Dissension in St. Philip's Would Rector Oust C
Estrangement is Alleged Between Rector Bishop and His Assistant, Curate Daniels After 17 Years Together
Daniels' Friends Denounce Aspersions Upon His Loyalty and Say He Has Done Much in Developing St. Philip's
Christian friendliness and brotherhood in St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal Church, West 134th street, Manhattan, is at a rather low ebb, if prevalent rumors and allegations have any foundation. The basis of these reports is said to be found in an alleged estrangement between the rector, the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, and his curate, the Rev. E. W. Daniels, who has been associated in the work at St. Philip's for the past seventeen years.
As a proof of this alleged estrangement, it is reported to be charged by friends of the curate that the rector has recently gone to the presiding bishop of the diocese and formulated severe criticisms against his assistant, although the curate has been exceedingly energetic and faithful in performance of his duties.

Another charge against Rector Bishops is that he encouraged Mr. Daniels in adding a large number of West Indian Episcopalians to St. Phillip's membership, his afterwards became dissatisfied and expressed himself in uncomplimentary manner concerning the intelligence of this new element in the church body. It is said that friends of Mr. Daniels are indignant at the treatment he is required to have received recently at hands of the rector, and they are the more indignant, it is said, because the effective work of the curate, coupled with his loyalty to the rector, has been an outstanding part of the church's development.
To Oust Rev. Daniels?
It came, about for a, reason to account for the rector's attitude, it is especially that many think he is trying to our lives. Daniels to make place for his son the Rev. Shelton H. Bishop in the presence of a church in Pittsburgh. Paul is alleged in this connection that the Bishop's health is a subjugation and that he is desiplomc citizen for eminus, with his salary for its present figure, but at any time he wants to 'keep the curse' of Philip's Church in the firm.
The recent defeat of two members of the rector's board and the removal of two officers at the 1920 election,—all of the four supposed to be in opposition to the rector's plans and propositions,—and the place filled by men who are supposed to be his supporters and in sympathy with his projects, is alleged to partake in a plan by which Dr. Bishop hopes to eventually build up a vestry which will appointe his ambition to perpetuate the health dynasty in St. Philip.
Deacons the Proposition.
It is not unfortunate that friends of Mr. Daniels are to be sacrificed. They are to be spoken in denunciation of efforts to deprive the value of his tenure, and they repudiate allegations that he has been in any degree retaliation in his sector. They claim that he has given faithful support to everyone for the upbuilding of St. Philip, and that especially wreathes the large body of new members brought into the church principally through the curate's efforts should be treated with such alleged discountess as is contained in imputations upon their intelligence.
It is alleged also that there have been tactics for dissatisfaction in certain financial transactions of the church, charges in various sorts having been made.

some of them intimating such unavailable processes as alleged graft and other misuses of funds.
Recent occurrences in the church which contained a question of moral standards are reported to have given rise to criticism of the rector's position in the matter. Too great sympathy with certain moral infractions is alleged and there critics in the congregation who have found an analogy in his attitude in these church cases to his support of the Y. M. C. A. secretary, Thomas E. Taylor who was asked to resign because of alleged moral indiscretion.
Infecting Color Occlusion
In this connection, it is said that although a member of the Committee of Management of the coloured branch Y. M. C. A. for a matter of some fifteen years, Dr. Bishop had attended hardly more than a half-dozen meetings of that body prior to the meetings at which the Taylor charges were considered.
The question of racial color line is also injected into the matter, one of the averages being that members of the congregation are seen only in the parish hall offices of the church, thus being kept away from personal contact with the home and family circle of the rector. Critics of Dr. Bishop have called attention to the fact that one of the sons of the family was a member of the United States Navy as a white man, and that he has married a white woman and is living entirely away from his race. Another member of the family, a daughter, is alleged to be teaching in a nearby city, but is not known to her superiors or associates as a colored woman.
As a general result of these elements of dissension and discord it is said that a large section of St. Philip's membership has curtailed greatly its support of the work of the parish, and intend continuing in this passive state until better conditions are obtained.

Advance announcement, of the play, "Goat Alley," referred to it as dealing largely with the sex life of the Negro in aggregated districts, and as having a subtle sociological value, a value which especially appealed to the head of the Department of Sociological Research of the Medical Review of Responses. It was also announced that no adolescents, or persons under 20 years of age, would be permitted to see the plays. Certain suggestions or intimations in the literature sent out concerning the proposal presentation gave the impression, indefinite perhaps, but distinct enough not to be altogether a shadow, that the author, in this play, was creating a propaganda intended for healthful effects upon the problem of the races. As the sponsoring organization, the Medical Review of Responses, had previously brought out the play "Damaged Goods," in which disease problems were presented, it was not unnatural; that the idea should occur that "Great Alley" was intended to further that particular propaganda.
But I doe nothing of the sort. This scenes are placed in the shams its characters are of the lowest shum type, and the
SHOWER BATHS FOR HARLEM'S LITTLE KIDS
Alderman Charlie, H. Roberts of the 22th A. D., New York City, is in receipt of information from Otto B. Shulthof, chairman of Mavor Hylan's Committee on Recreation and Playgrounds, to the effect that as a result of the action of the Board of Aldermin in appropriating money for public shower baths, it would be possible to install such showers as he would recommend within his district.
Alderman Roberts has advised Chairman Shulthof of his desire that these showers should be installed in Public Schools 119, 82, 68 and 5, and they will be available for use of Harlem's kids within a short while.

Watt Terry Takes Oven Stock of 50 Per Cent Sharing Co. Buys Controlling Interest in Church Realty Organization, Paying Stockholders Par Value For Their Holdings
One of the biggest realty stock propositions recently handled in Manhattan was the taking over by Walt Terry, president of the Terry Holding Co., 202 West 140th street, of the entire capital stock of the Fifty Per Cent Sharing Company, Inc., and organization formed several years ago largely among the membership of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, the Rev. W. W. Brown pastor. More than three hundred stockholders were listed upon the books of the company. The Fifty Per Cent Sharing Company had secured control of some ten pieces of property, comprising apartments and stories, and the attractiveness of the investment induced Mr. Terry to make a bid which the stockholders accepted. Every share of stock acquired by Mr. Terry was paid for at its par value of $10 per share, and many of the members of the company held from fifty to one hundred shares. One of the largest shareholders was the pastor. Dr. Brown, who sold his stock, some seventy shares, to Mr. Terry at its par value—one hundred cents on the dollar.
The ten apartment houses covered in this transaction are located as follows. Five at 201-3-5-7-9 West 141st street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues; 129 West 142nd street; 50-60 West 139th street; 5 West 131st street; and two at Seventh avenue and 128th street. The total value of these proper-

play porcels from beginning to end to present the sleep and surroundings of these people, without the slightest effort to raise them, abusing their environment and without any light high light of moral disgrace.
The nearest approach to anything of this sort is found in the character of Lucy Belle Dorsey, an unmarried girl who has a single career years, old, its father being Leif Plaster, a man with whom she had lived, as she put it, through fear of physical injury if she refused, and then whom she ran away at a conceived threat. The boy becomes infatuated when another slum detritus, Sam Read, is sent to prison for injurious infliction, upon Plaster, who re-discovering Luna, joins up attempting to force her to rejoin him. The fight furnishes the boy's only help.
Then while Alice is in prison, one of Lucy's old friend's guests on the scene. And it is in a place where this main Chick Aurry, who so persuade Lucy to subvert to his enmails that she reaches, whom he be called her highest flight.

But this flight shortly takes her off the ground, as the shortly herself in a financial straight housing of the inroads upon her small savings by a depee-friend, Slim Duray, and so when Chick would have gone from her she called him himself and allowed his to become her lower.
There is no one possessing feature in the whole play, from the startpoint of any sort of people. The audience, which would have gone from the capacity, accustomed to seeing of such people, was composed almost entirely of whites who probably had not contact with the Krogo race which would enable them to know that the characters presented in this play are not typical of the race as a whole.
Each character was delimited with emphasis on its seriéd lustful characteristics, the language was unimpeded and unmodified; there was no intimation by suggestion or innendo; but a bare-facedmning of whatever feature the degraded life it was wanted to portray. Dr. Victor Robinson, head of the Sociological Department of the Medical Review of Reserves, addressed the audience prior to the first-curtain, and made an express disclaimer that the play was propaganda. With that statement in mind, the query comes into mind: What can be the object of the organization in bringing before the people—the white people especially—such a story of degradation, shame and despair as is contained in "Great Alley?" The play is degrading. It is foath-

An Agn representative called upon Mr. Terry and asked him as to the reason why the Fifty Per Cent Sharing Co. stockholders were willing to relinquish their interests in the company. Mr. Terry declined to express any opinion or to give any answer to that question. He declared, however, that the taking over of the stock appealed to him as a worth while investment, and that it way to be remembered that every stockholder had been paid one hundred cents on the dollar for their investments, thus not lining one penny in the transaction. Mr. Terry said also at while he had purchased the controlling interest there were some shares outstanding still which would be cared for at the same rate whenever presented by its holders. Since making such purchase, Mr. Terry has regretted the proposition, with himself as president and treasurer.

The main transfer of stock was allocated at a meeting called by the Rev. Dr. W. W. Brown, pastor, at Metropolitan Baptist Church. Seventh avenue and 12th street, on Monday evening, from 13th.

NO JIM CROW LECTURES
BY BOARD OF EDUCATION
In response to an invitation from President Anning S. Prall of the New York Board of Education, Dr. Charles H. Roberts, Alderman from the 72th district, and William Pickens called on him at 4 o'clock on Tuesday, June 21st, and discussed the recent letter of Ernest L. Crandall, director of lectures under the Board of Education, to Dr. Roberts, in which it was proposed that lectures for colored Harlemites alone should be arranged for at the 135th street Branch library.
Dr. Roobets declined to accede to the jim crow idea and sent copies of the correspondence to Dr. Prall. At the interview on Tuesday, the Board president declared in unqualified terms that there was no room in the New York school system for the segregation idea. He is against any injection of racial differences into the school rooms, saying that no race group should be permitted to use the public schools in a movement against the interests of another race group. The public schools are for all the people.
Mr. Pickens sold an Act representative that Dr. Prall's attitude showed him to be entirely in accord with the position taken by Alderman Roberts and himself, and that while no direct statement was made concerning Crandall, it was clearly evident that the president was not in sympathy with the proposed plan of his subordinate official.
There will be no jim crow lectures under the Board of Education lecture bureau, whether it be directed by Crandall or anybody else, is the substance of results achieved by the uncompromising attitude of Alderman Roberts and his associates.

Tulsa Negroes Need Help to Save Realty
Burned Area Comprises Valuable Land Desired by White Business Men
"Riot Clause" in Policies Will Make It Almost Impossible to Collect From Companies—Letter from Oklahoman
From 3,500 to 4,000 people are homeless and without clothes in Tulsa, Okla., save for the little they had on when escaping the lawless and barbarous mobs, according to a letter which the editor of The Age has received from T. J. Elliott, merchant of Muskogee, Okla., and proprietor of stores in three Oklahoma cities—Muskogee, Ocmulgee and Tulsa. His letter is in reply to letters from The Age for first hand information concerning conditions in Tulsa, especially with reference to the needs of the Tulsa colored residents for relief from the outside.
Notwithstanding that the colored citizens of Tulsa are homeless, penniless and without clothes, Mr. Elliott declares that they are fighting to keep up their morale and not be crushed by the weight of their misfortunes. He declares that relief is imperatively needed to ward off starvation, and that help is also needed to get some of the people away from Tulsa to other points where work may be found.

The store of Elliott & Hooker, a department enterprise, carrying full lines of clothing, shoes, hats, men's furnishings and ladies' ready-to-wear, a conservative estimate of the stock's value being not less than $20,000, was completely destroyed. The leading Baptist church congregation had just completed a structure which cost $50,000, and this was totally destroyed also. And Mr. Elliott declares that true clauses in the insurance policies will make it difficult, if not impossible, to collect from the underwriting companies.
Valuable Realty Involved
The location of the burned buildings comprise a valuable realty district, one which has long been desired by the whites for an extension of the white business territory. And now it alleged that the whites are trying to take advantage of the gleedy circumstances of the ruined Negroes to force them into an undeveloped section north of the city of Tulsa, far from the center of business activities, and it is quite probable that this will be done unless such assistance is rendered as will enable the colored citizens to rebuild on their original properties. Most of them have lost everything save the lots, and a failure to collect insurance will put them in a position from which they will be unable to save the land.
S. D. Hooker, who is Mr Elliott's partner in the store at Tulsa, is chairman of the local relief committee, and contributions of money, clothing, etc. may be sent by Age readers direct to him at Tulsa. The letter from Mr Elliott, under date of June 14th, is as follows:

(Special to The New York Age)
Northampton, Mass.—The most thrilling and outstanding feature of the Smith College commencement on June 11th was the sight of a colored girl being awarded a double honor—the degrees of a Bachelor of Art and a Master of Art at the same time. The girl was Eunice Hunton, 21 years of age, of Brooklyn, N. Y. daughter of the late William A. Hunton, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and Mrs. Audie W. Hunton, one of the field secretaries of the N. A. A. C.
Miss Humton was the only one in a class of nearly five hundred girls to take the two degrees at the same time, and only one other girl has accomplished the same thing since Smith College: the largest women's college in the world, was founded in 1898. The young colored girl did the work necessary for their degree. The regular four years, college training, gave with

Facing Starvation
"Kellet is needed to ward off starvation and help get some of the people out of Tulsa to other cities where work may be found.
"Our loss was complete. The Elliott Hooker Store, of which I owned the controlling part, along with every other business house in the colored section, was burned. Riot clause in insurance policy will render insurance difficult, if not impossible to collect. The whites are trying to force the colored people out of the burned area, which is very valuable and desirable for the extension of the white whole-scale district. If some relief is not given those people who have lost all except their lots, they will lose their lots and be forced to move back to an undeveloped section north of the city, which is far from the center of activity and not at all desirable.
"Such help as may be given now should be of a character to afford immediate relief, consisting of such funds as may be able to gather. And permanent relief, details of plans, now being worked out, should be of a kind to promote mutual cooperation to finance a rebuilding program. Mr S. D. Hooker chairman of the relief committee, is my business partner and manager of our Tulsa store at time of fire, is a member of the state inter-racial committee and chairman of the branch Y. M. C. A.

Raleigh, N. C.-The Y. W. C.
A Student Conference has just closed its most successful conference here. It was in charge of Miss Eva Bowles of New York City, assisted by Miss May Hawes as hostess, and Miss Ethea Briggs as registrar. A compulsory assisted visit to the institution, consisting of Catherine W. Eddy, Miss Wanita Skunk, Miss Belle Morelle, Miss Wanita Sadler and Miss Juliet Derre-cot
Dr. H. H. Proctor of Brooklyn was the only man in attendance upon the conference and gave lectures on the Bible and also a series of addresses of fundamentals. About one hundred students were present representing Shaw, Hampton, Fisk, Talladega, Fort Valley, Livingstone, Knoxville, Kittrell, and others.
The conference was held on the spacious grounds of the St. Augustine Episcopal School, located on the south of the city. The entire facilities of the institution were put at the disposal of the conference.
One of the inspiring incidents of the conference was the interchange of sentiment between it and the white center at Ashewalt's Fraternity were sent from Ashewalt to the colored conference and the turn from the one to Augustine to the one at Ashlewalt. Personal growths were brought from the Ashlewalt Conference to the Musk Young, a native North Carolina, who added greatly to the conference by her inspiring addresses.
The conference was well planned that all the hours of the day and night were fully used. Play had a larger part in the proceedings, so that the girls at no time felt a sense of fatigue. On the whole, this was proof of the distinguished visitors were Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins, Brown and Bishop Delaney. Colored citizens of Kaleigh extended many courtesies to the people of the conference. One afternoon they took the entire body and groomed the city in an automobile ride at a visit who made to the little library of O'Kelly Method, established by Barry O'Kelly.

Keeping Children in School
Keeping Children in School
Every State now has a compulsory day school attendance law, according to information recently passed by the U. S. Department of Labor through the Children's Bureau. The Bureau has just completed an analysis of education affecting child labor, the results of which are published in a chart entitled "State Compulsory School Standards Affecting the Employment of Minors."
In five States attendance is required until 18 years of age; in two of these in certain districts only; in three until 17; and in thirty-two until 16. One State requires attendance until 15, six others and the District of Columbia until 14, and one State requires attendance until the age of 12 years, but applies this to illiterates only.
Unfortunately, the exemptions in the majority of States are no numerous that they greatly limit the application of the law. The most common exemptions are for employment, or upon completion of a specified school grade. Four States specifically exempt for work in agricultural pursuits, three with no age provision. The laws of fourteen other States contain loosely worded provisions exempting a child at any age, which might be used to cover absence for farm work as well as for many other purposes. Several States exempt a child whose services are necessary for the support of himself or others, without any age or educational provision. The amount of attendance required is still unsatisfactory in many States, several demanding only twelve, sixteen, or twenty weeks in a year. Even in States where city' children must attend for eight or nine months, the amount of attendance required in rural school districts is sometimes considerably less.
TRAINING NEGRO HOME
MAKERS IN THE SOUTH
(Special to The New York Age)
Nashville, Tenn.-That home economics education in the colored schools of fourteen Southern states is recognized as essential to a well-rounded curriculum and that earnest efforts are being expended to raise the standard of work in colored schools, through more adequate financial support and improved supervision, was the opinion expressed by Miss Carrie Alberta Lyford, director of the Hampton Institute home-economics school, in her recent address on "Home-Economics Education for the Colored Girl", delivered before the Southern Home Economics Association, which met at George Peabody College.
"Courses in home-making in Negro schools," said Miss Leford, "have been carried on in various parts of the South for more than fifty years, but so scattered have been these efforts to train Negro girls to standards of better living, so lacking in recognition by the State departments of education, and so generally thwarted by the absence of a definite, carefully-arranged, well-adopted program that there can be said to have existed no well-defined plan of home-economics education for the Negro girl.
Need for Definite Scheme.
"With the appointment of supervisors or the colored rural schools in every Southern state, with the development of recognized home-economics departments in the State normal schools for Negroes, with the growth of the home-demonstration work for Negro women under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and with the establishment of vocational home economics under the Negro girl (for a definite definition, the need for a definite scheme for home-economics education for the Negro girl has become increasingly apparent. "Negro education along all lines has suffered solely through lack of organ

ized effort and co-operative endeavor. Home-economics education for the Negro has in no sense been an exception to the prevailing condition, though special interest in some phases of the work, funds for maintenance, and recognition by educators have all been lacking. In many cases cooking schools have been left without stoves, sewing rooms have been without machines; no provision has been made for supplies for cooking or sewing lessons; and State and county officials too frequently have known nothing of existing conditions.
Learning by Doing.
"Early courses in home-making for Negro girls were largely taught by Northern white women who came South to aid in the establishment of industrial schools which were supported by Northern capital. These scattered industrial schools, however, became centers of development for the Negro communities in which they were established, but the fact that they were private institutions deprived them of that wide usefulness which it is alone possible for well-supported State institutions to exert. Such institutions as Hampton and Tushegee, which have had a high degree of independence and of freedom from binding conditions, have made possible the development of a type of education that is full of suggestion for vocational schools today.
"The motto of Hampton, 'Learning by Doing,' has stood for making use of all the facilities of daily life for training. Thus, from the first, the girls were carefully trained in various processes of housework, even though no formal courses of home economics were developed. Such training has continued to form an important part of the home-conomics education of Hampton girls and of the girls in all the well-conducted industrial schools."
The Preparation Necessary.
"When determinin: the sort of home economics course that is to be offered it is necessary to know very definitely the amount of preparation that the teachers have had and their ability to carry on the work. The limitations in the educational opportunity of the colored people are nowhere more apparent than in the preparation of their teachers. This is particularly true of the teachers of home economics, most of whom have had a meager elementary education, a still more limited secondary education, and a normal training of a few weeks in summer school or, at best, a few months of practice teaching in conjunction with a secondary course.
"Two years normal courses are being offered today, but it will be many years before the home-economics teachers wohin such courses will be sufficient in number to supply the demand for teachers of home economics in all the city schools and in the county training schools, of the South.
"For many years to come home-economics courses must be so planned that they can be effectively taught by teachers who have been trained in the industrial schools. They are capable of doing good work and great numbers of them are doing effective work all over the South. Their work can be strengthened by wise supervision and by increased opportunities for summer-school courses and other forms of advanced study."

DEAR GIRLS:
Now I just know you've expecting to read something thrilling from "Deb. No. 1" as my preceding slater Deb named naked me. But I want to point out that this pointment. Unfortunately this issue will have gone to press before we carry out our much discussed plan of attack upon the mysterious Glitch which you have heard of and will bear more about. I feel as if I have known all of you for ever so long. Therefore also I feel good that in column 4 I don't think hard of me for not writing anything real interesting this time, but if you could only see the dreadultity black and the realism of this little girl that I may study a little longer—well I just know you'd sympathize with and parade me. Nevertheless, "Deb. No. 4" has gained a reputation for her charming perseverance. So I am sure you will enjoy hearing from her lots better than from "Tiddle Winks" alias "Deb. No. 3." New York City.

MAKING CAPITAL OF CRIME.
The latest reports from the riot ridden down of Tulsa indicate that the losses suffered by the Negro business men and residents were so complete as to constitute almost a total wreck of the property owned by the race. Homes that the schools and business houses were turned to the ground, and in many cases the inmates were shot down by the mob, including defenceless women. Fully 3,500 to 4,000 people were rendered homeless and destitute, without clothes, food or money.
Nevertheless the colored citizens of Tulsa, sootly stricken as they have been by the fury of the mob, are struggling with indomitable spirit to save themselves from being utterly crushed by the weight of their losses. Facing the future with resolution and courage, they are utilizing such measures of relief as the situation affords. Immediate relief is provided in the shape of funds to meet the increasing necessity of clothing and feeding the sufferers are to help get some of them out of Tulsa to other cities where they may secure work.
A more permanent form of relief will need to be desired to have a program for rebuilding the portion of the town destroyed as it is feared. the collection of the insurance will be difficult, owing to the existence of a riot clause in the policies. Already a movement has developed among the whites of the town to try to force the colored people out of the burned area, which is considered very valuable and desirable for the extension of the white wholesale district. If relief is not given the owners of the burned property, it is feared that they may lose their lots and be forced to retreat to an undeveloped section north of the city and not at all desirable.
This movement among the whites of Tulsa to make capital out of the crime committee by the mob should be denounced by the farmed men of both races. Those who would utilize such a calamity for profit would put them on a level with the ghouls and robbers who pimped the stores before they were destroyed and filthy valuables from the bodies of the dead.
MODERN CHURCH ACTIVITIES.
Progressive church members of nearly all denominations have come to recognize that a great deal more is demanded of a religious institution nowadays than the mere holding of two or three services for worship and prayer every Sunday. The progressive members of the ministry have labored to meet this demand and the modern church which tries to keep up with the times has become a center of neighborhood activities. Its doors are open everyday in the week, both morning and evening, not only for the purpose of prayer and praise, but to afford counsel and instruction, exercise and recreation for the development of its members, mentally, mortally and physically.
In order to meet these various demands and minister effectively to the community needs, a broader and more fully rounded type of pastor has been required. While the orthodox theological training must serve as the foundation for ministerial service, the modern pastor must bring to bear a thorough knowledge of human nature, familiarity with business procedure and a high order of executive ability, in order to keep the ecclesiastical machinery moving a modern congregation is a tasking a modern congregation in a task telling for every quality demanded in any other line of business, with the addition of the quality of priestcraft.
An encouraging exhibit of the results that may be accomplished in building up a strong and active church organization through the efforts of a capable and energetic pastor, supported by an efficient corps of workers, is presented in the case of Mother Zion Church of New York City. Founded over a century ago as the nucleus of the Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church, this society enjoyed a prosperous and tranquil existence until eight years ago, when it became distrupted and disorganized as a result of a change of pastors. Under the present pastor, the Rev. James W. Brown, who was sent to restore conditions the following results have been achieved: The membership has been increased from 300 in 1913 to 3,000 live members on the hill; Sunday School from 150 to 700 students; church income from $8,994.93 in 1913-14, to $49,182.28 for the year ending May 1911. The church was re-raised from 81st Street to West 11th
to serve as a parsonage and a Brotherhood house to accommodate the social service activities. Thirtythree active auxiliaries help in the church activities, all but five having, been organized during Dr. Brown's pastorate.
The success that has attended this effort to revive and build up a disrupted congregation is full of encouragement for all church workers contending against conditions of like character. The fact that a church noted for its conservative growth and then threatened with dissolution through dissention, has been restored to greater strength as an active and efficient factor for social service, shows the possibilities of religious work under aggressive leadership and a devoted following. Modern church activities must include attractions to draw and hold the young people in the form of proper recreation and amusements, as well as mental and physical exercise to help their full development into useful manhood and womanhood.
ONLY DEMOCRATS ELIGIBLE.
Commenting on the movement engineered by representative Bascom Slemp of Virginia, "a regular Negro latter and lily white leader," to build up the Republican party by eliminating 90 percent of its followers in the South, the Atlanta Independent proceeds to show how the scheme would work in Georgia. It contends that the qualifications laid down for the committee of one hundred which is to reorganize the party, are absurd and exclude from participation in the conference every active Republican. It adds:
The proposed qualifications exclude every member of the present organization and every person who assures to office or who has any relatives aspiring to office. The qualifications laid down exclude every man who has ever held office and every man who is not actively engaged in trying to promote the best interest of the party in the state in any way. Therefore, if every man who has held office is excluded, and every man who is a member of the organization, and every individual who is a member of either faction opposing the organization or opposing one another who will constitute the committee? Since all Republicans active or inactive, known or unknown are excluded, there is nobody left to constitute the committee except Democrats.
Under such a state of affairs the reorganization of the Republicans of of Georgia would have to be carried out by well disposed and deserving Democrats. A sufficient number of the opposite party could probably be formed to undertake the job, and to do it so thoroughly that it would be hard to find any remnants of the former Republican organization. Incidentally, they would undoubtedly reap the reward of their labor by dividing the Federal offices in Georgia among themselves.
What benefit the Republican National organization, or the administration in power expects to gain from this sort of thing, it is hard to conceive. It will strike the disinterested observer as a cowardly surrender to Bourbon Democracy. Those who are responsible for this surrender should Remember Fort Pallow, and the policy pursued by its captain, the rebel Gen. Forrest, whose praises were so recently celebrated by Secretary Denby.
SOUND DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE
"The Boston Post which arrogates to
melt the destination of being "the
independent Democratic paper of New
England," has been preaching some
doctrine which sounds queer coming
from such a source. Taking the remarks
of President Harding, made at
Lincoln University, as a test, it admits
that he was treading on fairly safe
ground when he told the students that
education was the remedy for the racial
problem in the South. And it added
that at least seven-eighths of the
citizens of the United States regard it as
helping a great deal.
But the Post denounced to the President's statement "that no government can wave a magic wand and take a race from bourdage to citizenship in a half century. All that the government can do is to afford the opportunity." In taking issue with the President, it asked this pertinent question:
But is "to afford the opportunity" all that the government can do? We think not, with all due respect to Mr. Harding. The government can see that the colored men and women of the South be guaranteed the vote, as the Constitution of the United States says they shall. Congress can compel this by the national House at any time it chooses. But Congress, o f which every party, is afraid to tackle the job.
The Post has touched upon a tender place in thus fixing the responsibility for the suppression of the suffrage in the South upon Congress, though it would hardly have gone so far under an administration that was not Republican. Nevertheless, its position is sound, regardless of which party is in power. Whether reduction of representation would correct the situation is doubtful, but Congress has the power to remedy the situation by the enactment of adequate legislation to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. As the Post largely concluded, "You cannot educate a section of the people into something fine and untroubling if you deny them the prime right of an American citizen."
While this conclusion undoubtedly sounds peculiar coming from a Democratic paper, and may be intended only to embarrass an administration of the opposite party, it is sound and unassailable as an expression of fact. The party that has the courage to carry out a policy founded on this basis will deserve the support of all good citizens, recognition of policy or post-political adherence.
THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1921
PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS
On Monday, the "World" carried a dispatch from Washington which did not seem to be generally carried by the New York papers. This dispatch was to the effect that "leading Negro politicians have been told that they will not be given positions under the Harding administration that have to be passed upon by the Senate." That statement is understood to mean that such positions as Register of the Treasury and Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia will go to white men.
but seem to be generally carried by the dispatch was to the effect that "leave have been told that they will not be givenarding administration that have to be." That statement is understood to me. Register of the Treasury and Recorder of Columbia will go to white men. Match adds that a large number of "minor unt colored men and women. Match further states that the above decision Mr. Will H. Hayes has quit as chairman of the Committee, and was succeeded by Mr. Hays has all along opposed the plan of Virginia to build up a Republican Party in the Negro. Up to this time, Mr. Hayes has kept it from being officially recognized that the new chairman, Mr. Adams, is now toward the Stemp plan than was Mr. Hays. The element in the party is going to be being true its dream of a powerful white South." We do not know whether the "dispatch" is authoritative or not, but least, the most ominous sign that has political sky.
The administration made the announcement would be appointed to offices in the residents would be distasteful to white public district. Colored citizens all over the city concession to the lily-white element have not yet forgiven Mr. Taft for making "World" dispatch is strictly in accord announced in it goes much farther Mr. Taft, for under the decision now the traditionally conceded Register of the Deeds will be filled by colored men of opinion among thoughtful colored people of political positions filled by and perhaps a majority, have connected of no importance whatever, and many of political appointive positions by caucip and a drawback to the race. He an intelligent, progressive colored manal position, it not only muzzles him, but a silencer on the race at large. There with these positions, yet there is much to deal with people, constituting as they do about it should be represented in the administration for 12,000,000 colored American citizens representative in the Government appointed be not only a humiliation, but a denial rights of citizenship. Nothing would be than for the Negro to declare that he do not hold office by appointment.
In spite of the evil effects suffered by the colored politicians, it must be said that of colored men who have filled appoint was reflected credit upon themselves, up country. The fact that these men have high positions has helped to impress upon the Negro's right to such positions. On hand, it must be admitted that through one nothing can be accomplished practice of the race. This can only be done by offices.
Frozen intelligent, honest colored men do more, and more effective work than colored men who have ever held appoint will. Colored men elected to office to their constituents, and it would thereafter than to their peril to fight the battle and the power they possessed.
As this action of the epublican party "World" is temporarily, we say, an indicate that whereas the Democrats will their party ship, the Republicans intend. One circumstance seems to be about after all, being thrown overboard is tested for teaching a fellow how to swim; which will make the American Negro and immer in the political sea, he will need to science.
That from now until 1924, the Negro need not but his brain in things political. He read of the things done and the things left. Party, and finally, colored citizens when at the unanimous decision to vote here for performance.
The dispatch adds that a large number of "minor places" will go to prominent colored men and women.
This dispatch further states that the above decision was not reached until Mr. Will H. Hays had quit as chairman of the Republican National Committee, and was succeeded by Mr. John T. Adams. Mr. Hays has all along opposed the plan of Congressman Slemp of Virginia to build up a Republican Party in the South by eliminating the Negro. Up to this time, Mr. Hays' opposition to this plan has kept it from being officially recognized and put into execution.
It appears that the new chairman, Mr. Adams, is more favorably disposed toward the Slemp plan than was Mr. Hays, and that the lily white element in the party is going to be given carte blanche to bring true its dream of a powerful white Republican party in the South. We do not know whether the information in the "World" dispatch is authoritative or not, but if so, it is temporarily at least, the most ominous sign that has yet appeared in the Negro's political sky.
The Taft administration made the announcement that no colored man would be appointed to offices in the South where such appointments would be distasteful to white people of the community or district. Colored citizens all over the country deeply resented this concession to the illly white element and southern prejudice, and have not yet forgiven Mr. Taft for making it.
But if the "World" dispatch is strictly in accord with the facts, the decision announced in it goes much farther than the one announced by Mr. Taft, for under the decision not even such positions as the traditionally conceded Register of the Treasury and Recorder of Deeds will be filled by colored men. There is a wide difference of opinion among thoughtful colored people themselves as to the importance of political positions filled by colored men. A great many, and perhaps a majority, have come to think that it is a question of no importance whatever, and may feel that the holding of political appointive positions by colored men is a direct handicap and a drawback to the race. These latter feel that when an intelligent, progressive colored man is appointed to a political position, it not only muzzles him, but influences him to act as a silencer on the race at large. There are good grounds for both these positions, yet there is much to be said on the other side.
The colored people, constituting as they do about one-tenth of population, should be represented in the administration of the Government. For 12,000,000 colored American citizens not to have a single representative in the Government appointed by the President would be not only a humiliation, but a denial of one of the important rights of citizenship. Nothing would please our enemies better than for the Negro to declare that he did not want any of the race to hold office by appointment.
And, too, in spite of the evil effects suffered by the race on account of some colored politicians, it must be said that there has been a long line of colored men who have filled appointive offices in a way that has reflected credit upon themselves, upon the race and upon the country. The fact that these men have honorably filled certain high positions has helped to impress upon the mind of the country the Negro's right to such positions.
On the other hand, it must be admitted that through appointive positions alone nothing can be accomplished practically for the general welfare of the race. This can only be done effectively through elective offices.
A half dozen intelligent, honest colored men elected to Congress could do more, and more effective work than has been done by all the colored men who have ever held appointive offices and, perhaps, ever will. Colored men elected to office would be responsible only to their constituents, and it would therefore be to their interest rather than to their peril to fight the battle of those constituents with all the power they possessed.
Nevertheless, this action of the epublican party leaders as indicated in the "World" is temporarily, we say, an ominous sign. It seems to indicate that whereas the Democrats will not allow the Negro on their party ship, the Republicans intend to throw him overboard. One circumstance seems to be about as bad as the other. Yet, after all, being thrown overboard is very often the method adopted for teaching a fellow how to swim; and if anything happens which will make the American Negro an intelligent and powerful swimmer in the political sea, he will need to be thankful for the experience.
We repeat that from now until 1924, the Negro needs to use not only his eyes but his brain in things political. He must watch and keep a record of the things done and the things left undone by the Republican Party, and finally, colored citizens wherever they vote must arrive at the unanimous decision to vote hereafter not on promises, but on performance.
DEFENSELESS DIXIE

An organization to be known as the Dixie Defense Committee, is being organized with headquarters in the Healey Building at Atlanta, Ga. A call has been issued, signed by Rev. Caleb A. Ridley, chairman, and J. O. Wood, general secretary. The call is in the form of a circular letter with an application card for membership enclosed. The call opens with the following words:
"The DIXIE DEFENSE COMMITTEE is an organization of citizens, composed of men and women of the South, whose object is to refute the slamder and libel and to combat the vicious propaganda that is being circulated throughout the South by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its affiliated organizations, and any slamder or hurtful propaganda from any other source.
"Its immediate and specific purpose is to call upon the masses of real Southerners to lend their influence in the exposure and suppression of such propaganda and to the support of the daily constituted Law Enforcement officials in the execution of their duty in the fair and impartial enforcement of the law."
The application blank for membership contains the following pledge which members are supposed to subscribe to:
"PLEDQR"
"I have the utmost confidence in the honor and integrity of the Law Enforcement officers of my State, and I hereby pledge my support of same, and to the defense of my State against any form of slander and libel from any source whatsoever."
at most confidence in the honor and integrity of officers of my State and I hereby pledge my the defense of my State against any form of my source whatsoever."
In the Dixie Defense Conference in both
does need be defended it, but it does not need to be defended against the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or any other organization fighting for the common, legal and citizenship rights of the Negro. What Georgia needs to be defended against are her brutal and bloody practices of poonage and lynching. If the Defense Committee will undertake to help abolish the men who are fattening on the toil of ignorant Negroes whom they hold in the worst sort of slavery and the degenerate brutes who burn human beings at the stake, they will find there will be no need to defend their state against what they term "slander and hurtful propaganda."
When the Committee pledged itself "to the support of the duly constituted law enforcement officials in the execution of their duty and fair and impartial enforcement of the law," they will find every colored man, woman and child in the United States in absolute agreement with them. If, however, the Dixie Defense Committee instead of trying to clean up Georgia, should devote all of its effort to the suppression of "propaganda" they will find that they are in for an unending battle.

One of the fimmiest stories we have ever seen regarding an "attack" by a colored man on a white woman appears in the Montgomery (Ala.) "Advertiser" of June 14. This account states that a white woman residing on the lower end of Day street was shot and painfully wounded by officers of the Montgomery Police Department, who had been stationed there to watch for a Negro who had said he was coming back to make an "assault" upon the woman.
The Montgomery "Advertiser" says that according to information received from a woman who resided in the same house with the injured girl, the Negro had been to the house Sunday night and had attempted to assault the girl, but she had persuaded him to leave.
The "Advertiser" continues by saying that the Negro is said to have told the girl when he left her that he would return the next night, and that if she told anyone of his visit to her room that he would kill her. The Police authorities got hold of this story and two policemen were stationed in waiting for the man. We quote here directly from the account as given in the "Advertiser":
"About 1:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, the Negro was seen to raise the window in the room, his head appearing next. The officers fired three shots at man's head, one hitting him, one hitting the woman and the other going wild."
The man seems to have escaped, while the woman had to be carried to the hospital.
Of all the set stages for an "attack" on a white woman, by a colored man, this is the most theatrical we have ever yet heard of. We wonder if there are any people in Montgomery with little enough sense to believe this flimsy story?
CARE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS.
A correspondent of The Age calls attention to the necessity for greater care and vigilance in the safe keeping and investment of the endowment funds of the various secret fraternities and beneficial organizations. He makes the charge that when the endowment officer of the supposed strongest fraternity in one of the States below Mason and Dixon's lin turned over his books to his successor, the endowment department was found to be practically bankrupt. Whether through mismanagement or dishonesty, the funds had disappeared almost completely.
The care of organization funds held to meet endowments and death benefits should be guarded most carefully. The officers having charge of such funds should be required to give bonds for the safekeeping of the money or securities. This investment of such funds should be restricted to such securities only as savings banks are permitted and the use of them in private enterprises or for speculation should be strictly prohibited. The accounts and investments, as well as the cash on hand, of every officer of a fraternal order or beneficial organization should be examined and verified at least once a year by a certified public accountant, at the expense of the organization. This audit by a trained professional outside of the organization would be for the best interest of both the officer concerned and the society whose funds he holds.
Laxity in auditing accounts and requiring surety bonds for the faithful performance of the trust are responsible for much of the dereliction of duty charged in our beneficial organizations. There is need for more business-like methods to be pursued in the handling and investment of organization funds. Let the financial officers be bonded, preferably by a surety company and their accounts audited at proper intervals by competent public accountants.
'DISCORD IN MUSICAL WEEK.
The harmony of the First Musical week in Washington was marred by the attempted segregation of audiences according to race at the two high schools, where the closing entertainments were to be given. Golored talent was to appear at Central High the school for whites, and white artists at Dunbar High, the school for colored pupils. The sanitors of these two schools, it seems, were ordered by Miss Cecil V. Norton who had charge of the activities of the Civic Community in the schools, not to admit any persons of the upstate race to these entertainments.
When the colored entertainers heard of the order to exclude members of their race from Central High School, they were indignant and refused to sing. On the other hand, at the Dunbar School, according to the Washington Tribune, the white entertainers rendered a wonderful program to about 600 people, 300 of whom were white.
This proved that a considerable number of whites had no objection to going to an entertainment provided for colored auditors and listening to it in common with members of the other race. It also proved that segregation orders did not hold, when the effect of them was to bar our whites.
The responsibility for this attempt to prevent mixed audiences from gathering at the cultural entertainments seems to be the cultural industries like Boston and New York.
series we have ever seen regarding an a white woman appears in the Montgomery June 14. This account states that the lower end of Day street was shot by officers of the Montgomery Police Department there to watch for a Negro who so make an "assault" upon the womaniser says that according to informer who resided in the same house with the seen to the house Sunday night and girl, but she had persuaded him to be by saving that the Negro is said left her that he would return the next one of his visit to her room that he authorities got hold of this story and in waiting for the man. We quote as given in the "Advertiser":
morning, the Negro was seen to raise head appearing next. The officers fired hitting him, one hitting the woman and escaped, while the woman had to be in "attack" on a white woman, by a theatrical we have ever yet heard by people in Montgomery with little ensay story?
Tribune further accounted for it as follows:
It has been noticed that Senator Pat Harrison and Congressman Sissons, both of Mississippi, have been associating with members of both the School Board and Community Center and it is thought by some that they are the source of this "Jim Crow" spirit that is pervading the school system of the City of Washington.
Mississippi methods should not be allowed to prevail at the Nation's capital.
AN OLD SOLUTION REVIVED
The editor of the Houston (Tex. Observer) thinks that he only solution of the ever increasing racial hatred which reached such depths of savages in Tulsa, is for the Negro race to prepare to go back to Africa. He says.
Begin immediately to become a citizen of Liberia or some other point of that vast continent that gave our ancestors birth. You will naturally wonder if the editor of this paper is crazy by saving such, but he is far from insanity and only speaks these words after careful consideration of all other remedies. No, you won't find paved streets and electric lights throughout the jungles; neither did the white man find such luxuries when he came, but he felled the forest with our aid and fought the savages, famine and disease, all that he and his offspring might be free. If you ever intend to breathe the breath of Freedom, prepare to go back to Africa and that soon.
We wonder how far Editor Gilmore is prepared to go in carrying his advice into effect. Aside from the practical impossibility of transporting from ten to twelve million people to Africa, what guarantee is there that they will find either a welcome or an abiding place there? A few pioneers of Editor Gilmore might go ahead and locate suitable territory for those who would like to follow his advice.
Savannah is to have a real automobile race meet on July 4, staged by the Negro business men of that progressive Southern city. According to the Savannah Tribunes
Entries from all over the South, in amateur ranks, are being invited, and together with local drivers, these will provide a big show of speed and thrills for the great crowds which will assemble at the exposition grounds on July Fourth. It is going to be a real show. There is no earthly reason why our own people should not engage seriously in every line of endeavor, enterprise and competition which other people engage in. It takes a well-rounded activity in all phases of sports, as well as in the more dignified enterprises, to make a fullfledged, normal people. Our people must provide autoists and aviators just as much as that we have furnished the world some of history's greatest sports in other lines.
That is the kind of spirit that accomplished things in all lines of progressive effort. While auto racing is the sport of daredevils, the Negro must have his share of the risk and the glory.
In noting the taking charge of office of Collector of Internal Revenue at Jacksonville, by Daniel T. Gerow, the new collector, the Florida Sentinel recalled the fact that, the late Judge Joseph E. Lee, who held that office for eight years, on the expiration of his term, turned over affairs giving a perfect balance, and that his rating for efficiency was always A-1 at Washington. The same thing might be said with equal truth of Collector Rocket at Atlanta, god of Collector Andrewson in New York, the last named having

OFFICIAL HYDROCRISY
Free speech, free press, and other Anglo-Saxon rights be guaranteed, the press during the remainder of the United States maritime island, provided that they come them. This is the government's commitment of St. retary of L Russell, and M. Dartigan, 160 per cent. American print, the social republic. With Colonel Russell's proclamation, down of the press and of government, totally unrestricted articles, that are of an immediate nature that reflect adversely upon the States forces in Haiti, will up an agitation against States officers who are adding to porting the constitutional attack of Haiti, or articles of attacking the president of Haiti, the Haitian government, are put and offenders against this brought to trial before a jury in banal." The court martial because the civil courts of Haiti under the Dartigrainage government despite the intense satisfaction the Haitians are said to have every evidence of American agitation in the island, persistently convict those who wrong too far to speak and free printing.
What calls old-tashioned America on those proceedings is not the last just the Haitian; they are not allowed in any way or purpose they want, but the hypocrisy of our government surrounds the ordinary civil rights. They are careless reader of the exhilaries and as ever America has the best as promoter of conditions presenting ourselves to them. Long before there is no free speech in the press in Haiti and that Haitian government is not a criminal. Our position in Haiti seemingly imperialistic even did intervene in order to avert evils, and even though the matter of the Haitians with our institutions campaign greatly improved, Who puts what is so is not so?

It is probable that Bishop Wilbur P. Thurkield of the Methodist Episcopal Church has had intimate contact, and over a longer period, with the Negro than any other white man in the country. I can remember, as a very small gap, when he used to visit my father, a Baptist minister at our family home in Augusta, and the impression he made on my youthful mind as to his sincere devotion to the cause of the colored man has never been designated through many years that have since "gan the long way."
He was not a bishop at that time, but as I remember, was some kind of an educational secretary, traveling from one section of the country to the other, learning all the best elements of each community in the effort to better the colored child's educational opportunity. And the man whose life has been given to this purpose, even though elevation to the episcopacy of his church may have brought other educated duties.

cal spirit and goings of this group I was to find in our church at Panama City. The church was crowded. In the vestry I found one hundred Boy Scouts in training and they all marched into the church with soldierly bearing. A large choir, more than half being children, led the music. Instead of the cheap popular song book the Methodist Hymnal was used. I was greatly uplifted as choir and congregation joined in the great hymn of Henry Alfred:
"Forward be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us Not a look behind Burn the fiery pillar At our army's head. Who shall dream of shrinking By our Captain led? Forward, through the desert, Through the toll and fight Jordan flows before us Zion beams with light."
The martial spirit that animated this noble hymn was inspiring. The next hymn was number 421:
"Rejoice ye pure in heart.
Rejoice ye thanks and sing."
to the noble tone of Marion with its stirring refrain. The entire eight verses by Edwin H. Plumtree were sung. It was refreshing not to hear the preacher bawl out in the middle of the hymn, as one so often hears, "omit the 4th and 5th stanzas."
The soul of the preacher was kindled to a living flame and it was a privilege for me to preach the Word to this eager, expectant throng. The spirit of the meeting was such that the pastor followed the exhortation of the preacher with an invitation for those who would seek Christ to come forward to the altar rail. Now came the climax in the singing of these people, practically all day laborers on the Zone, yet showing the influence of the religious life and careful training on the part of the British Wesleyans in their West Indian Missions. Instead of their singing the oft-repeated refrain:
"Come to Jesus. Come to Jesus."
or some modern, empty sentiment to a flimsy tune, the invitation was given by the pastor in the thoughtful and expressive reading of hymn 252:
"God calling yet! I cannot say;
My heart I yield without delay.
Vain world farewell! from thee I part;
The voice of God hath reached my heart."
The spiritual force and moving appeal of this great hymn of Gebhard Tersenius in the late harmony of John D. Dykes' "Rivaux," as sung by choir and congregation, stirred the very depths of my soul. It also reached the heart of the people as the choral harmonies were tenderly uttered by these devout singers. One after another of the seckers came to the altar rail, which was filled with over thirty people, a number of them boys from the ranks of the "Scouts."
Why is it that, the majority of congregations are unable to sing these truly great hymns, set to lofty choral melodies and elevated harmonies by the great composers? Why is it that many of the old hymns are sung so often, into into into occasionally, not until they become monotonous and threadbare?
The pastor says complacently: "Well, they are the only hymns the people know." That may be true, but is it not the fault of the pastor? It is his business to know his hymnal and to see that the people are taught to know and to love the green, hymns and tunes of the ages. This is the Pauline method: "Teach and train one another with the music of the Psalms, with hymns, and songs of the spiritual life" (Mofatt, 1991). The congregation should and the moving force of inspiring singing by the congregation should be recognized by every pastor. Sympathetic cooperation with the choir will work wonders.
You can not drive out the cheap modern song-books, often with their inane words and lippity-cut, ragtime tunes by simply inweighing against them. They may however be supplanted by the expulsive power of a new affection for the ancient and modern hymns that have been tested and survive. Churches in my former New Orleans area responded to this method by purchasing over fifty thousand copies of a book of selections of a hundred hymns printed from the plates of the Methodist Hymnal, published by the writer through the Book Concern at Princeton, based in stiff clothing with Order of Sergey and Psalms, and sold at five dollars per hundred copies. It is gratifying to know that Bishop Jones* is exalting the place and power of music in all his conferences.
Aside from the enrichment of life in worship, inspiring, singing by the congregation has drawing power, sometimes beyond the sermon. Early Methodist itinerants were singing pilgrims. Like Punshon, they knew and used the hymns. It is significant that the seraphic Summerfield before preaching would walk up and down repeating hymns with the trumpet sound that set his soal affame for his message. Says a friend who was with him on a day prior to his entering the outpaint: "For an hour he walked the floor reading in an undertone, some of Charles Wesley's most rapturous hymns, then throwing himself on his knees, he would talk with God, craving with wonderful earnestness the unction from on high."
George Elliot got at one of the secrets of the power of Methodism, when she muses these words into the mouth of Toby: "It was mostly the hymns, first the Bible, and then mostly the hymns; for they are the Biffle, for the most part, only set to music-like, so that it rings in your heart like a time. Our class-leader is no great speaker; but he's not a wonderful feeling heart, and a fine voice for the hymns, and its they that has finished Parenom Weste's work and healed the wounds he made. "Open the door and let in more of that music" criss' larch Bophme in his death from. Through all the days now our amie he open to what Carltey called: "a kind of emotional unethereality which heals us to the edge of the hymns and lets us for a moment hear it."

A great question has this needd discussion and clarification and for this reason I venture again to trespass on your kindness in answer to Bishop Smith. Bishop Smith mingles the Pan-African Congress and the Garvey movement as practically one idea. This is a grave mistake. The Pan-African Congress has nothing to do with any "African for the African" movement. The object of the Pan-African Congress is simply to bring representatives of the various people of African descent into knowledge and common acquaintance, so that out of such conferences general policies and actions can be evolved.
Bishop Smith does well to emphasize our great ignorance of Africa, but that instead of being an argument against the Pan-African Congress is exactly its chief raison d'etre. Africa is today in the center of world interest. The question of its government, of its relation to the League of Nations and other countries, of the handling of its raw material and the status of its labor, are questions in which every modern civilized human being is vitally interested. Kindred questions affect persons of Africa and South America and the West loci, and questions are being discussed the world over. For us to refuse to discuss them or to learn about them would be the height of folly.
Many colored persons know this, but he has been restrained by the Garvey movement. Mr. Garvey's African program has been dangerous, ill-considered impracticable, and for that reason the Pan-African Congress has not invited him to participate. On the other hand, we must be generous enough to give Mr. Garvey the credit of having forseen the necessity of a union in business and social uplift between all the African people. He is not the man to carry this out because he lacks poise and business ability; all the more reason therefore for Bishop Smith and others to push a wise program. The two hundred or more millions of people of African descent in the world must through their educated men and women of character meet periodically in conference, get in touch with governments and philanthropic organizations and do what they can to solve the Negro problems throughout the world. It does not matter a picayune whether the initiative in this movement comes from a man born in New York or Capetown or Kingstown.
I am aware that many sympathies with Bishop Smith when they say that even if this work is important it ought not to be done by the N. A. A. C. P, because the N. A. A. C. P. has its hands full with its American program. This is in a sense true. It is true that a man with his house on fire has his hands full, but if his neighbors' houses are burning too and the whole block in confession it may be far sighted wisdom for him to help his neighbors at the same time that he helps himself. The Negro-problem in America will never be settled to long as Africa or the West Indies are areas of economic slavery and despotism. The African M. E. Church has its hands full in America and yet its wife Fathers almost from the beginning insisted on African missions, and the time may easily come when that small and often despised branch of the church's effort will become its greatest jewel. Direct run threatens that organization which interprets its program so narrowly and selfishly as to miss its manifest destiny and widest usefulness.
The N. A. A. C. P. is working in New York and in Oklahoma, in Florida and in Washington, but it would be false to its work in those very places if it did not also work in Haiti and Africa. I should myself gravely doubt the importance of the Pan-African movement had I not received such cordial good wishes and cooperation from persons of influence throughout the world, both white and black. Not only have well known leaders like Sir Harry Johnston, Senator La Fontaine, Henri Barbusse, Addams, and Rene Claparé approved the movement, but also American Negroes like Bishops Scott, Hurst, Coppin and Phillips, Professor Scarborough, H. O. Tanner, E. Morris, Chaplain Steward, L. G. Morris, F.R. Bottone, George E. Haynes, E. D. Bowles, John E. Brace, M. Moorland, Mrs. Addison Hinton, Mia Helen Curtis, and a sctor equally prominent, including the African Students' Union, the Haitian Delegation and the Liberian Plenary Commission.

CHAS. BANKS WRITES OF
THE SCHOOL AT OKOLONA
Mound Bayou, Miss-Chas. Banks,
leading spirit of Mound Bayou's bank
and cotton oil mill, is deeply interested
in the growth and development of the
school at Okolona. Miss. Situated in
the rich prairie section, the only school
for Negro children within a considerable
radius. Mr. Banks is of the opinion
that this school plant can be made
the best educational institution in East
Mississippi.
In line with this interest, he has written
the following letter to Bolton Smith
of Memphis, Tenn., who is genuinely interested in the Negro's educational development. The letter reads:
Mr. Bolton Smith.
Memphis, Tenn.
Referring again to the school at Okolona, I have been wondering if I could not in some way serve the cause there in a larger way than by the mere subscription. Okolona is situated, as you know, in or near the prairie section of the State, and in close proximity to Columbus, West Point, Starkville, Aberdeen, Tupelo, Macon, Pontotoc and Houston. With the exception of West Point, where we have the Mary Holmes Seminary for girls, we have no school for Negroes beyond the ordinary, and if new must could be given the plant at Okolona much should be accomplished. Again, Bishop Bratton, who has given every indication of a desire to do much for our educational advancement and who has really never received commendate advancement and appreciation from us, should be encouraged by more placing interest in our merit, which more will be helpful for the future. With this in mind I should be glad
at Kolona at which Dr. Moton could be secured as one of the principal speakers; the object; being to concentrate and concentrate on the school there, regardless of denominations, and make it the outstanding school of East Mississippi and improving on my people their duty and opportunity under the new and more advantageous supervision.
Without being too suggestive it is my idea that the Bishop and yourself should also be on the program. I might perhaps draw on Gco. H. Maya, Jr. Esq., who I used in working up the Clarkdale meeting last year at which Dr. Moton, Mr. Mooney and others spoke. One other suggestion; it strikes me that the meeting should be some three or four weeks after school opens. Kindly think this over and let me know your findings.
Very respectfully.
(Signed) CHAS. BANKS.
REDUCING REPRESENTATION
Editor of The New York Ac
of the South. You look like you are not those of your own, who are not familiar with the facts, after reading the reports of the recent reduction in the South's representation in the Republican National Convention would be led to believe that that was the first time there had been a reduction in the representation from the South. Will you kindly publish the following for their information?
The Republican National Committee in accordance with instructions from the National Convention of 1912, met in Washington, D. C., in December, 1913, and then and there made a reapportionment of delegates and in the Call for the convention of 1916, will be found the following clause: "The apportionment of delegates to the National Convention called hereby shall be adopted by National Committee in ratified by Congress December 13, 1913, ratified by Republican State Conventions which cast a majority of votes in the Electoral College."
It will be observed that the Southern States had nothing whatever to do with the ratification of the apportionment. In fact Vermont and Utah were the only States that could have ratified the apportionment as they were the only States that gave their votes in the Electoral College to the Republican ticket of 1912. As a result of the action of the National Committee there was a cut of seventy-eight delegates in the South's representation in the National Convention of 1916. There was a further reduction of seven delegates in the Convention of 1920. Counting the twenty-three delegates cut off at the recent meeting it will be seen that there has been a total reduction of one hundred and eight delegates in the representation of the eleven Southern States since 1912, being three-seventh of the apportionment (252) for those States in that year. Of the one hundred eight reduced, fifty-nine were from Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana, states in which there is a large majority of Negroes in the Republican Party.
Thus it will be seen that the Negro who has stood loyalty by the party since the suffrage was given him is being penalized by that party because he has been deprived of his rights and privy to the power. Congress, Democratic Party, other words he is being punished because of a crime committed by someone else.
If proportional representation is good for a National Convention then representation in Congress should be based upon the same principle. The Fourteenth Amendment provides for, such a contingency, and the clause for reduction of representation was expressly put into the Amendment for the purpose of meeting the condition that now exists. The Democratic Party now has a greater proportional representation in Congress than it had before the civil war. Prior to the war, in making the Congressional apportionment five slaves counted for three whites. Since the Negro has been made citizen the apportionment is based upon citizenship. In cutting down the representation from the South in the National Convention the Republican Party should be consistent, and as it is in absolute control of all the branches of the Government (Executive, Legislative and Judicial), it should enforce the Fourteenth Amendment. The Amendment gives Congress the power to enforce the appropriate legislation, the provisions of the article.

ALA. BUSINESS LEAGUE.
TO MEET AT TROY, JULY 12
Special to The New York Age)
Montgomery, Ala.—J. H. Phillips,
president of the Alabama State Negro
Business League, announced to day that
the annual meeting of the state Negro
Business League would be held
Troy, Alabama, July 12th and 13th. He
is urging every Negro business and
professional man and woman and farmer
to attend this meeting as an effective
and constructive program to
stimulate Negro business enterprises
in the State will be formulated.
The program committee has arranged an intercultural program and announces the following features: Address by Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute and president of the National Negro Business League; an interracial meeting at which members of both races of the southern Inter-racial Commission will speak; an agricultural discussion led by a prominent planter; an address by a representative of the local league of Atlanta, Ga., which will be host of the N. N. B. L. in August; and interesting quips to be announced later.
The local league of Tray doctor Dr. S. R. luisa, recording secretary of the state league, gave three simple responses.
Comment By The Age Editors On Sayings Of Other Editors
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, i speaking of the death of Frank D. Thompson, their only color in the type manicist says:
In the death of Frank D. Thompson, a limetype machinist. The Eagle loses one of its most highly respected and faithful employees. Mr. Thompson, was an honor to his race and a man of sterling character, and his sudden death was a shock to all those who knew him.
Under the heading "Quietly Married," the Cleveland Call published the following account of a wedding in that city:
Miss Q. Victoria Robinson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Robinson of 9012 Blaine avenue, was quietly married last Thursday at 2:30 P. M. at their residence in the presence of her immediate family. Rev. C. R. Jones officiating. A reception was given the bridal couple in the evening from 8 to 10 P.M. Many friends were entertained who presented the bride with a host of beautiful presents.
While it is generally conceded that the groom is a figure of minor importance on such occasions, it is usual to include his name as among those present. To exclude him from any mention at all seems to be carrying this absent treatment a trifle too far.
Segregation of prisoners in the county jail along race lines is charged by the Cleveland Gazette as the practice of the Republican Sheriff. It adds with some point:
Democratic sabriffs never did 'this'
The report also reaches us that Judge Adams of the Juvenile court has issued an order that restricts the Afro-American probation officer to the handling of cases of our people only. This course is not followed in the case of the Jewish probation officer and others. Why this discrimination, Judge? Our local racial organizations should take up these matters at once.
It would seem that some of the Republican officials in Ohio have not yet recovered from the strain of the last political campaign, in which strenuous efforts were made to make the color line the deciding issue. They should realize that it is time for a return to normalcy.
THE NEW AUTOMOBILE LAWS OF N. Y. STATE
(Special to THE NEW YORK JOURNAL)
Albany, N. Y.-Get your automobile and motorcycle registration plates, after July 1, from your county clerk. On that date, the Tax Commission will take over the state's automobile bureau from the Secretary of State's office, and each county clerk other than those in Erie and Albany counties, and Greater New York, will become a distributing center for pleasure, commercial, omnibus, trailer and motorcycle plates. Dealers will continue getting the required demonstration plates from the Buffalo, Albany and New York Offices, these three offices being retained, but under the direction of the Tax Commission.
The plan of giving out plates from county clerk's offices will not only speed up delivery but also go far in relieving the tremendous congestion which marks the rush period each year. From now on each county will be in a position to take care of its own motortrucks so far as plates are concerned

Commenting on President Harding's recent visit to Lincoln University, and his address to the students at the commencement exercises, the Philadelphia Tribune said:
The President declared that education is the real solution of the race problem. The race and its great benefactors of today and of old have long since recognized and understood that to be a fact. Might not the President on such an opportunity occasion as his visit to Lincoln have made more forcible his views and higher conception of the country's duty towards Negro education in public institutions, by a verbal instrument, removing all barriers, real and unlawfully standing between the Negro's unharmed entrance into the country's highest public institutions of learning--West Point and Annapolis.
The point is well taken. The rank injustice of excluding any element of the population from the benefits of these two institutions supported by the money of all taxpayers is one of the glaring inconsistencies of republican simplicity and of true democracy.
The Old Dominion Philosopher of the Richmond Plaget exudes the following drops of wisdom agent matrimonial musings:
There are some wives, who would be much happier, if they were alone in the world, and there are many married men, who would be lonely if they lost their "biter-halves". Then there are some other people of both sexes, who would "cut a pigeon's wing" if they could only be single again.
But he is silent as to the sentiments of those who failed to take a chance in the lottery of matrimony.
A break in the high cost of living was noted by a reporter of the Albany, Ga., Supreme Circle News, as follows:
Things are evidently coming our way. There's a slump in the prices of blackberries, one vendor offering, them on last Tuesday for six cents the quart. Now, we would hate mighty bad to have to go to the patches and pick a whole quart and come to town and retail them for six cents a quart.
True. But as we see it, six cents is as much as a newspaper man can pay for berries, and consider them a luxury at that.
Such economic scraps as to low prices are not likely to trouble berry buyers north of Georgia.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
"Goat Alley" is Dramatic Offering Worthy Its Name
(BY LESTER A. WALTON)
FOR some reason the average white playwright has a penchant for dipicting the Negro on the stage at his worst. In "Goat Alley," written by Ernest Howard Cullbertson, there has been no exception to the general rule. This latest "Negro Play," which opened Monday evening at the Bijou Theatre, is in no sense upbringing and even an X-ray examination would fail to disclose its real mission.
FOR some reason the average for dipicting the Negro on Alley," written by Ernest I. no exception to the general rule, offered Monday evening at the Biting and even an X-ray exam real mission.
"Goat Alley" is laid in Washington, D. C. but it is not necessary to take a trip to the nation's capital to get into an environment such as the piece periode. In New York on the East Side, the West Side and in other sections of the metropolis you will find "Goat Alley," populated only by white residents. An impartial analysis would disclose that "Goat Alley" should be characterized as a play dealing more with economics than with race. As the slums are very much in evidence in every city, there is very little likelihood of Mr. Collection's "Goat Alley" functioning as a magic wand and wiping out a lowly district where some colored people are unfortunate to do ill.
With the exception of Barronton Carter and Daisy Garrett, the acting in antiquish. Most of the people in the last have had little or no stage experience then they are burdened by being compelled to use the playwright's version of what is "Negro docto." A most glaring stage abundance is a colored actor heroically driving to talk as the white author thinks as absolutely necessary in order to make the character seem real, although the "Negro docto" is as foreign to the actor as Greek or the language of the Zulu. It must certain that "Goat Allen" will not be a Lancashire in Manhattan for any length of time. He will suddenly appear from our ideas before it becomes so popular a thoughtless Dewey or Sewolvie Avenue. The most certain feature of the play is that it points out it is going to be entrusted to himself for persons to write and stage a play dealing directly

"BOBBY" KEMP DEAD AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Information was received in New York Tuesday by Mrs. Mar Kemp that her husband, "Bobby" Kemp, died Monday evening at the County Hospital, Chicago, after a lingering illness. Mrs. Kemp at once wired Tom Cross to have the body shipped to New York for burial. The funeral will in all probability be held Sunday.
"Bobby" Kemp, one of the best known colored comedians, was born fifty-four years ago in Galveston, Tex. When quite young he showed a decided preference for the stage, much to the chagrin of his father, who is living and a prosperous fruit grower residing in Los Angeles, California.
"Bobby" Kemp first began to attract attention as a performer while a member of the team of Moore & Kemp With McCabe & Young's Munstrels his work stamped him as a singer and dancer of no ability. He was next seen with the Black Patt Troubadours and other road attractions.
For a number of years the deceased enjoyed success over the big time vaudeville circuits, appearing with Mar Kemp as the Kemps. At one time he fell a short engagement in vaudeville with the late Auda Overton Walker.
In the fall of 1919, the Kemps left New York to work in the samplette theatres of the West and Middle City. While playing in Kansas City, M. in January, 1920, the deceased suddenly lost his voice and became too ill to continue with the performance. He was taken to Chicago where he rested until September of that year, when the Kemps once more returned to the stage. It soon become evident however that "Boliby" Kemps's days on the stage were over for he was too ill to do his turn. Since then he has been constantly under the care of physicians.
When in his prime there was not a sweeter enor singer on the popular-stage than "Boliby" Kemp, who also was an exceptionally good buck wing dancer. The deceased is survived by a widow, father, brother and step-daughter.

The dramatic critics of the New York Herald discusses "Goat Alley" in the following strain:
"Three acts were occupied in revealing to the public the degradation of Negro life in this particular locality. Any more contemptible effort in the name of the poor old theatre which may be the target for any kind of fertility it would be difficult to conceive. All the characters were Negroes. The heroine in the first act received three loves and a fourth man who might be understood in the ethics of "Goat Alley" to stand toward her in the relation of a husband. After this amorous succession the stage manager in the cause of drama staged a scrap on which the curtain persevered fell.
"Here his observation—of course such an unreal faculty as imagination would not have been admitted in the structure of a masterpiece of realism like 'Goat Alley'—failed the author and he repeated the incidents of the first act. The same losers returned with one exception and the stage manager lacking the courage of the playwright did not dare repeat the fight. So the curtain fell without excitement. It was all unspoiled dull and monotonous. The Negro actors avoided naturalness as avidly as the author sought it. They were not afraid to be armed. Not a genuinely Negro voice was to be heard. Indeed, some of them seemed to shun any suggestion of their race in their speech. Yet they were no more hopeless in manner than Dr. Victor Robinson, who considerably prepared the spectators for the fate awaiting them by his speech."

This week William Farnum stirred the audiences at the Lincoln Theatre deeply when he appeared for the first time here in his latest William Fox production. His greatest Sacrifice based on the life tragedy of a wife who separates herself from her husband and her child in the hope of winning happiness from public applause in the opa world. As the time of this separation the husband has just begun to climb the ladder of success as a writer. The wife has a fine voice, and she leaves her home because she is fearful that domestic life will interfere with her career.
A wealthy and influential man tells her that her career means everything to her. She believes him. She achieves fame—but in the end is forced to give way to younger women. Then motherlove, which she had tried to crush, back and she seeks consolation from her husband and her daughter—only to find that what she discarded so candidly can not be grasped, even at
There are many intensely dramatic moments in this picture, moments when Mr. Farnum stirs your whole being by his fine acting. It is a picture in which there are no dull moments. It is satisfying. It should draw crowds to the Lincoln Theatre.

NEW YORK CITY
(Bv V. P. THOMAS)
New Orleans, LA.—Over six thousand, five hundred colored, people of this city attended the opening of the Crescent Stars Amusement Company's Park for colored people on Hope Street, Sunday, June 11th, the first of the land in New Orleans, owned, built, managed and operated by colored people for colored people. The park is 320 by 320 feet square, has baseball ground with grand stand and bleacher, seating capacity of 5,000, has dancing position covering 42 by 120 feet, equipped for dancing, for showing moving pictures and stage performances. The Crescent Stars Amusement Company is an incorporated stock company, capitalized for $50,000, all fully subscribed and half paid up by the fifteen directors of the company. The park is the answer to the long felt need for a fitting place of recreation for the colored people who have had no such place in the city to go to for relaxation and amusement.
The investment and the general belief that it cannot fail to be a paying one for the investors, as well as the relief the operation of the park will afford the colored people in the master of a place for recreation speak the determination of the race not to buy ships on which to move to Africa to begin life anew in a new country, but instead, like the Spartans of old, to make a way to liberty and manhood in this country where it is the best for colored Americans to strive and struggle for their place in the sun.
W. C. Marine is president of the company, F. V. Faurin, treasurer, C. C. Dejone, secretary, and the directors are Walter L. Cohen, P. H. V. Dejone, Albert Workman, A. J. Bigard, Edw. E. Woodruff, Edwin Faurin, Arnold Dufouchard, Bernard Delitn, A. P. Bedon, Walter Berniss, F. E. Jones and Joseph Elliott.
Forty thousand dollars have been spent in buying the ground and fitting the place up for its purposes and the investors all feel certain that the investment not only will be profitable in a financial way, but will be a gratifying relief to the longings of the colored people have felt for a park and pleasure ground where they can go for amusement as often as they feel like going. At the other parks of the city colored people can go but they are not allowed any decent service except when, as for instance, they rent the Fair Grounds for themselves at a big price per day or, when there are to be no games between white baseball teams at the baseball park colored leagues may rent it for theirs.
These inconveniences not to say humiliations, not to sit longer to be suffered or borne by colored people here where segregation and jim-crow laws govern. Needless to say how bitterly they hate the spirit of these laws. Their brethren of the North can not hate me it more. Thirteenth, conventions for amusements for themselves, when provided by themselves, given them the feeling of triumph, and independence. The reason they feel so hurt by segregation and jim-crow provisions in the laws is that there are many who lived here when there were no such humiliating conditions for the groom to bear and who naturally often speak of the best days of the past in contrast with conditions of present days. They pray that their experience may never fall to the lot of their brethren in the North through the selfless ambition of members of the race for positions or places in institutions created by Jews or state for colored people, or through the neglect of leaders of the race to be always on guard watching the move and tree of
[the running schemers to ease the race invisibly into conditions as they now exist in the South, like the move for instance in New York City, proposing a center of public school lecture, for colored people and being fought by Tigre Nye 'Alderman Roberts and Mr. Pikens, and others as a runm proposal.
The tabled Order of Benedict has been been enrolling new couples for matrimonial voyages from this city, not less than six well known partner from leading families here embarking in the divinely instituted voyage on the twelfth and十六teenth days of June. five of the bridges have been teachers in the public schools of the city, each a large circle of fronds. In leaving the loving patron work of the school room, they do so to open new homes, the main props of higher life and Christian civilization. The young men who offered them their names, then plans of life and pledges to protect and defend them in the new homes, stand well in this community for sobriety, industry, thrift and intelligence, and assurance is expressed by many who know the newly-wells, that the new homes opened on the dates given above will be ones the race can point to with pride. The unostentatious ceremonies employed in each case of the marriages bespoke for the contracting parties the possession on four part of a large measure of forestry, in not wasting a lot for more pome at the very beginning of their new relation, in life as many thoughtless and careless young matts often needlessly do. The sign of wisdom which they have displayed at the start inspires the confidence in their friends that their is a full measure of matrimonial love and happiness in store for the new homes.

It is said, And a danger is that its unintended elements will be transmitted in some degree to some of those living up to the audiences. Vice, nowhaving a faithful men, is soon "pitiless" them contended, when too constantly accrued. And the Negro race has no monarchy in the kind of people portrayed in *Alley*, by any means. Lead and infectious women and liberators and infectious men are common products of all races, and often is the very reason behind their told up to the race.
But the Asian race can better feed the tiring or thawing of its communities and its depravities. As a result, they are usually the weakest and the disclosures, there are not themselves. But the Negro living a hard struggle to get past from the murky mud of past conditions is no good result to be attained with a demeanation as is portrayed from Howard Culbertson in *Alley*.

oua, consciousness and unaccentuous, enamored of Sam, also learns of his release and comes to Lucy's house in search of him. She had already learned of Lucy's association with Chick, and on this visit she discovers the Baby. When Sam comes in, Lazie hegs him to come with her, offspring money and an easy life, but he spurns her, refuses to consider her offer, and orders her from the house. In revenge, Lazie informs him that Lucy has been living with Chick while Sam was in prison, and wills of the Baby. In despair, Lucy attempts to deny the charge, and tries to keep Sam from investigating. He forces his way into the bedroom and returns with the Baby in his arms. He turns a deaf ear to Lucy's pleadings and will not listen to any explanation. He casts her off in anger and leaves vowing he will never return. And so the play ends.
What moral is to be drawn or what lesson is hoped to be taught is not apparent to me. But a quotation credited to George Jean Nathan and printed at the end of the program, is rather illuminating in the inferences which it carries. It reads, "Goat Alley is probably the most acute transcription of the Negro yet made visible in our native dramatic literature."

His Overalls Saved Him
ON the narrow trestle—without time to think, or space to stand—he jumped—facing another death almost as certain as the incoming train.
But he never landed—and the train thundered by, leaving him unhurt. His overalls had caught on a projecting spike and did not tear. He drew himself back to the tracks unhurt.

St. James Presbyterian Church
St. James Presbyterian Church
The congregations at St. James Pressbyterian Church, 137th street, near-Lonox avenue were large and enthusiastic last Sunday. The pastor presided at both services. The theme of the morning sermon was "Overdoing the professional mass-meeting." Two new members joined the church at the close of the sermon. The text used at 11 o'clock was *Nehemiah* 1:11. Dr. Hyder laid down the proposition that unless mass-meetings in the interest of human rights are sabilized into *intelligent* sentiment and this sentiment made known to the federal government, nothing worth while will be accomplished.
A large number of unique programs were announced for the next two weeks in the interest of the drive. Encouraging reports were made during the day by the group leaders which showed great interest in the special work of the church.
The infant son of Samuel-Crawford and wife was baptized at the morning service.
The offering for the day was $175.30
