New York City Board Appropriates Funds For Building Armory For The Fifteenth Infantry, Harlem's Own Boys
Site Acquired, Money For Drill Shed Given
$300,000 For the First Uuit Is Appropriated by Sinking Fund Commission
The Fifteenth Regiment Armory is now an assured fact. Following closely upon orders issued by the Secretary of War making provision for federalizing of the Harlem Negro soldiers, commanded by Colonel Arthur Little, comes action by the Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners of New York City which voted unanimously to appropriate $300,000 for the erection of the drill-shed foundation of the great armory which is eventually to be completed at a cost of $1,500,000. The site, comprising part of the block from Fifth to Lenox avenues, between 142nd and 143rd streets, has already been acquired, the sum of $200,000 having been appropriated for that purpose.

There is great jubilation among the men of the regiment and this joy extends in their friends. The original Fifteenth which saw service in France under Col. William Hayward as the Sidh A. E. F., won undying fame by in achievements in the war zone, and the entire regiment was awarded the trio de guerre. The new Fifteenth, as a member of the New York Guard, under Col. Little, is now assured of permanency as a military unit and in a short while will be occupying its own permanent home.
Much credit for this record achievement belongs to the high military and civil officials of the state and city, who cooperated with the regimental officers and men in working for the army. Major Gen. John F. O'Ryan, Adjunct General Kincaid, Brig. Gen. James H. Robb and Col. Olmstead of the New York Guard have been conspicuous in their efforts to bring an end to the Army. And the same thing is true of many of the city officials, including Mayor Hylan, President of the Board of Aldermen LaGuardia, Comptroller Craig, Borough President Curtan, Alderman Chas. H. Roberts and others.
Demonstration on Sunday.
Sunday afternoon, July 10, the registrars under Col. Little, formed at its temporary headquarters, 130th street, gear Llenox avenue, and paraded to the ammy site, accompanied by a large number of interested friends and many distinguished citizens. The men were addressed by Col. Little who told of projected plans for their benefit, of which the erecting of a drill shed is only the beginning. The plans include an athletic field, with baseball grounds, running track, etc., and it is further hoped to improve the water front impinging on the property so as to provide an up-to-date beach front, with swimming and bathing facilities. Included in the armory plans are arrangements for sleeping rooms for bachelor members of the regiment, a well-equipped cafeteria, billiard room, bowling alley, and such other facilities as will add to the men's comfort and lend to perfecting their training, at the same time affording ample opportunity for recreation and relaxation. Alderman Charles H. Roberts and G. W Harris also spoke, pledging their assistance and support to the regiment. Col. Little, his officers and the enlisted men, to the end that there may be paving lacking for the watching of the highest point of efficiency and effectiveness.
On Thursday, July 27th, just six
Boston and one day from the date that
Colonel Arthur Little assumed command
of the 15th Infantry, New York
Cavalry the Board of Sinking Fund
Governors unanimously voted for
estimation of $300,000 to build the
field of the great armory for the
field that had previously been au-
tured the Armory Board and the
Estimate and Apportionment.
The achievement becomes all
when contrasted with the
efforts of the Naval Mill-
last twenty two years to
army for one month of the
expanding features of
the fact that the vote
and it is a tribute to
of Colonel Little that
reconcile the differences
in the Comptroller Craig
of the Board of Alder-
man La Guardia so that there was not a dissenting voice in the decision. And so the dream of the five years since the regiment first became a reality to Marlens is about to become an accomplished fact.
Col. Title Presented a Plan.
Colonel Little first appeared before the Armory Board at its February meeting, when he presented a concrete plan and an exact statement of the condition of the regiment at the time he asked the Board to authorize an armory. At this meeting a committee was appointed to inspect available sites and to consider plans. At the March meeting the suggestion was made that the armory be built on city owned property at 147th street and Seventh avenue, but it was found impossible to adjust the matter with the Public Service Commission to which the property halon beem allotted.
The subsequent proceedings embrace a history of repeated Board meetings, of propositions and counter propositions until eventually an appropriation was granted of $200,000 for the purchase of the necessary ground. A site was set selected and purchased by the City of New York upon which the drill shed beem built. Its property starts from 110 feet from Fifth avenue on West 142nd street and extending 300 feet towards Lenox avenue, with a depth of 200 feet to a similar frontage on West 143rd street. This will give a floor space greater than the entire ground area of the Seventh Regiment Armory.
Site for Administration Building.
The administration building will be built to the eastward of the drill shed with a front on West 143rd street, and will be a modern steel structure of such height as the requirements of the administration of the regiment and the various companies, as well as the manifold welfare activities that are planned for the 15th, may demand. The ground for the administration building is now the subject of negotiations by the city and its erection will be insured by subsequent appropriations by the Sinking Fund Commissioners. In other words, the $500,000 appropriation already passed will be used for the drill shed only, and the armory when finally completed will entail a total expenditure of $1,500,000. At the August meeting of the Armory Board architects will be asked to submit plans for the drill shed and it is expected that contracts for the construction will be let at the September meeting. No time will be lost in the matter for all the city officials are keen for the early housing of the regiment in its own home.
To Lay Cornerstone October 12.
Colonel Little is planning to lay the corner stone of the new army on Columbus Day, October 12th, with appropriate ceremonies, in which all Harlem societies will be asked to cooperate. Prominent military and official dignitaries will be honored guests on that occasion which is expected to be a red letter day in Harlem. The construction is so simple that Colonel Little expects to be able to March his regiment into its new army on February 17, 1922, just three years after the date when the 369th Infantry proudly paraded up Fifth avenue on its return from the Great War. The character of the ground is such that there will be no excavation. (Continued on Second Page.)

Hampton, Va.—Ministers, fating heartily to improve comm the success qualities of individual recent joint meetings at Hampton ed clearly the growing interest
Hampton, Va.—Ministers, farmers, and teachers co-operating heartily to improve community life as well as to develop the success qualities of individual men, women, and children. The recent joint meetings at Hampton Institute of Negro Leaders showed clearly the growing interest in community program making.
The Interdenominational Ministers Conference of Hampton Institute (Rev. M. E. Davis, Norfolk, president, and Rev. Laurence Fenninger, Hampton Institute, executive secretary) brought together 255 colored leaders from eleven States—168 from Virginia; 72 from North Carolina; 4 from Maryland; 2 each from South Carolina, Arkansas, and New Jersey; and one each from Ohio, New York, Delaware, District of Columbia, and Texas—who represented sixteen denominations, including Baptist, 154; African Methodist Episcopal, 39; Protestant Episcopal, 19; Presbyterian, 10; and Methodist Episcopal, 6.
Educational Exhibit.
For the benefit of 255 colored ministers from Virginia, North Carolina, and neighoring States, and for 115 visiting farmers, an educational exhibit of posters, containing sketches and pictures, new and updated books on church work, especially church work in rural parishes, and stereomorphic views of rural churches and rural health was placed on display in the main room of the Y. M. C. A. Methodist at Hampton Institute. This exhibition was thrown open to the public and was visited by a large number of men and women in search of knowledge and installation.
The following officers of the Ministers' Conference were elected: M. E. Davis, Norfolk, president; G. D. J. Simerson, Newport News, L. L. Downing, Roscoe, S. S. Morris, Norfolk; D. J. Lee Norfolk; J. T. Johnson, Hampton; A. A. Hector, Richmond; E. E. Ricks, Newark; K. J.; C. C. Sommerville, Portsmouth; J. S. Brown.

Oklahoma Refugees Refuse To Accept Good Paying Position
On June 4th, 1921, THE NEW YORK AGE carried a story which told of the coming to New York of three home families, their stories being illustrated by excerpts from unbearable conditions existing particularly in Oceanside, that state, their former home. In connection with the development of the Tulsa riot, the story of which appeared in the same issue, the statements of the refugees were given utmost credence.
From various sources, especially from Orlando Swain, Commissioner of Public Safety of Ocumulgee, came charges that the stories told by these Ocumulgee refugees were not based on truth... These insinuations and allegations were not considered at the time, in view of the serious nature of developments at Tulsa. The people coming from Ocumulgee, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Harris and Mr. and Mrs. Allen Gatling, were received in good faith by all elements of New York's citizenry, and aid of all sorts was extended them.
But there has come to light certain facts concerning their acts that tends to raise a doubt concerning their good faith and honesty of intention.
Through THE AGE story, the Rev. S. Douglas McDuffie, owner of a farm recently acquired just outside of Oswego, N. Y., became interested and made an offer to Charles Johnson and wife, Lizzie, that they go to this update farm and take over the management of it at $50 per month and all expenses paid, with a good, well-furnished home in which to live. The editor of The Age immediately transmitted this offer to the Johnsons and they agreed to accept, provided Mr. McDuffie furnished transportation, as they claimed to be entirely out of funds.
This was communicated to the Rev. Mr. McDuffie, at that time conducting a series of evangelistic meetings at Macon, Ga., and promptly a money order for $20 was forwarded to the Johnson people. Inquiry at railroad ticket office showed that the sum was insufficient to cover transportation charges, and a telegram to Mr. McDuffie brought by return mail a check for $10 additional, which gave a total several dollars in excess of amount actually needed. Complete arrangements were made for the farm owner's agent to meet Mr. and Mrs. Johnson at Oswego and take them to the farm, and the owners cousin, temporarily in care of the property, had been instructed by wire to make all necessary provisions for the comfort and well-being of the new farm manager and his wife.
To all of this Mr. and Mrs. Johnson gave their assent, but as they had, according to their statement, already paid their board in advance for the current week, they did not care to leave the city until Sunday night, these developments coming on Friday.
But when an AGE representative called to complete arrangements for transporting Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and their belongings to the Sunday night train, these falls had undergone a change of mind. Mrs. Johnson declared they were not going off into the country, as she had secured some day's work, and her husband could get a job, and they were intending to remain in New York.
Developments since then indicate that these people are continuing to trade upon their alleged Oklahoma sufferings and find it easier to subsist upon the charitable outspoings of the public than to apply themselves to honest hard labor. Just last week, according to information received by THE AGE, they were the beneficiaries of a benefit tendered by a race musician.
In the meantime, Rev. McDuffie has been disappointed, and the editor of THE AGE has returned to him the money order and check which he sent to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson for their railroad fare and incidental traveling expenses.
Their action in this matter gives body to the declaration made by Orlando Swain, Commissioner of Public Safety of Ocumulgee, who wrote concerning the Johnson party, that—"The refugees were formerly problems of Ocumulgee some of them having been there for the most severe years." Their

Growth of the lynching spirit is indicated by the record compiled at Tuskegee Institute by Monroe N. Work of the Department of Records and Research. The figures, sent out on July 6th by Principal R. R. Moton, show that there have been thirty-six lynchings during the first six months of 1921, twenty-four more than for the corresponding period of 1920, and seven more than for the first six months of 1919.
Mississippi leads with ten crimes, but Georgia is a close second, with nine victims of mob outrages. These do not, of course, include the men put to death on the Williams' peonage farm in Jasper county, Ga. Arkansas and Florida are credited with four each, with two each set down against North Carolina and Louisiana. The list is complete when Alabama, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee have been put in the record with one each.
Eleven were alleged to be charged with rape, and of the thirty-six, two were whites and two were women.
LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT DISAPPROVES GARVEY
With a view to learning from an official source the attitude of the Republic of Liberia towards the Marcus Garvey organizations, Bishop C. S. Smith of Detroit wrote for information to Edwin Bazclay, Secretary of State of th African republic, and in reply has received the letter reproduced below.
Right Rev. Sir:
In reply, to your letter of March 3rd, 1991, I have the honor to say that the Liberian Garvey movement, especially in its contemplated political manifestation in Africa, does not meet with the endorsement of the Liberian Government, nor is it likely that the country will be exploited by him without regard to the decision of the Liberian Government. I have the honor to be. Right Rev. C.

It has, so THE AGE is informed, been rumored that this paper was paid for publishing the article which appeared in its issue of July 24, concerning Discussions in St. Philip's. This is absolutely untrue. THE AGE is concerned only in giving the truth and has not been paid or, offered pay for publishing the facts. If evidence is secured persons making such statements will be prosecuted. If Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop will give any facts concerning St. Philip's THE AGE will willingly allow him the free use of its columns.
The parishioners of St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal Church, West 134th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, New York City, are in a turmoil of excitement following the action taken last week by the rector, the Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, in relieving the curate, the Rev. Everard W. Daniels, from all duty in connection with the parish work of the church. For several months rumors of alleged dissensions and disturbances in St. Philip's, which is said to be the wealthiest Nego congregation in the world, have been circulating through the community,
A basis for these rumors was found in the alleged action of the rector, who, it was reported, made criticisms to the bishop concerning the work being done by his young assistant, Curata Daniels. It was also alleged in this connection that Rector Bishop was desirous of having his son, the Rev. Shelton H. Bishop, now in charge of a church at Pittsburgh, come to New York and be associated with him in the work of St. Philip's parish. This desire, it was alleged, was founded on the hope that young Bishop might succeed to the rectorship of St. Philip's, thus perpetuating the Bishop dynasty.
The latest development, according to information received from absolutely reliable sources, is that Rector Bishop has taken, upon himself to relieve his curate, Mr. Daniels, of all active duty in the parish work. It is said that Mr. Daniels attended the recent N. A. A. C. P. conference held at Detroit, Mich., having been given full leave to do so by the rector. In fact, the report has it that when Mr. Daniels asked about attending the conference he was told in the most gracious manner by Dr. Bishop to take whatever time he needed or desired—in other words, to stay as long as he wanted to.
Relieves Daniels of Duty.
Mr. Daniels returned from Detroit the first of last week, it is said, and a day or two later was in receipt of a letter from Rector Bishop, sent by special delivery mail, asking for an accounting of Sunday School funds, and a return of whatever church properties might be in his possession, and closing with the statement:
"I beg to advise you that you are relieved from all duty in connection with the Parish Work."
Friends of the curate are very much wrought up over this radical action taken by the rector. Many of them are outspoken in condemnation of what they characterize as "a spiritual lynching." Mr. Daniels came to St. Philip's more than sixteen years ago, and a large proportion of the church growth within recent years is declared by his friends to be a result of his energy and faithful service. One of the prominent members of the parish, active in many of its departmental activities, has given an Age representative some figures as to the church growth during the years of Mr. Daniels's service.
The principal growth has been in the development of the church membership. From 600 it has grown to more than 3,000, and the majority of these are former residents of the West Indies who have become identified with St. Philip's largely because of the curacy of Mr. Daniels. Through Mr. Daniels' influence, it is said, the St. Philip's Sunday School has established scholarships at Hampton Institute, Virginia, for deserving pupils, $25 for last year and $50 for the next year. Scholarships were also awarded by the Sunday School to the church school in Liberia, through the late Bishop Ferguson amounting to $75 for three years, or $25 for each of three terms. Mr. Daniels was directly instrumental in raising these funds, it is said.
Was Loyal to Rector.
Discussing the late Rev. dev' opment of the rector's spiritual dimension toward be corpure, this number of St. Philip's deacons this JULY, 1981, during his devotion to the Lord, is by no means
formed, been rumored that this paper was which appeared in its issue of July 24, Philipa. This is absolutely untrue. THE king the truth and has not been paid or, if evidence is secured persons made acquainted. If Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop will Philip's THE AGE will willingly allow Philip's Protestant Episcopal Church seventh and Eighth avenues, New York settlement following the action taken Rev. Hutchens C.

Bishop, nowburgh, come to New York and be back of St. Philip's parish. This desired the hope that young Bishop might St. Philip's, thus perpetuating the
while still unfamiliar with the Americas Church's ritualistic service, the curate was called upon to shoulder the entire burden of responsibility in connection with conducting the church's affairs by reason of a serious illness which pronated the rector for several weeks. It also served as the center of record, that ten years ago the curate made a personal canvass among the parishioners and raised a purse of $600 augmented to $1,000 by the vestry, with which to defray the expenses of a trip to Europe by Dr. Bishop. It is also a matter of common report that Rector Bishop has upon numerous occasions taken pains to pay the most decided compliments to the work being done by Curate Daniels, speaking thus two various of the clergy, including the bishops.
Those familiar with affairs at St Philip's during recent years, are responsible for the assertion that there is readily growing a feeling of agenomism toward a union part of the rector. It is said that person who have gone to the church offices in the parish house trying to locate Mr Daniels, have been refused all information concerning him, even to the extent of being told that his home address was unknown.
Discourtesy to Daniela' Friends
Members of the parish, who have sought to secure the curate's services for funerals, marriages, baptisms and other offices of the church, have not been given the information sought for it is reported, in some cases receiving scant courtesy, and it is even alleged that in one case a prospective bride and groom, wanting Mr. Daniels to perform the ceremony, were charged an exorbitant sum—some $60—for all of the church for the ceremony. The couple was unable to pay such sum, another church had to be sought for.
In this connection, it is also declared that during his incumbency, Curtis Daniels was never allowed any share in the funds set aside for parish work the communion alms and other money being handed entirely by the rector. Whatever incidental expenses were attached to his parish ministrations, according to The Age informant, were out of Mr. Daniels personal salaries. This was $100 per annum when he started sixteen years ago, and was raised to $1,800 per annum only after a long period of service, and it is said that the rector was opposed even in that. It was only during the past year that the curate's salary was raised to $2,500. He was not allowed to shop in any of the fees for marriages, baptisms, etc., these being all turned over to the rector.
The relieving of Mr. Daniels from active duty in connection with the Parish Work is believed by those informed in the church's pollination is connected with the change in industry which occurred at the annual election. Two elections were held for both living-born men, and women, by the ruler, but both were unsuccessful in the election.

Vestrymen Denied Conspiracy.
The deposed vestryman, in a letter The Age, denied absolutely having taken part in any secret meeting or allowed conspiracy against the rector. But it has been alleged that the men deposed in 1921, as well as those removed in 1920, were those most in sympathy with the curate's work. It declared that the rector's open opposition to the curate has all developed since the vestry election. And it is believed that this was the meaning of the rector when he expressed gratification at the outcome of the election, another element to which attention was called by the member of the parish quoted above is that the rector was specially destroys that Mr. Daniels bring in as many of the West Indian communicants as possible, thus increasing the church's power, both numerically and financially.
But as an after development of this phase of the church growth, it is alleged that early in May of this year Dr. Bishop visited one of the old Brooklyn families which had been for years communicants of St. Philip's, but who had relaxed in support of the church during recent years, and urged upon them a renewal of interest and resumption of active work in the parish, and the strongest and most emphasized argument used was that if the old parishioners did not come back the West Indians would own church.
The matter of property ownership may have had some indirect hearing, it is thought, though nothing has come to the surface in this connection. It is reported, however, that a former parishioner now dead, who was in charge of certain of the realty properties of the church, was accused by the rector of having acquired illegal profits through graft and other unlawful practices. This agent, it is alleged, promptly entered suit against the rector for slender or libel, and it is alleged that this case was quickly settled out of court by a substantial payment of money from the rector's private nurse.
The annual financial report of the church for 1920, issued January 1st, 1921, shows a total property holdings of $11,026,885, with outstanding mortgages to the amount of $14,820,000, leaving a net equity to the church of $808,885. Total receipts for 1920 from purely church sources only amounted to $13,515,885, made up of church collections, subscriptions and sale of graves. Rentals from church properties, however amounted to $112,623.33.
The report shows that mortgages on the properties were reduced by the sum $10,000, but it also shows that during the year the church borrowed on discount notes the sum of $11,000. It also shows, for instance, that while the receipts from the West 135th street property totalled $6,805,518, the expenditures on that same property for heat, light, power, water, taxes, insurance, interest, repairs and general expenses totalled $9,699,03. Other comparative statements show about the same proportion between receipts and expenditures. The cash balance on January 1, 1920, was $2710.23 and on January 1, 1921, this balance was increased to $2,915.47, just $5.24 more. The total income, including the cash balance and the $11,000 borrowed, amounted to $19,894.81. The salary list totalled $13,689.81 while the church's general expense amounted to $1,584.29. In addition, the sector's discretionary fund of $3,894.81 the expenditure for 1920 were $1,584.29, the annual form shows $1,574.84 and the Centennial Fund. The financial statement is a plan report issued and alleged to be signed by Francis H. Carmand as clerk of the vestry and Alfred T. Robinson, treasurer, but there is no affidavit of a public certified account, certifying to the correctness of the report is not required in the affairs of corporations and religious and charitable organizations.
A member of the parish, commenting on the amount expended for salaries, stated that much unfavorable criticism has been made from time to time because of the fact that many of the employees of the church are outsiders—that is, are not communicants of St. Philip's. The criticism is directed toward the working staff, and is alleged to refer to such employees as the or-
ganist, choirmaster, rector's clerk, sexton, assistant sexton and others. SITE ACQUIRED; MONEY FOR DRILL SHED GIVEN

Ample seating arrangements will provide accommodation for many thousand people. When the plans are complete the details will be published in full. But the great fact is that the Glorious 15th Infantry has come into its own at last. It has been accepted by the Government of the United States as a regiment of the Second Line of National Defence, and the City of New York is, already building a home for Harlem's soldiers.

DEAR GIRLS:
Just week was my week to write you but, I postponed it until this week so I could tell you a little of the wonderful time we had on the Fourth of July. "Web No. 2" told you of the attack that we were planning to make on a famous castle on the Rhine (Irvington on the Hudson) Well, girls, I want to tell you that it was a success. We succeeded in overthrowing the king and took possession of the castle about 1230 p.m. and spent the entire day in celebrating our victory. We danced, went automobile riding, and took pictures of the castle and the grounds. Our family, Thirty-five strong each had an effort, which made it very pleasant. We were served with refreshments, which we did justice to. We had: He's as you insignificant short letters, dear girls, I will ask "Deb No. 6" to tell you more of the enjoyable day we spent on the Fourth
I know you will be surprised to know that a girl from bloody Mingo county, of jameson, W. Va., is really reading The Ace. And all the girls. Well I get it on time every week, and so much for promptness of reading. Well, if you all keep in touch with current friends, that I come from a county that is considered a his outlaw, but not any more than the wilds of the other states that have the most light hair and blue eyes, feel too awful to mention; have no dimples, like a brown skin with dimples, so you can see the light hair and blue eyes of the column, for most of them are brown skin. If I am welcomed I will let you come about myself and my surroundings. "THE UNKNOWN" Williamson, W. Va.

He must forgive me this time. Lovingly. "JACKIE"
Although you have not heard from me for some weeks I have been reading your enthusiasmistically. "My but our column has been so enthusiastic."

THE CONVICT SHIP AGAIN IN NEW YORK
Over by the Fort Lee Ferry at 129th street and the Hudson River is anchored the oldest and most historic vessel afloat, the old British convict ship "Success." This vessel was built in 1790 in India, and after serving as a merchant vessel until 1802 became one of the fleet of British convict ships known in those days as "Floating Helts." On board this ship are the most frenchish instruments of torture that human mind ever conceived, and in the cells of the ship are wax figures of convicts who once occupied these prison cells and underwent the many tortures of the ship.
One of the most interesting of these wax figures is that of a Negro, who spent thirty-two years of his life in prison, and who had a record of undergoing more torture and peeling more time in solitary confinement than any other prisoner. This man, William Jones, who was known as "Black Bill," was born in Cardiff in Wales. He received his first sentence of ten years for attempted arson, and after serving most of his sentence escaped and came to Melbourne. At that time the "Success" was being used as a floating jail by the Australian authorities. Jones became complicated in a hold up, and when it was known that he was an escaped convict, he was sentenced to twenty-two years on this ship.
Here "Black Bill" served no less than five years in the military confinement, and underwent all the tortures of the ship. He was branded, flogged with the cat-o-nine-tails, and given the "Coffin Bath". Yet with all this punishment he was able to survive, and after being released established himself in the cigar business on lower George Street, Sydney, where he lived for a number of years. When the "Success" was raised and placed on exhibition in Sydney, Jones—the a very old man—had the unique experience of visiting the ship and gazing upon the cell where he spent most of his time while a prisoner. When he saw the wax figure of himself, it is said that his only comment was that it was not nearly as good looking as he was when young. Such is the story that the guide will tell of the only prisoner who was able to stand the many tortures invented by Captain John Price, who was in charge of the ship.
Washington, D.C.-After a service of almost half a century in the behalf of legal education of Negro men and women, Benjamin P. Leighton, dean emeritus of the School of Law, Howard University, died on July 5th, 1921. The funeral was held in this city, Friday afternoon, with interment in Rock Creek cemetery. The University was officially represented at the funeral and at a later date appropriate action will be taken by the faculty of law.

The afternoon session was called at two o'clock. Mme. Dempsey presiding. This session was given over to hearing reports from the bring in and the discussion of pertinent topics. One being in that session and hearing the women report their work and discuss the difficult political problems could not fail to reach the conclusion that women as citizens are very much on the job of political advancement. At six o'clock the afternoon session closed and the delegates and friends were again asked to appear to the dining hall where they were served bountifully to a sumptuous dinner. No expense of time nor pain had been spared by Mrs. Amprey, chairman of the entertainment committee, to make this meal delectable and toothome to the highest degree.
The evening session beginning at nine o'clock was inspirational throughout, and each message delivered by the speakers were received with hearts anlause.
The evening speakers were Assemblyman Marguerite L. Smith, who explained efficiently the working of the legislature. She also complimented having Miss Ruth Jones as her secretary, and praised her efficiency as a secretary and that she is proud of her.

He has truly wrought wondrously, but the equally fearless president of the League has backed him in every case and this she has been doing for two years.

Since Christmas through charity, she has helped more than two hundred mothers and children who came to her for aid. All this has been done without airing to the public for aid.

Pastor Balden's sermon on Last Sunday morning was taken from 1 Timothy, verse 1 and 2. "Now the spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times our shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron." Pastor Baldin said that in "this day of intense emotionalism and excitement, race hatred and religious tantism is manifested. Hence he warned the people in the language of the text and urged them to be led by the Holy spirit into a larger and truer conception." God Rev. Hogans assisted in the services and excellent music was furnished by the choir.

GRAVE CHARGES IGNORED.
There exists considerable speculation to why the grave charges of moral perversion, published against Thomas E. Taylor, the executive secretary of the 15th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., in a local weekly paper of Hattam, have been ignored. Some five months ago, when the charges were first published, it was announced in behalf of Mr. Taylor, that he would bring an action for label to meet these charges, which action would have been justifiable, if the charges were not true.
The publisher of the paper in question was invited to appear before the central board of the Y. M. C. A., to substantiate his charges, it was announced, but he tailed to take advantage of this invitation. On the other hand, he has not made any retraction of the charges, and there does not appear to be any good reason why Mr. Taylor and his minority board should not carry out the expressed intention of proceeding against the paper for libel.
While these charges did not constitute any part of the ground on which the majority of the local board called for Mr. Taylor's resignation they have been preferred subsequent to that action, they are too grave to be ignored. It cannot be that the minority board and the director of the central board continue to insist on executive secretary against whom such charges are still preferred, on the ground that a high standard of morality is not necessary for the conduct of a branch work among Negroes.
It is notorious that Mr. Taylor has abstained. But his iniquity as a welfare worker in the community upon which he is posted, but even those who strive to uphold him should see the necessity of making some effort to secure a satisfaction of these charges that still stand on record against him.
LOCAL REPUBLICAN POLICIES.
LOCAL REPUBLICAN POLICIES.
In view of the fact that there will be a local election for mayor and other city officers in New York this fall, it will well take place if the political situation as it exists in the greater city. It cannot be denied that the advent of a new legislative administration at the State Capitol has not had the stimulating influence that was expected in city and county affairs. The ignoring of New York County in matters political by Governor Miller has created a gap between the county and state leaders that has worked to harm. Instead of the harmonic relations that should obtain between the city and state, the policy of the Governor in city matters has created antagonism that, unless smoothed out, will work to the depriment of the party in the coming city campaign.
The position taken by the Governor in the matter of local transit, by taking the matter out of the hands of the local authorities and implying that the protest on the greater city were unable to settle such questions for themselves, has really worked to the advantage of the Democratic machine. Such Republican candidates for the mayoralty as have already declared themselves in the ring, including President La Guardia of the Board of Aldermen and the perennial William M. Bennett, have made their platform one of defiance to the Governor and the assertion of local autonomy for New York City.
While the result of the investigation of city affairs by the legislative committee authorized by the legislature may change this present condition, of the net result so far has been to create sentiment favorable to the present city administration. Mayor Hyllan who was looked upon at one time as discredited for a second term mayor, jah through the mistaken policy of the Governor and update leaders received a new lease of political life and is growing in favor as a candidate for renomination.
This state of affairs is not due to any shortcomings on the part of the local Republican leaders. Rather it has been brought about by the failure to seek and adopt their views as to the proper handling of the situation. Chairman Samuel S. Koenig of the New York County Committee has accomplished wonders in building up the party in this town. He has dealt fairly and peacefully with all classes of voters comprised in the county and has won their confidence and respect by such dealing David A. Costuma, leader of the 19th Assembly District, who has come most to contract with the masses of the trained voters in the matter of patriot
tions, paying from $80 to $120 monthly. More might have been accomplished in this line, if there had been a better working agreement between the State and county leaders, but the constant friction and estrangement over matters of party policy has hampered the efforts to build up the party in this city.
If the Republicans are to enter the municipal campaign with any hope of success, there is need for a new deal on the part of the State administration. The local leaders should receive substantial support in their efforts to keep the party organization intact and in fighting trim. Despite the record vote of last fall in the Presidential campaign, which carried many State candidates along in the revulsion against the Wilson regime, the Democrats of New York City are still firmly entrenched in office. The action of Governor Miller has worked so far to strengthen rather than to weaken that position. It will require the concentrated efforts of all opposing forces to turn them out.
Whether the Republicans can get together for this purpose remains to be seen.
THE CRY OF "LILYWHITISM."
A keen observer of political events from the sidelines has discovered that the cry of "Lilywhitism" is being utilized by the clever colored politicians of the South as a stimulant to the exercise of the appointing power in the disposition of political patronage. It has been observed that most of the Negroes of the North wax indignant and throw fits of indignation every time the Southern brother yells "Lilywhite." The race press indulges in soothing editorial, denouncing the party, or the administration, for ingratitude and treachery and various other crimes committed against the race.
Various organizations view with alarm the tendencies manifested, which called forth the cry of "Lilywhitism," and everything is stopped to fly to the rescue of the State where such sacrifice of the race is threatened. In the meantime, as our cynical observer would have its believe, the brethren whose interests were repressed by the menace of "Lilywhitism," have compromised with the aggressors. A trade is arranged for a lucrative office and a surender made of the control of the state organization to those who demanded it, and the credulous Northern brethren who did the protesting are left holding hands, or whatever is left for them to hold, certainly not any office.
The observer whom we have quoted have esteemed his protest against riding the "Lilywhite" nightmare any longer. He says in the terms of the vernacular that life is too short to spend more than half of it "playing the sucker end of the game."
That the situation is as bad as this cynical observer would have us believe, we are not convinced. The cry of "Lilywhisthism" is usually justified by the causes that provoke its eruption. It is not without significance, however, that the ulinations of the vicious makers of the country are frequently allied to whishin in silence, under the working effect of an argument to an office of some kind. This does not remove the cause for complaint, however it may be, the叔称 complaint.
No amount of clinical paraphrase can positively "whiteness" in politics.
The appointment by U.S. District Attorney Hayward of James C. Thomas Jr. as an assistant on his staff marks a distinct step forward for the race in New York City. Col. Hayward is to be congratulated on making this advance possible by opening this new position in the Federal service here, while Mr. Thomas will have an opportunity to demonstrate his fitness to fill the position assigned him.

The Washington Tribune is engaged in exposing the deplorable conditions that exist in the Bureau of Engaging and other departments of the government at Washington, with special attention to cases of color discrimination. It says:
"We do not claim that the publication of these articles will save a single person from losing his position, we do claim to have exposed conditions as they are. We do claim to have shown that unfairness exists to an intolerable degree. We do know that the psychology of the situation is to thwart its execution. Foolhardy, indeed, is the foreman who, in the face of these articles and the wide publicity, would now do an injustice to even an humble employee.
"If the effect of these articles is to prevent the practice of further injustice along the lines complained of, the Tribune will have performed a public service."
The Oakland, Cal., Sunshine claims that the colored residents of West Oakland are made to bear the brunt of a situation that is not theirs in being charged with responsibility for all the lawbreaking in that section. It continues:
There is just as fine a group of our people living in West Oakland as is found in any city on earth, and West Oakland should not be looked upon and mentioned as if it were hell's bottom in New York, made up of hoodlums. We shall watch with interest what the new administration will do and what attitude it will take towards our Negro business men and women of West Oakland. Put down lawlessness, of course, Mr. Mayor, but he sure and suppress these white book-leggers of West Oakland.
Good, let the guilt be placed where it belongs. Incidentally, we might suggest that the responsibility for "Hell's Bottom" belongs to Washington. D. C. New York can only lay his claim to "Hell's Bottom."
THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1921.
AN IDEA FROM THE DARK AGES.
A recent issue of the Charlotte, (N. C.) "Observer" contained an editorial on lynching and in this editorial It expressed an idea which, to say that It belongs to the Dark Ages would be almost a libel upon that so-called benighted period in the world's history. The Charlotte "Observer" article starts out by calling attention to three lynchings within three days. One in Georgia, the next day one in South Carolina and the next day another in Mississippi. And it goes on to say that it would be no cause for surprise if the following week brought forth the news of several more lynchings. The editor of the "Observer" then expresses his amazement at lack of effective results of lynching in the following language:
"One often wonders why negroes of the type who commit such offenses do not take warning from the fate that befalls others of their race and type, and, through sheer animal fear of meeting such a fate themselves, if nothing else, refrain from following the path that so often leads to certain and speedy death. But the question arises: How many negroes of this class really know of the lynchings that have taken place? The stories are printed in the daily newspapers, it is true, and read by the more intelligent negroes, but what percentage of the negroes of the type and class usually guilty of such crimes ever read daily newspapers, or any other kind of papers? Neither they nor their associates read the papers, and it is doubtful if the average negro of the illiterate and criminally inclined class ever hears of one out of every ten lynchings that occur, even in the South. If they ever hear of them, it is fragmentary and meagre vague reports they get, passed along from mouth to mouth, as something of no special concern to them, an incident that occurred "away yonder" in another part of the world. For, be it remembered, to the ignorant and illiterate, the distance across a county is as long as the distance across a State is to the more intelligent and especially those who have travelled."
This moulder of Southern opinion then proceeds to demonstrate how the vast efforts which the South is putting forth to solve the race question through the method of lynching, may be made more effective. He feels that the steps necessary to bring about this effectiveness offers a great field of opportunity for "Dr. Moton and others who make it a business to keep tab on the lynchings that occur" and also for "the colored ministers and other leaders of the race who have an opportunity to address them." We quote below the exact language in which he unrolls his great idea.
"Here is a question that might well be investigated by Dr. Moton and others who make it a business to keep tab on the number of lynchings that occur. It would be very interesting to know just what percentage of the negroes who fall victims of mob vengeance for the usual crime have enough education to read a newspaper."
"And here is a field of opportunity for the colored minister and other leaders of the race who have an opportunity to address them—to reach the rank and file. If such leaders should, in the proper spirit, in public addresses, tell of what has lately befallen members of the race who have committed such crimes, doing it in such manner as to impress the mind of the criminally-disposed and the illiterate with a sense of danger and not in such a manner as to arouse race hatred and prejudice, would it not have a wholesome effect and really result in a decrease in the number of crimes that so often result in lynchings?"
Thus we have an influential Southern newspaper advocating, instead of the abolishing of lynching and the upholding of the law, that colored leaders make it, their business to apprise the illiterate and ignorant of their race of the number of Negroes who are being lynched from week to week, that they should make this as impressive as possible, at the same time "not in such a manner as to arouse race hatred and prejudice."
Perhaps the editor of the Charlotte "Observer" will draft the kind of speech that a colored minister might use each Sunday morning, for the purpose outlined above. Perhaps such a speech would read somewhat as follows:
"Dear brothers and sisters, this morning we are assembled to give thanks that we are alive and none of us as yet have been lynched.. We are thankful that we live in this great democracy founded on the idea that all men have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are thankful that we live in this great Christian country devoted to the idea of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. We are thankful that we live in a country whose institutions rest upon the foundation of law and order. But in the midst of all this thanksgiving, brothers and sisters, let us call your attention to the fact that week before last three of our race were lynched, that last week five of them were lynched and this week, two of them were burned alive at the stake. None of these unfortunates were given a trial in the Courts of Justice and so we are not sure that any of them were guilty of the crimes charged, but nevertheless their fates should serve as a solemn warning to us all. I mention this not to arouse race hatred and bitter feelings in your hearts, but in order that it might have a wholesome effect and so decrease the necessity of our white neighbors lynching us.
There is one great difficulty in the plan put forth by the Charlotte "Observer," and it is that Dr. Moton, colored ministers and other race leaders have very little opportunity to talk to the Negroes who really do commit atrocious crimes, but even if they did, it would not alter the fact that they have as much right to cry out against the crime of lynching as against any crime that might be committed by individual members of their race.
Let the Charlotte "Observer" get this truth in its head: When intelligent Negroes protest against lynching they are not defending rapists or any other sort of criminals. If a dozen Negroes a week, after fair and impartial trials, were convicted and executed for any crime whatsoever, there would not be heard the slightest whisper of protest from Negro leaders. All that they demand is, when a Negro is accused of crime he be given fair trial in our courts and in accordance with the law. The Charlotte "Observer," in order to make any claim to, being a civilized influence, should join in the effort to abolish lynching and uphold the law rather than any effort to make lynching itself more effective.

ne some of his excoriations:
On Sunday night the Rev. John Roacn Straton preached a widely advertized sermon denouncing the Carpentier-Dempsey fight. He said that the fight was a "moral carbuncle" and declared that it was a sin that America had relapsed into immoral paganism. He said that the nation was on the same road to destruction which was travelled by Rome and at one time in his sermon hecried out, "If America goes to hell she will exceed the speed limit while she is going."
The reports describing Dr. Straton's sermon described him as preaching with great force and fervor. His denunciations were bitter. Here are some of his excoriations:
of the crowds connected with it, before, during, and after the fight, the profound conviction has been forced home upon my mind that the whole thing proves that we have relapsed into paganism. "We are not merely on the coboggan. We have already landed. We have hit the bottom with a shud.
"We cannot escape the fell consequences of this deliberate evasion of law running up to the very top, and I for one feel that the Governor of New Jersey and other officers who, with him, winked at this known iniquity, should be impeached and removed from office upon a wave of righteous public indignation. * * * * *
"Again, this affair was incalculably harmful because it fostered and promoted a wild org of gambling. * * * * *
"That this whole thing was evil and viciously harmful is proved again by the fact that not only gambling was connected with it and flowed immediately out of it, but that other vices flourished thus in connection with it, and the atmosphere that surrounded it all was vile. Yes, it was a shameful and degrading exhibition. A thing whose sordid and ugly elements so far outweighed any little element of sport that there is no possible justification of it. * * * *"
"To sum it all up and to go back to a thought previously touched upon in brief, the whole tiring was a glorification of the principles of pagilism, which are utterly alien to Christian ideals."
There was much more of the same sort of denunciation and there is no doubt but that Dr. Straton preached an excellent sermon against the prize fight.
Without touching upon the morality or immorality involved in the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, we cannot but feel that Dr. Straton in his pertinent Southern way wasted a large amount of righteous indignation on a matter which, comparatively speaking, is of little significance.
What matters it in the United States that two well-trained and physically perfect men are willing to enter the prize ring and take a punch or two at each other for several hundred thousand dollars apiece, these two men being fairly well matched and knowing exactly what is before them, while at the same time brutal, blood-thirsty mobs engage in the sport of chasing down a terror-stricken victim and satiate their degenerate instincts by burning him alive at stake?
What has Dr. Straton to say about the mobs of thousands made up of men, women and children, who stand around and drink in such a sight, afterwards scrambling in the hot ashes for a souvenir of skull, teeth and bones?
Dr. Straton is a man, reared in the South, who knows these facts to be true. If he is not familiar with them he can get them as easily as he got the facts regarding the Dempsey-Carpentier fight.
Neither Dempsey nor Carpentier is hurt. They are both glad that they had the chance to try their physical skill against each other. So far as we know nobody who attended the fight is harmed any more than those who attend a hotly contested football game and it is a known fact that football is more fatal as a game than prize-fighting.
If Dr. Straton is really looking for an evil against which to protest which would give full play not only for his eloquence but, also for his Christianity, let him not waste his efforts on prize-fighting; let him launch out against lynching:

Several of the New York papers last week carried a cut of a rather portly lady of uncertain age literally dressed up like a horse. She had on what was described as a "zebra gown," that is, it was a costume in which the color scheme was that almost exclusively used in the uniforms of convicts. A description of her costume gave the fact that her gown was buttoned all the way down the front with black enameled buttons, twenty-five of them, each containing a blazing diamond, and that when the lady smiled she displayed a diamond filled tooth.
The lady wearing this dazzling array appeared recently at the race track in Paris. The newspapers gave her name as Mrs. Smith-Wilkinson and quoted the lady as saying that she has an annual income of $80,000,000, that she is planning a trip to the United States in her own yacht, and that she wants to purchase a Fifth Avenue residence with solid gold bath tubs.
There might be some excuse for this lady getting herself up like a circus parade and making a display of her money, but why the newspapers should thrust her vulgarity before the eyes of the public at large is hard to understand. Why should the public be interested in the silly vanities of a woman who, judging from her picture, is old enough to have better sense?
It is this same vulgar display of the idle rich that results in revolutionist, anarchists and bomb-throwers. There is one idea which the revolutionists have and the world will some day be civilized enough to put it into practice; that is, that every member of the community must during a certain period of his life be a worker; that is, engaged in some occupation which contributes to the common welfare. When that day comes there will be no vulgar displays of idle rich people and the world will wonder how such displays were ever tolerated.
CAN JOHNSON COME BACK
One of the questions that controts the sporting world is whether Jack Johnson, who was recently released from Leavenworth prison, can come back in the boxing arena. Outside of the special charge which brought about Johnson's conflict with the Federal law, his career has been checkered one, and marked by such indiscretions as detracted from whatever glory he gained by defeating Jeffries and winning the world's championship.
The case against Johnson was summed up as follows by James P. Sinnott, a wellknown sporting writer, in the New York Evening Mail:
Jack Johnson is over forty years of age now and the chances are that he cannot fight a lick. But I have no desire to see this theory of mine that the Negro is through as a boxer put to the test.
Irrespective of whether he was largely the victim of circumstances or really at fault, the fact remains that Jack Johnson managed to give boxing a black eye that it took the game nearly ten years to recover from. He had hardly cried his claim to the world's championship in 1910 by vanquishing Jim Jeffries at Rene, New, before he began to get himself in bad and discredit the sport that made him rich and prosperous. The Negro boxers should be the last to wish Johnson to return to the ring. His actions were largely responsible for the feeling against mixed bouts that still persists, and has made their living rather precarious.
Sam Langford, Harry Willa, Joe Jeannette, Sam McLey and Kid Norfolk, all good boxers of excellent personal character, can lay their failure to secure recognition as championship contenders at Jack Johnson's door. His efforts to box again as soon as he is released from jail should not prove any embarrassment among them. As a number of facts, they should re-

of pugilism. When he began to go broke and was a man without a country, he did his best to convict himself of faking and make people think he had not done his best against Jess Willard at Havana, Cuba, when he lost the heavyweight title. Without any sense of gratitude or obligation, he turned on Sam Fitzgerald, a veteran manager, who made him champion of the world and left Fitz without a pawn. He had borrowed the money to chase Tommy Burns all over the world with Johnson, and finally cornered the Canadian in Austrial, where Jack won the championship.
This is a serious indictment against Johnson's reputation as a pugilist, and the most serious feature of it was the fact that he himself furnished the evidence that led to the charge that he faked the Willard fight at Havana. In the face of such a record, it will be interesting to see how his contemporaries in the squared ring will regard his efforts to stage a comeback.
Jack Johnson at one time enjoyed a popularity not exceeded by any other individual in the country. The appearance of his automobile in the financial district was sufficient to gather a crowd that blocked the streets. He wrecked his own career by failure to steer a true course of good sportmanship.
SERKING NEW EMPLOYMENT
SEKING NEW EMPLOYMENT
Among the various methods of earning a living open to earnest applicants, the public service corporations would appear to offer the easiest opportunities, especially in the large cities, where this class of labor is continually shifting from day to day. And yet a marked feature of the labor supply of the traction companies which riddle New York City in every direction is the restriction of the employment of colored men in the positions of parters and
This sort of sentiment among the colored voters bound to elicit some response.

The physical actions which accompany many of the songs, such as clapping of hands and walking about, are attributed to the possibly influence of such Bible stories as marching around the walls of Jericho, and Miriam leading the cymbal players. It is pointed out that such stories formed a great part of the early Negro sermons and that the clapping of hands was probably an imitation of the cymbals used in religious services of Biblical days or an outgrowth of the emotional characteristics of the race. This mode of worship, however, being discouraged by the intelligent modern ministry, is rapidly dying out.
It is cited as a fact that many of the colored churches nowadays have splendid choirs, some with paid quartets, showing cultivated voices or the "full-throated trained voice" under the leadership of trained choir sisters. Calling attention to the correct "placing" at Negro voices, Mr. White pays a deserved and timely compliment to the work of Mme. Hackley in the followinig paragraph:
"It is to be noted that the Negro voice is in many instances correctly 'placed' in both speaking and singing. This fact is easily recognized by musicians who have heard it large choruses of the "Folk Song Festivals" held in different parts of the United States under the direction of Mme. E. Aralia Hackley, a well-known singer who was for a considerable period a pupil of Jean de Reske in Paris. Madame Hackley has practically given up her career as a colour to devote her time and energies to keep alive a fine folk-songs among her people."
Then follows an analysis of the construction of the Negro folk song showing that the musical form is complete, each musical idea having the proper number of measures, cording to the rules of musical form. The fact shows primarily the Negro's fine sense of rhythm. This point is usually overlooked in discussing these folk-songs and since strong rhythms seem to be characteristic of Negro music it is well to study this feature closely. Mr. White quotes from a number of the "permutals" illustrating various characteristics, i.e., sense of rhythm developed through poetic techniques, interpretation of Bible stories and allegories, power of imagination, and musical values.
He writes: "I have quoted at length to show how completely the spiritual tells the Bible story and to show what a deeply religious nature the slave must have had to put together such a strong and soul-stirring story in verse. Of course one would not expect to find wonderful poets among an illiterate people, but it is doubtful if there is a parallel in all history where a slave people who were unable to read or write came so near to expressing thoughts and impressions in a more poetic manner. So we may reasonably conclude from a study of the folk-songs along this line that, to-

gather with a strong sense of melody and rhythm, the slave had a poetic sense quite worthy of notice, and with the proper means at hand to cultivate this side of his nature, America, and more especially the Negro race, could have offered to the world many poetic gems of equal worth with the spirituals."
THE N. A. of N. M. MEETING
I am in receipt of an invitation, sensibly from the Secretary of the National Association of Negro Musicians, to be present at the annual convention of that organization, to be held at Nashville, Tenn., July 26-28, and discuss "The value of the Music Column in Negro newspapers." I used the word "ostensibly" above, because while the invitation is on the official stationery of the association, and comes from the office of the secretary at Uniskew Institute, it happens not to be signed. I am sorry it will hardly be possible for me to be present in person, but I have written Miss Simmons, the secretary, to the effect that if possible, within the limited time, a thesis will be forwarded her which can be presented or not presented to the body as she sees fit, and used as the basis of whatever discussion the members are inclined to indulge in.
MUSIC NOTES
The Oakland (Calif.) Sunning of July 2nd has the following item on its front page:
Mme. Hackley Found Unconscious.
"Mme. Hackley was found unconscious in her apartments in San Diego last week. Mrs. Hackley was suffering from a nervous breakdown, having worked very hard in her efforts to put on a song festival. The Sunshine and her many friends wish her a speedy recovery."
This information will bring regret to many readers of The Age. Mme Hackley is an outstanding figure in the race's musical development, and the value of her work among the masses of the people cannot be computed. It is sincerely to be hoped that her misposition will be temporary in its duration and that even now she may be well on the way to complete restoration of vigor and strength.
The 1921 session of the National Association of Negro Musicians will be held in Nashville, Tenn. July 26, 27 and 28. H. P. B. Johnson of that city is chairman of the local committee of arrangements, and he announces that the sessions will be held at the Mr. Olive Baptist Church, Fisk and Walden Universities. Mr. Johnson has arranged an unusual feature for the week the Negro musicians are in Nashville. Every music store in the city has promised to feature specially that week the compositions written by Negroes, and the schools, churches and other organizations using music have been requested to program the work of Negro musicians. Ample arrangements have been made for the disciples of Orpheus, both in private homes and on the school campuses. Mr. Johnson's address is 523 Second avenue, North Nashville, Tenn. and he will be glad to make arrangements for those who notify him of their intention to be in attendance upon the Association's meetings.
Miss Anne Reeve: of Newark, N. J., a young pianist, is reported to have been asked by Joseph H. Douglas, the well-known violinist of Washington, (a grandson of the late Frederick Douglass) to join the orchestra of the Republic Theatre, a new amusement house recently opened in the National Capital. Mr. Douglass is director of the orchestra and plans to make it a developer and efficient organization Through work in Newark some time back he became aware of Miss Reeves' ability and proficiency and now he wants her assistance in making the Republic Theatre orchestra a fine musical body.
Information from Morristown, N.J. is to the effect that Helen Hagan planite will appear in recital at Neddian Hall, New York City, on Morristown evening, October 10th. This is an interesting list of news and should be kept in mind by her admirers. In private life Miss Hagan is the wife of Dr. John Taylor Williams of Morristown, and it is of considerable moment that she is to continue her artistic career.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—When Booker T. Washington founded Tuskegee Institute in 1881, here in the heart of the South, he had in mind the fundamental need of this section of the country. He realized the importance of farming and the dependence of all peoples everywhere upon the products of the soil. He emphasized the great need of putting brains in farming and in farm lite. He established at Tuskegee along with other industries, a School of Agriculture and thereby made it possible for men and women to acquire a workable knowledge of science and art of good farming. Following out this idea of its founder, Tuskegee Institute, under its present head, Robert K. Moton, has striven to enlarge and enrich its agricultural plant in order that Tuskegee, through its Department of Agriculture, might better serve the needs of the Negev region and the Nation.
We have just witnessed the completion of a thoroughly modern, brick dairy barn with a capacity or nearly one hundred cows; a horse barn that will provide shelter for eighty horses; and a veterinary hospital where animals belonging to the school and the community are treated. Other improvements, such as modern poultry houses, new hog houses, agriculture all forcultural buildings are being made. The agricultural faculty is made up of men and women who have had superior training. They are in practical farming and in technical or scientific research, in the best agricultural colleges in America.
Secondary and Advanced Courses
Taukegue provides a four-year course in secondary agriculture and an advanced course of four years above the secondary or high school course. The boys and girls are taken into the agricultural laboratories and there taught the fundamental laws underlying plant and animal production; from here they are taken to the outside and practical application of laws of plant and animal life is made. When a student has completed the course in agriculture, he has done practical work for at least six months in the truck garden, swine herd, horse barn, dairy barn and creamery, veterinary hospital, poultry plant and farm crops divisions, and he has thus been made to feel confident of his ability, because he has done the job of good farming; and the school does not hesitate to recommend him as a practical farm, farm manager, farm demonstration agent, or as a teacher of agriculture.
By enriching and enlarging her course in agriculture, Tukegee offers to open and women who have finished high school and college work, an excellent opportunity to gain scientific knowledge about the things worth while at a reasonable cost. Our agricultural chemistry, farm-crops, agronomy, entomology, botany and soils laboratories are being fitted up in order that we might provide for this increasingly large number of students in agriculture.

Call for Rural Leaders
Never before in the history of the world, was there a more imperative demand for leadership in rural life. There is a cry for progressive leadership in production in order that men may be able to dig out of the soil the things necessary for the subsistence of themselves and their fellow workers in urban centers. There is a cry for leadership in other rural problems, such as marketing, so that the farmer will be able to obtain a fair share of the market price of his products, improvement of communications—good roads—so that there be no handicap so that the betterment of rural life be redirection of the rural school and church so that they will become live centers around which may be built, permanent happy and contented community life.
The increasing demand for men to become demonstration agents, vocational teachers, farm managers and practical farmers is being amply provided for at Tuskegee. Young men and women who look forward to a life filled with the big things, that come only to men and women who serve in a big way, should write the director of agriculture at Tuskegee Institute, Ala.

From keel to topmast she cries aloud the greatest lesson the world has ever known in the history of human progress.
THE OPINION OF THE PRESS
On May 5, 1912, the distinguished editor of the New York American, in a full page editorial, which was reproduced in ten other leading daily papers throughout the state, devoted his brilliant pen to a picture of the Convict Ship "Nunsee" as a vivid and striking lesson in the progress of humanity and civilization. Describing the Convict Ship as a sad but valuable lesson to the people of America, he wrote:
"When you study these scenes of cruelty and atrocities torture, when you realize they have disappeared forever from this earth, except in isolated savage corners of the world, where men resort to animalism, and when you realize that the crimes of cruelty, brutal as they are, were as nothing compared with what preceded them, you realize that this world 1901 is advance.
* * * It shows what government did to the poor, the ignorant, the helpers.
* * * We can thank God that the Convict Ship, with the men tortured and bitten, is today an exhibition intended to educate and no longer a direful reality, planned to punish and brutalize.
DR FRANK CRANE, the brilliant editorial writer of THE NEW YORK GLOBLE, in a leading article in that paper, dated May 5, 1913, said.
* * * Here you see punishment raised to its highest power. The record of the cruelties here practiced by the English people is so frightful that no one can be blamed for not believing it, the truth is more incredible than the wildest fiction. It is impossible to believe the story, yet it is perfectly authentic.
"Out of the past this ghost ship calls to us. Its solid oak we can touch. Its rusty iron manacles are all too tangible. Its hideous cells our feet may explore. Its appalling record, books and documents we can see with our own eyes."
NEW YORK EVENING SUN, April 23, 1912—"One of the strangest ships in the world, a strange ship because it is hard to realize that the humanity of which she is a floating reminder, could exist under the rule of any nation calling it self civilized."
BOSTON TRAVELER, June 16, 1912—"The Success to-day is as the bulks they (John Boyle O'Reilly and James Jeffrey Roche) pictured; the same in her barred cells, the same in her goblet-halter, the same in all ways except that the prisoners are not inside her to clutch the gratings which close her hatchway and cry out to the square patch of sky above them."
LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL, August 12, 1917—"It is indeed fortunate for mankind that the 'Success' is still alloy and available to public inspection. No museum in the world contains the same relias as may he seen in the 'Success'. Around the high bulwarks are suspended all the agencies of tortures human minds could invent more than a century ago. * * * An inspection of the 'Success' is not amusing, it is not terrorizing. It does impress you; never can you forget it. It is an education in history, in the development of humanity."
BOSTON TRANSCRIPT, October 26, 1912.—"Let us send this convict hulk, this eminent relicue to penal systems, around the world. She is a floating parable of the crimes of man against man. And when she has finished her mission in search out the deepest soundings in the Pacific and there sink her and the thing she signifies in a thousand fathoms of dishonored oblivion."
On June 10, 1913, an article appeared in THE NEW YORK EVENING JOURNAL, written by DR. C. H. PARKHURST, as follows: "The story gathered from official sources of what was suffered on the passage and subsequent arrival at the penal colony is blood curdling and lies as a heavy blot on English history. Much as we may exert English character in general, the English Government has shown itself capable of atrocities that will cling for centuries to the record of British administration. A visit to the 'Success' is not an amusement, but an education. The ship itself has more history than can be crowded into any book."
The Convict Ship "Success" is the Greatest and Most Extraordinary Exhibition That Ever Visited America. It is a Theme for the Pen of a Dante. When You Walk Her Decks, Grooved with the Chains of Her Miserable Victims, the Past Will Speak to You Its Sad and Moorful Lesson; but You Will Leave Feeling Better Because You Live in a Better Age.
The Convict Ship is lighted throughout with electricity so that her manifold wonders can be comfortably inspected by night as well as by day. A corps of high-class guides and lecturers are always on duty, to conduct visitors over her three decks brimful of historic and educational interest.

AT LINCOLN THEATRE
A live home is the centre of the fraternized gaze of more than five hundred resellers, one of the sons in Mack Sennett's revival comedy drama "A Small Town Idol" which is released by Associated Productions and how being shown at the Laughish Theatre and the larger show in Leeds to Frettie Marie Prescot. The scores in which the drama and significant Sennett beauty appears with one jungle beast in the climax of a spectacle introduced into the story of "A Small Town Idol" wherein it is shown how Ben Turpin ostracated from his home town seeks work in a big city. He finds employment at a big motion picture studio which just at that time is engaged in making an enormous production. One of the keys of this production shows a vast arena wherein Roman reels are displayed. The episode of the james and Marie is a part of these reels.
Therein were many rehearsals between the trainer of the lioness, the Jungle Majesty herself, Marie Preston and -Mack Sennett. The latter, during the entire preliminary work-out period with Mme Lioness, was as close to the beast as Marie, and prior to the staging of the promenade Mr. Sennett wade the round trip with the animal and walked at Marie's side when she held the leash.
When the trainer of the lioness announced that it was safe to proceed, the cameras began to check and the march began.
Marie said afterwards that at no time did she have the highest fear. She knew that the lioness knew that she was unafraid and on this basis she proceeded calmly through the scene. Mack Sennett said that he was reminded by Marie's remark of Mark Twain's comment on barking dogs—Everbody knows that a barking dog doesn't bite. You know it and I know; latt does the dog know it?

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1921.
Jack Johnson Should Not Return To The Fight Ring
(By W. R. CLARK)
One of the first announcements made by Jack Johnson upon his release from the Federal prison was that he intended to return to the ring and fight Jack Dempsey for the championship. For several reasons we think that Jack Johnson should not return to the ring, and would do well to consider some of the other offers that are now being made to him.
In the first place, Johnson gives his age as 43—he is probably older than that—and cannot hope to win many more ring battles. Then, too, Jack Dempsey and practically all the other white heavyweights, have announced that they will not fight Johnson, and by his return to the ring he would only lessen the chance of Harry Wills and other colored boxers to secure matches with these desirable opponents. In fact, it is likely that Johnson's return will have the effect of barring other colored boxers, along with himself from championship bouts.
Another reason Johnson should not return to the ring is that he cannot retrieve his fortune or add any more fame to his name. For fifteen years the name of Jack Johnson has been more advertised than that of any other colored American. Few public men, white or black, are better known than Jatk Johnson. During this time he has also won a neat fortune in the ring, but so far as boxing is concerned Johnson is now a "has been," and it is foolish for him or his friends to talk of Jack's regaining the championship.
Many experts claim that Johnson has not been a credit to boxing. Perhaps he has not, but is is known that, there has been no other fighter whose enemies have tried so hard to get something on him, or who has been the victim of so much prejudice as has Johnson. Whatever his faults may be, he is one of the greatest fighters this country ever produced, and in time his rightful place in the history of pugilism in this country will be accorded him. But he has had his day, and should now stand aside for Wills and the other rising colored fighters.
JOHNSON AND WILLS NOT
MATCHED FOR A FIGHT
Jack Johnson and the manager of Harry Wills both deny reports that these fighters have been matched to meet each other. In his first statement one after being released from prison, Johnson said he had made no contracts to fight anyone, and would not do so until he arrived in New York. Fudd Mullins, manager for Harry Wills, also states that the statements given out about a match between Wills and Johnson was all talk. In the meantime, the Boxing Commission of New Jersey has given out the statement that Johnson will not be allowed to fight in that state, and many fight promoters have stated that they will not match Johnson tonight anyone.
FIFTEENTH REGIMENT BOOTS
After two postponements the athletic officer of the Fittenth Regiment, Lt. Chas. O. Steadman, with the well-known reference, Billy Roche, staged an all-star card of professional bouts at the armory of the Fittenth Regiment on Thursday evening, July 11th. The principal bout of the evening was between Jackie Moore and Jack Malloy of the Ninth Court Defense. The terminals were between both Dale and Bacon. There were also three preliminary bouts of four round each. Jack Shipp Jr. and Billy Roche were the referee.
But the next work will carry a full course of the tournament.

Political and Intellectual Cowardice of White Leaders
The correspondence given below was published in a recent issue of the New York Globe and Commercial Advertiser. Grosvenor Clarkson, director of the United States Council of National Defense, is a son of the late Gen. John S. Clarkson, a hero of the civil war, and Postmaster General during President Harrison's Administration. The correspondence, indicted the Spring and Summer of 1919, between Mr. Clarkson and Newton D. Baker, chairman of the Council of National Defense, and at that time Secretary of War in President Wilson's Cabinet, is of timely interest at this time because of the recent Tulsa riot, with its attendant scenes of arson and murder.
While serving as Secretary of War, Mr. Baker was consistent in his friendly disposition in matters affecting the Negro's welfare, and it was largely due to his influence that the race was accorded recognition in this country and in France during the World War.
The correspondence is as follows:
An Interesting Bit of History Revealed by Grosvenor Clarkson of the Council of National Defense—Letters to Baker and Replies.
Editor, Globe—In connection with the race riots at Tulsa, and as bearing even more nearly upon the destiny of the American Negro, I send you with this copies of letters that passed between Secretary of War Baker, as chairman of the United States Council of National Defense, and myself as director of that body, in March and July, 1919. Since these Letters were official and in no sense personal, I do not hesitate to quote them, and am sure that Mr. Baker will not object to my doing.
Of course the pertinence of the cooperation is that it points the way to constructive measures in the Negro's interest. It is true that the Council of National Defense—which nine months before we went to war was created as a peace-time body to study industrial preparedness, and which became a war arsenal, only through irresistible cross-curiosity—has, with the present revision to our continued and sentimental position, been allowed to die. It would be possible, however, given the desire to organize in any one of several places under the government a committee such as I suggest.
It makes very little difference what kind of federal cooperation with the Negro is established. The first need is to do away with the cowardice, political and intellectual, shared by both great parties that is the chief barrier to his qualifying for the duties of a citizenship rightly his.
He cannot be expected much longer to tread a path path unless he is inside to treat that he is part of a common country part of a common government a conception denied to him atttails an effect on at least a dozen states, denied to him by the government at Washington. In the case of the New York and the apathetic of what a country may promise but does not give. It is therefore I confess when proclaim to the world the philosophy that we want into the war merely to save our own life, we must turn our back on what we left in it to wake us up as lieutenants in our own army with courage and little humility. It is not merely a common belief that we have to suffer here at home. We are his way of ignoring a human problem that may become terrible in our complacency. GEOGENEER CLARKSON. Washington D. C. June 21, 1921.
(Enclosure)
March 11, 1918
Mr. Dear Mr. Securist. It is true to state that the American Negro has been beaten by both of the great political parties, but in effect it is true. I believe that the twelve million black people of this country deserve more of a voice in the government than they have had, and in my judgment the Council of National Defense is the proper place to give these people the national focusing point to which they are entitled. I do not have to recall to you he peculiar philosophy which time has proved to be the underlying significance of the Council of Defense, but here I believe as an opportunity to translate that philosophy anew in the most practical sentiment fashion. Always it has been the history of the black people at their advancement has been retarded by dissension among themselves. I can conceive of no better way in which to harmonize the internal differences of the race than by bringing its discordant elements together into a permanent committee under the council—a committee to be composed of course, entirely of Negroes.
Somewhat concretely to this end I enclose for your consideration copy of a memorandum which Emmett Scott, Institution, has prepared at my request.
other has prepared at the request.
There comes to my mind a sentence that my father, the late James S. Clarkson, once wrote to a Negro friend: The prayer of the smallest child kneeling on the floor of a Negro cabin in the lowest part of the south is stronger in the eyes of an answering God than any political party can be." I feel further that the black race in this country has shown the white race more patience than the white race has shown the black race. It is time that we take a step forward in this matter and I believe that the suggestion which I have made furnishes the opportunity. The council is charged under the act creating it with "the creation of relations which will render possible in time of need the immediate concentration and utilization of the resources of the nation." Here is a task made to our land, one in which tangible friftage can be made to parallel a mobility of purpose which no private interest or party faction could dare question

Ms. Dear Mr. Clarkson...I am returning these papers to you with the request that you bring them to my attention as soon as I get back from Europe, at which time I think we ought to undertake actively the reorganization of the Council of National Defense and the Advisory Commission
I am in entire sympathy with your suggestion herewith, with the possible exception that I would like to think a little more fully as to whether the committee ought to be composed entirely of Negroes. There are men in this country, like George Foster Peabody, Julius Rosenwald, and two or three others, whose association with movements for the betterment of conditions among the Negro race is life-long and genuine. It seems to me entirely possible that the committee which we form might have at least one such white man upon it, or perhaps two, with the majority of Negroes.
The whole question, however, is one which ought to be considered by the Council of National Defense as a body and not determined by me as chairman and I think it would be a mistake to undertake the appointment of such a committee now, with the commission and the council itself in such a quiet state. It would be very much better to have the peacetime reorganization effected, and then have this important committee appointed, perhaps in conjunction with other committees representing other problems in American life, none of which may be so large or acute, but still of enough importance to motivate continuous and separate treat-

Negro Trouble in Washington
Mr. Dear Mr. Secretariat —The presi- ture trouble betweenshire, and Negroes in Washington is of course, a disgrace to the city. But it goes far beyond that. No one will seek to condone lawlessness on the part of the Negro any more than one will seek to condone lawlessness on the part of the white man, but what are the 12,000,000 black people of the country going to think when they are members of their race pulled from street cars upon suspicion and beaten up at the national capital? It is a grave business in these changing times. There is no greater danger to the republic just now than self-announced

being unprotected from any armed force or from any designing individuals. They had no malice, no pent up anguish in their hearts; no design upon any section of Tulsa for themselves, which we must meet unless the whites, the business men of the Real Estate Exchange and the Chamber of Commerce, who wanted the Negro business suction of Tulsa for an industrial district and a union depot, which had been long in their minds and that section had been long coveted by white Tulsa. Long before this wholesale burning and burning of Negroes, they had selected this in this Negro section for this union depot. The Negro had no such motive.
On the night of the 31st day of May, 1921, at 10 o'clock, not a Negro was around the jail or in the white section of Tulsa, save and except such as were sentenced to ten years in the serving as such. The sheriff's an officer sufficient time to have had ten thousand deputies, and the city police and fire department had more than one hundred men that could have been easily augmented ten thousand men and could have quelled the mob of whites that had gathered early in the evening at the jail.
Police Issue Arms to Whites
But instead the police department was indiscriminately giving out guns and ammunition to young white boys from twelve years and up, and to men whom they did not know, and the chief of police afterwards issued a statement through the daily World asking these persons to return the guns.
On the evening of the first day of June 1898 four and five blacks, as the result of the night's debriefing, the air planes circled over the Negro section dropping some sort of fury liquid upon the houses of the Negro section. The Friisco railroad tracks running east and west, separated the Newro and the white sections. From Boston avenue to the east, large numbers of armed white men and boys rushed across the tracks firing their guns and burning property north of the Friisco railroad. The residents who were not killed, men, women and children of Canton Hall, a place previously prepared for them, and to the baseball park and to the fair grounds, which was under the control of the city, the mayor and the city commissioner.
These blacks were gathered up and sent to these places by these men who were acting under the authority of the City of Tulsa, through the mayor and City Commissioners, and these same fellows, after they had sent the Negroes to the valleys and stations, leaked the houses of the valleys, such as they wanted, and then set fire to the buildings that had not been set on fire by the air planes.
During this burning the fire department remained inactive and made no attempt to extinguish the flames. The city authorities held these people as prisoners so that they could not protect their homes. They also alleged the meritorious in their work of destruction of the Negroes' property and their lives.
Act to Siexe Real Estate.
After the burning of the buildings and the release of many of the people so confined from these detention stations, the mayor and the City Commissioners made haste to meet and pass an ordinance, placing all of the burned area in the fire district and proclaiming that these people who had been burned out should not rebuild their homes upon their own loss, announcing that the same had been taken for an industrial district. And this same Tulka Teburah had its arms upon the burned area informing the property owners to get ready and move out further as that section had been taken as an industrial district and that it would be better for them as they would not be allowed to rebuild there. The mayor then appointed a Welfare Board, and after announcing that the

Negro was in fault and had caused the riots applauded the white men and boys who had taken part in the mob that burned Negro houses and killed innocent men, women and children, and directed their names be placed in the roll of honor, archives and kept as herbert marshal to impel the actions of this Magic City's future citizenship.
The Reconstruction Committee:—But that committee, headed by Judge L. J. Martixt, was not to the liking of the boy and the City Commissioners, and the boy and the City Commissioners appointed another commissioner by S. R. Lewis and Tate Brady, together with a lot of other teal estate men and brokers, to barter away the homes of the innocent black people in a speculative scheme to enrich themselves at their expense. The mayor and commissioners passed an ordinance to add this plan, the Negroes under the guide of law while this committee skins and further robs them of all they have left, their lots.
No Friends to Negro.
The mayor calls this committee the friends of the Negroes who had been buried out, but the Negroes would have the world to know that they do not regard them as their friends, but like the mayor, T. D. Evans of Tulsa; Oklahoma, as their worst enemies, and they would be glad if the civilized world would visit these aces and do what they can to remove the cruel hands' of these men from around the seeks of these forcible people and let them and their proxies alone. These people cannot accept the men as their friends, for they are self-appointed and acting without their consent and against their will.

VILE SPECULATION and speculators, on land drenched with innocent blood of helpless black men, women and children,—upon their blood stained lands—to erect an industrial district and institute a school, where Tulsa citizens have killed innocent men, women and children, burned their homes, their furniture and pillaged, plundered and robbed them of all their valuables and money, and left them without shelter, homeless. Then placed over the freedom of the streets unless they were a man and they could only receive a tag after they had been vouch for by a white person, even by some or any of those who had shot and killed their relatives and burned their homes—white people who had lodged the homes of these black men, women and children in possession the stolen property of these black people.
Want Site for a Depot.
Further, they want to build a union depot on these loses where Tulsa citizens, white, had killed, burned, plundered, robbed, deprived and driven out the owners. Through this gateway to the Southwest, the Magic City, Tulsa, proposes to invite men, women and people from every land and country to come to Tulsa and to the state of Oklahoma, sea, to stand up and view the city from a different perspective charged to a civilized people. Tulsa citizens now propose to invite the travelling public to the scene of their crime and infamy.
Where and who are the good citizens that will use their best efforts to thwart this vile plan to further rob this people? Are they in Tulsa? We believe they have a governor who has a conscience and our distress we call upon him to say to this mayor of Tulsa and this reconstruction committee to step and go no further; and to the good citizens of Tulsa, reimbursement is in order and the citizens who desire, after such murdering and robbing, to take the loss of these black people without their consent; Or who will sit ill by and allow a committee of real estate speculators, under the guidance of a Welfare board, aided by the acts of former commissioners, by their acts to forever blacken and reard the future of Tulsa.
A Confiscatory Ordinance.
Before the fires had ceased to burn the fires set by unarmed police and authorized officials—the mayor and City Commissioners had assembled and passed an ordinance putting the burned area in the fire limits and ordering the people so outraged to move further back and buy lots and build. While our citizens had put all in their pockets by the time people had that had not been hurled up. The mayor and this committee have proclaimed to the world that they want outside help, and have refused outside help, declaring that they are able

C.; vice presidents; Laurence' Feminger, Hampton Institute, executive secretary; Thomas J. Bolling, Hampton Institute, assistant executive secretary; and J. W. Leson, Ark, Va., recording secretary. The conference also elected about forty of its members to serve on the executive board, which represents a dozen or more denominations.
Teaching and Inspiring People.
"Hampton Institute would be dure- dict in its duty," said Dr. James E. Gregg at the closing session of the Ministers' Conference. "If it did not keep in mind the fact that teaching and preaching are professions which are closely allied. The teacher should be the shepherd of souls; the preacher must think of his hearers as those whom he is to instruct as he viscount Viscount Bayre's statement: "Modern Democracies that there was only one workable democratic government one hundred years ago; namely, the United States. Today China, Russia, Germany, Austria, and other countries are embarking on the experiment of democracy. "Democracy is going on," said Dr. Gregg. "There will be more democracy in the world rather than less democracy. In a Christian democracy no system is system to persec. Christianity and democracy can be trusted to abolish racial prejudice, enmity atrife and hatred."
Archdeacon James S. Russell, founder and principal of St. Paul School at Lawrenceville, Va., delivered four addresses—"Work of the Christian Ministry," "Family Life and the Church," "The Keeping of the Church," and "The Open Door to Society." He was pastor of the First Christian Church, Youngstown, O. gave four lectures on "The Church and its Organization." Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church, New York, spoke on "The Case against the Church," "The Church and its Young People," The Institutional Church, and "Financing the Church." Rev. Herman N. Morse of New York author of "Our New York Wife who is the director of the Publicity of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, spoke on "The Opportunity and Task of the Country Church," "The Country Church and Community Welfare," and "Program of the Country Church; and Method." Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom of Oceanport, N. J., editor of the A Journal of Essentials of Effective Preachin' "What to Preach." The Preacher in His Study, and "The Preacher in His Pulpit." The conference sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. J. H. Ashy, pastor of The Shiloh Baptist Church, Norfolk.
Victory Through Co-Operation
That ministers and teachers should co-operate in helping people fight the battle of life with equal weapons and with Christian education was the opinion expressed by Dr. Ransom in his address on "The Teacher as Priest," delivered in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, and meeting teachers and ministers, Dr. Ransome referred to the need of equipping all children for American citizenship by the adequate financial support of public and private schools and the response which people from the cotton fields and mines are making to the call for money which will be used for education. He stafed that America can be made to be a group which group is handicapped by ignorance. The colored teacher everywhere should equip herself as to supplement the teaching of history. Each teacher should specialize on the teaching of Negro history so that the coming generation of Negroes may hold up its head in the United States. Somebody must take out for extenuating educational ability. The preacher and teacher must clasp hands anew in answering the high calling of God."
Hampton instructors gave for the benefit of ministers and farmers practical demonstrations in culling heats for egg production, controlling poultry diseases, installing a simple water-supply system, and planning year-round vegetable gardens.
Bethany Baptist Church, Brooklyn
On Tuesday evening, July 5th, the ceremony of ordinary daemones took place. The three daemones were taken two from Bethany and one from Bethel. Rev. Geo. Sims, president of the New York Colored Baptists State Convention and pastor of the Union Baptist Church delivered the ordination sermon and took for his text, "The Social Task of the Church." Revelation 21:1-14. The charge was delivered by Rev. A. C. Matthews and Rev. K. L. Warren; pastor, acted as master of ceremonies.
The clergy present were the Rev. Gee Abbott, I. W. Bright, Carnegie and Timothy. There were also visiting dreasons from the various churches.
WHENA FARMERS
MARKING PROGRESS
By Wm. Anthony Ayr.
Hampton, Va.—That Negro farmers of Virginia, who are producing more and better crops every year, under the leadership of twenty-odd, Negro farm demonstration agents, are cooperating heartily and successfully with white farmers to improve the marketing of farm products, including peanuts and tobacco, and thereby increase their annual income, so that the rural population can afford to spend more money for the improvement of homes, schools, eligible needs, and other modern community need, so that clearly shown at the recent three-day Hampton Institute Farmers' Conference.
Some 115 Negro farmers, including seventy five intelligent, upstanding representatives of community and county organizations, which aim to improve rural life and make it more satisfying, demonstrate agents, four district agents, one special agent, and seven industrial supervising teachers, gathered for definite instructions through technical lectures, joint-meetings with teachers and ministers, inspection of Hampton Institute farm and industrial reports from county agents and successful farmers, and demonstrations.
The program, which was arranged by Warren K. Blodgett, director of the Hampton Institute Agricultural School, follows: "Opportunity Welfare," and "Program of the Country Church," Rev. Hermann N. Morse, New York, "How Farmers Can Improve Their Soil"; "Making the Soil Turn Out the Cash," favor Tippin, audio, national New York; "Program of National Lime Association, Washington, D. C." "Plant Disases, high Reduce Farm Profit," Dr. T. W Turner, Howard University, Washington, D. C.; "Cooperative Marketing," John R. Hutchison, director Virginia Extension Service, Blacksburg, Va.; "The Farmer's Wife and Her Problems," Miss Carrie Alberti Kyford, director Hampton Institute Home-Economics School; "The Farmer and His Problems, John B. Hutchison," director Agriculture Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, and Julian E. Bagley, Hampton Institute, district agent; and "A Satisfying Country Life," Dr. Kenyon L. Butterfield, president Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amhurst.
"Learning by 'Doing' has always characterized the work at Hampton Institute. The following demonstrations structure: "Culling Hems for Profit" and "Poultry Diseases," F. S. Gammack; "Water Supply for Rural Homes," Donald F. Ferm; "Fresh Vegetables for Summer and Winter," Daniel Scott; "Dissection of Fish," Daniel Scott; "Care of Cows," Lawson Ridley; Director Bloedgett said, "The Farmera' Conference is held in connection with the Hampton Institute Summer School for Teachers and Ministers' Conference in order that a closer spirit of learning is among all those who are working for better conditions in rural sections.
Dr. Butterfield Speaks.
Dr. Butterfield, president of the American Country Life Association and The World Agriculture Society, infilthis address on "A Satisfying Country Life," which he delivered at a union meeting in 1985. Butterfield clarified that "a satisfying country life must be profitable; must be educational, must be co-operative, and must be Christian." Dr. Butterfield paid a tribute to General Armstrong, Doctor Frissell, Booker T. Washington, and Principal Moton Tustgegee. He also helped colored women, helping men and women to get a firm grasp of their serious problems.
"There must be a better system of distribution for farm products," declared Dr. Butterfield. "Men must face the question of distribution intelligently and not emotionally. Little farms must be made to yield more of the products that can be consumed by farm families. Farming must be producing goods, not only for himself, but also for great cities and countries overseas. Farming must enable men not only to make a living, but to make a life. It is a fallacy for men to say. 'If you will show the farmers of this country how to make money, all of these other things will take care of you.' Farming is a rural community is a group of families planning and discussing and thinking and working together for everything that concerns the common interests of all.

"There must come the co-operation of all farmers, as well as the co-operation of city and country. The American farmer must, sooner or later, learn the lesson of international co-operation. Country life development is but a part of the larger, more recent century, which is that of trying to attain a Christian democracy."
Dr. Gregg, who presided, introduced Dr. Butterfield, as "an educational leader who is widely known as one of the formest authorities in the United States and, indeed, the world, which are receiving attention at Hampton."
Millions Are Wasted.
That millions and millions of dollars are annually lost to the citizens of Virginia on account of the ravages of plant diseases was clearly shown to the members of the Hampstead Institute for Plant Disease, Dr. Turner of Howard Conference University, who spoke on "Plant Diseases and the Reduction of Farm-Profit's." Dr. Turner stated that Virginia, for example, lost on the wheat crop bushels, 1-2 per cent; 35,000 bushels, 4 per cent; corn, 2,800,000 bushels or 6 per cent; potatoes, 479,000 bushels or 6 per cent; tomatoes, 19,000 tons or 30 per cent; sweet potatoes, 2,000,000 bushels or 30 per cent; potatoes, 3,000,000 sales, or 14 per cent; and soils, 4,000 bushels or 31 per cent.
Smith-Lever Act Praised
Speaking before a group of farmers, Dr. Butterfield commended John B. Pierce, special agent of the States Relations Service, and his co-workers, on the extension-work program which they have developed to emphasize the importance of having farmers improve their individual farms and at the same time work in co-operation with their neighbors for community improvement. "Each farmer" said Butterfield, "has his own job, but he has a responsibility to farmers." The Smith-Lever Act, which provides for extension service throughout the United States, is, in my judgment, the greatest piece of educational legislation that has ever been enacted by this or any other country, isemeaning that any other body Through it the National government gives some money for the benefit of all our farmers."

Never Knew

Replaced Teeth
We Make Them Look
so Natural
There are lots of faces, pretty ones, sensible, business and honest faces; some combine all attractions. To make the use of any type of teeth are essentially necessary. Imagine a one of sore eyes, a poor teeth and a worn, apartilline tooth and ideal partners for bright eyes. Avoid wrinkles, below cheeks, free my indigestion. The best good teeth for bad ones at no great expense. no discomfort or injury during treatment. Well tell you how with pleasure.
