In last week's Age, the account of the Federation meeting told of an incident in the meeting of the executive committee when the chairman, Miss Josephine Holmesof New York, attempted to bar Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, former active president, and now an honorary president of the state body. Later reports are to the effect that Miss Holmes made her ruling on the ground that the executive committee is to be composed of presidents and secretaries of the local clubs, and as Mrs. Talbert was neither, the chairman ruled that she was not eligible to be present at the executive com- It was this ruling which precipitated a discussion and led Mrs. Talbert's friends to protest that as an honorary president of the state body, she was ex-officio a member of the committee, and as an ex-president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs she should at least be extended the privilege as a co-worker. However, Mrs. Talbert declared that she was not present as a former president of either the state or national body, but simply as a representative of the women's club of Bufalo, N.Y., and it was the debate had waxed hotter, so hot, in fact, that some one suggested prayer as a pacifying influence, that Mrs. Jackson of Tarrytown, according to reports, discovered a clause in the constitution which clarified the atmosphere. To Slap Mrs. Trotman's Face. This clause, it is said, declares the membership of the executive committee to be made up of the presidents and secretaries of the local clubs, "for their institutes," and it was under this rule that Mr. Talbert remained as a participant in the deliberations of the executive committee. According to reports, it was from the discovery of this constitutional provision that one of the most exciting St. Thomas Church Oldest Negro C Founded in 1793 by A lowing Attempted Seg Church Where Negro Thas Church, Phi st Negro Church 1793 by Absalom empted Segregation Where Negroes W St. Thomas Church, Phila., Oldest Negro Church in U. S. Founded in 1793 by Absalom Jones Following Attempted Segregation in White Church Where Negroes Worshipped Philadelphia, Pa.—Many people do not know that the oldest church in America is St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, founded by Absalom Jones, in 1793. In that time the principal colored clerics of the Quaker City used to worship in a white Methodist Church, known as St. George's. All went well when Sunday morning, in 1793, when the white Communist cants became suddenly alarmed at the increasing number of colored persons attending their worship. Whereupon it was decided to copy the colored members to move up the gallery of the church. Before this time they had occupied whatever was there placed. Left White Church in Body. It was during the prayers that the order issued. Needless to say, our ministers refused absolutely to move during the prayers; but, as soon as the praying was over they left the church in a body, never to return again to the gorge. Three people founded a church of the same since known as St. Thomas Church in Philadelphia. A few years later, Robert Allen founded Mother Bethlehem in A. M. E. connection. But St. Thomas is known throughout the world as the real "Mother Church" of our people in this country. Two years ago this ancient parish was on the verge of disbandment. There was no money in the church, and it was difficult to find a new place to close its doors. In the providence of God this great catastrophe was averaged by the advent of the present rector, Rev. F. A. Garrett. Nother Money or Home for Rector. This young priest undertook the work as an act of faith. There was not enough money in the treasury to pay his first month's salary at the time he was called to the rectorship; the church had not so much as a home for his wife and children. But at the end of two years, St. Thomas possesses one of the finest rectories in the country and has paid all salaries to date, month by month, on the day they fell due, and this from the very day the new rector took up his work in the parish. Moreover, the church is again self-supporting, and the congregation and contributions of the people have increased four-fold. With less than four hundred parishioners no work with six thousand dollars more raised the free will offerings of the people that year, without the aid of donations. Thus, again, the New White Church Joins and grows, and has incidents of the entire session developed. As the clause was read, clearly defining Mrs. Talbert's status, someone was heard to remark, "Ya, some more log-rolling." Miss Holmes overheard this remark and attributed it to Mrs. Trotman of Brooklyn, who was seated in the committee room. The information is that the chairman became incensed at the implication and declared her resentment. She declared with emphasis that she was a woman before she was chairman of the executive committee of the Federation, and that she would not be responsible for her action if Mrs. Trotman dared to repeat the remark concerning "log-rolling." Mrs. Trotman, without hesitation, declared there was no reason why she should not repeat it, since "log-rolling" was so apparently evidence. Then it is alleged that Miss Holmes laid aside the chairman's mantle and descended from the platform, intent on reaching Mrs. Trotman's side, and it is rumored that her object was to give physical expression to her indignation by politely, though forcibly, slapping that lady's face. Whether she would have succeeded in the attempt or not will probably never be known as several of the ladies present became energetically active and put a stop to her tempestuous progress.

Ginsburg, Nigro athlete, who set a new world broad jump record on the last 3 inches last Saturday, has closed his college career with an all round record of track and field production, passing that of any man who ever wore the Cymbeline. In many events which he first tried as a freshman in a list of the marks he has made in actual competitions. They follow: The Harvard athletic authorities have been unable to get medals struck till as often as Gourdin has given them. Five gold medals of special die are due him for all athletic college record marks in the broad jump, calculating in the greatest jump known to man last Saturday. An event of unusual importance in amateur athletic circles, and of great interest to colored athletes throughout the country, occurred at the Harvard Stadium on Saturday, July 23rd, when E. O. Gourdin established a new world's record of 26 feet 3 inches in the running broad jump at the international track meet between the teams of Harvard and Yale and those of Oxford and Cambridge. Largely through the brilliant work of Gourdin, the Harvard-Yale teams surprised the public by taking first place in eight of the Giten events. Gourdin did the first sporing in competition, and yard dash in 10.15 seconds, and was the longest sporing streak for the American teams. It happens, that this was Gourdin's last appearance with the Harvard track team, as he was graduated in June, and his remarkable achievement on Saturday was a fitting close to his brilliant athletic career at Harvard. The world's record of 24 feet 11 3/4 inches in the broad jump was established twenty years ago on August 5th, 1901, by Pat O'Connor, and it was thought by experts that this record would stand for a number of years longer. Gourdin however, decided early in the season that he would try for a new record in that event and to this end underwent careful training. In the Penn Relay Carnival last spring, but for inefficient judging, he would have broken the intercollegiate record with a leap of 24 feet 8 inches. He was not discouraged by the poor decision of the judges in this meet, and continued to work toward the goal he had planned for the year. At the intercollegiate meet and at the national A. A. U. meet in California, he was disappointed, but not discouraged at not New Public School Account For Children of Nyerre Junior High School To Be Graded On Watts' Estata, 139th-140th St., Nyerre Room For Lower Grade Classes A new public school for Karlen is practically ascertained, according to de- velopments following a conference held by Alderman Charles R.

The new school is to be located on the north situated between U.S. high schools and Leona programs, near locally at the West estates. According to information given by Supreme Court, the DR. PROCTOR HEARD BY TACOMA,WASH.,PEOPLE (Special to The New York Age) Tacoma, Washington-Dr. Henry H. Proctor of Brooklyn, N. Y. stopped here Sunday, July 17th on his return across the continent from the National Council of Congregational Churches, at Los Angeles. He came at the invitation of the Rev. Dr. Frank Dier, white, of the First Congregational Church, who is a great friend of our people. Dr. Proctor spoke at two white-churches during the day, two colored churches, and also at the Tacoma Stadium, one of the best in the country, to an audience of both races. After tracing the historic progress of the American Negro, Dr. Proctor held that the Negro had brought the bacon home, and now proposed to buy it and eat it, not in the kitchen, but at the table with the rest of the American family. Dr. and Mrs. Proctor were, shown much attention by the cities on the coast which they have visited. Cornelius M. Battey, head of the photographic division of Teakagoe Institute, Ala., is in New York City for a few days after attending the annual session of the Photographers' Association of America which met at Burlako, N.Y., July 17-21. Mr. Battey, who was the only race photographer in attendance, submitted five photographic studies for admission to the association gallery and four were accepted and hung. Photographers of distinction from various sections of the country to the number of about fifty hundred women attended the session and photographed exhibitions from Great Britain and Germany, in addition to the exhibits, coming from studios of the members. Mr. Battey states that the plans for development of the work at Teakagoe Institute contemporaneously the addition of a moving picture motif, and this is the foretemptation of a series of racial development pictures which will be given to the public through the ordinary commercial outlets. He hopes in this way to present, directly to the world the race's story in pictures, and at the same time develop the commercial possibilities of video. EDWARD O. GOURDIN of Jacksonville, Fl.

Figures Indicate Increase of Negro Population as Less Than 700,000 During 1910-1920 Decennial Kelly Miller of Howard University Writes Head of Bureau With Reference To Correcting the Apparent Error The figures issued by the Bureau of the Census. Department of Commerce, showing the total Negro population in 1920 as being only 10,463,013, were surprising in view of the fact that the 1910 figures were 9,827,763. This increase of only 635,250, a growth during the decennial of just 6.5 per cent, means either an unexpected and unexplained decline in race growth, or else an almost criminal inaccuracy in making the count. Professor Kelly Miller of Howard University has taken up the matter in a letter to William M. Stewart. Director of the Census, in which he suggests that the 1920 census was probably inaccurate. Mr. Miller has submitted to The Age a copy of his letter to Director Stewart and the reply which was received thereto. The transmitting letter to The Age is as follows: Editor of The New York Age I am sending you copy of correspondence with the Census Office, with reference to the inaccuracy of figures on Negro population. ial increment, but a gradual decline in the rate of increase.

The census of 1820 has been universally discredited. The under-valuation of the Negro population accounts for I feel that so important a matter should receive nation-wide discussion in both the colored and white pages. The Age is the best organ to precipitate such a discussion. I am of the opinion that Professor should be brought upon the Census Office to test the accuracy or make correction of the error. KELLY MILLER. Washington, D. C. The correspondence between Mr. Miller and Director Stewart is given below. Mr William Stewart Director of the Census. Dear Sir, According to the recent Bulletin issued by the Bureau of the Census, the Negro population showed a surprising and unexplaining decline during the past decade. In 1910 there were 9, 827.763 Negroes, and in 1920 only 10.463.013. The decimal increase was only 0.65 per percent which falls far short of all reas- nable expectation. The growth of the Negro population as shown by the Feral Census for the past seven years exhibits such striking departure from the normal behavior of an increasing population as to raise the issue of ac- curacy in any scientific mind. The glaring absurdity of these figures may be brought to light beginning with the Census to 1850. The data for 1850 and 1860 are of undisputed accuracy. During the intervening decade there was no appreciable reenforcement of imported slaves. These figures tell their own story. Decade Per cent increase Decade Per cent increase 1850-1860 22.3 1860-1870 9.9 1870-1880 34.9 1870-1890 13.8 1890-1900 18.0 1900-1910 11.2 1910-1920 6.5 The irregularities in these figures are as whimsical as if produced by the sport of the Gods. The rhythmical rise and fall of these figures impress one as the alternate up and down motion of boys playing at "ace-saw". The normal growth of population uninfluenced by immigration or emigration shows a gradual increase in the decen- as Were Active men's Convention in Session at Buffalo forced Men as Vice- Were Delegates and in this capacity their work was of great value.

Whatever there is a wide divergence from this law it must be accounted for by special contributing factors. The capricious jumping back and forth from 22.3 to 29.9, to 34.9, and back to 13.9, up again to 18.0, and back to 11.2, thence downward to 6.5 has perhaps never been duplicated by any human population. The census of 1870 has been universally discredited. The under-valuation of the Negro population accounts for the sudden drop in increase from 180 to 1899 and for the still more startling rise from 1797 to 1890. But no equally credible admission of error has yet been investigated in explanation of striking irregularity from 1880 to the present time. Why should the ordinate of a curve which should move smoothly downward rise from 13.9 to 18.8, then drop to 11.2 during the interval from 1880 to 1910. No adequate perturbing influence has yet been suggested to account for this behavior. It can only be reasonably accounted for by imputing had counting on the part of the Bureau of the Census. The census of 1890 was placed under suspicion of inaccuracy by competent statistical authorities. The effect fell heaviest on the Negro population in the southern states. Error in this count would increase the decadal growth from 1880 to 1890 and reduce that from 1890 to 1900. Correction for these suspected enumerations of 1870 and 1890 would cause the curve of increase in the Negro population from 1850 to 1910 to fall below the expectation. A gradual decline in the rate of growth from 22.3 per cent to 11.2 per cent in 60 years would prove the Negro element conforms to the regular law of human population. The decline in the rate of increase of 6.5 per cent during the past decade on its face would seem to be as probable an error as has ever been committed by the Census Bureau. The Negro population again is made to take a sudden leap in its downward direction. Your suggestion that available data indicate a declining birth rate and a stationary birth rate is not wholly convincing. You admit that the data are inaccurate to justify full confidence in the influence. The conclusion is too important to pass upon such an insufficient basis. You also state that the rate of increase in the Negro population which is not perceptibly influenced by immigration or emigration, is by far the lowest record. This element of the population has been growing, at a rapidly diminishing rate during the past 30 years its percentage of increase having declined from 18 per cent, between 1880 and 1910, to 11.2 per cent during the following decade and to 6.5 per cent during the 10 years ending January 1, 1920. This comment is noted in its assurance of assertion as if there were no possible suspicion of error, in the figures upon which it is based. It is also interesting to note that you limit the comparison to the past years, rather than to the past 40 years. Had you included the preceding decade, you could not have escaped the necessity of accounting for the sudden rise in increase from 139, between 1800 and 1890, to 18 per cent, between 1800 and 1900. This would, of course, have contradicted the theory that the Negro population has been steadily grown at a rapidly diminishing rate. I trust that it will be permissible to suggest that the census of 1920 was probably inaccurate, so far as the enumeration of the Negro element concerned. The imperfections of the census of 1870 were due to unsettledditions growing out of the Civil War. The mobile Negro population was being to and fro and could not easily be definitely located or counted. Laws wise in 1920, due to upsetting conditions of the World War the migrationnorthern movement, residential idleness was difficult and accurate connection impossible. The unbiased scientific mind will be disposed to place the explained divergence from the legal probability upon the imperfections of the Census Office, where it has definitely lodged on several occurrences rather than naively accepted a connection which violates all of the legal regularity and probability. It is a consequence of another Madam C.J. Walker Preparations If you want Beauty of Complexion and Loveliness of Hair any Mine C.J. Walkers World Renowned Toilet Preparations 1 FULL DIRECTIONS ON EVERY BOTTLE DeBow, relying upon the low rate of increase in the Negro population, revealed by the census of 1870, proved to the entire satisfaction of those who were satisfied with this type of proof that the Negro could not withstand the competition of freedom and would both with fall out of the equation as an affected factor. The census of 1880, showing the unheard of increase of 34 per cent, set all of DeBow's philosophy to naught. But thence arrose another school of philosophers which declared that this unheard of increase in the Negro population threatened the numerical ascendency of the white race and, therefore, the black man should be returned to Africa from which his ancestors came. The census of 1890 infused this conclusion by showing only an increase of 138 per cent, but no white abashed, another type of ant Negro propagandism, argue declaring that the race indicated inherent, degenerative physical tendencies threatening to the health and stamina of the American people. The census of 1900, showing a rise of decadal growth to 18 per cent, produced a calm in the domain of social speculation. But the preceding prophesies of evil welfare still of record. It seems to be the nature of the prophet to ignore the failure of fulfilment of his prophesies. It is particularly unfortunate that such loose and unscientific propaganda can be bolstered up by data from governmental documents which the unenquiring mind is disposed to accept with the authority of holy writ. The calamity philosophers have already slipped their pen and ink to damn the Negro race to degeneration and death by reading of the latest census figures. The thought and perhaps conduct of the station may be mislead on the basis of erroneous data, backed up by governmental authority. The broader question arises in the scientific mind. If the data on Negro population furnished by the census cannot be relied on as is clearly shown by past enumerations, what assurance is there that collateral information, such as death-rate, birth-rate, occupation, literacy, etc., are to be given full credit and confidence. The Negro problem is the most complicated issue with which we have to deal. Straight thinking, and sound opinion based upon accurate data are absolutely necessary to enable us to reach any conclusion of issue. The Census Office, has now become a permanent bureau, which it is hoped will take rank with the other scientific departments of the government. On account of the vast importance of the issues involved and the conclusions which may hinder the Census material affecting Negro population, I beg to suggest, the feasibility of testing the accuracy of the Negro enumeration for 1900 by any means which may prove practicable under the procedure of the Census Bureau. Yours truly, KELLY MILLER Director Stewart to Mr. Miller. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eurean of the Census. Washington, June 19, 1921 Profe. of Kelly Miller. Dean, Junior College. Your letter of July 15, in reference to the enumeration of the Negro population in 1920 and earlier census years, has been received and carefully noted. It is true, as you assert, that the COSTRE PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR THE USE OF THE PUBLIC BY THE ROCK 14, BROOKLYN, N.Y. unaffected factor of increase shown by the census survey for the seven decades from 1800 to 1850 show stillling irregularities. These irregularities are due, in the main, to the defective enumeration of the Negro population in 1870 and in 1880. In the press announcement to which you refer no reference was made to those defects in earlier censuses. We adjusted rates of increase had been cited, explanations would have been necessary, and those explanations have involved casting discernible census, which it was deemed fitting to do in a press announcement. In pages 27 and 28 of the Census Bureau report, "Negro Population in New York States, 1790-1915," the un- certainment of the Negro population 1800 and 1890 is discussed and the true rates of increase for the four decades from 1870 to 1910 are estimated as follows: 1870-1890, 22.0 per cent 1880-1890, 17.9 per cent 1890-1900, 13.8 per cent 1900-1910, 11.2 per cent The enumeration of the white population was also deficient in 1870, but is believed to have been reasonably accurate in 1890. No adjustment of the figures for the native white population of native parentage for the decade 1870- 1880 has been made, but for the next three decades the rates of increase in this class of the population were as follows: 1880-1890, 20.3 per cent 1890-1900, 18.8 per cent 1900-1910, 20.9 per cent The increase in the native white population of native parentage comes in part from births in the families of native whites of foreign or mixed native and foreign parentage, for which reason the rates of increase just cited are not strictly comparable with those for the Negro population, which is not augmented in any material degree directly by imagination. You assert that "the decline in the rate of increase to 65 per cent during the past decade, on its face, would seem to be as palpable an error as has ever been committed by the Census Bureau." A careful examination and comparison of all available data does not sustain this view. Five Southern states—Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Kentucky, are now included in the area from which data as to births and deaths are collected annually. The number of births and deaths among the white and the colored population of these states were ascertained at the census of 1900, but not at the census of 1910, and the states were not admitted to the birth-registration area until recently. The following comparison of the birth and death rates for the white and colored population of these states is, therefore, limited to 1900 and 1919: States and Color Birth rate Death rate 1900 1919 1900 1919 Maryland: White 15.7 19.0 16.1 11.5 Colored 27.9 26.7 21.6 22.3 Virginia: White 31.5 25.9 11.8 11.5 Colored 33.1 27.8 16.9 18.8 North Carolina: White 34.3 29.3 10.5 10.6 Colored 36.5 28.5 12.5 15.9 South Carolina: White 32.4 27.1 10.4 10.5 Colored 38.2 26.2 14.5 16.2 Kentucky: White 31.2 24.7 11.8 11.9 Colored 35.2 17.2 17.7 21.2 The term "colored" refers to all nonwhites, including Indians, Chinese and Japanese; but in the states under consideration the Negroes constitute nearly all the colored population. The figures for 1900 may be somewhat inaccurate, particularly in regard to death rates; but it is clear from the above comparison that the birth rates among both whites and Negroes have been decreasing, and it appears highly probable that the decrease has been somewhat more rapid among the Negroes than among the whites. The death rate for the white population, however, appears to have remained practically stationary, except in Maryland, while that for the colored population seems to have increased somewhat. The Census Bureau's series of annual reports on births in certain states becomes with that for the population of beaches have been increased since 1900. From 1900 on the mortality reasons for the mortality rate and of the birth rate increased from 1858 to 1905, it appears that the animal population to increase, of birth over龄 in the entire population of the birth, retention area, and presumably of the entire United States; has been about 1 percent, which indicates a deserial rate of natural increase amounting to about 10 per cent. Thus the difference between the rate of increase in the total population and that in the total population, while maternal, is not amenable. Further evidence of the difference between the rates of natural increase for the white and the Negro population is supplied by the Bureau's report "Birth Statistics, 1919," a copy of which is mailed you under separate cover. In Table 1, beginning on page 25 of this report, are given the numbers of white and colored births and deaths, the success of births over deaths, and the numbers of births per 100 death for the white and colored population of the birth-registration area, which comprises 22 states and the District of Columbia. In six of these states—California, Minnesota, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin—the Negro population constitutes less than half of the total colored population. These states should, therefore, be regarded in any consideration of Negro birth and death rates. In the remainder of the birth-registration area the excess of colored birth over colored death during the year 1919 was 24,222. The total colored population of the same portion of the registration area on January 1, 1920, was 3,844,200. Dividing the former number by the latter gives a quotient of 0.062 or 62-100 of per cent, representing the rate of increase in the colored population of all that part of the birth-registration area in which the colored population consists mainly of Negroes. This rate of increase for the year 1919 harmonizes very closely with the increase of 65 per cent. during the decade 1910-1920 as shown by the Fourteenth Decennial Census. It must be borne in mind that the decennial census enumeration of 1928 was entirely separate from an independent of the registration of births and deaths. No state is admitted by the Census Bureau to either the birth-registration area or the death-registration area until after a careful test has been made, as a result of which it appears that the registration of births or deaths, as the case may be, is at least 90 percent complete. The registration itself is made by local officials, from whom the Census Bureau receives transcripts of birth and death certificates. In the concluding paragraph of your letter you suggest the feasibility of testing the accuracy of the Negro enumeration in 1920 by any means which may prove practicable under the procedure of the Census Bureau. This has already been done, as set forth above. The only other test which would be possible would be a complete enumeration of the entire Negro population of the United States. This could not be made without additional appropriation by Congress; and, in view of the fact that all the collateral evidence points to the substantial accuracy of the enumeration of 1920, neither the Bureau nor any other organization would be justified in requesting an appropriation for such a purpose. Very truly yours. WM. M. STEFWART. Director. Sootia Chapter Notes Scotia Chapter mer at 208 West 142 street, on Sunday afternoon. Visitors were introduced as follows: Miss Irene Sanders of Petersburg, Va.; Miss Carrie G. Hargrave of Wilmington, N. C. Mrs. Eugene Price; Brooklyn; B. Sanders and W. A. Sanders, New York City; Mrs. Louise Hargrave, of Wilmington, N. C. Mrs. Dillard described the work being carried on at Scotia Seminary, Concord, N. C. Mrs. Dillard was a visitor at the fifth commencement of the school. The chapter's next meeting will be September 25. Scotia Chapar will give a reception and dance on August 14, at Mrs. Schofield's residence 249. West 129th street, honor of the visiting teacher and friend, Mrs. Rora V. Lee is secretary. Late in the period preceding the 19th century, among the most important of the great works of art of the nineteenth century was the painting of the 1870s by the American artist John Singer Sargent. A master of portraiture, Sargent was one of the most important artists of the nineteenth century, and his paintings are still considered to be some of the best examples of the period. Among their reports coming down from the Trust meeting is a tale of the studied empathy alleged to have been shown Mrs. Talbert and Mrs. Huntown during the regular session of the State Federation, Mrs. M. C. Lawton of Brownsburg, is president of this body, and was repected for the seventh time. The report alleges that for some reason Mrs. Talbert, as former national president, and Mrs. Huntown, as delegated representative of the present national president, Miss Halle O. Brown, were not treated with even ordinary courtear. It is pointed out that Thursday evening was designated as N. A. A. C. P. night, at which time the president of Troy's local branch of the organization—Mr. Talbert (not related to Mrs. Talbert of Buffalo)—was to preside, with James Weldon Johnson, secretary, and Walter P. White, assistant secretary, as the principal speakers. Mr. Johnson was unable to be present. Mrs. Hunton is one of the field secretaries of the N. A. A. C. P., and in Mr. Johnson's absence, Assistant Secretary White is reported to have requested that Mrs. Hunton be allowed to speak in Mr. Johnson's speech. To Mr. surprise Mr. White, a reply has been received a reply that there was not sufficient time. When he recovered, Mr. White queried of the president as to what would have been Mr. Johnson's fate had he been present. To this he received no reply. Another report from Troy is to the effect that when the president turned over the gavel to Mr. Talbert on N.A. A. C. P. night, she expressly informed him that no other persons were to be invited to the platform as those required were already there. However, Mr. Talbert, later on, saw Mrs. Hunton sitting in the audience, and knowing of her official connection with the Advancement Association, as well as her prominence in women's work, he extended her a seat: very cordial invitation to take a seat on the platform. Deposed the Temporary Chairman It is alleged that when this happened, Mrs. Lawton immediately deprived Mr. Talbert of the gavel, and reassured herself the children's chair. The gentleman was immediately humiliated and chastened, but there was nothing for him to do but retire with as much dignity, as he could muster. And it is declared as a matter of fact that in the face of repeated requests and importunities from the audience, neither Mrs. Talbert or Mrs. Hunton were called upon by the chair at any of the public gossips for remarks of any character. As a matter of fact, and in spite of the apparent subjugation placed by the presiding officer, Mrs. Hunton did make a speech on N. A, A.C. P. nighG. But it was necessary for Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, herself occupying a seat on the floor for lack of an invitation to the platform, even though she is an honorary president of the state organization and expresident of the national body to rise from her seat and introduce Mrs. Hunton to the assemblage, in response to an insistent demand from the audience that Mrs. Hunton speak. Of course this did not contribute anything toward the reign of peace or the healing of old scores. It was interesting to note, according to one of the ladies of the Federation, that all of the old officers were reelected save Mrs. Jackson of Tarrytown as organizer. It was Mrs. Jackson who discovered the constitutional clause which entitled Mrs. Talbert to a seat in the executive committee. The Women's Federation Editor of The New York Age. Just how much the earnest hearted women, the founders of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, deploy the action of the organization at their thirteenth annual session, is impossible to express! Of the great numbers of city state and federations all over the country, forming the great national body not one can be charged up with such violation of justice, to say nothing of respect and ignorance! There are other irregularities even worse, done in local meetings with a few of the local clubs represented calling themselves the executive committee." It is hardly worth the energy it would take to do battle with such unscrupulousness. It was well that the first honorary president, Mrs. Francis Reynold Keyser, who was and is in town, was not feeling equal to the trip to Troy, did not force her strength to go only to be denied her right as a member of the executive board. "The Epiphany State Federation, I fear, he let his right to demand the respect of intelligent women along the path of right and justice or a "square deal." Liking as we climb" should be kept in view for certainly "The end will crowds the work." M. J. S. New York City.

The colored citizens of Fayetteville cannot understand why the boxing authorities object to the Johnson-Dempsey match because Johnson was a Federal prisoner and not mention: Dempsey being a draft dodger. We believe that Johnson's being a Federal prisoner was not as bad as being a draft dodger, because Johnson took his punishment: easy and did not express at the least any regretfulness. But when Uncle Sam drafted men for his army then Dempsey tried to put one over him, deserted his country, did not want democracy take for his people. He was nothing other than a punishment. And therefore we think if it is fair for the draft dodger to hold the belt, it is also fair for the on-Federal prisoner to fight for it. (Sirigard) H. L. BROWN BALEIGH, N. C. Raleigh, N.

His valuation of a seat in the Aldermanic Board appears to be expensive. EXISTING THE CENSUS FIGURES. Some interesting correspondence has been called forth between Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University and Director Wm. M. Stewart of the Census Bureau over the figures given in a recent bulletin, which showed a surprising and explainable decline in the growth of the Negro population during the past ten years. The decennial increase with which the race is credited was put at 45 per cent, which as Prof. Miller assmns, falls far short of all reasonable expectation. Attention was called to these figures in The Age, a few weeks ago, and attention directed to the necessity for studying and testing their accuracy. We are glad to see that Prof. Miller is taken up this matter at this time in so thorough a manner, as indicated by his letter to the Director, that he points out the irregularities in the census figures relating to the New York population from the decade ending with 1880 and shows a capricious jump back and forth, in the percentage of increase, which he says his per- person never been duplicated by any human population. The Director admits the accuracy of these figures by formulating estimates of the true rate of increase, dating from the decade ending with 1880, which show a gradually increasing rate of increase. Even granting that these "estimates" approximate any way near the true figures, which is not by any means clear, the difference between the rate of increase between the census of 1910 and the census of 1920 is so much greater than for any previous decade as to strengthen the doubts raised as to its accuracy. Director Stewart controverss Prof. Baker's assertion that the decline in the rate of increase to 6.5 per cent. "would seem to be as plausible an error as has ever been committed by the Census Bureau." He adds that "cautiful examination of all the available data does not sustain this view." But his data relating to birth rate and death rate, gathered from five Southern States, does not seem to be sufficient to back up his assumption. The further evidence presented in giving the excess of thirths over deaths among Negroes, as reported from sixteen States, is not full enough nor convincing enough to support the correctness of the figures quoted for the decade. One reason why these figures are not be relied upon is furnished in the placement made by Director Stewart, that the registration of births and deaths made by local officials, from whom the Census Bureau receives transcripts of birth and death certificates." Even these transcripts were received from the States containing a large population of Negroes, it is to be doubted that local officials in such States as Arkansas and Mississippi pay much attention to registration of births, and deaths among Negroes. The tests made by Director Stewart to confirm the accuracy of the enumeration made in 1920, upon which the decrease in growth of the Negro population is based seemed inadequate to disguise the doubts engendered by the great variations shown in the figures from previous decades. According to the Director, the only other text possible would be complete re-enumeration of the entire Negro population of the United States. This could not be made without additional appropriation by Congress and the Director takes the position that neither the Bureau nor any other organization would be justified in requesting appropriation for such a purpose. Thanks of all those interested are to Prof. Miller for his efforts so far in the manifest discrepancy in the figures mentioned. Until more occurring conditions that may yet perform, they will not carry conditions to those familiar with the natural increase of the race and the last methods prevailing in many sections in the records and statistics relating to that growth. OUTSIDE INTEREST MANIFESTED The Southwestern Christian Advocates, published at New Orleans, is one of the official organs of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which represents the interests of the large colored membership of that denomination. In a recent issue appeared the following: paragraph: The trouble which has arisen at the Young Men's Christian Association over the secretary, Thomas E. Taylor, is still unsettled. Editor Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age, tells why Taylor should resign in the issue of his paper of June 18th, with a full story of the case. The white body retains Taylor despite the fact the majority vote of the Colored Board of Management had said he must go. The following board members claimed that Taylor's conduct was detrimental to "Y" work and have resigned because of the failure of the wife board to retain him: F. W. Parker, Chairman; Walter E. Handy, Dr. C. H. Roberts, Rev. W. P. Hyes, pastor M. Olivet Baptist Church; Rev. A. C. Powell, pastor Abysinian Baptist Church; Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor St. Mark's M. E. Church; Rev. F. M. Hyder, pastor St. James Presbyterian Church; Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor Mother A. M. E. Zion Church; Dr. Jonas Emmanuel and Dr. B. T. Withers. This commitment on the "III" situation, as it appears to outsiders, is indicative of the widespread interest felt in this matter and the importance of having a proper settlement of the issues raised. Besides the newspaper discussion of this affair, individual expressions commending the stardust taken, by Tirez Acu have been received from all parts of the country. Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida are among the states represented in sustaining the necessity of maintaining a high standard of morals among welfare workers. This expression of popular sentiment goes to strengthen the position taken that Mr. Taylor's usefulness as executive secretary has become a thing that is ended. It should impress those responsible for the conduct of the organization with the fact that the Y. M. C. A. is bigger than any one individual. They should remove the cause of the trouble and recognize the right of the race to representation on central boards having charge of work among colored men. All thinking people recognize that Mr. Taylor's usefulness is ended as a factor to good. His retention at the head of the local work is the surest way to work its ultimate destruction. TWO-BY-FOUR CHURCHES. Harlem is becoming infested with a persecution of two-by-four churches, which meet in some private houses and hold some sort of hunger-mugger proceedings intended to launch a new sect of worshippers upon a world already too full of a confusion of tongues and creed. Few of these scattered congregations have any real aim or object, beyond the novelty of having offered to them a new religion, or an old creed with new frills, invented to fit the personal peculiarities of the leader or preacher. In most cases this leader is a man with the gift of gab and some degree of personal magnetism, too lazy to work at an honest trade, but loth to starve. He gathers around him a number of followers, mostly women, who hang upon his words as a divine inspiration, and deem it a privilege to support him in inleess. Of course they do not put it thus baldly. They are the members of his church and followers of his faith. They think that they do their duty in contributing of their hard earnings to the support of the church and incidentally of the preacher. Georgia has 58,980 square miles; the population is 2,895,832 and the state is divided into 155 counties. Georgia leads in lynchings Mississippi has 46,340 square miles: the population is 1,790,618 and it has 81 counties. Alabama has 51,540 square miles: the population is 2,348,174 and it has 68 counties. These three states lead in the lynching record. The multiplicity of counties in these three states which lead in lynchings is brought about out in striking contrast when we compare them with New York, which has 47,620 squae miles, a population of 10,385,227 and only 61 counties and Pennsylvania, which has 44,985 square miles, a population almost as large, and only 49 counties The contrast is more striking still when we compare Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama with South Carolina. South Carolina has 30,170 square miles, a population of 1,683,724 and 45 counties. In the last 32 years South Carolina has had only 123 lynchings. This sort of thing is all wrong. The leader of the two-by-four church, with his selfmade religion, is securing money under false pretences, because he is a false prophet. His influence on his followers is for evil, being based upon falsehood and self-seeking. He preys upon the ignorance and credulity of his followers, who receive no substantial benefit in return but are bounced by false doctrine and humour. The above figures would seem to bear out Mr. Wimpy's theory. However, this theory like most others cannot be pressed too far, because, in looking over the figures we come across states like Virginia and North Carolina which plainly contradict Mr. Wimpy's theory. For example., Virginia has 40,125 square miles, a population of 2,309,187 and a hundred counties. North Carolina has 48,580 square miles, a population of 2,559,123, and a hundred counties. Yet with their multiplicity of counties neither Virginia nor North Carolina stands very high, comparatively, in the lynching record. In the last 32 years, according to statistics, Virginia has had 79 lynchings and North Carolina, 59. The moral is of course to stick to the established churches that are founded upon the doctrines of Christianity. There are enough different varities of the Christian Church to suit almost any taste in religious belief, without seeking for false lights in the darkness. The two-by-four church with its lazy leader should be shunned by all decent poop. Mr. Wimpy's theory is good so far as it goes, but it does not cover all of the phenomena connected with lynching. It is reasonable to argue that if Georgia had fewer counties, say only fifty, the state would have a stricter and more impartial enforcement of law than it now has and that there would be fewer lynchings. The same thing is true of Mississippi and Alabama. But because these states are divided up as they are is not the sole cause of the frequency of lynchings in thAem. If it was merely a matter of reducing the number of counties, Florida, which is almost as large in area as Georgia, having 54,240 square miles, with only fifty-five counties, would be a model for orderliness among the southern states. But Florida in the last 32 years has had 212 lynchings. The Nortfolk Journal and Guide is of the opinion that prize fights are entirely brutal and brutalizing exhibitions. It also thinks that the recent contest at Jersey City between Dempsey and Carpenter indicated that Christian mankind is becoming more brutal, inhuman and immoral in thought and control. The following reason is also deduced for drawing the color line in the prize ring: No, the main cause of lynching is not in the political divisions of the state, but in the peoples themselves. The white people of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, whatever may be the reasons for it, are simply more lawless and more brutal than the people of New York and Pennsylvania or of Virginia and North Carolina. In truth, compared with the people of New York and Pennsylvania, and even of Virginia and North Carolina, the white people of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi are little less than savage. They need education and civilization, and for the product to have installed into them a wholesome respect for and fear of the law. It is here that the real problem lies rather than in the political divisions of the state. The fight pictures of theights between Jim Jeffries at Reno and Jess Willard at Havana were not allowed to be shown in the United States, and in the British possessions in the West Indies, Africa and India, because it would show that the black man was as good a physical fighting machine as the white man, and would, therefore, prejudice the black subjects against white rule. This would indicate that the doctrine of white supremacy and the segregation soon in hand existed, such a shaky foundation that close question is apt to union in the railroad station except in large cities where a colored person is not allowed to enter or leave the front door of the great union railroad station. There is segregation, of course, in all places of public accommodation. But to my mind the most absurd segregation is segregation in public parks, and this sort of segregation seems to be becoming very common through the larger southern cities. A great many cities in the South have already established public parks for colored people. One of the worst things about this park segregation is the fact that in a good many cities the Negroes are petitioning for colored parks. A park in the colored section of the city which would naturally be used most by colored people but which would be open to any citizen is all right, but a park in the colored section limited to use by colored people who are at the same time debarred from using the other public parks is all wrong. No such park as should be asked for by colored people or accepted by them.

It has done a senseless, lawless and brutal thing. In a moment of trial it has been found wanting in the power of self-control. McCormick blew up under the test. And capable white man do not do that thing. This is the sort of sentiment that the white press all over the South and all over the country ought to express regarding lynching. There is only one way to look at it, and there can be no excuse or justification for it. The fact that a debased Negro or any other individual commits a crime is in no way a justification for a whole community committing a worse crime. Lynching must be stamped out and each editorials as the above from the Spartanburg "Herald" will go far toward helping to do it. A COMMISSION FOR LIBERIA The protracted delay on the part of the United States Treasury Department in making available the credit of five million dollars, which was authorized a year or two ago as a loan to the Republic of Liberia, is significant. Despite the coming to this country of President King and other officials of the Liberian Republic, the new administration appears to be as reluctant to conclude the financial arrangements, as was the previous Democratic regime. Some good reason must exist to account for this apparent failure of the negotiations entered into during the period of the war. It may be possible that the Liberian commission has so far failed to impress the American government as to the borrowing capacity of the West African republic and its ability to use the money borrowed so as to make it productive and thus provide for meeting the interest regularly and setting aside a sinking fund for the redemption of the loan. Of course, during the war period such requirements were not exacted of the other allied powers, but since the fever of combat has abased, the reckless profusion of the wartime funding and spending has simmered down. Perhaps the best way to determine whether the United States shall invest five millions in the development of Liberia would be to send a commission of three or more experienced men to investigate and report on the conditions and resources of the country. Let them determine how the money can best be utilized in the way of public improvements, so as to increase the revenues of the country. Due attention should be given to the matters of assistance, public instruction and transportation facilities, both by land and water. The necessity for the loan should be clearly demonstrated, at the same time showing how it should be used to aid in the development of the country, so as to make it safe not only for Liberians but for all who may desire to go there. With such information put at the command of the American government by a commission of disinterested but competent investigators, the reluctance to invest American dollars in Liberian bonds should be effectually dispelled. At any rate, if the Treasury Department still declines, an American banking syndicate could be found to do it—for a price. It is essential, however, that the loan should be devoted to practical, public uses and not squandered in goyety and vanity. VIRGINIA TRIPS BLACKING. The new policy of blanching the Republican party in the South, by eliminating the Negro as a member, an reconstituted by Representative C. Beppean, Bishop of Virginia, who gives a trial of the recent Republican State Convention held at Norfolk. According to the Norfolk Journal and Guide, this body was composed of "Lily Whites," whose purpose was to elect a state Republican thing. It constituted: Blanching were established on the floor and ordered not to admit any supporters and no customers. --- POLITICAL REASONS FOR LYNCHING. A Mr. W. E. Wimpy of Clarkston, Ga., writing is a recent issue of the Atlanta "Constitution," presents a discussion of the lynching evil which deserves consideration. The ground taken by Mr. Wimpy is not entirely new but it is one which has not been very carefully surveyed. This correspondent of the Atlanta "Constitution" sets out to show why there are more lynchings in Georgia than in any other state in the Union or in any other country in the world with the exception of America. He claims that for more than five years he has been making a thorough research seeking the causes of lynching in his own state, in the country, and throughout the world. He sums up his conclusions in the statement that Georgia leads the world in lynchings because the state is divided up into so many infinitesimal political units; that the fact that there are so many counties (155) in the state makes crime not only easier to commit but harder to punish. At first glance this line of reasoning would appear to be contrary to truth. One is apt to conclude, without thinking about it, that a state divided into 155 counties, and therefore having 155 sheriffs and a corresponding number of subordinate peace officers, would of necessity be more law-abiding than a state where there were fewer political divisions, and therefore fewer sheriffs and corresponding subordinate peace officers. One would think that in the former state, peace offices, having a smaller area to cover, could be more effective than in the latter state. On second thought, however, it is easy to see that such is not the case. Indeed, law enforcement, in a state divided up like Georgia is rendered more difficult for a very plain and human reason. Where the counties are so small as they are in a state like Georgia the population of the county is necessarily small and it follows that the sheriff knows everybody in the county and is known by everybody. In fact, in many cases the sheriff must be in one way or another related to a large proportion at least of the white people in the county. When he is elected, therefore he is elected by his relatives, friends and acquaintances; and there comes the rub when he is called upon to enforce the law. In such a county the sheriff is almost certain to temporize with the mob and perhaps even be in collusion with it. But even if he is an honest man and a conscientious officer he will hesitate in a crisis to shoot down his friends, "John," "Bill" and "Jim," simply to protect a prisoner, especially if that prisoner is a Negro. For these same reasons it is almost impossible to apprehend and punish participants in a lynching. In a state where the counties are so small as in Georgia it is almost impossible for a mob to commit a lynching without making it possible for the sheriff to find out who was in the mob, but as the sheriff is certain to find out that he had friends and relatives in the mob, he makes no effort to gain official knowledge of the facts. On the other hand, in a state where the counties are large and contain a much greater number of inhabitants, the sheriff cannot know everbody. His particular friends and relatives number and infinitesimal portion of the whole population. He is, therefore, in the enforcement of the law, able to act with greater impartiality. In enforcing the law he is not called upon to be tender-hearted about friends and relatives. If he is a brave officer, all mobs look alike to him. A glance at the area, population and subdivisions of some of the states might be of interest. These three states lead in the in the In the last 32 years Georgia has had so far as the records show. 115 lunchings. Mississippi, 392, and Alabama, 290. McCormick, S.

He refused and left the convention hall. His colleague, a white man from the same county, also left the convention in disgust. The colored Republicans, including Atty. J. T. Newsome of Memphis, Nowa. Thomas H. Reid of Portsmouth, John Pollard of Richmond and two-score others, who were exclaimed from the convention, immediately held a meeting in the Attucks剧院, where plains were made for the holding of a Republican State Convention, in the city of Richmond, where members of the state would not be Colored Republicans of the pease are determined not to be ignored in this manner and a stiff fight for recognition is promised in the future. Most of the local Republican conventions to elect delegates to the State convention held in Norfolk, were held in exclusive places where colored people could not be admitted, as was the Norfolk convention, which was held in the Ghent Club. This last proceeding was in direct defense of the ruling of the National Republican Committee, as emancipated a year ago. The colored, Republicans of Virginia should keep up their fight for recognition. If necessary, they should hold a state convention of regularly elected delegates, without drawing a color line, and nominate a State ticket. Under no circumstances should they recognize or support the ticket set up by the "Lily White" convention held in Norfolk. The Negro Republicans of Virginia have the remedy against "Lillywhitism" in their own hands. Let them use it by opposing any ticket set up by the "Lillywhites" tooth and cannail. It is better to vote for a straight Democratic ticket than a "Lillywhite" abomination, masquerading in the robes of Republicanism. THE WRONG ARGUMENT At one of the numerous meetings held recently to boost Negro Business enterprises, a speaker whose rule of utterance putteed his thinking faultless, used the wrong kind of argument. In advocating support of the enterprise in question, he said that when the business was organized it "would be dangerous for colored men to petrushie the white store." Now, language like this smacks of the nature of a resort to force and thrash. It is supportive of the soap box orator, who advocates smashfishing everything that is established as a means of being about needed reforms. It is exhorty the wrong argument to be employed in an effort to build up a legitimate business enterprise. Business education opened upon raising our people should be supported in a sense of social development and the opening of our avenues of employment for our workers. In enabling such support there should be recognition of the need for reciprocity among all our professional and business men. The doctors and lawyers and draughtsmen, who expect racial support should in turn be ready to give the extra assistance of support to the labor, the butcher and store store. All should recognize the necessity of charmed-provide, in the highbrow would put it, or in a more popular phrase, --- GROUND SUMMER TIME A writing index to the intensity of the desire for self-improvement, and the pursuit of higher education and specialization in certain branches, is afforded by the number of summer students belonging to the race. Nearly all the educational institutions of higher rank conduct summer schools and institutes for teachers, which are largely attended. The ministers and certain classes of welfare workers also meet in summer institutes for the combined purpose of instruction and recreation. Summer time is no longer while a play time for the teacher or teacher. Study claims a large share of her or her vacation time to the end that the student may be better equipped for the practice of his profession. The statement that the attendance at the summer classes of Columbia University this year included nearly fifteen hundred college students, coming from all parts of the country, is significant as showing the trese of this striving for the treatment of the higher education Another phase of this movement, indicate of the character and capability of those who compose this great army of students is the case of a young man from Virginia, who in addition to pursuing his course of Columbia, is entitled as an instructor at a vacation school in Lincoln. All honor to these summer scholars in all rections of the country who are gathered together for self-improvement that they may be better equipped to light for others the torch of learning.

The Old Dominion philosopher in the Richmond Planet emits the gim of wisdom: Some people are always looking for work and when they see anyone, they down a back alley or go up a ladder. Or else they contend that the workers offered are too small, or that the work is too hard or the hours too long. The ideal job is president of a bank editor of a newspaper or head of a financial order, and the Old Dominion philocopher monopolizes all three.

Some day in time to come when the future generations shall pass this spot it will fill their hearts with joy to read thereon the name of Herbert Williams, Henry Mack, John D. Levain and a few others who are gone. This is as it should be. Black and white alike gave their lives in the country's service and are equally entitled to honor and remembrance. The number of both races should and in coming such a memorial. The activities of a peripatetic crowd who recently blew into Cleveland are thus recorded by the Cleveland District One A. B. Mock of Louisville, Ky. secured the editor of the Gazette endorsement of a check for $10 he drew last week Monday afternoon, on the First National Bank of that city raised it to $20 and tried to draw that amount from the Guardian Savings and Trust Co., and would have been successful but for the care and thoughtfulness of the teller of the bank who refused to honor the emasculated check Mock was in jail, Saturday, June 25, 1921, and "stung" Atty. Geo. A. Mundy for services in police court; his fine and the costs, amounting to near $17. Last Saturday morning, the Gazette had Mock before Judge Terrell (irr Police Court) who reminded Mock that that was the third time he had been before him in about three weeks. After hearing the case, in which Detective Burkhard "shined," Mock was given until July 5, 1921, last Tuesday, to get out of town. It must have been a pretty smooth talker who could beguile Editor Harry C. Smith into endorsing his check for ten dollars. The raising of it to twenty dollars was an act of temerity that brought about the downfall of the operator. Other trustful editors should profit by this experience. The Columbia, S. C., Light indulge in the following outburst against a prevalent practice in South Carolina and other parts of the South: Why young Negroes or whites would want to stalk around on the farm and in the streets with pistols in their pockets is a mystery. It's cowardly and shows a murderous heart against mankind in general. The Legislature should make the penalty six months on the gang for every man systemaring a pistol without license and against the law. Much of the homicide tendencies common among all classes in the south is due to this practice, of "tough a gun." The effect of the Sullivan Law in New York State seems to be the restitution of carrying weapons to the professional gunmen and law-breakers. Whenever the penalty the South Carolina editor calls for would improve conditions in the south is justified. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

To yield to the impulse and call it nonsense, as we are tempted, is but an admission of ignorance. For with all its inhibitions, stilted traditions, and arrested development, it has features of beauty, and the art quality of a high degree organization. And so it is so hope that some Chinese will be willing with his own artistic sense and right scholarship has done in New York for his own racial Negro music. "There is much of delicate rhythm of charming melody, and, of exotic cadence, and even of dramatic composition, which would be most interesting to Western hearers if it could be interpreted or musically translated by some Chinese musician of Mr. Brielegle's talent and dual qualification. It would be necessary for him to have familiarity with both the racial spirit and technical and also the cemens and spirit of our accepted Western art in order to be able to appreciate it in Chinese music may well be to as something more than a laughing stock based on bewilderment. We, at least, should approach it with some feeling of respect, and indeed reverence, as being a striving through the many centuries for the same high ideals which we with different idiom hold so dear." teaching session.

For some time efforts have been made by film promoters to secure possession of the home of the Lafayette Players, but not until several days ago was the offer sufficiently flattering for Mr. Brown to capitulate. The Lafayette Theatre will close Saturday, July 31st. The new owners plan to make extensive repairs before reopening. The future activities of the Quality Amusement Corporation are in no manner affected by the disposal of the Layette Theatre by the Elite Amusement Corporation.

THE LINCOLN THEATRE William A. Brady's pictured production of *Life* based on Thompson Buchanan's stage success, vaulted on in shape at the Lincoln Theatre, on Lincoln. An excellent sample of the melodramatic stories which were all the tape some years ago, "Life" has qualities which should make it quite capable to all classes of motion picture tape. One watches the vain struggle of an innocent man accused of crime to escape the fate that measures him with tremendous interest, and when his faithful wife, after many traumatic incidents, succeeds in freeing him from legal execution, ad brings the guilty ones to justice, one leans back and frankly admits his joy at her victory. The picture is well produced and the direction was excellent. Unusually clever players including Jack Mower, Airline Pretty, Nita Naldi, Red La Roque and J. H. Gilmore have the principal roles. The heart interest and appeal of the story manifest themselves with convincing force. BASEBALL RESULTS BASEBALL RESULTS Bacharach Giants Lose to A. B. C.S.

BIG BOXING BILL AT 15th REGIMENT ARMORY The popularity of the mixed boxing bouts at the Fifteenth Armory was demonstrated on Friday, night, July 22, when several thousand fans turned out to see last week's program. The audience was about equally divided with white and colored fans. A large number of the white fans were from the 69th Regiment and the 9th Coast Artillery, and were anxious to see their representatives win. The program consisted of five bouts. The first out was between Joe Kern of the 69th Regiment and Young Joe Rivers of the 15th Regiment. This bout had to be discontinued in the second round, because of the poor condition of Kern. The second bout of the evening was between Sergeant Marshall of the 15th and Young Morrow of the 9th Coast Artillery. Although Marshall was outpointed by Morrow he put up a game fight, and both fighters received a big ovation from the faus. This bout was four rounds. The next bout also of four rounds, was between Barney Williams of the 69th Coast Defense and Little Jack Johnson. Little Jack outpointed his opponent in every round, and as the judges awarded him the decision, his namesake, the original Jack, came in and was given a rousing welcome by the fans. Johnson was introduced to the fans by Ben Rosenthal, who gave several instances of how Johnson had been a friend to white Americans while abroad, and declared that Johnson was not only a great fighter but was also, a great American. In a short address Johnson thanked the fans, for their welcome, and after declaring that he had paid his debt to society for his mistake, he stated that he was ready and willing to meet any heavyweight boxer in the world but would prefer to fight with Dempsey. To secure this bout with Dempsey he said that he was willing to donate one half, of his share of the fight money to the wounded soldiers of the World War. Amid a thunderous applause, he left to attend the reception in his honor at Manhattan Casino. The first long bout of the evening was between Jackie Moore and Johnnie Duffy, and lasted the full twelve rounds. Moore outpointed Duffy in every round, but was unable to knock him out. Both fighters put up a fine exhibition, and were loudly applauded at the end of the fight. The last bout of the evening only six rounds, although it was scheduled for ten. Kid Rash, the bantam-eight champion of the fifteenth, battered his opponent, Joe Paul, so that his second threw the sponge in the ring to save his man from a knockout in the sixth. Four Rounds—Joe Kern of 69th Rgt. (153 lbs.) vs. Young Joe Rivers, 15th Rgt. (133 lbs.) Discontinued in the second round. Four Rounds—Sergeant Marshall. 15th Rgt.

Timekeeper, Scotty McDonald. JACK JOHNSON Looking the picture of health and wearing his famous smile, Jack Johnson arrived at the 125th street station, of the New York Central-line about 10:30 on Friday morning. He was met by his friend, Dick Ellis, and a citrens' committee of which attorney J. Frank Wheaton was chairman and master of ceremonies. Several thousand Harlemites also greeted him at the station, and LemoX and Seventh avenues were crowded with those eager to see him as he drove up to Manhattan Casino. He arrived at Manhattan Casino shortly after eleven o'clock, and after shaking hands with a large number of friends, gave the newspaper men a short interview, in which he stated that he had never been in better condition and that there was no man living whom he thought could help him with the gloves. Johnson further stated that while he came to New York primarily to see his many friends here, he intended to seek a match with the champion, Jack Dempsey, at the earliest possible date. In the afternoon Lenox and Seventh avenues were again crowded with people expecting to see the parade in Johnson's honor, but the parade did not materialize as it had been planned. But in the evening the largest crowd ever assembled at Manhattan Casino attended the reception in its honor. The invitation given him at Manhattan Casino showed that if he was a hero to many while championing he is now considered a martyr by these same people and many others. He spoke at Manhattan, and also at the Fifteenth Regiment history, where the fame observed him for Ned Gourdin of Harvard Jumping 25 Feet 3 Inches H Continued Trefoil Last Pape having set a new record. Satu's season, and he made a supreme made a perfect leap at a slight crowd in the stadium seemed to widely cheered when the distance and many finished out to congrat the impossible and by so doing Harvard, and to the Negro race.

Here certa and more too—of marked indivi may the best man win." Gourdin is one of the most attended one of our white unive having set a new record. Saturday was his last opportunity this season, and he made a supreme effort to achieve his goal. As he made a perfect leap at a slightly higher elevation than usual, the crowd in the stadium seemed to scent an unusual effort. He was widely cheered when the distance had been measured and announced, and many rushed out to congratulate him. He had accomplished the impossible, and by so doing had bought honor to himself, to Harvard, and to the Negro race. All of the metropolitan dances were oud in their praise of this feat performed by Goudin. The New York "Tribune" said editorially: "Of the performances of the college athletes at Cambridge that of Ned Gourdin of Harvard shines out. Besides winning the 100 yard dash he broke the world's record for the running broad jump, which has stood for twenty years, with a leap of 25 feet 3 inches. Gourdin is a Negro. Here certainly an instance of race equality, and more too—of marked individual superiority. 'Fair play and may the best man win.'" Gourdin is one of the most popular athletes that has ever attended one of our white universities. nearly five minutes. Jack Johnson has already received many flattering offers to appear at amusement resorts, and is said to have signed a contract for a large sum to appear at Happyland Park, from July 25th until the 30th. He is in the city for an indefinite time, and is expected to sign a contract to meet Harry Wills in Brooklyn in a few weeks. This seems to be the only fight open to either of these fighters, and it is expected that should Wills succeed in defeating Johnson, his chances for a match with Dempsey will be greatly increased; but should Johnson defeat Wills he will have eliminated the only Negro boxer who had a chance with Dempsey, without increasing his own chances for a championship fight.

Clarence Sherman scored fourteen, the greatest number of points, at the annual field and track meet for the members of St. Christopher Club at Macomb Dam Park on Sunday, July 24th.

N.:Y. Jack Johnson Not To Box in N Y. Following the course of the New Jersey Boxing Commission the boxing commission of this state decided that Jack Johnson will not be permitted to box in New York state. It is expected that Massachusetts will take the same attitude so that it now looks as though the proposed Johnson-Willson will take place in Denver, Col., or in some other western state. Johnson's chances of whipping Wills are very slight, but even if he were to defeat Wills he would never be allowed a chance to regain the championship. On the other hand, Wills records a clean living, temperate fellow outside the ring, and his absence as a fighter is causing more people each day to turn to him as the logical contender for the championship, and for him to defeat Johnson will do much toward increasing his chances for a championship bout.

The "been here," member of the litchi Burna's "Felon Fleet,"—the old wicked hunting prison,—with its wiles, dungeons, its branding areas, wires wired and lead-tipped cannons, punishment bells of jackets, memorials and coffins, both, "whose pursuit was whose flesh had been taken in the nine tailed whip, was killed in water or furred, was killed in the other of the cruel- whips, was killed in the devil's strive—this ship, one new, old, old, lies in New ark, an enquent testimony to man. in the town when England departed to take her unfortunate victims to the law, this ship was bound in the fleet that carried them in England and Tasmania, under cen- dar laws that sometimes more than one cargo would be saved. H. J. An Object Lesson. THIS SHIP IS A LESSON. Now we look at it and shudder trial to get the lesson, because we need the thought as an excuse for the much better in this case. We are not unaware that generation of En- glishmen in 1790 set about these below the steam vessels, also thought they were better—better than Span- ial imagination and better than Nero, in their form and pay. So we ask our people look upon this hirsute ship of one hundred years ago and ask, "How much better we are?" and they congratulate the selfs, and right there. And they miss all the good that this voice and vision of the past must do them. The horse-sense around them is a MOW NURSE AND MORE AND MORE WE MUST NOW WE THINK WE WILL NOW WE THINK we can see now that these hirsute men were much more brutal than ever dreamed themselves to be. Such a thought as this would be called battery and self-congratulation, but to self-examination and attempt to change and progress. Prison Camps are Modern Mills. Arkansas right down to the actual place, that was practiced on the day to break the spirit" of the convicts and the inmates is practiced with the land. There is one limitation in that day it was done by the function law; now it is formal law, but it is done. The camps of Georgia and Missouri duplicate nearly all the believed to be in the instrument in this ship. In our children have seen the "convict bearer" on the roads of Arkansas, swimming in a trap with brass tacks and beating the bare and pro- vince of the black prisoners who might of all his muscles, have seen them treat a white person the same way. We hocked when we look at the success," and we know that the captor of 2000 A. D. will be seen he looks at us. H. with this old been sailing all over the as a lesson to man argument for prison re- bombs, and we are now more prepared in reading the "Institution," that have been written in George Smith's book who have vaulted the ship. One of these is from the Government of Virginia, and another is from the Government of Louisiana—and these are both of these are merely aggregating interests in how much later we are—both Louisiana and Virginia have a Jim Crow Car system, which is one of the most exquisite contrivances of uterace ever set up in the history of the world. Through Louisiana they would require a black man traveling, three or four nights all the way up Ete Poe to Charleston TO SIT UP ON HIS BACK BONE for the whole time and distance—and this they require by both law and public opinion. The one important difference is that those fellows who were required to sleep in straight jackets on the "Success" were legally condemned of crimes and misdemeanors, while the Louisiana-Virginia torture is directed against men, women, children and babes, thousands and millions of them, who have never committed any offense against any law. And we have seen some of the crimes of that section, where men drag a ball and chain as they labor on a "rooc pile" at almost useless work, and where they wear spiked gyes on their legs when they sleep or toil. The South's Lynching Parties 'And, besides, Virginia and Louisiana parts of a section of the world where human beings, uncondemned of crime, may be roasted alive, beginning with their toes; to make the enjoyment "last" for the tortures. In Mississippi which is hard by Louisiana, they hung a man to a tree, alive, and built a good fire under him, and when they had fun, lowering him for a little while into the fire and then pulling him up, lowering him, and raising, cooking his feet and scorching him a little and gradually burning the life out of him. AND THIS WAS DONE, NOT CENTURY BEFORE LAST, BUT LAST YEAR!' We must face the truth: men can develop a taste for CRUELTY as they develop a taste for other things, for olives, for tobacco, for cussing, and for gambling. The Inspector-General of the old ship "Success" was an artist in cruelty. He loved it, studied it, dreamed about it, planned it and played it. He was a human being, this John Price, and he turned human-devil—and when he came too near to his vets as they worked in a quarry, thirty-two of them slew him with their picks and shovels and other implements, for which many of them were executed. But they drew the attention of the British Parliament, and after an investigation the "ocean hells" were ordered sunk. What is going to happen in the accumulating horrors of our American Cones?

Brooks, was the speaker at the morning service and delivered a very powerful sermon which will-long be remembered by his hearers. Text—Job, 19th chapter and 25th verse. Theme:—The experimental value of a religious life. In the course of his able remarks, Dr. Brooks said that no man can develop who holds colorless views upon things essential, strong character is one of the most essential requisites of a religious life. He asserted that the world hungers for the truth. The world richer and furthur life of God is found by seeing it for itself and the strongest proof of the existence of God in that He answers prayer.

Pastor Bolden asked the question if in the great world questions have men been faithful in the little things? In the economical things? In religious things? In the love of mankind? God's world begins with the little things, the atoms. The big things take care of themselves.

THORAS New Orleans, La.—Dutgatus leaving here for the Buffalo, N. Y., meeting of the International Longshoremen's Association, July 11th, expected that some action will be taken by that organization to have the American Federation of Labor understand the displeasure occasioned by the stand it announced with respect to the color line. It will be recalled that the A. F. L. at its recent meeting adopted a resolution to the effect, that it would not compel white union labor men to work with Negro union men; that the question was one for the individual unions, in places where the question of mixed labor came up, to settle between white unions and Negro unions of the place. In other words, that these really exist no effective brotherhood in the purpose and name of the federation of labor when there is work to be done and white union men want it all for themselves. vice-president and other officers of the organization have been and are today from among the Negro members. Whether the force of the justice of equality in maintenance which has been giving the Negro union a fair and square deal in long short work of the I. L. A. will all in all L. L. A.

A. is only one of some sixty some old international bodies and some fifty national unions in the American Federation of Labor, and that the tail end wag the dog. They understand and know also that the Negro unions in the I. L. A. are comparatively few in number. But the I. L. A. have long ago refused to draw the color line; in fact some of the sang "Simons please doom let his hurried past at the close of the service. Rev. Mogan assisted in the services.

She has held world horror and dreadful inigritutes beside which even the terrific stories of the Black Hole of Calcutta and the Spanish Inquisition pale into insignificance. She is the oldest ship in the world and the only convict ship left adrift out of that treasured "Phantom of Ocean Mole" which called the seven Sons in 1750 A. D. She is unchanged after all these years, nothing being omitted but her human freight and their sufferings from the cruelties and barbarities practiced upon them. Aboard her are now aboard in their original state, all the sirless dungeons and condemned cells, the wrapping paws, the monstrous, the branding fronds, the punishment halls, the hidden-tipped car-on-nine tails, the endless bath and the other manish invenions of man's brutality to his fellow-man.

But there is no doubt a strong feeling in New Orleans colored union labor circles in the L.
