PRICE, FIVE CENTS A Clearing House For Business Activities Definite Action Toward Reorganizing National Negro Business League Follows Pres. Moton's Recommendations (BY LESTER A. WALTON) The first definite step toward reorganizing the National Negro Business League and making it a clearing house for many important Negro activities, was taken at the annual session of the league, held in Atlanta; August 17, 18 and 19. Not since the death of Booker T. Washington, founder of the organization, have the hundreds of delegates returned to their respective homes to enthusiastically and optimistic regarding the league's future. Promptly acting on the valuable recommendations made by Dr. K. R. Moton principal of Tuskegee Institute and president of the league, who declared in the annual address that if the league was to become a potent force the immediate adoption of a constructive program was absolutely necessary, a special committee, made up of members of the Executive Committee, was appointed to Dr. Moton's recommendation to create form as a permanent committee. It was proposed to establish three burial in connection with the National Negro Business League, namely, on Business and Promotion, a Bureau of Public Education and Co-operation and a Bureau on Health. Negro Business League is doing would illumine the pathway of solution to one of America's great problems. Praise was heard on every hand of the thoroughness in which the local committee had perfected arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors. Some of the most active members of the committee were J. C. Ross, president; Charles A. Shaw, secretary; J. B. Wasson, treasurer; T. K. Glenn, Reunion Stock and T. W. Holmes. The session Wednesday evening was held at the City Auditorium. More than four hundred addresses delivered by Mayor James L. Key, who heartily welcomed the delegates on be- Bureau on Business Promotion The Bureau of Business Promotion has been the greatest interest and colored banks, and other businessmen expressed themselves as keen to take the establishment of such a business setting in its existence apart from Negro business. This will be made its purpose the organization to a corporation for the promotion of business enterprises among Negroes setting local capital either in launching new enterprises or extending and developing existing enterprises that have proven successful. Dr. Mason stated, in his recommendations that there be large room within the race for the establishment of certain definite lines of business for which there are a constant and growing need, as well as the repairing of shoes, the cleaning and dyeing of clothes, the operation of soda water facilities, restaurants and other food-trading businesses. With adequate financial banking it would be possible to establish a chain of such enterprises in different lines in various cities throughout the country, wherever local capital could be found and local enterprises capable of conducting the business. Big business, such as the organizing banks, insurance companies and other large legitimate enterprises are also included in the comprehensive plan, which according to the members of the Negro Bankers' Association, will secure the hearts cooperation of the eighty-seed colored banks in the United States. Bureau on Education and Co-operation The bureau on Education and Cooperation will seek to provide for short courses for successful business men who will for two weeks of each year go to some colored institution of learning where lectures will be given by colored and white men of ability and experience. In this proposed plan colored business men will be enabled to get a clearer insight in to business affairs and also profit by contact with men of larger training and influence. The bureau on Health will develop the Health Week idea. The method of operation necessary for the development of the three bureaus has been worked out, and members of the special committee have been asked to give the recommendations - prompt consideration in order that the bureaus are in a shape to function in the near future. This year's session of the league was largely attended and the addresses and客s despite the heat, were listened with marked attention. Among those in evidence were J. C. Napper, Neshad, M. Booker, T. Washington, Talkee, President C. D. B. King, Leroy; Mrs. Mary B. Talkee, Buffalo, Josiah T. Montgomery, Mount Vernon, Hutchins Ings, St Louis, R. R. Merrick, Durham; Prof. Frank L. Williams, St. Louis; Witor. Talkee, Montgomery, Harry Pace, New York; Ernest Loon, Baltimore; John L. Hot Springs, Perry, Newark, Washington, D. C.; Major Albus B. Baldwin, Hamilton, J. C. Loving, Hartman, and Dr. W. H. Ferguson, President Harding, Edith Gorman. During the session Dr. Horman and a telegram from President Harding congratulations of Negro Business League is doing would illuminate the pathway of solution to one of America's great problems." Praise was heard on every hand of the thoroughness in which the local committee had perfected arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors.

The revered Wednesday evening was held at the City Auditorium. More than five hundred people greeted and heard the principal addresses delivered by Mayor James L. Key, who heartily welcomed the delegates on behalf of the City of Baltimore and Jr. Moton. In commenting on the future of the National Negro Business League and the need of a constructive program, Dr. Moton said: "We will not minimize neither will we diminish one whit the importance and value of the inspiration which has come from the conducting of this organization; but I wish again to emphasize the importance of something concrete which, if not organized and controlled by the league, should at least have the moral support and backing of this organization. Dr. Moton also said: "The banks, instance of the business enterprises are essential to racial progress, the race problem will not be solved until the Ne- (Continued on Fifth Page) TEXAS COUNTY TO BUILD NEGRO T. B. HOSPITAL (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) Houston, Tex.-A new $10,000 unit for Negro patients is to be constructed at the Houston City Tuberculosis Hospital in the immediate future. This was decided upon at a meeting by the members of the county commissioners, city council, representatives of the Houston Anti-Tuberculosis League and the Houston Foundation, on Wednesday, July 6th. The new unit is to be erected on the western half of the city property on San Felipe near Shepherd's Dam. Plans for the new unit have been drawn and as soon as approved by Miss Aisha, head nurse, actual work will commence. The new unit is to be constructed jointly by the county and city, the county depositing its proportion in the general fund of the city and the city making a lump appropriation to cover the cost of the building. Later two new units for white patients and one for Mexicans are to be constructed on the east side of the tract near the Shepherd's Dam road, Dr. Flickwir, city health officer, suggested that at some future time a handsome joint city and county hospital be erected on this tract. The Negro patients will be just across the road on the east side of the tract about opposite the Houston College (Negro). An insurance will be by the shell road on the east side of the tract. The location is said to be ideal for such purposes being on high rolling land sloping northward toward Buffalo Bay- Houston and Harris County will have the honor of maintaining the first Negro hospital in Texas for tuberculosis patients. This hospital will fill a great need and the city and county are to be compelled on their success in this movement. NATIONAL BAPT. CONV. MEETING OF NEW ORLEANS (National on Thu. New York Ave.) New Orleans, La—An event for which the highest people of this city and State are making great preparations is the meeting of the National Hospice Chariton in New Orleans, during the first week of September. The J. L. Burrell is in charge of the hospice and has been on the go for weeks in the hospital to have care for the great gathering. He is assisted by some of the hospice's highest physicians in this meeting given by Mr. M. A. Burrell. The Ku Klux Spreads Terror in the Sout Additional evidence of the inherent lawlessness of the revived Ku Klux Klan, notwithstanding the repeated asseverations, of its imperial wizard, William J. Simmons, formerly a Methodist preacher, that it is strictly a law-abiding organization, is constantly coming to light. The activities of the Invisible Empire throughout the country occupy considerable space in the daily newspapers, and the self-constituted executioners of Klan punishments are being excoriated by the law forces and, in some remote instances, are being hunted down by legal officers of certain communities. The disclosures made by Major Bruce Craven of North Carolina, formerly head of the order in that state, and his proclamation ordering the disbandment and dispersal of the local branches, in North Carolina, aroused country-wide interest and comment. Enraged With Drink and Love, Rejected Man Tries To Kill Charles Williams, Repulsed by German Woman, Widow of Colored Man, Uses Sword on Mother and Daughter The reign of terror caused by the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in southern communities is not confined to the colored citizens, but many instances have come to light in which the victims are white men and women. An illuminating review of the situation was written by Russell J. Birdwell, a white man, and published in the New York Times on Sunday, August 21, under the heading "Ku Klux Klan Spreads Terror in the South." This article reads as follows: The Klan Spreads Terror. "For an invisible empire" the Southland is taking her medicine. The law is at a standwell - handicapped, it seems -- as justice is inked to alleged violators of the law by masked hands -- strange and mysterious figures in long white robes. "The invisible empire known throughout the South as the Ku Klux Klan, patterned in detail in laws after the Klan of the Civil War, is responsible. The Ku Klux Klan has sounded the warning. The guilty are fleeing. The innocent are being terrorized. "The Klan of olden times had for its purpose the holding down of, its Negroes in the South during the reconstruction days, that followed, the Civil War in 1865. This Klan never had for its victims persons of its own race and color. The modern Klan has specialized on the whites. "The old Klan came to an end when criminals and refugees from the law used the name and customs of the Klan to counterfeit their own acts of violence. The dissolution came in 1869, when the wizard of the Klan, General Nathan Bedford Forest, ordered it so. Klan Justifies Tarring Of Veteran and Physician But, now, each day there is the story of some one carried to the edge of a town, stripped, beaten, tarred, leathered and returned to town to be hissed at by the curious. The acts are at times denied by the Klan. Other times they go unnoticed. In many instances they have directly shouldered the blame. Enraged With De Rejected Man Charles Williams, R Woman, Widow of Sword on Mothe Mrs. Tessie Lewis, 33 years old a German woman, widow of a colored man, was stabbed three times, and her ten year old daughter, Rose, was cut across the chest, in their apartment at 203 East 97th street, at 7:30 o'clock Sunday evening, August 21st by Charles Williams, a West Indian of the same address. Williams, who is a widower occupying the apartment across the hall with his married daughter and four other children, attacked Mrs. Lewis while under the influence of liquor, following her repeated refuels to marry him. On several previous occasions he had threatened her, and had declared that he would kill her and himself unless she agreed to marry him. About seven o'clock Sunday, evening, as he came in from the drug store where he had purchased some alcohol, he saw Mrs. Lovelys on the stoop talking to two women and a man. Buried With Leisure This is paid to have erased Will Hams, and when Mrs. Lewis came up on her government she found him in the hall in front of her door. The same document was put into his possession. "The Ku Klux Klan, from headquarters in Atlanta, Ga., where it was founded, avers that it is merely of a fraternal nature. It is declared that the organization does not stand for tar and featheringers, yet at Beaumont, Tex., the Klan recently justified the tarring and feathering of Dr. J. K. Paul and R. R. Scott, veteran of the World War. It was alleged the two were implicated in the illegal operation upon a young girl. "Following the confession from the local Klan that they had committed the tarring and feathering, Colonel William J. Sinnons, Wizard of the national order, issued a sensational statement that he would have the matter investigated, threatening to give the names of the Klan to local officers and revoke the charter. The threat never was carried out. Both men were warned to leave town. Scott has left for good. Dr Paul is still in Beaumont. When on the street he appears with bodyguard. "Americanism"—that is the one word upon which the Ku Klux Klan bases its existence. All of the Ku Klux Klan stationery is printed on its own press. All its actions are carried out secretly. "On the letterhead of its stationery at Houston, Tex., is the motto: "Commemorating and perpetuating the most sacred and sublime lineage in all history." "In the upper right hand corner of the sheet is the famous fiery cross of the Klan and in the left is the mounted klansmen. Many of its mottoes that have been printed and circulated about Texas town are: 'The Umph Eyes Have Seen' "because of the Ku Klux Klan" (centered on white face). DUNCAN'S PETITIONS The petitions filed by Samuel Duncan as an independent candidate for the State Assembly from the 19th Assembly district, have been thrown out by the Board of Elections, John R.

Her little daughter ran to the window and screamed for the police, and Williams attacked her to stop her, from screaming, inflicting a slight wound across the child's chest. The woman grabbed the sword blade to save her child, and held it. until Williams' son and son-in-law, who had come up, succeeded in taking it from him. He then locked himself into his room until Detective Caputo and Dong-herty, who had been called by his sister, arrived. He was taken to the East 10th street station for the night, and later removed to the Tombs. Worunda - Not Patal. His two victims were green medical attention by the ambulance doctor from Reception Hospital. The daughter's wounds were not serious, but several wristes had to be taken in shortsounds in the arm of Mrs. Lewis.

He was a veteran of the Batt War, and the award he used was a co-warr of the war. ections of the Country in Georgia's Metropolis Harmony and Cooperation Mark Business League Session DECLINE TO ANSWER HAWKINS' QUESTIONS Critics of the action of Assemblyman John Clifford Hawkins of the 21st district in refusing to stand for renomination because of economic conditions have not given answer to the series of questions; propounded by the Assemblyman, and only one of them, John M. Royall, editor of the Dispatch, has added additional comment upon the situation. In last week's issue of the Dispatch there appeared further editorial reference to Mr. Hawkins' action, and there was also an article by a special writer, both of which made caustic criticism of the Harlem representative. Mr. Hawkins, when seen by an Age representative, said he stood pat on previous declarations and that in the absence of a specific reply to his questions there was nothing further to be said. With reference to the animadversions of Mr. Royall and the Dispatch, the Assemblyman declared that "Royall has done a lot of good work, but he has the unhappy faculty of destroying the efficacy of whatever constructive work he has done." For information of the public, and to correct misstatements that have been made concerning the Republican strength in the 21st Assembly district, Mr. Hawkins declared that in two election districts, the 15th and 20th, commonly required to have a majority of colored votes, the actual figures show that white Republicans outnumber the colored by 290. These districts lie west of Seventh avenue from 130th to 137th street, and on 141st street. COURT ORDERS HARRIS' NAME PUT ON BALLOTS Alleging that he had been delayed for some seven or eight minutes by trains in the Interborough subway. Alderman George W. Harris of the 20th district applied on Monday, August 22 to Supreme Court Justice McAvey for a mandamus to compel the Board of Elections, John R. Voorhis, chairman, to place his name on the primary ballot on September 18th as a candidate for reelection. The order was granted. Harris put in a belated appearance at the Board rooms at 12:02 a.m. on the morning of August 17th, but as the time for filing petitions expired at midnight, he found the doors locked. His petitions were refused by the Board of Elections, as told in last week's Age. The regular party nomination was awarded by the county committee to Charles Mitchell, an architect, of 110 West 137th street, who won over John B. Earl, a prominent member of the United Civic League, on Thursday evening, August 4th. Judge McAvey's order will give Harris a place on the ballot unless his petitions are found to be defective, and unless objections to that effect are filed within three days from the filing of his petitions.

Key, and John I. Eagan, a prominent white banker, spoke prior to the delivery by Dr. Motion of his annual address. Pre-Session Event. The day preceding the opening session was filled with interesting features for the delegates who had arrived early. The event of particular significance was the formal opening of the Citizens Trust Company, a new looking organization located at 176 Auburn avenue, in the very heart of the Negro business district of Atlanta, and capitalized at $250,000, with a surplus of the same amount, of which institution H.C. Dugas of Augusta, Ga., is president, and Herman E. Perry of Atlanta, Ga., is chairman of the board of directors. The evident approval of the new project was seen in the unusual interest which was exhibited by the long lines of visitors and depositors who crowded its modernly equipped offices during the entire day. In the evening a special banquet was given by the Atlanta Local League to the officers and member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League on the roof garden of the Odd Fellows Building at 20) Auburn avenue, after which a preliminary meeting of the executive committee of the national organization was held at the offices of the Atlanta Independent by the courtesy of the editor, Veronica J. Davis. Opening Session. The main feature of the opening session at Big Bethel Church on Wednesday morning, August 17, was the annual report of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Executive Secretary of the organization. Dr. Scott is the secretary-treasurer of Howard University Washington, D.C. and has been secretary of the National Negro Business League since its organization. He sketched in outline the priority of the League and its achievements from Boston in 1927 up to the present time. He referred in particular detail to the new program adopted by the League in St. Louis two years ago, which is designed to bring Negro Business League concepts into greater affiliation with each other. This provides that the League shall serve Negro business as a clearing house for collection and distribution of information data sent in by auxiliary bodies, keep the press of both races informed of race achievements in America and the world, encourage business enterprises, and establish a rating of them financially, and give publicity to improved business methods through the magazine and magazine and through the efforts of efficiency experts serving as field agents. It also provides for their advertising of the membership of local business leagues. "Such is presented as then, Dr. Scott quoted, "Business is everywhere. It has for the first time but one thing that is important to the League." the Business League to challenge and deserve the support of all interested in the economic development of the Negro people. The Welcome Adresses The League was called to order by J. C. Ross, president of the Atlanta branch Negro Business League, and alter the invocation by Key, D. H. Stanton, pastor of Central M. E. Church, he introduced Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, who spoke words of welcome on behalf of the citizens of Atlanta and also introduced T. K. Gibson, who spoke words of welcome on behalf of the Negro Business League of Atlanta. The response to the addresses of welcome was made by Bishop Robert E. Jones, of New Orleans, La., chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League. Other addresses were delivered by R. L. Smith, president "Farmers' Improvement Society, Waco, Texas" Victor H. Tulane, Montgomery, Ala.; Charles H. Jones, Winston-Salem, N. C.; J. H. Smothers, Mount Meigs, N. A.; R. R. Edwards, Starr, S. C.; and W. H. Dodd, Baltimore, Md. Officials Were Dinner Guests. At noon, Wednesday, the officers and members of the executive committee and a number of other important men were given a dinner by the Y. M. C. A. at which time R. B. DeFrantz, one of the secretaries of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A., explained briefly just why such a group should be called together. In his remarks he told of a similar dinner which was held in Philadelphia at the 1920 meeting of the National Business League out of which came the effective response to the call for the colored people to help support the work of the Y. M. C. A., mentioning that the colored people more than paid the quota allotted to them in the budget of expenses for the work in the Colored Men's Department of the Y. M. C. A. He stated that he felt confident that even greater support than last year, especially with the help and cooperation of the effective forces in the National Negro Business League would be secured. 5,000 Present at Auditorium. The Wednesday evening session, held in the City Auditorium Armory, was attended by more than 5,000 people who listened with deepest interest to the annual address of Dr. Robert R. McGinn, president of the League, and to Maya Ganey, James L. Key and John J. Eagan, Atlanta banker. Mayor Key told in detail of what Atlanta's colored business men are doing and what the City of Atlanta is going to encourage them. He spoke earnestly and approvingly of the efforts of the race in Atlanta and in Georgia to win a place in the business world. The address of President Moton was received with enthusiasm by the most mendous audience present and it was punctuated throughout by roaring pleas. After referring to the enthusiastic support given the League by the people as confirming the wisdom of continuing the organization after the death of its founder, Dr. Bogleer T. Washington, he said in par: "During the past four years we has been a great deal of discussion about the large number of Negroes beingported to be migrating to the North from this section of the country. Madam C.J. Walker Preparations If you want Beauty of Complexion and loveliness of Hair, try Mine. C.J. Walker's World Renowned Toilet Preparations. LIMA DIRECTIONS ON EVERY BOTTLE! BE SURE THIS REAL IS UNPROCEDURED little less than two per cent. These figures have led many people, to conclude that probably half of the Negroes of the country are now living in the northern and western part of the country. Race's Population Center. "The recently issued census figures, however showed that about 400,000 Negroes have left the South. Of the total Negro population, 8,912,000 or 85 per cent. are still living in the South. On the other hand, in spite of the heavy migration, only about a million and a half, or about 15 per cent, are living in the North. This means as has been so often stated, that the race problem to a very large extent has still to be worked out south of Mason and Dixon's line. "But we must keep in mind always that what affects Negroes in the South affects ultimately to a large extent the Negroes of the North. "On account of the large number of Negroes leaving the rural districts of the South, it was thought that the number of Negro farmers in the South had decreased. It is tough, however, that there are now some 30,000 more Negro farmers, than there were ten years ago in this part of the country. This does not mean that in all states there was an increase, but that when the South as a whole is taken into account, we have a decided increase. For example, Georgia has 720,00 more Negro farmers than ten years ago. North Carolina had some ten thousand more, and South Carolina some twelve thousand. "The past two years have been marked by a continued increase in property ownership by our race. In almost every section of the country the colored race has been investing in property. It is conservatively estimated that $250,000 were spent during the past year in the purchase of homes alone. Own One-Fourth of Homes Occupied. ZILL is sometimes said that we are a shiftless race. We frankly admit that there are some shiftless Negroes, but as a contradiction to the general charge, however, it is found that we now won one-eighth of all the homes we occupy in this country; that is starting fifty years ago with comparatively few homes owned, we have through our thrift and in the face of many difficulties from with in as well as from without the race acquired ownership of over 600,000 homes, more than one-fourth of our people living in homes owned either by themselves or some other member of the race. Take the state of Georgia. It is found that right here in this state that Negroes during the past year increased their land holdings by 28,920 acres. That is, in 1919, the Negroes of Georgia owned 1759,140 acres of land and one year later they owned 1548,129 acres of land valued at $90,989,549. The acquisition of city property is about as rapid as that of farm land. The increase in the value of city property owned by Negroes of Georgia in the past year was from $15,208,000 to $18,600,000 or $3,479,000. The Negroes of Georgia now own $8,628,000 worth of property which is in value $1370,000 more than the amount $548,800,000 which they owned one year ago. What is true of the Negroes of Georgia is true to a large extent of all the Southern States as well as many of the Northern and Western States. Banks and Insurance Companies . "The progress which the Negroes are making in business is of special interest. Some of the special features of this are, first, the large increase in the number of business enterprises operated by Negroes. When the Business League was established twenty-one years ago, we were operating about 20,000 business enterprises. Today Negroes are conducting more than 20,000 business enterprises. Twenty-one years ago there were only two banks, both of which have long since failed. Today we are operating successfully 81 banks, nine of which have been established. The greatest connection it is a significant fact that when the Declaration of Independence was signed there were in the new nation no deposit banks of any kind, and that when George Washington was president of the United States there were only three banks in the entire nation. Another encouraging feature of our progress is the increased volume of business which the insurance companies are doing. In the past year alone the volume of business done by the Insurance Companies increased by more than fifty million dollars. The Standard Life Insurance Company of this city, headed by Mr. H. E. Perry, as an example, during that time wrote over thirteen million dollars worth of paid insurance, and passed the million dollar mark in its assets. The other insurance companies which we operate, as for example, The North Carolina Mutual, Mr. A. M. Moore, president; the Atlanta Mutual, Mr. A. F. Herndon, president, have made similar progress. It is a pleasure also to state that we now have four regularly organized fire insurance companies; Fraternal and Realty Bodies "Many of the fraternal orders have been most successful in operating in surance departments, and in purchasing properties, oecreating very valuable properties. In this city, we have the Odd Fellows' Building Block, worth a quarter of a million dollars; in New Orleans, we have the Pythian Block, valued at over $100,000; in Richmond we have the St. Luke's' Bank, with its woman president; in Little Rock, the Mosaic Templats' Block worth over $100,000; in Hot Springs the Woodman's Union Block which is now making improvements and additions costing over $100,000. Another sign of business progress is the purchase of entire business blocks on good streets in our cities. I find that in almost every city now where there are any considerable number of colored people, they have either erected substantial and commodious buildings to house their business enterprises, or plants are being perfected to erect such buildings. We have a striking example here in Atlanta in the block on Autumn avenue and the residential blocks in West End, Irwin street and other sections of the city. I understand that the Standard Loan and Realty Company of which Reuben Black, a Hampton graduate, is president has erected more than twenty beautiful homes at a total cost of approximately $150,000. The United Investment Company a similar company has recently purchased a $50,000 building in the business district of this city and is reported to be making rapid progress under the dire tiring force of J. E. Long, and W. L. Bell. Proposed Bureau It is proposed to establish three Bureaux in connection with the National Negro Business League; first, a Bureau of Business Promotion; second, a Bureau on Public Education and Cooperation; third, a Bureau of Health. The Bureau on Business Promotion will have as its purpose the organization of a corporation for the promotion of business enterprise among Negroes, assisting local capital either in launching new enterprises or extending and developing existing enterprises that have proven successful. "There is large room within the race for the establishment of certain definite lines of business for which there exists a constant and growing need, such as the repairing of shoes, the cleaning, pressing and dyeing of clothes, the operation of soda fountains, restaurants and other food vending businesses. With adequate financial backing, it may be possible to establish a chain of such businesses in different cities in various cities throughout the country. Wherever local capital could be found and local enterprise, capable of conducting the business, "Business men in Atlanta have already demonstrated the feasibility of this kind of work through the laundries which they have established in several southern cities. Such a corporation would attract a great deal of idle capital within the race that is looking for some such avenue of investment. One banking authority has said that there is at least $10,000,000 worth of such idle funds in the hance of the Negro race in our country that might be put to productive use with advantage to the individual as well as to the race. The method of operation necessary for such an enterprise has been worked out in some detail and will be presented to the Executive Committee for its consideration. Opportunity Propaganda The Bureau on Public Education and Cooperation is designed to accept opportunities already exist that they might use for their own needs and to direct them in the better steps to be taken in using them. In this connection, I am reminded of an incident that happened a few days ago at Tuakegee Institute. A Negro farmer in the state wrote to Tuakegee for help, saying that he had farm land valued at $4,000 but numbered-with a mortgage of $1,200, which was about to be foreclosed because of his inability to meet the obligation. At once, we proceeded to put this man in touch with a Farm Loan Association which readily accepted him as a member, advanced him the necessary funds to meet his obligations and put him in the way of clearing off his indebtedness. "Here we have a case simply for want of knowledge of available commercial resources, a hardworking and thrifty, Negro farmer was about to lose the results of a long period of self-sacrifice and hard work. There are many such cases throughout our country where a better knowledge of commercial institutions and their methods of operation would not only save our people much that has already been accumulated, but enable them to make more rapid advances toward independence. It would be a laudable and legitimate service of the National Negro Business League to promote these activities of education and co-operation. "The third department would be the Bureau of Health. Such a Bureau virally exists already through the activities of the League in the promotion of the National Negro Health Week. While much has already been done in this direction a thorough organization of this kind of work with continuous activity throughout the year would greatly extend its influence and its helpfulness and constitute one of the most practical measures for perpetuating this phase of League activity upon which Dr. Washington himself laid so much stress. A Necessary Warning. "The race is to be congratulated, therefore, on the excellent business progress which it has made and is rapidly making, but may I say this word of warning? In the rapid progress that we are making, let me urge that we move cautiously, that we move wisely; that, while we must have business courage, that we must have business sense, that while we all recognize the fact that "business is business," please let us keep in mind that business may become poor business, and it may become bad business. "Do not let us in our business deceive ourselves, and do not for heaven's sake deceive the people. Let its an honest business men, set our faces like flint against all sentimental wildcat schemes, so-called business ventures built up largely on hatred, whether of race, color, creed or class. No lasting business enterprise can be built on such a foundation, whether it be class against class or race against race. Then let us make up our minds, also, whether we succeed or not that we are going to deal honestly with the public; that we will neither "water our stock" nor our conscience, that we are going to be conscientious and clean in our business dealings whether with white or black or rich or poor. Our race in the past has suffered too much through watered conscience and watered stock not only at the hands of white business men but too often at the hands of colored men asso. Value of Unselfish Cooperation "I want to urge again the importance of racial as well as inter-racial cooperation. Banks and insurance companies, dry goods stores, grocery stores drug stores and similar enterprises as well as farms, are absolutely essential to the progress of our people. It is essential that we as a race learn more and more the importance and value of unselfish co-operation. " "It is important also that we as a race keep in mind that as far as possible we help the white race keep in mind the fact that the two races will probably live together here in the South and in this country for all time. It is very important for the progress of both that they live amicably together, that we are all living in a country with remarkable opportunities and advantages for economic as well as mental and moral development; that we are in a country where in nature "every business places and only come men are wise." "It would be a very good thing for us and a people if our various organizations, religious, educational, professional, bishopless and otherwise could combine in certain fundamental needs of our people. The constitution guarantees to every man life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Security of Life and Property "The Negro in every part of America must be made secure in his life and in his property. It must be impressed on the people of this nation that the problems of races cannot be solved by lawlessness on the part of black or white, whether organized or not; that it is not fair or just to terrorize all of the Negroes in a community because of the alleged misconduct of one; that all alleged criminals should be tried by the constituted tribunals; that a race that has always stood loyally by the people of the community in which they live, as well as by the state and nation as a whole in every emergency, should be treated justly and should be accorded the rights and privileges of citizenship on the basis of merit without regard to color or creed; that democratic America, which we all love and honor, and for which many of our bravest and best gave their lives, and many more offered themselves during the recent war, should set an example to the world of what Democracy means; that it should demonstrate that the greatness of a nation or a race in the last analysis lies in its ability to be fair and just to the humblest and the poorest—sea—and the blackest, too." All Officers Rejected At the conclusion of the President's annual address, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, executive secretary, called attention to the need of harmony among the colored people of the United States and emphasized the need and necessity of there being complete harmony among all connected with the League if it is to achieve its greatest success. He, concluded his remarks by offering a motion that the rules of the organization be suspended and that the Dr. Moton be re-elected by acclamation as president of the League for another year. Dr. Motion in turn made an address of similar character and concluded his remarks by offering a motion that the rules be suspended and that Mr. Emmeet J. Scott be re-elected by acclamation as secretary. Similar motions were made by Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, and president of the National Negro Bar Association, that the rules be suspended and that Bishop Robert E. Jones, chairman of the executive committee, be reelected by acclamation. Following Mr. Howard's motion, Mrs. Booker T. Washington offered a motion that the treasurer, Charles H. Anderson, of Jacksonville, Florida also be reelected by acclamation. Each one of these motions as offered was unanimously adopted. A feature of the Wednesday evening's program was the story told by Harry H. Pace, President of the Pace Photograph Corporation of New York City, of the manufacturing of phonograph records of Negro voices by a Negro company. Mr. Pace stated that the aim of the company was to afford to Negro persons of musical talent the opportunity to have their art recorded and to open places of agreeable employment for larger number of the race. Liberian President a Guest At the Thursday morning session Dr. Scott, secretary, called attention to a telegram just received from Charles Dunbar Burgess King, President of Liberia, announcing that he would reach Atlanta for the Thursday evening session. President King, who was a companion to Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian counsel general, cordial welcome from the delegates. It was the first time for many of the delegates to see a live.

George Bernard Shaw, a British author noted for his iconoclastic flings at modern shams and pretensions, recently got under the tough cuticle of American indifference through a letter printed in a recent issue of the New York Nation. This letter was written in reply to the corollal expression of wish that Mr. Shaw should visit this country made by Oswald Garrison Vallard, editor of the Nation. The response was as follows. Dear Mr. Villard: This conspirator has been going on for years; but in vain is the net spread in sight or the bird. I have no intention either of going to prison with Debs or taking my write to Texas, where the Ku Klux Klan snatches white women out of hotel verandas and tarts and feathers them. If I were dependent on martyrs for a repuin which Gangels, I am not. I could go to Ireland. It is a less dangerous place, but from the vogue writer and much cheaper that are tragic in impression that are tragic in person, are urging me to join the United States. But was on earth if you call them my friend. Three cases are provided to show that the astonishing nature of the New York demonstrations may have been the consequence of American pride and investment but knowing the character of the writer who he professed that it may be doubled where the topic was much of a surprise. Mr. White himself has done too much in causing the hypocrisy and hollowness of the scammed democracy of American institutions to be taken unaware by Mr. Sawyer's listing sarcasm. This is not the British author's first attack on the whiminess of American pretensions in this country to control the workings of the British. He has been equal to great Britain, so it cannot be claimed that he is actuated by national prejudices. In his first book published since the war, entitled "Heartbreak House, Great Catherine, and Blackets of the War," Mr. Shaw has considerable to say about the moral in times of the war. His view of how this affected the United States is given in the following words: Yet it was in the United States of America, where nobody slept the war for the war, that the war never went out and all was reason. In European courts there was undirected allegiacy in American courts, there was taking lunacy. The newspaper accounts of the sen- tences American courts were passing on young girls and old men alike for the expression of opinions which were being uttered before large audiences in England, and the more private records of the method by which the American war loans were raised, were so amazing that they put the guns and the posthumous picture of a traitor in their own ideal for the moment. Not content with these rantous glances of the creating law the war manacles and the automatic push to abolish all our criminal guarantees of the liberty and well-being. It will be seen from these excerpts that Mr. Shaw has expressed some wrong opinions on the American way of doing things. He evidently has not reached the point of reporting them, even for the sake of the lecture returns and increased royalties on his plays and novels. As a puncturer of the shams of modern civilization through his caustic criticism and biting satire, Bernard Shaw is suggestive of his fellow countryman of an earlier period, Jonathan Swift. Those who would enjoy his productions in lighter sein should read his earlier works, such as "Androcles and the Lion," "Cashel Byron's Profession" and "The Unsocial Socialist." PELLAGRA The recent publicity given to the spread of the disease known as pellagra in the South has given rise to considerable discussion, especially in the Southern newspapers, which seek to resent the impression that the malady is peculiar to that section. One of these papers, the Richmond Times-Dispatch went so far as to assert that "for the most part the disease prevails among Negroes, who in their ignorance, know little about its prevention or its cure." This view of the matter has been taken by other indignant white Southerners, who feel called upon to refute the impression given by President Hardling's communication to the Surgent-General and the Red Cross, calling for a full and comprehensive report as to the causes and spread of the disease. Negro weekly published in Indiana gave currency to the opinion that the race was enjoying immunity from the ravages of pellagra, which belief was shared by a Richmond physician. Dr. D. A. Ferguson, who wrote that he was under the impression that the disease was one peculiar to the "acorn white man." To settle this controversy, Dr. Ferguson wrote to Dr. H. M Green of Nashville, Tenn., a recognized authority throughout the South, to whom many cases have been referred for treatment. In this reply, Dr. Green stated that there is not one total of evidence, notwithstanding the reports of government experts to the contrary, that points to starvation as the cause of pellagra. Pellagra has been known in the United States only fifteen years, and still remains exclusively a disease of the South. Referring to the statement of the Richmond Times-Dispatch quoted above, Dr. Green said. "This is far from true and if intended to suggest, as is apparently the case, that Negroes, because of poverty and ignorance, are affected, as unjust and misleading as the writer feels that President Harding's statement to be, with reference to the South. For fifteen years or ever since pellagra was recognized in the United States, I have made a careful study of its etiology, prevalence and treatment. As abuse stated, it is an infectious disease almost exclusively found in rural sections, and affects the people residing there impartially and without regard to race, color or degree of intelligence. The section in which I live, I treat hundreds of cases every year, and less than 1 per cent of those treated are Negroes; on the other hand, I have treated families of wealthy farmers; merchants, ministers, doctors and others whose intelligence and ability to obtain an abundance of wholesome food are beyond question. In my experience, no race or mixture of races, except the Jew, has escaped (it must be borne in mind that the Jew is strictly a city dweller which, rather than race, accounts for his apparent immunity), and races are affected in direct proportion to their numbers living in pellagrose sections. You note that less than 1 per cent of the cases treated by me are Negroes, and this is about the percentage of Negroes residing in the suburban or rural sections here. This would seem to effectually dispose of the suggestion that pellagra is peculiar to the Negro. At the same time it does not tend to establish racial immunity from the disease. Some authorities on previous occasions have attested the ravages of pellagra to a diet based too exclusively on corn products. While not touching this phase of the matter, Dr. Green asserts that pellagra exists in the South just as it does in Southern Europe, and has existed over there for more than 500 years. It came to America along with emigrants from Italy and Spain. Its presence has been attributed to various food poisonings, but so far no means have been discovered to combat it effectively. The proper thing for the South to do would be to welcome the aid of the National Health Service in investigating the causes and spread of this plague and seeking to cure and prevent it, as has been done in the case of hookworm. The effort to throw theodium of it upon the Negro is a vain attempt to exude responsibility. NO LAW FOR IT That was a significant judicial decision handed down by Justice Burr of the New York Supreme Court last week, when he held that "there is no law in this State which prohibits a landlord from renting his apartments to tenants solely because of the race, color or creed of such tenants." This legal pronouncement was the result of the efforts of the West Harlem Property Owners Association to prevent the infuse of Negro tenants into their section, the property affected being a group of nine apartments located on St. Nicholas avenue. Two white tenants, members of the association, applied for an injunction against the owners of the property to present them from leasing to colored tenants on the ground that the apartments were overcrowded and that their sanitary condition threatened to cause disease. The court pointed out that the remedy for the conditions complained of law in the Board of Heath, who should be notified of any sanitary violations. If the Board then did not act of its own accord the tenants might appeal to the court again for a writ of mandamus, compelling the Board to do its duty as the law required. There is a lesson in this decision for both landlords and tenants. The question of color is eliminated as a factor in the eligibility of a tenant. But overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions must be avoided as prejudicial to healthy living. This is greatly to the advantage of the tenants. Let them do their utmost to keep their apartments in a clean and sanitary condition and call upon the landlord to do his part in such repairs as are essential to this end. The New Jersey Observer defines the demand on democracy as forcing the doctrine enunciated in the preamble to the Constitution and placing humanitarian acts above those of greed and selfishness. Much is promised in the name of democracy, but the performance falls short of the measure of justice. "The Republican Pie Party" is the derisive title used by the Atlanta Independent to describe the conglomeration resulting from the after election convention of the "Lilywhitea" held in Georgia. As it was due to the cohesive power of political powers that the organization was effected, this designation was aptly chosen. VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Middleton, Advisory Contributing Editor BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

No man in the South, worthy of the name, becomes a little wearsome to listen to the when goes on to tell of an incident with which places this city in the county, Georgia. In order to make "But let us allow the New York man in its own language." It then proclaims York "Tribune" a story which runs through had, through impersonating a playball game which was in progress in New York City.

The difference between Mr. not even the whole police force of specially if the prisoner was a Negro, wouldary policeman did in New York City. ON THE UNITED STATES, had the pleasure of reprinting in the from Bernard Shaw, the great English man which he expressed his opinion all was, of course, in the Shavian vein. The rounds of the press another letter in reply to one written him by. There have often been rumors to a visit to the United States. The suite sound within the last few weeks Shaw as follows: understand a number of friends are writing time to the United States. May I say how would he should you come to us? Years The Macon, (Ga.) "News" has made a wonderful discovery, a discovery which southern newspapers make about once a month, and that is that there is absolutely no difference between the North and the South when it comes to the matter of lynching—that human nature, whether in Dixie or New England, is all the same. This time the Macon "News" picks out New York as an illustration. It begins an editorial on the subject with the following words: "It is a simple statement of the truth that the noisiest and most uncompromising denunciations of lynching come from a certain class of persons at the North. No man in the South, worthy of the name, condemns lynching, but it becomes a little wearisome to listen to these other-than-thou'r critics." The Macon "News" then goes on to tell of an incident which happened in New York and which places this city in the same category with Jasper County, Georgia. In order to make the account authentic, it says; "But let us allow the New York "Tribune" to tell the story in its own language." It then proceeds to quote from the New York "Tribune" a story which runs as follows: A man named Cavanaugh had, through impersonating a police officer, broken up a handball game which was in progress in a certain section of New York City. When one of the young men, named Brandon, questioned Cavanaugh's authority, Cavanaugh exhibited what appeared to be a police shield and arrested Brandon, striking him several times in the face. Brandon resisted and men swarmed from all directions to the young man's aid. Cavanaugh then released Brandon who was now followed by a crowd of two thousand or more men and women. Cavanaugh, becoming alarmed at the rapidly growing crowd, approached Patrolman Normoyle, the first policeman he met, and demanded protection. When Cavanaugh was unable to substantiate his claim to police authority, Normoyle placed him under arrest and the crowd, when it realized that the prisoner was an impostor, tried to seize him. Policeman Normoyle stood off five distinct efforts to capture Cavanaugh before he reached a post box and sent in a call for reserves. Mean-time Cavanaugh's clothing had been pretty well torn off him. Concluding its editorial, the Macon "News" says: "So the next time Mr. Moortfield Story or Mr. Hamilton Holt or some other New York citizen of like opinions and activities feels constrained to lecture the South on lawlessness let him pause and consider the case of Cavanaugh." Undoubtedly the Macon "News" feels that it has struck a very close analogy between New York and Georgia, but it overlooks one great big difference and it is this—Cavanaugh was not lynched. We here have not, as the Macon "News" proclaims, a case of lawlessness but we have a case of the upholding of the law. We have a case of one policeman standing off a crowd of a couple of thousand people and protecting his prisoner until he got him into the hands of the jailer. The difference between New York and Georgia is that not even the whole police force of the average southern city, especially if the prisoner was a Negro, would be able to do what one solitary policeman did in New York City. BERNARD SHAW.ON THE UNITED STATES. Some months ago we had the pleasure of reprinting in these columns a letter received from Bernard Shaw, the great English dramatist. It was a letter in which he expressed his opinion about lynching and lynchers. It was, of course, in the Shavian vein. There is now going the rounds of the press another letter by Mr. Shaw. This letter is in reply to one written him by Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard. There have often been rumors that Mr. Shaw intended to make a visit to the United States. These rumors took on such definite sound within the last few weeks that Mr. Villard wrote Mr. Shaw as follows: "My Dear Mr. Shaw: I understand a number of friends are writing to you and urging you to come to the United States. May I say how gratified we of the Nation would be should you come to us? Years "OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD. "Editor." Mr. Shaw wrote as follows: Mr. Allard: This conspiracy has been going on in the net spread to sight of the bird. I have not going to prison with Debs or taking my wife to Texax Kian matches white women out of hotel very others them. If I were dependent on martyrdom for such happiness I am not. I could go to Ireland. It is place, but then the voyage is shorter and much are right in your impression that a number of people to come to the United States. But why on earth my friends? "G. BERNARD S." Dr. Shaw wrote as follows: a conspiracy has been going on for years; in sight of the bird. I have no intention Deus or taking my wife to Texas, where white women out of hotel verandas and were dependent on martyrdom for a repu- sion. I could go to Ireland. It is a less the voyage is shorter and much cheaper. Impression that a number of persons are United States. But why on earth do you "G. BERNARD SHAW" Dear Mr. Vilardi: This conspiracy has been going on for years; but in vain is the net spread up sight of the bird. I have no intention of either going to prison with Dennis or taking my wife to Texas, where the Ku Klux Klan matches white women out of hotel verandas and tars and feathers them. If I were dependent on martyrdom for a reputation, which happily I am not, I could go to Ireland. It is a less dangerous place, but then the voyage is shorter and much cheaper. "You are right in your impression that a number of persons are urging me to come to the United States. But why on earth do you call them my friends? "G. BERNARD SHAW." This letter of Mr. Shaw's is what we might call "rich." We hope it will go all over the country, for it carries a sting that is wholesome, a sting which will be felt by even the most tough-skinned, red-necked mob leader and lyncher in the country. Shaw has an art which it would be a blessing if more writers, especially colored writers, in this country had, and that is the art of heating down with ridicule the thing which is not at all affected by any reason or argument or justice or right. We know of no writer, white or black, in the United States, with the possible exception of H. L. Mencken, who comes anywhere near Shaw in wielding this powerful weapon, for it is more a weapon than an art. In this country where hundreds of colored and white writers, too, rave against the South, H. L. Mencken gets under the skin by ridicule. And so if there were more writers who, instead of railing against the unrighteousness of lynching and other evidences of race hatred, would hold up to view the lyncher as he really is, a blood-thirsty degenerate criminal, there would be fewer men to make any defense whatsoever of what is now in some sections regarded as a pastime. The last paragraph of Mr. Shaw's letter bites deeper than anything else. He says to Mr. Villard, "You are right in your impression that a number of persons are urging me to come to the United States. But why on earth do you call them my friends?" This is too good to be wasted. We hope every southern newspaper will see it. THE TEMERITY OF MISS ROBERTSON. Miss Alice Robertson represents the Second District of Oklahoma in Congress, so one would think that she, being the only woman in such a position, would naturally regard herself as a sort of national champion of feminism. Through some things Miss Robertson said last week she not only has no such opinion of herself, but she seems to have absolutely no fear of arraying the woman vote against her, and that is more than a great many men politicians can say. In the preparations for the Conference on Disarmament the women's organizations of the country are making a great effort to have a woman named on the commission for the United States. President Harding has been appealed to and dispatches from Washington stated that he was favorably considering the appointment of a woman. Of course, such an appointment would be a great political stroke for the women voters everywhere. When Miss Robertson was asked her opinion she declared that she did not know a single woman in the United States who was qualified to serve on the commission, that if she did she would be her strongest supporter. To a reporter who interviewed her on the matter Miss Robertson said: "In the first place a member of this conference must be an expert on international law. In the second place she must be conversant with diplomatic procedure and be able to speak several languages. But most important of all, a member must be able to sit right and do little talking except when it is absolutely necessary. You show me any woman in the United States possessing all these qualifications, more especially the last named, and she is assured of my undivided support for selection on the conference mission." Of course, as soon as Miss Robertson's interview was published leaders of women's organizations immediately get after her. The National League of Women Voters launched an attack against her in which she was called "a political accident" and denounced as ignorant of women's affairs. In reply to this attack Miss Robertson said: "Negligible as what I think or say may be in this particular instance, they have evidently seized upon a statement that I did not make. I did not say 'there is no such woman,' but 'show me the woman.'" She further stated that she did not claim to represent the women of the United States but all the people of the Second District of Oklahoma. After all, Miss Robertson does give reason for pause. We believe that a great many persons who are perfectly willing that the women of the country should be represented upon the Disarmament Commission will, nevertheless, say with Miss Robertson "Show us the woman." However, Miss Robertson, perhaps, shows more temerity than political sagacity. We do not believe that there are many men politicians who would dare say what she has said regardless of their convictions on the question. A SOUTH AFRICAN TRAGEDY We learn from an issue of *Immee Zobatamdu*, a Bantu-English weekly, published under the English title of *South African Native Opinion*, at King Williamstown, of a tragic occurrence that took place last May. The editor of *Native Opinion* calls it "The Ntabelanga Tragedy." It was in the nature of a native revolt against the South African authorities and was enacted near Quemestown. Upon the refusal of the natives to surrender to the armed forces of the government it is stated that 171 were killed, 125 wounded and the remnants of 94 surrendered. As an offset to this appalling carnage, the report says "on the Government side there were two or three wounded." The trouble grew out of a quasilpolitical movement, mingled with some kind of religious sentimen., the followers of which were known as "Israelites." It was led by a so-called prophet, Enoch Mijgima, who had been made "king" of the settlement by his deluded followers, estimated to number 500 or more. An ultimatum was served upon the natives by the head of the military force sent against them. It demanded the surrender of certain witnesses in an "Israelite" murder case, who had ignited, the King's writ. Also the disbanding of the squatters on that part of the Kamastone Location, who had been called there from various places in the Union for what they called the passover. This was met with an absolute refusal on the part of the natives to return to their homes. Things were brought to a crisis by their contempt of the courts. Commissions were sent to treat with them, but they would not budge. Meanwhile a strong Government force appeared on the scene "with instructions not to shoot unless in self-defence." The account goes on: The "Israelites" on their side marshalled their taimot army and stated they would fight—not Jehovah this time. In spite of all efforts to get them to surrender they sacrificed themselves and hurled themselves against cold steel in the false belief that the guns, as they were told by "their prophet" would be tailed with water, after the Nexle "prophecy" in the 1850 war with Natives. Much execution took place from this cause. The conclusion of the editor of the Native Opinion is that there remains no room to doubt that these people were demented, and that no inquiry however searching can reveal anything. The origin of the movement is attributed to America, from which country it is alleged that "Masikiya brought the sect." The identity of this individual is not further explained, nor is the part of America from which he is supposed to have carried his doctrines specified though it is likely that the United States is meant. It is further stated that the main object of the movement was to drive the white man from the country. The South African editor fears that it is not the only movement of the kind in the country and suggests that if the government were wise they would closely watch movements with this "root of bitterness" before they grow to such great proportions. It must be admitted that a movement like the one referred to was misguided and incapable of having any prospect of success in overcoming the established government of the South African Union. It does seem that some steps ought to be taken to prevent such bloody sacrifices in the future. The Santa races through the South African Native National Congress held at Bloemfontein last April, claimed the right of direct representation at the Constitutional Conference of 1922, by their own people, to be elected by themselfs in order to defer their political interests. Some of the political organisations in protesting order to prevent further aggression on the natives' rights. They should have sufficient educational facilities to prevent them from following, the lead of such prophets as the one whose teachings led to this tragedy of Ntabelanga. Left to themselves, a certain element of the Boers and English in South Africa are capable of provoking just such outbreaks in order to provide a pretext for slaughter and extermination. The Western Outlook, published at Oakland, Cal., printed a confidential circular letter sent out by the secretary of the Oakland Real Estate Board in which the sale of residence property to colored people, Chinese and Japanese is sought to be restricted. The following resolution was embodied in the circular: "Resolved, by the board of directors of the Oakland real estate board, that the sale of residence property to and for the occupancy of persons other than of Caucasian race, by which such persons are introduced into the districts not previously occupied by them, is disapposed by the Oakland real estate board and all brokers are urgently requested not to negotiate such transactions without first securing thereto the approval of the board of directors of the Oakland real estate board." Of course, such a resolution has no binding effect on the brokers and those anxious to arm a commission will disregard it as readily as the members of the same tribe in the East. In the present embarrassing political situation in Virginia, brought about by the attempt of the "Lilywhites" to eliminate the Negro from politics, the Richmond Planet sees three courses open to the colored people of the State. It says: They can support the Democratic nominees, which will be one whole vote against the anti-Negro Republican ticket. They can nominate a ticket of their own and support it, which will be one half vote against the anti-Negro Republican ticket. They can stay at home on election day which will be one half vote against the anti-Negro Republican ticket. At all events the Planet is of the opinion that the colored brother has learned enough sense to know how to strike back, and with friends in both the Republican and Democratic parties he will not lack for advice. Let him strike hard and use the most effective means to put the "Lillywhites" out of the running. According to the Philadelphia Tribune, the race in that City of Brotherly Love has experienced a sudden awakening as to its own strength along every line of modern business and professional activity. The outcome of this is shown in the following lines: The white banker no longer has a monopoly in collecting, storing and using our money. A large portion of it now goes into the banking houses conducted by our own people. Constructors and architects plan and build our modern business houses, miles and miles of attractive and comfortable homes in the best residential section are secured by purchase from the most reliable colored realors to be found anywhere. Barriers, profound in the learning of the law, handle ninety percent of our tremendous legal transactions, and along every business thoroughfare in colored communities colored business men are forcing out that element of the other race that has had a monopoly on our trade. Philadelphia is to be congratulated on this auspicious result of racial cooperation. It should be an object lesson to the race in other communities. Laxity in the administration of the law, as to clauses and races of men, acts in favor of lawlessness. Territorial with the Ku Klux Klan, which is sometimes knelt against KKKers, and sometimes against the Ku Klux Klan. The Washington American writer know how many so-called leaders read the biography of Fredrick Duglass or "The Negro in American History" by Cromwell. It adds prominently Yet the failure to read such makes true leadership as possible in the failure to read the African religious leadership faults. The first class in reading of New literature will now form, with the so-called leaders" in the first class. Nevar An Action Without Cause Editor of Tarr New York I have read very carefully the highly editorial of Contributing Editor Eleanor Webb Johnson in *TIME* New York on August 13th, on the resignation of Major Bruce Craven, grand daughter of the Ku Klux Klan in the State of Iowa Carolina, and in regard to the doubling order by Major Craven of the branch under his jurisdiction in the State of North Carolina. There is something very significant in the issue of Major Craven, and which has leading strings to the councils of the war party in America. While in Haiti, as a missionary in African Methodist Episcopal Church, have been schooled into the work of this same war element, and having issues similar in kind when a great issue was at stake that would have them with the other members of the diplomatic corps. As a result of the training, I have been able to train every act on the part of our rater and on the part of other rater with a prophetic eye, and in being bearing upon the future, in so far it might help or hinder our race progress. As art evidence, you will recall that there was published in Tit. New York Agr. an article from my pen where I prophesied that Mr. Gompern, under President Wilson's administration in opening the door of union labor in Negroes, was a purely political man that carried with it no assurance of permanency; and that at the opening time the excuse would be made that though the Negro was in the U. Gov. Gompern, other officials could not legally control the employment of Negro union men on an equal affiliated basis with white union men. It is just of late that my word of prophecy has come true. Now, in this instance of the Klu Klux Klan, it appears to me that the intentions for this disclosure of the Invisible Empire of the Klu Klux Klan has been in progress for some time following the desire and offer of some paper firm (Who, and what motives back of the firm to offer?) for some such utterance of the order. Is it not likely that the Disarmament Program is responsible for the destruction of a disclosure, and leading to denunciation, as well as the order on the part of the United Nations. Surely, some such exposures made in advance of the visiting visitors of Europe and Asia, Negro skeleton of Tulsa, Dallas, and Mississippi may be created in this show of changed sentiments better. No idea must be given visitors that such a hurtful secret organization was in destruction unto the safeguard national government of the Negro might not be found any exept the Negroes own thirst and most unjustified up the NEGRO QUESTION at the Disarmament Board. Department shall also include the threat the white South of its warlike goncer and unlawful abolition of the political and industrial prosecutions the Negro. It should mean the life of France politically and America militarily in their exercise of national liberties and social prosecutions the Haitian people. If all this disclosure is not a criminal move, let the government at Washington, and the Attorney General, the United States, order the imposition of the national organization of the Imperial Empire of the British Empire in the United States, which such an admission of its nature poses against the safety and security of the Negro race in America, against the property and interests of American Republic, as rightful accusers to the whole S.

Fla., in song recital, were properly called a concert, at Bethel U.S. Church, West 12nd street, New York City. The concert was seated at 8:30 and the concert may have begun on the occasion the participants were ready. We are assured that Mrs. Bress and her accompanist, Mr. Grant, were sitting outside for the other talent. We began as a working race of performers somewhat executable for delivery in thirty minutes, because they were various businesses in the dot. But one hour's delay of assisting talent is worthy of Because of absences, the program was revised and little Miss Artis sang Eleanor and simple manner Brenda Eleanor and simple manner work "The Deacon's Miss Artis. His reading was received with enthusiasm Miss Knight, praised with the resolution of Miss which the audience seemed to be in awe. The Sunchild, children whose name I failed before, was the next selection. At last Mrs. Heard made her New York bow. The singer wrote in appearance and at home in next stage. Her voice is a mixture of equal height and depth, and valuable combination was evinced Heard's startling fortissimo Mascal's symphonic and sym- phonic of the mezzo voice. Her were Millard's "Waiting", "Brian Song" by Goddard, and Porter Simmons's "Dream". Her second group of Mascaler's "For all Eternity and Arditi's "Ecstacy." In the three numbers Mrs. Heard ex- tended the vocal attainments, Mas- calus her chef doubles of Mascalus understand that Mrs. Heard was training a voice, her future progres- sion settled with interest. A more estimate of her work would be available at this writing. Mary Jackson Stewart was at her and her many admirers demonstration to her art by him and prolonged applause.

The men went big and along were repeatedly enriched. Kate Walker accompanied her in her usual careful and wise.

The audience seemed pleased, judging from their personal compliments. Harvard Business in Recital Married Pupils in Boccal The first concert by pupils of the Kemper Harrad Music Studio, 7 Tarmall street, Atlanta, Georgia, was given in Atalanta, Georgia, on August 11, at 4:45 p.m. A feature of the occasion was the appearance of a children's orchestra of twenty-seven pieces, including eighteen violinists, viola, cello, bass, two clarinets, two cornetts, trombone and drums. These performers gave six numbers during the recital and their work was highly commended by the audience. Winston Alphene Wilkens played violin, Winnipeg Alphene Wilkens played drums, Edwin King, Leon McGharity and Dolly Latimer. Two pianoforte solos were played, Iveydele Moses and Emory Moore being the performers. A second program is to be rendered at an early date. Marian Anderson at Aubury Park. Wednesday evening, August 10th, was an oceanic concert at Aubury Park. New Jersey. At that time the senior choir of St. Stephen's A. M. E. Zion Church presented Marian Anderson of Philadelphia, centralio, in a summer musical festival under management of Paul G. Prayer, formerly of New York, Auburgh and Philadelphia. The affair was a church chapel pipe organ fund, and Eugene R. Haysen, organist, directed the choir in a number of Negro spirituals. According to the Ashbury Park Earnest Press, an audience assembled to hear Miss Anderson "that jammed the Young People's Temple in Ocean Grove and overflowed into the streets." In speaking to Miss Anderson's singing, the Earnest Press commented as follows: "Miss Anderson was advertised as a central but her range extends well into the entire register. Throughout her entire career she has sung on tones full and rounded." Her curation was perfect, every word being distinguishable and free from any touch of dialect. Following each appearance Miss Anderson was forced to encore and at the close of her last group of songs the audience demanded two encore before they would permit her to sing the last number on the program. "Old folks at home, the verses of which were sung by the chorus by the choir. The singer by the encore "The Cuckoo," which was given with a finish and skill that delighted an audience containing many who have heard the song sung by singers whose names are internationally famous." Miss Anderson has evidently changed accompanists, as Miss Marie Holland of Philadelphia was at the piano instead of William L. King. This is the first time since I have known of Miss Anderson, and I have never heard of King has been at the pianoforce. Of course, there may have been other times but they have not come within my ken. At that, it may be that other engagements interfered with King's being at his accustomed post of duty. It is to be hoped that Miss Holland measures up to and furnishes this talented young singer with adequate support. Miss Anderson's program included her old standup, "Adobe forests" by Tachikowsky, and three groups of Negro composers, "The Grey Wolf" and "My Lord, what a morning" (Burleigh), "Song of the heart" (Johnson), "Mammy I (Cook)," "I'm glad trouble don't last away," (Lytt), and Colledge Taylor's Song of Sun Shine (Shay) day on still slumber. "Ibou hast bewitched me," "The art risen, My Beloved," and "This is the Island of Garden." The choir under, Mr. Hammys, sang the Spirituals "with a familiarity and enthusiasm that only members of that race can interfere into them." Miss Dora Hodges was at the piano for the choir numbers.

In referring to the large number of secret and fraternal organizations among the colored people, Dr. Moton said: "Friends, we have every reason to be proud of the splendid achievements of our fraternal bodies. A few of our people are inclined to ridicule such organizations, but I know something of the work of such organization, the Masons, Gold Cells, Pythians, Moaies, Woodmen, S. Lukes and others." Turning to Mayor Key, Dr. Moton said: "Mr. Mayor, the reason the Negro supports his fraternal organizations is because in their meetings, they are permitted to VOTE. Sometimes when your cook must go, to her lodge, she leaves your kitchen and goes. Her organization is the nearest approach which many Negroes have to real democracy. The reason I belong to several them for myself and I know that the highly systematized work of many of them is simply remarkable." Among the prominent members of the race to speak during the sessions was President King of Liberia, who spoke of their rich resources of Liberia and the golden opportunities for developing the country. He said that at the next session the league in all probabilities a mentor would be read on Business Opportunities Offered by Labs The Trip to Tuskegee Early Saturday morning two coachloads of visitors went to Tuskegee where the day was pleasantly spent.

KU KLUX KLAN SPREADS TERROR IN SOUTHLAND (Continued From First Page) Klan. "We Don't Want Mutilate Children," White Men Must Stay Away From Negro Quarters. "Gambers and Bookkeepers Must Go," and "We Don't Want Any Negro Bellops." "Many and more of these signs apl methods are horse by the Klansmen during their parades, which are always of unexpected size. Failure to do so is followed by the trial before the boiling pot of tar and the administration of feathers. "A high-powered automobile dashes up to the curb. White hooded and robed figures with the insignia of the Klansmen on the left breast spring up upon their victim. Seizing him they throw him to the car, then vanish into the darkness. "These are the steps that prelude his sure and certain trial in the light of a bonfire at the edge of the town. The man is told the offense fro his punishment. Then he is stripped naked. He is placed on the ground while the Klansmen take turns at heating him with a wet rope. He is wiped off his boots then he is rolled in feathers. He is tossed back into the car and thrown out at some prominent corner, in town. Arrests have been made in only one case of the fifty-seven of recent days. This was warrant Waro, Tex., where the case against the man never has been pressured. The Klans activities opened in Houston in 1915 and were attired in their uniforms paraded through the main streets bearing innumerable banners. This was the first sign of the Klan. Since then its activities have increased with each day and night. "The first act of the Klan in Houston was the tarring and feathering of B. I. Hobbs, a prominent lawyer. Three days before he had received a warning from the man he tote leave town. Heugt was the man he sent all the feathers of the threat letters. On the night February 5 he was kidnapped from his apartments and taken to the edge of the town. His hair was clipped and he was tarred and feathered. He was accused of being 'too friendly with Negroes.' Hobbs left town and went to Alvin, a small town near Houston. Two days later he was taken to the edge of that town in daylight, his car was turned over and he was ordered to no further direction and not to stop until he was out of Texas. He never had been heard of since. "Following the tarring affray the Klan sent $500 to the Young Women's Christian Association for the homeless girls who had been burned out by a fire." Negro Ballhop in Dallas Branded With "K. K. K." "Houston experienced the terror and excitement of several other kidnappings and tarrings and then the scene shifted to Dallas. A bellboy in the Adulphus Hotel, the prided hostess of the South, taken care of the hotel by masked men, hit him behind the ear beating K. K. K' in silver nitrate. He was brought back to the hotel and turned loose in the lobby. Many guests crowded around the branded Negro. He was charged with intimacy with a white woman in the hotel. On May 21 Dallas witnessed the largest parade in the history of the Klan in the city on Saturday night and the streets were crowded the great white lights along Elm street, a city thoroughfare, went out. With only a few lights here and there from shop windows piercing the darkness, the street was enveloped in a mass of jet Down the long street came the ghostly parade of the Klansmen. The fiery cross, at the head, illuminated the way, the street was filled with 200 persons was still as the white crowd, mysteriously. Behind the bearer of the fiery cross came the long line of aliens men. Every twentieth-man carried a banner with an inscription. "The first one read, The Invisible Empire. Others were: Here To-day, O'Cedars. O'Cedars white, His Supremacy. Here Weather. 100 Per Cent. Humane. Pure Womanhood." Dallas Must Be Clean. "All Pure White, 'For Our Mothers.' 'For Our Sisters.' 'For Our Daughters.' Parasites Must Go.' 'Gamamatsu.' Graffers Must Go.' Our Little Gifted Decorates Must Go.' The Guilty Must Pay. And The Right Will Prevail." The parade had formed inside the Majestic Theatre. Dallas' million-dollar showhouse. It covered a loop of six blocks start and a block wide. The procession its moral effect on Dallas hotels had been practically clear of vagrants and bloody bodies. "After this came the shipping of Edward Engers, an overseas veteran, on the night of June 13, because he was obliged to have mistreated his former wife, who had remarried fifteen months before he fell victim to the Klan's wrath. Since newspapers have editorially played upon Engers and much indigent citizens, some of the Klan have denied the attack upon them. Some admit it. "Engers was at work 1. in our station here, on the evening of June 13 when we came into the place.

C. Terrill, missionary to the burgundy and umpire of the Foreign Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, just returned to this country. Mr. Terrill was formerly-stationed at Gukuli Mission, Inhambane, Portuguese East Africa, where he was nominated for four years, reaching Christianity and civilization to the native bandun of those parts. When it was found that so many of the natives, thereabouts signed contracts with the labor agent of the mining companies and went to Johannesburg to work by the mines, the Board of Trustees of the mining company, Mr. Terrill move there to loot after the thousands of Negroes from his mission territory. Conditions in Mining Compounds. For eighteen months previous to his return to this country, Mr. Terrill studied conditions in the mining compounds, being given permits to enter the most restricted places by the British managers who are very amenable, he says, to suggestions for improvement. Mr. Terrill peaches in three countries: New York, where he has managed than 15,000 Negro men. Three men are gathered from the far parts of the interior, where they left their families in their native villages. Back in their natural state they have seldom won a white man, know nothing of civilization, medicine, and the ordinary rules of hygiene. They are not immoral, according to Mr. Terrill, who has graced a high respect for the native code of minerals as practiced in the past. The native people are particularly honest and straightforward and lead clean lives in accordance with their conventions. "The young men who sign a contract to work in the mines are a federal education as well as a vast amount of worldly goods before they are through," says Mr Terrill. "They have peldon been more than dozen miles from their village before and then they are the sea-shore, where they are given medical examinations by white medical men form Europe. Any sick are sent back to their homes or treated until recovered before being sent to the mines. By steamship they are transported to another coast station where they are again examined to determine the exact were waiting in an automobile. The engine was running. "Throw him in!" one of them shouted. "Engers attempted to back away from the men. A pistol was pushed in his side. He was threatened with death if he yelled. He was thrown into the water. Threats were made by men and the men while Engers was being carried from the town. "I sledled for help when they carried me into the Fair Grounds," Engers said after the heating. "One of them hit me in the face and another one put his thumbs into my eyes. After we got away, I way I was carried to a lonely spot." "The him to the post," one of the captors instructed. "That isn't necessary," Engers an answered. "I took more from the Huns than you can ever give me. I'll take whatever's coming like a man." "Regardless of Enger's promise to take his medicine, he was bound to the post and the lash was thrown on the wall." Engers added. "Acts of violence including the tar and feather parties and beating have increased from time to time. The Khan up here and there over night. They parade in the smaller towns nightly, terrorizing the inhabitants, warning many of them to leave down as they are undesirable citizens." "Cards of the South are predating an inlegible future of strife, and perhaps civil war, if the present condition continue." "Because of the unrest and discontent manifest among adjoining as the result of the activities of the Khan, the question has come into the limelight in the Texas Legislature. Representative Wright Patman, of Cass County introduced a bill last week urging the Legislature to pass it because the lawlessness and anarchy that now enveloped the state." "The bill was defeated by a vote 51 to 49. Governor Pat Neff asked the Legislature on August 1 to institute an investigation of masked bands and secret organization in the state and to take what action necessary to enforce the law.

Good Residential Conditions "At Johannesburg the native recruits are taken to an up-to-date compound, for residence. This is a passive community surrounded by a wall of brick or stone. Inside are comfortable barracks with banks pardoned in nets about the walls, and tables with games and books in them. The command is ample accommodation, excellent facilities, which the Negroes soon learn to enjoy, sanitary kitchens where their food is prepared and dining halls where it is served to them. Their playing quarters are well ventilated, but and cold water is available at all times, and the lavatory equipment is of the best. There is a modern hospital for the sick, and the army is available. From men to fifty men are quartered together, and those of the same tribe or locality are put together so as to prevent house sickness. "The stone wall about the compound is more to keep out the degenerating influences of the white man's evaluation than to imprison the native. He is allowed to go out at reasonable, regular intervals, with a permit signed by the native, and to take the same actions to keep him from getting into the vice dens. The day when the native who went to work in the ruins became infected with disease and degenerated morality and physically because of contact with organized vice, is gone forever. The man enjoys a shelter restricted only by the compulsion of the compound, and every one who comes in must have a permit which states the purpose of their visit. No Drunkenness This is to keep out drug and higher peddlers. Only once in eighteen months among these 15,000 Negroes have I seen one of them drunk. Then I saw two together. These men free under condition men in the regular army. The abuse necessity of good living conditions for them has been recognized as a business factor by the mining companies, and they are most liberal in their desire to promote the physical, mental and moral condition of their workers. The day has been made for the grob labor prefers the ignorant business to the educated Christian product of the mission schools because he can treat and maltreat the former as he please. The stringent laws protecting the native, self-self-identified fact that education and Christian work have higher type of workman, have put this idea permanently out of business. "In the compounds are class rooms and chapels, where accredited missionaries and their native teachers may come and hold Christian services on Sunday and school during the week in the men's lecture hours. My work there is three compound companies day school for more than 1,500 men from Portuguese East Africa, who are taught in their native language and in the Portuguese also. These men pay the equivalent of twenty-five cents a month for tuition, and this money goes to make up the salary of the native teachers who assist me." Back at Inhambane the Mission has a printing plant where the best literature is being translated into the native languages and the men at the missionaries and the men of orders. They receive from $15 to $9 per month and save a large part of their earnings. Return Home With Wealth. When their contract expires many of them earmen to their native villages with wealth beyond their former dreams. They take with them to the both country and the local communities of civilization. The average Negro's possession at this time consists of a trunk filled, with things unseen of back in his village, but very necessary to him now. An armchilla, walling stick, frying pan, armchair wash basin and bucket, folding chair, total, watercooler, hat-shaped collar, reindeer shirts, comb, hair mirror, hair heads, brooch, waist and dresses for his sisters and the woman he wants to marry. He has money enough to build better type of house than the other ones, furnish it with some conveniences, and live on a higher plane of existence. He becomes the village scribe and wise man. If he is a Christian, and he often is, he teaches others what he knows, and has a widespread influence upon the whole village, raising its level of paternity and general med of living. He people, carrying in them many things and methods, they never knew of. Northern Are Fire and Clean. I have seen such instances in the push country, time and again. The native today is profiling by the commercialization of Johannesburg. He is being brought into contact with the cleanest side of civilization, and is becoming conscious of his place as a big factor in the development of his continent. Many of his race are becoming foremen in the mines, and are increasing numbers staying through their contracts with the companies. The native Negroes of the interior are fine, clean fellows, and the life they lead in the mine compounds is essentially the kind to develop their race along civilized lines with the decreasing influences largely eliminated. This is one of the subsidiary movements in the great advancement of the Negro race the world over. It is one that is little known or esteemed outside Africa, because it is comparatively new. We have seen that the Negro was expended on the bad side of using native labor in the mines, but that care of vice and degradation is past, and the real truth of present conditions ought to be more widely known. There is still much to be done before conditions are ideal in the mining centres, but the big problem is the lack of labor. The right principles of treatment for the native Negro laborer have been recognized and adapted, and the rest is a matter of trust and circumstance. Rigid laws protect the Negro in Johannesburg today. If he is injured seriously in the charge of this work in the mines, he must be treated with permission. A return to his home or employment. The law takes care of this specifically. From what I have seen in a year and a half in Johannesburg, I am convinced that economically the native Negro of Africa is coming into his own, and that he is the great advancement of his race in a plain, simple, strong way.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS "Put and Take", Irvin Miller's New Play, Has Its Premiere Another company of colored performers made its appearance on Broadway in New York City on Thursday evening, at the Gilded Ball, when John C. Miller put on his new vehicle, "Put and Take," characterized as a colorful musical revue, and presented by a group of good-looking girls and agile and supple young men. He plays its tenure of plot and lack of continuity will add to its being so characterful, written and shaped by Mr. Miller, with the music by Spencer Williams, and additional music by Tim Blyson and Fess Blaffield. He plays it, should be noted as a matter of record that at least two women were by other companies to whom no credit was given. The action in the "First Spin" opens with a vim and energy that is not in contained. Put One, "Wedding Day in Georgia," brings on nearly the entire strength of the company and introduces several songs that will probably be heard quite frequently. "Stop and rest awhile" by Earl Dancer and Alicia Green, assisted by the chorus, and "Wedding Bells" by the entire company have elements of permanence, while Emmerdor Authors has a possible surfeit hit in his song, "Drawn by the late Bertie Byrne," written by the late Bertie Byrne by his partner, Miller Singer. Blues, given a wedding day number, has personalities. The list of this art, however, was "June Love" sung by Perry Cox, an engaged specially for this number. Put Two brought on little Flotter Patham, who won considerable reputation as a little "pok" in Nora Bayer's vaudeville are on the big time. The little girl is clever. She purrs over two songs "I'm all alone" and "Strut" Miss Jizze in a manner that about stopped the show.

THE LINCOLN THEATRE It Richard Kipling had never written any other poem than "Without I want of Clergy, he would still be one of the great ambassadors of the world." Every one of the greatest instances that have been made were wounds of "William Hobson of Vienna," as shown on the Lincoln Theatre on Thanksgiving, would in it itself, proclaim the greatest of the art to future generations. In its revelation of a wonderful love in its amazing power to move a human heart in its intensity of compassion and its colorful and affectionate emotion and its so simple, "Without Benefit of Clergy" stands alone. It is the screen's greatest triumph. It tells the story of the Love of an Englishman for a Hindu girl, whom he bought with gold. It was but an episode in his life, but it was her whole existence. As transferred to the screen from Mr. Kipling's own scenario, it grips the emotions with an even greater intensity than the story. Brown cannot be said of Virginia Brown Faire is America. It is hard to believe she isn't really the duke-skin- ed, adoring, sixteen-year-old heroine. Thomas Holding is excellent as Hold- ing. THE QAST Lance Plummer .....

LAFAYETTE THEATRE TO REOPEN SATURDAY On Saturday, August 27th, the Lafayette Theatre will reopen with a program of first run motion pictures that will be supplemented by one of the best impressions in the city. This reopening will be conducted by Allie Ross, who for the past two years has combined an orchestra on the New American roof. Mr. Ross is also well known for his concerts here in Harlem, and it is a special that his orchestra will be a big drawing card at the Lafayette. The theatre has been renovated and repainted on the inside, and many improvements have been made. Among these improvements is the fitting up and furnishing of a reception room on the second floor of the theatre, and the installing of new curtains and equipment for the stage. The outside of the theatre has also been cleaned, and the entire building looks as though it were new. The new management of the theatre is planning to give the coloured people of Harlem the very best in moving pictures, and hope to, in future, introduce the THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1921. CONVICT SHIP BUILT OF INDIAN TEAKWOOD During in various parts of the hull of the old British Convict ship "Success", made last week at the foot of West 129th street, where she is on public exhibition, showed that the Indian tuskwood with which the "Success" is built is to all intents and purpose, as good today as it was one hundred and thirty-one years ago when the vessel was built and launched at Northumberland British East India. Experts who made the leagues said there is every reason to believe that the vessel will be still at a hundred years from now unless accident occurs or she is built by their means. Ship builders experts in the world's woods show great interest in the hull and original lower maxima. Owing to the thickness of the wood, it is believed that the builder, of the "Success", sought wood that was at least a thousand years old. The real wood forests of India are now practically exhausted. This number is regarded as more enduring than iron and has, in fact, outlived much of the hand wrought iron that went into the "Success" construction. SMITH OF WASHINGTON WON N. Y. STATE TITLE More than a thousand people witnessed the finals of the New York State Tennis Tournament on Saturday afternoon, August 8th, on the courts of the Ideal Tennis Club.

ANTI-LYNCHING PLEDGE SHOULD BE FULFILLED (Washington National Republican) The Republican national platform of 1920 promoted legislation for the suppression of the national crime of lynching. That promise should at an early date be fulfilled. The spirit of lawlessness is growing throughout the country and crimes of violence by bodies of men who presume to take the law in their hands are multiplying. The organization of the Ku Klux Klan, dedicated to the task of taking the enforcement of law out of the hands of organized government and turning it over to irresponsible hands of masked regulators, operating under cover, of darkness, is rapidly proceeding. Texas alone has had more than a score of reported manifestations of mob law during the past few weeks. In the absence of some measure forcing local communities to maintain law and order a reign of lawlessness may ensue throughout the country the consequences of which will be more serious than anyone now imagines. Representative Browne, of Wisconsin has introduced an anti-lynching measure which is worthy of serious consideration (H. R. 2788). It provides that whenever person or property shall be destroyed by reason of the act of any mob or riot, the city, county, town or parish wherein the act of violence takes place shall be inside to the destroyed or injured to the person who has suffered in case of death in sentatives. Such a law would not the effect of causing give more serious character of men elected enoming public power, misuse participation or oppression to press. Life or some kind of death upon the suffer an expulsion of nature of the wandering or as a means of relief or cure of a sickness. REWARDS OF THE FARMER.

Federal Council of Churches Form Race Relations Comm. One Hundred Representatives of White and Colored Churches, Mostly Southern, To Create Better Race Relations Hampton, Va.—The recent riot in Tulsa, the reported activities of the Ku Klux, Klan, and the disclosures concerning Negro progeny give timeliness to the creation of a Commission on Negro Churches and Race Relations by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The purpose of this action is to consolidate the influences of the churches in bringing about better relations between the white and the colored races. The first meeting of the new Commission was held in Washington, D.C., under the chairmanship of John J. Eagan of Atlanta, who is president of the Atlanta Council of Churches and one of the leading Christian laymen in the South. A vice-chairman is to be named from the Negro Churches. The Commission is made up of about one hundred leading representatives of the white and colored churches, the majority being residents of the South. Bettering Race Relations. The whole day was spent in discussing the distinctive contributions, of the churches to bettering relations between the races. It was agreed that the Church, being committed to the principle that humanity is an organism, cannot accept as a satisfactory solution the theory that inter-racial conflict is inevitable, or that the races should be segregated from each other, or that they should be amalgamated, or that any one race is meant to have special privileges which are to be denied to others. The Christian solution lies in the races living together in mutual helpfulness, service, and good-will. "The problem of race," said Dr. Robert E. Speer, president of the Council, at the opening meeting, "are the most difficult of mankind. They make the most searching tests of our ideals and principles. We as Christians, reject the theory of conflict and force as means of solving these problems. We reject the theory of separation as a solution. We must work out the problems of the white and Negro races together. We are all committed to the idea that cooperative good-will can solve these problems." Adopt Program of Work The following statement was unanimously adopted as expressing the general program of work for the Commission: is preyaring for its auto outing Saturday, August 27th, to the beautiful Hudson Park.

Mrs Williams who had been principal of the Thomy Lafayette public school, had been quite a long time but had deviously attended to the duties of the position with an efficiency and a heroic courage that were wonderful for a woman of her age, until the close of the public schools on June 11th this year, when she decided to ask for retirement under the rules of the New Orleans School Board. She had loved to see the school over which she presided win trophy after trophy in the manies contests into which it had been entered and had come to the conclusion that it was time to relinquish the work she loved so well to other hands. She was a grand old lady more loved, honored and esteemed by it. The lovely on account of her admirable woman in New Orleans. She possessed all the grace and womanly charms of her distinguished looks, and her presence in any gathering of her people on any occasion was greatly taken as a sign of good behavior and demeanor on the part of every there. Of late years, though present at notable affairs and functions of her people, Mrs Williams couldeld them be present, speak because she preceived that other girls would show herself in herself given a change of talent and to win esteem and popularity as had been given to her when she was younger. She was a woman of whole some experience in the affairs of life, had travelled some, had studied much to keep anace with the progress of her great profession and had succeeded very well. Mrs. Williams became a teacher in 1870 and began to teach in the public schools of New Orleans in 1871 and had been teaching right along until she retired. She became principal of the Thomy Lafayette School twenty-three years ago. Te enrollment of this school has been more than 1800 pupils with something like 30 teachers.

Her funeral was largely attended by many of the leading people of the race here, and floral offerings in testimony of the loving esteem in which she was held were many and beautiful. The permon by the curate of the Blessed Sacrament Church and the singing of the soloists of the choir were touching and sonstirring features of the ceremonials. The church, the schools; the race and the city suffer a great loss in the death of this grand woman. She was the last of her immediate family leaving no relatives; the whole city murmured her death. The home in which she "To assert the sufficiency of the Christian solution of race relations in America and the duty of the Churches and all their organizations to give their most careful attention to this question." "To provide a central clearing-house and meeting-place for the churches and for all Christian agencies dealing with the relation of the white and Negro races, and to support their activities along this line; "To promote mutual confidence and acquaintance, both nationally and locally, between the white and Negro churches, especially by state and local conferences between white and Negro ministers, Christian educators and other leaders, for the consideration of their common problems; "To array the sentiment of the Christian Churches against mob violence and to enlist their through-going support in a special program of education on the subject for a period of at least five years; To Devalon Public Conscience. To secure and distribute accurate knowledge of the facts regarding racial relations and racial attitudes in general, and regarding particular situations that may be under discussion from time to time; "To develop a public conscience, which will secure to the Negro equitable provision for education, health, housing, recreation, and all other aspects of community welfare; "To make more widely known in the churches the work and principles of the Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation, and especially to support its efforts to establish local inter-racial committees; and "To secure the presentation of the problem of race relations and of the Christian solution by white and Negro speakers at as many church gatherings as possible throughout the country." The Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation, is a voluntary group of individuals, both white and colored, in the South, who have been cooperating in developing inter-racial committees in local communities for the purpose of promoting good-will between the races.
