Record Refutes Assertion That Race Has Received No Recognition in New York from Republican Party
Republican Record Of Race Appointees
Facts Show Many Lucrative Positions Filled By Members of Race
Tammany Refuted
Only Two Outstanding Appointments in City Under Hylan--Republican Appointees Get More Than $60,000 Yearly
A determined effort is being made by the Tammany-Hearst-Hylan forces to secure support of colored voters for the Democratic ticket in the approaching municipal election. One of the arguments advanced by the Tammanyites is that under Mayor Hylan, recognition has been given the Negro in the way of appointments denied him by former local Republican administrations and by the present Republican state and national administrations. This argument has force only with those who are unfamiliar with the true facts.
The Hylan administration has given the race but two outstanding appointments—that of F. Q. Morton and J. Frank Wheaton as assistant district attorneys in District Attorney Swan's office. Mr. Wheaton has resigned.
As against these appointments it is a matter of record that under the late John Purroy Mitchell, elected mayor on a fusion ticket of Republicans and independents. But only was there a Negro assistant district attorney in the District Attorney's office, but Mayor Mitchell also appointed a Negro—Dr. E. P. Roberts—as a member of the New York City Board of Education, a most representative position.
Criticism is made that Charles W. Anderson, appointed collector of internal revenue by the late President Theodore Roosevelt, has not received a similar appointment under the present Republican President. But the fact is ignored that Mr. Anderson holds an important position under the Republican state administration: a position which pays, we believe, $4,500 a year.
The record shows further that in the Harlem district alone, through influence of David B. Costuma, leader of 19th A. D., and Couty Chairman Samuel S. Koenig, colored men have been appointed to positions with an aggregate salary list of about $60,000 yearly.
In the light of these facts, ministers and other leaders of the race are wondering how the Democratic workers can hope to enlist the support of the Negro Republican voters for the Tammany-Hearst-Hylan combination.
Bishop McGuire Severs all Relations With the U. N. I. A. President General Garvey Objected to Bishop's Efforts to Get Assistance From Members of the Organization
Bishop George Alexander McGuire, head of the African Orthodox Church, at 22 West 15th street, has severed all relations with the Marcus Garvey organizations. Bishop McGuire was former chaplain general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of Washington Garvey is president general, but at the recent convention of that organization held during August in New York City, Bishop McGuire reigned and was elected as honorary chaplain general, there being no active successor chosen.
As head of the African Orthodox Church, Bishop McGuire addressed communications to various individuals, members of the U. N. I. A., requesting the assistance in development of his thesis proposition, including the erection of a Memorial Abbey in New York City. When this came to the conclusion of President General Garvey, he chartered offering as a reason to stand寂寞 among our members and to divide up their meagre share of matters.

President Harding Pleads For Justice to Negro Race
Wants No Social Equality, But Should Have Equal Opportunity To Make Good Holds Black Man Should Be Treated Squarely By The White South
(Special to The New York Agc.)
Birmingham, Ala — The Negro must Harding declared in a frank discussion South, here, Wednesday, October 20th. The black man, he said, must recount matter of justice and national welfare. "Surely we shall gam nothing by clared. He brought up the subject in a centennial celebration. Political and economic equality, he. On the other hand, he urged that both in things social and racial."
Birmingham, Ala—The Negro must have a chance to make good. President Harding declared in a frank discussion of the race problems in the heart of the South, here, Wednesday, October 20th.
The black man, he said, must receive political and economic equality as a matter of justice and national welfare.
"Surely we shall gain nothing by blinking at the facts," the President declared. He brought up the subject in his main speech at the Birmingham semi-centennial celebration.
Political and economic equality, he explained, does not mean social equality. On the other hand, he urged that both sides recognize the "absolute divergence in things social and racial."
Mr. Harding protested against his own party's use of the black man as a mere political tool and urged the Negroes to vote either the Democratic or Republican ticket on the merits of the two parties.
"I plead with my own political party to lay aside every program that looks to lining up the black man as a mere political adjunct," he said.
The South should cease "harrowing the Negro's political rights," he added. The real menace, he warned, lies in deriving political solidarity on the Negro.
white man voting when he is unfit to vote. Especially would I appeal to the self-respect of the colored race. I would inculcate in it the wish to improve itself of a traditio nary, with a heredity, a set of traditions, or a way of apprati tions all its own. Out of such racial ambitions and pride will come natural segregations, without narrowing any rights, such as are proceeding in both rural and urban communities now in Southern States, satisfying natural inclinations and adding simply to hap piness and contentment.
The Negro should have equal educa
No Racial Amalgamation.
The Negro, the President continued, should seek to be "the best possible black man and not the best possible imitation of a white man. Racial amalgamation there cannot be," he declared.
Mr. Harding's speech bristled with straight talk on the race question, on he warned the South that if it wished to keep its fields tilled and its industries humming it must deal fairly with the Negro or he would migrate to the North and West, where he has greater opportunities.
The President also turned his fire on "demagogues, who would array class against class" and denounced the political practice of catering to the "labor vote, the business vote, the Irish vote, the Scandinavian vote, the Italian vote, and so on."
He prefaced his remarks with a tribute to Birmingham
"Politically and economically," he said, turning again to the race question, "there need be no permanent differentiation or limitation of the individual's opportunity, provided that on both sides there shall be recognition of the absolute divergence in things social and racial. When I suggest the possibility of economic equality between the races, I mean it in precisely the same way and to the same extent that I would mean it if I spoke of equality of economic opportunity as between members of the same race. In each case I would mean equality proportioned to the honest capacities and deserts of the individual.
Opposed to Social Equality.
"Men of both races may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote; prohibit the

FAMOUS "HELL FIGHTERS PICTURE AGAIN READY FOR THE AGE READERS
The Publisher of THE NEW YORK AGE, after many months, has again secured a supply of copies of the famous oil painting, "First To The Rhine," showing the Old 15th (New York) Regiment, the "Hell-Fighting Fifteenth," as the French called it, as it actually appeared in action, advancing through Alsace, France, as advance guard of the 161st French Division.
The painting, by S. J. Woolf, one of America's leading portrait painters, shows the Old 15th with Col. William Hayward in command, accompanied by Regimental Adjutant Ferguson and Lieut. Tessier, the French liaison officer. Many of the figures of the men are actually portraits.
The reproduction rights belong exclusively to THE AGE. It is printed on heavy calendared paper, 8 by 12 inches, by four-color process in the original colors and is a faithful replica of the mammoth oil original, which now hangs in the home of Col Hayward.
Only subscribers to THE AGE can secure these copies. Send $223 for one year's subscription and cost of mailing, and the picture will be sent. Old subscribers, not in arrears, can get the picture, by paying a year in advance, plus 25 cents for cost of mailing.
Subscribers who paid for the picture during 1920, but who were not supplied before the issue was exhausted, will receive their copies as soon as they can be forwarded.

"I would accept," he said, "that a black man cannot be a white man and that he does not need and should not aspire to be as much like a white man as possible in order to accomplish the best that is possible for him. He should seek to be, and he should be encouraged to be, the best possible black man and not the best possible imitation of a white man.
"It is a matter of the keenest national concern that the South should not be encouraged to make its colored population a vast reservoir of all ignorance, to be demeaned away by the process of migration into all other sections."

Ground will be broken for the new Fifteenth Regiment Armory on Sunday afternoon, November 8th, at 3 o'clock, on which occasion Mayor John P. Hylan, chairman of the Armory Board, will be the principal speaker. Bids for construction of the proposed armory are to be opened November 3.
On Sunday, October 30th, at 3 p.m., an important meeting of citizens will be held at the old Fifteenth Regiment Armory, 132nd street and Seventh avenue, when arrangements will be made for the breaking of ground on November 6th, which is to be an historic occasion for Harlem.
At Sunday's meeting a committee made up of representative citizens of both races residing in Harlem will be formed, and a grand marshal elected.
PLANS FILED FOR THE 15TH REGIMT ARMORY
Construction of an armory for the 15th regiment, New York Guard, is to started at an early date, according to reports. Plans for the drill shed, to be erected at No. 18 to 42 West 142nd street, and 17 to 41 West 142nd street, have been filled with the Manhattan building department.
The structure is to comprise the lower part of the armory which is to be completed later, and the plans call for a drill shed with three balconies, each to accommodate 1,500 people, with the main floor having, a capacity of 2,000. The building will comfortably house 6,500 persons.
The title is vested in the city, and the estimated cost of the drill shed will be $300,000. Tachau & Vought, are the architects.
REV. SOLOMON P. HOOD TO THE LIBERIAN POST
(Special to The New York Age)
Washington, D. C.—The Rev. Solomon Porter Hood of Trenton, N. J., has been named by President Harding to be Minister Resident and Consul General in Liberia. The appointment was made public on Saturday, October 22nd.
Rev. Hood is a prominent minister in the A. M. E. Church and has for a number of years served as presiding elder on New Jersey districts. He has been an active factor in state and national affairs, both civic and political.
His candidacy for the Liberian post had the active support of both, New Jersey senators, Freedinghussen and Edge, and their combined support was sufficient to overcome the efforts of other candidates for the honors and emoluments attached to ministerial residence in Liberia.
It is not thought that there will be any objection to Dr. Hood's confirmation.

Tammany's Terrifying of Teachers and Poor Widows Curran, Coalition Candidate for Mayor, Shows Up Hylan's Campaign Tactics as Applied to School Force of City
Beneficiaries Under State Pension Law Urged to Vote for Hylan, Fear Pension Loss If They Fail to Do so
Henry H. Curran, the Republican-coalition mayoralty candidate, struck a sledge-hammer blow last week when he showed that Tammany-Hearst-Hylan interests were using their power in an effort to coerce not only the teachers in the city schools, but the poor widows who are on the city's pension rolls as well.
Charging that Mayor Hylan has sacrificed even "decency itself" in his anxiety to gain reelection, Mr. Curran declared that the campaign has been carried into the public schools and that letters have been addressed to teachers and principals "inviting them to become members of a campaign committee" to work for the reelection of John F. Hylan. A card enclosed directed that it be signed and returned promptly to the special Hylan committee which sent it out.
Mr. Curran spoke in Hylan's home district in Brooklyn a few nights ago and made these charges. He told the people that "this job must be worth something to somebody when Mr. Hylan raps with his polished rack on the steps of our public schools and calls out teachers and principals to vote (or him or take the consequences of the Hylan Board of Education.
the Mayor to save their pensions.
Mr. Curran's speech was as follows:
"From the time this campaign began I have insisted that we fight it out fairly on the merits and according to the facts Our people are entitled to that kind of campaign. Our city deserves it. For my part I am going to stick to it.
"Mr. Hylan is not conducting that kind of a campaign. He is doing it in
Terrifying Heliphan Windows
This job of Mayor must be worth something to somebody when Mr. Hylan tries to terrify helpless widows and eaterless children into believing that they must go out and work for him or else lose their pensions.
Mr. Hylan has already done these two things, and I challenge him to deny it. I had intended to talk to you tonight about a few more of his broken promises, but they can wait. There is something going on that you should know about at once."
One of the points made by Mr. Curran was that the Hylan campaign among the women pensioners of the city has begun to show effect, and already two old women, fearful lest their sole support be cut off, have come to him personally to ask just what they can do for
Washington, D. C.—The House Committee on Judiciary has reported favorably upon the anti-lynching bill introduced into Congress by Congressman Dyer of Missouri (H. R. 13). The passage of this bill will make lynching a federal crime, with the trial of lynchers in federal courts.
Citizens in all sections of the country are taking interest in the fate of this bill, and already members of Congress are being assailed by their constituents with letters and telegrams urging their support of the measure.

Mr. Curran's speech was as follows:

Our people are entitled to that kind of

Encosed with the letter, which is signed
by a special Hylan committee, are the
words, "Kindly sign the enclosed card
and return promptly; if you accept, car-
ons those whose written acceptance is
received will be appointed."
On the card is a dotted line. On this
line I candidate Hylan commands the
principals of our public schools to sign
away their birthright.
Putting Politics in Schools
"I could there be a plainer case of putting politics into the schools?" And yet that is what is going on. Instead of keeping his word to give a decent education to the children of New York, Mr. Hylan is busy holding, his political blackjack over the brains of the men and women whoiteach the children. In one corner of this letterhead is Mr. Hylan's picture and in another corner are the frontal words, "In this crisis party names, party lines and party fealty become inconsequential." Yes, everything is inconsequential except getting votes. Nothing else matters.
"We have come to a pretty pass when the Mayor of New York City tries to line up the public school principals so that they will have to be stood up and counted either for or against him.
"But there is worse than that. If this were not enough to warn mothers and fathers of what Hylanism is, let me tell you how Mr. Hylan is trying to capitalize the miseries of new York's widows and fatherless children for his own personal political benefit.
Coercing Pensioned Widow
"Some time ago, the State of New York passed a law which provides a pension for dependent mothers and children, so that these little children can be brought up in the home instead of in institutions. This law was not passed by Mayor Hylan. It was a legislative act and it provided for the payment of so much money each month to dependent mothers, with children. It is quite clear that if there ever was a righteous law this was that law. By this law the State of New York declared its duty to care for dependent mothers and their fatherless children.
"Now, let's see what happened. Our more we find Mr. yHlan doing what no other candidate in our city's history ever would have dared to do. He and those who beguile the public with his vengeance, got hold on the list of all the widows in New York's love boroughs whose names are on the Board of Child Welfare rolls.
"They they sent out notices to their widows to meet in the Washington Irving High School on Tuesday evening, October 18, to attend an Americanization meeting Attached to the institution which was mailed out in Child Welfare envelopes, was a letter from the 'Bryd Non-Partisan League.' Many good women thought it contained their adverances.
"Fearing the power over their positions, a large number of them, good women accused in their actions, gave up and sent to the court."
"Americanization" meeting. Perlane
some of them had any idea what the
real purpose of this gathering was, as
one of them told me today she thought
the meeting was called to discuss a plan
to help another in making better
Americans of the, children whose dead
fathers are foreign born. Two speakers,
one I understand, an appointee of Hy-
lah, got up on the platform and lauded
our marvelous Mayor. Not a word was
said by him about Americanization.
Then came the big ballyboo. His Honor,
announced by the flourishes and rugles
of a brass band, strode through the hall
and onto the platform, where the spotlight
played on him. The movies
ground out reels of him.
"Then came the most amazing talk which New York perhaps ever heard. Not a word, mind you, about Americanization. Nothing about making better Americans of the fatherless children whose mothers sat before him.
"Now, getting away for a moment from the pitiful picture of a Mayor trying to make votes on the woes of these widows, allow me to say a word on the significance of this meeting. Two of these good mothers, who support themselves and their children upon their allowances, came to my office today and told me that they had gone to the meeting in good faith, believing that there was work which they could do in helping less fortunate mothers to rear their children as good Americans.
Not a Word but Glorifications.
"They told me that not a word was mid the purpose printed in the invitations, and that the entire meeting was given over to a glorification of Mr. Hylan. They could not see what Mr. Hylan had done for these except beguile them into a political meeting in his own behalf, under the guise of a meeting on Americanization.
"And here is the most serious aspect of this sort of imposition. I have a letter which was sent to those widows. The letter points out that one of the mothers came in, handed over the letter sent out to the mothers, and innocently naked: 'What must I do and where must I go to vote for Mayor Hylan so that I will not lose my pension?'
"If this good woman so interpreted the Hylan meeting of the Child Welfare Board, what must have gone through the heads of all the other widows who received a similar letter sent in the official envelope of the Board of Child Welfare, Room 2, City Hall? I say it is time to call a halt where fire: Mayor of New York stoops so low as to use his high office to get the votes of widowed mothers who depend on the city to keep their homes together.
MAYOR HYLAN TRIED
TO PUT OVER PLAN
FOR 7 CENTS FAIR
Claims made by the Hylan administration that Mayor Hylan saved the cent fare for residents of New York City were refuted by Henry H. Curran, Republican coalition candidate for mayor, when he charged that the mayor secretly conferred with representatives of the traction interests with a view to imposing a 7 cent fare on the public. These charges were brought out when Curran read from the records sworn testimony of Mayor Hylan and the late Theodore Shoata, former president of the Int'l borough Raphael's Transit Company, before the Public Service Commission. Mr. Curran declared that make Hylan talked about a five cent fare. "How did everything he could to boost the fare up to seven cents and I challenge him to deny it," said Mr. Curran.
The records quoted from showed that Shonitz testified before the Commission that he had held conferences with Mayor Hylan in the mayor's office, at the first of which Hylan had introduced him to one McFarland of Boston, saying that McFarland represented "Mr. Heart's interests in New England. He is his lawyer in New England." President Shonitz testified that McFarland issued the adoption of the Borton plan of operating the rapid transit lines, saying that McFarland was more responsible that any one else for the adoption of that plan.
As a result of this plan Boston Citizens are now paying 10 cents can fare where they formerly paid five cents. The fight for this plan was waged by Hearst through the column of his newspapers, "The Boston American."
COALITION MEETING AT
METROPOLITAN CHURCH
Candidates on the Coalition ticket were present and spoke at a political mass meeting on Tuesday night, October 27th, at Metropolitan Baptist Church before a large audience of white and colored citizens. Former District Attorney Jerome made the principal address, and pointed out the fallacies in Hyland's claiming to be a friend of the door people.
Other speakers were Henry H. Curran, candidate for mayor; Vincent Gilroy, candidate for president of the Board of Alderman; Miss Helen V. Moore, candidate for register; Ernest Burdett, candidate for the president of the Borough of Manhattan, Morris Koeing, candidate for judge in the court of General Sessions, John Kirkland Clark, candidate for district attorney; Charles Novelle, candidate for county clerk; Dr. Charles H.

A letter published recently, by the New York World, from one "Allen Carruthers asked as to the reason why some Northerners do not feel cordially toward the South and its people. A number of replies to the query were sent in to the World and printed in that paper. Among the number so given, one written by Clara G Stillman (whether Misa or Mrs, it does not say) of Clifton Springs, N. Y. She identifies herself radically in the phrase, "the self-styled superior' race to which I belong."
This letter tells of some reasons for the attitude of Northerners, an attitude forced upon them by the actions of the Southerners themselves. She refers specifically to the "jim crow" cars, the exclusion of Negroes from the public parks, the public libraries ("that no Negro, even though he may be the author of books on the shelves, is permitted to enter"), and to the "ignorant and malicious slander of Negroes which forms so large a part of Southern conversation."
The lady goes further and declares that cold statistics in reports of Commissioners of Education, in election reports, etc., show that the South deliberately "denies to its Negro population its rightful share of education, comfort and freedom." Conceding that "the North has no occasion to pride itself on its treatment of the Negro," the letter asserts that "it is still true that the Negro's condition here is paradise compared with it in the South."
The Prevalent "Jim Crowism."
In the letter to the World, Miss (or Mrs.) Stillman writes:
Whenever I am in the South and am forced to live in the midst of the Jim Crow system; when I have to ride in street cars whose Negro occupants are huddled in the back seats marked with a large sign "COLORED;" when I sit in one of the public parks listening to a hand concert and know that no Negro citizen; however cultured and music-loving, may share this privilege with me; when I go into a public library and realize that no Negro, even though he may be the author of books on its shelves, is permitted to enter it; when I hear the ignorant or malicious slander of Negroes which forms so large a part of Southern conversation, I feel deeply depressed and humiliated that the self-styled "superior" race to which I belong should be characterized by such childishness, such littleness, such cruelty and vulgarity.
The More Serious Aspects.
These are the most obvious phases of the Negro's condition in the South which strike one at every turn. For its more "false propaganda" of "Uncle Tom's serious aspects one need not go to the Cabin" or other fiction, as Mr. Caruthers puts it, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is mild compared with the realities of Negro enslavement and exploitation from its day to ours. Dickens was not writing fiction in his "American Notes" Frances Kemble Butter was not writing fiction in her "Diary of Two Years Spent on a Georgia Plantation" (I quote this title from memory). Today the knowledge that the South deliberately denies to its Negro population its
DR. AGGREY TO SPEAK
AT M. E. CONFERENCE
Dr. J. E. Kweygir Agrey, professor of Economics and Sociology at Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C., will address the National Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Detroit Wednesday morning. November 10th according to information reaching here. He will speak on mission at work in Africa. Dr. Agrey is a native of the Gold Coast, West Africa, and received his early education in a mission school there. He came to America in 1888 seeking higher education. He attended Livingstone College, and later took his graduate training at Columbia University. He was a member of the African Education Commission of the Phelps Stoker Foundation, and of the Foreign Missions Conference.
Dr. Aggrey created a profound impression upon the people of England during his recent stay there and received by many invitations to speak before many notable gatherings. He was hailed as a true representative of the Negro race in its finest development, displaying at once a Christian nobility of character, a kindly attitude toward all races, and an intellectual training and power which gives him free scope for his unusual natural abilities. Basil Mathews, the famous author and editor, interviewed Dr. Aggrey and quoted him at length in *New Horizons*, an article on the Negro soon to be published in this country. In the *Christian Advocates of the Methodist Episcopal Church*.

rightful share of education, comfort and freedom is not based on action but on cold statistics in reports of Commissioners of Education, in election reports, &c.
I am well aware that the "better Southern opinion" does not approve of this state of affairs, but there are a few Southeastern who have enough common humanity and decency to be distressed over it. But this "better South" appears to be composed of a negligible minority, to judge by its extremely slight efforts to effect a change for the better and its silence and suspicion in the face of many outrages.

I am equally aware that the North has no occasion to pride itself on its treatment of the Negro, but, granting every instance in which the North has failed in this respect, it is still true that the Negro's position here is paradise compared with it in the South. If there are also many Northerners who share the Southern hatred of the Negro, it is often because they are ignorant and have been misinformed. I have seen race prejudice manufactured before my eyes in the South, Florida, for instance, is the winter vacation grounds for many Northerners. Many stay all winter, bring their children and send them to school-there. They hear constantly what miserable wretches Negroes are, all insolent, all liars, all thieves, as unrestrained sexually as animals; that you must keep them down in self-defense. Of course you occasionally hear the old stuff about how they love their mammals, but not nearly so often.
Passing of Abolition Conditions
With the passing of time and the arising of new interests the Abolitionist tradition) has lost much of its force for this generation of Northerners. Most of them know nothing of the Negro and his problem and care less. They have neither the personal experience nor the humanitarian or scientific grounding that will enable them to detect the inevitable falsity of such charges applied indiscriminately to any race. But no one knows less truth or wants to know less about the Negro race than the typical "migger-hating" Southern. He continues industriously to spread the poison of slander and race hatred, and in those communities where there is a constant elf and flow of Northern visitors it spreads easily and far and many new centres of corruption are formed.
This is my reason for not feeling cordially toward the South and the majority of its people. Of course I have known Southerners who are not of this type, people of splendid humanity and vision. They are not included in this indictment. I do not know how many Northerners feel as I do about this matter but I know of a good many who do.

I was disappointed, but yet surprised,
I was disappointed because just a few

surprised because I heard from some

she is from Florida. Arent you "Kindness?"

ALDERMAN ROBERTS' RECORD.
The action of the Republicans of the Nineteenth Assembly district in renominating Dr. Charles H. Roberts for membership in the New York Board of Aldermen is a well deserved tribute to his constructive efforts in furthering useful legislation for the benefit of the community at large, as well as for the constituency which he specifically represents.
Among the measures to which Alderman Roberts gave his earnest support was a resolution requesting that the Armory Board and the Board of Estimate and Appointment bring about speedy action toward providing suitable city-owned quarters for the gallant fighters of the Fifteenth Regiment, so that their transformation into a Federal unit might be effected. Last week, in accordance with this request, plans were filed for the erection of a drill shed, to cost $300,000, as the initial step toward the building of a complete armory for this regiment.
Another provision for the comfort and health of the people of Harlem urged upon the Board by Alderman Roberts was the revival of the plans for a bath house in that section which the Board adopted upon his motion. Two hundred thousand dollars was appropriated for this purpose which will contribute so much to the wellbeing of the residents of the district.
In the interest of law and order and for the curring of crime Dr. Roberts presented a resolution in which the Board of Aldermen called upon the State Legislature to amend the penal code so as to make acts of robbery committed with a gun punishable with life imprisonment and to amend the law dealing with the parole of criminals so as to make men who use firearms in the perpetration of crimes ineligible to parole.
The representations made by Dr. Rollets to the school authorities resulted in the recommendation that half of the new school building to be erected on West 132th street, be used for the lower grades, for which extra space is so severely needed.
All of these acts on the part of the present member of the Board testify to his direct interest and energetic action in furthering the vital interests of the people at large, and especially those whom he particularly represents. The matters of health and sanitation, protection to life and property, instruction for the children, are matters essential to the good of the community. When a local legislator does his utmost to further these ends, and at the same time preserves the dignity of his office by a discreet and well balanced course of procedure, it is up to the people whom he represents to return him in the harness as long as he will continue to serve their interests.
The fine record made by Dr. Roberts and his faithful service rendered to the whole community is the best and most effective answer to the vicious content raised by his Democratic opponent, Martin L. Healey, in his endeavor to raise a color question, by saying that "A Negro should not be in the Aldermanic Board." It also disposes the frivolous charges made by a few colored malcontents that Dr. Roberts has done nothing for "elective representation." Dr. Roberts' whole record is the strongest argument that can be made for such representation.
The people of the Nineteenth Assembly district will do well to give their solid support to Alderman Roberts for re-election.
GENERAL APATHY" THE POE.
The greatest foe that the Republican-Coalition campaigners have to contain in the present municipal campaign is "General Apathy". There is no good reason why the present city administration should be continued in office, as its general record is one of record and lack of harmony in its individual elements and incapacity and neglect in its management of the city affairs. Every reason exists to bring about a change of management, and if the voters can be roused to do their part in the polls, such a change will be made.
The registration figures as a whole are favorable to the cause of good government, as they show a large number of voters who have qualified to cast their votes at the polls. The number of women voters registered constitutes a proportion of the total and indicates a new element in the municipal design. These women, many of
in the master of securing proper schooling
for their children.
This matter of the schools is one in which the Hyllan administration has fallen down the hardest. In 1917 Mayor Hyllan said "A seat for every pupil is what we guarantee." His show shows that the number of children on part time has increased each year, growing from 39,248 in 1918 to 126,105 in 1921. In the matter of providing better and fuller school accommodations Major Curran, the Republican candidate, may be depended upon to accomplish what the present incumbent has promised but failed to perform.
The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has at last been favorably reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary and is now before Congress. The bill as reported differs slightly from the measure as it was in its last printed form. This difference is not due to any material alterations in the bill but to the fact that the Attorney General's Office recommended the cutting out of all the verbiage which might give rise to controversies on points of constitutionality. The bill has been cut to the bone but is, in our opinion, stronger than it was in its previous form. All of the essential provisions still remain. To summarize it briefly, it is entitled, "A Bill to Assure to Persons Within the Jurisdiction of any State the Equal Protection of the Laws." The bill was formerly entitled, "A Bill to Assure to Persons Within the Jurisdiction of Every State the Equal Protection of the Laws, and to Punish the Crime of Lynching." The change in the title of the bill at once removes a possible issue on its constitutionality. The present title brings the bill strictly within the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution which declares, "Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its Jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The Republican candidate has a definite and clear record in other public policies. He has backed up every move made by Alderman Roberts in the provision of public improvements for Harlem, such as the armory for the Fifteenth Regiment, the public bath house, and new school buildings. While Mayor Hyland is also entitled to a certain amount of credit for his action in these matters, there is every reason to believe that they would go on to completion with a better prospect of success under a new administration. Senator Lockwood, the Republican candidate for Comptroller, has already made good as the head of the Legislative committee that exposed the building graft that helped make the housing shortage so difficult of solution. He may be trusted to deal with the serious problem of the city finances, in such a way as reduce waste and squandering of public funds and put the city on a solid basis of getting proper returns for its money expended.
The bill begins by defining the phrase, "mob or riotous assemblage" to mean an assembly composed of five or more persons acting in concert for the purpose of depriving any person of his life without authority of law. The bill further states that if any State or governmental subdivision thereof fails, neglects, or omits to provide and maintain protection to the life of any person within its jurisdiction against a mob or riotous assemblage, such State or subdivision shall be deemed to have denied to such person equal protection of the laws of the State.
The women.candidates on the Republican ticket are especially worthy of support. In Miss Helen Varick Boswell for County Register and Miss Margaret Smith for the Assembly, the voters will have an opportunity to put into office two fine types of American womanhood.
The bill provides that any State or municipal officer charged with the duty or who possesses the power of authority to protect the life of any person that may be put to death by a mob or riotous assemblage shall be deemed guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine not exceeding $5,000, or both; further, that any person who participates in any mob or riotous assemblage by which a person is put to death shall be guilty of a felony and on conviction thereof shall be imprisoned for life or for not less than five years; further, that any county in which a person is put to death by a mob or riotous assemblage shall forfeit $10,000, which sum may be recovered by an action therefor in the name of the United States against such county and for the use of the family, if any, of the person put to death; if he had no family, then to his dependent relatives, if any; otherwise, for the use of the United States. It is provided that if such forfeiture is not paid upon recovery of the judgment therefor, the court having jurisdiction will enforce the payment by levy of execution upon any property in the county, or may compel the levy and collection of a tax therefor, or may otherwise compel payment thereof by mandamus or other appropriate process.
In view of the fact that the strongest support of the Hylan administration comes from the Hearst newspapers, it is safe to conclude that the best interests of our group, as well as of the community at large, will be served by the election of the Republican ticket. "General Apathy" should be routed by an uprising of all the advocates of good government in a united effort to sweep out of office the present municipal administration, with its record of failure and general disorganization.
HAS CONGRESS THE BACKBONE?
The time has come to show whether the Congress of the United States has the backbone to deal with vital questions involving the existence of the republic as a civilized nation, as these questions should be dealt with in order to preserve the nation.
The bill further provides that in the event that any person so put to death shall have been transported by such mob or riotous assemblage from one county to another county during the time intervening between his capture and putting to death, each county in or through which he was transported shall be jointly and severally liable to pay the forfeiture provided in the bill.
The House Committee on the Judiciary has reported favorably upon the Lynch bill to make Lynch a Federal offence, and to invoke all the powers of the Federal Courts to present and punish this crime which strikes at the fundamental principles of law and order. It now remains for the House to adopt this report and pass the anti-Lynching bill.
For the purpose of construing and applying the act, the District of Columbia and each of the parishes of the State of Louisiana are deemed counties.
The House Committee on Rules closed its hearing on the investigation of the Ku Klux Klan so abruptly after hearing the testimony of Col Simmons, the ringleader of that notorious organization, that it was impossible to predict what its future action may be. Certainly the members of the committee could not have been deceived by the hypocritical pretences of Simmons as to the evil intent of the organization and its purpose to dey law and order.
The last section of the bill provides that "If any section or provision of this Act shall be held by any court to be invalid the balance of the Act shall not for that reason be held invalid."
The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in its present form is the result of two years of study and debate. It is perhaps the very best anti-lynching measure that can be devised under the Constitution and existing decisions of the Supreme Court. Many eminent constitutional lawyers have expressed grave doubt that an anti-lynching bill could be drawn that would be in accord with the Constitution and which would stand the test before the United States Supreme Court. On the other hand, there were eminent lawyers who believed that it could be done and a number of them have taken part in the framing of the present bill. One of the most tireless and insistent of these great lawyers is the Hon. Merrill Moores, representative from the Seventh-District of Indiana. Mr. Moores is a great lawyer and, in addition, has long been a warm friend of the Negro. He has for the past two years or more been ceasingly at work on this matter of anti-lynching legislation and it is largely due to his study and research that the bill has been put into such shape as to pass the House Committee on the Judiciary. The bill has also had the advantage of suggestions and recommendations from the Attorney General's Office.
The expose of the Ku Klux Klan as a real menace to republican institutions was begun by a publication in Tnr. Acr of January 15, 1921, when the true objects of the revived order were shown. This was made possible by Tnr. Acr securing possession of certain printed matter issued to the members only and entitled "A B C of the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." The "Ku Klux Kreed" among other things pledged the "faithful maintenance of white supremacy and will strenuously oppose any compromise thereof in any and all things." The publication of the secret purposes of the order was continued in Tnr. Acr of January 22 and 29 and in the issue of February 12 appeared the constitution of the original organization of Reconstruction times which Simmons purported to revive. This fully established the unlawful purposes of the organization, which is now before Congress for investigation. The investigators have only to turn to the Ku Klux Reports of Congress for full information as to the midnight assassinations and maraudings perpetrated by the original Klan from 1860 to 1870. Simmons excuses the atrocities and commends the acts of the old Klan, under Gen. N. B. Forrest, the butcher of Fort Pillow, and wants to revive them on a larger scale.
There are some who are skeptical about the effectiveness of any federal law against lynching. They claim that the courts and juries to try those charged with lynching will be made up in the South of the same people who constitute the courts and juries and that the attitude of these people would be the same. In a sense, that is true yet there will be a great difference. When these cases are tried in a federal court, there will necessarily in most cases be a change of venue. That is, if a man is lynched in or near some backwoods town in Georgia, the lyncher will not be tried in that town by a court that knows him personally and a jury made up of his friends and relatives. He will be tried in some larger city, perhaps at some distance, where a federal court sits. That will constitute one great difference and advantage.
But in our opinion the most vital section in the bill is the one which places a forfeiture of $10,000 upon any county in which a person is put to death by a mob or riotous assemblage. When it begins to cost taxpayers money to lynch Negroes somebody is going to see that it is stopped. As it is now, the average lynching in the South is a matter of excitement or fun, and very cheap fun at that. It is, as Mr. H. L. Mencken says, a substitute in the barbarous South for more civilized forms of amusement. But we repeat that when this amusement begins to cost somebody money it will not be quite so popular.
There are individual members of the Congress with the requisite nerve and backbone to tackle the questions of lynching and kukluxism and settle them on the basis of maintaining supremacy of the law. But it remains to be shown whether the Congress as a whole possesses the backbone necessary for the task before it.
We hope and believe it has this quality and that it will use it to the lasting good of the nation.
Congresman Dyer deserves the greatest credit for having pushed this bill thus far, for without his tireless efforts the bill would long ago have been dropped or pigeon-holed. Mr. Dyer is in earnest; he has not introduced this bill merely for publicity purposes. He intends to fight until he gets it upon the statute books.
The Oklahoma Sun is shining again at Tulsa, as brightly as if it had not been obscured in clouds of smoke. Theo Boughman is editor and manager. Baltimore. Md.--For the first time in the history of Baltimore two cohored Republicans will be candidates for the Legislature. They are Arthur E. Brisone, who may fight against the ten applicants in the Third District, and David Boughman, who cohored the nomination.
And now we have this bill reported out by the Committee on the Judiciary and before the House. But this is not the end. There are still two things to be done. First, the bill must be passed in a position where it can move to a more formal place.
It is voted upon it must receive a majority of the votes in order to become a law. There is, of course, a third step, the signing of the bill by the President, but that does not concern us at the present moment.
It is now up to the justice loving people of America, and especially colored Americans, to see that these two first steps are carried out. In order to have them carried out members of Congress must be made to know that the citizens who elect them are watching to see what their actions will be on this bill. Colored citizens in particular must let the present Congress know that a failure to bring the Dyer Bill to a vote will be regarded by us as a betrayal. Further, we must let our representatives in Congress know that we shall regard a vote by them against the Dyer Bill to be a vote in favor of lynching.
In order to accomplish these things we must act intelligently, energetically and promptly. There are two ways in which we can take such action: first, by telegraphing or writing to our representatives in Congress urging them to support and vote for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. H. R. 13. It would be better to telegraph. The time is short and a telegram is more impressive. A telegram will be read when a letter might be thrown into the waste basket. Every loyal Negro in the county ought to be willing to spend fifty cents or a dollar in order to send such a telegram. Within the next ten days, representatives in Congress should receive not less than 500,000 telegrams from colored Americans alone. If they do there will be no doubt about the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill.
Another way in which to take the action outlined above will be for cities or organizations to send delegations to Washington to interview their representatives in Congress and personally impress upon them the desire of their constituents regarding this bill. But at least let every person who can afford it send a telegram. Find out the name of your Congressman. Urge him to support the bill. Mention the bill by name and number. For example—
Hon. Martin C. Ansorge.
House of Representatives.
Washington. D. C.
As a citizen of New York urge you to support the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. H. R. 13.
JOHN SMITH.
We must act at once with all our united strength. If we do we shall have a federal law against lynching. Do your bit to help pass the Dyer Bill and end mob rule in America.
THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE.
The Disarmament Conference in Washington is drawing near. It is a matter in which thoughtful colored men and women ought to be much concerned. They ought to follow it as closely as possible. They ought to do this because, after all, the pivot around which the whole Conference will revolve will be the colored peoples of the world.
It may be said that "disarmament" is a misnomer for the Conference because its chief object will not be disarmament. It appears more and more clearly that the underlying purpose in calling the Conference was the position and power of Japan among the nations of the world. When the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Treaty was brought up some months ago there is no doubt that the United States intimated more or less plainly to England that a renewal would not be pleasing to this government. Then came the call for the Disarmament Conference; but in the call the question of disarmament is linked up with the political questions in the Orient.
The Japanese press states quite openly that it believes the Conference is primarily due to England's deft hand. These same newspapers openly declare that the main object of the Conference will be the isolation of Japan. A number of French newspapers recognize the same thing and for that reason France is indifferent about the whole Conference. For example, "La Republique Francaise" says, "We are convinced that the Conference will devote itself to the relations of the United States and Japan. That will be the central point of the entire debate. We mean to say, what has France to gain by undertaking to play there a leading role? Nothing. Shantung, the open door in China, in maritime Siberia, the Island of Yap, the immigration of the yellow races—these are questions in which we have little or no interest." It is, after all, because the Conference will revolve around the status of the colored races of the Orient directly and the colored peoples of the world indirectly that colored Americans should follow it closely.
Everybody who wants to get a clear and statesmanlike understanding of the Conference in its general bearings should read the articles which will be written by H. G. Wells, the eminent English historian, for the New York "World" and which will be published in a syndicate of twenty odd newspapers throughout the United States. Of perhaps more intimate interest will be a series of articles written primarily for the colored newspapers by Herbert J. Seligmann, author of "The Negro Faces America," one of the few scientific books ever written on the American Negro problem, and also director of publicity for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Seligman's articles will deal with deliberations of the Conference as they specifically concern the colored peoples. There will be thousands of correspondents writing about the Conference but these articles of Mr. Seligmann's will perhaps be the only ones written from this particular angle.
Aside from the above, colored people ought to express themselves in favor of disarmament. When we look at the oppressed condition of colored peoples all over the world, especially in Africa, we will find, if we analyze that condition, that it is due at bottom to the fact that the so-called great nations of the world are armed. The fact that a million Englishmen in South Africa can hold in utter subjection ten millions of men is because those million Englishmen have magazine rifles, machine guns, cannon, war ships, airships, and all of the other paraphernalia of modern warfare. The only way in which these subjugated peoples can ever throw off the yoke will be through disarmament of the overlording nations or through arming themselves. At present the former is more feasible.
There is to be a great disarmament parade by the women in New York City on Saturday, November 12th. Arrangements are being perfected for a parade that will march up Fifth avenue from Washington Square on that day, rain or shine. Undoubtedly, thousands of women will participate. Colored women should take part, a part which will show that they, too, are interested in this great movement in behalf of civilization and humanity. They should show that they, too, realize that in the final analysis the burden and the betrayance of war fall upon the hearts of the women.
INTELLIGENCE IN WORSHIP
Despite the great advance made in the reduction of the ratio of illiteracy and the spreading of public instruction through the community, there is apparent at times a greater need of intelligence in the conduct of religious services. This was strikingly manifested by the report of a happening at a funeral field in a Baptist Church in Flushing last week. According to various newspaper reports, the clergyman who officiated at the services held over the remains of Thomas Bass, in the sermon declared that the deceased could not be saved.
This reflection upon the dead man so offended his former employer who were present, that they abruptly stopped the services and had the body taken to the cemetery, where the burial service was read before the inctment. In justice to the minister, the Royal Henry Parker, who is a gardener occupation, it must be said that he denied intending any reflection upon the dead and claimed that he was understood as he was repeating his text.
However this may be there have been other ministers besides Mr. Parker who were not gardens by occupation but devoted their whole time to presenting, who have been equally important in their choice of topics in a funeral discourse. Some of their central orators seemed to take pleasure in dragging to the, light some weakness of the dead person of whose coffin they stood, an ing a sermon excoriating the sin and hinting that it was doubtful the nation was possible for the such a sinner. Of course, such trankinness could not hurt the deceased it was not exactly comforting to the window and orphans and other relatives who had to listen to the tactile praesents.
There is some justification, therefore, to be advanced for the action taken by the former employers of the dearest man in Flushing, in resenting and shaming what they understood to be a selfish upon his character. Warranted on the funeral service is no place for such aspersions, and if nothing goes can be said of the departed in better to consign the body to the grave with the simple service for the dead which applies to saint and sinner alike.
The introduction of greater intelligence into the plan and practice of religious worship, both on the part of pulpit and pew, should furnish a faithful theme for discussion of priests' meetings and ministers' contests. Those who have the might of the late on their side should also exercise the mercy of the Lord.
As a popular afterdinner orator used to put it, previous to the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment, he feared the power of the pulpit more than the power of the law. For at the law when the law did its worst in condemning the offender to death, the judge invoked mercy on his soul, but the anathema of the church consigned the fiering soul to eternal damnation. Interview of the matter is likely someone strained, but serves to illustrate the priestly power that should be used with discretion and intelligence.
IS CITY LIFE DECADENT
An Episcopal tector of one of the city churches recently took a most simistic view of the morals and owners of Manhattan. Dr. William N. man Gutheric, rector of the Church St Mark-in-the-Bouwerie told students at Si Stephen's College. Ananime N. Y. in a lecture last year that "civilization has to all practice purposes disappeared from the city in New York." He said that it takes a genius or one who has had more prejudices thoroughly inculcated youth to retain moral standards when living here. He continued:
"The island of Manhattan is an impossible place. Even the standard of decency have disappeared. Politically, the city is decadent because a sense of social responsibility has appeared from most of the people who are content to be governed by a tiny group of Irishmen manipulating Hebrew votes."
While this picture of a decadent illization seems somewhat overdrama there is something to be allowed to the difficulty of retaining moral standards under certain untavorable conditions.
We do not know whether Dr. Guthrie is familiar with the condition obtaining at the West 135th Street Branch of the S. M. C. A., or not. His point as to the difficulty of maintaining moral standards should be considered by the directors of the Central Board, who perestrist in keeping in touch a secretary who has lost his usurious.
Discussing the apparent delay in Republican national administration making Negro appointments, the Browning Counter asks the question of Harding or ourselves? It adopts
We had just as well stop caring the President and the leaders. I know we are divided. They know we simply will not agree. They know we have sighs Negroes who would get or see the whole race go without appointments than sacrifice their selfishness. Knowing all this, there is no need to any anxiety on the part of the party leaders over Negro appointments. What we need to do is show a mind from to the party leaders for SOM, man and we will get that man. The fault is with the Negroes. They are not forgerer.
The great question is how to get them together then, in substantial agreement on a policy, that will work the greatest good for the greatest number. Those with the correct answer will confer a slight by forwarding it to the above

F. B. S. Circle's Star Recital Given Under Frigid Conditions
The second annual all-star recital under the auspices of the F. B. S. Circle New Star was on Friday night, October 21st, was given under very unpredictable conditions. In the first place, the hall management inflicted extreme hardship on the audience, as well upon those participating in the program, facing the slightest bit of heat in the building. At least there was no inaudible rumination used for the recital. And the atmosphere was decidedly warm.
The impact of temperature caused discomfort to the audience, producing malaise that interfered with the serene and calm composure of the hearers, and about an inertiveness calculated to wreck the efforts of the audience-making artist. As I was one of the sufferers, I know what I am about. Many of the audience, during the rendition of the program, felt and moved about in the rear of the hall in an effort to achieve the warmth, while those who remained in their santa twisted and extended that took their attention from the work of the performers.
It is sure that the hall management is criminally culpable when it knew in advance the full financial toll required for the use of its amuse-ble audience to provide reasonable comforts for the patrons.
The program presented by the F. B. S. Circle through its Mr. W. Clinton, named Miss Cleota Collins, soprano, of Columbus, Ohio, and J. J. Hammond, composer-pianist, of Philadelphia. In addition to these, an American David L. Martin of the Martin-Smith Music School, Harold Simmelkjaer, dramatic reader, and pupils from Dancing, Grace Giles, instructor, gave several numbers. Hammond, pianist, played the accompaniments for Miss Collins and Grace Metabie, violinist, of Philadelphia, assisted Mr. Hebron, general of the latter's compositions.
He presented in the appearance of Miss Collins. She is an artist with a vocal equipment of more than the average merit, more rounded and mature than when she appeared two years ago. She suffered, however, from the arctic conditions as much as did her audience. Her singing was flawless in execution, but lacking in warmth and color. She was impressed by the accomplished little Miss Thomas, whose work immediately in view of the untoward conditions obtaining. Mr. Hebron was disappointing. He exhibited nothing that recognition as a concert pianist, and his compositions, and then some trace of melodic attractiveness, were not of a high ranking. He presented three numbers, a Danse that might be called a berceuse, entitled "Mammy," and his piece de résistance, a Sonata, in four movements, an antheme, an scherzo allegro con spirito, and rondo allegro). He conformed to accepted forms, but there was a paucity of imagination which resulted in an offering deficient in little kids presented by Miss Grace Giles relieved the bright spot which contributed perhaps the only warmth during the evening.

MUSIC NOTES
Providence R. L.-On Monday evening, October 10th, Mrs. Nellie Moore Mundy, pianist-lecturer, and Miss Mimie Brown, soprano, both of New York City, appeared in a lecture-recital exposition of the "Folk Song of the American Negro," rendering a program which has been given during several seasons in the course of educational lectures conducted by the New York City Board of Education. They were presented by Pond Street Baptist Church at the Trinity auditorium.
These artists were received by a large and enthusiastic audience. Mrs. Mundy's impressiveness and charm as a speaker enabled her to present in an able manner her knowledge of the subject. Mimie Brown's beautiful voice and race
part was a series of great glances to see Barbara. It is hoped by Providence folks that these actions may return in the spring.
A pleasant feature of the evening was the presence of Mane. Susanneetta Jones, famous in years gone by as the "Black Patii." Mrs. Jones, now retired from the army, lives in Providence. She is in splendid health and presents an appearance which is the epitome of prosperity. Her presence was especially gratifying to Miss Brown, who in the beginning of her musical career, had been encouraged and helped by "Black Patii."
The New York Musician's Proactive Bureau, inc., David A. Demond, general manager, has announced the forthcoming appearance in a joint recital of Revella Hughes, soprano, and Edwin Coxes, pianist, at St. Mark's hall, 57 West 138th street, at 8:30 o'clock, Sunday evening, October 30th. Misa Hughes is of the faculty of Jackson School of Music, West 138th street, and she is one of the young singers who has taken a place in the front rank by virtue of an exceptionally good voice which has had the benefit of intelligent and effective training. She is a proficient pianist and, is thoroughly musically in temperament and character. Mr. Coates is a pianoforte graduate of Darmisch Institute of Musical Art, in which institution he sustained a high rating. He is, in addition to his recital work, teaching the pianoforte and harmony at the Martin-Smith Music School of New York City.
NEW BOOK ON AFRICAN MUSIC
Mrs. Namile Curtis has given us another folk song book, this time giving her attention to Africa in "Songs and Tales from the Dark Contient," published by Schirmer, New York. I have not seen the book, but the following review from the Dallas (Texas) Morning News is so interesting. I am sure readers of this column will not object to its reproduction.
"This goes well with an accompaniment on the wobble. Or if that be some what out of tune the malimba will serve as well, provided it be skillfully twanged. The words are not Esperanto. They are Ndeau, or something of the sort. At any rate, the happy little boys and girls in Africa sing "To-to-file" when they go out to hunt red bullfrogs. The best time for this sport is when it is raining. And "To-to" in the song is intended to represent the sound of falling raindrops. It does that, too, rather effectively, as a cryout will show.
"The words of To-to" and many other songs with metrical and literal translations, musical settings, interpretations, explanations and an informative foreword—are all to be found in this book, which is, if not the most interesting, certainly one of the most unusual volumes offered us in a decade. It is a transcription and preservation of the folk things of Africk, set down with painstaking fidelity from the originals as sung by natives of the Dark Continent—and these prove that in customs and passions and hopes and joys and sorrows the black folk are a human people, after all and that they have a well-defined and distinctive culture of their own. More than that, it is proved knew that they have a melodic gift which is inherent and untrammeled.
For these songs and tales Miss Curtis is indebted to outstanding representatives of two of the most important tribes of Africa—the Ndau and the Zulu. Her most helpful and resourceful co-operator—he might be termed her collaborator—was C. Kamba Simango, whose full-length portrait in native costume features the volume Simango came up through the hardships and employment at tasks of servitude in Portuguese East Africa, until his exceptional ability attracted the attention and enlisted the interest of white friends. He was sent to the United States for a

courses in Hampton Institution. Where for made a record that grammar and is now an informing language Alyssa is a student in Columbia. For this the bishop of Mango sang many of the songs of his people, affording not only the most text of the original, but also immediately act English translations, together with the music for them, reproduced and interpreted by him on the mute.
"They are striking things, of but slightly more interest for musicians than they should prove to be for the general reader who lives to make ethnic discoveries. Equally impressive are the transcriptions from tribal songs and tales of the Zulu tribe, made possible through the aid of Madhume Quandaryane Cele, of royal Zulu blood. Cele, like Simango, had his day at Hampton Institute, where he developed into all unexpected things—an orator whose talent was acclaimed as brilliant.
"There are love songs here to prove that the African is not a stranger to the grand passion. There are mythical songs here, weirdly, ritualistic things that afford glimpses of the religious side of the tribal people. Dance song, war song, and child song alternate under their classification to give the voluble impressive variety. These are touched with legend or with laughter as the case may be. The quality of the music, which is given for many of the songs, can only be appraised by musicians. But the likelihood is that the words in most cases go with a strange and canning score, in some way close to the improvisations of the American Negro.
"The folk-tales are fewer in number than the songs, but they impress with a flavor and substance almost Aesopian. That seems remarkable enough, but wonder is increased when one reads in a comprehensive introduction to the volume that the African had a culture of his own before the European came to flower—that he had adopted iron to his use many years before the primitive white man had discarded wooden implements and utensils. It is further recorded that the population of black Africa at this time number 200,000,000—that all of African descent, inclusive of those scattered throughout the world, number approximately 300,000,000.
"Three facts are essential to an appreciation of the things, of which this book is chiefly made, and justify the contention of Miss Curtis that we should know more of the African peoples. These songs and stories will quicken that interest which she urges. They are intriguing bits, made understandable under the translator's touch. If further example were needed this Zulu lullaby should suffice:
Subjected to metrical translation which corresponds with exactness to the rhythmic accents of the African original this reads:
O hush thee, baby. O hush thee;
Thy mother is not with thee,
She tarried in the mountains.
The zigzag trail hath led her—
Iwaa!
For certain of these offerings the compiler also acknowledges her indebtedness to authorities on African life, including white masseuses, who have given it study at close range. This volume is made more valuable by the addition of an appendix which gives the key to pronunciation of the Chindu text together with interlinear translations.
P. S. 90 to Present Pageant.
The teachers and children at P. S. 90 have prepared a pageant in connection with "America's Making," which is to be presented at the school, 134th 135th streets and Lenox avenue on the evening of Thursday, October 27, at 8 o'clock.

He told interestingly the story of Ptolemy's mistake in the drawing of his geographical map, the led Christopher - Columbus to discover America, great Christian America, and of the Pilgrims, and their "little beginnings" their desire to serve God as their hearts directed them, in full religious freedom.
He believed that the "little beginning" so full of religious fervor, would be even as the "Mayflower," a speck on the horizon of our religious sea, the means of bringing forth good a thousand and fold, even as the Pilgrims, brought with them the "Bright Spirit" the principles of religion as Christ taught it. There was open to us the grand opportunity, the able possibility of doing great things, a blessing not only to Harlem, but to Christianity the world over, for we have Christ in all over all and through all.

THE OPENING OF THE BISHOP
BURGH MEMORIAL CHURCH.
On Sunday, October 23rd, the first
service of the Bishop Burgh Memorial
Church was held at the Martin-Smith
Music School, 139 West 130th street.
The special benediction of the All-Loving
and Martial Father permeated
the place; the day was perfect, a ver-
tifiable expression of "This is the day
the Lord hath made, we will rejoice
and be glad in it." In an atmosphere
of music, where music is taught, not
only to gladden the heart of man, but
also where cristian harmonies, suggestive
of the "Spheres" uplifting to the
soul and acceptable to God.
One hundred and fifty persons as-
sembled with heart, and voice to bring
into being "A New Child of the Episcopal
Church," and to get start a work
undertaken for the furtherance of God's
Kingdom, to express His power to
His Honor and to His Glory.
The service began with the singing of the 491st hymn, "The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord." The opening prayers were offered by the leader and chairman of the movement, Clarence Robinson, and A. H. Durham read the psalms. The fervor of purpose, and the solemnity that rang through their voices was at once a dedication and a consecration to the occasion.
Mr. Robinson spotted sitting on the purpose of the work, and conveyed clearly the message of "Christ" on the movement; he told of the work as it being done; of the Sunday-school, of the plan for the financial drive, of the application for official recognition of the organization and the "need of it, fact on compelling, so evidently true, and vitally real, that this fact went home to the hearts of all that heard him. In a population of one hundred and thirty thousand people all to closely grouped as in Harlem there was only one self-supporting parish. What a wealth of souls! What an opportunity for a Church, founded in the Spirit of Christ in all, over all, and through all is here in the Vineyard of Harlem. The choir, a hurriedly-organized one, was a credit to the organizer Ed. Bascome, and O. M. Thompson played the organ with a very credible result. The altar, in charge of Mrs. Louis Corbin, was appearing in its simple array; the cross standing out impressively pointing ever upwards and onward.
The preacher for the day was incidentally far away across the sea, the Rev. P. A. Cochran of St. Stephens Parish, St. Margaret's Bay, Jamaica. B. W. I. His text was taken from Zachariah 4:10 "For who hath despised the day of small things," and from James 3:05 "Bekhold how great a matter a little fire kindleeth." With simple and telling eloquence he illustrated his text. The subject chosen by divine inspiration kindled the fire of inspiration and encouragement in the

THE Pathe Film Exchange, through its publicity manager, announces that two of Harris Dickson's pictures, "bringing out the natural humor of the colored man," will be released for distribution in the near future. Cooperation of the Negro press is sought.
Accompanying the announcement is a statement by Harris Dickson, himself, referring to his qualifications as a delineator of Negro life in the following verbiage:
"Whatever else may be said about this class of my work, it is true to type and founded upon a life-long association with all sorts of Negroes. I am a Southerner, as my people have been for many generations; since colonial days they have been planters, lawyers, doctors and soldiers always thrown more or less with Negroes. Therefore, I have known Negroes since I have known anything, and all kinds of them. I know the criminals from tenteen years' experience in the courts, all over the South; with three years additional as city judge. I know the household type, of course, the river Negroes from being con-
stantly on the boats, the agricultural Negro from being with him on the plantations; and the woods Negro from hunting and fishing with them. I have also known many of their politicians. From the perfectly naked savage in the jungles of Africa, I've known them right along the line to the patent-leathered and silk-hatted colored congressman from South Carolina, the last colored man I believe that ever sat in the House of Representatives. In addition to this I have read everything I could get my hands on and tried to comprehend the reasons for what I saw around me.
Mr. Dickson sincerely believes he is an authority on Negro life. The truth is he only knows types of the Southern Negro. I am impelled to make this observation after recalling that some years ago I stopped reading "The Saturday Evening Post," because in Mr. Dickson's stories he not only sought to make the plantation Negro ridiculed but the professional Negro as well. In one of his stories he had a colored doctor using "this" and "dat" and other language of which no eighth grade child would be guilty.
I became so incensed over this insult to the intelligent Negro that I wrote a letter of protest to the magazine, setting up the contention that the colored doctor, in particular, was being grossly misrepresented. I received the usual stereotyped letter in reply. That was all.
Mr. Dickson has never heard colored physicians use the language of the illiterate and uneducated, and yet he does not hesitate to poke fun at them with the same vigor and consistency as he does at lower types. Were it not for this unfair tendency I must confess that some of his stories would prove delightful reading.
The trouble with Mr. Dickson is that he fails to take us seriously. He looks upon all of us out of humorous eyes. He seems utterably unconscious of the fact that there are thousands among us who possess dignity, education and refinement. We, too, have in our race planters, lawyers, doctors and soldiers, as he says his people have been for many generations.
One colored performer who went to Vicksburg, Miss., to work in the Dickson comedies upon returning to New York was quoted as saying he had never gone through so much "niggerism" in all his cancer. However I shall not discuss the merits of the pictures until I have seen them, as I am in no position to do so. I hope I am to be agreeably surprised.
That the entire Negro race is not held up to ridicule is my one hope.

Although an unusually interesting picture, "Why Girls Leave Home," is being shown at the Lafayette theatre this week, crowds have been flocking there to see the vaudeville program that is being shown. This bill is headed by Gertrude Saunders, late of the "Snuffle Along" company in several blue songs, and other jazzy tunes. Jones and Jones, in a funny monologue about the hardships of a recent Southerner in the North, tan Gertrude Saunders a close second in the amount of appliance from the audience.
"The Divided Woman," a European mystery novel, also drew a big applause from the audience, as did Simms and Warneid, two boys from Dixie. Other acts on the program included Morlin aml Bell in a singing act, and Gale Maze and the Dyer sisters in a singing and dancing act.
Next week's bill will be headed by Patrine Frederick in "The Sting of the Lash" with five good vaudeville acts.
THE LINCOLN THEATRE
"A Virginia Paradise" a story of the single and of isolated hypocrisy written by Hiram Petty Maxim and produced as a super special by William Fox, is being shown at the Lincoln Theatre beginning Thursday. The scenes include the destruction of the entire population of a South Sea island by a volcanic eruption, with the exception of an infant girl, daughter of a missionary, and her native nurse, and the burning of a palatial country place on Long Island.
The girl, Gratia Latham, grows to young womanhood in a half savage state on the island, with lions, apes and other wild animals as her only companions after the death of her nurse. She is discovered by a searching party in a sleamer after the last fallen heir, to a

Panama Joe Gans Defeats Nero Chink
Considerable interest was aroused in
Harlem over the bout last week between
Nero Chink and Panama Joe Gans, and
several thousand Harlemites turned out
at the Commonwealth Sporting Club on
Saturday night, October 22, to witness
this contest. Nero Chink, who hails
from Cuba or some part of the West
Indies, had an unusually large following.
His supporters make a great deal of
money in his behalf before the fight be-
gan. But after three or four rounds of
fighting, most of them turned to Gans,
who led the fight from start to finish
and won nine of the twelve rounds. Of
the other Grace rounds two were drawn,
and one was won by Chink. Gans
weighed 152½ pounds, and Chink
weighed 156½.

Raleigh, N. C.—Although Hampton and Shaw began playing football in 1907, Hampton played its first game in the League Park at Raleigh on Friday, October 21st, 1921.
Under clear skies said with weather made to order, the two teams battled for three quarters without either being able to score. The Shawites entered the game with considerable confidence, as they defeated Hampton last season, 19 to 10.
The last quarter was sensational. Hampton appeared to be getting the advantage at Williams on Shaw made a dash of 75 yards and Hampton left end for a touchdown. His interference was perfect, taking every

The second portrays the evolution of the Stars and Stripes correlative with territorial expansion and commercial ascendance resultant upon immigration. The third discloses the remarkable progress of the colored people by initiative, intelligence and industry revealed through the advantages of education. The fourth emphasizes the greatest heritage America holds for her people native or foreign born and presents the greatest gift they, in turn, bring to the Genius of America.
Special features of the program will be patriotic songs and Negro spirituals. There will be folk-dancing in the costumes of the many nationalities that
Hampton man out of the play. The goal was missed. The Shaw rooters were wild with joy. As there were only eleven minutes remaining to play, victory seemed certain. Hampton received the kick-off. In the next ten minutes of play, they planted the pick-up behind their goal line without one losing it. God was kicked and the score stood 7 to 6 in Hampton's favor. Both teams displayed some of the old-time fighting spirit that has made their wins famous. The game was one of the clearest and hardest fought games ever witnessed in Raleigh. The sportsmanship exhibited added much to the pleasure of the spectators.

"OPEN DOOR" PAGEANT
AT CARNEGIE HALL
"The Open Door," a Negro pageant with music, will be given at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday, November 2nd, at 8:30 p.m., for the benefit of Atlanta University.
The pageant is a simple and dignified allegory, built around many of the old Negro plantation melodies and spirituals, and based on the history of the Negro race. It takes the Negro from the darkness of savagery and ignorance, follows his progress through ages of slavery and oppression, and finally leads him into the light through the open door of emancipation and education.
The histrionic talent of the Negro has been gaining recognition steadily; the Negro as a. Broadway entertainer can delimitely claim a place, and now comes this production, using for the most part untrained talent to present a poetic spectacle which demands its cast both artistic feeling and penetration. It has been given in several large cities: both North and South, with great success. The music, consisting for the most part of old time plantation melodies and spirituals, rendered by a chorus of 100 trained Negro voices, gives it a place in the hearts of music lovers. Orchestra, solo chorus, dance rhythms, all are used. Atlanta University has been an open door to the Negro youth of the country since its founding, more than fifty years ago. A large proportion of its graduates become teachers, and it is estimated that in the United States today

At the towns and native villages along his line of march, Bishen Chair was met by crowds of enthusiastic natives who came out several miles to meet and welcome the Afro-American bishop who had come to work for their advancement. He was received and honored by many local and tribal chieftains, all of whom besought him to send a Christian preacher and teacher to Jive and work in their midst. These people, according to Bishop Chair, are intensely desirous of having their children taught the rudiments of education and the Christian religion. He found they knew a great deal of America and of their race brethren here, and that they are anxious to follow in the same footsteps. Delegations of chiefs and sub-chiefs from tribes farther in the depths of the jungle visited him at a number of points to request that he send missionaries to teach them and their children the religion and civilization of America. Some of these delegations came from far distant regions, and had trekked for days to meet the American Negro bishop.
Bishop Clair reported excellent progress and high devotion displayed by the corps of Negro and white missionaries under his supervision.
On Monday evening, October 31st, ween party at the church. Pine Probe The Rainbow Circle will give a Hallogram, Committee, Mrs. Copeland and Mr. Davenport.

Remarks by Mrs. Silverberg; closing prayer Mrs. Tate; Pastor Bolden spoke of the church activities after which refreshments were served.
The play entitled "A Case of Duphity," which was rendered Friday night by Mrs. Sarah Vessels, Mrs. Carrie Eletcher and Wm. Townsend was a successful affair. The church was crowded and the audience enjoyed every moment. The following program was also enjoyed: Recitation, Harold Elli; solo, Wm. E.

large congregations. Rev. Wallace MacMullen, district superintendent, was the speaker at the moreing service and delivered a forceful and inspiring sermon. Text: Hebrews, 2nd chapter and 1st verse. Theme: Truth. In the evening, Rev. Gilbert Wilson was the occupant of the pulpit and preached an able and thrilling sermon. Text: Judges, 11th chapter and 15th verse. Theme: Jephtha's vow to God.

National Conference to By M. E. Church in Detroit
Detroit, Mich.—A national conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church is to be held in Central M. E. Church, this city. November 15-17, for the consideration of the church's missionary and benevolent interests. The attendance programmed a Howard University E. Jones of E. first two Negro M. E. Church of this night.
The Sunday School was largely attended and the collection good. There was a large attendance at the services of the Epworth League. A special program was rendered under the auspices of Miss Ella Llewellyn. Dinner was served in the Church House by Class No. L., Mrs. S., B., Whitehurst was in charge. During the day five persons joined the church. Next Sunday, October 30, Rev. Frederick H. Handy will preach at the morning service and the pastor, Dr. W. H. Brooks will be the speaker at the evening service. During the day, the choir rendered excellent music.
Mother Zion Church
The beautiful sunshine which prevailed throughout the day was sufficient to offset the cool gnome sphere that is usually evident at this time of the year, and rendered the day agreeable for those who were desires of attending church. At the eleven o'clock service there was one of the largest audiences that we have ever seen at Mother Zion. The services were opened promptly at the usual time. The pastor, Dr Brown, preached. At the conclusion of the season opportunity was given those desiring to join the church. Sixteen persons came forward, were accepted and received their class assignments.
At one o'clock Dr. Brown preached the funeral of Joseph Kucorn, a 32nd degree Mason, (F. & A. M.) The funeral was largely attended by members of this fraternity as well as friends. The deceased was buried with the usual maganic rites.
At 2 o'clock the Sunday School convened. This too was creditably attended. By reason of the funeral, the Sunday School assembled in the basement of the church, which was inadequate in space, swearing to the large number present. Half of the time usually allotted to the Sunday School was given to the Missionary Society of the church, of which Mrs. Shemo is the superintendent of Mrs. Shemo had a splendidly prepared program. The young people who participated did themselves great credit. At 8 p.m. dr. Brown preached the annual sermon to the Four Leaf Clover Social Club. The ladies being attired in costumes of white, made quite a pleasing appearance:
On next Sunday, October 30th, at 11 o'clock, Dr. Brown will preach, using as his subject, "The Falling Leaves." In October of each year the pastor preaches a sermon from this subject, Judging from these previously heard, it will be one worth hearing. The "Falling Leaves" be portrays as typical of us who pass off the stage of life when our usefulness shall have come to an end.
The Tuesday evening class and the Friday evening prayer and praise services are being largely attended, and are also becoming inspiringly interesting.

Through the influence of Alderman Charles H.

This resolution saved the Abyssinian Baptist Church about $2,000 and the others, and members of the church wish to express their sincere thanks to the members of the Aldermane Council in general, and Alderman Roberts in particular, for this favor.
The church was packed again at both services Sunday. The assistant pastor at 11 a.m. discussed most interestingly the necessity of the race working out its own commercial, political, mental, moral and spiritual salvation. The pastor preached a special sermon from the subject "Move or Die" at the evening service to the members of the United Banquet and Beneficial Association and their invited guests. Among the guests were the Ladies Auxiliary-United Banquet Beneficial Society, Ladies Southern Beneficial League, Ladies Auxiliary Clubmen Beneficial League, Howard Union League, Beneficial and, Social Society, Thomas Griggs, president of the Southern Beneficial League, was master of ceremonies Miss Hattie Forsyth and Mrs. Lucy Henson rendered solos and the music by the choir for the entire day was unusually good.
