East Side Bandits Stopped By Chas. David, Negro Guard
Night Watchman in Phipps' Model Apartments Kills One and Wounds Another of Six Robbers Who Held Up Superintendent of 63rd St. Apt.
Charles David is employed as night watchman in the Phipps model apartments which include 243 West 63rd street. That he is well qualified for the job was evidenced Thursday afternoon, December 22nd, when six members of the "Red Flannagan" gang of Second avenue held up Miss Maria Stockinger, superintendent, and Mrs. May Trimm, caretaker, of the apartments, in the superintendent's office at No. 243. One bandit is dead and one is in the hospital with a shattered jaw as the result of David's marksmanship.
Miss Stockinger, a white woman, forty years old, was in her office, on the ground floor, counting rent monies which she had collected from the tenants. With her was Mrs. Trimm, a colored woman. As the agent had not called for the money there was about $800 in the office. A few minutes after two clock five men entered the office with drawn revolvers. Caps were drawn down over their eyes and handkerchiefs covered the lower parts of their faces.
the driver was opening up his engine, and when he saw that the man on the sidewalk would not be able to get in the car he threw in the clutch and stepped on the accelerator.
As the car jumped away David turned his gun and as it flashed, the man at the wheel shivered and threw his hand to his jaw. He kept on driving, but the car jerked and wobbled from side to side as it traveled.
Police Show Up.
One of the men stamped over the screen and ordered the superintendent to open the gate. When she obeyed, another robber came through and the two of them were soon in possession of the 800. One of the men picked up Miss Stockinger's handbag from one of the desk drawers, but put it back, saying, "We don't want your money. We only want to rob the rich. They can afford it." Then they left, thinking they were all dead. But they reckoned without Charl
David Gets Into Action
He was coming into the office and had discovered what a brown and white taxi was waiting for in front of the building, and his curiosity had also been stirred by seeing a man walking up and down the pavement, looking about as though he was on watch. When he saw the five men coming out of the superintendent's office. David quickly possessed himself of a pistol bus, by the time he could get back to the door the five men were in the car and the lookout had one foot on the running board.
In the meantime Miss Stockinger had jumped to the telephone and was frantically calling Central, asking the operator to give her Police Headquarters. Before the easygoing telephone operator jaw fit to shift her ward of chewing gum and plug in for "Spling 1000," things were happening outside.
As David appeared with revolver in hand, a warning cry caused the lookout to turn, with gun in hand, and he fired pointblank at the colored watchman. The bullet sped by David's head with a whinch but when David pulled trigger and his gun spoke, the man on the running board of the car slowly crumpled down to the ground, but when he reached a sitting posture he continued pumping bullets into the doorway where David was standing. In the meantime

12,000,000 Colored People Ask Anti-Lynching Action
Congressman Ansorge of New York Declared That Time Has Long Arrived for Congressional Action—Ample Power to Enforce Legislation
(Special to The New York Age)
Washington, D. C.—In the fight to have Congress give precedence to consideration of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, one of the strongest supporters of that action was Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, representative from the 21st district, New York City. In his speech favoring immediate action, Mr. Ansorge declared that the time arrived a long time ago for Congress to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing life, liberty and property, and that 12,000,000 patriotic-colored Americans and more millions of whites are fervently hoping that Congress will enact legislation that will forevermore wipe the stain of lynching from the pages of American history.
This sentiment was greeted by prolonged and hearty applause from the Republican side of the House, the Democrats sitting continuously silent and sullen. In the unsuccessful filibuster created by Representative Garrett of Tennessee, hoping to delay immediate action, Mr. Ansorge was energetic and active in seeing that a museum was kept by the members. It was brought out in his speech that the Congress is empowered by Section V of the 14th Amendment to enforce by legislation the provisions of the Amendment. Mr. Ansorge spoke in part as follows:

the driver was opening up his engine, and when he saw that the man on the sidewalk would not be able to get in the car he threw in the clutch and stepped on the accelerator. As the car jumped away David turned his gun and as it flashed, the man at the wheel shivered and threw his hand to his jaw. He kept on driving, but the car jerked and wobbled from side to side as it traveled.
The men in the car were not idle all this time. Their guns were spitting too, but not a bullet found its mark. From a block away Policeman Pray was coming on the run, and as the car speeded off on its twisting journey the officer spattered five bullets against its rear. The car sped west through 30rd street to West End avenue, where it turned down town. Patrolman Patrick Monhan was on this thoroughfare, hastening towards the sound of biring when the cab passed him. Three shots from the taxi cab as it passed him set the officer to commandeering an automobile to follow the bandits.
The fleeing men drove South on West End avenue to where it meets Eleventh avenue and then down to 50th street. At this corner, the chauffer lost control of the car and it dashed into the rear of a truck. The five men abandoned the car and started to walk toward 10th avenue. Another cop, Patrolman Gunther, saw them, noting that one's face was bleeding. He stopped. When the men saw him stop they began to run. Gunther captured the wounded man but the others made good their escape. Monhan soon came up in a commandered machine and he and Gunther took the man. John Little, 24, chauffer, of 208 East 44th street, to Roosevelt Hospital.
When they got there Petrolman Prav was in the lobby of the accident reception room. The lookout was dead. David's first shot had struck just above the man's heart. Finger prints showed the slain bandit to be James Breen, boilermaker, of Buffal, N. Y., No. 49, 163 in the Rogue's Gallery, having served terms in the Buffalo House of Refuge and Sing Sing for burglary. David was taken to the office of District Attorney Swan on Thursday afternoon, but was released immediately after telling his story of the shooting.

Withdrawing Resignation, Dr. Powell Accepts 5-Yr. Call
Two weeks ago THE AGE told the story of the resignation of Rev. A Clayton Powell as pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church and of the congregation's refusal to accept said resignation.
Such tremendous influence was brought to bear upon Dr. Powell by the members and friends that he agreed to remain as pastor at least five years longer. It was the largest church meeting in the history of the organization and the members voted unanimously and enthusiastically to accept every proposition in the statement submitted by the pastor.
The members of Abyssinian and Dr. Powell's many friends are rejoicing that he is to continue to serve in the city of New York.

Body of Late Gov. Pinchback Laid to Rest in Louisiana
(Washington, D. C.-P. B. S. Pinchback, aged 84 years, the only colorid man who ever served as a Governor of one of the States of the Union, died here Wednesday, December 21st, at his home, 1341 U street, Northwest. He served as Governor of Louisiana from December 6th, 1872, to January 16th, 1873. He had been elected Lieutenant-Governor and upon the impidiment of Governor Warmoth, succeeded to the gubernatorial chair.
Governor Pinchback was born in Macon, Georgia, in 1837. At the outbreak of the Civil War he joined the Louisiana native guards. He served as State Senator and delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention of 1888 and 1884. He also served as president of the board of Police Commissioners of New Orleans and as a member of the School Board.
President Arthur appointed him Surveyor of the Port of New Orleans. After waging a campaign for a seat in the United States Senate, Pinchback was rejected by a vote of 32 (to 2). In 1872 he was elected representative at large from Louisiana, but refused to take the oath, preferring to continue his Senatorial campaign.
He came to Washington about thirty years ago, and lived in a beautiful home on U Street, Northwest. Funeral services were held at his late home and the remains taken to New Orleans for burial by his son, Walter. The pall bearers were Judge Robert H. Terrell, Daniel Murphy, Dr. Edward D. Williston, Henry P. Slaughter, Whitfield McKinney and Henry Lincoln Johnson.
her gifts. The first was a black and white stripped silk knotted tie which Mrs McWhorter knotted herself. But what the President was more interested in was a box of nut cookies, for which Mrs McWhorter is famous. He sampled one right away, and so did his secretary and two Secret Service men. The President was quite overcome at his visitor's thoughtfulness.
"Ingrid, you're the best cook in the world," he said, to which she not, the least ruffled, replied "Yes, sir. I've heard that before."
Mrs McWhorter became famous during the front porch campaign at Marion. She cooked the delicious warbirds that were such an important part of every day's program. When Senator and Mrs Harding left Marion to Washington she came along, but not to enter the White House.
It seems that Mrs McWhorter has a pronounced streak of Indian blood along with her Negro strain. Mrs Harding decided it was unwise to place her among the large staff of servants at the White House, bearing in mind one or two incidents at Marion when Mrs McWhorter brandished a carving knife with dangerous effect, even though she never used the weapon. So the cook was placed with a wealthy family here, and today used the family motor in coming to the White House and bearing gifts to her old employer.

Washington, D. C.—Congressmen from Southern States are protesting against the serving of Negroes in the House of Representatives restaurant in the Capitol Representative Aswell of Louisiana is responsible for the latest quillition.
A few days ago he wrote a letter to Representative Ireland, Republican of Illinois, who is chairman of the committee which is in charge of the restaurant management, declaring that he had seen tour Negroes eating in the restaurant during the last few days and wanting to know under whose authority they were admitted. Southern congressmen, he said, wanted to know, if this was to be the practice under the present Administration "so they may know whether to keep their families, friends and themselves away."
The restaurants in the Capitol have always been open to the citizens of the country, regardless of race, but few colored customers have served. Occasionally parties sightseeing have found it convenient to patronize these places and they were served without question until the Wilson Administration. There was some question of discrimination in the Senate restaurant which called forth letters of protest from a number of prominent colored men and organizations.
It is pointed out that the Representatives and their families have easy access to a number of convenient restaurants and hotels that are not available to Negro citizens. Inquiries coming from various sections of the country indicate that much interest is being exercised by the people as to the attitude of the Republican congressmen in the matter of closing the Home restaurant to any class of American citizen, and especially as to whether the Republican majority will be dominated by the people of the Southwest.
Christ's Natal Day is Commemorated by Congregations of all Denominations, the Churches being Thronged
Fine Musical Programs
Clergymen Preach Sermons Appropriate to Joyous Yuletide Season and Choirs Sing Oratorios, Cantatas, Anthems and Carols
In all of the churches of Greater New York there were special services in commemoration of the Nativity of Jesus Christ on Christmas Day, 1921, which was also, the Sabbath Day. The clergymen paid tribute in their sermons, the choirs sang specially prepared anthems of joy and good will, and the children in their various departments sang chorals and recited biblical passages telling of the coming of that Christ who later on was to say, "Suffer little children to come unto Me."
In many of the churches the choir-masters and organists had prepared special music. One of the most elaborate services rendered was that at Salem M. E. Church, where Rudolph Grant, choirmaster-organist, directed the singing of Handel's "Messiah" at the 7:30 p.m. service. The oratorio was preceded by a song service.
The congregation of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church heard the choir such a Christmas cantata, im direction of C. F. LeGarr, chormaster, at 8 p.m. and the Sunday-school gave a special program in the afternoon. Dr A. Clayton Powell at Abyssian Baptist Church, preached in God's Christmas Gift to the World" at the morning service. The evening service at St Mark's M. E. Church was devoted to Christmas carols and anthems sung by the choir under direction of E. Aldama Jackson, chormaster organist. The Sunday-school also sang special Christmas music with Miss Minute Brown as chorister.
The services at First Emmaus Church Rev. K. M. Balden pastor, were of a most elaborate nature, both from the pulpit and the choir channel, and were continued in the Christmas Monday afternoon. Other Manhattan churches held services in keeping with the spirit of the season.
The Brooklyn churches were in line with their sister churches in Manhattan, and all of them had large congregations out to hear special sermons and singing.
MOTHER ZION CHURCH
The services observed in Mother A M.E. Zion Church throughout the day last Sunday were highly appropriate the season. At the H. Hockle service N. Brown preached upon the A Vision of the Wise Men. There was the usual large, dense, ten person were received into the church. I meditated after the choir, at the preaching service the baptismal service was held, conducted by Rev. A. F Piggot. Four persons were baptized at 2 o'clock the Sun-less school convened. The regular lessons were dispensed with, and a specially prepared program was carried out. This exercise was highly appropriate, and was participated in by the young children of the Sunday-school who acquitted themselves excellently. At 4 o'clock the Lyceum held its regular weekly services, which, like the
other services were, in keeping with the spirit of the season, Mr. Wilfs, the president of the Lyceum, is deserving of great credit for his untiring activity in keeping alive this particular department of the church work. At 6:30 the Senior Vickr C. E Society held their services which were highly enjoyed. The music rendered by the C. E. choir, directed by Oliver Simms, was of an excellent order. At 8 o'clock, under auspices of the church choir of which C. E. LeGarr is the direction, a cantata specially prepared for the celebration of the Christmas festivals season, was rendered with Mr. Scott at organ. This concert of quartet, duet, solos, etc., in all the earl pipes, the three basses, and spirit was uniquely observed. At each concert of organics was made on the dimmer to be given to the old people of the art, and communities on Monday, December 20th. This dimmer was given to the church under the patronage of the Board of Stewards, of which a fellow Watson is the efficient chairman.
On Thursday evening December 29th, at 8 o'clock the funeral services of the late Alfred P. Pinson who departed this life Sunday, December 25th, at Watson, will be conducted in the church with the pastor Dr. Brown, entertaining Mr. C. E. was a faithful member of the church.

He was in the world and the world was made by him and the world knew him not subject to Jesus the light of the world. The pastor said, that God the Latter expressed through Jesus the highest light of natural order; this was demonstrated at His birth to the sta in the heaven and the persons and creatures that was illuminated of the religious and philosophical conceptions of human Kind.

Now, in the thirteenth of the New Year and in the first day at the record of the year, and point it seems appropriate to express the outstanding things that are necessary to the uphillage of the proof of the race, and which Tim Auster should for.
Now, as before the progress of the race in all departments of human endeavor it believes, in the highest development of race ideas and also in the application of practical common sense toward the improvement of those ideals. The present position of labor and thrift as practiced in their places as stopping points to higher things, as the cultivation of the arts and sciences.
National service progress along the lines of agricultural and business should be the calibration of high character and moral integrity. Health growth is not possible in an unhealthy fruit is sound at the present time. The Nut will continue to prove that the man and woman will be gone in its progress with the progress of the fruit will prove the technical success for the fruit is sound.
The A. W. C. will continue to condemn the wrong and import the right, regardless of individual or party. Importantly in this freedom necessary when in civil partnerships and their leaders import from established principles and salient rules, marital and citizenship rights to be defined political antagonism. We will therefore commend the political party that does the right thing and condemn the one that does the wrong.
To we will continue to insist that the door of opportunity be kept wide open to the educational and economic progress of the race. It will end enrollment with young and young women to enter upon the work, not the education, but as a provider of training for other things. With the help of the moral service will be the new poster line the business and the new intensive development. It will also make the meaning of the financial terms just for the effort expended.

court. He was the last member of
the 1910 General Competing those
hearsings in the case with which part in
the numerous criminal events that followed
the World War and ended with the
election of Robert F. B. Hayes and the
collapse of the Republican party in the
South. The only other survivor of that
period is Tom and Alice, former
Congressman J. R. Laych, now on the
retired list of the U.S. Army.
Pinkney Denton Stewart Pinchback was born in 1837, while his mother was traveling in the South, his father being a wealthy white Sutherland planner, who conferred freedom on his children by this colored woman. After acquiring a fair degree of education, young Pinchback was thrown on his own resources by the sudden death of his father. From 1854 to 1861 he made his livelihood by steamship on the Red Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Of undoubted courage and a fiery temperament, his career was marked by a lovely controversy with one of his white stepbrothers, which culminated in an exchange of blows and urges. In 1862 he resigned in the First Lunamian Volunteer Infantry and attained the rank of captain. This regiment was mastered into the United States service later to field for the Union, but Pinchback resigned after vainly contending against color prejudice in the army, which prevailed against recognizing colored commissioned officers.
Mr. Pinchback entered politics in 1862
was elected delegate to the Leni-
liam State Convention called for the pur-
pose of establishing a constitution and
grant government local to the Union. He
elected to the State Senate in 1863

legislation he continued until 1864.

ing the Leni-liam State Convention.
beans from 1871 to 1877 and also became president pro-tem of the State Senate.
In 1872 Mr. Pinchback was nominated for Governor, but withdrew in favor of William Pitt Kellogg, and was later nominated for Congress as Representative from the State at large. He served as lieutenant governor and acting Governor during the stormy political period of 1872-73 until elected United States Senator by the Legislature. This gave him the unique distinction of being a member-elect of both houses of Congress, but he was cheated out of his seat by the treachery of weakkneed Republicans in both chambers. The Senate refused him admission and his seat in the House was given to the white contestant. In 1873 Governor Kellogg appointed him as a commissioner from Louisiana to the Victoria exposition and in 1876 he was elected temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention. In 1892 President Arthur appointed him supervisor of the Port of New Orleans. The last Federal office held by him was internal Revenue agent at New York, which he held until the inning of the Wilson administration.
Loyal both to race and to party, Governor Pindiback was unimpromising in his assertion of personal independence and hardness of consequence in the expression of his views. In the darkest days for Republicanism in Louisiana, he fearlessly canvassed the State in the interest of the party, supported by that other courageous spirit, the Late General Thomas Merrus Chester.
Of these brave spirits of Reconstruction, it might well be said, "The Old Guard dies, but it never surrenders."
A CURIOUS CHRISTMAS CARD:
We notice that the niggers go to lunch rooms, dingle stores, and sit next to white girls. I try and hurt with them. If they did that in Atlanta, Ga, they would be shot.
The niggers in the South know their place, but the New York nigger is a disgrace not only to New York but to the nigger race. Fifteen niggers have been killed in the South in one year for molesting white girls—and in New York I see white women walking on the street with niggers. I am glad I am going back because if a nigger sat down next to me in a dingle store, I would shoot up the place. I like a nigger, but he has got to stay where he belongs.
C. Y. ANDERSON.
It is well that Mr. C. Y. Anderson, of that is his real name, is going back to Atlanta or wherever he came from before he begins to "shoot up" the town, as the police would probably take him in charge and be might he keeps North for a longer period in some public institution for the correction of his mentality and morality. It might even happen that it would fail to a Negro policeman to take him in charge. Persons possessing a mentality like that voted by Mr. Anderson, if it were as bad as he states it, should not be suffered to room around without a guardian. But we do not think his case is as bad as he states it. If he remained in New York a little longer he probably would have left the out of some of the allight incidents in Hudson as an unconscious nuisance.
A MUDDLED EDITOR
The editor of the New York News in his issue of last week, gave a touching exhibition of what he styled "real different influences against the progress of the race" in the shape of colored papers "under the management of almost illiterate and altogether unfitted editors." In fact so muddled did this editor become that he was unable to distinguish between the singular and the plural form of the verb. As for his other mal treatment of the "English language, such as the use of the term "epimutic" and the like, we forbear further reference.
The only statement that he made relevant to the issue was that "the City Clark has not motivated Alderman Harris officially otherwise" presumably relating to the canvassing of the vote in his district. If this means that Mr. Harris has been declared officially elected, we can only regret that the voters made such a mistake in their choice. The Act has had no reason to change its opinion as to the匀員ness of Alderman Harris for the position which he occupies, and we are inclined to the opinion that his future career will confirm that opinion. The editorial published in this paper last week gives ample evidence of his mulling propensities as an "editor."
According to the Minneapolis Mestner, several of the railroads out of the Twin Cities have called a conference of the representatives of the Negro employees to consider the proposed reductions of wages. The reduction is imposed for this reason:
Negro-railroad employees were poorly compensated when the railroads were making money. Reductions and more reductions will bring their wages back to normal." Cheap wages will not disaffect factory workers and the roads will find that a reduction at this time will be harmful to the employees and the employees and the millions of the roads will be the most affected.
VIEWS and REVIEWS
By James Welden Johnson, Contributing Editor.
THE VOTE ON THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL.
As was expected, the Southern Democrats in the House of Representatives put up a bitter fight against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Their fight, however, was not upon the merits of the Bill. They used every parliamentary strategy that was available to prevent a consideration of the Bill on its merits. The adoption of the special rule on the Bill was to have come up on Thursday, December 15th, but for one reason and another, action was postponed until Monday, the 19th.
The Southern Democrats, under the leadership of Representative Garrett of Tennessee, immediately began filibustering tactics. Every motion was delayed by a call for the yeas and nays, after which the Democrats would file out of the hall and Mr. Garrett would make a point of no quorum. When finally the motion to adopt the special rule to debate the Bill and vote on it was put before the House, it took three hours to secure a quorum. Speaker Gillette ordering the doors locked and the sergeant-at-arms to bring in Congressmen in order to do so. It was eight o'clock on Monday night before the motion which was made at tour in the afternoon could be adopted.
On the following day the Democrats pursued the same tactics on the motion for the House to go into the committee of the whole and hear the Bill read. It required the same determined action on the part of the Speaker before this latter motion could be adopted.
Now all of the ground work for the consideration of the Bill has been laid: (1) The Bill has been introduced into Congress; (2) it has been favorably reported out of committee; (3) a special rule was made on it by the Committee on Rules; (without this special rule the Bill would have taken its place on the regular calendar and might not have received consideration for months, with the possibility of not being considered at all); (4) the special rule has been adopted by the House; (5) the House has gone into the committee of the whole on the Bill and the Bill has been read. Debate upon the Bill is now the only thing between its being introduced and being voted upon.
In debating the adoption of the special rule, the Southern Democrats based their arguments almost entirely upon the point that rape is the cause of lynchings and that as soon as the colored people of the United States abolish rape lynching will cease. Their arguments, in fact, amounted to a defense of lynching as a remedy for some other crime. They made these statements about rape regardless of the facts and figures. However, Mr. Campbell, Chairman of the Committee on Rules, in defending his motion for the adoption of the special rule, gave the figures which show that for the past thirty-two years in only 19 per cent, of all the cases of lynching was rape even alleged as a cause. Mr. Campbell might have also asked of the Southern Congressmen the following question—"Why have fifty-three colored women been lynched within the last thirty years?"
The tactics employed by the Southern Democrats were nothing less than bone headed, and yet, on the other hand, on account of the hopeless political situation of the South, they were compelled to act precisely as they did act. Their tactics were bone-headed because they did exactly what the Republicans themselves would have had to do if it had not been done by the Democrats; and that is, delay action on the Bill. For several days before the date set for bringing up the Bill the Republican leaders were discussing the advisability of postponing action until after the Holidays. They were hesitant because on the day before the date set for bringing up the Bill more than forty Republicans had gone to Panama on a Congressional junket-trip. Two days later Representative Elston of California died and some twenty Republicans were sent as a committee to convey the body home. These with other absences reduced the Republican majority to a very narrow margin and the leaders did not feel that they had sufficient strength to force final action on the Bill. But the Democrats jumped in and saved them the embarrassment of confessing their own weakness.
Had the Southern Democrats been independent in the smallest degree their tactics would have been to speed up action on the Bill and bring it to a vote while the Republicans were weak. Such a line of action would have led to weakening the Bill greatly by amendments if not defeating it.
Why was it that the Democrats had to pursue a course which was directly opposite to the one which political strategy would naturally dictate? It was because each Southern Democrat was more interested in building a platform on which he could run for reelection than he was in the Bill itself. Next Fall each one of them can get on the stump and tell how he fought to defeat the Anti-lynching Bill by branding the Negro as a rapist and a brute. Had these same Southern representatives not filled the halls of Congress with vituperations against the Negro, each one of them, in the next election would find himself confronted with an opponent for his seat in Congress who would only need to ask the people this one question: "What did So-and-So do when the Anti-lynching Bill was up?" and on the answer to that question alone would hang victory or defeat.
All of the ground work for the passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill, as we said above, has been laid, but the Bill has not yet been passed. There is lots of work which must still be done. Citizens everywhere should keep in touch with their representatives' in Congress and urgently request that they be present when the Bill is brought before the House and vote for it. There is very little doubt that the Bill will pass the House. We must all then gird ourselves for another great effort in order to get it through the Senate.
THE GONCOURT PRIZE WINNER
Déspatches from Paris last week announced that the famous Prix Goncourt which each year is awarded for the best French novel of the year was awarded to a Negro. The prize of 5,000 francs was founded by the Academie Goncourt and is competed for by the greatest literary artists. Among the first members of the Academie are such men as Daudet, Huysmans and Mirbeau: Among the men who have won the prize are Malhebe and Barbussee.
To win the Goncourt prize assures the author that his book will be among the best sellers and that his name is made with the literary public of France and wherever the French language is spoken. The winner this year is a Negro, Rene Marin of Martinique in the French West Indies. He is employed in the French Colonial Service, having a post in Central Africa. The title of his prize winning book is "Batouala."
The despatch from Paris states that this year more books than ever were submitted in the competition for the prize, and the voting was very close. At the end of the voting, Rene Marin and Jacques Charbonne were tied. According to the rules of the Academy, in case of a tie the winner, from the deciding system,
Of course this could hardly have happened in any country except France. There is a bare possibility that the same thing could take place in Italy or Spain. But in neither Italy nor Spain is there such a spirit for rewarding literary effort as there is in France. In Germany it would be hardly probable that such a thing could happen. In England it would be barely possible; and in the United States it would be unthinkable.
This brings up afresh in the mind of the writer a theory which he has long held, namely: that world-acknowledged literary men in the Negro race will for a long time continue to come from Latin countries. Colored writers who have France as their mother tongue will for many years have the best chance, because France still leads the world in literature as an art. Next in order will come colored writers who live in the great continent to the South of us and who have Spanish as their mother tongue. For, although Spain itself offers very little incentive or rewards for literature, the Spanish-American Republic will some day fill that lack. Colored men writing in France and Spain find that color is no bar in the world of culture.
It will be many years before the United States, in spite of the many colored writers of distinction that it will produce, will be willing to acknowledge or acclaim one of them as the greatest even if he so merits.

It has always been a mystery to me how some of the editorial writers on the big newspapers can put before their readers the amount of sophistry which they often employ to bolster up one side of a position. For example, one of the leading New York papers, in extending half-hearted congratulations to Mr. Debs said:
"Yet it is worth while to remember, though with no rancor, what Debs did. His offense was deliberate interference with the prosecution of the war. To this he practically pleaded guilty. If his advice had been followed in this and other Ally countries the German flag would now be floating over the Capitol and all would be sweating to meet the tribute exacted by our German master."
Why could not the writer of the above paragraph carry his argument out to the logical limit? Why could not he have stated that if the advice given by Debs had been followed not only in this country and in other Ally countries but also in Germany and Austria, there would not have been any war at all?
OPPORTUNITY OF THE CHURCH
Among the opportunities offered the coming year, none exceeds in vital importance that offered the church for useful and devoted service to the race. This opportunity should be utilized by the stronger men in the various denominations preaching the gospel of a living Christianity. These pastors should exert a larger influence through the force of their teaching by example as well as by precept. Their mission should be the moulding of Character in citizenship, in business and in the church.
The Negro clergy is perhaps the most powerful element in the cultivation of character among the race, equal to if not surpassing the school teacher, and being pressed for place by the Negro newspaper. In order to maintain the place the ministry has occupied for the past half century, it is necessary for the church of every denomination to put its best and strongest men on guard. The teacher and the school teacher in many small places are the virtual heads of the community. The progress of such communities is largely dependent upon their example and precept. A great responsibility rests with the responsible authorities of the church for sending the right man to the right place.
A few weeks ago it was pointed out how an over ambitious pastor, without business experience or financial ability could wreck a congregation and cause it to lose its place of worship. A pastor of weak character and doubtful morality can cause greater disaster to a congregation by bringing about its spiritual downfall. Good character and a clean record should be required of every candidate for the ministry before he is given a charge. The cure of souls is too great a charge to be confided to men of weak character or evil repute. The opportunity opening before the church this year calls for the highest degree of spiritual devotion, coupled with strong moral character and consistent Christian living. Put men of this quality at the head of our churches and other welfare organizations, and the results should be commensurate with the opportunities offered. The instruments must be fitted to the task to be done.
ONE GOLD STAR MOTHER
The Gold Star Mother is one who has lost a son in the great World War. The following letter tells of one of this class, whose need of assistance in raising funds for a new home was brought to the attention of the editor of THE ACE. The following letter from the president of the National American War Mothers is self-explanatory:
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.
Your kind letter in regard to our Gold Star mother has reached me. Thank you for what you have done in her behalf. She is a dear old colored woman (not one hundred, but past seventy) of the type that is fast vanishing. She would rather not have her name used, because some of her own race is not pleasant about this appeal to the public, and one of her own race is not pleasant about this she and called on her and told her it was a disgrace to the race. Rather amusing; especially as none of her color, she tells me, has ever assisted her, but the white people for whom she has worked have been most generous. As president of the White Phila Chapter of American War Medians, I have known of her extremely good work and of her

the funds. The eight dollars has been raised and we are now trying to add enough to it to buy the lumber needed for the little "shack" she is looking forward to having. The rent has been raised, and she feels she must soon leave the poor rooms she now occupies. I have my office at 150 Main street, in my husband's law offices, and any funds sent to me will be cared for and used for the best interests of this worthy mother of a man who served his country well. It has been a source of great pleasure to me to find how many people were interested, and how many were glad to assist, if only in a very small way. It proves that the American public has not really "forgotten," as we sometimes think is the ease.
Thanking you for your interest. I am cordially yours.
Prey Natl Am War Nothers
This instance of active interest in the behalf of this Gold Star Mother is gratifying and should stimulate others to do likewise. Those who have given their sons to the nation's service deserve well of the nation and of every individual comprising the nation.
TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE
There is such a thing as saying too much or saying too little on a subject, but Editor M. D. Potter of the Tampa Bulletin appears to have settled upon both horns of the dilemma. In a recent issue we found the following cryptical utterance:
We like our northern brethren but they don't seem to make much of a hit when they hike down here to tell us how to get along with the white folks. If they would confine themselves to something else we would hear them and call them blessed.
The application of this broad hint to some "northern brethren" to mind their own business is rather obscure. Editor Potter should let us known at whom he is aiming. Most Northerners who go down South to profer aid and counsel, do so in response to some Macedonian call for assistance. It would be foolish to rush madly in where agnels fear to tread.
Let us hear some more about three "northern brethren" whose advice did not set so well.
The Los Angeles Next Age expressed gladness in printing the following news item:
We are glad to say that Mr. A. R. Carrett, who arrived from Galveston, Tex., a few days ago, bought a ranch in Filbert, California, on one of the business blocks, and paid $27,000 cash for it. As we know that it is a big sum for a poor man, to pay in cash see what we can do when we save our money.
While this transaction may indicate a legitimate and profitable investment, it is liable to suggest the inquiry as to what variety of ranch can be located on a business block.
In arguing the necessity of advertising in business, the Afro-Amtrican Press of Philadelphia said:
Not all advertising is done in newspapers; but a whole list of it is. Newspapers concentrate. That's why so many are newspapers.
Newspapers hit a harder blow than other mediums. They reach into the very heart of the human, the church and private institution of the hard-pressed.
The newspaper struck the heart of the human.
In impressing the point the rican ancestry is not to be a writer in the Baltimore Commonwealth said:
The accounts of the Yoruba country the history of the people, their industries, the government and education are very gratifying. A large number of American Negroes are accredited to the Yoruba country. These people, the Matabele, the Hottentots, and many others are credited with having a very high standard of sex-morality — adultery and bastardy being almost unknown before the natives were contaminated by outsiders. We have long known that Africans gathered their girls and beat at the age of adolescence into separate groups in the high school for secret instruction pertaining to industrial and racial health. Professor A. N. of Livingstone College, Salisbury, Co. a native African who was a member of the Educational Commission under the Phila-Sokie Fund gave me when I was at Livingstone College last year some most illuminating information in regard to the history of the high schools. He gave me advice in pointing out how the African people had been in addition to the modern nations for a thousand years. I was made to feel that curiosity had stimulated with them.
There is need for a wider description of the knowledge of the good things that have come out of the so-called Dark Continent.
The Purple, Colorado, Arizona, South
announcing the appearance of the last
black skies on that city said.
Because of the fact that the first act of the Pueblo Klan was not directed against Negroes, some individuals might assume that we should adopt a passive attitude, a sort of waiting for the door to fall. Even if we did not know that the ruling motives of this body was to "keep the Niggers down" and that it publicly announces this fact to its constitution; even if we did not know that the original purpose of its formation was to retain the members of our race in a subordinate position, our common duty as lawabiding citizens would compel us to array ourselves against an organization. The mere fact that the unfortunate victims happen to the Mexicans will not permit any reasonable person to applaud their propaganda. It is commendable to commit acts of lawlessness against Mexicans, it would be doubly so to terrorize Negroes, because colored people are not accorded the social privileges which are given to Mexicans.
That is the only safe and sane position to assume. The Klan is entirely outside the law and should be condemned by all who believe in upholding the law.
Commenting on the contest of Senator Newberry's seat by the Democrats the Nashville Clarion said:
In their eyes, the Republican Party will be the vist of sinners if it does not oust Mr. Newberry from the Senate and give his seat to a handpicked democrat. The most marvelous feature of this controversy is the wretched inconsistency of the Democrats, who are carrying it on. If they want fair and honest elections in Michigan, why not insist upon them in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, and all the states in which the Negro voters are distrunched? They seem to think that it is more immoral to buy votes that it is to deprive American citizens of the right to vote by violating both the letter and spirit of the Constitution in order to do so. Until these Democrats respect the rights of voters everywhere they have no wright to complain about the methode employed in electing Senator Newberry or any other man to the Senate.
That may be a logical view to take of the proceedings, but logic and justice receive but scant consideration in the game of politics as played by Southern Democrats.
Under the head of "A New Civil Test," the Philadelphia American says
The action of City Council in abolishing the position held by Dr. R. K Wright, Jr., as organizer in the Department of Public Welfare, because of the personal harred of Councilman Hill establishes a new civil record and presents to the people of Philadelphia a new civil test. If this arbitrary, spurful and wholly indefensible action shall be permitted to stand, henceforth a civil employee who gives any offer to any member of the local law-making body is endangered. That a worthy and reputable member of the colored should be the first to be made a victim of the new municipal doctrine of majesty is perhaps the least of the reasons suggested by the vicious primate evoked. Councilman Hall owes his tire public success to the trusting nature of the colored voters.
These voters should deal with the offending Councilman and his colleague at the first time afforded them at the polls.
The Atlanta Independent recently voiced the conclusion that "the American spirit of fair play has almost reached the vanishing point," so far as the Negro is concerned. It added:
Of all the issues Post confront the American people, this should be the paramount one. If we are to ever make prosperity and peace in this country, the American spirit of fair play must be exercised—every group of entrants and black alike, must be given a quarter of the play. This is not the play. No question is settled until it settled right, and this question has not been settled by the American people, and like Rancho's Ghost, it will not down—like truth crushed to earth, will rise again.
Editor Davis should remember that the darkest hour is just before the dawn.

"Mutt and Jeff," the famous colored comedy with an all-colored cast, opened at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday afternoon, December 26th, before one of the largest crowds that has been at that theatre in a long time. At the evening performance the crowd was so large that police reserves had to be called to the theatre to handle it, and throughout the week the show has been playing to crowded houses.
With a colored cast, "Mutt and Jeff" is a much juniper show than it was with a white cast. Leroy Brown and Tussha Hammed are much more versatile as "Mutt" and as "Jeff" than were the white actors who played these parts, and the beauty chorus of thirty is one of the best we have seen with any colored show. Joe Russell as "Plunger Wiggles" comes near being the whole show from a comedy standpoint, and Marguerite Lee and Henry Saparo are also important factors in the many funny scenes of the show. Among the musical numbers "The Shimmy Wedding Belles and Bells" and "Caroline Sue" were distinct hits. Jeff, and his "one string," and Mutt and his "syncopation destroyers" were musical novelties that also made big hits with the audience.
The management has made no attempt to make this a play with any continuity, but has gotten together a number of funny scenes and catchy songs, which keep the audience continually laughing. There are also a number of specialty acts, which are in themselves high class entertainment. The show is staged better, and the actors have a larger and more appropriate wardrobe than any colored show that has been at the Lafayette in a long time. The cast of characters is as follows:
Chiquita, daughter of a Mexican Rebel President..... Marguerite Lee
Carmencita, her aunt..... Lillian A. Russell
Jack Manley, a sporty young American..... Henry Saparo
Plunger Wiggles, horse owner and man about town..... Joe Russell
Race track gatekeeper..... Ben Williams
Mutt, the long of it..... Leroy Brown (Stringbeans)
Jeff, the short of it..... Tamsha A. Hammed (One String)
Dopesy, the dip..... Ed Fraction
Jacqueline Manly, posing as a widow..... Elizabeth McClain
A Blind Man..... E. C. Goldwell
Ophelia..... Joe Finnman
Desdemona Neumannia..... Dempire Braston
A Dude..... Charlie Hawkins
Captain Jinks of the good ship "Hot Tamale"..... Frank Montgomery
The music and lyrics are by Tausha Hammed, George Braston, Frank Montgomery, Leroy Brown, Phil Worde, Joseph Conoly and Richard F. Carroll. The production was staged by Richard F. Carroll, with Frank Montgomery in charge of the musical numbers.
Because of its popularity, it will continue at the Lafayette for another week.

A little over a year ago, they, built the Roosevelt Theatre at 143rd street and Seventh avenue which before the opening of the New Douglas, was the largest motion picture theatre in the colored section of Harlem. The New Douglas occupies the entire block from 142nd to 143rd street, and is modern in every way. A feature of this theatre is its huge pipe organ, which will be played by Miss Alice Peters. The opening program will include Jack Johnson in one of his saucestyle acts, the first showing of "The Shine" in Harlem; a Harold Lloyd comedy; and "The Man With a Twist of Lip," a Sherlock Holmes detective story "Nengetta," the latest picture of Lola Negt, will have its first Harler show.

SAILOR JONES KNOCKS
OUT RAY THOMPSON
In the main bout of the weekly boxing show at the 15th Regiment Armory on Friday night, December 23rd, Soldier Jones of the 15th knocked out Sergeant Kay Thompson of the Naval Militia in the second round of a scheduled twelve round contest. Jones weight was amputated as 183 pounds and that of Thompson at 190 pounds. Jones had his opponent beat from the first blow, and almost finished, him in the first round.
Soldier Wilson and Smiling Smith, both of the 15th, fought a slow eight round draw as the semifinal contest. Both fighters showed promise, but neither had much training or possessed a knockout punch. Each weighted 145 pounds.
The best of the preliminary bouts was between Baby Smith and Sandy Brooks, both of the 15th. Brooks put up a good crap for the first two rounds, but in the third round became completely exhausted and quit. The bout was awarded to Smith as a technical knockout. Frankie Polo or the 27th Regiment knocked out Young Benders of the 15th in the sound round of another preliminary bout; and in the other Khalil Horgan won a decision over Battling Yates.
During the intermission between the preliminaries and the main contests, an appeal was made to the fans for a donation toward the funeral expenses of Sam, McVey, who died the previous day from pneumonia. A collection amounting to $11090 was raised, which with a donation of $50 from his former manager, was turned over to those who had charge of arranging his funeral. Those present at the armory felt a gonose loss in McVey's death, for while the big fellow had not done any, fighting for several months, he was always present at the boats and did what he could to help the younger fighters.
For the past four or five weeks, the quality of the fighting at these shows has been poor. On several occasions there was hardly a good beat during the reeling. The management would do well to select the fighters for these shows, with more care, especially in the preliminary. It is usually in the preliminary that the best fighting is done, largely because the main contests result in knockouts. Unless better beats are put on, the public will not continue to support these shows.

(then Anthony Aery).
Hampton, Virginia is carried on in thirty-seventy-five counties and ten-fourteen agencies, with four districts all of whom are colored, united in the institution of the Virginia A. and M. Colliery and Polytechnic Institute. Blacking and the U. S. Department of agriculture cooperating, and which annually 30,000 men, women and women, will receive Virginia, July, 1921, to June, 1922, $43,000, according to the Hampton graduate, who is billed for the Negro county-agent with Virginia and six other Southern the agents' annual training which was held at Hampton Institute on "Aims, Methods, and causes of Extension Service."
When we began this demonstration work, he said, "we had no local aid in the county. Now every county helps and 20 percent of this aid comes from public funds. The vital need of colored people is better home life."
State Director Speaks.
John R. Hutcheson of Blacksburg, who is the State director of extension service to Virginia, paid a warm tribute to the colored Virginia agents, "who are trying to bring about the kind of farming conditions that we want and should have in this country." He added, "Hopton Institute, the State Agriculture College, and the U. S. Department of Agriculture are trying to do the job." Deanes E. Kirk, principal of Hampus Institute, in opening the conference, summarized the world food situation as recently stated in "World Agriculture" by E. M. E. West of Harvard: "There are about 1,750,000,000 human beings in the earth to be fed—1,750,000 human engines to be stocked with for three times a day. It is estimated that two and one-half acres of land are commonly needed to support each animal. There are approximately 1,000,000,000 white acres of land in the world, of which half are being cultivated. The maximum population when the earth can be expected to support 5,000,000,000. We have not noticed that figure yet, but we are near it."
Negroes Help the South.
Virginia's leadership in colored farm demonstration work was vouchered for by O. Schaub, field agent for the States Relations Service white work in Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Arkansas and Louisiana, who quoted note on submitting the Virginia program to the Federal officials: "I want to call your attention to the program of the Nerves of Virginia; you will not find any better in the State." "There are today in the Southern state that Negro men and women" said Prof. Frederick H. working primarily for their race and are teaching farm men and women to know what to do and how to apply common sense to their everyday business. White and colored agents are mutually helpful to each other. "The white Virginia adults made a fine showing at Blacksburg," said Prof. colored agents, when it came to conducting a meeting and putting over a job."
That those men and women who go out to do demonstration work and help in solving problems of the home and school, provide natural information, as well as with agricultural inspiration, was the conclusion stated by W. A. Lloyd, of Washington, who is in charge of county agent for Northwest U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Boys' Club Work Succeeds.
Negro boys' club work in Virginia, which is now done on a state-wide scale, was warmly commended by Federal and State officials of the States Relations Service who are responsible for supervising and developing extension work. I. W. Hill, Washington, D. C., who is charge of boys' club work in fifteen southern states, said, "Teach the boy modern states, teach the boy modern states, follow them for a life-time, Guide and direct young people's social recreation in proper lines. Organize all the forces in your community and turn them into this extension work to make the life of the boy and girl what it should be." C. G. Burr, Blackburg, Va., who has commended boys' club work throughout Virginia thanked the county agents "for the wonder and delight they which had sent to the State Fair this year from the colored boys of Virginia."
C. G. Green, Albermere county, and H. D. Lemon, Gloucester, reported on the bank accounts which their boys had started; Matt Jones, Sussex, stated that an account of the record made by his at the State Fair, the advisory board had bought seed corn for 77 boys. Other students on club work were made by G. E. Oliver, J. I. Charity and J. E. Bagley, all of whom are colored district agents.

BYER ANTI-LYNCH BILL
(Continued from first page.)

our citizenship, which is guaranteed to
it by the 16th Amendment.
Statistics that Shocks the Senses
The uncontroverted statistics of known lynchings in the United States for the past thirty-three years stagger imagination and shock the societies. The number of lynchings in the period 3,432 persons have been lynched, usually by shooting, hanging or being burned to death, and that of these, 2,713 were Negroes and 52 were women. The year 1921 has already claimed 60 victims of whom 55 were Negroes and 41 were white. Although lynchings have not been confined to any particular locality, the South has by far the largest percentage. From 1899 to 1918, 2,834 persons were lynched in the South and of these, 386 lynchings took place in Georgia and 375 in Illinois. All of the 60 lynchings recorded this year occurred in the South.
Wherever they take place, lynchings are the work of lawless groups and are contrary to the instincts and wishes of the good people of the communities where they occur. Ninety-nine out of every one hundred are dastardly, cowardly-murders where a helpless, defenseless creature is the victim of an innumerable attack, and the defense to defend himself. The fact that a large percentage of the victims are Negroes and that most of the lynchings take place in the South, leads to the conclusion that there exists an intense prejudice against Negro offenders and a failure to grant or provide them with adequate protection of the laws. The claim will be made here or in the Supreme Court that the coloured prisoner has been guilty of an infliction as the white prisoner and that, fore, he gets the equal protection of the law as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, to the Constitution.
Support a farmer has two sons, one 6 ft. tall who requires five yards of overcoating, and one five ft. tall who requires four yards of overcoating to protect them from the winter cold. Would the farmer be giving equal protection to the two sons if he gave each of them four yards of overcoating? If he gave each of them three forts and the other two to protect them, it is clear that to give each two forts would not be giving equal protection.
Adequate Protection is Meant.
I maintain that the equal protection of the law means adequate protection, and where, by the nature of the crime or the nature of the prisoner, reasonably adequate protection is not given, the equal protection guaranteed by the Constitution is not given. In another, and more important respect, the Negro offender has been denied the equal protection of the laws. In many states lynchings have consistently gone unpunished. They have been tolerated, if not actually encouraged. The purpose of punishment under our system of law and jurisprudence is not to punish the offender, but to have punished the offenders would have prevented many subsequent lynchings. That is the very purpose of this bill,—to grant protection, by punishing offenders. And that is the principal respect in which many of our states have failed. And by firing to bring to justice the perpetrators of lynchings, clearly the desire the protection guaranteed by the Constitution.
Lynchings have passed beyond the pale of local significance. A Lynching in Georgia has its effect in New York Boston, Chicago and St. Louis, and instills in citizens all over the country disregard and contempt for law and order. It has just the opposite effect. Lynchings have become national in their influence and even international, when citizens of foreign countries have been the victims. Congress has appropriated nearly $800,000 for payment to foreign governments for the murder of their citizens by American mobs.
National Aspect of Lynching.
It is gratifying to note that the South is beginning to realize the broad national aspect of the lynching question.
The Daily Times of Chattanooga, Tenn., commemorating upon April 26th, 1921, at Nodera Ark, said editorially under the caption, "Barbarian a National Crime";
"In such circumstances, a great impulse will be given to the movement for a federal law against this crime. There will be those who while objecting to federal interference in purely state affairs will not be long in concluding that there will be a federal statute in the constitution of the republic. The most ardent state righter will hardly dispute the statement that burning human beings at the stake is barbarous, inhuman, savage and un-American. The federal government may, without offense, declare that such practices are repugnant to the spirit and the soul of the republic, and that those who indulge them are outlawed and enemies of common humanity. Treason is a national offense, and so may burning human creatures at the stake come to be a crime such as treason. Lynch law run mad, as carried out by this inscrutable and inhuman mob, is a direct and flagrant assault upon the civilization of the America, people and a wanton and impassioned crime against the moral and human nature of the people that it may inflict violently on the rights of any crime, also committed by the human ancestors.

A Deliberate Lynching
The morning at the stage of Henry Lowy for the murder of O. P. Craig and his daughter at Nodena, Ark. on December 25th, 1920, was one of the most deliberate and grusome lynchings that has ever been perpetrated. Lowy had the reputation of being a peaceful Negro. It was his second season up the Craig plantation. Newspaper reports state that he was angered because low prices of farm conditions had wiped out the money woman to the Craig home threatened to shoot her. When Craig stepped to the door to remonstrate with him, Lowy shot him and also killed Mrs. Williamson, his daughter, when she rushed to Craig's side. It was not a rape case which is often offered as an excuse for lynching, nor was it a lying, in the heat of passion. Lowy was arrested several weeks afterwards at El Paso, Texas While it: the custody of two Sheriff's deputies on an interstate train enroute to Arkansas for trial, he was seized mob in the State of Arkansas by the State of the State of Tennessee to the State of Arkansas. For an actual description of the lynching, which took place four weeks and one day after the murders, I read from a signed article in the Tennessee (Tennessee) Press of Thursday, January 27th, 1921.
"More than five hundred persons stood by and looked on while the Negro was slowly burned to a crisp. A few women were scattered among the crowd of Arkansas plasters, who directed the grusome work of avenging the death of O. T. Craig and his daughter, Mrs. C. O. Williamson. "Not once did he slayer begin for more despite the fact that he offered me the most horrible deaths imaginable. With the Negro claimed to a log, members of the mobs placed a small pile of leaves around his feet. Gasoline was then poured on the leaves, and the carrying out of the death sentence was under way. "Inch by inch the Negro was early cooked to death. Every few minutes fresh leaves ere tossed on the funeral pyre until the blaze had passed the Negro's waist. As the names were eating away his men, a member of his squad fled for shelter as a trusted body with gasoline. It was then only a few minutes until the Negro had been reduced to ashes."
Disgraceful and Inexcusable
The Governor of Arkansas branded the lynching of Lowry as "most disgraceful and inexcusable." He added: "Inasmuch as the Negro was taken from an interstate trail and brought from Mississippi into Arkansas where he was killed the matter may come within the purview of federal authorities, and it is possible that this occurrence may result in the enactment of federal statutes for the prevention of crimes which should be prevented by our county officers."
The Atlanta Constitution of July 25, 1919, in an extended editorial, denouncing a horrible lynching in Telfair, County, Ga., concluded.
"This monstrous affair does not concern Telfair County nor Georgia alone, but the American Republic as a whole, and we might as well look at the lynching of Lowry as a preparation to accept federal jurisdiction in crimes of this kind if our own state has not the courage to meet the situation and apply the remedy."
Constitutionality of Act
Wipe Out Barbaric Stain.
When President Harding on April 12, 1921, in an address to the extraordinary session of Congress, referred to "national problems far too pressing to be long neglected," he included the statement that Congress should wipe the stain of the war by making a free and orderly, representative Democracy. He stated that one proposal which had merit was the creation of a commission embracing representatives of both races to study and report on the entire subject. But, gentlemen, this master has passed beyond the state of investigation. Just as the commission knew, Just as the courts take judicial notice that night-follows day and that there are seven days in a week, Congress may take Congressional notice of matters of common knowledge without the necessity of an investigating commission. What the President evidently intended was a commission to portray the importance of legislative to punish and prevent lynching. This I incorporated in a Resolution (H. R. 4378), which I introduced in the Hippe on April 19, 1921, but which I subordinated and now subordinate to the Dyer Bill. It was a second line of attack, ready, should the first line be through. The Committee, through its influence, has favourably reported the Dyer Bill and I shall vote for its passage.
Irespective of any constitutional question which will eventually be passed upon by the Cobata, the good people of every community, Nor will alike, will welcome federal intervention to prevent and punish the crimes of leaching. The long arm of the federal government will result, and punish the guilty, prosecuted, convicted, jailed and national security forces and police.

Eatwined in America's Life.
The opportunity is ours to put an end to the habit of lynching in this country. So long as lynchings are tolerated, all the teachings from all the pulpits in all the churches, are equally hypocrisy. The colored man, shared equally the burden and responsibilities of citizenship in the World War just won, and he should be guaranteed in practice, as well as in print, the equal protection of the laws.

Hartford, Conn.—Through the inter-
view and interview with Chris-
lobus Schmidt, secretary of the Uni-
kese institute, the Connecticut board of par
dons recently graced a full pardon to
Leroy Buffett, a colored man serving
an indeterminate sentence at the state
hospital, and a charge of assault
to kill, and murder.
Buffett was sentenced from New Haven county. Domestic troubles, resulting in his wife leaving him with the care of a two-year-old girl, caused him to brood four children, four-year-old girl with her. Attempt to have her return were unavailing, so one day in the summer of 1918 Buffett borrowed a rife and went over to East River, where his wife was employed and she had a ward, but obtained a divorce from Buffett and married again. She later died in child birth, and the two children are left with Buffett's grandparents in Old Saybrookbrook. They are in poverty. In his appeal Mr. Chisholm declared that if Buffett was released he would would train him for work in the South. The prisoner had been sentenced September 27th, 1918, from ten to twenty

SAYS THE CHURCH WILL
FURNISH RACE LEADERS
Washington, D. C. For years to come the church will furnish the majority of leaders of the Negro race is the belief expressed by Dr. Carter G. Woodrow in a new book just published, entitled "The History of the Negro Church." While the author sees in the record of the church reasons for hope that the institution will continue to figure in the Negro factor, yet he does not hostile to consider the faults and shortcomings of the institution.
The startling feature of the book is the mass of valuable information generally unknown to the public. Although not a churchman himself, Dr. Woodson was a man of great intellect, acquainted with themselves. The work contains so many facts culled from rare sources that it compels the attention of everyone, intelligently interested in the history of the race. The book is well illustrated, the whole, this work is full of detail, the establishment of Woodson as an authority in a new field. His previous works "The education of the Negro Prior to 1861," "A Century of Negro Migration" and his work as editor of the Journal of Negro History, are among the most white and colored people who have interested in the history and development of the Negro race.
