A Committee Problem
A strong address was drafted and given to the public, recognizing the condition of the Negro in the South as a community problem affecting the welfare of both races, and demanding for its solution the application of the principles of humanity and justice. A group of women, with a child to a reasonable chance in life and for a single standard of morality that will protect the womanhood of all races. The women's committee will function as a section of the Texas committee on inter-racial cooperation, the purpose of which is to organize in every community where race relations constitute a serious problem a group of the best people to study local conditions and needs and deal with them intelligently and in a Christian spirit. Dr. J. C. Hardy is Chairman of the State committee. It was stated that in many communities the plan had averted threatened trouble and displaced acute situations by confidence and good will.
Women Issue Address
The address adopted by the women is follows:
"We the members of the women's section of the Texas state committee in Insert-Racial Cooperation, find ourselves overwhelmed with the opportunity and the corresponding responsibility which we this day face in sharing the task of bringing about better conditions and relations in the South between the white and Negro races. * We explore the fact that the relations for the past fifty years have been such as to increase the two races through a lack of understanding on the part of both. We know that ignorance takes its toll in crime and inefficiency, that disease and death are no respecters of persons, but that sweep across the boulevards from the places of squail and unsanitary living to the best kept and most protected homes. We know also that crime is not segregated and that its resistance felt alike by all classes. * We are persuaded that our native Southman cannot reach its highest depth, while any part of its people areistant, underfed and inefficient. There are together we must meet our task and seek to bring in a new day of

It is Mr. Smith's purpose to return to Texas for a permanent stay, engaging in the practice of law in Galveston, Houston and Beaumont, with handcrafters in the first named city. He served all connection with the U. N. I. A. prior to leaving New York in November, 1921, and is in the city now for the purpose of straightening out some personal affairs.

"Recognizing the universal existence

races, and deploring its existence and

"Recognizing the right of every American child to be not only well born, but to be given the opportunity for developing his life to its fullest possibility, we desire for the Negro child better homes, better schools and better Christian training.
Lynching.
"Lynching' is the black spot on America's soul. So long as America holds the record for its illegal taking of life, so long as the headlines of foreign papers carry in large letters 'America burns another Negro' just so long her shame be world-wide. We have no security unless the law protects us. Mob violence knows no law. As women, as mothers of men, we protest. We condemn every violation of law in the taking of life, no matter what the crime.
"We declare ourselves for law and order at all costs. The public has a right to prompt and certain justice and should demand such of officials and courts. We believe that America should not permit ignorance and prejudice to be capitalized. In common with the great and honored Henry W. Grady, of our own Southland, we say, 'Not in passion, my countrymen, but in reason, not in narrowness but in breadth, may we solve this problem in calmness and in truth, and lifting its shadows, let perpetual sunshine pour down on two races walking together in peace and contentment."

NEW RACE TOWN FOUNDED IN ALA.
United Order of Bood Shepherd Has Acquired Splendid Property of 2,000 Acres in Dallas County
CHANDLER IS PRESID'T
Fifty-one Families Now Have Homes in Shepherdsville, and Others are Settling There—"Shepherd's Home". Founded for Aged Members of Order—
(Staff Correspondent).
Shepardsville, Ala.—A visit to this community is an unusual experience. It is the location of "Shepherd's Home," set apart by the United Order of Good Shepherds as a home for old and infirm members of the Order, around which there has grown a community of some fifty-one families, owning land aggregating some two thousand acres, entirely controlled and operated by the organization above named, its officers and members.
George W. Chandler of Montgomery, Ala., supreme president and founder, is the guiding spirit of this Order, which numbers about five thousand members in various sections of the South and in Ohio and Illinois.
Situated sixty-two miles from Montgomery, sixteen miles from Selma, the town is in Dallas county, a section particularly rich in natural resources. It is estimated that the land enriched in this property has a value of approximately $100,000, while there is virgin timberland, which has been conservatively estimated as being worth $1,000. Some of the pine and oak trees.
The community has provided for both the temporal and spiritual welfare of its members, as there are already established a church, school, store, saw and grist mills, while the people are at the same time raising cotton, corn and other marketable commodities, with ample ground given to truck gardening for home consumption. Proximity to Selma and Montgomery afford easy outlets for salable products. Then just sixteen miles in another direction lays Snow Hill, with its splendid educational institution, which is available when local facilities are exhausted. The United Order of Good Shepherds, under Supreme President Chandler, holds its annual meeting at "Shepherds' Home" and it is intended eventually to make this town the general headquarters of the Order. The founder, Mr. Chandler, is looked upon as enterprising and thrifty, and has proven himself to be thoroughly honest and sincere in handling the affairs of his Order. Every penny has been scrupulously accounted for, according to declarations by those in position to keep track of the Order's affairs.
The town has been laid out in blocks, subdivided into lots, and members of the Order are constantly coming into the community and erecting neat and comfortable homes. An attraction that is somewhat unusual nowadays is the accessibility of hunting grounds within the area owned by the corporation, in which are to be found wild ducks and turkeys and other desirable game.
The property acquired was formerly in two tracts, the Lee tract and the Mabry tract, and it is held by the Shepherds' Home of the United Order of Good Shepherds, a corporation, acting for the United Order of Good Shepherds of the U. S. of America, with President Chandler, I. W. Calloway, A. F. Owen, D. T. West, J. M. Smith, S. J. Elliott and N. Neshit as trustees. The editor of The Age was the guest in Montgomery of Supreme President Chandler and Mrs. Chandler, and made the 62-mile ride to Shepherdsville, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. S. L. Duncan, national secretary, in the president's auto. While here the party were entertained by the Rev. E. W. Cooke, resident manager, and Mrs. Cooke.

Coulson, president of Church Institute, will preside over the meeting.
Julius Rossetti Told of Emphatic Endorsement of Present Principal by Late Ex-President Theodore Rossetti—Courtesie to E. J. Scott
With this alliance it feels its inability to give any fitting expression that would property set forth the grandeur and importance of Boober T. Washington's life and work, for if the height of Mr. Washington's monument were gauded by the work he has done, its apaes would be swept by the silvery limings of the clouds above us; if it were measured by what he has done for his race, it would reach the golden-hued stars; if it were estimated by what he accomplished for the cause of humanity; it would extend to the very heavens themselves; if rated by his visions; it would cast the brightness and hope of his benign spirit into the life of every living creature. Then if its circumference were taken, it would embrace the entire earth.
Therefore, be it resolved. That we recommend to the ministers of our churches, the teachers of all our schools and also the leaders in all walks of life that they unite with the school he founded and his admirers in bringing about the annual observance of April 5th as Mr. Washington's birthday.
Be it further resolved. That the Negro press throughout the country is hereby requested to cooperate with this committee in this carrying out of the plans set forth in these resolutions, in order that the youth of the race both of the present and the generations yet unborn may be inspired by his life and work.

Tunkhaug Institute, MN. During the Founder's Day event held here on April 5th, at which time the Washington Memorial Hospital was also unveiled, Julius Hirschfeld, the Chicago millionaire philanthropist, told interestingly of some topics which occurred after Dr. Washington's death, when the trustees of the institution were holding around for a memorial to the founder of Tunkhaug Institute.
He related that the late Isaac Theodore Roosenthal, former president of the United States, who thus deeply interested in Tunkhaug with a close personal friend and advisor of Dr. Washington, took occasion to mention the trustees that great care was taken in exercised in the choosing of a man to carry on the work. Mr. Roosenthal then went on to say that when Mr. Roosenthal had an opportunity to meet Dr. Moton personally, so became involved with his ability and discretion and to hear him speak on questions affecting interests which were at stake, he Mr. Moton, promptly and empathetically declared that Dr. Moton was the man to take up and carry on the work held down by Dr. Washington.

Trenton, N. J.—Senator Fredringhysen's interest in the colored people of the state should commend him to them," was part of a joint statement made by Assemblyman Walter G. Alexander of Essex county and Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, but what Dr. I. W. L. Roundtree was shown: the statement he declared that its purpose was simply to get the colored people in line for the senior Senator and added that "such a statement fools and nudity."
Dr. Alexander and Dr. Carrister stated they had obtained assurances from Senator Frettinglyman that he would vote for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill when it came up before the Senate, also that Senator Frettinglyman has always shown a deep interest in his colored constituents. They chief several appointments of colored men to government positions as being through the influence of

Mr. Rosemard also took opportunity to declare that Dr. Moton enjoyed the confidence, esteem, respect and goodwill of the board of trustees to the highest degree. And this declaration was supported by statements to the same effect from William G. Willcox, chairman of the board, by Mrs. Rosemard, and by other members of the board, many of whom took opportunity to testify to the high position in their regard which had been won by the present principal of Trustees.
One of the pleasant incidents of the annual meeting was the concial reception accorded Emmette J. Scott, now secretary-treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D.C, but formerly for eighton years, connected with Tuskegee as secretary to Principal Washington. Dr. Moton and the trustees extended him the special-courtesy of a cest in the mornings of the board of trustees, and many other countries were shown Dr. Scott by the principal, faculty and student body of Tuskegee Institute.
Among the notable visitors present for the unveiling ceremony were the Rev. J. D. Baskinell of New York City and John W. Thompson of Rochester and Albany, N. Y.

the Senator. Among the appointees named is Dr. Solomon Porter Hood of Trenton, Minister to Liberia. Commenting upon the statements, the Rev. Roundtree said, "The colored people of New Jersey are very much dissatisfied with Senator Freelighhysen's appointments. It is true that the senior Senator sent Rev. Solomon Porter Hood to Liberia from Mercer county, but Mr. Hood did not have the support of the county or state organisation. This county stood for me for the Haitian post. So far as Senator Freelighhysen's looking after the interest of colored soldiers, I would say that Uncle Sam looked after his own soldiers."
The financial board of the A. M. E. Church will hold its annual session at Bethlehem Church on June 2nd, at which time the bishops will be holding their semi-annual session. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C., is secretary-treasurer of the board.

The wide representation of whites and Negroes from all parts of the country and from all walks of the nation's life caused many to comment that this occasion was, indeed, the fulfillment of a prediction made by Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta "Constitution," in a telegram to the New York "World" after Dr. Washington's famous speech at the Atlanta Exposition in 1895.

MRS. WASHINGTON
Thoughts of the visitors turned to the Washington house, just outside the Institute campus, and to Mrs. Booker T. Washington, for years his loyal companion and assistant, and still carrying on her service to the Tuskegee ideal as Director of Girls' Industries.
Contributions From 100,000 Negroes.
Few things indicate more clearly and forcefully the devotion and the loyalty of the Negro to the ideals for which Dr. Booker T. Washington stood than does this biome statue memorizing his contribution to the progress of the race. This memorial costing $25,000, is erected from contributions of more than 100,000 Negroes among whom are the lowly and uneducated and the prosperous, educated and prominent, representatives of the race. It will stand as a symbol of appreciation and recognition of the work wrought by Dr. Washington for his race on the part of the Negroes themselves.
President Harding's Letter.
One of the interesting and distinctive features of the exercises occurred when Dr. Moton, present principal of Tuskegee, read to the assembly, the text of a letter he had received from the President of the United States, Warren Gamaliel Harding, paying tribute to the memory and work of the late Dr. Washington. The text of this letter is as follows:
"I want to contribute my little part to the satisfaction I know you and your associates of the Institute will feel, on the occasion of the unveiling of the monument to Booker T. Washington.
"I think there will be a little divergence from the opinion that he was one of the most useful Americans of his time, and that the work which he inaugurated and so long directed is already demonstrating the wisdom of his attitude toward one of the great public questions of the Nation. My own views on this subject, which have been expressed herefore with all the earnestness I could command, were in no small part the result of my observation of Mr. Washington's work and his results."
"I have long felt that he was visioned, the right way to deal with our national problems all races, in a manner more likely to produce GALLEY THIRTEEN Quick-rat the love affair, from the assistance of the entire nation and of all elements of his people. I am glad of the occasion that I will signify my very high esteem for a great burden. "Very Successful, WARREN G. HARDING"

Judson T. Washington's mind was astonished by the success of his program.
The school campus has resumed visits of visitors who were here to witness T.

In this may be the popular will of the elite can stand with full justice to training the life work in Washington the speaker paid tribute to his effort in establishing the Institute here which has attained national fame.
"Washington sought the place for his life work in the heart of the black hats of the South," spoke Mr. Daniels. "He might have found life easier after he had finished at Hampton by trecking to Northern cities if he had been thinking only of his own comfort. He came here instead to work out for his own race what he had first worked out for himself."
While declaring that he "had no patient solvent for the so-called race problem," Mr. Daniels said:
"I do know that between white peoples and black peoples in the South there are stronger ties of friendship today than formerly, and that out of this better friendship there would grow better understanding and better conditions. It was because Booker T. Washington sought to advance his own race and to preserve friendship with white neighbors, as well as for his wise leadership, that it is altogether fitting that men of both races living here together in the South and friends from the North should gather to unvell a monument in this honor. It is an unprecedented event. May we not hope it is the promise of an era of good feeling! Toward the coming of such a period all good people of both races will give their best thought and sincere effort."
Negroas Appreciate Washington.
Dr. George Cloverland Hall, a prominent colored physician, of Chicago, paid warm tribute to Booker T. Washington for his integrity and sincerity, his attachment to freedom and truth, his earnest endeavor to do good, his purity of public principles, and his serene submission, to the will of God. Dr. Hall referred to Dr. Washington as "The king of practical thinkers and observers"—a man who knew what practically all the trouble in the world comes from not knowing the truth, which makes men free. "Let down your buckets where you are," a slogan with which Booker Washington thrilled the world in 1895, was quoted by Dr. Hall as the epitome of Tuskegee educational work which has changed a crying race to a trying race and has insisted in the minds of men the dignity of labor.
"Dr. Washington had faith in the good sense of the American people said. Dr. Hall. "He opened the door of hope and knowledge to his people. He showed that the Negro could produce a man whom Anglo-Saxon delighted to honor. He did thing he grew by industry. Work dominated his career. He recognized only the ability of labor and character. He was a supreme judge of human nature. He lived to see the justice of all the leading principles that he advocated."

Alvin J. Nusley, representing the Tuskegee Alumni, reviewed the forty-one year of Tuskegee educational work and the education of Rushing T. Washington's alma. He commended the beauty, spiritual grace, which D. Washington's presided over, simplicity, hospitality, generosity, service to the community. The Tuskegee group gave awards to those who have made a great contribution to the community.
Site of the Measurement
the imperialial is situated where the main roads of the big campus occupies and the figures face toward the limit with the campus rolling up them to the Administration Building, Carnegie Library and the other small buildings at the higher end. To the left of the memorial is the chapel and beyond it Dr. Washington's grave is surrounded simply by a granite boulder behind his name and the dates of his life and death. Directly behind the chapel the ground drops off to the Institute farms which climbs the next steep teeped by the new agricultural building. To the right is the great group of buildings 'housing the boys' trades and in front is Dorothy Hall, the center of the home economics course for the girls.
The unveiling exercises were carried out with the simplicity which characterised the life of the man to whose memory homage was being paid and the thick ground formed by the flags and students in the uniform of the United States and of Tuskegee Institute, with thousands of black and white spectators formed an impressive picture, symbolical of America, white, black and humanity.
Scott Presents Monument to Trustee
Dr. Emmett J. Scott presented the monument in behalf of the 100,000 Negroes whose contribution) solicited under his direction had made it possible. He exiled the virtues of his former students in devoted as well as eloquent works and referred to what the memorial meant to the Negroes of America, saying in part:
I must not fail, on this occasion, to speak of the large and important service rendered by Dr. Washington to both races in seeking to blot out sectional animosities, and interpreting one race to the other. He was the foremost missionary of our race. He sought to overcome racial misunderstandings, racial injustices; racial prejudices. No thing could embitter him. It was his proud boast that no man could drag him down so low as to make him himate that man. He labored with divine patients for racial cooperation and racial good-will. He came to be the one moonlight of hope to men of both sections, of both races, who had been groping in the world of uncertainty and doubt. The most impressive thing, in my opinion, about him, was his intense earnestness in seeking to have white men understand black men, and to have black men understand white men."
Mr. Wilcox Accepts Monument.
Mr. Willcox accepted the monument in behalf of the trustees with remarks bearing upon the spirit of Booker T. Washington and confided it to Dr. Moen, charging him to protect it and hence it. Among other things, he said: "No one familiar with the life of this great school can doubt for one moment that the spirit of Booker Washington still lives at Tuskegee. In faithful, conscientious work, in patience and perseverance under difficulties, in self-reliance and courage, in pride of race and in the inspiration of service, the spirit of Tuskegee is still the spirit of its founder.
"But this spirit of Booker Washington, which we commemorate today is not confined to Tuskegee. Wherever through this broad land a Negro boy is ambitious to rise and is struggling to overcome the obstacles which beset his pathway, wherever one is faithful and thorough in every task, small or great, wherever one is filled with a desire and purpose to serve his race and help his fellowmen, there lives the spirit of Booker Washington.
That this spirit may never die, that it may live in the hearts of this and succeeding generations to encourage fidelity, and achievement, to inspire service, to teach humility with self-respet, pride of race and self-reliance without boastfulness or arrogance, love of God and love of fellow-men, we dedicate this statue today."
The Monument a Symbol of Service
In accepting the monument in behalf of the Institute Dr. Moton pointed out what the monument should and would mean to the teachers and students at Tuskegee Institute.
"Since Dr. Washington's death, with the cooperation of our entire staff including trustees, workers, and the support of the American nation, we have tried to carry on this great work in the spirit of Dr. Washington and to keep Tuskegue on an even keel," said Dr. Motion. "Whatever changes are to be made I am sure they will be made with the approval of the great man whose life is so beautifully typified in the bronze statue. Tuskegue must and will continue to serve in the largest possible way the people of this nation." The exercise were brought to a close by the singing of "America." The purpose of many had been accomplished, their eyes had feasted upon the memorial erected to their friend and in many instances their benefactor. The termination of the event brought to a close our month making day in the history of Lakshmi Institute.
Attendant Exercises.

While the unveiling of the Booker T. Washington Memorial was the dominant factor in drawing so many people to the Institute at this time, it is evident that the desire to see what the school was doing in the way of advancement was among the persuasive elements prompting the visit of many. On every hand were indications of progress which even the most skeptical could not fail to see.
Booker T. Washington laid so well the foundation of the work which he began that during the six years since his passing has expanded with continuous and unabated growth. This is shown to some extent in the following table:
1914-15 1920-21
Enrollment, 1296 2,240
Budget, $288,303.51 $411,827.50
Income, $268,825.17 $457,300.08
Further indications of progress is found in the physical changes. There have been erected on the campus five new Trades Buildings, costing $325,000; James Hall, a dormitory for girls, costing $80,000; a modern cow barn; a modern horse barn; a new laundry, and six cottages for teachers. There have been added four new artesian wells to insure an adequate supply of water; a refrigerating plant, four automatic stokers at the power plant, and many other improvements including the repairing, painting and remodelling of the older buildings.
There are like wise indications of advancement to be found in the carri-
cula of the academic and industrial departments. The academic course has
been raised one year and embodies a teacher training course and a two year
business course. Advanced courses have been added to the mechanical de-
partments the agricultural department as well as in the department of womens' industries.
Some of this growth may be attribu-
ted to the prestige of the Institute but it largely due to the wise and effi-
cient management of Dr. Moton and to his power to retain the confidence and support of the American public.
J. H. MURPHY BURLED
IN BALTIMORE APRIL 8.
(Special to The New York Age).
Baltimore, Md.-The funeral of John H. Murphy, prominent layman of the A. M. E. Church and for the past twenty-six years publisher of the Afro-American, was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church Saturday, April 8, with 1,500 people crowding the edifice.
Bishop John Hurst eulogized the deceased as a man who was always fighting to forge to the front, who had overcome his lack of early educational advantages and who was the peer of many of superior training. The Revs. W. W. Walker, John W. Norris, A. L. Gaines, C. H. Young and Frederick Douglass were among others who took part in the services. Members of the First Separate Company acted as palibearers. Lincoln Post, G. A. R. of which he was a member, conducted services at the grave in Mt. Auburn Cemetery.
The deceased was apparently in good health until the rather sudden death of his son, Daniel H. some week ago, in Jacksonville, Fla., where the father had taken him on a health seeking trip. Born in this city on December 25, 1840, the deceased received his early education at a private school conducted for free Negroes. He answered the call for colored troops in 1864, enlisting in the John Maryland Regiment of Colored Volunteers. In 1868 he was married to Miss Martha E. Howard, who died seven years ago. Eight children, twenty grandchildren and two great grandchildren survive. His sons, John H. Jr. Armett and Carl J. Murphy, will continue the paper.
The deceased gained hi. first journalistic experience as publisher of the "Sunday School Helper," and as Baltimore correspondence of "The New York Age" He established a newspaper there thirty years ago and four years later brought "The Afro-American." Under his management the journal became one of the most successful in the country. Mr. Murphy had served as president of the National Negro Press Association and as imperial potentate of the Mysterious Shirt. He was a member of the board of directors of Providence Hospital and pioneer with other public institutions. From 1915 to 1921

Long before the opening preamble had been concluded the main auditorium and galleries of the church were filled to overflowing. Standing room was not available for many who came to attend the services. Dr. Brown, the pastor, announced that overflow services would be held in the lecture room. This service was conducted by Rev. A. E. Piggott. Preceding the reading of the announcement and notices, George Jones, Jr. rendered the "Palmus." The 11 o'clock sermon was preached by the pastor. He began his sermon with the announcement that this is Palm Sunday. He stated that this occasion was of especial significance to the Christian Church, in that it emphasized the triumphal entry of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, into the city of Jerusalem. He deplored the ignorance that is general on the part of the members of the church and the people in general, of the significance of the designated days of church observance. In his sermon that indicated previous peaceful, palestinian and prayerful preparation, the speaker delivered an inspiring and instructive message. In his sermon to the question announced in the subject of his course, "Who Is This?" he declared that the Glorious One who made the triumphal entry on the day which we now celebrate so Palm Sunday into the historic city of Jerusalem, was more other than the One to whom the project referred as the One who travelled in the grumman of His strength, who trod the winsprep alone, who came from deliverance from sin, and for the restoration of life eternal to mankind through His depth and resurrection which was required in mankind. The crucified man was impregnated and spiritually purified. The formation of the church in the city of Jerusalem

FOR BETTER EYES
Many people object to glasses and for some reason or other avoid seeing an optician.
Why wate and suffer? If you must choose between eyestrain, nerverousness, headache or glasses, make the worst choice and get glasses at once. The improvement will surprise you.
Free from eye strain, you will be able to accomplish much more and will admit that getting glasses was the best step you could have taken.

PRESERVED IN BRONZE.
The fact that one hundred thousand American Negroes contributed to the fund to raise a statue to the late Booker T. Washington is significant of the fact that the race has begun to realize that it has produced great men, men who have contributed to the sum total of human striving and human progress. It was fitting that this statue in bronze should have been erected on the campus at Tuskegee Institute, on the occasion of Foumfer's Day, where it will stand as a constant reminder of the quiet courage and unwavering persistence of the man who brought that institution up from its humble beginning to its present preeminent position.
As far as we know, this is but the second example of a statue erected to the great men of the race by the Negroes in America. The first was the Douglass Monument at Rochester, which stands on a public square of that city in the Northern part of New York State, where Frederick Douglass at one time made his home and published his anti-slavery paper under the name of the North Star. This lasting memorial to the great tribune and orator was erected largely through the devoted efforts of the Douglass Monument Association, of which John W. Thompson was the chairman. It set a good example for the race to follow.
While Frederick Douglass devoted his earlier efforts toward the freeing of his race from the bonds of chattel slavery and the attining of the rights of citizenship, Booker Washington was the forceful owner of a second emancipation from the blight of ignorance and industrial blemage. He brought into effect an education not only from books, but from mastery of manual trades, which would course its possessor an industrial independence not possessed before.
The preservation of the great characters of the race should not stop with the two monuments already erected. There are others whose features should be immortalized in similar fashion in many sections of the country. Among them the women of the race were conspicuous. There was Sojourner Truth who worked as hard in the Anti-slavery cause as any man, and reminded Douglas, in his moments of despondency, that God still lives. Harriet Tubman performed heroic service as an army nurse and even shouldered a musket when necessity demanded. Both of these strong characters should be commemorated in enduring bronze.
Such memorials as have been erected in Boston, the Crispus Attucks monument and the Shaw memorial, are a guildly evidence of the community system paid to the valor of the race, but there remains the duty of the race himself to pay permanent tribute to those of its members who have achieved greatness.
COMMISSION FOR LLIBERIA.
Durable favorable action by the State Department, the matter of the government loan to Liberia has met with further delay in the House of Representatives. Opposition developed to a favorable report by the Ways and Means Committee, after such a course had been practically decided upon.
The proposals for concluding the loan were stated to include sanction for a financial program and depository agreement between the two governments, which would place the African republic directly under the control of the United States. One member of the committee said to have opposed this proposition is "establishing an extremely vicious predator" and endangering the future preservation of the Morocco Dostine.
It will be seen from the above provisions that the central to be maintained over the affairs of Liberia will be of the most draught character, resembling in effect the rule of the American occupation in Haiti. This difference is, however, to be noted, that in providing for such a rigid control of Liberian finances, the American government is only extending the protectorate rights that it has always maintained over this republic which was settled by colored Americans.
In placing the sum of five millions dollars as an investment in the development of Liberia and its resources, it is not without reason that this government should demand certain guarantees for the proper use of the money and the payment of the principal and interest at the expiration of the loan. If a commission to control its expenditure is deferred the best form for this control to assume, care should be taken to make the personnel of that body such as will assure a sympathetic interest in its task and to avoid unnecessary friction. If the commission is composed of three members, it would be well that one of them should be an American Negro. The secretary should also be of the same race. This inclusion of persons of African extraction in the commission would serve to bring it into closer contact with the members of the Liberian government as well as the citizens of that republic.
If the loan is to accomplish any lasting good for the Liberian people, it should not be frittered away in merely paying the salaries of officials, whether they are Americans or Liberians. It should be used for the practical development of the resources of the country, so as to increase its commerce and its revenues. Improved methods of transportation, better education along industrial lines, and the opening of new industries and wider fields of commerce, should be among the ends aimed at in using the proceeds of this loan.
Let a commission be named that will work along these lines and hasten the active operation of sowing the 'millions' so that they may bring forth harvest of greater opportunities for Liberia and its people.
POLITICS AS A PRACTICE IN AMERICA.
We say "Politics as Practiced in America" because we know how the thing is done in this country while we are not entirely sure about other countries. The practice of politics in the United States is enough to discourage and even disgust thoughtful and decent citizens. It may be that the politicians are wrong, or it may be that our political system is wrong. At any rate, it can definitely be said there is something wrong. Indeed, we might say there is something rotten.
NEGUCE OF EDUCATION
A few weeks ago Dr. John I. Tigett,
United States Commissioner of Education,
held a conference at Nashville with the heads of twenty-eight state and federal land grant colleges for Negroes.
The result of his impression was given in an interview, which appeared as a Washington special in the Texas Free-
man. He was reported as follows:
The ideal of our national government is a law-making body composed of the Upper House, representing the conservative forces of the government and acting as a check upon the Lower tlegram Mr. Howell said: "The whole speech is a platform on people, but with the members of both houses-devoting all of their energies to the highest interest of the government and the people. The ideal further embraces the President as the chief executive, raised above partisan politics and exercising his duties and powers for the best interest of the nation, regardless of any political advantages.
"The neglect of Negro education has resulted in an immediate loss to the country. It has affected not only the material prosperity, especially of the South, where Negro population is greatest, but likewise affected the standard of living and the character of citizenship, and has injured the moral of our people. If we had long ago made provision for the technical education of our Negro population the increase in the value of our products, both agricultural and manufacturing, would have been calculably great. The intangible and immaterial benefits which would have accrued can scarcely be estimated, nor can we form an estimate of what would have been the effect upon the Negro himself by way of encouragement, arousing his ambition and increasing his value as a citizen."
That is the ideal. But how is the thing worked out in practice? The average member of Congress is chiefly interested in the ways and means of being reelected to office. If you have tried to interest the average Congressman in some question of national policy or national righteousness in which his reelection was not involved, and seen how difficult or almost impossible a job it is to do so; or if you have gone to him with some other question, no matter how trivial and inconsequential it may have been, but in which his reelection was involved, and seen how easy it was to get his interest, you can understand the above statement.
We say this may not be the fault of the men in Congress. It may be the fault of our political system. It may be that there can be no other result arising out of a two-party plan of government. It may be that the very best men that might be elected to Congress would find it more than difficult to combat the forces which the two-party form of government generates. But even that does not excuse the petty, personal and spiteful attitude taken by the people's representative in Congress, even in the Senate where the men are supposed to have reached a degree of statesmanship.
The significance of this statement is emphasized by the fact that the present head of the national bureau of education is a native of Tennessee and has always lived in the South. It may therefore be taken for granted that he is familiar with the deep rooted objections of most Southern officials, both state and local, to provide adequate facilities for Negro schools. These local officials will not allow an equal division of the school taxes between the two races on a per capita basis, and frequently the taxes paid by Negroes are used for the benefit of white schools. With the proposition added Federal aid to education in the backwood states of the South, it is essential that some plan should be devised by the national government by which the Negroes should receive an equal proportion of the funds for their schools. It is encouraging to know that such a high federal authority as Dr. Tigert realizes the past neglect of Negro education. With such a conscientious official at the head of the movement, to further the educational progress of the whole country, we may confidently look for such safeguards in the distribution of Federal aid to education as will tend to remedy the neglect of the past.
While the results of past neglect and callous indifference cannot be totally eradicated, proper provision can be made for the future education of the race.
The only Negro to receive a government appointment under this administration in the State of Iowa, according to the Des Moines Bystander, is John A. Baker, a former justice of the peace, who has been appointed by the President as postmaster of Buckton. The Bystander added:
But all of that is an example of partisan politics on what might be called a high plane, that is, it is the sort of thing expected under a two-party system. But what shall we say about an exhibition which was made only a week ago?
When the Disarmament Conference convened the opening prayer was delivered by Dr. W. S. Abernethy, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church and President Harding's pastor? Dr. Abernethy offered up a splendid prayer. The prayer began and concluded as follows:
Mr. Bohry was in Dr. M. Mishra, a math instructor at the postmaster's school, where he received instructions in his various duties to perform. It is also qualifying to know that a lady agitated him has appealed, making two additional instantiations.
Houghton Oak, we think. Since for the coming of this event (m) day. We have seen it from after and now we replicate it. It has at least amount. More it being just similarities of a marbling surface. Of These differences we have as it is it will be the most interesting.
1.
"May we walk softly and humbly before Thee in this day and throughout the fateful days of this great conference. May we be intent on knowing Thy will; and knowing it, may we have the courage to do it. And may it be that the findings of this conference shall be wise, so far-reaching and so beneficial that all mankind may take new hope and fresh courage. And to Thee shall be the praise and the glory forever and ever. Amen."
Somebody discovered that the name of Jesus Christ was not mentioned in the prayer and Dr. Abernethy has been severely criticised by preachers and laymen for leaving out all reference to Christ. Dr. Abernethy received a letter from a prominent business man in Baltimore in which he spoke of the omission and said to Dr. Abernethy:
"If it was intentional, was it due to any suggestion or request to that effect? And if so, by whom made? If such a request was made, or if you decided on your own volition to omit all reference to Christ, was it because heathen nations who do not recognize Christ were in attendance upon the conference."
In his defense, Dr. Abernethy said that had he been left to his own initiative, he would have offered a prayer in the name of Christ, but that he was reminded that the Conference was not entirely a Christian body. That there would be Buddhists and Confucianists present, and that he was told that it was the judgment that a simple recognition of the Diety would fill the requirement. Of courses, this is what Dr. Abernethy was told, and what else, in the name of common sense and ordinary courtesy, could he be told? Suppose, for an instant, that the Christian nations met at a conference in one of the Oriental countries and the priest offered up a prayer to Buddha instead of to a commonly recognized Diety. What would be the reaction on these Christian nations?
And yet this incident has been seized upon by the minority party in Washington and a threat is made that the whole thing will be investigated to find out who suggested to Dr. Abernethy not to mention the name of Jesus Christ in his prayer. Of course, if the Republican statesman or official who made the suggestion is ever found by the Democrats, they will not hesitate to emulate him upon the political altar. We may expect to hear Congress rinking with denounciations of this apostate to the Christian religion.
Sush is politics as practiced in America.
THE NEW YORK AIR SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1932.
THE BEST SELLER IN SERIAL FORM.
Word comes from Kansas that the Topeka "State Journal," one of the leading daily newspapers of that state, is about to begin the publication of the Bible in serial form. "This is a piece of newspaper enterprise that deserves the highest commendation. The thing may have been done before, we do not know, but we have no knowledge that any great daily newspaper has ever seriously carried through such an undertaking.
This is an age in which ignorance of the Bible, especially among younger people, is appalling. Indeed, there are individuals who seem to take pride in the fact that they are ignorant of what the Bible contains. Ignorance of the Bible is often banded about as a good-natured sort of joke. Well, it is a very poor joke. Ignorance of the Bible is not only nothing to boast about, even jokingly, it is something to be very much, ashamed of. This refers not so much to the humble, religious people as it does to well informed people who pretend to be intellectual.
Aside from any consideration of the Bible as a holy and inspired document, it is one of the most important books in the world. A person has no more right to claim to be well informed and still be ignorant of the Bible as a book than he has to claim to be well informed and be ignorant of Aristotle, Shakespeare, Goethe's Faust, Origin of Species, or Leaves or Grass.
The Bible is a great book not, only for those who are orthodox believers but even for agnostics or the adherents of other religions. To those who wish to so limit it, the Bible is one of the most wonderful storehouses of great literature in the world. There is a very little poetry in the world as fine as the Psalms, the Song of Solomon, or the book of Job. But the Bible is more than literature; it is the immortal record of one of the greatest races in the world, the Jews; and moreover, for nearly two thousand years it has wielded a stronger influence over men's minds than any other book. It has been a force that has made and unmade history. All of these, or any one of these, is sufficient reason for being more or less familiar with its contents.
If people will not buy Bibles or read the ones which they already have, it is not a bad idea for a newspaper to publish it serially. Those who are not familiar with it will be surprised to find what an interesting book it is.
SOUTHERN STATESMEN SHOW OFF.
It is not often that the Southern members of Congress exhibit those rare qualities of statesmanship which so endear them to their constituents, that they are returned to their seats term after term. Last week, however, was a field day in the House of Representatives, with Representative Blanton of Texas as the star performer. In order to give an unprejudiced view of the performance we reproduce from the report of the New York Times correspondent, which cannot be suspected of partisan bias against the performers. It said:
Representative Thomas L. Blanton of Texas who, last year, was saved from expulsion from the House by the narrow margin of eight votes, but suffered censure before the tar of the House for obscene remarks, was denounced today in the House by his colleague, Representative Garner, as a "common tar," a "cowardly creature" and held up as a "disgrace to the House and a humiliation to the State of Texas."
This severe chastisement resulted from speeches made by Blanton in Texas, in which he accused members of the House of petty grafting and misusing their stationary allowance. Mr. Blanton denied some of the remarks imputed to him in the newspaper reports, but, in explaining what he did say, launched into an attack upon the members, who, he said, are in the House restaurant at the expense of the Government and indulge in many petty graft transactions, buying whiskey flasks and other personal things out of the stationery allowance.
Representative Blanton is the same member who during the Wilson administration held up an appropriation bill by an objection, on the ground that the Negro messengers in the departments would benefit by the inclusion of the war bonus in the measure. His objection was couched in the most vulgar and insulting terms possible, directed against this class of government employees.
The opinion that his fellow Congressmen from Texas entertain of Mr. Blanton was expressed by Representative Garner, who was reported as follows:
"Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House." Mr. Garner said, "in the United States there are all kinds of liars. There are artistic liars, and then there is the common ordinary liar."
ture—I have in my mind's eye—who would go to the stationery, room in the House office building, make inquiry as to the purchase of a whiskey flask, and, when he found that that could not get it because they did not have them for sale, would ask the superintendent to send to Philadelphia and buy him one in order that he might parade it in Texas, as though it was given to the membership of this House free of charge at the taxpayers' expense. That creature I have in my mind's eye, he is not within my range of observation.
"I know this individual would charge you with nepotism in order that he might parade his virtues in Texas, and at the same time have two of his children on the payroll of the Government.
"It is a harsh thing to speak about individuals, even if they are only in your mind's eye," added Mr. Garner.
"But I, speaking for myself alone, I say, with as firm a conviction as I ever spoke a word on this floor, that I believe that individual, that creature, would destroy his own family in order to accumulate wealth, or to place himself forward, from a political standpoint.
"I want to say for the Texas Alligation," concluded Mr. Garner, "that we hang our heads in shame and in humiliation every time Blanton of Texas is referred to as our colleague. I speak for the Democratic Party here. I believe, the sentiment of every man in it, when I say that we look upon him as a liability and a distinct injury to our party. Ab. Mr. Speaker, I wish the rules of this House did not prevent; I would say what is in the hearts of 430 men, but I will say that Thomas Blanton of Texas is a disgrace to the House of Representatives and ought to be kicked out."
According to the report given in the New York Herald, at the beginning of this gentle tribute to Representative Blanton, Democrats were shouting "Throw him out."
That is a straight tip for the Republican majority in Congress. Mr. Blanton may exhibit greater vulgarity and act more offensive than the average Southern Democrat, but the greater number of them have no moral or legal right to membership in that body. They are there by force and fraud, exercised in the suppression of a free vote and a fair count. By rights, they should be thrown out of the House, just as they wanted to throw out Blanton.

Referring to the coming meeting of the colored teachers of Louisiana, the Shreveport Sun said:
There was a time when the program of the association was largely devoted to "big speeches," display recitations, and scrambling for office. But, with the passing of the old time teacher, these conditions changed. Our teachers are realizing that there are many vital subjects of general interest to the public that they should consider and push as a united body of educators.
It is pleasing to note, in this connection, that the teachers of the State are endeavoring to secure for our group a State Normal school in which teachers may be thoroughly trained for their chosen work. A committee was appointed in the last annual session to put the matter before the State authorities, and report its findings to the session which meets next week.
The growing sense of the responsibilities of their vacation among the teachers of the face is a most promising sign for the future.
In discussing the moving picture films and the Ku Klux Klan die Portland (Ore.) Advocate said:
A motion picture, "The Face at the Window" in which the foreign element of our population is shown up to a disadvantage, was exhibited here several times at the Municipal Auditorium and was presented by the K. K. K.
ed to be shown at the Blue M. Theatre next week, beginning. We suppose the next films in order be one ridiculing the Catholics and the Jews. But the fact that of the theatres in the city are operated by Jews, there is the chance to get such a picture last mentioned through. But there are more ways than one to kill.
The logical deduction from the movement would appear to be that the fish owners of moving picture are helping the Ku Klux Klan ducing films that exploit discs. That phase of consideration by those inter.
The Illinois Conservative emigration as a remedy for the jills that beset the Negro industry. It says:
The time has come for the states of America to stop flying off agents and study and analyze laws confronting them. Take stance Mexico, a country adapted to jared man's very nature, from Texas—better known by hell's rival by only a bridge, offering every inducement, who man is treated right, and men merits no color distinctions and prejudice. Why don't the people of Texas flock to Mexico, they can't worry their spinsters.
That suggestion was put in place about twenty-five years ago, with a number of Negroes from the states were induced to go to Mexico as workers on a plantation. Ill success afforded the efforts at colonization, the Mexican peonage system and the ages of smallpox, it was stated. Mexico establishes a more stable environment, with better industrial and tary conditions, such a movement attain a larger measure of success.
The opening of the first Negro store in East Des Meines, Iowa, and the Des Meines Bystander to say.
This willingness on the part of Negroes to invest in business venture the best evidence that they are real becoming conscious of their importance as a business asset to the community and their faith in Negro cooperatives.
The extension of cooperative effort into business channels is a new element in the process of race development.
WHAT HOPE HAS A NEGRO?
Editor of The New York Times.
"WANTED--A master; an abolished colored man, good references, willing worker, will sell him self into slavery for his and his mother's keep; we must eat this best price. EDWARD FRAZIER 1101 Pasture street, Wilmington, Del."
---
this advertisement was presented to a newspaper in Wilmington, Del. by Frazier, who is twenty-five years old and claimed that he was $5 in arrears and was virtually without food or money. When a case like this is brought to public notice, should not the Negro of New York especially white up and take notice. If such a thing is happening to near New York, one with better to think of the possible outcome of the present unemployment. In a U.S. employment局 it is at 6th street and 7th and the recently states that they have few calls for colored, and day after day many colored are turned away out any hope of securing employment at any kind. Often they ask, "Were they take colored?" The tary answers, "That is just what I would like to know, but it seems so that not do their work well; are impatient to employees and are generally unsatisfactory. So with the familiar word, "I am sorry, but we have no colored, hundred, men and women so away discouraged from this, and their employment agencies all over the country, such a state of affairs continues, the Negro will necessarily be hit by him in America. Popular opinion is an army him all over the United States and only hope is in progressive citizenship." Despite four qualifications of the Negro he meets these successfully he may "Yes, there is hope." The first detail is that the Negro must become reified and cultured. Too many coarse, vulgar, loud, slendery, lazy and careless. He must not object to free and helpful criticism given by members of the white race. Why get angry at a white hishop tells us the truth, and says, "What your people need is higher regard for morality and life. You must have a higher conception of the laws of the state and the law God. There is too much excusing cruel and immorality."
This is the truth and every Negro who has any vision can see that with this advice is heeded, the race will deteriorate twice as quickly as it hasgressed. Leaders should not encourage the race in wrong doing by saying "White people do thus and so." Perhaps they do, but does that justify Negro? No, no. It Ethiopia ever expects to stretch forth her hands must climb higher; become nobler nobler and then stretch out clean him unto God.
Progressive citizenship demands special efficiency of the Negro to hold job and receive reasonable wages because of the great number of foreigners who are willing to work for comparatively nothing. The hope of the Negro is in the younger generation of the young Negro prepared to follow in the footsteps of their illustrious and women who have passed beyond Progressive citizenship has its plan for young women also. There are ten of thousands of young people in Harlem alone who are contented to be the hope of the race rest on the shoulders of a few, while they loaf or have good time. That is life, literally to them, and they fail to realize the importance and disaster are inevitable unless they change their habitats. Some may say "I am prepared but cannot nothing to do." That is wrong, any man or woman is thoroughly prepared progressive citizenship, through progress. That is the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Upton Lester. B. A. A. C. P.

The alternates are Albert C. Gilbert of New York City; James Arthur Curry of Thonaville, K. C.; James Garland Wood, Cotton Plant, Ark.; Arnold E. Stowe and Frank Williams of Fayetteville, N. C.
One of the contributing factors to the unusual interest shown in debating this year has been the formation at Howard of a national honorary debating fraternity to which only varsity debaters are eligible. The conference held at Howard on March 25th, to which delegates from Lincoln and Virginia Union University came, led to permanent organization of the honorary debating society to be known as the Delta Sigma Chi Fraternity.

This is the first honorary fraternity to be established among Negro college men. The provisional officers of the fraternity are: J. Garland 'Wood of Howard University, president; Frederick D. Johnson of Lincoln University, secretary-treasurer.

A large number of colored people attended the performance of "Taboo," at the Sam H. Harris Theatre, West 42nd street, on Friday, April 7th, and so far as I could see, all of them were seated in the balcony. Of course, this may have been by their own choice.
BUT—two seats had been reserved by a party by order of Miss Wiborg, the author, and Mr. Taylor, the publicity agent, and green coupons, marked "G 17" and "G 19," respectively, had been put into an envelope bearing the name in which the seats were reserved.
When the seats were called for, the ticket agent discovered that they had been reserved for colored auditors of another color, marked "D 101" and "D 103," respectively. He immediately extracted the green coupons, substituted two handing them to the prospective user. Not being familiar with the seating arrangements of the Sam H. Harris Theatre, that party was of the opinion at first that the gentlemanly (?) agent was giving better seats than had been at first set aside, as seats in "D" row would be three rows nearer the front than seats in "G" row.
Enjoying the theatre, however, it was discovered that these folks; and they were all white, holding green coupons were admitted to the lower floor, the parquet, while those with tickets of other colors were directed up the steps to the balcony. There were some whites in the balcony, but there were no Negroes in the parquet.
So the question naturally arose: Are the colored people being segregated at the Sam H. Harris Theatre for the 'Taboo' performance?
I do not know just what impulse motivated when Miss Wiborg undertook to write her play, "Taboo," dealing with the ancient voodoo rites of certain Louisiana Negroes, known as "The Circle of True Believers." whose most important invocations were offered on St. John's Eve (which falls on June 24th), the ceremony occurring at remote, and almost inaccessible points on the banks of Lake Ponchartrain.
But whatever may have influenced her, she has produced a play that is intensely interesting, revealing a wide and deep study on her part or the traditions and folk-lore of the Louisiana of years gone by. I cannot attempt to point out any particular moral which is drawn by the play, nor did it appear that any definite lesson was intended to be taught.
The story seemed to be centered about
The (Civil War) Junior Tiernan) a seventy-seven and containing no elements of little white boy, seven years old, who is mystery. If the voodoo dance, the end from birth been dumb, and whose King, once he began, never stopped un-
orad had never developed normally.
His grandmother, Mrs. Gaylord, (Margaret Wycherly) and a young man, Charles, (Henry O'Neill) apparently her son, was the child's guardian, and they had exhausted the resources of medical science in a fruitless effort to reduce the boy to normality.
In the meantime, from a talk between Stuart Angy (Marie Jackson Smart) and Mammie Darrell (Gamie Beile Denning) the child nurse it was clear that勇勇 was right on the cloud legends of "The Circle" there was one that told of a black king and a white queen who had existed generations before, and Aunt Jaya, one of the leaders of "The Circle," hinted darkly of some connection between this ancient pair and the present affection of the white child.
There was prevailing at the time a drought which had continued for many days and it was intended that the rites of St. John's Eye should be directed toward an appeal to the spirits of voodoo for relief through the bringing of rain. The power of superstition was shown when Mrs. Gazlord, in despair after failure of the doctors to cure The Child, agreed to a suggestion made by Monny-Dereas that the white woman go personally to the meeting of "The Circle" that night and ask for voodoo charms that would remove the child in chasm. The child was held in chasm. Tom (Alex Rogers), the family manman, was king of "The Circle" and his principal assistants were Aunt Mary, Moming Dorcas, Lennel John (Nilton Dees), Joseph (H W. Wilkie and Sadie) (Ruth Taylor). Men from laborers from the neighborhood plantations made up the member of the voodoo circle.
Brant (Paul Robeson) and Stirr (Harry Klajzer) are two wandering strangers in the community, strangely by accident to the scene ofounding rites just prior to the scene of the voodoo king and his followers. Jim goes to sleep behind a defending tree, where remains of the thief about half a mile away, unharmed around, runs into the scene of voodooists, but it chased away the scene. Then begin the voodoo
And it is free that the author or the minister has gotten away from reality and desired conditions that form the financial point of the play. All accounts of the ceremonies and rites engaged in the plumbing worshippers of Louisiana include the testimony of some individuals to have been eye-witnesses, and that these services were surrounded with mystery and healed about humanity. The gathering place is surrounded through devious and diffused and the atmosphere was that darkness and profound sacrifice with great terror as the fundamental

But this present day stage version gives a different interpretation. The officers, headed by Tom; the King, Aunt Annie and Mammy Doreas, with Sadie, Joseph and Lemuel following, came first upon the scene, and after dismissing the stranger, Stice, proceeded to engage in wordy and hilarious converse, which turned, at times, to angry disruption when the value of Joseph's Indian lockstone was compared with the truth and dead skins on which Aunt Annie punned her faith.
Before the others were finally assembled, the white woman was made to appear, and the King formed the Luck Ball which was to be the means of restoring The Child's lost facilities. As the took the Luck Ball and left to return home, the membership assembled and the voodoo incantations began. The sacred snake was brought in its box to the altar and the King began an invitation to the gods for raip. Under the spell of his fervid pleading, Ruth Taylor, as Sudee, slipped from amongst the worshippers, dropped her robe, disclosed herself as being half-clothed, bare as to shoulders and bust, and from thighs to toes. As the King invoked the voodoo spirits and the boa was thumped, this girl proceeded to do a dance of sorts, that might be called anything save the dance that characterized the voodoo rites of the "Girele of True Believers" on the shores of Lake Ponchartrain on St. John's Eve.
This traversity of a dance, following upon the levity and jollity which marked the opening of the ceremony, went far to destroy the effect of mysticism generated through the previous action of the play.
As the play transpired, the scene following, representing a "Juju compound along the Guinea Coast, Africa," is the materializing of a dream which came to the sleeping stranger, Jim, who, during all of the voodoo ceremony, slept behind a nearby-tree. In that African country, the dream showed a drought was prevailing, and Jim was the black King, with Mrs. Goyland as the white Queen, paralleling the legend hinted at by Aunt Angy in the first act. The people demanded a sacrifice for the propitiation of the angry rain gods, and The Child, mentally defective as in the reality, was surrendered by the Queen to The Beast (the witch doctor), for that purpose.
In this scene, a realistic African dance was done by The Breeze, characterized by C. Kamba Simango, a native African, now a student at Columbia University.
The following morning, when the awakes, Jim is discovered by the two plantation hands, Joseph and Lennard, who have The Child with them. Jim recognizes The Child as one of his dream creatures, and is mystified. The two hands finally entrust The Child with Jim to be taken home.
In the morning, Mrs. Geylord has prepared a feast day for her hands and those from neighboring plantations, and her house, necessitates The Child while unguarded. Corvette (Harold McCee) and Whistle (Wolfe Downing) both attend, while Dr. Eddy (Danny A Lennard). These men result in the death of the plantation hands.

strange. Negro and war god found, giving rise to the belief that it had been offered up by the vodoo *watchepors* as a sacrifice to the rain god.
This story so affects Mrs. Gaylord, that she becomes greatly distressed later when she learns that her grandchild had been placed in charge of a stranger, and that identity had been seen since. As her worries reached its highest pitch, the child returned, accompanied by Jim, and again does the Negro discover the living replica of an image of his dream, for in Mrs. Gaylord he sees again his white queen-concert of the African Juni compound. But the strain upon the white woman's emotions has been great, and when she sees the stranger in person, and recalls the story told a few minutes earlier by Wheeler, her heart is not strong enough to carry the burden and she collapses. Then when the white men rush out and seize the strange Negro, in the belief that he had injured the dead woman, The child speaks for the first time in its life, saying, "Don't hurt him!"
As the final curtain descends, there is brief over the death of the grandmother, but this is tempered by wonder at the miracle of the boy's cure and rejoicing at an impending rain which is being healed by flashes of lightning and crashes of thunder. The time of the play is set for 1880, and the scene is laid on a sugar plantation in Louisiana, and the entire action is compassed within twenty-four hours.
A mixed cast is used in the play, nine of the principals being colored and six white. The principal white character is taken by Margaret Wycherly, one of the most distinguished dramatic actresses on the American stage. But the bulk of the work, other than hers, is in the hands of the colored performers, Marie Jackson Stuart is powerful and intense in her characterization of the old crone, Aunt Anny, half pitch and so earnest, and she dominates her scenes. Her muttered warnings of ill portent carry a similitude of reality through the force of her personality, and she is all the more effective because of a well-studied and evident restraint of expression. There was what appears to be a curious and careless anomaly in her work in the first act. The curtain disclosed her in a scene with Manny Dorcas. She sat on the step and produced a pipe—then from a flag came a carton of modern safety matches, one of which she struck and proceeded to light her pipe—and I'm sure that in 1880 no modern safety matches were in use, especially down in the Louisiana swamps.
Alex Rogers, long and prominently associated with the stage, does some of the best work of his career as Toum, coachman by day and King of the wooded Circle by night. Paul Robeson, who first won fame as a student at Rutgers College, where he was one of the outstanding athletic stars, found opportunity to use his salient voice both dramatically and musically. His singing and acting were distinct features of the performance. Fannie Bee Deknight, as the buxom, good-natured "mammy," imitated the part more effectively than she characterized it. She

has not developed professional point or grace in use of hands and arms, and, too, she ought not to be made up to appear as youthful as she did.
Frank H. Wilson was the part Indian, Joseph, was a bit more temperamental than his supposed ancestry would warrant and he might well tone down his experience. Buk, Taylor, Harold Simmiser and Miles Dexter complete the cast of colored actors and they give a satisfactory account of themselves.
Miss Wycherly was carefully and dignified and performed throughout with graceful competency. Master Junior Tierman, Henry, O'Neill, Harold Mee, Walter Downing and David A. Leonard were the other whites in the cast.
A chorus of twewes, men and women, all colored, sang a number of spirituals and work and play songs behind the scene, and in the woods encantations. One of the numbers in the Lake Pouchartrain scene is a Lousiana Voodoo. Songs, written especially for this play by Harry T. Burleigh. It is explained that no record of the voodoo chant can be found and Mr. Burleigh has used the drum time as the basis of this composition. African chants used are from the collection of the late Natalie Curtis Burton, arranged by Simango and Cele William, E. Eikin directed the singing and Arthur Slone directed the orchestra, composed entirely of colored musicians. The players were assembled by Mrs. Dora Cole Norman of the Colored Players Guild.
One of the most grippin gildams yet given to the screen is the feature attraction at the Roosevelt Theatre on Friday, April 14th. This picture, "The Great Redeemer," is enacted by a special star costume by House Peters, and is consistently appropriate as an炎炎 preamble. It is the story of a God-given mission to an innocent man, in jail—the story of a life wrecked by man and saved by the healing power of the Saviour. It is filled with human emotions and a wonderful story of mother-love and the triumph of justice. In addition to "The Great Redeemer," an gildam story, "Desperation," featuring Elise Lincoln, will also be shown.
Another chamber entertainment will be presented on this theatre on Saturday, April 16th when William Russell will be seen in his latest production, "A Sporting Chance." In this picture Russell has the role of a young millionaire who registers at a metropolitan hotel for the purpose of killing himself, for reasons he seems good and sufficient, but which are not disclosed until later but which are about to pull the trigger, a shot in a room across the course of a band. Through the open window he sees a beautiful young woman bending over a prostitute figure and taking from the man's hand a magnificent jewel. There follows a number of thrills well worth seeing.

The Dunbar Players continued their triumph of last week by presenting "Over The Hill" for mite begin by Will Carleton, better large audiences at the Lafayette Theatre this week. Those who saw the motion picture for the same name a few months ago will remember the unusual story of mother love and the opportunity to affectionate axing. Andrew Tobias as Dick Sounders and Alex Desmond as his mother, Mrs. Sounders, never had better opportunities to demonstrate their powers in this line, and their performances are well worth seeing. They are also assisted by Edward Thompson, William (Babe) Townsend, H. L. Pryor, Walter Robinson, Will A. Cook, Harrison Jackson, Isabelle Jackson, Vivian Carter and Milly Powys.
presents the stage employees at this theatre receive entirely too much time to change the scenery. This was one of the performances both last week and this week. As the opening performance of The Storm, it required about ten minutes for this work, and on Monday night almost an equality long was needed to change the scenery. delays as this do much to spell the terms of the audience in the performances and the management would well to have these changes made as rapidly as possible.

JUNIOR SPORTS RECORD
As big surprise, was sprung in junior sports circles Saturday evening. April 1st, at St. Mark's Hall, when the Buffalo Juniors came out victorious over the mighty St. Marks Sparka. Thus the Buffaloes remain the undefeated junior champions. It was fully five or sevn minutes before either team scored. George Gregory of the Buffaloes made the first point of the game. To many of the onlookers it seemed as if Gregory was just a wee bit off, form, but at the same time his playing was creditable. Wesley Carter of the Buffaloes was the outstanding feature of the game with his sensational playing and long distance shooting. The score at the end of the first half was 7-5, with the Buffaloes leading.
During the second half the Sparka made a desperate effort to win and at one time they had tied the score. At this time, things looked brighten to them and they could almost smell victory but it was APRIL FOOL'S DAY! When the play became so tight the Buffaloes launched a little drive of their own, and when the final whistle blew the score was 27-24. The Buffaloes comprised Monroe, Turper, Gregory, Carter, and De Souza; while the Sultan Marks Sparka is composed of Saifch, Russell, Thompson, Flord and Harrigan. In the preliminary game the Saint Marks Juniors completely swamped the Eagle Independents, formerly of the "Y" by the score of 36-9. The Juniors had the better of both halves and kept the Independents wondering all the while how so start to check the onslaught.
The Buffalo Juniors have played and defeated teams averaging from 110 to 165 lbs. having played and defeated the Buckeye "S." lightweight champions of The Bronx. After the game Coach Ralston was seen wearing another broad smile. The Buffalo Triangles, second team of the Buffalos, are well rounding into the form of the Buffalo Juniors under the careful supervision of Coach Ralston. The Buffalo Midgets are on their way to the midget championship. Coach Ralston must be recognized as one of the best coaches in the city. In his first year as physical director in P. S. S. he turned out the P. S. A. L. basketball champions of 1919-1920 from that school. Among its players were such well known players of some of our Harlem teams as Tuffner, Wardell, G. Gregory, "Baby" Moore, E. McKenzie and others. About the time he took the Buffalos under his wing and they have been champions ever since.
At St. Marks Hall on Monday night, April 3rd, the St. Marks Flashes humbled the Brotherhood of Jersey City with a score of 59-33. The Flashes were in their best form and played all kinds of tricks on the visitors. The Brotherhoods didn't intend to give the game away without making the Eastern lightweight champions fight for it. Well, the "Champions" fought for it and then had time to play around with them in the second half. The score at the end of the first half was 31-16 with the Brotherhoods training along behind. During the second half "Billy" Freeman was taken out because of fouls but was replaced by Saitch, who fitted right into the machine. Around this time the Jersey City boys got a little fit and started to pile up some points, but the Flashes wouldn't smack them and run away. The final score was 59-33. Chris Huiswijk defended.
P. S. 89's athletic carnival and benefit that was staged at 89, was a huge success. Those who witnessed it received more than their money's worth of pleasure. Exhibition boxing bouts and a basketball game featured. Among
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, sailed for Europe on Tuesday, April 11th, on the Aquiliana from New York, accompanied by his manager, Jack Kearns, and several friends.
Before leaving, Dempsey said he had no definite plans, as to prospective matches while in Europe, but that he was willing to meet any opponent available, providing a satisfactory purse is offered.
With reference to Harry Wills, the Negro heavyweight, conceded to be the only logical aspirant for championship honors, the present champion said he has no prejudice because of Will's color, but that prejudice in America might make it beat that such a match be held in Europe. If it can be arranged, however, said Dempsey, he would be perfectly willing to meet Wills in the United States, at the esame time intimating that Kearns is dickering with English promoters who are figuring on staging the fight in Great Britain.
the popular and favorite amateur boxers, who appeared were Wilbur Cohen, E. Riley, T. Moses, Jimmie Chisholm and others. Despite the bad weather, a large number attended.
One of the most interesting and exciting games of the season was afforded the spectators last Saturday evening, April 8th, when the Buffalo Midgets trounced the St. C. "M" to take the score of 30-16. The Buffalo Midgets, following in the trail of their bigger brothers, the Buffalo Juniors, have practically the same style of clean playing and spirit. "Dicky" Wells of the St. C. "M" for some reason or other was out of the game, thus St. C. played under a slight handicap. Both teams played splendidly while Corbin and Satchel thinned for for St. C. - T. White, E. Paris and Charlie Wells of the Buffaloes, excelled all others.
All-Star teams of the three divisions, namely, lightweight, junior, and midgets, will be picked by the writer of this column and will appear in next week's edition. All teams in the above classes are especially requested to send in their line-ups to Junior Sports, New York Age, 230 West 135th street, New York Age. First and second teams with substitutes will be picked.
JOCKEY WINKFIELD IS SENSATION IN PARIS
(Special to The New York Age).
Paris, France—Winkfield, a Kentucky Negro boy, has been the sensation of the French flat racing season, winning nine races with his 14 mounts for Leon Mantacheff, a Russian owner.
Winkfield was caught in Russia by the Bolshevik revolution and was rescued through the efforts of the Swedish legation after a series of hardships and even imminent starvation.
He has won nearly 100,000 francs since the season opened, and is second only to Frank O'Neill, who is leading with 15 victories.
Y. W. C. A. Wins Last Game.
The 10th street Branch Y. W. C.
A. basketball team, under the direction of Miss L. Nelson, won the final game of the season in their gynasium on Saturday night, April 8th, by defeating the B. S. team of Englewood, N.
J. 14-0. The teamwork of the Y. W.
C. A. girls was so good that there wa sno individual stars, shut Miss Owens, captain of the Englewood team was the outstanding player of the game.
Kid Rash Outpoints Clark.
Kid Rash again defeated Johnny Clark in a twelve round contest at the 30th Regiment Armory on Friday night, April 7th. Although Clarke made a much better showing in this contest than he did when he fought Rash several months ago, he was unable to get in many effective blows. The judges' decision awarding the bout to Rash met with the general approval of the large number of fans present. Kid Rash has been matched to fight Danny Edwards the sensational, western bantamweight, at this armory on Friday night, April 21st.
