Intoxicating Beverages of All Sorts Are Openly Dispensed in Cigar Stores, Delicatessen Shops, Drug Stores, and Other Places--Putting Feet on Brass Rail a Popular Diversion
It has often been said that the coming of large groups of Negroes to a neighborhood has resulted in depreciation of the value of real estate in that neighborhood. Up to the present time this has not been true of property values in Harlem, but observers of conditions on Lenox avenue from 130th street to 145th street are beginning to wonder if conditions that are now being permitted there will not, if allowed t continue, cause property values to decrease.
Wife and Father of Dr. Hayes Both Die Within Same Week
Almost every delicatessen store and many of the cigar stores in this territory on Lenox avenue are selling the cigars and all kinds of home intoxicating beverages. And although the sale is supposed to be a thing of the past, several new saloons have opened on this avenue and a few other streets, and customers put feet on the "brass rails" in days of old.
Evidently the men who sell this trade have no fear of police or probation officers, for they now sell liquor over the counter to people they have never seen before. People who do not know that these stores are engaged in the sale of liquor are often embarrassed when they go into these stores to make other purchases.
A "Hootch Sandwich.
An interesting story was told by a lady who was attending a convention in Harlem. She went into a delicatessen store near 130th street and Lenox avenue and asked for a sandwich; after a few minutes wait, she was surprised to have the clerk bring her a glass of whiskey instead of the sandwich she ordered. Evidently the word "sandwich" was the word used by people who wanted a drink of whiskey.
A sign that created laughter on many of the delicatessen windows, during the recent Elks' meeting at Newark read: "Welcome to the I. B. P. O. F." For what? Not to sandwiches, but to "hooch."
The increasing number of stores on Lenox avenue operating apparently under police protection have resulted in the bringing to this street the worst element of colored people, who by their loud and profane language, are lowering the tone of Lenox avenue as a resident's street, and thus decreasing the rental value of its apartments.
Street Marked Nuisance
Another thing that is proving to be a hard to handle on the race on the street is the numerous lunch wagons and push carts along the street between 140th and 141st streets. Many people often wonder how it is that these wagons are permitted to operate here permanently, as it is generally known that there is a traffic regulation against wagons and carts parking in one place over night. Nevertheless, the operators of these lunch wagons feel so secure that many of those have taken the wheels from under the cars and built up more permanent parking.
There is no special need for these lunch wagons or for the push carts, as there are a number of restaurants in the city as well as several vegetable markets that sell their goods at as low a rate as these wagons do.
The residents and property owners on the street should make complaint.

C., for she had taken the trip South early in June, by a friend of her physicians, hoping that she would restore her health, which had not been good for nearly a year. An apparent improvement was witnessed but heart trouble described about the first of August and the end of August and the end of August, despite the best efforts of trained nurse and her

INCORNS APPPOINTED
1 APPRAISER AT N. O.
(Special to The New York Age):
New Orleans, La.—The last of the four white Old Line Republicans who stood by Walter L. Cohen, colored leader, in his fight for supremacy of Old Line Republicanism in Louisiana was named for the office of United States Appraiser of Merchandise at this port by President Harding during the present week. He is J. L. Higgins, of the Algiers section of this city.
The three who have already received appointments are Hugh Larrre, prohibition enforcement officer; Emile Kuntz, collector of customs, Port of New Orleans, and Dr. D. Lines, collector of internal revenue, New Orleans district.
Thus Mr. Cohen has seen all the white men who stood by him rewarded for their faithfulness. These men will, no doubt, continue to stand by him, and see in their turn that Mr. Cohen gets the naval office of the Port of New Orleans for which he has been held.
The Hon. Martin C. Amossey, who is acting president, should receive a unanimous vote in the coming primary Tuesday, September 19 (polls made a remarkable record—open from 3 to 10). He has one of the best in Congress. He has ably represented his constituents. No matter was too small for his attention, and the humbleest citizen could always approach him. He worked and voted for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. He has looked out for the interests of the soldiers. He gave a colored boy a chance to go to Annapolis, and has been faithful to the trust reposed in him by his friends and constituents. It is up to the people of his congressional district to give him a unanimous primary vote, and then afterwards to help select him back to Congress.

Hayes and they were married on November 16, 1910, in New York City, by the Jate Rev. Dr. M. W. Gilbert. When Rev. Hayes received a call to the pastorate of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, early in 1911, they moved to New York City, residing here ever since. They lived at 316 West 52nd street. Mrs. Hayes united with Mr. Olivet and was baptized by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell.
Special musical number rendered during the funeral services included a favorite hymn of Mrs. Hayes, "Jerusalem, the Golden," and solot by Miss Olive P. Hopkins, soprano soloist of the church choir, and Sidney Woodward soprano.
The eulogy was delivered by Dr. Powell, pastor of Abbyinian Baptist Church, with remarks by Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Brooks of St. Mark's M. E. Church, Rev. Dr. F. M.

NEW ORLEANS GARVEY LEADER TO SECEDE
By V. P. THOMAS.
New Orleans, La.—According to the way that T. A. Robinson, New Orleans leader of the Garvey movement, says he feels after spending thirty-one days with Garvey and his supporters in New York in attendance at their "convention" from August 1 to August 31, the New Orleans branch of the U. N. I. A. will either quit following Garvey and the outrageous methods he employs in handling the affairs of the association and line up behind some other fairer man who will organize a similar movement in opposition to it, or split up in factions aiming at the same end for the good of the Negro people of the United States.
Robinson declares that in all his long experiences as a member of various associations he has never witnessed such bold acts perpetrated on a constituency by a presiding officer as he witnessed were inflicted by Garvey on the constituents of the recent U. N. I. A. Convention in New York. He was sick and disgusted he says, with the pretensions of Garvey to have authority to bestow titles of data, duchesses, knighthood, and other foreign tomfooleeries on American citizens living in the United States, in ignorance or disregard of the established customs of our citizens not to wear titles of a foreign government or country, and when Garvey added insult to injury by ruling everything according to his personal wishes instead of the wishes of the bona fide delegates of the convention, he came to the conclusion that to follow Garvey any longer one would have to be a rank fool.
He said Garvey's following was almost all of the foreign element of Negroes in New York City and but a handful of Americans.
DISABILITY RELIEF FOR 19TH A.D. VETS
Alexander Holtsoff, deputy commissioner for the 19th Assembly District, David B. Costuma, leader of the New York State Veterans' Relief Cimmission, has paid out over $5,000 to veterans of the World War residing in the 19th Assembly District who are suffering from disability incurred in the service and are without employment. The payments commenced last May and are still being continued. A total of 58 men have received compensation from him, of whom 45 are in the upper part of the district.
The payments are made monthly and they vary in amounts according to the nature of the disability, the number of dependents that the applicant has, and the general circumstances of the case. The largest sum received by any veteran is $45 per month.
Commissioner Holtsoff has his headquarters at the Harlem Board of Commerce, 290 Lenox avenue, where he has office hours every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening.
There is no red tape or technicality connected with making application for relief. Each application is dispensed promptly and in those cases that are favorably considered payments are generally made within forty-eight hours after the application is received.
Among the applicants have been num-
rums veterans of the 1939 Inland
infection, which suffered so severely during its
fourteen months' stay over peas. Many
of the men who are receiving con-
pensation are suffering from the effects of
gas, others from the effects of wounds
injured in battle, fires and some from
shell shock.

THE MUSEUM SURGICAL AND BATH HOUSE
Dr. E. C. Morris, President Incorporated Baptists, Dead
(By ALBON L. BOLSBY.
Hot Springs, Ark.—A fraternal organization which advocates the bath, the screen and fresh air may not be new "under the sun" but the slogan, "clean houses, clean bodies, clean lives," has helped to make the Woodmen of Union one of the strongest orders of its kind in the country. In spite of the railroad strike, representing more than 2,00 delegates, representing 1,200 local lodges in the states of Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida and Missouri, gathered here for the annual grand lodge session, and the dedication of the $150,000 hospital and bath house was the outstanding feature of the week's proceedings.
On Wednesday evening at Visitors Chapel A. M. E. Church addresses of welcome we were delivered by Dr. C. M. Wade on behalf of citizens; R. C. Barrow on behalf of the churches; and S. M. Wyat on behalf of the local fraternal organizations, G. S. Good-
(Special to The New York Age).
Little Rock, Ark—Two days before the original date of the forty-second annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., its president for many years, the Rev. E. C. Morris, died here at his home on Tuesday, September 4.
His last official act was signing the order which postponed, because of the railroa distrike situation, the 1922 session of the convention which was to be held at Los Angeles, Calif., on September 6.
It is a peculiar coincidence that the two most responsible for the differences which resulted in the wide-open split of the Baptist forces in America and the consequent organization of two national conventions, Dr. Morris and the Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd of Nashville, should have died within two weeks of each other. The death of Dr. Boyd occurred at Nashville on August 23.
Dr. Morris was a prominent figure in Baptist ranks, and was the storm center for years of the fight carried on between the two bodies of Baptists in seeking for control of the publishing interests at Nashville, which fight was
GOV. PARKER TO MAKE WAR ON KU KLUX KLAN

Special to The New York Age).
New Orleans, La.—Gov. John M. Parker has declared war on the Ku Klux Klan in this State and in a public announcement stated he would go personally to Mer Rouge, scene o fa recent kidnapping of five men, two of whom have not been accounted for, "if developments are as I expect."
"In commenting on his action in instructing the District Attorney to investigate and clear up the Mer Rouge kidnapping, the Governor stated: "My information, received from all sides, is that the Ku Klux Klan is responsible for this outrage. This is a fight to the finish and its finish means the end of terrorism in Louisiana."
In a letter to the Governor, Mrs. Samuel Richards, wife of one of the missing men, stated her efforts to have the local organization of the Ku Klux Klan assist in clearing up the disappearance of her husband had been ignored by that organization.
Watt Daniels, the other missing man, and Richards were kidnapped along with three others by masked men on the road between Bipstrop and Mar Rouge, two weeks ago. The three companions of Daniels and Richards were subsequently released.
man of Holly Springs, Miss., supreme vice-president, responded on behalf of the visitors and he took occasion to tell something of the achievements of the organization during the past six years.
President's Annual Address
Dr. E. A. Kendall, the supreme president, in his annual address, reviewed the past record of the organization and in contrast with the records of previous years he stated that it was a "source of pride to the order and to the race" that inspire of unsettled economic conditions throughout the country the Woodmen of Union had made most remarkable progress this year.
He praised the deputies and field organizers for their "honest, efficient and loyal co-operation in the management of the affairs of the order this year." The local lodges, through their officers, "have records accurately; in spreading the doctrine of "Love, Truth and Justice" for which the organizations

Los Angeles, Cal. - The indefinite postponement of the forty-second annual session of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., scheduled to meet here on September 6. was a great disappointment to Californians. There had been one or two efforts during the year to change the place of meeting, but to no avail.
Rev. William Taylor of Baton Rouge, La., was sent here in January to make an inspection of conditions and he reported to the board in Nashville that everything was O. K.
When the Sunday-school and B. Y. P. U. Conventions met in New Orleans in June they sent a special commission of four men, who also reported in favor of Los Angeles.
Then just a week before the time for the meeting the executive board assembled in Memphis, Tenn., and because of the railroad strike the Los Angeles meeting was indefinitely postponed.
But Los Angeles wants the meeting held here when the strike is over. The local committee has been given $4,300 by white citizens and more than 4,000 homes are waiting to care for the delegates. Let the National Baptist Convention, Inc., keep faith with Los Angeles and a host of Californians.
Threatening Letter AfterHumanHand
Following the receipt, last week, though the mails from New Orleans of a human hand, Philip Randolph, editor of the "Messenger," has received a letter signed "K. K. K," as was the one accompanying the hand, in which he is again the object of dire threats.
Typed in red ink, the letter read:
"You will never live to see January 1, 1923, for we don't want niggers like you here."
Then in ink in print letters was the sentence, in a double line—
This letter was received in the 10.30 a.m. m. mail delivery of Tuesday, September 12, and it was dated at New Orleans, La., on September 6. The postoffice have not indicated asked any knowledge as to the identity of either the sender of the human being or of this last letter.

Washington, D. C.—During one of the conventions recently held in this city, an intelligent group of gentlemen, hailing from all sections of the country, happened to meet at one of the popular club houses. This chance meeting soon developed into a round-table discussion of affairs, pertaining to racial group, and as in all cases when men of this type meet and begin to relate their personal experiences and observations, the conversation became serious as the different phases of our citizenship, our retardation and our development were presented.
Possibly the most discouraging side of the picture was presented by the Southern men, a number of whom are wealthy or well-to-do. They appeared as ship-wrecked mariners at sea in a ruderless boat. They entertained but little hope for the development of the colored masses in the Southland, and agreed that a further thinning out through migration to Northern agricultural regions and industrial centers would be the very best thing that could happen to both the Negroes and whites because it would decrease the labor surplus and cause the indolent white men to go to work.
standpoint than the increasing illiterate amalgamation between the whites and blacks.
The fact also brought out that not only are the ambitious Negroes leaving the South, but that the better type of white men and women are also leaving in large numbers. One gentleman called attention to a certain factory located in the Middle West where more than two thousand white girls are employed.
Send Foreign Labor South.
It was suggested that no agency is needed to cause greater progress in the migratory movement of Southern one.
Southern Whites Should Work
It was thought that if in the smaller communities the lazy, lounging, hitching post leaner and fence rail white men, who only vary their daily program by going down to the station to watch the train come in, could be induced to go to work through a shortage of Negro labor racial conditions would not be so acute, wages would increase, the wonderful natural resources would not be so dependent upon Northern capital for development, and that their example would stimulate to a greater activity a certain and rather numerous class of Southern Negroes who believe that if there were anything to be gained by hard work the local white men would get busy, at home in a white.
Another viewpoint was that the Southern States need a few million foreign-born white workers, and it was remarked that of the nearly fourteen million foreigners who are now in this country, but little more than three-fourths of one million live in the combined sixteen Southern States.
The opinion was expressed that the native whites of the South stand badly in need of an infusion of new blood and that a mixture with the foreigners would result in more permanent good to the South, at least from an Anglo-Saxon

Man's Descent From Monkey Arouses Dry Agent's Wrath
Discussion of Darwinian Theory by Bolden at Political Club Meeting Leads to "Wet" Prohibition Officer Being Doubly "Shot"
(By LUCIEN H. WHITE).
For a few minutes on Thursday evening, September 7, inmates, employees, officers and visitors at the Young Woman's Christian Association, West 137th street, near Seventh avenue, admired that the World War had recommenced and that she scpe of its activities had been transferred from the Marine in France to the corridors of the New York women's institution, in Harlem.
The auditorium of the "Y-W" has been used weekly for several months by the members of a new political organization, the Appointax Republican Club, as its place of assemblage. There had been at former meetings no other reminder of the historic civil war battlefield from, which the club took its name than was to be found in the verbal pyrtechnical flights and heard vocal discussions with which the would be political powers and aspirants for public preference regulated the audiences.
But on this occasion there was to be something different. A more sinister shadow overthem the assemblage but its subtle form was not discovered properly annuall by the smell of burning powder and the hum of whistling bullets.

WHITE STUDENTS ARE PLAYING FOR THEIR SURHERNERS Attending the Eastman Business College at Poughkeepsie Are Creating Dangerous Conditions.
(Special to The New York Age). Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-White Southerners here attending the Eastman Business College occasionally find themselves in hot water because they cannot realize that colored people in Poughkeepsie are not to be treated as they are in Texas and Georgia.
One young Texan is under $1,000 ball for a wanton and brutal attack made on Attorney G. C. Bolin. Mr. Bolin, on his way to supper was assaulted unexpectedly and knocked down. The white man will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
On the same afternoon, Mrs. Mary J. Golden, walking on Main street, was approached by another white southerner, who inquired in the most insulting manner, "Who in hell put all the gold in your mouth?"
White and colored Poughkeepsians are of one mind that these outrages will not be permitted and the southerners will be in for unpleasant experiences if they attempt a continuance of these acts.

the Appatomat Club members. The public had also been invited to hear Mr. Bolden, who is always interesting and thought (ul in his discourses. Other than announcing himself as a candidate and respectfully requesting the suffrage of those present at the Primary on September 19, the speaker did not refer directly to political matters.
Rather he took up the more weighty question of racial advancement, discussing the various factors which lend themselves, intellectually, spiritually, ethically and physically, so that end. Environment was raised 'of as one of these factors, and an incidental reference was made to the Darwinian theory of man's descent from the monkey.
Until this moment the speaker had received the utmost attention of the audience. The people had listened approciatively, punctuating the talk with applause at proper and appropriate periods. When his reference to the monkey prognature was not productive at first all more than passing interest.

But somewhere in the inner recourse of a befuddled conjecture, the mind had lodged, and some minutes later the case an interruption. In the middle was a man, and to have been entrusted in a predicable agent for the question of the Darwinian theory had with devious and blatant hostility brought to the attention of the public.

DISSATISFIED REPUBLICANS.
It has become almost an assom of politics in New York State, that the defeat of Republican candidates is generally accomplished by the votes of Republican voters. That is to say causes of dissatisfaction within the party are more responsible for the defeat of its candidates than any additional strength manifested by the opposing candidates. In view of this well-known condition prevailing for years in the history of the party, it is somewhat surprising to observe the instillence with which most of the party leaders content that Governor Nathan Miller is the only available candidate for the coming campaign.
It may be admitted that from the general standpoint of good government Governor Miller has made an excellent record, but he has also given praise for dissatisfaction among certain classes of voters. Without going into causes of dissatisfaction expressed with the Governor, other elements of the party strong enough might be well to consider the reasons that have contributed to this feeling among the Negro voters.
That general stratification among the voters of the state exists over the attitude of the State administration is fair, that cannot be ignored. While the majority of these voters are in favor of good government, they want to feel that they are in some measure participants in the task of administering that government, which they help by their votes to put in office. The attitude of the present State administration has been absolutely to ignore the Negro voters as citizens and as voters. No place has been assigned them in the filling of others, either of an honorary nature or those of eminent.
Republican county and State leaders are both engaged in preparing or the coming State convention and the nomination of the most of the present State officers. They are counting upon enlisting the solid support of the colored voters in electing the ticket that will be named. If the will but consider the attitude of the State administration during the past two years, they must realize that they have no case upon which to appeal to these voters for support. The past period of neglect and lack of recognition cannot be wiped out by a few soft words of capolery and evasive promises for the future.
The dissatisfaction among the voters of this race is a condition that should be taken into account in planning for the Republican campaign this fall.
HAITI IN THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
The third assembly of the League of Nations, which opened ray sessions at Geneva, Switzerland, the first part of September, revealed the fact that the Republic of Haiti is still represented by a delegate in that body. M. Bellegarde, the delegate in question, demanded an investigation of a so-called putative expedition sent out by the South African Government, which slaughtered forty-nine natives, several of whom were women and children.
The South African authorities who sent out this marauding part held a mandate under the authority of the League of Nations, for the territory occupied by these natives, a tribe of Hottentots. The pretext for the punishment inflicted upon this tribe was that its members had resisted the payment of a dog tax, a heavy imposed. These dogs were necessary to the Hottentots in their occupation of raising sheep and it was declared that the natives were obliged to sell their stock in order to meet the tax. Those who failed to do this were summarily drowned by airplanes, bombs and machine guns operated by mandatories under the authority of the League of Nations.
This revelation of the methods pre-
cluding under the League in dealing with
subjugated Africa shows that no reform
in improvement has resulted from the
plague due to the World War. The
most ruthless methods of extorting tax
from the natives practiced by Belgium,
German, British and French colon-
ial officials, are in force under the
natives given by the League. The
South African government, which comp-
lies the brutality of the Bair and the
slavery, is pursued by the laws which no-
tify the subjugated peoples. This struc-
ture has been a major factor in the
such hands is equivalent to opening a pack of wives in charge of the shapd fold.
The Haitian delegate was entirely warranted in asking the League of Nations if women and children could be slaughtered, in such manner under its authority. The League of Nations was the pet project of Woodrow Wilson, who devoted all his powers as President of the United States, to its institution. Is it possible that he contemplated such a protraction of its powers as was illustrated in this instance?
An answer may be found in the condition of Haiti, the country represented by M. Bellegarde. Although an independent republic and a member of the League of Nations, its government was subverted by the armed forces of the United States, with no mandate but the curt order of the Secretary of the Navy under President Wilson. The cases of Haiti and of the South African Hottentots show that the evils men do in public office last from one administration to another.
MAKING POLITICAL WEDGES.
The work of splitting political parties is proceeding with more or less activity in different parts of the country. All that is needed for this sort of operation is a wedge of sufficient dimensions to insert in one of the rifts that frequently occur in party harmony and a sector of votes is divided from the party circle. The Lilywhite movement in such States as Virginia and Georgia has proved an effective wedge in promoting division among the Republican factions, while similar results are looked for in Florida. In Texas the Ku Klux Klan, which proved its power in the recent primary elections, is heralded as the political wedge to promote a split in the Democratic ranks. A news dispatch dated at San Antonio last week made the following prediction:
The anti-Ku Klux Klan element in the Democratic Party will line up with Republicans at the November election to defeat Earl B. Mayfield. Democratic nominee for the United States Senate, it was announced today following the failure of the state Democratic Convention yesterday to take a firm anti-Klan stand.
While such predictions as the above, even when coming from Democratic sources, as in this case, are not always to be taken at face value, there is much in the Texas situation to make such a result probable. The Ku Klux issue has come out ahead in the contest for naming the candidates of the Democratic party in the coming election, but only after a bitter fight by the opposition. The Klan in Texas has not confined its program of nighthiding, whipping and assaults to Negroes only; it has included white men and women among its victims. This had aroused an intense opposition, which has sound expression in the courts, one judge holding that "each of allegiance to the klan rendered the klan member ineligible to hold his under the state or county government." The advocates of the lawless klan methods, after naming their candidates and holding possession of the party machine, sought to disarm opposition by reaffirming the fact that the Democratic party of Texas was "a white man's party." The obvious intention was to present any such split as that predicted in the above news dispatch.
Whether the opposition to the lawless violence of the Ku Klux Klan among the decent Democrats of Texas is strong enough to permit them to resolve against a socalled "white man's party" remains to be seen. If any considerable number of them adopt this course, it may prove that the Klan issue is the wedge designed to split the Solid South
FOUL LANGUAGE ON THE
STREETS.
An objectifiable feature of public concern that has forged itself upon unwilling ears in the Hartem section is the volume of filth and obscene language heard upon the public thoroughfares. Plain and fancy sweeping, with the careless use of the names of the Deity are common comment, while earnest discourses are flavored by terms of reproach and objugations that should blister the tongues that utter them. Not only are such terms heard proceeding from members of the male sex, but not infrequently women are among the worst offenders.
language of such character as can be heard upon some of the principal thoroughfires of Harlem is a reproach to any community. If it may be regarded as an index to the character of the person using it, they should be sent to a reformatory for corrective discipline. In the olden days, New Jersey provided a duckling stock for scolds, and shrews, who could not be cured of their propensity for tongue lashing by any other means. Some such corrective is sadly needed in parts of Harlem today.
The use of foul language in public places stands the person suing it as a bad character, disregardful of the common decencies of society and a disturber of the public peace. An attempt of bad language is only one degree less lawless than an assault by bodily violence. The aggressor in both cases should be bound over to keep the peace.
If any sense of shame remained in the midindividuals who use the language complained of, it might be appealed to to stop the fear of vulgarity and profanity that issues from their lips. But they are probably dead to any appeal of that kind and ignorant of the degree of their offense. The only force that would appeal to their hardened senses would be the force, of the law. Let the gullible add to their guilty deeds the stakes of the continuing fear of public embarrassment.
THE NEW YORK AGE; SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1924.
WORDS. VERSUS DEEDS.
said that language was made to be a signram which, like most epigrams, is true that language is often used to be an intolerable world if people all that they think.
Use of language is not nearly so bad as speech is put. I refer to the taking and turning them into fetiches, in which we fall down and worship. Words and phrases just as the do is, the worship is almost complete.
Of abstract ideals and ideas into with Plato. Plato, in making thought found it necessary that no would have nanes. He was dealing order to handle them he had to findification and naming of abstract the philosopher implements with which of statesmen, politicians and deities of human society.
Mouths of the statesman, the politician, terms as Liberty. Justice. Patriotism should be mentioned, no longer expressly vague generalities. They have a sort of patter, and when uttered by a woman actually no more meaning of american, minic, mo" in the mouths of Southern politician put into office constituency, and he can make Liberty and Justice as any other that be able to throw out considerable justice than would some orator from nation of the country; and the woman can sit down after such an event from his brow as he listens to the him and really feel that he is a de
talent use of terms that once represent it have come to represent only what confined to ignorant or designing it is often indulged in by the wise example, see the speech made by S. Hughes at the dedication of the monument at the exposition ground that took this occasion to explain the toward South American countries being from an Associated Press disbanded countrymen," said Mr. Hughes. "Knows desire the independence, the unimpairedity and the constantly increasing prosperity. We have our domestic problems, a few people, but there is no imperious even a shadow across the pathway of territory, we seek no compasses. The people for others and we assert no right accord to others. We sincerely desire an abiding race, a reign of justice and of benchcient cooperation. It is this design American sentiment."
So is familiar with the record of naming and in Nicaragua, where given, natives shot down by thousands of American marines, and where still maintained by American an was possible for Mr. Hughes to convince with the truth. How can the foreign relations, knowing that reelegnty of Haiti and Santo Domingo the people of Brazil, "You know furthest independence, the unimpairedity and the constantly increasing prosperity?"
Explanation is that men have too great words and phrases as they deities to be worshipped up on a station to daily actions.
It has been said that language was made to conceal thought. This is an epigram which, like most epigrams, cannot be pressed too far. It is true that language is often used to conceal thought. In fact, it would be an intolerable world if people went about blurring out all that they think.
But that use of language is not nearly so harmful as another use to which speech is put. I refer to the taking of abstract words and phrases and turning them into fetiches, in fact, making them little gods which we fall down and worship. And men worship these gods of words and phrases just as the do the gods of their religions; that is, the worship is almost completely independent of behavior.
This coining of abstract ideals and ideas into words and phrases began perhaps with Plato, Plato, in making his discoveries in philosophical thought found it necessary that not only things but also ideas should have names. He was dealing with ideas and ideals, and in order to handle them he had to find names for them. But this classification and naming of abstract ideas which gave the mind of the philosopher implements with which to work have in the mouths of statesmen, politicians and demagogues become one of the curses of human society.
In the mouths of the statesman, the politician and the demagogue, such terms as Liberty, Justice, Patriotism, and a dozen others that could be mentioned, no longer express definite ideas. They are simply vague generalities. They have come to be a sort of jargon, a sort of patter, and when uttered by the politician and the demagogue have actually no more meaning or intent than the patter, "eenie, meenie, minie, mo" in the mouths of children at play.
Take any Southern politician put into office by a lynching, Negro burning constituency, and he can make just as perfervid a speech about Liberty and Justice as any other orator. Indeed, he is likely to be able to throw out considerable more gas about Liberty and Justice than would some orator from a freer and more enlightened section of the country; and the worst of the matter is that such a man can sit down after such an effort and mop the perspiration from his brow as he listens to the applause of the morons around him and really feel that he is a defender of Liberty and Justice.
This irregalent use of terms that once represented well defined ideas but have come to represent only vague and nebulous abstracts is not confined to ignorant or designing politicians and demagogues. It is often indulged in by the wisest and most intelligent. For example, see the speech made by Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes at the dedication of the site for an American centennial monument at the exposition grounds in Rio Janero.
Mr. Hughes took this occasion to explain the attitude of the United States toward South American countries. We quote the following clipping from an Associated Press dispatch:
"You, my fellow countrymen," said Mr. Hughes, "know, full well how sincerely we desire the independence, the unimpaired sovereignty, the political integrity and the constantly increasing prosperity of the people of Latin America. We have our domestic problems, incident to the expanding life of a free people, but there is no imperialistic sentiment among us to cast even a shadow across the pathway of our progress.
"We must no territory, we seek no conquests. The Liberty we cherish for ourselves we desire for others and we assert no right, for ourselves that we do not accord to others. We sincerely desire to see throughout this hemisphere an abiding race, a reign of justice and the diffusion of the blessings of benevolent cooperation. It is this desire which forms the basis of Pan American sentiment."
Anyone who is familiar with the record of this country in Haiti, Santo Domingo and in Niacaragua, where governments have been overthrown, natives shot down by thousands with American rifles in the hands of American marines, and where the will of the United States is still maintained by American armed forces, will wonder how it was possible for Mr. Hughes to use language so directly at variance with the truth. How can the man who is at the head of our foreign relations, knowing that we have overthrown the sovereignty of Haiti and Santo Domingo and Nicaragua, say to the people of Brazil, "You know full well how sincerely we desire the independence, the unimpaired sovereignty, the political integrity and the constantly increasing prosperity of the people of Latin America?" The only explanation is that men have too generally come to regard their goods of words and phrases as they regard the goods of their religions, deities to be worshipped up on special occasions without any relation to daily actions.
SHOCKING INFORMATION
which we reproduce, in the two volumes than a personal interest for Mr. W. W. It was published. The "Literature of the New York "Evening" Readed "Reader's Guide," where queries are answered. The following joined in the issue of September 2: Porfolk, Va., would like to know of the L. W. W. she has seen listed in a local paper authored of the "anthologies." Stanley Braithwaite, author of two volumes
The clipping which we reproduce in the two following paragraphs has more than a personal interest for Mr. W. S. Braithwaite concerning whom it was published. The "Literary Review," the literary supplement of the New York "Evening Post," carries a page which is headed "Reader's Guide," where questions regarding books and authors are answered. The following inquiry and answer were contained in the issue of September 2:
"W. O., Norfolk, Va., would like to know of the William Stanley Braithwaite whom she has been listed in a local paper as a Negro lyric poet is the Braithwaite of the "anthologies."
William Stanley Braithwaite, author of two volumes of poems of delicate leaves, "Lyrics of Life and Love" and "The House of Falling Leaves," and one of the literary editors of the Boston Transcript, stands, according to the prefatory essay in "A Book of American Negro Poetry," edited by James Weldon Johnson (Harcourt), "unique among all the Aframerican writers the United States has yet produced. He has gained his place, taking as the standard and measure of his work the identical standard and measure applied to American writers and American literature. He has asked for no allowance or rewards, either directly or indirectly, on account of his race." This collection, which has not a few poems no lower of our country's poetry can afford to miss, contains twelve lyrics by Mr. Braithwaite and a brief biographical sketch. He has compiled seven anthologies, not including his significant and valuable contribution to the revival of interest in American poetry, the nine volumes of the annual "Anthology of Magazine Verse," 1913-1921.
No doubt this information will come to the Virginia lady as a decided shock. She is evidently a woman of culture and refinement and especially interested in literature. It is not improbable that she is herself a sometime writer of poetry. Doubtless for a number of years she has looked up to Mr. Braithwaite as the great authority and oracle of poetry in the United States. She may even be one among the hundreds of correspondents who write to Mr. Braithwaite regarding the poetry of others and of themselves. It may be that often among her friends she has enthusiastically expressed her admiration for Mr. Braithwaite as a poet, as an antologist and as a critic. And now we wonder what effect will the knowledge that Mr. Braithwaite is a colored man have upon her. Will she will be glad at any day his lyrics are fun as delicacy and knowledgeable in the art of poetry?
or will the belated knowledge that he is a colored man make a change.
We hope not. We hope the Virginia lady enjoys more intellectual freedom than the young lady from Mississippi who once shid, "I used to just dote on Dunbar's poetry until I found out he was a nigger."
Yet culture is not entirely colorless in the United States. There are lots of people who cannot recognize artistic excellence if it is the work of a Negro. This brings up an amusing reminiscence:
Some years ago Cole & Johnson were at the height of their popularity as writers of songs, they did a series of six songs at the request of Mr. Bok, then editor of the "Ladies Home Journal," which were published in that magazine. A few months later Mr. Bok announced that he was going to publish a song written by a young Negro musician of Georgia. Following the announcement he received a letter from a white lady irr Georgia in which she protested against any such use of the pages of the "Ladies Home Journal." She argued that it was impossible for a Negro to interpret esthetically even the music of his own race. She concluded her letter by urging upon Mr. Bok to publish some more of the beautiful songs written by Cole & Johnson.
Mr. Bok published the lady's letter in full without comment. Perhaps she is even to this day ignorant of what she had really said.
TO TIP OR NOT TO TIP.
To tip or not to tip—that not travelled much do not reoften is. This is especially true there is not whether one should a gratuity should be given. In bit of personal service. The is whether the tip he gives will be looked upon by the uniform as a "cheap skate," or whether it above what is generally given as upon as an easy mark. Anyone for the first time and without formation will realize the trust of a man who went on so because he did not know how much.
But it appears that now it has gone beyond being a matter or a matter of regard on the reported in the New York "Wit that the headwaiter of an Entr of a well-to-do American the foe.
"Your husband left without lee is a most disagreeable thing for a m think as I do. I tried it my duty to my association so that every h Wales may know your name and staff in this hotel."
Now, what does this indicate of Great Britain, if not organize and shorter hours, are organize. It appears from the headwaiter's tips but every person will be on his means. Multi-millionaires were millionaires, and millionai folk. This makes the whole man a person's tips, and the tip does been given by the hotel associate be blacklisted in all the hotels, Wales.
Some people might think such of small importance, but that is trip to Great Britain could be made on such a black list.
But back to the main question was right in leaving the hotel had waited upon him and his fast strict grounds upon which tipping we like to tip those who have personal service.
To tip or not to tip—that is the question. Those who have not travelled much do not realize what a puzzling question it often is. This is especially true in Europe; although the puzzle there is not whether one should tip or not, but as to how much of a gratuity should be given. In Europe attip is expected for every bit of personal service. The real puzzle for the traveller, then, is whether the tip he gives will be regarded with scorn and he will be looked upon by the uniformed ranks of attendants with disdain as a "cheap skate," or whether the amount he gives will be so much above what is generally given and expected that he will be looked upon as an easy mark. Anyone who has visited a European hotel for the first time and without having been given any inside information will realize the truth of this statement. There is a story of a man who went on staying indefinitely in a Paris hotel because he did not know how much or how little to tip the help.
But it appears that now in England the question of tipping has gone beyond being a matter of choice on the part of the tipper or a matter of regard on the part of the tipper. An incident was reported in the New York "World" a few days ago to the effect that the headwaiter of an English Summer hotel sent the wife of a well-to-do American the following note:
"Your husband left without leaving any gratuities for my staff, which is a most disgraceful thing for a man of his standing. Your friends here think as I do. I feel it my duty to forward your name to my club and to my association so that every hotel in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales may know your name and the ungenerous way you treated the staff in this hotel."
Now, what does this indicate? It indicates that the hotel help of Great Britain, if not organized for strikes and for higher wages and shorter hours, are organized to regulate the matter of tips. It appears from the headwaiter's note that there are no standardized tips but every person will be expected to tip in accordance with his means. Multi-millionaires will, of course, be rated higher than mere millionaires, and millionaires higher than mere well-to-do folk. This makes the whole matter still more puzzling. Even if a person tips, and the tip does not reach the rating which he has been given by the hotel association, the result will be that he will be blacklisted in all the hotels of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Some people might think such blacklisting might be a matter of small importance, but that is not true. The whole of a person's trip to Great Britain could be made a dismal failure by being placed on such a black list.
But back to the main question. We do not think the husband was right in leaving the hotel without any tips for people who had waited upon him and his family. There may be no legal or strict grounds upon which tipping can be justified, but personally we like to tip those who have given us efficient and cheerful personal service.
A RECORD THAT DESERVES
SUPPORT.
Senator Joseph H. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey is a candidate for renomination. Mr. Frelinghuysen has not only acquitted himself as an able representative of his State in the United States Senate, but he has tried to include the colored voters of that State as among the constituents to whom he has rendered faithful service. In these days of statesmen with short memories and unwilling minds, this is a trait uncommon enough to arrest attention. The colored voters of New Jersey should show their appreciation of the service rendered their interests by Senator Frelinghuysen by giving him their united support; at the primaries and at the polls. They should stand by a man who stands by them.
The Blue Helmet is a magazine published for the American Negro soldier of the World's War at Boston. In an article on "Negro Posts in the American Legion," it said:
The organization of Negro posts in the American Legion, it seems, has not been perfected up to the present time. Four years have elapsed since the first American caucus. Only ten tensions with Negro posts have made returns to National Headquarters.
From official records it is found that Kansas leads in the number of Negro posts, with incomplete returns from eight.
New York in second place with five posts, three of them reporting a membership of 196.
New Jersey is next with three, a membership of 91. Deleware Missouri and Pennsylvania are next with two each, a membership of 32 and 35, respectively, incomplete returns from the third.
The following states trail in alphabetical order with one each: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado; incomplete; Massachusetts, 130; Michigan, 44; Ohio, 78; Oklahoma, 36; Virginia, 20.
The crises assigned for the failure to establish Negro posts in other states are: First, Failure on the part of Negro servants to ask for charters. Second, Failure of the different state landquarters to bring the Negro servants into an established posts. Third, Abandonment of Negro posts into free states.
it is the question. Those who have realize what a puzzling question is due in Europe; although the puzzler tip or not, but as to how much in Europe astip is expected for every real puzzle for the traveller, they will be regarded with scorn and he will need ranks of attendants with disclaim the amount he gives will be so much and expected that he will be looked for who has visited a European hotel having been given any inside in of this statement. There is staying indefinitely in a Paris hotel much or how little to tip the help. In England the question of tipping of choice on the part of the tippee part of the tippee. An incident was world a few days ago to the effect English Summer hotel sent the following note:

It indicates that the hotel helped for strikes and for higher wages to regulate the matter of tips note that there are no standardized expected to tip in accordance with will, of course, be rated higher than raises higher than mere well-to-do matter still more puzzling. Even it not reach the rating which he hasition, the result will be that he will of England, Ireland, Scotland and much blacklisting might be a matter not true. The whole of a person's side a dismal failure by being placed on. We do not think the husband without any tips for people who family. There may be no legal on can be justified, but personally given us efficient and cheerful per-
membership posts. The question of organizing Negro posts in Southern departments has so far been successfully smothered, according to this article.
Several of the race press have referred to General Franklin A. Dennison, recently retired from the Illinois National Guard at his own request with the rank of brigadier general, as "the first colored American with the military rank of general." While this may be technically correct, it recalls the fact, that the late Gen. T. Morris Chester of Louisiana wore his military title rightworthily in the days of Reconstruction. The late Gov. Pinchback referred to his courage as proved by his canvassing the remote parishes of Louisiana for the Republican ticket, when such a mission invited the bullets of the nightriders. His military title was supposed to be in the state militia of Louisiana. As Gen. Chester he wore the title and the uniform abroad when he visited England and Russia.
In noting a present day lack of interest in the Bible, the Star of Zion quoted with approval the saying of a noted Presbyterian preacher, that "the Bible is the most up-to-date book of today." It added:
Sometimes we hear, it said that we should get back to the Bible and back to God. The real summons of the hour is, forward to the Bible, forward to God.
If our problems of state, our disseverences of race, our hypocrisy in religion, our injustice of society, cannot be solved by the truths of Christianity, we are of all men more miserable and our universe is darkened forever.
But we do not despair. We can turn our nation's eyes and hearts to the Word, the races, the states and the interests of all society will be conserved and their problems solved. Capital and labor will meet across the chanm, blacks and whites will shake hands over the graves of the fathers, right shall rule and peace shall predominate and Jesus will have our world for His own dwelling place.
How so bring about this carrying into practice the principles of iron religion in the problem. The time is right for a spiritual revival of worship, the and religious of the Word.
Richmond recently had a theatre actraction entitled "Moonshine" with bootleggers in the cast. Natural drew the attention of the police, a veteran official who passed prison had-to give it a clean bill. Enter the "Moonshine" billed was only a property.

If a colored construction or a colored individual build a million dollar house page mention not be borne vice or money. The white girl a great moulder of sentiment that is the reason for so much ing and prejudice in this county
There is a large amount of truth in this brief indictment. Too many papers devote their front page to sensational news of doubtful authenticity, which serves to aggravate racial tension and inflame old prejudices.
LET'S HOPE NEVER AGAIN.
There is an old theory, that the Negro, will not respond to kindness, must be cowed and intimidated to make him keep his place. The herents of this theory have venomized comment that the present grand investigations in Bibb and Monroe counties are liable to give assurance to lawless class of Negroes and can think they can become offended and commit crime with impunity, and if this is true the less said about recent lynching of the Negroes the better for both the whites and the matter, however expressed by the effect that the Negro as a is the most docile, kindest creature of the human race, and that as a persecuted they are obliging, well-disposed and be better handled with kindness and a treatment than with injustice and Humanity. Not that this applies to Glover, nor his kind, but to the average run-of-mine Negroes, who constitute the great majority.
There is no question but that this large majority of Negroes want peace and law and order, and to be left alone to be allowed to make their living under conditions' set up and controlled by the white people among whom they move and the principal concern is safety and immunity from harm when living up to the prescribed standards.
This is all addition to the law-abiding involved in the recent disorder in which numbers of law-abiding well-behaved innocent Negroes were made the victims of mob passion and violence. The lawless element among the whites broke out for a trotie, as they thought and they had a good tim of it, according to their reckoning of a good time — in the moment. There is another chapter to this feature of the affair, however, and the Grand Juries, representing the real majors of the law, are attending to that with entire satisfaction to the law-abiding citizens of both races. We are not taking into consideration in this particular discussion the outrageous and unnecessary violations of the law of the land, enawed for the protection and benefit of every person, but rather does the discussion turn to the effect upon the better class of Negroes when they see white people runiot.
The Negro who behaves himself and endeavors to make an honest living, take care of his family is a good man, and his rights are not only sacred to him but they should be sacred to every abiding and self-respecting white man in the State. We wish all Negroes and did measure up to this standard, the way to make more of them measure up to it is to put a premium upon good conduct. Every Negro should be mindful to feel that he is safe and immune from imposition or attack as long as he law-abiding, and that he can count on the white people who are all-powerful to see that he is protected. There is no greater fear and distress that can come to the well-behaved Negroes than to think that regardless of what they may do to win the esteem and protection of the white people, that all this may be forgotten and brushed aside in a twinkling on account of the needs of an irresponsible and reckless member of their race, for when that as a whole are no more responsible than the entire white people are or some crest of the white race. The awfulness of the night of terror to Negroes in the strain of the recent outbreak readily be imagined. Many of them were taken into the hermes or the premises of white people who bet them and could vouch for them, and were ready to defend them at any
Such a night should not be paid in Maccon, and now that everyone had time to reflect, the condemnation should be so strong that no law enforcement, constituting only a handful of fails, may have the temerity to matters into their own hands and riot again. We want law-abiding behaved, polite, good Negroes in community and State—we need Their reward should be immunity the possibility of harm—that's to make the highest possible percent of them the desirable kind.

Ingersoll On Federal Control For Lynching
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, distinguished lawyer, needd as a free thinker on religious subjects, was also one of American's strongest and most active supporters of manhood rights for all, without regard to race, color or condition. No cause needing support or worthy charity needing assistance was ever neglected or ignored by Col. Ingersoll.
Forty-ix years ago, Col. Ingersoll, speaking of the right of the government to protect its citizens, uttered the following potent sentiment:
"I stand by the courts. I stand by the President who underscores to preserve the peace. I am against mobs; I am against lynchings; and I believe it is the duty of the Federal government to protect all of its citizens at home and abroad, and I want a government powerful enough to say to the Governor of any state where they are murdering American citizens without process of law—I want the Federal government to say to the Governor of that state: 'Stop; stop shedding the blood of American citizens. And if you cannot stop it we can.'"

In The Realm of Music
By Lucien H. White
Copyrighted Song Titles Used Without Warrant By Producers
Promoters Who Appropriate Attractive, But Protected, Song and Play Captions for Their Plays Are Liable in Law for Literary Piracy
The memory of the late George Walker is so inextricably woven into the façade of race musical history with the song, "Bon Bon Buddy," that the genres of the public, even of a comparatively modern day, at once associate him with accomplishment and popularity with the title.
The death of Gen. Alfred Dodds of the French Army in Paris last month at the age of 64, after having won the highest prize of his profession, afforded a striking contrast to that of Col. Charles Young, denied a similar opportunity in the American army. Gen. Dodds was a native of Senegal, son of a French colonial official of English extraction and a black woman. Nevertheless he had the opportunity to command a victorious army in the field, wore the grand cross of the Legion of Honor and the Medaille Militaire and at the time of his death was one of the principal members of the supreme war council of France. Col. Young, a native American, was kept out of the World War lest he should be advanced to the rank of brigadier general, and after it was over was restored to the active list and sent to Liberia to die, before he should attain the rank his term of service warranted. France does some things the better way.
To make use of the title, therefore, ought prove a shrewd business propensity is done in a legitimate way, with due regard for the rights of others both legal and ethical. And, too, if there is sufficient merit within the present effort to gain and hold the attention and patronage of the theatre-going public.
For it is a question that needs answering as to whether Messrs. Miller, et al., have given proper consideration to this phase of the matter. The song, "Bon Bon Belle," was written by two men—the words by Alex Rogers, and the music by Walt Disney—special for George Walker, then in the hey day of his association with Bert Williams and Ada Overton. And in order that all rights, legal and otherwise, might be conserved, the song and title were duly copyrighted. And in a matter of record, according to Mr. Rogers, that the copyright has not expired.
When published announcements of the forthcoming production were made, it was assumed by those familiar with conditions that the promoters of the new company had secured permission to use the old familiar title made famous by the greatest stage dandy of the race. This was a natural assumption, for the title, copyright as it is, constitutes legal property, and as such is not to be carelessly disposed by anybody who comes along and wants to profit by its euphoniousness.
But the assumption proves not to be well founded. In the Billboard of August 12 on the page conducted by J. A. Jackson, "in the interest of the colored artist and musician of America," there was published "A Pertinent Letter from Alex Rogers," in which Mr. Rogers called attention of persons referred to the fact that he and others possess legal rights in the title, "Bon Bon Bard," that had not been considered, and that a disregard of this fact might lead to legal action as would inevitably operate to the disadvantage of the artists.
Commenting on the statement made by Editor Harry C. Smith of the Cleveland Gazette, that "some fifty Negro spellbinders were hired by his opponents to go up and down the State preaching against him and his candidacy," in the gubernatorial contest in Ohio, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said:
But this very courteous and mildly-tempered letter seems to have had no effect in a telephone conversation this week with Mr. Rogers, he told me he had not heard from the "Bon Bon Buddy, Jr." promoters in any way, except in form. In other words, they have elected, to absolutely ignore the men responsible for originating the striking title they have approved and in so doing they have overlooked the fate of the man who has been by his own petard.
He should not marvel at that. As long as the average Negro who takes to practical politics is as poor as John's turkey, plenty of them will be found to be both mercenary and disgust. It is the way of the hireling and time server everywhere. It should not be forgotten all of the time that as a whole and as a group we are just like the other, races and groups. That puts Shakespeare among the prophets, by the saying, "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin." So it does; but it does not make all the world alike, each being built differently in his way and in his day and generation.
course, it is not for me to predict a probable action by Mr. Rogers and his friends, but it is certainly not out of place for me to suggest that he is immeifiable event of the new show becoming such a financial success as in which Irwin Miller's brother is interested, it will be possible for the "Dun Bon Buddy" copyright to secure substantial returns in proportion of their legal property.
unnecessary. For those who know Alex Rogers know that standing characteristics is his willingness to help a struggling business, the open-hearted, free-handed manner in which he always requests for assistance, either in service, cooperation, or in person. So if the promoters find that their use of some one else's form of a copyrighted title crops up in the future as the "last camel's back," they cannot say that they did not have
This is a philosophical view to take of the situation, politically and other wise.
written by Mr. Rogers contains much of interest, aside from matter, and so I am quoting it in this column. It is as follows:

Many fatal accidents due to the opening of new speedways through the colored section of Richmond caused the St. Luke Herald to ask "Is the life of a Negro worth that of a dog in Old Jackson Ward?" It said:
the papers that some of our very distinguished writing friends

For more than half of a mile through the crowded residential section of the Northside in what is known as Old Jackson Ward, Negro residents have been dispossessed, their homes condemned, and have been forced to other quarters in order to make room for the extension of Chamberlaine avenue from Ginter's Park to West Leigh street. Second street is being ripped up and smooth-paved from Broad street to the First street viaduct that white autoists may make rapid transit backwards and forth from their residences, to the business centers of the city. We colored citizens of these pathways of civic progress and community extension have bowed to the inevitable without a murmur.

which will really operate for the development of the community and the members who compose them. It said among other things:
Our unfortunate girls now have no friends among the women of their own race. They are allowed to shift for themselves, to stumble farther and farther down the social ladder till oblivion engulfs them. They need friends and a protective influence. Women's clubs really consecrated to the cause of uplift and improvement could afford help for them.
Day nurseries, country camps for undernourished children and things of a like nature challenge the attention of those who compose the many clubs which are operating in our city.
The opportunities for service suggested in these organizations should not be neglected, as such service is sadly needed in all large communities.

Columbia, S. C. had a bond issue some time ago of $75,000 for school improvement, which fact prompted the Southern Indicator of that city to ask:
What has become of the Negro's share of that large appropriation, or large sum of money through the bond issue for better school accommodations in the City of Columbia? It can be plainly seen that ample provisions are being made for white pupils, but we can see no hear of anything being done to alleviate the unwholesome and unsanitary congested conditions among Negro pupils. This is a matter to which the attention of those in authority should not have to be called by any member or members of our group. This is a matter to which the eyes and minds of the thinking Negro men and women of Columbia are turned and of which many inquiries are being made.
South Carolina is notoriously backward in the provision of adequate facilities for education, especially for the benefit of colored children. The Indicator added that the "Booker T. Washington High School stands out prominently as a pretty fair building for Negro youth, but when you think of it in the terms of the only building in the city which Negro children can enter in safety it is really a reflection on our best white citizens."
The Detroit Independent which recently appeared printed on pink paper, in the column headed "The Lamp," shed its light on the following case of discrimination:
Colored applicants for positions as motormen with the Detroit Street Railway Commission are complaining about the attitude being displayed by the Commission toward them. Some of the former have openly charged discrimination, and at least one such charge has been placed before the N. A. A. C. P. One applicant, after several ineffectual attempts to get a satisfactory explanation as to why no action had been taken in connection with the application filed by him, informed the writer that he was told by some individual in charge of the office where applications are placed on file that no colored men were being employed, but later some would be taken on. This man said that any number of whites were being given positions as motormen. If such is proven to be the case, then every Negro voter in the City of Detroit should remember this when election time rolls round. Those of us who have not the backbone to fight this thing should be run into the Detroit River.
If municipal control of public utilities is going to work in this way, then it is a failure so far as the Negro is concerned. Detroit city railroads were reported as doing better than this under corporation management.

WITH OUR GIRLS
DEAR GIRLS:
We've all enjoyed a fine summer after having followed in the footsteps of "Pan," and most of us have left the trial to follow various things that claim our attention. I heard a young lady say last week, "The Girl's Colour is the most foolish thing that I've ever read." Granted that we've all a right to our own opinions, still I think that young lady must be very old inside and has forgotten how to laugh. Life is serious as its best and it sometimes needs the froth called foolishness to add a little sunshine and give it color.

There's a little house on miles west of somewhere that's lodged in the center of my heart. It's oh! such a wonderful house, all green and white and just so high. Fairly radiating happiness and good choer, it peeps out laughingly from behind a screen of hemlock and silver pine. The window boxes filled with red geraniums first caught my eye and held it with the warmth and hominis that those flowers have always stood for. Last night my house just seemed as if it were placed in the gateway of heaven when viewed with the red and gold sunset topping the distant mountains in the background. The dying sun filled my windows with gold as day slipped over the edge of the world bathing my house in glory. From my heart

If so, please do not forget us, as we are still in hopes of hearing from you. Girls, we are all waking up for some reason, as I guess the bell rang so loud that we all must of heard it. Stay awake and listen to what the "Mystery Girls" have to say. Enclosed please find twenty-five cents for stamps for 1 month's dues. You're as ever.

Gas in the Stomach is Dangerous
Recommends Daily Use of Magnesia To Overcome Trouble,
Caused by Fermenting
Food and Acid
Indigestion.
Gas and wind in the stomach are
pushed by that full, because feeling quite
painful causes the production of excessive hydrocarbons in the stomach, creating so-called 'acid indigestion.
Most messages are dangerous because
too much and irritant the digestive
of the stomach, often leading to gastro-
oesophagitis, stomach ulcers,
food fermentation and sour taste,
pressing gas which distends the stomach
and harms the normal functions of the
internal organs, often affecting the
heart.
It is the worst of roky to suck such a serious condition or to treat with ornamental remedies. It is best to tralizate effect on the stomach acids, instead get from any drugstick a few ounces of distilled Magnesia and take a teaspoonful of a good potato oil after eating. This will drive the wind and blow right out of the body and into the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and aid the digestion there is no sorbess or pain. Bismuthized Magnesia (in powder or tablet form—because it is hard to handle to the stomach) in magnesium for stomach purposes. It is made by thousands of people who need meals with no more fear of intolerance.

“The colored’ residents of Portsmouth
are not recent comers. Acconling to Miss

Continuing, Dr. Kendall said: "We are struggling and working to utilize for the present but for unknown possibilities for this race of our which must eventually take its place along this of ever races who have fought, lived and prepared. As a race we have no choice in despair when we think of the suffering put through which other peoples and races have passed. Rather than despair let us be mindful of the things which concern us personally. Let us be careful of our contact with reference to our relations the one with the other. Let us more accurately consider and more diligently powder the truth contained in 'As we would that man should do unto you and even so unto Gwen.' Let us engage within ourselves once an effort always this question, and that in. If credible efforts of, for, and by my people are to meet with success it will have to come absolutely and entirely through my people. Each individual must know that the future hope of the children brought into the world, the aims and ambitions of a struggling race depends entirely upon locality to principles for which we are contending and to the amount of cooperation shown to every worthy effort put forth by our own race.
The Custodian's Report.
John L. Webb, supreme custodian of the organization, was recently elected treasurer of the National Negro Business League. His annual report showed that Woodman of Union have assets amounting to $343,000 and that $21,000 has been paid out this year in stock and death claims to members. "Our Organization" said Mr. Webb, "was never in better financial condition than at present" and the members gave frequent evidence of their appreciation of Mr. Webb's service, so the order, committee appointed to review the custodian's report said: "Any organization among any people that can in six years turn a $5,000 deficit into a credit balance of $206,000, and during the same period pay out $61,000 in stock and death claims, is worthy of the confidence and support of the best people everywhere."
"All of that is the work of John L. Webb," said one of the speakers, "for he took charge of the order when it had no money and a more handful of members, and has made it one of the outrading orders of the race."
Dedication of the Hospital.
The Woodmen Hospital and Bath House was completed and began serving the public about three months ago, left the formal, dedication took place Thursday, August 31.
Most of the members of the Order had not seen the building until this week and it was a genuine experience to join the elegantly appointed lobby and watch the delegates march through the building, "chosen by the committee," recognized and elderly "tower" as the passed slowly through the upper hallway turning first to the door and then to the other.
Still another overheard common deserves mention here because it came from a withered old man" who registered from a small town in one of the fresh agricultural* states. The old man was undistinguished wildered at what he saw. Even his noiseless tread upon the junction in the hallway appeared to perplex him and when he seated the second floor and passed through the parlor where a young woman was playing the piano and others were seated nearby in him deepen- shaping and highly upholstered chairs, it was quite much for him.
He glad to see you young folks enjoy themselves" said the withered old man case what I come from dey would let niggers"—a creature of surgedurged pain at that moment with the old man was swept along with the crowd and his sentence timed but its significance was not but some.
After that I watched for the "withered old man" in the audience at the regularized the sessions because of his tensions interested me. At one of the evening sessions some one was praising severely that our race might be saved from mob violence and lynching and I saw the "withered old man" take his red handkerchief from the pocket of his ill-witting court and wipe away the tears.
But to come back to the dedication of the building: The 4800 delegates at a large number of local gatherings in different areas of the city exercised by Rev E. L. Unionon of Fortress Gap, Ark., supreme chaplain of the organization, Dr. E. K. Fountill, supreme president, introduced by L. S. Overall of Littleton Park, Ark. who delivered the dedication address. Rev. Overall said, "We are proud to be able to witness and participate in this dedicatory service which it means not only the form
A celebration of the building has is made the dedication of our organization the sick and afflicted of our community. When we think that our race is over, we years ago, we know that we are told great stories and pride in this building. It represents the subservience of our people and Nero still.

By JAMES R. BOGAN
Since Major Smith, musical instructor, has been among us in the interest in the singing chorus and band has increased, I dare say, quietly per se. The man have taken hold with a vim and enthusiasm that should dispel all doubts as to whether these yeux will be a success or not.
This transformation is due, primarily to the information and advice, that the Major has given the men. He has explained to them that it is neither the idea nor the intention of the company to form these choruses, orchestras and bands for its profit, but for the partners' benefit entirely. He has imparted some things to the men that they never realized before; for instance, this truth: "The white man has supplanted the black in every job or occupation that the Negro thought was exclusively his; such as fighter, jockey, waister, harber, bootblack, etc.
The only occupation that the Negro holds supreme today is yesterday is that of Palmman porter. This is a thought for serious reflection. And he hated that it is up to us to maintain that monopoly. Of course, it should be a known fact to all observing porters that there are white men in the railroad service, such as, bargagemen, traimmen, and others who would change their job over night to be a Palmman porter, if the opportunity were presented.
After spending about two hours in Major Smith's company the thought came to my mind that it would be advantageous to the men and the company would not better results if a man of the major's intelligence and personality were appointed to make the rounds of the different districts and lecture to the men relative to service, etc., instead of the superintendent as now practised. Not that our superintendents are less interested in our welfare or that they fall to give us wholesome advice or instruction in proper service; yet there are some things a sensitive official will not say to his men; and if he did the men would resent it and what was intended as a warning or caution signal would only develop a wreck.
I heard of an incident of that kind: an official, with the best of intentions, attempted to warn his porters against carelessness in service, by pointing out to them that all large employers had dispensed with the services of colored men but the Pullman Company. What was intended as helpful only caused resentment; the men did not relish him telling them that. A man of Major Smith's calibre making that expression would have been accepted on its face value; because he is one of us; this might be due to the fact that this is one of nature's peculiarities.

Virginia Normal Summer School
(School) The New York School
Peterburg, N.Y. The most successful Summer school in the history of Virginia N. and I. Institute was brought to a close on Friday, night. September 1. The multi-three process were graduated from the various departments.
1 by the horn of industry.
Opinions were also expressed concerning the plenied progress of four life insurance companies whose success is due in no small measure to the thieves who as officers, are looting, certain faternal organizations of vast sums of money. It was remarked that enough money was been stolen from faternal organizations during recent years to finance several trust companies whose operations would be of great benefit to the race. Several recent cases were referred to and mention was made of a number of other cases that were neither prosecuted nor given more than local publicity. The effect of this wholesale and unchecked looting of various fraternal has been to emphasize the value and to hold up our well organized, and closely supervised life insurance companies which form the greatest asset of which we can boost as a race.
If other conventions result in much round-table discussions in which intelligent men from every part of the country participate, there is every reason to believe that our group will, within a reasonable time, emerge from the economic shadow and take its place in the Sun.
The address to the graduates was delivered by Dr. Jordan B. Simpson of Virginia Union University. Dr. Gandy presented the diplomas.
The present normal course for teaching in rural schools will be discontinued after December of this year. After that time all persons preparing or teaching must complete the equivalent of a two-year normal course above a four-year high school course.

The 11 o'clock service at Mother Zion Church was attended by the usual congregation, with a typical of the balmy fall season. The devotional exercise preparatory to the preaching service was of an image nature; the native service was furnished by the priest, aroir.
The II o'clock sermon was preached by the pastor Rev. J. W. Brown. He announced his text from Revelations 2:2 "He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear." The speaker was graphic in his words, "He that hath an ear to hear, let words were first uttered and the character and attributes of the people concerning whom these, words were spoken. He stated that in many instances they were, perhaps, to be commended but with all that, the people were nevertheless. I have some weakness against sheer." "Because thou have left thy first love." He pointed out that simply having one's name on the church-roll was not alone sufficient. Unless the soul is in tune with the spirit of the church, there is an intense desire to accomplish the promotion of the cause of righteousness, there is a serious lack in meeting the requirements. It was the meeting of this requirement that the speaker urged upon his hearts. He pointed out that living in the Divine favor, the consolation of a conscience that is at peace with its owner and, the blessed hope of eternal, life in the full enjoyment of the blessings of heaven when life upon this earth shall be no more, the joy of vigor and inspiration and was spiritually enjoyed by all those who gave serious consideration.
