Anderson Has Large Furniture Business
Gained First Commercial Experience As Dealer in Second- Hand Furniture
Race Woman, Mrs. Needles, First to Operate Fur Shop--Has Complete Electrical Equipment of Appliances
Recently Anderson's Furniture Company at 412 Lenox avenue celebrated its tenth anniversary as a business, having been established in May, 1912, at 28 West 135th street. Since its organization this business has been one of the most successful colored businesses in Harlem. It has grown from a small showroom on 135th street into a much larger showroom on Lenox avenue, a basement storeroom in the same building, and a large warehouse at 128th street and Eighth avenue. It has a large patronage of both white and colored, and competes with the other-furniture stores in Harlem on the same terms—offering the same class of furniture on the cash or credit terms used by the other stores in the neighborhood.

The proprietor of this store, Alexander T. Anderson, has had a wide and varied experience which has made him one of the best business men of the race in Harlem. He was born in Philadelphia fifty-two years ago, and began his career as a postoffice clerk in that city. After two years of this work, he came to New York and became the head elevator man for the John Wannamaker stores. He has since been a Pullman porter and a dealer in second-hand furniture. It was in this latter vocation that he gained the experience and ambition to go into the furniture business.
Other Businesses.
Mr. Anderson is married and lives at 455 Leson avenue, His wife, Mrs. Annal L. Anderson, is also well known in business circles, as she conducts one of the largest hair dressing businesses in Harlem. Mrs. Anderson has her own system of hair treatment, which is fast becoming known in dues in all sections of the country.
Another colored business that has recently passed its tenth year is the fur shop of Mme. Gerritude N. Needles, now located at 2202 Seventh avenue. When Mme. Needles first established her business her only equipment was a fur machine and she conducted the entire business alone. She now has the latest electrical appliances for her work, and during the fur seasons employs seven people. She has also trained a number of colored girls in the fur trade and afterwards assisted them in securing wives.
Mme. Needles learned the fur business in Philadelphia a number of years ago, and before entering business for herself she employed eight years by a wholesale fur establishment downtown. There she made many friends among the customers of this establishment, mainly of whom became her customers when she entered business for herself.

conducted by women in Harlem in the Blue Bell Corset Shop at 2374 Seventh avenue, which was opened a year ago by Mme. Ivy. It is the only business of its kind operated by a colored corseitre in New York. Her business comprises a neat salesroom and factory, where all of the corseits she sells are made to order. She also sells silk stockings and silk lingerie for women. Her trade is mostly recommended, and has been rapidly increasing in the past few months. Mme. Ivy is well equipped in training and experience for this business, having learned to make corseits with a white firm fifteen years ago. She has had wide experience in various factories of this kind; and in her own business does work of as high a quality as can be obtained anywhere.
Recently a part of the store space at 2374 Seventh avenue was rented to James Bridges, who is now conducting a fur establishment here. Uphillie Mme. Mynden, M.B., has been hired to make or repair fur birds of fur from a well known downtown establishment. All of the individual businesses are conducted in a first class manner and should receive the support of all who wish to see colored business in Harlem grow.

On the evening of Tuesday, October 3, United States Senator William M., Calder of Brooklyn was formally notified of his renomination as a candidate to succeed himself in the Senate, the result of the balloting at the State Republican Convention held at Albany, N. Y., on September 28, the notification ceremony being held at Cooper Union, 14th street.

Ralph Rodriguez, of 2302 Seventh Avenue, is a Porto Rican and Israel Robbins of 18 East 105th street, is a Hebrew, but in the matter of financial account the brother from the island in the South Atlantic put it all over the exile from Jerusalem. Robbins put $800 in the cigar business operated at 169 West 131st street, in the Lafayette Theatre building, and another financier of Hebrew persuasion, Benjamin Bloch, of 119 West 111th street, put up $700. Rodriguez put up his share of the capital in the form of "experience."
But although he put in no cash, it was the Porto Rican who controlled the business, as the two Jerusalemites signed over control of affairs to their swarthy partner.
Seeking for further power and emalment, Rodriguez, it is alleged, conspired with Bloch to freeze out Robbins, notwithstanding that the latter had put up the larger share of cash. This did not suit Israel at all, and after a lengthy discussion with his partners, which lasted until 1:30 Tuesday morning, he lost control of his temper and proceeded to force a settlement with the aid of a dandy little 25-calibre automatic pistol.
When Officer Cannon, shield 4952, of the 30th Precinct, arrived on the scene, Robbins was stretched out on the floor under a table, apparently unconscious, while Bloch had commanded an automobile and rushed Rodriguez to the hospital under the impression that two shots fired by the irate Robbins had penetrated the Porto Rican's anatomy.
But investigation by the police officer revealed that Robbins was feigning, in an attempt to shift responsibility, for use of the firearm, while at the hospital the doctors and nurses discovered that Rodriguez had only a few slight abrasions on his face, caused, probably, by falling when he successfully dodged the bullets ejected from the gun in Israel's hand.

The renomination of Senator Calder was one of the most popular acts of the convention. The Brooklyn man has made a splendidly consistent record in the Senate, and has become, in the short time of his Senatorial service, one of the outstanding figures in public life. He is cordially and earnestly supported by colored Republicans and he has proved by systematic work in behalf of the race that he has at heart the Negro's interest. He was one of the strongest opponents of separate schools in New York City, and was a potent factor in bringing about the present system of mixed public schools. He has given pledges, publicly and privately, of his approval of the Dyer Anti Lynching Bill, left unacted upon by the Senate after being passed by the House; during the recent session of Congress. He was primarily responsible for the appointment of Attorney J. C. Hawkins to his present responsible position as counsel to the United States Shipping Board, and he has been instrumental in innumerable appointments of colored men to positions in the various federal departments.
Senator Calder has worked long and enthusiastically for the creation of an additional internal revenue district in the

Harlem Residents Are Libelled In Opinions Held By Officials
Charge Is Made That Attaches of District Attorney's Office Consider Entire Race To Be Vicious, Immoral and Degraded
Conditions Arising From Wide Sale of Hooch in Harlem, With Flagrant Violations of Prohibition Law, Indicate Connivance of Enforcement Officials—Are Sellers Protected?
There is no lessening of the flow of illicit hooch in the Harlem district, but on the contrary additional dispensaries are being opened where the hooch-hunting Harlemite can supply his wants. What was recently a vegetable stand at corner of Seventh avenue and 138th street, where the succulent yam was served to the neighborhood potato lovers has been changed. The yam has been relegated to a small space on the side, while an ornate and attractive entrance on Seventh avenue marks the opening portals to what is denominated as a cafe.
Speculation as to whether or not the Federal prohibition agents are able or willing to stop the sale of booze was stirred considerably last week when it was announced that Ralph A. Day, federal prohibition director of the State of New York, had sent in his resignation. Coincident with this announcement was issued a statement that six local enforcement agents had been suspended and Mr. Day said later that two more would probably be added to the list.
In just what localities these suspended agents had worked was not stated, but it is reasonable to presume that they, at some time or other, had been in the Harlem district. However that may be, say those who are informed as to present conditions in the hooch situation, the federal local enforcement agents are not measuring up to the situation.
Evidence on His Breath.
A member of The Age staff was talking to one of the newly-appointed enforcement agents recently, and the agent breathed so evident of the hooch being dispersed to freely in Harlem. In reply as to a question as to why he drank the stuff, he replied that it was his duty as an agent to test the liquors served in order that it might be classified correctly as hooch. But what value as evidence would attach to whiskey inside his stomach the agent did not explain.
Another angle of the local enforcement agent situation is that many are of the opinion that there is a direct connection between the laxity of activity on part of the agents and the influence wielded by certain political interests.
And the resignation of Federal Prohibition Director Day coming just at this time is alleged to give point to some of these speculative surmises and to point significantly to important developments at an early date.
A prominent white lawyer, talking to the editor of The Age, asked the question, "What sort of folks have you up in Harlem?" When asked as to the reason for asking so surprising a question, the lawyer declared with serious and earnest force that a recent conversation with members of the staff of the District Attorney of New York County disclosed the fact that these men held opinions to the effect that all Negroes in Harlem were vicious, immoral and degraded. This opinion, the attorney said, was probably based upon the condition that members of the District Attorney's office staff came in contact with only the underworld element.

Three colored children, Harold and Dorothy Dixon, who are twins, four years old, and Albert Abbott, three, all three of them Negroes, were alone in an apartment on the top floor of a five-story house at 318 West Fifty-ninth street October 6, when a fire started in one of the rooms.
Other tenants rushed to the street without thought of the children and it was not until the fires were heard by those in the floor below that their plight was recognized. By that time the smoke on the top floor was so thick that rescue-seemed impossible. But found the door locked and was unable to break it down before the smoke forced him back.

Says Her Utterances at Detroit Meeting Were Mis understood-Does Not Believe in Segregation in Libraries by Race or Color
In its issue of September 30, The Age called attention editorially to an account of the annual conference of the American Library Association held in Detroit, in which the proceedings included a rout table meeting on work with Negroes. Interest attached to this round table meeting because of the fact that Miss Ernestine Rose, branch librarian of the New York Public Library, West 135th street branch, presided, and because from the report published in the Library Journal, official organ of the association, race segregation in northern libraries was somewhat definitely indicated.
Miss Rose was quoted in the official report as saying: "In New York at 135th street branch is the only one at present having colored assistants, although other branches are in large growing Negro centers. It is a question whether it should be made a colored branch or whether colored assistants should be put in other branches. Segregation will be a large problem for the North to solve, although it is not yet realized in most quarters. Legally, colored and white are on the same ground, but in many cases there is not a real feeling of equality in the library."
Commenting editorially, The Age declared that "Miss Rose is laboring under a mistake if she thinks that New York or the North is apprehaching and such problem in libraries as least, as there is in the South. * * * She is the librarian of one of the branches of the Public Library of New York City, a branch in a part of the city where there are large numbers of colored citizens; but this branch is in no sense a colored branch. It is a public library largely patronized by colored citizens."
federal local enforcement agents are not measuring up to' the situation.
A member of The Age staff was talking to one of the newly-appointed enforcement agents recently, and the agent's breath was so redolent of the hooch being dispensed so freely in Harlem. In reply as to a question as to why he drank the stuff, he replied that it was his duty as an agent test the liquors served in order that it might be classified correctly as hooch.

And the resignation of Federal Prohibition Director Day coming just as this time is alleged to give point to some of these speculative surmises and to-point significantly to important developments at an early date.
A prominent white lawyer, talking to the editor of The Age, asked the question, "What sort of folks have you up in Harlem?" When asked as to the reason for asking so surprising a question, the lawyer declared with serious and earnest force that a recent conversation with members of the staff of the District Attorney of New York County disclosed the fact that these men held opinions to the effect that all Negroes in Harlem were vicious, immoral and degraded. This opinion, the attorney said, was probably based upon the condition that members of the District Attorney's office staff came in contact with only the underworld element.
Decent Element Is Wronged.
When informed, however, that a number of the race's leading lawyers had at various times been connected with the District Attorney's office as members of the staff, and that one was assistant district attorney at the present time, he expressed surprise that these race representatives had not taken opportunity to disbuse the minds of their broader attorneys as so the entitled and charismaticities of the system. The attorney was advanced, in this commission, that perhaps the hooch situation in Harlem was attributable, to some degree, to a feeling on part of certain officials that the Harlem Negro has a different standard of conduct from other New York citizens. The Age editor pointed out the error in this conclusion. As a matter of fact, people from other sections of the Borough, passing through the streets of Harlem, make frequent and favorable comment upon the appearance and behaviors of cooled people. Deputy Inspector McGrath, formerly the captain commanding 38th Precinct, noted some time ago that an important holiday passed without a single arrest being made by policemen attached to the West 135th street station house. And, he added, there were many other days when the same fact obtained.
Another condition to which attention has been called, and which has a direct concession with the question, is that colored tenants, coming to the Harlem section and displacing former white tenants, have found the houses in dilapidated and unsanitary condition. But since being occupied by colored tenants these houses have been put into good shape, the streets are kept cleaner and there has been a general enhancement of realty values, without regard to the enormous increases in rental charges in recent years.
Are Hoochi Sellers Protected?
The wide open manner in which illicit dealing in whiskey is being carried on in Harlem indicates that there must be some hidden influence in operation which serves to afford protection and immunity to those engaged. One opinion advanced is to the effect that the Tammany Hall powers are always inclined to leniency with regard to acts of the underworld—that is, that the controlling powers depend to a greater or less extent upon members of the criminal ranks to sway and control certain suffrage elements. And that since there is a feeling that Harlem's population is of a deprived class there must be a greater latitude given, accompanied with more laxity in administering the laws, than in other sections of the city.
The large and important group made up of the decent, law-abiding citizens of Harlem, numbering ten to one as compared with the vicious group, disagrees most emphatically with this attitude. There is an insistent demand that the laws as laid down by city, state and national governments be rigidly and honestly enforced, without regard to political or any other historical influence.
But in the meantime, Harlem is being made the stamping ground for what appears to be a syndicate of illicit handlers of hooch in its various grades, which takes out of the neighborhood thousands of dollars every day. The big most controlling these syndicates are not Harlemites.
One man known to his families no "Chief," proprietor of several malt pro- lora, where the chief article dispersed is an alleged "corn" whiskey at 75 cents ("six bits") the high plent, does not live in Harlem, may do he serve personally at any of the several parlors he operates. He drives Loom avenue to a point on the block below his "malt" pub.

with his wife, daughter and chauffeur in the car. Leaving his family and employees in the big, powerful and expensive machine, he looks it in the most unobtrusive way up to the next block and quietly ooses into his place. He remains always just a few minutes—long enough to secure the goodly sum accruing from a day's sale of hooch, then he, as quietly as before, strolls back to this auto and is driven on to the next parlor where the range program is carried out. Members of other syndicates have other methods of procedure, but the final action is the same in all cases; taking out of Harlem every day the large sums received over the various counters in exchange for the drinks, four-ounce and eight-ounce vials of the awful stuff sold to Harlem drinkers under the general label of "booze."
SCHOOL CONGESTION REMEDIED IN N. O.
Colored Citizens Form Organization To Better School Conditions and Get Prompt Results From School Authorities
(By V. P. THOMAS).
New Orleans, La.-Business, professional and other substantial men and women of the race in the city, feeling that something on their part had to be done without delay if the conditions under which their children were to attend the public schools were to be made better, formed an organization from a mass meeting held in the colored Pythian Temple Thursday night, September 21, made up a strong committee to take up the matter with the school authorities and as a result got remembrances for the causes of some of the complaints in less than twenty-four hours after the school authorities heard them.
McDonough 35 High School was trying to care for over two hundred pupils in grades 7 and 8, necessitating half-day work for both these grades and the high school pupils, and consequently lengthening by this loss of time the work of completing the prescribed courses. This completion has obtained ever since the beginning of the school term in 1921.
A petition presented early last year requesting that this deplorable handicap be removed, for lack of proper pressure, remained like dead in the school board office, and the school opened and began operation again this year under the same deplorable conditions, only aggravated by a largely increased enrollment.
Seeing the conditions and forgetting all about the petition, the committee of the new organization went to the school board officials and asked for immediate remedy, and found these officials not only glad to hear the complaints but ready to remedy the conditions at once, and the very next morning at 9 o'clock members of the committee and the supervisor of colored public schools went together and effected arrangements for relief of the conditions at McDonogh No. 35 High School to take effect the same day.
The committee was assured that the active interest taken by the colored citizens in the schools was appreciated and received with welcome by every member of the school board, and it was further assured that if the new organization formed on September 21, would continue its activity, plans drawn by the school board for the betterment of the schools and the school system of the city would get the support needed to put them over and much accomplished. Some of the things on the constructive program mapped out by the school authorities for the system were named and the information imparted was gratifying to the committee.
Those of the race who had been talking at "the big gate" about things needed to be done to better conditions and about the shame it was that the colored children of the city were receiving so little consideration at hands of the school authorities, and who, by the way, had stayed away from the Thursday night mass-meeting fearing that something might be said offensive to the school board, are talking louder about what "we did" than those who took part in it. They did not see how a big meeting of the kind could be held and nothing offensive said where so many were reckoned wholly wrong. Dr. George W. Lucas called the meet-likely to have something to say, but they reckoned wholly wrong.
Dr. George W. Lucas called the meeting and the call was responded to by many of the most substantial people of the race in the city. At this meeting he stated his object in calling it and invited a number of leading citizens to the platform, from which those called on to have something to say, spoke. Not one of those who spoke seemed to have any thought even of saying anything offensive. All seemed to feel that the deplorable conditions complained of arose from the Shamehul lack of active interest the colored people themselves had shown in the public schools, and that if colored people would wake up and busy themselves for better conditions the gentlemen of the school board would meet them half way and hear them.
Dr. Lucas was empowered by the meeting to appoint the committee that was to see the school board. He named the following well-known citizens: H. E. Braden, mr. A. L. Moss, W. L. Cohen, James E. Gayle, Rev. J. F. Robinson, Rev. Wittenberg, Mrs. Louise Ross, Mrs. L. Smith, Alexander Pajer, Mrs. E. Wells, E. O. Moss, Mrs. Anna Maxwell, Dr. L. B. Landry, Rev. J. L. Burrell and T. R. Gallibreth.
Dr. Lucas and Mr. Braden went to Doy, the supervisor of colored schools, Ames C. Harris, to appoint a day for the committee to see the board and told him what they wanted to see the board about. Mr. Harris saw the chief superintendent of schools, Mr. Gwinn, and told him of the presence in the office of Dr. Lucas and Mr. Braden and what they were there for. Mr. Gwinn told Mr. Hastia to go and give the visitors who asked for and without further info arrangements were made for the immediate relief of the overcrowded condition of things in McDonogh No. 85 High School and for other things

nations have taken large bites, and as the great question mark of the new world relationships. I prefer the latter anatology. Africa is indeed rich beyond the dreams of avarice in the raw materials so needed for the rebuilding of international commerce and prosperity, but it is also peopled by millions of the darker-colored races who are feeling the stir of the world currents let loose by the war, who sent hundreds of thousands of their men to the battle line in Europe, and whose future development is bound to have a pronounced and a fairly immediate effect upon the world's organization.
Whether Africa is to produce further discord between the peoples of the earth or whether it is going to participate in a greater and more worthwhile civilization, depends upon the policy of the white races toward her latent peoples. Contacts between the native blacks and the whites of Europe have already been established. These contacts so far have had all the advantages and the disadvantages of the pioneer spirit, whether in statesmanship, in commerce or in missionary endeavor. The initiative still remains with the whites who must make the choice between a narrow development of their own selfish ends and a policy of intelligent cooperation to bring out the latent possibilities of the native peoples.

"In assuming that the latter choice will prevail, the problem immediately arises as to what intelligent cooperation means in relation to backward peoples. Here we are most fortunate in having the report of a commission of American, African and European experts who recently spent ten months and travelled 25,000 miles in Africa to study the religious and educational activities conducted both by the great missionary organizations of the United States and Europe and by the colonial administrations of the powers having possessions and protectorates in Africa. This report, which will be shortly published, has been written by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, who headed the African Education Commission and whose twenty years of devoted consecration to the improvement of educational advantages for the Negroes of the United States has made him one of the greatest authorities on interracial cooperation and educational adaptation. It is significant of the coming charges in European policy toward the African natives, that questions asked by Dr. Jones and his colleagues in the course of their investigation in the field have already awakened colonial officials and the chamber of commerce organized by the white traders to a new attitude toward the natives with whom they are dealing.
"Although interest in Africa has so far been restricted largely to the nations of Europe which have had colonies and concessions there for many years, the United States is beginning to share in that interest, both because of Africa's influence on international affairs and because its vast commercial potentialities.
America's Interest in Liberia
"At the same time we have one special stake in Africa which dates back a full century, and that is in the future of the Republic of Liberia which was founded by American Negroes and which has patterned its government on our own. Because of the dislocation of trade brought about by Liberia's declaration of war against Germany, her most important customer before the war, this little Republic is in acute need of financial assistance and in asking her big sister republic for aid has asked for the cooperation of American experts in the administration of the loan and the reorganization of the country's financial machinery.
"The amount required is $5,000,000 and the entire credit of the country is pledged for its repayment. It is a small sum for our great country to lend, but it will be of immense value not only in putting Liberia on its feet but also in providing America with the opportunity to make a most practical contribution to developing the right sort of cooperation between the white peoples and the natives of Africa. The granting of this loan has already been approved by the House of Representatives and was discussed in the Senate where no action was taken before adjournment. It is the sincere wish of all thoughtful American Negroes and of the white people who are interested in promoting cooperation between the races, that the Senate

had for its object the taking of Terrell away from the officers and lynching him. The attempt failed, as Adjutant General Hartley Moon ordered out the National Guard to defend the prison.
Rev. Stokes, accompanied by a young insurance collector, made a business trip to Snowdoun, Ala., and enroute were met by the mob of whites. Without parley the two colored men were ordered to hold up their hands, and almost immediately some one in the crowd began firing. Rev. Stokes was struck in the head and seriously wounded, while the young man with him was also hurt.
As is usually the case, innocent Negroes were made the objects of attack by crowds of whites in various sections of the city, several being pulled from street cars in the downtown section.
At the jail, the officers turned the fire hose on the crowd, to make them disperse, and the mob retaliated by opening fire. Several white men were wounded and one was knocked in the head by a policeman. Besides Rev. Stokes, the only Negro shot was Edward Pearl, who was found laying on the sidewalk on North Lawrence street, near the office of the Montgomery "Times." The troops guarding the jail did not return the firing of the mob, which continued until Herbert Miller, a white man, was wounded in the groin.

RACIAL COMMISSION
MAKING STRONG FIGHT
Georgia Organization Is Waging
Vigorous Campaign Against
Mob Law and for Passage
of An Effective Anti-
Lynching Law.
Atlanta, Ga.—The Georgia Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, under the leadership of Dr. T. J. Wolfter, is waging a vigorous campaign against mob violence and injustice, and for the development of a public sentiment that will insure the protection of the life and property of every citizen, irrespective of color.
Governor Dorsey's astounding exhibit of lynchings and other injustices was published and widely circulated by the Commission and created a profound impression. The Commission has drafted and is working hard for the enactment of an effective anti-lynch law.
Meantime many cases of mob violence and injustice have been investigated by the Commission and legal aid has been extended in a number. Among the latter may be mentioned the notorious Williams "murder farm" case, which the Commission helped to prosecute and in which convictions were secured; the case of Tom Parks, whose farm was saved from fraudulent foreclosure; the release of a Negro boy who was held in service without pay and brutally treated; the case of Asbury McClusky, now pending, in which a mob attacked McClusky's home, wounded him, and tried to drive him from the community. The Commission has identified members of this mob and filed a $50,000 damage suit against them.
It is notable that in two recent lynchings indictments have been returned, and in one of them convictions have been secured. Some of the best legal talent in Georgia is giving every possible aid to the Commission.

(Special to The New York Age).
Newark, N. J.—Congressman R. Wayne Parker of the Ninth Congressional District, who voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, was reminended in the recent Republican primaries. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the colored voters of the Ninth district made tremendous effort to bring about the defeat of Parker; who was opposed in the primaries by Frank E. Davenport, formerly chairman of the Republican County Committee, and by William B. Brandon, a young colored lawyer of Newark.
The combined vote of Davenport and Brandon equalled the vote given to Parker. It was considered by all that the candidacy of Mr. Brandon was ill advised, for it was practically impossible to nominate him under any conditions, and it is generally agreed that the en-

tire vote that he received would have been given to Parker's opponent, Mr. Davenport. The colored voters of the Ninth District were particularly anxious to defeat Parker, and realized that his chances were enhanced by Brandon's candidacy. Prominent leaders of the race took an uncompromising stand against Brandon, but the appeal to race consciousness was strong enough to give him 1,500 votes. Many others intended for him were lost through faulty marking of ballots.
It is deemed by many that Parker's candidacy, is unfortunate, for it means that the colored voters, rather than return to Congress an opponent of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, will support the Democratic candidate, Daniel Minaian, who was formerly mayor of Orange, and whose term of office was marked by his extrepee friendliness for the colored citizens of Orange.

RENOVING. RACIAL PRICTION.
After the Chicago race riots of 1919 in which fifteen whites and twenty-three Negroes were killed, Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois appointed a Commission on Race Relations "in study and report upon the broad question of the relations between the two races." This commission consisted of twelve members, six from each race, as follows: Representing the white people; Edgar A. Bancroft, William Scott Bond, Edward Ogood Brown, Harry Eugene Kelly, Victor F. Lawson, Julius Rosenwald. Representing the Negro people: Robert S. Abbott, George Cleveland Hall, George H. Jackson, Edward H. Morris, Adelbert H. Roberts, Lacey Kirk Williams. The personnel of the commission on both sides was of such high-character as to command respect and confidence in its investigation and conclusions.
The report of the commission, which was recently published in pamphlet form, shows a thorough investigation not only of the facts of the rioting and the causes which led up to it, but of the general conditions affecting the relations of the races in Chicago and the specific reasons which lie at the root of these conditions. As the conditions existing in Chicago do not differ in any great degree, from those in other large cities, which have received a large influx of Negro migration within the past decade, the lesson to be drawn from this report are of wide application and should be of value to all students of social conditions.
Former Governor Lowden, in his forceword to the report, insisted that the problem of the relations of the two races will not be solved by methods of violence. Means must be found whereby they can live together on terms of amity, and this will be possible only if they are brought to understand each other better. In this report no new formula is discovered by which all race trouble will disappear, but certain facts are stated, the mere recognition of which, Gov. Lowden says, "will go a long way toward allaying race feeling." The report also contains certain recommendations, which if acted upon, in the opinion of the former, Governor, "will make impossible a repetition of the appalling tragedy which brought disgrace to Chicago."
These recommendations embodied detailed plans for the courts and police and State authorities to deal with rotting; the ridding from Negro residence areas of vice resorts; control of the sale and possession of firearms; police supervision of so-called "athletic clubs"; the tazing of all houses unfit for human habitation in Negro residence areas; and end of the discrimination which bars Negroes from certain recreation centers and an adequate recreation center to be established; increase of elementary school accommodations, establishment of night schools and community centers. A notable expression addressed to the
A notable expression addressed to the public read as follows:
"We are convinced in our inquiry: (a) that measures involving or approaching deportation or negotiation are illegal, impracticable and cannot solve, but would accentuate, the race problem and postpone its just and orderly solution by the process of adjustment; (b) that the moral responsibility for race rioting does not rest upon hoodlums alone, but also upon all citizens, white or black, who sanction force or violence in interracial relations or who do not condemn and combat the spirit of racial hatred thus expressed; (c) that race friction and antagonism are largely due to the fact that each race toon readily misunderstands and misinterprets the other's conduct and aspirations.
"We therefore urge upon all citizens, white and Negro, active opposition to the employment of force or violence in interracial relations and to the spirit of antagonism and hatred. We recommend dispassionate, intelligent, and sympathetic consideration of each race of the other's needs and aims.
"We warn both whites and blacks against the acceptance or circulation by either of reports about the other whose truth has not been fully established. We urge all citizens, white or Negro, diligently to oppose all propaganda of malicious or selfish origm.
"We recommend race contacts in cultural and cooperative efforts as strengthening strongly to mutual understanding and the promotion of good race relations.
"We condemn the provocation or fostering of race antagonism by associations or organizations ostensibly founded or conducted for purposes of patriotism or local improvements or the like.
We recommend as of special time
portance that a permanent local body representing both "races" be charged with investigating situations lively to produce caches with collecting and disseminating information tending to preserve the peace and allay unfounded fears, with bringing sound public sentiment to bear upon the settlement of racial disputes, and with promoting the spirit of interracial tolerance and cooperation.
"We condemn and urge the discontinuance of the practice of property owners who arbitrarily advance rents merely because Negroes become tenants.
The following recommendations were addressed particularly to the members of the race:
"We recommend to Negroes the promulgation of sound racial doctrines among the uneducated members of their group and the discouragement of propaganda and agitators seeking to inflame racial animosity and incite Negroes to violence.
"We urge Negroes to contribute more freely of their money and personal effort to the social agencies developed by public spirited members of their group; also to contribute to the general social agencies of the community.
"We point out as injustice and a cause of racial antagonism the practice of some employers in hiring Negroes as strikebreakers and discharging them when the strike is settled in order to permit the return of former white employees. We find that the employment of Negro girls at a smaller wage than white girls is a cause of racial antagonism.
"We strongly condemn the efforts of self-seeking agitators, Negro or white, who use race sentiment to establish separate unions in trades where existing unions admit. Negroes to equal membership with whites.
"We recommend that Negroes completely abandon the practice of seeking petty advance payments in wages and the practice of laying off work without cause.
"We recommend that Negroes avail themselves wherever possible of opportunities in apprentice schools or classes."
Nearly all these recommendations are of general application and are in line with the policy outlined by THE ACE and other organs or race opinion. It is gratifying to find a mixed commission of this character agreeing in principle on so many points of vital importance in bringing about better race relations and removing causes of friction. It now remains for the press of both races to enlist public opinion in support of the conclusions of this commission.

FIRST WOMAN SENATOR.
It was a queer freak of circumstances that gave the State of Georgia the distinction of naming the first woman as a member of the United States Senate. It was queerer still that Governor Hardwick should have been the prime factor in making that appointment. Of course it was merely a grand gesture on the part of the Governor, intended to please the women voters and to keep the road clear for his own campaign for the Senate. If he had gained any one of the male eligibles to the position, he might have found it difficult to get him to retire. The appointment of Mrs. Felton, at the age of 87 years, involved no such risk. Mrs. Felton's qualifications to fitly represent the State of Georgia in the Senate were indicated by a special to the New York World, dated at Savannah. It read:
"Twenty years ago Mrs. W. H. Felton Senator designated from Georgia, spoke at the convention of the State Agricultural Society held in Savannah. She read a paper on conditions in Georgia and included in it an expression very much like this: "I am a law abiding woman. I believe in maintaining law and order. I believe in trial by jury; I believe in the courts; I believe in allegiance to the constituted authority, but I say to you men of Georgia that when a black man commits an unspeakable wrong against a white woman in this State, we women want you to lynch and lynch quickly."
The utterance stirred not only the State but the Nation.
How about the unspeakable wrongs committed to the white men in Georgia against black women of that state. Had Mrs. Felton no words of condemnation for these white offenders? Was it the enormity of the crime against womenhood or only the color of the offender that provoked Mrs. Felton's outburge? Not so long ago two white men in a remote part of Georgia sought to break in a house to attack two young colored girls. Then cries for help aroused an aged Negro neighbor, who came to their rescue with his gun and shet the intruder. A mob of white men launched this brave old man, who presented the attack on these two girls of his race. Did Mrs. Felton sympathize with the protector of womanhood or with the mob that murdered him?
Does Mrs. Felton still feel after twenty years of lynching in Georgia that womanhood is any better protected than if the law had been allowed to take its due course? Does she not realize that her alleged advocacy of lynching for one crime has bed a mob lust for murder that has put Georgia outside the pale of civilization? If Mrs. Felton considers these questions, in the light of her age and her experience, we see that in the unlikely event of her actually entering the Senate, she probably would vote for the Dyer bill. By so doing she would serve the best interests of her state and help preserve its citizens from stepping themselves further in the blood last of mob violence.

so far I am writing to ask you to please

Several weeks ago we promised our readers that we would take an occasional opportunity to say something about worth while books. In our discussion of books we shall talk about them from two points of view. We shall consider books in the light of their universal value and also in the light of their special value to the American Negro as a struggling minority group. Here we repeat again that one of the most discouraging handicaps of the Negro in the United States is his appalling ignorance of books, his appalling ignorance of what is going on in the world of thought. In fact, by a large majority he is on the outside of the world of thought. A great part of the time he does not really know what it is all about.
Yet, after all, it is encouraging to note that this condition is improving. Within the past five or six years a great many Negroes have learned to read Negro newspapers at least. Ten or fifteen years ago the masses had not begun to read the colored newspapers and there were a great many educated colored people who thought it a sign of belonging to a sort of intellegensia to say that they did not read Negro newspapers. Today hundreds of thousands of Negroes are reading their own newspapers and are gaining an increasing consciousness of what the race is doing and what the race is thinking. An amazing evidence of this is the united opinion regarding the Anti-Lynching Bill now before Congress, an opinion largely wrought through the work of the colored newspapers.
But, situated as we are, we must not only know what we as a race are doing and thinking, we must also know what the other fellow is doing and thinking, especially what he is thinking. This knowledge can be obtained only through the proper sort of reading.
At some other time we shall speak of the white periodicals of opinion which should be read as well as the Negro periodicals in order to get a full view of current events and their significances. We shall also take up considerable space regarding books written by and about Negroes. But we shall begin by taking up books in their universal light.
Here is a letter recently received from a young man who read our article of several weeks ago.
My dear Mr. Johnson:
"I am a constant reel York. And was very time to time, a review of I am one of the many about books which we all this condition that I am of some of these books."
An answer to this y people who realize the improve themselves. Easy how to read and language.

An answer to this young man's letter will fit a large number of people who realize that their knowledge is limited and who wish to improve themselves. We are, of course, writing for people who already how to read and have a fair comprehension of the English language.
To begin with, reading is a habit which must be cultivated by most people. The average person, in reading a book which contains actual knowledge, will find that its is often difficult to get through even a couple of pages without having the mind run off somewhere else. It is necessary for such people actually to take the mind by the scruff of the neck, snatch it back and set it down and make it understand that it has got to stick to the job in hand. After this has been done a number of times the mind, just as would a truant child, will realize that it must keep school.
And now for the first book to begin with. The first book I advise anyone who has decided to take up reading worth while books to buy is the very best dictionary of the English language that he can afford.

EXCLUSION IN OUR UNIVERSITIES
What is coming over the universities of this great democracy, this land in which a popular education is supposed to be one of the foundation stones of its security and greatness? Harvard University has deemed it necessary to place arbitrary restrictions upon the privilege of entering her portals; that is, she has placed exclusive hars up against men on account of race.
And now comes along President Hopkins of old Darmouth with a still more exclusive policy. His statement is that entirely too many men go to college anyhow. The Harvard policy seeks to reduce the number of Jewish and colored students, but President Hopkins is in favor of the policy of excluding a large part of the regular white variety of American student.
Dr. Hopkins says that if democracy is to be preserved it must be a "quality product rather than simply a quantity one." He feels, therefore, that men who are "incapable of profiting by the advantages which the college offers, or indisposed to do so, shall not be with drawn from useful work to spend their time profitlessly, in idleness acquiring false standards of living." He feels, too, that on the other hand, "the contribution which the college is capable of making to the lives of competent men and through them to society, shall not be lessened by the slackening of peace due to the presence of men indifferent and wanting in capacity."
This is dangerous ground on which to build democratic ideals. Who is able to judge which students are capable and worthy of taking a university education. Who can tell before he gets it what this or that man will do with a college education. We have it of record that some of the most useless students have become most useful men. Undoubtedly many of our colleges are being taxed beyond their capacities and there must be a selection of the fittest for the advantages which they have to offer, but this selection should not be based on any grounds of race or color or upon the fallible judgments of any Board or Committee as to which students are worthy of these advantages. The only wise method will be to raise the qualifications, raise them as, high as necessary, but let them apply equally and impartially to all men, white or black. Gentile or Jew, classes or masters, rich or poor.

Six years ago we wrote a novel in which we made one of the characters say that colored writers in the United States took the Negro question too seriously. Such a statement naturally sounds paradoxical but there is a great deal of truth in it. The statement does not mean that colored writers should not be serious about so serious a question but that sometimes instead of employing methods or argument or denunciation they should make use of ridicule and satire.
There are a number of phases of the race question which are so absurd that they cannot be effectively treated except in a satirical manner. What is the use of arguing with, or even denouncing an ignorant, bigoted, Negro-burning, low white of Terms who believes more firmly than he does in his solution that he is insulted.

superior, not only to all colored men but even to all such foreign whites as Frenchmen and Dagoes, etc. The only thing to do is to make him feel that you laugh at his pretensions to superiority and that so far as you individually are concerned, he is a low-browed, uncultivated, un-Christianized savage, in fact, a cruel joke on civilization.
Such phases of the race question offer a great field for some colored writer who could employ the methods used by H. L. Mencken in attacking the various foliages of civilization in general and of the American people in particular.
An amusing piece of this style of writing was in the September issue of the "Smart Set." It is entitled "The Yellow Hope" and is written by Edward B. Paramore. Mr. Paramore's style is very similar to Mr. Mencken's.
The article gives the opinions of some fictitious "native son" of California who has thrown aside his anti-Japanese prejudices and come to the conclusion that the only way to save the United States is to turn it over to the Japanese for them to rule.
The writer of the article lays bare many of the foibles of America. We are tempted to make quotations from the article, but we feel that the only way to enjoy it is to read it.
RECENT PUBLICATIONS.
RECENT PUBLICATIONS.
Among recent publications devoted to the discussion of the race question in the United States are two volumes of more than passing interest, published jointly by the Council of Women for Home Missions and the Missionary Education Movement. The first of these books is entitled "In the Vanguard of a Race," the author being Mrs. L. H Hammond of Georgia, who for a time undertook the difficult task of presenting the better side of Negro life in both white and colored papers, especially in the South. The fact that Mrs. Hammond is a white Southerner did not interfere with the object that she had in view, but enabled her to secure publicity that otherwise would have been out of the question. The sympathetic treatment of the present work is indicated by the dedication: "To that great company of Negro women, bond and free, unlettered and college-bred, whose living faith and loving sacrifices have created and are enriching the ideals of a race." The contents of this little volume embraces a dozen sketches of members of the race whose accomplishments in various walks of life are recited in a pleasing style with inspiring effect. As the author truly says, "Perhaps the most striking feature of this book is what is not in it." But too much must not be expected in the limits of 176 pages.
---
The second work published under the same auspices is "The Trend of the Races," written by George Edmund Haynes, Secretary of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations, of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. In a foreword by Dr. James H. Dillard, he refers to the author as "a man of education and high intelligence, whose peculiar opportunities of seeing all conditions of life among his people, and of knowing their thoughts, entitle him to be a spokesman and interpreter." Dr. Haynes' training as a sociologist and his service as the director of the division of Economics of the U.S. Department of Labor, together with extensive travel in the rural sections of the South, entitle this work to respectful consideration. His review of typical pioneers in race relations and the progress made in the past six years establishes the need for increased opportunities. The trend of the Negro world and the trend of the white world are contrasted and a way of interracial peace pointed out through the contacts established by the councils, cooperative organization and all the various agencies for popular education. As a suggestive and informative digest on the relations of the two races in this country this volume should receive careful study.
Another valuable contribution in the study of racial relations is made in a volume entitled "Wanted—Leaders" by the Rt Rev Theodore Duforte Bratton, D. D. Bishop of Missouri, published by the Department of Missouri and Church Extension of the Episcopal Church. The subtitle of this work is "W Study of Negro Development." It is one by the first three chapters, being devoted to the characteristics and progress of the Negro in America, in Liberia and in Haiti. Later chapters are given to the slave and the freedman in America, the period of war and reconstruction, the education and the religious development of the race. In his final chapter, "What of the Future?" Bishop Bratton refers with admission to the life and work of the comparatively small band of Negro leaders, during the forty years past, upon whom God has placed this most difficult and delicate task of laying the foundation for a totally new relation toward a more numerous and powerful race." The solution of the problem of the relation of the races, in the opinion of the author, "the only solution that really solves is Justice, with its accompanying weight in the measure—Mercy. Without the exercise of these, no class or race could hope for continuous life or persistent growth."
"A Boy's Life of Booker T. Washington" by Prof. W. C. Jackson, vice-president of the North Carolina College for Women, published by the Macmillan Company, is intended to interest boys in the life of the founder of Tuskegee. The author says that "this man's life was of such singular and vital importance in the history of his own race and in the history of our country that it ought to be familiar to all the youth of the land, and to the Native youth especially, since it is the greatest inspiration to the latter to be found in the animals of American history." The familiar facts of Washington's life from his early childhood, born in slavery, through his extensive career in acquire
ing an education and then building a great school for others, is told with an arresting simplicity that should commend itself to youthful readers.
"Black and White Tangled Threads" is a story of love and romance, complicated by the heritage of slavery and the prejudices of the color line. The author is Zara Wright, who dedicated the volume of some 344 pages to the memory of her departed husband, J. Edward Wright, jealousy, abduction, imprisonment, escape, death, a broken trust and other dramatic incidents enter into the story. The latter part of the book is devoted to a sequel, which carries the racial complications into a later generation. The characters include a member of the English peerage and the references to "My Lord" and "the royal family" have all the piquancy of that once popular novelist, Laura Jean Libber.
Commenting on the political extinguishment of such leading lights as Vardaman of Mississippi. Blease of South Carolina and ex-Gov. Catts of Florida, the Cleveland Call said:
What manner of man is Mr. McCleed, who defeated Blease, is not yet known to the country any more than what calibre of man is Mr. Stephens, who knocked out Vardaman. But Vardaman and Blease are known. The knowledge is sufficient to justify self-respecting Americans in rejoicing that Mr. Stephens and Mr. McCleed have been successful. The South may not yet be "out of the woods." but repudiation of men like Vardaman and Blease indicates that, after a long and bloody sweep the South now sights the "clearing."
We hope this optimistic view of recent political changes may be warranted by the outrage of the situation in the South. But there was too much Ku Klux sentiment evinced in the Democratic primaries to indulge in any premature rejoicing. Coming events will show if there has been any improvement in swapping known evils for the unknown.
Senator Thomas E. Watson of Georgia whose career career was suddenly ended by his death last week, made almost his latest contribution to debate in the Senate in opposing the Liberian loan proposal. A Washington dispatch in the Dallas, Tex., Express reported him as follows:
Among other things, he said that there were $0,000 civilized Negroes in Liberia and he would rather give the $5,000,000 to Negroes in Alabama or Georgia than to them. This amount, he said, meant $100 each for every Negro man, woman and child.
"And," the Senator asked, "what in the world are they going to do with when they get it? Five hundred dollars are every Negro family in Liberia. Oh what a publication there would be if Washington City if we made a present of Shek to every Negro family in the District of Columbia."
Senator Watson presented the sad spectacle of a brilliant intellect devoted to destructive politics, always seeking personal aims at the cost of truth and justice. His appeals to the basest qualities of the Georgia voters but him in the Senate, where he played friend and for alike.
The oldest person in Kansas, according to the Topeka Plaindealer, died recently at Wichita at the age of 121 years. This centenarian was Mrs. Clara Dawson of Fountain, a colored woman who according to reliable records, was born in Culpepper County, Va., In 1801. The Plaindealer said in reviewing her career:
Her great age can best be realized by comparison of the historical events she witnessed in her life time. At her birth George Washington was in his second term as President of the United States. The war of 1812, the great Indian Wars, the Mexican War of 1849, the Civil War and all the other wars of the Republic were fought in her life time.
Since her birth steam power was invented; electricity, the telephone and the telegraph were brought to the use of man; the sewing machine; the oil industry; harvesting machinery which means so much to modern civilization came into use.
Napoleon's career, and all of Europe's history since that time were also witnessed by the aged woman.
For more than a hundred years Mrs. Fontain smoked tobacco, it is said, but she did not attribute her longevity to that practice. The Anti-Tobacco League may claim that this indulgence shortened her career.

Almost the entire detention in Louisiana were Negro veterans and prominent among the Port Commissioners were D. B. Bryant of Ft. Pillow Post, Tepoka Post, J. H. Lewis, John Post, Chicago, J. P. Quander, Summer Post, Washington, D. C. and a number of others whose names we were unable to secure.

It was entirely fitting that our C-11 War veterans should have been represented on this occasion, for the "4" troops fought nobly as Gen Butler declared on the floor of Congress.

In considering the question of "What shall the colored voters do?" the Rehmand Planet evolved this hit of political advice:
A colored organization with twenty-five thousands or more voters, which voters will act as a unit will attract the attention of any political party and will command respect. We have a good organization at the top. Let us extend it and organization to the bottom, to end that the colored people of Virginia may take their place among the other political organizations of the commonwealth.
At the Planet had made it clear that the colored voters had been "proclaimed" of the Republican State Convention held at Roanoke by the "Littlest" causes presented the wisdom of its desire to organize its appearance.
The St. Lucius Herald of Rohwernd, Va., thinks that the unhappy condition of Ireland hurries an example for Negroes to avoid. It says.
There has never been a modern national treat with so direct a letter to Negroes as that manifested in the triennial troubles of Ireland. Every hundred years these vigorous people held in civil enlightenment to an alien government. The only reasonable excuse advanced was that Ireland was sent with mettere troubles, and being added the would mean other tree trees found about her if the should power her independence. That mutual personality has been fulfilled with inspirational consequences for the past twenty Negroes, in our humble judgments are in the same boat with the most frightful triumphs, or worst.
Both races need to learn the art of coordinating personal issues and solutions to the general good. The use or run policy followed by with individuals as De Valera and Garvey internal strife and distunion.

Nevertheless, the rate to the members of that organization is a dept of gratitude. Great credit should be given to James Weldon Johnson tor his commitment and uniting efforts in doing what could to assist Congressman Dyer and other white friends of the race in the fight to put a stumbling in the path of the American white murderers.
But one of the greatest: throw to our race lies in the tolerant these self made, money, grabbing called lead, Take for instance so-called National Race Congress was organized here by Baptist presidents some seven or eight years and which meets nowhere here in Washington.

We've got to pull trees we will remain the underdog in crack of deom! Let us find shelter in the N. A. C. P., and stand behind that safety.

I do not plead for India to practice non-violence because she is weak. I want her to practice it, being conscious of her strength and power. I want India to realise that she has a soul which cannot perish and which can rise triumphant over her physical weakness and defy the physical might of the world. I believe she has a mission for the mankind the power of non-violence, the power of Right holding an sword or bayonet in her hand—non violence in its dynamic condition means conscious suffering. It does not mean submission to the will of the evil doer, but it means putting one's whole soul against the will of the tyrant. Working under this law it is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire.
And this is just what Gandhi is engaged in doing. He is defying the might of a powerful government and it can get and keep the Indian people behind him in a unified peaceful opposing to British rule in India and in the victory, he will have revolutionized Revolution—for all time! A great nation will have gained freedom from Christ's way, and not in Caesar's—to suffering and being killed if need be, but not by killing—by the power of mind and soul, not by machine guns and bombs and poison gas! But Non-Violence is only one half the weapon—but one side of the two edged sword of the spirit—for non-violent resistance means far more than passive suffering. It must be militant, it must be constructive. The Indians are fighting—but with the weapons of non-cooperation, a glorified, amplified敌方, so to speak—a boycott so extensively planned that, if consistently sent to Gandhi, for only a year, could utterly destroy the power of the British Government in India.

This victory in South Africa was followed by another, though lesser spiral of "passive resistance"—in the Motherland, when during the Great War the peasants of Kira, under the guidance of Gandhi, refused to pay their taxes in a year when the crops were below the standard set for legal taxation. Many of them were despoiled of practically all they possessed, many went to prison, but they held to their determination not to obey an unjust and illegal ruling of the Government. At last after about six months the Government gave in.
An interesting side-light on the character of Gandhi and the tactics of non-violent resistance—for this term is more nearly descriptive of the Indian movement than the Tolstoyan phrase "passive resistance"—is the fact that while he was engaged in fighting the Government in this matter of taxes in one province, he cooperated with it by accepting a call to sit in a Government Council continued to discuss matters of moment in connection with the war.

HIGGINS, APPRAISER,
IN OFFICE AT N. O.
New Orleans, La.—The office of Appraiser of Merchandise of the Port of New Orleans, La., changed hands at 10 o'clock fornoon, Saturday, September 30; Bat P. Sullivan, Democrat, who has been in the office eight years, going out, and James L.

Lines, Collector of Internal Revenue and others. Mrs. Higgins and her son were present when Mr. Higgins took the oath and when he was installed into the office. All the employees of the Appraiser's department and many of the new appraiser's friends from other departments of the federal service witnessed the installation.
The only Republican of the four siated for federal appointment in this State who has not been appointed in Walter L. Cohen.
MISS ROSE, BRANCH LIBRARIAN,
DENIES LIBRARY SEGREGATION
round table conference held in connection with the A. L. A. Convention in Detroit at which I presided and about which there seems to have been a widely-spread misunderstanding. Will you kindly give this statement publicity?"
The following is the text of Miss Rose's statement:
Statement from Miss Rose.
October, 9, 1922.
"I find that my article reporting the round table on work with Negroes, held in connection with the American Library Association meeting in Detroit, has been widely misunderstood. I am glad to take the first opportunity to make my attitude clear.
"I do not believe in segregation in libraries by race or color. I do not believe in branches for Jews or Chinese or Negroes. But I do believe in group service. If a library is situated in an Italian district, it should especially cater to the kind of literature that Italians would naturally want to read and the kind of interests which dominate their daily life. This would not exclude books on other subjects nor would it mean that none but Italians would be welcome at the library."
"In the same way, at the 135th Street Branch of the Library, New York City, I have endeavored since I came to take charge of it to make a special effort to see that the library contained the kind kind of reading that colored people wide and were interested in, as well as general literature. I have made every endeavor to make welcome there not simply colored people but any person who wished to come.
"It was this attitude that I tried especially to express before the round table of the American Library Association. I had there two sets of auditors—southern libraries, who, believed in special library service for Negroes but who were absolutely certain that this could only be furnished in augmented libraries. They were also auxiliary libraries, who were only possibly unable to use the library of Negroes but who were equally interested in it."
without meeting that Negro patient could only be adequately served in segregated Negro branches. In my statement before the sound table and in my report of what the rest table did, I was trying to speak to those two sets of librarians—to insist on the one hand, that segregation was not the only, to my mind, the best answer to the library service problem for Negroes; and on the other hand that there was a duty which librarians. North and South, owed to their colored constituents.
"I get great opposition, particularly from the South, because of my stand, and I am sure that many of the southern librarians would hear with astonishment and, perhaps, with ill concealed delight the misinterpretations which some colored journals have put upon my attitude.
"If my report has not made my attitude clear it is a mistake in my way of putting the matter and not at all a mistake in my fundamental beliefs."
NEGRO BUILDING AT GULF STATES FAIR
(Special To The New York Age).
Mobile, Ala.-Colored citizens have been given an entire building at the Gulf States Agricultural and Live Stock Fair, to be held here October 23 to 29, and Isaiah J. Whitley, principal of the Mobile County Training School at Plateau, has been named as superintendent of the colored folks' exhibits.
This is one of the largest fairs in the country, covering six states. In addition to the building, which will be open every day during the fair, one day will be set aside by the fair management as "Negro Day," when every effort will be made to have large a attendance of members of the race.
Leonard F. Morse is superintendent of exhibits, and he is planning a special display of newspapers, magazines and other literary productions sent out by Negro writers and publishers. Space in the Negro building will be free of cost to exhibitors.

SH-h-! Little Whispers About A Bad Breath
My! Not a break. I wish I dared tell my! Why not why not? There isn't anything original about it and if your breath is bad, wouldn't you be glad to know it? There is nothing more common or more unknowable than a bad breath. And the sad part of it is that while we're quick to sleep in to others, we seldom think of yourself.
A new "yours" or said steamer to more always the come of bad breath, and it doesn't, more how often you brush your eyes, such poor mouth, or how him or what you eat. I your "smash"s off your breath will tell the story. But if you have your stomach sweet and cold and free from cold you won't have to worry about a bad breath, go, sometimes
on the larger communities.

Grace Congregational Church
The pastor suggested that every teacher in the Grace Church Bible school should take the ten weeks' training course of the New York Sunday-school Association, and the teachers readily agreed to take the course.
The choir was increased by two new members last Sunday, Robert Northern and Chancey Northern, formerly students at Hampton Institute.
Mrs. Nelson B. Scott, who is in charge of the Beginners' class in Grace Sunday-school, has been urged by friends and parents of the young children to open a limited kindergarten class.

Fleet St. Church, Brooklyn
Pete S. Church, Brooklyn.
A splendid audience heard the Rev W C. Brown, pastor of Fletch St Memorial A M E Zion Church, Sunday morning. Those that were fortunate in being present were more fortunate to hear him on the theme, "Grace the heaven!" If it can be said that he has any masterpieces, this was one among them. Rev Brown is a student, resourceful in the study of human nature. At 7:45 the theme, "The dental of Christ by Peter," was but another evidence of his superior knowledge of men and things of the past and present. Next: Sunday morning Rev Brown will discuss the subject "Has Christianity failed?" At the evening service, his theme will be "The Moh Spirit then and now." These are special sermons. "Every member bring a friend," is the organ.
Friday coming Rev. Brown will speak at Yankees, N. Y. for the Rev. R. S. Oden. The following week Pastor Brown will take a much needed vacation, during which time he will visit five of the fall conferences, taking in two of the Alabama conferences, Central North Carolina, Western North Carolina and the Alabama Conference. Rev. Brown is a candidate for the bishopric, and if a comprehensive grasp on vital things, and his honest solicitation for church of his choice, and business methods, as well as the other astering qualities that he possesses, counts for anything, there should be no question as to his elevation by the church. Brooklyn feels the impress of his personality. The church has gone forward as an unthought of pace. This however has been true of his entire ministerial career.
Monday coming at 8 o'clock the funeral service over the remains of the late Martin R. Brown was held at the church. The deceased was a native of Jamaca. B. W. L. came to this

WITH OUR GIRLS
I've been thinking for the longest while just how to start my letter, for I find the starting in the hardest part of all. I am very busy now, making things for our hauser, but still I can find some spare moments for the column. 'In my last letter, I said I would write a few lines on fashion, so here goes—
There are three models that will be in jovice for quite a long time: long panna, drapped dress and the circular dress. A very charming dress for the young mute is made of heavy cannon crops with long waist and panels. The waist and sleeves are cut in one, giving it the idimobile effect. As many prefer the longer sleeve for Winter a gold result can be obtained by having a piece of the same material come from the end of the sleeve (which is about 5 inches above the elbow) to the wrist and held in by a narrow cuff. The panels are cut slightly narrow at the top, and are even to the bottom of the shirt, front and back, sloping toward the side, giving it the long effect. A braided belt looks exceptionally well.
The draped dress is more becoming to the older girl or woman. This model is also made up in custom crop, although to have a richer effect nothing could be more appropriate than chiffon valet. In one model the waistline is slightly below normal. There are fine half-cheek tucks at the top of the shirt which give it a novel effect. The shirt is then draped over to the left side and held in place by a buckle. In custom creations the sleeves
was the most logical setting for the Convention. If for nothing else, it certainly would have been a change from the blinding cold, heavy rain, and ice as will be experienced in St. Louis in December.
Are the people of Los Angeles, and California, in generally to be treated thus. If this Convention is to be transferred—after all the expenses incurred here, by individuals and also the City—we are due more than: "The Convention will meet in St. Louis, Mo., December 6th." A fuller explanation, a more tangible excuse than the strike must be forthcoming, and is not only asked, but DEMANDED by the people who have been so grievously and warrantly mistreated.
The Exposition grounds had been settled upon as the place for holding the convention and other preparations made, which seemed to warrant the disappointment expressed at the change of place.
One of the curious developments of the political campaign in Texas is the announcement in black headlines running across the front page of the Houston Pressman that "Bill McDonald Supports Mayfield." William M. McDonald is described as the biggest Negro Mason in Texas, while Mayfield is the candidate of the Ku Klux Klan for United States Senator. Mr. McDonald explained his position by skying:
Ku Kluxian has no terror for me. The leaders of the Republican party Ku Kluxad the Negro in his constitutional and political rights as early as 1920. They drew the color line and put their stamps of approval upon MINORITY RULE. I have always been taught that the MAJORITY should govern and I firmly believe in this principle.
The old axiom that politics makes strange bedfellows is again vindicated in Texas.
which are long and flowing, are sit on
the underwear. In palmette the sleeve
can so fit the arm swing. Although
fashion decrees high collars I could
whether they will be very common.
The circular dress is becoming both
to the young misz and older girl. The
waist is made rather tight, giving it the
appearance of the beacon. The skirt,
which is cut circular, is rather short, in
the front and back about eight inches
from floor) and slopes down to the ankle
on the side. The collar is also cir-
cular, giving a cape effect. The sleeves
and waist are cut in one, although the
collar is so large you cannot see the
sleeves, underneath the cage. The belt
is cut about three inches wide on the
double and stuffed with cotton, giving
a round pulled appearance when finished.
I would like to write more, but I
doubt whether Mr. Moore, would allow
me so much space, so will close with a
hearty welcome to all new members, also
the old ones who have not written in
a long time.
"SNOOKUMS."
DRAR GIRLS
Last week I had a lovely surprise. I received a letter from a girl in Virginia asking me for some information about the school that I owe most to my last letter. Although I have any girls from Virginia in Our Column, the girls in Virginia are reading letters just the same. I am in hope that we will hear from that state well soon. "Kid Palmer" has promised me something for the Wonder Girls Banner and she also promised to ask the Pfiskald girls for some things. I hope you remembered to do so, "Kid Palmer." I also hope to receive a little something from all the girls in the column. I would love to be able to ask our guests though was demanded, made by, or sent by each and a girl, so please, girls, wont you all send me just some little thing, to represent each one of you, try. Also I am in hopes of seeing as many of you as possible at our next Bannar. It is to be held, October 25, 26, 107, at the Kay Ferguson Home, 162 West 100th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. My address is A. Bolden, 313 East 50th street, New York. I agree with Wilhelmina about not saying any more welcomes in, the girls' letters. But I am sure that every girl is very glad when ever we hear from a new girl. I would love to see many more letters from new girls. You see "Wilhelmina," the Wonder Girls have a welcome committee in, thickness, so we have many members that have never written in the column. "Snookums" told you girls in her letter, about my little nanocode dog. Can't come, and please think of a nice name for him. That's the girl. "Snookums." Next written on fads and fashion and will illustrate them and then we will put out a weekly fashion book. I have written quite enough now. I am sending in a dollar for four weeks. Please don't forget, girls, who thank donations for our Bannar.
New York City
Here I am again. This is just my second visit to the column and I come with more interest this time than before. We seem to have quite a few-tailed column girls and with them I feel sure that the column is going to grow, more and more interesting each week. Now girls, if we let "TRY" be our first motto and "SUCCEED" be our very great success. "Kindness," I am deeply interested in your story, so please hurry and send some more of it. Girls, I want to correspond with each and every one of you, and some day I'll surprise many of you by dropping you a line. Now, I am sure other girls desire space in the column and if I continue the manner I have started they won't be any left so to prevent such a tragic happening I shall bid you all adios. "LADDIE BOY." Boston, Mass.
Knockouts Feature All-Star Bill at 369th Reg't Armory
Estridge, Former Amateur Middleweight Champ and Taylor of 369th Score Quickly In Their Bouts-Martin and Moleto Fight Draw
Judging by the attendance at the weekly boxing show of the 369th Infantry on Friday night, October 6, the all-star bill of three ten-round bouts proved to be unusually popular, for the armory was filled to its capacity. Only one of the star bouts offered the spectators any real fighting. The other two were one-sided affairs.
In the first of these bouts Larry Eastridge, former amateur middleweight champion, knocked out Kid Jackson of the 369th Infantry in the second round. Jackson was unable to hit one good blow. Eastridge proved to be one of the fastest men of his weight fighting at this army and to carry a hefty punch in his left hand. Since becoming professional he has never had a severe test. Either Willie Walker or Kid Gibbons should be matched with him to see if he is as good as he looks. He weighed 156 pounds; Jackson weighed 1003.
The Terry Martin and Joe Moleto bout were the limit, and was declared a draw by the referee. Martin appeared to be the stronger, but was slow in getting started. His white opponent outpointed him in the first four rounds of the fight, and gave him a close battle in the next three. In the last few rounds, however, Martin took the lead and about evened up the score. The decision of the judges in declaring the bout a draw

did not meet with the approval of the majority of the fans, as most of them thought that Moleta should have been given the decision on points. These fighters will probably be matched for a return bout in the next three or four weeks. Both weighted 1154 pounds. In the final bout Sandy Taylor of the 369th regiment scored a knockout in the first round over Eddie Clancy of the 102nd Medical Regiment. Clancy started the fight at a fast pace, but found the colored boy more than willing to mix with him. In less than two minutes Clancy was down for the count of seven, and upon rising was promptly knocked out by an uppercourt to the chin. Taylor had not lost a fight at this army since he began boxing here, and is one of the most popular fighters in the regiment. He weighs 1414 pounds and his opponent weighed 140.
Beginning with Tuesday night, October 17, the weekly show at this armory will be held each Tuesday instead of on Friday night, as in the past. This change was made because several of the larger clubs have selected Friday night for their shows, and it was thought that there would be less competition on Tuesday. Charlie Parker and Barney Williams were the referees of the fight on Friday night, with William White and Romeo Dougherty as the judges.
One of the best vaudeville shows was witnessed at the Lafayette Theatre last Sunday. There were nine acts and every one went over with a bang. It was really the best arranged bills I have ever seen. The Coleman Bros. cerically put one over on their patrons, as all who saw the show said it was a treat. The show opened with the La Maze Trio Acrohais, followed by Rubine; next was Cooper and Lane, then Clarke, Mack and Bernard, Plantation Pastimes, Florence Parham, Shirley and Shuwood. "Personalities." Closed with Helene Justa and Boots Marshall, assisted by Donald Haywood, which sent every body home happy.

HUISWOUD IS NAMED AN OFFICIAL REFEREE
Cris Huiswoud, former basketball star of the St. Christopher and Incorporators teams, has been appointed as one of the fifteen official referees for the Intercollegiate Basketball League. Huiswoud took the examination for referee last year, and so far as is known is the only colored man to receive an appointment. The Intercollegiate League is made up of teams representing Cornell, Columbia, Yale, Princeton University, Pennsylvania and Brown. Besides the varsity teams of these schools, their freshmen teams are also under the supervision of this organization, and it is thought that Huiswoud will officiate as referee for most of the freshmen games. Huiswoud is popularly known as "Dutch" and has been a referee for local colored games for the past five years.

West Virginia Opens Football Season.
Institute. W. Va.-Both coaches and football candidates have been working hard at the West Virginia-Collegiate institute in preparation for one of the hardest schedules that the institution has yet had. Late in the week, after much practice and drill on the fundamentals, the squad of more than fifty men was divided into three sections, each section now having a team. These are going through daily signal practice, scrimmages, and are learning, under the efficient and detailed instruction of Coach A. P. Hamblin, the fine points of the game.
The progress of the team has been greatly helped by the return of Cardwell and Bowley, who were unable to return to school until late because of work. Both were slightly out of condition, but by exceptionally hard work they are now able to take theirs, and then some, along with the rest of the squad.
Th first game will be played on Saturday, October 14, against Kentucky State Normal and Industrial Institute.

PULLMAN PORTER NEWS
BY JAMES H. MOGANS
In the New York World of October 4, under the heading: "It is Good to be Back at a World Series," Christy Mathhewson of baseball fame, related an incident of his trip from Saranac Lake in the following manner: "Say, an old porter got under my hide on the trip down; he spotted me and I saw his eyes pop a bit; he came up and crooned a bit in my ear: 'say, aint you all Mistuh Christy Mathson? I admitted my guilt; well, Mr. Christy ah am awfully proud to mak' you all comfortable and ah am suttenly glad to see you lopkun so good." Well, he made me gulp, that fellow showed that his honest heart was big and red under black skin; I never got such a kick out of life before."
That was very good, he paid the porter quite a compliment—but we regret the dialect. We know the porter of whom he spoke, and while those may have been his sentiments, they were not his identical speech. He would not use "ah" for I, nor "you all" for your party. However, that is of minor importance. What we wish to impress upon every service attendant is the moral of amenity. We should let our courtesy and cheerfulness be apparent as near as possible at all times and under all conditions. In so doing we may be the means of helping others as well as ourselves.
For example, I have in mind a porter who helped to pay off the mortgage on the only colored church in his city by soliciting donations from his wealthy riders. These contributors did not know anything about the church excepting that J — was honest and cheerful, consequently an entire community was benefitted by one man's characteristics. We know of several cases where porters were indirectly responsible for money being given to worthy causes. In helping our race it is not always due to the efforts of Prof A. Dr. B. nor Mr. C. that the rich philanthropist donates but, he gives on account of the sympathy created by "George." "Bill" and "Sam." They are the ones that come in personal contact with Mr. Benefactor. He sees in their highheartedness the need of helping a struggling people.
FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS AT VIRGINIA N. & I. INST.
(Special to The New York Age).
Petersburg, Va. With the sound of Coach Watson's whistle some thirty-five or forty men fully clad in togs that are expected to cross the goal many times this year got into action. The men are confident of making a good showing this year with big Lee and Ferrel in tackle. Nicholas in the backfield and Thrift back as center. The hole left by Spraylet is being ably filled by Cole. So there seems to be no worry about quarter. Doc Lewis is playing a consistent game in guard and it seems as if the opposition will have to direct its attack toward other quarters.
The first game will be played at home against St. Augustine on October 14. The rest of the schedule is as follows: At home October 21 Shaw; October 28 Hampton; November 11. Howard; on the read—Nov. 4. Biddle; Nov. 18. Union; Nov. 25. A. & T.; Nov. 30. Virginia Seminary. There will probably be a game against Morgan College at Baltimore on December 9.

FIFTY-THREE MEN IN
MOREHOUSE SQUAD
Atlanta, Ga.-Fifty-three men answered the call of Coaoh B. T. Harvey for the first week's football practice of Morehouse College. From the outlook, it is likely that Morehouse will again become the champions of the South, as seven of the vets of last year's team have returned in good physical condition. The old men with the team who returned are: Captain Gayles, C. Kelly, J. Maxwell, L. Gentry, T. Starr, S. Turman and L. Irving.

BORDENTOWN GIVES
LINCOLN GOOD FIGHT (Special to The New York Age). Bordentown, N. J.—The Bordentown team gave Coach Law and his Lincoln Lions an unpleasant surprise in the game here on Saturday. Expecting an easy set-up, the Lions found instead a well-trained heavy team that had been thoroughly coached both in defensive and offensive play. During the first half the Bordentown boys gave Lincoln as much as she could handle, and displayed a brand of football that was the equal of any that Lincoln encountered last year. On three different occasions Bordentown was dangerously near the goal line, and at one time was within-two yards of making a touch down, but at these critical points Lincoln stiffened, and held Bordentown for downs.
The first half was played in a steady down-pour of rain, and the score at the end of the first half was 0-0. In the second half Lincoln played more aggressively, and continued to force Bordentown back towards Bordentown's own goal line. Near the end of the third quarter the Bordentown full back was credited with a safety. Following this, by steady line plunges, and a long forward pass from McClean to Lancaster, the ball was carried to the 15-yard line. A. Wilson drop kicked the goal. This ended the scoring.
During the entire second half a rain and wind storm made good playing almost impossible, and most of the spectators were completed to leave the field and seek the covering of the dormitories. Final score, Lincoln. 9. Bordentown. 0.
Lacola Defeats Bordentown
Bordentown, N. J.-Lincoln University opened its football season here on Saturday, October 7, by defeating the Bordentown Manual Training School eleven, 9-0. According to a card from the Bordentown squad, the score of the game was due to an accident. They say that next year they will reverse this score. The Bordentown team is comparatively light, but has the other qualities necessary for a good football team and expects to make this their best year. Lincoln has plenty of material for another championship team, but needs considerable practice.

Woman Appointed to U. S. Senate From Georgia Advised Agricultural Society in 1917 to "Lynch 1,000 Negroes a Week If Necessary"
By CHARLES E. MALL)
Washington, D. C.—The recent appointee of Mrs. W. H. Felton to the United States Senate by Gov. Hardwick of Georgia, to the vacancy caused by the Senator Thomas Watts, distinct honor paid to the woman, and a royal tribute accomplished member of that will be recalled that Mrs. Felton the widow of a former Georgia woman, and that back in 1897 the address on the subject of lynchings in the Agricultural Society at Georgia, that received wide public attention the country and rivet attention of the world upon the mob rule spirit so freely exhulted the United States.
in answer to the charge that press delivered by her had insti- edorial written by Manly in Washington Record, which preci- pit Wilmington outrage that caus- ed sixteen lives, Mrs Felton her declarations concerning and said, need be the yach work if it is necessary for the women. She also sup- pose that Manly should be made to mother's rope rather than occupy in the New York newspapers had appeared articles written concerning the riot.
that time, twenty-five years ago, at Judge Lynch lynch had not gripped American conscience; the newspapers gave tabulated returns, each year, to lynch the records made in each of the followers of this great American out-door sport; and the lynchings of a Negro for a supposed murder, suspected burglary, for gambling or a count of debt or political troubles were not infrequently charged on the crime of rape by the lynchers, the uninformed peasants of the city, with the rest of that even the acceptable Negro element in certain cases lived under a constant strain of and largely because of this fear, more less productive and more micro-
Not unlike many others of that day, generation, M. Fekon's regard for black of regard Tor the Negro as a crime was probably due to the very unstable news service which depicted every Negro victim of mob violence as a big, bully black rapist, and it was unbilled due to this viewpoint that she declared in her speech, "If it requires thing to protec women's dearest position from maze drunken human then I say, such a thousand a week if it's necessary." Since 1897, however, a great change has taken place in the heart of the American public. The devastating work "Black Ketch" is the shame of our nation. State governors like Stanley Hardwick; many statesmen and commissioners and citizens have placements on record against Lynchism that has not left its bloody history of any other man- mated or savage. It is an American that makes a keystone for "World War II" and a kind to foreign natons and a highwayman who has with the goods on his ger-

the work. Others who have not responded from a financial viewpoint assisted materially by donating food and clothing to the Ferguson Home may continue and prosper. Not only has the Katy Ferguson Home received assistance in a material way, but in a professional way as well. Dr. E. P. Roberts and other physicians have given their services gratis, and by their counsel enabled the management to keep theocate of the girls at a high level. The American Red Cresis and the Charity Mission of the Episcopal Church have been continuous and generous doners.
What the Home Has Done
Acloser intimacy with the work at the Katy Ferguson Home shows the observer how harmony and efficiency can dwell as a common tenant in a single breast. There the staff of workers have spared no pains in making harmony, integrity and efficiency stand preeminent.
Last year this Home cared for 150 girls, who had an average stay, of six weeks, and 100 babies for an average of one month. It also gave temporarily shelter to 50 incorrigible girls, who must be given new funds, that is meant the girl's other funds and who stands in need of a helping hand. In other words the doors of Katy Ferrugium stand ajar for the girl of another chance, instead of exposing the girl who seambles and blightening her chances forever. This home be- lively, lifting encouragement and re-education. It is known and appreciated anti-social behavior and minor errors of conduct, especially where the education of women is concerned, are the products of a slip-shod education, or no education on a number of the vital facts of Life, such as all young women should know that they may lead合 principles of conduct are so thoroughly taught the girls at the Katy Ferrugium Home that few of them ever become reaped offenders.
Surroundings of Inmates.
Not only are the girls in the home given every advantage to improve themselves, but the whole atmosphere of social betterment is thrown around them in such a way that they are made to feel in the midst of friends in spite of their condition. The girls are given a course on the care of mothers and babies, the essentials of safety and care, and the Miss Congo of the American Red Crops conducts the course on the completion of which the girls are awarded with a certificate.
Perhaps one of the outstanding features of the Katy Ferguson Home is the care the girls receive while there. No girls permitted to leave the house before she is thoroughly well. The best of hospital facilities are provided and in general the health of the girls is maintained. Then again there is the employment. The management sees to it that each girl is given the kind of employment she can best do.
But to tell of the past usefulness of the Katy Ferguson Home, its aims, its scope and the unselfishness shown by the services of those who are making the work possible, is only half of the story.
Needs Of The Home.
The other half is the needs and problems. There is crying need of immediate assistance to check the present problems, that are hampering the work to a great extent. Despite the fact that everyone applies the particular work, the one who must one must admit from observation that the home is operated on greatly inadequate facilities. It is in need of immediate funds to carry on the work. Groceries of all kinds are needed. The Home, stands in need of more cooperative and public spirited physicians, it needs the moral as well as financial support of the entire community. Remember, somebody's sister, although fallen, that the Katy Ferguson Home shields and offers another chance.
Surely, no man nor woman even of moderate means—no person with even a semblance of charity and conscience can afford to remain unresponsive to this Macedonian call. You must help them by providing them with Mrs. Augusta Corbin, chairman of the house committee, has stood as a balwark in furthering the scope of the work from a number of angles. Dr. Katharine. Bement. Davis, chairman of the joint committee in charge of the Home was the first woman commissioner heading a city department department being born by the late Mayor Pontry Mitchell. The other members of the committee are Fred R. Moore, secretary; Miss Gertrude Grasse, vice president; Harry Pelham, treasurer; Miss Eva D. Bowles; Wm. Dean Embree; Mrs. Hakey Fiske; Dr. Hastings H. Hart, Mrs. Edwin F. Horme, Mrs. Edwin F. Horme, M. C. Lawton, Danail F. Murphy, Mrs. Willard Parker; Miss Alison Smith.

(By V, P.: THOMAS)
New Orleans, La.—"I could today be still in the Garvey group of the Uni-
versal Negro Improvement Association
Factories Corporation, and other con-
cerns, if I would only keep my mouth
shut, not come out publicly and call upon
Mr. Garvey, as I have done, as I intend
to continue to do, to tell the truth to the
members of the association as to what
has become of the nearly a million dollars
collected from the members, with
absolutely nothing to show for it on
hand," was the opening crack of the
thundering things that the Rev. J. W.
H. Eason, who last year came to New
Orleans and put the Garvey movement
in good shape in this city, said in in
Longshoremen's Hall. Jackson avenue
and Franklin street, on Monday night
to about one hundred representative
citizens gathered there to hear the Eason
side of the reason why he was expelled for ninety-nine years and one day
from the Garvey movement during Garvey's August convention in New York.
Another of Mr. Eason's strong and
ripping cracks which brought lung and
loud applause was when he said:
"I am an American citizen, with rights and privileges in the part of the country where I live equal before the law to those of every other American citizen there, and it has never occurred to me in all my life that any man has the right to deny me the exercise of his sacred rights and privileges; so when a fair price is deemed to require of me as a fair price that remains in his good graces that I should never question him about the use he was questioning the money I put in the association of the money I raised from others and put into his hands for buying and paying for ships to carry on trade and commerce between this and other countries, in keeping with the program which he had shown me, while time was passing, to money going, too, as in a hole. I told him my money going, too, as a hole. I told him, "Forceful language as I could utter, that I would never render my manhood, my self and privileges to question him on such vital matters for the biggest office that he had in the U. N. I. A. to give me."
Mr. Eason said that when he found close investigation that nearly a million dollars of members money appeared to have been lovingly spent, wannily ordered or made away with, and that there was no money to show in ships or anything else for the money was all gone, there was nothing he could think of to do but to question Garvey about the missing money, because Garvey received all the money and permitted what it was to get one without knowing what it was, and who it was going to and when it was going. But that there was no one else for him to question about it, and of course he ques-

tioned Garvey as the one responsible for it.
Mr. Eason said that this made him a bad man, and dangerous man in the opinion of Mr. Garvey,—a man that Garvey had to get rid of in the U.'N. L. A., and Garvey's correction, at the dictation and order of Garvey, expelled him for ninety-nine years and one day "One thing," said Mr. Eason, "that Garvey and his convention in expelling me did not do was to give me back the ground there, and that loaned the movement through the solicitation Garvey in order to help Garvey, get it on its feet. I hold daily signed notes notes signed by Garvey as president and by his secretary of the U. N. L. A., for this money and I mean to get back my money."
Mr. Eason had went to Garvey after the convention in his office and demanded a return of his money and that he could not pay him because they had no money in the treasury to pay him with.
Mr. Eason seemed inclined to believe that there was very little money in the U. N. I. A. treasury because the treasurer's report read at the recent convention showed a balance on hand of a little over $20, and because he himself had figures to show that the U. N. I. A. and $25,871 today, with absolutely nothing in the way of unnumbered property of any kind to set up against the debt. Charges that a plantation in the West Indies, costing $25,000 had been bought by Garvey, and $4,000 or $5,000 had been invested in some concern in Liberia or other part of Africa by Garvey, and the allied concerns are in debt over $85,700, simple language speakers, Mr. Eason said himself as the only man in the U. N. I. A. who has sense enough to manage a big affair like the U. N. I. A. and allied concerns properly, and vet Eason says, nearly a million dollars of the members' money can neither be found in the banks in the shape of ships, real or other assets of the U. N. I. A. And if he has not been foolishly swindered, recently spent or dishonestly made away with?
"No doubt," Eason said, "Garvey spent much of this money advertising Garvey." During the convention, Mr. Eason alleged, one day Garvey paid out in a check to a representative of a big New York daily paper $250 to announce in its columns that the "Hon Marens Garvey, the greatest Negro orator the Negro race ever produced will speak" on a certain occasion, naming the occasion. That was money, Eason said, that was spent out of the funds of the U.N. J.R. committee, there he could doubt that this $250 was worthfully three away that day, only a small fraction of the monthly money that Garvey has used to advertise the "Hon Marens Garvey" and Marens Garvey alone, at the expense of members who are too craven to question Garvey.
I recommend Fair Pix preparations all who desire to make money easy and fast. They are easy to sell because they do not have to be billed for them and are repeaters. I think a woman who honestly tries can make more money selling Fair Pix goods than they can working for a salary. Right now in my territory Fair Pix goods are gaining popularity and are sold in toilet articles. Any man or woman can sell Fair Pix goods and be independent.
W A JOHNSON
Mr. Eason said that the report of the general treasurer of the U. N. L. A. read to the convention in August was by a motion made and adopted, to be printed and a copy of it placed on the hands of, every member of the convention, but that Garvey knew when the motion was entertained that no printed copy of this report was ever to get into the hands of any member and none ever did. This report showed a balance of a littlecover $700 on hand of an aggregate amount collected for the year of over $187,000, he said. Mr. Eason said

in the State have done for me since I attended night school here, the mingled emotions with which I receive the notification of the action of the delegates assembled in the Republican Convention recently. In the record of my public life they have found something worthy of commendation, otherwise they would not again tendered me the opportunity to hold the high place of Senator of the United States. in sixteen years in which I have labored as a member of the Congress in both its branches, I trust they have found an adherence on my part, in time of peace and in time of war, not only of the fundamentals of the Republic Public to the fundamentals of the American Republic. Like most men I erase the commendation of my fellow beings, and if that comment earns because I have been true to the ideals of the founders of this nation, I am doubly happy.
"Fortunately or unfortunately, it has been my lice to serve on committees on Congress where there is little to appeal to sentiment. These committees have dealt with figures and facts of commerce and industry, of the cost of government, and the taxation necessary to meet the realities of service requires adherence to realistic timetables at theoric. Daily throughout attempts at congressional service. I have been confirmed with be tremendous truth that directly or indirectly, every dollar spent by this government, great though it is, must come from the pockets of her citizen. Mindful of that truth, I have sought to keep the cost of government at a point where currency might be maintained by levying too heavy a burden of taxation upon the people. In the future even men may pass, however, whenever the president, the Congress will be forced to confirm the truth that government has nothing except that which it gets from its people and that the ability of the people to pay may often be destroyed by taxation. Let none be mistaken, the National Democratic party looks upon the State of New York, with its rich resources the best supply house of revenue. I can care who the man the Democrats may represent in the Congress of the United States that man will never be able to cradle for the National Democratic mind the belief that New York should bear the largest proportion of Federal taxation. I make no selfish appeal on this occasion for support of my candidacy. I confess that I have endeavored always to have the good will of the active Republican men and women. No one owes to them than I do. I believe in parties of responsibility. Tonight, I beg of you of responsibility. I shall be given unceasingly to the election of every nominee of the State Commission. For their character as men, for their capacity to serve the State, you need offer no apology. The State Convention has offered the people a group

• NEWS OF THE CHURCHES •
Mother A. M. E. Zion Church
The 11 o'clock church at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church on Sunday, October 8, was attended by the usual large congregation. The devotional service preparatory to the delivery of the sermon the priestly faithfulness of the congregation joined heartily in the singing. Dr. Brown announced that the services of the day throughout the city would be in the interest of the work allotted to "Safety Work." He read a statement showing the appalling number of persons who met their death through accidents during last year. He advised that the rules of traffic be observed. Brown used as his subject one of Paul's utterances, "Except ye abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved." The theme of his discourse was "Life's Voyage." He pointed out that on the voyage of life, that darkness at times obscured our spiritual skies, that obstrose
who embarked on the great journey to bygone days to perform the story of the journey of the passengers, the ships and the people now worsening upon the great destiny, and of the postmortem, of some of the passengers, that the prospects of a safe voyage were far more encouraging. Dr. Boone in his presentation and that the Church of the Most High God was the Spiritual Ship, and that the officers constituted the crew and the pastor of the church is the captain of the ship in church, Captain Belinda Church. He called the attention of the congregation to the fact that all of the passengers of the ship in the text were brought safely to land. This was due to the fact that they required on the ship according to the advice given. Special emphasis was placed upon the fact that although the passengers were saved, their cargo was lost, the loss of the people of the church of the cargo and pointed out that this cargo must be sorted rid of.
The service was replete with spiritual instruction and helpful inspiration. The safety week service was made to align not only the safety of the body but also the observance of those spiritual rules as are necessary to insure the ultrasound of the body. Beyond this vale of tears, Services of this kind are a fitting response to the requirements of the present times. They usher in the period of helpful concentration of thought that is likely to result in a fruitful harvest. They answer the question why the pews of Mother Zion Church are always filled at these services. At the close of the service three persons were received into the church.

There, they gate. Rev. Miller spoke much about Peter, and compared his life to that of the Christians of today. How that the Christians or a Christ follower comes through first one trouble and then another, and last to the iron gate. But they must not stop there; they must press forward and go on, and God will open the gate and allow them to pass on.
