Washington, D. C.—The Liberian Loan Bill, authorizing the United States to advance, $5,000,000 to the little African Republic, was effectually defeated on Monday, November 27, when by a vote of 42 to 33, the Senate sent it back to the Finance Committee.

Twelve Republican Senators united with the Democrats, who presented a solid front against the bill. They were Cameron, Capper, Fernald, Harreld, Jones (Washington), Ladd, LaFollette, Nicholson, Norris, Poindexter, Sutherland and Watson of Indiana. These men belong to what is known as the radical farm-bloc group, and their vote in this matter was a direct blow at the Harding Administration.
Failure of the Liberian Bill comes as a surprise, as the administration considered itself pledged to make the loan, and Republican leaders had compromised to some extent in its favor by accepting certain amendments that had nothing to do with the loan, but would contribute toward its passage. One was an appropriation of $20,000,000 for irrigation and lands in the West, tacked on by Senator Borah, thus securing his support for the measure.

Democrats had been filibustering against the Liberian Bill in order to prevent action on the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill, which comes next on the Semi-terial program. Southern Senators, are, of course, united in their opposition to the Dyer Bill, and some of the Republican Senators have told the President that a determined fight for the Dyer Bill will kill off everything else, but he declared that President Harding is insistent that the measure be passed. This attitude is shared by some of the Republican Senators, notably these in states with large Negro populations.
Splendid Work of Recognized
Twenty-Fourth Anniversary by Members and Citizens Rendered at Church
Splendid Work of Dr. Sims Recognized By Community
Twenty-Fourth Anniversary of Pastorate Celebrated by Members and Citizens—Elaborate Program Rendered at Church on November 24.
In 1895 Union Baptist Church was founded by Rev. Sims, holding meetings from place to place, and the pastor served the first year for practically nothing, amounting to $12 for the year. The second year it was advanced to $18. During this time, Rev. Sims was only the spiritual shepherd, but also the guardian of the church's needs. He served as janitor, caretaker and general custodian. Four years later the present structure was erected, setting 1,000 in auditorium and 200 lecture room.
Conditions in the neighborhood, known at that time as "San Juan Hill," were hard morally and physically. One of the first objectives of Dr. Sims' work at San Juan was an effort to better these conditions. Through the active efforts of the minister and the growth and development of the influence of the church, the entire complexion of the community has been changed. It is now called Columbus Hill, a name chosen to mark the departure from associations made by the malodorous San Juan cemetery. Living conditions are better and the atmosphere of the neighborhood is healthier and more palatable.
The tremendous hold which Dr. Sims has on the people of this community and the numbers of this congregation is a result of the years of untiring and unwaver effort given to ameliorating their needs and building up their physical, mental and mental deficiencies, as well as administering to their spiritual requirements. The memb ship, less than a century in 1908 now number more than 500.
For the twenty-fourth anniversary, the committee of arrangements, had invited Rev Dr. J. B. Boddie, pastor of St. Mary's Baptist Church, New Ro-

is reported that in some states, notable Indiana, the Negro voters failed to register or vote in large numbers because of the failure of Republican leaders to carry through the Dyer Bill in the last session of Congress.
The vote of Senator Watson of Indiana, opposing the bill, was a surprise but it is thought that as his name comes late on the roll call, he voted with the majority in order to be in parliamentary position to move to reconsider in case the Administration later finds it can muster more support for the measure. Senator Watson, by reason of the large Negro vote in Indiana, is deeply interested in the Dyer Bill, hoping by its passage to get the colored voters of that state back into line.
Immediately following the vote which sent the Liberian Loan Bill back to the Finance Committee, Senator Shortridge, of California, attempted to have the Dyer Bill taken up. Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, however, began to speak on Clemenceau and the Senate adjourned without voting to take up the bill. The motion will be heard.

Wounded War Object of
Interrupted Senator Hitche Demanded His Removal Defended by Sonat
(Special To The New York Age)
Washington, D. C.-Lucius Jones, a wounded World War veteran, who was with the 415th Regiment, occupied a seat in the gallery of the Senate Hall on Monday, November 27, when Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Nebraska, was speaking on utterances in America of the French General Clemenceau. The Senator spoke of alleged horrors inflicted on Germans by black troops stationed along the Rhine by the French, and while he was discussing this phase of the matter, Lucius Jones arose in his place in the gallery and addressed Vice-President Coolidge, the presiding officer, saying: "Mr. President, may I ask the Senator a question!"
The wounded soldier, who is being treated at Mt. Alto Hospital, near the city, did not know that it was a violation of Senate rules to disturb the session in any way, but as soon as attendants rushed to his side and told him of the offense, he quieted down Senator Hitchcock finished his address.
Henlin of Alabama.
Then arose Senator Heflin of Alabama, of course a Democrat. He was dramatically indignant, maintaining that a Senator had been insulted through interruption. He said white women had been expelled from the gallery and he could not see why a Negro was not given the same treatment.
Senator Hitchcock post-poohed the idea, saying that he was sure Jones had erred through ignorance, and Senator Curtis of Kansas said the colored man had desisted immediately on learning that he was violating the rules. But the fiery southerner was not pacified. He shouted, "I do not think it was from ignorance at all; I think it was impertinence."
So to pacify the fire-eating Alabamian, Jones was escorted from the seat he occupied in the gallery by one of the attendants. Up spoke Senator Reed of Pennsylvania:
"The man against whom the Senator from Alabama is protesting is a wounded colored soldier. If it gratifies the Alabama Senator, he may know the man has been removed and the Senator may have the satisfaction of knowing that he has driven from the gallery of the Senate a man wounded in the service of his country—wearing its uniform."
A. Southerner's Patriotism
But with all the arrogance of prejudiced narrow-mindedness, the brave Senator Hefin of Alabama declared: "I do not care how many uniforms he had on. He had no business to stand in the gallery and interrupt a Senator on the floor."
After the storm had quieted down, Lucius Jones, the wounded Negro soldier, was readmitted to the Senate gallery and seated where he was directly in line of the Alabama Senator's vision. He was not disturbed through the rest of the session. Jones was formerly from St. Louis and was trained at Camp Funsley. He is lame from the effects of trembler, for which he is receiving hospital

RUSH MEMORIAL BODY
CLOSES FALL RALLY
What will go in the annals of history of the A. M. E. Zion Connection is the fall rally of Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, 58-60 West 138th street, which closed Sunday evening, November 19.
A little over three months ago, a membership meeting was called. Plans set in motion for the fall rally, with which to pay off certain obligations of long standing. The work was asailed on every side with all kinds of insidious propaganda, but the faithful of the church stood firm, and on Sunday evening, November 19, when the roll was called and accounts checked up, the results showed a complete vindication of the pastor, Rev. George M. Oliver, and his stalwart band of supporters.
$4,007.02 in actual cash were raised, the largest amount ever raised in the history of Rush. When asked what he considered responsible for such an overwhelming success, Dr. Oliver responded, "Faith in God and confidence in our membership."
Every auxiliary of the church, from the Missionary Society to the Board of Trustees, did its level best and for this both pastor and officers openly expressed their gratitude, also to the public at large.
A table of accounts, showing the work done by the membership and auxiliaries, is being prepared and will be placed in the vestibule of the church.

"You know what a poor correspondent I am. You enquire where I now stand. I am not a Know-nothing; that is certain. How could I be? How can anyone who abhors the oppression of Negroes be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring 'all men are created equal'. We now practically read it, 'all men are created equal except Negroes'. When the Know-nothings get control, it will read, 'all men are created equal except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics'. When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty—to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy. * * * My kindest regards to Mrs. Speed.

MINISTERS ARE AGAINST KLAN
Dissuance Operations of Masked Organization and Deny Connection With Body
INVISIBLE EMPIRE IS DURBED ON-CHRISTIAN
Leading Clergymen of New York City Express Opposition To Plans Announced by Klan Klan Lecturer.
One of the statements attributed to the Ku Klux Klan representative, the Rev Oscar Haywood, attached as general evangelist to the Calvary Baptist Church, West 57th street, is to the effect that he plans as a part of the Klan program to organize a branch composed entirely of Protestant ministers.
This utterance has aroused the indignation of ministers in New York City of all shades of belief. In the New York World of Sunday and Monday were published statements from nearly two-score ministers, denouncing in unmeasured terms the assertions by Haywood that the Protestant clergy were unanimous in approval of tenets of the invisible empire. Haywood's statement was as follows:
"It has been seriously planned, as a part of the Ku Klux Klan program in New York, to organize here a Klan composed entirely of Protestant ministers. Already I have broached the proposition to two Protestant clergy men and they have approved and promised their support. I believe it will be successful and that we are on the eve of a great victory."
In reply to this pronunciamento of the Klan lecturer and organizer, leading clergymen of the city not only denounced the order as un-American and unChristian, but declared flatfootedly that it had no place whatever in the Christian Church. Not one minister favored the Klan. Leading white ministers voiced their opinions, and expressions from the latter part as follows:
PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL .
The Rev. John Westley Johnson, vicar of St. Cyprian's Chapel, West 63rd street—I have no sympathy with the Ku Klux Klan, which with patriotism for a cloak of maliciousness, seeks to stir up prejudice between Roman Catholic and Protestant, between race and race. To me the Ku Klux Klan is a secret mob more dangerous than the most violent anarchists; it was conceivel in fiaslace and lives on prejudice and hate. All right minded Americans should join hands and call upon our Federal Government to seek out, run down and crush this 'road of vipers'. The Rev. E. G. Clifton, St. David's Church, East 100th street, The Bronx—I bitterly oppose the Klan movement as detrimental to the Nation's welfare and unconstitutional. The rivival of the Klan of sixty-five years ago teaches the gospel of hate and of race prejudice. I was surprised the other day to be invited to attend a meeting in a Y. M. C. A. building to hear a leader lecture on the merits of the Klan. I felt that it was a gross insult and it is inconsistent to the loyalty and patriotism of an American citizen.
PRESBYTERIAN
The Rev. Frank M. Hyder, St. James Church, West 137th street—In a country theoretically dedicated to justice and fair dealing, there is no place for such an organization. No time it will be put down by an enlightened public sentiment and take its place in history along side of human slavery and other forms of social and industrial injustice. The clock of human progress has struck the hour when hooded racial antipathy must go. It is my conviction that, the growth and spread of "Kukluxism" among Protestants will be negligible.

Mayor Hylan also advises Commissioner Enright that as names of organizers and members of the Ku Klux Klan are secured, they be given to the press that "the citizens may know who are supporting this vicious and destructive secret society." Continuing the Mayor said:
Ku Klux Klan Menace
"The Ku Klux Klan or any secret society of similar character and purpose, is a menace to our city, State and Nation. The people of the City of New York will not tolerate their existence within the confines of our metropolis. Do not leave a stone unturned to ferret out those despicable, diskeyal persons who are attempting to organize a society, the aims and purposes of which are of such a character that were they to prevail the foundation of our country would be destroyed.
"I noticed in yesterday morning's World that the Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton and the Rev. Oscar Haywood of Calvary Baptist Church are alleged to be connected in some way with this secret organization. If this is so, a little police attention along this line would not be out of order.
"Go after the Ku Klux Klan and do not let them get a foothold in New York City. It is to be regretted that men of the cloth, regardless of their denomination, would have anything to do with an organization whose purpose is as vile as that of the Ku Klux Klan. These people can be dealt with under the conspiracy provision of the Penal Law of the State of New York.
(Signed) "JOHN F. HYLAN, "Mayor"
Enright Issued Bulletin
In accordance with these instructions, Commissioner Enright had a bulletin made of the Mayor's telegram and copies sent to all precincts in the city for distribution to every member of the force. In sending out the bulletin, Commissioner Enright declared that "if there is any individual or organization that thinks it is above the law, it is riding for a hard fall."
In the meantime, the southern Baptist preacher, Haywood, is defying the authorities, and in an interview told a reporter of the World that the Ku Klux Klan is "devoted to the cultivation of race pride, racial purity, religious liberty, patriotism and social ideals of Protestant Christianity," and predicted that within three years every New York Protestant Church would throw open its doors to the Klan. With reference to the qualifications set up by this order for admission into the ranks, Haywood made the following statement:
This is an American organization and
excludes certain groups of American
citizens, not because of any antagonism,
but because of the desire to bring
together these elements that will be ours.
special respecting the development of
their religious beliefs. It does not exclude
the Negro because it hates the Negro
and excludes the Catholic because
it may antagonize for the Catholic, nor
because of any race feeling,
nor does it include the foreign-born
because of any prejudice.
The Nero's Friend.
Assisting the Negro the Klan would
duty him any privilege he would
enjoy under the Constitution. It would
raise a hand against any school or
institution that the hand of philanthrop
has built for him.
The Ku Klux Klan is the Negro's island. There is not a local Klan in the United States that would refuse to stand between art accused Negro and a harrowing mob as any moment. It regulates all movements toward hawksiness, condones and depreciates lyching and all efforts of the mob to take the law into its own hands, but the organization purposes to have enacted in Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, the New England States, New York, the District of Columbia and other States legislation that will prohibit the marriage of Negroes to white people.
In respect to the alien, we believe in the present immigration law and were influential in having it enacted. Respecting the Jew, the Ku Klux Klan indulges no antipathy toward the Jew as a separate and distinctly entity in America. It does not react his presence in the midst of our complex population, nor would as deny him any of the privileges indigenous to our system of government.
The Jew and Challie.
The Jew and Theleic.
"The drift among the Jews, which is condemned by the leading Jewish rabbis of the United States, this organization will resist. Our investigations have led to discussions which convince us that be a sweeping Bolshevist and socialist propaganda in large areas of the Jewish population. We oppose movements of this kind not by understaking to build up in America a contingent in a fraternal organization that can successfully combat and overcome these tendencies.
"Respecting the Catholic: We do not oppose the Roman Catholic Church. We honor the noble natures that have been produced in its history. We accord the Roman Catholic Church the same right to worship God by their own forms that we accord the Protestant and exercise ourselves, but we will oppose any ecclesiastical interference with the Government of the United States.
Haywood declared that he was a national lecturer of the Klan organization, and that he had been sent to New York from his native state, North Carolina, for the purpose of organizing a branch here, and that headquarters would be in charge of an executive sent from Atlanta.
Activity Against the Negro.
The declaration, that the Ku Klux Klan is the Negro's friend is not borne out by information given The New York Age by a prominent Negro minister living in Georgia. For obvious reasons, this minister's name will not be made public, but his statements are authentic, to the best of our belief, and his general standing and reputation entitle him to fullest credence. According so this minister, recent events happening in Atlanta, in which proscriptive measures were used against colored citizens, were directly attributable to the Invisible Empire.
Perhaps the most outstanding case was that of Dr. A. M. Wilkins, formerly a practising dentist at Griffin, Ga, now located in Atlanta, where he is not only following his profession, but is also vice-president of a large trust company financed and organized by members of the race. This company has purchased a large tract of land located in the West End, fronting on West Hunter road. This trac was subdivided into building lots and it was intended that a high-class community of intelligent, refined colored people would make it a colony of homes.
Dr. Wilkins purchased one of these sites. But when he moved in the new home with his family, he received immediately a warning, signed with the manual of the Invisible Empire, the "K. K. K." advising him that unless he was out of the West Hunter road home by sundown of the following day and back in this old home on North Ashby street, his would be a dire fate. The Wilkins family spent one night in the new home, but were back on North Ashby street the next night.
Against Catholic School
Another instance of Klan activity against the Negro, this time coupling the Catholic Church in the movement, was the ordinance introduced sometimes ago in the City Council by the present Mayor-elect Walter Sims, at that time a councilman, which would have prohibiting any white person from teaching colored papils in any school. The antis of this ordinance, it appears, was directed against a parochial school maintained by one of the Catholic Churches in the church building basement, the pupils being colored children of the neighborhood, the teachers being priests and sisters of mercy of the church. The congregation of the church was made up of white parishioners and the Ku Khux Klan objected to a Negro school being conducted in the basement of a white church. Sims, who later was elected Mayor through his Klan affiliation, was the councilmanic spokesman
Over in Athens, Ga., located a short distance from Atlanta, many colored fergusons owing properties in certain localities, homes which they have occupied without molestation for many years, have received warnings signed with the inevitable "K.-K. K." advising them to call, their present homes and move to other and less desirable neighborhoods. One family, that of a man named White, lost courage and moved away entirely to Atlanta to live. Others, beheaded by the Rev. Dr. J. H. Horton, pastor of the largest Baptist Church in Athens, and moderator of the Ebenezer Baptist Association, held a meeting and came to a determination that they would not sacrifice homes and properties until it became certain that the better class of white citizens were powelless to afford any protection to them in the enjoyment of their right to live and have their being under conditions that had obtained for many years.
Buried Church Building.
A colored congregation over at Seonia. Co, owned a house of worship that was situated about on the line that separated the section where were located until of the houses of coured citizens from the section occupied by the whites. Because it was near to some of the homes occupied by whites, the pastor and congregation received a warning from the Kır Kız Klah that the site and building must be sold, and a church edi-
fice erected on a site more remote from the white community. This action was not taken immediately by the colored congregation, and one morning in October just passed, the church building was found burned to the ground. And then, when what were supposed to be the better element of white citizenship was consulted and advice and assistance asked for, the minister and people were told that perhaps it would be advisable that the old site be sold and the new building erected in another section. Certainly, they were told, it would not be wise to rebuild, in the same place.
Following up directions printed on the cards distributed at Calvary Baptist Church, as told in last week's Age, that recipients should "Write at once to N. C. T. Box 797, Tenady, N. J." further investigation disclosed the fact that although the box was rented in the name of "N. C. Travers," there were no citizens or officials of Tenady who knew him. But it was also found out that the box was being used by one "S. G. SMITH," who has a bungalow off Columbus Drive, between Emmond place and Knickerbocker road, Tenady. And Mr. Smith, an employee of the Consolidated Gas Co. in New York City, was well known.
And it was a part of the instructions printed on information blanks given out at the meeting that followed from invitations handed out at Calvary Baptist Church that prospective candidates, after filling out the blanks, should return them to "S. G. Smith, of 3,800 Broadway, New York, room 5." The Broadway Smith and the Tenancy Smith have the same initials, and both are employees of the Consolidated Gas Co. in New York City at 1911 Am.erdam avenue.
What Straton Had To Say.
The Rev. John Roach Straton, who is said to be a southerner, has repudiated Haywood and his Klan activities. He declared that Haywood was given a commission as evangelist of the church as a courtesy, that the position was unsalaried, and that it carried with it no authority to speak for the church. Dr. Straton said he intended asking his congregation to rescind the courtesy. In the meantime, however, Dr. Straton conducted evangelistic services at the First Baptist Church, Paterson, N. J., last week, and it is recalled that four or five weeks ago, during a Sunday service, seven Klanens, clad 'their full-brooded regalia, marched up the aisle and handed a letter to the Rev. Frank Mac-Donald, pastor, commending him on his work, and that the following 'day Mac-Donald said he was grateful to his callers, for their thought of him.
While the Klansmen were in the church, someone in the congregation sent in a call for the police, a block and a half away, but before the officers arrived the Klansmen had disappeared. It was thought that the men had robbed and disrobed inside the church building, and this indicated connivance on part of some of the attaches of officials of the church.
In another statement, Fywood declared that he had addressed the Bronx Clergy Association, with about fifty ministers present, and that most of them were cordial, though his address caused some controversy. And that another body of ministers, whose identity he would not disclose, had invited him to speak to them.
Acting District Attorney Ferdinand Petora, who is in charge of the county prosecuting force in the ab use, of District Attorney Joah B. Banton, issued a statement, declaring that "This force will cooperate with the police authorities with all the curbing of any acts of lawlessness, whether committed by an individual or an organization."
David Hirshfield, Commissioner of Accounts, said it was the intention of the city authorities to take time by the forelock and squelch the Klan by vigorous and drastic action, utilizing every available force, including the staff of the Commissioner of Accounts, if necessary, to assist the police.
State Senator-elect John A. Hastings, of Brooklyn, announced he would introduce in the State Assembly in January a bill making it obligatory upon all secret and fraternal organizations and societies to file sworn lists of their membership with the Secretary of State, the bill being aimed particularly at the Ku Klux Klan.
CONG. DYER EXPLAINS
(Special to The New York Age)
Columbus, Ohio: One of the outstanding features of the recent campaign was the appearance of Congressman L. C. Dyer of Missouri in Columbus at the Chamber of Commerce, when he used his Anti-Lynching Bill as the subject of his speech. He spoke in part as follows, the transcription of his speech being furnished by Miss Blanche M. Van Hook, 526 Boone street, official stenographer, Division of Markets, Department of Public Service;
"Nv Friends:
"As you know, I am the author of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which will be so beneficial to you. I shall tell you something in regard to it.

Teachers' Diligence totally decoupled The feature of the musicals presents bers of the faculty. As the conclusive each member of upon for a word spelling with a piece with unusual terrestrial details A choice menuing an evening of
"Africa: like every other land of continental proportions, has all types of climates, due to differences in latitude and altitude." is a statement embodied in the report of the African Education Commission just published by the Phelps-Stokes Fund. For instance, British South Africa, which is one-half, the area of the United States, is almost entirely in the South temperate zone. All the West Coast colonies have some high sections where the tropical heat is favorably modified, while the great Congo Basin has an average altitude of one thousand feet.
In further discussion on the subject the report says: "Even in the lower levels, where mosquitoes and tsete flies have been a menace to health and life, missionaries, merchants and government officials are living with considerable safety and comfort. Members of the Education Commission were repeatedly impressed by the sight of Europeans and Americans who have lived in these regions for many years. In one American mission station, just where the Congo River crosses the Equator, the Commission saw four American families with seven children, all in good health. In another station in lower Congo there were two American missionaries and their wives who have served an average of forty years in that region, notorious for malaria and sleeping sickness.
Travelers Had Good Health
"The health experience of the Education Commission is most reassuring to travelers in Africa. This party of Americans and Europeans, with one native African, traveled 25,000 miles for ten months in coast and interior regions of Africa, absolutely without illness from any African cause. The only precautions required were helmets in the tropics, daily quinine in malarial regions and boiled water where the supply was not supervised."
That the prosperity of all peoples is dependent upon cooperative relations with other peoples, and that the influence of the white rates on Africa has so far been, on the whole, good, are conclusions reashed by the commission. Excerpts from the report on the subject follow:
"Some have thought that the influences of Europeans and Americans have been more for evil than good. Some have thought that it would have been better to leave the African in his natural condition. Few have realised the importance of the movements that have been started and the changes that have been wrought. It must be stated that many mistakes have been made and many injustices perpetrated. In some sections mittes is the one who has charge of this and I went in them, of course.
When the Dyer Bill was brought before House of Representatives, it was passed by a majority. It was later referred to the Senate.
Barnyard Obstructed.
At that time, the Senate was considering the Tariff Bill, and it was obliged to dispose of it. As soon as the Tariff Bill was passed, the legislation was followed up by the Senator from California. The Democrats from Mississippi and Arkansas started to make sure that the Dyer Bill would come up. Many of the Democrats would get up and leave, in order that there would not be a quorum present when the Bill was due to come.
Some people have said that the Republicans could have passed it but they could not have done it because it was much interested in that legislation as anyone can be. The Democrats did everything that they could to keep it from passing. They did it in the Senate. They did it in the Senate. It is on the calendar of the Senate, and it is on the unfinished business of the Senate. It is the first time that the Senate has come into its next session, which will be the end of this month. Any of the colored people who vote for the Democrats will continue together in the United States.
The Republican State Convention in Ohio indoles this legislation and urges the Senate to pass the bill without delay. The Plaintiff is urging that this law be enacted. Thousands of Negroes have been murdered without cause. One hundred thousand of nothing. This has been done because the Democrats knew that they could do it and get away with it. With the state of Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, and other southern states, we cannot get justice in prosecution unless this law is passed. We cannot be indicted anybody in the counties of these states for burning a Negro. The Jury has often been threatened to be indicted for it, and we cannot get any indictment, so that line.
Action Against Offenses.
If this bill is passed, we can cause the officials, who have failed and refused to do their duty under this law, to go to the prisons and penitentiaries for bill furthers. We can also force the many county courts the tyranny takes place, just pay to the family of the deceased the sum of ten thousand dollars from the taxes collected there. In many places the money collected would be afraid to make claim to the money, for fear that the money is lynched, himself. We have provided for this difficulty by having united Government offices set up a money bank to the family of the deceased for them.
The legislation is constitutional. The
Expressure Boot will hold it so This will
be
Beguine Scott will hold it so. This will mean justice for you. You will see in true tales in the newspaper about what colored man have done in regard to stuff that is said, and it is priced in one paper and another all over the country, and thus it will be that the colored man must be a murderer or a criminal from what the papers say.
We investigated conditions very carefully, and ran tell you truthfully that not four per cent of the least remembrance of truth is there. It is not true what is said, and you know that it is not true. The whole country is beginning to know that it is not true now from the high that we are made to protest the white women during the Civil War. No where, at any time, did they mislead them.
But many others were lynched before they came based on their way from France. I was (commander-in-chief of) one of the armies, and I know where I speak.
President Will Sign Bill.
Mr. farding told me that he would sign this bill as soon as it reaches his desk, spoke to sit the thousand colored people in three large meetings in St. Louis, Kansas, then they were united together. They know that they will get protection from the police, and that they will be arrested and will protect you. We will armspread many things.
We must put an end to misrepresentations of women is not permitted to vote, then these southern councils, should not come up and say that they are representing them. We must put an end to things for your life in the poor and for your health in the poor.
If a colored man goes—has a little trouble, they will put him in jail and most him may say a his life. A white man may say a his life. A black man may say a his life and pay his life, and get out of prison. He then takes him to his form and puts him in work there. He will work there, and then he goes to work there, then he goes to work there, and then he goes to work there. If the colored man tries to be in prison, they will send him
the Africans have suffered tragically at the hands of selfish white exploiters. Evil influences originated by white people still persist in too many parts of Africa.
Gains Greater Than Losses.
"It is, however, the emphatic conviction of the Education Commission that the gains that have come to Africa through the white man are far greater than the gains. Among the most convincing evidence of this conviction are those obtained from a study of the portions of Africa now under European nations. The elements of life that affect the changes introduced by the white groups have been the improvement of physical well-being, including the decrease of sickness and death and the attendant suffering; the decrease and often the elimination of the power of witchcraft, a form of oppression exceedingly general and cruel; the overthrow of inter-tribal slavery; the development of friendly relations among tribes formerly hostile; the extension of the economic benefits of the country to all the tribes, and the opening of the doors of civilization to those who were formerly limited to the narrow compare of their tribe."
Admitting that the extension of commercial, industrial and even governmental influences sometimes have too often been attended with suffering on the part of the native people, the report continues: "The early periods of adjustment to the new forces are especially trying. But in the long run one of the best measures of the final influence of the white group upon the native peoples is the increase or decrease of population. So long as there are no records of the feelings of the native masses we must rely upon the vital measure that reflects the condition of the majority of the group, namely, the power of the group to maintain life. On this basis, the statistics of most of the colonies show a decided increase in population and, therefore, an improvement in general welfare."
Ohio Bold for Bill
Ohio stood asked in Congress and in the House of Representatives, and every Conductor Bill. Mr. Homerese has not said one word in favor of the bill. I went to him and asked him if he would give me advice to have to give it more thought and consideration. When I went to Mr. Fees, he said he would give me away. When the bill came up in the Senate, as I have read before, the Delegation said they could go for it down. They said they would go for it South. Would it get up and leave every time that Dax thought it was coming to an end, would it could always fail to be a quorum present.
Some day when this legislation has been enacted—into law and when this bill has passed, you can permit me to come back and join you in thankking to God for this bill.
You cannot put down mobs by prayer alone. We must do it with the weapon of the law.
TUSKEGEE'S HEART: WELCOME TO DR. MOTON
(Spooled to the New York Age)
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—After an absence of a little more than seven weeks in attendance upon the Scottish Church's Missionary Congress in Glasgow, Scotland, where he was one of the principal speakers in a missionary campaign extending over a period of three weeks, Dr. Robert K. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, returning home with Mrs. Moton and other members of the party who accompanied him overseas, received a royal welcome from the student body and faculty in a series of receptions during the last week.
The first reception was informal in its arrangement, but it brought together all the teachers and students in a stirring demonstration of their loyalty to Tuskegee and of the warm affection in which both Dr. and Mrs. Moton are held as leaders of the great work which celebrates here.
It happened that arrangements in New York, Atlanta City and Richmond, following immediate news of their arrival in the county, on November 15 delayed the honeymoon of the party until Monday evening, the twentieth. The first solens of welcome were extended at Chedaw as the party left the train, where a crowd of teachers, coming over in a fleet of automobiles, slowered upon hearty congratulations with gifts and affectionate greetings.
There following a procession came to the Institute as that smashed the grounds, the Institute Band struck up one of its Riveliest airs and led the party to the Baldwin Monument, overlooking White Hall Lawn, on which the whole school was massed beneath the glare of electric lights, spelling out the words, "Welcome Home!" The principal and other members of the party were ushered to the front where the vice-principal, Warren "Logan, voiced the feelings of all in a brief and ringing word of welcome, after the students in splendid chorus had sung "Loch Lochood," Iamus Scottish air. Dr. Moton responded in expressions of happiness and gratitude, for the pleasures of the trip and the warmth of the reception accorded him, and after the ringing of "The Tuskegae Song" the assembly dissolved into dormitories and homes.
The next night a formal reception was tendered Dr. Moton and the party to the founder of the Institute in this

Teachers' Dining Hall, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The 'factory' of the reception was a musical presentation by various members of the faculty.
As the conclusion of this program each member of the party was called upon for a word about the tri, responding with a varied account, replies with amusing incidents and inquiries. A choice menu was served, completing an evening of unaffected pleasure and fresh inspiration.
Following the reception by the faculty as a whole, the ladies of the Executive Council and the wives of the other members of the Executive Council took the lead in a reception and banquet for Dr. and Mrs. Moton which was held on Friday evening in the banquet hall of the new hotel, the latest adjunct to the life of the Institute and the community. With all the banqueting party treated about a great triangle, whose center, was filled with a sunken garden of flowers and ferns, the menu was seized. After the service was concluded, troops were responded to by the several members of the overseas party in which new details of their travels and experiences were related.
The picture formed in the spacious and beautifully decorated hall, with the rochestra banked behind ferns and the guests attired in correct evening garb and radiant toilette, was delightful to behold. Forty-even covers wgze laid. The evening was a fitting climax to the series of receptions accorded to Dr. and Mrs. Moton from their landing in New York to arrival at Tuskegee. "The Pride of the Swift Growing South."
WHITE WOMEN PLEDGE RACIAL GOOD WILL
Atlanta, Ga.—Another important step in the Southwide movement for better race relations was taken when eighteen representative North Carolina women met in Raleigh, N. C. on October 12, accepted membership in the State Committee on Race Relations, and gave out a vigorous declaration of their principles and purpose. The personnel of the group included outstanding leaders of the State Federation of Clubs, the State Welfare Board, and the big church organizations. After a day given to earnest study of the interracial situation, the group drafted and gave to the public the following statement:
"We are conscious of a world condition of restlessness in which race friction plays a conspicuous part. We cannot ignore the fact that this presents a problem in which the South is so acutely involved that we are conscious that the eyes of the world are upon us, questioning our course. We cannot shirk the responsibility of taking up the challenge, grasping the opportunity presented, seeking a solution to this problem and demonstrating it on our southern soil.
Justice and Fair Play.
"We believe that unrest existing between two different races dwelling side by side under the same economic system and the same government can be lessened, and eventually dispelled by a course of justice and fair play. When one race exceeds the other in numbers, in possessions and in opportunity, there is but one solution. As a Christian people we hold the elements of the solution. It lies in the cultivation of an attitude of fairness, of good will and a conscious determination to establish an understanding sympathy.
"We believe that every human being should be treated not as a means to another's ends, but as a person whose aspirations toward self-realization must be recognized; that we must cherish racial integrity and racial self-respect, as well as such mutual respect as will lead each to higher moral levels, to mutual trust and mutual helpfulness. We believe that in this process certain values must be developed and maintained.
"No family and no race rises higher than its womanhood. Hence, the intelligence of women must be cultivated and the purity and dignity of womanhood must be protected by the maintenance of a single standard of morals for both races.
"The right of childhood to health and safety, to the training of body and mind in right habits and the soul in right purposes, is unchallenged. The childhood of every race must be safeguarded.

(Br. V. P. THOMAS)
New Orleans, La.-President Harding's advisers finally got together with him, it seems, on his decision to break away from the rule followed by former Presidents from Ohio, that of fruitlessly catering to southern sentiment on the question of the Negro in politics and the Negro holding Federal office in the South.
Otherwise, it is quite probable that the appointment of Walter L. Cohen to the second highest salaried position in the Customs Division's Bureau at the Port of New Orleans, that of Comptroller of Customs, would still be a contemplated and expected event.
for 'traces move forward on the feet of little children.'
"As a foundation for social security for all races the family ideal must be made possible by economic justice, by religious action, by legal safeguards and a single standard of morals."
1Volence Has No Place.
"We believe that violence has no place where people lend their support in every possible way to the agencies constituted by the people for the apprehension, trial and punishment of offenders against society. We resent the assertion that criminality can be controlled by lawless outbreaks, and woman's honor protected by savage acts of revenge.
"We believe it our highest duty to pursue these methods toward harmonious racial adjustment.
"We believe that bitterness, resentment and strife will yield to mutual trust only as we steadfastly cultivate in both races these attitudes and this faith in our common humanity.
"To these ends we pledge ourselves."
Similar organizations of women have been effected during the last year in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Texas. This enlistment of the women is generally regarded as one of the most significant phases of the good will work that is being done throughout the South by the Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, which came into existence in 1919 and now has branches in every Southern State and in 800 counties.
DR. HIGGINS LOBES
SCHOOL BOARD SEAT
(Special to The New York Times)
Providence, R. I. Although declared elected as a member of the Providence School Committee following the count by the Wardens, Dr. W. H. Higgins of the Ruth Ward was counted out by a small majority when the State Returning Board canvassed the vote.
According to the best information obtainable, President Harding decided sometime ago to appoint Mr. Cohen, but had been withholding announcement of his action by counsel of his advisers, it is believed, until all of them saw the equity and justice, as well as the moral principle and wisdom, of recognizing party service and loyalty, where these attributes of political essence are found, without regard to race, color or creed.
The fact that Mr. Cohen's appointment was announced on Saturday before the Tuesday of the national election late to have an influence on the result indicated that it was not a play to help the party at the polls, as an earlier announcement might have been intended.
In connection with the long delay and the consequent suspense, it should be recorded that Mr. Cohen was less perturbed than any of his friends and maintained a poise that was born of assurance. The outcome was awarded to his friends with solicitude and the consummation of their hopes brought great joy to them.
Mr. Cohen has rendered service to the Republican Party that challenged the admiration of the leaders. The party organization in Louisiana, of which Mr. Cohen is secretary, and which he largely helped to maintain, is solidly behind him.
VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE
(Booklet to The New York Age)
Bordentown, N. J.—A conference of the heads of vocational schools in New Jersey was held at the Manual Training School with fifty of the leading men state vocational education present.
The conference was one of a regular series held at different schools throughout the state to discuss problems directly connected with that type of education. Principal W. R. Valentine of Bordentown acted as host to the conference, whose members commenced to arrive on the grounds at about ten o'clock.
The morning was spent by the educators in visiting and inspecting the school plant, observations being made of students in their classrooms and at their trades, as well as of the splendid modern equipment of the school.
The boys' military battalion delivered for the benefit of the visitors, and the school assembled in the auditorium to render a short musical program.
The dinner prepared by a regular class in domestic science was served in the teachers' dining room.
Among those present were Commis-
sioner Enright of the State Department
of Education; Mr. O'Leary of the same
department, and Mr. Dooley of the

LINCOLN AND THE KLAN.
Abrham Lincoln who was twice elected President of the United States, is generally regarded as the finest type of patriot that this country has produced. Whatever may have been his human failings, his quality of patriotism bore every test that peace or war could incur.
The promoters of the secret organization known as the Ku Klux Klan have interrogated to themselves the exclusive title to patriotism of the present day and haunt their barnished hammer from deserted fields as well as crowded city churches. What Abraham Lincoln thought of organizations like the Klan, was plainly expressed in a letter written by him in 1855, while he was still a lawyer at Springfield, Illinois. In it he said:
Our progress in degeneracy appears to me pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring "all men are created equal." We now practically read it, "all men are created equal except Negroes." When the Know-nothings get control, it will read, "all men are created equal except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics." When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty—to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the loose alloy of hypocrisy.
to the acute mind of Lincoln the hypocritical pretensions of such organizations as the Ku Klux Klan were the basic sort of deception. If he was living today he would not be fooled by the proscriptions of minister or layman as to the purity of the motives that activate the Klan. He would pronounce it the final stage of that degeneracy of democracy which he foresee nearly seventy years ago. Unless this progressive degeneracy is arrested the democracy of America will cease to exist as a vital force in human affairs.
THE BOOTLEGGER'S STARE.
A newspaper office is the receiving end of a great many curious communications, many of which never see the light for reasons of a prudential character, which work to the interest of the public in general. The following letter, however, seems to be in a class by itself, although the writer appended a name, but omitted his address. It was headed Things I See About Town" and read: The "Bootleggers" den can be easily located by the boldness and audacity of the "Artful Dodger," or watcher, that sits in the window, with just the top of his head showing, acclimatizing and gawking passively, looking for prohibition enforcement officers or "revenues." To be gawked and gazed at with suspicion is embarrassing and annoying to the extreme to a lawabiding citizen. Publish this by all means. J. CUSHMAN.
This sensitive shrinking of our corres-pondent from a "bootlegger's" stare appeal, to our sense of humanity and we have complied with the urgent injunction to publish his complaint. If he had added the number and street where the men is located, further relief might have been afforded him through the prompt action of the authorities in raiding the place. But evidently, whether from sympathy with the "bootlegger" or the "revenuer," he balked at going to that length.
As our correspondent classes himself as among the "lawbiding citizen" we fear that he will have to go further in his revelations of the lawbreakers' rebellion, if he wishes to maintain his right to that classification. According to his own statement he has guilty knowledge of the practice of "bootlegging" or violation of the prohibition laws being carried on at a certain locality. His duty as a lawbiding citizen is to notify either the police or the Federal authorize: of this violation of the law.
Until he does his plain duty in the premises we fear that the watcher at the window will be warranted in scrutinizing him carefully as he passes by. He may even get "gawked and gazed" with impunity.
LIBERTARIAN LOAN COMMISSION.
According to the statement made in the United States Senate last week and reproduced in the Washington dispatches of at least two of the New York battles, the term "compensation" was acceptable of whatever one construction, in the manner of the proposed loan to the Libertarian government of five million dollars, from the Treasury of the United States.
commission of some $250,000 was agreed to be paid certain premium American Negroes for their influence in lobbying this loan through Congress. The names and description of the individuals involved in these charges were given with certain details as to the circumstances surrounding the agreement.
Regardless of how much truth may have existed in this story of an alleged agreement on the part of Liberian officials to pay a generous commission to secure this loan, there appears to be an insuperable obstacle to such action in the bill providing for the appropriation of that amount: new pending in the Senate. This obstacle is found in the provision for a commission of three American officials to supervise the disbursement of this loan for certain purposes having to do with the development of the internal resources of the republic. No disposition can be made of the funds derived from this loan without the approval of the members of the American commission. That these officials would approve the diversion of over ten per cent of the loan as a commission to certain individuals for their influence exerted as lobbyists is hardly to be expected. In fact, any such action would create a public scandal.
Senator Curtis of Kansas probably spoke advisedly when he denied that any commission or bonus for securing this loan would be paid out of the money appropriated by Congress. It is altogether unlikely that Liberia would be able to raise such a sum from any other source. If any agreement of the nature charged was made, it would have to be abrogated or annulled, in view of the restrictions relating to the appropriation and the subsequent disbursement of the funds.
While considerable criticism has been aroused over the delay incurred in the final arrangements for this loan, it would appear that the safeguards added to the appropriation were not unnecessary. If the final result should culminate in such a disposition of the funds advanced as will work for the best interests of Liberia, it may prove that the delay was not unfortunate. What Liberia needs is that this loan should be used in such a manner as to promote the upbuilding of the country, develop its internal resources, improve its transport facilities and promote its industries and education. If a commission is required to do this, let a commission be appointed. But this is the only commission Liberia should have to pay.
AN ENLARGED PROGRAM
One of the results to be looked for from the drive for the benefit of the Young Women's Christian Association is an enlarged program for the work carried on among colored girls in Harlem. With increased facilities afforded for the local plant, under the stimulus of a devoted leadership of women of the race, the possibilities of this work are unlimited.
There is need for pitching this work to be done among the girls on a higher plane, so that it may be on a par with the work done at other branches and among other nationalities. It should be so broadened and diversified as to appeal to the girls attending the high schools, as well as to those less advanced in their studies. The aim should be to reach and attract the women of the future and give them such training and recreation as will tend to make them stronger mentally, physically and morally.
This work of upbuilding the womanhood of the race can only be carried on successfully in the hands of those who are in sympathy with that object. There must be a spirit of helpfulness added to the technical training required for the task. The work should not be hampered by an excess of red tape or cast from restrictions, the effect of which is often to bar those whose need of such training is the greatest.
The advantages of the training should be given to those girls who would profit by it on such nominal terms as would make it possible for the poorest parents to secure these privileges for their daughters. No girl should be turned away for lack of means to pay a tuition fee. To make this training available to the girls coming from the poorest homes should be the aim of those responsible for its management.
With an enlarged program for work, and the determination to push this program throughout the community, the organization should go far in adding to the good it has already accomplished. Such a program needs to be conducted in the spirit of true helpfulness, in the hands of devoted and sympathetic leaders. With such a combination of motive power, the vast possibilities of such a work in Harlem should be thoroughly tested. The results, we believe, would justify all the efforts put forth.
The drive will close December 4. Help it by a contribution.
The Minnesota Messenger, published at Minneapolis, sought to impress the value of banking facilities upon its readers in the following note:
We noticed many of our group among the taxpayers who were waiting at the Treasurer's office this week. They had paid carriefs and were waiting valuable time, which they could have saved by using the checking system and the mails. The same happens each month to the telephone and gas offices.
Open a checking account with a bank or use the postal or express money orders. The records are safe and valuable time is saved.
This is possible advice and we wonder
that there should be occasion for it in
such a progressive section as the North-
west territory. Judging from the number
of one of some, shall we say, some
into Time. And offered the suggestion.
A SORRY SPECTACLE.
We sat in the Senate Chamber last Friday and heard the discussion of the Liberian Loan Bill. This is the bill providing a loan of Five Million Dollars to the Republic of Liberia. We have not had the time to give much study to this question of a loan to Liberia and so we are not sure whether the loan of Five Million Dollars to that country will be for its greatest welfare or not.
As a general proposition, it is true that loans from strong nations to weak ones are always dangerous to the latter. If the United States lends Liberia Five Million Dollars, there are no present prospects, so far as we can see, that Liberia will ever be able to pay it back. The total revenue of the Government of Liberia in 1920 was about $260,000 and, the interest on Five Million Dollars at five per cent, would amount to $250,000 annually; but if the people of Liberia really want to take this loan, it is their business and they, of course, ought to know better than anybody else whether it would be to their advantage or not.
But there is another side to the question. The United States Government could very properly advance Liberia Five Million Dollars under the name of a loan but actually in the form of a gift. This it might do not only because of the historical relations of Liberia to this country, but because during and on account of the War the United States advanced huge sums in the name of loans to strong nations of Europe and we all know that these loans are virtually gifts.
This government has advanced billions to the Allied nations of Europe. In addition, it has appropriated many millions for the relief of suffering peoples of Europe—not only in the Allied countries but in Austria and Russia.
The claims of Liberia upon our generosity are proportionately as great as those of any of the European states. Indeed, Liberia was one of the Allies, for she was one of the nations which declared war against Germany.
This latter point, was stressed by a large number of Senators who are working to pass the loan and it was this point which gave rise to the sorry spectacle which prompted us to write these lines.
On the question of Liberia's participation in the War, Senator Morris of Nebraska arose and spoke as follows:
Mr. President, I am somewhat amazed and astounded that any Senator should oppose the granting of this paltry sum of $5,000,000 to Liberia for the great efforts she put forth and the great results she accomplished in winning the World War.
How soon we forget! Senators have forgotten, when we were in the midst of that terrible struggle and President Wilson was engaged in deliberations with the Liberian Government with a view to having them come in on our side, how we all held our breath and prayed that he would be successful. It was a stroke of genius on the part of our President when he undertook to perform this masterpiece of diplomacy by getting that great Government in on our side. We seem to have forgotten it, Mr. President. When those deliberations were going on, there were going up from all parts of our country hopes and prayers that he would be successful in those negotiations. The widow whose only son had volunteered to fight on foreign soil was praying that Liberia would come in. The banker in the countinghouse, in order that his bonds and obligations might be good, was hoping and wishing that President Wilson would be successful in convincing Liberia that our side of the cause was just. Not only was there great hope on the part of our people and all of our allies that Liberia would lend her wonderful power on our side, but there was great fear in the camp of the enemy that our President would succeed in getting Liberia in.
Liberia came in, Mr. President; and when the she did there was great rejoicing everywhere. Everybody knew that the issues of the World War were practically settled. They knew that in no war in history had the Liberian hosts ever been defeated, or the Liberian Navy had ever been conquered; and again the enemy shudded with fear. The aim of the German soldier became less steady. The very foundations of the German Government began to shake in fear and trembling. The Kaiser himself turned from a dark brunette to a pale blond. His hair stood on end. Rich and poor alike were rejoicing over that great accomplishment of statecraft that our President had brought about. Even the alpherd on the hills, with a heart full of rejoicing and joy, turned his face to the rising sun and cried aloud: "The world is made safe for democracy! Liberia has entered the war!"
"Sh edid not come in halfway. She put her entire army into the fray she put her whole navy against the German submarines; and it is a historical fact, Mr. President, that during that long and bitter struggle the banner of Liberia never once went down to defeat. Her soldiers were so well trained, her officers were so well equipped in military affairs, that never once was a Liberian soldier captured as a prisoner; and, Mr. President, within six months after she came into the war there was not a single, solitary German submarine in the rivers or the harbors of the great continent of Africa.
But Liberia did not stop at fighting the war. Her loyalty continued after it was over. She was at the peace conference at Versailles. It is true that at that time she was hard up; she did not have any money, and the expenses of that delegation were defrayed out of the Treasury of the United States.
Congress had not appropriated any money; Congress had not passed any act that authorized it; but, knowing the wonderful help and assistance that Liberia could be to America at that conference, President Wilson or some of his advisers took the money out of our strong box, sent it to Liberia, and paid her expenses—$20,000, Mr. President. I doubt whether our President would have succeeded in getting his League of Nations over there if it had not been for the assistance of those diplomats from Africa; and think of it, Mr. President—those dark-colored statesmen from Liberia in Paris with 26,000 good American dollars in their pocket! Ah, Mr. President, in this faraway, prohibition-afflicted land, it almost makes your mouth water! it almost gives me the hiccups, Mr. President, to talk about it.
But they were successful; and now, after all of this great assistance from this great country, they have come here and said: "We want our pound of flesh" and the cry is even made: "We cannot afford it. It will increase taxation." Why, Mr. President, can we overlook such a little obligation as that when the results of their labors have been so great? Can we forget so soon that they brought certain success out of what might have been absolute failure and defeat? And are we going now to say that we will not pay them this little sum of $5,000,000.
It is true that we have some expenses at home. We have not yet paid our soldiers adjusted compensation, but our soldiers have been waiting a good while. They are used to it. They can wait a little longer. These Wall Street bankers who will get a large portion of this sum if we pay it have been waiting some time, and they cannot wait any longer. There is but one course to take, it seems to me; and we ought without delay and without any hesitation to pass this joint resolution and open up the Treasury of the United States to that great Government over in Africa that came to our relief when our Nation's very life was in danger.
During the debate, a number of Democratic Senators expressed their opposition to this loan, but, whatever were their motives, they all confined their discussion to the moral obligation of the United States in the matter and to the financial phases of the question. It was left for Senator Norris, a Republican, to devote his time and such talent as he possesses to an ironical, satirical, economic, scowling speech at the expense of this work little nation. It was as cruel an exhibition as snatching away the crutches from a lame man and laughing at his helplessness.
When Mr. Norris began, Senators on the Democratic side and even a few on the Republican side laughed at his saliies, but as he continued, even the Senators on the Democratic side seemed to be admitted to laugh.
green mario has great gifts as a businessman
The Senator's exhibition was not only cruel but what he said was based upon untruth. Of course, Liberia's military contribution to the winning of the War was next to zero, but that does not detract from the fact that she did all that was within her power and did it at great risks.
In the debate, it was intimated that Liberia in joining the Allies and declaring war against Germany was actuated by the thought that it would be to her advantage after the war, but Liberia declared war in August, 1917, and at that time nobody could say with certitude that the Allies would win.
Senator Norris went out of his way to ridicule this little Black Republic and we have quoted his remarks in full, not only to show the maliciousness of the style of humor which he employed, but also to give colored Americans an example of Republicanism in the United States Senate today.
It is because of senators more or less like Senator Norris that Negro voters are becoming disappointed and dissatisfied with the Republican party.
The times have changed! In the days gone by, there were no Republican Senators who would stoop to indulge in the sort of exhibition given by Senator Norris and there were many giants who were not afraid to speak out boldly in defense of humanity and of the weak. We are looking to see if that breed of giants has entirely died out.
THE SOUTHERN FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER.
One day last week, the "Washington Post" carried an exclusive story which startled the country. The story was to the effect that Governor Parker of Louisiana was on his way to the Capital to ask the Government to take over the State of Louisiana in order to save it from the Ku Klux Klan.
The article stated that the Governor would say to President Harding that the courts of the State had ceased to function and that the citizens were in terror; that the Governor would ask the President to declare federal martial law in Louisiana to rescue the State from domination by the Klan. It was reported that the Governor would invoke this action by the Government under Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution which reads as follows:
ARTICLE IV. SECTION 4—The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government and shall protect each of them against invasion, and, on application of the Legis- lature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic violence.
The "Washington Post" despatch was dated, "Baton Rogue, November 18," and constituted a sensational "beat" as no other newspaper in the country carried it.
In accordance with the statement in the "Post" article, Governor Parker did come to Washington and did confer with the President, but the headlines in the "Post" had the effect of causing all of the members of Congress from Louisiana to take an attitude of indignant protest at the Governor's action and to make the traditional southern defense of their State. They declared the Governor's action to be treasonable and that Louisiana was one of the most orderly and law-abiding commonwealths on earth, etc., etc.
These protests from the Louisiana delegation in Congress had the effect of either modifying the Governor's intentions or changing them almost entirely. At any rate, in the public statements made by both the President and Governor Parker, it was said that conditions in Louisiana were not so bad after all and that the State was fully capable of handling the situation. But if that is true, why the Governor's trip with the Attorney-General of Louisiana to Washington to confer with the President? If the situation was not so bad, why could he not have communicated with the President by letter. To our minds, there is a definite attempt to hush up—but it will not be hushed. Sunday's "Washington Post" carried a despatch stating that one of the parishes of Louisiana had sent in a petition to the Governor since his return to Louisiana, asking him to invoke federal aid against the Klan.
This matter of the Ku Klux looms up as a huge, ironical joke. Two or three years ago when the Negroes of this country were crying out for protection against the Ku Klux Klan and pointing out that it was a menace to law and to orderly government, very little attention was paid to them.
The New York "World" instituted a wide investigation and an exposure of this nefarious organization which led to a Congressional investigation but, for some unknown reason, the investigation by Congress was suddenly squelched.
Three, or even two years ago, it would have been a relatively easy matter to stamp out the Klan, but the South, in particular, feeling that it was in the interest of white supremacy to have such an organization, defended it as a noble and patriotic institution.
Now, this same organization, given birth in the South, nurtured and protected by the South, has grown to be a Frankenstein Monster which threatens to destroy its own creator. The Klan has ceased to be a specific danger to the Negro but every day it is growing to be a greater danger to the South itself.

We hope the Turks will be able to hold their position.
Here again we have a demonstration of altruistic imperialism.

SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS POSING
SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS PORING
The appointment by President Harding of Walter L. Cohen of Louisiana as controller of Customs at New Orleans has led to a new series of poses and features on the part of Southern Democrats in Washington. One Washington correspondent said that the President's action had "raised theire" of the Southern Democrats in the Senate. He added:

The Senator added that if Cohen is confirmed he would be placed in charge of white men and women in the same office, "in condition which might bring about a race war in the State."
Governor John M. Parker of Louisiana, a Senator "Lillywhite" Progressive
the Ku Khux Klan, also felt it to attitudinize against the Colon pointment.

No cataclysm ensured from the appointment of any of these officials, nor any incident to their incumbency. They were appointed by President who knew their constitutional right to dared maintain them, backed by a state of like calibre. There were and gestures by the Southern Democracy in those days, but nobody was found by them.
Senator Ransdell and Governor Parker should realize that they are "old stuff."
OUR SPANISH SECTION
The readers of THE ACE have probably observed for the past few weeks the addition of a new feature in the shape of a department printed in the Spanish language. This Spanish section was inaugurated in the interest of the Hispanic-American colony of the colony race residing in the United States. This class of our population, which includes many natives of Cuba and Puerto Rico, besides those from the Spanish speaking islands of the West Indies, and the central states of Central and South America, has hitherto been without adequate representation in the racial pro
It is the purpose of this department to remedy this omission and to form a medium for the representation of the interests of the group in question, in the lines of politics, business, industry, its associations and all matters concerning its welfare. The editor of the Spanish section is Dr. Bernardo Ruiz Squares who is by profession a lawyer and by inclination a poet. Mr. Ruiz is a native of Cuba and came to the United States to learn the manner of living in the country and also to tell how the people live in Cuba. He is the author of a little volume of 114 pages entitled The Color Question in the Two Americas in which foreign opinion regarding American Negro and the difference in the outlook for the race in Cuba and in the United States are set forth with clarity and candor. He brings to the conduct of this department quality which could make it a valuable medium for racial understanding, despite the difference of language.
There is a need for a better understanding and a fuller measure of proximity between the people of a common African origin, who have become a part of the nations of the Western Hemisphere. As Mr. Ruiz tells us in his book, in the Spanish American countries, very little is known regarding ability and progress of the black men of this country. The only way to convey this information is by building up better relations between the race in the tries speaking a different language, isolation of the race in America may be broken down by surmounting the barriers of language and establishing better understanding of the accommodations and possibilities of the race widely separated conditions. Medium as the department just used in THT. Ace should prove a useful in bringing about such an understanding.
The building up of closer and intimate relations between the members of the colored race in the United States and in the Spanish American republic to the South would also help to promote the general relations between the governments and the commerce and industries of these countries. Too few Americans are properly equipped by temperament or training for the motion of trade or political relations with the Spanish-American coast. Mr. Roger Babson pointed out that for better preparation in this regard his study of commercial operations in South America. The colored Americans conversant with the Spanish coast and having the requisite technical knowledge would be in a better position to act as a link in binding together the lives and political interests of the New speaking countries with the United States.
Among the students of the high schools and colleges there is a riderable number who are in Spanish among their subjects. They have advanced far enough in the of the language, they will find matter in the Spanish section suitable to test their knowledge and to their efforts at translation. The ability of a Spanish-American rap music within the race is an event

CON MI CONGOJA
Me empheo en bucar un sitio
Donde ocular, mi congoja;
Pero no encuentro en la tierra.
Un amoroso rincón.
Y voy errante, sin rumbo.
Con mi congoja infinita.
Muy adentro del corazon.
Por eso mi triste pena.
No la puedo yo endulzar.
Porque se oculta en mi alur.
Como el aspid en la flor.
Y me produce honda herri.
Que al sangrar me da dolc.
Asi yo voy por el mundo
Lleno de tristes pesares.
Con el pensamiento firme.
Donde puelo, mi congjia.
Convertirse en ilusion.
Y do pueda yo oculart.
No stendo en mi corazon.

PULLMAN PORTER NEWS
By JAMES H. HOGANS.
Under the caption: "Wisdom from the Lips of a Recruit Fullman Porter," the *Fullman News* of November issue contained excerpts of a letter from Homer N. Hall, a summer porter and student at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., to the editor of that magazine in which he writes about the advantages to be gained by having "loyalty" in porters.
He opines that no matter how honest, industrious and intelligent the employee may be, if he hasn't loyalty those other attributes stand for naught as far as the interest of the company is concerned.
He goes on to say there is a type of porter who has the characteristics of a dog; if his master wags his head the canine follows suit. The analysis is, that whatever the boss or superintendent says is right or what should be done. That thing is quite true and proper with the porter.
He winds up by saying, "Some few old porters kick and try to crush we summer fellows. They go around swelled up like a poisoned pup exuding 'I.' 'I.' 'I.' from every pore."
Now we coincide with many of Mr. Hall's ideas regarding the benefits to be derived from 'loyalty,' and we, as well as the Pullman Company, know that 99 per cent. of the porters are loyal to its interest. As an example; put the Company and its porters on different sides of the scales of loyalty and see how it balances. As a whole, we think that loyalty and interest in business is a fore-gone conclusion.
Regarding the porter who agrees with everything the bosses say: We do not know so much about that, but experience has taught us some valuable lessons, and one which is particularly impressed upon us is that of being conciliatory. Consequently we get in the habit of coinciding with patrons, superintendents and all other bosses—whether right or wrong.
In fact, we follow the system as it is practiced—should we attempt to give too much expression to what we think is right and what is wrong we fear many of us would be making out time-slips on the form of "street and walker." Portera have learned that discretion is the better part of valor.
In reference to the veteran porters, Mr. Hall was a little too harsh. The porter has his faults, it is true, but trying to destroy is not one of them. The new porter, especially the school bus, understands him. In truth, they understand each other.
The Age Readers' Forum
Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors
"YOU KNOW ME AL."
(By WN. PICKENS.)
"Don't you remember me?" after looking you straight in the eyes for a long silent minute and, realizing fully that you do not remember him.
One of the most comical experiences a fellow has, who meets the public largely, is with people who expect to be "remembered" by him when he saw them. UNCE seven years ago in a crowd of even thousand.
When Bert Williams was in a dining air, one of the waiters came by and smiled familiarly and piped: "Hello, hurt! How you do since I seen you last!"
Williams, like many a good-natured yellow who wishes never to offend, tried to get out of it by replying: "Oh, quite well! quite well!"
"Course you member me!" continued the water, while Bert tried by trying to look as if he remembered the face and was only struggling for the elusive name "You member But you tended that big dance at the Palace (casino in Harlem, three years ago—why, I'm the man whit an takin' the tickets at the dot)."
Sometimes people, good sensible people, meet us and hold our hand while their friendly eyes pass through all the watery degrees of silent disappointment, clear on down to despair, while waiting for us to call their names. Sometimes we, poor miserable good-natured fellow, barely remember the face but cannot place it on the map of the whole earth.
The Indianapolis Freeman dealt with almost brutal frankness of the reasons for the defeat of ex-Senator beveridge in Indiana. It said:
The signal rejection of the Republican candidacy of Albert J. Beveridge for United States Senator in favor of that of his Democratic opponent, Samuel M. Ralston, at the recent election in Indiana, is a strong proof of the fact that our people are at last waking up to the vital necessity of playing politics as American citizens should.
Our people have served notice on the Republican party and they should not have done a better thing, that they have ceased being its tools, and that from hereforth, 'Vote for the man and not the party' will be the slogan of the race. This is as it should be. It is also much in keeping with Mr. Harding's not-to-be-forgetten. Birmingham advice to the effect that our people should get away from the idea of burdening the Republican party alone with their attachment and pipe dream expectations.
That such comments should be published in an ultra conservative journal like the Freeingman is significant of the political changes that have taken place within the race.
.
In reviewing the results of the November election the Navarman Journal asked what this change pertends to the party set in power. It continued.
There are many party pledges not fulfilled. There are some reversals of pledges. Important among them was the decision of the party to recognize the lilywhite element of the party in the South and to kick the colored vote out of the back door. The recent election shows that the party lost far more than it gained in this deal and the words of those who opposed the change were proven to be true. In the First Congressional District of Georgia, 500 votes were polled in the largest county of the district. This vote was split between two lilywhite factions. We are certain that there was not polled in the entire district, the 2,500 votes necessary to establish the fact that there is a Republican party in the district. According to the ruling of the National Convention if the ruling was worth the paper it was written on, there is no party in this district.
If the Republican reverses convince the responsible leaders of the party of the unwieldy of its Southern policy, as exemplified in Georgia and Virginia particularly, it will prove a needed lesson. The fatuous delusion that the solid South can be split politically by catering to racial prejudices is unworthy of
perience, therefore there is resentment on beaches. Of course, this is a condition that site will meet in all walks of life whether in the professional, business, sport or industrial held; youth and age have contrasted ideas. Porters are no different.
However, taking the letter for what it is worth, we will admire that it is a very good composition on "loyalty." Just what one would expect from a student who averages around 95 per cent in his studies; but he tried "treading" where the water is a little too deep when he expresses the porter's side of this business, not understanding the praise of the editor.

(Telegram to The New York Age)
Marshall, Texas.-The Beta Chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity at Wiley University held its seventh anniversary celebration here this week. The Wiley Chapter is the first chapter of any cojoined fraternity to be established south of Richmond, Va...
Creit for this achievement is due to the efforts of A. L. Taylor of Washington, D. C., founder of the fraternity, and to Prof. H. L. Stevens of Wiley University. Since the establishment of the Beta Chapter in 1915, the fraternity has had a steady growth and today has a roll of twenty chapters with a thousand members.

and sometimes we do not even remember the face. Once o fellow replied after a full two-minutes of such torture: "Why, you remember speaking at such and such a college (seven years before),—well, I was a Senior there and sat on a front bench and came up and met you afterwards, and I remember nearly everything you said,—I am A—,why, don't you remember A——?"
"O. I remember quite well when I spoke at the college," we dodged and lied only by implication.
Once a pompous Reverend strutted across the platform and took our hand ostentiously, and we yielded complacently, as always: "Well, well, well," said he, "of course you know me, glad to see you again,—where you been and how you been since we parted."
"Let me see—where was it I saw you last?" We were tiring.
Then it immediately came out that we had seen him only ONE time, and hardly then; for he said: "When you soople (about two years before) at such, and such a large auditorium in Philadelphia (where there were 5,000 people), I was the one that prayed,—I prayed for you that day."
"O, yes, yes—" there was a faint recollection of a prayer.
Now, we meet plenty of people who cannot call our name. What do we do? Why, we simply call our own name to them at the slightest intimation that they do not remember it, without any desire whatever to test their memory about such a small matter.

the party of Lincoln and Douglass
The Louisville Leader were so far as to term the defection of Negro voters from the Republican party in many states "The Handwriting on the Wall." It said:
As far as the Negro is concerned the administration of President Harding has been an abject failure. The promises which he so glibly made during the Presidential campaign of 1920 have been broken added to that the administration has deliberately gone out of its way to eliminate the colored voter in the South, by pandering to the prejudices of the lib-white Republican. In every state but Kentucky, even in Tennessee, the Negro went to the polls to protest against—
I the failure of the administration to pass the Dyer Anti-Laughing Bill, and thus protect thousands of defenseless black.
The maintenance of a military depot in the Island of Haiti by American marines under the sanction of the American State Department President Harding's determination to deprive the Negro of Federal appointments thereby following the policy of Woodrow Wilson.

WITH OUR GIRLS
DEAR GIRLS:
We don't seem to be living up to our resolutions do we? Why don't you you write and tell us what you are doing. The "Wonder Girls" have started a basketball team; they call themselves "The T. N. T. of the Wonder Girls," and we are planning to have a Thanksgiving party. Our bazaar was quite a success, and we certainly did enjoy working and making pretty little things for it. Did any of the girls go to Washington to the football game? I wanted to go but I could not get off from my work long enough. Since Christmas is so near I think it would be nice if the girls were to write some Christmas suggestions or ideas. I will write a few next week myself. Now about "Willhelmina" suggestions. At our last meeting I took it up with the "Wonder Girls and we all thought that "Wilhelmina" is asking a little too much from Mr. Moore, who has been wonderful to us. He has given us space for as many letters as we want to write and he didn't ask us to pay for the space. But we agreed to pay 25c a month, each girl. Now I don't know how much any of you girls have paid in but I do know
The Negro registered his protest against these things at the polls. It is a good omen for the Negro. It shows that black men and women are not a sleep, not all fooled by the honeyed words of the Republicans just before the election. It shows that the Negro has begun to think.
This is putting the case pretty strongly. Undoubtedly there was dissatisfaction, which was reflected at the polls. But why was there no protest from Kentucky?
The Kansas City Call maintains that the Negroes are right in resenting the St Louis Republican management of the recent campaign, which it stigmatized as party treachery. It said:
The Republican city organization of St. Louis, was disloyal to the Republican nominee for United States Senator from Missouri. It did not do the usual duties of an organization in arousing the public to the advantages of electing a Republican. It favored James A. Reed, the Democratic nominee. Outside of St. Louis, Brewster, the Republican, was the choice of Missouri over 11,000 votes. The usual Republican majority in St. Louis, was not only lost to him, but it went over bodily to, but it went over bodily to, but it not only voted for Reed, but it disorganized the Negroes of St. Louis who were, against him. It caused the defeat of Washall Moore, the only Negro representative in the state government. The party treachery the party can repay as it sees fit, but the damage to Negroes through it, has led to a determination on the part of the rate to exact a penalty. The race is right.
A reorganization of the party management is called for to prepare for the campaign of 1924. Unless such steps are taken speedily, it will be impossible to restore any degree of confidence in the party organization.
that I and the rest of the "Wonder Girls" still owe quite a little. I have been in the club eighteen months, although girls must realize that our letters must take up space that 25 cents a month could not cover, that is, if we paid up promptly.
Then when we neglected to write, Mr. Moore was as nice as could be to us. H wrote to us and in a nice way asked us what was the idea and what did we intend to do. Any one else except Mr. Moore would have put us out of the column. Therefore the "Wonder Girls" feel very grateful for whatever space of the paper that we can have without asking for more. What do the other girls think about it?
"BUSTER."

DEAR GIRLS:
I am just writing a few lines to keep from neglecting the column altogether. I intend to write every week but put it off until too late. I am going to do better in the future. I am going to introduce a new member next week. I had a very sweet letter from "Kid Palmer" last week. I wish some more of you would write to me. What has become of "Ethel?" I don't believe I've seen a letter from her since I come back to the column. What did you girls do for Thanksgiving? I went to Lawrenceville, Va. for the weekend, to attend a big dance, given in honor of a friend of mine who is to be married soon. I must close now to get this in the mail before it is taken up. Love to all.
I am an old member of the "Wonder Girls" Club," just have been neglectful in writing to the column. Now as I have started to write to the column you all will hear from me every week.
Your loving
"TEDDY."

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlantic City, With First-Class Teams and Grounds, Give Solid Basis for Proposed Organization
(By THOMPSON)
While the echo of the past season has scarcely shook out, many baseball fans are wondering what the 1923 season will bring, wondering what will be the relative strength of the respective clubs, wondering if the owners will furnish exhibitions that will appease their appetites for the national pastime, that have been whetted to a keen edge by their knowledge of the game and of conditions that exist in their territory. All of these, will, of course, be revealed when Father Time forces a show down, but a peep at the hand is very gratifying to the most of us.
After all, the chief consideration of the magnates are the peanut shuckers who populate the benches, while the players go through their setting-up exercise and the owner who doesn't recognize the rights of the pastelboard purchasers who produce the rhythmic clicking of the turn-tiles, might as well turn his ball yard into a cow pasture and let the players grab the "help-wanted" sheet of the daily newspaper.
We don't mind getting mixed up in an argument when we have an opportunity to drive home our point, but it takes a darn good judge to decide which is the best rooster by the length of the spur. And now the fans want to know why the Hilldale team spends most of their Sundays in New York and never show their wares at the home grounds of the Lincoln Giants. And why the Lincoln Giants, Brooklyn Royals and Cuban Stars spend their weekends around Philadelphia and never come turn their steps in the direction of Hilldale Park. In short, the fans want to see these teams mix it so that they can tell "who's who" in the East.

When the men behind the gunus gather around the tranquil, if not festive, board, if present indications do not get knocked askew, all differences will be turned out and foundations laid for a firm organization that will benefit the game from all angles.
Many natural advantages are enjoyed by the cities that will surely get representation in the Eastern Circuit. New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Atlantic City have for many years been represented by first class ball teams. Nothing is in the experimental stage; the parks are there, the patronage has been built up, and men of long experience and good repute are at the head. Weekly excursions on various railroads run from Philadelphia to New York, Baltimore and Atlantic City, insuring minimum transportation for clubs, which is one of the overhead expenses that go a long way toward sending many traveling clubs to the wall.

AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE
I. M. Weingarden, who produced "Follow Me," is presenting another clever and entertaining musical comedy at The Lafayette this week. "Keep It Up," with the same cast as "Follow Me," has been warmly received where it has been shown, and is said to be the equal if not better than its predecessor, which has just closed a two week's run with capacity audiences attending each performance. In addition to the regular show, "The Bridge of Sighs" has been added, with Miss Susie Sutton displaying her dramatic talents as the principal character, Billy Higgins and Clifford Ross are well worth seeing in any show, and are especially good in "Keep It Up." This show is being presented at this theatre this week and also the week of December 4, with matines, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and midnight shows each Friday at 11:45 p. m.
AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE
John Barrymore will be seen at the Lincoln Theatre in a characterization of Sherlock Holmes. The production is directed by Albert Parker.
The story is adapted from William Gillitte's stage play and founded on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories. Every effort was made to get an effect of absolute and intimate authenticity. To this end, many of the important scenes were taken in Limehouse, Baker street and other sections of London; Scotland Yard, St. John's College, Cambridge, and in Switzerland.
The cast is an important one. Carol Deapner, by the courtesy of D. W. Griffith, takes the role of Alice Faulkner, Gustave von Seyfertz, well known character actor takes the role of the villainous Professor Moriarty.
TURF CLUB STAGES SUCCESSFUL
HARFORD
On Sunday night, November 26, the Turf Club staged one of the most successful concerts and dances at Manhattan Casino that has been given this season. Twenty-four hundred people were present at the affair, and an excellent vaudeville concert was given with the following well-known acts as participants: Emmett Anthony, Greenelee and Drayton, Frankie and Johnny, Milinda and Dide, Leonard and Rector, Cora Green, Sturgis and Warner, and Justa and Marshall. Dancing followed the concert with excellent music by Allie Ross and his orchestra.
The Turf Club is one of the most popular clubs in the city. Its officers are: Walter Searcy, president; Julien Garret, vice-president; Samuel G. Crawford, treasurer; Jack V. Martin, corresponding secretary; Emanuel Barrick, financial secretary. Harold Parker was chairman of the reception committee, and Fred Richardson, Junie Minor, William Gorham and Stewart Jefferson the other members. Joseph R. Kemp, Ernest Richardson and Horace B. Smith were floor managers. The headquarters for the club are at 67 West 135th street.
Haines Defeats Claibin.
Orangeburg, S. C.-Haines Institute eleven of Augusta, Ga. came back strong from its defeat two weeks ago and on Saturday, November 18 defeated the Claflin University eleven oll.
This was the first defeat the local team has suffered in two years, and was in port due to the loss of their star guard, Singleton, who suffered a broken leg in the first quarter of the game.
The game was witnessed by a large crowd of friends of both sides.

"LIZA" OPENED AT 63RD ST. THEATRE
Book by Irving C. Miller; lyrics and music by Macco Pinkard; special lyrics by Nat Vincent. Entire production staged by Walter Brooks.
Cast of Characters.
At Daly's 63d Street Theatre on Monday night, November 27, Al Davis presented an all-colored musical show, "Liza," with Margaret Simms in the title role, and featuring Greccie and Drayton as the principal male characters. This team has long been one of the favorites in Keith "big time" waundeville. Dancing by both the principals and the large and well selected chorus were the features of the performance. This show is entirely different from the performance presented at the Lalayette Theatre by practically the same cast late last summer. The theme has been kept, but it has been treated in a different manner.
Thaddias Drayton takes the part of the *Dandy*, and gives a fine performance: Margaret Simms is charming as *Lisa*, and received much applause for her singing and dancing. Gertrude Sanders was popular as ever with her specialty songs. Emmett Anthony was best of the comedians, although this part of the show is some what weak. "The graveyard scene, which has been seen in three shows in New York, proved a frost. The singing of 'My Old Man' by Elizabeth Welch and Emmett Anthony was one of the hits of the show.
Among the other outstanding song numbers were: "The Sheik of Alabama" by Eddie Greenlee; "The Running Wild Blues" by Misses Sanders and Simms, and Greenler and Drayton, and chorus; and "Liza" by Margaret Simms, Gertrude Sanders and Thaddias Drayton.
The show was staged by Walter Brooks, producer of "Shuffle Along," and he is responsible for the active and well trained chorus.

On Tuesday evening: November 21, down at the Commonwealth Casino the famous Buffalo, Junior, trounced the Harlem Comets to a tune of 30-14. During no particular time of the game did the famous champ have to take their opponents seriously. At the end of the first half the score was 9-8 in the victors' favor. Gregory was not in the game, but Kirby filled his place in nine shape, Watch out Mr. Gregory! !
At St. Mark's Hall on Wednesday evening, November 22, the New York Academy girls met detract at the hands of the New York Deers, the score being 23-2. At the end of the first half, the Deers had piled up 8 points, while the Academyites had none. Sometimes during the second half, Henrietta Hopkins of the Academy girls made a basket. When this happened, the excitement became so intense that Reference Bob Donglass had to call time until the noise ceased. Caiman Bermes likely of the Academy Girls managed her team and played creditably, but her supporters were not accurate enough. It is needless to say anything of the Deers but let's look forward to the Deer-Blue Skirt game. Then the tur will fly!
On Friday evening, November 22, at St. Marks' Hall the New York Academy Girls were again dragged around in the mud, this time by the "Mysterious 5" of Jersey City. This game was exciting all the way through. The losers put up a game fight but were outclassed. Harriet Sea of the visiting team was one of the outstanding features of the game with her accurate shooting, perfect control over the ball and good sportsmanship. The score at the end of the first half was 9-0, with the New York girls sitting on the small end. During the second half the visitors scored nine points and the New Yorkers managed to score 3. The final score was 18-3. Chris Huiswool was referee.
A bunch of Jersey rooters accompanied the team over and every time the Jerseyite, scored, the rest of the bunch nearly took the roof off the house.
NEW YORK DEFENDER "S"

There will be no preliminary game and the public will be allowed to dance before and after the game, which will start promptly at 10 p.m. Excellent music will be (strinished) by John Smith and his orchestra, and "Captain Henry Wilson will be the floor manager."

The Brooklyn Celtics were defeated at Commonwealth Casino on Sunday night, November 26, in the closest game the Commonwealth has yet had. The Brooklyn team was leading in the first half, 8-4, and it was only by their greatest effort that the local team succeeded in overcoming this lead. The final score was 29-17.
During the first half, all five of the Celtic players were guarded, and they allowed their opponents to score only one field goal. In this half, the Commonwealth team was somewhat handicapped by Frank Forbes, who was a poor match for his opponent. In the second half Leon Monde was substituted for Forbes and the team seemed to become more confident. "First Leukins and Slown began to shoot," and in a short time the local team was in the lead. As the end of the game drew near, the Brooklynites grew desperate and committed innumerable fouls, but the Commonwealth team seemed to be off on shooting fouls, as they missed ten out of twelve trials.

FLA. A. M. COLLEGE TIED WITH TUSKEGEE
(Special to The New York Age)
Tuskegee, Ala. "We did not win we could not lose," is the way Coach Anderson describes the Tuskegee Fam. game. The Florida Rattlesnake, confident of victory, met the Tuskegee Tigers at Tuskegee, Saturday afternoon, November 18. With terrible losses and rattles and squirming in every direction in the Kattlesnakes, time and time again wormed their way near Tuskegee's goal only to be held for downs. The Tuskegee team, reorganized and much strengthened since its game with Pike University the previous Saturday, and showing none of the nervousness exhibited in the game at Nashville, putting up a desperate battle. The Florida team was outweighed from one end of the line to the other but Tuskegee found it as difficult to make gains through the line as if Florida's line had been twice as heavy.
With the exception of the last five minutes in the second quarter, practically the entire game was played in Tuskegee's territory. It was during this period of the game that the first touchdown of the game was made. By a series of plays, together with a penalty given the Florida boy, Tuskegee carried the ball into two or three inches of the goal line. Then the whole Tuskegee student body began yelling and pleading for a touchdown; the hard stump up a lifely air. But it was of no avail. Tuskegee found the Florida line a vertically stone wall and each time they pinned their man was thrown for a loss. At the end of the fourth down the ball was farther from Florida's goal than it was at the beginning of the first down. The Rattlesnakes then by a series of well-executed plays carried the ball bitterned twenty yards toward Tuskegee's goal. On the next play a Tuskegee player intercepted a forward pass and ran for a touchdown. A misinterpreting of signals at this time was the cause of unsuccessful pass. Tuskegee's try to the extra point failed. The first half coded with the score. Tuskegee to Florida 0.
Florida tomb-downed shorts after the beginning of the second half. Dallas the center, intercepted a Tucker for ward pass and made a spectacular run of fifty yards for a tomb-down. Hick fullback, attempted a kick for the extra point which took the air pretty but was graced by the hand of a Tucker player causing it to fall short. This ended the scoring for the game and ended Florida continually threatened the player was able to against cross the good line. Florida excelled in punting and passing, completing several passes.
cum and Jenkins. "Hop," Hubbard played an excellent game at guard, and was in a large measure responsible for the few shots the Brooklynites had in the second half. George Fial was so closely guarded that he made only one field goal during the game.
Chris Holtwood's champion Blue Belt girls scored an easy victory over the Pryor Sisters, a white team that substituted for the Manhattan Lakers, in the preliminary game. The final score was 15.4, with the Pryor Sisters making their tour points 9 on fouls. To their credit, it must be said, however, that although outweighed and fighting against a stronger team, they put up a stiff opposition until the final whistle. Although uncontrollably rough at times, the Bluebells played a consistently good game throughout.
The games were wittedness by the largest crowd that has attended basketball game at Gis' casino this season. From the Praise heard among the spectators, the Commonwealth Five is an assured success, and will have one of the largest fellow wings of any colored basketball ball team in the city.

N. Y. DEFENDER TEAM
N. Y. Rosehille, N. Y. - The latest hobby or the Oriental seems to be defeating teams, by our point. For the second time in three games they pulled the track, sending Defender's widely heralded a team team down into detaint by the score of 18-17 on Saturday night, November 25.
Going into the second half the Oriental were leading 12-7, but successive baskets by Tornell, Anderson and Lowry together with the sole shooting of Lowry and Butler, soon cut down the home boy's lead. But the Speed Merchants were equal to the task and baskets by Tornell and Gaynor carried them to victory.
Each team scored four field goals, but the total shooting of Garcia, who shot 10 out of 17, exceeded that of Lowry who scored 7 out of 13, and Butler, who scored two out of three. The work of both teams was commendable. Garcia was probably the best offensive man on the court and James the best defensive player. The game was played under amateur rules, with Joe Grant refereeing and "Dutch" Huiswoud on the side lines.

The running days of Earl Johnson, who held the national championship title, and the only coloré man to hold a long-distance running championship, seem to be about over. On Saturday, November 25, he dropped his second title to W. Ritola of the English-American Club in the national senior cross-country run, held at Van Cortlandt Park. Several weeks ago, Ritola defeated the colored champion in the national ten mile race, but since that time Johnson had won the Allegany cross-country championship, and was favored to retain his national title on Saturday.

Have you visited Halem's new hotel, the Hotel Dumas? Although the outward appearance of what was the Devan, 205 West 135th street, remains the same, a new hostelry, the Hotel Dumas, at this address, is a better and much finer place.
The interest of Charles Devan and Frank C. Fane, who opened the Devan eighteen months ago, has recently been taken over by a corporation for the purpose of conducting the finest hotel business operated by Negroes in the city. The entire five story building has been overlaid and repainted, including the forty guest rooms, the private dining room on the second floor and the large public dining room on the main floor. The rooms are fitted with electric lights, with steam heat, and baths on every floor. All are comfortably and neatly furnished.
The large dining room, accommodating more than two hundred people at one time, is becoming popular for the entertainment it offers its patrons in the evenings, as well as for the high class meals it serves. Sam Green is director of the orchestra, and Miss Evelyn Johnson heads the entertainers in the dining room from ten to one each night. The new proprietors have secured the services of three of the best cooks in Harlem and are now making a special effort to have the meals the best that can be bought. The private dining room is used for wedding parties, theatrical parties, etc.
William E. Booie is president of the corporation and Frank C. Fane is secretary-treasurer. They employ a total of twenty people.

Services at Fleet Street Church were unusually high on Sunday. The pastor had previously announced the event. His theme, "Rejected of the Lord, or Why Saul failed," was a wonderful exposition on the anointing of Saul. Dr. F. M. Jacobs was presented at the close of the service and spoke in various parts, the body where he had recently visited, attending the annual conferences of no less than six districts. Dr. Jacobs is a formidable candidate for consideration of the next general conference for bishop. He work in the church during thirty years of active service, during which he brought things to pass in every charge, is a worthy commendation of his candidacy. The Sunday-school and Christian Endeavor Society were well attended and held interesting sessions.
