One of the Outstanding developments following the fire was the action of the Banker's Fire Insurance Co. of Durham N.C. owned and controlled by Neptune, and one of the heaviest holders of fire risks in New Bern property. Balancing the suffering that must ensue following such widespread destruction the Banker's officials had representatives in New Bern on Monday morning, December 4, three days after the flames had scorched the city, and waiving all formality of proving losses immediately began to adjust and pay claims. This was through Monday and Tuesday, and until about 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, when about $20,000 in claims had been paid. The unfortunate reaction made it necessary for the Banker's Fire to postpone further payments. At that time a notification representing other insurance Dr. Moton Makes Tour Through G White and Colored Citizens of Tuskegee Head Preach Do Will to Promote Be (Special Correspondence) Columbus, Ga.—The good-will tour through Georgia, on which Dr. R. R. Moton principal of Tuskegee Institute, started at Atlanta, November 27, was brought to an auspicious ending at Columbus Sunday, December 3. It was the most successful, and in some respects the most remarkable tour ever made in the South. The Moton party traveled in a Pullman car. All the meetings were large and participated in by both races. In every town the welcome and introduction addresses were delivered by leading white citizens, usually the Mayor, Superintendent of the Board of Education, and a business man, oftithes a banker. White people sat on the platform and in the audience. Among the towns visited were Atlanta, Athens, Wayneaboro, Savannah, Albany, Americus, Fort Valley, Mason and Columbus. Dr. Moton also spoke from the Pullman car and went by automobile to make addresses in the rural districts. The local colored delegates vied with each other in the respective towns in entertainment of the members of the party. Dimers and bussards galore were given in booth of Dr. Moton and three accompanying him.

Acted to Relieve Distress. This was impossible, as most of these other companies could not get adjusters and accountants on the ground to handle the claims until the week following. Realizing the tremendous proposition brought into being by the big fire, and in order to work in harmony with the other insurance companies, the Bankers' Fire agreed and stopped payments of losses until such time as the other companies were prepared to handle their affairs. It was tentatively agreed that this would be during the week of December 11. The Bankers' Fire, in thus promptly adjusting and paying fire losses, was not acting with any thought of being the first company to settle its claims, said one of its officials, but had in mind solely the relieving of suffering and supplying necessities for those who had lost everything in the awful conflagration.

HOFFMAN MOVES IN HERBERT DENT CASE Attorney Herman Hoffman, 233 Broadway, who is voluntarily giving his services in the matter of investigating the alleged beating to death of Herbert Dent, a young Negro, in the West 135th street station house; where he was being held for examination, has not relaxed his efforts in the matter. He has been awaiting action by the District Attorney's office, following the production before Assistant District Attorney John R. Hennis of a witness, a young white man named Buckley, who testified to being present when Dent was beaten to death, and who gave to the county official an account of the occurrence. This witness was heard on November 1, since which time Attorney Hoffman has been waiting action by District Attorney Banton. On December 7, Attorney Hoffman wrote to Mr. Banton as follows: "Dear sir: On November 1st, last, I produced before Mr. Hennis, one, Huckley, who was an actual eye witness to the brutal assault committee upon Dent in the 135th street police station which resulted in his death. This witness was examined several hours by Mr. Hennis who promised to take the matter up with you for early disposition. "I have heard nothing since that date and I will be glad to have you advise me upon your return to the city, which I understand will be on Monday, what determination you have reached with reference to taking action as a result of the evidence above submitted." SEN. EDGE DENIES OPPOSING DYER BILL (Special To The New York Age) Montreal, N. J.—An aftermath of the recent effort to have the Dyer Antilynching Bill favorably acted upon by the United States Senate was the circulation of reports that Senator Edge had lacked interest in passage of the Bill. As a result, the Senator wrote the following letter to James E. Sadler, North Fullerton avenue, who is chairman of the Colored Republican Council on the Fasst county. "Any stories that or have been circulated as to my non-interest in the passage of the Bill are not only untrue but surely must have been circulated with deliberate malicious intent. I have both on the public platform and in letters iterated and reiterated my conviction that the Dyer Antilynching Bill, or a bill providing similar provisions, should and must be passed by Congress. How can I make it more specific? I always try to have my position clearly understood." POLICE AND BONDSMEN (Washington, D. C.-Proof that the police are smarring under the pitless publicity given the vicious and unlawful practices of certain professional bondmen and the blue coated police allies by Royal A. Hughes, president of the Washington Lawyers' Association, and Armand W. Scott, was presented to Judge Hardison in Police Court in the shape of the battered head of one Harry Boyd, arrested on mistaken identity, a former sergeant in the quartermaster's detachment of the Second Division, A. E. F., in France. It had been called to the attention of the Court by Attorneys Hughes and Scott that there are certain professional bondmen who work in connection with the police, and when a man is arrested, he must take the bondmen offered to take the police, they are clubbed and beat up. Harry Boyd, who is still suffering from being gassed, when arrested asked that Lawyer Armand W. Scott he notified, and that was told that they had stopped sending for lawyers, and when he insisted that he wanted his lawyer notified of the fact that he had been locked up, he was dragged from his cell by two policemen and unmercifully beaten with clubs. When he appeared in the police court his eyes were blackened and his head showed several bumps. The case against him was dismissed.

SETTLEMENT HOUSE MANAGER DRAWS LINE The southern born white woman who is manager of the eating department of the Henry Street Settlement at 97 Park avenue, the long-established center of social service activities conducted by the well known Miss Lillian D. Wald, put a crimp in the plans of members of the board of directors of the Urban League when she objected to their having luncheon in the Settlement dining room because two of the participants were colored. And Miss Wald upheld the woman's action. Messrs. Baldwin and Holden, white, with Mr. Hubert and Dr. Witers, colored, had planned to have a conference on Urban League matters, and these plans included lunchroom at the Henry Street Settlement dining room, 97 Park avenue. When the woman manager of the eating place learned of it, she put her foot down in the most emphatic way, declaring she would not permit Negroes to be waited on in her dining room. Protests made to Miss Wald had no effect, as that lady permitted her subordinate to control the situation. The conference was held but it was lunchless.

Ridley of Chicago, to which thousands of colored citizens of Harlem have subscribed to membership. It is generally alleged that representation had been made that the colored organization was acting under dispensation from the Loyal Order of Moose, of which a Federal cabinet officer is the head, and which carries close to a million members, and that the Ridley combination was an off-shoot, duty authorized and fostered by the original Moose, with a view to extending to colored desirants an opportunity to become members. This impression was generally bruited about and several thousand colored men and women became members at a nominal consideration of $150 per capita. It is said that there were other lodges of colored Moose located in Chicago, III, Norfolk, Va., Atlantic City, N. J., Newark, N.

Interviews with residents in the neighborhood of the Harris residence have resulted in the discovery that there is a feeling of intense bitterness against Mr. Harris, the charge being made that he virtually railroaded his young daughter to the King's Park institution, which is quite a distance from Brooklyn, and inconvenient of access.

Kimmer street, Brooklyn, to the King ution for the insane, discloses a num- ents. kimer street and Schonecky avenue next door to the Harris home, told an interesting story of the happenings of the morning of September 13, which alleged to be the day on which Mrs. Harris was taken to Kings County Hospital by orders from her father, the thinking all the while that she was an ordinary automobile ride. Mrs. LaTour states that on this morning Miss Harris came hurriedly into the store, clad in a thin silk kimono, over her underclothes, which was considered torn, and asked Mr. LaTour, who was alone in the store, as to the whereabouts of Mrs. LaTour, who, at the moment, was in the rear of the building. He dishevelled appearance attracted Mr. LaTour's attention, the more so as Mrs. Harris was always exceptionally careful as to her personal appearance. As swerving her question concerning Mrs. LaTour, Mr. LaTour at the same time suggested to the young woman that she was hardly presentable and advised she return to her home. This Miss Harris did. Screams Arouse Neighborhood. A few minutes later the neighborhood was aroused by agonizing screams coming from the Harris home, a woman voice crying "Munster! Murder! Mother!" Mrs. LaTour had come back into the store and on hearing the crushed out to the street and into Harris home, accompanied by a wid man named McCone, employed in a stall located on Schenectady avenue, Mrs. Herkimer street, who had also been traced by the screams. Mrs. LaTour declares that when she and the man entered the house, she found "Ollie," as Miss Harris is called by her intimates, in the grasp of her father, who, it is alleged, was apparently attempting to throttle her. The woman clothed, says Mrs. LaTour, as she LaTour had described her cousin, who Mr. Harris was dragged in an unmanned and trousers. But the trousers off alleged, were dropped down around ankles, and the first act of McCone, entering, was to catch Harris and put his trousers up around his bare legs on middle. In response to Mrs. LaTour's questions, "Ollie" is alleged to have made the most serious charges against her father, referring to him as to an other personage of whom she was dead afraid, saying that Mrs. LaTour would never believe the character of the actor made upon her. The girl says Mrs. LaTour, was cold and shaking her fright, and begged not to be left alone in the house with her father. Her cousin, married, lives in the house, he had previously gone out with her young baby. She Leaves Home So, in response to the girl's pleading Ms. LaTour says she assisted in getting her clothed and then accompanied her a neighbor's house, Mrs. Winter, when the girl felt she would be safe and cool rest in quiet. This friend was out, but she seen down the street, and "Ollie ran to join her. Learning of the experience through which "Ollie" had passed, and neither Mrs. Winter or the girl having any money with them, Mrs. Winter went to a neighbors and borrowed a quarter with which the girl payed on fare down town a ways, going to the home of Mrs. Dahney, mother of Mrs. Mabel Dahney, another friend, when she was put to bed to rest. And it was from this home that "Ollie" was taken, later in the day, on when she thought was an auto ride for the benefit it might be to her, but it was a ride that ended in the King's County Hospital. It is alleged that when she was taken out to ride, Mr. Harris reected the plans, but remained invisible so far as his daughter was concerned. After being kept at the city institution for a week, Miss Harris was removed to the Kings Park State Hospital, on Long Island, where she has been even since. Another friend, Mrs. Hattie Whittle who lives at Fulton street and Albany avenue, learned of the commitment of Miss Harris to Kings Park instituting some time after it had been made. She believed that her young friend was being restrained without justification and took steps immediately to interest some of the organizations formed to handle cases of that nature. An appeal to the Big Sisters, says Mrs. Whiking, brought no response. So Mrs. Whiting began to get busy on her own account. She made a call upon District Attorney Ruston, laying the matter before him. She had also, in company with her sister, Miss Fannie Yancey, called upon Rev. J. B. Adams, pastor of Concord Baptist Church, to which congregants Miss Harris belongs, and who, it is alleged, had consulted with Mr. Harris concerning the sending of "Oilie" to asylum. Vistore Barred m Arytum Securing an order of admission from Mr. Ruston, Mrs. Whiting made a long trip out to King's Park to a Min Harris. Here she found that Mr. Harris had given orders acquiring a daughter from visitors, and instructing that she was armed with a District Attorney's order, first枪入 case and then another was put forward delaying her access to the prison, and just within a few minutes of time. destination of the only available train to the city.

In Tour and another neighbor, Dr. Bradley, had previously visited Lumpkin. Park, and had better success in obtaining access to Ward 6, where "Ollie" appeared. It appears that the sequencing order were given by Mr. Harold. We learned that those women had visited his daughter. Mrs. Adelle Carter of 16-A Dewey glen, Brooklyn, conducting a beauty courter at 81 Troy avenue, also a friend of Mrs. Murray, secured from Mr. Harri- s a permit to see "Ollie" making the trip work; there on Sunday, December 3. Mr. Harris went out, the same day. Whether purposely or by inadvertence, however, Mr. Harris gave Mrs. Carter strong information as to time the special Kings Park train, running only on Sun- day and at reduced rate, would leave the Flatbush avenue station. She got lots, but would not be out. She found that a later train would take her to a nearby point, and at that point she hired a taxi and drove the remainder of, the distance to the state hospital. Exhibiting her permit in the office, she was given a pass to the ward, where she found Harris with his daughter. After a while, the nurse, according to Mrs. Carter, came to Mr. Harris and asked him, in a most insolent manner, pointing to the visitor, if he wanted "that woman" to see his daughter. As he had given Mrs. Carter a written permit, he could hardly help affirming it. Nurse Was Insolent. Then Mrs. Carter spoke and declared that she was duly admitted on a pass but the nurse demanded to know why the permit had not been shown to her; being informed that no one had asked for it, she insultingly declared that it should have been handed to her when the visitor arrived. Notwithstanding this unpleasant experience, Mrs. Carter remained and had a talk with "Ollie." It appears, from statements made by these visitors, that Miss Harris is not being provided for in a manner that will make for her comfort. In a telephone conversation with the author of The Age, Mr. Harris last week suggested that women friends of his daughter, instead of trying to get her out, might help more by taking out clothing, fruits, etc., for her. When told of this suggestion, some of the women declare that Miss Harris, if permitted to have her own wardrobe in its entirety would be amply supplied with garments. Nowwithstanding that she was always neatly and tastily dressed, turning herself out nicely at all times, some of the friends of Miss Harris do not hesitate to make the charge that she has not been allowed to have her clothes. Some go even further and allege that others are wearing the clothes left at home by "Ollic." One visitor alleges that at the time of her trip out to Kings Park, the young woman was wearing shoes with holes in shoes which necessitated layers of paper in the shoe to keep her foot off the ground. Hospital officials, in response to telephonic requests, say that the girl's condition is unchanged since coming there. District Attorney. Investigates. An-Age representative called on District Attorney Roston and inquired as to the status of the case so far as his office was concerned. That official referred the inquiry to Chief Clerk Birdstye, who courteously went over the entire matter with The Age. He told of Mrs. Whiting's bringing the case to attention of the District Attorney, and of the filing of a written statement by Miss Olivia Harris, in which a definite charge of the most serious nature was made against her father, George H. Harris. He also told of a letter which had been written Mrs. Whiting by the Rev. J. B. Adams, of Concord Church, asking her to drop activities in connection with the case of Miss Harris, making a promise, if she complied with this request, to see that Olivia was returned home within twenty-four hours. In addition to these exhibits, Mr. Birdseye told of two separate and entirely unrelated examinations which had been made at request of the District Attorney, that he might have a knowledge of Olivia's mental condition as a basis upon which to predicate action. The first examination was an official one, made by Dr. Garvin, head physician at the Kings Park Hospital. The second was made by one of the most prominent ailemists of Brooklyn, at the personal request of Chief Clerk Birdseye. Has Dementia Praecox These reports, declared Mr. Birdseye, comitted in their essential parts, both finding that Olivia was decidedly deranged mentally, suffering from a well-developed case of dementia praecox, developing a series of hallucinations, the most prominent one being expressed in the idea that she has contracted a marriage by radio with a certain individual, whose name and address she readily gives. Strong dislike of hospital officials is expressed by her because she believes that they are holding her in constraint to prevent the consumption of her imaginary marriage vows. Because of the unfavorable reports made by these aliens, say Mr. Birdseye, the charges made by Miss Harris have no value from a legal standpoint, and as a consequence the officials' hands are tied. "We are up against a brick wall in this case," said Mr. Birdseye, "as long as the girl is declared to be innae." According to this official, the medical authorities say this ailment is progressive, though patients sometimes live for years, and years in that condition. Notwithstanding this turn in the case, of the folks who have become interested in the case express a determination to continue their efforts in behalf of their young friend, "Ollie" with a view to at least securing alleviation of her present plight by, if possible, helping her removed from the state institution to some private sanatarium, more comfortable in appointment and more comfortable of access. Notwithstanding the reports of the biologist, Mrs. Carter affirms that in her conversation on Sunday, December 3, Miss Olivia was perfectly sure and rational, conversing calmly and intelligently during the entire period of her visit, exhibiting no sign of mental stress save a natural dislike to being confined and expressing remorse toward her father, who was held responsible for her present plight. When Mrs. Carter was leaving, Miss Harris was in no way persecuted or distracted, saying good bye to the most normal manner. According to the Report of the African Education Commission to Phelps-Stokes Fund Educational and Religious Problems Will Be Solved By it That Liberia's future seems to depend on the proposed American loan is an observation made by the African Education Commission whose report has been published by the Philips-Isoches Fund. "It is generally agreed that the successful administration of this loan will solve the serious problems confronting Liberia and make possible the extension of educational and religious facilities for the development of the Republic," says the Report. Some facts contained in the report about Liberia are: That the Republic has an area of 45,000 square miles which is equal to that of the State of Pennsylvania and but little less than the area of New England. Its coast line is 350 miles long and its jagged interior boundary runs at a distance varying from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty miles from the coast. Liberia's native population is estimated at between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000. The coast groups, which have attained various degrees of civilization, are estimated to include from 30,000 to 60,000 persons of whom probably 30,000 may be said to observe European American standards of life. The American Liberians probably number about 15,000, and the white population includes not more than one hundred persons of European and American origin. Differences Between Peoples. The significant elements in Liberia are, first, the emphatic differentiation of the interior masses of the native peoples from the small groups of American-Liberians and native peoples associated with them in a series of settlements along the coast; second, the economic possibilities of the country, and third, the present form of government, together with the forces, historical and otherwise, that have contributed to the present condition and the possibilities of Liberia. Since 1822 America has shown varying attitudes toward Liberia. "The result of American attitude has been that Europe regards Liberia as practically a protectorate of the American Government," it is pointed out by the Commission. "On more than one occasion this interpretation of American interest has probably saved Liberia from catastrophe threatening its existence." In the opinion of the Commission the most important element in the future possibilities of Liberia is the native group, variously estimated at from one million to two million. The general condition of this group ranges from barbarianism to the higher forms of primitive society, with a negligible few who have attained simpler forms of civilization. As neither the coast government nor the missionaries have exerted any appreciable influence upon the natives, they are living according to the customs of their tribes. The chiefs exercise authority and enforce order to suit their own purposes and to carry out tribal traditions. The situation has been modified only by the spasmodic efforts of the government to collect taxes and draft soldiers, though in the past two or three years the government has been able to exercise this authority with more success, than formerly. Mohammedaniam Prevalent Mohammedanism has gained a strong foothold in Liberia, and the Commission learned that Christianity has evidently had practically no influence in the interior of the country. Monrovia is both the political capitol and largest town of Liberia. It has about 4,500 inhabitants, of whom 1,500 are natives of the Kru tribe, who live according to her native habits in an adjoining settlement. Monrovia is located on a peninsula. The four or five important streets of the town run parallel to the hay for a distance of five or six blocks. It is on the inside of the warehouse and jail complex is Water street, a narrow way paved with cobble street. Many of the buildings are low sheds in front of which vendors sell vegetables, fruits, candy and other small wares. This street also contains the post office, the custom house and a number of small stores, some of which are well constructed. The second street, slightly elevated above the level of the first, is known as Front street, on which are located substantial buildings of the Bank of West Africa (British), the Elder-Dempster office and Faulkner's Hotel, owned by an American Negro. The third is Ashman street, which contains most of the important buildings in the town, including the homes of the representatives of the American and European Governments, the buildings of the American Methodist Missionary, the Executive Mansion, offices of the War Department and the Court. The last is Broad Street, on which are located the hall in which the Legislature meets, three or four churches and a few residences. Fail to Utilize Resources The report says further: "The present condition of the country as well as the conception of the government and life all indicate the failure of the Americo-Liberians to recognize the importance of the agricultural, industrial and commercial development of the country. The observer obtains the impression that the great economic movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries seem to be unknown in Liberia. There has evidently been no effective interest, in highways, railroads, telegraphs and telephones, agricultural and industrial development, and many other activities now under way in every African colony visited. "The economic possibilities of Liberia are very great. Nearly all of the 45,000 square miles of land is believed to be suitable for cultivation. The country is drained by an annual number of streams. The land is rolling, and in the interior sections has an appropriate elevation of one-thousand to two-thousand feet above sea level." "There are extensive forests and considerable evidences of mineral resources. American officers state that mineral and precious stones are known to exist in Liberia, including petroleum, gold, diamonds, asbestos, coal, mica, aluminum and iron." SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1922.

After the discussion had eliminated down to a drew, one of the party asked another, who is the parent of a very promising younger who had kind of a sister. He had planned for the boy: "No, he would quickly," that of a doctor, adding "he'll get the administration of his administration our people who do not be animals." He had the position of the quizzicist as to the reason for this unusual opinion. He said: "The profession of doctor, no matter what classification people capital or medical is reversed and disliked by the average. Negative: not considered to any one class group or body, but includes such influence as the press, the pulpit and society in general." He said: "I am going to begin with the process: let there be a meeting or gathering of reporting magnitude, and you will observe those conspicuously mentioned will be Drs.

C., appeared the following story of Southern inconsistency: One of our professional young men in one of our South Carolina cities went to the city building committee a few days ago to obtain a permit to erect a dwelling. On presenting the permit to the young man, whom the committee let pass as white, not knowing that all the blood in his veins was not "white," they reminded him: "Remember our gudge. You know we white people have pledged to give all of our labor to the white carpenters, except such work as a white man will not accept." At this juncture, the white colored man left, Kiying explained on what side of the fence he belonged. But this past week a white man in upper South Carolina was arrested with a truck load of colored laborers en route to some part of North Carolina and was heavily fined for transporting labor of the State of South Carolina. Conditions get like this it becomes a glaring paradox; they don't want you to go and they don't want you to stay. This illustrates the conspiracy to exert an economic pressure to keep the Negro from bettering his condition through the occupation of skilled labor and at the same time prevent his going elsewhere. That delegate to the Moscow meeting who alleged that slavery still prevailed in parts of the United States was not without warrant for his assertion. Referring to Education Week, which was observed December 3 to 9, the St. Luke Herald, published at Richmond, Va., said: Education Week should mean much to the people of this city.

Mr. Henning has written The Ack as follows: November 7, 1993 Non. Fred R. Moores Editor, The New York Age. New York, N. Y. by Moores: Replying to your recent inquiry, regarding "The Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Moose" and its relation to the Supreme Order of Moose, known as the Supreme Lodore of the World, Loyal Order of Moose, I beg to say it is no relation between them whatever. The Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose, was organized in the year 1893 and is always been exclusively an organization of people of the white race and people not married to anyone of any other than the same age, my attention was invited to the fact that articles of incorporation had been filed in Illinois by Dr. R. A. Willis, of Chicago, incorporating the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Moose. I wrote to Mr. Riley, the only one of the articles, advising him as to the articles, inquiring as to the purpose of tight organization, and advising him as to the purpose of Moose; that if the intention was to operate a fraternal society under that name, he would have to resort to legal steps before he received a reply from Moose this day. I have read the article of incorporation, and have been informed that there is no need for there to be any security to them understaff the organization of a (free) company in a Burgundy, Lodge of leaders in all靡雅, officer in fifteen or something else. I have heard heard that those together have been very successful in generating huge revenues here, and appropriated our our various funds, any amount and their various uses, in this in lieu of their own money, from the regular array of funds, to the WITH OUR GIRLS In a Communist Crowd.

Fifty years ago I was woven on the loom of a little shop in Lyon, France, and I was a thing of beauty then. They shipped me to America to be made into a wedding gown for a shy little New England maid. Her eldest daughter wore me and her grandchildren cut me up into doll clothes and now here I am. Well such is life!" "Exactly," said a rusty deep iron frying pan, lying, leaning against broken spokes of a wagon wheel. "I went along with a young man struck with the gold fever to California in the rush of perspective of what other important visitors there may be present who are making this their first appearance at his church.

"Oestomees, I love my Boy, and like all other parents, I want others to love him as well; that is why my son shall be a doctor." One of the party wanted to know the psychology of this information: was it due to the doctors' scientific knowledge, their affability, or what? Another suggested the idea that perhaps it is an interest to love the hoodoo or which doctor handed down to us by our African for-fathers. Frequently, not to take any stock this my medical administration and reliance which our medical practitioners are supposed to wield and inspire. If there is such a thing as leasing toward one vocation more than any other is is due solely to the fact that the Negro has made great progress in medicine than any of others. It is not a question of the same type. We are wrong, but that is our idea. However, we are also inoculated with the germ that we are very fond of the doctors. offer; and, third, an awakening of the people as a whole to the necessity of educating the youth for that broad vision which is the heritage of each and for that large service which each owes to humanity. Every week should be Education Week, so far as the race is concerned. Parents should never relax their efforts to make sure that their children utilize all the means of education open to them. According to Prof. J. B. McPherson, who is a farm demonstration agent in Alabama, as quoted in the Birmingham Reporter, this work is proving a great success in more than one war. He said: "The result of the farm demonstration work and the practical application of the progressive ideals has been the promotion of friendly relations between the white and colored people. The work that the people have done in improving corn yields, increasing the fertility of the soil and improving live stock, building school houses, improving churches and improving hope life, has won for the colored the respect and good will of the white people. The whites are friendly towards groups of colored, whereas, formerly, they were friendly to individual Negroes. I often meet white friends who give me a cordial welcome and speak of the good work that has been done in Randolph county among the Negro farmers. I hope this work will always be kept up. Unless we continue to supply strong, efficient and intelligent leaders we cannot keep up the standard that has been set." The importance of the farmer as a producer and the need for encouraging the improvement of farm life and methods have been frequently emphasized. If the results from demonstration work are so apparent, its utility would seem to be established. Better farmers, better crops and better race relations are much to be desired. 49. Sometimes he used die, to cook his meals in and again he used me to pan gold in. Years after he struck it rich. I was hung in his den and he used to point me out admiringly to his friends.

"I was one of four which adorned the feet of the fastest horse that over ran at Saratoga. When he ran it seemed as if he was on wings and his heels shone like silver as they flashed in the sunlight. My usefulness was short lived for here I am." At that moment the owner of the place said to a half grown boy, "John, seperate that hush over there in the corner and that'll be all for the night." DEAR GIRLS: I know you are as busy as can be making beauties for Christmas and getting your stocking ready to hang up for Santa, now remember, we are still "Kids," and there really is a Santa, now isn't there? Well, girls, we have certainly broke the resolution we made when Mr. Moore was so kind as to give us another chance. Yet I cannot complain, but I always send in a letter every month, and if every girl would write once a month, just think what a jolly column we would have every week. "Buster," I am glad you discussed my suggestion with your girls. After I had made the suggestion, I thought of the same thing. But you see I love my column so much and I'm always ready to help build it up, that I sent in my suggestion before I thought of how kind Mr. Moore has already been to us. I am glad, also, "Buster," that you explained the small fee of 25 cents to us, as I have never clearly understood it myself, although I have sent it in. And I think some of the girls are like myself, especially the new ones. Perhaps that is why some of the girls are a little slack in writing. But this fee is not compulsory, and if we haven't got it, send the letter on and send the 25 cents when you can. In my suggestion for December 23, I asked all the girls to send in one subscription to The Age, and many of the girls have promised that they would Now I am asking all that did not get to because I don't know your address. Please send in one subscription to The Age. Now girls, this will be a good way to get The Age in some girl's home who has not heard or read of our column, and this will help build up our column. And perhaps out of all the members there will be a faithful few who will not let our column go down. I am always with you girls in any effort you may not forth. HELLO GIRLS: I'm like the proverbial bad penny, always turning up. At our Y, W, C, A three is a little saying something like this. "If every girl in this "Y" were like me what kind of a "Y" would my "Y" be?" I suppose that can be applied to this column. Because if, all the girls were like me the column wouldn't survive very long. New Years isn't very far off so I can make a resolution to never desert the column for such a long time again. "Procrastination is the thief of time" and I just kept putting off writing and then I never did seem to find time until I just made time. "Wilhelmina" wrote some time ago suggesting that we ask Mr. Moore for a whole page for December 23. I think that would be a very nice thing. Then all the girls can show their talent and make up for lost time by making a special effort to contribute something extraordinary for that date. Don't you think that would be nice? I'm doing my best to help her on that date and I think that we all ought to give her our very best support so we can show others just how strong we are. "LITTLE GIRL." Our column has been missing from The Age for a few weeks. I wonder what was the trouble.

Church, South, To Demand that Southern States Make Good and Stop Lynchin Atlanta, Ga.—Leading white women of the Southern Methodist Church have launched an organized movement for the enactment of adequate State laws to suppress Lynching. At a three days' conference on Christian principles in race relations held in this city, December 4 to 6, an address to the public was issued urging Southern officials, citizens, putpit and press to give united support in a concerted effort to be made to stamp out mob law and lawlessness in the South. Thirteen sixties were represented. Each woman pledged herself to work individually and in an official capacity in an insistent and persistent campaign waged on behalf of law enforcement. Mrs. Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute, Mrs. John Hope and Mrs. S. S. Butler of Atlanta, and Mrs. Jennie Porter Barret of Peake, Va., attended the conference. Following is the statement issued by the women of the Southern Methodist Church: "Whereas, the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which provided Federal control of lynching, has thrown the whole responsibility back: upon each State for removing this hideous crime; therefore. "Be it resolved, that we, the Commission on Race Relations of the Woman's Missionary Council, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the conference social service superintendents and other officers in conference in Atlanta, Ga., December 4, 1922, do now demand of the authorities of the several states that they make good their claim proving their competency" to abolish mob violence and lynching. "That we assume our responsibility as citizens for the protection of human life and hereby call, upon all the peole of all the States, upon the pulpit and upon the press to join in an insistent and persistent agitation against this harbarous practice.

Hughes the colored superintendent of the Bureau of Legend under the Board of Missions and Church Exten- tion of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which met in Philadelphia recently, was one of the features of the program. Dr. Hughes selected the Upper Mississippi Conference as an example of the work for 400,000 Negroes carried on by the Bureau. Pointing out that the Negro population of the State of Mississippi outnumbered the whites by 81,000, Dr. Hughes showed that only $58,000 was appropriated for Negro education in the State by the law legislature. "In the Mississippi Delta, an area of 1,200 square miles, Methodism has flourished," said Dr. Hughes. "Six years ago we had 1,200 members, today 4,044; 1,000 Sunday School pupil then, 2,775 now; twenty-six churches then, and fifty-night churches now." Of the 116 ministers serving in the Upper Mississippi Conference, six-five have at one time or another registered in our, rural schools and thirty-two charges now have some type of weekly and recreational program. "During the Centenary period the Board has provided $13,688 to supplement pastors' salaries and $25,317 to aid twenty-seven church buildings and parsonages needed for Negro Christian expansion in the South. Dr. Hughes was formerly area secretary of the New Orleans area of the Methodist Episcopal Church. At the Philadelphia meeting he was re-elected to his present position.

"Every colored man and woman in Virginia," he said, "ought to belong to this Negro Organization Society, which will achieve results and do much good." "Men and women," said Governor Trinkle, "can do almost anything that they are determined to do. It is always a great pity for people to give up. Colored people today are reaping great good from the efforts of a previous generation. So today are men and women sowing seeds. While there are great ends that men can accomplish as individuals, it is also true that by a combination of good services and good wishes men can 'put over' anything they wish. "I want you to know that I am back of you in any honest effort you are making to advance your race. When we can get all the colored people harnessed to exert their force for good, we can quit Virginia. Let complaints be built on concrete pro plans. We want to find the thing that will make us all better and happier. I wish to felicitate the colored people of Virginia on their obedience to the law." Major Allen Washington, commandant at Hampton Institute, in his annual, presidential address, outlined the Society's progress during ten years of service to Virginia.

The Atlanta Independent, in its issue of November 30, devoted some sixty inches of its valuable space to the reproduction, free of any cost, of an advertisement: entitled "The Shame of America," taken from the Atlanta Constitution of November 22. The Independent assumed that this advertisement was placed in the Constitution by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and paid for by the Association and the Anti-Lynching Crusaders. Benjamin Jefferson Davis, the president and editor of the Independent, is to be commended for his generosity in making this sample donation of advertising space to the public work of the association, but his editorial comment was not equally magnanimous. He said: The Independent regards it a queer policy for the Association to spend its funds for such paid advertisement in white dailies which have done little or nothing for the removal of this evil of lynching from American life, when the Negro papers have championed every cause of colored people and have always willingly and liberally given space for the publication of whatever matter the Association has sent out. The Independent confesses its inability to see where or how this advertising, which cost several hundred dollars, is going to help the cause to any great extent, and regards it as a mere waste of the money of the Association If the white dallies had taken a stand against lynchings years ago, lynching would be a mere matter of history now, but these same dallies the Association is giving money to, have done nothing but aired the crimes which precipitated the lynching, and they silently condoned or openly encouraged it. We repeat that it is a queer policy and a needless expenditure. We think that Editor Davis takes a shortsighted view of the situation and fails to do justice to the policy inaugurated by the National Association, in the extensive advertising campaign carried on in the daily press, which included newspapers in New York and Chicago, as well as in Atlanta. The special point aimed at through this campaign, as we see it, is to educate the white public as to the enormity of the lynching evil. The Negroes of America have undergone a primary and secondary course of education in this respect. They appreciate the need of anti-lynching legislation without any intensive newspaper propaganda. The Association has therefore done well to direct its efforts in this matter to a broader field. Of course, it is only natural that home of the editors of the Negro press, who have given their efforts and their space freely and without price to the sufficiency of the work and influence of the National Association, should feel a certain amount of chagrin and resentment at being ignored in the distribution of this large advertising appropriation. It might have been good policy on the part of the Association to have appropriated a small portion of the amount expended among colored papers which have worked so faithfully to further the cause. It would have created a better feeling among these editors and would have had its effect on the readers, who always include a certain number of whites who maintain a friendly or critical interest in race matters. But the main proposition is to educate white sentiment in favor of anti-lynching legislation, and as a step in that direction the policy of advertising in the great dailies on the scale pursued by the National Association is to be commended. AN EXPLANATION IN ORDER An Atlanta dispatch to the Macon Telegraph gave publicity to a statement issued from the headquarters of the uncalled Republican State Committee, in which it was stated that J. Louis Philips has in no way relinquished the resis. of authority as state chairman. The correspondent added: Though not so stated in the above headquarters statement, it is understand that Chairman Philips is functioning in Washington in the dual capacity of state chairman for Georgia and Republican national committee from Georgia. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro national committee, is said to cut no figure at all. The national committee is said to have promised him at a salary of about $100 a year and calls on him only unanimously to learn our political troubles with Negroes in various states. In reprinting this story, the Atlanta Independent said that Mr. Johnson had made no denial of this serious charge against him, but that it did not believe the story. As the editor of the Independent and Mr. Johnson at one time were, and still may be, firmly bound in the ties of personal and political friendship, this refusal to credit the charge is unobtrudely based on the personal relations still existing between them. Nevertheless, in justice to himself and the race of which he is a representative, Mr. Johnson should not let this charge go without denial or explanation. As to the alternative suggestion made by the Independent, that it would rather believe "that Mr. Johnson was paid by Philips himself to stay in the background and let him act as national committeeman," we can only say that Mr. Johnson should pray to be delivered from his friends, past or present. Let the National Committeeman from Canada defend LETTER WRITING EXTRA- ORDINARY. Despite the plaint of the literary reviewer that the day of letter writing as an art has passed away, the public press frequently finds some samples of correspondence that both interest and edify the readers. Recently published letters of ex-President Woodrow Wilson, former Secretary Lane of his Cabinet and the late Theodore Roosevelt are instances of this sort. But the most extraordinary letter of a political character that has come to our notice is one written by Ferry W. Howard to Senator Dupont of Delaware. When Mr. Howard took his pen in hand, or punched his typewriter keys, or dictated to a long suffering stenographer, as the case may have been, he confessed that "I have blood in my eyes for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." This was hardly the frame of mind in which to compose an epistle comporting with the office which Mr. Howard holds in the Department of Justice. Hence we find the writer denouncing the National Association as a "Negro Democratic organization" and insisting that no legislation ought to be enacted through or by reason of this Association or its sympathizers. Of course this blow was aimed at the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. The writing of this letter by Mr. Howard and the circulation of copies of it among prominent Republican Senators has won for him the unenviable notoriety of being the solitary member of his race who openly opposed the adoption of a Federal law to prevent and punish lynching. Mr. Howard comes from Mississippi, so he cannot be excused on the ground of ignorance of the evil which he was willing to allow to continue, rather than favor the measure advocated by the National Association. There is room among members of the race for differences of opinion as to various phases of the policy pursued by the National Association and the views expressed on certain subjects by its officers and others connected with it. But its consistent and aggressive fight against mob law and lynching there can be no division within the race. He who is not with it is against it. Neither partisan affiliation nor personal jealousies should be allowed to interfere in the prosecution of its campaign against lynching. As a letter writer Mr. Howard has created for himself a unique position as the only Negro opponent of the Dyer bill. We trust that the stigma will not prove ineradicable. During the present year twenty-two indictments were returned against alleged lynchers in Georgia, but only four convictions were secured, carrying penitentiary sentences. Georgia has not yet gone about its house cleaning in earnest. Judging by his action in seeking to revoke the appointment of Walter L. Cohen, the Norfolk Journal and Guide says that the only difference between Governor Parker of Louisiana and the Ku Klux Klan is that "he does not wear a mask and gown." They are probably of the same breed. In arguing that we as a race must build up our own industries, the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia said among other things: We have got to build up our own industries instead of begging white people to put a Negro in this place or that. Instead of begging for a place as a clerk in a grocery store. We have got to have our own grocery store. We have the numbers, the means, and we eat enough. We remember very well when we were trying to get colored men as linetype operators of the daily papers, but we changed our tactics and put linetype operators in the Book Concern, and now we have colored linetype operators in a number of colored establishments in this city, and the number is growing larger every year. If we waited for the great metropolitan dailies to put in colored linetype operators, we would not have any. But what happened? As soon as we develop our own men in our own shops, then where there is a shortage among the linetype operators in white shops we have a colored man in here and there and if he is able to make good, in addition a permanent place for himself. Indeed the plan worked too well, for a white shop took our foreman at higher pay, and a number of others trained in the Book Concern have not had to beg for jobs but got the jobs against our will (?). There is sound some in this argument, which should commend itself to the race at large as an additional reason for the support of race enterprises. In building up our own industries we furnish employment for the members of the race and furnish an incentive for training for industrial pursuits. THE NEW YORK AGE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922. THE REPUBLICAN ABANDONMENT OF THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL. The failure of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to be passed by the Senate may be ascribed to two contributing causes. The first was the filibuster on the part of the Southern Democrats. The second was the apathy and insincerity of the Republicans. This filibuster is acknowledged to have been the most naked and brutal exhibition of its kind ever made in the Senate. A filibuster is generally carried on under some sort of disguise, but Senator Underwood of Alabama, Democratic leader, made a statement on the floor of the Senate regarding the tactics of his party in which he said: "We are not disguising what is being done on this side of the Chamber. It must be apparent not only to the Senate but to the country that an effort is being made to prevent the consideration of a certain bill, and I want to be perfectly candid about it. The bill is known in the "Record" as the Dyer Bill, I believe; I have forgotten its number. At the last session of Congress we had this 'force' bill up and I think I very candidly stated to the Senate when it was up that we did not propose to allow it to be passed, and I want to say right now to the Senate that if the majority party insist on this procedure they are not going to pass the bill and they are not going to do any other business. We are going to transact no more business until we have 'an understanding about this bill. I am saying this because I am not trying to put the responsibility upon the other side. They can say I said it. If you gentlemen want to continue, after this candid statement of the case, and keep this bill before the Senate you know it is going to be blocked and cannot be passed, thereby stopping the transaction of all other business, go ahead. If you do not intend to do that we might as well come to an understanding and lay the bill aside, because you cannot pass it. The members of the majority party do not have to take the responsibility. We are willing to take the responsibility and we are going to do it. There is no doubt that Mr. Underwood meant what he said and that he voiced the sentiments of the Southern members of his party. Equally responsible for the failure of the bill was the lukewarmness and apathy and even the insincerity of the Republicans. From the beginning, the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has been a distasteful measure to the great majority of Republicans in the Senate, one that they dreaded having to face. The progress which the Bill made from the time of its being referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary to its being brought up for consideration on the floor was made literally under whip and spur and not because the Republican leaders in the Senate tried or even wished to advance, it. The Republican leaders in the Senate, Senator Lodge in particular, hoped and expected that the Bill would be left to sleep and die in committee. It took Herculean efforts to get the Bill reported out and it took efforts equally strenuous to have it placed on the legislative program, and even after it was there, it was necessary to bring great pressure in order to have the measure brought to the floor. The statements made by Senator Underwood to the effect that the Democrats assumed full responsibility for the defeat of the Bill by not allowing it to be taken up fell like sweet music upon the ears of most of the Republican senators. They felt that such a course on the part of the Democrats would relieve the Republicans of the necessity of fighting for the passage of the Bill and at the same time relieve them of the responsibility for its failure. The Republicans evidently felt that such appearances would deceive the Negroes of the country. In this they will find themselves mistaken. The colored people of the country will not be deceived by such a cheap show. They know and fully understand that the actual fight was the one made by the Southern Democrats against the Bill rather than by the Republicans in its behalf. If the Republican senatorial leaders think the Negro will be satisfied merely because they allowed the Southern Democrats to "put themselves on record" they are mistaken. The demand of the Negro was that the Republicans also put themselves on record, and this they failed to do. On Saturday night, December 2, the Republicans in the Senate held a caucus to discuss what should be done about the Bill. The caucus was largely attended and the question of abandoning the Bill was hotly discussed for more than two hours. Gradually the attendance dwindled until there were only some twenty odd senators left. A vote was taken and the majority agreed to abandon the Bill. Against this vote nine senators held out for carrying the fight until the 4th of March if necessary. We believe that if the majority of the Republicans in the Senate had had the backbone of these nine men and had met the challenge of the Southern filibusterers and dared them to stop absolutely the business of the government rather than allow the consideration of the Bill, public sentiment would finally have brought a pressure which the filibusterers would not have been able to withstand. At any rate, such a course would have shown courage and sincerity on the part of the Republicans and would have brought to the public mind a realization of the antiquated and obsolete system of rules under which the Senate tries to operate. That the Bill was abandoned because of the determined fight of the Southerners in the Senate will be no excuse to the colored people for the apathy and cowardice of the Republicans. It is this attitude on the part of the Republicans that the colored people will resent as much as they will deplore the actual failure of the Bill. ARTISTS OF NEGRO DESCENT. "Is it not curious to know that the greatest poet of Russia is Alexander Pushkin, a man of African descent; that the greatest romancer of France is Alexander Dumas, a man of African descent; and that one of the greatest musicians of England is Coleridge-Taylor, a man of African descent? "The fact is fairly well known that the father of Dumas was a Negro of the French West Indies, and that the father of Coleridge-Taylor was a native-born African; but the facts concerning Pushkin's African ancestry are not so familiar. "When Peter the Great was Czar of Russia, some potentate presented him with a full-blooded Negro of gigantic size. Peter, the most eccentric ruler of modern times, dressed the Negro up in soldier clothes, christened him Hannibal, and made him a special body guard." But Hannibal had more than size, he had brain and ability. He not only looked pictureque and imposing in soldier clothes, he showed that he had in him the making of a real soldier. Peter recognized this, and eventually made him a general. He afterwards ennobled him, and Hannibal, later, married one of the ladies of the Russian court. This same Hannibal was great-grand- father of Pushkin, the national poet of Russia, the man who bears the same relation to Russian literature that Shakespeare bears to English literature. "I know the question naturally arises; If out of the few Negroes who have lived in France there came a Dumas; and out of the few Negroes who lived in England there came a Coleridge-Taylor; and if from the man who was at the time, probably, the only Negro in Russia there sprang that country's national poet, why have not the millions of Negroes in the United States with all the emotional and artistic endowment claimed for them produced a Dumas, or a Coleridge-Taylor, or a Pushkin? "The question seems difficult, but there is an answer. The Negro in the United States is consuming all of his intellectual energy in this gruelling race-struggle. "But, even so, the American Negro has accomplished something in pure literature. The list of those who have done so would be surprising both by its length and the excellence of the achievements. "Such a list begins with Phyllis Wheatley. In 1761 a slave ship landed a cargo of slaves in Boston. Among them was a little girl seven or eight years of age. She attracted the attention of John Wheatley, a wealthy gentleman of Boston, who purchased her as a servant for his wife. Mrs. Wheatley was a benevolent woman. She noticed the girl's quick mind and determined to give her opportunity for its development. Twelve years later Phyllis published a volume of poems. The book was brought out in London, where Phyllis for several months an object of great curiosity and attention. "Phyllis Wheatley has never been given her rightful place in American literature. By some sort of conspiracy she is kept out of most of the books, especially the text-books on literature used in the schools. Of course, she is not a great American poet—and in her day there were no great American poets—but she is an important American poet. Her importance, if for no other reason, rests on the fact that, save one, she is the first in order of time of all the women poets of America. And she is among the first of all American poets to issue a volume. "Anne Bradstreet preceded Phyllis Wheatley by a little over twenty years. She published her volume of poems "The Tenth Muse," in 1750. Let us strike a comparison between the two. Anne Bradstreet was a wealthy, cultivated Puritan girl, the daughter of Thomas Dudley, Governor of the Bay Colony. Phyllis, as we know, was a Negro slave girl born in Africa. Let us take them both at their best in the same vein. The following stanza is from Anne's poem entitled 'Contemplation': "While musing thus with contemplation fed, And thousand fancies buzzing in my brain, The sweet tongued Philomel perch o'er my head. And chanted forth a most melodious strain, Which rapt me so with wonder and delight, I judged my hearing better than my sight, And wisht my wings with her awhile to take my flight." "And the following is from Phyllis' poem entitled 'Imagination': 'Imagination! who can sing thy force? Or who describe the swiftness of thy course? Soaring through air to find the bright abode. The empyreal palace of the thundering God. We on thy pinions can surpass the wind, And leave the rolling universe behind, From star to star the mental optics rove. Measure the skies, and range, the realms above. There is one view we grasp the mighty whole. Or with new worlds amaze the unbounded soul.' "We do not think the black woman suffers much by comparison with the white." The above paragraphs are taken from "The Book of American Negro Poetry." We have reproduced them without permission of the publishers. We give this extract because we think it gives some interesting and little known information and because we intend to resume our talks about books with special reference to those relating to the Negro. These paragraphs will serve as a sort of introduction. THE NEEDS OF THE SOUTH. Reports of the exodus of Negroes from the plantations of the South to the North are discussed at some length in a column of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, headed "Day by Day With Governor Patterson." Despite the suggestion in the headline of Dr. Coue's treatment by auto-suggestion, the writer does not claim that the situation "in every way is growing better and better," but rather that if the reports are correct, it calls for most careful consideration. He admits that during the war, when high prices for labor, prevailed, the migration of Negroes was general, but insists that since that time little has been heard of any further movement. High wages are stated to be the lure again and an acute labor shortage in the Northern mills is held responsible for reaching out again for the Southern Negroes. The aim of this "Day by Day" writer is to discourage the movement for the reason, which he openly avows, that "The Negro needs the South and the South needs the Negro." But he works to this end in a somewhat disingenuous fashion. He says that it is to be hoped for the sake of the Negroes themselves, that they will not induce any considerable number to leave the South, that the owners of the Northern mills and factories have no love for them, no interest in their advancement and no sympathy except to use them for their own benefit and when through to throw them aside to shift for themselves. While this policy is true in many cases of employment both North and South, a more enlightened sentiment has been born of self-interest which looks to the welfare of those employed as a means of securing better results in the way of labor performed. Better housing, sanitary provisions for working, recreational and educational facilities, the encouragement of thrift constitute features of this program. Again the prophet of woe claims that while a few Negroes have succeeded in the North and are well consisted there, the very large majority taken away from old associations become quickly discontented. It is asserted that the high wages is a detachment that vanishes in the high cost of living, due to enormous rents, cost of fuel and nothing free, and that the Negroes soon know this even from a financial standpoint they are better off. in the South. This phase of the matter moves "Gov. Patterson" to invigilate against the effort to prey upon their credulity and invigile them away from their home. "It is not only an outrage," he explains, "it is a moral and social wrong." He even goes so far as to tell how in his travels in the North he has witnessed the impositions practiced upon the Negro and his opinion is that he has a better chance, is happier, and has far better health in the South than in the North. He tries to clinch the matter by saying that in the cold of winter thousands of Negroes have died in the Northern climates from pneumonia and tuberculosis contracted there. Granting that the conditions described by this special pleader were only half true, the last state of the migrating thousands would not be as bad as what they left behind them in the Hooker Bends of the South. Investigation has proved that the vast majority of the migrants from the South make good in the North. Even in the slack times of the past few years when employment was scarce few would return to their former conditions in the South. As to their health, under decent living conditions they readily adjusted themselves to the change of climate and even bore the rigors of winter in the Great Northwest without suffering. The claim that the Negroes have found a deeper seated prejudice against them in the North than in the South is another subtlety raised by this writer, to discourage migration. But the motive is too obvious to dwell upon. The meat of the coconut is found in the means suggested to prevent further migration. These range from investigation and action by Southern service associations, chambers of commerce, boards of trade and last but not least the officers of the law. The Tennessee statute which makes it a misdemeanor to entice labor from one employment to another is invoked with the hint that there may be such laws in other South ern States. After having thus enlisted the arsenal of caijolery and threatening, even to the extent of pronage or forced labor, the voice of reason is allowed a hearing, in this wise: In the past, while we in the South have on the whole treated the Negro with more consideration than in the North we have not done by him due fear. He ought to be treated with greater justice than he often receives white man who robs him or takes advantage of his ignorance to steal upon him as a dishonor to him. To do so is to injure the Negro it injures the white man more. I am a Southern man, with an ecetyr wholly Southern, but I know that some of us have had the philosophy in regard to the Negro is a man and is entitled to the life of a man. To squeeze him in to get out of him all he can get return nothing is worse than the land and giving nothing in about which we hear so much. The Negro should be better and better housed. And we ashamed to let him live under worse conditions than able. Social equality of course thinkable, but the equality of and fair dealing is not. The Negro deserves this. North and South, and that he doesn't always get it is a reproach to both sections to any Christian civilization that erates it. "Gov. Patterson," in his final plea for greater justice toward the Negro and the accordance to him of the rights of a man, has hit upon the only means of keeping the race contested in the South. The contention that the Negro needs the South and the South, the Negro can be carried out by the basis of justice and equality. Now of the other public poses can have any lasting effect situation. A curious and significant feature of the late election in New York was brought out by Chandler Owen in California Eagle. He said: But the most surprising and exciting feature of the election in York is the fact that A. Philip L. dolph, co-editor of the Messenger candidate for Secretary of State, Socialist and Farm Labor ticket more than 90,000 votes in New York city alone, and ran second on the tire State Socialist ticket. Charlize Strinmelz was first, and this was less due to his popularity as an official wizard." Randolph even ran in New York City of the Socialist candidate for Governor, leading him proximately 25,000 votes. It is Randolph got an overwhelming majority of the Negro vote throughout the State. Even where Negroes voted solid the Democrats or Republicans in other count, they invariably cast vote for Randolph for Secretary State. And news comes from Ruther that the Negroes there lured indy for Randolph, where they most equally as solidly for the Democrats on other counts. Of course this does not mean that considerable articulation of the Negro has been won over to the North party, but it does indicate a growing tendency to discriminate in the use of the ballot and to compliment a member of the race nominated for a State office. In view of the failure of the religious professed by the Christian nations to check war and the rumors of war, the Illinois Conservator said: The trouble is we need a new kind of freedom—another religion; all of these religions have failed or none them have stopped work; race pre- murder, lynching, burning men and stake, rapine, government by the gun, such as are the cases in Missouri, Texas and South Africa. Yet, in all these places they preach Christ and have crucified, every Sunday and Sunday in stentorian tones—with tears flow down their cheeks. So what do you say next? Preachers join riots and mobs and lay in the dark of night and kill and be and texture in the name of Christ and you tell us Christianity and the Golden Rule must unite us and want. We ask do you believe the naughty ever adopt and practice the Golden rule. The trouble is not so much with ligion itself, as with the imperfect manity that fails to carry out itscepts. It needs a spiritual revival of nations of the earth to enforce a living of the truths of China. Great calamity and suffering may be agents needed to bring about this. Reciting the things that the race to be sincerely thankful for in mention of Iowa, the Des Moines County enumerated among others.

En la conferencia verificada ed dia 4 de los corrientes en Washington, a invitación del Sr. Presidente de los Estados Unidos, entre delegados de países centro-americanos, con motivo de discutir los problemas relacionados con la conferencia política de los cinco países, los delegados, desde luego, expresaron opiniones divergentes sobre lo acertado de trazar tales asuntos en la capital de este país. La conferencia tiene por objeto el establisher la par en los países referidos, y arreglar im tratado para guiar las relaciones mutuas. La cuestión de la conferencia no fue mencionada en la nota de invitación que se extendió Estados Unidos; pero fur introducida por el Dr. Alberto Ucles, jefe de la delegación hondurea, al responder este al discuro de bien venida promovida por el Sr. Hughes, Secretario de Estado. El Dr. Ucles expliqué que bajo la cuarta clínula de la invitación se puede proponer cualquier asunto, y recomendó, al que al de la federación de Centro America los conferencistas deverían de dar preferente consideración. El Sr. José Andrés Coronado, Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Costa Rica, quien representa a su país ante dicha conferencia, se opuso desde luego a tal idea, indicando que los gobiernos centro-américanos, al aceptar la invitación del gobierno de Washington, supieron muy bien que no habia llegada la hora histórica de su union política; al contrario, el delegado de Nicaragua, Sr. Emiliano Gusmorro, afirmó la realidad de la ambición que tienen los países en cuestión paraimir politicamente, y que tal ambición sería motivo para sobrivir a la cualquiera obstaculte que se interpusiera al resultado de la bandera de una nación sinfica. En términos rotundos, el Secretario Hughes dija a los conferencistas que los Estados Unidos no tienen ambición alguna para gratificarse al costo de sus países respectivos, impionéndoles condiciones que no en contra de sus apropiaciones nacionales, anual al contrario su propósito era de promover la paz y ayudarlas de una manera que las han aceptable hara la solución de sus problemas.

Debajo de muchas sorelas de carbono desacribió la policía mucho wiskey, deposítado en cajas y en sacos. Se calcula el valor de dicho licitor en unos doscientos mil pesos, según el promedio de vena de los traficantes ileitos. El carbón, aument, cuenta con menos valor, representa también una fortuna pequeña. Según noticias proporcionaladas por la policía, la chalana trataba de entrar al puerto en la mudrugada del dia en que detenida, cuando el bordo poliario que hacía la patrulla se le acerció. "Que tienen Udes abordo!" La contestación fue dada en una sola palabra. "Carbon" "Vamos a correrarmos." insistió la policía. Se amarró su bote a la chalana, y unos seis gendarmes maritimos se puieron a bordo gritando. "Que nos presten unas pelas." No habiendo abordo ninguno le las implementos pedidos por la política, tu sumu que echar mano de una espada, y como resultado del mucha trabajo que efectuín, descubri el litor excedente.

Diciembre 9—W F G Harding, ex-governador de la junta de la reserva federal que fue designado por la administración de Washington para estudar el problema económico de Cuba ha expresado hoy sus opiniones en un disturso que ha pronunciado en la camara de comercio de los Estados Unidos. Mr. Harding ha manifestado que no habia ido a Cuba a imponer al país un sistema bancario sino a acueradir cuales eran en su concepto los mejores medios de establecer una ley bancaria solida derivada de los resultados obtenidos en los Estados Unidos con la aplicación del sistema de la reserva federal. En los centros financieros y políticos de esta capital, aguardidase con impaciencia el resultado de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo por Mr. Harding. Las declaraciones que ha hecho hoy en la cámara de comercio de los Estados Unidos permiten conocer aproximadamente la tonalidad general que imperará en el informe que presentará con carácter oficial al presidente Zayas cayen desíndose que recomendará eficaciente la adoptión de medidas similares a las adoptadas en los Estados Unidos cuando se implantó el sistema de la reserva federal a fin de consolidar el sistema bancario de Cuba y normalizar la situación financiera. Asegurar además que el informe oficial estará reductado en términos optimistas y que dada la garantía que ofrase persona de tanta significación en el mundo financiero será aceptado existiendo así la repetición del desbarajuate economía que siguíba a la crisis bancaria ocurrida en el año 1919. Crese que Mr. Harding presentará mandana su informe oficial al presidente Zayas y que saldrá después, immediatamente, con dirección a los Estados Unidos.

The Age Readers' Forum By WILLIAM PICKENS. Bullies, cowards and traitors—this awful trinity is responsible for the temporary defeat of anti-lynching legislation. The "bullies" have already exposed themselves in that immoral and anarchistic fillibuster. It remains for us to expose the cowards who pretended to be "beaten" by a minority, and the traitor, (Negroes) who secretly assisted and played into the hands of the whole devilish combination. Nobody ever heard of an honest majority anywhere giving in to a minority, so if the majority were in earnest. We do not make the charges against all the Republicans, but undoubtedly there was some collusion between some Democrats and some of the Republican leaders. The Democrats were very likely tipped off that if they would go ahead and "raise hell" for a day or two, it would give the Republicans a good excuse to lie down and holler "enough." If half a dozen Democrats can say: "There will be no business done until we can have our unlawful way." Could not half a dozen Republicans say: "And there will be no business done until you permit the lawful thing to be done?" If a minority could nillbuster, could not a majority stick to its rights? If six or seven Democrats can stop the United States at their pony will, what on earth is the holy use of giving the Republicans a majority in Congress? Then there are the traitors, black in heart and in face, or at least in a portion of their blood—and a great dishonor to all the great black group of the United States. They have played into the hands of the enemy all along. Our eye has been on them. We know all of them, and on some of them we have the proof that the humblest man can be made to see. WOULD YOU EVER BELIEVE IT THAT ONE GROUP OF BLACK MEN WOULD EVER BE JEALOUS LEST ANOTHER GROUP OF BLACK MEN SHOULD GET A LAW PASSED TO KEEP ALL BLACK MEN FROM BEING BURNED ALIVE WITH IMPUNITY? For our part, if our worst enemy were about to get a law passed to counteract lynching in the United States, we would not oppose him. More than that, we would aid him. We would help anybody on God's earth to do a thing like that, and fight anybody who tried to present the doing of it. But now we shall have to enter upon a pitiful exposure of the pitiful sound- reels who have betrayed the most vital interests of their own race and suffer- ing people. Verily some little fellows would be jealous of a man, if that man were about to murder himself a hero by saving the little fellows' lives. It's strange, but it's true. We shall see. DR. STRATON AND THE NEGRO Editor of The New York Age. I visited one of the larger white churches of this city, Calvary Baptist, Sunday evening. December 1, and heard its pastor, the R. Dr. John Roach Stratton, discuss the Ku Klux Klan. Dr. Stratton is one of the most able divines in the American judiciary today and has intercedences in his spirit before an overfitting house of white people搞 him as a traunch and powerful friend of the Negro Race. Dr. Stratton vindicated himself and his congregation from any alliance or connection with the Ku Klux Klan. "What else is there for me to say in this pulpit," said he. "but that I am unalterably opposed to the Ku Klux Klan and their activities, when I made this same statement in the Interracial Conference held in the very heart of the South, (Memphis, Tenn.) before a large gathering of both white and Negro people gathered together to bring about the interracial conditions, and when I also spoke before a board of Negro Baptist, preachers in Harlem." Dr. Stratton plunged into a simple plain, forceful denunciation of the Klan that was most sincere and emphatic, minus any dramatics. In regard to the Negro, he was bold and outspoken and did not mince his words or camouflage his meaning. He touched on the tarring and feathering and burning of Negroes and said that it was an outrage; that God would visit vengeance for such acts and they should be stopped. He spoke of the little town in Georgia, which, he said, was in an adjoining county to his home town, where the Negroes had gone with resolutions to their white friends to protect them from the calamity of being driven from their homes in a specified time by the Klan. "This is not right," he thundered. "Knowing the Negro as I do and loving him as I do, I consider this a crime. The Negro is the most harmless being I know and the most loyal." Continuing, he declared, "There is no hatred in me, but I do hate race prejudice in any form anywhere." He criticized the injustice and the war "In touching on the Jezus-Catholic, Dr. Stratton said any nation or people that migrated the Jew suffers, and he gave disheveled and bleeding Russia of today as any example. As to the Catholic, he said he maintained that every man had a perfect right to choose his own faith and worship God as he pleased, and he would stand by the Catholic in the same way and to the same extent as he would the Baptist. Back to the Klan, he said, "We need no invisible empire" then he gave a beautiful picture of this visible empire of ours, going from the snow capped mountains of it, great northwest to the flowery gardens of the sunny South, from the sun-kissed shores of the gold en Pacific to the Statue of Liberty in el dimero que perciba por ee match.

Editor of The New York Age Twenty years ago last April, two years after the suffrage amendment was in corporated into state constitution, he instituted a particularly thorn of his political strength, the State Republican Convention was called the convention was called to order in the city auditorium of the Municipal Building. The late Charles Price of Salisbury-former mayor of Salisbury, was elected permanent chairman. After Mr. Price had been presented to the concession, he came forward and the first sentence that fall from his lips, after thankening the delegates for the honor conferred upon him, "Mr. Paul, on one accession, writing to the Romans, exclaimed, 'Oh! wretcher men, on one accession, deliver me from the body of this flesh.'" And he added in explanation "With no mention of being blasphemous whatever, no mention of being a slave what I wish to say that the years the white Republican of North Carolina have been crying out, who will deliver me from the slavery of the slave grot. At last this deliverance has been accomplished by the white voters of the state and for the first time in the old South State, a convention is met, composed altogether of worse delegates, assembled from the mountains to the seabass. Let a Jesse God from whom all blessings flow." This writer, at the time the foregoing words were uttered, was sitting in the balcony, overlooking the white delegates in the room, noticing that the white delegates noticing their words. There were African colored men sent as delegates to this convention from their respective counties in the eastern part of the state. Two of them, formerly represented, at different times the Second Congressional District in Congress. Yet even they as well as their associates, were not permitted to attend the meeting; they were duly elected in this convention. In fact, this writer was informed by a leading white Postmaster at a county courthouse held in the county courthouse the night before the convention met, that the questions to how to handle the colored ball was insisted upon upon their right to sit in the convention, was discussed at length. This party with the proceedings in the premises, told me that it was finally decided, should any colored delegates refuse to sit in the convention, that the cause that he should be forbibly thrown out of the convention ball. That the worst revenue officer were selected to execute the mandate of the causes. Why was such unwarranted and unlawful Republican gasoline, gas related about them? Simply for the purpose of catering to the officers of the organization to build up a white man's Republican party by excluding the Negro from the political shelter which white men were allowed to hold, the rights of citizenship had been conferred upon him by the constitution of the United States. The Democratic party, with the co-operation of the Lily Whites, "eliminated the Negro from the political politics. With such a result the Democrats were attainted. "The Lily Whites," however, were not contended until after the war, and were not franchised. The educated Negro by not permitting him, even though a duty elected by the Republican Convention since 1900. What has been the outcome of all this unholy unprincipled propaganda? Simply put, the Democratic gro, whose number is tens of thousands, feels that he is a man without a party in North Carolina, as it is now managed. A small number of voters, section, site for a Democratic candidate running for a local office, not because they believe in his politics, but because they know the Democrat is more likely to raise the rate than the "Lily White" opponent is. The great majority of the qualified Negro electorate remain away from the polls, and the Democratic gro, wood" and saving the law dust for an emergency in the future. In the mountains, what prepared him to use the twenty pounds, nearly a quarter of a century, in carrying a stake election, since the grapes had been plowed out of the party? Let the student of political history compre the election returns before the New York City mayor and what will be found. That since it is "Lily Whites" have undertaken all by themselves, to run the Republican party, to run the Democratic party, from the Democratic, assimilative party two years, until in 1965 last election, last month, they received a welcoming, in the face of opposition, from the Democratic, assimilative party, checking only three senators and ten in the lower house. They are almost as completely assimilated, so far as republicans are concerned, as the Negro was assimilated politically in 1900 by the suffrage amendment. I trust I'll not be misunderstood. I trust that the Negro will be represented with the hope that in some way the Negro, who can qualify may be encouraged to be operative with the Lily Whites, will be opposed once more. May I indeed, for as the late Grover Cleveland once said in differing "We have come to the getting of the ways." My only reason for calling what I have earlier is by the purpose of keeping the Negro in the warmth to venture this little prediction. That the "Lily Wallace" by forsaking both principle or political expediency have about principle such habits of being careful in a state, or in any other election for that matter, as they would be in damming up the Mississippi River with cob-wobs. GREENSBORO, N. C. CHARLES H. BOORE. WOMEN ABOUSED ON LYNCHING Editor of THE NEW York Act: I was invited to attend the three days' conference of the Commission on Race Relations of the Women's Missionary Council, Methodist Episcopal Church. South, held here in Atlanta December 4 to 6, and was present when the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was frankly discussed by white women of strong character who were not afraid to openly express their convictions on this appalling crime—Lynching. One can see a ray of hope, now that the southern white woman is being awakened to the unjust conditions of this section of the country. For when she is convicted or converted, she has the courage to stand by her convictions and will bring things to pass. SYSTEM SELENA SLOAN BUTLER. (Mrs. H. R. Butler). Atlanta. Ga. WOMEN WILL KEEP FIGHTING. Editor of The New York Age: In common with Negroes everywhere, the colored women of the South are bitterly disappointed at the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. We deeply deplore this stumbling blow. Nevertheless we are urging our people not to lose hope. God is stronger than all the combined powers of injustice and wrong. He is at the helm; and these cruel practices that find victims in both races must and will cease. We must strive more and more to seek the right, to discourage sin and wrong in all men, and setting our fares unfinishingly toward the light we must be strong and very courageous. Above all, we must never grow weary. "Man is unjust; but God is just and finally justice triumph." MARY McLEOD BETHUNE Daytona, Fla. TO INSPIRE THE CHIDREN.

EXELENTO MEDICINE COMPANY ATLANTA, GEORGIA AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Write for Advertising ```markdown ``` THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS In The Realm of Music By Lucien H. White "Liza" Is a Great Dancing Show But Weak in The Singing "Liza" Is a Great Dancing Show But Weak in The Singing Irvin Miller Has Brought Broadway a Nifty Aggregation of High Stepping Beauties Who Possess Great Terpsichorean Skill To characterize "Liza," the musical comedy now being presented by Irwin C. Miller and a large group of talented colored belles and beauts at Daly's 63rd Street Theatre, as the best dancing show yet seen in New York, will not cause the writer to be convicted of exaggeration. For there has not yet been seen in this man's and woman's town a more agile, graceful, lithesome, lissom and limber group of dancers than has been gathered together by Irvin and his fellow workers in this new bid for the favor of New York's fickle theatregoers. And they work as though they like it. From the going up of the first curtain on the "Tag Day" scene, to the grand finale by the entire company, during which time two acts and ten scenes have been galloped through in about two hours and a half, there isn't a dull moment. Verve, vivacity, pep, jazz—all these and others, if I knew them, could be aptly used in describing the efforts of those who make up the "Liza" company. This production, revamped from the "Bon Bon Buddy, Jr." show which was seen in Harlem some months ago, and which brought forth some criticism because of an alleged plagiarizing of a copyrighted title, bears slight resemblance to its progenitor. Just here and there are there resemblances, but these have been toned down and polished up to an extent that raises doubt as to the relationship. And, too, the show has been speeded up to an almost unbelievable extent. The action does not lag, and the audience is kept on the qui zire all the time, wondering what is coming next, for sometimes it seems that from a terpischorean standpoint, the limit had been reached. But they go on from one degree unto another, achieving new triumphs with each progression. According to the program, the book is by Irvin C. Miller, music and lyrics by Maceo Pinkard, with special lyrics by Nat Vincent. Just what the special lyrics may be, I have had no means of discovering, but Pinkard has some good music in the show. The title song, "Liza," is attractively given, and constant recurrence of its melodic theme, woven artistically through the arabesque of harmony, both vocal and orchestral, sends the majority of the audience away humming its catchy refrain. Other attractive numbers are "That Brownskin Flapper," sung by Maud Russell and a group of pretty flappers; "Planning," a sentimental duet, by Margaret Sjimms and Thaddius Drayston; and "My Old Man," sung by Elizabeth Welch and Emmett Anthony. The singing as a whole is not up to the standard. Much is left to be desired in this connection, and it is not altogether the fault of the singers. They are not sufficiently trained and developed, but the voices are there. A chorus master or director of sufficient calibre would work wonders with that group of ambitious and earnest workers. Gertrude Saunders, the leading soubrette, has a lot of talent, but her work would be more enjoyed if she gave evidence of a little less self-conceit. Confidence in one's ability is a most desirable trait but a swollen head is a "maint." It was a great surprise to find that the orchestra was giving such melodious service. The individual players are well-equipped, and the conductor, Lieut. J. Tim Brynn, has the reputation of being one of the race's most competent wielders of the baton. But results such as should be possible with this aggregation of able musicians are not attained. It is not possible, offhand, to say just what the trouble is. The impulse is to attribute the lack in some way to the conductor. Certainly there is one fact that stands out, perhaps by reason of a knowledge of Lazut Brymin's possible affinity to the brass and wood wind choirs. That is, the wind choirs continually overwhelmed the string sections, and at times even swept above the full choir of voices on the stage. These faults, evident in the first two weeks of the production, will undoubtedly be modified and eliminated, and there is every indication that "Liza" is in for a good long run. Aside from their ability in tripping the "light, fantastic toy," the girls gotten to gether by Mr. Meller are way above the average in point of pulchrum. It is a pretty bunch of girls and there is little danger of any eyes getting tired from looking at them. The costumes are elaborate, tasty and attractive. The scenery is gorgeous, one scene especially, "On the Moonlit Swanet," causing the audience to burst into ablush appreciation. It will be some feather in the Miller boys' caps if the three brothers should be connected up in what may turn out to be a breaking of theatrical records among race performers.

Although "Seven Eleven," which is being presented at The Lafayette this week makes no pretense of being the best musical comedy of the season, it is as entertaining and in many ways the equal of any that have been present at this theatre for some time. The show is built around "Speedy" Smith and Sam Cook, a popular vaudeville team, who take the leading comedy roles. May Brown is the leading female character. The plot is not original, but there is the thread of a story running throughout the show. The dancing of Mason and Bailey and of the chorus was a feature of the performance on Monday night, but the outstanding feature was the comedy work of "Speedy" Smith, who kept the audience continually laughing. Garland Howard and May Brown showed unusual peep in their dance numbers. Among the principals of the show are: Charles Mason, Sam A biley, Demus Jones, Bob Allen, Garland Howard, Arthur Ames, Evan Robinson, May Brown, A. B. Connathiere, Sam Cook, George Myrick, Andrew Fairchild, Speedy Smith, Iris Hall and Julia Mitchell.

Frank Forbes and his mates journeyed up to New Rochelle to tackle the Orientalis and carried the long end of the score back to Harlem. The game was fast, displaying some excellent passwork on the part of Commonwealth, who sprang into the lead at the start and led all the way. However they were crowded in the second half and were it not for two successive baskets by "Tat" Jenkins and Slocum, respectively, the result might have been different. The work of "Tat" Jenkins stood far above that of any other player. He scored four field goals and shot one foul. But his floor work, his ability to break up the Orientalis formation was even more valuable to his team than his shooting. The rest of the Commonwealth team played a great game. Jones and Garcia starred for New Rochelle. The final score was 25-15. The Fanwood Deaf Mutts defeated the Oriental Midgets in the preliminary by the score of 15-11. COMMONWEALTH FIVE DEFEATES ST. IEROME The Commonwealth Big Five won their fourth-straight victory on Sunday night. December 3, when they defeated the St. Jerome Catholic Club, 46-27, on the local team's court at Commonwealth Casino. The visiting team was outplayed in the first half, and followed to shoot only two goals. In the second half, they came back strong and shot eleven field goals. Fial, Jenkins and Stoccuh shot goals from all angles and both Hubbard and Forbes played a good game at guard. In the preliminary game, the Harlem All-Stars were defeated by the Blue Helts in a one-sided game. The score was 23-7. SANDY TAYLOR WINS AGAIN OVER BUSH Sandy Taylor, welterweight champion of the National Guard, scored his second victory over Georgias Bush of the 71st. Regiment in the main 12-round bout at the 15th Armory on Tuesday night. December 12. Taylor put up a good scrap all the way and outboxed his opponent in every round. Bush took many blows that would have knocked an ordinary tighter out, but apparently his head and stomach were of tougher material than the ordinary battler's. Taylor weighed 143.1-4 pounds, and Bush 140.1-2. Eddie Kiley, former amateur flyweight champion, was successful in winning his initial bout in a professional. He scored an easy victory over Danny Lyons at the 102nd Legiment in the eight round semifinal. He showed speed, cleverness and an ability to box that should make him a valuable asset in the professional boxing circles of Harlem. His weight is 127 pounds and that of his opponent was announced as 125. Henry Shaw of the 300th and Saddler Vasquez fought the most ferocious fight of the night on one of the four round preliminaries. Both fighters fought hard every minute, but Shaw was the winner on points. In the other preliminary bout, Saddler Golden knocked out Earl Jackson in the last round of a four round bout; and Kid Roose host a close decision to Kid Bates. An all star card is being presented at this armory next week in which three star honors will be presented. Some of the contestants in these honors will be Wilhelle Walker the middle weight champion of the National Guard, Buddy Sanders the lightweight champion of the National Guard; and Wilhelle Simchair the Pacific Coast lightweight. ORIENTALS DEFEAT THE MONARCH FIVE The Mi-Tee Monarch Elks' five went down in defeat before the Orientalis of New Rochelle at Commonwealth Casino on Sunday night, December 10, in a game that was so one-sided that the spectators soon lost interest. It was the first game of a double-header and was witnessed by the largest crowd that has attended a basketball game this season. Occasionally Captain "Huddy" Oliver and Lester Fial played good ball for the Elks, but throughout most of the game the Orientalis had them completely outclassed, the final score was 33-16. Gaynor was the star for the New Rochelle team, as he scored seven field goals and two fouls for his team. Garcia and Monte also played well. The line up: Substitute: For Monarch, Jenkins for Johnson; field goals: Monarch—Fial 3, Oliver 2, Spaulding 1; Oriental—Gaynor 7, Monte 3, Garcia 3, Jones 1, and James 1; feal goals: Monarch, 4 out of 9 trials; Oriental, 3 out of 7; Referee—Cria Huiswoud. BOROUGH A. C. TEAM BEATS SPARTAN BEAVES The Spartan Braves met their second defeat this season at the hands of the Boreough Athletic Club five in a hard fought game at Manhattan Casino on Thanksgiving night, November 30. The Spartans appeared to be only the shell of their former selves, although—with the exception of Ritchie at center for Slocum—the lineup was the same as it has been for the past two seasons. Stewart and Wallace did not work together as they usually do, and Wallace seemed unable to hold the ball. The Brooklyn boys took the lead early in the first half and held it throughout the game. During the first half, they had possession of the ball most of the time and completely outclassed their opponents. The score at the end of this period was 15-7. In the next half the Harlem boys made a game effort to overcome their handicap.

December 10, when the Commonwealth Big Five barely defeated the Professional Collegians by a score of 21-18. Both sides shot the same number of baskets, and throughout the first half it appeared that the local team would lose its first game. The Collegians played a "five-man guard" game and allowed only one goal during the first half, while they scored five. In the second half the Commonwealth team broke through their defense and shot seven baskets, which, with three foul goals, gave them their three point lead. From the beginning of the game, the taken out and Beckett, a member of the team, given his place.

The game was the most directly contested that has been seen here in years, and was witnessed by 8,000 people. The score represents the nature of the mingle, which abounds with forward passing, spirited rushes, stunts and tumbling, to gether with several and positions by the officials. In the first quarter neither side scored, although Irving for Morchouse recovered a fumbled forward pass, which Johnson of Fisk threw away, and run forty vards for a touchdown. Referee Robinson tried that this was an incomplete toward pass. The fielder scored the second quarter, and Johnson had the ball within a few yards of Morchouse's goal and attempted a pass. Johnson shot the pass into the outstretched hands of Harris, who was waiting behind the goal line. Harris was tackled as he caught the ball and dug it. Harris dashed in, scoped up the ball and run the entire length of the field for a touchdown. Smith claimed that Harris did not fumble the ball, but he ran two incomplete vards, and two minutes of wrapping coaxing Fisk resumed plays. No Kelley kicked goal for the extra half. No other scoring was done the first half. Fiss made her first touchdown a few minutes after the third quarter began, but failed to kick the goal. Morehouse followed with a touchdown from a pass by Johnson to Gentry, who ran sixty yards to goal. A pass from Kelly to Galloway added the extra point, but in the second quarter, when both teams thought the score was tied, the referee claimed the start. Morehouse made as much as the point, and did not cause the third quarter ended with the final Fiss's possession on her yard line. During the last quarter the sun went down and part of this quarter was played in the twilight. Nevertheless, Fiss made two and Morehouse one last run during this period. ATHLETICS AT PRAIRIE VIEW NORMAL SCHOOL (Special To The New York Times) Texas View, Texas—The football team which was a very intrepid and highly satisfactory one this year for the Prairie View State Normal, has closed. The school was able to accomplish this year more than it has done during the whole history of its existence in the way as an institution. The new athletic field was surveyed and put into shape, a grandstand with a seating capacity of a thousand was con- pleted, tennis and basketball courts both for the boys and girls were built. The football game the school has ever was developed, having gone through the season losing but a single game. Wiley University, Prairie View's most formidable antagonist, and a victor of three successive years, was defeated on a new campus by a score of 18 to 6. Plans for next year are already in the making and it is confidently expected that the school will stand in the front hand of Negro colleges so far as athletics is concerned. Athletics is under supervision of a committee approved by Principal, the duties of which are plan and divide for athletics at the classes. The present student has been successful in putting on a self-supporting basis in the interest which it has been able to locate locally and otherwise. H. H. Mason, secretary-manager; E. B.

THE NEW YORK.AGE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER, 16, 1982. Atlanta, Gn.—Fred. H. A. Mant, Mr. E. A. Williams and Jason O. Thomas, while attending the Teachers' Association of May, decided to call a meeting of representative men and women of the goes to consider the matter of having Dr. H. B. Mason make a tour of the State of Georgia similar to the ones in Washington, and himself through other states. This meeting was called at the Fort Valley High and Industrial School. Invitations were sent to some thirty president men and women, all of whom gave their endorsement to the proposition and put their influence and personality behind it. Dr. Harris of Athens, who had already been in communication with Mr. Holsey and Dr. Moton with reference to a tour, was elected state chairman. The tour began in Atlanta, November 26. The kick-off meeting was held. Several thousand men and women of both races, representing every class and condition of mankind, assembled in the auditorium armory Sunday afternoon. Men high up in affairs of church and state occupied seats on the platform; some of them participated on the program. The address of welcome was delivered by Mayor James L. Key. Incidentally it is significant that in every city, with one exception, the mayor was made by the mayor. In one city it was made by his personal representative. Like Sherman, the general, Dr. Morton marched through "Georgia, from Atlanta to the sea, in the wake of the war, and in the wake of many of its attendant evils, and in the wake of Moton lay prostrate much ill will, misunderstanding, race prejudice and injustice, and upon the ruins were understanding and good will. PURPOSE The purposes of this tour through Georgia were identical with the purposes that inspired Dr. Booker T. Washington, Dr. Moton's predecessor, to make trips through many states to make trips to itself and make similar trips through other states for the same purpose. In an effort to stimulate, create and cement better and more cordial relationship between the two races is the motive that actuated these good-will tours. As Dr. Moton said, "A total good-will, an effort to bring about peace on earth because there is good-will between man." METHOD The method in bringing about the conditions above described followed by Dr. Moton was, first of all, a frank face to face and heart to heart discussion of the conditions of circumstances that are calculated to destroy good fellowship and great harmonious and helpful relationship. Dr. Moton expressed his position in this regard in the following Junior Sports By JIMMIE WARD. WINONO GIRLS On Monday evening, December 15, at St. Mark's Hall, Harlem's pride, the fast race of the girls, New York State champions in the opening game of a series of five games, was a very fast and exciting one, but the visitors seemed to be more eager. During the first half the Winnsons scored 14 points while the Bets scores 10 on the part of the visitors over some decision made by Chris Hutson. His because it is decided harder to reference the season and Helen Ellense played splendently for the Harlem girls and it was too bad last after putting up such a strong fight. The final score was announced as 21-14. In the preliminary game, George Rallston's Flying demons, The Buffaloers trounced the Alpha Cubs to the tune of 10-11. The Alpha boys being heavier than ye Rufaloes were not able to handle their opponents. The score at the end of the first half as 19-1 with ye wearers of ye old English A sitting on the small end. In the second session of the fray ye cruel and heartless Buffaloes admired termed ye deadly pass to ye Alpha which bewildered them very much. During this game the Rufaloes presented before the audience a new play, featuring one Wealey Carter, entitled, "The man who Played Guard." Of course Alpha put up a game struggle but—you know. DEFENDER DEFEATS HOWELL COLLEGIATE The Chicago Defender's New York five and the Howard University College five played one of the most thrilling basketball games of the season at Manhattan Casino on Thursday night, December 7. The Defender team won, but only by a score of 22-20. Wheeland of Howard also scored, but in a few minutes a unusual long shot by Simma, and other goals by "Stretch" Grant and Fird Lowery, put the New York team in the lead. Both teams fought hard but missed many good baskets, until a minute before the end of the first half when the Washingtonians shot another field goal that said the score. The team held the New York team to a tie score seemed to fill the visiting team with confidence, and they began the second half with an air of assurance: Within the first minute of play, they began drawing away from their opponents and so did had a lead of five points. This lead was not for long, however, for both teams. Glenn again grabbed the local team's first point of their opponents. A faint and a field goal by Butler less than two minutes before the game ended moved the day for the home team. Although the game was close and intense from the spectators' standpoint, neither player played an exceptional game. The New York team had not practiced quarterback, and there was a lack of teamwork; while the Washington team seemed so dependent on the opposing team, who, with Dash, did the best work (or his best work) of the "Secret" Grant at comeback for the Defender masters him as the of the coming covers now playing the quarterback. He not only outcompeted Whiteman but was also the chief scorer for his team. Fred Loewry showed that he is still a dangerous man, forward, while Buster and Zan Johnson did good work as guard. terms: "We have told about each other too much. The time is now when we must talk to each other, white and black." Dr. Motton's message in each community was doubled-barreled in character. Out of one harrel there were slags of advice and counsel to his own group. To the magnitudes of his own race he said that the twelve or fourteen million of Negroes in America are one thousand or two thousand years ahead of a corresponding number of Negroes anywhere else in the world. He had many advantages for which they ought to be thankful. In the first place they all spoke one language of culture, rehement, of progress, of civilization. In the second place, they were essentially Christians. They believed in God and in His Son, Jesus Christ. HOW TO GET RESPECT In emphasizing the things the Negro himself must do from within in order to come with the demands of this civilization, he counselled the members of his group to have more race pride and race consciousness. He said, "We are Chinese, a Japanese, an Indian or members of any other race, with one exception, to give the impression that they felt called upon to explain why they were identified with their respective race group. I fear sometime the Negro, as he watched the white man achieve his success, to the white man propaganda, comes to feel that the white man's success is due primarily to his color. They paint angels white and devils white. I fear many Negroes feel that they have been cursed by reason of themselves desiring to find themselves except that which God has made them, and white are the same in the sight of God. "The white man is successful, not because of his color, but because of his character, and he is ruling the world because he is more nearly doing what God wants done in the development of its species than has been done in the other race." PERSONNEL The personnel of the party was made up of twenty-five prominent and successful business and professional men, the most agreeable and adable group of men as a whole that the writer has ever been associated with for so long a period in such an intimate function. There was not an ugly spirit or repulsive personality in the whole group. (Name of party are given in another article, Ed.). In many places there was an adriatrum large enough to hold the people so the meeting took little outdoors.
