Various churches, individuals and charitable organizations make the day one to be remembered by hundreds of poor children and old folks who otherwise would be deprived of all share in the joyous spirit which pervades all mankind at this Yuletide season. One of the outstanding celebrations is that one observed over on Columbus Hill by the Union Baptist Church, Rev. George H. Sims, pastor, with the active aid and cooperation of Miss Rosalie M. Jonas, a white woman, who has given tangible and substantial evidence of a liberal heart and wide-flowing sympathy. For twelve years or more, Miss Jonas has given of her, time and money, as well as the money of her friends, to providing Christmas cheer for the poor children on Columbus Hill. The 1922 Christmas distribution of food, clothing, gifts, etc., began at 7:30 a.m. on Christmas Day. A committee from Union Church was on duty from that hour until 3 o'clock in the afternoon and a tree laden with gifts had been erected. The distribution included 125 dinners, each basket containing a chicken, potatoes, bread and other necessaries. Other articles given out included 17 pairs of shoes; 469 pieces of clothing; 100 toys; 413 apples; 200 oranges; 250 pounds of candy. Miss Jonas and a number of white friends were present during the day. At Mother Zion Church The members and friends of Mother A. M. E. Zion Chr.

In addition to these charitable dispensations, Mother Zion Church, under its big hearted pastor, the Rev. Dr. Brown, furnished a sumptuous turkey dinner for the girls who are inmates of the Katy Ferguson Home, a charitable institution at 130th street. The menu for the dinner comprised soup; roast turkey, oyster dressing; sweet potatoes, southern style; corn pudding; carrots; celery; hot rolls; salad; cream cheese, lettuce; mince pies; ice cream; nuts; raisins; fruit; coffee.

Will Deny Permits and Move Girl If Friends Talk Much Will Deny Permits and Move Girl If Friends Talk Much Alleged Threats Attributed to Harris Because Visitors to State Asylum at Kings Park Have Told of Ollie Harris's Condition Although the columns of The New York Age have been placed at his disposal for any statement he might care to make, concerning the publications made in these columns about the commitment of his daughter, Miss Olivia M. Harris, to the Kings Park State Hospital, for treatment as an insane person, George H. Harris, undertaker, 426 Herkimer street, has not taken advantage of the offer. The Age learns, however, that in conversation with acquaintances Mr. Harris denies the truth of certain allegations in the case and declares that there is no foundation for the intimations concerning his alleged mistreatment of the young woman. Rumors that he contemplates suing The Age for libel have not been substantiated, though it appears that some threats in this connection may possibly have been made. Lelia Walker Wilson Goes to Reno, Nev., for Divorce Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson of 108 West 136th street, daughter of the late Mme. C. J. Walker, left Saturday to take up a six months residence in Reno, Nev., with a view to bringing divorce proceedings against Dr. Wiley M. Wilson, who has offices at 200 West 138th street. The departure of Mrs. Wilson for Reno marks another chapter in the short marriage life of the Wilsons, who surprised their friends June 6, 1919, by quietly marrying twelve days after the death of Mme. Walker. Several days before leaving New York for Reno Mrs. Wilson instituted suit in the Supreme Court to compel Dr. Wilson to take title to the property at 108-110 West 136th street, the town house. Dr. Wilson filed an answer to his wife's suit, claiming that when he married the plaintiff it was with the understanding that she would give him the property clear of a $15,000 mortgage and also $10,000 in cash to renovate suitable for use as a physician's office. This promise was made, Dr. Wilson asserts, on condition that he severed his connections with Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., join her in New York and qualify in this State to practice medicine. The further charge is made by the physician that Mrs. Wilson prior to their marriage agreed to advance him as gifts all necessary monies so that he might adequately maintain himself in a position befitting the husband of a woman of wealth. There are no new developments as to the young woman's condition, friends who have visited her at the Kings Park institution being prevented from making any changes to her condition, threats by Mr. Harris that if further reports about the condition of Miss Harris were given out by her visitors, he would refuse to give any more permits to see her and would also have her removed to some other institution much further away from Brooklyn than is Kings Park. Offered to Take Care of Girl. What appears to be reliable information is to the effect that an old friend of the girl, a well-to-do woman, owning her own home, has made a definite request to Mr. Harris, asking that she be allowed to take charge of "Ollie," and give her such care and attention as may be necessary. This woman has been knowing the girl since her childhood days, and it is said that a high degree of mutual affection exists between the two. Friends who are interested in Miss Harris express the opinion that this offer should be accepted by Mr. Harris, as it would relieve the situation and make unnecessary the possibility of an application for a writ of habeas corpus which is being called of as a means by which the real condition of "Ollie's" mortality can be learned. There is a strange undercurrent of pastor which has been running for some time, carlyling intimations that the Rev. J. B. Adams, pastor of Concord Baptist Church, to which "Ollie" belongs, was associated with her father in securing her representation in her present place of employment. The pastor in question was sworn by his wife, who declared that, so far as her knowledge went, her husband had had nothing to do with the commitment of Miss Harris, and had made only one call to see her in a pastoral capacity since she had been taken away. Mrs. Adams added that in her opinion, the girl is best off where she is, and ought to be let alone by her friends. But on the other hand, friends who (Telegram to The New York Age) Newark, N.

After an extended examination of the witness, Mr. Henning informed Mr. Hoffman that notice would be sent him of the decision reached in the case. After a two months' wait, with no word from the District Attorney's office, Mr. Hoffmag, on December 7, wrote Mr. Banton, asking as to status of the Dent case. The following letter has been received by Mr. Hoffman, in which Mr. Banton states clearly and definitely that no further action will be taken in the case by his office. His letter is as follows: (COPY) DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE COUNTY OF NEW YORK CRIMINAL COURTS BUILDING NEW YORK. December 18th, 1822. Herman Hoffman, Esq.

He informed me that he has already communicated to you his conclusion that it is not a case of homicide. Dr. Charles Norris, Chief Medical Examiner, after a very careful post-mortem examination of the deceased, expresses the opinion that the death was due entirely to acute alcoholism.

Two bottles of medicine and a hypodermic needle were found in the dead man's pockets, and the police believe him to have been a drug addict and to have died from an overdose of some drug. The body was taken to the morgue, and had not been claimed on Tuesday, December 26.

This belief has had some substance for its growth, it is alleged, in a letter which is on file in District Attorney Ruston's office, supposed to have been written by Mr. Adams to Mrs. Hattie Whiting, a friend to Miss Harris, in which the minister is alleged to have made the promise that if Mrs. Whiting would cease activities of an (Continued on Third Page) (Telgram to The New York Age) Newark, N.

The tragedy occurred shortly after con on Sunday, December 24, at 47 West 139th street, where Bentley's wife has an apartment. Bentley and his wife had been living apart for some time, but were said to have been on friendly terms. Bentley is alleged to have called on his wife to wish her the season's greetings and to get a chair, given him by his mother, that Mrs. Bentley had been keeping. As he entered the apartment, Shields rushed out and attacked him with a razer, inflicting several wounds about the face and body. Amazed, Bentley backed away and fired pointblank into his assailant's mouth. The wounded man was rushed to Harlem Hospital, but died soon after his arrival. Bentley went to Dr. U. C. Vincent's office and had his wounds dressed and then surrendered to the police. He was arraigned in the Homicide Court on Tuesday and released on $5,000 bail. His plea was self-defense. Bentley was formerly the proprietor of the Lafayette Cafe at 132nd street and Seventh avenue, but recently opened a cigar store and cafe on Leopox avenue near 143rd street. Shield's funeral was held from the undertaking parlor of Thomas J. Gosim, 132nd street and Fifth avenue, on Wednesday morning. Banton's Letter. Work of Rev. J. W.

In the Matter of Herbert, Dent, Dear Doctor — On June 27th last, Herbert Dent, a 19-year-old Negro bad, was removed from the West 153th Street Station of this City to the Harlem Hospital, but had died before he left the station house. I am informed that the cause of death as a result of autopsy performed by you was given as "Acute Alcoholism" Evidence in my possession—and which by the way, was recently submitted to the District Attorney of this County—established the fact that this boy was in the custody of a Policeman in the said precinct, in the early hours of the morning in question; that for nearly an hour after he had been placed under arrest, his pitiful screams and pleas for mercy were heard in the neighborhood and had aroused some of the people to voice their protest for the continued heatings that were being administered to him; that during this entire period this boy had been beaten with a blackjack and two nightsticks, both of the latter having been broken as a result of the brutal attack that had been made upon the person of this boy; that when this lad had ceased his cries and was no longer able to move his body, some of the officers had administered portions of the contents of a bottle of whiskey and which also had been sprinkled upon the clothing and body of this boy. That notwithstanding the efforts made to revive this boy, he no longer responded to such "treatment" as he was dead. Now in the name of mercy, a lad in the custody of the police, who, before the brutal assault committed upon him was normal, quiet, and not under the influence of liquor and thereafter subjected for an hour to a most dastardly assault with blackjack and nightsticks—and then an attempt made to revive him by a liberal dose of whiskey—cah his death be characterized as due to "Acute Alcholism," is indeed a mystery. In the interests of justice and fair play it is highly desirable that this matter be looked into with a view of doing substantial justice, as it would seem to be incredible that the cause of death, in the light of the above facts could be ascribed to "Acute Alcoholism," more particularly as the photograph of the person of this lad taken immediately after his death, shows visible signs of extreme brutality. As further action by the District Attorney really depends upon a re-examination of the autopsy performed by you, I should very much appreciate your giving this matter your careful re-consideration. Very truly yours, HERMAN HOFFMAN Lea la Sección en Repubilol que Publica Todas las Semanas El New York Age Con Noticias Interesantes de Centro y Sud America. w. J. W.

Dr. assigned to its pastorate, was in the It is the parent church of a great it was, located at 127-131 West 89th on greatly depleted, of its race house-followed the housing migration to the Brown's coming to New York, and with which he had nothing whatever to do, which had taken away nearly, if not quite a hundred of some the best and most active workers in the church. It is related that on a particular Sunday, morning in the summer of 1904, the clouds of discouragement hung so heavily over Mother Zion and its faithful few that the pastor wellnigh lost heart. Concluding a powerful sermon, even before the congregation had left the building (they were still in 80th street), Dr. Brown came down from the pulpit and said to one of the trustees, "Brother, I am going to quit. The going is too hard for me. Give me a mule and forty acres—it is far easier than this." The trustee to whom he spoke was a wise man. He saw the young minister's earnestness, but he divined also a possible reserve supply of power yet to be called on. So he told the pastor: "Oh, no, you are not going to quit. This is a man's job and only a man can handle it. You are a man, so go back into that pulpit and finish the job." Brown went back. What Brown Has Accomplished A resume of the work for the period ending December, 1922, the 114th of Mother Zion's existence, and the 9th of Dr. Brown's pastorate, shows just how well this man has handled this man's job. In 1914 the Church of the Redeemer edifice at 151-3 West 136th street was purchased for $22,000, and improvements totalling $10,000 were immediately made. A few months later, the property at 129 West 136th street was purchased for a Brotherhood House, and the residence at 155, immediately adjoining the church on the West, was taken over for a parsonage. In 1917, so great had become the demands made by the rapidly growing congregation that the church building was remodeled and enlarged at a cost of $10,000, expended on the land of worship, a vacant lots, located on 137th street, just in rear of church, were purchased for an additional $12,000. And on June 25, just past, there was a celebration of great significance—the burning of the law mortgage on the church building. This was followed on October 29, with a burning of the mortgage on the two 136th street lots. The membership that was only three hundred in 1913 is now 3,000, and the present facilities are entirely inadequate. In consequence, Dr. Brown and his officers have been casting about for a means of expansion. So in 1920, the four story, 14 room private house at 142 West, 137th street, ayst on the east of the two vacant lots already acquired, was brought for $17,000, and just a few days ago, on December 19, title was taken to the similarly improved property at 140, costing $14,000. This last purchase gives Mother Zion a 100-floor frontage on West 137th street, and if it will be on this site that a new church edifice will be erected, work on which is scheduled to begin April, 1923. Spring Drive for Funda The building fund, already of good proportions, will be augmented by a Spring Building Fund Drive to be conducted by all the auxiliaries of the church, the pastor, officers and members cooperating. Plans have already been drawn for the new building, which is to cost approximately $300,000. When the new edifice is completed, the old building will be rebuilt into a model Community House. The architect's plans have been drawn and they provide for converting the present church building into a four-story structure. The first floor will contain the business headquarters of the church organization. Administration rooms for housing of the various boards, trustees, class leaders, deacons, deaconesses, etc., will be on this floor. The second floor will be made into a chapel and the fourth floor into a gymnasium. A new departure for church activity is embodied in the use to be made of the third floor. It is to be converted into a dormitory, the rooms of which are to provide living quarters for such of the old members of the congregation who would otherwise be without a house. This dormitory will provide accommodations, also, from time to time, for such transient visitors as may be guests of the church. Activities of the Brotherhood will be maintained at its home, in the building at 129 West 136th street. This is a social center, containing a reading room, and furnishing games and other amusements for the men.

The Problem of James Crow: "Jim" Grown Up By CLEMENT WOOD Author of "Nigger" (In the New York Herald) THE PROBLEM One tenth of the population of the United States consists of Negroes. In southern Southern States the whites outnumber the colored race by less than 2 to 1; in nine New England and Middle Atlantic States the Negroes are outnumbered more than 27 to 1. In Mississippi and South Carolina, by the 1910 census, the population with African blood is a distinct majesty; in Nevada and Idaho the whites led by more than 370 to 1. In the eleven counties of the Black Belt of Alabama 75 per cent, are Negroes; in ten mountain counties in the same State the colored proportion is almost negligible. And all the time one man out of every ten the length and breadth of the country is a Negro. Or is he a man? There are Southern blazerhead politicians who are elevated to office on the one plank that he is not. Yet after all this may not be a real question, for Orientalists are discriminated against, without implication that they are not human. Orientalists are, of course, citizens whose foothold in the States is held by the Negroes, who are hobbled; while the Negroes were brought here by the whites, the first ones as long as 1619. They were brought here as things, not as men; as property, not as human beings. Legally, by virtue of the three civil war amendments, they are citizens, with all the rights of citizens; legally, they are men. In practice—that is perhaps a different story. What shall we do with them? For citizens accept as an unconditional an unconditional use of intensifying race conflicts, riots, lynchings, killings and retaliatory murders. What are the possible methods of solving the problem? Some have suggested that we cut them out of the body social, as a cancer, either by extermination or by ferrying them back to the dark land they came from. Experience has proved the impracticability of banishing them. We are hardly so callously un-Germanian or inhuman as they are. It is a queer cancer too—the race that can claim the Russian national poet Pushkin, the English musician Coleridge-Taylor, the French novelist Dumas and Rene Maran, and, in our own land, the authors of the Negro Spirituals, of the Uncle Remus folklore, the ragtime music and dancing; such leaders in the art world as Berleigh, Cook, Europe, among musicians; the Johnson, Braithwaite, Henry O. Tanner and others among artists, and, in wider public fields, Booker T. Washington, Moton and DuBois. If we are not to get rid of them we must deal with them as human beings granting either full social justice or limited social justice. Seedings of limited social justice have usually produced only unending discord. If amity and mutual progress have resulted, the sowing has usually been of full social justice. Let us see what we have sown and reaped. For a quarter of a century my home was in or near Birmingham, Ala., one of the results of that sojourn in medievalism is the novel "Nigger." During this time contact was inevitable with Southern whites and blacks whose memory reached earlier than the admission of the State in 1819; this gave a vista of the whole dark history. During slavery, when Negroes in white minds and white laws, were not human kind treatment and much that was not. The whole institution was saturated with that greatest of all unkindness: the failure to acknowledge the right of individual growth and expansion among the Negroes. The turnover of the 1865-70 amendments was as abrupt as an act of special creation; thousands of illiterate carefellow hands were made legal masters and their cultured white overlords were demoted the ballot. The 1868 Legislature of Louisiana was half Negro; South Carolina had 88 colored lawmakers out of 153; the civil law of the KKK was South Carolina and the new constitutions. From that day to this, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments have been studied violated by Southern law, in word and enforcement, the Negro as a race does not vote, and is often kept in a state of peonage, at times approximately slavery. The illiterate country Negro today—the farm worker, the lumber worker—is usually bound out by a contract that impoverishes him increasingly as the years pass. Often he cannot leave the plantation where he works; he and his burden of debt must be sold together to pay for it. He pays off the swelling hill of indebtedness to the white owner and his ally the white, storekeeper—and the whites do all the bookkeeping, with a customary 20 per cent. added "for carrying"—an arrest for some trumped up charge, such as vagrancy or "fragrancy," puts him deep in debt to the State, from which the white owner "bys him out" and sets him to work again, this time with the plantation owner, of storekeeper, traveling salesman, of court, of sheriff: in a word, of the white race. In the city his lot is slightly easier. But he is still arrested, and after being freed, bought and sold like a cow or a pig; he is the victim of the vicious fee system; he is subject to constant extortion from merchants, especially under the clever instalment dollar given and a dollar a week for life. This is what often meets him in the South. And in the North? Where Negroes live in large numbers, if their salary is the same as a white worker's, they at times pay a rent twice as charge; merchants in the Negro sections charge a low tax that is sometimes as high as the cost of the city charged to whites. The white hawk does not become a dove as he flies toward the snow. "Without Representation." Birmingham has a population of some 220,000; nearly half of these are Negroes. A few years ago there has been no material change since less than 20 of these voted, these being chiefly Digital office holders, postmen and the maids. These more than 30,000 adult Negroes make of voting sign. Mississippi The Skin Game. has a quarter of a million male Negroes of voting age. "Though I asked many Mississippiians about it," writes Beulah A. Ratliff in *The Nation*, "I never heard of a Negro voting or attempting to vote in Mississippi. A prominent man from the north of the State told me, 'They don't come to the polls in our part of the State. None of our niggers are crazy to commit suicide.' How are they excluded? First, the "grandfather clause," so dear to the Southern States, which provides that all men who voted in 1860, or their descendants, may vote still. This enfranchisates at once all the offspring of white men who voted in 1860, or their descendants. Backrooms farmers who can scarcely make an "X" in place of a signature, are adjudged by white polling clerks to be literate; Negro graduates of the Harvard and Yale law schools are excluded by the operation of the same law. In the episode in "Nigger," in which the educated Negroes try unsuccessfully to register for suffrage, the concluding remark is typical of the good humored toleration that so far has minimized the shedding of blood. "Well," observed the Negro Jim Ricks, "us didn't get allowed out, anyhow." The World War came—the Negroes were called to do their bitter bit to make the world safe for democracy. It was made safe; and then, Negroes were forbidden to march in the victory parades; Negro officers were stripped of their uniforms and cruelly-beaten, for daring to wear the insignia of their country; at the Maryland State convention of the American Legion, to take a type case, the colored delegates were offered seats at luncheon in a separate room. To a man they walked out and purchased their lunches elsewhere. The Negroes were called to the Negro; the German bullet did not turn aside, because of the hue of his face. It was only the patrons at home who used him, and then twisted the crown of thorns deep into his brow. The Three R's There are those who look to education as the solution, or one of the chief aids toward it. The colored population of Alabama is almost as great as the white. The value of public schoolhouses, 1913-1914, was: white. $7,008,536. Negro. $666,850. The white grove, 104. Negro. $6,900. The white grove, 104. Salaries of white teachers, $3,682,314. of Negroes, $474,749. Pupils enrolled per teacher, White, 41. Negro, 70. One county, Dallas, in the Black Belt, spends per white child, $17.35. per colored child, ninety cents. Result: Throughout Alabama, white illiterates, 10 per cent. Negro illiterates, 40 per cent. This is the statistical result; the result in crimes caused by poverty and ignorance and the result in stunted minds and souls is beyond computation. The three R's in the negroes are not Reading, 'Rilting and 'Rithmetic; they are Rope, Riot and Racew. In spite of everything the Negrome- tries, as long as we let him, an easy going, happy souled optimist. He walks in music; his words have not been dried by the sireco of business efficiency out of their golden, haunting rhythm. His religious life is deep and primitive. But what of the day when he learns that the white man's God is on the side of the red seated lynchman, will he always re- serve him, or will he own his own black god climbing within him? Let us begin to study the harvest of this sowing. The Negro is, statistically, both North and South, less lawabiding than the white. Compulsory illiteracy is a large cause; the fact that he is arrested by white officers and tried before a white jury and judge, help swell the figures "All coons look alike to me" is a popular joke among Southern prosecutors and jurymen; "you can't tell one nigger from another; they're all guilty of torture of the poor." "Addition to the due" process of law there is Judge Lynch's court, constantly invoked by Southern whites against the Negroes for offenses real or imaginary Of course, it is only for rape, you may object that lynchings take place. During the recent war four white patricians of a Negro woman who was not worked after the order had gone forth that every one must work. The woman was pregnant. They whipped, tarred and feathered her. She lost her child and almost lost her life as a result. The women sentenced to six months each in jail; not a day of this was served. Recently in Mississippi, Miss Ratiffi states, Negroes were illegally killed so offences as trying to enter a movie theatre on the white side; trying to enter a white restaurant; helping a Negro murderer to escape; drawing a gun on a white man. There is, of course, a law on the statute hooks to cover these offences, but there is piracy in Judge Lynch's trials that the written law lacks. From equally reliable sources we learn that Negro pregnant colored wife in Georgia, named Margaret was hanged, burned and disembowlled, because said that if she knew the names of the lynchs of her husband she would turn them over to the police. In Arkansas, a Negro orgrandfather of seventy-two was lynched for endeavoring to protect his two granddaughters from two white ravishers. The Mixing Bowl. In Texas white men started a race riot, shooting up a Negro quarter, because a local Negro school teacher had published in a Chicago paper the true story of a Texas lynching. The Chicago race riot starred when white hoodwuns were stoned to death for drowning a Negro boy in bathing. An Arkansas race riot was caused by orderly protest against wholesale cheating on the part of white plantation owners. Out of 254 lynchings between 1914 and 1918 in the twenty-eight wight was rape assigned as the charge. Other alleged offenses were stealing huge quarrel with employer; creating disturbance, misleading a mob; demanding 81.50 dollar bill for washing; bring a Negro minister. More than fifty colored women Lawbreaking THE NEW YORK AGE; SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1918. have been lynched in the last絮萄 a years—obviously not for rape. When you search for the motives underlying this bloody record, two stand out prominently: a desire to retain economic supremacy and a desire to retain purity of the nation. You can prevent intermingling of Negro men and white women. What is a white man? What is a Negro? Where does the one end and the other begin? In the Spanish and French West Indies a person having less than one-fourth Negro blood was regarded as white; before 1850, in Virginia, the rule remained Negro blood, the distinction today is drawn against any person having as much as one-eighth Negro blood. Since 1790 the census enumerators, however, have accepted the popular Southern opinion and ranked as Negro any person known or believed to have any Negro blood whatsoever. Dr. DuBois says that more than one-third of the Negroes in the United States are Negro blood. If the policy of the Southern whites has been to keep the races apart, it has failed completely. There are two bywords of Southern thinking: that are interesting in this connection: first, that no Negro woman has any virtue; second, that immorality among the Negro woman keeps white women pure. Cases of colored bywives were once common talk in the South; they still exist. There is little color line drawn among immoral women. In the country districts of the South, where Joose white women are scarce, the colored women are always liable. Thus the color of purity, caused largely by white men—by young men of all families and by adults of the lower white classes, in the main. It is interesting, in this connection, that Dr. Manuel de Olivierre Lima of Brazil, speaking this year before the Institute of Politics at Williams College, advocated intermarriage between the races as the solution of the problem. It was practiced, he stated, in Brazil; as a result, there are no discerned races so be found there. "Pure races," he stated, "are historical error." The Brazilian solution of the racial problem of the colored race, at least, is certainly wiser, more promising and, above all, more human than any solution by thorough separation or segregation." Brazil, the doctor may be reminded, is a backward land compared to ours; perhaps one of the reasons may lie here. But every witness is entitled to be heard from, so grievous is the problem. James Crow. The cornfield name of the field hand in saliva times was Jim Crow. Jim Crow is sixty years older now. He has earned a smaller of education; his children are found in small members in all our higher institutions of learning; they take an increasing part in the art, the finance, the direction of our country. There is a large residuum still low; but Jim Crow, the field hand in saliva times, is private. James Crow, Sergeant James Crow, Lieut. James Crow, Captain James Crow during the war; he will not forget this. There are gentle Negro leaders of the Booker T. Washington-Moton school, who advise acceptance of aggregation, of Jim Crow street cars, strains, restaurants, theaters, schools, Y. M. C. A. s, Y. W. C. A. s, churches and the rest, not the most independent flowering of each race. The social bond is rather close, to promise success for this plan. Any Southern white leader of importance, once you secure his intimate opinion on the question, will admit that the whole working out tends toward amalgamation. Not that he favors it; but that it is happening. Any thoughtful Negro leader, however much he may object to the furtive way in which the absorptio is taking place, will admit that this is the apparent end of the process. What is the least we must give the modern Negro? Education—as full and free and ample as the white child should get. This is the first step. Political rights. The complete right to express their opinion in matters of social welfare through duly elected representatives. A fair bestowal of the ballot, with or without a literacy test honestly administered would give Negro representatives wherever the Negroes are in the majority, and choose one of their own race. A system of proportional representation would give them, one-tenth of the members of Congress; they are the majority of the county with 75 per cent. of Negroes always be represented by one of the minority? Economic justice, on the same terms as it is given to white men. The right to labor for a similar wage; the right to purchase without gouging and extortion. Out of this will come—as it is beginning to come in Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham and other towns—wealthy Negroes, who own their own residences, stores, banks, office buildings. The Negroes, who are afraid of crimes of violence. The white race may have progressed further in this respect. Legal justice. Equality before the tour—which will insensibly spring out of education, political and economic justice and equitable Negro participation in the administration of the law. Beyond this no man can say with certainty. What worked satisfactorily in Brazil may fail here. The furtive commingling is a fact that increases; until science has spoken more authoritatively there is no need to go into the question of legalized commingling. The Alternative. Every Southernner who desires well of his homeland must favor educational, political and economic justice to the Negro. The South is mentally and spiritually sterile; this is one result of keeping two-fifths of its children as close to the animal as can be maintained. No man who wishes well for that medieval section of the land can fail to regret this sterility and seek to end it. More than this, the constant insignification of friction will earn, some unexpected day, a result undreamed of. The Negroes were sheep once; they are no longer. During the war they played the part of men, and men do not willingly lay aside the manly role for a squirring one. There was a time when a Negro was expected to stand by and see the men of his family lynched, the women of his family reviled, without prosecution that time is ending. Blood is a missionary, and blood is more blood. It is in the hope of averting the blood down that may spring from this landwide injustice that members would not for a mere delicacy and WITH OUR GIRLS DEAR SISTERS: I know you all have been wondering where I went to but I am still in old Augusta, GA, where the blues tails flow above and the times roll by in joy.

Read my story: BECKY'S CHRISTMAS DREAM All alone by the kitchen fire, set little Becky, for every one else had gone away to keep Christmas and left her to take care of the house. Nobody had thought to give her any presents or takes her to any merry making or remembered that Christmas should be made a happy time for every child, whether poor or rich. She was only twelve years old, this little girl from the poor-house who was bound to work for the farmers' wife, was not the father or mother no friends or home but this, and as she sat alone by the fire her heart ached for someone to love and cherish her. Becky was a shy, quiet child, with a thin face and wistful eyes that always seemed trying to find something that she wanted very much. She worked away, day after day, so patiently and silently that no one ever groomed what curious thoughts filled the little cropped head. She learned hidden under the blue checked floor. To-night she was wishing that there were fairies, in the world who would whisk down the chimney and give her lots of pretty things, as they did in the delightful fairy tales. "I am a I am I am a poor and as lonely as Cinderella, and need a kind God-Mother to help me as much as ever she did!" said Becky to herself. She sat on a stool staring at the fire, which didn't burn, for the felt too much out sore we care whether looked looked or not. There is an old belief that dumb things can rasp for one hour on Christmas Eve. Now Becky knew nothing of this story, and no one can say whether that happened was true or false. But she did not tell it. But certain it is when Becky compared herself to Cinderella she was amazed to hear a small voice reply, "well my dear, if you want advice, I shall be very glad to give you some, for Ive had much experience in this life." Becky stared about her all she saw was the old gray cat, blinking at the fire. "Did you speak Tabby?" said the child at last. "If you wish a good mother here I am." Becky laughed at the idea; but puss, with her silver gray coat, white hand-kerchief crossed on her bosom, kind motherly face and coy purs, did make a good quakerish god-mother after all. "Well, ma'am, I am ready to litten," said Becky respectfully. "First, hy child, what do you want most," asked the godmother, quite in the fairy book style. "To be loved by everybody," answered Becky. Good luck with the cat. "I'm pleased with that answer, it's a delight, and I'll tell you how to get your wish. Learn to make people love you by loving them." "I don't know how," sighed Becky. "No more did I in the beginning." said Puss. "When I came her, a shy kitten, I thought only of keeping out of every body's way, for I was afraid of every one. I hid under the harm and only came out when no one was near. I wasn't happy for wanted pet, but for loved one to begin. (To be continued next week) Bye, bye, to all and a Happy New Year, your sister. TINY. Augusta, Ga. LITTLE CHIQUITA PART 1. They had been friends for such a long, long time. In fact they had been friends since the time when she was a tiny little tot, holding his hand, vainly endeavoring to keep up with him and his sturdy strides. And she they had been parted. And worse still she was not coming back. Who was she? Why surely you know her. You've seen her every day. Perhaps in your own home. Of course not this particular she, but one just like her. A dainty graceful girl; a happy; a seemingly bubbling over with joy. She could be truthfully called "Any Girl" but her real name was Chiquita Chiquita was pretty. Unearthly pretty. Carling brown hair caressed her brow and each curl seemed to catch the non-resisting sunbeams and weave a mini flashing light on her face. Eye piercing, perhaps black, could not tell, glancing with a flick that seemed a token of some heavenly abode. So small it frall. An anger sent to cheer the world and do some good deed before returning home, ple, old and young, stared at her as everyone loved here; some more than others. Chiquita lived in the city. Indeed she had never been to the country in her life. The baby and only girl, in that family, she was terribly spoiled. Her two older brothers, Leon and Claus, idolized her. So did her parents. In fact, everybody did in the city with all the joy she ought to be on just perfect. But she wasn't. She had everything reasonable that she wanted but she was never entirely satisfied. There was always, something to disturb her. She just couldn't be punished. Perhaps that was the main cause of the entanglement between Chiquita, Malcolm her childhood and Malcolm says it to Leon's bring her on a visit. I cannot say what was the cause for the feminine mind is as variable as the weather. You must therefore judge, for yourself who was at fault. Leon, Chiquita's oldest brother, was first mate aboard the ship "Lurraire." a delayed equity. It is not social equality that is needed now—it is social justice. When this is divided there have been cases where the abuse, of oppression was worn on the other foot. Can The Seems Learn In Time? When one thinks of HAIR and TOILET PREPARATIONS, one, at the same time, thinks of 'PORO' The "QUALITY" Preparations Known throughout the United States and Foreign countries for the GOOD they do! —WRITE— PORO COLLEGE ST. LOUIS, MO. Poro Corner It was there he met and became friends with Calvert Hall. Calvert was a regular Rudolph Valentino. He could outdo the cow in the slinging ball. (As he did in the movie, he described him.) A southernborn, born and bred in Florida, nature had lauded all her gins' on him. Romantic quick tempered, sullen in his hatred, passionate in his love. His curling black hair seemed to invite the tender love of his tall, handsome, very obliging. No wonder Chiquita thought him her much looked for hero. And basking in the warm lovelight of Calvert's eyes Chiquita learned her first lesson in love. Kate Calvert, Kate Calvert, Kate Calvert. She had much so lea When Calvert first glimpsed Chiquita he was startled. He had had expected to see a little girl, who clamored loudly for lollipops and was continually giggling and blushing; with pig tails and pinafores; just a regular nuisance. But now! Why, she was a vision. The temptation was great for her, and she was a time pass quicker and more pleasantly. Yet Calvert was honorable; and it wasn't exactly honorable to deliberately flirt with the sister of your host. And so to avoid such things, Calvert resolved to treat Chiquita as though she was a little girl still in pig tails and pinafores. He studiously avoided paying compliments. Instead, he told contextually of little girl and chihuahua names. All of Chiquita imaginable. Used to admiration, Chiquita was not a little pigated at Calvert's apparent indifference. And so she set forth, fully armed, to shatter the walls of Calvert's coldness. Had she but known it there was no need to make an effort. For days Calvert had been suffering from a severe cold. Prepared to capture Chiquita's heart he was disgusted with himself for allowing Chiquita to capture him with less than no trouble. "But then, she is so sweet. And when my time is up in the Navy," so mused Calvert to himself, "I can go back home and take little Chiquita with me and—pshaw! How stupid. Why I believe I have gone crazy." And that he had been wrong, though he had outwitted Cupid. But was little Cupid laughed softly and drew the net more closely about Calvert. PART 2. They were sitting in the swing on th porch; Cavert was selling Chiquita of his home in, that beautiful land of sunshine and flowers. While he talked he pictured Chiquita, standing grace throughout his soul, grance throughout his soul bring happiness. The picture seemed so real; he turned to Chiquita, and gently holding her hands, whispered, "Chiquita, mi—" But astonished at the sudden softening of his voice and alarmed at the hidden something in his eyes, Chiquita wrenched her hand free and fled. Thus began the sweetest story ever told. Calvert took his reflection in the mirror, 'Im honestly in love now. If I could just get out of the navy I take my darling away and wed seek happiness. The picture seemed so real; the floor, "maybe you doesn't." And then enthusiastically striking his palms together he cried, "I'll ask her!" Now it was Chiquita's time to play indifference, and she acted her part well. It is a good thing that the heart is well hidden for I'm sure Chiquita's heart would have betrayed her, it should so follown what Calvert was near. And she just knew that she loved him. Naturally she didn't tell him so and she took good care to avoid tete-a-tetes with him. Then one evening Chiquita's happiness seemed threatened. Instead of having another week's furlough Calvert and Leon were ordered to be ready to sail the following morning. Of course they were compelled, but he felt fully up to go away. Unhappy and tired, Chiquita wandered through the garden, pausing at the side of the lake. Standing in the moonlight, she looked like one of the woodland nymphs gently resting at the edge of the lake before joining her companions in their mad frolic. With a sigh, Chiquita looked into the lake. She saw Calvert's reflection in the water and turning half sobbed, half called, "Calvert." Holding her tenderly in his powerful arms Calvert, almost covered the one who had caused his little Chiquita one moment of unwhippease. Passing his hand gently over her hand he sought to soothe her as a mother would soothe a tired child. But so mother was ever more tempestuous that Calvert to kiss the pretty woman appealing to soothe her perfectly perplexed hands' to be blissed. Caring her fervered brow Calvert whispered, "tihiquita mia." Smiling at him, Chiquita hastily slipped her arms across his broad shoulders and gently clapped her hands about his neck. Such lips were made for man's destruction. And so he forged everything except that Chiquita was in his arms, and that doubt and uncertainty had fled. Slowly bending his head he kissed the tender warm yielding lips. PART 3. "But them—I" "To Florida" "Who with? "Whe—" "How long are you—" "Oh girls, stop, please stop, I cried Chiquita, you will wait a minute I will wait a minute I'm going with grandma to visit Mercedes and I'm going to stay with them until Ca-Leon's ship comes in and we are coming home on the ship with them." "Oh, you lucky day me. And you'll see your Romeon, too." Chiquita had been telling her friends of her proposed trip to Florida. Of course she was going to see Mercedes but since HE lived right near Mercedes it wouldn't be right not to. go and see HIS parents. (Yoc see she hadn't forgotten him yet.) And so it came about that she went to Florida. Almost her first questions were of Calvert. Of course Morel knew him and his parents, a young publicvidar at Calvert's home. The old people loved her and kept wondering why Calvert didn't return. Then one day Mercedes and Chiquita went to Calvert's home taking with them large bouquets of flowers which they had picked in the woods. "Just bringing in a little sunshine they claimed, made them smell so sweet. As Chiquita stood on that threshold smiling, her arms full of flowers, she heard a familiar step and turning behind Calvert. With a another exclamation Calvert stopped short and seemed afraid to move. Her mother came afraid to move, seeing her wilted. "My boy-her." Her word pos action into everyone. Calvert grabbed her in his arms and fairly hugged the breath out of her. As for Chiquita, in true little girl fashion she had dropped her flowers and fled. But Calver wasn't to be deserted like that. He soon caught Chiquita and made her pay toll for such naughty behavior. As- Chiquita laid her little head against his broad shoulders she thought of Malcolm and somehow she just wanted Malcolm more than she wanted anyone else. And as Calvert kissed her she wondered how it would feel to be kissed by Malcolm and to bear him murmur, "Chiquita mia." (END) AUTHOR'S NOTE—She is really engaged to Calvert, but being of the type who is never satisfied, she is tired of Calvert and wants her old boyhood sweetheart. Which one will win out in the end? N. A. A. C. P. LAUNCHES ANTI-LYNCHING DRIVE With the slogan, "Down With Lynching—We have Just Begun to Fight," the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold its annual meeting on the night of Tuesday, January 2, in the Town Hall, 43rd street, between Sixth avenue and Broadway, to start for the year 1923 its renewed campaign to end Lynching. The speakers at Tuesday night's mass meeting will be Rabbie Stephen S. Wise, orator and leader of his people; James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, winner of the Spingarn Medal for 1921, and head of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders, who have been organizing a million women for the fight against Lynching. An outstanding feature of the present G. Kelly, a White Texan, who will off the stakes of these attacks at the stake which he personally investigated recently for the National Association in Texas. BY JAMES K. MOOANS. Evidence of how insidious the kiku Klux Klan propaganda is being spread in northern communities was told to us recently. A trainee who runs out of Boston confided to a fellow protree of men with whom he is quite proficient that on arriving home a few evenings since he found in his clothes a batch of the Klux Klan literature, adding, "I don't know who could have put it there unless it was done by some one of the train crew." Of course, the solution of the act is quite easy. A number of the train crew on which he run that day is a "kluxer" having access to his locker he put this literature in the trainman's clothes which he was in incident should give us much food for thought. Kukutian is a machine is about perfected in the South; and is now wending its North. Those of us who think or believe, in the North are immune or sheltered from its attack are very much mistaken. "Even if that were true, our brother in the South has to face it day in and day out." You may ask the question: "What can I do?" Our humble advice is join the N. A. A. C. P. We do not know of another racial group of workers who appreciate and uphold the aims, ideas and accomplishments of this association more generously than the fraternity of P. A. C. P. There are so many reasons why our porters should become members that it is futile to sparticipate, but are resisting the porter of one thing which quite a few are already aware of: the "crackers" are swarming to northern communities. You come in contact with them in many out-of-way places. These places as a rule have only one hotel: if you should get "cut-out" there the hotel will be closed. The "MC Crander" gets into the town he is then apt to object to your coming in even via the kitchen route. With the N. A. A. C. P. combating all fragrant discriminations in northern communities a proprietor is more than likely to think twice before he refuses you food. It is with regret we admit that we are not a member, but as soon as this holiday clutch is lifted from our pocket—that is, when Mrs. H. dreckel that we have done our holiday duties by our church, our relatives and our friends—we are going to contribute the first amencinated ten dollar bill we get in our possession to this heroic association.

Whether this definite promise was made or not, it appears that it could not possibly have been kept, as information is to the effect that patients in state institutions are subject entirely to the care of the state's shortest members of the immediate family. Another angle to the situation is afforded by an anonymous letter received by The Age suggesting an investigation into the attitude assumed by Mr. Adams when he was called upon by Mrs. Hattie Whiting and sister, Mrs. Famie Yancey, of Albany avenue and Fulton street, these women being interested in securing Mr. Adams' cooperation in the plan to free "Ollie" from the insane hospital. Mrs. Whiting could not be located in prison when call was made at her home and her lawyer, Mrs. Yancey, ferried all questions on this phase of the matter to Mrs. Whiting at the same time expressing a perfect willingness to have the alleged facts in the case made public. Mrs. Dabney Not Godmoi:cr In The Age of December 23, the statement was made that Mrs. Rosa Dahney or 355 Cumberland street, to whose home Miss Hassard has died on the morning of September 13, the day she was first committed to the King's County Hospital was, according to information received, the godmother of Bilbao Under state of December 23, Mrs. Dahney or 355 Cumberland street, the Age in which she declares that although she "would consider it an honor to be the godmother of Otto, such is not the case" In her letter Mrs. Dahney makes the allegation that several of the statements concerning this case, as published in The Age, are false, but she does not point out any other misstatements than the one relating to her relationship as godmother. In another paragraph however, Mrs. Dahney makes the following request: I further request that, should you continue to publish matter in Miss Hassard's case, you refrain from using the name of any member of the Dahney family. The Age has no desire to do Mrs. Dabney an injustice, and stated clearly enough in the paragraph concerning her alleged relationship to Olivia that the statement was based on information received. It was lent a color of credibility by the fact that when "Olille" left home on the morning of September COLLEGE that has its students devote one half their time to actual useful work is so in line with common sense that we are amazed to put in execution by an ex-slave as a life never for his disfranchised race. Our great discoveries are always accidental; we work for one thing and get another.

In this contagious it is reported that when Mrs. Dabney visited "Olie" at Kings Park shortly after her removal from the county sanitarium on Clasdon avenue," she gave her visitor a cold reception. This attitude on part of Olivia was due, it is alleged, to the fact that she felt she had been betrayed by a supposed friend in whose home she had sought sanctuary, only to find that that friend had permitted antagonistic influences to control her movements. It is said that explanations, bringing out a claim that Mrs. Dabney was ignorant of the fact, helped to uprise the atmosphere to some extent and softened Olivia's feelings toward Mrs. Dabney. Mrs. Dabney's Letter The full text of Mrs. Dahney's letter to The Age is as follows: 355 Cumberland Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. December 23, 1922. Mr. Fred R. Moore, Editor, Turt New York Acct. 230 West 115th Street, New York. Dear sir: While I can appreciate your eagerness for news as an editor of a newspaper, think it is more than essential that you know information given you is absolutely true. This is important for more than one reason. My daughter, (Miss) Mabel G. Dahney, informed me of course, of her telephone conversation with you last Wednesday. This and your publication last week in me Miss Olivia Harris has caused me to watch your paper very carefully (for further assertion in the particular case. As a consequence, I find that you have published several false statements. I not a certain amount of shrewdness, or efforts at same, in your statements concerning the particular case, yet I know that the matter printed is not true. I wish to especially call your attention to a statement which concerns me personally namely: "Mrs. Dabney is Olivia's god-mother. Who told you that you should wish to request herewith that you specifically correct this statement, in next week's (December 30th) issue of The New York Age, for reasons best known to myself. Although I would consider it an honor to be the godmother of Olivia, such is not the case. Too, I further request that you continue to publish matter in Miss Harris's case, you refrain from using the name of any member of the Dabney family. Honoring therewith no further need for you to be to any false statements concerning me or those in whom I am particularly interested, I remain. Respectfully." ROSA F. DABNEY. RELIEF FOR NEW BERN DIRECT TO RACE BODY Advices received in New York City from the stricken town of New.Bern, N. C. indicate that friends here who are anxious to help the suffering colored people of that place who lost their homes and household goods through the terrible fire which devastated the community on Friday, December 1, should send contributions, whether money or goods, direct to the colored relief committees, instead of to the municipal or Red Cross organization. This is made necessary because of the alleged discrimination practiced by Red Cross officials, in distributing relief to the sufferers. In the beginning the local relief committee was composed of both white and colored citizens, and the race sufferers were awarded their rightful proportion of all supplies. More than $50,000 and an immense amount of clothing, bedding, food, etc., were collected by this committee. Then the Red Cross made an appropriation of $35,000 to be used on condition that that organization have control of the situation. Immediately there began a condition of trouble. It has been charged the number of the smaller, small number, compared to the colored, were given not only the lion's share of the goods, but were allotted of all the best, leaving only remnants of various sorts for members of the race. Complaints to the mayor and members of the local relief committee brought about a meeting at which suspicion of judgment was requested until that body could make investigation. In the meantime, the churches and some of the fraternal organizations have taken hold and arranged to distribute clothing, food and other supplies to the colored sufferers, independent of the Red Cross organization. Cooperation with this movement can be effected by sending contributions direct to Rev. R. I. Johnson, West Street Graded School, New Born, N. C. "MAGS POUR Geen veces ps ick % . <5! Tie National.

According to a special dispatch from Chicago last week. the race riots of 1919, which prevailed for eight days in parts of that city, will cost the taxpayers over half a million dollars. This estimate was based on the approval by the City Council Finance Committee of” eighteen death claims amounting to $81,000. Te city had paid previously $20.00 for five other’ deaths and probably will be com- ‘pelled ta pay, Sor fifteen more attributed to the riots. The State law of Illinois holds a municipaiity liable for damages for all persons killed or injured during ‘a riot, in which they -were not partici pants. ‘The total number hurt as a result of the riots, aégording to the investigatinn reported: by the Lowden commission, was $43. OF this number MB were colored. 178 white and the remainder undetermin- ed as to race. On the basis of the City Council's settlement at $4.50) for each death, the fifteen other deathy will cost $67,500. Relatives of the thirty-eight victims of the mob wall receive a min- imum of $169,300. Of the S43 injured, thirty-three have fled suits for $170,- 000 and three have cbtaintd judgments amounting to $11,375. Maintenance of the regular police on riot duty, the sher- ifs expenses for special depunes and the bill. of the State’s attorney an riot ¢ases go to make up the total of $502- SSI. No allowance has yet been made for damages to property, which may carry the total even higher. OF course ne amount af blond money can atone for the loss of human hfe due to moh violence. permitted to run un checked by the lawful authorisies.

Lugard presented in a recent Edinburgh Review, must realize that our race problem here in the United States is only a phase of a race issue that the whole world confronts.” Perheps no book recently issued tas done more to alarm ‘the white races o fthe world and to make them feel that their over throw ‘by colored races was imminent than Mr. Stoddard’s book In spite of the fact that serious students of anthropology and his toryihave pointed out that Mr. Stoddard’s conclusions: are not based upon any sound scholarship or careful research, “The Ris ing Tide of Color” has been’ widely read-and has wielded a great infaence upon average minds. it During the visits which I have made to Washington in the last,two years, I have seen copies of the book.on the desks or in the shelves of s6 many members of Congress that I veriture to guess that the book has been read -by almost every xenator and representative.

A VIEWS and REVIEWS. | WHAT DO THEY REQUIRE? etn One“of our correspondents whose letters we most highly vale has sent us 2 clipping from the Greensboro, N. C, “Daily News in which it is related how ‘forty masked men in Ku Klux Kla regalia aroused & colored man from sleep and took him out.of h home-after midnight, carried him into the woods and whipped hin The ‘colored man who was thus treated was 1. E. Hall, graduate of Hampton, who has béen a co-worker with. Dr. Frisse of Hampton, with Dr. R. R. Moton and Booker T. Washington He is at present in the cooperative extension work in agricultur and home economics among Negroes, being partly in the pay the State of North Carolina and of the government. * Mr. Hall was taken out of his home by this crowd, carrie into the woods and, according to the report in the Greensbor “Daily News.” submitted to an inquisition as follows: ° QUTSTION:—Did you say the Dyer AntisLynching Bill would pass, and that for every Negro lynched the white people would have to pay $15,000? . ANSWER :—No, 1 did ot say that. + Q—Well, did you not say that if the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Gid not. pass that the Negroes would stop lynching by Iynching = few white folks? + _ANo, I never gave utterance to apy such statement. Q.—What do you do around Chadbourn? AI don't do much of” anything around Chadbourn, Q—AWhat kind of work do you do? o, A—Extension work. + Q—Who employs you?" AI am employed by the extension service, department of agri- culture, Q--What do you do? A—Organize and work with Negro farmers throughout the state. Q.—That is just what we understand. You are organizing Ne~ grocs, against whites throughout the state. A.—That is ont so, My business i sto assist farmers to do bettte farming and help them solve their farm problems. Q.—We did not come here to hear an agricultural lecture. Take _ him, boys, and whip him some anyhow. The mob then proceeded to whip Mr. Hall by making’ his fie down on his face and beating him across the back with we ropes. . From the acount given in the “News” it can be judged, tha Mr. Hall is a man of great courage. of far greater courage thar any one-of the mob of dirty cowards who attacked him. Wher they had whipped him for a while they stopped and asked hin what he had to say. He calmly answered, “I have nothing to say.’ He made no plex for mercy and did-not even give his persecutor: the satisfaction of making an explanation of his conduct. During the whole incident he asked only one question, and that was “Does it take all these men to whip one man?” We could fill a couple of columns about the brutality and the cowardice of these Ku Kluxers, but if we expressed our feelings it would merely tax our vocabulary of profanity. which is not very extensive. The must significant commentary on the whole affair is the one made by Mr, Hall himself. It gues to the heart af the whole situation, not only the individual situation of Mr. Hail but the situation uf every seli-respecting Negra in the Sonth. We quote Mr. Hall’s comment as given in the “Daily News,” as folluws: “For fifteen years since graduating fram Hampton, there has not been a work day that I did not get pay for. _ Many nights and sometimes Sundays I have worked. I own the house in which I live, and eight lots adjoining it. My house is painted and has six rooms. I have & small farm. I have endeavored to mind my own business and meddle with no man’s private life. If thin is not the type | of citicenship required of us, then what is required? If 2 man who ‘tends to his own business is not safe with his family in a home that he has bought and paid for, then where can he be safe? These reflections are far sadder than the beating itself, because they seem to present a” hopeless situation.” This experience naturally raises this serious question in Mr. fiall’s mind. He wants to know what is it that the South demands Mf the Negro. He has taken the South at its own word. He his ‘kept the law" according to the South, and yet. literally, he is eaten with many stripes. : | This question which is puzzling Mr.’ Hall je one which is ippermost in the minds of a great man¥ colored men throughout he whole South. The question is a simple one if they will look hard fact squarely in the face, and that fact is this: Unless a man as equal citizenship rights and privileges with all other citizens, nere property is no protection. Indeed, in some cases it becomes . liability. The rights of citizenship are sometimes thought oi and spoken f as abstract rights, but they are the rights upon which all other ights are based, even the fundamental right of the security of ife and property. Thr possession of material wealth is no guar- ntee of the fundamental rights where.a man is not covered by the o-called abstract rights. Indeed, the possession of wealth under uch conditions is often a temptation to others to violate the fun- lamental rights, _* MR. LATHROP STODDARD, kK. K. K. In his famous Birminglam specch President Harding: had the BB ee Re a Ne gape eee A TAINTED CONGRESS. Mipresentative George ft.

The letter read im part: “You will agree that all parte of rhe constitution should be enforeed equally and impartially and in no part nullified “With the greatest respect, may 1 drow your attention sto te fact that whereas the eighteenth amendment to the constitution is permissive in its autherization to Congress to pass legis. lation to enferce it, the vecand section of the fourteenth amendment ta the constitution which commands Congress to pass legislation to enforce it ie now scandalously and completely unenfore- ed and nullified. “With the grtatest respect. may also draw your attention to ts fact that with Aagrant and widespread dis- franchisement established by a mass of indisputable evidence now before Congress and by a common knowledge and the second sectica af sie four teenth amendment to the constitution unenferced. the very tenure of the of- fice vou hold and the representation of the lower house of Congress is tainted with unconstitutionality, “Unconstuutional tenure of office and illegal elections strike at the very heart of the moral sanctions behind laws and executive acts.” .

The winning streak of the Commonwealth Casino on Sunday night, December 24, when the New Jersey ‘State champions, th Perth Amoby Five, defeated them, 26-24, before the largest basket. ball crowd of ‘the season. F é ‘The local team played a great game, but were outclassed in the last half by their more experienced opponents, Two members of the New Jersey team wer responsible for their victory. These two—Davis, the lank center, and Thomas, former star forward of the New York League—were the ‘best players seen on the local ‘court this seasén. Even “Hop” Hubbard was puzzled at the play- ing of Thomas, who scored fourteen points fur?his team. During the first hali, the local boys kept a slight advantage over their opponents, and led them in points, 13-16, when the half ended. But in the second half they were soon overtaken, and the. Score alternated back and forth until ten minutes before the cna of the game. At this time the visiting team substituted Allen for Shear at guard, and Commonwealth forwards were sa closely suarded for the remainder of the game that they were compelled fo make all of their shots from thé center uf the floor. ‘This put he local team'on the defensive, and as the New Jersey team al- eady had a safe margin of points, they were able to delay the! same by passing the ball among themselves until the final whistle. | The summary of the game was as follows: Perth Amoby (26)! ~Regan, R.

Although the game was tough it was hard fought and close from the beginning to the end, the final score being 25-20. Melanion started the scoring for Lincoln but quickly followed with a penalty Lowery for the Defenders. Although the Lincoln boys outplayed their opponents during the first half, both sides seemed deficient in goal shooting and misplaced easy shots. The score at the end of this half was 11-31. In the next half, "Stretch" Grant, who was the arriving, was pot in at center, Barker going to forward, in place of Sanders' Grant's playing gave the local team an advantage over the Pennsylvania team. He outpaced Shirley and lowered in making several goals, as well as shooting two himself. The team traced back and forth during this half until about five minutes before the game ended, when a foul and two field goals gave the Defenders the kind that won the game for them. Picking All-Amer Of Colored Dr. Alexander Criticizes So Writers, Especially With Of Players From Some excellent suggestions are made by Walter G. Alexander of Orange, in a letter to the sports editor of the League with regards to the covering of football games. He admits that the school reporters exaggerate the part the game and minisitutes the part the game. He makes the following suggestion: In the future the newspapers should pay their interests in reporting sports, and a representative of the group who is competent to report the game and pass on the merits of players should treat each game, and the papers should not be dependent on the biased reports connected with the teams. In communication the shooting of enthall all star teams, he makes the following observation: The sporting editor of the New York Times in a recet article covering the foot ball season, said that the picking of an All-American Team had degenerated into a fance. I am just a little afraid that the same is true in the case of an All-American Colored Team. In two very important papers, for instance, McLean of Lincoln is given second place on this mythical Basketball game of fact, there was no quarter back in the present year who even approached McLean. It was said by the players on every opening team this generalship in running the team, and in taking advantage of the weaknesses of other teams was unexcelled, and had no superiors in kicking, and running back pints. As a defensive player few could equal him, and there was no "All-Southeastern Named by Mo Review of 1922 Season Ca Championship to Fisk A sity Defeated Fisk an (Special To The New York Age) Atlanta, Ga.-In an extended re- view of the 1922 football season, B.

Polit scored the most field goals for his team, although Skinner led in the number of points scored, with two field goals and six fouls to his credit. Lowery and Grant were stars for the whining team, with Lowery scoring fifteen of the twenty-five points. One of the causes the roughness of the game was Sims the defensive guard, who had to be taken out because of personal footing. The summary of the game was as follows: Lincoln (20) Defenders (25) Hamer R. F. Saumers Polit L. F. Lowery Skinner C. Butler McLean R. G. Simms Thompkins L. G.

Selections Made by Certain With Regard to the Placing in Lincoln Team e quarter back on any team who could carry the ball, either for short or long gains, as well as he did. While he was brilliant to lead back, yet was of the games except the Howard game, it was McLean who did the kicking. Another writer gives a place to Walls of Lincoln as a guard, when as a matter of fact, Walls was not a regular guard on the team, and seldom played a complete game. While he was not a regular guard, he too inexperienced to compete with either Carter or Diggs, and we would not claim a place for either of these on this stellar aggregation. "One writer leaves out Coston, when as a matter of fact he was the outstanding tackle of the year. On offensive he was impregnable and on offensive he was always aiding the runner. "One player whom every one seems to have overlooked is "Sty" Wood, right tackle on the Lincoln team. While two years there you have played in 15 yards through his tackle. This is possibly due to the fact that when a runner was once tackled by him he had no inclination to go in that direction and was then been charitable enough to give Lancaster a chance. I want to call every sporting editor's attention to this young fellow in future years. Not quite so flashy as Skinner who was out of form this year, yet he was still dependable both on defensive and outward getting down the field he was a terror to the man receiving kicks." "Eleven Morehouse Coach Causes Harvey to Award Although Atlanta Univer- sad Was Undefeated Institute, Payne College and Clark Uni- versity. This season's playing, according to Mr. Harvey, was not up to the standard of former years. He gives four reasons for this: 1. Loss of yardity players; 2. Lack of coaching; 3. New coach; 4. Too much emphasis placed on hap- bred forward passing. Morehouse and Knowville lost many of their old men; Morris Brown and Talladega had plenty of material but did not get results; Twisegree had too many errors of coaching. Atlanta University and Tennessee State Normal went through the season undefeated, but Mr. Harvey awards the championship title to Fisk, even though Fisk lost to A. U. early in the season. This defeat is attributed to the fact that Fisk had not secured a coach at that season. Sincerely, secured later is paid a high tribute to Fisk during the latter part of the season. Loosing to A. U. and Tennessee State by a similar score, 6 to 7, Fisk won all its later games from heavier teams, Tallahassee, 12-0; Knoxville, 12-7; Morehouse, 20-19, and Tuskegee, 44-0. Atlanta University played seven games, won by A. U. as follows: Knox Institute, 20-0; Haines Institute, 7-6; Payne College, 20-0; Fisk, 7-6; Tallahassee, 16-0; Clark, 20-0; Morris Brown, 18-0.

The speaker passed in review some of the great human movements of the world which show the program of Jesus Christ as being adopted as the working basis of civilized government. The speaker said, "In the condition of the world today, is the speaker said, a healthy prophecy of better things and a historical argument in favor of human justice." The force which we call evolution has proved that social order is being vitalized with the Christian principles laid down by the founder of Christianity two thousand years ago. We will begin at 10:30 next Sunday night after the regular evening services. The annual revival will begin with Watch Night. Three new members joined the church during the day.

First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock services on Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached a wonderful sermon. He took for his text, *Sat Matthew 6:12. "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." It is rather a hard thing to forgive anyone who has done you a wrong. But God said we must forgive them, as we might expect to forgive us. 2 to 12 hours St. Joseph school had its Christmas exercises, Miss Maggie Johnson having charge of the program. Recitations were given by Master Kenneth Bough, George Hogans, Dennis Hogans, Dorothy Frazier, Louise Wilkerson, Lilly Seay, Cornelia Hogans, Dorothy Joseph and Joseph Cantwell.

Grace Congregational Church The Rev. A. C. Garner is continuing his good work of practical preaching at Grace Church in the "Y." Speaking last Sunday on the subject, "The Shining of the Star into a World of Gloom," he took a shot at the stupidity of Harlem colored people who were making Jews and Gentiles rich without even asking that the white merchant should at least employ a single black person. It is clustively by Negroes. It is true that colored people should make more demands upon the people with whom we spend our money. Those who heard the sermon say it was unique and able, indeed an unusual Christmas sermon. Men made up the majority of the audience. The church gave tokens of appreciation to Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. Tam; the Young People Meeting gave Christmas donation to Cleveland G. Allen and Peter Brown. An event of unusual interest was the celebration Thursday, December 21. of Forefathers day, Geo. Couens, A. T. Strickland and Miss Mariam L. Woodward.

The Mission chapel was packed, standing room at a premium. The evening services were given over to the usual service, and the congregation of the vicar being "the incarnation." Christmas carols were sung by the choir, Christmas morning at 5 a.m. The chapel was again packed, many persons were turned away, unable to gain admission, so great was the crowd. High choral communion was celebrated after a sermon by the vicar, taking as his text, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." (St. John 1:14). It was a great day for the mission. The chapel was decorated beautifully for the season under the direction of Ernest Foote, who takes much interest in the care of the Altar: 127 persons received the Blessed sacrament and the Christmas offering was $115. The work at the mission continues to grow. The vicar has a class of 25 persons for confirmation, and the bishop is expected at an early date.

He spoke at length on the significance of the "Yuledale," and of its origin and the manner in which it was celebrated by various nationalities. He spoke of Christmas celebrated by us as significant of the gift, by the Father, of his love for us, by the Father, of the World of mankind. The spirit of giving, when there was need, was touched upon in all of its phases. The gift of peace to the soul was emphasized as the most precious of all gifts that can be bestowed.

One of the established Harlem charities, is that of the New York Charity Bureau, Inc., Mrs. Marietta Crichlow, president Organized in 1913, it has brought cheer to hundreds of desolate homes each Christmas since that time. The distribution was made this year from the home formerly occupied by the late Mrs.° Ella Thomas, who was one of the founders of the Bureau, at 89 West ESsth street. A committee met on December 22 to prepare the Baskets, whish were distributed on Saturtgy, December 23, from 12.30 o'clock until late -in the evening., Other officers of the Bureau are James A. Banks, vice-president; Charles C. Allison, je., financial secretary; Mrs. Minnie Waller French, recording sec: retary; John D. Hadwin, treasurer. *. Of perhaps greater interest to Harlem children than any other Christmas observance was the open doors celebration of the mem- bers of Monarch Lodge of Elks, No. 45, at their home, 245 West 137th street, on Christmas Day, the committee in charge being headed by D. McDaniel as chairman, A mammoth Christmas tree was filled with presents provided by the liberal boys of "Mi-Tee” Monarch Lodge, and from December 20 to 24, members of the committee were present at the Home from 1 to 6 p. m., to distrib- lite tickets to all children who applied. Tt was a wonderful scene an Christmas Day when hundreds of children trooped their way. past the portals of Elkdom and were greeted by the Elks’ Santa Zlaus, a venerable and patrjarchal figuré, whose heart and beard, were alike of titanic proportions. : : . The Debutante Club An unusual exhibition of ‘Christmas cheer was exemplified by the Debutante Club, a group of charming young girls who live in Harlem, which on Sunday morning, Christmas Eve, went up to, the Lincoln Home for Old Folks and gave an entertaining program of music, with a short address by the chaperone, Mrs. Lucile Ran- dolph, after which gifts were distributed to inmates of the Home and refreshments were served.
