The 137th Street Branch Y. W. C. A. has just closed a most successful year. Although not the largest branch in the city, its record of service is unsurpassed by that of any other branch in the country. Because of a lack of both general and special welfare agencies in the community, it serves a dual capacity in the community—it is both a club for its members and functions as a social, religious, physical and educational center. 137th St. Y.W.C.A.

Mrs. EMMA S. RANSOM Chairman of the Committee of Management, 137th Street Branch, Y. W. C. A. for all kinds of organizations, and during the past year the assembly rooms of the branch were shared with the minister's Inter-Denominational Committee; New York Tuberculosis Association; Tuskegee Club, Anti-Lynching Crusaders, Wilberforce Club, Kappa, Gamma Kappa, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Atlanta University Club, Circle for Negro-Relief, Locai Nurses' Club, Society for instruction in First Aid to Injured, Morehouse-Spelman Club, and Gold Star Club. Cosmopolitan Membership. The membership of the Branch is 1,000 and is the most cosmopolitan of any Negro Y W C A in the country, and includes women and girls from all sections of this country, from Puerto Rico, Cuba, East India, Bermuda, Canada, Africa Central America, British and Dutch Guiana, Panama, and the West Indies. Some examples of the work the Branch is doing are contained in the annual report of the general secretary, Mrs. Cecelia Cabinas Saunders. This report shows that there was an attendance of 2,424 at the educational classes during the year; that there was a total of 10,729 who visited the gymnasium, with 3,602 people using the swimming pool. The Employment Department received 5,110 calls from employers, placed 3,498 people and interviewed 9,321. The cafeteria, one of the most popular eating places in Harlem, served 155,754 meals during the past year. The Room Registry Department has an investigated list of 761 rooms, and sent 303 people, visiting in the city, to rooms listed with this department. Although the budget for the year was not quite as large as that of the previous year, the organization did as much and as effective work as has been (Continued on Second Page) of the Branch. It is a deep source of courage to feel that one faithful woman, with a very busy life of her own, has given eighteen consecutive years of service toward the upbuilding of an institution for the mental, spiritual and physical development of girls and women. And there is no mistaking the fact that Mme. Scott, together with Mrs. Ransom and our general secretary, Mrs. Saunders, has weathered some hard days in the Young Women's Christian Association of New York City. The duty of the secretary is never easy and one that most people shun. Mrs. Minnie Pickens, however, adds to her capable service as secretary that of chairman for the Room Registry Committee. It is with deep regret that we announce the resignation of Mrs. Nettie Y. Griffin as chairman of the Membership Committee. Mrs. Griffin has done the most splendid work with this organization of about two thousand members and we are losing in her a valuable worker. She has for a long time been greatly over worked and is forced to give up the chairmanship. We wish to express our earnest appreciation to her. Every Sunday afternoon, in all kinds of weather, Mrs. Elizabeth Michael is present to preside at the respuer service. This is only one of Mrs. Michael's duties as the faithful chairman of the Religious Work Committee. Mrs. E. P. Roberts has had an efficient hand in the development of the NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923. Opposition Overwhelmed by Vote of 2,742 to 218, the Anti-Koenig Members Coming Practically From One Assembly District. Samuel S. Koenig, president of the New York Republican County Committee, was given an endorsement by the members of that body that completely overwhelmed an effort fathered by two opponents from the 7th district which had for its object the supplanting of the county president. The meeting was held at Bryant Hall on Thursday. Congressman Walter M. Chandler is a strong believer in human rights. He stands for a square deal and is entitled to the votes of all who believe in keeping in Congress one who is experienced and stands for equal rights for all. The election will be held next Tuesday, January 30, 1923. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. David B. Costuma, leader of the 19th A. D., is urging the Captains and Workers to get out every voter. Vote for Chandler before you go to your work. The roll was called by Assembly districts on the Woodward resolution Information that a fight would be made on Koenig half-brought out nearly 2,000 of the 2,960 members of the committee. When the result of the roll call was announced, showing the overwhelming majority in support of President Koenig, his supporters in all sections of the hall rose and cheered for many minutes. Of the votes opposing President Koenig one each came from the 9th, 12th and 23rd districts, 215 being cast by members from the 7th district. The colored members, representing the 13th, 15th, 19th, 21st, and 22nd districts voted solidly in support of Koenig. President Koenig gave expression to his gratification at the endorsement given his administration, and declared that he would be president of the County Committee only as long as the members wanted him and no longer. He made a plea for party harmony and hard work. The committee took definite stand against activities of the Ku Klux Klan adopting the following resolution by a unanimous vote: "Resolved. That the Republican County Committee of the County of New York condemns all attempts to forcet racial or religious animosities and to substitute mob rule for the evening, January 18, and Mr. Koenig was reelected by a vote of 2,742 to 218, and 215 of the opposition vote came from the 7th district. There are some sixty colored members of the County Committee and it was a noteworthy incident of the meeting that they were absolutely unanimous in support for Koenig. The opposition was engineered by Albert J. Berwin and former Senator Martin Saxe, Mr. Berwin offering a resolution calling that the best in the Republic of the Republic party, York call for the retirement of President Kocheni as the head of the county organization. Former Tax Commissioner Collin H. Woodward offered a substitute for the Berwin resolution, declaring that "the County Committee extend to the president a vote of its fullest confidence in his party leadership." DR. BROOKS IS BETTER The following signed bulletin has been issued by Drs. P. M. Murray of 235 West 135th street, and E. P. Roberts of 130 West 130th street, physicians in attendance, concerning the condition of the Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks M. E. Church. Dr. Brooks condition is satisfactory and he shows marked and steady improvement. The bulletin reads: "New York "January 23, 1923. "Dr. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks M. E. Church, is satisfactorily recovering from his recent illness. Although confined to bed, his condition shows, from day to day, marked and steady improvement. (Signed) "P. M. MURRAY, M. D. "E. P.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—More than three thousand Negro farmers, educators, ministers, farm and home demonstration agents, and other welfare workers heard the address delivered by Charles W. Pugsley, Assistant Secretary of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, before the thirty-second annual Tuskegee Negro Conference on Wednesday, January 17. Other features of the conference were addresses by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and Dr. J. A. Evans, of the State Relations Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The activities of the day included exhibits of agricultural products, the presentation of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Truck and a round table discussion of the methods of improving agriculture and the home. The conference went on record as adopting resolutions commending the farmers for heeding the advice of the Conference in the years gone by, urging the purchase of labor saving devices for the home and improved farm machinery, declaring the slogan of the farmers for 1923 was: "Better Farming," "Better Business," and "Better Living," deploring lynching and all forms of mob violence, expressing appreciation to those southern newspapers that had fiercely stood for absolute justice for all people and pointing out the continued growth in understanding and good will which is being accomplished through the Southern Commission on Race Relations.

Further activity in the matter of investigation into the death of Herbert Dent, the young Negro boy who died following a severe beating administered to him by police officers in the station house of the 38th Precinct, located on West 135th street, on the morning of June 27, 1922, has again been put up to District Attorney Joab H. Banton by Counsellor Herman Hoffman of 233 Broadway, who has devoted much of his time and effort to securing action against those alleged to be responsible for the death of Dent. On December 18, 1922, Mr. Banton wrote a letter to counselor Hoffman in which he cited the report of Dr. Charles Norris, Chief Medical Examiner of the Police Department, which report expressed the opinion that Dent's death was due entirely to acute alcoholism. Counselor Hoffman had previously found an alleged greediness of the beating of Dent, and this witness declared that police officers had attempted to force whiskey down Dent's throat after the boy had succumbed to the beating received. Under date of January 17, 1923, Mr. Hoffman replied to Banton's letter of December 18, giving as a reason for the delay his desire to confer personally No Conference 3,000 Workers 000, Equipped With Motion the Work of Movable School, ama Negro Farmers.

In the light of this attitude of Dr. Norris, Mr. Hoffman requests Mr. Banton to submit the matter to the Grand Jury or else permit Mr. Hoffman to (Continued on Fifth Page) from every state from Virginia to Texas. The delegates took an active part in the round table discussions. Enclosed in a large text were exhibits of every type of agricultural and horticultural product of the South, with the exception of cotton. Exhibits of canned vegetables and fruits, of handicraft and home-cured meat were also in evidence. In addition to those things displaying the possibilities of this section there were exhibits also to teach methods of improving farming, home-life and conditions in the rural districts. Among these were teaching soil and fertilizer analysis; how, when and what, to feed a cow to increase her production of milk; correct methods of dairying and who mates are made more attractive by paint and beautiful surroundings.

One of the men arrested for the crime is William Shakespeare and the other Constantine F. Dyer, both said to be painters. The assassination has not helped the Garvey movement in this city. It has, instead, hurt it very much among the people of the race and in the eyes of the law. It has created the belief that the Garvey movement is very much of the character of the Ku Klux Klan movement which just at this time is in very bad grace.

Naturally the same power is in the frame of mind now to more an organization which in the land PAGE TWO R reminds it of Ku Klux Klan methods. There will be no limit to the bounds that the power of the State will go after organizations of the character of the Ku Klux Klan. As the assassination of Dr. Eason has all the merits of methods of the Klan and the crime is charged to members of the U. N. I. A. branch of New Orleans, the presumption is great that the U. N. I. A. is an organization of the same kind. So much so is this the presumption here that the Ministerial Alliance, composed of colored Protestant ministers of the city in a meeting called mainly for the purpose in the Progressive Baptist Church Wednesday night, January 12, after strong demission of the assassination by several ministers present, passed resolutions praising the virtues of Dr. Eason and denouncing in emphatic terms the men guilty of the cowardly crime, praying for the full punishment of the criminals, and pledging to aid the authorities in bringing the gritty to the tear of justice. The Garvey men held in jail for the crime, whether they are guilty or not, are having but little if any sympathy shown them on account of the fact that the Key, Mr. Eason was murdered as soon as he came out of a church where he had been storing Garvey's methods and because the police reported that one of the men arrested said at the time of the arrest that "Eason got what was coming to him". Some of the leading men of the Garvey organization in New York are said to have reached New Orleans since the assassination. One of these visiting Garveyites is classed by members of the branch here who have had their faith greatly weakened in the worth of the Garvey movement since the cowardly murder of Dr. Eason, and who know the visitor, say "he is no good", although holding a big place in the general organization. The way these informalists of your correspondent speak of this New Yorker leaves the writer under the impression that he is in New Orleans to finance the defense of the men under arrest for the crime and to assist in showing that the U. N. I. A. is not responsible for the murder of Dr. J. W. H. Eawan. The branch of the U. N. I. A. in New Orleans has been taken out of the hands of the laboring men who officered it and filled its ranks from the beginning up to late in October last year, and placed in the hands of college men. These college men are said to be professors in the Baptist Institute and New Orleans College of this city and to be nice people. This was done, it is said, to give the organization here standing and respectability. Yet some of the leading Baptist ministers of the city not only have no faith in the Garvey schemes but openly speak against Garvey and his movement in the strongest terms. Thursday night the police prevented the branch U. N. L. A from holding meeting and took the names of all the officers. The police have stopped previous meetings of the branch here, but this is the first time that a demand was made for the names of the officers. This more of the police is taken as an indication that the officers of the New Orleans Division of the U. N. L. A. will be questioned as to the purpose of the organization having a police force and a fire department of its own, things so unusual of societies in these parts. It is known here that the college men who last October, were placed at the head of the division are only nominal heads who have had nothing much to do with it. Indeed, it is declared that they have attended none of the meetings of the organization except the ones at which they were installed. Still, they will in all probability be called before the probes of the Eason assassination to be questioned about it. They were made head, it is said, because they had the literary qualification required of heads under the U. N. I. A. The ones disqualified by these college men, it was said, did not have the required (?) education. Friends of the men removed from the head of the organization say it was a blessing that they were removed, since Fate had in store for the organization the trouble that has developed in the Eason assassination. Much feeling is developing against the Garvey movement, it is said, among the working classes on account of the shutting of the door of hope to all but college men for leadership and the filling of high offices in the U. N. I. A. "Why, it looks," said a laboring man, "as if government in the Garvey movement is not to be of the people, by the people, for the people, but to be a government of the people by the classes for the classes. See what they have done to men we elected to office in the organization—just put them aside and put college men over us." TUSKEGEE NECRO CONFERENCE ATTENDED BY 3,000 WORKERS demonstration it was evident that a greater interest was manifested in that of inoculating hogs against chdera, and that of an anti-boll weevil machine which was being demonstrated by the American Boll Weevil Spraying Machine Company. Memorial Truck Presented. The feature of the activities of the morning was he presentation of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Truck (a White truck costing $5,000) equipped with a complete motion picture outfit. This is the gift of Negro farmers of Alabama to the Government Extension Department at the Institute, to promote the work of the "Movable School." Upon the plot where the truck stood was a "picture of the evolution of the movable school," beginning years ago in a large wagon, made at Tuskegee Institute, next advancing to a Ford truck donated by Seaman A. Knapp, and now to be carried on through the service of a large, modern, well-equipped White truck. Each vehicle was displayed—the now illadapted wagon, preserved for the service which it rendered in the early years; the Ford truck, which has served its purpose well, and the new truck in which tests the hope of the Negro farmers of Alabama. Df. Motion Speaks. The farmers and visitors were cordially welcomed to the institute by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, Dr. Moton referred to the wisdom of Dr. Booker T. Washington in establishing the conference as demonstrated by the increasing numbers who attended the conference each year; pointed out the accommodation. THE LIFE OF MARY JACKSON Miss Leolia Nelson, Physical Director, 137th St. Y. W. C. A. --- Miss Leolia Nelson, Physical 137TH STREET Y. W. CLOSE (Continued from First Page) done by any similar organization in the city. The income of the Branch for the year was $71,572.04, and the expenditures were $94,739.90. The Metropolitan Board gave the Branch $76,736 during the year, special contributions amounted to $214,05 and the deficit of $13.95 was made up from the balance on hand from the year previous. Several of the wealthiest members of the in Harlem have shown their interest in the organization is doing by giving their financial support. An excellent example of this kind has been set by Watt Terry, who contributes $200 annually for its support. Special Problems Handled In addition to the regular work of the Branch enumerated above, many special cases and problems are handled here. These problems spring from the wanderlust which seizes the young girlhood of the country. The Branch is called upon to give its experience in caring for girls who become tired of restrained home, tired of the monitor of a child and who want to see things—to touch the world of which she has heard—to come to New York. Sometimes her first experience in New York is overwhelmer, she is glad to be towed to the Y W. C. A. building. At times, it is a sympathetic galload man, himself a father or brother, who brings her to the "Y" or maybe a policeman or social worker. Such girls are cared for and returned to their homes or given work. Many times anxious parents come for advice about their children, or for assistance in the untagging of markal relationship—"I was going to a lawyer, but somebody told me to come to you; it would be cheaper," is the explanation they give. Mrs. Saunders, the executive secretary, has won the confidence of the entire community by the work the Branch is doing. She has associated with her in the management of the Branch the following Executive Committee: Mrs. Emma S. Ransom chairman, Mrs. Elizabeth Michael first chairman; Mrs. F. P. Roberts second chairman; Mrs. V. F. S. Smither, third chairman; Mr. William Pickens, correspondent. plishments of the conference urged the farmers to continue to diversify their crops; to raise food and tredstuff; pointed out the interest which the federal government is showing in the problem of the farmer, and emphasized the absolute need of understanding and cooperation between white and black farmers, declaring that "the soil under cultivation has no color line; the prince draw no color line, and the markets draw no color line. Products grown by a black farmer." Among other things, he said: "It was thirty-two years ago that our friend, Dr. Washington, called together a few Negro farmers and invited them a few white people who were interested in agriculture and in the development of the South. Here they met for what one old farmer happily termed their one day's schooling a year." "And ever since that time there has been on these grounds an increasingly large group of Negro farmers, their wives and hundreds of interested friends, white and black, of other vocations and walks of life. Here they have come annually to take part in the freest and frankest discussions of the problems that Negro farmers face, these conferences, too, have ever been characterized by honesty of speech and purpose and an absence of oratory as such, which has been especially gratifying, and, of course, very helpful. Marvelous Progress "The changes that have taken place during these thirty-two years the increase in land ownership; the hanshainment of the one-room cabin and all that such signifies; the increase in winter as well as summer gardens; the increase in poutry, pigs and all livestock, of trees and flowers; above all, the tremendously increased interest in the home life of tenants by landlords, white and black—seem nothing less than miraculous as when we consider what conditions were when Dr. Washington called together the first Negro conference in 1891. The general improvement in every aspect of the living conditions of the average Negro farmer is well-night marvellous. "I am not accrediting all this improvement to the Tuskegee conference, but I do know this: No single agency has had more influence in making this state of things possible as the farmers' conference of Tuskegee institute and the unique personality that has brought better into being. "Friends, there is no more important group of people in all the world than those of us who are engaged in the honorable profession of tilting the soil of making the tour; three, four blades of grass multiply, of making the stalks of corn grow, of raising pigs and chickens and of increasing our access of land and our bank accounts and, best of all, build up good clean, wholesome Christian homes an deforming pure, honest lives, and doing a great deal more of genuine service toward our fellowman and of goodwill toward all men, where there had been but little before.

Assisting Mrs. Saunders are: Louise Lawrence, office secretary; Miss Hattie Green, membership secretary; with Mrs Mallette White Williams as assistant; Miss S. M. Athabasca as assistant; Miss M.

"There is no larger opportunity every thing being equal in America than is given the Negro here in the South, in spite of many things that are amusing frightening, and even dohartening at times. Then, therefore, there is no group that is more welcome at Tuskegee than you farmers, and those with you, and all those who are interested in farming and the farm. It is a great pleasure and privilege to me to welcome you cordially and heartily to Tuskegee Institute." Farmers from various sections of the South were called upon by Dr. Moton, who presided to relate how they were solving various problems. Some told how they were solving the marketing problems, through cooperative marketing organizations; others told how they were fighting the bill weevil by raising products which they needed and still others told how they were meeting conditions by raising livestock for the mar- Weevil Can Be Conquored. Charles W. Pugley, assistant secretary of agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, made a roosing, challenging address to the eager assemblage of farmers and those interested in farming at the afternoon session of the farmer's conference. "The problem of the people in the South is here as elsewhere an economic problem. Application, reasoning and saving furnish the solution! Persons who do that are sure to get ahead. "The boll wreill is the evil of the cotton crop of the Southland. To conquer it, therefore either fight it successfully or do something else. Don't yield to its ravages. Don't sit down and say you can't make enough to live. Raise something other than cotton. Raise what you need and what others need. That's the way we fight the corn borer in the corn belt and that's the way the grasshopper is fought." Dr. Pugley gripped the attention of his audience by his forceful and sincerely strong admissions and words of encouragement. When the farmer has learned the value of diversification, Dr. Pugley urged him to consider the consumer, the purchaser of his products. "You must put your products in shape fit to well. Be honest in your grading test. The farmer who puts the small apples at the bottom of the basket and the large ones on top is soon found out. Then he begins to wonder why no one buys from him. He soon fails. During the war all the people had money with which to buy things that they needed." "Dr. Pugley pointed out in further stressing his idea that if you don't have money to do that now don't allow your vitality to be lowered or your standard of living, plan to grow those things that you need." Profiting and Saving. "The problems that confront the farmers of the United States are largely economic ones—getting something for their products and having something left after they have paid for the things then." Fine New Building Saved For New Orleans Children New School Board Head Wanted Building Erected For Negro Pupils Turned Over To White Girls' School, But Board Refused Approval. (By V. P. THOMAS) New Orleans, La. - Sometimes hack the readers, of The. Age were told of the change made in the personnel of the New Orleans public school board and of the fear felt that the change under no good for the colored schools under the new organization. Friday night, January 12; the school board had a meeting. At this meeting the new president, Mr. Fortier, formerly a principal of one of the white public schools of the city, and a resident of the sixth ward, led a big and glamorous white delegation from his ward in an oratory salute away from the colored people the Bayou road street new school building built by the old board for a colored school and named for the memory of a colored man, the late James A. Craig, said to be recognized as a faithful servitor of the Confederacy. The effort failed by a decisive vote and the building has been retained for the race, providing the new presidents cannot make arrangements for the care of the $00 or more colored children now without any place to go to school. The building is the largest, most substantial and finest in every way ever built for a colored public school in this city, being of brick, steel and stone, with 22 rooms, all modern fixtures, costing, completed, something like $200,000, and occupying a half square of ground. There are a number of the same kind of school buildings for the white public schools. Indeed, there are not a few costing much more than the new Craig school. The new colored school building if on the same spot occupied by the old Bayou Road School, called so after the name of the street. The effort to take this school building from the cohored people failed, but not until after the new president of the board had called another member so the chair in order that he could take the floor and state his position on Negro education: The Times-Picayune reports Mr. Fortier as follows: "Mr. Fortier attacked the policy of the old board and that of Superintendent Gwynn on the question of Negro education. He said it was his belief that the Negro should be taught reading and writing and beyond that given an industrial education. Mr. Fortier said the new school building might be used as an annex to the Explanade Avenue Girls' High School similar to the Nicholls School." And it reported another member, Percy Moise, as replying to the president as follows: "Mr. Moise took issue with the president and asserted that the old board should not be blamed for the location of the Negro school at this place, so it had been there forty years. He said the school was built in a serious effort for the old board to do something for Negro education in New Orleans. "Time in which to work out some plan was asked by Mr. Fortier, but the board by a vote of four to one decided to go ahead with the present plans to use the school as a Negro institution, on a motion by Mr. Moise. If some acceptable plan is provided they have bought", declared Dr. Pugsley. "Anything that reduces the cost of production is saved." Dr. Pugsley declared. "Every member of the family should help in the production of crops" he added, "which reduces the cost of production. Paying attention to the marketing problem would eliminate much expenditure of money and time. The farmer's interest in his product should not cease as soon as he has disposed of it to a purchaser. His interest should extend to the consumer's table, the consumer's taste, and the consumer's satisfaction. "Farmers' selling cooperatively and marketing cooperatively are succeeding in saving beyond their expenditures. One cooperative organization, selling wheat, got 12 cents more per bushel for wheat and found that the profit was over and above the cost of production and usual return for individual marketing. "The market problem itself is complicated." Dr. Pugley asserts, "and lends itself to abuse. Many failures are due to bad management and the farmer is a little skeptical anyway, but, if you get the proper management and advice, cooperation will be the solution of the problem." Dr. J. A. Evans of the states relation service, United States Department or Agriculture, spoke on "Cotton Production Under Boll Wearwell Conditions." He stated that there were two distinct methods of fighting the boll weevil through a dusting process and the other was to cultivate the cotton intensively for thirty days at the time of squaring so as to prevent the punctured squares from hatching the weevil. He declared that farmers would do well not to increase their cotton acreage in spite or the present high price of cotton. Workers' Conference. The second day of the Conference is known as Workers' Conference and is devoted to discussions of problems affecting educational conditions in the rural districts. The discussions this year centered around cooperation of welfare agencies operating in the rural districts. There was expressed the belief that with the teachers, ministers, Jeanes' Fund Supervisors, farm and home demonstration agents cooperating in the effort to improve educational and general conditions in the rural districts that much could be accomplished in this direction. The conference was brought to a close by a concert given by the Institute quartet, under the leadership of A. J. Neeley, and the Institute Band, under the directionality of Frank L.

LOUIS, MO. Poro Corner by Mr. Foster in the meantime to take care of the 800 Negro pupils that are awaiting the opening of the school, the change may be made, it was agreed." Your correspondent has visited some of the colored public schools, among them the Darnell Public School, S. J. Green, principal, and J. L. Ketter, vice-principal. This is a school of 840 pupils, with fourteen teachers, including the principal, housed in a good modern building, well lighted and ventilated, with a floor furniture, part of which has been converted into class rooms, and in a nearby church building used as an annex. The main building is equipped with the usual apparitions of a school and with an office for the principal. It is in an ideal spot for fresh air and for freedom from noise of city traffic, and there is ample playground for onet door exercises for the children. Prof. Green, the principal, has a very good staff of teachers working under his supervision and he is proud of every member of it, and he specializes of the cooperative spirit existing at his school and of the interest patrons and parents have shown in the work at Dannel. This is his second year there and he feels that the work being done by the school is well appreciated. He took pride in mentioning the 500 or more pounds of groceries that the children brought from their homes to be given the neatly poised on Thanksgiving Day as an offering from the Dannel School. The work of the school is well organized and the unites are all in efficient hands bending to do great team work all for Dameel and Dameel for all. The teachers are J. L. Keller, grade 8 G. A. Parker, grade 7; M. J. Willis, grade 6; M.iss C. B. Oberman, grade 5B; M.iss Rosa McCaleb, grade 5A; Miss C. O. Walker, grade 4A; Miss R. Thompson, grade 4B; Miss C. O. Dongman, grade 3; Miss E. O. Brown, grade 2B; Miss E. Davis, grade 2A; Miss L. J. Norton, grade 1A, and Miss R. L. Hutton, grade 1B. In this school, as in every other colored school in the system visited, so many pupils are enrolled and attending that half of them have to go in the foremoon and the other half in the afternoon for their class work, requiring the teachers to work eight hours each day. This is an unusual hardship on the teachers and it will not be long before these long hours will be telling in the havoc played with the health of these teachers. The teachers are working longer hours and the pupils are having only part of the usual time in school under this arrangement. But both are making the best of a situation over which they have no control. Their friends are nevertheless preparing to take steps seeking to better things for them. The prospect of success seems dim, for there is even strong talk, of cutting salaries between 12 and 15 per cent, in order to keep the force working the full nine months. All regular substitutes have already been dropped from the pay rolls in an endeavor to hold the ends together, according to reports. Later readers of The Age will be accounts of other colored schools visited.

Baggett of the 12th district has introduced a bill making it a felony for a person to appear off his own premises disguised so as to destroy or hide his identity. Senator Baggett says, however, that he has received many letters commending the fight he is making, "and numbers of people are giving me their support," he declared. One Ku Klux Klan, Mack Moore, a Harnett county farmer, was given a twelve months' sentence by Judge Lloyd Horton, the court being held at Lillington. Moore, in this Ku Klux regalia, was charged with going to the home of J. I. Faircloth on the night of December 5, about 10.30 o'clock, telling Faircloth that because he, Faircloth, had been interfering with blockaders, six fifteen others had come with Moore to take Faircloth out with them. Faircloth covered the intruder with a pistol and tore the mask from his face. Another masked man came to Moore's rescue, but Faircloth held them both at bay, finally driving them off.

If you are as kind to the Plough Chemical Company as old 1922 everyone will be happy." This was the sentiment of the fifty-two salesmen attending the fifth annual Salesmans' Convention of the Plough Chemical Company of Memphis, Tenn. For 1922 was in many respects the greatest year these men have ever enjoyed. It was a great year for business for the Plough Chemical Company. Sales were nearly double of those of 1922 and despite the gentle feelings of pessimism that grew in impulses at the beginning of the year. And the same men who went out in the face of these unfavorable conditions determined through zeal, enthusiasm and hard work, backed up by a line of well advertised goods that they knew were the best ever made the sales of 1922 doubled those of 1921 argoing out this year determined to double those of 1922 in 1923.

The Republican party, through the in-hipitude of its present day leaders, seems to have entered upon a wholesale policy of surrender. With the implied approval of the administration, we have seen the spectacle of the surrender to "Lilywhite" sentiment in several Southern States of the regular party organization, with the result of dissatisfaction and division among the voters, the bulk of whom are Negroes. No substantial gain has been recorded from this policy in the South, it having contributed to the loss of the sole Republican representative in Congress from Virginia. The surrender of the Republican majority in the Senate to a Democratic minority in the matter of anti-lynching legislation is another instance of mischievous policy, fresh in the minds of our readers. The net results of this surrender have been to alienate and disgust the great number of Negro voters throughout the country, who are rapidly losing their veneration and respect for the party that once boasted such upstanding contenders for the right as Hanna and Roosevelt and others of their stripe. Now it is said that due to the result of the last State election the Republican leaders are prepared to surrender New York to the Democrats in the next national election and to lose their hope of retaining the Presidency on carrying the Western territory. In pursuance of this suicidal policy we are told that the political patronage of New York, which has been left largely in the hands of the Democrats left over from the Wilson administration, is to be handed over to the West. That is hen the Democratic holdovers not covered by the civil service are finally seperated from the service, their places will be filled by deserving Republicans from Illinois and other parts of the West. How this policy of surrender will be relished by the Republican party workers of New York State, who have given their efforts to the rolling up of Republican majorities in the past, remains to be seen. The results of a State policy carried out under Governor Miller along somewhat, similar lines, especially so far as the ignoring of the Negro voters was concerned, were strikingly illustrated in the last campaign. Disaffection was rife among these voters and the result was an overwhelming Democratic victory. The voters of New York have but little reason to rejoice over the result of placing a Republican administration in power. In fact the only measure of satisfaction that they have been able to extract from the situation was that they experienced a change from the blight of Wiltomism and some of its attendant evils. But the lesser figures of the previous administration have been suffered to remain in office to the offence of those who voted for a change. The danger threatening the Republican party is that the policy of surrender has become a blight upon its prospects for the future. No party can base an aggressive campaign for victory at the polls on a policy characterized by surrender to expediency. What is needed in the Republican party is the infusion of courage and the aggressive spirit that fights for principles. Unless the Republican leaders can regain this spirit, their cause is hopeless. Let the party abandon the surrender to expediency and reactionary methods that gets it nowhere. If the present leaders cannot develop the backbone and courage needed to meet the emergency, their places should be filled by new men who possess these needed qualities. In our issue of last week appeared a denunciation from an esteemed correspondent of TAX Act, in which he express somewhat caustic criticism of the methods pursued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its campaign advocating the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. So far as these animadversions reflected upon the judgment and discretion exercised by Secretary James Weldon Johnson in working for the measure, we think that these criticisms were unwarranted. mrs. johnson's efforts to secure a full and mutual support of the bill by the Republican Senators were serious and unwarranging. The insinuation that he did not matter up to the requirements of the task was not in any way warranted. by all guards that he gained over many objections raised by ministers supported of the bill. The impression that he "wanted to play a joke hand in order to get the glory, and also the digneness medal," is a gratuitous assumption, unwarranted by the facts. Mr. Jefferson sought and welcomed assistance from any quarter that promised to facilitate the passage of the bill, or to remove the obstacles raised by its opponents. All in all, the campaign carried on by the Association in its fight against lynching was characterised by a forceful intelligence and well directed effort that made the whole country sit up and take notice. If the organization had done nothing more than to concentrate the attention of the nation upon the question of mob law and lynching, as it did in this campaign, it has justified its existence and, ably performed a national duty. The time will come when the people of the United States, and their lawmakers as well, will realise that the question of mob law and lynching is not a problem that solely concerns the Negro. The three riots of Herrin and Bel Mer and the last Arkansas lynching were not racial in their conception. The fight against mob violence and lynching has just begun in earnest. It is the fight of American civilization against lawlessness and anarchy. If it is not waged and won by all the representatives of law and order, the decadence of republican institutions is at hand. The fight against lynching must be carried on to a finish regardless of persons or personalities. The cause is greater than any person or any one race. It is the existence of civilization that is at stake. TO INVESTIGATE LYNCHING. The introduction of a joint resolution into the Congress of the United States for the purpose of establishing a commission to investigate lynching may be taken as an indication that the fight against this national menace has just begun. Hitherto THE Ace has been inclined to regard the proposition to appoint a commission on this subject as a legislative effort to defer action in the matter, but the recent failure of anti-lynching legislation in the Senate has shown that the right is bound to be a long and bitter one that will require the employment of all the resources of public sentiment and legislative tactics. This joint resolution was introduced by Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, an earnest and determined advocate of anti-lynching legislation, whose motives are beyond question. Although he failed of re-election last Fall in the Democratic tidal wave that swept over New York and New Jersey, he is bound to remain as a force in Republican politics. His purpose is in providing for this commission is "of advising and providing information for Congress in matters of legislation which will prevent lynching and insure to all persons the equal protection of the laws." It would seem that no intelligent legislator, anxious for the welfare of the nation and sworn to uphold the constitution and government by law, could oppose such an inquiry for such a purpose. Nevertheless, it was announced that the Democratic Senators from the South would fight this joint resolution with the same rancor that they showed against the Dyer bill. It remains to be seen whether the Republican majority will stand behind Senator Prelinghuysen in this effort to show cause why antilynching legislation is needed. While this proposition to advise the Congress as to the necessity and propriety of such a measure as the Dyer bill may seem wholly uncalled for by those who have followed the anti-lynching campaign, it may be that it will prove the most effective means of reaching the heart of the evil. A searching inquiry under government auspices into the subject of lynchings in the United States, including the number and the causes thereof, and the inadequacy of the methods now used to prevent them, would present an effective argument with the public and with Congress, for the devising and adoption of preventive legislation. The brutal facts brought to light by such a commission would put the Mer Rouge investigation into the background. Not even the Southern representatives in Congress could defend the recital of murder and torture that would be read into the record. Let the commission to investigate lynching be authorized at once. The editor of the American Baptist, published in Louisville, Ky., draws a line in the matter of social recreation to be permitted under churchly auspices. It recently said: In our opinion the social phases of church work should be cultivated and encouraged, but there must be a proper regard for the character of the recreation used in such gatherings. This suggestion grows out of the fact that an officer of a Baptist church recently visited a church with a "smoker" which is ported as being an enjoyable affair. It may have been enjoyable but we doubt the propriety of such a gathering and more especially if it was held in a church building. Churches do not encourage smoking, chewing and drinking by members of a church and this kind of recreation is to say the least of doubtful propriety. This formulated a new subject for debate before the ministerial unions, as to whether "agreements" are to be allowed go out. But how about those ministerial bodies who are addicted to the habit of bullying? Must they forage the single or no eager, when composing their own? THE CASE OF DR. GRANT. The utterances of Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, rector of the Church of the Ascension, Fifth Avenue; are attracting nation-wide attention. This is quite natural. Dr. Grant is one of the most outstanding figures in the Episcopal Church. What he says has generally commanded publicity because of the daring character of the views which he expresses. Now that his utterances are in criticism of some of the fundamental beliefs of the church with which he is connected, his words will be flashed to every English speaking country in the world. The controversy between Dr. Grant and the authorities of the Episcopal Church began about three years ago when he was sternly rebuked by Bishop Burch, then Bishop of New York, for permitting the Church of the Ascension to be used as a public forum on Sunday night where liberal and radicals were allowed freely to express their opinions. Bishop Burch in his rebuke forbade the continuation of these discussions on the ground that the church was "consecrated to the worship of Almighty God." The controversy in its present stage is between Dr. Grant and Bishop Manning, now Bishop of New York. Two weeks ago Dr. Grant prescheduled a sermon in which he declared that the consecration of church houses is an inheritance from witchcraft, magic and taboo. Speaking upon this point, Dr. Grant said: "Unfortunately, the idea of consecration has come up from ancient ideas associated with taboo—things among the lower races that priests said could not be done and which were associated in the mind of the worshipper with the magic and powers supposed to reside in the priests. This idea of a magic power has been perpetuated in the consecration of churches, so that consecration, strictly interpreted, has meant that something has happened to the churches that cannot be explained under ordinary formulas of intelligence or action. Dr. Grant further denied that Jesus had the power of God. He expressed the view that many of the miracles accredited to Jesus would fall under well known categories clearly and well classified by psychologists today. He said, "Science understands them. They are not miracles." This sermon promptly brought from Bishop Manning a letter calling upon Dr. Grant either to recant or resign. Bishop Manning's letter is a clear and forceful piece of writing. He does not question the right of Dr. Grant to his beliefs or disbeliefs, but questions his right to express them as a representative of the Episcopal Church. He charges Dr. Grant with having lost his belief in the Saviour Himself as He is presented in the four gospels and the Apostles' Creed. On this point the Bishop goes on to say: "You will say that this church allows great liberty of interpretation as to the meaning of the articles of the Creed. This is quite true, and I rejoice in the great liberty of thought which this church allows and desire to uphold it to the utmost limit that is lawful and right. But interpretation of a fact or a truth is one thing and denial of it is another. "Interpretation means reasonable explanation of a fact on the basis of its acceptance as true. To call that interpretation which is in fact denial, is a misuse of language. There is a great liberty of thought and expression in the Episcopal Church, but this does not give her ministers the right to deny the essential faith for which the church stands." The question as to whether a minister should be allowed to teach what he conscientiously believes and comes to believe, or whether he must always teach only what the creed of his church sets forth, is a question upon which persons will differ. Nevertheless, it is a clear-cut issue. Most likely the majority of people will feel that Bishop Manning is right, that if Dr. Grant wishes to express or teach beliefs which are in any degree contrary to the fundamental beliefs of the Episcopal Church, his place is outside and not inside that denomination. This opinion will be strengthened in the minds of many by the facts that Dr. Grant's salary is paid to him as a priest of the Episcopal Church. However, there is one very weak point in Bishop Manning's letter, and that is when he calls upon Dr. Grant to take back his words if he wishes to remain in the church. If Dr. Grant by mere lip service should take back the words which he has uttered as his earnest and sincere beliefs, would he be a fit man to continue as a minister in the church? It appears to us that such an act would render him more unfit than a continuance of his so-called heretical beliefs. This whole question of the freedom of ideas and the expression of them in the church is of vital significance. Indeed, the very future of the church hangs upon it, Bishop Manning's contention to the contrary notwithstanding. The church will soon have to face the question as to whether it is more dangerous to her future and power to have men in her pulpits speak what they honestly have come to see as the truth or men in her pulpits who are either willing to dissemble the truth as they see it or are too narrow-minded and blind to recognize it. SOME CONSTITUTIONAL EXPERTS. The writer attended a committee conference a few days ago and a white woman who is an active worker in behalf of the Negro, and who was present, related to him the following incident. She said: "I met with a group of young colored people a few days ago and I was surprised to hear them say regarding the abandonment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, that they were not interested in the measure; that the Constitution had sufficient provisions in it for the protection of the Negro in all of his rights, and that there was no need any legislation on the subject." She asked me on what grounds did I consider that they took such a position. I answered that they took it on the ground of sheer ignorance. Of course, the Constitution has all the provisions necessary for the protection of the Negro in all of its rights, but the Constitution does not enforce itself. Many provisions in the Constitution depend upon special legislation for their enforcement. The beat proof of this as regards this particular subject is that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, which contain the provisions incorporated in the Constitution for the special protection of the Negro are each of them, respectively, concluded by the following sections: "Congress should have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." "The Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." The legislation contemplated in the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is designed to enforce that clause of the Fourteenth Amendment which says that no state shall "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the lawn." In spite of Dr. Party Baltham Grant's doubt, it appears that the age of miracles is not yet over. Thomas Dixon, the author of "The Clansman" and of "The Birth of a Nation," before a large audience at the Century Theatre Monday night denounced the Ku Klux Klan as "the most dangerous movement in American history." Mr. Dixon not only denounced the Klan but assumed the role of Defender of the Negro. He condemned in the strongest language possible the anti-Negro activities of the Klan and declared himself "ready to stand beside the humblest Negro and defend him from such assaults with my rides in hand." What has happened to Mr. Dixon who more than any single individual in the country made the re-birth of the Ku Klux Klan possible and stimulated snow prejudice against the Negro. Has he like Saul of Tarsue, while going upon his mission of persecution, seen a light and heard a voice; or does he now think that a moving picture against the Klan would be as profitable as was "The Birth of a Nation? However, we will not question Mr. Dixon's motives. Our only comment is that he will need to be very diligent in the right order to overbalance the evil he has done. And we must also add that we do not think the sort of defense offered by Mr. Dixon is the most effective that he can render. If Mr. Dixon, as a Southern white man, will take his pen in hand and write in justice and fairness about the Negro, we feel that he will be able to accomplish a great deal more than he could with any amount of artillery, let alone his single rifle. PESSIMISM OR PROPHECY. Frederick Harrison, the em- torian, died this month at the days before his death he wrote to "Every board in civilization, industry, government, peace and flood of Democratic vulgarity.

We do not believe that too much democracy but to too Frederick Harrison, the eminent English philosopher and historian, died this moth at the great age of ninety-two. A few days before his death he wrote a letter to a friend in which he said: "Every board in civilization is cracking. Literature, drama, art, industry, government, peace and order are all being swept over by a flood of Democratic vulgarity. All public problems seem fated by ruin. "There will be no real settlement of the reparations and of Europe at Paris to-day—or any time. We cannot—and we need not—stop the Turks. "The British Empire is molting away just like the Roman in A. D. 300, and for the same causes. Let us be reassured that you and I cannot help it at all." The opinions of a man like Frederick Harrison cannot be dismissed lightly; but in considering this glorious forecast of his we must question whether it is pessimism or prophecy. It is reasonable to look for either in a man with the mind of a genius who has passed the age of ninety with his mental powers unimpaired. From all visible indications it appears that Frederick Harrison was speaking words of prophecy; that civilization as it now operates is going to smash. But that, perhaps, is not the worst thing which could happen to it. The civilization which we have is built mainly upon pride backed up by force, and its maintenance depends upon the increase of force. The most gloomy thought in Mr. Harrison's forecast is that democracy itself is a failure. To that thought we cannot subscribe. We do not believe that the evils of the age are due to too much democracy but to too little of it actually practiced. AN ACTIVE CAREER ENDED. The reported death of ex-Judge McCants Stewart, formerly of the Susquehanna Court of Liberty, but more popularly practicing law, in the recently acquired insular possessions of the Virgin Islands, recalls his unique personality and his remarkable career. Possessed of a brilliant mind, determined will and striking cratorical powers, Mr. Stewart set a high mark both in the ministry of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and in the practice of law, but his love of the letter profession predominated and the greater part of his career was spent in its service. Graduated from the University of South Carolina during Reconstruction times, he started his legal career as a member of the firm of Elliott, Straker and Stewart, at Columbia, S. C. In his early days in New York City, he passed the latter part of his ministerial career as pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, then located on Sullivan street. His leaving the ministry soon was followed by his admission to the New York bar, upon introduction of Algernon S. Sullivan. His reputation as a lawyer of ability was soon established and he took an active part in all public matters of the community. In Brooklyn, in those days we separate municipality, he established the Brooklyn Literary Union as a forum for the discussion of public questions, which brought to its platform eminent speakers of both races. He espoused the cause of Democracy it politics and attained conspicuous distinction as the outstanding representative of the race in that party. He served for several years as a member of the Brooklyn Board of Education, and rendered valuable service in bringing about the wiping out of the color line in the public schools. He had reached a position and acquired an influence in Democratic councils hitherto unknown for a man of his race, but he sacrificed all that he had gained in this respect by renouncing his Democratic affiliations and returning to the Republican ranks. The next sensational event in his career was his departure, with his family, for the Hawaiian Islands, where he embarked in the practice of law at Honolulu and spent several years in active and aggressive public work. His next move was to the Republic of Liberia on the West Coast of Africa. Here he spent several years, part of the time on the bench of the Supreme Court and in the service of his newly adopted country in negotiations with the European powers. During this period he compiled the Customs code and revised the statutes of the Republic. The next year or so was spent in London by Mr. Stewart and his family until he came again under the shadow of the American flag on the Island of St. Thomas. Only a few weeks he revisited the scenes of his early activities in Brooklyn and Manhattan, where he was warily greeted by those who had worked with him in the past. An active, altruistic force in wherever community he desired to make the adding place, Mr. reminent English philosopher and his the great age of ninety-two. A fe- mion is cracking.

A NEWSPAPER FIONZER. : The Act has received an inquiry from a professor of history in a Kentucky institution for the following facts in the life of David Ruggles, one of the first Negro journalists in America: The place of his birth, the date of his Birth (day of the month and year), whether or not he was free-born or slave-born, where he received what little education he had and the exact date (day of the month and year) of his death. While not successful in digging up all of the facts requested, enough was gleaned concerning the journalistic career of David Ruggles to justify a recital of the facts at this time and place. In "The Afro-American Press and Its Editors," by I. Garland Penn, appears a reference to the Genius of Freedom issued in New York City some time between 1845 and 1847 with David Ruggles as editor and publisher. Mr. Ruggles was described as "a highly educated gentleman, refined in manners." He was one of the first promoters of the Underground Railroad, established to assist fugitive slaves from the South on their way to freedom in Canada. He earned the reputation of being the most logical writer of his time, at the same time being quick and ready. William Welles Brown, in his "Rising Sun," was quoted as saying of Mr. Ruggles' reply to Dr. Reese, a colonizationist who advocated the expatriation of the Negro: "In his argument the Afro-American proved too much for the Anglo-Saxon, and exhibited in Mr. Ruggles those qualities of keen perception, deep thought and originality that mark the critic and the man of letters." Frederick Douglass characterized him as "not only an intelligent man, but one of the bravest and boldest spirits of the times." John J. Zuille said that "he was respected as an editor and in the courts of New York for his intimate knowledge of law in slave cases." Previous to starting in the newspaper field, Mr. Ruggles had been the owner and editor of the *Mirror of Liberty*, a quarterly magazine, the publication of which he began in 1837. Mr. Ruggles was then much interested in the moral, social and political elevation of the free members of his race in S.C. North, for which he labored through his magazine for many years. It is stated that he was of unmanned blood and that he died in 1899, after being overcome by blindness, highly respected and, esteemed. While our resources have not been completely successful in disclosing the facts required, we feel amply rewarded in reviewing the memory of one of our pioneers in the newspaper field, who worked faithfully to better the conditions then prevailing. All honor to the memory of David Ruggles and his colleagues in the course of such progress. Starting with the declarations that millions are wasted in Birmingham the Birmingham Reporter recently said: Birmingham is an industrial center with avenges for the development of any commercial enterprise. More than a million dollars are paid to Negro laborers in this district every month. A least ninety-eight per cent of the Negro population earn by working with their hands in the various industries of this county; they receive more money than it takes to keep them as regards the ordinary comforts and pleasures of a laboring people. All persons, professional and otherwise, earn enough money to invest in the development of corporations and business enterprises for Negroes. Now is the time to start. The survey has been well made through various publications, by the reports of social and religious workers, and by the services from the several corporations, and it is the Negro's business to become interested in this development that these funds will be corralled and better and bigear business started and maintained for Negro people. The lacking element to a complete this result is defined as organization and the men who head fraternal organizations and other institutions are pronounced of incalculable aid in an effort of this kind. A movement for larger and better business should appeal to a community of the race, where the conditions are so propitious. According to the Savannah T. Negro vote played an important part in determining the result of the recent municipal election in that Southern city. It is said that the threatening place placed upon the doors of the closed churches did much to augment the vote for the independent candidate. The Tribune added: The colored women voters of the city should rightly claim the biggest praise for the splendid results of but Tuesday as far as the cooled voters are concerned. They were registered in larger numbers than the men and their loyalty carried with it more inward demonstration. The work at the Women's Headquarters was effective and it was satisfactorily done. The next administration will, no doubt, take cognizance of the splendid service these women tendered. Such incidents as this municipal election in Savannah moint the way for the race to exercise the franchise to serve its best interests, in bringing about better local government. MR. JOHNSON AND THE DYER BILL Editor of THE NEW York Age: I have just read "A few observations as to the Dyer Bill" by H. A. W. For one I am thoroughly tired of all that bunk about "too much Johnson" and the "tactics of the N. A. A. C. P." Especially am I so because of the evident selfishness and jealousy of those voicing disapproval of Mr. Johnson and the N. A. A. C. P. Although Foch commanded the Allied Army, and although Woodrow Wilson virtually dictated to the United States, our race cannot yet see the wisdom and advisability of having a single command. It is certainly too bad an impossibility to place the Dyer Bill and among of each one of our numerous and multitudinous "leaders." I do not remember exactly how many "leaders" we have, but I am sure it must be about 99 per cent of the population. Now, let us see how intelligent it is. But the question, why didn't we write it in full, fell through. In his first paragraph H. A. W. serves that "the Methods pursued in the N. A. A. C. P., to have an an lynching, bill passed in the Senate do not think will ever succeed in his third paragraph he "observes" "There was no trouble in passing the bill in the house because there was a Republican majority of 169. If there had been that majority in the Senate it would have been passed casc. Now there are only 90 Senators, who will never be possible to get a majority of 169 total, of only 90. We are willing to take our imaginations for the sake of H. A. W. and imagine what he intended to say. Evidently he intended to say that if the proprie tionate majority in the Senate was same as in the Congress, the bill we have easily passed. But alas! H. A. W. said in the set that the bill would never pass Mr. Johnson using his present means But a second later he does an all face and decides or observes, rather that the bill would have passed with Mr. Johnson and his wild mea if the Republican majority had a little larger. This little advice to H. A. W. you must rush in print to all observations, use a little intelligent Read the Congressional Record you will find that there were many introduced by Republicans, all of that 169 majority, the failed to pass. Now according to logic, those bills could not have taken But they did. I give H. A. W. some advice the 12th paragraph says that the 14th Amendment NOT be enforced. Now we are said that "cannot" means an imposed Anybody with any sense at scope H. A. W. knows that the 15th and 15th Amendments could be enforced if this country really wanted to enlarge them. In conclusion, I should like to thank H. A. W. to not be so rocky at time. At present his logic is so logical, and his observations are observed, his reasoning so shortened, and his DUMBNESS SO APPLENT, that he should not venture in print yet. At his present pace, H. W. will be ready to emerge in a centuries from now. MILTON R. G. G. Atlantic City, N. J.

Béchy. was an orphan girl, who an Old farmer had adogred. She was compelled to live with the farmer wnt she was eighteen. She had most of the work to do and was cruclly treat- ed. It-way Christmas eve, and all the fou hed Fore 19 paiay and tel her alone. She sat by the fire wishing that she had a god-mother like Cin- erella, . 1 was cuttomary for, dumb, things to speats of CHpistmas eve and while she wae sitting by watehing the ruddy alow of the fire, someone spoke. . She Tooktg arouad, but no one seemed to be néar but che kitty, and sure enough it was he that wag crying to tell Becky how to win the affections of the family. One day I heard: aunt Sally say to the master, “James, that wild kitten isn't any use at all, You bad better drown her and get's nice tame bne to amuse the childresi and rid the house ‘of mice.” “The poor thing has been abused, I guess, 30 wo will give her” another trial and maybe she will come’ to trust us after a while,” replied the good master, : . T thought over these things as I Tay ender the. barn and resolved to .do my dest, for T did wot: want tobe drown Te was hard at first, but I began by coming out when little Jane called me gnd leuing ‘her play with me. | Then T veatured into the house and finding & welcome at my first visit, I went apele: and took s*mouse with me to show thar 1 wasn't idle No one hurt or frightened me, and soon I was the household pet. For several years I have Jed. happy life here.” Becky listened eagerty, .and when Puss had ended, ahe said timidly, “Do pou think if T try not to be, afraid, t t0 show that I want to be affection: ate, the people will let me and will Vike it?” “Certainly,” Puss replied, “I heard the mistress say you were a good handy little thing. Do, as I did and you will find that there is plenty of love in the world.” “I will, thank you, dear old Puss, for your advice.” Thg cat then showed ite friendship for, Becky by rubbing. its soft chee against her hand and finally settling in her lap for a little nap. Presently another voice spoke—a queer mon- strous voice high above— | “Tick, tuck: wish again, lite Becky, and T'll tell you how to find sour wiah.” It_was the old moon faced clock be- hind the door .which had gtrocl: wwelve just before tabby first spoke. “Dear me,” said ‘Becky, “how queer- ly things do act tonight.” she sbought a moment théa continued soberly. “I Tim Teed my sort better.

I dost see, I don’t see how I can go on doing it lor six more years.” “lust how I uted to feel.” said the lock. ““T couldn't bear ‘to ‘think that Thad to stand bere nd do nothing but tick year after year. I flatly said T wouldn't, end stopped 9 dozén times a day. Bless me, what a fuss I made uanl T was put in this corner to stand idle for, several months”. + “Ae frat I rejoiced. then I became tired of doing nothing, and began to reflect that 1 was born a clock It would be wise tc da my duty and get some satisfaction our ut at 1f 1 could, and 4 T went to work again” “Please teach me to be faithful and love my duty.” cried, Becky. “Twill.” said the old clock as it steuck the half bovr with a smile on rte face, Here the first blared up, and the tea- kettle hanging on the crane began to sink, “How cheerily: that is.” said Becky, as the whole kitchen brightened with the ruddy glow, "If 1 could have a third wish, I'¢ wish :o be as cheer- ful as the fire"— SHave your wish if you choose, but you must work for it as I do.” said ihe fire as its’ flames embraced the old kettle, Tecky ‘thought she heard a queer voice humming these words: Tm an old black kertle “With a very crooked nose, “ But I can't help being gay “When the jolly fire glows.” “T shouldn't wonder a mite if that child had ‘been up to mischlef to night, rummged all over the house, eaten hers self sick, cr stolen something and run away with ft." freeted aunt Sally, as the family went jingling home on the big sleigh about ‘one o'clock from the big Christmas party. ‘Tut, tut, aunty, I wonlda’t think evil of the poor little thing. “If I'd had my way. the would have gone with us and had ‘a good time. . She doesn't jook as though she had seen many, and I have & motion it is what she needs.” said the master, i “The thought of her alone at. home has worried me ail the evening, but the didn't seem to tind. and'I haven't vad time to get @ nice dress ready for ee ee: Se ee ew ee, Oe eae had my way, she would have gone with us and had a good time. - She doesn't Yok as though she had seen many, and I have & motion it is what sbe needs.” said the master. i “The thought of her alone at-home has worried me ail the evening, but the didn’t eeem to’ tmind, and’ haven't had time to get a nice dress ready for her to wear. so J tet it go.” added aunt Sally as she cuddled tittle Jane under the cloaks and shawis with a regretful memory of Becky knocking ai-her heart. __‘T've got some’ pop corn and a bounc- ing big apple for her,” said Billy, the Maced tad petctied upon his father's lap playing drie.” and I will give her one of my dolls, She said that -she never had one.” “Wasn't that dreadful ~ put in tittle Jane as she popped from under the cover like a bird from its nest. “Better, see what she has been do- ing fret,” advised sunt Sally, “if she hasn't done uny mischief Sind hay re- membered to have the kettle. botling, so J can have a cop of hot tea after my ride, and if she hat kept the fire fire wp and warmed my slippers, J don't know bot Tt give ‘Wer the red: mittens it? > They found Becky lying on the pare hoor, and old tabby in ter arms with a ‘cormer of her bloe panifore wpresd over her.

The Republican party, through the impatience of its present day leaders, seems to have entered upon a wholesale policy of surrender. With the implied approval of the administration, we have seen the spectacle of the surrender to "Lilywhite" sentiment in several Southern States of the regular party organization, with the result of dissatisfaction and division among the voters, the bulk of whom are Negroes. No substantial gain has been recorded from this policy in the South, it having contributed to the loss of the sole Republican representative in Congress from Virginia. The surrender of the Republican majority in the Senate to a Democratic minority in the matter of anti-lynching legislation is another instance of mischievous policy, fresh in the minds of our readers. The net results of this surrender have been to alienate and disgust the great number of Negro voters throughout the country, who are rapidly losing their veneration and respect for the party that once boasted such upstanding contenders for the right as Hanna and Roosevelt and others of their stripe. Now it is said that due to the result of the last State election the Republican leaders are prepared to surrender New York to the Democrats in the next national election and to lose their hope of retaining the Presidency on carrying the Western territory. In pursuance of this simulated policy, we are told that the political patronage of New York, which has been left largely in the hands of the Democrats left over from the Wilson administration, is to be handed over to the West. That is hen the Democratic holdovers not covered by the civil service are finally separated from the service, their places will be filled by deserving Republicans from Illinois and other parts of the West. How this policy of currender will be relied on the Republican party workers of New York State, who have given their efforts to the rolling up of Republican majorities in the past, remains to be seen. The results of a State policy carried out under Governor Miller along somewhat, similar lines, especially so far as the ignoring of the Negro voters was concerned, were strikingly illustrated in the last campaign. Disatisfaction was rife among these voters and the result was an overwhelming Democratic victory. The voters of New York have but little reason to rejoice over the result of placing a Republican administration in power. In fact the only measure of satisfaction, that they have been able to extract from the situation was that they experienced a change from the blight of Wilsonism and some of its attendant evils. But the lesser figures of the previous administration have been suffered to remain in office to the offence of those who voted for a change. The danger threatening the Republican party is that the policy of surrender has become a blight upon its prospects for the future. No party can base an aggressive campaign for victory at the polls on a policy characterized by surrender to expediency. What is needed in the Republican party is the infusion of courage and the aggressive spirit that fights for principles. Unless the Republican leaders can regain this spirit, their cause is hopeless. Let the party abandon the surrender to expediency and reactionary methods that gets it nowhere. If the present leaders cannot develop the backbone and courage needed to meet the emergency, their places should be filled by new men who possess these needed qualities. VARIANCE AD TO METHODS. In our June of last week appeared a communication from an esteemed correspondent of The Tax Act, in which he express somewhat caustic criticism of the methods pursued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its campaign advocating the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. So far as these anti-lynching refuted upon the judgment and discretion exercised by Secretary James Weldon Johnson in working for the measure, we think that these criticisms were unwarranted. Mrs. Johnson's efforts to secure a full and constant support of the bill by the Republican Students were ardent and unwitting. The insistence that she did not measure up to the requirements of the task was in any way justified. by all stands that he gained over many objections raised by business magnates of the bill. The impression that he "wanted to play a joke hand in order to get the glory, and also the Schlumberger model," is a gratuitous assumption, unwarranted by the facti. Mr. Johnson sought and welcomed assistance from any quarter that promised to facilitate the passage of the bill, or to remove the obstacles raised by its opponents. All in all, the campaign carried on by the Association in its fight against lynching was characterized by a forceful intelligence and well directed effort that made the whole country up and take notice. If the organization had done nothing more than to concentrate the attention of the nation upon the question of mob law and lynching, as it did in this campaign, it has justified its existence and ably performed a national duty. The time will come when the people of the United States, and their law-makers as well, will realise that the question of mob law and lynching is not a problem that solely concerns the Negro. The three riotes of Herrin and Bel Mer and the last Arkansas lynching were not racial in their conception. The fight against mob violence and lynching has just begun in earnest. It is the fight of American civilization against lawlessness and anarchy. If it is not waged and won by all the representatives of law and all the decedence of republican institutions is at hand. The fight against lynching must be carried on to a finish regardless of persons or personalities. The cause is greater than any person or any one race. It is the existence of civilization that is at stake. TO INVESTIGATE LYNCHING. The introduction of a joint resolution into the Congress of the United States for the purpose of establishing a commission to investigate lynching may be taken as an indication that the fight against this national menace has just begun. Hitherto Taz Aca has been inclined to regard the proposition to appoint a commission on this subject as a legislative effort to defer action in this matter, but the recent failure of anti-lynching legislation in the Senate has shown that the fight is bound to be a long and bitter one that will require the employment of all the resources of public sentiment and legislative tactics. This joint resolution was introduced by Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, an earnest and determined advocate of anti-lynching legislation, whose motives are beyond question. Although he failed of re-ejection last Fall in the Democratic tidal wave that swept over New York and New Jersey, he is bound to remain as a force in Republican politics. His purpose in providing for this commission is "of advising and providing information for Congress in matters of legislation which will prevent lynching and insure to all persons the equal protection of the laws." It would seem that no intelligent legislator, anxious for the welfare of the nation and sworn to uphold the constitution and government by law, could oppose such an inquiry for such a purpose. Nevertheless, it was announced that the Democratic Senators from the South would fight this joint resolution with the same rancor that they showed against the Dyer bill. It remains to be seen whether the Republican majority will stand behind Senator Freelinghysen in this effort to show cause why antilynching legislation is needed. While this proposition to advise the Congress as to the necessity and propriety of such a measure as the Dyer bill may seem wholly uncalled for by those who have followed the anti-lynching campaign, it may be that it will prove the most effective means of reaching the heart of the evil. A searching inquiry under government auspices into the subject of lynchings in the United States, including the number and the causes thereof, and the inadequacy of the methods now used to prevent them, would present an effective argument with the public and with Congress, for the devising and adoption of preventive legislation. The brutal facts brought to light by such a commission would put the Mar Rouge investigation into the background. Not even the Southern representatives in Congress could defend the recital of murder and torture that would be read into the record. Let the commission to investigate lynching be authorized at once. The editor of the American Baptist, published at Louisville, Ky., draws a line in the matter of social recreation to be permitted under churchly auspices. It recently said: In our opinion the social phases of church work should be cultivated and encouraged, but there must be a proper regard for the character of the recreation used in such gatherings. This suggestion grows out of the fact that churchwork is already entertained the able mothers of church with a 'Smoker' which is reported as being an enjoyable affair. It may have been enjoyable but we doubt the property of such a gathering and more especially if it was held in churches. Churches do not encourage smoking churchly drunk by members of a church and this kind of resentment is to say the least of doubtful propriety. This, denoted a new subject for debate before the ministerial unions, as to whether "nature" are to be allowed to man. Now how about those ministerial functions who are addicted to the hobby of biking? Must they serve the single or the other, when composing their own? THE CASE OF DR. GRANT. The utterances of Dr. Percy, Stichney Grant, rector of the Church of the Ascension, Fifth Avenue, are attracting nation-wide attention. This is quite natural. Dr. Grant is one of the most outstanding figures in the Episcopal Church. What he says has generally commanded publicity because of the daring character of the views which he expresses. Now that his utterances are in criticism of some of the fundamental beliefs of the church with which he is connected, his words will be flashed to every English speaking country in the world. The controversy between Dr. Grant and the authorities of the Episcopal Church began about three years ago when he was sternly rebuked by Bishop Burch, then Bishop of New York, for permitting the Church of the Ascension to be used as a public forum on Sunday night where liberal and radicals were allowed freely to express their opinions. Bishop Burch<in his rebuke forbade the continuation of these discussions on the ground that the church was "consecrated to the worship of Almighty God." The controversy in its present stage is between Dr. Grant and Bishop Manning, now Bishop of New York. Two weeks ago Dr. Grant preached a sermon in which he declared that the consecration of church houses is an inheritance from witchcraft, magic and taboo. Speaking upon this point, Dr. Grant said: "Unfortunately, the idea of consecration has come up from ancient ideas associated with taboo-things among the lower races that priests and could not be done and which were associated in the mind of the worshipper with the magic and powers supposed to reside in the priests. This idea of a magic power has been perpetuated in the consecration of churches, so that consecration, strictly interpreted, has meant that something has happened to the churches that cannot be explained under ordinary formulas of intelligence or action. Dr. Grant further denied that Jesus had the power of God. He expressed the view that many of the miracles accredited to Jesus would fall under well known categories clearly and well classified by psychologists today. He said, "Science understands them. They are not miracles." This sermon promptly brought from Bishop Manning a letter calling upon Dr. Grant either to recant or resign. Bishop Manning's letter is a clear and forceful piece of writing. He does not question the right of Dr. Grant to his beliefs or disbeliefs, but questions his right to press them as a representative of the Episcopal Church. He charges Dr. Grant with having lost his belief in the Saviour Himself as He is presented in the four gospels and the Apostles' Creed. On this point the Bishop goes on to say: "You will say that this church allows great liberty of interpretation as to the meaning of the articles of the Creed. This is quite true, and I rejoice in the great liberty of thought which this church allows and desire to uphold it to the utmost limit that is lawful and right. But interpretation of a fact or a truth is one thing and denial of it is another. "Interpretation means reasonable explanation of a fact on the basis of its acceptance as true. To call that interpretation which is in fact denial, is a misuse of language. There is a great liberty of thought and expression in the Episcopal Church, but this does not give her ministers the right to deny the essential faith for which the church stands." The question as to whether a minister should be allowed to teach what he conscientiously believes and comes to believe, or whether he must always teach only what the creed of his church sets forth, is a question upon which persons will differ. Nevertheless, it is a clear-cut issue. Most likely the majority of people will feel that Bishop Manning is right, that if Dr. Grant wishes to express or teach beliefs which are in any degree contrary to the fundamental beliefs of the Episcopal Church, his place is outside and not inside that denomination. This opinion will be strengthened in the minds of many by the facts that Dr. Grant's salary is paid to him as a priest of the Episcopal Church. However, there is one very weak point in Bishop Manning's letter, and that is when he calls upon Dr. Grant to take back his words if he wishes to remain in the church. If Dr. Grant by mere lip service should take back the words which he has uttered as his earnest and sincere beliefs, would he be a fit man to continue as a minister in the church? It appears to us that such an act would render him more unfit than a continuance of his so-called heretical beliefs. This whole question of the freedom of ideas and the expression of them in the church is of vital significance. Indeed, the very future of the church hangs upon it, Bishop Manning's contention to the contrary notwithstanding. The church will soon have to face the question as to whether it is more dangerous to her future and power to have men in her pulpits speak what they honestly have come to see as the truth or men in her pulpits who are either willing to dissemble the truth as they see it or are too narrow-minded and blind to recognize it. SOME CONSTITUTIONAL EXPERTS. The writer attended a committee conference a few days ago and a white woman who is an active worker in behalf of the Negro, and who was present, related to him the following incident. She said: "I met with a group of young colored people a few days ago and I was surprised to hear them say regarding the abandonment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill that they were not interested in the measure; that the Constitution had sufficient provisions in it for the protection of the Negro in all of his rights, and that there was no need any legislation on the subject." She asked me on what grounds did I consider that they took such a position. I answered that they took it on the ground of sheer ignorance. Of course, the Constitution has all the provisions necessary for the protection of the Negro in all of its rights, but the Constitution does not enforce itself. Many provisions in the Constitution depend upon special legislation for their enforcement. The best proof of this as regards this particular subject is that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Affidements, which contain the provisions incorporated in the Constitution for the special protection of the Negro are each of them, respectively, concluded by the following sections: "Congress should have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." "The Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." The legislation contemplated in the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is designed to enforce that clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which says that we must shall "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the right protection of the law." THE CONSTITUTION OF THOMAS DIXON. In spite of Dr. Henry Jimmy Grant's doubts, it appears that the age of muscles is not yet over. Thomas Dixon, the author of "The Clansman" and of "The Birth of a Nation," before a large audience at the Century Theatre Monday night announced the Ku Klux Klan as "the most dangerous movement in American history." Mr. Dixon not only denounced the Klan but assumed the role of Defender of the Negro. He condemned in the strongest language possible the anti-Negro activities of the Klan and declared himself "ready to stand beside the huddlest Negro and defend him from such assaults with my ride in hand." What has happened to Mr. Dixon who more than any single individual in the country made the re-birth of the Ku Klux Klan possible and stimulated anew prejudice against the Negro. Has he like Saul of Taraus; while going upon his mission of persecution, seen a light and heard a voice; or does he now think that a moving picture against the Klan would be as profitable as was "The Birth of a Nation"? However, we will not question Mr. Dixon's motives. Our only comment is that he will need to be very diligent in the right in order to overbalance the evil he has done. And we must also add that we do not think the sort of defense offered by Mr. Dixon is the most effective that he can render. If Mr. Dixon, as a Southern white man, will take his pen in hand and write in justice and fairness about the Negro, we feel that he will be able to accomplish a great deal more than he could with any amount of artillery, let alone his single rifle.

We do not believe that too much democracy but to too Frederick Harrison, the eminent English philosopher and historian, died this motnh at the great age of ninety-two. A few days before his death he wrote a letter to a friend in which he said: "Every board in civilisation is cracking. Literature, drama, art, industry, government, peace and order are all being swept over by a flood of Democratic vulgarity. All public problems seem fated by ruin. "There will be no real settlement of the reparations and of Europe at Paris to-day—or any time. We cannot—and we need, not—stop the Turks. "The British Empire is melting away just like the Roman in A. D. 300, and for the same causes. Let us be reassured that you and I cannot help it at all." The opinions of a man like Frederick Harrison cannot be dismissed lightly; but in considering this gloomy forecast of his we must question whether it is pessimism or prophecy. It is reasonable to look for either in a man with the mind of a genius who has passed the age of ninety with his mental powers unimpaired. From all visible indications it appears that Frederick Harrison was speaking words of prophecy; that civilization as it now operates is going to amaah. But that, perhaps, is not the worst thing which could happen to it. The civilization which we have is built mainly upon pride backed up by force, and its maintenance depends upon the increase of force. The most gloomy thought in Mr. Harrison's forecast is that democracy itself is a failure. To that thought we cannot subscribe. We do not believe that the evils of the age are due to too much democracy but to too little of it actually practiced. AN ACTIVE CAREER ENDED. AN ACTIVE CAREER ENDED. The reported death of ex-Judge McCants Stewart, formerly of the Supreme Court of Liberia, but more popular in practicing law in the recently acquired insular possessions of the Virgin Islands, recalls his unique personality and his remarkable career. Possessed of a brilliant mind, determined will and striking oratorical powers, Mr. Stewart set a high mark both in the ministry of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and in the practice of law, but his love of the latter profession predominated and the greater part of his career was spent in its service. Graduated from the University of South Carolina during Reconstruction times, he started his legal career as a member of the firm of Elliott, Straker and Stewart, at Columbia, S. C. In his early days in New York City, he passed the latter part of his ministerial career as pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, then located on Sullivan street. His leaving the ministry soon was followed by his admission to the New York bar, upon introduction of Algernon S. Sullivan. His reputation as a lawyer of ability was soon established and he took an active part in all public matters of the community. In Brooklyn, in those days as separate municipality, he established the Brooklyn Literary Union as a forum for the discussion of public questions, which brought to its platform eminent speakers of both races. He espoused the cause of Democracy in politics and attained conspicuous distinction as the outstanding representative of the race in that party. He served for several years as a member of the Brooklyn Board of Education, and rendered valuable service in bringing about the wiping out of the color line in the public schools. He had reached a position and acquired an influence in Democratic councils hitherto unknown for a man of his race, but he sacrificed all that he had gained in this respect by renouncing his Democratic affiliations and returning to the Republican ranks. The next sensational event in his career was his departure, with his family for the Hawaiian Islands, where he embarked in the practice of law at Honolulu and spent several years in active and aggressive public work. His next move was to the Republic of Liberia on the West Coast of Africa. Here he spent several years; part of the time on the bench of the Supreme Court and in the service of the newly adopted country in negotiations with the European powers. During this period he compiled the Customs code and revived the counter of the Republic. The next year or so was spent in London by Mr. Stewart and his family until he came again under the shadow of the American flag on the island of St. Thomas. Only a few weeks he revived the scenes of his early activities in Bromford and Manchester, where he was warmly greeted by those who had worked with him in the past. As better, stepping into whatever authority he allowed to make the publishing place his ominent English philosopher and his great age of ninety-two.

Canta Stewart traversed many lands in search of his quest, a country where the ability to dare and do was not circumscribed by case or color. His quest is now ended. A NEWSPAPER PIONEER. The Ace has received an inquiry from a professor of history in a Kentucky institution for the following facts in the life of David Ruggles, one of the first Negro journalists in America: The place of his birth, the date of his birth (day of the month and year), whether or not he was free-mason, where he received what he received, where he lived and the exact date (day of the month and year) of his death. While not successful in digging up all of the facts requested, enough was gleaned concerning the journalistic career of David Ruggles to justify a recital of the facts at this time and place. In "The Afro-American Press and Its Editors," by I. Garland Penn, appears a reference to the Genius of Freedom issued in New York City some time between 1845 and 1847 with David Ruggles as editor and publisher. Mr. Ruggles was described as "a highly educated gentleman, refined in manners." He was one of the first promoters of the Underground Railroad, established to assist fugitive slaves from Geo South on their way to freedom in Canada. He earned the reputation of being the most logical writer of his time, at the same time being quick and ready. William Welles Brown, in his "Rising Sun," was quoted as saying of Mr. Ruggles' reply to Dr. Reese, a colonizationist who advocated the expiration of the Negro: "In his argument the Afro-American proved too much for the Anglo-Saxon, and exhibited in Mr. Ruggles those qualities of keen perception, deep thought and originality that mark the critic and the man of letters." Frederick Douglas characterized him as "not only an intelligent man, but one of the bravest and boldest spirits of the times." John J. Zuille said that "he was respected as an editor and in the courts of New York for his intimate knowledge of law in slave cases." Previous to starting in the newspaper field, Mr. Rugles had born the owner and editor of the Mirror of Liberty, a quarterly magazine, the publication of which he began in 1837. Mr. Rugles was then much interested in the moral, social and political elevation of the free members of his race in the North, for which he learned through his magazine for many years. It is stated that he was of unimposed blood and that he died in 1899, after being overcooked by kingsmen, highly respected and admired. While our research has not been completely successful in disclosing the facts required, we feel amply awarded in reviewing the memory of one of our pioneers, in the newspaper field who worked faithfully to better the purposes then prevailing. All honor to the memory of David Rugles and his colleagues in the case of other magazine Starting with the declarations that millions are worked in Birmingham, the Birmingham Reporter recently said: Birmingham is an industrial center with avenues, for the development of a commercial enterprise. More than a million dollars are paid to Negro laborers in this district every month. A least ninety-eight per cent of the Negro population earn by working with their hands in the various industries of this county; they receive most money then it is to keep their assets and provide ordinary labor and pleasure of a laboring people. All persons, professional and ordinary earn enough money to invest in the development of corporations and business enterprises for Negroes. Now is the time to start. The survey has been well made through various publications, by the reports of social and religious workers, and by the fact that the Negro's business is interested in his development that the funds will be corralled and better bigger business started and maintained for Negro people. The lacking element to a sample this result is defined as organization and the men who head fraternal organizations and other institutions are promoted of incalculable aid in movement of this kind. A movement for larger and better business should appeal to community of the race, where the conditions are so propitious. According to the Savannah Tribune, the Negro vote played an important part in determining the result of the town municipal election in that Southern city. It is said that the threatening places placed upon the doors of the town churches did much to augment the need for the independent candidate. Its Tribune added: The colored women voters of the city should rightly claim the biggest praise for the splendid results of this Tuesday as far as the coolered are concerned; they were required last year to bear the name of their loyalty carried with it moreeward demonstration. The work at the Women's Headquarters was effective and it was successfully done. The next administration will, no doubt, take cognizance of the splendid service these women tendered. Such incidents as this municipal election in Savannah point the way for the race to exercise the franchise to vote its best interests, in bringing about better local government. MR. JOHNSON AND THE DVER BILL Editor of THE New York Age: I have just read "A few observations as to the Dyer Bill" by H. A. W. F. one I am thoroughly tired of all that hunk about "too much Johnson" and the "tactics of the N. A. A. C. P." Especially am I so because of the evident selfishness and jealousy of those voicing disapproval of Mr. Johnson and the N. A. A. C. P. Although fewer and although Woodrow Wilson virtually dictated to the United States our race cannot yet see the wisdom and advisability of having a single command. It is certainly too bad that it was an impossibility to place the Dyer Bill in the hands of each one of our numerous and multitudinous "leaders." If do not remember exactly how many "leaders" we have, but I am sure must be about 99 per cent. of the population). I use see how intelligent H. A. W. is. By the way, why didn't he write his name in full? In his first paragraph H. A. W. serves that "The methods pursued in the N. A. A. C. P. to have an an lynching bill passed in the Senate do not think will be successful in obliterating it. There was no trouble in passing the bill in the house because there was a Republican majority of 169. It there had been that majority in the Senate it would have been passed easily. Now there are only 99 Senators, and the majority of 169 out of a total of only 99 we are willing to use our imagination for the sake of H. A. W. and imagine what he intended to say. Exactly he intended to say that if the proportionate majority in the Senate was same as in the Congress, the bill he intended to say. But alas! H. A. W. said in the set that the bill would never pass Mr. Johnson using his present method. But a second later he does an face and decides or observes that the bill would have passed if the Republican majority had not a little larger. This little advice to H. A. W. you must rush in print to avoid observations, use a little information. Read the Congressional Record you will find that there were many of all that 169 majority, those failed to pass. Now according to logic, those bills could not have paid. But they did. Let me give H. A. W. some advice. In the 12th paragraph, it states that the Amendment NOT be enforced. Note that that "cannot" means an important Anybody with any sense at allcope H. A. W. knows that the 15th and 15th Amendments could be enforced if this country really wanted to enlist them. Conclusion, I should like to advise H. A. W. to not be so skilful time. At present his logic is logical, and his observations observed, his reasoning so shorted, and his DUMBNESS SO APPEENT, that he should not venture print-yet. At his present pace, H. A. W. is ready to emerge in centuries from now. MILTON R. GOLW Atlantic City, N. J.

Fianza a un Buque Cubano Detenido Para Que Pueda Continuar su Viaje. La legación de Cuba aquí, ha sido notificada por el departamento de Estado de que el buque cubano "Miguel Ferreer," actualmente detenido en Jasksonville, Florida, puede continuar su viaje a St. Pierre con su cargamento de licores siempre que constituya una flanza de consideración al contado. Se haran nuevas gestiones para que el buque proza su vijee sim necesidad de la flanza. El gobierno cubano alega que la ley no requiere el pago de la flanza en el caso del "Miguel Ferreer," que requió puertos en los Estados Unidos a causa de tiempo y desperfectos en la manquinaria. No se ha formulado ningún cargo por las leyes de la prohibición, contra la capitan ni la triplación, y por lo tanto la legación cubana, actuando con instrucciones de su gobierno, proyecto discutir la decision de las autoridades de aduana norteamericana respecto a la fianza de $50,000 o más que debe pagarse antes de que el buque pueda continuar su ruta a St. Pierre, lugar de destino, de acuerdo con los documentos de embarque del mismo. La Legación de Cube se Elevara a la Categoría de Embajada. A seguida de la acción de este gobierno al decidir ascender, la legación en la-Habana al rango embajada Cuba naturalmente tomará determinación similar en fecha próxima. Aunque el gobierno cubano no ha dado todavía ningun paso, elenees entendido que ha expresado su deseo de convertir la legación en Washington en embajada y a este efecto pronto se presentará un proyecto de ley al congreso cubano, el cual aprobado con muy poca oposición, caso de haber alguna. Aunque se han mencionado mucilos nombres, inclusive los de Cosme de la Torriente y el Dr. Guilermo Paterson, subsecretario de estado, como primer embajador de Cuba en los Estados Unidos, tiénese entendido que no se haomatado todavía una determinación final en la materia.

En dicho manifesto se reafirma lo ya declarado anteriormente de que la Liga Portorriquena no tiene tendencias políticas, ni "mucho mucho para intervenir ni tomar parte directa" ni indirectamente en los movimientos políticas de nuestros partidos insulares. La institución aspira a mantener collectivamente el prestigio moral de la instituciónidad portorriquena, o sea, dice el manifesto, "lo que constituye nuestra educación legendaria, sin perder un spice de aquellas contumbres que sealan el hogar familiar como el santuario del amor, en el que reimó siempre el más alto respecto y la más alta consideración entre los padres y los hijos en el elo de la familia, de tal modo que los portorriquenos no vivan disminados, sino como Puerto Rico en Nueva York." Como corolario de todo esto, se aspira igualmente a la fundación de la Casa Portorquíena, para estallecer el contacto social necesario, y prestarse el mensuro apoyo en todos los casos. Los socios son de cuatro categorías: fundadores, los que hayan contribuido a la fundación de la institución; activos, las personas que contribuyan coq no menos de un dollar mensual; de numero, los que no esten sujetos a contribuir con una cinta fija; protectores. los que al iniciarse como socios hagan donativos no menor de cimo dólares. "Uno de nuestros más firmes propios—agrega el manifiesto—en nuestras miras de orden social, es buscar los medios de que nuestras muchachas y jóvenes no tengan que recurrir para bailar a los Dancing Hall, de carácter industrial."

Mrs. Fernande Caddis maintains forties in her home on Greenwich St. WITH OUR GIRLS he had a very nice Christmas vacation. I spent the holidays pleasantly, and had lots of fun playing tennis—my favorite sport. Let us not forget the story, so here we must begin: BECKY'S CHRISTMAS DREAM Becky was an orphan girl, who an old farmer had adopted. She was compelled to live with the farmer until she was eighteen. She had most of the work to do and was cruelly treated. It was Christmas eve, and all the family had gone to a party and left her alone. She sat by the fire wishing that she had a god-mother like Claderella. It was customary for dumb things to speak on Christmas eve and while she was sitting by watching the glow of the fire someone spoke. She looked around but no one seemed to be near the kitty, and sure enough it was he that was trying to tell Becky how to win the affections of the family. One day I heard aunt Sally say to the master, "James, that wild kitten isn't any use at all. You had better drown her and get a nice tame one to amuse the children and rid the house of mice." "The poor thing has been abused, I guess, so we will give her another trial and maybe she will come to trust us after a while," replied the good master. I thought over these things as I lay under the barn and resolved to do my best, for I did not want to be drown. It was hard at first, but began by coming out of the little Jane called me to "her" play with me. Then I ventured into the house and finding a welcome at my first visit. I went again and took a mouse with me to show that I was unlucky. No one hurt or frightened me, and soon I was the household pet. For several years I have led a happy life here." Becky listened eagerly, and when Puss had ended, she said timidly, "Do you think if I try not to be afraid, but to show that I want to be affectionate, the people will let me and will like it." "Certainly," Puss replied, "I heard the mistress say you were a good handy little thing. Do as I did and you will find that there is plenty of love in the world." "I will, thank you, dear old Puss, for your advice." The cat then showed its friendship for Becky by rubbing its soft cheek against her hand and finally settling in her lap for a little nap. Presently another voice spoke—a queer monstrous voice high above— "Tick, tick; wish again little Becky, and I'll tell you how to find your wish." It was the old moon faced clock behind the door, which had struck twelve just before tabby first spoke. "Dear me," said Becky, "how queerly things do act tonight," she thought a moment then continued soberly. "I wish I liked my work better. Washing dishes, picking chips, and beginning towels is such tiresome work. I don't see, I don't see how I can go on doing it for six more years." "Just how I used to feel," said the clock. "I couldn't bear to think that I had to stand here and do nothing but tick year after year. I flatly said I wouldn't, and stopped a dozen times a day. Bless me, what a fuss I made until I was put in this corner to stand idle for several months." "At first I rejoiced, then I became tired of doing nothing, and began to reflect that I was born a clock. It would be wise to do my duty and get some satisfaction out of it if I could, and so I went to work again." "Please teach me to be faithful and love my duty," cried Becky. "I will," said the old clock as it struck the half hour with a smile on its face. Here the first blared up, and the teakettle hanging on the crane began to sing. "How cheerily that is," said Becky, as the whole kitchen brightened with the ruddy glow. "If I could have a third wish, I'd wish to be as cheerful as the fire!" "Have your wish if you choose, but you must work for it as I do," said the fire as its flames embraced the old kettle. Becky thought she heard a queer voice humming these words: "I'm an old black kettle "With a very crooked nose, "But I can't help being gay "When the jolly fire glows." "I shouldn't wonder a mite if that child had been up to mischief fo night, rummaged all over the house, eaten herself sick, or stolen something and run away with it," freeted aunt-Sally, as the family went jingling home on the big sleigh about 'one o'clock from the big Christmas party. "Tut, tut, aunty, I wouldn't think evil of the poor little thing. 'If I'd had my way, she would have gone with us and had a good time. She doesn't look as though she had seen many, and I have a notion it is what she needs," said the master. "The thought of her alone at home has worried me all the evening, but she didn't seem to mind, and I haven't had time to get a nice dress ready for her to wear, so I let it go," added aunt Sally as she caddied little Jane under the cloaks and shawls with a regretful memory of Becky knocking at her heart. "I've got some pop corn and a humming big apple for her," said Billy, the red-faced lad perched upon his father's lax playing drilled, and I will give her one of my dolls. She said that she never had one." "Wann't that dreadful" put in little Jane as she popped from under the cover like a bird from its nest. "Better see what she has been doing first," advised aunt Sally, "if she hasn't done any mischief and has remembered to have the kettle boiling, so I can have a cup of hot tea after my ride, and if she has kept the fire fire up and warmed my glippers, I don't know but I'll give her the red mittens I knit." They found poor Becky lying on the bare floor, and old rabby in her gown with a corner of her blue gauze umbrella spread over her. The fire was burning splendently, the brittle simmering and in a now before the heart stood not only mourn Sally's old slippers but also, thank of mother and mistress. Over a chick, hungry two little girls wormed around, "Well now who could have happened?" Madam C.J. Walker Preparations If you want Beauty of Complexion and softness of Itch try Mine C.J. Walker's World Renowned Toilet Preparations. PULL DIRECTIONS ON EVERY BOTTLE Sally, "Bucky shall have these mittens, and I'll knit her two pairs of stockings, that I will." "So amnt Sally laid be gay mittens close so the little hands that had worked so basify all day. Billy set his big red apple and bag of pop-corn just where she would see them when she awoke. Jane laid the doll in Becky's arms and Tabby smell... of it approvingly, to he children's delight. The farmer had no present ready, but he strobed the little cropped head approvingly with a fatherly touch, which made Becky smile in her sleep. Watching her sleep, he said to himself, "I will do by this forlorn child as I would wish anyone to do by my Janey if she was jef alone." But the mother gave the best gift of all, for she stooped down and kissed Becky as only mothers can kiss. The good woman a heart reproached her for her neglect of the child who had no mother. That unusual touch awakened Becky at once, and as she looked about her with astonished eyes, she saw a wonderful change in all the faces that she clapped here hands and cried with a happy laugh, "My dream's come true! My dream's come true!" I hope all of the girls will enjoy this short story, although there has been four weeks between the two installments. Bye bye dear sisters. DEAREST OF ALL DEAR GIRLS: How are all of you? "Kid Palmer." have you evaporated? I guess you had such a lovely song in "Phila" that you have forgotten me, but I am still in the sunny Southland, "Gay," "Kindness," "Brownie," and others look for a letter from me real soon. "Little Gal," "Tiny" and "Atalanta," what wonderful girls you all are. I certainly enjoyed your stories. What splendid talent our sisters have? "Little Girls," I heard every word you and "Nut" in your parlor last night. Now if you don't believe me, "Ask the Man in the Moon." Ha! ha! shame on you, "Tiny," to let "J" take you to the movies when "S" has been waiting for the opportunity. Girls, I guess you know I am endeavoring to be a poetess, and I know some of you remember the efforts I have made. This year I have resolved to send in more of my work. I have been asked to send in the little prayer that I composed, with a little letter. As I am trying to start the year right, I am sending in my twenty-five cents for this month (January). Who will follow? Now I must close and leave space for others. Always. Augusta. Ga. O Lord, help us, day by day To understand Thy Holy Way. Make us ever bold and strong. To do the right and conquer the wrong. Let us know that now is the time to do our best. Lead us on to the road of success. Give us courage, give us faith Give us knowledge and grace Help us as a future organization That is growing strong. To forever shun the wrong.

Dear Sir: I refrained from replying to your letter of December 18th last, in reference to the above, until I had had an opportunity to confer personally with Dr. Norris, the Chief Medical Examiner of this County. This afternoon, I had an extended interview with Dr. Norris and went over the entire facts of the case, particularly the opinion expressed by him concerning the cause of death of Dent. Dr. Norris informs me that his report of the autopsy performed by him in this case cannot and should not be construed to mean that the death of Herbert Dent was due "entirely to acute alcoholism," and that he would be obliged to qualify his opinion in that regard. The Doctor expressed his willingness to testify to the facts as well as express his opinion concerning the cause of death consistent with the circumstances involved as well as apply the medical theory thereto. Since the only obstacle in the way of presenting the facts of this case to the Grand Jury was the opinion of Dr. Norris, will you be good enough to let me know whether the result of my interview with the Medical Examiner will bring about the submission of the case to the Grand Jury through your office. On the other hand, if it be your desire that the matter be brought before the Homicide Court, I shall be glad to do so provided you will have your office submit to me copies of the data collected as a result of the investigation by your face, including the detailed report of the autopsy. Very truly yours. HERMAN HOFFMAN. HH: SRL. FERTILE GEORGIA FARMS UNTILLED Negro Migration Has Depopulated Counties in Great Cotton Producing Section. Waynesboro, Ga.-Burke county, Ga., which Waynesboro is the county-seat, is in what was once the greatest cotton producing section of the state. But because of the migration of nearly all of the colored population to points North, East and West, it is now almost impossible to find enough labor to cultivate the land. Among the large landholders is a colored man, Dr. W. J. Bryan, who owns about a thousand acres of the most fertile farm land in the country, but most of his tenants have left from this section of the country. This is a similar condition to that obtaining in Jefferson county, which adjoining Burke, as told of in a letter published in The Age, sent from Wardley, one of the largest villages in Jefferson county. The same condition, it is reported, is to be found in various other Georgia counties, in other sections of the state, the movement being attributed to lynchings and general illreatment of Negro citizens by the southern whites.

The senior chaperone standard appropriate selection. It was announced that the Manhattan-Wide Savings would continue during the week. Hundreds have confessed Christ, forgave of whom united with this church last Sunday. We are praying that many more may be led to know their master. The 11 o'clock sermon was preached by the pastor, Dr. Brown. Prior to announcing his text, the congregation joined him in singing "I Need This Every Hour." He then offered a tentive prayer. The subject of his text was "What Think Ye of Christ?" He noted that the transcribing of events during the past week had caused him to change his subject. He presented Jesus Christ as the true foundation upon which the faith of the entire Christian Church is established, and placed that the greatest work being done in the world today is putting man/and woman to accept Christianity. He emphasised the divinity of Christ when the Scriptures declare was God's own Son and is the third person of this Godhead. "What think ye of Christ?" He is not an anguish, but an human man. The principle associated in the divine plan of salvation, constitute the only hope of eternal happiness. He declared that in the writings of all the poets, philosophers and words of man of wisdom of all ages, unmistakable references are, made to Christ, and in all of them, He is lied up as the world's only hope of eternal salvation. He pleaded that Christians would not suffer themselves to be pulled away from their moovings, but content to hold impatient faith in the plan of salvation through Christ, as not forth in the Bible—which is God's Word to man. This was indeed an interesting person, delivered in an earnest and impressive manner. The congregation linked with almost breathless attention. At its conclusion eight persons were received into the church. The Sunday-school campground promptly at 2 o'clock. There was a large attendance. By reason of the growth in membership, and the corresponding numerical increase in the classes, our church building is far too small to accommodate our large attendance. The Sunday-school contribution amounted to $19.25. A large audience was present at 4 o'clock to witness the "Heavenly Gates Alar," which was given under the auspices of the Lyceum for the benefit of the New Born, N. C., fire sufferers. At 8 o'clock Dr. Brown preached the annual sermon to the Chishman's Bunthallic League of which Julius W. Watson is president. The Women's Ambulatory was present as guest of the parent club. This organization reported that your years ago there were only 200 members, but today it has an enrollment of 1,365, with a cash balance in bank of $23,000. Members are paid a sick benefit of $12 weekly, with a death benefit of $200. At conclusion of the sermon, a purse was presented to the pastor, Dr. Brown; and suitable gifts were made to cholmarter, organist, Mone. Luke Robinson-Jones and members of the choir. Next Sunday the pastor will preach at 10:45 a.m. In the evening he will preach an annual sermon to the Knights of Toussaint. The sick: Louise Stewart, 236 West 134th street; Anna Pirka, 2486 Seventh avenue; Florence Gomes, 171 West 1834 street; Annie Holloway, 2228 Sowell avenue; George Dillard, 281 West 1838 street; Annie Hundley, 244 West 64th street; Emma Alexander, 204 West 1436 street; Bettie Ward, 629 Lenox avenue, care of Saunders. The congregations were large and spiritually appreciative all day last Sunday at St. James Presbyterian Church, 59-61 West 137th street, near Leon Avenue. Dr. Hyder occupied his pulpit at both services. In the morning he took for his text the eleventh Psalm and third verse. The theme was a Man's Greed and his experience. The preacher said among other things that, "A Man's belief in the Christian religion should produce a body of experience which would be as real in his life as any other fact of existence." He drew attention to the danger of a theoretical faith that does not affect the life currents from which deeds flow. He developed the thought that service performed by Christians with no thought of monetary reward was the acid test of fellowship with Jesus who found his greatest pay in the consciousness that he had done something for somebody else. The Brotherhood held its regular meeting at four o'clock. The Junior Christian Endoverage Society gave a special program at 6:45. At the evening service the pastor delivered the annual sermon to the St. John Lodge and Vandell Chapel of Mechanics. Four new members joined the church during the day. St. James, at the evening service made a special offering to the Newberns Fire victims. In addition to urging the members to so operate in the union revival, the pastor recommended that the Fletcher send a separate offering. In the manner of the church, to help covert the expenses of the Casino revival. Next Sunday Dr. Flyder will discuss in the morning sermon the following subject: "Faith, Fearing and Judgement" related to the act of conversion. Saulm M. R.

On Monday night the business meeting of the church was held. The following officers were chosen at this meeting: Duncan—Jane Dougherty, Edmund, Turner. Wednesday the B. Y. P. U. meeting was held under their president, Miss Lillian Wendling. On account of some other engagement, Master Harry Blond could not be at this meeting to give his program. Friday evening was the prayer meeting. They had a wonderful time and a nice crowd of people. On Saturday morning at 11 a.m., in spite of the disheguided weather, we had a huge attendance. Rev. H. A. Bockler gave a talk. After the wonderful talk by the pastor there was laughing. At 1:10 p.m., there was Sunday-school under their new superintendent, Miss Baldi. There was a short, interesting talk given to the Sunday-school on "Keep Aging" by Mr. Overton of Terrytown, N. Y. At 8 o'clock, there was preaching by the pastor, then communion. The total collectic of the day was $7111. St. Martin's M. R. Church. On Sunday, January 21; the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. K. Church were attended by large congregations. The pastor, Dr. W. H. Bishop who has been all for the past four weeks is still confirmed to his bed but the infant move from the sick room is very encouraging and hoped for a speedy recovery are entertained by the members and friends of the Church. Rev. W. U. Hait, evangelist, who has been conducting the Sunday revival services for three weeks, was the speaker at both services and delivered eighteen and powerful sermons. The text of the morning sermon was Hebrews, 10th chapter, 1st and 2nd verses, Theme, "The Christian Rite." The text of the evening sermon was St. Matthew, 10th chapter, 10th verse. Theme, "The Shower's Doom." The Sunday-school was largely attended and the collection good. The newly elected teachers and officers were installed by Rev. Holt with well chosen words. The concessional services of the Eworth League were largely attended and a very enjoyable program rendered. During the day, clown patrons joined the church. Dinner was served in the church house by the Ladies' Aid. Next Sunday morning, January 28, Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church will preach. At both the morning and evening services the choir, under Prof. E. A. Jackson, rendered appropriate selections, alternating with the congregation in the sharing at the evening services. Bush Memorial Church The pastor, Dr. G. M. Oliver, preached an able sermon on Sunday morning to an appreciative audience. His subject was "The righteous man and blessings received." Throughout the entire delivery of the discourse, there were attestations from the audience of its satisfaction with the message delivered. Dr. Oliver emphasized the vital necessity of allowing our lives to conform to the pattern laid down in the Bible, which is given for the guidance of mankind. Trudy faith in God's word as taught and practiced by the church is the safest principle by which people can live. At 1 o'clock there was quite a large attendance at the Sunday-school. Nine persons united with the church during the day. First Roman Church Many people gathered to listen to the inspiring sermon preached by Pastor Bobbin on Sunday morning: His text was St. John 17:1. "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, Pastor, the house is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Three." Pastor Bobbin said. "This was the prayer that Jesus made to His Father and which can be the prayer of every individual who is willing to suffer with and for Christ. They can all pray God to glorify them as He did His Son." At 2 o'clock Superintendent Migna opened the Sunday school. The children are doing very well in their understanding of this lesson studies. The Literary Society at 4 o'clock had Mrs. Peterson of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church in charge of the program, Paper by Mrs. Waltz; solo by Mrs. Peterson. At 8 o'clock Prayer Baptism again prescheduled, text: "Do this in remembrance of me." This was taken from a part of what Christ said at the Last Supper, when He asked His disciples to take the wine and brand as a symbol of His body and blood. The clerics who served during the city by the Life, Liberty and Happiness Society and 911 were turned over to the church, presided from the name. Communion was played at both morning and evening services. Pope summoned were read into the church. Pope Benedict was made THE NEW YORK AGE: SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1928.

And gore your souls so straightway ye shall greet, Whence ye have sprung, your guilty graves again. Truth's eyes shall spend on klans one look of large disdain! began with the celebration of the Lord's Supper at 8 a.m. At 11 a.m. m. the vicar, Rev. Scott Wood, preached from the text, "Lord teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples." He showed that prayer was the only medium through which the Will, of God can take effect upon men, and that men pray everywhere and its universality proves its absolute necessity in order to receive the indwelling of the Holg Spirit. The mission was filled with inner listeners. At 8 p. m., Brother G. P. Hance of Order of St. Barnabas Brotherhood, and manager of St. Barnabas Home for Incarable men and boys at Gibbonia, Pa., applies to a capacity audience. Poverty and friendliness are the keys to the entrance of that House. It knows no color or creed. He has 90 men and boys at present. It is a real home with all comforts and absolutely free. Brother Hance made a wonderful impression. It is the only institution of its kind under the auspices of the Episcopal Church. The work moves on apreadially and the people are all working faithfully. The Doreas Society of St. Luther's Episcopal Mission, Mrs. Renne, president, sent a large well filled barrel of alcohol to the Rev. R. I. Johnson, rector of St. Cyprian's Church, New Born, N.C. for distribution to the recent New Born children. HOTEL OLGA M. H. WILSON, 7th Avenue 2700 Services were well attended last Sunday. Two persons were added to the membership of the church. The Sunday-school and the athletic club have largely increased their membership in the new year. An interesting literary program will be presented Sunday in the main auditorium of the church at 3 p.m. Talented artists and prominent citizens will take part in the program. The public is cordially invited to attend. Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors A unique announcement in the advertising columns of the *Terms Freeman* enumerated the number of houses built by a colored contractor of Houston during 1922 and stated that "the jobs speak for themselves." It concluded: In all I have built thirty-two complete houses during the past year and my best advertisement is this large number of satisfied customers. That sounds like good business, both for the contractor and the house owners. This is the sort of business that will help up the race. The number of colored students at the Iowa State University is stated to have increased from fourteen to seventy within the past seven years. This indicates the growth of the demand for higher education among the race in the Middle West. In discussing the migration of colored people who are leaving the South for various cities in the North, the Des Moines Bystander raises the question, "Are we prepared to receive these people, give them the advantages of our experiences and help them on to a happy and prosperous life?" It added: First, the average of these people having been brought up in church, are deeply religious and will respond readily to the church, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and other community organizations. The beads of these institutions must see to it that these people find such places immediately. Once under the influence of religious activities, other avenues of life will be easier to tread. Second, our schools, of course, are the very best, but the real problem is to keep the pupils in them until they obtain sufficient training. We must confess that the example set along this line is far below par and maybe these newcomers will be the teachers in this case. Third, these people should be taught the proper civil and political opportunities. Many of them have never vowed before. Our newspapers, forums and public schools, must, if they serve the purpose for which they were founded, lay great stress on these important functions in our national life. Fourth, these people are to a great extent saving, eager to patronise institutions operated by colored people and in a great many instances business men themselves. Let our financial and trade institutions keep step with the times; make them good business houses, not good Negro business houses. These suggestions are both pertinent and practical and should be kept in mind in making the readjustments necessary to cope with the situation. Insisting that the colored people of the country want no monkeying with the present immigration laws, the Baltimore Afro-American said: Farm and manufacturing interests are beseeching Congress to let down the bar enough to let in some 368,000 additional foreigners every year, to meet the present shortage in unskilled labor. Last year with the bars down, in round numbers 244,000 foreigners were admitted to America, but 238,000 went home, leaving a net gain of around 6,000. To meet the shortage in building trades and in farm workers, employers secured workers from the South, thereby spreading the coolred population more evenly over the country. The shortage of unskilled labor caused by the restriction of immigration has afforded the black laborers of the Sbuth Abyradjalen Baptist Church. Standing room was at a premium at the morning, afternoon and evening farewell services in the old church. The pastor delivered a thoughtful sermon in the morning on "Going Forward," and the assistant pastor gave one of his most stirring sermons in the evening from the subject, "My Presence Shall Go With Thee." The afternoon services were in charge of the Sunday-school, and consisted of music, papers and farewell talks. Thirty-four persons united with the church, eleven were baptized and $1,338.10 was raised. Persons were accepting Christ all day long and the last occurrence in the old church, just before the benediction was pronounced, was the coming forward of a young woman owning Jesus as her Saviour. Rev. A. Clayton Powell will preach Sunday at 11 a.m. at Palace Casino, and Rev. Arthur J. Payne will deliver the message on Sunday evening in the vestry of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 128th street and Seventh avenue. The Abyssinian choir will lead the music at both services. the opportunity to improve their conditions by entering the industries of the North and West. This condition should bring the South to a realization of the value of the Negro as an industrial asset. Competition between the various sections for black labor, should increase the capacity of the wage earners and better their conditions of living. HARVARD LOSES ITS BEARINGS. (From New York World). Under Charles W. Eliot Harvard never had a race issue. Under A. Lawrence Lowell it has had two race issues in one year. When the so-called Jewish question was raised last Spring it was asserted that it was the result of an increase in the number of Jewish immigrants. Now there is a Negro issue at Harvard. It concerns one Negro, the son of a well known Harvard graduate. There has been on Negro immigration. What there has been at Harvard is a change of soul at the top. That change of soul has communicated itself to the university. In the place of Eliot, who embodied the stern but liberal virtue of New England, there alta a man who has lost his grip on the great tradition which made Harvard one of the true spiritual centres of American life. Harvard, with the prejudices of a summer hotel; Harvard, with the standards of a country club, is not the Harvard of her greatest sons. It is not the Harvard of Eliot or Edwardson or William James, a training-ground of free men in a Republic. It is not the Harvard of its most loyal graduates but a Harvard temporarily at sea in a disordered world. RACE PREJUDICE AT HARVARD. (From New York Globe) (From New York Globe). Rosine Conkling Bruce had much the better of the argument in his exchange with President Lowell over the question of admitting in Negro student to Harvard's freshman dormitories. Mr. Lowell comes of that family which according to Massachusetts tradition, "speaks only to the Cabots, and the Cabots speak only to God," but in his generation the Lowell passion for human freedom seems to have become automated. He denied Mr. Bruce's application for a room for his son, now a student at Phillips Exeter Academy, in order not to "compel white and colored men to room in the same building." Mr. Bruce pointedly replied that, living under the same roof compelled no social intimacy, "Scullions and thieves may sleep under the same roof with aristocrats and saints," he said, "but of social intimacy there is none unless it is voluntary on both sides." Every southern family capable of hiring servants lives under the same roof with Negroes without suffering embarrassment. Mr. Lowell referred, as he had previously, to the rising winds of race prejudice, and sought to justify his exclusion policy by his professed unwillingness to accustom existing sentiments. Yet the judgment he rendered in this case can have no other effect. The president of Harvard University has, in truth, done as much as any man to stimulate race prejudice during the last few months. First his anti-Jewish policy and now his anti-Negro decision aid neither the university nor the country. Of course race prejudice exists and it is obvious that intimacy between students, who for any reason are uncongenial, ought not to be forced by college authorities. But at the same time institutions of higher learning have an obligation to the public. Most of all, it is no part of the function of a university to fertilize the evil tendencies of the community. Harvard should confer equal opportunity upon all races and permit its students individually to choose their friends. To do less is to dishonor the fine history of the institution. HARVARD AND THE NEGRO. (From Brooklyn Daily Eagle) (From Brooklyn Daily Eagle). Blanche K. Bruce, a light mulatto, was elected United States Senator from Mississippi in 1875. When he appeared to be sworn in, his colleague, James L. Alcorn, a white planter of a South Carolina family, should by all the precedents have walked up to the bar of the Senate with him. Alcorn read his newspaper and made no move. Then Roscoe Conkling of New York, the handsomeest and most impressive of the Northern Senators, stepped quickly to Bruce's side, saying, "Pardon me, I did not see that you were without an escort," and himself presented the new Senator, later looking out for him and securing some good committee appointments for the colored man. The son of Blanche K. Bruce was named "Roscoe Conkling." The father, who was the richest man of his race in America, sent him to Harvard, where he graduated in 1902 as a Phil Beta Kappa man and class orator. Now Harvard, refuses to matriculate his son, also Roscoe Conkling Bruce. We believe it is the first time in history that any great educational institution has administered such a rebuff to a third generation colored man whose father THE DORSEY HOUSE An all year round resort.

No one who knew the Washington of the early eighties will question that the Afro-American whom President Gate field made Register of the Treasury and whose signature appeared on millions of good legal tender had cultivated, as well as money and prosequence. His care was unique. Born a slave in Virginia, he was made as a little child the personal servant of a boy of his own age and was allowed to learn from tutors precisely what his young master learned. He had personal grace and personal stature. In a very few years and in the disturbed reconstruction period he had made a fortune as a cotton planter in Mississippi. We are not surprised that Moorfield and a dozen other alumni are protesting firmly, even bitterly, the course of the Lowell administration at Harvard. Some of these, like Moorfield, have a great gift for politics, but they can hardly excel Roosevelt Conflicts Brush. The latter's language as quoted speaks for itself. The reflection that its body, biting satire comes from a man in whose veins the blood is fifteen-sixteenth Caucasian only suggests additional complications of a question already complicated enough; also the thought that the traditions of Harvard have not limited her welcometo even half-Caucasian colored men. Likewise a recurrence to that outburst of John Albion Andrew, the Civil-War Governor of Massachusetts, a Bowdow man: "I know not what record of sin awaits me in the other world, but this I do know, that I was never so mean as to despise any man because he was poor, because he was ignorant or because he was black." ANCIENT CIVILIZATION. From The New York Evening Mail. An obelisk weighing more than 1,100 tons has been found in Egypt. It 133 feet long and 14 feet wide at the base, cut out of solid granite. The recent discoveries in Egypt add to the wonder of how ancient Egyptians with the tools and facilities at their command were able to accomplish what they did. Four thousand years ago, when so far as is known, there was no power, machinery, no derricks, cranes or artificial - power, the Egyptians built, the pyramids, which are more massive than any modern structure. They excavated tombs in the solid rock of a size as large as some audience halls. They evidently had some means of moving a block of stone more than 1,000 feet long and weighing more than 1,000 tons by man power. No mechanical drills are found in the ruins of the quarries from which these immense stones were taken to be transported miles. There are no traces of any vehicles which would bear a fraction of their weight. There is evidence of the existence of ropes, rollers and levers, but hardly a trace of any metal tool of any kind. No motor trucks or railroad cars in modern use could transport this obelisk. It would take a specially constructed derrick or crane or series of derricks and cranes to life it. Yet the Egyptians transported such huge blocks of stone many miles. The Egyptians apparently were skilled astronomers without the astronomical instruments which modern astronomers deem indispensable. They made wonderful glass and pottery, which modern glass-makers and pottery cannot reproduce with all their invasions and skill. It is to be hoped that some archaeologist will find out how they did it. ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Creets Gas, Sourness and Pain How To Treat. Medical authorities state that rarely nine-tenths of the cases of stomach bleaching, indigestion, sourness, burnish, blossoming, mansen, etc., are due to excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach listing is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sour, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggrist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder, or tablet, form—never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.
