(By LESTER A. WALTON) Twenty-three Negroes sat in the Halls of Congress between 1870 and 1901. Two were United States Senators. Twenty-one were members of the House of Representatives. Numerous election contests brought by Negroes charging fraud and collusion were heard by various Congressmen. Contested Elections. Not infrequently the contestants were awarded salaries for a full term but denied a seat. P. B. S. Pinchback: at one time Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana, met with this experience after waging a long but losing fight for admission to the United States Senate. Two of the charges preferred against him were that he played poker and drank whiskey. The Negroes abstained seat two Negroes to the United States Senate. They were Hiram R. Revela, who filled an unexpired term from 1870 to 1871, and Blanche K. Bruce, member of the Upper House from 1875 to 1881. The Negro Representatives were: Richard H. Cain, S.

(By CHARLES E. HALL). Washington. D. C.-For a second time in less than two years the call of industry has been heard in every hamlet and in every cross road by the large earners of our group, and they are hurrying from every direction by the thousands to accept employment in productive industries of the country. They are again being given oppor-tentities that were closed to them prior to the World's War, but in which they shared and generally made good doing that conflict of arms, conflict that awakened this nation to its domestic responsibilities its ideals through Congre-sional legislation restricting the flow of European immigration to 37,016 females. In the transportation service of the county, which includes water, railroad, express, road and street facilities there was an increase of 56,452 in the number of persons employed. Those engaged in trade in all capacities from bankers to meat cutters increased by nearly 21,000. There was an increase of 17,425, including 5,160 in the number engage-ing the professional occupations, and in the professional service there was an increase of 12,938, of whom 9,623 or nearly three-fourths were females. The only general classi-ation that showed a net loss was domestic and personal service, and although there was an increase of 5,134 males, the decrease of 62,726 females As a general proposition, the fact that we did "make good" in industry during the war cannot be denied, but if proof is necessary one needs only to constate the U. S. Census occupation statistics taken January 1, 1920. As this was about fifteen months after the signing of the Armistice and at a time when the unemployment situation was acute, a brief comparison for the purpose of indicating gains in industry over previous census figures in the year 1910 will be both instructive and informative.

Before graduation a considerable number had held political office, Cain, DeLarge, Elliott and Rainey had been members of the South Carolina Constitutional Convention in 1868. Cain and Rainey had served as State Senators. Ranier had been Lieutenant Governor, Elliott on Adjutant General and Smalls a Brigadier and Major General of the State Militia, also State Senator for the Upper House that had been the Governor of the Lower House of the South Carolina Legislature for four terms and one in the Senate. Had Held Office. The three Negro Congressmen from Alabama had previously served in both branches of the State Legislature. Turner also had been a City Councilman of Selma and Tax Collector of Dallas County. Senator Revela had held local offices in Vicksburg and Senator Bruce had distinguished himself as a clerk, a member of the Mississippi Lawyer Board and a Collector of the Bobby Johnson R. Lynch had been Speaker of the Mississippi Legislature and a Justice of the Peace. Forty-odd years ago the advisability of granting amnesty to Confederates who had been deemed ineligible to vote, and hold office by the Federal Government was a subject of acrimonious and interesting debate in which New Congressmen appealed to the appropriate positions they took on this important question is authenticated by The Congressional Record and its predecessor, The Congressional Globe. Congressman Jefferson F.

Senator Revela favored removal of disabilities upon such of the severest cases passed by the South as fast as evidence of having become loyal to the United States. In the United States Senate he is quoted by The Congressional Globe as having made the following statement in the 41st Congress, second session: Favored Political Amendments. "In regard to the State of Mississippi, I have this to say: The Republican (Continued on Second Page) 5,389 Negro on Labor Industry Show Increases Which Total More Than 30,000 in Clerical ual Occupations.

In the transportation service of the county, which includes winter, railroad express, and military duties, there was an increase of 56,452 in the number of persons employed. Those engaged in trade in all capacities from bankers to meat cutters increased by nearly 21,000. There was an increase of 17,675, in including 5,169 females, in the number engaged in clerical occupations, and in the professional service, of which substantial increase of 12,938, of whom 502 or nearly three-fourths were males. The only general classification that showed a net loss was domestic and personal service, and although there was an increase of 5,134 males, the decrease of 62,726 females gave a net loss of 57,641. The decrease of female domestics was more than offset by their employment in increased number of factories, including and commercial industries, in pro- spective and clerical occupations, and in trade and transportation. While it is improbable that this increase of 305,815 gainfully employed persons, which does not include those in agricultural and mining parishes, survived the industrial depression that prevailed during 1920, 1921, and several months in 1922, the fact that they were still employed fifteen months subsequent to the signing of the Armistice indicates that they were not the first to be emmended from the pay rolls, and NEW YORK, N.

Founded 115 years ago, on Worth street, Abyssinian stood in the forefront of N A roster of its former pastor and powerful figures in the Founded 115 years ago, its first building being located on Worth street, Abyssinian Baptist Church has always stood in the forefront of New York's religious agencies. A roster of its former pastors would include some notable and powerful figures in the Baptist denomination. But its history for the past fifteen years, covering the opening years of the second century of its existence, happen to be coincident with the pastorate of its present minister, the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, who came to this church from the Immanuel Baptist Church, New Haven, Conn., in 1908. Abyssinian Church at that time was located on West 40th street, between 7th and 8th avenues. And it was this location that the church, under Pastor Powell, took on power and influence to a degree hitherto unattained, the membership steadily increasing, the financial strength growing, and its spiritual development keeping pace with the physical advancement. Finally, Abyssinian Church, as had other religious organizations, found that the upton migration, while not particularly affecting the size of the congregations, made the downtown location more and more inconvenient to a large part of the membership. Then there was the need for expansion in the way of stating facilities, for the 40th street building was seldom commodious enough to accommodate the congregations.

Caloum, was present, and a special sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mr. Olivet Baptist Church. A large number of Mr. Olivet's members were present. At close of the sermon, the entire congregation was invited to the lecture room, where light refreshments were and the program, including silos, quartets and quintets, closing with an address by Rev W. M. Singleton of Peckskill, who was present with Mrs. Sinetelon, who presented Pastor Sims with a big birthday cake.

At the Sunday morning service on April 29, Pastor Sims expressed thanks and appreciative to all of his members and friends. NEW YORK PREACHERS OBJECT TO PROPOSED SCHOOL IN PUTMAN CO. The Interdenominational Preacher's Meeting of New York and vicinity named a committee to consider the establishing of a state school in Potnam County, N.Y. under the terms of a bill introduced in the State Legislature by Representative Russell of Brooklyn. This committee, composed of Rev. J. W. Brown, chairman; with Revs. W. C. Brown, N. A. Holmes, F. A. Cullen, and R. M. Bolden, replaced di-appeal of the proposed school for three reasons: 1. It has the carmarks of segregation; 2. Draws the color line; 3. Promotes unjust discrimination against our youth. These objections were set forth in a letter addressed to II. Edmund Macchold, Speaker of the Assembly, protesting the attempted passage of the bill. If the letter, attention was called to the fact that mixed schools in the State offer the same advantages and privileges, the same equipment and efficiency, as are proposed in this school. Speaker Macchold was asked to use his influence against the bill.

But its history for the past fifteen years, covering the years of the second century of its existence, happens to be coincident with the pastorate of its present minister, the Rev. Dr. A.Clayton Powell, who came to this church in Immunebased Church, New Haven, Gen., in 1908. Abyssinian Church at that time was located on West 40th street, between 7th and 8th avenues. And it was this location that the church, under Pastor Powell, took on power and influence to a degree hitherto unattained, the membership steadily increasing, the financial strength growing, and the development keeping pace with the physical environment. Finally, Abyssinian Church, as had other religious organizations, found that the uptown migration, while not particularly affecting the size of the congregations, made the downtown location more and more inconvenient to a large part of the membership. Then there was need for accommodation of seating facilities, for the 40th street building was seldom commodious enough to accommodate the congregations. The surrounding neighborhood changed its character, becoming more and more given over to business, with a gradual passing away of the residential atmosphere. A larger and more modern edifice on the property, which planned to be formed and lines laid looking to the meeting of this condition. Revolutionary Methods Adopted Dr. Powell and his officers were fortunate in having a group of capable energetic auxiliaries, eighteen in all, each of which united in a joint campaign to secure funds with which the upown move could be made. It was not until the financial crisis raised money would be discarded. What appeared to be extremely radical and revolutionary, as compared with ordinary church financial campaign, was the course finally adopted. No rallies were conducted, or entertainments given. Instead, it was decided that the people would be asked for direct contributions, and that the church would be amazing. A pledge system was established, by which individuals of the congregations affiliated with the various auxiliaries, or acting independently, subscribed certain sums, payments to be made monthly, the total aggregating a staggering amount. As a result of this plan, Abyssinian's financial condition is most satisfied. The churches decided to move from 49th street to the Harlem section, and in accordance with that decision, a site located on 15th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues, was secured. On this site there has been erected a magnum church edifice, now almost completed, representing what is said to be the most modern and costly house of the church in America by a dedicated church edifice. Fronting on 11th street, a stately edifice has been erected during the past year, and on Sunday, February 25, the congregation was given access to the lee-room and the service. The new church home represents the total cost of $25,000, including the furnishings, and it is a most unusual condition that there has already been paid a total of $257,203.04 of this amount. There is no mortgage or Hen of any sort on land or buildings. The amount not paid represents a balance on the uncompleted structure. Windows Made in England There is a total seating capacity of approximately 3,000, the main auditorium accommodating some 2,000, while the lecture room seats another 1,000. The pulpit platform is of Italian marble, chateau and classic in design, and an attractive feature of the building. The main dwellings are a distinct, the general design, having been executed by the Castle-London Co, from original patterns, several of them having been built in England specially for the Abyssinian contract. The organ installed has been built for Abyssinian Church by the M. P. Molker Organ Co. of Hagerstown, Md., and it is one of the most modern in the city. It is a 3-manual instrument, with a full set of 21 chimes. Various of the city organists will demonstrate this instrument, using the dedication service which are scheduled for June 20, to June 17, and a special dedicatory program is being arranged for Monday evening, June 11, by Dr. Powell, on which occasion one of the greatest of American organists will play a recital. Included in the facilities provided for in this new building is a position devoted to community service. Here there is to be a gymnasium, shower, bath reading rooms, rooms for teaching, teaching and sewing, a model apartment, fully furnished and equipped, and a road garden.

Dr. Powell is a native of Virginia, having been born in Franklin County on May 5, 1865. His parents moved to Ananahaw County, West Virginia, ten years later, afterwards going to Ohio, on his twentieth year he was converted and joined the First Baptist Church,endville, O. Originally intending to study law, he be changed his mind and took up the ministry, graduating from Virginia Union University, Richmond, and spending two years at Yale Divinity School, New Haven, Conn. He was ordained to the ministry in 1892 at Washington, and his first pastorate was at an Diego, Calif. Then he was called Philadelphia, staying one year before being called to New Haven. During his stay of fifteen years, six months, at Immanuel Baptist Church, New Haven, the membership increased 50 per cent, $10,000 was spent in remodelling the building, and additional property was purchased as an investment. Then came the call to New York to the Abyssinian congregation, in 1888, fifteen years ago. During his tenure, Dr. Bohill pastoral administration the church has more than $4,0,000. The present treasurer, William H. Marlow, has served once July 1, 1911, and his reports to May 1, 1923, show that he has had in the church treasury the total sum of $531,689.29 Thousands Given to Charity. o'- In addition to the purely religious aspect of its work, Abysiania Church under Dr. Powell has contributed an average of $2,000 annually to the charitable and social welfare service organizations of the city. The church membership at present numbers 3,417, not understanding that a revising of the church bills in 1921 resulted in the dropping of 500 names. More than three thousand have joined under the present administration. In spite of the demands upon his time, Dr. Powell has always interested himself in the activities of his social welfare and fraternal life of the race. He is a Mason (33), Odd fellow, and Pythian, and is actively connected with the National Urban League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He a trustee of Virginia Seminary and the National Training School for Girls, director of the White Rose House, and judge of the Downington School. Thirty-four years ago, while yet a student, young Powell was married to Miss Mattie Fletcher Shafer of Pratt, West Virginia, and much of his success has been due to the constant inspiration which she has furnished. Their marriage has been blessed with two children, trs. Blanche Fletcher King and A. Dayton, junior. They reside at 227 West 136th street.

WOMEN'S CLUB OF NORTH CAROLINA TO BUILD GIRLS' HOME Widow of Late Governor Is Chairman of Board of Trustees of Proposed Home. (Appointed To The New York Age) Greenwich, N. C. The fourteenth annual meeting of the Federation of Coastal World's Club was in session with the Ladies Club and the Warrenville League of Women of this city at St. James Presbyterian Church, Rev. Byrd Smith, pastor, April 27, 28, 29. The meeting opened at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, with the registration of fifty delegates, representing as many clubs. The state objective is an industrial home for delinquent girls to be located on a 150-acre tract of land near Eland, Orange County, N. C. Mrs. T. W. Bickett is chairman of the board of trustees, and Mrs. Glancee Johnson, commissioner, is an honorary trustee. The plans for the Home were discussed as follows: (a) Conditions of land; (b) building plan; (c) campaign for 1923; (d) superintendent. A button campaign for 1923 was launched to raise $1,000. Several committees were appointed after which luncheon was served at Stewart's Palace of Sweets, the Ladies Art Club, hostess. At the afternoon session the reports of the clubs were taken. The first public meeting was held Friday evening at which time were made addresses of welcome on behalf of the clubs by Mrs. W. N. Nelson, president of the Ladies Art Club; on behalf of the churches by Rev. Byrd Smith, pastor of the St. James Presbyterian Church; on behalf of the schools by Dr. Frank Trigg, president of Bennett College and on behalf of the White Women's Clubs of Greenville by Mrs. E. A. Shenk. Mrs. Maggie Jones of Asheville, N. C., responded very beautifully to these addresses. Dr. W. G. Pearson of Durham, special treasurer of the Industrial Home Fund for Delinquent Girls, expressed himself as being much pleased with the steps the clubs are taking for. "The Industrial Home for Delinquent Girls." The program was interpersped with soka by Mrs. E. H. Brice of Sedalia and Mrs. Nell Hunter of Durham, N. C.

Pearson, retainer; Mrs. Maud B. Cotton, Henderson, treasurer; Mrs. M. S. Pearson, Durham, chairman executive committee; Mrs. Lula Kelsey, editor; Mrs. L. V. Mebane, state organizer. * The convention will meet at Ashville next year. An interesting discussion was entered into by representatives of the clubs. The discussion was dealt with as follows: 1, the Day Nursery; 2, the public school; 3, recreation for young people; 4, hospitality for the community; 5, the community center; 6, the industrial conditions of our women workers. The president of the Federation, Mrs. C. H. Brown, urged every club to adopt some special program for local work. On Saturday afternoon, after a trip of sight-seeing over the city, the delegates were dinner guests of the president at Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, after which followed a reception given by the Ladies Art Club and the Warnesville League of Women of Greenboro. The Federation closed with a mass meeting at the Grand Theatre on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The speaker was Mrs. T. W. Bickett, chairman of the board of trustees of the Industrial Home for Colored Girl's. Mrs. Bickett's talk was practical and impressive. She stressed the need of every one having a home. She left with a heartfelt apology for my race, whether white or black, depends upon the kind of homes from which the members of these races come. She said we need homes where children are given the right kind of training that will make them factors in all that tends to purify, uplift and make them benefactors in this commonwealth of ours. Above all, she said, we need homes where God is reverenced and feared. Mrs. Brough, president of the Federation, and principal of Palmer Memorial Institute, presided over the meeting. Mrs. Brown, in introducing Mrs. Bickett, presented to her in the name of the Federation a basket of beautiful red carnations, which Mrs. Bickett appreciated very much. After Mrs. Bickett's address, Mrs. Brown made an appeal on behalf of the Industrials Home Co. of Girls Even through the attendance this meeting was comparatively small, the contribution towards the home was $134. The men of Greenboro responded to the call for help in putting over the state objective by giving $5 and $10 bills. Mrs. Maude Brooks-Corton of Henderson, N. C., presented to Mrs. C. H. Brown, in behalf of the Federation, a basket of pink carnations. The amount is paid by the district for the Industrial Home amounted to about $2,000. Greenboro entertained the Federation royally. Regular attendants of the Federation say, "Greenboro went over the top in every way." The business men and professional men of the city did much toward making the Federation a success by giving the use of their cars the right to drive. The slogan until this time next year will be "All to Asheville." Mrs. E. H. Skice and Mrs. Nell Hunter sang solos. The Gothic chorus and two quartets from Greenboro gave renditions. Heward Relay Team Makes Good Showing at U. of P. Washington, D. C.—In the University of Pennsylvania Riley Carnival, held at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, on April 27, the relay team from Howard, composed of Robinson, Craft, Bright and Bridge, made a fine showing, and run second to Bates College in the 1-mile college relay event. Robinson, author for Howard, finished a yard behind Bates' anchor, the race being run in 3:26, second fastest time made during the meet. that their work was satisfactory. The worker of average intelligence knows that the insufficient ones are always the first to be dragged from the company roll, and that in this class are the men who fail to make time in the morning; the fellows who insist upon attending every funeral, and those who waste raw material and waste power while running around the shop telling their companions about the crime they committed. Katy preached last night in the $500.00 Supplet or Right \ Methodist Church or about the "first words" spoken by late and lamented lodge brother. These time killers do not seem to realize that the company that employees them is selling their products in competitive marketing and then every idle moment spends in "shop visiting" adds to the cost of production and delays the delivery of the finished product upon which she also and regularity of their wages depends. If the ministers and welfare associations will drill this into the minds of the new-corner there will be no doubt about the permanency of their jobs and the continuance of the restriction upon foreign immigration, which if resumed will send many of our workers back to the cotton fields of the South. The manufacturer wants dividends upon his invested capital and the only way he can get them is through quantity and quality production. If our men make good on the job there will be more opportunities for our females in the manufacturing and mechanical industries, but if they fail to get the economic progress of the entire race. Giving efficient service in industry, however, depends largely upon comfortable sleeping quarters, and if the colored citizens who reside in the industrial centers will appoint committees to investigate, and, whenever possible, routily unfavorable, conditions, many of the better class of migrants will become permanent and useful citizens. The most serious complaining at the present time appears to be the activities of the "church builders" who are more interested in conducting "drives" for the purpose of building costly places of worship than the are in providing adequate housing facilities for the newcomers. Their workers require bodily comforts nightly, rather than spiritual comforts in the near or remote future, and if would be quite consistent to call off a few of these many financial church drives until the men get decent places in which to live and until they make permanent pay roll connections. Churches are not lodging houses, and men will not remain on a job longer than one pay day if they can find no comfortable place to rest after a day of hard work. Buy or build boarding houses not churches if you really wish to help the strangers. Capacity Audience at Hope Day Nursery Show The twenty-first annual May entertainment of the Hope Day Nursery was given before a capacity audience at the New Star Casino on Friday night, May 4.

Schools Hold Commencement Exercises at A. & T. College. (By CHAR. H. MOORE.) Greenboro, N. C.-Bennett College, a few days ago, extended an invitation to the public to be present to witness ground breaking for a new academic building on Sunday, April 29, at 3:30 p.m. The exercises took place first in the college chapel and subsequently closed on the campus. President Frank Trigge presented to the audience the secretaries of the board of education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church, P. J. Maneyt and K. Garland Penn. Over the secretaries respectively had outlined the program, which the board of education has designed for the physical equipment of the schools under their control. Dr. Penn introduced the Rev. S. A. Pecker, president of the local board of trustees, to welcome the church officials and visitors on this occasion. After the address of welcome, Secretary Penn next introduced the speakers in the following order: Drs. John L. Seaton, supervisor of schools of the board; H. C. Minnich, dean of the faculty of Miami University, Oxford, O.; Thomas L. Holgate, dean of the faculty, Northwestern University, Evansport, ILL, each of whom made short addresses, in which they gave encouraging, helpful and inspiring information and outlook, so far as the Methodist Epistol Church's interest in the welfare and advancement of its Negro membership is concerned. When the literary program in the chapel was completed, the audience reported to the campus, where the ground for new buildings was laid by the two secretaries of the board of education, the president, the trustees present, a member of the faculty and physician of the school. The new building is to be 100 feet long, 50 feet wide and three stories high, modernly equipped, creating $50,000. Within the past year the Methodist Episcopal Church has placed on the grounds of Bennett College, in addition to four others already there, two modern buildings, viz: a dormitory for the girls, which cost $0,000 and a refectory, $25,000, and it does not yet appear what the end shall be. The commencement exercises of the colored schools of Guilford county were held Saturday, April 24, at the A. & T. College. The program consisted of a variety of theatrical productions, athletic physical exercises, industrial display, etc. At the close remarks were made by members of the county board of education, headed by Superintendent T. R. Foust. The graduates from the 7th grade acquitted themselves exceedingly well. Two contestants from the State A. & M. College at Orangeburg, S. C. crossed swords with a similar number here recently from the A- & T. College in a debate on the subject: "Resolved. That the United States should grant immediate independence to the Philippine Islands." The affirmative was represented by the "Tar Heels," the negative by the "Talamato" boys. The question was warmly contested, but the Judges decided by two to one that the A. & T. boys had the best of the debate. After the contest, Professor B. Dudley entertained the visiting students and Prof. Williamson, who accompanied them, in their beautiful home. To assist in the reception quite a number of teachers, together with their wives and a few outsiders, were invited to be present. The social intercourse, interpersed with music, and the serving of delightful refreshments at the close, made the evening one pleasant to recall. J. C. Smith University.

B NEGRO RACE HAS HAD 21 CONGRESS- MEN, 2 SENATORS (Continued from First Page) Party now dominating there pledged itself to universal amnesty. That was in the platform; these apathetic pledged themselves to it and the Legislature redeemed the pledge, unanimously adopting a resolution asking Congress to remove the political disabilities of all the citizens of Mississippi, which resolution they placed in my hands and made it my duty to present here, and which I have presented. "Now I can say more. I believe, for the State of Mississippi than I can say for any other of the lately intranscriptionary States. I do not know of one State that is altogether as well reconstructed as Mississippi is. $ ^{*} $ . $ ^{*} $ The pleasantly, harmoniously, prosperously as the people in any of the former free States. I think this is the case. I do not think my statement exaggerates anything at all. Now, Sir, I hope that I am understood. I am in favor of amnesty in Mississippi. We pledged ourselves to it. The State is for it." The impassioned speech of Congressman Elliott against amnesty is said to have had a direct bearing on the measure's defeat in the Forty-second Congress. He contended that the men seeking relief were responsible for the crimes perpetrated against the loyal men of the South, and that the passage of such a bill would be necessary for payment on disorderly and treason at the expense of those who had remained loyal. In the name of the law-abiding people of this constituency, white and colored, he asked the rejection of the bill and the protection of those whose only offense was adherence to the principles of freedom and justice. One of the best speeches made in the United States Senate by Blanche K. Colored Old Folk's Home Conducted at Wilmington Wilmington, N. C.—The colored people of this city are very creditably conducting an Old Foleys Home, where the infirm and aged are accommodated without outrage; and in this they have the assistance of some of the liberal white people of the community, and there are several such. They are also supporting, with aid from the same class of whites, a successful Community Hospital, where colored physicians get the advantages denied them in the white hospitals, and where much free work is done. T. H. Hooper, for years the foreman at a local humber yard, has opened a grocery business on Red Cross street, and is receiving a liberal patronage from his people, but not such as he deserves. This store is the equal of many of the white stores in point of stock carried, appointments and in every way. Mr. Hooper is polite and obliging, assets in any kind of business. Shell Island, near Washington, on the ocean front, is being developed into a high-class and exclusive colored summer resort, and electric lights, water, newage and telephones will be installed immediately. A $15,000 pavilion is nearing completion. Thomas K. Knight of New York City has been called to the city to become general manager, and concessions will be sold only to colored people. Mr. Knight in the man, who it's believed, can bring success to this new endeavor. He occupied the unique pointerence if in the possibility of humanization before the World War of being the only colored man in complete control of a big railroad company's excursion business, using his own discretion as to what would best conserve the company's financial interest in his line. NATURAL HAIR WIGS NATURAL HAIR WIGS SWITCHES, TRANSFORMATIONS, CURLS, CLUSTER PUFFS, HAIR NETS, STRAIGHTENING COMBS, AND EVERYTHING IN HAIR GOODS. WIGS MADE TO YOUR MEASURE For Catalog Sent to Out-of-Town Patrons on Friday Alex. Marks Bruce was during the session of the Forty-fourth Congress on Civil Rights for the Negro. He said the thing needed in the South was peace and good order, but it could come only by the full recognition of the rights of all classes. The opposition, he said, would have to concede the necessity of change, not only in the temper, but in the philosophy of their party organization and management; that the sober American judgment would have to obtain in the United States and elsewhere in the Republic, since the only distinction upon which parties can be safely organized in harmony with our institutions are differences of opinion relative to principles and policy of government; because differences of religion, nationality, race can neither with safety nor propriety be permitted to enter into party contests. Senator Bruce argued that the unanimity with which Negro voters acted with a party was not referable to any race prejudice. On the contrary, Negroes invited the political co-operation of their white brethren, and voted as a unit because prescribed as such; that they depended the establishment of a color line by the opposition, not only because the act was unequivocal, but because it isolated them from the white man of the South and forced them in sheer self-protection and against their inclination to act seemingly upon the basis of race prejudice which they neither respected nor entertained. As a class the Senator said he believed Negroes were free from prejudices and had no uncharitable suspicions against their white fellow citizens, whether native born or settlers from the Northern States. He concluded his speech by saying when Negroes can entertain opinions and select party affiliations without proscription, and cast their ballots as other citizens and without jeopardy to person or privilege, they can safely afford to be governed by the considerations that ordinarily determine the political actions of other American citizens. Interested in Public Weal While deeply concerned over issues vitally affecting their race, Negro Congressmen also manifested great interest in the passage of measures which meant for public welfare. They fathered bill for the erection of public buildings, improvements of rivers and harbors. Congressman Rapier of Alabama, had a law passed making Montgomery a port of entry. Negro Congressmen always supported this provision for the education of white and African people. Walls of Florida wanted Congress to pass a law establishing a National Education Fund. Replying to Meistery of Georgia, who objected to the plan on which grounds that it interfered with States' rights, Walls admitted, according to records of Congress, that the Constitution of the United States confers upon the States all those rights, neither expressly delegated to the Federal Government nor prohibited to the States, and that one of those rights is the power of regulating common schools. He doubted however if such a principle could be rightly applied to the matter under discussion, declaring that the enemies of progress in the South opposed the education of the masses both of black and white owing to its tendency to liberalize. The following statement appears in --- Saturday, May 29, 1923. "The Negro in Our History" "Me Negroes who have served the came out of office with honor.

He died in 1917. With the commitment by Southern Legislatures of the Grandmaster Cause and other measures designed to deter colored voters, the Negro Congress seemed to be a reality. The policy of sending white men to Washington in sections known as the "Black Fork" was imprinted and has remained in force. In Mississippi and South Carolina where Negro customers the white population the former have no any in the making and execution of the laws whatsoever. During the entire period when first was Negro representation in Congress the vote of this contingent was still a point of numbers and its influence paratively negligible. In no way did the Negro Congressman a member did he organize blocks to ensure favorable legislation for his group. While the Negro race in America has made unprecedented progress in education, religion, business and in amusing wealth and property, it has steadily prestige politically. This fimbriary retrogression has been a paradox in representative government; for although representing one-tenth of the National population and paying millions of dollars in taxes not one Negro this is Congress. In a government of the people by the people such as anarchy becomes more patient when it is recalled that "fascism without representation is tyranny" was the "bibblooth that fired our coins to strike for independence and the setting up of a true democracy.

RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION. The recent law restricting foreign immigration to this country, which is credited with causing the present labor shortage in some of the industries of the North, has attracted severe criticism among certain employers of labor. Especially in its comments on this law is the New York Herald, an able and a exponent of the capitalist forces in a recent editorial this paper characterized the law shortage as "unnatural" and caused by a imperial immigration law" which creates a situation "disturbing to the real advantage of the South." The distilling element in this animation, according to the *Herald* writer, is the fact that Southern Negroes are again on the move toward Northern jails. It instances as proof of this movement the assertion that thirty-two thousand field hands have left Georgia since last summer and that at that rate the city has lost some 200,000 laborers. It is stated that there are approximately 1,000,000 Negro males between 18 and 44 years of age living in the city. Because of the Negro's willingness to work and as the *Herald* puts it, "the Negro constitutes a labor pool in which industry draws in busy times by means of labor wages." This movement is supported by the Herald because it involves a heavy blow at an election in production, the result being that voters in a region must be dated and with proper prosecution as Negro labor leaves the fields. This original result of Negro migration has been repeatedly pointed out in the columns of Turt. And during the past two years in discovering this movement and its effect, Moreover, the Herald does not agree with the statement so gladly made by the editor of the Columbia state that "the South can and will withdraw white labor superior to them" within the time that would be required to lift them to a place in which they would be worth much better wages in the South. On the other hand, the Herod is of the opinion that there is no chance to substitute other labor, because the climate in the best cost in growing areas prohibits white men from to be treated field work." The result would be the stimulation of cotton growing in Egypt and other cotton growing countries. Another disturbing figure of the shift in the Negro population is that the North is that it intensifies the housing problem in Northern cities. This, together with the fact that the men commute the women in the number of migrants, causes the Herod to look with greater disfavor on the movement. The fact is that both these conditions may prove to be of a temporary character. The necessity of providing proper housing for the newcomers is one of the conditions that must be met in coping with this movement. The other point will be solved by the fact that as seen as the men who come North have secured a permanent job, they tend for the womenfolk whom they were forced to leave behind. Not all the critics of restricted immigration are so uncompromising as the Herodias, and certain large employers who seek cheap labor, are advocating the appeal of the law. We must Prest G. Warren, agricultural economist, in the American Journalism, declaring that indiscriminate immigration would break the labor market and work to the disadvantage of the farmer. He further claimed that the present law had improved the quality of the foreigners who enter the country. One point that seems to be overlooked by most of the editors and experts who discuss the Southern migration movement is that it is not high wages alone that is drawing the Negro from the South. The untouchable conditions of prenage in Georgia, unfortunate convert labor for petty offences or on trumped top charges in Florida, and the infamous robbery of tenant farmers under the crop sharing system in Arkansas, all these are drawing the Negros from their old homes. A dispatch from Little Rock said that the most serious labor shortage in the history of the State confronted Arkansas farmers, due to the exclusion of Negro farm labor. Whole families are soiled to have moved off the farms in the last few weeks. In a review of the increase of Negro labor in industry, printed in another part of this week's issue, Charles E. Hall shows that as a general proposition the Negro has "made good" since he has gained an opening in Northern industry. The proof of this was given in the census returns of 1920, which showed an increase of over 300,000 employees of the race in manufacturing and mechanical industries, transportation, trade and clinical occupations and in professional service. The only decrease was shown in the number of females in domestic and personal service. The suggestion of the Herald that the agricultural South should join the industrial North in working for the repeal of the three per cent. quota act is to say the least ill-advised. The interests of the two sections in this matter are not identical. The editor of the Columbia State came nearer to sizing up the situation when he said, 'the restrictions on immigration are excellent for the white South in that they open the road to Negro employment in the North—and they are no less as excellent for the Negroes.' If the Herald desires to drive the best interests of the South, it should advise it to put its house in order. WHAT ASSIMILATION MEANS. In the course of a somewhat bitter and disgruntled editorial on the movement of Southern Negroes toward the North, the New York Herald expressed this opinion. Short of admitting more attabied white men from Europe, there is no shutting off the current that roils the South of native labor without permanently benefiting the North. Given a chance, the North can find more assimilable neighbors in Europe than in North Carolina or Georgia. The flippant editorial writer who wrote the above lines should look up the meaning of the term "assimilable." In its ordinary use it means capable of becoming similar or like, of conforming or adapting oneself to surrounding conditions. More particularly in physiology it conveys the idea of the conversion or incorporation of matricial material into the fluid or substance of the body. Now, when the term assimilate is used in relation to the races, it is not necessarily a physiological act like intermarriage, that is involved. It is primarily and purely a psychological act that is one involving the intellectual mental machinery of the participants. This country has been strained to the utmost to receive and assimilate the various European strains that have been injected into the lifehood of the nation. How far the effort to develop 100 per cent. Americanism among them had fallen short of success was shown during the World War and in the recent trial of the leaders of the Communist movement in Michigan. The pacifist and revolutionary movements have been supported by malecontents imported from Europe. On the other hand the black workers of North Carolina and Georgia, and other parts of the South, were among the first to volunteer for the war and enrolled to fight across the seas with cheerfulness and alacrity. Those who remained at home bought Liberty bonds and contributed to the Red Cross, while working heartily in munion plants and other war activities. The women did their part as well in all branches of home service and the only thing that kept them from crossing the seas was the refusal of the government to accept them as nurses. As a soldier and as a citizen the Negro proved that he was in every way assimilable as a full fledged American. There was no divided allegiance on his part; no doubt as to whether another land or another flag had a prior claim to his fidelity. Neither does the Negro take any orders from the Third International or from the Communist party leaders. As to the possibility of acquiring more efficient laborers in his part that is doubtful in the class of industrial labor at least. Those employers who have fried black American labor from the South seem to have found it satisfactory. As a capitalist himself, the owner of the Herald should appreciate the advantage of employing American labor, rather than increasing the number of European revolutionaries now inciting to violence against capital. As amenable neighbors not given to bomb throwing or criminal syndication, the Negroes deserve a fair trial in the ranks of Northern industry. "The current threat to the South of native labor" can be treated as an act of the South ceases to rob and insult of native labor. Under the headline of "The Gang that Took the Black Dispatch" that now race journal printed a group portrait of the senior class of Douglass High School of Oklahoma City, saying: These students edited this journal this week. They selected their own news stories, arranged their own head lines, wrote every editorial, chawed proof and just about broke up the Southwest's leading journal. Don't fail to read editorials. The editorials were well written and included such live topics as: "The Problems of the Younger Generation," "Florida's Whipping Post," "Migration of the Negro from the Southland," "The Value of Education." In "An Appreciation," by Addie Story, we find this uncommon view of opportunity: "That tangible and mysterious thing called opportunity is not a stranger who comes and knocks at our door in disguise—that opportunity is just plain home folk. Opportunity is not what may come to tomorrow, but what we make out of today." THE NEW YORK AGE A NEW VIEW OF AFRICA AND AFRICANS. Ignorance regarding foreign lands and peoples is so commonplace a thing in all countries that ignorance in the United States regarding Africa should cause no astonishment. But before blaming the American public at large, the writer of these lines confesses his own ignorance of certain facts regarding that land until they were recently brought to his attention. However, he will be egotistic enough to state that if he was ignorant of them he was far from being alone in his ignorance. The facts brought out were contained in an article on "Britain's Negro Problem" printed in the April number of the "Atlantic Monthly" and written by Mr. John II. Harris, a well known English student of colonial affairs and for many years a British colonial officer in Africa. The article is so important and contains such unusual information that it would be well worth while to republish it here in full for the benefit of Age readers who might not see the "Atlantic Monthly," but the length of the article will not permit. Nevertheless, we shall reproduce here as far as we are able the more important facts. Mr. Harris starts out by referring to the great responsibility which devolves upon England of governing an area which contains more than 40,000,000 Negroes, a population, including varied tribes and languages and presenting problems of ever increasing complexity. He states that Great Britain has been spared the odium of race riots and lynching but that racial antagonism in some respects are more violent in character and in certain areas more deep-seated and the economic effect more widely distributed than in the American continent. He shows how diverse these conditions are. In one territory, white men own all the land, and the natives none at all; in another territory, the natives own all the land, and the whites can only with difficulty obtain leases; in yet another territory, the natives have the franchise, while in the adjoining territory, under the same Government, they are denied the vote; in one territory, well-to-do Negroes rejoice in luxurious motor cars, and travel where they will, while in another region, the Negro may not walk along the footpath; in one area, there are "Jim Crow" cars; in another, most Negroes ride first-class on the railways. Mr. Harris then proceeds to give a picture of the West African Dependencies—Gambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, and Nigeria—and it is this picture that makes ignorance in the United States regarding the West Coast of Africa stand out in such bold relief. We need not repeat the general opinion which people in the United States, both colored and white, have held regarding the native African of the West Coast. We need only say that it is an opinion that is not very high. In speaking of these cultures of the African Dependencies, of whom there are about 17,000,000, Mr. Harris says: "These Negroes are interely loyal to the British Government; they are now peaceful, and their attendance has become the wonder of Africans throughout the Continent." It is probable that several hundred Negroes possess regular incomes varying from $20,000 to $50,000 a year. I know one of these who made no less than $200,000 in one year!" We are quite sure that the picture of Negroes on the West Coast of Africa with incomes of $50,000 a year, riding around in Rolls Royce automobiles, is a new one. Mr. Harris goes on to show that prosperity in British West Africa is based first, upon a recognition of native land rights, and second, upon the illimitable value of the vegetable products of the soil, the two chief products being the oil palm and cocoa. It appears that the palm tree is more valuable and less trouble than a gold mine and is worthy of all the praise and worship that has been given it. Mr. Harris says it is first among the trees of Africa, first in beauty, first in utility, first in fertility. He catalogues its virtues as follows: "Is the traveller athirst and weary? her luxurious foliage gives him shelter, while from her tree-strunk pours forth a draught of foaming wine. Is the traveller without meat? then her nut-oil and palm-cabbage provide a meal fit for a sylvan prince. What will you, merchant, traveller, native? a linen-cloth, a tool, a mat, a roof, a wall, a house, a fortune, or a sylvan picture? These, and more, are to be found in the oil-palm of West Africa, and it is estimated—no numbers and proplies are these palms—that less than the per cent of the harvest is gathered today!" Mr. Harris makes the statement that the cash value of the oil palm products of West Africa represents about $50,000,000 a year, and it must be remembered that the great bulk of these oil palm products is the property of native West Africans. The second main source of Negro wealth in West Africa is cocoa. We get from Mr. Harris's article that the cocoa industry of West Africa is indeed a romance. He says that the Gold Coast Colony and Nigeria are the two British cocoa-producing areas and that the Gold Coast is the more remarkable of the two. He states that the export of cocoa from the Gold Coast began in 1891 with a single bag of beans weighing eighty pounds, but by 1903 the Colony was tenth on the list in cocoa-producing countries of the world. In 1906 it was seventh; in 1909 it was fifth, in 1911 it had assumed the world's lead, with 120,000,000 pounds, or sufficient to supply over one-third of the world's consumption. He adds that the total value of the output of cocoa from the Gold Coast alone for the years 1911-1920 was close upon $200,000,000, the whole of which has been produced by the 1,000,000 Negroes of the territory. He adds a quotation from Sir Hugh Clifford, late Governor of the Gold Coast Colony, who says When it is considered that a cultivation is in the Gold Coast and in Montana a public, public industry, that there is hardly an acre of land and a public garden in the territories under the administration of this Government this remarkable achievement of a unique position is a producer of one of the world's greatest stakes assumes, in my opinion, a special value and significance." We further learn from Mr. Harris that this great wealth enjoyed by the natives of British West Africa during the last decade has been hardly spent by parents upon the education in England of their sons and daughters. These sons have been educated at Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh and already they are in control of the legal and medical professions, own and direct the newspapers and dominate the activity of the mass of the people in all centers of local government. Mr. Harris's description of British South Africa is almost in direct contrast to that of West Africa, and yet we believe that it has been the common opinion in the United States, especially among colored people, that it was in South Africa that the Negro was more highly civilized and better off compared with the natives of West Africa. It appears that the main issue in South Africa is the land question. There the natives have been to a large extent dispossessed of the land and in this way they have been shorn of their strength, and as Mr. Harris points out, land to the native African means perhaps more than it does to any other race in the world. He points out that land to the primitive African is one of the three component parts of African social and economic life; that sun, water, land represent to the native mind not three elements but a single element, the supreme object of which is the provision of human sustenance. It thus follows that the ownership of land is nowhere vested in the individual but in the whole race inhabiting a particular area, while every member of the tribe possesses as much right to the usage of adequate land as he does in the usage of an adequate share of the earth of the sun or a draught of water from the local spring. It is a terrible crime against this principle, on which the social and economic structure of the native Africans is built, that there has been such high-handed robbery of the Africans of their lands by Europeans. Mr. Harris recites that when General Botha, the great South African statesman, became Prime Minister of South Africa, he found land-tenure in the four provinces of the Union in well-nigh hopeless confusion—whites living on native land; natives living on the land of white men. He thereupon undertook to straighten out the matter and to make a more equitable distribution. The result of his efforts was to set aside 40,000,000 acres as land which might be occupied only by Negroes and 260,000,000 acres as land which may never be leased or sold to Negroes. An idea of the crime involved in such a division can be gained from the fact that the total South African population under British rule amounts to one and a half million whites and seven million Negroes. Mr. Harris goes on to speak of industrial conditions in the Rand, that is, in the gold mine region around Johannesburg, but we have not space here to include anything he says under that head, as interesting as it is. Indeed, we have not the space because there is another bit of information which we wish to include. Mr. Harris gives a description of and some facts concerning Basutoland. We feel quite sure that not one person in a hundred knows that there is such a country, in Africa, except by name. We get from Mr. Harris's article that Basutoland is a tiny little state, the Switzerland of South Africa, measuring only 10,000 square miles, and occupied by 400,000 of the most virile and advanced natives south of the Equator. The Basutos owe their unique position to their great ruler, the late King Mosheh, easily the greatest Negro statesman that South Africa has produced. Basutoland was annexed by Britain at the request of Mosheh and stands alone in the fact that it was later disannexed and is now governed by a native Parliament. The Basuto government levies its own taxes and, in fact, performs all the functions of a modern administration. White men are permitted to visit Basutoland and in some cases reside within the territory, but none may own land. The population has increased, within one hundred years from 40,000 to 400,000, and at least 50,000 Basutos go out every year to fill various positions in South Africa. The Basutos show their interest in education by taxing their people for educational purposes more heavily than any other province in South Africa, as the following figures demonstrate: Cape Colony spends $3.50 per capita; Natal spends nearly $4.00; the Transvaal, $4.50; Orange Free State, $2.00; Basutoland, $5.00. Basutoland alone, among the African governments, has no national debts but has lent her budget surplus to every other government in South Africa. The information in this article of Mr. Harris's is rather a blow to the egotism of those who wish to go over to save and redeem the Africans. It may be that the day is not far-off when the new Negroes' of Africa will be demanding that their blood brothers in the United States be treated with absolute fairness and justice. REPEALING A DEAD LAW. The action of the New York Legislature in the last hours of the session, in passing a bill to repeal the Mullen-Gage liquor enforcement act, has been widely trailed as a wet victory. Nevertheless, the provisions of the Volstead act will remain in force in New York State, even if the repeal of the State law is signed by Governor Smith, after the hearing set for the week of May 21. But aside from the moral effect of the repeal, in lessening the activities of the State authorities in liquor cases, the wiping out of the Mullen-Gage law cannot be counted as of much importance. It was practically a dead letter, so far as it prevented the sale of liquor in localities where there was a demand for it. Take the Harlem district for example, where as was recently detailed by a reporter of Tate Ace, in the vicinity of Fifth avenue within ten blocks were counted some fifty pool-temps, cabarets, saloons and other hangouts for idle hands, in most of which liquor of some kind was trady supplied. There was seldom any interference by the police with this sort of trade, except to exact tribute in the form of an occasional bottle or some other equivalent. So far as the Mullen-Gage act was concerned, Harlem was as far removed from its operation or enforcement, as Hoboken or Havre de Grace. The thirst for stimulants of an alcoholic nature was catered to as openly as if Volstead had never come to Congress. The handing over of Harlem for exploitation of the weakness of its inhabitants for prohibited beverages was largely in the interest of the proprietors of the saloons and delicatessens, which have steadily increased on every side under white ownership. The pool-rooms and cabars which have evaded the law less fragmently but managed to obtain a share of prosperity are mostly run by colored proprietors. Some of these latter places show the investment of considerable capital and appear to be conducted along legitimate lines as places of entertainment. But there seems to have been a tacit agreement on the part of the State and Federal authorities to refrain from interfering with the illicit liquor selling in Harlem. So the repeal of a dead law can hardly make the situation any worse in this respect. What is needed in Harlem is an honest enforcement of the law against the sale of liquor, whether it is done by the police power of the State or under the Federal amendment by officers of the United States. The number of delicatessens and soft drink parlors should be regulated and those dispensing "looch" should be closed. The effort to exploit and degrade the residents of Harlem by the purveying of harmful beverages under the guise of false liquor labels should be stopped at once. Most of the stuff sold as liquor is compounded of denatured alcohol, diluted and colored to resemble whiskey and other liquors. The continued consumption of such stuff is harmful to the physical system, as well as to the pocketbook of the wage earners. The chief beneficiaries of prohibition enforcement up to date, from a financial standpoint, are the bootleggers and that class of officials who wink at the evasion of the law. The foolish drinkers who risk their health and waste their money in purchasing the poisonous compounds dispensed are making a new crop of patients for the doctors and undertakers. As the Mullen-Gage act was not honestly enforced to any great extent in such districts as Hailey, its repeal is a candid admission of its failure. The Volstead act should likewise be repealed and a rational regulation of the liquor traffic adopted, that would permit the use of beer and light wines. In doing away with, the saloon, which has been effected to a limited degree, prophilhism has brought equally great evils in the shape of the "bootlegger" and the "speakeasy." The way of honest enforcement has not yet been found. SEA CAPTAIN OF LONG AGO. The will of the late Horatio P. Howard, who died a few months ago in New York City, in which he gave $5,000 to Hampton Institute and the residue of his estate to Tuskegee as a fund to establish Captain Paul Cuffe scholarships, aroused considerable interest as to the subject of this memorial. We learn from the Journal of Negro History for April that Mr. Howard was a great grandson of Captain Cuffe, who was a pioneer in the cause of African colonization, and in 1817 he erected a monument to his ancestor's memory at New Bedford, Mass. But it is to the early career of this notable character of over a century ago that we would direct especial attention, as his history is told by Henry Noble Sherwain in the same issue of the Journal. Paul Cuffe was born in 1759, the youngest boy and seventh child of Cuffe Slocum, a Negro man, and Ruth Moses, an Indian woman, who were married in Dartmouth, Mass., in 1746. He was born in the only house on Cuttythunk Island, about nine miles from the mainland. Slocum was the slave name of the father who worked out his purchase money and obtained manumission, whereupon the children dropped the surname of Slocum and used the father's given name. He learned to read and write and also studied navigation. At the age saturday, May 12, 1923 of sixteen he went on a wading voyage as a common seaman. On a long voyage during the Revolution he was captured by the British and died in New York for three years. After a period on shore engaged in agriculture he again essayed on the water in an ocean boat himself and his brother. He navigated several boats through shipping and piracy, he persevered until he became owner of a forty-two ton ship and made a successful whaling. In 1806 he was the owner of an brigs and several smaller vessels required as the result of successive ing, besides considerable provision in houses and lands. On one of his earlier voyages he landed from Westport to Norfolk in a cargo valued at $2,000. He went to Vienna on the Nantucket to buy corn. Upon the arrival he saxety-nine ton vessel, called the Fargo, it is said, the townspeople believed with astonishment and alarm. Owned and commanded by a business and manned with a crew of the small complexion, was unprecedented and prising." Suspicion was raised and measures were sought to prevent him from remaining in port. But his prow proved to be correct and the officers could not legally forbid him. The account says that the captain and his crew so conducted themselves that in a few days the inhabitants trusted them with respect and even harmed Early in his life Paul Cuffe兴趣 interested in the redemption of Africa. In 1810 he sailed out of West Africa to Sierra Leone, via Philadelphia, he made two trips to the West Africa coast, visiting England between them in order to further the progress of the economy. He also made arrangements with the Governor to receive colonies which might come from America. Returning to American waters in April 1825 in ship, the Traveller, was confirmed in bringing to the United States a Little cargo, contrary to existing trade laws. He went to Washington and called on President Madison and the Secretary of War and his ship and cargo were restored to him as his voyage was regarded innocent by the authorities. Another object sought by Captain Cole was the abolition of the slave trade. He planned to make a trip to Sierra Leone every year, taking over what ever goods were needed and buying and marketing African produce. But there were obstacles in the way, as his first voyage was financially unprofitable; he made another voyage taking out thirty-eight emigrants and bearing the expense of thirty of these himself. His activities brought him in close contact with the founders of the American Colonization Society and he was thought of as the prospective first governor of the colony, which became the republic of Liberia. But his death in 1817 prevented his further participation in colonization plans. The writer of this biographical sketch says that the life of Paul Cuffe is valuable for several reasons. First, as a tribute to American democracy, Cuffe is an example of an American youth hand-capped on every side, but overcoming well the difficulties which overshadow him that he won recognition in three continents." Second, as a tribute to the Quakerers "Cuffe's membership in the religious body and his adherence to principles gave rest to his real life to the betterment of his race." The students of Tuskegee who may enjoy the benefits of the Capitol and Cuffe scholarships, will do well to the career and emulate this stepping after of this sea captain of the history. According to the St. Thomas for the lack of water in the Virgin Islands threatens to be a serious question in his address to the Celona County Governor said: The question of irrigation is considered more or less in the future. Water for stock, water for domestic purposes, if we can get it that in full measure it will blessing for these islands. Evidently the dry proposition has a different side to it, from what is monly presented in the United States St. Thomas might be a good place the dry advocates to hold a conference To Calm Tide of Unrest. Edition of The New York Hundreds of colored laborers leaving the state daily, and need will become apparent, for the ored man is the ladder on whichern success is built. There is no reference in the mental and labor of the laborer, whether white or colored, and all must have a living and proper school advantages. They will continue to flock to the North large and convincing numbers. If theirployers would keep labor in the South they must interest themselves to see conditions are made more tolerable. The Negro of today is a new man and will no longer be satisfied with peck of meal and a quart of milk but wants and will have comforts of consciences, and humane treatment. Give them these and the tide of war will become calm. Deny them these and soon the South will awaken to that it has killed the goose that had the golden egg.

"Innocent," I received your card last week, and am mailing you a photo as soon as I get yours. Girls. I must end now as I can't think of anything more important to tell you, and "Ethel." I surely will write to you soon. "Lovingly "MARSHALLOW." DEAR GIRLS: After an absence of a few weeks I am back on the scene again, with greetings to you all. The column' is growing small again I see. Well, the good old summer days are rapidly approaching, and I am sure all the girls will fall in line again, and my! what a jolly column we will have. Sunday is Mother's Day, and I trust every girl will weave her way to some church. I wish I had space to publish my address for our Mother's Day exercise. I am trying hard to find something interesting to write but words have failed me. But listen girls, as "Negroes migrating to the North" seems to be the latest talk, suppose we give an opinion on this subject. I will respond later. Now I must close with lots of love to you all. "WILHEMINA" Augusta, Ga. DEAREST GIRLIES: Hoping you are all feeling fine this May day. I'm sorry to say I have a bad cold, outside of that. I am fine. Sorry none of you girls were out to Montclair on April 19. Well, I can't say "none", because "Alpha" was there Girls, you should have been there. "Kid Palmer" certainly was grand on her toes and she was enclosed three times. We had a packed house. "Alpha". I certainly do enjoy your letters and hope you like mine too. "Atalanta". I enjoy your visits very much too. (Ah, yes. "Atalanta", don't forget my birthday on the loch). Well, I will try and not be you girls any longer, hoping to see more letters, lovingly.

Name Address Age, May 3, 1923. --- In organizing themselves as a ladies sanitary to the Pulliman Porters Beneficial Association, the wives of the officers and members of this body deserve much credit for their sympathetic attitude and intelligent course in trying to assist their husbands raise the moral and economic status of the Pulliman Porter. This co-operation on the part of these wives demonstrates many things; most important, it proves that our women folk are beginning to think; they are commending to earn that they, themselves, are no higher morally or socially than their husbands, and he is not one loiterer than his occupation; so the thing to do is to elevate the occupation. This may be easily accomplished if we will only put aside that feeling of false pride which dominates no many of the porters. This attitude on our part has been the means, more than any other, of causing other workers who do not fare near so well to think that their line of work is superior to ours. Of course their thoughts do not make facts, although there might be some virtue in the saying, "As a man thinketh so he he." As one officer's wife concretely stated, the idea is, "To educate our man to the point where they will realize that occupation is not one of degradation; but just what they make it." We have hopes that the coming year's work of betterment among the Pullman porter shall be of such character that the most cynical will readily see and realize what it means to pull together. With our advantages, there are no limits to which we may not aspire, as an industrial group. We are in the employment of a corporation which requires only one of us; that we "attend to business while on the job"; any other business or inclination we may have is our personal affair; we do not have to live in continual fear of the immigration bars being let down (although we trust such will not take place); with this outlook, we may invest in houses, farms or indulge in any other business we deem best for our own interest. But nowwithstanding this roseate fature, it is essential to our economic welfare that we pull together. The Pullman Porters' Beneficial Association offers this advantage. If we fail to grasp our opportunities, the fault will be our individually and not collectively. Ladies, we welcome your assistance: you may be porters' wives, but you are blazing the path for other Negro women along industrial lines by cooperating with your husbands.

ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gan, Sourness and Pain How To Treat. Medical authorities state that nearly nineteenth of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are due to an cause of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food soaks, 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 drugist a few ounces of Blurated 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. Blurated 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. INVION OFFER limited number of DELACES DIAMOND CLASP 75 by subscribing to buy you 75 cents.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS Negro Press Refused To Be Segregated at "Salome" Frazee Theatre, Where Ethiopian Art Theatre Is Presenting Company of Colored Players, Gave All Colored People Seats in Balcony—Reporters Walk Out. (By W. E. CLARK). The repertory of the Ethiopian Art Theatre, Raymond, Neil director, which began at the Frazee Theatre, West and street, on Monday night, May 7, off with a bad start. The manage- THEATRICAL JOTTINGS The repertory of the Ethiopian Art Theatre, Raymond, *SQNeil* director, which began at the Frazee Theatre, West End street, on Monday night, May 7, got off with a bad start. The management of the theatre blundered at the opening performance by attempting to aggregate the colored part of the audience by giving them seats in the balcony. The colored press was given seats in this section of the house, but flatly refused to occupy them, and other colored people, hearing of this attempted discrimination went to other theatres. During the first week the same show that was presented at the Lafayette and other colored theatres, "Salome," is being presented. While the acting was good, the first night's performance was marred by the accidental breaking of dishes behind the stage at a tense moment of the play. Among other plays scheduled to be presented by this group of colored players during their run on Broadway are: "George," an expressionist play in 25 scenes; "Everywoman," played in a "black and tan" cabaret with pysdien clothes; "The Taming of the Shrew," and "The Comedy of Errors." The cast of the Ethiopian Art Theatre is composed of the following well known performers: Evelyn Freer, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Laura Bowman, Charles Olden, Arthur Ray, Lionel Monagas, Lewis Alexander, Apple Joywhite, Solomon Bruce, George Jackson, Walter White, Arthur Thompson and Marion Taylor. Robert Levy, formerly of the Lafayette Theatre, and of the Roel Film Co. who is associated with Mr. OXell in producing these plays, stated to a representative of The Age that no conscious attempt was made to segregate the colored at the opening performance, and pointed out that the seats for the Negro press were on the front row of the balcony. He could not explain why the other press representatives were given seats down stairs.

De Mille's new Paramount production, "Adam's Rib," the Chicago Board of Trade with its wheat and corn pits, is reproduced with absolute fidelity to make real the scene where Milton Sills, one of the five featured players in the picture, wins and loses a fortune in grain trading. Scores of trainal horses are used in these scenes to give a real touch to the excited action in the pits. Then there is the Natural History Museum where kilted Dexter and Pauline Garon start a pleasing love romance, great, towering, thirty-foot dinosaur skeletons put this scene in a class by itself as a novelty. Closely related to this prehistoric display is the expected and far-flung De Mille "cut-back" or "vision" scene in which the life of man of the time of the stone age is depicted. A huge redwood forest, the largest indoor set ever built for a motion picture, forms the background for the dramatic action. Seen in cave day costumes of furs and thongs, are Flint Dexter, Milton Sills, Anna Q. Nilsson, Panline Garp and Julia Faye, the featured players. Equally colorful but in the modern sequence are scenes, showing a gorgeous ball at the Ramayya home, a particular feature of which is the color photography which gives a beautiful effect in the flashing of huge Japanese lanterns carried by the dancers. Besides the featured players in "Adam's Rub" which opens at the Lincoln Theatre Thursday, the excellent De Mille cast includes Claire Goldman (George Field, Robert Brower, Forest Robinson, Geno Cortado, Wedgwood Nowell and Clarence Burton. AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE "The Unloved Wife," a mediciere melodrama about married life, which is the attraction at the Lafayette this week, is made vivid by the acting of Evelyn Ellis. The story of the play is about a man who is rejected by a woman and as a revenge on her, he marries her daughter twenty years later to torture her. This marriage is brought about because of the desire of the daughter to secure financial aid for her mother and a younger sister, who is an invalid. Miss Ellis takes the part of the daughter who sacrifices her life to her mother a lover, and gives a fine performance. H. L. Pryor takes the part of John Pennington, the bachelor who marries for revenge, and is also good. Others in the cast are Margaret Hubbard Brown, Bessie Allison, Monte Hawley, Ruth Carr and Cecil Gordon. "Follow Me," which played to capacity audiences at this theatre some time ago, will be the attraction in a return engagement next week. The cast includes Marshall Rogers, Clifford Ross, Ernest R. Whitman, Alice Gorgas, Bob Bramlett, Susie Sutton, the Leggitt Sisters, Jola Young and the "Follow Me" Four, and has proved popular wherever shown. There are two colored shows in Newark, N. J. this week. Irwin C. Miller's "Liza" Co. is at the Shubert Theatre; the "Follow Me" Co. is at the Lyric Theatre. By BOB SLATER.

However, these things were finally annot, and the hall was soon filled with friends and supporters of the Prampins, requested in meeting for themselves the development of a school which has adopted the plan of using only its own students in its recital programs, and does not exist the support of either pro- Mrs. Tapley's "Y Only Race Gro And They W Competition Is Held at Mematured Event of the Observer Week—Ashland Plas in Num Mrs. Tapley's "Y" Glee Club Only Race Group in Contest And They Win First Honors Competition Is Held at Memorial Hall, Brooklyn, a Featured Event of the Observance of Fourth Music Week—Ashland Place Club Smallest in Numbers.

He cared definite and unbiased authority to the Apocrypha Peter. Although during his trial he was deceived him and himself, he himself otherwise and had promised and apparently sworn to go with him to prison and to death, our Lord, his loving Master loved him and his personal interest in him. He was a devoted friend and supporter of the other apocrypha said, "We go with these, his Master and our Lord heard, saw and understood him.

The swimming pool was the scene of much frolicking every night last week while the Carnival was going on. Everybody went eagerly to see the fancy diving and water stunts and many went away with the resolve to learn how to swim. How is the time, the weather, the location, the spring days are busy ones for the Girl Reserves.

Allens is the originator of the far- more Walking and Talking Colored Dolls Agents Wanted Everywhere Winter 1st-day Students Dekete Question; What Is Negro's Greatest Contribution To America? "What is the Negro's greatest contribution to "America?" was the subject discussed by two college students, representing Virginia, Union University, and Nicholas Kirkman, the dean of the City of New York, at the National Baptist Church on Friday night, May 4. The affair was originally scheduled to have been an oratorical contest between the representatives or a number of our leading colleges, but the participants were the contestants were able to be present. These two, J. D. Corby, representing the College of the City of New York, and Joseph R. Henderson, representing Va. Union University, presented massly arguments in such splendid form that the kind of $100, offered for the best oration, was divided between them; Corbay was the first speaker and chose "Cotton" as being the most important contribution of the Negro to America. He traced the history of cotton raising this fact from its introduction from Africa, and how the Negro from the beginning had been the chief cultivators of it in this country. He also pointed out how valuable this product had become, being one of the most exported crops since 1812 and chief source of wealth in the southern states. He concluded by saying that, despite many efforts on the part of the white South to replace the Negro as a factor in the raising of cotton, none had been successful, and was throughed out. The Negro had been acclaimed king, and the backbone of the South's economic life. Tuskegee was 'the race', a streaker contribution to America in the belief of the other speaker Josephus that submission not only as a great material achievement, but also as a new idea in education, and as an ideal for the Negro race everywhere, showing the possibilities of a black man when given a fair chance. Each speaker spoke for about fifteen minutes, and as the end the judges, Mrs. Sadie Peterson, J. A. Rogers and A. Philip Randolph, retired to decide which had won. During the intermission, the chairman, F. D. Johnson, announced that the Daisy High school student, had won the first prize in the essay contest of the National Star, a weekly newspaper. Her subject was "The Life and Achievements of Frederick Douglas." L. Harris also won a prize in this contest, writing on the subject of "The Relation of the Negro to The Business Life of Harlem.
