Rev. Joseph John Will Be
Elevated With All the
Elaborate Ritual of
the Church
NATIVE OF GRANADAS,

On June 11 the Rev. Joseph John
will be ordained to the Roman Catholic
priest in the Church of St. Benedict,
Mary New York City, and on
To be ordained as Priest of the Roman Catholic Church, the ceremony to be held at the Church of St. Benedict The Moor.
Sunday June 17, he will sing his first strenuous mass in the same place. Attendance at both ceremonies will be invited to members of St. Benedict's congregation at the seating capacity is very small.
Roy Joseph Linn was born in Carriacou, British West Indies, in a family of a childless three of whom are now in religious a brother a Dominican triar in France and a sister a Dominican nun in Port of Spain, Trinidad, British West Indies. He has enjoyed the benefits of a very thorough education, he studied his classics in St. Joseph's College, Baltimore, his philosophy at La Salle University, Quebec, Canada, his history in three years with Cardinal Larger, White Fathers in Holland and Carte Africa, and finally two years with the Lyons Missionary Society, Anthony's House of Studies, Hollywood, N.J.
The education on June 13 will be a special occasion as at this time of the war, Monday is the day for the ceremonies, when as a general officer in groups of fifty or a hundred the priesthood or deacons are made a note, the four minor orders are made.
Roy Joseph John could have been ordained by the others a few weeks ago, and the engagements were not completed. When he student has resided for a long time in different parts of the country, important papers have been written and attested. He must get letters from various bakers, bringing him to the diocese where he is going to labor, and he must obtain a scholarship from colleges where he has studied, and letters of character from the gasters of the church where he was known. These letters necessitate excursion delay.
A decorative example, the Rev. Joseph Lloyd, will enjoy the rare privilege of being the entire elaborate ritual of the church for his sole benefit. This asterisk of earnest prayer, hard nosed and severe discipline, this young man will receive the consolation which will make him a priest with the authority to preside the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to administer the Sacrifices of salvation and to offer up the tremendous Sacrifice of Mass.
15TH WAR VETERAN IS A PRIZE WINNER IN BUILDING DESIGN
J. H. Watkins, Only Negro in Class, Wins 2nd Prize in Agricultural Drawing.
The only Negro student in his class, John H. Watkins, formerly of Virginia, resides now at 2374 Seventh avenue, was awarded second prize in the design contest for a public building or facility, being to fourth year class in architecture drawing at the Peter Cooper Univ.
Watkins came to New York prior to the recent World War and enrolled at Cooper Union. He also became a member of the band of the Old 15th New York Under direction of the late Leroy Lund Reese Europe, going with that organization to France when the United States went into the war. Returning to America, he reentered Cooper Union as a student in architectural drawing. The drawing submitted by Watkins enriched the design of bank building and shared much commendation at the annual public exhibition of the prize drawings held at the school on Friday evening, June 1. The second prize, furnished by F. K. Stuigis, was $10 in gold.

Washington, D. C.—Now that it has been definitely settled that the Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee Institute will be manned by a Negro personnel, from the maze of intrigue, petty politics, inspired calumny and well-meaning criticism by some not familiar with what has been transpiring on the inside, there emerge two facts that are incontrovertible.
1. The honorable part played by President Harding in making good his promise to Dr. Robert R. Moton to personally see to it that Negro physicians and nurses would be put in charge of the Government Hospital.
2. The firm stand taken throughout the controversy by Dr. Moton, who was brought face to face with a situation of great delicacy.
Demanding that he recede from his position in advocating a Negro personnel for a Negro hospital in the South were the Governor of Alabama, representatives of the American Legion in that State and other, white people who were willing to close their eyes to the "social equality" issue for the tempting salaries, which they evidently thought were too good for Negroes.
The situation was one calling for tactful discussion and diplomatic action on the part of Dr. Moton. Like Booker T. Washington, Dr. Moton knows there is a vast difference between constructive agitation and destructive agitation.

ROSCOE B. BRUCE TO DEVOTE HIMSELF TO LAW AND LITERATURE
Resigned as Head of McDowell Co. (W. Va.) Public Schools—Will Enter Harvard.
(Special to The New York Age)
McDowell, W. Va.—After twenty-one years as teacher, the latter period of which was spent as head of McDowell County public schools, Roscoe Conkling Bruce has tendered his resignation, to take effect at end of present school term, and will enter Harvard Law School, Cambridge, Mass. This is in accordance with the desire of his mother, the late Mrs Blanche K. Bruce, who died February 15 last, and who requested her son to devote his future life to law and literature.
In order that her son might be able to accede to her wish, Mrs. Bruce made ample provision in her will for this purpose. When Mr. Bruce enters Harvard, his wife, Mrs. Carrie Burrell Bruce, who has been associated with him in the Mr. Dowell schools, will take up the study of law at the University of Boston, and the Bruce children will enter the Cambridge schools.
It is indicated that Mrs. Bruce based her request in this matter on the recent corrispondence controversy had by her son with President Lowell of Harvard on the question of admitting Negro students to the Harvard freshmen halls, the outcome of which was a vote by the Harvard Overscene overruling the position taken by President Lowell barring the colored boys. The discussion was precipitated by an application filed by Mr. Bruce for the admitting of his son, now a student at Amherst, at the conclusion of his term of study in that school, sometime in 1924.

White Catholics in Brooklyn, N. Y., are giving substantial aid to the new colored church recently organized in that Borough, the St. Peter's Claver Catholic Church. Recently the White Guild, composed of prominent white Catholic women from different parishes in Brooklyn, gave a pinochel and euchre at the church, Ormond place and Jefferson avenue, presided over by Father Bernard J. Quinn, with three hundred Catholics from all parts of the city in attendance.
Meharry Medical College, according to announcement made at the last commencement by President John J. Mullowney, is now a "Class A" institution, recognized by the American Medical Association.
Lay members of the electoral college, Chicago Conference, A. M. E. Church, at a recent meeting to elect two lay delegates to the General Conference, rebelled at alleged dictation in part of high officials of the connection, charging them with attempting to name certain favored laymen as delegates. As a result of the rebellion, Attorney W. C. Hueston of Gary, Ill., was elected, with T. A. Smith of Chicago has his fellow delegate. A demand is to be made for more power to the lay delegates.
More than a score of the leading white women of Oklahoma, including presidents of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, the State Association of University Women, and the Women's Legislative Council, with representatives of the denominational missionary organizations, met in Oklahoma City and organized for promotion of better race relations, in connection with the Southern Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation which has headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. The women asked the southern white press to give more publicity to worthy achievements of the Negro and less to its shortcomings. State and local authorities are urged to protect all citizens alike, regardless of color, with a vigorous repudiation of the idea that lynching is ever justified.

ROCHESTER CHURCH,
J.E. ROSE, PASTOR
HAS DONE FINE WORK
Raised During Past Year
$14,997.12 and Has Cash
Balance of $7,707.24.
(Special to The New York Age)
Rochester, N. Y—The Mt. Olivet
Baptist Church, the Rev James E. Rose,
pastor, has just completed the most suc
cessful year in its history. Financial
reports from every department showed
total receipts of $14,977.12 from all
departments, with total expenditures
amounting to $6,349.88, leaving a balance
in the various treasuries of $7,707.24.
The balance brought forward from last
year was $1,056, showing that the church
has actually raised this year $11,900.94.
The pastor's report shows that at the beginning of the year the membership was 104; during the year 108 new members have been added—50 by baptism. Two have been lost and the present membership is 300. Plans are under way for the erection of a new church building, as the present one is wholly inadequate.

One of the many answers to the question, "Why Do Negroes migrate?" is found in the experience had by the Rt. Rev. B. A. Wallace of 522 Macon street, Birmingham, bishop of the African Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, when he went to Warren, Ark., on Saturday, May 12, to preach the baccalaureate sermon for the graduates of Walters Institute, one of the schools operated by the great Zion connection.
Body of Colonial Young Interred at Arlington With Solemn Ceremony
(Second to the New York Age)
Washington, D.C. With elaborate and appropriate military ceremony, the body of Colonel Charles Young, United States Army, was laid to rest in the National Military Cemetery at Arlington, Va., on Friday, June 1, following arrival of the body in this city from New York City, where memorial services were held on Sunday, May 27.
The James D. Walker Post, American Legion, of this city, acting for the Col. Charles Young Post, American Legion, of New York City, which held charges of the memorial service, served as escort for the body, accompanied by details from the regular army detachments situated around Washington and the District of Columbia National Guard.
The body was returned on an artillery caisson, upon an artillery escort. At Arlington, the service was conducted by Major O. J. W. Scott, retiring former chapain of the 100th Cavalry, United States Army, with Col. Axton, chief of the Coyote of Chaplains, U. S. A.
The burial of Col. Young marked the first funeral ceremony held at Arlington since the interment of the body of the "Unknown Soldier" brought back from France.

Not only was he made the subject of insult by a 20-year-old white stripling, but he was also assaulted and an attempt made with a heavy iron bar to do him physical injury. Then the town marshal, backing up his fellow ruffian, went out of his jurisdiction, crossing the town limits, to arrest the bishop, hailing him back to the town hall, where, after threatening to kill him, telling about having already killed "four niggers," the marshal locked the bishop up in the town prison on trumped up charges of drawing a pistol and resisting an officer. Bishop Wallace was kept in confinement about an hour, friends in the meantime having gotten in touch with the mayor, Lawyer Branham, and President Hollis of the First National Bank, three of Warren's most prominent white citizens, the latter two being personally friendly to the bishop and closely associated with the work at Waters Institute.

GARVEY IS CALLING WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENSE THIS WEEK
Government Concluded Its Case Friday, June 1—$731,432 Missing, Find $31.75.
With the opening of the United States District Court, Judge Julian W. Mack presiding, on Monday morning, June 4. Marcus Garvey opened up the matter of his defense by attempting to introduce matters which would prove a connection between the United States Shipping Board and his own prosecution, but Judge Mack ruled this out.
He then introduced as his first witness for the defense "Lady" Henrietta Vinton Davis, who holds a high executive position in the U. N. I. A.
The prosecution closed its case on Friday, June 1, and Garvey asked, for an adjournment until Monday in order to assemble his witnesses. The request was granted by Judge Mack.
In the final days of the first two weeks of the trial, during which time the government presented its case against Garvey, several former officials of the U. N. I. A., testified against their erstwhile chief. "Sir" Sidney de Bourg, leader of the West Indies, declared that Marcus Garvey had gone broke while in Jamaica from "playing the races," and that all Jamaica had been talking about it ever since.
The most interesting feature of these last days was the testimony of two government accountants from Washington, who had made an investigation of the hooks of the Black Star Line. These men testified that although they found only $31.75 in actual assets, there were in existence visible liabilities to the amount of $731.432. As some 43 out of 100 stock books continued missing, their witnesses estimated that additional liabilities, invisible as the drugs, might be estimated at at least $3,000 more.

A Sacrifice to Prejudice
After talking the matter over with Bishop Wafface, they told him that while they decided to the fullest extent the injustice and humiliation which had been heaped upon him, there was absolutely no redress. In fact, he was told that in order to appease the wrath of the whites it would be necessary to place him on trial on the charges made by the town marshal, unsupported though they were by evidence of any sort. And he was further advised by these good friends that it would be suicidal for him to fight the charge—the wise thing was to take a plea and pay a fine. Accordingly, on the serious charges of 'resisting an off-
REV. W. S. CARPENTER FAILS TO ESTABLISH CHARGE AGAINST WIFE
Could Not Testify Himself, And Principal Witness Refused—Jury Out Ten Hours.
The Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, former pastor of Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, has lost his suit in Supreme Court for a divorce against his wife, Mrs. Anna M. Carpenter. A jury and Justice Aspinall found that Mrs. Carpenter had not been guilty of mis conduct with Alexander Fuller, as Rev. Carpenter alleged in his complaint.
Mrs. Carpenter was represented by Attorney Jay S. Jones, and is now living in Massachusetts. Rev. Carpenter is pastoring in Buffalo, N. Y.
John J. McGiminis, attorney for the plaintiff, states that under the law of this state, Rev. Carpenter was prohibited from giving any testimony. The woman in the house in which the act was alleged to have been committed declined to testify, so there was only one witness claimed to have seen Mrs. Carpenter and Mr. Fuller enter the place. Despite this the jury was out ten hours before bringing in the verdict.

When Garvey, as counsel for himself, attempted to insinuate that Powell was hissing his testimony on hearsey, Powell indignantly repudiated the immination and asserted that he had actually seen Garvey get the phone, and had seen him get blank checks, also.
In opening his defense on Monday morning, Marcus Garvey, counsel for Marcus Garvey, charged that a jealous clique, twenty-five stockholders out of 400,800, had caused all the trouble; that the U. N.

Under His Regime Club Has Accumulated Cash Reserve of $26,000— 1,300 Members. On Wednesday evening, Decoration Day, a reception was tendered Julius
JULIUS W. WATSON
Watson, president of the Clubmen's Beneficial League, at the club headquarters by members and friends. More than 200 were present and partook of a menu of fried chicken, creamed potatoes, lettuce and tomato salad, ice cream and cake.
Michigan C. Brown served very acceptably as master of ceremonies, and called on the following speakers: Dr. James A. Banks, Captain D. Lincoln Reid, Archie Roberts, Mr. Smith of the Coachman's League, Col. Charles W. Fillmore, Fred R. Moore and the Rev. J. W. Brown, who presented Mr. Watson with a purse of $400 as an expression of the confidence and esteem of the organization.
Mr. Watson was almost overcome with surprise, but responded with a short address in which he pledged to continue to work in the interest of this organization for four and a half years. When he became its head the club had less than $5,000, but now it has $26,000 in cash. Its bylaws have recently been changed so that the club is permitted to invest surplus funds in real estate. This will add to its earning power, since this money only draws four, per cent, in the savings banks. The membership of the organization is now more than 1,300. The public has had the impression that membership in this organization is limited to only those who were employed in various clubs of the city, but this has been changed so that any respectable person may become a member who compiles with the rules and regulations.
Short addresses were made by J. H. McCoy, vice president of the club and H. R. Walters, chaplain. The committee on refreshments was John H. Braxton, Henry Hebron and Robert T. Kenny.

recently barred Miss Augusta Savage,
a colored are student, from admission
to the French school for a summer's
course of study.
Miss Savage, studying sculpture at
Copper Union, New York City, was

The difference in the Harlem secrete and consumption of "hootch," know under certain conditions, just as much as there ever was. ere is any more, because there acle in the way of the thirsty the stuff he could pay for or
travel with.
Of course there are a number of new places opening up from day to day, but most of them are opened by men who are already in the business, and who find need for reinvestment of profits which accumulate faster than they can ordinarily be spent. So, to prevent the piling up in their coffers of unproductive wealth, they proceed to another neighborhood, or maybe another block in the neighborhood where they are already and open up another "hootch" joint, making it possible for patrons to buy "poison" where poison was never before.
Just why Lenox avenue should have had almost a monopoly of this business for so long a time would be hard to explain. Certain it is, that when prohibition was first enacted, the only places on Seventh avenue catering to the thirsty element were those cafes that erstwhile had been legitimate saloons—legitimate, that is, prior to the enactment of the 18th Amendment.
There are a few of them remaining. One is at 133rd and Seventh avenue, and another is at 135th and Seventh. The latter, however, has transformed itself to some extent by a bona-fide restaurant, catering to a clientele that is rather select—but it is said that for the wise there still remains a hope.
New "Hootch" Joints Opened
As against these lonely landmarks of the days of old, however, there has sprung into being within the recent past a host of caes, delicatessens, and other places, that are catering to the "hoochch" consuming clientele with wide open doors. Some of these places camouflage their real purpose by displaying signs indicating that the place is being run solely to serve "Business Men's Lunches," and a bill of fare, showing scores of tempting dishes, printed out in large letters, is conspicuously displayed. Other places are to all intents and purposes the most innocent of cigar stores.
So now, it is said, Seventh avenue is a fair rival of its sister thraughfare over to the East, and the dry are saved that long hitherto necessary pilgrimage for the slacking of their thirst. There is another sinister element beginning to disclose itself as a factor in this situation. Some of these "hoochch" joints, if is alleged, are taking on the atmosphere that was to be found in the more notorious of the pre-Volstead days resorts. Rumor has it that certain gangsters, thugs, pickpockets, frail women who lend themselves as lures and other gentry of that ilk, are to be found at times making themselves very much at home in such of these dives as possess the rekuisite back-room seclusion.
That the representatives of the majesty of the law know of these conditions is hardly to be doubt, since they can be seen at any time, day or night, it is alleged, hanging out in andaround these places, in many instances, it is said, in close and confidential confab with either the owners or the operators. In fact, it is rather well authenticated, according to the number of incidents reported, that some of these officers, are in receipt of a tidy income from the selling, at cut rates, of booze which comes to them without cost of any sort.
Lenox Avenue Delicategens
To go back particularly to Lenox avenue, the most conspicuous signs to be seen are those adorning the fronts of a series of delicatessens. On all of these signs will be found blazoned in glowing red letters of considerable dimensions the name, "LOUI". But to confuse the unwary, perhaps, or to prevent wonder as to nativity of the original, there will be found added an "S", making the sign read, "LOUI'S", and nine of ten would take that to be the ordindry everyday name of "Loui" in the printing of which the sign painter carelessly injected an apostrophe. Well, "LOUI" has a number of delicatessen places, so called, but in every one of them the main commodity is "hooch".
It was into one of "LOUI'S" places that an unapostolicated lady walked one day and when she innocently asked for some pig's feet was hinder a half pint of gin. And it was in another of the "LOUI'S" places that two Brecklynites curate home after a late theatre party, diving a light

Dismiss Teacher Because
of His Personal Opinion
On Question of Equality
AT, Orlemns La Because, aw ex
préised the personal belief that there
are no artificial distinetions between hu-
man beings and that so-called “Soria!
equality” is» matter of individual choice,
James F. Browne, teacher in McDon-
‘ough School, No. 3, was dismissed from
that, position:by vote of the New Orleans
Parish School Board.
Browne was charged with writing a
letter to the supervisor of colored
schools, Assistant Superintendent Amos
C. Harris, following the ryproduction of
E dippra from dre Page News Bu-
reau concerning race distinction in, Kan-
was in the New Orleans Bulletin, of
which Browne is the editor.
The board found that Mr. Browne
had not taught school equality in, the
school room, nor had he advocated it in
the colunes of his paper, but because he
was man enough to declare that his per-
tonal belief is that there are -no argfi-
cial distinctions, such as differences of
color, he was adjudged unworthy to bold
a_position as teacher in New Orleans
schools and was dismissed.

client agreed “to bay the house and. it /
take her the following moming at 10

Mr. Haynes ot sup very carly in the

tage calling him to New York and the
would take the @efmit ad give her a

in Manila and the Philippine Islands. He
is tame again, having arrived ty: Friday
and is touring the States in his huge
powerful car. He leaves Saturday for
St. Louis, Chicago and New York, thence

should make good in the land across the
seas is not surprising, as he was regarded
a9 a wizard in medicine while here, ‘in
the days when the colored physician was

were afraid of colored doctors. Even

Newspapers in the South are daily featuring the exodus of
Negroes from that section, A recent issue of a daily paper from
Jacksonville, Fla, carries three columns on the subject: It ap
pears that steamship lines touching at the port of Jacksonville
have given notice that they will have to curtail their service unless
something is done to retain sufficient labor to load and unload
the ships.
It has been found that increases in wages for dock laborers
from twenty?five to thirty-five cents an hour,.of ship laborers from
thirty to thirty-five cents an hour, and of gang heads from thirty
five to forty cents an hour, have had no appreciable effect. | :
Lumber companies in Florida and in’ southern Georgia and
southern Alabama are also feeling, the pinch and are taking part
in the discussion, Some of the leading lumber men have stated
that “the convict leasing system and the fee system in, the smaller
camps have been working badly as regards Negro labor.” One
statement declared that "A Negro arrested is a Negro convicted”
in the average justice.court.' — . 5 s
This same Jacksonville paper carries a long letter. from Mr.
N. K. McGill, x prominent colored’ attorney of that city. It is a
plain, outspoken letter on the situation.“ \__ .
The consensus of ofiinion’ in all of thesé-southern journals
is that something radicat must be-done and done quickly. From
a state as far north as Virginia comes an editarial statement.in the
Richmond “News-Leader” that “The South, finally, must “im.
prove the living conditions of its Negro workers, who are now in
a veritable migration and are going wherever they “have the pom-
ise, however illusory, of better things. They no.longer are held
anne te Dine Poin: Bole oot Ma te, ite le Apps tess ann cal
back by timidity or by -ignorance of the outside world. as .once
they were, and many of them_are: pathetically ‘susceptible to the
lure of high wages, even for temporary employment. If the South
is to retain these Negroes, it must make them as contented as is
|practicable. In some places, this calls for better treatment aud
freedom from fear; everywhere it means better homes and, gen-
erally speaking, better pay.” *
This northern movement. of Negroes.is in effect a, wholesale
strike. In this migration the colored people of the South are
bringing into play the economic power of their labor- which is
naturally more effective than any mere appeal to, sentimeat. They
are exercising a power which is forcing consideration on the part
of the white South and which is bound to bring about benéficial
results.
However. for the good of the white South it is necessary that
the entire condition be taken into consideration. If white people
of the South go on the theory that. Negroes are leaving merely
because they will get a few cents. more an hour for their labor.
they are proceeding along a mistaken theory. In this exodus we
have an exemplification of the truth-that man does not live by
bread alone. The! Negro'in going North is in quest of more than
mere bread. : ;
It will also-be a mistake for the South to feel that a little
more kindness of treatment will alter the situation. Underneath
the whole condition is thé desire and determination on the part
of the Negro to be treated as a man. .
THE DISCOVERY ‘OF DETECTIVE BURNS. \
itis expected that a detective, and especially such a one as
William J. Burns, head of the United States Secret Service, would
know a great rhany things that the public does not know. It is
the business of a detective to unearth unknown facts. But it
appears that Mr. Burns has detected too much; in fact, he has de-
‘tected something which actually does not exist.
In a speech delivered the other day at Atlantic City. in which
he pled for power to drive radicals out of the country, Mr. Burns
said, “Every big strike in this country may be laid at the door
of Soviet influence and propaganda.”
It is entirely too easy to charge up every disagreeable con-
dition to Soviet government and to Bolshevism, but there is a
limit. Mr. Burns’ statement might carry a little more weight if
it were not for the fact that every American‘citizen of age must
know, namely, that there were big and serious strikes in the United
States long before there was any such thing as the late Russian
revolution or a Soviet government. There have heen strikes in
which many have been killed, strikes in which the President of
the United States has even ordered out federal troaps.
Without any comment upon the wisdom of Mr. Burns’ zeal
to run radicals ont of the country, we must say that he takes great
chances with his reputation as a detective and throws considerable
doubt upon the amount of ordinary information he possesses when
he makes such a statement as the one above quoted.
THE VOICE OF THE WAR.
At Arlington Cemetery on Decoratton Day, Mr. Dwight Davis
Acting Secretary of War, pronounced an address. In this address
he stressed the peril to the Natron of pacifism. He stated that the
voices that preached the gospel of pacifism prior to the great war
Prevented the necessary degree of preparedness, and that those
same voices are rampant throughout the country today. He sid:
“To eten to these veices will mean the abandonment of the tes-
sons the Sar taught as tothe sacrifice of life that -lack of training
involves when the emergency comes. Ta countenance Pacifism is to
open the way to the undermining of national defense.” |
This is the same old theory which the apostles of prepared-
ness have long preached, namely, that preparedness is the best
insurance against war. If the great war proved anything at all
it proved that this theory Was in error. Germany was prepared
and so was France, but it did not prevent war, The theory ad-
vanced by Mr. Davis is as reasonable as it would he to snppase if
every man in the community carried a gun nehody would get
shot, Common sense dictates that the best insurance against
anyone getting shot would be te have no one armed with a run.
To revive the gospel, of preparedness and to re-establish the
condition of all the great nations being armed to the teeth can
have only one result and that result will he another world war,
Our government would be wiser if propagandized for the tar
ing af the nations of the world rather than for the arming of the
United States, |

fHE NEW, YORK AGE
VIEWS and REVIEWS
By James Weldon Johnson, Contributing. Editor.
Ht GOVERNOR SMITH SIGNS THE REPEAL. ~
! Goyernor’Smith signed the repeal of the Mullen-Gage Lav
| after listening: to testimony o: both sides of the question at a five
Jhour public hearing. Not in recent years ‘has any piece of legis
‘Hation in New York State been the subject of such diverse anc
[bitter controversy. There were those who held that the sacred
nesx of the Constitution was at stake, that for Governor Smit!
to sign the ‘repeal ‘would be an act-vf-nullification. ‘The pressure
brought upon the Governor hy both the wets and the drys wa:
something ‘terrific; but the Governor has evidently dohe wha!
he said he would do—decided in accordance with the ‘dictates o}
his own mind, iy
Along with the bill Governor Smith submitted a memorandur
of about four thousand words in which he states his reasons for
approving the repeal. He sets forth, in answer to President Hard:
ing,- that it is not incumbent upon any state to duplicate the sta-
tutes of the Federal Government; that the repeal of the Mullen:
Gage Law leaves New York in exactly the position where it was
before the law was passed, *
The Governor devotes considerable space to the legal and
constitutional phases of the question. Rut aiter all, the question
of whether or not New York has the right to repeal the Mullen-
Gage Laws is an academic question; it is a question of legal
technicalities. The real question ‘before the people of New York
and of the country is whether or not they want prohibition en-
forced. If they want prohibition enforced strictly’ in accordance
with the Fightcenth Amendment and the Volstead Act and the
presence of the Mullen-Gage Law on the statute books of New
York assisted in realizing that aim, no amount of quibbling about
the right of New York to take the law off its statute books square-
ly meets the larger issue. In his memoraudum Governor Smith
takes this pactical side of the question into consideration and he
says:
‘The practical side of this question tof my way of thinking indicates.

ment is the only ageney that can attack the hase wf supply, Tt is ine
finitely easier to afop tke smuggling in of five hundred cares af Liquor
hefnre buik is broken than to trace the same five hundred after they
find their way into daferent parts af the State im ymall quantities,
“In another part of the Goyernor’s memoraudum he runs true
to his reputation for independence. Many people had written and
attempted to influence him by reference to his. political future,
and by his “political future was meant his chances for the pres-
idency. With reference to this the Governor said:
. “Much hay heen said in the putie prints eit re pect te the effect

fv opebteal dame that Jam wcbng tn attan by the sacrifice of any
priacple er ans convietion af what ap my mind is for the welfare and
the henetit ef thi. state and nat"
The greater part af the Governor's memorandum, however,
is devuterl to negative argument, the argument that the state has
a right te ats own severeguty: that it need not duplicate federal
legislation; that it has no obkgatien mpes it te enforce federal
statues; that he would not be swerve! in the least by any thought
of hry podrtical future: that the repeal of the Mutlen-Gage law will
not revise the saloon, that rt will net bring batk light wines and
heer. ‘These are all negative arguments, The impartial mind, after
granting the legal and consttatingal rights of the ‘state in the
matter and Gewernor Smith's personal chowe ay te his action, will
Stull be impressed with the fact that prohibition is being grossly
violated in New York State, perhaps more se than in any other
stafe in the country. There is the rim- fleet off the coast and
here are the smuqgiers on the Caradian border, all pouring hquors
into New York by the hundred. and even thencands if eases.
However. the Governor dees not devote the last couple of
tundred words in his memorandinm to the positive side of the
question. Te states that because he bekeves there is nothing
o be gained either by the nitian or the state by the retention
f the Mullen-Gage statute, vinte on the ether hand he believes

Rational Prohibition.
ihe signing of the bill for the repea:
of the Mullen-Gage act by Governor
Smith of New York is the signal for 3
movement toward a rational enforcemen
of the Eighteenth Amendment. So far
as tie present laws intended to enforcs
protubition are concerned, the only ef-
feet of this repeal will be to take offen
ders before the Federal Courts for trial,
instead of holding them for» violaticn
of the State law which has been abolish-
ed. The cbligation of the State officials
to enforce the Volstead act remains the
same. The repeal of the State law does
not make it Icgal to sell light wines or
beer or any beverage containing over
fie stipulated half of one per cent. of
alcohol in New York State.
What then, may be asked, is the use
of repealing the Mullen-Gage act? The
repeat of this law. which followed the

It was mistaken, though,
I was told, to discuss the mat-

could be seen
isn't it a plain fact our "backs are to the wall"? We need more first class colleges and hospitals. We need more approved medical colleges.
For a quarter of a century Shaw University trained and sent out hundreds of physicians. A few years ago her medical department closed its doors "temporarily". At Shaw, now, there is every faculty for the reopening of a medical college of the highest calibre. The laboratories there are among the finest to be found anywhere in the South. A modern, recently constructed hospital building is there. Practically the same faculty that made Shaw and the University of North Carolina famous are available, with additional well trained Negro physicians who would strengthen the teaching force. Then, Mr. Editor, do you not think conditions should be made possible for Shaw to reopen her medical department? The race will need more and more, as the years pass, for the rigid requirements imposed upon medical students and graduates. The hundreds of alumni of Shaw University all over the United States will rally to their alma mater financially. Could not an agitation be started in four columns to so should public sentiment as to bring about such an objective, to help meet an actual emergency?
I recall reading an editorial in The Age on the "Dismantling of Shaw University." It followed shortly the closing of the medical, pharmaceutical and law departments. Let us now begin a drive to remantle Shaw for the benefit of Negro boys and girls who may desire to be physicians. As a race; we must see and meet this tremendous problem of medical education Howard and Mehray need, endowments. Twelve million Negroes should be able to support financially three first class medical colleges for
sitting in the house, and the white man, ignoring Mrs. Corrothers, pointed his finger at Bishop Wallace, asking, "Are you the man that had that trouble down at the station with a white man?" When answered in the affirmative, the man, without further ado, said, "Well, come here, I want you, to come to the door, asking, "What do you want?" Then looking out, he saw near the gate the young ruffian who had been at the station, with another white man. The man at the door said, "Come on, get in that machine; and go with me." Remembering the threat—"I'll get you tonight"—and seeing no sign of official authority, the bishop was of the opening to guard the threat, of starting to carry the threat; so he declared he would not go, and turned back into the house, shutting the door.
As the door closed, the man who had knocked at the door scuttled down the steps and responded his companions. At the bishop's request, then, Mrs. Corosteaux went out to seek for an officer of the law. She returned in a few minutes, stating that the man who had knocked at the door was an officer, learning that this Bishop Wallace immediately back on the man asked the man to an officer." The man said yes. "Then I will go with you," replied the bishop, putting the action to the word. Getting into the machine with the men, he further informed this man, who later proved to be the town marshal, that if he had indicated his official position in any way, there would have been no delay in accompanying him.
But the officer, swollen with arrogance and filled with prejudice, swore with a stream of oath, that he did not have to show any authorities. When ball was reached, the man drew his gun, fondly idolating weapon and laid it on a wonder that he had shot the bishop when he closed the door at the Corosteaux's home. To this was added the comment that he had also killed four "niggers."
Rishon Told Him to Shoot
Still handling the sinister weapon, the marshal declared he was of a mind, even then, to shoot his prisoner, pointing the weapon directly at the bishop. The officer, aware of the possibility the threat might be carried out, the bishop finally told the officer that if he, the officer, felt that way about it, to go ahead and shoot. Realizing that his actions had not affected the colored man, the officer finally returned his weapon in his pistol.
Bishop Wallace's requests to be allowed to communicate with the mayor, Lawyer Branham of Mr. Hollis, president of the bank, were refused, and he was finally taken to the lockup, the town marshal firmly intending to keep him a prisoner all of Saturday night. But Mrs. Corrothers, Rev. L. O. Grady, principal of Walters Institute and one friends had been active of the three white men had been active of what was going on. They immediately rushed to the hall and the mayor order the marshal to produce his prisoner. The force of a trial and imposition of a $5 fine followed quickly, and then Bishop Wallace was released.
According to The Age's informant, the three white men (the mayor, the lawyer, and the bank president), were of one mind in advising the colored bishop that any attempt to secure justice in the matter would lead to serious racial disturbances. He was informed that the visionary could be secured against the visionary railroad employ who started the trouble, and that if one was issued, no jury, and that if a white man as against a black man. In short, the Negro prelate was told that the only thing to do was to let the whole matter alone, and go quietly on his way.
Seat Committee to Bishop.
On Sunday evening, at Wallers Institute, where Bishop Wallace prescheduled the baccalaureate sermon as scheduled, a committee of white men waited on him and assured him that the "best" white people did not commence the treatment accorded him, that he could stay in Warren just as long as he desired, and that every protection would be given him. This offer did not include, however, a removal of the stigma (?) of being convicted and fined before the mayor, nor did it mean a rescuing of the first. The town kept the baccalaureate money, all right, and he stayed through the entire commencement season.
five thousand people, and there are a number of well-to-do colored citizens living there. But the town is controlled by an unfriendly element that seems to run things. There is an element of negroism in the Negroes' welfare, but they are clearly unable to make their influence felt very far. There is a good bit of sorrowness among the whites of the section because of the constant migration of Negroes, but they do not seem to realize that such incidents are part of the man of high rank in the church and of distinguished standing as a man and citizen, furious a reason for the movement. There have been five lynchings in Warren, the victim in each case being a Negro. The lynching tree stands in the church and religiously preserved. To and from the lockup, Bishop Wallace passed under this tree.
NEGRO VETERANS' HOSPITAL
AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE IS
TO HAVE NEGRO PERSONNEL
NEGRO VETERANS' HOSPITAL
AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE IS
TO HAVE NEGRO PERSONNEL
(Continued from First Page)
Last February, shortly before President Harding went South on his vacation Dr. Moton, accompanied by Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, and Dr. Charles H. Roberts, also of New York, and other friends, called at the White House and engaged in a lengthy conversation, at which time the President assured Dr. Moton that Negroes would be employed in the Government Hospital at Tuskegee. Again this assurance Dr. Moton had announcements made in the Negro press that examinations would be held for positions. Applicants were instructed to communicate with the Civil Service Commission Division at Atlanta. While President Harding was in Florida it came to Dr. Moton's attention that the applications of Negroes was being held up. He immediately made complaint to the head of the Veteran Bureau, and Washington. President Harding also was also appraised of what was going on.
Outward signs of opposition to a Negro personnel began to crop up. Dr. Moton was visited at Tuskegee Institute by white delegations asking that he support their program for a white personnel. On each and every occasion he was firm in his refusal to accede to their requests, the serious and untruthful questions about "straddling" the issue to the contrary.
In the meantime disoriented Negro politicians became obnoxiously active. They gave out the impression that the President had asked them to make a list of appointments for the hospital, which was false. When the Veterans Bureau at Washington would show Dr. Moton the proper courtesy by consulting with him on appointments, the president in consultation by these political officers who zealously and with characteristic community selected an imaginary staff of their own from superintendent choice.
No Politcila Pie Counter.
Of course when the President heard of this act of foolery he promptly made it publicly known he disproved of any effort to make the Government Hospital a political pie counter, stating he desired the appointment of Negroes on merit and not on the basis of race. Delegations of white men from Tuskegee and letters from the Governor of Alabama failed to swerve President Harding from keeping his original pledge made to Dr. Mason. The matter had been closed so far as official Washington and Tuskegee Institute were concerned. The governor to the Negro press notifying applicants to make arrangements to take examinations for positions in the Government Hospital when agitators just wasking up to the fact that something was going on and they had not been able to get into the lighthead by indulging in vilification and criticism gat bushes. They have been perniciously over
Not satisfied that Dr. Moton had won his fight, the critics who manage to get into the public eye by criticizing those of the race engaged in constitutive work had to vent their spleen in some manner, so they are questioning the methods they employed in attaining victory. Deminations range from abuse for not outing the Governor of Alabama to baseless accusations of raiding the radar data. The sentiment—which if true, would find white physicians and nurses in charge of the Veterans Hospital.
The "Jim-Crow" Fallacy:
Northern Negro papers playing to the galleries made idiotic contribution to the disigning spectacle of trying to lynch a race leader by referring to the hospital as a "Jim Crow" institution, although overlooking the fact that the publications conducted by them might be classed in the same category. They do not seem to realize that in dubbing the Veterans Hospital as "Jim Crow" they are also reflecting on race lanks, insurance companies and other creditable business enterprises providing opportunity for efficient Negroes.
In compliance with custom, the white superintendent who was sent to Tuskegee in February will remain at the hospital until in the judgment of the Veterans Bureau at Washington, it is opportunity to turn over the institution to new heads. Under no circumstances does a Government Hospital open with a superintendent that capacity. This situation must to furnish additional ammunition for the few critics who have not participated in the mud-slinging. Tuskegee Institute and Booker T. Washington made it possible for a certain type of Negro to get some morality, not because of what the latter did, but because of his constant criticism of those who were doing something. He courted fame by waiting for Dr. Washington to transcribe his book, taking him from the them cowardly to taking him from the superior possessed sufficient brains and initiative to originate and build. His mission was to tear down. Dr. Motton, it seems, is having a similar experience with this kind of a pest—an enemy to the real racial progress.
Installation Services.
Brown Memorial Baptist Church, Herkimer and Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn, marked the formal installation of its pastor, the Rev. John Dawson Gordon, who has serving them the past two years, with a week's series of services.

Dr. J. H. Reed Returned After 18 Years in Africa
The Rev. Dr. John H. Reed, missionary under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has recently returned from Liberia to this country. Dr. Reed has spent eleven years on the foreign legion. Republic has been actively engaged in educational work, having served for ten years as president of the College of West Africa at Montvora, the leading institution in the Republic.
He also served as American vice-consul general in connection with the American mission from 1908 to 1914. He was knighted by the Liberian government as Knight Commander of the Order of African Redemption for services to the Republic. He is an editor and an author, having edited the official journal of the Liberian Mission during a period of the war, in which paper was subsequently published, under his editorial management as the Liberia Methodist.
In the year 1914 he published a volume under the title of "Racial Adjustments in the Methodist Episcopal Church," the introduction to which was written by Dr. Adna B. Leonard, corresponding secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions. This volume is published by New York City's Episcopal Company, New York City. It did much for the solution of the sexed problem touching the election and conservation of Negro bishops in the church.
He has represented the Liberia annual conference for three successive quadrants, from 1912 to 1920, inclusive, as the minister's delegate to the General Conference.

In reference to the maintenance of healthful conditions among Pullman porters, we know of no class of employees, unless it is dining car waiters and cooks, to whom this supervision is more religiously applied. To begin, no applicant can enter the Pullman service as a porter, until he has passed a physical examination at the hands of its physician. If he measures up to the standard requirements, which are height, weight and a pleasing appearance, and becomes a regular porter, his physical fitness is still looked after.
In the event of sickness, a sick report specifying the nature of his illness, is sent immediately to the district superintendent's office. The duration of his illness be shouldy or more, or if, for other reasons, he decides to remain away from his work that period of time, before he can return to service, he must present a certificate of health from a reputable physician. These same regulations allow more or less enforced by the dining department of all the important rail-roads.
As a matter of fact, the public, especially that which travels, is very well protected. There should be like protection given to the attendants; for it is common knowledge that not all those who ride in Pullmans and eat in dinners are specimens of health, not models of cleanliness. In the communication of diseases, we are more sinned against; than sinning. One case in particular, was that of a careless porter who got hold of a towel which has been previously used by some diseased passenger. In consequence, he contracted a malady from which he eventually died.

Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For Acid Indigestion
So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach-ache and inability to retain food are in probably nine cases out of ten, simply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach creating formation of an acidic fluid that holds the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inhibits the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid.
To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and is neutralize the acid, and make it blare and harmless, a teaspoonful of Bisurated magnesium a good and effective corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly harmless and inexpensive remedy to use.
An antacid, such as Disurated Magnesia which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form enable the stomach to do its work properly without the aid of artificial digestents. Magnesia comes, in several forms, as a certain to ask for and take only Disurated Magnesia, which is especially prepared for the above purpose.

Declaring that too many educated Negroes go into the professions that are already overcrowded, the Florita Sentumel calls for broader racial service. It said:
The American standards of living demand the services of professionals in hundreds of fields, and if the Negro is to become assimilated in this country, and yet maintain his status, he must look to find and to render every service needed, within his own race. And certainly he must vantage which comes of not having members of his race to render the service needed, when it is needed. As to the doctors, the lawyers, the teachers, and the ministers, these professions have been so crowded by the efficient and the inefficient that they are fast losing their quality and the public. And well they might, when we women and women ablack the public every day and in every way, it is time that public faith be denied to those who are unworthy. In the future Negro parents and youths must think to educate themselves and their children in other fields than those which have been educated in the public. They must learn that the professions of engineers, chemists, journalists, musicians, accountants and social service workers have as high rating as any others.
While the newer professions cited need their quota of candidates, we have just been told on high medical authority that the supply of physicians is not adequate to racial needs. It may be that instead of the older professions being overcrowded, they are suffering from lack of distribution. There is still need for doctors, lawyers, teachers and ministers of the right calibre.
The 148th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill will be observed by the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League as "Peter Salem Day."
Health Among the Negroes.
(From the New York Sun)
The excessive mortality which persists among the African population, the United States' largest population, graves message to the public health. Tuberculosis and other diseases not only deal suffering and death to colored people themselves, but through them are often communicated to others. The whole nation has a very real interest in the maintenance of healthful conditions among a race which furnishes such attendants on the public as cooks, maids, laundresses, Pullman porters and waiters.
Yet it is doubtful whether healthful conditions among the larger number of the race are educated as physician. In many communities the colored population is attached only by white doctors. Since many Negroes are very poor, practice among them is not desirable and is gather avoided than sought after. The Southern doctor does not writings, let colored patients suffer, but of necessity he does not give them the time an attention which their cases often demand. Sanitary conditions in the colored quarters of the United States are extremely bad, while preventive medicine is sady neglected.
The Journal of the American Medical Association sounds the right note then in pleading for the training of more Negro physicians. At present the high grade medical colleges of the country are graduating Negro doctors at the rate of 10 percent every year and are positing among a colored population of nearly ten and a half millions. If the Negro physician has been properly trained and imbued with a conception of the responsibility of his calling he has it within his power to accomplish much good. When he enters the home of his patient he is received as a brother rather than one of a different race; he attends him at home and can carry home home more than could the white physician the lessons of sanitation and health.

that being the name of the black patriot
who shot and mortally wounded the
British commander. In its appeal for
this observance the League said:
"It is almost marvelous, and should be made by us really fortunate, how Afro-Americans, still held in the least respect and treated as veritable aliens and social lepers, have figured, importantly and herocastly in the creation and progress of this United States of America, claims of any class or race are so lowly regarded that no ginnings, no title is more indisputable than that of the descendants of pioneers. The practice of annual observances of anniversaries of real pioneers in fighting for this government as National Race Days will serve to inform both our own youth of the race's genuine claims to all rights, and to forcefully remind the whiter Americans that we are native to the republic good enough to have fought for white enemies and there fore good enough to defend their leges with our fellow white citizens. Honor on June 18 or 19 Peter Salem, Afro-American soldier of the American Revolution, honored in Massachusetts by tablets and monuments in two cities."
The "Colored Patrons of the Revolution," whose deeds were preserved to history in William C. Nell's volume bearing that title, are entitled to their share of the honors, for the part they played in helping to establish the republic. The Boston organization will do well to commemorate "Peter Salem Day."

Of the Damrosch Institute of MusicaliArt. of New York City, fire graduat
students received artists’ diplomas, and of the five, one was Miss Sonoma Talley
a young colored pianiste, who outranked all the students in the pianoforte class
and was within one point of the first honor winner of the entire course, = gir
from the vocal department. . "
Because of the high rating gained by Miss Talley, and the, general excelfencs
of “her work, the faculty Gf the Institute, with the board of trustees,, voted he
18 special prize of $500 for the purpore of comtinued study.
Before beginning on the artists’ course, Miss Talley had already made an
‘exceptional record, “for she had completed in one year the course of study mapped
‘out by the ‘Institute authorities to cover two full years. .
In winning first honors in the piano department, Miss Talley upset calculations
somewhat? as officials of the school fad been of the opinion that another stident,
1 young man, would be successful in this.particular.
© So sute was Dr, Damrosch as to this result that he had already made up
the commencement program, giving to the young white pianist the place of honor
which belonged by custom to the highest ranking pupil, that of playing a piano
concerto, accompanied by the full orchestra. As a matter of fact, Miss Talley
had not been given any place on the program at all, This was to be accounted
dor, it is being whispered around, by the fact that the piano teacher who was
in charge of Miss Talley’s work, an Halian, Prof, Giordino, was persona mow grata
to certain of the higher officials of the Institute, and these reports are to the
effcet that Giordino's jrupils received little consideration save what they forced
hy sheer merit of achievement, It 1 reported that Prof. Giordino has realized
this and will not return to the Institute as 4 teacher, .
However that may be, certain it is that when the faculty of the institute
held ite final auditions for passing judgment upon the work of dhe piano pupils,
Miss Tailey’s playing won for her a higher ranking than that attained by the
young man who enjoyed Dr. Damrosch's personal favor. And that verdict of
the faculty was approved and endorsed by the vote of the artists’ jury, which
acted to the same effect, placing Miss Talley as No. 1.
. In the meantime, however, Dr. Damrosch had prepared the final programs,
and notwithstanding the verdict of the faculty and the artists’ jury, there was,
up to within two weeks of the commencement, no sign of a change which would
accord to Miss Talley her rightful place on the program.
Finally, however. the matter was taken up direct with Dr Damrpsch and it is
evident that the justice and equity of Miss Tdpley’s right to recognition caused
him to see the unfairness of his action But still he would; not go the whole way
in making teparation. Miss: Talley was. fully prepared with a Grieg Concerto
for piano and orchestra to take her proper place in the chmmencement exercises,
gut on the plea that the Grieg number was too long, be insisted that she sub-
stitute a Lisrt Polonaise, piano solo, requiring just two minutes less for its per-
formance. f
‘So on Saterday evening, before hosts of people, few of them of her own
tace, Miss Talley sat dewn at the pianoforte and played the I,iset Polonaise in
ba manner as confirmed in the minds of every hearer the absolute right
and jUsice of the faculty and artists’ jury in voting her first honors as a pianist,
and justiNed the trustees and faculty in awarding her. the special: prize of $500.
The chairman of yx board of trustees, Paul D. Cravath, actively connected
with Fisk University, Nashville, Tena, at which institution Miss Talley's father,
Prof. V.W. Talley, is a member of the faculty, has always manifested an interest
in this talented young eobored gis, In fact, it was through his interest that she
secured the scholarship which made 1 possible for her to enter the Institute of
Musical Art. aad to continue through to the goal which few colored mus@@ins have
attained—that of holding an artists’ diploma.
Misi Talley wiil remain in New York City for the present. She is teaching
the pianoforte ar the Martin-Smith Muue School, and plans to continue her studies.

In his first appearance in New York
in almost three years, Bill Tate, 24
scored a knockout oved Tom: Cowler,
214y;, the British heavyweight at the
Commonwealth Club on Friday night,
June 1. Tate had the best of the fight
in every round and the referee inter-
vened in the fifth to save Cowler from
being knocked out.. The Britisher ap-
peared to have gone back considerable
and gave Tate little opportunity to
show his ability.
Willie Walker, 162, the middleweight
chcampion of the National Guard, had
an ' easy time defeating Lewis Mattons,
166%, im the semi-final bout, acheduled
for twelve rounds. Walker was award-

Overcome Evil With Good.
But I command you all,
and pray for your
that you may become
the Father in Heaven;
that you will run to rise on the
that as the good and send
who do right and those
that can read with care the
that is bound to conduce
both as to spirit and
many because:
There is no disputing the fact that, the Virgin has cause for feelings of empathy and the American white man. But he is afford to let that cause provoke moral effect? Jesus says, "no!" The person says the same. The person who hates incites the one hated to incite incurrence which may affect the state of thousand through genesis and ember. But it has a rejection on the one who hates which is many and impossible growth of soul. It echoes and pertains the soul.
Individual conflicts, group uprisings and have their ground in hate crimes. If men would quit hating one another would cease and wars would end more. That is why Jesus will lay your enemies and pray for your persecutors. The Negro's safety in this country depends upon his practical counsel of this text. If he carries thoughts that make for hatred, his white man, a conflict of arms, will be in group, will be the imminent result. That will enable some people to kill to a few white men, win from the less hatred having played the role of allies. The Negro is too much to help the race by fighting. The way is to love and pray. If you hate the white man, it is better not prayed for him. It is unable to pray for a people and pray for your persecutors. The ways of hatred will banish in you as you pray. Yea, emotions will manifest themselves in prosecutions as you mean your prayers.
we cannot whip the white man to treatment of us let us love him. Especially is this advisable we grow stronger and better by marrying him to that which proves his faith. So you may become your Father in Heaven, for His sun to rise on the wicked he good and sends rain upon the right and those who do right and those who do more important that our worship to God than our even with the white man God's sons until we reflect him. He gives the son to him in the right who delight in His dispense to the good who are striving to His will. So we, to prove that as true sons of our Father Heaven must love everybody, even love will bridge the chasm prejudice and usher in an era of peace and good will.

In Memory
DR. WILLIAM H. BROOKS
We shall not hurt again his dignified
Discourses his grave, kind face.
We shall not see again; the mortal died
Alas! The vacant place!
St. Mark's eyes are moist with mournful grief
For their departed chief.
The fish rebelled, it would no longer serve.
So left good Dr. Brooks.
Like one prepared did he obey the call,
His duty here was done;
He lives no more to grace the conference ball.
The orator is gone;
The friend, the preacher, the great counsellor.
Is visible no more.
Is visible no more.
But he lives on; death is change, not
cessation;
As he still surely
Lives in the hearts of his vast congregation.
His work was noble, he performed it
well.
He lavely beat he gave;
He atrpte until he, almost dying, fell—
Behold the martyr brave.
Triumphantly he lived, according to God's plan,
An honest, devout man.
The pastor, husband, father, brother, friend,
In each did he excel;
Humanity may know no nobler blend
He did so nobler well;
A monument did he erect: this man of God
Let the whole race applaud.
A VISIT TO THE SOUTH
(By Rev. H. H. Proctor)
I have just returned from a little journey of 2080 miles to the heart of the South. My objective point was Atlanta, and I stopped at Petersburg, Enfield, Durham, Raleigh, Athens, Nashville and Cincinnati.
Arriving at the Union station in Washington early Monday morning, I found 200 immigrants from the South in the station who had come up overnight. Presently they moved out going to points further North, and the next trains brought an equal number. Both groups were men and women, and both men and children. I was told by one of the station attendants that this had been going on daily for three months.
As my train speed through Virginia and the Carolinas I saw an unusual number of white women washing their own clothes and most of the women in the fields seemed to be white men. At Petersburg, Va. where, however, Mr. T. R. C. was the principal I the diminution in the colored population. I spent a night at the J. K. Brick School, near Enfield, N. C., where my good friend, Principal T. S. Inborden, has a great school located an a thousand-acre tract of land. He is the schoolmaster of the region, and I was told that in that locality scarcely any one school is attributed to the fine schools in the country to the friendly feeling between the races. At Durham, N. C., I was entertained by Dr. J. E. Shepard at the National Training School, and was particularly impressed with the prosperity of the colored people. Fayetteville street is one of the finest residential streets for our people in America, and the building of the school is a marvel of enterprise and progress. It is an inspiration just to visit this building.
The Rev. P. R. DeBerry greeted me at Raleigh, N. C., and I was impressed with the amicable relation between the races there, and with the steady progress of our people in business, school and church. One of the wealthiest men of the race, Berry O'Kelly, lives here, and has a most salutary influence of the life of the city.
At Athens, Ga., I found a different situation. There had been a great exodus from this place, and more were planning to go. There had been considerable trouble in this locality, fables, and the colored people around the depressed. However, I found nowhere a more intelligent and responsive audience than at Athens. This is due to the long and effective work of Dr. C. S. Haynes, Prof. L. S. Clark, and others.
Atlanta I found as full of excitement as ever. Large numbers of colored people had gone to Northern centers, and an equally large number had come in from the rural districts, so that the level of the colored population was maintained. Stories of racial friction fell in the air, and much discontent was manifest. However, there is distinctly great progress here along business lines. The Service Company is doing great things for the race. The First Congregational Church will hold the center of the stage for the church life of the race, and it was a great joy to be involved with a friend, the assistances of former days. A million dollars worth of new jobs are being built in Atlanta for the colored people, which, in addition to the fine facilities for the race provided by philanthropy, makes it the educational center of the world for the colored race.
At Nashville I spent some time at Fik, my alma mater, and was impressed with the five group of young people who are coming out to take their place in the life of the world. I found the young men particularly eager to get information concerning the movement of our people northward, and I was quizzed at great length by these bright young men. I was impressed with the seriousness and point of their questions.
The last step was in Cincinnati, just over the Ohio River, and it was a pleasure to be ground by so many and representative christians of the Y. M. C. A. and the ministers of the Century Church. W. J. President, Home too. I found the people eager with the northward movement of our people. I found the Clarkson northward, the officers in our northward, so he made up of people from various parts of the South.
definite impressions concerning, the southern situation. One is that our people are more restless than ever before, and a large majority of them have decided to make a change in their residence. Some who have made large accumulations have lost faith in the South and have been forced to leave, hand, grant numbers will remain and wax prosaemic in Dixie, for every one who goes helps them to stay.
Another is that the white people are purposely as never before. Although, for the most part, they are maintaining a bold front, it is evident that they are particularly concerned. In some cases they are able to deprive the oppressed of intimidation, and still in others to pleading to prevent the colored people from going. Nevertheless, the northward flow continues.
The other is that the race problem is to be solved in the North. The South unwilling to solve the problem on America is to equal opportunity, and it is unable to do so for the national facilities. The question of slavery had to be solved in the North for the nation, and the final solution of the problem of the races will find its solution here on Christian lines, and then, in the case of the matter of slavery, be applied to the whole nation.
Brooklyn N.Y.
NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
Mother Zion Church.
The preliminary services Sunday morning, June 3, at Mother Zion Church, were of a high and inspiring order. The sermon was preached by the pastor. He announced as the pastor of his discourse, "Another Test of Discipleship from St. Luke 9:62." "And John said to him no man, having put his hand to the plough, and Jokking back is fit for the Kingdom of God."
The Christian religion is just as essential to the life of the individual, the community, the state and the nation, as are food, air and water to the physical well being. It is demonstrated in the lives of those who make sacrifices to advance the cause of righteousness. Having put your hand to the plow, it is absolutely necessary that you continue in the work. As a rage, there is much and arduous work for us to do. Respect the jaw and order, proper self deportment, and respect for the rights of others, must be impressed on the minds of our people in a manner that will be productive of these results. Unless our people who are constantly arriving here from the South observe these principles, there will be greater restrictions. Vigilance for your eternal good is the uncompromising price of permanent liberty. It is the duty of the church to stand on guard and sound the alarm, all the while exercising faith in the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
The sermon was manifestly impressive, and the whole congregation gave evidence of being spiritually uplifted. At its conclusion twelve persons were received into the church.
The Sunday-school convened at 2 o'clock. J. W. Eichelberger, general superintendent of the Sunday-schools of our connection, was present. and addressed both sections of the school—in the lecture room and in the main auditorium. He spoke on the modernizing of the methods of conducting the work of the school. At the close, an informal reception was tendered him by the official staff. By special motion, Mr. Eichelberger was given $10, the Sunday-school quota to his department.
In the evening, Dr. Brown spoke again on "Making the Burden Light."
On Thursday evening, June 7, a drama, entitled "Jeptah's Daughter" will be given by a splendid cast, headed by Miss Mabel Diggs, for the benefit of the building fund. The regular monthly meeting of the Brotherhood will also be held on this date.
On Friday evening, the annual memorial service in memory of the members of the church who have died during the year, will be held. There will also be a meeting of the Sunday-school board.
Next Sunday, Dr. Brown will preach at 0:45 a.m. Baptism and Holy Communion will be administered at 3:30 p.m. At 8 p.m. the pastor will preach an sermon to the Robin Hood Circle No. 288, Ancient Order of Forresters.
The sick: Ella Nipson, 103 West 137th street; Olivia P. Barnes, 541 Lenox avenue; Fannie Reid, 165 West 136th street; Rosa Coleman, 208 West 134th street; Herman G. Bass, 65 West 144th street.
First Emmanuel Church.
A full house of thoughtful members and friends greeted Pastor Bolden at the Sunday morning service. Pastor Bolden's text was "For Christ is, not entred into the Holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the body of Christ. Give us to appear in the presence of God for us"—Hebrew, 9:24.
He said: "The Literary Digest of this last week, has an article calling attention to Mr. Pauf Popenoe's scientific report in the Journal of Heredity in Washington, D. C. 'Measuring the Mentalities in our Melting Pok' The diagrams of various race and national groups upon the North American continent is not only interesting but affords a great opportunity for deep consideration. This consideration will be our Congress, the various nations that emmigrate here, and the thoughtful and constructive groups among the people of African descent. The diagram shows that the average mental age of Negro draft, was 10.37 years, the lowest, of any of those races and national groups to which this test was applied. The result of this observation should stimulate the leaders to arose the advantage of every opportunity to preserve their health and develop their minds. Ignorance of industrial, economic and political factors which have to do altogether with temporal existence and social values presuppose, total blindness to eternal, existence and spiritual realities. Therefore such a child mind must be taught and awakened to a realization of the meaning of its existence and what it may contribute in its environment that reveals the fact of its understanding of human and divine things. Our Lord the Emmanuel at twelve years of age showed in this natural test with the Sabbaths then

Abysainian Baptist Church.
The second week of the openings and dedicatory exercises was just as interesting as the first. Music was a special feature during the week. Miss Leah Kate Walker, who had charge of the program on Tuesday evening, when the physicians and dentists spoke presented the Wanamaker Quartet, Miss Theresa V. Greece, and the Female Trio. All of these were splendid artists and greatly pleased the audience. J. B. Brown and the Wanamaker Quartet made a special hit in its selection to Dr. Powell and the Martin-Smith Music School on Wednesday evening entertained and inspired the audience, which occupied every seat for two hours. Another great musical program was rendered on Friday night by a number of distinguished white musicians, including Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wade Kimey.
Dr. Francis Robinson, field secretary of the National Baptist Convention, delivered an able sermon Sunday morning to an audience that occupied all standing room, while Rev Marshall Sheppard preached to an overflow audience in the vestry. Dr. Robinson brought greetings from the executive board of the National Baptist Convention. Hundreds of Masons and their friends were turned away for lack of room in the afternoon. The occasion was the annual sermon of the Masonic Grand Lodge of the State of New York which was delivered by the pastor. Grand Master Drew Parker presided, and included Rev John Robinson and the Grand Mark's Church and Samuel's grand master of the State of Illinois. Both of these gentlemen delivered brief and interesting speeches. Dr. W. W. Brown preached a helpful sermon in the evening on "Christian Growth." The offering amounted to $1,728.70.
The following persons and organizations made special donations: Dr. E. P. Roberts, $15; Dr. Richard Taylor $20 more, a total of $70; Dr. James A.

St. Mark's M. E. Church.
On Sunday, June 3, large congregations attended the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. E. Church. The pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson was the speaker at the morning service and preached a very forceful and appealing sermon, Text. Acts of the Apostles, 20th chapter and 19th verse. Theme, "Obedience to the heavenly vision." Preceding the evening sermon a fifteen minute recital was very creditably rendered by the their under direction of Prof. E. A. Jackson. At the evening service, Dr. John H. Reed, with Dr. Robinson's pulpit preached a very able and diratic sermon, Text. St. John, 14th chapter and 27th verse. Theme "Peace," Dr. Reed was distinct superintendent in Montville, Liberia, for eighteen years. In the course of his sermon he gave a very vivid word portrayal of the existing conditions in the Dark Continent, and expressed his firm belief that the rights of Christianity will be diffused among the natives there through the united efforts of the Christian people in this country.
A beautiful and touching feature of the morning service was the presentation of a huge bunch of white carnations and sweet peas by Howard S. Johnson in loving memory of the late Dr. W. H. Brooks. The incident inspired Dr. Robinson to establish the unique innovation of having members and friends of the church pay a similar fee to Dr. Brooks but to any member, or friend who has stressed the box. Dr. Robinson has announced that all social activities around the church will be unbounded for thirsty days out of respect for the late Dr. Brooks. Sunday, June 10, is looked forward to as a gala day in the church. Dr John W. E. Bowen, vice-president of Gammon Theological Seminary will be the speaker at the morning service in the auditorium and, in anticipation of an unusually large attendance, an overflow service will be conducted in the Theater. The choir will serve in the overflow service under the joint direction of Misses Thelma Brunson and Marienne Robinson. Rev. Richard A. McGarthy will preside.
"Children's Day" will be fitted
observed and the Sunday school is
rehearsed in singing by the choirist, Miss Minnie Brown
The musical and literary services of
the Epworth League was largely
attended and an excellent program very
creditably rendered. . . The principal
features of the program are to
elect students by two blind men
after the direction of Miss Beam.
Dinner was served in the Church
house under the auspices of the Sunda-
school, Mrs Alice Perkins in charge
The Silver Saras Cush presented
Dr Robinson with humours for the pulpit.
Sunday, June 17, memorial services
will be held at 3:30 p.m. in honor of
the late pastor emeritus, Dr. W. H.
Brooks. A special invitation is extend-
ed to the public as large to attend an
laborate program is being prepared
for the occasion under the personal
direction of Dr Robinson.
At both morning and evening services
the choir, under direction of Pro-
F. E. A. Jackson rendered excellent music.
Salem Church and Lyceum.
On Monday evening, May 28, the choir of Salem Church rendered its annual concert, "The Holy City," by A. R. Gail. It was the finest musical event in Salem and in all probability will be the last given in old Salem church.
The leading vocal characters were Mimes, Goins, McVey, Coleman and Gulliver; and Misses Williams and Simmons, and it was given with orchestral accompaniment.
Mrs. McVey, Mrs. Gulliver and Mrs. Coleman deserve special mention for their proficient work, because they had only a few days to learn their parts.
The closing chorus "Great and Masseous" was rendered with great effect. Rudolph Grant, chairmaster-organist deserves great credit for the work he has done. He has completely revolutionized the choir. Every voice stands out for itself.
Standing room only was to be had by 8:30 o'clock, and many were turned away.
Next year we anticipate having an audience of three thousand in our new home, the Calvary Church building on Seventh avenue.
Last Sunday was Communion Day. We had 474 communicants. Rev F. A. Cullen, pastor preached, at both services.

Union Baptist Church.
On Wednesday last, the annual outing of the Sunday-school, in the form of the May Party, was bad, and it was one of the best we have ever had.

Only a few were out to the prayer service on Friday evening owing to the fact that our pastor and a great many of the members went to Mr. Vernon, N. Y., to the Macedonia Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. R. Nelson, where the fifth anniversary of the pastor is being celebrated. The german was delivered by our pastor.
At 11 a.m. m. Sunday morning, after selections by the choir, Rev S. L. Johnson of Boddington, Va. was presented by our pastor, and he delivered the message on "Salvation". Sunday-school at 2 p.m. was well attended. At 4 p.m. the storm that swept over the city hindered the women from turning out and hearing the sermon by Dr. Johnson on "Elevation of Womanhood". At 5 30 p.m. the B. Y. P. U. under President Lloyd was at its point of duty. Evening services also felt the effect of the storm. Dr. Johnson delivered the message from the subject, "Jesus making the Child the Example of Christ's anuity". Evangelist Johnson is to be with us through the week and next Sunday. Seven joined with us, including one conversion. Offering for the day $490, 79.

and to the work, and in their day of service, give to the church and community
The third year, just ending, of the present church, the Rev. Dr. W. C. Brown, has been one of unbroken success and achievement of which the church is jointly proud. So on Monday evening, June 1, members of friends to the number of several hundreds, gathered at Fleet Street Church to tender a reception to Pastor Joseph and Mrs. Brown as memorial of their appreciation for what has been accomplished under his administration. More than four hundred members were added and over $30,000 raised during the reception. Dr. Brown has shown great personal magnificence and his vision, "The enlargement of the church," has crystallized and tern shape.
