A direct request has been made to a number of the pastors of Harlem churches by the editor of The New York Age, asking them to actively cooperate in the effort to rid the community of the bootlegging hootch-selling joints which are exerting so baneful an influence upon the health and morals of those who patronize them. The ministers have been asked to have their congregations give an expression of opinion through the adoption of resolutions signed by the people of the churches or in any other feasible way, condemning the damaging and dehazing actions of the traffickers in the poisonous demand alcohol which is the real cause of most of the breathalcohol in Harlem. The letter addressed to the various ministers called attention to the expose of bloody-selling conditions in Harlem given in columns of The Age, and issued that a public meeting might be held to arouse the people to the real crisis which is confronting them. Letter to Ministera Ester Moore wrote as follows: "I know you have read each week on opening of the booth condition in Harlem, which includes Glen Inn. While I have the active cooperation of the Police Captain, Inspector, and I, believe the Commissioner, there should be in my opinion a public meeting held for the purpose of arousing the people in the real peril confronting them. The conditions are hurtful and our people are being degraded and debased by had whiskey. Lenox avenue is almost impossible and Seventh avenue, one of the first streets in Harlem, is being made like unto Lenox avenue. Should we stand for this? Should not we who believe in cleanliness, speak out and protest against a continuance of the condition? I believe, if the children people show their disgust of the conditions something will be done quickly. It is not a one man night but should be the fight of the community. Perhaps, a wise thing to do would be a resolution adopted by each church and signed by the people of the church. I think this would answer the purpose, each church going about it in its own way. "I love your cooperation." Citizens Become Aroused. The citizens of Harlem are becoming posed to the sinister menace contained in the activities of the bootleger whose cell subject is the fattening of his purse tween the life blood of the com- munity is drained in the process.

Barnett of 132 West 131st street was convicted of practicing medicine without a license and remanded to the Tombe until October 15 for sentence. Barrett, exhibiting a diploma which certified him to be a student of mystic philosophy, a scientific herbalist and botanist, was charged by Morry Silverman of 411 Llenox avenue with promising to curate him of a physical affliction for the sum of $50, and that Barrett supplied him with a bottle of alleged medicine. The case was heard before Justice Herbert, O'Neill and Herbert, who found Barrett guilty, although the pro- guerer, discharged.

Investigation by officers discovered a number of coat hangers in the basement of the store occupied by Louie Immerman as a suppressed delicatessen shop, but which has been referred to as one of the alleged canonflaged booth selling places so numerous in Harlem. Further investigation by a detective from the District Attorney's office is alleged to have discovered a number of the sales slips used by Schapiro in marking his garments, some of the slips being found, it is alleged, in the train barrel in rear of the store, while others were found in the front of the basement where they had fallen, it is alleged, when swept from the front of the store. Subpoenas were given Loui Immerman and three others, used to be his manager, bartender and porter, respectively, the latter being observed, the others Hebrews, to appear before Judge Rosalsky in the Court of General Sessions at 2 p. m. on October 10.

The last of the sixty-six members of the first Constitutional Convention of Missouri passed away when Chauney I. Filley, 98 years old, was buried. Filley was a pictureque figure in Republican politics, and the Civil War mayor of St. Louis. He was an advocate of freedom and was one of the delegates who signed the ordinance abolishing slavery, January 11, 1865. A delegation from the Equal Rights Convention, held recently in Brooklyn, called on President Coolidge and declared that the Negro had lost faith in the Republican party. They asked for a statement outlining the President's views on the treatment of the Negro and urged passage of the Dyer Bill, placing of Negro personnel at Tuskegee Veterans Hospital, and abolish segregation in Federal departments. The President told them that they must remember other races have suffered unpleasantness and expressed gratification over great strides the race has made. He said the government will do all it can to dispense justice and protect the Negro from mistreatment.

Foreman, a young colored man, was held in $2,500 bail for the Federal Grand Jury by United States Commissioner John N. Doyle on Monday, October 8, when arraigned on the charge of impersonating an Assistant United States District Attorney, and collecting various sums of money from some twelve or fifteen persons on the assertion that he could stop dispossess proceedings in the Harlem Municipal Court. William Butler of 454 St. Nicholas street, also colored, made the complaint, charging that Foreman had claimed to be assigned to look after all rent and dispossess proceedings in the Harlem Court. Butler said he paid Foreman $15. The prisoner will probably be indicted by the Federal Grand Jury on Monday, October 15, said Assistant District Attorney Carl Brecher, who is prosecuting the case.

Most of the cleaning, pressing and dyeing places in the neighborhood have colored pressers who earn from $20 to $30 per week. In lines where more manual labor than skill is required, there several big employees of colored labor in the neighborhood. One of the largest of these is the National Family Service Laundry Corporation at 141st street and Fifth avenue, which employs from 175 to 200 colored men and women. Since its opening about fifteen months ago, this laundry has been very successful and the manager, V. R. Kramer, states that a large factor in their success has been their colored employees. Continuing, he said that the spirit and general morale of these workers was high and his corporation was doing all in its power to make working conditions such as would make these people contented.

Y., colored, a clerk in the foreign section of the Varick street branch postoffice; was held in $1,000 bail by United States Commissioner Hitchcock on charges of having abstracted from the mails stocks and bonds of approximately $100,000 value. Jackson has been in the postal service for ten years. Since last July postoffice officials have been trying to trace missing, registered, mail packages, and it was only Jackson's extravagant manner of living that attracted attention to him. He purchased a $750 rug for his Oasis apartment and when Post Inspectors R. E. Bash and William J. Kenyon erhived his rooms on October 4 to arrest him, they allege that they found his apartment furnished with the most expensive fittings and commissions. His salary was $49 per month. The technical charge of money of $8,000 was placed against him and his alter put up $1,000 in crisp new bills, it is alleged. The inspectors reported that a search of Jackson's apartments resulted in finding $11,000 in American money, in $20, $50 and $100 bills; $4,000 in English money, and $5,000 in Argentine money.

CHARGE REALTOR WITH ILLEGALLY HOLDING $300 PAID ON HOUSE Allege That Davis Accepted Payment on Property He Had No Authority to Sell. Miss Maria Hooks of 225 West 135th street, had Jefferson A. Davis of the Jefferson A. Davis Co. real estate office at 274 West 135th street, summoned to the Washington Heights Court on Monday, October 8, alleging that he was unlawfully withholding the sum of $300 which he had paid him as part of a contract fee to bind the purchase of a 3-family apartment house at Nepperhan, near Yonkers. Miss Hooks alleges that she wanted to buy the property in question, and that Mr. Davis represented himself as the owner's agent, the property being offered her by him at $14,000. On September 10, Miss Hooks claims that she paid over to Davis the sum of $300 on account of a $500 payment required to bind the contract, preliminary to the drawing up of the necessary papers, when an additional $1,500 was to be paid, making a first payment of $2,000. She charges, however, that when she called later for a copy of the contract, he had raised the price to $14,500, claiming that this was the owner's figure. Miss Hooks alleges that in an evident attempt to influence her to sign at this advanced price, Mr. Davis had present in his office a young white woman whom he referred to as a daughter of Joseph Rossi, the Italian owner of the Nepper- As a result of a complete Covenant operation, Mrs. Alice Biegel of Custon, N.

Aftermath of Suit Against Prominent Harlem Physician Brings Denial By Him of Slander Charges In Connection With Paternity of Tandy Child Damage Suits Against Certain Newspapers Pending Based On Alleged False Intimations That Docto Was In Jail—Small $100 Bail Was Given In Own Office Dr. Ubert Conrad Vincent of 251 West 138th street, replying to the suit entered against him by Mrs. Sadie Dorsette Tandy of 219 West 139th street, for $50,000, based on alleged statements concerning the paternity of Mrs. Tandy's child; enters a general denial of the charges made against him, and in return has filed a counterclaim in the sum of $50,000, representing two suits at $25,000 each, based on alleged slanderous publications made by instigation in the Chicago "Defender" and the "Hotel Tattler" respectively. THE BEST OF THE WORLD Edmund O. Austin of the law firm of Austin & Austin, 220 Broadway, New York City, appearing for Dr. Vincent, has filed an answer to the charges contained in Mrs. Tandy's suit, making that the complaint be dismissed with costs assessed against the plaintiff, and that judgment be awarded against Mrs. Tandy in the two causes of action at $25,000 each. Conspiracy Charged. Dr. Vincent, in his reply, through Attorney Austin, alleges that Mrs. Tandy, with preconceived malicious intent, compiled and planned to injure the physician's reputation, and that in pursuance of this object, she held at various times at her residence meetings and conferences with certain members of the Answers Tandy's Suit for $50 Counterclaims of $25,000 Each community at which time she gave publicity to reports concerning Vincent which were intended to poison the minds of her hearers. It is charged that this conspiracy on part of Mrs. Tandy had the effect of inflaming the passion of resentment and anger of the persons present at these secret meetings against Dr. Vincent, with the intent of impairing his usefulness in the community as a physician and injuring his good name and reputation. The reply further charges that as a part of the alleged preconceived conspiracy to heminir the doctor's good name, the suit for slainer based on the charge that Dr. Vincent had circulated the report that Major Tandy was not the father of Mrs. Tandy's child, was used by Mrs. Tandy as a pretent and basis for circulating false and injurious statements concerning the physician, and that the accused must be prosecuted. the Chicago Defender, the New York News, the New York Amsterdam News, Hotel Tottler, and the Pittsburgh Courier, to publish a statement which implied that Dr. Vincent "was guilty of some crime and had been incarcerated in jail therefor." The statement is characterized as false. Dr. Vincent asserts that at no time was he away from his office or in custody of the officers. It is asserted by Dr. Vincent, who shows the deputy sheriff's receipt and substitution of his statement, that he was only required to put up the small sum of $100 its bail in the matter of the body attachment secured by Mrs. Tandy for his arrest, as against $250 which she had to put up to secure its issuance, and that this $100 was put into the hands of the officer in Dr. Vincent's own office, the receipt for same being 50,000 for Slander With Two ch for Conspiracy and Libel. written on one of the doctor's prescription blanks, the officer being there about five minutes. Was Never Arrested. Another publication made in the *Dr. fender*, in which what purports to have been an interview given in the New York office of that paper by Miss Beatrice King of New York, a friend of the Tandy's, was given, it is alleged by Dr. Vincent to have been false and libelous, and the two publications are made the basis of the first counterclaim for damages in the sum of $25,000. A second cause of action against Mrs. Tandy, made the basis of a second counterclaim for damages in the sum of $25,000 is found in a publication made in the *Hotel Tattler*, in connection with an article concerning the suit for stolen instituted by Mrs. Tandy, in which the charge is made that Dr. Vincenb PAGE TWO a previous court record in connection with the making of slanderous remarks concerning people.

TIBERNACLE CHURCH USTA, TO CALL A STOR TO I'S PULPIT Famous by Late Dr. C. T. Walker, "Black Spurgeon," Great Pulpit Orator. (By W. S. HARRIS) Augusta, Ga.—Tabernacle Baptist Church, founded more than thirty-eight years ago by the late Rev. Dr C. T. Walker, popularly known as the "Black Spurgeon," will probably very soon call a successor to the pulpit made vacant by his death. During his lifetime the fame of this great church was known throughout the country, for he was undoubtedly the greatest prescriber of his day, and through his influence the members of this church, as well as the citizens of Augusta, enjoyed the rare privilege of hearing some of the most distinguished characters of both races from his pulpit. Ex-President William Howa 2. Talt, Dr. Nicholas Murry Butler, president Columbia University, New York City, Dr. David Gregg, a great disciple of the Presbyterians, Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor Mt. Olive (Baptist Church, New York City, Dr. Charles Satchell Morton, Editor Fred R. Moore of The New York Age, and others have at different times graced the rostrum. On July 29, 1921, when the grim reaper death summoned the great "Black Spurgeon" to his final reward, the late Rev. Sils X. Floyd, who had been the able assistant to Dr. Walker, was made acting pastor. He succeeded admirably and the church flourished under his leadership and when his summons came to join his lamented predecessor he left behind a grateful membership who will ever revere his memory. His ability as a pulpitere and organizer was blessed by God's guidance and the financial burden of the Tabernacle has been lessened. Having been bereft of its pastorate in the death of their great leaders the Church's sovereign capacity met September 30 and deliberated call of a successor, and the unimmotionally voted to do following offices and members church were named as a Pulpit Committee until a pastor is finished.

There are also a number of colored men employed as mechanics in the various garages in the section. No Colored Salamena. Among the large employers of labor in Harlem who do not use colored help, except as janitors and porters, are the United Cigar Stores Co., which has more than a score of retail stores in the neighborhood; Daniel Reeves Grocery Co., which has a warehouse and business office on 141st-142nd street, and the Atlantic and Pacific and James Butler chain stores, numbering more than forty. When an official of one of these companies was asked why his company did not use colored labor, he stated that it was a natural tendency for anyone in business to give employment to his own race or people whom he knew well but should there be a shortage of 'is people for this race, would be glad to help the local people a chance in these positions. He also stated that most of the clerical positions required a certain amount of training and experience which few colored men possess. Race Women Given oOpportunity. During the war, colored women were given an opportunity to learn how to operate the electric power machines, so important in the clothing industry. Many of them took advantage of this opportunity and it is estimated that no less than a thousand were employed in the clothing and in the needle trades as operators, some of them earning as high as forty dollars per week. This is since been greatly reduced, there are still several hundred such workers. Small dressmaking and millinery shops in the theatrical district and in the district armand 20th street and Broadway for a number of years employed colored dressmakers and milliners and so esteemed girls and clerks, but in most cases the latter were very light, complexioned people passing for white. Among the stores in this section that know, employing colored help are: Mme. Francis shop on Fifth avenue; Mme. Claire at 130 West 45th street; the Broadway Novetty Shop, and Mma. Hammer, in the theatrical district. A prominent colored milliner who has done business with many of the firms stated that color plays a comparatively small part with those employers in the selection of their employees. If they are capable and indifferent,色 work gets us fair a chance as any other race. She also stated that many colored people seeking a job down town do not talk as though they are capable, feeling that they will be discriminated against, anyway, and as a result do not make a favorable impression. She he leaves that if the colored m.n. or writer is as well equipped as a white competitor and can, so impress the employer, he will be given a fair chance. This be given to him, given to the employer.

Grace Congregational Church of Harlem, Inc., is now permanently located in the church building recently purchased from the Immanuel Swedish Church at 308-310 West 139th street, just a few steps west of 8th avenue. Grace is the first colored congregation to invade that section. The church is at the base of the heights on which is located the City College of New York, of which it has a fine view. The audiences have doubled in number since occupying the church building. The pastor announced last Sunday a community program, as follows: The School of Music is in charge of Fred Work; the Kindergarten, Mrs. A. E. Reeves; the children's hot-lunch at mid-day, Mrs. N. B.

Garner; Tuesday afternoon Bible School, for children of all races, Mrs. Julia A. Meder; Organist and pianist, Hazel Thomas. There are occasional meetings of many kinds in this new community church. The pastor is chairman of a very profiling group of men called The Committee on Boosting Commercial Activities, that meets every Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Business and professional men are interested. The aim is to inspire business men to greater effort and to change the psychology of colored people toward their own group of business men. Last Sunday J. W. Work, Jr., of Nashville, Tenn., sang a solo, Rev. W. W. McCary of Washington, D. C., assisted in the service, and the pastor preached on "God's promise to the pure hearted." Six persons joined the church, Dr. Williams, Mr. DeBruecke, Misses Ford, Treadwell and Joyner, and Master Leonard Baily. Mrs. Sylvia W. Oden of Washington, D. C., formerly of Fisk, recently a pupil of La Forge, and her husband, the Rev J. C.

Negro Taxi Owner Tests Problem Of Buying a Mogul Cab Negro Taxi Owner Tests Problem Of Buying a Mogul Cab What is the reason underlying the refusal of the Mogul Checker Cab Company to sell its cars to Negro purchasers or to permit white buyers to employ colored chanfeurs? At the same time, the Mogul Co. does not hesitate to take all the Negro business it can get in the way of passenger transportation, even entering into direct competition, on occasion, for such business, as was evidenced during the recent session of the Pythian Supreme Lodge in New York City. The question of whether or not a colored buyer can secure a Mogul Cab was got to that company in the past few days with definiteness by Dorsey Walker of 2400 Seventh avenue, a colored taxicab owner, who has owned and operated a fleet of Shaw Checker Cabs, and is at present both the Shaw and Pennant cabs. The Mogul Co., sent out to prospective, purchasers a form letter calling attention to the superior qualities of its machines and seating definiably that delivery could be made in ten days. One of these letters was, sent Mr. Walker. He immediately called at the Mogul office, 225 West 50th street, and had a talk with Ruby Pittsberg, the sales manager. He told Mr. Pittsberg his call was for the purpose of buying a cab. The manager, at first, put up the usual excuse of congestion in the factory and inability to make immediate delivery. But when his attention was directed to the letter, promising a ten-day delivery, the salesman found it necessary to go upstairs and consult the general manager. Returning, he said the company would sell Mr. Walther a cab but no effort was made toward drawing up a contract. Mr. Walther insisted, however, that he was prepared to make the first payment, $800 or more, and school that a contract be drawn up. Pittsburg, evoked the proposition, however, at the same time emphasizing the cab's fine points. But no contract was drawn up, and finally, after stalling as long, as he could Pittsburg told Mr. Walther that the matter of selling a car to him would have to be taken up with Mogul car owners association, a group of Consortiums composed of Italian, Jews, Americans and every other type, and that car owner would be given NATURAL HAIR WIGS SWITCHES, TRANSFORMATIONS, CURLS, CLUSTER PUFFS, HAIR NETS, STRAIGHTENING COMBS, AND EVERYTHING IN HAIR GOODS.

Garner, Pastor, Cites Judge's Order, Dismissing Case as to Grace Group. The Rev. Dr. A. C. Garner's pastor of Grace Congregational Church, informs this paper that the statement published in last week's issue of The Age to the effect that Rev. W S. Holder's claim against the defunct Harlem Congregational Church, as adjudicated before Justice Jacob Marks in the 7th District Court, must be paid by the Grace Congregational Church, because of alleged responsibility assumed by that congregation in the merger of the two church groups, is in error. Dr. Garner states that the verdict awarded Rev. Holder was against the old Harlem Church and that the court specifically declared that Grace Church was in no wise responsible for the amount involved in the Holder claim. On the contrary, said Dr. Garner, the judge dismissed the case "as to defend Grace Congregational Church of Harlem," and assessed $25 costs against Dr. Holder. A type written statement issued by Dr. Garner for the Grace Church gives the following account of their construction of the court action: "CASE No. 1-9122 "On September 28, 1923 in the District Court, No. 7, Judge Jacobs' Marks presiding, there was held a trial of Wm. Stephenion Holder against Grace Congregational Church of Harlem and Harlem Congregational Church, Inc. Witnesses for both plaintiff and defendant appeared before the judge and recited what they knew of the debt of Rev. Holder against these churches' After a brief trial the case rested, and on subsequent date the judge rendered the following decision: ("Judgment is rendered in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant for Harlem Congregational Church in the sum of $114 and $25 cost and disbursement as taxed in all $341. Ten days stay was allowed). "CASE No 2-9193 "Judgment for the plaintiff is rendered for, the sum of $998. Complaint dismissed as to defendant Grace Congregational Church of Harlem with $50 post. Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of Grace Congregational Church of Harlem, says there was a gentleman's agreement to take over all debts of record. This particular debt of the minister was not a record and no bill was presented by him and no itemised account of indebtedness to him was ever presented to the new church until just prior to the suit in Court No. 7. The church denies it authorized its trustees to make a note for such a debt. Scotch Plains, N. J. Scooch Plains; N.

Moses, head of the department of vocational agriculture, which occurred on October 1 in the chapel of the Institute, the Rev. John Brice officiating. Mrs. Brown is one of the race's most distinguished and accomplished women, and the splendid work she has done in the development of Palmer Institute has put her in the forefront of workers for the good of the people. She is a prominent member of the National Federation of Colored Women's Club and has been prominently mentioned as a prospective cannulate for its presidency. She is the first and only colored woman ever invited to address the famous East Northeast Home Mission Conference at East Northfield, Mass., for two successive years, having been a principal speaker at both the 1922 and 1923 sessions. Mr. Moses is a British suspect, and reputed to be independency wealthy. He holds a bachelors degree from Oxford College, England, a postgraduate degree from Cornell University, trinacla, N.

The present week, beginning October 14, and ending October 13, is devoted to the registration of voters in the City of New York. Leaders of both parties have begun an intensive drive for registration, so that every person eligible to vote may exercise that privilege. Unless a votet is registered, we cannot vote. The first five days the registration places will be open from 5.30 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. On Saturday the hours will be from 7 a.m. to 10.30 p.m. Besides qualifying the voters to exercise their choice in the election of State judges and assemblymen, together with aldermen and other city officers, the registration permits them to enroll for the primaries of next year. These will be most important, it being a comparatively simple. The voter, either male or female, must be twenty-one years of age, a citizen, a resident of the State or one year, of the county four months, of the city thirty days and the election district thirty days before election. A literacy test required of new voters whether native born or naturalized or evidence they have conferred the sixth year of elementary school. With the large number of Negro residents in Harlem, the voting population has never measured up to its capacity. Too many who might qualify as voters have neglected this city and privilege in the past, especially among those of foreign birth. The present week gives all of these another chance to be up to their opportunities. There should be a marked increase in the registration of voters in Harlem this year. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

The first five days the registration places will be open from 5.30 p. m. to 10.30 p. m. On Saturday the hours will be from 7 a. m. to 10.30 p. m. Besides qualifying the voters to exercise their choice in the election of State judges and assemblymen, together with aldermen and other city officers, the registration permits them to enroll for the primaries of next year. These will be most important, it being a presidential year. At the first primary the duly enrolled voters will choose delegates to the national conventions which will nominate candidates for President and Vice-President. Those who do not register and enroll this week can have no voice in selecting the delegates who will name the Presidential candidates. As the duties of the conscientious voter begin at the primaries, the necessity for properly enrolling as a member of some political party cannot be over emphasized. The qualifications for voting in New York State are comparatively simple. The voter, either male or female, must be twenty-one years of age, a citizen, a resident of the State for one year, of the county four months, of the city thirty days and the election district thirty days before election. A literacy test is required of new voters whether native born or naturalized or evidence they have completed the sixth year of elementary school. With the large number of Negro residents in Harlem, the voting population has never measured up to its capacity.

In the pressure of "Jim Crow" schools, as aptly styles them, the Seattle, Wash., enterprise" emphasizes another danger owing for the Negro in the North. It puts out the evil of separate schools in thelowing fashion: There is no such thing as an "equal" Jim Crow educational system in the United States, and there never will be. It is a double impossibility; it is In the pressure of "Jim Crow" schools, as it aptly styles them, the Seattle, Wash.. "Enterprise" emphasizes another danger growing for the Negro in the North. It points out the evil of separate schools in the following fashion: There is no such thing as an "equal" Jim Crow educational system in the United States, and there never will be. It is a double impossibility; it is economically impossible, because to state can afford two adequate school systems, and the Negro system will be the one to suffer, as long as white people disburse the funds. And it is again impossible because the same motive that would put Negro children into a separate school on the theory that they are not good enough to have as good a school as white children. The one theory will support the other. Oh, of course, they will agree to pay the same salaries to get you started in that separate school and they will agree to some other "same" salaries to state. And they will agree to pay you out, agree to get you out, if you want the definite price of your getting out. And when you are out, and fixed out, salaries and everything else can be, and will be, readjusted—and a barrel of heating powder will not get you back in. We have seen thousands of "separate" public schools, and we have never seen one that was equal in advantage to the "white" or general school of the same community. The separate school system is undemocratic and opposed to every ideal of true Americanism. Its only object is to bolster up the idea of "white superiority" and keep the other race inferior by allowing it only inferior opportunities for education. Without separate schools much of the vaunted Ideas of white superiority would vanish in the South and with them much of the existing racial prejudice and antagonism. The public school system of the United States, when conducted on the broad lines of equal training for every child regardless of race or religion, is truly the welting pot of the situation. In this crucible of plastic humanity all distinctions of color or caste equal proportion. The final result is the true American, conscious of his own merits and deficiencies and able and willing to properly estimate his fellows. The work of eradicating unworthy prejudices of race and color should begin in the schools. The longer separate schools are permitted to exist, the longer will prejudice and racial friction be engendered and encouraged. A SOUTHERN POLICY. The rock upon which most Republican candidates for the Presidency, as well as not a few of the Presidents themselves, have come to grief, is the outlining and adoption of a Southern policy. The reason for this shipwreck of Presidential ambitions on this policy has been due to the fact that the plans adopted have not been founded on the broad principles of right and justice. Most Republican leaders when they consider the Southern situation become dazzled by the vision of attracting the white voters into the support of the Republican party. To do this, they feel it necessary to throw overboard the black voters who have formed the backbone of the party in the South since the days of Reconstruction.

Most public leaders when they consider the Southern situation become dazzled by the vision of attracting the white voters in the support of the Republican party. To do this, they feel it necessary to throw over board the black voters who have formed the backbone of the party in the South since the days of Reconstruction. A policy based on such an act of treacher and ingratitude is bound to fail of success. It not only fails to hold the white Southerners who may profit by such tactics to the extent of accepting office under a Republican administration, but it invariably repels the black voters and drives them to independent action under a Republican standard to the indirect support of Democratic candidates. It has been declared by political doctor of many degrees that the Republican party in the South is in a very bad way and need the injection of new blood to revivify it. A mitting that this is true, it will not help the patient to first expel the strongest element that have kept it so long in existence. The only Southern policy that will help the Southern situation is one that will include the Negro as a vital factor. He cannot be ignored by the party that first put him into politics. What is waded is a man in the White House who will give all citizens equal and exact justice. One who will not allow him self to be swept off his feet by the sophistries of Southern demagogues of either party, who desire to keep alive racial prejudices as a means of personal profit. The deserving men of the race must be given equal opportunity in party councils and in political preferment. The excuse, that the appointment of Negroes to political office in the South will lead to social equality should be treated with the contempt that such falsely pleading deserves. If our candidates for office possess character and ability and are qualified for the positions they seek, their color should not count against them.

We have hitherto refrained from comment on the closing of the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, because of the reflections cast upon the conduct of the president, John Mitchell, Jr., whose past career and character entitled him to a suspension of judgment until the charges should be fully adjudicated. Recent developments, however, have pointed to a solution of the trouble, so far as the depositors are concerned, and the movement to reopen the bank and realize on its assets promises to be successful. We learn from a recent issue of the Richmond "Planet," of which Mr. Mitchell is editor, that a mass in making of the depositors was held in the Richmond nurseries. At the time a was submitted for the depositors to discharge the receivership by signing at half of their claims. This plan was advocated by the counsel for the State Corporation Commission and by a well-known white banker, James D. Lecky, who reviewed the auditors' report to this effect: We have hitherto refrained from comment on the closing of the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, because of the reflections cast upon the conduct of the president, John Mitchell, Jr., whose past career and character entitled him to a suspension of judgment until the-charges should be fully adjudicated. Recent developments, however, have pointed to a solution of the trouble, so far as the depositors are concerned, and the movement to reopen the bank and realize on its assets promises to be successful. We learn from a recent issue of the Richmond "Planet," of which Mr. Mitchell is editor, that a mass inning of the depositors was held at the Richmond nurseries, at which a plan was submitted for the depositors to uncharge the receivership by signing at half of their claims. This plan was advocated by the counsel for the State Corporation Commission and by a well-known white banker, James D. Lecky, who reviewed the auditors' report to this effect: This statement shows that the aggregate of the deposits is in excess of $525,000,000. That is a large amount of money. As a means of complying with the larger two of business in the city, that are younger in doing business in the city, he examined his plan. I am going to appeal to your solicitor for you will not get more by the plan than you could possibly get and the receivership as it now exists. The receivers report the net estimated loss of $203,013.25. The difference is between a live institution and a dead one, a scare-crow and a memorial to the colored people of this community. The building, it there and there it must remain for visitors and our own people to gaze upon. The receivers reported that the auditors had thrown out assets of the bank to the amount of $187,000. With a live institution, I risk the statement that half of this amount could be saved, could be collected for the benefit of the depositors. As a dead institution, people will not pay what they owe. The "Planet" account of the meeting continued: There was a ripple of applause as the speaker returned his seat. Mr. Lokey had shown that $192,000,000. This did not influence the amount that might be saved by a live institution cheering behind the pass-books of those accounts. It did bring the bond of $100,000 up by John Mendell, Jr. which would make the total $204,000 as a live institution and eventually enable each depositor to get dollar for dollar. It made it reasonably certain that the 50 per cent. waiver, would only be temporary and with this waiver of the receivorship and the bank repossage, in the last equation each and every disposition which get every penny they had agreed to proposed to receive the appurtenal of the debt. THE NEW YORK AGE feast again. After the rigid scrutiny that the internal affairs of this institution has received from auditors and receivers and State officials, it would seem that the worst has been revealed as to its affairs. If after such examination, there appears a possibility of saving the depositors' money by taking the concern out of the costly and wasteful operation of a receivership, it would be for the best interests of the depositors to do so. We shall be glad to have to record such an issue to the proceedings and trust that it will include a vindication of the good faith and honest purpose of the president, who has been held responsible for the alleged shortage. It is to his credit that he has never attempted to evade this responsibility and has pledged his personal holdings to meet any deficiency. A week or so ago a Washington dispatch reported that A. L. Remmel, Republican National Committee man of Arkansas, called on President Coolidge to bring to his attention the Negro migration movement from the South. He reported that farmers and business men of the Southern States are alarmed over the labor shortage caused by the exodus and that a request is to be made for legislation by Congress to stop it. Think of that suggestion emanating from a member of the National Republican Committee. Mr. Remmel, we fear, is one of that class of political mossbacks who emerge from the obscurity of their Southern retreats once in every four years in order to put in an appearance at the Republican national conventions and file their claims for political patronage to be parceled out after election. Apart from this, they differ in no wise from the white Democrats among whom they live and to whose sentiments they defer in the appointment of Federal officials. But even such a mossback as Mr. Remmel was reported as doubting whether such legislation as he suggested would stand the test of the courts. His further suggestion to the President was "that a committee of representative Negroes be appointed to educate their people to remain in the section of the country where they are appreciated and can live long and prosper." This is pure bunk coming from the representative of a State, where the story of the so-called Elaine riots is still fresh in mind. Where was Mr. Remmel when the Negro tenants on shares, who sought to secure an accounting in the courts for their crops, were shot down and imprisoned and sentenced to death on the trumped up charge of rioting? instead of merely declaiming that "the best friend of the Negro is the Southern white man who knows him," Mr. Remmel should present concrete proof of his proposition by sechring a square deal for the Negro crop tenants of Arkansas. The Chicago Whip has taken up a new role as sensor of journalism. In a recent issue it said New York's backward and antediluvian journalism is a source of regret and disgust to those who are hoping for great things from a great people. Fred Moore, of The New York Age, can be excused for his diagnotic access and relational mistake, because he is to the old school, but George Harris, of the New York News, having had the advantage of the best training that America affords has committed an upwardable offense which reeks of yellow. When the Whip refers to any other paper as yellow, recall the old case of the not calling the kettle. fast again.

A week or so ago a Washington dispatch reported that A. L. Remmel, Republican National Committeeman of Arkansas, called on President Coolidge to bring to his attention the Negro migration movement from the South. He reported that farmers and business men of the Southern States are alarmed over the labor shortage caused by the exodus and that a request is to be made for legislation by Congress to stop it. Think of that suggestion emanating from a member of the National Republican Committee.

COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS The Chicago Whip has taken up a new role as censor of journalism. In a recent issue it said: "New York's backward and antediluvian journalism is a source of regret and disgust to those who are hoping for great things from a great people. Fred Moore, of The New York Age, can be excused for his flagrant errors and palpable mistakes because he belongs to the old school, but George Harris of the New York Times is one of the best training that America affords has committed an unappreciable offense which reeks of yellow. When the Whip refers to any other paper as yellow, it recalls the old case of the pot calling the kettle black. On the first page of this same issue appeared a flaming headline in red ink across the page—"Holds Wife for Lover to Stab." The other news articles on this page included a sequel on South Side, an account of two women in a razor shaking, a fraternal man charged with rape, fatal cutting of husband by wife in Philadelphia, a fatal shooting on Stage street, trial and conviction of a Greenville, S. C.'man for killing a policeman, and an African prince jailed on a charge of fraud. It looks as if the Whip ransacked the news for a collection of crimes committed by the race. If this is not yellow journalism, the term has lost its meaning. And this sort of thing seems to be characteristic of too many of our race journals. The Philadelphia Trifune contends that Governor Pinchot was "a fathing" when the mayor of Johnstown issued his lawless edict. It added: According to the be authority about 1,500 victims left the city. It is impossible for people to leave anywhere sacrificing jobs and possibly homes in a hurried exit without suffering loss. The mayor or his police officers should pay the damage. The fortunate souls who left should not be forced to hear the brunt of a cruel, despotic Mayor. Every dime that was lost, every ounce of suffering caused should be paid for in full. This puts a more serious aspect on the matter than we had supposed. If the Governor is still fishing, or cutting bait, the counts might have a say in a suit for damages based on expulsion from the city. In discussing the results of Governor Walton's fight against the Kw Klux Klan in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma City Black Diaspach in Walton's expose of klan methods and practices has made it in a NATIONAL DISGRACE TO BE A KLANSMAN. Men may not acknowledge it in the open, but the acknowledgment and conviction is where it ought to be: IN THE HEARTS AND CONSCIENCE OF MEIN. Who is there to question the man who is the military court? Who is there now who can be stands looking for justice? What must be in its hilarious mischief, but can say in the language of the Scriptures that "They are hunged while sequestrates, which while beautiful on the outside are within full of dead men's bones and all unwholesome." The same thing might be applied to the revelation of the Gates. Under the Obligation of Congress, power must be given to the public to judge Commuting on the morning against Negro migrants in South Bank, Ind., and Dalhousen, Pa., the Star of Zion said that those two incidents were being used by Southern pagers to discourage others from going North. It added That seems to size up the situation with cleaners and sanity. Migration will continue until living conditions are made more tolerable for those who are now "shoved" out of the South, as a Detroit publication put it. Referring to the reduction made in Southern representation in the next Republican National Convention; the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: It is expected that there will be mighty few Afro-American delegates in the Republican National Convention next year. There will be but few if we accept tamely the rule of the Lilywhites which will not our delegates elect, and District and District no qualify. We should not allow it in any Southern State, without one of the greatest political fights we ever made. It is a time to fight. Virginia is one of the Southern States where the Republican party without the Negro can only be compared to the play of "Hamlet" with the title role omitted. The elimination of C. Bassom Stemp as the only Republican representative in Congress was one of the results of the lilywhite tactics adopted by the Virginia Republican state convention. The Cincinnati Union headed its comment on a recent murder trial by this quotation. "The female of the species is more deadly than the male." Its reason for this was that nine women en a jury held out for hours to send John L. Hunter to the electric chair for killing a policeman. It said: In regard to the case. Many features stand forth prominently and afford valuable lessons to the thoughtful. The bullying propensities of the average policeman, his scar-like actions "in the black belt" would be astounding were they not so common. Hunter, not simply standing in the street, not disorderly, was driven into the house like a dog. He went in muttering, it is said, "Nobody can make me go to bed." The policeman followed. None could see what happened, but Hunter Kump and God the angel of strangle, the sounds of the hunter emerged running for life! Later, when captured and brought into court, his head showed evidence of bruising, battering blows. Brutal police methods beget desperate reprisals on the part of their victims at times. Judging from the comments of the Union, the Cincinnati police have much to answer for in this respect. Hunter escaped the death chair by a recommendation to mercy, brought about by the holding out of one man and one woman on the jury. Peace Between Black and White. (From The New York Evening Post). Chicago's Negro population, according to a special writer in the Chicago Tribune, has been raised by the continued heavy migration from the South until it now exceeds the Negro population of New Orleans or Baltimore. Conservative estimates place it at 150,000 or a bit less; some estimates reach 200,000. The South Side Negro district has widened rapidly. The Hull House section is being taken over by blacks, while at least one suburban village is almost wholly Negro. The writer finds an equally remarkable growth in other Northern industrial cities. Detroit for example, now has 50,000 Negroes. We recently heard that South Carolina had lost 50,000 Negroes in six months, turning the racial balance in favor of the whites. But the most interesting aspect of the Tribunes' gistle list has it says for two years have we had a series of two years between Negroes and whites in the North, or a bloody clash in the South. We have to go back that far to the Birmistable mob in Massachusetts and the killing of five Negroes in a riot in August, Ga. The Negroes of Rosewood, Fla., were driven from their homes last spring, but only one was shot. At the same time Negroes were driven from Birmiston, but this way the Negroes were driven from Rosewood. The Negroes of Negroes from the South during the war revolted in a series of disgraced race battles—in Washington, Chicago, East St. Louis, Omaha, and other cities. The second marvel has had no such consequence. At the last meeting of the National Urban Teague a new congressional year far ahead of Fosters you or some of the readers of your paper on origination on a few particular occasions at a time longer than little hear. To start with, what is the matter with charity as practiced in Harlem by colored people? Are the representative colored people doing their full duty toward the mors unsuitable of our race? Is the noble word of charity being used for advertisement purposes by unservious and designing business men? Are our representative colored women and men being used to further the malicious business methods practiced by these individuals? Are the representative colored women and men doing charity work only because there a chance of murder? Finally reached the stage of the survival of the fittest where, it means the slow process of elimination of those, who don't come up to requirements as to social standing? Sweet Charity, Noble Charity, with all the happiness it has brought to multitudes of people, donors and recipients, seems to be taking a step backward as it is being practiced among our group in Harlem. I am enclosing a circular announcement of the names of the antiques of the Japanese Colored Relief Committee. You will note carefully the names of the patrons and patroness. Quite an array of the elite don't you think? You will also note there is large print and small print. Appearing in small print is "Japanese Colored Relief Committee," and in bold large type appears "At Comic's Inn." Oh, well, maybe in this instance it would be where the thing was being given, than to know what was being given, hence the large and small type. There is no denying, and absolutely no debate, on the question of charity being a good thing, but in dispensing charity should we leave a field fertile with possibilities of doing some real good and carry our offerings to a foreign field where there seems to be a abundance of charitable offerings pouring in? Why the Jim Crow announcement ("Japanese Colored Relief Committee") anyhow? Harlem affords a wonderful field for fortunate colored people to do some real charitable work for the unfortunate. Without belitling the needs of Japan at this time, can anyone overlook the needs of colored Harlem? Doesn't it rather look like the blind helping out the cripple? Thinking of the array of representative colored people billed as patrons and patronesses, it appears that wonderful committees, made up and assigned to their vocations could do some real good in a charity sense. For instance: the doctors could form a committee of the ladies without professions to go about in their leisure hours and find some of the poor colored families with a possible member medical attention. The doctors answer: We have hospitals for that, and I would then answer. Yes, we have, but no doubt we would be surprised to know the deaths among our people brought on by neglect due to the fear and horror that some people hold for hospitals. The colored ladies could come in very handy in helping the new arrivals in our midst to believe that a trip to a hospital in the North doesn't mean sure death, but delay does. Then again, the colored doctors might work out a plan whereby a poor colored family could get one of their number to come and treat them after one or two o'clock at night. On the list of patrons and patronesses there appear doctors, musicians, entertainers, pugilists and social workers. Quite a bunch of talent there. A wonderful entertainment for charity could be gotten out of that bunch. But you were successful in my mind have found a real charitable undertainment, not a social gathering where there would be nothing but snubbery, gotten together and handled so that even those it was given for would be afraid to go to it. Speaking of social register methods being used in works of charity, reminds me of an incident that happened not so very many years ago. A gentleman ran a cabaret and a group of the everyday visitors (I happen to be one) got together and worked on a plan of help to a certain charity. We formed a club and created the office of a judge, rather than a president, was chosen as judge of the club. We went to the law breaking among our group. Several times a day we would go through the routine of arresting prisoners and bring them before the judge to be tried. They were found a small amount of money and the money was taken in at our trials was dropped in a locked glass collection box pervaded by the certain charity and turned over to them, the sad, yet humorous part of it was the board on the committee wouldn't come to collect the money, claiming that they could not be seen entering a dive and we had to carry the money to the charity house itself. What difference we find today I had the pleasure of playing music for an extraordinary charitable entertainment once in Philadelphia where a multimillionaire laugh out the open, and a lady with a business ladies acted as bar maids, and the society men acted as bell hope, etc. If the representative colored women are going to lend their help to further the advertisement of nefarious business, methods which some good well thinking people have seen fit to speak out against, they might well simulate the charity arrangements I'm writing of that come off in Philadelphia and go them one better. Why plait it at? Here's a wonderful opportunity. I suggest the patrons and customers tie together and hang the heads of the Lenox avenue soft drink (7) parlours, and those on Seventh avenue, and ask them to set aside a day for some sort of charity, and I'm sure the ladies and gentlemen being in the barrends and barrends would do get a business, as I'm sure it would be unique in the extreme. the hard-soff hootch houses and an Inn keeper who seems to have taken on a sudder burst of charm instinct, finding a ready and eager response from some who have here have shown a woolful lack of interest in charity as pertaining to our own price. As President of the Co-op Charity Owners Association I may be right and rightly so), well, why do you people do something for charity I would then answer. We would have, and we are going to. And when we do, I hope that our representation colored women and men would denly be transformed from scary and kind people into harmless people and people that affair but we can afford to seen with those low people, our standing won't permit it. I may, also add, that all institutions had been made to give entertainment for charity, but just we had our plants well laid we put at a disadvantage and pretend to be the handed deals of a national or of our group and we are just coming from a position that looks hopeless, but glad to say we are but surely coming out well. Oh, well, I guess its up to us on and do the best we can and worrying about the other tellers really I would like for one of the patrons or patronesses of our paper to enlighten me in the question. What is the matter with Charity practiced by our Group? LONNIE HICK Pres. Colored CABNET Owner Poor Sportmanship. FROM NEW YORK WORLD Those who saw Washington and Jefferson play Lafayette at their Grouns last year are likely to remember he game as a perfect opportunity of all kinds methods for tack and defense, and to forget the work of Lafayette at tugback for W. and J, and he led his team through a spirited rally in the last quarter. West led to inspire his hagging mate, ing and running with such skill change defeat into victory in the minutes of play. I was able to more striking because West was a powerful Negro. Because or West's presence in the W. and J. line-up Saturday, at eleventh hours, Washington and Lee declined to play the scouted game at Washington, Ta. Supporters then from Lexington, had come from pennsylvania knowing of it to press in the field. The coach from Virginia regretted calling in his men to be acting on instruction from Lexington. The Virginians did not try to play until it was certain West would not be withdrawn from the line-up. They made overtures to have him withdrawn. It is unfair to say that Washington and Lee was inspired by a desire to dispose of the enemy's champion with a single blow. It is not unfair to say they were not that good enough to defeat at hands of one they regarded as a social inferior. And it is not unjust to say that as Virginians they maintained a staunch rabid, and as sportsmen they deprived themselves of all claim to recognition among that who maintain the brightest tradition of sport.

A Popular Policy. Notice the appearance of a peculiar person seems to be controlling the operation of Connie's Im in the basement of the Lafayette Theatre building. It has been rumored around for some time for the management of this cabaret room, deserts of having colored panels on the off nights, that is the nights the patronage is not heavy. Permission position to know have hinted that occasion as Saturday and Sunday, when large numbers of the whites are visitors, there are the places that extend a more cordial relationship to colored customers than Sidney is given to these rumors the reception accorded to one of the best colored men in New York City. Gilpin, whose work in the Imperor Jones," has won the worldwide wide fame. Wishing to meet these courtesies to a California hotel in New York, in return for his kindness enjoyed by him, he last season in California, and wife invited the Californians to their guest on a visit to Grant Inn on Sunday evening. Bob Sawyer of the B. A. was also a member of the party. The sure of securing comfortable accommodations for his guest, Mr. Gilpin, the precasion of making presentations for a table, arranging for Haven's "Kid" Griffin, who is adoring the manager. Finding such accommodation, that he would be able to guests the facilities of the Gilpin piloted them to the night on Sunday. He opened the door and started him. He was stopped by a white man at the door alongside a man who ordinarily keeps the white man asked in harm to tones. "Where are you I am?" said Mr. Gilpin. "Here?" said the Mr. Gilpin composed by saying that he had attention for his party. The door replied that it made sayout the reservation as would not be admitted. Mr. Gilpin asked that Managert Grifin was informed that Gelfin was no good. The white man asked as well, when asked as he was. Harry Goodman, and what I woke no difference, what I saw you, and Griffin can I say you in place is crowded and there for you. Mr. Koch standing the swearing and military project made by Mr. Chigli, Mr. Koch again swearing the plea of the defendant would not permit the GI- force to enter the secret proceedings of the Court. Inc. recently received for the the esteemed property one Counts house group of ancient buildings of whom is abovethis territed with the above- presentation, himself joining the Army of the United States, and this "army" is intended to be equipped in one organized individual branch as in Harry Goodman." It is a matter of objectivity, of course, as to whether or not the Harry Goodman of the Gibbon incident and the Harry Goodman of the mysterious Incarnate are in any way connected. It is an interesting coincidence, to my heart. Certain it is that the question accorded Mr. Gibbon and his army placed the distinguished actor in the harrowing position. It is hard to reconcile the attitude of the Courier's law management with the real they employed to get a license to operate in Hibernia unless it means that they are doing so only to exploit the Negro entertainments and musicians employed in that resort, up to the shrewd parity from the other side, to truss as evidence of licensed discovery and defending revelry committed and commanded in by Marquis. It is asserted on good authority that following the harving of the Gliph party, many others were freely admired, but it was not overstory that those admired were all of the Commissary. In other words, it would seem that Negro guests are not welcome on nights when the cabins are occupied, and those who apply for admission are sorted out and passed upon by the great man himself the masterman Goodman. Charge Realtor With Illegally Holding $300 Paid On House han property, but who was addressed by him a "Miss Pedro." Refusing to agree to the higher price, however, Miss Hooks damned the review of the $800. The court was denied her, however, the claim being set up, the alleges, that the money had been paid over to Rosal, and that his daughter, the young woman referred to, had gone to consult a lawyer to protect the owner's interest. *Miss Hooks, however, with her sister, Mrs. Boon L. Little, took the trip up to Nappersham and had an interview with the owner himself. Mr. Rosal decided, they say, that his house was for sale, and repudiated Davis as his agent. He disclosed that last July negotiations between himself and Davis were broken off because the owner demanded a $500 for selling the property at $14,000, and that since then he not only had not seen Davis, but had withdrawn his property from the market as his (Rosal's) son was to live with him. The house is now being renovated for the son's occupancy. Again Miss Hooks called on Davis, this accompanied by both her sister and a brother, Ted A. Hooks, and demanded the return of her money, letting him know that she interviewed the owner. But her request was of no avail, she charges, and Davis would not refund the money. As a last resort, she went to the District Attorney's office, land her case before that official and secured an appeal for Davis which was unruinable on Monday, October 11, at the Washington Heights Court. Davis was not present in person, but a lawyer, claiming to represent him, appeared and asked for an adjournment for a week. The judge, after hearing the nature of the charge, affixed his request, but gave, the attorney, two days to produce his client with the money belonging to the plaintiff, ordering him to appear in court on Wednesday, October 10. Following this action, Mia Hooks alleges that attorney representing Davis approached her and made a strong effort to persuade her to come to his office, promising to arrange to have the money there for her, but his pretense, that he was trying to act for her good did not avail to persuade her to accept the invitation. She advised him that the court room suited her as a settling place.

Quite a gathering at Sidney, Park Church Sunday, September 10, to thrash out the contention of the buying of ground by the School Board of some ground near the Pentestary, on which to locate Howard School. It was brought out that it was to promote the interest of the young idea by moving the school from the present pentestary to the jail to oo near the pentestary. The present school building has furnished a state with the spirit of the brain that the colored people in it was required in the past, in that it was given by the late Gen. O. O. Howard somewhere about 1868 or 70, for the education of the colored youth, as also were other, places throughout the South. Why, there are some people here who have gone to "that old school," who have great grand-children in there now, same sitting in the same seats their foreparents sat in. Some very spiky talks were made. The result was that a committee was appointed by the chairman in years before School Board with their committees. We hope that the nature of this committee will not be as heretofore speak with their mouths and hold out their hands in the back for shut mouth reward, as in case of Cherry Cola a few years ago.
