(By Staff Correspondent of The Age). Washington, D. C.—Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., whose removal from the Negro Veterana' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., has been asked, is accused of playing a peculiar game of politics to win the appointment of superintendent. To support their charge that Crossland has been guilty of intrigue those seeking his dismissal have produced letters written by the physician to United States Senators and other high Government officials, and said to be of an incriminating nature. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, is one of the chief protestants against a continuance of Dr. Crossland's presence at Tuskegee. This was made known when the head of Tuskegee recently sent the following telegram to A. L. Holtsey, his secretary, who COLORED WOMAN NOW PRIVATE SECRETARY TO HARLEM BANKER COLORED WOMAN NOW PRIVATE SECRETARY TO HARLEM BANKER Mrs. Richardson, Expert Stenographer, Wins Place With Mr. Rapp, Chelsea Exchange Bank. One of the busiest institutions in Harlem is the Chelsea Exchange Bank at 135th street and Seventh avenue. This bank serves more small depositors and small business establishments than any similar institution in this section of the city. Under the leadership of its new president, Edward S. Rothchild, the Chelsea Bank has just completed one of his most successful years. Mr. Rothchild became president in September, 1922, after having been presi'ent of the Public Bank for ten years. He regarded as one of the ablest bank officials in New York. The Chelsea Exchange Bank was organized in 1903, with its main office at 260 West, 34th street, and a branch at 1600 Broadway. The Harlem Branch was opened May 1, 1912, with Charles G. Rapp, who is now vice-president, as manager. Mr. Rapp became the branch continu'ing since its opening. He is now assisted by L.C. Heims, the present manager, and an able corn of iters. Recently Mrs Florence de L. Richardson, an expert stenograpehr and social worker, was given employment in a secretarial capacity. During, the absence of Mr Happ's private secretary, she was given opportunity to fill the position, which she was given permanently upon the resignation of his former secretary. Mrs. Richardson is probably the only colored woman in New York holding a position of this kind. Disclaims Proludice. In a recent interview with a representative of The Age, Mr. Rapp stated that the Harlem Branch of the Chelsea Exchange Bank ahs always served its depositors without regard to race or creed "A number of colored depositors," he said, "have charged the bank with discrimination who favors were denied them, the bank is a colorless neighborhood and most of its depositors are coed, a policy of discrimination, because of race would be suicidal." he continued "Because of the state banking laws, all loans must be made under certain stipulated rules, and whenever a colored depositor comes up to these requirements, he can get a loan as read as anyone else" This branch has sought to encourage thrift among the people of this section, and has made a feature of its Special Interest Department, where anyone may open an account with the bank. The banking hours have been arranged for the convenience of depositors, they are 9 to 4, every day, except Saturday, closing at 1 that day. The bank is requested for deposits on Monday evenings from 8 to 10, and from 8 to 10.30 on Saturday evenings. The Chelsea Exchange Bang has a strong responsible board of directors, headed by Herbert DuPuy, who was former chairman of the board of the Crucible Steel Company. A new issue of stock was recently authorized and the stock, which formerly sold $60 per share, was valued at $120. The resources have increased to over $120,000,00 and indications are that 1924 will be an even better than the one just ended. was made known when the head of Tuskegee recently sent the following telegram to A. L. Holiday, his secretary, who happened to be in the East: "Developments to-day make it imperative that this man be ordered from here at once otherwise there will be more serious trouble than anything yet had. This is due to developments to-day. Has done some things which might cause his immediate arrest. Even more serious complications may arise if he is not removed. Urge this for me. (Signed) "R. R. MOTON." The possibility of a Negro becoming superintendent of the Veterans Hospital in the future is no secret. The report going the rounds is that Major Ward of Indianapolis, recently appointed head surgeon of the hospital, will assume the duties of the Dr. Griffith, the present commanding officer, who is highly spoken of by Negroes. The National Negro Medical Association has not favored Dr. Crossland for the place, and in his efforts to land the plum he has been playing a lone hand.

YOUNG POST MEMBERS THREATEN IMPEACHMENT ACT Rumors of Dissatisfaction Over Election of Walters Are Rife and Action Impends. Members of the Col. Charles Young Post, No. 398, American Legion, who were not present at the annual election held Thursday evening, February 10, at the Post headquarters, 2350 Seventh avenue, are reported to be considerably wrought up because of the election of Thomas H. Walters, formerly Post commander, as county representative. Walters, who was the first commander of the Post, was deposed from that office on March 21, 1923, after serving less than three months of a second term, because of alleged irregularities in the matter of handling claims of unemployed and disabled veterans for compensation from the state. The specific charge was that Walters compelled these men to pay him a commission for signing their vouchers. As Post commander his signature was necessary to establish their right to compensation. A considerable number of the members, including some of those who were present, as well as those who were not, voice the opinion that the Post will lose standing and prestige with the county, state and national organizations if it were disregarded, as though to a formerly disregarded official and that, too, it is alleged, when that official has not cleared up the circumstances which surmounted his impeachment. Some of the men who voted for Walters in the recent election, which followed upon an impassioned speech which he made to the Post, declare that the charges against the former official were never proven, and explain their support of him as being activated through sympathy. No answer was given to the question as to why he had been originally deposed, if the charges of malfeasance were unevident. The charges current to the effect that certain of the Post membership are determined that they will put themselves on record as opposing the rehabilitation of Walters and to that end it is said that a move is being planned to prevent him from serving as county representative. HARLEM HOOTCH HOUNDS BOAST OF CONTROL OF PROHIBITION OFFICERS Lack of Cooperation Between Federal Enforcement Agents and Local Police Force Is Evidenced by Developments in the Hootch Situation Particularly in Harlem. RAIDS ARE CONFINED TO "LITTLE FELLOWS" WHILE BOOTLEGGING KINGS, AS LOUI, MOE, HYMAN, "CHIEF," ETC. ARE ALL UNMOLESTED. New Agents Sent by Revenue Authorities Into the Harlem District Are Accompanied by Old Agents, Through Whom Contact with Bootleggers is Established. Recent raids by prohibition agents in Harlem show a seeming lack of cooperation on part of Federal agents with the local police authorities. In a number of instances it is alleged that where the police officials have taken the initiative they have not received the support of government men. Another phase of the situation is pointed out by those familiar with Harlem conditions, who say that such raids as are made are directed principally against the small fry—the home bootch makers, for instance—and that the big fellows, the king pins in Harlem's bootlegging activities, such as Loni, Hyman Mills, Goldgraben, and the cabane propellers, Comile, Levy, and others, are let alone. The significant feature of this is that these big bootleggers boast openly of their control over official activity and their consequent immunity from punishment. The Enforcement Bureau, of the Prohibition Department seems to be rekting quietly and unconcernedly under the imputation that its agents are on the "Payroll" maintained by the bootch bounds, notwithstanding that the boldness and brazeny of the operations by bootleggers make it possible. Even the most casual passerby to know what is going on. Camouflaged Changes. REV. T. S. HARTEN IS ACQUITTED OF ASSAULT CHARGES REV. T. S. HARTEN IS ACQUITTED OF ASSAULT CHARGES In the Kings County Court, on Thursday, January 18, the Rev. T. S. Harten, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, DeKalb and Franklin avenues, Brooklyn, was acquitted of the charge of assault preferred against him by two of his members, Mr. and Mra. Page of Putnam avenue. The charge grew out of a sermon that the pastor preached, denouncing gambling among those that a church members were crap shooters. The Pages took exception to some alleged references which they claimed reflected on them, and charged that in a church meeting called to take up the matter the pastor had assaulted them with a chair. Attorney Rufus L. Perry represented Rev Hartun. After testimony was given by the pastor, the court dismissed the charges, ruling that further testimony was unnecessary. Character witnessesummoned Mr. Selfie of Dr. Krause included William Montroe Troter of Boston, and a number of the Brooklyn pastors. None, however, were called to testify, nor did Attorney Perry make a plea, for his christ EDMONDS ACQUITTED ON HOMICIDE CHARGE Edward Edmonds, a colored Brooklyn street cleaner, who was charged with homicide in killing another street cleaner, Philip Gorman, white, on December 3, at Nostrand and DeKalb avenues, was acquitted by a jury in the Brooklyn courts and he has been restored to his position in the Street Cleaning Department. Edmonds was defended by Attorney Rufus Lewi Perry of 375 Fulton street. The evidence showed that the two men were at work, and that Edwards went away for a while and on his return was upbranded in which it is alleged a Gorman was struck by Edwards and knocked down. In falling, his head struck the curb, death resulting, it was charged, from the fall. Attorney Perry was complimented by court attaches for his handling of the case. Prin.

Camouflaged Changes. About the only thing the bootleggers do that gives any evidence of a knowledge that there is such a thing as law enforcement is to occasionally change the character of the business which serves as a camouflage for hooth selling agents. The front is gradually giving way to sea food, hot dog and hammer sandwiches, and to the roast chicken rotisserie. The boatings of the bootleggers seem to have some tangible foundation, for it is freely rumored around the streets of Harlem that whenever warrants for raids are issued by enforcement agents the impounder is called the men concerned in Harlem before even the ink of the signature on the warrants is dry. Theference is that there is a direct connection of some sort between the law breakers in Harlem and the law enforcers down town. Certain it is that raids of the places where hooths are found unlimited hooth shows a dearth of the stuff when officers get there. Advance information received has enabled the hooth hounds to remove all of the hooth to safe places for temporary storage. As soon as the railing party has come and gone the hooth joint is again supplied and the clamoring clients are able to get all they ask New Man "Introduced." The heads of the prohibition forces seem to think that changes in the personnel of agents will secure desired results, but when new men are assigned to the Harlem district, it appears that old agents are sent along to show them the new agents and to develop, in the meantime, to develop, seems to consist mainly in putting the new men in touch with the bootleggers under the same circumstances which obtained with the old men. This makes it possible for the bootleggers to make arrangements for "protection" and save themselves from being bothered by the new agents. The bootleggers succinctly remarked recently. Big money can make any of these birds fly into a cage." Hyman is extending his activities into the cabaret business, according to information from bootlegging circles. He is interested with one Levy in the Club de Luxe at 142° street and Lenox avenue, formerly Deluxe Cabaret. Deluxe Cabaret had Jack Johnson as manager. The former heavyweight champion pupil did not prove the attraction its promoters thought he would be, so the De Luxe Cabaret went up the spout. Then Levy and Hyman came in, and are reported, to have spent some $27,000 in refurbishing this room in the hope of attracting a new audience. A Come in has done at the Inn conducted in the cellar at 131st street and Seventh avenue. Application to the Hercules Bureau for authority to operate may now recently by Levy backed up by Hyman but a considerable opposition developed and Commissioner Glazmayer reserved discussion on the application. It is known that the license to the costume is not yet known. Incredibly, considerable comment is caused by the freedom from molestation of the Italian bootch hounds on Seventh avenue and the fact that socialed shop houses, where bootch is known to be sold, are not interfered with. vision of a colored man, foreman of that department of Work. The chief expert in the assembling of the triple valve brakes on Pullman cars is a, colored man. He told also of the record made by a Negro lathe hand in the Buffalo shop, who turned out twenty-seven wheels in one day, creating a new record as against seventen previously turned out by a white worker in one of the shops. And he said that one of the best acetylene welders in the country was a colored man employed in the St. Louis shops. The Pullman Porter's Benefit Association of America is a beneficial organization, the membership composed of employees in the various divisions of Pullman service. It pays a weekly sick benefit and in case of death there is a $1,000 benefit paid to surviving heirs. The association has cash resources at present of more than $100,000, and only recently it deposited in one of the banks in Chicago conducted by colored men the sum of $10,000. John M.

The company provides a social worker in each shop, guarding interests of the employees, providing recreation outlets, etc., for the workers. In his address, Mr Parker brought out some interesting facts. The Negro employees are engaged in every department of the company's activities, including the electrical division, the upholstering, painting, carpentry, cabinet making, mattress, laundry and machine departments.

In almost every case her miracleous care were of people unknown in the neighborhood. So far as Harlem is concerned, her principal work was relieving poor and grillife, people of their hard earned savings. Thousands of Harlemites bought handkerchiefs at 15 cents each, which Sister Harreld was supposed to have blessed, and many others bought her photos at 10 cents each. In addition she always took one or more collections before she would begin her healing service. In this way it is alleged that she received an average of $1,000 per day during, her stay in New York. It is known that she paid the owners of the Commonwealth Casino a weekly rental of around $1,000, using that hall every day and evening except Saturday evenings. The Age opposed her at the time on the ground that she was mercenary and did the community little or no good.

Dr. Theophilus Gould Stewart, formerly a chaplain in the United States army with rank of captain; a member of the Wilberforce faculty both before and after his army service, and well-known as an author and linguist, died here January 11. He was in his 81st year. Chaplain Stewart was born at Bridgeton, N. J., where the Stewart and Gould families had resided for many years. He attended school as Gouldtown, and at an Episcopal institution in Philadelphia, after which he went to a New York school to study Hebrew. He was accredited as being the most proficient in Hebrew of all the non-Semitic students. Later, he graduated from a divinity school in Philadelphia and became a member of the Wilberforce faculty He became an ordained minister for the M E. Church in 1864 at Philadelphia. Possessing an unusually faculty for the acquirement of languages, Mr. Stewart was sent to Haiti as a missionary, preaching to the natives on the French language. He was named as a chaplain in the regular army by President Harrison, and served as such for seventeen years. Serving in the Philippines, Chaplain Stewart did much of the Spanish translation for the government, being highly complimented by the War Department. Upon retiring from the army, with Mrs. Stewart, a tour was taken which included Mexico, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, after which Chaplain Stewart again took up his work at Wilberforce, remaining here until his death. He wrote several books, the best known being "The Revolution in Haiti," and "Fifty Years in the Ministry."

For Information Write MARK 99 Are You as Good as Your Confidentially, what I really meant to write as the heading of this article is—are you as good to yourself as to your car. But that title took too much space, so I am getting it out of my system in the first paragraph. You can choose either title you wish or like better, but I am going to write what I please. I have known other preachers to take a text, close the book, whoop for an hour or so, and ever say a word about the text. Here's where the whooping begins. In these "filver days most everybody has a car or a Ford and everybody who is anybody can talk and understand "car talk." Nowadays people are more sensitive about the condition and performance of their cars than about their own physical defects. You insult a man when you tell him his car rattles like a lail stork upon a tin roof, that it is "missing." "drawing oil," the car-treator needs adjustment, and shows many evidences of mechanical deprecipitate. On th. other hand, he usually thinks you are "kidding" him when you tell him he is losing flesh, has a cough, poor color and that he had better see a doctor. Every one who has a car wants it to last and perform perfectly as long as possible and he is willing to follow the rules laid down for the attainment of this end. Almost every one wants to live to a ripe old age and be comparatively free from sickness through the years. But how few give their bodies the same care they give their car. Rules of health are neglected and good advice goes by unheeded. But your car—that you oil at every 400 to 500 miles, you clean the spark plugs at regular intervals, have the carbon burned out ever so often, and do the many things necessary to keep your car in good running order. Why not give yourself the same care? Do you think more of your car than of yourself? Are you as good as your car? (Please note return to text). Now I am going to get personal. If you are under forty years of age, you should go see your doctor once a year for a complete examination. If inspector, Chicago, T.

Considerable significance is attached to the sudden action of Police Commissioner Ernight in preferring charges against the inspectors in charge of districts for permitting the sale of liquor to go unchecked. It is perhaps merely a coincidence that this action followed close upon the publication of an editorial in The Age of January 12, crime and hootch in Harlem, which closed with this recommendation: "Despite the failure of the Federal forces to stop the sale of hootch the attention of the Police Commissioner should be directed to the need of more detectives in Harlem to cope with the increase of violence." The attitude of the police as a whole toward the unlawful sale of hootch in Harlem has been on the side of law enforcement and the stamping out of this traffic. Inspector McDonald who has had charge of this district, has given full cooperation in the raiding of places selling hootch and turning the vendors over to be prosecuted under the Federal statute. Despite the occasional cases reported involving graft or extortion on the part of individual officers, the attitude of the police has been one of hearty cooperation with the effort to break up hootch vending in Harlem. If an equal degree of cooperation had been extended on the part of the Federal enforcement authorities, the conditions brought about by wholesale and retail hootch vending would not be so deployable today. It is claimed by those familiar with this traffic that the Federal agents are more susceptible to graft and their relations between them and the hootch vendors are on such familiar terms, as to be a matter of public comment. What is needed on the part of the Federal enforcement is the appointment of a different type of men as agents, who will not be carried on other than the government payrolls. Many centuries ago it was declared upon good authority, that no man can serve two masters. This saving is just as true today. If the Federal government cannot secure the proper kind of agents to enforce the Volstead act let the Congress repeal it and turn the sale of poison booth over to the states for regulation or suppression. Mr Volstead's successor in Congress seems to regard the act as a failure in the way of prohibition enforcement anyhow, although he is equally as rabid a chaser of the waterwagon as his predecessor. So far as Harlem is concerned the police officials appear to have done their best to cooperate with an impossible situation, judging by the numbers of arrests and raids reported. That these arrests and raids were unable to diminish the sales of poison booth is a matter for further consideration and the evolving measures to meet it. SAFEGUARDING BENEFIT FUNDS. The recent decision handed down by Justice Taylor of the Supreme Court for Westchester county marks another step in the safeguarding of the funds of beneficial organizations in this State. The suit was brought by Paul Bras against the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias in the matter of building a temple for lodge purposes and levying an assessment against members for that purpose. One of the points decided by the court was that "no authority appears to exist to the effect that rights which a member has under his benefit certificate may be taken away from him because of his refusal to pay an assessment not contemplated by the charter." There was no objection to the voluntary purchase of bonds by members, but those who tailed to purchase could not be legally suspended from benefits of the order. The investment of a portion of the "reserve fund" in vacant land, intended as a site for the temple, was held by the court to be "wholly illegal and improper." That fund was declared "sacred as a continuing security to those who hold benefit certificates." In giving judgment for the plaintiff the court restrained the defendant from enforcing the payment of the assessment of ten dollars, also from using further moneys in the reserve fund for the temple project, and directed the reserve fund to be restored by the sale of the site, or otherwise, within six months. This is a salutary and necessary lesson as to the limits to be preserved by trustees and other officers in the administration of benefit funds. The Age has for several years pointed out the necessity for safeguarding such funds through a proper system of accounting and auditing. Not only should the officers handling the funds give bonds through surety companies for their safe keeping, but the auditing of their accounts should be performed by competent auditors, preferably certified public accountants. An unusual feature of Judge Taylor's charge in the case referred to was the following paragraph, which we reproduce below: I was favorably impressed with all of the parties and witnesses in the controversy. They are persons of color, of splendid intelligence and well meaning, all of whom have availed themselves of the great opportunities, educational and otherwise which our common country affords to all of us, regardless of race or creed. I think it will be possible for all of those interested on both sides of the case to cooperate with one another, with the assistance of the learned counsel on both sides, to formulate some new, different and legal plan which will result in the building of the temple—a consummation which both sides of the controversy agree should be had as the temple is needed and should be built. With this judicial encouragement, the Pythians of New York State should be able to compose their legal differences and place the order high in the ranks of those beneficial organizations, which ensure safety and security to their members. A NEW "FORCE" BILL. We learn from the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Afro-American that a new force bill has been introduced into the United States Senate by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. It provides for the enforcement of the Fifteenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth amendments to the Constitution. It was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The full text follows "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. "Whoever shall for beverage purposes manufacture, sell transport, import, or export intoxicating liquor within into, or from the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof shall for a first offense be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not exceeding six months nor more than five subsequent offense shall be fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $2,000 and be imprisoned not less than six months nor more than five years, and such liquor shall be forfeited to the United States. "See 2. Whoever shall deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States or any State to vote on account of race, color, sex, or previous condition of secrethood, for a first offense, be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or for a second or subsequent offense shall be fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $2,000 and be imprisoned not less than one month nor more than five years, and such person shall be denied the right of suffrage in any State or national election "Sec. 3 All laws inconsistent with section 1 of section 2 of this Act are hereby repealed. "Sec 4 This act shall take effect and be in force from and after the passage and approval of the Act" The first socalled "Force" bill was introduced in Congress during the first term of President Grant about 1870, following close upon the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, which made the South Republican Its adoption was opposed by the late James G. Blaine of Maine, who at the time was obsessed by the political ambition to become President. Mr Blaine never explained his opposition to this measure, which was intended to strengthen the hands of the President in his efforts to protect the Negro voter at the South We cannot gauge the sincerity of the movers of the present measure, which couples prohibition enforcement with the freedom of the ballot. It should commend itself to all sincere supporters of the Constitution on the face of it, but the Southern Senators will probably raise the cry of "social equality" against section 2. Think of accusing a Lodge of Massachusetts of introducing a bill to promote "social equality!" The question is who among the Republican Senators will repeat the role of Blame in preventing the measure from coming to a vote Watch for the Indian! A significant was recently offered by a New Yorker experienced in banking and real estate to the pastor of a local church anxious to enhance its capacity for religious work by creating a larger and more extended plant for religious and community work. The church in question is already in possession of property worth at least $100,000, practically free from incumbrance. The new edifice would require the expenditure of $300,000 to cover the cost of site and buildings. In addition to the $100,000 received from the sale of the present property another $100,000 could probably be borrowed at a low rate from the savings bank or similar institutions. In order to raise the last $100,000, it was proposed that bonds be issued to that amount, in amounts running from $100, or less, if deemed practical, to be sold to the members and friends of the church. These bonds would be secured by a second mortgage on the church property and would pay interest at the same rate as the mortgage, or better still save five percent, payable by coupons every six months. Church mortgages which are largely held by savings banks, are generally held to be one of the most reliable forms of investment. The interest as a rule is paid promptly and regularly and the principal is reduced at certain intervals, as the organization grows in strength and numbers. Seldom does it become necessary to foreclose a mortgage of this character, and when such occasion arises the property is readily disposed of at a price to cover the indebtedness. Loans to churches being such high class investments, there should be no trouble in disposing of church bonds to the members and friends of these institutions. In so doing the interest would be paid directly to those specially interested in the good of the organization. However, before embarking upon such an expenditure as the sum of $100,000, as planned in this case, a church budget of income and outgo should be carefully prepared, showing the capacity of the congregation to assume such a burden and to meet the demands for interest, in addition to the other items of church expenses. The idea of issuing bonds for church building strikes us as a sound one, if the details are properly worked out for the payment of interest and the establishment of a redemption fund to meet the payment of the principal. No congregation however should saddle itself with a burden of debt beyond its capacity for carrying. The extension of church facilities in Harlem is a work for the benefit of the whole community. If the church members can help this work along by taking bonds and paying interest to themselves, so much the better. It is worth while trying. ANOTHER READY LETTER WRITER. Undeterred by the humiliating experience of Perry Howard of Mississippi as a too ready letter writer to members of the United States Senate, Dr. J R A. Crossland of Missouri, now at the Tuskegee Veterans' Hospital, has essayed a similar role. His letters, however, were not aimed against the promoters of anti-lynching legislation. According to a special in the Baltimore Afro-American, they were merely designed to aid a political intrigue, through which Crossland might become the executive officer of the hospital. In one of the letters made public Crossland is represented as writing a certain Senator in this strain "I came down here to be Executive officer. A white man from Georgia is holding my place. If he were a Northern white man he would gladly get out of the way. "Please have General Hines to art without delay. I have been here over a month and ready in every way and prepared to not only take care of that office, but any other matter about the hospital there. There is nothing to fear now. "You ought to be able to imagine how humiliating it is that General Hines should have me standing around wait for more than a month to be given my position with no place to hang my hat or coat as an office. "I cannot continue to do this all night duty, as if I were some insignificant night watchman. Please see General Hines." The other letter attributed to him was signed "A Friend of Yours," and was sent to Senator Hiram Johnson. As quoted in this letter, which recommends Dr. Crossland as an aid to Manager Hitchcock it will be seen that the writer does not hate him self. It read in part "He is the best prepared man in the coiled race with friends almost in every State in the Union. He has never accepted a dollar from anyone in politics. If you could get your manager Mr. Hutchock, to see him you might be able to get a follow-up that no other man has had. He is stronger than any other man you could get. 'Please do not take a hand wag to see him. He is very peculiar in this way, strong in his likes and dislikes. He is highly intelligent.' Dr. Crossland has been a source of scandal and confusion since he was sent to Liberia as United States minister several years ago. His temperament and character are not such as to qualify him for public service of a dignified sort. He should seek the retirement of private life and drop political correspondence. HAITIAN SPIRIT STILL ALIVE That the spirit of Haitian independence is still alive despite the American occupation, maintained by United States marines and machine guns, is shown in the Broadside printed in the organ of national defence under date of December 31, 1923. This paper is a single sheet published daily at Port au Prince under the title, Le Courrier Haitian, and appears to be in its fourth year of publication. The article reads in French as follows: Le COURRIER HAITIEN capelle a tous que, tant compte de l'histoire trusts que nous vous nous aime de la grandeur de notre terroir en ce qui suit, fête au moment de la Que chère vous te remercie et prenez le resumption en ce jour de gouffre arrié la sare le lieu des bains, ses rattains ses amis et ses gouttes pour n'enisser que le lieu de votre malheureuse Patrie!

It is, above all, a profanation, a sacrilege, that there should pass in review an army under the command of the Occupation, at the feet of the statue of the Liberator, on the occasion of our independence. For us we swear on this solemn day to do our duty. "Long live free Hajj, independent and sovereign, nevertheless!" Long live the immortal heroes of 1804. DOWN WITH THE TR/ORS! Such a spirit as breathes in this proclamation cannot be subdued forever by marines and machine guns. It may be, as a prominent government official described the present Haitian regime, "the marines and the Receiver of Customs (an American) are running the island and there are no changes in prospect." Mr. Louis Borno occupies the office of President of Haiti by sufferance of the American occupation. What hidden influence keeps in force this despotic Democratic policy handed down from the Wilson administration, despite the repeated promises of the late President Harding that a change would be made? COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS The St. Louis Argus noted the successful inauguration of a new race enterprise in that city, as follows. Taxi cabs, controlled and operated exclusively by colored people in St. Louis, were given their first real service test during the holidays, and measured up to the remand perfectly. The Star Cabs, owned by Richard W Kent, gave service to hundreds of persons in various secties of the city every day and night. The taxis were so systematically handled that long waits were rare and the best and most courteous service was rendered. These cabs proved quite popular with the public which thereby places its stamp of approval on another new race enterprise. Every venture into new fields of endeavor is a step forward in the economic and industrial advancement of the race. The Buffalo American notes a growing independence among the race in that city. It said "There was a time when the race felt as if they owed everlasting allegiance to one party. But a different attitude prevails today. Many can be found as Socialist, Farmer-Labor, and Democrat." This condition is true of many cities besides Buffalo. ```markdown ``` Commenting on the cry of vapous speakers of the race that "we need power, the Pittsburgh American said: The road to power is no zig-zag course. It shoots straight ahead directly at a particular goal. A race traveling such a course must practice the diplomacy of straight-forwardness. It must have courage and exercise it. The pain the suffering the want and woe of pioneers must be endured. Power is not easily acquired by individuals, nations or races. They work for it. Some fight for it and wade through blood to secure it. Others make sacrifices to attain it. No crying no whining, no complaining alone will bring any race the blessing of power in this world of competition. The races and nations possessing power in the universe have devoted almost their entire existence to securing the blessing of self-government which means self-support. So must Negroes do if they ever supply their need and achieve their ambition for power. The possession of power implies the ability to use it wisely and for the advantage of the community at large. Power unless wisely wielded is a dangerous possession. --- The death of Chaplain Theophilus G.

Under the general caption, "The Wallace of the State," Lieutenant Commander George E. Braidie, of the United States Navy, native of Mississippi, now chief of the Division of Chart Construction, U. S. Hydrographic Office, Washington, has written two articles in which he makes a strong plea for the bettering of the condition of the Negro in the South. In the first, "The Burden of the Incompetence," given here, he makes the argument that the most evident of the white South to increase the earning capacity and improve the mode of living the Negro, declaring that if the per capita earning power of Negro is increased only $10 per annum per individual, the state will have $10,000,000 yearly added to its wealth. The articles will be printed in successive issues of The Age, the first being given below. By GEORGE E. BRANDT Lieutenant-Commander U. S. Navy Chief Division of Chart Construction Hydrographic Office Washington. PART I. THE BURDEN OF THE INCOMPETENT. Some time ago to a fellow citizen in Mississippi advanced the proposition, self-evident it seemed to me, that the welfare and happiness of the State is nothing more or less than the combined welfare and happiness of all the individuals who compose the State. The people are the State. Clear as this appears to me, my conversation with men in public life and the growth of certain influences in the State compel the observation that the proposition, whatever its status in theory, is not generally recognized in practice. It might, therefore, be well to discuss it here at some length. Any community may be roughly divided into two groups, overlapping to some extent and gradually merging into each other, the capable and the incapable. Society is so organized that, whether it be desired or not, the capable must bear the burden of the incapable. The measure of the standing of a community is not, therefore taken from the capabilities of the most fit but from the resultant of the capable component after deducting from it the burden of the incapable. Some time ago I was privileged to visit Los Angeles, a city with capabilities far exceeding any other of my acquaintance. Such marked superiority is only the expected result of the operation of the natural law mentioned above. It will be found that the preponderance of capabilities is overwhelming in Los Angeles. This is due to the fact that the city has grown with remarkable rapidity (from a population of 11,000 in 1880 to one of 750,000 today), and the influx has been of the most capable type. There is consequently a high degree of excellence from which only a small burden attaches in determining the capabilities of that city. Similar is the experience of all "new" and "growing" Communities. They are said to be "booming" when the resultant capability is rising because of inflow from the outside. In the shifts of population it is always the capable who move in search of fresh opportunity. The incapable stick to the old place like barnacles. We have here a simple explanation of the backward tendency of older Communities, as contrasted with the progressive spirit of the newer ones. Hence the adience so freely and generally given out in the last generation. "Go West, young man, go West." And the young men do go West and they are still going West in large numbers to add to the strength and vitality of that section of our country. Our own State of Mississippi according to the census of 1920, showed a decrease of population compared with 1910. This is a warning that the percentage of incapables is on the increase, and should awaken our interest and stimulate our study of this important question. Upon the proper solution of the problem growing out of it rests our future welfare and happiness. If the State of Mississippi is to advance we have got to look to the Welfare of the incompetent—to seek some means of advancing that important body of our citizens to the point at which they will become competent and thus add to the welfare of the State instead of having to be carried along as a burden. We have got to apply ourselves to the advancement of those of our citizens already competent that they may become more competent. Our most evident need is to better the condition of the Negro that his earning capacity mode of living, freedom from disease and hopefulness of outlook may be improved. There are more than a million Negroes in Mississippi. Their individual earning capacity is so small on the average, that by very little effort it can be greatly increased. If we increase the Negro's earning capacity only $10 a year on the average, surely not an impractical dream, we will add every year ten million dollars to the wealth of the State. But I believe that it can be increased a great deal more than this, and that if the problem be wisely approached and followed up with vigor and energy we can from this alone convert Mississippi from one of the poor States to one of the rich. If the Negro were advanced to the limit of his capabilities this State would be the garden spot of the world and there would be no Negro problem, for the simple reason that the Negro will have ceased to be a burden. The Negro problem, with all its various ramifications, exists only because the Negro is incompetent. Make him competent (and it can be done); enable him to stand alone and to carry his share of the burden; hold out to him the hope of reward, give him the means of securing happiness; do these things, I say, and he will solve his own problems to the infinite relief of our civilization. There need be no social equality of the races that scarecrow which continually rises to reard progress along same lines, and the Negro race will not want it any more than the white race. When I was a boy I used to listen to campaign oratory of which there was much. Painful similarity more than any other feature characterized the speeches. The candidate began with his record in the Civil War a record which no one saw fit to check up, so far as I know. He followed this with his views on the Negro question and invariably declared if it came to a question whether this was to be a white man's country or a Negro's country he, for one was in favor of making it a white man's country. He was in favor of keeping the Negro in his place. Generally, he did not believe in educating the Negro because by doing so you only spoiled a good plow hand. He ended his oration with a beautiful and poetic tribute to the bravery, virtue and beauty of our women. Nowadays the women can speak for themselves and are in some cases the candidate. We have come to realize that the State of Mississippi cannot live on her Civil War record alone. Let us wake up to the fact that the talk about white man's country and Negro country is all flapdooole, and that far from ruining a good plow hand educating along correct lines will raise the Negro out of the ranks of the incompetent and make him a much more well educated citizen. The future of the State of Mississippi is not in the hands of its leading statement, it is not in the hands of its preachers, doctors and lawyers, it is in the hands of the Jew's Negro whom too many of our well meaning citizens profess to despise. The greatest service we can do for the State is to strengthen his hands and his heart and his mind. A KANSAS NEGRO WHO MAKES $6,000 ON TWELVE ACRES The Story of RILEY ROGERS of Lawrence, Kansas, Told to Frank M Chase of Farm and Fireside. There are ages not much near of a farm for Kansas, but that much land has gone pretty well for me. The cash receipts from it year were slightly more than $0.00. It has not only sup- pended a large farm and provided for my old age but has also allowed me to education for my six children. I have to earn before coming here I worked for railroads be- fore I was a messenger box. During all those years I am in the job I seem that as a railway employee I ever would not miss my position I needed a union card. No wonder we are unreliable. Consequently I decided to get my money I earned I saw a good many vacant lots around Law- rence and acquired it to me that I could farm them. I went at it was twenty-five years ago. We have I have had has been bought with a lot of hard work. We have it is due as much to the aition I have given to return my residue as to growing it. We have began besides having no money and very little edu- cation I knew absolutely nothing about truck-gardening. Hoping I some suggestions I went to see some of the local men in the house. But from them I got a cold shoulder they didn't want a share in their trade. They couldn't present me from engagement mistakes however and I went ahead determined to trust them and by experience. Now there I had very little schooling, a good deal of my railway experience, in offices and this led me to pay more attention to the work of gardening than the other fellows were doing. I saw in example that they were not catering to their market; they should it order to get the best result. They weren't supplied in their customers with the right stuff in the right quantities at the right time. As a result the merchants would buy part of the stuff out of town growers after which the local gardener would have difficulty in recovering their trade. My aim is to supply everything the truck market demands even if they are some of my product. The return for the sweet crop and an order that I leave for example is less than the cost of a potator a gardener a little profit through the truck market cares. But I supply these products because the time to maintain my trade I have found that I can apply all the garden truck a more urgent needs he will continue to any time, and ot nobody else, year after year.

COLUMBIA - 1900 rious states told of the progress made in their communities along economic, educational and social lines. In some instances, however, the progress was nihil but there was yet hope that conditions would be improved in the near future. Of special interest were the methods used by John L. Clark of Monroe county, Georgia, and W. M. Long, of Douglas county, to "out-wit the ball weavil". The former related how he had "beat the pest" by changing his "money crop" from cotton to grain and the latter achieved satisfactory results by raising plenty of marketable products. Others however, were not as successful and had fought a losing battle but were not discouraged. After following the strenuous program of the morning, the noon day session, held in Tompkins dining hall, proved very popular with the "horny hand tillers of the soil" and each one participated whole-heartedly in the program which among other things were barbecued pork and Alabama yams. These were eaten, along with other delicacies, to the strains of music furnished by the institute band under the direction of Cantain F. L. Drive. Afternoon Session. At one thirty o'clock, headed by the institute band, the visitors in spite of the drizzling rain, marched to the institute chapel to "resume operations." Following a few "warming up exercises," Dr Moton welcomed the farmers to the institute saying in part "It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Tuskegee Institute for the thirty-third annual farmers' conference. No group of people is more welcome at Tuskegee institute than you who come here from year to year to attend the farmers' conference. Dr. Booker T. Washington, who founded the institute and organized this conference always used to say that Tuskegee Institute belongs to the Negro race. It was theirs to use and enjoy and he himself was never more happy than when he saw his own people walking about these grounds in quiet contentment and with pride in the accomplishments of their race. And, of course, we are all us glad of the presence of our white friends, and for this evidence of their interest and cooperation. Negroes Leaving South. We meet today in the midst of widespread unrest among the farmers of the South indeed among the farmers of every section who are feeling as never before the pressure of changing economic conditions. This unrest as you know is taking thousands of men and women away from the farm of the South into the industrial plants of the North and of the South as well Attracted by the prospect of high wages, regular employment and better living conditions, they have decided to give up the fight against the boll weevil, to leave the uncertainties of the present tenant system and the one-crop routine and to start all over again in the effort to improve living conditions for themselves and to secure better educational facilities and larger opportunities for their children. This migration has been going on now for at least eight years, beginning with the world war and continuing in fluctuating volume up until the present time. I have no doubt, my friends, that a great many of those who have gone North, East and West have greatly improved their condition by the change but from my observations on conditions in the North today and after sober reflection concerning the whole matter, I am wondering if a great many of those who have gone are not taking greater risks in the pursuit of happiness than they can well afford. Migrants Should Think Twice It is true that there has been and probably will be for a while at least, a large demand for labor in the North, but it behooves our men and women in the South to think twice before they are lured away from the un doubted advantages which the South offers. In the first place we must not ignore the unequaled opportunity to be found in the South for buying thousands of acres of good land at rates and on easy terms. Such an opportunity is not to be found anywhere else in the world and it is the kind of opportunities that is fundamental to the progress of any people. What ever the disadvantages which we face in the South in the last analysis they do not compare in importance with this fundamental asset of laying the foundation of progress in the soil. Now there is some danger that we may as a race in the experiment for change overlook this fact. The records show that two years ago Negreens in Georgia were paying taxes on 1783,814 acres of land and that the year afterwards they were paying taxes on 1628,475 acres of land a decrease of nearly 100,000 acres in one year. This I have no doubt is in large measure due to the heavy migration from that state and it is very probable that conditions are proportionately the same in the other sections. This condition has been brought about in many cases by persons who are buying land without having completely finished their payments; then when they decided to go North, they have allowed their payments to lagge and have surrendered their claim to the payments they have already made and the land goes back to the original holder. "In the face of these facts, there are two things that should be emphasized today. In the first place, let us continue the policy which Dr. Washington did so much to promote—of getting possession of the land. The South is a growing section; it is growing in agriculture and it is growing in manufactures and of one thing we can be perfectly sure and that is that we shall never have a better opportunity to get possession of this land than we have today. As years go by, the rich lands of the South will more and more come into possession of large corporations and individual holders of large means which will make it almost impossible eventually for the small land owner of limited means to again get possession of the soil. It is an axiom of society that the man who owns the land controls the government. Without it, there can be no solid; permanent progress. "The second point that shall be made is this, if economic conditions should force any of us to take advantage of the opportunities offered in industrial centers let us see to it that our claim upon the land that is left behind is secure. No better use can be made of the large earnings now offered in these industrial plants than to send the money back home for claims against the farm and the home. And where the home and farm are already clear, it is both wise and safe to buy more land. I have no doubt that a great many Negro farmers have just as much land as they can reasonably take care of; but I am equally sure that there are many more of my race who do not have enough land, or do not have any land whatever, who could profit greatly by taking this opportunity to secure their own share of farm property. In closing his remarks, Dr Moton introduced Colonel Jordan, who delivered one of the best addresses heard at Tuskegee. Declarations Adopted. The foll wing declarations were adopted The wisdom of Dr Booker T. Washington in establishing the Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference continues to be manifested in farming throughout the South. That the interest of the Negro farmers themselves in this conference has not waned in the least is clearly indicated by the increasing attendance from year to year The thirty-third Annual Conference finds an unrest presaging among Negro farmers paralleled only by that of direct result of this unrest, thousands of Negroes have left the South and have found employment in the industrial centers of the North. Many others have left the farms and settled in the manufacturing centers of the South. We would say to all the farmers of the South that these are changing times. In some sections there is much distress because of the boil weevil and other causes. On the other hand, while we recognize and appraise the opportunities offered in other industries, we would again call attention to the great and permanent opportunities on the farms. As was pointed out at the beginning of the migration in 1917 there are here millions of acres of land to be cultivated which can be acquired on very easy terms. On still more importance to us is the fact that because of the migration in the North and to the industrial centers of the South we are in danger of losing the housing which we have acquired in the soil. Because of this act also because of the progress which we have already made in and with the Tuskegee conference in the midst of the present unrest again says in the language of the great founder of the conference. Let down your lockets where you are. Let them down into the ownership of more land better farming and better homes We take this occasion to say, a further word about the causes of unrest and some suggested remedies. The causes for this unrest are varied. The primary one is economic. The wages paid in other industries are much higher and have therefore been a stronger factor in influencing Negroes to leave the farms. The tenant system on farming, the ravages on the boll weevil, the lack of standardized markets, the lack of proper sources of credit have also done much to induce Negroes to leave the farms. Another important reason which must be considered is the desire of farmers to educate their children. In spite of the improvements which are being made in the respect thereof, we still have a great desire to be done. We will have short school terms in many of the rural districts. There is still a wonderful lack of school buildings. These conditions make it difficult, and in some cases almost impossible for them to educate the children. Still an important issue is the need to from farms is the lack of protection afforded Negroes by constrained authority and the lack of justice in the courts. Mole rule makes life and property insure.

These conditions along with the poor housing have played an important part in causing the exodus of Negroes from the farms. We would especially urge upon the farmers of the South to diversify their crops. Let us not place our entire dependence upon cotton and in what we do grow let us follow the methods of successfully raising it under boll weevil conditions. We, as farmers and those interested in the development of agriculture in the South, must see to it that provisions are made so that landlords, bankers and farm loan cooperative associations will in some way help. Negro farmers to have sufficient money and credit to carry on diversified farming which is the basis of any permanent progress among farmers. work ter the effect school prece go go brave have rack race the ber and in nu- We commend that large and growing number of planters who are seeing to it that satisfactory settlements are rendered their tenants. It is only by providing good living conditions, educational facilities and sending just settlements that tenants can be made more contented and more valuable to themselves and to their communities. We also commend that increasing number of planters in various sections of the South who are assisting, financially and otherwise, in having good school houses erected for their tenants. We urge upon the tenants, increase your reliability, keep your contracts and engagements, be faithful to your families and see that your children attend school We urge upon all farmers, send your children to school regularly. Keep them in school until they have completed at least a high school course. We urge that the boys and girls who intend to follow farming be sent to agricultural schools for training. We urge that the farmers themselves follow closely the advice and instruction of the college experiment stations, agricultural experts, farm and home demonstration agents and agricultural teachers, attend agricultural short courses conducted by various educational institutions, provide wholesome recreation for your children, put forth every effort to carry out the slogan of this conference "Better farming, better business, better schools, better churches, better health, better homes" Those of us white and black, who are interested in the South's development must see to it that these conditions are remedied so that our people will be contented on farms. There should be better provisions mad. for tenant-just settlements to them should become the rule. higher wages should be paid labor more and better schools should be erected and school terms should be lengthened. Ample protection should be afforded under the law in the rural districts and justice should be rendered in the courts.

We wish to express our appreciation to the editors of the southern newspapers who have fought so bravely against misrule and other forms of lawlessness. We likewise express our appreciation to the Southern Commission on Race Relations and to other agencies and individuals who are working and sacrificing to bring about better relations between the races. It is also gratifying to note the remarkable decrease in the number of lynchings during the past year and particularly do we command the State of Alabama whose record in this respect is clean. Finally, we ask the co-operation of the whole South to join in the movement to bring to the people of the soil such conveniences, such privileges, such opportunities and such protection as will enable them to live the largest, fullest and most serviceable life.

T J Woofter of the Georgia Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation, asserted that "Public health among the colored, as well as the whites, is a matter of education and more education." He declared that the betterment of health conditions among Negroes as a matter of responsibility upon colored leaders and he maintained that there should be tuberculosis sanitariums for colored people in every state in the union. A stirring address was that by Dr. J. J. Mulloney, president of the Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn. He made a strong plea for the hundreds of doctors and nurses the colored race needs "men and women of strong, moral and service-loving character."

Such an instance occurred Sunday afternoon in the music room of the Martin-Smith Music School, 139 West 136th street, when Eugene Mars Martin, violinist, played the program for the usual monthly recital. Young Martin is the eldest son of the late David Irwin Martin, founder and director of the Martin-Smith School, who was himself a violinist of more than ordinary skill. Eugene has succeeded his father as director of the institution, and he proved Sunday afternoon that he is also entitled to the wearing of his father's mantle as a violinist. A little while back he was a youthful prodigy, now he is a mature artist. Roland Hayes Sir Large Brood The third New York revival by Roland Hayes was given Saturday night, January 19, in the Opera House of the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, to the largest audience Mr Hayes has faced in the Metropolis. This spacious auditorium, with a seating capacity of 2200, was well-nigh completely filled. Both balconies were completely filled and there were just a few vacant seats here and there in the orchestra. Early in the evening it was announced at the law office that only the higher priced seats were available but this did not deter the long line of those anxious to hear the man who has created new traditions for the race So continuous was the mough of the auditors that the first number was displayed ten minutes in order that the people might be seated before Mr. Hayes started singing. The program included several numbers which had been used by the artist in the first Town Hall recital, and it contained another number possessing the liveliest interest in the audience. The first of these was Hiawatha's wonderful passive care song, "Onaway Awake Beloved," from Hiawatha's 'Wedding Feast' to Samantha Coleridge Taylor. Another was the beautiful air from Massett's 'Manor the dream song.' He revered. Both these numbers had been in Mr. Hayes' repertoire before he went to Europe and his former singing of them was the foundation of a warm and pleasant memory. In his singing Saturday night, all antipatients were realised, for he developed titles of beauty inundream of by his hearers. In the Academies of Music audition, Mr. Hayes found a setting that gave BROOKLYN ART HISTORY St. Benedict's Day Nursery 27-29 West 132nd Street.

HOGANS The testimonial dinner held at Craigle's restaurant, Thursday evening, January 17, by the welfare workers, instructors, and representative porters of the Eastern District of the Pullman service, in honor of Mr. Perry Parker of Cincinnati, Ohio, grand chairman of the Pullman Porter's Beneficial Association, and extraordinary factum of the industrial department of the Pullman Company, was an instructive as well as enjoyable affair. Even though the gastronomic and social features were everything that anyone could reasonably expect them to be, both hosts and guests seemed to derive most pleasure from the after-dinner speeches. The toastmaster of the evening, Mr. S. J. Freeman, first introduced Exporter G. H Sylvester, styling him "the grand old young man, who will remain perennially youthful in the hearts of those who honor him." To this Mr Sylvester made a fitting response Mr W H. Deservency, the next speaker, urged the adoption of some plan for the building of a home for aged and injured porters. Mr. Fred R Moore, an honorary guest, was presented as "a man who was known to every boy, girl, man, and woman in New York; a man who called a spade a spade, and who, when black was black, designated it as such" Mr Moore, in the course of his remarks, told ohw the Jewish and Italian booth sellers were demoralizing the community with their poisonous stuff, and he called attention to the fact that they were not even content to stop at that, but were making this neighborhood the dumping ground for the most degenerate and vicious element of the white population by opening numerals in our midst. He deplored he, the apparent lethargy of the ministers of Harlem to these very obvious evils. In presenting the honored guest of the evening, Merry Parker, the hostmaster remarked that he would not compare him to Lincoln, Gen Armstrong, nor Booker T. Washington, but would place him next in line as the man who has done, and is still doing, more good for the race as a whole by assisting it to gain an economic foothold, than any other Negro of modern times. Mr. Parker dwelt at length on the importance of the Negro realizing that he fundamentals of good citizenship are honesty, production and thrift. He used the extreme pessimism of the executive and official personnel of the Pullman Company when he first suggested the introduction of Negro labor into certain departments of the Pullman industries. The general opinion that he encountered, he said, was that not enough competent colored employees could be secured, but through perserverance he succeeded in influencing the company to give the idea a trial trial, and as a result convinced Now Playing This Week Big Musical Comedy Specialty The Stars of HOW COME Presenting A Business Man and His Place of Enthusiasm Presenting Eddie Hunter Goe, Cooper Emmaatt Anthony Miss Kathryn Jarvis Mr Andrew Tribble Anda Ems of Trinity Girls and Dancing Boys Thursday "Do With The Thursday "THE With Thursday "THE A Story Coming—Tom Misi A West MART NEGRO MUSIC Has Been Changed From 44th STREET THEATRE Between 7th and SUNDAY EVENING, JAY Songs of Joy, Pathos Lilting Melodies that Quintessence of Jazz SOME OF THE TAL Abbie Mitchell—Alberta B Florence Farham—Ladies Wild"—4 Harmony Kings— Woods—George Stamper— Harrison, Ilocut and others equi LEONARD C.

Many people assembled to hear the sermon by chief pastor, Rev. Bolden, on Sunday morning. His text was, "He ye therefore may courageous to keep and to do all that that the book of the law of Moses, that you turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left; but cleave unto the Lord your God as ye have done unto this day." Joahua 23:6-R. Faster Bolden said: These words were spoken by Joshua as he was about to die. Joshua, the son of Nun, was appointed by God to succeed Moses, the servant of God, as leader of the people of Israel, Joshua had many battles, conquered much territory, and divided this territory among the people. Now he was facsimile death, about to leave these people whom he was leader of. Many things began to run through his mind. We might imagine some of the questions he was pondering in his mind. "I wonder what people will do with faith and trust in God, such as I have had, or will they soon become discouraged and turn from God to idolatous worship? What is the best council I can give them, that will strengthen them?" These and many others might have been some of the things he had been thinking. Joshua realized that whatever he did must be done quickly, as his end was near at hand. So he called for all Israel, for the elders, for their heads, for the judges and for the officers, for the men stricken in age." He reminded them how the Lord had fought all their battles, how He had given the land to them, how that they should, now that he was leaving them, be courageous, be strong, cleave unto the Lord, their God, take heed to the Lord their God. They should go forward and to cleave to the remnant of those actions else the Lord would turn them. more than they have given the command of the Lord, your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourself to them, then all the anger of the Lord be kindled against you and ye shall perish quickly from off the land which he hath given This was good advice and council to give to a people. How he words must have ingested in the memory. Sometimes the last words of the memory do with help to with help another tahn all the words that person could have ever said. Why not let us cultivate the habit of hearing and taking heed to not only the words of one about to pass on, but to the good advice and council of true, Christian people? Learn to listen to some one who knows better than yourself. Take the council given by the ministers, God's representatives, and live in peace and happiness.

Sir L. LASTER, 410 MORRIS AVE., SPRING LAKE, M. J. TELEPHONE SPRING LAKE 231. PHILIP A PAYTON JR., CO. 127 West 141st Street Tel. Audubon 0945 THE NEW YORK AGE for several months. A disciplinary board was formed by the Commanding Officer. I was appointed chairman by him, assisted by Dr. D. B. Boyd (dentist) and Dr. G. Johnsoo (physician), colored as Service and Dr. O. Johnson (physician), to check unness and disquieting fences among colored personnel. We are bringing out of confusion and causing a more agreeable situation. "The Commanding Officer has been greatly disturbed. I told him it would be an easy matter to adjust difficulties as I understand the men and women of my race. The situation is greatly relaxed and all seem to realize the necessary and humane affairs of the hospital adjusted within the limitations of the race who is most interested. "We were very successful in arranging Christmas greetings for the ex-servicemen—about 250. I was Chairman of the Program Committee and it was a great pleasure to direct the activities I was—a wonderful success. There are three white physicians here—the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer (D) Thomas B. Hill, and Dr. Thornton; two of whom are doing some medical work, 99.9% of the clinical and other work being done by colored people. "I have had an opportunity to transact some business in the town of Tuskegee—the bank, drugsstore and otherwise—and find the white people most cordial and I hear on every side that they are ready and expect daily that the hospital will be turned over to colored people, "to whom it belongs." The (O) said to me that the matter of talking of doing injury to colored people on the part of the whites was purely bluff. I have learned that it was never in mind to frighten, simply the whites wanted to hold the jobs. The better class of whites now feel that the few whites still there should get out of the way and turn it over to the colored people. I am thoroughly impressed that the time has come for a colored man to assume responsibility and let us go on with us. We are prepared and there would be a break down with the class of colored physicians we have here. They are all high type men and because of my longer years of experiences they regard me as the Dean, our relations are harmonious, they are cultured, educated medical gentlemen. I have endowed at all times to be the balance wheel. There are many, many things down here that would make this a real hospital: as it is, it doesn't seem to be a hospital: noise, no business system in departments on the part of the government, and nothing but a miscellaneous, confined, would be hospital - beautiful buildings within whose walls is no comparison with the real hospitals which the Government operates. It takes trained individuals with experience of the best type to stabilize hospitals, and it would take two years to simply implement these rules, to hide the lack of proper interest and efficient leadership and management "It is regrettable, Gun Hines, to tell you that men in the N-P ward have dirks, guns and rocks, and at the same time there is likely to be happenings among the ex-service men (N-P) that would be a blot against the hospital from which the whole team is coming. I am sure we will come for the host, we will equip, to be turned over to us and there will be no doubt about making it a wonderful success. Our Surgical end, also the N-P and the T-BP Departments are well cared for. The physicians are well qualified for this service." "I feel that my race will soon over a debt of gratitude that it will never be able to pay the physicians will have cause to prove of the fact that you will be them this glorious opportunity." "Dr Geo I. Johnson, the executive officer, seems to be well liked by all of the colored physicians and personnel in general. In discussing with him the desire of the colored people to obtain colored personnel, I asked him time should come that in some sensitive he and I should be able to work close together that would be his attitude. He and I would be very good with me. The Executive Officer, Dr Geo I. Johnson, is a Mayer from Overseas, a man perhaps 40 or 45 and is the gentleman who carried you from the Imperial Hotel in Atlanta to the hospital at Greenville, South Carolina. I did not go into details here. I could not afford to take chances. The verdict teats with you on any way distrust the hospital through fear of any kind, wish to say that I hope the dominance of any colored men locally or otherwise injecting himself into the affairs of the hospital will not influence you as outside interference is not acceptable to the colored physicians and nurses who have been here and have borne the burden in the heat of the day. "Now General I wish to exercise trust. I have made friends with the physicians here; they like me and we stand together. I am quite sure that I have waited a good, long time from July 25th and I have not forgotten that pleasant afternoon when I was state-taken to the executive officer. I have each and every requirement and I do hope that my embarrassment to linger and wait be of as short duration as possible. Five months is a long time to sit on the anxious seat yet I am abiding faith in you. I have gone through a thousand deaths and it was sweet to be loyal to the cause of the men in what I have faith. The war was not if you will please give the other men a berth at the possible appointment I am quite sure that Dr. G. Johnson and myself with the colored doctors can be heartily together. "Please remember that I am friends with everybody here but that there is a powerful, local, ambitions individual of my race whose influence is great and who seeks every opportunity to bring about a change in my official career the moment that I am given permission he will bow and cooperate in the he promised I turn to him and ask the I sit on the chair seat m longer than you must speedly arrange matters. My whole heart and plans are in the work in which I am engaged here and can manage most successfully if you will go on with the plans. Everything I have touched here has been most acceptable. If you want a written statement from the colored physicians, or any one else, I will be glad to furnish it. "The C, O, O christmas morning addressing a delegation of colored physicians and dentists, of which I was chlammed, stated to us that there wasn't a swap" or the delegation that the two would "practically appoinet me for the management of the Christmas affairs at the 250 colored ex-service men." We had a beautiful evening, in the neighborhood of 500 people. "Do the test you can I shall ever be thankful and grateful." Flirta With Hiram Johnson "Washington, D. C. "January 2, 1924.

Develops Spirit of Fellowship and Profit A spirit of fellowship with other girls is one of the finest things which ever comes to a girl—a high point in her development. It is a first principle in the actual practice of Christianity and it has been found through experience in the Y W C. A that one of the best ways of reaching such a goal is through girls' clubs. A girl gains through her association with other girls and play a more tolerant spirit, a respect for the rights of her companions; an understanding and sympathy which go with her through life and help her in whatever sphere she may find herself. In addition to these far-reaching effects a girls' club is a "present help" to lonely girls in a big city. Club life begins for the "Y" girls at the age of ten and continues with no age limit on the other end. There are meetings both inside and outside, and the convenience of all. Take one evening in the West 137th Street Branch, for instance. From seven to eight the gymnasium is occupied y the Cheerio Business girls club of the Girls Reserve Department which takes care of girls up to eighteen years of age. At eight the Cheerios go to their clug room for a meeting. Then in the swimming pool—from which the girls ring (over eighteen) and a group og about twenty nurses from Lincoln Hospital On another night the girls from Harlem come. From nine to ten the Beaux-Artians take over the gym for basketball, and those who do not play have a meeting with games and music in the club room. The more experienced swimmers are now in the pool and there is much high diving and the Beaux-Art girls come together for a social quarter of an hour and by ten-thirty the building is quiet again after a glorious evening of fun! All of this takes place of Thursday nights. On Wednesdays from eight to nine their is roller skating and every other nigth has its own special delight. Classes hold sway every evening. There are classes in crotchet headboarding, lamp skating, skating, bench follow speaking beauty school, miltury, and many other courses. A talk with the director, may make the New Year count for something in increased knowledge or skill 135th Street Library Forum meetings have been changed from Thursday to Wednesday evenings, hereafter. This Wednesday will be Community night.
