First Degree Murder Is Jury Verdict In Trial Barron Wilkins' Killer
"Yellow Charleston," at 10:30 A.M., Thursday, October 24, Hears Decision By Twelve Men That Slaying of Harlem Cabaret Owner Demanded Death Sentence.
MISSING WITNESSES FAILED TO PUT IN AN APPEARANCE AND JUDGE McINTYRE ORDERED SUMMATION BY COUNSEL ON WEDNESDAY
Attorney John J. O'Connor, of Counsel for Defense, Appealed to Prejudices of White Jury. Calling Harlem "Black Underworld" In Which Whites Would Walk Only Under The Impulse of Stark Necessity.
O'Connor's Address to Jury Was Gross Reflection Upon Harlem's Decent and Respectable Citizenry, and Asst. Dist. Atty. James E. MacDonald Mercilessly Scored Defense Lawyer For Insults.
Thursday, October 30, was the date set by Judge John F. McIntyre of the Court of General Sessions for Julius William Miller (alias "Yellow Charleston") to hear the death sentence pronounced upon him for firing the shot that caused the death of Barron D. Wilkins, cabaret proprietor, in Harlem Hospital on May 24 last.
The wife, sister, and two little daughters, one seven years, the other nine, stayed in the corridor of the Criminal Court Building ten o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, the 22nd, until the 10 was looked up at 2 o'clock night, but it was not until the jury returned a murder in the first degree which carries with it the penalty by electrocution in a living prison.
O'Connor's Insulting References
Congressman John J. O'Connor, defense attorney, in his summation of the case, likened "Yellow Charleston" to Kipling's "Gunga Din," and told the jury that with all his criminal record, under the skin "Yellow Charleston was as white as any one of them and a better man than Barron Wilkins ever

Then he proceeded to show that "Yellow Charleston" was justified in carrying a gun day and night, by characterizing Harlem as "that underworld uptown," not forgetting to paint it as black as ink, and without respect for the refined and cultured Negro men, women and children living upstown O'Connor, "Yellow Charleston"* lawyer, reminded the jury that he was talking to them as "white men," proceeded by telling them that "you wouldn't, unless necessary, walk through the streets of Harlem."

Y.W.C.A. OFFICIAL STIRS PREJUDICE AGAINST THE RACE
Incites Girls of Physical School To Say They Will Withdraw If Colored Girl Is Admitted.
Evidence that the Young Women's Christian Association is really a hotbed of racial prejudice is being seen in a number of recent incidents. Some weeks ago the story was told of a colored girl being refused admission to the School of Hygiene and Physical Education conducted by the Central Branch Y. W. C. A. at 610 Lexington avenue, next door to the National headquarters. Considerable discussion followed this incident, and the matter was discussed freely in board meetings and conferences of the general organization. Various expedients were suggested as a means of solving the question, none of which were based on the proposition of a square deal or equal opportunity for all.
From a reliable source, The Age learns that Mrs McKinsey, director of the school, has sought to justify her action in refusing admission to Miss Lydia Gardine of East Orange the colorel girl referred to, by causing the white girls who are students in the school to express their opinion upon the matter by astray vote
The information received as to the effect that Mrs. McKinsey, who had written Miss Gardine that she was not allowed to admit colored girls to the school, called the students together in the assembly room and addressed them on the subject. She told the pupils about the rejection of the colored girl, but advised them that the matter was still being discussed. The director is quoted as having told the girls that she was not in favor of admitting colored girls to mix with them in the school, and that she wanted them to express their opinion on the matter. Then she asked all of the students who would leave the school colored girls were admitted to raise their hands. Most of the girls did so. It said that there are a number who did not, but they were greatly in the minority. As a matter of fact, after the speech of the director, prejudiced and colored as it was, surprise is expressed that all of the girls did not follow the lead.
After the vote was taken, Mrs. McKinsey congratulated the girls on their attitude telling them she was glad they so voted, and that their action would furnish her with arguments to be used in a conference which is to be held at N. C. A headquarters on Thursday of this week to consider the matter.
Elect Roberts To Congress!
The Negroes of the 21st Congressional District have an opportunity to show their loyalty by supporting CHARLES H. ROBERTS for Congress. This is the first opportunity in the North we have had to get representation. We have been 28 years without representation. We can have a representative in the next Congress from this Congressional District if you who have qualified will give your loyal support. Disloyalty and voting for Weller will not help Roberts. Loyalty will put Roberts over. Let us persuade every man and woman of the race in the 21st to stand up strong in support of Roberts.
White friends are watching us. The members of our race in other sections of the country are watching us. The Negroes of the South who are not privileged to vote are urging us to give them Roberts.
Congressman Royal H. Weller has introduced the Color Line in his arguments against Charles H. Roberts. This should be resented by all fair minded voters. Any man who seeks to stir up racial prejudice should be defeated. Such an individual is nothing less than a Ku Klux Klan and should be left at home.
CHARLES H. ROBERTS MUST BE ELECTED.
Your are urged to do your duty and vote early.

FEDERAL JUDGE TO ORDER PROBE OF BARRED NEGRO VOTE
Alleges Conspiracy on Part Of Oklahoma Officials To Prevent Negroes From Registering.
Tulsa, Oka.—A Federal Grand Jury investigation into the alleged refusal of certain Oklahoma registrars to permit Negro voters to register for the general election will be ordered by F. E. Kenamer, Federal District Judge, he announced from the bench here, after a hearing on a mandamus writ seeking to compel Okfuskee county registrars to register Negroes. The court denied the writ on the ground of lack of jurisdiction.
In making the announcement Judge Kennerma said "There is a conspiracy in the State Capitol and the State Election Board to deny the right of voting to certain citizens because of race or color." He further asserted that the "power of the United States Government will be invoked to see that some one goes to the penitentiary for denying the right to vote to any citizen or class of citizens," and charged that "in some precincts registrars go around and find only, those voters to register whom they know will vote right".
Judge Kennerma also charged that a Negro had virtually no chance to get his suffrage rights through appeal to the State Supreme oCurt

While "rubbernecking" out of a window at 210 West 135th street on Sunday afternoon, October 26, William Lawrence, of 356 West 119th street, lost his balance and fell three stories to the street.
An ambulance was hurriedly summoned and the injured man taken to Harlem Hospital. There is was found that he had received a sprained hip and possible internal injuries. The injured man refused to tell just what it was that attracted his attention so as to cause him to lose his balance and fall.

Last Week Of Campaign Is Filled With Enthusiastic Republican Assemblages
Harlemites Gather Every Night at Various Points and Indications Point to Crystallizing of Sentiment in Favor of Dr. Roberts For Congress and Col. Roosevelt for Governor of New York.
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES GAIN STRENGTH AS PEOPLE ARE MADE FAMILIAR WITH STRONG POINTS OF THE PLATFORMS THEY PRESENT
Ex-Congressman Ansorge Making Strong Eight For Court of General Sessions Bench—The People Are Rallying To Support Of Billups for State Assembly, Ryan For Sheriff, and Other Party Nominees.
The final week of the political campaign brought activities to fever heat in New York City, and especially in Harlem.
The main center of interest in Harlem is, of course, the congressional race, as for the first time in the history of the Republican party, a Nagro has been named as candidate for election to Congress from a northern city.
Dr. Charles H. Roberts, formerly a member of the New York City Board of Aldermen from the 19th A. D., is the regular Republican nominee from the 21st New York Congressional District, and he is being accorded the support of men and women of both races in a gratifying measure.
Enthusiasm Aroused.
The activities of the Roberts' supporters, men and women, have taken on an intensity and fervor that shows the sincerity and enthusiasm with which he is being endorsed and appointed by the voters. Nightly meetings are bein gheld in each election district, and each group is determined to be in the vanguard and to hold up the Roberts' barrer.
Throughout the 21st District the slogan has been raised.
"WE WANT ROBERTS IN CONGRESS"
and party workers of both races, male and female, are working constantly and effectively to the bringing about of this result. At the nightly meetings all of the candidates, as a rule, are present, and they each receive a most enthusiastic hearing from the large crowds that are present. The Roberts' headquarters are open day an night, and experienced workers are always present for the purpose of instructing inexperienced voters as to how to mark their ballots on Election Day. All the talks given at the meetings held at headquarters are educative in character.
Roosevelt in Harlem
One of the biggest outpourings of the week was on Monday night when Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Republican candidate for Governor, appeared at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, West 136th street. This meeting was presided over by Robert S. Conklin, leader of Republicans in the 21st A. D. Another large and enthusiastic meeting on the same night was held at Union Baptist Church, West 63rd street, in the Columbus Hill district, presided over by Fred R Moore, at which a number of the Republican nominees spoke to the people.
Dr. Roberts and a number of the other candidates were present at St. James Presbyterian Church, West 137th street, on Sunday afternoon, October 26; and were given an enthusiastic and cordial welcome by a host of folks who were present at a mass meeting.
The Palace Garden Casino, Seventh avenue, between 139th and 140th street; was the scene of another tremendous gathering on Wednesday night, when
Republican Nominee for Congress from the 21st N. Y. District.
Col. Hayward presided over a gathering of Harlem's voters. Among the speakers at this meeting was the American Minister to Liberia, West Coast of Africa, Dr. Solomon Porter Hood of Trenton, and Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant to U. S. Attorney Washington. Dr. Roberts spoke, and did Pope B. Billups, Republican candidate for the State Assembly from the 21st A. D. Other speakers were Jack Friedman, former Republican leader of the Board of Aldermen, manager of the Roberts' campaign, and John Wesley Hill, chancellor of the Lincoln Memorial Institute.
Interest in Anaorge
Meetings on Thursday night at Bethal A. M. E. Church, West 132nd street, and on other dates at Grace Congregational Church, West 139th street, the Roberts' headquarters, and at other places, were addressed by Col. Arthur Little, commander of the 369th Infantry Harlem's crack Negro regiment of the New York National Guard, and the different candidates on the Republican ticket.
Sharing interest in Harlem with the Roberts' candidacy is that of former Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, who withdrew from the congressional race in favor of Dr. Roberts, and who has been named by the Republicans as candidate for the position of Judge of the Court of General Sessions, to succeed Judge Olivany who was appointed to vacancy created by registration of Judge Thomas C. T. Crain who was appointed a justice of the Supreme Court. Congressman Ansorge is making a winning fight and is being given the cordial and undivided support of Harlem voters who appreciate his magnanimity in putting his congressional aspirations in the background and thus making it possible for Dr. Roberts to be given the unanimous endorsement of the organization.
Robert's Fine Campaign
The splendid campaigning of Dr. Roberts and the other Republican candidates is sheing evidenced by the srystallizing of sentiment among both white and colored voters in their favor. Net results to date is that many doubters have been converted to belief in the Roberts' candidacy, and they are daily coming in to headquarters to pledge their support to the Republican ticket. The work is pending up with an omen.

AGE TWO
five drive among the voters of the five Assembly Districts comprising the 22st Congressional, and thc cslogan is Vote Early! Mark Ballot Next To Eagle! Don't Deface Ballott and Thus Void It!
Experienced campaigners, men who have won recognition for their conservative and accurate forecasts of political results, declare the indications are that Dr. Roberts will win in the 21st N. Y. by from 5,000 to 7,000 million. One of the contributing elements, it is set forth, is the fact that the Democratic candidate, Royal H. Weller, present incumbent, has seen fit to inject the color question into the campaign, with the reputed object of appealing to the Klan element. At no time has Dr. Roberts or his advocates laid any emphasis on the race question, and it is asserted that the voters in the district will resent this attempt of Weller to make it a subject of consideration in the campaign.
Men and women voters are urged by the party workers to mark their ballots opposite Roberts' name and to be sure to vote the straight Republican ticket.

the sympathies of the twelve white jurors, O'Connor concluded with the words, "Up there in Harlem, in a little room is a little sickly woman waiting for her man; with her are two little 'pleaninies.'
. Prosecution Scores O'Connor.
Mr. McDonald, the assistant district attorney, began his address with the words: "I wondered, when Mr O'Connor the congressman, was summing up if he thought he was speaking for the Congressional Record, for the benefit of his constituents." He proceeded to characterize Congressman O'Connor's address as a bold plea for manslaughter Prosecutor McDonald took exception to O'Connor's "accusing Leroy Wilkins with using influence with his appearance, when Mr. Wilkins was only taking interest in the prosecution of his brother's slayer." He proceeded to chastise O'Connor to the jurymen for reflecting on the woman witnesses with "refutation of the testimony of "Yellow Charleston," the thief, the slayer, the gun-tor, the burglar against Mrs. Jackson, a respectable married lady, and Mrs. Lewis, a lady engaged in social work for the uplift of her people."
The district attorney asked the jury, "What motive to lie would Mrs. Alma Jackson have?—she being a girl, 18 years, married, introduced to Mr. Wilkins by her father, and had never been in his cabaret."
McDonald concluded by enjoining the jury to "Take the case, give it your sound common sense, then bring in your verdict." It was then 4-14 p. m. Wednesday.
Judge Charges Jury
After a twenty minutes recess, Judge McIntyre began charging the jury, and at half past six he discontinued the charge to allow one and a half hours for dinner. At 8 o'clock the judge concluded his charge to the jury, listened to exception taken by Mr Myers, chief counsel for the defense, and the jury went out at 9:25 p.m.
At one o'clock in the morning the jury requested further instruction in what constituted first degree murder: Judge McIntyre re-assembled court and recited the facts in the case, interpreted the law on justifiable homicide, commonly known as self defense; murder in the first and second degrees; then man slaughter in the first and second degrees.
The Judge in charging the jury, said "He is a black man and came from ah oppressed race, but he is entitled to a fair and impartial trial. The termination of a man's life is in the hands of his Creator. It is for you to decide which side is telling the truth. A community can only be made safe by the administration of the criminal law. First degree murder can be perpetrated upon a black man equally as much as upon a white man. Render a verdict consistent with the evidences in the trial."
Verdict At 10:30 Thursday
The jury retired at twenty-two minutes of two in the morning and ten minutes later sent for the street diagram on which the eye witnesses had marked in pencil where the principals in the case stood. At 2 o'clock, the jury was locked up in the room where they remained until they came back into court Thursday morning at 10:30 a.m. with a verdict of first degree murder which means that 'Yellow Charleston' will be the first colored man to die in the electric chair in New York State for killing a member of his race. A crowd of colored men from Harlem had waited up until 2 o'clock Thursday morning to hear the verdict and the wife, the sister and two small girls had been anxiously waiting in the corridor since 10 o'clock the morning before.
When the jury was locked in and the Judge left the court, the crowd of colored men turned their backs upon the heart broken wife, the grief stricken sister and the two pitiful little children and went home, leaving them alone, without a friend, uncomfortable and unprotected to go back to the "under world Harlem" as O'Connor had blackly characterized it, at 2 o'clock in the morning.
Fewer Hooch Joints Are On 7th and Lenox Avenues Than Were Operated Dec.29
On That Date 64 Were Running, But 29 Have Been Closed By Law or Otherwise In Past 10 Months—However, 11 New Joints Have Been Opened In Same Period, So Net Reduction Is Only Eighteen.
SURVEY OF HOOCH SITUATION MADE OCT. 24 INDICATES THAT BOOTLEGGING RING STILL HAS A THROTTLE HOLD ON LAW ENFORCEMENT
Cross Streets and Other Avenues To Be Surveyed, As Indications Point To Fact That Hooch Vendors Have Increased Activities In Harlem By Removing From Main Thoroughfares to Side Streets.
On December 29, 1928, there were thirty-seven hooch joints operating on Lenox avenue, in the territory from 129th to 145th streets. Since that date, twenty of these places have been closed, either through a federal court injunction, or through action of the bootlegger owner. These premises formerly occupied as hooch selling joints are now altogether empty or given over to a different sort of business enterprise.
Notwithstanding this reduction in the number of places on Lenox avenue devoted to the sale of vile health and life-destroying liquors, a careful survey of the situation, made on October 24, shows, that there are now twenty-six hooch joints in operation, each of which is camouflaged under some innocent appearing mantle—drug stout, lunch stand, soft drink emporium, dry goods store, cigar store or jewelry storage until needed. Incidentally, it is to be noted that this same Solotar whose address at the time was given as 1551 Shakespeare avenue, The Bronx, was held sometime ago by U S. Commissioner Boyle under bonds of $5,000 on a charge of selling 2,000 counterfeit revenue stamps to Prohibition Agent William McKay, the transaction taking place at 137 West 45th street.
Although the bootleggers have been forced to close the twenty places referred to, it is reported that most of them are bound to the landlords for the rent under long-term leases. In one or two cases, notably at 582 Lenox avenue, premises formerly occupied as a diger-store-hooch-joint run by Hyman, the store is now occupied by a group of gipsy fortune tellers, who pose under the guise of phrenologists. Occupants of adjacent properties are up in arms against what they term an extremely undesirable invasion by objectionable tenants, and it is reported that owners of the property are seeking means by which the gipsy women can be gotten rid of. The charge is made that Hyman has subrented these stores to the gipsies in an effort to recoup some of the rental money which he is contracted to pay, and that he gets a larger rental from these undesirables than could be gotten from legitimate business men or women.

I received your letter of October 23rd, and hasten to assure you that although a Republican, I shall esteem it a duty to vote for the retention of Judge Churchill on the Bench.
I take this position not only because I agree with you in the principle of retaining an experienced and competent Judge, but because Judge Churchill is something more than this. I have been particularly impressed with the broad and sympathetic attitude which he has always shown toward the colored people and the problems with which they have been confronted. I remember especially the fine stand that he took when he was President of the Board of Education, insisting upon Negro teachers being placed on the Civil Service List and appointed, and the equally fine attitude he showed in the De Witt Clinton High School incident. You may recall that a young colored boy was playing on the De Witt Clinton High School Team and an opposing team refused to play with them unless this boy was dropped. Judge Churchill not only refused to let the colored boy be dropped from the team, but insisted that the De Witt Clinton High School could not play Football unless it retained this boy.
Because Judge Churchill has steadfastly stood for things like this, I am voting for him and asking my friends to do likewise.
You may use this letter in any way you see fit.
Sincerely yours,

Notwithstanding this reduction in the number of places on Lenox avenue devoted to the sale of vile health and life-destroying liquors, a careful survey of the situation, made on October 24, shows, that there are now twenty-six hooch joints in operation, each of which is camouflaged under some innocent appearing mantle—drug store, lbnch stand, soft drink emporium, dry goods store, cigar store or jewelry store.
As only seventeen of the original thirty-seven hooch joints are now in operation, it is clearly to be seen that during the past ten months there have been opened at least nine new hooch selling places in this particular stretch of Lenox avenue territory
New Places Opened
According to best information obtainable, these new places have been put into operation by the same bootleggers, or by members of the same groups of bootleggers, who were responsible for the conducting of the places which have been put out of business. There is ample room for suspicion that these additional dives are directly or indirectly financed by Louie Immerman, now a big "num-Moe Immermann, now a big "numbers" banker, "Chief" and the "Goldgrebens, and the man now said to be the biggest of them all, Charles Sötat; a brother-in-law to Hyman Kassell, it is alleged.

was continued, presents a somewhat similar condition. On December 20, 1923, there were twenty-seven mooch joints set down in active operation. During the ten months intervening, nine of these places have been closed. The survey shows that on October 24, there were twenty-two bootlegging joints in active operation on this splendid and; desirable residential thoroughfare in the territory bounded by 127th street on the south and 148th street on the north. Of these, two are new places, recently opened; one of them, at 2390, occupying the newly erected structure which partly closes the Seventh avenue entrance to the court in rear of the 139th street "Block Beautiful."
The other new hooch hell hole is found to be occupying the store at 2382, in the property belonging to Mr. Calvary, Independent Methodist Church, which is under the renting management of H. T. Sheppard, real estate agent, who is also a trustee in Mt. Calvary Church. There is no evidence that the quality of hooch dispensed in this joint is any different or any better than that dispensed in more unsanctified quarters.
A resume shows that on Lenox and Seventh avenues on December 29 last there were 64 hooch joints in open operation. Since that time twenty on Lenox and nine on Seventh avenues have been shut down, a total of 29, leaving 35 of these operating on December 29 still active—17 on Lenox and 18 on Seventh. Eleven new places—nine on Lenox and two on Seventh—bring the total now in existence to 46, a net reduction of 18.
But this survey covered only Lenox and Seventh avenues, and took no account of any of the numbered cross streets, or Madison, Fifth and Eights avenues. Ample and dependable information is at hand to the effect that many of the places closed on the two avenues surveyed have been reopened various of the cross streets and on the other avenues. One observer, whose daily duties give him chance for close observation, declares that there are more than 100 hooch joints now being run in Harlem, and this figure overtops by more than two-score any number previously registered by The Age.
Cross Streets and Avenues
The cross streets and other avenues in Harlem will be the subject of future investigation and comparison by The Age, and it is hoped that such a concrete showing will be made as will be om substantial value and assistance to both federal prohibition forces and to the city's police department in the curbing and throttling of the nefarious and damaging traffic in poisonous alcoholic liquors. The following list of hooch joints, operating openly and boldly in defiance of law and the constituted authorities, (or more probably through the connivance of a certain element of the law enforcement forces) comprises the places checked up on Lenox and Seventh avenues, and those previously recorded as being located on the various cross streets and the other avenues.

A. wildly admirable crowd filled
every available space of Mother A. M.
M. Zion Ghoreh to arrest Col. Theodore
Ooeevallah for his impolite candidate for
Govenor, for his first appearance in
Harlem since the beginning of the campa-
gnon on Monday night, October 27.
Outside the churchel a radio speaking tube amplified his voice and the street outside was filled with more people than could get into the church. Robert S. Conklin, leader of the at Assembly District, presided—and gave all candidates opportunity to speak before Col. Roosevelt arrived, as the Colonel made eleven speeches during the night and did not get to the Harlem meeting until near twelve o'clock. The first speaker was Thomas Jefferson Ryan, former congressman, and now candidate for sheriff of New York County. Mr Ryan told of his association with Col. Roosevelt during the World War and declared that the Republican candidate for governor had surpassed the war record of his famous and beloved father and that his record since the war had been equally notable. Col. Arthur Little of the 369th Infantry, although not a candidate, was
to do. He is a graduate of Benedict College, Columbia, S. C., of Virginia Theological Seminary, Richmond Va., and a master of several foreign languages, having taught them prior to entering the ministry Dr. Thompson wears the garment of his great predecessor with ease.
Having been given full power as pastor, the only occasion of the kind to happen in the history of the great Tabernacle, in celebration of the event, the members of Tabernacle church, friends from other churches and people from all parts of the city came together, eager to have some part in the closing of the great drive and when the collection was taken, $6,000 in actual cash had been given; in which many of the white friends in the city were large contributors
The church edifice, which is the largest in the South, was packed at the morgue service, overflowing to the galleries at night. All of which tended to assure Dr. Thompson the new pastor, the high esteem in which he is held by the people of Augusta, white and colored, that they indorse his program and that they are in sympathy with the church. And it being the pastor's first effort at raising funds for the church, is proud of the success obtained and along with the entire membership of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, feel very grateful to everybody for the part contributed, little or much, on last Sunday night, all went far toward making the rally a success. Visitors and friends always find a hearty welcome at the Tabernacle.

next called on and made an address. Among other things he pointed out some of the fallacies in arguments made by colored Democrats for support of that party. Referring to the matter of jobs, he said that it had been twenty years or more since New York added a Republican mayor and it was impossible for the Republicans to appoint colored men to local jobs. He stated and national politics the Democrats had not shown the same willingness to recognize the colored voter and it declared that they never were long as the southern oligarchy, led the democratic party. He concluded his address by begging his heart to be misled by promises from the Follette-Wheeler organization which never meant to keep. He said that when they voted 100 percent for Democrats they would show a lack of interest for their own interest.
Dr. Charles, H. Roberts, candidate for Congress from the 21st District, was the next speaker and was given an enthusiastic reception by the other present. Dr. Roberts said that whatever legislation favorable to the Negro citizens of the country had been passed was by the Republican party. He urged full support of the Republican ticket.
The other candidates who spoke were Ely Rosenborg, candidate for the State Senate; Lewis H. Poundy, on the state ticket for treasurer; P. B. Billuips and Abraham Green, candidates for the Assembly, Ward V. Tolbert, candidate for Judge of the Supreme Copt; and Martin C. Anhola, candidate for Judge of Court of General Sessions, who received an especially warm welcome.
Preceding the meeting a big parade was held by local Reporter led by the Monarch Band. When Col Roosevelt arrived the band played the national anthem and the applause which followed lasted for nearly minutes. He was accompanied by his wife, a squad of policemen and a large group of friends. When the applause had subsided, he launched immediately into a denunciation of the Klan and then spoke of some promises made by Governor Sims which he had not kept. He spoke particularly of the defect in the state bill, which prevented the hefts of increased veterans from receiving compensation. He said the Republic assembly passed an amendment to bill but the Democrats killed it because they did not want the Republic to get the credit
He pledged himself to see that amendment is repassed and declare that the best interest of the would be looked after when he becomes Governor.

The annual election of officers, delegates, and committee members of the New York District of the Fullman Porters' Benefit Association of America, was held during the week ending October 18, 1924. The following were elected: A. L. Totten, chairman; T. E. Griffin, vice-chairman; J. H. Mingo, treasurer; R. Q. Thibau, secretary; delegates to the Grand Lodge, A. L. Totten, T. E. Griffin, G. Wilson, Grievance Committee, E. F. Effort, W. H. Desverney, G. Wilson, G. W. Gains, T. E. Griffin, A. L. Totten.
The foregoing personnel was chosen from a membership of about thee hundred porters. The individuals composing it, with one or two exceptions, are men who have been in the Fullman service for twenty years or more. All of them enjoy the respect and goodwill of their employers, as well as the confidence and esteem of their fellow workers.
Under such favorable auspices and with intelligent direction, there is no tenuible reason why the New York District branch of this association should not bring its membership up to the 100 per cent. mark instead of allowing itself to lag with the 65 per cent. of the porters employed in the district, which is the present proportion of its membership. The general opinion of all the porters, including those who are not members, is that the Pullman Porters' able help in correcting certain abuses which existed among them prior to its inception. Previous to its organization, the Mott Haven Yards, which is the reporting station for the men of the New York district, was over-run with insurance solicitors and agents. These agents and solicitors were so numerous and so ravenous for the porters' business that there were actually hours in the day when they outnumbered the porters who were reporting for duty themselves. One of the humorous characteristics of their solicitation was the zealous manner in which they pursued the porter who had just recently entered the service.
These solicitors were familiar with the regular porters of the district, and intuitively, as it were, could at once recognize the porter who belonged to some other district, even if it were his first trip to New York. They just seemed to sensit the recruit porter, and after they had finished bombarding him with insurance rhetoric and accident literature, if it so happened that the hatred one was making his initial report for duty, or if he was the product of a rustic community and did not understand the persistence of a city insurance agent, he would be absolutely confused as to which course was the more important for him to follow, report to the yard superintendent first and take out a policy afterward, or take out the policy first and see the superintendent afterward. Those were profitable days for the agents and the companies they represented.
Those times have, however, gone never to return, as far as the porters are concerned, and, moreover, the number of insurance agents who now visit Mott Haven Yards are few and far between. The porters as an insurance client's have become an unremunerative group. This does not mean, of course, that the Porters' Association is conducted as an insurance business, nor that it is infringing on the insurance laws of the states in which it has branches. Although that explanation is needless, we make it to show that the porters have moulded themselves instead of allowing the insurance companies to geap the rewards which they were doing from their business.
Another one of the nuisances which have been dont away with since the birth of the organization is the soliciting of funds for the indiscreet and shifting porter. It was formerly a common occurrence to have some porter stock a contribution paper in your hand with the request that you donate something for 'Porter So and Sa'. Inquiry as to why was the matter with him, generally brought the information that he was ill and needed financial assistance. In many instances it was problematic to the gover as to how much of the donation the unfortunate porter really received. There are a few cases in the memory of veteran porters where funds had to be solicited to give a decreased porter a decent burial. As there is little excuse for such an essentially happening now even the 'kindhearted' porter who previously made it his business to pick out unfortunate cases and beg for their relief has not the moral or physical temerity to approach one of his fellow workers for aid in helping one of the group. The Pullman Porters' Benefit Association has subterfured that need
We mention these two things to prece to the casual reader just how much benefit we have derived from this book. There are greater benefits and possibilities connected with it than we care to make public at the present time, but they are slowly but surely being realized by all concerned. The men recently elected are, as a whole an intelligent group. Whether they have sufficient foresight and ability to bring about certain conditions that would be beneficial to the present members, and which will have a tendency to increase their number remains to be seen.

Attitude of White and Black Toward Education Of Negro Is Improving
Tuskegee, Ala.—The committee appointed by the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools for making a study of reports, and facts brought out at the annual session at Dallas, Texas, July 30, 31 and August 1, 1924, have given out some results of their observations.
The committee consisting of W. T. D. Williams, chairman, Alabama; W.H Holloway; Alabama; A. Lawless; Jr. Georgia; Jesse O. Thonts, Georgia; Joseph J. Rhodes, Texas claim that there are signs of advancement which give reason for optimis.
Some of the findings of the commuter are:
First : That, from every Southern state, it appears that general progress is making in Negro education; in certain limited sections, as for instance in North Carolina generally, and as far as schoolhouse building is concerned in South Carolina, and in the development of high schools in leading cities here and there, this progress is striking and most welcome.
Second : That in Negro education the most encouraging co-operation is going on between white and black people, and between the private schools and the public school authorities.
Much remains to be done to put Negro education upon a satisfactory basis.
First Too much dependence must not be placed upon material development in schools...in good buildings and satisfactory equipment for iminstance Nor should the schools yipid too much to popular insistence for making the school work easy and for excess methods rather than thoroughness of knowledge. The school must remain the place for hard, positive, definite work in the development of mind and character Second It is evident that there is great need of a considerably increased number of Negro teachers to give adequate training to the colored children enrolled in the school, to say nothing of the great number that find no room in the schools
Third. It is clear too, that there is a tremendous need of a great deal more money for Negro schools (a) More room for Negro children in urban and rural schools is imperative, if illiteracy is not, to be allowed to increase. (b) If properly trained teachers are to be secured for and kept in the Negro schools Negro teachers must be paid considerably increased salaries. Their average salary is only about one-half the average salaries of teachers the country over. However, the country standard of preparation for Negro teachers is being raised. We urge that salaries of Negro teachers be based upon education and training certification and experience in accordance with established schedules for teachers generally.
We wish to express our appreciation supervisors be generally employed for Negro schools. And since efficiency of colored supervision is being demonstrated satisfactorily we urge that colored supervisors be employed for colored schools generally.
In view of the great importance of agriculture to Negroes and to the South, we recommend a more complete organization of the instruction in agriculture for Negroes in all fifteen Southern States. We urge that this instruction be more closely affiliated with state institutions for Negroes especially with the V & M colleges in order that students of agriculture and home economics may benefit by all the facilities which the state has for such training.
Further it would seem to us appropriate for the location of our experiment stations at the A & M Schools under state and federal supervision for the general use of Negro agricultural students in research work for the guidance of Negro farmers in agricultural practice.
We wish further to commend the help given to the services rendered Negro

Alding Schools For Negroca
(1 from The Christian Science Monitor)
It is a gratifying sign of the times that an announcement of a conditional gift of $1,000,000 to two of the principal colleges for Negroes in the United States should be accepted, coming as it does from the General Education Board organized by Mr. Rockefeller almost as a matter-of-fast occurrence. The schools to be jointly benefited, Tuskegee and Hampton, are reasonably required, in qualifying to receive the endowment, to raise, by subscription, or otherwise, a sum equal to the fund offered. The gift is in addition to an annual fund of $50,000 which has been supplied for several years past for similar purposes. Assurance is when in behalf of the beneficiary schools that the requirements will immediately be met
The record made by both Tuskkeegan and Hampton since their organization has been such as to assure the wise and prudent use of all moneys produced for their support. Negro education, as these colleges have proved, is no longer merely experimental. It may surprise some who have not kept it touch with activities along this line to learn that there are now 500 normal schools and colleges for Negroes in the United States, with a total enrollment of approximately 104,000. In addition there are 40,000 Negro schoolteachers and 20,000 Negro children in the public schools. In the view of Dr. Robert R. Moten, principal of Tuskkeegan and a trustee of Hampton, the period of greatest advance for the American Negro has been since 1919. He called attention to the significant fact that the State of North Carolina expended $4,000,000 for Negro education last year.
At Tuskegee today there are 2650 pupils, occupying 125 buildings. The land embraced in the college property includes over 2000 acres, which is aside from the 19,900 acres of mineral land obtained through an act of Congress. This school was founded, as everyone knows by Booker T. Washington. This was in 1881 when the only building available was a dilapidated shanty. Hampton was founded in 1888 by Gen S. C. Armstrong. It now has 2000 students, 250 teachers, and occupies 150 buildings on a site of 1100 acres.
Throughout the states of the south there are scores of Negro schools which are struggling in the courageous hope that they may accomplish for those of their race what Tuskegee and Hampton are accomplishing. And is being extended by thoughtful white people who have discovered the aims and purposes of the unselfish teachers who are devoting their time and energies to the education of indigent Negroes of all ages. Those who work in this cause and those who supply money for books and buildings know that the effort is not a hopeless one. The self reliant men and women who have been educated in the Negro schools supply the best evidence that the effort is worth while.

The number of our readers fearing of the "JOY" that comes from using Real Food Biscuit in ever increasing. They have also learned that Candy, Pumpkin Fice, Cookies, etc., "it for it is King" are made from regular ingredients. Regular shipments are now being received, right from where the sugar Cane grows, to meet the rapidly increasing demand. ALGA Gae Cane from the southern jute of the sugar Cane plant boiled down to syrup, with nothing added, except a very small amount of syrup to prevent sugaring in the can.
Yes: It is higher than ordinary ayrups, but not half as expensive as maple ayrups tharves, among the choices of table and bakeware. Nevertheless, it has a flavor all its own.
Ask your greeter for the Real ALAGA Cane Syrup. If he does not have it ask him to have it. Ask him to have mouth Front St., Philadelphia. Fa., who will see that he gets it quicken.
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.
One of our local contemporaries, The Tattler, which is earnest in its support of the Democratic candidates for President and Governor, is greatly disappointed because The Age decided that in its judgment the best thing to do in this campaign is to vote for Coolidge and Roosevelt. In commenting on the reasons advanced for reaching such a conclusion, as set forth in last week's issue, the editor of our contemporary strivler to be arcastic by saying: "Arguments fail when confronted by such staggering logic." But despite its best efforts, the Tattler fails to successfully controvert the reasons stated and sarcasm is made to appear as an acknowledgement of the facts. Its strongest argument for Mr. Davis is as follows:
Forty-eight years the Republican party has been on the job and has done nothing effective to correct the condition of affairs in the South made possible by Republican sale of Negro Republicans of the South, in 1876, in order to save the Presidency to Rutherford B. Hayes and themselves. One of the reasons why it has done so is because of the questions involved are outside the control of the Federal authority and are in the control of the State authorities. We have got to be shown that John W. Davis will allow the Southern reactionary oligarchists to drag him down to them, when he has denounced their sort of business as outlawed, as the Democratic National convention outlawed the Cleveland candidate Coolidge has shown to the Cleveland constituents as willing to accept support-from the very reactionary forces in the North which Mr. Davis and his party have renounced and denounced, and before he took refuge in silence as dude as death. President Coolidge selected as his private secretary and political advisor Mr. C. Bascom Stemp of Virginia, who stands at the very top of the Lily-white group of Republicans in the South who stand for the same things, as far as the race is concerned, that the Southern Democratic Oligarchists stand, and against whom The Age has had uncorked the vials of its virulent wrath and denunciation ever since the slimy things squirmed out of the ooze of Southern politics.
Granting much that is said as to Republican shortcomings is true, we are unable to find any remedy in the support of Democracy at this time. The Democratic convention failed to denounce the klan by name, after a most bitter debate, and the candidate only did so at the insistence of the Democratic leaders in New Jersey and New York. If President Coolidge is accepting the support of "reactionary forces" in the North, Mr. Davis is dependent for his election upon equally reactionary forces in the South.
The Age has no criticism to make of the good faith of such papers as The Tattler and such individuals as Mr. Lewis, who have espoused the cause of Democracy in order to fight the evils that have fastened upon the Republican party. We believe that they are wrong in their methods, nevertheless we sympathize in their aims. The Democratic party is dominated by the rock-tribed prejudices of its Southern wing, which has determined its policy since the Civil War. It will take a much longer time to make these Southern Bourbons see the wisdom of accepting the Negro as a full fledged citizen and grant the recognition due such citizenship.
The Age is supporting the Republican candidate because it has reason to believe that he is personally in favor of the full recognition of the citizenship of the Negro. It believes that it will be easier to get the Republican party back to its original principles than to convert the South to those principles. It will continue the fight to remove all barriers that now prevent the full recognition of the race to participation in party management and party rewards. In this fight it is assured of a greater degree of aid and assistance within the party, than it could be reasonably expected under a Democratic administration.
It is for these reasons that The Age advises our people to support the Republican ticket in the present campaign.
COLOR LINE IN "Y" WORK
The frequent recurrence of glaring instances of discrimination and injustice based on race and color in the administration of departments of work being done for the youth of both sexes through the organizations which carry the word "Christian" as part of their title, argues that there is something lacking in the popular conception of Christianity, as practised in America. The latest example of this sort of thing was the action of an educational director of the Young Women's Christian Association in denying the privilege of training in some special branch to a qualified young woman solely because of her color.
The frequent recurrence of glaring instances of discrimination and injustice based on race and color in the administration of departments of work being done for the youth of both sexes through the organizations which carry the word "Christian" as part of their title, argues that there is something lacking in the popular conception of Christianity, as practised in America. The latest example of this sort of thing was the action of an educational director of the Young Women's Christian Association in denying the privilege of training in some special branch to a qualified young woman solely because of her color. While condemning such instances of dis
crimination, which are entirely too frequent, it is to be recognized that among the managers of these two organizations, there exists a sentiment that the benefits of their welfare work should be extended to all classes of the community, irrespective of race or color. Hence the establishment of branches to carry on such work among the colored people. Under the right kind of directors, clothed with full power and responsibility for the conduct of such work, this plan has answered the purpose as well as could be expected.
The establishment of colored branches, with executives and their assistants chosen from trained workers of their own race, has resulted in many instances in building up strong and useful agencies for the training of youth of both sexes and the development of self-respecting manhood and womanhood among its membership. This has been accomplished in spite of the segregation which prompted the starting of such branches, and because in the cases referred to the branches were, free to exercise self-government in the choice of managers and executives.
When this privilege of self-government has been denied by the arbitrary action of a central board, and an executive retained in office whose usefulness had been ended through his own indiscretions, the result has been a loss of morale in the institution and the deterioration of its work. Such a case was presented in the Harlem branch on West 135th street, where the magnificent plant provided for the work, has fallen to the condition of an ordinary rooming house, with a dwindling of the activities that should be carried on in such an institution.
The deductions to be made from the present disturbed conditions of "Y" work among colored people is that while they have come to accept the sort of voluntary segregation implied by the establishment of separate branches as the only practicable means of carrying on such work at present they are not satisfied with the discrimination practised on the ground of color in certain activities. To ensure the best results from the colored branches, a larger degree of self-government should be accorded the local boards. The members of these boards, who as a rule are representative of the best sentiment of the race, are better informed as to the needs and difficulties of the work than any central board of white directors, however wellmeaning the latter may be. This phase of the situation has been realized by those white members, who have come into close contact with the work among these people. Seeing things eye to eye with their colored co-workers they come to realize the needs of self-government for these branches and for a broader and more enlightened policy in dealing with the colored membership.
What is needed among the governing boards and executives of this great work is a deeper appreciation of the obligations entailed in the "Christian" part of their title. They should carry more of the spirit of the founder of Christianity into their work and less of the disposition to discriminate on account of race and color.
A QUESTION OF SALARY:
One of the crowning achievements of the present administration, so far as the Negro race is concerned, was the appointment of Dr. Joseph H. Ward as the head of the Vetrans Hospital at Tuskegee and the final settlement of the controversy over manning the institution with a colored personnel. President Harding had promised to see that colored physicians and nurses should be provided for this institution, to care for the disabled black soldiers of the world war, but the white South demanded control of it for the political patronage involved
President Harding died before his promise was redeemed, but the question was put to his successor, backed by all the forces of persuasion that the race could command. Political differences and interests were submerged in the carniness of the demand that the interests of the black soldiers be made the first consideration. The Negro press for once was a unit in demanding that the pledge of the administration be kept, regardless of the opposition of the local whites, backed up by the Ku Klux Klan.
The gradual weeding out of the white appointees and their replacement by colored physicians was the work of months, finally culminating in the appointment of Dr. Ward as the head of the hospital. The fact that an institution of this size and character could be exclusively and efficiently manned by members of the Negro race was a revelation of more than passing significance. It showed the possibilities that underlay the efforts of the race to attain an equal standing in the arts and sciences, with the scant opportunities and many obstacles thrown in its path. It scored one more step on the road to progress.
Now the question arises was the full measure of merit accorded in the appointment of Dr Ward that the position carried. It has been stated from reliable sources that the white hospital head who preceded him received a salary of $7,500, while the present incumbent receives only $5,000. The ques-
tion arises why should not the same salary be given Dr. Ward' that was paid to his predecessor. Were not both these heads appointed on the same plane, to perform the same duties and to accept the same responsibilities?
If there is any valid and sufficient reason for this disparity in the compensation paid for the same position, it would be well for the head of the Veterans' Bureau to make that reason known.
PARTY RESPONSIBILITY
PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.
The theory and practice of this government, from its foundation, have been based upon the division of the voters into two great parties, differing in various degrees upon certain questions of internal or external policy. Since the great question of slavery and the right of certain States to secede from the Union was fought out in the Civil War, the differences in policy between the Republican and the Democratic parties have gradually diminished. The greatest issue between them since has been the attitude of the North and the South on the recognition of the changed status of the Negro, as one of the results of that struggle.

The greatest issue between them since has been the attitude of the North and the South in the recognition of the changed status of the Negro, as one of the results of that struggle. This difference has grown to be more question of sections than of parties, as we find little difference between the actions of Republicans and Democrats in certain Northern States in recognizing Negro citizenship, whereas both Democrats and Republicans of the Lilywhite stripe oppose it in the South. The result of this confusion of party policies has been to weaken party responsibility in matters affecting the Negro and to loosen the ties that formerly bound the race as a whole to the Republican party.
Party responsibility has also relaxed or other issues as was shown in the formation of various blocs in the last Congress and the failure to secure a Republican majority to support an administration of its own faith. The net result of this loosening of party allegiance has been a division of authority and the lack of responsible government. Resistance against the established order has been encouraged and authority weakened to such a degree as to almost destroy the feeling of party responsibility for the conduct of the government.
A significant indication of the present campaign is the likelihood of Republican gain in the next Congress. While this gain is responsible government will be felt most in the House of Representatives, its influence in strengthening the next administration, if President Coolidge should be elected will be marked. It affords an additional reason why the voters of Harlem should strive to give Dr. Charles H. Roberts such an overwhelming majority as to redeem the district from the Democrats. There are other districts where the same result should be possible, but the Negro voters have a special incentive in returning Dr. Roberts at the head of the poll. Such a victory would confirm their right to representation in the most emphatic manner.
The same principle of party responsibility applies to State issues. During Governor Smith's term of office the differences between a Republican assembly and a Democratic Senate and executive have prevented the passage of much needful legislation and the carrying out of reforms in the State government. The responsibility for State government should be entrusted to one party for the other. The most practical way would be to elect Col. Roosevelt and a Republican legislature, including Pope Billups as an assemblyman.
With a return to the old system of party responsibility for government and the division of the North and South on other political issues than the Negro, a healthier condition of politics would be restored. There would be less fear of the introduction of such dangerous elements as domination by the Ku Klux Klan or the communist. The issue of good government could be made sure, with the reminder that the government which governs least is the best for the orderly and self-respecting people.

SLACKERS AMONG OUR VOTERS.
Under the headline of "Too Lazy to Vote," the New York Evening Post ventured the opinion that the record of the American voter grows worse and worse. It showed that eighty per cent of all those qualified voted in 1890; 66 per cent in 1908; 62 per cent in 1912 and only 50 per cent in 1920. According to this writer, the vote slacker usually can be found in a white collar and a black coat. He is more likely to be a professional or business man who neglects to vote not only because of his business but also because he prefers to give the holiday to sport or pleasure.

While this may be true of the men and women of the social grades arraigned in the Post article, there are also slackers to be found in other groups of voters. In the colored community of Harlem there should have been many more thousands of voters registered than now appear on the books. Thus does not lose sight of the fact that the large group of aliens whose vote Marcus Garvey so grandly promises to the Democrats, have failed to become naturalized and hence can
Djisregarding this alien element, there are many colored Americans who fall both to register and vote. Some of these have come from the South within the last few years, where the part of discretion forbade their attempt to vote. Others fail to appreciate the importance of exercising the franchise as a means of improving the status of the race. Others would plead the excuse that they did not have the time or could not take the trouble to visit the polling place.
No one who has properly registered should fail to take the time and trouble to vote. The time required is not long, if one goes to the polling place early. The trouble is slight, if the voter has made up his mind how to vote and learned how to mark his ballot properly. Every qualified voter should go to the polls next Tuesday morning as early as possible and get his ballots, of which there will be three in this city. Enter the first empty booth and on the presidential ballot mark an "X" in the circle representing the party of your choice. Where it is desired to vote for individual candidates on a ballot make the "X" before the name. If in favor of the constitutional amendment providing for additional State parks, mark the "X" before the word "yes" on ballot. Do not be a a "vote slacker." Vote at all events.
Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings Of Other Editors
Editor C. N. Love of the Teras Freeman, published at Galveston, thinks that he could write a book, "a mighty good campaign book at that, from a Republican point of view, if he were so inclined." He continued
Such a book would involve every forward and backward step by both white and colored leaders from the memorable republican state contention at San Antonio in 1890, when the "lily white" and the "black and tans" were born, to the state convention at Fort Worth in 1892, when the republicans indented Judge George Clark of Waco for governor, thence to the state convention at Dallas in 1894, when a Negro, Prof A H Colwell of Bryan, was nominated as state superintendent of public instruction and when Dr John Grant of Sherman, a very practical lily-white, was taken up by Negroes and lifted out of obscurity to the chairmanship of the republican state executive committee
Editor Lane would then cite 1895 and the time and circumstance that proved that the creature was greater than his creator as was evidenced at St Louis, Mo., when the lamented William McKeeh was cleared from group of or more cadets for more serious reasons, the bearer of republicanism and when Dr. John Grant, with the assistance of Mark Hanna crucified the Negro leader who made him
The Indianapolis Freemen, which has waged unrelenting warfare upon the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana politics, devoted a leading editorial to nailing two or three campaign lies. One of these was as follows
Lie No. 3. All white people are Kluxes and you had as well for one as another. Here we have a very shrewd lie. All white men are no Klantmen. There are in all parties thousands of white men too clean too intelligent too American to be associated with the Klan or any other organization that would extract, hinder or oppress any class of American citizens. There are thousands of white men who repudiate as false and dangerous, the doctrine of white supremacy or Nordic fobbing, who believe that Negro should participate in his government and enjoy blessings as every other group of citizens. There are thousands of white Americans who believe that God has made of one blood the nations of the earth and that superiority is a matter of character and principles and not race or place of birth.
That is the same and sensible refutation of a wholesale slander of a white people put in circulation merely to condone the infiltration of Klanism. No excuse transparent excuse should avail to should the klan from condemnation at the polis.
The St. Luke Herold had the following comment on the coming of the Virginia State Fair to Richmond, which included the closing of schools and businesses places on the legal holiday known as Richmond Day giving many people an opportunity to attend.

A voter may well feel great respect and liking for President Coolidge and yet prefer, to cast his vote for Mr. Davis. I borrow a little of your space to give the reasons of one voters for doing so? First—I fell with many others that the course of the United States in our dealings with Europe since the great war has been ignoble, discreditable and sure to result in unfortunate consequences, not only to the rest of the World but to ourselves. We were assured by the leaders of the Republican Party in 1920 that the election of Mr. Haydring would mean an association with foreign powers which would be equivalent to the League of Nations with proper reservations. They must have believed that such an association was desirable. This assurance has been absolutely disregarded and Mr. Coolidge, as soon as he was called to the Presidency, made haste to tell the country that such an association was not to be considered, and it is clear that the policy which has been pursued since 1920 will be adhered to. No chance
corn, cotton, tomatoes, grains, canned goods, and all the various industries which engage our people, attracted general attention and praiseworthy remarks from spectators. Many prizes were taken by the exhibits from the colored people. Then there came the handicraft and needle work which亮丽 sagged the minds of the people who reviewed them. This, however, should not astonish and confound the judgment of the public: There is a background of Negro handicraft that reaches all the way back to Africa. There, the missionaries, return from time to time, see and bring back some of the iron stone and woodworks which seem impossible to accomplish with the means possessed by the natives. Yet, in spite of this handicap, these people of dark Africa have evidenced their capacities in this field of effort.
The Herrell urged our people in Virginia to take better advantage of the opportunities offered by the State Fair Association in the matter of entering their exhibits
The Pittsburgh American in discussing the act of Congress authorizing the comage of silver fifty cent pieces to aid the Confederate memorial monument at Stone Mountain, Georgia concluded that the United States government had capitulated to the rebels. It said
The Southern rebels have been persistent in their program to stage a "comeback." They have been successful. They have come North, engaged the pulpits in very great numbers, control the daily press and in general hold positions in which they are able to dictate the policies of the Country. They will as evidenced by the Ku Klux Klan is supreme in some of the Northern states and is fighting for supremacy in others. They are contending for principles which are sure to hurt the Nation into another civil war. The President of the United States, by aiding and abetting their program with legislation favorable to their cause, is fanning the flames which are now leaning skyward.
The extension of government aid and sanction to the Stone Mountain project is certainly putting a premium on rebellion and reason. When the legal courage of the country is used to honor the memory of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, it locks as if the Confederacy had won over the effort or Lincoln Grant and Sumner.
Reviewing the stand of Senator LaFollette on nine issues of prime interest to our people the Cleveland Gazette pronounced it a splendid record and is undoubtedly the cause of so very many thousands of our voters lifelong Republicans, being in the La Follette camp today. It added
It was President Warren G. Harding who advised Afro-Americans to divide their support among the parties who issues as a basis, and they are certainly doing this time. In the 'Solid South' will also take his advice and do the same thing, as seems probable, there will be a surprise awaiting the people of the country on the fifth of November next such as they have never had before.
The time for prophecy is a most over. The results of the greatest division of opinion that has yet obtained among the colored voters of the North will be apparent after the votes are cast and counted.
The Philadelphia Tribune charges that 160,000 citizens were ignored by the failure of the Board of Judges to place one colored American on the Board of Education. It added
The suggestion made by 160,000colored citizens of Philadelphia was reasonable just and equitable. There is no just reason for not giving it favorable consideration. The colored group like other classes are a part of this great race. They have hopes aspirations and ambitions. Their children must be educated in the public schools. Their interest in public we fare is just as great if not greater than that of any alien group. One of the two appointments made by the Board of Judges should have been given to a colored citizen. There are Negroes with equal intelligence and administrative skill as those appointed. Regardless of these facts justice demands that a Negro be placed on the Board of Education.
It was urged that the fight must continue until the Board of Judges realize the rightness of the cause and make the appointment desired. It is only in this point that the public school system of Philadelphia can be made truly American and segregation and discrimination abolished.

is to be expected from him or his party. Second—Before his election Mr Haiting denounced the action of the United States in Haiti and promised that it would change it. Under him and his Coolidge' however, the policy has been persisted in and, the attitude of the Government toward the report, which lies south of us has been inconsistent with the principles upon which the Government rests. In my judgment it is unjustified and dangerous to our future peace. It will not be changed by Mr. Coolidge or his party.
Third—Congress promised better leases
ace to give the Philippine Islands their
independence when they should be
established a stable government
committees of Congress were considering
the question this Sphing when Mr. C
idge wrote a letter in which he expressed
his opinion that the Filipinos were not
for independence and made a reason
that he would not approve any legislation
inconsistent with his views. He thought
to usurp the decision of a question which belongs to Congress to
determine the future of ten million
millions of people and our relations with
them without consulting their representative or ours. It is clear that we have nothing to hope from him or his party except claims of benevolent interest and definite delay. The interest of few Americans who are doing business in the islands outweigh the value of whole people
Fourth—The Democratic Party, the lead of Mr Wilson gave the country a good tariff and the Federal System, ended, our discredible group to break our agreement as to where the Panama Canal, earned the great war without corruption in the part of public officials, and the nation to a higher plane on the caution of international relations than it had ever known.
The Republican Party no sooner came into power than it began to use its power to benefit private citizens, passed the worst and most indiscriminate tariff bill that we have had to bear private interests, it turned over the papers of oil reserved for the nation to private owners, and it is unnecessary to recall the scandals which accompanied the process, the President made his personal doctor a Brigadier General the regular army and his political a Attorney General, without regard to the fitness of either, the intention of our disabled soldiers were placed in charge of an absolutely unfit and untried person, who though indicted never been tried, and the leaders in party in Congress returning to support the President showed a concession an incapacity, a wrongheadedness in dealing with taxation, with gratuities to soldiers and other matters which showed how little we can hope free that party if these men are returned in Congress.
Fifth—Mr Davis has been tried in various departments of public service—the Legislature of West Virginia—the Congress of the United States—the Solicitor General as Ambassador to England, and wherever his question has been tested he has shown exceptional ability and a breadth of view where my judgment prove him better suited to the Presidency than any other man in the country. He has shown his courage by his direct attacks on the Ku Klan which the Republican Party and Mr Coolidge have been afraid to organize and which today threaten our operation. Our laws the equal to our citizens and all that is more in our government.
Mr Davis has promised his court fellow citizens that he will make a distinction between Americans on a basis of race or color, and they the member with gratitude that a General his conspicuously appointed secured a decision from the preme Court that the grand clause in Southern constitution conflict with the Constitution of United States, and a favorable clause in the Alabama contract case. Him they may expect justice and age, which is all that they can afford a President, since the Civil laws of the United States are assure their equal rights. On what seem to me the situations of the day Mr. Cox's judgment is wrong and Mr. Fair right, and, therefore I shall Mr. Davis MOOREFIELD STORE - Boston, Mass. Oct. 20 1924

First Emmanuel Church
A glorious day was enjoyed by all who attended the services at the church Sunday, in the morning Pastor Bolden preached from the text, "Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there he who go antherat. Because strait is the gate, and norrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there he hat find it". St. Matthews 7:11, 14.
Pastor Bolden said: "All the words of our Lord had the element of dynamite within them. Then, too, there was the prophetic note in His sayings. He understood the spirit that actuated the people of His day and humanity of all times and everywhere These words of His show that He knew the tendency of human beings in their social activities According to record, our Lord the Emanuel was coming to the close of the great and matchless sermon that He delivered on The Mount He is anxious for His followers and those who heard Him to distinguish between the two ways over which human beings move toward the certain end, human dissolution. He declared that the wide gate and the broad way led to destruction.
M. H.
and that many there be which go in thereat; but because stript is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, few there be that find it. Hence He urges His hearers to enter in at the strak gate. The Holy Spirit is enlightening the mind of believers and followers of our Lord to-day in regard to the truth of our Emmanuel's teaching. We see that ease, pleasure, and pursuit of senual things absorb the mind and spirit of the general public. We know that the social life of the young people is affected and influenced by the selfish, greedy, exploiting and lawless, prejudiced, race and class environment, and that this environment leads to physical and mental destruction. The Holy Spirit cautions and admonishes the disciples of our Lord to enter the gate that is strait, perfect and ideal. He would have us to walk the narrow way of holliness, peace and love. He would have us to be active, in demonstrating upon this way good will to our fellowman; for He ensures us that this way leadeth unto life; pure life, holy life, eternal life with the Trinity. And few there be that find it. For this life is in His Son, Jesus, the Christ, our Lord the Emmanuel.
The Sunday-school was opened at the usual hour by the superintendent, Rev William H. Hogan. At the close of the lesson study a review of the lesson was given by Master Kenneth Bough and Miss Beatrice Lyghts.
At 4:30 the Literary Society convened, Mrs. Daisy Coleman having charge of the program. It was as follows: recitation, Beatrice Lyghts, trgo, Messrs. Coleman, Townsend, and Staten, paper, Mrs. Daisy Coleman; duet, Mr. and Mrs. Staten, solo, William Townsend, remarks, Mr O'Farrar, talk, William Townsend.
The evening service was largely at tended. Pastor Bolden continued his discourse of the morning sermon. Splendid music was rendered by the choir. At the close of the evening service, reports were made by both captains Townsend and Coleman of the money collected for the Fall-Rally Both Mr Coleman and Mr Townsend will make their final report to the church on Sunday.

On Friday evening, October 31, a Biblical play will be given at the church, entitled "The Queen of Sheba."
Mother Zion Church.
At 10:30 a.m., Sunday, October 26,
the services of the Junior Church were
held in the lecture room. A number of
young people were present. The open
devotional exercise was inspiring. 12.
Brown preached. He expressed gratification at seeing so many young, people present, but urged each boy and girl to invite other boys and girls to attend. He announced his text from Hebrew 12.2,
calling attention to the game, "Follow Your Leader", in which everybody had to follow the leader. After a number of appropriate illustrations he closed by urging the young people to follow Jesus who is the real leader.
With this service closed, Dr. Brown then entered the pulpit in the main auditorium. After making a strong appeal in the interest of the building fund contributions were made by the members and friends.
The pastor announced his text from Isaiah 64:6. His sermon subject was "Fading Leaves". The speaker said in part: The miracle of the unfolding leaves which we see in the Springtime, and this trees which we behold in the summer all clothed in verdure of green, give evidence that the garments of the trees would never fade. But we know that this appearance is only temporary. There is a tendency to overlook the fact that our mortal condition is fading. We think of life as something we possess, rather than a thing we are losing. This deception is aided by the quick removal of the decayed and fading portion of the living world. We see more of the living than we do of the dead, and forget that life is but a leaf. These autumn days remind us of our mortality.
The fading leaves remind us of the shortness of our lives. Yesterday we were young like the plants in the Springtime, filled with beauty and vitality. Today we are in the middle of life, strong and vigorous. Tomorrow the sun of our life's day begins o set, and we make our way toward the western hills. The lustre the sprightness and the fragrance of life's morning has been blighted and chilled by the autumn of our days.

The series between the Lincoln
Giants and the Bronx Giants for the
semi-professional baseball champion
ship of the Bronx came to a close on
Sunday afternoon. October 26 when
the Lincoln Giants scored 24 runs in
the doubledheader, winning both
grances.
On the previous Sunday, Milt taston, of the staff of the New York Yankees, told the colored team to fire scattered hits. This Sunday he was sent to the mound again to pitch the first game and the Lincoln, led by little Benne Wilson, hit all over the lot. Wilson made five singles, two fives at bat and scored four runs diving. The game. Clinton Smith was also in unusual sitting form and made four hits. The next time he was dived by the unusually good pitching on John Loch, who allowed only five hits during the game. The final score was 12-1.
In the second contest the white team changed the entire personnel of their lineup and put Cornwald in to pitch
He did a little better than Gaston, but received poorer support. less Hubbard was the pitcher for the Lincoln's game in addition to shutting the visitors out with only three hits he also did well at bat himself, getting the only home run of the game and a two bigger in three times at bat. The game was called at the end of the sixth inning because of darkness, with the score 12 0 in favor of the Lincoln's. Among the big league players used by the Bronx Giants in addition to Gaston were Heine Zimmerman, now a baseball's black jacket, Getring of the Hartford and New York Yankees; Whitty Ross Dietz and several players from Rochester Buffalo, and other state league teams.
The box scores were as follows:

JOHNNY HUDGINS IS CENTRAL FIGURE IN SUPREME COURT ACT
Shuberts and Winter Garden Co., Haled Into Court By Whitney, Who Is Suing For Actor's Services.
For the first time in theatrical annuall have Pival management gone to court on the question on whether or not the services or a colored performer are "unique and extraordinary." Bertram C. Whitney, producer of "The Chocolate Bandles (formerly known as "In Bamville") at the Colonial, New York had an opportunity on October 27 to argue its cause for a temporary injunction against Johnny Hudgins, Lee and J. J. Shubert and the Winter Garden Company before Justice Mitchell in the New York Supreme Court.
Hudgins was formerly principal comedian in the colored show at $200 a week before joining the Club Alabama (cabaret) at twice the salary, and also appearing at the Winter Garden in Sunday Saundville concerts.
Whitney sets tooth he bought Hudgins to ease from irons and damages Columbia burlesque show, "Town Scandals" where the colored come received $125 weekly. Whitney signed him June 3, 1924 at $150 weekly up to Sept 1, 1924, with the salary increasing to $200 thereafter for the run of the play. The defendants are alleged to have cutted Hudgins away from Whitney's management. The plaintiff cites the favorable notice the comedian received and that outside of Lew Payton, who are so authorized "Chocolate Danues" with Sylce and Blake Hudgins was the highest salaried member of the cast Sylce and Blake are seemingly financially interested in this production other than on a salary basis. Sender and Goldstein for Hudgins will contend he is not unique and extraordinary and that Whitney breached his contract by cutting salaries and having off the show for two weeks.

MUSIC NOTES
Wm. Lawrence Planist,
Accompanist for Hayes.
Is A Surpassing Artist
It was succinctly put by one of the auditors at the Roland Hayes recital last Saturday afternoon at Carnegie Hall, who on being introduced to William Lawrence Mr Hayes accompanies said, "I came to hear one artist, but I have had the pleasure of listening to you". The commendation was well deserved, for Mr Lawrence's masterly and sympathetic work contributes largely to the artistic success of recitals. He possesses a facile and adequate technique, to which is added intellectual breadth and cultivated comprehension. The playing of Mr Lawrence is a distinctive and valuable contribution to the singer's programs.
The second monthly artist's recital at the North Salisbury Music School, Inc. in North West London street, will present
Sonoma Caroline Talley, pianist. Miss Talley is a member of the faculty of the school, and also conducts at private studio at S8 Edgecombe avenue. She is a Flak University graduate and took the artist's course at the Damrosch Institute for Musical Art, New York City. She is one of the race's outstanding young musicians, and her program is sure to be of interest.
It is a source of deep regret that the continued illness of Miss Dainy Tapley, at her residence, 165 West 130th street, is of a serious nature. For weeks she has been prostrated and notwithstanding the constant and unremitting care of loving friends, she does not show the desired improvement. She was greatly cheered on last Saturday, when, following his Carnegie Hall recital, Roland Hayes motored up and called to see her. Hundreds of friends, pupils and acquaintances are praying daily for her early and complete restoration to health and strength.
William Service Bell,' baritone, announces a recital at Williams Institutional Church, 218 West 130th street, the Rev W. Y. Bell, pastor, on Friday evening, November 14, at which time he will present a number of new songs by two young race composers of exceptional ability, Edward H. Margetson and William Astor Morgan. Mr Bell has studied with N. H. Allen, A. G. D.; Marcel Oliger, Academie Francais; and the late David Bispham.

RADIO DEPARTMENT
LUDLOW W. WERNER
Every radio station is provided with a system of wires attached high in the air, and if possible, above surrounding objects. This system of wires is called aerial or antenna system and its function is to intercept the electromagnetic waves which the transmitting stations cause to radiate. That the sale and arrangement of the aerial will greatly enhance the efficiency and range of the receiving set is a fact too often disregarded by the radip novice. In fact there is a poor aerial system the amateur will be greatly hand-trapped even though he may have the most elaborate radio set.
The site selected for the aerial should be such that if it will not be in the immediate neighborhood of any tall or metallic object, such as telephone wires, rools, smoke-stacks, chimneys, trees, etc., because such objects absorb an appreciable amount of energy, and may noticeably affect the incoming waves when the set is receiving. If these obstacles can not be removed, and the aerial must of necessity be located in the vicinity, the aerial should be elevated as high as possible above them.
When necessity demands the erection of an aerial near telegraph, telephone or high voltage wires, the aerial should be so arranged that it is at right angles to such wires. The "free end," that is, the end opposite to where the lead-in is connected, should be located farthest away.
There are a few things which must be taken into consideration at this point. They are:
1. The aerial should be located in such a position that the free end is higher than the set
2. The end of the aerial which is connected to the set should be higher than the set.
3. Aerials receive best when erected in certain directions. If possible take advantage of the directional features.
4. Have as short, a lead-in as possible
5. Solder all connections on the aerial to insure good contact
6. Do not pull the aerial wire too taut when erecting it. Allow some slack to take care of any swaying tendency in the mast. If the aerial is too taut in the winter and ice cake on it, the wire will almost invariably snap.
Composition of the Aerial
There are various types of aerial wire One is the single strand No. 14*B S. gauge copper wire This, as a rule is satisfactory but care must be exercised in handling the wire as

Big Crowd Expected
At Lincoln-Hampton
Game In Philadelphia
The guest important football clash of the present weekend will be the Lincoln-Hampton clash at the National League Park in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon November 1. Hampton and Lincoln are ancient rivals and have placed fourteen times, the first meeting being in 1909. Of the fourteen. Hampton has won nine Lincoln fear and one was forfeited by the Pennsylvania team. This is the first meeting of the two teams in Philadelphia and will be the only big colored game in the Quaker City this season. From present indications there will be fifteen or twenty thousand friends of both institutions from all parts of the East to witness the game.
Coach Young's Lincoln lineup will be at follows: Lancaster Kent, Grant Greaty Ward, West, Creup Park, Red Lee and Anderson. The Hampton lineup will include Davis
it is not as flexible as most other types. A good wire to use is the seven strand copper wire. This wire is of the same size as the 14 B. S. but is made up of seven strands each one being of No. 23, B. S. gauge. This type of wire is the favorite among amateurs as it is flexible, easy to work with, and offers far greater surface than the single strand wire.
Recently manufacturers have produced other types of antenna wire. One is the spring aerial type and as its name implies is made in the form of a spring. Another type is the ribbon aerial and as its name implies is made in the form of a thin ribbon of copper. A type of aerial which is not so good for city use is the plug aerial which is used from an electric socket. This is not so good in the city where there are no overhead electric light wires. However in some locations the novice will get good results with a plug aerial.
Good insulation on an aerial is of great importance. There are several good types of insulators. For a light aerial aerial the ordinance or goreclain clata will serve well, but for heavier aerials a stronger insulator must be used. Insulators made of electrose are the best for heavy aerials as they embody two important features they are good insulators and they can stand tremendous weight.
For ordinary receiving purposes, the best aerial to use is a single wire with a stretch of 100 to 125 feet Height is an important factor in an aerial Length is important in an aerial, too. A long aerial will be good for distance work, but it has the objectable feature (that is, if the receiving set is not a sharp tuning set) of picking up a great amount of code. Too short an aerial is not very good because it makes the set tune too sharply.
Some radio fans get good results with an indoor aerial. This type of aerial With a set using several stages the mouldings. The wire best for use for an indoor aerial is No 18 B S. gauge D C C Although single cotton covered wire is good, the double cotton covered wire is best because of the extra insulation.
Another type of aerial is the loop aerial with a set using several stages of radio-frequency amplification this type of aerial is good but with the ordinary receiver the loop is useless, as it tunes too sharply

By Dr. B. S. HERBEN
Of the New York Tuberculosis

The nervous stability of babies and children and the nervous pulse of adult life depends upon many factors. Proper nutrition, even before and after birth is essential and the quietness with which the child is surrounded is essential also. All of these factors which make for perfection in development have a long expected influence which goes on indemnitely and probably until the end of life. Dr. Josephine Baker makes the steatement that many nervous conditions and diseases of adult life are results of improper care in childhood.
An infant, as I said in the preceding article, needs quietness. A baby should not be allowed to be spoiled by any member of the family. A spoiled baby becomes a nervous, irritable and spoiled child. The word, "spoiled" is a good one, for it describes the result. The disposition instead of being happy unselfish, thoughtful, becomes the opposite and the time comes when other children and adults will shun the child because it is no longer pleasant to be with him. So is the life of a "spoiled child" spoiled and his full happiness denied him. Worse

than this, there will come a time when the untrained, unpossed selfish individual must "buck up against" unpleasant, or difficult responsibilities of life and then there is apt to follow the 'nervous breakdown—the painful' inability to bear up under the ordinary burdens of life. The nervous crash which comes when the crisis of maturity arrived can often be traced to poor training and poor care during childhood.
Parents have something to think of beside the temporary comfort which comes from giving into a wilful child. They should realize that the precious power of adaptability and self-restraint as well as the capacity for confidence and assertion of ability are founded in healthy nervous-systems and proper training of the mind.
Children may be naturally endowed with super-abundant nervous powers, and these "high strung" children need more care than the others that they may get, these wondrous powers under control.

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret
Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face.
One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen.
Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my scalp complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemshes, it has no equal.
If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25% at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the

Silboam Church, Brooklyn Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, preached to a large congregation at the Sunday morning service. He took his text from the subject: "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." The Christian has as his example to follow the life of Christ. By His Life we are taught the lesson of humility, of obedience, or love, and of service. If today a group of persons, or even one person, had the mind of Christ, the whole world would seek to know and to learn of that person or persons and the criticism of the Church, not as an organization, but as to those who make up the Chursch, would not be a obvious. We can all be the incarnation of humility, of love, of obedience, and have a free christianized personality.
At the evening service Elder Hall made a report of the thirtieth annual session of the Afro-American Council held in Philadelphia. The pastor made a report of the annual meeting of the Synod at Cortland, N. Y.

Urban League Asks For Fund To Relieve Cases Of, Suffering and Loss
Following the destruction of the 6-family apartment house at 143 West 128th street on Thursday morning, October 23, the New York Urban League, through a representative who chanced to be on the scene at the time, rendered valuable assistance to the distressed tenants. The building was completely gutted and the occupants lost all their household possessions, which in a number of cases included money and valuables which had been stored in trunks The Urban League representative found the tenants huddled on the sidewalk with no relief at hand. With the assistance of the owner of the building, Capt. Joshua Cockburn, shelter and food were provided for the sufferers and many of them were housed temporarily with friends.
The assistance given fell short of what was necessary because the Urban League was not in control of a fund which could be used for this sort of work. Many of the people who contribute to the League are of a mind that the money should be used for any, sort of social service need that might arise in the community, and the League is striving to spread the service over as wide an area as possible. But to be effective in its work the League has a definite program which must be allowed to. In this recent case the Association for the Improvement of the Poor cooperated through a rep-
resentative with the Urban - League Fortunately, the weather was clear and mild and this minimized the suffering.
To be equipped to deal with such emergencies, the New York Urban League is now making an appeal to the public for contributions to a fund to be used especially in relieving such cases of distress as this was. All names and amounts will be published, the League purposing to keep the public acquainted with whatever results may accrue from this appeal.
