Receiver Schwartz states it will be necessary for every depositor to sign a proof claim and leave the book at the bnak before any money will be paid. This is the first of a series of payments to be made to the Brown & Stevens creditors. It is expected the next will soon follow. On account of the large expense involved in handling such a large number of claims the receivers decided to pay off the small creditors first, as it would make a savings to the estate In the announcement Receiver Schwartz states "You will be glad to know that through the personal efforts and assistance of Mr. F C Brown, the Receiver has been able to save indirectly for the estate one of the large apartment houses in New York City.

A committee named by the club has been conferring with the club officials and Architect Mitchell has been called into the conference. The transaction it is believed by those familiar with the situation, will be the basis of a favorable report by the committee and this will almost certainly be approved by the lodge.

Stanley University, Washington, D. Dr. Durkee has been given ten days to make a decision in the matter but according to the Associated Press, he has already indicated his intention to accept the new post. He has for several weeks filled the pulpit of the Brooklyn Church at the request of the trustees and on February 8 was officially notified of a call to succeed Dr. Newell Dwight Hillus as pastor Dr. Hifis resigned on October 1 because of ill health Will Finish Present School Term Should Dr. Durkee accept the call he woud arrange to remain as head of Howard for the balance of the present school term. His resignation it is thought, will be tendered the Howard Board of Trustees at their spring meeting. Dr. Durkee has been president of Howard since 1918. During this time the university has made marked progress, both scholastic and material. But during the past year a section of the alumni have been extremely critical of the policies inaugurated by Dr. Durkee and last summer went so far as to demand his resignation. This last act was brought about by the dropping of several prominent members of the faculty and the discontinuance of certain courses of study. Although the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to stand by Dr. Durkee in his attitude it is believed that the criticism directed against him has done much to cause him to decide to give up educational work.

HUHERT, Executive Secretary New York Urban League 202 West 10th Street New York City Dr. Mr. HUHERT Pressure of the States business at the capital keeps me from greeting in person the delegates of the fifteenth annual conference of the National Urban League. I regret my absence all the more because the conference is the guest of the New York branch whose members I am glad to count as home-town friends and neighbors. It's an event of no more local significance however for your organization is dealing with vital problems affecting a large part of the National population. The progress of the coloured people of America is properly a source of pride to that race and to every white man who treasures the basic principles upon which our democracy is founded equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Easy Mobility Brings Changes If there is one characteristic of modern society which differentiates it from life even fifty years ago it is the speed with which changes take place today. This easy mobility has affected fundamental changes in the status of our colored fellow citizens. I need only refer to the last migration of colored people from the South to the industrial area of which there has cared with it in the industrial population of congested districts, such housing health and general living condition. Your organization throughout the country is dealing with them una constructive way. They are so difficult and complex that I congratulated you upon the existence of these Urban League branches which are serving as unengled agencies to solve them not only for colored but for all Americans. For I am one of those who believes that the same adjustment of the races in a spirit of tolerance and instigue is one of the most pressing Troops Called Out To Guard Prisoner in Georgetown, Del. Georgetown, Del.—Delagare goes on record following Kentucky in upholding the law by using the State's National Guards to protect a prisoner charged with criminal assault upon a 12 year-old girl from a lynching mob. Harry Butler was arranged for trial Monday in the County Court House, while his little victim was reported ill in a local hospital.

In his address, Mr Frayne said he brought good wishes and good will from President Green of the A F of L. Takup the matter of prejudice against the Negro laborer, Fayne asserted that the national body does not discriminate at all against a Negro, or against any race or creed. The doors of the A. F. of L. he declared, are opened wide. But, he admitted, there is discrimination in local unions—groups that have not learned that to close the door against any worker as not helpful to that cause of trade. He admitted that to break down this prejudice the "Negroes should "sell themselves to the white man," through educating the latter to the point of understanding the Negro's value as an industrial entity. Jesse O. Thomas, southern field secretary, National Urban League, cited facts showing a definite rivalry between the North and South for Negro labor. This had developed to the extent that in small towns in Georgia Negroes were not able to buy raffle tickets to northern schools, so they came to moderate point first, such as Memphis or Atlanta. In other states, said he, the interstate transfer of laborers by contractors is heavily taxed. And agents are sent North to traign back Negroes who have migrated. At the same time, Mr Thomas disclosed that Chambers of Commerce and other civic bodies are using "legitimate means" for Keeping Negro labor aboard the South for elementary and vocational schools and by campaigns for better rural understanding in such cities as Atlanta and Birmingham. Interracial Movements do Good Inter-racial movements, continued Mr. Thomas, are bringing about better conditions as is evidenced by conferences between white and colored college students, and the recent observance in Atlanta of Religious Emphasis Week in which both races took part when the Rew Mordecai W. Brown of West Virginia was invited to speak to white congregations, with non-segregation in scaring arrangements in the majority of white churches.

First the Brotherhood two delegates refused to sign agreement All delegates disgusted It is a victory for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Conference raised wages only 8 per cent. Brotherhood will go in for more. "Seen by an Age Representative, Mr Randolph only had the conference failed intuitively that was an insult to the porters, and that he had predicted such an outcome. The conference was called according to Mr Randolph in order to halt the amazingly rapid progress of the Union The Brotherhood compelled the company to call it The Brotherhood also compelled the company to grant the wage increase and to give back the porters' dittions. The Company realizes this, and consequently, it did not give the men at this Conference any higher increase than a painful 8 per cent, because it knew it would have to deal with the Brotherhood in the very near future and that it would have to grant another increase in wages, wake up and dissatisfaction have occurred by porters throughout the country because of the failure of the Conference. According to Mr. Randolph the Brotherhood is preparing its case to go before the Railroad Labor Board or any other government agency, which may have jurisdiction over this class of railroad workers in the very near future. It should be on the Brotherhood to rally, as it has done, for the per cent of the porters as an evidence of their whelming repudiation of the Wage Conference; and that the men realize that their only salvation lies in an organization of, by and for Pullman porters The Scotia Chapter Thanks to our friends and patrons The Sestia Chapter of New York City and visitors wish to thank their many friends for attending the Hope Chest contest and dance given on thursdays evening, January 21 at the Lake Auditorium.

Grenthal Introduces Bill To Change Party Control In N. Y. City Grenthal Introduces Bill To Change Party Control In N. Y. City Assemblyman Grenthal of the 19th A.D. of New York City, has introduced a bill in the State Assembly which provides that instead of five county committee chairmen, the City of New York would have one city-wide committee which would direct and control party polities, thus eliminating the situation of divided authority which obtains at present. "The City of New York, with approximately half the population of the State," said Mr. Grenthal, "frequently finds itself in opposition to the rest of the State regarding politics. It has never succeeded however in impressing its importance upon the State because of the divided authority in the city. "In the Republican party particularly, in which I am interested, we have three or four leaders in Brooklyn and one in New York. "The city is big enough to have a city leader who would represent the entire city in its political affairs. Intelligent city leadership should result immediately in more effective county leadership. "My proposed bill makes the head of the city committee an elective officer chosen by the enrolled voters of the city because I believe that to he the only way a city leader can be elected in which the mass of voters have confidence. "In New York County it is practically impossible to displace the chairman. He has so many district leaders under obligation to him that they are bound to support and re elect him to his office. Strong city leader should immediately be able to exert conditions in different of the city where divided responsibility has dissipated the Republican vote." Atlanta City Council Reconsiders Bill To Ban the Negro Barber Atlanta City Council Reconsiders Bill To Ban the Negro Barber Atlanta, Ga.—Almost instant reaction in the shape of protests from the Chamber of Commerce, the Georgia Manufacturers' Association and the laymen's Regional Conference and Methodist Church caused Councilman John White of the 4th ward to call for reconsideration of the ordinance passed by the City Council prohibiting Newco barbers from slaving white parrons. The strong protests from these leading white organizations stirred some of those who voted for the ordinance to a realization of the measure's unpopularity and several announced a willingness to vote for a reconsideration. Consequently when the City Council convened on Thursday, February 4, there was an almost uniform voice vote to reconsider the measure, and to hold a public hearing on the matter on Thursday, February 10. Would Ask Court Action Prior to the holding of the adjourned session of council, called by Alderman Claude Buchan, Mayor protegem a number of protests from various civic and commercial businesses had been tied with Mayor Simons' office by Hoffman, president of the Chamber of Commerce, deferred the chamber would go into the courts to enclose the office of enforcement the ordinance in control of its enactment. Councilman White, in moving for a reconsideration of the measure, said he had voted for it originally under a misapprehension that he had been threatened out in a public meeting meeting and a number of the councilmen had voted for the bill under the same conduct. The motion for reconsideration made by Councilman White was seconded by Councilman Gus Dobbles. Then a statement was introduced by Councilman Harry York from John W. Swain, president of the white house, stating that the measure was sponsored by that or organization. At the same time statements were read from the City Club and the Committee on Church Cooperation opposing the measure. The bill was originally introduced by Councilman D. W. Adams of the 12th Ward and he made a statement de la harpe he acted in good faith the best will as a Negro barber's large well as a Negro barber's and deserved an attorney at large license. To Have Public Committee Hearing The Human York then moved the art of a special committee for deliberation in the measure, as a substitute Councilman White moved that the measure be tabled by the senators should come through the State Legislature. Councilman Russell as a substitute both moved the measure to the Dainance Committee to public hearing. This was almost unanimously carried on a sly vote, and Chairman Horace of that committee set the tenth date for the measure provided that after June 1, Negro barter may serve on his patron, and vice versa. ahead of other men's faces, if Pro- fess in the Bible as the Word of God of us the face shall thou eat bread, and to peach therefrom that "In the sweet of other men's faces shall thou eat bread to my mind can scarcie be re- conciled with honest sincerity.

The devil's attempt was no more false and far, less hypocritical." "Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history.

Douglass At Astor House Editor of The New York Age: Much comment is going the rounds of the metropolitan journals concerning the passing of that old and famous hostess, the late Barbara Dawley and Vesey street, for the erection of a more imposing structure for office purposes. One journal, in speaking of the many celebrities who enjoyed the entertainment of this liberal hotel neglected to state that our own Frederick Douglass was also entertained there during his escape from slavery, through the assistance of the Underground Railroad. In 1863, the officer of Ann street and Broadway that whereupon Douglass tigned quickly and was lost in the Astor Hotel, whence he escaped to Canada. While the Astor House and its passing may not be of much interest to the average Negro citizen, yet it appears to the writer that the younger element should be informed that there was sufficient liberality to give one of their race a chance to attain better conditions.

LEADER COSTUMA NAMES BRONX MEMBER OF ASSEMBLY AS AUTHORITY FOR CHARGE THAT KOENIG CAUSED DEFEAT OF GRENTHAL BILL David E. Costuma, Republican executive committeeman from the 19th A. D., in response to an invitation from the chairman of the Resolutions Committee of the County Republican Committee, to attend a meeting of the Resolutions Committee and submit such information as he had to support the resolution which accused County Chairman Samuel S. Koenig of having brought about defeat of the Grenthal Rent Bill in the last Legislature, has informed the committee chairman that Assemblyman B. Democrat, of the Bronx, had given such information both to Assemblyman Greenthal and to himself. Costuma, in the presence of a reputable witness. After acknowledging receipt of the invitation to attend the "adjourned meeting" of the Resolutions Committee on Tuesday afternoon, February 9, at 4:30 o'clock, at County Committee headquarters, 105 West 140th street, Mr. Costuma wrote the chairman, Judge John R. Davies, under date of February 6, as follows: Leader Costuma's Letter. "The moving clause of my resolution called for the appointment of a special committee of five for this specific purpose of following up the Grenthal Bill in an effort looking toward the enactment of such legislation in the 1926 Session of the Legislature. It is my judgment that a special committee should be appointed for this purpose. If the Resolutions Committee does not agree with me, they will report against the resolution, but if they do agree with me, all that is needed is to report favorably on the enacting clause. I think that all members of the Committee are fully cognizant of the import of the measure in question and, of course, you, my dear Judge, are intimately familiar with its aims and purposes. It would seem to me that the scope of your Committee would cover just this phase and none other." "Where Information Came From." The other question involved, that is, the source of my information leading up to the introduction of this resolution would have been very properly handled if the acting chairman of the January meeting of the County Committee had adopted the recommendation offered by Judge Gilbert and Congress Perlman that a special committee, be appointed for the purpose of investigating the information given to me; I think you will agree that it was never intended that the function of the Committee of Resolutions should cover the scope of an investigation such as this matter would require I am only too willing and ready to cooperate with you in the siting of this matter, and in order that the picture may be clear before you, permit me to recite the following history "After the November meeting of the County Committee, when the Jesse Committee submitted a recommendation that the County Committee indorse the Grenthal Bill, and which recommendation was assailed on the floor of the County Committee by a number of members, one of whom I think was Mit Stanley Isaacs (who, I understand, represents several landlord organizations) the chairman suggested that the consideration of the Grenthal Bill he laid on the table for a future meeting, which suggestion the County Committee voted down. Grenthal Quotes Berg. Assemblman Grenthal repeated to me what had been told to him by Assemblman Berg of the Bronx after the close of the last session of the legislature. I did not introduce my resolution on Assemblman Grenthal's report but I had him arrange a lunchroom appointment with Assemblman Berg so that I could hear the story first hand and direct. Mr. Berg related to me the facts and circumstances upon which he based the statement that the defeat of the Grenthal Bill was due to the personal activity of the Chairman. I would also add that I arranged a second meeting with Assemblman Berg and brought with me a highly estimable citizen who heard 14-Yr. Old Girl, Gone For Month, Found With Harlem Theatre Porter Margaret Brown, a 141, year old school girl, living at 676 St Nicholas avenue, disappeared from home on December 28 and was missing until January 29. She was found at the Cedar Theatre by Leight Sauder welfare officer of the 10th Precinct, and taken to the Police Station and questioned. She stated that she had run away because her mother had spanked her and that during her month's absence from home she had lived part of the time with one Uncle. Who lived at 33 West 131st street Christian works as organist and porter at Franklin Theatre 132nd street and Lenox avenue. The other man she accused is Howard George 36 years old, of 26 West 16th Street George a porter at the Old Street Theatre 14th street at the 5th avenue. Both were held for imprisonment in the 12th District Magistrate Court on Monday charged with theft. The girl, here held by the Childress Her mother, who is a reptile woman and a cat owner, in a prominent downtown office, to hear broken case her daughter conduct. Both the and a counsel certified there was no occasion for the child leaving home. The correction the child received was deserved and judged. They are at a loss to understand why the child should have left home. When the case came up on Monday, Christian was held for action of the guard put her George was the charged --- Mr. Berg recite in detail the various incidents. Upon this information given me, first, in the presence of Assemblyman Greathal and secondly in the presence of another witness, I felt thoroughly justified in the introduction of my resolution." Urges Special Committee. "This is all the information I am able to give you on the subject and I strongly urge that your Committee recommend the appointment of a Special Committee charged with the sole purpose of investigating the entire matter, or, and I think this course would be more fruitful, suggest to the County Committee that one of the Assemblymen from New York County move for the appointment of a Legislative Committee so that all records incident to a complete investigation would thus be available and which Committee could call on Assemblyman Berg to repeat what he twice told me." The Resolutions Committee, at its meeting on Tuesday, took up the letter written by Mr. Costuma, but decided to take no action further than reporting the entire matter back to the County Republican Committee. Judge John R Davies, chairman, said afterwards that several other letters had been received from members of the Legislature the tenor of which was to deny that Koenig had worked against the Grenthal bill. He said: As no evidence sustaining the charge was produced, we shall accordingly submit a report disappointing the County resolution in the most meeting of the Executive Committee and the County Committee on March 18." Mr. Koenig did not attend the meeting, but was in his office in an adjoining room. Members of the committee present were Charles D Hiles, Justice Sidney C Crane, Eli Rosenberg, Miss Sarah Schuyler Butter, Charles Griffiths, Francis O'Neil and Mrs. Nellie Wilson. Mrs. Brown Raises $250,000 for Palmer Institute In 1 Year Mrs. Brown Raises $250,000 for Palmer Institute In 1 Year (Continued From First Page) ence as Talladega College in Alabama—Straight College in New Orleans and Bricks Junior College in North Carolina. Fred L. Brownlee, secretary of the American Missionary Association, after going over the plant thoroughly made the agreement with the principal and trustees over a year ago, with a provision that at the time the be made that the fund of $300,000 be raised for the erection of buildings and to help establish a permanent endowment fund for the school. This marked the beginning of the big campaign which has just been completed through the tireless efforts o f the principal, with the assistance of Mr. Loder, the business manager for the school, and Miss Lee and Mr. Rudley, the stenographer and bookkeeper. These two young people are one and the same, needed for their uniting labo and after-hours work in assisting Mrs. Brown and Mr. Loder in this great effort $75,000 From Galen L Stone The campaign began January 1, 1925, with the goal set for $150,000, one half of the required amount, as this amount was required before the A M A would take the school over, the remaining $150,000 to be raised within the next five years. Mrs Brown laid her proposition earnestly before Mr. Galen I. Stone of Boston, a trustee of the school, and annual contributor of $1,500, who after careful consideration of the proposition, sent her the following telegram Boston, Mass., January, 1925 Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, N.C. After careful reconsiderations of your problems Mrs Stone and I are willing to subscribe seven thousand dollars toward the one hundred, fifty thousand dollar fund, subject to the following condition that payment shall not be binding until the whole one hundred, fifty thousand is subscribed. GALEN I STONE Mr. Stone is a retired Wall Street broker and was formally a member of the Hayden Stone Company of New York City. Mr. Stone was also a very close friend of Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer for whom the Palmer Memorial Institute is named. Greenahoro Folka Give $25,000 With the generous gift of Mr. and Mr. Stone, the amount was cut in half, but the effort continued with the same force, and thousands of people were approached by personal appeal and through the mails. A twenty-five thousand dollar campaign was started in Greensboro among the white and colored friends of the school, to which from $1 to $1,000 was subscribed. Quite a few of the white friends pledged $500 and several as much as $1,000. Such generous gifts from our southern white friends show clearly the good feeling that the white people of the community and general locality have toward the school and the work that it is doing. The cooled friends of the school both North and South called me nicely to the cause and this in a large measure added to the success of the campaign for in many instances people were induced to give due to the fact that the Newcomers themselves were doing all they could to help for a worthy cause for their own pleas Among the large donations were K. Land Hayes Dr. D. Strawat L. and George Mitchell W. W. Peak and Dr. M. Rivera M. many others contributed in amounts to $ 10,000 In this manner the cause was carried on throughout the New England States and portions of the other sectigs of the country, both North and South B N Duke of New York City contributed $ 7,000 and many other friends of the North contributed as high as $ 1,000 Stone Gives $16,000 More Our many friends contributed so splendidly that on January 1, 1926, the date set for the close of the campaign, Mr. Stone was so overjoyed at the success of the effort that he consented to relieve the school of all outstanding debt, amounting to $16,000, making his gift a total of $91,000, and leaving the school free of all incumbrance for 1926. The amount given by Mr. Stone, plus the assistance of Mrs. Brown with the assistance of the trustees, plus the amounts pledged annually, the next five years, places the figure at present at $250,000. Nearly 2,000,000 Negro children of school age never see the inside of a school house. This striking fact alone makes it easy to understand why the Negroes are highest in literacy of any racial group in the country, this at a time when restricted immigration has checked the labor supply, when trained mechanics are at such a premium that their leaders can virtually make any terms with their employers, and when the demand for high-grade domestic help, for another thing, far exceeds the supply With more education, and with education of a sort suited to his needs, the Negro could meet many of the industrial and domestic needs of the time. Where The School Is Located Sedalia is a quiet rural village, consisting of forty or more families, mostly colored people. It is ten miles east of Greenboro, N. C, and 4½ miles from McLennsville, the county seat of the National Highway from Washington to Atlanta. A post office was established for the school The school has grown from the status of one teacher, one building and 55 students, in 1901—to fifteen teachers, five buildings (main building, dormitory for girls, dormitory for boys, dining hall and kitchen, modern barn) and 225 students in 1924. The enrollment was 250, until two serious fires destroyed two of our dormitories. With these two buildings replaced the school could take care of 300 students, of whom 200 would be boarders, without increasing the overhead expense of the school's property is valued at $200,000. In addition to the buildings enumerated above, there is a holding of 305 acres, valued at $50 to $100 an acre. The main building, dedicated to Alice Freeman Palmer, is a splendid structure, with all modern improvements. The Course of Instruction The course of instruction given is of a double nature. The school gives the regular course of academic instruction specified by the state from the primary grades on up through high school. It also offers a course in music, which includes instrumental, vocal and choral singing. In addition to the academic work, there is a special industrial training in daily period of an hour and half. Furthermore, all the work around the school is performed by the students. The industrial courses are in three groups: a. Agriculture; b. Home Economics; c. Manual Training What Other People Are Saying "Mrs Brown is a power for good not only in the Palmer Memorial Institute, but in Greensboro and community. She has been sent for on several occasions for conferences, and, in fact, she has exhibited greater ability and discretion along this line than anyone I know of. If her influence could be extended throughout the whole country the race problem would be solved Yours sincerely, I P WHARTON, Greensboro Capitalist "More than any other woman of my acquaintance, Mrs Brown has the calmly enthusiastic religious courage which distinguished Mrs. Palmer Mrs Brown has, too, Mrs Palmer's clear judgment and tact. In steering the school through these difficult years, every one of her decisions has been sagacious Prof George Herbert Palmer, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass." "It is fitting that we should support Mrs Charlotte Hawkins Brown and the admirable work she is doing on the Palmer Memorial Institute because Mrs Brown was educated in Cambridge, and her school is named for Alice Freeman Palmer, whose strong educational influence was exerted from Cambridge for many years. We have known Mrs Brown, the founder and promoter for many years and have greatly admired her intelligence, courage and compassion. He has acquired his white neighbors and respect of her very remarkable degree, and it is on that account, among others undergoing the best kind of service to her race. The Palmer Memorial Institute has demonstrated its serviceability, and deserves the support of all friends of effective education for the Southern Negroes. Sincerely yours, Charles W. Lint President Emmentus, Harvard University." "I have very pleasant memories of my visit at your school. You have done a fine work, have almost 'made breaks without straw.' The whole appearance and spirit of your students and teachers as well as the physical appearance of your buildings and grounds impressed me very pleasantly, and I wish for your greatest support from the generous public North and South. You serve for that you are doing not merely for the shared care as such but for what you are doing for our future country in helping the men of different races to a clearer and more sympathetic understanding.

But in order that the child may be adequately capable to care for himself in adulthood it is necessary that we pay some attention to those phases of its life which eventuate in moral and spiritual values. If I may be pardoned the use of a "big word" it is urgent that we attempt to understand administer to, and direct into the proper channels of activity the psychological nature of the child. Now you know that even the newly-born bird separated from its mother will in time make efforts to obtain food or to build a nest. The little chick will peck at a grasen of corn without having seen the mother-her do likewise. The human infant will grasp for and suckle the breast immediately after birth, certainly before it could possibly "know" that in this wise it would obtain food. These reactions and such like them which seem to be inherent tendencies of the newlyborn, and not products of training after birth, are what I wish you to understand by my use of the word instincts or native impulses or tendencies. To properly train our children presupposes a knowledge of instincts, that is, what the child is likely to do of its own accord before it has learned by exper- eral others, including magicians, lecturers, etc. Student Recreations For the amusement of the students there are frequent socials, and twice a month there are moving pictures shown in the chapel. Some of the pictures shown already are Peter Pan, The Alaskan, and The Border Legion. The students pay at the beginning of the year, a fee that admits them to all lectures and concerts, with the exception of the moving pictures, to which the small admission of five cents is taken at the door. There are also a number of student clubs and organizations that mean much toward the moral and spiritual development of its members. There are also music and debating clubs for the purpose of developing and utilizing in every way the available talent Aside from the student affairs the teachers are organized into a club which meets every Thursday evening where all the members get together in a social way. Each teacher takes his or her turn in entertaining and the evening is largely spent in playing various games, after which a dainty repeat is served by the host. In conclusion, the faculty and students of Palmer wish to extend to all friends, both North and South, heartfelt appreciation for their loyal support in helping her to get thus far on her way Palmer further wishes to ask your prayful interest as she soars onward and upward toward heights of perfection "Fair Palmer, the pride of each rural home. Thus planted on soil all their own. Where the brar and the cactus once flourishing grew. Stands the tower of wood and of stone." Better Babies" r. Alonzo deG. Smith ince or the teachings of the parents. For so far as the best interest of the child as an individual is concerned we must know what instincts are "good," and which "bad," in fine which responses will enable him to live harmoniously in later life as a member of the highly organized group of individuals which we call Society. We do not use his word in the "pinkie-tea" sense. We may perpetuate instincts by two methods (1) by rewards, and (2) stimulation. It is necessary however to be sure that the instinct or impulse is a good one and that we connect the reward in the child's mind with its cause. In the case of food the child makes this connection itself, for eating of the food brings the satisfaction of taste and appeased hunger. Many children seem to possess an "instinct" to build things. This should be applauded and encouraged with emphasis on what his small efforts may mean as to future possibilities in, say, the mechanical field. It would be wrong however to attempt to perpetrate the fear of darkness or the bogey-man Neither of these are perhaps a real instinct. Even infants will share a cracker with one if invited, or a poor appetite may be increased by making the food and the table more attractive to the child's eye. An instinct which we deemed not be able to stimulate might be eliminated by (1) associating some dissatisfaction in the child's mind with its practice or (2) by discouraging its use. Here again some caution is necessary. Make the effort no associate the dissatisfaction as a logical out-come of the instinct itself and not with yourself or the person who prohibits the tendency. Take the common street fight. If one boy is bigger than the other here is a chance to talk to him and attempt to show him what would happen to HIM, if because of his greater prowess he should injure the smaller lad. Just to jerk him away with a cauff on the ear will not produce the desired effect of showing him the unpleasant consequences of such a fight. Or, suppose your boy shows cowardice. Just to jeer at him will result in aullen hate of you. But if his reasons for fighting are those of defense, here again the sensible course is to convince HIM that to not protect his rights, person or property will prove disastrous to HIM. Compare the other fellow, for example, to a burglar, and ask the potential coward what he would do in case a burglar entered his home at night. The response may be laughable in the extreme as I have found out. Again there is the appeal patriotism, patriotic warfare for DEFENSE. If a tendency is strongly rooted in a child disuse and dissatisfaction may not of themselves be sufficient to eliminate the undesirable. The impulse may be temporarily restrained, only to break out in greater fury later on. Here we must take recourse in other methods of elimination, such as (1) substitution and (2) sublimation. Under the first head we may mention stroking the dog's head instead of pulling its tail, "follow the leader" on an expedition of nature study instead of committing objectionable pranks, dancing for the training in beauty of bodily movements instead of sex sentiment provoking holds and movements. The second method, sublimation, means the substitution of new ideas and emotions for the undesirable one, such as fighting, not alone for oneself, but for another or fighting by the newspaper or committee or ballot ```markdown ``` Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to THE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1926. "BLACK AND TAN." When Police Commissioner McLaughlin spoke before the National Urban League, at one of its sessions in Brooklyn last week, he said many helpful things and gave some good advice to the members present. He was perfectly correct in maintaining that there was no race problem involved in the presence of some two or three hundred thousand Negroes in the city population. His suggestion that the League try to put a stop to gambling in the colored sections was doubtless well intended, as a means of stimulating such moral agencies as the churches and welfare organizations The greater part of the gambling practiced in Harlem is by means of the "numbers game," a species of policy promoted by white backers mostly, which The Age has fought for two years or more. The attention of the police authorities and courts has been directed to the exploitation of the people through the "numbers game," by the means of "runners" and the afternoon papers that make a specialty of publishing the clearing house balances upon which the drawings are based, but so far no effective steps have been taken to abate this evil. Commander McLaughlin's suggestion that steps should be taken to exclude the white slimming parties who go to the "black and tan cabarets of Harlem is refreshing, as showing a distinction to recognize the right of the respectable residents of Harlem to have a voice in the granting of licenses for these resorts in this part of the city. Heretofore places of this character have been opened over the protests of the residents of the neighborhood and local police authorities, in order to give the white protester liberty to exploit Harlem as a temporary ground for noisy pleasure seekers from other parts of the city. This term of "black and tan" is something of a matter as applied to some of these resorts, occupying in Texas politics as a term of derogation by the "Ilywhite" Republicans to the convention led by the late W. W. Cox, which consisted of delegate races it has come to mean something entirely different in Harlem. Here it is intended to indicate a gathering of disreputable characters of both races and including both sexes. All the cabarets of Harlem which cater to the entertainment of both races are not necessarily resorts for the disreputable of both races. Some of the people who visit such places are of perfectly good morals and respectable living despite their taste for such entertainment. And all cabaret entertainment is not necessarily degraded nor degrading in character. Nor is the mingling of the two races in which places an implication of immorality. There is such a thing as friendly social relation between the couples of the different races each with his lawful partner, visiting a cabaret in company and occupying the set table and occasionally dancing with a co-star of partners. This has led in collective instance to the interference in the cabaret management with the dance, although the white man may be permitted to dance with a colored partner the colored man may not dance with a white partner. The consistency of the ruling is not to those white cabaret men to entice it. There is a third point to be taken into consideration in any attempt to exclude white women from places owned by colored proprietors. Such discrimination on account of color might run counter to the provision of the law by besides inviting counter discrimination to public places under white ownership. In his zeal to correct extinction of the law, we know that the Commission would be counsel anything that would unfit it to existing law. Lowland interpretation has been placed on the train of black and tan as applied to place where the two races may meet or mingle or refreshments or entertainment. The matter of the exclusion of either race with legal right is a serious matter. It is maintained for immoral purposes that it would not be difficult to secure in proof as would warrant proper action by the police. But the mere quiet at "black and tan" does not either warrant a police raid or an indictment. The fifteenth annual meeting of the National Urban League, held in New York City last week, was the occasion of demonstrating the broad and liberal spirit that characterizes the great metropolis in its dealing with all classes of its citizenship. The Mayor of New York went out of his way to attend the session in person and to welcome the delegates to the city, while four of his chief commissioners attended its meetings and made sympathetic and helpful addresses. It is this public spirit of human interest and friendly contact that distinguishes New York above other cities of smaller and less liberal tendencies. New York is above all things democratic in its methods, recognizing the rights of all citizens to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Despite differences of race and color it believes in the oneness of humanity and the necessity of every class of its citizenship possessing opportunity for development along economic and civic lines. Besides the personal interest manifested by the city officials who were present at the various sessions, the League received a message of greeting from Governor Smith, who congraculated the organization upon the existence of Urban League branches, that are dealing with present day problems in a constructive way. Hugh Frayne, general organizer of the Federation of Labor, also brought good wishes and goodwill from President Green of that organization. All in all, the occasion was a fine demonstration of the broad spirit of human.contact that makes New York the best city in the country. To its bigness of numbers is added a largeness of spirit that constitutes the real greatness. TO CHANGE THE VOLSTEAD ACT. Proposals to change the Volstead Act, which gives the authority for enforcing prohibition, have been heard from two different sources. Gen. Andrews, the treasury official in charge of enforcement, wants to put more teeth in the law, so as to get quicker verdicts and heavier sentences for its violators. On the other hand, Dr. Empringham of the Church Temperance Society, composed of some of the clergy and laity of the Episcopal Church, has been converted to the idea of modifying the law so as to permit the use of beer and wines. In this position, he has the support of a number of bishops and priests as well as outstanding citizens. Bishop Mann of Pittsburgh was quoted as expressing his opinion that the Volstead Act is a bad law. Dr. Empringham, in defending his change of policy, said that it was the result of a personal investigation in all parts of the country. He visited Chicago, Baltimore, parts of New England and the South, and the effects of the poisonous distillations sold by bootleggers convinced him that something should be done. He found that the prohibition laws had taken away beer and other drinks and substituted poisons that are ruining the health of the people. He charged that prohibition laws are creating a generation of distilled liquor drinkers, which he considered more terrible than the drinking of brewers' beverages. Dr. Empringham does not despair of securing prohibition ultimately, but he claims that it must be by an appeal to reason and not by trying to force laws that practically all citizens resent. Gen. Andrews was quoted to the effect that the position taken by the Church Temperance Society, through its head, would have no bearing on the enforcement of the present law, although it might afford hope and encouragement to its opponents. The net result would be no material change in the present status of the law. This would tend to prolong the present anomalous situation of a law that is "only partly enforceable" and which works largely to the benefit of the bootleggers and grafters. This change of attitude on the part of the Church Temperance Society following on the heels of the report made by Dr. F. E. Johnson secretary of the Federal Council of churches shows a disposition on the part of sane and sober temperance advocates to get at the roots of the failure of prohibition to prohibit. While such earnest and aggressive officials as General Andrews and United States Attorney Buckner may persist in their efforts at enforcement, their utterances show that they feel that the task is too great for the present enforcement machinery.

The leakage of industrial alcohol, to which The Age called attention over a year ago as the source of the bootlegging supply, has just recently been taken into account by the Federal enforcement administrators and of forts made to stop it. The refusal to renew the permits of certain denaturing plants was a step in the right direction. The bootleggers were then forced to get their supplies by robbing warehouses or stealing alcohol in transit. The present Congress will be asked to change the Volstead Act so as to remedy the present desperate situation. It can make the law more drastic and severe and increase the approgrriations for enforcement by many The present Congress will be asked to change the Volstead Act so as to remedy the present desperate situation.

When the State assumed the responsibility for providing public education, it also became heir to other duties incumbent upon the parents. In New York we find the State, as represented, in the public school system, not only training the children in the elements of reading, writing and arithmetic, but also providing high school, college and technical courses for those who desire to pursue them. Training is given in the skilled trades and the student aided to secure positions that may yield him a livelihood. In addition to this pupils are frequently examined for physical defects and dental and medical treatment given when necessary. Special provision has been made for the training of subnormal children and those threatened with tubercular troubles are taken care of in fresh air classes. School lunches are provided for the undernourished and special pains taken to promote the healthy physical development of the child as well as the mental side. Moral and religious training is not overlooked as provision is made for the reading of the Bible, to which it has been suggested that the Ten Commandments should be added as a regular feature. In view of all these added functions taken on by the school authorities, it is not without reason that special provision should be suggested for the care and protection of those girls whose mothers are obliged to be away from home all day to earn a living. These little girls may be known by the fact that most of them have a key suspended from a cord, which they wear around the neck, to admit them to the home of perhaps only one room after school. Sooner than go there, they often roam the streets to a late hour, waiting the return of the mother from her work and incurring all the dangers incident to their lonely and unprotected condition. It is suggested that these children, who constitute quite a problem in Harlem, could be cared for in certain of the schools to be designated for that purpose, where a play teacher or worker understanding their needs, should be able to keep them occupied at work or play from 3 to 7:30 P. M. Meals could be served them at a moderate cost as some of these schools like No. 119 and No. 127 have cafeterias. This would be real preventative work in safeguarding girlhood from the evils incident to roaming the streets, or going alone to a solitary apartment. It should be worth consideration by the Board of Education as a necessary safeguard for the children committed to its care. Committees conversant with the needs of these cases and the details of the problem involved could be called upon to make further suggestions.

According to the prediction of the Republican State Chairman, Hon George K Morris. New York State will elect a Republican Governor and United States Senator next fall. Mr Morris went to Washington last week and visited the White House to inform President Coolidge to this effect, as reported by the New York Herald Tribune's Washington bureau. It was further stated that the President is not interfering with the affairs of New York Republicans, but he was desirous of having first hand information. Mr Morris came pruned with data to show that Senator Wadsworth is going to be renominated and re-elected, although it is recognized that the contest will not be a walkaway. According to the prediction of the Republican State Chairman, Hon George K Morris, New York State will elect a Republican Governor and United States Senator next fall Mr Morris went to Washington last week and visited the White House to inform President Coolidge to this effect, as reported by the New York Herald Tribune's Washington bureau. It was further stated that the President is not interfering with the affairs of New York Republicans but he was desirous of having first hand informa That reservation was well made and indicates that despite the State Chairman's exhibition of confidence he is not averse to casting an anchor to windward. This was a wise precaution and it may be that the speaker was more familiar with the situation than his first utterance would show. That overconfident prediction suggested that the State Chairman had not consulted any of the leaders in the various assembly districts of this city, where accurate information would reveal a condition of widespread dissatisfaction and dissension. Evidently Mr. Morris ignored the state of confusion existing in the New York county committee where the chairman is charged with secretly causing the defeat of legislation endorsed by the party by a district leader who assumes for an opportunity to prove his charge. Nor does he seem to be aware of the efforts of some of the district leaders to avoid giving the Negro voters of the party their rightful representation in party councils of public office. If the State Chairman is basing his over-confident prediction of Republican success this fall upon the oldtime doctility of Negro voters in voting for candidates who have Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors The Age Readers' Forum repeatedly ignored their rights as members of the party, he may be awakened to a stern reality. Negro voters are growing to be much like other classes of voters, in that they must be shown that it is to their interest to support any particular ticket. Republican leaders with a few exceptions, are doing their utmost to shove the Negro voters out of the Republican party in this State by their studied and callous indifference to their wishes. They may succeed in doing so to their own disadvantage. VILIFYING E. C. BROWN. Hitting a man when down who is making a valiant effort to get up is not considered good sportsmanship. Yet thee are some Negro editors guilty of such practices. The case of E. C.

They hope to make another payment in the near future.

Then too, in Navannah protection can be secured that is not assured in many other places. School facilities are being increased with improved environments for the rearing of children. By the middle of February there will be the need for about fifteen hundred additional work- The Age Rea The Negro Problem And Real Democracy The Rev. Calvin Lane, assistant pastor at Grate Congregational Church, 308 West 190th street, the Rev. A. C.

Rev. Lane's letter, as I have read, is pleased to read your editorial, to get date under the catfish, Law and Order Bill Pending in Georgia, knowing as I do that practically all of the victims of such murder in Georgia are not murdered an added reason for me to wish that this bill speedily become law.

The closing of any bank is a most unfortunate and regrettable occurrence. But "pulling" a man down who is triving in every honorable way to reimburse his depositors is not going to help matters. This is no time for the injection of any personal animus. What the creditors are chiefly concerned over is getting back their money. This should be made possible by boosting instead of knocking. men in the various industrial plants around the city. Those coming here can be readily employed. The Tribune is justified in setting forth the local advantages of Savannah as a home for reliable workers. Such a force constitutes the backbone of economic progress. Discussing the needs for legislation before the Virginia General Assembly, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said. The majority of bills that have already been introduced in the General aders' Forum how the suppression of the Negro in his civil and political rights handicaps the Association work. The migration of Negroes from the South to the North in the past few years has been angrious. In the main, they are of this very class which boasts that it has nothing to do with Government coming as they do into the free life of the North with no high ideals of the worth of citizenship in America it is not strange that they fall into the worst elements of society here. They greatly swell the law breaking and criminal class here. It is thus clearly seen how southern suppression complicates race matters in the North and makes it quite as impossible for Congregational Churches in the North to help life the unmerged Negro as for the churches in the south.

Saturday, February Assembly this session are of small movement and plainly show that they are the products of small minds. The red herring of race prejudice already has shown its ugly head in the measures placed in the legislative hopper. A bill born of religious bigotry will soon follow it is reported. Plainly it is up to what statesmen there are in the Virginia General Assembly to save the case of General Assembly to have the case of the state from the disgrace that likely to be visited upon it in the enactment of laws of intolerance and bigotry, while the solid issues from which small minds naturally quarrel go untouched. Most issues except race and class issues are too profound and complex for some Virginia legislator. The people, as well as the legislators stand in need of enlightenment as to the quality of legislation that conducts in public welfare. The curse of the nation is narrowness and intolerance which constitute the stock in trade of political demagogues. The Philadelphia Christian order paid a deserved tribute to a W. W. A. worker in the following editora. The Y. W. C. A. of New York has just completed and will soon open a splendid women's hotel, which will accommodate some 150 young women with lodging, and give to all the fine privileges of the local Y. W. C. A. on 17th street. It is called the "Emma Ransom House" named for Mrs. Emma Ransom, wife of Bishop R. C. Ransom. It is a splendid monument to a woman who well deserves it. For there are few women, if any, in America today, who have given themselves with such intellect and unselfish devotion to the cause of the young colored woman, and all young women as has Mrs. Ransom. For more than 25 years we have known her and have admired her devotion. The whoso A. M. E. Church will feel proud of this honor that comes to Sister Ransom, while she lives, and is still youthful in spirit and active in body. She is a worthy example for the womanhood of the race and all womanhood No more appropriate monument could have been erected to such a devoted worker for the cause of womanhood than the building in question. Commenting on the merging of the Citizens Southern Bank into a trust company with a capital of $125,000 and surplus of $34,250, the Philadelphia Tribune said: Philadelphia has its first trust company owned and controlled by Negroes. It begins with a strong foundation. It is headed by men who have character and ability. The herculean task was performed almost single handed by Major R' R' Wright, the grand old man from Georgia. The Tribute is proud of this achievement. It helps to discredit the propaganda about Philadelphia's colored citizens being unable to accomplish anything in the business world. Incidentally this is the first Negro trust company with the power to insure titles to real estate in America. It proves that the only reason for our not accomplishing more is because, we have not had the proper kind of leadership. Negroes will support colored institutions. But you must first give them something to support. This is also a remarkable exhibition of confidence in racial institutions, despite recent bank failures in Pennsylvania. Such confidence deserves success. Col C. O Sherrill, formerly one of the commissioners of the District of Columbia, but now City Manager of Cincinnati was commended by the Cincinnati Union for reprinting a policemen who beat up a Negro prisoner. The Union said Col Sherrill has made a move in the right direction. If he never does anything but stop the maltreatment of prisoners, he will have earned the indyng gratitude of all citizens, regardless of race. Cincinnati has no monopoly on inquisition methods, as practiced by the police but it stands well under the first rank in that regard. The third degree is a disgrace to modern civilization, a blot upon the escutcheon of humanity. Unfortunately, as the records show, many of the police are not of the kind that can be safely trusted to be, they often constitute themselves a main judge, jury and lord high executioner. We sincerely thank Col Sherrill. He has made a noble beginning. This is a new role for Col. Sheriff which will surprise those Washingtonians who had cause to protest against many of his policies Hailing the golden opportunity opened to the Negroes of Florida to pursue their economic status, the Lockhart Florida Sentulel said The Negroes of Florida have fortunes thrown at them in the new years. During the great real estate boom in this State many Negroes had purchased property cheap a few years or months before were given low prices for it. Many of these Negroes had never had much money, little time and the sudden wealth gave them to do some things which were not for their best interests nor the rest of the race Some Negro land owners in Ithaca who a ten years ago bought land a song sold it up to as much as $1000. We do not advocate the idea of property by Negroes rather we have that they should seek to acquire much as possible. Some hundreds of them have made money from their land, sales we have that this money should be put to good use. Like the people of other areas regard Florida as the golden opportunity so do we see golden opportunity Negroes here. With much of the wealth which come to our people in this State great industries can be built holding out opportunities for our people to make aing and better their economic own. These industries and businesses will hold out to their promoters oppo increase their own wealth at the time that it serves the race. There needs to be greater se- tle and property and a more equi- nial in the courts to warrant thir- vestments by Negroes in Fla- Those who have been fortunate to reap their profits will de- joy them under happier conditions are reported there.

At the morning hour of worship on Sunday Rev George Shippen Stark, pastor spoke on religion as being the personal, private individual experience it is spiritual and is not experienced through the five services. The first step in being religious is a challenge to faith. We begin small in our christian experience faith is the first step. It we would know the mood of christ we should do as Christ says.

Wednesday night, while the storm was at its worst treacher David Doughty was down to the church to see that things kept moving in the B. Y. P. U. Group No. 2, led by that indefatigable worker, Jamie Anderson, was out, and fed the meeting, then gliding a short, but spicy program, the meeting was closed. Friday night Deacon Ware was on hand, having appointed Mrs Sarah Clarkson as leader for the evening, she gave a most helpful exposition on the 4th chapter of James, using as theme. "Humility." Sunday morning early, Deacon J A Doughtry had out his Prayer Band, preparing for their service in the afternoon, as well as getting the church spiritually warm for the regular services. The pastor, after a mast strenuous week of attending conferences, presiding over meetings, preaching funerals, and making calls on the sick, came to his pulpit Sunday morning, and preached a sermon that stirred all present on. "The Touch That Saves." In the afternoon he went over to Brooklyn, and preached in the Mt. Lebanon Church for Dr Hamlin his theme being, "The Necessity of Christa' Sufferings." "Coming back to his pulpit in the evening, he preached another great sermon on, "Keeping The unity of the Spirit in Peace." This sermon seemed to grip the audience as but few sermons do. The Choir rendered splendid services at both morning and evening services. In the afternoon Rev John Joseph Pastor of the New York Tabernacle Church preached a very good sermon under auspices of the Prayer Band. The sad news reached us during the week of the death of Mrs Logan who having gone to Richmond to the funeral of her sister, was while returning from the cemetery, killed in an accident which so injured her brother and sister, that both were taken to the hospital and just at the time of the writing of these notes, the news came that the Friar had also died from his injury.

"It was too late to inform all the Choir people, who has prepared to be there, and hence, we learned that several of them were present, while the Pastor was absent. We regret this, but certainly appreciate the loyalty of these people. Union Baptist Church Sunday was an ideal day to Church poets. At 11 a.m. in a large crowd gathered with us to worship.

Under God, if men really desire to live right, they may do so. The Lord offers to change the character and transform the disposition of men. He declares he will give to men a new heart and cause them to walk in all his commandments, and keep them from falling into sin. "I know that many doubt the possibility of living to-day in a world like this without doing one single thing that is wrong. Now let me say this. If the gospel of Jesus Christ provides no deliverance of a man from every known and deliberate sin, then that gospel is a miserable and stupendous failure. In heathen lands, the benighted opium trend and rover pirate, and the sunken iniquity and vice, are delivered and changed into gentle loving Christians. Surely, if God can do that much for the idol worshipper, he can give you and me the victory over a bad temper, a deceitful heart, an evil tongue, and an impure mind. The morning lesson was very helpful to the worshippers. After the benediction, the more devout ones went immediately to a season of prayer which lasted about an hour. An afflicted sister requested prayer that she might be healed. She was instantly restored and went forth rejoicing. The Young People's Societies me at three o'clock, and took on new zeal at Mrs E. Smith presided Brethren Watkinson and Johnson had an excellent Missionary Society meeting at tour reck. Sunday night Pastor Stracian "choose for us the theme" God's Rule and Pillumline in the Judgement." Among other things the speaker said, Viewing it from one angle, it might seem altogether uncalled for and unnecessary for God to have a judgement to determine the character of all his creatures. Since it is admitted that God knows everything before hand, the question naturally arises, who have the investigative judgement to determine what is already known. Well, what God knows other creatures do not know. And it is certain that the judgement will leave no longering doubt in any creatures mind that possible mistakes have been made. James, the high bishop of the apostolic church reveal God's standard God's Pillumline's rule by which he measures men arranged before the bar of eternal justice. So say, and so do, says the apostle as they that shall be judged by the unchangeable law. All created beings are answerable to the divine law Wesley says, the law of God is not the arbitrary utterance of an inconsiderate ruler, but it is the wise and beneficent requirement of an Everlasting Father. And that man is blessed in his deeds at he keeps them. In civic life, the one who disregards the law defies the government under which he lives. So in the judgement, God reckons all disobedience as threatening the very existence of His throne. He stamps the deliberate offender as a rebel and an adversary. Only the obedient are counted as being the friends of God (Judg. 15 14, 10 14 21) Next Sunday pastor Stratham is stated to speak at Sharon on Saxs't first Street three o'clock, and at St Marks M. E.

His declaration shows that he who knew the nature of the spiritual man understood his functionings, and the power that made for growth and development. He declared that the growth and development came to the spiritual man by the man just putting toth the thought that became a desire, with an urge in it, similar to that of a hungry and thirsty person. This righteous urge releases an automatic, self-fishing, right action machine from the power house of our Father.

Thus righteous indeed life, makes manifest the perfect man, therefore it should be the earnest and determined effort of those who claim it to be disciples of our Lord Jesus the lambman; to get the spirit to will and to do as He has commanded. For He says, Be ye therefore perfect, even as perfect. That which is in Heaven is perfect. That possible in the person who is filled is the person. The Sunday school was opened at 2 p.m. by the assistant superintendent, W. H. Coleman. A short review of the lesson was given by him. At the opening service the Rev J Harvey Anderson of Patterson, N.J. preached Dr. Anderson is a former editor of the Star of Zion. He was introduced by Rev Bodden Dr. Andersons text was "His dwelling shall be on night, and the place of his defense the mumition of rocks. Bread shall be given him, and his water shall be sure" Isaiah M 10. Dinner is served during the day by the memorials of the Welling Workers. On July 12, February 12, a splendid program will be given at the church by coming men of the Y M C A. under the direction of Henry C Parker. St. James Pres. Church Despite the terrible condition of the streets, at 11 o'clock, Sunday morning, St James Presbyterian Church was well filled with wishspirits, eager to heap and witness the entire services. The churor was in out of Miss Eloise Uggams, the leading soprano, who has been absent on account of illness, was at her usual place and seemingly sung her solo with an unusual sweetness and melody. Mr Ragland at Pitt-burg rendered the solo just preceding the sermon. Dr Ims sermonette to the children was taken from the book of Judges, the parable of "The Fires Talking" told in two parts. He cited part 1 in choice, beautiful, yet simple English Part 2 will be continued next Sunday. The sermon from Proverbs 4:18 was indeed a masterpiece. His theme was "The Significance or Christian Bongraphy." He dealt at length with the supreme worth of the lives of the truly great men and women and not with those who are accounted great by worldly standards. "We have," said he infinitely more self respect and truthfulness too when he honor Benjamin Banneker more than George Washington and Noamer. A glowing tribute was paid to Frederick Douglass. At 4 o'clock the Forum held a virtual meeting. An inter-tribal and social program was presented. The topic What are the Saturdays and Laturies doing in Harlem for Educational advancement, was ably discussed by Mass F. Lane, Messys Ralph F. Muzel, Beane and others. Robert Douglass gave a reading from Dearbair Mumby by Miss Bailey and Mr. Simmons. At 8 p.m. in the Young People's Communion was the initiation of Christian Endeavor Week and a large number both of Emancipation and of young people as communant members were present. The pastoral address on the text in the Days of His Youth dealt with the Christian outlook to youth and the unparalleled opportunities of this day. Five persons united with the church The Brotherhood under Mr. Green, held two interesting meetings Monday and Wednesday nights. Friday night, the N.

Bascomb, vice-president, presided. Miss E. Wesley read an interesting paper on the topic At the evening hour the pastor, Dr. Tyler, filled the pulpit "The Value of the Soul" was the subject of his discourse. The text was St Matthew 16:20. He said among other things: "There are three selves in the human being. The material self the social self and the spiritual self. One must suffer for the advancement of the others. Jesus does not desire us to neglect the developing of the material or social self, but he does desire that we put our spiritual self. If we conceive our endeavors on the development of either the material or social self we will lose our soul. This is the most important part of man for it is immortal. The man or woman that seeks to hold us back from that discipline that we must pass through in order to make us perfect is not a help but a hindrance. We must enter into a spirit of negation, if we hope to attain the spiritual ideal. We must realize that God has given us desire or will power and it is up to us to determine which self shall rule. The pastor and congregation were invited to attend a special service at St. John's A M E Church in the afternoon. Dr Teller was unable to be present and the Rev Mr Warner, who is connected with the church preached in his stead. Henry Watkins pastor's steward was delegate to take a donation of $16. This was augmented by $6 more in the evening. A feature of the evening services during the pre Easter services is the evangelical singing by the choir. Dean Kelly Miller will be the attraction at the church at both services Sunday March 7. This is in keeping with the policy of the pastor and the officers of the church to present outstanding men and women of our group to the members and trends of the Sunday morning service was the splendid rendition of the anthem, "O Thou God of My Salvation" by the junior choir under the direction of Mrs Adalah Taylor.

Director 447 Lenox Ave Morn 8642 Crelin and Harris Not Worried Over Harrisburg's Decision Not To Give Up Eastern Colored League Franchise LTHOUGH some of the other teams are wondering what the Newark Stars are going to do for ball players now that Harrisburg has decided to remain in the Eastern Colored league, Walbur Creel, owner, and Andrew Harris, manager of the Newark team, do not seem to be worried. Harris is especially optimistic over his team's prospects for a successful season. He says the Newark Stars never proposed to buy the entire Harrisburg team but just some of the players. He has already signed up several very good then, he says, and expects to be able to announce the full lineup when his representatives return from Cuba and Porto Rico. Harris is probably the youngest manager to ever have charge of a colored professional ball club. He is not yet 27 years old, but has been playing ball since 1907. In that year he was third baseman for the original Hildale team and, with Otto Briggs, did much to make the team popular in Philadelphia. After a couple of seasons he joined the U.S. Navy and when his term expired he came to New York as a member of the Pennsylvania Red Caps. For the past few years Harris has been the mainstay and manager of the Red Caps. He was, in addition, the only colored representative on the Board of Directors of the Associated Baseball Cubs, an organization made up of some of the leading semi-professional clubs of Greater New York. He is popular with his players and has a large number of friends among the fans all of whom are wishing him success in his new position. When Iugene Q. Neal first presented his master play, *The Imperator Jones*, about five years ago, short sighted and super sensitive Negro critics denounced the drama as a burlesque of the lower type of members of their race. They did not like the theme and were not to tell the world so until someone suggested that it was a psychological study of tear and was not meant to degrade a particular individual or race. Those same critics are making the same claim of *Lulu Belle*, which opened to an indefinite run at the Relaxation Theatre on Tuesday evening. February 9. While we do not contend that *Lulu Belle* is the same kind of show, the *Imperator Jones* is believed that the authors intended to tell the old story of the same man and since it had been written much for other racial types, they turned to the Negro with the idea of making the story a bit difficult. The most just criticism of the play is that instead of using a complete Negro cast, Mr. Belasco put white actors in the principal roles. Since the Negro press was not favored with invitations to the opening performance a review of the play is here with presented, written by Alexander Woodford, New York's premier critic for the New York World.

Now he has crawled across the world to be with her again and when she spits on him the silken boudour becomes for a moment a bit of the ancestral jungle. For on the satin coverlet of her rosal hed he kills her with his bare and bitter hands and he is whispering over her in howl derment and sorrow as the final curtain falls. This Carmenita and the Barber wrought in the racy jazz speech of the New York street and told to the thrum of the Charleston has I think been kindly imagined and ex- ecuted with savage bite.

Mr. Bielasso has marched a great troop for Light Bolt. For the most part he has turned the Negro rover into Negro players and the performance in the battles in that account. For this stroke of casting he raps a rich reward on the right flavor which all the scenes of tumult and obliteration have in particular that it remains first at when the scenes in a pod of light on a Sunny street corner are played to a gobble by housing a company from the old or new war brigade, the play by a Greek hero to the heroine here captures as a hero the cannon and the troop can have.

Consideration matter being metred in the om- ing of the Commissioners on the East en Colored League to be held here Saturday, February 13 The probable List of players on the Newark Star, the new club admitted at the last meeting will be announced and a schedule committee will be ap- pointed Somewhere in the stored away annals of opinion of the Deacon Johnson Column, musician's have been rated as fourth class business men. The forceful 'laws of commercial science that demand exactness of decision, steadiness in quest of a gain, integrity, self denial and rigid spartanlike determination in grappling for and holding the realization of an ideal is a negative quantity in the sphere of fiddling and singing. The musician, as a popular practitioner, is a short visioned, slovenly character, who lives in rigid and accurate swing of the old Greek slogan "Eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow we all may die." They sip, drink and pay the price of today without a phantom or fantasy of what the cruel taskmaster of the future holds in waiting. Music as an art field holds forth many fair and gleaming lights who lift their heads in pride and shed their rays of honor and glory, with credit to the race, throughout the world. As to artistic accomplishment, there is much of which we as a group may boast. But where is our management, and where is our management, and who is contributing toward the building of the kind of musical government that will keep the art and the artist going on and on at a recompense that will prove worth the artist's study, time and professional struggles? But first we must know and provide, that the practitioner and the musical contingent at large be schooled in the needs and values of musical management and through virtue of this need he must be made to feel the desire to share in making musical management the ground work of his musical ambitions. We must have men whose souls live within the field of music whose desires ambitions and dreams are for perfecting the art, for the very first requirement in any stable government is a satisfied citizenship. The Deacon Johngott's Musicians Exchange urges the young and the old to swing into line and test out oneself for creating, stabilizing and forging into actually the best that is within him. Standardization and specialization are the keystone of the intellectual world today and the musical leader, like the leader of all other professions must be made to know values and the necessity of efficiency, laws and government. For no matter what the line of endeavor people must be educated to recognize the value of a law before they can appreciate the necessity of its enforcement. It is time that we give thought to our future and to the permanency of our present welfare. It is time that we look a few inches beyond our noses and concentrate upon the manning of our own interests that the white man now mans for us. It is time that we cease to be bargained as a commodity. It is time that the Negro provides the monopolys, at least, on the "Blues." It is time that the fellow artist can find publishers within the group, for his classes, as well as his popular songs. It is time that Harlem, with its meridian musical channels, has a solvent musical management corporation where all musicians can know and feel the common interests. We of our prominent Senators said in a discussion of the affairs of the nation. We are living over a life solicitor that is liable to burst into flames at an time. It is time that we stop quarreling and warring for unjust per cent salaries. For the safety of the profession is of more importance that technical quibbling. Yes, it is time that we stop squandering time. Chick Suggs Defeats Goldstein In Madison Square Garden Debut Chris Suggie. New Bedford, Mass. The New England bantweight champion made his debut at the New Madison Spain Garden Friday night. Ternary is defeating the Goldstein former bantweight champion of the world in one of the star bout at the evening Suggie had been rated No. 1 among bant ham by Tex Rickard in his annual ranking of busters and a capacity crowd turned up to see him in action. Goldstein has trained tautly for the bout and bowed some championship trains in the ear, rounds but was a waste a mark of Suggie's surprising let Suggie kept tabling away until Aire was dazed. By the seventh round the New England banther had picked up a big lead in pound but the occasionally got in a cold punch. In the ninth and sixth rounds he let the crosses go which landed square to thick chin but Suggie absorbed the stout wabbling. For every right cross that Goldstein landed Suggie browsed hard a dozen left ears and right to the body. The colored tighter laced up to the ex- piration of the tany although he scor- ed a potent compulsion the former champion. When the judges decision was awarded him no one complained.

A clipping was enclosed in which a demon was issued to all heavyweights on the Coast. It seems that John Lester is finding it as hard to meet first rate employment in the West as he found it in New York. Chick Suggs Battled Blizzard All Night To Keep Garden Date When Chick Suggs, the New England bantamweight champion, called at Tex Rickard's office Sunday to collect his share of the guarantees or fighting Abe Goldstein the previous Friday night, he told an interesting story of the exciting time he had in keeping his appointment for the fight. His story as told to Rickard was as follows: Fighting The Storm "You know I live in New Bedford up there in New England," said the boxer. "Well, I started to get out of that town on Thursday and I ran right into that awful billboard. There weren't any trains running out of New Bedford and the busses were all tied up, too. I made up my mind I'd make New York if I had to walk. I found a taxicab driver who offered to drive me to Providence for $55. I figured that I could get a train from there. We pulled out of New Bedford at 7 p.m. When we were seventeen miles from Providence we bounced into a snow drift and got stuck. We couldn't get the cab out and at 11 o'clock that night I started to walk to the nearest farmhouse in order to get a telephone. I walked about four miles with the snow just about up to my waist most of the tune. Soaked and Nearly Frozen "I got to an old powerhouse about 2 o'clock in the morning, nearly frozen and all in. I was soaked to the skin. That powerhouse was near Warren, R. I, where I found a telephone. I called up Providence about 3 a.m. and was lucky enough to get a taxabill to come out and pick me up. We reached Providence at 8 o'clock in the morning. It took us close to five hourse to drive eleven miles. Then I sat in the Providence railroad station until 9:30 o'clock for a train. We reached New York at 340 o'clock on the afternoon of the fight. I was supposed to weigh in at the offices of the Boxing Commission at 2 o'clock that afternoon. "I dashed into another taxicab and drove to the Platton Building and had left. They came back later, but it wasn't until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that they put me on the scales and I weighed 118.4 pounds. I had something to eat at 5:30 o'clock and had a hot bath and an alcohol rub. Then I reported at Madison Square Garden at 7:30 o'clock. I hadn't had a wink of sleep since Wednesday night, and I can tell you I was a pretty tired boy. If some of the New York fans were disappointed in the way I boxed they might take into consideration the difficulties I had in getting here through that storm. I wish I could have done better, but under the circumstances I did the best I could." At The Renaissance Two big spectacles are scheduled for presentation at the Renaissance Theatre shortly James M Barne's, "Kiss For Cinderella" will be the holiday picture there on Washington's Birthday February 22 and on Sunday, February 21. This is one of the big Broadway pictures that is as interest ing to the gren ups as it is to the young. The other big scheduled picture is Pantomom of the Opera. This superduous screening will be presented at the Renaissance Theatre beginning Saturday March 6. In this picture Lon Chanes is said to appear in his best role. "The Midshipman with Ramon Navarro will be the feature photo Thursday and Friday February 11 12. This is a picture produced at Annapolis and is not only spectacular but is a love drama as well that will interest all. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, February 13, 14 and 15, Dola Negrean in *Woman of the World* will be the attraction. In this picture the famous star appears in her first real American role. Produced in a small town with all the beauty of a small town background in *Women of the World* a masterful satire of American media. It is a wonderful picture and should attract a full house at each program. At The New Douglass Flight with a cousin Penella Dean will be to another big hit with local screen tans when The Danger Girl! her latest picture will be seen at the New Douglas Theater. Miss Dean in the delightful mysteries, photoplas, is first seen as a brave who travels over house tops at night and finds refuge in the apartment of two bachelor brethers, one of whom, of course falls in love with her. From the start, the a team pro- ceeds steadily in a seasonal finish. The team deal with the plottings of a band of thieves to steal a fortune in gems and while for a time it would seem that Marie Dupreuse the char- acter portrayed by Miss Dean was in league with the robbers the finale re- veals a contrast state of affairs. At any rate the picture is filled with thrillers that are war apted to hold the interest in the most place on the Lion Rows' plaza opposite the star and head an adequate supporting a treat places.

The game was hard fought from start to finish the thrilling plays of both teams repeatedly bringing cheers from the spectators - Clark led at the half 7-5. The maroon quintet came back with a rush in the second half and soon piled up a lead that the Clark basketeers were unable to overcome in the remaining minutes of play. Beck, Johnson, and Dalton were the mainstays in the Clark defense, while Traylor, Sykes and Captain Bailey starred for the Maroon tide Traylor was the backbone of the Morehouse scoring machinery, making 12 of the 18-points. Another feature of the Morehouse defense was the fast dribbling and close guarding of Archer. Beck and Johnson of Clark in a fast frantic effort to overcome the Maroon lead sank baskets from critical angles. Referee: Brandeis; umpire, Holt, timekeeper, Dent; scorer, Brazeal. Dempsey No Champion By JACK CONWAY In the N. Y. Daily Mirror The Boxing Commission has spent much time and squandered thousands of words in a fruitless effort to force Jack Dempsey to defend the heavyweight title against Harry Wills, the man the whose world acknowledges to be the logical contender. Nothing has come of it and nothing ever will Dempsey does not mean to fight Wills. Even the kids in the primary class and the inmates of old ladies' homes know that. He has proved it in a hundred ways, and there no longer is any doubt about the matter, although he refuses to admit the fact in so many words Dempsey lacks the physical courage to meet the giant colored man in the ring and he lacks the moral courage to admit that he will not fight. The New York Boxing Commission has placed Dempsey on what is calls its ineligible list. That means, that the champion cannot get a license to box in this State until he accepts the challenge of his colored rival. All boxers and promoters are forbidden to have any dealings with Dempsey, on pain of suspension, until he meets the man the commission has designated as his opponent. There the matter rests. The Commission holds that it can do no more. In the meantime, Dempsey goes on his way, gathering in thousands of dollars from stage work and motion pictures all because, in their, he is the best fighting man in While Dempsey is p thing that he is not the held from competition med his right to prosec member of the human Dempsey cannot beat circle.

Johnson Critic) Circus de Luxe Date Changed to February 22 Due to the necessity of completing a gigantic program of first class attractions, the opening date of the Circus de Lux, to be held under the auspices of the New York Music Week Association, has been advanced from February 11, to February 22, Washington's Birthday. The circus will be staged in the 104th Field Artillery Armory at ninety-eighth street and Broadway, and the proceeds will be devoted to advancing the work of the New York Music Week Association. It has now been definitely decided to open the big show on Washington's Birthday and continue it for the following two weeks, closing on March 6 Plans for the Circus de Lux have been in preparation for the past three months. From the first it was decided to make it, to the greatest possible extent unique in the annals of entertainment. Only the very best in the circus field has been considered. There will be the best of animal acts, acrobatic acts, and daring and sensational aerial stunts. There will be the very best clowns in the world, performing horses and dogs, enough wild animals to fill a jungle and multitudinous attractions in addition. It is the aim of the organizers of the Circus de Lux to make this of particular interest to the children of the city. Since its inception many years ago, the New York Music Week Association has devoted all of its energies to bringing the culture of music to the children of Greater New York. This work has been maintained in the past by the voluntary contributions of a few we the citizens who have desired that the work of the Association succeed. It now seems desirable that financial support should come from the larger circle or friends, which should include those who are receiving the direct benefit of the work. In addition to the circus itself and its incidental attractions there will be a Fairland Exposition, such as has never before been shown. In this will be seen all of the well known residents of Fairland from Old Mother-Hubbard to little Jack Horner Spelman College Singers To Broadcast In Atlanta Atlanta, Ga — The students of Speckman College, members of the glee club, broadcasted a special program of Negro Spirituals on Thursday evening February 11 from WSB Atlanta Journal broadcasting from the Atlanta Baltimore Hotel.

Just before staging the last number, Fred R Moore, secretary of the board of manager's for the Katy Ferguson Home, thanked the club and those who patronized the affair for their aid in making it an artistic success. Dr Ardelle Mitchell-Dabney, chap- erone of the Sub-Debs, promoted the en- tertainment, and although the attendance was comparatively small, she and her co- workers deserve great credit for their work. Mention should also be made of the dancing class of Miss Annie Jones of Brooklyn, of which Misses Rae Olley and Anna Small are instructors. Most of the talent for the dances was turn- ished by this school. Following be program dancing was en- joyed for several hours with music furnished by John C. Smiths Modern Dance Orchestra John R. Hawkins Speaks At Bridge Street Church "This is not a finished nation in the full sense of the term, and will not be until we develop certain elements within us," said Dr John R Hawkins, financial secretary of the A M I Church, during the course of his address on 'A Man's Worth in the Making of A Nation, before an audience of nearly a thousand people at Bridge Street A M I Church, on which the Rev Edward I. Taylor is pastor, on Sunday morning, February 7. Dr Hawkins traced the story of creation and stated that God realized that His Handiwork was not complete until He made man and decreed that he should have man over all the earth. Hence man has been endowed with certain powers and in the making of a nation he must have certain elements or virtues. The first of the elements is was done but God did not intend that man should be ignorant but develop every faculties and thereby be more able to get a better conception of God, and be able to draw nearer to Him. The other virtue is strength of character. By this it is not meant that we should neglect the physical self, for a healthy bod begets a healthy mind. But with strength of character we are not moved by every little act, by popular movement and we have a will and opinion of our own when it comes to doing right and opposing wrong. It takes a man of strong character to be brave and courageous. Such men and women are assets in the making of a church and a nation. The other virtue is tenderness This is brought about by contact with good women. The speaker drew a vivid picture of man having the baser and more brutal self-stressed by contact with such women. The last element or virtue is vision For where there is no vision there is no progress. Hence we must be able to visualize Dr. Hawkins concluded with a vivid appeal to the vast throng to realize for God the race, the pat and themselves. Put an estimate on yourself and live up to it, were his final words. Mrs. N. B. Dodson Dead Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Dodson, wife of Natharvel R.

Mrs. Sibel Hines, 204 West 149th street is the latest victim. On her complaint of having been robbed of $143 in the pocketbook swindle on February 6, Raymond Boswell, ex-convict, laborer, 34 years old, giving his address 2468 Seventh avenue, is being held without ball for the Grand Jury. Mrs. Hines charges that on February 6, while she was out in the street she was greeted by a strange man who inquired of her if she could inform him where he could find a good girl to do housework. While she was talking with the strange man another man passed and the stranger with whom she was conversing asked her if she had seen him pick up a pocketbook. The other man was stopped and the stranger suggested that the man who had picked up the purse divide the contents' with him and Mrs. Hines since they saw him pick it up. The man agreed to divide the money equally between the three if they said nothing about him finding it. A peep into the purse was enough to ead Mrs. Hines to believe the men when they said that it contained $1,000 in bills. Mrs. Hines was persuaded to go to the Post Office and draw as much money as she had there which she did. She gave the men $143 after she had drawn it and was given the purse to hold with dollar bills showing at the ends of it. After the two men had disappeared Mrs. Hines opened the pocketbook and found out that it contained only one single dollar bill wrapped around a roll of paper She reported the trick to the detectives at the 16th Prescinct bureau and Detectives Dennison and Bauer-schmidt from the description given arrested Boswell on Eighth avenue Mrs. Hines identified Boswell after his arrest as one of the men We are reliably informed that the cost of giving this affair will reach $10,000 and that as we go to press, all those are sold and receipts thus far have totaled $12,000.

HOGANS A Pollman Porter's Opinion of Roland Hayes SOME circumstances of recent of mine, a fellow worker, came to see me on a willful occasion of business. During the visit our talk drifted to Roland Hayes, the Negro singer, with whom my friend is very much enamored. In fact, to use the vernacular of the street he fairly 'naves' about the singing ability and other attributes of Mr. Hayes. He informed me then that he was laying off from his job in order that he might attend Mr. Hayes' hospital at Cargnege Hall last evening. Being so impressed with his praise and idea of this artist, and with wanting to present some novel of a sort different from that usually contained in this column, I invited him to write for me an article on Roland Hayes as soon though the eyes of a Pollman porter. This porter, I well known in the New York District, but for personal reasons desires that his work be omitted. Therefore, simply for an appellation, I shall call him Henry John Doe. His letter and article follow: THE LETTER DEAR MR. HOGANS: Following our conversation of a few days ago, in which I promised you that I would write for your column an article on my impressions of Roland Hayes, I am afraid that I have essayed to do something for which I am not quite fitted—that is not literally fitted. It is easy, enough for me to relate in an aerial way how Mr. Hayes impresses me, but to put those impressions in a form that will make them acceptable for your column in The Age is another thing. Trusting, however, that your readers will give attention to the thought contained herein, and not the phrasiology, I shall endeavor to relate how this Negro genius impresses me." Following our conversation of the day that I would write for your column, Hayes, I am afraid that I have not quite fitted—that is not literal relate in an oral way how Mr. Hayes sions in a form that will make them another thing.

THE ARTICLE well known fact, general and Hayes is a great source he ever produced, long a source of pride among a source of pride number is limited.

Especially are his achievements in the realm of song a source of pride to Americans of color. But I wonder how many of these Americans think of him in the light of a race builder. I dare say the number is limited. "Most of our people give attention to the quality of his art. Those of us who attend his recitals know that he draws capacity audiences; know that he charms these audiences with his singing; but the reaction of this ability upon his listeners in the matter of racial up-building is something which I seriously doubt is being taken into account by members of the Negro race in their appraisal of this Negro singer's genius. "As a builder of racial estimation, in my humble opinion, Mr Hayes is the third greatest exponent of Negro achievement in the history of American Negroes. To me, Frederick Douglas and the lamented Booker Washington are the only two Americans of color who are entitled to be placed ahead of him. Whether one agrees or not with this placement, there is this certain fact: He is the most outstanding example of Negro progress and ability we have among us today." "In terming Mr. Hayes a race builder, I do not mean to imply that his contribution to the progress of our race is greater or more substantial than the contribution that is now being rendered by many of our teachers and leaders; for should I say that, I would be in eper. Our teachers and leaders build along one line; Mr Hayes, another. He builds by creating sentiment. And this sentiment towards the race is effected through his singing. "Now, just what I mean by creating racial sentiment is this. To bring about a condition in which one race will get a better perspective and understanding of another Roland Hayes helps to do this, in this country, at least, between the whites and the blacks. And it works in this manner. Wherever and whenever Mr Hayes is advertised to sing, the audience, as a rule, is composed mostly of the better class of whites. The impression that he makes on these people is not only helpful to him but it helps the racial group to which he' longs; for it demonstrates the falsity of the cry of the white demagogue that a Negro can go so far and no further in the scheme of things. "A good illustration of how he impresses some of his white auditors occurred at all of his recitals at which I was present. A refined and dignified white woman occupied a seat next to the one in which I sat. When Mr Hayes began to sing, she apparently, seemed unconcerned. Simply adjusted her lorgnette so as to get a better view of the singer. On completion of the song, she turned to me and said, 'The singer has done more than merely sing he has poured out the heart throbs of a people' "Another time I sat next to a man of German descent, who, when Mr Hayes rendered one of his German selection, asked me if I spoke German I answered him in the negative 'Well,' said he, 'Hi-German is perfect. He is a wonderful singer' "His recital on the night of January 27 brought out the regular full attendance of music lovers, and the expressions of 'great' and 'wonderful, which I have grown accustomed to hear whenever I am one of his auditors, were exclaimed profusely after the rendition of each song "Maybe I am somewhat sophisticated in my evaluation of this man as a racial builder, but a character that can move people, irrespective of race, to heights of rapture and peaks of admiration, must through this ability, world in some way a potent influence for the good of the race to which he belongs."
