DISSESION AMONG LOCAL ILKS HURTS N. Y.'S CHANCES
Conklin Says No Negro Can Lead
New York City Elodom So Split Up It Is Improbable That Anything Will Be Secured at the Coming Grand Lodge
Effort To Win 1927 Session For Country's Metropolis Apt To Be Defeated Through Lack Of Harmonious Coop eration of Manhattan, Monarch, Imperial Lodges
New York Elks are hoping to be able to secure the next session of the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World for New York City, but well informed observers are expressing the opinion that there are so many conflicting influences at work within the New York lodges that the hope is hardly possible of fulfillment.

the person it seems, is based on what appears to be insuperable objections to the coming together of the New York Lodges—Imperial Monarch and Manhattan—the relative consistency principally, it is said of conflicting ambitions cherished men in each lodge, said ambitions looking to individual prefermen instead of community of achievement. The recent publications by Harry D. L. the former grand secretary and a past grand exalted ruler, issued for the purpose of bolstering his candidacy in the position of grand secretary now held by George E. Bates, of Newark, N.J. have revealed an alleged condition which has contributed to share toward widening the New York breach.

Another argument advanced by Bates' friends is that if Pace knew of the malfeasance in office and violation of the law which he now charges he should have made his disclosures public long ago, instead of waiting until now when he wants to get back into a lucrative and easy job.
As matters stand now, it appears to the lookeron that both Wilson and Bates will be continued in office unless some unexpected and powerful "dark horse" should be brought out at the last minute.
And the internal dissensions and jealousies which honeycomb New York Elkdom will probably operate to kill any chance of bringing the next Grand Lodge of the country's greatest city unless the desire to come to New York is being in the breasts as to overcome any other consideration.
Pastor Killed Man And This Stopped Baptism Of Janitor
Fort Worth, Texas—Balaam Shaw colored janitor of the First Baptist Church, one of the largest white congregations in Fort Worth, was not baptised at the morning service in that edifice on Sunday, July 19 by the pastor, the Rev J. Frank Norris, as had been arranged. Neither was the special sermon whilst the pastor was scheduled to deliver preached. Incidentally, while Shaw was to be baptized in the white church, he was not to be a member thereof. His membership is to be placed in a church of his own race. The program was changed at the last minute, because on the day before, Saturday, the pastor, Dr Norris, had shot and killed D F Phipps, a wealthy lumberman, who had objected to some of the strictures uttered by the minister from his pulpit, against Mayor Meacham
Threatened Pastor
Phipps, it seemed, called at Dr. Norris study and threatened to kill the preacher unless there was a reservation of his condemnation of the mayor. The pastor sought to get Phipps to leave, and escorted his visitor to the door Phipps, it is said, returned with a threat, and was apparently about to attack Norris when the latter took a watchman's pistol from a drawer and fired three times Phipps died in an ambulance. Dr. Norris was released by the District Attorney on $10,000 bail, furnished by thirty members of his congregation.
Instead of the baptism of the Negro janitor and the special session, Dr. Norris preached from Romans, 8.1.2. "There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus." The edifice, which seats 6,000 was jammed to its utmost capacity and thousands lined the streets outside.
that he will be accompanied by two policemen and fifteen deputies. And the prospective excursionists who have in mind reaping a financial harvest from either crap shooting or bootlegging are further advised that the steam ship Clement on which the trip will be made "carries a strong jail". And the exclusiveness of the excursion is limited at in the proclamation that tickets can be purchased only inside the walls of Abysman Church, and that The President of the United States can't get on the boat if he comes down there without a ticket!"
Three Held Charged With Secured $1,000 Donation Rape On 14 Yr. Old Girl For Mt. Sweet Church
Leroy Mitchell and Harold Crawford of 2488 Seventh avenue and Harold Wilkerson of 2485 Seventh avenue are being held on a charge of rape. They are accused of having attacked Formie Harris, fourteen years old of 273 West 143rd street Wednesday evening, July 14. According to detectives who investigated the case and made the arrest following a complaint of a relative of the girl, she was enticed into the year of a stationary store in the vicinity of her home where the alleged attack took place. The girl is in the custody of the Children's Society and the men are being held to await the action of the Grand Jury.
Gov. McLean Prevents Execution of Mansell
Gov. McLean Prevents Execution of Mansell
Raleigh, N. C.-As forecast in last week's Age, Governor A. W. McLean has commuted the sence of Alvin Mansell, who was under sentence of death under an alleged charge of havingattacked a white woman on Sunnie Mountain. Mansell was convicted by the Bumcombe County Court, Asheville. At the time of the alleged happening a 'mob attempted to lynch Mansell and more than a dozen white men have been convicted and sentenced to prison as members of the mob. Just last week Herman Banks, one of the white men, was brought here from Asheville to begin a four to eight year sentence, and was put in a cell in the same wing of the main building in which Mansell was confined.
The Governor's action in commuting Mansell's sentence has airied more interest and comment than any other act of his administration. He has received letters and telegrams from people in all sections of the State and all walks of life. All commended his action save one, a newspaper reporter who had attended the trial and thought, on evidence presented there, that Mansell was guilty
New Evidence Discovered
Gov. McLean explained that his action was based on evidence discovered since the trial. He expressed the opinion that the law should be so amended as to make a new trial possible where new evidence comes to light instead of requiring the Governor to act both as judge and jury. Commenting further, the Governor said, "Of course I have been very much gratified at the unanimity with which the press prominent citizens and many organizations have opposed my action in the Mansell case. I have received more than a hundred letters and telegrams saying the conclusion I reached was a proper conclusion in their opinion after all the circumstances had been considered. It is often very difficult in cases of this kind for the Governor to present to the public the facts, as they are presented to him in such a way as to have the public interpret them accurately." "It is very heartening however, to know that when the good people of North Carolina fully understand the facts in any case that they will not tail to reach a fair and humane conclusion upon the facts."
Colored New Rochelle Regrets Action In Opposing John R. Hegeman Home
Colored New Rochelle Regrets Action In Opposing John R. Hegeman Home
That the colored citizens of New Rochelle, who opposed the location of the John R Hegeman Home for colored girls in that city have given the white residents an excuse to begin a movement to segregate them is becoming more and more evident every day. According to reports a colored man Mr Griffin, who built a house just below the Hegeman property, has been having considerable difficulty in securing new age and other permits which would make it possible for him to occupy the house. It is said the white citizens are now trying to check the growth of the colored neighborhood to the territory they now occupy.
Mine M Pattillo Harper The Age correspondent in New Rochelle writes that it was with regret that the best thinking people of her city noted the action of the Common Council and Board of Health in refusing to grant the Committee of Management for the John R Hegeman Home a permit to open their property. The colored citizens who work against the movement are beginning to realize they made a mistake

Woman Jumps From 2nd Story Window; Unhurt
Rose Williams, an actress alleged to be the wife of a well known comedian, became so excited when policemen broke into the apartment where she was living at 4 East 133rd street, early Saturday morning, that she jumped from a second story window into the courtyard below. She was uninjured but did not escape arrest.
The raiding officer and friends rushed into the yard expecting to find her helpless with a broken leg or some other injury, but were surprised to find her able to walk and trying to make her way to the street. She was arrested and taken to the Jefferson Market prison on a charge of prostitution.
Her mother, near lives on West 147th street near Seventh avenue, accrued bail for her, and insists that the case was a frameup. The case will be heard on Thursday
Harlem To Have
America's first little community theatre owned and managed by Negroes will be opened this fall in the heart of Harlem's large colored population. The building at 46 West 135th street, a stone's throw from Lenox avenue, has been bought by The Frogs, Inc. and will be converted into a 209-seat plushhouse equipped with stage, scenery, dressing rooms and modern lighting effects.
The Frogs were organized some years ago by Negroes prominently identified with the theatrical profession Among the incorporators were Bert A Williams Bob Cole, George W Walker and James Reese Europe. One of the aims is to encourage dramatic art among Negroes by providing an outlet for plays written by talented members of the race.
The officers of The Frogs Inc are Lester A Walton, president, I Rosamond Johnson first vice president, Alex Rogers second vice president, R. McPherson, secretary, and lesse A Shipp, treasurer.
The project will be primarily in the interest of dramatic art and not in any sense a commercial venture. The co-operation of the entire community will be sought.

Colored Republicans To Fight For Control Of 21st Assembly District
Another factional war broke out among the Republicans of the 21st Assembly District this week as a result of a letter sent to a group of colored captains by the hard-boiled leader of the district, Robert S. Conklin. Mr. Conklin wrote his colored district captains that he wanted their pledge of support in his campaign for reelection as executive member of the district, and unless this pledge was forth coming, they would be forced to give up their captaincies.
ROOF OF WOMEN'S HOTEL TO BE GUARDED FROM 'PEEPING TOMS' BY ELECTRIC WIRES
The harsh and threatening nature of the letter created such a stir of resentment among the colored workers, that Mr. Conklin agreed to face them in a conference to explain his meaning. This conference was held at the headquarters of the Appomattox Republican Club, on Monday evening, July 19, and was attended by about thirty members of that club.
Conklin' Issues Ultimatum
Mr. Conklin told those present that he had heard the members of the Appomattox Club were going out to fight for the leadership of the district since their plan for dual leadership had fallen through. He said the letter was sent out to find just which captains were opposed to him. Those who proposed to fight him would have to resign, Mr. Conklin stated, so he might appoint someone over the election district whom he knew to be friendly. In other words, Mr. Conklin stated that the letter might just what it stated.
Hamilton J. Travis explained that the colored people of the district outnumbered the whites in voting strength and since they were the majority they should be in control of the district. Mr. Conklin replied to this that he was the originator of the plan for dual leadership and had hoped to give colored voters more representation through this plan.
Sav Conklin Blundered
Dr. Charles H. Roberts stated that the felt Mr. Conklin had blundered in his handling of the affairs of colored voters and characterized the letter as a threat which would react against the Republican party in the district. He said the letter was intended to make those colored Republicans who had stood out for a principle 'kunckle' to the district leader. If these captains humiliated themselves by pledging themselves to Mr. Conklin at this time they would lose the respect of many colored voters, Dr. Roberts concluded.
Charles W. F. Mitchell, former associate leader of the district, explained in the members present that the club would either have to accept Mr. Conklin's ultimatum, or put a separate ticket in the field for county committeemen. At this point, Mrs.
Since the erection of an apartment house on the or next to that occupied by the Erma Ransom House the women's hotel conducted by the West 137th Street I W C A, at 165 West 137th street both building being of the same height the night watchman for the woman's caravansary has had no share midnight trespassers from the hotel roof on at least two occasions. The last happening occurred around 11 o'clock last Sunday morning when a solicitor's neighbor telephoned to the hotel desk that a man was prowling around on the roof of the building. The night watchman was nothed and he immediately proceeded to the roof. The trespasser catching sight of the watchman left hurriedly he was of the W C A holding root adjoining the hotel on side opposite from the apartment house. Being the rear fire escape the man decided to the level that enabled him to hop across to the fence in rear of the man Baptist church where he made his getaway.
Much excitement was caused among the minutes of the Erma Ransom House. The hotel accommodates some 225 women and was filled practically to capacity. Some of the Women were at the opening that the trespasser was a burglar seeking to reach the hotel of one where he might suppose a large number of men would be in easy reach
Scout Burglar Theory
But the W.W.C. officials are not allowed to accept this opinion. They think that the invasion was either the prank of some curious teker of the act of name "Peeping Tom" trying to satisfy a prismen desire by peering into the women's bed rooms.
Rosa Lampkin stated she thought Mr Conklin had a nerve to threaten the colored Republicans in this manner.
Fighting Po Political Life
Another speaker asked the leader whether the years of service the colored captains had given the party meant anything to him Mr. Conklin replied that he was fighting for his political existence and as a practical politician he was compelled to put the machinery of the organization in the hands of those whom he felt were friendly. Mr. Conklin declared he was not anxious to remain district leader, but there was no other white man available. When Dr. Roberts suggested that a colored man be given the job, Mr. Conklin replied that the white voters would not stand for it. He said the colored people were accustomed to white leadership but the white voters had never had a colored leader and to appoint one at this time would disrupt the district. Dr. Roberts came back with the refuser that the colored mere in the majority and in a short while would occupy the entire district.
To Continue The Fight
Other speakers asked Mr. Conklin about the appointment of Mrs. Horstense Warner as associate leader. He stated that Mrs. Warner had been selected because he knew her to be friendly disposed toward him. He admitted that there was so softification for the criticism of his selection of George W. Harris as the colored leader of the district after he had in an open letter to the press de-nounced Mr. Harris as a self seeker and accused him of being a harr Mr. Conklin said the selection of Mr. Harris had been made after consultation with the county chairman and other party leaders. The only concession Mr. Conklin made the Appomattox members was the promise to consult them in the naming of a candidate for the State Assembly. After he had gone, the concensus of opinion was that the only self-respecting thing for the colored captains to do was to continue fighting against Mr. Conklin's selfish and narrow leadership until the party leaders in the county saw fit to depose him.
Impreedability of burglaries attempting an invasion in this manner is seen in the fact that the entire building would have to be traversed from roof to first floor to gain access to the office, and even if the office were reached without discovery, attaches of the hotel are on duty every hour in the day, and would give instant alarm. And the final argument is that whatever money is in the office is safely put away in a nire and burglar proof safe that would require many minutes or hours of hard work before a burglar could get to its contents.
An Electric Barrier
The next question however, will not need to be discovered by either neighbors or the watchman. Under restrictions from Mrs. Cecilia Cabinets Saunders, the executive secretary Elise Elmendorf engineer in charge of the building has attached a series of fine wires to the switchboard controlling the current which is used to operate the elevator three tones of 250 volt capacitors each being available and these wires have been connected with a 12 ft wire screen or tense which has just been placed in position between the limo house and the alluminum apartment building where the two tools meet. Three these wires current of electrons 250 volt in power will be constantly shooting through every mesh and strand of the wire screen.
Any attempt to cross from the apartment house to the hotel roof will necessitate contact with this electric-charged bulwark, and the current, not sufficient to cause death is yet strong enough to overcome any marauder's desire to penetrate across the roof of the women's hotel.

Federal Attorney Buckner's Inactivity About Harben Bootlegging Joints Is Causing Harlemites No End Of Wonder Said To Be Giving All Of His Attention To "Higher-Ups" Completely Ignoring Activation of Persistent Violators of Prehibition Law Infesting Community
Harlemites are beginning to think that the United States Attorney for this district, Emory R. Buckner, is regarding the hooch situation in this community as a joking matter, judging from the manner in which he seems to be ignoring the opening and reopening of joints on Madison, Fifth; Lenox, Seventh and Eighth avenues — to say nothing of the cross streets.
It may be that the dispensers of alleged alcoholic liquors in Harlem are confident that the Federal prosecutor is too busy with the "big bugs" in the business to interfere with the "smaller fry," for certain it is that there must be some reason for the impunity with which these "birds" are flying
"Lookout" Dispensed With
With their present apparent feeling of safety, the "lookout" has been removed from many of the places and anybody can walk right in. Of course, if the bartender has a doubt, the would be patron does not get
Some time ago, in response to complaints which are based on inconveniences to which a leading Lenox avenue dentist and his patients were subjected, a hooch joint at 461 was closed, as was also another at 465, and the Federal Courts, with stipulations that the properties were no more to be used for selling of alleged alcoholic liquors.
Joints Are Reopened
Notwithstanding, it is evident that these restrictions have been disregarded and the court's orders flouted, for both places are again opened as hooch joints. This applies also to the former cigar store hooch place, at 503 Lenox avenue, which was "boldly placarded with a proclamation from the federal government" signaling that the pace was closed for violation of the National Prohibition Law, but which is again in operation. Federal Attorney Buckner has been furnished evidence of these violations time and again, but so far as action is concerned, as the late Grover Cleveland put it, it seems to be a "state of innocuous desuetude." In other words, there is nothing doing so far wrong, and the court is concerned—(exacerbate their regular calls upon the bootleggers in collecting largesse)—but this inactivity is not on behalf of the hooch sellers.
After "Higher-ups" Only
In his announced intention that he plans going after the "higher-ups," the men engaged in providing the wholesale supply for use of the little fellow in Harlem, Mr Buckner has evidently sounded a note which implies to the sad little fellow that he can go forward body in an active, living life and fill the doors to the joints where the thirst find surcause for their craving appetites
As evidence of their felling of immunity, many of the hooch sellers have dispensed with their "lookouts," the fellows who are perched on a high stool or some other elevated structure, peering out through the upper glass of a door or window, passing judgment upon the admissibility of the person. If the would be patron appeared to be "safe" the lookout pulled a chain which released a bolt and permitted the door to be opened "Unsafe" patrons tried in vain to get in
The evidence to close these Hoech
Joints and Speak-Easies is in
your office. Why not close them
up?
"Lookout" Dispensed With
With their present apparent feeling of safety, the "lookout" has been removed from many of the places and anybody can walk right in. Of course, if the bartender has a doubt, the would be patron does not get served. He is politely told that so far, and gear he can be held. How long will this last? is the question that perturbed Harlemites are asking, for it is producing a situation that it imminent in the extreme, and a living danger to every decent, respectable man, woman and child in the community. But they are getting no answer from the Federal prosecutor's office and possibly there is no reason to pursue unless the echo of sardonic laughter from the booch sellers' lips can be considered an answer.
16th Precinct Police Start Drive Against The 'Numbers' Players
16th Precinct Police Start Drive Against The 'Numbers' Players
The recent crusade on "numbers" players in Harlem by The Age has resulted in active cooperation by the police of the 16th Precinct The police of this precinct have been on the alert during the past week and this alertness resulted in the arrest of several people on the charge of policy playing Frank Parisi, a waiter in a soda fountain at 2218 Fifth avenue, was arrested Friday by Patrolman Joseph Shell for having policy slips in his possession David Ames of 2554 Eighth avenue was arrested by Patrolman Scott on the same charge.

Intercollegiate Meet At Nyack Urged Study Of Political History
Nyack, N. Y.—Seventy five delegates attended the second annual conference of the Negro Intercollegiate Association of New York City, which ended a two-day session Sunday night. Saturday's session was conducted at 77 Jackson Nyack avenue. Nyack, but Sunday's took place on the Perry estate, one of the colleges. Students from eighteen colleges assembled on the lawn. They were present on invitation of Miss Dorothy Perry, who is deeply interested in Negro welfare. Delegates represented Cornell, Harvard, College of the City of New York, Radelfille, Virginia Union, Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Plat Howard, Lincoln University, Chicago, Temple Pittsburgh University, Northeastern and Spelman Seminary.
Discussions took place on the social, economic religious and educational status of the Negro in the United States. It was agreed that one of the most effective factors in the Negro working out his problem is the vote. Non-partisanship was stressed as necessary, and it was urged upon the delegates that the importance of studying politics, knowing the political history, the political methods of this country, must be counted to their comrades. Negro students in the colleges and schools of the country should be taught to give special attention to the political course of study, it was asserted.
It was also urged that Negro education does not get sufficient attention. Education of the Negro industrials had not been over emphasized, but higher education for the Negro had been under emphasized. It was asserted. It was urged that his education alone industrials and cultural can the Negro make the same progress as other races in America. It was pointed out that the Negro was declared accessor for Negro, by his conduct and life to win out whatever prejudice exists against him. Other speakers lauded the progress of the American Negro toward his rightful place in our national life. His progress in the arts and music was especially stressed. Miss Louise H. Jackson president of the association presided. Her aid on the committee were I. D. Johnson and Lucile Spence.
Why "numbers" players were formerly within the law was explained to a reporter for The Age in an interview given by a prominent lawyer. He displayed a carefully written brief which contained a definition and the history of the game of policy. In part he said: "A policy case generally follows this course of events. First of course, comes the arrest and preliminary examination, leading to an indictment by the Grand Jury. Under this indictment the defendant was accused of the crime of unlawfully having. In his possession a police slip, in violation of section 974 of the Penal Law of the State of New York.
"To this indictment, the defendant pleaded 'Not Gullity' and the case went before the Court for decision on the following agreed statement of facts as to whether the slip containing the numbers set out in the indictment came within the purview of section 974 of the Penal Law. in that the defendant did have in his possession a 'writing, paper and document representing and being a record of a chance, share and interest in numbers sold, drawn and to be drawn, and in what is commonly called 'Policy'
Argument of the Defense
"The paper found in the possession of the defendant and set out in the indictment establishes that neither 'lottery policy' nor 'policy' as defined by the statute, is evidence by such possession. The concession by the district attorney that the paper found in the possession of the defendant represents a guess of the last two numbers in the millions of the New York Clearing House Exchange and the last number in the millions of the Federal Reserve Credit Balance takes the possession of the slip with such numbers on it out of the statute governing the possession of policy slips
Definition of Policy
"The best definition of 'policy' is to be found in the Standard Dictionary, Vol 2 page 1373 Policy "A gambling-game in which 78 numbers are placed in a wheel, from which 12 are drawn in the morning and 13 in the afternoon. A player names any number or combination of numbers contained in the wheel, and if they appear he wins a sum proportionate to the amount of his stake. The first three numbers drawn at any daring are called a 'Cap'. A combination of two numbers is teamed "Saddle" "three bumps" "Gig" and "a Brute". A combination of two numbers named to appear among the first three drawn is a "Cap-Saddle". In a combination of four numbers there are six "saddles" and four "gigs", which may be played
"A lottery is a sort of gaming contract by which, for a valuable consideration, one may, by favor of the lot, obtain a prize of value superior to the amount or value of that which the risks. Three elements enter into a lottery scheme a consideration, a chance a prize or some advantage of inequality in amount or value which is in the nature of the prize
Law Cited
"In Pen vs Cannon, 139 N Y 32, we find this statement. It cannot be disputed that the courts of this and other states are committed to the general principle that even in criminal prosecution the legislature may, with some limitations enact that when certain facts have been proved they shall be presumed prima facie evidence of the existence of the main fact in question. The limitations are, that the fact upon which the presumption is to rest, must have some fair relation to or natural connection with the main fact. This is the law applied in many cases.
"So in the case at bar, if as is conquered by the defense, the numbers on the defendant are simply efforts to guess correctly the last two numbers of the daily exchanges and the last number of the daily bank balance then it is not a 'policy' slip and does not come within the prohibition of section 974 of the Penal Law and the indictment must fail."
'Numbers' Not Policy Game
"The Court's knowledge of what constitutes 'Policy' when applied to the conceded facts involved in the case will force it to the conclusion that the indictment should be dismissed. No one knowing the game of policy as it is recognized, under the Statute and in which so many points of laware enumerated the case of Penny's Albert J. Adams which is the leading case on this game reported in 176 I. V. 351 where the indictment and proof was predicted upon the game as defined in the Standard Dictionary, would seriously contend that mere possession of a slip of paper with numbers thereon which numbers represent the last numbers of the daily exchange with last number of the daily balance given each day in the paper and where in drawing it by the wildest stretch of imagination he construed to come within the purview of section 924 which requires a drawing.
"In the matter of Baker Supreme 278 the learned magistrate held that to justify him in holding a prisoner accused of a violation of section 344 of the Penal Law (from which section 974 is derived) there must be evidence that the policy ships in the possession of the person charged were in some way connected with a lottery or policy drawing." This view seemed to have the support of the entire bench, and for all these cases the court for the defense makes a motion for the indemnities dismissal. None out of ten cases were dismissed when this brief was used.

Dr. Carpenter, who made a notable reputation as pulpit orator, and pastor while serving, in. Philadelphia and Brooklyn, N. Y., has done a splendid work since coming to Buffalo. He does not feel that his work here has been completed, but the bishops believe that the Nashville work will offer Dr. Carpenter larger opportunities for future work without entailing any greater strain upon him at the present time. He has made many friends in this community, all of whom regret to see him leave, but they too, believe the southern field will offer great possibilities. As a pastor, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, Dr. Carpenter was a staple always of clean living and moral probity in both pew and pulpit, and while his denunciations of vicious conditions stirred enmity among certain classes he enjoyed the heartset and most sincere support from the better element of the people always.
This charge will be the first he has held below the Mason and Dixon line but the church prelates and Dr. Culpenter himself, as well as his many friends, are sure that he will adapt him to the different condition and become a powerful factor for good in his new field of endeavor.

'Whip' Editors Lose Libel Suit Against A. Philip Randolph
Chicago, Ill.-The libel suit against A. Phillip Randolph as editor of the Messenger magazine, brought by Joseph D. Bibb and A. C. McNeal, editor and publisher of the Chicago Whip, was dismissed last week, on motion of Mr. Randolph's attorney.
Although the article was written by Chandler Owens and published during Mr. Randolph's absence, he was enjoined in both the criminal and civil suits. The indictment for alleged criminal libel against both Randolph and Owens was dismissed several months ago. The civil action was postponed from time to time but only a few days, according to Mr. Randolph's friends, so as to keep him in Chicago and to interrupt his work of organizing the Pullmen Porters.
The suits came as the result of the publication of a series of articles in which the editors of the Chicago Whip, a weekly publication, were accused of blackmail

Washington, D. C.—The enactment of legislation, in the closing days of Congress, which creates a division in the Department of Agriculture to foster the development of co-operative marketing among farmers is of great interest to the thousands of colored tillers of the soil. The extent to which they are interested is indicated by their production of those things which are absolutely necessary to the progress, comfort, and happiness of the Nation.
Colored farm operators produce each year approximately 100,000,000 bushels of corn; 4,500,000 bales of cotton, 2,000,000 tons of cotton seed, 100,000,000 pounds of tobacco, 12,000,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, 4,000,000 bushels of white potatoes; 5,000,000 bushels of peanuts, 4,500,000 bushels of oats, 2,000,000 bushels of wheat, 1,500,000 bushels of dry peas, 900,000 bushels of rice.

Dog Nites Women On First "Dog Day"
The first of the "dog days," which began with St. Swithin's Day, July 15, brought disaster to "Sport," a small dog owned by Adone Domnoyas of 2550 Seventh avenue. "Sport" was in a disagreeable mood all day and when a stranger, Clarice Bowen, also of 2550 Seventh avenue, attempted to get familiar with him, he hit her on the call of the left key.
Miss Bowen was treated by Dr. May Chima at Harlen Hospital and "Sport" is now in the custody of the Board of Health, awaiting the outcome of Miss Bowen's injuries.

Hundreds Study Race Relations At Blue Ridge Southern Conferences Give Prominent Place To Race Relations In Sessions
Blue Ridge, N. C.-This summer, as for several years past, the study of race relations has been a major feature at the many important gatherings held at this popular conference point, and the interracial message has reached thousands of people in positions of influence and leadership.
Among the meetings so far held in which the subject has had a prominent place have been the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Student Conferences, the Missionary Education Conference, and the Y. W. C. A. Community Conference. In all these there have been group discussions or platforms addresses featuring race relations, and great interest has been manifested. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, recently elected president of Howard University, presented the subject before the men students in a powerful address that made a profound impression.
Two colored students, Wesley Elam of Hampton Institute and R. L. Boone of Shaw University, were present by invitation as fraternal delegates and were entertained by the conference for several days, making a very favorable impression upon the hundreds of white students in attendance from all over the Southeast. At the Missionary Education and Y W. A. Conference, R. B. Eleazer, educational director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, presented the cause on the platform and before a number of discussion groups.

INTEREST IN DELINQUENT GIRLS Magistrate Jean H. Norris, the only woman holding a judgeship in New York City, has manifested a sympathetic interest in dealing with the problem of the delinquent girl in the courts. Examples of this interest have been shown from time to time in the Women's Court, over which Judge Norris has presided and dealt with the cases brought before her with rare insight and judgment. Judge Norris has felt special concern over the cases of colored girls, because of the lack of adequate facilities for dealing with them, other than committing them to penal institutions, where they will be thrown into contact with hardened criminals and their graduation in vicious courses accelerated.
Many of these girls who have taken the first step in delinquency might be saved from total wreck and regained on a normal footing in society by proper measures of reclamation. A larger interest is urged on the part of the women of the race in this question. Through an appropriate organization a voluntary worker should be provided, to look after these girls when they are taken into court and determine whether they cannot be better cared for through such agency, than by commitment to a penal institution. This worker would need to be a woman of experience and sound judgment, not easily fooled by hardened offenders. She would need to receive a regular compensation in order that she might give her full time to the work, and a place would be needed to accommodate at least those girls who were without shelter or whose home surroundings needed adjustment.
Judge Norris has been impressed by the need of some such arrangement to meet the exigencies of many of the cases brought before her. Not all girls who are charged with being delinquent are necessarily lost to a sense of moral responsibility and the desire to retrieve a false step, if the opportunity is affotded them. It is for this class of girls, that the helping hand of a women's organization is needed. No worrier object could be set for such an organization than the saving of such girls from the evil results of their inexperience or rashness, which may have betrayed them into the first steps of delinquency. The furnishing of a trained helper to lead them back into the right road, and the establishment of an institution, where they could be cared for and trained for useful service, would be an achievement in building up self-respecting womanhood, worthy of any race of people. The need for such work is pressing and Judge Norris is to be commended for showing how it can be met.
NEW HOMES FOR NEW YORKERS
The real estate editor of the New York World recently announced that city landlords in residential districts are beginning to show alarm over the heavy volume of new homes. His announcement was corroborated by the comment attributed to the president of a real estate owners' association, that "New York is saturated with housing—We have homes to burn." Whether this apprehension of the real estate owners is warranted by the volume of new buildings reported, renting brokers expect to find out this fall.
The report of the Tenement House Commissioner shows a vast increase in the number of plans filed in the greater city during the past six months, but as such increase in the past has been in the matter of high priced apartments its effect on the general situation is doubtful. In this increase of new apartments, the Bronx leads, with Brooklyn a close second and Queens third. No new tenement construction was planned for Richmond, but Manhattan called for over five thousand new buildings of this character. The figures for the greater city show a marked decrease in the cost of housing the average family, but this is made up in part by the fact that the average family occupies less space than formerly, the number of rooms allotted having dropped from five to three.
If these figures relating to the supply of new homes are borne out by the facts, relief must come eventually to the housing congestion still apparent in certain parts of New York. As the old tenants seek new
quarters in the newly constructed buildings their former apartments will seek new tenants. Out of the shuffle there should come a reduction of rentals to a normal figure and an increase of available accommodations for those who have been living in congested quarters. On account of the increased expense of construction and the rising values of land in Manhattan, rents will probably never go back to the figures prevailing before the war. The cost of housing, as with all other necessities of life, has taken on a permanent increase.
The increase in the supply of housing to meet the demand should, however, put a stop to rent profiteering, provided that the supply extends to the region outside the zone of high class apartment houses. Some relief in this direction is to be looked for in the Rockefeller project for model apartments designed for Harlem residents. An increase of apartments of this character would do more to relieve the manifold evils of the housing situation, than the more elaborate buildinga planned.
DISCUSSION OF NEGRO ART.
A lively and interesting discussion as to the existence of what may be styled Negro art in the United States has been conducted in the columns of the Nation, the journal of liberal opinion edited by Oswald Garrison Villard. In the opening article, George S. Schuyler, a prolific and forceful periodical writer of the Menckenesque type, denied the existence of Negro art outside the black.Nations of Africa. Such a development among the ten million colored people in this republic was decried as self-evident foolishness and a mirage visualized only by eager apostles from Greenwich Village.
Mr. Schuyler admitted the existence of the spirituals and the blues, jazz and the Charleston, but called these a contribution of a caste in a certain section of the country. According to his judgement, they are as foreign to Northern, West Indian and African Negroes as the music and dancing of Appalachian highlanders or the Dalmatian peasants are to the Caucasian race. The literature, painting and sculpture of Aframericans, as Mr. Schuyler designates American Negroes, is declared identical in kind with the same productions of white Americans, that is, it shows more or less evidence of European influence. In short, Mr. Schuyler insists that three hundred years under American institutions have made the Aframerican "merely a lampblacked Anglo-Saxon."
In opposition to this iconoclastic view of Negro art, Langston Hughes, a poet of high promise and considerable achievement, pointed out that the mountain standing in the way of true Negro art in America is "this urge within the race toward whiteness, the desire to pour racial individuality into the mold of American standardization and to be as little Negro and as much American as possible." The social and family background of the middle and high class Negroes was declared to be responsible for this conformity to Caucasian patterns. The common element, which is the majority, was hailed as the source of colorful distinctive material for any artist because they still hold their individuality in the face of American standardizations.
The present vogue of the Negro has brought the budding colored artist forcibly to the attention of his own people, although Mr. Hughes describes his road as rocky, owing to the lack of racial encouragement. "The Negro artist," says Mr. Hughes, "works against an undertow of sharp criticism and misunderstanding from his own group and unintentional bribes from the whites." He says that both would have told Jean Toomer not to write "Cane," which he pronounces, "contains the finest prose written by a Negro in America. And, like the singing of Robeson, it is truly racial." Mr. Hughes insists that in spite of the "Nordicized Negro intelligentsia" and the desires of some white editors, we have an honest American Negro literature already with us. He now awaits the rise of the Negro theatre, and within the next decade expects to see the work of a growing school of colored artists who paint and model the beauty of dark faces. And, he concludes, the Negro dancers and singers will be with us in even greater numbers tomorrow.
Mr Schuyler has not the faith in the masses as a source of Negro art, that Mr Hughes professed. He claims in a rejoinder, that they are no different from the white masses, as both "watch the lazy world go round" and "have their nip of gin on Saturday nights." Another contributor to the discussion, Dorothy Fox, asked if Mr Hughes wasn't a bit impatient with the intelligentsia of his race and pointed to the fact that the masses are filling the schools and universities with their children. Headley E. Bailey agreed with Mr Schuyler that "Negro art made in America is only a myth," but he added that "the budding Negro artist must struggle on despite the handicaps and the mushroom minds within his group, because the struggle is more joyous and pregnant with real life than its abandonment." Michael Gold strikes at the root of the mat-
per by example. "How is the name of Lord Ford can a Negro or a Jew or a Chicanan or even an Irishman escape his environment? Especially when that environment is the most insistent ever known, pounding like an obsession at the ears and nerves and brain—America the genius?"
The development of purely Negro art in America may be incompatible with the environment, but it is nevertheless possible for the Negro to contribute to American art and letters productions stamped with his own individuality and colored by his racial experiences and inherited temperament. Development along those lines should unfold rare possibilities.
EAST INDIAN EDITORIALS.
The People is the name of a weekly periodical, published every Sunday, at the Tikak School of Politics, Lahore, India. A copy of the issue of June 13, which has reached this office, gives an idea of the tone of discussion in Asiatic politics, especially where British influence is supreme as in India. The editor of the paper is given as L. Lajput Rai, but under his name is appended the words "Gone Abroad." The editor in charge is stated as Perox Chand. In the leading editorial, entitled "A Sorry Performance," exception is taken to the attitude of a native candidate for the Assembly on the Liberal side, for condoning the sins of the Government and criticising the Non-cooperators and Swarajists, as well as Mahatma Ghandi, who is still a popular idol. In another article, headed "Bengal Bans Music," it is asserted that a silly quarrel about mosques and music cannot be ignored, because it results in breaking of heads. A cable dispatch last week showed that this religious quarrel had resulted in a riot between Hindus and Mahomedans, in which several natives were killed.

A stable dispatch last week showed that this religious quarrel had resulted in a riot between Hindus and Mahomedans, in which several natives were killed.
The Sikhs, one of the native tribes of India, were commended for closing up their banks and settling a domestic quarrel between two groups. The Gurkas, another tribe, noted as furnishing soldiers for the British army, were stamped as steeped in ignorance and living under many disabilities in their mountainous country. A modern program of reform has been planned for their improvement, but the editor feared that too much time and energy were spent in preaching loyalty to the British sovereign, of which the Gurkhas already have too much.
The Madras government was taken to ask for the vindicativeness shown in refusing to remove the conviction ban debarring one Mr. Yakub Muissian from becoming a legislator. These and other questions discussed by the editor of the People, show that the native press of India is capable of expressing its opinions in idiomatic English, strongly and tersely, on all questions of politics, whether internal or international.

A HUNT FOR CHEAP LABOR.
Discussing the hunt for cheap labor, which now possesses most of the nations of Europe and America, or at least the capitalistic forces of those nations which control their various governments, the People, a weekly paper published in Lahore, India, had an editorial on "Labor East of Suez," which showed the world wide nature of the situation. It read:

It read:
The Asiatic and African hands provide the happy hunting grounds for the European capitalists in search of cheap labour. A world wide labour movement cannot ignore these toiling and miserable millions. Besides with the organic unity of the world achieved to-day by science their misery is a serious menace to the advanced provetariat of European countries. We had indeed that the Genova International Conference has passed a resolution for an inquiry into conditions of colored labour. India can justly feel proud that it was at the instance of her workers' delegate that the resolution was adopted.
The recent activities of the League in connection with the abolition of slavery make the resolution all the more opportune. The Governing Body of the I L O, has of late been taking some sort of interest in native labour, but an injury like the one now contemplated is necessary to get a true picture of the state of things. The fastions of Tokyo, the slums of Shanghai, the jute mills of Calcutta have all a ghastly tale to tell. That of the African natives toiling in plantations is unmeasurable more so. But possibly the plantations will be precluded from the purview of the inquiry when it comes and there is not much of industrial labour in Africa.
The exploitation of the colored races of the earth for the benefit of the whites is not confined to any one continent, nor to any group of nations. Great Britain exploits the native Indians in their own country and South Africa as well where many of them have settled in search of better living conditions. She also, through her own agents and the former Dutch rulers of South Africa, oppresses and exploits the native and robs him of his lands and cattle. Belgium continues to exploit the natives of the Congo,

Belgium continues to exploit the natives of the Congo, while France dominates the central and northern part of the African continent, as well as Nadagascar on the west. The Portuguese take their pound of flesh from the natives of Southeast Africa, while Spain and Italy strive to carve out territory for their own selfish enrichment. The same game is played in other parts of the globe, wherever the native races are not strong enough to resist foreign encroachments. The United States is carrying on the same program of exploitation of colored labor in

Florida folks are now at home, busy building houses, enlarging old houses, making needed repairs in places, installing modern conveniences in their new houses and their business places, and making substantial hardwear in every direction.
The Members of Commerce and the Boards of Trade are in position to back Florida's claim to distinction in almost every direction, just for the asking.

THE AGE READ
The Race's Political Future
THE AGE READERS' FORUM
Editor of The New York Age:
Well, the 60th Congress has finished
its work and has passed into history.
What will be the benefit of its labours
is left for the future to tell. One thing
we do know is that it has left the colored
voters, who have expected much,
and got nothing, save political acronym
still singing. "Nobody knows the troubles I see."
There was some excuse for our
leaders of reconstruction days looking
to the past, but most of the present day leaders
are educated but lack the manhood
to stand up and speak out for justice
due their race.
"Come on," said the leaders during the political campaign of 1924, "and help put the Republican candidate for office over." This is the party of Lincoln, Grant, Summer and other friends of the race. Come on and help put Coolidge in the White House. We will cut out segregation in the government departments. We will cut out having to send your pictures when applying or government positions. We will turn the Democratic raals out and give many of these places to "deserving colored Republicans," etc. Have any of these things been done. "O. well," some weak leaders will say, "he has appointed James A. Cobb to be a judge in the Municipal Court in Washington." That's true, but didn't Woodrow Wilson recognize the colored race as much by giving the late Judge Robert H. Terrel the same place? Certainly he did.
So our good president hasn't a thing for us to brag about. Why not, Mr. President, give a colored man the position of Register of the Treasury? This could have been done at the same time while putting your signature to a bill making it lawful for the sons and daughters of your trusted political leaders and friends to bathe in a dirty mudhole, which is infested with alligators and mermaids) where they may not come in touch with the white boys and girls. (It must be one awful thing to be white).
How then, can the leaders of the race look their people in the face and beg them to give their suffrage, to one they know to be marginal to them? We have leaders who can be trusted. These leaders can be depended upon to do the right thing. They have proved themselves to be race leaders indeed! And may Almighty God be with them in their efforts to secure justice, everywhere, for their people, and I bee to suggest that they lead.
CIVIL SERVICE NEWS
The Municipal Civil Service Commission will make known the persons who passed in the examination for clerk. Grade 2, held by them on January 5 and 6, 1926, next week. It is a large list, as a large number passed. The Municipal Civil Service announces in the near future an examination for civil service investigator and civil service examiner; also, stenographer and typist, Grade 2. State and County Departments established an eligible list of 511 persons for clerk from their last examination.
many of these wars, for the Japanese, with a strong home government, bound them, are not so easily exploited as other colored races. In Haiti and San Domingo the usual program of exploitation of native labor has been laid out, with United States marines and machine guns to back it up. There is plenty of material for an inquiry into the conditions of colored labor all over the world.

In commenting Bishop Gregg for deciding against the acceptance of the presidency of Howard University on a basis of duty, the Philadelphia Christian Recorder, official organ of the A. M. E. Church, said:
The church will never fail when men get Duty first. In this age there have been charges of politeness and lack of spiritual interest. Let us point to Bishop Gregg as an instance which disproves the charge.
"What is there in the bishopric of a colored church that would cause a man like Bishop Gregg to stick to it in the face of the Howard appointment?" asked a layman who gets his idea of the bishops from mud and slinging malign newspapers. Our answer was "The bishopric is not a job; it is a call; it is not an appointment; it is a commission from God. To feel the call of God to lead the Negro church, in America and abroad, is the greatest call that can come to a black man in this day and generation."

"Fair tomorrow, with rising temperature.
That sound, pretty bad in the middle
of summer. But it does not have to
be as uncomfortable as it appears, even
to some of our overweight brothers and
sisters. A few simple hot weather rem-
dies might help.
Cut down on the heavy diet. We all
like our food, but we can get along
with a lot less in this kind of weather.
Eat less meat and eggs. We probably
eat too much amy time. Much too much
for the summer.
Don't try to support your diet from
the North Pole just because the ther-
mometer makes you think you are living
on the Equator. Take some hot
food every day, but also try the cooling
and healthy salads. They are always
good for us. Drink plenty of cold
water but forget water and ice cold
drinks. You will be more comfortable
without them.
Put on loose clothing. Have it tight in weight and color. No reason to pity the fat man who wears a tight stiff collar. Save him a loose soft collar. Please soft underwear sounds pretty good, too. Cotton or linen is good for this purpose. Perhaps some of the ladies prefer something in silk—that is also all right. Change your clothing frequently, preferably daily. Use your bath tub or shower every day. Keep the body clean, open up the pores to your skin care breathe. Then let the old mercury go up through the top.

The State Civil Service of New Jersey announces the following examinations: nursing nurse, assistant nursing nurse, resident nurse, painter, plumbing inspector, farts overseer, garageman driver, driver mechanic, and general automobile mechanic.

Referring to a great meeting of the Turners, recently held in Louisville, the Louisville Leander said that Turners might not interest us except for certain facts, which it proceeded to state.
Turnersism is an old and well-developed system of correlated physics and mental exercises designed to foster trust, patriotism. It is a German tradition and endures quite 80,000 adults and youth in its societies.
Three German scholars, it seems brought the idea from Germany to the United States. One of them, Dr. Karl Fack, became a professor in Harvard, amassed some wealth and used part of his wealth to equip soldiers for the Union cause.
A second founder of Turnersia in America, Dr. Karl Follers, also became a Harvard professor. But he had ideal ideas and courage, and in the course of time became one of the most famous writers and orators to the abolition movement.
In the last war. Turismism vindicated itself. It is a well-known fact that of all the men forced by the draft laws to present themselves for service, over 33 per cent had to be rejected after rigid physical examination and mental examination. In the case of the Turms only 68 per cent were rejected, thanks to the previous physical training of Turismism. And the Turms who were accepted withdrew the rights of the service better than their less prepared comrades and soon demonstrated to the army officers their fitness to perform special work requiring superior physical and mental equipment.
Credit is given to this organization for the progress of physical culture in the public schools and supervised recreations. It is one of the beneficial products of German culture.
In answer to the question, "Do the Negroes want co-operation among themselves," the Atlanta Independent said among other things:
We have 80,000 Negroes in Atlanta, sending 25,000 children to the public schools, who are being educated every day and must have useful employment when they have school or drift into illiteracy or crime. These figures do not include the young men and women in the colleges and high schools in the city. The 80,000 Negro people spend more or less, $600,000 each week for sustenance, necessary or unnecessary. A huge total of more than $31,200,000 annually. Less than one million of that vast sum is spent by Negroes among themselves.
The Negroes of Atlanta deposit weekly quite an hundred thousand dollars to their credit in the savings banks of our city. Not more than one per cent of these vast savings are deposited in our Negro bank. Atlanta Negroes collect each week from one another in insurance premiums, more than $25,000, but less than 20 per cent of the goodly money is spent among Negroes, or deposited in Negro banks. Atlanta Negroes buy each week approximately $25,000 worth of medicine and toilet articles, and less than 5 per cent of this large sum is spent with Negro business men.
The conclusion was that the facts presented argued whether the Negroes wanted business co-operation, which would give employment to ten thousand boys and girls of the race.
The St. Louis Argus took issue with the following saying of Marcos Garvey printed in the Negro world of June 12: "No one can influence me against Jew because they are Jews, Catholics because they are Catholics, or Klannmen because they are Klannmen." Terming this an illogical comparison, the Argus said:
They are Klannmen. This looks to us like a veiled endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan on the part of the U. N. A. leader. The Jews are such a birth and religion. The Catholic faith is as old as history. It is their religion under which they serve their God, but of a desire to serve their creature. But the Ku Klux Klan was concerned in race and religious persecution, been the very devils themselves, and murdered in the credit of race hatred and religious intolerance. Its purpose is to teach that one race is better in the sight of God than another, that the class of people must be servants of other in a country like America seeks to pit race and religion against religion. It arrogates to its success the high privilege of acting as judge and jury, in passing on the conduct others not members of the klan and right to administer summary punishment according to their own feelings.
Neither logic nor consistency was conspicuous in Garvey a police. His fervority complex made him an ally apologist for the Ku Klux Klan despite his protestations of race loyalty.
Admitting that Senator Borah stated a fact, when he said that the colored race were given the franchise before they were prepared to use it when the Portland Adocate said.
But now that the majority of the colored race is prepared to intelligent exercise the right of franchise and the rights of citizenship, some white men both North and South are trying to abrogate their right of franchise and citizenship. It stands to reason if constitutional rights of one of the citizens can be abrogated there is no reason why the other Amendment to the Constitution cannot be amended or set aside. If that why is Senator Borah and his advocates protesting against modification of the United Act? And why so silent on the tenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Those are questions which have canon and consistency to must lican statesmen to answer more votes in catering to more than in supporting human rights.

Our visitation preschers are announced in the Church Bulletin, and will represent many large institutions throughout the country, as well as churches. 51. James welcomes the many summer visitors, and is happy that so many of them worship with us.
Monthly meeting last was the time of the second quarter, but this meeting of the church, at which time accounting reports were made, especially that of the trustees, which showed that the Church has a equal balance in its treasury at the present time. The deceased made their reports, in which, as is the custom, they recommended that the pastor be given the month of August as a reaction, and all money raised on the fourth Sunday in the present month be given him as a vacation fund. This was adopted, with the understanding that the sum shall be the same as on other years. The most interesting feature of the meeting was the report of the committee on the securing of church house, made through the pastor. He reported that the property had in view is still on the market, but that, the price on the property has been increased $80,000, and the terms are cash, so that both of these make the matter prohibitive. Then he offered an alternative plan, which is more reasonable, with the possibilities of success, and this plan was adopted by the church.
Wednesday night. Mine, Harmond, vice president of B. V. P. U., had charge of the meeting in the absence of Mr. Dougitty, the president. The topic quarterly, having not been sent, the pastor selected, and opened the topic—"The Contrasting Love of Christ." This provoked a discussion which was full of interest.
Friday night, Deacons J. M. Ware and W. H. Turner conducted the covenant meeting, which was well attended. Bro. Grandy, of Abbyssinian Church was present, and stirred the congregation with his heart-felt talk. Rev. Gillmore, a member of the Church, living in Brooklyn, said that he came over because the spirit moved him to come, even though tired, and having decided to stay home and rest. He pledged his support to the pastor and the church in all their efforts, and said that, no matter where nor when he died, he wished his body brought to St. Paul, and his pastor to have the last word over it.
Sunday, the pastor having previously announced that he would conduct a covenant meeting, took as the tape "Victory Through Christ." This also proved to be a very helpful meeting, the people seemingly rejoicing to be permitted to tell of their love and loyalty to the Church.
In the afternoon at 4 p. m., W. W. Monroe, of Abysinian Church, who is supplying M. E. Church, in the absence of Dr. F. W. Cullen, who is now visiting the Holy Lands, preached a most wonderful sermon under auspices of the group of the Mussinary Society led by M. Lovell.
The storm which came just at the time for the evening service, prevented the large crowd that usually fills the church on third Sunday evenings, yet, notwithstanding this, the Pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon on "Reconciliation Between God and Men." After this Lord's Supper was observed
First Emmanuel Church
At the 11 o'clock services Sunday,
Pastor Bolden preached from the text
"But my God shall supply all your
needs according to his wishes in
Christ 'the Son'." Phrase 4:199
"The inexhaustible supply of
God to Man."
Some of the extracts from Pastor Bolden's sermon are as follows:
All forms of life, even to those who thank Him not, God supplies their needs. Years, millenniums, cons, are so arranged that nature touches the borderline of needs, and supply through the spirit is made manifest. Paul was a deep meditator upon the idea that God in Jesus had expressed to the wailing world. When Jesus said: "Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow that take thought for the things it will. Sufficient unto the day the evil thereof." Meet to-day, take though of tomorrow in business, education, social work. If you take though of today tomorrow ever come? Jesus then he spoke of the morrow he spoke from the eternal consciousness, and in that consciousness there is no tomorrow.
God supplies all your needs. There in a vast difference needs and wants. In the wilderness God supplied the children of Israel's needs daily, they attempted to hord it up and store it away, but it rattled. Jesus said: "Lay not up for yourself treasure upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt and where chives break through and steal, but lay up for yourself treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where chives do not break through nor steal."
Paul was very thankful to his Heavenly Father for all things. His trials, his shipwrecks and his imprisonments were as much a part of the manifestation of the riches of God in his experience as money and the material support of friends. The riches of God is not money. The riches of God is not material. But in some cases it is the sense evidence of God's favor. Let God companion you. Let God associate with you. The world needs a true spirit of charity and honesty. Let a pure spirit of goodness all life and joy in the Holy Ghost is what we need.
WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH
There are some of the rules of God:
John Macyan has his greatest work
prison. God will supply all your
needs. Keep your conscience, avoid
encounter toward 'God' and man. God
will and does supply all your needs
with rights in glory.
At 2:30 m, the Sunday school was opened. Rev. Bolden' gave a short review of the lesson study.
In the evening Rev. Holder preached to those assembled. His sermon was very helpful. Holy Communion was served at both the morning and evening service. Dinner was served during the day by the members of the Energetic Circle. On Friday night there will be a unique program and Hobo carnival given by the members of the Missionary Society.
Grace Congregational Church
The services at Grate Church, Rev. A. C. Garger pastor, were well attended last Sunday morning. The sermon theme was "Jesus the bread of life." The sermon was good, briathing have been helpful to the hearers.
The summer choir did fairly well. The summer visitors were numerous and the service was altogether pleasing.
The choir sang to the Reconciliation Tourists and Students of all creeds who make cultural trips into various race centres. Dr. Clarence Howell is the leader. George H. Royal directed the chorus.
The announcement plans for the fall rally and pointed to diagrams on the board. These repeated subscriptions amounting to $2,700.
The evening service was held with a small group of folk, but it was interesting.
An offering was taken for the Daily Vacation Bible School. Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Vaughn and Mark Parks, made short speeches.
Rush Memorial Church
In a seminette to the members of the Junior Church, last Sunday, at ten o'clock, Dr. Oliver, the pastor laid great emphasis on four things which they were to observe and hold sacred (1) God's name (2) God's House, the Church; (3) God's Word—the Bible; (4) God's Day—the Sabbath. The young people seemed to thoroughly understand the lesson taught and were very attentive throughout the service. The Junior Choir rendered beautiful magic. At eleven o'clock, a very large congregation waited patiently for the presenting of Bishop J. S. Caldwell, D. D. of Flla, Pa., who was programmed

the man and was given in very pleasant greeting as he sat in his appearance. The Bishop did not seem the least suspicious or concerned as to the condition of the weather but was mild and just it was a hot day and did not have his last interview. "Going In Business with a Good Man" was his subject. Text Man 25,28 and 2 Peter 1,5. Bishop Calwell tweets in the mathematical side of his theme and valued the talents mentioned in the text as so much money, making the sermon a practical one. "Before entering, in business with any one," we are proned to look into the capabilities, character, etc. of our prospective partner, and we want to know each other. We must give respect and honor a man or woman who is business like. Now, our subject deals with our going in business with Christ Jesus. The bishop advocates the reading of the Bible for in it we can find anything the science of mathematics, we find that a talent equals 3000 Shekels and a Shkelek is equivalent to 50 cents or 1 share is valued at $1,500 and so the partners who had 5 and 2 talents, respectively, doubled them and when they were called on to report, they were of a smiling and happy contenance, blithe in spirit and the master was well pleased with them. The man who had only one talent buried it, and when he reported, the master was displeased and He ordered that the one be taken from him and given to the man who originally received five talents but had invested them, and doubled their values; and then Gospel Mathematics adds as well as subtracts, they were instructed to add faith, virtue, which means manliness, bravery, knowledge, temperance, patience, which makes us use words according to ethics, brotherly kindness and charity."
When the bishop closed his sermon, the entire congregation were clamoring for more of the religious business sermon. To be in business with Christ Jesus is the greatest achievement in man's career.
Prof. Hannum, instructor of mathematics, of Livingstone College, was among the visitors present.
Four persons joined at the morning service
Prof L. M. Matthews played as morning prelude, "Cantene" (Clausman); Mendelson's 3rd Organ Sonata; "Te deum hadamus" (Mailing) Offertory; Serenade in A flat (Galbraith).

The evening services were effected greatly by the heavy storm, but it did not deter the ambition and real which Rev Jno. A. Matthews, one of our local preachers, manifested in his salient dis-

Bridge St. A. M. E. Church
"It is better, that a man or woman be a one-hundred per cent. slimmer, than to be a little warm, half-hearted Christian," said Dr. Tyrter, during the course of his shouting sermon. He was speaking on topic, "The Heavenly Vision." His shouting sermon was on a three-fold text; Acts 26:19; St. John 4:33 and St. Matthew 7:36.
In dealing with the first text the pastor said that outside of Jesus, St. Paul is the most outstanding character in the Bible, for he was throughgoing, and in his whole heart, soul and mind in his work, no matter what it was. When he persecuted the church he put all of his zeal in it. After his conversion and his heavenly vision, he put all of his ability, power and enthusiasm in advancing the Kingdom of God. He was not like some men and women, who join church as a means to an end—that is they join because of the vivid pictures of the horrors of hell, or the joys of heaven. For these there is no vision. Others enter the service of God with the same zeal as some of the worldly people put into their earthly pursuits. The pastor then told in an eloquent manner of the enthusiasm of baseball fans and others who absorb, and are gripped by these carnal things. The Christian who catches a glimpse of the heavenly vision has the same spirit.
The second text was used as a basis for urging the members of the church to interest themselves in the people who are unchurched; for if we do not do this we are either un-appreciative of God's goodness or are indifferent. The third text was used to stress church loyalty; for the great need of the church is straight-forward, honest preachers of the truth, not only preaching from the pulpit, but also from the pew.
He closed with the thought that it does pay if we are just working to pay a minister and others who are drawing money by virtue of church affiliations. But it does pay if we are working for the best interest of God's church and the serving of mankind.
The following persons joined church: Susie Holmes. 564 Washington avenue, and Dean S. Yarbrough, Y. M. C. A.
"Building Kings and Queens" was the subject of Dr. Tyler in speaking to the junior church. The text was St. Matthew 7 12. He told the young people that there were two rules for building kings and queens, or two rules of conduct of growing kings and queens, our duty to God, and out duty to oman.
The Rev Jesse L. Lundy, evangelist, delivered a helpful sermon in the evening. His text was St. John 3:16. The flowers in the pulpit were in memory of Elijah Davis, given by his wife, Ellen Davis.
The mother of the church will hold a meeting Thursday night, July 22. On August 2 a church conference will be held to elect a lay delegate to electoral college which will be held at Yankers this fall. Dr. R. R. Downs, editor of the A. M. E. Voice of Missions, worshipped with us. A large number of visitors were among the vast throng that was present at the morning services.
"Our Needs and Our Supplies" was the theme from which the Rev Dr W. C. Brown spoke Sunday morning. The pastor spoke on an unusually large congregators. His sermon was forceful and carried convincing evidence of the truth of his subject. Prof. Norvile of Livingstone College worshiped with the pastor and congregation at this service. Holy Communion was administered at the evening service.
The pastor and Sunday school choir served the Rev. M. O. Haynes at the Ralph Avenue A M. E. Zion Church on Thursday evening.

Concord Baptist Church
Rev Verity of the Gave League of America spoke on Sunday morning of the mission of the Gave League. During his message he stated that the question before America now was not rum but whether she should enforce her own laws. The mission of the League is to suppress the liquor traffic, the sale of ganoches and stop commercialized vice. The League is doing a great work. It does not confine itself to the streets but extends home and church to schools, in fact, wherever a need is felt for aid, advice or sympathy. The League is trying to give boys and girls a chance to make men and women of themselves.
Rev. James B. Adams spoke with us in the evening from the text, John 12 34 "The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abdeth forever, and how sayeth the, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? The Jews were disappointed in Christ. They expected an external display, a political kingdom set up which should last forever. In truth, they had the right to expect just that. They have what they considered proof from the Bible for just such a belief. They believed also that when the Messiah came he should tell them all things concerning God. They could not, therefore, understand the Christ of spi-
depicted him alone understood. It was not meet that Christ should establish a temporal kingdom, for the Jews would have become merely a group of formalists in a political atmosphere and thus would have lost all sense of the true mission of the Christ. Christ, however, does abide with us forever. He is the only character in history whose life is effective after twenty centuries. He abides in the hearts of those that know him and whom he knows. He saves thus this blood on Calvary.

Nazarene Cong. Church
The week's celebration of the 53rd anniversary of the founding of the church came to its climax last Sunday. At the morning hour Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor gave the anniversary sermon on the table "A New Church Joe, the New Day." He held that in view of the fact that we live in a progressive age, the church should manifest the same spirit of progress and adapt itself to the changing situation. This would not mean a change of principle, but of method.
In the afternoon the song fest chorus under the direction of Professor R. Alwyne Austin gave a notable recital assisted by Misses A. Lindsay and L. Mason at the organ and plano. Several singers from Philadelphia were in the group.
There were many distinguished visitors in attendance whom were Dr. and Mrs. H. S. Barnwell, Atlanta, Ga.; Y. L. Clipper, Edward Clipper and Anderson Clipper, Summerville, N. J. Prof. Ambrose Calhiver, Nashville, Tenn.

His death thou theosus. A love that did not shrink from death, a love not deterred by a sin, a love that seeks no recompense; only the desire that we give our, little love in return for His great love.

DEMPSEY BOXED GEORGE GODFREY 150 ROUNDS, NEVER ABLE TO HIT HIM
As Sparring Partner to Heavyweight Champion, Godfrey Gained Confidence Which Enabled Him To Beat Renault
Since coming north four or five years ago, George Godfrey's skill as a boxer has made his service much in demand as a trainer and sparring partner for champions and near champions. In 1924 he trained Jack Dempsey for his bout with Tom Gibbons at Shelby, Mont. From news reports during this training period Godfrey oft-times made the champion look like a "ham." On one occasion Godfrey surprised himself by knocking the champion down.
Dempsey was also trained for his bout with Luis Firpo by Godfrey During these two training periods, it was estimated by Jim Dougherty, the pseudo manager of Godfrey, that Godfrey has boxed more than 150 rounds with the champion and in all that time Dempsey was never able to put a glove on him.
The big colored fighters' contact with the champion was an unusual experience in another way—it cured Godfrey of his tumidity of white fighters. Godfrey wiped out the stain of his defeat at the hands of Jack Renault in a return bout in San Francisco, before 20,000 fans on June 15, 1925. Godfrey not only heat Renault in this contest but he did such a thorough job that the Canadian has never been any good since. Renault made such a poor snowing in this bout his name was taken off the card for the Italian Hospital Fund at the Polo Grounds New York, several weeks later.
Although the late receipt for the Godfrey-Renault bout were won over the $10,000 Jack Godfrey received only $1,000. According to Frank Caffrey, who has been recognized as Godfrey's manager by the New York State Athletic Commission, Godfrey never received more than two or three hundred dollars of the $5,000 purse.
Since he colored fighter has been on the Coast, he has earned something like $79,000, yet it is a notorious fact that he has nothing to show that he received any thing like half that amount.
In the past two or three years Godfrey has met all challengers. He has beaten the following fighters: Bill Late, two rounds, Farmer Lodge, two rounds Jack Thompson, two rounds Tom Cowler one round Jack Townsend, one round and Joe White in one round.
Tom Gibbons was offered $30,000 to battle Godfrey on the Pacific Coast following his bout with Dempsep, but declined the offer.
George Moore contract expires on August 10 and he is coming last with the hope of finding someone near his equal willing to fight him. He is now at the same stage Harry Wills was a few years ago when it was so difficult for him to find opponents who mean anything.
Wells refused an offer of $10,000 to meet Godfrey three days ago for the New York American Milk Fund. Norcse was ever given by his manager, Mad. Mulions for the refusal. Maybe it was a matter of money. It so he can at a written make twice that amount by accepting Godfrey's behalf the year he was with the exception of a bout between Wilt and Dupons or Courtesey and Dupons a Godfrey. Well, bout is the biggest attempt on the top horizon at the present time.
Henry Husley all American quarterback among players at colored institutions for the seasons of 1918, 1919 and 1920/has been engaged to coach the varsity eleven at Virginia Union University. Husley played on Union's championship teams of 1918 and 19.
Husley continued his studies in New York University the season of 1921-22 but returned South the next year where he coached the football team at Shaw University. For the last two years he has been director of athletics at Prairie View College, Prairie View, Tex.

Hildale Beats Royal Giants In 13 Innings
Philadelphia, Pa.—A perfect squeeze play engineered by Otto Briggs and Jake Stevens broke up a hectic thirteen inning struggle at Hildale Park when the Darby Dalsies hung up a 5 to 4 win over the Brooklyn Royal Giants on July 17.
Stevens, who was a big cog in the Hildale victory, pried open the unlucky inning "for the Giants" by socking the first pitch that Canonball Dick Redding served up for a line single to center. Campbell promptly sacrificed him to second, then Stevens purloined the third sack clearly and set the stage for Otto Briggs to deliver his bit of strategy.
Stevens was off with the pitch and crossed the pan before Redding could pick up the tantalizing roller. No play was made at first on Briggs and the tap swelled Otto's count of safeties to three for the afternoon's work. This same combination of Briggs and Stevens sparkled on the defense in the visitors half of the thirteenth and prevented plenty of trouble on the part of the Flatbush clubbers. Otto raced all the way to center field to capture Jesse Hubbard's smash that sailed off the bat like a home run clout, while Stevens flung himself till length on the turf to knock down Redding's drive and completed the play by tossing to Warfield in a sitting posture, forcing Cason at second.
However, but for Judy Johnson's home run wallop over the center field fence in the ninth inning, the visitors would have bagged the contest by a 4 to 3 score. With two "Hildale hitters retired" in the ninth inning and the crowd moving toward the exists, Judy Johnson took a toe hold at the plate and sailed one of Connie Rector's stants over the middle barrier tying the score. Bill "Bullet" Campbell, who went the entire route for the Daisies, deserved to win without the efforts of overtime labor.
Errors paved the way for three of the visitors four tallies. Warfield's error in the second staked the Giants to a run and either Robinson or Umpire McKinney was responsible for the Giants two markers in the first, when Warfield started a double play and McKinney ruled that Robinson failed to touch the sack. Smiling Connie Rector pitched effectively for ten innings and was unsteady only in the second inning. Campbell fueled his success in quench form.

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC BY LUCIEN M. WHITE Ballanta-Taylor Returns To Tell U.S. Result Of 2 Years' Research Work In Native Music On West Coast Of Africa
Returning to the United States after nearly two years of research, interest and collecting of native African music, themes in the hinterlands in Sierra Leone, West Coast, Africa, Nicholas G. Ballista (Tapala) a native of Freetown, Sierra Leone, reiterates the assertion he made to have leaving New York for Africa on August 6, 1928 that the American Negro Spiritual and folk song is fundamentally allied to the primitive procluse of the native African.
He gave expression to this opinion after having visited the Tuskegee Institute, the Fort Valley, Ga, High School, and the Peam School, on St. Helen Island, S.C., making two trips to the latter institution, during which time he was given ample opportunities to become familiar with the Negro Spiritual and folk song as handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, without musical notation of any sort.
While still in Sierra Leone, where he had the foundation of his musical of the State of Georgia, became interested and made provision for Ballista's musical impostions were brought to the attention of friends in the United States who became interested in him. He came to America, and after a visit in Boston, reached New York City where he was furnished a scholar for studies at the Damroch Institute of Musical Art, finishing the course in advanced compositio under Dr. Goetschins.
Mr George Foster Peabody, millionaire philanthropist, himself a native of the State of Georgia, became interested and made provision for Ballanta's long expenses during the two years at the Damrosch school, and after his graduation arranged for the southern trip, and the publication of the book results of the trip. And Mr. Peabody also arranged the details for the young musician's research work in West Africa. The results secured as being collated by Mr. Ballanta and will be published as soon as compared.
During with him about his experience during the twenty-two months given to his task in West Africa, he said that he covered some 7,000 miles in his investigations, his furthest point inland being the Nigerian treasury miles from the coast.
A tribal communities visited during this period included Senegal, a Portuguese Guinea, French Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Nigeria. The young explorer into the primitive music world and pregenitors found rough going at times. During some of the adventures he found himself at times unable to secure food to become accustomed and at times had to go hungry more than at another time his footwear became worn beyond regiment and was he away from a convenient source of supply, but his fixtures were also temporarily exhausted so that he could not have purchased
More hardships, now in the background of his experience, are still so much that I have a somewhat depressing effect upon Ballanta's usually merciless temperament, but not to the extent of lessening his enthusiasm or weakening his determination. For almost the first thing he declared was his determination to return to Africa and there continue to a more complete conclusion he has begun and in which he is distinctly a prover. Referring to the people with whom he came in contact in the hinterlands, Ballanta said "The natives of West Africa, as a whole, differ in ways from the Hausas, who are under the influence of Mohammedanism. It is very difficult for any person to enumerate all the tribes that one counts in contact with in West Africa, there are so many of them." As to the relation of the American Negro folk music to that of the native Africans, he said "I found many melodies which are reminiscent of the American Negro Spirituals, and it seemed to me that some of these melodies were brought over here bodily and then sung to different words. Among the Munsis, a pagan tribe in Nigeria, south of the Beume, I found some of the most beautiful melodies in West Africa. The Munsis are pagans and have not come under the influence of western civilization." That the native African has developed musical instruments is another discovery made by Ballanta. Said he: "There are also many instruments among these tribes which are not known in this part of the world." The transcribing or the musical notation of the primitive melodies was a
they could not restrain their curiosity as to his purpose in writing down the sounds contained in their music. They were extremely curious as to what I would put the melodies, and possible for me to take them down." As to this, though, he remained sufficiently long in any one place the natives would some means of writing down their own melodies."
Question as to his willingness to tell the people of this research, both in America and West Africa, and of that there is a direct connection between the music Ballanta modestly agreed that he would accept invasions to religious fraternal and social aggregations merely and properly interested. Such requests may be editor, The New York Age, who will gladly refer them
SPLENDID SINGING OF NEGRO SPIRITUALS WHEN "LOYALTY'S GIFT" IS PRESENTED AT THE SESOUI-CENTENNIAL IN PHILADELPHIA

He has given with splendid effect in various communities, and the Philadelphia presentation was in connection with a new in progress there, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Independence.

theatrical interpretation. It departed from the usual in all

American soil, where they are sold into slavery. Ever upheld and
trauged by Loyalty—personified in maiden form—they go on through

ting the race in its higher aspects of happiness and accomplishment
The musical side of the pageant was emphasized by the Philadelphia
curse, which said that the immense audience was "thrilled" by the song
of significant spirituals.
Continuing the Inquirer's writer said:
"Many musicians have asserted that America's only contribution to musi-
culture, aside from jazz, consists of the Negro Spirituals which have
down from the early days of the slave trade, commonly
used of racial rhythms and the ecstasia amphissa of caffe
messengers. Certainly there is a moment, emotional magic, in these simple songs, when given with the love and feeling shipped by inheritance and persuasion. It was so that they were sung in the prelude pageant, and every moment that would be performed has been immediately dull, and every moment the pregnant anime character and the interest of the mutual in the series of Sequoia musical allure.
"Indeed, it is safe to say that the Spirituals have never been so greatly given here on any previous occasion. They were sung with an element of understanding and eloquence that made technique trivial. It would be as ahead to speak of the technical skill of those voices as it would be to speak of the technical skill of the law of gravitation or the heat and light of the sun. It was instinctive singing, but carefully calculated in its effect and the manner of its presentation. The chorus work was the real feature of the evening, but its eloquence was augmented by Marian Anderson, the young Philadelphia contralto, whose remarkable voice, of great power and richness, was heard in the aria, "O Mio Fernando" from Donizetti's "La Favorita," the selection with which she won the New York Stadium contest among about six hundred contestants, in 1925. Miss Anderson was enthusiastically received and was given an ovation after her number. Also the Fisk Quintet and the Hampton Quartet, with the able instrumental support of Grimell's Concert Band.
"The pageant progressed through eight leisurely scenes, divided into five acts with many delays, after a late start. The scenes were exceedingly simple. They began with an episode termed 'the ruler of the dark race.' Then followed an international array of individuals comprising the restless throng, with 'Loyalty' making her appearance to inspire unity of effort. This was followed in turn by an episode depicting the slaves in the galleys, while with the fifth scene, act three, came the impressive offering of various Spiritualists in the episode of 'Loyalty's Gift.'"
"The pageant was written and directed by Dora Cole Norman. Among those participating were Cornelia Keiser, Edith MacDougal, Ethel Moore, Helen Duckett, John Butler, Harry Scroggins, Richard Moore, T. Spotnus Burwell, William Fuller, R. L. Alexander, Minnie Dorater, Charles Maxwell, Gravelle Hurley, Jenny Squirrel and S. Willie Layton.
Sacred Concert of Negro Music at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church
By ELMIE BENSON BOURKE
A radical signature in program-building marked the musical triumph by Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Choir, Lovenville E.-Died, Oignant-Ginormer, Sunday, July 18 at 8 p.m. in the main auditorium of the church. The evening was entirely devoted to the rendition of sacred music written by colored composers. These selections furnished a wide variety of material, from the solo through the trio and quartet to the full eight-part chorus.
Of the choreos the opening, 'O Holy Lord,' (Dett.), with its repeated minor-cadenced motive, was freely graduated; a variable paean of triumph, P. Rossmond Johnson's "Walk Together, Children" came next; 'By the Waters of Babylon,' (Coleridge-Taylor), that oft-swing wall of the Hebrews, voiced the sorrows of all Israel, under the batten of the choirim; another member by Coleridge-Taylor, the glorious Magnificent in F was given with complete understanding of this most impressive canticle of the Anglican service. Dett.'s "Listen to the Lamb," sung a capella, with no devotion from pitch and a true certitude in attack and shading, ended the program. R. P. DeToro at the piano, Mrs. Elsie, Remon Booth at the organ for these numbers.
"Between the choirs' numbers were placed solos by Burkigh and Dett.; also a trio and quartet by Burkigh. All were well done."
To form a sort of racial cosmos in music, to develop a race interest so often lacking, to interpret lyrically the spirit of a people, as an arm worthy of the highest commentation. This aim is both artistic and educational in scope, and gives the colored composer an incentive to create, once he is assured of an established field, a proper interpretive medium, and an appreciative public. In this ambition, Mr Dyer has made an avid beginning, and he merits the support of those interested in the development of Negro music.

Park Avenue, haunt of New York's smart set, served as a setting for part of a motion picture when Adolphie Menjou and Director Mal St. Clair, filming scenes for "A Social Celebrity," descended at the entrance of the Park Lane Hotel with audio lights and cameras one night last winter. The Paramount Stat, accompanied by Roger Davis and Hugh Huntley, supporting players, drove up to the portals of the hotel and played their pieces for the cameras. In spite of the fact that the mercury hovered unpleasantly close to zero, the film makers were well surrounded by the throngs, be they high or low estate, that the sight of a motion picture camera usually brings.
One of the scenes filmed in the crisp night air was that showing Menjou, in borrowed evening clothes and fur, coat, being propelled by the two other actors toward the home of the society girl with whom he larked, falls in love. He is a small town barber whose grand manners Inspire a pair of convivial New Yorkers to pass him off on their assisting hostess as the "Count Havard de Marin. Menjou is prevailed upon to go through with the deception "just for tonight," but he soon finds himself surrounded by a series of difficult situations from which he emerges with his usual skill and匀vavity.

man as a churchman, Preston C.
Johnson, representing the University
of Pennsylvania; apo., Miss. Lula

The University Day address was delivered by Dr. E. F. Roberts, president of Lincoln University Alumni Association, who said in part: "Education is to prepare you to render better service to God and humanity. Religion is alright but has not been properly applied. Take for instance the white man, when he deals with his own race it is a case of multiplication, but, when he deals with the Negro, it is a case of subtraction. Anybody knows that there is a big difference between subtraction and multiplication. It is a suggestion as to whether or not we are giving the kind of education that will fit us for life. Our best colleges don't measure up to the best white colleges. We need a little tuning up. We are not going to get that toning up until we are willing to pay the price." After the program, remarks were made by Dr. Coleman.
