Now I do not purpose to discuss the matters. But I am sure that the Alumni had striven to congrate sincere with the matter. The board had been ignored and deprived of information as to the board's actions except as it came to them in a different manner days after the matter. Dr Roberts also called the Lincoln University an affair that conferred and that the begin to turn the public to the matters You say that I corralled my friends and supporters on the board and rode rough shod over the minority members in naming Dr Greenway, and then I took steps to forestall criticism by muzzling the members through a gag motion that the matter be kept REPUBLICANS OF 21st CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RECOMMEND NOMINATION OF ATTORNEY EMANUEL HERTZ FOR CONGRESS well known among co- candidate selected is a high standing and he is interested in work in upper Man- brother to the leading england.

This nomination was seconded by Hamilton J. Travis of the 21st A D, by David B Costima, leader of the 19th, and George Young of the 22nd. Mr. Hertz was nominated by Miss Grace Van Namee of the 22nd A D, Leader Valentine J Hahn of the 13th A D, seconded this nomination. One other candidate was presented before the nominations closed. He was William J Campbell of the 21st A D, who was placed in nomination by Mr. Reemer and seconded by Mr. Weisbond to the same district. Made Nomination Unanimous When the vote was taken it was found that Mr Hertz had received the united support of the 22nd and 23rd Districts, and 62 votes from the 13th District, giving him a total of 389 Mr. Hawkins received 147 votes from the 21st A D. Fred R Moore received the full support from the 19th A D. 70 votes, 17 votes from the 13th A D. 12 from the 21st A D. and 2 from the 22nd A D—giving him a total of 102 Mr. Campbell received only 8 votes. After the votes had been tabulated and the results announced, Mr Moore was recognized by the chairman and after thanking those who surprised him by presenting his name he made a motion that the vote for Mr Hertz he made unanimous. This motion was recorded by Mr Hawkins and carried by the vote of the assembled delegates. In making his motion Mr Moore also took occasion to call the convention attention to the constant loyalty of colored Republicans to white candidates and asked that the white votes be as loyal to colored candidates named by the party. Since the choice of Mr Hertz was made unanimous it is unlikely that it will be opposed by the county chairman. His friends say he will accept the nomination. LUMNICE FORTUNE Taxicab Chauffeur who was stabbed to death by Woman when he tried to recover Dog he had given her. Taxicab Driver Is Stabbed To Death By Woman About Dog Anna Webb, 40 years of age, was arrested late Sunday afternoon, July 25, by Detectives Crosby and Bauer-schmidt of the 16th Precinct Police Station for having fatally stabbed Lunnice Fortune, a this District Fence Officer. The altercation occurred in the hallway of the apartment house at 1 West 130th street, where Mrs. Webb lived, and is said to have developed from an argument over the possession of a pet dog. It is alleged the dog was given Mrs. Webb by Fortune but for some reason he decided to take it back. He came for it Sunday. According to the woman's story, Fortune struck her in the mouth with his fist when she refused to give her up and was about to beat her up when she grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed him several times. He was dead before the ambulance arrived from Harlem Hospital. The woman is being held on a charge of homicide. The dead man lived at 60 West 142 street. Suspect Foul Play In Death of Woman Whose Body Was In Backyard Mrs. Agnes Cloud, 36 years of age who lived on the fourth floor of the apartment of the house at 240 West 144th street, was seen laying on the ground in the court in rear of the building by other tenants looking from their windows and they notified the janitor, Luther Poyell, who, on investigation discovered that Mrs. Cloud was dead. The body was clad in a night gown, and was laying on its back, with the head resting on the steps that go up to the first floor level. The roles of her feet were dirt as though she had been walking around the place with her feet bare. The body was discovered about 640 a.m. Monday morning, July 26. A small amount of blood was on the spot where the body has. The husband John Cloud, was summoned, and he came down later from his apartment, fully dressed. Questioned by Powell as to the movements of his wife Cloud said that he had missed her from the bed but did not know where she was. She was last seen about 12 noon. Although the report was circulated that the woman had fallen from the apartment window Powell discredited this as he testified that the body was having some forty feet away from the spot beneath the Clouds apartment window. And besides when the body was examined by Dr. Cooper of the Haven Hospital who was called to the scene no mark of bruise were found which would indicate a fall from the tomb floor which would probably be its feet and would undoubtedly have resulted in broken limbs. The husband John Tond who employed as a second cook by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. stated to make a satisfactory staffement, and was held by Janitor Powell until Detectives West 135th street station arrived on the scene and took ham into custody. The husband is being held in the tomb without bail as material witness pending an investigation which is being made by the District Attorney's office. Adding Machines, Cash and Policy Slips Seized in Big 'Numbers' Mind 4 GIRL CLERKS ARE HELD Headquarters Changed From Place To Place To Avoid Creating Suspicion John Diamond, 43 years old, alleged to be one of the biggest colored "numbers" backers in Harlem, with twelve of his employees, were arrested Monday morning. July 26, by Detective Ryan of the 6th Division. Two adding machines and a large bag of cash, together with several thousand policy slips, were also taken in the raid. Among the employees arrested were the clerks for Mr. Diamond. The raid was made on the apartment of one of these women—Eva Gordon, 29 years old who lives at 60 West 140th street in order to avoid suspicion of neighbors, the "number" banker is alleged to have rotated his office from one runner's home to another. All the prisoners were taken immediately to the 12th District Magistrate's Court where they were given a preliminary hearing and released on bail for a hearing in special sessions. The confiscation on the trips and money collected Monday presented those who played with this banker from collecting even though they were successful in making a hit. Roster of Those Arrested. Those arrested were as follows John Damond, 43, of 246 West 143rd street Mabel Lawrence, 32 of 292 West 147th street Alice Williams, 32 of 167 West 143rd street.

CONKLIN'S WRATH IS STIRRED BY STORY IN 'THE AGE' EXPOSING HIS ATTITUDE AND OPINION ON NEGRO PARTY LEADERS Leader Robert Conklin is wroth because The Age printed the story last week of his attitude toward the policy of Negro leadership in the 21st A. D., in which he was qouted as declaring that while the Negro was accustomed to submitting to white leadership, the whites would not stand for a Negro leader but would disrupt the party in the district if Negro leadership was forced upon them. The legal battle between Dr. Perry W Cheney and Mrs Flam Douglas ended Monday, July 20, when Dr. Cheney paid the judgement amounting to $760.99. Mrs. Douglas sued the physician for the return of $600 which she loaned him last July. A jury in the Seventh District Municipal Court awarded her the full amount with cost C W McDonald, attorney for Dr Cheney, appealed the case but the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court manuously upheld the verdict. A request was then made for permission for a re-bearing or to file another appeal but this was also denied. Assentgyman Abraham Greenthal, attorney for Mrs. Douglas, made a demand for the money last week, which resulted in the payment being made on Monday. Inter-State Tattler And Dr P. W. Cheney Named In $50,000 Suit A Eibel suit for $50,000 was filed in the Supreme Court of New York County this week by Assemblyman Abraham Greenthal as attorney for Mrs. Elaine Douglas against Dr Perry W. Cheney and the editors of the Inter-State Tattler, a weekly publication. The suit came as the result of an alleged interview with Dr Cheney published in the Tattler on June 25. In this interview the plantiff charges, Dr. Cheney made a number of malicious and slanderous statements, which are absolutely false. Andrew A Jackson, editor, Bemme Burler managing editor and Cyril S. Reed, business manager of the Tattler were also named in the town. The son will not come up for trial until fall. CONKLIN'S WRATH IS SIN 'THE AGE' EXPOSIT AND OPINION ON NE Leader Robert Conklin is wied the story last week of his of Negro leadership in the 24 quoted as declaring that while to submitting to white leader stand for a Negro leader but the district if Negro leadershi The statements attributed to Conklin were made at a conference held at the Appomattoe Republican Club rooms on July 19 and Conklin is now charging the club officials with a breach of faith in that it was understood by him that no reporters would be present at the conference. The 21st AD leader made no attempt to deny the accuracy of the Age report but at a meeting of the Natural Convention he put the old steam roller into action and ignored entirely all previous preamble made to party members from the lower Harlem district that they would have a sense in naming candidates committee members and delegates "Steam Roller" Was Working Corkin made no bones about the matter, but boldly asserted that he was looking out for his own interests and fighting to preserve his political control. The men and women from the west coast were present in protest at all but had to be and submit what ever Corkin wanted to hand them, as the steamroller was in time working shape and there was no standing on rubbles' power. At the Senatorial Convention held Wednesday night, July 21, the Corkin forces went through the form of naming Clifford Hawkins, former State Assemblyman as candidate for nomination as State Senator from the 20th Senatorial District. But county commutermen representing the Apo pomattos Club declined to take for Corkin. Former Assemblyman DAVID KING QUICKLY RELEASED FROM CUSTODY ON CHARGE THAT HE HAD KILLED WIFE'S LOVER Grand Jury of Twenty-Four Men Hears Story of A Wife's Infidelity and a Husband's Trust And Refuses To Hold Him For Formal Trial For 26 Years King Had Labored In U. S. Postoffice, Turning All His Money Over To Wife, Who Banked In Her Own Name, and Now He Is Without Financial Resources After what was characterized as one of the most sensational hearings ever held in the District Attorney's office, David King, postal clerk, 102 West 138th street, who had been arrested and charged with the murder of Chester Bagley on Monday evening, July 12, was exonerated when the Grand Jury of 24 men, good and true, sitting behind locked doors, refused to indict him. Immediately after King heard the words that meant relief from a fight in court for life or death, he thanked the twenty-four men who had so graciously spared him. His story, simply told and without effort, had touched his hearers. He told how he had worked hard in the service of the Government and had turned over all his money to his wife. He had never questioned her as to how she spent it. It had been banked in her name. He said that he had not believed the stories which had been brought to him of his wife's infidelity, but that they were coming to him so often that he decided to investigate the truth of them. Accordingly he got excused from his work Monday afternoon and came home. When he reached his door, he found that the Fox Police lock a burlar proof lock bar which the Kings used when they went out was not in use. Then he knew that his wife was home. When he stepped into the house he called and got no answer, so he STIRRED BY STORY USING HIS ATTITUDE NEGRO PARTY LEADERS wroth because The Age print- is attitude toward the policy 21st A.

Then on Thursday night, the 22nd the strap roller tattles were con- tinued when Conk had himself named as state committeeman with Mrs. Richard E. Warner as the state co- mmitteewoman, paying no attention whatever to the wishes of the op- posing tattler which did not favor the name of Mr. Warner. It is declared that colored women of the 21st A D L strongly objected to the placing of Mr. Warner on the State Committee and that it is probable Mrs. Lane Croft will be named in an effort to supplant her in the September Primacy. Fight For Recognition Members of the party attested with the Appointment Club deny and intention to bolt the party, declares that the congressional and senatorial nominations will receive their hearty support. The main point of their dissatisfaction is to be found in the ignorance of their claims to recognition in party connections and to the privilege (Continued on Third Page) went into each of the rooms looking for her Then, when he came to the bedroom, he found the door closed, and when he opened it he saw his wife, Frances, in bed with Bagley. He slammed the door, went to another room, returned with his 32 caliber Iver-Johnson revolver and fired two shots into Bagley's body A Touching Stov Both bullets took effect and Bagley still struggling for his life, ran into the street where he fell down dead. King's arrest followed immediately when he was taken into custody by Detectives Bauerschmidt and Burns of the 10th Precinct. That was the story being told the grand lury and when he had pushed the eyes to the attendants and officers who are used to such scenes were killed with tears. It was the story of a trusting husband and the tasteless wife. The grand lury equally touched by the story refused to return an indictment. Held Under The Sullivan Law As king was leaving the District Attorney's office with his lawyer A Sudarshan Rosenthal 1540 Broadway, he was rearrested by Detective Bauer Schmidt on a charge of having violated the Sultanian Law. Rao was held at 500 and he was freed when lunasin Green paid. It is the general opinion that since king possessed the resulter before the Sultanian Law was passed, and since he had tried to get a permit for his possession he will receive a suspended sentence. At the post office where king is employed, it is said that his fellow workers are taking up a testimonial collection as a token of the high esteem in which he is held. He has been in the service for 20 years and has never had a charge on any kind lodged against him. The P O Department has granted him a thirty day leave so that he can get his affairs straightened out. Boy Seriously Hurt By Fall From Window Larry Raymond Shotwell 3 years old of 10 Wedges ambe avenue fell from the apartment window of his home, Mintas, and was seriously injured. He said that the child was sitting on the window sill and in some way slipped and fell to the ground. He is in a critical condition at the Harlem Hospital where it was found that he was suffering from a fracture of right thigh bruises on the side, and probably internal injuries. Addiction To 'Numbers' Playing a Menace To Race Womanhood, Points Out Correspondent, Who Says Woman So Habited Are Openly Liable To Insulting Proposals That hooch sellers and "numbers" operators are bold to the desperation in their determination to extract every dime possible from the poor credulous men and women who are draining themselves of money needed for life's necessities in their crazy addiction to the drink and gambling habits, is shown by the persistency with which these men open up anew after being closed up by law officers. Once starting instance of this bold displayed through a letter pet. The Age from one of its underlings the operations of a particular emblem. The sight of the card seemed to have the effect of entirely curing the policeman's curiosity, but he took occasion to advise the man in the store that more care should be exercised in the handling of his "num- A Dutchman Reepenz New York, 11, 21, 1920. "Dear S.—Being a constant reader of your paper, wish to inform you that a certain Dutchman you have come in contact with is operating two miles again, one at West 135th street, another at West 135th street, ground floor, after being driven out of Harlem once before. So I thought I would call your attention at once as I know, it will interest you." This matter will (or ought) interest the law officers who were responsible for the closing of this man's hooch joint on 135th street in which the placing of a police officer operated to the confession of this man only temporary is shown by the information contained in the above note, and the attention of local and Federal officials is hereby called to it. Police activity, of a sort, as indicated by the fact that during last week some thirty arrests were made during two or three days. These activities continued on into the current week as witness (the arrest on Monday of John Diamond, "numbers" banker and twelve of his runners and collectors, including four young women who were employed as this). It is the second successful raid on Diamond "numbers" headquarters but the banker seems to have simple resources is the recipient of plenty of "protection" Found Hooch Not "Numbers." A raid on 114 West 135th street, alleged to be operated as a "numbers" headquarters by Levy, the former hooch seller at 103 Lenox avenue, was not altogether barren, as a considerable quantity of alleged alcoholic liquors were found, according to the police, each in 12th place. A similar case with Levy Hyman Kassell together with Moe Immerman and Friedman garrisons, are said to be continuing their efforts to corral all of the "numbers" business. The raid on Diamond—the Negro banker—is said to have some connection in this phase of the matter and similar demonstrations against other Negro bankers and collectors are said to be happening. This it substituted apparently, by report made by a reputed witness to a scapegoat in a Seventh avenue store. A uniformed policeman, on duty, was in the place when a man entered and The evidence to close these Hooch Joints and Speak-Easies is in your office. Why not close them up? started writing a "numbers" slip. The cop asked what he was doing, and in reply was shown a card by the storekeeper on which was emblazoned a particular emblem. The sight of the card seemed to have the effect of entirely during the policeman's curiosity, but his took occasion to advise the man in the store that more care should be exercised in the handling of his "numbers" business. Then the cop walked out and on his way. A Minister Aspect. A more sinister aspect than any heretofore brought out through this violent development is indicated in another letter received by The Age, this new shadow being a danger alleged to be threatening the womanhood of the race through conditions created by this gambling proposition. The Age has called attention at various times to the fact that money needed for rent. The Age has also access to a firm used in a small accessory to pick a victim combination of figures and so enable a picking up of enormous profits at the rate of 600 to one. The letter referred to says New York, July 25, 1926 "Dear Sir—Just a few lines to inform you that if the following conditions continue to exist our womanhood will be at its lowest ebb. The 'numbers' that is causing so much trouble continues to go on with no interference from Police Department. Hundreds of cigar stores have spring up over night to take slips of 'numbers.' Many families have been broken up, the women spending money needed for rent and food qu numbers. The habit is to buy anything and then be approached knowing she is a 'numbers' bug. I can truthfully say that in every house in Harlem one or more apartments are used to collect "numbers" from the whole house, and about 9 45 a.m. a collector calls for slips, takes them to the banker's headquarters, and around 2 o'clock he or she calls for the money. "MANY OF OU RCOLLEGE BOYS AND GIRLS ARE COLLECTORS" "Watch for those with paper bags and small bundes between 9 30 and 10 a.m." An interesting possibility is contained in the suggestion that church goers who are interested should open their eyes on Sunday mornings and nights and take note of the general use of pencils and slips of papers when the preachers announce hymns and texts!

Harrison White, 27 years old, of 632 West 131st street, jumped into the water from the New York dock at the Fort Lee sea, Ferry, West 129th street and was 100 feet from shore-before Patrochan Thomas F. O'Brien, of the West 100th street station, saw him and entered the water. When O'Brien reached White, the latter put up a struggle to keep from being saved. Finally the officer stunned him with a blow on the jaw and towed him to a string piece, where he was pointed at. He was held for examination. White later said his intent was suicidal because his wife would do nothing but dance the Charleston. Attorney J. C. Thomas Appointed Receiver For Big Jewish Firm James C.

Chairman Lord of Lincoln's Trustees Dominic Himmelfarb in Letter To Alumni President Against Charges of Prejudice (Chairman Lord, New York) In the last week who made the announcement that the Board of Trustees will be boarded up, you asked your board to prevent the board from proceeding with referenced to the election of Dr. Green- way. The New Origins Action we allowed. At least one man of your chiefs, according to published accounts, is an avowed but unarmed supporter. It is difficult for Negroes to believe that this brotherhood includes the black man. "Our request for representation on the board was met with the statement that in your opinion it was invoked for Negroes to have a voice in the man- agement of the affairs of Lincoln- University for Negroes. The reply to Now, I understand one. The board is responsible, in both of these matters, for the chairman of the team. I think the board will also. I am sure their position is probably more further, in conversation, at least. If not in advocating before the board, then of the trustees. In saying that the board should be involved in a very few years Lincoln University would be the possessor of an equipment both profitable and material; that would enable her to be administered altogether by the people for whom she was founded. I do not think that with her present poor material equipment he would be able to make any radical change now. I am trying to evade responsibility for anything that I have done. I am not interested, for the sake of the university in having the truth told. You men seem to procure information from unreliable sources. Want An Outside Man. There are among the trustees many, possibly a majority, who feel that Lincoln will be greatly advantaged in having brought to her presidency a strong man from the outside. One who could take the institution and place it before the country in a way that would awaken interest and raise up friends. You know and I know that what Lincoln needs now is a large increase in her permanent funds. Some of this may come from the great Foundations but at least fifty percent of it will have to come from the friend of the trustee. I think the trustee in this time. I think have felt that in the presidency just now we need a man who in addition to being sympathetic to the work of Lincoln, and so the highest ideals of the colored people and in having tact and wisdom sufficient to deal with students and with the faculty upon which reacts the work within the University, must be able to go out and by his personality and gifts of speech make the people see the greatness of this work and the claim it has on their benevolence I am friendly to all the members of the faculty at Lincoln, and notwithstanding the New York Age. I am interested in the highest welfare of your people and have always been associated with those who experience in administering educational institutions. I have not seen very much success follow the election of a member of the faculty to the presidency of that institution. There are many reasons why a president should not have been associated previously with the institution Calla Age A Slanderer. "Now Dr Roberts I have written this that you may have truth with reference to these things. No good can come from misrepresentation, and the slanderous statements of The New York Age with reference to me, and to my many others will in my judgment, work no good for Lincoln. It is of small consideration what may be said about me, but it is of great concern to all of us what shall be done with reference to this institution "Very Cordially Yours "JOHN LAIRD" DR ROBERTS' REPLY "E P Roberls. M. D "E P Roosts. M. D "130 West, 130th Street" New York City, July 21st, 1926. *Reg. John B. Layd* Frankford Avenue and Church Street. "Philadelphia Pa "My dear Dr. Laurd --- "Many thanks for your letter of July 18th concerning the publicity given by the Alumunl Association to the election of Dr. Greenway as president of the Lincoln University. You state that you are "interested for the sake of the University in having the truth told" I want to assure you that in this the Alumunl Association, and I as its president are in hearts accord. In view of this may I briefly call to your attention a few facts What Alumal Has Asked More than a year ago I came to Philadelphia uninvited and sought a conference with you. At that time I attempted to make it clear to you that the Alumni Association wished to cooperate with the board of trustees—that we loved Ineol Imerius and wanted to help promote her best interests in interpreting to you the Alumni ambitions and desire. The Alumni member committee in similar manner committee representing the Alumni Association appeared at their own request before your board making a plea that the man chosen to you be an educator of proven ability and of course necessary a good administrator at the same time possessing the inter verbal attitude that recognizes and practices the Christian principle of the brotherhood of man. One only other request was that he be given the board of trustees. This was made unanimate as the time has long since passed when white men can successfully work or legislate for the Negro without his cooperation and help. Has Ignored The Alums: "You have elected three unites to the Presidency—not one of whom is primarily an educator, and in spite of the fact that assurance was given that representatives of the Alumni would be called in conference before such action was taken we have learned in each case several days after your meetings and in casual manner from outsiders, that your choice had been made and we ignored. At least one man of your choice, according to published accounts, is an avowed knit. Kuzu, sympathizer. It is difficult for Negroes to believe that this brotherhood includes the black man. Our request for representation on the board was met with the statement that in your opinion it was unwisely for Negroes to have a voice in the management of the affairs of Lincoln-University for Negroes. The reply to this occasion has been prepared and consistently accepted and endorsed by the Alumni Association, but with little hope it would be unnecessary to present it to the board—or give it publicity. Denied Greenway's Eliction "To return to the publicity given the recent election of Dr. Greenway. When we heard some seven days after your meeting in the usual indirect manner that information comes to us from you, that Dr. Greenway was your choice, we wired him and Mr. Liberton asking the situation he might expect to face if he accepted. Mr. Liberton, secrected of the board of trustees, immediately truth in the rumor of Dr. Greenway's election. To our telegram asking who was your choice since Dr. Greenway was not, he has not yet replied. Dr. Greenway stated that the presidency has been tendered him, and that he had declined—our communication with Dr. Greenway and Mr. Liberton took place before we made public our information. I think you must agree with me that we tried to get the truth directly from those in position to know it—and that in spite of the difficulty experienced in obtaining facts, and the conflicting statements of the secretary of the board of trustees, and the president elect, the statements given the press were essentially accurate. Alumni Warned Dr. Laird "You will recall my statement to you that unless the situation were wisely handled it would grow to such proportions as to no longer be an affair of the Alumni Association, but the concern of the entire Negro race and the public in general. We regret, as sure you must, that this reached us too early. We shall now turn the attention of the public to the affairs of the University. "We want to assure you that we are not making an effort, as you indirectly suggest, to have the University administered by the people for whom it was founded, nor is this a question of black vs. white. It is a sincere effort on our part to cooperate, and share with the community the benefits of the institution, which is largely sins and does inflicted the lives of the youth of our country. Differ As To Policy. "As to the finances of the University being dependent upon the personality and gifts of speech of the President. I differ somewhat with you. While I consider these qualifications necessary, the financial burden should not be place entirely upon his shoulders, but more largely upon the board of the university. The man with the help of outside friends. With the leadership of the type of man that we advocate for the Presidency this financial responsibility will be assumed by all interested." Since we have not been advised that you have received it, may I again call your attention to the resolution of the Alumni endorsing Professor Walter Wright for the presidency of Icolin University and urge that your Board consider our consideration. "In closing I would again state that we hope for a speedy and amicable adjustment of our present dilemma."

Garland Peng, Cmcminti, Ohio, one of the secretaries for Negro schools and Colleges of the Board of Education, Methodist Episcopal Church, declared that to secure the best and largest results in the education of the Negro, philanthropy should now work through the educated Negro as presidents, teachers and workers. $ The recent movement at Howard University in electing a Negro to the presidency is in the right direction. "We had just as well be truthful about it," said Dr. Penn. It is an economic question. Thousands of Negroes are being educated and are doing graduate work in the summer schools for their degrees. They have no where to work except among their own people. The time has also come, said he, when Negro leaders and people must give of their means for the education of the race and thus supplement white philanthropy. Several thousand white Methodists of Northwest Iowa and South Dakota participated in the conferences. printing IPPED WITH THE printing Plant in Har- are in a position to up-to-date work.

His headquarters are at 302 South Third street, and he has been traveling continually through New England and Central New York, addressing large white audiences. Rotary and other charity interest of the drive, Livingstone was founded 46 years who died of the age of 49 after serving 18 years. His successors have been Dr. Wm. C. Goller, 22 years; Prof. D. C. Slaga, 8 years; and the present incumbent, Prof. Wm. J. Trent. Recently in an address at North Adams, Mass. Dr. Mason delivered an eloquent and impressive message, saying in part: Teachers Are Needed "Livingstone, College for over 40 years has emphasized that all forms of labor, whether mental or physical, are honorable. At the present, we have several hundred schools in the State of North Carolina without teachers, and we are having a larger demand made upon us than we are able to supply. "We are here as a race group, not simply to till the soil or explore the mines or to level the forest, to build houses and to carry on commerce, but we are here for the settlement of great moral questions—hence we are committed to the idea of christian education. Education does for men four things—it imparts instruction, it evolves power, it implants principles and it develops character. The instruction given to men may be the instruction of the parent the teacher or the preacher. The evolution of power is the calling into action all the latent forces of man." "We believe such education is incomplete if not christian. That education which seeks to train simply the body falls far short of doing for man that which ought to be done. Christ said, "I am the truth" Man is a spiritual being, that which is deepest and most Godlike in man is not the intellect or the reason or the imagination or the memory, but it is that power by, which he lays hold on God. We, therefore, command to Negro men and women, Jesus Christ, the greatest model of human character, and manliest of men. Must Train Negro Leaders "With separate schools in the Southland, the necessity for the training of Negro leaders to educate their people must be self-evident in all. The solution, therefore, of the waking Negro problem is to come from within rather than from without. Our relation to and comprehensive knowledge of the Negro fully prepares us for his reform and regeneration by the word and spirit of God. "Livingstone College is without proper funds for new buildings hence the present drive for $250,000. We pressingly need tens of thousands of dollars to meet the present increasing demand and constant calls vainly made upon us for scholarship. Having the most difficult part of the problem to solve, we are, nevertheless, hopeful and appeal to all patriotic citizens to assist us in the uplift in the unfortunate masses and prepare for the larger and better citizenship of to-morrow Ignorance A Danger "For, first, there can be no prolific source of danger to a state than the illiteracy of its citizens. Ignorance invites crime, vice and petty demagogism to become their masters, and, by running them, to assail the foundation upon which rests the very citadel of our liberty. No charity can be better bestowed, than a good education. All progress of the states is dependent upon the better education of its most illiterate classes Second, this nation, now, can only be one people. We cannot have a solid South as against a solid North, and no people of the South can be different From the people of the North There must be one nation, and that AMERICA We are not a German people, nor an Irish people, nor an African people, but an American people No two races can live side by side in this land, one the reproach of the other We cannot be confederated We must be assimilated. All the social, intellectual and constitutional elements crept into our civilization must mingle in a oneness in relation, inseparable "Committed by the Constitution and Declaration of Independence to an equality before the law for all citizens, its missions and ministries are predetermined. This nation is pledged by its right to exist to defend the humbleest citizens and all his rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In the light of these facts, we believe under the guidance of God, a prespect opens up before Afro-Americans unequaled in its attractions and not excelled in mighty possibilities." Thomasville, Ga.-Mrs. Turner Bloe has recently been employed as a public health nurse for the colored people of Thomasville and the surrounding county, and a car has been presented to her to facilitate her work. Her employment was due to the local interracial committee, led by Rev. Robb White.

Adolph Howell, undertaker, of Seventh avenue and 137 street, as candidate for nomination to the State Assembly, and named seven delegates and seven alternates to the Republican State Convention. Members of the Appomattox Club, named by Conklin as delegates to the State and Judiciary Conventions, refused to be satisfied with the profiler, and declined to serve. It is being threatened by the Appomattox group, led by Charles W. E. Mitchell, former associate eader, that a complete ticket for minor local places will be put in the field for the September Primary in the effort to defeat Conklin's arrogation of dictatorship, and to put an end to his ignoring the rights of the Negro voters, who are alleged to cast 60 per cent of the Republican vote in the 21st A. D. The expose in The Age of Conkyn's attitude has stirred comment in all sections of the Harlem community and from all classes of the citizenry. It is reported that several ministers in Harlem pulpits took occasion on Sunday to speak of the sinister aspects contained in such a policy as was enunciated by Conklin, and urged their parishioners to stand firm for a change which will bring the race a share in party leadership and management. Commenda The Asb The Age has received communications approving the exposure and endorsing the effort to rid the community of prejudiced and unfair political leadership Among the letters received is one from Herman S. Whaley, a Democratic, Superintendent, State Department of Labor, and Special Agent, U S F S, with offices at 449 Lenox avenue, who writes as follows "Dear Mr. Moore "Alow me to congratulate you in the way that you featured your article in The New York Age concerning Robert S. Conklin This idea of intimidation that some Caucasians have concerning Negroes should be halted, and I know of no better way than by turning on the white light of publicity and exposing their insidious plans "I am not a Republican, you well know, but I am a Negro, and anything that concerns Negroes is not foreign to me. Negroes everywhere, Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, on otherwise, should resent this insult! I congratulate you again!"

Dr Hill declared that in four fields the Negro has made outstanding contributions to the welfare of the nation in physical labor, in artistic temperament in religious sincerity and in education. The old aristocratics Dr Hill said, have been proved to be worthless and are passing. The only restoratives that is genuine that of character and intellect. Dr Hill was introduced by A. L.

A pretty setting for a home wedding was presented Wednesday, afternoon July 14 when Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Gibson, gave in marriage their daughter, Marietta, to Ramey H. Hamilton of Sterling, Ky. This union came as a culmination of a romance began while the young couple were classmates at Flask University from which they graduated in 1923. The home was tastefully decorated with potted plants and cut flowers. At 1:15, Mira, A. D, Foster, preceding at the piano, played "Love Me Truly" and "Oh Fromise Me,"—immediately followed—the familiar strain of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March." First to appear was the maid of honor, Miss Fannie Gibson, sister of the bride, who led the way to the palm-arched altar in the living room. Then came the bride on the arm of her father, who accompanied her to the altar where they were met by the groom and his best man, E. A. Miller. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. G. Upshaw, former pastor of Washington Chapel, now at Opelika A M. E. Church. The maid of honor wore a becoming dress of green and flowered geogette, with hat to match, and blonde slippers, and carried pink roses and ferns. The bride was attired in a pretty shade of ashes of roses with hat and slippers to match. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses and daisy's tied with tulle. Mrs. Hamilton is a native of Tuskegee, her father having been a member of the Institute staff for more than thirty years. Since her graduation from Fisk Mrs. Hamilton has taught music and academic subjects at the Institute. The couple left for Sterling, Ky., where Mt. Hamilton is in business.

The outbreak of another factional war among the Republicans of the Twenty-first Assembly district is the result of the highhanded methods of the present leader of the district in browbeating the colored district captains in order to perpetuate his leadership. Mr. Conkling asserts that the colored voters prefer a white learedship, and resolutely opposed the appointment of an associate leader, equal in power and responsibility with himself. To avert any such situation as would recognize the colored Republicans on an equal footing, he devised the plan of dual leadership, with the idea of segregating the colored voters, under leaders named by himself and subservient to his wishes. As a preliminary to this plan, he made the empty gesture of supporting ex-Assemblyman Hawkins for the nomination for State Senator, although it was evidently fixed to give the nomination to a white candidate by the votes of other districts. In order to carry out his plans for concentrating all the power in his own hands, Mr. Conkling had selected George W. Harris for the colored leader, despite the opposition of the colored voters, with Mrs. Hortense, Warner as his associate. He strenuously opposed the proposition that the colored voters should be given a chance to name their own representatives, and named those whom he deemed friendly to his personal interests. He took the position that the white voters of the district would not stand for a colored leader, so he must continue to carry the white man's burden The increasing number of colored voters in this district warrant the belief that, if they would concentrate their efforts on a candidate of their own, they could knock Mr. Conkling's pretensions to leadership into a cocked hat. It only requires political courage and organization. When the colored voters can give these qualities to the fight for representation they will get it. Until they reach this point they must put up with the arrogance of such shortsighted leaders as Conkling and those who cooperate with him. The campaign for Assemblyman and State Senator, as well as Congressman, will be put in jeopardy through such insincere political gestures as those made by the Republican district leaders concerned in this deal to refuse representation to colored voters. POLICE INSPECTION WORK The transfer of Police Inspector Day from the oversight of the Harlem district make it appropriate to emphasize the good work he accomplished during his last assignment. He proved himself an active and conscientious supervising official, by his effective way of stiffening up the morale of the police under his control. He was exacting in demands that his subordinates should render good service in protecting the public and suppressing crime to the minimum. He would not stand for the employment of stool pigeons, whose testimonies could be relied upon and who were only instrumental as provocators of crime. Inspector Day encouraged the use of good judgment on the part of the police in dealing with the public, and deprecated the use of any tactics that would reflect upon the ability of the force, either mental or physical. He was successful in getting the best of the men in his district by making the realize the ideals and duties of real police officers. He believed in cooperating with the lawabiding portion of the community in the suppression of all vicious practices tending to demoralize or create nuisance and urged the suppression of gambling through the "numbers game" as well as other infractions of the law. Inspector Day made a most creditable record while in Harlem, which he can be trusted to repeat in the new district to which he is assigned. Such men as he do must to uphold the standards of the New York police force for efficiency and judgment.

The trustees profess to be seeking for a man who is sympathetic with the work of the institution and with the highest ideals of the race for whom it was founded, and who also has sufficient tact and wisdom to deal with students and factility. In addition to this, however, he must have such personality and gifts of speech as to be able to go out and make people, with money see the needs of the work and its claims on their benevolence. In other words, the trustees are seeking a money raiser. The three men whom they elected to the presidency, but who had the wisdom to decline the position, may have had the capacity to raise funds for the university, but in all other respects they were sadly deficient. Not one of them was primarily an educator, and their previous records showed a lack of the qualities that would imbue them with sympathetic interest in the institution or the ideals that it should uphold for the Negro race. The members of the alumni body were utterly ignored in fixing upon the choice of these men, and only learned of the action of the trustees in a casual way from outsiders. Aside from the refusal of the trustees to give the Lincoln Alumni representation on the board, there is a disposition to ignore their advice and wishes in the election of a president. And yet the alumni, as former students of Lincoln, should be able to recognize the qualities necessary in a president, to bring out the best in the students and advance the work of training them for usefulness. The efforts of the alumni to cooperate with the trustees in the choice of a suitable head for Lincoln have been either misinterpreted or repulsed in a spirit of indifference to other than the business side of the office. The trouble with the trustees of Lincoln University is that they seem to place the task of raising money to carry on the work above the interests of the students or the race for whose benefit the institution was designed. Money alone will not make a university, if the students are lacking. The burden of raising money for the work should not be placed entirely upon the president, but should be shared by the board of trustees and the alumni and outside friends of the work. Let the president be a man of the type of Prof. Walter Wright, whom the alumni have endorsed for the post, and a solution of the present difficulties of the situation will be found. DISFRANCHISEMENT MADE EASY. For some reason or other, certain leading Democrats in the South desire to impress the country at large that the Negro is not disfranchised in that section. Not many months ago, many of the governors of Southern States contributed to a symposium prepared under the auspices of a former itinerant evangelist, the Rev. Sam Small and published in the New York World, to show that if Negroes failed to vote in their respective states, it was of their own choice and that no legal bar existed to prevent their use of the ballot. Of course, this was a disingenuous quibble, intended to impress trusting Northerners with the fair dealing and impartial election methods of the South. This propaganda to disabuse the simple Northern Democrats and Republicans too, perhaps, of the idea that the Negroes are not permitted to vote in the South, has been extended in other directions. Frank R. Kent, writing in the Baltimore Sun, is active in disseminating the idea that the Negro is shunning politics and is not anxious to exercise his right to the franchise. But he fails utterly to show the reasons that have brought about such a condition so far as it actually exists. In discussing Mr. Kent's assertions, styled as propaganda pure and simple, being done merely as an excuse for denying the Negro the privilege to vote, the Savannah Tribune sheds some light on the subject. The Tribune is a Negro weekly established in 1875 by the late John H. Deveaux, who was Collector of Customs at Savannah and also at Brunswick, Ga. According to the statements of this Savannah editor, Negroes are not permitted generally to become qualified voters in the South. The methods by which their disfranchisement is accomplished are more subtle and less violent, but nevertheless effective in keeping them from the polls. To begin with in certain localities, it is made extremely difficult for them even to approach the registrars, so as to get their names on the registration lists, the first step toward qualifying as voters. The Tribune continued The registration laws of this section are made applicable to both races, but enforced only up on the Negro. The "grand-father" feature is as rampant as ever. Cases are personally known of fairly educated men who were turned down simply because they could not answer correctly technical questions that even a college lodge would fail to do. In certain counties applicants for registration are sent on a "foo-fur" card from one person to another, or bid to return on certain days only to find that the officer is not present or the place is closed. This is always exasperating to a man who has travel many miles to a small county seat, matters not how persistent he may be. Similar methods are practised in Alabama and other Southern States when Negroes are persistent in their effort to quality as voters. In Birmingham the woman leader of a group who got into the registrar's office and applied for registration, was arrested and put in jail. In one of the counties of Oklahoma, the registrar's flatly refused to enroll Negro applicants as qualified voters, even resisting an order of the United States Court to place their names on the books. In Florida, readers of the daily papers will recall how the peraistence of one fearless Negro in trying to cast his vote in a backwoods precinct brought on a riot by the resentful whites, in which the colored settlement was burned to the ground and many of its residents killed or injured. The original contender for the ballot paid for his perniacity with his life. And yet Southern governors and members of Congress claim that the Negro has equal opportunity to vote in the South and that no law is on the statute books to prevent it. This emphasizes the fact that the suppression of the vote in the South is a lawless act, permitted by the state authorities in defiance of the Constitution and the laws, both Federal and State. It makes the government of the South obligarchical in fact, though it may claim to be democratic in form. And yet inconsistent as it may appear, there are certain favored spots in the South, especially in the larger cities, where Negro citizens are encouraged to vote, when their aid is necessary to carry bond issues or help in a change of city officials. But on other issues disfranchisement is made easy through arbitrary abuse of power by local election officials. A PREACHER OF COMMON SENSE. When several months ago the New York Herald Tribune introduced a new department, known as Dr. Cadman's Daily Council," we were disposed to underrate the necessity or utility of such a column in a newspaper of such a high order of literary excellent. It seemed to us that the class of readers attracted to such a paper would not require the elementary pabulum provided in the new column. This is not to be construed as questioning the value of the function performed through this column, in which questions from the readers of the Herald Tribune are answered by Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, who is president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. It is announced that Dr. Cadman seeks to reply to inquiries that appear to be representative of the trends of thought of the many letters he receives. What attracted our attention in the issue of July 24 was the following naive inquiry from a correspondent at New Orleans: How, when and where did the Negro race originate? Dr. Cadman's answer was as follows. What attracted our attention in the issue of July 24 was the following naive inquiry from a correspondent at New Orleans: "How, when and where did the Negro race originate?" Dr. Cadman's answer was as follows. It originated with the rest of us known as the human race and is blood and bone of that race. The color of the Negro is accounted for by geographic and climatic conditions. Strictly speaking, there is no such creature as a yellow, black or white man. All are alike men, with yellow, black or white skins. The first man, who is said to have been cradled in central Asia, may have been of a redish color. When his tribes multiplied and went their several ways, one type shaded white toward the north and another yellow or black toward the east or south. The real issue is to get a common civilization under these tints and make it co-operative and fraternal. The simple terms used in this reply to a question which betrayed such ignorance of elementary history and local conditions are indicative of the tact and discretion needed to conduct this column. Dr. Cadman did well to emphasize the common humanity of the Negro with the other races of the earth. It is a fact that is frequently ignored or lost sight of in dealing with or referring to members of that race. His defining of the real issue "to get a common civilization under these tints and make it cooperative and fraternal" was comprehensive and probably went over the head of his questioner in this instance. We can see, however, that Dr. Cadman's column may fill a real nee din educating the reading public in certain directions, where their early education was deficient.

In the New York World for July 19, Harry Hansen noted in his literary column, headed "The First Reader," some startling changes which have taken place in the latest edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. The most notable of these changes which are attributed to the effect of the world war, is the recognition for the first time of Negro literature as a separate body of American writing. We quote Mr. Hansen In the New York World for July 19, Harry Hansen noted in his literary column, headed "The First Reader," some startling changes which have taken place in the latest edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. The most notable of these changes which are attributed to the effect of the world war, is the recognition for the first time of Negro literature as a separate body of American writing. We quote Mr. Hansen What the war did to Britain is not half the tale. You should see what's happened to the Encyclopedia Britannica. Here was a stair, respected pillar of Great Britain going to the ends of the earth with the evangel of British scholarship. And what's happened? Looking over the list of doctors of philosophy, masters of arts, Rear Admirals and others who contribute to the three new volumes, my eyes see first of all the name of Henry Louis Mencken, who writes on Americanus. Nor is that all. The section devoted to American literature as apart from English literature, requires a group of experts. Whereas English literature rests lightly on the should In the past years there has been considerable dissatisfaction expressed by American critics of the manner in which British scholars treated of purely American subjects, either because of ignorance of their origin of lighting of the subject. Negro literature simply was not on the map so far as British scholarship was concerned and other information on Negro subjects was missing pr misinforming. The selection of Dr. DuBois and Rene Maran to treat of the subjects assigned them is a new and welcome departure of true scholarship. COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS fight for health is carried on with posters and moving pictures of colored children shown in Minneapolis. It said: Colored children brush their teeth, eat green vegetables, get plenty of sleep and fresh air, and do all the other health chores that the Hempenin County Tuberculosis association approves for children as a means of folling tuberculosis germs—but in this case the children are poster children obtained by the tuberculosis association to tell in pictures the value of health chores to the colored children of Minneapolis. The posters have been pit up on the walls at Phyllis Wheatley House, 808 Bassett Place, in the camp-ign to teach colored children the same lessons in building for health that have been approved for health crusades among school children generally. They strike a pew note, however, in featuring colored children to get the message across to both parents and children of the colored race, and are in harmony with the tuberculosis association's effort to fight disease by training youngsters in health chores. Motion pictures in which colored children "Play the game" for health at prevent-ria are also being shown this summer by the tuberculosis association as a part of the special campaign of education on tuberculosis being made here in an effort to the high death rate from this disease among colored people in Minneapolis. That should prove a most effective THE AGE READERS' FORUM THE AGE READERS' FORUM continuing their journey North. As my duties at that time were such as to take me over the state, I often came in contact with some of these migrants. In conversation with them as to why they didn't keep on going where they first intended to go when they left home, they would invariably reply that they had heard that North Carolina was a good and safe state in which to live, so they decided to try their chances here. Consequently, the result of such decisions, caused the population of the state, according to the census of 1920, to increase more largely than any other Southern state. This new influx of population brought some very good and desirably colored citizens, and on the other hand, some very undesirable ones. Owing to the general diffusion of the proper kind of education in North Carolina criminality among the younger generation of the native colored race is greatly diminishing, and but for the incoming of this bad Negro from the states further South, where he has not been used to human treatment by the whites among whom he lived, Negro criminality would be almost negligible. For three-fifths of the humous and felonious Negro criminality, according to the State law, is due largely to the Negro interment. In the course of time, however, if they don't get in the penitentiary or on the rock pile, they will eventually be made good citizens by reason of their wholesome environments. Over thirty years, North Carolina was regarded by the Negroes of the United States as the paradise of the South but when the Russell administration (1896-1900) a combination of the so-called Republic Populist union got control of the State, it was a direful and unfortunate event for the Negro in this bailout as some of us survivors can tell. The white man became very much embittered against the Negro, as he held him responsible for the mal-administrations of the Republican scalawags and Populists, who held the offices. When the Democrats were returned to power in 1900 they determined to get even with the Negro for aiding these ungrateful political mountaineans in putting them out of power. As a result of it, what the different subsequent democratic legislatures did for the Negro is of pathetic record. But for "Russellism and its concomitant political evils, I do not believe the Negro would have been distranchised and other discriminatory laws enacted against him. However, in the course of time, the hearts of those in power relented and became mellow so that now the Negro is gradually coming into his own, educationally, socially, politically, economically and otherwise.

COMMENTS BY THE AGE ON SAY Looking to the future in education, the Boston Chronicle finds ground for apprehension in the selective policy adopted by leading colleges in the North. It said: With few exceptions the most liberal attitude to racial differences has been shown in the schools of the North. Opportunities for training in most of the schools have been open to all. Frequent rumors of individual cases of discrimination have come to the surface. But in most cases these have been settled satisfactorily in keeping with the policy of the school in question. The Alumni of Harvard however, have given its endowment to President Lowell's new policy for selecting students for the college. This policy shifts the emphasis from pure intellect to racial and other considerations. The effort is to get a new basis of qualification for entrance in which the question of inheritance, historic and personal relationship, etc., will play a large part not only in the individual student's qualifications but also in restricting the size of the various racial groups seeking entrance to Harvard College. It is feared by this editor that the new policy will work to the disadvantage of the Negro in education in the same way that the "Grandfather clause" and the -"reasonable interpretation clause" worked in politics. The St. Paul Echo tells how the THE AGE REAL North Carolina's Economic Advance Editor of The New York Age: North Carolina leads the United States in the matter of economic advance over a period of fifteen years, is the opinion of Secretary of Commerce Hoover, in a recent statement made regarding the great growth of the South. Not only in industrial and economic growth, but in educational and social welfare progress no other State in the South is in sight of her. Twenty-five years ago Georgia was regarded as the Empire State of the South so far as wealth was concerned. But today, according to the census of 1925, the wealth of Georgia is less than four billion that of North Carolina over six billion dollars. While maternal progress is very much desirable, on the other hand the educational and material values are more permanent and more worth while. For instance, North Carolina is spending over $20,000,000 a year for the education of its children, white and colored. Fifteen years ago it was best a little over one million dollars. Today it is spending nearly $500,000 a year on the educating of the little black boy and girl, where fifteen years ago it was spending exactly one million dollars for the education of the Negro in urban and rural communities. In the latter communities at that time, the State was spending only about $350,000 a year for Negro education. No. The Old North State spends more for educating the children of its Negro citizenry than the State of Georgia spends upon the education of both races, according to Benj Davis' statement in the Atlanta Independent not so long ago. Furthermore, North Carolina spends nearly $100,000 annually in Negro social welfare work, the director of which is Lent L. A Oxley of Raleigh, who is well equipped for the task. No other southern state, so far as I am advised, spends money for any such purpose and very little for the whites, for that matter. Another thing of vital importance for which North Carolina is noted, viz. mob law receives very little comfort and encouragement in this particular atmosphere as those who now are serving penitentiary and road sentences in the state because of their thoughtless escapades in the above mentioned direction, can testify. We also have a chief magistrate in the person of Hon Angus W McLean who is determined that every citizen in the commonwealth shall receive justice and fairplay under his administration, regardless of his race and social standing. Moreover another thing not to be minimized, that has enchanced the wet situation of the Negro in this state is the fact that over 99 per cent of its population is of English and Scotch decent, native born, who inherently believe in fairplay and justice No other southern state has such a population, and very few elsewhere. North Carolina, in my opinion, is gradually approaching the standard of education, wealth and social welfare advantages for which Massachusetts is noted. After the world war when the hegira began to set in from the South to the North thousands of Negro immigrants from states farther south dropped in North Carolina instead of events of putting across the issues of hygienic and sanitation, conduct in healthful living. Discussing the "Unused Fraternity in certain favord sections in the city the Sayyahah Tribune Said The plan is generally made the way of us in the South are denied in chise rights. This is no doubt made in which we often get a great extent in this county, a privilege of voting is not denied as many estates encouragement is given to come to the polls. The voting privilege is not being enjoyed a per cent of us. Out of our engagement in the county not less than fifteen thousand men and women should be on the registration list. A peak we have never had more than fif thousand since the present registration has been effective. This peak was reached when the women were granted the franchise and a vigorous campaign made for registration. Since the two thirds of these women have allowed their names to be copied from the list because of failure to pay poll tax, along with a number of others. It is deplorable to think that out of a population of fifty thousand in the county, not more than eight hundred are eligible to vote. The Savannah editor thinks that there should be a great awakening in this direction, and many should be found to agree with him. The Cleveland Herald pointed out a new wrinkle in Ohio politics — the candidacy of Attorney Sully James for the State legislature. It said Jaynes is being supported strongly by Clark county Democrats who openly concede that the race is definitively titled to representation at Columbus. This gesture of friendship from the Democrats must be interpreted as evidence that the party has awakened to the potentiality of the black man's vote and it should be hailed with receptive spirit in Springfield and the State at large. Luckily for the race, the selection of Mr. Jaymes as the suitable candidate is a happy one. He is possessed of the necessary ability and training that would enable him to stand on the Legislature, if elected, in a conspicuous way, and the Herald urges the voters of Clark county not only to nominate him but follow his candidacy to election with unflagging zeal. The Ohio Democrats are evidently profiting by the example set by the Tammany Hall Democracy in Harlem. If the net result will be to increase the racial representation in the legislature, well and good. The editorial philosopher of the Richmond Planet waxed quite cause in his comments on feminine fashions and church building in a recent issue. Among other things, he said. If short shirts had resulted in the reduction in expense, there might be some excuse upon the basis of ecom- omy, but when the skirts went up, so did the expense. The shape of some of these female legs is enough to drive even a cross-eyed man crazy. When you build a church, figure carefully as to how you shall pay for it and do not fail to remember that its operating expenses are very much those of an automobile, constantly on the increase. This rule applies also to the raising of a family. As Editor Mitchell is still a bachelor, we believe, his information as the cost of feminine apparel and of raising a family must be based upon outside information.

CLARK, Editor James A. Farley, chiefman of the New York State Athletic Commission, recently reiterated the position of the Commission in the Dempsey-Willis-Tunney controversy now going on. Mr. Farley told reporters that boxing had prospered in this state and no promoter had been benefited more by this prosperity than Tex Rickard. He infiltrated that Rickard would find himself in serious trouble should he insist on promoting a Dempsey-Tunney bout in defiance of the Commission's orders. Chairman Farley's Statement Mr Farley's complete statement was as follows: "The New York State Athletic Commission is charged by law with regulating boxing in this state in the interests of the public which supports professional boxing. Its primary interest is not in the enrichment of boxers, managers or promoters, however much it may wish them well personally." "Since it is the object of every boxer to win a championship and of every promoter to stage championship contests it is obvious that regulatory powers must be exercised over champions and championships. Otherwise the commission will fail of its purpose. To this end the rules of the commission, which are made law by statute, provide in Section VIII that "A boxer holding a championship must defend the same within a period of six months after winning or defending the title in a bona fide bout to a decision" "In support of this regulation the commission has frequently commanded champions in this state because of failure to comply with the rule. Mukley Walker was so disciplined until he met Dave Shade, Charlie (Phi.) Rosenberg is under suspension now because he will not sign with Bushy Graham; Johnny Dundee relinquished his title rather than accept the challenge of Louis (Kid) Kaplan; Harry Greb loug't Tiger Flewers at the commission's order and lost his title; Joe Lynch a local and popular champion, was set down for failure to meet Abe Goldstein. These were typical cases in championship dives other than the heavyweight and the commission's rulings were supported by press and public in these instances. It was recognized that dives on having gained a valuable position their rules would not risk against an outstanding contenders if the boxer not forced to. Yet it is entrusted with a championship tasked with the issue in double that the boxing public most wishes to see. Willis Regarded as Contender There is no reason to my mind, why the heavyweight division should be a law unto itself, although it is perfectly understandable that promoters and boxers may think so, because a heavyweight championship contest usually attracts an enormous gate. "There may be some dispute—and there usually is—as to who is the outstanding contender. The commission is the agent deputized by law to select such a contender from the group of second-string boxers aiming at a championship. One has to be selected, and having made the selection, the commission must abide by it unless it is proved manifestly wrong. Having elected Harry Willis as the logical heavyweight contender more than two years ago and having stated its selection on the several minutes of the meetings of this body, it is my contention that the commission has no reason for changing this stand. If the commission is to permit the monarch and changing interests of boycott and promoters to alter its rules its control of boxing in this state soon will end and houts will be arranged with the idea of making championship perpetual rather than titles which the public has a right to see contested for every month, if a logical contender is sight. We cannot make one rule for fly weights and another one for heavyweights. We cannot favor one champion against another even if he is a greater drawing card. Dempsey Must Abide by Rules Hudger Lands, found it necessary to discipline Babe. Ruth the greatest drawing card in baseball in order to uphold his authority. In the long run that ruling worked for the best interests of baseball. So long as lack Dempsev refuses to abide by the ratings of this commission he is under suspension in this state. What he may do elsewhere is of no legal concern to its members. We are authorized to regulate boxing in New York and not in the entire United States. "However, under the present law boxing has prospered more in New York than elsewhere and none has profited to any greater extent under the commission's rule than Tex Rickard and Jack Dempsey. It is the intention of this commission to hold its regulatory powers, which made boxing prosperous and so to continue that the public may enjoy well contested buits without being subjected to the old-time hoaxes of champions appearing against men who had not a chance in the world of winning." Lincoln Giants Sign Up Scales, Shortstop, and Porto Rican Outfielder Lincoln Giants Sign Up Scales, Shortstop, and Porto Rican Outfielder The lineup of the Lincoln Grants have been strengthened the past week by the addition of George Scales, shortatop, and S. Nester, a Porto Rican outfielder who was the sensation last year. Nester arrived in New York Tuesday, July 20, and painted the Juncolas immediately Scales was re- sent with the Newark Stars. Jack McVey And W. Langford Fight Ten Rounds To A Draw Jack McVey, Harlan welterweight, former welterweight champion of the New York National Guard, was awarded a draw with Wolcott Langford of Chicago in one of the main bouts of the Ryan-Taylor contest at the White-Sox ball park Saturday, July 24. Langford led in the early rounds but was unable to stave off McVey's fast finish. McVey staggered Langford in the ninth round with a left hook and in the final session nearly upset Wolcott with a right cross. Jack had a clear advantage in these rounds and his finish was undoubtedly responsible for draw decision of Referee Joe Hess. Langford scaled 156 pounds and McVey 150 From a financial point of view the fight was not the success expected. Less than 8,000 fans were present although columns and columns of publicity had been given the fight by the newspapers. The promoters were hoping for a record crowd in order to demonstrate to Tex Rickard the popularity of boxing in Chicago. Rickard is said to have left the park before the show ended more dubious than ever about Chicago being the place to hold a championship contest. Lincoln Giants Win One and Lose One In Sunday Doubleheader Lincoln Giants Win One and Lose One In Sunday Doubleheader The Lincoln Giants broke even in a double header at the Cathole Protectory Oval Sunday, July 25. In the first game they defeated the White Plains' nine by a score of 9-6 but in the second contest they were beaten by the Bronx Giants, 7-3. Joe Quinn, the Bronx Giants' pitching ace, was in rare good form and held the Lincoln to four scattered hits in eight inings. In the ninth he weaned and allowed three hits. George Scales and "Pop" Lloyd were the only Lincolnites who were able to make more than a single hit. Lloyd and Scales made two each The rst game was featured by a home run clot by Nestor, the new left fielder for the Lincoln. Nestor hit the ball over the trees back of centerfield. Haines and Nutall were on the mound for the Lincoln for the first game and Nutall and Chambers pitched the second Tuskegee Eleven To Open Season On September 25 Tuskegee Institute Ala. -The most ambitious football schedule ever attempted by a Tuskegee football team has been arranged for the coming season. "The first game will be played against the 24th Infantry队 at Fort Benning, Ga on September 25. In addition to games with the leading institutions of the South, an inter sectional game has been arranged against Lincoln University. This game will be played at the Sesquicentennial Exposition Stadium in Philadelphia, on October 29. Coach Steve L. Abbott who has piloted the Tuskegee team since 1923 will again head the coaching staff. He will be assisted by John Brown, assistant in charge of the line, and T. C. Meyers, in charge of the backfield. George W. Goodwin, one of Tuskegee's greatest halfbacks, and James E. Fields, former varsity tackle at Wutherforce University, will have charge of the reserve maternal Coach Abbott writes that the cut look for another championship team is very bright The Rainmaker, featuring Fess Lorenz, William Collier, and Georgia Hate will be the feature attraction at the M and S Roscoevelt Theater for Sunday and Monday August 1 and 2. Tom Wilson, who won a wide reputation as a delinquencer of Negro character, also has one of the principal roles in this picture. He is "chocolate," the valet attendant, trainer and buddy of Young, Collier, the hero of the picture. Conway Fearle, in "The Sporting Lover with Barbara Redford comes to the Renaissance Theatre Thursday and Friday July 29th. The story is all that the name implies and the picturization of it is one of the most exciting ever shown on the screen. A thrilling house race fighting, good fellowship and love all closely combined make. The Sporting Lover a picture that all who see will enjoy. Over week end Saturday July 11 and Sunday and Monday August 1-2, at the Renaissance Theatre the attraction will be, The Reckless Lady" with an all star cast that includes Belle Bennett James, Kirkwood, Ben Lyson, Iwol Sherman, Iow Morgen and Charge Murray Her again we have a story that is all that the name implies. The picture portrays life, such as the reckless are wont to deliver in and the moral is a deep meaning one that all who see "The Reckless Lady" will forever remember. Championship Contest Now Scheduled For Yankee Stadium September 16.—Wills May Fight Godfrey In Semi-final Despite the insistence of Chairman James A. Farley of the New York State Athletic Commission that Harry Wills was the logical contender for a fight with Jack Dempsey and that no one would be permitted to fight Dempsey before Wills, the Commission, on Tuesday, voted to permit a Tunney-Dempsey bout at the Yankee Stadium on September 16. Commissioner George E. Brower, who had formerly stood by Chairman Farley, suddenly changed his mind and invited Ted Rickard to make another request of the Commission that the bout be staged in New York. His representative, Jess McMahon, appeared at the Commission meeting Tuesday and made the request. A vote was taken and this time Mr. Brower stood with William Muldoon favoring the contest. This action of the Commission may be needed by the refusal of the License Commission to grant a license to Jack Dempsey, but it is expected a legal battle will follow if this is done. Harry Wills, who for the past five or six years has been on Dempsey's trail, is again left out in the cold. Will's manager is now in Chicago where he is trying to make promoters in that city go through with an agreement to stage a Dempsey-Wills host. The general opinion is that he is waging a hopeless battle. However, The Age has it from an authoritative source that Wills can fight on the bill with Dempsey if he wants to. As soon as Paddy Mullins returns from the Windy City, he will be invited to talk over the supporting bill for the Dempsey-Tunney contest with Jess MsMahon. MsMahon will offer to put Wills on in the semi-final, preferably with George Godfrey. If Wills retains this offer, it is unlikely that he will fight this summer. Harlem fight fans feel that Wills has not been treated fairly in the matter or a Dempsey-Wills match but that it would be foolish for him to continue this. Through fighting he can keep in the limelight and may get the opportunity to fight Gene Turney when he becomes champion The Royal Gants were victorious in a twelve innning pitcher's battle Sunday July 25, against the Deberty Silk Sox. Flourmoy and Durham were the opposing pitchers with the colored pitcher allowing six hits to 3 by his opponent. FIRST GAME Doherty S.

Lee outpointed and outboxed his adversary throughout the three rounds in much the same manner as he did last Wednesday night at the Holy Name Society's boxing carnival held in the same arena. Lee had his right to the face working in fine form and landed it almost at will. Lincolns, Royals and Cuban Stars Bury the Hatchet and Will Meet Lincolns, Royals and Cuban Stars Bury the Hatchet and Will Meet The differences which have kept the Lincoln Giants, Royal Giants and Cuban Stars from playing each other this season, although they are in the same league, were ironed out at a meeting of the Commissioners of the Eastern Colored League in Philadelphia on Wednesday. A series of games among these three teams will begin within the next two weeks. Baseball fans are much interested in the coming Cuban Star-Lincoln Giants series. The Cubans are leading the League, but many fans believe the Lincolns can defeat them. The fight for supremacy between these two teams will be the hottest of the season. A crowd of more than 2000 amusement seekers attended the opening of the Chinese kitchen of the Sasoy ballroom on Friday evening, July 23. This witnessed a most excellent dance and program and enjoyed dancing and the chop suey and other Chinese dishes served. A Chinese aerobatic art was the feature of the program and many declared it to be the best thing of its kind they had seen. The addition of the Chinese kitchen to the Sasoy makes it one of the finest dining rooms in Harlem, as well as the biggest and best dance hall in the section of the city. Electric fans and other cooling devices make the Sasoy a desirable place for recreation during the summer months as well as in winter. Twenty newsboys wanted to sell The New York Age. Good opportunity. Call at The Age office—230 West 135th Street—Thursday or Friday morning. Cleo Charity, manager of the Renaissance Theatre and Lee Whipper, manager of the Orpheum Theatre of Newark, were the guest of David Statman, owner of the film, "A Prince Of His Race," at a showing of the picture at the Royal Theatre in Philadelphia last Friday. This picture is adopted from a story by Roy Calnek and the cast is composed entirely of colored actors and actresses. Harry Foster, a London agent, has booked Florence Mills and her company, now playing at the Champa Elysées Paris, France, with Charles B. Cockran of London, England, opening on or about September 7. One of the French critics, who has seen her seven times, said she is the "Colored Duse," and if she was given a role in a play she would startle Paris. The Chocolate Kiddies, a colored revue that went to Germany over a year ago, featuring Greenlee and Drayton, and Sam Wooding's Orchestra, is reported stranded in Dansig, Germany, and Greenlee and Drayton have been working in London at the Holborn Empire.

Irvan C Miller's Liza Co is at the Lafayette Theatre, New York City "The Volga Boatman" At Douglass Theatre Given but five minutes to live, alone with the man who has been commissioned to kill her, a beautifully gowned Russian aristocrat looks wildly around a gorgeous room, desecrated by plundering revolutionists. This is one of the central situations of Coel DeMille's production, "The Volga Boatman," which comes to the M and S Douglas Theatre for three days, beginning Saturday, July 11. William Blood is the crude Volga Boatman servant turned master and leader of revolutionists. Elinor Fair, DeMille's newest "find," is the girl. What transpires in that room, how the unusual situation is built to a climax, provides the high spots in the strongly verile love story that has been structured against one of the most grippingly dramatic backgrounds of current history. Previous to this dramatic climax, DeMille provides pictorial views of the Volga with huge boats drawn by human mules and striking pictures of the contrast of wealth and poverty before the overthrow. The two strange lovers are carried through an amazing series of adventures before the story is brought to a conclusion. The Farmers' Baseball team of Broxburn performed an unusual feat in baseball circles Sunday when they held the strong Hilldale Club scoreless for eightteen innings. The Darby tea was given a double shutout by scores of 2-0 and 7-0. The two games were also record-breaking, in another direction, having been played in two hours and thirty minutes of actual playing time. In the first game Campbell and Wiley were the opposing pitchers. Campbell allowed eight hits while only one was charged against Wiley. Hilldale used both Lee and Ryan in the second game in an effort to win. See who pitched for the Farmers, held the Hilldale batters to five hits.

Musx Federation Stops Ethel Waters' Band From Working In Washington ATION D) (—The Howard which has been having its drums for the past seven morning darkness Thursday 22 on account of a strike deterred Mussier's Union, of the Federal Water Company, Monday night the 19th, covered breaking audits hated by the strike, all because the New company accompanying Ethet rection, played at this theatre where the house orchestra is non-union, through Frank Weber, Union head, at the suggestion of Sylvester Thomas, a musician. When E. B. Sanders, the manager, attempted to put on the show with the house orchestra, Weber was delighted, found that no music was available, as the New York Orchestra played without orchestra. Colored musicians playing with the house orchestra have been placed in an embarrassing position. The Union is assisting the same wages for the Howard players as paid on the Keith Cirkland which if conceded, will necessitate doubling admission prices. This will close the theatre and throw colored musicians out of the result of this trouble and the failure of Ethel Waters to continue her show, for the remainder of the week, a suit has been filed against the Ethel Waters Revue in the sum of $2000 for breach of contract.

Bradhurst 6033 Lose and Gain "Laugh and grow fair" All right for the young man, but after thirty, watch your weight and keep it about the average for age thirty. Perhaps you don't believe that weight has much to do with health. The death rate is 3 per cent higher in a group of men, aged 47 years who were 10 pounds above average weight than among a group of men of the same age and average weight. As the weight goes up above average so does the death rate. For extreme overweight the diet and exercise should be arranged by your own physician. Regulation of both of these are important in reducing, but ill-advised methods may, prove dangerous. As a general rule the overweight should be given a balanced diet in fats, sweets and sugars. Fet meats and fish; salmon, lobster, crabs, sardines, herring, mackerel pork and goose; white bread, rice and potatoes, nuts, better, cream oil, pastry and sweets. Burn alcohol in a lump and not in the human body. Perhaps the fat person does not like that long list of "don't," which is pretty heavy on the butcher and fishman. But in warm weather what could go better than lettuce, tomatoes, celery, brown bread, lean meat, small baked potato, carrots, spinach and fruits? Sounds like a good diet for hot weather—and very good for education. Valuable stuff and茎 are good forms of exercise for the stont person. When you take off a little extra weight by that exercise go off the spring board for a good swim. When the fat man loses weight he gains in strength. Pep-up and enjoy the summer. What Shall We Do? Editor of The New York Age. I have finished looking at the many pictures of our fine looking young man and women graduates from various colleges which appear in The Crisis for August. We feel proud of these future representatives of the race. But since the U. S. Government departments have shut the doors in the faces of those competent young folks—some offering them a broom and mop—the sad thought comes to us: What are they going to do to make themselves felt in this great wide world? All of them cannot get schools to teach, and most of the pupils are filled with jackets. But there is a door that stands ajar for these boys and girls, a door whose keys are in the hands of these Negro preachers. Now, what we want, in order to get along and be something along with other people in this country, is to get together and "open up stores" where we can buy and sell like other races of peoples. We can do this, and ought to do it, as well as the Jews, the Greeks, the Italians and the Americans white folks. There is no law against Negroes having stores where they can employ men and women and own cars. We have insulted and discriminated against long enough to think about getting together and be something worthwhile. Our preachers are very much to blame for our failure to be united along business lines. They lead the people along the line of building too many churches, but the people should cease churches. We must have churches, but the people should cease to be used as Sunday slaves forever in never ceasing "Grand Rallies" to build churches whose cost is arranged so as to keep on paying on them until along about the eve of the end of the world. Our Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to seek and save saints. But the most of our preachers are in the business to seek perpetual rest, and to gather in dollars. We have the greatest respect for the ministry, but experience has taught us that few of them have been directly called to that work. They seem to be too much for selfishism. They should teach their people to tr to get homes of their own, and the should stay trying to get the people ever fixed on the Cross while they (the good preachers) run their hands in the members pockets. The preachers should thunder it from the pulpits; our people to build less costly churches and secret lodges, and start our own and spend our money among ourselves instead of giving it to Jews, who will grin not smile at you until they get on their feet. And when they get up a bit they too will commence to talk about 'de jiggers' being tools. Our graduates, with heads full of book learning sea with all of their degrees will never amount to much until they get to where they can show the other fellows that they can compete with them in business as well as in the class rooms. The Negro is a giant aisle—and may God help him to awake from his sleeping lethargy. The truth is the light and I have said and I repeat that as we as a race spend too much money building fine churches. We should have decent churches in which to worship God but when there comes a preacher that can't be satisfied with a church that cost less than a quarter or a half million dollars with the latest make of automobile thrown in as a gift for good measure the poor members of that church should order him to take up his bed and NAMM. Washington D.C. CUNNINGHAM Ridge, Md. Ridge Md -Victor H Daniel, principal of The Cardinal Gibbons Institute, is away from the school for a few days in its interest. He will visit Harrisburg, Pa. Altoona, Pa. and Buffalo, N Y. He has arranged to have a lantern slide show of the development of the Institute, as each of the places visited.

First Class Rooms and Board by The Day or Week Write or Phone for Reservations Of the History and Natural Resources of Liberia in a Book written by One Who Spent Years in that country "LIBERIA AND HER PEOPLE" By Henry F. Downing, Late U. S. Consul St. Paul de Londa, West Africa On Sale at the New York Age Office 230 WEST 131ST STREET NEW YORK CITY The Funnest Book on Earth, Over Two Hundred Stories, After-Dinner Masterpieces, so runs the advertisement. It has one of the best selections of short stories that has ever been published about the Negro, the Jew and the Irish. Some of the stories have been told before but they can stand repetitively. They are told in Mr. Pickens' own diminishable way. In the preface the author gives six opinions on humor in speech-making. Humans, the tell us, say to a good lecturer, what proper teaching is to good; fool us the nutturent itself but its best vehicle, sking it more acceptable, palatable, and causing it to go down more easily. Real humor is always the shadow or essence of more serious moods, as a shadow is the tone of a cloud. It is a shadow listener who remembers only that the lecturer told a funny story. He explains that a funny story is not simply a funny story. It relieves the strain of the serious debate, and it also makes cleverer the point that the lecturer is trying to drive home. The Negro preacher is very much in evidence in this book. The two longest and most interesting tales that the book contains concern Negro preachers, the one standing in the Sittima Chapel in front of Michael Angelos's "Last Judg- Arch-bishop George Alexander McGuire of the African Orthodox Church and Mrs. McGuire left New York this week for a three weeks' vacation in Bermuda.

Without the aid of the piss it dary very well, but when I showed there, I contemplated the missing parts of the earth had to lay in my heart: ‘Well there is an amputee. And the other preacher, explained volcanic eruption to the Niggers of Cooney with an imagination that a scientist might envy. ‘In de beginn de Lord made de earth round.

Taught — The Trade of No Regrets BARKER BEAUTY SHOPPE STREET BRADHURST 0678 Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower James Amos, who served President Theodore Roosevelt during his seven years in the White House as butler, valet and headman, and later at his home at Oyster Bay until his death, has begun an interesting series of articles in Collier's Weekly, dealing with a side of Roosevelt's life about which little has been written. Mr Amos is a native of Washington, D. C., and entered the President's service shortly after he graduated from the high school. He was alone with the late President when he died and in a later article tells the details of Roosevelt's death. His first article is as follows: the house in the small dining-room of the children had their meals. He had been President but a few months. The wife was surrounded by his hard- working children. He had come in to Roosevelt. He was young, he loves music and high spirits. He was central figure of the nation. The wife group was a joyous one, and the son was full of laughter and high spirits. At the time I saw him was at Oyate Bar, sat in a room alone with the watching him as he slept. In that time he the first hour of the dawn. I woke up. The finest memory I had in the last few days of his life was cruelly tormented by grief and wanted someone to attend him, and to me. When Mr. Roosevelt became President my father was a pollinator in Washington. He had what was called the chain gang and for some time had worked these prisoners in Rock Creek Park building roads. The new president as everyone knows was a great herman and one of his favorite rides was through Rock Creek Park. Thus my father saw him almost daily. The President got to know him and always mapped to chat with him. One day my father told the President he had a son who was looking for a job and that he hoped there might be an opening in the White House. Mr. Roosevelt told him to send the boy to White House steward. A Job In The White House was the boy. I was not long out of high school and the thought of working for the President of the United States frightened me a little. But I went to see the steward and was given a place. The boy seemed simple enough. But soon learned it was not so simple and the steward had fallen at it. It was a care of the Roosevelt children. Mr. Alba was away at school, and Tel and Kermit, the oldest of them, But Quentin and Erik and I was home—and very much at home. He given finer children than Roosevelt and girls. They had father and their mother. He was to care for the smalls. They did not the President and his wife occasions. Mr Roose-ha had guests for dinner, and the guests and their own dining-rooms could enjoy their I had been in the three weeks before I he was the midst of their war and the commanded and Mrs. Roose- tell was commanded by the President. He was his easy, hearty, mature. Before he left he was Mrs. Roosevelt. He was have James in our room. He can help up there get the things with the kiddies." He was arranged that I was the great dining-room. Thus he was for the next seven present at many im- pressions and many historic took place around the Mr. Roosevelt en- tire and policemen, states- mate prize fighters and The Roosevelt Thirst M.

Thus Mr. Rohe- dust up. Thus he abstained wining and at the same time armed embarking his host. The Roosevelt Annexe Now, about Mr. Roosevelt's eating. This is of especial interest because it reveals a side of Mr. Roosevelt about which very few people know anything. He has always been pictured as an executable, irresponsible, ripostering, self-willed sort of man riding sought over everybody. He has been pictured with a big stick and as a Rough Rider firing off revolvers with both hands and showing his teeth on all occasions. Now, the truth is that in his private life Mr. Roosevelt was a very peace-loving and gentle-mannered man. And at the table he was as obedient as a child. He was a man of great strength, and he did his day's work in a strenuous manner. He ate a light breakfast and a very light lunch. At dinner, though, he was always very hungry and enjoyed his meals immensely. But there were many things he could not eat—red meats for one meal—because they did not agree with him. At home Mrs. Roosevelt supervised this. But when ever he was away—which was often—was sent along to book out for him. Often he would sit with his family and turn to use a boy with a look in his eye which plainly asked for more. I would understand without his asking. So I would whisper to him: "No more now, Mr. Roosevelt." Habitually Pleasant This gentleness of Mr. Roosevelt to those about him is little known. And there were two other qualities he had, just as little understood. One was his good humor. The pictures which were the favorites in the newspapers always showed him making speeches with a particularly savage expression. Stories cold of him, too, have tended to create the impression that he was always bawling at people—forever jumping on someone. Nothing could be further from the truth. Mr. Roosevelt was habitually in a pleasant frame of mind. It was really very difficult to irritate him. The little things which哪 others so much never seemed to ruffle him. He could get very much excited. But if you knew him you could easily see he was not angry, but really enjoying himself. I have seen him angry a few times—and his anger was a thing to behold. But it was extremely rare. Trusted His Friends The other trait to which I refer was was always the last one to lose his lasting trust in his friends. Heidence in any friend who deserved him. And he disliked exceedingly any disparaging remarks about his friends. Mrs. Roosevelt was more discerning about men than her husband. He was far too trusting. One day the name of Harry Stilton was mentioned. I suppose my countenance betrayed some criticism of him. For the President asked me why I made a face. "I don't like that man. Mr. Roose- "I don't like that man, Mr. Roosevelt." I rebelled. "Well, what's the matter with him?" asked Mr Roosevelt. "I just don't think he's a real friend of yours. He'll turn on you yet." "What in the world makes you say that?" he asked. "Oh. I just don't like this face." Mr. Rozenberg who was listening to this conversation, luke-in: "James is right, Theodore I feel the same way about it." "Why, Why do you distrust him?" "Well, I can give no reason I just don't like his face." "Oh! Edie darling, please don't say that Don't like his face! That's a great reason to give You're wrong. I'll stake my life on that man." The time came when the President changed his mind. "At it took a long time. The passion of Mr. Rosevelt's life was his love for his family. When I came to know the family, the President and be married for many years. Yet gentle and affectionate and attentive to his wife as a young lover I am not speaking of his public attention. I mean at home in the privacy of their own room." Their house was a cold fashioned home. They occupied the same room even in the White House. I have heard them talking together and discussing various subjects hundreds of times. Mrs. Roosevelt was and is a woman of independent mind fully able to form and support her own opinions. She was not always of the same opinion as her husband. "But they would have their discussions in perfect good humor. I never heard Mr. or Mr. Roosevelt utter an impatient word to each other. He Didn't Need To Swear. The two occasions when I saw Mr. Roosevelt, get angry were once with Senator Joseph Porker and once with Samuel Gompers. In the former case the "Freddie" was around; over the famous Brownville raid, and I think I can add at least two hitherto unfold details to that incident. "It will be remembered that a detachment of colored troops in Texas at Fort Brown, just outside of Brownsville, angsted at -some indignities heaped on them by the people of the town, raged a midnight raid on the town, shooting up houses, wounding several persons, and killing one. The theory was that about two dozen troopers had secretly scaled the walls of the town and after their escape had stolen back home. The attack was never proved, but the President was able to establish that they belonged to three companies, and these he disbanded, dismissing the members without honorable discharges. This action created a storm of anger protests among colored people, North and South, and among Northern white people as well—particularly those who were fond of lashing colored voters into fury for political purposes. Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio was always strongly against the President, though he was a Republican leader, And Mr. Roosevelt never trusted him. Moreover, Senator Foraker, was a good deal of a war horse, was always poising as the special friend of the colored voters, and he immediately seized on this Brownville incident to attack the President. He made speeches in the Senate and elsewhere, to some of which the President replied. So far as the world at large saw, the bombardment was going on at long distance. But this must be said for Senator Foraker. He was a fighter, and he came up to the White House to beoard Mr. Roosevelt right in his den. He was in a high temper, and he spoke his mind very freely. But, oh, what a scorching he got. The Brownsville Case Mr. Roosevelt listened for a little white and then cut loose. You know Mr. Roosevelt never used profanity. He didn't have to. He had a way of expressing himself—I suppose it was the way he said things—which was more crushing and sounded more devastating than if he had let loose a whole blast of cusswords. For instance, he could say a thing was awful in such a way that it was more affecting than if he had deluged it with profanity. At that time I remember most of the big Republican leaders came to him and warned him about the danger of his action. He told them all the same thing—that all they seemed to be thinking about was "the colored voters" and no the honor and usefulness of the army and that he knew he was right and didn't care if he lost all the votes the nation. And the President did really know he was right and for a reason who I do not think has been told before. The principal proof against the colored troopers was that bullets found in hour walls were those which corresponded with the guns carried by these soldiers. But the President had better proof, although Senator Foraker always maintained the soldiers were innocent. Through an army officer—I think it was Lieutenant Fortesque, a relative—the President got some of the accused troopers to call at the White House. They tried to hold out at first, but under the President's questioning they broke down and admitted the guilt of their companies. The President never used this confession in justification of his acts. Another think about that incident has not been told hitherto. It will be remembered that Mr Roosevelt brought the troops out of Texas and then disbanded them. Years after he told me he had done this for a reason. He was afraid that if they had been discharged in Texas some of the troopers would have been arrested, and there would have been a luring. Roosevelt And Gompers Another occasion when I saw Mr Roodevelt really very angry was in a talk with Samuel Gompers, then the president of the Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompers had called to tell him what he thought he should do about labor. He was pretty high-handed in his talk. Finally Mr Roodevelt lost his patience and he gave the astomished labor leader the most severe verbal drubbing I ever heard in my life. I remember one thing he said. It was this: "So far as I am concerned, labor means no more to me than Wall Street if it violates the law." I have spoken of the variety of guests who met around the Roodevelt table. All sorts of people came to the White House. And the President usually had his guests for dinner or lunch. The lunch or dinner table was a great place for conferences about politics or matters of state. Mr Roodevelt's cowboy and prize-fighting and wrestler friends he entertained, as a rule, at lunch. That was more informal, and the guests themselves were more at ease there The White House Was Home Another frequent guest at the White House dining table in those days was Ellhu Root. Secretary of State I mention this merely to recall something which I am sure will surprise many people. Mr Root is known to the world as large as a great lawyer and is generally regarded as a man of austere manner and cold, unemotional character. And yet some of us in the White House used to call him "Cry Baby." This was not done disrespectfully or its paragently. It was because several times we had seen him moved to tears. I suppose no man ever had a better time in the White House than Mr Roosevelt. And I have often been asked of he did not feel sad at having to leave it. In one way, as the end of his administration approached, Mr Roosevelt was müssen to be gone. He had planned his African trip, and in those last days he was like a boy looking for ward to the closing of school - this did not move fast enough. But in an another scene I am sure he left the White House with a little pang of regret. I am not speaking of the Presidency, but of the White House as a home. It must be remarked that I resentment into the White House when their children were all young and some of them quite small. They spent seven years there, and song of the THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES The average American citizen rarely, if ever thinks of the nation's railroads in any other terms but those of transportation. To suggest or imply that these arteries of travel have a humorous, a romantic or an imaginative side, despite the prosaic business in which they are engaged, would be to suggest something far from the grooyes of thought of the average citizen's mind. Nevertheless, this is an actual fact. American railroads have a humorous as well as sentimental and imaginative sides to their business. To appreciate fully this statement, all one has to do is to peruse thoroughly the time-tables or schedule folders of some of the Class A railroads in this country. This will convince the most sceptical as to the truth of the foregoing assertion. Within the pages of these folders, the reader will be sincerely advised regarding the best railroad in America over which to travel; the one giving the most up-to-date service; the one whose scenic attractions are the most gorgeous, and the one whose trains are the fastest and most luxurious. Each folder claims this for its particular road. The humorous part of these folders is that every one of them begins by extolling the scenic beauty of the country through which the railroad travels. Now and then one will be seen whose advertising salutation is to home seekers; but as a rule most of them begin with the scenic attractions. And it is just here that humor crops out; for while it is true that nearly every big railroad system passes through some part of the country which to the aesthetic traveller, might be considered beautiful at certain seasons of the year, from an advertising point of view, the scenery is practically nil on some of them. Another piece of humor to be noted is the designating of trains. In almost every instance, the trains designated as "Expresses" are the slow trains of the roads. The real fast ones get the railroad nomenclature of "Limited," or some other appellation, symbolizing historically or geographically the part of the country through which they run. It is in the naming of these fast and luxurious trains that the sentimental and imaginative features of the railroads are to be noted. Now what more sentimental name could one ask for a Seaboard Air Line fast train than the appellation of "The Swanne River Special;" The New York and New Haven's "The Piratian;" The Pennsylvania's "The Liberty Limited;" the New York Central's "The DeWitt Clinton;" the Boston and Maine; The Minuteman," named in honor of New England's "Minutemen" of the Revolutionary period? Then there is the Reading with her "Boardwalk Flyer," The Baltimore and Ohio and its "National Limited." The Southern with her "Southerner," The Louisville and Nashville with its "Plamingo;" The Wabash and its "Banner Blue Limited," The Frisco Lines with "The Meteor." "The Rainbow Special" represents the Missouri Pacific Lines; "The Lark;" the Southern Pacific; "The Night Hawk," The Burlington The Viking, The Chicago and Northwestern; "The Firefly," The Rock Island Lines; "The Gopher," the Great Northern; The Arrow, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul; "The Missionary," The Scout" and "Navajo," the Santa Fe System; and "The Owl," the Lackawanna Railroad. The last named trains are those in which the imagination of the various roads is to be observed. Therefore, as said in the beginning to think that the railroads are devoid of humor, sentiment and imagination is to think wrongly, for in their advertising literature is to be seen all those things. Colored Infant Mortality Alarming evidenced among colored people of the city "Those who are in business," he states, "have received an increase patronage." The organization of the El Reno Produce Company, which has several Washington, D. C.—What the mortality rate, exclusive of stillbirths, of colored children under one year of age, is excessively and inexcessibly high is startlingly indicated by birth and infant mortality statistics for a number of large cities, where the medical profession is well represented, at least numerically, by colored physician. This rather alarming situation should be taken at the National Medical Association, and the definite measures should be instituted with a view of remedying a condition that does not reflect credit upon our members of the medical fraternity nor upon our numerous welfare and other social agencies. The following table shows the deaths, exclusive of stillbirths, of colored and white infants under one year of age per 1,000 births in select, arranged in the order of decreasing number of deaths for the year 1923.

The greatest increase was for Richmond, Va, followed by Cincinnati, Chicago, Norfolk, Pittsburgh and Detroit. Business League Notes Achievements Fl Reng, Okla. - Summarizing the achievements of the local Negro Business League of this city, William P. Proctor, secretary, notes that through the efforts of the league a better spirit of cooperation has been younger children really grew up there. The place was filled with all sorts of home memories, for them. A few nights before the inauguration of Mr. Arafat I went quite late into Mr. Roosevelt's study. He was at his desk going over a mass of papers and scarcely noticed my entrance. But after a few moments he paused, pulled the papers away from him, and learned back in his chair with his head lowered as one lost in a reverie. After a minute or two he seemed to notice me. He got up and walked around his desk to where I stood. He painted and turned about slowly, taking in the whole room. Then he put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Well James, we had a lot of fun here, together, haven't we?" evidenced among colored people of the city "Those who are in business," he states, "have received an increase patronage." The organization of the El Reno Produce Company, which has several acres of farm land under cultivation; the securing of a playground for children and the promise of a park for the community; and the ending debate over the State constitution of the Oklahoma Negro Business League are noted among other achievements of the Local Business League. Southern Pastor Asks Fair Deal For Negroes Southern Pastor Asks Fair Deal For Negroes Atlanta, Ga. — "Education and Christianity must be given Negroes of the South, if the white and colored races are to live harmoniously together," said Dr W H Faust, prominent white Baptist pastor, in a recent sermon on "How Christ Would Treat the Negroes in the South." The Negro naturally is religious, and because of his simple faith in eternal verities he is a dominant factor in conserving spiritual ideals of the South," he continued. "No other race has made so much progress in shore shore Jim Jump, and dealing much character our dealings with them. Leaders of both races must hold conferences and work toward civil righteousness." "White Christians of Georgia are not spending enough money to educate and evangelize Negroes.

Mother Of Mrs. Clarence Dodson Dies in 77th Year Mrs. Mary Eliza Williams, the mother of Mrs. Denimadia Dodson of 210 West 133rd street this city, departed this life, in Baltimore, Wednesday, July 21. Mrs. Williams was born in Baltimore, April 26, 1869. She was the daughter of Levi and Mary Jane Fossett. She was one of its loyal citizens through all, the years of her life; and was brought into contact with some of the most stirring incidents affecting both city and race. Her memory remaining perfect until three days of her death, she recalled all the most interesting of these, in her life. After being "little xystaphte" for her parents to whom she was passionately devoted, and having been educated by them when there was only one school other than private ones in this city for colored people, and when every thing used in the school (Old Normal) even to pen and ink had to be paid for, she went forth as a teacher, teaching, in both Belair and on the Eastern Shore of Md. more than 54 or 5 years ago. Thanksgiving Day,-- November 26, 1822 she became the wife of Isaiah B. Williams, also a native of Baltimore, and one of its pioneer business men; an outstanding citizen during the years that men of the race had not yet seen the urgent need of more than just menial labor if they would reach a platform from which they could proclaim themselves the equal of any man regardless of race or creed. She continued to be an exceptionally devoted wife for 22 years, through which she never faltered, whether things went roughly or smoothly, until with the same calm Christian loyalty to her Maker, she surreached him to his master, Mason B. Jr., to this unfulfilled task in his children—Avonia, Avon, Demendna, Fearless, Norma and Davine; the latter with the faithful husband waiting to welcome her at the heavenly mortal. After her husbands death her whole life was one of faithful servitude for these children. August 29, 1905, God gathered Ravine, the pride and baby of the family into the fold. This loss try how she would was the breaking point in her Life; and from it she never fully recovered until her death. At that time after clinging to the other five to the last, and delivering to each of them her last message, she reignedly bleast them with eyes tensed toward her Master, with hand upraised, making the sign of the cross in one large circle above her head, and with the words—is alright, it is well my Father says, we go to geturrendered stronger will he then reservedly gave them up and went in to her last sleep from which she never awoke until, after two days she did so as one of that happy heavenly Host on the other side-of Jordon. May we her children, whom she loved and served so faithfully, so live that we too will meet and we with her to part no more Men may measure higher planets.
