Laniere Held Without Boil As Sneak Thief James Laniere, 251 West 123rd street, was held without bail for Special Sessions in Washington Heights Court Monday. He was arrested at the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church last Wednesday during the session of the Daughter Lakes. Laniere was seen prowling around the church. When asked his business, he said "I am a plumber." Later Mrs. Sadie Grant, of 292 West 147th street, who was serving dinner in the dining room of the church, noticed that the man had entered a closet, which was being used as a ladies dressing room. She tried to open the door, but found that it was being held from the inside. When the man was finally forced to open the door, it is said he had a five dollar bill in his hand, which was claimed by Mrs. Annie Robinson, 549 Lenox avenue. Mrs. Sadie went to the closet, and found that $55 had been taken from her purse, which she said her husband gave her Wednesday morning to pay the rent. It is alleged that during the excitement, a strange man ran in and said that he was a detective, and would take charge of the thief. The strange man finally disappeared and it is thought that he carried with him the loot, because when Laniece was searched by detectives from the West 123rd Street Station, only $23 was found on his person. He was taken by the frantic women, who held him until the arrival of the detectives. It is said that Laniece had had two or three previous convictions, and has served five years in prison for murder. Because of this record he pleaded, with the women not to press the charge. He has also written a letter from the Tombs to Mrs. Robbins, saying that the charge For the benefit of its many women readers, The New York Age has established a Hand-Cut Pattern Department which will supply its readers with the latest styles in Women's, Misses and Children's Wear.

Y. to visit the 369th Regiment, New York National Guard which is doing its annual two weeks tour of camp duty. The regiment which succeeded the famous Old 15th New York in the state military service, gave the visitor a royal welcome, and semer undaunted, by the week of rain which they had undertaken. Gale W. Wiley commanding the regiment, dispensed with the regular guard count, but the regimental review was held at 4 o'clock, despite the heavy showers which fell continuously. The band concert was given also, but it had to be played within the walls of the Community House. The program starting at 5:30 p. m. 900 Men In Camp The regimental roster shows 900 men doing samp duty this year, and Col. Taylor and staff have labored hard to maintain the splendid rocords for efficiency made by the men on former tours of field duty. Special attention is being given to work on rifle and volleyer range, and the soldier boys of the 369th man set up some, high records in shooting. Col. Taylor is anxious that there should be a closer contact and greater sympathy between the citizens of the community and the regiment, and a committee is planning to cooperate with him in this particular. Various plans are being formulated to bring the men and women of the city into the military organization, and to bring the army into more frequent use by civilian bodies. To Welcome Regiment.

Harmonizing Of Conflicting Elements Is Outstanding Accomplishment Of 28th Grand Lodge Session Of Elks G. E. R. Wilson and Associate Officers Plan A Constructive Program; Salaries Boosted; Bonds Arranged For; Deposit Of Funds One of the outstanding accomplishments of the 28th grand lodge session of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. was the apparent getting together and harmonizing of various conflicting elements; the evident desire to give the grand exalted ruler a cabinet that would support his efforts and work sympathetically with him, says one of the most active of the delegates in attendance upon the session. This was emphasized at the first caucus held on Monday night preceding the opening, when conferences were held to start a moment leading to the adjustment of differences between the head of the order and certain of his associate officers. That there was a real necessity for this removal of disturbing influences was shown, according to the speaker by the repeated remarks that the grand sulted ruler was at loggerheads with the grand secretary and the grand treasurer, and that his supporters would try to defeal them for recollection. custody of the bonds. This is now regulated. The grand treasurer and grand treasurer are to teach to boarded in the sum of $25,000, and the grand exalted ruler in the sum of $10,000. These bonds are to be approved by the grand legal advisor, paid for from grand lodge funds, and placed in custody of the grand trustees. Deposit of Funds. Another unusual and important element is the requirement that the grand treasurer Plan Constructiva Program. But, continued he, these officers were too strongly entrenched to do so ruthlessly disposed of, and it was evident that any concerted effort along that line would result in the loss of authority. And so was born the effort to restore harmony of interests. It is announced, that Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson and his fellow officers are planning a constructive program for benefit of the race and the community. The morally—through the Bureaus of Health and Education. Safeguarding of the orders is seen in several legislative actions. In the past, officers have been given the power to see that the order has been no regularization in the process and no particular arrangement for POLICE PRAISE BEHAVIOR AND ACTS OF CROWDS Inspector Ryan Says Parade Was Wonderful, Crowd Colorful Inspector, Thomas. T. Ryan of the New York Police Department pays a fine tribute to the colored residents of Harlem and the thousands of their friends who came to town for the 28th annual grand lodge session of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. in telling of the ease with which the police handled the crowds which lined the streets for the spectacular parade on Tuesday, and which thronged the Harlem avenues throughout the entire week. Inspector Ryan declared that the parade was a wonderful demonstration, colorful, interesting and attractive, and that the crowds were well behaved that the officers detailed along the line of march had practically nothing to do other than to see that in their exuberant enthusiasm the people did not surge out from the curb and get in the way of the marchers. The police, according to the records, made no arrests of visiting folks, and made no arrests of the folks picked up for disorderly actions in connection with the Elks gathering. Capt. Camille Pierce, commanding the 16th Precinct, with headquarters at the West 135th street police station, agreed with Inspector Ryan's statement, and said that credit for the splendid record was all alike to the police and people. Many of the officers on duty from other precints, and Captain Pierce had requested specially that experienced and capable men be detailed, for this, special duty. The good nature of the crowds and the tact of the officers contributed to the success of the raid by the people and their guests. custody of the bonds This, is now regulated. The grand treasurer and grand secretary are each to her-bonded in the sum of $2,500, and the grand-exalted ruler in the sum of $1,000. These bonds are to be approved for from grand lotge funds, and placed in custody of the grand trustees. Depositing of Funds. Another mutual and important engagement is the requirement that the grand treasurer's shall deposit funds for the order each month in lifelong trusteeship. Deposit receipts must be sent to trustees; and that each month a statement as to the condition of the order's funds in the banks shall be made and certified to the cashjets of the various banks, and to the grand treasurer, by the grand treasurer. Incidentally, during Friday's session, the grand lodge boosted the salaries of several of the officers of the grand lodge, and the grand secretary, both with salaries $4,200, were raised to $5,000 each per annum: the commissioner of education, Judge Wm. C. Hueston of Gary, Ind., is to get $3,300. he grand treasurer gave to $1,500. he grand treasurer gave to Perry Howard, will, he paid, $1,200. DETECTIVE HEAD COMMENDS ELKS FOR GOOD ORDER Capt. Hymes Says Events During Week Were Most Orderly He Had Seen Detective Captain Louis Hymes, commanding the 6th Division, with headquarters at 229 West 123rd street, in charge of the detectives working out from the 135th street station, declares that the crowds in attendance upon, the various functions incident to the recent Elks Convention were the most orderly and well behaved he had ever seen. This statement is confirmed by the officers in his squad. Detectives Bauschmidt, Crosby, Boyden and Winterhalter comprise the detail, and they started their activities by a pre-convention haul of known underworld characters, particularly of the pick-pocket group. Some fifteen to twenty, of these gentry were arrested and given the choice of a voluntary incarceration or standing a jail with the possibility of facing a jail sentence, accepted unary, sequestration and after the grand lodge session had adjourned. The apprehension of this group struck terror to the hearts of their associates. A number quickly shook the New York dust from their feet and hied to other pastures. Those who, were, unable to get away shut themselves, up in their private quarters and did not dare show themselves upon the streets. As a result of this percutaneous measure, according to Detectives Bauschmidt and Crosby, there was not a one pick-pocket com- mitted in the whole week, nor was there any. These two officers, with Boyden and Winterhalter, covered every function of the week, including the big parade, the ball and the beauty praise for the people what attended and took part in these affairs, as well as for those who were the directing spirits.

Dr. Brown writes: "Permit me to congratulate you upon your designation and to pledge my personal support and cooperation. I shall from time to time insist upon the members of our congregation to register as this is the first important act for them to perform. So many of them have been neglectful along this line. The ballot is an instrument of power and control, and I believe that it is the duty of every citizen to exercise his right of franchise.

J.—Much curiosity has been aroused among members of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Summit avenue and Ivy place, by the publication in last week's Age of a statement purporting to have been made by "Charles E. Jones, of Grand street, in defense of the board, as against, certain, members of the board of trustees of the church whose removal had been announced. Particular reference was made by "Jones" to Roland R. Abrams, treasurer of the church, who was characterized "unusual to W. L. Hodge, one of the elders, who had signed a petition asking the removal of Dr. Byrd from the Lafayette Church pastorate. It is asserted by Mr. Abrams that the church has reached the church roll and records fails to show that any such individual as "Charles E. Jones of Grand street," is a member of Lafayette Presbyterian Church, as was claimed in statement, nor has the most diligent charity served to disclose his identity. Say "Jones" Is A "Dummy" Mr. Abrams expressed as his opinion that "Jones" was simply a "Dummy" set up, by some one who was afraid to disclose his own identity, and decked that all of his information against the fact that he (Abrams) has consistently refused to bow to the dictates of Pastor Byrd, Abrams deines also that as church treasurer he has "kept neither books nor records," as alleged by "Jones", but has them in his possession—now, and is still functioning as treasurer in his position he was unanimously elected as successor to the late Dr. George Cannon, despite his alleged deposition by the congregation. Willing To Step Down Mr. Abrams questions the congregational meeting at which it was alleged that a new board of trustees was elected, saying that from information received it was slimly attended, those present being mostly personal adherents of the pastor. However, says he, if information was not presented, taken in the proper manner, he is willing to get out and let him have his way. Mr. Abrams, deprecates the present disturbance as calculated to work irreparable injury to the church and to seriously harm all parties concerned. It is reported that efforts are being made to adjust the present differences and to bring about a sense of disagreement that will be to the best interest of the church. In the meantime, the curiosity of those who would discover the identity of "Charles E. Jones" remains unsatisfied. Takes Issue With "Jones" In connection with this matter, The Age is in receipt of a communication from a writer connected closely to some of the most prominent of the Lafayette Church officers and members, taking issue with statements attributed to "Charles E. Jones." The writer, referring to removal of the trustees, says the minister met the meeting was conducted was well under the level; . . . It is not news, that the membership has fallen off; it has been quite noticeable for several years. Rev. Byrd's usefulness ended less than one year after his coming to Lafayette Church. "The writer, Charles E. Jones, whoever, he may be, may have signed his name to the letter but from the tone of the letter it was composed by none other than Rev. Byrd. Anyone familiar with his writings will recognize it. Rev. Byrd knows long since he is not interested in politics and go? Politics come first the church is only a hitching post. The former trustees of the church were stable-minded men whose one interest was looking out for the welfare of Lafayette Church." The old board consisted of J. T. Br own, president; Jas. E. Abrams, vice-president; H. C. Irving, sec-uret, Wm. H. Haney, Fred T. Smith, L. E. Mabry, C. C. James, R. S. Hartgrove. The funeral of Arthur Boatswain senior, law student at New York University, who died in the Harlem Hospital following a week's illness. The funeral ending from the Adolph Howell Funeral Patrons. Father Kirnion, of St. Jude's P. E. Church officiated at the funeral, Favorite hymns of the deceased were sung. Eulogies were delivered by the Rev. Guine of the African Orthodox Church, Cleveland G. Allen of the Intercollegiate Association, and Rev. D. Ward, Nichols of the Howard University. Alumni Association resolution from the Intercollegiate was read by Mia Lucie Spence. Floral tributes were sent from the Omega Pai Phil Fraternity, Kortright Lee, A. L. Sewell, Intercollegiate assistant, from the deceased, and a host of other friends. He is survived by two brothers, and two sisters, and other relatives. Boatswain was born in Monsoerat. He attended Howard University, and was wilhin a few graduating from New York University, having his clerkship in the law firm Hill and Caravan. BY W. K. CHAMBERLEY TER 1 In the Associated Press Report of July 29, 1927, it is stated that an 'alarming falling off in church membership in Protestant churches' of 50,000 a year, is come to pass. Under this caption, 'The Problem of the Negro Church,' I do not propose to discuss the A. M. E. Church, nor any other church as a denomination. I aim to discuss this subject as a churchman who gives a lecture on the pulp and who studied this problem for some years previous to ordination. In the writing of this article, I am aware of two facts: One, that I am inviting the scorn and ridicule of some of my brother clerics. The other fact is that I am writing against all of them. I am holding to serve. The first, fact does not worry me. The second fact does not prevent me from expressing frankly a conviction of the truth as I see it, basing my article 'not on theory but on fact. Studying this particular problem as with particulars, with thousands of laymen' who have been frank with me; I have come to the conclusion that the one vital problem in the Negro Church (the holding of its present membership and increasing it), rests, not on the clergy alone, nor on the laity. In fact, the emphasis, not on dead sues, but on live ones. The Church is called a business institution; a social institution; an institutional institution; a . . .commercial institution; the church being 'an institution marching under the banner of Jesus Christ and keeping step with the people of the world.' Very little is said about the church along that line. We ministers denounce lotteries, but we permit in our churches the selling of lucky number tickets and tickets held by the church. We ministers denounce the dance halls and those who see no sin in going to an occasional dance but "we are . . as tight-lipped as a corpse when the 'big member of church gives a ticket in 'in honor' of some out-of-town guest." We denounce the theatre, as a disturbing influence in Christian-Church experience, but we sit in silence when our children at college play theatrical arts in the fruit of class theatricals. We raise the devil about the painted-faced flapper who parades the streets of our town. But when our wives and daughters, made-up like Indians, and with knee-high hair, go to church, we argue that we want our girls to be stylish. Let a church member be found working as an entertainer in a cabaret, and out goes that member. But when rally day comes, how many of them enter the museum which comes from the cabaret owner? We bang off the head of a woman who keeps an assignation house, but we preach the 'Sweet Story of the Lamb' to the woman our church who runs a buffet flat. We praise the Volstead Act to the skier. But some of us take our glass of beer or wine when we feel the wind are with the wind. When a member of our church goes seriously wrong, instead of giving him heaven, we give him hell. We preach how to treat their children and children. Yet were ours to talk, many of ours could run us out of our pulpits. could run, us, out of our pupils. We advocate, all men are equal, and not the church, as a 'whole, which receives the most attention from us. I believe in the Church of Jesus Christ. If I did not, I would quit it, believe that countless thousands would be saved by the church and would find joy in serving God through its agency. But, further, I believe that the pew is wide awake; that the pew can settle some things for itself; that it wants its ministry to represent the church and to represent storship. I believe that the minister should have a message to give to his hearers and stop speculating about Moses and the Book of Revelation. It is one thing for the minister to preach 'Can these men be saved by the church thing to preach. "Why have dry bones at all?" I believe that the ministry should teach men not the looking-forward unto death, but the joy of living and hammers them with the joy they had their day. This day demands the showing of God to all men, rather than the proclaiming of God, as an angry Judge anxious for the soul into eternal destruction. I believe that Baptists should stop fighting about the other churches going wrong and that the Methodists have about as much as they can do in the minding of their own church business. I have, never been accused of being a prophet: I am not attempting to prophey in this article. But do see the day, day happen in this church, they must meet its problem of church membership in a common-sense way. In our church today there are members who: I. When they want to attend a dancing party, occasionally; they intend to do so. 2. When they choose to play a game of whist, they will not ask the permission of any church to do so. 3. When they want to go to the "movies", or to a theatre they will go. Now the attitude of the Negro Church is against these three issues. The laity argues that it is competent. We decide these issues itself. The church argues that its "Thou' shall not' s" must pervail. As a pastor, I have found 'always two groups of people in my membership. One group of men and women who will, not take abuse from the pastor when it exercises its judgment in the choice of investments. That will permit a diverse group of church members. ting to this. The other group is composed of those who declare that person is truly conceived, he is not garishly pleaure. "This latter group usually expects of the pastor that he and his preaching must conform to its thought. Now, with the church membership divided on this question of amuletsets, concern is many cases; that the younger-inage members of the church become indifferent, and then, and to say, Here is where I think so many of its pastors fail in the doing of effective work. Instead of "being minister to us, we frequently do the folklore and of those members who just wouldn't dance or go to a show or play a game of cards, but who see no harm in fussing in board meetings or crucifying some member on the cross of slander. As I see it, the person who has a temper to harm his brother, he himself, should come clean or smell like soap. As a pastor, I have never presumed to decide the "forms of amusement my membership must avoid. If it hasn't, sense enough decide that question for itself, I have never "put the law," of my church on anyone because in the living of a, decent, upright life, such a "one sees no wrong in dancing occasionally or in a friendly game of cards. I do not stretch, I will not shrink it like a pickle. As a pastor, I have learned that all of the devil raised in any church I have served, is raised by those who shout; the loudest about harmless pleasures being enjoyed some of them, while they the shouters, things in politics, in business and in fraternities which, would make an angel in heaven hang his head in shame. For this attitude I have been criticised and condemned. But as a minister of the church, not rob any life of its sweetness and the joy of its song. I believe that our younger generation is not lost to the church of its fathers. I believe that no minister should compromise with wrong-doing. But with so many crims in our hearts, I have straightening our hearts, attending horse-races, sneaking into a movie show and forgetting that the night has eyes as well as the day: creating in the church little monarchies over which we must reign as king—with this condition confronting us, I maintain that if the church itself within to meet the attacks hurled against it from without. Is the church. Josing ground? No! The Church of God will always stand firm. But the group of people wherever situated which calls itself a church, and relegates to itself the sole right to bang as loud as possible. He leads them to see Jesus as a Saviour and, not as a tyrant. I say that such a group has lost its grip on the hearts' of men and women. The day is now when the laity of the Negro Church knows more than how to read a little and write a letter. He is intelligent. He resides not in some sort, but a house. His house is usually a home, comfortably furnished. Books are on his shelves, and a radio is frequently found in his living room. When he attends a church service, he expects to hear aermon, a appeal to his ears, and brain rains. He wants his pastor to give him not "hash," but the Sweet Story of Jesus, so applied as to help him he a better and stronger man. The layman of this day wants his pastor to break cliques and not build them. He wants his pastor to boss him. He hates to think that his pastor will accept car-fares from sick members or expect "donations" for burying the dead. Many ministers are blind to these things, but the laity is awake. It is thinking-it is putting its thoughts into words and actions. Today the laity knows it is not obliged to go to church it is not obliged to an abusive pastor, and unless we are attending and banging at our members every time they attend service, either they will quit the church or they will tell-us to pack our trunks and go. This is not a tirade against my clerical brethren. It is not a plea for a lower standard of church life. I am not paying to the galley, I am not paying to the faceless, I know them. I want the Church of God to grip and hold the unchurched thousands of our youth. The church; under Jesus Christ, can do this. But its methods must be changed. The methods of our lives have ago, not work satisfactorily in all areas to-day. Lawpw will no longer be driven like 'heats by any minister, and shoud they he expelled from one church, there is another which would welcome them gladly. Now argue that the laity must choose of his attitudes, towards the It is expected of a minister that he dress neatly, keep his linen clean, set a good table, and pay his bills. Also his wife and children are expected always to look presentable. Some church now have a chair where children charge a car. Yet hardly is there found a Negro church but what in it are members who believe that the minister should be the poorest pal dman, in the 'community' I mean to say that there are lay members who believe that the minister should grudge the payment of an adequate salary to the minister. When the minister finishes his week's work, he wants his money. Yet, many are the church officials who believe in 'paying everybody else and in letting the minister take ten thousand dollar men' in their pulps, but they will pay for such a service, about $1,000 a year. I believe that no minister should serve for money alone. I believe also that a minister's salary should be designated according to the financial needs of the church, membership, composed of laymen, members, bishops, be amended to respect to pay, pardons more, salaries more, alliances more, church should be amended to force, or try to force, a salary, larger than the ability of the membership to pay, mean continually about having to pay the pastor, as a minister, no matter how Christ-like he may strive to be loses, heart. Belonging human to the church, the officer, which he officers, grumble about paying his officers, grumble about his family to suffer. This is an illustration which will fit many a church of my group, one of my charge, the officer, passes his hundred dollars and money lent to the trustees) were due me. By vote of the church, a financial drive was inaugurated, to repay me. When the drive was and over six hundred dollars were raised, the officials prepared to pay me what was and indeed said that as I hadn't done any begging for that money, I should expect any of it, so he "moved" that four hundred dollars be put aside to towards the buying of coal, wood and such other emergencies as may arise in the church. Of course that motion did not carry- ward the buying of coal, wood and such other emergencies as that board to listen to such proposition. Had, however, it passed, I would have been paid, even though I were called upon to explain what I would have done, to some Judge in the common courts. The point. I illustrate is this. In the eyes of some laymen which in holding one his hand beging for bread, he should be given no consideration at all. Cases, like the one just quoted are not exceptional, nor will they be, while aymen in so many of our churches feel that their minors are unnecessary financial burdens. The problem of the Negro Church today is to bring it up to a standard where 'minister and lathy' working together to teach the love of God, as taught by Jesus, will so often be, when church work for its challenge to sin with spirit undaunted. In every-effort representing progress, the Negro Church must have its voice. My church should teach Negro history, Negro thrift, Negro selflessness. We should stop preaching about a white Christ, but declare Him as the Saviour of men. Before, the Negro Church today there stands the improper schooling facilities for our children. Lynch law still holds high its head. What about hygienic analysis and the iphit ring out on these things. Of course there will be members of our churches who will cry "We want the Gospel." But the gospel of living and advancing towards success is the gospel as preached by Jesus. The Negro Church is the church that iphit ring out on today. But unless the church recognizes that times are changed, that men and women are thinking out many things, for themselves that an open, helpful, common sense co-ordination of young member, old member, official member, minister, needles of the leadership of the Negro Church will be questioned and undoubtedly denied. When the day comes that the Negro Church, will be guided by the spirit of service, rather than by the letter of some obsolete minister who the Negro minister will teach him how to battle with the every-day probes of life, rather than speculate so much about the golden streets of Paradise; when the time comes that our youth can belong to the church when they become more occasional dance without being expelled for so-doing; when the time comes that the aim and effort of the Negro minister everywhere will be to appeal to the intelligence of his congregation rather than to emote, to be more active, when comes, this church of mine will stand as a mighty force battling against all types of evil, so that the brotherhood of man, as taught by Jesus, shall prevail.

Arthur Owen Waller, 21 of Elmhurst, Long Island, N. Y., and who has just finished his second year in Springfield "W" College, Springfield Mass has won the distinction of being the first colored boy to win a scholarship to the University of Geneva, Switzerland, because of "excellent scholarship." The company offered was for second year, students who were studying French, and was holly-contested. Waller was on of the successful three and was the first colored boy to win this scholarship. Young Waller is the son of the Rev. M. Maurice Waller, a live-recording E. M. Minnell with his parents and a brother at 5 Cutler street, Elmhurst, Long, Island. Won High School Honor In 1925 when, Walter was a senior at Newton High School, Queens and one of thirteen colored students, although the school enrollment, was more than .3,000, he was elected president of the student body, known as the General Organization by a majority larger than the number of his classmates; both of whom were among the most popular boys in the school. The election of *Waller* by so overwhelming a majority gave opportunity to some reporters for metropolitan papaers to exercise their imaginations and maliciously write that there had been rioting; first fighting; and hair-pulling matches between the boys and girls of the school during the election; these were saturated with rioting; *Dillingham*; who said that there had been no disturbances at all. Besides being president of the student organization at high school, Waller was the only student of the school to get three major letters in sports, being a member of the track baseball and cross country teams. Fine Record At College At Springfield College, Waller again forged ahead in both scholastic and athletic pursuits. His general average in studies was above the average student, despite the fact that he was a member of both track and cross country teams. and had won major letters in 'both.' He is a member of Alpha Psi Chapter, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. He sailed Wednesday, August 31 on the Berengaria and will be in Switzerland for a year. At the University, Walter will be student instructor of gymnastics, as will be the other two, scholarship Winners. When he returns Waller will enter the Springfield College as, as senior.

Companies run on this plan have to maintain a reserve as required by law and provided in the policy, which is issued in amounts of one thousand dollars and upwards, with premiums. payable annually, semi-annually or quarterly. Three of these companies also do an industrial business on which premiums are collected weekly, with death benefits only. Besides these eight old line reserve companies, the oldest of which began business in 1899, three other concerns which had previously done only a sick and accident business, put themselves on a legal reserve basis about two years ago. There are several other companies bordering between the assessment, and the reserve plan, which have not put up the legal reserve necessary to place them in that class. Other organizations doing a considerable business do not make reports to insurance publications. In an illuminating article published in the Crisis, a few months ago, Harry H. Pace, president of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., gave a list of twenty-nine race organizations engaged in the business of insurance. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1927 MAKING GOOD AS POLICE. For a number of years the city of Louisville, Kentucky, has been looking forward to the appearance of colored men in police uniform. According to the Louisville Leader, there is a need for much officers in the sections of the city largely populated by members of the race. The matter was duly taken up by a committee headed, by Bishop Clement, and the editor of the Leader, who held a conference with Mayor O'Neal shortly after he assumed office. The mayor and the new chief of police favored the idea and asked for data concerning the use of colored patrolmen in other cities. Letters were written to several of the cities where Negro police are employed and out of the prompt and favorable responses received those from the police heads of Knoxville, Tennessee; Indianapolis, a hotbed of the Ku Klux Klan and Chicago; "where the Negroes usually get what they go after," were submitted to the mayor and published in the Leader. The Knoxville chief stated that three colored patrolmen are assigned to patrol in the colored district and guarded; added: "They make good officers to patrol in sections of the city where the population is largely made up of colored people. One of the best detectives in my judgment, ever connected with this department was a colored man now deceased. At the present time we are not using any colored detectives." The Indianapolis chief stated that there were twenty colored officers on his force, comprising four detective sergeants, four trafficmen, one chauffeur and the remainder district patrolmen. All of these have served a number of years and their service was pronounced efficient and faithful. This chief also added a word of warning as to assignments, saying, "we have to be particularly careful in order to avoid racial feelings. Oftimes, when large parades on public demonstrations are held, we have to be careful and assign these officers at points where there is not liable to be any question as to their color. But in the summing up of their service, I have nothing but commendation to give." The Superintendent of Police in Chicago, replying through a deputy, stated that colored policemen have been employed in that department since 1882. The records furnished the following data as to those at present in the department: One lieutenant, nine sergeants, one hundred and eleven patrolmen, one patrolman-operator and one policewoman. As to their usefulness as protectors of the public peace, some were pronounced every successful on plain clothes duty, especially where persons of their own color are concerned." Their record on the whole is judged to be "about on an average with other members of the department of the same rank." While this testimony as to the practical value of Negroes as guardians of the peace may have been necessary to convince the Louisville authorities, it has become a demonstrated fact in most of the cities of the East where members of the group have steadily won their way into the uniformed ranks. The first large city to make this experiment was Philadelphia under Mayor King, some thirty or more years ago. Brooklyn, when still a separate city under Mayor Chapin, another Democrat, followed this example, and some time after consolidation, the Greater City of New York did the same. Police duty nowadays requires men of good physique, alert mentality, sound judgment and trained intelligence. Their color should be a minor consideration, if they can make good in other respects. MAKING GOOD AS POLICE. For a number of years the city of Louisville, Kentucky, has been looking forward to the appearance of colored men in police uniform. According to the Louisville Leader, there is a need for such officers in the sections of the city largely populated by members of the race. The matter was duly taken up by a committee headed, by Bishop Clement and the editor of the Leader, who held a conference with Mayor O'Neal shortly after he assumed office. The mayor and the new chief of police favored the idea and asked for data concerning the use of colored patrolmen in other cities. This rapid and steady growth of insurance as a business among the race is attributed to the attitude of most of the white companies in refusing to write risks on Negroes or if they do, in discriminating in their rating. Mr. Pace cited but one of these companies which is generally known to give a first class colored risk the policy to which his health, occupation and general surroundings entitle him. Another large New York company was quoted as issuing "endowment insurance without rating to only the best professional risks among colored people." This attitude has contributed largely to the building up of insurance business among Negroes. Letters were written to several of the cities where Negro police are employed, and out of the prompt and favorable responses received those from the police heads of Knoxville, Tennessee; Indianapolis, a hotbed of the Ku Klux Klan, and Chicago, "where the Negroes usually get, what they go after," were submitted to the mayor and published in the Leader. The Knoxville chief stated, that three colored patrolmen are assigned to patrol in the colored district and guardedly added: "They make good officers to patrol in sections of the city where the population is, largely made up of colored people. One of the best detectives in my judgment, ever connected with this department was a colored man, now deceased. At the present time we are not using any colored detectives." The immensity of this field and the possibilities for future growth are shown by some figures given by Mr. Pace. The total amount of insurance in force December 31, 1925, of ten companies named in his article, was over one hundred and forty-one million dollars, with over six hundred and fifty thousand outstanding policies. This did not include the Standard Life of Atlanta nor the Mississippi Life, both of which had been absorbed by white interests, nor the Lincoln Reserve of Birmingham, Ala., also controlled by white officers and directors. Including these, we would have a total of 966,893 policies, for over one hundred and eighty million dollars of insurance on colored risks. It is Mr. Pace's idea that these totals are surpassed, however, by the insurance carried by Negroes in one great New York company alone. Even granting this assumption as fact, he considers, that the race is woefully under-insured, although the amount of insurance carried has increased tremendously during the past few years. The Indianapolis chief stated that there were twenty colored officers on his force, comprising four detective sergeants, four trafficmen, one chauffeur and the remainder district patrolmen. All of these have served a number of years and their service was pronounced efficient and faithful. This chief also added a word of warning as to assignments, saying, "we have to be particularly careful in order to avoid racial feelings, Oftimes, when large parades or public demonstrations are held, we have to be careful and assign these officers at points where there is not liable to be any question as to their color. But in the summing up of their service, I have nothing but commendation to give." This increase of insurance which seems bound to continue under prudent and progressive management, has set the pioneers in this line to devising some system of cooperation, which will enable them to expand their business with safety and render the experience gained in the years of upbuilding available to all concerned. There are problems of office management, direction of field forces, loans on policies, losses on health, accident and disability policies, in which the experience of one company might be helpful to another. While some of these questions probably would present individual phases peculiar to certain localities; there might be general principles evolved and normal standards set which would regulate such transactions on a sound and equitable basis. Cooperation among the men engaged in building up this immense financial structure based on the business of insurance is essential to its fullest development. As Mr. Pace said in closing his article, "with seven million dollars of assets, eight million dollars annual income and over a million dollars of invested capital, the business of insurance among Negroes is entitled to the support of the entire race." The Superintendent of Police in Chicago, replying through a deputy, stated that colored policemen have been employed in that department since 1882. The records furnished the following data as to those at present in the department: One lieutenant, nine sergeants, one hundred and eleven patrolmen, one patrolman-operator and one policewoman. As to their usefulness as protectors of the public peace, some were pronounced "very successful on plain clothes duty, especially where persons of their own color are concerned." Their record on the whole is judged to be "about on an average with other members of the department of the same rank." While this testimony as to the practical value of Negroes as guardians of the peace may have been necessary to convince the Louisville authorities, it has become a demonstrated fact in most of the cities of the East where members of the group have steadily won their way into the uniformed ranks. The first large city to make this experiment was Philadelphia under Mayor King, some thirty or more years ago. Brooklyn, when still a separate city under Mayor Chapin, another Democrat, followed this example, and some time after consolidation, the Greater City of New York did the same. Let the insurance leaders get together in an effort to increase their policies to meet the needs of the race, while maintaining their reserves and building up their surplus as a further margin of safety. Police duty nowadays requires men of good physique, alert mentality, sound judgment and trained intelligence. Their color should be a minor consideration, if they can make good in other respects. ELKS MADE GOOD IMPRESSION. The convention of the Independent Order of Elks of the World which was the prevailing sensation in Harlem last week, closed with the same harmony and decorum that characterized its proceedings throughout. This did not mean that its session were lacking in interest or in diversity of opinion; but all differences were settled by the vote of the INSURANCE AS A BUSINESS. The growth of insurance as a business among Negroes during the past twelve fourteen years is termed tremendous by one of the promoters largely responsible for that development. This applies largely to various forms of life and health and accident insurance. There are The growth of insurance as a business among Negroes during the past twelve or fourteen years is termed tremendous by one of the promoters largely responsible for that development. This applies largely to various forms of life and binding. The re-election of J. Finley Wilson as grand exalted ruler, which was made, by acclamation, was carried through as proposed by those responsible for bringing the meeting to New York. The whole proceedings were marked, by a disposition to subordinate personal and selfish ambitions to the greater good of the order. While this gathering brought to Harlem members of the race from all parts of the United States, Cuba and the West Indies, their infux into the community brought no disturbance of the peace nor unpleasant incidents to mar its record. The police maintained an attitude of courtesy and protection toward the out-of-town delegates and visitors, and none of them was required to appear in court for any infraction of traffic regulations or other misconduct. The police officials who came in contact with the convention crowds were loud in praise of their conduct. Inspector Thomas T., Ryan pronounced it the most orderly convention held here, while Police Captains Pierne and Day coincided in this opinion, the former being in charge of the sixteenth precinct where most of the visitors were gathered. The coming of the Elks to Harlem should prove educative to both parties. The visitors saw Harlem and the home folks saw numbers of substantial citizens who have achieved high standing in the various communities that they represented. This mutual contact should have good results. A BALTIMORE SMARTCRACK. Evidently the editor of the Baltimore Afro-American prides himself on having a head for figures, as he undertook to correct Acting Mayor McKee in the matter of the Negro population of New York City. Under the guise of what he should doubtless call a "smarterack," with the flippant heading, "Bunk de bunk," the Baltimore critic proceeded: Evidently the editor of the Baltimore Afro-American prides himself on having a head for figures, as he undertook to correct Acting Mayor McKee in the matter of the Negro population of New York City. Under the guise of what he would doubtless call a "smarterack," with the flippant heading, "Bunk de Bunk," the Baltimore critic proceeded: Annual conventions for the most part afford speakers the occasion for considerable hokum and bunk. While the speech of Acting Mayor Joseph V. McKee' white, of New York before the Elks' Convention Monday. We pardon his allusion to New York as the "greatest metropolis of the world" but when he commends the "300,000 Negroes of New York City" for their accomplishments it's time to call a halt. The U. S. Census figures give New York City 152,467 colored folk in 1920. Census estimates place the population increase every three years at nearly 8,000. In other words the government figures New York City today has 170,000 colored people. If New York has 300,000 colored folk as the acting mayor boasts to 130,000 of them were not at home when census enumerators called. Mr. McKee, therefore, is about 47 per cent out of the way in his population estimates, which is not bad at all for a summer convention glad-hander. The reliance placed upon the census figures of 1920 by the Baltimore editor is truly ingenuous, and his estimate of the increase of population since that time takes no account of the influx of population due to the Southern migration during the past five years or more. Harlem stone is conceded by good authorities to have from 200,000 to 250,000 Negro population. This does not include those residing in other parts of Manhattan, where smaller groups are to be found, east side, west side and all around the town. Then there are the four otheroroughs of New York City, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, all of which have their separate quota of colored residents. Editor Murphy may be quick at figures, but he ought to keep better posted on the growth and distribution of the race in New York City, of which Harlem is but a part, although important in itself.

On Tuesday, September 12, the New York public schools will begin their regular session for the fall and winter. Registration of pupils will take place the week previous, so as to give new pupils an opportunity to become enrolled. Mil On Tuesday, September 12, the New York public schools will begin their regular session for the fall and winter. Registration of pupils will take place the week previous, so as to give new pupils lions of dollars of the city taxes go to maintain the public school system, which New York provides for the making of good citizens. Under our system of government it is held to be the duty of the State to educate its citizens, and public schools are maintained for this purpose. The corresponding duty of the citizens, parents or guardians, after contributing to the payment of taxes to meet the cost of education, is to prepare their children to receive it. The city provides the buildings, the teachers and the school equipment of books and other aids to instruction. The parents, now have to send the children, decently dressed and neat in appearance, to secure the education that the State provides. More than this, the pupils be presented in a normal physical and mental condition to absorb and digest the instruction received during school hours, if the best results are to be obtained. School attendance is a hard oped child, who has not been day's work for the undevel- Discussing the work of the Boston Urban League in sending more than one hundred boys and girls to summer camp this year, the Boston Chronicle, said hundreds more had been disappointed. It continued: Thanks to the foresight of the St. John's Institutional Church of Springfield, the Urban League has been able to send many boys and girls to this summer camp in East Brookfield. It cannot, however, take, care of the large number which could be sent there. Prior to the opening of this summer camp to the use of a limited number of Boston children, summer camp facilities for colored children were woefully inadequate. A few of the Negro churches which are affiliated with white denominations, were able to send a small batch of children to the white camps; the Y. M. C. A. took only two colored boys in the Junior camp and a small number of colored boys between the ages of 7 and 12, and the Salvation Army's quota was infinitesimal. There is a demand for greater facilities in providing summer camps for city children, which the Urban League is counted upon to meet in Boston, it seems. --- According to the Chicago Light Mayor Thompson shook the plum tree to some purpose for the benefit of his colored supporters. It said: Close upon the heels of the announcement that Patrick F. Prescott, of the firm of the Bibb and Prescott, lawyers, and one of the editors of the Chicago Whip, had been appointed an assistant corporation counsel at $5,000 a year, came the further attorney William L. Temple had been appointed city attorney, and Attorney George Lawrence, an assistant corporation counsel. This increases to five the number of Negroes holding responsible positions in the office of the Corporation Counsel, Samuel Etelsson. Prescott's position is the one held by Commerce Commissioner Edward H. Wright. In the first Thompson administration he had the active support of the administration leaders in three wards in his bid for the position. Mr. Prescott is the son-in-law of Bishop A. J. Carey, who was made a civil service commissioner of the city soon after Mayor Thompson's election. Mrs. Prescott is head of the French Department of Wendell Phillips high school. The Negroes of Chicago evidently played politics to some purpose, when they supported Thompson for mayor. Noting the existence of a deadlock in the school situation in Baltimore county, the Baltimore Afro-American said: The parents' organization demands a high school somewhere in the county which shall be open to all grammar school graduates. They point out that the county standard of education is 11 years and at present colored schools stop at the seventh grade. They averay that both Catonville and New York are eligible for high school to have such a building at either or both towns. To these demands the school authorities turn a deaf ear. They refuse to build any high school for colored children. They reserve the right to send one tenth of the eligibles to high school in Baltimore with tuition paid. The others, school officials say, "should go to work." The county taxpayers have two civic committees. The first is to appeal to the school officials and county commissioners. The second is to place the whole case in the hands of a capable lawyer who shall seek relief thru the courts. rightly prepared for it. A normal- physical condition, without nervous tendencies, is necessary to carry the youngsters through the ordeal of school. Many backward pupils are rendered so through some physical disability or nervous strain, undiscovered by the school authorities. So preparation for school should include physical and mental condition of the pupils, as well as their material belongings. With pupils and teachers reinvigorated by three months of vacation and change, the reopening of the schools should be an occasion for general rejoicing. The city has been liberal in its compensation of its teaching force and should reap the result in solid work in the training of its future citizens. With the army of parents and teachers and pupils all doing their part, the work of education should proceed along the lines mapped out for it by the masters of pedagogy. And sometimes the teacher possessing true insight and experience can improve upon the plan of the pedagogue. and advised recourse to the courts to secure better educational facilities. And this is in the state of Maryland, where Negroes vote, as well as pay taxes. The Chicago Bee in a leading editorial eulogized General Leonard Wood, who died shortly after his return from the Philippines, as a sincere friend of the race and a staunch supporter of the late Colonel. Charles Young. It continued: A striking example of his honest and fair attitude towards our group was given at Charleston, S. C., during the world war. Charleston, being a seaport with one of the largest and deepest harbors on the Atlantic coast, was made a naval base of supplies. Women were called upon to make uniforms for the sailors and marines; colored as well as white uniforms. The bishop classes were employed, but the white refuses to work in the same rooms with colored women, so the latter were discharged. When the conditions and the situation was called to the attention of General Wood, who had charge of that area at that time, by the N. A. A. C. P., over the protests of the South Carolina United States Senator, Governor, he ordered that the colored men be put to work. Consequently a large and costly government station of stone and marble that had been completed there for the reception of immigrants, but that had not been used for that purpose because the war interrupted, was turned over to the Navy for the use of our women and girls, and there during the whole period of the war, they pursued that work in comfort and good health, the finest good, kind-hearted General Wood, and in spite of Tillman, bleating Please and the rest. This reveals a phase of General Wood's character which was not generally recognized, as he had been considered a supporter of the color line in Cuba. One of the branches of the Georgia legislature has passed a racial integrity law, similar to the Virginia statute, and the Savannah Tribune anticipates its approval by the other house before adjournment. It commented as follows: It is a matter of impossibility to legislate morals into any being. Man cannot be forced to be good by the enactment of special laws. Racial integrity bills are enacted by some states and being proposed in others will never succeed as a panacea to keep the races or individuals apart. The most it will do is to cause considerable humiliation and distress, and the committing of wrongs upon those who are innocent. If this racial injustice is not remedied, the retired, years ago, possibly the end aimed at might have resulted, but like the saying of "locking the stable after the horse is stolen," it is now entirely too late for such an enactment. The tie has been caste and the law will never be effective. Such a law may act as a boomerang and will not touch the Negro either. If the white South really wanted racial integrity, it would abolish the anti-miscegenation laws and make the fathers of illegitimate children assume responsibility for their offspring; regardless of color. In her "Up-To-Date" column in the Norfolk Journal and Guide, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell emphasized the following note of warning to women, who want to retain their health: The head of a sanatorium for tuberculosis in Milwaukee says that the State's twenty institutions for treating that disease are full to overflowing for the first time in twenty years and that there is great relief. THE AGE READERS' FORUM list beides. He says that women wear too little clothing, in order to be as slender as possible. The body becomes chilled, says this authority, and the woman's power of resistance becomes so weakened that she cannot throw off disease. When the dreaded germ tackles her, therefore, the woman is fearful handicapped in her fight for health. There is another mistake many women are making in order to appear slim. They eat too little to sustain themselves. diet themselves to the point of starvation, so as to be slender and in the prevailing style. They refuse to eat wholesome food for fear of putting on a few pounds of flesh. What a difficult thing it is to strike the golden mean in anything in this old world! Now some of us eat too The Free Workman's Play-Day And The Blessedness Of Labor The Free Workman's Play-Day And The Blessedness Of Labor BY NATHAN MEYEROWITZ World War Veteran Dedicated to all the capitalists and the military of Uncle Sam's Worligic Republic. coming billow; Work with a stout Heart and res- "olute will." FRANCES S. OSGOOD Nathan' Meyerowitz Forty years ago Monday, September 5, the first Labor Day pierced the monotonous tradition that veiled the American Calendar, Labor Day is new to the world, and it is pregnant with a tremendous power of social renewal. This reviving holiday stands for an idea that is as old as the struggle of the Israelites against their Egyptian taskmakers. Emin in his book *Pharaohs, Pharaohs, indefatigable workmen* lack the felt of a *Labor Day*. Thus sad Moses unto Pharaoh on behalf of the enslaved Hebrew: "Let us, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness." Of goodness "The ruins of overtopped thrones, and over the top of the blank walls that intercept the blind alleys of political delusions, FREEDOM has many revivals. "A Birth of Freedom" was Abraham Lincoln's prognosis of freedom. FREEDOM shall have joy and free-will in it, and not degenerate into involuntary servitude. It is no dull paradox to term Labor Day the Workman's Play-Day. American Democracy can be won only by men who know how to make a game and a gay holiday a sober and momentous purpose. It is to be noted that this festival is a national affair. It belongs to us all. Its gifts and inspirations are not to be appropriated to any class. If capitalists and employers consulted their own interests, to say nothing of the public welfare, they foster labor organizations and contribute generous capitalized labor. Both would be parading on Labor Day in the same ranks, arm in arm together. Rev De Witt Talmadge said: "The distance between capital and labor is not a great gulf over which is swing a Niagara suspension bridge; it is only a step, and the laborers here will cross over capitalists, and the capitalists will cross over and come laborers. Would to God they would shake hands while they are crossing, these from one side, and those from the other side." Every conflict between capital and labor is economic civil war, in which both are hurt and neither are helped—as the recent subway strike (which was, fortunately, the time) has infallibly convinced us. Some day the men who have capital which wants to work, and the men who have labor which wants to work—will see the identity of their interests and work together and produce together and as a mutual benefit association. The fact seems to be that we all do recognize, the necessity of labor, and the credit due to those who do labor, but we are the more willing that the other fellow should do it, and we have the credit. We must do the wore labor in its common meaning, which is labor that must be done by clock and for wages. As a matter of fact, nearly every American does labor—and the rich man works far harder than the poor man—that frequently being the real reason he is rich. The fundamental distinction seems to be that one works at what he can do, the other works at what he do, while the other works he must and at what he can get to do. On the top of which is the other difference that one is his own master and the other is not. We do not see how the difference is to be abolished, so long as men are not cut to the same pattern of physical and mental capacities. Labor is the crown of true loyality, and the splendid acepter of one's highest much. We literally dig our graves with our teeth. We indulge in steaks and all kinds of heavy food till we take on a burden of fat and ruin our health by indulging our appetites too much. The only way we can avoid going to extreme in anything is by being conservative and temperate in all things. But there is no doubt that by eating too little and dressing too scantily many women and girls are laying the foundation of tuberculosis and ruining their health. It remains to be seen what effect this warning will have on those women who are ruled by the dictates of fashion, which call for boyish bobs and body lines to match them. strength to the definition of Labor, it may be 'advisable to express in Longfellow's poetical words: "Let us then be up and doing. With a heart for any fate; Still achieve issuing, Loving and to do. To be in fashion, we ought to say something about the dignity and honor of labor, and add, perhaps, something about the advantage and the wickedness of capital. But we prefer to sacrifice eloquence and sentimentality to commitment. Through the emancipation of labor, the spirit of art and joy, is to come to terms with the powers of the machine. It is announced that the deadlock between capital and labor is to be broken, and all men, women and children, from the top to the bottom of the so-called are, are to be made richer and free. All over the world, today, within the circle of civilized commerce, there is said to be a tendency toward a lowering of the purchasing value of the day's work. That is a very serious matter. It makes a housing challenge and appeal to the heart of the world. Universal Democracy. The working organization of the world is put on trial. Over against the trial and test of our industrial order rises the intellect, the courage of the best and wises in all lands. The air is full of generosities, and great devotion. The challenger of the labor problem is being met and matched by the most imaginative best of science and sympathy that mankind has ever known. LABOR DAY is a DAY of days when we turn the pages of our memorandum book which contains the contents of the past year's accomplishments. It is the DAY of industrial TERNITY. All kinds of workers—the UNION of all who care, in the service of all who need. The.ranks of labor will march on Monday (September 5) and we shall salute them with as much sympathy and as much respect as any will exhibit. But we could be a hundred-fold as enthusiastic if all the capitalists, and the employeers by this city were marching side by side with the makers and wage-earners, all beneath banners, all keeping the same rhythmic cadence to the inspiring, divine music of good-will and common interest. We all like BAD LAY. We admire and respect what for—a DAY of LIBERTY, dedicated to the bread-winners of the most progressive UNION in US Universe. As it is but in strict harmony with the LORD Holy Commandment we all the sky-piercing Heights of Sinai "And proclaim Liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." (Leviticus 25:11). We lift hats to the hosts of Labor, marching through our streets on Labor Day. We hail them as the mightiest social and civil agents of modern Civilization. And we confidently hope that some day long after we shall have denced in the decor of the depth of eternity, other members be lifted to far mightier hosts marching in annual celebration of the activities and beneficent results of the One Big UNION (jewelled with the RED, WHITE and BLUE BANKER), in which employer and employed will hold cards of common membership. In conclusion, to lend additional strength and embellishment to Labor Day, we may decorate it with the verse of George P. Morris: "The union of lakes—the union of lands. The union of States none can The union of hearts, the union of hands, And the Flag of the UNION forever!" Dodging It Lord Winterton's ignorance of the kukathi shooting affair in Bengal is exercising the mind of India so much and why it compels members of The House of Commons generally interested in security of hindia in India is as colossal and annoying as the studied superliliouses, with which he treats every interpretation regarding the matter. It is perhaps, instructed ignorance and the part which this lordship is expected to act up to is to show an anxiety to talk about all manner of irrelevant detail but to continue to dodge answering the one relevant issue. That issue is why the Government of Bengal favors holding an independent public inquiry into the circumstances of the shooting, and bring the guilty parties to book. Mr. Snell who interpallated Lord Winterton can be presumed to be in surrender touch with Indian papers to know that a Moulu was presented at Kukathi. What he and along with him the whole of Indian India are anxious to find out to why there is a hush-hush policy pursued about the shooting affair.

First Emmanuel Church At 11 o'clock service Sunday, Pastor Bolden ptached from the text "Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written. The people sat down to eat and drink, and they were murdered; murge, as some of them also murred, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples; and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let that thinketh he fall. Cor 10, 7, 10, 12. Theme: "Idolatrous. Worshish." Pastor Bolden said: These verses seemed to be very appropriate in the light of events, and the attitude taken to-day by people in general, especially the peoples of African descent. When we speak of idolatry and idolatrous worship—the thoughts turn to the history of ancient, and heathen nations, of whom it is said idols dominated their lives and they not the true God. We seldom hear that the teacher of products and writers call attention to the sublime spirit of evil that has produced the colossal idolatrous system that prevails among the people. The great Apostle Paul, in calling attention to this phase of thought in the life of the people of Corinth, placed on exhibition be for them Israel's position in Egypt, Jehovah God's deliverance of them out of Egypt. His protecting care for them for many years in the wilderness and His futuristic way of 'carrying them across the Red Sea, destroying their all this, they murmured, complained quarrelled, and some of them became idolatrous, "as it is written. The people sat down to eat, and drink, and rose up to play." in their prosperity, they seemed to have forgotten that the manna was sent down from heaven by God their Father. And that the refreshing stream, of ever present water, that they through the wilderness was from God. They were only moved to seek out their leader Moses, when Pharaoh's army was pressing them from the rear and the rugged mountains were on either side, and in front of them was the Red Sea. Because they had gone away from God, the spirit of the book hold of them and but for the red Sea, the mob they may have pitched their Godly leader and deliverer. Moses. The present civilization is deifying human energy and in every field of thought and activity, this Goddess may be seen. Human dynamic has and is producing a high-powered mechanical world before the people bow and give adoration. The great value upon money, talent and its power everywhere is to be its power world. The sense of the world. The banking power may be regarded as the coloured golden calf to which not alone but the world turns to Self expression, personal behavior and pure democracy are elicited in human thought that to a tool. And the peoples of the world have made secret and official position in the little duties that they worship.

Compositions in the prestidigitation class, for a variety of instru- “ments and largely scherzo in form, were of a character that caused the judges to make three second: prize awards instead of one, First prise went to Odette Bonner, Roxbury, ‘Mass.; second prizes, J. How- ied Brown, Kansas City, Kan. Richard Oliver, Des Moines, Lowa, and Fred Griffin, Philadelphia; third prize, Mrs. C.

Gray, Los Angeles, Gilwon second place, and George Duckett, Philadelphia, third. "The presentations werecmade hy Charles Lansidel, .a trustee of the Robert Ogden. Association, an organization composed of colored employees of the ‘Wanamaker Philadelphia store, who,was introduced fo the body by John Love, president of the, association. | The -prizes ‘were offered by Mr. Wanamaker a year ago through-the Ogden Asso- ation during the session of the musician's body in Philadelphia, and ne has renewed the prize offer, under slightly different conditjons, for the next year. : ‘The contest aroused great interest among the Negro composers of the'country, as more than two hundred and sixty compositions were Submitted, and virtually every State in the Union was represented. The judges held their mecting in the Wanamaker Store, Philadelphia, in June, when the successful compositions were selected, although the names of the winning composers Were not yet known even to the judges, The judges were Harry T. Burleigh, the famous Negro composer and singer Charlej M, Courboin, official organist of the Wanamaker Store in Philadelphid; Carl Diton,’ presidentsof the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc.; Samuel L. Laciar, music editor of the Phila- deiphia Public|Ledger, and Clarence Cameron White, head of the De- partment of Music of the Institute of West Virginia, ‘The judges consider that Mr. Wanamaker’s offer has done more to arouse tho faterest of colored musicians in creative work than any- ‘thing that has\yet been done along these lines. They found the re- sults of the coktest most encouraging, and, although the large num- ber of classifications and prizes, as well”as:the simple: forms of cer- tain ‘of the classifications, brought in a great many works that had imall chance of wignij rize, still there were many compesisfons Which denoted a vei rable degree of talent for compoucion, while others showed fearning, not only in the science of compo- sition, but also in that of instrumentation for band, orchestra and for smaller combinations of ihstruments. One of the most interesting features of the contest was that it apparently stimulated the idea of composition-in-many quarters where such an idea was entirely new.

I inquired, "In its circulation," he answered, "I notice that free copies are being distributed to the Poster, that they are infiltrated from that," he was asked, "Merely, that The Age has lent itself to the propaganda against the porteurs, unionizing," he returned. The above inference is cited here, not because it is worth repeating, not because this column believes that The Age needs a defender against such an idiotic and false conclusion. In the first instance, the reputation of The Paper and readers of the of correspondents and readers to give serious tar to such a faulty union. In the second instance, if the Age feels that the allegation deserves notice, this column is inclined to believe that its attitude toward Pullman porters, which attitude has been frequently expressed in its editorial column, and by its editor at various meetings of the Pullman Porters Brotherhood, will be reiterated. The only reasons behind the writer's repetition of the innendo are, first, to show the injustice of it secondly, to bring to the attention of the porters, both pro-union and anti-union, some phases of the newspaper business of which some evidently are not well conversant. This column has always maintained that the average Pullman porters, under opposed of newspapers, and should know that the sentiments of a newspaper are expressed through its editorial columns. What is contained in the other part of the paper is merely news and the personal opinions of those under or, over whose names these opinions appear. Hence when John Smith expresses an opinion of William Brown, or what Brown is doing, that is Smith's opinion and not the paper's. The only thing that concerns the paper is whether the matter conforms to the ethics of the paper. Now, in the case of The Age, it must be borne in mind that the publication is not the official organ of any particular group of workers. On the contrary, its columns are opened, in most cases free of charges to workers of all the various groups. In the matter of the Pullman porters, the public opinion of the Pullman porters should have an independent union. It also gives space to those who are opposed to such an organization. This is done in fairness to both groups. Oh yes, there are two groups all right. Coming now to a specific instance. Several weeks since, the Age published an article by a Pullman porter who is opposed to organization, from the outside. It is not my privilege to know who purchased an unusual number of copies, of that week's issue, and had them distributed to the porters; nor am I concerned, with who did it, the organization, with whom it was involved. The Age was just as much justified in giving space to that article as it was in giving space, to the article that it published, several weeks later from the Pullman Porters Brotherhood organizer. That there were more copies bought because of the opposer's article is not a matter for which the paper should be held responsible. Now, despite what the personal opinions of an editor might be regarding the publication of a newspaper, like any other medium of publication, that is not supported from some special fund, must sell its papers and advertising space to live. It is only those organs of publication which have a special program to put over, and are financially subsidized by the organizations interested, which can afford to be biased in their news columns. Even the wealthy dailies publish articles in their news columns that are afterward scored in their editorial pages. This is not intended as a defence of The Age, but rather as information on certain phases of the newspaper game. Such expressions from the pro-union porters, as cited above, are likely to cause more harm than good. Those who believe that they should have a union, need to court good-will, not ennity. PICKED UP AMONG NEW JERSEY PULLMANITES Milford College, Chelsea, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Cresasy of 63 Claremont avenue, Jersey City, is spending her vacation at the A. W. C. A.

A. Abrams and L. Hodge two of the principals in the controversy, and well known. Pullman men, have, long been identified with the church. And without or without permission, they are chiefs of the rupture, from comments heard, the charges and counter-charges, that have found their way into print will not help the progress of the church any. Persona who know these men, and who have been the affairs of the little house of worship, will view with sincere, regret, the present unpleasant situation.
