Incidentally, Mr. Stern spoke in high praise of the work of Miss Anne Lawson, principal of P. S 119, declaring that she was bound to go higher in the school system, and that she was proud to have been instrumental in her elevation to the school principalship. The career of Mr. Stern has been one of great interest. He is besides being vice-president of the Board for his sixth term, the senior member from Manhattan, having been on the Board for twenty-five years. For 17 years he has been the head-of a great fraternal order, four terms as grand master of the district grand lodge, and thirteen years as grand master of the national Independent Order of Free Sons of Israel. Mr. Stern is the only grand master to ever serve four terms as district grand master. With One Firm 50 Years. In his business career, Mr. Stern has won the unique distinction of having been associated with one business connection for fifty years. Beginning in 1876 as an arrend boy at $1.50 per week with the firm, of Kerbs and Spies, at 54th street and 2nd avenue, Mr. Stern remained associated with Mr. Kerbs through a merger of a number of firms, including his own, into the General Cigar Co. with which he was connected for forty years, rising to a directorship. Mr. Kerbs finally retired from active business life, and until his death on May 11, 1919, Mr. Sterns was his representative. Then Mr. Sterns resigned with the General Clear Court to manage the business affairs of the Kerbs estate for the widow and daughter. He was a member of the Governor's Reconstruction Commission; for ten years a director of Mt Sinai Hospital, and a director of the, Mt. Sinai Training School for Nurses. Many Colored Employees. Mr Stern's office is in the Gayetty Theatre Building at 1547 Broadway and here he directs the activities of a large and busy organization. One feature that strikes attention in this building is that every house employee, on both day and night staffs, are colored men, some of whom have Boy Flags Train And Prevents An Accident Swedesboro, N. J.—Richard Overly, 13, proved to be a real hero on Friday, January 20. While walking along the tracks of the railroad he noticed a break of about eight feet in the tracks. Knowing that a train was due in short time, the boy ran to the nearest house, and got a table, cloth, then he ran back to the tracks and started waving the tablecloth. The engineer of the Salom-Camden passenger train saw the flagging, touched his train and, got out and integrated. The boy was thanked by all the passengers. Dorothy's heroism was given its unmerited of praise when on Monday, January 24, he was the guest of honor at a meeting in Swedesboro High School which was addressed by Maye A. A. Hunter of Swedesboro and Linda K. Marr, superintendent of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad. Mr. Marr presented Richard with two purses, one from the railroad company, and one from the many passengers on the train which came from wrecking. School sessions were dismissed for the session, and more than 350 children, members of the Klion Club, and others marched to the building for the ceremony, where the mayor and railroad office, Richard told modestly briefly how he discovered the train and flagged the Camden-bound express at Ivy station with the red tablecloth. been with Mr. Stern for years And a number of colored men are employed in other buildings controlled by Mr. Stern, including the apartment building at 2013 Fifth avenue, where he lived for thirty-eight years. When young Stern started as an errand boy with Kerbs & Spiess in 1876, he gave his mother 90 cents of his weekly pay, keeping only 60 cents for carfare, and he is particularly proud of the fact that this business connection has continued unbroken through more than fifty years. During his twenty-five years of service with the Board of Education, Mr. Stern has seen the teaching force increased to 34,000, with other employees totalling around 38,000. The program rendered at the Parents' Association meeting on January 19, included a song by the public good club five receptions on character by various pupils, and the rendering of three numbers by the Dixie Jouillee Singers under direction of Miss Eva Jessie. Chairman Moore presided. CANDIDATES FOR BISHOPRIC FROM N. Y. CHURCHES Spearman, Gumbs, Downs In Field For Higher Church Honors New York members of the A. M. E.

Y., SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1928 ```markdown ``` FEDERAL COUNCIL URGES THAT ALL LAW BE ENFORCED Negro Delegates Win In Fight For 14th and 15th Amendments Cleveland, O.—Negro delegates to the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America won a decided victory here on Tuesday when they forced the adoption of a resolution calling for the strict enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments, as well as the 18th, contrary to the wishes of many of the southern white delegates. The original resolution covered only the 18th (the prohibition law), but Bishop George C. Clement of Louisville, Dr. Joseph I. Vance of Detroit and Dr. Charles C. Morrison of Chicago made a strong fight for inclusion of the 14th and 15th as well, and the fight was carried over from Monday to Tuesday before it was settled. The resolution as adopted reads: "The question of enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment has become an outstanding moral issue in America to-day, and has raised the question of obedience to the fundamental law of our land, including all amendments to the Constitution, particularly the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. "We therefore, recommend that the executive committee of this body go on record as indorsing an honest enforcement of the amendments to the Constitution of the United States, including especially the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth."

Brown, 50 years, old, former Philadelphia banker and business man of New York, died at his late home, 580 St. Nicholas avenue, Tuesday afternoon, January 24, following a long illness from a complication of diseases. Mr. Brown's condition had been steadily growing worse since the first of the year and his death was not unexpected. The late Mr. Brown was born in Philadelphia and educated in the public schools of that city and the Spencerian Business College. His active business career began in Norfolk, Va., when, in 1909, he established the Brown's Saving Bank, which a few years ago changed its name to the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, of Norfolk, and which is today one of the strongest financial institutions of the race. A few years later he established a bank in Newport News, Va., and during the early part of the world war became a partner, with Andrew Stevens, in what was known as the Brown and Stevens Bank. On the death of the late Philip A. Payton jr., Mr. Brown was one of the organizers of the Philip A. Payton jr. Company, which took over the reality holdings of the late Mr. Payton in New York. Had Theatre Loares Mr. Brown was about this time that Mr. Brown became interested in the theatrical profession. He formed the Lafayette Players and was the directing head of a string of theatres in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk. During the depression of 1920-21, Mr. Brown lost heavily on his theatrical ventures and was finally forced to abandon this phase of his business. It was at this time that he sold his interest in the Norfolk and Newport News banks and concentrated his attention on the Philadelphia institution. But this bank was also hard hit by the depression and failed in 1925. After settling his affairs in Philadelphia, Mr. Brown moved to New York and opened a real estate office at 332 Lenox avenue. It was his desire to recoup his losses and return to Philadelphia where he hoped to make good the losses of the depositors of Brown and Stevens Bank. But his health began failing shortly after his arrival in New York, becoming steadily worse until his death. Simple funeral services were conducted from the chapel of Duncan Brothers, 2303 Seventh avenue, Friday and the body shipped to Philadelphia for burial. The late Mr. Brown is survived by his widow, Estelle Smith Brown, and a host of distant relatives and friends. Mrs. Brown received hundreds of messages of condolence. Mrs. Estelle Caution Injured When Run Over By Automobile Mrs. Estelle Caution, superintendent of the haty Ferguson Home for Unmarried Mothers, was knocked down and painfully injured by an autoist on Seventh avenue at 150th street Friday evening, January 20. Mrs. Caution was enroute to visit her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. William Kelly, in their new apartment at 226 West 150th street. She had just alighted from a Fifth avenue bus when struck. The driver of the car stopped and offered to take the injured woman to Harlem Hospital. Although dazed, Mrs. Caution did not think she had been seriously hurt and instead of going to the hospital was driven to her daughter's home. There it was discovered she had sustained a deep gash in the head and bruises in the back and leg. Her son-in-law was hurriedly summoned from the office of The Amsterdam News, where he is editor, and crushed her to the office of Dr. E. P. Roberts on West 130th street. Dr. Roberts stopped the flow of blood from the wound in the head and then sent his patient to Dr. Peter Murray who took five stitches in the scalp wound. Mrs. Caution is reported resting comfortably at the Katy Ferguson Home and has been given a leave of absence from her duties at the girls' home so that she may completely recover before resuming her duties. ```markdown ``` The Rev.

Spanish-Speaking Citizens Are Up In Arms Over Slurs Against Their Group Made By Harlem Newspaper The Cubam, Porto Rican and other Spanish speaking citizens of New York City are up in arms over publication of an article alleged to have been written by Edgar M.

Gray published last week and called 'The Spanish Menace in Harlem.' "We feel that the Negro press is striving to bring about an anxiety among all races and particularly the darker races with the native American Negro. But publications of such articles as the one mentioned above only create a disharmony between native American Negroes and Spanish speaking people in this country. The charges made against us comes from a man who has some grievance against an individual of the Spanish race and it was hate that arrogated this outward. "We do not care to answer individually the many vile and malicious offenses made against us but would say that we, like the American Negroes, ask that the whole Spanish group in New York be not judged by the conduct of a few individuals. (Signed) "ALEXANDER DOMPEZ, "Chairman." Editor Disavows Article. The committee is reported to have called upon the editor of the publication in which the original story appeared. They were informed by him that he was out of the city at the time his paper went to press and did not know of the article until the paper had been printed. He also claimed that he had conducted an investigation among his staff and found that the article, although appearing under the name of Edgar M. Gray, had not, been written by Mr. Gray, but by an outsider and handed to Mr. Gray for publication. FLORIDA JURY GIVES NEGRO BOY $15,000 Largest Verdict Against Florida Road Ever Re- ceived By Negro Jacksonville, Fla.—Attorney S D McGill won a notable victory here in the Circuit Court at DuVal County, when a jury gave his client a verdict of $15,000 for the loss of a foot in an action against the Florida East Coast Railway Co. The accident occurred in August, 1925, and Alfonso Utrola, a 10-year old Negro lad was the victim. The boy was returning to Jacksonville from Manhattan Beach, Fla., a summer resort, and as he attempted to board the train, a sudden movement of the cars jerked him to the ground and threw him so that his foot was crushed under the car wheels. It had to be amputated above the ankle. The railway company had a galaxy of high-priced lawyers, who attempted to show negligence on the boy's part. But the jury, after hearing the evidence, decided differently and the verdict was the largest ever given a Negro against a Florida railroad.

Miss Knutick testified that as she was coming out of the court room with her father and mother she became afraid of violence on the part of the 200 or more Norwegians who were spectators at the court because she thought that they were enraged at her since her testimony had caused the maid to be found guilty.

She went to the court room that day out of curiosity. Mrs. Jean Knight, the next witness, corroborated Mrs. Brinson's story, as did Augustus Bryant, Mrs. Bryant and Lacille Johnson. The latter named witness testified that she was coming out of the court room, when she heard the police officer say to the Khinticks, "Come on down! we will not let the 'migger' harm you." The Court asked Mrs. Johnson if she believed that the Jenkins woman was being persecuted. She replied no. To the surprise of everyone, the court pronounced Mrs. Brinson guilty, and remanded her pending investigation. : eDiai 4 Soe eee ee Te I ‘ToReceive Harmon Awards In Race Relations ivson For Work Dn Relations Division For ie Only Division Open To White and Colored Peo- by : . : “ple Gives Regular Award To Jeanes Fund Head, With Special Award To Rosenwald . ae i oe Announcement’ of the Harmon Foundation iaward in race relations, which was not made public iat time of the regular awards, discloses that the ‘main.award of $500 and a gold medal goes to James ‘Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes Fund“and of the John F.

Being a parent is second to none in importance to you, the race and the nation. Being a parent presupposes on your part a sound body and mind and cotltinous study of the’ ways of children and oyur own. limitations Gildren Hike to occupy “the centre of the stage” Do you coddle your baby? Do you ‘always lie down with the child. in order that it may be “nursed to sleep? Some parents care always fearful jest this orithat will make the child sick, It is easy to'develop the hab- it of sickness in a child. Johnny ‘is never left to. himself, for mother fears that Johnny will get hurt, So Johnny grows Gp lacking~the self- Telianee neccessary for’ efficient man- hood. =e Now our Little Johriny snay" be the only child and 20 every wish and lim be has fa granted 1¢ will not ‘be 30 when Johnny reaghes adult- hood, Or again Johnny's individual- ity ‘is hedged-in and thwarted — by “Don't do that,” or “Stop that.” Now, how. will he ever‘learn for himself what is the best thing for him? Does Johnny look up to_ Papa as the “Boss”? In such cases FEAR father than respect is created. Deo you respect the child? Is Papa, Johnny's "pal," and Mother, Jane's companion? We are not unmindful of the fact ‘that a bright active child is a wear fand tear upon the thother who must ‘be with him all day. But this-is one of the prices you must pay for math- erhood, Is it not better to have a child who is forever asking questions and “getting into things” than to have one who finds little in his ¢n- vironment to stimulate him? One of the signs of normality is this charact- eritle of asking guertions and get Ming into things.” Ygt we are not a8 ing there are not fimits to this. Your child may be “very, bright,” and s0 it pleases your vanity tc “show him off” to your friends. May: be he is awakened from a sound sleep eleven o'clock’ at night to re cite “Hiawatha” to an admiring throng. Or you say in “his presence “how cute he is” after he has ut tered one of the latest and mos sophisticated phrates of | slangdom Then there are those pyyents whe continually teil the child, We is atop- id, He may take you-at_ your word Tt is easier to “hurt the ‘Teelings” of a child or make him conceited than it is to do'the same thing to an adult To say in a child's presence that he is just Tike his father o- that Jane is just like her mother when he o she hay made a mistake encourage: the child to secretly disrespect the parent as well as_ making it; mare difficult for the child to perform th task the next time. Now, when your child asks ques tions and you attemmt to answer him b> stire that you have his adtentior and keep’ it alive tntil you have fin ished. Children’s attention fluctuates It ip not possible for them to con centrate on one thing very ong Anything about the room, or th slightest noise, may distract him Therefore don't chastise the chil for his inattention, but yourself fo your inability to hold it. Mayb your explanation is not in languag that he understands. Every questio -a child asks should receive an ans wer--a truthful answer." Even if th the question relates to sex you shoul answer it truthfully and fearlessly Why lie? What is ther to fear? Th child will Jearn. the half-teuth ver; soon from others—particularly if h goes to school. And then he wil felieve and maybe know that .yo have lied to him. Children becom interested in sex from three year of age on. Nor should yeu den the child an answer with all too com mon. “Don't bother me.” A child hay eyes, nose, mouth, ear: hands and feet and a brain, too- isn't ‘that strange? Well, do yo assist him in finding the use of thes things? Do you over:assist him? I the be trying to make an. implement do you show him HOW, ot do. yo make it for him? : Does your child have an opportun ity to olay with children of his ow age? Or is he -with you ALL th time, "I_never let Johnny out « mv sight," savs one thother. Ani she believer that is the best thin for him. Children reared in suc an atmosphere become “old” befor their time, or they develop a sens af inferiority ce hildren have vivid inmagination and thus.are given to what appear to grownams as exacgeration 0 plain fies, Now if Johnny tells yo he saw a horse as biz as the howe instead of “whipping him. why. nc take him out in the street und sho him a horse arid a house and let hit S.

T0 BE CIVEN TO PRES Dr. Shepard Makes State ment That Data Must _ First Be Checked Durham, N. C—In a statement for the press of the country, Dr Jamez &. hepard, president of the North Carolina Collegeior Nerves who Inst month was elected | chair- man of fre Durham Fact-Finding Conference, responds to numerous inquires coming from all sections of’ the country requesting detailed information concerning the findings of the conference. One of the: In- quiries that the statement aims to answer is that of a prominent Negro publicist who asks, “Where are the facts?" Dr, Shepard's statement is as follows: “Brom the great number of 1n- quiries coming from both faces as to the findings of the Durham Facj- Finding Comterence, it appears that the public looked forward to the broadcasting of the material present- ed at the conference in the man- ner usually characteristiciof our a tiona) meetings, The Durham Coo- ference, however, unlike most of our national gatherings was not simply a forum for the presentation of opin- ton, but a serious effort to determine ‘the present-day status of the Amer- ‘can Negro. “From the very nature of the case, ‘therefore, before the release of any of the material presented, the facts had carefully to be reviewed both by the authors aid the committecs appointed for that purpose, and cs- sential facts weighed and measured not only for their values as facts but as to their worth to the Negro public. This review is about to be completed’ and a summary of the findings of the conference stripped: ‘of all elements of mere opinion, will shortly be issued to the Negro press, followed by more detailed state- ments, “In addition to statements ior the Press, arrangements have nearly been completed for publication of a vol- ume to contain the documents pre- sented at the” mectidg. By this medns the public will be placed in possession of a gallection of authen- tic facts reqaialng the Negro in America which, for their wide range, care of collection and authenticity, will hardly be equalled by anything at present available in print.” Dr. Shepard. who conceived the idea of the conierence, was made its chairman at its opening <ession Shines May Soon Be Legally Gotten On Sunday Albany.

Even the latter could see the absurdity of the proceeding and so voted against exclusion. But twentyone Republicans and thirty nine Democrats, with the Farmer Labor Senator Shipstead, voted to keep Colonel Smith on the outside. Democrats from the South must have laughed in their sleeves at the suggestion that any little thing like fraud and corruption could be sustained as ground for excluding a Senator with credentials from his state authorities. It is the same sort of intolerance that Negroes are protesting against on the part of the white press. The majority of Porto Ricans coming to this country are reputable, law abiding citizens. Because of their language and foreign origin they are slow to affiliate with the rest of the community, but they make good citizens and use their votes to advantage. Their morals are apt to average up with the rest of the community. they leave their apartments. If they cannot have their shoes shined on Sunday, they feel as if a serious part of their toilet had been neglected. In the interest of neatness the general wellbeing of the community it is essential that all good citizens should have their Sunday shines. The church-goers will then feel more in harmony with that part of the services which enjoins the shiining light. We think that no serious harm will be done to the Sunday closing law by passing this amendment. THE AGE READERS' FORUM Endorsing the advice of thoughtful economists in the slogan, "Back to the Farm," the Savannah Tribune said: The rural district is the natural environment of our people. Since the declaration of freedom, in large numbers, they have invaded urban of a great grocery store in imaginations. He says, "There are 000 colored people in our neighborhood. They spend at least $1,500 week for groceries. That is $30 per week and $1,560,000 per year. I'll open a store." He opens and a year instead of having done $1,5,000 worth of business, he has leased and the shiining has sold. The action taken by the Senate in this case, while it may be of doubtful constitutionality, makes a political, precedent which may be invoked on much stronger ground in the near future. If the Republican Senators had the backbone and courage which distinguished their predecessors in the days of the Chandlers and Forakers, they would exclude every Senatorial aspirant who presented credentials, tainted with fraud and corruption from the states where the suffrage is suppressed and where no Republican is allowed to vote for the candidate of his choice. Blease and Steck were the two Democrats who saw the danger of this precedent and voted against it. The other Democrats saw only the party advantage to be gained by keeping a Republican out of the place to which he had been elected. HEFFLIN AND DEMOCRACY. Thomas J. Hefflin, who occupies a seat as United States Senator from Alabama, last week gained front page notoriety by a violent-and abusive attack on the Catholic Church and the candidacy of Governor Smith of New York for the Presidential nomination. He flouted the the attempt of the Democratic leader to rebuke his intolerance and bigotry, and while the caucus of the Senators of the party indorsed Senator Robinson as leader, it utterly failed to rebuke Hefflin as he should have been rebuked. As matters stand, it would appear that the Alabama Senator dominates his party, and more nearly represents its true attitude than the titular leader, to whom the caucus gave a perfunctory indorsement. That was the view taken of the episode by the New York World, a staunch advocate of Democratic principles, which declared that "on the fundamentals of free government, which Hefflin challenged, there can be no compromise." It and further: "If the Democratic party, confronted with a direct insult to all it professes, is afraid to declare itself and must resort to ignoble parliamentary evasions, then the day of its usefulness is over." This was strong language for a regular Democratic organ to use, but it is in line with the policy of the World, which is to "fight demagogues of all parties." Hefflin is the most dangerous type of demagogue, and the kind that dominates the policy of the party, despite the timid opposition of its more liberal members. What actuated the twenty-one Republican Senators in their suicidal policy is hard to tell. When so strict a construer of the constitution as Borah acquiesced in such a revolutionary proceeding; it is difficult to determine the course of reasoning, if any, which impelled these so-called Republicans to deny recognition of the credentials presented by Colonel Smith, as the representative of a great State of the West. This recognition which is invariably granted to the rotten boroughs of the South, where oligarchy reigns, supreme, was denied to a fellow Republican, although the acceptance of his credentials would not have interfered with the investigation of the charges brought against him, nor his expulsion if found to be disqualified. The whole affair smacks of too much submission to Southern methods, "Sen- atatorial Lynch Law," as the Herald Tribune aptly phrased it. It may be counted as another victory for Southern statesmanship, but it marks a political precedent which may in time become a boomerang. PORTO RICANS AS CITIZENS To understand the type of Southern statesman that Hefflin represents, one has but to glance at the record of his turbulent career since he was first sent to Congress in 1905. He entered the Senate in 1924 and has gained notoriety through his injection of religious discussion into his speeches and his advocacy of jumcrow legislation. He introduced a bill in the House requiring the separation of the races on street cars in Washington, and attempted to eject a Negro passenger from one of the cars. As the latter landed in the street, Hefflin shot at him with a revolver, but missed his target while the bullet struck a sportsman from Kentucky. He is a Scottish Rite Mason, a Shriner, an Elk, a Woodman of the World and a Knight of Pythias. Needless to say, he has the undivided support of the Ku Klux Klan. A sensational article, entitled "The Spanish Menace in Harlem," was printed in a local race, journal last week, which was so sweeping and rabid in its language as to defeat its purpose. This article cited a number of cases in the criminal courts involving outrages committed upon school girls. The writer used the misconduct of those accused as warranting an indictment of the Spanish immigrant to this country, as "a product of the most debased environment . . . with moral ideals and ideas more rudimentary than the most savage peasant of the time of Cromwell and the English Restoration." This characterization was applied to the Cubans, Porto Ricans and other Spanish speaking residents of the community. Those who have come in contact with the Porto Ricans on their native soil know that this indictment is without substantial basis. The natives of the Spanish speaking islands of the Caribbean have many good qualities, not the least of which are their amiability and the respect accorded to womanhood, shown by their zealous guardianship of young girls. Since the American occupation, covering some twenty-five years, there has been an increase of fifty per cent in the population, a wiping out of epidemics of disease, reduction of illiteracy, and the spread of rural schools and industrial education. This is the sort of man whom the Democratic members of the Senate fear to offend by rebuking his spirit of religious intolerance and his outrageous attacks on men and women of the Catholic faith. It shows the depths of infamy to which the spirit of race hatred and religious intolerance can precipitate both an individual and a political party. So long as the Democratic party submits to the domination of the Hefflin stripe, it will continue to be in a hopeless minority in national affairs, incapable of inspiring confidence in the voters or of becoming an instrument of usefulness in politics. The sooner demagogues like Hefflin are relegated to the rear, the brighter will be the prospects of the Democratic party in the next Presidential campaign. That the domination by the United States has not been an unalloyed blessing was shown in an article published some time ago by Luis Munoz Marin, in which he instanced the introduction of segregation of the races to disturb the admirable relationship which had hitherto existed. Before the American invasion Porto Rico was notable as "a laboratory, for experiment in social ethics, as there you find the nearest approach to social equality of this sort within the supposedly permanent territory of the United States." White, Negro and Mulatto lawyers, physicians, journalists, poets, politicians, philosophers lead a common professional and spiritual life." MAKING POLITICAL PRECEDENT. By an overwhelming vote of sixty-one for twenty-three, the United States Senate decided that Frank L. Smith, who was elected as Senator from Illinois, was not entitled to a seat and that a vacancy exists in the representation of Illinois in the Senate. This action was based upon the report of the Reed investigating committee, which charged that the use of money in Colonel Smith's, primary campaign "was contrary to sound public policy, harmful to the dignity and honor of the Senate, dangerous to the perpetuity of free government and taints with fraud and corruption" the credentials which he presented. This is the Porto-Rican on his native soil, as he was unspoiled before the introduction of American prejudice and racial segregation. Because certain Spanish speaking individuals from that island come to New York and are brought before the courts on criminal charges is no ground for indicting the That is a rather ridiculous proposition to be adopted by a body, the "dignity and honor" of which can stand the presence ; whole race. It is the same sort of intolerance that Negroes are protesting against on the part of the white press. The majority of Porto Ricaans coming to this country are reputable, law abiding citizens. Because of their language and foreign origin they are slow to affiliate with the rest of the community, but they make good citizens and use their votes to advantage. Their morals are apt to average up with the rest of the community. TALKING IN MILLIONS There is a tendency on the part of our financiers and business men to talk in millions, when the actual achievements of the race can be more accurately counted by dropping a cipher or so. For instance, a special dispatch from the World Bureau, at Chicago, printed in the New York World, bore the blatant headlines: "Chicago Negroes Thrive. Will Soon Open $300,000 Community House; 2,000,000 Given to Charity." All this was based on the announcement made by Jesse Binga, banker, concerning the dedication of the aforesaid community house on the South Side. Mr. Binga was further quoted as follows: There is a tendency on the part of our financiers and business men to talk in millions, when the actual achievements of the race can be more accurately counted by dropping a cipher or so. For instance, a special dispatch from the World Bureau, at Chicago, printed in the New York World, bore the blatant head-llnes: "Chicago Negroes Thrive.

All this was based on the announcement made by Jesse Binga, banker, concerning the dedication of the aforesaid community house on the South Side, Mr. Binga was further quoted as follows: "Chicago's colored population pays taxes on $40,000,000 worth of property. Its bank deposits last year were close to $40,000,000. It has two banks managed and manned entirely by colored people. "Chicago has seven big insurance companies owned and managed by colored people for colored policy holders. Last year's premiums totaled $1,000,000. Colored business enterprises here represent invested capital totaling $4,000,000. "Chicago's colored folk gave $2,000,000 to charity last year. They are sending their children to college." When an enthusiastic realtor placed the value of the property owned by Nerroes in Harlem at over a hundred millions, more conservative estimates brought it down to a little more than half that sum. Probably the same reduction, or even a greater one, would be necessary to get the Chicago banker's figures within hailing distance of the acts. If this optimistic banker takes the same rose colored view of his banking assets his surplus would soon exceed his capital stock. There is no good object to be served by exaggerating the progress made by the race in material acquisitions. Chicago's colored population may be paying excess on a large assessment of property, but we doubt very much if it is as much as a quarter of the sum named by Mr. Binga. Its bank deposits of forty millions may have been figured by some process of multiplication unknown to us. As for the two millions given to charity, it would need a great deal of specialized and itemized accounting to support such statement. This talking in the millions is not consistent with the practice of appealing to outsiders to raise money in a great emergency.

A petition is being circulated, asking the Legislature to amend Section 2143 of the Statutes of New York State, so that a devout church-goer may secure a polish for his slices before attending divine worship on the Sabbath Day. This is couched in an amendment to the Sunday closing law, which forbids any labor on Sunday, except that which is of a A petition is being circulated, asking the Legislature to amend Section 2143 of the Statutes of New York State, so that a devout church-goer may secure a polish for his shoes before attending divine worship on the Sabbath Day. This is couched in an amendment to the Sunday closing law, which forbids any labor on Sunday, except that which is of a necessary character: Under this head come drug stores, delicatessens, between certain hours, news stands and stationery stores. It is now proposed that shog shining parlors be permitted to ply their trade on Sundays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. in cities having one million or more population. It is argued that the shining of footwear is a necessary operation for the comfort and dignity of those good citizens who wish to attend church and to present a suitable appearance at that function. Many of these citizens are prohibited by their physical proportions from performing the shoe shining operation themselves, and are obliged to delegate that task to a professional. The professional polishers are not averse to keeping their places open for a few hours in the forenoon to serve customers of this type and thus add to their weekly profits. The operation, it is claimed, will not entail any serious fracture of Sabbath observance, involving no noise nor clanking of machinery. In fact Sunday is selected as the day when the average citizen is more likely to realize the need of having his shoes polished and to possess the leisure for having the work done. The day when every good citizen had a shoe polishing stand and attended to the shining of his own shoes is past. Lack of space and a convenient location has made the home shoe cleaning kit a thing of the past.

DesVerney, organizer of the meeting. Senator Copeland said in part that he gloried deeply in the courage, manhood and manina of the Pullman porters to carry on an organization of this kind. He also said, substantiating the remarks of A. Philip Randolph, "Yes, there was a new white man, and I represent that new white man, standing for equal justice for blacks as well as white in every line of society, politically, economically and otherwise." On Monday, the Brotherhood held a Labor Conference, attended by some of the dignitaries of Washington, in order to show the interest and aspiration of the Pullman porter, which was very well attended. At that meeting there was a labor committee organized for the purpose of propagating Washington and its vicinities about, the Pullman porters On Tuesday A. Philip Randolph and his colleagues, including Mary Church Terrell, called on the President. He, too, expressed his admiration for the new idea of the Negro organized to better his economic standing within the Nation. He said that not only himself but the American public glorified in the courage and conviction of the Pullman porters to organize for better wages and better conditions and manhood rights Perry Parker journeyed all the way from Chicago to hold a meeting in Washington, seemingly to throw a damper on what the Brotherhood had tried to accomplish. With him he had H. W. Lucas, D. O. Smith, S H Webb, Rev. M. Robinson, C. C Webb, W R Banks to attend a dinner that was paid for by the Pullman Company, in order to send out resolutions condemning Randolph and the Brotherhood. It is to my mind preposterous for Negroes living in the Twentieth Century to carry on such propaganda against such deserving organizations. The world has grown considerably in the past two or three decades. The glory of science is that it is freeing to, the soul, breaking the mental manacles, getting the brain out of bondage, giving courage thought, tilling the wood with mercy and justice and joy. Science found agriculture ploughing with sticks, reaping with a sickle, commerce at the mercy of the treacherous waves and inconsistent wind, a world without a book without schools, man dying. The authority of reason employing his ingenuity in the manufacturing of instruments of torture in building inquisitions and cathedrals. It found the land filled with multicolored monks, with persecuting protestors and the burners of men. It found the world full of fear, ignorance upon its knees; credulity the greatest virtue. Women treated like beasts of burden; cruelty the only means of reformation. It found the world at the mercy of disease and famine, men trying to read the facts in the stars and to tell their fortunes by signs and wonders, genetals thinking to conquer their enemies by making the sign of the cross, by telling the story. It found all history full of petty and ridiculous falsehood and the Almighty was supposed to spend most of His fine turning sticks into snakes, drowning boys for swimming on Sunday, and killing little children for the purpose of converting their parents. It found the world filled with slaves and tyrants, the people in all countries down-ridden, half-naked, half-starved, without reason in the world. Such was the condition of men when the morning of science dawned upon its brain and before he had heard the sublime declaration that the universe is governed by law. Yet Mr Perry Parker and his weak-kneed, spineless, unsophisticated stoed pigions, barking dogs, will simply carry out their master's voice against a poor defenseless group. At first, I thought of putting him in the class with Helfin, but after all he is a great dal wor, for he is supposed to be a black man with black colleagues, opposing and tracing to keep down the progress of his own people, keeping brand out of the months of Negro children, keeping them from acquiring education. Must we tolerate such an individual? Is it true that he has long since outlived his usefulness? I would say yes, and his other spineless brothers. It is only natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are about to shut our eyes against the powerful truth and listen to the sounds of that siren until she transforms us into hearts. Is this the part of wise men engaged in a great, ardous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who have eyes, see not, having ears, hear not the those which so nearly cannot our temporal salvation? Get much sunshine in your all thorough have their Sunday shines. The church-goers will then feel more in harmony with that part of the services which enjoins the shiining light. We think that no serious harm will be done to the Sunday closing law by passing this amendment. For my part whatsoever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst and provine for it. They tell us that the human porter is satisfied and does not need organization. They tell us that they are weak and will organize. They tell us that we must grow stronger before we think of organizing, but when shall we be stronger? Will it be next week, or next year, or the next decade? when we are totally disarmed and when we are crushed beneath the soil of the earth, will we be strong enough then? Shall we acquire the means of效ual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantoms of hoping until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make strength out of these means which the God of Nature has placed in our power. Fourteen thousand Pallman porters, armed with organization in the holy cause of liberty and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible. By no force shall our enemy win against. Besides, Mr. Parker, we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations and peoples and who will raise up friends to fight out battles for us. The battle, Mr. Parker, is not to the strong alone. It is to the vigilant, the active and the brave. And besides, we have no fear. If we are base enough to believe it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but victory for the Brotherhood. S. F₂. GRAIN. Field Representing School Sleeping, Car Girl Brings New York To Door Eduor The New York Acc: Permit me to extend to you my congratulations on your successful candidacy as an Alderman in the City of New York. I was very happy when I learned that you had won. I cannot begin to tell you with what pleasure we look forward to. The Age's coming each week. It brings New York right to our doors down here in the heart of the South and makes me feel that I am not altogether exiled from home and friends. I do not know what we would do without it, as it keeps us in touch with what our folks are doing in all sections of the county. Mrs. Harris derives a great deal of pleasure from Mr. White's Musie Page. (Revi) JEROME D HARRIS, Jacksonville Fla. HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association "It we had only known someone that he was ill, we could have done so much more for him" Perhaps we could have saved him. How often we hear this spoken by some relatives of a sick person. Time after time, an illness is not discovered until it is fairly well advanced, so that recovery, it is to be attained, is a long and tedious process. If all persons will learn the importance of regular health examinations and get the habit of having one every year, much sickness can be prevented and much can be cared if discovered while it is still in its early stages. Everyone should have a complete physical examination by a competent doctor every year. The doctor will be able to discover any physical defects, there may be. He will advise treatment to cure them, thus preventing more serious trouble. If, on the other hand, there are no defects, it is reassuring to have a physician tell you positively that you are in good physical condition. Cancer, heart, disease, tuberculosis, kidney troubles and many other ailments are curable if discovered in their early stages. It is particularly important to have yearly health examinations as a safeguard against these serious diseases. Sunlight Sunshine is one of Nature's mighty gifts to human beings. It helps keep one healthy and is a great factor in caring many diseases. Everyone should get his share. One of the best things about sunlight is that it is free and abundant. Nature offers us plenty. It is up to us to see that we all need How much sunlight do you get every day? Try to get outdoors for some time, even if it is not longer than few minutes. Take a walk in the sunshine during your moon hour. On pleasant week end try to get outdoors where you can enjoy the sunlight as much of the time as possible. Try setting creature, such as walking, playing ball housing or some other kind which keeps you outdoors. Endorsing the advice of thoughtful economists in the slogan, "Back, to the Farm," the Savannah Tribune said: The rural district is the natural environment of our people. Since the declaration of freedom, in large numbers, they have invaded urban societies. This has been greatly noted within the past four decades, but especially so beginning fifteen years ago. There are several causes impelling such a change, mainly lack of law protection, meagre school facilities and low wages. The renters and laborers were the first to imbibe the urban idea. It was more difficult for those holding property to do likewise, but many of them sacrificed and did so. This unrest is being stabilized and a return to the farm can with good grace be fully advocated. This is accentuated especially, by the recent report of reduced laffness in the South with a lynchness record for Georgia during the past year. Then, too, there is an increasing sentiment to improve school facilities and give more for its maintenance, as can be seen by the first liberal sum appropriated for Negro education by the last legislature, and the favorable attitude of the school commissions in many of the counties in the state. These facts impel us to heartily enter into the slogan, "Back to the Farm," and not only that but to become owners. The encouragement of farm ownership is a good thing, but the farmer must be assured an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of his labor. This should include protection for his life and property and adequate school facilities. . A Newport, R. I. letter in the Boston Chronicle told how a former Congregational pastor became an English harrier. It said: The Rev. Aaron T. Peters, who was pastor of the Union Congregational Church several years ago and resigned to go to Oxford University for further study, has been admitted to the practice of law, having been "called" by the Middle Temple, one of the four iums of court in London. He received his bachelor of dress at Yale University, and during his ministry at the Union Church studied at Brown University, receiving the degree of master of arts. Mr. Peters is still in the ministry. The Christian World of London prints an excellent photograph of him in connection with its report of the recent annual assembly of the Congregational Union at Newcastle-on-Tyne. Mr. Peters read a paper at one of the sessions on the general topic. The Recognition of Cars in Present-Day Experiences, which the World says, was particularly interesting as an attempt to interpret the theme from the point of view of the black race. The exceptional feature of this case is that after being admitted to practice law, Mr. Peters remained in the ministry. Maybe his practice is confined to canon law. * Denning the difference between "Vision and Visionary," the -Philadelphia Christian Recorder. A visionary is one who gets a motion in his head, sees something in his imagination, and imagines he can do it, tries it without taking the ordinary precautions and fails. For instance, we heard a man say the other day that he bought a church for $25,000 and counted on each African Methodist giving him a dollar "Why said he "it is as easy as anything." We have 25,000 members of each one gives $1 we shall have $25,000. Let the bishop instruct each presiding elder to instruct each pastor to get $1 within the next 30 days from each member, and we shall have enough." Or course we could not convince the brother. But old Father Ime will confuse him. Again, a young man who has been 12 years in the Pullman service wants to run a grocery store. He has saved $3,000. He has vision home as possible. Select the simmerest room for your living room and the next sunset for your bedroom. Roll up the shades. If the healthful rays of the sun shine through your windows. Do the same thing at your office Sunlight is good for health Get your share This Week's Tidbits 1.1.2 cups of prepared cake flour sifted 3 tablespoons of shortenme, melted 2 oz of Chocolate melted 3.4 cup of milk Gradually beat the sugar into the egg, add the melted shortenme and chocolate, and alternately the milk and flour sifted, measured, and settled again with the baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Bake in a pan 7 x 11 inches, about 45 or 59 names, in an oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. When the cake is cool cover it. When the cake is cool cover it with this frosting 1 1 4 cup of confectioner's sugar which has been stirred with the help of family Mike and I together them on the bed of a great grocery store on his imagination. He says "there are 10,000 colored people in our neighborhood. They spend at least $150 per week for groceries. That is $10,000 per week and $1,560,000 per year, I'll open a store." He opens and in a year instead of having done $1,560,000 worth of business, he has lost all he had and the sheriff has sold him out. He is a sadder and wiser man. He was a visionary. He knew little or nothing about the grocery business and therefore he failed. Imagination and feeling will never take the place of training—not in this complex civilization. Now a man of vision wants to do a thing. He sees it. He studies it. He prepares for it, and does it it goes about it in a sensible way and usually he succeeds. He is practical as well as visionary. The man with real vision sees things clearly as they are, while the visionary deceives himself with illusions. Emphasizing the real need for a new site and building to care for the growing high school population of colored youth the New Orleans Louisiana Weekly said: For years it has been a source of keen disappointment to many of us that no effort, apparently, has been made by the Orleans Parish School Board to provide needed relief for this particular unit of the public school system. Especially has this disappointment been keen when we have learned what has been done by other Southern cities far beneath in population, and resources. Atlanta, Norfolk, Louisville, Houston, and Daton Rouge, among the larger cities, not to mention at all the State of North Carolina, have provided, in recent years, splendid buildings, with modern equipment, for their Negro children in high school grade. New Orleans, the metropolis of the South, has sadly assumed the rear in this progression of progress in Negro school facilities. Already, we have been informed, six and a half million dollars has been spent on major building projects in the public school - system (this amount does not include, we understand expenditures for repairs and alterations of existing structures) and of this amount the Negro schools have profited by one new building, extensive alteration of another, and an annex to an already too overcrowded school. United support was urged of a popular movement to supply this need from the proceed of a recent bond issue. --- The Natcher Reporter printed the following account of heroic rescue of six whites, told in a news article from Shreveport: The heroism of a colored man in helping in the rescue of six white fellow workers Monday after they had been blown from a Gulf Refining Company's launch, "The Gulf Special," at the wharf at Morningport is being acclaimed by colored persons and white persons alike. The explosion, the cause of which has not been determined, occurred just after eleven employees of the company had boarded the launch for a trip about Caddo Lake, where the men, employed on various projects had left for their work. Robert Fisher, who was piloting the boat, proved the hero of the catastrophe. As the din and smoke of the explosion that rocked the pier died away, men were seen struggling in the water. Many were badly burned and dazed and were in danger of drowning. Fisher was painfully injured but he retained his strength and courage. He swam to the aid of stunned men who were clinging to pieces of wreckage. Six trips he made carrying injured to the pier before he himself fell out, exhausted. The boat was completely destroyed and witnesses said that but for the heroism of Fisher a number of the men would likely have drowned. This is added proof that humanity and courage are not restrained or color lines, even in such States of Mississippi and Louisiana. ... According in the Letter Loremis a novel use has been found in old street cars in Houston. It said Some of Houston's old street cars which have long served the punks are now being used as playhouses for children instead of completely punking the cars, Jeff Alexander, manager of the Houston street car system sent some of them out to the public playgrounds, so the killers could play street car to then be content. Recently this company placed an service in Houston a number of types cars, in order to the public the last word comfort. At Fort Worth the Northern Lease as Traction Company is present a number of old cars to make way for 10 of the latest type in sale of the Fort Worth new cars and one from Houston were on display at the recent national convention of the American Electric Railway Association in Cleveland. This new equipment represents the effort of Texas street railway companies to give the best service to both and anywhere. That is probably as good a way to utilize the obsolete vehicles as setting them into existing rooms in room hangings. And to the children play they can wrest the singles of "Dumb" safety punch with wire punch in the presence of the passengers. | CHURCH ACTIVITIES ~ |.

During the past week fate dealt the little manager of the Resilience Big Five a big blow. Captain Socum was stricken ill with a threatened attack of pneumonia and "Fats" Jenkins was also under care of a doctor. Then when the news leaked out that Saunders, the disgusted center, had suffered a brain in a contest at Fisherman, it was feared that the game here Sunday night would have to be cancelled or it would at least mean defeat for the home team. But at 9:30 p. m. exactly, Bob Douglas trotted out what remained of his champions: Fial—oh, yes, George, was still to be considered, "Pappy" Ricks, "Bruiser Saitch and Rapid Mayers, with a finger in a heavy bandage. Instead of the other regulars, there was "Stretch Hill and Johnny Capers, who needed no introduction to the fans. Ten years ago Capers was playing brilliantly with Spartan and St. Christopher clubs, Johnny Hopkins, another former amateur star, also one of the substitutes. The visiting team was the New York Whirlwinds. Stretch, Hill scored the scoring with a foul shot. Then Saatch scored a brilliant field goal from the center of the court. The Renaissance team did not seem to realize they were working under a handicap and at half time led the scoring by 24-10. During the second half Pappy Hicks and Georgie Fial formed a neat passing combination. When the game ended the score was 57-22 in favor of the home team.

Ince has made the attempt in his picture to bring out the picturesque in the battered joints of the Barbary Coast, where sailors' and cut-throats of every nationality and race are thrown into a seething mass of dissipating humanity. Ince himself, who acts as both star and director, portrays the character of a sturdy sea captain who loves a dancer in one of San Francisco's bay front dives. Patsy Ruth Miller plays the girl: Many shots taken aboard ship far out in the Pacific ocean, where sky meets water on all sides, add much to the beauty of the picture. A famous trading schooner, especially refitted for Ince's work, was used in all the maritime screen players are such familiar names as Gertrude Astor, Tom Santoschi, Alan Brooks and others.

R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, to the Board of Aldermen of New York. Leut, Sissle writes: "It was with the greatest pleasure that I read in the paper an election to office. And I might say, an answer my prayer. As I wrote you before, some knows better than I what a need need there is for honorable, insight men at the head of civili-fairs in New York. And every one knows of your sincerity and well-netting disposition? There has never been a soldier who stood more like Horatius at the Bridge than you have. 'Many times, single-handed, you have stood on the threshold of Harlem, holding back the determined effort of some who desired to make it the dumping ground for debauchery and fifth. It has seemed, maybe, a long time for your worth to be appreciated as the recent demonstration at the coursed. But must you name a time when you but a Fred Moore could stem the tide of pollution in our neighborhood. I wish to congratulate the citizens of Harlem for at last rescuing to the occasion and putting a man of your strength or character into such a high office. And my earnest prayer is that you will be supported and be given encouragement in helping to bring about a condition that will make Harlem rather than "Nigger Heaven." Let us have it at the 'Haven of New York' where all the citizens of that great metropolis can point upward with pride to that section of Manhattan whose geographical position places it in the relative position to Lower New York as Heaven is to Easth. "I am glad to say that I am brazing away at my goal, which you know has been I a tedious one but one that I have done in a few months show results. You know I have always striven to live a life of service, and at present I am slowly building a foundation for a very important movement in behalf of the advancement of my profession among our people."

Andrew Rosemond Back From 6 Months Abroad Andrew F. Rosemond, violinist who reached New York a year or so ago after a recital tour around the world, and became head of the violin department of the Martin-Smith Music School following the untamed death of its former director, Eugene Mars Martin, returned two weeks ago from a six month's stay in Europe, during which time he played and studied in Paris, and Berlin. His French audiences heard him in recitals and in Germany he played mostly in orchestras. A feature of his Berlin experience was his appearance in concerts with the Friedman Siring Quintet, one of Gerhardt's most notable ensemble groups. Mr. Rosemond has not perfected his plans as yet but is considering both opening a studio of violin instructor and a continental concert tour He brings word that J. Francis Mores, baritone, who went to Europe sometime ago with a musical comedy company, is now in Berlin, devoting himself to concert work and to preparing an operatic repertoire. According to Mr. Rosemund, Mores has been given a three years' contract by one of Berlin's most prominent impresarios, under which his salary is paid even while he is studying Mores is studying the roles in "Othello," "Vida" and "African" expecting soon to make his debut, and in the meantime his won favor from his concert audiences.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Leon Abbey, who formerly was leader of an orchestra at the Savoy Dance Hall, has taken six men to London to fill a three months' contract. There is little doubt this contract will be extended at its completion, if the orchestra's department is proper. R. James and F. Alleyne, saxophonists; Charley Johnson, cornet; Harry Steven, banjo; Billy Gaines, piano; Oliver Tynes, drums, with Abbey, comprise the outfit. These men were working with Bill Brown in Brooklyn, and quit Brown to go with Abbey. Their quitting caused Brown to lose his job, as Brown's employer would not submit to having a pickup band. Brown had used ten men who had played together for years and therefore were well organized and gave an excellent account of themselves. Hiring two subsequent so-called organized orchestras, which failed to give satisfaction, the employer gave Brown a hearing on a bunch he had meanwhile been whipping into shape. This bunch proved satisfactory, so Brown is on the job again. While on the Brown subject, we may here state that DeLeon, whose case against Brown was discussed a few weeks ago, this column, obtained judgment at 8:00, and time for payment was used. Local 802, but Brown, having lost his job as stated, asked for and obtained an extension or time for payment. DeLeon's allowed claim was for two weeks' salary on a job on which DeLeon never waned and never played a note. Don David is again working for the M & S integrates at the Roosevelt, in conjunction with Geo Turner piano, Henry Gibson chamber and saxophone; Henry Harding drummer, Liacut, Tim Brimm, who is contractor for the house, has changed all save Gibson since he came into office. Joe Lymans, who used to be leader, made an awful squawk to the Umon, claiming he had bought a library and was only retained as leader a short time by Tim. He was informed that under the conditions, the local could not compel Tim to keep him on the job. Trouble had been brewing since Tim displaced Miss Hershey, a previous leader, and pianist of the orchestra for two years, and who was not wanted in that house by the management. Tim transferred her to the Odeon Theatre, but she refused and put the Roosevelt. It is alleged that Mildred Brooks (Delcon) was hampered when she was engaged as pianist in Miss Hershey's place, and could not return the job as most of the orchestra wanted the return of Miss Hershey. This added to the fact that a majority of the orchestra were strenuous in their activities to prevent the U.S. from given. Tim control of the Roewell, may have induced the heutenan to clean house and thus prevent a continuous blinking. The report is that Davis, the former drummer at the Roewell, impaired at the local as to why a first-class drummer was fired to make room for a tanzing drummer" and the report was overheard, that a "taxicab drummer is better than a limousine drummer of the taxis is hitting a self-clubber and the limousine is stranded."

This, he says, they dre en- dieavoring to do by tha means of faiter and more luxurious trains arid by innovations of every kind, even carrying thesé' ihnovations to thelr freight service, Taken in its entirety ,tho exposition is worth reading hy every railroad employee, and especially does this column reconimend its perusal to Pullman porters for, indirectly, they are now, and prob- ably will be dater on, affected in various ways by these different inno vatipas. « -. . "The fortunes of th€ railroads and the Pullman service are so close- ly related in the operation of long passenger-hauls and luxtrious ser- vice that whatever situation is felt by the railroads is shated to a sub- stantial degree by the Pullman Company. And now that this com- pany has divorced its operating department from its manufacturing and other departments, the financial future of the railroads will, as a matter o{ course, be reflected more-than ever In the Pullman service, This is so obvious that it-is hardly necessary to refer back to Mr. Angolf’s ar- ticle, but again we say it should be read, for between its lines one ‘can partly understand what the Pullman Company is up against. ‘ While this opinion is not 18 be consftlered by any means as a de- ience of the Pullman company, yet these innovations that the railroads ate continually introducing, in the hope of patronage, may have had some influence in the matter, We refer, of course, to the supplanting ‘ot Negro club-car porters with Filipinos. 2 ‘This competition among the rail carriers for travel has not only resulted in the ‘operation of speedier, and-more de-luxe trains, but, as the writer on the subject aptly mtimated, it has developed into an orgy cf mew and expensively-built cars. With the introduction of - these cars, the.railroads have not only advertised novelty in their furnishings, but they have advertised ‘novelty in their service. It is what they in- geniously phrased (using Mr, Angoff’s words) “refining the service’. So, while this may not have been wholly the reason for the intro~ duction of Filipinos on club cars, it is entirely theoretical to opine that there were circumstances other than those which appeared on the sur- tace at the time for this change. Of course this is an opinion that is merely a supposition, and is not expected to be accepted literally; for the Negro race is a sentimental ,race. The fact that a corporation which was looked upon as a savior to Negroes would supplant meti- bers of that race with members of an alien group was too. antithetical for Negro sentiment, . . Overlooking, however, that passing cloud, there is one condition in the railroad service which the Negro Pullman porter might consider anadvantage. His employer has a monopoly of the sleeping and par- lor car service in this country. If each railroad had its own individual deluxe service, or if there were several companies supplying this ser- vice, with this desire for innovations, there is no, telling what might hap- pen, despite the fact that it is said that ndthing but black men could do or would do this sort of Work.

In golden youth, when seems the gath, A summer land for singing mirth; When souls are glad and hearts are light And not a shadow lurks in sight, We do not know it, but there lies Somewhere, veiled under evening skies A garden all must sometime see— Somewhere lies our Gethsemane. With joyons steps we go our ways, Love lends a halo to our days, Light sorrows sail like clouds afar; We laugh, and say how strong we are. We hurry on, and hurrying go Close to the borderland of woe, That waits for you and waits for me. Forever waits Gethsemane Down shadowy lanes, across strange streams, Bridged over by our broken dreams, Behind the mist cap of years, Close to the great salt-fount of tears, The garden lies; strive as you may, You cannot miss if your way, All pain have been" shall be, Pass somewhere through Gethsemane. All those who journey soon or late Must pass within that garden's gate. Must kneel alone in darkness there, And battle with some fierce despair God pity those who cannot say, "Not mine, but Thine," who only pray, "Let this cup pass" and cannot see The purpose in Gethsemane. Mrs. FANNIEQ,QEALB, widow IN MEMORIAM Gone but not forgotten—ISABELLA C. BROWN, died January 1920 1920 Their niece, Bella Hall Irving and husband Henry C. Irving IN MEMORIAN William Barker who passed to the beyond January 23 1917, eleven years ago today. I miss you and mourn you in silence unseen. And dwell on the memory of days that have been; Though gone and forgotten by some you may be. The grave that contains 'you is sacred to me.
