Mr. Thomson so expressed himself in a letter to Monroe Curtis, senior vice commander, in reply to an invitation from Mr. Curtis asking Mr. and Mrs. Thomson to serve, with other prominent men and women, as patron and patroness for the function.
Put Blamo On Hotel
Reciting the fact that he subscribed and attended the 1928 ball at the Waldorf Astoria, Mr. Thomson spoke of his amusement at being informed that because of hotel discrimination, none of the members of the colored post, the Dorrence Brooks, were present, and that under such conditions the 1929 ball should have been arranged for at any other place than the Waldorf Astoria, a place where the colored veterans would be welcome.
To a letter to the editor, touching upon the matter, Mr. Thomson, a member of the law firm of Thomson and McGinty, Grand Corpourse at 161st street, wrote that "It is my opinion that if a veteran organization cannot consistently maintain and justify its attitude towards no race or color discrimination in its public program it might better fold up its tent and silently steal away to Mr. Curtis, after referring to the fact that "we have an excellent Post in Harlem, known as the Dorrence Brooks Post" (the city has named the square at 136th and 137th streets, Edgecombe and St. Nicholas avenues, in honor of Dorrence Brooks, who was a member of the famous Heliestellers—Old 15th New York). Mr. Thomson expressed himself as follows:
To Be No Compromise.
"We spend thousands of dollars annually through state and national channels for the furtherance of the principles of Americanism. We had better cancel all that expenditures and insist upon that one practical lesson of Americanism with far more advantage to us and the nation at large. I shall not subscribe to the ball this year and neither shall I attend. It is true that I am a Past New York State Commander of this military veteran organization, but it also is true that I have vigorously asserted at all times my principles on a great many public questions. This happens to be one upon which there will be no compromise.
"I hope that you will have the courage and the vigor to remove this stain upon the escutcheon of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at such time that you are elected to the office of State Commander of this organization. You can make that decision with the confident assurance that you will have organ-

The statement that the Waldorf Astoria, Hotel had drawn the color line against Negro Veterans of Foreign Wars comes as a surprise to many Harlemites for there have been numerous occasions when colored guests have been present without restriction at functions given in that hostelry. One of the most notable is the former Col. William Hayward, at which scores of colored citizens were present.
MAN AND WIFE DEAD IN FIRE ON ST. NICHOLAS AV. Police Dog Wakes Owner Who Spreads Alarm And Saves Many
James Townes, twenty-five and wife, Margaret, twenty-five, were burned to death in a fire that swept through the five-story building at 352 St. Nicholas Avenue north of 128th street, at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Mrs. Mary Dickerson, trapped in a top floor window, was carried umbrella down an aerial ladder by Leuct. Carey and Fireman Gustave Marousek of Hook and Ladder No. 40.
That many lives were not lost was due in part to the intelligence of Prince, a police dog belonging to Andrew Ruffin, living on the first floor: Smoke seeped into the kitchen where the dog was asleep and aroused it. Running into Ruffin's bedroom it pulled the covers off him and barked.
Ruffin was shouting an alarm out of a window when Policecene Fox and Rosentein of the West N23rd Street station heard the dog's barks and ran around to find that a cellar fire was rapidly ascending the stairwell. While Fox was arriving tements in the building, the other policeman sent an alarm from the nearest
Escape to Rear Yard
Most of the occupants of the burning building escaped to the rear yard in their night clothes by way of the fire escapes. Others went to the goof. By the time the first apparatus arrived, the flames had made such headway a second alarm was sounded.
By spreading to nearby roos, the blaze forced to the streets, most of them in nightlights, beetles, and 100 fiammes, a total of almost persons. Then only rescue necessary however, was that of Mrs. Dickerson.
Everybody was believed to have escaped, but when firemen of No. 40 truck were overhauling the building after the fire was out they found the body of Townes and his wife, who lived in the south apartment on the top floor and probably were killed by smoke before they were burned.
Though there were rumors of the fire was suspicious, origin. Fire Marshal Brophy was used to fire a fire for them. All that could be learned was that it started in the cellar and worked its way up the dumbwater and stairwell while most of the tenants were still asleep.

6Bl's ADOPTED BROTHER
By Minnie Lockley
Once upon a time there was a poor little boy named Wilhel. He had no mother and his father did not take good care of him. One day he did not attend school and the truant officer went to the basement where he lived. His father was the janitor in the building. The basement was very dirty and poor little Wilhel sat out in an alleyway. His hand was infected and banded with a very dirty rags. He was dressed in scanty rags, he had no underwear and the fronds of his stockings were out. Poor little boy! He sat patiently looking around him. He was drained to go out in the street in his rags and hid himself in the alley. The attendance officer took Wilhel to a lunchroom and gave him some good food. Then he came to school and told what a pitiful case Wilhel was. The assistant told our class about Wilhel one morning. The afternoon things came rushing in, for our girls had brothers who had some good warm clothes they had out-grown.
Then we saved money and one day two of our girls took Wille out shopping after three o'clock, and bought him two blouses, two handkerchiefs, and a pair of stockings. Wille is no longer the shy little fellow of the alley, but romps happily with his schoolmates. Just now we are saving to give him a merry Christmas. We are not rich but if every once in a while a girl who has some money to spend for candy gives a penny or two of it for Wille we find we soon have quite a little fund for our adopted brother.

Lewis H. Latimer, an electrical engineer widely known throughout the United States and a member of the Edison Homers, died on Tuesday night, December 11, at his home 137-57 Holly Street, Flushing, in his eighteen year. He was born in Chelsea, Mass.
After leaving school, Mr. Latimer became a draftsmaker. He early became interested in electrical developments, and fifty years ago became an electrical engineer. He drew for Alexander Graham Bell the original plans of the telephone These plans are, now on file in the Public Library at Fifth avenue and Forty-second street. He was at one time employed by the General Electrical company, which sent him to London to establish a factory where incandescent lamps were manufactured. During the Civil War he served abroad the U. S. S. Massachusetts.
Wrote For The Age
Mr. Latimer had lived in Flushing for the last twenty-five years. He was a member of George Huntsmans Post, G A R. R. Two daughters, Mrs Gerald S. Norman and Muss Louse R. Latimer, survive Funeral services were held Friday evening at the house Burial in Fall River, Mass. In the early years of The Age, Mr. Latimer was a valued contributor to its column writing both verse and prose. He was also the author of several text books on electricity, Genial in disposition, he made many friends in the course of his active and varied career.
The death of Mrs. Elizabeth D. White occurred Sunday, December 10, after an illness of many years, at the residence of her daughter, Mr. C H Lansing, 508 Quincy street, Brooklyn.
Mrs. White was the widow of the late Dr. Philip A. White, for many years, a leading druggist on Gold street, Manhattan, and at one time a member of the Brooklyn Board of Education.
Before her illness Mrs. White was active in welfare work having founded the Willing Workers Circle of King's Daughter and given much of her efforts to the establishment of the Brooklyn Home for Aged Colored People, of which she was the first vice-president. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Jen T Mars and Mrs. Charles H Lansing, besides several grandchildren and other children.
Funeral services were held at her late residence on Quincy street Wednesday morning, December 19, at ten o'clock. The interment was private.
brandt, special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General, laid charges against him, based on the testimony of Anselm P. Magee, a white man of Magee, Miss., former U. S. Marshal, who swore that he paid $2,000 for his appointment, borrowing the money from Hubbard, his friend and neighbor, to make the payment. Russell charged that $1,500 of this sum was paid to Howard in Washington, D. C.
Acquitted on First Ballot.
Russell was saved from being indicted' because of being granted immunity when Mrs. Willebrandt brought him before the grand jury at Biblox. The jury was never in doubt as to Howard's innocence of the charge, and the vote to acquit was unanimous on the first ballot after they had retreated on Thursday night. The second ballot brought a vote of 11 to 1 for acquittal of the others.
Several of the jurors stated frankly that they placed no credence in the story told by Russell, which was without corroboration save for statements made by his brother, A. S. Russell. Jurors said they did not notice the Russells, but thought the political leaders had been exceptionally good to both brothers.
Howard was a good witness for himself. He was well-poised, frank, straightforward, and humored throughout a grilled cross-examination by Lester G. Fant of Holly Springs, Assistant District Attorney. He made the impression that he had nothing to conceal.
Still National Committeeman
In his charge Judge Holmes instructed the jury that Howard could not be convicted of taking $1,500 in Washington, because that alleged offense took place in the District of Columbia, and this court was without jurisdiction, unless the jury also believed from the evidence that Howard had knowledge of the conspiracy to violate the Patronage Act.
One result of the verdict will be the late white Republican faction led by the late George Lowndes, S. G. Gordon Carl Sharp, L. O. Croshy will fail in their effort to must Howard as Republican National Committeeman for this State. Howard has no intention of resigning and there is no possible way of bringing about his removal.
Suspended From Post
Whether or not Attorney General Sargent will remain Howard as his assistant remains to be seen. Other indictments are pending but it is generally believed the Department of Justice picked its strongest case, and that all further efforts to convict them will be futile.
After Howard was indicted at the Special term of Federal Court last July, when the charges against him were presented by Mrs. Mabel Willebright, special assistant to the Attorney General, he was suspended from his office at Washington. Later the Republican National Committee recognized the charge and white faction of the Republican Party in this State, and put Lamont Rowlands, millionaire South Mississippi lumberman, in charge of the Hoover campaign.
Despite the expenditure of a large sum of money for speakers and campaign literature, Rowlands and his associates succeeded in capturing only about 27,000 votes. The Howard faction probably could have done better, since an overwhelming majority of the qualified Negro voters remained away from the polls in resentment over the dethronement of Howard.
Pythians Dedicate $1,500,000 Home In Chicago, Said To Be Largest Building Owned, Controlled By Race
Fronts 132 Feet On State Street, Is 9 Stories High, With Theatre Seating 1,400 and Roof Garden Pavilions Chicago, Ill.—The new Pythian Temple, erected in this city at a total cost of $1,500,000, of which more than $1,000,000 has already been invested, is said by the architect, W. T. Bailey, to be the largest building owned and controlled by Negroes anywhere in the world. nd its architectural beauty sets a new land for race business and fraternal enterprises.
'Gentlemen—Please forward me full information how I can share in profits of Superior Art Productions.
The Temple, located on State street, has a frontage of 132 feet, with a depth of 124 feet. Including the basement, it is nine stories high, of rough buff pressed brick with terra cotta trimming making a gazelle golden spectacle when lit up with the sun's rays. It is in the heart of a thickly settled Negro community. It was formally dedicated on December 11.
Billard room, bowling alleys and drill rooms for the Uniform Bank are located in the basement, while the office gives fronting on State street, with the enclosure to a 1,400-seat theatre built in the rear, running through four stories.
Provide 75 Offices.
The second, third and fourth floors have 75 offices which are to be available to the public, while the officers of the Pythian Supreme Lodge will be domiciled on the fifth and sixth floors, in the front. The rear fifth door will have four lodge rooms, accommodating about four hundred persons, each while the rear sixth floor will have two halls with a capacity of about one thousand each.

Each pavilion, it is estimated will accommodate 2500 persons and they are to be available for dances, basketball games and other large gatherings. If the front part of these floors are lounging rooms, restaurant soda fountains, check rooms etc.
The Temple was first conceived in 1833 when the late Samuel W. Starks of West Virginia, then supreme chancellor, made a recommendation in his report to the swiftly humane session of the Supreme Lodge held in St Louis At this session a resolution by Edward D. Green, supreme representative from Illinois, provided for the erection of the Temple. The temple was appointed at the 1903 session, and in August, 1926 a site for the Temple was selected in Chicago.

SEGREGATION LAW IN RICHMOND IS SENT TO COMM'N Nine Citizens, Two Colored, To Pass On Proposed Ordinance
Richmond, Va.—The ordinance providing for residential segregation, which has been pending in the Richmond city Council, has been referred to a commission of nine, including three city officials and six citizens, one of whom shall represent the Interracial Committee, and two of whom shall be colored.
The commission was instructed to investigate the situation thoroughly and report their recommendations to the council by May 1. This decision was reached on the proposed ordinance, in which the various viewpoints were presented before a mixed audience of 250 people
Negroes Led Opposition
The opposition to the ordinance was led by R. W. Carrington, representing the Interracial Committee, who contended that the measure would work a hardship on a great many people and tend to disarrange the existing cordial relations between the races.
He was followed by a number of representative Negroes, each of whom had supported the argument. Among these were Attorney Joseph E. Pollard, Rev. W. L. Ransom, I. A. Reed, M. A. Nersev, and W. A. Jordan.
The action of the committee in recommending postponement and further study was evidence of the effectiveness of their arguments. The final result will be awaited with interest.
The 1927 session, Green was elected, and has served ever since. It was under his administration that construction of the Pythian Temple has been carried on.
Mr Green has been a Pythian for 45 years, having been a charter member in 1883 of Tensas Lodge, No. 21, Louisiana. He was elected grand chancellor in 1892, serving through 1896. He declined reelection, but in 1899 he was again called to the post, and has served ever since. Succeeding to the supreme chancellorship in 1903 through the death of Mr. Macauley, Mr Green has been continually reelected. The Pythians of his home city are occupying a $200,000 temple which was built through Mr Green being able to secure $75,000 from New Orleans bankers for that purpose.

To the inexperienced investor the stocks Stocks and Bonds are confusing: A bond is an evidence of indebtedness of a corporation, the holder of which is a creditor of the issuing company. When a corporation needs the money for building, expansion or any other business, the borrower may invest the investing public and river as security from the loan a contract by which the borrower promises to pay at a definite time (the maturity date) the amount of the bond (the principal sum) and at regular intervals, interest at a specified rate. Stock, on the other hand, represents a part ownership in a business, the holder of which is subject to a share of the risks of the business as well as a portion of the profits. Bond interest is fixed, and can only be changed by consent of the bondholders themselves, at a bond meeting.
Dividends on Stocks are only paid when earnings warrant them, and vary according to the prosperity of the business and the policy of the directors of the company. Bonds are therefore much more stable in price, particularly in case of financial reverses on the part of the corporation, and are not subject to speculative manipulation as are stocks. A comparison of both types of investments will be more fully elaborated out in an ensuing article.
TYPES OF BONDS
Government Bonds—Issued by the United States or Foreign governments to finance wars (such as Liberty Bonds) public improvements, etc., and are payable from taxes.
Municipal Bonds—Issued by cities, states, or districts, and are ordinarily issued to finance local improvements, such as schools, reads, etc., and are also payable from taxes.
Corporation Bonds—Issued by industrial, railroad, and public utility corporations for corporate purposes (building extensions acquiring new properties, etc.).
Real Estate Bonds—Usually issued to finance the construction of large hotels, apartments, office buildings, etc.
First Mortgage Bonds—As collateral or security for the money borrowed the fixed properties of the company are pledged. Assume that a company has or will have plant and equipment worth $2,000,000. First mortgage bonds are issued to the amount of $1,000,000 or 50 per cent of the value of the property (the size of the bond is

ENGLAND ADOPTS WASHINGTON IDEA OF EDUCATION Industrial Education Is Finding Place In The Leading Schools
Industrial education of which Booker T. Washington was the most outstanding apostle, and as taught at such well-known institutions as Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes, has become popular with the English people; according to Miss Georgina A. Gollock of London, former joint editor of the International Review of Mission, who has been making a survey of American educational institutions.
"One of the finest girls' schools in England, the Wycombe Abbey, which is attended by daughters of royalty and the wealthy, has made industrial education a part of its study" reports Miss Gollock, who thinks the Miss Learning gives one the privilege of getting more closely with a very large number of men and women.
Visits Southern Schools
While in the United States Miss Gollock displayed especial interest in Negro education. She visited many of the universities, colleges and industrial schools and spent several weeks in the South. She says she was immensely impressed with the pose, character and intelligence of the teachers in these institutions.
"Negro education in the United States is based on extremely sound principles" observes Miss Gollock. "It has a wonderful future. This applies to all types of education, from rural schools, agricultural and industrial institutions, public schools to colleges and universities. It was deeply impressed by the work of these institutions of higher education, and likewise with the influence for good agricultural and secondary schools are exerting in rural communities.
"There seems to be a tendency among Negroes of setting one section against the other. This should not be. Neither should be used for the other. Neither should be the other for both are vitally necessary balance should be kept.
Backbone of Community
"In England the people are in deep penitence for paying too much attention to the book type of education and too little to that which deals with the real life of the people. They are gratifying and inspiring to find in the South educated, clean-living men and women who own their own homes and are enthusiastic students of rural economics. Like the ycleman class of England, these 'people' are destined to become the backbone of their community." Ms. Hollock, who recently wrote "Soo of Africa," which is published in New York, sailed last week on the Georgia Washington for England.

Washington, D. C.—Action to provide for American Negroes better educational facilities was outlined Monday before the opening session of the National Interracial Conference.
"Negro education is being taken seriously," said W. A. Robinson of the Knoxville (Tenn.) High School faculty, "for the first time since the earliest days of reconstruction, when Negroes in the South sat in legislatures and expressed their faith in American democracy by enacting laws for the education of all the children of all people."
He said, however, that much remained to be done before there would be a parity of educational for Negroes and whites. Quoting from a report of children in Negro education in the South he said that in Southern states as a whole in 1920 $10.32 per capita was spent for white schools, as compared with $2.89 per capita for Negroes.
In one Alabama county, he added, the difference was even greater. The theory of "white supremacy" is largely responsible for the injustice to Negroes in education, said Miss Mabel Carney, of Columbia University, New York. She praised the campaign of the National Educational purposes. President James E. Gregg, of Hampton Institute, described importance as a disease, just as dangerous and as likely to spread as other common diseases. "Scenes of Kjr-Kluxery, lynchings and violence are largely in neighborhoods where the least is spent for education," he said.
President Senda Greeting.
The conference, which continued through Wednesday, was called by sixteen national organizations, dealing with radical questions, to assemble information on relations between the United States and the Middle East. The following message from President Coolidge to Miss Mary Van Klecken was read tonight. "Will you be good enough to present my greetings and best wishes at some appropriate time to the National Intercultural Conference being held in Washington for this year, for that we earnest kense that its deliberations will be most successful in promoting the purposes and aims of your organization"

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—For the first time in six years Rosenwald building agents were called for a two days' conference here December 4-6 by S. L. Smith, general Rosenwald agent.
The conference was characterized by interesting reports from the Rosenwald building agents' of the work done in the several fields.

He stressed a definite practical workable program in raising funds for building Rosenwald school houses and told how to proceed along educational and civic lines in creating friendship among the races.
He said the time has come when people take what we do and not what we say. He pointed as an example a boy of the 4-H club who reported at the Annual 4-H club meeting at Tuskegee how he conducted a project and was making three reports there for him to pay his way through college when he finished his high school course.

Dr. John T. Wilson Gives $50,000 For Acquirement of Hospital, Land, And Equipment For Service To Race Property Is Valued At $750,000, and Is To Be Owned and Operated By the John T. Wilson Medical Foundation, Chicago Corporation
Chicago, Ill.—The colored people of Chicago, and for that matter of the United States, on Thursday morning, December 20, came into possession and ownership of all buildings and equipment of the hospital at 34th street and Rhodes avenue, heretofore operated as the Lake Side Hospital. The acquisition of this hospital was made possible by an outright gift of $50,000 by Dr. John T. Wilson. This seems to be the first instance on record in this country where a Negro has given such a large sum of money for the establishment of a charitable institution.
cal Foundation will make every effort to provide proper treatment and services for the most women or family who are destitute, and without means. Free clinics and community hygiene will be among the main function of the institu-
Owned by Foundation.
These properties will now be owned and operated by "The John T. Wilson Medical Foundation," a charitable corporation chartered under the laws of the State of Illinois. $750,000 is the conservative valuation placed upon the buildings, grounds and equipment. The plant and equipment are modern in every way.
There are set up at the present time 110 beds, with a potential capacity of at least one-half as many more. There are 54 private rooms, for the accommodation of one patient, each; and the other space is in rooms to accommodate two, three and four patients. No room space or ward will have more than four patients.
Every room is provided with excellent bed, furniture and furnishings, private telephone and with modern electrical call system. The maternity, medical and surgical floors, with their appurtenances, are absolutely first-class and up-to-date in every respect.
Cover Half Block.
The buildings and grounds cover one-half block, at the southwest corner of Rhodes avenue, at 34th street. The main hospital building is six stories, built of pressed brick and fireproof throughout. The adopting building for auxiliary uses contains dormitories for nurses and internes, and other members of the hospital staff and personnel
There are six operating rooms, with complete and adequate equipment; with every modern x-ray device; with drug rooms and analytical laboratories; with modern ice plant and heating system. There is, therefore, every facility for the training of internes and nurses, and for post graduate work for the practicing physician and surgeon.

New Hospital In Harlem Almost Ready To Open
(Continued From First Page)
Believue, now head of the Jersey City Hospital.
After the building had been carried well on the way, it was necessary for Dr. Vincent to seek outside financial assistance, and this was through the intercession of his friend, Mr. Mellon, who interested officials of the Title Guaranty and Trust Co. in the proposition and they, after a thorough investigation, in which they satisfied themselves of the doctor's ability to organize and assume the hospital, made a loan of $65,000 on a first mortgage.
Dr. Vincent has the hearty cooperation and assistance of Dr. Robert R. Moton, Casper Holstein, Fred R. Moore and other leading citizens of the city.
5-Story Fireproof Building.
A. J. Beckman, hospital consultant, giving of his experience in the matter of equipment, estimates that the maximum expense, of operating will be $6,500 a month, while the income, with only 80 per cent capacity, will total $11,735 a month. Dr. Cruimn estimates that at least 200 more beds are needed in Harlem to care for the average number of sick in the community. The building is five stories, of fireproof construction, with light and air from three sides. It is of 54-bed capacity, and besides wards and operating rooms, will have doctors' offices and a dental suite. The operating staff will be colored, nurses and internes.
Telephone Company
Starts Work On New
Central Office
Under a schedule which calls for completion in the fastest time on record, work has been started on an additional central telephone office to be located in the Broad street telephone building. In that building are already located the Hanover, Bowling Green and Whitehall offices, which handle a considerable part of Wall Street's telephone service.
J. S. McCullough, president of the New York Tephone Company, announced that the board of directors has appropriated $2,300,000 for this new office and for additions to the Hanover office. The project, including switchboards, cables, terminals, and other equipment, will amount to approximately $3,000,000. The new office is scheduled for completion early in September, 1929, fully a year ahead of the time originally planned. Also at that time, to serve the increasing requirements, downtown, another dial office will be placed in service in the West Street Building, where the new Barleyd dial office was opened in November. Two others in the same location are planned for completion early in 1930.

Washington, D. C.—On Thursday, December 13, President Calvin Coolidge signed the bill amending an act to incorporate Howard University, which passed the House at the last session and, which bill authorizes the annual appropriation to the school of funds necessary for its support. This legislation will put a stop to the annual recurrence of efforts on part of Democratic representatives to stop appropriations to Howard on the ground that there was no law authorizing such appropriations.

The text of the amendment reads as follows:
"Sec. 6. Annual appropriations are hereby authorized to aid in the construction, development, improvement and maintenance of the university, no part of which shall be used for religious instruction. The university shall, at all times be open to inspection by the Bureau of Education and the shall be instituted a bureat at least once a year. An annual report, making a full exhibit of the affairs f the university shall be presented to Congress each year in the report of the Bureau of Education."
$600,000 Is Appropriated.
An effort was made by Senator Tramell of Florida to resind the bill, but his motion was defeated, 55 to 14. Years of persistent effort have been made to secure this legislation by friends of the university in both Houses and by the present and former officials of the school. The current appropriation is $600,000, $60,000 less than the last appropriation, $65,000 - asked for increase of salaries was stricken from the bill, $240,000 is provided for building and equipping a chem-

LILY WHITES IN THE SADDLE.
The Republican program for the -teor:
yanization of the party in Florida, one
bf.the four Southern States that cast its
lectoral vote for Hoover, contemplates
Lehe.exclusion of the Negro from its mem-
bership. In other words, the party is to

reraba,: workout a “conatiutional plan,”
Yor the glirgination of the darker brother.

their support of the party for the past
fifty years, despite threats and intimida-

Practical method: of splitting the Solid
South, and at the same time dividing the
Negro vote. For it ig impossible to be-
lieve that any “constitutional plan” can
be devised that will permanently deprive
so great a portion of the population of
the right to vote, sdlely because of their
color. The most adroit and hardboiled
schemers of the Democratic party havé
tried to bring about that result ever since
reconstruction days. only to see their
many devices swept away, after they
were brought’ to the iest of legal con-
struction. 7
‘Then it is not to be supposed for a
moment that the oktime Democrats are
going to allow the Lily Whites to de
prive them of their long exercised politi-
cal supremacy without a bitter struggle
Jf they see in the hitherto suppressed
votes of the Negro an available wespon
that they can use to save themselves,
they will undoubtedly use it. The slogan
of white supremacy will be dropped in
favor of political sapremacy at any cost,
as was shown in certdin phases, of the
campaign against Governor Smith.’ South-
ern white Democrats have not hesitated
to appeal to black voters for support in
municipal contests in such cities as Sa-
vannah, Atlanta and Memphis, and it is
only natural that this process will be car
ried further to meet the opposition of a
stronger second party. , §
‘The plan of placing the Lily Whites
in the saddle in Florida and“other South
em States may be the oaly way to effect
a permanent breach in the solidity of the
South, but we do not think that it will
prove? sound policy for the Republican
party in the lorfg run, The party stands
to lose more than it can possibly gain
by sach recantation of its basic princi-
ples. And after ail, ‘principles have a
part in the evolution and development of
political parties, as in other mundane af-
fairs. ‘The elevation of the Lily Whites
is bound to promote division among the
Negro voters. And the oldline Demo-
crats will be the first to make use of this
division, as 2 means of ‘self-preservation

IT HAPPENED IN MISSISSIPPI.
-At Jackson, the capital of the State oj
Mississippi, a jury of twelve white men
rendered a verdict of not guilty, in the
case of four Negroes, tried on the charge
of violating the Federal Patronage Con-
spiracy Act.,and the defendants were
duly acquitted. This happened , despite
the fact that the charges were presented
to the grand jury which indicted the de-
fendants, by Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, 2
‘special assistant to the Attorney Gener-
al of the United States. and the further
fact that the chief witness against the
accused was a white man. and 2 former
United States marshal. .
Accordigig to a special despatch to the
New York World, several of the jury
stated frankly that they placed no conf
dence in the testimony of this witness,
who swore that he had paid the defend-
ants two thousand dollars to secure the
office of marshal. There was but little
corroboration of Russdil’s testimony, save
by way of circumstantial evidence and
the statements of his brother. The jurors
said that they not only did not believe
the two Russells, but that they thought
the Negro politicians had been excep-
tionally good to them, and’ that they did
not have much respect for informers any-
how: ;
‘The accused polrticians in'this case who
were charged with’ extorting money for
securing appointments to Federal office,
were Perry Howard, Republican nation-
al committeeman for Mississippi and a
special assistant to the Attorney General;
Dr, S. D. Redmond, chairman of the Re-
publican State Executive Committee; his
brother, A. M. Redmond, and Ed L. Pat-
ton, a veteran who has attended every
Republican national convention in the
past twenty-five years. .
The fact that a Mississippi jury acquit:
fed these defendants’ after, a fair trial of
ae. KEW YORK ace ~~
‘the charges, which were prosecuted with
jall the power of the Department of Jus:
tice aseerted against them, argues that
ithe evidence must have been pretty weak
to have failed to secure a conviction. The
Age has no brief in behalf of Perry Hew-
jard, since’he found it expedient or tec:
feasary to become an apologist for the
Ku ‘Klux Klan, but it has no desire to
see him the victim of; injustice, If the
jevidence offered to support ‘the charges
was inaufficient to convince: this Missié-
/sippi jury, he was undoubtedly entitled to
Jan -acquiteal. The, whole “proceeding
against Howard and his associates smack:
ed of an effort to eliminate him from
politics in Mississippi, in order to give a
‘clear field to the Lily White Republicans
1t is well that it has failed in this par-
ticular case. It is equally remarkable
that the Repubjican newspapers {ajled to
print any account of the result’ of the trial.
THE RUSSIAN EXPERIMENT.
| Various nations are trying out all kinds
‘of social experiments, in these modern
times of trying to change human tenden-
cies and habits by statutes sind punish-
ments. The United States‘is trying the so-
jcalled noble experiment of Prohibition
with results that are‘defined differently by
diffetent’ people. Great, Brithin has insti-
tated a system of doles to prevent the un-
employed from starving, which is said
by some observers to promote idleness
and: mendicancy. . Russia is trying the
Sreatest experiment of all perhaps, by
substitating a government by. the prole-
tariat for the rule-of the antocracy.
Americans who have visited Russia of
late do not bring back the same story.
Some say that the former country of the
czars is “going to the dogs,” while others
praise the rule: of the soviet republic as
ideal in its'aims, if not always in its meth-
ods. In the Southern Workman for De-
cember, James H. Hubert writes of “Rus;
sia, the Mystery Republic,” as a great
social laboratory. where men are renounc-
jing ‘wealth for what are termed the high:
ex possessions, He says that all ‘seal
Property, including stofts and houses in
the cities, is owned and opérated by the
government. Families who before the
revolution lived in eight rooms now live
in two and three. and, he adds, ‘“‘they seem
to enjoy it.” Rents are apportioned ac-
|cording to one's wages.
Each factory has its health commutee
and clinic and the ivorkers are given
physical examinations at regular, periods.
Everything is ‘done to fit ‘the worker to
Bis job, and he is sent to a sanitarium
or rest cure whenever it is thought neces-
sary. Recreational facilities ‘ace’ provid-
ed for clubs of workers in the shape of
tennis, basket ball. dancing theatres,
swimming pools, etc.” Prisons are said to
be conducted not so much for revengeful
punishment, but as 2 means for correc-
tion and improvement.
‘Mr. Hubert declares that Russia wel-
comes'trained Negroes and points to the
example of Attorney William Patterson
of Harlem, whom he found making him-
self felt as one of the undef secretaries of
the Soviet Government. He thinks that
“perhaps no land offers just now a more
virgin field and rarer opportunity for the
young educated Negro to share in the
building of 4 great empire with assurance
that his efforts will be appreciated and
rewarded.” \And yet we recall that such
earnest sotialists, or rather communists,
as Emma-Goldman and William Hay-
wood were disappointed, with the state of
affairs that they found in Russia.
The’ simplicity and ‘Teadiness with
which marriage and divorce may be ac-
complished under the soviet system
seemed to amaze the visitor, who spent
one morning in the marriage and divorce
courts and witnessed seven divorces and
many weddings. After apswering the
questions on a blank. hardly more com-
plicated than our application forms for
a driver's license, he clerk asks if you
want the court to notify your husband
or ‘wife,'as the case.may be. If the an-
swer is yes, a postal card does the trick,
according to, Mr. Hubert, and the appli-
cant stands free to take another chance
in the matrimonial lottery. But once
married, warns Mr. Hubert, “you can un-
der no circumstances be divorced tinder
three months.”
Mr. Hubert*finds food for thought on
the part of those who devote’ so much
hard earned money to elaborate church
buildings, in the fact that many of the
Russian :churches. of which there are two
thousand in Moscow alone, have been
converted into’muséums, sanitariums, and
schodls: He found that the Russian of
today has substituted Leninism as. the
new religion, and a draped-off Lenin cor-
ner has taken the place of the icén, ot
sacred image, in the household. He
thinks the most admirable thing about
the soviet regime is that it has brought
necestities within the reach of the work-

in the absence of Dr. A. C. Garners, who has been in Philadelphia for the past few days attending the funeral services of Dean W. Calvin, the angel who was able filled by Rev. Calvin Lane, who took his text from Matthew 11:28-31.
The lesson sent home to his hearers was that Jesus is kind and gentle, whose goes down to us to help us to love and help and to teach us that His love is all abiding.
The choir gave its usual excellent service. The anthem, "Seek ye the Lord," with Nelson B. Scott in the tenor, solo assists by the congregation, middle chorus and the congregation.

The evening service hour was in charge of Miss Beatrice Daye, December 23 at 4:30 p. m., Trustee Payne is presenting Miss Malcolm Daye, with Margaret on the pippo, in recital.
At last Sunday evening's service, Mrs. Elizabeth H. Davis in charge, too much cannot be said of the splendid rendition by James the Twelve, the Two Spirituals, "Nobody knows the Trouble I've seen" and "Everytime I feel the Spirit," arranged by Will Laurence. His voice was remarkable. In heartiness and O. Bannon's piano in "Baracelle" by Dett and "Fantasia - Impromptu" by Chopin plainly showed that he is a gifted pianist, as well as an organist. In meeting the trustees, deacon and messesses was held on Wednesday evening and plans were made for events to be held during the balance of the present year and the first part of 1929.

Refuge Church of Christ
The holiday season is dawning upon the Christian world, Christmas, like the sun, is beginning to glow forth and show itself upon the horizon of time. Its appearing arrival may be like unto a morning before the sun sets, and clouds. Thousands that hailed the rising sun at dawn Christmas a year ago, will hail it no more, for they have gone the way of all flesh. Hundreds who trod the face of our terrestrial globe at the Yuletide season this year will never see Christmas. They will never see the youth, they that are in the full prime of life, the hoary, and aged, "seeking something that will stand and hold firm when everything else has failed, including money, health, friends, relatives, fame notoriety, as well as the Christmas joys; and that is nothing other than Spirit of the Tree and Living God.
To be pleasing in the sight of the Eternal I Am and to render its duty to humanity the doofs of The Refuge Church of Christ swung open Monasteries where the missionaries were conducted by the Missionaries that have paved the way for many to walk down the highway of holiness into the Kingdom of God.
"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake must I sacrifice forth its righteousness and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. Ye, and for the sake of a lost world will I not rest and be comforted until man shall see the Arth and trust in God." Such was the sermon on Tuesday evening, December 11.
Wednesday, December 12, the doors of the church swung open with the Junior Church at the head of affairs for the evening. Liberate the church for Church. "Consider the lites of the field, how they grow; they took not neither do they spin," were the comforted words used as a text by the young minister to those that walked to hear his message. Licentious to the church of December 13 before an anxious congregation.
Friday, December 14, was a day that the church devoted to fasting and praying for the sick and afflicted—Jehovah—The Almighty—may heal their feeble bodies of whatsoever disease or complaint they may be afflicted with. Irrespective of modern physicians diagnosis the Lord of Hosts heals all diseases, not with healing lingering on the human body.
Licentiate Leon L. Rhone preached a beautiful spirit-filled sermon from the Proverbs of King Solomon 1st chapter, 32nd and 33rd verses. The church invited to attend these sermons did not nightly throughout the year.
Saturday, December 15, the Loyal's watch hour began at midnight and continued until six o'clock Sunday morning. This all-night prayer service is led by Sister Ruth Brown, who makes her indispensable duty midnight, and King Marmadah midnight every Saturday night through the entire year.
The sunrise services led by Deacon Goodman were well attended, lasting from 6 to 8 every Sunday morning. Licentate James H. Powell deliver morning - sermon from Psalm 27:10. Bishop and pastor R. C. Lawson preached an eloquent sermon at the eleven o'clock services, using for his text "What thou thou of Him? John 17." The large crowd at the audition received something in the message that will remain in their hearts for a long time. What sayeth thou of Him, the Prince of Peace, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father—the Redeemer, Healer of the world, and soon coming King Bernal—What sayeth thou of Him?
Pastor Lawson preached to the fringe crowd that filled the massive auditorium at the evening service, and then demonstrated the power of the Holy
Spirit but also the saving and healing powers of God Almighty.
All welcome to the Ritage Church of Christ S2-56 West 133rd street, New York City, Biblio R. C. Lawson, founder and pastor.
Salem M. E. Church

A music and literary program was presented by the Lyceum as the member of the Fraternity A. Cullen Circle and some of their guests at the Lyceum at four o'clock. The Rev. Isaiah Wilson made a short talk on "Efficiency." Several choral numbers were rendered by the Lyceum.
The junior department of the Epworth League had their Christmas program at 6:30. An interesting and well carried out program was given by the young children. They were invited to play with Paige and Mrs. Nannie Taylor.

Rush Memorial Church
The services at Rush Church last Sunday were very inspiring and uplifting.
At eleven o'clock, a large number of friends and members assembled in man-made auditorium and woven a gospel sheet. Rev. Dr. Douglas, the pastor, preached a practical sermon, selecting as his theme "Freedom with God."
Some of the high points to be considered in this beautiful lesson: First, in order to prepare ourselves to revive our faith, we must free ourselves from vanity, pride and those things which tend to make us personal slaves. There is no one so low, but that God's love can save him. It is the duty of a Christian man or woman to go into the world with the grace of a person who has fallen. The "Freedom with God" gives one that brotherly feeling toward all mankind. It bestows a spiritual Freedom upon us, and causes us to enjoy liberty of heart, mind and soul.
Mr. Mary Douglas, wife of the pastor,印制 the Congregation. Mr. Douglas arrived Thursday afternoon. A cordial welcome was given by her by all.

4:3. "And I entreat thee also true yokefellows, help those women which labored with me in the gospel." His theme was that if men have strength enough 'and attach it to the Supreme power; and if women, man's adpendent, have strength to the Divine, no other power on earth could excel them and that they/could do wonders in doing work for the kingdom. He spoke highly of the power entrusted to mothers whose task is to guide little lives. His speech was to guide inspiration, the power ofaking of having joint meetings more often, without thought of raising money.

A synopsis of the history of the society was given by John Allen, actuary, and the secretary as being vacant, because of the death of Mrs. Emily Page. Rev. Hayes preached from John 9:4. "I must work. he works for me, and it is my day for night coneth when no man can work." His theme was that Christ was willing to be judged 'by his works as shown by His answer to ask Jesus whether He was the one to come. He spoke of the different kinds of people in the church—tired, retired, tiresome and tireless. Mrs. Adams presented to the trustees the amount of $13.58.

The church, he said, is the greatest and most powerful institution in the world, and the function of the church is to save the whole man. It should minister to the every need of humanity, and the function of the Rev. Nichols further pointed out that the future of the church is safe, because of Christ's promise, not of immunity, but of victory. This was illuminating sermon, and filled the heart with praise.

PHIL EDWARDS TO TRY FOR MILE INDOOR TITLE
Versatility As Runner
Causes Coach To Try
For New Records
Paul L. Edward's outstanding college half mile, and captain of the New York University track team, has decided to compete in the mile races, instead of the half mile during the winter season
Edwards has never run the mule, but Coach Emil Emit Elling has been so impressed with the showing Edwards has been making in training, he intends to send his star runner after the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America one mile indoor title and gamble that Edwards can come back, one hour later on the same night and run the anchor half-mile lap on the team that will defend the two-mile relay championship.
Remarkable Versatility:
Since the opening of the present school term, Edwards has been showing remarkable versatility as a gunner. He won the 880-yard outdoor championship at Cambridge for N Y U- the first outdoor track title ever won by the Violet team. Then a little later the New York University cross-country runners—Phil Edwards, Nat Lerner and Irving Roth—won the metropolitan, and later the Middle Atlantic States cross-country titles.
This background of cross-country running, that set the foundation for improved stamina, is expected to make Edwards better than ever and, since the first of the year, he has enjoyed phenomenal success in racing here, in Canada and abroad.
Best 600-Yard Man.
In the last indoor season he was the country's best 600-yard man, winner of the national indoor 600-yard title, the Casey 600, in the grand time of 1-12 4-5, the metropolitan indoor 1,000-yard championship, in the record time of 2-15 2-5 winet of six individual races in succession and anchor man on winning relay teams, nine straight times
After winning the collegiate 880, the slender Negro star from British Guiana was better than ever in races abroad, placing fourth in the Olympic 800-meter, beating Lloyd Halm for the Irish 800-meter title in 1:32 1:5 (a grass track record), and evoking considerable applause from 40,000 Britons with his relay running for Great Britain against the United States at Stanford Brad. In the Olympics, Edwards pulled his slender build with an iron-man stunt that consisted of three 800-meter races on successive days, three 400-meter races in the next two days and two more 400-meter races in the relay at the end of the week.
Should Beat 4.20 Easily.
His showing abroad last summer established Edwards as one of the six, and perhaps four, greatest half-milers in training in the world today. His venture into the mile field will be interesting. He should be able to beat 4.20 easily, what with his speed and strength, and the indoor intercollegiate mile record of 4.17 4.5 made by Jimmy Connolly, seems well within his reach if he goes after the mark. Edwards has been resting for nearly a month. He will resume training in about three weeks.

S. C. State 11 Wins
South Atlantic Title
Orangeburg, S. C.—it is pretty well known that that football, championship of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association was won beyond doubt by the famous State College team. Only one opposing team in the Conference scored against the Bulldogs. Allen University accomplished this by reason of exhausted condition of the State College team during the last game of the season, after having played through a hard schedule of nine games, the team being practically out of trim and physically weak. In spite of these handicaps, however, the Bulldogs rose to the emergency and finally came out victorious.
The entire college has backed the athletic program this fall Already the Bulldogs are preparing for next season's conquest The schedule of 1929 will include games with Tuskegee, Atlanta University, Johnson C. Smith, A and T, N.C State and probably Virginia State, besides the regular schedule of the S A I A A

Howard Holds Annual
Washington, D. C.—in keeping with the custom, inaugurated by Dr. Emmett J. Scott several years ago, the football squad was tendered a banquet Saturday night; Speakers presented, included representatives of the Board of Trustees Alumni, Board of Athletic Control, and squad. After presenting the luminaries the lesser lights were brought into play in Dear Holmes' tribute to the scrubs.
Coach West received a great ovation. His work was praised by both president of the University and president of the Board of Athletic Control, who stated that had he done only half as well, in consideration of the difficulties with which he was confronted, the season would have been regraded as successful. To have suffered only one defeat in one of the hardest schedules Howard has ever tackled, and to have field the national champions to a scoreless tie were an achievement that far surpassed the highest expectations.
Coach West expressed deep appreciation for the support which had been accorded him. He stated that during the entire season he had not received one act of discourtesy or inubordination on the part of any player; that while he regretted exceedingly the loss of three of his mainstays in Dan Brown, Jack Coles, and Hawkins, the spirit of the men to carry on was the thing that gave him greatest encouragement; that due to the loss of his two plunging backs he had to resort to an aerial attack as an alternative and that in the game at Atlanta with 16 forward passes completed out of 22, Howard had set a new intercollegiate record.
He urged the men to keep up in their scholarship and to take care of their physical condition in order that they may be ready and eligible to answer the call on the 15th of next September. Ex-captain Ross spoke of Coach West as the best coach Howard has had in recent years.
'The letter men withdrew from the banquet hall to elect the captain for 1929 Harry Webb, 210 pound-right tackle, was given the honor Webb is a graduate of Latin High School in Boston, Mass., senior in College of Liberal Arts, majoring in Physical Education, for three years a member of the University Gke Club and is one of the most genial and popular students in the University.
Sound Pictures and Revue At Lafayette Theatre
Anudier splendid stage and screen program opened a week's engagement at the Lalayette Theatre. Judged by the applause of the audience the combination of sound films and the musical comedies for which the Lalayette Theatre is famous is making a real hit.
The stage play is the 1929 version of "Red Hot Mama" Gertrude Saunders is the star of the story and bears the brunt of the musical honors Dusty Fletcher is the leading comic Aided by a fine company of some thirty odd dancers, singers, comedians and dramatic artists, this clever pair of performers kept the Monday afternoon audience rolling with laughter and applause.
The feature picture for the week is "The Night Watch" starring beautiful Billy Dove. This is a gripping romance of a girl who is trapped aboard a battleship during a naval encounter and is forced to hide in the quarters of a man who is desperate for love and lust.
The picture utilizes the new sound equipment which was installed in the Lafayette Theatre last week. This new device has delighted the patrons of the Laia-yette
Miller and Lyles Coming.
For the first time in fourteen
years, Harlemites will have an
opportunity to see Miller and Lylee
in a Harlem theatre.
This famous team will appear at
the Latayette Theatre next week
in their latest musical comedy.

Drama In Tap Dance,
Says Bill Robinson
"There is as much drama in a tap dance as there is in a play," declares Bill Robinson, conceded the world's greatest tap dancer, who is one of the outstanding stars in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Elding Theatre.
"Tap dancing, in my estimation," explained Mr. Robinson, "is as much a business as playwrighting. By that I mean, unless one knows the shadings of plot, one cannot write a substantial play. And unless one knows how to introduce this idea into the tap dance one emerges but a so-so performer. I have studied tap dancing for almost forty years and believe I appreciate the fundamentals' of this art more than any one in the theatre.
"There was a time when I thought that tap dancing was merely proper recording, to music, of course, of sound beats. And while this is naturally the essential foundation on which this style dancing is based, it is nevertheless only the beginner's stage. Tap dancing must have light, color, eyes, and even motivation to give it artistic sparkle. Merely dancing in time to music is all right in its small way, but unless one brings to it soul too, it falls short of greatness.

5,000 Try To Hear
"Battle of Jazz" At
The Savoy Ballroom
The biggest attraction of the Savoy Ballroom for the fall season took place Wednesday night, December 12, when six of New York's leading jazz bands competed in a "battle of jazz" as some 2,000 dance lovers crowded the dance floor or locked on. Outside more than 2,000 were turned away because of the lack of space to accommodate more people within the building.
Never before in the memory of Harlem dance lovers, were six such personalities gathered under one roof as Duke Ellington with the soul stirring army of blue blowers; His Dixon, the big man who reversed Horace Greeley's words by telling his boys to "Go East, young men, there are new fields to conquer"; Lock wood Lewis, just a young fellow with a radiant personality; Charlie Johnson, whose music makes you feel like gliding on the air; Arthur Gibbs, one of the shining lights of Broadway; and last, but not least, Lloyd Scott, king of anconyators.
These six popular bands almost raised the roof with their melodies The building shook with applause, the throngs went wild with enthusiasm as each music master in his turn sent forth his melodies "The battle of jazz" ended well, cut any decision rendered as to who the winner was, as the giddy mob of dancers consumed the melodies of each aggregation, seemingly uncon-

SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES
The Pullman Porters Benefit Association of America, the official sick and death relief organization of the Negro employees of the Pullman Company, whose payments in sick and death claims amounted to $178,141.16 during the past year, will go a step further this year in its relief program. It will play Santa Claus to each member of the association who has been ill for six months or more and is still on the sick list, according to a notice sent out under recent date from the headquarters of the association.
The notice, which is signed by O. E. Robinson, grand secretary of the association, and attested by Perry Parker, J. W. Duncan and J. W. Botts of the Benefit Board, reads in part as follows:
"At a meeting of the Board of Directors held November 26th, 1928, it was decided to give a special allowance in the amount of Thirty ($30.00) Dollars, to each member of the Association who has been ill six months or more and is still on the sick list. This was also confirmed by the Benefit Board at its meeting of December 6th, 1928."
Reading the announcement in its entirety, there is nothing in its contents to give the impression that the directors desired the association to be looked upon as a Santa Claus, this being a term of the writer's own choosing. Nevertheless, it is patently obvious that these officers had the Yuleide spirit in mind when they voted this extra allowance to the members who have suffered prolong illness. Furthermore, this interpretation of their actions is somewhat borne out by mother excerpt in the notice, which says: "It is hoped that these checks will reach the sick members before Christmas."
Whether or not, however, this is the correct interpretation of the directors' actions, the fact remains that they have done something which cannot help but add to the impression that is gaining prevalence among the thinking members of the association that this organization is destined to play an important gift in the economic life of the Negro employees of the Pullman service. Moreover, this act of remembering the members at this time of the year, despite the fact that he may have drawn all the payments to which he is entitled under the sick limitation clause, is a definite step towards true benevolence and fraternism.
This gift of thirty dollars, although it may seem small to some, will mean much to the man who has been ill for six months or more. It will mean, perhaps, that he will not have to forgo the pleasure of giving his faithful wife the little present which he gives her every Christmas, Or, it may be the means by which he will buy the children their little Yuletide gifts. It may be that the old mother who has never failed to receive a remembrance from him on Christmas will not have to think that "her son, John, has forgotten her." Or, it may mean food, and that alone, on Christmas Day.
It can be called plain Santa Chus, acting the Good Samaritan or any other descriptive term of benevolence, which is applicable to acts of this sort, but the main point here is that the board of directors of this organization has done something for which it should be commended; it has made a gift.
While speaking of this organization, the account by Mr. Engle Roundtree, which appeared in this column last week of the annual meeting and the progress of the organization, comes to mind. Among other impressions, Mr. Rohndtree gave the opinion that, "every porter who has a son or brother, who is a porter in the service, should insist on his joining the association and help in its development." That is a strong suggestion, but he might have amplified it by suggesting that every porter in the service, who is a father should become a member. His connection might be of service some day to his son or daughter. The reason for that idea is this:
It is obvious from its reports each year that this organization is a growing affair, and its expansion will of necessity require a larger clerical personnel to carry on the work. But this personnel will have to be composed of trained persons. We people are always ranting about opportunities for our children, but as a matter of fact there is only a small number of our young folk who are efficiently trained to do special clerical work. Persons have been heard to remark that the Pullman Company couldn't and wouldn't use the services of trained Negroes. Perhaps it wouldn't use them as superintendents, but those Negroes who enter the service with any sort of clerical training do not remain present. To bear this out, we might point to the official personnel of the P. P. B. A. Then, again, who knows what will happen in the Pullman service in the next ten years?
Anyway, this organization of Negro employees is bound to expand as the years go by and the first tangible act in that direction has been made this year, even though it was nothing more perceptible than playing Santa Claus to its sick members.

William Haywood, off and on a Pullman porter to twenty-five years, died in the Presbyterian Hospital on Tuesday, December 4th, and was buried in Woodland Cemetery on Sunday, December 9th. Haywood died as he lived, so far as the porter fraternity was concerned. He was among this fraternity but never of it.
The notice posted at Mott Haven Yards telling of his death and funeral services, which services were held at St. Philips Church, caused little response by those of the porter group. Perhaps, it was just as he would have desired it. It was not in his disposition to seek crowds.
This is mentioned not with any intention to cast the least reflection on his memory, but merely to bring out the opinion that this was one man, if there ever was one, who should never have been a Pullman porter. The man's color was his tragedy.
He was one of those persons, who, according to the American code of racial identity, was not a white person. Yet, in tint of hue it was as white as any white man that ever lived. The years he worked in the Pullman service, he served as porter, waiter and private car steward. Frequently when receiving passengers these patrons would address him as conductor, and when the mistake was discovered it was usually accompanied by a whimsical look, a look which much as said, "You a Negro."
No one ever heard him make mention of the fact, but it was not difficult to see that these errors were embarrassing to him. Of course, he could easily, enough have gone into the service as a conductor without anyone ever knowing that he was anything else but a caesanian, and that is what many thought he should have done. But he came from the South, and most likely that old feeling that because he had one drop of Negro Blood in his veins he had to remain a Negro in his work, dominated him. To us, his life always seemed a little pathetic. The writer had known him for many years, and although the acquaintance was merely casual, the news of his death was an occasion for personal regret. His passing, however, is simply a reminder that the debt he paid is a debt which each and everyone of us must too pay some day.
