LEWIS EXPOSES DEMOCRATIC MISGOVERNMENT WILSON'S ADMINISTRATION SEVERELY ARRANGED BY FORMER ASSISTANT U. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY — TREATMENT OF NEGRO DEMOCRATS (Special to Journal and Guide.) New York City.—No Afro-American is more capable of speaking for the Republican party in all matters relating to it and public policy. He is particularly hospiles and aspirations of the Afro-American people, than Hon. William H. Lewis of Massachusetts, whom President Wilson removed as soon as he could get to it from the high and honorable position of Assistant Attorney General of the United States. In an address on "The Administration and the Colored Citizen" Mr. Lewis has said no many good and true things applicable to the public campaign, including the measure and Information in reading and digesting the following extracts from the address. Mr. Lewis said. I speak for ten millions of Americans, "undiluted," and for the most part, "unleached," who have never had another allegiance, and have no fatherland to claim a division of their loyalty to their country, to millions of people whose title deeds to citizenship are the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. I speak for a citizenship that cost the American people over one million lives and twelve thousand millions of dollars. I speak for the issues of this campaign is whether the American people are ready to surrender to Southern race prejudice the principles of democracy, and equal rights, for which they paid so dearly in treasure and in blood. President Wilson solicited the support of the black men, and then crucified them upon the cross of Southern men, and then had been elected, orally and in writing, to the colored leaders. Bishop Walters and his associates presented to the President a slate for the Federal offices held by colored citizens to the colored administration. Mr. Tumulty treated the whole matter as a joke, and handed the slate over to the newspapers. For weeks and months and years the faithful waited "at the open door" for a chance to see President Wilson, and were denied an audience. They were not considered among "deserving Democrats," to be rewarded for their services. The colored brother must wait. The he had waited. They are writing still. One by one the Presidential appointments held by colored men under the Republican Administration were vacated by enforced resignations and white Democrats put in their places. I found no fault that the colored office-holders were asked to resign, but I did find fault that no colored Democrats, sufficiently "deserving," could be found to put in their places. The final answer was the appeals of the colored attorneys was that appointments to office of colored men would "offend the sensibilities of the Southern people." The usual and popular excuse for the President's terversion in politics has been that the President has changed his mind. The laws of this country recognize no distinction of race or color. The spirit of Jesus knows neither bond nor free. The President of the United States is President of all the people, and has absolutely no right to measure the rights of one class of citizens by the prejudice of another class. To make permanent the segregation policies of Burleson and McAdoo; Democratic members of Congress introduced five bills to provide for segregation in the Government service. A bill was also introduced to force the government to commission or non-commissioned, in either the army or navy of the United States. Another bill was introduced to provide jim-crow cars in the District of Columbia. And, finally, as a sort of climax to the Democratic policies, a bill was submitted to repeal the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Four years ago the President said, during his campaign, "The government of our country cannot be lodged in any special class." The Administration has, nonetheless, excluded ten millions of citizens from representation in the National Government. "Bring the Government back to the people," the American people, Mr The Journal and Guide professed to have believed, and we do believe, that the people of small and weak States have a right to be dealt with in the same way as the people and powerful States would be." Did you surrender that Principle, Mr. President, in the case of Hayti and Santo Domingo. Do you still profess belief in the principle of international justice in the same way that you beheld in the principle of international justice in the principle to the Railroad Brotherhoods? The Administration was too proud to fight Germany, too sympathetic to fight Mexico; but it was not too proud or too sympathetic to fight Haiti and Dominica. What the question needs is to put away the government of the study and the typewriter, and substitute for it a government fully prepared and courageous enough to act, when need be, for the maintenance of American rights and American honor. Ten years ago Governor Hughes saluted the colored citizens of New York: "We are the law, we are this country, or the spirit that manifests itself in lynch law." What are segregation, discrimination against color, and disfranchisement, but manifestations of the spirit of lynch law? There are a million Negro votes in the great States of the Border, the East Coast, and the South, be cast and counted in this election. The colored voters of the Nation have the opportunity and the responsibility to work out their own salvation, to restore the Administration at Washington to the party of Lincoln, and Grant, and McKinley, and Roosevelt, and aid in the redemption of America to the thirteenth place she has always held among the Nations of the World. Meanwhile, at our homes and fireplaces, in our churches and societies, let us pray, even as our fathers did, for deliverance from the tyranny and oppression of the present Administration at Washington. "As God was for our Fathers so will He be for us." And, on the 4th day of March, next, with Charles Evans Hughes as President, there will be another day and a new era of progress for our race and country.

EAST CAROLINA RACE PROGRESS FARMERS INCREASING LAND HOLDINGS AND IMPROVING FACILITIES - CHURCH AND SCHOOL GROWTH ENCOURAGING. \(By A. M. Vam.) Greenville, N. C. It is always a pleasure to me to mention from time to time something about the progress our people are making in various sections of the country I visit. You may not see an article from me as often as you expect but I assure you I do not forget you. During the month of June, we visited many places, in fact our work has excelled any previous year. We have met a large number of our leading and progressive farmers who have helped to make our work a great success. Many of them are blessed with a splendid crop and they are getting good prices for their produce. They are all full of smiles and clated over their success. The farmers are the leading men of the country, the farmer felt himself the least amused other men but that day has passed. No man ranks higher than the scientific, up-to-date farmer. We note here with pride in Eastern Carolina we find some of the leading farmers of our race. I would like to mention some personally but space will not allow me. Through a large number of these good men our work has been made. They must read to keep up with the doings of the country. Therefore we were able to place the Guide and Crisis in more than 600 hands during October with a collection of $600.00. Our banner report was made during the month when I sent in 115 subscribers with $102.00 in one week. For five years that same week; in every October has been my banner year. Last month we received the newsletter in one week was $83.00. The year in report excelled it $21.00. I want to thank the many friends for their loyal support. Among the towns I have made a recent visit during the past month were: Rocky Mount, Enfield, Whitaker, Wilson, Farmville, Grooville, Ayden, Griffon, Washington, Kinston, Dover and LaGrange, N.C. I had a splendid success in each town. I find the observation that by my report: Among the various meetings I attended were the Bear Creek Association held in Greenville, which was largely attended with Rev. A. Smith moderator. From there I went to Ayden to the North East Free Will Conference. This Conference raised over $1,000.00. Rev. S. Wilson is its moderator. He is a fine leader. Our past meeting as a women leader. Our past meeting as a women leader, where I spent one day at the Disciple Assembly, Rev. Hodges, the Chief, is a pious man and knows how to deal with his people. We were made welcome and given an opportunity to speak of our work. I also attended other Union Meetings in Kinston, Rev. Whitfield is the Chief in the Union, in the highest terms of the work which I did. I made it very impressive after I had spoken to his people. Nearly every man gave me a subscription to our paper. I want to thank Rev. Whitfield and his good people for their kindness. The South West Free Will Conference met in Griffon, N.C. Rev. E. M. Hill of LaGrange is their moderator. This conference is doing a great work. We have strong support to Kinston College. This conference cost $2,100.00. Most of this money goes for education. They have a splendid church paper, edited by Prof. J. H. C. Smith of Kinston. In each meeting and town the very best courtesy was shown me, and each one showed that they were interested in our work. I cannot forget these people how they talk. I have every way shown their appreciation for our success. In a few days I shall leave the town and visit a few towns in South Carolina among them will be Bennetsville, Darlington, Florence, Sumter and Columbia, S. C. I shall also make short stops in Fayetteville, Dunn, Red Springs, Maxton and Laurinburg. We have a large number of subscribers in each one of these towns and we are hoping each one will continue their business with many new ones be added. Except me, your pay, any day. Keep your subscription 'money' in your pocket so if you chance to see me you can pay it. More will be said later. Again I thank each of you for your kindness. Y. M. C. A. MEMBERSHIP The Y. M. C.

(Special to Journal and Guide.) Suffolk, Va., Nov. 1.—The seventh annual fair of the Tidewater Fair Association, held here October 24-27 inclusive, was pronounced the best in every respect yet held. The improvement was so noticeable in every department that General Manager W. H. H. his associates in the movement were congratulated upon every hand by white and colored visitors. The Tidewater Fair is not merely an occasion for the coming together of the farmers of Nansenand and adjoining counties for a few days of pleasure. It has proved, and is contributing to demonstrate that it is a medium of education and inspiration. The people who attend the fair not only exhibit progress of a high order, demonstrating the craft, but our people in industry and in the arts and science of agriculture, but they are afforded an opportunity to hear speeches that are practical and highly informing. The Exhibits The exhibits included every phase of farming and home making. There were peanuts, corn, cotton, tobacco, peas, pumpkins, poultry, hogs, horses, cows and oxen. County Demonstrator Paul Blanford said in his address on Farmers' Day that the exhibits this year were forty per cent better than ever before. Ther were also excellent exhibits of canned and preserved goods, sewing and fancy work. The school exhibits were also creditable. The Speakers. The addresses were of a high order. Of Farmers' Day the principal speakers were County Demonstrator Paul Blanford, Joseph J. H. Holland, T. E. Oweni, C. W. Juke, J. Walter Weaver, Edward T. Joyce, J. Hodgus; Mesdames-Laurn Hodges, H. Holland and Corrina Boykin. All of the addresses were along practical lines and related to the farm and home.

COLORED SCHOOLS POINTS OUT HOW 200,000 NEGLECTED SCHOOL CHILDREN MAY BE HELPED. (By Chas. H. Moore.) Greensboro, N. C., Nov. 2.—When the former Attorney-General of Massachusetts, A. E. Pillbury, staunch abolitionist and sincere friend of the Negro, was requested recently to contribute to a fund to carry before the Supreme Court of the U. S. an issue upon whose decision we, as a race, are most vitally interested, he replied: "I have almost made up my mind more than once that it is of little use to do anything for the colored people while they do so little for themselves, but... When we read the above statement, the truth of which is noteless felt by those of us who are fighters of our State of the dark pall of illiteracy that hangs so heavily over it; and furthermore, when we recall that they, who are mostly to be benefited by this fight, viz: the parents in the rural districts and the teachers of their children, are manifesting such a no interest in contributing towards our expense of this movement, we are怕害怕 to say that, if does neither their heads nor their hearts any credit, to say the least. Many of our people have a peculiar propensity, which, if it were properly trained and directed by the leaders, would benefit the race in more than one way. For instance, if a member of the race is cruelly mistreated or killed without a just cause by some brutal officer of the law, or if on the hand he perchance kills this officer, unjustly imposing upon him—in either when an appeal is made in our churches in the ledge rooms, or in the public highways for money to help prosecute this brutal white policeman, or to aid in defending the Negro, who may have justified in doing so not difficulty to raise $300 to $500 comparatively short. Don't misunderstand me, to do not observe or such steps being taken, the above cases; for, whenever a abiding member of the race is unjustly beaten brutally mistreated, or is arrested, the law innocent of any infraction of the law, the land, his cause should then become the cause of every other member of the race. For only by manifesting such a spirit will we deserve the respect and gain the recognition of other races that have amounted to anything worth while. "These ought ye to have done, and not leave the other undone."—Mat. 23:23. But how is it when the paramount question of the education of the masses is brought before our people is given there is not it response in giving there is not it cause, such as in the apprehension of education is far more imptant, everlasting and valuable than any case in any court. To accomplish anything great as permanent in life requires co-operative effort. What this race of our stans most in need of is co-operation. N. G. State Teachers' Association is trying to form co-operation with the friends of education, through out the State to improve the rural school conditions. Last year scores of broad-guaged men and women generously responded to the appeals issued from time to time by Dr. A. M. Moore, Secretary and Treasurer of the Rural School Examination Department. The different fraternities of the Masons, Old Fellows, K. of P.'s, Household of Ruth, also nobly and liberally came to the rescue. Last year the movement was something new and, as is very often the case, our enthusiasm was somewhat at a high pitch. This year there seems to be a slump in our exuberant spirit. This, also, is too often the case with so many of us. In this tendency on the part of some people to act only when their feelings are stirred up. They seem to give themselves up to that manner of life. Persons who decide upon a certain course temporarily, and then allow their interest to cool off, simply, because there is not a personal representative always on hand to keep it alive, are unfortunately hindrances to co-operative effort. Some writer has well said, "To be wise, you factors in co-operative undertakings, and weigh well whatever is put before them, and when a course is entered upon you, allow a mere lapse of time or the absence of the arousing influence to cause them to lose their zeal. They should have an internal battery to keep themselves awake in their enthusiasm." Friends of education, having said this much, I now appeal to you in behalf of the 200,000 neglected school children in the rural districts of this State, shall the effective results of the good work already accomplished rest here for the lack of proper support? If not, be good enough to send a contribution, large or small—right. We have Watches, Clocks, Rings and Jewelry for sale.

Wilson Jefferson, in concluding in the Evening Post of New York an exhaustive discussion of the effect of the European war upon the colored American, says: To get a gimpse of the possibilities wrapped up in Negro labor one has only to investigate the more progressive of the manufacturing cities of the south. Birmingham, Ala., depends almost wholly upon the Negro for its unskilled and semiskilled labor. Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis and Jacksonville do likewise. But in all of these towns, save in some instances in Birmingham, wages are too low, housing conditions are poor and the advantages for recreation and pleasure exceedingly limited. It will be from these localities that Negroes will emigrate to the middle west and east and to localities where wages are good and where there are opportunities for pleasure and self improvement. No class of labor remains satisfied indefinitely under oppressive conditions. The Negro laborer is no exception to the rule. He has tried the south. He is willing to try the east and middle west. All he has awaited is a genuine call, based upon a real and lasting need. This movement eastward and westward of unskilled Negro labor will both directly and indirectly help the professional Negro. The younger element of Negro workers, those of ambition and of some training in the schools, will be constantly emerging from the unskilled to the semiskilled and skilled classes, with a consequent increase in their payrolls and a betterment in their methods of living. This will give the Negro professional man a hold in many not strictly Negro communities and will give him what a few of his colleagues now possess in the larger centers—a clientele that will be of all colors and of all races. It will allow those of marked natural ability to rise higher in their profession than they would if limited in their practice to only one race and class. A decidedly better treatment of the Negro, both in the north and in the south, will grow out of this scattering of the race. The old condition grew out of the fact that the demand for his labor has been limited and the supply unlimited. Other influences, some sinister and some not so sinister, have worked against him. In the south it has been that old and seemingly ineractical prejudice which would give to him only those things which the white man did not want. Not infrequently the ostracism that came to the Negro in the east and middle west came by virtue of the fact that in religion, in race and sometimes in politics he has been an outsider. It is not unnatural in the small community for the priest to intercede with the employer for his flock and for those of his persuasion.

I was not able to walk a great distance as my heart would palpitate too rapidly. I tried the physicians, both white and colored and found no relief. The last physician whom I went to see advised me to give up all my house work and go to some quiet spot, as medicines would do me very little, if any good. About that time I saw Rev. Cummings and had a talk with him. He advised me to begin his treatment at once and I would soon feel better. I did so and although my recovery has not been so rapid as some owing to the complication of diseases, yet I can say that through the help of the Lord and Rev. Cummings, I find my health very greatly improved, so much so that I am not only able to care for my own home but assist him as nurse in the Sanitarium for six months. I cheerfully recommend the German Bath System to all who suffer from ills of the body. May the Lord bless this work and may Rev. Cummings live long to carry on this noble work. SEWALL'S POINT Mt.

BOWSFIELD Poultry profits have steadily risen among experts in the last few years, but they ought to be much higher than they are. Many amateurs and those farmers who look on chickens, geese and ducks as a side line have not reached a proper basis. A dollar a year for each hen is no longer satisfactory, although it was above the average five years ago. Now that the poultry industry has developed with many persons into a regular business it is worth while to make careful estimates of its possibilities and try to reach reasonably good returns. Market conditions are more favorable to high profits than they formerly were, and careful management may be expected to bring the net income from a flock of chickens up to $2 each. High prices, increasing knowledge and special catering to market requirements are all on the side of poultry owners. The person who gives time and care to the systematic management of a flock along modern and approved lines deserves success and may depend on galing a fair profit on both investment and labor. A growing demand for day old chicks and brothers broodens the opportunity for money making. Expert use of mod- A man is planting a tree in a garden. A GROWING DEMAND FOR DAY OLD CHICKS AND BROILERS. ern incubators enables poultry owners to enlarge their business and add to the profits. Another aid is the trap nest, by which the best layers are known. Good pullets are needed for breeding stock, while poor ones should be sold as poultry meat. This work of selection is a modern idea, and it means much in the matter of profits. There have been radical changes in methods of feeding in the last two or three years. A high rate of egg production is helped by intelligent feeding and sanitary housing as well as by careful selection and good management generally. One of the strongest points in successful poultry raising is to keep chickens free from vermin, and next to this is comfortable housing in clean, properly ventilated buildings. All of these ideas have received emphasis in recent years, and higher profits and general progress are the results among those who are carrying out principles which make for success. It is worth while now and again to make estimates on the profits which may be secured in any line of activity, being careful not to indulge in impractical theories. A hen laying ten dozen eggs in a year returns a net profit of about $1.50, allowing $1 for cost of maintenance. The average price is at least 25 cents per dozen. Fifteen dozen would bring the profit to about $2.75. This may be increased by hatching a certain proportion of the eggs. If the product of the hen reached fifteen dozen eggs it would be good policy to sell ten dozen and incubate five dozen. Allowing $7 for thirty-five broilers and $2.50 for ten dozen eggs, there ought to be a profit from the year's production of at least $6 after allowing $3.50 for feed and incidental expenses. Without doubt the net earnings of the fowl can be materially raised by the system of incubating a considerable number of the eggs and marketing a certain amount of poultry meat. In figuring possible profits it is best to cut the amount down 50 per cent from what seems reasonable on paper. A few poultriers have hens which produce more than fifteen dozen eggs, and the price in some instances averages as much as 30 cents a dozen. Then by the sale of settings, day old chicks or finely bred pullets and roosters, profits may run much beyond the figures given above. There are sure to be drawbacks, however, and beginners must not make their calculations too high. Where geese and ducks can have a field of alfalfa or clover to range upon they produce meat at a low cost. Geese ought to net $2 aplece and ducks $1, after making full allowance for the fattening process. Ducks are less profitable because it requires more grain or mill feed to fatten them. Fine breeding stock will give still larger returns on these fowls. Ventilation In Storage. Lack of proper ventilation in the root cellar is responsible for the loss of considerable quantities of stored potatoes, carrots, roots and vegetables. A safe cellar is frostproof and is provided, with good ventilation to keep the roots or potatoes from rot or decay Addition of Available Plant Food Materially Increases Yield. [F. L. Duley, Missouri station.] Eleven years' work on the soil experiment fields in practically every section of Missouri has shown on most of the soils, especially the thinner and more worn ones, that the addition of available plant food has materially increased the yield and quality of wheat and has paid good returns on the money invested in fertilizers. On medium to poor lands the amount of available plant food is always one of the limiting factors in wheat production. The average farmer cannot greatly change the fertility of his soil in a short period of time, but he may often temporarily increase its productiveness to a very marked extent. This is most commonly done by the addition of barnyard manure or some form of commercial fertilizer. Manure is, of course, the material most advisable so long as it lasts, but most farmers, especially those on the thinner lands, find their manure supply exhausted long before their fields are covered. Then in order to obtain the best yields from the rest of their land an application of some soluble plant food must be made. It is a general practice among farmers to add manure to the corn crop and apply commercial fertilizers when necessary before wheat. Wheat is the most universally fertilized cereal. This is largely because it responds more readily to treatment than the other grain crops. Nearly all of the thinner solids of the state are comparatively low in available phosphorus. Applications of this element in soluble form usually give the largest and most profitable returns. It is the cheapest and most easily obtained of any of the important plant food elements. The supply for this part of the country is found mainly in bonemeal, acid phosphate or in various mixed fertilizers. Bonemeal may be applied at the rate of from 125 to 150 pounds an acre, but 16 per cent acid phosphate should also give good profit if applied at the rate of about 150 or 200 pounds per acre, and mixed fertilizers which carry a small supply of nitrogen as well as considerable phosphorus will give good results on lands that are deficient in nitrogen and organic matter. Most of them should be applied at the rate of 125 to 150 pounds an acre. Nitrogen gives good results with wheat, but it costs so much in fertilizers containing more than 2 or 3 per cent of it. Potash is another fertilizer that is good in increasing wheat yields, but is entirely too high for use at present on account of the European war, which has cut off the supply from Germany. HOME CARE OF FRUIT. Canning Outfit is a Good Investment For the Farmer. [L. G. Herron; Oklahoma station.] Many dollars' worth of fruit is wasted every year because of lack of facilities for caring for it at home. There are numerous persons owning home orchards who have many times more fruit than they can use at home during plentiful fruit seasons. Commercial growers find that they have a large amount of cult and overripe fruit on their hands. If the proper equipment is provided this fruit can be worked up into valuable products. A home canning outfit is one of the best investments. With the use of this a large amount of fruit may be preserved with a minimum amount of work. First grade caimed fruit usually commands a price high enough to bring a reasonable profit to the producer. A small home fruit evaporator can be constructed by almost any one. A small building may even be used by covering the cracks and openings. The inside can be arranged so that wire traps can be slipped in for spreading the fruit on. Any small heating stove will furnish the necessary heat. Thirty inches square is a convenient size to make the trays. What is sold as "hardware cloth" is very good for making the bottom of the trays. A cider mill is another useful piece of equipment in caring for fruit. Jams, jellies, marinatedades and grape juice are other possibilities where conditions are favorable for extensive equipment. An Economical Hoghouse. The hoghouse is built six feet square. Both doors are hinged. Yellow pine is used for flooring as it is lighter and much easier to more when necessary, and is warm in cold, wet weather. The door in the roof can be opened when the sun shines. Sunshine is the best tonic know., for little pigs in early spring. This door also will be handy as a means of entrance at pigging time.

Industrious and Well Qualified Social Service Worker In General Office of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colorad People Given Charge of New Branch Office In New York. 1930 New York.—The United league closed the last ten days of its fiscal year, ending in September, with a financial campaign to raise $3,400 in order to complete its year's work without a deficit. John D. Rockefeller and A.T. White pledged $1,000 of this amount if the $1,800 could be raised before the fiscal year expired. The league was successful in raising this sum through the assistance of many wealthy people of the downtown district and several of the leading colored citizens. Among the colored people who contributed substantially to the campaign are: Rev. Hutchins G. Bishop, Bishop Alexander Watters, Dr. Leo Fitz Nearon, Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Edward A. Warren, Mrs. W. F. Trotman, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Fred R. Moore, Claude M. Moton, Major R. R. Moton and members of the Union Baptist church, of which Dr. G. H. Sims is pastor. The league is extending its work locally by the opening of a branch office at 202 West Sixty-third street, this city. Miss Vivienne A. Ward, for many years an assistant in the industrial department of the league, will be placed in charge of the office, which will be conducted in co-operation with the work of the Lincoln House. The league recently completed an intensified investigation of the social care in the high infant mortality in Columbus hill. When the facts discovered are presented in final form by Miss Naomi R. Spencer, investigator, the work of organizing a movement for reducing this death rate will be inaugurated. This will take the shape of house to house visits to mothers of young babies by experienced nurses and women who know the best methods of caring children and possibly the establishment of a day nursery. The extension of the league's work to other cities will be carried on vigorously during the winter. Engene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the league, will spend most of his time in October in Chicago and Cleveland to promote movements in those cities. Mr. Jones has visited Richmond and Washington in the same connection. Dr. George E. Haynes, executive secretary, with headquarters in Nashville, Tenn., visited cities in Tennessee during September for the same purpose. In conducting the work of the league during the past year more than $30,000 has been expended through the league's treasury. The colored people have contributed more toward this work this year than at any time since the league has been organized. GILLIEAN IN NEW FIELD. Newspaper Reporter Appointed Texas Agent For an Insurance Company. Harrison M. Gillian, who was for many years one of the chief promoters of the Chisolm news service at Denison, Tex., was recently appointed state agent for the Standard Life Insurance company of Atlanta, Ga.

Mr. Gillian has traveled a great deal in the different sections of the state and nation and is well known. As a former official and as a member of the National Negro Press association, Mr. Gillian represents the interest of the association with vigor. He is naturally gifted as a newspaper "booster," and his reports of important happenings among our people are always informing. Joshua A. Crawford of Boston Dies. In the death at Boston of Joshua A.

Mayor Rockwood of Cambridge, Mass., Bars "Birth of a Nation." The interest which our people are taking in matters of public moment in regard to their rights as citizens is becoming more and more intensified. They are using to good advantage the right of protest against wrong and petition for relief granted by the federal constitution. Results are being obtained along many lines where injustice, like a wolf, walks in sheep's clothing to strike down the innocent without warning. Once more by the united efforts of our people the photo play known as "The Birth of a Nation" has been refused permission to perform. A news dispatch from J. Thomas Harrison, editor of the Cambridge (Mass.) Advocate and national committeeman for Massachusetts, representing the National Negro Press association, to N. B. Dodson Oct. 26 sated that the colored people of Cambridge, ministers and business men, led by T. S. Harten, appeared before Mayor Rockwood at the city hall and protested against the play above named being permitted to show in one of the theaters in Cambridge and that, after hearing the objections to the play, the mayor refused to let the promoters stage the play in Cambridge. The people had become aroused as to the danger and injustice of the show to the colored people through the editorials of Editor Harrison in the Advocate. Thus again the power of the press in behalf of justice has brought good results. Campaign For Y. W. C. A. Members. The Young Women's Christian association in Indianapolis launched a campaign on Sunday, Oct. 15, for the purpose of increasing the membership to 800. Since the provisional branch was organized in 1914, with the understanding that the work would not be put upon a permanent basis until the membership reached 800. Miss Vlahla Chaplin has the work well in hand and expects to enroll more than the required number of new members before the campaign is over. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson VI.—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 5, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Acts xxvii, 38, to xxviii, 10—Memory Verses, 42-44, Golden Text, Ps. xxivx, 22—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Part of Paul's message was that the ship would be lost and that they would be cast upon an island (xxvll, 22, 26). And about midnight of the fourteenth night of the storm the shipmen deemed that they were nearing some land and, taking soundings, found it even so; therefore they cast out four anchors and longed for daylight. It was while they were thus anchored that Paul persuaded them to take some food (xxvll, 27-38). When it was day they saw a creek with a shore where they might possibly run the ship aground; so, cutting off the anchors and holding the mainsail, they made for the shore; the fore part of the ship stuck fast, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves, yet all got safely ashore, either by swimming or on broken pieces of the ship (xxvll, 30-44), as God had told Paul by the angel. Notice in verses 30, 31, 42, 43 how some might have hindered the purpose of God to save them all. Concerning the great salvation, God has provided it for all and will have all to be saved and is not willing that any should perish (I Tlm. II, 4; Titt. II, 11; margin; I Pet. III, 9), but if any will not accept God's way they must perish, not because He wills it, but because they decide against Him, or, as He said, "Ye will not come unto me." "I would ** * we would not." "Israel would none of me" (John v, 40; Matt, xxiii, 37; Ps. Ixxl, 11). When they reached the land they found that they were on the island which we now call Malta, and they received much kindness from the people, who because of the rain and cold kniled a fire and welcomed them. They are called barbarous people, but many who are so called have often shown more kindness than those called Christian. It is deeds, that tell, not words or names. A few years ago the world was shocked by the atrocities of the Boxers in China, but now the civilized (7) nations of Europe are far ahead of all barbarisms in monstrous and indescribable atrocities, and the end is not yet June, 1915a. The words in xxvll, 30, "When it was day" and the change from being exceedingly tossed on the sea by a great tempest to being again on the land, make us think of one night when, until the morning watch, the disciples toled in a boat against a contrary wind, and He saw them, yet not till the fourth watch did He come walking on the sea, but when they received Him into their boat they were immediately at the hand (John vi, 18:21). We are certainly in the worst storm our poor earth ever saw, and men's hearts are falling them for fear, because of the distress of nations with perplexity, but the day will dawn, a morning without clouds, and we will not be shipwrecked, but caught up to meet Him in the air, whose we are and whom we serve (Luke xxl, 25, 26; Rom. xill, 12; H Sam. xxll, 4; I Thess. 1r, 10, 17). Our God shall come and shall not keep silence; though He harry we will wait for Him (Ps. l, 3; Heb. x, 36, 37). Paul gathered sticks to help make the fire burn, then came the viper, and again he is misjudged and thought to be a murderer, but when he shook off the beast and felt no harm and did not fall down dead they changed their minds and said he was a god (xxvll. 3-0, just like the people at Lystra (Acts xiv), but in the reverse order, for they first worshiped him and then stoned him. Such is poor human nature that judges by appearances. But let us lay to heart some lessons, thinking just for a moment of Peter, who warmed himself where he should not have been and brought upon himself a lot of trouble, for the viper, the old serpent, took hold of him and would scare let go. Consider your prayer meeting the place where you ought to go to get warmed up. Have you ever thrown on a stick or two to help make the fire burn? A word of praise or prayer to magnify Him. Then did the viper light on you as you overheard some one ridicule your testimony? Well, what did you do—fall down dead and never speak in meeting again, or did you shake off the beast and feel no harm? God had another handful for Paul and his companions by making them welcome in the home of the chief man of the island, and then He had a reward for Pubilus by healing his father by the hands of Paul. That led to many coming to be heated, and more handfuls for Paul in the form of many honors, and when they departed they were loaded with all that they needed. During the three months that they remained on the Island Paul would not fall to do as he always did and preach Jesus and the resurrection, and though it is not so recorded, we shall surely hear of it and its results in the kingdom. Not all the things that our Lord Himself said and did are recorded (John xx, 30, 31; xxl, 25), and if some of ours are not written on earth all His through us are written in heaven, and not even a cup of cold water given in His name shall lose its reward. Even our thoughts of Him are recorded (Mat. 11, 10). In His service we are assured that such things as are necessary will without fail be given us (Phil. iv, 19). for the promise is "with Him freely all things" (Rom. vill, 32). See also Matt. vl. 32-33. NEWS OF THE CITY CHURCHES SHILOH NOTES. Unless the people were at home watching for the fall of the last deadly fruit from the Upas tree last Sunday, we are at a loss to know why the attendance was so small at the churches. Notwithstanding the published programs, worshipers at the alter were few and far between. Services were interesting however at Shiloh and highly spiritual. The Sunday School under Supt. Batts is making rapid progress, likewise the B. Y. P. U. under President Miss A. Eliza Coppage. Those who witnessed her program last Sunday were loud in praise for the way she is helping the young folks. A splendid program has been planned for Tuesday, November 7th, at Shiloh Baptist Church, when a great debate will be had under the auspices of the Sunday School. The subject for discussion will be, "Resolve that the Public School has done more for the development of Christianity than the Sunday School." One side will be Profs. Jacox and Custis, on the other side, Mr. Thomas Stancel and Dr. Byers. Don't fail to be present and hear for yourself. Sunday will be rally day at Shiloh, and the pastor expects to see every member at his post. CHURCH DIRECTORY QUEEN STREET BAPTIST CHURCH—New, F. W. Williams, B. D. Pastor. Sunday Services—6:00 n. m.

There were three well-attended and enthusiastic gatherings here last Sunday, the morning and evening services and the afternoon mass meeting addressed in a most eloquent and telling manner by the fearless and popular Rev. John Roach Straton of the First Baptist Church (white). Dr. Straton's address was on "Unconscious Influence." It teemed with witticisms, interesting recitals of personal experiences in various parts of the world, fascinating descriptions and striking epigrams. The speaker reached his climax, however, when he rehearsed a touching scene in his boyhood days down in Georgin. There was hardly a dry eye either among the colored people or among the white friends, who had come out in large numbers. Those who failed to hear Dr. Straton missed a treat. And those who fail to be present this Sunday on Women's Day will miss a greater treat still. Mrs. D. I. Hayden, founder of the large Normal and Industrial School at Franklin, Va., and one of our race's leading woman speakers, will deliver the principal address. Mrs. Hayden's school has been built by her speeches. She has mastered audiences all over Virginia and New England. This is Norfolk's first chance to hear her at her best. Come early. Women on lower floor. Men in galleries. Women will furnish all musical numbers. The pastor has preached on The Apostie's Teaching about spiritual Gifts and on Spiritual Gifts. This Sunday he will preach the first of a series on the several gifts individually, taking up first of all the greatest gift, "The Christians Daily Helper." Great Meetings at Palace Theater Led By Dr. Charles S. Morris. For the past month great crowds have from time to time thronged the Palace Theatre to hear the wonderful testimonies on Sanctification of the merry spirit filled Christians who testify that Jesus is not only able to forgive but to keep them from falling. Last Sunday night after a sermon by Dr. Morris on "Sin no more less a worse thing come upon thee" the meeting was thrilled by the speech of Dr. Handy who rejoiced in the fact that the Lord had sanctified him. This Sunday there will be a great Temperance meeting in the afternoon at 3 o'clock and at night Dr. Handy will preach for Dr. Morris. Sunday morning Dr. Morris will have services as usual. These services by their wonderful spirited flavor are proving a blessing to all who attend them. Last week Dr. Morris spoke at the great Laymens Missionary Meeting in Atlanta.

St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 30.—The Convention of the Episcopal Church, which has been in session here for the past three weeks, has had several very important points to deal with. One of the important ones has been the Negro Episcopate. It has decided that the Suffragan Bishops, who herefore have had no voice in the house of bishops, but who worked under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of the Diocese, will be given a seat and voice in the House of Bishops. If the several dioceses see the need of a colored Bishop one may be chosen and consecrated. The colored Episcopalians are pleased over this decision. The convention did not grant a Missionary Bishop to the Negroes as they claim it will bring about a sharper racial line and tend to separate the church. Sunday School Union. On Sunday, October 29, 1916, the First Division of the Baptist Sunday School Unions of Princess Anne County, Va., held quite a successful meeting with Union Kempsville S. S. near Kempsville, Va. This Union has an educational feature, and gave ten dollars to aid two young ladies now attending high schools. The total collection was $63.23, of which amount the home school received $49.84. The next meeting will be held with the Mt. Olive S. S., Sentack, Va. Rev. I. S. Arnold is president;E. Williams, secretary. Jerusalem Baptist Church Notes. Last Friday night brought to a close the splendid revival at this church, conducted by Rev. W. T. Anthony, D. D., of Richmond, Va. The crowds that greeted the speaker each night, evidenced his ability as a revivalist and preacher. Twenty-five persons accepted Christ during the ten days the Doctor was with us. There will be baptizing at this church this Sunday at the close of the night sermon. The pastor will preach Sunday morning at 11:30 on the "Frailty of Man, and the immutability of the Gospel." At night his theme will be "Christian Growth." Monday night of the 6th, there will be an old plantation supper given at the church by Mrs. Julia Vines and others. This splendid affair will tend to bring members and friends together in a social way. Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. Good services were had at Metropolitan all day Surday. Rev.

Duz- ABLE DIRECTOR OF VOCAL MUSIC SOME OF HIS ACHIEVEMENTS Brilliant Young. Compassor Who Graduated From the Oberlin Conservatory of Music Evinces Wonderful Capacity as Organizer and Leader of Choral Work—Knows. How to Get Results. Hampton, Va.—R, Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music at Hampton institute, whose home is at Niagara Falls, is a Canadian by birth and is one of the most successful of the younger American musicians of the present day. In 1908 he was graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music with the degree of bachelor of music, being the first Negro in America to receive such a degree for work done in original composition. As he had been a brilliant pianist from childhood, the general expertise A. B. Director of Vocal Music at the Hampton (Va.) Institute. tion was that he would choose the career of an artist. But being endowed with something of the missionary spirit, he took up teaching in the south. For three years he was director of music at Lane college, Jackson, Tenn. Under his direction the Lane College Choral society became a great factor at the school and in the life of the community. Cantatas given by the students and the recitals held under their auspices broke all previous records for attendance. During the season of 1010 he gave two piano recitals in Memphis, attracting the largest crowds of colored people ever assembled there to hear a single performer. He successfully appeared twice in Birmingham, Aln., under the auspices of the Inter-club to assist in raising money for charitable purposes. The second tour to Birmingham included appearances at Mason City and the Alabama State college. During the last two years at Lane he composed the Magnolia suite and five numbers for the piano. The next year he was elected simultaneously as director of music to the Kansas City High school and the Lincoln institute. Jefferson City, Mo. He chose the latter place, and his work again met with great success. Having charge of the Lincoln institute orchestra, a new outlet was given to his creative genius, and his orchestral ar THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE ing the evening a bouffet supper was survived.

Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Davis of Hampton, Vn., have returned from Palmer Springs. Miss Eva Holmon and Mr. Fitchette of Norfolk, spent Sunday in the city, the guests of Mrs. J. D. Hatcher in Colloden street. Miss Hester Tynes has returned to Norfolk after spending a week with her mother, Mrs. Annie Tynes in Spruce street. Miss Aquilla Riddick left Tuesday for Rich Square, N. C., where she has accepted a position as teacher. On Monday evening the home of Mrs. Lydia Eure in Pine street was the scene of a quiet, but very pretty fall wedding, when her daughter, Janie Mae, was quietly married to Mr. Tazewell Johnson of Petersburg, Va. The ceremony was performed by the bride's pastor, Rev. J. A. Harrell, of the First Baptist Church. Immediately after the ceremony the couple left for Petersburg, where they will make their future home. Mrs. Johnson was one of Suffolk's most popular young ladies and Mr. Johnson is one of Petersburg's rising young business men. rangements were among the most striking and popular features of the school's programs. The piano and voice students being much advanced, he very wisely devoted more time to their instructions, sacrificing his own public performances to his pupils' advancement. As a result cantatas, solo recitals, orchestral and choral concerts given by the students followed in splendid success. His second suite, "In the Bottoms," was a success. In five years Mr. Dett established his reputation as a successful teacher and had numerous offers as music director. After an interview in Chicago with Major Robert R. Moton of Hampton he decided to accept the directorship of the music of the Hampton school. Mine, K. Azulla Hackley had given a number of "demonstrations" at the institute and was enthusiastic over the possibilities of the large student body. At Hampton Mr. Dett's work has received enthusiastic, almost nation wide recognition. His first important step was the organization of the Hampton Choral Union, a music club composed of all the singers of the various choirs throughout the community. This organization took upon itself the study of classic works and the raising of music standards. To this end they proceeded to present some of the best musical artists of the country. Last May the first music festival was held in the gymnasium of the Hampton institute during the commencement week of the school. The elixin of the series of four concerts was the presentation of the "Rose Maldon" cantata by a chorus of 800 voices, four soloists and orchestra. This is probably the first time in the history of the south that a Negro chorus has sung to the accompaniment of a white orchestra, under the direction of a Negro conductor. The performance was unanimously voted a stupendous success. The Houston Post reasons that it was easier for its own beloved Democracy to indorse the president's Mexican policy than to define it. While he was about it Senator James Hamilton Lewis also might have explained that the Rome that was "too proud to fight" died a ratker disastrous death. "In all fairness," asks the Boston Transcript, "shouldn't the expense of financing Carranza be borne by the Democratic campaign committee?" Democrats really haven't any objection to big appropriations for army and navy and internal improvements. They expect the Republicans to rustle the revenue to foot the bills for the next four years. Hughes says he would like six months to investigate the administration, but the administration figures he's doing very well as it is. Yes, and the same policies that have filled Judge Hughes and others with "a deep sense of shame" have sent many other Americans to their graves. The president has changed his mind about sending more troops to the border, thus running true to form. When Tom Taggart talks economy to them it is time the Democrats stopped their extravagance. The Hughes smile is beginning to attract favorable attention. NOTABLE CAREER OF EDGAR A. LONG Steps In the Life of Native Alabama Boy Who Rose From Messenger In Office of Tuskegee's Founder to Principalship of Large Normal and Industrial School in Virginia. Christiansburg, Va.—Professor Edgar Allen Long, principal of the Christiansburg Normal and Industrial institute in this town, is a native of Tuskegee. Ala. His father and mother were both unlettered, though they had a passion for the education of their children. Young Long first went to school in the old church building on Zion's hill, on which Dr. Booker T. Washington founded the famous Tuskegee institute. With the advent of Dr. Washington into Tuskegee the whole course of Mr. Long's life changed. In those early Tuskegee days boys were taken from the model school to work in the office of Mr. Washington, and it was as a messenger in this office, coming into daily contact with the great leader, that fired young Long's ambition to try for the "heights by great men reached and kept." In 1857, two years after the first class had graduated from Tuskegee, Mr. Long was carried with his family to Birmingham, the "Magic City" which sprang up in northern Alabama following the opening up of the coal and ore mines. But the seed had been EDGAR ALLEN LONG. sown, and Long could not remain out of school. At the death of his father in 1880, leaving his mother and two sisters, the support of which relied upon his shoulders, it was a question whether he should stay home and support them or return to Tuskegee and complete his education. He wisely chose the latter course, and in December, 1891, he entered Tuskegee, his old home and school. Since he had no funds and no one to help him he set about to learn the printer's trade at Tuskegee, which he did in 1893. He had charge of the Tuskegee printing office during the summer months and was for several years business manager of the Student, the paper published by the school. Graduating from Tuskegee with second honors in 1893, he was immediately called to Birmingham, Ala., to take charge of the Alabama Publishing company that had been organized by the late Dr. W. R. Pettiford. Mr. Long was also the assistant bookkeeper at the Alabama Penny Savings bank and private secretary to Dr. Pettiford. It was while serving in this capacity that the call came to go to Christmastown. Accepting this position, he entered upon his duties in the fall of 1S07. He was gratified to take up his new work because there were several Tuskegee graduates there. The principal of Christmastown, the late Charles L. Marshall, was a roommate, classmate and lifelong friend, and Anna Lee Patterson, who afterward became his wife, were classmates, and there were three other Tuskegee graduates at this school. Because of his experience as bookkeeper at the bank in Birmingham Mr. Long was made treasurer of the school, which position he held until upon the death of Mr. Marshall in 1906 he was elevated to the principalship. Mr. Long says he regards all work that he had done previously as a preparation for his life work at Christiansburg. Much of what the school is today is the result of his own efforts. When he was made principal the school's property was valued at $40,000, including land and buildings and equipment and an endowment of $5,500. Today the buildings and equipment alone are worth $75,000, and the endowment is $68,000. Mr. Long is prominent in educational circles. He is now and has been for six years president of the Virginia State Teachers' association. He is a vice president of the Negro Organization society, of which Major Moton is president, and is treasurer of the National Association of Teachers In Colored Schools.

City Ticket Agent, Norfolk JAN CURRY'S WORK IN GERMAN ARMY PROMOTED TO HIGH OFFICE Timely Comment on Achievements of Colored Men In Various Lines of Employment as Far Back as the Eighteenth Century—Society For Historical Research Secures Rare Book. Although Dr. Bernard Durnberg, one time secretary for the colonies for German Southwest Africa, declared some years ago in a speech in London, "We want no educated proletariat in Africa." It is a fact that thirty years ago, in a work published in Berlin, mention is made of Jan Curry, an unadulterated African, who was raised to the dignity of commandant of the Brandenburg Fort do Grosse, Frederickberg, situated in the Cape of Trees Forcas, on the western coast of Africa, by the German government. He must have been a man of some education to have held, as he did, such an important post. As the officers of the German army who passed through the department of military history of the general staff were promoted, the achievements of this Negro as a military genius formed a part of their curriculum. He was cited as one whose military career was worthy of emulation. One of these German generals has paid a high compliment to Jan Curry as a military strategist. I am indebted to Dr. Kunst of Gutenmühl, a great German scholar and friend of the race, for these facts. Dr. Kunst wrote for the Journal of Negro History for October a most interesting article on another subject relating to the Negro. The late Governor Ruswynnurm of Liberia, some time editor of one of the early Negro newspapers in New York city, while governor applied for and obtained leave of absence to visit the United States to make a report to the Colonization society, of which he was the duly accredited representative in Liberia. The members of the board, sitting in the city of Baltimore, took advantage of his presence in the city (1847) to make his personal acquaintance. They gave him a dinner at the principal hotel in the city, at which there were no absences, and there was not one present, says J. H. B. Latrobe, who was not impressed by the grave, courteous and dignified bearing of the agent whose wise and prudent conduct of the society's affairs in Africa had given such satisfaction. "One with difficulty," says the editor of "Maryland in Liberia" (1885), page 72, "recalls nowadays the sensation that the idea of this dinner to a colored man in 1847 produced in Baltimore. It was indulgent to see the astonishment of the Irish waiters who surrounded the table at Page's hotel when they were called upon to render the same service to a colored man that they were in the habit of rendering to many socially prominent citizens." So we have three instances of record where Negros have dined with distinguished white men—Julius Melbourne as the guest of Thomas Jefferson, at Monticello in the eighteenth century, with many notable men of the period, among them Chief Justice Marshall, Dr. Dexter, etc.; Governor Russwurm at Baltimore and Booker T. Washington at the White House in Washington. How many of the present generation know that in 1810 there existed in the city of Philadelphia an insurance company composed of colored men, with a capital of $5,000 and with an office located at 159 (now 520) Lombard street? Its president was Joseph Randolph, Cyrus Porter treasurer and William Coleman secretary, and its capital was in cash.

There is a great demand by collectors of old books for books by Negro authors. I recently picked up an random a catalogue of a New York city dealer and noted the following: DuBois "Philadelphia Negro"; "Africa and America"; Alex Crumwell; "Running a Thousand Miles For Freemond"; William Craft, and "Personal Experience of Uncle Tom." by Jones. The wonderful thing about these books is that they are more sought after by white people, for some reason, than their own. This is not bad. Still it would not hurt if Negroes were a little bit more interested. The Negro Society For Historical Research has recently acquired a very rare book, "An Account of the Trial of the British Soldiers Who Killed Attacks" on whose death the trial was based, and Gray and Mayerlic, his colleagues, who attacked the main guard of the British soldiers in Boston March 5, 1775; also the true story written by a Negro of the Denmark-Vesey insurrection in South Carolina, with all the inside facts.

The exhibits were numerous and of excellent quality. RECEPTION OF THEORY: FILM/TELEVISION STUDIES AND THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL CLAY STEINMAN According to Tom Bottomore, the **Frankfurt School in its original form, and as a school of Marxism or sociology, is dead’’ (70). For people in film and televi- sion studies in the United States, the Crit- ical Theory of the Frankfurt School hasn’t had much of a chance, even though it offers a valuable way of seeing normally obscured relations of social power in the details of modern capitalist culture. The school’s first generation included Theodor W. Adorno, (for a time) Erich Fromm, Max Horkheimer, Leo Lowenthal, Her- bert Marcuse, and Walter Benjamin, whose work was so different it deserved separate treatment. Although none of their positions were identical, as a group they were resolutely antagonistic to the culture of domination. ! Critical Theory’s approach is not easily summarized, but I might be able to clanfy a few features by comparing it to an alter- native analytic method Patrice Petro re- cently proposed: We may now want to pursue a dif- ferent reading of mass culture, one which begins from the assumption that mass culture is neither intrinsi- cally ‘‘progressive’’ nor ‘‘reac- tionary,’ but highly contradictory and historically variable ‘in its form, its meanings, and its effects (5). Clay Steinman is an associate professor of Com- munication at Florida Atlantic University. His article, “M*A*S*H Mystified,’* co-written with Mike Budd, is forthcoming in Cultural Critique. Copyright © 1988 by C. Steinman AAS ad LOTMUid, Us SceCims reasONaDic enough. For Critical Theory, ‘*mass culture’’? may indeed be ‘“‘highly contra- dictory and historically variable,’ but invariably it is produced by stratified, in- dustrial societies, and, however contradic- torily, it bears their mark. For Critical Theory, most people most of the time encounter culture industry products within a system Marcuse called ‘‘one- dimensional,’’ directing energies along paths carved to the measure of the ruling powers, trickling down benefits to others only under pressure. Readings must in- clude this context, or risk reifying their objects. Surely products don’t dictate their meanings or effects—how could ide- ology be intrinsic in that sense?—but just as surely they function within a social system (which includes people’s re- sponses) determined by force and interest. Petro’s formula might easily mask the difficulties involved in knowing meanings and, even more, effects. Involved are the virtues and limitations of empirical re- search, issues with which Adorno strug- gled when he reviewed his own work among the empiricists in the United States: It is an open question, to be answered only empirically, whether and to what extent the social implications ob- served in the ... analysis of music are understood by the listeners them- selves, and how they react to them. It would be naive to take for granted an identity between the social implica- tions to be discerned in the stimuli and those embodied in the ‘‘re-
