C. M. Long
The spacious auditorium of the Attucks Theatre was packed to standing room last Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A.'s regular monthly meeting. The growing attendance at these meetings attest the popularity of the kind of programs this organization is trying to provide.
Last Sunday afternoon, Rev. Long, of Bank street Baptist church, was to deliver the principal address, but owing to an operator on his throat he was unable to do so. Rev. Henderson, student of Virginia Union University, was substituted.
Prof. J. D. Jacox, principal of the local high school, was master of ceremonies.
Rev. D. F. White made an appeal for an offering to defray the expense of the meeting and help the work of the Y. M. C. A., which he styled the Christian Club House of our community founded for the purpose of helping men. He presented the work of the association in his usual terse and intelligent way, which resulted in a hearty response.
Perhaps no more able substitute could have been found than the Rev. J. R. Henderson, student from Virginia Union University, who responded with an address.
Rev. Henderson took for his subject, "Our Unfinished Task." He be-

Bank to Start Its New
Home Very
Soon
Suffolk, Va.—At the regular meet-
ing of the directors of the Phoenix
Bank of Nanseomal, Mr. Jno. W.
Richardson, the first vice-president,
was chosen as president to fill the
unexpired term of the late Dr. W. T.
Fuller.
Mr. Richardson was one of the principal founders of the institution. He has been instrumental in bringing to the institution many strong and influential friends. A man of modest bearing, but a man true to his race and willing to do anything in his power to lift it to higher standards. The bank, though it feels keenly and deeply the loss of its former president, Dr. W. T. Fuller, is progressing. President and directors are bending every effort to make this the best year of its history. The work on its new building will shortly begin and a splendid home, ample to accommodate this new institution, will soon be completed. Every modern facility for the pleasure and accommodation of its patrons will be provided.
Funeral of Mr.
A. S. Pinner
The funeral of Mr. Anthony S. Pinner, who died Thursday morning, February 24th, after an illness of several months, was held at SO John's A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon, February 27th, at 1:30 o'clock, John M. Brown church, of which he was a member, being too small to accommodate the large number of friends and organizations who desired to pay a tribute of respect to his memory; Rev. A. J. Nottingham officiating. The deceased was a well known and highly respected citizen of Norfolk, a member of John M. Brown A. M. E. church, and for years secretary of the trustee board. As a letter carrier he served with efficiency and fidelity for a period of 29 years. He was a member of Campbell Lodge, 67, A. F. & A. M., Sons of Norfolk, Acme Social and Beneficial Association, and the Aeolian Social and Beneficial Association, all of which attended the funeral in a body. Rev. A. J. Nottingham was ably assisted by conducting the services by Dr. M. E. Davis, Rev. J. H. Billups, Rev. C. M. Long, Rev. J. H. A. Martin and Rev. Edw. Hines. The officers of John M. Brown church served as honorary pall bearers, and the active pall bearers were John Tyler, William Wood, Chas S. Ferebele, W. E. Lawrence, J. E. Foster, H. M. Perkins, Benjamin Barnes and Joseph Saunders. Interment was in Calvary Cemetery.
gan by referring to February in most eloquent terms, as the birth month of three of the most illustrious men that ever lived, namely, George Washington, Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, commenting on the life and pointing out the lesson in the precept of each character. Rev. Henderson spoke at length of our part in the world's war and our hope for the realization in a complete democracy for the Negro. The speaker was frequently interrupted with applause, which was prolonged at the conclusion of his address.
He created quite a favorable impression here, notwithstanding his youthfulness. He is only 21 years old and is a protege of Rev. C. M. Long. The audience responded freely to the suggestion of Mr. C. C. Dogan to give a special donation to help this worthy young man.
The singing by the Holy Angel Quartette and Mme. Claiborne was well received and the audience was uproarous in applause. A special vote of thanks was extended to Dr. J. Bailey, Mr. Archer, Miss Carter and other members of the orchestra for their fine music.
The meeting for Sunday, March 6, will be held in the "Y" lobby at 4:30. Prof. Hill will be the speaker.

B. F. LEE PRESIDES
All Bishops Present
Except the Two
in Africa
Dallas, Texas.—Nothing has attracted more attention in the religious circles than the Bishops' Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which was staged here last week in St. James A. M. E. church, giving to the people an opportunity to see the leaders of the A. M. E. church, and the new St. James church building, which was opened a four days ago and is said to be perhaps the finest church e-office in the State of Texas owned by the race.
When Dr. C. W. Abington announced one year ago that the next session would be held in Dallas, the citizens organized to make it a success, and over $2,500 was placed in his hands with which to entertain the council and help in arranging for the comfort of the bishops. When Bishop M. F. Lee, the senior bishop of his race, called the mid-winter session of the council to order at 10 o'clock last Thursday morning, the following bishops were present: B. F. Lee, C. S. Smith, Levi Coppin, J. S. Slipper, John Hurst, W. D. Chappelle, J. M. Conner, Joshua A. Jones, Albert Johnson, W. H. Heard, W. W. Heckett, II. Blanton Parks, William Decker Johnson, A. J. Carey, W. A. Fountain. Bishop W. Sampson Brooks and W. T. Vernon were absent, Bishop Brooks being in West Africa and Bishop Vernon in South Africa. The need of the meeting was to review the work of the various departments, and to look after the general interest of the church. The departments represented were: Dr. J. W. Rankin, Secretary of Missions; Prof. A. S. Jackson, Commissioner of Education; Prof. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary Sunday School Union; R. R. Wright, Editor Christian Recorder; G. W. Allen, editor Southern Christian Recorder; J. D. Barksdale, editor Western Christian Recorder; S. S. Morris, Secretary Christian Endeavor League, D. M. Baxter, D. R. Wright, M. E. Book Concert; Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary; C. R. Ransom, D. D., editor A. M. F. Church Review.
The June session of the Council will be held in Chicago, while the mid-winter session will go to Avery Chapel, Memphis, Tennessee, next February. Oklahoma was attached to the Fifth Episcopal District, and placed Bishop H. Blandis in Chicago. Bishop H. Blandis, of Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary, attracted much attention. The Dollar Money fund reported to his office for the first fiscal year in the quadrenium would be over $320,000, an increase of $18,000 over the previous fiscal year. This amount did not include any of the money raised for local churches, the various churches, charities, businesses, older, nor does it include the money raised through the regular channel for education in the support of the 16 denominational schools, or for the maintainance of the work, both home and foreign. This is regarded as a splendid tri-

date of the members of the A. M. E. Church. Out of the General Fund 20 per cent is set aside as a Pension Fund for the superannuated ministers, the widows and orphans of deceased ministers. The Connecctional camping for five million dollars and one million members, was one of the features brought before the Council, and was given unanimous endorsement, and pledged support from every bishop and district. All the Commissioners were appointed. The Commission was appointed by the General Conference is composed of the special Zion directors from each of the Episcopal districts, with Financial Secretary, Prof. J. R. Hawkins acting executive secretary. He is pushing the work, and received special mention for the efficient manner in which he has organized it throughout the country. There was also held in connection with the Council the Association of College Presidents and Deans. This organization had sworn death to ignorance, and they are reaching out to produce a higher type of manhood and education for the future. The officers are: Prof. G. A. Kwiatkul, N. C. president; Dr. S. L. Green, North Little Rock, Ark. secretary; Dr. R. G. A. Vaughan, Quinddau, Kansas, treasurer.
A common-sence practical address was delivered by President G. A. Edwards, who declared that the race in the future would have to take its place among the men and women, measured by mind and not by color physique. The father will not ask about your father's mind what they could do, but will demand to know who you are and whether or not you can measure up to the standard of a man." The main address was delivered by Prof. A. S. Jackson, of Waco, Texas, commissioner of education, having charge of the entire educational work for the A. M. S. Church. His address and meant much to all who heard him.
At the opening of the Council Thursday morning, Bishop W. D. Chappelle, of South Carolina, prescheduled the sermon, and at the meeting held in the Park Auditorium at night the addresses of welcome were delivered by Mayor W. F. Wozenerfruit, Dr. Chas. Selectman, W. M. M. B. Young, J. M. Johnson, A. G. Winn, E. J. Howard, S. J. Johnson, R. S. Jenkins, J. R. Stokes, R. T. Hamilton, M. D., and N. W. Harlee. Bishop Fountain responded for the bishops.
LENTEN SERVICES GROWING IN INTEREST
LENTEN SERVICES GROWING IN INTEREST
Rev. R. H. Bowling Will Speak Each Day Next Week. Revs. White, Davis, and Bishop Thompson Delivered Interesting Discourses
The week-day Lenten services which are being held at the Attucks each day at 12 o'clock noon are becoming more and more interesting and inspiring as the daily messages are pounded by the speakers on the program. A splendid audience has greeted the speakers each day and the worshippers enter the service with warm spiritual zeal. Revs. D. F. White, M. E. Davis and Bishop Thompson were the speakers this week. Next week Rev. R. H. Bowling, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Rute St., will hold the platform for the entire week. Rev. Bowling is noted for his unique and practical manner in exposing the gospel and one who bears a message desired from his lips is invariably desired. It is expected that the largest attendance yet recorded at the meetings will be in evidence next week, especially because of the popularity of the speaker. The song and prayer service before and after the sermon is one of the best features of the meetings.
ENLARGEMENT OF HOSPITAL BADLY NEEDED HERE
Shall we continue to accept beds in basements on cement floors for our hospital sick and wounded, or shall we come together and enlarge the building and facilities of the Tidewater Hospital, where we may have warm, comfortable wards and private rooms for our sick? If we desire better accommodations in hospitals why not provide it ourselves? We have the intelligence, ability and means, why not use them?
The Tidewater Hospital has had six years of most successful service, and its greatest need is more room to accommodate that class of our people who wish for hospital comfort when in need of hospital services.
See the picture of our new building and help to make it a reality. Give what you can, they are the penniles that make dollars.
Tidewater Hospital has cared for 1354 patients during the past three years and has turned away as many if not more, because of lack of room to accommodate them.
See our solicitors and give them a donation or send your check to the building committee, made payable to the Board of Trustees, Tidewater Hospital, 42nd street and Parker avenue, Norfolk, Va.
The solicitors will give you a receipt bearing the corporate seal of the Tidewater Colored Hospital Association. No receipt is valid unless it bears our seal.

N. A. A. C.P. Campaign Gets Under Way Through- Out The Entire Country
New York City—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced the opening of its drive for a quarter of a million members, the greatest massing of colored people and their white friends against discrimination ever seen in the United States.
The heads of the Association and the executive officers are distributed among the various States and sections and the drive is beginning simultaneously everywhere with local mass meetings.
In the South, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine, and William Pickens, former dean of Morgan College and how field secretary of the Association, are getting the drive under way.
In the Middle West, James Weldon Johnson, the national secretary, and Walter F. White assistant secretary, together with Mrs. A. W. Hunton, are
Negro Week at A. & T. College Provides Many Thrills
Reverence for Race's Heroes is Aim of School
Greensboro, N.C.—March 4.—The night of February 18th, ended what was known at the A. & T. College as Negro week. Three consecutive nights were devoted of the achievements of the Negro, both living and dead. Six ambition energetic students of the Trade School searched every shelf in the college library and on Wednesday night, February 16th, during a decommissionary contest, they reproduced some of the immortal master-pieces of the Negro, with such precision, force and enthusiasm, that the many spellbound hearers were inclined to call them aliens of the real originators. All order contrast the gray matter of the Negroes of the past with that of the young Negro of the present, the students of the College Department were requested by the faculty to write orations. Eight enthusiastic students responded, representing the Senior, Junior, and Freshman Classes. These students appeared on Thursday night February 17th, in an oratorical contest. L. Harper, a Freshman, won the prize. L. Harper, the subjects of his oration was, "The Second Emancipation" His victory was not very easy, however, for he was closely pursued by Mr. S. Robinson, a Senior, whose oration on "Our Immortal Dead" was so eloquent that the judges, after careful deliberation and meditation, found only a slight margin separating them. Mr. D. L. Terrell, a junior, speaking on Fred Denchass, from a Shave to a Presidential Factor, and Mr. J. S. Melver, a Senior, speaking on "The Negro has Paid His Share of the Price of Democracy," made quite an impression.
The whole affair was a great success.

Miss Hazel Harrison Plays at Hampton
Hampton, Va.—Hazel Harrison, the well-known pianist of Chicago, who has received the warm praise of American and foreign music critics for her technical skill and her sympathetic musicianship, played recently before a large and appreciative audience in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute.
Miss Harrison's playing was fully up to the expectation of her audience. Her numbers showed clearly her grasp of the meaning of the masters in piano composition.
Miss Harrison's promise of her earlier years, when she was hailed as a musical prodigy, did not fail of fulfillment in her Hampton Institute program. She played with excellent technical facility and, as Herman Devries, music editor of the Chicago Evening American, had already said of her, "It is her heart that plays. Her fingers are but the obedient medium."

In the Fur West, Mary White Ovington, chairman of the board of directors, is on lecture tour and will devote her efforts especially to the work in California. The executive work in the national office in New York is in charge of the Rev. Robert W. Bagnall, formerly of Detroit, who has become director of branches of the Association. The local drives are in charge of colonels, who appoint their majors, captains and lieutenants where the population is large enough to warrant. In branches of over a thousand members there is to be an additional major for each additional thousand members, and the majors appoint their subordinate officers. Roughly the captains are responsible for 100 members and the lieutenants for 10 members.
N. C. Jury Returns
Verdict Against Mrs.
Florence Varner
Alleges She is Guilty of Improper Conduct
Greensboro, N. C.—The Federal Court jury, trying the case of Mrs. Florence C. Varner, who sued her husband, Colonel Henry B. Varner, of Lexington, for support, returned a verdict for the defendant after two days' deliberation.
One of the issues required the jury to find whether she was guilty or innocent in improper relations with Baxter McRury, prominent race man of this town. The verdict came after the jury had deliberated for forty-two hours and had cast seven ballots.
The jury denied Mr. Varner a divorce. In as much as it did this, the whole situation seems to be that Mr. McRury has bene double-crossed. By accusing Mrs. Varner of improper conduct makes Varner's case against him seem stronger.
Mrs. Varner is wondering why if she was guilty, did they not grant Varner a divorce? Southern justice is a hard thing to understand when a white woman and a race man are concerned.
ORGANIZE TO HELP THE POOR
Petersburg, Va.—At a recent mass meeting held in the auditorium of the Peabody High School building, presided over by Mrs. Lizzie Talbis Forbes, there was organized "A United Relief Association," for the purpose of helping the poor and needy in this city. Notwithstanding the inclement weather there was a large number present. Seated on the rostrum were many of the local pastors, prominent physicians and a number of white friends.
City Manager, Mr. Louis Brownlow, was to have made one of the principal addresses, but was reported to have been very much indisposed. Addresses were made by Major James Otey Walker, Public Safety Commissioner, some of the pastors and the physician. Miss E. M. Sainsbury, (white), gave a plan of the work of such an organization, some very helpful suggestions, and experiences of her work in the Kings Daughters. At this point the following officers were elected: Mrs. Clementine Poole Brown, president; Mrs. Fannie Woodly Davis, vice-president; Miss Senora E. Robinson, secretary, and Mr. Alexander Forbes, treasurer.
This organization hopes to do much relief work for the poor and needy of this city, in its infancy, it has done much to help those who were losers in the great fire of February 20th, in this city. Plans are being perfected for a big meeting and a financial drive, March 11th, at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Young Women's Christian Association. The work of such an organization has been a long-felt need in Petersburg, and despite at this great reconstruction period. All of the colored people of this city are expected to be members of this organization, and since the colored people are about fifty per cent of the population, we hope soon to have a very large organization.
REAR ADMIRAL BURRAGE SPEAKS AT TRUXTUN
Rear Admiral Burrage, Commandant of the Norfolk Navy Yard, delivered an address to the Truxtun Community Government on Tuesday evening, March 1st. The subject was, "Co-operation and Efficiency," which was heartily received by the large number present.
WAS ON HIS WAY HOME FROM B. Y. P. U. SERVICE
Little Carlton Weeks, 9 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Weeks, 956 Goff street, was run over by a street car last Sunday night between Highland avenue and Queen street, and died a short time afterwards at the St. Vincent Hospital.
Master Carlton Weeks was returning home from B. Y. P. U. service at the First Baptist church, and while attempting to cross over from one side of the street to the other found himself directly in front of an oncoming automobile. In an attempt to get out of its way he failed to see the street car which at this time was right on him and before he could reach safety the car struck him and knocked him down and ran over him, cutting off both legs above the knee.
He was rushed immediately to St. Vincent Hospital, where he died later. His mother, Mrs. Pearl Saterfield
Lilly-Whiteism Must Not Gain the Upper Hold
Will Not Leave U. S.
But Will Push
His Fight
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. C. March 1—Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman from Georgia, and director of the work among our voters during the national campaign, is alarmed at the trend of Republican politics, and calls upon the entire race to rise and vigorously protest against any schemes or plans to make the Republican party "Lily White."
In an exclusive interview for the Association Negro Press, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, North Port, forth the facts as he finds them from Hodge observation here in Washington. He says, "I am confident that our race, if duly informed of its imminent peril and given proper assurances, will unite as one for racial defense here at the seat of government."
The special meeting of the Republican National Committee in Washington, March 3rd, takes up the reorganization of the party in the South. There is an outspoken "Lily White" movement, and with it H. Hodge as chairman of the Republican National Committee, appointed a committee, with congressman Basem Shomp, of Virginia, a known "Lily White", as chairman of the committee.
Asked about this meeting, Col. Johnson said: "I am preparing for the occasion for from every indication there seems to be a strong tendency in certain quarters to try and make this a white man's country and to transform the Grand Old Party into a white man's party."
"But with my shield, buckler and sword I shall be there, ready for a battle royal and thrice armed because our cause is just."
Continuing, Col. Johnson said: "The issue of Lily Whiteism which is now being brought so prominently to the front, should incur the vitriolic and persistent protest of every Negro pen and voice in America, especially at this time, and from now on until this fierce germ is completely eradicated forged from our party. "I am an optimist by nature. I must confess the fact that we are grave dangers threatening our status as citizens and we must be keenly alert and active in order to win this—the battle of our lives." Col. Johnson here asked the Associated Negro Press to invite the newspapers of the country to take the lead in this great struggle for human rights. He said: "I hope you will make a special effort to have every Negro newspaper in America to immediately sound the toesin of alarm, and let the Negro press of this country rise up in one strong, united protest against this damnable democratic doctrine of lily-whiteism, whose subtle design is to eventually eliminate the Negro from American politics, and to leave us helpless and defenseless politically and otherwise. The defended democracy is trying desperately turn defeat into victory by poisoning the arteries of the publican party with the damnable nostrums and doctrines being vigorously advertised by lily-whiteism and the Ku Klux Klan, but they must not succeed in their nefarious purpose. To your tents, O Israel."
"Since you have such great faith in the ability of our newspapers to lead this matter, how would you suggest for us to order, to be most effective, Colonel?"
This is his answer: "It would help me materially in my fight before the Republican National Committee if the editors send copies of their newsa (Continued on page 8)

Weeks, was in church when the sad news reached her that her boy had been killed.
Little Carlton was the second oldest of five boys and was a student at the John T. West school. He had just been promoted and had secured his books. He was a favorite among his playmates and was a very obedient child. His mother was grief-stricken at the news.
His body was removed from the hospital to the undertaking establishment of Baker and King on Chapel street, to be prepared for burial.
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m., Tuesday afternoon at the First Baptist church. He was a member of the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday school of this church. Many of his little playmates attended the funeral and paid their last respect to their comrad. Many beautiful floral offerings were sent.
FARMERS FIND MANY HELPFUL SUGCESTIONS
At Conference Held Last Week At Bricks
MANY ATTENDED
N
The Joseph K. Bricks School Dedicates New Building
Bricks, N. C.—The North Carolina Negro Farmers' Congress, which has just closed at the Joseph K. Bricks School, Bricks, N. C., was one of the greatest meetings in the history of the organization, not only in education, dance, but in actual service rendered farmer. There were about 1,000 people on the grounds the first day, and at least the second day. The program was intended interesting from the beginning to the end. The theme of the entire program "Food and Feeds." This subject was discussed from many angles, and the truth of it as concerns the farmer was clearly revealed in a most convincing way.
A discussion of the Negro farmer as a result of his failure was clearly brought out by Mr. L. E. district agent, in his discussion of "The Present Condition of the Negro Farmer." "Feed for the Soil," by Prof. C. R. Hudson, State Agent, in which he showed how to make possible an adequate supply of food and feed by increased soil fertility, went home to farmers in a very impressive way. "Farmers-Stock," by Prof. Kinney, of the State Department, was most strikingly effective, as it pointed out the erroneous methods of feeding and the failure to grow the needed supply of the proper kind of food. The address by Dr. Atkins, of Winston-Salem, on the "Social and Economic Life on the Farm," was a master piece. While the "Farmers' Food and Feed Budget" by the writer opened the eyes of the farmer when his experience taught him the elaborate exhibit showing what should grow on the farm and what they should buy on a table about the size of a man's hat.
The second address by Prof. Kimrey, on milk and its products, also made an impression on the farmers. While the second address by Prof. Hudson on the selection of seed corn and equally as striking effect. The annual address of the president, Prof. T. S. Imborden, in which he pointed out the old and new methods of farming, the obsolete and modern machinery in a way that was both amusing, interesting and instructive.
Immediately following a barbecue dinner, the Brick School held the dedicatory exercises of the new dining hall, at which Dr. Geo. Luther Cady D. D., of New York, Sect. of 50 or more A. M. A. Schools in the South, delivered an eloquent address. Brief addresses were given by Prin, Inborden, of the Bricks School, and also Dr. Flynn and Dr. Lawless, field agents and superintendents for the A. M. A. Schools.

Arrows of Songs
We wish to introduce to the public
generally, and the readers of the
Journal & Guide, especially, The Ar-
row Music Publishing Co., Inc,, 2305
‘th Ave., New York City.
While the name is suggestive of
the business, it does not do justice
to its excellence of work, nor to its
desire to suggest the Arrow style of
music to people everywhere. In fact no
phrase could do this. It is vitally nee-
essary to hecome intimately acquain.
ted with its operation and spirit. In
order that this may be accomplished
quickly, we give you three reasons
why vou should be acquainted, with
first Mr, W. Astor Morgan, its mana-
ger and chief composer.
Because Mr. Morgan, is a young
talented ma nof the race, possessing
the ability to interpret music where.
ever heard. Men, birds, bees, and
flowers all sing to and for him. This
is why, it is true of Arrow songs, as
with ho others, there are always ‘the
shadows and sunshine of life sa sweet
ly blended that the Arrow spirit quick
ly reaches the heart and lingers.
Mr. Morgan, comes from North Car
lina, and brings with him as creden-
tial of his efforts there, the degree
of B. S. from one of her leading Uni
versities, Biddle, located in Charlotte
N. C. Having taken a coures at the
Institute of Musicial Art, New York
City, Mr. Morgan understands his bus
ness.
Second with the Arrow songs that
have already been published because
the haunting melody of “Love is like
A Bubble” should be heard by every
one. The tunefulness of “Dreamy Ey-
ed Baby Doll” is irresistable. Once
heard the strain of "My morning Glo-
ty Girl” is never forgotten. The Ori-
ent of music is brought west in these
twin songs of mystery and charm
“Desert. Moon” and “Qujji”. And be-
cause the last. phase of syncopation
has been anntized and bewitchingly
employed in this characteristic num-
bere “My Cup" and Dying with the
Blues."
‘Third with the aim of this musical
corporation beeause wherever any
style or kind of music is necessary, it
is the nim of this company to supply
vhat need, Orchestration “and music
‘rolls of these sonys are obtainable at
local dealers, or at the company’s
‘home office. Records for Vietrolas are
‘being made. It invites your support
‘and guarantees — satisfaction. Hear

NOW, LET US HOPE FOR BETTER
THINGS UNDER THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION
---
We all wish that President Harding may have a long and prosperous Administration of the affairs of the Nation. He has a great big job, and we should all do what we can to help him out with it. We shall do this at every move when his recommendations and acts are in the interest of the whole people, but when they are otherwise, and we hope they may not be, we shall use our reserved right of protest.
We hope that we shall soon sign the Peace Treaty and so be at peace with all "the world and the rest of mankind," as President Jackson once phrased it, and that our position with regard to the League of Nations covenant may be defined; we hope that the war debt may be speedily refunded so that the future may hear its proper proportion of it, and that the ten billion dollars the Allies owe us may be determined as to payment and interest; and we hope that our tax burdens may be so adjusted as to make adequate revenue while bearing least heavily upon all alike; and we hope that the troubles between labor and capital may be so ordered that some justice shall be obtained as between them, and that the consumers of the land may not be mercilessly crucified between the two, as has been the case in the past and is the case now.
We repeat: Now let us hope for better things under the Republican Administration than we got under the Democratic Administration. Thut, we believe, is a reasonable hope.
Yap? Yes. What is Yap, and where is Yap? Why, Yap is a small speck of land somewhere in the Pacific ocean and it would be hard to locate it on the average map. It is not of much consequence, standing by itself, but there are but few bits of earth anywhere now that stand by themselves and are not dependent upon some overlord, who claims them as his own whether he wants to make use of them or not. It all depends. Yap belonged to Germany. By a recent action of the Allied Premiers, in which the United States had no representative, Yap was made one of the mandatories of Japan. The United States has now protested against making Yap a Jap mandate.
The trouble seems to be that Yap is one of the radio stations connecting the world with Far Asia, and that the United States does not look kindly upon mandate that will give Japan the power to determine who should and who should not enjoy the privilege of reaching Asia by radio and other communication by way of Yap. As a matter of fact, it is only one of the many little things that put together make a big thing as a difference in interests and contention, leading towards strife between the two Nations, that it were better if the two countries would compose in the mutual interests, and would if both Nations had not got a chip on its shoulder over the question of race, color, and that sort of thing
Yap may develop into a great big yawp before control of it has been definitely determined. The Japs have been awarded the mandate of Yap. They are likely to stand up for what has been awarded them. So there you are, American protest to the contrary notwithstanding.
OUR LABOR AND THE TRADES UNIONS
The bread and butter problem is the predominant one with the masses of mankind today as it was two thousand years ago, and perhaps, it will be at the end of the next two thousand years. This is much to be regretted, as the only question involved is an equitable division of the earth's necessary things, or the equivalent values, as between the agencies of production and consumption.
For example: A man may have to sleep out of dours in Norfolk, who has a thousand dollar bill, if he can find
no one to change it for him, and this would be the case if he should try to get it changed after banking hours. That is to say, the big bill would be useless to him if he could not get it changed into small bills. It is that way with 9,000,000 bales of last year's cotton for which the owners can find no buyers. It is useless and foolish, therefore, to produce a lot of things if there is no market for them, as is the present condition of the United States and its export trade: it has plenty of goods to sell, but the Europenn consumers have no money and no credit with which to buy them. There are many agencies between the producer and consumer, but all of them depend upon the two, and the two are of no value unless they are in harmony as to the price of production and consumption.
The labor problem is one of the most important and difficult that confronts the Afro-American people; it is more so with them than with the white labor group, as these latter are opposed, for the most part, to the colored labor group working on equality with them in the gainful occupations, and in some they do not desire that our group shall work in them at all. The railroad labor unions are of this inhuman sort, a recent movement having been made by the white group on the Norfolk and Western Railroad to dispense with colored workers on that railroad entirely; and it should not be forgotten that a so-called Northern blatherskite, residing for the time in the South, started that business.
In a paper read before the "Readjustment and Reconstruction Congress," held at Howard University November 13th, a copy of the proceedings of which we have just received. Mr. Engene Kinckle Jones, a Virginian of light and leading, and who has gained distinction as Executive Secretary of the National Urban League speaking on the labor feature of the problem, among other things, said:
"The nationals and internationals in labor circles have now voted that there shall be no discrimination against Negroes. While they forbid it, we cannot overlook the fact that the locals after all determine who shall actually enter the organization as bona fide members with the chance to work at the trade.
"The attitude of the Negro working-men themselves towards the problem involved is important. The war has opened many new opportunities to Negro working-men. Before the war, anyone who stated that the majority of Negro working-men were ambitious, and were forging ahead with enthusiasm, would have had difficulty in proving his assertion. The war period has proved beyond question that the majority of Negro working-men today are ambitions and are casting aside obstacles and are forging ahead although still working under great difficulties. They are graining friends not only among the employers of labor, but among many of their white fellow workers. In fact, many Negroes are either joining unions of white men, or are forming organizations or unions among themselves through which they hope to barter for better opportunities both with the employers of labor and with white labor organizations as well."
That is to say, Afro-American labor has awakened to the fact that it is a vital force in American industrialism, that it has value for others and should have greater value for itself, and that, in order to protect itself, it must have such organization, and such affiliation with organization, as to make the most and not the least out its labor valuation. That is a very important forward step, to which there should be, and we believe will not be, any backward step. His labor is the most important value that the average Afro-American possesses, and he can only get the most out of if there is in it by understanding the various phases of the labor problem and by thorough organization to promote and to protect his interests as a laborer.
THE SECRET OF THE JEW'S
SUCCESS IN BUSINESS
The Jews of the world have been aroused by the statement made in the booklet, republished from the Dearborn Independent, Henry Ford's newspaper, The International Jew, that the "Jew is the world's enigma," and that as such he controls the business, financial and publicity agencies of the world, and thus has the world at his mercy, and gambles with it for his benefit, and that, while he is not afraid of hard work he does not care for it except as a preparation for a business career of some sort, however humble, so it is business and is his business.
There are only some 14,000,000 Jews
in all of the world, and only about 3,000,000 in the United States. In his own Palestine there are only some 100,000. It is not by numbers but by subility, by getting hold of the agencies that make most for power, that the Jews control the affairs of the world, if the admission be made that they so rule them. Prominent Jews vehemently disclaim that they do so rule it, but there is a large grain of truth in the view of the matter that he comes near doing it, but that it does not serve his purposes to acknowledge the fact and make the most of it. Being discredited and distributed in all countries, Christian as well as non-Christian, it is to the best interests of the Jew that he accomplish his purposes with as little show of personality in his designs as possible. It was by such subtle ways that Christopher Columbus had to go about getting the permit and the means to undertake the voyage in which he discovered America, and in which it has been shown the Jews became the first European settlers in the America.
Afro-Americans everywhere are bound to think well of the Jews. They are a sympathetic and helpful people the one towards the other, whatever community they are found together in. The only requirement is that the Afro-American has something that the Jew can buy, or money with which to buy something that the Jew has. Europe has been warring against the Jews for two thousand years in the effort to prevent them from controlling the business and finances of the given time and place, but it has failed to even hamper them in their conquest of the real things that make for power.
We do not believe there will ever be any war on the Jewish people in the United States such as has been true in Europe, but there will be a growing consciousness that the Jews control more of the industrial, financial and publicity agencies of the country than their numbers warrant, but no remedy will be found for it here as there has none been found for it in Europe.
It is for Afro-Americans to learn of the Jews so much of their methods and conduct in their intercourse with their fellow-citizens as makes for respect and power. Business is the word to conquer by. Get something the other fellow wants, as Dr. Washington used to express it.
JUDGE TERRELL ON
"THE TORCH"
Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, who is a popular platform favorite with Norfolk folks, is not only one of the most devoted loyalists the Afro-Americans have today, but one of the most well-balanced. He seldom goes off at half-cocked on vital questions affecting the interests of the race. In these days of radicals who think that the crazier their claims and the louder and more vulgar their demands that their claims be allowed, the safer, and wiser they are as leaders of a race that is still struggling to get a footing as free men and citizens, being almost at the bottom of the
ladder of opportunity, the same speaker to the head and heart is a marked person. The white groups have a like lot of radicals, and they are upsetting the morals of the Nation and creating conditions of antagonism and strife that are bound to come to disagreeable fruiteug in due season.
Judge Terrell also has the rare gift of saying truths in such a way that they stick to the understanding. That is one of the peculiar gifts of wise men. In his recent address here Judge Terrell said among other things: "The Negro is now holding the torch of racial achievements high, which is acting as a beacon light to the world." That is the high note of optimism that the race needs in the splendid efforts it is making in the thought and conduct of affairs here in the United States, where it is building a lasting industrial and thrift foundation and a church and scholastic record and a home-making in Christian morals that are bound to give it a pre-eminent place in the life of the Nation a half century hence. That is plain enough to such as are able to read the truth as to the patient dogged work of the race in the essentials we have mentioned, and that make for most in the life of a race or a nation.
We are developing men and women of vision who see out of the darkness of the present the light that illuminates the future.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
ON THE ROCKS
The Democratic party has not recovered from the stunning knockout it
NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
about got in the November elections, and
In there are signs that it will have lots
some of trouble in doing so. It is strictly
out by the rocks. Talk of reorganizing
the party began soon after the elec-
tion, and preparations, it was sup-
posed, were being made to that end.
that it certainly needs reorganization, with
Jews a new platform and a new leadership,
do so if that were possible.
The Wilson-MeAdoo faction has asked for a meeting of the Democratic Committee, admittedly to get rid of Chairman White and the Cox influence, and the demand for the meeting has started the liveliest sort of scrap inside the party. The Cox-White faction does not intend to get out unless it is forced out; it is equally apparent that the Wilson-MeAdoo faction intends to recover control of the party which it lost at the San Francisco convention.
On the heels of all of this Mr. William Jennings Bryan, the Old Man of the Platte on the Back of the Badsin Democratic Party, announces that he and his brother will undertake to reorganize the Democratic party, relying on the Democratic rank and file rather than the Democratic leaders for his support. He is likely to give the Democratic leaders, who have set aside his premiership, more trouble than they can give him. Anyway it is looked at we can see nothing for the Democratic party in its reorganization plans but plenty of trouble.
On the other hand, there is far from being harmony in the Republican party. The factions came together in the late election, but they are pulling apart now, and are likely to do more of it after the inauguration of President Harding, and the announcement of his policies, foreign and domestic, and the distribution of some 200,000 Federal positions which the Democrats are slated to surrender to the victors.
Let the political caldron sizzle. Stagnation in politics is so much death in stagnation. It is that way with everything.
NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS
(Journal & Guide Bureau) Washington, D.C., March 3—Washington was what it usually is on the eve of a Republican presidential inauguration. There is considerable political activity, and office seekers are lined up on every corner, so to speak. Colored men and women are more interested this time than ever before, and the question being asked now that Mr. Harding has made a tentative cabinet is "what think these men of things as they affect the Negro." The National Women's Party closed its doors, feeling that it had accomplished the purpose for which it was started. The office fixtures and paraphernalia were placed on sale at public auction and crowds of curio and historic reliie seekers gathered to purchase whatever could be as souvenirs. Politically speaking, colored women and men are not going to be satisfied with just one or two choice positions, but they are insisting that conditions generally for them along all lines, especially in the various departments of the Government be bettered. With reference to this a headquarters for Racial Legislative Relief has been opened here by Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson and Perry M. Howard. Other matters to be legislated for are lynching, mob violence, disfranchise and the Ku Klux Klan.
A bill providing a delegate in Congress for the District of Columbia was introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative Stuart F. Reed, of West Virginia, who is a member of the House Committee on the District of Columbia. This bill is identical with the bill introduced at the beginning of the Sixty-fifth Congress by Senator Miles Poindexter, of Washington, on which a favorable report was made by the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia.
Clara Johnson, the victim of the race riots, will doubtless receive quite a good sum of money (about $500), with which to prosecute her claim for release from the charge of causing the death of Precinct Detective Wilson. An organization composed of young women, mostly teachers in the colored public schools, termed the Polynayans, held a fashion show in one of the largest auditoriums here, at which young society women displayed the latest creations in gowns and millinery. It is significant to note that many of the gowns were designed by colored women, while most of the hats were also made by milliners of color. The prominent hairdressers and beauty specialists had active parts also. The corporation owning the auditorium donated its use free, and a record breaking crowd turned out. Clara Johnson, however, is already on bail, the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist church, having become surety for her.
One hundred and thirty-eight deaths were registered in the District of Columbia during the week ending February 19th, of which 88 were white and 60 colored. The white deaths indicate an annual death rate of 14, and the colored 23.6. The general rate was 16.4 per 1,000 population. There were 146 white children born and 55 colored, or a total of 201.
To President Harding ORDAINED
Thou are the First American, Ordained to lead US forth and on; Not into paths by cowards famed; Not into depths of nether shame; But, shift unto such Reach we pray Where Freedom has her Stay. —Midst the pure peaks of Right.
Ply thine way afar— With YAHWEF's help, in manful trial, Lead his Folk to fairer clime; Drive, carest for the Task subline— With our strength move on; And One Fek, their trials won, Neath One Flag, shall reign at Peace. Lead on, thou art the nation's man.

In a recent sermon before an audience of about 1,500 persons, the Rev. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, in answering the question "Does the United States Apply the Golden Rule," said that the time is ripe for colored men and women everywhere to be fully alive to all issues affecting them. He said that white America had failed so far to pay attention to the teachings of the church as to how to deal justly with people. "The world needs reconstruction," said the Rev. Norman, "and to accomplish that object we must work in harmony with other nations. We must think more of the broader needs of all mankind than of our own selfish greed. The United States government must recall the Golden Rule and apply it to colored people in daily life, and we individually and as a church must do likewise."
. . .
Writing in the World's Work for January, 1921, Truman H. Talley has this to say: "The parent body, the original Garvey enterprise, is the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This body is concerned with the promotion of solidarity among the adherent to the empire-building organization. It is, in effect, the political complement of the two previously described commercial organizations. Allied with it is the African Communities of the world which is undertaking to develop those portions of Africa now held by the blacks as well as later to take a hand in those areas which they may regain. With this larger and more distinct field, this joint organization points to the convention just held and the organization perfected throughout the Negro world as its chief accomplishment to date. Eventually and in conjunction with the Black Star Line its leaders declare it must grapple with the problems of building African railroads, docks, warehouses, factories, educational institutions, churches, homes, and all the rest of the construction that goes with such an enterprise. Also, it must find, transport, and regulate the supply of skilled American and West Indian Negro labor with which portions of the black continent is to be modernized. A rather large order, it must be admitted, but in the words of Garvey, who is not infrequently more practical than visionary. "It may take fifty years and it may take many fifties, but it will come."
The number of deaths by violence continues to increase with alarming aspects. Another colored man met death during the week as the result of an argument growing out of a whiskey deal. One man became crazed and shot three persons, two white and one colored. The habit of gun toting has become too prevalent, declared Police Judge McKahon, when he sentenced a prisoner to a year.
Edward A. Savoy, who has been fifty years a messenger in the Department of State, has been promoted from $1200 to $1400.

Howard University Students Organize N.A.A.C.P.Branch
Is One of First Race Schools to Take Such Action
Washington, D.C.-Being in accord with the wishes of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and desiring to go on record as denouncing race prejudices, discrimination, and the many concomitant evils, the students of Howard University organized a College Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This is perhaps one of the most significant organizations ever perfected by a Howard University student body. Howard University moulds today a little class than two-thirds of all the Class of 1821 born college students in America, 1821 being the most registered. These students are to wield potent influence in the leadership of the race for the next generation. As they are trained to fight the causes of the race in America, so the race will find in America greater peace and prosperity.
Mr. Oscar C. Brown, one of the Howard students, took the initiative and was elected president of the Howe- College Branch of the N. A. A. C. P.

About Now's the Time
(A spring lay by J. M. Harrison) About now's the time, good neighbor when
You'll hear the cackling of the hen
And find a fresh egg, now and then.
About this time your heart will leap
When in the nests you'll slyly peep—
Forgetting cost of winter's keep.
About this time you'll brag of her
Who joined the strike last September,
While paying the price of ninety per.
About this time you've long forgot
That off you've called yours if a sot—
And ached to sell the whole d—lot!
About now's the time you borrow hay
And role of farmer you will essay,
And ask each night, "Did our hens
lay?" Oh, fickle man, the world is dross,
Forget what you think you have lost—
Her cackle now is worth her cost.

SECOND CALVARY BAPT. CH.
Our pastor returned last Friday from Philadelphia, Pa. having spent a week with Dr. Graham and his people. He reported a pleasant stay. Not withstanding the great snow storm that swept the city last Sunday, the people of Philadelphia turned out to the house of the Lord regardless of the weather. A great lesson to those who stay away to get weather to suit their whim. On Sunday morning the clouds hung heavy and it seemed as though we were going to have another day for the church goers, but the clouds cleared away in the afternoon and a large crowd greeted the pastor. The faithful few assembled in the early morning prayer meeting and had a glorious meeting. At 9:30 the Supt. Bro. G. C. Madison opened the Sunday school with a large number present. The Sunday school continues to increase in finance membership. Our collection increased last Sunday, but not up to the standard. $370. 90.
At 3 p. m. Rev. Brown of the Bethlehem Baptist church, Norfolk preach ed a splendid sermon from the tenth chapter of John, and twenty-seventh verse. Rev. Brown is a great preacher, who has recently come to our city, he succeeded the late Dr. Jeffries of the Bethlehem Bapt. Church who died some while ago. Rev. Brown's choir rendered excellent music for the occasion. Quite a number of his officiates and members came with him. Dr. Brown came from the Invitation of the Queen Esther of which Mrs. Rosena Gray is president. At 5 p. m. the B. Y. P. U. as usual had a large attendance. A very interesting lesson was taught from Rom. 10. The Junior B. Y. P. U.'s had charge of the program and rendered a very good program.
At 7 p. m. the prayer service was led by our faithful brother Frank Burden. At 7:30 the pastor preached, "Weary Toilers." Luke 5: 5. This was indeed a very encouraging sermon the Christians that in all difficulties if the Jesus word, word, we will be vicarious. After this splendid sermon one came forward to be prayed for and one to unite with the Church. Every person that came to the Church throughout the day was greatly benefited for having come.
At 11:30 the pastor preached to a large crowd of anxious people ready to receive the message that he had prepared for them. He preached an excellent sermon from the subject, "In writing a Daily letter." He said, "In writing a Daily letter, we are needed-paper print and paper-write." The Corinthian converts were the paper; Paul wrote; while Christ was the author. Such was the letter that Paul had to introduce him into the world. He said that the Christian is no personal letter as we receive the author sends some times but a letter that every person receives, that contains no matter that is deemed, that gifts the Christian up in the minds of readers and causes them to have a mind to be like the letter he is reading.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
"How Readest Thou?" with references to text in Luke 19; 26 was the subject of a rich practical sermon by the pastor last Sunday morning Rev. Bowling scored his audience against indifference in business and religion; and urged them to do their utmost in producing more for Christ and humanity. The Sunday School and R. Y. P. U. were well attended. At the evening service the No-Nothing Club holds its 15th Anniversary exercises. This Society was organized among the women of the Church by the Sister Caroline Jacobs and is now flattering her toward the leadership of Sister Lizzie K. Hahn. The program was beautifully presented and well received. Rev. Bowling delivered a short masterly sermon from the subject "God's cure for Religious Restlessness" (text 1 Cor. 7: 24. There were 2 accessions during the day. Everybody welcome to our Services. Bring a friend this Sunday.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
VICTORY
By Theodore H. Banks, Jr.
Not like the beast, O God, not like the beast!
Let me not fling away the conscience gleams
Lightning the dark, my spirit-stirring dreams
And star-fixed vision for a gross flesh-feast.
I stand at the finished gateway of the East;
Round me the light of youth's fresh morning streams;
The richest gifts of life are mine, it seems,
And with the best I would not change for least.
Earth claims her sensuous due of life and death;
I shall outstrip the sun, outsoar the skies.
And when th estars are dead, I shall endure.

TRINITY NOTES
Last Sunday, the Sunday school under the management of Mr. W. E. Vaughan and Mrs. O. D. Miller, was at its best, notwithstanding the downpout of rain.
Dr. L. G. L. Berry, presiding elder, preached a great sermon at 11 o'clock. Trinity choir sang to the great delight of all present.
At 3 p.m., Dr. W. J. Hynes, pastor St. Thomas, M. E. Zion church, preached a most profound Gospel sermon. His choir captured the audience with their melodious music. The Children of Israel of Berkley filled the house at the night service, and ate the Passover. Rev. W. W. Howard preached the sermon.

On Tuesday night, March 1st, the last quarterly conference was held. The reports were good.
Rev. Honderson, of the Virginia Union University, filled all engagements for the pastor last Sunday, as was announced in this space last week.
At the morning service, Rev. Henderson preached from Job 23:3.4—"Oh, that I knew where I might find Him: That I might come ever to his seat: I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments." The sermon was well prepared and well delivered. The apparent sincerity of the preacher gave his words a spirit which made them impressive to his hearers. The words of Job: "Oh, that I knew where I might find Him," have been the cry of all peoples since the earliest of our human records. It comes out of the natural inclination of the human soul towards the Infinite; of all human inquiries, it is the most profound, yet it was so prepared and delivered that the simplest mind could grasp it. Out of the efforts of our brother, we have obtained a great
and blessing.
Rev. Henderson also filled the pastor's engagement to speak the Attucks in the afternoon. Our pastor, and incidentally our church, was presented in a very splendid manner before the vast crowd which gathered to hear him. This, however, will no doubt be spoken of in another place. The Long was present at the morning service Sunday, and also at the afternoon service held at the Attucks. His condition was very much improved and it will be no surprise if he preaches himself next Sunday morning.
The collection for the 20th was $41.28.
We extend a very cordial welcome to all to worship with us at any time. Rev. C. M. Long, pastor.
TITUS TOWN
On last third Sunday, the very rainy weather prevented us from having a service until the afternoon when an appreciable number gathered for the communion service, which was enjoyed. Rev. C. E. Redd, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, Frederickburg, preached for us, the occasion being a Sunday school rally. An excellent program was rendered at this service. Numbers assembled last Sunday, though inclement. Mrs. Sarah Poole addressed the Sunday school, explaining the lesson on the "Wise and Foolish Virgins." The pastor reviewed the lesson for the day, and both talks were very inspiring. The pastor preached a very helpful sermon on "Prayer," text, "The Fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
In the afternoon, Dr. O. C. Jones, D. D., pastor of the Mt. Hermon Baptist church, Portsmouth, preached a most excellent sermon. The text chosen was Acts 6:3, and the subject, "The Minister's Helpers." This was the occasion of the ordination of five brethren as deacons of the Mt. Pleasant church. Deacon S. Allen, of First Calvary, prayed fervently. Deacon Miller, of Bank Street, gave the charm and Deacon Hughes, the hand of fellowship. This was indeed an impressive service, and if any man mistake his duties and fail to perform them, it is not because he has not been taught. At night, the pastor preached again. The B. Y. P. U. had a full and helpful meeting. Mrs. E. J. Stinson was a most charming hostess for the Know Nothing Art and Literary Circle on February 17th, and Mrs. Brown on the 24th, this being the regular monthly literary meeting. Among the most interesting numbers was a paper on "Duty," by Mrs. Pearl Watson, and a vocal solo by Mrs. Stinson.
On February 22nd, the Circle gave a Nookie social at the residence of Mrs. Ethel Thomas. A large number gathered and the evening was much enjoyed.
Mrs. Louisa Cowell, Mrs. Sample,
Mr. Lewis Foster and Mr. Arthur
Williams are able to be out.

Baltimore Business Men Organize
Baltimore, Mariland, March 1. The colored business men in Baltimore who have organized under the name of the Colored Business Men's Exchange, held a very elaborate banquet on Monday evening of last week at the Masonic Temple of that city. There were more than one hundred business men present, all of whom seemed inspired by the simple though philosophical address of Mr. John W. Lewis, who made the principal address of the evening. Mr. Lewis was applauded to the echo upon the conclusion of his romarks after which short after-dinner speeches were made by other representative visitors and members of the organization. Mr. C. Henry Jenkins, member of the Taylor and Jenkins Banking firm occupied the position of toastmaster and conducted the program in Gladstonion fashion. Mr. W. H. Dood, who is the president of the Colored Business Men's Exchange, was among the speakers and in a rather forceful manner urged his fellow-business men to aspire for lofty honors in the commercial world of today.

He has just returned to England after twenty years' prospecting in some of the land known regions of Africa, and he is continued that a veritable Gold-crown lies deep in the desert country of the Richtersveld, along the lower reaches of the Orange River.
"There has been for many years," he declared, "something more than a legend of a whole mountain of copper, good in quality to a high-grade ore, limited in miles north of the mines, and in the Time Company company.
It contained four expolitions at different times, and to and evidence which established beyond doubt that the ruler had a real foundation. One piece of evidence of some "weight" was the discovery of a bugger of absolutely pure copper, many tons in weight, on the thank of an almost inaccessible mountain. Another mountain consisted almost solidly of hematite of great richness, containing about 84 per cent of oxide of iron."

THE PENALTY OF MISUNDERSTANDING
THE PENALTY OF MISUNDERSTANDING
(By James S. Gregg, Principal of Hampton Institute)
Hampton, Va.—In the larger and more public relationships of life, as well as the personal ones, the prevalence of misunderstanding is evident. There is misapprehension, lack of acquaintance, lack of sympathy, suspicion, and so finally bad feeling, between different groups and classes of society. The directing minds of many of the great corporations hold aloof from the directing minds of the labor unions; despise them, distrust them, dislike them, frequently refuse to give them credit for honorable purposes. This attitude and feeling is cordially reciprocated.
In like manner, a certain type of old-fashioned Northerners fail, and do not try to win the point of view of the type of old-fashioned Southers who are not natural communists.
Quite as striking are the diverse guilds of ignorance and prejudice that separate the Roman Catholics from the Protestant, the Methodists from the Unitarian, the ritualists from the Quaker, the Episcopalians from the Baptist.
It has been justly remarked that a modern pagan might explain, surveying the present condition of the Church Universal: "Bebold, how these Christians misunderstand one another."
Worst of all, we now have all Europe, most of Asia and Africa, and much of America involved in the bitter battles, the insane fear, the consuming jealousies, the wicked contempt the cruel carelessness of one's neighbor and one's brother in Christ, which war lorings, and which, unhappily, peace does not for a long time remove. If the world does not win and keep peace with good-will, the world will not keep peace long. Good-will can be built up securely only upon acquaintance and understanding and mutual confidence and mutual respect. We have every reason to believe, that, in spite of the huge difficulty of making ourselves comprehended by our fellow-men, there are two Christian virtues which do help mightily, and which usually win the victory in the end: sincerity and courage.
OCEANA CIRCUIT
The services at St. John's church, Greenwich, were fairly well attended last Sunday. The Sunday school is rehearsing for the Easter service.

News of the U. N. I. A.
No. 198 division had a glorious day in their exercises of unveiling their masters. I have been in the church with the order by the president at 2:15 p.m., a Galilee Christian church, with the chaplain at his post of duty. First, the chair sang "Holy, Lord God Almighty." Afterwards the ode of the U. N. 1. A. was sung, "From Greenland's Ley Mountains," being called on the vice president for the church. Then the chair rendered a selection, after which Duncan Sam Pearce, of the Galilee Christian church, gave the welcome address. Rev. Isaac Evans introduced the Hon. Allen Hobbs, the great organizer, who made a grand impression on the minds of his hearers. The cheers rang high in the church.
Those assisting in unveiling the charter were: Mrs. Mary Evans, president of the indies, and Mrs. Louvainia de la Mille's department. When the organizer, A. Hobbs, called for unveiling, they gracefully unveiled the chart and it was a beautiful scene.
The organizer, Mr. Hobbs, bud to leave on business; therefore the president, Rev. Isaac Evans, continued the program. A collection was called for Bros. Charlie Trotman and invaluable assistance in making the collection. The number of the program was music by the choir. Second, a recitation by Mrs. Lamine Locker, which was well received; third, a recitation by Miss Lucea L. Wood; fourth, was an address by Mrs. Bunil, which caused much cheering. She considered a very sweet melody. Next was a recitation by the secretary of the ladies' department, Mrs. Louvenia Hughes, subject-
"Garveyism." Next was responses to various addresses by vice-president, Rev. Willis L. Lynn. It is said that Rev. Isaac has a splendid corps of officers who will stand by the organization.
President Isaac Evans gave a very good talk. He said in part: "The flags that were fluttering in the mist had lived through many battles and caused many mothers to weep for the loss of her son, and wives to weep for their husbands. Christopher Attucks shed his blood for American liberty, also George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Wm. McKinley and President Wilson, the last, but not the least.
The green, red and black with a large star is the flag which governs 400,000,000 Negroes.

The recent announcement from Tuskegee where the Inter-Colegiate Athletic Association met, that athletic activities between the schools would be conducted on a more liberal basis, is a rift in the clouds of inactivity among many Southern schools which we earnestly hope will prove a complete break.
This association is as far as we know of the only one in operation among a large number of schools. Hampton, Va., Union, Howard and Lincoln have some kind of association, but the name of it remains a secret.
This is the only way college sports can be built up to a high standard. Of all the race stars turned out, 89% of them came from white schools. This was because the race schools did not encourage athletics, but in many instances they openly opposed it.
The race schools have never fully realized the importance and the necessity of promoting sports among the student bodies. Center College (white), of Kentucky, is a typical example of what a good team can do for a college. For years this little school was unknown outside of its environs. But through the work of a good coach a winning football team was developed and over night as it were this little school was the talk of the nation. Harvard, Yale, Princeton and other big universities were seeking games with them. All the noted sport writers began to fill column after column in their papers about their doings. So today this school is as well known as any of the large schools with as many students in one class as Center has in its whole student body.
While no race school may attain such eminence, but by careful organization and promotion, they may in the same proportion receive as much publicity. Many are the boys who refuse to continue in school because they say they find the life too dull. While this is a poor excuse for a man not continuing his education, it serves as an example to just what is necessary for the various schools to do in order to make education popular with every one.
Competent coaches can now be obtained, as there are a number of ex-stars working in lines that are not in keeping with their training and desires. All of our large schools should be represented at the large athletic meets, no matter where they are held. While the foot ball field is somewhat closed with the white schools, track meets remain as open as ever.
The old stars are passing and the race schools must turn the new ones to take their places. Let us hear of Howard, Lincoln, Morris Brown and Wilberforce and others meeting in a great athletic carnival. This is the staff that makes men as well as schools. While action must be taken by the student body also, it is primarily up to the faculty and board of directors of these schools to take the first step.

"As far as possible, copies should also be sent to Senatora, members of the House, members of the Republican National Committee, and to daily newspapers inclined to be fair, as well as prominent leaders of public thought and moulders of public opinion."
Then Col. Johnson was asked this important question: "Do you think the time is here for an effective campaign for justice, with sufficient funds to do effective work and establish headquarters."
"Oh, God, how badly we need the funds with which to fight effectively in carrying forward our propaganda for right, for justice, for life and against those enemies to America's best interests who are seeking our race's political annihilation. We must fight like the Jews have fought and like other successful races have fought to gain their rights and the respect of their fellow; we must organize our people and maintain headquarters at the most appropriate place where our interests can be protected, and I know we must be pleased to co-operate in working out the plan of reaching the people, for I know of no more appropriate organization to inaugurate such a popular and practical program than The Associated Negro Press.
"We should maintain headquarters here for carrying forward legitimate propaganda in defense of and in the interest of our race, to secure the passage of laws appropriate to our status as American citizens, and to vigorously oppose, inside and outside of Congress, any and all anti-Negro and anti-American doctrine and practice." "We should throw around such a plan every guarantee that whatever funds may be contributed will be effectively applied and properly accounted for." Ever since the election, when Col. Johnson relinquished his duties in Chicago, he has been in Washington in constant touch with Senators, Representatives and leaders, facing the issues of Negro citizenship, except for the brief period when he visited his home in Atlanta and made a great plea or national justice. Col. Johnson states that he is not to wait for the due time to act, but is going ahead at his own expense to open headquarters, believing that the public will not fail in their duty to the race.
During inauguration week, when prominent people will be assembled here from every section of the country, it is certain that definite arrangements will be worked out to carry on the "Campaign for Justice," and that a committee will be formed of well-known citizens entrusted with the responsibility of raising a fund of $100,000, at least, to do the necessary and effective work suggested by Col. Johnson, who is regarded as the foremost and most courageous political leader of the times.

HAMPTON DEFEATS HOWARD
Most Thrilling Game Seen in These Parts In a Long Time
Game Marked by Clean Fast Playing From the Beginning to the End (By Charles H. Williams)
Hampton, Va., Feb. 28.—The Howard University basket halt quintet, fresh from its victory over "the Seasiders" in Washington, journeyed to Hampton for the annual Washington's birthday clash, confident of victory. Howard's slogan for this year has been: "Win Every Game". During the final minutes of play in the first game, the wonderful Howard spirit turned a certain defeat into victory, living up to their slogan. It was natural, then, that although they expected a great contest, Coach Morrison felt that his proteges would come out victorious.
The annual Washington's birthday game is the basketball classie of the season, and the fans of the Lower Peninsula were out in force to cheer their favorites on to victory. It was not in the final moments of the game that great playing was done, but at the sound of the referee's whistle there began the hardest, fastest, and one of the most closely-contested squares ever witnessed at Hampton. The defense worked of both teams was par excellence. Bucks were shot under the greatest difficulty. So closely were the teams matched that the first half ended with the score 9 to 9.
With the beginning of the second half, Howard came back with that wonderful spirit which she is known to possess; but, on her every move, Hampton was there. The game was tied three times during the last half.

The old spirit, however, that has made Hampton famous was in evidence from the beginning to the end of the game for the first time in two years. The end of the game won for Howard in Washington defended Howard at Hampton.
At the sound of the time keeper's
whistle, with the score 21 to 18 in
Hampton's favor, the student body
cheered wildly and left the spacious
gymnasium happy, feeling that this
was the ending of a perfect day.

The game was declared by the spectators at be one of the most thrilling ever witnessed at Hampton. No finer exhibition of self-control and real sportsmanship has ever been witnessed in any of our contests. The team had been advancing, with Hampton having a slight advantage in the passing game. Every player on both teams did his best. Simms at center for Howard was easily the Washington star, while Jones and Chamberlain at guard, and Saulders at forward played stellar ball for Hampton.
