Justice Rules Against Jim Crowism In Inter-State Travel Appropriation For Howard University Greatly Increased Jailer Refused To Surrender Prisoners To Houston FIRST IN LIVE NEWS ALL THE TIME VOL. XXI. NO. 15 Justice R Appre Ja DECISION IN RAILWAY CASE FAR REACHING If Destination is Wash- ington State Law Does Not Apply May be Important Victory if Fight for Enforcement Continues Washington, D. G.—A ruling that may result in inter-state electric railway companies being compelled to permit white and colored passengers to ride in cars without being segregated was made this week by the McCoy, when he directed a jury to return a verdict in favor of Frederick J. Brooks and William A. Waller, both colored, who on August 6, 1917, were off duty as the washington, Baltimore, Railway Company at Bestgate, MD. An attorney of 5000 each was made by the jury. The plaintiffs, through attorneys J. J. O'Leary and W. Raymond Neudocker, stated that they were com- mitted to leave the car at an out-of-the-room location and they refused to move from the front of the car. They had obtained seats. Both men held tickets to Washington and boarded the train at Annapolis. Sidney McCoy holds that the railway companies have no right to compel, or to compel, to take any specific seat in cars, as the law known as the "Jim Crow law" is applicable only as far as State traffic is concerned and does not apply to persons in interstate traffic within their right in taking the front of the car and the company acted in violation of the law in putting the two men off from the train. Justice McCoy ruled that in order to segregate white and colored passengers, the companies must first file the proposed regulations with the Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr. O'Leary, in his argument, stated that the railway company had taken no such action in segregation rule had been made by the directors of the corporation. The decision will be applicable to all railway companies running out of the District of Columbia, and despite the length of the journey taken by a colored passenger, Washington, he cannot be compelled to take a seat at the direction of the conductor unless the company has taken the action to make the "Jim Crow law" of the State apply to interstate traffic. The effect this important ruling will have can not exactly be estimated at present. This is the first definite ruling covering a wide area yet made on the so-called "Jim Crow law." The importance of the victory is second time yet made concerning the Metro route. TIDEWATER TALKS ON THRIFT (By Edward A. Baker, Tidewater Bank & Trust Co.) FINANCIAL BACKING This is not an exclusive term, as some folks seem to think. Every person can, through a program of thoughtful trust, insure himself against the embarrassing-predicaments that very often occur and that cannot be avoided. Your home should have financial backing. If you once establish this habit of regular saving, you will never regret it, and it will always prove a positive blessing to you and yours. To best protection against hardship in the future is a little self-denial in the present, and it ought to be practiced in the home by Mutual consent of those concerned. You must save to get your start. Then if you have the character, treasure and energy, then you can accomplish. Get the saving habit and it will give you a good excuse when you are tempted towards extravagance. Make every week your thrift week and begin today by opening an account in the Savings Department of Tidewater Bank and Trust Co., 738 Church street. A special program will be rendered at Emanuel A. M. E. church, Easter Sunday evening by the choir, entitled, "The Words of Christ." It is really a sermon, well arranged and will convey a helpful message to all who hear it.

THE RALEIGH PASSES AWAY RT ILLNESS M. E. CHURCH ESTABLISHES NEW BUREAU Is Part of General Program to Promote Better Leadership DR. HUGHES CHOSEN Will Rank as Important Part of the Regular Church's Work New York City, March 25—Establishment of a Bureau of Negro Work with a Negro executive secretary, who will have complete charge of all interests and activities of Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal church, has been effected by the Board of Home Missions and Negro Church Extension of that denomination, recording to information reaching here. The Reverend Mr. W. A. C. Hughes, D. D., formerly Area Secretary of New Orleans, has been elected to head the Bureau. He will have supervision over all the performance of the Church and interpret the peculiar problems and needs of his people to the Board. This Bureau will have equal standing in the organization with the Bureau of City Work, the Bureau of Rural Work, the Bureau of Foreign-Speaking Work and other bureaus of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension. This innovation in Methodist organization is a part of the general program of the Church to train and provide opportunities for Negroes to undertake religious activities and promote matters of religious activities and promote leaders in other activities of the race group. Secretary Hughes received many votes at the Methodist General Conference at Des Moines, last week, when two bishops were elected to the Methodist Episcopal Church. The importance of his present position may be understood when it is pointed out that during 1920, the program for Negro activities of the Methodist Board of Christian Church Extension involved the expenditure on 138 building projects in the South and $66,640 for maintenance in assisting 500 preachers and social workers; and in the North $67,733 was used in building projects and $47,875 in assisting total expenditures aggregated $355,915. In the rural program three summer schools of Rural Methods for Negro pastors with an attendance of administrators were held. Agriculture ministers were measured promoting more scientific measures promoting more scientific measures in the Negroes of rural communities. Dr. Hughes is a native of Maryland, whose fether and grandfather were ministers, and was educated at Morgan College and Taylor University. NORFOLK, VA., SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921 $583,850 FOR HOWARD NEXT FISCAL YEAR Provisions Made for Home Economics Bldg. and Dining Hall REDUCTION TITLE FALSE Dr. Emmett Scott Outlines How Appropriations Will be Spent Washington, D.C., May 25.—Howard University, after receiving last year (1920-1921), an increase in Congressional appropriation, nearly as large as the whole amount received for all purposes the year 1919-1920, and for several years previously, has this year (1921-1922) received at the hands of the Congress which has just adjourned a total appropriation of $280,000, an increase over the appropriation of $243,000 for the year 1920-1921 of $37,000. Of this appropriation of $280,000 for the year 1921-1922, $116,000 will go toward additions to the Home Economics Building, for which $88,000 was appropriated last year, thereby providing for the University a Home Economics Building, to include Dining Halls and kitchens to accommodate the students, amounting to $210,000. Ernestonous publication has been made to the effect that the Congressional appropriation for Howard University next year has been reduced by some sixty-nine thousand dollars. This error doubtless grew out of the fact that the chronicler did not await the final action of the House and Senate but reported upon the items as carried by the House appropriations alone. The Senate recommendations carry the above named sum of $280,000, which appropriation was accepted by the House of Representatives. Dr. Emmet J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the University, announces that the Government appropriation for next year will be spent as follows: (1) for maintenance, to be used in payment of part of the salaries of the officers, professors, the other regular employees of the University, ice and stationery, the balance of which shall be paid from donations and other sources, of which sum not less than $2,200 shall be used for normal instruction, $4,000; (2) for laundry, $4,000; (3) for structures, and other necessary expenses of the department of manual arts, $20,000; (3) for books, shelving, furniture, and fixtures for the libraries, $1,500; (4) for improvement of the buildings, $2,500; (5) for addition of economic house, to include dhalls and kitchens, to provide refrigeration, laundry, barkery, garbage, incinerator, all equipment necessary for the buildings and also to provide for heating apparatus thereof and man-made equipment from the central heating plant at Freedmen's Hospital to the buildings, $116,000; (6) Medical Department: for part cost of needed laboratories and buildings, $8,000; (7) for material and apparatus for chemical, physical, and biological studies and use in laboratories of the science hall, including cases and sheeting, $2,000; (8) fuel light: for part payment for fuel and light, Freedmen's Hospital and Howard University, all necessary labor care for and operate the same, $10,000. In all, $280,000. In addition to the above the $85,000 appropriated last year will also be spent, bringing the total amount of Government funds to be expended up to $100,000 and the spent for carrying on the School of Medicine and the School of Medicine will be approximately $90,000; while the amount to be paid by students in the way of various and sundry fees will be $30,000 and from donations, endowment and from approximately $34,000—a total budget for the fiscal year of $733,850.00.

Hays Holds Audience With Employees JOURNAL AND GUIDE BUREAU GROUND 1005 BY DANIEL W. CHISE Postmaster General Will H. Hays has gone on record as a prince of good fellows. He has inaugurated in the postal service a "humanization program," aiming to come into actual touch with each of the two thousand or more employees of that service here in Washington.

Dyer, former Superintendent of Schools in Boston, only a small percentage of the children attended the district public schools, complete a high school course, if the past records he taken as a criterion. The speaker cited instances where in the past only one-half of the children in the fifth grades reached the eight grade or so, a dozen who were promoted to the high school completed their courses in these institutions before withdrawing. This is directly attributable to the fact, said Dr. Dyer, that educators are trying to make children fit a standardized curriculum, and His mental capacity is intelligence you cannot make children fit this suit, tests.

PROF. GANDY AT I. C. NORCOM HIGH SCHOOL On Friday night, March 18th, the large auditorium of the I. C. Norcom High School was taxed to its capacity to accommodate the friends and patrons of the school who had gathered to hear what has since been said to be the most interesting lecture of the season. The occasion was the presentation of Prof. J. M. Gandy, president of V. N. and I. L., by the Portsmouth Teachers Association in public lecture. Choosing for his subject, "Why Go to School at All?" Prof. Gandy held his hearers in rapt attention while he pointed out to them the absolute necessity for keeping children in school every day of the school year. He impressed upon them very emulation that in this progressive age, in order to meet and successfully cope with the exigencies which daily confront us, we must be educationally prepared. The world sympathizes with those of our fore-pavents who, by reason of precious conditions of servitude, cannot read or write," said Prof. Gandy, "but it will not tolerate that man or Times Size of Regular City Lots Prices from $300 to $500. No 2 x 4 City Lots. Enough Land for a Home and Garden that woman who has failed to make use of his or her opportunities." He declared that education is the birthright of every child and when he is robbed of it, he is robbed of his birthright. Dr. Gandy is one of the most erudite men of our race and one of its foremost educators. His address made a deep impression upon his hearers and will do much to give them a new educational impetus. The Portsmouth Teachers' Association is a congratulated for presenting to the public a spoken speaker as Dr. Gandy, and it is earnest hoped that when they are presented the public will navil themselves of the opportunity to hear them. Miss E. N. Jones is president of the association. PORTSMOUTH COMMUNITY SERVICE NOTES An especial feature of the Mothers' Club meeting on Thursday, March 31, will be a talk by Mrs. L. D.

Mr. Buchanan has purchased his home in Pittsburgh, Pa., where The Competitor is published, has moved his family into his new home, and has assumed charge of his new duties. In order to secure Mr. Buchanan, the company had to recapitalize and provide the new management with sufficient funds to operate without interruption. This was done, and The Competitor is given new life under NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE of the efficient management of Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Robert L. Vann, assistant city solicitor for the city of Pittsburgh and national figure in politics, naval and national for the Pittsburgh Courier, one of the leading weeklies of the race, was retained by the company as editor.

These two men, assisted by a competent office force, will keep The Competitor before the reading world each month with regularity. Every contributor is a regularist. The best thinkers of the race will be read in The Competitor. The policy of the magazine will remain unchanged. "Not what someone is doing to us, but what are we doing for ourselves," is the slogan of the editor. This means there will be no singing of "The Blues" in The Competitor. A straightforward drive for race bettlement in every activity of Americans will be the aim of the magazine. The release date of the magazine is the 27th of each month preceding the issue date.

STAR HAIR GROWER We have received a bulletin from the office of the Odd Fellows' Journal, issued at Washington, in which the following statement is made: "After more than two years of constant and tedious siftings through the judicial machinery of the State of Pennsylvania, the pretended claims of Benjamin Jefferson Davis and his confederates to the offices, funds, and property of the Sub-Committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows were relegated to the depths of oblivion by the decision of the seven judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania for the Eastern District, which decision was handed down February 28, 1921. "With the incidents leading up to the postponement of the Eighteenth B. M. C. of the conspiracy of Davis and his accompanies (Houston, Howard, Johnson, Mitchell, Warner, Noel and others), and of the subsequent litigation begun in January, 1919, the membership of the Order and the public generally are already familiar." This final disposition of the case by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania should be final, as to the litigation, and we suppose that it will be; it should also so operate to bring the two factions together for the purpose of composing their differences and remitting the Order, but we much doubt if it will operate that way. The contention for control of the Order has always contained too much of personal feeling that overlooks the common interests. This personal question has so far got tangled up with the litigation, which has been long drawn out and costly to both factions, that it is much to be doubted if the leaders can fetch themselves to get together and reach an understanding advantageous to the Order. The Odd Fellows is one of the strongest and most influential organized bodies we have and the interest of the race is very largely in sympathy with it; the hope has been general, therefore, that the factions would get together and start all over again as one united body. That is the hope now, but the hope has not much to hold it up.

Mr. and Mrs. Brenda Williams celo GAME FISH SWIM UP STREAM It's easy to drift as the current flows; It's easy to move on the deep tide goes; But the answer comes when the breakers crash And strike the soul with a bitter lash— When the goal ahead is endless fight Trua a sunless day and a starless night. When a simmer on any and all a simmer's night. When far cry breaks on the sleeper's dream. "Only game fish swim up streams." When the clouds bank in—and the soul turns blue— When inte hold fast and you can't break When trouble swells like a tidal wave. And hope is a ghost by an open grave. You have reached the test in a frame of mind Where only the quitters fall behind. Where the far cry breaks on the sleeper's dream. "Only game fish swim up streams." - Ongadaa, Sportman JOHN R. RIDDICK In thinking over the work that John R. Riddick is doing here in Norfolk, the above poem is quite applicable. Mr. Riddick has been without his sight for eighteen years; yet he has been a real factor in the economic, industrial and commercial life of our citizens during the strenuous times through which we have lived. The late tate men, contractors and builders have been crying hard times. "There is nothing doing," etc. Not so with John Riddick. Since the first of the year he has put in the woodwork of the large Baptist church that is being built in Portsmouth and is building in his seventh dwelling house here in Norfolk. These are real homes, too, ranging from large brick and stone lights and bath. Economically it gives our group seven new modern homes, thereby relieving the housing condition just that much with a first-class home. Industrially it has meant regular work for 25 men at a time when big concerns were laying off men and kept distressed. Commercially, it has been distributed and paid to twenty-five men and they have been able to pay cash for their various needs, with an occasional visit to the bank with a deposit. Truly "Only the GAME fish swim up stream," and John R. Biddick is leading the small school that is making its way up stream, for this 'blind man' is not up street asking alms, but is furnishing others employment, producing modern homes and doing this at a time when both work and homes are badly needed. Upon being asked how it is that he is able to do all of this work at this particular time when others are crying "hard times." Mr. Riddick replied that the past year's experience taught him that ones success is assured when he takes in consideration the other fellow or racemen or others. R.F. ETHERIDGE Mr. Etheridge is in the class of "game fish" that "swim up stream." Coming to Norfolk a few years ago from North Carolina, he secured a position with the McCurdley Pharmacy, which was conducted by Dr. McCurdley, a white physician. After working in this position for seven years he then entered the insurance business, which he remained until December 29, 1919. At that time he bought the McCurdley Pharmacy successfully run the business of the first place in which he worked when he came to Norfolk in 1907. Mr. Etheridge carries a full line of the best drugs, candies and toilet articles. His income report shows a business of about $15,000.00 last year. He is carrying about a $5,000.00 stock that he has made his place at the corner of Cherry Street streets, one of the most popular places, city. Of the three drug stores among our group in Norfolk proper, Mr. Etheridge carries the largest stock. Not only did he purchase the stock of the McCurdrey Pharmacy, but he formed a company and bought the three-story building in which the store was located, thereby securing a permanent location for the store; also obtaining a valuable corner on the fast developing Church street.

Is it your duty to aid them or not? Paul said in Romans 15-1 "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves."

Church last Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Baraca Bible Class, Mr. E. W. Week, teacher, was a splendid success in every way.

He outlined and emphasized some of the opportunities surrounding Afro-Americans, in industry, in religion, in education, in business and urged morality and character-building, economic and social as the fundamental essentials to success. He excavated extravagance and idolessness being two of the greatest evils of the present time, and attributed much of it to war-time wages and conditions. He pleaded for law enforcement, and condemned lawlessness wherever His address throughout was sound and practical, and was much enjoyed by the audience that heard him. Mr. John B.

The sermon was a.b—f wrlupwyp The real significance of the occasion was emphasized, and every practical lesson adduced.

Morning services 11:30, prompt. Rev. C. M. Long, Pastor. AN EASTER SERMON By REV. G. R. MALLOY, Pastor Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, Titus Town, Va. Subject: "Death, the Gateway of Life." When the Greeks came to Jesus, He said to them in John 12:24: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, ibideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." What wonderful lessons Christ has taught us through the figure of the seed. When He would tell us of the effect of the Kingdom of Heaven on the hearers, He represented the effect in the four kinds of soil. And when He would impress us of the subtle way in which Satan does his work, He tells us the seed and the tares and how they grow. He tells us what the wheat and when He would instruct us as to the powerful growth of the Kingdom of Heaven, He teaches it by the parable of the mustard seed. And now when He desired to tell us of the nature of the life of this kingdom and how this life becomes fruitful, He teaches it by telling us of the falling of the seed into good ground and perishing. In many instances, Christ has used the book of nature to illustrate in the most beautiful and simple manner the most difficult doctrines. there is a hidden life. 1. Note that in a grain of wheat That mysterious thing which we call life is wrapped up in some wonderful manner in the coat of the grain of wheat. It is imprisoned there. This is the great truth of the text, that the life that is hidden life that is hidden. And it is hidden until the natural process of liberating it comes. Notice that in His own experience His Divine life was hidden for thirty years. From infancy His Divine human life was a hidden life. He grew as any other Child He learned as any other child, He was obedient unto his parent, and conformed to all conditions of child life as any other when He became man He doubtless, attracted no attention what ever above any of the other young men of Nazareth, except for His uprightness of Character and the consistency of His department. For when in after life, He went back to Nazareth, the very reason for their doubt was that He was the carpenter's son and that His brethren and sisters nothing in Him than they for any expression of belief in His Messiah of the world. His life had been a hidden life. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE The life of the Church until the Day of Pentecost had been a hidden life to the world. It was wrapped up in the grain of wheat, so to speak, the Jewish Nation. There it remained, and it was not known to the world that the only truly Divine religion was then hidden among the people. It was hidden in the deep spirituality of the law and the glorious prophecies of the world that was hidden in the personality of the coming Messiah. It was hidden until the fullness of time should come. II. The Lonely Life. Here is a bag of wheat, there are thousands of grains of wheat in the bag. If you untie the bag and pour out the wheat, the life in each grain is far separated from the other as if the grains were miles apart. There is no adhesive force between the grains there is no unifying power. But the wheat is so软 and it will ever remain alone. It is soft and it has never been found in the pyramids of Egypt that were thousands of years there. And that some of these grains grew when placed in the soil. Now what loneliness and how long for the wheat life in the pyramids. This truth, however, is no more evident than the life of the church which is hidden. There are Christians today that are just like the grains of wheat. They are as far apart from other Christians, they have as little to do with them in life, in the salvation they were strangers. There is little cohesion or adhesion in the life of the church. But there is an individuality and sin, the account of selfishness and sin, the life within is hidden and separated from all others. This is the difference between the wheat in the bag and the wheat in the soil. In the bag the life of the wheat in the soil is separated and alone; when you take that wheat and sow it in the soil, you see the life bursting forth from the grains, and now there is a beautiful unity produced by the soil and sunshine in it. This is a new grain of rich harvest. What a glorious church we would have if we could make every Christian grow. If the hidden and lonely grains were made a union of individuals in the great work of the Master, the dead church grains of wheat in the bag would become the live church grains of wheat growing in the soil. This is what the Master calls death. I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. What seems to be the death of the grain is really the life of the grain, and the life can be liberated is that the grain must perish. When this is done, the bars and doors that have imprisoned the life are broken down and the life springs forth to grow and bring forth its fruit. He went down into the tomb of death that He was glorified with the largeness of his life. It was not until the bands that bound Him had burst that He came forth in the glory of His resurrection life, and entered as a conqueror over the last and great foe He had taken. He had first fallen into the ground that He grew therefrom as the wheat and ascended into Paradise, where He is now performing the Holy function of His life, that of Great High Priest. And now His train fills the sky, and flowers in the earth legion upon legion. So, when the Greeks came to see Him, he declared that He must die. The salvation of the world depended on this as much as on His life here in this world, which we must all die to this world, and that is the death of consecration. IV. The Growing and Fruitful Life. There is no life that does not grow out of a grave. The lily grows from the grave, and the lily grows from the buried. The stalk of wheat grows from the grave where the grain of wheat was buried. The child grows from the grave of service, care and love, where the lives of father and mother were buried. And the Christ was buried. And the Christ was Saviour lay. And any man who would follow Christ must come out of the grave to walk in newness of life like His resurrection. In our own lives as Christians there is a grave that grows in beauty of consecration, that is the grave of life. And that is the grave where we have buried selfishness, worldiness and sin Many of us want to be fruitful. Why are we not? It is only because the life. The life of fruitfulness is we have not buried that which hides our lives. We have not ought not to say and ought not to do. We have not surrendered our old habits and ways, and attended their funeral and buried them. And we go on living, carrying our life around you, so you would carry the grain of wheat for our food. Our fruitfulness. "If hen we were raised together with Christ, seek those things that are above where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, on angels of the earth. For ye put on angels of the earth. For ye died and your life is hid with Christ shall be manifested, then shall ye also be manifested with Him in glory." Let those who read take heed. May we all bury those things that hinder our lives from being all our Lord JERUSALEM BAPTIST CHURCH (By H. J. Griffith) The Sunday school was largely late- tive. At 11:30 a. m., the pastor spoke.

He was advised that Mz. James himself must come and identify the bag. Mr, James then found another Norfolk friend, and together they went to the Travelers Aid at the C. & 0. dock, asked for the bug, stating that in some mannor the bay must have gotten confused; he had ‘under- stood a young ludy had his whom he had never seen. They were referred for ull information to Travelers Aid Headquarters.

Senator Glass : Opposes Ku Klux Lynchburg, Va., March 15.—Busi- ness and professional men this after- noon held a meeting to devise ways and means of Gnbating: the organiza. tion for local branch of the Ku Klux Klan, which, according to paid adver- tisements appearing in local _news- vapers, is now organizing in Lynch- burg. The Klan is snid to have been chartered under the Inws of Gvorgia. Statements opposing the forming of the Klan here were afterward issued by United States Senutor Carter Glass, Judge Frank P. Christian, of the Corporation Court, Mayor Fred. Harper, Major Harry Holt, comman- der of Lynchburg Post, American Le- xion, Commonwealth's Attorney Ro- ‘bert D. Yancey and others. Senator Glass said: “I should be very much amazed if there are to be found in Lynchburg many persons who are simple enough to respond to the invitation to waste their time and energies in anything sv mischievous.” Secretary of Navy to Visit Haiti Washington, D.

Tucker ¥ Time and time again we have been the hearers on the public use of the word “nigger.” At times, through the down right reference to'the race as such; or, through the telling of some Joke or story, Our acquiescence on the use of that! term has assuaged and kept alive its fasage. In doing this, we have for gotten that we ‘not only place our- selves in the lowest depths of racial antipathy, but countenance the use of that stigmatic term. The War Department realized the use of that and other words greatly and materially effected the morale of the races concerned. — Confidential memoranda was sent out to camps and cantonments which directed that the use of the words “dago,” “nigger,” ‘and “wop" would nob be tolerated. Not only did the enforcement of the orders obviate the necessity for dis- ciplinary action on offenders, but it fostered the esprit de corpa in camps through the controlied use of such terms. And to accomplish an objective, countries at war resorted to any means for porsible desired results. Camouflage and propaganda were ef- fective measures as means to an end. Propaganda, in the form of n leaflet entitled: “Young Man, Why Are You Here” and dropped by airplane in col- ored sections, made a panoramic view of conditions which the Negroes were subjected to in America. Subsequent Publication of the leaflet, in the form of secret memorandum, evidenced that its authors were conversant on their subject. ‘The leaflet also stated that conditions would remain the same for the Negro after the war, Whethersor not the authors of’ the Propaganda were to be classed in the role of seer remnined to be seen; but, over an clipse of time, from the sist ing of the Armistice to the present Lime, we find our attention still in- vited to first puge heavy black type headlines: "NEGRO LYNCHED"; “DOGS ON CHASE"; “NEGRO BURNED ALIVE” * Coastant retrespection and a recital Mf eceurrences from November 11, IK, to the present time would, in: deed, reveal some truth in the state- ment made by the authors of the: leaflet; hut, in spite of these eceur- renees, eur’ aploristie view carries our vision to an eventual equity in rights and priviluysss, ' But alone with the signing of the) [Armistice, many ef the little war! Fethies faded like mist before the’ lmorning sun. And there is no reason | way these references should he tol. jevaled sng more now thin tien, In fact, if the use of the expressions materially effeeted the morale of troops during the war, these same refwrences ure evenly “more otious now thin then, if only beenuse of the war. Although much was said dealing, with the use of the words “dugo,” “wap” and “nigger,” and the latter more particularly, Dr. Moton realized the psychological’ vifect in attacking the expression on the campus and made known to the editor of the Memphis Commercial Appeat—speak- ing after that gentleman and from the same platform—how little the Ne- gro appreciated the use of that word when he, the editor, referred to Ne- groes as “niggers” during the course of the editor’s address. Even though, from reports, the editor’s statements had always been considered unim- peachable, no matter if made in a challenging or unsophisticated man- ner, the Principal of Tuskegee Insti- tute made himself firmly understood. It was also made known that the Ne- gro no’ longer appreciated and coan- tenanced the words “mammy” and “sambo” even thought applied in an amiuble manner. The Gullible may attempt to nd- vance varience in reason for the life and usage of these words: that it is only a habit: that no harm is meant at all times when the word is used. There is only one way in which we can look at such an expression, and that is in the manner of an insulb to the person spoken to or the person spoken of. Stevenson, writing about Whitman, said: “No one can appre- ciate Whitman's excellence until he has grown accustomed to his faults.” But, ‘no matter on what occasion speakers of other races may be called to speak, the effect and the excellence of their assistance are automatically lost when references are made as stated above. We will never become accustomed to such faults. But there is still another unfortu- nate feature of this expression which is equally disgusting and “cussable.” In our little daily and friendly con- versations we unintentionally refer to one unother in this manner. When we do so, we place ourselves below the standards of the recused.
