Henry Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urgently requests of you that a thorough investigation be made by the department of justice under authoritative federal laws of peonage conditions in Jackson County, Georgia, where John Williams, white guardian, has killed, or caused to be killed, eleven Negroes who threatened to testify against Williams regarding peonage, in indicative of similar conditions which exist in most Southern States and particularly in the Mississippi Delta. Henry Lewry, colored, was buried at the stake in most horrible fashion in Arkansas on January 26, 1919, being held in peonage. In Phillips County, Arkansas, in October, 1919, an unknown number of Negroes were slaughtered and others sentenced to death and imprisonment for attempting to secure redress from exploitation through courts of state State Thruway. This unfortunate criminal cases of peonage to the Department of Justice. The entire economic future of the South and of America are affected by this system. Thorough investigation and punishment of those guilty of perpetrating this system, must be made to the United States, must be made. We urge you to issue an order. "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary." Atlanta, Ga. — Sensational disclosures of alleged peonage and killing in Jasper county mark the sequel to recent discoveries of dead bodies of race mysteriously chained and weighted in the Yellow River and the unearthing of several bodies that were various places on the plantations. The disclosures have been no startling that Governor Dorsey has asked that a special grand jury be called to investigate the conditions in the county, in which the men were buried, in jail charged with conducting a peonage farm and causing the death of eleven men. Odyo Manning, a colored man on the farm, disclosed the awful conditions in the county, which led the authorities to the places where the murdered men were buried. His story of how the men were killed was startling. In many instances, the victims dug their own graves. Managers sent to dig a well, and when he had deep enough, he would knock him in the head and cover him up. Others were sent to dig ditches and killed in the same manner. They were lodged in a stockade with guards around it. In the day time the stockade was removed. The men were guarded during their work hours in the day to prevent their escape. Federal authorities investigation of the condition on the farm, given Williams a clean slate before the bodies of the three men were found in the river; but while investigating conditions on one of Williams's farms, he found armed guards working in the fields. The arrest of all the Williams boys has been ordered. Government agents are inquiring into reports that woman left either Jasper or Newton County for Atlanta several months ago because of the mysterious death of her husband. Further other plantation owners, in addition to Jasper County, are under investigation by Federal agents in Jasper County, who are seeking evidence to convict in alleged poonage canes. Sheriff W. F. Persons, of Jasper county, and his son are already under indictment and are to go to April 4th in Atlanta, on charges of killing the men and taken them in to poonage.

Edger, jailer of Woodford county, whom he removed from office because he was alleged to have perished when he killed Richard James, a Negro, from jail and lynch him March 12. It is the duty of a jailer, said Governor Morrow, "to resist a mob until he is freed, or killed. Accepting Edger's own statement as facts in the case he did nothing to defend the prisoner, asked for no help and demanded no assistance." while being examined at his house, and then stated, that he had made no outcry or call for assistance when the mob came to his house for the keys to the jail, as he said he did not wish to be prosecuted.

C.—Through the efforts of some Southern clerks, who feel that their jobs will soon be taken from them, an attempt was made to circulate a petition, calling upon Secretary Mellon, of the Treasury Department, to not appoint a colored man as Register of the Treasury. There are nearly 1,000 clerks in the Register's department. Many of these are Southernners appointed during the Wilson administration. Knowing that if a man of color is appointing men to lose their jobs, they are making a desperate, but vain fight, to hold on. It is a forgone conclusion that President Harding will appoint a colored man for this important post as was done by Taft, Roosevelt and others. At present, there are many prominent men in line for this post, with Hon. Charles A. Cottrill, of Ohio, on the inside. Among other men who are nominated are Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Mississippi, and R. R. Church. RESCUED FROM MOB WHILE WAITING FOR DEATH ROPE Raleigh, N. C.—Deputy Sheriff W. D.

Mr. Holder is known for a reputable citizen, and has a good friend, who stifle his friends, both white and colored, in feeling sympathy for him. "LIFT CLOUDS AWAY FROM THE NEGRO'S SUN" HON.C.M. WHITE (Bu J A G Lu Vella) "Nigger, keep in your place," is often used by the white man of the South in speaking to the colored man. I rather believe in that message with my plate.

White, Supreme Commander of the American Woodlands, Denver, Gulchland, helped his Maries at the Queen Street Baptist church Monday to help from the Negro's sun. The Negro's sun from the Negro's sun. The Negro's sun from the Negro's sun. He cannot expect the other fellow to do that; he has clouds of his own to lift. Mr. White spoke of the Negro's record in the purchase of Liberty Bonds, paying that we purchased $225,000,000 for Democracy. Why could we combine our business efforts together and purchase $100,000,000 in bonds to make Georgia safe for the Negro? (Applause). He well impressed with Norfolk's progress in commercial enterprises in our group and at another time in mentioning this said that we were enjoying more freedom than the Negro. You are doing the things that will lift the clouds from the Negro's sun." Mr. White is on a tour of the South visiting the various camps in all of the Southern States.

C.—Since it is true that educational, religious, social, industrial and political news items are only featured in Negro newspapers for the edification of Negro readers, it is very apparent that Negroes with one ounce and more of race pride should not lose an opportunity to buy and read Negro papers in preference to any other papers. The writer wishes to make his weekly news letter published in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE a source of information no only to the residents of North Carolina, but to these in other States as well. This can only be accomplished by co-operation on the part of those who wish to do their bit in fostering the progress of his or her race paper. Write, phone, or wire this correspondent any happenings among colored people in any place in North Carolina, and the item will appear in the current weekly newsletter. The correspondent will not be given publicly unless so desired. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE has a large circulation in the "Old North State," as well as in many other States. Large numbers of "turk heels" who now live in other States depend largely on their race paper for news from "down home." Owing to the close correspondence of the opposite side, the headlines to any or all happenings among colored people of a discreditable tendency, this writer deems it proper to cronically only the happenings among colored people that show merit. We pride impel me to adopt this course. Dr. A. J. Strong, vice-president of Brown's Savings Bank, Norfolk, Va., and Dr. Byers were visitors in the cemetery. Mr. R. B. Green, white, local agent in this city for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, informed the writer that his company paid the late Mr. L. M. Checks' widow $10,025, of policy he carried in this company, and that he late Mr. L. M. Check had allowed his policy to lapse, but through his (the agent's) persuasion it was renewed, and in less than thirty days from the time the policy was renewed, Mr. Check had accepted it, and say that Mr. Green, the local agent here for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, is an exception among the many white local agents here doing insurance business among the elderly. That is the reason attentive to business, and is well liked by numbers of his colored patrons. Negroes make no mistake when they insert money in life insurance. In the absence of law, the reason for the order is to afford sitting room morning and afternoon session are held. A move is being made to call an election for the purpose of voting a bond to raise the necessary money to build house capacity among the schoolchildren of the school institution. It is in order for the colored citizens to get together and have a definite arrangement as to how much of the money voted for will be spent on buildings to be used for colored schools to be shown this out as a hint to the wise ones. All the churches in the city held Easter services, and the floral decorations were beautiful. The day was all sunshine and warm. Healful gowns were worn, evidence to the delight of the male population. The First Baptist church choir, recognized as one of the leading choirs in the city, will render a sacred cantata bearing on the resurrection of the Messiah Sunday night at the Morgon streets. The choir will be augmented by members of St. Paul A. M. E. church choir and others. Our Risen Lord" is the title of the church Lord is written by Ira Wilson, one of the leading song writers of the twentieth century, and the music is replete with beautiful choruses. John W. Moseley, leader of the colony, is director of community sing, is director of this choir, and John H. Barrett is organist. The exercise will begin at 8 o'clock. The public at large is invited to be present. PROGRESSIVE IN EVERY RESPECT PRICE FIVE CENTS GEORGIA PROGRAM is Anne Ave. ent Quarters Business and Professional Men Combine to Insure Sno- cess of Movement DR. BYRD PRIME FACTOR 23 Rooms in Home to Furnish Ample Space for Each Department By J. A. G. InVallo Along with the other changes that the taking place in the adjudication and is given the courts in the commercial business League has been designed to name to the Negro Chamber of Commerce. After a year, in the spirit of service is being received and for the past few months, working quietly, but, because the chamber of commerce has worked out an extensive program that comprises the whole community for the good of our group. The organization has about two hundred members. Byrd is the prime factor in this new effort and with the committee of prominent business and professional men that have been working with him, has outlined a program that covers every phase of Community Service combined with Chamber of Commerce. They have secured the co-operation of the city management for a health and social program. The business men are to carry out a thrift program, Loishe Hogan on Princess Loishe Hogan on the combined department of the Marion departments. The Negro Chamber of Commerce is fitting up three rooms for their department; the health and sanitation department will have rooms for their department; the national department will have rooms for their work, and the social recreational and moral departments will have their department headquarters. There are 23 rooms in the building, will furnish ample space for each department to separate and distinct. THE INMAN SHARP OUTLINE There will be an supervisor or director. He will have direct charge of the Chamber of Commerce work and the supervision of all the other departments. The Chamber will devote its efforts to inspiring thrift among our people. Civic pride will be promoted. Clean up yards, etc. Savings accounts in the banks, purchasing of building and loan shares, and building of homes will be encouraged. In the health department a prenatal clinic maintained; a school of instruction established; the institution and a tuberculosis survey of the city of Norfolk and environs will be made. Access will be hud to the High School grounds for a part of the recreational program with another lot nearby. A speakers bureau will be maintained with the moral program and an employment bureau will be maintained. Therefore, this is some program and one that covers nearly every phase of community service; a service that is provided to the community folk, but throughout the South. Make the South safe for the Negro, should be the slogan of every Negro organization in this country, and programs of this nature where co-operation of the city authorities has been secured we mean much toward its accomplishment. Do. Dr. Norfolk desire the co-operation of every citizen of Norfolk in putting this big program over. GHALLENGE KU KLUX TO SHOW CARDS New York City.

E. church, under the pastorate of Rev. W. C. Cleland, was the sacred curtate rendered Easter Sunday evening. Mr. Thomas A. Rivera, the efficient and faithful organist, felt that the Easter season should not pass without something meritorious being done by organization, the church determined that the choir should share with him this thought and service. Through many weeks of hard work, searching out, testing and training, he formed a choir of thirty voices with whom he labored unceasingly until the cantata "Penitence, Pardon and Peace," by J. H. Maunder, was in excellent condition to be given in the presence of the great crowd that filled the church. In the presence of Joseph A. M. E. church long before the scheduled hour for beginning the rendition. The Easter spirit seemed to hold every member of the choir and of the vast audience completely, to such an extent that the rendition in addition to being a monument to the musical tenque and harmony-getting ability of Rivera carried to all a wonderful spirituine trent. It was a solemn and full service of the music of which shall never die. In the dual roles of organist and director-trainer, Mr. Rivera has proved himself to be in a class to which but few belong and of which we consider him "head" because of the untoward condition out of which he wrought this marvelous work. St. Joseph, her pastor, membership and friends are proud of their organist. He is unassuming, faithful and generous, and that becomes a benediction with his every touch of the ivory keys. With such excellent help and spirit of coneation St. Joseph must win. BUCKHORN, VA.

The tobacco market closed here on the 18th inst. The prices were low through out the selling season. The next battle to be fought should be one against the high cost of living, wages are being rapidly reduced but the high cost of living tumbles very slowly. Uncle Sam is beginning to move on the Army of Moonshiners a prisoner and his outfit is occasionally brought in.

The above is from an editorial in the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch commenting upon the reported intentions of the Republican party organization in Virginia to put a full State ticket into the field for the next election. The veiled reference is to the colored vote. Some years ago the Democratic government of Virginia amended the State constitution in such a way as to disfranchise the colored vote. Following such action the white leaders of the Republican party drew off to themselves and formed what is known as a "ily-white" Republican party organization. The Democrats are still in complete control of the government and election machinery of the State and the "ily-wites" are still in control of the Republican party machinery and have the car of the national Republican organization. They have acquiesced completely in the action of the Democrat in disfranchising the colored vote. Their acquiescence has been upheld apparently by the national Republican organization. The "ily-white" Republican organization is not making any more bid for the colored vote than the Democrats are making, which the Ledger-Dispatch and other well-informed newspapers of the State know. The Republican party organization in the State as at present constituted takes the position that the colored man who is able to vote today in spite of the restrictions placed upon him by the Democratic election machinery is an intelligent and discerning voter and is a free agent, just as liable to vote the Democratic or the Socialist ticket to vote the Republican ticket. Such is the truth so far as the present qualified colored electorate of Virginia is concerned. In the spring municipal election in Norfolk last year the majority of the colored voters of the city voted by choice for a certain life-long Democrat who was a candidate for the city council. In Richmond City Treasurer Face, a Democrat, owes his last election to the colored vote. The colored men and women who are qualified to vote in Virginia now are intelligent, self-respecting, patriotic, good citizens, and they are weary of being slurred and scandalized and used as the political scapegut of the Democratic press and certain Democratic politicians. We fail to see the good sense or propriety in raising the race issue in an odious sense every time the Republican organization in the State shows signs of activity. There is nothing else that the Republicans could do, that they have not already done, to eliminate the race issue from State politics, except to hold a so-called "white primary" as the Democrats do, and it is apparent that a great many good, life-long Democrats are disgusted with the primary Of course white people are going to rule in Virginia. Brains and wealth and power have always ruled wherever they had a majority. It is a very credulous editor or politician indeed that acts upon the presumption that it is going to be otherwise. Any allusions therefore to the so-called foisting of Negro rule upon the State of Virginia by the Republican party, are mischievous inventions that mislead the Democratic masses into blindly following a party tradition that is obsolete and useless, all the while doing a grave injustice to a very loyal, self-respecting, patriotic and industrially important element of the population All of the bad feeling and suspicion regarding the connection of the colored citizenry of Virginia with the politics of the State are based upon misunderstanding, and we cannot think of a better analysis of the situation that the article in the April issue of The Southern Workman, by Dr. James E. Gregg, entitled, "The Penalty of Misunderstanding," which we quote: "In the larger and more public relationships of life, as well as the actual prevalence of misunderstanding in different There is misapprehension, lack of acquaintance, lack of sympathy, suspicion, and so finally bad feeling, between different groups and the public society. The recting minds of the great corporations hold aloof from the directing minds of the labor unions—despise them, distrust them, dislike them, frequently refuse to give credit for honoring processes. This attitude and feeling are cordially reciprocated. "In like manner, a certain type of old-fashioned Northerners fall, and a certain type of point of view of a certain type of old-fashioned Southerners; and a certain type of heart, spirit, feel, apart, and stage apart, lack of mutual comprehension. "Quite as striking are the deep gulfs of ignorance and prejudice that separate the Roman Catholic from the Protestant, the Methodist from the Unitarian, the Quaker, the Episcopalian, and the Catholic. It has been justly remarked that a modern pugan might exclaim, surveying the present condition of the Church Universal: "Behold, the Church man misunderstand one another!" "Worst of all, we now have all of Europe, most of Asia and Africa, and much of America in affliction," the insane fears, the comical obsies, the wicked contempt, the cruel carelessness of one's neighbor and one's brother in Christ, which war brings, and which, unhappy, 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, the world will not keep peace long, only upon acquaintance and understanding and mutual confidence and mutual respect. We have the lesson to believe that, in spite of our differences, making ourselves comprehended by our fellow-men, there are two Christian virtues which do help us win, which usually win the victory in the end—sincerity and courage." THE JITNEYS ON CHURCH ST If the colored jitneys have to yield their right to operate on Church street as the city manager has recommended to council a great hardship will be imposed upon the jitney owners as well as thousands of the people whom they serve. For the past two years it has been plainly apparent that the street car service on Church street has not been adequate to meet the needs of the people living adjacent to it and having to use that thoroughfare. A queer and rather unusual phase of the jitney question is the protest made by merchants on upper Church street against the use of the street by the jitneys. It is in strange contrast to what the Granby street merchants did when street curt, jitney and automobile raffic was curtailed on that street. It is true that the very people who patronize the Church street jitneys are the ones who make up ninety-nie per cent of the trade of the upper Church street merchants. The merchants have done something that the Granby street merchants would not have dared to do. Will they rescend their action, or will it be allowed to stand? MAN HUNTING SHOULD BE The responsible people of Virginia can afford to frown down the manhunting business such as characterized the search for the two Negroes alleged to have made an attempt to attack a young white woman, near Richmond, in the week of March 10th. Many persons were taken in the drag net but the young woman was not able to recognize any of them an her assailant, and many homes were entered and searched, presumably without the proper warrant to do so. The Afro-Americans of the entire country about Richmond felt that they were threatened with visitation and arrest, and were distrubed in their usual occupation by it. The use of the bloodbounds with an army of officers and civilians added confusion to the terror. The responsible people of Virginia can afford to trown upon this man hunt business, which extends to all of the Afro-Americans in a given district where there has been a crime committed, or attempted. The right to enter the home of people by wholesale and without warrant, and often when it is reasonably certain that the people subjected to such high handed business are in no wise concerned with the alleged crime, or attempted crime, is highly repreensible and demoralizing to the last degree. It distorts the orderly conditions of all of the people of the district affected, and works general injury to the judicial temper of all of the people. There can be no crime committed in the State of Virginia which the lawful authorities cannot manage without the volunteer service of all the whites in a given situation, and without the terrorization of all of the colord persons in the same situation. There can be no dispute about this, without discrediting the efficiency of the county and municipal authorities, and the white mob does that upon the slightest provocation. Respect for law and law enforcement is bound to suffer when such a condition is allowed to flourish. The responsible people of Virginia, who have the making and enforcing of the laws in their hands, cannot afford that. There is too much man hunting in all sections of the South. It is making a by-word and a hissing of law and legal procedure. The whole people of Virginia cannot afford that. "THE BACKGROUND" SCROLS WE ARE MAKING GOOD Dr. James D. Dillard, President of the Jeanes and Slater Boards and a member of the General Education Board, in a recent address at Atlantic City on "The Negro in Rural Education and Country Life," delivered before a section of the National Education Association, made a strong plea for the "background" schools, those which must teach and encourage people to cultivate a garden, to cook stuff, to keep the rooms clean, to trim the kerosene lamps, and to mend windows and clothes, and he added: "It is the purpose of the Jeanes Fund to assist the country teachers in all work of this kind. The supervising, teacher, from Fisk or Hampton or Tuskegee or some other good school, makes the round of the one-room schools of the county to encourage and help working out in the background. Eight years ago only $6255 was spent for this work out of the public tax funds. In the present session the counties are paying which is more by $28,000 than is made outside. The workers whose salaries were paid in part through the Jeanes Fund raised last year among the colored people for var. $335,482. Of it school improvement that there are now a number of counties which are carrying on the work without any contributions through the Jeanes Fund, is the best evidence of the value and growth of the work. This is the consummation to be desired." Dr. Dillard declared that the county superintendents are beginning to see the need of having in their counties at least one good graded school. In 1904 there were only four such schools; now, there are 142, with 883 teachers, "and the counties are appropriating for establishment and support over half million dollars." Dr. Dillard also showed the good benefits of the Julius Rosenwald's new school building fund in the country districts, to which he has contributed so very generously. It is expected there will have been built 220 such school houses from September 1, 1920, to January 31, 1921, at a cost of $1,071,036, to which the colored people themselves will have contributed $311,432. Again: The "amount appropriated to the higher State colored institutions for the present year is $1,267,170. The total amount for public education for colored children in seven of the Southern States for the session of 1919-20 was $9,171,00 almost double the amount of eight years ago." The interest in the education of the Afro-Americans in the "background" schools, in the country districts, it is thus shown, is gaining in strength among the splendid organizations and the State authorities who have the matter in hand, and the interest, having been so greatly stimulated, should steadily grow. The whole citizenship is bound to be benefited by the new spirit manifested in the educational program of the Southern States for more school appropriations and more and better education of all of the people, which was so elegantly set forth by Dr. P. P. Claxton, the Federal Commissioner of Education, in his swing around the Southern States early in the past winter. TROUBLES OF LIBERIA Our sympathies are naturally with both Liberia and Haiti in their efforts to become self-sustaining governments. In these efforts, however, neither country has gone about the matter in the way to succeed. The resources of Liberia are of the most varied and valuable character, and the development of them should have been the primary purpose of the government, from its establishment, together with the development of close and brotherly relations with the native people. But the America-Liberima did not do anything of the sort. They neglected the development of the resources of the country, for which they should have been able to get all the credit they needed with any tangible developments to show for it, and they have systematically made enemies instead of friends of the natives. The President of Liberia, and other officers of the government, are in this country for the purpose of getting a revision of the Constitution of the country which they allowed Franklin D. Roosevelt, as the assistant secretary of the Navy under the Wilson administration, to write for them, and to secure the loan of $5,000,000 promised them by the Wilson Administration. We will not say that Liberia should not have a revision of its constitution, but we will say that it should be made by and with the consent of their own people, in a convention made up of their own people. Any other constitution would not be their constitution at all. As to the loan, we will not say that it should not be granted, but there is nothing in the past history of Liberia to show that it would not be squandered and the interest and principal be defaulted. That is to say, it does not look to us as if the responsible rulers of Liberia are capable of handling successfully the big job they have. So far they have not done it. If they secure the loan the United States will collect and disburse the revenues of the country. There, is also a distinguished commission in this country, from Haiti, seeking to get a modification of the constitution Mr. Roosevelt wrote for them, the proud Haitians, and which they accepted. Why? Because they could not help themselves. They had made government a failure since their independence by one revolution after another, and by foreign loans heaped high on which neither interest nor principal had been paid for a long time, and which their foreign creditors insisted should be safeguarded and paid. And that is the route by which the United States became the Fiscal Agent of Haiti; that is, the collector and disburder of the revenues of the Republic. That is how the salaries of the President and other officials of the Haitian government were not paid last Summer, because they refused to do as the American Minister and his Cahooter, the American Fiscal Agent, wanted them to do. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE If they had attended to their own affairs of government and spent the revenues of the country for the benefit of the country, they would not have got in a snarl with their foreign creditors and lost their independence, for a season, at least. This is the truth about the troubles of Liberia and that it does not make pleasant reading, but we shall not understand why the representatives of the two countries are here unless we understand the truth of the matter. H. O. FLIPPER We are glad that Former Senator Albert B. Fall, of New Mexico, Secretary of the Interior in President Harding's Cabinet, has deemed it good to appoint Lienk. Henry O. Flipper of Georgia to be a special assistant secretary of the Interior Deputy Funny, too, that Secretary Fall is the only Southern man in the Cabinet, as we understand, but he went to New Mexico in his youth and grew up with the country. Licut. Flipper graduated from the National Military Academy, at West Point, a great many years ago, and was placed in native service. His brother officers did all they could to prevent him from graduating, and after he had done so, they did all they could to discredit him in the service, so that he might be disqualified. In this latter dirty business they were finally successful. We followed the evidence closely at the time and we could never see that it was sufficient to justify the verdict. It reflected the prejudices of the Army clique, which had decreed that no Afro-American should graduate from the Military Academy and command troops. Time has smashed that prejudice, however, as it has many another. Mr. Flipper, who is a brother of Bishop J. Flipper, never returned to Georgia to live, and far spent his time in Mexico and the far: western Sates, where he found plenty and profitable work as a specialist in the Spanish language and in civil engineering. We are glad that Lieut. Flipper has run the length of his bad luck and that he has now recognition in Government service which he is entitled to on his merits and as some reparation done him, by the court of cuquiry and the refusal of Congress repeatedly to right the wrong. ANTI-LYNCHING LAW NECESSARY The wave of lynching lawlessness, which holds the Southern States in the palm of the hand, and which has grown in violence and the territory embraced since the inauguration of President Harding, appears to be the answer which the white South is making to the threat that such an Anti-Lynching law would be demanded of Congress by the responsible agencies representing the interests of the race. They say, in effect, "We are a law unto ourselves. Fetch on your Anti-Lynching law if you dare." It is up to us to accept the dare and get the Anti-Lynching legislation, if we can. If the States will not give us the protection of our lives and property it is our duty to demand that the Federal Government do it, as we are citizens of the United States first and then citizens of the State in which we reside. We must exhaust all of the guaranties in the Federal Constitution to secure proper and adequate protection for our lives and property. "THE BLACK MAN'S BURDEN" By T. THOMAS FORTUNE The following poem will appear in the April number of The Negro Outlook, a monthly magazine published at Memphis, Tenn. From the Amazon to the Nile? What will the Burden of Ye Gentile upraise? What will the Burden of Ye Gentile upraise? Who crush and rob your brother Of his manhood and his right? What is the Black Man's Burden, Westward to Eastward Ind, Burden? He got them in the darkness— He shuns them in the light— The children of "the first fruits" "the first fruits" peril! The Lord-Master shall peril! White Christians of the Nations, Ye slumber in the light, But the Father of us all Shall rise in night! The God, who rises the Nations. "O. Hypocrites and vile!" Shall search ye as serpents And blast ye in your guile. What is the Black Man's Burden Westward to Eastward Ind, But Japheth's help pledges— Faithless Master of his kind? But now, the even cometh; And all the Christian Nations Are rived with dread and fear. In The Same Issue And By The Same Author An Article Will Appear On "The Jew As The World's Enigmat" Teachers Us That Business Success Is Power MAKE THE SOUTH SAFE Six years ago the South was gravely disturbed by the emigration of New York and Philadelphia Middle West where the defection of local labor to growing war industries and created a demand for unskilled workers was not at that time prepared to pay. The hegira of 1914-15 was easily explained. The ancient attachment of the Negro for the South was not all the same as for the Negro's natural timidity—his unwillingness to leave haunts he knew well for pastures of which he knew little. His low educational average and his lack of knowledge in sections of the country, made for insularity and inertia. With the growth of Negro schools and colleges and with the development of an alert Negro school, the Negro's Southern Negro gave way to a growing curiosity concerning other sections and other cities. The change in outlook was well under way when the Negro was in the circumstances in these circumstances for labor agents to mobilize whole regiments of workingmen and whisk them across State boundaries. It is true that the Negro was more or less disillusioned. But thousands remained. The northward movement of Southern unskilled labor in the opening years of the war is the history of the Southern Negro. What the consequences of that movement may be to the South from which the North which resembled, and to the North which resembled, is a subject that invites sound study. That the movement of Negro labor northward, if it continues, will produce economic complications is clear. The Northwest. The Commerce complains already that its unemployment problem is being gravely complicated by the influx of Southwest Negroes. It appeals to the Norfolk Negroes. It appeals to the Norfolk service and assistance in stopping this movement. The Norfolk chamber, it is reported, is considering the advisa- tion of educational campaign designed to bring about Southern Negroes the advantage of residence in the South because of climate, employment and general living conditions. The Negro is to be invited to contemplate the advantages of staying at home. There is considerable liability of error in rash generalizations on the extent of Negro emigration. An amount of immigration that Omaha may difficult to absorb when its labor market is weak, may prove no embrassment at all, and no emotions become again normal. The pertinent point is that Negro working-men are departing from the South—that if the movement is marked when conditions in the North and West are favorable, may be expected to become still more when the unfavorable employment situation is correct. It is worth seriously examining an economic movement that threatens, if permitted to ungoacken, seriously to denude the South and to embarrass it when the business pendulum swings back to prosperity and production. A practical suggestion in the study of this problem is offered in a communication from the Virginia-Pilot from J. H. Snelling to the school's first step towards checking the Northern movement of Southern Negroes, he suggests: Make the South safe for the Negro. Endeavor to find out from the Negroes that have left for Northern cities, or that have reached them, that localities they come and for whom they are. If any of these Negroes are from such localities as are constantly lynching them of ku-klu-klu, then, make an endeavor to punish them, said locality for such lawlessness by "endearer" is meant an "honest to goodness" endeavor that will kill them. Instead of wondering amply why workmen are leaving the South for sections where economic conditions are no better, it would be profitable to make conditions in the Southern communities that they are departing need correcting. One has only to scan the news dispatches of the past two months to determine a suspicion that at the bottom of some organization is a ghastly succession of lynchings that makes a mockery of justice. The South has need of the respectable Negro and the latter has need of the white. The South has a South purged of burnings at peonage and mob murder. There must be a ruthless stamping out of the shameful and criminal practice of black man accused of a crime and murder before he is found guilty in a court of justice.—Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. Honor New York City, March 19.—The committee of award of the Spingarn medal which is awarded to the man or woman of honor, scent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any endeavor, announces the person she man, Bishop John Hurst, that it invites recommendations for the award of the Spingarn medal for 1920. The recourse of the committee requests, should contain the qualifications to the qualifications of the person nominated for the medal with a specific account of the achievement or the opinion of the person who nominated could entitle the nominees to the award. Recommendations are to be sent by April 1st to Bishop John Hurst, chair of the committee of award of the Spingarum Room 621, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. BUSINESS BREVITIES BUSINESS BREVITIES Sell the right goods, at the right price, in the right spirit and all the forces for good in the universe will be pulling for you. They believed in mindings their own business they would put their minds to it. But if they did that, they would have so much business that they would be compelled to call in others to help them mind it. A REVIEW OF THE QUARTER Since Friday was the First day of April and the beginning of the second quarter of the year, a review of the first quarter is in order with a prospective outlook as based on the past three months. The small business situation has changed sufficiently to become noticeable. The tendency in the commodities market is toward a lower level and this will ultimately make for the establishment of prices on a plane substantially under that which now exists. The tendency is now toward a resumption of activities in commercial lines rather than toward a further slackening. In the Middle West the movement of grain to market has continued at a moderate rate. Receipt of cattle has been moderate which has helped to maintain prices. Hogs show little change. Cotton has been weak and during March, reached a lower level than at any time since 1915. Natural cotton growing is not cheerful but trade rules have about reached normal and prices are more firm. The industrial situation for the quarter has been mixed. The news from day to day has told of plants closing or laying off men while others have opened or put on more men. However, the latter has exceeded the former and employment is looking better. Possibly one of the factors of greatest concern is the steady liquidation of distressed credit. Back in October, it was estimated that the amount of credit that would come under this classification was about $300,000,000.00. A month ago this had been reduced to 75,000,000, and during March the reduction has amounted to $25,000,000, thereby reducing the amount to $50,000,000. This shows conclusively that the foundation will ultimately be established for the return to normal trade and trade foreign tangle continues, its direct impact this country, Germany's trying to get away from the ruling on repatriation is a bit disturbing. The cable dispatches of the last few days have brought news of the possibility of opening trade relations with the Soviet Government of Russia, and this will probably make for a solution of some of the pressing problems here. Some classification of the railroad problem is to be expected from the investigation that has been started in Washington to determine the cause of railroad difficulties. The technical position of the stock market at this time would presuppose that the market is in a state of high indications point to a rising market that is forecasting a return of normal business about August or September. Building permits and bank clearing denote improvement in business and the outlook for this quarter is far brighter and more encouraging the first quarter. There is an angle by which the future may be viewed; a rift in the clouds is evident thru which the sun is shining. MODERN DOLL WORK OF ART Children of the Long Ago Were Satisfied With Very Ordinary Counterfeits of Nature. It is interesting to contrast the plump, really truly looking American of today with the crude, legless, long-necked dolls with which the little Egyptian dolls used to play. These Egyptian dolls had wooden hair and funny long arms that reached almost to the knees and they never had any feet at all, says the Boston Post. For clothes all there ever was for them to wear was just a strip of cotton cloth wound round and round their bodies like a bandage. Worse than that, the poor little Mohammedan had to play with headless dolls because thelings of their religion would not allow of any imitation of the human figure. Biblical children, Esther and Ruth, probably played with wooden dolls very much like the Egyptian dolls, never a bit more beautiful. Queen Elizabeth had a doll made of wood. It was said to be 250 years old and came into her possession and since she died it has never been located. Dolls began to get better about that period and Mary Queen of Scots owned a collection of dolls that would move their arms and legs, they being operated with springs. As early as 1413 came dolls with voices that would squeak. Wigs came in 1820 and walking dolls in 1825, but they were all queer and unlovable compared to the delightful "mamma-"papa" talking; walking, winky-eyed, real curly-haired dolls that the little American girl can have for her very own children. JUNGLE MONARCH "BIG GAME" Tiger Can Always Be Relled On to Furnish Sport for the Most Adventurous Hunter. The tiger is one variety of game which is in no danger of extermination. Tigers have been hunted for centuries. They furnished sport to the ancient Romans, both in the arena where they faced the gladiators and in the field. Before that, they were the game of Great Egyptian nonarchs. It is doubtful whether primitive man was able to kill the tiger at all. Today tigers are comparatively easy game for the wealthy sportsman who hunt them with the great double-barreled English rifles carrying express bullets. A great crowd of beaches usually assists at the sport, and drives the tiger into the open, though occasionally heals killed by watching at the carcass of an animal he has killed. Occasionally a tiger kills a hunter, but not often. In India and also in Korea many unarmed and unharmed tigers ever year. In the war between men and tigers it is hard to say which is winning. Tigers are found in almost all parts of the continent of Asia, from the tropical jungles of India to the almost acre heights of the mountains in Siberia and northern Chim. Beauty Contest in Africa. The Africa and Orient Review, a South African newspaper, has started a beauty contest for dusky belts and already 300 entries have been received for the competition. The editor, Mr Mohamed All, thus describes the negress face: "The eyes," he said, "should have the African expression, a soft, appealing look—an intangible dreaminess, never seen in Europen eyes. The nose should be semi-aquine, slightly squint at the bridge, and the lips somewhat thicker than those of the average European, a characteristic which I think gives solidity to the expression. The hair should, of course, be curly. Photographs of competitions for reproduced articles and the readers of the journal will be asked to vote for the photograph they consider the most beautiful, the lady receiving the greatest number of votes to be given $000. The second prize is $250 and the third a watch bracelet. World's Longest Car Ferry World's Longest Car Ferry. The new railway ferry line, which is being planned to run between England and Sweden, will be the longest in the world. A tremendous ferry engine furnishing about 12,000 horses, herds and cattle will between the two countries travel upon its huge decks freight trains cars in length. Besides this there will be provisions for taking travellers from the first to the fourth class, together with dining rooms, promenades and other agreeable features. The journey requires 33 hours. After arriving on land the freight train at once proceeds upon the English or Swedish tracks, as the case may be. It is obvious that a tremendous saving both in time and in labor can be thus accomplished. New Pictures by Denise "Very interesting and vory, important," is the way Marconi recently expressed himself regarding the transmission of photographs by radio. It appears that several systems of this kind are being worked out at present, have not followed the experiments, and are still done" continued Marconi. "Pictures telegraph wires several years ago, and what can be done by wire can be done by wireless. It will be of great interest to watch the progress made. The two chief uses to which the discovery can be put are the quick transmission of photographs for newspaper of his purposes." *Scientific American.* --- HEROISM SHOWN BY AMERICAN WORKERS OF NEAR EAST RELIEF Thousands Starving. BY CHARLES V. VICKREY General Secretary, Near East Relief Approximately 500 American men and women are standing loyalty and heroically at their posts in Armenia, Turkey and the Near East where of them during the long winter of isolation what we in America call "hardship." But these, Charles V. Vickrey our fellow citizens Approximately 500 American men and women are standing loyally and heroically at their posts in Armenia, Turkey and the Near East. Many of them during the long winter of isolation are undergoing what we in America call "hardship." But these, Charles V. Vickrey, selfless citizens in the New York area are volunteers serving with a high purpose, and they do not recognize hardship when they meet it. They have had their opportunity to withdraw with honor from the field of famine and desolation. They have refused to leave, because they know that their departure would mean death for tens of thousands of women and children whom their efforts have kept them from them are determined to save for a better future. A dozen cabins are on my desk from various centers in Armenia, Anatolia, Cilicia and Syria, sitting pituously for the lives of hundreds of who are homeless: "Sixty-five thousand refugees Constantinople alone": "Refugees flocking into. Aleppo": "Twenty thousand refugees at Amfil": "One hundred thousand people at Alexandropil will starve unless relief is in need": "Refugees arriving from Cincinnati escaping persecution, naked, destitute! Ursula need to save most of them from death": "Two hundred thousand starving between Kars and Alexandropil." Severe wounds adding to distress." Above all towers the mute appeal of the more than 100,000 little children, orphaned, homeless, whom these American relief workers have saved and whom we here at home must sustain not only through the winter and spring, but through the summer and autumn as well. If we do not provide, they perish! And with them dies the hope of a New Near East. The Easter season is here—the season that commemorates the Great Sacrifice for mankind. America is known as a Christian nation. She is also the wealthiest nation that history has ever known. We are really enjoy our wealth and claim the name of Christian if we turn a dear eat to the apples which General Leonard Wood, in behalf of the Near East Relief, has sent forth broadcast for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save these little children in Bible School.

Filivva Alajance From time to time a photograph appears, depicting a new airplane of compact dimensions and equipped with a low-power engine. Such airplanes are generally called as "everybody's" airplane and the coming "flivers" of the air. Yet an examination of these machines soon discloses the fact that they are of little practical value. They are too small to be steady in flight, too low-powered to fly under moderately adverse conditions, too filmy to last long and, taking it all in all, absolutely worthless for serious work of any kind. They should generally be treated as novelties, except in rare instances.—Scientific American. Bill Carris vigorously applied the old stubby brush broom to his well-worn suit, then stopped for a moment to gaze out across the great green fields. For 16 years, weather permitting, Bill had watched and loved this time of day, when the sun was casting its last staining rays. Tonight he was leaving the home he loved so well and the man who had shared his home and with whom he had worked for 16 years. That was the hard part of going. Something that looked suspiciously like tears welled up in his honest blue eyes, and he gazed for a minute at the man at the sink, doing up the supper dishes. As a rule this man was inklative, but tonight he was strangely silent. The arduous task of making an old suit look something like new was finally completed and Bill stepped out on the little platform that served as a plaza. He looked sadly at the two empty arm chairs. "I at the end of two days' journey "I will be with Marcia again," and once more he could see the little white clind figure as he left her that last evening. Again he could hear the soft sobbing as she begged him not to be away long, and Bill held her close as he whispered: "When I have made the little fortune I have dreamed of, then I will come back to you. And when I do come back, Marcia, it will be in illa-time, just like it is today." The first few weeks had been unbearable to Bill; then as the months and years passed he fell into that rut of being perfectly satisfied with working hard all day and spending the long evenings with his faithful companion and his pipe. His little pile of money grew bigger each year until he at last decided it was time to go back to the old home and Marina. His heart beat faster as he pictured the little vision in white, and he sighed happily as he again entered the little cottage. But his spirits drooped when he beheld Jim, sitting with his head resting in his two hands, a picture of despair. Going over, he placed his hand on Jim's shoulder and said: "We've spent some very happy years here, old scout, but now I must be going back to Marlin. I wish you could see her, Jim—so small, with wavy tresses and—" "Yes, but 16 years makes an awful difference, old man," Jim answered. At last the time came when the comrades parted. Jim drove Bill over the two miles to the railroad station, and they silently pressed each other's hand, for neither could speak just then. Jim drove back to the lonely cottage, sent himself in his arm chair beside the vacant one, and when the big full moon arose its beams fell on one lonely figure, and an empty chair. In the meantime the train sped on towards Bill's old home and Marcia. His journey ended at noon two days later, but as Bill felt terribly romantic, he waited until the sun was setting, then Marcia must see him first by the illic bush near her door. As he neared the house he wished he had kept corresponding all these years; but then, he felt sure Marcia loved him enough to watch and wait for him even though it was sixteen years. He was almost at the gate when a sudden fear took possession of him. Things did not look just right. What if Marcia had gone away, or had died; but no, he must put such thoughts away. At the gate a piercing screen reached his ear—just as he was by the lilac tree, where Marcia must see him first—and two dirty-faced boys came rushing around the corner of the house, the larger one finally overtaking the other, and they immediately started a fist fight. The door of the house opened quickly, and a woman, one who would casly tip the scales at two hundred, appeared in a soiled gingham dress, sleeves rolled to her elbows, exhibiting a pair of fat red arms thickly covered with white suds, and the equally red face placed plainly she had just emerged from the family washub. Bill rubbed his eyes and looked again. There might just have been an ordinary double chin attached to that face, but Bill could swear he saw four. He also noticed the thin, half gray locks, twisted into a little hard knot at the back of her head, Crushing the innocent illic where he had a few moments before so romantically placed his hand, he stepped back a little farther. There was no mistaking. The eyes proved it was Marcia, and if there was the least bit of doubt left in his mind, it disappeared when a man in overall brushed past him and called out, "Hurry up and get my dinner, Marcia." And Marcia was just starting back for the kitchen when she espied the man by the illic bush. Raising her voice, she called out loudly: "Get away from them illacs or I'll call the dog." Three days later Bill turned the corner of his own little cottage, and peeking through the window, beheld Jim in the act of setting one single place at the table. "Set it for two, old man," Bill sang out cheerily. "And Jim, when you said a lot could happen in 16 years, you said something." Invest $5.00 per month in South Oakwood lots, and become independent.

HAVE BRIEF SPAN OF LIFE Mest Placer Mining Camps Flourish for a Little While and Then Pass Into Oblivion. Exceptions to the rule governing mining camps, hectic activity and quick decay, are Helena, site of a one-time noted placer camp, and the fine city of Denver, where, in the summer of 1853, James H. Pierce panned out a little gold from a sandbar near the mouth of Cherry creek, a discovery that fired the expectations of thousands and startled the historic rush to Pike's peak country. The fine and progressive city of Lewiston, Idaho, is another exception to the rule of oblivion that has been the almost unfailing fate of placer camps. While, strictly speaking, Lewiston was not a placer camp, but the outfitting point, at the head of steamboat navigation, for the stumped into the clear-water region, in the early '00s, it was a placer camp in other respects, and in the wild spirit of early-day gold hunting. With the sailing away of the steamship Victoria, bearing 350 Nome residents, most of whom announced their purpose never to return, the brooding spirit of melancholy came in with the long, long winter. Again the "wolf howl is heard on Ounnhaska's lonely shore," and the little remnant of population is left with memories and disappointed hopes. Yet a few will cling to the deserted beach to the last breath of life, for such is the unfailing record of every famous camp, to live over again in memory, through the long arctic nights, the stirring scenes of 20 years ago.—Spokane Spokesman-Review. EFFECT OF MIND ON BODY Worry, Doubt, Fear and Apprehension Make the Physical Organism Susceptible to Disease. Since all of the cells of the body are more or less intelligent and we think not only with the brain but with the entire physical organism, we can readily see that our thoughts and convictions must affect, according to their nature, all of these cells. We can think health into them or we can think disease. What have you been telling these little cell minds in your body, my friend? Have you been filling them with worry and anxiety regarding your health, with fear, with dread, with apprehension? Have you been filling them with doubts, with uncertainties, doubt of your ability, lack of faith, lack of self-confidence? When they are apparently sick, perhaps the victims of your negative thoughts, your discouraging moods, your despondency, are you going to think into them more despondency, more discouragement, more hopelessness, or are you going to stimulate them with hope, faith, confidence, expectancy of better things to come? Are you going to radiate health into them, optimism, joy?—Ortison Swett Murden, in Chicago Daily News. Holland's Day of State Although the Dutch are very democratic they still elic to the paganity that surrounds the movements of their queen on days of state. A case in point being the opening day of their parliament, which is quantitely ceremonious. The queen rides in a gilded carriage through the streets of 'The Hague to the old Knights' hall in Parliament square, and with crown on her head and her gold-braided prince consort at her side sits on the throne. At this ceremony the Dutch cabinet ministers are compelled by tradition to wear gildy uniforms resembling an old-time minister man in an admiral's hat. After this one day of pump the ministers and members of parliament put on their working clothes and get down to business, while the queen, who prides herself on being a typical Dutch woman with domestic tastes, lays her crown inside for another year. Just Where He Had Left It: Uncle Billy is getting old and absent-minded. One day Aunt Sally, his wife, noticed that he was roaming round from room to room. Presently he called to her from the kitchen, "Sally, have you seen my pipe?" "No, Billy," she answered. "Can't you find it?" "No, I can't!" he replied rather crossly. "I've looked upstairs and all over, and I can't find it." "Didn't you leave it in the bathroom?" asked Aunt Sally. "No, I didn't. I've looked there. Come and look yourself." As Aunt Sally laid down her paper she heard him laugh. "Have you found it, Bill?" she asked. "Yes," he replied. "It was in my mouth."—Youth's Companion. A Miner of Bullets F. H. Lamley, an ore specialist, is removing lend and copper-nickel from the bill back of the target range at Camp Lewis, near Tacoma, Wash. By means of a "jig" operated by water power, he shakes the heavy metal from the earth which he is excavating. In three months' time, he expects to get 100 tons of metal valued approximately at $200 a ton, and having cleaned up at Camp Lewis, he will take his apparatus to other camp cliffs. All of the metal he mines was shot into the hillside by the boys of Uncle Sam's army two years ago. Lamley works on a commission basis. "First man to mine a target range," says Lamley of himself.—Leslie's Weekly. GEN. LEONARD WOOD MAKES APPEAL FOR NEAR EAST RELIEF Says Two and a Half Million Starving Armenians Need Help at Once. Ft.

General Wood's Appeal As Chairman of a Special Committee of representative men and women of the country, charged with placing, before the American people the desperate need of two and a half million Armenians, the remnant of the oldest Christian nation, whose sufferings through sixteen centuries seem to have brought them no nearer peace, liberty or security. I beg your personal co-operation and influence to forward an appeal for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to enable the Near East Relief to go on with its work of mercy. Over one hundred thousand little children who have been kept alive by American generosity for the past three years are absolutely dependent upon the support which America gives them through the Near East Relief. I feel that however many and how ever worthy the other appeals which are being made to the great heart of America these days may be, this cry from the little children of the land where Christ gave his life for mankind cannot remain unanswered.
