From time immemorial, poets and philosophers have sanctified it and sung its praises. "The house of every one is to him as his castle and fortress, as well as his defense against injury and violence as for his repose." "OWN YOUR HOME" is now a magic slogan in Norfolk and everywhere. The rich and the poor, the high and the low, have joined in the admonition, which is to every man. Banks, Building and Loan associations, Insurance companies, capitalists and publicists have joined hands and purposes to make it possible and practical for every man that has the will and desire to own a home to attain his ideal. This is "Own Your Home" week. Next week will be "Own Your Home" week. Every week hereafter is "Own Your Home" week. The purpose is to drill into the consciences of the masses the advantages of home ownership. To stimulate thrift and saving, and to divert such savings into the buying of homes. This will have a two-fold effect. It will bring self-confidence and self-respect to many now discouraged with the prospect of remaining always a rent-payer and transient resident, and it will open avenues of employment to men in the building material and building trades occupations and thus hasten the return of normal prosperity. The way to HOME OWNERSHIP is easy. Just save a little each week or each pay-day until enough is accumulated to make the first payment on a lot or a house. When this is done there are many agencies that stand ready to provide a way to complete the purchase in payments equal to rent. If you have no definite idea as to how to start, see a building and loan association or a bank and ask for their plan. Any one of these institutions in Norfolk will gladly start you on the road to HOME ownership and happiness. VOL. XXI. NO. 18 EX-GO CREDIT IS NECESSARY FOR RACE'S FREEDOM Condomus Lynching and Cites His Own Record as Governor STRIKES AT KU KLUX Follow the Path that Leads to the White Man's Conscience By Wm. Anothony Aery Hampton, Va., April 19.—That the Negro is entitled to equal and exact justice before the law and that the white man must accord him that justice or be false to all Anglo-Saxon traditions was the opinion expressed by the Hon. Thomas W. Bickett, former governor of North Carolina, in his recent address delivered at the closing session of the fifty-third anniversary of Hampton Institute, over which Principal J. E. Gregg presided. Governor Bickett said: "Though only fifty-three years old, Hampton Institute has achieved the unique and noble distinction of becoming at once a fountain and shrine. From it are constantly flowing streams that make waste places glad, and from every quarter of the continent weary pilgrims come to Hampton Institute for a new birth of courage, faith and love. The Negro who has to get an order from a white man before he can buy a pack of meal or a side of meat is almost as much a slave as the man who had to get a permit before he could leave his master's land. The Negro as a race will not travel far until his credit in store or in bank is as good as that of the white man.

Va., April 18, - Submitting the county to a forfeiture of $5,000 for the benefit of the family of the person launched and making participation in a mob a felony punishable with death, both houses of the West Virginia legislature have approved the most stringent anti-lynch till thus far enacted by any of the States. H. J. Capchart, the colored member of the House of Delegates from McDowell county, drew and sponsored the measure in the lower branch, averting the most determined opposition to the democracy minority position which mandated it by proposing various minorities originally drawn, the bill provided for a forfeiture of $25,000 and made every county through which the mob might pass jointly and severally liable. To Raleigh, N. C., April 15. The announcement of Col. J. H. Young's death at his home in this city last Monday morning, April 11th at 8 o'clock, caused a pall of sorrow to creep over thousands of his friends living in this and adjoining States. All day Monday and Tuesday his widow received telegrams of condolence from many distinguished persons whose nequintance dated many years back. Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, N. C., wired the following: "Mrs. James H. Young, Raleigh, N. C. "The death of your good husband was a distinct loss to the State as well as his race. Please be assured of my sympathy. I valued his friendship. "Signed. JULIAN S. CARR." Many other messages from both white and colored people in different parts of the country were received, expressing their sorrow over the death of Col. Young. The deceased was born in Granville County, near Henderson, sixty-two years ago; attended the public schools of Granville county, and completed his literary training at Shaw university, receiving soon afterwards an appointment in the Internal Revenue department, which position he held for five years. He was elected and represented Wnke county in the State Legislature, and while there rendered valuable service as a law-maker. Col. Young was peculiarly fortunate, in that he has held public office from early manhood up the advent of President Woodrow Wilson, who caused his dismissal from his service. Aside from this he was Grandmother to the Grasshopper fraternity in this State and paid to widows and orphans nearly one hundred thousand dollars in death claims each year. He was elected president of the alumni asso- MANY MASS MEETINGS BEING HELD IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL MANY MASS MEETINGS BEING HELD IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL BY DANIEL W. CHASE JOURNAL AND GUIDE BUREAU P. O. BOX 1605 Washington, D. C. April 18th, The capital city has been alive with mass meetings in the interest of the drive for members for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the drive for members for the Young Men's Christian Association. Prominent speakers of both races have been called upon to deliver addresses, among them Rep- resentative Martin B. Madden, Illinois, who addressed the Y.M.C. A. pointing to the necessity for an increased membership. There are more than one thousand members of the local "Y", but the committee is desirous of increasing the membership 100 per cent. The mass meetings held under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have been very largely attended and very enthusiastic. At one of the meetings held in the Howard Theatre, Mr. F. Y. White, assistant secretary, spoke at considerable length on the conditions of health we were in the United States. Resolutions were passed appealing to Congress to make investigations of those conditions. At another big mass meeting held by the local branch, Hon. L. C.

The measure through the member from McBellwood had the able and active support of T. G. Nutter, Ikanwha county's colored delegate, and the legislative committee of the West Virginia State League, composed of all classes of Negro citizen, of which T. Edward Hill, of Keystone, is president, and J. C. Gilmer, of Charleston, secretary. Others assisted with petitions, while many of the State administration and other the fluential citizens among the whites, both men and women, contributed much to the passage of the bill. LATE COL.

He was three times married, and his only child, a daughter, was born to him by his first wife. His third wife, nee Miss Lula Evans, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas' Evans, of this city, became his wife eight years ago. Although many years his junior, they lived happily together and all through Col. plained his anti-lynching bill, and Neval H. Thomas in no uncertain terms made it plain to the Negroes what they must do to gain their full citizenship rights. Mary Church Torrell has been elected president of the district branch of Visiting Nurses, to have entire charge of the work among the colored people. Mrs. E. Otho Peters and Mrs. Milton Francis will assist Mrs. Torrell in putting other prominent colored women to work. The fifty-seventh anniversary of the Metropolitan Baptist church was started. The pastor, the Rev. W. D. Norman, who has been sixteen years at this church, preaching the opening sermon. The anniversary exercises will continue throughout the month, with sermons by visiting pastors. The work at this great churah was formerly started by the late Rev. Robert Dumson, who was a pioneer and did well in the neighborhood from what it was then known as "Hell's Bottom," to what is now termed "Paradise Hill." In 1886 this church had over 1200 members; its present membership is 5500. Appropriate exercises marked the fifthth anniversary of the Dunbar High School. Citizens high in official and business life attended the exercises and delivered addresses. Dunbar High School had its birth in the basement of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church, the first class graduating fewer than ten. There are now nearly 2,000 pupils in this high school.

The proposal to segregate colored passengers on railways, disregarded by its demonstration author under the deceptive title of "A bill to provide for the comfort of passengers," was before the committee just long enough to pass a motion indefinitely postponing its consideration. The full crew bill, designed to dispense with the services of colored railway porters, met a similar fate.

S. Brown preached the funeral sermon. The choir sang "Abide With Me," followed with a quartette by Fisk Jubilee Singers. Mayor Erdridge said: "I am very sorry over the death of Col. Jas. H. Young. The colored people as well as the white people have sustained a great service. I offered a voice when I had to deal with the colored people on matters in which their interest was concerned, and I always found him a safe counselor." Ex-Secretary of the U. S. Navy, Hon. Josephus Daniels, said in part: "I am here to pay homage to the late Col. James H. Young, whose remains lie before us and banked around with beautiful flowers, a token of love and esteem from his former friends. The deceased was for many years my neighbor in this city, and as such we were warm friends. Although we differed in politics, we respected each other's view point. Col. Young was a loyal citizen, devoted to the uplift of his race. His patriotism was without a fault. He organized a colored regiment in this State who volun- (Continued on page two.)

FUNERAL EULOGY TO COL. JAMES H. YOUNG By C. S. Brown, D. D., Winton, N. C. 2 Sam. 3:38—"Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel." 2 Tim. 4:7—"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Life is real! Life is earnest! "Dust thou art, dust returnest," Was not spoken of the soul. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life. we not like dumb-driven cattle; Be a hero in the strife. "When hearts whose truth has proven Like time, are laid in earth, There should a wreath be woven To tell the world their worth. While memory bids we weep thee, Nor thoughts nor words are free The grief is fixed too deeply That mourns a man like thee. We have gathered here today to do honor to the passing into the shades of death North Carolina's most prominent Negro citizen. The end, long expected, came last Monday to the deep regret of all the people of this great commonwealth, regardless of race or color. Because of my long and intimate association with him, the news of his death was distressingly shocking. I knew not only of him, but I knew him personally. We have labored and counseled together in the ultimate way for twenty years; hence I claim to know his life. Cel. Young was truly a public man, with strong emphasis on "public." But n very early, a fraction of his career was directed to the care and pleasure, but wholly to downsize and hard work in public affairs, under the scrutinizing eye of an unappreciative public. He was pre-eminently endowed to durée hardness as a good soldier." He always stood far in the forefront as a great leader among the host of people whom he sought to lead. As a politician, he was wise, shrewd, sane, and prudent, yet true and trustworthy, as a legislator, not of a class, but of the people, he made an enviable record, as a traternal companion, he was as true "as the needle to the pole," and as a churchman, he exhibited in devotion and activity all his co-laboratory Col. Young evidently appeared on the stage of life at an opentime time, whom became an eminent type of his classed people, and was generally considered the uncontested chieftain of his race until the day of his death. He had his faults, and he had his enemies; how could it have been otherwise! His was a busy, active restless life—always contending for truth and right, as he saw them. He regarded life no merry play-ground or luxurious dormitory for ease and rest, but a great work house of toil, sweat, and labor, to be kept open until divinely summoned from labor to reward. But few men have ever figured so extensively in public affairs, led so many hotly contested campaigns, and engaged in so many personal competitions for principles which he held sacred, and retained prestige and public confidence to the very last moment. All the scars received during his long and chequered career, are the scars of a hero—each well worthy of a medal. Colonel Young was indebted a great leader—a "prince in Israel," who did not play in his job, but constantly applied the constimation of the task before him, to was a skillful commander whose will was obeyed, whether they agreed or disagreed with him. The eninence which he attained years ago in his career, he held by force of his magnetic personality to the very last. Honor was not thrust upon him, as some seem to think, but he won his place by diligent application to duty, and by sheer force of his superior ability. He was one of those great souls that could not be kept down, but rose in spite of opposition. This great man was indeed a great race leader—a man who had the best interests of his people at heart. In his younger days when giants were needed to champion their cause, when it cost something to lead, he stood forth as a tower of strength in the thickest of the fight—"the noblest Roman of them all." Men heard him, respected him, followed him, and his word became law. In his latter days rushiness gave place to prudence, but his love, devotion, and patriotism to no one for his race and country suffered no desire. To charge him with selfishness and cowardice indicated ignorance of the character of this great leader. He possessed the highest ambition for the promotion of his people. "The land of promise which had so often passed before his imagination, buoying up his spirit and trials and vexations in the wilderness of social and political turmoil, even expanded in all the charms of reality before his prophetic vision. He had hoped to live to see the day when dies, sword in hand pointing his people thitherward. It requires but a slight survey of his activities to convince any reasonable mind that to him rightly belongs the high title of "our noblest chieftain." In the Masonic fraternity, for fifty years, he occupied the foremost place, and largely determined the policy which made that organization the leading fraternal institution in the State. He labored at his desk as endowment secretary until the 11th of March—a position great trust and responsibility. Facing an inevitable feeling of a slackening of his heart-throbs, which warned him that "hour was near at hand," he handed over to his successor a prosperous bureau of charity and a check for more than forty thousand dollars, with his benediction. He attained his high prominence in Masonry not by sinlessness or stratagem, but because of worthy service. He also occupied the leading position in the Odd Fellows' Order for several years, and died with the crown authority still on his brow. He also figures conspicuously in the Grand edge of Pythians. He was truly a public man—a leader, a colonel, a patriot. But, says one, "No man, indeed, rich or poor, has a right so bow over his desk or bench, be lower or counter, helm or anvil, as close sight of the grave, the cross, and the judgment seat." Piety haunts not pulpits and closets, and sanctuaries, but walks as no curious and careless stranger through all man's scenes of struggle and toil. Man's relation to the future is a solemn fact to be considered. Everything around us is in a state of ecacy; palace and hotel alike come to town. Wealth piled to mountains will dissolve as ashes. Desy cynizes the work of genius; old age dries up the vein of oblacence; mould touches the painter's wass; charriots of trimmps are broken; armies of power disappear, and the earth dissipates as vapor. All history is but a record of glory that has faded away. Parallel with the outward goes on a corresponding inward life and while the outward perishes, the inward, be it gregor or egal, is eternal. Our brother who lies often us still in death was as he so often described himself. For a Christian man, "a praying man," years he was the leading spirit in his church, and filled ever a position of honor and service therein. He was satisfied with nothing less than a leading part, whether it meant to work or to give. For three years or more he has waged a battle royal for life, sometimes almost overpowered, then again reviving, having secured a temporary victory—the struggle went day and night. He seemed always happy, hopeful, and trustful. He falls a veteran at his post—a faithful husband, a good father, a loyal friend, and a devout Christian. His foibles, let us forget; his great qualities, let us magnify and enulate. Let loving hands pile up wreaths, garlands, flowers, and other physical tokens of esteem, honor, and love. He Christ, whom he loved and served, he deserves them all; but, through Jesus has received an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that fadeth not away—the crown of everlasting life. M.

Doors, Wooden Novelties & Odd Furniture built to order, Dial 26840 April 23, 1921 Suffolk News and MRS. M. E. ESTES, 204 Wellon ADDRESS DELIVERED BY DR. H. A. WARREN TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL MASS MEETING Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: The subject which I have to discuss tonight is one of great importance—"How to Care for the Human Body." The first thing to talk about is "Practical Disinfection." We will not discuss that phase of disinfection which belongs to the city health department, but rather the practical side such as the medical practitioner is concerned about; first, the preparation of the room for the reception of a person suffering with contagious diseases. All closets should be emptied, all articles or ornament, unnecessary furniture removed, all furniture left in the room should be plain and without an upholstering, the covers or receptacles should be kept empty. Carpets should be reduced to a single finding removed altogether. The nurse finding protection for her feet in cold weather should use heavily lined slippers. Feetings, walls and closets should be thoroughly cleansed with abundant soap, washing soda and hot water, special care being taken with all crevices or joints. Second: disinfection during the occupancy of the room by the patient, that which attempts the destruction in the air of the widely spread germs, such for example as exist in smallpox epidemics, in childbirth, but it is not universally recognized. The effort to oxylogy the organic germs in the air of the room equally futile. No person can live in a room containing any known germicide in sufficient amount to kill disease germs. The putting of saucers or other receptacles of chlorinated lime about the sick room is medicinal barbarity which should never be allowed, because it tends to the production of a false sense of security. The air of the sick room must be kept pure by the checking of discharge into it of the disease germ; and the patient, if the disease don't mean from one room to the other, must so that the patients be supplied with so abundance of proper breathing material, by having windows opened both at top and bottom. Third: The source where the germs come from is in most instances from the sputum, from the urine and from the skin. All such excretions should be poisoned as soon as they leave the body. Disinfectants should be placed in the receptacles before, not after, it is used. Moreover the discharges should be allowed to stand mixed with a solution of chlorinated lime or corrosive sublimate or phenol or formaldehyde and should be allowed of stand mixed five or thirty minutes. As the skin is often the channel of elimination of the disease poison, frequently washing of the patient is essential and should be taken that the water which has been used not be emptied before it has been disinfected. The clothing of the patient should be cotton and the sheets should be changed often. In changing it is well to place a clean sheet on the floor and throw into it all of the bed clothing and tie them into a hard ball and drop them into boiling water without opening them, allowing it to remain for over an hour and a half until all organic germs have been destroyed.

Instead of placing foreign affairs in the forefront he placed domestic affairs there, and devoted most of his Message to suggestions as to what must be done to rehabilitate our own crippled industries, commerce and finances. Rigid economy in the Administration of the Government, and reorganization of the working machinery of the Government, in order to get the best results for the money spent in the conduct of public affairs, are outstanding features of the Message. President Harding thinks and says so bravely that the Congress should so legislate as to wipe out the National disgrace of mob law. He evidently believes that Congress can find a way to do this, and we are sure of it. He also recommends that a Commission to investigate the conditions subsisting in the relations of the races should be authorized by the Congress. This is all a very long move forward in the right direction. The Memphis Commercial Appeal about voices the opinion of the Southern Democracy as to the recommendations of the President in the lynching business when it says: The South will be concerned in that portion of the address in which the president spoke of lynchings and offered this advice: Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the hammers of a free and orderly representative democracy. All persons will agree upon the need of preventing mob violence anywhere and everywhere in the country, but there will be no agreement to put this matter in the hands of Congress. To do so would not only be a clear-cut violation of the police rights of the States, but also it would be capable of being used as those sought to be corrected. We cannot come to the point where the sovereign states are willing to surrender all their rights and powers to a national administration, and we never will. We shall see about that. It has been sufficiently shown that the several States cannot or will not control the mob spirit. That being the case there must exist somewhere in the Nation a power strong enough and willing to do so. A person is first a citizen of the United States and then of the State in which he resides. If the State is powerless, or negligent, in protecting him in his life and property he has an appeal to the organized Government to which primarily he owes allegiance. We think Congress will be able to find plenty of authority to curb mob violence by appropriate legislation, and the South will have to accept the remedy from the outside which it neglected to apply from the inside. Slavery was not allowed to rule and ruin the Nation, and mob law will not be allowed to do it. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WO- MEN WAGE-EARNERS Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School and secretary of the Federation of Republican Women's Clubs, has begun the organization of Afro-American women wage-earners. She thinks it is time that our women should get together, and asks for a membership of 10,000. She has outlined a comprehensive program for the benefit of those who shall join the organization We have no doubt great benefit will result to those who may join the organization, provided they can be induced to join it. That is the trouble. There is plenty of need of such an organization. Our experience has been, however, that the wage-earning Afro-American women do not want to be known and classed as wage-earning women. They do not appreciate the positions they hold, nor desire to hold them by organization for their protection, as white women do. It is all wrong, and we hope Miss Burroughs will be able to overcome it. All occupations are valuable to those engaged in them, among the most valuable assets the workers have. White wage-earners understand this to the last minute, and are so jealous of their particular employments that they have organized in every one of them, to promote and to protect their interests, in so far that they will not allow any one not connected with their organization to work with them in their employments. As for allowing colored women and girls to join their organizations and work with them. Never! We can only break down the barriers they have erected in this matter by becoming as effectively organized as they are. Pride of occupation, the work we have to do, is one of the primary things Afro-Americans have got to learn. They are learning it, but in a small and grudging way. Our women may succeed in doing it better than our men. We shall see. 40,000 MINERS STARVING IN ALARAMA We are not disposed to condemn those who seek by lawful means, when they are not opposed by unlawful means, to better their condition of wages and housing and hours of working. We have too many Afro-Americans who are dealt with unjustly in all of these matters to consistently do so. It is when organized labor bars us out of employment because of race and color and when it is sought to prevent others from working because they do not deem it good to work, that we are opposed to organized labor union activity. There has been a great deal of disturbance and much violence of late in the coal fields of Alabama, with sensational trials of those who have engaged in violence to enforce their demands, with a general upset of coal production, which necessarily interferes with all of the industries dependent upon coal as an indispensable article of production. And what industry is not dependent, in one way or another, upon coal as one of the agencies of production? Because of the striking of the miners in the coal fields of Alabama, and because of the shutting down of coal production affected by the strike, and because of the closing of industries dependent upon coal, a news dispatch declares that there are some 40,000 coal miners starving in Alabama. This is a frightful condition of affairs, and, there is something wrong in the management of our industries when such things can happen. Somebody is making money out of coal operation, as the prices have soared sky high in the past few years, and remain high. It used to be possible to buy coal at $3.50 per ton, which retained as high as $12 during the past winter. Who is getting the benefit which the consumer is forced to pay for coal? The Government ought to be able to find out and equalize the matter. If it can't do it in the coal as in other directions where it has seemed unable to do it, it must be considered as a failure. We are bound to sympathize with the starving coal miners and their families, even though they do not sympathize with and allow Afro-Americans equal wage labor opportunities with them. Sympathy for the distressed is a bit broader than race lines. The insistence of the coal miners and other industrial laborers within the jurisdiction of the American Federation of labor, or the United Mine Workers, the United Railroad employees, and the Buildings trades, and the like, that they will not stand for any reduction of hours or wages in times of peace from the standards that prevailed during the World War, is not only unreasonable, and unjust to the last degree to consumers, but is bound to create a worse condition of affairs between labor and capital than has prevailed. It begins to look as if the Government will have more and more to control and regulate the operations of the industrial corporations of the country. Domination of the Government by organized labor is unthinkable. IF NIGHT RIDERS, WHY NOT LYNCHOCRATS? They do say that consistency is a jewel. Perhaps it is so. The fact is, however, that it is quite as rare and precious as radium. The average person seldom runs across a real case of consistency in his ordinary intercourse with his fellows. On that account, a great majority of people do not recognize consistency when they come face to face with it. They have to be told all about the strange thing. As it is with individuals, so is it with Nations. That is consistency with them always which best serves their interests. In Arkansas, during the past twelve months, mobs have been allowed to lynch and burn Afro-Americans in a wholesale way, and without any effort on the part of sheriffs and other responsible officials to prevent the slaughter or to find and punish the lynchcrocats. The law lynched by judicial process more than a hundred Afro-American farmers and tenant farmers, in the Phillips county rioting cases, because they were assembled in one of their churches and discussing their grievances, which a sheriff disturbed by discharging his gun, and thus starting the alleged rioting, in the interest of white owners of tenant farms, it is alleged, while John Henry Lowry was lynched and burned at Nodena with the full knowledge and connivance of the county authorities, it has been shown, because he demanded a settlement of two years' wage account, and shot to kill only after he had been shot by one of the younger Craigs. William Pickins, field secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, after a personal investigation on the spot, says that is the way the matter stands. But none of the 600 lawless lynchocrats have been arrested, and none expect to be arrested. White night riders, for one reason and another, have been busy burning property of and terrorizing white farmers generally, since last fall. A news dispatch from Jonesboro, Arkansas, has the following to say about the rascality: "Fear that one of their number had told on them is said to have led to the undoing of 39 alleged night riders, nine of whom were arrested late today and lodged in the Craighead County jail here. The men are all formers living in the vicinity of Day, Ark. They are alleged to have been implicated in the burning of homes, destruction of barns, posting of gius and other vandalism. Warrants have been issued for the thirty-nine." This is all intensely interesting; all the more so because true. When farmers who have lynched and burned colored ones are terrorized in their lives and burned in their property the law very readily finds officers to hunt down and arrest the offenders. The attention of the Attorney General of the United States should be directed to this condition of affairs. He may not have jurisdiction in such a contingency, but it will help him to understand the situation and be the more prepared to take action when a case arises in which he will have jurisdiction. It is inconsistent with the letter and the spirit of our institutions that, as Dr. Washington used to say, there should be one law for the white man and another law for the black man. There must be one for both. It is our business to labor to have it so. THE COLORED JITNEYS To legislate the colored jitneys off Church street would not only be unfair to them—imposing upon them a heavy financial loss—but would work a great hardship upon almost the entire colored population of the city, which the traction company is not prepared to serve in any adequate way, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. The great majority of the colored population of the city live in the territory between Church street on the west, the Norfolk and Western Railroad on the north and Brambleton avenue on the South. There is not a yard of street car trackage except that which is abandoned in this entire territory. So, that when one of the jitneys men made the statement on the floor of the council chamber that the street car company did not cater to the colored people, he stated the truth literally. The jitneys penetrate, as far as possible this colored residential section and afford the only means of transportation that the colored people have of getting to the business section of the city. When they, get to the business section they find that every street car, with the possible exception of the Church street line, which runs only to Eighteenth street, is routed straight for some white locality. To route the colored jitneys south on Chapel street, instead of Church street, would not meet the ends of the patrons they serve, but would make it necessary for them to pay two fares to get to the business and shopping district, whereas they now pay only one fare. Until the street car company makes some pretensions to serving the colored people it is inconsistent indeed to make any complaint against the colored jitneys. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE welve JUDGE WADDILL The colored friends of Judge Edmund Waddill in Virginia—and they are legion—would be delighted to see him appointed to the vacancy on the circuit court of appeals caused by the death of Judge Pritchard. During Judge Waddill's twenty-three years on the district bench he has made a judicial record that commends him to all citizens regardless of race, creed or color, and there is hardly anybody to be found in his entire district, barrister or layman, who does not want to see him elevated to the circuit bench. The elevation of Judge Waddill would create a vacancy on the district bench. For this vacancy Mr. D. Lawrence Groner, at present acting district attorney, has been mentioned. This paper does not presume to be any judge of judicial timber, but believes that Mr. Groner embodies such qualities, legal and otherwise, as would be necessary to maintain the high standards of the office which has been filled in such distinguished manner by Judge Waddill. If the latter is appointed to succeed the late Judge Pritchard, his legion of colored friends and admirers would, in the judgment of this paper, be pleased to see Mr. Groner made judge of the district court. BUSINESS BREVITIES Business knowledge was never so cheap or so priceless as it is today. Business men are exchanging information frankly and freely, giving and taking from the common store. The "hows" and "whys" of buying, selling, manufacturing—the "rights" and "wrongs" of credits, collections, advertising, correspondence—the "do's" and "don'ts" customer-service, finance management—all of these are now in the reach of any individual who has common sense and industry and a real desire to know. Brace up, push up, think up, and you will stay up. Every successful man is hated by somebody. American women are spending $370,000 a year for cosmetics. The United States leads the world in commerce, but ranks unnth in education. The telephone was a toy in 1876; the typewriter a crude arrangement in 1878; the electric light industry a baby in 1897, when Edison invented the incandescent light; the photograph was a curiosity in 1890; the automobile, a buggy with a gasoline engine in 1895—only four in the United States in 1890; and the moving picture film experiment in 1896. When we think of the growth of people employed in these industries and their allied off-shoots, all this the growth of a half a century, we need have no trepidations about the future. Undreamed-of inventions and industries are just around the corner. J. FAISON Out in Lindenwood is a groceryman who has solved the "hard times" problem. He says, "there is no such animal." J. Faison is his name, and running a grocery store is his business. Beginning nine years ago with $115, Faison has built up a patronage that includes the food from his store last year, and he says that his trade is holding up as well as it was this time last year. Mr. Faison owns the building in which his store is located, with about 82,000 units of clean first-class gareries and meats. He also owns his home and his other property, all of which has been produced through his business, with $115,000 as the beginning. With his delivery truck he is able to cover a deal of the Vitaa Heights settlement and instead of them coming to his store, he takes the store to them. "Service rendered" is his motto for business, and it seems to work quite well for him. He thinks there is a big opportunity for our men in business and feels that those who are already in the game should unite their purchasing power. Condensed Report (Continued from page one) Never Accepted Any Salary Miss Mary White Ovington, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Association, who has served faithfully for eleven years, spending almost every day at her desk, addressing meetings and writing in the Crisis, the Bulletin and the public press, he never accepted any remuneration from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

I opened the prison doors to more than four hundred Negroes. During my administration I preached against lynching and I fought lynching. I rushed troops to protect prisoners, leaders of mobs were indicted and convicted, and I personally walked into a mob and persuaded men to abandon their purpose. Strikes at Ku Klux "In this free country the message that cannot be proclaimed from the housewife ought not be based by a legal American citizen. The Ku Klux Klan belives in the whisper and that is one of the reasons why, when the strong man from Texas tried to establish the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina, I rose up and hit it with all my might and drove it from our borders. Listen to your leaders who proclaim their message from the pulpit and through the local press. When the whispering agitator comes around, say to him 'Get the behind me, Satan.' A Candid Confession "Let me make a solemn confession. The whites in the South, and in the North as well, do not always deal justly by the Negro. We sometimes do him wrong,—and God knows I am ashamed of it,—but violence will not hasten the day of your redeliverance and hate will always hinder. The God of your redemption will come, not in the mighty wind, not in the earthquake, and not in fire, but in a 'still, small voice' that will trouble the white man's conscience and drive sleep from his eyes, until he gives to your people the finest measure of justice. The one safe path for the Negro to follow is the path that leads straight to the door of the white man's conscience. Some day every plea that is born of wisdom and justice will be allowed. "While hate and wrath will lead to failure and destruction, love and faith will surely conquer. My message and my prayer to both races is this: Love one another, and all these things will be added unto you." WASHINGTON PHILADELPHIA CONFERENCE (Continued from page one) under Dr. G. T. Long, Petersburg, under Dr. J. L. Moore and Philadelphia under Rev. H. D. Denston. Many preachers and laymen, high in the church's council are numbered among the delegates present. The attendance is very large. The conference is being entertained by Garrett's Temple and St. Luke church, pastored by Rev. L. K. Gargat and Rev. L. E. B. Rosser respectively. Bishop Williams sounded the keynote of the conference when he related the story of Peter on the mount; saying that Peter was perfectly satisfied to stay on the mount and enjoy the heavenly association and contact, while his brethren were suffering and sating in the valley. The idea he wished to convey was, that too many people are satisfied with staying where everything is charged with happiness and plenty and are not so willing to go out in to the valley where there is much more work to do. He charged the preachers that they must not expect to stay where things are easy always and that some work must be done in fields that are not so productive.

The race has made rapid strides in all walks of life since those dark days; yet in these stirring times, which, to use a much-worn expression, "treat men's souls," it should be the occasion of great rejoicing.

Hunter, who now holds Dr. Berry's position as presiding elder. Rev. L. L. Energy, D. D., of Buckley, Va., received his education from Hampton Institute and Kittrell College, the latter institution conferring upon him in 1911 the honorary degree of "D. D." He joined the Virginia Conference in 1920, thus entering upon his service of ministerical career. Subsequently he was transferred to the Western Carolina and Western North Carolina conferences, where he rendered eight splendid service. During his connection with the Western North Carolina conference an imposing $15,000 bride church at Winston-Salem. Returning to the Virginia conference in 1912, he was appointed to Princess Anne, where, during his two years of service he set an envoiced precedent in the spiritual and financial history of this charge. His four years' pastorate at St. James A. M. E. church, South Dakota, Va., demonstrated to a high degree his superior ability to forge ahead in his spiritual obstacles. It was during his administration that this particular church became its widest popularity and because of its unique organization, has ever since been raised among the most progressive in the Virginia Conference. Because of his perseverance, courage, peculiar ability and concession to the cause, he has during his four years' service as presiding elder over the Portsmouth district developed it to a measure where it is second to none in the entire Connection. Another evidence of Dr. Berry's popularity and efficiency is borne out by the fact that at every annual conference he functions in some important office, either as secretary, statistician, or on some special committee. At this point we want to congratulate our tried and true friend and brother on the extraordinary success and honor which he so well merits in assuming the pastorate of one of our largest and most progressive churches "of Emmanuel!" of Portsmouth, Va. It is with deep reluctance that we give you as presiding elder, and in entering upon your charge, accept our sincerest wishes and most fervent prayers for all that will conduce through the blessings of Jehovah to your welfare, prosperity and success.

It isn't customary for us to publish mid-week activities, but services of signal importance and helpfulness were conducted by Dr. E. W. Johnson, of Philadelphia, Pa., during the week of April 10th. An open door and eager crowds await the return of Dr. Johnson. A mild sensation was created among the vast throng in attendance last Sunday morning, through a great expository sermon by the pastor from the subject, "Drink From Your Own Wall," text, Proverbs 5:15. Rev. Hunting, in this call to use our own resource, history, was very philatic in his denunciation and admonition in matters pertaining to sexuality, thrift and loyalty to Christ.

He closed his message by saying, "Let us keep the door open, and if they close at all, let them close with us on the inside, and then we will be as the wise men closed on the inside in the presence of the bridegroom, who is the redeemer of mankind." After sermon, we decided that they could line up for God. Collection for the day amounted to $334.80. MACEDONIA A. M. E.

My task is not yet done, Nor let me at the labor cease to sing. But from the rising to the setting sun Each faithful hour do service to my King. Show me Thy Light!

"Admired By Every Man and Envied By Every Woman". OTHER FAMOUS EXELENTO BEAUTY PREPARATIONS MEN, MEASURES AND EVENTS SELFISHNESS AMONG HUMAN BEINGS (By Columbus Marcelli) There are some people who are of the opinion that there are no other persons in the world besides themselves. Just how they were stricker by this malady, we were no way of knowing, but of one thing we are sure, that is: "They are stricker in malady," and their malady is IN-SANITY. Any man who thinks he occupies all the space in the Universe is insane. There were others before your advent; others since your advent, and there will be others after you make your descent. These people are too selfish to take the time to learn their names; they don't have that much interest in them. They are too selfish to speak a word for a neighbor's business or a word to purge his character from a wanton attack at a time when a single word manfully and sternly spoken would have prevented a murder, saved a home from wreck and ruin and destroyed the germ of a community scandal. There are others too selfish to do anything for anybody or thing unless they assured in advance that there is something in it for them; being assured there is something in it for them they enter to see if they can't make it possible to secure all that may be in it for themselves: too selfish to even keep the original selfish contract. Such a spirit will not take one far in this world nor will it lead to the next one. You must not associate with the rest of mankind to disguise one for activities in all the pursuits common to the human family—statesmanship, matrimony, companionship and all else is working for the harmonious development of the human race.

I tell you, the Negro editor of those days was a busy man, and he and his family were always as hungry as he was busy. I tell you, the pioneer editors of the race were wonderful men and women. Then to add to all of their wormiments the Negroes would not support the papers and the colored editor was generally hated by the white folks. It was always a genuine pleasure in the community to get a chance to send the colored editor to jail or to the chain of police. He was being held in his real crime was being a Negro editor. But they kept driving at it and their mantles and pluck fell upon younger men. The pioneers knew that the race could never have its day in the courts until it had a Press, and the younger men believed their reports and determined to see to it that the race should have a Press. The Negro now has a vital PRESS. He has a *Press Association* and a *Negro Associated Press Service*. The Negro Press is making out the case of its race is telling the wrongs which are dally corpse repatriated against him, exposing the truth in which he held; it is battling against the crooks within and without the race; it is exposing those persons who have singled out the race for selfish exploitation.

The Third Congress District is famous in race history, as having given us for Senators in Congress Hiram R. Revels and Blanche K. Bruce and John R. Lynch as a member of the House of Representatives, all of whom except Major Lynch, have "passed over." It is famous as the Shoestring District and is one of the best organized in the State. The inspirational spirits of the meeting were Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, the founder of Mound Bayou, a real Negro Town, in which Negroes control everything and have everything needed in an up-to-date community. The Postmistress, the telegraph and telephone operator, the Railroad Station Agent, the Mayor, everything in Mound Bayou is owned and managed by Negroes, who are just completing a $100,000.00 high school which would be an ornament to any place. The committee went on record as having confidence in the Republican Administration at Washington, and as repudiation any suggestion or interference of the National Committee-man for the State, Michal Mulvihill of Vicksburg, because he has repudiated all of the conditions upon which the position was given him, proceeding in the conduct of party affairs without consulting the people who created him, and they voted unanimously to have Mr. Montgomery as their Spokesman on all matters affecting the third Congress District instead of Mr. Mulvihill. The committee endorsed the suggestion of President Harding that the Congress enact a law that curb the lynching and burning of human beings and of the acquisition of the Belgian and German possessions in Africa, in part payment of the billions of dollars loaned the Allies during the progress of the World War; such possessions to be acquired in the interest of the native Africans and as an asylum for any Americans who may be dissatisfied with their native land.

Hammond was on his way to the penitentiary to serve a ten-year sentence that had been imposed upon him by the court for attempted criminal assault.

LOUISE GLAUM IN "SEX" NEXT WEEK LOUISE GLAUM IN "SEX" NEXT WEEK "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Adrienne Renault, divinity of the Frivolity, never inclined toward this theory for the simple reason that she never could imagine herself situated as other women. Yet an eternal problem of Sex became Adrienne's problem, too, when fate so ruled and this wonderful creature of New York's night life, this Well-Beloved of the most favored men in Manhattan, found herself as incapable of solving the equation as the veriest novice in the game of love. "Sex" is a story of universal import. When this powerful W. W. Hodkinson release comes to the Attucks Theatre, it will be seen that its basic theme is so superscript and familiar that it will reflect the problems of all of us. Yet in his treatment of his age-young story J.

O H. P. BENN 714 North West St. Dept H. P. BENNETT & CO. 714 North West St. Dept. 18 Indianapolis, Indiana FEATURES AT THE ATTUCKS NEXT WEEK A The great (?) Chicago Defender, the champion of all rights and privileges of the Newro, and some of the New York weeklies have somewhat right-about-faced and are now championing the cause of Andy Lawson and his new equal rights venture—The Continental League. While every other sporting editor has penetrated the smoke screen of deception of this venture, the noble men on said papers evidently did not stop to examine it or were swayed by some sinister consideration. As long as Mr. Lawson confined his activities to cities not covered by the National Negro League and mixed his teams, which, to our way of thinking, was a wise step, why that was all right. Also, Mr. Lawson stated some time ago that he did not contemplate placing teams in cities already covered by the colored association, which led many to believe he was sincere; but he has completely, as far as we are able to figure out, discarded his first program and now is planning to place teams in two of the strongest cities now in the National Negro League—Chicago and Philadelphia—and seems to have the support of some of our large and influential papers in doing so. Chicago already has two teams in the National Negro League—the Chicago Union Giants and Uncle Rube's American Giants; both teams playing on the south side. Now for another colored team to enter the south side field is rather unfair to these teams. Rube Roster has long been called the dean of base ball managers and his influence and support has oft times been reflected through the news columns of the Defender; so, the action of this paper now must cause him some concern, or embarrassment. The fact that most of the teams of color in greater New York are owned by Nat Strong and other white men, and on which our brethren are only permitted to play at salary, shows that the New York Sport writers either disregard this sport or are pleased with conditions as they are. These writers are to be pitied more than censured. New York is so large they evidently did not have time to get around and look up the facts in this case. The National Negro League must succeed. Every move that is started that tends to put a stumbling block in the way of its success must be fought by every sporting editor in the country. If this league fails, the door of hope to our ball players will stay closed for a long time. This league will this year directly employ over 125 players; will also pay salaries for league officers and clerical help. And, above all, it will open the door of opportunity to every player who aspires to higher things. When his playing job as ampire for the league, or money, he can invest it in stock ownership of it.

B. P. O. E. of W., comes the announcement that the other wing of the Order, known as Greater Norfolk Lodge No. 132 will present a Grand Elk's Review and Vaudeville Thursday, April 28th. The cast in the company is composed mostly of local talent, assisted by accomplished and veteran comedians and vaudevillists of national fame, in theining of and putting the finishing touches on the artistists and from those who have been privileged to take a peep behind the screen, while they were in action, comes the pleasing information that a rare treat is in store for Norfolk's fun lovers. Special invitations have been extended to all Elk lodges and temples in this inimitable setting and a record leaving crowd is meticulously Euroca Lodge No. 5 is cooperating with Greater Norfolk in every way possible, and as a result every Elk in Norfolk is expected to be out for the excursion. The feminine patrons of the Attucks Theatre next week are assured of a rare treat, for seen in support of Bessie Barraiscue—Miss Harriseale, be it known, is the star of "The Breaking Point," a just-released Hodkinson production which will hold the screen at the above-named theatre—is Ethel Grey Terry, the statuesque beauty who has earned the reputation of being one of the most marvelously gowned women appearing before the camera today. Miss Terry plays a "wicked vampire" in this great new picture and, in her role, is given an opportunity to display some startling new dress emotions. Chief among them is a Cult-inspired gown—cloth-of-fold with a bodice composed mainly of jet—that represents her. —that represents absolutely the 'deren- rals' from the French capitol. At the town coffe-given in the home of the millionaire wafter, who, lured on by her wiles, deserts his wife and child—Miss Terry appears in a creation of seal brown charnouse over which a bodice of ceru chantilly is charmingly draped. These are but two of the many attractive freaks that go to make up Miss Terry's extensive wardrobe. Many others, of equal beauty, are shown. There's a big week ahead for the tide! N.

Williams) Hampton, Va., April 18.—The Hampton Institute nine suffered defeat on Saturday, April 18, after a hard-fought contest with the Howard University team. Excitement reigned throughout the game. Each team got at times what seemed to be good hits, but the fast work of the fielders prevented scoring. Both pitchers received excellent support. "Three up and three down" was the yell of each bunch of rooters until the last half of the eighth, when Campbell knocked a safety and Long smashed out a three-bagger, sending Campbell home and scoring the first run of the game. The ninth inning found the visitors hitting everything. Sims knocked a three-bagger in left field and Joseph knocked a single through second, bringing Sims in for a tie score. Joseph was advanced to third, and Sewell's single sent him home. Hampton failed to score in the last half and the game ended 2 to 1 with Howard on the long end.
