TULSA RIOT WAS DELIBERATELY PLANNED
Progressive "Little Africa" Aroused Ire of the Whites
200 Whites and 60 Colored Killed and Wounded In the Fighting. Property Damage, $2,000,000. White Pulpit Joins in Sanctioning Mob Spirit. Say Afro-Americans Must Be Suppressed. (Extra Special by Associated Negro Press)
Tulsa, Okla., June 14.—The Tulsa war for starting the horror was given by a sible white girl. Result: More than 20 casualties among the Negroes amounted losses were confined wholly to "Little $2,000,000.

Tulsa, Okla., June 14.—The Tulsa riot was wiltfully planned. An excuse for starting the horror was given by a foolish Negro lad and a silly, irresponsible white girl. Result: More than 200 whites killed and wounded, while the casualties among the Negroes amounted to about 60 people, all told. Property losses were confined wholly to "Little Africa" and amount to more than $2,000,600.
Completion of an $85,000 church was the straw which broke the camel's back of prejudice and made ready for the consumption of a plot that can be regarded the most diabolically fendish in the history of the United States. To this chapter of horrors can be added the outspoken declaration to lynch J. B. Stradford and James Smitherman, two of the more prominent Negro business men of Tulsa, should they be so bold as to show their faces in our midst again. Stafford and Smitherman were among the few leaders who managed to escape the clitches of the mob.
Even the white clergy were among those who gave sanction to the horrific program of wholesale detention of property and attempted general slaughter of men whose only crime was a determined effort to prosper and live decently. This statement is given force and color by the fact that the business section and the better residential district in "Little Africa" were the first places to feel the forked tongue of the torch. "Had there been no effort to lift "Little Africa" out of the slimy conditions of a slum district there, would have been no riot," declared an intelligent Negro to the Associated Negro Prespective.
Bishop Mouzon of the Methodist Church, South, the Rev. C. W. Kerr, of the First Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Harry G. Cooke, of the Centenary M. E. Church, last Sunday, declared from their pulpits that the Colored people were wholly responsible for the horrors of the riot. Bishop Mouzon went so far as to announce that William B. DuBois' recent visit and talks to Tulsa Negroes was one of the contributing causes of the riot. He averred that the Negro must not prussie to compete with the white man nor seek to rise out of the economic and social situations in which the whites are determined to keep him. A violation of this edict was sure to visit on the Negro the reprisals of race riots whenever it occurred. Cooke and Kerr were no less outspoken in their demunciations of the Tulsa Negroes' aspirations to approach the social and economical levels of the Tulsa whites.
Smitherman's whereabouts have not been discovered up to this date. Stradford, however, was located in Independence, Kansas, and an effort to extradite him was frustrated by his son, G. E. Stradford, a Chicago lawyer, who succeeded in getting his father out of the hands of the Kansas authorities through the processes of a Habeas Corpus proceedings. The elder Stradford has not been located. Should either of these men be brought to Tulsa a lynching bee would surely be added to the awful list of horrors that have already visited this bourneed place.
In the meantime there is a group of white citizens who are desirous that retribution be provided for the Negroes by rebuilding and replacing their personal losses at whatever cost. While this offer appears to be bona fide it seems to be qualified by presenting a plan which will move the Colored people from the occupancy of the district that was so wantonly destroyed. The answer of the Colored people to this plan has not yet been given. It is not thought they will be given much choice in the matter.

C. band, after which the Honorable William H. Lewis, of Boston, Mass., former assistant Attorney General of the United States, delivered the commencement address, choosing as his subject, "A Plea for the Reign of the Law," Mr. Lewis said:
MR. LEWIS' ADDRESS
"When I stood here last, I did not hear the peaceful bells calling men and women to the recitation hall, on chapel for a period of study and meditation; but this campus resounded with arms, with the tramp of marching men. I heard the bugle call to the assembly, and there passed in review the Students Army Training Corps, 457 men, the very pick and feed of our schools and colleges. Howard University posted within the shadow of the Capitol, applauding increasingly, by the Nation itself for the education of the colored youth, could not fail to answer the country's call for trained leadership and unselfish service. The spirit of her great founder and inspirer, that great Christian soldier and patriot, General O. O. Howard, a name worthy to stand in history by the side of Godfrey de Boulion and Sir Philip Sidney, keeps its vigil here. In his spirit the men went forth to the war. The University will never辜ish the memory of Fairfax Process Davis, Summons, Cork, and Carrier, who gave their all to country and humanity.
"I depreciate the recent attempt in some quarters upon a plea of sincerity and truth to destroy the splendid idealism with which the American youth went forth to war, by asserting they were 'afraid to fight.' I rather cherish the idealism of the great leader who said That our object is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world, as must selfish and autocratic power'; for selfish and forth to fight 'for democracy, for the fight of those who submit to authority for their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations'—as well as the great. Victory of the Allies was a triumph in part at least, of those great ideals.
"Have we-colored Americans a right to claim a share in the fruits of victory? Have we a right to speak of the lessons of war? When the agile-long conflict between the Teuton and Gaul for dominion and power and glory had once more set Europe aflae and the configuration was extending wider and farther to other nations, and the whole structure of our modernization menaced, when the honor of America was assailed, her prestige and nations challenged, the rights of her colonials upon the high seas violated, in conspicuous disregard of all law, the American asked only for a chance to prove his fidelity, loyalty, and devotion to American institutions and ideals. Half a million men filled the ranks of our armies: 200 thousand
Hope Not Enough
The hope expressed by President Harding at Lincoln University yesterday is valuable only for its sincerity unless followed by a firm official touch which will translate the hope into something tangible. The grant that its like may never happen, in referring to the episode at Tuskegee, last week, is weightless unless issued in authority, from President Harding down to the humblest municipal officer, take a new view of the causes of such affairs and act under far different impulses.
Opportunity is all the Negroes have ever asked, all they ask now, and it is just that denial of opportunity which is the foundation of race clashes. Negro opportunity is obtained, to a great extent, in the South States, and, in recent years the state legislature has begun to appear in the North. The President might have said the Government can only offer opportunity. The chance itself is nothing if means of utilizing the opportunity pre denied or forcibly taken away. It is this protection from the Government which the Negroes have asked, and which they have a right to demand, legally and morally. And it is quite useless to indulge in mere hope that the example of Tampa St. Louis, and Chicago, may never be repeated so long as the Federal Government supports state governments in refusing protection to the Negroes to work out their opportunities.
Education for the Ngo: Is education unless he has a chance to use it. And he will never get the once so long as race prejudice exists among officials who should throw even the first action about the Negro's opportunity, and refuse through prejudice or fear—Pittsburgh Leader (Prog, Rep.)
went over the seas to serve in France and Italy. Whether with Depot Brigades, the Stevodore regiments, the Engineers, so-called, doing the menial work of the army, they did not complain, they were happy in such service. Along that far, fung battle line', from the Yser to the Marne, with the fighting units of the army, they bravely met death in every conceivable shape. Their blood and bones, mingled with the sacred soil of France, will nourish the tree of liberty for a thousand years, and make liberty, fraternity, and equality a thing worth fighting for, and if need be, with dying upon. Let us believe that in falling upon the field of battle, their uplifted eyes caught the vision of a liberated world, in which equal justice and democracy that rule', not for some men but for all men, not for white men alone, but for brown black, yellow, and all the children of men.
"The problems of the world today are not only economic readjustment, the reconstruction of devasted regions, the restoration of public order, these follow naturally in the wake of war, but the rebuilding of our civilization along lines which give hope of its permanence, and perpetuity.
"The Academic classes of 1921 go forth with an opportunity for service such as comes to few generations of college bred men and women. The lessons for the hour, the lesson that would have you taught by the great World War, the maintenance of the supremacy of the laws, is the first duty of man."
"The rule is simple. If each individual keeps to his own orbit; if each nation keeps to its own path, there can be no friction, no clash, no strife. The motion of the individual, and the nation may be limited and circumscribed by law, but there will still be freedom of motion sufficient to insure the individual, collective progress and development of the human world." "I cannot doubt that, out of the noise and din of the present conflict, the harsh, discordant sounds of barbe and strife, will come a purer harmony, a symphony divine in which all the children of men may rejoice."
DR. DURKEE CONFERS DEGREES
Following the commencement address, President J. Stanley 'Durksee conferred degrees in Arts, Science, Religion, Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Law upon the candidates who were presented to him by the Deans of the various schools and colleges of the University.
Women's Rights to be Recognized in Africa
(By Associated Negro Press)
London, June 16--Pierce pounds sterling is to be the price of a wife, according to a recently ratified convention between the governments of Great Britain and Liberia. This convention regulates the relations between the tribes living on the border line between Liberia and Sierra Leone. Women's rights are to be recognized in the West African jungle, for it is expressly provided in the convention that no claim can be made in respect of a woman except by her husband, and that no woman can be compelled to return to a claimant against her will.
WOMEN'S SHARON BAPTIST
CONVENTION CONVENES
Ivor, Va., June 14.—The Women's Sharon Baptist Convention will convene with the Ebenezer Baptist Church Ivor, Va., June 30th and July 1, 1921. The pastor and Sisters' Circle of this church are making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the celebrates who will attend. Mrs. Martina Branch is president of the Circle and Rev. R. D. Heck is the pastor.
WILL HARDING FAIL COLORED CONSTITUENTS
Paramount Question Now In Mind of Afro-Americans All Over Country. Press and Pulpit Voice Protest
(By Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. C., June 16.—"Will President Harding fail us?" That is the very serious question that is being asked by everyone interested in political progress. It is being asked by no less persons that Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committeeman from Georgia, and Robert R. Church, well known business man and political wizard of Tennessee. It is also being asked by their political associates and the newspapers of the race, from one end of the country to the other.
There is no desire to see the President fail his 12,000,000 colored American constituency, that backed him unanimously in his election. In fact, numbers of letters are coming to leaders in Washington stating that religious denominations are holding prayer meetings, in the cities and back in the villages and the hills and mountains, praying that President Harding, the given courage to stand up to the sentiments of justice expressed in his public addresses. The people wish not more less, and, even in the words of Henry Lincoln Johnson, "we certainly can endure nothing less."
SOUTH SOURCE OF TROUBLE
The whole trouble is bound up in the policy of recognition. Colored Americans are insisting that all citizens be recognized absolutely on merit. Very active elements in the South are urging the President to "classify" the Negro, and that means to eliminate and segregate.
The President, it is said, refuses to eliminate, out that he is lending a listening, if not sympathetic ear to the plan of segregation. This informs him to strike the colored Americans through the country with amazement, but the Associated Negro Press learns this from high authority.
The situation at present may be stated:
First, There will be no appointment of colored Americans to office in the Southern States.
Second, There will be no appointments of colored Americans to presidential offices, that is, offices that require the confirmation of the United States Senate.
Third, There will be no appointment of a colored Register of the United States Treasury, Recorder of Deceds or any other similar officer formerly held by colored Republicans.
Fourth, There will be no appointment of a number of prominent colored Americans to prominent places in various departments, as many as twenty or more places, that do not require Senate confirmation.
Supremate appointments will have salaries attached amounting to $5,000 or more, and will have the approval of President Harding.
COLORED LEADERS OPPOSE
This program of policy does not meet the approval of colored Americans, and President Harding is being respectfully informed of the facts. "We don't want 'jobs,' we want 'positions'," declared Col. Johnson. "It does not matter to us if the jobs named have salaries with the wealth of Shylook, it is a matter of principle, and we must have justice. "On this matter of principle," continued Col. Johnson, "we want the position of Register of the Treasury, the protest of a few women can keep us from a place, a similar protest can keep us from a place that may be given. It cannot keep us from places of employment, but from civic justice everywhere. This we must unalterably oppose, with the help of Almighty God."
A BACKWARD STEP
It is stated that if President Harding pursues this policy it will be a step backward, even further than Taft and Woodrow Wilson. It is argued that Taft appointed a number of men to federal positions requiring Senate confirmation. It is stated that even Woodrow Wilson named a colored man for Register of the Treasury, even though he later withdrew the name and placed in nomination an Indian.
That the President is not in favor of appointing any colored person to any office where the will come in con- with or be "over white employees," is being stated by those close to him.
This policy, if carried out, will have a sickening effect on the party in the elections of 1922, so far as colored Republicans are concerned. Robert R. Church, who has been regarded as an Administration spokesman, has let it be known among friends that he will assume no position of "pussy-footing," double-crossing or compromise. He has stated that he will absolve himself in all responsibility if this attitude is assumed as Administration policy. In this position he is being backed practically unanimously by all political leaders.
A number of Congressmen and United States senators who have large numbers of colored voters have gone to President Harding, urging him of the importance of heeding the protests of the people.
Systematic efforts to prevent the confirmation of Frank A. Linney as United States Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina have begun. Every Senator has received
by mail a pamphlet entitled "Copy of
Protest Against the Linney Nominat-
ive Five Prominent
Negroes of North
Virginia,
headed by Bishop G. W, Gtjctphi
The protest quotes a letter from Linney, written during the campaign "To the Women of North Carolina" which contains these statements:
"The Republican Party has not made efforts to organize Negroes in this campaign, nor will it convince at such political strategy. If we carry the State you will have a strictly federal government. The Republican Party's policy will be to let the Negro stay out of politics. If the Democratic organization will meet us halfway, we are in a fair position to eliminate any possibility of the Negro question in this or any subsequent campaign.
WM. F. GIBBS WOULD ENFORCE SEGRECATION
Man In Charge of Attorney General's Office Endorses "Jim Crow" Policy of Democratic Administration. Ignores Protest of Colored People.
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. C. June 16.—In the last release of The Associated Negro Press, the correspondence between the representative and the Department of Justice was given.
Not receiving a reply from Attorney General Daugherty, to the communications, the representative called W. K. Gibbs, Secretary, and assistant to the attorney General, and inquired about the correspondence. Mr. Gibbs feigned evidence of the letters, and also the subject matter. He was told that the letters were with reference to segregation and discrimination in the Department of Justice. Mr. Gibbs stated that he could not see cause for complaint.
The A. N. P. representative said:
"It certainly is not a becoming thing to do in a United States Government Department—it is not American—and it is not just."
Mr. Gibbs declared that whatever the condition was, everyone seemed satisfied.
"It is a thing that we as American citizens cannot countenance or encourage—we know there is a great propaganda behind it, and the people readers of our colored newspapers—putting it up to us (The Associated Negro Press) as business men and publishers of newspapers, to see that such conditions are not permitted to exist without vigorous protest—certainly under a Republican administration."
"When did you write this letter?" he asked.
"I wrote Mr. Daugherty a personal letter on this subject more than three weeks ago and got no reply; I wrote again and got nothing but your promise to call my previous letter to his attention when the Department of Justice was not rushed with work."
"Well, you must understand that we are very here, and although I sign many letters and many of them come, I do not have time to read them all. You say you got a letter from me."
"Yes, I got your letter but it didn't answer my questions or supply the information I asked for. When I wrote Mr. Daugherty--knowing him as well as I do and having full faith in his high sense of justice and fairness I felt certain then, and I still felt certain that if the matters complained were called to his attention they would be immediately corrected and abolished--I knew that he himself, would ever countenance Crimism or segregation right there in the Department of Justice--I have known him for fifteen years as a good Republican citizen, I know that he wouldn't stand for any such things like those I called to his attention--但 I can't get a letter to him--I can't get a reply from him--and I know of a number of men who have made an effort to get to him on important matters and they claim that you have presented them from seeing Mr. Daugherty."
"We are running this department. If these men have complaints, as you say, why don't they bring them to us, instead of going to someone on the outside and to the newspapers?"
"Well, Mr. Gibbs, I want to know your views on the matters mentioned in my letter."
"I don't know anything about the segregation you mention, but IF THERE IS DOUBLE AGE THERE SHOULD BE ANY COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. THE WHITE PEOPLE DO NOT COMPLAIN WHEN THERE ARE SIGNS UP. It seems all right to me."
"Well, I do feel perfectly free now to say to you that I positively cannot and do not agree with the attitude that you are taking and I think it would be highly interesting, to say the least for Mr. Daugherty and for the President, Mr. Harding, if I should have any conversation that we are having now with the telephone. I do not want to embark on present administration but in justice, fear of the large racial group that The Associated Negro Press is seeking to serve. I feel it my duty to publish your unfair and un-American attitude, for you seem to think it perfectly right to segregate Negro clerks and other employees and perfectly right in your judgment to have lavatories for WHITE MEN ONLY" and "FOR COLORED MEN ONLY" right there what is called the Department of Justice.
"Well, you are perfectly at liberty to publish it if you wish to. I am (Continued on page four)

ESTABLISHED MILITARY CENSORSHIP
Over Haitian Press. Authors of Memorial to Congress Appeal to American People
An appeal to the American people was published here today by the Haitian authors of the Memorial to Congress, who assert that a rigorous Press censorship has been re-established in Port-au-Prince, by Colonel John H. Russel, who, they assert, has imprisoned two editors and forbidden Haitian newspapers to publish American newspaper comments on the recently published Memorial.
The appeal to the American people which is signed by H. Paules Saunon, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Haiti; Stenio Vervack, former President of the Haitian Society; and Perceval Thoby, former Haitian Charge d'Affaires at Washington, was given out at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, and is as follows:
"A new attack upon the liberties of the Haitian People has been perpetrated by Colonel John H. Russell, commanding the marines at Port-au-Prince. According to the latest reports and reports from Haiti, Colonel Russell issued on July 25th last a military order suppressing freedom of speech and of the press.
"The order translated from the French is as follows:
ORDER OF THE DAY
Although, in principle, there is no restriction upon liberty of the press and of speech, nevertheless the writings and speeches of an incendiary nature, or which tend to cast discredit on the forces of the United States in Haiti, or which tend to incite the people against functionaries of the United States are giving aid and assistance in the Haitian Government attacking the person of the President of Haiti or the Government, or writings and speeches of Haiti, are prohibited.
All contravention of the present order will be brought before a military tribunal.

School Closings Feature Events for Week
Booker T. Washington High Turns Out 49 Graduates. Most Successful Sessions In Their History
The feature events for the week have been the closing exercises of the public schools of the city, commencing Sunday the Bachelorate sermon at the First Baptist church by Rev. R. H. Bowling, for the Booker T. Washington High school, and ending with the joint closing exercises at the Second Calvary Baptist church of the S. C. Armstrong Lott Carey, J. C. Price and John T. West schools.
The high school alumni reunion concert was given before a canopy audience in the auditorium of the High School on Monday night, and was a most interesting affair, and the class night program rendered in the same auditorium on Tuesday night was said to be the best in the history of the school. All available seats and standing room was taken at the Attucks theatre Wednesday morning with parents and friends who were there to witness the graduation of the largest class turned out by that institution, and judging from the program rehearsed, the class motto, "Preparedness Our Own," was certainly a befitting one. Especially commendable were the orations by Evelyn Segar, salutatorian, and Edward Acker, valedictorian, while the other participants in both the class night and graduation programs were entirely above criticism. The following is the high school class roll:

Do You Have A Bank Account?
IF YOU DO NOT YOUR RATING IS LOW. You are not counted upon as one of the constructive builders in the community. Instead of making progress you are at a standstill. You are in that minority thriftless class and when opportunity knocks at your door you'll not be able to grasp it as your neighbor has done. There is nothing so remarkable about success. To succeed it only means that you have to save—make a little sacrifice—do without a few luxuries you are now indulging in. After you have earned for yourself a surplus and are on "easy street" you can then enjoy luxuries and be content to know that you still have a bank account that adds dignity and prestige to your personality.

INTERESTING MEETING
The Principals' Association of Greater Norfolk and Vicinity closed a most successful year in a very befitting way Saturday, the 11th, in the Norcum High School, Portsmouth, Prof. Riddick, principal.
The Principals' Association has had a year of unusual achievements in every way. The spirit of comradeship between the principals that pervaded each meeting, the interest and sympathy manifested by the patrons that have given such a tone of genuine hospitality wherever the meetings have been held, the high character of discussions and practicalness of the subjects considered, make the year just closing a standard for years to come.
The first meetings at Truxtun, J. T. West, Churchland and Suffolk have been mentioned in these columns, but the subsequent meetings have not been given the notice to which their character entitled them.
The Armstrong school of Norfolk invited the Association to be its guest at its regular meeting in February. The teachers and the Patrons' League, which had been recently organized, bent their energies toward making the gathering witness again the spirit of the great educator for whom it was named, and the success with which their efforts were met was attested by the complimentary expressions coming from those who were present.
At this meeting the corresponding secretary, Mr. W. W. Hill principal of the S. C. Armstrong School, was ordered to secure sample copies of Standardized Tests for Grammar Schools for each principal in the association. Mr. Hill had for sometime been emphasizing the worth of the helps in securing better teaching results in the public schools, and the order was the result of the interest of the principals in improving the work in their respective schools. Mr. Custis, principal of the Lott Curtie School, extended to the association invitation to meet in that March. The principals looked forward to this meeting with keen interest, nor were they disappointed. There were many things that were especially inspiring. The newly installed equipment for a school lunchroom, the work of the Patron's League, guided by the splendid executive ability of its president, Mr. Byrd, came in for loud praise as a mark of the progressiveness of the principal, teachers, and league members of the school.
The liberality of the school officials in providing such a beautiful and well-equipped annex came in, too, for strong expressions of praise and appreciation. Mr. Southall, principal of the Abraham Lincoln school, presented a most excellent speech. The Principal's relations to His Teachers. If there had been nothing else this paper alone would have justified the meeting. Also, at this meeting, sample copies of the Standardized Test, distributed. The meeting adjourned to convene with Miss Munford, principal of the West Norfolk school, in April. The previous meetings had accustomed the principals to look for things done up in grand style, from the dress that are usually displayed to the finishing touches of the culinary department and Miss Munford saw to it that. If any disappointment should come, it not happen in West Norfolk.
The literary features of this meeting were 'another scholarly paper by Prof. Curtis, of B. T. Washington School, on "School Room Tact," and excerpts from McMurry's "Elementary School Standards," a book dealing with Instruction, Course of Study, and Supervision, by Mr. Hill.
The next meeting was held in the new Smallwood school at Lambert's Point, Miss Fuller, principal. Everything here was in keeping with the spirit of the previous meetings. Mr. Custis, principal of Lott Carey school, opened the discussion, which was both timely and handled with skill. Here, too, excerpts were taken from McLurry's book. The meeting was voted a howling success, which simply meant that the school at which the next meeting would be held would have to rise in its majesty and power, if it wished to be in the procession that had moved forward with such a series of brilliant displays. How well the Norcum school played its part has already been mentioned and nothing needs to be said here except that there seems to be an awful grounded purpose to make this Principals' Association a mighty agency in the development of the public school systems of Tidewater in so far as the work of the principals is related to them.
No detailed account of the spreads at each meeting has been given nor attempted. It would be impossible to do justice at this late date to the splendid repasts, to the very pleasing service and beautiful decorations, to the flow of wit and humor, and to the splendid hospitality and royal welcome which were characteristic of each meeting.
It is the very strong opinion of those who have followed these meetings that the exhilation, mental and physical, in the tonic well worth the cost in the effort, and time required to attend them, and that the principals who do not attend them are depriving themselves of very effective means of professional growth.
The Association expresses its hearty thanks and appreciation to all principals, teachers, presidents, officers, and members of the various leagues and to all who have in any way by their contribution helped to make the gatherings the success that they have been and looks forward to a repetition of this year's good work during the year 1921-22.
BACCALAUREATE SERMON
The Emanuel A. M. E. church was filled to its capacity on Sunday, June 12th, at 3 o'clock, to hear Rev. L. L. Berry deliver the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of the high school and grammar grades of the I. C. Corum High School. Dr. Berry who is an eloquent and forcible speaker, used as his text, "My soul firststest for the living God," and he told his hearers spellbound as he told them of the duties and responsibilities of living upon them and the utter futility of trying to do or to be anything without the Christ spirit predominating in each. Dr. Berry's charge to the class to let Christ show in their lives and to
practice the principles for which the I, C. Norceum High School stood made a profound impression upon all who heard him. As a conclusion and climax to his wonderful sermon, Dr. Berry used Jaecquin Miller's poem "Sail On." which so well suited the occasion. Teachers and pupils are deeply grateful to Dr. Berry for this excellent sermon.
EUREKA

PRESIDENT HARDING TELLS US
WE SHOULD "DO" FOR
OURSELVES
On his way from Valley Forge, where he had been a guest of Senator Philander K. Knox, and where he had made an inspiring address on American ideals as the patriots who fought at Valley Forge had fought for them, and a plea that we cling fast to those ideals as a Nation, President Harding stopped a few minutes at Lincoln University, in Pennsylvania, an Afro-American school which has long done good and effective work. In the few remarks he made to the anxious students, who were hoping for a message of inspiration and hope, President Harding made one of the most remarkable deliverances ever addressed to such a race body. It must have acted upon them as a deluge of iced water.
He said that the part Afro-Americans played in the World War entitles them to "be memorialized," and that there is nothing the Government can do in affecting the relations of the races "which is akin to educational work." Why, we earned the right to be memorialized in the Civil War sixty years ago, and since in every war the Republic has engaged in at home and abroad. And we have been getting education, with little assistance from the Federal Government, ever since the emancipation, and to such good purpose as to have reduced our total illiteracy by quite half.
But, in the following paragraph, President Harding must not have intended to convey the impression his words spell, being interpreted, when he said:
"One of the great difficulties with popular governments is that the citizenship expects at the hands of government that which it should do for itself. No government can wave a Magic wand and take a race from boudage to inhalf a century. All that the government is to afford the opportunity. The ored race, to come into its own, must do the great work itself in preparing for that participation."
The President had in mind and referred, without naming the offender, to the Tulsa rioting, burning of property and slaughter of innocent citizens, and he expressed the hope that such a thing might not happen again. They have been happening for fifty years in the Southern States, while the Republican party has done nothing to prevent them, and they will continue to happen if President Harding's opinion as to the inability to do anything to correct them shall prevail as the opinion of the Republican Congress and of the Nation.
It is the business of the States to give their citizens a Republican form of government and adequate protection of life and property. We understand that. We also understand that when the State fails to do so the Federal Government has the power by express terms of the Constitution to compel it to do so. If Congress has no such power why did the President advise in his inaugural address that Congress might legislate against mob law and authorize the appointment of a Commission to investigate the whole question of race relations?
It is not surprising that the President should be confused and irritated by the gravity of the race relations, mob law, and the insistence that he take a decided stand against these. No Afro-American expects the Government to "Wave a Magic Wand" to take him to his citizenship; that was done when he was made a citizen by three-fourths vote of all of the States nearly fifty years ago. What we all expect is that the Government shall exercise its authority and power to correct the evils of mob law, disfranchisement, unequal distribution of tax funds' and unjust discrimination in travel. We do not expect to be advised by the President to front the mob, and officers of the law affiliating with the mob, to defend our lives and property from mob violence. That is the business, first of the State, and failing in the State, of the Federal Government. That is what we have State and Federal Governments for. The President, in effect, advises Afro-Americans to meet mob law with mob law. That is awful!
GEORGIA COMMITTEE ON RACE
RELATIONS RINGS TRUR
The new Governor of Georgia, Thomas W. Hardwick, is going to find that he will not have matters all his own way in reversing the policy of former Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, in seeking to give Afro-Americans a better brand of justice and fair play than they have been having in Georgia. The Committee on Race Relations,
called into being by Governor Dorsey Inst April, has issued a statement against the Hardwick explosion against Governor Dorsey, in which, after emphasizing the fact that Governor Dorsey had called attention to 135 cases of mistreatment of Afro-Americans brought to his attention, with the 415 cases of lynching to the credit of Georgia during the past thirty-five years, says:
"The most sacred rights of person and property are put in jeopardy for them, now cowardly mobs can deny the rights of indictments and trial by jury and lynch men and women at will.
"The moral peril is greater. The Negro does not and cannot threaten white supremacy. He neither desires nor expects social equality. The Negro is not so stupid. He asks only for justice. And no civilization can refuse to give him justice and survive. Justice shows that the stronger race denying justice to the weaker people destroys first its own moral fibre and ultimately brings destruction upon itself.
More than fifty prominent white citizens of Georgia signed a statement containing this paragraph, published in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of June 4th, which goes at the root of the trouble, and they make recommendations to remedy the trouble which cannot be whistled down the wind. The best sentiment of the Christian world applauds the stand this Committee on Race Relations takes and will give it moral support in its work.
LIBERAL LEAGUE DOCTRINE OF
REPRISALS
The New York World is one of the best and truest friends the Afro-American people have among the newspapers of the country. It seeks always to get at the truth of race clashes, and, in its editorial opinion, it always rings clear in favor of justice and fair play. It has the following to say, which will interest the readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE:
"In advising men of his race to arm themselves, Herbert H. Harrison, President of the Liberal League of Negro Americans, gives them the worst possible counsel. The worst against lawlessness in Oklahoma he merges lawlessness by ten times as many in the East. In reprisal for rioting and outrages he outlines a policy that would cause further outrage and inevitably lead to conflict.
"Almost as if he welcomed them, Mr. Harrison says he would not be astonished 'if we saw three splendid race riots by next September.' He admits that fifty armed Negroes in Tulsa went to patrol the jail.' This conduct was improper, whether committed by white people or colored. As Gen. Barrut point out, the lawless 'patrol' should have been at once disarmed and dispersed. Its presence aggravated, if it did not cause, the horrors that followed.
"The further troubles to which acceptance, of his counsel might lead would undoubtedly swell the membership of Mr. Harrison's organization. But his is bad policy, either lawless or community is either lawless or community is either law-abiding it will take private armies. If it is lawless there is no safety for civilization except in the return to law."
Mr. Herbert Harrison is a very heilflant radical but, like most radicals, he is often too extreme in his opinions and follows his logic beyond its legitimate conclusions. 'He was not justified in saying that "fifty armed Negroes went to patrol the jail." The World's own accounts stated that some twelve, hearing there was to be a lynching, went to the jail to prevent it, and found twenty-five white men already there, three of them in an altercation with the sheriff over a demand that the prisoner be delivered to them to be lynched. The riot started when one of the whites undertook to disarm one of the blacks
If there had been no rumor of lynching there would have been no whites or blacks at the jail, where neither had any lawful business. In that view of it the World is correct. Black mobs have as much right to meet to prevent white mobs from lynching as white mobs have to meet and lynch. When this condition prevails, as it does all over the South, "private armies" prevail, and "safety for civilization" becomes a mockery of Justice.
Mr. Harrison should have too much sense to advise Lawlessness in reprisals far removed from the scene of lawlessness for vengeance and pure cussness. There is no sense in that. We should defend our lives and property when they are threatened at the time and place where they are threatened. And violence in revenge or reprisal is a dangerous and undesirable expedient at best, and should be made impossible by honest law and law enforcement.
THE SOUTH LOSES TWENTY
THREE MEMBERS IN NATIONAL
CONVENTIONS
The National Republican Committee met in Washington on Wednesday of last week, threshed out the Southern Republican situation and adopted a scheme in National Convention membership which increases the total from 984 to 1,037. Instead of "killing the Southern membership dead," as we were led to believe the program was fixed to do, so that the Lilywhites could have everything their way, to the utter exclusion of Afro-American Republicans, a reduction of twenty-
three votes, that is from 167 to 144,
ten States-being affected, was made
as follows:
The new schedule gives Alabama 14 votes, the same as it has
at present; Arkansas, 14 instead
of 13; Florida, 8 instead of 10;
Georgia, 17 instead of 20; Louisiana, 9 instead of 12; Mississippi, 4 instead of 12; North Carolina, 22 as at present; South Carolina, 4 instead of 11; Texas, 23 instead of 21, and Virginia, 16
instead of 15.
A news, dispatch says:
"When it came to the next feature highly surcharged with emotion, shouted a vigorous protest against the proposition to exclude all districts failing to cast 2,500 votes or more for any Republican electorate or for the Republican nominee for Congress in the last Congressional election. This blow was somewhat softened, however, by an added provision, which was actually agreed to after the committee met, that any district electing a member to Congress in the colored belt would be given two delegates. These were the most important changes from the existing plan."
Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Mr. Robert R. Church, Mr. Aaron P. Priole, and others made a brave fight to prevent any discrimination against the South, but it was all in vain. Now it is up to the Republican Congress to enact legislation regulating Federal primaries and elections that will justify the action of the National Committee. Let us carry the fight to Congress.
SUNDAY SCHOOL PARADE
Dear Mr. Editor:
Please permit me to have a small space for your valuable paper to say a word about the parade that took place last Sunday.
Surely this was the most unique affair that I have ever seen anywhere. Norfolk is to be congratulated for making this mammoth step towards making the community Christian. We shall never be able to fully realize the effect for good this event will have upon our people. Because it touched many of the folks that the churches do not touch. The fine of march was very well arranged; I do not believe that any one given the same heterogeneous mass of untrained humanity could have done better. The commitment is to be congratulated for giving an amount of what can be done in the way of co-operation in religious affairs. The watched parade from the viewpoint of the spectator, he was carried back to the days of the Crusaders. But, strange to say that Norfolk was able to show a more Christian Spirit than the Crusaders for we had many churches and different denominations all working harmoniously together. It was a splendid example of not only church, and religious co-operation, but a racial cooperation as well.
It was, indeed, inspiring to see the co-operation of the business, professional, and laboring men all working together to make the community Christian. I believe the committee is to meet next Sunday to close up its work. But let us hope that it will not be the rather formulate plans through which spirit may be perpetuated, and that the effort out of this effort larger things in a co-operative way for our community. Another phase of the parade that deserves a great deal of credit was the way our noble women supported it. Notwithstanding the extreme heat these noble armor-bearers of social uplift were seen in line. The women from every vocation, the domestic, the business, professional, and public through marched bravely and gracefully through degree streets of Norfolk. This tells close observer that the burden of the needy is upon the hearts of our better thinking people.
Now that the initial step of co-operation has been taken, let the different business, social, and religious agents get into the field and follow up the effort for a Bigger and Better Norfolk.

The Norfolk Journal & Guide,
Norfolk, Virginia.
Dear Sirs:—
I have been a consistent observer of your comment upon the activities of the Negro Chamber of Commerce of Norfolk.
It is a commendable fact that such a worthy body of Norfolks' professional and business citizens have banded together in one gigantic effort to further the commercial solidarity of that community.
A foregone conclusion we are aware that the economic, financial, moral and physical status of every citizen (black or white) or any community, depends upon the live activities of its civic, business and welfare organizations.
The Norfolk Chamber of Commerce establishes a precedent for the entire Negro world.
May it thrive.
It will prosper.
Norfolk in its entirety is the beneficiary.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
his audience with his magnetic eloquence, sound logic and wholesome advice. Dr. Reed is a race man in every sense of the word, in that he is the promoter and the promulgator of everything tending toward the advancement of Afro-Americans. He is an advocate of independent thought and action by the race itself for its emancipation from the shackles of proscription. He is not an agitator, however, and there is nothing in his addresses which would tend to stir up strife between the races, but there is much in his addresses that would tend to promote harmony and a better understanding under the laws. Dr. Reed recently spoke at the First Baptist church of this city, of which Rev. R. H. Bowling is pastor, and, after hearing him, Rev. Bowling had the following to say:
"I know of no man who has a more encouraging and helpful message for the Negroes of America. Give Dr. Reed a chance to speak before your people, and they will admire you more, they will give better support to Negro business, to Negro churches, to Negro schools, and to Negro professional men and Negro leaders in general. They will become more hopeful and more confident, and they will be capable, more respect for themselves as Negro leaders." Rev. Dr. E. W. Williams, pastor of the Queen Street Baptist church, at whose church Dr. Reed spoke, had the following to say: "Dr. Reed is a lecturer of no mean ability, and will rank favorably among the best of our platform speakers. He may return to this church at any time with an increased audience." REV. R. K. D. GARRETT RECEIVES DEGREE
Rev. R. K. D. Garrett, pastor and organizer of the Garrett Temple C. M. E. church, had the degree of Doctor of Divinity conferred on him at the recent commencement of Payne College, Augusta, Ga.
Dutiful Young Woman Answers Last Call
Miss Ardella Reid, Favorite Among Friends and Relatives and Guide Publishing Company Employee, Dies From Sudden Illness
Miss Ardella M. Reid, one of the most faithful and beloved employees of The Guide Publishing Company, Inc., sister of Mrs. H. C. Young, died Saturday last at the home of her sister on Sutton street. From a sudden attack of stomaine poisoning.
Miss Reid went to her work apparently well and happy Saturday morning and had not complained of being ill until she fell to the floor in a faint at 10:30 a.m. She was taken to her home immediately, but all the aid that physicians, family and friends could render did not revive her and she passed away at 6 o'clock a.m.
Miss Reid was a native of Lynchburg and spent her early days there and with her sister, Mrs. W. H. Tate, of Washington, D. C., having spent the last seven months of her life in Norfolk with her sister, Mrs. Young. She was a member of the Asbury M. church, Washington, her membership been transferred to that church from Lynchburg. To that teachers and one brother, Mrs. Elizabeth Jefferson, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mrs. Emma Tate, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. H. C. Young, Norfolk, and Mr. Carter H. Reid, survive her. Rev. D. J. Lee conducted her funeral at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Young, Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, and her evening taken by Lynchburg Monday for a funeral was attended by numerous friends and beautiful head tributes attested the high esteem in which she was held by them.
There was never a more beautiful and loving character than Dell, as she was called by all who knew her—just as she was a friend to the beautiful sunshine and flowers she was a friend to humanity. Those who knew Dell knew but to love her. Regardless of sorrow or pain that might have at any time affected her life, her disposition was always "sunny" and a pleasant smile greeting always characterized her life. She loved others better than herself and there was never a sacrifice too great for make for those she loved. Uncomplaining and with sacrifice she loved and lived for those around her.
At all times she had an abiding faith in her Creater which gave her a predominating spirit of optimism—feeling that whatever happened, happened for the best, and that all would be well in the end. She was a faithful, conscientious worker at whatever task she undertook, and, her indomitable will power, at times, made her exceed her physical strength. As a sister she was supreme in her devotion and a flower of her family; as a friend, she was faithful and abiding. Her sudden illness and untimely brought to her friends and relatively such grief as is indescribable, and though she is asleep, to awake no more until in the life eleysian, the memory of her beautiful life will always linger in their memory.
The thought of Dell "Call to mind
That glory's voice is impotent to pierce
The silence of the tomb__ but virtue blooms
Even on the wreck of life, and mounts the skies."

"Subsequent to this, two Haitian journalists, M. Jolibois and M. Lanoue were arrested. A third, M. Thebaud, is being sought.
"It has become the Haitian newspapers protested against brutality, crime and un-American suppression that the new order was promulgated. Under such an order the marines can with impunity continue to terrorize the Haitian people.
"This situation is a return to the oppression which we had to endure during the first five years of American occupation in Haiti.

"It looks to me like you are bothered too much with these things."
"No, Sir, I tell you frankly that I cannot agree with you in that position which you take; neither do I think Mr. Daugherty will agree with you when he renames him."
"I cannot say to that."
"Well, if I can get no assurance from you, I have ample testimony to prove that colored clerks have been segregated and are still being segregated in the Department of Justice and also that colored clerks and other employees are even now requires to use separate water closets on certain floors, some of which (especially those in the basement) are plainly marked 'For White Men' and 'For Colored Men.' In the case of a person who has been humiliated by seeing those Jim-Crow signs right there in the Department of Justice, I will take Mr. Johnson's word for it and I will take the replies to inquiries made by certain employees of your Department, and now as I know your strangely unfair view of this matter, getting it directly over the phone from your own lips, and having tried in vain, time and again, to reach Mr. Daugherty on this subject, I cannot help but feel that we are handicapped to start with, and I shall govern of accordingly. I want to ask, Mr. Gibbs, I want to ask whether or not you will look up that letter I wrote Mr. Daugherty, and hand it to him to glance over and send me a word of reply."
Welt, I think it over,

The Associated Negro Press has received no further reply from Mr. Gibbs, hence he must be still thinking it over. It is still believed that Attorney General Daugherty has not received the letters and is not informed of the conditions in the Department of Justice.

by the St. Philip's (P. E.) Sanday
school of New York, to Marie
Smith of Brookfield ‘Center, Conn,
ranking student and valedictorian of
the class of 1921, said: “Sometimes
I fancy there are those who think that
Hampton Institute, in its zeal to mak :
strong character, ‘loses sight of the
Jimportance of scholarship.” We oftsn
quote General Armstrong's saying of
jthe enrly days: ‘We are seeking, not
so much to make scholars, as to make
men and women.’ Yet General Arm-
strong would have been one. of the
Quickest to refute any suggestion tht
Mampton Institute was not trying to
make scholars. We seek, above a,
to make men and women, but. good
scholurs can be and are good, strong,

Moderator J. H. Ashby, of.the Tidewater Peninsula Bapt. Association, Issues a General Call
Moderator J. H. Ashby, of.the Tidewater Peninsula Bapt. Association, Issues a General Call
To the Church and Brotherh through-the district Greetings:—
Dear Co-workers and friends, this letter will remind you that the time of the Twenty-Second Annual Session of our great Association is not far off. And if we are to live up to our past record, it is imperative necessary that you begin now (if you have not done so) to make preparation, and not leave the hope of our success contingent on chance.
The Association will meet Wednesday August 17th, with the First Baptist church "Lamberts Point" (Norfolk), Rev. David Jennings Pastor, and on account of the favorable location of the church it is expected that a large delegation will be present, and preparations are being made to that end. Let nothing hinder you from coming. The cause we represent is worthy of any sacrifice we may have to make.
We are grateful to our Heavenly Father for his goodness manifested, and blessings received. Tidings from the various parts of the district tell not only of the successes you have already attained, but of the splendid prospects which are still before you. We must accept the task which has been assigned us, "Go ye and make decipies of men." And as your standard bearer I feel that we can do this in a very splendid way by increasing our contributions for Education and Missions. Therefore, I am urging that we realize our duty and likewise our opportunity as never before.
The object of our Educational endeavor is our school at Lynchburg. We love it, and we support it, because it is ours. It represents the fore thought of our fathers, and the hope of their sons. That school believes and teaches manhood, self help and self control. We believe that the Lynchburg Seminary and College is to mould the sentiment that shall shape the destiny of the Negro in this country. New buildings now under construction make it necessary that we make our donations as large as possible. From the mission field comes a call clear and constant, and it must ever be remembered that to give the gospel to the world is our task. The State Mission Board needs funds in order to continue the work in Virginia. The Foreign Mission Board is planning to open a Station on the continent of Africa. Let us all share these responsibilities, not as a sacrifice but as a duty.
The Battle Cry for this year is $2,000 to be used for the causes above stated. Come and bring your part. Trusting that we shall see you all, and that the Holy Spirit will attend our every effort, beleive me to be yours; for Christ, and His cause.
J. H. ASHBY, Moderator, SJH

SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST CH.
Services in our church were beautifully carried out last Sunday. The early morning prayer service began at 6:30 with a number present. At 9:30 the superintendent, B. G. C. Madison, called the Sunday school to order. A large number was present. "The Children's Day" exercise was behittingly carried out. Miss Louise J. Hawks, musical directress, Mr. Clarence Ruffin and Mrs. Malinda Randolph, trainers. The collection was large. At 11:30 the pastor preached a wonderful sermon from 2nd Kings 6:16. The spirit was greatly manifested throughout the church, making all feel encouraged to put our trust in God. After sermon the pastor baptized. At 2:30 a large number assembled at the church to take part in the Sunday school parade. At 3 p.m. over 800 people marched from our church to join with the other schools in the parade. Aside from those walking, a large auto truck carried the "Cradle Roll." One carried the "Beginners," several others followed carrying those who were not able to walk the distance. A number of automobiles carried others. Each department was well represented, each class carried a banner, each pupil wore his class color. Rev. Madison led his Bible class of Men No. 1. Nearly one hundred men marched with this class carrying a beautiful float. The line of march ended with appropriate remarks by prominent speakers.
Owing to the parade our Communion service was put off until 8:30. At 7:30 Bro. Frank Burden led the covenant meeting. This service was much enjoyed. After this meeting the pastor gave the right hand of fellowship to 22 persons. We then partook of the bread and wine. Two visiting preachers were present with us. The day closed with much success for the Master and his cause.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
The large auditorium was crowded to its capacity last Sunday morning to hear the pastor deliver the Buccaneatre sermon to the graduating class of the B. T. Washington High School. Bro. Bowling used as a subject, "The Advantage of the Truly Educated," with reference to text in Proverbs 14:6. The essentials so vitally necessary in the safe conducting of useful lives were expounded by the speaker. The funeral of Sister Corn Warren Gregg was held following this service. The Children's Day exercises were held during the school hour in order to allow the members to participate in the union Sunday school parade, which proved to be the greatest religious parade ever held in this section. The B. Y. P. U. was largely attended. Services of special signifi
cance to women in the form of a triangle mass meeting were conducted in the evening, under the auspices of th Kenow Nothing Club, R. H. Bowling Memorial Circle and the Missionary Society. The congregation was greatly inspired through the profound and eloquent sermon by the pastor from the subject, "God Commands that we give Women' Justice." Don't miss services this Sunday. Everybody welcome.
WOMEN'S BAPTIST STATE
EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION
The Women's State Baptist Educational Convention of Virginia will, on Wednesday morning, June 22nd, convene in its 26th annual session with the Missionary Society of the First Baptist church, Newport News, Rev. A. A. Galvin, D. D., pastor; Mrs. Jante P. Galvin, president of circle.
We are asking every member and friend to do their part to make this greatest meeting ever held, both spiritually and financially. Let us as an auxiliary to the Virginia Baptist State Convention, whose president is Rev. T. J. King, follow that great meeting at Washington with a great enthusiasm. News for our State work. We know the great Humbles Hall is being erected to the glory and honor of the grand old State of Virginia. As women we must endeavor to do our part with the spirit of true womanhood and justice. Prayer is our noblest ministry; we can do things by prayer that we cannot do any other way. In prayer we are laying our work before God. Himself, and bringin' things to pass by The Almighty. Then let us think together for our great school at Lynchburg Va. Pray for that great President, and leader, Dr. R. C. Woods, who has brought things to pass in the work of this institution, and the countless host of workers of Virginia and the North. We have sent out hundreds of letters and cards asking you to join the Well Wishers Club of the Seminary, not fail to have your name and demands met, and we are going to hang on the wall! The Humbles Hall when completed, let us serve proper courage the women of his church to the part well in representing in the convention, ever remembering that every donation will mean a step nearer the goal for which we are striving, which goal is $10,000.
TRINITY A. M. E. CHURCH
Services last Sunday were singularly attractive. Being quarterly meeting day, we had the pleasure of having with us Dr. E. H. Hunter our presiding elder. He is indeed a man of dignity, force and ease of manner. He also possesses the qualities of triumphant leadership. Sunday being Children's Day he used for his subject "Is the Young Man Absolom Safe?" With an irresistable argument that was clear cut and convincing, and a wealth of picturesque language, he delivered a sermon that added much to our profit and delight. The evening sermon was strikingly impressive. The Children's Day program Sunday afternoon was of first rate merit. Those who participated are worthy of all praise. Monday night was the date appointed for our quarterly conference. Dr. Hunter presided with consumate skill. Reports showed that we are in a prosperous condition. Money raised this quarter amounted to $813.40.
METROPOLITAN A. M. Z. CH.
Our Sunday school on Inst Sabbath was largely attended and intensely interesting from the tap of the gong at 9:30 until the close of the service.

At the morning preaching hour the pastor, Rev. N. D. King, filled his pulpit and delivered an eloquent gospel sermon from the subject, "The Spiritual Anatomy of the Heart." At close of this excellent message there were three accessions to the church. At the evening services memorial services were held in honor of Bishop George W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C., and the following program was rendered: Mr. D. T. Lymn master of ceremonies. Hymn 1061, invocation, Bro.

The congregation came out in large numbers and listened to an eloquent sermon as usual delivered by Rev. D. J. Lee. The Rector was kept very busy last Sunday. After the morning service he made his way over to Truxun and preached the Baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class. There was a splendid attendance and the sermon was very acceptable to all.

The usual morning service at the Presbyterian church gave place last Sunday to the Children's Day program. While all the children interestingly, performed their various assignments under the direction of the associate superintendent, Mrs. J.

Visiting these young men is Mr. Radelite Lucas, of Atlantic City, N. J., a schoolmate of the Dungees.

The sole aim of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., is to render a Superior Service to its Policyholders and the Public; therefore it was natural that the Society should be the first to respond to the present-day need and demand from the public for a more modern plan of Insurance Protection—Better get yours today—Right Now.

The Right Hon. Fred. A. Toote,
A. B., Speaker of the Nnternational Negro Convention,
Captivates Norfolk With His Eloquence
Last Sunday ended a series of meetings in this city conducted under the auspices of the Norfolk Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of which Mr. Allen Hobbs is president.
THE WEEKLY NEWS
These meetings, which were staged
to several of the local churches, were
oute a success and hundreds of mem-
bers attended. The colors of the
red, black and green
The speaker, who, to the minds of every hearer, is next to the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey, the founder of the organization, has won the people of Norfolk for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This young man thundered forth and in his persuasive eloquence compared all great movements and their founders from the call of the first patriot, Abraham, down to the present patriot, Garvey, and showed that this great movement has come to stand the test of the time, that it has come out of the groomings of 400,000,000 sons and daughters of Ethiopia who are seeking liberty and freedom. He also said that to try to凑合 to arrest this movement is like to terrorize a stream in its course—it might be impeded in the moment, but it collects new life and flows on aid over every impediment, and that the new Negro is like that stream which is in every country, to fertilize if you will allow him, but on the contrary, devastation if he is trampled upon.
He said that this movement is contending for the same things that George Washington contended for—taxation without representation, and that the Negro need not look to any nation or people to work out his destiny but himself, and that they will never be respected as a people until they are freed from the permanent upon the continent of Africa and have a fing of their own that they may call on for protection and that there is no need of sending petitions to Washington against any outrages for it is only appealing from Caesar to Caesar. He also appealed to Negroes to get racial consciousness and in interested not only in politics and in education but in religion, showing them that among all of their faiths no one of the articles was written by black men.
We wish Speaker Toote Godspeed and a happy and long life to carry on the noble work and with the same force for many years even until his hopes have been realized, Africa re-railed, the continent and Green nailed to the topmost time. I am for African redemption...Allen Hobbs President, Norfolk, Va.

Davis and Thompson's musical comedy, "The Wiff Waff Wabblers," will open for the week's theatre at the Attueks theatre beginning Monday. The company is from Chicago, where it had a long and successful run at the Grand theatre. In commenting on the show Tony Langston, in the Chicago Defender, had the following to say:
"This is the best show seen on the Stroll for a long time, and it lives right up to the fine advance notices which claimed for it a laugh a minute, two acts of excitement and a bunch of class. It carries a small story, of course, and it is just serious enough to carry the artists from one scene to another. It tells of the elopement of the daughter of a wealthy farmer with a straightforward young man. The father had framed a match between the girl and a neer-do-well, not calling the true character of the man. The elopers lays the ground work for the artist, which carry you to many climbs. Both Amon Davis and Eddie Stafford work under cork, and their comedy is a bowl from their first appearance. The support offered them by Helya Davis, Ethel Mattar, Alfonzo Robinson, Alex Jackson, Tarold Douglas, Willie Jackson and Joseph Leggett is of the most capable sort, the latter doing some of her famous character work to fine advantage. The goes along in a rapid manner, the warts or other annoyances of the kind. The obstruction is hardiness and the girls of the crowd are careful and well drilled. And they can pretend. In fact, there is a world of singing of more than passing quality, and the work of the Wabblers Quartet is splendid in both topical and spiritual numbers. The biggest knockout of the offering is done by the comedians themselves their original rendition of Bert Murphys' famous "Jail House Now" number stopping the show. But there are other songs of merit, among them being "Home Town" by Alex Jackson; a couple of topical numbers by Miss Leggett; a new blue numbers by Helya Davis; "Once in a White" by Harvey Jackson; "Your Your Stuff" by Judin Ray; "Old Fashioned Garden" a novelty feature by Ethel Watts and girls; "Knuffa Bub" by Harry Jackson, and others. It is a show that will please everybody and should be taxing this house to capacity long before this reader reaches your eye. "The Wif Waff Wabblers" is some show."
Y.M.C.A. STUDENT CONFERENCE A SUCCESS
Y.M.C.A. STUDENT CONFERENCE A SUCCESS
148 Delegates From 44 Schools and Colleges Attended. Adressed by National Characters
Kings Mountain, N. C.—The ninth annual session of the colored Y. M. C. A. Student Conference has just closed at this place. 148 delegates from 14 schools and colleges representing 14 States were present during the ten days of the conference. The activities of this as of preceding conferences were designed to bring the delegates face to face with the moral and religious problems in the colleges and in the world of affairs; to strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ to save individuals and the social order to guide them in the choice of a life calling and to increase their knowledge and efficient use of the principles and methods of Christian work employed by Young Men's Christian Associations.
International Secretary C. H. Tobias, of New York City, presided over the session. "Personal Righteousness" was the key-noun. Various aspects of this question were presented by such nationally known speakers as Dr. J. E. Moorland, senior secretary of the colored men's department; Bishop Robert E. Jones, of New Orleans; Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee; Dr. M. W. Reddick, of Americas, Ga.; Pres. John W. Davis of Institute, W. Va.; Secretary J. H. McCrew of Atlanta, and Dr. H. C. Gossard, of Atlanta, secretary of white colleges in the South.
Especially noteworthy features of the program were the missionary addresses of Mr. S. M. Ekemo of Rhodesia, South Africa, and Mr. Max Yergan, of New York; the interracial messages of Dr. Plato Durham of Emery University, Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. W. W. Alexander of the Interracial Movement; the address of Pres. John W. Davis on "Campus Morale from the College President's Viewpoint"; and the practical messages on business by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, proprietors of Poro College, St. Louis, Mo.
In order to promote a larger measure of Democratic within the student Y. M. Barone, an advisory council composed mainly of students and professors, was organized with Prof. J. W. Barone of Union University at its head. Two representatives of this council, Prof. Barce, and Dr. Geines, a student of Howard University, were appointed to sit with the Student Department Committee at the annual meeting of the International Committee in Atlantic City next September.
The Council will meet annually in connection with the Student Conference and will share the responsibility of arranging the conference program and shaping the policy of the movement. Secretary Tobias declares that the organization of this Council is a very significant and timely action and marks an advanced step in student Y. M. C. A. work.

CUBS BREAK EVEN IN SERIES WITH CAPE CHARLES
Capain Raymond Bates Star Park Cubs split the Cape Charles series 50-50 by losing Friday's game to the Cape Charles Slides by the score 10-8. The Cubs were there with heavy enough hitting to win the game but rank umpiring gave it to Cape Charles. Batteries: Cape Charles, Pritt and Pritt; Star Park Cubs, Pope, Bates and Vandigo.
On Saturday the Cubs came back strong, demonstrating to the fans that they were the better of the two teams. Manager Noel took no slim chances and sent his best bet in to bring the victory to the Norfolk team. He sent in steel arm Farrell, whose underhand delivery completely baffled the boys access the Chesapeake. Frank Billy Vandigo caught in big league style while Chintz Johnson played the hot corner as a veteran third seaker. Manager Noel hated to place his third snacker in the box to pitch but he showed that he is as good on the mound as in the hot corner. "Cat" Moore on second base more than delivered the groods. Manager Noel has a right to feel proud of his splendid infield, Nash, at 1st base, Harry Moore, 2nd base, George Johnson at short, Clarence Johnson and Alonza Ferrell at the hot corner; and his slugging outfield consisting of John Nash, Henry Bates, Claud Butts and Big Brozier. With strong support from his team mates Ferrell brought home the bacon by the score of 3-2.
NORFOLK STARS LOSE
TO STAR PARK CUBS
Manager Noel's Star Park Cubs took the Norfolk Stars into camp by the score of 5 to 2. Tuesday. The game was replete with brilliant features executed by "Steel Arm" Ferrell, who had the strong Star team at his mercy, holding them to six hits and not allowing a man to reach the third base until the seventh inning, Johnson at third base, Williams at first base, Moore at second base and the old reliable Frank Billy. This group of dealers is as good as any infield Norfolk Stars, Pope, the pitching ace of the Norfolk Stars, failed to work his benders on the Cubs, the boys from off the hill driving him from the mound in the fourth inning after making seven hits, including a triple by Chronec Johnson, and four runs off his delivery. Smoky Joe was then sent in by the Stars to stop the slaughter but it was too late as the game had been stored on ice. The line up: Star Park Cubs—Chancey, 3b; Claude Butts, rf; Alonzo Zeller, 3b; Frank B, Vandige, c; Harvey Bates, 3b; Raymond Bates, ss; Leary Brown, 1f; Fred Ford, c; Norfolk Stars—Hurry, rf; Goo, Shorty, 3b; Johnson, ss; Raymond Evans, 2b; Noah Harrell, 1b; Josh Nixon, c; Allen, ef; Dan, If; Joe, p; Pone, p.
Batteries: Star Park Cubs—Farrell and Vandigo; Norfolk Stars—Pope, Smoky Joe and Nixon.
Umpires--Wright and Connie.
NEWS DOPE
Old Frank Billy still has his eye on the ball and as a veteran catcher cannot be beaten by any in Virginia.
Did you see his second base pegging and his tagging of a player at the home plate in Tuesday's game?
What do you say about old Catfish Moore in the second base for the Star Park Cubs? He can go Chapple Johnson one better. In the matter of guardian of the Keystone such.
Say, but didn't Chintz Johnson make the wise stand up and wonder at his super playing at the hot corner in Tuesday's game? Keep at it, old boy.
Too much cannot be said of the excellent class of ball being played by Claudie Buts, Marble (Soup) Ford and No. 2 Williams for the boys on the hill. You ask, what of Ferrell's pitching? We say, hats off to him—that's enough. In fact, Manager Noel and his able Captain Bates have a strong team and are ready for all competitors. Address challenges to John Noel, manager, 257 Star street, Norfolk, Va.
NORFOLK STARS WIN
FROM EDENTON GIANTS
IN EXCITING GAME
On Monday, June 13, in an exciting game, before a big crowd, the Norfolk Stars defeated the Edenton Giants by the score of 7 to 4. Big Lefty Mason, who was on the mound for the Stars, was too much for the down home boys, while Blount, who was doing the hurling for the Giants, was constantly in trouble through his wildness. Lefty, however, weakened in the eighth inning, allowing the Giants three runs, which, with their one run already won, gave them four. Lewis got his finger hurt in the sixth inning and retired in favor of Nixon, the Giants' catcher. The winning of this game makes a total of eight games won by the Stars this season. They have lost five games and tied two.

HARRISON AVE. HIGH
DEFEATS LEAL CLUB
B. J. C. Duanner
Roanoke, Va.----The Harrison Avenue High met the crack Leal Club ball team on the 7th of June, before one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds of the season. The Leal Club went down with the team for fifth inning, but Burrell tripped with two on. Big Walter Johnson Eggleston was up against John Brandon, the Great, and out-pitched him from start to finish. It was an easy victory for the school boys. Big Eggleston had the Leal Club at his mercy, allowing them only two hits and taking out 17 men. Young Star David Burrell was the other star of the game, for he sat to bat four times and hit one single, doubled a triple. He batted 1,000. Luke Bell came next with two hits, one single and a double. The catching of Adolphus Jones was excellent. The fielding of Jefferson when he caught a line drive of Hersey Stepteo's with one man on second, broke up the only possible chance that the Leal Club had scoring. The Leal Club and the Harrison stars this cross bots again on the 27th and caught gleston's speed and curves has caused 63 men to go to the "Strike-out" route in four games. The Harrison Stars have played seven games, won five, lost one and tied one.

Clever Counterfeiter Captured by Officers
Ocala, Fla., June 14.—A clever Negro counterfeiter who has given government operatives worlds of trouble for more than three years, has been caught by secret service agents in Ocala, Fla., according to information received at Atlanta headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is Roy S. Dorsay, of Ocala, who possesses, according to government sleuths, uncanny ability for trans-
forming $1.00 bills into ten spots, and who, they charge, has flooded the Southern States with bogus bills for a long period. Secret Service Agent H. B. Arnold, of the Atlanta office, the Ocatalina Train station, out of Ocatalina for training while the Negro was paying his fare with a fake $10.00 bill. Mr. Arnold arrested him and forced him to sho- him to his Ocala home. There the agent reported he uncovered a complete counterfeiting outfit. The man admitted his guilt, the agent said, and was lodged in jail in Ocala to await trial in United States court on various counterfeiting charges, some dating as far back as 1915.

"Before the colored Senegalese troops left the Rhine district for Asia Minor, on May 29th, 1920, one year ago, General Degoutte, one of the most famous French leaders of the Great War, commander in chief of the French forces in the Rhine Province, issued the following message: "The Senegalese Brigade leaves the French Army of the Rhine, called forth to an important mission on a point of exterior operation. I regret to see the departure of these elite soldiers; I was often able to appreciate their bravery, at first in our colonies, later during the war.
"Always and everywhere, the Senegalese have shown themselves worthy of their glorious fame; the compass and pacification of the Afro-Oceanic, of Madagascar, of Morocco, Disdime, the Dardanelles, the Somme, the Aisne, Verdun and the Ayrc, are their titles of heroism."
"Through the cordiality, the simplicity, the kindness, which they have proved in dealing with the populations of the occupied areas, we have the sympathy of all those who approached them. We have testimonies which make it plain."
