First Reports Of Christmas Seal Sale Richmond, January.—The Virginia Tuberculosis Association has received the preliminary reports from the sale of tuberculosis Christmas Seals in 53 Counties and 12 Cities in the State. Most of these reports are only approximate as all of the sub-agents heard from in the country districts. To date it is estimated that the sales in hese 53 Counties and Cities amount to $35,660.41. The sales in these same counties and cities last year amounted to $36,620.07, showing a decrease of $695.66, to note that the Counties sold more seals this year than last, making a gain of $512.24, while the cities sold fewer seals, showing a decrease of $1,471.90.

JANUARY 21, 1922 At a recent meeting of the Executive Board of Wilberforce University called by Bishop J. H. Jones, the chairman of the Trustee Board, plans were adopted for the rebuilding of Shorter Hall, which was lost on the ground after a careful estimate it was decided to launch a campaign for four hundred thousand dollars, that in the place of the building lost shall be erected one which shall meet the needs of this rapidly growing institution. It has also steadily increase in the environment during the past years, and this year hundreds were turned away because of lack of accommodation. One can well imagine then, the sore straights to which the authorities have been put, to care for the young men who were deprived of room, and to help them be both neighbors and friends were very kind and although a deal of hardship was experienced by the students) let it be said to their credit, that they for the most part, met the situation philosophically, and the work has not been completed. Letters and telegrams of sympathy have come in from every section, and the authorities wish to thank all for their expressions of concern. Many have already sent in contributions. I many have signified their willingness. A very splendid spirit has been shown by all, and the authorities at Wilberforce find that the race at AGRICULTURAL CONFERENCE President Calls Meeting Of Representatives of Agricultural Interests To Meet In Washington, January 23. (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Jan.—The third notable conference which has been called by the President assembles in Washington, January 23. This conference will be composed of between 200 and 300 conferences representing the agricultural interests of the country and interests closely affiliated with agriculture and dependent upon it. President Harding issued the call for this meeting after consultation with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and has left the selection of the personnel with Wallace. The purpose of President's statement is two-fold. It will give immediate consideration to the agricultural troubles, which are very serious; even though they are temporary, and which can be remedied quickly and effective action. In addition, it will take a more deliberate survey of the industries affecting the industry of agriculture, such as the coordination of the agricultural, manufacturing and general business interests, with a view to putting agriculture upon such a basis that never again will it be confronted with the distressing emergencies which have hindered it prostrate during the past 12 to 18 months. In order that this may be done more effectively, it is understood that the personnel of the conference will include not only members of farm organizations, commissioners of agricultural industries, growers, but will also include representatives of the packing industry, implement manufacturers and dealers, bankers whose interests are located largely in agricultural sections, grain dealers, elevator men, railroads, and such comes in close contact with the farming communities and interests. The President truly stated in his call for the conference that the agricultural depression which marked the year just closed could not have been avoided. But that fact does not mean that the state has taken to recognize agriculture, so to speak, in order that similar conditions may never occur again. In calling the conference the President has but followed his precedent in calling the conference last year to call for the establishment of an office and his calling the conference to discuss limitation of armaments for the purpose of promoting world peace and reducing the terrific burdens of taxations. The limitation is the keynote of the Harding administration, which is on record as believing that more can be accomplished by friendly counsel and exchange of ideas than by any other method. Whatever program this conference decided upon undoubtedly would have the effect of instillation and the Congress back of it to put it into effect. Dr. Scarborough Holds Conference (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. - Scarborough, formerly President of Wilberforce University at Xenia, Ohio, now serving as Assistant Economist in the Washington on business: connected with this Department. For several months past he has been maintaining Temporary Headquarters at Hampton Institute, Va., where he had held a number of important conferences with the Hampton professors, Negro agriculture from various parts of the country. Dr. Scarborough has been specially designated to represent the Department of Agriculture at the forthcoming Annual Tuskegee Conference of Negro Farmers to be held at Tuskegee Institute Ala. beginning January 11, 2014.

While in the city he, was a pleasant visitor in the office of the Jounrani and Guide large, feels a special interest in the institution which is the mother of educational effort fostered and maintained by our own people. Letters come from sister institutions offering aid, and from fellow known University, and from fellow with whom she sent a generous donation to President Grege for the building fund. Dr. Barker, of Dayton; the Red Cross, of Greens County; the War Depth, of Lake of Ohio and other friends; the War Depth, of bedding for the use of the young men; and Bishop John Hurst, of Florida, sent a check for $60,00, with immediate heed and promised his contribution, toward the building fund. Founders, Day will be celebrated this year on Friday, February 24, and if ever that day has signified anything to the students, faculty, and Wilberforceans out in the world, it should be of special interest. this year, the students will be accustomed the fathers, when Wilberforce suffered by fire in the early days, be manifested now, and may the funds that are so necessary for the re-building be sent in at once. May Founder's Day this year prove that every Wilberforce and every friend of the school will rally to its needs. Any monometer be greatly saved and happily presented to President J. A. Gregory or Secretary, C.O. Jenkins, and they will be acknowledged and accepted. CONCERT DRAWS IMMENSE CROWD Hampton Singers Entertain Three Thousand People of Both Races, Dr. Gregg Pays Tribute To Negro Music. Richmond—There were so many white and colored citizens of Richmond, some 8,000, who attended the recent Hampton Institute concert, which was given in the First Baptist church (Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor), that the singers had to do double duty and entertain an overflow audience in the church's lecture room. Between 600 and 600 persons had to attend the lack of room. Many men and women heard the singers from windows in neighboring buildings. The singers and speakers were received with great enthusiasm by the large audience. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, stated that the concert aimed to interpret through music something of the message of Hampton. And programs consisted chiefly of well-known plantation songs and simpler and more primitive or in their technically more developed form. "Certain elements of Negro folk music," said Doctor Gregg, "should be taken up and incorporated in anthems and other conventional compositions, and folk songs of Europe have been utilized by some of the great composers. "We also believe that the plantation melodies in their original style, because of their simplicity, their expressiveness, their artistic beauty, and their spiritual depth and power, are indisputably worthy to be preserved and cherished. Their unique value as practically our only native American language is nowadays being widely recognized by musical authorities. As Americans, we all should prize them and love them. "When we listen to the words of these old 'spirituals,' we are irresistibly impressed, moved, presuaded, their paths, their cheerfulness, their courage, their faith, and love. Their message is the message of Christianity itself. "If Hampton Institute can teach this, along with all the other things in our life, its students and through them to other students, it imparted the truest 'education for life,' and will have done something toward the establishment of God's kingdom of righteousness, peace, and goodwill. "This program included the following plantation melodies: 'There's A Meeting Here Tonight,' "Ride On, Jesus," "Little David Play On Your Harp," "Keep Me From Sinking Down," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," "Tunnel That," "Wasn't That A Witness," and "Fare Ye Well." Several modern chorales by Harry T. Burleigh and R. Nathaniel Dett were included. "Three colored members of the Hampshire Patterson, soprano, who sang Johnson's "The Awakening," R. Nathaniel Dett, composer-pianist, who played his own composition, "Incarnation," and Paige I. Lancaster, baritone, who sang No. No. No. O Israel," presented representatives of Hampton Institute Choir, Quartet, and Girl's Club. MOB BEATS MAN SEVERELY (By The Associated Negro Press) Texarkana, Tex.-Chrance Weatherly, Negro was seized by masked me, under the gaze of a large theatre crowd, and to some out of the place, and over the place, because, because he said he was told, "he had been fooling with a white woman."

Discusses At Length Inter-Racial Relations. Chicago.—At the recent annual meeting of the Federal Council of American Churches, which convened in Chicago on December 14th, one of the most important questions raised was that of inter-relational relations. The presentation of the subject was itself a concrete embodiment of the Christian ideal. On the same platform were heard four leaders from the heart of the South, two white and two black seeing the question of race relations from a Christian and common point of view. "We never knew Said Rev. W. W. Alexander and John J. Egan, of Atlanta, "how much racial prejudice and friction were due to lack of understanding between people we began to work with Bishop Robert E. Jones and a new other Negro leaders in the South. Nor did we ever realize before how much the Negro race has to contribute to the richness of our "national life." We never knew that the Negro people were Jones, of New Orleans, the first Negro to become a bishop in full standing in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Bishop George C. Clemant, of Louisville, of the African M. E. Zion Church, "that there were in the whole country so courteous, so devoted to true democracy, as we found certain white leaders to be when once we began to work with them." And Mrs. Luke Johnson, of Griffin, Ga., a member of one of the old aristocratic families who lived with deep feeling the Christians demand for justice for Negro women. All the speakers, black and white, agreed that the Christian Church, the possessor of the Gospel of human brotherhood, has the supreme opportunity and responsibility for bringing about justice and better feeling in the world. The speaker: "The Churches must unitedly undertake to combat race prejudice in America. They must see to it that race distinctions do not become race discriminations. A man must be judged by his character and his usefulness. Race. The Churches can give to the nation an opportunity to "excluding" the racial situation that misunderstanding and prejudice will largely disappear. Many intelligent people throughout the nation believe that lynching is for one crime only, and so condone this great nuisance, and figures for the last ten years will be less than one-third of the lynchings were for this crime. "No man can make me hate him," declared Bishop Robert E. Jones, in a dramatic moment; "nor will I lose heart, now that I have discovered that I am working as hard as I to secure justice for the Negro and that the Church is beginning to awake to its responsibility." Practical program of concrete activities for the churches were and it was urged that all the churches, colored and white, unite in promoting conferences for better understanding, in helping to form local inter-racial community work for racial justice and mutual support in the campaign of education concerning the Christian solution of the race problem. White Southern Newspapers Favor Anti Lynch Bill New York—A number of important white newspapers in southern states are lending their editorial support to h. Dyer Anti-Lynching, a group of news organizations made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Florida Times-Union of January 6, says, "We have very much to see South Carolina opposing the Anti-Lynching Bill now before Congress. We are as great a stickler for state rights as any of them but surely no one will be more right of a state to permit murder. We have the federal government take action of the enforcement of criminal laws in the states, but this is a case where the states are unable to enforce the law as it should be enforced and the federal government is able to enforce it. We therefore have lieve this matter should be handed over to federal jurisdiction." Another southern newspaper, the Greenwood, S. C., Index, says; "We do not know anything about the constitutionality of the proposed law but it is a step toward checking a growing and most serious evil." DEACON LIGGINS SPEAKS AT PETERSBURG, VA. Deacon C. H. Liggins of the Queen Street Baptist church spoke at the Tabernacle Baptist church last Sunday at eleven o'clock. He was introduced by the pastor, Rev. C. B. W. Gordon as the music man of Norfolk. He delivered an interesting address on "The Wonderful". In the afternoon Deac. Liggins accompanied Rev. B. to the Calvary Baptist church in East Yorkshire, where he delivered another instructive address. Deacon Liggins was very cordially received in Petersburg, his boyhood home. He was honor guest at a reception given by Rev. Gordon at his home on Halifax St. J. Frank Wheaton Noted Lawyer Dead End Came Suddenly At His Home In New York City. Prominent In Public Life Many Years. (Special to Journal & Guide) New York City, J. Frank Wheaton, one of the best known colored lawyers in the United States, died Sunday morning, January 15th, at his residence, 208 West 137th St., after a brief illness. He was fifty-six years of age and a member of the law firm of Marshall, Wheaton and Leavall. HAD BRILLIANT CAREER Mr. Wheaton was born in Hagerstown, Md. He graduated from St. Lawrence College, studied law and went west, locating in Minneapolis, Minn., where he built up a successful law practice. Feling the call to public service, he entered politics and was elected a member of the legislature of Minnesota, where he served with distinction. Mr. Wheaton located in New York City about fifteen years ago, and his brilliance as an attorney won for him an appointment as assistant district attorney with credit to himself and the race. In the colored order of Elks, he was an outstanding figure and served two exalted Ruler. His splendid personal magnetism, his oratorical ability and thorough knowledge, led the order did much to give it the national prominence it now enjoys. To everybody that knew him Frank Wheaton was a friend. He was highly cultured, a leader in his profession and always a busy man, but he was always kind, and he loved sympathies and filled with the milk of human kindness. V.N.I.I. CLOSES FIRST QUARTER V.N.I.I. CLOSES FIRST QUARTER Thirty Students Finish Courses December 16. Larger Numbers Than Ever Enrolled In Normal and High School. Petersburg, Vn.—The first quarter of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute closed December 16th. At least seven from the Normal Industrial School, one from the Normal School and seven from the High School. Eight hundred and fifty students were taken from the Normal School, two hundred and fifty in the Training School, making a total of one thousand one hundred students for the quarter. At larger numbers than the previous year, the Normal School-and-in-the-High School. Less than a hundred were enrolled in the eighth grade. This indicates that the two schools of the state, especially in the rural districts, are very much improved. The second quarter began December 19. Forty-three new pupils entered at this time. Of this number ten entered the Normal School and the second ten entered the Central School than usual was promoted to the next higher class. For the most part a more serious attitude of mind was with the students this quarter than in previous years. A much closer application of this ability was noticeable amongst the students. At the close of last year a campaign was launched by the students and faculty to raise funds to build a gymnasium at the Institute. The numbers of the faculty pledged more money than the amount being on this campaign. The students this year are making every possible effort to raise $2,000 towards this end. During the first quarter they raised within a few dollars of a total of $2,000, yet to be raised. The Institute is to build the gymnasium at a cost of twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars. It is to contain every possible modern equipment for the training and development of the young people at Institute. When $10,000, have been raised the gymnasium will be started. This year the agricultural department of the Institution has taken on new life. A new director of the farm has been secured in the person of Mr. C. J. Wartman. Mr. Wartman comes from Christiansburg institute of agriculture and a manager of the farm for a number of years. He is putting new life and energy into the Institute's farm and he bids fair to make it one of the best farms of its kind in the country. The teacher-training department of agriculture and the vocational department of agriculture are co-operating with Mr. Wartman in making the school farm a demonstration farm for the community. The Practice School that was begun last summer is completed and is now housing eight grades of the elementary school. These grades furnish practice for the girls who are in training. The girls are now able to do various activities and have good conditions—the school is one of the most convenient and most suitable of school buildings in the State for the purpose it is serving. This building is a center of the work of the normal school. The director of the normal school has her office in the school and all the teachers in this school and all the teachers in the school already indications point to very much improved work done by the girls in practice. We may well expect much better trained teachers now as they will have practice under very much better conditions. The teaching force of the Institute is selected by the teachers and colleges of the country. Aside from representatives of the best Negro colleges in the South the following institutions are represented on the teaching staff: University of Michigan, Michigan State College, Rhode Island and State teachers, College, Indiana State Normal School, Mnssachusets State Normal School (Continued on page four). Murderer Of Two Detectives Captured By Amos Newly Elected Magistrate Philadelphia The new Negro Magistrate not only stood for law and order in his micic (and safe) way as a judge in the city bench. He was willing to serve the performer of public office. He would know that to succeed would require probation. I hope he did. Now he lives Almos Scott also felt that a deed would be more far-reaching than the mere praise of one man. He could be told what the performance of duty when given a position of trust. This trait is a prominent one in the Negro character. Amos Scott felt the invulnible urge to a task aided by all he held dangerous — he did much, quite. He went to that rooming house willing—and in view, of Bobby's known record surely half — expecting—to lay down his life for these things. That providence aided him can hardly be doubted in circumstances, but that detracts no whit from his magnificence of his act. With deadly earnestness the Magistrate represents by virtue of his position as Negro Magistrate, the huge majesty of law abiding Negroes, was determined to prove that the crime had hurt the good name of law should be brought to justice. His race should honor the deed of Amos Scott, Magistrate. He is a heroic spokesman for Negro rights. He has done more by that act than he has hundred hired ovators could do in saving the world what to expect of the Negro people to come. Negroes everywhere should remember that and treasure it and their hearts. The act itself will be emulated many times by men or his own race. It has been equalled many times in the past. But the more sure his duties are noted and given their due importance to him, more they inspire others to respond to the call of duty when it comes to them. The deed of Amos Scott was not done in the excitement of battle or in sight of a multitude. It was deliberate and called for far more than he could do. He into death and had plenty of time to think it over and decide to do so his official, prescribed duty. The fact that Boddy was captured through three men of his own race has made a profound impression upon opinion in New York. It has made people here sit up and take notice in institutions such as the Methodist Episcopal Church, which have always given an substantial proof of faith in the Negro. I am sure that every one of the 3,000,000 members of this denomination who read of the part played by the教会 will provider the ever that he has on the part of the tainth faith. He is among the most prominent and honored men of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the pastor of the largest congregation in Methodism. NEGRO PAGEANT AT NEWAKE Newark, N.

IMPROVING HEALTH CONDITIONS Ever alert to measures that tions of the city, Dr. P. S. Schenck Public Welfare, has organized classed midwives, the purpose of which rate of colored infants, and obtainment of all births. The classes with Colored Health and Thrift Center Schenck and his staff will be assisted and nurses connected with the Health commissioner will have the cooperation and nurses in the city. All midwives the classes. It is due to the vigilance and partment of Public Welfare that health rating in the entire South fants appears excessive and is prob obtainable by the health department all deaths are reported, all births fact that so many births attended ported. Dr. Schenck believes that he has planned for the midwives all of them comply with the law but will result in greatly decreasing infants. It will also give the city has in the matter of infant mortality to births, as shown by the depart. The custom of reporting birth partment is a comparatively new what it may mean to the future of during the last ten years, such as child labor laws, inheritance laws, serious inconvenience and troubled children were not registered, as the or properly qualified midwife can necessary regarding birth registration. Dr. Schenck is doing many provement of the health of the city spirited physicians and nurses to the clinical work of the Colore other ways to foster preventive deserve the appreciation and whole for it is in the interest of the servants are working. MORE REASONS WHY THE BILL SHOULD BE A lynching occurred at Mayo. The victim was a Negro man. His white man in his (the Negro's) the white man doing in the Neg reports sent out from the little to say that he went there "to invest that to be true? Who knows that either in defense of his life or in home? A court of law would H. The mob considered only the fatal by a black man. It did not black man's home. It did not and law give a man to defend his Last Saturday night a color in Oklahoma City by masked man hanging by the neck in a tree or nature of the victim's offense is suppose that had he been accused mitted any violation of law, the in custody. These mob murders are act the enactment of the Dyer Ant pert to measures that will improve the city, Dr. P. S. Schenck, head of the care, has organized classes for the instruc-tions, the purpose of which is to check the infants, and obtain prompt and accurate births. The classes will be conducted at health and Thrift Center, and in the rest of his staff will be assisted by the color-connected with the Health Center. In fact he will have the cooperation of all the color-connected with the city. All midwives will be required to the vigilance and thoroughness of the Public Welfare that the city now en-gages in the entire South. The death rates are excessive and is probably so, in the city the health department. The facts are reported, all births are not, and this many births attended by midwives also. Schenck believes that the course of the need for the midwives will not only re-comply with the law as to the report, it will in greatly decreasing the death rate, will also give the city a better matter of infant mortality, as the proportion is shown by the department's figures from a comparatively new one, and few people mean to the future of their children. Last ten years, such as compulsory schools, inheritance laws etc. have put new convenience and trouble because the buree are not registered, as the law requires. Qualified midwife can furnish all the in-dering birth registration. Schenck is doing many wonderful things of the health of the city. There are a physicians and nurses, such as are give a general work of the Colored Health Center to foster preventive health measures, appreciation and whole hearted support to the interest of the people that these are working. REASONS WHY THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL SHOULD BECOME LAW. Living occurred at Mayo, Florida, Tuesday, was a Negro man. He was lynched by him in his (the Negro's) home at midnight man doing in the Negro's home at midnight out from the little town where the lynchers went there "to investigate a quarrel." True? Who knows that the colored man defense of his life or in defense of the court of law would have considered the considered only the fact that a white black man. It did not consider the black man's home. It did not consider the right to have a man to defend his home against it on Saturday night a colored man was taken in a City by masked men and later his body the neck in a tree on the outskirts of the victim's offense is not stated. It that had he been accused or suspected by violation of law, the authorities would have to mob murders are additional argument of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Ever alert to measures that will improve the health conditions of the city, Dr. P. S. Schenck, head of the department of Public Welfare, has organized classes for the instruction of colored midwives, the purpose of which is to check the mortality rate of colored infants, and obtain prompt and accurate registration of all births. The classes will be conducted at the Norfolk Colored Health and Thrift Center, and in the movement Dr. Schenck and his staff will be assisted by the colored physicians and nurses connected with the Health Center. In fact the health commissioner will have the cooperation of all the colored physicians and nurses in the city. All midwives will be required to attend the classes. It is due to the vigilance and thoroughness of Norfolk's Department of Public Welfare that the city now enjoys the best health rating in the entire South. The death rate of Negro infants appears excessive and is probably so, in the face of figures obtainable by the health department. The facts are that while all deaths are reported, all births are not, and this is due to the fact that so many births attended by midwives alone are not reported. Dr. Schenck believes that the course of training which he has planned for the midwives will not only result in having all of them comply with the law as to the reporting of births, but will result in greatly decreasing the death rate among colored infants. It will also give the city a better standing than it now has in the matter of infant mortality, as the proportion of deaths to births, as shown by the department's figures will be smaller. The custom of reporting births promptly to the health department is a comparatively new one, and few parents realize what it may mean to the future of their children. Laws enacted during the last ten years, such as compulsory school attendance, child labor laws, inheritance laws, etc., have put many people to serious inconvenience and trouble because the births of their children were not registered, as the law requires. Any physician or properly quailified midwife can furnish all the information necessary regarding birth registration. Dr. Schenck is doing many wonderful things for the improvement of the health of the city. There are also many public spirited physicians and nurses, such as are giving their time to the clinical work of the Colored Health Center and serving in other ways to foster preventive health measures. Their efforts deserve the appreciation and whole hearted support of the people, for it is in the interest of the people that these unselfish public servants are working. MORE REASONS WHY THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL SHOULD BECOME LAW. A lynching occurred at Mayo, Florida. Tuesday, January 17th. The victim was a Negro man. He was lynched because he shot a white man in his (the Negro's) home at midnight. What was the white man doing in the Negro's home at midnight? Press reports sent out from the little town where the lynching occurred say that he went there "to investigate a quarrel." Who knows that to be true? Who knows that the colored man did not shoot either in defense of his life or in defense of the sanctity of his home? A court of law would have considered these questions. The mob considered only the fact that a white man had been killed by a black man. It did not consider the sanctity of the black man's home. It did not consider the rights which God and law give a man to defend his home against invasion. Last Saturday night a colored man was taken from his home in Oklahoma City by masked men and later his body was found hanging by the neck in a tree on the outskirts of the city. The nature of the victim's offense is not stated. It is reasonable to suppose that had he been accused or suspected of having committed any violation of law, the authorities would have had him in custody. These mob murders are additional arguments in favor of the enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. "A Social History of the American Negro," by Benjamin Brawley. Published by The MacMillan Company, New York City. Price $4.00 including postage. This new history will be felt by many to be the most important book upon the Negro that has been printed for years. We have had a deluge of opinion on the question, deloed on us by black and white alike, but Brawley gives us a history, compiled with conscientious care and caring a long period of time.

Nevertheless, one would soon know that the book was either by a Negro or by one who "thought black" not because of the presentation of the facts but because of the facts themselves. We view the Indian wars, especially the wars of the Sepinoles, through the Negroes' eyes and learn that the Indian and the Negro raised among the Indians fought shoulder to shoulder against the efforts to make them migrate. Mr. Brawley concludes his chapter on the Indian Wars with the statement: "In the course of the Sepinole wars the rights of Indian and Negro alike were ruthlessly disregarded. There was redress neither before the courts, and at the end in dealing with them every honorable principle of men and nations was violated." The desire to get back runaway slaves who were received by the Indians and treated by them with far more humanity than they were treated by the whites, was a controlling motive in the desire of the people of Florida and Alabama to force the Indians to migrate. Mr. Brawley gives great, and deservedly great, importance to the slave insurrections of Denmark Vesey and Nat Turner. The terror that these men, especially Nat Turner, implanted, in the heart of the southern slave holder led to harsh legislation especially against the free Negro, but in the long run the Negro gained. Every time he made his hideous status known he helped the cause of anti-slavery. Another matter, new in the recital of the anti-slavery agitation as we have read it in white histories, is the story of the convention of Negroes held in Philadelphia, September 15, 1830, three years before the founding of the American Anti-Slavery Society. One reads here of great names of Bishop Allen, of Pennington, Shadd, and others. And at these first conferences were the white champions of freedom, Garrison, Tappan, Jocelyn. The book brings out with great clearness the rebellious Negro both slave and freeman. The characteristics that we applaud when we see them in the Negro youth today, their revolt against prejudice and oppression, Mr. Brawley shows very clearly were not missing in the much more dangerous and difficult days of slavery. There is an important chapter upon Liberia, a story of a brave group of pioneers whose difficulties were far worse than those that the Puritan fathers ever encountered. There were not only the immense hordes of natives, unfriendly from the first, but the European powers, foremost among them the British, ready to seize any unfair advantage and to steal from the new republic whenever they found it safe. The marvel is that Liberia has survived at all. I have said that Mr. Brawley is unemotional, but one chapter, that on organization and agitation ends with the wonderful story of Soujourner Truth speaking at the Woman's Suffrage Convention. "Dat little man in black dar," and Sorjourner Truth points her long finger at him, "he say women can't have much rights as man, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman.' But what did Christ come from?" Raising her voice she repeated, "What did Christ come from? From God and a woman Man had nothing to do with him." How much we have missed who have never seen Soujourner Truth! But her words can still thunder through the centuries and make the quiet historian's page glow with spiritual flame. There is much in the latter part of the book upon lynching and peonage and the author ends with an appeal for order and law. It is a pretty big task to compress the story of the Negro in the United States from 1876 to the present day in one hundred pages, and if Mr. Brawley seems less successful here than in the earlier part of his book it is not strange. It is always more difficult to deal with the near times than with those far away. Witness Mr. Wells, whose Outline of History is at its best before man appersions upon the earth. But on the whole we have an important, much needed work that contains a great deal of material, some of it new, with which we should all be familiar. It is a book that I wish might be in every white American's library and that I should think no colorate American could afford to have missing from his shelves. Some men are wise, others get married. Honesty is a good policy, but it doesn't pay a death claim. In all probability those future wars predicted by the Seers will be fought between tenants and landlords. Reformers claim that wine and beer have no medicinal value—neither has peach pie. The most wholesome complaint against the new dollar is; "They won't stack up,"—Sounds plausible. Let's hope that the front page publicity given the youthful New York criminal by the Negro weeklies was intended to reform the criminally inclined. When a man buys an automobile to satiate his craving to run something, he usually finds that he's stung and is still being run into debt. "We heard your wife was doing quite a bit of canning nowadays." "Yes," replied Prof. Brainstorm, "Every time I employ a peach of a stenographer, my wife cans her." A fool there was and he made home brew, even as you and I. He forgot to put on the bottle stops, he also left the cellar door unlocked an din there walked a Federal cop, even as you—not I. It's rather consoling to a married man when he views the monthly bills and thinks how hard it must have been for Solomon to pay the upkeep of 300 wives. SENTENCED FOR ATTEMPT TO Two white men and two women companions were convicted of an attempt to rob Wade Bryant, colored, of his seven-passenger car and were sentenced in the circuit court to pay fines of $50 and serve four months each in jail. On the night of October 20, John Holtzke and Alex Stricker were Bryant's allies. Mrs Kinnett and Mrs Haynes to a point in the county. About two miles beyond Portlock on the Great Bridge Boulevard. Bryant was stunned by a blow on the head and thrown out of the car. Bryant walked the car, but evidently did not know how to drive as the car was abandoned in a potato patch. The men and women were arrested the following morning near the North Carolina line. A. B. What a word! What does it mean? This has become one of the most familiar, popular and befitting words of today. It is expressive of better times ahead, when ease and harmony shall be evident in the human bosom, even to the extent that nations and governments shall reach the point, we trust, where weapons of warfare will no longer be in demand. Then that longed for prophecy that "swords shall be beaten into plow-shares and bayonets shall become pruning hooks" will be realized and enjoyed by all the upright in heart. The capitol city of our nation has become the hallowed spot for the gathering of one of the most distinguished groups of all times, upon an arrand that would do honor the visit of angels. These men of unusual brain and culture represent the nine leading governments of the world. Their vigilant endeavor is to curtail the possibilities of present warfare, with the hope of finally putting it absolutely, for all the future, out of commission. And God grant that this may be done. For what has warfare accomplished, except to bring sorrow, poverty, shame and woe? Should we ask the late General William T. Sherman to rise from his clayey couch and render his present opinion of warfare, no doubt the distinguished warrior would assure us that he had no reason to change his first declaration of years gone by—"War is hell." This spirited utterance is all the more impressive in considering the character of its author. General Sherman was bold and brave and distinguished himself upon the field of carriage with such a "wealth of daring designing, resourcefulness, brilliant strategy and untiring energy" during the Civil war, that prompted General Grant, his contemporary, to pronounce him the best field office that the war had produced. General Sherman's opinion of war just quoted above, reminds one of another man's picture of the last war. The gentleman in question, as a student of history, toured the war zone, about the zenith of the inexpressible cataclysm. He said, a visitor hailed from Mars or some other habitable planet, as guest to earth and that had he first landed in "No man's land," that surely he would have thought that he had lost his way, missed earth and gone to hell. With whatever allowance we may: be inclined to make for the apparent exaggeration in this matter, on the part of the men just referred to, the statements still remain as vivid warnings of the character of warfare. And yet the Satanic spirit of hell and destruction has always burned in many unregenerate hearts, reflecting such hatred, injustice, graft and greed as to make war possible. Thus this awful menace made its first bloody bow to the human family, on a small scale, in the ruthless death of righteous Abel at the cruel hands of his own and only brother. Ever since that day warfare has hauntedly stalked down life's high-way through sixty generations and its awful wake has been strewn with the blood and bones of men by countless millions. It is sad to note that with the increase of civilization and enlightenment has come also an increase in warfare. Many ages ago contention on the field of battle, with the use of sticks and stones gave place to the use of more deadly implements. And in this last war the death dealing weapons were so enhanced in their power to destroy, the matter was staggering to the most thoughtful mind. For that war truly witnessed the latest words in carriage on land and sea; under the sea and in the air, yeen, everywhere. How war does bespeak the blind cruelness and deprivacy of mankind. Suppose all the labor in all the battles of history had been given to the improvement of dear old terra firm upon which we live! In that event there would be no barren spot upon which one could set his foot, but all earth would even now bud and blossom like a rose. And if all the millions of money spent in all the wars of the world had been used for Christian education and missions, our day would not find upon earth, perhaps, a man or woman of necessity, in the darkness of ignorance and superstition, but the light of Christian civilization would be shining everywhere and men would study war no more. / So we trust that not only will there be a scrapping of the war or vessels of warfare, as a result, the great fortune in Washington, but that there will be also scrapping of the evil implements in the hearts of men. For that is where the real trouble has always been, Guns do not, of their own accord, shoot; nor do swords ever unsheath themselves. So the important thing is for the satanic implements in the hearts of men be scrapped and the armor of God be installed in stead thereof. The mere scrapping, then, of war vessels will not prove to be an adequate remedy for the direful situation, in question, in as much as "the kingdom of God comes within." And should fail to receive the kingdom of God that it may come from within, be assured that the kingdom of the Devil will do so. A firm grip of the gospel of the Son of God is the only effective remedy for disarmament in the heart. It is to be hoped that the spirit of disarmament will increase in prevalence and popularity until all phases and all extents of the wrong kind of armament be no more. It is so discouraging to the thoughtful ones of the Colored people of this country to note that after the war when it was universally said that 'all depressed people would come into their own, that even now since once more black men have evinced their valor upon the field of blood, in far off "no man's land," that our people are still being mobbed and burned, men and women, contrary to all law and justice without being allowed a fair trial. There are millions of us praying that disarmament in this direction will also take place and that the Dyer bill may pass, presaging a better day for one of the most tender hearted and kindly disposed people in all the world. It is very hard to understand how that any man who occupies the place of a statesman can oppose the Dyer Bill unless he be all ready to install something that he regards as being better in prohibiting lynching. History and experience certainly teach that mob violence has signally failed as a remedy for the decreasing of crime. We are anxious for the final cessation of both the cause and the crime of mob violence, to soon take place. And all Christains must be desirous to see the time soon come when murder and blood-shed of all phases shall cease to be. It is simply alarming to note the much murder and man slaughter of our country, the land of the free and home of the brave." May this spirit of disarmament continue until men will be actually prohibited from, carrying concealed weapons, except officers of the law and the factories that are making such firearms be turned into other and more worthy lines of endevour. Headlines and Crimes (By Wm. Pickens (Associated Negro Press) Crime has no more to do with race and skin color than it has to do with height and hair color. And yet in our psychology we are constant in lying crime and race. Why? Because of newspaper headlines and emphasis. "PAROLED NEGRO KILLS 2 DECTECTIVES". This was a super headline in the New York World, pagewide, and the very first one I personally wrote for the name and date of the paper itself. Every human mind that read it, associated "Negro" and "Crime", two ideas that have no more need to be associated than the two newspapers "Avenga" and "crime" or any other two causally unconnected ideas. That is exactly the damage that southern newspapers have done to southern psychology; caused it to conceive of the effect. Northern newspapers can easily do the same thing. Well, what should the world have said in its scare head? (This: PAROLED MAN (OR PRISONER OF NORMAL) KILLS 2 DECTECTIVES Then in the detailed accounts, among the other irrelevant items and ideas, the reader could have found out that this particular criminal Happened to be Colored; just as, perhaps he happened to have a wart on his nose or brown shoes on his feet. And there would have followed no improvement in the shoes the shoes had any causal connections with the crime, but that they only designate and describe the individual criminal. But we cannot play up Race with the same display we play up Crime, without causing the race of the criminal to be equally culpable with his crime,—in the psychology of the average man. This is what causes inocent Negroes or innocent Jews to be mobbed by white men, a member of their race with whom they do not even have personal acquaintance. it is because the race itself was ingrained into the idea of the blameworthy. The same thing happens in the mind of children (and older folks) when they see certain types or races violently and often as villains. Only last night when the screen was showing a Chinaman of the underworld welding a great knife (to help one person) and killing a man we heard a ten year old Colored child of the audience remark: "Those old Chinese and things are always trying to kill somebody. Accumulation of headlines like that in the world can produce a riot like that of Atlanta, or Chicago, or Tulsa. Atty. Perry Howard Makes New Record Washington, D. C.-Perry W. Howard, Assistant U. S. Atty. General has made a new record in his department. He has more cases on his docket than any other assistant attorney general, and of a total of six demurrers in the Supreme Court remarkable record. Attorney Howard has been placed in charge of railway cases against the government! Save Not—Have Not "HISTORY OF THE NEGRO CHURCH," AMONG BEST SELLERS Washington, D. C.—Victor R. Daly, Business Manager of the Associated Publishers, Inc., the largest firm of book publishers yet organized by Colored people, in an interview with representatives of the press here today predicted a sale for Dr. Woodson's new book, "The History of the Negro Church," that would rival the sale of any book among Negroes since "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Asked for his reason for such a sweeping statement, Mr. Daily stated that although the book had not been off the press more than a week, and had hardly had time to reach the hundreds of agents, schools, colleges and church organizations that were waiting for it, yet the demand for it was so great that practically the entire first edition was swallowed up in advance orders. To substantiate his statement, the Business Manager exhibited a stack of orders not only from agents and private individuals but from schools and colleges where the book is to be used as a textbook from Bishops and high churchmen ordering immense numbers of copies for use in church organizations and kindred religious activities. "But this is not the main reason why the book is sweeping the country like. wild-fire" continues Mr. Daly, "this book, of course, while of great interest to churchmen, the clergy and the scholar, is primarily intended for the laity, for the man-in-the-street, who is not only anxious to knew something authentic about his own history, but who wants to have at least a conversational knowledge about some of the leaders of the church about whom he knows only the name, besides this he wants to know about the great epochs of the church history, the reasons for so many different denominations, the attitude of the modern Negro church toward politics and race advancement. In addition to all of these facts so vividly and clearly stated by Dr. Woodson, the book is full of illustrations and photographs that up to now have never been portrayed. These factors, combined with the great interest of the colored people in the church, account for the unheard of demand for the book, that will probably rival the sale of any book to colored people since Mrs. Stowe wrote "Ulcee Tone's Cabin." In conclusion Mr. Daly stated that the success of this new book, marked the beginning of a new era for the race, in that it afforded Negro writers and authors an opportunity to publish their books without having to submit them to the oft-times hostile censorship of white publishers, not to pay these same publishers exorbitant and usually prohibitive prices for the publishing of their works. The Associated Publishers, Inc., was organized to fill this need. The success of their first book, "The History of the Negro Church," which is already more than assured, shows the way," says the Business Manager, "that Negroes are rallying to the support of their own enterprises when they are properly organized to supply a demand." HALF MILLION FOR MEHARRY Nashville, Tenn.—The sale of City View Sanatorium removed all obstacles for securing an additional endowment of $200,000 for Meharyn College.

If a sufficient number of teachers make application special classes will be organized. All classes in the Institute will be open to persons who desire to enter. Terdinand Q. Morton Appointed Civil Service Commissioner (The Associated Press Press) New York, N. Y., Jan—the biggest appointment of an able colored chief of the New York Mayor, was that of Ferdinand Q. Morton to be a civil service commissioner of New York City. The appointment was a partial recognition of the tremendous black vote which Mr. Morton as chief of the United Colored Democracy had led into Tammany Hall at the last election. The recognition of one of the most able and popular Democrats regardless of race in New York City. "The appointment of Morton was to the place on the commission of the three guardians of the civil service held by Commissioner Killilea. The commissioner consists of Commissioners Kaplan, Mancuso, and the last named a Republican. His appointment means a great step forward for the colored citizens in New York and a larger place for them in the city employee. It is generally believed that Morton was named a magistrate to succeed John Mancuso, but the alternative was given him after another was named as the commission portfolio. Mr. Morton was born in Mississippi in 1882 and his family at an early age. Washington, where he attended and graduated from the public and high schools. He entered Harvard College after graduation and later finished Boston University Law School. He came to New York and entered actively in the law and plunged into politics. His rise has been meteoric and deserved. It is not known as to who will be given Mr. Morton's place in the District Attorney's office, but it is rumored that Attorney James McCleondon gave one of the deputy assistants. Alderman George W. Harris, who was given his certificate and sworn in for his second term two weeks ago, has taken his seat in the front rank of Republicans in the Aldermanic Chamber. He was the recipient of many congratulations. GALLSTONES RECIPE FREE Most Stoutmen are of GALL STONES equally subject. F. MENEES, D.C. Dept. 6 Hales Curtis, W.

Custis, Principal ATHLETICS AT UNION Coach Harold D. Martin, "The Idol of Norwich University", and the little pigskin wizard, who gave Virginia Union University priority of footballdom this season among Negro Colleges, has just announced Union's athletic program for the midwinter and spring season. Last week Mr. Martin called a meeting of the Athletic Association to formulate plans for continual enhancement of the Red and Steel's reputation in the athletic world. At this meeting "Scrapy" Barkedale, All-American tackle of the past football season was elected captain of next year's football team. A. A. Branch, the fast outfielder, who was shifted to second base last season, was elected captain of this seasons' baseball team. Both captains are working with their coach in his effort to maintain the unique distinction that Union earned itself in the past season's grid contests. Coach Martin says that with such men as Pope Gregory, Allen Jackson, George McDonald, Clarence Jackson, and Corruthers he believes that Union within a moments notice, could whip into shape a basketball aggregation even more formidable than Vandals of the Grid. The mid-winter season has crept upon Union and found it unprepared because of inadequate funds to met the issue. Thus Coach Martin's plan for a "Quint" falls thru and Union will have to wait another year until increased appropriation from students or alumnae or funds from philanthropy will support such an endeavor. Altho a Union Quint is quite unlikely for 1922, sport fans will have to wait only a few more weks before they'll see Union's baseball machine slowly perfected. Much of the old material is back and quite a few youngsters of no mean quality from other schools are expected to try out. To the delight of the fans, Herbert Thompson is again in school and promises to show the old form on the ground again this season. Union's great loss beyond a shadow of a doubt will be the loss of the fast third sackman, "Red" McQuinn. This position will possibly be weak for a while but in all likelihood as the season progresses Brown or Barkesde both of whom aspire to the position, will slowly harden. With the old warriors, A. A. Branch, F. D. Johnson, R. W. Green, Allen and Clarence Jackson, "Rat" Adams, Pope Gregory, L. F. Jeffries, H. Thompson and Rudolph Brown still at Union, the future seems quite secure. The dial of Union's baseball prospective points to another championship team. K. of G. NOTES The Supreme Board of the Knights of Gideon met in the office of the Supreme Lodge at 2:30 p.m. on the above date, the Rev. J. J. Mainor, President of the Board, presiding. The following members of the board were present: Rev. J. J. Mainor, Geo. K. Jones, F. E. Puryear, E. J. Puryear, Mesdames, M. E. Miller and J. F. C. Ashburn. Notwithstanding the financial condition of the times, labor troubles and the inability of the farmers to sell their products in sections where the society has its largest holdings, the Supreme, Scribe, Mr. F. E. Puryear's report showed a substantial increase in membership and finance, within the quarter just ended. The Supervising Mother, Mrs. M. E.

Mr. Hart admits that Dixon will probably make a lot of money. He is sale to have received already an offer to $20 million, and 56 royalty royalties on every trap sold. Dixon said he patented his trap last July. Just to show how much rats liked it, he said, he entered two in a competition at the Commercial Club in Nashville, and in one night he entered and fifteen in the small one. Only one other trap entered caught any rats, and that got only one. Dixon said he had other inventions that ought to pay him better than this one. He did not know whether he would keep his job after he got the patent. He had to have to do something for he had worked too long to be able to quit.

French General Aids Cause of Blacks Paris, France. "An end must be put to this absurd legend of the inferiority of the black race. It is based solely on the tradition of slavery and is not at all flattering to the white races." So declares Gen. Mungin, whose utterance is the most authoritative of those who have written about the blacks, following the winning of the Goncourt literary price by the Martinique writer, Rens Maran. Mangin is the great champion of the black army theory, holding that only by training and arming her colonial subject, he can force her face of more populous,豪many. Their fighting value, he proved in the war, for "Mangor" Mangin's colonial army was always in the thick of the French offensives. He was a soldier, a man of courage for the colored races during the 20 years he spent in colonial military and administrative commands. He is not merely a soldier, but has considerable competence in literary talent, which gave him on account of among the Negro races. "There really is an intellectual elite among the blacks, whom liberty has introduced to our culture," he asserts in an interview w. "And experience has increased the ability to excel in every domain of human activity."

Dawson) We wish to let you know something of Race activities at Smithfield, N. C. Negroes are alive here to all the leading issues that should claim the interest of the race. There are several Negroes here in business and are doing well. Among them are Mr. T. L. Bryant, Mr. John Jones, Mr. G. H. Harris, Mr. Hyman Fort, Mr. James Obey, Mr. A. F. Sanders, Mr. Thiogen, and Mr. Lem Brown. These men are the masters of small but sturdy skills of commerce that are to be instrumental in bringing us to that independence which the race stands so much in need of. Our leading physician, Dr. Furlong has brought much credit to the race by his mastery of stubborn disease. The principal of our school has won for himself the high and lasting esteem of an appreciative community. Prof. William Cooper, our principal has by his abiding faith and undaunted courage secured what I believe to be the best school facilities for a community of this size in the state. We have now in the course of construction a modern brick structure containing fifteen class-rooms and an auditorium of five hundred seats. When completed it will take rank easily with the best Negro school building in the state. A high school department has been added, several having graduated from the eleventh grade last session. * The churches of Smithfield are credited with the disposition to affect and the power to achieve, and the actual ac- complishment of great work both in the individual lives and in the composite life of the community. There is located here one Baptist church, one A. M. E. Z. church, one A. M. E. church and one Christ Disciple church. All are pastored by men of character and vision. Each congregation is seeking to outvival the other, but it is a friendly and helpful rivalry. * We want the Journal and Guide in our town. We believe it to be one of the best Negro weeklies in the country. * We are asking that it be remembered that we stand for progress along all lines, and especially in the matter of getting knowledge of the Negro before the Negro. * The Rev. Daniel L. Reed, Ex-Lieutenant and Chaplain, U. S. Army, Preacher and lecturer was with the pastor and members and friends of the First Baptist church, Smithfield, N. C., Jan. 8. He preached two profound sermons to appreciative audiences. On Monday evening, Jan. 9, according to program the doors of the First Baptist church were thrown open at 7 W W HIJA QUINNELLE BROWN CHEESE PACK 15 CENTS MISS FLORENCE COLLINS says hi-LI- Quineil Hair Dressing and hi-LI- Ointment made her beautiful.

It blocks the wheels, it clogs the machinery, it tangles up the affairs of nations, when that motive is allowed to become dormant." Fatally Wounded Chicago, Ill.-William A.

The womans opponent of Dover and Promoter Doyle, of Omaha, Carr's promise to Gary promoters to show Tate is holding up acceptance of any one of the offers. Carr was loud in his praise for the result as a result of the Portland match. "Tate won the title by winning the first fight on a foul," Manager Carr said. "The referee was honest in his decision, but the crowd which had expected to be watching until disappointed in the fight terminated in the first round. "I was asked by the promoters, for the good of the boxing game, to agree to a second match. This I did and Tate went into that fight with everything to lose and nothing to win. I was hit with the crowd, hit with the crowd, who received him warmly as the colored heavyweight champion of the world. A. & T.

Davenport of A. & T. College, blew his whistle and the two teams began matching wits and skill in dead canest. Greensboro counted first on a foul goal, Danville dittoed. With Cris Gillespie going at lightning speed Danville was soon in the lead by a good margin. Cris' dexterity was wonderful, whenever a Tarewel made a plunge at him to spoil his chance Cris would make a quick duck and his antagonist would hit the floor hard, as if knocked cold by one of Jack Johnson's famous upper cuts. Like Murphy, Danville's erstwhile baseball manager, in pegging 'em to first, Cris can shoot a goal better running or falling than he can stand still. Undaunted by Danville's lead the Greensboro boys keep in the game and by the time the first half had cleared they were within two points of their rivals. Danville 15. A. & T. 13. Then came that fatal second half, Danville allowed the visitors to make 18 scores in the second half, while the best she could do was six counts.

Danville allowed Greensboro to count 15 by foul goals. Final score A. & T 31, Danville 21. Referee Prof. R. R. Davenport. Wilberforce Defeats Hampton 24 To 18 (By Charles H. Williams) By Charles Winnigan Hampton, Va.—Wilberfree University defeated Hampton Institute 24 to 18 on Hampton's court on Saturday, January 7, in what spectators declared to be the most thrilling game wined at Hampton in the last two years. From the beginning of the game until the sound of the timekeeper's whistle there was great defensive playing by both teams as well as wonderful passing and spectacular shoting. The brilliancy of play brought the spectators to their feet constantly as the two teams battled for supremacy in their first intersectional clash. The first half ended 11 to 9 in favor of the visitors. The score was evened early in the second half, but Wilberforce again took the lead and held it throughout the game. With two minutes to play and the score standing 18 to 20, the Ohioans clinched the victory by making two sensational shots from the center of the floor. The game was clean and hard- fought throughout. It was a fine demonstration of sportsmanship of the highest type. Sanders R. F. Hull Lovett) L. F. Fisher Cornish) Hudson Watley C. McGeo Gunn R. G.

School of Journalism Hears Spirited Address (The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill—The Rev. Charles Monroe Sheldon, 64 years old, rosy, cordial, emphatic, lectured before the Medi School of Journalism on the American newspaper as he would have it. Twenty years ago, the editor of the magazine the Oprah an opportunity for a week to make the Capital the kind of newspaper he (the dominic) thought Jesus would like. The experiment aroused much talk from end to end of the country. It did not establish any enduring precedent, nor could it in so brief a time. He talked to the Medlians along the lines and in reminiscence of the interesting experience of twenty years ago. There was in what he said much practical sense and much that for a fallible and livly world seems purely idyllic. The audience gave him close heed nearly an hour and a half. Here are detached specimen paragraphs: "The newspapers report a great deal of crime. Well, the Bible reports a great deal of crime. But the papers don't do it in the way To David's adbultery and murder it gives a few lines, but to the prophet's rebuke of David's crimes it gives several pages. "SAME IMPORTANCE NOW." "That was important. It would be important now—not the morbid and horrible details of the events of the gutter into your home, but the reason of the crime and the rebuke, the reason of the holdups, and the survey of social conditions that cause them. And all that not in the remote and occasional editorial, but emphatically, although under the brief account of the crime. "I am for the signed editorial. It would add to the interest. I am for the signed news article too. It would make the reporter more careful about his facts and more choice about his facts and more choice about his signature that week in Toneka. It worked to the benefit of all concerned—all." Limitation of Arms Conference Makes Little Progress (BY The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.-William Pickens, a contributing editor of the Negro declares "Those who expect little of the Disarmament Conference, seem about to be justified,—and those who hoped for much, about to be disappointed. In the first place, the gathering god of disarmament', and called itself 'limitation of arms',—or better more technical still, the arms parley. That is what it is: an arms conference,—really trying to make a better and more economical arrangement of its weapons, and aid of them. It is as if thugs of rival gangs had gotten so weighted down trying to carry more guns and ammunition than their foes and had suddenly found the burden unbearable and too heavy. It could effect 'gentlemen's agreement' or some other such contract to burden themselves less,—to carry fewer guns, just enough to do the necessary killing with, for example. Then they could agree on a proportion of the weapons which them in statio quo ante. And they could effect this agreement as to heavy guns, which were so burdened to them all, but there was strong objections to any limitation on the number of types of light guns which were hardly in ambushing and bush-wacking (submarines and war-planes.) "The 'civilizing' of the crime all looks toward the relief of the gangsters and not to the prosecution and security of the public. A REDUCTION!

Murder cannot be reformed: War is murder, when one 'innocent man is made to kill' any innocent stranger to him, when he is forced to lend happens to disagree with some school of things about which both of them know little. Who can make a nation, when it is filled with itself, use war munitions and air bombs respectfully? The reason why the Germans beat the English to the use of Zapplies and poison gas, is that they had the Zeppelin. No weapon is too terrible in a death struggle, if the weapon be in reach. Washington, D. C. Jan—In addition to being a masterful politician, first-class lawyer and a good fellow, Attorney-General Daughterhose has provoked a philosopher. This is evidenced in his writings recently of several wholesome proverbs, seven of which follow: If a man does the right thing, he will have the help and approval of those he knows him and if he does not do the right thing, he doesn't deserve it. "The world never turns against a man until after he has turned against the world, and it is never too late to do it." "A man owes Society, his country and the world more than it owes him and more than he can ever pay." "If one has self-respect he will not go for wrong." "If respects others he will do them no injury, either in person or property." "In this country one man has the same freedom and the same rights as another." "Some man owes the same degree of loyalty to his country and the same obligations to society." Attorney Daughterity concluded with: "Let us hold up our heads and be of good cheer. Let us love God and be grateful. Let us obey the laws of our country and let us obey the Ten Commandments." Rousing Send Off For Eugene V. Debs (By The Associated Neuro Press) Washington, D.

This offer also applies to renewals of old subscriptions. candidate for President on the Socialist ticket, has produced a new angle in nation politics at this time. Debs has been fearless in his denunciation of American racial prejudice, and has won the silent, as well as active admiration of thousands of Negroes throughout the United States. It is altogether likely that in a short time the veteran agitator will "burn loose a barrull full," on Negrohobin. Politically, leaders are frankly alarmed at the situation, and are "sitting tight," wondering what may happen. When the prison doors closed on Debs at Atlanta, the Socialist leader wept—deeply touched by the scene he had just left. A most remarkable demonstration attended his departure from prison. All institutions in the prison had been suspended in his honor and the 2,300 inmates were permitted to give him rousing "sendoff." As he walked to the warden's office to receive his final release cheers from 2,300 roats echoed through the great stone building. They stood at the windows and heeded again as he entered the warden's automobile and rode out of the prison into freedom. Early in the morning he had said arewell to most of them individually. They embraced the "best beloved prisoner" as Dobs was known in the Atlanta institution and wept as he parted from them. One youth swooned in his arms. The last farewell was said to Sam Moore, Negro, who has been an inmate of the prison for thirty years, sent there from Washington for murder committed while he was a boy. In the prison Debs was known as the "guardian of the Negro inmates." He and Moore had struck up a close friendship during the three years of his confinement. Debs kissed the black man as they parted and both broke down. "Same Moore deserves to be out more than I do," said Debs later. "I had a chance when I was young. never did. One young Negro simply made last request of the Socialist leader. "Brother Debs I want yo' to write a love pome for me so's I can send it to my best gal," said he. "And you bet i'm going to do it as soon as I get back home," Debs anounced. "Never wrote a love poem, but I shall do my best." Noted Pugilist Victim of Pneumonia New York, N. Y.—Sam McVey, Negro heavyweight pugilist, died today in a local hospital, a victim of pneumonia, McVey, one of the most formidable of Negro heavyweights during his ring career, was born in California in 1885. Standing close to six feet in height and weighing 200 pounds, he possessed torrific punching power, more than the average boxing kill and ability to take heavy punishment without faltering. His first appearance as a serious heavyweight contender, was in 1903, when he fought two twenty-round contests with Jack Johnson, losing both bouts on decisions. His ring record is remarkable for the number of bouts with Sam Langford. During the decade beginning in 1911, McVey and Langford fought twenty contests, ranging from short no-decision bouts to twenty-round counters. These were staged in all parts of the world from Australia to South America. Langford was the victor in a majority of the battles. Recently McVey had appeared in the role of trainer and sparring partner for Negro and white heavyweights. Despite his 36 years he retained his boxing skill and hitting powers.
