IF NORFOLK VOTES FOR PORT BOND ISSUE MORE WORK AND BETTER TIMES WILL COME SOON Three Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars Will Be Expended at Once By City In Improving Harbor and Building Municipal Docks and Facilities For Taking Care of Export and Import Shipping. On next Tuesday, February 7th, the people of Norfolk are to vote for or against a $5,000,000 bond issue for the city to provide additional port terminal facilities. There are many reasons why the voters of Norfolk should overwhelmingly approve the bond issue. If it is authorized it will provide the means needed to start the wheels of industry and commerce moving in Norfolk. The bond issue on which the people of Norfolk will vote will be for $5,000,000 but the preliminary plans prepared by the Port Commission call for the expenditure of $3,800,000. The additional $1,200,000 for which authority is asked will be available to provide additional facilities if the growth of business showed them to be required quickly. Preliminary plans, as submitted to the Council by the Port Commission, provide for the following facilities; pier and sheds with 500,000 square feet of warehouse space, $2,550,000; two open pier berths, $350,000; grain elevator of 750,000 bushels capacity, $650,000; berth serving grain elevator and open storage space, $250,000; total $3,800,000. Nearly four million dollars spent immediately in the construction of port terminal facilities, such as piers, docks, warehouses, etc., will give employment to an army of men and provide a payroll that will put money, in circulation in Norfolk to relieve the low ebb of general conditions here. It will solve the unemployment problem. Only a few days ago the city papers carried a story about an able-bodied colored man with eight children, the youngest of which was a week old, who had not earned but eight dollars since January 1st. Such a situation could hardly exist again if the voters of Norfolk approve the bond issue next Tuesday. Norfolk has had to depend too largely upon government activities. It has been so well taken care of until recently by government activities that it has not gone to the trouble like other cities, to provide industrial and commercial facilities that would at all times take care of its people. A city cannot thrive unless it has large payrolls. It cannot have large payrolls unless there are big factories, big railroad and shipping terminals and shops, big grain elevators and other industries to employ men and women. The port improvements that will be made if the bond issue is approved next Tuesday will not only provide employment for an army of men in their construction, but will open up this port to the great ocean steamship lines, giving permanent employment to thousands of longshoremen and cargo handlers, railroad workers and skilled and unskilled labor of all kinds, as well as bring to the city numerous manufacturing plants seeking ample rail and water shipping facilities for their products. These will also give permanent employment to those who are here and bring others to increase our population and add to our prosperity. The adoption of this bond issue is of vital concern to every citizen of Norfolk, and especially to the colored citizens, because in the final analysis the colored population furnishes the hulk of the labor that will be needed for the work that will be created. Every qualified colored voter, therefore, should regard it as a duty to his city, to himself and his family to go to the polls next Tuesday, February 7th, and cast his vote FOR THE BOND ISSUE. Victory for the bond issue will mean more employment; more business activity, more money and more prosperity in Norfolk. Defeat of the bond issue will mean continued unemployment and more hard times.

TRUSTY FOULLY SMALLBOYSMAKE SLAIN IN JAIL GRUESOME FIND J. B. Jones, Nearing End Of Sentence Comes To Death At Hands Of Spaniard In Dispute Over Bread. One of the most dastardly crimes known was committed in the city jail here Monday afternoon, when J. B. Jones, a colored trusty was brutally stabbed in the back by Rogello Perez, a Spaniard. Jones died almost instantly. Perez, who is serving a four year term for house breaking, has had a preliminary hearing in Police Court on the charge of murder. In another Spaniard, is charged with being an accessory after the fact. The immediate cause of the tragedy was a piece of bread. Jones, who had charge of passing the bread offered Perez a piece of corn bread which was a piece of bread. Jones did this but not suit the spirit Spanish either. Jones turned around and remarked that he couldn't seem to please Perez whereupon Perez drew a dagger from his coat and stabbed Jones in the back. The injured man staggered a knife and an unproperly immediately broke out among the prisoners and only the timely interference of a guard with drawn revolver, prevented a serious race clash among the prisoners. The knife which Perez used to murder one man sharpened to a razor edge-and the end ground down-to a dagger point. The knife which still bore splotches of blood was turned over to the detectives by a prisoner who said he gaw Perez run into the kitchen and throw it away. Jones was taken from eye witnesses to the crime. It is hoped that on the strength of these statements Perez and Gustorow will be prosecuted to the limit of the law. MURDERED MAN FOUND IN DITCH Unidentified Colored Man Meets Violent Death At Hands Of Unknown Party. Circumstances Point To Robbery. The body of an unidentified colored man about 55 years old was found Monday in a ditch near the Seaboard Air Line Railway tracks just out side the city limits. The man's head had been beaten to a pulp, showing that he had been brutally murdered. The murderer had been caught out giving the impression that robbery was the motive for the crime. That the murdered man had made a desperate struggle for his life was indicated by the condition of the ground and the snow near the scene of the crime. He was given some time Sunday night, as there were fresh blood stains on the snow. County officers started an investigation when notified of the discovery of the body. Nothing definite has been learned as a result of the investigation, is given that any strenuous efforts will be made to get any trace of the assailant. After being reviewed by a coroner's jury, the body was turned over to a local undertaker to await possible identification. Pessimist—A man who enters a vaudeville house, expecting to see three acrobat acts and two troupes of jugglers. One more entry may be made in the annals of missing persons. The skeleton of a woman rescued by small boys playing in the woods near the Virginian Railway tracks about three miles from the city, about ten days ago. Officers have examined the bones that remain and from the shape of the skull, they say that the man was a Negro. A blood splatter on the bone of the man, another shard was found near the body. From the condition of the body it is estimated that the man had been dead at least six months. County officers who located the body, the body's condition, given they by the body, have made no indications that any special investigation will be started or efforts made to learn the identity of the slayers of the man. Since the officers are working on the assumption that the murdered man was a Negro, merely from the skeleton, they may that they m- be mistaken and they may be letting the murder of a man of some other race go unsolved and forgotten.

COLORED BOY NOW STARS IN OWN RIGHT "Sunshine Sammy," Famous Little Movie Actor Completes Starring Vehicle. Has Played With Well Known Agents. POPULARITY IS NOW UNIVERSAL (The Associated Negro Press) Los Angeles,—Frederick Earnest Morrison, the shillings Colored Movie Actor, styled the "Black Duty" and professionally known as "Sunshine Sammy," and who for the past six years has brought tears or laughter to millions of movie fans the world over, has at last been given the credit it long denied him, and promoted to a full fledged star. Earnest has just completed his first starring vehicle, "The Pickaninny," produced by the Hall Roach Comedy Company, of Culver City, and released through the Pathe releasing agencies. Born in 1913 near Canal and Curondet streets, New Orleans, Ln., Earnest was brought to Los Angeles by his father and mother, Joseph and his mother, and in 1915 he was employed as a nursing student, nursing Baby Marie Osborne an idol with the juvenile movie fans. Earnest made a hit from the start and are long co-starring in the two and five reel Baby Marie Osborne comedy-dramas, "Old Maid's Bammy," "Jewel Grandman," "Voice of Death," "Studust, Doll," "Likit Diplomat," etc. A year or so later he was placed under contract by Hal Roach and entered into lateefree productions of the Reach companies co-starring with Harold Old Horn, "Gacha high," "Hunted," "Gacha high," "Gacha high," etc., and with Harry ("Sushi"), Polward in regular weekly releases. So universal has become the popularity of Earnest, that Marshall Neilson recently borrowed him from the Reach firm to co-star with the rest of famous juvenile actors in the reach of Bucklington "Penrod" just completed. Lost week the two former cinema celebrities, Jane and Katherine Lee, now playing in vaudeville, included Earnest among their juvenile guests at a theatre party at the Orpheum and Jackie Cooley and Wesley Barry, Hot, Jt., Walle Reid, Jr., and many other famous kiddies of the screen. Earnest's salary has been advanced from time to time until it now reaches a weekly sum of three figures. Four hours per day Earnest spends with a private tutor learning the rudiments of the "three R's" and spends from four to six hours a day at the Roach Studios turning out a picture a week. Earnest's father and his 6 year old sister, Florence, assist him occasionally, working worked with him in "Poured." Success has only spurred Earnest to higher ambitions, and he works hard each day, acting, studying and savvy, recently purified a block of stock in Colored Film producing organization.

NEGRO RURAL SCHOOLS ARE IMPROVING President Of Jeanes And Slater Funds Says School Boards More Willing To Give Colored Children Square Deal. Promising Outlook For The Future By James Hardy Dilard President Jeans and Funds So far as I have been able to form an opinion I should say that there has been within ten years, and even more rapidly within five years, a decided advance in the readiness and desire of school boards and superintendents to give the colored children a square deal in education. There has been an advance both in length of term in colored schools and in the salary paid to colored teachers. There has been an advance in the interest taken by superintendents in the better housing and better-supervision of the colored schools. As illustrations in proof of this progressive attitude let me cite three facts. First: Public school officials appropriated that year (1921) $425,000 in co-operation with the Rosenwald donations toward building rural school houses for colored children. Second: Up to seven years ago the Fed Funds were paying the salary for the rural supervising teachers that were employed for Negro schools in various counties, little or no appropriations coming for this purpose from public funds. This year for these workers they are paying for these workers $20,000. Eight years ago, through the cooperation of the Slater Fund, four graded county training schools were established, to each of which the public school officials appropriated $750,000. The public school officials are appropriating over $650,000 to 141 such schools. In order, however, that the public school authorities may be supported in providing better accommodations, better terms and better teachers for their colored schools, they must have public sentiment back of them. The facilities, including the school board count for much. Where the facilities are notably bad, why may not interested persons in a tactful way lay the matter before the school board and suggest improvement? I happen to know that such groups have already in certain places been serviced in inducing their communities to fill the vacant positions for co-operation with the agencies mentioned above, that is, the Rosenwald Fund, which gives liberally for building rural school houses, the Jeanes Fund which pays half or two-thirds of the salary for a rural Supervising Teacher in the county, and the Slater Fund which gives $500 annually for establishing a good central school in the county, known as the Slater School. It may be said that the Slator Board also has a fund for aiding town schools on certain conditions. The conditions in all these cases and in other agencies of co-operation; are simple and reasonable and any information on the subject will be gladly given by the State Agent for Negro schools in each state. Department of Education. In many instances it will be found that the local superintendents already have the necessary information. But the question of outside help is incidental. The great need is that the local superintendents and school boards may feel that the school support of the co-educational improving the school facilities for the colored children. It seems too late in the day to argue the question that it is better economically, better morally, for all the people that all should have education and training. The facts are that any ignorance be best shown that ignorance is an asset to any sort of progress or a cure for any sort of ill. It is not only fair, but profitable all around, that the colored masses should have better schools. LYNCHERS GET JUST DESERTS IN OKLAHOMA Five Men, Two Negroes And Three Whites, Sentenced To Life Imprisonment As Result Of Participation In Lynching SPEEDIEST TRIAL IN STATE'S HISTORY (By The Associated Negro Press) Oklahoma City — Lynchning received a set back in Oklahoma last week. Five men, two of them Negroes, were sentenced to life imprisonment when they pleaded guilty today to charges of complicity in lynching Jake Brooks, Negro. The trial was one of the greatest trials of the state. Governor irobertson, the reputation for defending law and order was active in seeing justice done. The white men are Lee Whitley, Elmer Yearal, striking members of the Butcher Workmen's Union, and the Butcher John sympathizer. The Negroes are Rustin Butler, cousin of Brooks, and Nathan Butler, also union men. Sheriff Ben Dancy started an investigation of Brook's disappearance early Sunday after Brook's wife reported that the police refused to go outside of the city to search for her husband. The discovery of Brook's body brought about a tense situation which resulted in an apprehension made by the Governor Robertson offered a reward of $2,000 for the apprehension and conviction of the lynchers. A reward of $500 for each of the party was offered by the Chamber of Commerce. SHAUGHNESSY DEAD Washington, Jan. 29 - Edward H.

FIRST WITH THE NEWS The Norfolk Journal and Guide carried the news of the passage of The Dyer, Anti-Lynching Bill by the lower house of Congress exactly one week ahead of the Race papers, among them, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and New York. In fact it heat two-thirds of the Race papers of the country to this piece of news. The Journal and Guide also carried ahead of the other Race papers the announcement that the Canadian authorities had closed the campus by North Carolina for alleged participation in a race riot. Bullock's plea was that he be feared being lynched if he was returned to North Carolina. The Journal and Guide does not feature crime, scandal and that is, of real value, and that can be counted upon to have a whole some affect, and to hold interest for every member of the family—men, women and children—will usually be found in the Journal and Guide.

COAL WOOD ICE We Handle Only the Best of These Com- modities and Solicit Your Patronage) City Coal & Ice Co. incorporated Phone---23922---25355 The one hundred and fifty-five thousand dollar bond issue, $150,000) for the erection of a new white high school is now before the city fathers and doubtless will meet its unanimous approval. This is doubtless its duty, but what about the school situation among our colored populatin? Last year's school census showed 1,900 colored children of schaal age in the city school against 1,500 white children of school age. Note the difference in school faculties. Two eight room buildings each in east and west ends of the city for the benefit of the primary and elementary grades of white children. One building of exact size and type for the accomodation of all the 1,900 colored children of the city. Twelve teachers for all of these children. The city furnished 1 teacher for every 159 colored children, of the city. No mention is yet made of the handsome Jefferson High School in the center of the city with 6 or 8 smaller individual rooms outside of the main building for the accomodation of the hite children. There are in the white schools 60 teachers, one teacher to every 25 children in the city. Provisions are made in the white schools for a full 4 years high school course, which enables the student to prepare at home for college or university or a teacher in the public schools. There is in addition a first class business course, whereas the colored child is given only work as high as the eighth grade. If he or she wishes to teach even in the rural schools they must go to Hampton, Petersburg or Lawrenceville and remain at least 4 years before being prepared as a rural school teacher. One wonders if the city fathers have been appraised of these facts. If not, could that bond issue be increased to at least $200,000 and make some reasonable provision for the education of its citizens of color. Miss Sydney Jordan, has been appointed a teacher of the schools of Roanoke. In spite of the heaviest snow storm which has visited this section in years, the Nunseem and Isle of Wight Sunday school Union had splendid sessions at St. Paul Baptist church Saturday and Sunday.

Dining-Car Employees Physicaly Fit (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa.—Fow patrons pay any attention to the calibre of the men who serve them as they enjoy a meal on the dining car but a record recently made on one of the great trunk lines calls attention to a splendid achievement. In two successive month, a corps of examining physicians have been unable to find a single man among the 1,500 waiters, cooks and pantry attendants of the Pennsylvania railroad's dining cars and restaurants, showing the slightest symptom of suffering from a contagious or otherwise communicable disease. This record was made in November and December of a monthly physical examinations of the Pennsylvania Railroad engaged in the handling of food, table linens or tableware. Examinations of this character were instituted on this line nine years ago, as a measure for the protection of its patrons. When the examinations were first started there was considerable resentment among the employees required to undergo them. This however, was overcome by point- ing out that the rule worked for their own protection and benefit as well as for the protection of patrons. Now the employees themselves are unanimous in approval of the plan, and fully realize the effect it has had in raising the standards of employment in this branch of the railroad service. The company has a total of 2,250 employees in the dining car and restaurant department and of, these more than two-thirds consist of waiters, cooks, pantrymen, etc., who are required to undergo the monthly physical examinations. Howard's Department of Physical Education To Develop In- terest In Various Games Washington, D. C.—On account of the increased enrollment at Howard University, the Department of Physical Education has recently acquired new-gymnasium equipment, including dumbbells, bells, Indian clubs, singing sticks, and other equipment. The installation of this new equipment affords opportunity for a larger number of young men and women of the University for further development along lines of physical education and enables the department of Physical Education to provide the instruction in the gymnasium work. Group games are being planned for the coming season both among the young women and young men of the University. Interest in Volley Ball, Hockey, Cricket, Tennis, etc., will be increased, and the larger groups may have the recreational benefit of these games. NEGRO MUSIC (By Dr. Frank Crane) The Negro problem in the United States is usually considered in one of the three respects. First, as a labor question:—His competition with the whites is resented for the old reason that his scale of living is lower. Second, as a political question:—the injection of a mass of ex-slaves into population brought its inevitable condition. Third, as a social problem:—the Negro cannot be argued or legislated out of his status as a human being, and as such he has to get along in some way with white human beings. Another aspect of the Negro question, however, which has been neglected, and that is the artistic and aesthetic aspect. While the Negro is inferior to the Anglo-Saxon in the rougher and more practical activities of civilization there are certain reasons of sentiment where he is superior. In one realm of feeling the Negro is distinctly superior and that is music. The only entirely original music produced in the United States, and perhaps in the world, in recent years has been the music they are the products of pure and vigorous imagination. Natalie Curtis Burlin recently got out a series of four pamphlets of Negro Folk Songs, wherein there is presented to us, in a way, the musical genius of the Negro. The black man produced his music as all true music is produced, as a by-product of his work, his-play and his passion. He is primarily the creator of the work song. The tablets recorded by him are interesting examples. For example there is the "Peanut Pickin' Song," which grew out of the time when the slaves of all ages gathered around the open bonfire and picked the harvested peanut from their stems. I will fill a basket if I choose. Den Massa gwine give me Chris Mus sheaos Two red han-kerchiefs an, a walkin' cane Den I's gwine strut down de Big House lane" There was the "Hammerin' Song," which comes from the mines of Virginia, where the workmen chanted a simple refrain and were lead by a "header," or "leader" who received extra pay for his improvisation. Besides there is the "Chick-hanka," used by workers on the railroad, and the "Cotton-motives": "Liza Jane," one of the many songs improvised for dances: the "Cotton-Pickin' Song," the "Corn-shukin' Song," and others. And no mention has been made of the largest field, of all, which is that of spiritual songs and religious melodies. It is all that the Negro unconsciouslyically. To the white man music is a luxury. To the Negro it is life itself. “News From Nearby ‘No C. Towns” | Social and Persor ~ ELIZABETH: CITY a (D. W.- White & F. W. M. Butler) ~The’ B. ¥. P.

This state of affairs would "Her Unborn Child" A Wonderful Production WOOD CADETS REORGANIZE REAL AND UNREAL RAGE ADJUSTMENT The exposition of the case of and for the colored people of the South by Principal Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, before the Tuskegee Negro Conference is impressive. It is to be accepted as the testimony of at least one competent observer to the fact that the Southern race problem is in the way of progressive settlement and that relationship between the two races is being developed along promising lines. This paper holds a news franchise in the Associated Negro Press and uses its exclusive copyrighted dispatches. The Press will receive authentic news items or clippings of national scope (seem at a reader's risk) at the office, 3432 Indiana Ave., Chicago. Principal Moton finds not only that there is an increasing understanding between the races, but also that the white element of the population is showing itself "more determined than ever" that the colored people shall have justice in the courts and schools. He is specific in this exposition of the white race's stewardship. Two years of investigation in the Lower South has failed to reveal to him a single instance of a colored tenant ousted by a white proprietor—and this in the face of the financial depression that has so heavily on that section. The impoverished public school facilities to which Principal Moton refers is also to be listed evidencing the just dealing of the white people with the colored—for this development is obviously to be credited to the whites who administer public education and who pay the great bulk of the taxes that support it. All animation feels the joy of living. We do not know of anything with the blood of life in it which does not resist the approach of death and dissolution and cling to life with all of the strength it possesses. And for many creatures, for many people, life contains little that we call joy, happiness, satisfaction. Dr. Frank Crane, who writes sensible pieces for the newspapers, believes in evolution of lower to higher forms of existence, and that man has triumphed through all of his transformation by providing means as need be for his defense and protection. That may be so, and if it may not be so. The wise do not agree as to it. Reducing it to the forms we now have it. Dr. Crane says: "The name of life is The Great Overcomer. When it was threatened with drowning in the waters it developed gills with which to breathe water, and fins with which to walk through it. When it was in danger of being crushed it put on a shell, as the tortoise or the snail. At each new conspiracy against it, it found a defense. Now, long teeth and sharp claws, and again, a thick hide, or horns, or a sting, or poisonous fangs. At last it reached the top of the ladder—humanity—and there its pulses beat as strong and sure as they beat ten thousand years ago in the primitive animal. If you are alive you have that inestimable gift. You are a fragment of that greatest and most conquering of all forces. What a thing it is to have the inheritance of life! And, after all our business is to live. Just to express ourselves, just to be, just to feel that common current of power that thrills through the universe and is its master—Life. Let nothing make you despise Life. The greatest Teacher said: "I have come that ye might have life." Life is the fundamental morality, for it is the protest against every perversion that would undo us. To live, if we but realize what life is, is to triumph." Those who, like Principal, Moton, know the Southern colored people and the Southern white people, know that the wise leadership of both races is working along lines that promise solution. The clear-sighted leaders of the colored people know that the white people of the South are their true friends and that this friendship, coupled with mutuality of interests, promises fair dealing. In striking contrast with the progress of racial adjustment, as set forth by the speakers before the Tuskegee Conference, is the muddling policy being pursued by such so-called friends of the colored people as the champions of the black segregation who are proceeding on the false grounds that the whites and blacks are natural enemies. Instead of promoting race adjustment such interference handicaps it. This kind of legislation tends to stir up prejudice and to widen differences, and thereby threatens to defeat its own ends.—Norfolk, Virginia-Pilot. It is well in the intense struggle we all have to make "a crust of bread and a place to sleep," to which our own Paul Lawrence Dunbar reduced the philosophy of life. to analyse ourselves a bit, and to consider the value of what we have in the beautiful and Expansive world, the sources of appreciation or the reverse being in ourselves. It is worth while, because, as the hymnal has it, "It is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die." And about life and death we are all as little children in our ignorance, groping always after the truth, hoping and laboring always for that which is highest and best in the philosophy of living. NO "EMPEROR JONES" IN THE SOUTH And those who pursue the paths of thrift get more of the joy of living than those who pursue the paths of prodigality. Adolph Klauber, who manages the colored actor, Charles Gilpin sent the company into Virginia. It was intended to try out the South with the play, "Emperor Jones," in which Gilpin is the star, with white support, but the actor received a letter while in Virginia, with a Ku Klux Klan signature, advising him not to extend the contract to a mixed company. The management decided that this was good advice and steered a course North. PRODUCERS OF FOODSTUFFS.DEMAND PROTECTION The economic control of American industries appears to be shifting from the Steel Bloc to the Agricultural Bloc. If this should come about, and some think that it has happened already, it would amount to a reversal of the economic policy of American industrial interests, and what that might develop in the final analysis there has appeared no prophet to inform us. To the average mind a "Bloc" does not signify anything in particular and might mean everything speculatively. It may be described therefore, as a combination of forces for the attainment of common purposes. The Steel Bloc is best known as the Protective Tariff system interests. It covers all of the manufacturing interests as distinguished from interests that are not in the manufacturing business and its feeders,—middlemen, retailers, transportation agents, financiers and the like, none of which produce any raw material but consume in their business all the raw material produced by the agricultural and mineral bloc. The warning was too tenuous, in fact, to be an avowed social expression, but as a portent it was powerful and the South has missed a great play with an astonishing actor because the netor is black. Probably not only the fact that he is black but that being black he is the star unmade him undesirable. The South has produced the popular classics of the Afro-American, and white men have written them, but they have been of Uncle Remus telling folk-love stories to the little boy from the big house. Thomas Nelson Page's romantically faithful blacks waiting on old or young marse or they have been the slaves singing "Way Down Upon The Swanage River," or "My Old Kentucky Home." The United States has maintained the Protective Tariff system continuously since the days of Henry Clay, and through every Republican Administration, the interruptions by Democratic Administrations being few and negligible in importance. The system has produced a great many very wealthy people and for more very poor people. Would the Free Trade system, for which the Democratic party stands, have brought about the like prosperity, with a more equal distribution of the wealth of the country? That is a debatable question. The Negro classic is a mirror held up to the glories of the old South and is a bright reflection of beauty and chivalry. It blossomed in the present day again in the old reliable stories of Harris Dickson, a southerner. The southern limitations of the colored race in writing and in music and on the stage are the limitations of the servant evidently. The World War and the conditions following upon it demoralized all industrialism, but it had a worse effect upon agricultural interests, it is made to appear, than upon any other. It has got so desperate for American farmers that an Agricultural Bloc has been formed in Congress, composed of members of the agricultural States of the West and Southwest, and the President deemed it wise to call a Conference of Farmers, which has been holding stormy sessions in Washington. High freight rates, high interest on money and combinations of commission and retail merchants to limit sales and enhance prices appear to be the things We are all interested in the Conference, because we all depend upon the farmers for most that we eat and wear, in the first analysis, and hope that its deliberations may result in giving us a better condition in the cost of living. The British in India have a rule, needed mostly in the movies, and there it is a censorship rule, that producers shall not show pictures which reveal rascism in white skins and virtues in darker ones. It is bad for white dominance the British say to show white men doing injustice or committing crime. Obello could not get by in India. That is official for the British but in the American South social roles were more rigid and enforced unofficially. The people who objected to "Emperor Jones" not only missed a great play but they missed the point of it, they might not have objected. Gilpin's portrayal of the character does not conform to the convention that a good colored man is a romantic mental but makes the emperor essentially more assaging to the Southern and Northern principle that the white does and must rule when the races are thrown together. The white beach comber in the play is miserable and vile enough but he does not revert to barbarian and the black man does. Gilpin's black man goes mad in the jungle at night, seeing imaginary terrors and wasting his ammunition on them as his real pursuits advance. Social Equality and Social Reciprocity By Rev. J. A. Brinkley, D. D. This age old question might well be left alone were it not for the fact that those who have the least to lose discuss it most. The Anglo Saxon is true to his ancestry when he attempts to establish an exploitable status for ? Vegro is true to panhood when he defends the God given rights to humanity. The term Social Equality has been subjected to as many constructions as there are individual bents and bias. In accordance with the best minds Social Equality is predicated on equality in personal possession of those elements or qualities which make for the betterment of society or social security. This doctrine of Social Equality should be held and taught by every Negro. In the first place to deny it would be to accept an inferior place among men. Why accept that which you do not want simply because it has been thrust upon you? Why deny the great truth that from one blood God created all men? Previous conditions among the hot heather hills of Sudan and Nyanza land are no more profound nor prophetic than previous heather conditions among the wet wooded wilds of England and Scotland. Again the doctrine of Social Equality is a necessary element in the law of self preservation. Whatever is necessary to afford the highest and best for one group of society is necessary for the other. To accept anything shorter than the best is suicidal. If we content ourselves with the theory of Social Inequality then we will teach it to our children, thus permitting unborn generations; to be cradled with the creed that they were born the butt of the bipeds. Such a theory would rob us of all initiative; aspiration and ambition to do and to be, and justly uset us to all the social, economic and political indignities and deprivations incident to such a status. I repeat, we must contend without being offensive for the doctrine of Social Equality, else our race will not have sufficient impetus to fight for its place in the Sun. As a man thinks so is he. Further, the Doctrine of Social Equality is necessary to the claims of Philanthopy and Christianity. The world does not claim it to be Christian but the age claims to the Philanthopic. Philanthopy has a pretext to a great purpose. It has a brilliant record of great achievements. But a denial of the doctrine of Social Equality has been a handicap to the higher success of Philanthopy. The irony of the situation has corroded the surface of that Philanthopy which would help the body while starving the mind, the body while starving their minds. For instance a Philanthopic who himself is in a Negro College on the altar for humanity. Yet he becomes suddenly disorganized when he discovers that these black seekers after truth believe that there is nothing foreign to them which is common to men. To help he came but only help of an inferior kind. The world, I said, does not claim to be Christian. Yet the most potent factor in the world for good is Christianity. Christianity *stands* "four square" for Social Equality. Christ recognized all men as equal. With Him if any, would be superior they should be most willing to sacrifice all in order to serve beat. The world may be getting better. Christianity is the leavening and saving influence. But Christianity will continue to have a hard road to travel on long as the white preachers of Christ lose their train of thought if perchance their black brothers of the cloth take a seat on God's rostum in a white church on a beautiful Sunday morning Christ will still be crucified as long as white parishioners have a Sabath hysteria simply because a blood stumbled in a white church of In the South wanted a decree of white supremacy worked out for it the talented Gilbim would have been fettering, but a social aid stood above any such considerations. We do not know how the South feels about. Othello, but anyway this Emperor Jones, was different because he was at the beginning of his drama a realistic black man of today who might be moving boxes and bales, brushing clothes, polishing brass work, or shooting crabs anywhere until he committed the murder which made him jump the country. Possibly there would be no objection in the South to the mental and spiritual collapse of a black man under strain, but some objection to permitting a real black man to destroy a white man raping a collapsed. The racial heart was explicable and partly inexplicable, but the South has missed a good show — The Chinese Tale. Christ, walked quietly up the isle and seated themselves in front of the man of God. This state of affairs would be a myth were it not for the theory of Social Inequality. You may call it theology or philosophy but society more of the House Top illumination than of the color line that led out of the world's most religious religions to exalex, "I now perceive that God is no respecter of persons." Then too, Social Inequality argues ill for any nation. It stalwarts national pride and destroys that group co-operation so necessary to national solidarity and perpetuity. Democracy is not only a lie in the face of economic and political inequalities, but is an ungained lie in the face of Social Inequality. Men will not give economic and political justice to those who hold social inequality. There is potential injustice among those groups of citizens who fail to receive justice. Any nation containing such dissatisfied groups may boast but it is only that pride which goes before a fall. Finally a word must be added concerning Social Reciprocity. Some good thinking Negroes and well meaning white men lose their poise when this phase of the social question is approached. Yet many who deny the doctrine of Social Equality practice Social Reciprocity. Social Reciprocity is an agreed intercourse or relationship of a personal nature. The Negro must defend the doctrine of Social Equality. He may permit and become a party to Social Reciprocity. The former is fundamental and necessary, the latter is personal and optional. Where circumstances have allowed, individuals of both races have had a relationship, which has overleaped social distinctions and contributed to, rather than hindered, the progress and security of society. If Social Equality automatically and naturally merges into Social Reciprocity it is due to the nature of the case and the black race must not be held as claiming and demanding Social Reciprocity. He does demand Social Equality. Social, economic and political rights and privileges are a matter of life and death for the black man. They must be won by continued teaching and indoctrination. We might as well push forward the campaign. Insurance Companies Consolidate; Local Offices Merged WHALEYVILLE, VA. The Sunday school and B. Y. P.

Beginning Monday and continuing throughout the week the Witness has enjoyed a successful concert at the acute Theater and Fulton Theater in New York City. Likewise score of success as a road attraction. it is a genuine melodrama in a prologue and three acts by Otto Hauerkbach, who points with pride at the production that to that of attorney Swan's platform at the court, written. Mt Hauerkbach has based the underlying motive of his story on a subject which strangely enough college students want to that of attorney Swan's platform at the court. Briefly he tells a story of a boy who is working his way through college against the handicaps of try-hardness. One of these Wilber Weldon casts asperions on the poor boys parentage, a fight insures in which the poor boy defends his mother's education. The poor boy is held for the murder. The manner in which he is exonerated from the crime and the ingenious methods by the Wilber Weldon casts his father and together after years of separation caused by a misunderstanding, comprise the salient points in this very story. The poor boy can save her boy from the law the mother is given splendid dramatic material. While in the development of the case all the members of the community can play the role. The quality is so strong upon unthoughtful "The Silent Witness" that the audience up to the final curtain cannot positively forewash the jump up as the curtain comes down and the mother says "My Boy" when the audience, will walk out saying he will be given all the careful attention that has marked the production beforeto that you can rest assured that you will see a Broadway production and be given the project that we make is that you order your seats early and that you won't be one of the disappointed ones LEASE MUSCLE SHOALS Washington, Feb. 1—On the eve of Weeks of Henry Ford's offer for the Government properties at Muscle Shaals, Ala., Frederick B.

BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH PASTOR BEGINS SPECIAL SERIES SUNDAY When one considers the weather conditions that prevailed in Norfolk fast Sunday, the attendance of all servi- ces at Bank Street Baptist church was beyond all expectations. The baccalaureate sermon to the PRESIDENT graduates of the Booker T. Washington High school was the principal feature of the morning services. The pastor, Rev C. M. Long, delivered a very practical sermon on "Chris's challenge to Service." Although his message was meant especially for the sage was meant especially for the high school graduates, it held the attention of the audience at large throut, so replete with logic, practicalities and plain philosophy was it. After the sermon Mr. D. G. Jacox, principal of the B. T. Washington High School made a few remarks concerning the personnel and record of the outgoing class. Mrs. D. W. Byrd, also made an appeal for the support of Bank Street members for the Y. W. C. A.

Members of Bank Street church in particular, and the public in general have evidenced much interest in this series of sermons ever since Rev. Long announced them nearly one month ago. Every one feels that the pastor's special training, together with his wonderful ability to analyze the difficult so clearly will result in his presenting the people of Norfolk who go to hear him four expositions that might fly be styled pulpit classics. Everybody is welcome at Bank St., every Sunday service. JOHN M. BROWN A. M. E.

Honley) Heavy snow storms and dampness under foot are no hindering causes to those who love God and his services. This proved good on last Sunday when many came through the snow and mud to the different services of the day. Sabbath school was well attended and every teacher seemed well versed in the life of Elijah. Last Sunday being the Missionaries Day, regular preaching service was omitted and a good spiritual prayer meeting was had at the morning hour, after which a collection for the poor and disabled people was lifted by Deacon Alexander Washington. Rev. E. M. Washington blessed our souls with a splendid sermon at the evening hour. Mr. Williams, of Cooper's Corner and Mrs. Sarah Butts, are still reported on the sick list.

Olive Baptist church, Seatack, will preach at St. Mark's church, Oceana, Fob. 12th, at 3 o'clock. His choir and congregation will also attend. Everybody welcome. The services in our church on last Sabbath were not up to the standard in attendance; but for interest and enthusiasm they could not be surpassed. The Sunday school at 9:30 had a fairly good attendance and was very inspiring. At the morning preaching hour our Bishop the Rt. Rev. George Lincoln Blackwell, of Philadelphia was present and preached at this service. The Bishop really edified his hearers with an eloquent, logical and instructive message that will long be remembered by those who heard him. He used as text, Phillippians 2:25. He beautifully depicted the character of the individual of whom he spoke, "Epaphroditus." He gave a lengthy introduction leading up to his text which was filled with much wholesome information and food for thought. Truly the discourse was great. The Christian Endeavor services at 6:00 p.m. had a very good attendance all things considered. The topic was beautifully discussed. At the evening preaching hour the pastor, Rev. N. D. King delivered an excellent discourse to the faithful few present that was highly enjoyed. Next Sunday being the first Sunday, the Holy Communion will be administered at the morning service. And it is desired that as many of the members as can will be present at this service. Strangers, visitors and friends are always welcome to all of our services. A. and T. COLLEGE NEWS Sunday, January 22, Rev. W. T. Lomax, of this city delivered a sermon to the student body at our regular Sunday afternoon hour for religious service, 8:00 p.m. His text was, "The Voyage of Life." He compared the life voyage of an individual to a commercial voyage showing many dancers which await one on his life's journey. Friday, night, January 27, there was a debate held between the Third Year High School and the Second Year High School classes. The Third Year High School class was represented by Messrs. D. J. Wells, O. C. Saulters and E. D. Sinclair. The second Year High School class was represented by Messrs. W. H. Steele and C. Williams. The question was "Resolved that Judges Should be Elected by Popular Vote." The second Year High School class the affirmative speakers, was victorious.

Wednesday night, January 25, the basketball team of A. and T. played Lutheran College. A and T. defeated the visiting team by a score of 38-26. Friday night, January 27, our team played Harrison High School, of Roanoke, Va. Our team lost this game by a score of 21-31. Both games Wednesday and Friday nights, were thrilling. CARROLLTON, VA. (Miss Mattie V. Jordan) Heavy snow and wind prevented regular services from being held at Campbell's Sunday, Jan. 29th. Next Sunday the pastor will fill the pulpit and the Sacrament of the Lord's Super will be administered. * Wednesday evening, Jan. 25th, Misses Mary daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John W.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN What would you do to correct jealousy between two children? I have two daughters, ages 12 and 14. The younger says I think more of her sister than of her. This jealousy causes much trouble in the family. —A WORRIED MOTHER Please read the story, "The Unwanted One," in the Ledger-Dispatch and do not make a difference in your children. This is a common fault with parents. It is your fault. SPIRITUALISM Please answer this question in your next issue. Is there anything real in spiritualism? You have me there. What I am about to write is based on what I have read and what I believe. Spiritualism is possible, but highly improbable. In the old testament we find an account of the witch of Endor calling up Samuel, dead long since, in order that King 'Saul might hear his fate. The Bible cannot be gainsaid. My advice, however, is steer clear of all things you do not understand. There is nothing to be gained and much might be lost. THE RIGHT AGE TO MARRY Most people think and say that one is too young. to marry, and again you hear the expression, he is too old to marry. What is the proper age? I am sixteen. Martin, you are too young. There is no proper age. Some people make successful marriages as early as 16 years, while others fail utterly very much later. Much depends on the people themselves. WINTER CLOTHING Is it injurious to one's health to wear light weight clothing in winter? Clothing does not heat the body, but serves to retain the heat generated by the body. Wool and silk hold heat better than cotton and should be worn when possible. Light weight cotton garments or thin garments of any kind are injurious when worn in a freezing temperature. The body should never be allowed to chill. WHICH SHALL IT BE In chasing a husband from two rivals should your judgement be allowed to go before love? That is, you might love the worse man better than the other. Which would you choose? —DOT Dot, you will suit yourself and repent at leisure, but I say always use common sense in marriage. You will not regret it. Women think to marry the villian and reform him, but they never do. Chose the best man and love him later. Cook in salted water until tender, two dozen clean pig feet.

R. 13, a law. "In its ten-year fight on lynching," the statement says, 'the N. A. A. C. P., has spent almost $35,000. The Association's Anti-lynching Fund, which it is sought always to keep at the $10,000, mark has dwindled because of the heavy demands made upon it. Those demands have included personal investigations of lynchings, mass meetings, world-wide publicity. The old canard that rape is a cause of lynching has been and once for all exploded. "During almost a month's debate of this Bill in Congress, the secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., has been in Washington in constant conference with leaders in the House of Representatives. An enormous mass of information collected by the N. A. A. C. P., and newspaper editorials based on statistics of the N. A. A. C. P., have been inserted in the Congressional Record and will be read through the country. "The N. A. A. C.

What it is worth to colored Americans to continue unabated the fight to blot out. lynching in the United States? When the Bill has been passed by the House of Representatives, it must still be enacted by the Senate. To bring this about strenuous work is necessary. The Association will furnish the work.

(By William Pickees) After all, the old Fourthtenth Amendment is good for something: Mr. Taft used it to help a Bisbee, Arizona, employer to boat a labor union. So the old thing has life in it, when the Supreme Court wills. But think of it: those who enacted this amendment had no idea whatever of helping a restaurant keeper in Bisbee, Arizona to crush a waiter's union. They did have in mind the definite aim to help the Negroes of Georgia and Mississippi to enjoy suffrage and freedom.

It all leads me to reflect: That there is plenty of law to do any just thing if the officials want to do it. If ever five gentlemen of the supreme court want Negroes of South Carolina to vote and be free, they will find amendments and "clauses" and "intentions" somewhere on which to base decisions that will support that suffrage and freedom.

The responsibility for the expenditure of any. or all of the proceeds of the $5,000,000 bond issue is vested only in the City Council. The Port Commission has recommended the construction of one pier with 500,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space; reinforced concrete bulk- head wharves; a grain elevator; and the neces- sary dredging and yard trackage.

Additional facilities may be required on short notice: “The Council should have authority to issue bonds on short notice for additional development, which may be urgently neédéd, without waiting for another election.”: ~ .:: ne EP ee 4 5 ee . < Reasons'for Municipal GrainElevator Why is the city building a grain elevator? Why is not such a facility provided by the railroads? ‘The present financial condition of the vail- roads of the United States is too well known to necessitate comment. No Norfolk railroad has available funds with which to build a grain elevator. a aS e Even though a Norfolk railroad construct- ed a-grain elevator, it would not serve the pur- pose: of the proposed municipal elevator. , An elevator owned by the city would. be available -through the Belt Line‘ to all of the Hampton: Roads railroads... At least five of these rail- roads ave in a position to bring grain to Nor- folk, namely, the Southern, Norfolk and .Wes- tern, Chesapeake and Ohio, Pennsylvania and the Norfolk-Southern. Officials of all ‘of these: roads havé assured Norfolk of their co-dpera- tion. : f as % Norfolk enjoys the same grain rate.as Bal: timore, and a lower rate than Philadelphia and New York. : Baltimore, having grain elevators, handled. 55,000,000 bushels of grain in 1921. Norfolk, with no elevator, handled none. . [™%46,.. RIOT bitotoew te.
