A Cordial Born Extended To You MIGHTY WAR WAGED FOR RIGHT LIVING Greatest Revival In History of Newport News Results In Great Hosts Being Baptized and Taking Stand For Christ. UNDER AUSPICES OF MINISTERS' UNION Newport News, Va.—Last Sunday, marked the close of the greatest revival in the history of Newport News. Under the auspices of the Inter-Dominational Minister's Union, of which Dr. C. E. Jones is president, a mighty war, of four week's duration, and been waged against sin, for God and his Christ. During these weeks the Holy Spirit, like a huge tidal wave, swept over the city and community with such irresistible force that more than eight hundred and fifty souls, ranging from the tender youth in the primary schools to the bent and shambling octogenarian, were brought to Christ. Departing from their usual practice of confining their operations to the church edifices, the army of the Lord, by numerous parades, characterized by wings and fervent prayers, as well as the choir of the Lord, God's Word at opportune moments and stragetic points, carried their cruisers into every nook and cranny of the city. Such was the convicting power of these unexpected onslaughts, gambling dives, and dens of vicious violence and obliterated as though by the tortuous winds of a furious cyclone. The idea of this great union revival had its birth in the resourceful mind of Dr. J. W. Sanders, pastor of St. intimate, heart and responsive impulse in the hearts of the poor. God preacher in the city, irrespective of denomination. Dr. King, because of previous engagements, returned to Richmond at the end of the second week and was followed by Dr. S. T. Eldridge, of Petersburg, Va. Dr. Eldridge is one of the ablest preachers of today. He has his best, and acquitted himself with his work, and his great work and wonderful sermons, gigante a campaign it is needless to state that the services of many preachers were necessary to the successful prosecution of the work in hand; hence, following is a list of the preachers who were called on to preach, some almost daily, during this campaign: Drs. C. E. Jones, A. A. E. C. Jones, B. H. Hughby, E. T. Melver, B. C. Harrod, G. C. Gauss, bell, Revs. B. C. Harrod, W. S. Sayles, M. C. Holland, James Howard, J. E. Tynes and Dr. S. A. Howell. The closing feature of the revival was a union baptizing in the chilly waters of the historic James river last Sunday, where, in the presence of surging multitudes the most of this great number put on Christ by baptism. There are yet many others to be baptized. Simple justice demands a special mention of the men whose peculiar energies, situations, and influence especially conduced to the consummate success of this great movement. These were Dr. A. A. Galvin, pastor of the First Baptist church, and president of the Baptist Minister's Conference, superhuman capacities of body, mind, and an intense, uniting, and burning zeal for the cause of Christ: Dr. J. W. Sanders, pastor of St Paul A. M. E. church, a man of no less zeal and untiring devotion, than the greatest of his profession: Dr. C. E. Jones, pastor of Zion Baptist church, a veritable galvanizer of spirit, and the offspring of offering to Dr. J. Iver, the energetic young pastor of Walter's Temple. A. M. E. Z.: Rev M. C. Holland, pastor Second Baptist church: Rev E. T. Veals, Dr. S. Howell, and a number of other officers of smaller fields. ews and Advertisements of City of Portsmouth and Vicinity Mrs. Edith E.

President Waits While News Is Given Reporter (The Associated Neuro Press) Washington, D.C.—President Harding, having been a reporter once himself and knowing how it is, stopped the wheels of government business five minutes and "held the phone" so he wouldn't interrupt a score of newspaper men who were getting a story from Under-Secretary Fisher at the state department. It happened this way much to the amusement of other officials who usually reverse the process and let reporter wait. President Harding called up Mr. Fletcher, but the latter was talking the reporters. When Mr. Fletcher learned that the President had called he hastily concluded the subject under discussion and went to call up the president, who he found still "holding the line." The clock showed the president of the United States had waited five minutes so he wouldn't interrupt the reporters in their daily work. South American Labor Movement Considers Negro (The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—Any consideration of the labor movement in South America must take into account the question of race, 'according to Martha Dobbin, in the monthly review. While Argentina, Uruguay, southern Brazil and to a considerable extent, Chile are distinctly "white man's land," that portion of the continent lying north of the tropic of Capricorn contains about 40,000,000 Indians American Indians of type C, thirds of the total population. In addition there are several million Negroes and Mulattoes mostly in Brazil. The white population of this region even if the "near whites" are included averages not more than 10 per cent, the proportion varying greatly with the different regions. It appears then, that taken as a whole "Latin America is racially not Latin but Amerindian or Negroid with a thin Spanish or Portuguese descent, most of the so-called 'white' being 'near white' are the hybrid stocks, the Mestizos the cross between the white and Indian the mulattoes the cross between the white and black and the Zambos the cross between Indian and Negro. BIRDS HELP MAN Remember the birds this spring. The possibilities of the increase of forest insects are so appalling that potent forces to keep them within bounds are indespenable; otherwise, insects might destroy all forest trees, says the American Forestry Magazine. The numbers of insect species that attack a single tree sometimes runs into hundreds, and the individuals of each species, if unchecked, would soon number untold millions. Before such countless hordes man would be powerless.

(The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.—"I do not believe that you or other members of the committee on judiciary will want to see the adjournment of the present session of Congress without reporting an anti-lynching bill."

The Guide Publishing Co. Telephone 23100 --- plain to be seen from Senator McCormick's letter that what he desires most of all is action. As one of the most prominent members of the senate, and one of the steering committee, senator McCormick may be regarded as speaking with authority. The Senator's letter was addressed to senator Knute Nelson, chairman of the judiciary committee, and follows: 3,500 LYNCHINGS IN 35 YEARS "I venture to call your attention to the two bills introduced on April 12, 1921, during the extraordinary session of Congress, by senator Spencer and myself, and the House (Dyer) bill, read and referred to your committee on January 27th of this year. At the same time I may note that during the 66th of March, I voted that the 27th of March, and Senator Spencer introduced on the 21st of the following April, bills like those introduced by us during the extraordinary session of the present Congress: "The measures, all of them seek to put an end to lynching, which continues in this country, a blot upon our civilization a menace to all law and to all constituted authority. It do not seek to argue the respective merits of the several bills to which I have referred, or to labor the question of constitutional concession in connection with the bill. I cunning to support any anti-lynching bill which the committee will report and I do not doubt that Senator Spencer is of the same mind. I write to urge consideration of the Dialogues, Phamphets, Booklets, Etc.

Guide Publishing INCORPORATED 711-717 Highland Avenue Norfolk, Virginia 23100 bills and action by the committee. "During the last thirty-five years there have been nearly 3500 lynchings in the United States. Whatever may be true of the past, today lynching and race rioting is not a local or sectional, but a national issue. During the last two or three years there have been lynchings, as there have been outbreaks of violence, between mobs of other races, from the Lakes to the Gulf coast from the Missouri to the Atlantic. I do not believe that you or the other members of the committee on Judiciary will want to see the adjournment of the present session of Congress without reporting an anti-lynching bill. Our common conscience and common judgment demand that Congress act to stamp out lynching." LYNCH LAW MUST GO. "Lynch Law Must Go!" That slogan is being universally adopted by editors and various organizations as the call to action on this important legislation. It has been recommended that this slogan be placed conspicuously in the newspapers and kept there until final passage of the bill. There has never been a bill in which Colored Americans are more vitally interested.

"NEGRO MUSIC AND JAZZ" Students of Negro music and members of the race generally who may read it will be interested in the following expression of opinion which appeared a few days ago in the editorial columns of the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch: "Negroes are imitative. They are mimics by nature. They are prone, however, to embellish. Their native music, usually a monotonous sing-song, for all its syncopated rhythem, lends itself admirably to this art. Being mimics, moreover, they have been quick to catch and adapt songs and melodies they have heard. "Negroes in the South picked up Spanish, French and English melodies and then added their own embellishments. They "ragged" them, singing them in their barbaric, syncopated rythms. That is why there are such haunting, familiar refrains in many rag-time songs from negro sources. The imitative negro has simply picked up bits of folk-song, melodies that struck his fickle fancy and adapted them. These ragtime songs, being heard by white men, who did not recognize the original melody in its syncopated form, were again taken over and adapted, sometimes with fearful barbaric effects afterward denominated jazz." We had thought upon splendid authority that it was the late Jamese Reese Europe, Negro, director of the famous Fifteenth New York regiment band, who originated and introduced jazz music in New York. It is an almost undisputed fact that Europe and his band introduced jazz music in London and Paris during the world war. If jazz were evolved from Negro ragtime it appears that a Negro first handed it down to white men to elaborate upon. As to Negro music There is much historical and scientific controversy over the origination of Negro folk-song. There are two classes of intellectual white people. One, entirely sympathetic with the race, and friendly, holds to the theory, based upon so-called scientific knowledge, derived from years of observation of the raw slave and his illiterate descendants, that there is nothing original about the Negro; that he has no initiative. Thus we have Prof. Huger W. Jervery, writing in "The South in the Building of the Nation" (vol. 7, page 393) that "The Negro is a born copyist * * * * * The stuff out of which his songs are composed was the imported raw material of Scotch, Irish and English songs which came to the South with the early colonists and have disappeared, except in this form." Despite this bold attempt to deny that the race has any inherent genius for music Prof. Jervey says: "The plantation song of the Southern Negro is the only real development of folk-music that America has known. * * * * They constitute a rich field of melodic material for future composers," and he goes on to declare that this music was the inspiration of Chadwick in the Scherzo of his Second Symphony; Dvorak's New World Symphony and important compositions by Gotschalk and Schoenfield. This coldly scientific type of our Southern white friends seem to write most of the books and histories, unfortunately. There is a great deal of truth in the assumption that the Negro is imitative. He could hardly be otherwise in a civilization that is several thousand years ahead of him and in which he was held slave and illiterate for two and a half centuries. But the Negro has also been imitated, much to the edification and delectation of his white friends. No comedian is as funny as a black face comedian, which accounts for so many burnt-cork artists on the American stage. If Bert Williams had not already achieved fame on the stage when Al Jolson appeared he would no doubt have been accused of imitating the white man. The other class of intellectual white people refuse to close their minds upon the scientific theory that the Negro has no inherent genius; that he has no initiative. And so far as music is concerned the faith of this class is frequently justified, as in the case of young Nathaniel Dett, full blooded Negro, whose original compositions have attracted nation-wide attention; whose anthems are sung in the largest churches in New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland and other cities, and whose productions are turned out by the leading music publishers in America. Then there are Coleridge-Taylor, Will Marian Cook, J. Rosendall Johnson and many others, whose work surpass the stage of mimicry. But the most convincing proof that the Negro brought his music from Africa is found in, "Songs and Tales from the Dark Continent," by Natalie Curtis Burlin (G. Schirmer, New York and Boston). After years of painstaking study of Negro music, Mrs. Burlin has recorded a volume of songs, as sung by native Africans, interpreted them into the English language, and of her discoveries she says: "Most primitive music is expressed in rhythm and melody alone, all voices singing in unison or in octaves usually conceived as unison. But the African has acquired polyphony of a rarely interesting type, and from the evidence at hand, it is safe to assume that a slave when Europe was laboriously making erudite literature in polyphonic art, the African had already developed part singing to the elaborate degree found among black native peoples today; while the round or catch, had probably been in use in Africa for hundreds of years. It was this same polyphonic instinct which developed in America into the intuitive gift for extemporized harmony so marked among the Negroes of the United States." The point is, that the Negro's rare gift for music was brought to America in slave ships, and is not an erudite absorption of something dropped in America by Spanish, French and English settlers. If America has contributed any original music to civilization it owes that contribution to its citizens that are descendants of Africans. LIBERIAN COMMISSION AND THE LOAN Some hidden influences have operated to hold up the proposed loan of 45,000,000 pounds for Government, to the public of the state, the opposition to which work begun. The public has been informed. We are in consultation. The above information will be used by the official statements of the Government to the public, the authorities of the Government. Mankind has had enough of wars and rumors of wars. The workers of the Nations are weary of endless taxation for war purposes, which grind the life blood out of them, and of which they have never had an end. Today many of the peoples of Europe are starving and freezing, as they have been doing all winter, because of the devastations of the World War, with a thousand years of war debts to be paid out of the sweat and agony and sacrifice of the toiling masses. It is bad enough in our own country, where many feel the pangs of hunger who never know it before, but the conditions in Europe are vastly more deplorable. Christianity has failed, utterly failed, if Christian mankind, shall not be able to make wars among them impossible, and if it is not made possible, the Christian Nations will destroy themselves and their lands will become as tryanny-ridden and desolate of human prosperity and happiness as those of Asia and Africa. We should all be glad that the Arms treaties have been ratified as a sign of more peace and less taxation in the affairs of mankind. Spring fever, is the nom de plume for downright laziness. Chrity begins at home, but it's a poor policy if it ends there. The less a woman knows the longer it takes her to tell it. Paying compliments would be less popular if it required as much effort as paying bills. Another way to improve the silent drama would be to silence the mechanical devices used to provide the music for the show. Between the chickens and the birds the early planted seeds won't sleep and wake undisturbed in mother earth. it the United States would have a virtual protectorate of the West African Republic, may or may not be one of the restraining influences. Our Government does not appear disposed to make the loan unless it has a guaranty that the money will be properly expended and principal and interest safeguarded. In the meantime Sohator France, of Maryland has introduced a bill for the creation of a Commission of seven, with an appropriation, to be appointed by the President, which shall visit Liberia for the purpose of extending the good wishes of our Government to that of Liberia and, if agreeable to the latter, to consult with it as to the economic and social progress of the country in recent years and as to any methods of co-operation that may be mutually helpful. Meanwhile, we dare say, the Liberian government would rather welcome the $5,000,000 loan than the seven Commissioners. The three distinctively black Nationalities are having a hard time of it to preserve their independence and make ends meet. They have our sympathy. "GUN TOTING" BOYS There is so much lawlessness in the air that it is natural for the children to be inoculated with it. Precocity among children extends even to marriage, a larger number of youths under age than ever before being reported as taking upon them the obligations of man and wife. Any observer can judge for himself that the children of this generation are more forward, if not wiser, than the grown-ups of the past generation. The story of young Powers, sixteen years old, the son of a police officer, who shot into a group of half-dozen colored boys, shellfishing on the east shore of the Elizabeth river, killing young Cleveland Washington, reads like a story out of "A Dream Book." Young Powers emptied five or six shots into the company of youngsters, and then returned to the school house and his studies. What was he doing down that way? What had he to do with it, as the land the boys were shellfishing on did not belong to him or any of his? And who taught him to "tote a gun" and abuse boys who have as many rights in law and equity as he, by calling them offensive names? He could not well have picked up all this by the wayside. He must have learned it of the elders. Now he has ruined his life by having the blood of a fellowman on his conscience. Will young Powers be punished? Why not? The law should be no respector of persons. ON THE WAY TO THE NAVAL ACADEMY Congressman Martin Ansorge of the Twenty-first Congress District of New York, who has a large Afro-American constituency, has appointed Emmile Trowle Holley as one of the four cadets to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and Mr. Ansorge is getting all of the advertising possible out of the appointment, by and with the assistance of the New York daily newspapers. Mr. Ansorge could hardly get elected to Congress if his Afro-American fellow citizens should make up their minds not to support him, and that is why he and his friends are making a great big noise about the appointment and why he made it. That is a good sign. Other Congressmen, in other parts of the country, should be brought to look at the matter as Mr. Ansorge and his friends appear to look at it. The word has been spoken and will not be recalled that Afro-Americans are going to stop voting people into office who forget them after they are elected or who betray them, as some did in their votes on the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. Bascom Slemp was one of them. Young Mr. Holley may not pass the examination, although he has the necessary scholastic preparation. He will not have the sympathy of the Board of Examiners, as prejudice against letting Afro-Americans into the Naval Academy is even stronger than prejudice against letting them get into the West Point Military Academy. These institutions and their officers are public servants, but they have always taken the attitude that they are the masters of those who employ and pay them. If young Holley passes the examination he will have rough sledding from start to finish with the cadets, who are an exclusive lot and become ultra aristocratic as soon as they qualify to be educated at the public expense. We have never been able to figure just as they figure, and we are sure we never shall be. We have never had a graduate of the Naval Academy, while we have had three of the Military Academy. If Mr. Holley gets through he will deserve a gold medal, which Congress should vote him, and the appreciation of his race, which we shall help lavish upon him. ARMS TREATIES ARE ALL RATIFIED It should make for the peace of the world that the Federal Senate has at last succeeded in ratifying all of the treaties growing out of the Conference for the Limitation of Armaments, recently held in Washington, and which was one of the most spectacular and significant conferences of the Nations in the history of mankind. There was a determination on the part of a few Senators to block the ratification of the treaties and thus disappoint the hopes of mankind, but, in the show down, it did not appear that they had as many members on their side as their much talking indicated. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "IS AMERICA SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY?" By William McDougall. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons. Price $1.75. Postage 10 cents. This book preaches the gospel of the eugenists, improve the stock of the race. Let the strong, the mentally and morally efficient have many children. If birth control is to be practiced let it be at the bottom of society, not at the top. "There is no good reason for the belief that civilized man is in any way superior to his savage ancestors. In fact the probability seems to be that he is "statistically inferior." Under civilization qualities tend to deteriorate rather than to improve, and it has been the deterioration of racial stock that has caused the eclipse of each civilization in the past. These are some of the things that Prof. McDougall of Harvard University says in his six lectures given at the Lowell Institute in Boston. They are provocative of much thought and as I read them also of both amusement and indifference. My indignation is at the writer's attitude toward the Negro. His use of figures regarding psychological tests of colored children is of course entirely proper, but when he gives as his chief authority on Negro traits that antiquated last century, kindly Kentucky professor, N. S. Shaler, and when he quotes a servant girl anecdote as conclusive evidence of the submissiveness of the black people, he is ridiculous. He would not dream of writing that way regarding any other group of people, not even the Germans who since the war have become distinctly inferior to the French, and whose scholarship may be sneered at. But one's amusement becomes indignation at the trick played in the appendix. We have here three pictures introduced by the caption. "Commentary on the proposition that all men are born with equal capacities for moral and mental development." And below that in much larger letters: "Portraits of three men all of whom in their youth were denied the advantage of schooling and the refinements of civilization." The first portrait is Abraham Lincoln. The seend, Tama Bulan, a Borneo chief who did very much for his people. Before turning the page to see who the third would be, I stopped to guess. I felt sure it would be a Negro and thought first of Washington, then I believed he would be too light in color and decided on Dr. Moton or some very able African, turned and found the picture of "an inferior type of the Ila-speaking people," a tragic, animal-like, hunted face of a vary low order of savage. And this is part of the caption under it. "We are told nothing of his moral and intellectual qualities; but the most resolute optimistic humanitarians will hardly claim him as a "mute inglorious Milton," or oven a "village Hampden." Nor is it easy to suppose that they could contemplate with equanimity the substitution of the Anglo-American stock by persons of this type." Now this is just the sort of trick that was played upon the Negro fifteen or even ten years ago, but that I had believed today impossible. Let us be glad it is unusual. But it starts one, (if as like myself, one begins with the pictures at the end of the book) with a fear lost the author will be prejudiced in favor of his own race and the fear is immediately realized. And this is the second count against Prof. McDougall, he places his own race at the top. Because of her superior mental and moral qualities, England has conquered the world. He compares the Nordic with the Mediterranean races, and finds that the Nordic, his own race is the better qualified of the two. Especially he emphasises her tonicity and her assertiveness. These qualities make her the great conqueror, and he speaks with enthusiasm of her rule in India. One is reminded in reading the book of Lothrop Stoddard's "Rising Tide of Color." Both writers show the same fear at the threatened downfall of the white fan's present civilization. How to strengthen it, is McDougall's question, and his answer is by adding more assertive and tenacious people to the population by the careful breeding of selected types. This can be done by subsidizing neglected families as they bring forth children. I was in London when on International Committee of Eugenics was meeting at Dublin and I remember reading wittery account of their proceedings. They were described as spending their days in endeavoring to find out how best to reproduce a race that should be indistinguishable from the members of their own Committee. This is Prof. McDougall's attitude and it greatly impairs, "Is America Safe for Democracy?" But putting this self-admiration aside and looking at the people of America quite apart from race, we find that our civilization tends to a deterioration in stock. The city is one cause, that whirlpool into which the best-youth comes, enjoys itself, does good work, but does not bring up large families, and often brings up no families, at all. Feminism has kept many able women from marrying, who formerly would have married merely to have a home. Modern war- fare, that most terrible of all non-eugenic forces, keeps the unfit at home and sends the keen eyed and quick-witted into danger, prevents their marriage, often returns them diseased or leaves them on the battle field. And all the we are inventing new processes, adding new things to our already complex life so that we need an ever increasing keenness of intelligence to keep up with the life about us. While the demands go up the stock goes down. This is the somewhat gloomy view that our writer, gives us. I should enjoy discoursing on it, but it is he who is writing on eugenics, not I. I would, however, make one suggestion. It is that the psychological tests, he often quotes that, are given so commonly now to children, and that are used in rating ability, be arranged by very divergent types of people. Let us have the North American Indian, for instance, whom Prof. McDougall of course finds stupid, devise tests for the sons and daughters of Harvard professors, tests such as the Indian would want his child to pass; let the Negro with his extraordinary musical ability and deep artistic spirit, set the tests for the child of the Nordic race. Tests like his would be interesting for they would show the great diversity in our civilization, not simply the attainments along certain specified lines. Past civilizations and present civilizations are based upon force and upon an enslaved or near-enslaved working class population. The best blood rulers for a while and then is ruled by the blood of those who have been despised. Former aristocrats are governed by Cooks and Bakers; Taylers, Drapers and Glovers; Gardners, Shephardas, Fishers and Seamen; Tanners, Potters, Carpenters and Plummers; Wrights and multitudinous Smiths. What a comedown! And yet you will find all these names not only in the telephone book but in a college catalogue. If our civilization is to endure does not it need-not so much the continuation of the stock that is ruling at any given time, as the bringing into play all that is best in all the stock. If we had that-we should certainly have a civilization unlike any thing in the past. But its basis could be neither force nor exploitation, and perhaps it is too much to expect Prof. McDougall even to imagine it. "Inquiry Into Occupation and Administration of Haiti and Santo Domingo," United States Congress. Committee on Haiti and Santo Domingo, United States Congress. Part 3. Printed for the use of select committee on Haiti and Santo Domingo. Washington Government Printing Office, 1922. May be obtained free on application to Elisha Hanson, Clerk, Select Committee on Haiti and Santo Domingo. Much has been written on Haiti and Santo Domingo, but this government document is the most human word that I have yet seen. We have in it a testimony taken in Haiti for five days and testimony and reports of the United States Occupation in San Domingo. The Haitian material is the more readable. It was secured at Port-au-Prince, Hinche, and the plantation of Adalaye. Then, to the intense disappointment of the Haitians, the Commission went on to San Domingo leaving a large part of the island quite unvisited. But they heard stories that should have startled America had they been reported. Here are a few of them. M. Jose Derebier at Hinche: "Two brothers of mine, one 15 the other 25, were killed. The one 25 was a cripple. He was sitting on a bed of rice when a white man with a revolver killed him. He took the other boy by the arm, and said, 'Come out of here, garcon,' and with the same revolver shot him twice." Madame Maxine: I have to tell the Commission of how my mother and brother were killed. My brother came and called me after my mother was shot. There were three white men gong along the road. They were passing and they came in. My mother was shot through the side and in both breats. My brother was taken prisoner by the white men and maltreated and sent to Cape Haitien and died in prison. M. Mecier Belloni, Plantation of Adalaye, I lost my father and mother. They were killed by marines under the command of Becker. I was sleeping in another house. They took my father and tied him to a tree, my mother was standing inside, and then set fire to the house. When my mother cried out they called her inside the house. There was another boy in the house and when they shot my mother, the boy saw that they had tied up my father and ran out, and when he came out they started shooting at him until he had to reach a ravine; and when he fell into the ravine they left him and came back and killed my father, breaking his head. Mme. Colicourt Rozier: I am going to show you where I received the bullets in the fingers and above the left knee. All my children have died. Becker, or a man, with a name like that. did it. There were eight children, they were shot first and then fire was set to the house and they were all burned. One feels that the volume ought to have another name: "Lynchings by Americans." Volume two, Haiti. These stories shot only too well with the atrocities committed against the Negroes in the United States. Here is the same carelessness as to human life, the same burning, the same torturing. There is further testimony of reputable citizens who were thrown out of their homes that the marines night occupy them; imprisoned without trial, tortured. One man was burned with an iron over his body and legs. Another was handcuffed and then hung up to, an iron bar by a chain attached to his wrists, because he would not lend his horse to a marine. Throughout all the testimony, one reads of a tragic, brutal treatment of a foreign people, whose country we have no more right to rule, than they would have to rule ours. Of Santo Domingo the report is concerned largely with statistics showing the growth of trade, the building of roads, the establishment of schools since the American occupation. It is an interesting setting forth of the imperial policy into which we have entered. But somehow the Santo Dominicans don't like it. It is something as though Andrew Carnegie, when he saw that our country needed more libraries, instead of offering to help finance a library if the town would raise a part of the needed sum, had raised a regiment, gone into the town, fired shots, imprisoned those, the most prominent citizens, who dared to defy him and had then taxed the people for the library, that he believed they ought to have. His money would not have gone for books, but for soldiers and bullets. We should have had the libraries, but I doubt if we should have enjoyed them. Ceftainly the Santo Domingo people have something to say against the way in which American civilization has been thrust upon them. They even complain at times that the funds have not been honestly administered by the Americans. They tell us politely to get out and to let them mind their own affairs. If they did have a revolution occasionally, the Americans were not molested, and they would like to know what business it is of the United States whether they are having internal troubles or not. Testimony like this makes one puzzle over one's history. We were taught at school, that the most horrible character in American history was Benedict Arnold, the traitor who tried to deliver the American army over to the British. But in this report we learn that not the Benedict Arnolds but the Washingtons are the traitors. The Santo Dominican citizen, Francisco Cordero is accused by the Brigade commander of treason, and the evidence against him is that he told his people that they should fight against the American occupation as they had fought against the Spanish. It does make a lot of difference whether America is playing the part of a stalwart citizenship that demands liberty or of a ruling power that demands taxes. Two reasons are always given for imperialism. One is that the country taken over by the imperial power is being abused by some power and should be rescued; the other is that the country is not able to govern itself, is frequently given to revolution, and should be rescued from its own weakness. These are the reasons given, but the real reason is different from either; it is that the imperial power wants to exploit the country, desires not only its trade but its raw materials. Haiti did not allow foreigners to buy land in any quantity. Its magnificent forests are almost untouched. Its peasantry, while ignorant of book learning, are happy and led kindly, useful lives. In a few years they will be laborers for the exploiting Americans, their condition will closely resemble that of the laborers on the great sugar plantations in our South. God pity them. And pity America if this is its conception of democracy and pity the people of the race of Toussaint L. Overture, citizens of America who can let these things go unchallenged.

It was the first of August. The dingy little Boston office tucked away in a corner of the third floor of the Sufaner building was suffocating. Witting like a rose in a 'too hot house, Rita, bookkeeper, stenographer, salesgirl and telephone operator combined. The importance of her varied callings, toiled up the monotonous, seemingly endless, numerical column. The accounts 'receivable trial balance was 30 cents out of the way. The other balance sheets were 'not yet touched'. A stack of charges had to be reckoned, bills made out and mailed. Her wearisome mental ascent was interrupted by the entrance of a funny customer. Next, the switchboard claimed her attention. And between times she hunted for that 30 cents. Noontime, her mind in a figured whirl, nerves on edge, utterly disgusted with life and herself in particular, she slummed the books on the disagreeing sum, stuck a notice of "Will Return at 1" on the door, and left for lunch. On the street she sniffed the sizzling dust-laden atmosphere, so that she wished it were closing time, so that she could go home. Home on the little hill, the trees, meant cool, fresh, health-giving air. She directed her steps to a ple-plus-cream-dining place. Those detainable figures, successfully put out of sight, persisted in dancing a continuum tormenting us within Rita's vision. At the counter she shut her eyes for a moment, as if to banish those abominable numbered persecutors. She must—will—forget figures, at least during her short stay away from them. Unfortunately a male "jinx" near by grunted, "Yup! I'm FIGURING on the mortgage to help me out." Rita gulped her coffee and left hastily. Couldn't she ever forget the word FIGURE even for a moment? She stopped to admire some hats in a window, hoping thereby to drive the figured invaders from out her mind, an enthusiastic feminine voice jailed her senses with, "Aren't the FIGURES on that hat perfectly ducky!" Was there no getting away from that devilish FIGURE? She hurried to the Charles River promenade. Saint breeze clasped tag with a little brown curt that had escaped from beneath her chic little hat. She took a deep breath as she soated herself. Ah! here was real solace. "The glorious deep is too vast, too grand to be measured and bound by petty limited numbers," she murmured quietly. Her relaxation, mental and physical, was complete. But peace was murdered in its prime when she caught the words, "Yah! He cut a swell FIGEBR at the dance and—" Rita fed. She waited to bear no more for obvious reasons. On her way to the office she caught snatches of conversation. It seemed as if she were taking a figure's "In FIGURIN' its goin' to rain." "—FIGURES cannot lie—" "FIGURATIVELY speaking—" "it sure was a FIGURE A cloth!" "Everywhere joy, sorrow, diverse things and people were spooked of in harsh, calculating terms! That night her dream world was FIGURES. Monstrous one-eyed eleven stunked stiffly about, glowering savagely. Enormous mouthed, roly-poly zeroes, gaping, weirdly employing rollicking methods of locomotion, rebelliously pursued her. Curved and rebelling the fantastic contortions attempted to strangle her. She suvoke, graping for breath. Sleep vanished that night. At the breakfast table, in reply to her mother's solicitous query as to the cause of the black circles under the eyes, Hitt burst into tears. After somewhat recovering her composure, she vehemently confessed: "I couldn't sleep all night on account of that hookkeeping. Those figures will drive me crazy. All day long everybody, everytime, everywhere it's FIGURES, FIGURES, FIGURES! And at night it's worse. I can't leave my job because it's hard to get another and I can't afford to loaf. Oh," she wailed, "I don't know what to do." "Why don't you marry Joe?" childed her mother. "He's been after you for the last two years, and you keep putting him off because you got a silly notion of financial independence. You're 24 now and it'll take most a lifetime; to get as much as Joe is getting. A girl is different. Meanwhile, you'd be wasting your whole life's happiness." That evening a private conference was held and satisfactorily settled to all parties concerned. Some years later we find Rita diligently cultivating her back yard garden. She figured how many rows could be laid out in that little plot and the amount of seed that would be required. In a local magazine she had won first prize for sending in the best planned housekeeping budget. Five-year old Tommy was the pride of his mother. He could "finger" like "lightin'u" and "carry" in his head.

Mason, Richard B. Boulding NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Interest To OF INTEREST TO By Miriam Dixon Mrs. Dixon: What is your idea on the limitation of families? Do you think it wrong? —MARIE Bless your soul, I do not know what to say. I simply adore children and that means no, but on the other hand I like to see them have lots of warm comfortable shoes. Soft woolly shirts and wrappers and warm coats and leggings; bots of bread, butter, milk all hive and greet me. This means yes, because the average parents are not able to provide these things for a large family. My frank opinion, however, is that we cannot regulate the birth rate. There are some things all that we said and done, the public highways are overrun with children of the things we should leave with of the things we should have with God. Who First I have been married twelve months and this is our first quarrel. I feel that I was right in my contention and he will not yield his point. Mrs. Dixon, I am already pleased but my husband is not over it yet. What would you do? —ELIZABETH I would make up as soon as possible. Suppose you are right, you are unhappy and what difference does it make? Never let the sun go down to your wrath. The couple that learn early how to forgive and forget usually live happily ever after. Will you please tell me why people are not as loving after as before marriage? —UNMARRIED Bless your heart, who said they weren't? Try it. A CURE FOR INDIFFERENCE I am going with a boy who professes to love me dearly and I know I love him. Some times he is the theatre or asks me out. I am afraid he is not serious in his regard for me. —ANXIOUS. This boy may be trying to make a success of his life before going too far toward committing himself. He is a man by the number of theatre shows he gives you or the money he spends on amusements. Slow spenders are usually good providers. Go out with other boys, have a good time. One boy friend is not enough for a healthy growing girl. The more the merrier. —— YOUR DAD IS RIGHT I love my dad, indeed I do, Mrs. Dixon, but he refuses to allow me any For Our Wide Awake Boys And Girls THE EASTER RABBIT Once upon a time there was a poor woman with nine children, the youngest four years old. It was Easter time and she had nothing to give them, so she was very sad. This made the children unhappy. The youngest, known on her little eagle and placing her chubby hands under her chin tried to think what could be done. "Every body has a fairy godmother," she said to herself, and I am going to find her. Slipping quietly out of the house she wandered into the woods, looking into every hole and hollow tree. She came to a little brown house with a gable roof. A little brown woman sat knitting in the doorway. When she saw Margaret she laid down her knitting. "Bless my soul who are you, and what are you doing here, she is my wife. Failily a fairy godmother, we are so very poor that mother says there will be no gifts for Easter. Can you tell me where she lives? Every child has a fairy godmother and I must find her." "And so you have Margaret. I am your fairy godmother, and serve you untimely needed me, run home and we will see what we Mrs. Emma V. Kelley and daugh, ter, Mrs. Buena Jackson, left Sunday for New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The I. O.

It doesn't require nearly so much effort to run into debt as to crawl out. WHO FIRST fun. He says I'm too young to go out with boys. I am in high school. —SWEET SIXTEEN. Your dad is right. I am a mother of girls and I am always hearing this and that about boys going together. What is the proper thing to do? I wish to play fair with my children. —A MOTHER. Parents would be more successful with their children if they would encourage wholesome association under a chaperone and again if they themselves spent more time in company with them. Knew your own child, let him not be a stranger to you and you need not fear him. OUT OF THE SKILLETT WATER Have waffles for breakfast and see how easily its done.

LET'S HAVE FISH FOR DINNER BROOLED MACKPEEL Choose large fish, freshen and dry thoroughly. Heat the broiler and rub the bars with bacon fat then lay the fish flesh down on the broiler and place it over hot pots to cook to a boiling butter. Turn the broiler and brown the other side lightly. Serve on a hot platter and cover with melted butter. Garnish with lemon and bacon. Boneless herrings which come in glass jars make delicious sandwiches. They should be soaked for a moment before being boiled and then toasted. Meanwhile make a sufficient number of pieces of fresh toast, butter and on each piece put a crisp lettuce leaf, arrange fish on the lettuce and top with toast. CODISH FRUTTERS Measure one large cupful of the flaked fish and add to it two cupfuls of raw potatoes, pared and cut into small pieces. Place fish and potatoes together in a saucepan with cold water and cook till potatoes are very tender; then drain and mash them with a fork. Add the melted butter, an egg. Drop by spoonfuls into broiling fat and cook to a golden brown, drain on paper and serve piping hot. will see." When Margaret went out of sight the fairy godmother put her knitting away and before the sun set called all the people in the neighborhood to come. The children must have something for Easter. Get together as many eggs as possible, dye them with bits of calico and painted paper (do not let the children know) and on Easter morning come the woods where the children were again happy, especially Margarets and on Easter morning the woods was alive with children's voices. The fairy godmother was the first to arrive. She hid eggs everywhere, and the children gave the sign to hunt and the little ones flew here and there finding beautiful eggs in every nook and under roots. How did they get here? Who laid them? Are they real eggs? Or you have them father do come. Or you are the bestest. Many have you found, and a dozen other questions were being asked. Suddenly a big brown bunnie, frightened by the noise jumped out of the bushes. Oh it is the Easter bunnie. And it is the Easter eggs and from that day a rabbit has been the children's emblem of Easter. BOOKER WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL The enrollment at Booker T.

DISCOVER NEW NEGRO AUTHOR Paris,—After Rene Maran, who won the coveted literary prize known as the "Prix Goncourt," with his tale of the African jungle, "Batabula," another Nogro author has been found. King Bohazin of Dahua, a nephew, King Bohazin of Dahua, a nephew, written a book on "The Involution of the Metamorphoses and Metempsychoses of the Universe." The work really is an essay, on the theory of the formation of language, followed by a series of explanations, some of which are worthy of La Rochefoncauld. Here are a few. "The wise man is he who is sensible enough to confess that he is no better than his fellows." "Specialization is an alibi created by Savanta" bulderdash is the only obstacle I have encountered in science. "Happiness is like health; the greater and more perfect it is the more unconscious we are." Houseou has this to say of his native land: "Africa has not yet contributed her share to the life of cities and to civilization. Her turn will come. Beware of those men of bronze; their strength and radiance will astound your land mist; theirs is the country of the sun." SYNDICATE TO FORM SUGAR COMPANY New York, N.

Gains Control Over Estate Kansas City, Kans.,—Miss Sarah Rector, America's $1,000,000 oil queen, is rejoicing at her home this week following the decision of Judge J. E. Guinot, deciding that she was competent to take care of her own money. The Judge not only refused the plan of managing her estates, but complimented Miss Sarah highly on her intelligence and thrift. Miss Rector's wealth is derived from her allotment in the great Oushing oil fields, one of the richest fields in the nation, where she has built an allotment under the Greek Indian Act, which gave Negroes held as slaves by Indians the same property rights as their masters. The allotment yields an annual income of between $30,000 and $40,000. A large part of this revenue Miss Rector has in liberty bonds and farm land. She has 900 000 invested in the bonds and her 970 acres of land are valued at nearly $100,000. Miss Rector, who is a pure blooded Negro, lives with her parents in what was once one of the most passionate districts of the city, but is now a wealthy colored folk. Apartently she supplies both the funds and the financial genius for the family, and she manages the household well and economically. She owns an automobile, not pretentious but good, and in the matter of education she averages the average girl of her age. She is a high school graduate, but she did not win any honors at school.

"Jazz" and "Blues" In France To Stay (The Associated Negro Presse) Chicago, Ill.—"Jazz and blues are the expression of the extremely noisy offering of the modern soul, tortured by the crudities and exigencies of the business world. It is an authentic form of musical art. It will be permanent ni France—but nothing can be permanent in America where the fickle women dominate all things." Lucien Boyer, "The Irving Berlin of France," analysed the soul of Jazz and laid open the soul of the saxophone player and found it good to look upon. "The saxophone player—the symbol of this music—is just as necessary to the modern people as the man who gives them their brand and butter. He gives them jazz—the delicious melancholy dole of the restless people." "The man and the maid, toddling to the raucous strains of the moaning saxophone, paints as no poet or painter could depict, the state of soul under which the young folk are laboring. The gayety of the lilting waltzes and two steps of the prewar days would be a jarring note in these days of post war melancholy. For we are sad and rebellious even while we dance." Jnzz, it would appear, has Paris more securely in its grip than America, for according to M. Boyer, a musician, the makers of musical instrument which produce weird and barbaric noises, and lost it he understood that this infux of jazz be confined to the cheap cabarets, he tells us that only the best people dance to jazz music. Mr. Boyer's best known success was "Ma Madelon de la victorie" a sequel to Louis Bousquet's "Madelon" soldier song. Ask Probe Of Jim-Crow Travel New York.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today announced that the Interstate Commerce Commission had been asked to extend its investigation of discrimination in freight rates in Southern interstate railway traffic to the discrimination against colored passengers by segregation in Jim-Crow cars. The letter, which is signed by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Advancement Association, is as follows: Hon. George B. M. Ginty, Secretary, Interstate Commerce Commission, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, having received a copy of the Order in Docket Number 13494 issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission and enacting that investigation be made of a A. from and within Southern territory, berts to request that that order be extended to apply to passenger as well as freight The phrase in the Commission's press release explaining the need for this investigation of freight rates could be applied verbatim to the passenger situation, for "the rates in question, in many instances, differ materially for substantially similar hauls on like classes of traffic," as it is a notorious and universally admitted fact that colored passengers in Southern traffic are charged first class passenger rates but are served with inadequate, inferior and insufficient accommodations. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the event of compliance with its request by the Interstate Commerce Commission, will undertake to gather and present at the hearings of the Commission, necessary evidence covering this point. Yours very truly, JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary.

C.—For some time) candidates for the Varsity and Fresh- man baseball teams have been at work. and from all appearances “Howard will be able to put forth « most re- presentative basoball team this year. Already from the battery candidates the Varsity team is sure ‘of five good pitchers, three left handers and two right handers. For catchers the Var- sity will have two’ men from last year and a number of promising re-| cruits. The infield has a fair nucleus from Inst year to work around and with the acquisition of the new men who are showing promise will round) out strongly. The outfield is causing considerable worry as the outfleld ma-| terial is very poor in their field work. Among the prespectives for the team are some very good hitters and all in all the Varsity team may be ex- pected to be up to the usual standard. One of the interesting things in ‘baseball at Howard this year will be the official Freshman T2sm which wilt have an individual and independ ent schedule. Up to date there have ficon ‘six regularly’ scheduled games, ‘Thematerial for the team is excep- tional. The infield that has been used for practice has proved exceptionally fist and accurate, Norfolk White Sox Line-up The lineup of the Norfolk White is as follows: + J. A.
