Robert T. Kerlin Pleads For Christian Brotherhood Among All People In A Strong Lecture At Bank St. Bapt. Church "Dreams and Dreamers" was the subject of Col. Robt. T. Kerlin's lecture to a large audience of Norfolk citizens at Bank Street Baptist church Wednesday night. With the very opening of his lecture the speaker gripped his audience in the power of his eloquence, and for more than an hour was heard on justice in governments ever presented to a colored audience by any student of history. The complete sincerity of his position for equal opportunity in government without respect to race, is amply evidenced in his eloquence, thorough knowledge of the history, its literature, its religion, its hopes and its aspiration. In the field of literature he showed that he possesses an intimate knowledge of every Negro pen has written prose or verse and a sympathy that gave to that pen its muses; of Negro history he displayed no less knowledge; and with the race's "Dreams and Visions" he showed the profoundest sympathy.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1922 Passport Restrictions Severe To Persons Seeking Permission To Enter The Country. Missionaries Have Difficulty. GREAT POWERS HOLD LID DOWN (BY C. S. BROWN) (This is the fourth article in the series Dr. Brown is writing on his recent observations in Liberia.-Editor.) It might be interesting to your readers to have me give a bit of information respecting the question of passing on to go to Liberia and elsewhere in Africa. I find that a great many people seem to think that the only thing necessary to equip one for the journey is simply getting together sufficient money, but that is a great mistake. Perhaps the getting of the money is the easiest job. At any rate to obtain a passport to travel to Africa means an easy task. In fact, Africa is practically closed against the American Negro, his entrance is regarded a menace by "the powers that be." Even the door is barred against missionaries whose single mission is to give the Gospel of Jesus Christ to perishishing land. Your readers can afford it sufficiently. Max Gernon had in return to go as the representative of the Y. M. C. A. organization. STRICT RULE FOR ADMISSION The rule for the admission of missionaries into Africa is that an application must be made by authorized and recognized representatives living or working in Africa, and it takes about six months to get this application, which the applicant applies to all missionaries, while the other parts of Africa than Liberia. In applying to the United States government for a passport to go to Africa, the applicant is required to go before the clerk of court in his home city or county and make out a passport, which is "connected with or interested in the Garvey Movement," which affidavit must be filed with his application for a passport in the State Department at Washington. When the passport is issued, it is no good until it is visited by the British Consul-General in New York. If you then wish to go into the various sections of Africa under British control, these sections must be definitely mentioned in the passport. This operation is the most difficult. There are certain parts of Africa where they will not allow a black man to enter the country or circumstances. This is true of Papuae West Africa in the vicinity of Labua Bay.

Party Leaders Fear Reaction In Fall Elections On Account Of Failure Of Pledges To Georgia National Committeeman Special to The Journal and Guide, Washington, D. C.-National leaders of the Republican party are worrying over the prospect of losing the congressional elections this fall in districts where that vote counts. The Republican leaders have brought on their own worry by going back upon every sort of pledge made to the voters of the race during the election. If Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Georgia National Committeeman, would go on about his business and forget the shortcomings of the party, the leaders would feel more comfortable, but Johnson is on hand to remind them that a reckoning day is coming. Johnson is a powerful adversary He can stir up trouble for the party if he chooses to do so. Johnson has now joined hands with the who are after the scalp of David H. Heinrich, the former internal Revenue, who hails from North Carolina. It became known a few days ago that Johnson and other prominent Negroes were in league with those who are after Blair. The down RACE MAN Negro Republican was been at outs with Blair because a Negro attorney from Iowa did not get an appointment in the solicitor's office of the internal revenue bureau, have taken up the Summer-Childs incident of the Republican National Chairman John T. Herderood that the appointment of the colored attorney was recommended by Sumner. The anti-Blafr faction asserts that at the time there were 68 Democrats out of 64 employees in the solicitor's office. Henry Lincoln Johnson we vote Chairman Adams, expressing concern for the party over the removal of Childs. "Mr. Childs is worth more to the party in one minute than those who would displace nim will ever be in a lifetime," said the letter. "We sympathize with you, Mr. Chairman, for we know the high regard in which you have the kind lady with organizing Negro voters. Republican congressmen are worried over the attitude of colored voters this fall because of the failure to pass anti-lynch legislation. They do not want to displease them further. MODEST COP TAKEN IN RAID Truxtun's One Man Police Force Taken in Raid on Still at Fair Grounds. Declares His Arrest A Mistake. William Barkum, Trutum police department, was arrested Wednesday night last week by raiding officers from Portsmouth in connection with the taking of a still, four gallons of whiskey and several barrels of mash in a raid in the Trutum Fair grounds. P. J. Jackson, of Dewey street, who the officers claim was engaged in operating the illicit plant when they arrived on the scene was taken into custody. Peter Barkum constituted Trutum's entire police force and had been on the job in the town since construction four years ago. He had endured himself to the citizens, and was highly respected by them as a clean, straightforward police officer. His manner of policing a wholly colored settlement so commended him to the police, and several of the officers of both Craddock and Trutum were to be dropped, his retention on the project was requested. A year or so later the government withdrew its order to thoroughly and the townpeople kept officer Borkum in their employ and paid him out of their own tax fund. The officer is a man of about fifty years old and his pleasant manner, tact in handling cases of minor in- epherd B (50 Voices, Assisted By Chr SPOKE FOR RACE AT DEDICATION OF LINCLON MEMORIAL DR.

The other speakers were President Harding and ex-President Taft. "I speak for the Negro race," said Dr. Moton. "Upon us perhaps more than upon any other group of the nation rests the immediate obligation to notify so dear a price for our enunciation "No one is more sensible than the Negro himself of his incongruous position in the American republic. But be it recorded to his everlasting credit that no failure to reap the full reward of his sacrifices has ever in the least degree qualified his loyalty or cooled his patriotic fervor."

Can he strong protest against electrifying the 00 Negro while those who influenced him to commit the crime escaped with less punishment. Even the prosecuting attorney joined with those asking the governor to commute Rouse's sentence to life imprisonment. After six months resplies and delays the Governor Morrison acted upon the judgement of three alienists that Rouse is not mentally sound, and changed his sentence to life in prison. The governor would not commute the sentence on the grounds that the white man and woman for whom he died had got out with less punishment, saying that was not equal justice, but "equality of injustice."

Despite the inclemency of the weather nearly every member was present, just the Connor on the last day, and while each member was glad to know that he or she had completed the work钛ably many were the regrets that the class was to close. Prof. Connor, who Petersman wrote, taught both by theory and practice, and his strong personality has always inspired his class to greater efforts. In the subject taught, he was himself an authority. Realizing this, he worked on work that maintained its standard but they did so with great pleasure. President Clarke, of Union could not make it convenient to be present because of the many activities of the closing days at the University of Missouri, and wrote a letter which was read to the class by Miss M. Estelle Thompson. After the lessons of the day were over, the members told Prof. Connor of their appreciation of his work with them and as a token of the same gave him a letter was presented by Miss Thompson. Prof. Connor then made a brief speech thinking the class for the remembrance and again complimenting them for the quality of their work and their to-bieness. Riddick told Prof. Connor to suggest a line of work along which the class might work another year. Many subjects were suggested. The class chose, "The Psychology of Retardation and What can be Done to Help Backward Pupil." Prof. Connor goes to Tuskogee with the best wishes of his entire class.

William B. Brandon is a former Portsmouth man, being the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Brandon of this city.

I rejoice with you that it has been possible to organize and carry on this class. I am glad that you have had such a teaching experience and direct your in your studies. I feel that the work has been of real value to you and I believe that you feel this also. "It is my hope to continue work of this nature from year to year so as to make it possible for those who are teaching to continue to study, to improve their condition, also to improve their time and to make the time be able to earn a college degree while teaching. I think this is a thing most emphatically to be desired. If one is roiling to lead young people in thier studies one must continue to study himself, and one cannot continue to study unless being associated with a group pursuing a single subject under a capable leader."

This was the statement of Janus Colby Johnson, the national Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who returned to New York from Washington on Friday, May 26. An unfavorable report on the Dyer Bill by the Judiciary Committee on the Senate on Monday, May 22, was narrowly averted, and the Republican leaders of the Senate were convinced that favorable action was absolutely essential. Not only has an unfavorable report been averted but the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, May 24, met and decided to postpone action for two weeks, during which time effect of the Bill absolutely unassailable when it is brought upon the floor of the Senate. Mr. Johnson presented to the members of the Committee on the Judiciary and leading Republican Senate officials a bill entitled the constitutionality of the Dyer Bill, the purpose of Moorfield Storey and by James A. Cobb, chairman of the legal committee, Washington Branch, N. A. A. C. P. A third brief was sent to the Senate by William H. Lewis, former governor who had been requested by Mr. Johnson to do so. A fourth brief was sent to the Senate by Butler R. Wilson, secretary of the Boston Branch, N. A. A. C. P. The N. A. A. C. P. secretary made clear that Republican leaders that failure to act favorably on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill would have three disastrous results: 1. It would constitute a confession on the part of the Federal Government of inability to deal with the Negro hopeless of that protection against the mob owed him by the government to which he gives his allegiance. 2. It would be interpreted as a license to mob and might be followed by a terror too horrible to be described. 3. It would be a repudiation of the pledge made by the Republican party in its national platform that action would be taken on citizenship, more or less anything else discredit that party among colored voters.

One of them has run on a bar. What has become of the coal strike that was going to tie up everything in the country? Must have spent its force before it arrived. We have with us the "sweet girl graduate," the June bride, the wise young man with a college diploma, and some other things to increase our joys and sorrows for a season. The sub judiciary committee of the senate has decided that the Dyer anti-lynching bill is unconstitutional, leaving nothing for the U. S. supreme court to do. "Our disgust with the Turks," observes the Ashville Citizen, "indicates that we find a difference between black murder of Christians and Christians' murder of blacks." It does seem that recent atrocities in the far South would divert America's attention awhile from atrocities in the near East. Georgia mobs are growing stale. One allowed an intended victim to calmly untie the rope from around his neck while speeding to his execution, and escape; another permitted an intended victim to apply to a court restraining order enjoining the mob from molesting him. They are growing tired of the carriage, or, are they losing their nerve? "Are we united? Two separate Memorial Day celebrations were held here May 30th—one white, one colored. Under the new order the day is supposed to be observed for the men who have died for the pation in all its wars. Blacks and whites died on the same battlefields? They fought and died together for one common country, why should they commemorate the fact in a manner indicating that they have nothing in common? Can the civil leaders of the community really plan and execute a truly American memorial day that does not include all the factors that have combined to make the day memorable? VALUE OF VOTING IN CITY AFFAIRS We quite agree with Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson when he says: "Unless you address yourself to understand your government, its laws and the servants of the law; unless you acquit yourself to become a part of the political equation, unless you do what every other American citizen does, you are working for your own effacement." "We should begin our work in citizenship by acquiring a thorough knowledge of municipal government, and by qualifying to vote by registering and paying the poll tax, and by voting when we get to it for the best men and measures proposed in any given election. If we should do this we would get a great deal more benefits out of city government than we do, and be better prepared to take a more intelligent and active part in the politics of the State and Nation. Too many of us are indifferent to our duty as citizens. A HAVEN IN AFRICA The race is indebted to Dr. C. S. Brown for the inside view of Liberia and its people which he is giving us in the series or articles published in THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE. We all want to know just what he is telling us about the Black Republic on the West Coast of Africa, colonized by American Negroes quite a hundred years ago, and intended by its distinguished promoters to be a haven for the "free people of color in the United States" who might desire to return to the Fatherland. It does not appear to be necessary to us now, and has not so appeared to those of us of the past, but none of us in the present is in a position to say that it may not become such in the future. Liberia is the only country in Africa, with the exception of Abyssinla, that is not sphered, off and dominated by Europeans; and Liberia would have been annexed long ago by some one of the European Nations if it had not been for the protecting arm of the United States. Matters are that way with Liberia right now. The people and the country are very backward in everything that we consider civilized and progressive, as Dr. Brown is showing us, but that does not say that they may not be capable of being more forward and progressive. If we can help them to be so it will be a good work and may return to us as bread cast upon the waters. We can help them all the more by knowing the truth about them. We can do much for Liberia by liberally sustaining the missionary and educational work of our churches, which are doing splendid work in Africa, including Liberia. COL. KERLIN WILL DIGHT. IT OUTSIN THE SOUTH. Colonel Robert T. Kerlin, of Lexington, who was dismissed from the Virginia Military Institute because of a letter he wrote to the Governor of Arkansas concerning the treatment of the alleged Elaine rioters, and because of his general attitude of sympathetic interest in Afro-Americans, their hopes and aspirations, and who lectured in Norfolk Wednesday night, announces that he will remain in the South and "do his utmost to rally the justice loving and human-minded people of both races for the great battle of justice and equity." "I have dedicated my life to this," he says. We think he has determined wisely. We are sure he will continue to be a great power for good and that he will find plenty of appreciation and support from both races in the South. TEDDY ROOSEVELT TO THE FRONT The signs everywhere indicate that the elevation of President Warren G. Harding from the Senatorship marked the end of the oldtime Republicanism which has been backsliding from the principles upon which the party came into existence, which were, primarily, the preservation of the Union of the States and the exaltation of human rights above property rights. By a graduated process of elimination and substitution, the Republican party has degenerated into a party of moneycrats, dominated by corporate and financial interests, with human rights go hang. Discontent with the policies of the Harding Administration is showing itself in all directions, and hard boiled machine candidates for office are having the time of their lives in finding out just where they stand with the voters of the party. In Indiana Senator Harry S. New was snowed under in the primary by former Senator Alfred J. Beveridge, and in Pennsylvania the machine was smashed all to splinters by Mr. Glifford Pinchot, who ran away with the Republican nomination for Governor in the primary. He is also a Roosevelt Progressive. Now, in New York, the Progressives threaten to place Col. Theodore Rosevelt in nomination for the Senatorial position now held by Senator William M. Calder, a machine Republican who has offended in many ways, following the unfortunate policies of the Harding Administration, especially in appointment of Afro-Americans to Federal position, Col. Rosevelt, who is the namesake of his father, the only "Teddy," is now Assistant Secretary of Navy, and is "laying low." He has adopted politics as a career, and it is the business of Afro-Americans to stand by him and push him up, because he is four-square American as his father was. If he succeeds Senator Calder, Colonel Roosevelt will have the party in New York, Pennsylvania and Indiana behind him for President three years from now. The Republican party is bound to undergo a thorough re-organization, or die, and Pinchot, Beveridge and Roosevelt are the proper men to undertake the re-organization. The voters of the party are showing that they are eager for the re-organization, and the Afro-American who is not does not know on which side his bread is buttered. Smash the Old Republican machine! Reorganize the Republican party back to its original principles of the Nation for all of the people and human rights above property rights! THE CALL OF THE OPEN By Lee Foules Rodgers The half-god Pan is calling, calling softly over the lea, Wild his music, full of longing, steeped in soulful ecstacy; Zephyras waft his call to the open across the fields to me and you. Come, he calls us, 'scape the city, lny aside the taxing world, Come be guest of hymn and elfin, sport in freedom's merry whirl; Sweatmeats await thee, and nectar cool such as 'Lympus once did boast, Bathe thy feet in whispering waters, dry them on fresh beds of moss. Sport thee down the forest aisles, waft away thy every care, Learn the language of the flowers, come and breathe the magic air; Dream away the scented hours, dwell in pleasures free. Thus the half-god. Pan is calling, calling softly over the lea. POPULAR COMPOSER DEAD Oakland, Calif.—Harry H. Williams, widely known as a composer and motion picture director, is dead at the home of his mother here after a brief illness. Williams was credited with composing "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree," "Mickey," "Peggy," "I'm Afraid to Go Home in the Dark," and other popular songs. So desirous are some folks to spend, that an opportunity looks bigger coming than going. It is getting so lately that the bandits spend their vacation watching you vacate your home. Familiarity may breed contempt, but if you're not familiar with your own business, ask your neighbor. "Three Musketeers," not work of Dumas, critics declare. The average theatre-goer will tell you it's the work of "Doug." Fairbanks. The trouble with this "own your home" movement, is the home you would own doesn't suit your pocket-book and the home you could own doesn't suit your taste. Another way to acertain how little faith there is in this world is the pleasure our folks get out of talking about the other. A BEAUTIFUE THOT Whatever you want, no matter how large or how small, You've got to determine to have it; (The thot I suggest comes from a baby's squall When it wants what it wants and gets it.) You've got to believe that it's bound to come. Won't help you a bit to get it. The New Jersey commissioner who intimates that there does not seem to be any genuine public sentiment for a Dempsey-Wills fight proves that he doesn't know the genuine sentiment of the public. Life seems to be a game of learn and earn, and you never learn more of it until you earn what it costs to learn. As usual, early fall predictions are forthcoming already, this however, has no connection with prices. They are already at the foot of the incline. Scissored A MIRACLE IN GEORGIA A miracle happened in Georgia a day of two ago. A Negro/prisoner with a rope around his neck was in the hands of a mob which had broken into the jail and taken him from the sheriff and was on its way to the place where it proposed to lynch him. He succeeded in untying the rope, broke away and escaped for the time. Then something close kin to a miracle happened. He was captured by a pose that instead of lynching him turned him over to the sheriff who rushed him to the jail in Macon where he could be kept in safety till the time set for his execution. He was delighted to get in a good strong jail despite the fact that unless the governor intervenes he will be hanged in three weeks. This man was convicted of the crime that implies lynching in the South but the court acted promptly in giving him a trial and in sentencing him to hang. It looks like the mob could have waited three weeks instead of violating the law. Since he made his escape there are men in the county where he was tried who acknowledge the miraculous nature of his escape but who do not believe it "happened." They think he was assisted by a higher power and must not be guilty as charged and they are new seeking to have the governor commute his sentence to life imprisonment—a punishment that may be ended at any time if found to have been unjustly inflicted.

Jeremiah commands Baruch to read the Roll (Book to the People—Vs. 1-8. 2. Jeremiah is a wonderful how often, in God's providence, the very event that has seemed to close a career has opened out paths that have made it infinitely more useful." Paul was imprisoned, and the result was that the world has his letters to Coventry ans, Ephesians, Philipians, and Philemon. Martin Luther was "shut up" by his friends in the castle of Wartburg to save his life, and there he wrote his translation of Testament which made the book accessible to every Ger- o'essians, Ephesians, Philippians, and to Phillemon. Martin Luther was "shut up" by his friends in the caste of Wesley, who live, and there he wrote his translation of the New Testament which made the book accessible to every German. The German was put in Bedford jail and to that imprisonment we owe the Pilgrim's Progress. The word came from Jehovah to Jeremiah; the prophet dedicated the message to Baruch, his scribe who wrote upon a roll all the words of Jehovah. And at the command of Jeremiah Baruch went and read the roll the words of Jehovah in the case of the people in his house. Not only did the prophet find the most audience at the temple, but he would also find there the place most suitable for an appeal to the consciences of the people. "The entrance of thy words giveth light" (Psa. 119:130). It is not the entrance of these words into our lives that gives us light, but the them that giveth light. The figure is not that of a candle borne into a darkened room, which scatters the darkness for those who are within. It is rather the figure of a darkened room where we are standing in the darkened room who now rise up and make their way out where the sun is shining. Entering into its rays, they find light."—Prof. Celand M. McAfee, D.D. "Jehoiskim Burns the Word of God, v. 8:25. "When the Bible was first printed in England, the Romish bishops and priests played Jehoiakim's game. They brought up every copy of the Bible, and baffled of them. The printers used the money to provide ten presses where there had been one, and the Bibles in the land increased fifty-fold until the priests found that the bonfire grew ever away God's word or burn it, or trample it under your feet, but still you have to reckon with God, and the Word remains and it gets fulfilled whether you like it or not."—Rev. J. G. Greenham, *Baruch*, the son of Nevin read the roll to the princes too. The princes were assembled in the scribe's chamber. The solemn words of warning read by Baruch filled the princes' hearts, and they decided to inform the king. When the king heard three or four leaves of the book read, he was angry; cut the roll with the pen-knife and cast it into the fire. Contrast the fierce battle of the Bible with the law had upon Josiah. "Josiah on that occasion in sorrowful dismay rent his garments; but his son now rent the Roll itself. And thus passed away his last chance, his last offer of mercy; and as he fell in love with the woman of the Roll on the fire he threw in symbol his royal house, his doomed city, the temple, and all the people of the land." (Cambridge Bible). There are four classes of anemies of the Bible: 1. Teachers and writers who cut the Bible; 2. Teachers and writers who light it lightly, and jests upon its phrases and character. 3 Those who pretend to honor it but seldom go near it. 4. Those who know much about the Bible but do not obey its precepts in their lives. Reader, in which class are. 5. The Bible the Indestructible Book, Vs. 26, 32. It would take more pen-knives than cutter ever sharpened to hew into permanent destruction the Word of God as oshoota the word of God will feel like bullet rebound into his own torn and lacerated bosom. *" If infidelity is as successful in the next fifty years, in its war against the Bible, as it has been in the past fifty, the year of 1950 will see the Bible in the possession of every man and hand to hold it."—T. Dewitt Talmage. The Word of Jehovah came into Jeremiah again, and Baruch wrote a second time the Words of Jehovah from the mouth of the prophet. The Word of Jehovah came is recorded the doom of Jehovahikim and is possible to destroy the Bible; "you can neither bury, drown, nor burn the truth." The Bible is too thoroughly imbedded in history and literature, too deeply graven on human hearts ever since the birth of the earth, the flower faded; but the Word of God shall stand forever." The Bible has been assailed and attacked more than any other book in the world. After two thousand years, the Book is now a piece of criticism, the old Book like a messenger, come out of the fire whiter. A life lived consistently with the teachings of the Bible is a most effective weapon on an unanswerable argument against skeptics and infidels. caused the servant to be stricken with the disease for lying and deception. And he went out from his presence as white as snow. No oratory was needed or reserved for men; it was wohl filled. In the greatest of diction, facts after facts were driven home to the men that the warges of sin is death. One half of the main auditorium was reserved for men and it was wohl filled. Due to long and repeated requests the pastor will preach his famous sermon on "The Eagle-Stirr his nest" Sunday morning. This is the fifth time he has preached this sermon, and he is powerful that his congregation has demanded that it be delivered again. Norfolk Women Are riding the jitneys; are paying their poll taxes; are learning the difference between bargains and cheap merchandise; are reading colored papers; patronizing Negro businesses; wearing good clothes; filling the churches; but they are not leading their children by the hand. The Jewish people are the only ones that have solved the problem of combining home and labor. Jewish women are the only ones for any appreciable length of time. This is true of the poorer as well as the richer women. HOMELY HINTS Do you leave your young chickens out when you go to night church? Where is Sally? The home is made for the family and not the family for the home. Do not be so exacting that the occupants feel ill at ease while there. The woman who undermines her health by too much service to her family is robbing them of the best inheritance they have—a mother. The Bible is romance from cover to cover, give it the chief place in your home and your cares will be less, your joys more. If you wish drama, read about Job; love, read about Ezekiel; friendship, read about Kueh, husts of the flesh; read about David and Solomon; trumph, read about Moses; patjos, the Baptist, and if you wish a perfect life to imitate use Mary. Questions and Answers Do not worry, the teeth are coming. Some children teeth early, others late. Mine have two teeth at six months, while my cousin's baby cut his first tooth at twelve months. I have about ten feet across the back of my yard. What will be the most profitable thing to plant? A HELPER. Plant eight rows of stringless green pod beans, the six week kind and around the fence plant a few limbs. The stringless beans will be ready for table in seven weeks and you can have hanover in between the rows. Is it injurious to a woman to run an auto? —FLAPPER. I have never run one, so I do not know, but women have done harder things. Please tell me what makes a leap year? The earth requires 365 and one-fourth days to travel around the sun, and in four years these one-fourth days make a complete day; thus we have leap year, when you may propose to the boys. Which is harder to rent, boys or girls? —YOUNG MOTHER. Both. Dear Mrs. Dixon: I am inexperienced and know nothing about canning or preserving. Will you tell me how?

Yeargin) Through the centuries handed down from daughter to daughter, it gradually became one of the characteristic traits peculiar to the feminine life. Born of necessity, it became a natural tendency. Within the ages, it became a vital part of woman's own self. A woman could have herself wrapped in a special gift, and down through the ages this act of beautifying one's self has become so popular, that today it is one of the sciences, having definite laws based upon scientific knowledge. So today, the Beauty Artist among the various business enterprises. This art of beauty culture is an indispensable asset in the eye of the colored woman. It does not apply to any one phase of beautifying, but, rather to the entire body. It does not mean that she must necessarily attempt to change her complexion or to straighten her hair, but that she must realize in its generic sense the meaning of the word culture. She should then apply it to herself and remember that often by personal effort she can achieve the refinement and respect that attracts others by virtue of her cleanliness.

So she placed the box out of sight on a shelf and taking a small bag of cheap candy from the dresser that she had placed there before her uncle came in, she divided between the five little tots on the north, the five "know," thought Jenny, "but just so that they all its bright." And the child turned to her unfinished tasks and quite forgot the incident. She did not think of the candy again until she had finished her last lesson and getting ready for bed. The other children sat next to her now she would untie the lovely box and take a nibble of the wonderful candy. There was a scurrying of little feet when she took the box from the shelf and in her sorrow she found mice had cut in the box, and had eaten and run over the candy to suit themselves. Jenny was furious for a few minutes, and she had to have such a pig and they trusted and loved me go, dear little mice you have taught me a lesson. I will never be selfish again."

NEGRO VOTE TO PROGRESSIVES Leaders Claim Credit For The Victories Of Both Pinchot And Beveridge. Washington—It became known here today that the Negro voters in Pennsylvania and Indiana played a very important part in the recent primaries, and that their influence and votes were used largely for Pinchot and Beveridge and against Alter and Neal. The World was informed by the local leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that other leading Administration Congressmen are slated for slaughter by Negro voters because of their opposition to or indifference toward the Anti-Lynching and other uplift legislation pending in Congress. "We told our leaders in Pennsylvania to go to the bat good and strong for Mr. Pinchot," said Shelby Davidson, representative of the Association. "We sent him a query asking him how he stood, as we did Attorney General Alter, and he answered promptly with a promise of support, and his opponent never replied." Davidson said Republicans who voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill that passed the House and is now tied up in the Senate will be fought to the last minute on Election Day. He pointed out that Representative Kelly, of Michigan, would be defeated in his fight against Senator Townsend for the Senate because he voted against the Dyer Bill in the House. "We are marking men in this campaign," said Davidson, "and they will be measured by our own yardsticks. If they are not for us they are against us." The Negro support, Representative Dyer said today, was responsible to a marked degree for the nomination of Pinchot and the defeat of New. He predicted Negroes would be heard from again before the campaign is over in most of the states where there is a Senatorial campaign.

Andrew Hospital bring to Tuskegee well over one thousand patients, many of whom undergo important surgical operations. The post-graduate course for Negro physicians and surgeons is one of Tuskegee's most important National contributions. On the Tuskegee grounds a small building, costing with equipment about $1,500, has been erected to serve as a health center. Since the fall of 1921 this center has been open at certain hours, under competent supervision of doctors and nurses to give people physical examinations and advice. To this oasis needy people have already come for emergency relief, for advice on the care and feeding of children, and for information concerning pre-natal conditions. School children have also visited the health center and received needed physical examinations and advice. In February the health center put a public-health course into local rural service. The post-graduate course in nurse training, given at the John A. Andrew Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, in April, under the direction of Dr. Jno. A. Kenney, a graduate of Hampton Institute and Shaw University, who is the hospital's medical director, included, besides work in surgical technique and hospital management, the fundamentals of public-health nursing with special reference to pre-natal work, tuberculosis, veneral-disease and public-school nursing—Southern Workman.

GETS HIS COURT DATES MIXED Man Arrested On Bootleggings Charge. Has Engagement. In Two Different Courts The Same Day. P. J. Jackson, erstwhile manager of the Truxtun Fair Association got his court engagements very much mixed up last week. Middle school student Jackson had an engagement with police Justice Cuthrell to appear before him on a charge of. illicit distilling and on the same day Jackson also had an annotated court with Judge John in the Hustings Court as answer to a charge of bootlegging contracted a few months ago. Before Judge Bain it was alleged that Jackson manufactured whiskey in the store and a product having been taken at the time of his arrest. Before the police justice it is alleged that he had gone into business on a larger scale while out on bail and had a complete plant to operate. The plant which was captured with four gallons of corn and several barrels of mash Wednesday night of last week by raiding officers. He was stated that Jackson was in attendance at the plant when they arrived on the scene. The police Justice would not detain Jackson for questioning Monday morning as he respected the engagement the man had in the hustings court for that day and postponed the hearing for a later date. When the conference judge agreed, was over, he awarded ninety days free board and lodging with the city and assessed fifty dollars toward paying the bill. High School Of Hertford Finals Hertford, N.

Dreams, "light that have led the lad to declare Col Kerkhoff is my a dreamer, my dream is one of 'Simple Justice'," "I dream of a Republic where in every man's home will be secure; I dream of a Republic where every woman may feel that the confines of her home are sacred precepts; I dream of a Re-Republic where every woman can benefit the benefit of the guarantees vouchsafted in the Declaration of Independence and in Magna Charta" declared the speaker. The Negro race survived slavery, said Col. Kerkhoff because of its vision. To slavery the race never submitted freedom until freedom came. The meeting was opened by the singing of two verses of America led by Mrs. J. D. Jackson at the piano; Prof. Dungee gave the invocation after which Mrs. Jackson led congregational singing of the hymn "Everytime I feel the Spirit Moving my heart will Peel" by Mrs. S. Noble and Miss Lawrence and dramatic reading by Miss Eliza Coppage were delightfully rendered after which in an appropriate manner Rev.

This unheard of accomplishment has been brought about during the past sixty years. Coupled with the millions of homes and thousands of churches we have built, with little to begin with, it is a record to give us heart of hope that the future may have greater successes in the same direction to make life worth while to live. Clothing for Everybody on CREDIT AMERICANS NOT WANTED IN AFRICA (Continued from Page One) "Intelligentia" of Africa took Mr. Wilson seriously when he preached "world democracy," and allowing the weaker people the "right of self-determination." "The tide of color" is running strong throughout all Africa, and the white government feel that they must hold down the lid with a strong hand to prevent a general up-rising. Among government officials there was general commendation of the address by the governor of Burry, N. C., who went over with the Thomas Jesse Jones commission to study African conditions, but among many of the "Intelligentia" or the learned group of Negroes, he is persona non grata. Thus the feeling is high, and creates a situation somewhat embarrassing to mission work. Reverting to the question of passports, many doubted seriously that we would be able to obtain permission to travel in any and all parts of Africa. The United States made in 1905 with officials from South Africa, we secured full permission to enter and travel through Africa. Our passport indicates the following: "Liberia, British South Africa, Zululun and yassaland, and a special passport from Britain." Control Office of New York makes also this privilege secure. When enroute through London, we secured enlarged privileges and letters of commendation, so there could be no opportunity for friction or trouble. We can be seen that obtaining a passport is by no means an easy thing. HOPE TO MODIFY RESTRICTIONS There is however, a strong movement among African Christians to port restrictions modified. It should be made less difficult to send missionaries into heathen Africa. At it now stands, American Negro Christians in the United States, the great mass of heathens found in all parts of Africa except as they work in and through Liberia. Bishop Brooks of the A. M. E.
