NORFOLK BOY, HOWARD STUDENT,SETS RECORD Passes Va. Bar Examination In Middle Of Senior-Year At Law School. Washington, D. C., Dec—During the recent Virginia Bar Examinations held on December 12th and 18th at Richmond, Va., David Henry Edwards, a professor of Howard University School of Law, set a mark for other students by passing the Virginia State Bar Examinations in the middle of his senior year. In accomplishing such a feat, he has no doubt, made a record that would have been impossible before. According to those in authority at Howard University, that "no person while attending the School of Law has ever before passed the Virginia State Bar Examinations until they had completed the prescribed course of law, cannot be given, him, and the school. Mr. Edwards, whose home is in Norfolk, Va., is a graduate of the Booker T. Washington High School of that city, entered the Howard University School of Law during the fall of 1920, and from the very beginning documented the law that the entire student body the law school is president of the Senior Class; member of the Council of Class Presidents of Howard University; member and trustee of the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity; and his scholarship for the last two years has been above the average for Cum Laude.

HOWARD REFUTES CHARGES OF N. A. A. C. P. Admits His Disdain For Leaders Of The Organization, But Denies That He Influenced Adversely The Dyer Bill. BRANDS ASSOCIATION A DEMOCRATIC ALLY (NORRIS BROWN) (Washington Correspondent) Washington, D. C.—Replying to the charge by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that he contributed to the defeat of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, emphatically denies the charge and brands it as a falsehood, and then makes the counter-charge that Mr. Johnson and others "used the people's money lavishly uner the assurance that this bill would pass, and, upon its failure, he seeks a treat." CONTROVERSY OVER LETTER This controversy grew out of a letter written by Mr. Howard to former Senator T. Coleman du Pont, of Delaware, in whose defeat by Thomas F. Bayard, the late election, the National Association for Colored People and the National Association of Colored People took an important part, even importing to Wilmington Ferdinand Q. Morton, Negro Democratic leader of New York City, to speak. The letter M. Howard asserted that "the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is purely a Negro Democratic organization and has always been found on the side of the Democrats in the final analysis." But the particular part, which James Weldon Johnson would have written, is as follows: "Now, may I call attention to the fact that whatever legislation Aged Colored Man Sentenced To Two Years Beats Case On Own Pleadings. Greensboro, N. C.—One of the most unusual incidents within the memory of lawyers, judges and court attaches of this city occurred here last week when Foster Benton, n. Neighbor of the court, and jury in the Superior Court and acted as his own lawyer, on an appeal from a two year sentence on the roads imposed by a lower court for theft of a bag of chickens, and won an accrual after numerous witnesses given damaging testimony against him. Benton and two other men, Sam Barnes and Jap Hayes, were given sentences of two years and eighteen months, respectively in municipal court some time ago for stealing an incestuous bag. Benton an incestuous and men an incapable while other two men accepted their sentences without protest. DEFENDED HIMSELF Last week his case was called in Superior Court, but the defendant was poor and unable to retain counsel for his defense. He went into court and staked his chances on his opponent to convince the jury of his innocence. He fought the conviction. He cross examined every witness that testified against him and did it with ability. Benton was given a bad reputation by the police and admitted that he had twice served time on the road for fighting. After the evidence was all in he did not adhere to the sentence. The judge delivered his charge to the twelve men and a short white later they returned with a verdict of "not guilty." And this Foster Benton, a colored man who had been handed a sentence of two years in the Municipal Court had won freedom in the Superior Court with himself the defendant and the counsel for the defense. It was a great moment for Benton when jury announced his verdict. The climate man term was reached when Judge Harding addressed the Negro who had been declared innocent: "Stand up, don't go yet," said the judge. "I want to talk to you. You ought to be a great deal better now, for you have been acquitted of this crime. You are not guilty. You are victed. I don't know whether you realize it or not, but this is a most remarkable occurrence. Here you are, a Negro, a poor man unable to have a lawyer to represent you in this case. You are not liable alone, and over here are 12 white men who have ended to what you have had to say and they have acquitted you. Hereafter, if you over hear of any man saying that the courts of this state don't give a Negro a trial trial you just turn around and go to jail. During the progress of the trial Judge W. F. Harding had to tap on or whatever else is done for the, colored people of this country ought certainly be done and done promptly, but I insist that none of it ought to be done through or by reason of the National Association of Colored People or the Advancement of Colored People or of its sympathizers." OBJECTS TO SELF-EXPLOTATION In his reply, made public today, Mr. Howard goes minutely into the activities of Mr. Johnson in behalf of the anti-lynching bill and expresses the opinion that the bill "would have fared far better if there had been less violence, less bunglesome tactics." He also tells us the importance and of co-operation with others on the part of Mr. Johnson and states that their efforts "were resented by him because it was interfering with his one aim, and that is to ex-port the importance and keep in the limelight." He explains that he has "no word of censure for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People per se," but "I do object to these autocrats exploiting themselves at the expense of association and seeking to belittle those who do not pay homage to them." No APOLOGY TO MAKE "I have no apology to make," he says, "for standing by the men of my party who have always stood for those things which will benefit our group. What I have done and am trying to do has been at a sacrifice, but I challenge any leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Women, anything that he has done without reward or hope of reward in fabulous salaries." After criticizing the public bureau of the association for spending $6,000 in advertising with The New York Times, the Evening Star, Washington, D. C.; the Atlanta Constitution and several other big white dailies, whatever with the colored weekdays, which have liberally supported all efforts for the passage of an anti-lynching bill and carried the news releases of the association without charge, Mr. Howard concludes by averring that the only difference between Jim Johnson and himself on the passage of an anti-lynching bill was that he and Dubols being the most highly paid charity workers whom he knows—while he was growing poorer in trying to help in its passage. his desk for order as considerable laughter was provoked in the manner in which Benton was cross-examining his witnesses. "If there's a God in heaven he'll knock you down from that seat," stated Benton when Sam Barnes, a Negro, sentenced to 18 years for roadways was testifying against him. Pointing his finger at the witness on the stand, Benton would say, "Answer my question." And when B. J. Jeffreys, policeman, was on the stand, Benton counted the chickens and scored in many of them. Barnes and Hayes both took the stand in Superior Court yesterday afternoon and testified that they saw Benton with a bag of chickens. Hayes even testified that he opened the bag counted the chickens and that he saw Benton try to displace of the birds. But Benton took the stand and testified, that he was innocent and that the two had "framed up" on him. Upon cross-examination he stood up well, and told the solicitor that he was on the roads for fighting. He said that was about 15 years ago.

Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle and G. E. R. Elks, was in the city a few days this week on business in connection with his fraternal position. Wilson been visiting all of the cities of Tidewater recently and addressing local Elks in interest of the lodge. He was a welcome visitor at the Journal and Guide office, where he breezed in in his same old familiar "fellowship." Editor Wilson was around the office only a few minutes, but in that time was able to give the entire force a hearty hand shake and engage in a "rapid fire" interview on a score of interesting subjects. Following a modest when speaking of himself, for the I. B. P. O. E. of W., he was unable to see any but big things. The alfalfa acreage of Michigan increased over 200,000 acres this year following the alfalfa harvest the past winter by agricultural extension workers in that State, according to reports to the United States Department of Agriculture. RACE QUESTION IN DEBATE OUSTING REP. HARRISON RACE QUESTION IN DEBATE OUSTING REP. HARRISON Massachusetts Representative Assails Virginia Constitution As A: Disfranchising Instrument Of Party Control. "G. O. P., LILY WHITE," VIRGINIAN RETORTS Washington, D. C., Dec.—By a vote of 201 to 99, the House of Representatives on Friday last decided that Judge Thomas W. Harrison, Democrat, was not elected a member of the congressional district of Virginia, captain John Paul, Republican, was the duly elected representative and is entitled to a seat in this Congress. DISRACHISEMENT DISCUSSED Representative Dallinger, Republican, of Massachusetts, the chairman of the committee to which the case was referred, was in charge of the resolution. He began the debate by an analysis of the Virginia Constitution of 1825, which he asserted, was not constituted by Virginia. He showed that by the adoption of this constitution the election machinery of the state was put absolutely and for all time to come in the control of the Democratic party. In the course of his remarks, he referred to disfranchisement, declaring that the constitution of Virginia, which accords to him, Glass, was designed to disfranchise four-fifths of the colored voters of the State, and which, as a matter of fact, has also disfranchised a large part of the white population. It is interesting to note that in 1920 there was a total vote cast for 10 Congressmen, 207, while in the State of Minnesota, also having 10 Congressmen; there was a total vote of 747,070." VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS LYL WHITE In reply to the remarks of Mr. Dallinger concerning the Virginia constitution and the disfranchisement of Negroes, Judge Harrison remarked that this constitution has been approved by the United States Supreme Court." "The gentleman from Massachusetts, he continued, "cannot say they are sorry for the poor colored brother because they claim to be lily white; nothing so white as they are. They deny themselves the party after they had got their. They denied them representation in political conventions. They pride themselves on the fact of being extravagant lily-white people. So the gentleman from Massachusetts may save his sympathy on the ground that the Virgin has in some way prejudiced the rights of the Negro." HOME CONFERENCE HELD AT NASHVILLE Dr. S. S. Morris Takes Issue With North Carolinian And Defends Race Press. Nashville, Tenn.-The. Southern Co-operative League for Education and Social Work hold an important gathering in this city, December 3rd to 6th. A meeting was designated a "Home Betterment Congress" with the slogan, "Let't the South's glory be her homes." The addresses delivered by Dr. Jas. I. Vance, of Nashville; Hon. Percy Shnype, Dr. Bruce R. Payne, president of the college, and Dr. Philander P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, were all noteworthy utterances and stressed the vital importance, the absolute need of better homes in the South for all the people who inhabit this section of the country. Dr. Dyer, of Vanderbilt University, speaking on the subject of "Divorce as a Home Destroyer," said that the home was on the verge of bankruptcy and the situation challenged the best thought and efforts of strong men to give rise to give up and assure once more the solvency of the home, sweet home. NEGRO HOME LIFE The home life of the Negro was discussed by Rev. Dr. W. C. Overton, of Bothel A. M. E. Zion Church, Nashville and Rev. S. S. Morris, of Nashville, and Prof. C. H. Trowbridge, of Brevard, N. C., who said that he understood the Negro press to be "red and radical" Other members of the convention agreed that the Negro had every reason to be "red and radical" because of the treatment, but his loyalty and alliance could not in the least be deplied. CHURCH AND HOME Recreation in the home and what the church may do to elevate the principles of truth, virtue and righteousness once inculcated around the fireplace. HIS NAME TOO MUCH FOR JUDGE Greensboro, N. C.—When Justice James Hayes, colored was called to the bar in Superior Court this week to an check for charges of forging a check he made to inform the court he paused to inform the court that his name was on the docket wrong. "Well, what is it," asked the bar, then proceeded to make an apology "Stop and say that again so I may get it right," interrupted Judge Harding. Hayes then began, "My justice James Wilkins Joseph Thomas Hastings. The man was found guilty but sentence was deferred to give him an opportunity to refund the $10. HUNG JURY IN TRIAL OF CAR CONDUCTOR After Deliberating For About One Hour, Foreman Reports Inability To Agree. As a result of a hung jury, a mistrial was declared in the case of William Thomas (white) heard in Corporation Court, part 2, Monday, in connection with the killing of Frank Walker, colored, on October 18th, last. The trial consumed the entire day, and the acquittal for more than an hour and a half resulted in Judge Shackleford that they were unable to reach a verdict the judge ordered a mistrial. Thomas will probably be tried again at the next term of court. It is alleged that William Thomas, formerly a V. R. P. Company street car connected to a Lambert's Point bridge and killed him behind after the man had left his car following an altercation between the two men. Witnesses for the commonwealth testified that the conduct attempted to eject Walker from the car following an argument between him and his passenger and in doing so lost his car. Then, according to these witnesses, drew his revolver and fired one shot into Walker, who left the car and started to run. As he started to run, Thomas fired two more shots, both of which entered the colored man's body from behind. He joyed Williams, city coroner, testified that it was one of the bullets fired from behind that caused Walker's death. Thomus in testifying for himself, said that the colored man boarded the car with a large bundle which he placed in the way of passengers and when he ordered him to remove the bundle or leave the car an alteration made to the car, the advanced towards him threateningly with the knife. He denied that he fired any of the shots from behind and stated that he fired all of them in quick succession as the man advanced towards him. It is alleged that a small knife was found under the body of the dead man when picked up. The knife was discovered by the companions of the dead man state that he hld ridden on the Lambert's Point cars daily for more than two years enroute to and from work and they had never known him to precipitate an argument with street carmen. Walker also bore a reputation for peacefulness in his neighborhood. The prosecution was conducted by assis- tion of commonwealth's attorney Jonathan W. Old and Judge A. Johnston Ackiss. Attorney W. H. Venable, lawyer for the V. R. P. Company, appeared for the defense. Emancipation Ass'n Calls Meeting The officers and members of the Norfolk Emancipation Association are requested to meet at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, Tuesday evening, December 26th, to complete the initial arrangements for the celebration. All persons having money for the association will please report the same. By order of, G.

A Year's Subscription To The Norfolk Journal and Guide is an ideal gift and would be more than appreciated. We Will Send Your Card Neatly Engraved With It. Price-$2.00 Per Year. Dr. S. S. Morris, executive secretary Allen Christian Endeavor League, who has just returned to the University of the Southern states where he took him through North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee Mississippi and Arkansas, in interest of the League, made personal observations him that a general exodus of Negroes from the Southland is in progress. "These colored people are leave the South for the North, East or West," declared Dr. Morris. "every train from the Southland; large movers were counted. A nearly every man and woman evidences all about showed that it was 'moving days.' They are selling out, leasing and storing, but they are going. As fast as the colored people leave the cities, those on the farms and in the back-woods migrate to the towns and fill their places, but they to the wing they rise and fly away to parts unknown. CAUSE FOR MOVING "Riding among these people listening to their conversations, it becomes easy to understand the cause for this great exodus," states Dr. Morris. The Negroes want better pay for the labor they are tired of the white landlord that they are and after many months of hard work in the fields, saying to them, 'I allow you so much, but I deduct'——Many of the poor people say, 'de duck (deduct) done eat up all my made.' After allowances are made for the food and clothing they have taken up in the store, nothing is left and they are demanding for DEMAND BETTER TREATMENT "The people want more human treatment; they want an assurance of personal safety; they want better schools and facilities for their children; they want freedom of liberty such as other freemen enjoy; they are under the urge of a rising race business which has confidence in self and in God's justice and triumph of right," declares Dr. Morris. "Many, of course, will not move, the masses will probably remain, and it is gratifying to note that almost everywhere a movement is on foot for better schools and improved conditions, because those who remain, the thoughtful, are going down their buckets' where they are, acquiring property, establishing business, building homes and filling the schools. Dr. Morris attended many of the annual conferences of his Church and states, despite short crops, boll weevil, soil erosion, and toward conditions, reports from nearly every individual pastoral charge were in excess of last year. BAKER ACQUITTED ON FALSE ENTRY CHARGES Edward A. Baker, who was secretary-treasurer of Tidewater Bank and Trust Company at the time the business of that bank was acquired by Appolitan Bank. and Trust Company. Judge Judge Shackleford presided court 2, Judge Judge Shackleford presided Wednesday and Thursday of the week, and was acquitted of five separate counts of making false entries or the books of the bank, of which he was charged in an indictment brought against him by the October grand jury. Trial of the case consumed two days and was one of the hardest fought legal battles witnessed in the local courts in many years. Mr. Baker was represented by Attorneys W. H. Venable, senior member of the firm of Venable, Miller, Pilcher and Parsons of Norfolk; Harry M. Smith Jr., of Richmond and Giles B. Jack of Raleigh; and Taylor Taylor was associated with assistant monwealth's attorney J. W.

C. - Football will eventually come into its own among the young colored men of this locality. Three stars of the game have recently made their presence here in Williston Industrial School.

Boomer, State Normal School, known as "Stonewall Center." Prof. Collin of Shaw University and Prof. W. A. Thomas, of Howard University. Philadelphia, Dec.-The Friends have always stood fearlessly and faithfully by men, women, and children who were disadvantaged but who were making a brave struggle to find a way out of their troubles. This spirit prevails as was shown in the recent conference which was held, in Pace House, Fifteenth and Rac Streets, under the aupices of the Colored Race and of the Philadelphia Interracial Committee. Dr. Elbert Russell, director of the Woolman School, Swartinore, Pa. presented a resolution calligraphy for an open interracial conference to discuss promoting interracial cooperation. This resolution was unanimously adopted. A well-known Philadelphia Friend, J. Henry Scattergood, presided at this conference, which was called to consider "The Importance of Teaching Modern Sociology Squarely," The Preparation of Up-to-date Text-books for Civic Classes"; "How to Teach Children's Understanding and Cooperation"; "The Need in Civics Teachers"; and The Problem of Segregation." Anne Biddle Stirling, chairman of the Philadelphia Inter-racial Committee, referred to the fear and prejudice in the minds of race relations. Mrs. Stirling stated that altogether too many white children are given the idea that the Negro is dirty, ignorant, and lazy. She pointed out clearly the need of teaching white children—and colored children, too—about Negroes who have made important achievements. Principal Leslie P. Hill of the Choyang Normal School spoke on "The Negro's Contribution to American Life." Associate Editor Alice Durbar-Nelson of the Philadelphia-Wilmington Advocate said: "Many children receive their picture of the black race through a picture of some Rottontot an elementary geography seen in an elementary school. We need need of giving children the needed facts concerning Negroes. We do not teach literature. We are taught by literature. Very often a good poem has a high value in shaping human lives. Very often the wall of white truth. We need not admit colored truth. We need to give children by giving them correct pictures of the contributions which all groups have made to civilization." The New South and the Negro Dr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the James and Slater Boards and rector of William and Mary College, made in "How to Promote inter-racial Understanding and Co-operation." Doctor Dillard pointed out that "the great body of Southern people hate lynching and want it blotted out." He said that there are hoodlums everywhere, North and South, who are that education, religion, and public opinion extremely important factors in the adjustment of race problems." Negro Education in Delaware Dr. Joseph H. Odell, director of Service Citizens of Delaware, in his address on "Equal Educational Op- portunity for Negroes said" Pierre S. Dupont, director of Negroes in Delaware week after week in 1910. We found the Negro schools in deplor- able condition. A photograph was made of every Negro school and every Negro school was carefully measured. We secured a complete picture of the Delaware school system for Negroes. That does not have a single Negro schoolhouse with a Negro schoolhouse houses insanity, foul, and inadequate. During the past eighteen months Delaware has built fifty-one Negro schools with ninety- three rooms. There has already been completed $706,000 worth of Negro schools. Under contract now there are $215,000 in addition. There are still nine Negro schools to be built. Dr. James E. B. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, declared that men and women are looking to Dalaware as a model State in careful educational planning. Doctor Gregg stated that the problem of raising the level of education is that of working hardest where the problem are worst. He pointed out that Negro education must be undertaken for the interest of both white and colored people.

Cops Annual Classic With Bennett One Thanksgiving Day the fighting football teams of the Agricultural and technical College of Greensboro, N.C. defeated the team representing Bennett College, also of Greensboro, in their annual football game. The contest was staged on a grass field before a crowd of about one thousand cheering adherents of both teams. The A. & T. boys were the first to fake the field. Led by Captain Howell, the big-line-plunging fullback, the thirty members of the squad presented a sight such as would please any coach. Big husky and fast they showed a polished fineness in running off their plays. About two-twenty, Bennett's heroes escorted by their faculty and student body, made their way on the field. Their faces clearly reflected Bennett's fierceness, Beatt and & T., or leave their bodies, the field." Led by Captain Mose Byers, their sensational quarter-back and broken field runner, they appeared to be the very epitome of speed. After a brief consultation with the team, Bennett decided to play Bonnett, "Dow's deck" Patterson, the great center and captain-elect of next year's team, booting the ball almost over the goal. Bennett succeeded in making two first downs through A. & T.'s supposedly impregnable ball, an exchange of punts, Bennett again encounters a buttumble on the twenty-1st yard line, Captain Howell recovering for A. & T. At this point, "Mall" Bell, the speedy little 135 lb. quarterback dropped back and heaved a long forward, Bennett's big right end standing over the goal line. The try for point was missed. During the rest between halves, the A. & T. coaches raked their men over the coales and they came back in the second half and put on an exhibition, then been seen bofoke in North Carolina. Using all the plays in her repertoire, quarterback Bell drove his men at high speed to the fifteen yard line where he himself, hit the line and broke through for a touchdown. The team was the terrific line plunging of "Tech" Howell and the perfect use of the lockstep formation made famous by Centre College against Harvard. In this play the line paraded back and forth across the field so that he was fifteen or twenty yards to the right of his teammates. This play completely baffled the Bennett eleven in each of five times that it was used. For Bennett the work of Byers was a sensation. He was a host in himself. The whole A. & T. team shone brilliantly, but too much credit cannot be given to E. Bell, the plucky little halfback, who fought his way from obscurity on the second team to a stellar position on the Varsity. Captain Howell and M. Bell also played great games. He played exceedingly well but the playing of Patterson, Brown, Lane, and Spaulding was especially scintillating. The game went on in smooth fashion, showing absolute control of the men and a comprehensive knowledge of the rules. Referee Dr. Hangraves, Shaw; Umpire, Dean Boyer, Yale; Head Coach, D.

Throughout the first half the Norfolk boys employed straight football, the swift backfield composed of Tyler and swept thru tackles, over guards and around ends. At no time during the first half was the goal line of the Norfolk boys in danger. The inclement weather made the game slow at times, but taking all things in consideration, it was as good as White showed. The team, White showed a line offense and end running calculation that bewildered the Gold and Blue. The boys from The property has been platted into 3000 lots and all laws in regard to cemeteries have been complied with. It is now being thoroughly drained and improved, and work will begin at once on planting) the finest shade trees and putting in grass and flowers. Hampton held their offensive power in reserve until the beginning of the second half, then with a burst of speed they brought the spectators to their feet and astonished the Norfolk boys for a while. It was during this period that Hampton made their only scores. Union Street kicked off. West raced the oval 24 yards before he drove in Harrison. Harrison went over tackle for 6 yards. The high school defense worked well. On this play Harrison fumbled but recovered. Coble went through for 4 yards. West kicked to Hampton. They were held for downs. They kicked to West who ran away. From this time Washington began its march down the field. Harris went over for the first touchdown. Coble intercepted a forward pass and another march was started that ended in another score for Washing- At the beginning of the second quarter a Hampton player intercepted a forward pass and shook off tackle after tackle and after two downs scored. The goal was also kicked. Booker Washington received the ball, and Boston carrying the oval to the 5 yard line, with Allen Taylor scoring. West sent the oval spinning between the uprights.

"Whirlwind" Johnson To Lead Lincoln, 1923 "Whirlwind" Johnson, Lincoln University football team's famous backfield player, has been elected captain Lincoln's squad for the season of 1923. Two years ago this young athlete was put into the Lincoln backfield during a major game as a substitute. This was in the halcyon days of Law, Salent, Sam Par, Tom Williams and Duck, Green, and by his consistent lining hung, dazzling run and brilliant running from the air, he became famous over night. He presented to the writer a truly heroic figure, his "mane" tossing in the air, with his continual exhibition of sportsmanship, the writer gave him the epithet "Whirlwind." This epithet he has carried thru two seasons with justification. Johnson had an amazing experience on the eleven of Shaw and Union universities. At Union he was a three letter man. However, it was in the West Virginia game that "Whirwind" covered himself with glory. Before six thousand people at Charleston, W. Va., last October, Johnson played a game Morgan of West Virginia. The Governor said that he had seen some of the best hulffnacks in the country, but he had not seen one to match "Whirwind" Johnson. Johnson has been selected for the mythical all-American eleven. Johnson played an exceptional athlete, but he is a thorough student and a gentleman. Last week the Lincoln Varsity squad met to elect a captain and after considering the qualifications of several star players, they elected "Whirwind" to the captainty.

MADDEN AND SON 571 Church Street Opposite St. Vincent's Hospital "ON BEING BLACK" An epitome of the injustice of the color line in America is graphically put in an article in the New Republic for November 1. The writer visualizes the experience of a Negro as a customer in a store, an applicant for a position, and a seeker of accommodation for ocean travel. to promote wholesome recreation; and eyeglasses. "It is a Jewish place; elderly is the salesman. . . . Here is gogles, to see the dust from your eyes. Oh I can show you others if you don't like that; one with a bigger dust piece; all the colored chaufers on Cumberland Street buy gogles; I am not a chauffer I reply softly. We were it a Nego store I might have said it with a great deal of emphasis or vehemence. But being what it is, and knowing that the moment I raise my voice I am accused of unliness" I went to the creeet. I wanted to bellow in his cars, 'Don't think every. Negro you see is a chauffer. But the man is overwhelmingly amused. I can see his face wrinkles in an atrociously cymbidium. I cannot stand it that smile, I walk out." He narrates his experience in trying to get a job as an experienced stenographer. When he reports in response to a letter telling him of a vacancy, he is first told that there is a vacancy for a position; after some hesitation he is directed to a man "who is a pupil of mine," apparently not ready to offer employment. When his wife needs an ocean voyage for her health he is required to purchase an entire cabin instead of the only steamer line to Jamaica. He concludes: It is the only thing to do... It pays to be black." Henry Ford On The Race Question In the Dearborn Independent of Omaha, KS, a student in characteristic fashion on the race question. After pointing out that some people are only now discovering that there is a race question in this country, and that there are agitators who are, taking it up for the sake of personal advantage, he demands that they be aware of the necessity of Negroes, but, unlike many writers, he does not view it with alarm "There may be," he says, "something alarming in the method which is used"; to stimulate race consciousness; there is the educational, moral, and social responsibility of the incendiary method. The difficulty with the incendiary method is that it does not rouse race consciousness, but race hatred." He expresses the hope that with the growing Negro leadership this race consciousness will be recognized in this connection he gives a warning against false leadership. He has a word of advice to the white race, too, saying: "The race that falls itself superior can only benefit it by superior ability to help the other; an ability to retail its superiority by actually fulfilling its racial destiny as helper of the others." He falls in line with those who believe in the correction of problems through education and understanding and not through coercion. The duties and responsibilities of life should never shut out the city from the chef thing of his life shall never want for the necessary things of life.
