Norfolk Journal and Guide PREACHER KILLED IN AUTO-TRAIN SMASH-UP MAYOR OF BOSTON SCORES OBJECTORS TO YOUNG DOGAN Defends in Strong Language His Appointment of Colored Boy to Read Declaration of Independence From Old State House. The naming by Mayor Curley, of Boston, of Chas. C. Dogan, Jr., honor student of the English High School, to read the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the old State house on the occasion of the annual Independence Day celebration provoked a caustic letter of criticism from Thomas F. Armstrong. J. Frank McClelland and Frank Dalton, three former Bostonians who now reside in Charlotte, N. C. The former Bostonians declared the mayor's action was an "insult to the Boston school boy and the average Bostonian," and asked the mayor to reply to their communication, which was in part as follows: "Being former Bostonians and still residents of Boston, in spirit if not body, and further knowing the Negro as we know them, we protest such an appointment on the grounds of a deliberate insult to the Boston school boy and the average Bostonian. The South would not allow such an appointment to be made and we believe, knowing both sides as we do, that what this section of the country will not tolerate should not be accepted by the city of our birth. We make the above protest aware that the question of race has never been settled, but we feel as all here do, in the supremacy of the white race." The Mayor's Reply mayor Curley characterizes void of all knowledge, government, and offer, the letter is in part as if he received a letter from so devoid of America the principle and praetorily and stupidly imply that this ill-mannered Carolinian; for affer profoundly uprecognizing the need for conventional social relations. You know you live in Chennai; they must be acquainted meddling in the exhibited in your former residence in your home you have committed by a betrayal of their birth and contempt. But you as the spokesman who fought and defied man was selected for these reasons: he has surrendered rivalry of his family; he is an 'honor prize' in their attainment; how pupils; and his expression of presence in Massachusetts' government. One of his defenses of human rights is raised a monument to thousands of his train in the war of the for democracy in the war or creed who is wrong for the Republic is American Democracy; to you three men that the principles embodied independence, the Oceania Massachusetts Born God made man in He incased his soul. I demand to you the desire to further afield to find a congenial location in North Carolina any portion of America. In his reply Mayor Curley characterized the criticism of his action as "devoid of all knowledge of the principles and practices of our government, and offensively and stupidly impartment." His letter is in part as follows: "I have seldom received a letter from any source so lacking in good manners, so devoid of Americanism, so destitute of all knowledge of the principle and practices of our government, and so offensively and stupidly impertinent. It is some satisfaction to know that this ill-mannered effusion was not written by any native Carolinian; for while Massachusetts and Carolina may differ profoundly upon the race question, both are as one in recognizing the necessity of practicing politeness and observing the conventions of decent society, in correspondence and social relations. You do not speak therefore, either for the town you live in, Charlotte, or the State of North Carolina, so they must be acquitted of the offensive, ill-bred and unwarranted meddling in the affairs of Massachusetts and Boston exhibited in your letter. When men claiming birth and former residence in Boston are guilty of the gross discourtesy you have committed, and its bad manners are emphasized by a betrayal of the principles and an insult to the traditions of their birthplace, they became at once deserving of scorn and contempt. "I refust to accept you as the spokesman of the State and the children of the men who fought and died for human freedom at King's Mountain." "Charles C. Dogan was selected for the honor conferred on him for excellent reasons: he has shown a competence and capacity in the generous rivalry of school life to make him a worthy choice; he is an 'honor pupil,' that is to say, a pupil of more than ordinary attainments; his choice has the approbation of his fellow pupils; and his selection to read the immortal Declaration is an expression of our recognition of the services of his race in Massachusetts to human freedom and democratic government. One of his race died in the streets of Boston in defense of human rights—Crispus Attacks—and Boston has raised a monument to his memory on Boston Common; and thousands of his race fought and died to preserve the Union in the war of the Rebellion, and to 'make the world safe for democracy' in the World War. Any man of any race, color or creed who is willing and worthy to serve the Flag and die for the Republic is worthy to have his place in the Sun of American Democracy. "Let me commend to you three men the wisdom of reading and remembering the principles embedded in the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and the Massachusetts Bill of Rights." The Scriptures tell us that God made man in His own image, be the envelope in which He incased his soul white, black brown or yellow. "Let me also commend to you the desirability of moving out of Carolina and going further afield to regions where men of your viewpoint may find a congenial atmosphere which I am sure is not to be found in North Carolina, and should be impossible to find in any portion of America." Charles C. Dogan, Jr., is a Norfolk boy, a son of Mr. C. C. and Mrs. Lucy B. Dogan, of Avenue A. He will enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology next fall. Segregation Ordered In Register's Office (Special To The Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., July 2—Orders for the complete segregation of Negro clerks in the office of the Register of the Treasury were hereby issued on last Thursday to the Alphonzo Harris, chief of "the color division," by Harley V. Speelman, the Register. Negro men were assigned a separate toilet.

Dr. Harris, when interviewed, would neither confirm nor deny the statements. This action of Mr. Speelman is in striking contrast with the large appointments of colored clerks when he assumed the duties of this office. At that time, however, he was making an effort to please the loss of the Registership, which had invariably gone to a colored man under former Republican administrations. LATE REV. FRANK L.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1923 AUTOMOBILE IS JONESMAYNOT DEMOLISHED IN GET CHANCE TO FATAL ACCIDENT HEAD HOSPITAL DEATH CLAIMS REV. RACE MAN IS GIVEN MARSHALL LAND GOOD APPOINTMENT Rev. Frank L. Mason Victim of Grade Crossing Accident. Well Known in Western Section of State. PRESIDENT OF BETHANY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION Emporia, Va., July 3.—Rev. Dr. Frank L. Mason, a prominent Baptist minister of this city, was instantly killed Tuesday, morning, June 26, when train 89 of the Norfolk and Western ran into his car and attempted to cross the tracks at Wakefield, where he was driving the machine, which was completely demolished. Dr. Mason was one of the poachers of the Bethany Baptist Association, and it was one of the striving efforts of his life to put this body in the front ranks of the Baptist denomination. For 19 he was the moderator of the association and died in this position. He had pastored for a number of years, holding the following charges at the time of his death: Hunting's Quarter Baptist for 24 years, Royal Baptist, 21 years; Relief for 18 years; Salem Baptist, 15 years. Rev. Mason was a member of St. John's Watchman, Masons; St. Lukes, G. U. of O. F.; Knights Pythians and W. C. Courts of Calanthians. Old and Influential Citizen, Member of Grand Army of Republic, Passes Away. Rev. Marshall Land, one of Norfolk's most prominent and influential citizens, and a member of those fast depleting ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, an old settler in the town, died at his residence of a servant of Boot Bolton streets, Saturday, June 30, at 12:15 o'clock, in his 75th year. Rev. Land had been in declining health for some time, but with strong constitutional powers, he remarkably withstood his ailments and the bearing down of the infirmity of a dozen weeks before his death when he was forced to take to his bed. Altho, having resigned from actively holding pastorates for more than a dozen years ago, upon the advice of his physician on account of a throat affection, Rev. Land for forty years previous to that of his father, minister and held enviable influence in the denomination until the day of his death. BUILT SEVERAL CHURCHES He founded a number of churches in Norfolk county years before Norfolk city comprised that section where his home was. He built a church in Shoulder's Hill, one in Bower's Hill and Ebenezer Baptist Church in Norfolk county, and prepared these charges for several years. Rev. Land had been a member of the First Baptist Church of this city, for over 49 years and would have celebrated his 50th year membership there in September. The congregation under the leadership of pastor John Ming as the king of his death planning to him a grand surprise celebration on his fifteenth anniversary as a member of the church. Marshall Land practically settled Barboursville, having been one of the first residents in that section who was thrue in the respect that the city is a special white city of Norfolk city and county held for him, he was able to aid any number of families to become home owners in Barboursville. In this respect his civic pride never waned. He always urged his children to buy homes at the time to see a sparse settlement when he moved there, to become a fine residence section with colored home owners. MEMBER SCHOOL BOARD Besides preaching the gospel, building churches and going among his people as an apostle of home ownership, Rev. Land found time in his earlier days to take a hand now and then in Norfolk county politics. That he was a man of large influence was recognized by those around the county courthouse, and to be in the favor of Marshall Land was a coveted desire of young aspirants for county offices as well as a member of Norfolk County School Board (Continued on Page 8).

C., July 2.—General Frank T. Meyer, the director, and D. L. B. Rogers, the director, of the Veterans' Bureau, are scheduled to arrive in Tuskegee, Alabama, on the morning of July 6. TO PAGEY DEMAGOS The object of their visit is twofold. First, they will inspect the United States hospital for disabled Negro veterans of the World War, at Tuskegee, preparatory to initiating a complete Negro personnel, and pacify the Alabama demagogs, who have begun anew their agitations against Negroes being put in charge of this hospital. Pending the return of General Hines and Dr. Rogers there will be a number of ordered persons to positions in this hospital. It is understood, however, that the task of selecting a competent Negro staff has been just about completed, so far as the obtaining of specialists in the (Continued on Page 6) John D. Gainey, of Chicago, Made Assistant Chief Clerk of Railway Mail Service. (By A, N, P.) Chicago, Ill., July 5—When Seeen Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson paused dramatically in the speech he was delivering to Railway Mail Clerks, members of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, in the Appointment Club last Sunday morning and without a single person in the room handed to John D. Gainey, a colored man, his appointment as Assistant Chief Clerk, bedlam almost broke as cheers and congratulations poured forth on the two. For the first time in the history of the railway mail service a colored man has been appointed to a supervisory position and clerks all over the country can take an added pride in their work because of the opportunity. Mr. Gainey was ordered by General Henderson to proceed to Washington, D. C., where he will be stationed and likewise was commissioned to visit the next annual convention of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, which convenes in Fort Worth, July 11, as an official of the service and as his personal representative. CROWD WITNESSES APPOINTMENT The assembly room of the Appomatox Club was crowded with railway mail clerks and a large number of students, the service, General Henderson, who is the son-law of Congressman Martin B. Madden, had come all the way from Washington just to address the gathering—coming to the meeting from the train and leaving it for the station to return. He paid a high tribute to the 20,000 colored employees in the postal service, and especially the students, who pledged his support to the campaign which the Alliance is making to do away with the submission of photographs when taking the civil service examination. President Alonzo Lennn, of the Alliance, stationed at Atlanta, who was unable to attend the meeting, but who sent a strong letter which was read, urged abolition of the photographs, and said that the campaign had must have appointed to the R. M. S. for several years due to discrimination on account of photographs. Among those who spoke were, Mr. Gainey, who is well-known throughout the country; David B. Hawley, vice-president, Appomattox Club; A. L. Weaver, of Chicago P. O.; John H. Passmore, clerk, Criminal Court; M. H. Jones, of R.M. H. Jones, District President of the Alliance. All commended the new spirit exemplified by the appointment and expressed their appreciation of General Henderson's part in bringing it to pass.

Government Sends Representatives to Alabama—Will Undertake to Placate Natives and Start Hospital Functioning. MIGRATION MUST END COLOR LINE REBUKED ADVISES GEN. JERVEY BY PARIS NEWSPAPER (Special To The Journal and Guide) Tuskegee, Ala.—After having resorted to almost every one of the most difficult battles against the appointment by the government of colored physicians and nurses to operate the government hospital here for disabled colored veterans, a thousand or more white residents of this town and surrounding countryside robed themselves in Ku Klux regalia and marched through the streets of Tuskegee in ominous silence. Prior to the march the town had to parade drove their automobile and forth in front of the Tuskegee Institute grounds, and several times through the section of the town inhabited by colored people. They carried banners heralding the fact that they represented "50,000 Alabama Klansman." The colored citizens of Tuskegee and of Alabama have not been able to fathom the bitter opposition of Alabamians to the appointment of colored doctors and nurses at the New Orleans hospital. The only plausible ground for this opposition could be based on the economic. The positions pay fairly good salaries and carry with them an amount of dlg n'it y, and responsibility. Those in charge of the hospi- Portsmouth City Manager Says Simple Justice Will End Exodus. General J. P. Jervey, city manager of Portsmouth, in a talk before the members of the Norfolk Lions' Club in its weekly meeting, said, "The migration of Negro labor to industrial centers of the North is one of the vital problems this community has to face today. We must make up our minds now to keep them in the South, where they belong. Laws to keep them here are futile. The question of labor after all, is an economic one, and Negroes the same as white workmen, will go where financial returns and living conditions are best. It is a simple matter to keep them here. Only two things are needed, simple justice and better living conditions." < REMARKS DISCUSSED A group of representative colored citizens a few days ago discussing City Manager Jervy's remarks, stated that they were interested in knowing if the white people of Norfolk and Porstmouth that is, those who control the city governments, actually know under what humiliating disadvantages the bulk of the colored population of the townmen said, "It is a fact that the average colored man hopes and strives to have his family live in a decent home in decent surroundings. They want conveniences, such as electric lights, bathtubs, gas and other things conducive to sanitary living. But it is sadly admitted, that with rents at-top prices for shanties in these cities, as easily out, but the question for the average Norfolk citizen to even think of enjoying these conveniences at the prevailing wages in this section." Another prominent colored citizen of Norfolk recently returned from the North, said, "Rents are high in the North and West, and so are wages. Again, you get something for your rent there. People will pay the rent because they can live in comfort and decency. Nobody objects, to paying high rent when wages are high and they get conveniences commensurate with what they pay."

The whites seem to object to Negroes holding positions under the government even though their duties consist solely of waiting upon sick Negro soldiers. Another interesting phase of the matter is that Alabama has enacted a law forbidding white nurses to attend sick colored people. Now they are clamoring, in spite of this law, to have white nurses installed in the Negro hospital. When the hospital was first proposed no white city in the South would have it within its confines, and to save the government embarrassment, Tuskegee Institute came forward and donated from its extensive acreage ground for the buildings. It is believed by some that the kind of opposition to the proposed Negro personnel of the hospital is intended by the whites to further embarrass the government, and prevent, if possible, the operation of the hospital at all. "We do not want any government hospitals for Negroes," said one prominent white citizen of Tukagree. Two governments, representatives will arrive here this week to confer with Tukagree citizens with the view of composing the strained situation. "Peiti Bleu" Demands White Americans Respect Customs of France. Paris, July 1—An incident in which four white American tourists refused to make a char-a-banc excursion through Paris because the vehicle contained twelve Negro soldiers is taken up this morning in a two-column leading article in the "Petiti Bleu." The French newspaper demands that tourist agencies insist that their patrons respect the customs of the country in which they are vacationing and tells the Americans that France is not the United States where human beings are Jim-crowed, insulted and degraded because of their color. "These Americans behaves as vulgar persons," says the Petit Bleu. Their ridiculous aversion for men of color contains no excuse. They are not at home but in our country, which is an entirely different affair. The protest of white integrallum, marshal, servant son, and it is to be regressed one was not given which would make them see all colors. It is unfortunate that it was not made apparent that a Frenchman, whatever his color, is worth at least any foreign tourist." American visitors to Paris have been for a long time carrying on campaign handlers and villification that they tried to have people of color barred from many Paris restaurants, theatres and other public places. Failing in this, they have opened up "American" cafes from which Negroes are barred. Removed 10 Tuakegee Nashville, Tenn. July 2—About forty Negro ex-service men now being treated at the Central hospital under contract with the government are to be removed to Tuakegee. Information received by Dr. W. Skeets, Secretary, interpendent, is from officials, all Washington. These men were at the state normal, until President Hale, had his difficulty. Whether or not the state officials will protest, the removal of these men will depend upon the outcome of a conference held yesterday, in the office of Governor Peay. Since the fight for a state of Negro surgeons at Tuakegee has been won, it is thought that the order forecasts the removal of all Negro surgeons from other institutions to Tuakegee. PERSONAL BREVITIES Doings At Home Rev. J. H. Ashby, former pastor of Shiloh Baptist Cheurch, this city now of Second Baptist Church, Ashbury Park, N. J., was in the city when the minister having the Minister's Conference at Hampton Institute. Dr. Ashby was accompanied by Rev. G. L. Johnson his associate pastor and Mrs. Ashby. After greeting old friends and assuring them that he is progressing nicely, in New Jersey, he returned to his home. Work on the new half-million dollar vocational-high school building for colored children under erection on Mabey Avenue is progressing nicely. The walls are longer than ten feet up, and it looks like it will be completed on schedule time. Work on the Pentacostal Holiness Church on Princess Anne avenue is moving along. When completed the building will add another fine brick church to Norfolk. Street showers were opened for colored children at the corner of Washington avenue and O'Keefe streets, last week, during the excessive hot weather. ```markdown ``` Munson Rubber Company at the corner of Bute and St. Paul streets has added a line of hardware to their business. The place is well stocked and is the only hardware store in the city under colored management. There is no noticeable reduction of rents in the colored sections of the city, even the quite a number of families have left for the North and West. House rent signs are plentiful on the streets at the present time, but most of these are tacked on dilapidated and nondesirable houses and Negroes will not occupy them if they can possibly get more decent homes at reasonable rents. Altho, any number of familiar faces are missed from the streets and on inquiry it is revealed that they have joined the migration movement, there has not been any wholesale exodus of colored laborers out of Norfolk as in cities further South. There is a law in this state that forbids agents soliciting workmen for shipment out of the state, but the law is easily evaded. It is not unusual to walk along the streets and have some one clandestinely to push a card in one's hand, reading "1000 Colored Laborers Wanted In Pittsburgh." The farmers rejoiced at the rain fall of this week, and the city dwellers must live on dirt streets were just lightened. It rained heavily enough to lay the dust and not quite enough to bring on the tracking in of mud to cause a "balling out" by the housewife. # The Journal and Guide was sold out on the city newsstands early last week and the demand for them far exceeded the supply. 10,000 were printed.

The congregation worships in the building in bad weather and when it is hot they pitch the tent across the street on their lot and enjoy outdoor worship. A half dozen or more of new bungalows have been completed on Hanson avenue and are occupied by colored families. On Wide street near Highland avenue a three story brick apartment house is under erection. It is being built by the Metropolitan Bank interests. The city manager announces this week that he had a conference with representatives of the Virginia Railway and Power company recently relative to extension of gas mains to sections of the city now insured by the company. Colo- people living in some highly developed sections of the city are without that commitment and are eagerly watching for some announcement from the gas people about whether their sections will be included in the extended service.

BRIGGS Interpreter of Theology and the English Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS LUKE 2: 41-52 GOLDEN TEXT: Thou shalt call his rame Jesus; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins—Matthew 1: 21. 1. The Journey of Mary to Jerusalem.—Vs. 41, 42. Husband Mary's character. "One can hard- be impressed, in studying ly fail to be impressive Mary's character, with her quietness of spirit; her meditative inwardness of disposition; her admirable self-control; her devout and gracious gift of sacred silence. The story of her life and of her relationship to Je- Mary's character, with her quietness of spirit; her meditative inwardness of disposition; her admirable self-control; her devout and gracious gift of sacred silence. The story of her life and of her relationship to Jesus is consistent throughout and touched with manifold unconscious traits of truth. Such a narrative could not have been feigned or fabled."—Poff. Louis M. Sweet. Mary and Joseph the parents of Jesus were devout church-goers. Every year at the feast of the passover they went to Jerusalem. When Jesus became twelve years of age, he accompanied his parents to the passover. "Women were not obliged to attend the feast of the passover but many women went with their husbands, and it was Mary's custom to go there with Joseph every year. When Jesus was twelve years old, the age when the obligations of the law were binding upon him, they took the Lad with them to the feast." 2. Mary's Anxiety Over Her Son. Vs. 43-18. "I questioned whether there is ever a pilgrimage made from Jerusalem to the Jordan at the present day without a separation of children and parents equally prolonged." — (Thompson.) Without his parents knowledge Jesus tarreid behind in Jerusalem. Mary and Joseph did not miss Jesus until they had gone a day's journey towards Nazareth from Jerusalem. It might appear strange to us that the parents of Jesus would take it for granted that he was in the company, and did not begin to seek for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance until after they had gone a day's journey. But when we know journeyed together; and a Jewish boy of twelve had m ore liberty than a modern boy; and the women in all probability walked by themselves, and the men journeyed together, we can readily see how the parents of Jesus would feel no unacness at his absence for some little time after the journey towards home had been started. Mary and Joseph after searching for Jesus three days found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing and asking them questions "While the word sought" implies that the search was thorough and far and near, we are sure they did not look for him in a saloon, or gambling house or any resort where the influences were bad or questionable. The parents who can be reasonably sure that a lost boy is not intentionally among degrading influences have much to be thankful for as compared with those who are sadly certain that their lost boy is being physically, intellectually, morally, spiritually ruined. 3. Mary is Perplexed over the words of Jesus.—Ns, 49-52. "Not that it was meaningless to them, but they did not fully comprehend its meaning. Nothing but his life, and death, and resurrection could fully interpret either the spirit of self-consecration implied in these words, or what was that business to which he must need devote himself. Do any of us fully understand what it is to be about the Father's business?" (Abbott). Jesus answers his mother in language wonderfully significant—How is it that ye sought me? Know ye not that I must be in my Father's house? "Already there had come upon him the sense that he was set apart the divine call had awakened his soul, and the consciousness that he was not as others had already begun to exercise it influence upon him."—Margaret E. Sanster. While the words of Jesus were dark to his parents, Many his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. "She kept all these sayings in her heart, and pondered over them.' 'What deep thoughts the mother of Jesus had, were hers alone. But we have the same duty to truth, and it will never disclose its innest sweetness to us, nor take so sovereign a grip of our very selves as to mold our lives, unless we, too, treasure it in our hearts, and by patient brooding on it understand its hidden harmonies, and receive its transforming power A non-meditative religion is a shallow religion. Let us hide his word in our hearts, and often in secret draw out our treasure to count and weigh it." Alexander Maclaen. BRIGGSOGRAMS A woman's noblest task is to protect the normal growth of her child in body, mind and soul. Joseph and Mary were model parents. Model parents do not send their children to church; they take their children to church. WEEK DAY SERMONETTE WEEK DAY SERMONETTE By DR. H. T. S. JOHNSON Interracial Secretary for Oklahoma A Command and a Promise Matt. 7: 7-8 "Ask and it will be given you; seek and you will find: knock and the door will be opened to you. The Lord Jesus meant those words not only for the people to whom He spoke in that matchless sermon on the Mount, but also for all people everywhere for all time. They seem to be especially applicable to the Negro in the United States because to him so many privileges are denied, advantages hidden and doors closed, that he must continually ask, seek and knock in order to throw off the handicaps of slavery, ignorance and superstition that stand in the way of his coming into his own. Therefore, my prayer is that the Negro in this country will think of the scripture which we consider this week, as coming from the burning heart of Jesus direct to him. "Ask is the first command, followed by the promise, it will be given you." If as a race, we would regard this command and promise as meant for us, personally, we should not have to get along without so many things that would be ours for the asking. Without intending to overlook or make any excuse for the white man's prejudice against the Negro, it is but fair to say that if we ask for them, many things denied us now would be given. White men are ready to help us get better accommodations on the railroads. But we are not asking for them. The masses of our people, many of them Negroes of Wealth and education, suffer the humiliation of the present "jim crow" regulations without a word of complaint. This is so generally true that when an occasional Negro protests and asks for better accommodations, he is looked upon by some as an agitator. Too many of our big men stand in with the conductor and ride at reduced rates. Those who do obligate themselves to the extent that they cannot protest against anything. They are paying too much for the little rebate they get. It is costing them self-respect and their freedom to ask for better treatment on public carriers. The Corporation Commission is supported by public taxation. The Negro, therefore, contributes to its maintenance. That Commission, I know from personal experience, will investigate every complaint brought before it, without reference to the complexion or race of The Norfolk District Conference and Sunday School Institute of the Virginia Annual Conference A. M. E. Church will convene in St. Lake A. M. E. Church at Daughterty, Vg., July, 24-28. The annual sermon will be preached at the evening session of the first day by Dr. J. A. Young, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church Norfolk. During this session Rev. R. T. Leak will give a talk on "The Importance of Christian Education in the Development of the Race. Throuout the remainder of the session important addresses will be delivered by p prominent A. M. E. Churchmen on topics relative to the further development of religious activities and Christian influence in the church and communities. Among those who will address the convention and their subjects are: Rev. G C Taylor, "Financial Condition of the People throuout the District;" Rev. F. A. Scotton, "Spiritual Condition of the Church;" Rev. W. E. Spratley, "Condition of the Public Schools;" Rev. J. H. Ross, "Requirements of the Sabbath Schools;" Mr. J. H. N. Savage, "What are the People Doing for Missions;" Mr. Leroy Grandy, "The Duties of a Local Preacher;" Rev. J. A. Beckett, "The Moral Condition of the People;" Mr. Chas. S. Ferebeck, "Means Necessary to make the Churches more Prosperous Financially;" Rev. W. E. Spratley, "The Relation of Baptized Children to the Church;" Rev. J. W. Harmon, "The Training of the Youth in the A. M. E. Church thru the Allen League;" Mrs. Mamie E. Church, "The Model Sunday School Teacher;" Miss Louise Selby, "The Model Superintendent;" Our Best Not Our Bit;" Rev. S. S. Morris, "Model Primary Class;" Mrs. Mary N. Smith; "Why the Sunday School should be Graded," Mr. W. W. Bailey; "The Value of Class Organization;" Mrs. Maria L. Steptoe; "The Sunday School a Training Department of the Church," Prof. Charles N. McCune; address, "Go Forward," Rev. J. A. Young; "How to Increase the Number of Conversions in our Schools," Mrs. Mary J. Saunders; "How I Make My Sunday School Go," Mr. Joseph F. Church. The Institute officers are: Rev C. R. Saunders, D. D., presiding elder; Lt. James M. Collins, district superintendent; Mrs. Mary Nottingham Smith, assistant district superintendent; Mr. Joseph F. Church, secretary; Miss Louise Solby, assistant secretary; Mr. Charles S. Forebee, treasurer; Rev G. C. Taylor, D. D., chorister; Miss Evelyn Francis, pianist. Church-going parents will very likely have church-going children. The years between ten and twelve are the seed time for religion. the complainant. Much could be done toward making better conditions if, in appreciable numbers, we would ask that it be done. We suffer as a race in many respects because we fail to use our asker. In the matter of parks, play grounds, water, lights, sewer, better school facilities, etc., we lack, not only because of the white man's prejudice but also because we do not ask for relief along these lines. If we ask and in the interest of the Negro child for the things which rightly belong to us fainminded white men and women will join us in the appeal until it is granted. We know this because of past experiences and because God's word says, "Ask and it will be given you." "Seek and you will find," is the second command succeeded by a promise. For some things it is only necessary to ask. But for others we must seek. We must seek opportunities, advantages and friendships. These do not come just for the asking. Let us members of/the Negro race, bend our energies towards seeking a remedy for all racial ills. This can best be done through interracial cooperation—the practice of the better element of both races getting together in every community to the well being of all concerned. If we seek patience, self-control, opportunity, privilege, and the abiding influence of the Holy Spirit, they will be found; and with them, an experience of such "peace on earth, and good will towards men" as were prophesied by the angels who announced in song the birth of Jesus, to the gentle shepherds of Judea. Our text says: "Knock and the door will be opened to you." Ask for that which is plainly before us and unquestionably our own, to seek for debatable privileges and hidden friends, is not enough. We must knock at closed doors which keep us from the best things of life until those doors are opened. We have not space to discuss the many doors upon which it is our privilege to knock. Just let your thinker work and a field of service will open before you calculated to deepen your obligation to God and man, while a vision of accomplishments will rise in view, showing how mightily God can use frail and erring mankind in his program for kingdom building. Remember, "it is always he who asks who that receives, he who seeks that finds and he who knocks, that has the door opened to him." Baptists Will meet In Magruder, Va. July 11 Twenty-third Annual Session of Tidewater Sunday School Convention at Mount Gilead Baptist Church.

An editorial published in the Topeka Daily Capital of June 10 1923, endorses a protest by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the showing in Kansas of "The Birth of a Nation" film. Commenting upon the Association's telegram to Governor Davis of Kansas, urging him to prevent the film being shown, the Topeka Daily Capital said: An Encourager of Race Hatred "Not only state and local, but national action has been taken by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the new attempt to show a vicious Southern race film, "The Birth of a Nation," in Kansas. In Gov. Capper's and Gov. Allen's terms permission to show this picture in the state was refused. PAGE THREE When the Association named heard of the appeal for an exhibition of the film to Gov. Davis it telegraphed the Governor urging that you continue the splendid example of former Governors of Kansas in forbidding exhibition of this film, capitalizing and spreading as it does vicious racial prejudices which should have no part in American life. "It is difficult to see any purpose to be served by the revived attempt to show this picture. There are no conditions in Kansas warranting it. The picture is biased as to history and sectional in its appeal. It can not claim art as its motive, for propaganda sticks out all over it. Evil can easily come of it in its power of stimulating passion, and this is a sufficient objection against any picture to which it applies. "The Birth of a Nation" has been kept out of Kansas for reasons as strong today as at any time in the last five years." The Topeka Daily Capital is published by Senator Arthur Capper, who is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

CONSSEQUENCES Just a little flivver, Just a little booze, Just a little quiver, Then a long, long snooze. G. W. C. Brown says opportunity generally makes sure before knocking that it is at a lucky man's door. The following letter of gratitude for services rendered appeared in a London publication: "Mr. and Mrs. Blank wish to express thanks to their friends and neighbors so kindly assisted at the burning of their residence last night." Habits are the only cobwebs that grow into cables. This is the fulsome season of the year, grumbled Lieut. Thompson, when the ice box supplants the heat in providing hubby with something to carry out and empty. Why is it that pests like chinch bugs and chiggers multiply in spite of hades and highwater while necessary things like yellow legged chickens have to be nursed by day and by night in their short journeys. The question should suggest to some scientist the idea of grafting chigger and chinchbug vitality into products of the poultry yard. And marvellous though it—what if somebody could produce a breed of chinchbug the chigger and chinchbug ability to cultivate. Think of frying-size chickens being so plentiful as to become a pest. PLAYSAND PLAYERS The "Ethiopian Art Theater" has gone the way of all unconsciously conceived "Art Dreams," says Mr. W. H. H. Moore. Like the most of our good things it got into the wrong hands. Nothing suffers like art when it falls into the wrong hands. He says, that the trouble the art butchers and not Negro Artists are in possession of the thing. We would like to see the movement succeed, and with the proper support and supervision it can. Ivan H. Brown, the juvenile lead in "Shuffle," is the winner for a few weeks at the big company. He will begin rehearsing with the new show in a short time. Mr. Browning is a western boy from Los Angeles, Calif. Good Jazz as played by Negroes was expressed by Hudson Maxim, an inventor, in a protest to the court against discordant notes made by a white group of musician, "It is no use for white bands to play jazz. They don't know how. It takes the Negro to play jazz and we can't imitate it." Salem Tutt took his pen in hand in New Bedford and with his brother is writing a new show. The story is a simple one of the pathos and humor of every day Negro life, entirely free from propaganda, none of the manipulation of the true nature of performance. Its title is, "North Alin't South." The Palace is having a xetra good week with the Knickerbocker Co. and its two features, "A Fool There Was," and "The Christian." The Knickerbocker Co. is a classy musical comedy that is highly enjoyable. The "A Fool There Was" is taken from the dramatic masterpieces by Browne, inspired by Edward Kipling's "Vampire," played with a well supported cast. The Christian" also a good production. The Manhattan features all came up to expectations. The week started off with one the most interesting and enjoyable of productions, "Jask The Knife Man," it was well acted with fun and pathos, sprinkled in just enough to make any picture enjoyable. As the producers said—"for children from nine to ninety." The whole week was "good with such actors and actresses as Chas Ray. Pauline Get a copy of the Nation, issue of May 23, if you want to read an intelligent and sympathetic review of the Ethiopian Players in the words of a man who knows humanity as well as he, does the theater and literature. Here are a few of his ideas and impressions: "It isn't a question of being a Negrophile; I detest the subtle patronage of the world's implication anyhow; it is a question of being interested in art—art is expression, not imagination, as on varying vision and experience. Of art in that sense the Negro Players offered the only chance of the evening of May 7th, when one other and I were the only professional reviewers present. "I always shut my eyes during some portion of an important production. It is the only way one comes into relief the voices and dictates of the play. I think I have heard so many fine, resonate, well modulated voices on the boards of a single theatre in a single performance." That is a lot to say by a man with such a wide experience as Mr. Lewishon, the writer of the article. He hints that the Negro's greatest talent lies in plays, giving the soul race, as plays of their own would give, in the following statement: "Sidney Kirkpatrick had moments as Herod that were haunting; he had moments that were strangely inadequate. The latter were the moments of desperate laughter, of mad arrogance, of so despair. His pleading, was exquisite. That is the Negro voice is beseaching. But I must add that in neither piece was there any bad acting, tawdry acting, acting of artificiality as often seen on Broadway." To read the whole article will help anyone. "The Billboard" a magazine published in the interest of all art and especially dramatic and theatrical at, ... is continually publishing some article concerning Negro art, that shows its broadmindedness and its love of true art, such as the Negro music, acting, poetry and other associated arts that are bound to be the focus. Much of the credit is due Mr. J. A. Jackson of the "Billboard" staff. Another Book on Shakespeare When one is about convinced that everything has been written about Shakespeare that can be written, another book comes out. It has had a habit of doing so ever since anybody can remember, and the course of assumption that the same course will follow until Gabriel blows his horn. And what a marvelous thing it is that the works of a dramatic author can be so full of problems that the finest minds—and the dullest—are attracted to the unknotting of them. This book which we have to consider now deals with a particularly knotty lot of problems, and is calligraphic, with the speare's Plays. It is by Levin L. Schucking, a professor of the University of Breslau. The learned professor grapples with a weighty mass of matter, in deed. He is all for the objective method of criticism and pours out his scoon on the subjective mode. He is also quite dogmatic about it. He hints in the book of his book: "With the exception of Dante, no poet in the whole of European literature has called forth so vast a bulk of explanatory comment as Shakespeare. Innumerable are the diverse views that have been put forward of the character of his plays. Irreconcilable, too, are the differences of opinion that have arisen as to the true interpretation of his characters. Many have sought in vain to wrest his secret from him—many a one, like Schiller, has contented himself, after that he is hidden behind his creation; not a few have fashioned for themselves a god after their own image. This subjective criticism has triumphed; even those who regarded its conclusions with misgivings were incapable of finding a decentless professor, however, does not consider himself of this number. Good pictures have been few and far between recently. There are many available, for earlier in the year an unusual number of better than average features were released. Then came a flood of bad ones. Johnny Dunn is now starring in Fredorick, Farnum and the rest. The Star had one of the top notch productions of the year when it played the "Sheik." For magnificent scenes of sheer beauty, for dramatic acting, for colorful thrills, one after another, for the great heart romance of the proud English girl and who ruled a great tribe, "The Sheik," reaches, as near the top notch of motion picture entertainment as any picture seen in a while. The Wells featured another solid week thriller. Jackie Coogan in "Frozen," was just as advertised "Kid in the Jungle" role, reaching the heart and shaping it with a thrill, and gripping it with a throb. A showen of laughs and a sprinkle of tears. Larry Senson in "The Midnight Cabaret" was also good. --- VETERAN KENTUCKY RIDER COPS HONORS Astride Bahadur, He Wins Million Frames For Mantaheff, Russian Owner. Paris, July 1.—Bahadur, a French bred horse owned by Leon Mantacheff, a Russian, and ridden by the veteran American Negro champion, won the President of the French Republic stakes, 200,000 francs at the closing of the Metropolitan racing season at St. Cloud. Bahadur paid his backers 14 to 1. Contrary to the Grand Prix de Paris, where styles predominated on the race, remaining adherent was a strictly business contest and big betting affair. The King of Spain had to be content with third place in the race, his four year old, Ruban, ridden by Lucien Lyne, an Americanockey being able to cop this place. The crown, remaining adherent of the Bourbon line bet heavily on the Spanish king's horse. Steve Donohue, who flew from England to ride, Kefalin, last year's Grand Prix winner, arrived at the post only a few minutes before the race. But the three times winning jockey in the Epson derby could do no better than finish in the rut. New six million francs were bet on the president stakes in these races. London with his jazz cornet in the "Plantation Revue." "How many years has the Harriet Beecher Stowe masterpiece been dramatized?" seems to be the most persistent question asked by readers. The old classic "Ode to Innocence" spends thousands of times in the courty years and it is going stronger than ever. Other plays, whether mystery, bedroom facades, dramas, melodramas or romantic, have their vogue and pass, but the "Tom" show will likely be popular for we don't know how many centuries to come. To the younger folks many of whom have only read the book, the play has a growing popularity, and the folks it still has a considerable grip. We estimate that there are a dozen "Tom" shows touring the country today, many of them presenting all the familiar scenes. New York, July 5.—Wilfred R. Bain, of the staff of the Atlantic City, N. J., Daily Times-Gazette and special correspondent for many out of the city papers, reports that the original "Shuffle Along" company closed its phenom- and special continuous season at the Appaloosa theater in that city on June 23. Dissatisfaction between the four principals has been growing for some time. A number of causes had been assigned, but Sissle and Blake in an interview with Mr. Miller, and Lyles design to participate in the royalties on the song numbers made famous by the show. It is reported that the latter had been engaged for a George White production. So strained were the relations, between the people, that the final Lang Syne" was sung at the final curtain, so members of the "company walked off the stage. Sissle and Blake have opened a "Plantation Days" Revue at the Le Marne cafe on the Boardwalk in conjunction with Roy Smith and his band. The opening performance is smallwood, Johnnie Hudgins and a number of the former "Shuffle" people are in the cast. Among those are, Lottie Gee, Bob Davis, and the Four Harmony Kings. Mr. Sissle's grandmother was a guest at the opening.—By J. A. Jackson. That there is an increasing demand for plays and pictures alike with a real plot. Or in other demand for bigger and better plays and dramas is shown in the following statement by an eminent authority. "The day of the small picture is gone. "The day is gone when any kind of a story can be slapped together and sold, provided the name of a recognized star is featured in the billing. "No longer will people tolerate a motion picture which has as its only recommendation the presence of a star. "Pictures must be completely rounded out to attract and hold the critical public attention. "The day of the star is waning. "The day of the well-rounded picture is revived. "The featured players are impotent unless given a story that is dramatic and colorful, provided by a scenario writer and director who knows how to weave the tale into a gripping framework and given a background of clothes; properties and sets against which their work will reflect the proper brilliance." LOCAL ATHLETICS NEED TO BE REVITALIZED There have been a large number of complaints concerning the shortage of athletic facilities and events in Norfolk and vicinity. Not so long ago there were a number of athletic clubs in Norfolk and it appeared that some of them would start something that would put Norfolk, and especially the colored people of Norfolk, on the map in NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE the sport world. A well managed track and field meet in the latter part of the summer, would arouse and stimulate interest. Then, too, a good set of football games would be just the thing! But they must be well organized and managed, and the players must all work for a victory and let the personal glory be incidental. What Norfolk needs most of all is a few amateur baseball teams, and a good team representing Norfolk. There are very few tennis courts available to the public. Tennis is a game more of the citizens should take an active part in. You have to actually play tennis to get all Maddux Prize St. Paul Awards Inter-Collegiate Basketball Probable; Tennis May Be Major Sport. (BJ. E. WHITEHEAD) Lawrenceville, Va. June 22—St Paul School awarded Ashur Lee Maddux, '22, first-year Normal (Freshman, Junior College) 1922-'23, the "Crocker Athletic Prize" for 1923. Maddux was unanimously selected by the Student Athletic Board and the Athletic Council as St. Paul's best all-round athlete for the School-year 1922-'23. Wallace Thomas Parker, '24, Captain-elect of the football team, received the coveted honor last year. The "Crocker Athletic Prize" is an annual prize of $10 in gold given by Mr. W. H. Crocker of round athlete for the current session. The prize is given to stimulate interests in athletics, to serve as an incentive to the young men in major sports, major baseball, football, and field activities, and to create a strong competitive spirit among the players—all of which tends toward 'varsity teams.' Inter-collegiate Basket Ball Probable Basketball, which has been on intramural sport at St. Paul's due to lack of facilities for indoor games, may be placed on par next session with the popular sport now in vogue in the other schools of the C. I. A. A. The athletic management has submitted a plausible program to the authorities of the school. The present indications are that the day will be favorably acted upon within the very near future. Tennis May Be Major Sport Tennis is one of the most attractive campus sports at the School. The young women manifest a keen interest in the National pastime, while practically every young man plays the game. Class rivalry is directly responsible for progress made by the students in the classical sport. The Athletic Council is placing tennis on the major list. The matter, however, will be re-breed St. Paul's governing athletics body renders its decision. Berkley Athletics BEAT DOWNMOMENTS The Berkley Athletics, left the city Monday, June 25, on an excursion to the Junction Quick Steps on their home grounds. The game was one of the most inspiring seen in that city. Scott, for the Tartheels, started out as if though in form, but before he had finished the second inning the Athletics had found Tucker, the Athletics 'ace', for the downhill, something they could not hit and beaten ninth inning he had the locals just about begging for me. Tucker got over 18 strikeouts. R. H. E. Athletics: 10 12 3 Quick Steps: 4 Batteries: Ellis and Tucker Batteries: Tucker and Ellis, Scott and Young.

Shoe Bargains Announcement is made in an advertisement in these columns of a sale on summer shoes at Fleming's Shoe Store at 455 Church street. Some prices are announced for this season, but to be a amazing bargain, considering the quality of shoes this store is known for, Mr. Fleming stated that the sale comes as a natural sequence to the closing out of the trade season on these kind of shoes. Lots shoes must be sold now, he says, if they are to be sold at all this season because it will be time to put in fall stocks within a few weeks. His store has a space to carry stocks on the shelves. In the season to the same season in the next year, he adds, and for that reason this summer's shoes will be dumped on the market at give away prices, beginning Saturday morning, July 7. In this sale are children's shoes that will serve splendidly for the fall school season. They are marked prices, that it appears, would be the strictest economy on the part of parents to buy liberally of them. MIGRATION BOOSTS THEATRE BUILDING MIGRATION BOOSTS THEATRE BUILDING Theatres. Feel Loss of Wage Earning Element of South North Builds Playhouses. New York, June 28--Performers and those interested in the show world have just begun to notice the probable effects of the migration of wage earning Negroes to northern industrial centers. The first noticeable effect has been the diminished patronage in a number of southern cities. In some few instances the剧院 have been closed. Skipping the closed town has added to the transportation costs of shows and acts, and reduced the route by one or more weeks. A more pleasing outgrowth of the migration is the promise that is held out for the establishment of the theatres in northern centers of Negro population that have heretofore been considered by show interests catering to Negro patronage. Within the past three months several different theatrical groups have set about investigating the possibilities in the towns whose Negro population has been augmented by the migrants. Contrary to the general impression, these Negro groups have the big cities. Many are going to the smaller towns, Bridgeport and New Haven in Connecticut, Haverstraw, N. Y., Bothhelm, Altoona, Johnstown, and Farrell, Pn., Akron and Youngstown in Ohio, Gary, Ind., are typical of the cities that have very near future justify the establishment of a colored theatre. The most natural result will be that it will be possible to find a big new market for Negro talent. These towns will provide the needed jump breakers between the already established theatres in the big northern cities. All indications point to the potential of a new market with Washington and Louisville as the southernmost cities. As a substitute for this plan, it may develop that the powers that be in the colored show world may get together and out of the confusion that seems ominent will come two circuits, one comprising the smaller houses; and the other comprising the larger port dramatic shows, musical comedies and the vaudeville unit headed by draw name acts. Should either of these come to pass, the producers will be encouraged to continue producing for the colored market, for with enough weeks in these houses and the available time in the other theater, they will look with favor upon Negro talent, assures them of a reasonable run for their shows with a chance to get off the nut. VALENTINO IN COLORED HOUSE To Milton B. Starr goes the credit it for trying to bring to the patrons of the colored houses the better known performers of both races. Thru a New York agent he has presented a number of first-class colored acts from the big time in his own theatre. The Bijou, in Nashville, Tenn. The experiment has been a costly one for him, since the other managers have not co-operated as fully as they might have in the progressive move. However, Mr. Starr has persisted and his associates are fast learning the value of his ideas. His latest move has been to secure Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Valentine and their company, including the orchestra, for a June date This is the first appearance the film star has made before a colored audience. This following so close upon the Bishop tour, the engagement of the "Unloved Wife" Company and Mr. Starr's recent inquiries for information on the best Negro acts in the profession without regard to circuit, connections or present salary, indicates his intention to elevate the plane of Negro theatricals, on his circuit. Wins Gold Prize In Essay Contest Miss Edna B. Gregory has the distinction of being the prize winner of ten dollars in gold in the grammar school division of the essay contest conducted by the Technical Advisory Corporation, co-operating with the local school authorities. The essays were written by the pupils in the classroom during the latter part of May, the writing being considered part of the school work. English. Teachers chose the best essays, submitted and forwarded them to the Technical Advisory Corporation office, where their relative merit was determined by the following judges: Albert L. Roper, Pres.; of the Council; Mrs. Frank Anthony Walker, Hope Hope-Mary Chapter, U. D. C.; Mrs. H. E. Page, President Housewives' Louis; Louis L. Jaffe and H. D. Perkins, of the Lodge Dispatch.

Mastin's Report Reflects Credit Upon These Institutions. The report of Dr. Joseph T. Mastin, who upon request of the city authorities, made a survey of the city's charities, is particularly involved in the local citizens in some of its phrases, and of general interest because it deals with the subject of charity which com- mands the interest of all groups of people. The report addresses itself to the colored charitable organiza- tions in the following manner: United Charities. Not very well organized. All workers are volu- ters. Recommendation: That a committee from the board of public welfare and the United Charities, in consultation with the colored workers interested in family relief work, consider organizing a board to be composed of five members of the charities and five colored social workers. This board in co-operation with the United Charities should share the conduct of family relief work throut the city. Children's Home: The president is capable and good work is being done. Recommendation: Should do a larger work. D. W. G. A.: Doing good work. Need more room including auditorium. Community Center; Work should be more extensive and equipment better. The clinics are doing good work. D. Mastin's report contains the only information ever received by the colored citizens from an unbiased source on the merits of the conduct of the charities upon which they are called to support. It reflects credit upon those who labor the J. C. Price School Wednesday June 13th. Miss Gregory received her grammar school training from the first grade thru the eight in the Price School.

Private Instruction Wm. J. Kemp, violinist 108 Church St. st. Denby Permanent Organization Effected; James A. Spratley Is Made Secretary. Permanent organization of the Norfolk Civic and Welfare League was effected Tuesday night at Secedo Calvary Baptist Church when a group of public spirited citizens interested in fostering the organization met for a second time. The first meeting was held several weeks ago when a temporary organization was formed with C. S. Palmer. quite a representative gathering was present at the meeting last Tuesday night which was presided over by Mr. Palmer. After the objects of the proposed league were re-stated by James A. Spratley, secretary of Community Center and one of the moving spirits in endeavoring to bring about the organization, quite a warm discussion arose relative to the league should function in event of permanent organization. This discussion ended with the opinion prevailing that the organization confine its activities purely to civic welfare work. Upon the declaration of Dr. F. S. Coppage to accept the presidency of the permanent organization, Rev. C. M. Long was chosen for that position with Mr. Spratley as secretary. Rev. Long was appointed and subsequently appointed a committee to draft a constitution for the league in which the remaining offices will be created. Mrs. Frank Anthony Walker was present and briefly addressed the gathering upon the need of such an organization as was proposed among colored citizens of Norfolk, and expressed a deep interest in seeing the league formed and properly functioned, and suggested by her ten years ago when she addressed an audience of colored people at Bank Street Baptist Church, and it was a pleasing coincident, she said, that the first organization of its kind should have the pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church as its first president. practically every church, fraternal organization and social club in the city had been invited to have representation at Tuesday night's meeting and several compiled. The object of the Civic and Welfare League as briefly set forth is to serve as a medium of public expression on important civic matters as particularly related to the welfare of the colored people of New York. This book also highlights of having representatives at meetings of the city council from time to time to urge upon that body action upon certain civic matters that will benefit our group in the city. The league further proposes to strive at all times to foster the most amicable racial relations and to arouse interest in matters relevant to the general welfare of all the people of Norfolk. The committee on nominations was composed of William M. Rich, chairman; P. M. Thompson, Geo. Ward, C. M. Long, Robert C. Smith, R. J. Mathews, W. L. Davis. The committee to draft a constitution was appointed as follows: D. James D. C. A. Palmer, W. W. Foreman, S. F. Coppage and Mrs. J. Riley Dunge. C. H.

Business Men of Broadway Hear Race Lecturer (Continued from Page 1.) of the New York Telephone and Telegraph Company, was speaking to an audience larger than any which was ever addressed by any black man before, on the proper relations that should exist between "The Negro and The Nation." That man, Dr. Hubert H. Harrison on behalf of the New York Board of Education, through WEAF, the most powerful raid broadcasting station in the East. Concerts and addresses broadcasted by this station have been heard across the Atlantic in England and are heard moreove than any other sand and pepper. This is the first time that a colored man has had this high honor paid to him. JOURNALISTIC CONTRIBUTOR His indoor work is equally notable. He is always to be found at the dinners of the Sunrise Club, a group of about 500 white intellectuals, and is one of the two members who are always called upon to speak, no matter what the subject may be. At a recent dinner to a famous New York publisher given at the Brevorev, the exclusive French hive, it is like Heywood Brown, H. L. Mencken, Theodore Dreiser, and Ludwig Lewison left their tables to crowd around that of this distinguished black man for the pleasure of his interesting conversation. Dr. Harrison expects to go to Chicago next week to conduct outdoor forums and to fill lecture engagements at some of the big colored churches, clubs and associations. He intends to be here until he returns. He must return to New York to begin his work on the Board of Education's lecture program. He is the author of three well-known works: "The Negro and the Nation," "When Africa Awakes," and "Natural Health": and he writes book-reviews and literary criticisms for The Times, the New York Post, the Tribune," the "Evening Post," and the "Nation" Jones May Not Get Chance To Head Hospital Jones May Not Get Chance To Head Hospital (Continued from Page 1.) treatment of neuropsychiatric and tubercular patients is concerned. NEGRO AGITATORS AT WORK The decision of General Hines to make a personal investigation of the opposition to the manning of this hospital entirely by Negroes and to discuss the plans of the busing project is attributed essentially to renewed agitation by the white people in the Tuskegee community, supposedly resulting from the publication of a letter from the director to the President, in which it was stated that a complete Negro personnel would soon be put in charge of the hospital. However, from very reliable sources comes the information that the white demagogs of Alabama were incited to renew activities and to increase staff in this instance by Negroes, who were actuated by selfish motives—and this accusation is directed against neither the Moton nor the Johnson group. It is alleged that a telegram was sent by Necroes to State Senator R. K. Powell, who lives in the Tuskegee district, stating that the making of a former service man commissioner charge of this hospital would be mistake because of his military inclinations and training and would result in armed opposition to the whites. CONFER AT HEFLIN'S OFFICE A group of Necroes also held a conference at the office of Senator Thomas Hefflin, presumably with his secretary, which resulted in the conference in the bama, between Senator Hefflin, Governor Brandon and a committee of white people from Tuskegee The animus behind the actions of these Negroes is the defeat of Dr. T. Edward Jones, whom they learned had been virtually agreed upon as the commanding officer. Dr. Jones is, an overseas veteran, and these men were actuated by the belief that if the Veterans' Bureau could be persuaded that the appointment of an ex-service man was unwise, the selection of one of their number, who is not a veteran, would follow as a matter of course. Death Claims Rev. Marshall Land (Continued from Page 1.) in those days when his residence sat in the county and many of the teachers owed their appointments to Rev. Land's influence. An impressive echo from those days when Negroes were in the Norfolk county in the appearance of Lawyer R. H. Bagley, Portsmouth, at the funeral of Rev. Marshall Land. Lawyer Bagby was, too, one time a power in county politics. OUR THANKS! Last week we mailed letters to our correspondents requesting that they mail news letters on Friday as a matter of co-operating with us in our efforts to have the paper delivered in the Virginia and North Carolina towns on Friday-morning or afternoon, instead of Saturday as has been largely the case in the past. Numerous requests by our readers for the paper earlier in the week and in order to allow our agents more time to dispose of the papers prompted us to do this. The majority of our correspondents cheerfully complied with our request, which is gratifying evidence of the spirit of co-operation that exists between the Journal and Guide and its representatives, and for which we are thankful. Thanking you, again for rendering us this valuable aid in this particular instance and for all your past considerations, with a cheerful hope of having your continued cooperation, the judge will continue efforts, give you the greatest Southern Weekly and to give it to you on time. —Publishers Rev.

Home of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. Bankers' Fire, Knights of King David, Amey's Anvil Hosiery. insurance, had been unable to get financial backing sufficient to enter this line of business. As a result all of the fire insurance business had been done by white companies and through white agencies as AFro-Americans had not been able to obtain agencies from white companies. Two years ago Durham was among whom were Prof. W. G. Pearson, C. G. Spaulding, W. Gomez, J. M. Avery, got together and determined to raise the capital with which to launch a fire insurance company and chartered the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company of Durham. Few concerns have made such a remarkable showing in a short period of time. The growth of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company has been phased out from its very beginning. Its officers accomplished a wonderful achievement and they have organized and trained their working forces, local and otherwise, that they are now on a par with the best organized fire insurance forces in the country. This fact has been attested by the writers and commissioners in the various states where the company is operating. So accurate have been their business methods that they are now operating in co-operation with some of the companies in the country, and their instruments and adjustments are generally accepted by the underwriters and these companies. Mr. W. Gomez secretary-manager of the company, and Mr. L. Wilohe, auditor, are the active directing heads of the organization, and, were they not capable and highly efficient, the company could not have made such rapid strides. They are now capable and highly efficient, the company could have more than $6,000,000 insurance in force. Entering Virginia in May the insuring public and insurance agencies of that state have for the first time been given the facilities and service of an Afro-American fire insurance company. Agencies have been established in Norfolk, Newport News, Hampton, Petersburg, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Danville and already an enormous volume of business is beginning to pour into the home fire service of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company has established a high record in the payment of claims. There has not been a single complaint registered against the company for a moment's delay. It was the first company on the scene of the Newbern fire and the first to come to the rescue of the fire victims. The officers of the company are: W. G. Pearson, president; C. C. Spaulding, vice-president; W. G. A. Gomez, secretary-manager; J. J. Strong, vice-president; M. A. G. insistant secretary; J. M. A. Avery, treasurer and F. W. Wilhoite, auditor. One could not complete an observation of Negro business in Durham and neglect to observe the activity of one of the strongest Afro-American fraternal societies, Prof. W. G. Pearson, who also has charge of the fiduciary department of the State Grand Lodge of Masons, is supreme grand secretary of the Royal Knights of King Davy and of the Masons of the story office building on Payetteville street, and which, aside from housing the order is occupied by a number of other business concerns. The order has a membership of more than thirty-seven thousand and paid out $35,000 in death claims during the past year. Mr. J. L. Pearson, who is the active directing head of the order, is one of Durham's most progressive business men and deserves a large measure of credit for the substantial growth of the Royal Knights.

C., without being inspired by the marvelous banes among Afro-Americans in this city. Many and varied are the enterprises successfully conducted here by race men and women. Durham is truly an exception to the rule when compared with other cities throughout the country in this respect. This correspondent is spending one day and night here and while observing them, he and scrutinizing he could not possibly observe all of the interesting things about Afro-Americans in this city. North Carolina as a whole is a mighty interesting State. It has thriving industries throughout its length and breadth, the best schools and the best roads of any country, and the best most in the prosperity and contentment of all of its citizens. North Carolina is suffering least of all of the Southern States from migration, because nowhere in all the Southland are race relations more amicable and whenever there is a possible cause for friction between races, people come together in conference and work out the differences satisfactorily to all concerned. A MODERN OFFICE BUILDING Afro-American business people in Durham are truly modern. They believe in the highest efficiency and they know that this cannot be obtained without modern facilities. The six-story North Carolina Mutual office building on Parish street is a marvel in its construction and its architectural design beautiful, its facilities and arrangement equal those of the most modern structures of its kind. On the first floor is located the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, a bulwark in the business life of the city and one of the strongest financial institutions of the race, in charge of Mr. McDowell cashier, ably assisted by Mr. Parish, the third floor, and fifth floors are the offices of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, owners of the building—a beehive of business activity. The sixth floor contains a cafeteria, baths, recreation rooms, etc., for the occupants of the building, numbering in the neighborhood of two hundred. The basement contains the stock room in charge of the office, affable and congenial gentleman, whose services have proved a valuable asset to the company. Mr. C. C. Spaulding, now president of the company, with the cooperation of his co-workers, has built a wonderful business organization, that can be handed through the generations. This cannot be said of Afro-American business concerns. Next to Mr. Spaulding, Mr. Avery, now secretary of the company, serves a large measure of the credit. Mr. Ed. Merrick, son of the late founder and president of the company, and who has inherited many of the fine qualities of his father, is one of the company's distinguishing geniuses in the capacity of treasurer. THE BANKERS' FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY Notable has been the success of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, the general offices of which occupy the entire second floor of the North Carolina Mutual Building.

Lightning Caprices Kill Boy And Mule Suddenly Flashes From a Clear Sky On a Hot and Sultry Day. Madison, N. C., June 3—Lightning coming apparently out of a clear sky on a hot and sultry day mystifying freak here last week that curried tragedy in its wake and struck terror and consternation in this quiet little town. Little Early Mitchell 16 year old boy is dead, his two playmates, Austin Kendricks and J. L. Kendricks are recovering from paralytic shocks of the feet and legs, a mule is dead and other minor damages done as a result of the inexplicable caprices of the lightning bolt. Five boys, John Lee Mitchell, Early Mitchell, Jesse Alston and J. L. Kendricks had gathered at the barnyard of Hardin Kendricks. The youths were planning a swimming trip to seek relief from the heat of the day. John Lee Mitchell was sitting in a farm wagon. Early Mitchell was leaning against a steel tired wheel of the wagon, and the Kendricks boys were standing close by. In a stable a few feet away was standing a mule munching fodder. Without warning and with death dealing fury lightning flashed, John Lee Mitchell received a paralyzing blow on the bottom of his feet. One glance and he saw his brother throw up his hands and fall to the ground. When he struggled to his feet the Kendricks boys were wishing on the ground while Early Mitchell lay still. Pandimorium reigned! Women screamed. The boys reeled and all as if drunk. A son-in-law of Hardin Kendricks ran to a neighbor's home exclaiming, "They're dead! They're dead!" and calling for help, then he grabbed the body of his brother and carried for his home 300 yards away. Struggling with the limp form of his brother he met his mother, who had been attracted to the scene by the neighbors' screams. The inert form of her son was placed on the ground and an examination showed that life had moved a muscle since his brother saw him throw up his hands and fall to the ground. When Austin Kendricks saw John Lee Mitchell pick up his brother, he tried to aid him but couldn't. Such excruciating pain seized him in the feet and legs that he could not stand. Austin's two brothers were in nearly as bad a fix Neith Kendricks and step brother could not comminutes. A place the size of a man's hand was burned in Austin's leg, where the sock supporter fastens. The other boy was schocked. The lightning appeared to have first struck a tree, jumping from the tree to the wagon and from the wagon to the stable. The mule in the stable was killed and the trough he was eating from was splintered, but the building was not ignited. The tongue of the wagon on which John Lee was jitting was split open as was the breast tree. An inner tube in the casing of a wagon was found nearby and was torn to shreds, but neither the casing nor the car was damaged. Early Mitchell's cap was torn and his face and head were scorched. There were burns on his body. His clothes were neither torn nor burned.

HOWARD FALLS HEIR TO $500,000 FUND Only $3,060 Needed in Subscriptions to Meet Requirements of Conditional Gift. Washington, D. C., June 28.—Howard University has fallen heir to the largest endowment in the history of its medical school. The amount is $500,000, half of which is pledged by the General Education Board of New York City, providing the University raises a similar sum through public subscription by July 1st. Three more letters were sent to collect the pledges so that the entire sum will be available by July 1, 1926. At the Interior Department it was stated that $246,940 of the Howard University's share of the $500,000 had been raised up to date and that it was only necessary to obtain $3,060 in additional subscriptions during the next thirteen months to obtain the full amount. Officials said that there would be no difficulty in securing pledges for this sum. Twenty-two hundred pledges include the contributions to the University. One of them is for $10,000 from a colored philanthropist and there are sixty-eight pledges from friends of $1,000 each, many of whom are residents of the District of Columbia. Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials "NO-ROOM IN THE TEACHING PROFESSION FOR ONE WHOSE MIND IS FIXED ON MONEY" Dr. Gregg Tells Teachers Attending Summer Normal At Hampton Institute.—Loyalty and Devotion Must Dominate. (By WM. ANTONY ABRY) Hampton, Va. July 3—Virginia with an enrollment of 256 colorate teachers (221 women and 35 men), is the banner state in the Hampton Institute Summer Session for Teachers, according to Dr. George P. Phoenix, vice principal of Hampton and director of the summer school. North Carolina comes second, with an enrollment of 214 (189 women and 25 men). The total enrollment for the first half, which will close on July 27, is now 697, distributed as follows: Alabama, 6; Arkansas, 12; Delaware, 12; Florida, 14; Georgia, 13; Kentucky, 26; Louisiana, 14; Maryland, 35; Mississippi, 14; New Jersey, 2; North Carolina, 24; Ohio, 1; Oklahoma, 6; Pennsylvania, 1; South Carolina, 35; Tennessee, 14; Texas, 1; Virginia, 256; West Virginia, 7; Illinois, 14; Summer School there are representatives from 19 states—585 women and 112 men. The second half will begin on July 30 and continue through August 31. During the twelve-week session Hampton expects to reach 1000 teachers. This summer school is conducted under the auspices of the State Board of Education and the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. Teaching: a Public Service Principal J. E. Gregg in his recent address of welcome to the visiting teachers expressed his satisfaction in the quality of students represented at this summer session. Doctor Gregg spoke on the importance of teaching. He indicated the work which others are doing in lifting the levels of thought and living among men and women everywhere. "We must have," he said, "in our teaching a background of reverence and loyalty and devotion to the most ideal deals that men and women need, ideals to put our work in its proper place and to keep it there. "There is no room in the teaching profession for the man or woman whose mind is fixed primarily on money or primarily on selfish advantages. The sooner they get out of teaching the better for themselves, their schools, and the children with whom they have to do." "There is not any work in the world more interesting, more hopeful, more rewarding, more delightful, more difficult, more honorable, more glorious than the work of teaching." Sixty Jeanes teachers, who are doing industrial supervision work in Southern States, form part of the Summer School, which has been organized to provide instruction for high-school teachers, county-training-school teachers, supervisors, home-economics teachers, physical-education teachers, and elementary teachers. BUSINESS OUTLOOK Chicago, IL, July 8—Mr. Albion L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, recent visitor in Chicago, declared that the outlook among Negro business men throughout the country was unusually promising. "Banks, insurance companies, and all lines making substantial progress, whilst incesses are being started, according to the reports coming to us," he said. While here, he conferred with various business men regarding the coming session of the League in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and discussed greater participation by Chicagoans. David McGowan, well known business man; Robert S. McGowan; Robert P. pomattox; Phil A. Jones and Wm. R. Cowan are joining hands to foster a business man's monthly luncheon club which will be affiliated with the league. THE parlor of the Montgomery home was the social salon of the better class of colored people in Nortonville. the better class of cooped people in Nortonville. Among the most frequent visitors was Jerry Carlton, guard and doorman at the Nortonville Bank. Jerry was not only one of the institutions of the bank, but of the town. Everyone, young and old, loved and respected him. After forty-one years at the single bank in the town, he knew the financial affairs of almost regular resident. On the evening of that same day in which Lucille had left Prof. Bruce's home almost in despair Jerry had dropped in at the Montgomerys. After placing a record on the Victoria he had come and sat down by Lucille. "I see that Breckenridge won the Stanton prize after all," he remarked. I see that Breckenridge won the Scanton prize after all, he remarked. "Ye-es" answered Lucille mechanically, preoccupied with the thoughts that mention of the prize had evoked. His next remark caused her to sit up, however. Jerry continued: "And he paid it all out to one man. He—" "Paid it all to one man?" interrupted Lucille curiously. "Who is the man?" "Prof, McLean."/ "Prof, McLean?" she echoed, all her suspicions immediately awake. McLean, she remembered, was the one who had testified that he had entered the Bruce's home with Prof. Bruce to find Mrs. Bruce dead Bruce, to find Mrs. Bruce dead "Yes, Prof. McLean," repeated Jerry, "he cashed the $1,500 prize at the bank to pay the check was indorsed by Brecken- ridge. Prof. McLean hasn't an account with us, so the cashier asked him how he came to get it and ——" "And what did he say?' demanded Lucille eagerly. "He said that he had received it for services rendered by Brecken-ridge. I was standing by the wicket at the time." "Didn't he say what he had done for Brecken-ridge?" "No. But it was Breckenridge's signature all right and he got the cash." "That 'queer," ruminated Lucile, ever, on the abet for some new clue. Why should Breckenridge have paid him all the prizes money? she asked herself. She remembered having seen McLennan and Breckenridge together many times. McLennan, she also recalled, had been a professor at the school. He had said that it was his first time on a witness stand, but he had not been a professor at the university and accustomed to addressing large audiences? "Jerry," she said aloud, "you don't mention this to any one else I have a room." He arrose, put on her hat, and started for Breckenridge's apartment. Artrying there she saw the colored chairman standing on the floor. "In Mr. Breckenridge mistakes?" she asked. The doorman eyed her suspiciously from hand to foot. "No," he replied tertly. "He's gone away." Laille ignored his attitude. "I wanted some information," she said with a shrug. "Would you mind oblige me?" After some trouble she finally learned from him that McLean used to help Breckenridge with his studies. "He used to come here four evenings a week," explained the man. He returned home, her brain in a whirl. Early next morning she called on Lieut. Childs and told him his suspicions. "I happen to know Prof. McLean well," said the lieutenant. "I don't think he knows any more than what he said on the stand. Mr. Breckenridge said anything suspicious about his guilt all the prize to him. I don't see anything wrong, do you?" "But, lieutenant," pleaded Lancile. "As I told you, Mr. Breckenridge acted so suspiciously the day Mrs. Walton and I called on him. Then, there's the matter of the pencil found on Prof. Bruce's desk. Liam, Childs lingered; I think Miss Page, you'll be suspecting me of the murder next. I was on the scene, too, you remember." "I'm not suspecting Prof McLean," replied Lancile curiously; "but do suspect Breckenridge and the two used to be together very much. Please won't you question him about it? Perhaps you may get something out of him." "All right, I'll see if Prof. McLean knows anything about it. I'll ask him, and said the lieutenant, rather weary." He called him on the phone. A feminine voice said that McLean was gone to Boston and would return on the 6:15 train. "Suppose we meet him at the station" suggested Lucile. "All right," agreed the lieutenant. When the 6:15 arrived Lucile watched eagerly for the figure of Prof. McLean among the throng that got off the train. Presently she saw him and Prof. Bruce walking together on the platform. The two were conversing earnestly. Both of the two men together arose to argue against Prof. Bruce and when Lieut. Childs started after McLean she detained him. "Let's watch them awhile," she said. Both mon got into the same cab. "Let's follow them," suggested Luceil. She and the lieutenant got into another cab, and gave the driver orders to follow: "Our first cab stopped at Prof. Bruce's home. Here the two men diamond-pointed and proceeded up the walk, still conversing intently. Luceil and the lieutenant followed. At the door they were admitted by the valet and ushered into the barroom. Prof. Bruce, and McLean were talking in the library. Luceil said the former say: "Now McLean, you know that 200,000 is an impossible figure." By J. A. ROGERS Author of "From Man to Superman" Copyright 1923 By the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service. "But," objected the other with decision, "what of the agreement?" "Did you hear that?" whispered Lucille eagerly to the lieutenant. Lieut. Childs laughed "Miss Page he said aloud, "you could to make a fine police officer. You're so suspicious of everybody and everything." Lucille was listening cagerly for the remainder of the conversation between the two men, but it was interrupted by the knock of the valet, who had gone to announce the visitors. Prof. Bruce entered. Through the open door McLean was visible. How d'yde me, Miss Page? How d'yde me, lieutenant?" said Prof. Bruce cordially. The three chattered for a few moments about Prof. Bruce's approaching departure for Europe. McLean entered. "Good evening, Bruce." "Think over what we have been talking about. I'll call you in later. So long." He started to leave the room. "By the way," Prof. McLean, said the lieutenant in a casual tone, "I'm and I saw you here. There's a little matter I've been wanding to ask you about for some time." McLean's face had suddenly blanched. He was visibly very much affected. He tried to speak, but the words apparently failed him. "In fact," continued the lieutenant in the same level tone, looking suddenly at McLean, "I followed you here. You know why, don't you?" "I—I" numbled McLean with quivering lips. The lieutenant took Breckenridge's penel from Lucile and held it out to him. "Do you happen to know this pencil?" he demanded sharply. The other hesitated. "Take it! Look at it!" McLean took it gingerly, "I've rawer—" He did not finish the sentence. He fell in a dend faint to the floor. Prof. Bruce telephoned for the doctor. Fifteen minutes later, while Melan was lying on a coach, Lieut. Childs said to Prof. Bruce and Lacie in an inquiries room. "Why, I'm beginning to believe that he knows something. Why, I was only bluffing him to satisfy Miss George. "Justly conscience," declared Lacie. "Wait," he said simultaneously, "I'll show you something." Entering the room where the doctor was bending over the stricter Melan, he took a paper from Melan's pocket and brought it back to the lieutenant. "What do you make of this?" he demanded in a strange voice. He lieutenant read the announcement. "When!" he examined, after a pause, "that's queer." "He wanted me to pay it without saying for what," explained Prof. Bruce. "I should say it needs some explanation." It was a promissory note for $200,000, bearing Mrs. Bruce's signature. The sum, the paper said, was in settlement of inestable services, and was to be paid on presentation without any questions before the seal of a military public. An hour later McLean had received sufficiently to be able to walk about. I cait. Childs faced him with the pencil and the promissory note. "Come on, professor," he urged. "I advise you to tell all you know or under the circumstances I'll have to take you to the station." McLean hesitated for a full minute. "Will you let me go home if I tell you?" he finally pleaded. "I don't promise. It all depends. All that can say is that I give you my way to do the best for you if you will do a voluntary and truthful statement." "Well," glid McLean with a sigh. "I confess all. I've been wanting to ever since that fatal night." Lucille listened breathlessly for his next words. "It was all an accident," he began eagerly. "That—that paper will prove that I'm telling the truth. He went on:" "When I assigned from the university because of a nervous breakdown I became professor genecologist. Once while tracing ancestry of a client in a large city in South Carolina, I ran accents several baptismal and marriage records that had been hidden away in an attic of the courthouse during the Civil war. On looking at the records I noticed the letters, f. f. e. and f. m. c. against the ancestors of some of the most prominent women and women of the city. Burzillar, whose these letters stood for I at last found out that they meant free female of color, and free male of color that is to say, these citizens, many of whom hold high office or were social leaders, were of Negro ancestry. The discovery created consternation, and the city council voted to burn the records unread. This they did, but not before I had heard of them. Many of those ancestors were in the documents gave me some of money to be silent." McLeen continued in an even voice. His nervousness was, all gone now: "Then I returned to Nortonville to discover that the Cobbett, Mrs. Bruce's ancestors, were mentioned in the old record I had saved. "A year ago last February James Cobbett, Mrs. Bruce's grand-uncle, died leaving his entire fortune to charity instead of to Mrs. Inglis, the legitimate heiress. Mrs. Inglis contested the will, as you know, and won. An appeal was made, but I felt sure she would win again. "Then an idea came to me. Remembering the money that I had received for surpressing those ancestries down South, I decided to impose on Mrs. Bruce, who I know would finally inherit the Cobbett millions. "Taking the old record I forged an f. f. c. before the name of Lucey Eastbourne, Mrs. Bruce's grandmother. I then showed it to Mrs. Bruce and told her that she was of Negro ancestry. For keeping the matter silent. I depended $200,000 on that promissory note. That note will prove to you that I didn't want her to die, as you will see that I could then have collected the money easily. "God, he continued remissitively, while his auditors listened in management. "how I tortured her. To make her believe me I told her that if she had any children they were likely to be born cold black and with klaky hair. Twice she would have been a mother but through fear that the child would be killed." Poor, Bruce he face lived with urge, spring at him. "You brave! You devil in the shape of a man," he shrieked choking him. The doctor and the feautenant pried him away. "I shall tell all," continued Melea learns. "How I turtles her to make her sign this paper I needed money, I am getting old. He wonders gave him some brandy. He orders gave him some brandy. He wants to help Breckenridge with his prize. He promised to give me all the prize money if I pulled him thru, Walton was in the Way. Then that Saturday evening Breckenridge told me that the examination papers were here. I wanted to make sure that he would win and—and I decided to come here and get them, had to have before—I'm the Mrs. Bruce's room that night—I was trying to make her sign the paper then. "After I had opened the papers and was copying down the questions I heard a sound and, looking up, saw Mrs. Bruce, who crept in. She ordered me away, and when I ushered she took a revolver from her. I made up my mind to get the questions, however, and tried to take the revolver from her. In the struggle it went off and killed her. There's the truth, as God is my Judge. "Why did you return?" asked the feenchant. I forgot my note-book on the desk. My coming back I saw Prue. Bruce ran away in to see Walton running away. While Prue. Bruce ran to his wife I rushed to the table and got the note-book, but forgot the pencil." "How did the hair get in Mrs. Bruce's fingers?" downward I said. Indie's fingers?" demanded Lacille. As Walton was rushing out he stumbled against me, nearly knocking me, and outtucked his hand grasped at his left, blitting out some. When I discovered the strains in my hand I placed them in her fingers to avert suspicion from my self. I meant to save Walton later, but was always afraid of inminating myself." We Breckedge know of this?" she brieved. McLeem was silent. "Come on," urged the lieutenant. "You promised to tell all." "Yes, he knew. When you asked him about the pencle, he asked me and I had to tell him. He had left the pencle on the table in his apartment when he left for the theatre. "How was it you left no fingerprints?" asked Lieut. Childs. "I were gloves." "Oh, hi! Well professor I'll have to take you to the station. You'll have to tell your story to the minister in the morning and let him decide." Lieut. Childs took his prisoner away. Liauie stayed behind. Turning to Prof. Bruce, she said: I beg to apologize most humbly for having suspected you." "Not at all, Miss Page, not at all, I desire to join in the lieutenant's praise of you. It is a very good thing that you did suspect me, or I'd never have told you of the pencle. "I also want to thank you for bringing my race prejudice into the open.

Lucille and Mrs. Walton went to meet him at the prison. "Oh, you wonderful, wonderful girl!" said John rapturously embracing Lucille again and again. He like a child, he said, bubbling like a child, he sped home on the street car. "What wonderful good it is to be free How good the people, the trees, and everything look!" Whew! but I had a narrow shave. "Lucille," he went on, "you promised to tell me how the current happened to give out at the last moment." "I will if you promise not to tell. I learned that if an iron bar were thrown against the wire, the wire would immediately cross the wire, two, five, six, elbows a tinge in Camerole. Would I throw one at it. I made several misses but, thank God, I hit it in time." That night was a night of joy at the Montgomery Scores. Scenes of visitors, some of them among the most prominent residents of the town, came to see John and to felicitate him on his narrow escape. He received many offers of help. Someone promised to finance him during the remainder of his time at the university. The next morning Lucille received a letter from Prof. Bruce. It bore the New York postmark. When she opened it, she grasped with astonishment. Taking out an enclosed slip she handed it to John. He, too, started. "We're rich," he yelled. The slip was $20,000, payable to Mr. and Mrs. John B. Wallam. "Tell John Wallam," the letter said "that I say he's the luckiest man in the world to have a girl like you." The household crowded around in congratulation. Presently Lucille said seriously: "Mr. and Mrs. John B. Walton. What does he mean?" "He means that we must be married in order to get the dough," laughed John. "But I've changed my mind about marrying," said Lucille in the same serious tone. "You should have left me in the electric chair, then," said John, hugging her. "Right and justice always win out," said Mrs. Walton fervently. "True mother," effervesced John, "but they both came mighty near slipping up this time." A week later the Nortonville Herald announced that Mr. and Mrs. John B. Walton left for Europe on their honeymoon. EDENTON Ektonon, N. C—Rev G. D.

The widow who wants a husband and says so and advertises the fact has the courage of her convictions, and we are bound to hope that she may connect with the proper sort of man, a widower in need, say, who has learned as she has, that, "it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." We hope for the Philharmonic Orchestraal Association abundant success under its charter from the American Federation of Musicians. It is the second oldest organization of its kind we have in Norfolk and it has a splendid record upon which to build. We are all musical in one way and another and love music and disposed to encourage all organized musical efforts. With his face turned toward Alaska President Harding has met and addressed many people, but the newspaper sharps who are "covering" the trip do tell us that the people do not warm to President Harding as they have warmed to other Presidents who have "sawing the circle." They are contrarywise, rather cold. Will they thaw out before the meeting of the National Republican Convention next year? President Harding hopes so. We should feel encouraged at the large and promising number of graduates from our high schools and colleges who are just now going out into the world to begin to wrestle with the intricate problems of life. We wish them success, but they will not achieve it by stopping in the acquisition of useful knowledge where they left off in the school room. They must learn by actual experience how to apply the learning of the school room to the requirements of everyday life, and those who do so most conscientiously are the ones who make the greatest success. No person ever gets through learning, and he should never get through studying until his work of life has been finished. Hearst and The Ford Boom Henry Ford selected William Randolph as the friend who should announce willingness to stand for the Presidency when the Jews got after Mr. Hearst. He had been pronounced against Mr. Ford, antagonism to them, Mr. Hearst pronounced, then sidestepped, and then got under the Ford Presidential band wagon. Ford got so confused that he found the say out was to declare that he was not candidate for the Presidency and would accept the nomination if it came to him. We do not believe that Henry Ford is the running for the Presidential nomination; he is still willing as Barkis was, but tangled up with William Randolph he put a monkey wrench into his pants which may blast them. He placed last in the wrong sort of man for friend, jumped, out of which he will find it hard himself. Moral: He is a wise man who knows ends. Henry Ford selected William Randolph Hearst as the friend who should announce his willingness to stand for the Presidency. When the Jews got after Mr. Hearst, who had been pronounced against Mr. Ford for his antagonism to them, Mr. Hearst promptly hedged, then sidestepped, and then got from under the Ford Presidential band wagon. Mr. Ford got so confused that he found the safest way out was to declare that he was not a candidate for the Presidency and would not accept the nomination if it came to him. We do not believe that Henry Ford is out of the running for the Presidential nomination; he is still willing as Barkis was, but in getting tangled up with William Randolph Hearst he put a monkey wrench into his prospects which may blast them. He placed his trust in the wrong sort of man for friend and slumped, out of which he will find it hard to get himself. Moral: He is a wise man who knows his friends. Playgrounds a Good Investment The City of Norfolk cannot make a better investment than to encourage the playground movement which the JOURNAL AND GUIDE recently called attention of the authorities too. A community, no matter what its advantages are, that does not provide for recreation for the children is now regarded as backward indeed. It is an incentive to health as well as a preventive to life and injury. With the children in the playgrounds, the danger of injury by automobiles and vehicles is minimized and no time should be lost in debating the necessity of one of the modern features of every progressive city. The City of Norfolk has only one street shower for colored children, this being located at Washington avenue and O'Keefe street, while thousands of children in the other sections have not this blessing. It is the community's duty to provide safety and comfort for the citizens of tomorrow, and we know of no investment bringing better profit. We have established a community center for the young men and women, but the children have been sadly neglected. It is time that the movement receive the consideration to which it is entitled. The Civic League and other organizations should urge upon the authorities the immediate installation of playgrounds and street showers in different parts of the city. The output's small but the income in health, happiness and comfort cannot be fully esti- Editorial Page of Norfolk Journal and Guide "The Irrepressible Conflict" The feudists in the mountain fastness of West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, what may be termed an "irrepressible fact" among themselves, such as the City have over the other side of the Atlantic often fetch into the United States. They go on from sire to son. There is no it except with the destruction of the root branch of the families concerned. It is theical of the lowest form of barbaric ignition of course, but it is a thing to be reckoned. The New York Evening Post has the feeling to say, which is of general interest to the readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE, but the basis of it came out of a condition will always be crucially historical for the says: "Mr. Harding's assertion at St. Louis, "the League is as dead as slavery" must aroused widespread doubts not only as the truth of the statement but as to the archeology of the comparison. Memory, going back the stirring days of the battle over slavery does not recall that the death metaphor much employed by the opponents of the servitude. On the contrary, it was the fenders of the peculiar institution who always declaring that slavery was a deceive. They hailed every compromise and work settlement in the long struggle by the Civil War as marking the 'death' of opposition to slavery. And it was from other side that the challenge came. It is in the form of an assertion of an "irrepressible conflict" that must be settled definitely, completely one way or the other. We do not think the League of Nations any means dead; we believe that the Council of International Arbitration into which itident Harding wants the United States to as a positive force is only an evasion of question of membership in the League of Nations, and that, if the Court is a good fit for us the League should be equally given with the cutting out of the article Ten such modifications of it as will not constrain us to become up in the domestic air of Europe or allow of them becoming up in ours. The questions of international peace are living questions. Like those going out of slavery they are so far from being dead that they are yet in process of sediment, and is very far from being set. Especially is this true of the questions going out of slavery; abolition of slavery has been the first and necessary step. But Patient Harding has never shown that he appreciates this side of the matter to be the sting point in dealing with those questions. More is the pity. He appears to look at the questions from the same angle as he does growing out of the World War. Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.)

But how about his request to serve his sentence at Leavenworth instead of Atlanta? The feudists in the mountain fastnesses of West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee have what may be termed an "irrepressible conflict" among themselves, such as the Cicilians have over the other side of the Atlantic, and often fetch into the United States. The feud goes on from sire to son. There is no end of it except with the destruction of the root and branch of the families concerned. It is typical of the lowest form of barbaric ignorance, of course, but it is a thing to be reckoned with. The New York Evening Post has the following to say, which is of general interest to the readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE, because the basis of it came out of a condition which will always be crucially historical for them; it says: "Mr. Harding's assertion at St. Louise that "the League is as dead as slavery" must have aroused widespread doubts not only as to the truth of the statement but as to the aptness of the comparison. Memory, going back to the stirring days of the battle over slavery, does not recall that the death metaphor was much employed by the opponents of Negro servitude. On the contrary, it was the defenders of the peculiar institution who were always declaring that slavery was a dead issue. They hailed every compromise and patchwork settlement in the long struggle before the Civil War as marking the 'death' of the opposition to slavery. And it was from the other side that the challenge came. It came in the form of an assertion of an 'irrepressible conflict' that must be settled definitely and completely one way or the other." We do not think the League of Nations by any means dead; we believe that the Court of International Arbitration into which President Harding wants the United States to get as a positive force is only an evasion of the question of membership in the League of Nations, and that, if the Court is a good thing for us the League should be equally good with the cutting out of the article Ten, or such modifications of it as will not constrain us to become mixed up in the domestic affairs of Europe or allow of them being mixed up in ours. The questions of international peace are living questions. Like those growing out of slavery they are so far from being dead that they are yet in process of settlement, and is very far from being settled. Especially is this true of the questions growing out of slavery; abolition of slavery having been the first and necessary step.

Duffus, writing in the July number of the World's Work, under the head of "Counter-Mining the Ku Klux Klan," tells a story that should be read with pride by every southerner. It begins with this significant paragraph: feud and the number of the World's Work, under the a story that should be read with poverty southerner. It begins with this fleant paragraph: While Colonel Simmons "institute chiefly, justice and patriotism" was a long-slimp through the south in 1920 and 1921, he instantiated Americans, without ritual, robes or hoeus of any kind, was quietly to work. This was the Commission Inter-Racial Co-operation. No accord contemporary conditions in the south, be fair if it mentioned the klan, and if the inter-racial movement, for if the flea's a dark and hopeless side of so- nglo-Saxonoid, the second shows how that promise of dem progress it contains. Then follows the story of four peo- cessant and devoted labor on the part of of the most distinguished men in the so- whites and five Negroes, who are sti- first, to remove causes of conflict between races, and second, where friction has a developed, to that justice is done, less of whether the burden falls upon or black. Mr. Duffus notes that this ment, like the klan, grew out of the Anglo-Saxonoid, the second shows how that created the clan, and to the east the south from inaccessible horrors critical years of 1919 and 1920. The object of the work is admirable in a quotation from one of the co- mmercial field secretaries: The work of the co-operative com- munity is not for colored people, but work colored people for community betterment is not an effort to elevate the Negro, in a special type of activity from general lines of service. It is merely a operation, whose job will be to stimulate unity institutions for all the people, a ideal justly with the Negro. The story of its solid accomplish- ment follows is well forth the serious tion of every thoughtful southern heartening. It furnishes an effective an- tio to the poisons of disgust and despair that generated by the propaganda of bigotry hate. Unfortunately the work of the com- munity is neither swift nor spectacular. It is solidly and solid construction is neces- sely slow work. It has no specific for the Problem. All that it hopes to secure for a square deal—justice in the courts, protection from economic sharks who wi- chest him out of the proceeds of his There is nothing spectacular in that pro- tection. On the other hand, it demands of the Not merely conformity to the law person, but refusal to contemnance crime or to he criminals of his own race. That requires fidence on the part of the Negro which re- history has done little to develop. Nevertheless, little by little, the work on and with its progress race relations in south improve. The pity of it is that not better known. A Leading Southern Man's View on Negro Migration Question While Colonel Simmons "institution of chivalry, justice and patriotism" was spreading like smallpox through the south in 1919 and 1920 another organization of native Protestant Americans, without virtual, robes, masks or hocus pocus of any kind, was quietly set aside by the Commission on Inter-faith Cooperation. No more contemporary conditions in the south would be fair if it mentioned the klan, and ignored the inter-racial movement. For if the first reveals a dark and hopeless side of southern Anglo-Saxonoid, the second shows how sound it is at heart, and what promise of democratic progress it contains. Then follows the story of four year's ingestion and devoted labor on the part of six of the white men born in the south, 55 whites and five Negroes, and first, to remove causes of conflict between the races, and second, where friction has already developed, to see that justice is done, regardless of whether the burden falls upon white or black. D. Muffus notes that this movement, like the klan, grew out of conditions that created it—he attributes the escape of the south from inexorable horrors in the critical years of 1919 and 1920. The object of the work is admirably stated in a quotation from one of the commission's field secretaries: The work of these co-operative committees is not work for colored people, but work with colored people for community betterment. It involves a special type of collaboration, general lines of service. It is merely an effort to build a definite co-operative organization, whose job it will be to stimulate community institutions for all the people, and to deal justly with the Negro. The story of its solid accomplishments which follows is well forth the serious attention of every thoughtful southerner. It is menacing. It furnishes an effective antidote to the poisons of disgust and despair that are generated by the propaganda of bigotry and hate. Unfortunately the work of the commission is neither swift nor spectacular. It is building solidly and solid construction is necessarily slow work. It has no specific for the Negro problem. All that it hopes to secure for him is a square deal—justice in the courts, and protection from economic sharks who would attack the work of the commission. There is nothing spectacular in that program to appeal to impetuous and impatient whites. On the other hand, it demands of the Negro not merely conformity to the law personally but refusal to contemnance crime or to harbor criminals of his own race. That requires confidence on the part of the Negro which recent legislation has helped to delimit. Nevertheless little by little the work goes on and with its progress race relations in the south improve. The pity of it is that it is not better known. A Leading Southern Man's View on the Negro Migration Question From the Manufacturer Record from the Madhassar Record. from the lawyers of Florida, Mr P, O. Knight of Tampa, who is at the same time a broad business man, interested in many lines of large activities in the South and the North, in a letter to the MANUFACTURERS Record, save: One of the foremost lawyers of Florida, P. O. Knight, of Tampa, who is at same time a broad business man, interesting many lines of large activities in the South and the North, in a letter to the MANU TURERS RECORD, says: "The colored people of Tampa, approvative of the little efforts that I am making their behalf, asked me to talk to them nightly, pampered by which the colored population of Tampa was divided. Oldest church was very teaching to me. No third of them could get into the building. "I regret that I did not have a stenogram or present so that I could give you a copy what I really said. As usual, I talked with having prepared a written address. I spent very rapidly, and the reporters present, not short-hand writers and they quoted me before them." "I talked, of course, to the colored people along lines different from what I have to tell talked. I tried to make them satisfied with their conditions by telling them that South offered better opportunities than North and that the best friend they had in the Southern man and woman and that they were the factors and not the location, and that the South makes up for it and those things it will, as I have repeatedly said, have terrific awakening. The colored man very much more intelligent than the white man think they are and the white man want to cooperate and have common sense. They not want social equality. What they want equiviolet opportunity, as that they are in the schools, their churches, and they show have better houses to live in and better work conditions. The fact that the Southern man knows that he is the friend of the colored man makes him indifferent to the wants, because he takes it as a matter of course; but he is not going to keep him unless he manifests in some practical way the interest that he has in him. I want the South man to be involved in the South could double in population during the next five years at the expense of having the horde of maracistic, socialistic, foreign labor throughout the South that is now distributed in the various industrial centers of the North, I would rather it would not increase in population oneota. "Recently, I walked from the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York City to 129 Broadway, for a visit. While I was there I did not see one American citizen of people that I met. I do not want that condition of affairs in the South. Besides that, the Southern people do not know how to handle white labor, and especially the sort of foreign labor that is now scattered throughout the East, the North, and the West. "Keep up your good work and arouse the interest among the whites in the South that you. You cannot perform any great work." Marcus Garvey's End "The colored people of Tampa, appreciative of the little efforts that I am making in their behalf, asked me to talk to them last night. The manner in which the colored population of Tampa decked to the colored Methodist church was very touching to me. Not a third of them could get into the building, I did not have any opportunity present so that I could give you a copy of what I really said. As usual, I talked without having prepared a written address. I speak very rapidly, and the reporters present were not short-hand writers and they quoted me as best they could. "I talked, of course, to the colored people along lines different from what I have here-too talked. I tried to make them satisfied with those comments by telling them that the colored officers offered me a position North and that the best friend they was the Southern man and woman and that they were the fictors and the notorious." "While all this is true, I insist that unless the South wakes up and does those things that it is necessary for it to do for its own protection it will, as I have repeatedly said, have a terrific awakening. The colored people are very much more intelligent than the whites think they are, and they are naturally conservative and have common sense. They do not work social equality, that is why want is not the reason for them, and that they are titled. To we do not need enough attention to their schools, their churches, and they should have better houses to live in and better working conditions. The very fact that the Southern man knows that he is the friend of the colored man makes him indifferent to their wants, because he takes it as a matter of course; but he is not going to keep him here unless he manifests in some practical way the interest that he has in him. I want the South to remain as it is—pure Americans and blacks. If the South could double in population during the next five years at the expense of having the horde of unreliable socialism, foreign capital and labor would be attributed in the various industrial centers of the North, I would rather it would not increase in population one tota. "Recently, I walked from the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York City to 120 Broadway, four miles, just to look at the faces of the people I did not see one American face out of twenty people that I met. I do not want that condition. Southern people do not know how to handle white labor, and especially the sort of foreign labor that is now scattered throughout the East, the North, and the West. "Keep up your good work and arouse all the interest among the whites in the South that you want. You cannot perform any greater work." From The Afro-American Baltimore, 1911 With the sentencing of Marceus Carvey to five years in the Federal prison the curtain is rung down on what might be termed the greatest comic-tragedy ever enacted in Negro life. Both hisses and applause will greet the veracity of a honour of broken suspension will circle the globe. With the sentencing of Marcus Carvey to five years in the Federal prison the curtain is rung down on what might be termed the greatest comic-tragedy ever enacted in Negro life. Both hisses and applause will greet the verdict and a tremor of broken suspense will circle the globe. The tragedy of the case lies not in the fate of Carvey, but in that of the thousand of submerged and struggling human beings whose faith will be shaken again by this fuse of Negro leadership. They accepted him as The tragedy of the case lies not in the fate of Garvey, but in that of the thousands whose faith will be shaken by this misguided leadership. They, accepted him, as their Moses, but he dropped his rod and allowed them to be swallowed by a red sea of financial chaos. Denied active participation in the governments of the lands in which they live, it was easy for this master of buffoonery to attract them with high-sounding tinkering, taking cheap empy honors. They piloted their hard-earned money at his feet until it mounted into a million. This he squandered and paid his high-salaried "bought and paid for" boosters. It is tragic for Garvey, but for this submerged group it is more than tragic. The one significant ray of light shining through the clouds is the fact that it is possible for a Negro steamship company and other projects and that some day a capable, trained and honest man will stand at the helm. Inevitable Africa Slowly, but ever surely, the sons and daughters of Ham are creeping into the calcium and making a noise like a race once worthwhile. Old King Toot, for instance, bobbed up at a most inconvenient time. Klings and Klans had just about persuaded everybody that the Negro never was anything, and anything more important to be made. Then Caravon and Carter burst into the tomb of Kings and discovered King Toot. There was plenty of newspaper noise for a moment. Then silence! Have you ever wondered why? The truth is that folks wanted to know too much. They wanted to know just what Mr. Toots looked like. It would never have done to say that Toot was the color of unblemished coat. Ye white folk couldn't afford it. So out went the high sign to put on the soft pedal, whisper low sweet chariot and lock up brother Toot for a year or so. But Toot was only one black face out of a million. A white face in Toot's time was as scarce as a dimpled daisy in December. But the truth come out. It won't hurt anybody. It may give a gentle job to history, but the old girl can stare him. She has stood worse than that in her sweet young life. In fact, things may seem a little more home-like than me. She knows that when it comes to claiming a place in the sun, old Africa staked the first homesite. Here was the sh god, and the moon god, and all the little gods. The time is here. Africa is holding a royal flush. 8. Who was Samuel Coleridge-Taylor? Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, one of the greatest musicians the world has ever seen, was born in Holborn, England, August 15th, 1875. His father was a native of Siena Leone, Africa, and his mother of English parentage. At the age of 15 years, Samuel showed genius, and only rose to fame, many of his works were composed when he was only 9 years old being used by world famous orchestras on day. As a choir boy, he so far excelled his companions as a soloist and violinist that he attracted the attention of England's most noted musicians. Capturing many scholarships, he graduated from the Royal College of Music, became an instructor in Croydon Conservatory, and was director of the Hammond Orchestra. His most famous work, the Digest Feast, is admitted the "jewel of musical history." He died in 1912. 9. What are the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? The Pyramid of Cheops, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the gold and ivory statue of Zeus, the Temple of Diana at Ipheus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Celsius at Rhodes, and the Pharos (Light house) at Alexandria, Egypt; all of which were largely constructed by Negro master mechanics and laborers. 10. Who seized the Confederate dispatch boat "Planter" in 1882? On May 15th, 1852, the Confederate steamboat, Planter, the special dispatch boat of Gen. Ripley, the postcommander at Charleston, S. C. was taken by Robert Smalls from the wharf at which she was lying, carried safely out of Charleston Harbor, and delivered to one of the Federal fleet then blockading that port. 11. What is the first clause of the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States? Art. XIV. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall bridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States nor shall any State deprive or injure any citizen of property, without due procedure, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

People who take pains to speak correctly find it difficult to understand why so many and each comma mistakes occur in the speech of those about them. It seems remarkable that one will build his house as he sees others build theirs, he will dress as he sees others dress, while it never occurs to him to talk as he hears others talk. A goon drule for a lot of us to observe is to listen attentively to those who are supposed to speak correctly and to compare our speech with theirs. If we notice that we differ, we ought to be admonished that one of us is speaking with pronunciation, the dictionary will settle it. If it is a matter of construction, look it up in the grammar. Examples of mispronunciation occur in the words, labor, neighbor, creator, and educator, in which the o in the last syllable is commonly given the sound of o in orb, and a in all, when it should be given the sound of e in soler. It is quite common to hear such words as vine, valley, and vinegar pronounced as if they began with w. If those who commit this error would place their upper teeth upon their lower lips, they would find it far easier to avoid it than to make it. Rout and route are sometimes confused. In rout, the ou has the sound of o in rout. The word is commonly a verb, and means to put to flight. In route, the ou has the sound of o in shoot. The word is a noun, and means a road or path. A very frequent confusion of terms occurs in the use of the words, Calvary, the mount on which Christ was crucified, and cavalry, a body of mounted soldiers. Careless speakers invariably give the latter the pronunciation of the former. In formidable, the accent is on the first, and not on the second syllable, where many people persist in putting it. Architect is pronounced architect. Prairie has only two syllables, and is pronounced as though it were spet prairie. Athletics is composed of four appear in its pronunciation but many people, who take the liberty to inject an additional syllable between the first and second. In lodine and nicotine, the last syllables are pronounced din and tin respectively. The names of the Polar oceans are usually pronounced as though they were spelt Artie, a mistake that will be avoided by giving both its the sound of k. Following are some examples of incorrect construction: "It is me," should be "It is I." because a noun or pronoun used predicatively, or as a subjective attribute complement must be in the nominative case. "It is a man at the door," should be "There is a man at the door," unless it be intended to designate what it is that is at the door. "Between you and me," is right and "between you and I," is wrong, because both pronouns are objects of the subject which takes only the objective case. Instead of saying, "if don't like those kind of people," say "that kind or "those" kinds. It is common to hear such expressions as "we does" and "she do." Teachers think that these errors arise out of the belief that the addition of a pluralizes a verb. But the addition of a plural has exactly the opposite effect. Remember this, and remember also, that a singular subject requires a singular verb and a plural subject requires a plural verb. An ordinary misuse of verbs occurs in the following expression: "I written Mother that I seen her brother and taken dinner with him, and I read, "I wrote Mother that I saw her brother and to 5 dinner with him. The way to avoid these errors is to get acquainted with the verb forms and their uses. The verb forms used in forming predicates are the present indicative, past indicative, present participle, and past participle. For example; in the verb "write," the present is past, wrote, the present participle, writing, on the past participle, written. Write, wrote, the present and past tense forms, are the only forms that can constitute predicates alone. Ex. 1. write, 1 wrote. Such expressions as I written, I seen, and I taken, are wrong because, in forming predicates, they can be used only in the perfect tenses, and then only with the addition of auxiliaries. Ex. pres. perf. tense, I have written; past perf. tense, I had written; Fut. perf. tense, I shall have written. The present participle has two uses: 1. Verbal; 2. Adjective. Its verbal use occurs in the progressive verb phrases; as, "We're climbing." The adjective use is shown in, "The pupil writing the best composition will receive a prize." The past participle has three uses: 1. verbal, in forming verb phrases; 2. adjective, in modifying substantives; 3. in having the use soldier was wounded in battle. 2. The number of soldiers wounded in this engagement could not be ascertained. 3. The ground was strewn with the wounded. Speaking of the "Follow Me" Company, The Boston American says in a heavy headline: "Negro show at old Howard a winner." This is followed with a lengthy and favorable criticism. The Boston Globe agrees. From New Born Sun Journal. A minister writes: "Can we not have a whole week's issue in which there is not a single crime or illicit action, or a central or state of human frailty? " "Publish for a whole week all the good things you can find in New Born and the world. Let your readers know what a good town they have. It will be 'news' to them. It will be 'news' to you. It will be 'news' to them as they face the daily grist of human sin. Give virtue and kindness and good will a week's publicity." THE NEGRO IN NEW ENGL The question is one every conscientious journalist has ruefully asked himself ever since the grimning of publicity. With the same earnestness a pastor might sigh for the day when he could dispense with reading the delegation and could omit the prayer for sinners. In either case it can be little more than a pious aspiration, since both church and press deal with conditions of living. For the newspaper* it has to be said that it is primarily the handmaiden of history; day by day it records what men say and do; sin, it realizes, does not finish because unremarked. Society eliminates sin by detecting it and denouncing it. Publicity is the greatest agent of restraint. The minister who writes the letter probably realizes this. Nor would he be willing, on reflection, to warn me of the sin which stifles his head into the sands, would see no evil, hear no evil, and thus pretend to believe that the community could no evil. The newspaper is a reporter of events. If it is less it evades its duty. But if it searches out crime, not for the plain record of it, but to enlarge on it, ornament it, envelop it in the gilded robes of re- Kelly Millen - Afro-African I was in Boston last week. Boston is in New England, and New England is Boston so far as the Negro is concerned. After delivering my set address on the Negro Sanhedrin I was invited to meet with a delightful group that was giving a reception to the graduates and students of Harvard. Boston University is the New England Conference and other regional institutions. Hon. William H. Lewis, ex-Assistant Attorney General, was the orator of the occasion. His dress was up to his usual high standard of eloquence, wit and wisdom. By the way, Lewis is recognized as being one of the great lawyers of New England. He has found ample room in his profession, on top. It was an inspiration to witness these thirty or forty young men and women gathered from all parts of the country seeking the forms of knowledge and culture of the highest scholastic type. I could not but advise them that their special attunements would find useful expression mainly in service to their own group, but would become comparatively impatient and barren unless quickened by the human motive and winged with missionary zeal and enthusiasm. The situation of the New England New York is a study and a puzzle. The old philanthropy is dying with the years. The abolitionist freed the slaves, and are dead. Their descendants maintain a decent and distant respect for the deeds and devotion of their ancestors. They have little interest in the Negro in New England in the year of our WILBERFORCE U. CONFERS DEGREE UPON REP. DYER Author of Federal Lynching Bill Honored by Race University. Willierforce, Ohio, July 5—The close of the Sixtieth year of Willierforce University was marked by one of the greatest Commencement in the history of that institution. Hundreds of friends, graduates and former students were in attendance from different parts of the country, throughout the week. A very scholarly and impressive sermon was preached by Bishop W. D. Johnson on Sunday morning at ten o'clock. Masterful addresses were delivered by Chaplain O. J. W. Scott, of the United States Army; Retired and Rev. S. B. Jones of Alton, Illinois, Sunday afternoon and evening, to the Religious Societies and to the Seminary Students respectively. D. C. R. R. Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia, and Editor of the Christian Recorder delivered the address to the Literary Societies Tuesday night. The Sixtieth Anniversary Celebration was observed Wednesday afternoon and evening. Bishop J. M. Connor was christened by the Celebration. Bishops W. H. Henry and L. J. Coppin presided at the afternoon and evening meetings. Addresses were delivered by Tisha B. P. Lee and W. T. Verton, Dr. R. C. Ransom, Dr. H. Y. Tooks, Hon.
