Norfolk Journal and Guide MISSING SINCE ARRIVING HERE ON BUXTON LINE Jusband Scours the City For Three Weeks In Vain Efforts To Secure Trace of His Missing Family. AME FROM CLAREMONT O JOIN HUSBAND HERE If there is any one in this vicinity or anywhere who knows the wreathrobes of Mrs. Othella Newby whose picture appears on this baby and her little eighteen months old baby, they will remove from the life of a family the shades of tragedy and restore happiness in the breast of a sorely depressed and frantic father and husband, if they will notify the Journal and Guide or Mr. Nervon Newby, 125 Wilson avenue. Mr. Newby reported that his wife and baby have been lost since 28 when they came to this town from Clarmont, Va., via of the Buxton line and landed at the company’s pier on water street, around 6 o’clock in the afternoon. He is a pile driver worker, in the employ of Sanford and Brooks company here. His wife, who is 1 year’s old, and baby came here join him. That they landed in forklift he has been assured by the pain of the boat who stated that he is positive of having had the woman and baby described as监护ers on the date of June 28, and is equally sure that the woman and child landed in Norfolk. But, that is the only trace of the prostrate father and businessman, seems that they completely disappeared after arriving in the city, to him, he said, the disappearance is as been complete and as mysteries as if his little loved brood vanished in the air. Mr. Newby stated that city citizens have been working on the since the disappearance, but without results and now his heart is heavy. There has never been any misunderstanding between himself and his wife, he said, adding that his home was happy and tranquil, which simply enhances the mystery in the case. When the woman left home she was wearing a grey sport coat and the baby was wearing a small sailor hat, according to information furnished the husband to his wife's mother who lives in a moment. She is of a dark complexion, medium height and size. She was stranger to these parts and was strange to any place in Norfolk, where she had the address of her husband, his brother and also knew of her mother at home. None of these people have heard a word from her. She carried a suit case, about $25 in cash and some men's shoes, for her husband. Mr. Newby said that he has already spent considerable money in the search and, altho under an awful mental strain he is forced to remain at work in order to be able financially to keep up the mount. Before marriage the young woman was Miss Othella Venable. She has two nephews in Newport News, and also had the address of a friend here living on Jefferson street. All of these have joined in the hunt for the missing woman and child, but absolutely no trace whatever has been found except that it is known that they landed there. MARSHALL'S STATUS IN HAITI IS FIXED Official Whose Duties Were Entirely Clerical Will Now Have Diplomatic Functions. Washington, D. C. July 19-The official status of Captain Napoleon Marsh, who went to Huiti be a secretary to High Commission John H. Russell, but whose duties were entirely clerical, has been factorially fixed. His work hereafter will be diplomatic. The adjustment of this situation was brought about through the good offices of Senator Medill McCormick, who was instrumental in TEN PAGES LOST! DOCTOR SMASHES KLAN'S ARGUMENTS Writing Anonymously in New York World, Shows Up the South's Inverted Logic. New York, July 19—The following letter from a physician appeared in the New York World of July 12, with the following editorial note: "The signee of this article is an officer of high authority in the medical world who has good reasons for wishing to remain anonymous." To the Editor of the World: The present address at the Veterans Hospital Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, affords a conspicuous example of Southern inconsistency. The one thing that the South is supposedly particular about is the non-association of whites and blacks, yet in this hospital controversy they very clearly helpe themselves for no matter what arrangement is made, there is compelled to be a very intimate contact between the black patients and the white personnel. It could not be otherwise in a hospital, and one is just a little afraid that these people are willing to sacrifice their sensitive spirit in these matters if the question of economics in the attractive salaries offered by the Government for positions at this hospital have been the magic that has made them forget that contact with a black man is distasteful. The argument which they have put up against a colored personnel are ridiculous and childish. First, they claimed that colored professional men were not competent; but is was very easy to demonstrate to the officials of the Veterans' Bureau that the Negro race affords professional men of the highest degree of skill and efficiency, and large number of cement (white) physicians and dentists gave willing testimonials to the fitness of colored professional men. Then they put forth the claim that there were not enough colored professional men. The National Medical Association, with a membership of 2,000 colord physicians, dentists and pharmacists presented a list of more than three times as many men as were necessary. The argument was the put forth that the colored disabled soldiers preferred white doctors. By cannot consider colored professionals any different from the general mass of colored people, and the large practices which are enjoyed by practically all colored physicians and dentists are sufficient proof that colord people have confidence in colored professional men. As a clinching argument, the claim was made that Tuskegee Institute, with the Veterans' Hospital and a colored staff, would create a condition inminal to the citizens of the Town of Tuskegee that there would be such a preponderance of Negroes in the community that the lives of the white citizens would be in jeopardy. They further argued that the Negro soliders were already shell-shocked and many of them mentally unbalanced, and it would be impossible to prevent bootleggers and dope venders from selling their wars to them, and when that these disabled veterans became charged with bad liquor and dope a colored staff would be unable to control them. It is ridiculous that supposedly thoughtful men would lead themselves to believe such a proposetous promotion. What chance A PLEA FOR OPPORTUNITY Extract from Henry Lincoln Johnson's Speech to the Jury in Defense of Garcia, and Tobias, Co-Defendants in the Garvey Case. "Oh, gentlemen, you can have no idea what it means to be a Negro in a day like this—the ignonmy of it. Hemmed in and surrounded victimized in this and that, and still going on and respecting and obeying the laws and looking for a brighter and better day, trying to fashion ourselves for the glory of the civilization in which we live. We know that we lost every dime. But, gentlemen, if not only the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but every black lost every dime he had; if every black man had taken his all and dropped it into the sea, with the belief that it would make him somebody, the consciousness that he means something to somebody, the exchange would be well and good. It would be money well spent. There is no one in this group of people but believe, deep down in his heart, that there is need of a broad industrial opportunity for his children. The black man does not live whose same day, somehow, the hidious curtain of hell and hate of oppression and of a lack of opportunity will some day be lifted from the vision of his children. I am praying for mine. Every black man hopes the same. And that is what he is trying to do." would Negroes, either at Tuskegos or anywhere else in the South, have against the whites in an uprising? The police force, the militia, ammunition and the cooperation of adjacent communities and States are all at the disposal of the white people, and the Negroes have practically nothing. But none of these reasons is the real reason. The real reason has been stated above, and that reason is money. This action on the part of the people of Alabama is nothing less than defiance of the United States Government. The Federal Government decides on one thing and the people of Alabama decide that it shall not be. The South is crying against the nullification of the 18th Amendment, and this act and everything else connected with the consideration and treatment of the Negro are more flagrant acts of nullification than are aimed against the 18th Amendment, for one is merely against a beverage and the other is against human souls. The Government has left but one of three things to do first, open the hospital as it has been decided under a Negro personnel, with the Federal troops (not State troops); instead make the institution a hospital for white soldiers under a white personnel and give or erect another hospital in more favorable surroundings to the Negro soldiers, under a Negro personnel; third, abandon the hospital. NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING Governor McRae, of Arkansas Will Deliver Welcome Address Afternoon of Opening. (Special To The Journal and Guide) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., July 19 —Dr. Robert R. Moton, President of the National Negro Business League, announced today that the honorable T. C. McRae, Governor of the State of Arkansas, had given the officers of the League definite assurance that he would welcome the League to the State at the Wednesday evening session, August 15, of the Twenty-fourth Annual Meeting of the League, which be held in Hot Spring, Arkansas August 15, 16, and 17. A special feature of the forthcoming meeting will be the "get-together" meeting of the "Life Members of the League," many of whom were among those who assembled in Boston twenty-four-years ago in answer to the call of Dr. Book- NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1923 MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR First Time Supreme Tribunal Has Followed Such Process As Decision Indicates. (BY A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., July 19.—Attention has been called to some of the legal phases involved in the DUI case decision. Solicitor James A. Cobb, of Washington, D. C., says. "Growing out of the Elaire riot something like 100 colored men were indicted for murder. Sixty or more men were convicted and sent to the penitentiary, twelve of whom were convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be electrocuted. The Supreme Court of the State of Arkansas resigned and sustained the conviction as to six more. The date for the electrocution was set. A petition for a writ of hathas corpus was filed in the District Federal Court of Arkansas on the ground that these men had been illegally convicted and were being illegally held in that they had not had due process of law in consonance with the Constitution of the United States. The District Federal Court denied the petition and direct appeal was held in the District Federal Court of Arkansas. The Supreme Court of the United States reversed the decision of the District Court of Arkansas, holding that according to the record, demurrier having been filed to the petition, these men had not had due process of law. The record according to the findings of the Supreme Court disclosed the fact that the Court was absolutely dominated by the mob spirit and that both the judge and jury were impelled forward to the court in the directive for the court which was a direct violation of the due process clause of the Constitution of the United States. The Court held as it has often held that due process meant the law of the citizens alike without fear or favor from the court of the community at large, which was not done in this case. "This was an unusual triumph for law and order in this country. It is the first time that the Supreme Court has gone squarely on record to the effect that where a State Court was dominated by outside influences that Federal Court would step in and that due process of law in accordance with the Constitution was given to its citizens. That principle was invoked in the frank case, "The Court should that due process of law was granted, or to put it in the negative, that the prisoner had not shown that he had been denied due process by the court." this group. Elaborate plans are being rapidly effected for the entertainment of the League and the colored and white citizens are cooperating to enable Hot Springs to excel every other city in entertaining the League.

Judge O'Neil, in a dissenting opinion, declared that "Bloodhound testimony is as barbarous as witchcraft itself." This dissenting opinion has won for one Mitchell Davis, a white man, a rehearing in a case where he stands accused of murder and in which the evidence of his guilt was held proven by bloodhound scent. The case has an unusual interest for Negroes because of the many convictions and executions of Negroes have been brought about by the character of evidence that Judge O'Neil now declares to be Barbarous and as bad as witchcraft. ELAINE RIOT CASES SET COURT RECORD UNUSUAL TRIUMPH SENATOR MAKES STRONG APPEAL TO PREJUDICE Powell, of Alabama, in Protest to Director Hines, of Veterans' Bureau, Utters Unreasonable Attack on Race. SAYS LIBERAL MINDED WHITES ARE RENEGADES Tuskegee, Ala.; July 19—The meeting of the white citizens of Tuskegee with General Hines of the Vetrans' Bureau, which was held here Thursday afternoon, July 5, was characterized by bitterness and the strongest possible appeals to ignorance and race prejudice. General Hines was rather non-committal and did not bring up the question of race whites; the glowing reports in the daily papers to the contrary. The Bureau Director made it clear that whoever promised the citizens of Tuskegee a white personnel, did so without authority. On the other hand, he made it clear that it was not his intention to break down the cordial relations between the races in Tuskegee. State Senator R. H. Powell, who has led the local fight against a Nairn man who was the chief spokesman for the citizens, and he proceeded to read the "riot act" to President Harding and to General Hines. "The white people of Alabama will not stand for a Negro personnel," said Powell, as he pointed his finger in General Hines' direction. Continuing, he said, "The Government will send a lot of Northern niggers down on here who will be putting on airs and demanding their rights, then there will be some real trouble, for we are determined to maintain and defend the principles of white supremacy at whatever cost." Powell then took occasion to ridicule Negro leadership and the Tuskegee Institute. "The black race is utterly void of the qualifications for leadership," he said, and if it wasn't for the guidance of Southern whites the Tuskegee Institute would have been a failure." Powell's speech reached its climax when he said, "There are Jim-Crow laws and certain Southern traditions which are necessary to maintain white supremacy, and whenever we find a southwestern individual who towards niggers, or who does not subscribe to this policy, we call him a renegade. Educated niggers resemble these laws and traditions, and they may be right or wrong, but we have defended them for sixty years, and we are going to continue to stand by them until the last drop of Southern white blood is spilled." Among the other local speakers was Congressman Lamar Jeffers, who according to Norman Hapgood, in Hearts International Magazine, is one of the leading Klansmen in Alabama. It is said that General Hines was deeply moved by Senator Powell's address. For the present, Director Hines said, the hospital will be conducted with the present staff of white doctors and Negro nurses, but the process of selecting Negro physicians ready to put them in when a definite policy is decided will be continued. Director Hines set at rest reports that in settling the controversy he might make the institution a white hospital and move the Negroes North. This, he said, he has no intention of doing. The colored veterans will remain at Tuskegee, he said. Alleged Lyncher Freed In 11 Minutes Columbia, Mn., July 20—A jury here to-day returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of George Barkwell indicted for murder in connection with the lynching of Jas. T. Scott, a Negro, on the outskirts of the city on April 29. The jury remained out only eleven minutes. Since the lynching occurred, it has been practically established that Scott was an innocent man. He was accused of attacking the young daughter of a professor at the University of Missouri. The lynching was witnessed by several hundred students of both sexes, and it is alleged that many participated.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR State Legislature Endorses Stand of Tuskegee Whites Both Houses Pass Joint Resolution of Protest Against Proposed Plan to Man Veterans' Hospital with Race Personnel. By MORRIS BROWN (Washington Correspondent) Washington, D. C., July 19—Not-withstanding that 45 per cent of the population of Alabama is colored and have no voice in the selection of members of the state legislature, both houses of that body quickly passed a joint resolution on Tuesday of last week declaring that the sentiment expressed therein represented the wishes of all the people of the state and protesting against the proposed plan of the Government of placing the Negro personnel in charge of the United States hospital at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, for the care of disabled colored ex-service men. Washington, July 18—Director Hines, of the Veterans' Bureau, announced today that he would have to go ahead with a policy with respect to the Negro hospital near Tuskegee, Ala., soon unless he could reach some middle ground with the committee of white citizens of that town appointed after his recent visit there. He has received a suggestion from the committee, he said, proposing that all physicians end most administrative assistants at the hospital be white persons. He rejected this suggestion on the ground that it would nullify the government's intent and asked the committee to reconsider its propos- Copies of the incongruous resolutions were sent by the secretary of the Alabama Senate to President Harding and General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans Bureau. The resolution but emphasizes the absurdity of the opposition of the Alabama white people to Negro control of this institution; for how the conclusion is reached, that Negro control will jeopardize life and make the homes of the citizens less safe and secure is beyond conception. The joint resolution was introduced by State Senator R. H. Powell, who comes from the district in which Tuskegee Institute is located. He has led the opposition to a colored staff and is a member of the committee of three townpeople of Tuskegee selected to confer with Director Hines further. There was not a single dissenting vote in either house. The preamble to the resolution recites the reasons for the selection of Tuskegee as the site for this Government hospital, from the viewpoint of the Alabama whites, and states that white control was promised and that Negro was distinguished. That Negro hospital only would be used in aid hospital to care for said Negro men. But before said hospital began to function, an element of Negroes, with certain white allies, caused a halt in the proceedings, and insisted that the Government should turn said hospital over to Negro officers, and put same under Negro rule." It is resolved "that Negro control of the hospital, under circumstances as set forth above, would be a curse to the ax-service man to whom the Government owes a debt of gratitude; a curse to the Negro race in its injurious effect upon the Tuskegee Institute, which is of much more permanent benefit than the hospital can possibly be, and a curse to the innocent Tuskegee, who, in accepting the Government's pledge, have brought upon themselves a condition that will jeopardize the lives of many, make the homes of the citizens less safe and secure, make their town less desirable, and 'to a large extent destroy the real happiness that they have experienced in the past in their home life and associations in the town of Tuskegee." Women's Clubs Seek to Have Eliminated Color Clause in Senator Capper's Measure. (By A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., July 19—The active and organized protests of the colored women of the country, backed by numerous other organizations have won the day in the fight to eliminate the color clause from the proposed national marriage and divorce bill. Led by the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, groups of women from all over the country began piling up letters of protest upon the desk of Senator Capper, the junior member from Kansas, who is said to have expressed his amazement at the effective working of their organization and to have predicted "that if similar efficiency Washington, July 18—Director Hines, of the Veterans' Bureau, announced today that he would have to go ahead with a policy with respect to the Negro hospital near Tuskegee, Ala., soon unless he could reach some middle ground with the committee of white citizens of that town appointed after his recent visit there. He has received a suggestion from the committee, he said, proposing that all physicians and almost all administrative assistants at the hospital be white persons. He rejected this suggestion on the grounds that the government's intent and asked the committee to reconsider its proposals. The hospital, he said, is being run efficiently at present with about sixty per cent of the personnel Negroes, including all nurses and attendants and a large part of the administrative staff with all of the physicians white. The feasibility of putting the hospital entirely in charge of Negroes, as suggested by the President, has been studied by bureau officials and determined that it would be possible to assemble a sufficient number of Negro physicians for ward service. They are not satisfied, however, that an adequate number of Negro doctors could be obtained to fill the higher posts.

Washington, D. C., July 20- Udertakers are increasing to an alarming degree among Negroes but statistics show that the Negro mortality rate is on the decrease among these people. 17 per 1,000 are the figures recently given out by the Interior Department. This is declared to be 70 per cent above the white mortality rate. The cause assigned by the Department of the Interior for this situation is the lack of a sufficient number of Negro physicians to meet the exigencies of sickness among the Negroes. Close Negro observers, however, declare that the increase in numbers of Negro undertakers is occasioned by the lure of profit rather than the increase of Negro mortality. was painfully burned about the face and arms by an overturned lamp last week. — Mrs. Susie Jones is confined to the house from a broken needle in the hand. —Mrs. Rosa Reed of Walker Avenue, received the sad intelligence on Monday, of the death of her foster-daughter, Annie Maud Blow, in New York City. —Marie Louther, little daughter of Mrs. Cora Hassel of Berkley avenue is very ill. —Mrs. Lili Delli, only daughter of Mrs. J.

SOCIETY - FRATERNITIES THE CIVIC LEAGUE READY FOR ACTION THE CIVIC LEAGUE READY FOR ACTION Constitution Adopted, Officers Chosen, Organization is The Norfolk Civic and Welfare Tenure met at Bank Street Baptist Church Tuesday night and adopted the constitution submitted by the Committee which had been chosen to draw up the instrument at the last meeting of the organization. The committee being familiar with the sentiments of the body submitted a constitution that was accepted in its entirety. The committee was named to nominate the remaining officers for the organization as provided for in the constitution. Upon the retirement of this committee to carry out the duty imposed upon it the organization went into a general discussion of policy for the league. Several members spoke with sincere hopes for the success of the movement, altoh, practically all of the speakers refrained from being over sanguine and took care to guard against stirring any up any more. It seemed to be the determination of the members to talk less and work more for the accomplishments of the league's purposes. Among other things, one of the purposes of the league as set forth in the constitution as adopted "shall be to encourage members of our group to become voters." It was stipulated that the officers of the organization shall be qualified citizens. The requirement for membership is a pledge to use diligence to become a qualified citizen. This provision, however, does not limit the membership to qualified citizens only, as many realized than many fine people by virtue of residence, would not be able to become voters. Nevertheless, these people will be welcomed in the league upon the strength of their interest in civic betterment. The league will meet on the second Tuesday night in each month hereafter at places stipulated at each meeting. The officers of the organization are: Rev. C. M. Long, president; Wycham Tyler, vice-president; and representative of Adam's Ward; W. L. Davis, vice-president, Washin- g, J. R. Dungee, vice-president, M. D. P. Drake, Madison Ward; James A. Aspleyte, secretary; Mrs. M. B. Lee, assistant secretary; Mrs. Matthew Jackson, treasurer.

Denby BABY SHOP 321 CHURCH STREET Specialty Shop for Children's Wear Returned Minister Talks On Migration Rev. D. F. White, pastor of First United Presbyterian Church, who has recently returned from a speaking tour of the North in interest of Negro education in the South, when asked to tell of some of his observations on the migration and especially how he thought the Negro from the south is adjusting himself to his new environment and what is the attitude of the people in those sections toward the Negro migrants had the following to say: "I was in the East when the migration of the world war was in progress. I saw Negroes come into the industrial centers by thousands and at that time I observed that there was manifested in most places considerable resentment against this new worker. The employers were skeptical and their collaborators, white and colored usually resented their presence. The people knowing little about the southern Negro more than the stories heard concerning his alleged laziness and criminal tendencies were invariably resentful of him. But now that sentiment has entirely changed. The Negro laborers of the south are welcomed and they are fitting into the industrial life of the communities admirably well. In Detroit, Mich., the opportunities presented to the thrivity and intelligent Negro farm laborer is exceptional. There his services are urgently sought at his own terms. The educational advantages are excellent and even the he should live in the country he could enjoy the prosperity of the south and the protection of the just laws administered justly. Men is the cry in the East, the question is not white men or black Men, But Men, Men. Dr. White will occupy his pulpit Sunday, but did not state whether or not he would speak upon this subject.

BRIGGS Instructor of Theology and the English Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. SUNDAY JULY 22ND. Luke, 9: 49-56, Jno., 19: 25-27; I Jno., 4: 7-8. GOLEDN TEXT—God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him, 1 Jno., 4: 18. The Intolerance of John—Luke, 9: 49-56. "The John of the artists is not the John that appeals to me. The John of the artists is usually a John without wrinkle, without a care-line, with a single token or mark of passion with the trace of a single tear. Our artists always give us a wrinkled Peter, but I will hear him speak his mind. I come down from heaven and burn them from heaven and burn them." Eilid did." Wonder if, up as Brisbane that was the real John. I wonder if it that was the man's burden. I wonder if that was why the Master was trick him with wistful care, careful love, because there was so much explosive material imprisoned in his soulJewel that was the real John. I wonder if it that was the man's burden. I wonder if that was why the Master surrounded him with such wistful, tender, careful love, because there was so much explosive material imprisoned in his soul—Jowett. Imprisoned in his soul—Jowett. In him question John's loyalty for his Master. He was certainly zealous for the cause of Jesus Christ. The beloved disciple saw one casting out devils in Jesus's name, but because this individual did not belong to Apostle group, John would forbid him. Jesus said to John, let him alone. "He that is for you is not against you." "Everything that is going on in the world must be placed either upon one side or the other. Everything that is making the world better is on the side of Christ. Every thing that is degrading humanity is against Christ. How clear this principle is."—Phillips Brooks. John's spirit of intolerance is so severe in his wanting to call fire down upon the Samaritans because they would not receive Jesus. "What wonder that the Sons of Thunder wished to flash lightning?"—Ambrose. 2. Jesus commits His Mother into the Care and Keeping of John. John 19: 25-27. This beautiful episode is told only by John. Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, his mother's sister, Salome, the mother of the apostle John and Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. John was also standing and his care Jesus commanded his mother from his own home John took her unto his own home "John was Jesus' most intimate companion and friend. Jesus drew him closer to himself than any other. His love for John became a matter of comment. He gave proof of his friendship by entrusting the care of his mother to his friend. John did not always understand he sometimes misunderstood but he was true; he was the only one who forsake Jesus that dark night of the tragic trial. Nothing reveals more the maneness of Jesus than his desire for friendship; and nothing reveals John's sinnerity of character more than Jesus' choice of him as his bosom friend." 3. John's Message of Love.1 John 4: 7, 8. he who loves best his fellow man Love is loving God the holiest way he can—Alice Cary. Can.—Alice Carry. The apostles here gives several reasons why we should love one another: (1) God is love (2) The new birth and an experimental knowledge of God comes through love. (3) God is unknown to him who does not love. The old Greeks whose civilization developed along the line of architecture and painting and decorative arts, said 'God is beauty.' The Romans, led by the Caesars on a hundred battlefields to victory, until boasted that the Roman emperors burnt turnover backward, said 'God is wisdom' to the Jew, inheriting from Moses, the Lawgiver, said, God is law. It was not until John had laid his head on the Saviour's bosom and communed with Jesus Christ that any man was able to say with confident heart, God 'gave.' John was a man of quiet, contemplative, mystical spirit. He was not the equal of Peter or his own brother James in practical energy and gifts of leadership, the consequence being that, as compared with them, he occupied a subordinate position among the Twelve and yet, if I had my choice today, I would rather be John than either James or Peter. You covet John's place more than I do. Peter's primary or James's exalted throne. Peter and James wore first among. The Twelve, but John was first in the affections of his Lord-Dr. J. D. Jones, in the Glorious Company of the Apostes. BRIGGSOGRAMS is Jesus Christ's distinct contribution to the world. in to the world.

July 19—Five Negroes were killed near here last Friday night in the wreck of a cattle train in which eighteen were severely injured and hundreds of cattle last and injured. The uninjured cattle are scattured over the adjacent country and many of them may be lost to the Stock yards companies of Chicago by the farmers who are inclined to hide them. None of the Negroes' names who were killed could be ascertained. NO ALIENS FOR THE SOUTH (Ey A. N. P.) Aiken, S. C. July19—“No aliens for the South,” was burden of Senator E. D. Smith's Fourth of July oration this year. The Senator said in the course of speech: “The Negro was the best umbrella the whites ever had. He was a fine substitute in the field when the sun was hot. The only immigration was that immigration that will be invited into the South by prosperity. Then we will get the Negroes to come back among the best American friends they ever bad.” WEEK DAY SERMONETTE The Way to Inter-Racial Co-operation Then Peter began to speak, "I clearly see," said he, "that God makes no distinctions between one man and another; but that in every nation, those who fear Him and live good lives are acceptable to Him."—Acts 10:34-35. Peter was a strict Jew and shared fully the opinion of his race that God made them out of better clay than He used when making the Gentiles. Though he, with the other apostles, had been commissioned to "go the whole world over and proclaim the good news to all mankind," he still believed the God made him not until the house-top vision did he give a thought about the Gentiles' claim on salvation. Not until he heard Cornelius tell of the heavenly messenger to himself he get big enough to say, "I clearly see that God makes no distinction between one man and another." In this story there are some notable facts: The men of different races were brought to fraternal relations because both were men of prayer. Cornelius was offering prayer in his house when the heavenly messenger stood in front of him and gave him the knowledge that his prayer was heard and his charities recorded, together with the instruction that he send to Joppa for Peter. Peter went on the house-top to pray and there saw race prejudice and race prejudice an emancipation without which no man can live his longest and best. 2. These men of different races were both open-minded as to divine guidance. The angel told Cornelius to send for Peter and he it forthwith. He did not stop to reflect on the haughty attitude of Cornelius and to wander the Court world and conclude that it was no need to send for that proud Israelite because he would not come. Neither did Peter refuse to respond to the request of Cornelius on the ground that it would be a condescension damaging to his social standing and religious consistency. God ordered him to go and that was what Cornelius could be damaged and religious consistency that could be hurt by doing God's will are not worth protecting. Relations between men in the United States will not reach the point of brotherhood until, like Cornelius and Peter the leaders on both sides become: People who do not pray should not be entrusted with the responsibility of leadership. A leader must have the poise which prayer gives. Especially is this true as regards the Negro leader. There is so much against him, so much to provoke to anger, so much to discourage, so much to make him desperate, so much to keep him for him to keep his head on top as a safe-guard against conduct and counsel that would make his leadership dangerous.

The Negro must pray the prayer of faith or the door of hope will close. The white man needs to pray, especially when he thinks of himself in relation to the Negro, for humility. He is so prone to disregard the Scripture which says, "I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly." Humility is the mark of the man who prays, white or black. It is also an outstanding characteristic of the Negro man who is of dependable piety. These are all requisites of true leadership and emphasize the necessity of prayer as a condition precedent to inter-racial co-operation. 2. We must become in both races men and women open to divine guidance like Cornelius and Peter, before we can meet on terms of brotherhood. White men and black men of America, "we be brethren. Denial does not alter the nature of a brotherhood that takes a bigger truth than when he said: "To deny the brotherhood of man is to deny the fatherhood of God." Leaving out religion and ethics, we should be brethren in practice regardless of race or color, because it adds to our personal popularity. Why did J. C. Walton, win the recent election in Oklahoma, with every newspaper in the state, except a Socialist daily and a Kept on the Fence newspaper? Because whether it is so or not the common white people and the Negroes believed that in him they had a friend. The practice of brotherhood is the strongest political pull one can have. If you do not believe it, philosophize on Governor Walton's election and the popularity of Mayor Thompson, of Chicago. Both men are in a square deal towards all the people, including Negroes. White men do not lose anything by being kind to Negroes. If so, history does not show it. If the world were asked to name the two greatest Presidents this country has had, the two names that would head the list are the emancipator, and Theodore Roosevelt, the only President who ever ate lunch with a Negro. Nor does the Negro loss by getting close to the white man. In fact, the greatest leaders the race has produced are those Negroes who have been able to get most from the white man for their people. Booth Washington was our leader in the race to the race the co-operation of the white people of widest influence and greatest wealth as no other Negro has done. Since the greatest white men and the greatest Negroes America has produced are the wisely inter-racial co-operation, why may not all of us add to our usefulness by following their lead? --- SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

These men are Dr. Williams and Tally Holmes, not that either of them is through in matters of form and accomplishments but other duties make it impossible to remain in proper trim, to give their best at all times. Tally Holmes the mighty, like our own Dr. Williams is a great player, both are students of the game and know the inner points well and the passing of either would be a sad blow to the development of the game among our people. After Killing 3 Cops Custumer Service :: IN THE THEATRES Did Hubbard Break Broad Jump Record? Special Photographs Taken of Surface Prints at Stagg Field May Answer Query. Chicago,lll—Special photographs were taken of the crush surface where DeHart Hubbard made his leap out at Stagg field during the recent meet in an attempt to determine just what heaped when the lad failed to balance himself while smashing the record. He twenty-six feet as was announced following his jump, only to be changed later, but in doing so allowed his feet to drag and as a consequence of it was disqualified. At the time of the jump newspaper men were snapping Hubbard and the results of the photos now being re-developed and enlarged might show that the world's record was actually broken. Griffin Silent. In the meantime Major Griffith, the "Judge Landis" of the big ten sports, refuses to commit himself on the matter. As to whether the marks will be taken seriously, comed further than my jump to there will give my decision latter," says athletic head.

College Spirit In Professional Games The spirit that college athletes get while in school; that is the fine sportmanship that is instilled into them through the coaches and the habit of fair play and good losing such as most of the good athletes get, and keep from playing with, and against good teams, is often seen and reflected in professional teams throughout the country. Many of the teams win because they have these players who hustle from the start to finish as they were coached to do in their college days. It's a team with the old fighting spirit that doesn't know the meaning of defeat, or if it comes, they take it in a philosophical manner and let it go at the determination to win next time. We would not know some of the teams were paid to play, rather we would think the club was in it for the fun of playing and the glory of winning or to win their "letter" as they did in their school day. There is a good feeling existing, each player is constantly encouraging the other. It is very often that some of the more noisy of the players start up a cheer, and an organized cheer at that. He just bubbles over with enthusiasm that is contagious. The players sometimes act as if they wish it one, eleven innings instead of nine, and the ordinary player would be content with six or seven innings. There are not any outstanding stars who try to take all of the honors. Consequently, they have more color and dash—pep, plenty of pep.

PALACE This house is still carrying capacity crowds who enjoy such features as "The Great Knight", "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" and the Lonnie Fisher company of fifteen people. There were the sessils-Pearl White in Plunder and "The Oregon Trail." The Lonnie Fisher company is a vibrant festival, a fifteen people knockout party, a good jazz band, pretty girls, fun for up-to-date dancing and singing, beautiful costumes, special secretry and good jokes and everything to make the audience just wish for more when its over. The movie features were all good and the serials are as thrilling and exciting as ever. MANHATTAN The Manhattan features are still going strong and each week they are either better or as good as the week before. The Manhattan's policy of catering to good pictures is showing results in the good pictures and large crowds there throughout the week. Everyone had a treat who saw Katherine McDonald in the "Notorious Miss Lise" the story of a girl wrongly accused, made a social outcast, and causing her parents, who were ruled by public opinion, more so than what they believed, much embarrassment. They practically forced a marriage between the girl and the man she loved, but did not want to marry until she had proven her innocence—then after a series of unhappy events they prove her innocence Some Sidelights On Our Athletes The way the challengers and contenders are howling for a fight with Dempsey it seems as though it will be run like some of the political races and "Somebody will be nominated to run against the champion out of this mess". ☆. ☆ ☆ In a newspaper discussion of educated and uneducated base ball players, Rube Foster, the Negro baseball authority states that an uneducated-ball player is more acceptable to him and renders more service because his "unsphisticated, mind" as one writer said, "is more given to accepting advice and following the leadership of the less educated man." On the o'her side, Mr. McGraw makes the opposite view. He says that the educated man knows his faults and will gladly ask aid in remedying them, while an uneducated man will seek to hide his. Moreover, he says that baseball has become such a science that a trained mind is necessary to grasp its intricacies. _Good argument both ways but the player delivers the gode that is all necessary. Joe Jennette, a noted Negro Puglist, refreed a bour, one of the preliminaries for the Firpo Willard bout.. That is beginning to show many interesting things and one of them is, that race men are becoming to be competent officials and if the scoptical white man trusts him, we should. Along comes another alibi from somebody—this time it comes from Firpo and Willard. They say that each was handicapped by sprained left arms. It was noticed that neither did much with the left jaws—and now after the fight they come out with this alibi. It is reported that Firpo expressed the desire to meet Wills and at the same time he expressed the idea that he would fight anybody, anytime, anywhere. Now it appears that he is not ready to meet Dempsey. George Godfrey, the boxer who mauled Dempsey so, is signed to meet Bill Tate August 10th. Bill Tate has in his career heat Willis twice. It should be interesting, a mauler of Dempsey and a conqueror on two occasions of Willis.

Philadelphia, Pa., July 19-Going into a "house afire," Ed Bolden's entry in the Eastern Colored League is showing a clean pair of heels to the rest of the pack and moving at a clip that will assure them of premier honors unless some-one tosses a wrench into the works. Bowling over all opponents, for a gun of sixteen straight victories the Philadelphia contingent have included eight league contests in their streak. At the present time it doesn't appear to be difficult feat for Capt. Lloyd to pick his hurlers, as every moundsman on the Hildale staff has been turning in victories with marked regularity and when one of the twirlers appear to steer the heavy stick work, Bolden's Carries carries the team to victory. Although the Cuban Stars trimmed the Bacharachian Giants three straight games, the shore boys are far from being "all in" and may be the first club to check Hildale in their sensational spurt. It is an almost sure shot that Tom Jackson's crew will send "Rats" Henderson to the hill in the first game with Hildale, and right here let it be known that if "Rats" person performs in the same manner as when the clubs met before, the winning streak of the game will be dental. On the other hand if the Hildale missile manulers continue their rurderous onslaught, Henderson, the Bacharach's chunky right-hander, will swallow his first defeat from Capt. Lloyd's gang. An inking of what is wrong with the Lincoln Glants, was gleaned when several of the players began mixing matters in a purlilic way, on the players bencha Protectory Oval during the progress of a game. While the club seemed to be playing in a streak of hard luck, losing many battles by a one run margin, the meat of the trouble appears to be decession and a shake up in the team is very much in order to bring about the desired results. Little Charlie Speddon one of the owners of the Baltimore Black Sox, is far from satisfied with the manner in which the Sox have been "Taking it" lately and by the time that the Marylanders play a return engagement in Philadelphia, the personnel of the Sox may show signs of a thorough renovation; in works like the Black Sox, present a much more formidable array when several new men are added. Seven straight deficits have changed the aspect of Baltimore's pennant chances and dropped them from the top to fourth place. The Cubans and Brooklyn Royals have lost no ground by remaining idle, but both clubs have a tough schedule ahead for the month of July. Eastern Colored League Standing W L. Pet.

Before going on Broadway this show was good enough to run three weeks here, and six weeks in Philadelphia. Since it left away, the lights. It enjoyed record run at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem of five weeks, not withstanding it had already been playing in New York for over two months. Since the separation of Miller and Lyles, and Sissle and Blake, the two teams who were the co-authors and principals in the tremendously successful colored show "Shuffle Along," there have been many rumors and much speculation as to what Miller and Lyles would do next. It was made plain at the time of the split, early in June, that members of the former management, would continue with "Shuffle Along." On July 10, Miller and Lyles who had been quietly assembling a company that included all but about eight of the former "Shuffles" and enough new faces to total more than sixty people, began rehearsals in Bryant Hall, for a show that they are producing for George White of "Seandals" fame. The production, as yet unnamed, is based on Miller and Lyles that is said to be the stars in the lives of the Mayor of Jimtown and his business partner, the two characters that provided the fun for the "Shufflers" show. Music for the more than twenty songs numbers is by James P. Johnson, the foremost Negro pianist and composer, if the recorded number of measurement. The Lyrics are by Cecil Mack. The pen-name of R. C. McPherson, Will Marion Cook is conducting the choral rehearsals and Elida Webb is staging the dances. Miles and Lyles are personally supervising the entire production. The supporting company is a strong one, and includes Mattie Wilkes, Ravella Hughes, Blanche Den Harris, Onion Jeffries, Paul Floyd, Arthur Thorpe, Wesley Hill, George Stevens, Bass Foster, Ina Duncan, Bessie Allison, Charles Olden, Mounty Hawley, Vernon Porter, William Andrews, Percy Coison, Arthur Ray, and a number of other choral cellists, culled from both the Negro dramatic and musical comedy-first ranks. The show is scheduled to open for an out of town engagement early in August, after which it will be booked for the season by the Klaw and Erlang office, with the very great likelihood of being presented at a Broadway house very early in the season. —J. A. Jackson Charles Chaplin, of early and lasting fame, gave the moving picture public a great treat in his short picture, "The Pilgrim." He proved that a comedy may be both amusing and artistic, and that laughter and tears are close associated in such a piece of work. Now this genius is at work on a longer production which may be destined to prove some more encouraging truths about moving picture possibilities. Charlie himself does not act in this picture; he is its author and director. And its first unique feature is the fact that he is producing it without the aid of script, scenario and continuity. This special feature that certain necessary written memoranda did find a place on Chaplin's cuffs and on old scraps of paper. But the nots instructions, details, plans and directions were chiefly in the producer's thoughts. The dime novel was absurd in itself as the movie thriller; but out of it the imaginative boy or girl might construct a fair land not in the least absurd. Out of the movie thriller he can construct little or nothing, for it is all before him. Then, thoroughly accustomed to reading he is not inclined to demand that his novel put all before him with photographic exactness: New York, N. Y. July 19—Five years ago, a colored composer whose work attracted more than passing attention was a variety. Four years ago, the voice of the Negro artist was as yet unrecorded, excepting, of course, Bert Williams who had long before crossed all artistic color lines. While the populace was seeking surcease from the nerve strain of the World War someone introduced to the microcosm melodies that had for centuries served to alleviate the soul sorrowness of the millions of slaves, long since vanished from our lands. These songs and their adaptations became public favorites as spirituelles, Jazz numbers and Blues, as the mood of the composer indicated. Soon the world was Jazz wild, too much so for endurance. The South was ravished for the sacred songs, the labor of the colonial colonies dressed in modern array and handed to a willing, public. White artists tried to interpret these numbers, not always with the success that was hoped for. Composers of other races attempted to marshal the melodies but missed the soul and spirit of them. Finally, a colored band master came out of Memphis who had been born in the native atmosphere of the Blues. He wrote, and his band played them in importance. Soon a Negro woman, Mamie Smith, was recording them; and in a scant three years the race has come into most recognition as essentially their own. One after the other, music publishers have been acknowledging need of Race composers if they would have really worth while numbers of the Blues type. Hesitatingly they took on one, then another of our group, till today perhaps every house, and every phonograph recording company has at least a contributing, if not a staff composer who is colored. A list of the composers whose work is represented in the catalogue reads like a roll call of "Who's. Who" in Negro music. Some of the famed names that adorn the title pages are Will Vodery, who has for years made the musical arrangements for Zeigfeld's Follies, Henry Creamer of "Strut Miss Lissie" fame, Spencer Williams, Shelton Brymm, Chris Smith, Shelton Brooks, Lew Peyton James P. Johnson, who Will Marion Cook has declared to be the most versatile pianist of the race, Pringer and Donald Haywood, both of whom have already written a number of musical comedy-successes; Bob Warfield of Simms and Warfield, and Edgar Dowell. The younger group have not been overlooked, f or there is work by Lovie Austin, Joseph Trent, Billy Smythe, both Ollman and Jennie Cobb, Lemuel Fowler, a regular member of the house staff of Axelander Robinson and Lloyd Smith. Chicago, Ill., July—Errors in behind Pardone in the first inning cost the Cuban Stars their game with-Kansas City Monarchs here Tuesday. Score: K. C. 2-2-0 0-0-0 Tom O'Rouke Giving Edwards Big Chance Will Be First To Appear At One of New York's Largest Clubs Since Lifting of Ban. New York—Recently at Queensboro Athletic club little Danny Edwards, world's colored be a a mamp, went on to fight everything for his manager, Goo, Moore, said about him. Edwards made sure against Harry Gordon, the boy who defeated him by the K. O. vitaire some time ago. Few believed Edwards would be in trum to put up the kind of battle he did against Gordon at the Queensboro. The truth of the matter is that Danny Edwards went out and won handily from Gordon, locking him up from the first round and only allowing a breathing spell in the last two rounds, but the cards were stacked to give Gordon a whack at the Lynch boy for the championship honors and the best those judges id was to call the battle a draw. A howl that could be heard for many went up from the farses and the crowd knew that Danny had been again denied the fruits of his labor, and that howl did not go up from the troats of colored but white men, who did not have to stretch imaginations to be fair to the little colored fighter. Edwards is the only bantam performing in these parts who can make 116, which gives him prior claim to fight with Villa. Danny met Villa in Boston some months ago and the Bean Town called it one of the greatest fights ever staged there. O'Rouke was accomplishing big things in boxing long before the world ever heard of Tex Rickard, and but for the start made thru the chance given him by Jack Johnson, Rickard would still be running his little saloon out in the desert in Goldfield. Tom O'Rouke never lets slip the opportunity to do something for the colored fighter, and he it was who also threw a scare into the boxing solos when he made an attempt to get the Dampsey-Wills fight. One of the Fastest Games Seen in League Park This Season. Portsmouth, Va., July 18—The Royal Giants of Portsmouth and the Bacharach of Pinners Point hooked up in one of the fastest battles seen in the League Park this season. The villain was featured in many the game-filled stunts, not a man reaching third, until the fifth sinning, when Penn of the Giants reached first on an error, and Briggs was hit by a pitched ball and Josey and Alexander both hit sacrifice flies scoring both runners. In the 6th the Giants added another tally, when Jones landed for two bases and scoring on Elliott's single. In the 5th, the Bacharachs got two runs, when Walker got a free pass, Edwards singled, and Burt singled, and another in the 5th, when Grimes got a free pass and scored on Brown's single, thus tying the score 3 to 3. It was three up, and three down until the eleventh when Briggs, the one-armed outfielder of the Giants, pitched home from first base, ending the Game 4 to 3 in favor Giants put up a great game at short getting many difficult balls. Both pitchers were in great form being very effective in pinches.

Baseball Is Popular In Latin America Baseball is making headway in the Latin-American countries, according to reports received from that section. Two hundred and fifty baseball outfits were recently imported into Yutaean for at a league known as the Socialist Resistance League and which is maintaining several leagues throughout that country. The government printing office in Yutaean has translated and printed into Spanish, baseball rules in effect in this country. A physical director has been sent to this country to qualify as a coach of baseball. Baseball is the most popular game in Cuba, and practically every town and village has its team.

Service) known before the man and woman take the marriage vow. A physical examination, then, by a competent physician, should be prerequisite before the ring is placed upon the finger, and if tuberculosis has been diagnosed, you find a way to abandon precipitated career of married misery and future unhealthy children. Laws to prevent unhealthy people marrying are useless. The element of personal liberty, like that in prohibition, will prevent the true functioning of the law, and clandestine letters of contracts will result. Let the young couple align the misery that surely will result when tuberculosis joins with a throttling-clasp, husband and wife, and finally lays its stranglehold upon the child. Medical science says with a claion voice that a tubercular man or woman should not marry, and this decision should be so prevalent and decisive that he would want to marry until he is thoroughly cured of this disease. Every mother and father loves his or her child. This is a law of nature. Love always protects. The health of the child is always paramount with the parent, but ignorance or the lack of information relative to the development of disease quite often offsets the natural wishes of good health for the child. The result is that the child is born with resistance and hereditary defects and is susceptible to tubercular parent. Science has proven that though tuberculosis is not hereditary, the child of tubercular parents inherits a low resistance of the body, and the child then becomes a prey to any disease with which it comes in contact as the days go on. Is this fair to the child? Doomed by its o.o. parents to a life of sickness and misery before it has a chance to help itself. This may be a consequence of facts there. Special workers and physicians see it every day. Health information and education are the only means Love will find to stop this onslaught on innocent babies. Again, experience says that for the good of the child a tubercular man or woman should not marry. A young child is always at a disadvantage in life without the watchful care and nurture of its mother. A motherless child should have the pity of the world. Tuberculosis is a serious disease that their early death. This is due to the transformation of an inactive and early case of tuberculosis into a severe and active one by the strain and stress of pregnancy, often we see a blushing bride blossom and become fruitful, and soon die, leaving a child handicapped and motherless, and a burden to society. Again, experience proves that a tubercular man or woman should not marry. Children have self-interests and sex interests, must and can be subordinated to the interests of the child and society, if health education and information be disinfected; and the picture of misery and sickness be so forcefully presented, that protective reasoning will overpower unreasoning love. Rev.C. P. Dixon Stirs Audience of 3000 Wilson, N. C., July 19—Preaching here to an audience estimated at 2,000 persons of both races that occupied all available space in a huge tobacco warehouse, Rev. Calvin P. Dixon (Black Billy Sunday) chose for his subject, "Come and see the place." The text was taken from John 5:16. The life, suffering, death and resurrection of Christ was portrayed with spiritual fervor seldom if ever witnessed in this section. His discourse was the embodiment of scriptural truths that were laden with power which had great effect upon the congregation. In the afternoon morning he delivered a lecture to men and women only, choosing for his subject "The future of the Negro." D.ixon, altho, acknowledging that Negroes are the progenitors of Ham, denied that we are cursed people, The Negro, he said, was brought here 304 years ago and sold for provisions. They knew nothing, they were uncivilized and naked and today they own churches, schools and property of various kind. We have never produced a traitor to this country and God forbid that we ever will. We are here to help make conditions better. He deplored the race migration north and urged the colored people to remain in the south and settle the question here. The Bellevue and Allied Hospital of New York City have decided to train Negro nurses. This is one of the best opportunities for colored young women, who have at least one year of high school training, and are between the ages of 18 and 35. It will be much better, of course, if they have a high school diploma. In New Colored High School Section, Marriage is a laudable social institution. It involves not only the man and woman who are married, but also the children born under this contract, and society at large. This aspect of marriage is most important in tuberculosis. The child and society have interests to conserve in this, contract the important as those of the married person, of which are the health of the child and the health of the community. Tuberculosis is a social disease. It is infectious, and close contact spreads the malady. To limit this disease and prevent its development in others is the chief aim of civilized communities today. Should a tubercular man or woman marry? Does the resulting offspring of such a marriage inoculate the child? Does child bearing revive dormant or early tuberculosis in the woman and hasten her death? These are the important questions to answer. If the answer is "yes," then society should know the course to pursue in order to limit the spread of this disease, and each individual man or woman should be taught the correct answer in order that each may act to the best interest of the child and to society at large. How, then does medical science answer these questions? Medical science has found that tuberculosis is infectious—that is, a healthy individual, coming in close contact with another suffering with tuberculosis, invariably takes the dust particles in the air or by actual personal contact through kissing, or the use of the same spoon, dish or glass. The tubercular germ enters the mouth and proceeds on its pathway to the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs. Marriage invariably brings about this close contact. It is important, therefore, that the presence or absence of tuberculosis be OCEAN REST Is open for the care of Mothers and Children, also Pienics and Outings Calls, Call Mrs. Goo, Goo Collett, 360 East Bute Street, or Phone 33755.

C., July 19—The demand for colored ministers of the gospel in the United States is 1,500 a year, according to statistics collated today by Howard University under the supervision of the Department of the Interior. Last year less than 100 colored men graduated from any kind of training school in the country for preachers and of this number less than 10 were college graduates. The average training of the other 90 for the colored ministry was about one-half years of grade school work. There are about 50,000 colored churches of all denominations in the United States. Shortage of preachers is illustrated by the fact that there is one white minister to every 889 white people, most of the latter being graduated from theological institutions. Howard University is one of the few colleges in the country maintaining a school of religion for colored people, the number of graduates averaging between 5 and 10 a year. At the present time this school of religion receives no appropriations from the Government. Asks Praise For Porters And Waiters We have so often read at the bottom of menu cards: "Please report any discourse to the management," or "Any lack of attention on the part o employees should be reported to the superintendent," and such like other threats against the poor working devils, always adverse criticism—that we often easily pleased to copy the following from a menu card of the Pennsylvania R. D. dining car service: "Passengers are requested to report any unusual service or attention on the part of employees. This enables us to recognize the exceptional efficiency which we wish to encourage in our service." That is, they want people to "tell," not merely when they have a kick but when they see something praise does well, say when the employee does well, or goes out of the way and renders the little superregulatory services. This is just as ti should be: a request for praise, not for complaints. We always wondered why anybody ever thought you had to ask for complaints anyhow. Complaints come; commendations are forgetful. Anybody will de member when he is served poorly; they are served well, take it for granted and for good. You may do a thousand beneficial comments—but now, just you commit one crime, or even an error. That is the reason why some abnormal minds turn to wrong doing; they at least get more attention than they get in doing right.

The bill which Senator Cappen introduced last session was prepared by an attorney for the American Federation of Women's Clubs, white, and contained the following clause: "No license to marry shall be issued where applicants are members of different races; that is to say, marriage between members of white and black races or of the white and yellow races, shall be valid." While Southern sentiment supported the clause, the bill, it is said, was prepared by a woman attorney in Indiana, the state which first sponsored the measure. M. C. Capper will re-introduce the bill at the coming session of Congress, but during the recess of Congress he has been able to get a line on the reaction to that measure, and the important amendments will likely be proposed to meet the majority opinion as he says he finds it.

"IT TAKES ADVERTISING TO MAKE THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS GO ROUND." Some one has written a business story on "The Importance of Being Known." Good—and it is just as important to be certain that you are not so cocksure that everybody knows all about you and your product that you get it into your noggin that you can cut down on your advertising and save the difference. Many a man has tried that line and found himself sidetracked on one of the back streets and far away from the main arteries of trade. There may be really sincere mortals with no more spark of ambition than you would find in a dead battery. It is true a lot of splendid folks go through life and are content to cut no more of an individual figure than one of the hard working little colonists in an ant hill. Everybody can recall little business that never get any more than a neighborhood rating. They simply exist. That's all. Bigger profits are only dreamed about. No action is taken that might make the dreams come true. It takes advertising to make the wheels of success go around and a product of merit. plus convincing, persistent advertising is bound to win lasting goodwill and enjoy consistent demand. Bayer might take the ground that everybody knows that Aspirin is a Bayer product, originally dedicated by Bayer to suffering humanity away, back in 1900. Bayer might bask in the knowledge that more millions have been spent in making "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" better known all over the world than all other helps for the relief of pain put together. But—Bayer prefers it to be known that there is "no closed season" for advertising as far as Aspirin is concerned. Like Tennyson's "Brook" Bayer advertising goes on, spring, summer, autumn, winter, backed by an appropriation for newspapers every month of the twelve—a generous appropriation a great many papers share. "Just because it is summer don't push those Bayer Counter Displays into the background," is the word that Bayer sends to the druggists in this territory. "Hot weather headaches and summer colds make 'Bayer Tablets of Aspirin' salable all the time." And that is a sales pointer that it will be well to try, for it "ties" the druggist to the big Bayer campaign in the Star.

PER CENTAGE OF NEGRO LABOR IN NORTHERN INDUSTRY LARGE ACCORDING TO GOVT. REPORT Analysis of 273 Payrolls of Large Employers Disclose the Inclusion of Heavy Percentage of Migrants Both Skilled and Unskilled. Accurate figures describing the migratory phases of Negro labor coming direct from the South during the year ending April 20, 1923, were nearly as difficult to acquire as they were during the intensive migration during the wartime shortage. Nevertheless, the Department was able to observe 11,747 Negro employees among the whole number of 60,421 on hand April 30, 1923, and to make estimates as to the number included therein by the employers could positively identified as having moved northward into employment during the past year. Of all the 11,747 observed it was for them that 4,702 or 28.1 per cent had come direct from the South during the year. From another viewpoint, taking the whole number as a base and discounting .06 per cent thereof as being impracticable of distribution, the Department estimates that the distribution of migrants among the states listed can be approximately indicated by the following percentages: Ohio, 37.26 per cent; Pennsylvania, 21.63 per cent; Michigan, 10.55; New Jersey, 6.4 per cent; New York, 4.76 per cent; Missouri, 1.74 per cent; Illinois, 4.49 per cent; Kentucky, 4.36 per cent; Connecticut, 3.04 per cent; Maryland, 1.30 per cent; Wisconsin, 8.5 per cent; California, 32 per cent; Oklahoma, 26 per cent; Nondistributable, 66 per cent; Illinois, 1000.90 per cent. As a final note in the migratory feature of Nerium lichen, the Department encountered to certify what proportion of payroll employees, as of April 30, 1923, could be regarded as migrants, and the following results are deemed as reliable approximations; New Jersey, 62.19 per cent; Oklahoma, 54.54 per cent; Michigan, 52.27 per cent; Ohio, 36.01 per cent; California, 30.00 per cent; Pennsylvania, 29.82 per cent; Connecticut, 20.82 per cent; Missouri, 19.08 per cent; Wisconsin, 19.14; Kentucky, 14.91 per cent; Maryland, 12.03 per cent; New York, 11.88 per cent; Illinois, 5.17 per cent. Delaware, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts and West Virginia were omitted from the last conclusion or account of lack of authentic reports from employers. This last conclusion points strongly to two conditions which evidently have a tremendous influence upon migrants, namely, (1) wages and types of employment available in northern states, and (2) geographical location of the points considered by incoming migrants. No doubt, direct touch of trunk lines from southern points and the amount of railroad fare required have their effect upon those workers who desire to move northward; and, on the other hand, distinctive types of work with attractive wages form another inducement. Thus, the reports indicated that migrants frequently come to border states and after working a while use a portion of their earnings to remove to points of vintage further north. This particular feature is, perhaps, largely productive of cause of turnover, which was not strongly noticeable in the states furthest north. ROYAL SILVER LEAP CLUB The Royal Silver Leaf Club held its regular meet at the residence of Miss Olia Davis. Important matters were discussed.

Good Material, good workmanship, perfect fit and moderate prices characterize our clothes. Washington, D. C., July 19—An unexpected phase in the placement of Negro labor passing from the South to northern industries is the creation of skilled workers of this class. The Department of Labor made this announcement today from a survey conducted by Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conclusion, who has been detailed as an observer of the migration now in progress. The results accrue from a careful analysis of payroll statistics of 273 employers of Negro labor in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin from these indicate a heavy inward influence in discriminating to whether those employed were recent migrants or from the class that were already located in the North. However, sufficient specific classification is given to suggest that the South is not only yielding up a great mass of unskilled workers, but a remarkable number of skilled hands are finding employment. Distribution is difficult as to the source of the Negro labor industry, whether it is directly from the South or is a left-over from the 1916-1919 shift; but the conclusion is safely drawn that the mass of this labor emerges from southern sources and its movement is covered in less than five years. Many employers replying to requests indicate that they were Negro labor, but were withholding information as to the number that were purely of Southern origin. Allowances are made for driers, who are already North, taking change of locative employ-ment, a disposition strongly characteristic of this labor. Along the New England coast, many cases were disclosed wherein Portuguese black men are employ-ment. These, of course, are rare unpresent immigration restric-rions and are represented only by few hundred units. Inclusion Comparison were made between 251 Negro workers, distributable to groups of 10,794 skilled and 577 unskilled workers, as of April 30, 1922, and 60,421 Negro workers, distributable into groups of 14,591 skilled and 45,470 unskilled employees as of April 30, 2022, as reported by 275 firms engaged in such typical pursuits as are necessary to produce iron and steel, foodstuffs, leather, machinery, tobacco, automobiles, paper, copper goods, boilers, billiard brasses, brass articles, chain, brick, saws, wire, railroad equipment, glass, textiles, cinnamon, paper, and varied other duties of necessity and comfort, together with numerous occupations construction work, railroad work and transportation. During the year for which observations were made among the 30 firms listed with the Department, Negro workers were increased in payrolls by 18,050 men from 4157 and 13,993 were skilled and unskilled workers, respectively. The total per cent increase was 4260 and the percent of increase of skilled and unskilled work respectively was 38.51 and 44. Based upon a descending scale, the total increase in percentage of Negro workers taken on in the various states were: Connecticut, 88.4; New Jersey, 74.82; Indiana, 70.7; Ohio, 69.93; California, 60.67; Pennsylvania, 64.91; Michigan, 65.7; Wisconsin, 58.24; Maryland, 45.14; Illinois, 45.14; Kansas, 40.5; New York, 37.19; Massachusetts, 26.09; Kentucky, 24.00; Missouri, 18.30; Oklahoma, 14.10; Delaware, 2.63. West Virginia showed slight decrease in the per cent of Negro workers. buge marks were reached in the increase of Negro skilled workers, advanced by 188.86 per cent in Maryland; 90.48 per cent in Connecticut; 70.73 per cent in Michigan; 65.97 per cent in Kansas; 63.9 per cent in Ohio; 60.00 per cent in California; 43.68 per cent in Pennsylvania; 39.94 per cent in Illinois; 33.33 per cent in Wisconsin; 60.00 per cent in New York; 18.18 per cent in Indiana; and 13.93 per cent in Kentucky. New Jersey and Alabama showed respective increases of 12.96 per cent and 3.85 per cent in the number of Negro occupations taken on in the skilled occupations during the year, while 5.37 Virginia showed a loss of 28.38 per cent. Unskilled workers are likely ahead of their skilled associates in a remarkable increase during the year. Returns indicate an increase of this type of Neroy labor: 102.86 per cent in Indiana; 88.58 per cent in Connecticut; 85.15 per cent in New Jersey; 77.52 per cent in Pennsylvania 121 per cent in Ohio; 68.00 per cent in California; 62.48 per cent in Michigan; 60.48 per cent in Wisconsin; 46.69 per cent in Illinois; 39.79 per cent in New York; 27.13 per cent in Kansas; 27.67 per cent in Kentucky; 27.15 per cent in Kentucky; 16.17 per cent in Missouri; and 15.16 per cent in Oklahoma.

Judge Elbert H. Gary Sees Dawn of New Era in the Steel Industry. Washington, D. C., July 13. Within three months from the date of the signally important telegram to Judge Elbert H. Gary sent by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary- treasurer of Howard University, in reply to Mr. Gary's suggestion upon the occasion that alien labor be utilized to supply labor shortages in the industrial plants of the North, Dr. Scott has the satisfaction of seeing his suggestion that Negro labor be used to supply such shortages adopted by the great U. S. Steel Corporation. In an interview, Friday, July 6 Judge Gary advises that the United States Steel Corporation is planning to abolish the 12-hour day in the steel industry. He states that the main factor which will make this possible will be the industry centers of Negroes from the South. Judge Gary also hopes that there may be some labor supply from Mexico and from some of the European countries. When asked what had been the extent of the influx of labor from the South and the outside countries, Judge Gary said he had no figures but believed that one of the most important factors in the steel industry was the migration of Negroes from the South. Judge Gary estimates that the change from a 12-hour day would require 60,000 additional laborers and would increase the cost of the finished product by 15 per cent. The decision to do away with the long day, Mr. Gary said, was made in recognition of the growing public sentiment in favor of such a step. GIRL RESERVES BACK FROM CONFERENCE Norfolk Delegates Report An Inspiring and Helpful Session at King's Mountain. To be assured that the Girl Reserve Conferences are proving a most successful venture on the part of the Young Women's Christian Association, one has only to talk with the conference delegates. The conference this year for this section was held at Kings Mountain N.C., and Norfolk sent the following delegates: The Miss Janet Hendricks, Ellen Brown and Michel Roberts, the Girl Reserve, Miss Louise Cowling, representing the Girl Reserve Committee and their secretary; Bessie M. Butler. It was indeed a happy experience to rise at the ringing of a bell, jump into bloomers and middy and a few moments later run with the other 120 delegates to take the setting up exercises. They came breakfast, devotions, bible class, recreation, council hour and many other activities, one as interesting as the other. Special features of interest were a singing contest, world Fellowship Pageant, and on the closing night the Candle Light service. Every delegate left feeling inspired not only to "Follow the Gleam" themselves but to interest others in joining this Kingdom of Friendly Citizens. The delegates will make their reports at the first Vesper Services at the opening of the fall Sen- An Increase of 450 Annually Necessary to Bring Supply Up To Requirements. Washington, D. C., July 18—Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work, himself a physician and former president of the American Medical Association, calls attention to the alarming lack of facilities for the training of Negro doctors, dentists and nurses. There is a white physician to every 553 white child in the country, but only one colored doctor to every 3,194 Negroes. To dentists, the ratios are even worse: white, 1 to 2,970; Negro, 1 to 2,050. There are but two Negro medical schools in the country—that of Howard University at Washington, which also has departments of dentistry and pharmacy, and the Mcherry College of Medicine. These schools have improved rapidly and are ranked as "Class A" institutions; but for quantity production they are painfully inadequate. Twice as many candidates as are admitted aply annually. The Freedman's Hospital maintains a training school for nurses, but is vastly overtaxed. This hospital and Howard University are supported by the Government under the Interior Department. There are many white medical schools open to the Negroes, but only about a dozen graduate from them each year. The colored race now has a total of 65 women physicians, surgeons, osteopaths in the country, accorded the figures just合适 the Department of Interior through the Howard University. There are 5 colored women who practice dentistry in the United States. Other statistical facts collected show that the average yearly increase of colored physicians is 68 when the race actually needs to take care of the health of its people an annual increase of at least 450. The average number of additional colored dentists graduating every year, Howard University officials claim is 63, while there should be no difference in the number of with regard to the trained nurses, 90 being turned out each year when 600 are needed to administer to the sick among the colored people. One of the interesting features of the data collected by the University is that there are more colored physicians and dentists practicing in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Cleveland and Chicago, than in all the 16 Southern States combined where fully 8,000,000 colored people live. tember the second. tender the second.

Moore, Associate General Secretary International Committee, (Continued on page 8)] The Vamp and the Virgin A Serial Story of Negro Life and Love Start at the Beginning THREE colored students sat gaily talking in a dormitory at Harvard. It was eight o'clock in the evening, the lights were out, and the room was dark, except for the glow of the coal fire in the grate. The three boys were sophomores, about twenty years old, and in face, voice and manner they represented the best type of colored youth. "I can't understand," said one of the three, who looked more innocent than the others, "how some men make fine records in preparatory school and then do so poorly at college. Now, what's behind Will Reese's failure?" "A woman," said Joe Grimes, ed still nearer. "Nonsense. How about Jim breathlessly." "A woman," said Tom Storeham. "All tight now?" he asked Blacks failure. "Yes," she said with a smile that took him of his feet, and a "Piffie! But Dave Hart and Nick Jones are barely up with the class." "A woman again," said Joe Gowen. "Oh talk sense, man. You've got women on the brain." "Nay, nay, Virgin," said Joe. "And I'm not speaking of women, in general. The same woman has ruined those four fellows." "One woman?" said the Virgin. "You're crazy. No woman can ruin four men. I'm only one man, and no woman alive could take me away from my work." "Not even Trixie Marley?" asked the Virgin. "Who's Trixie Marley?" asked the Virgin. "She's the girl who's put four good men on the bum" laughed Joe. "You don't know her because you've kept away from women since you came to college. And it's good humor. You've made Benatrix Marley you be just like the other fellows." "But, Joe, you've evidently survived her influence." "Yes, but, only because I had been well stung long before I met her, and was therefore well seasoned. Benatrix likes 'om fresh and tender like von." "Oh, I'm not so easy!" snapped the Virgin. "I've never met any Boston girls and I don't intend to, but I'll guarantee there's no woman in Boston or anywhere else who can make me forget that I'm here for study, not for foolishness." "You talk like a child, Virgin," she said. "I'm not the only woman of women is the they wear dresses and long hair. Your heart's as fresh as a baby's. I hate to see you meet Beatrix Marley." "Oh, she can't be so awful wicked," said the Virgin. "No," said Tom Storeham, "she's what the world calls good. But she's a combination of Venus and Cleopatra and some more. If she had the chance she'd take kings away from their thrones." "She won't take me away from my college work," said the Virgin. "She's never meet her, for I don't go to a university in Boston where I meet a girl." "What's the noise?" said Joe Grimes suddenly? As he spoke there was a great tumult and a sound of scuffling in the street. The three boys rushed to the window. "Gee fellows, we've forgotten!" cried the Virgin. "I's Bloody Monday Night and here we sit talking about women instead of beating freshmen. The three boys hurried into sweaters and old clothes, and in five minutes they ran out of the dormitory and plunged into the annual class fight between the sophomores and the freshmen. It was a wild scene, with the students fighting, fighting, and rolling in the mud, and the trolleys trying to get through without running over them. The Virgin soon lost Tom and Joe in the whirl of the fight, which grew fiercer every minute. All at once he found himself, with two other sophomores, to try to fight. They fought about fifty freshmen crowding upon them. "Leven this way!" shouted the Virgin. The sophomores heard him and charged down upon the group of freshmen. For a few minutes the pavement was a whirlpool, with frightened passersby scattering for safety. Then the fight surged back to the street. The Virgin was wrestling with a big freshman, who persisted in clinging to his back, when from the middle of the churning arose a piercing scream. He shook off the freshman and dived into the whirl. Just beside the curb, knocked about by fighters, who seemed unaware of her, was a woman, vainly trying to make her way to the pavement. The Virgin made his way to her taking several hard blows as he did so. He grasped her waist and hold up his hand. She went limp on his arm. "Hey, there you fool freshmen!" he cried. "Can't you see it's a woman?" He got her out of the crowd and carried her into the trolley transfer station. Not knowing just what to do with a fainted woman, he called some women who had sought the station for safety. They took off her hat and the Virgin stood dumbstruck. The girl was colored. She stood, looking up, while woman hurried for water. She was the color of an olive, with a rather aquiline nose, long, shining eyebrows, and bow-shaped lips. Even in a faint she was pretty, her cheeks were round, her hair sparkled in the light, and her figure had long, graceful lines. He could not take his eyes from her. Finally she stirred, and her eyes slowly opened. To the Virgin it was like the slow rise of the hair that those large black eyes, with their fur, faded upon him. Her fell a curtain "crying" We moved down his arms and book. He moved "All tight now?" he asked breathlessly. "Yes," she said with a smile that took him off his feet, and a rich, refined voice. "You were my rescuer. "How did you get caught in the mob?" "I was watching it all from the pavement when the crowd swept down upon us. It swept me back into the street. I'd have been badly hurt if it had not been for you." She looked at him penetratingly. He became suddenly conscious that he was covered with mud and blood. "Court I'm a sad sight to be talking to a young lady." "Oh, no, you look just like a thousand Harvard boys to night. You seem to have done your full share for the sophomores. "How did you know I was a soph?" "I heard you shout "Eleven this way!" just before I was engulfed by the crowd. And I'm sure I know your name—you are Christopher Bowling?" "Who told you to that?" he asked, delighted. "No, I know Joe Grimes. Tom Storehouse, Will Reese and Nick Hartwell, all sophomores. There is only one colored sophomore who I didn't know, and I know his name, Christopher Bowling. When I saw you and heard your class yell, I knew you must be he." "Good!" said the Virgin, again hanging on the hustle of those eyes. "I'd like to see that you get home safely, if I didn't look like a muddy tramp." "You can change your clothes." "You mean you outwitted me I do?" "Grace I course I will. Did you think I wished me be rid of my rescuer so soon? Besides, it won't hurt me to rest a little longer after that shaking up." The Virgin rushed out of the station, skirted the still fighting mass, and made a bee-line for the dormitory. It did not occur to him that this was disloyalty to the peerless class of nineteen-eleven, the like of which Harvard had never seen before, the class which now needed every man to help defeat the impudent class of nineteen-eleven. He had taken hold of the Virgin was older than the class of nineteen-eleven, older than Harvard, and as old as the world. He threw off his clothes, washed dressed and in exactly ten minutes was back at the trolley station looking into the lady's eyes with bated breath. "Hope I'm a little more presentable now. You know it's strange you know so much about me. I'm never gone anywhere and never met a single lady here." This is the lady said. "God Christoph said the lady, 'yet it is my individual gain, for I shall have the honor of being the first Boston lady to meet my rescuer, Mr. Christopher Bowling." "And I—well, I'm simply carried away with meeting you Miss—Miss— "Marley," she said, with a flashing smile. "Miss Bentrix Marley." (To Be Continued Next Week) DR.

It is a volume which will be treasured by Dr. and Mrs. Moorland. At the close of the exercises Dr. William T. Nelson of Cincinnati, Ohio who worked so hard along with Dr. J. A. Green of the Dayton Ohio Y. M. C. A. to make the affair a success informed Dr Moorland and the assembled delegates that it has been decided to establish the Jesse E. Moorland Foundation for the training of Y. M. C. A. Securities, and that a good proportion of the proposed foundation, which will amount to $10,000, has already been subscribed. A special committee has been appointed to take charge of the Moorland Foundation Fund and to serve as trustees. Those named on the Committee were: Dr W. T. Nelson, Cincinnati; J. H. Mc Traw, Atlanta; K. E. Gordon, Dallas; Henry E. Trayor, New York City; R. E. Trayor, New York City; R. P. Hamlin, Washington; D. C. President John Davis, Institute, Va.; C. H.

Nelson, Chairman; B. W. Overton, Secretary; F. B. Ransom, Indianapolis, Treasurer. It was decided that with the assistance of the schools, and colleges, and city associations, and interested individuals, both the white and colored, the Committee would in all probability reach the goal of $10,000 by November 1, the date of Dr. Moorland's retirement. By the end of the year the schools and colleges, a committee was formed with President John Hope of Moorhouse College, Atlanta, Ga., as chairman. Dr W. T. Nelson of Cincinnati was chosen to head the campaign among the city associations. Dr. Moorland, under a regulation of the Y. M. C. A. is retiring from active labors as the Senior Secretary of the Army and wonderful record of service was most fittingly recognized and honored.

Blackwell, of Ashland, chairman of the State Committee of the commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, at the highest of several prominent colored citizens of Richmond, members of the commission, recently took up with the Norfolk and Western Railway Company the matter of separate toilet facilities in coaches used by colored passengers on the Norfolk Ball trains between Norfolk and Richmond. Holk and letter to Dr. Blackwell, well aware of June 27, Mr. A. C. Bleshes, vice-president of the company, states the Norfolk and Western will proceed at once to install separate toilet facilities in coaches on the trains mentioned at an expenditure approximating $3,000. This is a sample of what intelligent friendly co-operation can do in promoting inter-racial good will. The method is worked in this case by the State Committee to the major contribution of the inter-racial commission to the solution of the general question of race relations. The commission does not say to any individuals. "This must you do in relation to the Negro." It asks that one thing: That in any community where race relations are an issue, or any injustice apparently prevails, the best people take the thing seriously in hand and seek a Christian solution of every problem as it arises.

A. of Norfolk, Virginia, part of the largest organization of women in the world that has for its purpose service for girls, is offering advantages aiding the recreational, spiritual, and educational pursuits to the colored girls and women of the that city. The pioneer colored W. Y. W. A. worker in Norfolk was Laura Davis, Titus, Hampton 76, a woman of fine personality, beautiful spirit, fine executive ability, loyalty, perseverance, and indomitable will. Traveling through the North with General Armstrong, the Hampton Singer often found quarters with Young Women's Christian Associations. It was at this time, as one of the singers, that Mrs. Titus saw and felt the splendid Christian influences surrounding white and colored girls in these different homes. So impressed was she than in 1008 she called a number of Christian women of Norfolk in conference. There was general agreement that a W. Y. W. A. branch for colored girls should be started in the city. Mrs. Titus was elected president and a large house was rented and comfortably furnished. Mrs. George Davis (a former Hampton student) was instrumental in having one room beautifully furnished. Mrs. Titus has a keen interest in every phase of community uplift. She has given capable service in regard to proper recreational facilities, especially for girls. A group of colored women met daily during the war in the Armstrong School and the Y. W. C. A. and cut and sewed for soldiers. More than a thousand garments were made for the Red Cross under the Titus and all were "O. K." When the influenza was at its height an emergency hospital was established in the Booker T. Washington High School, with a corps of teachers and friends.

Because of its steady growth and development, a charter was granted the Association by the State and the local "Y" became part of the National Association. Its activities are under the direction and guidance of Mrs. Titus for fourteen years, during which period she introduced musical, recreational, and health programs and organized classes and groups in serving, cooking, Bible study, art and practical nursing, as well as employment bureau thus carrying out the purpose of the Y.

At the present time she is chairman of the membership committee of the Phyllis Wheaton Branch which is functioning well and adding force and inspiration to the local Association. In 1906 the National Association of Colored Women's Club met in New York. There was no Virginia Federation. To make the State eligible as a member ten clubs had to be named. It was Mrs. Titus who helped form this number of clubs and who later represented the State at the National Association meeting. Mrs. Titus was also active in the purhses of land by the Virginia Federation for the Virginia Industrial School and is a member of the Board of Managers of that institution. In these movements Mrs. Titus had strong support of the best women of the community, who were willing and ready to help in every way possible to make whatever she suggested go "over the tops." Her appeals always met with a hearty response. Ever since she was graduated from Hampton, nearly fifty years ago, she has wrought well. Her influence cannot be measured in words. The Lekies Old Folks' Home w organized in the fall of 1891 by Mrs. Titus and a group of other women from the various churches of the city. Their object was service for the aged women of the community. This institution stands as a monument to loving thought and faithful service. On account of its rapid growth it be. Misses Ruth V.

E. B DuBois, of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People and editor of its organ, The Crisis, and an author of wide reputation, stirred up a hornet's nest in Philadelphia, recently, speaking to a large and cultured audience, when he came out flatfootedly for "segregation and jim-crowing" of the race, causing the audience "to act as if the fire department had turned the ice-water hose upon it." Dr. DuBois is a graduate of Fisk University, and is reported to have said: "I am proud of jim-crow schools because my product is a product of one." This threw the audience, which came to worship, clean off its stride. Dr. DuBois is reported to have justified his position by the following statement: "We have segregated hospitals, separate churches, Race lodges, insurance companies advertising racial identity, our own undertakers, and, finally, graveyards; where only our blood is buried, and I, therefore, glory in separate schools." This position is stated bluntly enough to invite all of the criticism it is capable of standing for. There is plenty of room for discussion, as there are many of people who stand at one or the other end of the segregation and jim-crowism business. We need our own home, social, church, business and, professional development, and can only have it by standing together as the Jews do, while there are matters of Constitutional rights, privileges and immunities which require that we should enjoy them in common with others, or keep them alive against the time when we can enjoy them. It is necessary to keep the two sorts of rights, privileges and immunities separate and distinct, and without confusion, and neither white nor colored thinkers, ever do this, generally, they inextricably jumble Constitutional rights, privileges and immunities with personal rights, privileges and immunities, and create endless friction and strife by so doing. As a matter of fact, we shall not go astray at all in our contitions if we stick to the proposition that rights, privileges and immunities not enumerated to the citizen by the Federal Constitution, and by the constitutions of the several States, are reserved to the citizen, and may be described as social and personal rights. In the rights enumerated by the Constitution all citizens stand upon equality, as well as in those reserved, in law. The distinctions are material and therefore vital and should not be confused, as is generally Editorial Page of Before he got into the Tombs prison, in New York, in many public expressions, and in the general conduct of his business as President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Marcus Garvey had shown a disposition to draw the color line inside the race, which was one of the most troublesome of the many things that were always getting him in trouble, but he did not understand it that way. In a recent issue of the New York World he is quoted as saving: those of us who desire and labor for har- us and helpful race relations in the South- states, and who grieve over the conditions in create general unrest and the migration any workers to other and less disturbed of the country, have been greatly wor- but not dismayed or cast down by the s at Tuskegee Institute, which have died fast upon the settlement of the ques- of selecting the personnel of the staff of government hospital, located at Tuskegee Marcus Garvey Draws the Color Line "Most of my troubles are the result of the efforts of my opponents of the colored race. These are the light-colored Negroes who think the Negro can always develop in this country. They also resent the fact that I, a black Negro, am a leader. "Then there are the Negro politicians who also resent my leadership. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has 900 branches throughout the world, 500 of which, with a membership of 2,500,000, are in this country. It is as a leader of these that my power is feared. "I would have become an American citizen in September. Because of this, and fearing me, my enemies have sought to have me convicted so that I cannot become naturalized." Marcus Garvey should have become a citizen of the United States long ago and before he aspired to be the leader of American Negroes. We do not believe that there was any opposition to him in the race because he is very black; there was only such opposition as he created by taking the attitude that there was such. He made his own troubles. His failure was due entirely to his inability to put a proper value upon himself, to secure capable men to carry out his ideas instead of trying to boss the entire job himself, and his suspicion of all persons with whom he surrounded himself, tending to make those enemies who desired to be his friends insofar that all mail matter reaching the offices of the association, to whomsoever addressed, had first to be opened by his order and subjected to his censorship. Dr. Booker T. Washington was just as dictatorial and self-centered as Marcus Garvey, but he knew how to select associates and assistants who were capable and honest, and he stuck to such as long as they served his purposes, when they did not undertake to oppose his policies and wishes, and when they no longer served his purposes, he did not hesitate to throw them down and throw them down good and hard. He was a leader who knew, as every general must, to go to gather and officer and direct his army, and he succeeded; Marcus Garvey did not know how to do this, except in the matter of gathering the army, and he failed because he did not know how to do it. He has himself to blame for his monumental and tragical failure. If he had known men and had been more capable in dealing with men and the vast moneys entrusted to him for certain purposes, he would not have failed. We do not believe him to have been dishonest but incapable of handling the men and money gathered by his genius for organization. Terrorism at Tuskegee Those of us who desire and labor for harmonius and helpful race relations in the Southern States, and who grieve over the conditions which create general unrest and the migration of many workers to other and less disturbed parts of the country, have been greatly worried but not dismayed or cast down by the events at Tuskegee Institute, which have crowded fast upon the settlement of the question of selecting the personnel of the staff of the Government hospital, located at Tuskegee Institute, but to be controlled and operated by the Federal Government, and which continue to develop as we go along. The hospital was built for the care and treatment of disabled Negro veterans of the World War, and all the psychology governing such a proposition suggests that the personnel of the hospital staff should be Negroes, especially as the laws of Alabama do not allow of a mixed personnel; it must be all of one color. But the Governor of Alabama and Congressman Jeffers, of the Tuskegee district, have led the protest against making the personnel of the hospital staff Negroid. They want it to be white. And they have been reinforced in their protest by a committee of citizens of Tuskegee, among the names of which we find that of Mr. W. W. Campbell, a life-long friend of Dr. Washington and a member of the trustee board of the school, and this committee has been enforced by the alleged 500 Klausens of Alabama, 700 of whom paraded the town and marched by the grounds of the Institute, "while in the distance was the flare of the fiery cross, forty-five feet high, symbol of the Klan." What then? Principal Moton is said to be away from Tuskegee Institute, "on vacation, location unknown" Dr. Kenney, resident physician of Tuskegee Institute, who was slated to be chief surgeon of the hospital, is reported to have fled to New York with his family, and John Calhoun, Jr., who reported as the accountant of the hospital, found it too uncomfortable and left the town the afternoon of his arrival. And President Harding has been appealed to for troops to protect the Government property and those connected with it, which have been threatened with violence, and secret service men have been detailed to do so. President Harding has given his word that the staff of the hospital shall be entirely composed of Negroes, while the white people of Alabama, backed by the Governor and 60,000 Klansmen, say that it shall be composed of white persons. That makes a square issue. Which will back down and take to the tall timbers? And why should the white people of Alabama create a situation of terrorism like that they have created about the personnel of a Federal hospital for disabled Negro soldiers, over which neither the State nor the Tuskegee Institute has any authority what- ever? It looks much like "starting something" on a big scale simple to intensify existing trouble and to make more. The people of the South cannot have peace, happiness and prosperity as long as such things as the terrorism that rules at Tuskegee Institute over a Government right to select the personnel of a hospital staff for its disabled soldiers is possible. It needs no prophet to reach such a conclusion. And more's the pity that such things do happen in the South as a running issue. clearly understood. He must realize that the newspaper supports him in its business as he does it by his patronage; that when a newspaper has the confidence of a community to the extent that the community believes more or less in that paper, then he is the gainer when that paper boosts his business. That when a community says "such and such a paper said this" and believes it, that community will believe it him when he uses the paper as a medium of getting before them.

From the same source we are also informed that the increase of Negro dentists averages no higher than that of the doctors, when an annual increase of 500 is required to properly care for our teeth; and that the increase of trainees is 90 a year, when we should be producing them at the rate of 600 annually to administer to the race's sick. Making due allowances for the usual disparity between facts and statistics, these figures are still given as a jolt. They knock every particle of foundation from under the prevailing notion that an over-majority of our young college men is preparing to practice medicine, and to enter an already over-crowded field. Just at a time when the notion was becoming popular that too many of our young men were entering the medical profession to the exclusion of teaching, preaching and the pursuit of trades and commerce, for the eventual good of the race, the Department of Interior issues a statement based on statistics compiled by Howard University informing us that the average annual increase of Negro physicians is only 63, when an increase of 450 is necessary, if the ailments of the race are to be looked after by its own doctors. From the same source we are also informed that the increase of Negro dentists averages no higher than that of the doctors, when an annual increase of 500 is required to properly care for our teeth; and that the increase of trained nurses is 90 a year, when we should be producing them at the rate of 600 annually to administer to the race's sick. Making due allowances for the usual disparity between facts and statistics, these figures still give us a jolt. They knock every particle of foundation from under the prevailing notion that an over-majority of our young college men is preparing to practice medicine, and to enter an already over-crowded field. But what is more startling, is that the report adds that in five large cities, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Cleveland and Chicago, there are more Negroes practicing medicine and dentistry than in all the sixteen Southern States combined, where fully 8,000,000 colored people live. These five cities than a million Negro has more Negro preside no more in the no more charity hospital strong competition its patronage, than the South have.

Yet this population has more Negro physicians and dentists to administer to its needs, in spite of its numerous charity hospitals, free clinics and the strong competition of the white physician for its patronage, than all the colored people in the South have. It is reasonable to assume that this disproportionate ratio of colored doctors to the population of the cities mentioned, and the colored doctors to all the Negroes in the South holds true in cities of lesser size. It is this crowding of physicians in the cities that has given rise to the notion that the medical profession in so far as the Negro is concerned, is top heavy. Admittedly, there are circumstances that mitigate against the young M. D.s going into the towns and country districts, among which are the lack of opportunity for scientific research, sparse settlements, bad roads, hardships to be encountered in getting to and from patients, the crop system, under which the farmer and farm laborers seldom have cash to pay for a doctor's services other than at harvest time. But the medical profession is one in which we have been led to believe that the zeal for service to mankind far outweighs the thought of immediate pecuniary gain. We have been led to associate it in sacredness with that of the ministry. Young ministers go into the far South, into towns, villages, hamlets, byways and cross-roads. Young teachers follow them and they serve their kin and kind nobly and faithfully upon an income that will never lift them above the humdum of a mediocre living. We have not the figures, but we believe that the majority of our preachers is found in the black belt, where they are rendering yoe missionary service. Can we not have a few more of our doctors make the sacrifice? Again, many doctors in small communities with no more skill than their brothers in the city, and oft-times not as much, earn a comfortable living, the respect and admiration of their neighbors, influence in their communities, while their classmates in the city are up against force competition and the indifference of the public to their qualifications. In the light of statistics, it is to be admitted that we are woefully short of medical men, but what we need even more is a better distribution of those we have. Negroes in the large cities of the North would not suffer greatly for medical treatment if one-half of the colored physicians there should pack bag and baggage and leave tomorrow. White physicians in the North do not bar colored practice, in most cases they solicit it. It is different in some parts of the South. These five cities have considerably less than a million Negroes. Yet this population has more Negro physicians and dentists to administer to its needs, in spite of its numerous charity hospitals, free clinics and the strong competition of the white physician for its patronage, than all the colored people in the South have. It is reasonable to assume that this disproportionate ratio of colored doctors to the population of the cities mentioned, and the colored doctors to all the Negroes in the South holds true in cities of lesser size.

Again, many doctors in small communities with no more skill than their brothers in the city, and oft-times not as much, earn a comfortable living, the respect and admiration of their neighbors, influence in their communities, while their classmates in the city are up against force competition and the indifference of the public to their qualifications. In the light of statistics, it is to be admitted that we are woefully short of medical men, but what we need even more is a better distribution of those we have. Negroes in the large cities of the North would, not suffer greatly for medical treatment if one-half of the colored physicians there should pack bag and baggage and leave tomorrow. White physicians in the North do not bar colored practice, in most cases they solicit it. It is different in some parts of the South. Spirit of The Press The Negro Business Man and Negro Newspaper From the Florida Sentinal. The Negro business not as yet realized the and interesting newspaper Negro newspaper some that he usuallyregular support, he makes such in the way of returns able for the Negro enlist his support. Add becoming a recognized kind of business is not Negro should have Negro newspaper thing which is needed frequently some think in advertising in the Nmoney given for the which he thinks the rays does not believe merits The Negro business man in general has not as yet realized the value of a wide awake and interesting newspaper. He regards the Negro newspaper somewhat in the same light that he usually regards charitable organizations and whenever it is approached by it for support, he makes such demands in the way of returns that it is very useful for the Negro newspaper to attempt to enlist his support. Advertising, which is fast becoming a recognized asset to every form and kind of business is not given the place in his business it should have, and advertising in a Negro newspaper is regarded by him as something which is needless, unnecessary and very frequently some think that the amount spent in advertising in the Negro newspaper is just money given for the support of something which he thinks the race should have but he does not believe merits his support. The Negro business man in general has not as yet realized the value of a wide awake and interesting newspaper. He regards the Negro newspaper somewhat in the same light that he usually regards charitable organizations and whenever he is approached by it for support, he makes such unreasonable demands in a way of returns that it is very unprofitable to give the Negro newspaper to attempt to enlist his support, becoming a recognized asset to every form and kind of business is not given the place in his business it should have, and advertising in a Negro newspaper is regarded by him as something which is needless, unnecessary and very frequently some think that the amount spent in advertising in the Negro newspaper is just a waste of the support of something which he thinks should have but he does not believe merits his effort. The relation between the Negro business man and the Negro newspaper should be clearly understood. He must realize that the newspaper supports him as much in his business as he does it by his patronage; that when he newspaper supports the community to the extent that the community believes more or less in that paper, then he is the gainer when that paper boosts his business. That when a community says "such and such a paper said this" and believes it, that community will believe in him when he uses the paper as a medium of getting before them. This is why great business houses will spend thousands, will employ men for the express purpose of gaining first the confidence of the community newspaper by proving that it is a legitimate and honest business before it will spend one dollar to start a business. The advance notices of the establishment of a business which are given to the local press purposes and which are good and of the public's reliable newspaper. It begins its advertising campaign with faith in it because it knows that what is published in that paper, whether in advertising or in news matter is accepted by the community because of its faith in the paper. On the other hand the newspaper is obligated to its reader to see that what it does present to them is legitimate, is reliable and that its advertisers will live up to what they say. Millions of dollars in advertising is rejected because newspapers cannot guarantee its reliability, and will not risk their reputation even at a great financial profit. The newspaper is the most powerful agency in the country; it can arouse more patriotism, stir more hatred, boost more enterprises than any other agency in the country. It is said by a journalist of experience that a newspaper can be business that cannot be bought; that can operate at a loss and still be vastly richer than any other form of business, that the newspaper, is the one business whose profit is not in dollars but in the amount of service it can render. So that the Negro business man must look to the Negro newspaper as the agency from which must come his support. It is the only medium that will boost him, that is interested in his progress because of the value of his progress to his race. It has suddenly aroused Negroes to the fact that they must support their own enterprises, must protect themselves and must place the black man first in everything, and in consequence Negroes have never been more interested in their black brothers as they are to the Negro business man to see that his community paper is a wide awake, progressive newspaper and that it has the confidence of the community. His progress and the progress of the Negro newspaper, his newspaper must go side by side. Each can be of invaluable service to the other. Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.)

P.) 16. What are the circumstances of Coleridge-Taylor's death. Coleridge-Taylor was suddenly stricken in the Croydon (Eng. railroad station, Wednesday, August 28, 1912. He found his way home with difficulty, where his family physician pronounced his a case of pneumonia. Coleridge-Taylor did not realize the seriousness of his condition until the following Saturday, when finch courage deserted him, and he broke into tears, saying he was too young to die, I am only 37." But his despair was of short duration, and he faced the end with calm, saying that he looked forward to meeting such a crowd of musicians. Sunday, September 1, as Mrs. Coleridge-Taylor was read aloud, he heard that he heard a wonderful orchestra and imagining he was conducting, began to smile and beat time; suddenly, he sank back on his pillow, and his spirit passed "To the Land of the Hereafter." 17. What became of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were erected by Nebuchadnezar in 600 B. C. Herodotus, the historian, whose observant eye and roady stylus has given us much of reliable data about the ancient gardens, where beautiful terraced gardens were with groves and encircling the city. They were ruthlessly destroyed by Xerxes, the Greek, in 484 B. C. 18. Who was the first and only Negro Captain in the U. S. Navy? Negro Captain in the U. S. Navy. One morning in December, 1863, the Planter, with Capt. Nickerson in command, sailed through Island Creek, whereupon the Confederate batteries at Secessionville opened a murderous fire upon her. Capt. Nickerson became demoralized, left the pilok-house, and fired to the coal bunkers. Smalls (who had been transferred back to his old ship) run, took comfort in the boat and carried her safely out of the age of the guns. For this conduct, he was promoted by order of General Gilmore to the rank of Captain, and was placed in command of the Planter; which position he held until 1866, when the Planter was put out of commission and sold. NEXT WEEK'S WHATNOTS 19. What does Coleridge-Taylor's biographers say of him? 20. What became of the statue of Zeus? PRESS OF SOUTH STRIKES HIGH NOTE ON TUSKEGEE TANGLE A Strange Alabama Idea From Greenbush Daily News The more one considers the Tuskegee incident the more incredible it becomes. It appears that those people in Alabama are actually de manding that white women nurses be put in the hospital, to nurse Negro women. Could the stupidity of prejudice be more brilliant illustrated? Of course, it is claimed that they are to have Negro maids do the heavy work; but what is the sense in compelling the government to hire two women, one white and one Negro, when it could secure Negro women entirely competent to do all the work? Furthermore, if the fantastic system that is proposed were installed, we believe that within a year this very town of Tuskegee would be on its ear again, accusing the government of putting white women at work that no white woman should be expected to perform. The white press of the South has condemned this outbreak with extraordinary unanimity, but the government authorities appear to be more impressed by the opinions of 700 kluckers than by the southern press, and Director Hines, of the veterans' bureau, is quoted as virtually promising the kluckers a victory. As a matter of fact, the nursing personnel ought to be composed of Negroes even if the medical staff were white. Aside from the dangerous race relations involved in putting white women there, this hospital should be used as a training school for Negro nurses because the Negro race is much worse off for trained nurses than it is for physicians. At least one Negro doctor is to be found in practically every large town in the south; but competent, well-trained Negro nurses are as scarce as hers in the north. The public health service, not to mention private cases. However, the government could certainly find enough to organize the hospital staff and to train students and the opportunity to establish a first-class training school for Negro nurses in the south ought not to be permitted to go by default. However, the peculiar Alabama idea of maintaining the respect due to white women by putting them in attendance upon Negro men seems to be a contradiction. Negro grave conferences and reports on why the Negro is leaving the south, Halleluliah! From Norfolk Virginian-Pilot A resolution adopted by the Social Service Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in annual session at Lake Junaluska indorses the Tuskegee Institute and declares that any invasion of its rights or interference with its lawful labors "would be a calamity to the institution and a lasting disgrace to our Southern civilization." It is one of the tragedies visited upon the public-spirited responsible elements of the South that the machinations of its irresponsible citizens ited elements, that resolutions of this type are still needed. It would seem reasonable to assume that a training school like that operated at Tuskegee could enjoy in the South an existence free from molestation. That was assumed until a local agitation over the staffing of a government hospital for Negro soldiers called to the colors that has demolished the southern society that has demolished the southern slip to save the South from its common sense self and preserve it to permanent racial friction. The hospital question was simply whether an Alabama institution for the rehabilitation of colorized soldiers should be staffed with Negro doctors and executives on white. If there is a sound objective to staffing with competent colored personnel the hospital set aside exclusively for Negro in community in which is located the best-known Negro training school, mainly staffed, nobody outside of Ku Klux circles in Alabama seems to be aware of it. But these circles promptly and noisily viewed the proposed restaffing with alarm, colored medical staff in charge of the soldiers was clearly a subtle inversion of the rights of "white, native-born Protestant Americans," and the pillowlipped battalions wouldn't stand for it. They parured not only before the hospital but before the training school founded by Booker T. Washington. Booker was dead but his educational progeny was next door to the hospital, presumably in cahoots with the restaffing. Threats were made. The resolution ratified by the Methodists refer to them as "threats of organized interference" reaching them through "private sources of undoubted reliability." It is in condemnation of these threats that the Methodists have raised their voice. It is a hail of criticism to be expanded into a chorus. There must be an end to the regulation of Southern affairs by masked masters and morras. The end is coming. Resolutions like those reported from Junalaska bring the end nearer. Halleluiah! Tuskegee's Dark Outlook From Elizabeth City (N. C.) Independent. Depend upon the Ku Klux Klan to continue to aggravate the race problem in the South. It was not many months ago that a hired speaker of the Klan was stiring up opposition to the work of the Southern Committee or the Internal Relations by deliberately lying about that organization. Now the Klan is terrorizing Tuskegee Institute and the friendly relations which have long existed between the people of Tuskegee and the blacks of Tuskegee Institute are seriously threatened. A few nights ago a thousand white robed and masked Khleber paraded thru the streets of Tukkeegee Institute carrying banners claiming that they represented the thy thousand Klansmen in the state. Alabama. No threats. The Khleber was understood to be a protector against the employment of Negro soldiers in nurses in the U. S. Veterans' capital for Negro Soldiers which located on the lands of Tukkeegee Institute. The parade was staged as a demonstration against the pitial; but no one who knows a Southern temper and condition Tuskegee Institute can fall to the Tuskegee institute more than the manger argument of a hostile work may yet mean nothing the wrecking of that great headman of Negro education affiliated by Booker T. Washinger. When the Federal Government started out to locate a hospital sick and disabled Negro solos not a town in the South wanted Finally land was donated by Teekeege Institute and there a grape hospital was built. It was understood by white residents of the towns and a Tuskegee that white residents and a Tuskegee that white residents in charge of the Negro hospital It was understood by leaders the Negro race that the hospital would be manned by a staff of 80 officers, doctors and nurses. When it became known that the Veterans Bureau would install complete Negro personnel at the Tuskegee Veterans Hospital, the white citizens of Tuskegee raise protest that has kept President Harding, the Veterans Bureau as everybody else concerned in the white citizens of Tuskegee white men are deterred Negroes shall not have the Negro hospital and they have edited their Congressmen, Senators, the Ku Klux Klan and every available agency in their protests. Just why the Tuskegee follow ject to a Negro person in the Negro Veterans Hospital does clearly appear. They say that will make trouble among whites. And yet for many years he has been the subject of Tuskegee a great Negro national institution manned by Negroes and there has been trouble. I was in Tuskegee recently and picked up some facts there that may have a hearing on the present controversy. There is an admirable undercurrent of ill-health against Tuskegee institute in the town of Tuskegee in the state of Louisiana, professing only the greatest free fitness for this Negro institute and its faculty are, nevertheless, many cases now, unmistakably a title to the school. In trying to do cover the source of this hostility succeeded, I believe, in putting a finger on two things. The alarming-case Negroes from the South of the Southeastern省 has revealed to the planters of Tuskegee and vicinity the progress of the educated Negro. Tuskegee takes Negroes from the plantations, logging woods and turpentine camps where they worked fifty cents or a dollar day and sends them out trained for more remunerative employment in the plantations of the southern professions. The worker of a sand acres dependent upon chapels unskilled labor doesn't like this will tell you that education spares the Negro. Another thing that has made Tuskeguee uncasy is the tenure of the Negro to patronize his or kind. For many years the small storekeepers and the big storekeepers in Tuskeguee reaped a harvest of trade from the Negro institution at Tuskeguee Institute and if they didn't like Negro Education, they swallowed their dislike because they did like Negro trade. Recently Tuskeguee Institute has opened its own stores, and Negro traders, Negro druggists, Negro growers and Negro dry goods merchants and taking the lives of the Negro trade to be used only in stores in Tuskeguee. As Tuskeguee Institute ceases to be an economic asset to the white business interests of the town of Tuskeguee, as ceases to enlist the appreciation and good will. And Dr. Robert Raska Mussel the successor of Booker T. Washington is not the diplomat and politician that Washington was mingling with the people and putting himself out to make the white folks believe that his chief counsel is at all times to make the New Yorker keep their place. Dr. Washington voiced his opinion to the town of Tuskegee, approach a group of colored boys lounging on the street and read them a lecture on idleness in a voice pitched at that the white people sitting front of their stores would hear it. The white citizens would need a proval and bless Booker T. Washington on behalf of the gift of diplomacy or the invitation to play the game the way Dr. Washington did. The relations of the whites and the blacks at Tuskegee are not what they formerly were. They will never be so agreeable again depend upon the Ku Klux Klan see to that. In fact I would not be surprised if the Klan does not yet put it into the heads of the leading citizens of Tuskegee to do the Negro personnel from Tuskegee Institute itself and turn that monument of Negro progress and endover over to a white principal and a white faculty. The only Negro institution the Klan wants in the South is an institution to teach the Negro that his place is in the fields in the woods and in the swamp. I think leaders of both races North and South, have failed to grasp the true significance of the over the Veterans Hospital in Tuskegee. It would be well to take notice.
