Finley Wilson Returns From Western Tour. Confident of a Big Delegation. (Special To The Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., June 21—Returning here to-day from the West where he spent four weeks visiting lodges, J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, reported that western delegates to the Elks convention in Chicago, in August, will support him for recollection. In most instances, they have been instructed by their lodges to vote for him on every ballot. Mr. Wilson believes that the work he has accomplished for the order since his election at Newark entitles him to a second term. "My goal at the outset," he said, "was fifty new lodges and fifty thousand new members. Up to this time I have signed seventy charters for new lodges and thirty charters for new temples, thus going over the hundred mark." Such a record has been made by any previous Grand Exalted Ruler. On this tour Mr. Wilson went as far as Ogden, Utah. He visited Chicago, Omaha, Nebraska; Wichita, Kansas; Denver and Pueblo, Colorado; Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri; Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Muskogee, Oklahoma. He returned by way of Indianapolis, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky, and stopped over in Cincinnati, Ohio to dedicate the new home of Alpha lodge. In every town and hamlet he visited Mr. Wilson was royally entertained. He was banqueted and toasted and given continuous ovations. He enjoyed the grand hospitality ever extended by Grand Exalted Ruler. While there were several candidates in the field he was convinced that opposition to his reelection will not amount to anything.

BELIEVES HE WAS VOTERS DEMAND DIVINELY LED TO A SQUARE DEAL ORGANIZE ORDER OF REPUBLICANS BELIEVES HE WAS VOTERS DEMAND DIVINELY LED TO A SQUARE DEAL ORGANIZE ORDER OF REPUBLICANS Father Miller of the Children of Israel Believes That the Order Is An Instrument of God Working Him. TELLS AN INTERESTING STORY OF ITS BEGINNING There is probably no more interesting character living than the Rev. A. A. Miller, founder and head of the Improved Ancient Order of Childlean of Israel of North America. Rev. Miller is addressed as "Father" by members of the order and is familiarly known by that title throne the city. He is now 79 years of age, devoid of a higher education but superlatively endowed with common sense or "mother wit." He makes his home at 722 Goff street which is also headquarters of the order. At any time any day when he is in the city he can be seen sitting in front of or inside of a little grocery store conducted by a Jew on the corner of Calvert and Church streets. When asked why he made that place sort of "hangout," he said because and that he would always keep on a level with his people. There he can see so many of his members hourly and said he expects to keep near the people as long as he lives. Questioned as to what promoted him to organize the Children of Israel, Father Miller at once replied, "God." He claims that he received a divine inspiration to proceed to found the order, and that it is now functioning divinely Father Miller feels absolutely sure that he is merely an instrument in the wisdom, of God thru the order and that his direction have come to him thru faith in the Supreme Power. The lodge is destined to lead the neccle back to God said Father Miller and that is its purpose for existing. "Jacob laid the first foundation for a church, changed the city of Leu to the name of Bethel, and laid the cornerstone and said: "If the Lord would give me maintenance, food to eat and enable me to come to my Father's house the Lord, and will give the tenth part of my earnings to God's house." "Man what does God require of you? To deal justice to all mankind and live humbly before God." Father Miller quoted the above excerpts from the scriptures as the substance of the principles of the Ancient Order of the Children of Israel. Starting out with none to guide him other than his wife and God as he states it, twenty-six years ago he fouled this lodge. He said that he has had his troubles, but it was impossible for him to fail because it was a God ordained thing he was attempting. Today his followers number 15,000 scarcely over three states and at least one pollinator is in commonplace and ordinary as the most humble citizen. He is without bombast, pomp or snobbish. He says that if he should grow that way he would fail to grow in Grace and would fail. He accepts no salary attho the order takes care of him decently, and avows that he shall never know want. His home was presented to him by his members at a cost of $4,000. Father Miller claims that God has forbidden him to accent a salary, even that he has offered him several times and also a salary has been offered his wife Mrs. Julia A. Miller, R. W. M. of I. The ination foes and dues which are earned go to aid the sick and bury the dead. The lodge seeks the poor, old, blind cripple, and needy as well as the rich as its main object is to help mankind according to Father Miller, because he says, "It was thus Israel salvation came to the world." Home For Girls Is Proposed The meeting of the Mothers' Club last Monday night was a joint meeting with the Rescue Work Association and the Graduate Nurses Association for the purpose of hearing Miss Nelson, the visiting nurse of the health department with which she was working, an institution for colored girls like that of Crittended Home for white girls.

Persons interested are asked to be present at the meeting of the Mothers' Club Monday night, July 30 Afro-Americans, Representing Several States, Meet in Atlantic City, N. J., and Threaten to Bolt Old Guard. SENATOR EDGE ADVISES CONTINUED ALLEGIANCE By MORRIS BROWN Atlantic City, N. J., July 22—Colored Republicans represent several states, in session here on Friday and Saturday, organized the National Republican Conference and adopted a resolution demanding their "just dues from the Republican party." The meeting would have been more largely attended and could have been made national in scope as well as in name, if the leaders of the movement had not seen fit to give them the opportunity to meet and their friends in northern states by issuing a call "to all colored Republicans in states where they vote." The insertion of these offensive words served to create another schism among Negroes politically. At the first day's session, Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, N. J., and president of the Colored Republican State Conference of New Jersey, which sponsored the movement, delivered the keynote address. "American race prejudice, drunk with power, is seeking to rob us of all political prestige," he said. For years the Democratic party of South Carolina been stripping us of our wealth, privilege, of its distranchising, Jim Crow, and negozi system. To this procedure the Republican party has looked on with silent contempt, but now a vicious policy looms up within our own party. "Our platform must demand equality of membership in this Republican party, both North and South, and the abolition of the lily-white policy. Our party must stand for the equality of all citizens, and hold the ballot as sacred to the black man as to the white. Our government must not only enforced eighteenth amendment, but also the fourteenth, fifteenth and nineteenth amendments as well." Dr. Cannon was elected the temporary chairman of the conference. SENATOR EDGE SPEAKS In the afternoon Senator Walter E. Edge, of New Jersey, addressed the conference. He beifted third party movements. He stated that in New Jersey the Republican party had been especially considerate of the Negro and in support of his argument mentioned the appointment of the Reverend Solomon Porter Hood to be president of the committee appointed that Oliver Randolph, a Negro lawyer of Newark and a member of the state assembly, would soon be appointed an assistant United States attorney for the district comprising New Jersey. Senator Edge counselled the conference to make its demands in the proper way and expressed the belief that they would be given proper consideration. He urged the delegates to settle their grievances within the Republican party, for which could be grilled by attempting to do so otherwise. He advocated strict enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments along with the eighteenth, but added that the Volstead act was "unfair, unnecessary and unjust." The conference perfected a permanent organization by the election of the following officers: Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, president; Mrs. Daisy Lampkins, of Pittsburgh, vice-president; Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Orange, N. J., executive secretary; James E. Kefford, Waterbury, Conn., record-keeping officer; C. Fitzgerald, of Baltimore, Conn., executive committee composed of J. R. Pollard, Virginia; F. B. McKinney, Connecticut; James Weldon Johnson, New York; W. T. Andrews, Maryland, and Assemblyman J. C. Asbury, Pennsylvania. After a stormy session on Saturday, during which there was much talk of lobbying the Republican party until it gave them equality in party councils, the majority report of the committee on resolutions was adopted. It called upon the colored voters of the country to devote the next fifteen months in perfecting the political groups and to arouse concerted action to bring pressure for Negro interests. "As an American citizen," reads the resolution, "the Negro finds himself in a large section of the country disfranchised, Jim Crowed," subjected to peonage, mobbed and lynched and in other sections under limitations to which other groups are not subjected.

Col. Charles Young Post, of American Legion Sends Striking Letter to Hines. New York, July 24—The Colonel Charles Young Post of the American Legion, this city, is taking an active part in urging the United States government to take a firm stand with reference to unqualified adjustment of the conditions surrounding the U. S. Veterans hospital at Tuskegee Institute, and asks Col. Stanley's removal. In a letter to Director Frank Hines, of the veterans bureau, singles William Service Bell, commander, the number of pains: "Of the number of questions the surrounding the Tuskegee incident the Negro ex-soldier of the Great War sees one, greater in importance and ultimate effect than all others, the outcome of which spells the destiny of our land. "The question of good judgment as to location" or the color of the personnel have their bearing upon the matter in a more or less important way. So has the question which is in the minds of the ex-soldier as to whether the hospital is intended to meet; only the local need or meant to serve as a Jim Crow affair in which he is likely to be relegated regardless of his proximity to hospitals in other parts of the Country. "But the great question, defining with its ringing challenge providing a direct and most significant of historical prognosis, is the question of precedence of Rights, State or Federal. "According to published reports after the demonstration of the Hooded Americans, one made bold to approach the hospital, was allowed to pass the guard and present to Col. Stanley the note warning Mr. Calhoun, the Negro disbursement officer, to leave. Either the employees of the Federal Government, are fearful of the Khan with insufficient Federal formation or Col. Stanley must be accused of consort with the Klan. "Representing the spirit and sentiment of the Negro with his glorious military lineage, historic as the country itself the American Charles Young Post No. 398. American Legion recommend the removal of Col. Stanley and all persons known to consort with the Klan, or any organization whose purposes are inimical to the highest traditions and interests of the country." Chicago, July 23.—The wealth of colored Chicagoans is difficult to estimate. Because of the diversity of population, and the welcoming of their business by the big downtown banks, no exact tab can be made on bank deposits. Experts, however, claim that the average bank more than $20,000,000 on deposit in various banks of Chicago. 5 CENTS AT ALL NEWS STANDS PTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR ILLING DIRT SENATOR'S VICTORY STIRS MAJOR PARTIES "Repudiation of Harding Administration," Says Hull; "No Gain to Demoerate" Retorts Chairman Adams. SENATOR MOSES SAYS IT IS A WARNING TO G. O. P. Washington, D. C., July 19. The election of Magnus Johnson, Farmer-Labor candidate, to the United States Senate from Minnesota, to succeed the late Kate Nelson, is seen by Chairman John Adams of the Republican National Committee to protest against conditions temporarily affecting the farming interests adversely." Chairman Cordell Hull of the Democratic National Committee, regards the result as "the most humiliating defeat and repudiation the Hardin administration has yet suffered." Mr. Adams, however, cannot see where the Democratic party has gained anything. In his statement, Mr. Adams said that "returns from the Minnesota election indicate that out of a vote of approximately half a million, the party polled about 5 per cent. Certainly the Democratic party cannot get much comfort out of this result." "In a general way, the result in Minnesota was a voice of protest against conditions temporarily affecting the farming interest adversely. At such times, candidates who promise the most, regardless of whether their promises can be redeemed or now are the beneficiaries in popular elections." "Conditions in Minnesota and elsewhere in agricultural sections of the country are bound to improve their improvement public opinion in these elections all right itself. The American people, especially the American farmer, have the great saving quality of sober second thought, and they can be depended upon, in the long run to support the cause of good government, sound economics and stable institutions." In the opinion of Senator Robert M. LaFollette, of Wisconsin, who supported Mr. Johnson, the question was and is—Shall the people rule? He said that "the people of the great Northwest have again spoken their conviction that if representative government is to survive in the United States private monopoly must be driven out of their government." Senator George H. Moses, chairman of the Republican senatorial campaign committee, who directed the Republican campaign in Minnesota, said the result a warning to seer Democrats. The wave of popular sentiment, typical of discontent and unrest, which carried the Farm-Labor party for victory, he said, would soon extend to other states with disaster following in its wake. GARVEYITES SEND MORE PETITIONS White House and Attorney General's Office Flooded With Pleas For Release. (Special To The Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., July 23d The White House, the office of the Attorney General and the Associated Press were flooded last week with telegrams from divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in all parts of the country protesting against an alleged injustice死-Marcus Garvey, president general of that organization, by his conviction and denial of bail pending the outcome of his appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeal, having declared the telegrams was the same; the only difference being in the number of persons claimed to have been assembled in mass meeting. They read as follows: "We, five thousand loyal citizens of the United States, in mass meeting assembled here to-day beg to register with you our protest against the injustice that has been done to Marcus Garvey, president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, by his frame up' conviction in New York and denial of bail pending appeal. We sincerely hope that you will see to it that justice is done to a member of our race in whom the great mass of Negroes have confidence."

(Mathew A Study of Conversion). GOLDEN TEXT—I am not come to call the righteous but sinners Lk. 5: 22. The Call The Matthew.-Matt. 9: 9-Lk. 5: 27, 28. To become a publican in Palestine nineteen centuries ago a man had first of all to sell his country. The publican was the embodiment and representative of the foreign government. Dr. Johnson once defined a pensioner as a state-hireling paid to betray his country. The Jew would have accepted that as a true definition P. B. of the publican. And to become a publican, in the second place, a man had to sell his conscience. The publican's trade was a dishonest trade. The fact that once in the history of the Empire a monument was raised to the memory of a man whose chief distinction it was that he had been an honest publican, only confirms the truth of the statement that, speaking generally, the publicans were a set of unscrupulous extortionists and thieves. Taxes today are faced by response from the tax-gathers, as a result, can never exact more than is due. But taxes long ago were "framed." The taxes of a town or district or province would be sold to the highest bidder, and that highest bidder would be then allowed to squeeze out of the people of his district what money he could. It was a system that encouraged corruption and extortion. The more the publican wrung out of the people, the publicer grew rich. The publicer killed his friend and swindled; he smothered his conscience and hardened his heart, and grew fat and rich by extortion and false accusation."Rev. J. D. Jones, D. D. Jesus passed by, and summoned Levi, a publican from his receipt of customs to follow him. And Matthew, the toll-taker, the tax-gatheror forsook all and rose up and followed Christ. So Matthews left his golden gains, At his great master's call: His soul the love of Christ contrains Freely to give up all. O Saviour! when prosperity Makes this world hard to leave. And all its pomp and vanity Their mheses round us weave: O, grant us grace that to thy call We may obedient be; And, cheerfully forsaking all, May follow only thee." J. S. B. Monsell. 2. Matthew Makes a Great Feast for Jesus, Luke 5: 29-32. "In his gratitude and joy, and to make manifest to all men his change of heart and life, Matthew made a "great feast" for Jesus in his own house, which we may be sure was commodious and well furnished. It is only of Luke that tells us this; Matthew with characteristic modesty, gives only a verse to himself." While Jesus was at meat in the house of Matthew, there came many sinners and publicans and sat down with him. The Pharisees who were forever dogging the footsteps of Jesus, when they saw Jesus in the house of Matthew eating with publicans and sinners, began to murmur and find fault. They asked the disciples with biting foresmash "why eat and drink from me and publicans and sinners"? "The Pharisees conceived that his duty in regard to Jesus and sinners was to keep us as far away as he could, and never dreamed of going to them with an open heart; and trying to win them to a better life. Many so-called followers of Jesus still take that attitude. They gather up their skirts round them daintily, and never think that it would be more like their Lord to sweep away the mud than to pick their stairs through it, caring mainly to keep them of their own shoes clean Jesus ate with publicans and sinners and not with the Pharisees and their scribes because "the need not a physician, but they that are sick." For Jesus came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance, ys. 32. He took his critics at their own valuation. They were righteous? Granted; then they had no need of his gracious offices. His irony pretended like a rapier through their mask sanctity. Despite their pretension they were in a worse case than the sinners whom they scorned. They too, were sick, but they did not know it. And herein lay the desperateness of their condition. The insidious disease was doing its fatal work unperceived and un-arrested."—Smith. Follow the Christ, the King, Live pure, speak true, right, wrong. Follow the king Else, wherefore born?-Tenny-sons. BRIGGSOGRAMS To a Christian is to admire Jesus so sincerely, so fervently that the whole life goes out to him in an aspiration to be like him. —C. C. E.

CELEBRATED Watkins, having held the post since 1906. There was only a small band of consecrated workers whose vision gave the school a beginning at that time. At present the First Baptist Church boasts one of the largest Sunday schools in the country. Its departments are diversified and its activities varied and it functions most efficiently and the faculty is nonfiliated. Naffold has its confines today many a gray haired man and woman who for a generation has borne unimpeachable reputations, and in whose making the First Baptist Church Sunday school has been a most potent factor. The entire program of celebration was exceedingly well rendered, participated in by present and former members of the school, and Problems of A Pastor By REV. RICHARD II. BOWLING Pastor, First Baptist Church to preach. Here comes a hapless creature with clerical robe proclaiming her calling but (in order to gain access to a pulpit closed to women) declaring herself a "missionary" with a special message from God for your people. Here comes a letter announcing brother So-and-so as the world's greatest result-getter in the field of evangelism. He guarantees conversions and money for the church as well as himself if allowed to preach. The one solution to this problem is that the pastor put a limit on the number of polls to others. The congregation comes to hear him and his people pay him not to disappoint them. Still another problem is that arising from the many calls for help. Every "hard up" individual and every needy 'cause' feels that he or it has a divine right to appear before your people and solicit aid. Some of these individuals are said to have of these causes indeed worthy, but many are simply fakes and the people should be protected against them. A similar problem is that of the business promoter who wishes to intrude upon your people's worship hour to present his get-rich-quick proposition. The business promoter may merely want access to your membership roll, that he may visit your members in person. The solution of this problem, as that of other problems of a pastor, calls for a lot of commonsense and a lot of stern manhood. The pastor must have sense enough the unworthy, the good and the bad. And he must have courage enough to say, No. Favoritism Vs. Democracy One of the biggest problems on a pastor's hands is the constant demand upon him for favoritism. There are "first families" who expect preferential treatment from the man who is rightfully supposed to be the impartial leader, friend and counselor of all the people. Such people are found in all churches, large and small, rich and poor. But "they" were among the founders. The thing sort o' belongs to them, you know. They must have all the leading places, receive all honorable mentions, get all financial rewards, but not be called upon for large giving! For them the pastor must break any rule, set aside any precedent, offend any number of the rabble. The pastor must deal also with the "indispensable individual, the man or woman who needs to be known and treated as the custor's right hand man. One of the pillars of the church. Towards such a one the pastor is expected to act just as he would in the case of some member of a "first family." And let is not forget the "nice" sisters. This tribe is still with us. These are the ladies who insist on entertaining the past or in their homes, monopolizing his attention at every gathering and holding hands with him at every opportunity to be seen by the jealous onlookers.

An appropriately arranged program, dealing with historical events in the life of the school and discussions of the future usefulness of Sunday schools was carried on. Rev. R. H. Bowling, the pastor, delivered two appropriate sermons for the occasion Sunday morning and night. It was in July, 1863 that the First Baptist Sunday school was organized with Rev. S. W. Tucker (white) as the first superintendent, and these sixty years the school has had nineteen superintendents, the present one, Mr. C. J. of a pastor are many. There are his personal problems that concern his own life and the affairs of his family. There are his community problems which arise because of his position of leadership in the affairs of his city or town, where there are his personal problems due to his position as the executive of a church. It is to this lately his personal problems that concern his own life and the affairs of his family. There are his communi- ty problems which he has be- cause of his posi- tion of leader- ship in the affair of his city of own. And then there are his pas- soral problems due to his posi- tion as the exe- cretive of a chur- ch. It is to turn our attention in this article. Pulpit Preparation Pulpit Preparation At the pastor's chief business is the ministry of preaching, helping the largest possible number through his palpil messages, so one of the pastor's greatest problems is that of keeping other things non-prepared. In preparation. There are occasional callers who just drop in for a chat. Such people have no definite thing about which to talk or to seek advice. They are generally the laftier, shiftless, unemployed, whose chief business in life is to pass the time, to take up an hour of a busy pastor's precious time with a series of idle, rambling talks. Time Talkers Also, there are councils, committee meetings, board meetings, mass meetings, and get-to-gether conferences ad nauseum, at which the presence of the pastor is invariably expected. There will be some weeks in which a pastor will spend as many as ten or twelve hours in attendance upon such gatherings, in the aggregate a whole working day! Besides, a pastor is expected to pay sick calls, to conduct funerals, to marry his marriages, to open his correspondence, fill "outside" preaching and speaking engagements, and to be intimately acquainted with the details and problems arising within the many groups, departments and board of his own church. Now, all of these things are necessary. But the pastor's problem in connection with them is how to be polite, to be obliging, and to serve in these many capacities and at the same time reserve enough hours and energy for proper preparation of his Sunday messages. Without going into detail, the one solution of this problem is, Put the pulpit first, let other things follow in variegating order. Traveling Preachers Another problem for the pastor is the many offers to "relieve" him, i.e. to preach for him at one or the other of his regular services. Of course, a hard-worked pastor needs such relief now and then. But these kindly offers are so manicured that he is made. Here comes a bustling puffing and blowing, looking this way and that, and declaring he was directed by the Lord to come to see you and seek an engagement NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Calls For Help "Nice" Sisters 17 Years' Service A. B. C. J. WATKINS Efficient, capable and progressive, for seventeen years he has labored as superintendent of the First Baptist Sunday school. His labor has contributed materially to make the school as it is today—one of the leaders of the country. members of the various schools of the city. But in all probability, the most striking part of the program was the exercises of Tuesday night. At this time there was assembled on the rostrum a number of those who came in the school in the eighteens. With temples graced by silver locks and some not so secure of step, they were able to walk with ease, inescapable in misseances of the growth of the First Baptist Sunday school. Some of those who were able to tell of incidents long past in the life of the school were Mr. St. Paul Langley, who was superintendent 34 years ago; Mr. R. J. Gould, who preceded the present superintendent; Mrs. Susan Freeman, who became a teacher 40 years ago; Mrs. Lizzie R. Hinton, who has seen 40 years ago; and number of others whose life has been consecrated to developing the young in the ways of the Lord. No more impressive scene is often witnessed than the picture presented by those old warriors in the cause of Christ and the builders of the now modern First Baptist Sunday school. Mrs. Freeman related how she came into the school as a teacher even before she was able to read and write, 40 years ago. She had then been a member of the school some years previous. Mr. St. Paul Langley humorously related how in his day the school was a place to impress upon children denominational beliefs. Each Baptist scholar was taught as his first lesson the words, "In those days came John the Baptist," etc. This was to impress the young minds with Baptist ideas and principles. The principal address was delivered by Mrs. Annie Hitchens, of Washington, D. C., formerly Miss Annie E. Tucker, of this city. Out of appreciation of the years of service Mrs. Hitchens rendered the school during her residence here, she was especially invited to come and deliver an address. Her talk was of the highest order and contained the gems of the principles of fellowship. Mrs. Hitchens said in part: "Come with me on a July Sabbath and see gathered a company of earnest, eager men, women and children, who felt that they must do something to forward the growth of the Baptist Church in this community, and you will see assembled persons whose ambition is to promote a growth in fellowship for the Baptist cause in this locality. My memory does not carry me back to the very beginning as to familiarity of faces and names, but I know that their faith and energy were intrepid and they believed in the purpose that they were sponsoring. "The human heart is like water; it freezes at a certain temperature and melts under the influence of warmth. If we are to secure fellowship in Sunday school work we must gain the confidence and good will of all, for upon the ground of mutual suspicion and competition fellowship is never a success. Love is more powerful than hate; and I feel that these pioneers in the work in this Department of the Field here realized that, they were fired with a "holy zeal" that was to come down thru the ages. They felt that fellowship would make the world safe for humanity. "NeGRO PACE FOR GREATER RACE" 2502 Jefferson Ave. ```markdown ``` "Now that brings us to the memory of workers, some of whom are with us at the 60th birthday anniversary. Service is remembered not so much by length of years as by the plans of work accomplished in a given time. At first, groups of people were taught altogether. At the years passed, schools opened, boys and girls went to school and many of the older members as well began to learn to read and write. In turn new ideas were developed, new thoughts gave way to plans, and they found in this church persons who were capable. "Many of the early workers sleep, but there are yet a few remaining, who remind us of the past—in planning they built far better than they knew. The scenes now upon the scene, are children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of that early prious group, who assembled here 60 years ago." After the program a reception was served in the Sunday school room of the church. SECOND CALVARY BAPISTER There was a slight increase moted in the attendance at the Sunday school last Sunday. Rev. Bodie preached to a large crowd at the 11:30 service from the subject "All seeing Eyes of the Lord." At night he used as a sermon theme, "Refuge for Man Cast Out." Both sermons were powerful. Madam Jackson rendered a very unique program at the B. Y. P. U. service. Next Sunday Mrs. Randolph will render a program with the older people as participants. All members are asked to bring to the event at least 60 cents on next Sunday. That made it able to bring that amount will bring when they can. Mr. George Forbes passed a successful operation at the Protestant hospital. The members are asked to visit deacon Frank Cheeks, who has been sick for a number of months. At 9:30 the Sunday School was well attended at 11:30 the pastor was enrolled in a chancel sermon from 12:00 using as his theme "Living Sacrifice" SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

These early workers knew that religion would bind us to old morals and customs. "Religion ought to be a stimulant, it should inspire as well as soothe the Religion not only gives us the past, but a constant urge to bow down to the religion should free the spirit of man from the domains of his lower instinct and give him a larger liberty. Men have really felt this. "The pioneers in establishing the Sunday school, knew that no valuable and permanent reform has ever been accomplished that was not essentially religious. I think their motto was: 'Only fear the earth, and fear the earth with all your heart; for truth great things He has done for you.' JOHN BROWN A. M. F. rice." Much inspiration was received by the congregation from this sermon. At night a song service was rendered by the Junior choir. ST. PAUL C. M. E. CHURCH Presiding elder Rev. J. T.

The congregation gained much inspiration from the discourse. He depicted Christ calming the seas and emphasized the thought that being in the presence of Jesus Christ people need not fear. At 7:30 another masterful sermon was preached by the pastor. The Sunday school was very interesting and the superintendent is much encouraged at the progress. The V. C. E. League was led by Mrs. W. H. Mitchell and the topic was beautifully discussed by members and friends. Visitors were in attendance at the League service. ST. JOHN'S CHURCH NOTES On Sunday morning the pastor will preach from the theme, "The Call to Service." At night, "The Rock of Ages." Last Sunday the services were splendid. The sermon in the morning was practical and helpful. At night, the sermon highlighted the pulpit. The A. C. E. League meeting was great. The discussions of the topic were lively and convincing. Mr. C. C. Dogan led the discussion, and as usual presented much information that helped to resolve the issues. Mr. Morris, general secretary, was present and in his usual forceful manner, cleared up the arguments helpfully. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. Services on last Sunday were well attended. The Sunday school is making rapid progress. Rev. White preached an able sermon at the morning service. At 3 p.m. the pastor's Bible Class met, at which time a number of wide-awake young men and women discussed sections of the Bible. The Christmas message was learnt in 7 o'clock. The tolpe was interestingly opened by Mr. Elliott. Lawyer Thomas and his guest were present and rendered pleasing services. At night another good service was held, with the pastor preaching an able sermon. PAGE THREE Holds 35th Annual Session at Reams, Va.; Encouraging Progress Reported. Reams, Va.—The Bethany Baptist Sunday School Convention of Southside, Va. Wm. H. Johnson, president, met in its annual session Wednesday, 18th, inst. meeting was held with the Providence Baptist Sunday school, Reams, Va. At 9:15 o'clock the president called the assigmble to order. Devotional exercises were held, after which the presiding officer made a few remarks. The letter of welcome was read, and was responded to by Mr. Ferdinand V. Alcorn Committees to the several phases were were appointed, letters were read and delegates reported with money. Visitors and new delegates were introduced and the morning session was adjourned. At 2 o'clock the body re-assembled. The approval of the morning's minutes was first in order of business. In order to approve the president's annual address, Vice-president Rev. W. H. Gill, presented the president to the convention. For about thirty minutes the speaker delivered his twenty-third annual message to the convention. At its conclusion it was commented upon freely and with much commendation. A committee was appointed to report on the action. Subsequently the committee recommended accord with the entire production; recommended the adoption of each recommendation submitted by the president, and the address was ordered placed in the minutes. The treasurer and Board of Managers reported on the work of the past year. The committee recommended the re-election of present official staff, which recommendation was adopted.

Local baseball clubs and other sport organizations are invited to sand reports of their games and other athletic events to the NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE or notify the paper when such games are to take place. Some Sidelights On Our Athletes In loking over some back copies and noticing the run of "dope" on athletic events, and especially football is was noticed that the "dope" is inconsistent and sometimes completely upset. Several good examples are the Union-Morehouse game, the Hampton Lincoln, the Howard-Hamp ton game—this game however had the general run of "dope" from the first game, who as I remember the "dope" and it for Hampton to win 7-0. Nevertheless she did better and added six to this for a thirteen-noting score. The St. Paul-Lincoln game "dope" was uncertain some saying that Lincoln would loss. The Hampton-V. N. I. I. game was one in which the dope was upset completely. "Dope" sometimes pans out as given but scores are what it is usually based on. Scores mean winning—the character of the team played against and the mood of the players have more to do with it than how many scores are made. Rickards seems surprised at Firpo's manager claiming that Firpo is not ready. His manager is not the only one. We again say that Wills is the man. Firpo knocked out a forty年 old man which most any of the second rate boxers could have done and now to sidetrack Wills a while longer they bring him in. Firpo is still green while Wills is a seasoned fighter who is the only man could give Dempsey a fight. Dempsey most-powerful blow is with his right rush to the attack with his vulnerable spots uncovered. If Willard had fought anything but a defensive game a different tale might be told. The Homestead Grays of Pittsburg and the Beaver Falls Elks are to hook up soon. The Elks are the Worlds Semi-Pro Champs. The Grays have been showing up well. A lively battle, we say. Hubbard is to compete soon. What about going one inch further this time DeHart? Ed Martin is to train Danny Edwards. As good a trainer as is possible to get. Take in all he gives you Danny and use it. The Marble champ said he won because he heard someone say "Take Your Time." "Take Your Time," while he was playing. A whole lot in that. Self-control and cooperation of Braing and Brown. The New York Boxing Commission has uncrowned another champion. Joe Lynch this time is the victim in favor of Joe Burman. Six months ago Joe Burman hurried over from Chicago and post a forfeit of $2,500 with the commission as a formal challenge to the champ. This was ignored by the bantam champ and the Muldon clan at the designated time lifted the helmet from Lynch's head onto Burman's and heralded a new champ. About a year ago this same formality was gone through to one Harry Wills, with Jack Dempsey's title as the target. Time has past, challenger ignored, but the changing of crown has taken place. Dave Rosenberg challenged Johnn Wilson just like Wills did Dempsey, way late Rosenberg was made champion. Kilbane's title tilted, the same way, (before he was re-instated). Mickey Walker refused to fight Dave Shade, off goes his crown The Dempsey case makes it appear as though the commission is not in good faith, and is particular who wears the crown and who challenges. "Taking your time" in any line of activities, especially athletic events is often the means of victory. "Taking ones time" in a contest is not the loafing form of "taking your own time" with the attitude of—"I am not going to hurt myself for this or that" but the mental and physical confidence that you have in yourself that if you keep control of yourself and in the scramble for a quickly victory use up all of your surplus energy and move the final struggle, you will win. The crucial moment of any contest is the altimax or end. No race is over until the last man have crossed the line. The winner is won until the WELCOMED HOME VECUSED HOME ABBIE MITCHELL Singer, has just returned to America after over and.

Many are the experiences of teams having victory in their hands and then losing it at the last moment through the final struggle of the opponents to grasp the big end of the score. No one cares to sit through an unexciting game, however. That is one reason why there are rest periods in most of them. But in a foot race of a half mile and up one must know how to run a creditable race and at the same time energies for the deciding point of the race. The runners who have stamina speed and endurance usually win. Even in the dashes one must have these qualities for the energies are taken up—the only differences are that the strain is ever sooner and tells quicker. "Taking ones time" then, means that we must not become excited, that we must use our mental and physical power in such a manner that one will help the other, and that we will not use ways the best of the one that is won that is over the sooner, but to "take our time and win not through lack of speed or 'per' but through the use of all our powers to gain a victory"—for who does not after all have the art of losing or of being a good loser is just as important as the ability to win. Siki In Revel Of Paris Night Life Legal Attachments Against Senegalese Fighter's Income No Bar to Joy Spreading. Paris, July—Siki, although impoverished because of legal attachments against his fighting income, is again running wild since his victory over Marcel Nilles. The Senegalese pugilist was taken to a Montmartre police station last night after a free-for-all fight in an all-out battle made a great show and caused much damage. The trouble arose when Siki's female companion claimed she had been robbed of 400 franes. Siki's wife has gone to her home in Holland with their baby and apparently expects to make a long stay as she took with her the furniture and other household effects. De Fremont, Siki's latest manager said this morning that the battles had been entirely without funds of his own for months and that he had been dispensing food and money to Siki. Prospective managers hoping to sign up the Sengalee for a call of the United States, he also had dispensing the black man with money. De Fremont said. To add to Siki's troubles suit for 40,000 francs damages was filed today by Meunier, who claims he has badly injured Siki's lion cub at the Neullily fair recently. Recent reports says Siki has been installed with Gibbons. The date was not decided. Recently Tally Holmes defeated Edgar Brown in an exhibition match and in which Tally made a wonderful showing against the national champ. It all goes to show, even after the conditions under which he played are taken into consideration that steady practice and concentrated effort will win out. The full flowering of a players ability is often a long ways off, but they eventually "arrive." There are many "Mute, inglorious Miltons" in the tennis world who one great player must have had in mind when he says: There is no royal road to success in tennis. It is only by hard work that one scales the height of tennis success. Good players are not lucky accidents; they are the result of instruction of some nature and practice. Every boy of normal mind and body can become a good tennis player, if he or she is willing to work and do so. Here are ten suggestions that a famous player gives for improvement: 1. Keep your eye on the ball as long as it is in play. 2. Make all your strokes with your body sideways to the net, so you swing at the side of your body in a straight line, not facing the net and swinging in a circle around your body. 3. Learn correct form, either by instruction or from a book, and then practise it carefully. 4. Play to put the ball back accurately. Do not try to hit too hard to win every point with a kill. 5. See all the good tennis you can. Study the leading players, and then try to imitate their stroke. It will improve your own. 6. Practice seriously. Above all do not fool while practising, since fooling disturbs, concentration, and concentration is the key-note to progress. 7. Play in all the tournaments you can find, even if you have no chance of winning, for by so doing you gain experience. 8. Never favor a weakness or overplay a strength. If your backhand is poor and your forehand is good, use pour backhand in practise all the time so as to build it up in match play. No lopsided up in match play. No lopsided game can succeed to-day. 9. Do not get discouraged if you see your little advance. Tennis improvement is not from day to day, or even from week. Ask yourself, "Am I better than a year age?" and if the answer is yes, be satisfied. 10. Learn the strokes in the following order. 1. The drive; 2. services; 3. the volley; 4. the smash; 5. the chop; 6. the half-volley or pick up. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Abbie Mitchell is back in this country again to entertain the public with her wonderful acting. It is well to remember her. She received a fine reception at the hands of the European people. After her absence of three and a half years all are anxious to see her. She is to be assisted by Will Marion Cook. The Popularity of the movies and the need of them for recreation is shown in the following statement. The statement rests on the authority of the English novelist, W. B.

This perhaps not so tragic a situation as that contained in the other assortment that English homes are Norfolk Musicians Popular In Canada Peerless Concert Company of Pennsylvania, With Jerry Anderson, Having Success. St. John, N. B., June 23—The Peerless Concert Company, who headquarters are at Danville, Pa., and is owned and successfully managed by A. J. Price a member of our race, will close a ten month tour, which included Pennau, New Jersey, New York, and the Provinces of Canada. Jerry C.

And especially of J. C. Anderson who has charmed his many audiences with his excellent voice, and comic quartette work. Miss Leann Porter, who has been judged as Norfolk's sweetest singer joined the company two months ago, and has had the pleasure of touring the above named Provinces, will return the first week in August, having spent a delightful time in the Switzerland of North America. The manager is pleased in having secured two of Norfolk's host artists, and another from their musical ranks for next season, when the tour will include California. The popularity with which this musical group is, taking in the Canadian Provinces is evidenced in the following clipping from The Morning Chronicle (Halifax, N. S.) of July 2. Middleton, June 30—The Auditorium and Vestry of the United Baptist Church, Middleton, was filled to the utmost capacity last evening by an appreciative audience who gathered to hear the program of the Peerless Concert Company. This company is composed of eight Negroes from the town of Peetom from Virginia and from Virginia. The first half of the programme was devoted to singing the old songs of the South (in character) and in "My Old Kentucky Home," and of like nature, or in the camp meeting choruses, the choruses were equally good. Madam Thompson were soprans of a high rapper Miss Thompson, contrapont, has a full, rich voice and she is also an excellent reader. The tenors were Sullivan and Morris, who, with the baritone Morris, sustained their parts excellently. Jerry C. Anderson, Basso, deserves special mention, his wonderfully low notes being almost uninvaded. He is a younger edition of the..much loved "Uncle Tom" and shows real talent for acting his various song conditions. The audience was most enthusiastic in applause and the troupe responded most willingly to the ensembles. Their itinerary includes all the town and cities of any size from here to there, and their programme is well worth hearing. The pianist was Miss Regina Briscoe. The popular fallacy seems to be that baseball fans are confined almost exclusively to the laboring classes. It is a common mistake of writers who should know betray to assert that the working class—the ordinary "hands" of the factoryes, mills and industrial plants are the principal financial support of the game and even baseball club labor under this delusion and place undue importance on the ability of their starting time to suit the working hours of the laboring class. Publications devoted to baseball are continually met by the mistaken assertion of advertising space buyers that "baseball fans do not constitute the buying public." There seems to exist a popular delusion effect that baseball interest is more among the so-called "lower class" than it is among the higher type of business man—in other words, the baseball "fans" are the rabble of the community, in spite of every evidence that goes to prove that the biggest percentage of baseball fans ACADEMY 3 shows daily: 3, 7:15 and 9:15 P.M.

Brotherhood Of Baseball Bugs Who's Who in Grandstand, Interestingly Told by Writer in Magazine Article. A recent article in one of the leading magazines made the expression—"The Benevolent Brotherhood of Baseball Bugs" which reminds us that the old national pastime is something of this sort. In looking over the crowds at the baseball parks a "Who's Who in the Grandstand" seems to be the latest "erying need" in America—a volume which would tell at a glance at least the job, business, trade, or profession (if any) of one of the fans, rooters, or bugs—call them what you will—of grandmothers day after you in order to get a chance to see in order and even little league baseball teams in action. Of course our "holi-polli" can be counted upon to be among these present at these games. In fact, some writers have even hinted broadly that the attendance at a ball park consists of nothing else but "holi-polli," and that the "laboring class" dominates not only the bleachers but also the choice seats right behind the home-plate. In other words, the rumor has gone abroad that "baseball is a "poor man's" game, and one not good enough for anybody who is anybody. All of which causes one to think that he previsibly that "some bought spurs, whose intellect has shrivled in the rattles in their skulls like a pea in their hair have the nerve to say that insure ball fans are the rabble of the community." With typically American vigor and slang he retouches, "Tabble my eye! They're the soul of the solid citizenry of the nation, that's what they are!" He says further: "that country in which baseball is kept under american—does democracy achieve ever a proach to a real fact. And probably the country at large does not fully appreciate the important part that baseball has played in this establishment. Nothing in all history has so grift an entire people as baseball has grapt the Ameri- nation from the highest to the lowest to form this ever been known to form a bond of common interest between men of all ranks. It makes human beings out of those who would otherwise be self-centered fops. As a bond of brotherhood it has every fraternal organization ever invented whistle to a whisper, because its scape is wider: the average fraternal organization being a class institution in itself, while every mother's son from banker to bum is eligible for membership in the Benevolent Brotherhood of Baseball Buses. IN TRAINING 1798 The Sporting world is woning if another Heavyweight battle has been arranged. Harry Wills, the logical challenger, has begun training at his mountain camp near adams, Mass., and is hard at work. The oblique picture is one of his fighting poses. in the minds of trade and the social world. As a matter of real fact, the financial support of baseball is provided by the so-called "money class"; and NOT by the "working class" to whom that honor is too frequently accorded. We have no doubt that the hiring of accurate poll were taken of the attendance at any big league ball game the ratio would be around 80 per cent. of business officials, office employees and men of leisure to 20 per cent. of the actual "aboring class." Take the any park on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon attendance to that of the private boxes and higher priced grand-stand seats and you will see that this is true. Watch the average business man as he looks over his morning paper and you will see that while the glances over the headlines of the other pages holding the paper spread out in both hands, when he comes to the sporting page he turns it over and begins to read, and it's a mortal cinct that the banks, brokerage offices, and higher type of commercial institutions provide a larger percentage of the average baseball crowd than all the factories and mills in the land. Since that day in the dim and distant past the Benevolent Order of Basscalle Bugs has invaded the inner sanctums of society and the private offices of Big Business institutions and snared the Sheikh of the Sheikhry for membership—and this fraternity has made of him a more democratic human being and therefore a better citizen.

The Palace Theatre, which has been giving its patrons the very best vaudeville and pictures obtainable, proposes to continue this policy with a slight increase in the price of admission for adults. The cost of admission has been raised from 20 cents to 25 cents, but the cost of admission to children will remain 10 cents. The Messrs. Hofheimer, owners of the Palace, state that this slight increase in admission price is made necessary on account of the increased cost of maintaining the host class of shows and pictures. They could, it is true, lower the standard of the shows and the quality of the pictures and continue at the old price of admission. They feel that the patrons of the Palace would pay the price of admission pay the slight increase in price of admission and have the high standard of shows and pictures continued, and they are without doubt, justified in taking this position. The quality of shows and pictures that the Palace has been giving during the past few months could not be duplicated elsewhere for even 25 cents. As an example one of the pictures which was run last week as a part of the Palace's exhibition and pictures was run in one of the Grenby street houses at 40 cents admission for the picture along. The patrons of the Palace will appreciate, no doubt, the determination of the owners to maintain high quality acts and pictures, and will not hesitate to pay the small additional cost of admission in order to keep the house at its present high plane. equipped to accommodate every kind of sport, including baseball, football, track events, basketball and many of the other sports.

Convict Lease Montgomery, Ala.; July 24—The Alabama convict system which is declared to result in terribly brutal treatment for state prisoners who are condemned to work in mines and warring with inmates abolished. The administration headed by Governor Brannon, famous for his rise from the role of "Bell Brannon, mule driver on a street car in other days" introduced a resolution discouraging the change which was adopted by the Senate 20 to 18. Most of Alabama's convicts, are colored. Losses earn big profits by hiring them from the State. The league of women voters sponsored the bill. Some hope is being expressed for the passage of the bill for the establishment of a home for juvenile colored girls. This is the work of the Alabama Federation of colored women. Mrs. Booker T. Washington is working actively in behalf of the bill and passed through here this week on her way from Mobile where a meeting in the interest of the juvenile was held. At present little girls are held with hardened, coarse women prisoners. The women's clubs of the State brought in thirteen hundred dollars, the largest amount, $218, being raised by the Tuskegee Woman's Clubs of which Mrs. Washington has been president for twenty-seven years.

"NeGRO PACE FOR GREATER RACE" --- "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 businessess 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 good will 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. Putting Your Advertisement in The Journal and Guide is equivalent to talking personally to 60,000 individuals, or sending that number of persons your personal invitation to do business with you, and the cost of the Advertisement would be infinitesimally small as compared with any other method of reaching 60,000 people. The Norfolk Journal and Guide is the fastest growing Negro Newspaper in the South. Its Circulation Has Increased During The Past Twelve Months 100 Per Cent DIAL 23100 and our Advertising Man will call Portsmouth District Conference Is Held Bell's Mill, Va., Scene of Gathering of A.

During the conference Dr. Davis emphasized the necessity of the brethren returning to their several charges and putting into effect what they had seen and heard. Dr. C. R. Sanders and Dr. F. A. Seaton gave very inspiring addresses, filled with logic and wholesome advice. Wednesday, Mr. Frank G. Russell, of St. James' A. M. F. Church and Mr. George Williams, of Emanuel Church, were elected lay delegates to the Annual Conference. In the afternoon there was a missionary mass meeting, led by Mrs. J. C. Mackey.

In the evening the Institute closed with a splendid literary program. Rev. Moore, the pastor, and his members, put forth every effort to make the stay of the visitors and members pleasant.

Se Sh The Vamp and the Virgin A Serial Story of Negro Life and Love THE Virgin stood gaping at Beatrix Marley, like a traveler in the woods at a rattlesnake. "Why—Why," he said after an oppressive silence, "I'm pleased to meet you, Miss Marley." "No, you are not!" she said, flushing resentfully. "You don't like me; everything in your face and voice shows it. You almost shrank back when you heard my name. No, you don't like me, Mr. Virgin." "Virgin!" he said, startled. "How did you know my nickname?" "Don't you suppose the boys have told me all about you? I think it is a splendid thing for a boy to have such a nickname, and now that I've met you I'm sure you deserve it." "The nickname is one of derision, not of praise," he said frowning. "Ah, no," said Beatrix tenderly. "The name Christian was once applied in derision, but see what it is today. Oh, look, Mr. Virgin; the fight is over and the trolleys are running again. Suppose we go home now." The two went out to take a trolley. The Virgin gripped the girl's arm to help her board the car, and was surprised. Never had he known that a human arm could he so soft. His rough fingers seemed to press it down almost to nothing. But it was the livest, warmest nothing he had ever known. It made every fibre of his hand and arm tangle with strange pleasure. In a moment they were seated side by side in the car. It was full of people who had been delayed by the Bloody Monday, and they barely found room to squeeze into their seats. "We'll have to cuddle," she said mischievously. "Yes," said the Virgin, whose chest was trembling as he breathed. This warm, vital palpitating woman close beside him, her round fushed checks and liquid black eyes so near that he all but touched them, the curls that fell over her forehead, live and sparkling the full-bowed red lips now moving rapidly, now pursued in pensiveness, and the rich half-singing voice—the Virgin was not used to all this. His heart began to beat too fast and head was a little unsteady. "You like me no any better than you did at first?" she asked pleasingly. "Because if you don't, I'll feel awfully disappointed." "Of course I like you," he said quickly and none to calmly. "You don't say it right," she said. "You like it a busy man at the telephone. That's very hard on a girl who has waited until your sophmore year to meet you." "I came here to study," said the Virgin stiffly, "and to let the girls alone." "And so far you've done it," she said with a slow smile. "But you can't keep us out of your life entirely, no matter how well you lay your plans. Tonight's chance meet me live! You would be glad to know a fine straight many fellow like you. I know I'd be." The Virgin was not prepared for such a direct attack. His innocent iden of girls was that they hid themselves in a corner until some man found them and then let themselves be dragged voluntarily out. It was the first time a girl had told him nice things about himself, and no young man could one either is proof against the history of a pretty girl. The Virgin instantly began to think of Beatrix Manty as right; he was living too much life and "the next street is mine," she said looking out of the window. They got off, and as her home was near the corner, they soon reached it. It was a nice comfortable; Boston-looking brick house in a good part of the city. The girl showed the Virgin into the parlor. "It is still early," she said, "you must stay a while. For all I know you might go back into your shell and not let me see you again." The Virgin sat down and Beatrix Marley went upstairs to take off her hat and cont. The Virgin looked curiously around him. Three hours before, he had had no thought of anything but going over his books and then going to bed, and here he was, in a Boston home for the first time in his college career. The thing was an adventure. Almost before the Virgin had time to take in his surroundings, Beatrix rushed downstairs and stood paused on the threshold like a vision. She had looked pretty before; now she was a taffy. She had slipped on a dress of pink silk, her face and hair reflected the color, and her eyes shone like stars on a clear summer night. "I didn't mean to keep you waiting so long," she said, going to the piano. "Do you wish me to sing?" The Virgin did; and she took up the piece which had made immutable lovers weep in self-pity—my Bear. She seemed to have diffused in turning the leaves, so the Virgin over to turn them for her and look down upon her waving mass of fine black hair. It is all in vain to implore me. Not to let her image beguile For her face is ever before me, and her smile. Theatrix Marley put herself into the song, her voice moaning and sobbing, then blazing out in high tides of passion. At the end of the song she looked up sidewise at the Virgin. His eyes were devouring her, her heart was shaking his body as a powerful engine shakes the ship it is driving through the sea. Their eyes half melt she took hers away and began the second wave, and all through it gush the undercurrent plea: Like me! Like me! Like me! At the end of it she did not raise her eyes, she shut them, as if in an effort at selfmastery. Virgin fought with himself to keep his hands from hers, for she had changed, perhaps unwittingly, two words in the stan- za, and made it apply directly to their talk on the trolley, car. It is all in vain to implore me. Memories of him away to keep, if he willwil to ignore me I can woeen—I can ween. The change from "her" to "t him" and from "she" to "he" went thru the Virgin's whole being. And now Beatrix sat with her eyes-shut and her head thrown back, her face upturned. There was a tense silence, their breath rose and fell together. Then far down in her breast she began the third; gradually rose in volume and intensity; the room thrilled with the sound. The Virgin's head swam, the keys shimmered the mist in her eyes. Beatrix bowed as if she were drowning a sob, in those last wild words of the song—"I can die! I can die!"—she sob burst out and short. She flung her folded arms on the keys and dropped her glorious head up on them, her round shoulders shaking silently. For an instant she lay lay, then she lifted her flushed face and wet eyes to the Virgin. "Beatatrix" he said in delirium, his arms fungi madly round her, his brushing lips to hers.

PEAKS BOLDLY FOR BETTER PROTECTION southern Inter-Racial Committee Sees Growing Sentiment. in Respect of All Womanhood. New York, N. Y., July 25 — The white women of the South are beginning to the fact that all women are akin whatever their color, according to an article in "The World's Work," on the Southern Interracial Committee, in which is quoted a woman member who says: "The most significant challenge of the better protected black women rests on the fact that this has been the point on which the white women of the South, who have been working with us, have spoken most boldly. For the first time in the history of the South white women are beginning to understand the indignities to which colored women are constantly subjected, and have expressed themselves again as determined to secure protection of all womanhood, regardless of color. In raising the status of colored women the white woman preserves her own." ELIZABETH CITY Bishop City, N. C.-Mrs. S. W.

C.—Judge William Harrison, of Chicago, Ill., used as his main theme, in a speech here "The Golden Rule." He held his audience spellbound from beginning to the end. The speaker said to the white people including the lawyers and professional men of the white race, "I want you to have patience with my race because we are just a little way up the road. My race has hardly had time enough to enter the army of this great force. We have just had about sixty years to do the great work that we have done. It takes hundreds of years for the nations of the world to reach their standard so it will take time for my race." The speaker further said: "I like to suggest to our race that we either must go up together or we must stay down together. No man liveth to himself, no man can succeed by himself. If you wish to succeed you must help us to succeed. You know, we did not come over here like' other foreigners. We were invited to come and we are the only people that were invited. I believe there was a special dispensation made in the tabernacle of the Lord to take us out of Africa, and bring us here and set us down by the best he had, the proud Anglo-Saxon race. To two races have lived together as the Anglo, and the Anglo-Saxon have." As the speaker related instances after instances the audience at times would sigh and again would break loose with loud applause. He closed his remarks with the closing remarks of the Master when he stood outside the gates of Jerusalem, with his face turned toward Calvary, and when looked up to Heaven and said to his Father: "The Hour Has Come," thus turning to his little band of Followers gave them "The Golden Rule, Whatsoever you wish that men do unto you do. you also unto them." The th editor, W. M. C. Manning, arose and said, "It was the greatest and best speech that had ever been made in Martin County, it will do more good than any speech that has been uttered since Martin County has been a county."

Johnson, editor of "Opportunity" in a current article on "Public Opinion and the Negro," in which he goes extensively, and with a force of knowledge that cannot be questioned, says among many other interesting things; "There are just instances of the peculiar working of opinion upon the Negro to which attention will be drawn because while not pervading and subtle in their effect, they are most frequently overlooked: Negroes have no more historical continuity than the millions of American whites who have blended into the American stock from an uncertain origin. This is the only culture they know or have ever exposed to. The circumstances of their lives make it necessary for them to share it and conceive of it in spite of the theories concerning the survivals of African traits. They read the same papers and books, and in many instances, attend the same schools. They are familiar with the professed ideals of our nation. It is decidedly difficult on the background of the same mental content to avoid having the same or at least similar habits of thinking and similar desires. They have no such autonomy as makes possible the development of a special culture. It cannot be improved inquired in how to follow the advice of many of their friends and advisors to develop here in America a 'culture of their own', 'to be the best possible Negro rather than is highly perfumed but not sticky.

Their culture must be 'the same or, their chances of survival, will be small. The state of affairs, in our democracy that would follow the independent development of a special culture by each racial group in our population can be well imagined. Where evidences of it have appeared they have been put down with a stern hand. The program of Americanization was designed to prevent just such tendencies as are recommended for the Negroes." TAKES EASY ROUTE TO OBTAIN DIVORCE (By A. N. P.) July 25, 2015 — is the easiest way to get a divorce to simply forget you are married? Evidently, there is some basis for belief in this method according to the proceedings in the local court of Domestic Relations last Thursday when James Lumkin, 2818 State street was arraigned for noisepointing in the Jamilin house. James insists he never married Hattie, but that she proclaimed shortly after having a cup of coffee and icecream soda with her that he had participated in a marriage ceremony making him her husband. "Judge," James said under oath, "never even though tog living thru a marriage ceremony with her. I just visited my mother's house and took her out occasionally to treat her to an ice cream soda, because we were old friends. I never even made love to her." Hattie shook her fist at him. "You did marry me and you know it," she insisted. "We were married by a judge in one of the courts. I can get a copy of certificate." She had, judge, I wasn't responsible for there was one —" James declared. "You had a new suitor and everything; can't tell me you didn't know what you were doing," Hattie snapped. "I'd been gassed in the war." MAKE YOURSELF MORE ATTRACTIVE Use Quinade No other single factor contributes so much to personal charm and attractiveness as beautiful hair.

TO STOP THE EXODUS Atlanta, Ga., July 25—The exodus will be stopped if a sensible remedy for Negro discontent can be found by the City Club. This was announced by Joel B. Hunter, chairman of a special committee of the club, which had the matter under discussion last week. "We realize," said Mr. Hunter, "that the question involves both a temporary and a permanent aspect, which makes the task much more difficult. There are certain remedies which might retard the movement of Negro organization has the elightest control and it is altogether problematic whether such remedies would prove effective." Leading Negroes appear willing to help the City Club solve the vexing question. Texas Free From Exodus (By A. N. P.) Austin, Texas, July 25.Recent estimates show that less than one half of one per cent of the Negro population has joined the "Negro Of Color Exodus' now so seriously affecting the labor problem of the South. Good crops of cotton and good treatment are said to be the reasons why the Negroes are deciding to stay in Texas. The calculation was made and given publicity by Editor J. W. Wright, of this city.

If we can't have our own soldiers officered by our own men and our own hospitals officered by our own doctors, where is the consistency in fighting on the one hand and getting disabled on the other? And because they need us and pet us in war and think they don't need us and kick us in peace is making us sensitively meditative and reflective. Battling Siki has a lion cub which he insists upon taking about with him in Paris, and which keeps him in trouble with the courts almost as much as Jack Johnson's automobile used to keep him with the police in Chicago. A great many people insist upon a stumbling block which they drag about with them, and which keeps them in constant trouble. Why? The Illinois legislature has appropriated $15,000 towards building a monument to her colored soldiers who died in the World War, and the Governor of Alabama is fighting like mad to prevent the Government from officering the two-million dollar hospital at Tuskegee Institute for colored war veterans, with colored physicians and helpers. So, there we are. The National Sociological Society, of Washington, which was organized at Frelinghyson University in 1903, and "has spent twenty years in the investigation and study of causes underlying racial friction in the United States," will hold a conference on racial harmony in Washington for three days, beginning September 20, next. Professor Jesse Lawson, president of Frelinghyson University, is chairman of the executive committee of the Society. We can't under existing conditions, have too much study and conference on racial understanding and co-operation.

One of the most interesting phases in the decline of a people is that it begins when they are at the height of their apparent power and strength. It must have been that way with Africa's transcendent domination of the world's destiny, as far as we have record proving it indirectly rather than directly, the original records having been destroyed in some accountable way; it was that way with Asia, whose full records we have; it was that way with Greece and Rome, whose vast volume of records are now accessible to searches after truth, and now it is predicted that Europe has reached the period of decline and will ultimately go the way of all the others, the decadent Nations in Europe, including great Britain, being one of the most phonemic phases of modern history. The decadence and decline became first manifest in the Spanish American war, when the ancient and expectable power of Spain crumbled like so many Dead Sea apples, followed by the no less apart of the vaulted, alleged unconquerable power of Russia before the onslaught Japan, among the youngest of the Nations, and with one-third the population of Russian. Every day's reports show that Europe is in scar and yellow leaf, and that its people looking to the United States as the last ruler of white civilization; but the United States is homecomed with discontent—social and economic—and he is a prophet, ind, who can see through the present into the future of fifty years hence. We have so many reign elements in the National life, at war our history and our governmental system, what sort of government will come out of crucible remains to be seen. Certainly not sort of government we now have. One of the most interesting phases in the decline of a people is that it begins when they are at the height of their apparent power and strength. It must have been that way with Africa's transcendent domination of the world's destiny, as far as we have record proving it indirectly rather than directly, the original records having been destroyed in some unaccountable way; it was that way with Asia, whose full records we have; it was that way with Greece and Rome, whose vast volume of records are now accessible to searchers after truth, and now it is predicted that Europe has reached the period of decline and will ultimately go the way of all the others, the decadent Nations in Europe, including Great Britain, being one of the most phenomenal phases of modern history. The decadence and decline became first manifest in the Spanish American war, when the ancient and respectable power of Spain crumbled like so many Dead Sea apples, followed by the no less falling apart of the vaunted, alleged unconquerable power of Russia before the onslaught of Japan, among the youngest of the Nations, and with one-third the population of Russia, Every day's reports show that Europe is in the scar and yellow leaf, and that its people are looking to the United States as the last refuge of white civilization; but the United States is honeycombed with discontent—social, civil and economic—and he is a prophet, indeed, who can see through the present into the future of fifty years hence. We have so many foreign elements in the National life, at war with our history and our governmental system, that what sort of government will come out of the crucible remains to be seen. Certainly not the sort of government we now have. Our Rule of Off-Color Peoples The United States does not appear to be a beast as a ruler of off-color peoples. That because of the contempt in which its people been taught to regard and treat off-color peoples. There is an undercurrent of insolence the National character which makes us off-ove wherever we go and in whatever we take. Just now the people of the Phillipine Islands are in an uproar against the distrust of Governor-General Leonard his cabinet and the Mayor of Manila resigned their posts; the people of Rica, having got rid of Governor Mont are now up in arms against Governor Air, the new man-sent to take his place; The United States does not appear to be success as a ruler of off-color peoples. That is because of the contempt in which its people have been taught to regard and treat off-color peoples. There is an undercurrent of insolence in the National character which makes us of fensive wherever we go and in whatever we undertake. Just now the people of the Philippine Islands are in an uproar against the administration of Governor-General Leonard Wood, his cabinet and the Mayor of Manila having resigned their posts; the people of Porto Rica, having got rid of Governor Mont Riley, are now up in arms against Governor Towner, the new man sent to take his place; the people of Haili and the Virgin Islands are complaining all of the time against the high handed methods of the officials placed over them by our Government; while from far off Samoa, in the Pacific Ocean, a loud wail of protest has reached us against such rule as we have given its people. It all indicates that we are not capable of governing others simply because we have not first learned to govern ourselves. The unfortunate and fatal thing about it is that we think that we are a success at self-government, that we are perfect in our democ- Editorial Page of racy, the rule of the people; and we think, this while organized lawlessness defies the State and National authorities in West Virginia and Illinois, and the Invisible Empire does, the same thing in Louisiana, Alabama and other States. Those who think they are immune from oppression and robbery and murder live in a fool's paradise, because there is no security except in a strict enforcement of the laws, the weapon of immunity to-day being turned into the weapon of destruction to-morrow. We fail in ruling off-color peoples because we have not first learned to rule ourselves. Dazed Looking at Big Objects A person standing near a big object, a big proposition, is invariably dazed by its attitude. We feel that way when we look at mountain or the ocean, and especially in very close to them and undertake to touch their whole bulky by one sweeping corrosion of the vision. We are not able grasp the bulk and grandeur of it all in comprehension of thought or vision. Meywood Brown of the New York Ward one of the few journalists we love because he is love and respect for the rights and feel others, brings out this question of procreation in a very human way in the follow-up story about Dempsey, the premier registrar, who is always clamoring for a book with Harry Wills, "the Brown Panther," always sidestepping the bout, in relating to felt on facing Jess Willard, the man主编, in the Toledo fight. Jack says that we got into the ring Jess was so big he wined "in winging." He wondered how he could high enough to down the big one. He then by looking at the big one's feet, and himself he would not consider his bulk it hit that part of him in front of him, and added the first wall into his stomach, and pilling the blows into it. After the fawn in the stomach Jess did not look so bulky, Jack, who knocked him silly in the end. Mr. Brown says: "The Dempsey system would work in most cases. Disregard the goal for the moment and wallow what is just in front of you." How many what? Those who do so are the ones who become the big obstacles and succeed. The taking hold of the proposition in detail following it methodically to a finish. The only safe way to win. A person standing near a big object, or a big proposition, is invariably dased by its magnitude. We feel that way when we look at a mountain or the ocean, and especially if we are very close to them and undertake to take in their whole bulk by one sweeping concentration of the vision. We are not able to grasp the bulk and grandeur of it all in one comprehension of thought or vision. Meywood Broun of the New York World one of the few journalists we love because of his love and respect for the rights and feelings of others, brings out this question of proportion in a very human way in the following story about Jack Dempsey, the premier pugligist, who is always clamoring for a bout with Harry Wills, "the Brown Panther," and always sidestepping the bout, in relating how he felt on facing Jess Willard, the man mountain, in the Toledo fight. Jack says that when he got into the ring Jess was so big he had him "winging." He wondered how he could hit high enough to down the big one. He began by looking at the big one's feet, and said to himself he would not consider his bulk but just hit that part of him in front of him, and landed the first wallop into his stomach, and kept piling the blow into it. After the first blow in the stomach Jess did not look so bulky to Jack, who knocked him silly in the end. Mr. Broun says: "The Dempsey system would work in most cases. Disregard the ultimate goal for the moment and wallop at what is just in front of you." How many do that? Those who do so are the ones who overcome the big obstacles and succeed. Try it, taking hold of the proposition in detail and following it methodically to a finish. It is the only safe way to win. The Migrant Vote in the North While the South is beginning to feel the th of the shoe in the loss of much of its supply, due to a systematic and constrain of its Negro people, the North is beginning to feel the political influence of the ant慰. An argument While the South is beginning to feel the pinch of the shoe in the loss of much of its labor supply, due to a systematic and constant migration of its Negro people, the North is beginning to feel the political influence of the migrant increase. An evening up will be made in the South when the next Congressional apportionment is made, when it may lose several congressmen, while the North and West may gain as many, on the basis of population. The North will receive two factors of strength in the loss of population; the South will lose in economic productiveness and in political consequence equal to the personal economic and civil value of each migrant lost to its economic and civil resources, while the North and West will be enriched by the dual value of each migrant. In the South the Negro is counted for Congressional purposes but does not vote while in the North he is counted and votes if he is public spirited enough, and the record shows that he votes with the Republicans when he is free to do so, and because of this fact he will weaken the Southern Democratic influence and enhance the Northern Republican influence in the Congress. The South, therefore, loses in two ways by the loss of its Negro citizens. This loss may be felt appreciably by the South in the Presidential and Congressional voting next year. The New York Sun and the Globe quotes Governor Trinkle of Virginia as being worried about the loss of Negro labor to the State, but quotes him as saying, "the Southern Negro will not stay long in the North. He does not, never has, and never will fit into the scheme of things in the North. In the majority of cases, sooner or later he returns to the South." The Sun and the Globe, which is one paper, meets the Governor's statement with the following: "Census figures do not bear out Governor Trinkle in this statement. In the years from 1900 to 1920 there has been a steady decline in the proportion of Negroes to whites in the South and a correspondingly rapid increase in the North. In Alabama the per centage of Negroes fell during these two decades from 45.2 to 28.4, in Kentucky from 13.3 to 9.8, in Tennessee from 23.8 to 19.8, in Virginia from 35.6 to 20.9, in Mississippi from 58.5 to 32.2; while in New York it grew from 1.4 to 3.3, in Ohio from 2.3 to 3.2, in California from 0.7 to 1.1, in Michigan from 0.7 to 1.6. "The Census in 1920 shows that of 9,600,943 Negroes born in the South no less than 780,794, or 8.1 per cent., were residing in the North. In fact, there were more Southern born than Northern born Negroes living north of Mason and Dixon's line." The Sun and the Globe reaches the following conclusion: "The colored man is coming North, not only because he is tempted by higher wages but because he enjoys here better educational facilities, better living conditions and equality under the law. So long as this remains the case thousands will continue to come, and thousands will remain." The conclusion is inevitable that Negro migration is a civil and economic loss to the South and a civil and economic gain for the North and West. And the South will get no immigrants to supply the places of its lost Negro laborers and voters, and the consequent weakening of its political and economic strength, because there is no available supply to draw upon, neither native nor foreign born residents of other States caring to move into the South because of its class laws and economic tyranny over wage-earners. "Pity, 'tis true; but true, 'tis pity."

Again: "A Re worth living in is worth living for, and a public worth defending is worth our pay vigilance." All of which is sound enough from President's viewpoint; but a large part of American people are alarmed at the usurpation of personal rights, with s and seizure without warrant and abridg of the right of peaceable assembly and speech, with a pronounced tendency to the press.

The Government has not always done this is not now doing it in some of our States, in Haiti, the Virgin Islands and Samoa, cording to published reports. In the last analysis, government—native state and municipal—owes as much to citizen as the citizen owes to government, the pronounced disposition to exalt government at the expense of the citizen, who may government and is not made by government is a discouraging tendency in our nation state and municipal life. President Harding, in his Independence Day little address at Portland, Oregon, gave away little encouragement to the political prisoners serving in Federal prisons because of their attitude towards the World War, and to those persons out of prison who are constantly agitating and working for the overthrowing of our system of Government. He said: "I would like to acclaim the day when there is no room in America anywhere for those who defy the law, and those who seek our hospitality for the purpose of destroying our institutions should be deported or held securely behind prison walls." Again: "A Republic worth living in is worth living for, and a Republic worth defending is worth our patriotic virilence." All of which is sound enough from the President's viewpoint; but a large part of the American people are alarmed at the growing insupation of personal rights, with search and seizure without warrant and abridgment of the right of peaceable assembly and free speech, with a pronounced tendency to gag the press. The Government has a perfect right to protect itself from enemies within and without its territories, but it should keep within the Constitution and protect the person in all of his citizen rights of life and property and peaceable assembly and free discussion. The Government has not always done this and is not now doing it in some of our States, and in Haiti, the Virgin Islands and Samoa, according to published reports. In the last analysis, government—national, state and municipal,—owes as much to the citizen as the citizen owes to government, and the pronounced disposition to exalt government at the expense of the citizen, who makes government and is not made by government, is a discouraging tendency in our national, state and municipal life.

Now whether the adverties things that they are saying about the black fighter are true or not is about an even break with us. The fact that his alleged shortcomings and jail going proclivities generally and being widely heralded in American newspaper exists except in the imaginations of the propar gandists who preach predigested the consumption of American beer. But regardless of all this we view with alarm ski to consternation, the proposed advent of Mr Ski in America. The fact that he is being groomed and staked by managers in France to this end does not the least mitigate our fear that the presence of the black champion here will be fraught with, at least, dire possibilities. But as we do not want Mr Ski, just a this partisan, we do not mean thereby to be inhospitable to strangers who do fail to be duly appreciative of the excellent work that the black mauer is doing in Europe. But as matters stand we have trouble enough right at home to keep us busy without importing any more from France or Africa. As a first class fighting man Ski is all that we could wish for, but we shall admiire him all the more if he stays "over there." He looks good to us far away, but a closer inspection but trouble with the circumstances, mean nothing are not anxious to add to the burden by bringing another from Europe. Of course, we hope that Ski will whip everything on the Continent, we wish for glory and applause, and may he wealth untold, but we much prefer that all of this come to him "over there." In France Mr Ski can get away with his "stuff," but in America he can only get himself and others in a peek of unnecessary trouble, and to this end frank, we do not feel that Mr Ski is worth it. Consequently, we hope that somebody will pass him a hint to please stay away. Skii, the black pupil of France, they say is in trouble again. Now whether the adversaries that they are saying about the black fighter are true or not is about an even break with us. The fact that his alleged shortcomings are going precocious generally are being widely used by American newspapers does not by a long shot, man, that exist except in the imaginations of the propagandists who prepare the news predigested for the consumption of American readers. But regardless of all this we view with alarm akin to consternation, the proposed advent of Mr. Skii in America. The fact that he is being groomed and staked by managers in France to do that does not the least mitigate our fears that the black champion here will be fraught with at least Therefore we do not want Mr. Sikiu just this particular time. We do not mean that you to be inhospitable to strangers nor do we fail to be duly appreciative of the excellent pugilis work that the black mauler is doing in Europe. But as matters stand we have trouble enough right at home to keep us busy without a clean and fresh from France or Africa. As a first class teacher that we could wish for, but we shall admire him the more if he stays "over there." He looks good to us far away, but a closer inspection could under the circumstances, mean nothing but trouble. With the Tuskegee Hospital affair the Ku Kuh Khan, the depopulation of the city, could not other perplexities, we are not anxious to do so to burden by bringing another from Europe. Of course that Sikiu will whip everything on the Continent, we wish for him glory and applause, and may he wealth untold, but we much prefer that al of this come to him "over there." In France Mr. Sikiu can get away with his "stuff," but in America he can only get himself and that of unnecessary trouble, and to be perfectly frank do not feel that Mr. Sikiu is worth it. Consistently, we hope that somebody will pass him a hint to please stay away. Pitiful, Pitable Children From Dallas Express. There is an element of pathos in the statement that over one thousand Garveyites in mass meeting at Liberty Hall Sunday evening greeted with emotional shouts of approval bitterness. Federal Judge Mack, Assistant United States Attorney Jackuck, France, England and "antagonistic Netanyah" as being responsible for the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey under conviction of fraud. There is an element of pathos in the statement that over one thousand Garveyites in mass meeting at Liberty Hall Sunday evening greeted with emotional shouts of approval bitter attacks on Federal Judge Mack, Assistant United States Attorney Mattuck, England, France and Negro organizations" as being responsible for imprisonment of Mareus Garvey under conviction. The principal speaker was a man who described himself as "His Royal Highness Prince Ishi Van Dovn, of Abyssinina," but talked as if he might have been born in Jamaica, W. I. or South Carolina. "The Prince" wore a gifting urban studded with Woolworth jewelry, his secretary, also turned and liberally beamed with Woolworth precious glass, and carried a sword over his shoulder. As the "Prince" spared the secretary shouted and stamped approval. At the end of the general cussing out of justice Mack and others a petition was drawn up to be sent to President Harding (now on is way to Alaska) calling on the President to preserve Mareus Garvey." The general leader, child of bombast, the gathered resistance to squander them, layed upon the juvenile faction of these "big children," lovers of gilt and tins, soldiers and internets, kings, nobles and generals in authorization only, and made them believe fully in an unobtainable empire beyond the sea which could win by the shedding of blood. Here is ignorance, pitiful ignorance and selfishness all to apparent. No wonder we laughed at and put aside trying to America's child race which likes play at being up-up. And Garvey and a movement receive no publicity than any worthwhile concern. The principal speaker was a man who described himself as "his Royal Highness Prince Jihai Van Dovn, of Abbyssina, but talked as if he might have been born in Jamaica, W. I. or South Carolina. "The Prince" wore a glitter studded with Woolworth jewelry. Besides his secretary, also turbaned and liberally wearing Woolworth previous glass, and carrying a knife sword over his shoulder. As the "Prince" spoke, the secretary shouted and staggered approval. At the end of the general cussing out of Justice Mack and others a petition was drawn up to be sent to President Harding (now on his way to Alaska) calling on the President to "release Marcus Garvey." Garvey, fantastic leader, child of bombast, who gathered riches only to squander them, upon the juvenile fancy of these "big children, sisters of gilt and tinsel, soldiers and potentates, nobles and generals in imagination only, made them believe fully in an unobtainable empire and the sea which they could win by the shedding of blood. Here is ignorance, pitiful ignorance and childishness to all an apparent No wonder we laughed at and put aside pityingly as America's child race which likes to be grown-up. And Garvey and his movement have more publicity than any two worthwhile concerns. Surely our education must increasingly tend toward common sense training and away from the fantastic and dramatic. We must learn to hunt the substance rather than the appearance. So long as our masses, like unto these bewelled sword bearing children in Liberty Hall, can be led to their undoing unsuspectingly, by blaring horns and fantastic dreams, just so long will we lack the structures which builds empires and creates lasting monuments by cultivation of the fundamentals of existence.

How even could other "hostile Negro organizations" have affected the movement which was "destined to revolutionize the world" if it had been practically conductive and sensibly directed? Our mission was to the Black Star Line and his other concerns, is only the natural outcome of a policy which was not remotely related to business efficiency. His followers would do well to make kimonos and lounging jackets of their gorgeous robes, give the Woolworth jewelry to the children for their doll gems, hang their swords upon the wall as a reminder of the violence to be a nightmare, and buckle themselves down to a common sense existence founded upon thrift and efficient American citizenship. New York is being called a "rebel" state because its legislature in an orderly and constitutional way withdraw its "current law" for the enforcement of federal statute; the people of Tuskegee are attempting to nullify the Fourteenth amendment—and the state authorities, have not interfered to stop it—by threatening the Government with a "reign of terror" unless it shall retreat from its position and withdraw its action for the reason that it is repugnant to certain elements of Tuskegee society. The method employed in New York was at least regular. We cannot have a sound and just government when half of the constitution is to be enforced and another part of it is to be repudiated. Expediency and opportunism Foot Notes To African History. (By THE HAMITIC LEAGUE) THE SPHINX Have you ever seen the Sphinx, of Egypt, that old stone baby of the thick lips and flat nose that has stood in Egypt's sands for steen thousand years? If not, save the blues ones and the thin ones and give it the once over of these days. Men still wonder why the hello Bill the Sphinx was ever carved, but all they know is that it is there and that it is a stone cut-up of a cullid gentleman who was mighty proud and doesn't care who knows it. The Egyptian tradition says it was carved on the order of one Mr. Horiz, a chocolate colored bird who chased a red-headed blue eyed waffle out of Egypt and dated him to come back. The waffle's name was Set and he cased into the royal cushions by turning the dad of Horus over to the undertakers and making love to Isis, the wife of Mr. Osiris. He didn't have any luck with Isis because he couldn't catch her. When Horus grew up he collected an army of culld scrappers and sailed into Reddy so fast that friend latter lost his sandals in heel dust. Just wither he went none ever knew, but according to the dope he went due east without a changed of trains. You know the Egyptians were young believers in hoodoo and after Reddy tore out, Horus decided to carve his own face in stone and place it. The desert so that if Reddy ever started to stage a comeback, he would see the face and accumulate a moss of cold feet. So the Sphinx was carved and there it stands today as it has stood for those steen thousand years. But Reddy never came back. The scare which Horus gave him was so strong that there was never the necessity for a second dose. A bird who has read in his history book that the old Egyptians were male faces, takes a tumble when he falls into the old stone face of Hades. He knows pronto that someone has tried to slip something over on him and get wise. Back yonder the cullid race was some historic fruit. VARDAMAN PASSES OUT Jackson, Miss., July 25. The impossible Vardaman has probably made his last appearance for public office in this state. There are five candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor and his name has not been brought forward as a contestant for the honor. This is an unusual situation. Vardaman has been one of the pictureque as well as one of the most respected figures in the political history of the state. Dark, almost to the swishness of a mulatto, he has been untubeless, the most conspicuous shouters of Negro dominance among all the public men during the past twenty-five years in any part of the South. His "fade away" is being regarded as one of the few healthy political signs of the day. Rescue Drowning Woman (By A. N. Sullivan) Memphis, Tenn., July 25—Two young white women, Donna Smith and Jennie May Smith and three white men, were rescued by two colored boatmen here when a skiff of nine persons were riding overturned. Mrs. Tom Perry, another white woman, rescued by a white hystander, being unconscious when she was taken from the water. Three young people, all of Memphis, drowned. A crowd of persons lined the bank and rescued, but evidently were unable to resist the victims. The boatmen modestly rowed away without revealing their names. ALIENS FEW IN SOUTH Richmond, Va., July 25.—Recent statistics are showing that the South has the smallest foreign population in th country as well as the smallest death rate and the largest birth rate. The Negro population is declared to play an important role in upholding the low death rate and the high birth rate of the South. Saturday, July 28, 1923 Norfolk Journal and Guide The Constitution From The Daily Times, Chattanooga, Tenn. Jus a reminder of how is happens that so many persons do not respect laws; the incident at Tuscaloosa where there has been an open an if not so open obstruction against putting Negro doctors and Negro officials in charge of the Negro hospital for disabled Negro veterans located in that city, it might be well to suggest that the "protest" is in defence of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. The clamor is not against the men who are beaten in charge of the institution, but against the character of their skins and the character of their antecedents. The Fourteenth Amendment declares in its first section. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the states in which they reside. No state shall make or enforce any laws which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state declare any person of life, liberty or property to any other process of law; nor deny to any person the equal protection of the laws." The attempt is being made at Tuskegee to terrify men of black skins, and to so agitate the emotional whites against the blacks, that the administration may feel it best for the peace and tranquility of the community and the proper functioning of the hospital to withdraw its order to Negro surgeons and officials of the city. That would of course be government by mob "susasion," and not government according to the constitution. have been having their day in this great country of ours, and that may in some measure explain, although it does not justify widespread disrespect for law we are new experiencing. We cannot fairly hold the violators of one law to strict accountability when we openly and notoriously justify ourselves in violating another law just as binding upon our good citizenship and consciences.

Coming down to breakfast late, her mother asked: "Did that young man kiss you last night?" "Now, mother, do you suppose he came all the way from Buenos Aires to make eyes at the gold fish?" Pipe dreams aren't pleasant when it's a case of plumbing, thinks J. C. Brooks. "I suppose," supposes Cecil Johnson, girls wear green shoes because they're cool and red shoes because they're red. "You can bet they don't wear red shoes because their feet are large or homey, or at any rate Norfolk girls don't."

Parable Of The Prodigal Father From Charlotte Observer. Every once in a while The Observer's friends help it to an editorial of timely nature and ment to the day. In this instance it is Mr. Erwin A. Holt of Burlington, who forwards a copy of Blake W. Godfrey's parable of the prodigal father. It tells of the father who had two sons, the younger of whom said to the father: "The portion of the thy time and thy attention, and thy companionship, and thy counsel which falleth to me" he divide unto them, his living that he paid the boy's bills, and in to select preparatory school, and in to select school, and to college and tried to believe he was doing his full duty by the boy. And not many days after, the father gathered all his interest and aspirations and ambitions and took his journey into a far country into a land of stocks and heaps and securities and other things which do not interest a boy; and there he wasted his precious opportunity of being a chum to his own son. And when he spent the very best of his life and gained money but failed to find satisfaction, there rose a mighty mifune in his heart, and began to be in want of sympathy and real companionship. And he went and joined himself to one of the clerks of that country, and they elected him chairman of the house committee and president of the club and sent him to Congress. And he went and felt have satisfied himself with the husks that other men did eat and no man gave him real friendliness. But when he came to himself he said: "How many men of my acquaintance have bays whom they understand and who understand them, who talk about their bays and associate with their bays and seem perfectly happy in the companionship of their sons, and I perish with heart hunger! I will arise to go to my son, and will say unto him, Son, I have sinned against Heaven to the sight; I am no more worthy to called thy father. Forgive me now and let me be your friend." But the son said, "Not so wish it were possible, but it is to there." There was a tim when we were to know things, when wanted someone and couse but you were too busy formation, and I got companion ship; but I got the wrong kni and now, alas, I am wrecked soul and in body and there is thing you can do for me. It is to The Whatnot Column BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.) 19. What does Coleridge-Taylor biographers say of him? Mr. W. W. G. Berwick Sayers says "Albough; certain of this friend寄答 opinions I value, have counselled avoidance of his racial qualities, Coleridge-Taylor never forgot them, never feared to defend them, and his music is fraught with their characteristics." Dr. Chas. Villiers Stanford says, "The day of his death he was never known to do an unkind act, or say an unkind word." Mr. Alfred Noyes says, "He bequeathed to the world a heritage of undying beauty. He was his own drawn from with fountains, pulsed with his life, and he lives while music lives; he great simplicity and happy courage in an alien world, and his gentleness made all that knew him less him." 20—What became of the state of Zeus? The statue of Zeus in the Temple of Olympus was the third woman Phidias, the famous sculptor, whose supposed work is still preserved in European museums, executed the effigy, which was dwood covered with sheets of fur ivory made pliable by flame. The eyes were of gems, the hair of gold. The statue was destroyed by fire in 408 A. D., about 750 years after construction. 21—What effect did the French Revolution have in Haiti? In 1791, as a result of the Free Revolution the National Assembly decreed that people of color born of free parents in Haiti were French citizens and entitled to the privileges as such. This decree raised a storm of protest among the white residents, and France revoked the decree. The Haitians thereupon organized a counter revolution, and, Great Britain and Spain upon appeal of the white residents, landed forces in the quest of the Island. In August 1793 Commissioners were sent from France, in the name of the Frém Revolution, and immediately, upon their arrival, proclaimed Universal Freedom.
