Norfolk Journal and Guide KILLS WIFE IN COURT; IS SLAIN BY POLICE ANGERED OVER HIS ARREST, MAN MURDERSPOUSE Aims Revolver at Police And Drops Dead From a Bullet From Officer's Gun; Panic In Courtroom. WAS CHARGED WITH CRUELTY TO HIS WIFE Crusader Service New York, Aug. 14—Three hundred men and women waiting for the Washington Heights Court to open yesterday morning were thrown into a panic when Norman Roberts shot and killed his wife, Nellie, as she entered the court room to press complaint of cruelty against her husband. Fifteen patrolmen lounging in the complaint room, ran to the corridor on the second floor when they heard the shots. Roberts turned his pistol toward the door of the room but Patrolman Enoch Parsons was quicker on the trigger and Roberts dropped to the floor with a bullet in his head. He died half an hour later at the Columbus Hospital. Mrs. Roberts, who was 23 years old left her husband several months ago because, she alleged, he had beaten and kicked her. She asked for a summons on Wednesday, charging that her husband had waited for her in the hallway of her mother's home, 2457 Seventh avenue, and had attacked her. Prosecutors on her she served the summons on her husband at 204 West 143 street. Roberts was in the court room, and as his wife passed him he scowled at her, and turned away, but on second thought whipped out his army revolver and fired at her. The woman fell dead. HARVESTERS TO GET UNDER WAY LOCALLY Local Man Will Soon Take Ahold of Program For Expansion In Tidewater Washington, D. C., Aug. 14-The International Order of Harvesters which launched a membership campaign in Norfolk and adjacent territory last week, through John T. Nisher, its secretary, announced the appointment of the Reverend Miles Woff, of Suffolk, as its deputy in the territory. Mr. Nisher stated that the officers of the organization are well pleased with the results thus far obtained in the Tidewater district of Virginia from the speaking engagements of Henry Lincoln Johnson at Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk. It was also stated that arrangements had been almost completed with a prominent insurance and business firm of the Virginia to become the International Order of Harvesters.

ELK RULER CONTEST MAY BE HARD FOUGHT Several Candidates With Strong Sectional Following Have Hats In The Ring--- (By Association Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill. Aug. 14—W-who is going to lead the antlered herd after the conclave? This question is the one heard oftenest as Chicago bends to the task of preparing a typical windy city welcome for the Best People On Earth. A multiplicity of candidates for the various office have shied their hats in the ring and are being boosted by the political wiscaries who are predicting victory for their various factions. Dr. Howell of New York, piloted by Harry Pace, will doubtlessly have the following of the Empire state delegation. Robert R. Jackson of Chicago, a powerful factor in many fraternal organizations, will certainly wield considerable strength among western delegations while J. Finley Wilson, the present Grand Exalted Runer, account of his successful success has attested his term as leader of the horned hosts looms as a certain bet, to upset the one term idea and succeed himself. Ruter Wilson really delivered. All of the above possibilities are said to hinge one thing and that can be summarized in one name, that of Grand Secretary Geo. Bates. He is described as being the real power behind the throne and it is commonly known from host experience. The throne is perceived noiselessly but efficiently has usually been the balance of power. Col. John R. Mashall, exalted Ruler of Ft. Dearborn Lodge, Chicago, hosts of the convention, is an active candidate for Grand Treasurer, and his chances for success are extremely good, provided R. K. Jackson is not elected Exalted Ruler or commander of the Eighth Illinois, is vice-President of the Binga State Bank, which in that event would become chief depository. The failure of one or two banks in Richmond and elsewhere this past year make this a deciding factor. Ed Wright, Charles Griffin, and Lawrence Newly are among Marshall's supporters and as they claim to control the Illinois' delegation may swap Marshall for Jackson. C. Tiffany Tolliver is the leading candidate for Trustee. But one thing is certain; the elks are going to have a rattling good time, for Chicago is ready for them. DYER BILL WILL COME UP IN THE NEXT CONGRESS Uniform State Law On The Lynching Evil May Be Advocated as Substitute For A Federal Measure. POSITION OF COOLIDGE ON BILL YET UNKNOWN By MORRIS BROWN (Washington Correspondent) Washington, D. C., Aug. 14—The most perplexing legislative problem facing President Coolidge, so far as Negroes are concerned, will be an anti-lynching bill. This question is by no means dead and Congress in its next session will be called upon "to consider the most effective means to end lynching in this country." Among the callers on President Coolidge on yesterday was Congressman L. C. Dyer, of the twelfth Missouri district, which includes the black belt of St. Louis. The anilynching bill, which failed of passage in the last session of Congress, bore his name. Mr. Dyer informed the President that he would reintroduce his bill at the next session and would submit him a brief on it. There is little or no belief that the Dyer anilynching bill can be enacted at the coming session. The Republic is too slim. Certainly there is no hope for passage in the Senate, where Democratic Senators would not even permit it to be made the unfinished business. T₂ Offer Substitute However, Senator William Cabell Bruce believes that the Dyer antidicated that he will offer a substitute in the Senate after he takes his seat in December. Senator Bruce believes that, the dYer antilynching bill is unconstitutional and antilynching the Speaker of the Senate anything. It controls criminal law and punishment for crime. There is no clause in the Constitution which I have been able to find which would sustain the Dyer bill. "If passed, the bill would do more harm than good and create a source of bitterness, could not be enforced just like the fifteenth and eighteenth amendments. "But we should not stop the effort to blot out lynching. It is the greatest blot out the good name of the country. The true way to stamp out the iniquity and disgrace of lynching is for a large number of leading men, white and black, in the Southern States to unite in a written appeal to the governors of those states to recommence the practice of some uniform law that, in addition to the penalties prescribed by the ordinary law of the land for homicide, would impose severe penalties on all public servants concerned with administration of justice who refuse or fail to protect to the fullest extent of their ability a victim of lynching. "The law also should provide a heavy fine against a county in which lynching occurred for the benefit of the victim's family. That benefit is the greatest of our earliest ways to stop the practice." Coolidge Attitude Doubtful The late President Harding favored the passage of a Federal antitraching law. Just what will be the attitude of President Coolidge in this regard is not known now, although he presided over the Senate during the Democratic filibuster against the consideration of the bill by the Senate. President Coolidge is a staunch supporter of law and justice, but whether he presided over the antitraching bill as constitutional or antitraching judicial and recommend its passage or suggest a substitute time alone can tell. There is a growing sentiment in Washington in favor of the Bruce plan. There are many who regard efforts to secure the passage of the Dyer bill as futile. They even think that Mr. Dyer himself is insincere and point to his advocacy of wines and beers and modification of the act in support of their contention that he is guided in urging the passage of an antilynching bill for the sake of political expediency. HURT ON GASBOAT George Booker, colored, suffered slight injuries of the leg just above the knee, when he was struck by the engine wheel of the gasboat Morning Light, at the foot of City Hall avenue, early yesterday. He was taken to the Public Health Hospital, and was released after his injuries had been treated. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1923 NORFOLK COLORED CLINIC National Benefit Insurance Co. Enters Field of Ordinary Life In Virginia From (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot. Since its inception in the spring of 1921, the Colored Community and Health Center has won for itself a definite place of rare standing in the life of the race in Norfolk and for its founders a daily tribute to their vision and faith in the steadily increasing numbers helped by its work. It is a memorial to the scars we must not a shaft of stone or tablet of bronze, but a never-ceasing fountain of service. One of the most important phases of work at the center is the free clinic maintained by the health division of the organization. This department has had a rapid and steady growth and to it is due largely the reputation which the center bears for work of a high character. In addition to the health work, the center has numerous other functions which have made it of valuable assistance to the betterment of the race in Norfolk. So many interests all are included in the work and these have grown to such proportions that they now serve as outlets for the energies of large numbers in the various colored communities of the city. After council appropriated $5,000 in 1921 for the maintenance of the center the first year, the Mothers' Club, connected with the gym, the equine clinic, which has about $1,000. Various additions have been made by doctors and dentists interested in the work of the clinic. A class for midwives was established and numerous lectures delivered by white doctors of the city. The staff, at its inception, was composed of fifteen physicians, three dentists and a nurse. The latter was the only paid member of the staff. Statistics of the city were based on the number per cent of the colored women are attended in confinement by midwives instead of doctors. Since the establishment of the compulsory course for midwives—the class now numbers 53—the infant mortality rate of the race has been lowered considerably-in-Norfolk. GAINED REPUTATION The clinic found in its second year that it had gained a wide reputation. Visitors came from various parts of the country to observe the methods in force. Specialists had been induced to come and lecture and has added to the prestige of the organization. Dr. Polak, of Brooklyn, has given lectures on pre-natal subjects, Washington, D. C., Aug. 14—The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, of Washington, D. C., will soon compete with all other insurance companies in Virginia, in writing "Ordinary" life policies. With a capitalization of $100,000, the company has been restricted to writing only "Industrial" business plans. The holders held Aurora's authority was voted to increase the capitalization to $250,000 so that the company might write "Ordinary" business. It is aimed to keep the company one of the greatest financial organizations created, owned and managed by colored men in the interest of the race. Twenty-five years ago the company was organized as the National Welfare Association by Mr. S. W. Rutledge, a young man who came to the National Capitol to make his mark. His total cash capital was $6.00, but he was possessed with untiring energy and faith. He gathered around himself a few loyal supporters and then husted out after business. His office furniture consisted of a table and a chair. His salary was $35 the month, and he had a young police officer and collecting premiums, which he did by pedaling his way about the city on an old bicycle. HAD SMALL BEGINNING But from that tiny beginning, by means of hard, steady work, intelligent organization and high grade personnel, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, officered, owned and conducted entirely by colored people and developed among the men and women of the race, has grown into the large and commanding position which it occupies today, with an unbroken network of employees dues paid to stockholders, with 135,000 benefitted policy holders, and $20,000,000 of insurance in force. Its assets are $750,000, including several valuable real estate properties in the District of Columbia and in four states; a reserve fund of $455,593; a surplus of $100,000, and it has on deposit $100,000 for the protection of policy holdings. To carry on its business the company has a force of 1,200 employees including 110 district managers and assistants, 40 local agents and 90 field agents. Its hope of becoming an old line one of the most important lines of the clinic work. Instruction from leading specialists also has been given on hygienic living and the intelligent preparation for motherhood. Better classes of patients are being received each month and the territory served by the center is increased. In addition to the special attention given to confinement cases, diseases and ailments of a wide variety are treated. Tests and treatment are given for social diseases, while the work in the field of tuberculosis has been on a large scale. Special efforts were made in the survey of certain districts to discover cases of tuberculosis. Use cases are treated at the clinic, where the patients are followed up when the patients are convalescent. Through the efforts of the local branch of the Anti-Tuberculosis League, many quarts of milk are distributed to patients each month and numbers of children are given free soup. ABOUT 300 A MONTH The present attendance at the clinic is about 800 a month, of which about fifty are children. A corps of fourteen physicists—on the present staff—attend the patients, aided by six trained nurses. Three dentists are connected with the organization. There is one resident nurse, who treats all emergency cases and stays at the clinic all the time. There are no resident patients, but there are provided for tonsil and adenoid patients until they are able to leave. Dr. Frank Ryder Trigg, the physician in charge, is considered one of the leading colored doctors in the South. The efficient conduct of the clinic today is due largely to his efforts. He gives up a great deal of time from his private practice to attend the poor people of his race, who cannot afford a pay doctor's fee. He is doing a great deal of work, he receives little thanks, struggling easily in the often-times discouraging battle against disease and the ignorance which is its cause. Several projects for the enlargement of the scope of the clinic and the betterment of the work are being planned. Interest now is being centered on the maternity home, while other extensions of the work have crystallized into a composite whole with the need more pressing. The clinic today is justifying the vision of those who first saw its need and of those whose physical labor, untiring toil and travail of spirit gave it birth. reserve company, with a paid up capital of $100,000, materialized in 1918, when its name was officially changed to The National Benefit Life Insurance Company. It operates in some states that no other colored company has yet succeeded in entering. On more than one occasion it has successfully met competition of the largest company in the United States, the material and Ordinary policies calculated to meet practically every need to which humanity is heir, and to materially assist in smoothing life's pathway in innumerable ways. It is the only company of its kind incorporated under laws enacted by the Congress of the United States for the District of Columbia. With its present plant and plan, everything seems ripe and ready for the gateway of the race. For whatever may eventually bring one within its protecting folds, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company promises not to disappoint them. This is the basis on which business is sought. It is realized that the company has come to stay; possessed of a perpetual charter—like the brook—goes on forever. It has educated its business and is destined to wax wightier and mightier in the unfolding of time with the increase of its business, policy holders and assets. HAD STEADY GROWTH The steady growth of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company is a testimonial to the faith, industry and loyalty of its employees, who entered into the work with an enthusiasm that knew no bounds. But the simple truth is that the man who founded this great and successful business organization benefited of the negro race was dealing with the gigantic forces of life and self development for a whole people. Mr. Rutherford, following some inner guiding instinct of faith, did not at the beginning realize himself the enormous power which he was calling into action. The power generated by combining the number of ages of a great number for the production each individual in times of emergency or need. In a word, co-operation on a great scale with systematic organization and faithful attention to every detail. The National Benefit Life Insur- WILL RESTAGE TUSKEGEE FIGHT ON HINES' MOVE Veterans' Bureau Head Accepts Recommendations of Tuskegee Objection Which Call for White Officers. COMPROMISE REGARDED AS GOVT SURRENDER Washington, D. C., Aug 14 (Special)-Director Frank T. Hines of the Veterans Bureau, has betrayed his promise to our Late President Warren G. Harding, according to the latest accounts in the Tuskegee Hospital muddle. It is alleged by the highest authorities that Director Hines has finally upheld upon our request the commanding Officer, Executive Officer and the Clinical Medical Director in the hands of white men, and further, it is thought that his latest action in making Messrs. Hare and Caldwell Commissioners to revise the operation of the hospital is adding insult to injury. These men are not nothing but plain men, but plain men of Tuskegee, Ala., and have no knowledge or experience in the operation and control of the Veterans' Bureau Hospital. These ideas carry out a gesture on the part of Hines to appease the race bating South. But out of all the gloom surrounding this tangled web we are now at least assured of solid unified Negro backing for a Negro personnel. The Negro community knows that several prominent candidates for the big places at this hospital have indicated their desire and preferment to serve under white officials but they have been double crossed and others are now slated for their promised jobs. This has resulted in a new wave of organizations and organizations that they will have the "whole hog or none" and will carry the fight to President Coolidge. Base Hope on Coolidge They are basing their hopes on the man who made "law and order" famous. The mere suggestion of intimidation on the part of the Ku Klux Klan in this Tuskegee matter is enough to move the Honorable Calvin Coolidge to take a stand analogous to the great strike stand in Massachusetts, to provide information in this particular regard is found in the latest correspondence to Calhoun who is now on duty again at the hospital. He was advised in a communication of this week that his paragraph had been noted bearing upon his opposition to Col. Stanley and was advised that he would either have to submit to the treatment of this stalwart white citizen of Alabama or The whole question affecting a Negro personnel will be restaged reset and refought at the White House in the next few days. Dr. Morris Speaks At Mt. Olive Rev. Chas. S. Morris, D. D. principal of Boydton Institute, exporter of Bank Street Baptist Church, this city, and one of the country's most eminent divines, will deliver two sermons at Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Lindenwood, Sunday, August 26, one at 11 a.m. and another at 8 p.m. The occasion affords the thousands of his friends in this community an opportunity of hearing him. Company is now doing business in the District of Columbia and in the states of New Jersey, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, and with the short time will open offices and establish an administrative force in the states of Tennessee, Kansas, Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina and Missouri. As soon as the present stock issue has been sold, application will be made for license to do business in the states of Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois and Nebraska. The laws of some of the latter states require a capitalization of not less than $200,000 before license will be granted to do the several kinds of business now written by the company. The company is located in its own five-story buildings at 600 F street, N. W.—where, 28 years ago, young Rutherford had his table and chair and paid $6 a month as tenant—and which is only one of the properties owned by the company. The officers and directors of the company are among the best men in the entailment and nation's capital, custodian of R. H. Rutherford, president and treasurer; Dr. W. A. Warfield, vicepresident; S. W. Rutherford, secretary and manager; H. Braxan, B. Baxan; B. B. Lee, S. E. Cooper and M. E. Lowery.

Crusader Service New York, Aug. 18—John Thomas, subagentway on the southbound platform of the 125th Street Station in Lenox Avenue, counting his cash at 7:30 o'clock last night he yelleds and then saw a short call to Nigro tumble down the stairs. The short one was leading and ran past the change booth and vaulted over the turnstile. "Hey, where's your money," shouted Thomas. "Got no time to answer foolish questions," yelled the short man as he walked toward the platform and leaped to the trucks. The tall man followed at his heel. He two crossed to the northbound rails as a Bromi express came thundering in. The motorman saw them and jammed on the emergency brakes, joftling the passenger and each other's arms. Fearing the worst, the motorman sprang to the rails and pounded under the train. But pursued and pursued were not there. A telephone call was sent in to the power house and the juice was cut off. Policemen arrived. The passengers, trembling and white out, followed the result of the excitement caused by the sudden stopping of the train. Trains were stalled all along the route. The police swept the tracks with searchlights, but found no trace of the colored Mutt and Jeff who had caused all the excitement. After and hour's tie-up, the search was given up and service resumed. It is thought the colored Mutt and Jeff pair ran to the next station and out to the street. Thomas said the tall one threatened to "run the short one ragged."

ACTION NOT REGARDED FAVORABLY BY RACE Special to The Journal and Guide Washington, D. C., Aug. 14 President Coolidge announced here today the appointment of C. Bascom Slepm, excongressman of Virginia, as executive secretary to the president. Thus the first appointment of the new president bears the name of the first vice literal maneuver, and one not characterized to increase among Afro- Americans confidence in the adminis- tration with the man of Massachussetts at its head. Rumblings are already being heard and it is expected that by the middle of next year the president will be instrumental among the colored electorate thrust the country will have become pronounced. Lending to this appointment the most tolerant consideration, it even then serves to cool the ardor Negroes have manifested in Cali- Coulidge and is the first shake of president, in so far as it is hoped that he will face all race-issues squarely and settled them fairly. From Ninth District C. Bascom Slemp was for a number of the publican member of the lower branch of congress. He succeeded to that position his father, Campbell Slemp and represented the Ninth District of his state, declining to stand for reelection at the last election. He is a millionarie and a notorious referee of Republican patronage in Virginia. He is the "whip of Republican lily whites in the South," and of the things considered by the un-American and undemocratic in American politics. Bascom Slemp is a graduate of that school of thought that would deny to Negroes any participation in the affairs of the government which they have defended with their blood. His appointment is repugnant to the colored people of Virginia, his home state, and he will lose no time in setting forth the voters the country over his record. It is too early to prophesy how President Coolidge will treat colored citizens of the Republic, but one thing is well known, and that is Bascom Slemp's record as a Republican congressman and leader of the party in his state. In the light of this knowledge, it is not believed that if this man should yield any influence around the white race, Negroes will have anything to do with eighteen months hence that Calvin Coolidge ever became president of the United States. Political Significance Peeping thru the shadows, in the appointment of Bassom Slemp to this position is seen a bid for Southern support by the new president in 1924, the same as that made by William H. Taft when he was in the white house. Taft's maneuver failed miserably and it is conditionally predicted that Coolidge's decision to end the funding, if he should allow his secretary, secretary or any other Southern influences to alienate the confidence of Negroes that he has to start with his chances for re-election will go up in the air. Northern and Western race politicians are losing no time in tutoring the Southern immigrant brother from the cotton plantations the Mason and Dixon line is pushing the Mason strength to the Negro vote, and is being counted on to hear the cry of his brother left in Dixie. That he will think of him when he goes to the polls is certain. And the solid South will remain solid, Slemp's appointment notwithstanding. It is useless for any Republican president to hope to corollary our support from the South to offset what we would like the North and East by his so doing. No aspirant for the presidential nomination can carry to the Republican National Convention a bag full of Southern delegates in one pocket and a bag of northern delegates in another pocket elected with the aid of Negro voters. It can't be done. SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT NOTICE There will be a Special call Meeting of the Civic League on Monday evening, August 20th at the First Church, Church, Bute Street at 8 o'clock. Matters pertaining to the new high school will be discussed. REV. C. M. LONG, President JAS. A. SPRATLEY, Secretary. Religious News And Church Activities SUNDAY AUGUST 19TH STEPHEN, THE MARTYR Acts 6: 8:15; 7: 54:60. (Fighting For The Truth) GOLDEN TEXT—Whos shall Separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Rom. 8: 35. 1. Stephen and his Enemies.— Acts. 6:8:15. "Stephen is the central figure between Jesus and Paul. Let us think of a prism that three sided bar of glass on which, if you cast a pure sided sunbeam or ray it will, it will be broken through it, he broken up into its component parts and colors, beautiful, full of radiance of various sorts, Stephen was such a prism in the church-life. On the one side of him you have the clear unbroken peace of the church's childhood, the pure joy, the unbroken peace of the early days of Stephen was such a prism in the church life. On the one side of him you have the clear unbroken peace of the church's childhood stetfast faith and pure joy, the unbroken peace of the early days of Christitianity, all simple and white as can be, but yet unconscious of its, true character; and on the other side of Stephen you have that same life, but broken, scattered and bleeding, yet bleeding so as to show its heart." Rev. James Hastings, D. D. Certain in the synagogue of the Diertines of Cyprus, and Alexandria, and of them before the wisdom and the Spirit by which Stephen smoke. "It was not the intellect, or the eloquence, or the activity of St. Stephen which made him powerful among the people and crowned his labors with such success. It was his abundant things. God uses what he allows and then forsakes for people. He chooses to use human agents, and therefore demands that the human agents shall give him of their best, but these things will be utterly useless and ineffective apart from Christ and the power of his grave." *Exp. Bible.* It was mighty easy to falsehood, but witnesses to testify against Stephen. The same identical charge which the false swearers brought against Stephen. Vs. 13, 14. "As the destruction of the temple would necessarily bring to an end the temple services, they put him in charge of charging him with saying that Jesus would change the cusions delivered by Messes." *McGryvey.* 2. Stephen's Courageous Stand for the Truth-Acts. 71-54. "Such men as Stephen are constantly needed by the church. The age in which we live is crying out for teachers who have faith to lay hold of the essentials of religion and present them in their attractions to the world, caring little for the forms in which it has sometimes been clothed, and too often disguised." - Principal Alfred Rowland, D. D. Stephen made a hold speech for Christ. Even the defence which Stephen made for himself was a more modest and effusive one. There is nothing like it in either sacred or secular history. Stephen did not mince words, "We stiffened uncircumcised in heart and ears, we do always resist the Holy Spirit, etc." They were cut to the heart. These are the same words used by the Sahedrin when confronted by Peter's bold witnessing for Christ, Acts 5: 33. Such testimony was like a lash on the bigoted mind of those who wrote "Their wild beasts of them, and they carried like wild beasts. Their eyes were narrowed, their brows lowered, their beards protruded, their mouths snarled, they had become human tigers. 3. The Glorious Death of Stephen. Acts. 7: 55-60. Blessed are they that have been mourned for righteousness' sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven—laws. Stephen being full of the Holy Spirit, saw the glorified Christ sitting on the right hand of God and power. But those who were determined to kill the preacher of truth stopped their curs, cried with loud noise, and jumped him with one accord, and stoned Stephen to death. There stood by Saul, holding the clothes of these murderers. "When persecution's torrent blaze Wraps the unshrinking martyr's head. When fade all earthly flowers and bays, When humankind friends are gone and fled. Is he alone in that dark hour, Who owns the Lord of love and power?"—(Keble). As Stephen, the first martyr of the Christian church was dying, he prayed fervently and unselfishly for his enemies and his murderers. Parker was quite young an indulged ask him "What did God do for Stephen?" implying that God should have saved him from the cruel death. Parker answered nobly, "What did God do for him? He gave him power, to pray for the forgiveness of those who stoned him." BRIGGSOGRAMS "The blood of the martyrs is the blood of the church." -Textillian. He wished for Christ today is a martyr. You may kill the bearer of truth but the truth lives on. The truth, not a lie cuts to the heart. The ones who are full of the holy Ghost can witness boldly and breach courageously.

Morris, Executive Secretary of Allen Christian Endeavor League, Heads Party Enroute to Birmingham, Alabama. Lawrenceville, Va., Aug. 14.—With the singing of Hymn 672, "Blest Be The Tie." and closing prayers by Archdeacon Russell, the Convocation of Southern Virginia, in session at St. James' Church, Warfield, Rev. J. Alvin Russell, A. M. rector, August 7-9th, closed one of the most interesting and perhaps most sessions in its history. Perhaps the most important reverence resisting churches, Sunday schools and auxiliaries were present. The Convocation opened 10:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, with morning prayer said by the rector of the church. At 11 a.m., the sermon was preached by the Rev. E. E. Miller, B. D., rector of St. Stephen's, Petersburg, from the text, 21:11 of Isaiah, "Watchman, What of the Night?" The sermon was a very able and helpful one. After the sermon Holy Communion was celebrated by Archdeacon Russell, assisted by the rector. Bishop Thompson was to have celebrated the Communion, but was for some cause prevented from coming. After the sermon Holy Communion and adoption of rules of order and some other matters of routine, the Convocation adjourned for lunch, which was a tasty and very appetizing meal served by the members of the Woman's Auxiliary in the parish house. The conventation re-convened at 2:30 p.m. The order of the day was the Eishops' and Archedeacon's addresses. As neither Bishop was present, the body listened to the Archedeacon's address which was devoted mainly to a review of the work of the future. The address was optimistic in tone and very informing as to actual conditions and needs in the diocese. Among the important things emphasized were the duty of the churches to the Nation-Wide Campaign, making efforts to meet all assessments and apportioning more money from local funds for the support of the clergy and church projects. In connection with local support the Archedeacon pointed out that last year $9,000 were given for salaries of ministers, teachers, etc., from dioceses and churches and colored churches had not contributed liberally as they might have done. Reports of delegates to the last Council and election of delegates to the 1924 Council completed the afternoon session. Delegates to the Council 1924: Clerical, Rev. E. E. Miller and J. Alvin Russell; Lay, Rev. E. Reid and J. R. Guevara; Dr. Alterton; clerical Rev. H. T. Butler and Rev. M. E. Brichet; Lay, Messrs. S. J. Thompson and E. W. Johnson. J WEDNESDAY MORNING WEDNESDAY MORNING "A paper, "Our Responsibility to the Church's Program," by Archdeacon Josephine. This paper set forth succinctly that the church Program should get hearty support. A comparative statement of the amounts asked of each church and the amounts actually given by each church and mission showed that only three churches, St. Cyprin's, Hampton; Grace, Norfolk, and Ascension, Palmer's Springs, had raised the mota asked. Each of these three churches had the asked for amounts, but had accepted by a handsome per centage. All others failed of the total by varying per centages. Rev. H. T. But A large delegation left Norfolk Monday morning via Seaboard Air Line for Birmingham, Ala., the seat of the Fifth Connectional Young People's Congress of the African Methodist Church.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON There was in the afternoon a session of the Woman's Auxiliary, in the Parish School building, Mrs. C. E. Smith, the president, was in the chair. Reports from various auxiliaries were very encouraging, especially in the spiritual ideals. The report of the secretary was an interesting resume of work and addition to increased offerings for local purposes the auxiliary raised and turned over $75.00 for the "Virginia Morgan Russell Memorial Scholarship" to support some young man at the Bishop Payne Divinity School. The organization offered: President, Mrs. C. E. Smith; vice-president, Mrs. P. B. Young; secretary, Mrs. A. C. Turner; corresponding secretary, T. Butler, and J. I. Jiggetts, of the thank offering. A short memorial service for President Harding was held at 11 o'clock, conducted by Archdeacon Russell. The Rev. S. W. Grice, Warden of Bishop Payne Divinity School, was the speaker. THURSDAY MORNING The Church (Sunday) School Convention was presided over by Dr. W. E. Reid. The reports from the various church Sunday schools were very encouraging. A very helpful round table discussion: "What Steps Should be Taken to Increase Interest in Our Church (Sunday) Schools," followed the report of the delegates. Remarks by Arendonck Russell and others on the benefit of the Religious Summer School held at Lawrenceville. Nooooo prayers were said by Arendonck Russell. The joint meeting of the Convention and Auxiliary was distinguished by an excellent sermon by the Rev. J. P. Josey, minister-in-charge of St. Mark's Mission, Suffolk, from the text Isaiah 5:6. This closed the Sunday School Convention. The report on State of the Church, by Rev. E. E. Miller, chairman, showed progress along many lines. Among other things, 2,036 communicants, 113 confirmations were reported, and $21,956 money contributions raised for various purposes. The most urged more liberal giving by the churches for ministers' support. The per capita annual contribution of country churches to this object was 60 cents, city churches $4.50. The churches were urged also to do more for themselves as the diocese contributed largely to the salaries of the clergy and parochial school teachers in the Archdiocese. The fact that the diocese had appropriated $6,500 for buildings and equipment. In the discussion following the report the adoption of a budget for every church and mission was suggested and approved. It was also decided to give a banner each year to the church making the best general report. The Finance Committee reported a total of $328.61 for Convocation purposes, this year as against $70 last year. A motion was unanimously carried urging the goal for next year shall be $500.00. St. Cyprian's, Hampton, was selected as the next place of meeting and at 4:15 p.m. the Convocation adjourned. are Institute, conducted by experts specialists in advanced and modern Sunday school methods, Christian Endeavor methods, missionary methods and social service work.

AN OPEN LETTER In response to an inward impulse of a supernatural desire to an expression of song, divinely sung, I am giving to the public a long felt gift that I have been firmly convinced that was given me by my Heavenly Father. I A. B. have every reason to believe that I have this portion of the great plan of work to be done for the Master, that I am to do my part through song. Again, I am saying to the public, that in making this burning desire known through an humble expression of song, I am not seeking to be put in the front rank of fame, nor am I asking to be called by any designated name as applied to certain religious sect; my chief motive and only desire is to give, in song, the desire of my heart in singing praises to God. I am offering to the citizens of Norfolk my services in any way that I may be used in singing the Songs of Zion. If at any time I fail to respond, you may rest assured that it was for reasons over which I had no control, for I feel that I must use all the powers that are within me to help carry, through song, the Gospel. Going to a church fully blessed me to give to my fellow man, and as an humble servant for the Master my time, my means, my all for His cause. To the Tidewater Delegates and Visitors of the Virginia Baptist State' Sunday School Convention: This is to call your attention to the fact that the roll call will be called in Charlottesville Tuesday morning, August 21, at 9 a.m. in the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and you are expected to answer to your mind. *All delegates of Tidewater are advised to be in Newport News to take the 10 a.m. train by the way of C. and O., and a special car will be arranged in Richmond for all delegates and visitors of the Con- vention.

"Mr. Bowling," said the porter, "there's a lady on the phone askin' for you; says she's got to talk with you." The Virgin rushed to the telephone and called, "Hello, hello." The Virgin's heart began to pump; he knew that voice as he knew no other. He could almost see the face at the other end of the wire, the lambent black eyes, the apple-round cheeks, the rose-red lips at the transmitter, thrilling along the wire to his own. A sudden warmth came over his body, delightful, weakening, seductive; his hand trembled as he held the receiver. He ground his teeth, and tried to pull himself together. "This is weakening," he said to himself. "Hello, repeated the voice. Are! But you told me," said the there? "Yes," he said, clenching his free hand that I was not a gentleman hand to control himself. and you did not wish to see me "And you know my voice?" any more. "N-No," he managed to say. "Oh, did I? Well, you were a 'Oh,' said the voice with a new little bad boy, you know. And no dignity, 'then there is nothing other boy had seen that bad. I more to say, Good-bye—" "Wait a moment," said the Virgin before he could check himself. "Give me a chance to guess." "You should know who I am," said the voice with a touch of pique. "I addressed you as Mister Virgin. How many ladies call you that? Or did I too quickly believe you when you said you knew no other ladies in Boston? I rather expect untraits from other men, but I never dreamed that you could tell one." "I thought you were angry with me," he said hastily, his wits beginning to scatter under the spell of the voice. "You know you said I was not a gentleman." "Oh, said Beatrix Marley, "so you know my voice after all. Why did you say you didn't? Never mind answering," she added with a laugh; "I know why. It is because you have developed a sudden genius for telling them." "The Virgin thrilled all over, "But listen," she continued and he could all but see her pouting, "why havent I heard from you? Its two weeks since Bloody Monday and you haven't come near me. I finally telephoned to see if you were all right. You might have written or something to ask if I had fully recovered from the shake-up."

"Ah, she said "But you told me," said the Virgin, innocently mystified, "you told me that I was not a gentleman and you did not wish to see me any more." "Oh, did I? Well, you were a little bad boy, you know. And no other boy had been that bad. I was really angry, I assure you, and I am still when I think of it. In proof of which she was calling him up on the telephone. But the Virgin, who knew nothing about women, was blind to the inconsistency of that. He actually burned with shame. "But you forgive me, don't you? I had never done anything like that before; but you were so wonderful, so dazzling, so irresistible I—I did it before I knew it. Forgive me won't you?" "Well," she said, as if carefully considering it, "I'll think it over and tell you when I see you again. Well, when will that be?" He hesitated. "Duck, boy, duck! It's coming your way," said a warning voice within him. "Why, I don't know," he said "you know that I'm a busy man. My studies—" "Studies, studies, studies. That is the excuse you college boys always give when you don't want to do a thing." "But I really want you to, only I—" "If you want to, you will. I must stop now. My mother wants me to go shopping with her. I'll be home tomorrow night; come or not, as you wish. But you will come, won't you? Good-by—Chris." ss.

"We had best he sent," she said, as if to ward him off; then she added vigorously, "and I must sit can now not easily occupy a terrible young man, Mr. Virgin, and I must keep the way of retreat open this time." "Oh, don't say that," he begged politely, taking a chain, "Haven't you forgiven me yet? "I'll tell you later," she laughed, taking a seat on the sofa. "You are beautiful to-night," he said, his eyes devouring her. She waved the compliment away with a laugh and an undulant motion of her hands. The Virgin's heart began to swell unbearably. Every move and sweep of her eyelashes seemed to brush his face, every glance made his nerves tremble. She looked at him pensively, leaning on her arms at the end of the sofa. a "Tell me some things about yourself," she said. I've always wished to know you. Deep in my heart Twenty-five Dividends Paid. rtunity d Woman The Virgin did his best the next day. He marshalled a hundred reasons for not calling on Beatrix Marley. It was fatal to his work, it had ruined many good follows, it might turn out to be his iron alter, and so forth and so on. But to each argument came the reply—"Chris," coming in a rich contrasto from the lovest lips in Boston. The result was never in doubt. At eight o'clock in the evening Mr. Christopher Bowling rang the door bell at the home of Miss Beatrix Marley. She opened the door and his heart vaulted at the sight of her. She was dressed in flimsy light-blue which set off her black hair and peach-colored face, and when she moved the dress waved and folded and unfolded like something alive. "Ah, you did come didn't you?" she said, in a tone that was a kiss in itself, and her eyes not his with a look that made him feel as if the world depended on him. "I hoped you were not going to let a lonely girl sit out the evening in disappointment," she continued "Oh, you could have plenty of company," said the Virgin. "Not this evening, she said with a side-tong smile. "I took a leaf out of your book and told some little whippers, so that if you should come we could have the evening to ourselves." The Virgin had not yet sat down and at the word "ourselves" he moved unceountably, nearer to her. Every day you see women with beautiful hair. Don't envy them.

"You're far more interesting than you think you are." In a few minutes he was telling her the story of his life, just as any other man would have done for a pretty girl. It was a short talk, for nothing much had happened to the Virgin. One thing, however, awakened her interest; he sly confined his belief in palmistry. "Oh how delightful!" she explained. "I wonder if you could read my palm. No? Ah, but you should try," she said, extending her hand. The Virgin crossed the room, she moved a pillow on the sofa, and he sat down beside her. She placed her palm in his. "I just know you can read me," she said, looking up at him with her head to one side. "And you must read something nice. It would be awful for a a great big man like you to read something bad for a little girl. The Virgin held that soft hand in his; he looked at her, Bestrix, so close to him, and trembled. She bent over her palm, her hair swirled his chuck. The blood came foaming into the Virgin's head; he gripped her palm, both palms. She raised her face with a starched look. "No, no, you must not—Mr. Bowling, Mr. Bowling, you forget." He released her hand. He felt he was choking. "Bestrix, Bestrix, you know I can't help it," he said, his voice shaking with acridity.

"A-a-ah," she said, waiving her fingers in his face, "you said you were never, never going to do anything like that, again." She tapped him slightly on the lips and the Virgin was on again.

Send $1.00 Today FARMERS' CONGRESS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION TO MEN OF SOIL SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1923 Farm Maker's Club, Agent, North Car. Greensboro, N.C., Aug. 14. About five years ago Mr. C. R. Hudson, State Agent; Mr. J. R. Pierce, Field Agent; Mr. L. E. Hall Dixon, Agent and I met in Dr. Kligore's office and discussed one method of forming a central organization among the rural people of the colored race for the purpose of giving them an opportunity to see what is being done in other parts of the country in change with their more pro- gressive brothers. It also would give the experts at Raleigh and Washington an opportunity to render a much needed service that would be otherwise impossible, because it was easier for these people to come to them in person than they could see them with these experts out. Aside from the expense it was a physical impossibility for them to do so. So Dr. Kligore, our director, told us that whatever organization we could work out for the purpose of helping to rural people meet the needs of the people of Mr. C. R. Hudson, State Agent, would be able with him. Mr. Hudson in turn asked Mr. Hall, Mr. Pierce, and myself to suggest a plan of organization suitable for the purpose in mind. On one hot summer day in July we held a conference in the park near the passenger station in Raleigh, where we formulated plans and later invited us to attend. Although we had our plans of meetings and satisfactions we wished to discuss the, we did not have a suitable name, Mr. Hudson suggested that we call it the "North Carolina Negro Farmers' Congress." This name was accepted and Mr. Hall and I went to work advertising the meeting, and with the assistance of the rural supervisors and farm demonstration agents we worked up a plan to hold at the A. and T. College, Greensboro, N. G. August 1018. This meeting met with such an unusual apprehension and seemed to have created so much interest and caused so much inspiration that it was decided to hold a semi-annual session in various Negro centers of the state, and our annual session at Greensboro this summer will be held in a new plan. Our first semi-annual session was held in New Bern, N. C. the second at the Joseph K. Bricks School in Edgecomb County, third at Goldsboro, N. C, and the fourth at Lumberton, N. C. These meetings have produced expected effect. So this year we had the largest attendance in the history of the orphanage, and we at least eight hardy people in attendance, the most of whom were farmers and their families. The program was very rich and intensely interesting and inspiring from beginning to end, nearly every phase of rural development was discussed during the meeting. We had the most lively general discussions by the farmers themselves it was almost like a ever witnessed, it was almost like a meeting in church. Proper methods of handling the soil, Planning the Farm work, Food and Feed Crops, Money Crops other than Cotton and Tobacco, Pastures and Dairy Cows, Poultry and Hogs, the Home Garden, Making the Farm home more attractive and Community operation are some of the important topics that were discussed. We had fine talks on health and sanitation, rearing the rural children, giving them the needed care and encouragement, creating in them an interest and desire for life by making it more attractive. The women also organized at this meeting and put over a magnificent program. Teaching the farm women how to turn old clothes into useful garments and thus economize the expense of clothing the family, cooking attractive meals with ordinary articles of fooding and preserving, garden and kitchen, and all of which went home to the audience in a most effective manner. On Friday the A, and T, College gave its usual free Barbecue Dinner and Banquet, more than six hundred people took their meals in grilling hot shell and were highly encouraged, the splendid dinner which included the spiceless dinner, but ice cream much more alike. I think it worthy of mention that Mr. J. W. Jeffries and his Alamance county farmers brought a truck load of watermelons and had a watermelon tent free to all at the close of our Friday evening lesson. All these contributions to program intensity the interest and which the character of the work was going to do by paying the way to it in the future where we shall reach and serve a larger number of rural people. This meeting was not only attended but represented about twenty-five counties in the most thickly populated section of the state, and possibly more than one hundred communities were represented. As these people go back to the counties and communities full of enthusiasm and inspiration, spreading the news of the good things they heard, observed and experienced, the urgency and magnifying the enfluence of the Congress in a way that makes it impossible for us to comprehend the good accomplished. It is inspiring to hear some of these farmers tell how they have staked their foot from the bottom to a substantial foundation. It is surprising how much clear money of them are making, it is interesting to note now liberal some the landlords are to their tenants and the large amount of clear money some of the tenants are making. One man reported $1,145.16. No wonder Negroes from the far South think they can reach North Carolina, it is a far better place for many of them than the North, for we believe the South is the most logical, the most hopeful and the best place for Negro development where ever living conditions can be made satisfactory. With the State and United States Department of Agriculture co-operating with the leading farmers and most distinguished agriculturists and scientists in great meetings like this it is almost vain for us to attempt to imagine the good that can be achieved in the ultimate end for the entire State of North Carolina.

Suffolk, Va—The Booker T. Washington School League mel Monday evening, August 5, in its regular monthly meeting. A. let tor was read to the league from the city school board advising the members that it was impossible to grant the wgent request of the j Parents’ League for an additional grade to the present 8th grade jcourse and an assistant for the school at this time. ‘The members present were much disappointed since they felt from the previous attitude of the board that this much would certainly be ranted, However the league mem- ‘Gers ‘are determined to keep this matter before the school authori- ties until some favorable action is taken on it. With the best state schools ‘having higher curriculums, if some ‘action ig not taken in regards to the Suffolk school situation the children of this city will very soon find themslves unable to meet the entrance requirements of these higher: sels ‘he league calls upon the citizens of Suffolk to wake up to this vital need in regard to their schools and calls upon the pulpit and the pew to come to the rescue of the chil- dren of this community. As it is conceded to be the duty of the city to grant to zAI its children an op- portunity to succeed in life and the duty of tho republic to educate its children, the people of Suffolk will not neglect so important a du-_ wy.

For some unexplained reason they ul ways prefer to ignore any history that has preceded the particulm occasion under discussion. ‘The most recent exhibition of the sort has. been the criticisms that were written about “Salome,” the production that was presented in Chicago wnder most favorable 0- cial auspices at the Avenue Thea- ter. ‘The comment was unusually favorable, but why in the world did each tnd every. one who wrote on.the subject treat the thing as x new something under the sun when every one of them knew bet- ter? Is it a part of the editorial practice of ull American journal- ist to ignore as far as possible the achievements of the race on the stage? In this case even the excellent histary of the very tists, com menfled was ignored. Practically every member of that cast was an actor who had passed thru tedious and painstaking experiences in the commercial dramatic stock and mo- tion picture productions that have in carlier days inspired the same style of commendation. No refer- ence was made to these accomplish- ments. The same has been true of a recent story in a motion pic- ture magazine that diseussed the merits of one picture producing company with the implication that there were no others. If every achievement of the cal- ored artists is to be regarded as the beginning of things, the race will never have a theatrical his- tory. The work of Ira Aldridge, Redpath’s Sam Lucas and Tyres Sisters’ Company, the Pekin Stock Coinpany, the Lafayette Players and all the others who have con- tributed to the steady advance of the profession will have been in vain, and, precisely as they will being relegated into oblivion, just so will those praised today be ig- nored at the next advance, Picture in your mind these play- ers and Charles S. Gilpin being ig- nored when some publicity may lacerue to some other venture that may be so fortunate as to obtain ‘the approval of the critics, ‘The most unhappy part of the whole thing is the fact that the colored publishers have reprinted these comments in their papers Just as they were originally writ- ten for the white publication, Few, if any, look the pains to augment the stories with information from their own knowledge of the pre- vious histrionic achievements of the performers mentioned, nor to alter | the phrasing that conveyed the er- roneous impression that these were “First Happenings.” While they are not many, let us co-operate with the handicapped Negro artiste to preserve the tra- ditions of his profession. Let not one iota of its hard-earned pro- gress ef ignored. ‘The Negro is in absolutely every phase of the amusement business, NU-LIFE SYSTEM MADAM C, J. WALKER SYSTEM - Mme. M. O.

Among them are the Abbie Miteh- ell Company, in New, York, while some criticize the performance of Gilpin and others praise it, while the “Plantation Days” production is taking the windy city by storm, Daring the torrid season, which is slangily called “summer,” ex- hibitors secasionully prupare spec- ial warm-weather bills which are composed entirely of short subjects.

Blues As A Race Creation Blace:are:dintloctly the srentted of the colored people. ‘They live ithem, thy breathe them and they ‘write them, A white man has a- bout as much right -to compose blues ag a man without any know- Hedge of music would have.to write a symphony. ‘Phe exave for blues is now at its height. Mechanical companies are tumbling over each other in their eagerness to discover real blues. There wae bushels of inferior com: positions on the market labeled blues, but the genuine article by ‘born. writers of blues is as scarce ‘as the proverbial hen's teeth. A teal blues has a ecrtain struttin vhythm that is irressistible, It sways the hearer almost with ev- ery note, and underneath it alt there is the wall of the aborigine. Perhups no other publishing house has taken as much trouble to un- earth genuine blues as the B. B. Marks Music Company. ‘These people were pioneers at the xame. In the days before blues were universally popular they co!- lected such’ types of this style of composition as “Tischomingo Blues “Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble.”_ “Gorvine Blues,” and “Graveyard Blues,” No mechanieal company can boast of a complete blues catalog without. these fumos leaders. And now that the call is more acute than ever! those record companies which have ‘not as yet listed these nombers, or which are not satisfied with their former recordings made some years ago, havé not. only remade them, but ‘are reporting’ most astounding domand and sales for evvery one of them. It has been no easy task i “The House of Hits”. to find blues that will measure up to the standard of these numbers, but they have at lust succeeded in do- ing ‘so thru a special tour of the South arranged for that purpose. scegttsseensssaneestriagetsezstacastttce Ce re i MON.

Perhaps President Coolidge may find power under "the general welfare" clause of the Constitution to force those concerned to operate or let others operate the coal mines. It is to be hoped that the agitation to give the Afro-Americans of Norfolk more package for open breathing spaces will succeed. In such hot days as we have been having in August the necessity for such breathing spaces for young and old has been driven home to us in a most forebable and disagreeable manner. We ought to have relief, and we have faith to believe our City Fathers will make a positive move to give it to us. It appears by reports of the newspaper correspondents at Washington that one of the embarrassments President Coolidge will have to deal with is the unusual number of Ohio office-holders in Washington. The people of Ohio and Indiana appear to make politics a business more so than the people of the other States. Of the six Republican Presidents we have had from Ohio since the administration of President Grant, not one of them has been satisfactory to the Afro-American people. President Harding being among the most unsatisfactory of them all. William Pickens, who thinks very rapidly, and has a mouthful of unbelief, tells our children that "the most reasonable proposition up to date is, "There are no ghosts." Mr. Pickens evidently never saw his own shadow, which is the ghost of him, the image in which God made him, his male and female, and called their name Man. He ought to get acquainted with his shadow. The atmosphere surrounding us, the air we breathe, is full of ghosts, and those who have vision and hearing see and hear them, although they may not be seen and heard by those close to us, as was the case with Saul on the way to Damaseus. There are things in the occult not dreamed of by Mr. Pickens in his sort of philosophy. Don't you believe any one who tells you there are no ghosts. He don't know "man and what is in men" who tells you so.

Lindenwood Health-Menace It is gratifying to learn that the Department of Public Welfare has taken steps to abate the health-menace in Lindenwood originating in that city refuse dump facing Ludlow street. Residents living within the area of the nuisance requested the JOURNAL AND GUIDE to call the attention of the health officials to conditions prevailing in their neighborhood. After an investigation of the complaint the Journal AND GUIDE communicated with Dr. Schenk It is gratifying to learn that the Department of Public Welfare has taken steps to abate the health-menace in Lindenwood originating in that city refuse dump facing Ludlow street. Residents living within the area of the nuisance requested the JOURNAL AND GUIDE to call the attention of the health officials to conditions prevailing in their neighborhood. After an investigation of the complaint the JOURNAL AND GUIDE communicated with Dr. Schenk over the telephone and received his assurance that action would be taken to remedy the situation at once. On the following day a gang of workmen was covering the source of the trouble with a coat of lime. The readiness with which the Welfare Department acted in this matter is reassuring. Action of this kind promotes confidence in the city administration and olics for it the good will of all the citizens. We hope that health authorities will give this matter their attention until all cause for complaint has been entirely removed. Some Epigrams by President Coolidge Some of the pointed sentences gathered from the public addresses of President Coolidge during the course of his public career indicate his attitude toward government and citizenship. We furnish a few of them here, as follows: "It is neither Government nor society that creates conflicts, but those who defy their rules." "Justice granted brings justice in return. Injustice breeds discontent and destruction. It is not only righteous but expedient for capital to give labor a square deal." "Education tends to bring the reason and experience of the past into a solution of the problems of the future. Avoid class distinction." "There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, any time." "There must be an increasing reliance upon religion." "It is not a change that is needed in our Constitution and laws so much as there is need of living in accordance with them. The most fundamental precept of them all, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, has not yet been brought into universal application." If the sentiments contained in these paragraphs are carried into the Administration of National affairs we shall have something new and better in the administration of National Editorial Page of Meet Mr. Slemp, Executive Secretary The first significant political move of President Coolidge was the appointment of ex-congressman Bascom Slemp, of Virginia, as his executive secretary. Mr. Slemp holds the whip-hand in Southern Republican politics and it is obvious that there is a carefully made connection between his appointment and the procurement of Southern delegates to the next Republican National Convention pledged to the candidacy of President Coolidge. It is not apparent to the casual observer how the millionaire ex-congressman could be otherwise useful to the President or comfortable in the position of private secretary. Such a political move on the part of President Coolidge will doubtless be regarded by many as wise and expedient in the light of the exegesis of his present political situation, but it forbodes difficulties of a serious nature for the Republican party. Mr. Slemp is one of the chief originators and executioners of the notorious plan to entirely eliminate the Afro-American element of the electorate from any voice or participation in Republican party councils or conventions, city, county, district, state or national. Mr. Slemp is the genius loci of the whole "illy white" system, which has failed so signally to do what it was intended to do—break the Solid South—and that our new president, with his traditional New England Puritanism and democracy should find use for the arti erger equantarium in such close confidential relationship is a sign of capitulation to the most extreme demands of political expediency, and a cause for wholesome distrust and defection on the part of a very large element of the Republican party, which in recent years has become a factor to be seriously reckoned with in states as New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and even in Massachusetts, the president's home state. If Mr. Slemp, the millionaire ex-congressman, was just a capable middle-age man, with lots of business and executive ability and political sagacity, receptive for an opportunity to advance his own private and political fortunes, he familiar with Mr. Slemp and with Republican party politics could view with little surprise and concern his acceptance of the post of executive secretary to the President. But the wealthy high priest of "illy whism" has so use for the job. On the circumstances looms purely as a political appointment, and Mr. Slemp runs true to form we may expect see in the next election a very larger defection of the Afro-American party vote man occured in recent elections in Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York. President Coolidge may be impressed, by season of the large number of wreaths that the South placed upon the late Presidentarding's grave, that now is the opportune time to "break the Solid South," but this paper papers the prophecy that he is mistaken in theusion that—with the possible exception of Tennessee and Oklahoma—the South will place any votes in the electoral college for a Republican president.

The Republican Party at Sea When President Harding assumed the duties of his high office he had the confidence of the Nation, which gave him a plurality of the seven million votes; he had a united party in Congress and the Republican National Committee. When he died the confidence of the Nation had been shaken in his firmness of purpose but not in his honesty of intentions, and he had failed to control the Republican morality in Congress insofar that three groups Republican Senators had developed—the regulars, the Progressives and the Farm-Bloc, and it was impossible to get them together so that they would do anything desired, or the country needed should be made, and the chairman of the National Republican party went so far as to challenge the right of the President to have a foreign policy did not approve of, thus to questioning the right of the President to speak as the head of Republican party. Leadership of the Republican party at the time of President Harding's death was so much in dispute as to make it highly probable as to his renomination to succeed him next year. And as the leadership of the city was all split up into factions, so the bank and file of the party was restless, disfruitful and uncertain, and would have gone the polls next year in that frame of mind, which always spells defeat. Will President Coolidge take hold of the management of the party in such a masterful as to reconcile the warring leaders and write the rank and file? That is the question which the wise ones are wrestling with, which President Coolidge, by his conduct affairs during the next eighteen months, answer. We naturally hope that he can answer it in the affirmative.

Free Farms For White Settlers Some white landholders in South Carolina have lost some 50,000 of their Afro-Americans and farm laborers, and who have desolated farms and poverty staring them face, are trying to work out a plan by to secure white immigrants to take the jobs of the workers who have gone away of the plans is to offer free land to set, whom they will carefully sift for capable workers sufficiently able financially to carry The whole business is in the construction, dependent upon many contingencies, ing the followig: (1) They can not out the immigrants they want, nor the nation of Europe they want to get them frop, use the restricted immigration act stands the way: (2) They cannot get the kind of Some white landholders in South Carolina who have lost some 50,000 of their Afro-American tenants and farm laborers, and who have only desolated farms and poverty staring them in the face, are trying to work out a plan by which to secure white immigrants to take the places of the workers who have gone away. One of the plans is to offer free land to settlers, whom they will carefully sift for capable farmers sufficiently able financially to carry on. The whole business is in the construction, and dependent upon many contingencies, among them the followig: (1) They can not sift out the immigrants they want, nor the section of Europe they want to get them frop, because the restricted immigration act stands in the way; (2) They cannot get the kind of white settlers they desire because such settlers do not care for the sort of conditions, political and economic, with that prevail in the Southern States, with which they are acquainted, more or less', by newspaper reports and by information gathered by the foreign embassies of all the European Nations at Washington, which they convey in one way and another to the immigrants of their respective Nationalities, and which determines their decision as to the States in which they care to settle. The Nation, published at New York, the most powerful weekly publication in the country, and among the most radical, in reciting the untoward conditions in the South which are constraining Afro-Americans to leave the South, says, Mr. W. W. Alexander, in the Christian Index, "nastribes the exodus from the South not to the 'pulling of the North' but to the 'shoving of the South.'" The Nation's conclusion being that "it is estimated that 250,000 Negroes have migrated North in the last six months. No wonder!" No. Henry W. Grady of the Atlanta Constitution, once said that the South has "the best and most contented labor in the world," but that was a long time ago, and much water has since gone over the dam. Class legislation and irresponsible mob violations of the common rights of citizens, have done their horrible work in the past years, and only the modification of some and the repeal of much of the legislation and the complete eradication of irresponsible mob violations can restore the old order of contentment and helpful relations. Free farms to white settlers will not do it. Norfolk Colored Clinic The account of the activities of the Black Colored Clinic as given in and appearing in another column of this encouraging. Conceived out of a service without the hope of material work stands as a monument to the success and to the love of mankind that have made its present results at it. It is related that in the preparation for the medical profession you and women are continually reminded of their first duty in the pursuit of the need to be their fellows, without personal compensation. Whether this is 'true or not, the purpose of the history of the profession are ill-brilliant examples of heroic and service rendered without the hope of it. It is refreshing in this day when it seems to be predominantly a materialistic and persons in any line of endeavor time to serve their fellows for the serving. The medical profession is such we can invariably turn and place examples of unselfish service. Again, the work of these people we producing this clinic reminds us we need has become the treatment of sick people well poor to be doing himself poor. Now-a-days the move along the lines of preservation. Every physician would ratchet his patient before the patient is sick and try to keep him from a worse if the doing of it will prevent ever again requiring the doctors. It is fortunate for any community that we mist people whose loyalty and the public welfare reach beyond the pocketbooks. And when our race, ignores its masses in health education are entangled as they are economically, preyed on the calibre as illustrated in the Norfolk clinic, we can take course confidence that we are truly developing and not a dying people. The work of the Mothers' Club in co-operation with this clinic comes in for more than that of the doctors and not mothers could not, of course, administratively to the patients, but they rely on a work of helpfulness in order to provide equipment for the in-health and poor health fall the healthentially and physically weak in it for a life time of nursing at it. They watch the sick bed where they have turned away and the stitch piercest the heart of a mother the work is proper that we show our appreciation of our clinic in every way. We ready to put our shoulders to the task we are called upon. The account of the activities of the Norfolk Colored Clinic as given in an article appearing in another column of this paper is encouraging. Conceived out of a spirit of service without the hope of material reward, its work stands as a monument to the unselfishness and to the love of mankind by those who have made its present results attainable. It is related that in the preparation for entering the medical profession young men and women are continually reminded that their first duty in the pursuit of their work will be to their fellows, without regard to personal compensation. Whether this is 'true or not, the pages of the history of the profession are illuminated with brilliant examples of heroic and noble service rendered without the hope of pay. It is refreshing in this day when our age seems to be predominately a materialistic one, to find persons in any line of endeavor finding the time to serve their fellows for the good of serving. The medical profession is one to which we can invariably turn and pluck shining examples of unselfish service. Again, the work of these people who are conducting this clinic reminds us how advanced has become the treatment of diseases. Time was when a physician who worked to keep people well was thought to be foolishly keeping himself poor. Now-a-days the profession moves along the lines of preventive treatment. Every physician would rather get ahold of his patient before the patient is really sick and try to keep him from getting sick, even if the doing of it will prevent him from ever again requiring the doctor's services. It is fortunate for any community to have in its midst people whose loyalty and devotion to public welfare reach beyond the thought of pocketbooks. And when our race, ignorant as are its masses in health education and disadvantaged as they are economically, produces men of the calibre as illustrated in the work of the Norfolk clinic, we can take courage in the confidence that we are truly developing a living and not a dying people. The work of the Mothers' Club in conjunction with this clinic comes in for no less praise than that of the doctors and nurses. The mothers could not, of course, administer professionally to the patients, but they have carried on a work of helpfulness in raising funds to provide equipment for the institution. It is this group of people upon whom sickness and poor health fall the hardest. The mentally and physically weak infant comes in for a life time of nursing at their hands. They watch the sick bed when all others have turned away and the sting of death piercest the heart of a mother the worst of all. It is proper that we show our appreciation of the work of our clinic in every way and stand ready to put our shoulders to the wheel when we are called upon.

Certain recent happenings in Paris present in rather a curious light Americans coming from a country in the fundamental law of which is incorporated the theory of the equality of men. Indeed, the French Government has been put to a good deal of embarrassment since a recent invasion of these visitors from the land of France, in a theory that a difference in the color of the skin involves a fundamental difference in the rights of human beings before the law. Not long ago a party of Americans riding on a bus in Paris has the supreme effort to make violent protests against the presence of a party of French African officers on the same vehicle. It was necessary for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to issue a formal warning that there could, and would, be in France no such bar against colored citizens as the Americans desired to have raised. Shortly thereafter in a night club on Montmartre—a place, it is true, where one would not look for the expression of the best American sentiment—two French citizens of Africa, of whom we were practicing in the French courts; were violently ejected by a party of Americans. Like most exhibitions of racial intolerance, these incidents seem to be in danger of multiplying, and the French Government is seriously embarrassed by them. It is well known to traveled persons that in France the color line is not drawn as in the United States. This would seem to be a demonstration of the greater sincerity of the doctrine of equality in the French Republic. Of course, to some extent, it is the result of Journal and Guide intimate connections between France and its North African colonies, and the very great part that the people of those colonies must play in the defense of the realm. This absence of any racial prejudice in France makes it impossible for the French to understand the causes of Germany by the assignment of Africa to the occupation of certain sections of the Ruhr. Perhaps that indignation is to some extent simulated for political effect, but at any rate it is incomprehensible to the French, though more readily understandable in the United States. We think that intelligent and open-minded Americans will deplore the exhibition itself in intelligence given by some of their presentatives on pleasure bent in Paris. Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.)

So far the most remarkable and significant happening in Louisiana this month is, Wilson Edwards, farmer, 100 years old, marries a 40-year old woman. A man swam the English channel the other day while a woman failed by six miles. Would you call this an inequality of the sexes? Grover Bergdoll, a notorious draft-dodgers, foils an attempt of alleged kidnapping party in Germany, says a recent dispatch, by desperate fighting. Who would have thought it? Honesty is the best policy. An honest worker never wears a mask to conceal his identity. A compromise has been reached between director Hines and Alabama citizens, says a report, but to do the right thing in the wrong way is not right, eh? The question of the hour we read is, "What sort of man is President Coolidge?" Well, the consensus of opinion seems to be that he is a thoroughbred New Englander. ADVICE We hear it said on every hand, Advice is something very fine, If followed it will surely land, You safely far beyond the line The June bride gets advice in bales, The banker always hears it, Whenever any project fails, The prophets show what queers it.

Saturday, August 18, 1923 Negro Reads Declaration : Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkleld. EDITORS' NOTE—Dr. Wilbur I. Thirkield is a bishop of the white Methodist Episcopal Church. For a number of years he was president of Gammon Theological College, Atlanta, Ga., and later became the president of Howard University. He is also credited with inaugurating many of the polities which have worked to mit that school upon the high plane it now stands. Bishop Thirkield's life in a large measure has been devoted to the education of Negroes. He enjoys a place of preeminence in church circles and is a member of the fluence, and any discussion by him upon public questions commands national attention. It was to be expected that the rebuke given the officers of Harvard University by the alumni and broad-minded friends of the institution because of their plan to exclude capable and well-equipped Negro students from the full privileges of the University—had definitely settled the question of the citizen rights of the members of that race in Massachusetts. But it seems not to have touched the belated minds of several Bostonians now citizens of Charlotte, N.C., who recently strongly protested against the selection by the Mayor of a Negro boy to read the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the old Boston State House on July 4th. What more appropriate than this—the reading of the Declaration of Independence by a member of the nation and lifted into the larger life of the nation under the terms of that immortal document. And deepened significance is given to such a program by the very surroundings. For as the colored lad would stand on the balcony of the State House, he would face just across the way, the supreme battle monument of St. Gaudens the marmor of Negro troops, grim, determining manful, courageous, under the leadership of Colonel Shaw, the flower of New England manhood. It is a monument in the presence of which, when I mediate, my heart is strangely moved, or even in casual passing of the same, I instinctively stand with uncovered head. And always I am thrilled by the long lines carved on the monument: "Right in the van On the red ramparts slippery swell With heart that beat a charge, he fell Foeward as fits a man; But the high soul burns on to light man's feet man's feet Where death for noble ends makes dying sweet." And who can never forget the message from F. W. Wagner where Colonel Shaw fell and was buried with his black soldier comrades, "The Colored troops fought nul- ferewomen, the significant word on the great memorial is "TO- GETHER." Such the surroundings amid which Charles C. Dogan was to read the Declaration on July 4th, giving fresh significance and liv- ing memory to the trail of document that "all men are created free and equal." And why was this Negro youth chosen? This is the Mayor's tribute: "He was selected for the honor conferred upon him for excellent reasons; He has shown a competence and capacity in the work of the church; he makes him a worthy choice; he is an 'honor pupil', that is to say, a pupil of more than ordinary attainments; his choice has the approbation of his fellow-pupils; and his selection to read the immortal declaration is an expression of our recognition of the service of his race. Massachusetts to promote freedom and democratic government." The Boston dailies took up the case with vigor, condemning in no mild terms the former Bostonians now dwelling in North Carolina for their surrender to the prejudices of the ever-decreasing group in the South who defame the Negro of education and aspiration and who would deny him manhood rights. The exodus to the North is significant in its influence over certain narrow, intolerant minds and more abiding in its stronger and more power for good is the inter-racial commission. The reports of this rapidly expanding movement at the humble beginnings of which I was present only five years ago, are worth shouting over. The definite stand taken by Southern women in a dozen or more states furnishes the most hopeful and encouraging situation I have observed in forty years. The Lord pity these belated Bostonians who would curry social recognition with ceramic assesets in the South by their object assesets in their diets. For years I have observed just such intolerance on the part of certain Northern men living in the South, and not a few teachers and friends of the Negro have been the object of their scorn. May the day soon dawn when such men by their courage and independence and by their holding to manhood principles and ideals shall help the South instead of hindering the progress of a race. Thus shall they help to bring in the day, as some one has prophesied, when the races of race elimination or race subjugation or chronic race conflict shall be forced away and an enlightened Christian policy of co-operation may prevail.

Gricemont, the famous brother of Menelaus, husband of the cute chicken known as Helen of Troy. They were horn colored and at the age when most children. When Paris, sheik of Troy, skipped with Helen, the Greeks declared a fight fest and buddy Agemennon was made the head military gazabo. Aga was some persimmons as a general and when he was all dolled up in his brass plate and Woolworth diamonds, he knocked 'em silly. Once Aga and his chief side kicking hero, Achilles, got into a hot argument that almost wrecked the war. He was thuswise: The Greeks had left their ladies home and made it a practice of gathering up other folks' ladies. In one of the forays, Kid Achilles gathered in a flock of fine feminine screams and kept the prettiest, for himself. Bud Aga objected. He claimed that because he was the big noise, he should have the furthest fluffs for himself. He told Kid Achilles if he didn't hand 'em over, he would take a fall out of his anatomy. Kid objected and retired from the limelight. When the man found that Kid Achilles was off the job, he jumped on the Greeks and almost knocked the daylights out of them. Aga got scared and offered back the chickens, but Kid answered with that famous reply: "Nay nay, Pauline; nay, nay!" When the war was over, Agamemnon was warned not to return to the family igloo, but having nowhere else to go he went. In the meanwhile whee, Madame Clytemnestra, had another Sheik in Clytemnestra, when Aga took off his boots and then entered the bed for a nap. Clytic entered her initials on him, with a razor. This was the end of Agamemnon, the big Grecian smoke who commanded the Greeks in their war on Troy. It was a sorrowful end, but while he was going, he was going some.
