CARRY PLEA FOR LAW AND ORDER TO EVERY GROUP CARRY PLEA FOR LAW AND ORDER TO EVERY GROUP Take Vigorous Stand For Law Enforcement and Protection of All Classes of Citizens of the Republic. PLEDGE A CAMPAIGN AGAINST MOB RULE Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21—(Special—At the recent annual meeting of the Commission on InterRacial Co-operation, the woman's section of the commission brought in a vigorous paper on lynching and asked the commission to answer that the matter be brought to the attention of the various women's organizations of the South and that they all be asked to cooperate in a sustained and systematic effort to eradicate this great evil. The commission, which has been constantly at work toward eradicating lynching, proved to the plan by unanimously adopting the resolutions presented by the women, which were as follows: Whereas, Lynching, at one time practiced only as punishment by the mob for violation of womanhood, is now resorted to even for robbery, petty crime, or no crime, and Whereas, A3 present the responsibility for the punishment of lynchers and the abolition of the evil rests solely in the several State Governments, and Whereas, We, the Woman's Committee of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, are overwhelmed with a deep sense of humiliation that this hideous crime means available to men for the protection of womanhood, and Whereas, We likewise suffer because of the seeming impotence of our State Governments in the protection of human life and in their inability to find and punish lynchers and members of mobs, who, in absence of sufficient law enforcement, are constituted authorities, presume to assume the role of Judge and Jury—thus themselves becoming the greatest of law violators, therefore Be it resolved, 1. That we deplore the failure of State Governments to handle this, the most conspicuous enemy to justice and the most violent violation of the Constitution of our great nation. 2. That we definitely set ourselves to the task of creating such sentiment as is possible, to us in each State of our territory to the end that not only sufficient laws shall be enacted to enable the trusted officers of the law to discharge their full duty, but to secure the enforcement of the laws now in existence. 3. That the Director of Women's Work of the Commission, Mrs. Luke Johnson, Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga., be and is hereby instructed to secure the presentation of cooperating organizations and State Committees; and further to put in effect such plans as are necessary to secure a sustained effort on the part of our women to the accomplishment of these ends.

MOSQUITOS DRAW NO COLOR LINE Greenwood, S. C., Aug. 22—Mosquitoes have captured Greepwood. The largest swarms of the pests in the history of this section are about to devour the people regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The authorities are burning oil in the hope that they will allay the ravage of the voracious insects. The colored folks are saving, "God is punishing the white folks for the meanness" while the niggars are still defilating with, "Those niggers ought to thank the mosquitoes for not drawing the color line." And there we are: the white and the blacks are being drawn close together in a common fight on a pest that like black meat as well as it does white meat. REPORT UNPUBLISHED LYNCHING OF OLD MAN Sixty Year Old Man Said To Have Been Done To Death By Masked Mob. Now York, N. Y., Aug. 22—A letter has reached the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reporting the unpublished lynching of a 60-year old Negro, named Will McBride, in the town of Adamsville, Ala., an Thursday night, July 12, 1928. The post charges that the eagle was his home by one thousand members of a masked organization and was found dead, his body terribly mangled, near a road. It is charged that a crowd of school children had become frightened at meeting the old man on a country road, had told their teacher, "You were arrested charged with assault. In court, the children are reported to have said they had been frightened merely by the sight of the old man and he was discharged. Feeling against him van high and the laughing followed. Colored people who witnessed the affair be told they were taken down terrorized into silence, the report states. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has forwarded the substance of the re-entry of the black people with a request for investigation and punishment of the lynchers if the facts are as stated. GOLDSBORO MAYOR DENIES KLAN THREAT Refutes Statement That Citizens are Aroused Over Negro Buying Pullman. A few days ago the following article appeared in the New York World and several dailies served by the Associated Press: Goldsboro, N. C.—"Allen Moses and his wife, wealthy Negroes left here in Pullman births tonight to visit the city first time in the history of this city that Negroes have "and the nerve," as one citizen expressed it, to buy sleeper tickets here. White citizens are aroused and it is said the Ku Klux will be asked to move the warm reception on his return. Upon reading this dispatch the editor of the Journal Guide immediately wrote to Mr. Edgar H Bain, Mayor of Goldsboro, calling his attention to the item and asking for a statement on the matter. Among other things the editor said: "As we hesitate to believe that a North Carolina city would tolerate laxness and intimidation where law abiding citizens are concerned we write to inquire if it has come to your notice that the incident referred to provoked the general resentment referred to, and if you will give us a statement on the matter for publication setting forth your own views." The Mayor replied: "There is no truth whatsoever in regards to white citizens or colored citizens of this city being aroused by the fact that black and white left are in a Pullman New York. We are unfortunate here in having reports of this kind circulated by one that calls himself a reporter, who is incapable and who manufactures sensational stories and articles that are only accepted by outside papers." The wrong conception of the Ku Klux is gained by such stories as this coming from the outside, and not from the order, of the law. It comes to all and above all things upholding the law." Very Truly Yours. CIVIC LEAGUE BALKS ON HIGH SCHOOL HEAD CIVIC LEAGUE BALKS ON HIGH SCHOOL HEAD Refrain From Siding In Campaign For Principal For New Vocational Hi School; Says Bad Precedent. THINKS IT IS IMPROPER TO ACT ON THE MATTER The Norfolk Civic and Welfare League stop-sided the question of endorsing any one of the several candidates for the position of pupil of the new high school, at a special meeting at the First Baptist Church Monday night, called to consider that matter. The league not only wield its endorsement from any one of the aspirants for the principalship, but voted to refrain from considering matters of this nature in the future. The executive committee, who at the instance of a group of prominent citizens, had taken under advisement the proposal of having the league go on record as endorsing some person for the position, such endorsement to be presented to the school by the president of Norfolk's colored citizens, reported the endorsement of Prof. E. P. Southall, principal of Abraham Lincoln School Berkeley ward. The endorsement was rejected on the grounds that it was felt that the league should not project itself into the campaign being waged by the several candidates for the position. A short address by P. A. Paine, A. M. Custis, W. W. Foroman and Prof. Custis, readily convinced the members of the impropriety of such action on the part of the civic league. "During the debating on the question, Mr. J. Henry Cromwell came near throwing a bombshell in the midst of the proceedings by securing the floor and making the statement that he had carried to Prof. Jaccex his contract from the University of Chicago to extend a widely spread that Prof. Jaccex had already been appointed principal. Mr. Cromwell failed to amplify this statement, however, and the discussion proceeded. The temper of the meeting appeared to be decidedly favorable to the present principal. Each mention of his name bringing forth applause. Some persons later attempted to explain this on the grounds that the meeting had been faced with next adherence by a person or persons not particularly friendly to Prof. Jacox, but for the purpose of forestalling an endorsement of Prof. Squallh to the exclusion of a candidate favored by them. Mr. Palmer's speech was more in the nature of a plea for neutrality on the part of the League, however the tone of his speech a tribute to the present principal. The speech of Prof. Custis was an impassioned plea in defense of Prof. Jacox's regime as principal of Norfolk's high school. Dr. S. F. Coppage set out the qualification of Prof. Southall and urged upon the members to be guided alone by a consideration for more education of Norfolk's children. Rev. Bowling, who presented the recommendations of the executive committee, later said, in effect that he felt that the committee had been imposed upon in that—he among other members had been informed that the school board would not consider re-appointing Prof Jacox, that had much to do with his turning the support of Prof. Southall. It was learned that the proposal to have the league go on record in this matter did not orginate with the executive committee nor any members of the League as such, but with a group of citizens who held an informal meeting a few weeks ago and discussed, among themselves the advisability of presenting before the school board recommendations for a high school principal, that might be more endorsement than recommendation placed before the board by individuals or small groups of individuals. It was at this meeting that the suggestion was ventured that as the Civic League was organized as a medium of public expression, any recommendation purporting to be an expression of public sentiment should come from that body. It was stated at this informal meeting of citizens that the school person had intimated to certain persons that it would get the united sentiment of /^a/ people on the matter of a high school principal for the new school. There were several persons present who had in mind certain persons who in their choice for the position, but after a lengthy discussion of the fitness of the several candidates, in so far as these citizens had knowledge, they finally NORFOLK, VIRGINIA; SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1923 Slemp's Appointment Astounds Race And ConfusesPartyLeaders Think President Coolidge Has Made Serious Blunder In Selection Of Virginia Patronage Boss For His Executive Secretary. (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Aug. 21. President Coolidge Coolidge's appointment of Bassom Slemp, of Virginia, as his secretary, has "turned the world upside down," so far as colored America is concerned. Colored America from one end of the country to the other, the newspapers, public speakers and political hopefuls had all joined the grand chorus of "He's a jolly good fellow," when—Splash! Just like that, can the announcement men from Tom R. Howe, the House of All about? If the president had taken a bucket of cold ice water and dumped it on the populace, individually, the shock would not have been more terrific" is a good word. Bascom Slemp, of Virginia, secretary to the President. There could not be more consternation had the announcement been made that Vardaman, of Mississippi Helfin, of Alabama, or even Benn Tillman, were he alive, had been appointed secretary. That's how colored American feels about Bascom Slemp—the man "next to the brone," as it were. Bascom Slemp, of Virginia, secretary to the President, body who first heard it yelled with display; they thought it was a mistake, or a joke. Their minds could notryivate into the psychology of imagining a staid, conservative New England president, from Vermont and Massachusetts picking out a demagog like Slemp Ask Investigation Into Conduct of Maxwell Mattuck, Prosecutor In The Case. Washington, D. C., Aug. 20—President Calvin Coolidge has been asked by the Marcus Garvey committee on justice to intervene and order a grand jury investigation into the conduct of Maxwell S. Mattuck, assistant United States attorney in the southern district of New York, and E. Amos, a Department of Justice agent, during the Marcus Garvey trial. The first request of this kind was made to the late President Harding. He referred the matter to the office of the Attorney General, so it is now under consideration. On Thursday of last week, William H. Sheriff, vice-president general; Robert L. Poston, secretary general, and G. E. Carter, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, composing the Marcus Garvey committee on justice, visited the White House and the office of the Attorney General and left additional signatures to the petition for a Federal grand jury investigation. On Sunday afternoon a mass meeting was held at the Howard Theater. It was addressed by D. E. Tobias, of New York. His subject was, "Why Marcus Garvey is in Jail and Slemp in the White House." The Lincoln League Issues National Call Chicago, Ill., Aug. 20.—A call has been issued for a meeting of the executive committee and the state chairmen of the Lincoln League of America here on August 30, 31, and September 1. The purpose of this meeting is to issue a call for a convention to be held in 1924; to consider grave political and economic conditions that oppress the people; take action on very important matters affecting our status in political conventions and inquire into a very serious situation now agitating the Tuskegee hospital situation. The Lincoln League is an organization of Negro, Republicans. It was organized in New Orleans in 1918 and held its first convention in Chicago in February, 1920. Roscoe Conkling Simmons is its president. for his secretary, according to practically unanimous opinion, SLEMP, FAHER OF LILY WHITES Bascom Slemp of Virginia, secretary to the President. Slemp according to the best informed people in Virginia, is a Daddy of the Lily White system in the Republican party. Slemp denied this accusation in a personal interview with a representative of the Association for the Poor. He claimed to be a friend of "Cullud folks," and charged that he was using "mis-represented." But the accusation continued; and the Associated Negro Press representative observed that he was one of the most native participants at the meeting of the Republican National Committee at the Willard Hotel in Washington, which cut down southern representation. During the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill by the House of Representatives, Bacom Slemp voted continuously with the Democrats in opposition to the bill and in the final vote, cast his against it. The A. N. P. representative in the gallery of the house, observed the agility of Slemp in opposition to the anti-lynching measure. SLEMP-FEARED LAST ELECTION Bascon Stemp was a 'close and cordial personal' friend of the late President. Harding. This is, an other, fact that always sets very heavily on the hearts of colored America. Weekly, and sometimes daily, in the announcement of visions (Continued, on page 8). LIN.

Delegates Return From Birmingham The Tidewater Delegates, who left Monday August, 13th, for Birmingham, Ala., to attend the Connection Young People's Congress, returned Tuesday of this week, very much clated over the trip. The meeting was a decided success in every way far surpassing any Young People's Congress previously held by the department: Bishop A. J. Carey, of Chicago, President of the Bond of Control of the Church, and was most ably supported by many of the Bishop's of the connection and ministers of the church. The Institute work conducted by experts, in advanced and modern Sunday School, Christian Endeavor and Missionary methods, received much favorable comment. The general secretary, Rev. S. S. Morris is very much pleased over the success of the meeting the students encouraged to work for the putting together larger and better program for the Young People of the Church. DR. MOTONMAKES STATEMENT ON TUSKEGEE ROW In Annual Speech Before the National Negro Business League His Position on Hospital Rumpus Is Stated. WANTS NEGRO DOCTORS AND LOCAL GOOD-WILL (By The Associated Negro Press) Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 20—Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was re-elected president of the National Negro Business League at the final session. Charles Banks, Mound Bayou, Miss; C. H. Brooks, Philadelphia R. R. Church, Memphis; L. L. Williams, Savannah, Ga.; B. M. Roddy, Memphis; W. L. Cohen, New Orleans; A. E. Malone, St. Louis; J. L. Lewis, Mountville, Ga.; C. Gaines, Georgia; were elected vice-presidents. Albion L. Holsey, Tuskegee, Ala., secretary; John L. Webb, Hot Springs, Treasurer, and F. H. Gilbert, Brooklyn, registrar. "If you just have to go, go, but remember. Twenty-five years will mark a marvelous change in Arkansas; powerful industrial cities are going to be built up, drawing their strength from the state's natural resources and water power, and the man who boasts a home in Arkansas will be the envy of the world. If you get ready to the member! When you get ready to come back, and you probably will, the latchstring, will be hanging out." Such were the words passed by Governor T. C. McRae, of the State of Arkansas to delegate to the National Negro Business League on the occasion of its twenty-fourth annual meeting. The governor's speech on the opening night told of the glories of the state and the occasion of the City of Hot Springs, the "Fountain of Youth" and health for all the people, a national reservation in which the citizens of America are the stockholders, of the progress of the Negro race in its fifty-eight years of progress and of the hope that the Negroes of Arkansas would not follow their fellows who are seeking broader opportunity in the North, but would remain at home to be the national societies of that greatness and the success of Arkansas is destined. He hoped they wouldn't go, but if they did, he assured them they would be welcomed back. Hot Springs was glad to welcome the Business League. This year's meeting is not so large as many a previous one, but there is nothing lacking in fixity of purpose and the honest desire to see something tangible done. The Negro section of the city, including the famous Malvern avenue, was decorated to greet the visitors. Two new buildings, the Pythian Temple and the home of the Woodmen of the Union, bath hotels serve as an impressive introduction to the city's impressive the citizens of the town, the ability of Negro organizations to put over big projects. Delegates to the league convention found these structures everything that had been said of them. An impressive array of delegates came from all parts of the country. The outstanding features of this year's sessions were the speecher of Governor McRane (this latter being taken to crystalize, to some extent, the attitude of southern white people this section," of Major J. H. McRane, the executive league, and the actual adoption of a program calculated during the next year to bring into play an aggressive attack on the problems of the Negro business man. McRane's speech dealt with those phases of the life and problems of southern whites and Negroes, time spent at such occasions, the prosperity of Negro schools, the regret that there were bad Negroes, as well as bad whites, with the hope that each race would measure the other, not by its bad members, but its good; the absolute necessity for a feeling of good will between the two groups of Americans and his adversaries; all he could see that the Negro got a square deal. The governor was introduced by a Negro who had lived within three blocks of him for thirty years. This speaker told of some of the things this state executive had done to help the Negroes of his city outside, things which included the bus of a school and the gift of land for a school. Naturally, much interest centered around what Dr. Moton would have to say this year. In some strangely unaccountable way, the entire delegation to the convention met at the Tuskegee leader, and the head of the league, on the now famous Tuskegee hospital situation. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR CENTURY OLD MAN TAKES THIRD BRIDE Shreveport, La., Aug. 21—"Tree times ain't too much to get married said Wilson Edwards, a 100 year old Negro, when applied for a marriage license to wed a 40 year old widow last Friday morning. The couple were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony later in the day, and appeared very happy under the usual stress. Wilson declared he was likely to live long enough to get married for the fourth time. The blushing bride had little to say but rather looked skeptical at her hopeful mate. Dr. Moton's remarks on the Tuskegee hospital included the following: He declared that he had refrained from public announcement because he felt it better to restrict his talking to those who were in a position to accomplish something. "In all of this affair," he asserted, "two great motives have been actuating those at Tuskegee who have had directly to deal with the situation. The first was the conviction that Negroes have a right above all other people to serve their own, and, second, the necessity of preserving intact those relationships to goal will and mutual helpfulness between white people and black people at Tuskegee, in the South, and all over the country which was the outstanding achievement of the career of Booker Washington. "So far as the first move goes we have abundant evidence that our physicians and nurses are capable of rendering the services demanded. This is not only my own opinion, but it is the testimony of our physicians and nurses, only of the Negro race. I have steadfastly and unswervingly taken that position from the very beginning and have said that by every right of sentiment and justice our physicians and nurses should have the opportunity to serve in that hospital, and I have made this assertion before the superintendent of the Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, the director of the Veterans' Bureau in Washington, and before the late, lamented President Harding himself. I stand on that position today and there is no man who is not a force of earth and there is no force earth and in heaven that will make me surrender it. "On the other hand, there is the question of good will between the races to be considered. For 35 years, Washington so conducted the work at Tuskegee that the school and the town were constant in their operation, and there were those among our white friends in the town of Tuskegee who were equally as steadfast in their determination that these harmonious relations should not be disturbed as he. Therefore, to avoid any possible rupture of these harmonious relations, if possible, any public statement on the situation; I have preferred to make my recommendations to those in authority who were in a position to adjust the matter on a satisfactory basis. And in every instance I have reinforced my recommendations with the statement that I have been forced from serving in this hospital it would be the occasion of great embarrassment to all concerned." At the conclusion of Dr. Moton's speech, the convention passed a resolution endorsing his stand in the controversy. A committee composed of Mr. S. Hunter, Bert Roddy, Jesse Jones, J. E. Mitchell, M. S. Stewart, Geo. W. Davis, and E. R. Wright, Sr., chairman, made itself personally responsible to the extent of eight thousand dollars by January 1, and to secure the best man in the country to put to work organizing local leagues. Real cash was put up. Elks Flocking To The Windy City (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Aug. 22—The advanced guard of the thousands, who will attend the Elks convention here next week, have arrived in the city. Many of them are motoring, while the trains from all sections are unloading the followers of Elkdom by the hundreds. By Monday, it is expected that more than fifty thousand visitors will be in the city. Preparations have been made to make the occasion one of the greatest in Elkdom. It is said that the decorations have never been excelled, all South side streets and business streets are leashed in giving official welcome to the antlers. Interest in the election continues to increase, and the outlook gives promises of the liveliest election ever held by the Elks, but not with such wounds, following the outcome, as will split the order, say those interested in various candidates. The housing facilities have been carefully provided for, and it is believed that all who come will be comfortably accommodated. GOV'T OFFICIAL AGAINST RACE APPOINTMENTS Veterans' Bureau Filled With Prejudiced Democrats Left Over From Wilson Administration; Denied Youth. NO SYMPATHY TOWARD NEGRO WORLD WAR VETS Washington, D. C., Aug. 20-'Democratic office holders still fill the key positions in the United States Veterans' Bureau. This condition again became apparent when a young man who served as a lieutenant of infantry in France for position in the office of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, technical assistant in charge of colored trainees. This young man wanted the vacancy created by the transfer of P. H. Rooney, placement assistant, to the United States hospital for disabled veterans at Tuskegee Institute. He was directed to see A. C. Johnson, chief of the rehabilitation section. Mr. Johnson expressed not only his unalterable opposition to the appointment of colored men to positions of dignity in the "Veterans' Bureau, but also to colored veterans taking up the skilled trades. He is also the opinion that colored trainees are getting too much money from the Government and, as a result, use overly subterfuge to remain on the Government payroll. He holds that the time has not yet come for colored men to be appointed to Government positions in which they will come in contact with white people. He intimated that aside from the friction it would create Negroes are not competent. He is further opposed to colored men looking after the interests of disabled Negro veterans. He would give better satisfaction. In other words, in his opinion, a white man should have the job now being done by Dr. Crossland. Upon investigation it is found that Mr. Johnson was run out of Missouri because of his vicious atrocity resulting in his removal from Missouri was made by a citizens committee composed of outstanding Negroes of St. Louis. Even now there are on file in the office of the director of the bureau numerous complaints and criticisms against him. Such a state of affairs in the Veterans' Bureau is not surprising; for R. Dority, a Kentucky Democrat and a tool of Josephine Damuity, who was the secretary of War, the control of all appointments throughout the United States under the Veterans' Bureau. Race Man May Run For Seat In Congress (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Aug. 22.—Congressman Martin B. Madden, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee in the House of Representatives, has just returned from Europe, where he made the round trip on the great Leviathan, Mr. Madden's district, the First, is now about four to one Colored in voting strength. There has been much speculation that he will attitude with reference to being a candidate for re-election. As chairman of the appropriations committee the congressman is one of the most influential men in the government. There has been considerable talk of a Colorid congressman from the district. Both Oscar Depriest and Edward H. Wright have announced that they will be candidates in the district. Does that happen? Edward H. Moore also been mentioned as a candidate by a number of his friends. In a Statement for The Associated Negro Press, Congressman Madden declares: "I have no ambitions, except to do the work which I am at present doing and which I think quite as important as any in the land." This is taken to mean that the Congressman will stand for re-election, and that he will not listen to the plan that he be a candidate for the United States, all of which offices he has been urged to lend his name as a candidate!

Out of here!" SIXTH CHAPTER Christopher Bowling, an unsphisticated Harvard student, known to his classmates as the Virgin, meets Beatrix Marley, a beautiful colored girl, of Boston, and accompanies her home. Her beauty overwhelms him and he takes her unawares with a kiss; for which he is invited way from the house. But for some reason the Virgin is invited away from the house. But for some reason the Virgin is beautiful Beatrix, but is interrupted in the act of kissing her by the arrival of Mr. Marley, Beatrix's father. For an instant there was stillness, the sulphurous stillness of a trench just after a shell has burst. On one side of the parlor swayed Beatrix, dishevelled, her face a grayish white, her hair down over her shoulders; on the other, the Virgin, his neck still gripped from behind by a hand he had not yet seen, stood paralyzed with fright and shame. One tense moment, then Beatrix's father gave his neck a twist and a shake and flung him violently toward the door. Beatrix's father was a big, strong man in a rage; he followed the Virgin as if to kick him. But Beatrix darted past him and up to the Virgin, and seized the Virgin's arm. "He cried. 'Don't you go, Chris. Father, you don't know what you're doing." "I don't, eh?' he shouted, his big, black-mustached face swelling with anger. "You don't, you don't. I won't let him go like this; he's done nothing wrong." "What is all this?" said a calm voice at the stairway, and an elderly lady entered the room. "What is it?" thundered Beatrix's father. "I open the front door, I happen to look into the parlor, and what do I see? What" "Mother, mother!" cried Beatrix. "father doesn't understand at all. He thinks Chris——" "Who? asked her mother, still calm. "That sneaking, young-hound there!" broke in the father. "I try to kick him out of the house and she jumps between us." "Edward, Edward," said Mrs. Marley, putting her hands on his chest. "See, mother?" said Beatrix desperately. "You can see Chris has done nothing to be——" "What do you mean by anything?" the father burst in. He turned to his wife. "Look at her with her hand all over her face, just as I found her, and then trying to tell me——" "Oh, father," groaned Beatrix, "can't you take my word for it?" "No!" he shouted, and his voice Is An Opportu for Every the Virgin love and Love Copyright 1923 the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service.

She sprang away from the mute-Vir- gin and faced her parents like a dury, the blood rushing to her face and her eyes flaming. Never had she so defied her father. "You insult me without giving me a chance to clear myself. Then I won't try to clear myself. I told you I was innocent. It's the truth, and if you are determined not to believe me, you need not." "You think I'm a fool, girl? A mighty innocent picture you are, with your ____" "Now, Edward," said Beatrix's mother, who was the coolest head present, "let me ask some questions. I've been observing all of you and I don't think there is anything so very terrible." "No growled Edward Marley, 'you didnt know what I did.'" "Beatrix," said the mother, "tell mahnia what you were doing when your father came in." "I was kissing Chris," said the girl defiantly. "Why don't you tell how you were hugging him too?" grunted her father. "Yes, I was doing that, too," she replied boldly. "Furthermore, it was all on my own initiative. I enticed Chris: he had no idea of kissing me at first; he never in his life kissed any girls but me." "No God, Boostix!" said her father. "You let him tell you that?" "I did," she said, unshaken, "and I believed him; I believe him yet. He is the only young man in the world that I'd believe it of." The Virgin was at last stirred to speech by his chivalric instincts. He could not stand by and let Beatrix take all the blame. Twenty-five Dividends Paid. unity "It didn't happen that way!" he hursturet. It didn't! It's my fault. She didn't want to kiss me; I made her." "And for making her, you young dog" said Edward Marley, "I'll break——" "I'm no dog, Mr. Marley!" the Virgin broke in. Defended Beatrix had brought him back to himself, which meant that no man could call him a dog with impunity. "He didn't make me kiss him," said Beatrix, "he's only trying to shield me." "He'd better look to shielding himself," said Edward Marley. "You get out of here, and don't let me ever see you around here again." "No, no," said Beatrix, holding on to the Virgin. "I won't have him insulted like that. If you drive him out I'll go with him." "Beatrix!" said her mother. "I will, I will!" He kissed me; he had the right to kiss me. "Not right?" said her father sharply. "I love him!" "Beatrix!" cried the Virgin. "My child, my child," said her mother. "I do not even know the young man." "My name is Christopher Bowling, Marley. I am a sophomore at Harvard and my home is at Newburgh-on-the-Hudson, New York. If you wish to know more about me I will give you my parents address," said the Virgin. "A college student!" said Edward Marley. "So, you're one of those young ducks who come here and amuse yourselves for four and amuse your daughters expense and then they want what sorrow you leave behind you." "You don't know Chris, father," said Beatrix, a gain indignant. "This is the only Boston or Cambridge house he's been inside of. He would never have been in this house but for an accidental meeting. I'm the only girl in Boston that he knows." "I suppose he's got you believing that, too," grumbled her father. "But it's true, father. Don't you have I've asked all the other girls if I should speak to you? What was the accidental meeting you spoke of?" asked her mother. "It was Monday evening, two weeks ago." "And you're kissing him. already," cried her father. "Yes, sir," she said, with mock meekness. "I had just spent the afternoon at Bertha Nelson's in Cambridge and was on my way home. At the transfer station at Harvard Square I stopped to watch the annual fight between the sophomores and the freshmen. There were hundreds of them; they upon the pavement and I was caught in the crowd. Chris saw me and came to my rescue. I had been knocked, about in the crowd. I was scared, and I fainted. He carried me into the station and brought me to. He offered me home safely and I waited till he went to his dormitory and changed his clothes. Then he saw me home. We've never been introduced." "And from what I saw you don't need it now," said her father, who could not get the picture out of his mind. What father could? "But my child," said her mother, "you never told me anything about it." "No, mamma, I promised Chris to go sit, secret." "Why? I promised her mother reprovingly." "And why such a rapid acquaintance with a man you had never seen before?" "You don't know Chris. He's never been seen with a girl and he feared the boys would tense him awfully. They call him Virgin, that's his regular nickname; no one ever thinks of calling him or Christopher. And he was named a stranger to me. I knew him all the time, so about him; the boys; who come here—you know them all, Reese, Nick Hartwell, Phil Wgrden and the rest—they were always full of jokes and stories about the Virgin. So our meeting wasn't so very irregular, after all." "Oh, I see," said her mother. THE WORLD'S FINEST HAIR PRESENTED SARAH WESTFORD THE LABELLED MAIN CHEESE FOR THE USE OF THE WESTFORD CHEESE JOHN F.

C.—Ben Taylor has reinjured his rebuilt Potomac here on August 26, to meet the Folk Stars of Norfolk, Va., the American League Park. He have been playing in New York and the England States for the past 6 months and will stop over here a single game on their way to Norfolk. The Potomacs are going better than at any time this season. Roger Taylor has gotten rid of disgruntled players and those they tried at intervals and now the fast hustling group of youngsters are out to win every time. The addition of "stringing" Williams has greatly strengthened the Washington, the outfielder from Georgia who has his ankle in the seams is again developing into a star. Person is playing the best ball his career, while Albittison is of the leading pitchers in the ofolk stars have admini- lated to some of the fast- white and scored clubs in the cry and, as noted, in the Popomacs is well known a bit contested game is assured. Yankee Stadium To Be Scene Of Competition Between Renowned Stars Of Cinder Path, Broad Jump And Other Field Events. The nations best on the cinder path will compete in the Pre-Olympic games to be held by the Wilco Athletic Club at the Yankee Stadium New York City September 8, and a number of foreign stars, among them H. F. V. Edwards, of England, a Negro who won the 100, 220 and 440 yds championships of England in one day. He, Gourdin, and Hubbard will meet such speed marvels as Lewis Marchin, white, Bob McAllister, white 100 yds, champion, and Eugene Goodwill, Chicago school boy wonder. Prize to be awarded atlete making most meritorious performance. to meet Frigorio, the Italian Champion, who won the Olympic championship at Antwerp, but the athletic governing body in Italy refused his permission to come to this country at this time. Plant will now go after the world's 3,000-metre record at these games. He came within a fraction of a second of the record. Colored Fair Will Be A Great Event [This prize will be in the form of a bronze plaque模塑 after the one presented to the late Martha K. Koch, a member of the Olympic; by the King of Greece for the most meritorious performance at the 1906 Olympic Games. The novel idea of allowing the spectators present at the games-to decide the winner of this prize has been at it upon by the Hinckley chairman of the Games Committee, as the most satisfactory method of determining the athlete to receive this award. Accordingly attached to each programme distributed at the Yankee Stadium on the day of the games will be a self-addressed postcard, which will give each spectator the privilege of voting on their choice. The spectators will be requested to deposit their box letter at the park or mail to the Wilco A. A. headquarters on or before September 12. As of all the events on the program for this pre-Olympic meet will be "specials," with only those athletes competing who, by their past performances, have proven themselves to be the foremost athletes of this country in their particular specialties, will have several athletes who will feel they are entitled to the prize at the close of the meet September 8. Joie Ray, America's premier miler, has won the meritorious prize awarded by the Wilco A. A. for their indoor games in 1922 and again last February. On both occasions, Ray stood out above all other competitors because of his sterling performances. Ray has already made the statement that he will again be the winner of this beautiful trophy, as he expects to break at least one world's record and contribute his share towards the breaking of another when he runs on his club court. Do Hart Hubbard, the University of Michigan[jumper and hurdler, is another likely looking candidate for the honors. He will compete in the running broad jump, hop, step and jump and 110-metre hurdle race. Athletic experts are looking forward in anticipation of the privilege of witnessing this remarkable 25-feet 8 inches run broad. He has cleared over 25 feet on two different occasions this season in competition and in practice has bettered the world's mark by three inches. He is the present American champion in both the running broad and hop, step and jump, titles won at Newark last Fall, and at the present writing competition where he hurdled jumper and holder of the world's record, is the only one in the country capable of extending the Michigan star in the running broad. Unless some other jumper comes to the front between now and the date of the games' he is reasonably sure of winning the running, hop, step and jump also. He has a record of 15 seconds in the 120-yard high hurdle, 15 seconds against the best high hurdles in the land in the 110-metre hurdle race. Should Hubbard break the world's record and win one or both of the other events he competes in, and Ray comes through with a world's record in the one-mile run and helps his team mates to break the world's record in the four-mile race. Hubbard wins 'wisit' end to decide which of this pair is entitled to the meritorious prize. Allan Heilfrich, America's leading half-miler, is another star who may step in and demand consideration for this prize. He will run in the 800-metre race and will be a member of the All-East versus All-West improvement with every race, there is no telling what he might do in the 800-metre race. The fields that will toe the 'mark' in the 100 and 200-metre races are the best ever brought together. The list includes the names of such sterling sprinters as Johnny Reed, 100-yard champion; Loren Murchison, America's 60-vard champion and world's record holder; Eugene Goodwillie, the Chicago schoolboy star, who is considered in the Middle West as being certain of a place on the American Olympic team which will compete in Paris, London, Los Angeles, national collegiate champion and record holder, and a half-dozen others. If these stars, who are now considered the favorites to win the meritorious trophy, fall in their attempts to break records, the prize may fall to Willie Plant, America's leading walker. Plant was anxious to meet Frigerio, the Italian Champion, who won the Olympic championship at Antwerp, but the athletic governing body in Italy refused his permission to come to this country at this time. Plant will now go after the world's 3,000-metre record at these games. He came within a fraction of a second of the record. Colored Fair Will Be A Great Event Numerous Additions Made In All Departments for the Second Annual Exhibition. The big Norfolk Colored Fair to be held four days in September is to be a brilliant success from all presents outlooks and is to be of untold worth to the community. There are to be the finest of exhibits, the best of amusements, fast races daily, every other enjoyable feature connected with a fair. The management has spared no little pains and energy to make this the greatest fair among our people in the state. In their endeavor to meet the exigencies incidental to this work, great emphasis has been brought to bear on the social, economic, moral, and educational aspects. There is to be presented a snappy program of Colored stars with attractions in front of grandstand twice daily. Wednesday is Woman's Day, Thursday is County Day, Friday is Educational Day, Saturday is Arts Day, Sunday with all Colored drivers. The famous Excelsior Band is to render the band concerts. A dazzling midway, merry ground, Ferris wheel, aeroplanes swings, caterpillar and every other amusement. A spectacular display of fireworks every night. Fast harness and running races daily, and a multitude of exhibits, free samples and demonstrations. Every worth to us and should attend it. It's worth just what we make it. It's worth working for, planning for; waiting for! It's worth our best efforts, not for one or two weeks in the year, but every week! It's the people's playground and the people's university—expositor of progress and achievement, expeller of grouch and gloom, and creator of miles of smiles! Better babies, happier homes, better family, right upward of living—these are some of the accomplishments of the fair. Who will have the hardihood to say they are not worth while? The fair is educating our boys and girls in the fundamentals of living; creating in them a desire for the better things of life—the things that will help them to grow more self-confident and more womanly women. It is becoming, in many instances, a community center where young and old may gather for relaxation and wholesome entertainment. It is justifying its appalation, "Educational Institution." And it is accomplishing these things because there are earnest, enthusiastic, self-efacing men and women who see in life something more than the boys and girls who give their time and talents to developing that greatest of all crops—the boys and girls who are tomorrow's men and women! DON'T WAIT! GO SEE THE REAL BIG NEW FAIR OCEAN VIEW FAIR AND RACING ASSOCIATION, INC. Operating Tri-State Fair and Exposition B. T. WIDGEON, MANAGER AND TREASURER NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE HUBBARD The Critic and the Public There have always been two schools of opinion regarding criticism of music and drama; the actor and musician. One is that the critic is a reporter who should tell what happened and how the audience liked it. The other is that the critic should pass art judgment on a work and its performance from metropolitan scenes, the more you will find the former theory in vogue; he nearer to the centers of dramatic and musical activities, the more the latter. Why it is often asked, does a certain critic seem so hard to please when the musical public is delighted? And who is this one man anyhow, that he should presume on a work of production that may have taken months or years to create or achieve. As for the first question, the reviewer himself no doubt enjoys a recital by Dett or Hayes, for example. But what can he write in just laudation that has not already been written many times? He can only pay respect to the composers art or the singers voice, possibly pointing out a flaw here or there. Or, if a lesser artist be at hand the position is more difficult. To the occasional listener any first class performance seems remarkable. And organizations who rarely give anything less than are remarkable performance. Some Sidelights On Our Athletes It will be noted with pleasure that Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, is beginning to make his "pantier growl" heard. He has issued several statements in which he said he would take on on any legitimate opponents, but will not take on any setups. He has said he was, and is minimizing the risk, that he will take on Dempsey, Firpe, or Gibbons in a winner-take-all fight. There has been a lot of talk about the champion and Wills going on Ebbets Field and other points, but after taking a slant at Paddy Mullins and Jimmy Johnson doing a whispering act inely, some are something believe that there is something after him, and Dempsey for the Yankee Stadium shortly after the Firno rumpes might not be a bad guess after all. The Pre-Olympic games will be the chance to see, not only Hubbard trying to equal Gourdin's record for the broad jump but Gourdin trying to hold his record and attempting to break his present record. There will be the livestist of competition with the cream of our athletes pitted against the world's and the nation's best of the cinder Hubbard is also to be reckoned with, Gourdin is also a good 100 yds man. England Colored star H. F. V. Edwards, the winner of the 100, 220, and 440 yards championships in one day is also competing. The athlete making the most notable record is to be presented with a handsome medal modeled after the one given in 1906. WAIT!

But the reviewer hears such performances daily over a long period of years. He can hardly rhapsodize. He quickly detects ruggedness; he easily recognizes differences of interpretation which may or may not seem justifiable to him. He points these out. The critic's creative work is to expose insincerity, urge onstrugglers, and to help improve the judgment to be hypercritical. It is his desire, if he takes his work seriously, to help improve art and taste. As to the second question the reviewer is, in most cases, strictly limited to space. He must say what he has to say as briefly as possible. As to his right to express judgments, he must depend on judgment of his own opinions. His views should be taken too seriously; often in history the critic has been wrong. There is much truth in the state.

Church Extension Work Professor. Kelly Miller, of Howard Univer sity, recently,, directed attention to the fac that a-survey of the student body at his Uni versity. discovered the fact that there was « very great falling off in the number of stu dents who had it,in mind to take up th ministry upon the completion of their college course. The larger body of young people were thinking of taking up other than religious work.. ‘There is also complaint in various quarters that our young people are falling away from the Sunday-schools, which are the training schools for the. churches, and that Young grown-ups are not pursuing the cliurch- ly ways of their parents of other days. An- other complaint is that many of the younger people do not attend church because they are -devoutly disposed but because it is fashionable and to mect their frionds and “show off.” If the tendency to shirk the ministry, the Sunday-school and the church, was confined to ‘our yroup the thing might be regarded as very ‘ominous; but the tendency appears to be gen- eral with all Protestant groups; while the Catholics, instead of falling away,, are said to be steadily increasing, holding thelr young folks. to the church by a well-defined system of ‘education of its own, much freedom in anuse- ments, and a'well-organized system of charity aid—making the church the center of social and charitable as well as religious teaching, aSsociation and mutual assistance, {XThe concentration of suthority in the Catholic church, and the ramifications of its agencies to hold its pocple together, make it @ more stable organization than. is possible with the Protestant churches, in which there is scant co-operation of any sort, and” often overlapping of work in'the same situation.

Secretary Davis thinks that we should ‘have a selective immigration - program . by which Consular agents abrond should judge of tthe fitness of those who want to come here, and a registration of those who do come, with Proper oversight of them to ascertain if they develop into desirable citizens. He has many other recommendations which ‘will be favored by some and opposed by many. Organized labor is opposed to the letting down of the im- migration bars, while the employers of labor are in favor of doing so. That makes a sharp issue, which we shall hear more of in the immediate future. os We do not think we need any more immi- gration than we now have. “We have plenty of labor in the country for all purposes.

Shadows of the President, Every person has his shadow. He-does nol understand what it may signify. He does no! know what is’in the: image.of him, which is | the shadow of him, although he will be told if he shal] search the Seriptures with an ‘under- earn mind. A’person has but one shadow; the theory is, however, ‘that he has as many shadows as he has persons in his immediate association, family, or environment, city, or neighborhood, whatever it may be called, which constitute the immediate world in which he lives and is known and respected or distrusted. All these shadows surround him, but are if- visible, like his own, except upon occasiun, when they may gather together in one place, actually, or in the spirit, or when moved by a profound joy, or a profound sorrow, as when the announcement came of the sudden death of President Harding, when we all felt the same awesomeness and sorrow of it, ‘The President of the United States has his own shadow, which follows him’ wherever he may go or be, although he may see it not; but, in addition. to ‘his own shadow, he has the shadow of his 110,000,000 fellow-citizens sur- rounding him spiritually, who all look to him and follow him, as the head of the Nation, He feels elevated and secured by this spiritual assocjation, or downhearted and fearful, ac- cording as he stands in the estimation of his fellow-citizens. \ But the Presi¥ent of the United States has become a different creature than he was when Thomas Jefferson, or was it James Madison? rode to Washington from his Virginia home, lone and hitched his horse to the White House gate. The story is a fine ono whether true or alse. President Coolidge is a quiet man who | loes not appreciate much noise and display, |, wut he finds that he can’t have any privacy s President; Wherever he goes he is shad-] wed by an army of soldiers and secret service | nen, whom he cannot shgke off nor evade, and hese are reinforced wf the array of news- |i aper reporters aid photographers, and the | urious public, He has no prviaey any more; | e cannot be aloke at any time, as the shad-| ws are always close by him, This condition |‘ said t6 be very irksome to the President and |! etting on his nerves, as it docs on those of | ; mndemned persons subject to the horrors of | f ¢ death watch.

At the lime the Civic and Welfare League. was formed this paper rentured’the suggestion that if that organization hoped to obtain tan- gible results for good, such as would justify its existence, it would have to pursue objec- tives that were clear and well defined, upon which there was unanimity of thought and, purpose and for which united action could be aroused thru zéah inspired by the very merit of the proposition. And it now holds that questions upon which the public is determined- ly divided, the discussion of which ‘can produce nothing but bitterness and wrangling are best left out of the Civic League, f However, all this is aside the main ques- on. ‘he question with which this paper is chiefly Concerned and the one with which every right thinking citizen ‘should be chiefly con- cerned is the future education of the colored youth of. Norfolk. Inseparably linked with his question is that of the appointment of a rrineipal for our new and costly educational init with its diversified curricula and its jousing of several thousand students under a ingle roof. This new. high school will be one of the argest projects of its kind in the country, and he JOURNAL aNd Gupe still holds that the nan who ig to head it should be of “unques- ioned capacity for executive, administrative nd academic work.” |!
