NEGRO BANKS SHOW REMARKABLE INCREASE Washington, Sept. 19.—One economic result of the migration of Negroes northward during the past year has been the impetus given to the establishment of Negro banks and the growth of race bank deposits. Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and smaller cities are centers of increased activities in the growth of Negro banks. Messrs. Brown and Stevens, bank promoters of Philadelphia, are now observing their $183,000 building, erect a year ago, do a thriving business; and the Prudential bank people of Washington, after a month of business, report splendid growth.

Instances are being continuously recorded in this state where colored litigants have felt that the lower courts have erred in the conduct of their cases, such error contributing to their unfair punishment; and where such cases have been reviewed in the state and decisions rendered solely on the merits of the case as presented without regard to the color of the litigants. An example of this although there have been many of them, was the case of R. W. Lee, colored and a white man named Bonneville, both of Newport News. About two years ago Messrs. Lee and Bonneville engaged in what the former sustained bruises in which he claimed seriously injured him. Mr. Bonneville is a man of prominence, as is shown by the fact he was a recent candidate for sheriff of Warwick county. He retained eminent counsel to prosecute Mr. Lee and in the Circuit court where the case was bitterly fought with attorney appearing for the defendant, Mr. Lee was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary upon conviction of malicious assault. Thru attorney Newsome the case was carried to the Supreme Court and in an opinion handed down from that tribunal the lower court was reversed upon the lawyer's contention that in order to convict on a charge in excess of assault that the defendant intended to inflict permanent injuries. On this point, it was averred the trial judge failed to instruct the jury. When the case was called for a second trial a few days ago, the Commonwealth attorney stated that in view of the Supreme Court's ruling it would be impossible for him to ask for a higher conviction than assault and battery and agreed to a fine of twenty-five dollars. Attorney Newsome was warmly congratulated for his persistent fight in the case.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1923 Chagrined Because Proprietor Is Alleged To Have Made Away With Whiskey. Officers Use Sticks. MAN ACQUITTED AND WHISKEY RETURNED Danville, Va., Sept. 17—Officers entered Phil Brown's restaurant on Spring street here Saturday morning, searched for liquor, struck Phil over the head with clubs and carried him off to jail on a Mapp act charge. Brown was released on $250 bond. The officers allege that they were given a tip that a quantity of whiskey would go to Brown's place between 6 and 9 o'clock, whereupon they shadowed the place. Shortly thereafter, a man was dragged up in an automobile and the former took a gallon bucket from the car, officers claim, the two entering the restaurant. The officers followed but Brown had been notified that they were on his trail. The police assert when they entered the whiskey had been poured into the sink and Brown had a hatchet in his hand. The place was searched and it is alleged a gallon of whiskey was found. The officers further claim that Brown used abusive language toward the advanced with a bottle in his hands whereupon sergeant Martin struck him three times with his club. BROWN'S VERSION Brown says that when he returned to the restaurant he brought with him some stale meal in a bucket which he was to take to his mother's hogs. The officers, according to Brown's story, searched his place without a warrant. He says that he was splitting wood with a hatchet when the police came upon him and had said something to the girl who works around his place, which officer Martin seemed to have thought was addressed to him. Without further assistance officer Martin, it is claimed, drew his cloak and began beating Brown about the head. Officer "Tally," who it is said upstairs searching for booze, heard the commotion, ran down the steps and joined the first officer in beating the defenseless man. After taking their man to the lock-up the officers went to a furniture store, procured a set of keys, went back to the man's place of business and searched the premises thoroly, finding a small quantity of liquor in a bureau drawer. In Police Court the following day Brown was represented by attorneys J. C. Carter, Malcom Harrington, Judge E. Walton Brown. The accused his acquitted and the court ordered his whiskey returned to him. Phil took his liquor and started from the courtroom with it, when his counsel advised him to allow an officer to take it back. Several Persons Victims of Shooting and Cutting Frays Just a little row on the Kempsville road between the township of Kempsville and Euclid between James Perry of the former place, Jesse Dozier and Ralph Lewis resulted in Perry being brought to St. Vincent's hospital in a serious condition with a bullet in his head. According to the report made to the detectives Perry and Lewis were strolling along the road when they met Dizier, who began arguing with Lewis about a pair of trousers which had been pawned by him. Both men started to fight. Perry assumed the role of pawnmaster. Dizier then is alleged to have pulled a saddle pistol from his pocket and not Perry. County officer Backus brought the man to the hospital. Some shooting and some cutting was the minor result of Sam Murchinson's alleged attempt to invade Ethel Williams' home at 737 Broadway this week. According to the police told by Miss Williams, Murchinson entered her home uninvited and believed by her to be intent upon robbery. She discovered his presence and bade him retreat at the point of a pistol and a flying bullet. Her aim was faulky and Louise Watson was accidently hit in the left off. Murchinson lost no time in moving off Miss Williams' premises, except the short while he was delayed by Charlie White, who grabbed him. Charlie's hold was brief, however, as Murchinson freed himself with clever use of his knife. First Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett and Chauffeur Wedged Between Two Trolley Cars. COLORED DRIVER MAY BE FATALLY INJURED By MORRIS BROWN (Washington Correspondent) Washington, D. C., Sept. 17.—Weldon Holcomb, exchauffeur and Governor John H. Bartlett, First Assistant Postmaster General, miraculously escaped instant-death this morning when the automobile in which they were riding was wedged in between northhound and southbound street cars at Fifth and E. Streets. N. W. WITNESSES HORROR STRICKEN Persons, who viewed the accident turned their heads in horror, not seeing how either of the occupants of the automobile could survive the awful accident. Police declared it to be without a parallel in local records. Holcomb is at the Emergency Hospital seriously, if not fatally injured. Doctors would not permit anyone including his wife to see him. They would make no statement of the condition or the probabilities of his injuries. X-rays have been made of his injuries. His back is either broken or badly fractured. The automobile which he was driving, was a big limousine and the top had to be cut in order to get him out. Governor Bartlett received cuts and bruises on every part of the body, among them a severe cut above the left eye. He was seated in the rear of the car, which was completely crushed, the wooden frame being splintered and smashed into bits smaller than a man's hand. Following treatment at Emergency Hospital, Governor Bartlett was taken to his home. He is resting comfortably though suffering severely from shock. The wrecked car, which is the private property of Governor Bartlett, was towed into the Post Office department garage. It is thought that it will be a total loss. At the time of the accident, Holcomb was driving Governor Bartlett to the Union Station to catch a train for Richmond, Va., where he to attend a postal conference-convention. Eye-WITNESSES GIVES ACCOUNT The following graphic description of the accident was given by an eye-witness: "The automobile was going east on E street. When it was in about 100 feet of Fifth street the chauffeur saw Georgetown car no. 726 slowed and he evidently moment later the car picked up speed, however, and the chauffeur clamped down the brakes. BRAKES FAILS "After the brakes were applied the car failed to respond at once and it slid about fifty feet into the path of the northbound car which struck it into the path of a southbound Lincoln car. The automobile was jammed between the street cars, its left front wheel ground under one car and its rear wheel under the other. White sustaining a cut on the face. Miss Watson and Mr. White became inmates of St. Vincent's hospital temporarily and Murchison is somewhere feeling thankful for his good luck. Maybe it was a little misunderstanding, maybe it was an accident, only two men know which, and one of them can't talk, that resulted in John Lyle being taken to St. Vincent's hospital fatally shot. Richard Williams accompanied him to the hospital and in a sworn statement, after pressure of the detectives, admitted he did the killing, and was an accident. The two men were walking along the Ocean View street car line from the Virginia Railroad working camps in Fairmount Park when the shooting occurred. Town Destroyed By.Fire (By Associated Negro Press) Crystal Springs, Miss, Sept 12—Freedman Town, a settlement composed of one thousand colored families has been partially destroyed by fire, owing to the lack of sufficient water, the mains not having been laid to this settlement. Many, are homeless. Southern Aid Society Completes 30-Year Insurance Leadership During Period of 1893-1923 Its Service In Protection and Employment to the Race Stands as a Monument to Its Founders. On another page of this issue is tersely depicted the results of 30 years of racial service of the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc. The history of this unusual and successful insurance organization refutes—the charge of unstableness of Negroes and Negro Enterprises; the failure of business that no business ever continues with out a failure, in the same line over a period of 20 to 25 years; and, likewise, the claim that no Sick Benefit or Industrial Health Insurance Company can ever hope to attain any distinction or success if it caters entirely to colored patronage, limits its business entirely to the Sick Benefit feature of Insurance. Our group. Hence they secured in February 1893, a team and began the operation of the colored people's oldest and most successful strictly Sick Benefit or Industrial Health Insurance Company. The management of the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc., in having paid promptly, day after day thru 30 years—every just claim for benefits, as demonstrated insurer, the utility of skills of the business; and such a record merits our full confidence and patronage. But in accumulating over $600,000, in inquiries; and in reinsuring, solely to safeguard the protection of thousands of our people, about ten other companies—among them one conducted by white people—at So unusual and astounding were the achievements set forth in the organization's statement that an inquiry was undertaken to determine how such a record was made. It disclosed the fact that the founders of this organization years ago, saw the crying need of some agency of an honorable standing and policy to afford dignified protection, thrue self help, to members of our group during such emergencies as sickness, accident and death of children, and to hundreds of young women and men, who were denied anything but menial labor by other races altho those races profited immensely by the patronage and labor of TRUE REFORMERS IN 43D ANNUAL SESSION Order Making Rapid Progress Under Efficient Leadership Reports Show Big Gains.

Mistress, also read a very excellent paper, after which Mrs. Rosa D. Bowser, a member of Fidelity Ft. of Richmond, delivered a three minutes address in which she extended the greetings of the Richmond Reformers. She was followed with similar greetings on behalf of the citizens of Richmond by Lawyer P. Henry Crutchfield. Mrs. Lillian H. Payne, member of Progressive Ft. of Richmond and of the Office Force of the R. W. Grand Council of Lakes, extended most cordial greetings on behalf of the said Order.

But in accumulating over $600,000,000 in assets; and in ininsuring; solely to safeguard the protection of the lives of our people, about ten other companies, one conducted by white people—altho such action entailed very heavy financial burdens upon the organization; and having stuck to the original plan to conduct an insurance business providing benefits for sickness, accidents and death all in one policy—altho, other companies turned from such business, because it could not be conducted successfully, the management of this company has demonstrated, without a shadow of doubt, that we can big Bigs honors, honorably succeed in business—and even in the face of the greatest discouragement and fierest competition. It will therefore pay everyone to ponder well the achievements of this our pioneer Negro insurance organization, TOLLIVER CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT Understood To Have Talked Over Political Situation In State of Virginia.

C., Sept. 17—A colored man lying on his death bed in Water Valley, Miss., several years ago handed over to L. W. Mackey, white $140, which he had found some time before. It was his last wish that Mr. Mackey find the rightful owner of the mowing equipment. The man hoped not to get into eternity with the sting upon his conscience of concealing another man's money. Before he expired he informed Mr. Mackey that he thought the owner was a man named Barfield and that he lived in Grenade county, Miss. He died. Mr. Mackey made inquiries in Grenade county for one Barfield. He failed to locate him there. Twenty-two years have passed and now the curtain rises upon the house. The old barfield. Mackey learns of one Barfield in Fayetteville, N. C. He writes to him inquiring if he remembers losing such a sum of money. A quick reply in the affirmative is received and a personal check on L. W.

DOCTOR GRASPS SEVERED JUGLAR VEIN; SAVES LIFE Dr. Wilbur A. Drake Successfully Performs Emergency Operation Without Taking Time To Wash His Hands. SURVIVALS OF JUGLAR VEIN CUTS ARE RARE Sunday September, 9th, a young man at Lamberts Point had the misfortune of having his throat cut and the external jauvelar vein severed. He was rushed to Tidewater Hospital, getting there in about ten minutes after being cut. It happened that Dr. Wilbur A. Drake was sitting on his porch, next door to the hospital when the injured man arrived. With this he himself the doctor rushed to his aid, grasping the cut vein with his finger held it until instruments could be secured. The man had lost a very large amount of blood and death seemed imminent. The vein was tied and the wound was dressed, salt solution was given direct into a blood vessel, under the skin by proctolysis and the patient soon regained consciousness and is now getting well. So far no complications have developed and the man is in very good shape. This case is remarkable in the fact that a very few persons who suffer the cutting of the jugular vein owes his life, to the prompt man intelligent surgical service he received so soon after he had been cut. In his twenty-two years of active surgical practice this is the first case, Dr. Drake says, that he has ever seen where the patient lived after such an injury. Barring complication, which may yet develop there is no reason why this man should not get entirely well with the exception of a partial facial paralysis due to the cutting of a very important nerve. HOME OWNERSHIP EXPOSITION PLANNED Norfolk Real Estate And Stock Exchange To Endeavor To Create Better Homes. The Norfolk Real Estate and Stock Exchange is arranging an Own Your Home Exposition to be staged in the Armory Hall the week of October 8 to 13, for the purpose of creating a desire for home ownership and for better homes. The reality exchange has planned the exposition in the belief that the physiological moment has come to educate the people of Norfolk up to a point of home ownership and better homes. The exposition will be the most elaborate affair of this kind ever held in this section. The objects of the exposition, as outlined by the committee, are as follows: A. The financing of the home by moulding public opinion (which includes the banks and lenders of money) to the effect that the home is the best insurance of good government, better citizenship, and the best stabilizer of labor and banking credit. B. Adequate supply of building materials, promoting better production and distribution facilities, so that the law of supply and demand which governs prices, may eventually stabilize building costs. C. Creating a never-ceasing heartfelt desire in all American citizens to own and own homes, and that they may become a contented, productive, law-abiding force in their respective communities. D. To create a sentiment of thrift that will induce every homeless or rent-paying person to 'begin saving now to enable them to make the initial payment for the home they will eventually own.' F. To encourage building operations on a vast scale to relieve the 1,500,000 national housing shortage and thus giving employment to every form of labor throughout the land. G. To create new prospective home buyers and to bring them in personal contact with the realtor that he may assist them in their needs and desires. BY REV. J. E.

We find him at Ethesene with his brother, Timothy, and was sent back to Thessalonica. He was sent on ahead to Macedonia. He is again with Paul at Corinth, and he was sent to Corinth to rescue.

The Christian Ministry is the most esteemed of cultivals. It wins eternal rewards. No one can be more faithful to God than souls for Christ. The minister long Christian for his partner, and he knows he cannot. The Christian Ministry is the most useful of cultivals. It touches men on the ground, comforts them. It protects the tempted, comforts the oppressed, directs the perplexed, saves the slime, models community life and reaches out to all national and international afiliates. CHURCH DIRECTORY ST.

Henry Allen Boyd Secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board, conducted a model Sunday School* in which 500 teachers gathered. Everything moved harmoniously until President Jones began his annual address. He took pot shots at Henderson, but when he accused his ally, he stated he accused of conducting a campaign against him in the denominational press. Also he referred to his seminal fight on Salem Bapt. Church, Chiengo, and promised to fight to keep it closed as long as he lived. From that moment the convention was in bedlam. President Jones was interrupted by cat calls and shrills. whistles until as he canaled his address he dramatically added his address naming committee brought a report from that body in-which Rev. J. E. Woods of Kentucky, Rev. D. B. Over of Denver, and Rev. Jones names were proposed with the recommendation that Dr. Jones be positioned to contest soon narrowed down to Rev. Jones and Rev. Woods, the latter finally winning decisively. Rev. Jones sprang to his feet declared he was being defrauded and invited those who were his followers to leave the meeting with him.

Jones came back and while he was not fully accepted into the good graces of the convention they heard his plea for $1,600 which he said he had appended personally for the good of the convention. $800 was allowed him this claim. These who followed him appeared before the meeting, said they had been missed and were accepted back into the fold. The remainder of the session was serene. Henry Allen Boyd was retained as Secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board. The 1224 session will be held in Chicago.

"The misrepresentation and fanatic propaganda of the so-called Negro leaders for the remption of Africa have caused millions of the unfortunate Negroes to suffer terribly in all parts of America." He then said in part: "First they have listened to the hot-air airspeeches of these fake, silver tongued orators and lost all their savings in trying to redeem Africa on imagination and impossible ideas, but that Africa is a wild continent, where molasses and bread trees grow abundantly - without any cultivation in the jungles, and then have discovered that the nations there are not wild people, as they were bold by their leaders, and that they were not bold by their leaders, and talked too much and have criticized every white man who has tried to help the Nercers." "If Africa must be redeemed, it must be through a Christian civilization, education, thrift, industry and brotherly love, but not through fanatical propaganda and radical movements, because as it is impossible for a blind man to lead both of them perishing in it, so it will be impossible for an American or West Indian Negro to carry all the American Negroes back to Africa and establish an empire for them in Liberia with his stupidity and unbridled audacity. "I will call your attention to some ricans among the ricans that make it impossible for one black man to rule all the black people of the world. "Africa is a continent larger than America. The inhabitants are divided into tribes; one tribe cannot understand another tribe because they speak different languages and dialects. They also have kings, chiefs, princes, and presidents in various towns and cities, all of which these rulers governs his own territory. As it is impossible for the Governor of New York to control the Governor of Virginia in the United States, so it is impossible for the king of Abyssinia to control the president of Liberia in Africa. But if a native should happen to organize a radical movement for the establishment of his own empire, he would cut off and hung on a tree for conspiracy, according to the native laws. "Politically and financially speaking, the American Negroes are not in a position of controlling a free empire of their own in any part of Africa, because it takes lots of money and education to operate a government. Millions of Negroes in the United States and the West Indies are illiterates. They don't have enough sense and money to take care of themselves, and they have to depend upon the white people for their support. Some of them have a condition than some of the nature." "The majority of the rich Negroes in the United States are so stingy and seldom that they won't spend their money to help support the Negro schools. If it were not for some of the white people who are spending their money to help support the Negro schools, I wonder what would become of the Negro children in the United States."

St. Paul Squad Has Forty Men Captain Parker Practicing In Mid-Season Form; Coach Douglas To Pick A Machine Soon. (By J. L. WHITEHEAD) Lawrenceville, Va.—St. Paul's football squad, from which Coach Doughs will pick the fastest, most alert and formidable varsity machine that has ever donned the Orange and Black togs, is composed of forty men, with an average weight of 169 pounds. With three exceptions, last year's varsity team is intact, "Judge" Vaughan, Miller and Williams are the absentees. Vaughan is certain not to show up, but there is a probability of Miller's and William's returning. They are showing up remarkably well in speed, agility, endurance and scrimage. Tackling the dummy, muscular exercises, running, jumping, and signal drill cover the diurnal pastime. The lads are grasping the instructions and fundamentals encouragingly; they are imbued with the ability to that a undaunted determination, which is a never dying characteristic of St. Paulites, is obvious. "Red" Parker, St. Paul's 1923 Pilot, is practicing in mid-session form, notwithstanding the fact that he has 100 pounds of avoidupois to content with. Captain Parker expresses himself as beacon of hope for the children and developments to date; and he believes that his team will win the C. I. A. A. football championship this year. Every player has implicit confidence in their leader, which augurs well for St. Paul's 1923 Pilot. Next week the second team will uncover Seminary's plays, while the varsity outfit will take the defense.

State Tennis Championship held in this city during the past week under the auspices of the Wilson Lawn Tennis club brought out some of the most spirited plays ever witnessed in the state. From the opening of the first round thru to the finals the large and enthusiastic gallery was stirred to rounds of applause by the sharp rallies of the matches. In the Men's Singles, the semi finals left Dr. M. E. DuBissette of Wilson, in the upper brace, and Rev. B. C. Robeson, of Fayetteville, in the lower. Dr. DuBissette, in the lower, fashion but Rev. Robeson had fought through a hard field, in one match having eliminated the former champion, Dr. Furlonge, in straight sets 7-5, 6-4. The finals found these two players facing each other before the largest gallery that had ever witnessed a similar match in this state. Robeson out of position and shooting a stiff forehand down the sidelines. Robeson took the longest set of the match when he won the third, 9-7, and showed his best form for the second, but while DuBissette had at last found himself, Robeson, by taking the net was able to smash through to victory. After the ten-minutes rest DuBissette quickly discovered that he was the stronger of the two and by a merciless bombardment of his opponents back-hand ran out the next two sets 7-5, 6-3, for the match leg on the B. W. Richardson cup. In the Women's singles, Miss Nan Hines of Rocky Mount, defeated her sister Miss Lillian Hines in straight sets 6-2, 6-3, and thus secured a leg on the Raleigh cup. In the Men's Doubles, Rev. Robson and Rev. Hervitage, of Fayetteville, accomplished the expected when. they walked away in straight sets 6-2, D. B. B. B. Church, of Wilson, 6-1, 6-3. This match was limited to two sets because of approaching darkness This match ended one of the most unique sporting events in the athletic history of the state. Among the out-of-town visitors were son, of Norfolk, Va.; Mr. S. H. Hunter, of New York; Mr. Hunter, Mr. Amme, and Mayor Whitted, of Durham; Dr. and Mrs. McGailey, Dr. and Mrs. Evans, Dr. and Mrs. Taylor, the Misses Otey, and Mr. W. W. Rourke, of Raleigh; Mrs. Parkey and Mrs. Armstrong of Rocky Mount; Mrs. Edwards of Rocky Mount; Mrs. Taft and Hawkins of Greenville; Messrs. Constance, Cotton, Morrison and Brown; of Henderson; and Mr. Mangum, of Oxford.

It is proposed to hold the next annual tournament in Darham.

By James E. Smith The Norfolk Red Sox, a fast bunch of baseball youngsters under the leathership of captain Stephen Drew played rings around manager Howard's Sons of Norfolk Base Ball Club and made the old boys—Slaxey Woods, "Catfish" Moore and the "Old Wise One" George Wright feel like retiring from the game and playing here after from the bleachers. The Sox just outclassed the Sons in every department of the game and but for bad breaks of unpiring would have piled up a big score. As it was the score re COLONIAL THEATRE Theatres Great Cast In "The Old Homestead." The phrase "all star" has been much abused, but the cast of "The Old Homestead" which comes to the Star theatre next Friday may truthfully be said to be of that calibre. Theodore Roberts, Geo. Fawcett, T. Roy Barnes, Fritzi Ridgway, Harrison Ford, Kathleen O'Connor, James Mason, Ethel Wales and others make up a list that is hard to surpass. This Paramount picture is based on Denman Thompson's famous play in which that celebrated actor, John C. Reilly, is but far more extensive in character and presents a great drama with plenty of comedy and a smashing climax. BOOTLEGERS CLEVER The story of "Outlaws of the Sea," the new picture which will be released this week, the new Wednesday is a clever one up-to-date in popular interest. It deals with bootlegging as it is carried on between the Florida coast and an island in the Bahamas, and concerns the trick of the leaded oil industry and activities with the innocent aid of a simple old man, a retired sea captain, and his pretty daughter.

They were from the National Association for the Advancement of弱ed People, various other organizations and individual citizens throughout the United States. The protests invariably branded the Mayor as "a second Caar of Russia and "a Kaiser," and ask that he stop "hounding Negroes." They also charge him with abuse of authority. The Mayor takes the arbitrary position that it does not matter what authority he has. "Foir their ches or promise to pay! M NOW!

Most of them are out now and the rest of them are going fast. BLAMES NEGROES FOR VICE CONDITIONS The Mayor pulled open a drawer of his desk and displayed a scattered array of telegrams. "See these?" he said. "They are protests from all over the country, calling me a second 'Czar of Russia,' and a 'Kaiser' and every other thing. They tell me I'm going to into trouble. I don't care what they say. "I wish some of them were here to go into the holes of vice that have been set up in this city and near it by hordes of imported Negroes. "That has to stop and the Negroes responsible for it must leave the city. If the rest of them don't get out soon I'll arm police-and send them into the colonies to walk the Negroes out of town at the point of a gun." Mayor Caufiel says that he did not order the Negroes out of town, but "requested" them to leave. This request, however, was issued in most drastic terms, and the exodus of 3,000 Negroes followed. In police court the Mayor is dealing with colored people in a most high-handed manner. Every colored man brought before him—no matter how trivial the offense or on what pretext—the sentence is $100 and costs, or ninety days in the county jail. Mexicans are treated in likemanner. The causes of the Mayor's drastic order are two. The direct cause was an outbreak in Rosedale, a labor colony, in which a county detective and a special officer were killed, a captain of police and a patrolman probably fatally injured and a detective fatally wounded, on last Thursday. Two other policemen were injured. The indirect cause, which lies at the bottom of the whole trouble, was resentment against the importation of Negro labor by the steel companies, which began several years ago when there was a shortage of labor. Probably 5,000 Negroes and Mexicans were brought here to work in the large plants of the Bethlehem Steel Company. They were segregated in two large labor colonies. Mayor Caufield protested against the importation of this labor several times and it was generally understood that this attitude was unfriendly toward Negroes, to say the least. The exodus is going on without any further outreaches. The Bethlehem Steel Company, under the circumstances, is paying off Negroes and Mexicans as fast as they apply. County authorities have taken no action and do not indicate that they will interfere with the Mayor in the carrying out of this unwarranted order. New York, Sept. 18—Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, today sent a telegram to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here announcing that "the whole power of this commonwealth will be used, if necessary, to maintain constitutional rights" at Johnstown, Pa., where wholesale deportation of Negroes is alleged to have been ordered by Mayor Caulfield. The governor's telegram, which was made public by the association, also said he had wired Mayor Caulief "asking him for a full statement of facts and reasons for the action taken." Governor Pinchot's telegram was in response to a protest made by the association, against the alleged action of Mayor Joseph Caufeil in ordering all Negroes who have not been residents for seven years to leave Johnstown immediately following the killing of two police and the wounding of four others, the crimes being charged to the Negroes.

Georgia Pays The Price Manchester, Ga., Sept. 19—According to a survey made by Mr. James S. Peters, of Manchester, Ga., President of the Georgia Bankers' Association, the loss this year to Georgia alone, through the migration of Negroes, will approximate the huge sum of $27,000,000, or an amount that would have permitted the expenditure by the State of nearly $175,000 for colored schools in each of the 155 counties. Mr. Peters claims that in the wake of the departing Negroes 46,674 vacant farmhouses and 55,524 idle plows are left. Rev. Bowling Is Returning To City Rev. Richard H.

ON TO BROOKLYN AND ON TO THE WHITE HOUSE Delegate Being Named From Many States To 16th Annual Equal Rights Convention. Boston, Mass., Sept. 19, 1923—The race is showing a lively interest in the 16th Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League at Brooklyn, Sept., 26, called for a National Race Assembly on equality of rights. The National Headquarters here is receiving many requests for the Official Call from all parts of the country by members of the race who are getting up delegates through mass meetings or through local race organizations and churches. Special interest is being taken in the project of having the race itself, in a called national delegated assembly, formulate a program of its own for justice, equality and protection, comprising a statement of the wrongs suffered, of its case in equity, and its policy for remedial action, which is to be presented by a delegation elected by the Convention to President Coolidge at the White House at the convention's close. Later this race document will be laid before both Houses of the U. S. Congress. The reduction of delegates from the South by the National Republican Committee has stirred the race as other acts under the new president have. All earnest minds of the race are cordially invited to attend as delegates from local Equal Rights League branches, from Citizens or Equal Rights Committees, or from any race lodges, organizations or churches. The League invites the race to come from all sources, regardless of organization or denomination lines, for the freshest possible deliberation and greatest possible concert of action. The convention meets in the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Franklin and DeKalb Avenues, Brooklyn, Rev. T. S. Harten, pastor and president of the Brooklyn Branch Equal Rights League. The League asks that popular mass meetings be held in every place on Monday, Sept. 24, with the slogan, "On to Brooklyn from everywhere, Colored America, to send commissioners to the White House."

T. I. Ballow, a Negro evangelist in a big tent meeting last Sunday night. About 2,000 colored heard the stirring address. "No race can rise above its original ignorance if its homes continue to to be a menace to the peace and order of the community. Nobody here will deny that some of our homes in Atlanta are actually a menace and that Dectaur Street is a disgrace to the colored people of this city." The address has created considerable of a stir among the most respectable elements of the city's colored population. PANTEGO Pantego, N.

OCTOBER 7TH TO 13TH FOR FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Municipalities, Chambers of Commerce, Fire Underwriters To Join In Campaign. October 7 to 13 is national fire prevention week at which time municipalities, fire underwriters and public spirited citizens everywhere will endeavor to impress upon the minds of the American people the tremendous loss sustained yearly thru preventable fires, and call to the attention of the public how this great national waste can be materially reduced thru the acquisition of a more cautious attitude in dealing with fire hazards. America's fire loss last year of $521,600,000 greatly exceeded that of 1906 when San Francisco was burned. In fact no such tremendous destruction ever has been recorded for a single twelve-month in any country at any period in the world's history. This coupled with the fatalities, which could not have totaled less than 15,000, affords-ample reason for injecting into the activities of the coming week a new and still more vigorous spirit. President Coolidge, it is expected will officially nationalize the week, as has been done of late years, by issuing a proclamation; and it is next to certain that supplementary messages to the public again will be forthcoming from the gov.

Premier Mussolini of Italy, in his dealing with Greece, has acted as if he wanted a real war in which he could be soundly thrashed.

Marcus Garvey has secured bail in $15,000 cash and is now at liberty in New York. It may be a long time before his case on appeal from conviction and sentence is called for trial.

The National response to the needs of the earthquake sufferers of Japan made by the people of the Nation, has been one of the most spontaneous and generous in the history of mankind.

Jews Every Where but Mostly in Big Cities The average person is quite disposed to imagine that the Jewish race are among the most numerous on the earth, simply because he can't go anywhere without finding Jews and because they are actively engaged in business of all kinds which attracts attention to them. In small and large communities alike they are to be found active and prominent as business influences and often in the large cities in the professions and politics as well. As a matter of fact there are only a few more Jews in all the world than Negroes in the United States, it appearing to be impossible to get an accurate and satisfying census of the latter. The average person is quite disposed to imagine that the Jewish race are among the most numerous on the earth, simply because he can't go anywhere without finding Jews and because they are actively engaged in business of all kinds which attracts attention to them. In small and large communities alike they are to be found active and prominent as business influences and often in the large cities in the professions and politics as well. As a matter of fact there are only a few more Jews in all the world than Negroes in the United States, it appearing to be impossible to get an accurate and satisfying census of the latter. The American Jewish Year Book for 1923-24, compiled by Harry Schneiderman, editor of the book, shows that are only 15,500,000 Jews in the world, and of this number 1,643,012, representing 29 per cent of the total, reside in New York City, making that city the largest Jewish city in the world. Strangely enough in Palestine the ancient home of the Jews, there are only 83,794 Jews. The Jews, it will readily be seen, are a peculiar people. They have not the numbers that other races have, but they are seen and felt in the world's thought and efforts more than any other race; in fact they lead all of the other races, some of the outstanding thinkers of the age being rated as Jews. In all lands and in all tongues they maintain their race unity and traditions and religion, and with all of the persecution they are subjected to in most countries except the United States and Great Britain, they increase in wealth and influence, if not in numbers. They must be the children of the Lord. Put 'Em In School The schools have opened, the classes gotten underway and the enrollment figures show that America has a grand and mighty school population. But they are not all in yet. There are thousands of boys and girls in the rural districts throut the South, particularly among the colored people, for whom no school bells will ring for one, in some instances two, months hence. And against these same boys and girls the school doors will close as soon as the first green blade shoots out of the earth as a harbinger of spring. And even these brief school terms prevailing in some sections of the country are further abbreviated by parents and children themselves. There are crops to be harvested, wood to be hewn for the winter's fuel supply, dunkards to be made ready for the week-end markets, mid-winter planting; all of which too often shorten the rural boy's school term by half. Compulsory educational laws, wherever they are supposed to be in operation, generally do not mean anything to Negroes in the rural districts, for the obvious reason that their enforcement is in the hands of people who depend upon colored labor the year-round; and the boy or girl who is handy in attending farm-house chores is in no danger of a visit from the truant officer. In the cities there are parents who will be inclined to allow their children to loiter around home on account of insufficient clothes to go to school, as they will put it. This is as good as no excuse at all. Neat and clean clothes are all that is necessary, even if they be woven from calico, jeanes or hickory. It requires a good deal of sacrifice on the part of poor parents to keep children in school but a prodigious use of soap, water and the needle will go a long way toward making the average boy and girl presentable for classes. Clean, plain and neat dress for school adds materially to the moral strength of the child and spares us the shock to our sense of childhood innocence as the sight of expensive finery on school children always gives. Parents owe their children a chance at success and opportunity by educating them. It makes no difference what your opportunities were, or were not, your children are living in an age the complexities of which make it impossible, except in rare instances, for an uneducated person to make even a medicore success. Your child has a right with every other child to start in life without handicap, and because thru circumstances it may be handicapped in clothes, you have no right to be a party to further handicapping it in life's opportunities by either denying or being indifferent to its education. They are yours, and depending upon you to aid them to make headway against the vicissitudes of life. If you allow them to grow up as weeds in the human garden, whatever their lives should eventually be will be as a curse to your memory. Along about this time of the year the teen-age boy, who finished elementary school last spring, is debating in his mind whether to go to high school or hold onto his job and make money this winter in order to have good clothes and a spree when the holidays are on. Parents be on your guard for this boy's inclinations. If he doesn't seem to be deciding in the right direction, make the decision for him, and be sure that it heads him straight toward the high school. He may feel rebellious now, but will thank you a thousand times for your positiveness long before he reaches your age. Rural parents, arrange the farm work so your children will not be denied a chance to attend school and attend every day of your short term. It will be far better to allow the weeds to grow in your fields than to have human weeds growing up in life's acres, because the unerring scythe in life's field of bread winning-will surely cut them down to their sorrow and your disgrace. Put 'em in school, regardless of the sac rife; put 'em in school. Speed Maniacs o greater menace to the eating the public highway e the speed maniac, and t e density of magistrates to with more severity is a o cction that merits strong bug is a potential murder on the gunman who his victim with a motiv avenging wraith the aver on chance of never coming ever may strike down an There is no greater menace to the safety of persons using the public highways than the automobile speed maniac, and the increasing propensity of magistrates to handle this offender with more severity is a drift in the right direction that merits strong public approval. The speed bug is a potential murder more dangerous than the gunman who always strikes down his victim with a motive, and within whose avenging wrath the average citizen has an even chance of never coming. But the speed murderer may strike down any of us, any time, day or night, with no motive for exacting a human life, orphaning children or widowing mothers other than an insane craving for more speed. The driver of the car that hit the colored woman at the corner of Church and Queen streets Friday night was a particularly aggrivating offender. Any person who pilots an automobile down one of the cities main arteries at a fifty-mile and hour clip ought to be behind penitentiary bars. Every person happening to be on Church street when that maniac at the wheel was coming thru was in danger of his life; one slip of control and the machine would have been upon the sidewalk squandering life and mainming limbs. It is the duty of all citizens to co-operate with the police in unearthing crime and apprehending criminals, but this is a case that especially demands the interest of the public in aiding to establish the identity of the driver of the car and causing his arrest. The resources of the detective department should be employed in an effort to bring this man Chicago's Migrant Problem The United Press has made a sure the Migrants in Chicago which is not easy reassuring, from the viewpoint of the prospects of the Migrants, with whose doing the readers of the Journal and are all interested in more or less degree Survey declares that hundreds of the Migrants, raw plantation hands, the South, are facing unemployment with coming of cold, weather, and efforts are made to divert many of them from the industrial centers to the rural districts, and with sure of success. But the fact remains the black folks who are deserting the of the country have no more disposition return to them than do the white folks are doing the same thing. The disposition away from the farm to the industrial cities, and that is always a danger, concerned, as far as the National welfare concerned. The life of the Nation dep in the last analysis, upon the tillers of soil. New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, trot and Chicago are the principal cities the Migrants have gone to mostly, and Chicago is the favorite, it appears, for such Some 25,000 have gone since the ginning of the year, and it is receiving comers at the rate of some 3,000 a week the housing problem is very acute. much the same way in all of the other. A strange discouraging feature of the station is that Welfare organizations do spring up where the new-comers are as are where foreigners are congregated. reason for this is that the race does not pear to be given to organization for a guarding and developing of its mutual interests. It is a mutual distrust of each on the one hand and a coerse-ness on other. The sentiment, commonly heard are our group, is, "You can't tell me nuthin' I know all about it." It is a fatal weakness and holds us back not only in our social economic but in our political welfare as it. It would be a helpful thing if our pass everywhere would preach the doctrine of good organization for social and economic protection and growth more than they do. We'd such摈ment here in Norfolk as much we do in Chicago and other large cities where we are numerously gathered. We believe there is a God purpose in the Migr movement, and that while there may be no suffering among the people, with the cost of the winter days, all will be evended for better finally. The United Press has made a survey of the Migrants in Chicago which is not entirely reassuring, from the viewpoint of the winter prospects of the Migrants, with whose well doing the readers of the Journal and Guide are all interested in more or less degree. The Survey declares that hundreds of thousands of the Migrants, raw plantation hands, from the South, are facing unemployment with the coming of cold, weather, and efforts are being made to divert many of them from the industrial centers to the rural districts, and with a measure of success. But the fact remains that the black folks who are deserting the farms of the country have no more disposition to return to them than do the white folks who are doing the same thing. The disposition is away from the farm to the industrial life of the cities, and that is always a dangerous tendency, as far as the National welfare is concerned. The life of the Nation depends, in the last analysis, upon the tillers of the soil. New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago are the principal cities that the Migrants have gone to mostly, and Chicago is a favorite, it appears, for such people Some 25,000 have gone there since the beginning of the year, and it is receiving new-comers at the rate of some 2,000 a week, and the housing problem is very acute. It is much the same way in all of the other cities. A strange discouraging feature of the situation is that Welfare organizations do not spring up where the new-comers are as they do where foreigners are congregated. The reason for this is that the race does not appear to be given to organization for safe-guarding and developing of its mutual interests. It is a mutual distrust of each other on the one hand and a cock-suresson on the other. The sentiment, commonly heard among our group, is, "You can't tell me nuthin man; I knows all about it." It is a fatal weakness, and holds us back not only in our social and economic but in our political welfare as well. It would be a helpful thing if our pastors everywhere would preach the doctrine of group organization for social and economic protection and growth more than they do. We need such preachment here in Norfolk as much as we do in Chicago and other large centers where we are numerously gathered. We believe there is a God purpose in the Migrant movement, and that while there may be much suffering among the people, with the coming of the winter days, all will be evening for the better finally. Mrs. Bickett and Our Women One of the outstanding addresses of the Courteenth annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Kansas City, was that of Mrs. Thomas Bickett, widow of the late Governor Bickel of North Carolina, and a member of the Inter-Racial Commission. Mrs. Bickett touched every responsive chord in the following synthetic statement: "I stand here to night-come I want to bring to you, the new generation, some which you have forgotten, from the folks other days. Standing between these two generations there is a chasm that is yawning between, many of us have forgotten the old days, white and black. We do not remember the wonderful things that have come from those days from our white pees and our colored people. "Wonderful women in the colored race have met and known and known to know which you with us are. On the Inter-Racial Commission, it represents as fine colored people is there and in the whole of this country and I respect and admire them; but much that nobility, much of that wonderful creative ability come to them from these women of other days. There needs to be built a bridge between that generation and this we may go to one from the other and carry the chasm memories of the things of other days. Mrs. Bickett then related the circumstances which led to the organization of the Inter-Racial Commission, in Atlanta, saying: "And what are some of the things the young South to-day we women, black and white trying to do together? These are the children of to-morrow better citizen women, women's clubs, Young Women's Christian associations, through all organizations stressing the Christian teaching, that we may bring the children of to-morrow better citizen white and black, of our beloved country, under vision, a greater fulfillment and a more honest Christianity than this generation has known. You may not think I am doing exactly what you were in my place. I am standing with my face to the sun. I am looking into the unseen and as for I can judge. I am doing the thing He would love me do." Mrs. Bickett's appeal to the old and sympathetic relations the races used to sustain awards each other in the South and the tribe she pays to our women workers she known the Inter-Racial Commission shows that there is a new spirit working among the two races which is bearing good and helpful relics and should work continuously for such. One of the outstanding addresses of the fourteenth annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at Kansas City, was that of Mrs. Thomas W. Bickett, widow of the late Governor Bickett, of North Carolina, and a member of the InterRacial Commission. Mrs. Bickett touched a very responsive chord in the following sympathetic statement: "I stand here to-night because I want to bring to you, the new generation, some things which you have forgotten, from the folks of other days. Standing between these two generations there is a chasm that is yawning between. Many of us have forgotten those wars, and also. We do not remember the wonderful things that have come to us from those days from our white people and our colored people. "Wonderful women in the colored race I have met and known and learned to know as friends. On the Inter-racial Commission, which I represent are as fine colored women as there are in the whole of this country and I respect and admire them; but much of that mobility, much of that wonderful executive ability come to them from these women of other days. There needs to be built a bridge between that generation and this so we may go to one from the other and carry with us across that chasm memories of the fine things of other days." Mrs. Bickett then related the circumstances which led to the organization of the Inter-Racial Commission in Atlanta saving: "And what are some of the things that down South to-day we women, black and white are trying to do together? These are the things. We are working through the churches, women's clubs, Young Women's Christian Associations, through all organizations stressing the Christian teaching, that we may bring up the children of to-morrow better citizens, white and black, of our beloved country, a wider vision, a greater fulfillment and a more earnest Christianity than this generation has known. You may not think I am doing exactly as you would do if you were in my place. But I am standing with my face to the sun, I am looking into the unseen and as far as I can judge. I am doing the thing He would have me do." Mrs. Bickett's appeal to the old and sympathetic relations the races used to sustain towards each other in the South and the tribute she pays to our women workers she knows in the Inter-Racial Commission shows that there is a new spirit working among the two races which is bearing good and helpful results and should work continuously for such.

The outcome of the strike of the anthracite coal miners is due to the fine work of Governor Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, who was able to persuade the operators and miners to come to an understanding, the advantage being with the miners, however, who gained on most of the points in controversy. And the coal miners get a raise of ten per cent all around, while the public pays as usual, it being estimated that coal will cost about one dollar per ton more than the present price, which is much too high. Governor Pinchot is working out a plan by which the coal operators and railroad carriers will share between them the additional cost of ten per cent, and if he succeeds it will be a great victory for the consumers of coal. There is also a movement on foot to bring about such legislation by Congress as will regulate more fairly the cost of coal to the public and prevent the yearly threat of a coal strike. The country has become convinced that some drastic legislation must be secured in order to protect the consumers and industries dependent upon the coal supply and the chances are that the people will get what they want. It has really become a matter of politics and it will have to be settled and settled right because the people demand that it shall be. Bricfs and Spices (BY S. J. C.)

P.) 40-What was the Carrizal incident? In 1916 the United States sent a punitive expedition under General Pershing into Mexico in pursuit of the Villa forces, which had raided Columbus, New Mexico. Two Negro regiments, the 10th Cavalry and the 24th Infantry were a part of this expedition. On June 21st Troops C. and K. of the 10th Cavalry were ambushed at Carrizal by some 600 Mexican soldiers. Altho outnumbered almost 40 to 1, those black soldiers dismounted in the face of a withering machine gun charged the Mexicans and killed the commander and put them to flight. 41—Who were the original United Empire Loyalists? The original United Empire Loyalists were soldiers in the British forces in the American Revolutionary war. It was their services and sacrifices that made possible a British North America. They were the pioneers of liberty, and at the second session of their first Parliament abolished slavery, while the American Republic notwithstanding its famous declaration that all men are created free and equal, did not get rid of slavery until seventy-three years later. 42—Who was Auron McDuffie Moore? Among the illustrious may be numbered Dr. Aaron McDuffie Moore, one of the best known professional and business men south of the Mason and Dixon line. Standing out as a prominent figure in any enterprise that meant for the betterment of his Race, particularly in North Carolina, his career was heaped with untiring zeal, he worked with untiring zeal, and founded the Lincoln Hospital, and founded the Library at Durham, N.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following article from the Dearborn Independent and the pen of Gustava Adolphus Steward was written with particular reference to an Ohio city, but its broad application is a common community. Only recently in our own city we have heard echoes that make its meaning especially significant to us. From the Dearborn Independent By GUSTAVUS ADOLPHU STEWARI It is the last day of the month You pay your water bill today of the water is shut off. The dingy temporary quarters of the Water Division in High street, into which quarters it was forced to move after fire destroyed the City Hall nearly two years ago, are besieged by "last minute" citizens. Every stopping street car adds two or three more to their number. They stretch in an jincing-along, serpentine line from the cashier's window down the entire length of the aisle between the gloomy "cages" of the sundry other officials to the door and into the street. This group has kept a faithful and hardworking city out of its money until the last possible moment an I. I am near the line of the and having come without my bill, I beckon to an attendant, hoping that he will get me a duplicate and save me from losing my place in line. No use. Politely he indicates a "cage" and I surrender my place. At the "cage" a woman is ahead of me. She is matronly in appearance, dressed quietly, has a kindly face and cheerful smile. She, too, asks for a duplicate bill. "What street and number?" inquires the official. "No.—Champion avenue." "Why, that's changed to Hayes avenue now, nain't it?" "I don't know—Champion's the name on the street sign." "Oh, well, you know those folks down there where the governor lives changed the name to Governor Place and those up there where you live changed it to Hayes avenue—Hey Bill (to another official), ain't No—Champion avenue Hayes avenue now? Bill says "yes," and the first official continues: "Wouldn't you prefer to have it Hayes avenue?" "Well, yes (hesitatingly), for one reason I would." "Certainly, I thought so." I listen. They don't mention that reason. By some sort of occult thought transference, the mastery of which any medium would give her very soul to possess, each knows that reason. I, too, know what is in their minds, but it isn't a reason. Still smiling, the lady gets her bill. I get mine and go to the end of the line. Champion avenue is one of the north and south streets of the city. Two east and west thoroughfares, about half a mile apart, cross it near its northern extremity. To the north of one of these its name is changed to Hayes Avenue; to the south of Hayes it is channelled to Governor Place. These changes leave a section of the street in between the two east and west thoroughfares still named Champion avenue. I try to analyze the mental attitude that prompts, indeed, rather compels, the desire to change the name of a perfectly proper American city street the moment it extends from north and south of the city, indefinitely locality. Perhaps you can help me. But you will first have to see that portion of the street which causes its remainder to want to disclaim kinship with it. We will go early on a summer morning before the inhabitants are astin and before the traffic prevents an uninterruptible street reveals itself to best advantage at that time and season. Here it is. Look at it. It is absolutely orthodox, just like a thousand others in a thousand American cities and towns. It is straight. It is regulation width. Its roadway is asphalted, its sidewalk cemented. The houses on both sides of it seem to be made mudly brown, and race with the curb as goal. The are of the humber sort, many needing paint, with here and there a feebly pretentious one, here and there an ancient shack. An occasional patch of green lawn, a red-capped climbing rose or blue-flamed hydrangea clinging for dear life to a decaying porch-post, attests an attempt at beauty isolated and struggling, swallowed in the engulfed bifaceted stores and equally obstructive restaurants, a huge modern school building squatting broadly and possessively near a forsaken church, and the great white-columned edifice which supplanted the humber place of worship complete the picture. There is no hint of architectural unity. As far as that is concerned equally attractive architectural jumbles have been almost achieved by freakish architectically treeless, the street's unreflexed intensified by those tall wire-strung poles which are the despair both of city-planning idealists and telephone companies. You have to admit that this section of the street "conforms." It is American. Even its name is American. You don't see anything wrong with the name "Champion." Indeed Champion is altogether a long name for an American Sixties It is a kind of skiliness of that proud country which "can lick the whole creation." Yet something bothers you. Oh, yes. The finest talent among colored artists records for Columbia. And there are many other Bessie Smith "blues" you will want to own.

Why, the people living in her们 are colored. You knew there was a reason didn't you. And now you see the "reason" the lady at the Water Division office preferred to have another name for that part of the street where she lives. But, honestly do you see a reason? The most unreasoning and unreasonable thing in the world is race prejudice. That is such a trite expression and so obviously true that one feels one's self to be on the mental level with an imbecile in inserting it here. Abuses of race prejudice do not seem to make even the semblance of a dent on the American brain. Indeed, American rather triumphantly believes in that absurdity, in spite of the fact that it leads the believer into numerous and multifarious minor absurdities, such as changing the name of portions of a street merely because colored people live in another portion of it. That's here in Ohio. In other parts of the country which are less disingenuous on the subject of "race relations" than on the subject of "injustice" the use of the public parks, "miggers and freight only" on the same elevator, segregates corpses on the basis of color in the public burial grounds, and perform other tricks, all more or less engaging. But let us return to the outlawed section of the street. So you see that there is apparently a well organized plan to force the colored man over there into that hut he calls home and then outlaw him because he lives there. Now there are seasons to stay there. Now there are seasons to stay reasons, for making human beings stay in certain places. Criminals, insane persons, smallpox patients—these are with reason segregated A CREDIT TO MY RACE BY ROBERT PARIS EDWARDS (By The Associated Negro Press) I care not whether books of fame Doth lain you in? I go notek gaint gatsby of life. Ig, which I might aim. But greater than the golden path, Where fame gives all a place, I have no desire to be. A credit to my Race. I sing, not that the some may die Not that no language leaves, I speak not that no their mission unleashed. When my words help my fellowness And my songs find a place In his and heart, then I will be A credit to my Race. Would that my pen, as Moses said, Could lead men unto God. Would songs inspire the hearts, Of every one that plop, Ol could I in the sands of time, My food-prints have a trace, Poorly printed, but better to A credit to my Race. Some day my soul must take its paw Unto the God that paw. Some day this humble frame of mind Will rest in a humane place. Then may fellowship enchance To view its rising place. Shed just a tear and say, "He A Credit to his Race." and kept so. But the people who live in this "unwanted" section of Champion avenue are as a group neither criminals, insane nor diseased. Their chief offense is that from humanity's grand primordial shuffle they emerged with black skins. Nevertheless, they are practically kept there. And not only are they kept there, but their neighbors north and south change the name of the street so that no possible chance will their place of residence be associated with that of those they keep thus hedged in. And if you ask, these keepers these the same thing about "colored" cr ngers with grunts of contempt, and that is just about all the light you get. For after all there isn't any reasoning in that name changing. The impulse to make the change is motivated by an absurdity so staging that the most astute apseo analysis will forever be baffled for an explanation that will really explain. Stigmatize a group who happen to live in a certain portion of the street where you live so that no faintest odor of the stigma will attach to you. Then move heaven and hell to prevent the group from leaving that portion of the street where they live. The reason for it? Echo answers. Johnstown's Shame From the Harrisburgh (Pn.) Telegram If Mayor Joseph Caufiel can't keep order in Johnstown, he and not thousands of innocent and unoffending residents should be ordered out. Caufiel's demand that all Negroes of less than seven years residence in Johnstown leave that place in as illegal as it is unjust. Caufiel as the German commander of the captured French city or the chief of the progress of Georgia town to get away with an order like that but it doesn't go in Pennsylvania. Caufiel's excuse is that some weeks ago a Negro shot three Johnstown policemen and was himself killed. Therefore thinks Caufiel, all Negroes are vile. But how about the occasional white man who shoots an officer? Are all white men to be run out of town because one is a secondrel? Caufield's asinine order to Johns town's saloonkeeper to pay no attention to the Prohibition laws but sell all the beer they desired will be recalled. If he paid more attention to the enforcement of law devoted less time to giving the mayor a chance to him a bad name among its neighbors probably there would be less disorder in Johnstown. As one who has no respect for the Constitution wouldn't it be proper for somebody to order the mayor him to beat it up in his apartment "the breakers" concerning whose presence he so childishly rants.
