Miller, pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. Church delivered an elegant and masterly Emancipation Day address at St. John's A. M. E. Church Tuesday night. Dr. Miller's address was impact with lines of racial progress from the day of emancipation to the present. The speech was lightly illuminating and diverted dramatically. The speaker said in part: "We have met to exchange congratulations on the anniversary of an event civilization in the life of this great civilization. The highlight of the reception and reckoning of the clear light of that which must us better than a deck of birds and herd of beasts, a day which gave the immense fortification of a lot in gross history rather than glorious distractions.

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 1, 1821. In celebration of the Unification Proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln, a Mass Meeting of colonel and white citizens of Philadelphia was held at the Academy of Music or Broad Street tonight, January 1st, 1821, under the auspices of the Citizens' Committee of Allied Organizations. During the past five or six years some speaker of national prominence has been invited to deliver this particular address to the Allied Citizens' Organization. The address was delivered by Dr. Emmanuel Scott, secretary-Treasurer of Howell University, Washington, I.D., who served during the World Conflict as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, advising in matters affecting colored troops and civilians. In part, Doctor Scott said, "it is with profound satisfaction that I find myself here in Philadelphia tonight. I am deeply grateful for the invitation which brings me here, and for the coral reception you have accorded me. It is impossible to come to this City of Breathless Love, to this great Commonwealth, without having one blood stirred by patriotic associations and historical recollections. "Within a stone's throw of where I stand eternal principles of justice and freedom were enunciated by patriots and statesmen who signed the Declaration of Independence, and framed the Constitution of the United States of America." "It is to the glory of Pennsylvania that on a great battlefield of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln stirred the hearts of the people of the Republic, when his gravestone in sentiments so dazzled so magnificent." REV. D. L. MILLER perity. We should rejoice greatly on this anniversary occasion for this incidental day, and the historical years of the past, which are pregnant with profitable reminiscences that fill us with felicity and fire our souls with aspiration. "When we think of this eventful day with its significant, grave and jubilant reminiscences, it would suggest to us that thousands of the Emancipated sons of freedom would be ready to speak on this day. If the Negro race, as a whole, understood the import of this anniversary day, the dull would become elequent; the stupid would be on the alert; and the thought (Continued on Page Three) "It is then under the strong law of justice of political condition that we are here is sworn on this 11th day of the New Year to recall the memory of Abraham Lincoln and to celebrate that new Magna Charia of Liberty, the Emancipation Proclamation, which he proclaimed and cast into the balances for the preservation of the Union, Patriotism and gratitude till our hearts. Here, the place, the day, and the occasion are happily and appropriately united. We would not dwell on the long, dreary past. Its story of horror, of sorrow, of suffering, of injustice, of barbarism, is known to all of us, for it has come to us through the mournful somes and the terrible recollections of our mothers and the Slavage, the 'covenant with hell' came to an end until the wealth pile of the bourne's two bounties and fifty years of unrested toil' had been sank, and 'every滴 of blood drawn with the Rash had been paid for by another drawn by the sword' that the words of the Scriptures, as Lincoln said, might be home out: 'The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.' "Freedom came, and with it the responsibilities of a new-found citizenship. First of all in every part of the country, members of the race, as by some mystic understanding as between themselves took up the birds and the privileges of Freedom in determination to justify the faith of Abraham Lincoln and the Union armies which had prevailed against the so-called armies seeking the downfall. Republic and the perpetuation of slavery. This is not the place, and this is not the occasion for a recital of wearisome statistical data indicating our progress as free men and free women. It need only be said that we have justified the faith of Lincoln and the patriots whose agitation logic and moral power made the pronunciation Proclamation an inevitable result of the Civil War.

In Emancipation Day Address. Declares Justice In Virginia Is Expanding to Include the Colored People. Franklin, Va.-Greeted by an immense crowd at Cool Spring Baptist Church, Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, Virginia, brought a cheering message on Emancipation Day to those who were fortunate enough to hear him. Among other things, the speaker said that on the first of January for the last twenty-five years he had been privileged to speak somewhere in the South on occasions similar to the one that brought him to Franklin, and that during all of that time, he had never spoken under more favorable prospects for the future of the Negro people than this year of grace, 1924. The speaker reviewed at some length the progress of the Negro people, calling particular attention to the great reduction in the percentage of illiteracy among them, and cited figures showing what tremendous progress they have made in the acquisition of property since Emancipation. He spoke of the great progress the Negro people made but did not fail to point out many of the shortcomings that still affect a large mass of the Negro people. Among the many, things for which the Negro should rejoice on this Emancipation Day, he declared, was the fact that there is a steady decrease in mob violence and lynch law throughout the country, showing not only that the Negro himself is giving less occasion to provoke this assault upon the majesty of the law, but that there is also a growing public opinion against all forms of lawlessness, whether committed by the individual or the mob. Council Deal, More Justly He spoke particularly of the counts of murder, saying that while there were man-made prejudice manifested in the murder and the negro's objection to the law, there was no objection to the SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 HE CIPATION Betton Born Vegetable Kingdom varied products, from the peanut over 147 products and from the peanut 78 products, each having a high commercial value.

At this point, the speaker called attention to several cases coming before the Supreme Court of the State of Virginia in which Negro men had been given decisions where the interests of white men were involved, and he declared that it was really encouraging to the young Negro of character and worth to know that his rights will be protected whenever he is properly before our higher tribunals, having this complaint on the government of Virginia, he said that the Old Dominion has been known throughout its history, with rare exceptions, for the broad-mindedness and big-heartedness of the governors, and that the present governor of the State is as fine an example of a God-fearing executives is to be found anywhere in the country. He spoke of one case in particular that had come under his observation where a Negro had been condemned to death for an assault upon a woman. The governor went into this case with great care, and although the time had passed for a review of it by the Supreme Court, he nevertheless submitted the matter to members of the Supreme Court, and finally commuted death penalty to life imprisonment. These evidences, he said, of his will, as shown by those in authority in the State, should lead us hope that race relationship should grow better and better until Negro shall come into all rights and privileges to whom entitled as a citizen.

JANUARY 5, 1924 Making Success of Flower Culture MY SUCCESS AS A FLORIST About three years ago, I garted in the flower business. When I presented my plans as a florist I was greatly discouraged. All my friends said you can't sell flowers here. So many had entered this business and failed (all white). I answered. I am going to teach the people here to buy flowers. I was based on a small scale just to see how the business was going to take. How I Got Sales As soon as I got started and had a fine line of flowers, I began to advertise in the newspaper here. A little later I had a phone placed in the home and also placed advertisement in the home directory. This gave me wide publicity; and calls began to come in throughout the country districts as well as the towns. I could not fill my orders with the stock I was carrying, so I procured a full line of all season flowers, such as sweet peas, hyacinths, gladiolus, chrysanthemums, dahlias, aster roses, carnations and a variety of potted plants. I received calls from far and near and still found that the demand was greater than the stock I could grow without more space and help, secured more space, but learned that I couldn't very well progress with the outdoor growing alone as the demand was the same in winter, as in summer. I had a small hot house built which was used with success the first winter, and yet I did not have enough room. Last July I had a larger 'house built, with all glass 'enclosure, and the sales from it are still growing and the talk of my customers is "more room and more flowers." The work has grown wonderfully, not only in this town but in adjoining towns such as Hartsville, Society Hill, Lamar and Florence. Our flowers are mailed to all northern cities as well as the south. We have regular customers in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Richmond, Charleston, Columbia, Wilmington, N. C., and a large number of other towns and cities. All agree that my flowers measure up to any others of their kind. Reprint Periodicals Since I could not leave my home to pursue a special course in Horticulture, and knowing I needed some special training in the work, got a touch with the "Flower Garden" published in Calcium, N. Y. a fine monthly journal, and the "Florist Review," published in Chicago, a weekly journal. Each has been a great help to me and I don't see how I could do without them. Through them I am in touch with all flower growers and keep posted on the latest prices and on how to cultivate certain flowers with success. I want to thank all who have given their most loyal support and especially the white friends, who have really made the work and given it their support, not only in patronage but thus their encouragement. One writer has said, Give useful presents, of course, but also give flowers. If you cannot give expensive ones, give cheap ones. There are all kinds. The florist whose beautiful shop pass is to the soul of man and woman what the restaurant keeper to the stomach. And the feeding the soul is as important as any other kind of feeding. Many letters come to us daily, thanking us upon receipt of floral designs and cut flowers. Judge Dennis of this town recently remarked upon receipt of flowers from us," want to compliment you on the flowers, they come up to those of any other florist," and we will all give you our regular support. As the work grows I find that more room is needed, so a few days ago I purchased four large lots to have more room for greenhouses and outdoor growing. THE ELIZABETH CITY, N. C. STATE NORMAL ALUMNI OF NORBEGUY VA. This goes to show the ever-growing consciousness of the members of the S. N. S. Alumni. After the routine of business, the vice President, Mrs. Allen opened the discussion on the life an works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, with some very timely and helpful thoughts, which led almost every member present heartily into the discussion. All of us now know something of Paul L. Dunbar's life and works that we never heard of before. At our next meeting the life and works of "Freddick Doughlass will be fully discussed. This discussion promises to be of more interest than the preceding one. After the discussion we were delightfully entertained with music by Atty, Wilson, and the hostess Mrs. Allen, served to our taste a dainty represt of cake, jelly and punch, which was without saying enjoyed by all.

A Merry Amas and Happy New Year to 9 is the wish of the Association. Conference Of Coored High School Heads (Continued from Page One) Purpose of Education." He stressed the fact that education is a dynamic process and not something which is static. For that reason the idealand purposes of education mustchange with the evolution of society. Dr. W. Sanger addressed the conference on the subject, "The Socialization of the Individual." It was an ab discourse. Music or the session was furnished by the Glee Club of the Institute under the direction of Mr. Luther Jackson. President Gandy pided. Petersberg was named as the permanent place of meeting and the temporary officers were elected: L. F. Palmer, Newport News, president; M. Lucy Addison, Roanoke, vicepresident; E. F. Buford, Bristol, tassurer; C. W. Florence, Petersburg secretary. We Have Answered The Query (Continued from Page One) less and freeless enthusiastic. "I want to use the third verse in Ezekiel's vision, figuratively applied to the Negroes since they have been in America, and especially sing his Emancipation, and through every step of progress he has madantil today. "The verse reads, "And he said unto me, son of man can these bones live!" And Tanswered, "O Lord God Thou knowest." "This verse is very descriptive of what the people of this country said of the Negro when he was set free. The said, 'Can the Negro we may mutually, materially, socially, financially, physically, morally, and spiritually? Can he live the business world and in the professional world? Can he live the conflicts? Can he stay in the arena of life, with its agitative and combative conditions? I answer for him to date; in all the past, he has survived every conflict and still marches on to victory." "This same query has followed the Negro thrue all the stages of progress made by him in this country. Every step that he has made prospective spectators have been asking, "Can he make it?" "Will he prove himself equal to the emergency?" "Will he survive the conflict?" "Can he adjust himself to conditions?" "Can he live?" "The query will not down. The query is still following us as we make progress and fit into civilization. This question is being asked as the Negro takes his place in the business world, and takes his place in the professional world, and as he fits into the economic world. The Negro is leaving the South and going north, and the question is still, "Can he live and adapt himself to these new condition?" As the economic world throws open her doors and gives the Negro free admittance, "Will he be a successful competitor?" "I am answering for him in the affirmative. He will be able successfully, to show himself adaptable to the warp and woof of civilization. For sixty years the Negro race has demonstrated to friend and like that he is a man with possibilities and capabilities like other men to stem the tide. "The government was now trembling under its burden of iniquity, writhing in the hated agitation of the forward march of Christianity, contending for truth, justice, and freedom. Prayers were ascending to God; songs mounted on high unceasingly. The time and purpose of God were fully ripe when right should prevail over wrong. "Within human life two impulses press forward to control the affairs of men. One is self-asserting, self-centered, and dominating, considering only gain in wealth and power. The other is self-denying, seeking justice and mercy, ever ready to consider the interest of the other fellow, the other group, or the other race. The humanitarian and religious impulses of conscience have always had to struggle with those of economic cravings, and the selfish desire to marshall might against right. Thomas Jefferson, the great Virginian, commenting on slavery said, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice can not sleep forever." "God's chosen vessel for the e-mergency, the Moses who was to lead the "Old Ship of State" across "I would call attention to the new spirit which has gripped the hearts and souls of black men as well as white men. We are thinking in terms of life, love, and liberty. The Negro was called to the colors like other men. He fought like other men. He died like other men. He feels the urge of manhood like other men. He feels that if his country in its hour of trial and peril compels him to fight its battles, it should in time of peace, secure to him complete protection of life and liberty. He feels that he should enjoy the same civil and political rights without distinction that other men of the Republic enjoy. Above and beyond Constitutional guarantees, he feels that the enlightened conscience of the country should help him to perfect himself in the perfect realization of an untrammeled citizenship. He knows, and he wants all men to know that he knows, that in far too many instances justice to him has been prostituted by unfair and unwarranted discrimination. These national misdeeds have set him wondering if that warm love he has borne for State and Nation has gone for naught. He loves to love, but so human is that he even dares expect in return, not merely cold forbidding justice, but justice with a heart in it, justice with a soul in it. The Negro is not vindicative. He is not embittered. He still has faith in his God, in his Church, in himself, to overcome the wrongs of unthinking men. We look to the future confident and unafraid. Petty prejudices amy and inconvenience but do not discourage a virile people. "I am not despondent over the outlook. The situation is serious but not desperate. A healthy sentiment in favor of fair play is growing up on many sides. Wise and courageous leaders of both races are now contending that the first and biggest task of democracy is to keep her own house in order. It is vain to talk ideals unless we --- --- LAST CALL!

National political upheaval came; secession followed; a four years reconstructive war broke out, a mighty struggle for truth, justice, righteousness and freedom. On January 1, 1863, the decisive hour came, and Abraham Lincoln, unhesitatingly with one stroke of his pen liberated four million slaves—the dusky sons of Ham. "Eventful day; mighty day; a day to be perpetuated; a day that marks an epoch in the beginning of the history of a great race. Rejoice with us, for we were lost; but now we are found; blind but now we see, lame, but now we stand up, dead but now we are alive forevermore. The mighty battle was fought, the glorious, redemptive victory was achieved for the sable sons of Ham. "Now that we are free men and women, an envious, jealous, malicious, and conjecturing environment surround us, asking the question, "Can these bones live? Can they live mentally, materially, morall, and spiritually?" The quesists also said, "The Negroes have been turned loose in the prospective pastures of leisure, lounging and unrestraint, and the government will soon have to plan and provide for them, for they cannot feed and cloth and shelter themselves." "CAN THEY LIVE?" I see a mighty army of the sons and daughters of Ham answering by a standing vote, not only from the South, but from the North, East and West, approximately twelve million, numerically, instead of four million sixty years ago. They lift up a concourse of twelve million voices, saying, "We are they that were dead, but so behold, we are alive, and we are when every possible and conceivable agency was trying to exterminate us. We have lived and done what we have done against all odds and ends that could be brought to bear to keep us from living and doing. We have lived anyhow; survived every conflict and triumph over every assault." "Interracial peace must come through interracial contact by ideals of justice, of law and order, of American freedom of speech, press, and representation; of courtesy, of the obligation of the strong mind; of the respect for all personality and of commitment co-operation on the basis of the brotherhood of mankind comprise the goal."

Doctor Scott, discussed in detail the war aims of the American government during the World War and some of the problems of race readjustment which have arisen during the period of reconstruction. In this connection, he said: Rev. J. Arthur Young, Pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church, Weds Miss Mabel C. Bourne. Rev. J. Arthur Young, pastor of St. John's A. M. E.

"We use all manner of vague phrases to express our sense of divine leading. Here is a litter batch of them! 'I had a feeling! I could not get away from it! I could not sit it out of my mind! I felt I must!' There is nothing very definite and illuminating about this speech, and yet it all suggests the compulsion of a divine 12 imperative. Sometimes the divine will is made known to us in some new and strange assortment of our circumstances; and unexpected door opens, and every other door seems to close, and there is only one way before us. We can talk to men without the ministry of actual speech. If I come upon a blind man at a corner who wishes to cross the street, I do not guide him with counsel, I speak to him with a grip. I lay my hand upon it is shoulder and speak to him in the language of dumb constraint, not this the meeting of that treat phrase in the book of Isaiah, the Lord said unto me with a strong hand. Isaiah felt the dumb trip of the Almighty, and he felt we must go. Some similar imperative laid hold of the soul of Abraham, and he felt he had got to save the homeland."—Dr. Jowett. Abraham was demanded by God to sever every human tie, quit untry, kindreds, and parents, and to speak, take a leap in the ark. Go to a strange unknown end. "All great leaders of mankind we have been willing to seek unknown minds, to traverse uncharted seas, trust their future, step by step, their invisible Guide. So it could be with us in every detail our life's journey. To one who ves God it is inefably sweet thus receive from constant surprises ing the way." As the result of Abraham's obience—God promised to make Patruch a great nation, a great blessing, and through him bless all maqid. II. The Migration of Abraham Canaan—Gen. 12:1:7. "I'll go where you want me to, go, dear Lord, Over mountain and valley and sea; Sea; I'll say what you want me to say, dear Lord, I'll be what you want me to be."—Mary Brown. So Abram went as God had bid him to. But he did not go me; he took with him his nephew, tt; and Abram's wife, and all the stance which he had gathered at ran and the souls he had gotten we went along with him to the of Camam to which he journey- And he built an alter unto 1 who appeared unto Abraham I pledged to give the land to the riach's seed. Abraham left many things bead, but he took his religion with it. Now the danger in going into a strange life does not to do with geography. It is that a man is in danger in different land. It is that he is in danger of becoming a different A. Good deal which we can a part of our deepest life is the reflection of our surround when we change on, surround is startling and disconcert to watch the change in ours. We can be stronger than invading, strange environment we build an alter to God wherever the sun rises in the morning wherever the sun sets at night." ugh. II. Abraham, A Friend of God, 18:17-19.

Home authority and one example are expressed in the words, 'He will command his children and his household after him.'

Rountree's FACTORY TO YOU 424 Granby Street—Opp. Granby Theatre Next Door to Hicks Gas Appliance Store Inter-Church Idea Discussed Christendom Not Prepared For Move, And Christian Capitalists Swat It. New York, Dec.—Because Christendom is not yet prepared to practice what it preaches, the Interchurch World Movement of North America, which was formed in 1920, "to forward as far as possible a cooperative action between the churches and denominations of the country," admitted failure yesterday after three years of activity and in a position filed in the Supreme Court by a majority of the directors asked permission to dissolve. The petition after setting forth the purposes for which the Interchurch World Movement was formed, explains, "it was discovered by the Board of Directors and officers of the cooperation that the aforementioned objects could not be accomplished in the particular manner undertaken by the cooperation." The outstanding accomplishment of the movement was its report on the steel strike, wherein it favored the strikers. As a result of this report, the capitalists tabooed the movement.

East At First Baptist Church Rev. Dr. James E. East, Secretary of the National Baptist Foreign Mission Board, preached an appealing sermon at the First Baptist Church, from the subject, "The Great Commission." The speaker made a forceful impression upon the congregation when he told how the people as a group were not living up to their opportunities in the reopening of the heathens. Sunday night a farewell meeting in honor of Miss Viola Carter, a young woman member of the church, who was recently commissioned to the foreign fields was held. Mrs. Mamie E. Gordon, president of the Missionary Society of the First Baptist Church, the band of noble women who had made it possible for Miss Carter's intensive training for the work in Nyack, N.Y., presided.

Crusader Service "New Yory.—Kindled into indignation by what they believe is an effort preparatory to "cleansing" the Episcopal Church of its modernist ministers, a group of liberal clergymen in Boston and New York announced plans yesterday for a counter attack so vigorous that, it is predicted, it may overshadow any controversy of ecclesiastical history. They find their inspiration in charges of heresy brought against Rev. Lee W. Heaton, rector of Trinity Church, Fort Worth, Texas, on the ground that he declared from his pulpit that belief in the doctrine of virgin birth is not an essential of the Christian faith. DR. PARKS DENOUNCES PASTORAL LETTER Dr. Leighton Parks, ordained an Episcopal minister in 1878, and for the last two decades rector of St. Bartholomew's, one of the richest and most conservative churches in New York, made a passionate rejection of the Pastoral Letter of the House of Bishops recently drafted at Dallas, Tex., and declared his own teachings for half a century have been contrary to the doctrines set forth in this, and challenged Bishop Manning to bring charges against him. In this sermon of Dr. Park's modernits ministers of the Episcopal Church and influential laymen from one end of the country to the other hear the alarm that will rouse them to a defiant fight to to maintain their right to continue in the church. ATTACK VIRGIN BIRTH Dr. Parks discussed the Virgin Birth in his sermon, saying, "when the Bishops appeal to the Nicene creed as proof that this was an historic fact, they don't know what they are talking about. There is no mention of the virgin birth in that, or in the two preceding creeds. In the early Jewish-Christian church marriage was thought an honorable institution. But the later church put virginity as higher than the marriage state. Then was the doctrine of the virgin birth proclaimed. To say that it was dreamed of by the founders of the church is like saying that the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Eighteenth Amendments to our Constitution were in the minds of Hamilton, Jefferson, Madison and their fellows." Citing scriptural authority for the belief that Christ was not born of a virgin, Dr. Parks said again: "Are they all to be called dishonest men that have warrant in the Bible for their belief?" DR. GRANT COMMENTS ON ISSUE The Rev Peregy Stickney Grant, in the Church of Ascension, also brushed aside the PASTORAL LETTER as of no authority. Dr. Grant quoted a sentence from the letter; "We are aware of the wide-pread distress and disturbance of mind among many earnest church people" and commented: "I interpret it as the distress of a great many people who were given things to believe when they were young that they cannot believe when they are old—in fact, these very items of the creed mentioned in the letter." DR. GUTINE CLAIMS FIGHT WON Dr. William Norman Guthrie, receiv of St. Mark's in the Boulevard, yesterday entered the controversy with the remark that the battle is already won. "In point of fact the battle is already won. The intellectuals have definitely ranged themselves on the side of the liberals. It only remains now to educate the masses. In the last 2,600 years the people have, unconciously to themselves, changed their views in the most extraordinary manner on the most vital questions of Christianity. There have been six different Christian religions since the birth of Christ. But all the time they have used the same words to cover different conceptions.

For before a restriction was put upon immigration, which once made it possible for capital of the North, East and West to employ foreign labor at rather small wages, it was the belief of a great many people that the Negro was shiftless, unreliable and unsteady as a laborer; but now that there is a restriction upon immigration, the Negro has gone into fields that had been closed to him, and is now demonstrating by his labor, that he is not only a good worker, but is a good American citizen, loyal to his country in the time of peace, and ready to die for her when the trumpet calls to arms.

E. oolens We offer At ompany NORFOLK, VA. --- Lincoln University, Pa. — The Lincoln, Varsity quintet made its first appearance of the 1923 season just before the holidays in Steeltown before the aggregation of tried an aggregation of four players in a game gave, Coach Young, his first opportunity to glimpse at his new machine in real action. Altho he has not yet worked out the fastest combination possible, he is well satisfied with the performance of his men in their initial game and thinks they will quickly assimilate themselves and perfect the cohesive plays in one or two more contests and after a thorough schooling in the modern province of the game. Coach Young's elastic policy of giving all his new material a chance was the main reason for the small score registered by Lincoln. In the first half of the game with Steeltown, the team's city toppers forged in front of their adversaries by a rapid clin, piling up a score 17-7. Then in the second half numerous substitution paved the way for the Steeltown passers to chalk up four double-deckers and a pair of one pointers. The gloom that hung over the camp so imminently due to the graduation of two of Lincoln stars: "Eggie" Thompson and "Boon" Hames, disappeared when Bill Taylor, the girdiron flash, and "Rip" Day, who is considered the best of the season, emerged from the background to display their skill. Both are men of sterling qualities and are well adapted to modern methods of the play. Their speed and scoring power are phenomenal and undoubtedly they will dominate the game. The old timers are showing some real class also. Capt. Woods dubbed Capt. Massey is virtually the muscle of the quintet. His uncanny preception and his art of ginking 'em both from the floor and the foul mark has won for him the distinction of being the best basketball player in the big time form. "Wildcat" Triggs "Snooks" Hames and Pollitt are doing faultless work. With this formidable trio thoroughly seasoned and Baker trailing as a dependable substitute, Lincoln should produce a great basketball team. The schedule arranged thus far by Manager Pope, though not complete, shows plenty of light and a rough voyage for the Lincolnites. They will have to bustle in order to come home on time. Since there is a growing interest in the athletic events in Norfolk as evidenced in the crowd the basket ball team may make an appearance at the Phyllis Wheatley Garden. In the future if the citizens of Norfolk will support and boast these contests, at least of Lincoln's athletic events will be staged in the city. Besides giving the city plenty of advertisement these affairs are assets socially and financially. Throw Down Mixed Bout Bar (By the Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa.—At a special meeting last Tuesday of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission, it was decided to rescind the recently widely heralded ban on called mixea bouts between colorado and white boxers in Pennsylvania. The change in front came after a rigorous protest made by Charles Roeap, the commissioner, in which he charged that the ruling had been made by Chairman Roeap, without consulting the other members of the board and that such a plan was illegal. In order that the chairman might retire from his position without too much embarrassment it was decided at the meeting Tuesday to telegraph the Attorney General Woodruff for an opinion its to the legality of Mr. Roeap's ruling. The commission then the commission while the meeting was in session with the result that the body issued the following statement: "At the request of the Attorney General Woodruff the Commission decided to suspend its ruling temporarily regarding mixed bouts until the Department of Justice shall discuss the ruling in all its phases. Attorney General Woodruff will meet the members of the Commission within the next ten days, when all the legal angles of the controversy will be thoroughly discussed and clarified. Wills To Go On Big Winter Campaign PRESTON NEWS SERVICE New York, Jan. 2—Ambition to become the next one in the ring with Jack Dempsey, present heavyweight champion, has stirred the field of contenders into unexpected activity. And foremost among these is Harry Wills, the "Brown Panther of New Orleans," everywhere recognized as the most studded crown now being worn by the Utah umpire, Paddy Mullins, the gray-haired manager of the giant challenger, says that he and Wills have been fed up on promises, that they can't get action, and now must force it. Wills in Be Raisy Wills has been scheduled to meet Jack Taylor in Hartford, Conn., sometime in January, and this bout recording to Mullins, is the starter for a stiff winter school, the Taylor, the pugilist who skipped Battling Ski alpine, the ring in Philadelphia Christmas afternoon. Mullins declared that he has enough prospects to keep Wills googling all winter outside of New York. and that by the time the outdoor season comes, Will will have established such a claim that Dempsey can't fight anyone else. Mullins, however, still insists that he and Wills will not work for Tex Rickard, although he has gone in close consultation with Rickard several times lately. No Wills-Firpo Fight Firpo, according to the way things shape up from this end, has one more big fight coming—and that is with Dempsey. Because the project is one of those form-fitting made-to-measure balky coaffairs. Allowing the South American to frolic with Wills would be nothing less than suicid. Those close to the inside in the fight game have already conceded this point. In fact, they claim that Firpo would stand little or no chance with Tommy Gibbons, who went the entire distance with Dempsey at the Shobly, Morh. fight. Siki Jeered At; Taylor Wins In Philly Ring PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 2—Joeered and hosted by a crowd of more than 4,000 fight fans, who packed the Adelphin Arena here半夜 afternoon. Battling Siki fell from grape in the estimation of many of his admirers, when he deliberately "plagged it" and lost to Jack Tyler of the thrash in a mountain狱 that very little resembled a fight Siki, who made a reputation by his sensational knock-out of Geo Carpenter in France failed even to show that courance had made him a real attraction in New York, even though he was decisively exhibited by Kid Nettle. In that bout, Siki, feeling that his reputation in this country was at stake, fought Norfolk from Fellin to post, figuratively hitting Hir. He then brugged New Yorker, and even in defeat, he was a popular lover. In that fight, Nofkoff showed superhuman courage. But in his boat with Taylor, Siki really wounded the joes and legs of the crew. He used questionable tactics, an utter utter lack of skill or bravery, united whatever other requisites for nonloyalty he might have shown. The judges' decision, giving the bout to Taylor, was a popular one. Sell Hall's All-Star Team Seeks Honors PRESTON NEWS SERVICE PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 3—Playing before a small but interesting enthusiastic crowd, Stall's Hall's All Star floor live, launched into their campaign to win the lightweight floor title of the country, Stall's week, when they defeated the Saratoga live, 32-22 in a well-played game. The Saratogas were leading the lightweight division prior to their game of last week, by reason of their victory over the Y, M, C. A., who had defeated the N. S. Sebolastics, who in turn had trimmed over the fast Beaver Fail Club. MIXED BOUTS BANNED (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa. Dec.—The boxing commission of this state has issued an official ruling against boxing matches between white and colored fighters, holding that "it is not deemed prudent nor for the best interest of the sport at this time to have Negroes and whites meet in the ring combat." Fred White ex-University of Pennsylvania star was recently placed on the commission at $5,000 a year by Governor Pinchot. White is colored. It is not known what his attitude is in regard to the ruling. The announcement was made by William H. Recap, former reference and head of the commission. This Jim Crow announcement follows short of the Johnson's denial of the冠军 John's corner heavyweight champion muddler, of a license to box in the State of Pennsylvania, the commission declaring that he is too old and offering him a trainer, the license to train that young boxers might learn something of Johnson's skill in the ring. It is expected that prominent race leaders in the state will strongly protest the stand of the commission. When Mr. White was appointed to the commission one of the leading papers of the state advised the governor that such an appointment would be a race that was entitled to full manhood recognition. The governor is now in a position to be called to account for what is termed the un-American action of his com- AMOS HOKUM---His Friend Is Out of Luck NEW YEAR BRINGS ACTIVITY TO THE POLITICAL REALM NEW YEAR BRINGS ACTIVITY TO THE POLITICAL REALM Race Republicans Insist Upon Having Delegates-at-Large At Convention — Masons Appoint Delegates to Negra Sanhedrin.

IT'S CITTIN' TO THE PLACE JIM WHERE A MARRIED MAN AIN'T GOT NO PROTECTION A TALL!! THEM'S MY SENTIMENTS, AMOS! with a rush. Practical reaction on the results of the Republican National Committee meeting here set in with the naming of Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, N. J., as one of the delegates at large to the Republican National Convention to be held in Cleveland in June. Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Newark, is to be an alternate-at-large. The naming of Dr. Cannon, who represents a definite political element of New Jersey, has created a local political stir, but it proves conclusively that Republican leaders are taking the subject of political co-operation very seriously. In this connection it is interesting to know that Republicans of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as Kentucky, Virginia, and Missouri and Maryland, are insisting on having a colored delegate at large to the convention. The white leaders of these states are considering the subject as seriously as New Jersey. In 1920 Dr. J. R. A. Crossland was a delegate at-large from Missouri. Illinois had a district delegate. Voters of Illinois now wish both a district delegate and a delegate at-large. Ohio has not had a real delegate at-large since the early seventies. There has always been an honorary alternate-at-large, but the Ohioans are saying they want representation that counts. There are a number of candidates for the place, and as there is a primary, by combining forces, there will be one elected.

Delegates, representing every organized group within the race are expected to be present. One of the significant and interesting developments of the program for the conference is the interest manifested by the secret organizations of the country, including the Masons, known for their conservative procedure.

Recognizing for some time the organization of organizing into a recognized musical body affiliated with and enjoying the protection afforded by the American Federation of Musicians, the colored musicians of the city, under the leadership of Prof. Clyde D.

As there appears to have been no eye witness to the occurrence except a group of small boys, details of how it happened have not been learned in any coherent way. A number of the boys were roller skating on the street and hung on to the rear of the fast moving truck, it is said, although it is claimed by some of the boys who witnessed the accident on the truck. Just how the front wheels missed him while he was caught by the rear wheel has not been satisfactorily explained. After learning who owned the truck that injured his son, Mr. Woodard secured an automobile and went to the plant of Swift Packing Company to learn from its driver why he did not stop after running over the child. The driver informed him that he had machine had run over any one and positively declared that he did not know anything about having been in an accident. He says that he is certain that if his truck struck the child it was done from the rear and he was unable to see what had happened, by the terrified uneducated son, that crushed him. Physicians are of the opinion that his hips are fractured, but entertain hopes of saving his limbs. Lester is the only child of his parents, who are almost prostrated over his plight.

ST PAUL'S FIRST SEASON AS MEMBER OF C. I. A. A. The season of 1921 was St. Paul's first to participate in intercollegiate football as a member of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

The principal speakers were Archdeacon Russell and Rev. M. B. Birchett, '00. Several alumni were extended an invitation, but business prevented their being present. Fitting tributes were paid the outgoing and incoming captain and the squad by the speakers. Archdeacon Russell said in part: "Let your minds be saturated with high ideals and noble principles". Mr. Birchett reviewed St. Paul's athletic history. He spoke of the life of the boys, their hard fight and thrilling struggle. His address was strong and timely. "Red" Parker, All-American C. I. A. fullback, thanked his teammates for their loyalty, fight, support and teamwork, said among other things: "I shall do all in my power to merit the signal honor bestowed upon me here tonight. St. Paul will enter the arena next year with the C. I. A. A. football championship as its main objective; and I believe we shall emerge from our 1921 battles victoriously." THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME INDIANAPOLIS "A. B. C.'s" PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 3—William Dismuks, manager of the Indianapolis A. B. C'S. writing in The Pittsburgh Courier, gives a bit of baseball history which is well worth reprinting. The article has to do with the origin of the name A. B. C'S. Dismuks writes as follows: "I, as well as other players on the Indianapolis Club, am often confronted with the question as to why the Indianapolis club is called A. B. C.'s. "In the late ninies, a brewing company opened business at Indianapolis. To advertise the beer, the organizer colored their baseball club, in which those days was supposed to be able to play ball, and at the same time anuse the crowd by some funny sayings or entities. "This club was sent throughout the state of Indiana, and weaver scheduled to play, kegs of beer were sent and served to the people during the progress of the gheame, free of charge. The name of the company was "American Brewing Company." Taking the initials we have, A. B. C." which was their trade-mark. "After the beer was well advertized, the club was turned over to a colored saloon keeper, he retaining the name as a drawing card, as the club besides advertising the beer had made a great record as to games won and lost. "Very few players who have been members of the club know the true origin of the name. "It can be done!" Roland Hayes, accompanied by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, has sung away fifty years of prejudices, musically speaking. COLONIAL A. C. SCORES VICTORY Jersey City, N. J.—The Colonial A. C. played one of their best games on Christmas night at Col- ombia Hall, with the Walls of Elizabeth, N. J. The final score being 33-13 in favor of the Colonials. On a previous date the Owls had given the Colonials a good play and won, and this game was one of interest from the first toss up. Managers John W. Barnes and Elmer Palmer felt proud of the showing the boys made while Captain Carl Jones could hardly stand still. He was heard to say hey' hcy' more than twice. Good action was evident on both sides, and much enthusiasm reigned during the entire game. The lineup was: OWLS Thompson R. F. Seny Thompson L. F. Brown Jones C. Williams Taylor R. G. Lewis Newton L. G. Regor Other players who played the second half for the Colonials were Peas, Jackson, Stevens, Fowley, Jones and Thompson. More than 800 fans attended this game, as the spirit of Xmas was in the air, and as the preliminary game was played by the Mysterious Indians, Edwards, New York City, their final game 19-15 in favor of the Mysterious "5." Those Jersey Girls of "5" Metzie Seay, Agnes Poindex, Inbreder Davis, Thelma Miner and Hazel Cobb, in the big game Happy Brown and Dick Seay were at their best, and Williams jumped some Centre, yes of course Capt. Jones made one of his long ones. The music by Prof. Maron Smith was exceptionally good. We will soon announce the big game scheduled between Borderton Military Academy and Yale, the Owls will be played on January 14th at Turn Hill. John W. Barnes is promoter as assistant manager, taking a keen interest in the sports and is making good. Sports Comment By WILLEY A. JOHNSON THE AFTERMATH Colleges and Universities have finished their season in football and have turned their thoughts in other channels. Then again the season is just underway no not with the schools, but with the sport writers. These twisty slinger are just as hard at work as the numerous candidates were, that is in their respective lines. Each writer is busy commenting on the past gain season, compiling honor rolls and making A11-American selections. These writers are the history writers in such as the participants were the history makers. If the public at large did not like to be fed upon summaries of the season, sport writers would be out of luck. They have to do something to earn their pay and right after the football season they go wanting for material. This is the time of the year that all the scribes dread. This is also the time that they are forced to do their stuff and they do it to perfection. The few fans who witnessed the Shaw-Hampton basketball game at Phyllis Wheatley Garden_H were given a rare treat. Of course the crowd was small, but you must consider the fact that basketball in Norfolk is still a novelty. In view of this fact, the game was well attended. The local fans will have to get used to this branch of college sport. The more games we have, the better it is for increasing interest. This game will pay, but not until the interest has been raised to a certain pitch. This can be accomplished by having local quints to give fans the necessary basketball education, and when college fives come here the game can be appreciated. Norfolk fans will not pay the college price to see any college sport unless they are well versed in the technicalities of the game. OUR TEAMS By P. BERNARD YOUNG, Jr. They're worth just what we make them. They're worth working for, trying for, rooting for. They're worth our best support, not for one game, but for every game. They're composed of the students and representatives of the school-building of ideals and makes of the health expellers of timidness, and creates of "stick-to-itiveness." Better bodies, clearer minds, finer ideals, a higher standard in the rules of the game—these are some of our accomplishments of our athletic teams. Who will have the hardship to say they are not wort while or are not worth our best support? Our teams, with their good coaching, are educating boys and girls in the fundamentals of fair play and team work; creating in them a desire to adhere to the toast, "Win or Lose, but play on the square" They're justifying the appalation, "Maker of Men." And it is possible for the teams to do this because they are earnest, enthusiastic self-effacing coaches who see the winning of game; who are willing to use their time and talents to developing men for tomorrow who can say, "Win or Lose, but we play on the square." Plans are underway to have a local representative team. Teams are necessary. We must have competitors in order to compete. There is not the least doubt that Norfolk fans would support basketball. There is not a lull in the game, if and thrills from start to finish. There is not a lull in the gme, if so, it is not basketball. Every man is on his toes, ducking, dodging, squirming and shooting. On boys with the sport Buckle up fans and give your support. Booker T. Washington High school has been fostering a girl's team for quite awhile. Probably this is due to the efforts and ability of one of the faculty members, Miss Edna Prout who is an able athlete and has proven to be a great asset to the school, so far as the girls athletic activities are concerned; but since Owen A. Wilson former varsity football player of Lincoln has taken charge of the male side of the question, a boy's quint is promised. OUR CHURCHES IN SPORT Generally the things that churches are able to have a hard struggle for existence. Especially those things that are in the immediate vicinity of the churches, and those things that churches indorse and are highly in accord with receive the encouragement and moral support of them. Anything that is for the betterment of the community should work in harmony with every element in the community. Discord brings about friction; consequently forces working against forces go but never get any where. Churches the country over have finally realized sports' value and its bearing upon the growth of the younger people. Through sports children are taught the might power of, self control, self-confidence and discipline. Self itself has proved the value to the mental part of any being. Since numbers of churches of all denominations have assumed a broader view on athletics, the value to them has reached an appreciable height. Gymnasiums have been erected, and various teams organized under a capable leader. Our Sundial school going boys are of the male gender and are not the angels they are personified to be by some. They like athletics and would justify any efforts made by the church to give them the advantage of a wholesome recreation. Athletic sport is not the roughe-neck's game as it is pictured by some. In past days it was more or less the roughe-neck's game, but since gentlemen have entered the game it is a better name. A great number of successful athletes, their influence plays an important role in keeping the sport within the domains of cleanliness. In the many municipal tournaments held, church teams have captured high honors and their teams are highly respected as a good aggregation and a fine bunch of true sportsmen. It lies with our churches to do the same for the young men and women of our community, as other churches have done for theirs. Give them the same advantages, thus enabling them to be better fit spiritually, mentally and physically. PURPLE AND WHITE PURPLE AND WHITE It is generally conceded that the colors purple and white are a jinx to local teams. The Attucks Athletic Club was the first to have the 6-colors and the green eyed monster, better known as the jinx or jyx only older than the son of 1921. Of course they were victorious in some of their games, but they were in the minority. After this club winked, out next the Aeolian A. C. They changed the colors to white and purple, but it was purple and white right on. The same old jinx trailed their path. Out of ninety-one points piled up on them out of four games, they were only able to secure twelve against their opponents and these were not for a victory. The Aeolian A. C. was comprised of practically the same members that constituted the Attucks A. C., and were considered the pick of Norfolk football talent, they have local stars, but men who had played college football. This did not make matters any better. The next to adorn these colors was the Alumni team of Booker T. Washington High school. Zip bang! and the Alumni and purple and white tasted of the cup of defeat again. THE SEASON'S REVIEW We fans we have had a long season. Christmas marked the close in Norfolk. Of course Thanksgiving was the close of the season the country over, but why should we care what the rest of the country does, this is Norfolk, our dear Old Dominion city. As long as the weather is ideal and football is permissible, we should worry. Because it is cold farther north preventing football from being played longer, is no reason why the South should close its season on Turkey Day. This season was long and an intensive program was enjoyed by football lovers. Norfolk teams came out victorious. High School won four out of six games and N. A. C. won three out of six. Booker T. won from Royals, Armstrong (Richmond) C. Norcom, High School (Miami) and lost to Vince Strange (Washington), Union St. Hampton. Norfolk Athletic Club won from State Normal, Newport News Y. M. C. A., Portsmouth Y. M. C. A., and lost to Adelphia, Merrimae, Union All-Stars. N. A. C. broke even, but this does not mean they did not play football. Of course one victory registered against the locals is hard to comment upon and that is the game lost to the Merrimae Club. The game was played by N. A. C.'s "subs" and some men of other teams. This does not rub out the defeat. Those men went to Hampton representing Norfolk Athletic Club, consequently the defeat goes to Norfolk. Theletic Club. If the hard won the victory would have been claimed by N. A. C. So it is and so it was. To get even, the Merrimaes were scheduled to play a return game in Norfolk, but non-sportsmen that they were, trailed to put in their appearance. Let us thank old "Jim Piggy" who appears above with his usual stogie crammed in his face, for giving us football of merit. Since he took over the reins of Norfolk Athletic Club this season has been punctured with good games. Not only the first class opponents he secured for his club, but the Shaw-Lincoln game. Of course this game was not so good, but he was not responsible for Shaw's inability and poor showing. No doubt he was like the most of the fans, thought that Shaw would prove troublesome for the mighty Lions. WHO'S WHO Who's who for the N. A. C.? Some appear above and some do not. Robinson who is better known as "Snoutsy" was one of the local's most consistent ground gainers. Give it to Snoutsy—and when Snoutsy got it he was good for five to thirty-five and then some. "Ki" Jordan, the crashing half was also a menace to opposing lines. "Ki" could hit when others could not. His playing this year still ranks him with the good ones; and he looks good for some more years. "Frisco Pattie," christened Richard Whitehurst performed in old style form. Whitehurst was sub quarter, but he played like a regular. Captain Gay would have finished the season with honors, but he was not a master of self-control. Bad judgement and lack of cool headiness caused him to be given the raspberry more than once. As leader he was a failure, as a football player he was good at times. His kicking proved a valuable asset to the team. Try again Gay, keep your head for something else except your head harness. "Reggie" Jordan was late getting started, but when he started opposing guards and tackles had a job trying to stop him. Jordan fights from start to finish. His ripping and tearing tactics do not Start the New Year Right BUY YOUR Hosiery, Gloves, Silk Underwear and Umbrellas FROM H. D. KANTER Successor to Bluestein's Hosiery Shop 447 CHURCH ST.

He is equally as good on the defense—a sure and deadly tackler. Billups and. Williams on ends proved to be good. Of course Billips was the best. He registered the three points on Union. For high school; Cornicks, Cook, Boyd, Bridgeport, Smith and Diggs stood out as Booker T.'s best treats. For other things not mentioned look at the cartoon again. High school in her past years of athletic relations with Huntington high school of Newport News, was unable to defeat the shipbuilders, but this year Booker T. stemmed the tide of defeat and administered a sound licking to the visitors. For the first time, high school tasted victory and Huntington furnished it. This in itself was a marked addition to Booker Washington's achievements on the gridiron the past season. Some record for N. A. C.; she opened the season with victory and closed it with defeat. It is an honor to he beaten by Union, champions of the C. I. A. A., so Norfolk C. A. has nothing to feel bad over. The Merrimac game gives room for bad feeling. Not necessarily for the lost of the game, but more so for the unfairness. TWO-CITY BALL CLUB MAY BE FORMED IN PA. PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 3—An effort to merge the forces of Cleveland and Pittsburgh into the forming of a strong semi-pro baseball club is being planned in this city, according to a rumor gaining in force these days. The deal is being engineered by a well-known sports enthusiast, and if it succeeds, it will plan that week-day games will be played around Pittsburgh, while Sunday attractions will be taken over to the Ohio town. It is also planned to have a working agreement with the big leagues whereby league teams can be secured for big attractions. The gridiron classes make Morehouse, "Tigers," and the "Bulldogs" "have got many" been the classic of the Southern football world. The game, between the Tigers and Bulldogs was played in 1906, that time many a veteran has passed his day and passed on. However, they never look back to the Alma Mater, without pride and miration of their youthful struggles for supremacy on the grid iron. It might be interesting to see veterans and to friends of both the Tigers' and the Bulldogs know how the teams stand after having met in fifteen clashes.

Settle, of the Eighth precinct, after reprimanding a colored truckman who, the officer alleged, was blocking the path of his automobile at Fifth and P Streets, Northwest, in the struggle which followed, shot the colored truckman with a revolver which fell from the officer's pocket. In explanation, Policeman Settle says that he was driving with a Mrs. Collins when the colored man, in a truck, refused to permit him to pass. The officer, who was off duty at the time, got out of his machine and reprimanded the truckman for violating a traffic regulation. Officer Settle states that he considered the incident closed, but the truckman made an attack upon him, and after a violent struggle on the slippery street, Settle's gun dropped from his holster. In the struggle for its possession, the officer reached the coveted weapon first, and thereupon shot the colored man. This is Officer Settle's explanation, as given to the daily press. Inasmuch as Mrs. Collins, who was riding with the officer, fainted during the combat, there is apparently no other witness than Officer Settle, who sustained some minor injuries. The dead truckman was taken to the morgue. SATURDA PART TWO PAGES 9 TO 12 W. O. SAUNDERS WRITES INTERESTINGLY ON PHASE OF NEGRO LIFE IN SOUTH Disclaims That Southern Whites Have Natural Aversion To Colored Man-Thinks The Statement Does the South An Injustice. Glimpsed Along the Way From Collier's National Weekly I am a Southern white man, born and raised in an old-fashioned Southern country town where the population was about half black and half white. I have lived nearly all my life in the South and close to loved people. When I was a child I loved my "mole black children" and played with Negro children without prejudice. But I grew up to dislike Negroes generally, just as almost everybody in the South does, for no particular reason at all except that "a nigger is a nigger." I came to manhood with a Southerner's dislike and contempt for black folks. Once or twice I searched my heart and mind for some basis for like. At such times I satisfied myself by contemplation only the vicious, indoors, shitless, improvident, indoors, shitless, improvident, offensive type of Negro. I did not much thought to any other kind or recognize that a new type of Negro was growing up. And then, a few years ago, a song awoke me. It was more of a chant than a song; it was a new and strange song, the like of which I had never heard before: Boll weevil here, boll weevil there, boll weevil everywhere; Oh, Lord, lain't I glad! It was a Negro singing. He was a Georgia Negro, who, with a score or more of his kite, employed on road construction in North Carolina, which was one of the songs that he had brought from the farther Southland. That song haunted me. There was a note of genuine gladness, almost exultation, in the voice singing it, not unlike the note one hears between lines in the Old Testament songs of Jews triumphing over the downfall of their enemies. It seemed a song of emancipation. I tucked the words and the music away in my memory, because I pretend to be there somewhere. Nerges songs have meanings. One who lives among Negroes and studies them comes to know what is in their hearts and on their minds by the songs they sing. If a Negro hasn't an old song to fit his moods or thoughts of the moment, he improvises a new song as he works. He sings his hopes, his tears, his loves, and an anguish with his job and planning to quit the works on the morrow may suddenly start from a fit of sullen silence and sing as he swings his ax or his shovel: 'Use a quine to trabel, trabel And in the morning he will have traveled, and the overseer will have to hunt another laborer. And so, when I heard that black boy from Georgia singing his gladiation that the boll weevil was everywhere, I suspected that nothing less than a romance or a tragedy in Negro life had inspired those words. I have never heard them since, and Mr. Monroe N. Work, ALEX J. SMART AFTER CHRISTMAS WAIL How shocked was I, and too amazed, When along the street I walked, And into the shop window I chanced to gaze. Where my Christmas presents bought. Toys and furs and even the coat, The same as those I paid prices dear. Now writing for a figure that gets a grant. And I know I've been fleeced for fear. I started in to ask the clerk. If I were not due some rebate. Especially for that ten dollar skirt. That's now marked four ninety-eight. Shop early! shop early! was the merchant's cry. increments very. And the poor shop girls a rest. To them harkened and rushed in to buy. And paid those very high pries. Now I don't care how much they holler. Next year I'll buy after the rush. 'Cause today Iaint got a dollar. When I could have waited and had coin flush. Well, the holidays are over and we who have work to do, must be getting down to it in earnest. We will have to make hay throureat these 366 days to get the Christmas bills time to begin new ones the next Christmas. The Installment houses told us to 'buy now and pay next year.' We did, and every week throu- out the year we will get a pleasant (?) reminder of last Christmas. Norfolk Journal and Guide that wonderful Negro statistician a million facts about the colored people, can find no song like it in all his files. But I have found out for myself just what it meant. I have looked into the exodus of Negroes from the South for Collier's. I have traveled through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and parts of Louisiana and Tennessee in recent months. I have taken with Negroes at Alanta, Montserrat, Ovechs, Vicksburg, Memphis, and elsewhere. I went to Tuskegee Institute. I went into the only town in the United States that is popped solely by colored folks—the only town that has a Negro mayor, a Negro policeman, and a Negro postmaster. I talked with Negro farmhands, lawyers, preachers, editors, and business men in several Southern States. I rode in a railroad coach with Negro migrants leaving the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley via Memphis for Cincinnati and New York, where why a black boy from Georgia slinging hot asphalt in the broiling sun on a North Carolina highway back in 1917 was singing loudly; Boll weevil here, boll weevil there, boll weevil everywhere; Oh, Lord, ain't I glad! To millions of hungry and oppressed blacks laboring for a more substance on the cotton plantations of the South, the invasion of the Mexican boll weevil, laying waste the acres of the plantation owners, was nothing less than an act of Providence. To these blacks who read the Bible and believe every word of it, the plague of the boll weevil was but the hand of God laid heavily upon their taskmasters. WHO WILL PICK THE COTTON? The Negro in the towns and cities was almost exultant; he beckoned to his brothers and sisters on the farms to lay down the showel and the hoe, now that actual starvation confronted them, and come into the cities, where employment awaited them at certain wages. The Negro on the bankrupt plantation laughed at the boll weevil and made his way to the cities. And the penniless, indolent, careless Negro, seeking Negroes of the towns fell in line with this movement and moved on too. Millions of Negroes have left the South within the past ten wears to seek economic freedom in the great industrial centers of the North and West. Millions more are leaving and will leave. They were pouring out of Jacksonville, Savannah, Atlanta, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Vicksburg, Birmingham, and Memphis by trainloads this summer. The towns have been abandoned in a night. Negro labor placed the fields of Southern planters last fall and put in the crop this spring. The cotton and the corn was pushing its way through The parties who drove, the Ford car down Church Street Monday night with a tin can to tie it to a noise making device appear to be a little superfluous-minded. We had always thought that a Ford car supplied anybody with enough noise making tin, even to sabute the new year. Our friend Crowell, who conducts a cleaning and pressing establishment on Highland avenue, after many years in business, has demonstrated the truth of the adage that "A man is never too old to learn." He has changed the name of his place from "The Tivoli" to "Crowell the Cleaner." If he had asked our advice about it, we would have suggested that he change it long ago. Really there is something in a name. Nobody ever tried to say "Tivoli" anyhow, and the wonder is why he stuck to it so long. We suspect that Crowell will find business much better in the new year with a new and sensible name to start out with. In keeping with our policy of visiting one or two business establishments during the week we dropped into two places of wideely different characters this week. One was an undertaker's parlor and the other was a pool room. Undertaker King and business was sort of slack at the time Aleek walked in, and it was a good thing for Aleck that it was, because if it had been otherwise there would have been no chn in so the earth and calling for intensive cultivation. And from millions of acres Negroes went away in groups, leaving no one to hoe and grab and bring the crops to fruition. Plantations owners have appealed to the law to keep the Negroes on the farms, where they are sorely needed. Labor agents have thrown into jail. Negroes have been arrested, trumped-up characters for debts. But the exodus has not abated. One finds in some rural towns whole blocks of Negro cabins deserted. In many cases the migrants leave everything behind them to divert suspicion. Many of them possess little more than the wretched clothes on their backs; they have no ties of property to bind them. Others who have by thrift cultivated a small garden kept a pig and a little poultry, leave the pig in the pen and the chickens roosting in a tree while they steal away in the night to catch a train that will take them to East St. Louis or Chicago. A labor agent furnishes them with transportation. Many of the whole family goes. More often only the men go first, but after a few days they send transportation back home to the women and the Northland, where wages are high and "where a nigger has some rights." Riding through the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, a Negro Pullman porter pointed out to me a group of Negro women and children hoeing the young cotton on a plantation of several thousand acres. "See those women and children," said the porter; "we hauled their menfolks out of here three weeks ago; another week or a forty-night we will be hauling the women and children too, and there will be no black folks left on the ground. The exodus spells, in immediate heavy financial strain, in many cases, utter ruin for the owners of million acres of farm lands in Northland, States. There never is enough labor to pick the South's cotton crop clean, even when conditions are normal. But it wasn't the boll weevil that sent the Negro on his wild flight North. The boll weevil was only one of many reasons. The four main ones are: (1) Discovery by Northern industrialists that the Negro is a dependable and enduring laborer. (2) The dearth of foreign labor, due to our new immigration restrictions, compelling the Northern employer to seek a new labor supply. (3) The inability of the South, under its present situation, was wasteful, and to impart methods of education to pay the Negro a living wage. (4) The Negro desires more than anything else to find educational opportunities for his children. The Negro is focking North to high wages, entering industries that pay him five dollars to ten dollars a day for his work—and pay him in cash. To get North and get these wages and educate his children, he is forsaking a land that too often gives him only a pitiful dole of corn meal and sorghum declares him a debtor. He declares his of a year is done, and as a rule provides only a three months' school term for his children. We Southerners have tried to fool ourselves into a belief that the Negro was forsaking the South to flee into a field of industry in which he could not compete. This is not true. The Negro is proving himself a more satisfactory day laborer than the lower-class immigrants who have manned many of the more important industries. He is hard, enduring, and docile—and he can understand orders given in English. If the Negro had not proved his worth as a day laborer, Mr. King's place is nice and cozy, and if it were a business of any other nature, we might add inviting. The Dunbar pool room. Russell and Drew proprietors, received our call on New Year's eye night, a time when a little boisterousness would have been executable. None such was heard in this place, however. Mr Russell was on duty, and even capable, occupied, everything was orderly and in keeping with decency. How about this for thrift and industry. There is a family living on Carrollton street, who evidently do not propose to pay high prices for eggs and fowl this year. They have taken to chicken raising. A brood of two or three hens and a cockrel scratches around the narrow yard during the day. At night the brood is taken into the house to roost and for its own safety. Shortly after sunrise each morning the rooster can be seen perched on the window sill. The Eureka Lodge of Elks announces a program for the new year that will entail heavy expenditures to execute in connection with the recent acquisition of its Temple on Queen St. The lodge asks not only on the co-operation of its memorial committee but also we think they deserve it. Everybody knows that the Elk lodge is a democratic fraternal order. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1924 $850,000.00 PROF. ROBT. T. RECOMMENDED KERLIN PRAISES FOR HOWARD NEGRO POEMS Bureau Of The Budget Recommends $815.000—Splendid New Projects Approved. Washington, D. C.,-Howard University goes before the Appropriation Committees of the Congress of the United States this year with requests amounting in the aggregate to $815,000. This amount has been recommended by Honorable Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, under which Department of the government the University government appropriations are expended, and by the Bureau of the Budget of the United States. The appropriation for $15,100 recommended for Harvard University for the coming fiscal year is greatly in excess of the $22,300 provided for the current year. New items proposed for Howard University include $127,500 toward the construction of a building for an Assembly Hall, Gymnasium, Armory and Administrative Headquarters, for a Department of Health and Hygiene—an increase of $87,500 over the current act; $370,000 for equipment for these additions to the Medical School Building. President Coolidge in his first message to Congress in speaking of the 112,000,000 Colored Citizens of the United States called attention to the fact that there is need for some 500 colored physicians and that a half million ($500,000) dollars should be appropriated for increased facilities for medical courses at Howard University. the North would not be sending for him and paying his transportation. Again, we have been fooling ourselves with a lot of talk about the hard conditions confronting the Negro in the North. Our newspapers are full of it. It is mostly twaddle. I have seen Negroes swarming in the most wretched tenements in congested districts of Northern cities. A white man would shudder to set foot in many of the places in which Negroes live in Northern cities. But they are not worse than the cabins in which so many of these Negroes lived in the South. THE WHITE MAN'S WORD Have you ever seen a typical Negro cabin on a plantation in the Mississippi Valley? You can only a diminutive body structure of a cabin in which a family of five, six, eight, or more eat and sleep. The common type of these cabins is called a "shotgun house" because of its single-barrel construction. During the hot summer months sleep in one of these cabins is next to impossible. When it rains, the water often pours thru the roof. I have never seen one of these cabins secreated, and only on small farms have I seen them with windows other than a near-light wooden shutter. Compared to these squidial brick tenements of the North are very mansions in the skies. The roofs of the city do not leak; snakes and lizards and insects can crawl up with it. I do not visualize for an illiterate black man and his family to work nothing but cotton. The landlord will permit him to grow no corn because he can steal the corn or appropriate a bit of it for his food. He can have no pig and no poultry because pigs and poultry must have grain or the scraps from a kitchen. There are no serums from the poor Negro's kitchen. In a year the Negro's tenements may produce ten, twenty, thirty or fifty bales of cotton. This his wife and children pick out this cotton in the cell and press it to the gin and presses into bales. The Negro turns the baked product of his labor over the landlord and awaits a settlement. Sometimes the landlord says at the end of the year: "Well John, you did pretty good this year; you raised a good crop and you owe me only forty dollars." For a year that Negro and his whole family have toiled and sweated. During this time they have lived on limited rations bought at the commissioned owner by plantation owner. The rations consisted almost wholly of cappage and corn meal. And the arch of the year the Negro is toilous is in debt. He cannot chauar of the white man's word. Heed a mormon account of his account because he does not know he ushers does not appeal to the law; to raise the law is the white man's done to suffers in silence, and whispered was tunity comes he steals away all of night. In the North he finds a city provides a year-round school tea for his children, a community center for himself and his wife, a city dispensary to give him drugs when he is sick and penniless, a public- health nurse and hospital care when he needs them, and a dozen helpful agencies to which he can turn in emergency.

Chicago, Ill. — Professor Robert T. Kerlin, dismissed some months ago from the chair of English in the Virginia Military Institute, because of a letter he had written the Governor of Arkansas, recommending clemency for the Elaine rioters, and who three years ago wrote a special study about Negro poets and writers, has just announced his pleasure in reading the prize-winning poem of Countee C. Collinen, 20-year-old Negro college student of New York, who can second her for a group of 70 contestants in a national poetry contest for college students. Professor Kerlin says: "I have just read with the greatest enthusiasm Countee P. Cullen's prize poem, "The Ballad of the Brown Girl." It is a truly marvelous poem. It should give him fame. Nothing equal to it in tragic power and ballad artistry has been done by any other American poet, living or dead. To悲哀, its beauty is the classic masters in English—Scott, Tennyson, Morris Rosetti. I congratulate its twenty-year-old author and the Negro people of America." Labor Would Have World Disarmament World Disarming Will Be Objective of Labor Cabinet Says McDonald. London, Dec.—The following is a summary of the points of foreign policy upon which agreement has been reached by Ramsay McDonald and other leaders of the Labor Party who are are carmarked for phees in the Cabinet, when the present Baldwin Cabinet gives its office in January. These points are: Full recognition of Soviet Russia. A World Conference to settle reparations and war debts. Support for admission of Germany and Russia to the League of Nations. Summoning, either by Great Britain or the United States, of a disarmament conference to include land and air forces. British Labor still has to make itself clear on its attitude and perilism, but is determined on the recognition of Soviet Russia in the devying of the capital law on wealth. Watching Events At Tuskegee Hospital If Conditions Don't Work Out Satisfactorily Institution Will Be Moved. (By Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., Dec—Conditions at the United States Veterans hospital Tuskegee Institute are correct yet, by any means, according to direct information given here to the Associated Negro Press from both official and unofficial sources, but there is a serious effort being made to work out the program satisfactorily. Director Hines, informed A. N. P. that the government is watching closely the state of affairs at the hospital. There have been complaints about the housing of the doctors, and the salaries of the employees of the hospital not being the same as that for similar positions in other hospitals. This matter MANUFACTURERS RECORD TAKES SHARP ISSUE WITH SAUNDERS ON QUESTION Compares Mississippi Log Cabins To Squalid Tentements In The North And Avers That Later Appear As "Mansion In The Sky." From Manufacturers Record Collier's weekly recently contained an article by Mr. W. O. Saunders giving his reason as to why so many Negroes have been to the North. Mr. Saunders opens his article with the following statement: "I am a Southern man, born and raised in an old-fashioned Southern country town where the population was about half black and half white. I lived nearly all my life in the South and close to colored people. When I was a child I loved my "mole black manmy" and played with Negro children without prejudice. But I grew up to dislike Negroes generally, just as almost every in the South does, except that "a niger is a nigger." I came to manhood with a Southerner's dislike and contempt for black folks." The Manufacturers Record knows no language that would fill answer these statements. There are indeed, a certain class of people in the South, as those known by the Negroes of old times as "poor white trash." who hate the Negro. They will hobbin with him and drink with him, at times, and place themselves on a social par with him, although the Negro is really above that class, and then they will as occasion offers fight the Negro or sometimes shoot him. But these people no longer represent the real South, the real sentiment of the South that the vilest black criminal element of the South. The true Southern people appreciate the Negro, and are doing their best to benefit him financially, morally and spiritually. They do not hate the Negro, they do not regard him as a "nigger." They regard him as a fellow being doing his appointed work and they do not hold the race responsible for the criminals in it any more than the decent whites of the South should be held responsible for the criminality of its criminal classes, or for the effort to misrepresent the relations of the better class of the Southern whites and the better class of the Negro. Collier's Weekly introduces the article by Mr. Saunders with the editorial statement "A Southern white man, reared by a Southern's aversion to the black man," a Southern white man has no aversion to the black man per se. The aversion of the average Northern man to the Negro is far and away greater than that of the Southern man. The Southerner understands the Negro. He ap- REVIEW and COMMENT few days tew days.

The Church Aids Race Relations Columbus, Ohio—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Reports of the secretaries of the commission on the church and race relations of the Federal Council of Churches in Christ in convention here this week disclosed a decided advance in the program of the commission designed to make the church effective in improving the relations of whites and blacks through the report, the last year and was submitted by Dr. George E Haynes, colored, and Will W. Alexander, white. Mr. Alexander and Dr. Haynes agreed in their reports on the value of local interracial conferences which during the last year have been extended from the South to 16 cities in the North. Lynching was said to be on the decrease. The Race Relations Society in Pebble Beach was held to have been fruitful of results and a similar observance was announced as being on the schedule for next year, February 10. Dr. L. K. Williams, of the National Baptist Convention, delivered a striking address, opening the discussion on "Co-operation of the Churches in behalf of Interracial Good Will." The council convention vigorously denounced the Ku Klux Klan and Lothrop Stoddard's "Rising Tide of Color" being imminent to better relations. Interracial co-operation can be established in this land if Christians undertake it with "intelligence and conviction," Dr. Haynes announced. Rabbi Decries Race Prejudice By Robert P. Edwards By Robert P. Edwards Toronto, Can.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Deprecating the fact that the relationship between the two races was strained for over nineteen hundred years, Rabbi Brichner, of the Holy Blossom Synagogue of this city, declared in a recent address to the Kiwanis Club that there were those of God's children who considered it a duty to throw monkey wrenches into the machinery of God's work. Of God's work, "my race is being persecuted in some countries for the deeds of their forefathers." The eloquent and forceful speaker gave an interesting resume of the history of his people and declared that if Canada was to become a great country it was necessary that all races and cults within its borders contribute of their best efforts to the cause. The speaker urged the necessity of the truth in all matters and stated that ignorance, prejudice and lack of knowledge was accountable for the misunderstandings between the peoples of the world today.

We use it, we use it, there no use. We are not empiled by the hopeless mind. But there is use. Some use in every effort made to focus attention upon the great question of racial adjustment in America. We do not expect that after the adjournment of the Sandhedrin we are going right out and realize on its program. We who expect that are going to get disappointed. But if we this gather the New York City of the express purpose of discussing the state of things as affects the race, should serve to crystallize world attention upon the fact that the American Negro is yet determined, it will have been of some use. Well, now if the savants of astronomy have their way we are going to have thirteen month in the year of 1928 instead of twelve Somebody has discovered that the year of twelve calendar months such as we now have is of a great inconvenience to business and domestic life. The plan for inserting an extra month in the proposed world-wide calendar was explained before the American Association for the Advancement of Science by M. B. Cots- precides him, he knows his failings, he knows his good qualities, he knows that the race as a whole is a child race, in mental development, and must to a large extent be treated as children. But he knows that inherently the Negro race has great possibilities for work and for spiritual and moral advancement, whereas the average Northern man knows so little of the Negro that he misunderstands him, mistreats him and hates him if, in close contact, A minister from the North accepted a call, some years ago, to a Baltimore church. He said to the writer one day that he never sat in a hotel dining room and was served by a Negro waiter that he did not shiver every time a Negro came near him. He had an aversion to the whole Negro race, whenever one of them approached him. No Southern man ever feels that to a Colorado man, it felt to the South, stopped at Baltimore and said, "I possibly imagine you people in the South can ever be satisfied with the Negro's presence there." Both of these men, and they are typical of the majority of the Northern and Western people, neither understand nor appreciate the Negro. The South understands the Negroes and appreciates them. But the writer of the Collector's Bible knows that he is not of that class of Southern people who do appreciate the Negro and who are, to the utmost of their ability, striving to advance him morally and spiritually. They have no such aversions to Negroes as Mr. Saunders admits that they and the very fact that he has his admission shows that he is wholly unable to discuss the question as it relates to the South and to the North. Mr. D. L. Bingham, vice president of the Bank of Indiana, Miss., writes the Manufacturers Record calling attention to the article in Collier's, and referring to the misinformation it contains, says: "But when the writer qualifies as an expert and makes the statement 'I grew up to dislike Negroes generally, just as almost everybody in the South does, Goo much is enough, and I can only pray: Good Lord, deliver us from such friends!" An argument over a technical point of faith is not dissimilar to an argument over the technical existence of Santa Claus. But like the children, an audience naturally listens as a matter of form. worth of Vanceau, B. C., its originator. Each month under the plan consist of 28 days or four complete weeks, the thirteenth month to be inserted between June and July and to be known as "Sail" in leap years "leap day" since the filling at the end of February, would be inserted at the end of the new month and there also would be an extra holiday on December 29, not designated as any particular day of the week. Sunday would be the first day of every month. Easter also would be set at permanent time instead of being governed by the position of the moon as under the present Gregorian calendar. Tentatively, April 8, the earliest point, would be the earliest and Easter under the present system, as been selected as the permanent date. The Gregorian calendar with its months of uneven length is inconvenient to present-day business and domestic life, Mr. Cotsworth declared. While salaries, rents, accounts and budgets in many cases are on a monthly basis, the discrepancies in lengths of months causes much confusion, he said. Should the new calendar, said to have the approval of representatives of a number of countries, be adopted, holidays might be dated at will, but a translation of birthday dates into terms of the new system, would be necessary. Think of a year of 13 months. What may we expect? Earthquake, tidal waves, famine, resilience, and even Judgement Day. Why not, with an eternal jinx tied to us. At present religious dogma is straining at the bands of fundamentalism that have encased it for centuries and threatens to evolve with force that will resound through Christendom, so it would be strange to find the librarian upsetting our pet notices, the calendar year and putting the timber of 13 months over on us. The Police Dragnet George Harris arrested by officer Jarvis, for making left-hand turn with automobile at the corner of City Hall avenue and Granby St.. was assessed a fine of $3.00 and costs in Police Court Monday morning. Violating Mapp Act Isaac Jones was arrested with two pints of corn whisky in his possession and sent on to the Corporation Court for second offense, violating the Mapp Act. Found Corn in Woodhouse Herbert Chavers and Miss Mary Woodhurst were arraigned on a Mapp Act charge and Chavers was held for Corporation Court while Miss Woodhurst was dismissed. The arresting officer alleged that visited the premises at 907 Liberty Street, Berkley Ward, they found a quantity of corn whiskey on top of a woodhouse used by Chavers. Chavers testified that the woodhouse was used jointly by himself and L. Legum, who operates a store nearby. Miss Woodhurst testified that she was in the employ of Chavers as a cook at his restaurant. 内 面 外 Carried "Corn" In Oil Can Ed. Ballentine and Mrs. Sarah Wright appeared to answer on a charge of violating the Mapp Act. Th arresting officers alleged that he accosted Ballentine on Charlotte Street walking along non-chalantly carrying an oil can, ostensibly full of kerosene. Behind him walked Mrs. Wright. The officer said that he asked Ballentine "What is that you have there, oil?" Mrs. Wright who was walking slowly behind Ballentine answered quickly, "Yes Sir." Her answer heightened his suspicion, since as he claimed he knew the woman condoned it and on Nicholas Street it appeared street furniture the should have all the way to Charlotte St. to get oil. Investigating the seemingly innocent oil can and its contents the cop discovered that the can did not contain kerosene, but corn whisky. Ballentine was held for the Corporation Court and the woman was dismissed. And He Beat It William Lowery, a vagrant and looking all the worse for being one was before the court on a vagancy charged. Justice Spindle recognized in him an old offender and inquired where he had been since he was last before the court. "I have been around home with my family," answered the defendant. "Where is your home," asked the court. "Up near a little place called Washington, Va." replied the defendant. "Why didn't you stay up there? came back from the Justice. "They ran me away from there. "I frankly retorted the prisoner. And I am going to run you back there." I came as quickly from back bench. "Vessil, the prisoner and hurried away even before the court and amused spectators could suppress their laughter. If Justice Spindle had it in mind to ban Lowery from the city he did not get the opportunity to express it, before Lowery was outside of the courtroom. To Get A Warrant Willie Herring went to the second police precinct to get a warrant for a man who he claimed had taken some money from him, and became so boisterous while in the station house a warrant was issued against himself. Willie alleged he had engaged in a game with some others and won the money, when one of the members of the gaming party proceeded to unload him of his winnings by force. He went to the station house to get a warrant, but decided to return to the house where the gambling was held, persuasive methods to get his winnings, which he used to amuse the who took the money from him if he'd give it back he would not have him arrested. Evidently the man knew Willie had a "sweet chance" to get back gambling money through resource to the law, so he did not listen to Willie's threats. Willie went back to the police station and being warmed up over his experience used language not permissible in presence of the law. He was fined $5.00 and cost, but has never explained what became of the man for whom he wanted the warrant. Carried it In Market Basket Henry Rowe, when arranged on a Mapp Act charge admitted that he welt cut with a market basket and bought a half gallon of corn for himself and friends to make a merry holiday. He was returning with the stuff concealed in the basket when the police got him. Henry was held for Corporation Count. Malicious Cutting James Ford was sentenced in his absence to thirty days in jail for malicious cutting of Daniel Brown. Ford's hand was forfeited and his arrest ordered. Fugitive From Justice John Serius was held for the Portsmouth authorities on a charge of being a fugitive from justice. Mamie Brown and Kenneth Cole went to jail in default of a fine of $10.00 and cost on an adultery charge. Mamie's husband appeared as a complaining witness. Drunk Margaret Moore, a familiar street panhandler, walked up to the bar too drunk to answer to the charge of drunkenness. Justice Spindle continued her case. Margaret is the little woman seen uptown so often begging for money to get a meal to eat, as she puts it. Raid Nots A Still A raid on a house at the corner of Johnson Avenue and O'keefe Street natted a still. Joseph Miller and Henry Low were held for the Corporation Count in connection with it. Takes Good "Eats" Solomon Mitchell has penchant for fancy foods. Solomon completed a year's sentence in the penitentiary served for larceny on November 3. Monday morning Solomon was before the court on two more charges of petty theft. C. E. Brimm, a merchant on Cumberland Street, was represented as complainant against Sol thru one of his clerks. The clerk alleged that Solomon entered the store and ordered several small articles and while being waited on snatched a large ham, put it under his arm and ran out of the store. A clerk in A. & P. Store on Cumberland Street testified that Solomon entered his store, ordered a few small articles, snatched a fruit cake and ran out into the street. He was overhaulled before he got very far with his cake and ham. Solomon was sentenced to six months in jail on each warrant. Pawned His Hat Josephed Kee was fined $10.00 and costs on a petit lancey charge and went to the pen in default. Joseph is a lad about eighteen years of age. He alleged that he worked two days for the complaint, and he said that when the man refused to pay him, he took his hat, pawned it for two dollars and sent the ticket back to him.

Saunders On Negro Migration (Continued From Page 9.1) May 1, 1923, giving reasons why they are leaving the South. It starts with the statement that "the Negro feels that his life may be taken with impunity at any time by a white man. The Negro has generally despaired of obtaining his rights as a citizen in this section." The document goes on to particularize, laying emphasis upon the fact of his lack of educational and uplift opportunities. He complains of the fact that for every $20 spent for the education of white children in the State, only $1 is spent for the education of the Negroes; of the $80 consolidated schools in Mississippi, all are for whites; of fifty and odd agricultural schools for whites, there is not one for Negroes; and there is not a dollar for the tubercular, or for the feeble-minded, for the blind, or for the derelict Negro youth, though millions are spent on whites. The complaints made by the Negroes of Mississippi are typical of the complaints made by Negroes in other Southern States. They are all too true. And yet one soldier bears mention of the Ku Klux Klan by the Negro. The Klackers are the least of his troubles. The fact of organized mobs arrayed in nightshirts and pillowcases makes little difference to him. He was lynched before the nightshirts and pillowcases were thought of, but better class of Negroes are particularly alarmed over the Ku Klux, the organization of Negroes see in the organization a sinister agent further to estrange the whites and blacks in the South and prevent racial adjustments. I may come to that later. I have indicated the immediate effect of this wholesale exodus of Southern Negroes upon the agriculture of the South. What, then of its effect upon the North? What of its effect upon the moral, social and economic progress of the Negro in America? These are questions which Amerira must face squarely and at once if the power of the nation and the personality of the Afro-American is to be preserved. The North is temporarily profiting by the shift of Negro labor. But the North is finding itself with a race problem on its hands that is as alarming as the race problem south of the Potomac. The Negroes attracted to the North in this and recent years are largely from the lowest classes. They are illiterate, happy, an- luckily highly emotional, highly generous and, most important, they are keen upon wild tales of equality, and they enter the cities of the North wild to experience hitherto unknown freedom and social privileges. The unschored Negro fresh from the South in his new surroundings is exploited by machine politicians, who make him extravagant promises which they never intend to fulfill. In the South a white man may hate the Negro as a class, but he will put himself out to befriend an individual Negro. In the North white men profess a great interest in the uplift of the Negro as a class, but ignore the individual. In the North his children may sit side by side with white children in public schools, but he and his wife are showed aside as vultured in white hotels, theaters, and restaurants as in the South. He finds his life in the North more confusing than in the South. He has been led to believe that the attitude of the North is more broad and tolerant than the Negro than is the attitude of the South from being true—and the North hasn't had enough experience with the Negro to know exactly how to receive him and place him. Left to himself, he will work out a place for himself; frontal leaders offer misdirect his energies and inflame his imagination. The race problem is no longer a local problem left to the South to solve in its own way; it is a problem for the metropolitan centers of the United States, in dislike of the signs and tempers of the time, the North will shed blood over the problem if it does not interest itself immediately.

J., Dec—The City Commissioners have just missed, on final reading, the anti-Klan ordinances prohibiting the burning of fire crosses and the parading of encamping with masks so as to conceal identities. As far as can be appreciated this is among the first cities in the United States to take official action against the KKR. Chicago took a similar action last year. It defies for violations of the law that minors include a minimum fee of $20 and a jail sentence of six days. T. Klan has established branch-a throughout this state in practically every city. It claims a large membership in this city. This, however, is a matter of conjecture as none have been seen in their disguise. Two fiery crosses have been reported seen burning one at the Inkt and one on the beach right in front of Atlantic City's famous boardwalk. On both occasions these who ignited the crosses had disappeared before anyone saw them. The cross on the beach was spotted by a colored patrolman just as it burst into flames and be promptly took his night stick, tore it apart and padded it into the ocean. Mayor Edward L. Bader, who is a Catholic made a promise to the New Jersey Federation of Colored Women's Clubs that met here in convention some weeks ago, that as long as he was the executive of the city, the Ilhaman would never be granted a permit to parade or assemble in this city.

Columbus, Ohio. Dec.—Columbus is eagerly awaiting the coming gathering of Negro College men and women from all parts of the country who will participate in the Conventions of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority to be held in this city the week. December 27th to 31st, 1923. The homes of many of the most prominent college citizens of Columbus have been offered for the accommodation of the more than 700 members of these two organizations will be in attendance. Already the local Chairmen of the Conventions of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, V. D. Johnston, has received word from the National Secretary, Norman L. McGhee, that in addition to the 500 graduate and undergraduate members of the Fraternity who plan to be present in Columbus during the Convention week a large number of the most prominent leaders among colored people, who are members of the Fraternity, will also be present. S. S. Booker, National President of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has sent the following inspiring message to the more than 50 chapters of the organization, one being ousted at practically every great American College and University. "Onward to Columbus for the National coexistence of the oldest and largest Greek letter Fraternity of colored men in the world. Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, 3000 strong, I say 'Number 61 in the tens of your Fathers; he world is advancing, advance 61 it.'

But I doubt very much if there has ever been an athlete who brought his brilliant college career to a more illustrious close than Charley West of Washington and Jefferson. Regardless of prejudice and personal feeling along the line of racial distinction in college athletics, we must all be unanimous in orthing, and that is West is one of the steller football players in the collegiate league. It was West who outspread three of W. V. U's interferers and overtook the Nebraska in his sensational dash for a touchdown. It was West who so skillfully handled W. V. U's pants. It was West who so intercepted the Mountainers pass and snatched a possible chance from the Morgantowns, and it was West who outgunned and outcashed W. V.

Towns LIGHTS POST OFFICE FOR BARRING "CURE" --- Jacksonville, Fla.-By far the most important case and perhaps the most far reaching ever filed in this section of the country is that of Dr. D. H. Brown, head of the Magnolia Remedy Company here, and the only physician who claims to have a remedy for the cure of consumption, pneumonia and other diseases of the respiratory organs. Dr. Brown has filed through his attorney, S. D. McGill, of the firm of McGill and McGill, a petition in the Federal Court seeking to restrain Herbert E. Ross, postmaster, acting under authority of a "fraud" order issued against Dr. Brown from further refusal to deliver mail addressed to the Magnolia Remedy Company or to him; and to restrain him from marking such as "fraudulent" and returning it to the dead letter office at Washington unopened. Dr. Brown alleges that some time prior to February 2, 1923, certain competitors of his complained to the Postmaster General at Washington that he was not in a legitimate business. The Postmaster General, Dr. Hubert Work, notified him to appear in Washington at a hearing and show cause why a "fraud" order should not be issued against him. Due to the short notice and other matters he could not appear in person and appeared through counsel. After the hearing, at which time no witnesses were present, a "fraud" order was issued against him. Dr. Brown declares he has never defrauded and has no intent to defraud; that he does not claim his remedy will cure all diseases of mankind, but states that it has cured many cases of consumption, pneumonia and other diseases of the respiratory organs and that this claim is based on the results secured by its use by thousands of patients throughout the country. He further states that he moved his business to Jacksonville from St. Augustine, Fla., because of its growth and that a large amount of his business is transacted through the mails which brought him approximately $1,000 a month. Since the "fraud" order was issued against him, Dr. Brown claims that Postmaster Ross has refused to deliver any mail to him and as a result he has been deprived of the receipts of checks, money orders and at least $10,000. Postmaster Ross has lost $10,000. Postmaster him, he said, that he would stamn all mail addressed to him and the Magnolia Remedy Company as "fraudulent" without opening the same and knowing its contents and return the same to the sender or to the dead letter office in Washington, which action has deprived him of the right of receiving any personal mail from his business, relatives and friends. The case is an important one and affects people everywhere, as consumption is such a prevalent disease. Dr. Brown's Magnolia Remedy has been used for a number of years by our people as well as others, for the diseases named above and many of them have been disappointed in not being able to communicate with him. The case is one that will be watched with interest by the public, as a remedy for consumption, pneumonia, etc. has been eagerly sought ever since consumption has proved such a ravage upon the human race.

WILLIAMSTON White; Gives Life For Negro Mavlow, Okla.—In an effort to defend his Negro porpoise from a mob of a prospector of a hotel here was slain. Birch is a white man BANK CAUSES BIG DAILIES TO RECANT Chicago, Ill.—Made the victim of a broadside from the daily press of this city, the Doughlass National Bank, the first and only Negro national bank in existence, of which Anthony Overton is president, recovered from the blow and forced the local dailies to a retraction of formative stories and the extinction of the bank from all connection with an oil swindle bubble, the bursting of which, caused by an investigation directed by Sherman A. Brusselse, president of the Keystone National Detective Agency resulted in a sensation here this week. Charges were made to the effect that 750 investors had been swindled of over half million dollars in the Admiral Oil Company of this city when it was learned that the president of the concern had skipped town and that one other important officer was "dead." L. A. Young, enicher of the Douglas National Bank, was by the promoters of the company to advance the names, his name appearing on their prospectus. Mr. Overton immediately came to the bat to protect his institution. It was made clear that the fake oil companies had in no way been a part of the Douglas Bank. Suit was filed post hase against the Hearst interests in this city for $1,000,000 by Mr. Overton through his attorneys, Richard J. Hill and S. A. T. Watkins, supreme councillor of the Knights of the Bank's president resigned to story a column long, the local Herald-Examiner, to the headline of which admitted that the "Bank Was Unjustly Named in Fraud." Mr. Overton gave the following public explanation: "Bonds and stocks of the companies mentioned were dated December, 1921. The Douglass National Bank was chartered June 27, 1922, and my connection with the institution has been from May, 1922. Apparently promoters of the financing corporation and the other company involved used the name of the bank. When they did so it was known that bank president or manager of other officials. The first thing I personally knew of any part of the transaction was some two or three months after I took charge of the bank when several, perhaps one, certainly not more than three, coupons came in by mail from a small town in western New York for redemption. "I started to find out what it was all about and the directors took the matter up. A notice was even posted in the bank to inform the members to consider my bony proposition in which the name of the bank was used unless they personally saw me first." Mr. Overton is a native of Kansas, a graduate of the State University, and since his youth has been variously engaged in business enterprises. He is known as a man of few words and decisive action. Besides being president of the Douglass National Bank, is the founder and owner of the Overton Hygienic Company, which instituted the first overcoat quarter million dollars. He is regarded as one of the most thoroughgoing business men of the race. GREENVILLE Greenville, N. C.—The Elks donated to the poor of the town Xmas morning. *Miss Marie Reid,* of New Bern, N.

C.—Palms kernels form 67 per cent of the total value of domestic exports from Sierra Leone, British West Africa, and the natives ability to purchase imported goods is almost directly proportional to the amount received from the sale of palm kernels, palm oil, palm oil products, department, stationed at Dakar, Senegal, reports that 49,029 tons of palm kernels were exported during 1922, as against 86,200 tons for 1921. In spite of the large increase in the volume of export, the value of the kernels shipped was actually 86,500 less than the value of produce shipped. In spite of the value of palm kernels shipped in 1913. Since the appointment of an Inspector of Produce the quality of Sierra Leone palm kernels has greatly improved. Under the Native Produce Ordinance, it is an offense to sell or deal in kernels which have been insufficiently cleaned or which have been soaked or adulterated in any way. Numerous prosecutions and the enforcement of these regulations occurred in 1922 upon the trade. The market price in England for palm kernels is based on the oil content of the nuts, the average content being 49 per cent. If analysis shows a high per cent of oil, the price is increased accordingly; if the content is lower, a corresponding deduction is made from the price paid for the kernels. Palm oil shipments during 1922 were 2,076 tons, compared with 191 tons in 1921. This welcome revival was due to enhanced prices in the English market. A great palm oil price in Sierra Leone produced, in lieu of unless market prices are tempting practically the whole production is consumed locally. The bulk of the oil is shipped to England, the United States taking 100 tons and France 93 tons during 1922.

The man hunt followed a quarrel which Pullen had had with his employer, a white man who had come to Pullen's cabin and sought to Pullen's killed his employer and four members of the mob. Nine others were injured before he was subdued by machine gun bullets fired into the cannake where he had taken refuge. He was taken out dead. Girl Sets Fire To School Nashville, Tenn.-According to the confession made by Miss Emma Lax, 18-year-old pupil of the Vocational School for Negro Girls, she set five to the girls' dormitory because she thought the only way to get a Christmas holiday was to destroy the school. She got together a quantity of kindling and some coals from a heater which she placed in the chapel of the buildings; and then placed some coals in a mattress in one of the bedrooms. The blazes were discovered by other pupils and put out. Miss Lax may have to face charges of arson. Introduces Commission Bill Washington, D. C.-In line with the recommendation made by President Coolidge in his message to Congress for a commission to study the problem of the races and attendant evils, Representative Foster, Republican, Ohio, has introduced a bill which would provide such a body. It would consist of five members to be appointed by the President for four-year terms would sit economically and concern the Negro and would make recommendations to Congress for their solution. The bill was referred to the committee on judiciary. PREACHER SELLS MOONSHINE IN HEARSE Cartersville, Ga.—The Rev. W. H. Carnes will spend the next three months on the chain gang as a result of a lawsuit against a businessman who had liquor to a white man. In addition he will pay over to the court seventy-five of the hawk earned dollars "touched up" to him by his little flock. Officers say Carnes used his heurse (the being both pastor and undertaker) as a blind for hauling liquor, and in this manner "got away" with his blockade running for months.— The 84,000 acres of the public domain in Idaho to be homesteaded is described as mountainous, rolling, and level. It is covered with a fair growth of native grasses and dense sage, chiefly valuable for grazing; heavy loam, first and second rate, stony on the mountainous portions. Opening of 1,285 acres of public lands in five separated tracts in Converse County, Wyoming, by the local land office at Douglas, beginning January 2, 1924, was also made public at the Interior Department about 18 miles southwest of douglas and are reported to be good grazing lands of some dry farming value. SAYS PREJUDICE IS NATION'S GREAT DANGER Wichita, Kan.—That "Predjures of American people are constantly widening the gap between America and other nations, and prejudices are magnifying the troubles between the races and religious sects" was the declaration of Dr. E. A. Steiner, professor of philosophy at Grinnell College, Iowa, in an address here at the Central Intermediate School Saturday night. Steiner said he was thinking in a spirit of human relations and they are easily prejudiced because they see only what they wish to see of any problem." Dr. Steiner emphasized. He called attention to the twelve million Negroes in America "who are loyal citizens but are not even given the elemental rights of citizenship."

Then keep it up and teach the young people how to do it. There were only 26 lynchings in the year 1923 as compared with 61 in 1922. That is great gain. Let us hope the decline will continue beyond the vanishing point. A new prophet has arisen in the East. He is Inayat Khan of India. He is doing business in Paris, France, as the head of the Sufi Order of the World. He says our "civilization is quite worthless," because we "are striving for practical, not for spiritual goals, for what you term 'success in life.'" He preaches a new civilization in which selfishness and crime will have no place. He is a Mystic alright. It is now claimed that Mary Simpson of New York, who was owned and freed by General George Washington while he resided in New York, and who kept a little grocery store after her freedom, inaugurated the custom of celebrating the birthday of the Father of this country on the 22nd of February. She distributed cakes and brew and other good cheer to her numerous customers on the General's birthday and the custom grew in the city of New York and then in the Nation. She was a real Daughter of the Revolution, black but on the job. Did you ever hear such a clamor as we are having for "a leader?" It is wonderful. Those who are doing the clamoring are foremost among our spokesman. They must recognize that they are not "the leader," or they would not insist upon the coming of "the one." Perhaps each one thinks he is the leader and that by making much noise he may invite the lightning to strike him. Perhaps. And, have we not leaders in every community, who are leading, in journalism, the professions, in business, in education, in church and charity work? Yes, we have them in every community, as we have them in Norfolk. When we really need "the leader" we shall not have to clamor for him. He will stand out of the psychological complex as a matter of course as he has done in all ages. Our Restored Representation in Convention There is general gratification among our group because of the action of the Republican National Committee in reversing its action in reducing Southern representation in the National Convention, and the restoration of the old order as to numbers with the addition of twenty-three delegates. If there ar_e few Republicans in the South it is by no fault of theirs, but by the fault of the Republican majorities in Congress since Reconstruction days which have neglected to safeguard "the privileges and immunities" of Negro voters by appropriate legislation against discriminating legislation and mob intimidation and violence. The statement is going the rounds of our newspapers that the action of the Committee in reversing itself was due to the fact that large numbers of Southern Negro voters have become voters in Northern and Western States and threaten to bolt the party of the Harding policy of side tracking the race in party standing and consideration shall not be reversed. There is some truth in this view of the matter, but not all of the truth. It has operated so far in New Jersey that an unheard of thing has just happened. It has brought about the placing of Dr. George E. Cannon and Dr. W. G. Alexander on the Regular Republican ticket, to be voted for at the primaries, as delegate and alternate to the Cleveland Convention next year. It has also brought about the appointment of ex-assemblyman Oliver Randolph as assistant United States District Attorney in New Jersey. And a prominent New York leader has declared that the Negroes of that. State are entitled to one member of Congress. In Pennsylvania and Illinois the Governors have made appointments of prominent Negroes on big State Commissions, which show that they are alive to the changed mind and attitude of the race towards the Republican party, due in large part to the transfer of voters from the South. But we imagine that the deciding factor in the reversing of the action of the National Committee was due to that political sagacity of President Coolidge, who recognized the fact that he might need all of the delegates he can get to secure his nomination at Cleveland, and that he could get some of these votes easiest by restoring the old condition and adding a few more votes in the South. None of the Negro delegates would vote for Hiram Johnson against President Coolidge, because of his record as a Senator, unless Mr. Frank H. Hitchcock, who knows the dirty game, as his manager, should buy them outright. As the JOURNAL and GUIDE has said before, we believe that President Coolidge is not only the best Repub- Editorial Page of American politician in sight but the best statesman with much of the political resources which made Abraham Lincoln pre-eminent as a politician and statesman. Now, here is the rub: We have the restoration of our voting strength in the South, with some addition. The old condition of vote buying before and vote selling out at the National convention should not be tolerated by the candidates nor by the Afro-Americans of the South. It has brought us to the low politics estate we have reached and a revival of it will ruin us forever. None of us need make any mistake about this matter, and should do what we can to keep down a revival of it with a vengeance. lean politician in sight but the best statesman, with much of the political resources which made Abraham Lincoln pre-eminent as a politician and statesman.

The Unwritten Law of Marlow We have never heard of an unwritten law that did not tread the heels of the written law, when it did not smother the life of it, and bring in a condition of license of lawlessness, of confusion, which are the opposite of law and order. When a community once begins to override the law and to do things outside of the law, the end of that community is never far away. This is not to be wondered at when we remember the terrible centuries of struggle to which we owe law and legal enforcement as the chief safeguard of Christian civilization. The pages of history are red with blood of millions who died that others might live peaceably under their own vine tree. Oklahoma is one of the plague spots on the map of the United States. It was once called "No Man's Land," because it had no regularly organized government and desperate characters from all the states made it a refuge from justice. Its population is one of the most mixed in the country, being made up of white blacks, reds and half-breeds of all shades of color. It has been so long in the spotlight that its distorted features have become hideous to decent Americans. Marlow has an unwritten law, even as Oklahoma has many. It is that no Negro shall remain in it after dark. If he gets to he must get out between suns. If he does not he may be lynched. The hotel proprietor of the town recently employed a Negro porter and was promptly warned to discharge him or he would be lynched. When the mob can chastize him and the porter for his refusal to do its biddings he was shot to death and the porter was so wounded that he may die. Ninety persons have been arrested in connection with the murder. Will they be punished? We have seen but few editorial reference to the Marlow outrage in the daily newspapers. They appear to think that it was a local master with which the county and state authorities of Oklahoma can safely be left to deal with it. The Newport News Daily Press does not appear to think so. After denouncing the unwritten law and the outrage as "un-American, undemocratic, uncivilized and barbarous, and quoting the citizenship guarantees of the Federal Constitution in support of its contention, the Daily Press says: "It is inconceivable that there should be such a situation in this land of the free. It is un-American, undemocratic, unequivocal, and barbarous. We believe in the sovereign rights of the States, in local self-government and all that but there are rights of individual citizens which must be respected in every State and protected by the United States Government. Negroes are citizens of the United States and of the State in which they reside. The Negroes of Oklahoma are entitled to the enjoyment of life and liberty, the same as any other citizens. It is the prime duty of the Governor of Oklahoma to take care that they be protected from the "unwritten law" of Marlow and if he fails in the discharge of his duty, it then becomes the duty of the Federal Government to intervene." We do not remember to have seen anywhere a cleaner cut statement of the Negro's right to the enjoyment of life and liberty the same as other citizens than the Newport News Daily Press has made. If we could have the same kind of truth proclaimed by our daily news papers all along the line we should soon have an end of lawful discrimination, such as that at Marlow, and the lynch and mob villainous inseparable from it.

In the first place are Year after year a steady decline in attendance upon Emancipation Day observances has been noted. Attracted by uniforms and music, a creditable crowd collects along the line of march of the street parade, but at the church exercises at night, where thru speeches and recitations appropriate to the occasion the spirit of the day is more nearly revived, the audience is generally very small in proportion to the race population. A close study of this situation reveals the outstanding fact that the Negro of the latter day as a whole is indifferent about and not interested in celebrating his emancipation from chattel slavery. In the first place any reference to American slavery fosters into his imagination a picture of the abhorrence of the times. In the next place he realizes that there is yet so much to be done to break the bonds of economic slavery, proscription of opportunity, injustice before the law and denial of citizenship rights, that his attention is focused more upon gaining a newer emancipation, an emancipation that will flow from the Constitutional amendments that grew out of the one of 1863, and make him a man free in opportunity, free in the enjoyment of the privileges and immunities of American citizenship, more than it is upon celebrating the issuance of Abraham Lincoln's immortal proclamation. That chattel slavery was a cursed institution no one will attempt to deny. But the American Negro today measures arms with Negrid civilization anywhere on this cosmic sphere. He has outstripped his brother in black in all lands and American slavery was the means that brought about his contact with a virile civilization that kindled into his benighted soul the fires of manhood. It is no particular disgrace upon us that we were once slaves. The same has been true of nearly all races. And those who desire to celebrate Emancipation Day need not suffer any compromise with their conscience to do so. After all, those who celebrate are thinking more upon the wonderful progress the race has made thru its span of freedom than they are upon the actual commemoration of Emancipation Proclamation.

The St. Luke Herald opened a veritable pandora box in its recent scathing arrangement of race newspapers that feature scandals and crime in their news columns. In its last issue the Herald found it necessary to defend its position against the virile opinion of such able writers as Editor-Bibb of the Chicago Whip and Floyd J.

The Herald found support of its logical and correct position in the JOURNAL and GUIDE's recent observations on the subject under the caption of "What Sort of News Do People Want?" and makes this timely comment: "The St. Luke Herald believes that there are still gough principled Negro Journals left, like Editor Young and others, to drive the Public and the Negro Press out of this crime and scandal spell of mental and moral trophies." Further support of The Herald's position will be found in a communication on this page this week from Mr. T. C. Williams, who undoubtedly expresses the views of a large number of newspaper readers.

We have entered upon a new year. Three hundred and sixty-six days are allotted us for 1924, and the question is, what are we going to do with them? or that portion of them we may be permitted to enjoy. With the colored people of Norfolk, renewed confidence, a greater development of opportunities abounding, the growth of a community spirit and a larger projection upon the field of economic possibilities are in order. The past with whatever it may have wrought for us is history. Nothing can be gained by reflecting upon it, except the light of experience which will help to guide us in the present and future.

There need be no fear, therefore, that this modern tendency to discard outworn beliefs, means a lessening in the fundamental belief in God. Human knowledge could never destroy a belief in some eternal creator. There will be many of us who will balk at giving up at this time our ideas of Christ as taught in the Sunday schools; it is better by far to have a wholehearted belief in a rational religion, than a half-hearted and insecure belief in something that passes our understanding. 1924 A Year Of Promise Norfolk (Va.)

The South is coming into its own. Capital is turning to the opportunities afforded by climatic, labor and natural conditions, so long neglected, and the movement of the textile industry from New England in this direction, coupled with a more systematic agricultural development, bids fair to give this section a greater era of prosperity on a sound basis than yet experienced. Norfolk and Hampton Roads in the very nature of things will benefit from the rehabilitation the world is undergoing, while the diversified progress being made in the immediate territory on which the city and port are dependent will relieve that feeling of uncertainty that so often delays expansion and development. Public Pulse Progressive and Up-to-Date Paper. Editor JOURNAL and GUIDE Editor JOURNAL and GUIDE Sir…You are certainly to be congratulated on getting out such a progressive and up-to-date paper, and I am glad to note that an increasing number of our people are reading our own papers. Their far reaching influence in shaping and moulding public opinion is inestimable. Yours is a well edited paper, giving the general news as well as those thoughtful individuals independent in tone, and clear in dictation and expression. One may not always agree with some of them, but what matters, just so they are thought provocative. Then again the news is clean and reliable. F. D. WHEELOCK Hampton, Va. "What Sort of News Do People Want?" Editor of JOURNAL and GUIDE Sir—In your editorial of last week you comment on the fact that while some of our colored newspapers emphasize vice, murder and crime, they seem to be prosperous and have a large circulation. The JOURNAL and GUIDE however has elected to refrain from such news and to maintain its record clean and wholesome for the people whom it serves. For some time I have been both shocked and mortified because of the great emphasis given by our colored newspapers to the tragic occurrences of our people. I am thinking now of a paper with a large circulation that weekly greets its readers with the foulest of murders and seems to delight in giving the details in connection with them. Going to the advertising sheets of such papers the ordinary observer finds sundry pictures or scenes of murders, which often newspapers would at once refuse. The distressing part about such matters is that the owners are obviously unmindful of the impressions such articles make upon the plastic minds of youth or how they infame the diseased minds of adults who are already overfed on such filth. I remember some years ago a murder happened in a town in Virginia and a full account was carried each day in the newspapers. A friend of mine had two daughters in the adolescent state, and he positively refused to allow his girls to read the newspaper because there were elements in it that would have tended to thwart his efforts to rear them properly. Coming back to your assertion that newspapers which indulge in scandal achieve remarkable material success, I want to say that if such papers as the JOURNAL and GUIDE would take a determined stand for clean news—and clean news is not incompatible with interesting news, the public would gradually grow to look for such news. In the meantime the proprietors who indulge in scandal would become acquainted with the new forces at work and would make the proper adjustments bringing their color into tune with the new delights of things. We safely predict then that the time is not yet when we shall be able to pick up any colored paper and divulge its contents with safety as well as pass it on to our children for their inspection. Tribute to Mrs. McKirahan Editor JOURNAL and GUIDE Sir:—Mrs. I. L. McKirahan, wife of the Rev. William McKirahan, D. D., for twenty years was principal of the Norfolk Mission College and pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church, died on the 20th of December at their home in Hookstown, Pa., after a long and painful illness. Mrs. McKirahan was a woman of great physical strength that supported a mind of unusual mental power and vigor. She was endowed with many gifts. And was one of those rare spirits that used her talents not for vain glory and personal gain, but gave them in service to her fellows out of love of Jesus. Christ. During all the years that Dr. McKirahan labored here in Norfolk, Mrs. McKirahan gave herself unselfishly and wholeheartedly to the work of lifting the Negroes of Tidewater, seconding every effort of her husband, who was among the foremost educators in the state. Much of the musical genius displayed by the men and women of Norfolk and Tidewater generally, both vocal and instrumental owe its discovery and awakening to Mrs. McKirahan's gift and powers to instruct and inspire her pupils to put forth their best efforts in development. Many of this community and scattered thruout the country will mourn the passing of this great man. One who with hundreds of others came from the Northland and rendered service in the name of Jesus Christ and humanity at a time when it cost to teach Negroes the ways of God and civilization. There are not many left now of that noble band of Christian soldiers. One by one they are being gathered to their reward. Noble Spirits they were of whom the world was not worthy. The passing of Mrs. McKirahan simply marks the home going of one more of these godly soldiers who fought bravely to the end. Virginia owes her a debt of gratitude that she can never pay. It is noted with regret that Mr. Ford has withdrawn his hat from the Presidential ring. With the Ford-cars creating a nation wide wave of enthusiasm, Ford have given us a solution for this in one of his campaign speeches. Saturday, January 5, 1924 Classification Continued b.

Boni & Liverright, 61 W. 48th Street, New York City. Price $2.00. Postage 10c extra Waldo Frank is one of our younger impressionistic writers, as far removed from the Victorian age with whose literature some of us still dally, as from the age of Petriles. He seems obsessed with sex, a true Freudian, but he has a way of expressing emotion, of picturing a place and its many vibrant life, that is astounding. Nazareth, the town in "Holiday," is real, luminous. It is like a moving picture, and indeed I believe this younger generation is much influenced in its writing by the swift, vivid photographs of the movies. Here, as in no other book written for many years we have the atmosphere of the South, its warmth, its sky, "naked-white, its earth, "red-naked," its dark, peek, "the color of dust on the shadower roof," its cabins of the shadowed woods of its woods, its dripped souls "carrying through the night where the sky's blare is hushed, a luminous music." Against the black world, is an ugly white world, crass, common. And from it comes a white woman, daughter of the chief business man of the place, who for a time holds our interest and sympathy. There has been and will be endless discussion and much anathema a around this volume. It dares to recite the attraction that a colored man has for a white woman. This attraction that a colored man has for a white woman. This attraction ends with the destruction of the colored man and in a heartlessness on the part of the white woman that is incredible. It is difficult to understand Virginia. She is modern enough not to be startled at the sight of a naked black man coming up from the river to where she sits; she can talk with him, (even Frank does not make it go any further) but she can later hear him being lynched without emotion. She is replete, and as the arm dies down she sleeps. But I suppose she is not Virginia but the white world, desiring, and later killing the thing it has desired. I would not have missed this book for a very great deal. I do not half understand it, I know at times it is revolting, but it tries to say a big thing, and in part it succeeds. Writing in Brentano's Book Chat, this is what the author says of it himself: "Holiday is a story as simple and direct as I could make it of one of the greatest of American dramas; the struggle in the South between the white race and the black. To the artist there is no right and no wrong in this drama; there is only beauty, only truth, only life. * * Here is a dual world, each part of which years in its racial way for self-expression, for joy, for life, for God, each part of which profoundly loves and needs what the other part possesses, and through the fateful circumstances of American life all this energy of desire is locked into opposition and distrust, so that it becomes channeled not in some fair communion but in an orgy of blood and horror. This ironic state is tragedy, surely, but tragedy quite as profound for the white oppressors and lynchers (victims of their own hate and love) as for their Negro victims." During the early part of December somebody broadcasted the report that the world is growing better. But now that the Christmas season is over it seems to have hit its regular stride. with its antecedent "he." CLAUSE CONSTRUCTION. Adjective clauses have three constructions: I. ACTIVE. IN "V.乞 e-tables that are stale are, unwholesome," unwholesomeness is restricted to vegetables, "that are stale." 2. DESCRIPTIVE. In "our vegetables, which are fresh and sound, have a ready sale," "which are fresh and sound" describes vegetables with it restricting salableness to them. Descriptive clauses are set off by commas. 3. CONTINUOUS. In "the grocer sent me stale vegetables, which I promptly returned," "which I promptly returned" neither restricts nor describes, but continues narration. This construction is equivalent to the compound sentence, "the grocer sent me stale vegetables" and "I, promptly returned them." EQUIVALENTS OF RELATIVE PRONOUNS a. OF THE SINGLE RELATIVE 1. THE SINGLE RELATIVE ADVERSE, connecting an adjective clause.—This is the place "where" I was born. 2. THE CONJUNCTION AS, connecting an adjective clause, —Such "as" I have give I unto thee. b. OF THE COMBINED RELATIVE ADVERB, connecting a substantive clause.—Tell me "where" you live. 2. THE RELATIVE ADJEC TIVE, connecting a substantive clause.—Show me "which" house is yours. The Whatnot Column BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.) The Whatnot Column BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.) 82. When were the first slaves landed in America? The first cargo of Negro slaves was landed at San Domingo on the Island of Haiti in the year of 1565. These were at once put to cultivating the plantations. Slaves were brought by the Spaniards to Florida in 1565, but the first slaves brought to the colonies were landed at Jamestown, Va., in 1619, by a Dutch trading vessel, who exchanged twenty Negroes for food and supplies. 83. What reference did President Thomas Jefferson make to slave trade in his message of 1808? In his message to Congress at the commencement of the session in 1806, President Jefferson asked of that body the wisdom of abolishing African slave trade, and he requested to elect committee, which reported a bill to prohibit the importation of slaves into the United States. This bill, of course, was fought by the Southern representatives. A long and fiery debate ensued and the act was finally passed after several amendments, imposing a fine on persons engaged in the slave trade were added. In 1806 did the emancipation of slaves occur? The emancipation of slaves in all the French colonies took place in 1734 and in the English colonies in 1836 and 1839. Sweden emancipated her slaves in 1846, Denmark in 1848. Holland delivered her American colonies from slaves in 1862. The African slave trade was closed in this country on the first day of January 1862, followed by the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863. Next Week's Whatnots 85.

With a heavy and unnering hand migration has spread all her drab colors revealing a change and chastened Southland. Where once great fields of grain and cotton grew, is now a hideous wilderness of weeds, and the carrion crows of neglect drape the tumble down fences awaiting the inevitable. In other places stretch broad acres of parched products deserted by the harvester for they who planted in the South have since gone to make their harvest in the North. The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few and suffering has come into the land of oppression. It is as it is, while the spirit of freedom beckons the unhappy sons of toil to other fields where at least an occasional ray of God's sunshine is permitted to bathe the soul of even a bearer of burdens. In the North the picture is neither perfect nor ideal. Perfection and idealism are but the dreams of men, never attainable but always the weaver of hope, inspiration, aspiration. The picture is encouraging, it inspires with its high-lights of hope and the glow of of its warm tints impel the gaze, breathing a bit of impel into the well nigh stifled souls of those who have come out of bondage. To us who have always lived in, and, know the North, there does not come the same thrill, for we have too often found the mirage of deciet lurking back of the shifting shadows of wanton faithlessness. But nevertheless we hope, we dream and strive for that peace, protection and power which the South does not and will not guarantee. Already the cities of the North were crowded, thus the matter of housing a very difficulty problem, which is daily being more complex, by the orrush of the migrants. Yet in some way the new comers are being assimilated and even though not comfortably housed in far too many instances, have at least a shelter. Thus in many places we find overcrowding of the worst type which is demanding the toll of sickness an ddeath, as well as exerting a most disastrous effect upon the moral and social life of the people touched by such unwolesome conditions. At first the Northern Negro was inledic to be hostile to the white group of his people and a bit indifferent as to their welfare. But it was not long before he discovered that new problems effected the whole race, and now all are beginning to work together to improve the situation. This is as it should be for migration has done and is doing more to emphasize the value of the Negro as a movement since emancipation. We are today, I believe, standing upon the threshold of The Great Solution. Much depends today upon how we as a race play the cards which have been thrust into our hands. We must play to win by exerting every ounce of energy, caution and power in order to make our race more at ease. We must can white man and to ourselves. Any other thought or misplay means defeat and defeat at this moment means disaster and a setting back of the race man, many years in the struggle for progress. Quite often the health of the Negro is used as a lever in certain hands and tightening grip he is getting upon the affairs of the nation. The reputation earned for being an upheathable menace to the nation and a disseminator of infectious disease is always exaggerated, but it must be admitted that the Negro's sickness and death rates are too high. Much of this is preventable and daily is contributing materially to the economic and social loss of a people. It does not afford a chance for each. Each and every one of us should make it his sacred trust to do everything possible to remedy this evil, this loss from which our race is suffering. It is pleasing to record that throughout the entire North there is growing and determined movements to make welcome, happy and comfortable our brethern who are coming out of the South. Attempts are being made to provide better housing, better social contacts, to acquaint the new community with certain principles of health, hygiene and conduct so that they will not violate and insult the customs of the South. Much is being done with telling results, but can and must be done, or we shall be face to face with the humiliation always born of the unfinished task. In most every instance the Negro church is taking the lead in this vast social movement, but always welcomes and recognizes the co-operation of other agencies. It seems that we are just beginning to realize the seriousness of our task, and the part its failure of success is bound to play in the matter of race re- The North is facing migration with a grim determination to make the most of a situation which threatens to bring a greater freedom to the members of our race throughout the country. The North is facing this crisis with the sound recognition that together we must build up a principle which shall not merely serve our ends, but shall establish a creed for the guidance and protection of unborn generations. Within our race our differences are always more imaginary than real and if we will we may write the constitution of racial good will, good judgment, in good faith while the spirit of alismism is upon us.
