The Norfolk District of the Southern Aid Society has just closed one of the most remarkable contests ever staged in the Sick and Accident business. The records for the month of January show an increase of membership by more than fifteen hundred. The district was divided into two teams known as the "Bankers" and the "Longshoremen". The Bankers are the best by a small margin. Traveling Supt. F. W. Munford was Colonel of the Longshoremen, while Asst. J. W. Ewell acted as Colonel for the Bankers. The success of the contest was due to the splendid spirit of cooperation and co-ordination shown by the entire agency force. The contest was planned by District Supt. S. B. Noble who was assisted by Traveling Supt. M. Murford and Asst. Supt. C. J. Williams and J. W. Ewell. There is every indication that Norfolk District will break away previous record made by the Southern Aid Society before the close of the year. The agency force of the Norfolk District will celebrate this wonderful achievement at an informal reception to be held at their splendidly equipped assembly room located in the Southern Aid Building, 520 Queen St, Friday, February 8, at 5:30 p.m. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1923 Associated Negro Press Representative Moves To Have Inciting Headline Suppressed On Hearst Newspaper. (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Feb.—In a recent issue of the Chicago Herald and Examiner, one of the great dailies of America owned by William Randolph Hearst, this flaming, page-turning book, the early street editions: "Woman Shot By Negro Bandit; Dying." As soon as it was seen by a representative of The Associated Negro Press, he communicated by telephone with the managing editor, Strong protest was made, the managing editor, who had not seen the book, and a surprised exclamation, asked the representative to hold the telephone while he stopped the presses. In a few minutes he returned to the telephone sincerely apologized for the occurrence, and gave warm assurance that same would never occur again. He stated that a woman who was not familiar with the paper's policy, wrote the headlines. The story was rewritten, thrown on an inside page, and the headlines made absolutely no reference to race. The incident was about three young hoodlums who entered South side, demanding money and jewels. One of them shot the woman, and the three fleed without securing anything. It was pointed out by the A. N. P. representative, that the magnifying of criminal stories in daily newspapers and flaming leads to agitation that breeds race riots.

Graduating Class Mid-Year 1924, Booker T. Washington High School Town of Truxton, Bought By Colored Investors, To Boom Under Fine Improvements --- Negotiations entered into a few weeks ago between representatives of the United States Housing Corporation and a syndicate of local race business men who entered a high bid for the purchase of the entire town of Truxtum have been completed and the transfer of the project to this syndicate effected. The new owners, the Truxtum Home Corporation, have revised the sale prices of the homes on a greatly reduced schedule; planned elaborate improvements. Renewed interests is now being manifested in the project as a very desirable home sight. This beautiful residence division, which since the day the United States government, acting through the Housing Corporation completed it as a housing project for colored workers of local war industries, has been buffeted by uncertainties of government relapse, indecision and mismanagement, is now nurtured in private ownership of local interests thus, at last, affording the residents direct contact with those whom they must deal until the property is paid for. Not only is this transfer of Truxtum hailed by the people now on the place with much elation, but it is also regarded by those of adjacent communities as a very significant incident. As from the natural race profile that is being used all sides in the course of the ability of colored men to rise to the occasion and acquire the property at a high figure, there is the pleasant assurance that a local ownership with private capital invested will most certainly arrest whatever deterioration that has set in on the place, further improve it and manifest a personal interest that will increase the commitment of the residents on the project and be inviting to others. to locate there Already there is being manifested by home seekers renewed interest in Truxtun, now that the future of the place is chartered along the same course that other real estate investments traverse. A BEAUTIFUL LOCATION Truxtum is situated on the Deep Creek Boulevard about a mile south of Portsmouth city. It stands upon an elevation of hard earth and remarkably free of sand, even during summer. It was a time when money was a minor consideration in its building. Laid upon the plans of government architects and landscape designers, the streets, homes, yards and utilities are nearly perfect in placement. The project consists of 253 modern homes, the majority of which are of the five room bungalow type. There are a few ten-room two-room homes in the lot. There are a lot more in less than 30 feet and many have a frontage ranging from 110 to 125 feet. Each yard is surrounded with an indestructible galvanized wire fence affording ample space for small garden and chickens. Between the houses which stand from 10 to 15 feet apart are beautiful level expanses covered with a fine grass lawn. Buicketing these lawns are all season foliage and flowers. The sidewalks were graded by their builders with a precision and along the outer edge of each for their full length stand beautiful and sturdy plants or shade trees. Tourists have conceded that there is scarcely a more beautiful spot in the state than Truxtun during the early spring and late fall. LOVELY INTERIORS The interior of the houses is equipped-with bath room, electric SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR wiring and fixtures, a hot water range and boiler. White porcelain sinks and closets are in the kitchens. There is not a single dark nook or corner in a house in Truxtun, each one being built with a special view of obtaining abundant sunlight throughout the day. The walls are of beautiful white plaster and the floors are made of excellent quality pine or cypress that readily lends itself to the most artistic color shading. The walls stand upon an already brick wall foundation and are impregnable to the freaks of violent winds. On the property is one of the most modern school buildings in the state, consisting of ten rooms and a spacious room and construction brick and stone. The new owners will at once set to work making elaborate improvements to the property, it was stated this week. A large sum of money will be expended for repainting and other needed features. They are now offering for sale between one and two hundred unsold houses on the place at greatly reduced prices, a small cash payment being sufficient to enable the homeseeker to move in and the balance in most liberal installment payments. Both street car and jitneys pass Truxtun, the Prentis Park car from the ferry being a direct route. The syndicate owning the property, is now the Truxtun Home Corporation is comprised of W. H. C. Brown, banker, of Norfolk and Newport News, president; Rev. J. Albert Hardy of Norfolk, vice president; A. A. J. Strong, banker, of Lassiter, secretary; Dr. Hampton, treasurer; William M. Rich, banker, of Norfolk, and J. C. Brooks, real estate broker, Norfolk; Thomas W. Newbie, real estate broker, Portsmouth. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers WILBERFORCE DORMITORY IS LAID IN RUINS Fire Believed To Have Been Of Incendiary Origin; Menaces Lives Of Entire Student Body of Young Men. LOSS SEVERELY FELT BY THE UNIVERSITY Wilberforce, O., Feb. 6—P. N. S—One of the boys' dormitories was completely destroyed by a disastrous fire here last Thursday morning and nine students were injured, two probably fatally, when they endured to escape from the burning building. It is thought that the fire was of incendary origin, the loss is estimated at $30,000. Officials of Wilberforce University are conducting an investigation. This is the second large fire at the institution within the past two years. It will be recalled that old famous Shorter Hall was destroyed in February, a little over two years ago. Officials and friends of the institution had just about completed the erection of a modern fireproof structure on the ruins of the old Shorter Hall. It is said that the fire started in the basement of the building and ate its way to the upper floors. The fire was past control when discovered and great damage was made to the young men sleeping in the building. More than 100 boys were domiciled in the hall. The flames had cut off all avenues of ogress and the boys had to jump from the second story, the first floor being used for classrooms, to safety. Nine of the young men were injured. The injured are: Homer Dumman, Riverside Cal.; and Charles Fairtax, Johnston, Pa.; probably fatal injury; W. A. Boone Jones, Davenport Greenville, Miss., sprained the Theodore Simpson, Elkhorn, W. Va., sprained back and ankle; Charles Duncan, Louisville, Ky.; Denny Moses, Battle Creek, Mich.; Alfred Harvey, Brownville, W. Va., and Mason Davis, Birmingham, Aln. received painful cuts and bruises. Officials of the school have indicated that a more modern and much larger dormitory will have to be erected. The loss of this hall greatly handicaps the institution, as their crying, need is for more room to house the student body. It is said that several hundred students had to be turned away last fall at the opening of school because of lack of dormitory accommodations. DEMOCRAT OPPOSES HONOR TO LINCOLN DEMOCRAT OPPOSES HONOR TO LINCOLN Representative Blanton, Texas Announces Opposition To Observing Day of Birth. Washington,—(L. N. S.)—When the Committee on the District of Columbia in the House of Representatives recently ordered a favourably report on a bill to make Lincoln's birthday a legal holiday in the District, Representative Blanton, a Texas democrat, objected and announced that he would not support the bill. The measure was favored by representatives of the Grand Army of the Republic; Sons of Veterans; Veterans of Foreign Wars; the District Commissioners, and the American Federation of Labor. This unexpected objection had the effect of awakening the people to the fact that there still lurks in the bosoms of the dominant element of the democratic party a feeling not altogether in with the present spirit of the time. It is thought that that the action of this democratic congress indicates the attitude of his party towards honoring a man whose public services gained him such a fond place in the hearts of his countrymen, towards the man who saved the Nation from dissolution—who gave it its start on the pathway of industrial freedom—who covenanted with him when he his life—there can be no doubt as to the democratic attitude (Continued on Page 3).

BERNARD YOUNG, Jr. The eighth holding of the modern era of the famous Olympic games began in Chennai in the foothills of the majestic Alps, and it promises to write a brilliant page in the history of athletic competition and rivalry. The opening was auspicious. The opening would have been less plausible but for the last minute settlement of a dispute between the French officials in charge and the American skating team. The trouble was slight, but even then it should be regretted because friendliness and sportmanship should rule in any sport for athletic event. Chief interest among race fans centers about the small but worthy group of Negro athletes who are practically assured of a place on the next summer to represent the United States. Among those who stand out most prominently are, Earl Johnson, great distance runner; Ned Goundin, holder of the world's broad jump record; DeHart Hubbard, National Intercollegiate record holder for the broad jump, the hop, the skip, and jump, and an exceptional hurdler, Charles West, holder of the Penthalon event championship; Albert Washington, University of Washington, held demon; Harry F. V. Edwards, holder of the English 109, 220, and 440 yards championship; but now a resident of this country, and several others. These men have performed in great style and promise to cop many events when put into competition against the best of the other nations. In Johnson we find the greatest distance run in the history of the all. Now that Ritolo is to represent Finland, Johnson is American's best bet. Johnson is now training in his quiet unassuming way, and is supremely confident of winning from all Olympic competitors in the tryouts and then going to Paris. Guardin has announced that he will be a candidate for the team and is now training. He is the The movie patrons of Portsmouth and vicinity will have an opportunity to see the greatest prison reform picture that has ever been produced, at the Colonial, Monday and Tuesday, next week. Once in a while a picture reaches the screen which surges with such stark realities and moves with such force and vigor and carrying such a deep lesson that it seems destined to find a ulace in memory long after the day of presentation has been forgotten. Such a picture is the most important of the Observer the ex-warden of two prisons, who true to his ideals, started a crusade toward prison reform which had for its purpose the moulding of character and giving the prisoners a chance to find KOLLEGE KID SAYS-- The longer you live, the more you learn, and then die and forget it all.

Of course no son was shining at four o'clock, well the groundhog had a looking glass in his hole. I am kinder going out of my line now, I was hired to write sport stuff, but some of my admirers ask me to "spress my opinion on some of the topics of the day" because the teacher then asks the request. The first thing is the question "bout the kustodian for the new high school. It seems like the school board wants to hire a white man to do the work, saying that there was not a colored, which could do that kind of work. Why I can do that work myself. They use the word kustodian, but that don't mean anything, it is up, in fact it don't mean anything, but a plain long everyday janitor, and who can't be a janitor? Why they talk like that is some job. It must be some job tho, look at this, they get at colored men to be the principal and a white man to be the janitor. Whatcha think of that. Consequently, the man one than the principal's well that takes the knitted cake. Well the coffee pot dome scandal seem to be the Kats Kittens now days. Now, if old man Falls and Diphenyl gently and done like I told greatest jumper in the history of athletics, and will turn in many valuable points. Hubbard is without a doubt the most consistent jumper living today. He averages greater distances than any other living jumper. The others Americius has one of her most formidable dependable athletes. In these men she must put her faith to bring in places in the jumps, dashes, distances, hurdles and weight events. In West we find an all round athlete. In Washington we look for the coming dash champion, who has been time enough at 9 times, much believeth he is, or will be, the fastest cinder path man living. Harry F. V. Edwards ran a third in the last Olympics. This indicates his ability. The actions as well as the performances of these athletes will be closely watched and noted. It is important that they win, but is more important that they conduct themselves in sportsmanlike America, the world, and the race of these men look to them for the best they possess. What they do will be an honor to them and to us. The Olympics will give those athletes of the race who compete the chance to prove their greatness. To do this they must know that we are behind them to the limit. If they win, we win, if they lose, we lose. The latest report is that Firpo and Wills have agreed to stage a bout next July in some great arena that is being planned. A New York syndicate represented by Lewis Raymond announced that word had been received from Buenos Aires that Firpo had an offer of $250,000 for a 15 round match. It is said that in a month's time contracts will be signed. It appears that those controlling the boxing game are taking lessons in the art of drama.

He is carrying his ideals here in a manner which will be appreciated by everyone fortunate enough to see this realism. He is writing "The Way" for the most part is bold untarnished truth. There is a crash of dramatic conflict, an array of clashing action which takes a powerful grip upon the emotions of the spectator. You see how criminals are made here through lack of proper understanding. A young boy of the slums is sent to reform school because he accidently broke a window of a cheap shop. His spirit is broken, he graduates at a poor school and takes up evil associates. He isn't long before he is railroaded to prison through an attempted burglary and the harsh, cruel treatment is unfolded before your eyes. "The Right Way."

Johnson, Jr.) The attitude of the Norfolk people towards sports in general is disgusting. September, October and November are the only months that mean anything to local fans. After the passing of these three months and football, fans are like the ground hog, they go into their home and play. October and November, October and November. The city has been on the athletic down road for quit a few years and evidently no one is trying to pull it out of the mire. Who can be faulted for such indolence, fans or the athletes? Apparently it is a case of: Water won't put our fire, we won't burn stick, stick to pig and cannot get home from the mire. Athletes, athletes won't interest fans and we don't get any sports.

Union University floor "5" "passed, dribbed and shot their way to a sensational 32 to 27 victory over the stellar Shaw University quintet as an auspicious opening to the collegiate basketball season. The game proved to be a thriller, with almost any team the winner at any stage of the contest. The enthusiasm of a good-sized crowd heralded an increased interest in the floor sport in this vicinity; an interest which has been hagging during the last few seasons on account of the lack of good basketball teams. While their many loyal supporters urged them on to put all into the game, the stellar proverbial comeback in the last half after being at the short end of the score in the first stanza and won handily. With two sterling forwards, Pickett and J. Brown, ably supported by the clever and rangy W. H. Jackson, center and B. Brown and Miller, guards, the Unionists put up a floor battle which surprised their more experienced rivals. Lytle, Shaw, and the captain's real threat, caging many shots from almost impossible angles and with apparent ease. The score went back and forth during the first half, which opened by Shaw registering three from the floor before Pickett found the basket for a nest field goal. Then Union rallied and kept within two points of her opponent until the end of the first half, which ended Shaw 13; Union 13. J. Allen relieved the speedy Pickett at forward in the second half. J. Brown was shifted to the guard position with Gregory at forward for Union and this combination proved to be a good one. Union and Shaw passed well and the team appeared to be even matched. Joe Brown played a stellar game at forward and Ben Brown's guarding was of high calibre although Lyle got away many times while --- THAT'S WHAT YA CALL SERVICE!!

Union staged a rally near the latter part of the last half that clinched the victory when Pope Gregory flashed down the floor and caged a pretty one from afield, making the score 23-20, then Allen made a free throw, and another trot and Joe Brown popped one while under cover. Shaw was fighting to get the lead with the lily. Ford outstalled with the time. Jackson made one and registered a point on a free throw. Fort and Lyle were Shaw's outstanding stars with Hicks and Mitchell playing a good brand of basketball. This is Johnson's first game of the season on her home floor.

Wayland 19 Armstrong 18 The Wayland Lightning quintet of Union thrilled the audience in a preliminary game which had to be extended into an extra five minutes in order to decide the game. The Lightning five engaged the Armstrong Hi quint, and won 18-15 after a game chock full of action. With Weeks and C. G. Smith starring at the Coopers position and C. S. Smith and J. Jones at guards, the young quint gave battle to the Armstrong team who were led by the aggressive young had, Winfield and Tylor and the hard-fought spirit of the game thrilled the audience.

P.)—Sport writers of this city are working their hardest to push to the front and a broader success Adrian Buckner, colored high school senior, whose deeds on the cinder path have led to the nickname of "The Marvel." The exploits of Buckner are of even date with the work of Hussey, the spectacular flash of the Stuyvesant high in New York City. Local followers of sport figure that there would be nothing to it but Buck seconds. Buckner is said to beat that mark regularly. Attention was first focused on the local colored boy when he snatched some of the laurels of Lochnicht, district champion hereabouts. Lochnicht leaped into the limelight by holding his own against the famous Loren Murcheinson. While all other spinners of this region get the match in their matches against Lochnicht, Buckner takes on the champion at scratch and beats him. Buffalo is holding "The Marvel," in its hand and yelling to New York: "Bring your Hussey." Morehouse Trims Y.M.C.A.58-30 Bij L.

C., Feb—Howard defeated Hampton in the second game of this season, 22-21, in on eof the greatest games of basketball the two teams have ever played. It looked as if Hampton would be winner until the very end of the game, when Howard's indomitable spirit and brilliant playing, coupled with Hampton's failure to shoot the many fouls which she had an opportunity to shoot in the game, earned Howard a hard-won victory. This victory came as sweet revenge for the Howardites' previous defeat at the hands of the Hampton basketball tossers. The game was played in the Armstrong Gymnasium and was witnessed by an enthusiastic crowd. The playing of the teams was evenly matched. Until the very last minute nobody could tell who would win the game. The first half ended with a score of 13-11 in favor of Hampton. In the second half Howard made 11 points to Hampton's 8, which gave Howard the one point necessary to win. The game was fast and the playing at times, was fierce and decisive defense, which allowed the dazzling. Both teams put up a won forwards only a few opportunities to shoot. The forwards of both teams were under such pressure and close guarding that they missed set-ups occasionally. There were no particular stars in the game as every man on both teams played stellar ball. The spectators considered the game one of the best that they had ever witnessed, and the vanished as well as the victors earned glory in the thrilling contest. HOWARD, 22 HAMPTON, 21 McCoy R. F.

The game was played in Music Fund Hall before the largest basketball crowd of the season and one of the largest that has ever witnessed a Hampton-Lincoln game. The game was hotly contested and was filled with sensational passes and long shots that brought men and women to their feet time and time again. The playing was clean and was made especially fast by the efficient refereeing of Neville Reed. The first half ended with a score of 16-36 in favor of Hampton. Lincoln entered the second half with that fighting spirit for which Lincoln teams are known and raised the score to 23-18.

His presence filled the nation. He broke the might of oppression. He restored a race to its birthright. His mortal frame has vanished, but his spirit increases with the increasing years, the richest legacy of the greatest century. MEN show by what they worship what they are. It is no accident that before the great example of American manhood our people stand with respect and reverence. And in accordance with this sentiment our laws have provided for a formal recognition of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln; for in him is revealed our ideal, the hope of our country fulfilled. and its observance recommended as befits the beneficiaries of his life and admirers of his character, in places of education and worship wherever our people meet one with another.

When she faded away in his tender years, from her deathbed in humble poverty she dowered her son with greatness. There can be no proper observance of a birthday which forgets the mother.

PART TWO PAGES 7 TO 12 MISSISSIPP REVIEW SSIPPI GOV EWand CO REVIEW and COMMENT Next week the Negro Sanhedrin will meet in Chicago. At the same time the Lincoln League will assemble in the same city. Recently both of these organizations have found it necessary to offer some explanation of how their gatherings happened to fall on the same date. Each has passed the responsibility and with a tinge of resentment that we fear reveals a little jealousy or fear that one will outshine the other. Hardly a week passes in these times that we do not hear coming from some prominent Southern white man or woman a strong pronouncement inviting and urging a changed attitude of the South regarding the Negro. Most of the newspapers, white and colored, are giving wide publicity to these utterances. We believe that if within the last fifty years the press of the country had devoted as much space toward a better racial understand- by the progressives, as they have led every other forward looking measure since the convention doors swung open. Colored Delegates Defend Race Several colored delegates took the floor in fury opposition to the night riding enemies of the race who are denying all rights to human beings with black skins, where they have the power. They were encouraging shouts from the delegation. The United Mine Workers has led the American labor movement in the program of equality to all workers in the mines, readless of the co-ords of their skins and the dhe heroism of black men in the West Virginia mareas were fresh in the minds of many in Tomlinson Hall. Denounced as Strike Breakers "The Klan is a strikebreaking institution!" "When the Ku Klux Klan wants to take off its mask and work in the open, then it will be time to change our constitution and let the miners join," declared John Bates, of Williamston, Pa., leading the anti-Klan forces.

Noon has introduced a resolution aimed at putting Jim Crow street cars in Baltimore. In the same city a movement is on foot, said to have the backing of the Mayor and influential property owners, for restricting the residential area of Negroes, or more objectionably known as the segregation movement. Both of these suggestions are sponsored by Democratic administrations, which colored Baltimore means seemed to have taken unto themselves so much pride for having aiding so materitally in putting in power last year. "Brutus' thine is the most unkindest cut of all." At the last municipal and state elections in Maryland the action of Maryland colored voters in getting on the Democratic wagon was held up to the colored people of the nation as an example of political emancipation from the Republican party that might be followed with beneficial results to the race. But it seems that the best lesson for Negro voters is now in the making in that state and will most likely have the most lasting effect. The situation simply enhances our mistrust of the Democratic party in spite of our weakening faith in the Republicans. Just before the fatal illness and death of Woodrow Wilson were announced the Teapot Dome scandal overshadowed all else in Washington and in national political circles. It is evident that there has been some wrong doing, and it is just as plainly evident that President Coolidge intends to go with the matter in a manner that must retain for him the confidence of his fellow citizens. It is also evident that the Democrats are leaving no stones unturned to create campaign thunder out of this national scandal. We do not believe that it will effect the political fortunes of President Coolidge, unless the ramifications of the investigation devolve more startling and far-reaching disclosures than we have reasons to think it will. Of course, the Democrats will use it as campaign material anyway. Politicians will orate themselves hoarse on the Teapot Dome Scandal. "But we have observed that wages, taxes, employment and general prosperity generally heat the most considerable MINE WORKERS CONDEMN THE KU KLUX KLAN Colored Delegates Join In Fiery Speeches In Opposition To Affiliation of Organized Labor With Knights. Indianapolis, Ind.,—With a thundering chorus of Ayes the convention voted its condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan as an enemy of organized labor and voted down the proposal of the President John L.

They will clear your skin, keep it free from shine and make it much more beautiful. weight in normal elections. The workman, farmer and the man in the street cares little or nothing for Teapot Dome or any other high down scandal, inasmuch as he entertains the belief that both parties profit at the expense of the public. Wages, taxes, agriculture and soldier bonus are going to have more to do with the political fortunes of the respective candidates than Teapot Dome, foreign relations or any of those high strung questions that do not so intimately touch the poor man's livelihood, as he thinks. "It is to be sincerely hoped that such fears are unfounded. Chicago is big enough for a dozen conventions of like proportions and if these gatherings are going to be a repetition of the same old thing—ambition for personal honor and publicity—it would be better if neither meet. Most of us are indeed hopeful of great accomplishments of the Sanhedrin, nevertheless, we are dubious, and admit it. We have no precedent that any race of people has ever worked out its destiny in the manner involved in the Sanhedrin, but we are conscious that good can come out of it, if those fostering it will permit. But, please, gentlemen of the Lincoln League and gentlemen of the Sanhedrin, don't hand us either mud slinging nor an "I did it cherus" when it's all over FOR YOUR COMPLEXION. To improve your complexion and keep it soft and lighter, use Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Soap which makes it more healthful, free from roughness and satinity without shine. Then apply Dr. Fred Palmer's Face Powder which is fragrant sweet. Norfolk Journal and Guide ing as it is devoting today, the last vestige of color animoise would have been effaced from our country. Ex-Governor Patterson of Tennessee in palying a glowing tribute to two colored heroes who at the risk of their own lives plunged into the icy water of James Creek Canal and effected the rescue of a family of white people took occasion to ask a better understanding and a fairer treatment of the race to which they belong. Governor Whitfield, the new Chief Executive of Mississippi, in his inaugural address devoted much eloquence to plea for a broader acceptance of the race question in the South. These pleas may not bring an adjustment of this momentous question as speedily and as directly as many of us would hope for. But it should be remembered that the question was some centuries forming itself into its present seemingly unyielding aspects, and many years will be required for its offset influences to get in their work. However, this new cry that is now going up on many sides will sow the seeds of goodwill which will in time flourish and grow into that wished for amity. The United Mine Workers in convention assembled in Indianapolis recently, with a thunderous chorus of aves voted its condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan as an enemy of organized labor and voted down the proposal of John L. Lewis, the president, to permit members of the miners' organization to join the klan. It is reported that several colored delegates took the floor in fiery opposition to the klan. It is inconceivable how John L. Lewis could entertain the proposal of permitting United Miners' affiliate with the klan, as he knows well that the Negro members of his organization are not only barred from affiliation with the Invisible Empire, but it is also an avowed enemy of the race. However, the progressive element in labor seems to have the reigns of government of the organization in their hands and more recently they are piloting it in a way that holds promising encouragement for our group, which includes a gradual letting down of the bars to craftsmen of the Negro race.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1923 Importunes The South For A Greater Regard for Its Colored People Avers That South Must Compete With Northern Employers To Retain Its Labor Supply; Wants Conditions Improved. Jackson, Miss., Jan.—The inaugural address delivered by Governor Whitfield when taking office here last week embodied what many regard as the most significant and thoroughgoing pronouncement on race relations ever voiced on such an occasion. The state, said Governor Whitfield, must take the Negro into consideration in all its plans for progress, improve his working and living conditions, look after his health, provide better training and sees that he gets a square deal in business relations and in the courts. The law enforcing officers were called upon to put an end to lynching, and every citizen was urged to see that the colored people are protected from violence and injustice, and encouraged in their efforts for self-improvement. Cordial co-operation for the common welfare was pointed out as the one path to peace and prosperity. Governor Whitfield's statement follows: "The Negroes still make up slightly more than one-half of Mississippi's population. Any plans for a new era, any change in our economic life, any reorganization of our agriculture or industry which leaves them out is doomed to failure. If we could work out our own economic salvation, we must at the same time take their well-being into consideration. There is a definite relation between their happiness and prosperity and that of the state as a whole. "If we would hold these laborers in the South we must compete with the northern employer on his own terms. We must improve working Colorful News Movies By the Cameraman PRESTON NEWS SERVICE 1. "Efficiency" - A Yard Wide. 2. Remarks by Two Distinguished Men. "Efficiency" gildes off the tongue as smoothly as a battleship glides off the ways into the water, but it takes both brains and brawn to produce the "stuff" that's efficiency and it's often hard to find these twins on real good speaking terms. While standing in front of the Mac Gregor-Cutler Printing Company's place in Pittsburg last week, we met "Mr. Efficiency," all full of smiles, as usual, and full of ideas, too, as usual. His real name is John L. Clark, and, naturally, we have a friendly feeling for John, for when he lays aside his bread-and-butter work, he grabs a big fountain pen and dashes off information about Wylie Avenue. John L. Clark is a printer, and when we say that we mean it in the same sense in which we would say that Thomas A. Edison is an electrician. John has risen from being a "devil" of a printer to a crack "lay out" man for one of the most prominent firms in Pittsburgh, Creations of print art-craft are to Clark what landscape creations were to Rembrandt,—what vocal modulations are to Gali-Curei,—what cadenzas are to Fritz Kreisler,—and what love was to Roneo We understand that Clark understands every printing device from Blaeu's wooden hand-press to Hoe's double octet rotary machine, and when we inspected some of his multicolor "long-run" work we decided that the U. S. Bureau of the Census should be asked to make a special classification for the ex-typesetter; and, jumping from what we have read in the "Inland Printer": America's foremost printing journal, which compliments Clark's work every now and then, that opinion is not confined to us alone. There's more than a story, however, in the career of this "do-it-right" man. There's the lesson of efficiency's compensation, not only in printing but in every trade and occupation under the sun. The way is hard, 'tis true, but that makes the compensations more enjoyable and far-reaching in their soothing functions. And, lest we forget, "Efficiency" in the long run always takes the "T" out of can't be done" Don't take our word for it. Just ask John L. Clark, of Wylie Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa., U. S. A. and living conditions, look after the Negro's health, foster manual training and modern agricultural methods, and see to it that at all times the less favored black man shall get a square deal in business relations and in the courts. Our own self interest prompts it; humanitarian considerations demand it; our Christian duty as a more favored people enjoins this upon us. LYNCHINGS DECREASE "It is encouraging to learn of a fifty per cent decrease in the number of lynchings in the past twelve months. While mob violence is by no means limited to any section, its presence anywhere and everywhere is a blow at law and order and a blot upon our national life. I recognize only the supremacy of the law, and the equality of every man before the bar of justice. I call upon all the law enforcing officials in the commonwealth to use every means within their power to prevent lynching, and thus eliminate a potent cause of race friction and ill feeling. "Wise leaders among the Negroes must be encouraged in their splendid efforts to aid their own people. Points of agreement between the races must be emphasized and points of friction minimized. Every man and woman in the state must see to it that the laws protecting the Negroes in their lives and property are vigorously enforced; that the occasional white man who seeks to profit through the ignorance of his tenants or laborers be forced by the overwhelming weight of an aroused public opinion to give a square deal to all whom he employs, regardless of race or color, and that there be the fullest cooperation between the white man and the black, to the end that peace and prosperity comes to white and black alike through cordial cooperation in the agricultural and industrial upbuilding of the state."

The Remarks: Dr. Grimke: "We have also in this city, of Washington, D.C., a White Young Men's Christian Association and a white Young Women's Christian Association from which colored people are excluded, and excluded because they are colored, because they happen to be of another race variety. The very fact of the existence of such associations is a standing reproach to the Christianity that they represent." Dr. Grimke: "Our civilization, cannot survive materially unless it is redeemed spiritually. It can be saved only by being permeated with the spirit of Christ and being made free and happy by the practices which spring out of that spirit." Dr. Grimke: "It is a shame, a burning shame, that we are under the domination of a Christianity that discriminates against human beings made in the image of God and for whom Christ died, on account of race and color." Dr. Grimke: "And in the effort that must be made to rescue the Christianity of today from the spirit, the unbrotherly, the unchristian spirit that now has possession of it, if our faith is weak and if we are not willing to go to the scaffold, if need be, if we are not willing to suffer, we (Continued on Page Nine) HIGHER APPRAISAL OF Booker T.

Smart A more chivalrous spirit and a more lofty respect of Negro womanhood is on the increase among colored men, if observations coming to the notice of the column last Sunday may be taken as proper indications. A youn mother, neatly dressed and of respectable $_{\text{bear}}$ boarded a jitney at the corner of Chapel street Sunday morning enroute $_{\text{downtown}}$. In her arms she carried a baby. She $_{\text{handed}}$ the bus driver a dollar bill which he was unable $_{\text{to}}$ change. The lady waited until the jitney arrived at the ferry when she became a little $_{\text{confused}}$ because she had not been given her change. The driver returned her dollar with the information that a young man passenger on the bus noticing that none of the passengers had chance, for the bill paid her fare, even without making any attempt to inform her of his act. Evidently this man acted purely upon a gentlemanly impulse, as certainly he could have had no other motive when he was not even anxious that the young woman know of his kindness. This is a fine spirit, and the young man not only elevated himself in the estimation of our women, but he also elevated the womanhood of his race. More of his kind are needed. But here is another instance which convinces us that our men do respect our women when they conduct themselves so as to elicit the men's respect. This same young mother and baby arrived at the ferry entrance, with the dollar bill unchanged. The mother attempted to adjust the infant in her arms so as to reach for her handbag. She was blocking traffic in doing this. Two young men, not those mentioned in the jitney incident, attempted to pass the mother and noticing her confusion in reaching for her money and holding the baby at the same time, one of them stepped up, purchased a ticket with his own money, quickly dropped it in the box and invited the lady to pass on thru and never gave the matter another moments notice. Now isn't this chivalry? No finer examples of it have this column ever seen. We are coming as a race. Proper respect for our womanhood as exemplified in these gentlemen will certainly speed our progress.

Taking the notion to move a trunk from her home by the way of the window, Miss Bessie Mandez threw it out into the streets along with other articles such as bottles, glasses and dishes, according to testimony of the officer who arrested her on a charge of breaking glass in the street.

They were fined $5.00 each. Nannie Evans was caught solit- ing two white sailors for immora- purpose, it was alleged. She drew a jail sentence of ten days.

Alberta Scott and Stephen Wiggins were arraigned on a forcification charge. In the same house, 916 Chapel street, where they were arrested Charles Powell, Leon Wilson, Herbert Lewis, Clinton Ward, Eric Thomas and Francis Simmons were taken in custody on a charge of unlawful gaming. In testimony adduced at the hearing it developed that officers went to the house armed with a search warrant for gambling paraphernalia. None of this was found, but the officers alleged that they encountered Alberta Scott and Stephen Wiggins in an compromising condition. On the defendants own statement they were not man and wife the forcification charge was put against them. Attorney J. Eugene Diggs appeared for the entire group. A vivid tie between him and a policeman testifying for the commonwealth ensued, when the officer claimed that he peeped thru a key hole and saw the group of men gathered around a table handling a deck of cards and passing money. The attorney contended that it was not feasible that the office could have seen all of the men thru a key hole. In support of his contention, the lawyer stepped off and peeped thru a key hole in a door of the court room. He then invited the policeman to peep thru it and convince himself of just about how much space his vision would take in. The officer refused to do this, when Justice Spindle left the bench and tried the experiment himself. The court admitted that his vision was on a straight line taking in an expansion about as wide as his desk. Inasmuch as the arresting officers were unable to tell what kind of game the men were playing or whether it was even a game of chance or not the charge of unlawful gaming did not hold. An important legal phase was brought out in the hearing of the fornication charge, attorney Diggs contending that the officers made this arrest and preferred this charge when they failed to find gambling paraphernalia. The arrest was made on the strength of the defendants' own statement, when it is claimed they admitted they were not man and wife. Here the lawyer contended that as the couple were arrested on their own statement this could not be used to prosecute them without corroborative evidence. Strong corroborative evidence would have been proof, other than the defendants' statement, that they were not married. This the officer were without. The court agreed with this view and dismissed all warrants. Henry Williams, John McFallen, Charles Borden, James Frances, Archie Bradley, Arthur Armstrong, and William Edwards were fined $8.00 each for unlawful gaming. Jacob Noel, William Jones, Geo. Bennett, Richard Davis and Herbert Brown were arraigned on a gambling charge. Richard Davis was exonerated on the testimony of the others and was released.

Those who were fined $5.00 for being drunk were: Elizabeth Early, Lonnie White, Antonia Garnett, Nestie Williams, James Hudson and Tom Austin. Mrs. Ollie Springfield, Howard street, paid a fine of $1.00 for using the street for a garage for her broken down car. Hewitt Mitchell was fined $25.00 for fighting Lula Johnson, a middle-aged woman. Witnesses testified that Mitchell broke the door of the house with his weight and started to clean up things on the inside. Mitchell averred he was looking for his wife. Lawyer Diggs aided in the prosecution. Ethel Brinkley was determined that Elijah Johnson should not drop his relations with her anytime he wished, nor even handle them lightly. She went to his home for him Saturday. Johnson, was claimed, invited Ethel to leave. Ethel defied him and according to witnesses, darted him to strike her or otherwise force her to leave. Ethel had charged Johnson with striking her. Witnesses denied this. The warrant was dismissed. ```markdown ``` Lonnie Hamilton was charged with trespassing. It was claimed by witnesses for the prosecution, that Lonnie was discovered on the third floor of a vacant house in the white residential section, with an empty bag. One witness said that its home, which was nearby the vacant house, was robbed by a pet, thief some days ago. Lonnie claimed that while he was returning from work it became necessary for him to step aside for his physical comfort. He hurried to the back yard of the vacant house, he said, but finding no convenience there entered the open back door to the toilet inside. Prosecuting witnesses were not sure whether the door had been forced or whether it was unlocked as the defendant claimed. Attorney J. M. Harrison argued against Hamilton being charged with housebreaking and the defendant was fined $10, on a simple trespass charge. SHORT CUTS Alex.

He became somewhat erratic as a religious mania sized him as the weight of years bore down upon him. He would hold up traffic in the street while he preached to the passersby. In more recent years his frail being failed him and he was not able to move about freely so farmerly. Mingo Cobb was the slave of the influential Peebles family here in shrewery days. He picked up a bit of education and reconstruction time was elected cornerer of Lenior County.

For many years Mr. Cobb was section of the First Baptist Church. Once when water stood deep at the basement, entrances following a heavy rain passersby called it to his attention.

PRAISES PIEDMONT T. B. SANATORIUM Writes To Tell That Piedmont Sanatorium Is Ideal Place For T. B. Victims. A patient in the Piedmont Sanatorium writes that the retreat is now in a splendid condition to care for patients. He says the infirmary which opened January 2, is a splendid building and all patients who are confined in bed for the rest treatment are cared for in this building. The writer assures that there were thirty patients admitted January 2, some of whom were too weak to remain at the institution and had to be sent back home, and he advises that tubercular victims should not wait too late before seeking admission to the sanitorium. The institution is now treating over a hundred patients including men women and children, states the writer, who are cared for in three buildings and adds that the white superintendent of nurses, is doing all she can to make it comfortable for the patients. The writer, who is charge, all colored, several of whom will graduate in May. A splendid industrial teacher, Mrs. H, Toyler, teaches the women patients in fancy sewing and in the men in making articles as bed room slippers and scarfs. These finished articles are placed on display in the infirmary for sale. From the side a part of the department is to the institution it and a part to the general fund for the purchase of more material. In the industrial department the idea is to teach these trades which the patient may be able to follow in case after discharge from the institution they be not able to resume their former vacations. In the department of nurse training young women patients after discharge a course in nursing, Dr. Carter is glad to receive such applicants. A sclendid Sunday school is conducted at the sanatorium, besides patients who are of the more cheerful mode go from sick bed to sick bed carrying sunshine to those who may appear depressed. Prayer services are held on Sunday and preach Sunday. In the future the chapel will be completed. This is a wonderful place, continues the writer, with the hopes that every man and woman in Virginia with T. B., will endeavor to be admitted to the Piedmont Sanatorium. Plenty of fresh food, fresh milk are given the patients and on Christmas fine Christmas tree, was had. Around the first of the year, twenty-five patients were discharged as includes the writer, and more are entering from the city of Norfolk than from any other place in the state. REV. S. S.MORRIS SEES PROGRESS IN N. C. Education Intensively Emphasized In Race Schools; Ministers Labor For Uplift. In the interest of the advancement of Christian education and religious ideals among the youth of the race, Rev. Dr. S. S. Morris, General Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the A. M. E. Church, has just concluded an interesting and successful trip to several points in North Carolina, representing his department. Sunday, January 20, Dr. Morris was the guest of Dr. C. S. Stroud, in Greenstorro and filled the pulpit at Bethel A. M. E. Church morning and evening and delivered an address to the Allen League and Sunday school in the afternoon. Monday he visited the public schools, Bennetts and A. and T. Colleges. At A. and T., an address was delivered to the student body and he organized a troop of Allen Life Guards, the Boy Scout Movement of the A. M. E. Church, the Lt. R. L. Campbell of the college, the Guard Corps. Tuesday at Durham, Dr. Morris was guest of Prof. D. J. Jordan of State Normal School. He visited the school and addressed the students. During the week of prayer at Kittrell College Dr. Morris spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and preached morning and evening thru the meeting. Thru the fine spirit of cooperation on the part of the faculty and student body sincere interest was manifested in the meeting and the closing session was honored with 27 conventions and recitals announced by President Edwards of Kittrell College—"Kittrell College 100 per cent for Christ" was realized. Kittrell College is enjoying unusual growth and development. The academic standards have been raised this year. The personess of the faculty gives evidence of high efficiency and as a crowning feature of the second quadrennium of Bishop J. Albert Johnson, chairman of the board of trustees presiding the meeting and Episcopal District, a boys' dormitory, modern in every feature, is completing. At the invitation of Dr. L. H. Midgett, pastor of St. Joseph's A. M. E. Church at Durham, Dr. Morris filled the pulpit here Sunday, January 27. He addressed the A. C. E. Leagues in the afternoon and organized a troop of Life Guards Monday afternoon with 15 boys from E. Alston as master. Dr. Morris also visited the Durham High School, where Prof. W. G. Pearson is principal and addressed the students. Education Emphasized in N.C. Education in North Carolina is being given intensive emphasis, thinks Dr. Morris, after observing the activities at Bennett College, where president Frank Triggs is trying on a women's program. He modern buildings recently erected stand as members to his vision, faith and purpose. At Greensboro College the state is giving Dr. Dudley a spacious modern building for dining room and other purposes. Thinks Dr. Morris, after making these observations of educational progress of the race, the christian church is not alert with a program of religious education, we may have a regeneration in the near future of young folks as learned as Ingersoll, as scholarly as Tom Paine and as moral as the rich young ruler, who lack the one thing needful to inherit eternal life. Some Foreful Minors Dr. C. S. Stroud at Greensboro is doing splendid work for the church and community. He is secretary of the Western North Carolina Conference to delegate to the coming General Conference which meets in Louisville in May, and a profound and convincing gospel practice. Dr. Midgette has recently been appointed to Durham, but has gripped the entire city by the exceptional service he is rendering in the uphill and community. He has thoroughly organized the church and his program includes educational, recreational and social service, church extension, missionary features and activities. Already a mission Sunday school has been organized. The erection of an anex which will include parsonage facilities for other features cost approximately $10,000 has been authorized by the board. Dr. Morris believes that the boy is the nation's greatest asset and is devoting considerable time to a program for boys thru the Allen Life Guard; that the boys of the race may have a balanced ration as they appropriate the life abundance which Jesus came to bring. Boys' week which has become a nation-wide celebration and will be recommended for the boys of the A.M. F. Church. ROPER Roper, N.

C.—Theinterest in the dedication of the Jonesboro High School drew upon the Negro citizens of High Point, Burlington, Reidsville and all the city schools and colleges of Greenboro. Visiting friends from the various cities mentioned above, made a very rich contribution to the dedicatory exercises. The opening exercises Sunday afternoon were largely attended and the troop was intensely pressing. After the press prof. J. M. Foust, new principal of the Jonesboro High School, the history of the Jonesboro School by Mrs. M. C. Falkner, Senior Supervisor of Negro school work in Guilford County and the state of North Carolina was had. Mrs. Falkner, the senior story, how the present Jonesboro High School started many years ago in a little log hut in front of what is now Lutheran College. She described how the continuous growth of the school necessitated a larger building which was the cause of the change of site over on the East Market Street Highway in a large wooden building. The interest continued to grow and this building became inadequate and was replaced with a beautiful two室 room structure. The College Farm on the Durham highway and six acres of land. The building has eight large class rooms, principal's office, two rest rooms, one for boys and one for girls, a large spacious and modern lightte auditorium and is heated with hot air. It was very interesting to hear It. Foust tell how they had to draw upon other sources to supplement the county superintendent's salary when it was raised to a $100 a month some years ago, and how they had to withhold this information from the public until it was taught to realize that such a salary was a necessity. He further stated that when he moved into the new commissional Guilford County Court House that he expressed a desire. Guilford County equally as comfortable and as adequately equipped. He now feels that tremendous progress has been made towards his goal. Mr. C. H. Ireland, Chairman of the Board of Education, followed Prof. Foust, his scene seemed to have been Christian Education as an Essential for the Maintenance of our American Civilization. And he appealed to the colored people the writes of Emerson and Guilford in radiating an influence which might not effect North Carolina only, but the entire nation for higher educational ideals. Mrs. A. W. Holland, State Supervisor, made a strong appeal to the Negroes of Guilford County and the state to prove the wisdom of the provisions that had been made for them by Emerson and of the opportunities made possible for the most humble homes in North Carolina. Monday night, Prof. Foust continued his program with a musical in which the cities of High Point, Reidsville and Greensboro joined the teachers of the Jonesboro School in rendering a program that included a dance and a plate. The climax to the program was reached Tuesday night, at which time we enjoyed solos, quartets and choruses from Bennett College, Sedala and Greensboro. A vivipary address was given to the course of this city in "The Hope of Reward in our Future Activities." Tuesday night was Rosenwald night, Prof W. A. Robinson, Supervisor of Negro High Schools, gave the principal address. Prof. Robinson, Supervisor of Negro High Schools, gave the principal address. Prof. Robinson said in part, that a few years ago Mr. Rosenwald gave $20,000 to the Negro schools of the South and that North Carolina got $40,000 of this money. Last year he said, that North Carolina appropriated $80,000, and that an appropriation by Mr. Rosenwald had already amounted to $100,000 for 1924 and that there were school buildings enough now under construction to utilize every penny of the money. Prof. Robinson declared that North Carolina is proud of its Negro citizens and what it is doing for them. He says that there are more representatives now in the Negro Department of Education than there were in the state department years ago. He told us he was印证ed Prof. Newbold was when he asked the legislation for $1,500,000 for the Negro normals of the state, when the bill went through without a dissenting vote. GROUND BROKE FOR GIBBON'S INSTITUTE Admiral Benson Delivered Principal Address; Says Not Charity, But Opportunity. Baltimore, Md.-Admiral S. Benn, delivered the principal address at the breaking of the ground for the main building of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, a national school for colored youth to be built in St. Mary's County, Md., during the coming months. The exercises were held on Friday, January 25, at the large gathering of citizens of Maryland and the District of Columbia, both white and colored. The first sod was turned by Edward Colbert, an elderly colored man of the District of Columbia, who made the first cash donation to the building fund, a gift of $100. The chairman of the various colored committees representing counties in Maryland each removed a shovelful of earth and each pledged that their committees would raise for the building fund, taking the money over. Mr. James Smith representing the St. Mary's County committee, pledged $2,000; Mr. William Wade, representing Charles County, $2,000; Mr. William Wilson, representing Prince George County, $2,000; Mr. Edward Colbert, representing the District of Columbia, $10,000; Mr. Martin Swam, of Frederick County, $1,000. Pledges were made also from Annapolis and from Baltimore of $1,000 and $10,000, respectively. Admiral Benson in his remarks commended the committees of colored men and women in many cities, towns and counties organized to assist this undertaking; "Such efforts on the part of the Negroes throughout the country, who so little to do with the white race the attention of the white race who has been encouraged by this splendid and unselfield effort to assist a people who are working so hard for the less fortunate ones of their own race." "It is not charity, the building of this institute, it is but giving an opportunity to prosper where little has been given before. If the Negro race receives training and through it becomes more productive and prosperous, it adds to the prosperity of all, and does well as colored. We do it for you, therefore. We do indirectly for our hearts. We are encouraged to do our part because you are doing yours." KINGSTON Kinaton, N. C.—Messys, J. G. Banton, P. R. Boren, and Mesdames H. B. Bynum, B. E.

Congressman Byrnes: "It is useless to quote further this sermon, as the statement made by be made by a member of the board of trustees without any officer of the university taking issue with him it is evident that the Congress would not be justified in making appropriations to carry on such work, inciting the students of the university to take action in this respect of the Americas, and of their religion. If notwithstanding this, Congress is to persist in appropriating the money of the taxayers for this private institution, then Congress should have the courage to enact legislation, declare that it will select this of all the students in the receive Government aid, and then specify the amount the Government will contribute, and the amount the District of Columbia will contribute, because one-fourth of the students come from this city. But above all else, if the Congress is forced to legislate to authorize a prisonation, the control should should be elected that will exercise some control and will not permit the preaching of such a sermon as that from which I have quoted—and Congress shall never authorize an appropriation to any institution having a school in the spirit of the Constitution, and the judgment of men based upon experience." Congressman Byrnes: "This was a prepared sermon delivered by a member of the board of trustees of this university. No one would think of holding an institution responsible for the sermon of an invited preacher, but when a member of the board of trustees, charged with the conduct of the institution and the control of the institution preaches such Young School Teacher Dies Kinston, N. C.—Miss Purl Marie Rivers, a young lady of 23 years of age, died at her home, 217 E. North St., January 14. She was a young lady of very queenly qualities and was loved by all who knew her. Miss Rivers taught in the public schools of North Carolina for five years and won a splendid record during that period. She was ill with patience for quite a while, but she love it well. She was the oldest daughter of Mrs. J. J. Rivers. a sermon, then I do hold that institution responsible, and I say that it should Converse should legislate and provide for the control of it if we are going to continue the appropriation of money for it." Congressman Byrnes: "He (Dr. Grimke) is a member of the board of trustees himself, has been a member of that board, and this sermon was delivered before the convoction of the university, and is being circulated over the country to-day. It is in pamphlet form. Certainly no official of that institution has seen fit to take issue with this member of the board of trustees.. If they disapprove of the sermon, they have never made public their disapproval of the unrest in the Government, first of all, to contribute to any institution which has a school of theology, because these questions inevitably arise, and the experience of our Government through all the years is that it has been unwise. This sermons shows that Government for the university that is stirring up institution that is stirring up race hatred instead of promoting harmony between the races."

Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute from 1893 until his death in 1917, in extending educational facilities to white and colored men and women, boys and girls throughout Virginia, was introduced by Principal James E. Gregg as a teacher, writer, speaker and leader who had "quickened the minds, inspired the souls and rounded the energies of his fellow-citizens." Doctor Gregg declared that it had seemed fitting this year to remembrer Doctor Frissell, the builder of Hampton, "as a high-minded pupil servant who had sought patiently, wisely, and steadily to lift up the economic and educational life of Virginia." President Eggleston referred to Doctor Frissell as an example of preferment through self-effacement linked with thoroughness; as a man who brought together in helpful relation men and women of different ideas, as an organizer of great wisdom and patience; as an unobtrusive teacher and a warm race; as a man who was not afraid to show his face with his principles; as a believer in culture that is not afraid of the soil and the shop; as an exponent of racial good-will and co-operation.

Fifty-six years ago Horatio Seymour of New York, was nominated for the Presidency by the Democratic Convention, in New York City, and was badly beaten by General U. S.

Now, after the lapse of fifty-six years, the Democrats will hold their convention in New York City again.

A Democratic Newspaper The New York Democrat is the name of a new weekly newspaper just launched in New York City. Its motto is "Tell the Truth." Outlining its policy the Democrat says: "The policies of The New York Democrat will be to call the attention of the people of the Negro Race to the fact that they are no longer wards of the nation, but truly free men and women, and they should exercise that sacred right to protect their freedom at all costs. The New York Democrat hopes to serve in a manner that will be the most beneficial to the masses." All of which shows the trend of the Negro in politics and furnishes an interesting side light on the political aspect of migration. Scandal in Oil Leases Felt by Both Parties It has been quite a shake up in the politics of the Coolidge Administration to be awakened to the fact that it inherited from the Harding Administration a great big scandal in the leasing of the naval oil reserves, involving the good name and reputation of former Secretary of the Interior, Fall, who is charged with receiving $100,000 to influence his action favoring the leases, Naval Secretary Denby and Attorney-General Daugherty. President Coolidge is not blameable for any of the transactions involved in the scandal, but the Democratic enemy has been working overtime to shoulder the responsibility upon him. He has taken the lead in prosecuting, by appointment of special counsel, those who may be criminally guilty, while there is a loud call by the virtuous Democrats and radicals of the Senate that Secretary Denby and Attorney General Daugherty should resign from the Cabinet. We have never been able to see why either of them should have been made Cabinet officials by President Harding, and there is every reason now why both of them should resign. But Secretary Denby says he is no going to do anything of the kind. If Attorney General Daugherty takes the like mock position impeachment proceedings a gain both of them may be moved in the Senate. It has been rather diverting to observe how frantically joyful the Democrats of light and leading have been over the naval oil leases scandal. They have not been able to restrain within decent bounds their jubilation. That is because the Democratic party has, as usual, no policies on hand with which to appeal to the National electorate in the November elections with any hope of success, and never does have any hope except when the Republican party makes enough mistakes in a given Administration to discredit it with the voters. The Democrats are, however, short sighted indeed, if they think they can win in the No November elections because of the naval oil leases scandal. We are sure that President Coolidge will so shape developments as to place the responsibility upon the guilty parties, and prosecute them, so that the public interests will be protected and the confidence of the Nation retained.

The Lincoln League Deserves a Chance Every race man and woman with the interests of our group at heart should wish good speed to the Lincoln League of America, which meets in Chicago next week. Any movement whether Republican, Democrat or Independent which seeks to assemble and unify any considerable portion of the political strength of the race, is worthy of respect and consideration. It deserves a chance to demonstrate its worth. The Lincoln League of America has a considerable following. Its promoters are men who have long been in the forefront of the race's political battles. Because some of them are politicians of the professional order is no good reason why it should be assumed, as has been done, that they are inspired by selfish or sinister motives. We will never be abe to offace the politicians. It would be unwise to do so. Those who are in control of the government and those who stand between all Americans and remedial legislation of all sorts, are politicians of the first order, and it requires leadership versed in the ways of politics to cope with them. So let us trust the leaders of the Lincoln League. The movement is capable of bringing immense benefit to the race and should be encouraged for the potential good that is in it.

Doctors have the Right View The need of Negro doctors and nurses in the public health service, federal, state or municipal, wherever that service touches closely the Afro-American people is emphasized strongly by Dr. Algernon E. Jackson, director of public health at Howard University, in a letter published elsewhere on this page. Dr. Jackson states a truth when he says, "if we are going to build up a stable health among Negroes, we cannot do so without the aid of Negro doctors and nurses, and that our people receive a more conscientious education from the trained workers of our race." In this connection it cannot be too frequently emphasized that Norfolk's efficient health department is lacking in only one particular. With 55,000 colored inhabitants under its supervision and care, no colored doctor is employed in any capacity to minister to their needs. For this reason a most admirable system of health clinics which has been conducted at the Community Center is facing complete suspension, entailing a distinct loss to the public work of the city, to which it has been a valuable adjunct. For this, the blame does not properly attach to the physicians, who are willing and desirous of carrying forward this work if they are given a man in the health department whose particular function it will be to see that the clinics are properly conducted, and other health work pertaining to the group is in no wise neglected. The attitude of the physicians is sound and is sustained by the best public opinion.

Portsmouth's Attitude Toward Truxtur The city government of Portsmouth appears to be somewhat stirred over the prospects of having to assume the governing hand in the town of Truxtun, the United States Housing Corporation having sold out to private interests. This uneasiness is said to arise out of the improbability of the assessive valuation of the property yielding a revenue sufficient to make the town wholly self-supporting, therefore creating a liability on the city. It does not appear that the officials of Portsmouth have given due consideration to the situation presented in Truxtun. The town is a highly developed residential section with The city government of Portsmouth appears to be somewhat stirred up over the prospects of having to assume the governing hand in the town of Truxtun, the United States Housing Corporation having sold out to private interests. This uneasiness is said to arise out of the improbability of the assessed valuation of the property yielding a revenue sufficient to make the town wholly self-supporting, therefore creating a liability on the city. It does not appear that the officials of Portsmouth have given due consideration to the situation presented in Truxtun. The town is a highly developed residential section with splendid taxable values present and potential. It attracts a respectable, hard working, industrious class of colored people, who spend several thousand dollars annually in -Portsmouth for supplies. When it is fully inhabited it presents one of the finest sources of honest, contented and well rooted labor that any city entertaining hopes of industrial expansion could desire. From the time the United States Housing Corporation withdrew its support from the town until the present, the residents, although a few in number, have through a volunteer assessment maintained the major utilities at a cost of probably a little less than $10,000 a year. Certainly with the city exercising mandatory taxing powers on the present value of the property and the increased values that are bound to come through more building and a larger population a nominal government can be given the community with but slight drain upon the city treasury. And whatever money the city might be called upon to spend in the town to make up the margin between the revenue received and expenses incurred would be offset by the sum spent in the city by Truxtun residents, this money helping to create greater prosperity in Portsmouth. There are colored districts in some parts of the city that pay the nominal tax in the treasury and receive practically no municipal benefits, improvements being made always in the sections more favored to political influence. Yet there are those who demur on Truxtun receiving one cent more for upkeep than what it will yield in taxes. In some sections of the South, housing projects for colored laborers are being sponsored by Chambers of Commerce and public spirited citizens with a vision. The city of Portsmouth has had a fine division of homes for its labor virtually handed to it on a silver platter, and now it is alarmed over having to see to its governmental maintenance. It cannot be believed that Portsmouth will ruthlessly show an indifference toward such a valuable source of labor by refusing to provide Truxtun with municipal utilities.

Already, winged couriers have borne to every continent of the earth the intelligence that American's Commander-in-Chief during the world conflict has crossed the bar. Once more there is exhibited that outstanding Christian characteristic of Americans that enables them to blur partisan differences, soften class and racial bitterness and join in a universal concord of lofty tribute and sublime reverence to the memory of one of its illustrious sons who has claimed company with the dead. Elected to the presidency on a Democratic ticket in 1912 upon an erratic turn of political events it was not given to him to preside over the destinies of this nation but a short while before contemporary events so shaped themselves as to obscure all political alignments and unite the American people in a common cause against a common foe with Woodrow Wilson entrusted with the unprecedented task of guiding the nation thru a seething cauldron of international enmity. Today, in his death the hearts of his countrymen beat, "well done, thou good and faithful servant." Upon the altar of world benevolence and international goodwill he laid down his life. When colored Americans dig into the record of Woodrow Wilson, the President, they find but little there as his contribution to the conservation of their citizenship; they find but little there as his contribution of opportunity to his countrymen in black, but they do find there a brilliant legacy of momentous service to his country of which the colored race is an integral part and share in common the blessings that flow from the great deeds of the nation's heroes. The most notable recognition Mr. Wilson accorded our group during his career in the White House, was the establishment of the Bureau of Negro Economics with Dr. George E. Haynes at its head, and the creation of the post of special assistant to the Secretary of War, to which he appointed Dr. Emmet J. Scott. Both of these men rendered invaluable service to their race and country. Mr. Wilson could have done more, but it is to be remembered that he was a product of contemporary civilization which withholds from the Negro a full opportunity and public men move in the ways of the times of which they are a part. Then there was manifested in Woodrow Wilson the qualities of patriotism, devotion, courage and statesmanship that men admire in men, differ as we may with their policies. $I_n$ serving his country, he served us too. His death we mourn.

The B.

The Buffalo Gazette says the President should have appointed at least one "Negro Democrat" on the Commission; the chances being, however, that the President is profoundly ignorant of the existence of any such things as Negro Democrats, which President Wilson took infinite pains to kill, including Bishop Alexander Walters, who died literally; the Cleveland Gazette thinks the appointment of the Commission was only a sop to the discontented members of the race and wants something more substantial in the way of appointments, while the captious Washington Tribune thinks the appointment a purely political one, with no expert on the Commission, and says: "Mr. President; Place a Negro on the Civil Service Commission; place more Negroes in the Agricultural Department, especially in the farm loan department; with draw the Marines from Haiti; abolish discrimination in the civil service; place more Negroes in the Department of Labor and we will begin to think that you are the President of all the citizens of the United States, rather than of a selected group." Let the kickers kick. Goodness knows there is plenty of room for all sorts of kicks. Reasonable discontent with existing conditions is one of the prime factors in progress in every direction. Satisfied people usually stagnate and die of their own putrescence, corrupted by too much satisfaction. President Coolidge inherited an ugly condition from the Harding Administration, as far as our race group is concerned, and we think he is trying to straighten out, and we are disposed to help him do it. POLITICS DEMOCRATS PUBLIC REPUBLICANS (Copyright W. N. U.) Public Pulse Approves Attitude of Physi cians To Health Work Editor Norfolk Journal and Guide, Sir;—I wish to congratulate you and your paper for the fine editorial in the last issue concerning the appointment of colored doctors to the City Health Service. I wish to commend the stand that the colored physicians in Norfolk are making and hope they will continue their fight, for anything worth having is worth fighting for. Your editorial is both fearless and logical, for we are going to build a valuable health among Negroes who do not so do without the aid and assistance of Negro doctors and nurses. Any city which has a large number of Negro inhabitants might as well learn the lesson now as later that the only approach to Negroes must be through Negroes. Health is a matter of education, and I firmly believe our people receive a more conscientious education from the trained workers of our own race. I hope you will continue to hit hard on this subject, and I shall very anxiously watch the outcome. A. B. JACKSON Director, Public Health, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Not A Lincoln League Dele gate Editor Journal and Guide Sir--I noticed in the February 2, issue of your paper, under caption, Va. Lincoln League delegates named, that the name of II. H. Price of the 3rd district of Virginia appears. I am sorry that my name was mentioned in this connection. I am also the author of the 3rd district have not elected me to represent them at such a meeting; secondly, because I am of the opinion that the Lincoln League is more of a hindrance than a help. It would seem, judging from its past record, that about all it hopes to do is to control the colored end of the race. I have been ever four years and lobby for political jobs during the administration. Mr. C. Tiffany Toliver, who is credited with having appointed the delegates from Virginia evidently saw an account of the independence among voters of Virginia which appeared in the Norfolk Journal and Guide a few weeks ago, in which my name was written, because Mr. Toliver had a statement in the same issue, on the same page. That should have been sufficient evidence to him, that I am not interested in the Lincoln (Republican) League. So long as we encourage and become a party to these gatherings of insidious politicians, just so long will we be burdened with this species of political parasite. I am not a delegate to the Lincoln League and haven't authorized any one to make such announcement. Very Respectfully, H. H. PRICE Richmond, Va. Briefs and Spices There is an evident impression that the Teapot Dome scandal has not only developed a political landslide but has broiled many big fish in its wake. Mr. Bok's offer to finance another peace prize essay guard with a Senate committee acting as judges suggests that compliments we some times pay are to conceal the grudges we owe. Clarence Ward has bought the village jail of Bellport, L, L., to keep his chickens in. Fine so far! But why mistreat helpless chickens? Next year's thrift slogan will be: "Practice thrift—don't just drive." Very simple, we read ad- mit but very remote and common place in this jazz age when everybody is clamoring for something jazzy. NERVE TONIC I'd hate to have a peace plan that Was styled as propaganda; But, with fifty thousand under my hat, I'd speak with force and candor. If a special diversion in peace plan proposals is desired, we present a plan for peace in the States: Equality, Justice and the Anti-Lynching Bill. P. S. A referendum on tax reduction and the bonus. Solace may come to both modernists and fundamentalists as they observe that laymen too, are of the opinion that religious belief is something that cannot be satisfactorily kept to one's self. STRICT NEUTRALITY Alight house merely points the way To ships that daily pass it by; It's not a model on display, Although it towers towards the sky; It serves to help ships reach their goal (To use the faith that it employs, It elevates the sailor's soul Brings happiness, hope and kindred joys. A creed is but a monument Destined to guide us thru this life, It serves to coral discontent That plunges bigots into strife; It does not question nor deny And like the light house points the way. It simply states a fact, that I Accept; or else go on my way. If one can find sweet hope therein And freedom from the bitterness, I have no doubt, but that it's sin His hardened faith, to dispossess; While others fight and disagree I'm for the Creed that keeps men strong. No effort shall be made by me to prove that any belief is wrong Where They Were Born LINCOLN NEWS SERVICE Washington:—The native American colored population of New York is represented by people who were born in every state of the Union, and in our outlying possessions, including Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Panama Canal Zone, Phillipine Islands, Porto Rico, and Virgin Islands. A few were born at sea under the American flag, and several hundred, of American parentage, were born abroad. Bus Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, together, and in the order named have contributed more than all of the other states combined, the number exceeding by several thousand those who are native born New Yorkers. The population of Pennsylvania, not unlike that of New York, is composed of people from every state and from all of this American outlying possessions. Hawaii, too, has a population leads in her contribution of citizens, followed by Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina. In Illinois, persons born in Tennessee outnumber those from any other state, but are closely followed by Mississippi, which is trailed by Kentucky, Alabama, Missouri and Georgia. The colored population of Ohio owes its growth largely to Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia Virginia, and Indiana, in order that the State of Michigan whose colored population has so greatly increased during recent years, is indebted first to Georgia and then to Alabama, Tennessee Kentucky, Ohio and Mississippi, in the order named. Into Indiana has poured a steady stream of persons who were born in Kentucky, who, added to those born in Tennessee, Alabama and Tennessee, Mississippi and Illinois constitute 55 percent of the total colored population, of the "Hoosier" State.

DABNEY Virginia Union University The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has done more perhaps than any single organization to bring the subject of lynching before the American people. For a number of years the Crisis has published a list of the lynchings, the alleged crimes for the lynchings and the locality where they have occurred. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which was produced during the sixty-seventh Congress, brought the question of lynching before the nation in a dramatic fashion. With the convening of the sixty-eight Congress, H. R. I. against lynching was introduced by Hon. L. C. Dyer of Missouri. This quite naturally will bring the question of lynching again to the fore. Many panaceas have been offered as cures for lynching. At present our attention is called to an article printed in the Columbia State, South Carolina. In criticising the World's view on the remedy for lynching, this paper retorts: "We do not concede for a moment the accuracy of the World's analysis when it says the best remedy for lynching * * * is Negro migration. That is a shallow and unmoral remedy. The best remedy for lynching is the persistent working of the law-abiding civilization by covering elements of the two races for the strengthening of public opinion in their respective races against lynch law and against brutal crimes." What is the cure for lynching? Will the Dyer Bill solve this problem? Is law the remedy? The writer has little faith in law under our system of political economy as a means of solving our social and political problems. The Dyer Bill and the discussion which it has and will evoke in Congress and in the nation is helpful from the viewpoint of propaganda. In proportion educational institutions get the people to assume a sane and dispassionate attitude toward lynching and the crimes which are alleged to be the causes of lynching, it will serve a useful purpose. Neither the Dyer Bill, nor articles, nor speeches will solve this problem. But all working together can mitigate it. The most important single element in the factors for the mitigation of the problem is the dissemination of intelligence. Mobs are in order in any place where ignorance is in power. It takes time to raise the educational resources and all untwytwoorthful a people. This is being done, the Negro press, the white press, ministers, teachers and all organizations for social uplift, both North and South should co-operate with each other in creating an enlightened public opinion, and a strong sentiment against lynching. Intelligent people devoid of race hatred and traditional ideas will not be easily led to violate law by mobs. AESTHETICS AND THE STAG Holding up the Negro to ridicule and defamation has become a pastime in America in the press, on the screen and the stage. The Saturday Evening Post has printed many stories from the pen of Irvin S. Cobb, of this type. The Clansman, The Call of the South and The One woman, belong in this series. The Black Nigger, and other screen plays deal unjustly with the Negro. In some theatres it is an exception to have a complete program without one act ridiculing and making fun of the Negro. Chicken stealing, shooting craps or bumming thru life is usually the Negro's part. Such a policy on the part of theatre managers is repugnant to intelligent Negroes. Moreover, it is reprehensible to people. Such acts have no place in to-date theatre. It is ugly. It destroys the beauty of stage plays. It does not appeal to the aesthetic taste of enlightened people. Unless managers wish to cater to the Broadcasted by the School of Public Health, Howard University, Washington, . C.-Algeron B. Jatson M., D. Director, TAKING THE COUNT—CANCE Many persons do not believe in figures compiled by the bureau of Census regarding the death rate of colored people, but I know most of the men who make up the visual statistics and I wish to recommend them to you as honest, fair and minded gentlemen. Take the death rate from cancer to draw your own conclusion, and in a brief period of satisfaction, even the most sensitive matters. The death rate from cancer among Negroes is lower than that among whites. Later we may state our views as to the cause. Figures from the Bureau of the Census show that 60,993 deaths were due to cancer in the registration area in 1922, which compared about 85.2 percent of the total population of the United States and if the best of the United States had as many deaths from this cause in proportion to the population the total number of deaths from cancer in the entire country was 95,000 for 1922, against a corresponding estimate of 93,999 for 1921. High death rates from Cang The death rate from cancer in registration area in 1922 was 6 per 100,000 population, as against 86 in 1921. Only five states lower rates for 1922 than for 1921. In comparing the death rate from cancer, the bureau uses *adjacency* rates in order to make allowances for differences in the age and distribution of the population, because, generally speaking, old persons in middle life and old have cancer, so that a state with many old persons has more deaths from cancer than a state with comparatively few old persons. The highest adjusted cancer rate for 1922 is 106.9 per 100,000 population for the state of Rhode Island and the lowest is 531 for Tennessee. For a few states adjusted rates have been calculated separately for the white and colored populations. In this set of states the highest adjusted rate for the white population 92.5 per 100,000 for Maryland is the highest for the colored population 81.7, also for Maryland. The lowest adjusted rate for white is 52.8 for Tennessee and the lowest rate for colored is 40.8 for Florida. Comparative Figures Please study the following sizes estimated upon the death from cancer per 100,000 population Florida, white 63.5, colored 40 Kentucky, white 55.6, colored 50 Louisiana, white 80.7, colored North Carolina, white 57.5, Carolina white, 55.6, colored 46.1; Tennessee, white, 55.6, colored 53.0; Virginia 66.5; color 69.6. I honestly believe these figures be as nearly true as is human possible, and very shortly we shall take the count again as counting other diseases, for I want all us to know the truth and face like men and women, with the determination to increase the high and life span of a great people. rabble and ignorant group, this should eliminate any acts of satnature. The writer calls attention to aesthetic side of this question because it is a line of approach which is appealing to the average person. Beauty appeals to all of us, like harmony. We can appreciate beauty because the process and feeling almost exclusively involves how chicken steak appeals with other dramas and art features of a program! It is especially ugly and out of point. Hence the question is not more of interest to Negroes. It is broader than that. It is an artic question. All lovers of beautiful and those interested in stage plays of worth and merit are opposed to such cheap acts. AFZON Par Electrical PRODUCTS Give "The Anti-Nap Poise" SOLD BY Hunter Electric Co.
