RACE MAKES BIG GAIN IN LONG LIFE DURING PAST TEN YEARS Norfolk Journal and Guide AGED 12 PAGES IN TWO PARTS FAMILY BRAWL ENDS IN DEATH OF ONE MEMBER Sixty-five Year Old Father Fires Fatal Shot In Son's Body After Being Knocked To The Floor. DIES WHILE ENROUTE TO BRADDOCK HOSPITAL Rankin, Pa., Feb. 14—(P. N. S.)—Threatened with death by his son for interference in a quarrel, Charles Edwards, aged 65 years, of 112 Harriet street, shot and killed Jas Edwards, 30 years old, the son, in the family residence last Thursday afternoon, according to the police. The father and four other men, John Edwards, 28 years old; Frank King, 26 years old; Amos Martin, 30 years old; and Nathan West, 24 years old; who were in the Edwards home at the time of the shooting, were taken into custody and held as material witnesses, and Charles Edwards was accused of the shooting. James Edwards, whom the police declare was a dope peddler and addict, went to his home earlier that day and quarreled with his brother John. The father, it is said attempted to quiet the situation, was driven back and fought hand-to-hand with James Edwards, who struck his father with a chair. As James started to strike his father who was prostrate on the floor, a second time with the chair, the father drew a revolver and fired three shots. The son staggered to the street, where he collapsed. He died while being taken to the Braddock General hospital. Would Believe One White Man To 9 Negroes Would Believe One White Man To 9 Negroes In Chicago, the metropolis of the middle west, where many of us have been deluded in believing that "a man's a man for n' that" regardless of the hue of his skin where they use to tell us the fairy story that justice stalked images ticulat about its environs enveloping all the people within its benevolence influence, there sat a judge who was to bring the justice to the Chicago Defender, declared that he would believe the word of one white against that of nine colored men. This Chicago judge speaking directly to a Negro lawyer unhesitatingly threw insult into the faces of 12,000,000 colored Americans. He was Judge Theodore Ehler of the Morals Court and he was hearing a case in which Jimmie Hamilton a colored man, whose police man-in-law was a police man early Saturday morning and nine persons—seven men and two women—were placed under arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct. According to testimony of the officer he found nothing disorderly taking place in Hamlin's home when he invaded it. The nine person arrested proved to be friend of Hamlin and was investigating him. On the strength of the officer's testimony they were discharged. But a charge of intoxication against Hamlin was before the court and attorney Green, himself a Negro, used the nine who had been discharged as witnesses in behalf of Hamlin. Each one insisted that Hamilton was not interested at the time of his arrest. On the strength of their testimony Atty. Green addressed the court: "Your honor, I ask for, the discharge of my client based upon the face that nine witnesses have testified as to the defendant's statement which has contradicted charges made by a single witness—the police officer." The lawyer's request, brought from the judge the statement that he believed the nine witnesses were lying and that the police officer was telling the truth. Attorney Green requested the court to inform him upon what theory he arrived at the nine witnesses had when there was nothing in their testimony to indicate that fact. Judge Ehler arose from the bench and leaned across the bar and stated pointedly to the attorney: "It has been my experience in this court that colored people lie DEATH ENDS USEFUL CAREER Late Mr. John H. Washington Tuskegee Institute, Ala—At 3:30 Saturday afternoon, Mr. John H. Washington, brother of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and former Superintendent of industries at the institute, died at his home here. His funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the spacious institute chapel erected under the supervision of Mr. Washington many years ago. The entire institute bowed with reverential sorrow at the funeral bier of one whose life was in the institution thurthy years active, earnest and unselfish service. Dr. J. W. Whitaker, the institute chaplain, officiated. Under the guard of the cadet officers of the institute regiments and in the midst of beautiful flowers, banked high upon it the steel gray casket encasing the remains of Mr. Washington stood in the chapel from ten o'clock Tuesday morning until the funeral procession started from the chapel in the afternoon. Deceased Highly Respected Mr. J. H. Washington was highly respected in the Community, as was indicated by the closing of all business enterprises in the Institute community during the funeral and by the large number of friends who came from all sections of the state to pay their last respects. Another evidence was the many floral designs sent as tributes of love and esteem by friends and organizations. Dr. Moton Praises Work Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, who returned from New York City to attend the funeral, in discussing the life and work of Mr. Washington Tuesday morning spoke of his devotion to his brother and referred to his thirty-odd years of service to Tuskegee Institute, describing that both their brothers shared such other the sacricles and handships which were necessary in the founding and development of this institution." An Interesting Career Mr. Washington was born in Halesford, Virginia, 70 years ago. He was educated at Hampton Institute, graduating in 1879, after which he taught one year and held position in the United States Engineering Corps which was then occupied in the improvement of the Kanawa River, upon whose banks he was want to romp in his boyhood days. In 1885 he joined his brother at Tuskegee Institute, serving in capacity of Agent and Commandant of Cadets. Later he was relieved of these duties and appointed Superintendent of Industries, the position he held until 1915 when, following his brother's death, he suffered a general burn in health. The Trustees of the Industries in recognition of his long and valuable service to the institution voted his retirement from active service at full salary. on the slightest provocation. They will lie to the facts where the truth of his work does any harm—where there is no need to lie—and every attache of this court can bear out this statement. That is why," the court added, "that I believe one white witness against your nine." The judge sat down, Attorney Green stood speechless for moment. When he had partially recovered from the shock produced by the judge's statement he addressed the court for five minutes. His voice charged with anger resounded thru the courtroom. It was heard in the corridors as he made this judge. Your honor, I am surprised that any judge sitting in the bench, FATHER ADDRESSES THE LEGISLATURE OF MISSISSIPPI Lawmakers at the Home Of Vardaman and Other Avowed Race Enemies Listen To Speech Of a Colored Man. POINTS OUT INEQUITY OF RACE RELATIONS Jackson, Miss, Fcb.-(A.N.P.) Robbed of one-tenth of her Negro population in one year by the fairer charm of Northern industry, a runner-up for lynchings honors during 1923, the home of Vardaman and other obstacles to Colored or white American progress, Mississippi changed her course for a short while this week while the representatives of her sovereignty admitted to their presence in the region, the negro population the submerged half of her population, the Negro, and listened to a recital of the Negro's bone for the future of the state. The Negro to address both houses of the legislature was S. D. Redmond. He was accompanied by E. W. Garnes, L. M. Flurney, L. K Atwood, E. L. Patton, Solonion Ward, G. M. R. Husband, W. L. Varmado, A. J. Johnson, R. T. Sims, A. J. Howard, G. W. Miller, S. H. C. Owen, G. W. Williams and E. B. Topp. The Daily News of this city, in commenting on the address delivered by Redmond, declared that such an event might not have been possible fifteen or twenty years ago, and continued: "Redmond delivered an admirable address to each body. He was fair, logical and convincing throut, and it is unquestionably a fact that when he finished the playmakers better and more comprehensive view of the educational and industrial phases of the race question than ever before." Mr. Redmond's address covered the entire gamut of inter-racial relations in the state, the evil of lynching in which Mississippi is among the foremost, the problem of education, in which she is most backward; the display of crime among blacks and white citizenry; the care of criminals, the sick, the insane, and suffrage. The discrepancy in education programs was also emphasized. With the population of the state practically fifty per cent Negro, Mr. Redmond told the lawmakers that there were practically one thousand high schools for white children and none for blacks; same gap existed as far as agricultural schools, seminaries, and colleges were concerned. The Negro, he declared, was taxed and his money went to build white schools. In the case of Rosenwald schools, Mr. Redmond pointed out the Negro was assessed one tax which went to support white schools, and another tax to build the adequate school buildings, thus paying no taxes without getting the oust to have. The lawmakers were asked to favor the Negro by applying to his educational needs as much as he paid in taxes for the same. Absence of reformatories for Negro youths, sanatoriums for the tubercular, asylums for the insane, Negro nurses for Negro patients, of probationary officers, of adequate means for suppressing the alcoholic liquors, and attendant evil were covered in Mr. Redmond's address. While the legislature of the state was listening to Mr. Redmond, one of the state's representatives in the national congress was helping to kill the appropriation for Howard University. is supposed to be fair and impartial, should use the color of witnesses as one of the tests for their credibility. The supreme court has said color should not be made a test of credibility, and further that vacity on one hand and periptery on the other are attributes that belong to no particular race "Recently," the attorney reminded, "the greatest wrong. None a people was done by the living and perjured testimony of a white witness in court." "I mean that such has been my experience in this court," Judge Ehler interrupted.

Fordsview, New Home Site For Race People Paige's Baseball Park And Surrounding Property Being Developed For Colored Humes. A new residential site for colored homes seekers and investors which promises to be one of the most select in Tidewater, is now available on the Berkley side of the river. It is Fordview and is located within five minutes walk from Newport Park and the Poor property where the Detroit manufacturer is planning to establish a unit of his nation-wide industrial interests. Fordview comprises a tract of thirty acres of high and well drained land including Paige's baseball park and extending from Berkley avenue to Newton Creek known to old-timers, as Steamboat creek. It is the property of the Paige family who have formed the Paige's Incorporated with attorney R. G. L. Paige as president, for developing it. The land has already been platted, streets are laid off and being graded. According to the plans of the owners each street is to be fifty feet wide including a drive foot sidewalk on each street, will be plotted along the streets and fronting on Berkley avenue the entire length of the property will be set out a fence of box hedges. Three Hundred Lots Three Hundred Lots Three hundred lots 25 to 30 feet by 100 feet have been stowed off and are now moving off for sale for residences, business, investments or industrial purposes on the installment payment plan. Fordsworth is within in the city limits; city water mains and electric wires run up to the sites. It is accessible by Berkley avenue street car, by auto thru Campestella boulevard, which runs within few yards of the place, or it can be reached on foot from Church and Queen street directly thru Queen street within about 45 minutes. It is separated from Newton this or any other, white people will lie just as quickly and colored people tell the truth just as quickly as the white or any other race. And you have no right as a judge to decide any point in any case on the color of the witnesses, and if that is he way your honor feels, I say it most. Since your honor feels as you do, I am constrained to withdraw from this case and leave my client alone and helpless before you." Attorney Green then seized his (Continued on Page Two) ```markdown ``` Chicago, Private Secretary to Billy n. She is an accomplished business New Home Race People Park, a restricted white residential area which is being beautifully developed only by a narrow neck of the creek. On either side restricted property adjoins it, which makes it the only desirable home site available to colored people on the Berkley side within the city corporation. The owners state that restrictions in the side terms which altho be liberal will serve to maintain Fordsview as a high class community. Moreover, it is the intention to strive to make it one of the most attractive colored communities in the state. The physical characteristics of Fordsview make of it a beautiful site even without a single building of any kind located on it. The entire tract is surrounded by the edges where it slopes gracefully into branches of the creek. By this shape a year-round drainage is carried on. Increase In Value Certain On account of being within close proximity to Henry Ford's proposed plant it is believed that the property will rapidly increase in value and will readily become settled with a most desirable element of people. Applications for Ford's plant have already been received in this city and work on the buildings will probably begin very soon. In this event Fordview will receive a decided boom. By trotley car, Fordview is at about 20 minutes from the heart of the business district of Norfolk city and less than a quarter of an hour by automobile.

REPUBLICANS OUTLAW ACTION OF PETERSBURG Convention Held In Private Hotel Where Race Voters Were Barred Declared Illegas Delegates Not Seated. RACE DELEGATE SECONDS NOMINATION Ronoke, Va.-The Virginia State, Republican Convention held here Tuesday, February 5th was a distinct contrast from what was expected and to that held at Norfolk a few years ago where it is alleged, colored delegates were excluded.

Only one contest was filed, in the case of the colored and white delegates of Petersburg, the committee on credentials refused to allow the district convention was held in a private hotel where colored people were not admitted. In the early stages of the convention, the nomination of the candidate for Congress was seconded by a color administrator Mr. W. H. F. Crowell, from the Sixth District, who also spoke at length on the issue and received the first round of amplause for the day. Numerous resolutions were introduced and adopted, endorsing the present administration and also calling for stricter enforcement of the jaws regardless of race creed or color. C.

When George came to Texas from France, truffle more than 95 years ago he picked cotton and did old jobs on a Texas plantation for his master until the Civil war broke out. A middle-aged man at that time he had charge of 125 Negroes on a plantation. After the war, George rented a farm and for some 38 years was an independent farmer.

Jersey City, N. J.—The failure of Mrs. Mary Cannon Spraggins to appear last Tuesday morning in the court of chancery and the request of her attorney the former Judge George G. Tennant, appearing before Vice Chancellor Bentley, missed against her husband the former Counsellor Traverse A. Spraggins, brings wide comment, after the long bill of complaint filed at the former hearing in January. Counsellor Spraggins, was prepared to file counter charges, and was heard to say that there was no foundation whatever for the charges contained in the bill. By the former Judge Richard Doherty. In addition to the suit just dismissed another chancery action in which the husband on one side and Mrs. Spraggins and her brother, Dr. George E. Cannon on the other are contending for the right to have the cash $4000,00 which is now in the hands of the court pending a decision as to its possession.

Both Fielder and the counsel for Mrs. Spraggins, were personal friends of Wilson. Judge Tennant headed the Jersey delegation to go to Washington, D. C. to attend the funeral last week. REPORTS SHOW LONGER LIFE FOR COLORED PEOPLE Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's Statistical Division Reports That Race Death Rate Is Reduced. EDUCATION IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTING FACTOR New York, N. Y.—Outlook for a longer life for the average American Negro is very bright, obtained by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's statistical division reveal. This tendency reflects a far reaching change in the economic and social life of America today, in the opinion of Dr. Louis I. Dublin, Statistician. Briefly stated, the life span of the American Negro has been lengthened by five years during the last decade. This is due to two great factors. First of these is the increasing interest on the part of the organized public health movement in the well-being of the Negro and more especially the nursing health service. The second is the awakening of the Negro race to its opportunities for better conditions of life and labor. While the death rate among the Negro population is still in excess of that among white persons, the gap is gradually being lessened. Control is being gained over tuberculosis, typhoid fever malaria and other diseases which caused high death rates among Negroes ten years ago. This is being brought about by the Negroes themselves, Dr. Dublin believes, through their press and other facilities for teaching prevention measures, as was shown by our public health agencies. The condition of the Negro in towns and cities of the North as well as the South is much improved in recent years, and Dr. Dublin's studies indicate that the improvement will probably continue. Steady Improvement Concerta figures regarding the health and life span are found in the records of Negroes insured by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Most of these are dwellers in communities. In 1911 and 1912, it is shown, the colored boy or girl ten years old could expect to live an average of 41 years and two months more. In 1922 the Negro girl could expect to live 46 years and nine months longer, an increase of about $5\frac{1}{2}$ years. The Negro girl who became ten years old in 1922, according to these studies, might expect to live 46 additional years, or nearly as long as her brother. As compared with the outlook among the white persons, this gain in the span of the average colored man's life was only slightly lower. And colored girls were found to have prospect of an average gain of a year and four months over white girls of the same age. Automobile owners of the city have found in the Trubpruf tire a real necessity since it was first introduced here. They find that these new tires eliminate many bothers which accompany the use of ordinary tires. First use of the novel tires was only for experimental purposes. Following the discovery that it would not only give us unusual ice, but also hold its form and demand less attention than a rushing increase in the demand for the present time the present Tire & Rubber Company, making facilities in order to meet the call for their product. Management of the company report that sales in the South reached the million dollar mark prior to the close of 1923 and that the output of the factory, one of the most modern in the country, is being taken in record shipments. Ford dealers have been especially active in the trend towards equiping automobiles with Trubpruf. As an example: In England, out of 348 Ford dealers, 290 have stocked and are selling Trubpruf tires.

The accused men denied they were gambling, each testifying it was not a game of chance they were playing. This Norfolk judge listened patiently to all of the testimony, and finally said, "the commonwealth has not made out a case." Last Monday morning four colored men and two colored women faced the same judge on a charge of disorderly conduct.

All of the defendants denied the testimony — the four men and two women. Justice R. B. Spindle weigh in on the evidence carefully with the testimony and colored people's testimony and finally announced. "Dismissed." No color question entered his mind regarding the evidence in either case. Both were decided purely on the merits, and this took place a thousand miles south of Chicago. But these occurrences are by no means unusual in Judge Spindle's court. Here is a place where law and not prejudice is administered. Neither undue leniency nor undue punishment is handed out. It has now become common knowledge that R. B. Spindle is indeed a judge worthy of wearing the name.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1924 NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE The Chicago race riot raged during the week July 27 August 2, 1919. THE NEGRO IN CHICAGO was published September, 1922. The book is the production of the Commission on Race Relations appointed by the governor of Illinois to study the cause and cure for then recent Chicago outbreak, and similar clashes between the races. The volume of 772 pages sets forth the result of three years' careful study and deliberation. The lack of logical sequence and integral treatment is the inevitable result of composite authorship. The conclusions are conservative and sincere, and represent the patriotic purpose and balanced judgment of a mixed commission. During the past year since the appearance of this volume, it has elicited many reviews, criticisms, and discussions. The chief value of a belated review is to point out the permanent merits of the contribution as disentangled from the painful incidents of the excited hour. The book is notable in that it is the only document of its kind based upon the joint study and reflection of the two races co-equal in numbers, competency, and authority. The limited value of the reports of committees on race relations in the South grows out of the recognized inferior position of the Negro conferences as compared to their white conferences. I norder that the results of negotiation between two groups may be genuine and trustworthy, the negotiants on both sides must feel perfectly free, and must be absolutely equal in their representative capacity.

The local facts brought out are typical of like conditions in a dozen northern cities; while the conclusions are applicable to any municipality with a large and rapidly increasing number of Negroes. Wherever causes are alike, consequences will be similar. The provoking cause of race antagonism is not conditioned by lines of latitude or political] alignment, but by the relative number of the disfavored race in a given population. The Negro receives greatest toleration where his numbers are negligible; race prejudice strengthens as his numbers multiply. The issue becomes most acute where the numbers are competitive. We have already had a sufficient number of race outbreaks, widely distributed in time and space, to determine the underlying cause and its mode of operation. Wilmington, Atlanta, East St. Louis, Chicago, Washington, and Tulsa are indicative of the outburst of the wrath of race during the past quarter of a century. They all come suddenly as a thief in the night, and are crevive as the volcano cumiting pent up fires. We can no more predict the time or place of the next outbreak then we can foretell the next volcanic eruption. We may predict, however, that these outbreaks are to be occasionally expected, that their dura- Factory Clearance Sale Trunks And Bag THE LEATHER GIFT STORE Rountree's 424 Granby Street-Opp. Granby Theatre Next Door to Hicks Gas Appliance Store RUXTUN Having TRUX Great Redu hundred and Fifty-th and Cold Water, MODERN TEN-RO CASH PAYMENT TRUXTUN TRUXTUN PROPERTIES of the Corporation, Key Road, Truxtun, Va.

This will continue until we learn more than we now know of the underlying cause, and its control. Psychology is the determining-factor in race relations. It is a question of attitude, or rather of attitudes. Just how race prejudice was acquired, within what limits it is modifiable, and just what influences will control it within these limits, would furnish a theme for interesting and curious speculation. We do know that it is a stubborn and persistent fact, and does not yield to any of the formulas of treatment yet devised. The fact that the so-called Nordic races exhibit race prejudice more rapidly than other European stocks of the same color indicates that it may not be a hopelessly incurable malady. The practical problem which confronts the student of race adjustment is to understand the nature and extent of race prejudice, to withstand its malignity as far as possible, and to stand the residue that may not be withstood. The Chicago riot was based, in slight part, on the battle for bread which always bring out the primitive brutality of human nature.

The climax of horror would doubtless occur if the battle for bread became identical with the prejudice of race; but fortunately this did not happen in Chicago, and is not likely to happen elsewhere. The Negro is essentially a laborer, and basically his cause is in common with that of his co-laborer of white hue. At the same time he is as malleable as putty in the hands of the white triangular. The capitalist occupies triangular. The capitalist occupies the apex while the white workman and the Negro hold the basil angles.

Athletes who win great reputation through theirazzling and consistent playing claim that a reputation calls for more than they are capable of doing. As a proof of their assertions they cite the few instances where athletes have been able to win a championship or stand out brilliantly for more than two successive years. On many occasions have events been lost through the means what is termed a reputation, on numerous occasions it has been misfitable to suggest that a player presents himself with the most intersubstitute chances of success by his wholesome fear of the reputation of the man who has a way of putting it, as we scribes have been long before he entered the competition. The same things hold true for teams as well as for individual athletes. Athletes have found opportunities to allow their minds to dwell so long and profoundly upon the prospect of the task before them that they have worked their nerves into a state of frazelle, and when the game commences they have not got a winning edge, but they have seen athletic celebrities taking part in in some contest in which they would appear to be attempting to play just about as indifferently as it was possible for them to play. But could the opponents take advantage of their numerous and cooperative skills, or quit? The wuest the man with the reputation plays the more hopeless does the weaker man become, and the experience is all the more bitter to him in that he has been presented with an excellent chance of success, and he would probably say, "If we did well he would like that it would be better different." But, on the other hand, if he, the weaker man, had given his opponent more opposition, it is likely that "Powder River" Coming To Attucks Prince Algernon Johnson Post, No 1076, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Bringing Thrilling War Picture Uptown. The war pictures which are to be shown by the P. A. Johnson, Post No. 1076, V. F. W. at the Attack Theatre, on Monday, Tuesday, day and Wednesday promises to give the theatre goers a thrill that even D. W. Griffith's master productions have been unable to register. These pictures are the only official and authentic ones that have ever been released by the U. S. War Department at Washington and are shown only by Veteran Organizations. These were all taken in France by the U. S. army signal corps, and have been assembled so that they form the complete history of America's part in the World War. The camera men worked under conditions of terror. Whilst the camera quietly clicked, the machine guns and rifle fire played a mad staccade and overhead the big Bertha belched for death and devastation on Flanders field as shrapnel sang a song of fate. These fearless young Yanks helped record the deeds that made it possible to say that she should have been killed. The battlefields where bloody action raged for days are not the only feature of the films—there will be shown wonderful views of the ruined art places and razed cathedrals of sunny France. To the average American, very little, if any, is known of the Photographic Section of the Signal Corps: this unit composed of men who, at the outbreak of the war, left the large moving picture studios of America and went to France attached to the U. S. Signal Corps, that they may record many heroic actions of militant units. This unit of but 473 men made their headquarters at Vincennes, France, where well equipped laboratories were established; after which the work of securing educational history was begun. Parties of three—usually a Lieutenant—an expert inphotography, a Sergeant, and a Corporal, started out in a car with their Standard and Pathe cameras and a goodly supply of films, with orders to "shoot" whatever pictures they could of the front lines. No matter under what circumstances these are used, they were orders—orders that he be obeyed. The remarkable results of their work is shown in "Powder River," which clearly proves that they constantly risked their lives, that America might see just how her glorious troops turned what seemed certain defeat, into never-to-be-forgotten victory. Thursday at the Attucks, the big society picture, "You Can't Fool Your Wife," will be the feature. This picture should be seen by every man who would like to hide a time or another to have a few things from his spouse and by every man in town who has a husband and every woman who ever hopes to have a husband. Husbands and wives see this picture and get wise. Friday and Saturday.

The, too, the man with the reputation becomes lassless and satisfied with his past performances and is unable to maintain his fortune in athlete o - a team will defeat another athlete or another team one time and turn around and lose the next time just because the reputation won gets them overconfident, carless, and incautious. He will lose and when asked about it will reply: "Oh, I don't care whether I wn this time or not, and I have won my reputation." And the character of his later play goes a long way to prove that he didn't care. While, however, it may often happen that an athlete is abruptly trumped out of any chance he may have ever had by the weighty influence of the reputation of his opponent, on the other hand there is an entirely different aspect in regards to this matter of reputation and its influence upon the performance, and this lies in the situation when the player is frightened in regard to his own reputation. More than likely the athlete who wears the laureate wrench is now a life prize to almost completely fail to do his powers justice. Often, too, a player carrying a tremendously important and feared reputation has failed, or as is seemed in the eyes of the public. The pure truth about it being that he could not shoulder the reputation which his friends and admirers had placed upon him. Even the athlete may do very much in the in, the way of aiding his team to win, if he does not come up to the standards set by his reputation he is usually cursed out by every member of the "Benevolent Order of Know Everything". Yet a reputation has its good reputation the fee that if a fellow of it might sort he will strive to live up to the reputation he has won and thereby do possibly greater things than before, or at least he will not become worst. of Jazz," will be the attraction which promises to be a highly en tertaining one. 'Bluebeard's 8th Wife' Portsmouth Colonial Glorious Gloria Swanson in "Bluebeard's 8th Wife" will head the bill at the Portsmouth Colonial Monday and Tuesday of next week. You will see Gloria Swanson at her arrivals best in this Prech comedy—drama of a girl who learned on her wedding night that she had married a twentyth century Bluebeard, with seven divined wives. You'll see her in the most alluring towns ever designed, in the splendid haunches, of starling scenes and gorgous setings, of sensations that pile up with breathless swiftness. You'll see society revelling in pleasure parties of reckless extravagance and unending surprises, with the exclusive beach resorts of France and the palaces of the rich as the background, culminating in an Egyptian fictional that marks the last word in settings costumes and thrills. Without doubt, is the top-notch of all Swanson pictures, the most memorable. To avoid the rush at the evening showing of this great photo play, the management urges all to attend the daily matinee.

MOREHOUSE DEFEATS MORRIS BROWN 48-14 For the second time this season the Morehouse basketball proved themselves the masters of Morris Brown. In an attack that swept everything in front of them, Morehouse rolled up a lop-sided score of 48-14. Morehouse showed the spectators the prettiest pass work of the season—a place for every man and every man in his place. The team played as a well-oiled unit. Morris Brown started the brews with two baskets, but before she could make another basket, Morehouse made 33 points. Morehouse did not let up in the second stanza. Sykes led the paddle with nine points. Clark and Trayler were stepping on his heels with eight points each. Capt. Gayles played his usual good game when at once. Word and William of Browns Brown were the stars of their team. THE LINEUP NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE M--- What's The Object ALANDED THIS JOB WELL DEPARTMENT MORNING NOW I MADAM WILL LET HOME!

Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament In Atlanta Atlanta University, Morris Brown and Morehouse Colleges and Clark University Participate. By L. Slater Baynes Atlanta, Ga.—The Atlanta basketball fans received a treat when the high powers in the basketball world decided to hold an Intercollegiate Tournament at the Clark Gymnasium on Feb. 8th and 9th more than a total of 2500 people witnessed the brilliant exhibition of brain braun between Morehouse College, Atlanta University, Morris Brown, and Clark University. Never before in Atlanta's athletic history has the elite turned out in such large numbers to watch the caged gladiatorial contests. The consensus of opinion ran true to form when Morehouse walked away with the Silver Trophy. Morehouse marched iron-sand over her opponents. Clark sprang up to praise by the University's very close score. "Ubbb" Johnson, from Fisk University, of football fame has done wonders in the short time he has been coaching at Clark. It is hoped that the Intercollegiate Tournament will be an annual affair. As has already been stated, Morehouse won first honors; Morris Brown and Atlanta tied for second honors; and Clark brought up the rear guard. The games were as follows: ATLANTA UNIVERSITY WINS FROM CLARK 21-15 In a slam bang highly sensitized game Atlanta University won a close victory over Clark University 21-19. The game was ever in doubt. The first half ended with the Crimson Hurricane in a first half Atlanta University presented a highly developed passing attack by James unanimously making the large round basketball wend its cheerful way through the hoop which has been provided by a thoughtful designer. In the second half they kept abreast of each other and it was necessary to play two extra five minute periods in order to untie the score. In the last minute of play Atlanta looped a long one giving her the victory. Swan did some remarkably offensive work for Clark. THE LINEUP Atlanta Univ. Clark Univ. Jackson (c) Perry F.

Morris Brown returned in the cage with blood in her eyes with a strong determination to smother Clark. She took the lead at once and Clark was playing back up at the end of the game. Johnson and Swan were the outstanding players for Clark. Word and Lee were the high point man for Morris Brown. THE LINE UP Morris Brown Clark Univ. Word, (c) F. Jackson, (c) Williams F.

The Basketball Event In Atlanta MOREHOUSE TRAMPLES ATLANTA UNIVERSITY The apex of the tourney was reached when the ancient rivals, Morehouse College and Atlanta University clashed. The game was white hot from beginning to end. Not in two years had these two teams met, and they immediately tried to make up for lost time by packing four games in forty minutes. The Crimson Hurricane was turned back a gentle zephyr by the onslaught of the Maroon Tiger. When the smoke of battle cleared away Morehouse was the victor by the large score of 37-18. The first half was permeated with much passing and guarding and very little shooting. At the turn the score was 11-5 with the Morehouse Tigers in the lead. Coach Harvey during the rest period, evidently gave his proteges 'shoot to kill' instructions. It was a whale of a troop that the tigers gave in the second. The balloon-like pillar was sunk again and again. Capt. Gayles was high-point man for Morehouse with 5 baskets and three free throws. Traylor was next, with 3 baskets and one free throw.

OFFICIAL WAR DEPARTMENT FILMS OF THE game in Philadelphia, alumni of both institutions have been insisting that future games ought to be staged in New York. They point to the fact that accommodations are available in New York which do not prevail in any other city; and that there is more opportunity for recreation, both before and after the game than is possible elsewhere. There has been started a well determined agitation on the part of the alumni of both institutions, who live in and around the Metropolis, to induce the authorities of the two schools to consent to have the gamesplayed at either one of the big parks in New York. They claim it is almost self-evident that the American Metropolis is in New York, and the large amount of territory which is adjacent to New York, together with the facilities for reaching this city from other points, make the American Metropolis the ideal place for holding the games. They recognize the fact that New York is not strictly within college atmosphere of either school, but they are not unmindful of the fact that both schools are sadly in need of funds to carry on a comprehensive athletic program. Neither school has adequate training facilities for any of the great sports, and if the two schools, which today occupy common grounds, are not recognized by the big colleges of country, are to hold what they already have, and gain higher footholds in the athletic world, they must adopt some policy, for the present at least, that will give them the revenue to carry out a program which will be in keeping with their scholastic standing. In addition to this it is believed that the large number of visitors who attend these games, and which is growing by leaps and bounds each year, would much prefer to be in New York for this game than in Philadelphia for a game who make long journeys for classic, and who do not happen to have friends in either Washington, Philadelphia, there is no other attraction for them during their stay except the game itself, for Washington affords practically no means of diversion or entertainment and those in Philadelphia are sure that York the stranger can always find something to make his stay wort while.

S.)—Latest plans for the proposed heavyweight battle between Harry Wills, the "Brown Panther," and Luis Angel Firpo, the South American giant, provide for the contest, if it materializes, to be held either in Pennsylvania or Connecticut, probably on July 19. This information was divulged here Friday by Billy McCarney, Firpo American representative in the negotiations with Lew Raymond, who is seeking a match on behalf of a syndicate of Eastern millionaries. According to McCarney, it is planned to arrange the bout for a site in Pennsylvania just across the Delaware River from Trenton, N. J., or near Hartford, Conn. When Good Little Men Meet Good Big Men In Prize Ring New York, Feb. 14—(P. N. S.)—"A Good Big Man Can Beat a Good Little Man," is an epigram of Jack Johnson, former heavy champ, which has probably circled the globe. This trite saying was given out more than decade ago, in fact almost a score of years ago, and ink-spillers, sometimes called scribes have agreed with the Johnsonian theory. But here's the rub—how about this: A good little man beat a good big man when, "Little Chocolate, beat Frank Erne; a good little man beat a good big man when Langford, then a middle weight, almost annihilated Joe Jeanneette; a good, or rather, a marvellous little man beat a good big man when Charley Mitchell, of England, staged a 21-round draw with John L.

S.)—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, said Wednesday that his first fight in a long time would be with Homer Smith, the "Michigan Chopping Block," at Montreal, on March 1. Johnson is training earnestly for the mill and should be in good shape for it. Smith's chief claim to fame is his ability to assimilate punishment. He has met the best in the world, including Jack Dempsey, Firpo, Tommy Gibbons, Billy Miske, and a host of others. His experience will be a big asset in his fight against Johnson. The former champion hopes to make so impressive a showing that he will get other leading American heavies in the ring with him. VA. & I: I. HONORS FOOTBALL WARRIORS VA. & I: I. HONORS FOOTBALL WARRIORS By Wiley A. Half Petersburg, Virginia.—On Tuesday evening, January 29th, at the request of the Athletic Association, the faculty and student body of Va. Normal assembled in the chapel to do honor to the varsity and squad which so creditably represented the orange and blue on the 1922 iron. Chairman Rodgers of the Athletic Committee presided, and gave a brief review of the 1922 season. A representative of the 1924 high School team, which won the championship in 1922, presented the silver cup to a representative of the 1925 class team, this team having defeated all other contenders for the cup in 1923. Coach Graves showed very conclusively that he was an orator as well as a football coach, when he spoke on "Football as a Character Builder." In no uncertain terms he showed how prowess on the gridiron was but the foundation of prowess in the battles of life, and how the player who follows the rules of the game will be the man to follow the golden rules in whatever he enters, and will therefore succeed. The members of the varsity, D. D. Davis and L. G. Baker, gave shot addresses on School Spirit and the "Greater V. N. I. I," respectively. It had been previously decided by the Athletic Committee that the following system of awards would be come operative this year: For the first year on the varsity the player would be awarded a sweater bearing the monogram; for the second year on the varsity, a blanket with monogram; for the third year, a sweater (collar attached) with monogram; and for the fourth year the player will receive a gold football with monogram, the years of membership on the varsity, and the players initials. In accordance with these regulations, President Gandy, in characteristic manner, made the following awards: sweaters—Capt Ferrell, Epps, Walker, Slaughter Samuel (trainer), Davis, Thompson, H. E. Smith, Tynes, Edwards, Cotman, Blankets—Tom Brown, Dan Brown, Capt-elect E. Ross, Tompkins, Baker, Turner and Jack Coles. The exercises were followed by the annual banquet tendered the varsity, squad, victorious class team and their friends. Amidst a sumptuous repast, W. A. Hall spoke on "What it means to be on the All-Association eleven, and the significance of the monogram". Dan Brown gave the lessons learned from the past season, and Capt.elect Ross closed the affair with an inspiring outlook for the coming season. Nortolk Beats McCreary In Snappy Bout --- Boston, Mass, Feb. 14—(P. N. S.)—Kid Norfolk, scrapy New Yorker, won the decision in ten rounds over his rival, Battlet McCreary of Boston, before the Suffolk Club in Mechanics' Building here Friday night. The battle was full of action from the opening gong until the final moment of the combat. Both men fought hard and determinedly and several times Norfolk appeared to have his man on the verge of a knockout. McCreary, however, showed unusual gameness, coming back time and time again and making a real go of it all the way. A. & T. Basketeers Triumph Over Lutheran 34-12 Greensboro, N. C.—The "count-sweepers" completely stunned the spirit in the Lutheran players in a very hot contest January 30, winning from them by an ample margin of 34-12. In the first of the game, Lutheran showed great spirit and some skill and ability, which lasted only for a few moments, for when the A. & T. quintette began to exhibit a few of their easy but skillful tricks they immediately reconciled themselves to the situation. SHAW WINS FROM A. & T. COLLEGE SHAW WINS FROM A. & T. COLLEGE By John T. Doler, Jr. Raleigh, N. C. Feb. 11—In the first game of the season that was played at home, the Shaw "Bears" crumpled the aggressive A. & T. Five to the score of 20 to 14. The game presented many thrills from start to finish, for were it not the diligent guarding of Capt. Hicks and Mitchell, the powerful Lane would have had a clean sweep, A. & T. though defeated, put up a great fight, but at no time did their score tie those of the "Bears." The scoring started, one minute after the game began, by Lytle, who was "in his office" all during the game, caging one from the sideline. This was followed tho, by a dazzling dribble upfloor from center, them neatly caged by Lane. There were many tries for goal after this but neither team had much success, which reminds us that both teams need much practice in shooting. The first half ended 10 to 6 in favor of Shaw. A. & T. RETURN FOR THE SPoILS In the second half A. & T. returned with vengeance in their eyes, but this had no effect on Shaw, for they were out for victory and could not stop without it. In this half Lytle, Forte, Falkener, and Lewis dropped them in from every angle. A. & T. however played a stellar game, Lane and Streeter easily the stars for them. Shaw had no outstanding stars, but played with such organized teamwork that every lover of sports received pleasure from watching them. Nevertheless it must not be overlooked that Lewis who was substituted during the last five minutes of the game, scored three field goals. THE LINEUP Shaw—20 A. & T.—14 Lytle F. Streeter Falkener F. Lane Fante C. Lytle, R. Hicks G. Foust Mitchell G. Koregay Referee: Dr. Watts, (Howard); umpire I. Cook, (Shaw). Scorers; Green, Byrum. Timekeepers: Dr. Perry; J. Doles. In the preliminaries the Shaw Freshmen shut out the Berry O' Kelley School 12 to 0. Diamond of Shaw was easily the star. BATILING SIKI BEATS JOE SMITH IN N. Y. Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 14—(P. N. S.)—Battling Siki won the decision over Joe White of Alabama here Friday night in their 10-round fight. Siki scored knockdowns in the first, second and third rounds all for the count of eight, and led throughout the remaining seven rounds. Siki weighed 177 pounds and White 197. Panther Quintet Defeats Sem. By Chester L. Washington Richmond, Va.—The sterling Panther quintet of Virginia Union University defeated the Lynch burg Seminary and College five in a thrilling though one-sided game at Johnson's auditorium last Sat- sarday night by the score of 21 to 7. With W. Jackson, Allen, Gregory, B. Brown and J. Brown playing stellar roles for Union and Whidbee and Steptoe doing the bulk of the visitors work, the Union machine rode on to victory. Premier Society Club Invades Literary Field In Montclair, N.J. C. BION JONES Brooklyn, N. Y.—The very elite and popular Premier Society Club of Brooklyn, N. Y. journeyed to Montclair, N. J. last Sunday, February 3, to present a program before the Epworth League of St. Marks M. E. Church of that city The club members had full charge of the program and the following numbers were presented to a very large audience, with Mr. George A Dream Comes True For many years the men of Norfolk have wished for a Tonsorial Parlor which would be strictly first-class in every respect. We know that we have some nice barber shops, but to have everything which goes with a first class Tonsorial Parlor—such as hot and cold baths, shower baths and first-class tonsorial artists is something we have not had. Messrs. John H. Boone and Joseph A. Jones have planned and will open a shop of this kind at 623 Queen Street, March 1, 1924. The fixtures are now being installed, second to none in the city—and artists have been employed second to none anywhere. Special attention will be given to the bobbing of ladies and Children's hair. If you would enjoy real service in a real tonsorial parlor, you are extended a cordial invitation to visit our parlor. BOONE AND JONES 632 Queen Street. Norfolk, Va. H. Harris, Jr., as master of ceremonies. Numbers presented were: piano selection by Mr. Charles E. Smith; vocal solo, Mr. Clarence F. Carter; essay, Mr. George H. Bland; violin solo, Mr. H. Lester Kearns; reading by Mr. William B. Whiting; saxophone solo, Mr. Robert H. Whiting; a paper by Mr. Sumner F. White, violin solo, A. Arnold Amos, Jr.; the program concluded with another piano rendition by Mr. Charles E. Smith. The response was given by one of the officers of the league and words of commendation to the highest degree were given these promising young men for their valuable services. The club will render another dramatic and musical program next Sunday afternoon, February 17th, in Washington, D. C., and in the evening in Baltimore, M. This club is only about four months old, but has conducted some of the social and very petite affairs given in the metropolitan section, and their drawing from the yonger set and widely known leaders of society in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Jersey and Connecticut bespeaks its value in the social world. Jersey City Sports COLONIAL A. C. LEADING IN SPORTS C. HON JONES C. BON JONES Jersey City, N. J. The Colonials scored another victory last Thursday night, after travelling to far distant Orange Armory defeated the Tuxedo Arrows Eastern Lightweight Champions, by a score of 25-15. The Colonials played on the defense for the first half and it seemed as though they were to be defeated, the half ending with the Tuxedos 11, Colonials 8. The old Orange Armory roots went wild, but old Jersey City made herself heard by her staunch and loyal bunch of rooters. Bill Stevens and Dick Seay started a basket shooting contest in the second half which the Tuxedos tried to stop but all in vain, and the couple scored basket after basket. Capt. "Pie" Jones, Happy Brown, Al Rainey, "Brick" Lewis, and "Hy" Williams were all given due credit by Manager Palmer who seemed to be very pleased with the showing his boys made. The final score, Colonials 25; Tuxedos 15. The new Champions, said Manager Palmer, will defend their new title very shortly so watch this paper for our next game. The team is promoted by the lover of sports, John W. Barnes, who saw the possibility of a creditable team for Jersey City and under the hard and efficient management of Elmer Palmer and Ambrose Seymour, assistant, has made this record. INDEPENDENTS TO PLAY LINCOLN UNIVERSITY The Independents will meet the Lincoln University Reserves on Lincoln's Birthday night at Columbia Hall, Ocean and Cator Ave. Jersey City, and the preliminary game will be played by the fast Mysterious Five.

Well Known Woman of Virginia Tell of Her Experience as Fellows Back in 1922 I was almost an invalid from female trouble. I was in my early thircles, but felt and looked like an anyone, but I never wanted to go anywhere. And I ever took for any one to talk to me, for I was in pain all the time. I was so nervous I could not bear for anyone to walk across a lot of other women; I knew what was wrong with me but I didn't know what to do for myself. One day the mail man brought in a letter containing a statement I described my case to a "T." After reading it, I decided I would give Pelto treatment. The action of this wonderful treatment was like maric. I began to improve from the first dose, and I kept a strong, active woman, and feel like a sixteen-year old girl. Words are too weak to express my appreciation for what your excellent treatment has done to me. Yours very truly. (Signed) MUS. ELIZABETH MULLINS.

New High School To Open Doors To Classes Next Week EQUIPTMENT TO BE PLACED IN A FEW MORE DAYS After 41 years Of Service Old Building Will Graduate No More High School Students; Many Able Men Have Rendered Service Between Its Walls. Students and faculty of the Booker T. Washington high school are preparing to enter the new half million dollar school building next week. The high school department is about completed and ready to receive classes. The elementary department will not be in condition to admit students in a few weeks yet, it is said. This, the largest school building in the city and contains 60 rooms under a single roof in which are to be housed high school, grammar school and vocational school. On account of overcrowded conditions in the colored schools of the city as many as 3,000 students have been on part time at various periods of the session this year. The opening of the new school will greatly relieve this situation, although it is believed that there will still be need for the old high school building, probably for some of the grades. It has not been learned yet, however, just what disposition the school authorities intend to make of the old school. The last graduating class, or at least the last high school graduating class, went out of Booker T. Washington high school on Princess Anne avenue two weeks ago for all time. And now after 41 years of service it is threatened with abandonment or to never to send out another graduate in the cap and gown. SERVED FOR 41 YEARS Thru 41 years, many of which have been fraught with racial bitterness, misunderstanding, dis trust and strife, it has stood and beckoned the youth of the colored race to come unto it and partake of the feast of learning and understand better themselves and other men. In 1888, 18 years after the close of the war between the states this building was erected as Norfolk Mission College by the United Presbyterian Church for the purpose of inculcating the principles of Christianity in the colored youth.

THE HIGH SCHOOL At that time the South was bankrupt on account of the terrible struggle thru which the country had so recently passed and educational facilities were poor for white children and for colored children they were infinitely worse. It was then when the educational future for the colored people of the South seemed to be one of utter despair, strong hearted white people of the North and West actuated by a noble and Christiarly impulse poured into the benighted lands of Dixie money, men and women to educate the recently emancipated Americans of color. The churches were the vanguards in this work of salvaging for society its five million blacks who were knocking at the door of opportunity.

BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE OVINGTON For S. A. A. C. P. published all sections of the South and Norfolk Mission College was established in this city. White men and women left their homes in the North and West and came to teach Negro youths. These people sacrificed much, suffered much, because on account of the very nature of the times and the work upon which they were engaged, they were forced to live in loneliness except for the companionship of their faculty associates. Rev. Matthew Clark, founded Norfolk Mission College and was its first principal. Rev. Clark was succeeded by Rev. W. L. Wallace, D. D., who in 1888 resigned on account of ill-health. Dr. Wallace was a saintly Christian with character and ability of the highest order. His death was universally mourned by all who knew him. REV. WILLIAM WALLACE HIS SUCCESSOR His successor, Rev. William Wallace, a young man of forceful character and positive convictions instituted many progressive policies. Feeling that religious instruction on Sunday was imperative to a balanced education, he required every student residing in the city to attend Sunday School at the college. This rule met with strong opposition by a number of preachers who honestly, the erroneously construed Dr. Wallace's action an attempt at proselytizing. Dr. Wallace stood firm and in a very short time the wisdom of his course was conclusively demonstrated. Rev. William Wallace in his first report to the board of trustees recommended advanced instruction for colored youth leading to the collegegrades. In 1889 Rev. Wallace resigned when he was succeeded by Rev. J. R. MacDonald, of Tarentum College, Tarentum, Pa. Dr. MacDonald was a versatile, cultured gentleman. His term of office was very brief. Prof. N. W. Moore, one of the most brilliant instructors ever to teach at the college became acting principal until 1890 when Rev. J. B. Work became the school's executive head and remained until 1897. Dr. Work was a man of the finest type, a scholar of boundless knowledge and an administrator of the highest order.

It was then the name was changed from Norfolk Mission College to Booker T. Washington high school and for the first time in its history a colored man, Prof. D. G. Jacox, became its principal.

He is the lead in a laboratory rested before a table and his hand placed in a definite space above which a seemingly heavy weight is suspended which if it falls will hit his hand. The weight descends and a slight electric current, to make her the more likely, at the same time presses through the subject's hand. The weight stops just before it would hit the head. If it were allowed to drop all the way, will the subject allow his hand to remain under the descending weight, and if he jerks it away the first time, will he continue to do so, given successive trials. His reactions are tested, not only by sight but by instruments to measure muscular and respiratory movements. The results of this series of experiments upon the 250 people was as follows: 1. Sex differences were negligible. 2. The number of withdrawals of the white and colored groups were the same. The whites however scattered both their arms and breath finches over a wider range of trials. As illustration, if white and colored were in a falling elevator the two races would be about alike in their fear, but if they got to the ground unhurt the Negro would walk off and think no more about it, while the white would be jumpy for some time afterwards.

He starts by asking: "What is the psychological explanation of the impulsiveness, the improbidence, the immortality which the Negro everywhere manifests?" To this pretty postulate he has no answer. At times he finds the Negro stands the test better than the whites. 25, out of 82 whites make the silly remark that they did not experience any desire to withdraw their hands, but they did have to exercise self-control. Only 1 Negroes make this contradiction. But, Mr. Crane explains, "We may assume that the introspection of the whites are the more reliable." Again, he asks the question, "To what extent does an individual's success with the test depend upon his intelligence? At all," is his reply, "because the Negroes do as well as the whites, and we know the Negro's intelligence is lower than the white's. And he ends by suggesting that the Negro's success is because "both the drive and the volitional factors were operating on lower planes than the whites," the two factors being lower to almost functionally equal degrees, with the result that these differences tended to offset each other." I suspect Mr. Crane hails from Dixie.

Coolidge Promises Inquiry In Houston Martyr Cases PART TWO PAGES 7 TO 12 CONGRESS Glimpsed RESS RES sed Along CONGRESS RESTORES Glimpsed Along the Way Wand CO REVIEW REVIEW and COMMENT In normal times when the companies issuing these policies are in a good financial condition, there is not much likelihood that they will attempt to evade payment of claims, but in the event of excessive demands on account of a high death rate, they are most certain to invoke some of those elusive clauses in their favor. There are numerous good insurance companies with impeccable reputations for financial soundness and integrity, but there are also a few issuing contracts that are practically worthless. The state laws compel insurance companies to carry a reserve sufficient to meet claims, but the wording of contracts is an entirely different matter. A contract can be fulfilled to the letter, and yet leave the holder of it not a leg to stand on. The practice of taking out insurance without first having an opportunity of reading a specimen policy should be avoided. After receiving a policy it should be taken out and read and tread at intervals in order to make sure that you are entirely familiar with every one of its provisions. Get insurance, but always be sure to get insurance that insures. * * * * The monster petition bearing 120,000 signatures for the release of the members of the 24th Infantry now incarcerated in Leavenworth penitentiary has been laid before President Coolidge, and he has indicated his attitude towards it. ake Your Skin and lighter! is dull, lifeless and far too dark, use fine preparations.

These boys acquitted themselves accreditably in their profession while away last year and the year before. Their voices on the phonograph records are enjoyed in thousands of Homes in the country. It is not only necessary to look out for your musical reputation while away, boys, but take care that your conduct will be such as to add honor to your race and profession. Norfolk wants to hear nothing but good news from you. Mis Hattie King Reavis is to appear in recital here at St. John's A. M. E. Church Wednesday night. February 20. She is an artist with a reputation. Let us do her and ourselves the honor to turn out to hear her in large numbers. We haven't forgotten that recently some prominent artists have visited our city and we suppose to represent the class that appreciates art couldn't be found anywhere but at home or some other place where the burden of listening to a race artist perform During the past ten years the tendency among the members of the race to carry life insurance has increased remarkably. This is one of the most pronounced indications of progress of which we can boast. Life insurance not only provides a protection in physical disability and for dependents in the case of death, but is very acceptable sign of moral stamina and thrift. More recently bankers have begun to regard it as a factor in credit rating. But as in all other avenues of progress in which we direct our attention, we do not at first exercise the proper precaution, and to an all too great an extent we have not done so in the selection of life insurance. Life insurance should be selected with the very best judgment, based upon the reputation of the company offering to sell it, or if the company has not existed long enough to establish a reputation, then upon the reputation of the men behind it, and with a thorough knowledge of every provision in the contract. It is a sad fact that hundreds and maybe thousands of our people are paying premiums on life contracts that are really not worth the paper they are printed on. They carry all kinds of stipulations and provisions, some of them requiring a Philadelphia lawyer to interpret. These provisions are so worded that they can always be construed to suit the purpose of the company. Many contracts have provisions which avoid all benefits if the holder should die from six to a dozen different diseases enumerated all more or less common to the colored race. FOR YOUR HAIR.

Our reputation is getting in a bad way in this matter and we had better look after it more carefully. The midnight ramble at the Attucks theatre is proving to be very popular. Don't get the idea that "ramble" means an indecent show. It is staged at midnight in order to provide entertainment for those of us who don't want to be bothered about going to bed early, and those of us who get up early enough to catch the worms that happen to be up too. Well, the police department seems to have gotten itself in an unpleasant situation by staging a raid led by the chief on the wrong house. We note that our police are still persuing the elusive whiskey and the hold-up gang is having an easy time of it. Everytime a business man meets us on the streets and says "business is awfully dull" we are persuaded to make a visit to a few of the dance halls and pool rooms to ascertain if it is a fact that there is no money in town.

We also mention that Miss Viola Hill, a talented coloratura soprano, of Philadelphia, will appear in recital at the First Baptist Church Wednesday night. The same thing as said concerning the appearance of Mrs. Hattie King Reavis applies in this instance. The boys along Church street are keeping their doors open and some of them are doing a nice business too. A few of our girls are finding employment in these shops, which should inspire us to help keep them open. At the same time business is not built on sentiment and those of our people in business have got to carry a little more in stock than race pride if they, would get the trade.

P. and the National Equal Rights League acted independently and the President had to listen to two spokesmen representing separate bodies. There was probably nothing illogical in this, but it does show to the rank and file that our leaders are incapable of harmonious action. There was one purpose to be served, one end to be accomplished and personal ambition should have given away to unity. When leaders are sketical and jealous of each other, the public discredits them all. Unless Howard University's appropriation is restored, it means a reduction in the "missionary" work of the Howard trained graduates in the "Solid South" and elsewhere. Colored girls of the New York high schools sure are making a "rep" for themselves. Miss Alberta Gaines becomes valedictorian of the mid-winter class at Flushing High School, and Miss Evelyn Mahdock takes third honor in the same class. We guess that if there had been another colored girl in this class it would have been "Three of a Kind."

Washington, D. C.,—Carying a total appropriation of $85,000 for Howard University, an increase of $707,500 over the amount as passed by the House of Representatives, the Interior Department appropriation bill was reported favorably to the Senate Saturday, February 9, from the U. S. Senate Committee on Appropriations. The additions made in the bill for Howard University cover the $207,500 for maintenance and equipment striken from the bill in the house, on a point of order and also $300,000 for additions to the Medical School of the University. Senator Phipps of Colorado, a member of the subcommittee which handled the bill and also chairman of the subcommittee which handles the District appropriation bill, was largely instrumental in bringing about the inclusion in the bill of the $500,000 for the Medical School. ITEM IS RESTORED He also supported the restoration to the bill of the $207,500 for the maintenance and equipment of the University, which had been striken out of the bill in the House on a point of order raised by Representatives Byrnes of South Carolina. During the consideration of the bill in subcommittee, the President of the University, Dr. J. Stanley Durke, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, declared that the work of the University would be seriously handicapped if these appropriations are not allowed Howard University is one of the two Universities for colored students which give degrees in medicine. The great need of more and better trained colored practitioners was pointed out to the committee as an argument for the $500,000 to be used for additions to the Medical School. Of this amount $370,000 is to be used for additional buildings and $130,000 for equipment. The Senate Committee also added $9,000 to the items for Freedmen's Hospital for salaries, etc. The total recommended for Freedmen's Hospital is $174,700. tion of bureaus for the protection of its native labor throughout France. Countering the attack made by the Democratic press upon people said to be involved in the so-called "Tenot Dome" oil scandal, some one has asked the New York World, which has been sneering at President Coolidge's cool, calm, conduct in the matter, the simple question: "What a would the World have Mr. Coolidge do—head the lynching party?" When organizers of the Ku Klux Klan arrived at Eddyville, Ky., for the purpose of forming a local chapter of the Invisible Empire in Lyon County, they were met by a committee and escorted to the Court House, where the County Attorney, C. C. Molloy, told them that there was not even standing room for the Invisible Empire in the county. They were further advised that a train would soon be leaving—they caught the train. Doxology! (Continued on Page 11) 1920 Class To Aid Howard Recent Graduates Determined To Contribute Constructive Effort To Alma Mater. Washington, D. C.—An interesting indication of the substantial interest in Howard University being shown by its alumni and for students is to be potted in the campaign for Fifty Thousand ($50,000) Dollars just put under way by the members of the college class of 1920. The campaign is being "headed up" by a Local Committee which was authorized by the class at its first reunion in 1922, in its desire to indicate in some way its love and loyalty to Howard, to formulate a plan by which some definite and constructive aid could be given by the class of 1920, to the University. The Committee, in seeking to ascertain how the class could best help the University, learned that the immediate need of Howard is the providing of a sum of approximately $50,000 to cover the expenditures which have been involved in the great physical improvements made in the University plant during the past few years, and for those improvements now in contemplation in connection with the refinishing of class-rooms and dormitories for young men and women, and decided to undertake to raise this sum of money. According to the plan under which the class of 1920 is conducting the campaign for the Fifty Thousand ($50,000) Dollars, communications are being sent by members of the class to alumni and various friends throughout the country. Each member of the class is to assist in the campaign b is to contribute not less than Ten ($10) Dollars and in addition is to assist in the campaign by addressing letters to various friends asking similar contributions. HEARS APPEAL FOR MEMBERS 24TH INFANTRY Receives Petition With 120,000 Signatures Gathered By N. A. A. C. P., And Replies Cordially To Delegation. Washington, D. C.—President Coolidge has promised an inquiry by the War Department into the cases of the 54 men of the 24th Infantry, still imprisoned in Leavenworth Penitentiary for their alleged share in the Houston Riot of 1917. President Coolidge made his promise in the presence of a delegation representing colored people of the country, after James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Notional Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at noon on February 7, presented the petition signed by 120,000 names, asking for executive clemency for the men. The President listened attentively to Mr. Johnson's address presenting the petition, and replied cordially to it and to the delegation of representative colored citizens who had come to Washington for the occasion. The President declared he would refer the cases to the War Department, and if he was empowered to take any action in behalf of the men he would do so. After the interview with President Coolidge in the White House office building, Mr. Johnson called upon Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas and Representative Martin Madden, Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives, and both these Congressmen promised they would aid their voices to those asking favorable action by the President. Mr. Monroe Trotter, Secretary of the Equal Rights League, headed a delegation of five representing that body and spoke eloquently in behalf of the imprisoned men. Mr. Trotter submitted to the president letters and resolutions from Senators and Congressmen urging parden for the Houston Martyrs. Mr. Johnson, in commenting upon the work which culminated in the presentation of the petition to President Coolidge, said: "February 7, 1924, was an epoch making day, a day on which not only a great effort was made for justice to the Houston Martyrs but a day which marks the greatest actual piece of cooperation yet achieved by the various race agencies." The delegation, and the Committee it represented, are as follows: The Delegation James Weldon Johnson, Secretary, National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People, S. S. Booker, of the Alpha Phi Alpha Praternity, representing 3,000 college graduates; Rev. L. K. Williams, of the National Baptist Convention, representing 2,938,579 Baptists (Represented by Rev.

Miss A WHITESTUDENTS CHEER 'GOOBER' WIZARD CARVER Tuskegee Scientist Speaks In South Carolina Colleges; Heard By 3,500 Students. Columbia, S. C., Feb. (Special)—Thirty-five hundred student in lead ing white colleges of South Carolina were recently given a new conception of the possibilities of the colored race, through a tour of the state by Prof. George Carver, the famous Tuskegee scientist, under the auspices of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Taking along a most interesting exhibit of his peanut, sweet potato, pecan and clay products, Prof. Carver addressed the students of six big schools and everywhere was cordially received and made a profound impression. In every city visited he appeared also at the colored high school with a message of inspiration for the pupils. While the tour had no small measure of scientific value, its most important result was the deeper appreciation of the possibilities of his race which Prof Carver inspired in all his hearers. This result was most apparent and was repeatedly commented on by observers. The Interracial Commission has also sent representative colored speakers into many of the white colleges of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Oklahoma, and always with the finest results. Probably no part of its program is more effective than this plan by which thousands of college students—the leaders of tomorrow—are enabled to see what the best types of colored people are capable of and to hear the Negro's viewpoint presented by able representatives of the race. Among those who have made such tours for the Commission are Dr. J. T. Holges, of South Carolina; Colorful News Movies By the Cameraman PRESTON NEWS SERVICE 1. Kelly Miller "Sanhedrin-ises" Howard University's mathematician, Prof. Kelly Miller, has never dealt in units more accurately than now, as the time for his big conference draws nigh. Like "Honest Abe Lincoln, Kelly seems determined that Government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. Consequently, he has just finished extracting the cube root of the unknown quantities; and after a few mathematical gyrations, has evolved the answer, which is preceded by a plus and minus sign. The plus sign represents the data, energies, cooperation, and organization of the proponents of the Sanhedrin; while the minus sign, faint at present, much to our delight, represents the rocks that, may be thrown, secretly or otherwise, at the cage of the caravan. The ideas expressed by Professor Miller are fine ones, we think. Just visualize a conference of the brethren, comprised of the "three wings" of Negro thought, all agreeing upon some ONE or more things as being appropriate objectives for accomplishment thru racial concentration. Imagine if you can, the ideals of Marcus Garvey, Dr. DuBois, Dr. Moton, Kelly Miller, and Chandler Owen all being boiled out in the same pot, the savory products of which would ame- Dr. James Bond, of Kentucky; Dr. Isaac Fisher, of Fisk University; and Dr. H.

There was fear at one time that the meeting of another group, at the same place and time of the Sanhedrin, might absorb the interest and finances of hopefuls of the race. This shadow, though, has been removed by the rays of solidarity of purpose in the removal of racial ills, and the outlook for the consumption of something helpful is very bright. As Prof. Miller has so ably and sincerely pointed out, unity is the animal we are hunting for now. Evils should be set to route. The coalition of every human racial asset is necessary, and closed ranks, by the effacing of selfish interests together with group determination, group effort, and group accomplishment, will, we think bring forth salutary results to every brother and sister in the land.

Y.—On Wednesday last, the National Urban League held its Annual Meeting in this city at which time announcement was made of the plan this year to establish a National Industrial Department at an extra annual expense of $8,000. Half of this sum—$4,50—is obledged by Mr. John D. Hakefeller, Jr., second that the balance is raised. The Annual Report presented by the Executive Secretary, Eugene Kinclle Jones, stated in part as follows: "The year 1923 has seen extraordinary developments in the problems of race relations to which the National Urban League has committed itself. The attitude of public mind towards the Negro expresses itself in the improvement in the type of public statement concerning achievements by members of the Negro race and in its incidents in which the Negro is a prominent factor or is vitally concerned. "Our local organization in industrial centers, such as Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, Columbus, Cleveland, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Newark and Philadelphia have found homes for Negro workers; placed them in positions; counselled with them to secure greater efficiency; advised with their families on education for their children and the socializing of their home life; interceded in their behalf with employees in an effort to secure false treatment and more consideration as to wages and advancement when merited. "Two 'Fellows' of the League have completed a year's study in social service at training schools and four additional students have been appointed for study under the League's Fellowship plan during 1923-24. Through the Department of Research and Investigation lecturers, writers and students of the research have sought and received valuable data. OPPORTUNITY magazine has appeared during each of the twelve months of 1923 with live authentic reports and practical discussions of Negro life. Surveys of Negro social conditions have been completed in Baltimore, M.L., Waterbury, Conn., and Buffalo, N. Y., and in two instances have been published in OPPORTUNITY. The Buffalo survey has been conducted under the auspices of the Council of Social Agencies interracial committee and the Baltimore survey under a similar committee with the endorsement of the Mayor of the City, the Board of Trade and the Manufacturers' Association. The following persons were elected to the Executive Board for the term expiring 1927: Roger N. Baldwin, C. C. Spaulding, Arthur C. Holden, Miss Edith M. Campbell, Plato Duramn, George C. Hall, Abraham Leffkowitz, Kelly Miller, Miss John F. Moors, Robert R. Moton, Paul J. Sachs, George W. Seligman, Mts. V. G. Cinkhovitch, W. R. Valentine, J. D. Williamson, Mr. L.

Address Reported To Be Prepared To Force An Issue On Appointment Of Comptroller Of Customs For New Orleans. Washington, D. C., Feb. 14, 1910. According to information coming from confidential sources, President Calvin Coolidge has decided that he is going to force the adoption into a definite stand against Negro rights. His seems to have been determined by the Senate attitude toward Walter Cohen, nominated for unpittler of the Port of New Orleans. The light over Cohen has lapsed for the last two years, heading his name to the Senate, where it was rejected because of the personal objections of the Louisiana senator. Mr. Cohen was twice the recipient of a regress appointment from Mr. Harpling, the last of which he is serving on now. A regress appointment carries no pay. President Coolidge has again set the name of Cohen to the S Typewriter Adding Machines Safes [Oval portrait of a man with a mustache and a hat.] Worth $10,000 REPEAL ANTI-KLAN LAW IN NEW YORK STATE Albany, N.

Under the law, several traternal organizations are required to file with the secretary of state complete lists of memberships and officials. make for contemption. It is discharged that he intends to make a fight for Cohen, and that he has become so disgusted with the questioning attitude adopted by a number of leading Republicans that he has determined to take in hand, not only the Cohen affair, but the subject of Negro rights and the enforcement of their constitutional privileges. "It is understood that there is to be no hearing about the bush, the Loe is to be clear cut, and the President is going to lead the fight. He is credited with having his own notions of what is fair and with a determination to fight them, no matter who tries to be an abstainer. His first attack will be directed against reckless or weak Republican senators. B AND SERVICE CO., (incorporated) Office Equipment W.

Scott Calls Attention To Success of Migrant in Coping With New Environment. New York City, Feb. 6th—"The Negro in Industry" was the principal subject discussed at the Twelfth Annual Meeting of the National Urban League in the Russell Sage Foundation Building New York City, Wednesday evening, February 6th. The discussion was led at the evening session by Miss Mary Van Kleeck, Director of Industrial Studies of the Russell Sage Foundation, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D. C. In speaking at the Annual Meeting in the National Urban League Wednesday night, February 6th he said: Negro Called Upon To Supply Labor Deficit During World War. The Negro faces America indictment. There was a labor deficit in this country during the World War of approximately four million caused by the sudden cutting off of the one million annual supply of alien labor. To supply this labor deficit in American industry, the immense reservoir of Negro labor in the South was called upon. With his great wealth with his great industrial opportunity, the Natiana] Urban League did wonderfully fine and effective work in arousing the national conscience in the matter of opening economic opportunities to Colored wage earners, in promoting Negro economic welfare generally, and in removing the causes of misunderstanding and prejudice among the faithful laborers are to be found and noted in all the great industrial centers of our country. Negro Has No Easy Task But Measures Up To Requirements "In undertaking to fill the places in Northern industry formerly occupied by skilled and unskilled European labor, it was to be expected that the Negro would meet with difficulties. These difficulties were experienced not only in his work but in connection with his social position as well. On one hand he was enjoying a better wage; and on the other hand greater privileges. Despite the rigorous adjustment which the Negro laborer had to make in adapting himself to his new work and his new environment in a company, he himself accepted as a valuable asset in American industrial life. The Swift Packing Company, the U. S. Steel Corporation, the Westinghouse people, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and dozens upon dozens of other industrial enterprises opened their doors to him." Large Demand For Negro Labor Seen "As immigration is further restricted, there will be a larger and larger demand for Negro labor. His great industrial opportunity has come and he is seeking to embrace it with eagerness. Great economic and social transformations are being wrought in the life of the Negro not only in the South but also well. The reaction of the migration of the Negro from the South on the South itself is seen in the appeals for his return by the industries of the South. There is in the North and South a general disposition now to look the facts in the face. Many Southern editors are recognizing that it is to the best interest of the Negro that it is made it unnecessary for the Negro to leave the South in order to realize his fullest development as an American citizen."

GREENSBORO THE A. & T. COLLEGE Greensboro, N. C. On Tuesday, January 29, 1924, Professor M. C. S. Noble, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the College paid us a visit. He was here in session with other members of the board, whose business was to inspect the New Power Plant and Laundry. At the regular Chapel exercises Mr. Noble spoke to the teachers and students. At this particular time he emphasized many important things relative to student school-life, the more outstanding of which was the thought of "Good Behavior," stating further in his talk that he had never heard any thing about an A & T student which was touchable, but on the other hand they always conducted themselves in a manner conducive of strong commendation. On the evening of the above date, the "Kenneth" entertainers, appeared at the College in an interesting program, which was largely composed of moving pictures, and magic performances entailing many intricacies which the human eye was too slow to pervade. A regular Friday evening program of the College was rendered last week by the musical talent of the institution, supported by a number of renditions from students taking courses in oratory and expression. The program was altogether voluntary, and was arranged within the College, however, with participants exhibited a natural talent in spite of the limited time allotted for preparation. In voluntary remarks by President Dudley at the close of the program, he emphasized very impressively the splendid attitude and spirit shown on part of the students in the entirely optional movement. With the exception of a short but timely and instructive talk by Dean Bluford, the program consisted almost entirely of music, interspersed only by reading selections.

MUTUAL AGENTS CONFERENCE HELD Enthusiasm and Insulation Marked At Annual Gathering of Employees And Company Officials. Durham, N. C.—In Mount Vernon Baptist Church of this city the public meeting of the three-day session of the State Agents Conference of the North Carolina Mutual Operates held Tuesday evening, February 5, and was marked with enthusiasm, inspirational addresses and a unity of community interest unexcelled in the history of these gatherings. President C. C. Spaulding was master of ceremonies. These meetings are had annually in each state where the North Carolina Mutual operates and have for some years been the realization of the mutuality existing among the company, its agents, employees and policy holders, to ever keep before the public the fact that the company is indeed a mutual concern and that each policy holder is a part of the whole and inasmuch as every one concerned advances the company the race of the race and each individual of the race is advanced. An eloquent and masterly address of welcome was delivered by Dr. W. C. Williams, the pastor, on behalf of his church, in which he touched upon the great and immeasurable good being done for the economic unit of theave throut the country by the North Carolina Natural Life Insurance Company. Sneezes were delivered Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Vernon Bantim Church; Mrs. S. T. Mossell Alexander, of Philadelphia, formerly connected with the statistical department of the company; Mr. W. E. Harvey, State Agent for South Carolina; Mr. W. E. Coleman, State Agent for Maryland; Mr. D. C. Dean, of Richmond, State Agent for Virginia; Prof. J. L. Wheeler, State Agent for Georgia and recently elected a director of Little Rock, Arkansas. Messrs. J. T. Japps, of Alabama and C. H. Ferring, of Jacksonville, Fla.; Mr. A. P. Sears, of Charlotte, N. C. and officials of the company. A striking statement in the speech of Mr. W. A. Cox, Agency Director, was his remark: "I ask only one favor of you—our friends here in this city—if our agents enter your homes with their hats on and smoking cigars or cigarettes, buy nothing, but ask them out—and is as much as you do this unto our agents—do ye also unto all agents who may treat you thus, but if we treat you right—give you as good as any company gives you, Dr. R. W. Gallins, another speaker, asserted that the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company had proved to be the key to the perplexing problem leading to the economic progress of the American Negro." Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity By WM. L. GREENE Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. —Beginning the New Year with a firm resolution for progress, the Iota Chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., looks forward to the moment of many constructive things. The Edward dynasty hold sway over the chapter activities and put the chapter on a sound working basis, during the year ending February, 2nd, and the members can never forget the valuable and unselfish service rendered by the ex-commissioner Chas. Under his guidance the social life of the chapter has been brightened by four or five lively informal entertainments that were all successes within themselves. The work of putting over athletic and musical programs did not permit of completion during his administration, but his cabinet and committee has done much to make a rosy path for the succeeding administration. The members of the chapter enjoyed an inspiring address on the evening of January 26th by Brother Huston of Durham, N. C., a chapter member of the Alpha Chapter, whose interest in the welcoming of the Fraternity at large is as uniting as the restless ocean. He urged the members to make progress their motto for the year and outlined in picturesque language the high aim of the Greek Letter Fraternities and their duty to the whole of society. Dedition should be active and friendly by competition, and brought about his discourse, and all present left the First, room with new zeal to see that Sigma should be better for the world, and the world better for them. With the close of the Edward'd dynasty, came a call for another such energetic leader. Brother Clayton A. Robbins, accordingly was chosen to wield the gavel as President of the chapter at this important crisis. A crisis because of the many opportunities before him. Other officers of his council are: Brothers John C. Ballard, first vice president; James E. Lyle, second vice president; R. B. Flemming, secretary; Watson Fowler, corresponding secy; J. S. Bowler, treasurer; K. J. McMullen, president; Edward W. Johnson, parliamentarian; Edward E. McLaren, chaplain and John Harold Harbison, sergeant-at-arms. The program of the Iota Chapter for the spring season, though not so spacious, is none the less designed to be appropriate. The An- nual Frederick Douglass Program will likely be featured by the presence of either Dr. Locke Ph. D., of Howard University or Dr. Turner, of Philadelphia. An address from either will alone make the program worth while, but the chapter will spare no effort to make the entire program unforgettable. As the balm of spring graces the earth, the fair friends of Sigma men shall grace the campus in the spring, and we will wish this year to make the most gala occasion of all its kind. We trust the birds for their enchantment and look to dame nature for a glorious day as we anticipate the joy of spring. So far in the history of the Iota Chapter, no formal entertainment has found its way into our program, but this spring season calls us from slumber to work and joy. It will come. Our many friends shall be with us. We shall encircle and be with us. We spire, and we crave the interest of a happy world to lend us smiles and cheer. Friday, March 28th brings the annual banquet, and many hearts will beat in unison as the spirit of the year approaches its elimax. When it will be reached is left to the gods, but the way of its trend will of a certainly be marked by the spirit of that day in March. The heart of every Phi join in our anticipation of the best in happiness and service for self and humanity. EDENTON Edenton, N.

SHUA AND THE CONQUEST OF CANAAN. Joshua 1: 11, 23, and 24. Golden Text—Not one hath hath of all the good things which lovah your God spake concerning Johs. 23:14. The Commission of Joshua. I: 1, 1-4. When Moses first received the cience of death on the farther of the Jordan, none could have more deeply grieved than his fateful friend and attendant. But I thought of succeeding him never presented itself to his mind. Indeed possess himself does not appear to have thought of him in this direction, for we learn that he besought the Lord to appoint a man over preservation he thought of succeeding him never presented itself to his mind. Indeed Moses himself does not appear to have thought of him in this direction, for we learn that he beought the Lord to appoint a man over the covenant that he should not be as shepherd without a shepherd (Num. 27:17.) in that prayer Joshua may have omed, thinking all the while that abel, the lion-nearted, or Phinis of the priest, or one of the sons of Moses, might take his place; but supposing that he would himself be called to it. His one aim has been to enhance the glory and lighten the cares of Moses; and was too absorbed in his master, personality to be greatly conscious. — F. R. Meyer. His own Joshua was God's man to do God's work-his commission was divine—Moses is dead; arise, lead all his people over the Jordan into banaan, the land which I swear into your fathers to give it thee. Gird thyself for the new duties and responsibilities that have come on you. Do not worry yourself taking whether you are capable of doing these duties, or with vain-looking within for the gifts and qualities which marked your predecessor. It is enough for you that God in his providence call you to take the place of the departed. If he has called you, he will equip you "Exp. Bible. God Pledges his Presence and power to Joshua.—Vs. 5:57. "Joshua showed no sign of resentment to God or man. Well knew he must have a spirit of steel, unbreakable. The voices from his Lord and from his comrades only repeated what he was saying to himself. He needeth wisdom, self-command, and power to command; but above everything else, he needed to conquer fear. The same command is made upon every religious leader, however humble. The first quality in the eyes of both God and man is this enduring, adamantine, undaunted spirit, which will refuse to know itself beaten, which will be separated to venture all. The final explanation of much failure in the service of God's kingdom is no other than—a man has permitted himself to be a coward, does not look for victory, he believes himself beaten though he still fights on."—Gille. God strengthens his servants Joshua at a most trying time—mighty task was Joshua.—Those were words of assurance and encouragement.—I will not fail thee nor felsake thee. Joshua was to be strong and of good courage through the power not of himself, but of God. Stick close to the Lord; cling tenaciously to the statues of Jehovah; play the part of a man, have some back-bone, be not afrightened, nor dismayed. Jehovah is with thee, and prosperity and good success are sure. Joshua has the experience of Moses' whole lifetime as an encouragement to his faith. Moses had many a trying time, many a hard duty, many a danger and difficulty; and God who had brought him safely and successfully that would not fail nor forsake the new leader. In every new difficulty before Joshua—and they were many and great—he could look back upon a greater one from which God had delivered Moses. The work was impossible to him without the presence of God. With God he could do all things."—Peloubet. 3. Jehovah is a Covenant-keeping God.—Joshua 23. 1-4. "Not all ye have done by your boldness, not all that I, Joshua, have done, but all that God has done. You may call this word an expression of Joshua's modesty, if you will, but it is in reality an outcome of the religious mind which thinks regularly and always in terms of God.

He has lanced for you, and destroyed her, you the great nations of Canaan. Tennyson's characterization of Duke of Wellington fits well, the character of Joshua.

And then there are, the hundreds o f thousands raised for the fostering of propaganda that goes no further than keeping alive poorly managed ship lines and colonization societies on this side of the Atlantic. "Now place the blame wherever you will," shouted the speaker, "Africa will never be redeemed at this rate. All such abortive efforts at the redemption of the land of our fathers are foredoomed to failure. It is likewise true that such efforts will lute thousands into believing in their ultimate success. But remember Allah. Anoint success attended his misdirected efforts for twenty-two long years. Then came the inevitable shattering of all his dreams. He died ignominiously on the battle field and his kingdom was reduced to a wasteland. Hunting happiness. Another example of misdirected energies is found in the methods some of us use in our hunt for happiness. We sometimes seem to feel that we just must keep up or out ahead of the rest in matters of clothes, jewelry, auto, home, entertaining, etc., in order to be happy. In others the pursuit of happiness takes the form of search for a more congenial cline or for new friends, often deserving old friends who have helped make us what we are. But all these efforts at personal happiness, like misdirected efforts at race advancement, are allomed in advance. "Ahab accounted the exigencies of international politics and commerce as of greater importance than righteousness and religion. And the dogs jicked up his blood, over his life was written the tragic word. Failure. So is it with our efforts foredoomed to failure, whether racial or individual. We are found playing on the side-lines while the game can only be won in the center of the field. We are compelling countless dollars and countless energies on side issues and incidentals and neglecting the great fundamentals.

You can raise millions and colonize thousands and set up the forms of democracy from now until fulfillment, but, unless men enough be- come willing to give up their lives for the unlifting of our brethren, all our labors are in vain. The lov- er mission program of the christian church is the only adequate program for the redemption of any people. Mingle the profit motive and the separate nation motive with your uplift work and you will ultimately develop profiteers and giants and zealots who will lose light of the chief ends sought.

Mrs Watson gave a glowing account of conditions in the missionary work from the points of ready reception by the natives of the Christian faith she returned to the Africans, the Southern though he is he is written with common sense and with skill of gratitude for what is being done for him through the efforts of missionaries to bring the counsel.

DEAN BRIGGS' TALKS ON THE RELIGIOUS LIFE Watch Ye, Stand fast in the faith, Quit Ye like men, be strong. 1 Cor. 16: 13. CUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; ALL THESE THINGS (THE NECESSARY THINGS OF LFE) SHALL BE HOLD INTO YOU—MATT. 6:33. HOW OLD ARE YOU? "And Methuselah lived ninety, hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died." The biggest thing said about the world's oldest citizen is he died. Methuselah did not really live; he merely existed, occupied space, used up time for nine and a half centuries. This tenth managererian consumed the substance out of which years are made. Animals do nothing much else than exist—they live to eat. Some ducks have lived (existed) for three hundred years, some whales have lived for a thousand years. There is no record of the achievements of the world's longest lived man. The Bible simply says—"He lived nearly a millennium, and he ditch." I suppose if there had not been an chittynz notice it had recorded, we would have not known that such a man as Methuselab had lived. His life was long on quantity, but short on quality. His great life in days, months, and years measure small debts-asccomplishments. Our age is not measured by calendar years, but by achievements. "We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He lives most. Who thinks the most, feels the noblest, and acts the best—" The real man is a man from the shoulders up; a man is an animals from his shoulder down. "It is not the span of life, but what we put in it that counts." Not new long; but how well you lived. Jesus "first was dead before he was thirty-five. The founder of Christianity lived a life of service and helpfulness. His was a very short life in time; the mignest, the greatest, the noblest in achievements. Most of the world's greatest men were dead at seventy-five. Sorcerer, Shakespeare, Newton, Archimedes, Bethoven. Michael Angelo. Paul lived and more than a fifthileth as long as the Bible's oldest man. But they did fifteen hundred times more for the world then did Methuselah. Reader, what is your life? How are you spending your years? The parasites consume the lives merely exist. The producers, the workers, the achievers live. If the world is not being made wiser, better and nobler, because of your being in it if your life does not radiate hope, peace, happiness, growth, improvement, and progress, you are not living, but merely existing as all other animals. Life is the gift of God and it is divine—Longtower. Life is not a mere plaiting, a toil, it is a gift from God. He who does not live a growing, expanding, insolving, reckoning life fails to realize the fullest fraction of his highest and noblest self. To live is great, to live well and publicly is great plus grand, plus glorious. "Of great men all remind us, That we can make our lives sublime. And departing leave behind us, Even pointing on the sand of time." G. H. WATSON PRACTICAL ORGAN BUILDER REPARING AND TUNING A SPECIALTY ESTIMATES GIVEN ON REQUEST PHONE 41522 RES. 718 W. 31ST ST.

Why, as a matter of course, Race History should be taught in all of our race schools, three the grammar and university courses. The truthful history of what we have done, in war and peace, is the best inspiration we can get to what we can and should do. Republican and Democratic statesmen have found that dealing in oil on personal account is slippery business. The scandal in naval oil leases has nipped a few Presidential blooms in the bud and withered them. Wrong doing in politics, or anything else, does not pay. Governor Whitfield, of Mississippi, has just entered upon his tenure of office with a strong plan for a square deal for the Negro citizens of the State. He says that "any plans for a new era, any change in our economic life, any organization of agriculture or industry which leaves them out, is doomed to failure." We think that Governor Whitfield will have a hard time making white Mississippians see the question as he does.

Lincoln belongs to all of us but Douglass belongs to us. Democratic Efforts To Lynch The Coolidge Administration The Coolidge Administration has fallen heir to a scandal in the leasing of the naval bil reserves of the United States, which is shaking up American politics as they have not been in a long time. Secretary of the Navy Denby and Attorney General Daugherty who, with Former Secretary of the Interior, Fall, are responsible for the leases to the Doheny and Sinclair interests, have been torn all to pieces by the high-power orators of the Senate. Demand has been insistent for the resignation from public office of all those engaged in the leasing, with alleged bribery at the bottom of the unsavvy business, by outraged Democratic statesmen, who thrive best upon the rottenness which may creep into Republican administrations. But, lo and behold, when the Democratic politicians and newspapers were crying loudest for the lynching of the alleged Republican offenders it was brought out that Former Cabinet officers of the Wilson Administration,—Secretaries McAdoo, Lane and Garrison, were also tangled up in the slippery business, and the Democratic cry for the lynching of the Coolidge Administration grew wonderfully faint and hesitant. It depends much on whose ox in politics is gored. The New York Evening Post sums up the situation as follows: "The psychology of the whole miserable affair is bad and is being made worse by partisan-inspired Senate resolutions demanding Cabinet resignations and by open threats of Cabinet impeachments. The stage is being set by the Democrats for a political lynching bee. They purpose to hang first and investigate afterwards. The situation is ugly. The scandal is one of the darkest in our political history. However, it is not so dark or so ugly as to justify lynch law." If President Harding had not died, if the hysterical Democratrs had him and his Administration to deal with, as some of the responsibility for the leases lies with the dead President, the Democratrs in the Senate may have succeeded, in lynching the Administration; but they have President Coolidge to deal with; and he is not the sort of man to fall down before hysteria or allow himself to be lynched by a mob of yelling Democratic Senators Senator Caraway of Arkansas and Senator Hefflin of Alabama, who have been loudest in demanding that the Coolidge Administration shall be lynched, have grown up in the University of Applied Lynching and Mob Methods, and have profited personally by their education. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE quite agrees with New York Evening Post, that the guilty should be searched out and punished for betraying their public trust, but not by the law of the mobocrat and lyncher, who proceed always on the lawless purpose "to hang first and investigate afterwards." In the past fifty-six years thousands of Negroes have been murdered by that lawless process. That it is being applied nowadays to white persons, and is threatened to be applied to a Republican Administration, whose predecessors excused and winked at so much mob and lynch law practised upon helpless Negroes, is food for thought which might easily gorge some of the treacherous Republican Senators. Editorial Page of What About The Descendants of Sam Bell? Under the caption, "How the True Southern White Man Regards the True Black Man, the Manufacturers Record publishes a tribute paid by Mr. James Austin, an Atlanta attorney, to Sam Bell, and aged Negro, who had just died, and states that in the light of recent efforts to misrepresent the attitude of the better class of Southern whites to the better class of Southern blacks, it commends this tribute to its readers everywhere. It is to be inferred that the Manufacturer Record holds that the sentiments expressed by the Atlanta attorney upon the death of Sam Bell, represent the real attitude of the true Southern white man to the true black man whatever the word true is meant to include. The tribute as published in the Recor reads: What About The Descendants of Sam Bell? Under the caption, "How the True Southern White Man Regards the True Black Man," the Manufacturers Record publishes a tribute paid by Mr. James Austin, an Atlanta attorney, to Sam Bell, and aged Negro, who had just died, and states that in the light of recent efforts to misrepresent the attitude of the better class of Southern whites to the better class of Southern blacks, it commends this tribute to its readers everywhere. It is to be inferred that the Manufacturers Record holds that the sentiments expressed by the Atlanta attorney upon the death of Sam Bell, represent the real attitude of the true Southern white man to the true black man, whatever the word true is meant to include. The tribute as published in the Record reads: "A letter comes to me today. It is from the white-haired mistress of the old plantation home of my boyhood, my mother. 'Dear son,' she writes. 'Uncle Sam is dead—Sam Bell is dead and I want you to write a tribute to him.' "] sit in my office chair with the letter in my hand and look out absently from the twelfth floor of a skyscraper on the great city stretching out before me. I hear the roar of the traffic in the crowded streets below, but these sights and sounds pass by unheeded. Memory is throwing on the screen of my fancy a picture of the long ago. I am a little freckle-faced boy of seven, back again on the old plantation, sitting on the kitchen steps under the shade of the spreading mulberry in the back yard, counting with nervous eager fingers a nest of partridge eggs, and glancing up gratefully with Sam's standing over me, grieving with delight that present he has salvaged for me from the wheat field. There are an even dozen of the little eggs. Ranger, my dog, is standing by, eyeing my body wisely as I count my treasures. "Yes, there before me at the old South Carolina home is 'Uncle Sam,' sturdy in build and frame as a rock, with a heart as kind, as gentle and as steadfast as ever beat under any man's shirt, whether that man be white or black. "And for more than fifty long years he was as familiar a figure around the 'big oak in the front yard, and as dependable and standing as straight-up for right, for truth and in honesty as innovable. "South Carolina can boast of one antebellum crop which never failed—gentlemen—gentlemen 'to the manner born.' And a great host of them were white and some were black, and black though his skin, Sam Bell was 'a South Carolina gentleman,' instinctively refined, spontaneously speaking, with speech truthful, in conduct without guile, in simplicity and humility, a little child. "Can I write a tribute to Sam Bell? Can I write a tribute to this faithful old servant and friend of my father and mother, of their sons? Yes; for I who knew this princely old Negro—knew him as he was—can say of him that I have known few men of nobler character, a character of granite texture. I have known few men of finer loyalty. "And his faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Great Redeemer, never waned or wavered during more than a half century of Christian life and experience. Sam Bell's body goes back to mother earth but his soul goes marching on, as I verily believe, with the great company of the redeemed." These are high sentiments. Few people great and near-great, in passing, have had to them a more lofty tribute. But Sam Bell is gone and with a few more setting suns, all of the Sam Bolls will have gone his way. Whether or not in the opinion of the Manufacturers Record he represented the only true type of Negro is not known to us but the fact that he represented a type of Negro that is a negligible factor in the present-day problem of racial contact in the South is clearly known. Mr. Austin's regard for the memory of Sam Bell does not contribute anything to our present-day problem of racial adjustment and understanding unjusts he is willing to be But Sam Bell is gone and with a few more setting suns, all of the Sam Bell will have gone his way. Whether or not in the opinion of the Manufacturers Record he represented the only true type of Negro is not known to us, but the fact that he represented a type of Negro that is a negligible factor in the present-day problem of racial contact in the South is clearly known. Mr. Austin's regard for the memory of Sam Bell does not contribute anything to our present-day problem of racial adjustment and understanding unless he is willing to be consistent and translate that regard, that appreciation of Sam's noble qualities into mutual helpfulness and fair opportunity to Sam's children represented in the millions of colored people striving for an opportunity in the South. Mr. Austin's attitude to the little seven year-old black boy, who played with the little seven year-old freckled face white boy, now the Atlanta attorney, and who is at present very probably a tenant farmer somewhere on South Carolina's acres, is the concern of the present. And if he will gaze out of the window of his office on the twelfth floor of the Atlanta skyscraper, no doubt, he will see a swarm of archs in the yawning alley below, descendants of Sam Bell, possessing by nature these qualities Mr. Austin found worthy of praise in their grandfather, whose souls yearn for an opportunity to serve with the Atlanta attorney and his children in the development of the highest and noblest there is in the South; in the development of its possibilities and the enhancement of the wealth, glory and honor of this nation. If Mr. Austin can see his way clear to use his influence to remove from the second and third generations of Sam Bell, the denial of a full citizenship; educational opportunities and civic justice that oppresses them, not only will he write everlasting to the memory of South Carolina's ante-bellum crop of true Negrees, but will set up, as well, an example of the Southern white man's attitude toward the black man that we can join with the Manufacturers Record in commending to a world this journal thinks has attempted to misrepresent the relation between these two racial groups in the South. Sam Bell's children are anxious to serve, maybe not particularly to lay partridge eggs at the feet of Mr. Austin's children, but to help bring out of the South the full flower of its natural resources; to fetch intelligence and learning out of ignorance and superstition; to fetch health and life out of disease and death, thereby contributing a measure of service ten-fold greater than their fathers ever did. At the minute Mr. Austin penned that glowing tribute, South Carolina and Georgia were spending from $17.00 to $20.00 upon the education of every child within their confines as compared with an expenditure of $1.00 to $2.00 for the education of their Negro children. Georgia does not support a single school higher than elementary grades for the education of colored children. And until the sentiments as expressed by the Atlanta attorney upon the death of old Sam Bell are moved against these conditions, it is feared that no misrepresentation of the Southern white man's attitude to the Southern black man can be claimed. Briefs and Spices The one good thing about the man with a get rich quick scheme is his elusive rebuttal. The irony of fate makes a lot of people good who are inclined otherwise. It takes money to stage --- Practical Education Also Needed by Native. Africans The employment department of the Haitian, New York, branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, recently sent out a letter in which it stated that they had demand for trained bookkeepers, stenographers, and we like of the race, but had no applicants all the openings. That ought to sound strangely enough when we remember that for fifty years our schools have been educating people who ought to know something about office work, but who seldom appear to be. That has been our experience. They always appear to know a great deal about subjects which a business office or mechanical department of a business needs. There is always a few such, but they are not always prepared to do the work required. They have the theory and not the practice. We have come across at least two schools of agriculture and industry in which the research of the farms and shops was done by trained men, the students preferring the muster and the not caring for the drudgery work of it. The average Afro-American student persistently looks away from agriculture and the机械 pursuits, hankering most affection for the work of the ministry and the professions, with little disposition to go into business of any kind. And as for hard work as a stepping stone to higher things, it is generally regarded with suspicion and shunned when it can be done. We may get out of this attitude of education and hardship, and learn the real things that make for independent living and fortune, and necessity is forcing us to do gradually, but not in a hurry, just gradually. We find that the Natives of Africa are indeed most practical education and education people to lead them in the right way, just the need them in Harlem and Norfolk. The Gold Coast Times, published at Cape Coast, West Africa, says on this point: "The working people of the Gold Coast are in the hapless possession of making money without the capacity of retaining it, and as long as we have its habit uncured we shall remain the servants of servants, and the helpless victims of inconceivable exploiters." That is to say they need people with practical education to know them how to do things. Do we not need many more such people than we have our people in business will say that we do. The employment department of the Harlem, New York, branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, recently sent out a release in which it stated that they had demands for trained bookkeepers, stenographers, and the like of the race, but had no applicants to fill the openings. That ought to sound strange enough when we remember that for fifty years our schools have been educating people who ought to know something about office work, but who seldom appear to be. That has been our experience. They always appear to know a great deal about subjects which a business office or mechanical department of a business needs. There is always a few such, but they are not always prepared to do the work required. They have the theory and not the practice. We have come across at least two schools of agriculture and industry in which the real work of the farms and shops was done by hired men, the students preferring the mastery of the theory and not caring for the drudge work of it. The average Afro-American student persistently looks away from agricultural and mechanical pursuits, hankering most after the work of the ministry and the professions, which he thinks are soft and easy snaps, with very little disposition to go into business of any kind. And as for hard work as a stepping stone to higher things, it is generally regarded with suspicion and shunned when it can be done. We may get out of this attitude by education and hardship, and learn the real things that make for independent living and fortune, and necessity is forcing us to do so gradually, but not in a hurry, just gradually. We find that the Natives of Africa also need most practical education and educated people to lead them in the right way, just as we need them in Harlem and Norfolk. The Gold Coast Times, published at Cape Coast, West Africa, says on this point: "The working people of the Gold Coast are in the hapless position of making money without the capacity of retaining it, and as long as we have this habit uncured we shall remain the servants of servants, and the helpless victims of unconscionable exploiters." That is to say, they need people with practical education to show them how to do things. Do we not need here many more such people than we have? Our people in business will say that we do. Is Citizenship Appreciated? There is manifested by the colored people this state and city a shameful apathy regarding the exercise of the ballot. The United States census reports for 1997 are the race population of Nerfolk a literate race at 87 per cent, and in the face it is high intelligent rating among our people no election, state, municipal or nation. There is manifested by the colored people of this state and city a shameful apathy regarding the exercise of the ballot. The United States census reports for 1920 give the race population of Norfolk a literacy rating around 87 per cent, and in the face of this high intelligent rating among our people, in no election, state, municipal or national held within the past decade, have Negrees of Norfolk cast a vote greater than two per cent of their literate population. This political lethargy has become so deeply troubled among the colored people here that it is acting to stultify their citizenship aspirations. It is time that efforts were made to correct this situation. To cast the ballot is not only the right of a free people, often denied, but also their most solemn duty. And the fact might as well be faced now as eventually, that the most important instruments of helpfulness to any people rest in their own hands and the ballot is one of the most potent of them all. Notwithstanding the wonderful good that it is hoped and believed will result from the activities of numerous agencies now working for the amelioration of unfavorable conditions surrounding the colored people in the South, the fact remains that the exercise of the political franchise by intelligent, courageous and independent Negroes who regard such right as a sacred trust is necessary to the preservation of the interests of the race, and to the happy functioning of a democratic government. Recently a school bond was carried in Atlanta then the aid-of colored voters after having been previously defeated. As recognition of their support, the colored voters exacted a promise from the bond advocates that a proportionate sum of the money accruing from the bonds would be expended for Negro education. The promise is being carried out and Atlanta is undertaking a program of school building for its colored citizens unprecedented in a single year by any city in the country. There was not a semblance of domineering attached to this action. These people, knowing that they would be taxed to repay the borrowed money, simply demanded a right to share in its benefits. Negroes of other Southern cities under liberal election laws might well profit by Atlanta's example. Every man and woman, white or colored, who stand four-square upon the principles of American citizenship appreciates the salient fact that the ballot is the emblem of that citizenship and that every other man and woman who subscribes to the basic principles of American government should with intelligent aforesight exercise the political franchise. This is a presidential election year, and those who wish to participate in the November election must under the laws of this state pay their poll taxes before May 4. Those who have not paid their poll taxes since 1921 will be required to pay three years' back taxes with interest and penalties, totaling $5.09. It is the duty of every person qualified under the statutes to register and vote. Briefs and Spices The one good thing about the man with a get rich quick scheme is his elusive rebuttal. The irony of fate makes a lot of people good who are inclined otherwise. It takes money to stage a front-page scandal. They say men are known by the company they keep. But in the Teapot Dome controversy, it is revealed that the company is known by the men who keep it. A news item says, the Howard faculty is to be investigated because it is reported that the students are being taught Darwinism. Monkey shines will out. The supply of peace talk, oil talks and creed talk will automatically subside when the innocent bystander ceases to appear interested. Harry Wills, in reply to Dempsey's article belittling him as a heavyweight contender says "prize fights cannot be settled in newspapers." That's good horse sense couched in words nobody can dispute. Nobody believes you when you say George Washington never told a lie because in the light of present day civilization the truth in public affairs is only obtained after extended investigation.

Public Pulse Editor, Journal and Guide Sir: As a group of young men who frequently meet and discuss various topics always ending in a dis- cussion of some part of the so-called Race Question, we have of ten wondered if other young Negroes have the same ideas along these lines that we have. Included in our group are butlers, carpenters, clerks, gardeners, electricians, porters, etc., all men between 21 and 35 years of age. One young man who is an electrician and very much interested in Saskatchewan, has names of the ten greatest living inventors, as chose by a well known magazine. There was not a Negro's name on the list. This caused us to try to name ten great Negro inventors, but either the inventors are few or our knowledge was so limited that we did not get to name ten great Negroes in other lines of endeavor and the discussion became quite interesting. Finally, however, we decided to name twelve of the greatest living American Negroes from as many different lines of work as possible. Owing to the lack of our reasons for naming those listed below, but we would like to see some list chosen by others. While on the subject we might add that lives of great men often inspire others to greater efforts so why not more discussion on the subject of Great Negro Men and Women? The list follows: Carver, Science; Hayes, Singer; Duffs, Author; Brathwaite, Literary Critic; Burleigh, Composer; Mrs. Malone, Business; James Weldon Johnson, Post; Gilpin, Actor; Kelly Miller, Educator; Tandy, Architect; Moton, Educato; Herman Perry, Business.

Sir:—My attention has been called to a letter appearing in the columns of your valuable publication coming from Mr. H. H. Price, renouncing my appointment of him as a delegate to the Lincoln League Convention at Chicago, February 12th and 13th. I cannot unmount myself, and decline to accept the honor conferred upon him because he was not elected by the people of the Third District of Virginia when he fails to produce a certificate of election to the position of National Leader and one authorizing him to organize a National independent movement entirely his own and for his personal use and to be represented in connection with the organization of the Lincoln League of America, and therefore is entirely ignorant as to how committeemen and delegates are elected, as authorized by its by-laws, etc. However that may be, it is an organization leading up to the ideal finale which Mr. Price is now dreaming of, if he can lamps and join hands with willing workers, he may be able to learn a few things himself as well as render whatever service of value he is in position to do. No, I do not believe he will be permit- Saturday, February 16, 1924 led to become the president and Grand Imperial Potentate at the very beginning, or to preach race hatred; but I am impulse he will be allowed a voice and an opportunity to call for the co-operation of the members of the League in helping to better the political conditions of the colorado citizens on his district of his district his honest aim—it is also that of the League and its support is assured all those who seek to help the whole racial group; men who are out to create rebellion and discontent for themselves so that they may reap a profit therefrom, privately will not be encouraged nor be permitted to flourish. desire to enter into a relationship with the gentlemen from the Capitol will apply to his letter as published is more to enlighten his single-tracked mind for his own benefit and as a protection to the published is more to enlighten his district; therefore please consider the file closed and no further correspondence in any form necessary. Yours with much respect. Spirit of the Press Howard University From Washington (D. C.) Sentinel The recent action of the House of Representatives in striking out, on points of order by Representative Byrnes, of South Carolina, of items in the Interior Department Bill totalling $207,500 was a very unfortunate and deplorable action. It is a blow at the heart of the nation's air dealings. For more than fifty years Howard University has stood here in the Nation's Capital as a beacon light, a testimonial, although inadequate, to the belief in these United States of America that the millions of slaves and their descendants are entitled to a square deal—to an opportunity for all men are due and desire, development of their God-given talents. General O. O. Howard, in establishing Howard University, felt the situation after the war when he with Federal aid and support brought it into being. After the war, after the actual bodily emancipation of the slaves, here was been their spiritual rehabilitation—the offering of an opportunity to them to acquire that long neglected knowledge and spiritual freedom The men and women who although in limited numbers benefited by Howard's training a man would be be challenged so to speak to missionaries of education and opportunity and proper leadership. And so, Howard University has come down to us for more than half a century, each year growing in power and influence and increased facilities for fulfilling its mission. For more than half a century, this Nation through its Congress, has realized and responded to its responsibility by approval of a new extension. Several times during this period, the University's stipend has been the target for attacks of one kind cripple the institution by withholding financial support. Each time better, better counsel has prevailed and the items have been restored. That the utterances of a member of the Trustee Board should be made the occasion for this most recent attack, cannot but be considered as a puerile reason. Why should the welfare and interest of thousands—yea, millions be jeopardized because of exceptions taken to the address of a highly respected and influential minister of the gospel who, although identified with the university as a trustee, was only giving utterance to his own feelings and that of millions of his fellows, and certainly only operating within the constitutional boundaries of the church of God, is quite certain that Justice will prevail and that this institution will emerge from this attack more strongly entrenched in the hearts of the nation than ever before and that Congress will resent this unfair and utterly unwarranted attack. The Whatnot Column BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.) 97. Who was William Still? One of the most active workers in freeing slaves was William Still. He was chairman and secretary of the eastern branch of the many ingenious schemes such as placing the fugitives in boxes and cases, disguising men in female attire, secreting odd corners in steamers, teaching them to ape white-folks actions, etc., proved of exceptional value in nudging the slaves to freedom. Mr. Still in after years wrote a book "The Underground Railroad." What objections did the "New York Times" summarize in regards to enlisting colored soldiers for service in 1862? The "New York Times" of February 19th 1683, in an editorial summed up the objections to enlisting colored soldiers as follows: First, that the Negroes will not fight. Second, that the whites will not fight with them, and prejudice will be so strong that we shall lose two white soldiers from one black one that we gain. Third, that free states of Negroes will we can get few, because the rebels will push them southward as fast as we advance upon them. Fourth the use of Negroes will exasperate the South. "We presume it will," comments the "Times" but so will any other scheme we may adopt which is warlike and effective in its character and results; and the best thing we can do is to possess ourselves in patience while the experiment is being tried." 99. Who organized the first Southern Colored Regiment during the Civil War? To General David Hunter, commanding the army in the South, is given the honor of organizing the first Southern Colored Regiment. He could not get white recruits and was surrounded by a multitude of able-bodied Negroes, who were idle. He anxious to serve as soldier; in advance of military organization the organized a regiment was called to account for it by the Secretary of War. He replied that he had instructions to employ all loyal persons in defense of the Union and the suppression of the rebellion; and declared that the loyalty of the Negro was beyond question. 100. Shall we make an ammi- versary of March twelfth? The American people hold in special reverence a few men who by their deeds 'have proved themselves worthy of emulation, especially Washington and Lincoln. In celebrating the days on which these men were born, we are not so much honoring them as we hold up for emulation the principles by which they live—their ideals in so far as they translated these into their It is good for the oldest and wisest and best-of us to think on noble deeds and high ideals, but it is particularly fitting to hold these up to boys and girls. If in some life, which for any reason appeals to them, we can point to deeds which follow high ideals, we give them the keenest possible stimulation to fashion their lives by what is noble. In Charles Young we Negress fits a man, peculiarly fitted to use high aspiration to nobil ambition to our own. A Point graduate, attaining step by step thru no fortunes of war and without compromise a colonyk in the American Army—just these two facts considered in the light of his race and color—for Charles Young was not only a Negro, he was black—sum up a character at every point inspiring. So let us, who believe in the possibilities of our own people, to successive generations of boys and girls, by year year recalling the life of this man, which we are prone to consider a handicap in this American civilization, can be turned into a source of spiritual strength which can carry us to any height—even of material achievement. Let us keep March 12th not only as an anniversary of the birth of a great man, but as a day of in, in Negro boys and girls of all time. A week before the Armistice which ended the Great War a traveler through the South would have been struck with the wonderful solidarity of the population, white and colored. In the support of of the war they were united as never before. Two hundred thousand Negro youth were fighting for the flag in France and many more were preparing to go over. The millions back at home, spending heartily to every warrior present and in proportion to their means quite as generously as any other group. The white people were unstinted in their praise of the Negro's loyalty, while the Negro, encouraged by the shirving utterances of President Wilson and the democratic ideals of the war, felt that in the future things would not be quite the same. He looked for more sympathy, of preference, of the people of his constitutional right of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Race antagonism was forgotten in devotion to a common cause. A week after the Armistice one might have observed a subtle but ominous change. Distrust was beginning to get abroad. What would be the attitude of the Negro troops when they returned from France? In secondary rumors filled the air, and by the time the Negro soldiers began to return suspicion and fear had taken deep hold upon both races. Mob violence, which had greatly declined during the war, the army resisted the war, and many riots flamed up with casualties on both sides. The tension tightened everywhere, and the nation awaited the outcome with dread suspense. It was in this crisis that the Commission on Interracial Cooperation came into existence. Oppressed with the ominous possibilities of the situation, a small group of Southern leaders met day after day in Atlanta, earnestly seeking some meaus of averting the threat, ened calamity by bringing to the front the constructive Christian leadership of both races. At the center of this group were John J. Eagan, manufacturer and church pastor, and a representative of the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council, was in close touch with the returning Negro troops, and Dr. M. Ashby Jones, pastor of a leading Atlanta Church It happened that these three represented three of the strongest Southern denominations--Presbyterian Methodist and Baptist. Out of the thought and prayer of these men and others like them the Commission on Interracial Cooperation was born early in 1919. The commission was named of leading educators, ministers, business and professional men from every State in the South, including a number of outstanding Negro leaders. The situation was desperate and the effort to cover the field with a close and effective organization was underway. The committees were organized thruout the South and men were out in Broadcasted by the School of Public Health, Howard University, Washington, . . . C.-Algerson B. Jackuon, M. D. Director, Not only do I thank God for the Negro Press, but I pray that He will give more power each day to its long sweeping arm, in our crusade for better health, social and economic conditions among Negroes, the Press is unquestionably the biggest and most powerful factor within the appalled some weeks ago in the Washington Tribune, a newspaper, and it needs no comment: 45 More Deaths Than Births in November According to the reports sent out by the Health Department of the District of Columbia, there were 205 deaths among the colored people during November and 255 among the whites. The registration of births show 160 colored and 466 whites. There were 151 more births than deaths among the whites; while 45 more deaths than births were registered among the colored people. This is an alarming condition that should attract the attention of the health authorities, the local Colored Medical Association that has the interests of the race at heart. Forty-five more deaths than births among the colored people of Washington, in one month. Who will locate this cause and suggest the remedy? The race cannot multiply and make progress when it is losing more members; death that it is producing by birth; this in the most highly cultured group of peoples in the world. What is the answer to this condition? Does it mean that all of our births are not recorded? Is the result of poor medical attention? Is it the result of poor housing conditions? The Tribune is interested in every phase of the progress of the race. We are calling the attention of the public to this condition, for we fear that little attention is given to the reports of the Health Department. There three times as many whites as colored in the Disprict, there are less than a hundred deaths more among the whites than among colored. This is out of all proportion. Our births compare favorably according to our population, with the whites; 150 to 160. But the number of deaths in 295, is far too great a proportion in an ordinary month. Let us find the remedy this condition requires. From the Evening Star of Wash- ington, a white daily I chipped the following article and am posi- tioned that you may later read and reflect. Negroes Swell Figures Baltimore, MD., May. 21—Out of every 1,000 babies balkive in Maryland, ninety-four died in 1922 before reaching ten months of age, which is eight deaths in excess of the infant mortality in excess of the birth registration area of the United States. These figures are given in the latest pamphlet issued by the bureau of child hygiene. Maryland State Department of Health. In general, it is declared that the highest infant death rates are found in those counties that the largest Negro population, and high underprivileged and unhygienic surroundings and increased danger to the whole community. the field to set up as quickly as possible local committees in every community where the problem was acute. It was a staggering task and fraught with peculiar difficulties, but with the cooperation of the Y. M. C. A. machinery and the War Work Council it was accomplished in record time. The result fully justified the effort. A better spirit immediately appeared. Suspicion and distrust began to give way to understanding and confidence. The forces of law and order were encouraged and strengthened. The fires of hate and the threatened configuration was averted, largely without doubt, through the agencies set in motion by the Commission. Having proved its efficacy in the crisis which called it into being it was felt that the Commission should enter upon the task of permanently improving race relations through Christian basis. South-wide campaign of good will was accordingly projected, aimed at the creation of a better society the correction of prejudices, and understanding and sympathy between the races. The methods employed in this effort and a general survey of the results attained will be set forth in the two succeeding numbers of this series. Not For Thirty Days At Least New York City—(K.N.F.S.) "I'll never come back, Judge, look best," pleddied William Guy, as he faced Magistrate March in the Traffic Court, last Thursday, in the hope that the Judge would deem leniently with him. "Not for thirty days," replied the magistrate, as he sent him to the work house for that length of time.
