LANS MAPPED OUT OR ANNUAL GATHERING Chicago, Ill.—(A. N. P.)—Unrejudiced comment among the delegates and visitors attending the Negro Sanhedrin Conference would indicate that as a vehicle toward the land of "Union" which was the announced goal, the meeting qualified. In fact, there was, in addition to the spirit of uniting the forces variously represented, an evidence of harmony and tolerance. The so-called "leader" as a dominant factor, present usually in former Negro national meets if present, lacked all atmosphere or background to engage a spot light. The conference, then, must be considered a combination of groups, mass or organization, factors where single-handed bigness unless recognized as representative of some national or at least state-wide agency was left out of the picture. There was not enough political methods practiced in the guidance NEGROES AID WHITE GIRL ABANDONED BY MEN AFTER JOYRIDE NEGROES AID WHITE GIRL ABANDONED BY MEN AFTER JOYRIDE Two Arrested as Result of Nocturnal Escapade in Princess Anne County. A Negro family living near Herbert's Station on Indian River road in Princess Anne County yesterday played the role of Good Samaritan to a nineteen-year-old white girl who had been abandoned by her male companions of an all-night joyrode. The girl was found by the colored people in an automobile in a drunken stupor. She was barefoot, bareheaded, and numb from cold. The colored people took the young woman into their house. A message was sent to the Norfolk police. Detectives Kilpatrick and Adams responded. The warmth in the house of her benefactors and restored the girl to consciousness, and she was able to give an account of events leading up to the time the colored people found her, alone in the stranded automobile. As result of her story, warrants were issued by Princess Anne County authorities at request of County Officier Claude H. Fenness, against Charles Ashley, of Herbert's Station, and Bud Davis, giving his address as Berkley. The men are accused of transporting liquor and of violating the Mann Act. Both are in the Nortorf city jail, pending hearing before Justice of Peace, J. Frank Bell, of Princess Anne County, this morning at 10 o'clock.

Prominent in this group were the Dispatching Secretary, representing the Governmt, the members of the Colonial Council, Ministers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and officers and members of the St. Croix Benevolent Society.

Suffolk, Va.-Mr. and Mrs. Carey, daughter and son-in-law of Mr. S. G. Paris, who has been located in this city for several months, arrived here January 28, from Iowa, making the nearly 2000-mile trip by automobile. Mr. Carey drove his Ford truck, while Mrs. Carey piloted a Maxwell touring car. Mrs. Carey is believed to have broken all distance records for women drivers, having crossed Summit mountains, 4 miles long out of Uniontown, Pa.; Geysers Ridge Mountain, 2894 feet; Negro Mountain, elevation 2850 feet.

WASHINGTON INSIDE-OUT HENRY FORD'S renewed effort to get control of the Government's nitrate plants at Muscle Shoals, Ala., comes at a bad time, in view of the Senate Oil investigation. A number of Senators declare that if Henry Ford or any other private citizen or corporation leases or buys the Muscle Shoals property, there will be another great scandal just like the row stirred up over the leasing of naval oil lands. They point out that the nitrates which Ford wants to make into fertilizer will be solely needed by the Government in the manufacture of munitions in the event of another war and that the plants should never pass from the control of the War department. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S unlimited use of the personal pronoun "I" in his recent public speeches, in explaining what the Government has accomplished during his Administration, has caused considerable comment in official and political circles here. There are some who suggest that the President is taking entirely too much credit unto himself, but on the other hand it is pointed out that the President leaves no doubt as to whom he is talking about and that all his statements are clear, concise and have a Lineolnesque bruseness. WHEN SENATOR Thomas J. Walsh of Montana broke into the headlines in the oil probe he sported the most gorgeous moustache exlant anywhere on the eastern seaboard. It was of the so-called "walrus" type—a flowing, western moustache, which hung over and below his lips. The Senator's pictures began to appear frequently in the New York and Washington newspapers and it is reported that Walsh was not at all pleased with his likeness as thus exhibited. So thenceforth to the Senate barber-shop, and off comes most of the famous moustache. Walsh now looks like a Wall Street banker, but he is still hot on the trail of the oil grafters. STRENUOUS EFFORTS are being made in Congress to revive enthusiasm for the proposed Government loan of $50,000,000 to feed starving Germans. The measure received a serious setback when Otto Wiedfeldt, the German Ambassador, refused to lower the Embassy flag to half-staff in honor of Woodrow Wilson. The State Department may ask Berlin for an official explanation and Wiedfeldt's recall is expected. IF THE PRESIDENT continues to insist that the Mellon tax plan be approved by Congress in toto there will be nothing for him to do but veto the bill when it finally gets to the White House. Republican leaders have agreed that the bill cannot get through as drafted by the Secretary of the Treasury and that there will have to be bigger reductions in the rates on small incomes, objections of the President notwithstanding. ANOTHER AMERICAN of mod (Continued on Page Six) PROF. CHARLES H. REYNOLDS Prof. Charles H. Reynolds has assumed his duties as principal of Booker T. Washington High School, succeeding Prof. D. G. Jacox. He came to Norfolk from Clarke University, Atlanta, Ga., and was recommended to the school authorities here as an able educator with broad experience in teaching and supervisory school work. He holds degrees from several northern colleges and has successfully held positions in pedagogical work that required the possession of unusual talents. Prof. Reynolds has expressed a sincere interest in the educational, moral and civic welfare of the citizens of Norfolk and hopes by his presence here to be able to contribute something to the elevation of both. The congregation of First Calvary Baptist Church, corner Wide and Henry streets, one of the most pretentious church edifices in the South and consisting of a large membership has extended a call to Rev.

Edwards signed by a large number of colored citizens requesting a withdrawal of the appointment of a white man as custodian of the new colored high school and the election of a colored man instead, the school board voted to reaffirm its previous action and retain Mr. Myers in his position at this school. Attorney Edwards after presenting the petition argued briefly and pointedly in support of it. The school board, it is claimed, adhered to the view that as yet no colored man competent for the position was known to its members. A further contention was that such appointment rested entirely within the prerogative of the school board, asserting that several colored men are employed at the white schools.

Nashville, Teem—The general public office of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity through its publicity manager, F. W. Turner has announced the Douglass Scholarship Campaign for the month of February. As the curtain rises upon the Phi Beta Sigma's fourth annual "Douglass Scholarship Campaign," every Phi Beta man ought to feel a new spirit of pride and satisfaction in being a part and parcel of an organization that has gone before the world fostering one of the world's greatest movements. From practically every nook and corner of the United States, come reports of commendation and success of a service well done. The splendid results of this educational campaign are unmistakable. Everywhere in the country genuine cooperation has been given by churches, schools, civies and other organizations and individuals. Great determination is manifested by students now in school and students who finished school have been made to realize the need of the Douglass Scholarship Campaign. The Douglass was established in 1920 as a memorial to Frederick Douglass. An essay contest is the method by which the winner is determined. The establishment of the scholarship emphasizes the increasing usefulness of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity in the life of the colored students. The fraternity, through its twenty eight chapters and two thousand members seek to serve mankind in terms of practical, usefulness. What Phi Beta Sigma is doing for human uplift is but a part of the constructive work that is being done by the colored fraternities and sororities for the advancement of education and in the deepening of the sources of racial culture. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers IN PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR MES ference TTITUDE In League Allegiance by Principles RACE POLITICS THOROLY AIRED IN SPIRITED MEET Mount Guns For Opening Warfare In Ensuing Presidential Campaign; Demands Fair Play of Party.

The Reverend W. W. Lucas, pastor of Institutional A. M. E. Church, was introduced and spoke briefly. The attention of the convention was called to the failure of Ohio Republicans to put a colored man on the slate of Coolidge delegates to the National Convention by E. T. Banks of Dayton, Ohio. The convention authorized a telegram to be sent to Hoke Donithen, the Coolidge campaign manager in Ohio. It was as follows: "We, the Lincoln League of America in convention assembled conscious of the increase in the delegated representation of Ohio in the Republican National Convention, urge the propriety of placing a colored member on the Ohio delegation at large." John L. Webb, of Hot Springs, Ark., advised the convention that colored Republicans in Arkansas were being ignored. The convention then adopted a resolution, a copy of which was to be sent to II. L.

Following the announcement in this paper last week that Fordas is a new and desirable residence for educated people has been available on the Berkley side by Bridge Incorporation of the Paige estate, including Campbella. It has a park housing that more, with the announcement, will begin on the Ford plant at once, an immediate boom in property sales at Foodsview developed. Attorney R. G. L. Peige stated Wednesday that he was pleasantly surprised at the demand the announcement has already created for lots at Fordview. More than a dozen were engaged in the first few days of the week besides a large number of others, the property and anticipate making a selection there shortly. At least two purchasers have already expressed a desire to build at once. After commending the pulling power of the Journal and Guide advertisements, Mr. Peige stated he felt thoroughly satisfied with the progress of sales to date which that Fordview will be a real community within a short while. Fordsworth is within a few minutes walk of Newton Park, the Ford site, and offers excellent advantages for homes near what promises to be one of the largest industries in Tidewater. It is adjacent to Campostella, giving southeast of the boulevard. Property values in this section have shown a steady advance for the past ten years. It is also a well-built a promoted rise with the opening of the Ford works. However, Paige's Incorporated has set the price of lots at Fordsworth at a very nominal price and in all probability will maintain them at such. Of courses, the choice lots will find the most ready sale, and prospective purchasers are urged to make reservations at once. The property is convenient to Newfolk city proper by street car, automobile and on-road applause. It is a white people, and there is no doubt that it would not now be available to colored residents, except for the fact it is the estate of a colored family. —The entertainment will take place Monday, February 25.

RACE SANDHEDRIN (Continued from Page One) If the deliberations to eliminate the thought trapping up here are there that the delegates and ever more people are feeling their way to avoid any rocks. But thanks to the mental attitude of the attending strong, there were no rocks either under foot or in the air. That makes up the opinion on the meeting to include harmony along with union. MARKED DELIBERATIONS MANHESSED The conduct, composition and result of the Sanhedrin might also be described as a surprise. More organizations were actually registered or attending than had been expected. This thought was shared by those present. They were surprised to see "the other fellow." It was shared as they were some important national and com-munitionaries who did not arrive because presence was merely suggested by lesser lights of their immediate "family" or on their official staff. These attending with the expectation of radical or hurried decisions on the part of the conference must have been disappointed. Most of the matters of resolution or organization were accompanied by opposition, and the latter was the decisive in form. Even the rules laid down for organization, the constitution and the like, were accompanied by expressions that these plans and decisions were in the very nature of things only tentative. One outstanding spirit however, prevailed that overshadowed all the efforts of the delegation of the Negro Sancho district as the future court of courts for guidance of the race in all matters affecting the colored people of America and their relation to others of African descent and also to other race or national group; and that such a Negro Sancho court would be a plenary and continuously operative active organization. No one individual will be properly written in the records as the central figure in the actual deliberations. Even Kelley Miller who inaugurated the movement and called the forces to Chicago for conference seemed not to stand in the picture as a hero or central figure. National movements and organizations were too numerous represented, each with their own heads—Kings or Exalted rulers—to demean than stand on the same level. Kelly Miller merely serve an contact point between the church and that Christ's formula for making the servant the leader will force a leadership not now fully appreciated. SANHEDRIN QUALIFIES Whatever else may be said covering single expressions, the fact is evident that the Sanhedrin not only lived up to its call but as an initial attempt to find the right goal got its hearing. Its progress, difficult to calculate in terms of time may be uncertain. But its in the race of other world movements; it qualified. Chicago, Ill., Feb.—(A. N. P.)—The Commission on Findings and Permanent Results at the Sanhedrin conference in its report said in part: Your committee has considered its duty to be a careful examination of the reports of the several special commissions as well as a review of the properties and discussions of the sessions with the view of finding the consensus of opinion on the fundamental issues of the case situation and of formulating some common program of policy and action. From the unanimous and sustained approval of the Sanhedrin idea in all conferences and discussions, we assert our conviction that the permanence of the movement is assured, and both the principle and the specifics of the movement are on the fundamentals of race policy have been demonstrated. We command gratefully and a dh who整heartedly the initiative, wisdom and constructive leadership of Kelly Miller, sponsor of the movement, and with equal emphasis command the hearty response and unreserved endorsement of the sixty or more organizations participating. We regard as highly significant and as indicative of an awakened group spirit the willingness of men and women to survey individualities and personalities and submit themselves to this unique demonstration of the principle of common purpose and cooperative spirit. This conference will birth to the conviction that we are now ready as a group to undertake a common program embodied with the least possible division of opinion our common needs and狭小的 interests. After reviewing the many detailed suggestions of the various commissions, which will be made available in the printed report of the general proceedings, we beg to report as backed by an overeaching consensus of opinion the following: 1. That the conference be continued on a permanently organized basis as formulated by the Committee on Organization. 2. That there be maintained at Washington, D. C., as part of the under supervision of the Executive Council of the Negro Sanctuary a Commission on Public Information to keep informed of matters relating to Negro interests, especially with respect to congressional legislation. 2. That the body is assured that the Sanhedrin project in no way compromises the individual independence or infringes upon the special activities of the constituent organizations, but will be objective in coordinating their efforts and supporting necessary measures by a greater unanimity of public opinion and publication. The Commission then makes recommendations on health, education, the press, race movements, domestic and foreign; fraternal organizations, religion, inter-racial relations, politics and public utterances, women's movements and organizations, labor, business; race knowledge, school of science, music, literature and art, and the college youth.

Bishop John Hurst Senate Again Rejects Cohen's Nomination (Continued From Page One) them. In accordance with the customs of the Senate whenever a nominee is personally objectionable to a Senator from his State out of senatorial courtesy his nomination is rejected. This is the second time that Mr. Cohen has failed of confirmation. The Senator refused to confirm him because of the objections of these Senators on March 3. 1923, by a vote of 27 to 35. Ten Republicans joined the Democrats and made possible his defeat. At that time some of the Republican Senators who voted against him served notice that thereafter in the Senate they would not nominate personal objections would have to state the reasons for such objections or they would not feel themselves bound to vote against confirmation. These statements led those who were interested in Mr. Cohen's appointment to believe that if the President would send his name to the Sixty-eighth Congress he would have been given the opportunity. Harring gave him another recess appointment. Mr. Cohen again assumed the duties of this office on May 6, 1923. President Coolidge renominated him on December 10, 1023. 'But he was again defeated although the Republans have a chance to win.' majority. In all Mr. Cohen was given two recess appointments and three nomination. His first recess appointment was on November 5, 1922. He first took charge of the office on November 17, 1922. He was first nominated in this month during the extra session of Congress. The committee on Commerce, to which the nomination was referred, failed to report it out and his commission expired with the expiration of the extra session December 6, 1922. On March 3, 1923, the nomination was rejected by a vote of 27 to 35. He was again given a recess appointment and assumed the duties of the office again on March 26, 1923. President Coolidge renominated him on December 10, 1923, and the nomination was rejected on February 14, 1924. Mr. Cohen is one of the best known colored Americans in the United States. He is held in highest esteem in the community in which he lives by both races. He is the secretary of the Republican State Central Committee and has been active in politics for more than a quarter of a century. He was Register of the Land Office at New Orleans under both President McKinley and President Roosevelt.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1924 AIDS GROWTH OF POTATOES Tubers and Orchids Owe Their Existence to Tiny Parasitical Plants. Common potatoes and beautiful orchids owe their existence to queer partnerships with tiny fungus plants. Dr. George H. F. Nuttall, director of Molteno institute for research in parasitology of Cambridge university, pointed out in an address here. When potato plants are raised from seed, tubers are not formed upon the roots unless they are invaded by a microscopic fungus. In soil free from the fungi, rubization does not occur. In the case of many orchids the seed will not germinate without the assistance of fungi. Dr. Nuttall said that this condition of partnership life may be regarded as balancing between two extremes—complete immunity and deadly infective disease. It probably originated as a conflict in which one of the partners was a parasite on the other, but in course of time ended in mutual adaptation. It is by no means so rare a phenomenon as was formerly supposed, he explained. In some cases the microscopic partner becomes a permanent inhabitant of the cells of the host plant or animal, and may even be transmitted from host to host hereditarily. He predicted further discoveries in parasitism and in these mutual partnership arrangements of life - Minneapolis Journal. WELSH ARE PEOPLE APART Have Less Connection With England Than Those of Scotland and Ireland. Wales is the territory in the west of the Island of Great Britain lying between the mouth of the Dee and the Bristol channel. It is inhabited by a distinct race, the descendants of the ancient Britons who took refuge in the mountains and dales of Western Great Britain at the time of the Anglo-Saxon invasion. These "Welshmen" (foreigners) as the English call them, or Cyrenus as they call themselves, are not only different from the English in language, customs, religious life, culture, in fact, in all that goes to make up national personality, but are actually more widely sundried from their English neighbors than are either the Scots to the north of them or the Irish to the farther west.-Alfred E. Zimmerm in the Century Magazine. Full of "Go." A Glasgow man who had a friend who was the manager of a large business house in London sent a letter to the latter asking him if he could give a job to a certain young man he knew. The Londoner read the letter and after interviewing the young man gave him a clerkship in his firm's counting house. Some time later the two friends met, and the Glasgow man ventured to hope that his recommendation had been productive of good results. "Quite the contrary," replied the manager. "Well, well! I thought he was the tarmay you were looking for." "So he is, so he is!" was the sad response. "What do you mean?" said his friend. "I thought he would suit you. He was so full of go." "He was" replied the other. "He has gone with 1,000 pounds sterling of my money." Father Takes Son To Jail Vicksburg, Miss., Feb.—(A. N. P.)-Overhearing a conversation in the street to the effect that the police were looking for a Negro boy with a cut hand as the murderer of Mrs. Nellie Mardiss, 62-year-old storekeeper, John Obery went home to find his son, Philip, with his hand bandaged from a cut.

Race Politics Thoroly Aired In Meeting (Continued From Page One) than the failure to elect any colored men to membership on the state committee and to give representation to colored Republicans on the delegation to the National Convention "will be detrimental to the best interest of the Republican party throughout the Nation." President's Address On Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock the second session of the convention was held. After the report of the credentials committee, President Simons began his address to the convention. Seated on the platform were John T. Adams chairman of the Republican Natoian Committee, the guest of honor; Medill McCormick, United States Senator from Illinois; Frank P. Litschert secretary to Mr. Adams; Mrs. Medill McCormick, and Miss Edwards, who has charge of the Coolidge campaign work among women in the Chicago headquarters, as well as the most prominent colored members of the convention. In this setting, Roscoe C. Simmons, as he delivered his address, was at his best. "This convention," he said, "represents the golden heart of the American Negro, who believes in himself, in his country and his countrymen." He paid a glowing tribute to Major John R. Lynch, honorary president of the Lincoln League of America, and reviewed the incidents leading up to his election as temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention in 1884. John T. Adams, the guest of honor was then presented. Mr. Adams' remarks were confined to Abraham Lincoln and an appeal to aspire to that sterling Republicanism that was laid down for us so clearly by the man we remember now.

NEAR CALVERT McCormick Speaks Robert S. Abbott, editor of The Chicago Defender, introduced Senator Medill M.Cormick. The Senator delivered a wonderful address on present day injustices and the preservation of our liberties vouchsafed by the Constitution. He said in part as follows: "There are grave injustices here under a constitution dedicated to the proposition that all men are created free and equal. No honest man can assert that everywhere and all times is equal justice done in this land. But I say to you that I have traveled the world well-tight all-round and nowhere else in the world under any flag has any such number of men and women of your blood made such progress politically, socially, culturally and economically as here in America. "My friends, I will not argue upon the habitual and almost historic violation of the political rights supposed to be guaranteed to Americans by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments; but I say to you that since the signing of the armistice in almost every quarter of the country—North, East and West as well as South—those other rights of free worship, free assemblage, free speech, of every man freely to pursue his lawful vacation, to enjoy his property lawfully acquired or inherited, are violated either by mobs or officers of the law who have violated the law. "This is a matter which concerns every American in every state of the United States. For in safar as and inasmuch as we consent to the repeated violations of the rights of one citizen, we endanger the rights of every citizen in America." Tuskegee Hospital Discussed the sessions on Wednesday were stormy. Conditions in the Virginia Islands were discussed and a resolution referred to the committee on resolutions. Homer G. Phillips, of St. Louis, Mo., opened a discussion of conditions at the United States hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and the storm broke. After Dr. J. L. Leach of Michigan and Leut. George W. Lee of Tennessee had spoken, Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia obtained the door. Mr. Johnson reviewed from the beginning to the present the things that had transpired with reference to this hospital and emphatically declared that Major Moton is opposed to a colored head. Others who spoke were Oscar Adams of Birmingham, Ala., B. M. Roddy, of Memphis, Teen., and Perry W. Howard, Special assistant to the Attorney General. The League went on record as favoring a complete colored personnel and authorized the president to appoint a committee to go directly to the Whistle House and make known the views of the League to the President. Debate Grows Hot A resolution petitioning President Coolidge to correct the wrong done Georgia Republicans by the establishment and recognition of an irregular organization was read by B. J. Davis, editor of The Atlanta Independent, who moved its adoption. This precipitated a bitter debate on the expediency of the adoption of such resolutions. Homer G. Phillips and Perry W. Howard led the opposition. B. J. Davis and Henry Lincoln Johnson spoke in favor of their adoption. After the debate had waxed extremely hot, the resolutions were referred to a special committee for revision of the language. When the special committee made its report, Mr. Howard gained the floor and in an impassionate speech vigorously opposed the adoption of the resolution. After hours of acrimonious debate, which carried the morning session into the night, and after Henry Lincoln Johnson had made a personal appeal for their adoption, the resolutions as revised were adopted. On Thursday morning a short extra session was held to complete business. The committee on address to the country made its report. The convention then adjourned to meet in Chicago, Illinois, February 12, 1925. There will be a meeting of the executive committee in Cleveland, Ohio, Monday, June 9. DR. JERNIGAN TALKS TO N.C.

After finishing his main address Dr. Jeremiah in reply to questions outlined the purpose of the National Race Congress of America as an organization standing for true leadership and opposed to the radical element among the race that seeks to stir up the passion of the American Negro to force immigration, rather than to appeal to the conscience of not. Program of Civic Activities From this meeting and other meetings in Raleigh, it is quite evident that a period of Reformation is taking place among the colored citizens of Raleigh. In all my life, I was never at a more enthusiastic meeting than I was on last Tuesday night of this week when President Britton Pearce called on different members to tell what could be done to improve social and economical conditions among the colored people. The first to respond was Dr. J. H. Love, who advanced the idea of a Carving Factory, a park and more business places. He was followed by Dr. McCaulley, Prof. Frazier, Mr. C. E. Lighter, Mr. L. E. Graves and all the rest of the members present—each presenting a new phrase, still all agreeing. Raleigh must come to the top say, these men. One of the outstanding contributions of Raleigh during the past year, has been the McCaulley Private Hospital, an institution that is doing very efficient work. It is kept in the best sanitary condition. Within the past year this institution has had one hundred and sixty one (161) patients and has only lost one. Raleigh and the surrounding community are proud of Dr. McCaulley and his Private Hospital. League Endorses Coolidge For The Next President Chicago, Ill., Feb. 18—The Lincroie League of America—the one national political organization of colored Americans—set a prece NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE dent at its convention last week by endorsing President, Coolidge for nomination and election. LINCOLN L The resolution for endorsement was offered by Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia. The motion to adopt was seconded by Mrs. Leibia C. Fleming, of Cleveland, Ohio. When Roscoe C. Simmons put the question, it went through with a whoop. In the convention were Hiram Johnson sympathizers, but they knew it would be useless to talk "Johnson" in a Lincoln League convention since Johnson recently opposed the restoration of the rights of southern colored Republicans in the National Convention. The resolution was vigorously supported by Perry W. Howard, E. W. Henry, W. C. Matthews, J. B. Eass, Seipio A. Jones, Walter L. Cohen, R. R. Church, Charles II, Callaway and others. It is as follows: "The Lincoln League of America, in regular convention assembled, on this the birthday of the father of the Republican party, Abraham Lincoln, n. congratulates the Republican party and the country that in these troublous times of confusion upon, having as the chief magistrate of this country a man unexcelled in sincerity, in statesmanship and in courage—Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States; and the convention aforesaid hereby endorses the candidacy of Calvin Coolidge for the Republican nomination for President of the United States of America and commends to our citizens in all sections of our country to join in and help nominate and elect him because of his fitness for the Presidency at this hour and because of his high and lofty Christian character."

Special to The Journal and Guide Chicago, Ill., Feb. 18—The address to the country adopted by the convention of the Lincoln League of America is one of the strongest papers that organization ever drew. The committee was headed by Charles A. Cottrill, Ohio, and the address follows: "The Lincoln League of America, in regular assembled convention, reiterates its principles as thus far pronounced. They are: "The equality of all men of all bloods and races, and the joint ownership of the United States by those who have defended it; by those who discovered and developed its resources. "Belief in the future of the American Negro as an American; determination to remain under the flag made sacred by our blood and light in out; pride in our achievements that answers all who revile us. "The membership of the Lincoln League is composed of native Americans, whose ancestry found life in the death of Lincoln." Political Allegiance "The Lincoln League reaffirms its allegiance to that political party which gave Lincoln to the world and a race to liberty. "In its efforts to train and educate a race—thirteen million strong—in the spirit of the American Government and in respect for the orderly progress, the Lincoln League strives to vindicate the sword of Grant and the pen of Lincoln. "The Lincoln League finds pleasure in the character of Calvin Coolidge, President of our country. He represents the conscience of the Nation. He stands for the spirit of our Government. "The Lincoln League calls upon the race it represents to stand for law and stand behind the Government; to stand for all the law including the Eighteenth Amendment.

BERNARD YOUNG, Jr. The recent release of an All-American track team by Secretary quien of the A. U. U. seems to convince an amazing and exasperating document and selection in one of its details. By the time we have finished the column deidero to this paper all possible desire or utility may shall have been given from us. In our only act agitated state the only that occurred to us to present the smugly benevolent selections the secretary was "Oh, is that This retort we are afraid, is decidedly ineffective, unless bellowed in a loud and threatening voice, accompanied by brandishing of the fists and a mullingness to wade into assault and mayhem at once. We realize that as a protagonist of the rights of a democracy, or the rights of anything for the matter, we are a complete failure. Once our empathy are concerned, we remind of logic, progress slip from us completely. We should never become a Danton or a Mirabeau, but we have a smearing suspicion that if we were a little more numerous we should make an entirely satisfactory mob. Eventually, we calmed ourselves down by reading our own Dept. in the same paper. Even this sensitive did not restore us to normal but it did bring us close enough to sobriety to enable us to diagnose our indignation and discover its source. Apparently our waviness in the conviction which led us to sobriety or to some other that a democracy has no place for, or need of, a group of persons, or an individual whose narrow and arbitrary duty it is to do a thing and leave out of that action some of the best material. It is the evident hypocrisy and falseness which it uses chiefly. Apparently all men chosen to mediate this chosen to mediate that fight as far as the rest of mankind is concerned as immediately after birth as possible. In an oligarchy, we can see the use and propriety of partialities. In a nation supposedly composed of freedmen bearing the burdens and some of the privileges equally on them, the selection seems a dismal and rather abhorious joke. IN THE THEATRES The women of today need the dominating personality of the men of the 1850s.

THE ORDEAL The Ordeal the first original, the first original, the first original, for the screen by W. Somerset Maugham, author of "The Moon and Sixpence," and "The Circle," will be the feature at the Colonia Theatre next Thursday. It is a Paramount picture, starring Agnes Ayers. The film includes the star of the musical Angel Edward Sutherland. A deli. *Farrington Lloyd Whitlock, Edna Murphy, and Glara-DeBrey, "The Ordeal" is the result of a three month's stay in Lasky, studio during which time Mr. Maugham studied methods in order that his story might better live, existing screen requirements, and years' tour around the world and when last located was in the jangles of the Malaya peninsula. The Stage BY J. A. JACKSON. In The "Billboard" K. Nathapel-Ditte, Nargo, coun- pier and painter, who is head of of the, Music Dept. of, Hampon Institute, Hampton, Va., has secured his release from the school during he month of February and is devoting his time to concert work, giving lecture recitals and piano recitals of his own compos- itions. He will journey as far north of the country, for example, to Oklahoma City. In several cities he will conduct local choral or organizations that will render his very popular "Listen to the Lambs." Cleo Mac Dickerson conducted the opera, "Martha," recently in Chicago when Prof. James A. Murphy presented his group of colored artists in the piece of Aryan Grotesk's Dobson Hickins, Hare and Fills. A. J. Offord and others participated. Daily papers carried very favorable reviews. "Negro Nuances" "Negro Nuances" is the name of a product that the Cook Company in New York for an opening tefftively mentioned March 4. The piece is an assembling of the Negro musical history It is the refusal of the present system which countenances censors and, such people as the picker of this team, to permit the rank and file of humanity to form its own judgments, to establish its own policies, to hide the truth, that it arises us chiefly. A complete equipment of such people undoubtedly would make of such things a more orderly and safe and sane matter. But then, a man in Rubien's position has much influence and power in picking Olympic athletes, and secretary Rubien are accepted as furnishing a nucleus for the army of American athletics which will invade Paris next summer. Consequently if he overlooks such track stars as Albert Washington and men of race, it is easier to manipulate that something is radically wrong and that an over amount of Negroes will not negotiate the trip. However, he has, out of absolute necessity chosen Johnson in the five mile race, Charles West in the college Penthalon, and Def Hart Hubbard in the broad jump. Johnson last summer broke the three mile record—well decide for yourself. But Edwards and Washington have been left out entirely, and in like manner has the record holder of broad jump, Gourdini. Hubbard broke the hop, skip, and jump record yet he is not mentioned in that event. Edwards equaled in his heat in the last Olympics. Paddeck's record for the 100 meters, now holds the English 100, 220, and 440 yards championships. Any effort to present to the world such a selection without at least a mention of these great stars seems to us the deliberate pro-mulgation of a lie, and worst than that, the lowering of all ethics to the level of mere morality. To our mourn and faulty way of thinking, the more fairness these choices display the more nearly are they justifying their existence. It is going to be a rather hideous and hopeless time for much of mankind when such selections are so incomplete that only the bright stars of A race are allowed within earshot or eyeshot of the Rohir. The Rohir know, and probably does know, more than we, but, we don't agree with him in all of his details, and we have a right to our opinion. "Human Wreckage" Coming To Attucks Movie devotees will have the opportunity of witnessing the great heart-pull screen drama "Human Wreckage" at the Attackts Theatre Monday and Tuesday of next week. Mrs. Wallace Reid, whose husband, the greatest film star, Wallace Reid died a sufferer from the cruel and unrestless hankering of drugs is the star in this picture. In fact, it was the untimely death of her young husband, manick clown Joseph depe, that brought this wonderful and moral drama into existence. This picture should be witnessed by every mother, son, daughter, father and brother. Daily people are flirting with the cruelties of a death from depe, unconsciously. In "Human Wreckage" the story in its stark realities and uncompromising audacity is told. On Thursday the Attacks will stage a special feature for the ladies, and men too must see it. Friday and Saturday, "Bishop of the Ozarks." from early Africa's barbarian tunes to modern jazz, put into a libertor by Able Mitchell, operatic soprano, who will be featured in the production. Will Marion Cook and James P. Johnson, who wrote the melodies for "Running Wild," have composed the music, much of which is based on the folklore of the slave and reconstruction days. Fidelity to type is to be the keynote of the music, Mr. Cook is advertising to send anywhere in America for exceptional race talent, and is very desirous of having it known that he regards with equal favor the octetool, the absolutely black beaches of the Race and the many varied shades between. He proposes to present a pageant of vocal perfection as well as for face and form will disclose the variegated colorful charm of the American Negro. Marion Cook and Louis Douglass are enroute from London to participate in the production. Norman Announces Big Program The Norman Film Company, the only colored concern in the colored field that owns its own studio and laboratory, announces a program of films that confirms the prediction of the Billboard-that it was going into the production of colored films on a more extensive scale than has ever been undertaken before. The announcement includes a serial "The Fighting Fool", and twenty feature films. The titles cataloged include stories that are thrillers, detective such, domestics films, sea adventures, prison pictures, comedies and nature stories. "Regeneration", the present leader on the Norman list, has been most popular upon by Thomas Ireland and other film critics. Reports from houses that have played it includes very satisfactory box-office figures.

Watson has just sent a communication to the Editor of The Chicago Whip, regarding the publication of an item incorrectly stating that the Howard University basketball team was swamped by the Loendi Club of Pittsburgh in a game played on January 2nd. Mr. Watson points out that the team which played against the Loendi team in no sense represented Howard University. As a matter of fact there were a number of students of Lincoln on the team as well as a number of Howard students. The letter sent to the Editor of The Chicago Whip follows: Editor, The Chicago Whip, Will you do the Howard University the kindness to correct an article headed PITTSBURGH, JAN 2nd, in a recent issue of your paper, which carried in great bold headlines "MIGHTY LEONDIS GUP HOWARD RAH! RAHIS" 78-46." The article begins by stating "Cumberland - Posey's world's championship cage machine, met Howard University last night and with it goes a sad story." etc. The team that played this game one of the greatest games of batscertain Howard University students, were not, in any game representing the University nor were they members of our varsity team. You can readily see how this brings the University into disrepute. Thanking you for your correction, I beg to remain. ours for amateur sport, Louis J. Watson Tuskegee Girls Defeat State Normal Montgomery, Ala., Feb. — (A. N. P..) Overcoming a two-point handicap of the first-half in a snapping, well-fought contest with the "Girls Six" basketball team of the Montgomery Stake, Normal School, at 2:30 this afternoon. The Tuskegee Institute Girls basketball team, dubbed the "Rambles" brought the Montgomery team down to defeat in true Tuskegee spirit by a final score of 17-11. The first half of the game ended with a count of 8-6 in favor of the home team. The swift passing of the Montgomery sextet, starring E. Sharp, took the "Ramblers" bunch by storm. Rallying in the second half, the "Ramblers" true to their name, ranging all over the court, shooting with deadly effect and clinging and cluding their prey, raised the score to 17-11 to their advantage before the final whistle. Tuskegee's teamplay was exhibited to telling advantage and the accuracy of the shooting of O. Clark was spectacular. E. Sharp and J. Gardner shared the honors for the Montgomery team which went down fighting in Spartan fashion. The whirlwind passing and playing of each team made the frequent fouling unavoidable and in no way cast any doubt upon them. The return game is scheduled to be played at Tuskegee on Wednesday, February 20. RIGHT!!! OH GODS OF WORLD LISTEN NOW MR. SAMBO THIS B HAPPINESS-AND THIS O LOVE FOR YOUR WIFE-VER ONE SHOW THAT YOU HAVE TOWER AND KULE y from [ ] SAYS PETE JACKSON WASGREATEST BOXER SAYS PETE JACKSON WASGREATEST BOXER Chicago, Ill., Feb.—(A. N. P.)—New light is thrown on the age-old question: "Who was the greatest boxer who ever lived?" In an interview with Dan Hickey, at one time middleweight champion of Australia, and one of the few men to ever take the measure of Bob Fitzsimmons. Says Hickey: "Who was the greatest boxer you ever saw?" I asked Hickey. ever saw. I lassoed twice. "The greatest boxer big or little that I ever saw was Jackson. He Paderskowski of boxing. He never made a false move, never guessed at anything. When he started something, he vent through with it as the great pianist would go through a symphony. When he sat down to talk boxing with a man he made things so clear that even the novice would understand it. I should have to talk with Peter. "I should know of his skill and style, for I boxed with him for five years before I started out as a professional. I began when about 16 years of age. The great black was a wizard and in the ring, fought like one. In the training camp, however, he was one of the easiest men in the world to work with. He would place his gloves lightly when demonstrating a lead. He was a gentleman at heart, this wonderful Negro. "When he came back to Australia to die, he was received by an army of admirers. When he died, the sportsmen of Australia had carved on his tomstone, the simple but cloaked epiphath. Here lies a man." "Jackson's sterling courage was never so clear shown as in his eight clear Corbett. Nine days before the match, Jackson was driving along the road in a sulky and a paper bleup in front of his horse. The beat bolted, swerved sharply, and Jackson was thrown out of the rig. His leg was mashed and he was unable to move at speed in the ring. But he would not consent to a post-ponement. He went sixty-one rounds with Corbett, and I tell you there was not a good bolt struck in the fight. He was called in for forts to rematch the men failed. Jackson was willing to fight. "Fitzsimmons a always admitted the skill and speed of Jackson. Fitz once said that, Jackson could "knock his block-off" in the ring and Fitz never knew the meaning of the word fear. "Jee Gans, the famous Baltimore Negro, learned many of his tricks from Jackson. After Jackson came Corbett in Jeffries, a great big fellow, but could do nothing with Tom Sharky and Sharky was a little fellow. Fitzsimmons used to lick Sharky in no time. Jeffries was so big and so strong that he could take punishment that the others couldn't stand. He had the power, but skill was something else again." Jackson Ward Knocks-Out Lawson Youngston, O.—(P. N. S.) Three knockouts featured the Booker T. Washington fight here last Wednesday night. The card, one of the most attractive ever presented, Bob Lasson of this city, who was knocked out in the second round of a scheduled, 12-round encounter with Jack Ward of New York, a protege of Jack Johnson's in the featured bout. This bout offered one of the most spectacular knockouts in the history of Youngstown's boxing circles. The blow which felled Lawson wasn't a yicious punch, it wasn't even a determined punch. It was artistic. It carried no more accumulated poundage behind it than it would naturally carry from OH GODS OF THE MUT WORLD LISTEN TO ME- NOW MR. SAMBO THIS BUMP INDICATES HAPPINESS-AND THIS ONE SHOWS A GREAT LOVE FOR YOUR WIFE-WHILE THIS LARGER ONE SHOW THAT YOU HAVE A MASTERFUL TOWER AND KULE OVER ALL- NO-NO NO-NO !!!! a Herculean shoulder—but it landed on the point of the chin and sent Lawson to the canvas glassy-eyed and prostrate. The show opened with a scheduled six rounder between young Simmons and Johny Jones. Simmons is a Pittsburgh, and a determine to the court to the accompaniment of a towel fluttering into the ring. In the second preliminary, Billy Armstead of Pittsburgh, proved far too clever for the Gypsy Kid of Youngstown, in a six-round match, Armstead knew too much for the youngster, with the result that many of the Kidd's punches went wild of their mark. The bout was a pretty exibition, showing mastery of the scientific game to the fans. Yates Proves Gameness The semi-final, however, was a sizzier. In this bout Harry (Battley) Yates, of Pittsburgh, and the Frisco Kid were the principals. Yates was forced to stop by Reece after one of the greatest exhibitions of gameness ever staged here. Up until a minute of the close of the fourth round, Yates was leading by the proverbial milestone. He had the Frisco Kid coming up jane and a intensive work was a thing of beauty. Then, one of Frisco's wild swings caught Yates flush on the chin. He went down, but endeavered to rise again before his head was clear. His opponent, sensing his advantage, and fighting with inherent cunning, timed his blows perfectly and dropped Yates again. Yates again stumbled to his feet and withering instinct instead wandered a chinch. The round had less than twenty seconds to go, when the referee stopped the match. Spectators severely criticized Callan's judgment. It was evident, however, that Yates was coming around, and with a minute's rest would have won handily. The bout was noted by huge success, and the barred from seconding his man, sat out in the large crowd of spectators, with his famous golden smile much in evidence.

Jr. Hampton, Van., Feb. 16—A bunch of rangy, tall, and confident basketters journeyed from Morehouse College with the confidence born of many recoverties, met a shock recovered, and after one of the gannest fights witted at Hampton; finally won the game in the last few minutes of play by the score of 34-27.

Morehouse scored with a free throw which was followed immediately by perfectly arched shot by McNichols. The lightning-like passes, the thrills, the desperate fighting spirit of both teams, the evident teamwork, and the enthusiasm of the spectators bespoke from the beginning a game soldom equalled at Hampton. Morehouse Defeats Johnson C. Smith University 53-22 but there was nothing to that either, Sykes, Taylor, Gayle, and Clark scored field goals in the order named and immediately ran the score to 18-17, and then forged into the lead—19-18 in Morehouse's trow.

After a slow start the Tiger machic got going and the University Again there was a thrilling exhibition of tries and blocks until Hargrove rank a shot from midfloor. Clark of Househouse followed this with a fast one. The score was then 7-3 in Hampton's favor, Jones, McNichols, and Hargrove scored shots from all angles and ran the score to 15-2. Then she shot one to Hargrove, Hargrove another from midfield, and, as the half-way point was reached, Sykes dropped one in, making the score 18-9 in favor of the "sissors." FINE FIGHTING SPIRIT FINE FIGHTING SPIRIT During the hardestacht, Jack Hawkey must have found the depth at an angle or something of the sort. Consequently as the second half began it was easily seen that Morehouse had blood in his eyes, and was determined to fight to the final whistle. With the "Seasiders" in possession of such a lead, it would have been somewhat natural for the Southerners to become nervous and discouraged, but there was nothing like it. The splendid fighting-spirit of such a team better ever bleed than in this game, with both teams at times in the lead and apparently no chance of overcoming that lead, the other team would rally and with a wonderful display of fighting-spirit, come from behind to forge into the lead. With such unconquerable spirit did Morehouse begin the second half that things began to lock gloomly.

The Tigers were greatly handicapped by the box-like "gym" in which the game was played, it being impossible to loop the hall into the basket because of the low ceiling.

However, the Lincoln University went down under the fast tactics of the Indies. Dr. Simonds, one of the Lincoln Alumnus put up a silver cup, and the same was presented to the winners by Dr. Geo.

Sykes, Taylor, Gayle, and Clark scored field goals in the order named and immediately ran the score to 18-17, and then forged a 19-18 lead with the favor. Here it was that excitement ran wild and the shouts of the spectators fairly shook 'the Hampton Institute Gymnasium Harvore came through with one of his uncanny shots and thereby put Hampton in the lead—score to 19-18 and then to 20-20; Gunn dropped in a free-throw and the score became 21-20 for Hampton; Hargrove snuck a shot and the score ran to 22-20. Thus Hampton fought her way into the lead. Morehouse was way into the lead. Morehouse, however, was not to be denied. Taylor dropped in a free throw and play the score changed from 23-22 to 25-23 in favor of Morehouse. Then came scores of 25-23,28-22 and 30-21, by way of shots by Sykes and Taylor, and a free throw by Gunn. Tacky the team made the 32-21 Hampton was ralying, but the time was short. Gunn sank a free throw and this was followed by one of the pretest shots of the game—a shot by McNichols that one he neither backboard nor tucked. This was Hampton's last shot and was followed by a field goal by Taylor of Morehouse as the game ended with the final score of 54 to 27 in Morehouse's favor. Thus Hampton lost one of the most spectacular games of her career. STAR PLAYING On both sides every player was a star, and therefore so many stars of nearly equal brilliance that it is almost impossible to pick any set of stars. Every man played the game as if the issue of the world and eternity depended upon the outcome, but brightest of all stars were the two centers. Harvore of Hampton and Taylor of Morehouse. Both played a fine game, Harvore scored 12 points and Taylor 13. Every player was like a sun in a firmament of stars. Guin played a dazzling game at guard and as usual displayed his unusual dribbling ability. In Jones he made the forwards, whose all-round game was great. Captain Langton was the usual streak and broke up several rallies of Morehouse, Simmons and Lambright were the two substitutions made by Hampton, and both played a hard-fought and consistent game during the time they played. In Gayle, Clark, Taylor, Bailey, Sykes, and Morhouse's two substitutions, Archer and Allen, Coach Harvey had a team of which he should be justly proud. Their victory over such a team as Hampton suffices to say how they played. THE LINEUP Morehouse—34 Hampton—27 Gayle F. McNichols Clark F. Jones Taylor G. Hargrove Bailey G. Gunn Sykes G.

The opening of the new half million dollar high, vocational, and elementary school will mark a new era in the advancement of education of the colored youths of Norfolk, the entire south for that matter. The school is rapidly nearing completion and when it is completed it will not be completed, even when the contractors turn over the building to the school board. Just one wee little thing has been left out. It sounds wee when it is said quickly, but it looms up gigantically when given due consideration. In spite of the fact that this new school is reputed to be the largest and best of its kind in the south, modern in every phase of modernness and equipped second to none, but the chain has a missing link, the gymnasium. Out of the five hundred thousand dollars spent giving Norfolk an upodate school, not a space as large as a match box was allotted to erect a gym. The sad neglection of this important element of education has no reasonable excuse. Probably some one forgot the fact that an education means that training and development of both the mental and physical part is being conducted out or entirely forgotten altogether. Of course they did not mean to deprive the colored people of the privilege of giving their children physical education. It was a slight mistake that's all, but it seems funny that the supposed thinking people did not think of the colored people. Of course physical education is a thing of little significance to them, but this is a sad misconception on the part of some. It should be one of the first things that is considered, for the best trained mind has its set backs when the body fails to respond. The coordination on of the mind and body is brought about by the need of both. Of the high school has athletes such as football and basket, but the trouble is it does not have enough and it will never have enough until the means are provided. In all that spaciousness of the buildings a gym was not jammed in some where, well it was not that much, but the living presents the school from behind it is reputed to be and that is an up-to-date modernly equipped high school. SMILEY SMITH Smiley Smith is Norfolk's own and he is raising havoc in New York in the squared circle. Smiley Smith is none other than George Norfolk was represented in the basket ball game staged at the former Phyllis Wheatley Garden on Thursday night. This was the first game staged in Norfolk in approximately seven years, by locals. The local high school is in line to give Norfolk a good bit of athletics but seem less familiar that for the last few years, has affected the high school also, nevertheless from the ways things look now prospects are very bright. Owen A. Wilson high school's versatile foot ball coach has been working exceedingly hard to get his floor quintet in shape. In view of the fact that this is the high school's first attempt to turn out a boys basketball squad, the first game was rather late. He was able to get due credit for giving fans something anyhow. Coach Wilson has double duties. He has charge of training both the girls and boys teams. The game staged last Thursday will no be the only game locals will have the chance to witness. Booker Washington journeys to Newport News next week to squabble with Huntington high school, this with the high school. His hockey and Union Street will be given return games and both of them will be probably pulled off in Norfolk. The return game with one of the schools will be staged in Norfolk it is assured. Two of Washington's foot ball stars were in the line up against Union Street night. Anderson Coble and Boyd. Boyd, the past season. Coble is ranked with the good ones of the basketkeepers. Winslow Morris, the stady captain is considered the stellar performer of the courts. Others members of the squad are Wortham, Smith, Thomas and Minson. The opposite sex squad is made up of Don Tewes, Mattie Morris, Marian Coble, Gladys Shadrack, (capt.) Marie Helen, Helen Langley, Evelyn Wilson and Agnes Jones. The management of the former Phyllis Wheatley Garden has an opportunity of making the building Norfolk's Madison Square Garden. The building has all the advantages necessary. It has an openness and it is in the central location. It has room for basket ball indoor tennis, indoor base ball, volley ball and a number of other indoor sports. Boxing and wrestling do not have to be considered. Theangers was won by the West N. Y. girls, final score 16-23. The referee was partial and failed to call a number of fouls on the West N. Yorkers, however the West N. Yorkers have a good average this season, and much is expected of them. The New Spring Shades in HOSIERY are here, Peach, Blush, Dawn and various other colors.

All is needed now is a Tex Rickard for this city, then Norfolk will have its Tex Rickard and its Madison Square Garden. Seemingly the outlook for baseball in this city is very dim. The training season is fast approaching and if we are to have the national pastime, it is high time to be starting. There are quite a few local clubs around town, but they seem to be reluctant to come out of their shells. Local sport lovers are assured some form of summer sport the coming season. Of course the majority of the fans may not know the game, but by going out and giving the boys the prize one more chance, they easily pick up the techniques of the sport. This sport will be none other that another of the national pastimes, the grand old game of "Tennis" there are not very many tennis enthusiasts, but once the game is learned it will be considered the best game going. Some of the leading players thought, before they acquired a knowledge of the game, that it was a ladies game. In other words they thought it was a sissy's game, but haven't they changed since then. Tennis is a real he man's sport, and it is strated when members of the Tidewater Tennis Club get into action this summer out on the old hill—Goff St. The club has put out bids and is expecting something tangible soon. As soon as all bids are in, work will begin on the courts. Fans may rest assured that real tennis will be displayed on those courts, and true that those boys are amateurs. The amateurs are the best amateurs that ever amatured. In the meantime, some of the old timers will be seen in action, such as: Stumpy Robinson, Hilton Faulk, George Ward and possibly Dr. McGriffin of tournament fame.

The reason seems to rest with the liberal policy adopted by Ben Holmes, new manager, who has donated the house on Sundays with all needed service to different philanthropic and civic organizations of the city. On Sundays, the residents are divided with one or the other of the different organizations of the sort whose auspices are availed of for the day. The house opened with bookings from the Dudley Office of the T. O. B. A. Jaunary 14. On February 1 Mr. Holmes was notified by President Surr that the association could no longer provide the acts. As a consequence he has gone into the open market and is booking independently and in all probability similarly situated, and in position to offer several weeks of continuous time to acts that will very likely be brought.

IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of my grandfather, Walter Watkins who died at his home in Suffolk, Va. February 18. Granddaughter, Mrs. Sarah Woodard 825 Washington avenue, Norfolk, Va. In sad and loving memory of my dear mother, Alice Coker, whom God called to rest two years ago, February 24, 1922. February days again are here. To me the sadest of the year. For it was on the 24th day, God called my darling Mother away. Two years have passed my heart is sad. As time goes on I miss you more. Your gentle smile, your loving face. No one can fill your vacant place. No one knows of silent heartache. Only those who have lost can tell. Of the grief that's borne in silence. Of the one I loved so well. Days of darkness still come over me. Teams of sorrow silently flow. But fond memory keeps you near me. Though heaven claimed you two years nice. Gone but not forgotten. Her loving daughter.

But as long as it adheres to its policy of discrimination even against the men who have by the supreme test help to perpetuate the flag a cry for Old Glory coming from the legion moves us to think in terms of hypocrisy.

Name Address While taking lunch in a restaurant last week I heard a conversation between a group of men that astonished me, and since I don't make the news, but simply pick it up in passing I am going to give it to you, even if it creates a storm over my head. Among many other things a young man said: "When I was a child a school teacher was considered one of the most respectable and exemplary people in a community. If perchance a young man was able to keep company with a young woman school teacher he was considered a man of a spotless reputation and possessed of the highest ideals. But it is not so now. Why you can see our young teachers in company with young men of known questionable reputations, and they seem to think nothing of it. Why some of them keep such late hours I'd hate to have to send my children to them, if I had any. The young man whom he was addressing replied, "that's nothing some of them either keep company with young men who attend the schools where they teach, or their associates. Why its nothing now-a-days to hear any old dude say I have a date with one of the teachers tonight, and gloates over his ability to cut a figure in the society of female school teachers." I don't believe that this is generally the case with our Notfolk teachers, even if some of them are quite young, but I Just why the Virginia General Assembly turned down the Indeterminate Sentence Bill does not seem clear. This was one of the most progressive pieces of penal legislation proposed in this state for many years. Laws similar to what was proposed in this bill are in effect in several states and none of these have indicated that it is not a good measure. Indeterminante sentence laws judges of courts of jurisdiction equal to the Corporation or Hustings Courts, to sentence felons for indeterminate periods the length of time the convict will have to serve depending entirely upon his conduct. A felon sentenced from one to five years in the penitentiary may serve one, two, three, four or five pears. The law is an encouragement to good behavior. Once a prisoner sets himself to shorten his sentence by good deportment he is likely to cultivate a habit of obedience that will serve him beneficially when he rejoins society. It is a law that helps to make a prison sentence a corrective measures instead of punishment, which should be the aim of society in dealing with offenders. The American Legion has launched a movement to teach love and respect for the American flag in all public schools. It is to be admitted lately there has been observed a growing irreverence to our flag When it is unfurled to the breeze it does not seem to produce the thrill among the younger generation as used to be manifested by our fathers. But is superfluous to teach love and respect for the flag without teaching with emphasis the principles the flag is meant to always and forever symbolize. These principles are encounted in the Declaration of Independence, and are summed up as follows: drop this hint in order if there are any who have not been quite so careful in the choice of young men companions they may know what the boys think of them. This is to the bootleggers, hootch venders imbibers and buyers. Virginia is about to enact a prohibition law with teeth in it. Among other severe penalties incorporated in it for those caught violating the prohibition law is one that makes such a violation a felony. Long jail sentences and heavy fines are provided in the new bill, soon to become a law. Now you can't take this hint and put up a "gone out of business sign" or continue to flirt with the law, but if you get caught and tried under this new law, just fix up your affairs so you can take a long rest. The jitney fight between the Virginia Railway and Power Company and the city government has heretofore interested our group only incidentally, because the main objective of the power company, we thought, was to eliminate competition on the routes traversing the thickly settled white sections of the city. Now it comes out that the company is requesting the elimination of routes five and six. I believe route six is the route of the busses for colored people. City Manager Causev is reported as saying that the city must do whatever is best for Mr. Daniels hails from a state which has instituted a liberal and commendable program for the benefit of its race Norfolk Journal and Guide the community as a whole and not what is best for certain sections. Look out! The colored jitneys are indispensable to the majority of our group in this city. I suppose more petitions are in order, but would suggest that we register and vote in the next primaries when members of the city government will be up for reelection.

Since the place is not yet open, I am not able to pass judgement on it, but the fact that these young men are well enough abreast of the times to advertise in the newspapers makes me believe that they know how to conduct a high class barber shop.

John Ford, familiarly known as "Big John", and for many years janitor at the local courthouse, was found guilty of second degree murder Saturday by a jury which heard the case against him for the killing of Lester Walsh, said to be a friend of Ford's. Walsh was hot to death December 21, last. Ford admitted killing Walsh, but pleaded self-defense, declaring that Walsh had attacked him with a knife. His punishment was fixed at 8 years in the penitentiary. NEGRO I. O. O. F. PLANS A $260,000 HOUSTON HOME Houston, Tex.—(L. N. S.)—A five-story reinforced concrete building, with a roof garden and basement, is being planned for immediate erection. The building will cost approximately $260,000 and will be constructed on a lot worth $85,000. This imposing structure is to be built by the Negro Old Fellows of Texas, who have recently bought the 100x100 lot for cash, at $85,000, and who have more than $600,000 in cash in a San Antonio bank for the construction of the building.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1924 Congressman Urges President To Free 24th Prisoners BOARDTOPROBE MARTYRS' CASE IS APPOINTED War Department Officials Will Visit Penitentiaries and Disciplinary Barracks To Investigate Cases Of Federal Prisoners. New York, N. Y.—John W. Weeks, U. S. Secretary of War, has written to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, acknowledging receipt of the Houston Martyr petition, and announcing that he has appointed a board of officers to inquire into the cases of the men of the 24th still imprisoned for their alleged share in the Houston Riot of 1917. Secretary Weeks' letter, which is addressed to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., is as follows: "Dear Sir: "The petition presented by you to the President in behalf of the so-called Houston Rioters has been referred to the War Department for consideration. "A few days ago I appointed a board of officers consisting of one officer of the Adjutant General's Department and one officer of The Judge Advocate General's Department to visit the United States penitentiaries at Atlanta, Georgia, and Leavenworth, Kansas, and Fort Jay, New York for the purpose of considering the cases of all military prisoners confined in the penitentiaries, and of all prisoners now in confinement in the disciplinary barricks mentioned above serving sentences of confinement of five years or more. "The Board of officers mentioned above is made up of the two officers of the War Department who handle matters of prisoners and special attention will be given by the board to those cases in which sentences appear to be in excess of those adjudged by civil courts for like offense. When this board shall have concluded its work, a similar board will be appointed for a like investigation at the United States Penitentiary, McNeil Island, Washington, and the United States Disciplinary Barracks, Alcatraz, California. "The investigation by the above board will include the sentences of the prisoners in whose behalf your petition is submitted." VIEWS AND REVIEWS By THOMAS L. DABNEY Virginia Union University Things Political We speak of politics because it is a vital matter and should concern every member of the Negro race. For as a group we are still suffering from the psychological reaction which set in relative to politics following reconstruction days. The Negro loses a wealth of culture by not having an upper class participating in the higher branches of the American government. One has much to regret when one considers the fact that there is not a single Negro governor or in the United States, not one Negro in the President's Cabinet, nor one Negro judge on the bench of the Supreme Court. Besides, there is no Negro in either House of Congress. This is a situation that Negroes can do much to change. If more of our journals would encourage their readers to vote and to take active part in civic matters, there would be a change. It is imperative that we begin to take this matter more seriously. Legal and social justice to a great extent depends upon the Negro acquiring and using political power for his own interest. A race with no interest in the activities of the government under which it lives, can expect but little from it. To him that has shall be given, but to him that has not shall be taken away what little he has. This is just as true in politics as in any other field of life. It does not follow that if Negroes were elected to our, state legislatures and to the Congress, that the millionium would be ushered in for the race. Some Negroes would disregard the interest of the Negro masses just as many white legislators disregard the interest of the white masses. But it would lay the basis for the next step in politics so for as the two races are concerned. In many matters, both blacks and whites must be taught by experience before they will be in a position to co-operate with each other for the common benefit. And after all, some Negroes elected to responsible positions in the state would be a credit to the race and nation. Let us have more Negro newspapers boosting this idea. RACE AMALGATION AND LAW A bill has been introduced in the Senate of the Legislature of Virginia designed to preserve the integrity of the white race. In an article printed in the Richmond Times Dispatch, Saturday, February 9, announcing that Mr. John Powell, the well known musician would speak on the danger of racial amalgamation, he is quoted as follows: "The introduction of this bill to preserve the integrity of the white race marks an epoch in the history of the Negro problem. As in the past, Virginia again has taken the lead in a movement of momentous historical possibilities. For the first time since the disappearance of the African Colonization Society in the middle of the last century, a movement has been inaugurated which faces frankly and courageously without regard to considerations of political opportun- (Continued on Page 3) WAGE CONTEST ON WASHINGTON SEGREGATION Cases of Mrs. Helen Curtis And Dr. Emmett J. Scott Argued Before Court of Appeals; Decision Of Nation-Wide Import. Washington, D. C.—An effort to enforce segregation against colored people of Washington, D. C., through agreements among white property-holders not to sell to any person of Negro race or blood, is being contested in the courts of Washington by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. James A. Cobb Chairman of the Legal Committee of the Washington Branch, N. A. A. C. P.; William H. Lewis, former assistant U. S. Attorney General; and James P. Sehick are conducting the cases. Associated with them as advisory counsel are Arthur B. Spingarn, Vice-president of the N. A. A. C. P.; Herbert K Stockton, of the Association's Legal Committee; and Emory B. Smith. The National Office has contributed $200 toward the legal expenses of the cases. Two cases are involved. One is that of Mrs. Helen Curtis who, because of her color was enjoined from taking title to property which she had purchased from a white property owner, on the ground that the sale violated the white property owners' agreement. Decision having been rendered against Mrs. Curtis, Mr. Cobb has appealed the decision to the Court of Appeal. The segregation agreement is held to violate Constitutional amendments which guarantee equal protection of the law and to be against public policy. The brief recites: Among the injuries to the public welfare that would result from upholding a covenant as in the case at bar and the property segregation which it seeks to enforce may be enumerated as follows: 1. The degradation of American citizenship. 2. The ridicule of American democracy. 3. It would encourage contempt for law, especially for the amendments to the National Constitution. 4. It would retard the progress of a large group of American citizens. 5. It would deprive the public treasury of increased taxes. 6. It would stimulate racial antipathy. The second case is based upon the same property-owners' agreement and is a suit against Emmett J. Scott, and others, differing from the first case in that Mr. Scott had moved into his property. No decision has yet been made on this second case. In commenting upon both cases, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. said: "These cases are vitally important and when they go to the United States Supreme Court—if they do—they should be made as much of a national issue as the Louisville Segregation Case. Indeed, in some respect the present cases are more important than the Louisville Case, because if they are lost any individual property owner will be free to write a segregation ordinance of his own into a transfer of his property. The Louisville Segregation Case made illegal for all time residential segregation by city ordinance. This new form of segregation is an attempt to evade the Supreme Court's decision, through the inclusion of clauses in deeds to property prohibiting sale by the purchaser to a Negro."

New York, N. Y.—Hamilton Fish Representative in Congress from the State of New York, and former Major in the 15th Infantry, read a letter, during his address before the Anti-Lynching Mass Meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which he had written to President Coolidge in behalf of the imprisoned colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry. The letter is as follows: February 9, 1924 Mr. dear Mr. President: "I am taking the liberty of writing to ask clemency for the fifty-four soldiers now confined in prison for participating in the Houston, Texas race riot in the fall of 1917. I served with colored troops at Spartanburg, and knew something difficult of their situation in the South, the insults heaped upon them and the provocation they endured. From personal experience, I know that the fault is not all on their side. I make no appeal nor hold any brief for the colored non-commissioned officers and leaders in the riot, nineteen of whom have been executed, but have not the others who participated in the riot without premeditation been sufficiently punished. I would be dejected to the memory of the colored soldiers who served in my outfit who paid the supreme sacrifice on the Field of Battle. I did not raise my voice to secure justice, and clemency for those members of their race who also wore the American uniform. "In view of the recent amnesty to political prisoners who obstructed the draft, poisoned the minds of our people; made law breakers and draft dodgers out of thousands, and some of whom incited or actually participated in the blowing up of bridges, factories, etc., which some times resulted in the loss of lives, and generally impeded the conduct of our military operations, might not these colored soldiers also be granted clemency whose only offense was to take part in a race riot where evidence has been produced to show that a large part of the responsibility should be borne by the white civilians." "I am writing to ask you on the Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials Journal of Negro History The Association For the Study of Negro Life and History DR. CARTER G. WOODSON, Director NEGRO ARISTOCRACY A CENTURY AGO of his faithless wife for that mount. 4,500NEGRO OWNERS OF SLAVES IN 1830 Taking up the study of the Free Negro in the United States, the Research Department of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, directed by Dr. C. G. Wochson, decided to make this statistical report as to the heads of families, their ownership of slaves and social relations with the whites. The aim was to facilitate the further study of this neglected group. Most of these people have been forgotten, for persons supposedly well informed in history are surprised to learn today that about a half million, almost one-seventh of the Negroes of this country, were free prior to emancipation in 1865. They can hardly believe that 4,500 of these were owners of slaves themselves in 1830, and in many cases controlled large plantations. The centus records show that the majority of the Negro owners of slaves were such from the point of view of philanthropy. In many instances the husband purchased the wife or vice versa. The slaves belonging to such families were few compared with the large numbers found among the whites on the well developed plantations. Slaves of Negroes were in some cases the children of a free father who had purchased his wife. If he did not thereafter emancipate the mother, as so many such husbands failed to do, his own children were born slaves and were thus reported by the enumerators. Some of these husbands were not anxious to liberate their wives immediately. They considered it advisable to put them on probation for a few years, and if they did not find them satisfactory, they would sell their wives as other slave holders disposed of Negroes. For example, a Negro shoemaker in Charleston, South Carolina, purchased his wife for $700; but, on finding her hard to please, he sold a few months thereafter for $750, gaining $50 by the transaction. Dr. C. G. Woodson personally knew a man in Cumberland County, Virginia, whose mother was purchased by his father who had first bought himself. Becoming enamored of a male slave, she gave him her husband's manumission papers that they might escape together to free soil. Upon detecting this plot, the officers of the law got the impression that her husband had turned over the papers to the slave and arrested the freedman for the supposed offense. He had such difficulty in extinguishing himself from this complication, that his attorney's fees amounted to $500. To pay them he disposed eve of Lincoln's birthday to grant clemency to these soldiers in the same kindly spirit and with the same sense of justice that Lincoln showed in pardoning young soldiers who had been sentenced to death or to imprisonment during the Civil War. Trusting you will accept this letter in the spirit in which it is written, and grant clemency to these colored soldiers still in confinement. "Respectfully yours."

Benevolent Negroes often purchased slaves to make their lot easier by granting them their freedom for a nominal sum or by permitting them to work it out on liberal terms. John Barry Meacum, a Negro Baptist minister in St. Louis, thus came into possession of as many as 20 slaves by 1863. The exploitation type of Negro slaveholder, moreover, sometimes feeling the sting of conscience, liberated his slaves. Thus did Samuel Gibson, a Negro of Mississippi, in 1844 when he brought his six slaves to Cincinnati, Ohio, and settled them on free territory. Practically all of these Negro slaveholders were in the South Slavery, however, at that time had not been exterminated altogether in the North, and even there the Negro was following in the footsteps of the white man, as this report will show. In the South where almost all of the Negro slaveholders were found, moreover, we find some of them competing with the large planters in the number of slaves they owned. Most of such Negro proprietors lived in Louisiana. South Carolina, Maryland and Virginia, as did the majority of all such slave owners. Excepting those of Louisiana, one may say that most of the Negro owners of slaves lived in urban communities. In those parts of the South where the influence of the kind planner near the coast was not felt, the Negro owner of slaves did not frequently appear. The free Negroes themselves, moreover, encountered such difficulties in the lower South and Southwest that they had to seek more hospitable communities in free states. Birthday Party Plumouth, N.

Mamie assumed all responsibility for the drugs found in her home, declaring the others were nothing about her having them. All of the other parties were heard on the gambling charge, denied that they were gamble when the officers made the decision. Daniel Brown was the first detective. He said that they were gambling, but asserted if the officers had waited five minutes longer, they would have caught all "red handed," because they were getting ready to open a gambling game. Marie Foster, who claimed she worked for Dr. U. S. Roberts, admitted she went to the police to play crap and was preparing to do so when the raid was trapped.

Jamps Skinner answered on a cramped of felonious assault, having stabbed Charles Butler five times. Butler was not willing to presecure Skinner, whom he declared he had been acquainted with for some years. He said the cutting resulted from carrying joking too far, a mistake which the two men had been accustomed to indulging in. Justice Spindle asked had Skinner given him any money since he (Butler) was released from the hospital. Butler told him Skinner had not given him anything, but had promised to do so. Skinner alleged that on account of his having been sick from child birth he had not been able to do anything for Butler. From the testimony adduced it appears that the two men were employed on the dock together and the joking started over women. The charge was changed from felonious to simple assault and Skinner was fined $10.00. $ $ $ Neal Foster and his wife, Mrs. Dwil Foster were arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct.

Two witnesses correlated this testimony, one of the men claiming the man who hung the coat there was his brother. The case was continued for further investigation. Mrs. Dollie Smith swore out warrant against Mrs. Mattie Williamson charging her with threatening to do her, Mrs. Smith, bodily injury, Mrs. Smith said she was afraid of Mrs. Williamson. It seems that some time ago, Mrs. Smith swore out a warrant for Mrs. Williamson for the same thing, but when the case was called in court she hid away the charge. winter. Mrs. Williamson testified at Monday's hearing that when she and Mrs. Smith left the court room together after the warrant was withdrawn, Mrs. Smith spat in her face. Mrs. Smith denied this asserting that Mrs. Williamson has threatened her so often she is afraid of her. It finally developed that the entire trouble centers around Mrs. Smith's husband, whom she declared is with Mrs. Williamson every time she looks for him. Mrs. Smith had her two children with her in court and said if Mrs. Williamson will just leave her alone she can have her husband and she will do the best she can to rear his two children. Mrs. Smith was placed under $100 peace bond. Georgia Man Killed By Ohio Policeman Georgia Man Killed By Ohio Policeman Waycross, Ga.,—(P. N. S.)

It is said that Bizill placed a revolver against the breast of the foe when he attempted to question him, (Bizill) in connection with a robbery a few moments before on Central avenue, and pulled the trigger twice. The cartridges failed to explode. Bizill then dodged behind an automobile. The officer shot houth the windshield, the bullet striking Bizill in the head, killing him instantly.

He notified the sheiff and the body was positively identified as that of Mrs. Eva Burke who had been missing for several weeks. Simon Burke, husband of the Woman, who had professed to being completely mystified by his wife's disappearance, advancing the theory that she had probably gone North with others from the section, fled upon the approach of the officers without waiting to see whether they intended to arrest him or not.

"No, but he always finds time, after working hours, to do some good work among his own people," replied our good-natured friend. "But, what is Jones' present work?" persisted the questioner. "Oh, he's for me in one of our machine shops. Fine chap. Don't know what I'd do without him. He's been with me over ten years, and he's better and better each year. When he applied to me for work I knew near turning him down. I have been the most foolish man ever did in my whole life. If I'd missed getting him, but I came near listening to some of the workers who took me not to hire a colored man." "Colored! gasped the inquisitor, "And do you mean to tell me he's a foreigner in a machine shop?" "He sure is—and some machinist, too," added the fat man, proudly. "In fact, he's an inventor, but he hasn't been able to cash in on that as yet. In his mind he does community welfare work among the colored labor of our town." Fine labor it is, too. I glad I was able to encourage them a bit on New Year's Eve. They've always been on the square with me," he added, as the heavy train stopped at a station.

Hall Having over looked the leaves of our calander for the year 1924 and listed the things we have resolved to do during this new year, let us consider two which are of such general interest to our group that they could ill-afford to be left from our list. First of all, let us as Negroes, resolve to give our whole heart support to education for Negroes more thoroughly during 1924 than we have done in previous years. From the early days of freedom, when the economic, social and educational conditions of our people were negligible, it was expected that members of other groups would finance and control institutions for our advancement. And well have they performed their task. Such organizations as the American Baptist Home Mission Society, Fredman's Aid Society, the American Missionary Society and others—to say nothing of the many private individual have, built for themselves a institution which shall last thru ages. But with the strides which we have made in the past 50 years in every phase of human activities, the wealth which we have acquired places upon us the definite responsibility of holding to support our schools, and thereby projecting our ideas and ideals into the AND SERVICE CO., (operated) Office Equipment IDEAL BENEFIT incorporated.

As a race, we know less about ourselves, our leaders and their problems, perhaps than other groups in a civilized community. It is recognized that we have fewer agencies given to publication of this encouragement which it richly deserves. Rather we criticise, denounce and declare them unfit for reading, when a greater support of these organs would place them in such financial conditions as to make them what their readers would have them be. Let us then, set before ourselves the task of securing information on every worth cause among our group and finding out who its leader is.

Towns and SUNDAY, FEBUARY 23, 1924 FOUNDERS DAY AT UNION UNIVERSITY Elaborate Program Rendered Consisting of Historya Sketches of the School. Richmond, Va.—Founder's Day was observed at Virginia Union University last Friday. An elaborate program was rendered consisting of a historical sketch of school, and speeches on the pioneers in the work. The progress of the University from Wayland Seminary located at Washington, D.C., in 1865, with a scarcely more than twelve students to the present Virginia Union University with nearly five hundred students was told by Prof. Miles Mark Fisher, of the Theological Department. Beginning at a time when not only financial difficulties were many, but when there was a strong public argument against college education for the Negro, the immortal founders of Union dedicated their lives to the work of education among Negroes, and today nine imposing granite buildings located on a gentle slope on the Lombardy street, stand as concrete monuments to the courage, fidelity and noble sacrifice of these conscientious workers. Dr. C. V. Roman, says: "The duty of youth is to prove the wisdom of old age." How has this worked in the case of Union graduates and the founders of the University? One or the best ways to judge the University is to work done at a college is to inquire about achievements of its graduates. In the field of human uplift, Union graduates are doing well.

Wilberforce, C. Feb. 8—(P. N. S.) Following an investigation as to causes of the fire that destroyed the B. F. Lge Dormitory at Wilberforce University, which housed more than 200 young men, last Thursday morning at 1:30 o'clock the police of Xenia have arrested one of the 10 years of Kentucky, one of the dismissed students, on suspicion and lodged him in the Green county jail. Under a "sweating" Coleman stoutly denied guilt of any connection with the fire. Detectives have the case in charge and promise some very startling disclosures regarding an organized band of Wilberforce students, who are misdemeanors in and around Wilberforce for the past two or more years. The building was formerly known as the old Griffith, homestead and was purchased by the authorities of the institution two years ago when Shorter Hall, the oldest building on the campus was destroyed by fire. It was a house of the service corps housed in the boys. It was lately remodeled at a cost of $25,000, and partially covered by insurance. About two weeks ago President John A. Gregg started a "clean-up" of all undesirable students, and at one time twenty boys were dismissed for various misdemeanings, and another crowd was given notice to pack up and leave the school premises. The school was closed, but a few refused to obey the edict of President Gregg and the Discipline Committee. The shelter of Green county and police officers of Xenia were called and ejected them from the premises. The school authorities are of the opinion the building was set on fire by the disgruntled former students and their sympathizers. The police of Xenia have a good description of the former students who have been involved in the trouble, and are keeping a look-out for those under suspicion. the week-end visiting Mrs. Mary Perry 2 Cox avenue. $^{9}$ The Hertf ford High School moving picture had a very excellent showing of Mary Pickford and Charlie Chap in last week. $^{10}$ Mrs. Pattie Jones has gone to the hospital to under go operation.

Racial Integrity Vital Issue "As a loading editorial of the Times Dispatch stated, on July 22 last: "Racial integrity is a matter so vital, so intricately bound up with our future as a nation, as to demand immediate steps toward its preservation. We of the white race have been disposed to shut our eyes to the danger of Negro Amalgamation. While the cloud hangs threateningly above us we have been content to await developments rather than flee for such shelter as might be found. In the South we have fought for supremacy, pressing for greater issue, forgetting the while the more insidious, less apparent problem of integrity. In securing the one we have been too apathetic in in preserving the other." As announced in the newspapers, Mr. Powell spokes before, the House of Delegates on Tuesday, February 12th. The writer has seldom heard a more dispassionate speech from a white man on such a delicate subject. He stated that America owed the Negro a debt which he did not pay, and that racial amalgamation is no way of showing our gratitude." Continuing he said: "In 6,000 years history does not furnish one instance where races living together have not amalgamated, and not one instance—where the white race has absorbed the Negro—which did not result in the complete dismersion of the race. Powell lamented the fact that the barriers between the two races are being broken down. He read an article from the New York Times for January 20th, in which the author emphasized the fact that if the South wished to retain a sufficient supply of Negro labor, the Negro would have to be given his white southerners. He read some of the suggestions which were brought before the Convention of the Volunteer Student Movement relative to the race problem, because these suggestions are calculated further to break down the barriers between the two races. Mr. Powell regards them as dangerous, because these students as white students attended the convention and are expected to put them into practice. Mr. Powell's speech elicited the sympathy and pity of the writer.

The recourse to law as a means of preserving the purity of the race espoused by the we have had lain, but purpose, all those years is an indication of but one thing; there is no inescapable gulf between races.

THE GRACE OF GOD "For the law was given by Moses, grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."—John 1:17. 1. Law and Grace Contrasted. Sin, works, self-righteousness, and death belong to the vocabulary of the law. Salvation, faith, righteousness of Christ, and life belong to the language of Grace. "Like some avenging goddess law comes down among men, terrible in her purity, awful in her clear grey eyes in the one hand tables of stone, bearing the Commandments which were broken, and in the other a sharp two-edged sword." Grace is love that bends down to an evil doer, and deals not on soothing of strict restitution with the infirmities and the sins of us poor weaklings. Grace loves, stoops, gives, pardons-Dr. Macaron. 2. The Author of Grace. "What is grace?" was asked of an old collared man, who for over forty years had been a slave—"Grace," he replied, "is what it should call giving something for nothing." Grace-God's favor is unmerited; it is graciously benefited upon us. God is great in goodness and good in greatness beautiful in his benedictions upon those who keep his precepts and walk in his statutes. chapter 25th verse, "Then Agrippa said unto Paul almost thou persuodest me to be a Christian."

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Activities At Bank Street Church TALKS ON THE US LIFE in the faith, Quit. Ye like men, light to darkness, so grace is opposed to sin.—Fire and water may as well agree in the same vessel, as Grace and sin in the same heart."—T. Brooks. Grace came by Jesus Christ. He is the enlightenment of God's glory, and the very image of His substance. The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. And we saw the Glory of God, the Father, Jesus Christ, fall of Grace and truth. In the creation God revealed His hand; in the Incarnation (the giving of His Son) He unmerited mercy from God to man. Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. The apostle John says—Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that, we should be called the children of God. 3. The Purposes of Grace. (1) To bring salvation. The Grace of God hath came bringing salvation unto all men—Titus 7:14; Rom. 3:21-26. (2) To impute freely the righteousness of Christ. By the merit of Christ's righteousness true believers become righteous in the sight of God.—Rom. 5: 20-21. (3) To give the believer power to overcome sin. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under the law, but under Grace.—Rom. 6: 14. (4) To bestow reconciliation and favor of God upon believers-read Rom. 5: 1, 2. (5) To impart spiritual instruction and edification—Ephes. 4: 29. "As Grace is first from God, so it is continually from Him, as much as light is all day long from the sun, as well as at first dawn, so at sunrise"—Jonathan Edi- SERMON ON LIFE'S MISUNDERSTANDING SERMON ON LIFE'S MISUNDERSTANDING Rev. Bowling Points Out How Misunderstanding Often Leads To Mistreatment. "The story of David's mistreated messengers illustrates some strong facts of daily life" was the declaration of Rev. R. H. Bowling last Sunday night in the closing sermon of his recent series on Old stories with new Morals. 1 Cuncles 19:1-5 was the scripture on which the sermon was based, recounting how David sent messengers to bear condolence with Hanun at the loss of his father and David's friend, and further, how the young king suspects the messengers to be spies and so mistreats them and sends them away. "But David," continued the pastor, "had the best of intentions and meant merely to return upon the son some long since rendered kindness from his father, probably when David was being pursued by Saul. But Hanun and his advisers misunderstand and misconstitute his kindest acts. Life's Misunderstanding "So with us in daily life. We are often misunderstood when doing our best. A woman is graciously thankful for some little attention and the man thinks he is being invited to dirt. A pastor preaches often with no particular person or case in mind, but some sensitive soul declares him to be 'hitting at something.' A public man, safeguarding his organization's or trust's best interest is by many regarded as a mere knocker. The Christian adviser warning a man of his pitfalls and weaknesses is regarded as nosing into another's personal affairs. The thinker who breaks the bands of traditional views of God and his world is thought of by many as purposely wrecking men's faith, when often he is most sincerely sensitive in matters spiritual." For Grown Men" Only Bowling nurch 3 P. M. Bill Sing --- Church Sunday [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. DR. T. E. BAIRD of Christian Temple, Park Place, who will speak Sunday at B. P. P. U., of the Bank Street Baptist Church, subject: "Our Daily Need of God." After pointing out that such misunderstandings often lead to mis-treatment, the speaker declared that the story illustrated also how misunderstanding and mistreatment can be neutralized. "David's loyal friendship must have atoned in large measure for these men's harmful treatment. A man can forget his trials at thought of the loyalty of his followers and friends. Paul was happy in the steady companionship of Luke and the dependability of Timothy. Another neutralising element is the healing hand of time. David advised his interrogers, until their shaved beards should grow out again, toarry in Jericho. Things changed about with the passing of the years. Storms don't subside in a moment. But give them time. People who assail us now will regard us differently ten years hence. And then, God knows even before time has had a chance to bring things around, and whether friends remain loyal or not. Rev. Bowling will preach a special sermon to women this Sunday night on the occasion of the "Know Nothing Club" anniversary.

Instruction, CAGO COMMISSION ON RACE RELATIONS By KELLY MILLER January Issue of American Journal of Sociology the hundred and eighty pages about one-fourth of the volume devoted to questions of the pop population, its migration into the South, its settlement into fully celled areas and surging penumbra, and the house problem growing out of its location. The movement of the pop population to the large cen- cland and its segregation in black constituent the most important relative relation to the pres- time. The same phenomenon being place in New York, Phil- ladelphia, Washington, Chicago, more Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, anapolis, Cleveland, and D- inedoe, the same process is gon- on in every large city of country, North and South. The race everywhere withdraws the pressure of the Negro's phy- chology. Residential separation of any two groups is inevitable, where regards the other, either regardless of the racially dissimilar. This may be o- bjected by the congregative tenden- ture in quest of like, or it may be accomplished by force of exter- compulsion. of these factors operate safely and conjointly. The Supreme court of the United States declared unconstitutional all fixing the bounds of the site by race or color. But segment goes on apace. The question which is still unresolved is whether laws of resiliency demarcation shall be fixedible. The Negro's contentious flexibility is not based upon insistence upon abstract technical legal construc-tion, because he knows that formation of boundaries would shunt him in the most undesirable fashion.

The speaker told of trials, disappointments, and maltreatment of friends, but must commend them to be faithful unto death, that they might receive a crown of life.

The home, where she had been a loving and indulgent mother; and in community where she had lived that she was respected and loved by all. The family of Mr. Norman Cassell, in whose employ those deceased had been for 50 years, attended the funeral and sat with the family. A very touching incident occurred when Rev. Armstead at the close of the eulogy asked if any member of that family wished to say a word. Mr. Cassell area and in a voice which clearly showed his emotion, said that they felt as if they had lost one of their family, for in the 50 years that they had been in the home, they had learned to respect her, to tell of how the family esteemed her but was overcome with his emotions and had to be seated. Mrs. Cutler is survived by two daughters, one son, nine grandchildren, two great grandchildren, a piece and a host of friends.

Embodied in the law of the state are numerous statutes reflecting unmistakably the influence of the Negro. There is no group of people in the state who, without the expenditure of a single dollar to attain that end, exert such an overshadowing pressure upon legislation as the colored people. But it is a negative influence. It is an involuntary and unconscious exertion of pressure over legislation. In fact, it is an exercise of influence by negation, which seldom fails to affect our group adversely. By the simple process of maintaining our presence in the state do we compel the lawmakers in their solemn consideration of every piece of proposed legislation to deliberate most cautiously, to circumvent, to hedge in here and there, to strike out this proviso and insert that proviso, keeping in mind all the time the negro with the view of making sure of turning out a finished product that will bear no hop hole which might be converted into an intended advantage for the colored man. And what is true in Virginia in this respect, is true in every Southern state. The point: At present the state treasury is face to face with a deficit of $1,800,000. The General Assembly in session at Richmond is endeavoring to uncover new sources of revenue and to squeeze out of old sources the revenue they would have yielded and have not on account of evasion, delinquency of payments and laxity in collections. According to a statement made by a high state official last summer, there is a vast sum saved to the state in unpaid poll taxes. Why so serious effort is ever made to collect this tax is open for explanation. There is before the law-makers of the state for consideration at this session the Downing bill, designed to make the payment of polls a prerequisite for obtaining license of any sort in Virginia. It is reported that the bill is meeting with strong opposition from several sections. The reasons for this opposition is obvious. The payment of the poll tax a prerequisite of voting, and any measure designed to make the payment of this tax arbitrary, in its working will automatically aid qualifying electors. And of course Negroes could be included, and all of them, the legislators believe to be inherently Republicans. Doubless the Downing bill if enacted into law would prove a prolific revenue producer; and it would not be a new tax measure, but simply a partial force measure behind one of the existing tax laws. But in spite of the large state deficit, and whatever merit there may be in the Downing bill, there is little likelihood of it or any similar bill ever becoming law of Virginia so long as it holds the probability of stimulating the Negro vote. Thus, the colored people are an important factor in the framing of legislation at Richmond whether they are conscious of it or not. Without maintaining a single lobbyist at the state capitol, without the possession of a subtle and ramified political influence, and with the exercise of not more than a passive cognizance of the activities of the state law-making machinery, colored people of Virginia, nevertheless, exert at all times no inconsiderable pressure upon the framing of legislation for this commonwealth. Embedded in the laws of the state are numerous statutes reflecting unmistakably the influence of the Negro. There is no group of people in the state who, without the expenditure of a single dollar to attain that end, exert such an overshadowing pressure upon legislation as the colored people.

We are gradually edging into Big Business. No mistake about that. It is one of the most effective ways out of our troubles of all sorts. A poor man, a poor race, a poor Nation,—they do not cut much ice anywhere. Emperor William Joseph Simmons of the Kp Klux Klan is to be congratulated upon striking a bargain with the order by which he receives $145,000 for all his rights in the order. He will also retain the palatial home at Atlanta which was given him by Klan admirers. At six per cent interest he should be able to keep the wolf from the door during the remainder of his natural life. It is said, however, that the restless old Wizard will become head of the Knights of the Flaming Cross, a new thing. That may mean war between the two factions. We shall watch to see. unmistakably is no group of the expenditure that end, execure upon leg. But it is involuntary a sure over leg ease of influence ever fails to the simple principle in the stance in their solemn proposed legal tiousy, to cite there, to strike that proviso, Negro with the ing out a final loop hole which unintended adhere. And what pect, is true in the point: At present face with a de Assembly in sizing to uncover squeeze out of should have yed of evasion, deity in collection. According But it is a negative influence.

By the simple process of maintaining our presence in the state do we compel the lawmakers in their solemn consideration of every piece of proposed legislation to deliberate most cautiously, to circumvent, to hedge in here and there, to strike out this proviso and insert that proviso, keeping in mind all the time the Negro with the view of making sure of turning out a finished product that will bear no loop hole which might be converted into an unintended advantage for the colored man. And what is true in Virginia in this respect, is true in every Southern state. The point: At present the state treasury is face to face with a deficit of $1,800,000. The General Assembly in session at Richmond is endeavoring to uncover new sources of revenue and to squeeze out of old sources the revenue they should have yielded and have not on account of evasion, delinquency of payments and laxity in collections. According to a statement made by a high state official last summer, there is a vast sum owed to the state in unpaid poll taxes. Why no serious effort is ever made to collect this tax is open for explanation. The Governors of all of the Southern States should be interested in the advanced views on race relations expressed by Governor Whitfield, of Mississippi, in taking over the affairs of the State in succession to Governor Lee Russell, who had a very stormy and discreditable story of offence. Governor Whitfield also tax is open for There is be for considerate bill, designed taxes a prere any sort in V. bill is meeting several section There is before the law-makers of the state for consideration at this session the Downing bill, designed to make the payment of poll taxes a prerequisite for obtaining license of any sort in Virginia. It is reported that the bill is meeting with strong opposition from several sections. The reasons for this opposition is obvious. The payment of the poll tax is a prerequisite of voting, and any measure designed to make the payment of this tax arbitrary, in its working will automatically aid in qualifying electors. And of course Negroes would be included, and all of them, the legislators believe to be inherently Republicans. Doubless the Downing bill if enacted into law would prove a prolific revenue producer, and it would not be a new tax measure, but simply a partial force measure behind one of the existing tax laws. But in spite of the huge state deficit, and whatever merit there may be in the Downing bill, there is little likelihood of it or any similar bill ever becoming a law of Virginia so long as it holds the probability of stimulating the Negro vote. Thus, the colored people are an important factor in the framing of legislation at Richmond whether they are conscious of it or not.

The continuous bickering between the power company, the city officials and the bussmen is beginning to irritate the public nerves. It is admitted, however, the problem is not one that lends itself to a ready solution. Arguments presented by either side, the jitneys and the trolley company, are equally convincing. But it is the duty of city officials to handle the question in line with public interests. The contention that street cars are the greatest developers of urban and suburban communities and the most powerful stimulators of property values is logical. The time has not arrived when this mode of urban transportation can be profitably dispensed with. The Virginia Railway and Power Company asks the city Council to eliminate parallel buss lines. It makes a direct demand that routes 5 and 6 be eliminated or rerouted. Route six is the 18th street line, a colored service. Argument advanced in support of favoring the street cars over the jitneys that applies with reason to other sections of the city does not hold with equal force when applied to the colored sections. And this is because these are the last localities in Southern cities to benefit by the extension of street car service and they are never more than inadequately served by the car lines. For instance, the colored population of Norfolk has been for a number of years gradually shifting toward the northeast. Northeast Brambleton, Barboursville, Lindenwood, Douglass and Bruce Parks and Washington Heights indicate this trend, and as most of the yet unimproved area available to colored people seems to lie in that direction no doubt the population will continue to move that way. The Church street car line does not center the colored district as it did 20 years ago. It now lies almost on the western fringe of Negro homes. All of that large area of colored people lying deeply cast of Church street is absolutely dependent upon jitney service. It is to be helped the City Manager will duly consider this fact in dealing with the present street car-jitney controversy.

Governor Whitfield Speaks Out For Larger Justice The Governors of all of the Southern States should be interested in the advanced views or race relations expressed by Governor Whitfield, of Mississippi, in taking over the affairs of the State in succession to Governor Lee Russell, who had a very stormy and discreditable term of office. Governor Whitfield does not think, and says so, that any plans for the betterment of the condition of the people on their industries, education, law enforcement, and the like, will get anywhere which does not include "the Negroes, who still make up slightly more than one-half of Mississippi's population." He says further: "If we would work out our own economic salvation, we must at the same time take their well-being into consideration. There is a definite relation between their happiness and prosperity and that of the State as a whole." Governor Whitfield has gone further in denouncing mob violence, in proclaiming his belief in law and legal process, and in calling upon "all the law enforcing officials in the Commonwealth to use every menas in their power to prevent lynching, and thus eliminate a potent cause of race friction and ill feeling," than any other Southern Governor, as far as we remember; and when he says that "wise leaders among the Negroes must be encouraged in their splendid efforts to aid their own people," he enthuses with hope and courage all of the strong men and women of the race in Mississippi to redouble their efforts to help themselves and thus increase their helpfulness in making the State happy and prosperous. Too many Southern statesmen and advanced thinkers go on the theory that there are no good and wise Negroes, and that there are no bad and foolish white people. Governor Whitfield has rendered the people of Mississippi a very fine service in sticking a pin in that inflated and mishevious theory. We of the South love the South. We want just laws and fair administration of just laws for all of the people to prevail everywhere, and this will be done in a large measure if the people of Mississippi will follow the advice of Governor Whitfield and if the Governors of other Southern States will advise their people as Governor Whitfield has advised his. --- President Coolidge Stands By His Guns President Coolidge made the longest address since he has been in office at the Lincoln Day Celebration by the National Republican Club, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, in New York. He spoke for more than an hour, and his address was broadcasted, so that there is no estimating how many people listened in on it. The President received a warm reception as he restated the policies outlined in his first message to Congress, in which tax reduction and no bonus were the high lights, and he still showed that he was not to be run off his stride by the naval oil scandals by stating that the scandals would be probed and the guilty parties prosecuted, and that he was not going to demand the resignation of members of his Cabinet until they are shown to be unworthy by legal process. He would not stand to have any person concerned lynched because the excited people of Congress, who are striving to make political capital for use in the November elections out of the upheaval, wanted them lynched, not even if it would promote his personal interest to do so. The people of the country have always appreciated a President with a calm and judicious mind and the courage to do what he considers to be lawful and good to be done for the public interests. They believe President Coolidge to be that sort of man. Editorial Page of --- Street Car-Jitney Controversy Norfolk Journal and Guide Births, Deaths and Life Expectancy The statistical division of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company released to the press last week a very encouraging and informative report, revealing that the life span of the American Negro has increased by five and one half years during the past decade. This decrease in the death rate of the colored people was brought about by Negroes themselves, Dr. DuPin, director of the division believes, thru the press and other facilities for teaching prevention measures, as well as thru other public health agencies. This report is gratifying, and the Metropolitan renders a distinct service in broadcasting it. There is no longer any question that the Negro race readily responds to improve hygienic conditions, and the argument that colored doctors and nurses with the co-operative public health bureaues are the most effective agents in the spread of health education among their people is clinched. But there is another phase of Negro health and death standards which was touched upon by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Director of the Department of Public Health, of Howard University, in his release of last week that is no encouraging, nor is the report of the Norfolk City Health Department for December as pertains to the same subject. Quoting from a recent editorial in the Washington Tribune, Dr. Jackson broadcasts the following information: "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 295 among whites. The registration of births shows 16 colored and 466 white. There were 151 more births than deaths among the whites; while 15 more deaths than births were registered among the colored people." From the Washington Evening Star, Dr. Jackson gives us this: "Out of every 1000 babies born in Maryland, ninety-four died in 1922 before reaching twelve months of age, which is eighteen deaths of the mortality rate for the birth registration area of the United States. * * * three counties, Dorchester, Kent and Queens, recorded a Negro infant death rate of more than 200 babies for each 1000 live births. The birth register 155 white and 7 colored, which reveals only seven more colored births than deaths; while white births exceeded deaths by 116." Dr. Jackson asks: "What is the answer to this condition, Does it mean that all our births are not recorded? Is it the result of poor medical attention? Is it the result of poor housing conditions?" No doubt an affirmative answer to the three most questions asked by Dr. Jackson will provide the answer to the first. It is a fact that account of poverty and ignorance many colored mothers are not attended by either practicing physicians nor registerer nurses during child birth. In such instances there is almost certain to be no birth registration and more than likely death of the infant will result before the twelfth month. If the death recorded there will be no corresponding birth record. Poor housing conditions and lack of recreational facilities in urban communities are also contributing causes to rough infant mortality rate. However this may be, there is still the decline in births among the race to be reckoned. The increasing propensity of our married women to shun the responsibility of motherhood for the pursuit of a freer and more livelihood life is largely accountable for this condition. And this tendency is the most pronounced among the people who are better able to provide for a family. Those people in the community who have deluded themselves believing they are the substantial element in fact the substantial people of any community are those who are propagating the human race. As the figures of the Metropolitan Lift Insurance Company were based upon Negroes ten years of age and up; while those in Washington, Maryland and Norfolk health divisions were based on infants, the deduction clear that colored people have a better chance of reaching old age after passing the ninth year, but not so encouraging an opportunity of attaining their tenth birthday.

The young woman found in an automobile the roadside in a drunken stupor, bereaved and bareheaded and benumbed from the old, was taken into their home by the colored family, who made her comfortable and notified a police authorities. "Negroes Aid White Girl Abandoned By Men After Joy Ride," was the headline over a story appearing in the daily press this week which related how a colored family living near Herbert's Station in Princess Anne County played the role of Good Samaritan to a nineteen year-old white girl who had been abandoned by her male companions of an all-night joy ride. The young woman found in an automobile by the roadside in a drunken stupor, barefooted and bareheaded and benumbed from the cold, was taken into their home by the colored family, who made her comfortable and notified the police authorities. Fortunately for this young woman that she was found before dying from exposure and lack of attention. Fortunately for this colored family that she did not die in their home before having had the opportunity to relate to the policemen the story of her plight. If this nineteenyear-old white girl had been found dead from intoxication, barefooted and bareheaded in this colored home, a far different story would have been told, and most likely a story in which they would not have been characterized as Good Samaritans.

Few influences seem to exercise more undisputed sway over the human mind than those which induce men to separate themselves into exclusive classes. All through history, we find humanity arranging itself into mutually hostile groups, into tribes and nations, aristocracies and proletariats, capitalists and laborists. Even the things of the mind have been deflected in the same way. Civilizations and cultures become antagonistic. And churches and produced factions inside religious communities is one of the commonplaces of history. Never before, perhaps, has this influence been so active or aggressive as it is today. The Great War was largely the outcome of the intense and self-centered nationalism of the peoples of Europe, a nationalism which does not as yet appear to have abated at all. The most formidable problems which are looming up before this century are clearly going to center about international color feeling, a relative new force in international affairs, and it requires no excessive perspicacity to detect the consolidation of Capital and labor in two political groups which is now going on over a large part of the globe. The association of people into groups for mutual intercourse, or for the pursuit of common ends, it goes without saying, a perfectly right and healthy thing. In fact, movements having such an aim exist in order to bridge social and economic guilds by a special form of brotherly association. The abilities which arise when the associaler begins to interact with an antagonistic attitude toward those outside, and its primary constructive aim becomes perverted by pride or selfishness, suspicion or fear. Thus the dividing of humanity into nations is obviously right. It enables each group to develop a certain corporate individuality, to make distinctive contributions to the progress of civilization, in addition to maintaining the ordinary structure of political life, but when nations become infected with a difference, or contempt for other nations, it leads straight and inevitably to war. It is the same with color. It is right that the people of Asia and Africa should wish to take a position in the world equal to that of any other peoples. But if they attempt to force rights which they have not won, or if the peoples of Europe attempt to exercise a control which is no longer needed, or is used for selfish ends, there also we find the seeds of future war. The case is even clearer with Capital and Labor. If Capital claims the right to too large a share of the product of collective effort, or attempts to conduct business automatically, as if those collectively grouped as Labor were but human machines, or on the other hand if Labor regards the capitalist as the enemy of society and denies to enterprise and legitimate freedom, it claims for itself, then we shall move along the path toward revolution and civil war. Nobody can look out over the world today and persuade himself that these estranging influences are not abroad, trying busily to separate and embitter mankind. Incitements to fear, hatred and en- Saturday, February 23, 1924 vy are to be found in speeches, in newspapers, everywhere. The divisions which sunder the races, the color groups, or the nations of the earth, or the class which owns most of the wealth from the majority which seek employment at their hands, have not yet been bridged. Unless the leader they will break forth in due time and will form a human strife, as such divisions have done from the beginning of time. They will not disappear if they are ignored. People in 1913 were everywhere saying that there could never be another war. Yet the worst war in history started in 1914. And so today. Unless the nations and their resolved leaders selfishly grieved, and jealousy, and work for co-operation and unity, these evils will produce their inevitable fruits. The truth, of course, is that humanity is a single family, each member of which owes to all the others the inescapable duty of mutual brotherly love. They simply cannot hand themselves together into nations, and races, and classes, each asking and asking, once long established tradition "Am I your brother's keeper?" and not expect trouble to follow. The evils which threaten today are not the product of some unknown and unknowable cause. They are the result of the ignorance and selfishness, to the greed and dishonesty, to the men and women yield allegiance in every facet of life, to the dispelling those threatening clouds is simple. It is to start from the promise that all men and nations are in reality brethren, and that they must act toward one another as if they were brothers, seeking their own prosperity and happiness, not in selfish accumulation of wealth, or pride of place or power, the mutual practice of the Golden Rule, and then only, will mankind progress steadily toward that peace and freedom which it seeks today. THE WEEK'S EDITORIAL From The Nation (New York) In the twenty-nine years from 1899 to 1918, 3,224 lynchings—an average of 111 each year—were officially recorded in the United States. In 1919 the number had shrunk to 8, in 1920 to 65, in 1922 to 52 and in 1923 there were only 28 instances of this particular form of primitive brutality. An unjudicial judge would hardly call twenty-eight lynchings a record to be proud of, but it was already steady in the activities of own American anarchists. If the South is undergoing a change of heart the reasons are perhaps not far to seek; the migration of the Negroes to other regions is one; the publicity which the Dyeo Anti-Lynching Bill has received is indubitably another. Since 1919 the Bill has twice been reported the twice in 1922 housed by a vote of 230 to 119. Its rejection by the Senate was chiefly due to a Southern filibuster. Senator Borah and others doubted its constitutionality, though the bulk of competent legal opinion seems to hold otherwise. There will be ample time and opportunity to determine this question after the Bill has been passed; and meanwhile the lynchings receives from the able campaign of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in behalf of the Bill can only disrupt in a more widespread disgust with the practice.

What incident took place when the first New Orleans colored regiment received its flags? An Adventure In Good Will By R. B. Eleazer, Educational Director The Interacial Commission It's Origin and Work Part 2. METHODS It has been seen that the Commission on Interacial Cooperation grew out of the tense racial situation which developed just after the World-War. When that crisis was past, the Commission undertook the task of permanently improving race relations throughout the South, by putting as far as possible upon a Christian basis. To this end committees have been set up in every Southern State and in 800 counties. In many communities their efforts have been notably successful. Threatened lynchings and riots have been prevented, injustices have been corrected, cooperation for mutual welfare has been brought about, relations of frankness have been confidence have been established before the best elements of both races. The philosophy on which the work of these groups rests is the belief that every man is entitled to a hearing, that mutual understanding is the surest means of conciliation, and that a Christian solution of every interacial problem can be found if men are willing to seek it in a Christian spirit. The method of securing these ends is to bring together in each community representative of the best white and color people so that certain relations may be up. These committees frankly face and discuss all points of friction or danger, and seek to obviate them. The Negro members are encouraged to lay bare any grievances or injustices from which they are keenly sensible. Perhaps it is a feeling that they are not getting justice in the courts, or protection at the hands of the law. Perhaps it is lack of sewers, sidewalks, or other public utilities in the Negro area of some city. Perhaps it is the need of better education, it is economic exploitation of which they complain. Whatever is may be the committee hears the case with no mind, goes into it frankly and sympathetically, and takes such action as the facts seem to command. The actual relief afforded means a great deal toward better relations, but the opportunity for frank and sympathetic conference probably means even more. This method of approach to the problem represents the major contribution of the Interracial to its solution. The Commission does not seek to put over a program of race relations. It does not say to any community: "This must you do because Negroes insist upon one thing only: That in every community where race relations are an issue the best people should take the matter seriously in hand, with the determined purpose to seek a Christian solution of every problem as it arises, and to substitute good will and justice for distrust and suspicion. With proposition so sound there can be agreement. With rare exceptions, therefore, the Commission has no difficulty in securing the hearty cooperation of the best people in the community. A significant recent development in the movement is the enlistment of the leading women of the Southern various State committees, and to promote the study of this question in their civic and religious organizations. The Commission carries on also a number of lines of general activity, working for better understanding through the press, in the colleges, in summer conferences, thru contacts with great religious group, wherever else opportunity offers. A general survey of the results will be set forth in the concluding number of this series. The Commission now has seventy-five members and is headed by John J. Eagen, of Atlanta. Dr. Will W. Alexander is the general director and Mrs. Luke Johnson has charge of the department of woman's health education and eight field workers and eight field secretaries complete the general staff. Any one interested could do a great service by making possible the employment of additional field secretaries, of whom several are greatly needed. The colored members of the Commission are Bishops R.

So not to disappoint you I learn to there satisfy your morning the appalling statement the ginning of this article is true, however, the answer not the result of the explosion. In fact it is due rather to an explosion, and right now am going to drop the bank if you are not hit. This is an explosion of skills a fancy held by far too many. Negroes all have good teeth, excellent teeth, teeth, in some way, someone has unusually fine teeth, someone of us have who take going to them. Within the past few weeks has been my privilege in association with my assistants to make physical examinations of all 3000 young men and the flower of our race. As you can this examination we must careful inspection of the neck the revelation was shooting. Please catch the significance of its statement. We examined just men and women, not old or women. The future outlook of these young people, unless they are themselves under the care of a dentist and vain under the division until the end of life itself. As a rule the front teeth good. Ask the average young person to show his teeth and be simply draws back his lips, but we cannot stop there. We had them the language of the dent to be wide. And there behold in chambers of horrors which only frequently revealed itself, a star in decay, cavities, snags, toothgums and infections galore. Because of bad teeth thousands of our race are injured for life will from disease directly affect to children. The teeth are faithful vants and will serve as well long if we reward them with proper attention. In our efforts maintain health at the proper standard it is just as important to it the dentist at least once a year as it is to call upon the physician for his examination. If in this explosion you have been hit, go see your dentist once, and even if you did not hit go see him any way, for the day will surely come when you "wish you had." A person is healthier than his teeth. tiness of race does not vaunt to self while men are at work or engaged in serious duties, but caring the periods of diversion, tion and recreation. The Negro's relation to the white man is far more agreeable at his place of business than at his club or at his church, theaters, places of creation and amusement, hotels or her shops, restaurants, and so centers in the congested area and the friction engendered close intimacy of contact will be diminished. Separate School Agitation Norris In the South where the Negro is relatively most numerous, the scholastic separation of the race is the fixed and unvarying pass. This issue is now agitating northern cities from Georgia in the low half of the lower tier of nor- thern states such as Pennsylvania, N ersey, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, where the Negroes constitute goodyly sprinkling of the popu- lation, separate schools have been in operation.
