AN ANSWER TO MODERNIST PREACHERS By Columbus Maxwell (Continued from last week) THE LEARNING AND CULTURE OF THE APOSTLES PAUL VS THE LEARNING AND CULTURE OF THE MODERNIST PREACHER, THE HIGHER CRITICS AND THE SCIENTISTS. Which of the modernists preachers would dare to claim or boast the learning, wisdom, culture and ability of the Apostle Paul? Which of them could have written the Pauline Epistles? Which of them could have made the learned arguments contained in the Epistle to the Romans? Which of them could produce the eloquent and clear homilies and doctoral expositions contained in the Epistle to the Hebrews or who among them could match the learning, philosophy, and the researches contained in any of the Epistles? The answer is; none of them; no, not one of them. NOW THIS APOSTLE WHO IS MORE LEARNED THAN ANY ONE OF THE MODERNISTS OR THAN. ALL OF THEM SAYS: (speaking of the character of the work of Jesus) AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE THE FELLOW- SHIP OF THE MYSTERY. WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN GOD, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST. The modernists who now put Jesus in the class of the common people and class him with the rank and file of sinners, who DENY THE INSPIRATION of the SCRIPTURE, class among the fables the story of the "FALL OF MEN" and the blessed story of the ATONEMENT: will be among the ALL MEN" who will be "made" to see by this same JESUS whom they now reject, "What the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST. THIS SAME LEARNED APOSTLE STATED TO THE COLOSSISANS: For by Him (Jesus) were all things created, that are in heaven, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions, or principalities or powers: ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM (Jesus) AND FOR HIM (Jesus). The Apostle John says: "JESUS WAS IN THE WORLD AND THE WORLD WAS MADE BY HIM." This settles forever the question of WHENCE THE COSMOS? The geologist looking at his stone nor the archeologist delving into the earth in quest of lost civilizations will never be able to find anything to the contrary. The Apostle also states: "ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM (Jesus) and without HIM (Jesus) was not anything MADE that was MADE." Yet how hard it is to make very much educated (??) people understand the origin of all things. THE TESTIMONY OF THE INFALLABLE AND IMPECCABLE JESUS: Substantiating all that the learned and inspired Apostles have said about HIM as being the CREATOR and MAKER of the heaven and earth and of ALL THINGS VISIBLE and INVISIBLE and showing how HE HIMSELF, WAS CREATED and EXISTED BEFORE any other of the FATHER'S CREATIONS, HE says through the Apostle John: "And unto the angel of the church at Laodice, write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and the true witness, THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD." Rev. 3:14. What Jesus is saving here is: In the Beginning of the CREATION of GOD, that is to say, that when GOD began HIS work of CREATION, HE (GOD) began on the SPIRIT-PLANE; and that the first SPIRIT-BEING HE (God) brought into existence was JESUS CHRIST, to WHOM He (God) gave the POWER and AUTHORITY to CREATE or call into existence everything else which was made in heaven and earth, whether VISIBLE or INVISIBLE, thrones or dominions, principalities or powers: THAT ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM (Jesus) and for HIM (Jesus). IS THEN, JOSEPH THE FATHER OF JESUS, AND WAS (Jesus) SIRED AFTER THE MANNER OF THE COMMON STOCK, AND IS HE (Jesus) PART AND PARCEL OF THE SINFUL BACE AS IS CLAIMED BY THE MODERNIST PREACHERS? THE CHARACTER OF HIS WORK AS IT IS SETFORT IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ANSWERS: NO! NO! THRICE NO! Could Joseph SIRE such a SON? Being a human being could Joseph SIRE a SUPER-HUMAN BEING? Being peccant could Joseph an IMPECCANT SON? Being a fallen man could he SIRE a PERFECT SON? NOT SO LEARNED—The Modernist boasts of their very great learning; of their intensive investigation; of their wonderful explorations; of their great light which has thrown upon their researches by evolution, archaeology and kindred sciences. Since they ( the modernists and scientists) know so very much and have grown so very wise and solved so many problems, why don't they DEVISE aided by their superior wisdom which DISCARDS GOD and the INSTRUCTIONS He (God) hath given to the world in the BIBLE which they reject, A CURE FOR THE ILLS OF HUMANITY which is enveloped in misery and confusion from POLE to POLE? ARE THE MODERNISTS SO LEARNED? Which of them would dare to say that under strict con- secration and with the spirit of PATIENCE and DEVOTION to the things of GOD, and after examining the SCRIPTURES with PRAYER and REVERENCE; they have reached the conclusion that the HIBLE is a book of MYTHS; that JERUS is an IMPOSTER AND that GOD is the DOER of IMMORAL THINGS. Not one of them can say so. ALL OF THESE CRITICISMS which these modernists preachers (???) bring against the BIBLE have been TAKEN, WORD FOR WORD, from the Treatise of Tom Paine's called "THE APPEAL TO REASON." (Continued Next Week) WAY "QUEEN OF SIN" FAILED TO APPEAR Why the Photo-Drama, "The Queen of Sin" was not presented at Attacks Theatre last Sunday, March 2nd is explained by the following communication.

"I wish to advise my friends that this communication was delayed and did not reach me until Monday, March 3rd, and I had no way of informing the public that I would not be able to present the Drama on Sunday.

"This item is recommended by the Secretary of the Interior and the Director of the Budget after a thorough investigation of the needs of the university and the service it is rendering.

STONY SILENCE on the part of Administration leaders meets the veiled charge that politics was chiefly responsible for the cancellation of the propose flight of the airship Shenandoah to the North Pole this summer. Democrats point out that the flight would have been either a great success or a notable failure right in the midst of the presidential campaign and that the Coolidge Administration could not afford to take a chance on it being a failure.

Alas! some one has awak- ened and begun something. A local quintet has heen formed and will soon be ready to arrange games with the hest. It should not ake long for this team to get in shape. It has a good nucleus to form a team around, and all of the layers have had some experience in caging the big pill. Just a few rough edges need to he knocked off and in a couple of weeks the caxers ought to be in fine fettle, Tt is rather late in the season, but these boys just want to show the fans that they can do their stuff jon’ the floors.

Those who cannot afford to pay the top price for it, have to resort to other ‘means or seeure the education from laces, that are, within thei, reach Now, Norfolk fans have to be ed cated in basket ball and there are "quite a few who are anxious to ob- tain it, but seemingly the price is peyond reason, therefore the Jas twa games Unit were staged here did not have a large attendance ws fexpected. They are not willing to pay a heavy admission, esnevially ‘when they do not understand the fine points of the sport. [tis out ‘of the question to et cotters [nvices out of the game,” Bring the fee within reason and no dont! a packed house will be a feature of the next game. The new squad has not heen named set, but what does a litte thing like ‘a name matter. What is wanteds is an aggregation of has. keteers that will do their stuff t6 the delight of the spectators.

A. | by U.S. Youn Director of Athletics and Coach Lineoin University after earetul and Uioughtful eon. sideration of the workings of the C. TA. A. have drawn the fol- lowing conclusions relative to it: ‘There are too many inequalities in it to admit of ever approaching an ideal situation for Standard Colleges. ‘There is no doubt. that the present organization has done fa grat piece of pioneer and pre liminary work. When it is seen that a basis has been made for a proper organization, steps ought to be tuken to phice that organization where it rightfully belongs. Tam ffering the following plans for re organization, First—Let the As- Soctation be composed of {Wo de partments, a collegiate and a pre- paratory department, Seeond—Let these two departments function sep: arately in every respect. Tt ig possible to organize along these lines in that there are enowh schools .in the oxganization with two departments, to do so. Where ‘a schoo] has no Collegiate depart- ment, let its activities be among those with Preparatory depart- ment only. There is no effort made in this article to underestimate Preparatory activities, But it should be borne in mind that there is a difference in standing between College and Preparatory activities which should be appreciated, -Ev- ‘ery football player or any other jathlete should be given the advan- tage of both preparatory training and college development, It is un- fair toa man it he has played four years while in a preparatory school, to say to him that upon entrance into coliege, he is ineli- gible for further competition. ‘The time has come when something must ‘be done to meet this present condition. It can be done only by divorcing the two departments. |The history of the organization is replete with new laws and new regulations every year, drawn for ‘the purpose of meeting these new and often unsatisfactory situations, 'Dissention und difference of ‘thought have served only to create many rulings, which, -beeause of their number and contradictory no- ture, has resulted in. jmiting the proper functioning of the Consti- tution, ‘There are members of the organization who have been frank to say that they alone are able to eet certain doubtful parts of the Constitution, giving as a rea- son, they themseives made the law. My’ argument is, the reason, for these various and adverse rulings and opinions can be found to spring from these inequalities, re- sulting from indiscriminate mixing of College and Preparatory stand- ards. _. It is to be hoped thut at the mect- ing of the C. I. A. A. at Lynch- burg, March 7 and ¥, this problem ‘will be: solved. EOIRE ALL NEXT WEEK ! Frank Lloyd Production, Inc.

PART TWO PAGES 7 TO 12 Glimpsed Along the Way Glimpsed Along the Way Sunday schools, Bible classes and other church auxiliaries in Norfolk are rendering a valuable service to the community in presenting speakers of prominence from time to time as they seem to be doing with increasing frequency of late. It is always good for a com- munity to have new ideas infused in it by people who have had an opportunity to observe a great deal of life from many different angles. The recent appearance of Rev. Dr. Ransome of New York, at Emanuel church in Portsmouth; Dr. Baird, (white) at Bank Street Baptist church, and the coming to St. John church of Dr. Louis L.

I do not mean to discredit any other shop in REVIEW and COMMENT The Layman Bill passed the Virginia Senate last Friday by a vote of 29 to 2. By the time this is read it will have passed the House. This measure supplants the Mapp Act, the state's prohibition enforcement law and was designed to conform with the Volstead Act. In many respects it is a stringent measure far more severe in its penalties that the Mapp law, which ushered prohibition into the state some years before the enactment of the Eighteenth Amendment. The Layman law makes the violation of the prohibition statutes a felony, now a misdemeanor, and Are You Singing The Blues? Norfolk Journal and Guide, For more than a year I have been a consistent user of the advertising space in your paper, Journal and Guide; my advertisement has not failed to appear in a single issue since it began to run and I feel it a pleasure to inform you that the results have been entirely satisfactory. Mine is a small business, a restaurant, and on an off street, but I have succeeded fairly well, and the money that I have paid you for advertisement has indeed been a judicious investment. Norfolk, because I admit that there are two or three excellent ones here, nevertheless a great deal of credit is due Boone and Jones for carrying out their advanced ideas of the service many people would like to obtain in a barber shop. Tenement house building for the occupancy of colored people is much on the increase in this city, and fortunately most of the builders are taking into account the better living standards now manifested by the race group. They have learned that Negroes demand desirable homes and in most cases will not accept anything else, when they don't have to. In the new high school section and Huntersville, are many new tenements, also in several sections of the interior of the city. Now that spring is about to make its advent, its time to begin to clean up. Business men should especially be careful not to get the spring fever and allow their establishments be imposes a jail sentence in case of conviction. Violators are also subject to a fine. Possession of liquor in the home under this bill is unlawful. Briefly stated the Layman bill provides: 1. That any person aiding or abetting any sort of prohibition law violation shall be guilty along with the person who shall be declared the principal. NOT LESS THAN SIX MONTHS 2. That persons engaged in the manufacture of distilled liquor shall be guilty of a felony. Distilling is now classed as a misdemeanor. NUMEROUS merchants and business men are continually, "Singing the Blues:"—no money, no business—nothing encouraging—Why? Automobiles will not run without gas and oil and business will not boom without constant advertising and intelligent direction. The business man who is always groaning about hard times is usually the one who keeps his business under a bushel. The intelligent use of a little printers ink will do wonders for your business.

I don't know anything about what the professional baseball players around this section are doing toward getting in line for the coming season, but there is no question about the sandlotters. They are busy. And where there is no sand lot convenient, they are dirt streets. Any place big enough for a horse and wagon to turn in, is big enough for a baseball diamond for young America. When the boy becomes a baseball fan, allow him a little time to have his fun at it. It is healthful play. True, that window glasses and old folks' heads are all in danger when the boys once become absorbed in the game, but we have to take our chances, because the children must play. 3. That persons who sell or transport in excess of one gallon of liquor, upon conviction, shall pay a fine of not more than $500 and shall serve a prison term of not less than six months nor more than two years. 4. That persons who give liquor to minors or use minors in the sale or transportation of liquor shall be deemed guilty of a felony. 5. That judges or justices shall not have the power to suspend prison terms in the cases of persons convicted of making, selling or transporting more than one quart of NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1924 liquor, but in cases of inadvertent violations juries may relieve the offender of the prison term. 6. That persons convicted of offenses classed as felonies under the prohibition law shall be confined in the pentitentiary for not less than one nor more than five years, or in the discretion of the jury, in jail for not less than six months nor more than two years. PROTECTION FOR OFFICERS 7. That officers who find it necessary to shoot to protect themselves in enforcing the law shall have the right to trial in another jurisdiction, if there is a reason to believe a fair trial can not be obtained in the court, having jurisdiction at the scene of the shooting. 8. That clerks of courts shall furnish a list of the names of persons convicted of violating the prohibition laws to the state prohibition commissioner for use in detecting persistent violators who may subsequently be convicted in other counties or cities. The prohibition commissioner would use this list in having additional prison terms giving persons convicted of second and third offenses. Senator Layman in urging the passage of his bill said among other things it was intended to make the lawless element realize that the state is determined to enforce prohibition. Of course, that is the intent, and it is to be hoped that the new law will raise prohibition enforcement in the state from the sorry mess in which it is involved. But the Layman law gives no assurance that it will accomplish what it is designed to do. In the school of sociological and criminological thought there is a question of whether or not severe penalties militate against the commission of crime. Even in situations aside from prohibition where there is a wholesome public sentiment in favor of enforcement of certain laws, Colorful News Movies By the Cameraman 1 PRESTON NEWS SERVICE 1. Who's who at Howard University. 2. Congratulations, Pennsylvania! A troublesome question arose last week at Howard University when the hopes of every friend were dangling in the scales of suspense, all because the appropriation of $500,000 for an addition to the University Medical School, previously approved by Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of Interior, but later stricken out in the House by Congressman Brynes, of South Carolina, was primed to run the guantlet of the Senate. Already, it was said, Senator Overman, of North Carolina, had pledged himself to present a point of order against the appropriation, which was to be re-inserted in the Interior Department Bill by Republican Senators, loyal to their party principles and much interest in Howard and her future. The Republican forces were consequently arranged in battle formation, and Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, was chosen to carry Howard's appropriation flag to the front by offering amendments to the bill. Hist, yea thought—Lend me your eyes—Just as the intrepid Republican Senator was about to fire the first shot, he was handed a letter, said to have been written by Prof. Kelly Miller, who had just returned from the Sanhedrin, held in the "Windy City" in which it is said that Dean Miller asked that "The Amendments be pressed no further." In respect of Dean Miller, feel that one so famous as he must assuredly represent the sentiments of the University, Senator Lenroot withdrew his amendments, and prepared to permit Senator Overman's point of order to win by default when another word came from Howard University—this time from President Durkee — in which it was said that Kelly Miller's letter did not express the sentiment of the University and that, the University was anxious, if possible, of securing the appropriation for addition to the Medical School building." stringent penalties have not provided a deterrent to crime. Murder is as fragrant in the land today as it ever was, yet we have had capital punishment from the beginning of time. With prohibition, a situation which public sentiment does not solidly support, it is entirely possible and very probable that under laws imposing harsh punishment it will prove exceedingly hard to obtain convictions. Juries, as a whole, are not over inclined to convict under the Mapp Act, even when conviction imposes only a misdemeanor penalty, and it is a question if they, will not be less inclined to convict when the conviction carries a felony punishment. This prohibition situation is not going to be bettered by more law, but only thru an education in wholesome respect for existing laws, fostered by liberality in legislation. Neither the rabid drys or rabids wets are contributing anything save confusion to prohibition enforcement, nor will the Layman law make much headway in improving conditions. Commonsense, Commonsense, is the crying need, ourfolks. Woman Sues For Right To Vote Birmingham, Ala., March—(A. N. P.)—Considerable interest has been created here by the filing of a suit by Mrs. Cora Trotter against County Registrar, I. K. Bowen, who refused to permit her to register for voting. He claimed that she did not know enough about the constitution of the United States after he had given her a piece of paper and told her to write down what she knew. Mrs. Trotter holds that she is a property owner, has paid her poll tax, a citizen of age, and therefore, entitled to vote. She is being represented in court by attorney J. E. Robinson. She is the first colored woman in Alabama to demand the right to vote. Senator Leuroot, who was quite disgusted, it is said, rallied his forces and beat the Democrats by having the Howard amendment passed, notwithstanding the fight put up by the Democarts. There is much weeping, wailing, and knashing of teeth upon Howard Hill, and in fact, wherever there are any Howard Alumni or friends; for they realize what a hairbreadth escape their beloved institution has had, and they are wondering what kind of a mathematician Kelly Miller has declined to, that he should be willing to subtract $500,000 from Howard's funds. Some of them are wondering how the good Dean expected to be kept on the pay roll, with such a cut as he condoned in the institution's funds. More serious than these possibilities, however, is the question of who's who at Howard? Pennsylvania, the "Keystone state", has stepped into the lime light through the recently made recommendations of a welfare conference, which earnestly considered the welfare of the state's population, with particular object of ascertaining whether or not all of its citizens were receiving non-discriminatory attention of the of the state agencies. Unlike many similar recommendations of white and colored conferees of other states and localities, who has sought to set up separate institutions for separate races, in an emphatic ence pointed out that racial disway, the Pennsylvania Confertinations were not part of the program sought to be consummated; that the services of social agencies and welfare workers were not to be restricted to members of their own race; and that the true purpose of the Conference was to aid in perfecting relief for all people, that where as was most likely to be the case with colored people, a group of citizens was held back in its share of benefits, attention should be given to that group, to the end that the assistance given to all beneficiaries would be equalized. Congratulations, Pennsylvania. STRANGERS IN THE DARK By GERTRUDE SANBORN Author of "Veiled Aristocrats," the Gripping Color Line Novel Recently Published (Released and Copyrighted by the Famous Writers Guild) John Howard went to the station the other day to meet his mother who was coming up from Mississippi to keep house for him in Chicago. Both looked very happy They were well dressed and they went away together in a smart new car. Now all this is rather strange for it was only two years ago that John Howard was undeniably poor. A friend, who passed him in the depot, looked at his natty apparel and exclaimed, "Well Howard, you must have struck some good luck!" Howard smiled broadly. "Good luck is hard work." he rejoined as he tacked a warm robe about his mother and stepped on the self-starter. Now, suppose we skim back across the weeks until we reach a night two years before. It was a snappy winter hight. Simultaneously two men, on opposite sides of the city opened the front doors of their houses and stepped out into the frosty air. They had never seen each other. One was well dressed. The other shabby. One was a white man—the other black. Yet though different in appearance they were in the same mood. Carl Whitman, the white man, had never studied anything in his life. He thought he did not need to. His family had always been a very wealthy one. They had traveled; they had purchased objects of art; they had wintered in Florida and summered a road dragging the wide-eyed little Whitman after them by his chubby right hand. Whitman was impressed at an early age by the fact that his family seemed to know everything there was to be known, so secretly, and because he was a lazy little boy, he determined to let them wear all the laurels. He had dawled through college coming out no wiser than he went in. He had in fact, as he said with a grin, "graduated by the back door," which meant in cold terms that he had flunked. Through mismanagement the Whitman estate had shrunken alarmingly in value. The great wealth of former years had simmered down into a few tottering securities represented by a mass of disorderly napkins. So here was Whitman on this winter night, a man of thirty, with very little practical knowledge; with no family to advise him, for they had all died; with a great house on his hands and no servants to run it, for they had all left, because he was unable to pay their wages. His cluttered desk attested his hopeless struggle with matters of which he knew nothing. John Howard, the colored man, had been studying all his life. He knew he had to for his race was several generations behind in knowledge and Howard did not propose, personally to march at the tail end of civilization's procession. Unlike Whitman's ancestors, Howard's ancestors had not traveled to any good purpose for one could hardly count their trip in chains in a dirty galley from an African jungle to a sweaty job on a Louisiana plantation. Howard ran an elevator during the day and since his graduation from the law school he had opened a small office in which he also lived. He was obliged to keep his job on the elevator for he had to send money back home to his mother in Mississippi. Howard cooked his own meals to keep down expenses. He was always careful after each meal to air his two small rooms thoroughly so that Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and软软 as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face.

He made his bed neatly every morning and then folded it up and put it away in a closet. He dusted every day with a red bandanna that his mother had sent him on Christmas, and once a week a woman from the flat below came up and scrubbed the floors for him. Things looked pretty dark sometimes for no client had yet ascended the uncarpeted stairs to rap on his door and ask excitedly. "Now about this case, Mr. Howard—how soon do you think we can get it into court?" On this particular evening, tired of waiting, tired of the unbroken ticking of the clock, and stiff from the sitting in the chilly room, Howard determined to close up his office and go out for a walk. He had found that walking nearly always warded off the blues. He went out, as we have already encountered, just about the time that Whitman left his big house on the houseward. To be very exact Whitman ran out of his house almost in terror; terror of life that had so suddenly faced him with the query, "Well, what are YOU going to do to earn your bread?" Whitman had never eaten bread-consciously; never had had he sat down in a highly ornamented cafe and ordered just-bread. It had always been, "Bring me a broiled lobster, waiter,—an artichoke in butter and some hot-house grapes." Whitman cut his walk frantically through the night, not knowing where his steps were leading him. He turned from one dark street into another. He passed from the section of the city that was familiar to him into one that was totally strange. All at once a shadow detached itself from the darker shadows of an areaway and followed Whitman. The shadow crept upon him, swung (Continued on Page 11) The Police Dragnet RHEUMATISM If you are SICK with RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, LUMBAGO, LAME BACK, GOUT.

The officer in the case alleged the two girls' accosted a white man on Charlotte near Camberland streets. Estelle claimed Cule as her birth place, but stated she was reenrolled in Florida. She accused the policeman of striking her when placing her under arrest. Justice Spindle closely examined witnesses to ascertain the facts in her accession, but this charge was not substantiated, the other woman, Thelma Phelps, asserting that she did not use the officer's strike Estelle. OVER A MATCH Pearl Park and Annie Williams appeared in court on charges of fighting and disorderly conduct. Annie wore bandages on her head and exhibited what she claimed to be hurt wounds on her shoulders. She charged Pearl with indicting her injuries. Testimony was adjudged to the effect that the trouble started over a match, Annie alleging Pearl came to home and asked for a match. Annie who drew the first blood. In no matches. From that an argument ensued followed with a free use of the stove poker on both sides. Annie said Pearl delivered the first blow. Heterl said it was Annie she drew the first blood. In the cross testimony there was much dispute about who drew the first blood, but from epidemics on Annie's head there was no question who drew the meat of it. Since Pearl went to Annie's home and precipitated the trouble she drew a fine of $10.00 and ten days in jail, while Annie was fined $10. The officer in the case testified that both women were very much under the influence of liquor.

The other gent impressed me as being the hard-working deskman type, of high'nervous tension and a superbundance of appreciation for details. He was holding an income tax blank in his tight grasp, and despite his homely appearance I received quite a shock when I observed that it was of the $p,000 class. Turning to the prosperous looking passenger, I heard him say in a manner which indicated a bit of pain: "Well, Ive got to get myself together and send off my income tax check. Can't see where the dough's gone each year. The firm raised me to five thousand dollars last year, and it's been all the little wife and I could do to finish paying for our home and keep a little nest egg in sight for a rainy day. She's a fine manager, too, but her health's not very good. It keeps me busy figuring out how to pay off the cook and the doctor." "Hm!" responded the prosperous one, thoughtfully. "What do you do with your surplus?" "Oh, I get four per cent on that in the saving bank. It's pretty safe there, and I can always reach it in a hurry if the wife needs it." "Well," replied our friend of the sparkling diamonds, with a hearty laugh, "You should invest the surplus in non-taxable securities, and then you'd only be taxed when you sold 'em. That's what I do," he continued, with a wise grin; and I don't care whether Andy Mellon gets his tax reduction plan to work or not. Tax-exempt securities are the things to have. An earned income, unless you've got lost of dependents, is a pain in this day and time. And even if you've got a big family you can juggle the surplus so as to be on the safe side," he concluded with a chuckle. "Then the fellow with the modest salary pays the difference, doesn't he?" ventured our honesty friend, as he took another look at the tax blank. "That's the idea, pure and simple," responded the prosperous one. "But that isn't quite fair, is it?" asked the modest one in a painful tone. "Sure! Everything's fair in love, war and taxes," replied the man of means. "You see, when the Democratic capitalists piled up dough during the Wilson administration, it was all cut and dried to put the entire burden on the poor and those of moderate means; and the only thing to do is to evade being poor, or get exemptings for a gang of dependents," our genial friend concluded, as he drew forth a fresh perfecto from a sliver cigar case. Just then the busy porter entered the smoker and replenished NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Stirs White Women In Plea For Good Will Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., Makes Best of Uprecedented Opportunity. To Plead Before South's Womanhood. (Special to the Journal and Guide) Charlotte, N. C., Feb. 18-Breaking a rigid tradition that no Negro shall appear before a white female audience in any representative capacity, Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., the colored orator was invited to address the students of Flora McDonald College at Red Spring, North Carolina, on Friday morning. The institution is the leading school of the Scotch Presbyterians in the South, its attendance numbering hundreds coming from every state in this section. The orator spoke to a vast throng in this city on Thursday night, at which time several members of the faculty as well as a large number of the young women heard him, as a result of which he was tended the invitation to speak at the girls' seminary. He was cordially received by the student boly he stepped upon the platform and caressively introduced by the resident student. He held spells spellbound by his wit and humor, his logic and his fervent appraisal for "My struggling, aspiring, hopeful Race" touched in brilliant imprune. The speaker declared: "The Negro in the South is the acid test of the courage and the Christianity of the American white man. In proportion as my weak and often times defenceless race is accorded just and equal treatment here in Dixie will the dominant group succeed not only in the martis of peace and commerce, but in the grander realm of human service. I appeal to this magnificent group of the queenly daughters of the South, the lineal descendants of its idols to let no color blind your eyes to truth or hatred steel your heart to action. The fallacious doctrine that might make right be supplanted by the gospel of the winged Prince of Peace that right makes might and truth is God." He was tendered a great reception at the conclusion of speech, many showing upon him the warmest congratulations. Young Morris spoke to a record crowd of more than 3000 persons of both races in Columbia, South Carolina, last Monday night, at the end of his whirl-wind trip thru the state, during the course of which he was greeted by more than 25, 000 people. Tarboror, N. C.—Before one of the greatest audiences ever assembled in Tarboro, Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., delivered his eloquent address here on last Sunday afternoon on, "The Measure of the Man," in the Edgecombe County Court House. The crowd that assembled to hear the noted speaker was a record breaker, pacing the room from the front, to the door, persons standing in every possible space. Young Morris was introduced by the Rev. Dr. C. E. Eaton, principal of the Tar River Institute at Greenville, as a citizen of the world. For one hour he pleaded for character, courage, faith, aspiration and loyalty. He was accorded a big reception by the group who heard him. The meeting closed Mr. Morris's southern tour which has last for the past six months, during which time he has spoken in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina. Music for the occasion was furnished by a great chorus of more than 100 voices consisting of the entire high school while a quintet added much to the enjoyment of the event. Prof. W. A. Pattillo was chairman and Mr. W. M. Newton, secretary of the committee arranging the affair. Mr. Morris reached Norfolk Monday afternoon to attend the funeral of Rev. Dr. E. H. Hunter, leaving for New York and Chicago Tuesday night. the towel rack with fresh linen. "George, have you any ink on board?" nervously inquired the modest passenger. "I want to figure out my income tax." "I think we have, sir," replied the porter, promptly. "By the way, George," said the humble friend, as the porter reappeared with a bottle of ink: "Do you have to pay any income tax?" "No sir" responded the porter. "How's that?" Do you make less than $5,000 a year or have you dependents?" "Both," answered the porter with a laugh. "If I made $5,000 a year, I'd still be exempt," he continued. "Why? Are you a tax evader? snapped the homely traveler. "No, sir," replied the porter "You see, it's like this. I'm holding on to a couple of Victory Bonds which I'm going to split among my six kids, some day; and you see, I'd get $2,400 exemption for the kids alone, and that's more' I make on the road," he concluded in a happy veil, as the man of means scowled. In Houston, Texas, the dentists have a local dental society which meets weekly and is opened, with prayer,—we hope for the patients. A successful new business enterprise in Chicago is the Chemical Products Corporation, manufacturers of coal tar disinfectants, fly sprays, and disinfect powders. Construcive Program Announced For Wilmington Colored Commerce Chamber Wilmington, -N. C.-Dr. F. W. Avant, who was elected first president of the recently organized Colored Chamber of Commerce of this city, in delivering before that body his speech of acceptance a few days ago eloquently outlined the purpose, aims and hopes of the organization and chartered a course for future guidance that strongly appealed to the associate member and the general public. 4. For assuring the Chamber of its high appreciation of the honor conferred upon him and commending the public spirited citizens for their vision in launching the organization, Dr. Avant sincerely pledged ungrudingly his best services without hope of material compensation or personal aggrandization for the benefit of the organization to the end that it might in turn be of tangible service to the community of which it is a part. In recommending to the Chamber several projects for its future consideration, Dr. Avant said in part: "Gentlemen, it is our longing desire that our organization shall be a living active institution, pregnant with fond hopes and unrelenting determination, to fulfill and carry out successfully many of the principles and propositions laid down in our constitution. And having established the confidence of our people, by accomplishing something worthwhile and thus winning public sentiment, which is one of the most potent powers for our evil in this day, then we will indeed be able to lead our people into new fields of endeavor, as well as to help develop, to a greater degree of efficiency those talents that are now functioning in a meager and less profitable way, we ourselves must do something big, even if we are compelled to use our means generously to do so. It will be encumbent upon us to perform some worthy, charitable, unselfish lead, as an example of what we would have our people emulate. It must be our most cogent duty to oster some enterprise and conduct by the most modern and scientific business methods, that our people may learn "by precepts and example," that it is very necessary to have business and commercial training well in hand, before they can hope to meet successfully the sharp competition of the commercial world, with any marked degree of success. PROJECTS RECOMMENDED Recommendations: To our mind's one of the greatest needs of the our right here in Wilmington; to champion the cause of our people and to mold public sentiment is the establishment of a real good first class newspaper, managed upon real sane business principles. And we would recommend that, important matter to the proper committee for their consideration and to place their findings before the Executive Committee as soon as possible. We would also recommend for your consideration, as an educational stimulant and that we might see and know our great men personal contact and from the inspiration that they will bring to us, that we establish a fund or make proper arrangements for a course or series of lectures, to be delivered nationally by men of our race, of national reputation; men like Kelley Miller, Dubois, Rosee Simmons and others. And help whenever we can to assist in encouraging our people to patronize other artisans of the race, when they entertain them at the Chamber of Commerce, should choose some good local man, capable of giving our people proper information, along legal—business methods who would lecture, upon these subjects at stated times for our information, that we might be encouraged to give these important matters more study and interest because, it is a sad reflection, how little most of us know of legal procedure. We would recommend, that this organization select a competent, proper person as a Notary Public and that this body apply to the Governor of the State, asking him to appoint the man of our choice, to this most important post. One of the things nearest to our heart and one that, we would ask the proper committee to get right down to the bottom of as soon as possible and that we put forth our best efforts to do what we can, in the matter of keeping our people away from the Court House. We should see to it, at least that those who have no real business there; we mean the hanger on fellow who has just acquired the habit of frequenting the place, should be induced to find some other more desirable rendezvous. The Committee I am sure would receive a most hearty welcome from the Judge and those in authority. And of course we would indorse every movement and plan that might be inaugurated to help keep our people, from violating the law and bringing disgrace upon themselves and the race. We should call upon the Commissioner of Public safety and show him that the police officers should be more considerate in their attitude and conduct toward our people; when dispersing a crowd, serving warrants or making arrests, for we are quite sure if they would exercise a little less the bulley attitude, they would response to their orders and the officers would be accorded a more co-operative assistance in certain cases. "The endorsement of this organ- "The endorser of our education and all the possible is needed behind the movement for the establishment of our institution, school or home, for incorrigible boys and girls: of our State. We have the information --- that, the legislature has already passed a bill for the creation of such an institution, but influence must be brought to bear upon those in authority, to see that the provisions of the law are executed as soon as possible. We would have our committee call upon the high officials of the railroad and give them the information and continue to refresh their memories from time to time, relative, to the fact that the lavatories and rest rooms in the station, set apart for the members of our race are not kept clean and sanitary. And that these unpleasant conditions should be ameliorated and kept in a more healthy condition. And the committee should point out to these authorities the discounted and unbusiness like treatment the members of our race receive while we are attempting to purchase tickets and we believe something could be done to better these conditions, if authorities were constantly informed about said conditions, because they do not frequent these places allotted to our group and hence are not informed concerning these matters. You remember the great Governor Bickett said, "If we would get anything, that we must keep knocking at the door of the white man's conscience. "We further recommend, for its splendid influence upon the young men of our race and as a means of leading them toward the church and its wholesome influence that, the proper committee take under advisement, the organization of a Y. M. C. A., to be started and run under efficient management and along sane and helpful lines. "This is a seaport town and because of a somewhat transient population, we believe a movement should be undertaken by our good women, through the influence and cooperation of this body, for the establishment of a Y. W. C. A., so that our young women coming to the city seeking employment etc., might have some place to go for proper environment, therefore, we heartily indorse this proposition and turn this matter over to the proper committee. These things are being done elsewhere and what is good for other places and people are for a greater reason necessary and proper r for our group here in Wilmington. PREVENT COURT LOUNGING PREVENT COURT LUCKING "Another matter of importance, we would submit to your consideration is a s follows" As president of the Colored Chamber of Commerce, we were approached by a white business man in the Murechin Bank Building the other day, calling our attention to the fact that men and women of our race, some local and some from many other places go to that building and solicit funds from every person there, from the first floor to the last one. They are asking financial aid for this purpose and that purpose. These gentlemen know about some of these objects of charity, others they do not and some they think are quite imaginary and often these gifts go into the coffers of the individual. We thought, that worthy causes would receive much larger donations, if all seekers of charity were required to receive a letter of indorsement from this body before, they might have a chance to plead their cause, because now they give a dime to get rid of them, but if they could present endorsement of this body they would know the cause was worthy and more liberal aid would be given. So we would advised that we try to adjust this matter if possible. "We would call your attention to the many criticisms coming from both, white and colored citizens relative to the conduct of our school children, going to and coming from school and as a matter of race pride, we would ask the proper committee to do whatever is possible to correct this seeming nuisance. "From a commercial standpoint, we would direct your attention to the wide field of opportunity, not only for increasing our race assets from the standpoint of wealth, but also from the economic possibility, of affording employment, to so many of our own people. We attempt to mention the following business enterprises because we observe that, they are being operated successfully in other cities of our own state and even way down south, and we can do the same things here, if we can only get these business projects, into the hands of the right kind of men, with the proper training. The establishment of an ice factory, commends itself to us for the increase of commercial activity and from the business point of view because it would develop the competitive idea and because all of our people use ice and in large quantities, and there is a ready market for a common commodity, in a large market with a great demand. "We would invite your attention to the consideration of the establishment of a coffin factory. This business was started in our state sometime ago, but unscrupulous men misappropriated the funds and destroyed the opportunity for a very lucrative business. But, here is another commodity which pulls heavily upon the supply, because we must all some day "Shuff off this mortal coil" and purchase a costly repository for our remains. "We believe this organization should make special efforts to get the farmer to realize how very necessary it is at this time, that he should apply all of this knowledge and muscle and the best that is in him to his industry. For their good and to further their cause we should see to it that New Hanover County, establish a Farmers' Conference, after the pattern of the now famous Farmers' Conference of Tuskegee, where they would learn (Continued on Page Eleven) ICE FACTORY ICE SALES AND SERVICE (incorporated) Distinctive Office Equipment OFFICE SALES AND SERVICE CO., (Incorporated) Distinctive Office Equipment Typewriters 121 W.

POISON BLOOD H. H. Von Schlick, the Bulgarian Herb Tea man, tells people that almost all diseases are caused by impure, poisoned blood. When the stomach is sick you feel miserable you are constipated and the poisons go into his blood. When the liver refuses to work the poisons go into the blood; when the kidneys are weak and out of order more poison goes into the blood and the result is that your blood is sick all over. For many years I have been helping sick people all over the world and it makes me feel so happy to know that my Bulgarian Herb Tea gives relief to those who suffer from stomach, liver, kidney and blood troubles. I say to every one that suffers from sickness to try my Bulgarian Herb Tea—millions of people will use no other medicine—they know that the roots, barks, leaves, herbs, plants and flowers are pure and help to make them well again. Go to your druggist today. Tell him you want Bulgarian Herb Tea. He will be glad to supply you because he knows it is good medicine for the sick. Doctors and druggists everywhere recommend my Bulgarian Herb Ten (formerly called Blood Tea) to because they know it is pure and helps the sick. Just ask your druggist for a box today or I will be glad to send it by mail postpaid 1 large family box for $1.00. Address me H. H. Von Schlick President.

We should try to influence some philanthetic person or persons or the Government in behalf of the Negro farmer. It has been brought to our attention that a white gentlemen of the city is desirous of helping some worthwhile farmer if it can be shown that he is honest and will do the right thing.

WICKER PORTSMOUTH MRS. EDITH E. MARTIN 1243 Glasgow Street Agent and Correspondent Phone 623 PERSONALS —Mrs. J. H. Green and grandson, Master Reuben, had a very pleasant time in Hampton and Newport News Sunday. They worshiped at the First Baptist church and were the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Galvin of Newport News, in the morning and spent the afternoon with her daughter, Nannie, who is in training at the Dixie Hospital. Rev. A. S. Hoard left Saturday, morning for a few days stay in Gloucester County. He filled the Strangers In The Dark (Continued from Page Seven) upon him and Whitman went down. Then a second shadow leapt out upon the first and the thug who had slugged Whitman was battered by a rain of blows delivered by Howard, who had chanced to be walking slowly toward Whitman in the darkness. The thug recovered his balance and fled into the night as Howard bent over the white man to ascertain his injuries. Whitman was unconscious Howard reached into his coat pocket and drew forth Whitman's wallet. He lighted a match and read the name and address inscribed on the flap so that a moment later when an officer appeared to demand an explanation Howard was able to say. "This is Mr. Carl Whitman. If you'll call a cab I'll take him home." There was loose uneven slush on the streets and the cab vacked and creaked as its chains dug an onward progress. Howard sat bolt upright holding the unconscious white man. He began to wonder just why he had stepped in to assume authority over someone he did not in the least know except as he had read of his flitting to Europe now and then when his eye had roamed over the Sunday papers Howard smiled. After all it was an adventure. He would turn the great man over to his butler and perhaps run out for a doctor if the telephone proved too slow. But on reaching Whitman's house there was no butler. There was no one After paying the cabby Howard was obliged to hunt through Whitman's pocket for the front door key. With the help of the cabby he carried Whitman in the library finding it after trying several electric light switches and opening three or four doors that led into rooms and closets. They laid Whitman down upon a cliff. "He's got a good one sure!' grinned the cabby. "Some joint, eh?" he whispered as his eyes were caught by the paintings and heavy furniture that adorned the room. "He's not drunk," corrected Howard. "Somebody held him up!" "Gee! They give him a mean paste in the jaw alright." When the front door had closed on the departing cabby the solemn emptiness of the mansion began to impress itself upon Howard's after adjusting the cushions under Whitman's head he ran up the front stairway and brought back with him a lounging robe, a pain of slippers, towels and a basin of warm water in which floated a large sponge. He untied Whitman's cravat, removed his collar coat and vest, and finally managed to case the unconscious man into his robe. He sponged the blood from his face and neck and after a close scrutiny decided it was not necessary to call a doctor. Whitman was already showing signs of dawning consciousness. He began to mutter. "Everything's gone wrong! No use in anything. Everything's in terrible mess. Can't straighten out anything—only ten shares left—property all tangled up—terrible, terrible mess." Howard's alert mind pondered these mumblings. He crossed the room to Whitman's desk and looked at the disorderly mass of papers that cluttered it from end to end. Suddenly he bent over and began to sort them into little packets. He read them as he sorted. He became, very much interested and sat down before the desk and was soon lost in a rapid appraisal of Whitman's financial affairs as they lay open to his discerning eyes. After a few moments the mumbling from Whitman's corner of the room ceased, but Howard was so far engrossed in the papers before him that he had shifted some of his anxiety from Whitman's physicalills to his financial troubles. Presently Whitman opened his eyes. He looked at his lounging robe and, wondered when he had put it on. Then he raised a slow hand to his jaw and carefully felt the bulging soreness of it. Next his eyes wandered about the room till they rested on his desk. Fright surged over him at sight of the Negro sitting, there. Never having known a Negro personally during his entire life he jumped to the conclusion that he was about to be robbed of what little he still possessed and probably murdered. All the news he had read about his dark countrymen in the papers had pointed to that conclusion. He made a sudden and ineffectual plunge to gain his feet, but falling weakly back only succeeded in knocking over the little table that held the basin and sponge. Howard turned from the desk to face the unexpected clatter. (To be continued next week) NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE pulpit at Bethel Bapt. Church.

Negro Slave Holders and Traders Dr. Carter the Associate Life and Ill published in February 23 chapter of "tury Ago." number of o to learn that share holding Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro life and History, in a recent release published in the Journal and Guide of February 23, gave us an interesting chapter of "Negro Aristocracy a Century Ago." We are sure a very great number of our readers were surprised to learn that we had ever had a Negro holding unrestraint in the United Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, in a recent release, published in the Journal and Guide of February 23, "gave us an interesting chapter of "Negro Aristocracy a Century Ago." We are sure a very great number of our readers were surprised to learn that we had ever had a Negro slave holding aristocracy in the United States, and that they numbered some 4,500 as late as 1830. It does not alter the fact that many of these Negro slaveholders acted from purely philanthropic motives, and the instances of this disposition stated by Dr. Woodson appeals to all that is best in us. But most of them were in the slave trade and exploitation of slave labor for the same reasons that their white neighbors were, and they would have continued in the business, in the States which allowed them to do so. down to the present time, if slavery had not been abolished. It is a matter of history that most of the slaves in this country were sold into slavery to white slave traders by native chiefs and black people of Africa, and that the slave trade would not have been as great and vile a traffic as it became but for the active participation in it of native black slave traders. Some of them are still doing business, and would never have abolished it themselves, and resented having abolition forced upon them by the white Christian sentiment of the world. It was only the other day that Abyssinia was allowed to become a member of the league of Nations on condition that the slave trade must be abolished in its territories. We have not been better than other people in the past and we are not better now. To be as good at other people in all that makes for Christian manhood and womanhood should be the aim of all of our strivings. We shall always fall down when we fall below the highest standards of living, judged by the best people in our community. There are only two courses in morals: The best leads to life and happiness while e are here as citizens, and the wo nds to death and unhappiness wh e yet live. we are here as citizens, and the worst leads to death and unhappiness while we yet live. Republican Cowards in the Senate Twice in the Administration of President Harding enough Republican Servitors were found to vote against the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen to controller of customs at New Orleans, because a Negro he was objectionable to the two Democratic Senators, to present confirmation. They call it "Serviary courtesy," but there is no "courtesy" about it which a Republican is bound to respect. When he does it he denies his Publicanism and outrages the oath he is office which binds him to an absence of the Constitution, which makes distinctions among citizens "on a count of race, color or previous condition of servitude." Now, enough Publicans in the Senate has been required to defeat confirmation by appointment of President Coolidge. The Publican Senators who have done the thing are not only party apostates, but bank cowards, and their constituents should keep them at home when they seek a reelection. The fact that President Coolidge was decided to allow Mr. Cohen to hear, without appointing his successor, and will give him a recess appointment, though he has and must serve with it pay, shows that the President's heart is in the right place. The Republican party, however, is all wrong for the race question, and it is to be hope that it will right itself at the Cleveland convention in the candidates it shall nominate and the platform it shall add to the issues of party life and death of end upon what they do at the Cleveland convention.

Still Waiting Unless something is done in the meantime by the city administration, comedy what is a distressing and heart-breaking situation, the colored people of Norfolk will go thru another season of scorching days and sultry nights without the much needed "breathing space"—a recreation center. City Park, so named because it is the property of the city and not because the city's population may enjoy the use of it, will be inviting to the more favored race group when the hot day comes, and will be restricted and segregated to one-third of the citizens who are also taxed to maintain the municipality. Strange it is that in this day of advanced public health education, when real progress is being made in effort to effect a closer co-operation and more amicable understanding between the white and colored people of the south, the city of Norfolk, still finds itself unable or unwilling to provide a decent approach to recreational facilities for its colored citizens. And the spite of the fact that municipal parish links an tennis courts for the white people are on the increase. The obvious unfairness of this situation as it affects one-third of the city's population does not engender a feel-conducive to the best interests of the community.

Mr. Evan R. Chesterman, chairme of the State Board of Film Censors, has issued a warning to colored motion pure houses to the effect that "Birth right," is unlicensed for exhibition in this State. "The film, objectionable many respects." says Mr. Chesterm may bear a forged censorship stance is the board of censors has not and w not approve the film for Virginia ex- tention." "Birthright" is a colored picture cooling with Negro life, the few who Mr. Evan R. Chesterman, chairman of the State Board of Film Censors, has issued a warning to colored motion picture houses to the effect that "Birthright." is unlicensed for exhibition in this State. "The film, objectionable in many respects." says Mr. Chesterman. "may bear a forged censorship stamp as the board of censors has not and will not approve the film for Virginia exhibition." "Birthright" is a colored picture dealing with Negro life, the few white characters being used to bring out certain conditions the film seeks to reveal. The production from the pen of Stribling, a white man, and filmed by Oscar Michaeux, a colored man, upon its first exhibition raised quite a protest among a large number of colored people because the truths depicted in some of its lines were nauseating to their finer sensibilities, and one particular feature contained what was considered degrading to the race. As the picture is shown in Virginia, much has been eliminated that gave cause for protest. "Birthright," however, does not contain the elements of class bitterness, race hatred and prejudice such as are Norfolk Journal and Guide bred by Thomas Dixon's "Birth of a Nation." This picture, banned in many states as the greatest hate producer ever filmed, enjoys untrammeled privileges to exhibit in Virginia, in spite of the mass of protests aimed at it by colored and many white people everywhere. "Birth of a Nation." purposely seeks to degrade a large element of American citizens and to keep alive the embers of race prejudice. "Birthright" seeks to bring to the attention of a race many of the unsavory influences that it must eliminate in its efforts to acquire a full growth as men and women. Just how the Board of Film Censors of Virginia happened to be able so to quickly perceive the alleged objectionable features in "Birthright," and have not yet discovered the strife and hate breeding lines in "Birth of a-Nation" lacks a reasonable explanation. We know of only three Afro-American aviators, one of them a woman, and we know of no such submarinist. We do not appear to take to flying in the air and swimming in the waters. When it comes to automobilists, that is another thing. We just naturally take to the modern Juggernauts. They are costly to get and costly to keep, but we get them and keep them, which shows that where we have the will we will make the way. Spirit of the Press From The Chicago Defender. "WHY FILL the front page of your newspaper with accounts of the baser things in life—murders, scandals, robberies, etc? Why not give this space to the chronicling of happenings that tend to better the human race?" These questions have been hurled at the management of most live, up-to-date newspapers throughout the country. There is but one answer: The reading public demands it. The proof is found in the ever-increasing circulation of the newspapers broadcasting the frailties of man and the dwindled circulation of the publications that have not kept apace with the times.

The case of Walter Cohen demonstrates that we need more Negroes connected with the Democratic party. It is stated that he was defeated by a vote of 37 to 35; and the report went out that no Democratic voted for him. Upon investigation it was learned that Mr. Cohen's friends who were anxious to put him over, did not seek any support from the Democratic Senators. They were so completely dived-in-the-wool Republican that the could not face a Democrat to ask him for his vote for Mr. Cohen. Such Democratic Senators as Bruce from Maryland, Nealy from West Virginia, Copeland from New York, Edwards from New Jersey, Bayard from Delaware and Ralston from Indiana are amenable to Negro influence, in fact owe their present positions largely to Negro voters; and if they were properly approached, they would almost certainly render a service in such cases as Cohen's. The vote for the Howard appropriations also brings to light the fact that we have some friends in the Democratic party. Time after time, on various points of order, against Howard University's items these Democratic supporters supported Howard. This is also true of the Farmer-Laborites, Socialists and Non-Parlison Leaguers. The time is far past when the color of a man's skin should reveal his politics. A black skin should not mean "Republican" and we are glad to say that it does not always and everywhere do so. The Negro is supposed to be free, and as a free moral agent he should think for himself; have his own opinion about education, religion, prohibition and politics. He should be a Socialist, a Democrat, a Farmer-Laborite or a Republican, according to his way of seeing the political and economical conditions of the country and their requirements. Briefs and Spices In the opinion of the lower house of Congress the Mellon tax reduction theory couldn't budget. The business of a moderat reformer becomes a matter of speculation when he turns a listening ear to the informer. A consistent advocate of the soldier bonus is called by the rich interests a financial scofflaw. The consensus of the press seems to be that we have among us many great leaders who did not learn to lead by being adept followers. It begins to look as if the trip to the North Pole by the Shemandah will never get under way. Recent developments in the air make such an undertaking hazardous even on foot. "Honest Burglar Pays Income Tax" says a headline. Here's a fellow who evidently doesn't mind doing his part in these strenuous times provided he is not advertised as a "rat." Question of etiquette arises in France relative to conducting social correspondence with the typewriter. It may not be good form to do so but there is always that assurance that she can at least read it. With everything taken into consideration, ten dollars a minute for broadcasting a campaign speech over radio is reasonable enough—provided the station assures a substantial listening in audience. A rheumatic of Spokane, Wash., is said to have cured himself of rheumatism by fasting twenty-six days. The non-interesting part of this is, there are any number of people who have had to fast this winter without a case of rheumatism to cure.

Just a week or two of waiting "Fill the birds burst forth in song And the farmers start the breaking Of the new ground left so long.

These are moments when the brewers Make you gambol, smile and sing For that care free feeling seizes: "We can look ahead to spring." The Whatnot Column BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.) 101. Who was Gen. Rufus Saxon? General Rufus Saxon was the first officer to receive official authority to enlist Negro soldiers On the 26th of August 1862, the Secretary of War ordered him to proceed to the Department of the South and organize troops of "African descent," which were to be designated for service in garrisons not in danger of attack by the enemy, to relieve white regiments whose terms of enlistment had expired. 102. Who was Carney of Wagner? When the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, under command of Col. Shaw, stormed Fort Wagner, the regimental colors were entrusted to W. H. Carney, a young sergeant. As this gallant regiment ascended the wall of the fort, the ranks were full, but as they reached the top, they melted away before the enemy's fire, almost instantly. Carney received a severe wound in the thigh, but falling upon his knees he quickly planted the flag upon the parapet, and laid down on the outer slope for shelter. Carney with a death grip on the flagstaff held it erect for over an hour and despite that he was later shot in the head, held on until he was relieved by another officer. When he was being carried past a brigade of his comrades, on the way to the field hospital, he partly raised up and cried, "Boys, the old flag never touched the ground." 103. What incident took place when the first New Orleans Colored regiment received its flags? The first Colored regiment raised in New Orleans; after remaining in camp for about six months were quite efficient in the use of arms. Saturday, March 8, 1924 ORGANIZED ENGLISH His commanding officer, Col. Stafford being disabled, they were placed upder command of Gen. Dwight. Before the officers left, the officers assembled, at the quarters of Col. Stafford, where the Colored guard marched up to receive the regimental flags. Col. Stafford made a speech full of patriotism and feeling and concluded by saying: "Colored guard, protect, defend, die for it, but do not surrender these flags." The reply of the sergeant was, "Colonel, I will bring back these colors to you in honor, or report to God the reason why."

POLITICAL POT BOILING WITH TEAPOT DOME OIL Special Correspondence Washington, D. C., March—(A. N. P.)—"The time has come for Republican leadership to stop acting on the defensive, and to begin aggressive warfare on political traducers, who sat silent while the greatest orgy of waste, incompetency and corruption that the world has ever witnessed took place in Washington under the Democratic administration. Thus closes a remarkable statement by Hona John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican National Committee. The chairman was speaking directly to the subject of Teapot Dome, and the frantic efforts of the "holier than thou Democrats to besmirch everything, everywhere Republican. Suiting action to the word, however, with reference to being aggressive, in another statement issued by Mr. Adams, speaking on the subject of the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen by the United States Senate, for the position of Comptroller of Customs, Mr. Adams said: "The position has been held by a Negro since Grant's administration, and I see no reason why a handful of Southern Senators should be permitted to dictate to the President the manner in which he shall dispose of his patronage." President Coolidge has determined to stick by the Cohen appointment. He has agreed with Mr. Adams in having the Louisiana remain on the job, without pay until Congress adjourns, and then will make a recess appointment. There is some difference of ORGANIZED I, Definition. II, Classification. III, Comparison. IV, Construction. V, Substitutes. I, Definition. An Adverb is a word that modifies, a verb, a verbal, an adjective, or another adverb. (See construction.) II, Classification: a, Form. b, Meaning. c, Use. a, Form: 1, Simple,—here, now, where. 2, derivative,—clearly, truthfully. 3, Compound,—sometimes everywhere. 4, Phrasal,—in vain, at once, arm-in-arm. b, Meaning: 1, Manner,—bravely, truly well. 2, Time,—now, then, hereafter. 3, Place,—here, below, anywhere. 4, Degree,—very, almost entirely. 5. Number,—once, first, secondly. 6. Cause,—why, therefore. 7. Assertion,—surely, probably, perhaps. c. Use: 1. Limiting, modifying only,—This plant grows "rapidly." 2. Interrogative, modifying and interrogating, --- "where" do you work? 3. Conjunctive, modifying and connecting a subordinate clause. a. Adverbial — conjunctive, — modifying a verb in an adverbial clause, and connecting that clause with a word which the clause modifies, — You may sit "where" you can hear. where modifies the verb phrase "can hear", and connects the modifying clause "where you can hear" with the modified verb phrase "may sit." b. Substantive; conjunctive, modifying a verb in substantive clause, and connecting that clause with other part of the sentence. — Do you know "where" Julia went, "where" modifies the verb went, while --- opinion as to this being the best method, but there is unanimous approval of the President and Mr. Adams not "throwing us the sponge" in the matter of appointing an American citizen to a government position in the South solely on the ground of his racial identity. High-minded American citizens realize that a "House divided against itself cannot stand," and that this nation, even as in the days of Abraham Lincoln, cannot long survive "half slave and half free," whether that bondage be civil political or otherwise. The spectacle of 12,000,000 Americans being so distasteful to a few illegally elected Senators that these illegitimate lawmakers can overcome the desires of the majority, sets like an eternal nightmare on the mind of racial citizens. There are those here who are asking: 'Where are those GOOD Democrats of the North who do not see as the Democrats of the South?' When Cohen's name was being voted on, where was Copeland of New York; Walsh of Massachusetts and Bruce of Maryland? Their colored constitutents of these states will be compelled to answer. "The only good Democrat is a dead one," said one "Leading Light." Colored America is not in Teapot Dome. It is a wonder that somewhere there hasn't been some kind of connection. But in all the testimony thus far brought out, there has not been even a messenger, chauffeur, clerk or confident. That seems passing strange. This much can be said of the former Secretary Fall, however: When he was Secretary of Interior, one of his trusted employees was Lieut. Flipper, and Mr. Fall refused to permit color prejudice militate against Flipper's position. On one occasion an effort was made to ridicule Flipper, and Mr. Fall stated that he had a desk large enough to hold the resignation of all those who did not care to work with Flipper. It is a well known fact that the Department of Justice under Attorney General Daugherty, has made more substantial and dignified appointments under this administration than any other department of the Government. Racial citizens throughout the country are agreed that political opportunity will come stronger with political righteousness, the group has always been one of great faith —faith in God, if you please—and the history of the nation proves conclusively that "Government of the people, by the people and for the people" does not go far wrong when activities are based on righteousness and principles of justice. ENGLISH connecting the substantive clause "where Julia went" as the object complement of the verb phrase "do know". d.

The animals came "to get salt". 5. Prepositional phrase.—Do not stand "in the door". 6. Clause.—The baby crawls "because he cannot walk". Health And Industry The labor market of the North efficient to the highest degree insists upon a full value for the wages paid and takes very definite steps to prevent the high cost of frequent turn over. The laborer finding the cost of living higher than in the South recognizes that he must work six days in a week, rather than the two or three which before had satisfied his wants. These two factors coupled together are hiring out the best of both and a kindier understanding between them with the result that each is winning. In order to prevent the costly turn over of labor, large business has learned that the health and happiness of the toiler are the two most important factors to reckon with. To that end each laborer undergoes a careful physical examination before he is employed and every effort is made to keep his health standard at par by his employers. Physicians, social workers and recreation directors are constantly on the job in all the larger work shops, and each has his specific duties mapped out. Experience has taught that health, happiness and efficiency are very closely related, and we can all learn much from big business as to how every man can live more and best. Of course this was all a new thing to the Negro migrant when he found himself recognized as a human being in whom his employer took a human interest. His response has been most wholesome and satisfying to all concerned, and there is every reason to hope and believe he has made for himself a lasting place in the labor market of the North. He is learning the lessons of thrift, health and cooperation, and applying them far more wisely than many of our race from whom we would naturally expect more. Such is the basis of the "making good" of the migrant aand the sooner our whole race can catch this laudible spirit and apply it in the matter of race making.
