Bernard Young, Jr. Hampton Institute has been awarded the basketball championship of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The award was not a surprise, however. For any one who has seen Hampton play this year is convinced that the "Seasiders" formed the most formidable team in the association or in the country for that matter. It is generally believed that a Hampton could have beaten Morehouse. Just a little different opening of the second half could have cinched the victory. But bygones are bygones. Everybody is satisfied with the award and offers Hampton every congratulation. She was very successfully led by Captain Langston this year and indications point to perhaps an even greater team next year under Chester Jones, recently elected captain for next year. Firpo's Temperament? The announcement of Luis Firpo's intention of retiring from the ring was received with surprise all over the country, particularly in view of the fact that his declaration comes at a time whe n he was to be piloted into a fortune in American dollars. After his departure from this country following his bout with Dempsey, it was Firpo's announced intention to return this year and make another effort to gain the crown. He professed being convinced that he was Dempsey's master. Obviously something has happened to Firpo to upset this temperament to an extent where he could discard his previous intention for this latest one to retire. Country Demands He Meet Wills. It has been widely expressed that the probability of a fight with Wills was the cause. The country now is demanding a bout between Wills and Dempsey, or at least an elimination bout between Wills and Firpo. In this event it is very probable that the "Brown Panther would fight Dempsey. We are inclined to think that the yellow streak is stronger than the call of the clinkers. At least it is a chance for Wills to fight Dempsey. But even that chance is lessened by the fact that Dempsey has been offered a million dollar contract for a movie and since Dempsey and his manager seem to use the title for a money making machine it is probable that Wills will be further put off. How About Back Years' Record? This statement by a well known writer recently caught our eyes "With the exception of Hampton and probably Morehouse, we doubt if there is another institution that can furnish athletic records of a few years back." If that is so then stops should be taken to remedy the condition. It is so that Hampton can show records of practically every athletic event that she has had, and it is probably so with Morehouse Howard has formed a club, one of whose intentions is to preserve records of such events. That is perhaps the most important concrete thing it can do. It is unbelievable that such a condition can exist. Clippings of reports of athletic events should be kept by every high school and college in the country. There is certainly to be a use for them some day. Newspapers are valuable in that they make it easy in keeping the records. Going Strong Columbia University evidently thinks a lot of the skill of Negro teams. The Brooklyn Royal Giants have and are being used every year to practice Columbia's baseball nine. It is easy to believe that Columbia profits by the competition of such a team. The coach no doubt is looking for the best he can get for training purposes, and we believe he has it. Charles Hussey, high school dash champion, is one of the two main-stays of the Stuyvesant High School track team to New York City. Hussey consistently runs off the hundred within a fraction of a second of the record. He is another one of the Olympic possibilities. All of the spring sports are opening up, full blast now and in a few weeks will be holding all of the limelight. Baseball, track, tennis and the others show signs of great seasons, in some places. In others a boosting will be in order. "Big John" Levi, a student of Haskell Institute is rapidly coming to the front. Jim Thorpe classes him as one of the greatest all-round athletes that has ever lived. Levi and West will fight it out in the Penn Relays for the penthalon title this year. It will be a great fight. C. I. A. A. Speeds Un-Football Rules. Seconds mean much in football, and in its annual session held recently, the National Collegiate Football Rules Committee changed and added to the code of the gridiron in order to eliminate all unnecessary loss of time. Speeding up the play and encouraging teams to use a running or passing attack in order to secure the additional point after touchdown are the main objectives of the body, if one is to judge by the rules which have been adopted for 1924. There seems to be few lines of improvement along other lines is the general opinion. Four rules have been adopted that are distinct. They are the rule to abolish kicking the ball from a tee on kickoffs and on placement kicks. Kickoffs will be from the center of the field. Another is the increased penalty, from two to five yards, against a team taking timeout more than three times in one half. A third is the power to have the referee order time out if a team appears to be stalling, and a fourth is to give the power to the referee to refuse a team time out when substitutes are rushed in to delay the game or other means. These changes will be discussed next week. KOLLEGE KID SAYS-- MAH JONG "Perhaps its a game; I don't say not; For friend that I to play it a lot. And they seem to attack it with a heathenish glee That wall building game of the heathen Chinee. But I'll swear I grow weary and pallid of brow, awaiting the time that permits me to "show": ```markdown ``` And I don't see much sport sit- ting all night thru. Building my hopes on the seven bamboo. 'A good game! A great game; its patrons declare; But I've not discovered the thrills that's there. I've played, I've watched it, I've studied it over— Paid East wind his double and doubted his score. Paid West wind his trifle and South wind his fee And never been sure what was coming to me. The Chinese may like it, but I'm no Wung 00— I can't sit and wait for the seven bamboo. Pedro and cucre and bridge whist and rhum. Cribbage and hearts I will play as the come; Any old game that you fancy I will try. But love for the Chinaman's sport I deny. Perhaps I'm too old or perhaps I'm too young. But I can't sit, all night waiting chances to "pung" And I haven't the patience of Minister Wu. With that tedious wait for the seven bamboo." Now thems my sentiments of this here Chineese game, Maw Junk. If them slant eyed ginks want to go head and make walls around themselves, let me go ahead and do it, but I'm telling the cock-eyed world, Iaint. Course the wiff wants me to go an learn it so's we can be in society, but that aint neither here nor thars' nor anywhares else. I can go and learn it if I wants to, but I dont want to. I cannot go an laundry tickits, the old Chink sez. No tickee no washee, an you no how I feels then. I could grab him an hole 'im till the old walls round Chinatown falls down. Now if I wanta too go in the laundry business, I will go head an learn this here game, cause then I will learn how to read that thare stuff. But now since I don't want go in that kind of business, I think it is the most extravaganzan that ever jumped out of a Chineese laundry bag. Now when it cums down to playing poker, you're talking like you got sum sents. When you say I pass, I open, I drop or gimme two cards, I no what to do an say, but when it cums down to "panging" "chowing" and such lik, you've gone 'yound my realm of gramatical komprehension. Sum folks sez that we all will git whats for us, but I sez that we wont git any more than ah ole in the groun when we turn our ten toes up to the son, cause we don't git any more that we work for. Now when I was in Kollege, had a repetition for making deep saying like them I jase said. From time to time I will give you all sum of my Filosophy. If you want preserve order in the house. Kan the ruff stuff. If Irving C. Miller and his "Liza" company had some off time which they desired to fill in in Norfolk before jumping to the next town they would have made a much butter guess if they had continued to present "Liza" than the first three days this week instead of presenting the "Shelik of Harlem." No doubt the box office receipts would have told a different story. "The Shelik of Harlem," which was presented in its initial showing before being taken to New York proved to be as good as a dud. There is not the least doubt that the players got this force together from Saturday to Monday night, and in their haste, a number of loose ends hanging on.

THE BASEBALL TEAM of psuedo-comedy was a here, in fact there was in the production neither story or plot with life enough in them to afford the actors any thing near the opportunity to measure up to their best. The musical cast with Ethel Kidley starring, did very well, and it is good that it did, otherwise the "Snick of Harlem" would have certainly proved a disgust instead of an entertainment. The singing and dancing and the gorgeous costumes were a welcome relief from what was meant to be the funny stuff and Mr. Miller himself as the Sheik alided greatly in keeping the audience awake. The actors did as best they could, however, with the material they had to work, as it was always plainly evident that they, their costumes and scenery, all of the very first order, were being shaped into an exceedingly poor play, and good actors are seldom good with a poor plot.

Johnson's pill sluggers are showing good form on the diamond. The kinks are being knocked out fast by the daily workouts held at the 18th Street Field. All of the candidates are full of peep and enthusiasm. Competition for all berths will prove to be as keen as a two head sword. The squad of youngsters is approximately 20 strong, with prospects of this number swelled before the season is well underway. Conch Wilson is directing the destinies of all of the school teams and declares that all positions for the nine are open and all aspirants will have to work hard to secure one. He further states there is no such thing except as any player having continued demonstration of superior quality can these positions be retained. Competition for infield positions is not as great as that of the outfield. There is only one, so far for the initial bag. Two for the ho corner, two for backstops, and the rest of the contenders are equally divided, with the rest for outer garden positions. Wilson is getting the team in shape to meet the strong Lincoln University nine April 12, in Norfolk. The players that have appeared on deck during the week are Williams and Johnson, pieters; John Williams and Coble, Einot, corner men; Tynes, second base; Whitfield and Wyatt, shortstops; Carter and Taylor, backstops; Themas, first base; Boyd, Cornjicks, Diggs and Ross, outfielders.

Everything possible will be done between now and opening day to make the park more attractive and inviting than ever. several teams in the C. I. A. A. this spring. At the last meeting of the Association it was decided that a team would have to play eight association games before it could be considered for championship honors. Because of that fact Hampton has arranged a schedule of eight or ten games.

No one will be allowed to play without the proper equipment. Fans owe it to the enthusiastic bunch of athletes, for providing some form of summer sport. All of the games played, will be in the open.

One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wondrous results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my salicyl complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with breath. For pimples and other skin blisters, it has no equal.

SUNDAY APRIL 6TH, 1924 THE KINGDOM RENT ASUNDER I Kings 12:11 16:28 Golden Text—Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall—Prow. 16:18. L Rehobocam Answers The People Roughly. King 12:12-15. In an interview with the Czar of Russia Bismark was outlining his plan for the future when the Czar interrupted him saying, "Yes, I agree with you, but are you quite sure that you will remain in office?" "Certainly, your Majesty," Prince Bismark replied. "I am absolutely sure that while I live I shall remain 'Minister.'" PETER B. Under the leadership of Jereboam, the people came to Reboam and entrained him to be more humane and just in his governing of them. Reboam consulted both his old and young counsellors; at the expiration of three days, the king answered the people on this wise, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with the whip, but I will chastise you with the scorpions." This was the advice given to the king by his young counsellor. "Kind and conciliatory words, as they said, have bound the people to be his servants forever. What golden advice that was, serve and you will be served, Minister and you will never lack ministry. With what you meet, it shall be measured to you again." (F. B. Meyer.) H Israel Rebells Against The House of David H King 16:19 "We would be the last to find fault with them, since the state of affairs was much what it was in the Colonies when our forefathers came together in Independence Hall and drew up a notable protest, beginning, "When in the course of human events is becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another"—Rey, David James Burrel, D. D. "The king's rough answer to a reasonable request promoted the rebellion. Reboobam refused to retaken and the people, the tribes, the Judah excluded no longer had any inheritance in David. Self-respect and self-preservation demanded that they chose the lesser evil rebellion. Then was the kingdom sent asunder as God said it would. "The revolt of the ten tribes could have been easily avoided. Jeerboam sought constitutional means before he had recourse to direct action, and if Jeerboam had followed the counsel of "his citizens, and not the swagmen, they would have kept the tribes united. But in almost all critical moments of history there has been a fool at hand to light a match and fingle into the gunpowder barrel."—(Phillips). III Jereboam Chosen To Be King of the Ten Tribes Vs. 20. Yerebohem was a shrewd, capable, ambitious man. He was an Ephramite who had risen in the services of Solomon till he attracted the notice of the king and was assigned the important position of superintending the relays of labor furnished by the tribes of Ephrim and Massachus on the arm and no doubt had high aspirations.

After Jereboam returned from his forced exile in Egypt, the revolted tribes made him their king and established the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Jereboam Kingdom begun by Jereboam, lasted two and a half centuries. Nineteen kings regained during this time, there were nine changes of dynasty, a history of revolution and discord. Every one of these kings was a wicked man. The most prominent were Jereboam, Ahad, Jebu and Pkah, their reigns insisted the history of Israel. It is a story of their attendant evils introduced by Jereboam, intensified by Ahad, checked somewhat under Jebu thru the influence of the prophets, and finally brought about the destruction of the kingdom." A truly wise man profits by the mistakes of other men as well as of his own. Jesus Christ is the safest counsellor that any man can follow. The most powerful agency for good or evil in the world is an organized people. Some people's idea of good advice is that what they have already planned to do. When are revolts, strikes and revolutions, justifiable? The early morning prayer meeting is getting better each Sunday, at 11:30 A. M., Dr. Roberts of John M. Brown A. M. E. Church along with his choir worshiped here while our pastor and choir worshipped at John Brown A. M. E. Church, Dr. Roberts preached a wonderful sermon. His choir rendered some very sweet music in the afternoon, Rev. Bardall, of Trinity Baptist Church, preached a good sermon for the Missionary Circle of this church. The pastor preached a special sermon to the young from Palme 119; it was full of good, wholesome words. Next Sunday the pastor will preach in the morning Covenant meeting at 3:00 P. M. and Holy Communion at night. Revival will begin Wednesday night, April 9th. Rev. A. A. Hudgens, of Newport News, Va, will be in charge. EASTERN STAR CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. J. Jackson preached at both services last Sunday, Rev. Haile the pastor, returned Monday morning from Kinston, N.C., where he attended the annual union of the Goldsboro and Raleigh Districts. The congregation declined to accept the resignation tendered by Rev. Haile recently, but made arrangements to make this charge more attractive for him. He will occupy his pulpit Sunday morning N.T. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH (Lindenwood) Ethanism is running high in Mt. Olive and previous records pale into insignificance in comparison with the attendance and offerings of the present administration. Being awakened to the necessity of having in this section a church truly representative of the community, the catre neighborhood has taken special interest in the work of this congregational and whole heartedly supporting every program. At 11:30, the pastor preached from John 6:68 and showed how Christ is in the only one who is able to lift mankind above circumstance. DEAN BRIGGS' TALKS ON THE RELIGIOUS LIFE We must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day, the night cometh, when no man can work.—John, 9:1. "Any man who desire the office of a bishop, he desires a good work." Some requisites of the breacher are: vigilance, soberness good behavior, hospitality, and aptness to teach. The ministry is losing its power some affirm. The church has no rightful place in the world there are too many misfits in the ministry. Some seem to be in ministry for what they can get out of it, others to be popular, other because they think a preacher's life is easy. The preacher of today must be a man; called like Isaiah, like John Baptist; and he should feel the consciousness and dignity of his call. Ministers who use tobacco, hang ground barber shops, and are too friendly with the females of their churches, eventually lose the respect and confidence of the community. When the preacher's misdecease dies, he might as well be dead; a salt has lost its savar, henceforth for nothing, out to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men. The Herald of the Cross must have a zeal, a consuming zeal for righteousness and for the service of God. He must say like Paul, Woo is me, if I preach not the gospel. lessly both by precept and example. Emerson says, "What you are speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say." Every effective and successful minister must first know they gospel experimentally. BRICGSOGRANS MT. LEBANON BAPTIST in and death. At the evening service the pastor preached another wonderful sermon which interested all present. At both services he was greeted by an audience that illied the main floor. The Sunday school and B. P. Y. U. are still or be upward trend. The afternoon services were given over to the dissension Circle, at which time tev. Fuller preached a practical sermon on "Sluggards". Rev. J. B. Henderson of Union University, filled the pulpit of the Bank Street Church last Sunday morning. Rev. Henderson preached in the subject: Through Doubt To Greater Faith. The speaker's presentation of the subject was virtual throughout, clear, convincing to his audience enriched by historical and scientific allusions. The sermon left no avenue of escape from the fact that "Doubt" is one of the most important factors in the progress of human thought, education, and of all development. Rev. C. M. Long, who has been filling an engagement in one of the prominent churches in Boston for the past two weeks will fill the pulpit the first Sunday in April. Dr. S. Benson before the hour gave an interesting talk on the meaning and the importance of health week to the community in general. Bank Street Church extends a most cordial welcome to visitors and friends in the city. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The large congregation in attendance last Sunday morning were given an excellent message by the pastor from the text "Delight thy self also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart," Ps. 37: 4. In the evening, Rev Bowling delivered a special sermon from the subject, "The Devil's Gospel," certain questions affecting the minds of modern christians were freely discussed on the floor before the sermon. GRACE P. E. CHURCH There was a large attendance at the Sunday school Sunday morning. At the morning service the Rev. B. W. Harris, of Warrenton, N. C., preached an excellent sermon. He was introduced by Rev. Mitchell, retired of Portsmouth. The choir rendered splendid music. In this evening a large number were present and Rev. Harris preached an instructive and inspiring sermon. Rev. Harris has been called to the rectorship of Grace Church and expects to reach some consideration during the present week. He made a very favorable impression upon the members, and friends and it is hoped that he will see fit to accept the call. On Thursday evening, April 11 at eight o'clock, Rev. H. Holmes, of the Holy Communion services, Sunday April 6th, the Holy Communion will be administered. Sunday, the Holy Communion will be administered at the morning hour, and the pastor will say his farewell word at the evening hour. A busy day is anticipated all day, as this is the last Sunday of the Conference year, and the officers and leaders are bending every effort to close the year up in a fitting manner. Last Sunday, the services were good and well attended. The Choir under Prof. Foster is making good and defending the marriage with their celestial renditions. The A. C. E. League is doing sucerly, especially the intermediates under the leadership of Mrs. M. C. Young, who has taken hold --- and historically; secondly, live the gospel, thirdly, preach the gospel. Untold harm has been done the progress of the church on the account of the incompetence and unfaithfulness of some of the clergy. We must right about face; we should look at facts like men not pigmies. The age demands and the church needs a trained, cleaned consecrated ministry. It is just as necessary (if not more) that the preacher be well prepared to the physician, the lawyer, the businessman to be educated to do the work for his vocation. It is very strange that not a few people seem to think that the preacher is qualified to preach with little or no preparation. Not long ago a pastor of a prominent white church in a northern town was dismissed because he was not a good mixer (as the congregation expressed it.) He was not sociable. Some well-trained men, so far as education is concerned, and people on their (the people's) level, you must touch them, and impress them that you are interested in their struggles and sacrifices and achievements. Many of our churches today are being actually preached to death. If not a decrease of preachers, let us have an increase of pastors. My professor of Homilies, who was a Scotchman, once said that some teachers of today were like the collectors and not like the shop-hard dog, the shop-hard now and then with pretty pieces of ribbon tied around his neck riding on the back seat of a high prized automobile. The Great Commission says: "Go disciples and teach all nations." We are urgently in need of more pastors in consecrated; shepherding pastors in the today when we will lead us into the world of truth and life, and holiness. BANK STREET W. J. Scott ST.

Every member is a committee to hunt up and bring delinquent and absences. The public and friends in general are cordially invited to any and all of the services. "Jews And Salvation" Rev. Bowling's Topic For Sunday Night "Will the Jew be saved without accepting Christ?" will be the subject of Rev. Richard II, Bowling's german at the First Baptist Church this Sunday night at 7:30. He says that he will discuss this topic in answer to number of inquiries that have come to him both in personal conversation and thus his "Burning Question Box" at the church ever since the recent appearance of a distinguished wish Rebbi of our churches. Other live questions that will be brought up for discussion in the ten minute forum will be such as the following. Are Baptist right in order to obtain women to breach? What is the meaning of the word "Race" in Matthew 5:22? How was the cedar for Solomon's Temple brought from Lebanon to Jerusalem? These forums held each Sunday night at the First Baptist Church have proved to be very interesting. Although there sometimes develops a strong difference between the feeling and everyone seems to have enjoyed having had a chance to take a part in discussing the questions proposed. Presbyterians Change Location The congregation of Bethany Presbyterian Church hiterto worshiping at Church St. and Johnson Ave., having recently come into possession of the former Faith Pentecostal Church building on Princess Anne Avenue, near Church St., will occupy the same Sunday, April 6. The Sacrament of the Lord's Sawyer will me solenized at the morning services, jointly with the W. Mumlen Presbyterian Church and other Christian regardless of denominational affiliations. An afternoon service will be held for the purpose of ordaining a deacon, Mr. W. O. Lomax, Deacons and corresponding officials of all denominations are invited to participate in the ceremonies. The pastor, Rev. H. C. Miller, is planning an Occupation Observance running through a series of sermons, of which the public will be duly notified. Says The Devil's Is A Gum-Shoed And Easier Gospel "Ye shall not surley die' is the text of the Devil's Gospel," declared Rev. Richard H. Bewling in a sermon last Sunday night on "The Devil's Gospel." Continuing he said that the Devil in enacting men to take a chance on disheying God is always declaring that there is no death for sin. He tells the 'good news' of there being no penalty for any kind of wrongdoin g. He says that sin against the body will some have no overcome, that obedience will be a length of days anyhow. This, if course, makes a man feel free to do as he pleases in eating and drinking, in physical exertion, and indulgence of his passions. Devil's Good-news "Another point made by the Devil in preaching from his favorite text is that sin against the soul will not really degrade one's character. He would have us believe that moral evil is a relative term, that laws make or break character are merely a matter of social adjustment. A man is none the worse whatever he does, so long as he can keep from getting caught. Duplicity and deception don't do you any harm, if you are smart enough to get away with Devil's Helpers "But you will note," said the speaker, "there are some tell-tale weakness about the Devil's gospel for one thing, it is preached by an unreliable preacher. He is an adversary, an enemy, a deceiver, a destroyer. To top it all, Jesus says. He was a murderer from the be-(Continued on Page 11) CALLED TO A WASHINGTON CHARGE Rev. J. D.

Archdeacon Russell, of the Law- renceville Normal and Industrial School, and who has spent forty-two years in the ministry, is one of the grand men of the race. His life of intelligent and de- voted service is notable and praisewor- thy from every viewpoint. Gentle and unobtrusive, kindly and helpful always, none know him but to love him. “+ William H. A. Moore was a writer of good verse in New York many year's ago, before he moved to Chicago, and we are not surprised to learn that an edition de luxe of a poem by him called, “The Lay of the Purple Grape,” is soon to be issued by the Pascal Covici Company. He sings in glorification of women and wine. The claim he makes to be of a “lineage unclouded by white blood is an astounding fiction. He is a high brown and a natural born joker and jes- ter, and he knows it. So do we. For the first time in its history Li- beria, West Africa, settled by American Negroes, has a native as Vice President. His name is H. Too Wesley, which sounds very English to us. As we un- derstand it, the American rulers of Li- beria have not in times past, given the natives the consideration in the develop- ment of the country to which they were entitled, and which would have been best for the American colonists. who have had hard going from beginning, If they have changed front towards the natives, they ave much to he congratu- Jated, and we shall have more hope for the future of the country than we have heretofore. Trials and Triumphs of a Pullman Porter There has been unusual interest in the case of Mr. J. B. Ford of New York, a’Pullman Car Porter, doing service on the Winsted Express, a “Down East” train on which many New England schoolmen travel. He has been in the service twelve years. He attracted the attention of Prof. Malcolm Keir of Dart- mouth College, at Hanover, N. H., in the course of his work as a porter, by his knowledge of his own business and thal of transportation, the Professor having a class in Transportation, and he invited Mr. Ford to lecture to his class. The newspaper reports of Wednesday last say that Mr. Ford acquitted himself splendidly in his Tuesday appearance before the class, “the lively humor of his race carrying him through and win- ming the audience.” John Baptist Ford was eighteen yars old before an opportunity to get an education presented itself; he promp- tly made the most of it, working his way through as so many of our men have done and do. Mr. Ford gave the Pullman service credit foraiding a great imany of our group to secure an educa- tion, and we know that to be true. It does not detract any from the company that it gave so many of our men an opportunity to secure an education with- out intending to do so; but it is to the infinite credit of the employees of the company that they gave adequate ser- vice to secure collegiate and profession- al,education which they are making the most of in all parts of the country. + It is well known to some of us that one of the best and most sympathetic and: helpful friends the race ever had was George M. Pullman, the grand old man who invented and controlled the Pullman Palace Car Company and its subsidiaries. He was always deeply in- | terested in the welfare of his Negro em- ployeés, being personally a friend to| nany of them, and some of them he re- | jnembered in his will, one of whom, Ar- | chur Wells, was regarded as a friend not only to Mr. Pullman but of his wife and children, wham he had oversight of in all their much travelling in all parts of the country. John Baptist Ford, 2 Pullman Car porter, is‘a credit to his race. as are, many others in the same service, and others still who were once in it and graduated out of it into other work. Native Africans No Longer Regard White People as “Gods” | Once upon a time the Indians of iNorth America regarded the Europeans ‘who invaded their country as super- ‘people and gave them their entire confi- ‘dence. It was not until the invaders ‘showed the Red Man that the White ‘Man is also human, with an irresistible disposition to “covet his neighbors’ (es and cattle and wives,” and other ‘things that are his neighbors, which he /may desire, and will take these by | subtlety or force, it necessary, that the Bed Man became the enemy of the White Man, and is still his enemy, be- cause the Indian does not forget nor forgive such injury as the White Man visited upon him, and the Red Man was and is in the right. Not long ago General 5an Christian Smuts, the Premier of the Union of South Africa, and one of the strongest men in the British Commonwealth of Nations, in addressing a meeting at Johannesburg, the capital, upon the oc- casion of a visit by a deputation of the London Missionary Society, said many Ithings informing and worth remember- jing. among them the following: “For igenerations we were looked upon as 'gods by the Natives. Unfortunately ithat is not the position any longer; we ‘are not looked upon as gods any more.” ‘The Native thought has been educated 'to the other extreme. “There are many ‘natives nowadays who look upon. the ‘white men as enemies to be destroyed; ‘who look upon the Christian religion as the white man's religion—to go and be destroyed with him: therefure, there ‘are tendencies springing up in our day aw hich are very dangerous for the de- ‘velopment of true mission ideas in | Africa.” | The Native.African is not respon- isible for Lhe change, any more than the Indians of North America were; the white man is responsible. He has rob- ‘bed the Native of their land and ex- ‘cluded them from any fair consideration lin Church or State. making virtual la- bor slaves of them; and now that the | Natives are beginning to distrust White Man rule and to protest against it, Gen- cral ‘Smuts and his sort. see that there is danger ahead which threatens white rule in Africa, and they are sounding the alarm, but we think too late to avert the catastrophe that is coming.

A pullman porter lectured before a class of 100 students at Dartmouth college recent- ly. Our guess is, his lecture stressed com- mon courtesy and the information that al! por- ters are nat named “George.” ‘The disadvantage in being a small man in a bigg party is when everything and everyhedy has been investigated, the small man can’t look back and say with a clear conscience “1 was done in oil.” Congress has discovered that Mr. Sinclair is rather inclined to be reticent when it comes to investigating his private affairs, AL this point in the game, whether oil smoaths the troubled waters remains to be seen, THE SUBTERFUGE 1 envy tnnch the robin’s song AAs from the Southland he returns; “He hus no friends to do him wrong No startling seandal ‘vound hint burns; His is a life of sweet refrain Without a worry ar a eare, And he'd be foatish to complain Instead Uf singing praises rave. ‘The robin hax no bills to pay No enrly morning huwrs to male, He has no friends whe exuse dismay Recause of liberties they take: If 1 were free of worldly care I too would sing my songs of praise, While waiting for mankind: to share With me the seeds and fruits they raise Spirit of the Press ic caine 'The Oil Seandal From The AfraAmerican (Taitimere, Mat | More aint) more as the amazing revelations fof graft corrupt connivance and looting: of ‘public property reach the surface, the more you realize thal they are just chickens com- ing home to roust. No doubt some of the men caught in the meshes ave at henrt innucent, but they and the thousands of bystanders who will suffer from this mess are Lhe victims ofa national spirit of law desecration, eX- ploitation of human beings, and geneval in- justice tolerated by our administrative ma- chinery. We have always had corruption in polities but for the most part it has come from polil- Hieal huckster of different sort. ‘This time it has reached the highest places and stained some of the most illustrious American names. The Government cannot point fingers at a few malefactors or prosecute a few crooks and lot the matter rest there. TL is the deep sent- ed spirit that has long been cating at the vitals of this nation that must be raated up. For years the Government has virtinally winked at certain types of law breaking and corruption as long as the victims were defenseless colored men and women. + | We have had a eivil service system honest ‘upon the Taw records, but administered with gross injustice to the Negro, Public funds have keen juggled and administered so as to ‘rob 10,000,000 colored citizens of their just share of advantages, and now like the Ku Klux Klan that started out solely to prosecute Ne- crocs, cancer is eating at the heart af the very government itself.

So obvious are these qualifications, and so deeply impressed was he with them that an En- glish traveller and writer recently declared that the racial adjustments of this city were the best to be found in the entire South.
