XXIV No. 19 LAD Young Wh Of South S Decline of R ays Young People Are Beginning To Realize That Hatred Based On Color Is Entirely Unnecessary. ITERANCES BESPEAK CHANGED ATTITUDE New York, N. Y., May 7 Miss Elizabeth Webb, of Brenau College, Gainsville Ga., in addressing the eighth biennial convention of Young Women's Christian Association in session here this week declared student meetings in the South are rapidly dissipating race prejudice against the Negro. "Young people in the South are beginning to realize that hatred for people just because they are black is unnecessary and un-Christian like," Miss Webb said. Mike Webb's statement is in line with the movement now being given widespread publicity, by the women of the 'Interracialmissions in the various cities of the South'. These women on numerous occasions have been outspoken in their condemnation of prejudice based on the color of individuals. In the past five years they have carried this doctrine into practically every southern state, and even though there has been no phenomenal reflection of a change in the attitude of the South toward the Negro, it has been promoted enough to be easily dissemble by any who rare to give the problem the most superficial study. it is confidently felt by all con- firmed in the welfare of the South that the curse of race prejudice is now being attacked by a force which it cannot possibly survive; the Christian attitude of America's young white women. AND CONCERTS ATTRACT CROWDS AND CONCERTS ATTRACT CROWDS Hundreds Of White And Colored People Gather Around To Hear The Excelsior The leading feature among the colored people of the city in National Music Week observance have been the concerts at the Courtside Band. Hundreds have crowded near the band stand and stood in line on the sidewalks and listened to the superb music rendered by this musical aggregation. Many white people availed themselves of the opportunity to hear the hand they have heard so much talked about. Automobiles of the finest make lined the curb, which enriched the fact that some of the city's most prominent citizens have come up to hear the Excelsior. As usual the band conducted it itself in the most creditable manner and rendered that kind of enjoyable music which it is capable of rendering. Many outspoken comments on the concerts were heard by people who are in a position to criticise music. The Excelsior is scheduled to render its last concert on Saturday night. Roller-Skates And Go-Cycles Off Streets Passing its first reading at the Tuesday afternoon session of City Council the ordinance prohibiting roller skating on certain streets is in a fair way of becoming law.

COMING TO U.S. TO URGE CIVIL GOVERNMENT Virgin Islands Delegation Will Go To Washington To Get Behind the McLean Bill In Senate And House. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP FOR NATIVES WANTED New York, N. Y., May 7—A delegation from the Virgin Islands will leave shortly for Washington to appear before the Senate and the House of Representatives in behalf of the McLean Bill granting the Islands a permanent form of civil government, according to information received by the American Civil Liberties Union today. The delegation, consisting of Arthur Bryan, Halvor Berg, Ralph Bough and O. C. Granady, were chosen at a conference in St. Thomas on April 19th, following mass demonstrations repudiating the resolution of the Joint Colonial Councils against the McLean Bill. Popular indignation against the action of the Joint Councils is based on the ground that they represent "an infinitesimal minority of the population," the report to the Civil Liberties-Union declares, "since only 852 out of the 20,000 inhabitants of the Virgin Islands have the right to vote." INFLUENTIAL JOURNAL JOINS PROTEST The St. Criso Tribune, which hitherto has supported the present rule by the Navy Department, has joined the movement in favor of a civil government. Mass meetings condemning the Joint Councils' resolution and urging Congress to pass the McLean Bill have been held in St. Thomas, Fredericksted, and Christiansted. Popular sentiment is "overwhelmingly in favor of supplanting the present quasi military government by a morale American and democratic form,"hoo the report to the Civil Libertie the Union states. Senator McLean's measure predicts vides for a bill of rights similar to the one in force in Porto Rico the and grants American citizenship The to native Virgin Islanders in the thes Islands and in the United States to The bill also provides for a civich form of government recommendable by Secretary of the Navy Darelels, which is a simplified version of the Porto Rico government, ye leaves the President powers similar to those he exercises in the Philippines. A new organic act for the Islands has also been recommende by the federal commission to the Virgin Islands in its recent report to the U. S. Department of Labor Paul Robeson Succeeds Chas. Gilpin New York, May 7—(L. N. S.)—The Provincetown Playhouse has announced a revival of Eugene O'Neill's celebrated play, "Emperor Jones," on Tuesday, May 6.

Mr. Robeson was announced sometime ago as leading man of "All God's Chillun God Wings," with Mary Blair, a white actress; but it is said that Miss Blair's illness has delayed the opening of this play, which was to be the Provincetown Playhouse's fourth bill of the season. In the meantime, the play made famous by Gilpin will be offered as a substitute. African Natives Soon To Have Radio Music Washington, D. C., May 7- (P N.

Police officers who entered the home of Mrs. Rena Hardy, thinking to find evidence of violation of the prohibition laws, found rather a tiny still Mrs. Hardy invented which would do all the work and was of such a size as to be easily carried in one's pocket. No charges were made against her. The still will be exhibited at county fairs this summer. GAVE BOY DOPE AND TAUGHT HIM TO STEAL Judge Groner Sentenced Harry Walker To Five Years In Federal Prison Testimony adduced in Federal Court against Harry Walker accused of peddling narcotics Monday, made callous and hard-eyed court attendants wince with disgust when it was revealed that Walker not only had been in possession of large quantities of cocaine but had taught a 12 year-old boy how to use the "stuff" and then sent him out to steal. Judge D. Lawrence Groner, himself, thoroughly sensed the gravity of Walker's offense, and gave him the heaviest sentence meted out to narcotic law violators in his court this term. Walker was sent to the federal penitentiary for five years. Walker, hardened to infractions of both legal and moral codes seemed not to think his offense any more serious than that of others; merely charged with vending'dope. He took his sentence stoicically as he was led to the pen to await his ride to Atlanta. Spectators in the courtroom, however, seemed to have gained a good lesson from the incident. Parents were heard to mumble that such was the consequence of carelessness of parents regarding the rearing of their children.

Charleston, W. Va., May 7—(L. N. S.)—In denying a statement sent out by a New York news service, to the effect that many colored miners are held in peonage in this State Mr. T. Edward Hill, Director, State Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics, gives some very interesting information concerning the opportunities open in the state to energetic colored men Mr. Hill says: "Peonage has not existed at any time in the coal fields of West Virginia and it does not exist here now. There would be no occasion for peonage in any coal camp at this time, because for more than two years there have been several thousand miners constantly out of work. Convict labor is not employed in the mines of this State, nor are prisoners sold to industries or contractors for the payment of fines. In the largest coal-producing county in the state, there are Negro Justices of the Peace. elected by the people; and in each district in which they are elected white people outnumber Negroes more than two to one. There are many Negro Deputy Sheriffs and Constables in the coal fields of the state, and the surest prevention of lynching and peonage is Negro officers armed with authority of the law and one or two six-guns. MOST FRIENDLY RELATIONS There is no state in the Union where more friendly relations exist between the races than here in the mountains of West Virginia, where members of different races work side by side receiving the same wage, living side by side, serving as election officers in the same booth—men and women of both races—voting together for and against the same candidates, riding in the same cars side by side on trains, trolleys, busses and taxis, serving on the same juries in several counties, aiding each other in civic welfare and religious activities and mutually cooperating for the advancement of all the people and the development of the greatest, fairest and best state in the United States. OFFERS SPENDID OPPORTUNITIES No state offers better opportunities for the advancement of the race than West Virginia, with exceptional educational advantages all kinds of work open to Negroes an terms of equality of wage and living conditions, with less than half the professional men and women needed, ready employment for thousands of skilled artisans at mines, mills, factories and in the building trades, with Negroes just beginning to take advantage of their opportunities to own and operate farms and conduct business of all kinds. The mining of coal is the highest paid unskilled occupation in the world in which thousands of Negroes are engaged and from which they earn in West Virginia approximately twenty million dollars per year. They are ready to put some of that vast sum of money in Negro business enterprises, deposit it in Negro banks and spend it in Negro stores. They now support a number of Negro physicians, dentists, pharmacists and lawyers and will support many more, if fairly dealt with. The 'Negroes of West Virginia will welcome their strong, vigorous, clean brothers and sisters from the South to share the advantages offered the industrious, thrifty and law-abiding. We want more of them to own farms and homes and to engage in business here; and we want nothing that will discourage those from coming to better their condition by honest effort but this is not the state for the shiftless, idle, vicious, and lawless; and those who wish to live by their wits are warned not to come to West Virginia.

She lost the articles last Friday evening when returning from her work. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR A PROMINENT RACE DOCTOR IS FLOGGED A PROMINENT RACE DOCTOR IS FLOGGED Dr. W. H.

Last week's workouts had the tendency to make onlookers feel that the boys were in mid-season and were ready to meet some of the best amateurs. High winds have been very detrimental to the performers and it is hard for them to develop an effective service, but in spite of that some of the strokes have been humming.

The group of young men of the First Baptist Sunday School that play tennis on the grounds of the church home in Lindenwood have inaugurated a new idea in the line of tennis playing. Then men have been playing on those courts for the past three or four seasons. In fact the courts were provided for them by the church. There has been no restriction only to the boys that attend the Sunday School] of the First Baptist Church. Young men that attend other Sunday Schools and those that do not attend any at all have privileges, consequently a goodly number of the tennis lovers have played on these courts. The new idea that has been inaugurated will no doubt draw a closer relationship between the sport and the Sunday School. Herefore there has been no restriction to class or creed, but beginning with this season all contemplating playing tennis on the courts will have to present a card certifying that they will least attend the Sunday school each month. These cards will be finished by the young men of the First Baptist Sunday School and will have to be signed by the teach- eyes of the Sunday School of the young man or man contemplating participating on these courts. This does not mean that there are so many of the non-Sunday School tennis players who play on these courts. The majority of them are members of the Sunday School of the First Sunday School. But so much have become new, and the boys are trying to draw them back into the Sunday Schools. When the churches will assume a broader view of athletics and become more active in trying to get closer to the young men that like to participate in sports, we believe that a great deal will be accomplished. Cleaner and better athletics can be fostered, the truth of sportsmanship will be added to, for athletics is the sportsman's game and the sport is what it has been. It has been due to those who ignore and violate the true ideals and rules of sportsmanship, that has caused many to frown upon athletics. Usually the ones that have low ideals of sportsmanship have never had any one to teach them different. By the good elements getting into the midst of things, they get from being better therefore when the churches get into athletics, a greater number of young men will be drawn to the Sunday Schools and the churches will be able to get in closer connection with them. Easter brought out a number of tennis enthusiasts. The boys were endeavoring to knock out a few of the kinks prior to the opening of the season proper. In spite of the high winds the performers showed a little pre-season form and felt a great deal better for the day's workout. A few of the old timers were also out taking advantage of the day preparing themselves for the coming fray. They do not want the youngsters Clarence "Bull" Marrite, of Norfolk former amateur wettweigh champion of Tidewater also a brilliant football player, will go to St. Paul this fall. Merritt needs no introduction to Norfolk fans as an all-round athlete of no small ability. He coached I. C. Norcom High School, of Portsmouth last season and produced a snappy aggregation from nonmaterial. Merritt was under contract to resume coaching at the Portsmouth school, but he has brought back a new, noncomplimenting football of the college calibre. He has never played college ball, but there is no question that he is not college timer and ought to make good in fast company. He performed with some of the best amateur aggregations in the city and proved worthy of all the glory showered upon him, the mashing line poked for his amusing line, and would always be depended upon to gain the necessary yardage. His playing was with the Attucks and Acadian Athletic Clubs. Though the latter was not a winning squad he starred nevertheless. Merritt played in one of the best defensive jack fields that donned the gridiron names, namely the "Million dollar back field," which was composed of Merritt, Jackson, Moorman and Tatler, Whitlehurst, one year and Jackson, Moorman, Merritt and Johnson. The old "Bull" should not find any difficulty in making the strong squand of St. Paul. His past experience and all around performance will stand him in good stead. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. LYNNHAVEN —Standing out as the most interesting sermon we have had the pleasure to hear from our pastor for some time, Rev. W. A.

PAUL TRACK MEN IN FETTLE FOR BIG MEET Lawrenceville, Va., May 2-3—The Third Annual Track and Field Meet which was held at Russell Field this afternoon was a big success in every respect.

Even with the steady changing of times, bringing on a day when young people are more exacting, education broader and the positions of leadership being made more untenable, Mr. Collins has kept a breast of events and processes in such a manner as to be able not only to hold his own with credit, but even to create a fixed demand for his services. He is a vigorous superintendent and indications point to his holding the position until he should feel the urge to step down or until removed by death. The church is in the midst of her Spring Financial Campaign. Sunday morning the pastor preached an excellent sermon from the subject, "An Exhortation to Liberality," text, 2 Cor. 8:7.

Long, had at his command deep knowledge of human nature, backed up by processes of logical reasoning, that kept the large audience gripped with rapt attention and intense interest. The discourse centered around the disobedience of Saul, who in the beginning had the brightest and fairest prospects for a most successful career, but by failure to obey was brought to a tragic end. The sermon was the first of a series of sermons that are attracting attention in their delivery at the Bank St. Church. MT.

JOHNSON, JR. One of the greatest all-star boxing carnivals ever held in this section will staged at the St. Helena Barracks. Berkley, Friday May 16, 8 p. m. under the auspices of the Colored Post American Legion No. 111, of Portsmouth. Some of the race's best fictive experts will be seen in action, including Kid Norfolk and Smiley Kid Nolan. A number of local talent will also be in the fray to do their stuff against some of the best material available. The feature bout of the evening will be between Kid Norfolk, of Baltimore one of the premier heavyweights and recent victor of the Greb (white)-Norfolk fight—and Smiley Kid Nolan, of the West Indies, who is considered one of the cleverest youngsters in the squared circle. Nolan is credited with defeating some of the best boys and has been matched with Lee Anderson, George Robinson and Jamaica Kid. This will be one of the first bouts of its kind ever staged in Norfolk not excluding the fights pulled off at the Army Base during the period of the war, when Panama Joe Joes, Jamaica Kid, Buster Brown Young Joe Gans and a number of other good scrappers were seen in action. Norfolk fans will be given rare treat and a great number is expected to be at the ring side when the gong sounds sending on the warriors to defeat or victory. There is no question to the number of white fighters that will be won, this time in class card. They always turn out in hordes when the word fight is passed around, regardless of the color of the principals involved. FAST FINALS AND PRELIMS Some of the fastest scrappers have been secured for the semifinals and preliminaries. Not a single detail has been left undone to make this a boxing show without a parallel. In securing Kid Norfolk as one of the fighters in the main bout, the matchmaker took the first step in getting the best men in the game. Kid Norfolk has a string of knockouts to his credit and is still knocking them all for a row of smelling suits bottles. He packs a sleep producer in each mitt and does not fail to wield them wickedly. Among the good ones he has sent into the land of dreames are: Alder Felkes John Clapper Johnson, Piknic Clapper Turner and Tom Cowler. He has won Tom Billy Miske, who was defeated by Jack Dempsey in a titular match 1920, Bill Tate, the Giant Negro, Jamacia Kid, Jeff Clark and Lee Anderson. He also recently defeated the light heavyweight champion of the world, Harry Greb. Norfolk is formerly a Norfolkian and has been fighting 10 years during which time he has engaged in 67 bouts, winning 29 via knockouts, 19 via exhibition 13, 19 been put to sleep by three, namley Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby and Lee Anderson. Kid Norfolk was also in Dempsey's training camp as a sparing partner when the champion was preparing for Willard, who dethroned for him for the coveted title. Kid Nolan, Norfolk's opponent is a youngster hailing form the West Indies full of fight and ambition. He promises to give the veteran plenty of trouble in the flashe. Other good fighters that will survive the padded mits are: Chief Matsuogun, of Oklahoma, full blooded American Indian, weighing 190 who will mix things with George Ernie, of Detroit; Babe Ruth, Italian sailor Dunken; Battling Holmes, lightweight of Philadelphia and Battling Joe Sampson, of Norfolk; Jerry Hayes, scrapping middle weight of Philadelphia and Russell Kid Wilson, Norfolk's premier fighter. Wilson has engaged in 44 fights losing only four. Pielmont kid of Portsmouth weight champion of the Water and Joe Hamilton weight champion of Pennsylvania. In this array of hefty fighters fins ought to get plenty of action. There will be something doing from the first clang of the gong until the last note has died out and is not available to the human car. FIGHTERS TO TRAIN HERE Most of the fighters will train here in the city in order that the fans may have an opportunity to see them preaching to do their stuff. The mathematician wants everybody to have a chance to give them the grand optical once over before they start. Kid Norfolk is not expected THE EDITOR BOBBY DOBBS Trainer and Matchmaker to arrive in the city until about two or three days prior to the biggest set, to arrange for local followers of fistanna. Chief Mataguah will no doubt train somewhere down town and quarter in one of the white hotels as an advertisement for the white fans. Tom Hanes, Sport Editor for the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch and Mayes will be the third team ring, according to local sport circles. Norfolk's father, who lives in Cape Charles, will be at the cringe to see his famous son do his stuff. In all of his years of lighting, Norfolk's father has never seen him in action. VETERAN FIGHTER TO THE FORM Dobby Bobsle, once leading lightweight and conqueror of the original Joe Gans, the "Old Master" and Joe Wolcott a terror to the heavies in his days is the matchmaker for the fights. All of the fights are under his personal direction. KOLLEGE KID SAYS-- I happened to be passing on the St. the other day an I past a green joint, one of these places that sells "strawberry"-hot dog! She takes the highly tarnished rubber dill pickle for dumbness. There's two big business places that I no an they both sell baby carriages. One's name is Sears Roebuck an the other's is John Krall—they might sell the things. I don't not, but any how if they do all I got to say is this—If Sears Roebuck stop selling baby carriages would John Krall. One day the Sun was shinning and they day was very hot an my wiff se come here is that sweat on your nose an I sez no decrii it's not. Well I see where there is a lot of rookies over this player-writer stuff. They wants to stop all the star tennis player from playing the game if they write for the newspaper an get money for it. Well they make a big crack at old Bill Tilden he an he jumps up an quits the Davis Cup team and the Olympics team. I don't not no what the matter with them rules committee babies. I suppose that is all they got to do to earn they bread an meat. Well they wont not at the other players so much. They want to go an git me out of the game, cause they no that I'm too good for the rest of the fellows. You sea they did not want to go an ask me to quit so they go an make a rule that any guy can play tennis is a prof. player. They no that is riting an they think that I'm making a lot of jack out the game, well I is—oh no I mean I aint. Well I was thinking how resigning from the team anyway, but they don't not baffa go an make no rule like that. I no I'm the best so that's all to it. I was going to quit anyway so that the other fellows could have a chance to go ever. I have been so much that it ain't stargare to me. I used to go over every year when I was working on a cattle ship, so you sea it an strangle to me. "I seed in the papers the other day that a certain rooster hatched sum chickens is my mother them. All I gotta say is, sumthin's rotten in Denmark, in other words sumthin is wrong with that rooster. I ain't casting no insinuation at the roosters character or nuthing, but sumtih' wrong.

St. Louis Gaints Tour Thru Eastern States St. Louis, Mo. May 8—(P. N. S.J. Chaville Mills, veteran magante of the St. Louis Giants, with his team, is making a tour through the East and South. The club formerly, member of the Negro National Baseball League, is repulsed to be one of the strongest in the West. Boasting an all-star lineup, Mills through his wise and sagacious generals has made the offensive position it now holds. The team will play in Cleveland and Pittsburgh during their trip. Bacharach Defeats Patomacs 9-2 Washington, D. C., May 8—(P N. S.—After getting off to a 7-ru- lead, being in front 9-2 at the end of the fourth session, the Patomacs were last week beaten 14-10 by the Bacharachs, when the latter won both the 41st and sixth stansas and added two more in the ninth. SEASIDERS BEATEN IN LISTLESS GAME SEASIDERS BEATEN IN LISTLESS GAME Hampton, Va.—In an uninteresting and loosely played game against V. N. I. L., the flashy Petersburgers hit and ran bases at will. The result was a score which sounds very much like a football score 14-7. The Normal School boys came fresh from a 1-0 victory over Union, and were out for another scalp. A heavy downpour of rain dampened the spirits of both teams and a listlessness followed. The visitors by heavy hitting soon drove Fortune to shelter Hargrove who relieved Fortune could not check the onslaught. Armstead who pitched for the visitors did not pitch in but was effective whenever a rally "alien" for the visitors featured in a running catch of a hard hit ball and a perfect throw to second, retiring the side and preventing a sure two baggage. Owing to the rain, the game was not played on Armstrong Field but was played on the Old Hampton Field which has not been in use this year.

(sev. must fight Wills. All th Many notable events have taken place in the last few days. Among them are the winning of the College Pentathlon by the great Washington and Jefferson athlete, Weezo, who is a Negro, for the second consecutive time; Denthard Thibard's winning of two events in the Drake Relay, but he records made at the Relay by a good margin in breaking the Drake record, the actual breaking of relations between Rickard and Fippo the subsequent announcement that Wills would positively fight Dempsey in September—providing he wins from two other contenders to be picked by Rickard; the staging of the first tennis tournament among the schools of the Colored Interleagiate Athletic Association; and last, but not least, the preliminary steps taken by the Tidewater Tennis Club to put Tennis on a sound basis in and around Norfolk. West's Performance Was Spectacular West's performance is spectacular from many angles. For anything, it is, from available records, seldom that anyone has won the event in two consecutive years. Then he won it with such a comfortable lead. He had a total of 13 points and his nearest rival, Grieda, had 21 points, giving West an eight point lead. West won the broad jump and the group race. His victory in the broad jump adds to the group of the greatest jumps, of which the greatest are men of color—Gourin, the record holder, Hubbard, the intercollegiate record holder and the most consistent jumper living. Sol Butler, former Olympic team member, and now West among some others. With this array of human frogs American can place points for the jumps on his score sheet now, and they will be made by dusky fellows too. With West's victory gives the title of America's best all-round athlete. DelHart Hudbald's feat was one to bring unstained praise, but it was not an unlocked for success. Hudbald's jumping has made him one of America's sure winners and this victory of his only goes to strengthen the belief that America has at least this man to depend upon. His jump of 12 feet quarter inches in the bread jump further marks him not only as a winner, but as the most consistent distance getter in the bread jump. His victories are getting to the point where they no longer surprise us. His jump of over forty-six feet in the hop skip and jump proves that he has not lost any of his old time powers. Wills About To Have His Opportunity Statements and counterstatements have been sent out as to the relations between Rickard and Firpo, but how it seems that the sins, in the Dempsey-Wills play is about to reach the climax and the ultimate goal of Wills to be achieved. First, Wills cannot fight Dempsey at all; then why should Wills fight. Dempsey, then Demp- DeHart Hubbard Is Dependable GREB FI o Appear Here RFOLK Track - Field Reflections - BOXING - WRESTLING sey must fight Wills. All these statements have been made in rapid succession by the powers that be. With such a state of affairs it is not to be blamed on Wills if he starts throwing merchandise over board from the dock at which he works. If Wills is the same Wills of passage, can be援ied upon to keep their word, there will be a bout in September which will break all existing records for anything connected with a bout. Howard Led In Tennis Tournament Howard won both the singles and doubles matches of the first tournament staged by the C. L. A. BOXIN auspices Colored Post An- lion No. 111 of Ports BOXING CARNIVAL THE BOXING CLUB The affair was seemingly a complete success and the winners soon won the gallery with their play and sportsmanship. Tennis is a great game and the encouragement given aspiring youths interested in it is noteworthy and commendable. Tidewater Club Makes Worthy Effort The steps taken by the Tidewater Tennis Club of Norfolk can be put in the same category as the C. J. A. L's efforts. Both are worthy of the support of the public. With the proposed plans of the Journa and Guide to tournament and tournaments, pieces of the tennis can have something for which to work and train for in the future. LINCOLN ADOPTS MASS ATHLETICS Lincoln University, Pa., May 1 Lincoln University is doing much to wipe out the belief that College athletes are for the expert and for the few. Coach Young has presented a policy of all ground development to the students which is being accepted eagerly. As a sub of the enthusiasm Captains and spirit kindled, the Chester Counties are staging a field meet on May 16th, which is expected to be a day long to be remembered. One of the features of the day will be the semi-finals of the Golf Tournament. The tournament will begin on the twelfth. This and the following day will be confined mostly to eliminations. The finals are listed for the fifteenth, when the winners, singles and doubles, are to be awarded prizes. This is the first tournament of its kind ever saged by any institution for Negro education, since it is felt that its success will determine the place Golf is to hold in Negro-colored circles. Coach U. S. Young, Jr. is to be recommended for the rapid growth of mass athletics at Lincoln University. At the beginning of the year most of the interest was attracted in a few major sports in which a few men participated. Today, realizing the two-told interest, the two-fold interest, the student group three-fold interest, the student group some form of athletic exercise. This is a remarkable record since athletics are not commons here. The purpose of mass athletics, according to the Physical Director, is to insure the success of the individual and the group thru systematized, properly organized training. A strong mind cannot dwell and function properly in a weak body. Field Events: Running High Jump, Hockey High Jump, Broad Jump, Stunting High; Hop, Step, Jump; Discus, Shot Putting; and Hammer.

Lincoln University Wins In Penn Relay Carnival Lincoln University, Pa., May 1—Last year when Captain Webb came from behind and brushed the tape a fraction of a second before his nearest rival, he gave Lincoln victory and a chance to compete in faster company. This year, due to the fine work of the Lincoln another step was made towards the goal of all athletes hopes—that of competing with the best in collegiate circles. With ideal running weather and the stands thromged with ardent fans, the starters called the men to their places. At the crack of the gun Gordon got off to a good start and grabbed the pole which he held thrust his fast quarter. Hugging the rail like a Meridith, Gordon soon increased his lead to fifteen yards which he maintained. Brashear, who took the baton held up well till the finish when he seemed to falter; summoning every ounce of energy he made a perfect pass of the baton to Jason who was off like a shot, with his long free strides Jason presented off a full picture as he peeled off yard after yard. He soon separated the dislodge from self and his nearest competitor by a wide margin and finished up well. Strickland who ran anchor, did not attempt to extend himself yet finished far in advance of the 'anchors' of Temple University and _new York City College. Lincoln's team as a whole is well balanced and fast. Although the time 3:38 was slow, the fellows were not pushed and did not show their mettle. With Howard finishing fifth in her event, which was won in the fast time of 3:27 the Lincoln team is confident of winning from both Howard and Hampton when they meet. Keen Jones, who went to the Relay Carnival as a substitute, is in fine fettle and expects to get into the running at both the Howard and the Hampton Meets. Each member of the Relay team received a gold watch and the team was awarded the banner which is to be the property of the school. The team goes to Howard University on the 10th, and to Hampton on the 17th. MOOREHOUSE TAKES SPECTACULAR SERIES Atlanta, Ga., May 6—Leaving Atlanta, on Sunday evening, the Morchouse Tigers played their last on the road games for this season. The trip was very successful as the Georgia boys won four and lost one in their trip through Alabama. The all round playing of Hawkins, a recruit, the heavy and timely hitting of Walker were the outstanding features of the trip. Coach Harvey presented a changed line up and one that seemed to have worked like a clock. Williams was sent behind the plate in place of the veteran Kelley, McPherson went to centerfield in place of Williams and Hawkins fell heir to the key stone position where he performed in sensational style. Morchouse 7; Tuskegee 5 Tuskegee, Ala., April 28—Moorhouse defeated Tuskegee before a large crowd of rooters here this afternoon. Coach Abbott's boys put up a punch to win, "Lefty" Coleman, a recruit, was Coach Harvey's.

Morchouse scored two in the first inning, one in the second, and another in the third and one more in the fifth. Up to the seventh, Coleman had held Tuskegee to one run. But in the seventh, Tuskegee's bats began to talk and before Coleman could "shuffle himself," the score was tied, four runs having crossed the plate. In the ninth, Spizio Walker broke up the game by tripling with two on and two out. Tuskegee was unable to score in their half of the ninth.

From then on it was a pitcher's battle, Collins in scoring positions several times. But both pitcher tightened up and retired the sides in order. In the seventh, Tuskegee was able to push a man across the plate and another in the eighth. Morehouse was unable to score after the second inning. The fielding of Hawkins and M.

Morehouse 7: Ala. State 4 Montgomery, Ala., April 30 Morehouse defeated Ala. State here this afternoon to the tune of 7-4. A great deal of interest was centered around this game as Harris is a Morehouse graduate and was a 4 letter man. It was Harvey's system against itself. Starr, Morehouse pitcher was a sub end on the football team when "Puss" Harris was a regular. Kelley, catcher and number one pitcher provided passes to "Puss" Harris in ye days gone by. The writer learned many things from him when he played tackle and had "Puss" on the end as a running mate. Morehouse scored two in the third, three in the fourth and one in the sixth and eighth innings. State scored one in the first and another in the second. This ended their scoring preclinical rally the ninth, with the rally two wheels chalked to their account. Batteries—Morehouse: Starr and Williams. Ala. State: Kindre and McMoore.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE UNION HI GIRLS IN POST SEASON BASKET GAME Hampton, Va.—The Union High School of Hampton, playing men's rules in mid-season form, took a post season basketball game from the "Celerites" Club of Baltimore, Md. The Baltimore girls have defeated the best teams on the Atlantic coast, taking games in Philadelphia, Wilmington, Del., Washington, C.; the Pride's use of Baltimore and the fanned "Blue Bells" of New York City. The game was a thriller from the start, and the large crowd that packed the Hampton Institute gymnasium on the night of May 3, was kept in a state of suspense during the entire forty minutes of play. Due to their superior height, the Baltimore girls had the advantage of every tip-off, forcing Hampton to play a defensive game during the entire first half, and make many personal fouls. At half time the scoring stood 10-4, with the team losing. Several fans lost hope for the home team and left the scene rather than see their defeated foes. During the intermission, coaches Thomas and Curtis, having analyzed the Baltimore system of attack, gave the Hampton girls "pointers" sufficient to turn the tide. At the beginning of the second half Hampton came from behind with a rush. The Union girls took the offensive from the first tip-off, and scored three field goals in rapid succession. They also put up a perfect five-man defense, allowing Baltimore not a single field goal during the second half, although the shooting of both teams was not accurate, neither during a "set-up," during the second half, the best Baltimore and did was to register a free route, by way of the free route. The count at the final whistle stood 12 to 14 with Hampton on the winning-end. LIONS OUT IN SPRING FOOT BALL PRACTICE LIONS OUT IN SPRING FOOT BALL PRACTICE --- THE BACKFIELD In the backfield there remains Goodman, Byrd, W. S. Taylor, Poli- wer, Bail Taylor, Ward, Ward, Bail Taylor, Ward, Ward, a few others from whom is to be developed a fast and shifty set of ground gainers. Pollit, Goodman, Byrd and W. S. Taylor are expecting to deliver in the fall as never before. We ask sport writers to watch them. The purpose of the Spring training, according to Coach Young, is to put more stress on fundamentals and inside football than can be done in the course of the regular season. Men who show best promise of grasping these ideas will leave after practice with a more definite opinion of the character of the work to be given during the Fall workouts and can adapt themselves with more economy of time and effort. Among those who will not wear the Orange and Blue next year are: Capt. "Whirlwind" Johnson, J ason, "Babe" Carter, "Shuffin' Butts", Brown, Hogans and "Sty" Cunningham. They are taking great training and are taking great delight in "scking" out men to fill the ranks left vacant by them. Wills-Dempsey Fight (Continued from Page Two) weeks ago when Newton Bughee, prime boxing commissioner of Jersey, announced that he would not stand in the way of the match which was another way of inviting Rickard to pull off the bout in his bowl. Tex already had Wills, so he claimed, under contested conditions, that he failed to land the Angel's Johnny Handeck and this match fell thus far as he is concerned. When he saw that he could not persuade Luis to forgive him for tossing him to the mercy of the champ last summer, he immediately got busy and signed Wills for a bout with Dempsey, and two other bouts, presumably with Spilla and Romero, the Wilk Awk from Chile, as has been affectionately stated, these time next month and also in the Jersey dish, according to information that has tricked from the private office of the Master promoter in the Madison Square Tower. SPRANG BOMESHELL A few months ago Rick acked sprang a bombshell when he landed the Democratic convention for his Garden. At that time it was said that he had gotten himself in right with the powers that he at Albany, and thus saving the old boxing game just when due to a swing from the death deling seyhey. There was much talk of a Dempsey-Gibbons fight at the time and somebody made the wise crack that Tex was bringing in the Democratic convention mob so that they would be conveniently near and would pay to see Dempsey and somebody that he told Tex the bluff by announcing that he would not stage the Dempsey-Gibbons bout. Somewhere between the time Rickard secured the Demy confound and the announcement of the calling off of the Dempsey-Gibbons bout, James J. Johnson bought into the linelight with the announcement that he would for both hall parks; thereby forcing Rickard out of New York for the summer. The whole situation looked like a petty piece of politics, but George didn't get a bit peeved as he immediately came forth with the preclamation that all of his bouts would be staged in Boyle's Thirty Acres this summer. This means that a huge pile of good American dollars will go into the coffers of the Jersey bowl instead of those of the Empire State. This was a polite slap at the politicians. However, everybody has express satisfaction with all sides. Mr. Johnson has his ball parks and Richard has his Jersey bouts—also the Demsymp Wills bouts signed on the dotted line. So far Mr. Johnson has nothing but the ball parks, the Milk Fund bouts exe- Howard Netmen Cop Initial C.I.A.A. Tennis Title BY CHESTER L. WASHINGTON Richmond, Va., May, 6—Th first Intercollegiate Association Tennis Tournament was very successfully staged on the beautiful and well-kept courts of the Virginia Union University last Saturday, before a large and interested gallery of tennis devotees. M. H. Goff, runner-up in last year's championships, weathered some very keen competition and finally won the singles title for Howard, and, with his teammate, J. E. Waller, an able helper; was just able to gain an edge on the aggressive Union netmen, Cooper and Williams, and capped the tables with winners-up. All-around playing ability of the contestants in this event was the feature. The first set was 9-7 Howard; 2nd, 6-2. One of the most interesting features was the single finals in which L. G. Baker of V. N. L. I. wrested with the sterling player, Golf for the single supremacy. The sets went as follows: 1st G-3 Baker; 2nd, G-4 Goff; 3rd, B-6 Goff.

Good sportsmanship prevailed. The play started about 9 o'clock and lasted until about 5 o'clock with one hour intermission for dinner. The competent officials of the tournament were as follows: Mr. Henry Harris, official in charge, Messrs. C. E. Elder and C. V. Kelly, reffler, and Coach Gideon Smith and H. D. Martin constituted the C. I. A. committee in charge of the tournament. The Association's debut in the tennis arena was very successful and the team came up point to greater things in the future.

THEATRES "To The Last Man,' Heads The Bill At Portsmouth Colonia Some of the most rugged scenery in the world and probably the most primitive inhabitants of North America are featured in Paranormal Adventures by The Loose Man" a Zane Grey production, coming to the Colonial Theatre, Portsmouth, for two days, beginning next Monday. Lois Wilson, Richard Dix, Nosh Berry, Frank Campeau and Robert Edson are featured. The picture was made in the Tonto Basin, Arizona. The story is based on the Pleasant Valley war, a fued between cattlemen and sheepmen, fought in the late eighties in which both factions were wiped out literally by the last man. The war ended with a meeting between Gaston Isabel, and Lee Jorth, leaders of rival factions. Jean Isabel, son of Gaston, comes to Arizona from Oregon to aid his father. He meets Ellen Jorth, daughter of his father's enemy, and falls in love with her, later he traces cannibalism to her. He prepares a raid on the Isabel home. In the battle Guy Isabel is killed and one of his children mortally wounded. Gaston is treacherously murdered and the Isabels are ambushed while pursuing the Jorths and practically wined out. Jean, the last of the Isabels, is killed by the last of the amputating end by marrying Ellen, Jorth's daughter. Thus terminating the terrible fued. COLONIAL THEATRE MONDAY AND TUESDAY. Josee L.

(Continued from last week) With the excee I there are on That George Essex, disappointed husband of Carolin' Essex is finally brought face to face with the man whom she confessed she was with on the night when George, returning home, found his wife abentent, only to return later with a man who left her at the curb. That George in the home of this man, possessing his wife's admission of the man's guilt, has now turned upon that party and demanded an explanation. There are five to listen to the story: George, the husband who caught his wife, Carolin', questionably connected, Harry Crane, the friend of George; the other man, named, Smith; Mie, Smith, and a child. The issue is now between the angered husband and the other man. I escorted your wife home at 11 o'clock that morning, sir," he said in somorous tones, "at the request of my wife, Mrs. Smith." All of us, excepting Carolin', turned and looked at the frightened woman on the douffold. She seemed to cringe before our gaze, so me she acted more like a slave than a free person. After a lingering glance at the frightened woman, George turned back to the man. His wrath was greater now than it had been at my time since the trouble began, he was in a mood to commit rash seeds. "So you are a disciple of this free love stuff, ch?," he gritted, his hands working strangely. "You love that woman cowed to bow to your will. Because she is afraid of you, you are free to garner as many flowers—" "You do me an injustice, sir," interrupted the host, a bit incensed. "Yen accuse me wrongly. I escorted your wife home, as I have said, at the behest of Mrs. Smith. I have no other explanation to make." "I suppose you are acquainted with my wife," mocked the husband. "To the contrary, sir," returned her host. "I have known Mrs. Essex for a number of years. We have always been good friends. At this point Carolin' spoke. Why she had remained silent so long I do not know unless she wanted these two men to feel each other. But she finally spoke, and what she said was not much more illuminating than what she had said on other occasions. "Do not vent your wrath on this man, George," she supplicated. "Please curb your temper just a little while and let me explain. I will make a clean confession. Afterwards, if you are still dissatisfied with me I will do as you wish me to do—apply for a divorce. But at my rate, let me tell my story and absolve those good people from all blame." "I do not care for any explanations from you, Mrs. Essex," he explained. "I believe I understand the matter fully. I am satisfied that I have come in contact with bunch of fanatics. No doubt you call this the new freedom. Come, Harry, let's go." "I looked around for my hat, but Carolin's demonstration caused me to abandon the search." "You will not go until I have told out my story," she cried, desperately, as she caught him by the hand. "I do not ask you to forgive me, all I ask you to do is to believe that I am telling the truth. She night that I was away from home I was in this house with these people. The only other outlier was a physician from the city—Doctor Norton. That made me of us." "Five," surrendered George, who had made no attempt to release himself from the woman. "What five?" By ALEX SMART THE BAND FOLLOWING because it is an excellent musical aggregation. But it seems that there is a certain element of folks that goes a bit too far in showing its appreciation of the band. People on the streets bent on business erands or otherwise engaged who have not the time nor inclination to follow the band have just as much right to the sidewalks as the hovel, many of them a disrespectful lot, that assumes the right to knock everybody else in the gutters to follow the music. The action of a bunch of colored folks down town Thursday afternoon when the Excelsior came along in the parade was a disgust. Many people, white and colord, who desired to hold their places along the line of review and watch and hear the fine boys were actually knocked off their feet by the gang that clamored over everything in sight to keep up with the band. Women, children, the lame, the infirm, made not a single bit of difference to this bunch, they were ruthlessly pushed out of the way by some in the crowd who intended to follow the band and make themselves as ridiculous as possible in the downtown section. There is no need for this. Anybody who wants to follow the band has a perfect right to do so, but they have no right to disregard the rights of everybody else in the By BEN GOODLOW With the exception of Harry and I, there are only three persons present, counting the child. Who was the fifth person? Another disciple of the cult?" Carolin' genoved her chinging hands from her husband and turned to the woman on the duofoil, who was muttering to herself, "Come here, Floyd," Carolin' command was instantly obeyed. With a squeal of delight, as only a happy chap can emit, the little curly-headed type in rompers escaped, from the Smith woman's embrace, slid to the floor, and scampered to Carolin', his glad and boyish voice ringing merrily thruout that gloomy old house. "And who is this?" frowned my friend as he looked down on the little type, clinging to his wife's skirts. "This," she said in a voice that was scarcely audible, a voice filled with suppressed emotions, "is my son!" "Your son? The shock was so great to George that he threw up his hands, his face registering horror, consternation and unbelief. "Yes," she said swiftly, seeking to meet his eyes in a courageous, straightforward glance. "My son. Flesh of my blood and bones of my bones. He is a part of me and I of him. He was ill on the night that I failed to return home. He was very ill. We had to call in a physician. It was after 3 o'clock the following morning before he was declared out of danger. Would a mother desert the bedside of her sick child?" George did not seem to hear her explanation. He did not seem to comprehend what she was saying. Ice and steel and iron and bitterness had entered his soul. The expression in his eyes was terrifying, maddening. His handsome, brown face grew hard and stern and almost cruel. It wasn't wrath that was beating at the doors of his heart; it wasn't hate; it wasn't insane impulse to destroy; it was something more threadful—something indefinable—something beyond the limited comprehension of man. I saw him draw away from her. I saw him rub the palm of his hands across his eyes as if he were trying to dash away a horrible vision. But Carolin did not shrink from him. Her courage did not falter. She was not going to quit. Pushing the child gently to one side she approached her slowly retreating husband. He gestured for her to keep her distance, but she did not heed him. She was playing a desperate game, a woman's game. She had little to win and much to lose. She was gambling, and the mark was set against her. At all hazards she must make him understand — him whom she adored and loved and worshipped above the world, to judge from the light that shown in her tear-wet eyes. "Wait, George", she supplicated, as he continued to move away from her. "Let me go on the stand in my own defense. Let me tell you Norfolk Journal and Guide streets.

GETS A LESSON ABOUT LAW supposed friend called to see a local attorney a few weeks ago and put the matter straight up to him. The old gent explained he had sold his friend some lumber to build an outhouse and then built the house for him. The transaction invoiced $15.00. When the job was finished the money was not forthcoming. After duly waiting he approached the attorney in question and told him the facts. The lawyer took the papers and asked the old man for $5.00 retainer fee. "$5.00 for what," the old man shot back. "You ain't dong nothin' for me. I jess talked to you. Does it cost me $5.00 to talk to you. I ain't never paid no man to talk to him." The lawyer tried to explain, but the prospective client demanded the return of his papers, saying, "If it's gwine to cost $5.00 to talk to you, it'll cost the whole bloomin' $15.00 for you to collect for me." He took his papers and left the my story. Let me tell you the truth without reservations. I don't come to you with a weary story of an unsophisticated girl who sinned without knowing it was sin. I do not come to you as an innocent victim of circumstances. I do not lay claim to satisfaction. I come to you as a woman who loves and was loved, but was too foolish to distinguish between folly and wisdom. I do not ask you to forgive me. I do not ask you to take me to your bosom again after you have learned how I have deceived you. All that I ask for is your tolerance. All that I ask for you to do is to believe that my intentions were good, even though they did not work out. I ask you to be considerate—to understand. I played a foolish game and lost. I have done things I must atone for. Will you listen to my story? "Before our marriage," he said coldly, "you swore to me that you had never loved another man. Yet rhig child—this child—" "——is a product of love," she finished. "I lied to you when I told you that no man had ever claimed me for his own. I lied to you—deceived you because I thought that if you know my past you would not marry me. Yes, this child is the son of a man whom I at one time worshiped. But when you came into my life with your gentleness, your nobility, your knowledge of human mature, I was too hungry for your love and protection to jeopardize my chances by telling you the story. I was afraid that you would think me a designing woman—an ventures with an eye to a main chance. I never intended that you should know my story. But now that you are convinced of disloyalty, there is no other way that I can go but reveal my past. Will you listen to my story. After have told it you may drive me from you, may drive me from you with curses and blows, but I plead with you to listen." As he made no comment one way or the other, as his attitude neither repelled nor compelled, she dropped into a wicker rocker that stood near, gathered the child in her arms, proceeded to tell the most amazing story of elemental love, primal hatreds, crass, intolerance, poison justice, snobbery lawlessness, and courage, that I have ever heard from the lips of any man or woman. As her story progressed the thought dawned upon me that it was merely typical of a thousand other unrecorded romances that flare up with the flame of devotion and flicker out on the altar of intolerance, with great frequency as the relentless years march on. 4 Smith, smoking a braiwood pipe paced the floor restlessly, with his hands clasped behind his back, as Carolin', her voice tense and low and dramatic recited the events of her early life. On his dark yellow face there was a look of grimness. In his eyes there smoudered a light that I could not analyse. Mrs. Smith remained on the douffold, a woman wrapped in the cloak of fear. At times she would mutter to herself. Once or twice I saw tears sneak down her cheeks. Always, her fingers worked in that agitated fashion that is more eloquent than words. I swear that she puzzled me. What great part was she to play in Carolin's drama? What important role did she assume? In what act would she assume? In what attitude would she stand in stellar glory? But I could not, answer these questions. My brain was too dull to unravel the threats of mystery. But listen to poor ill Carolin' she is talking. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1924 Dean Kelley Miller Answers Some Criticisms of Sanhedrin lawyer's office grumbling that he had never heard of such high handed business. Two young men emerging from a down town office building last week were heard RIDING IN to remark, "that ELEVATORS thing certainly galls me." Following close behind them I observed the conversation was about their having gone up on an elevator on which two colored women and several white men rode. The young men said that they uncovered their heads while in the car, but the white men didn't. On coming down several white women and men were aboard the car, and so were these two young men. All the men took off their hats. The point these young fellows were sore over, is that they uncovered their heads when both white and colored women rode in the car, but the white men respected only their own women to that extent. Most everybody who has ridden in elevators in office buildings in the South have observed the same thing. It is enough to make the heart sick. Of course, under these I am receiving numerous inquiries as to the future course of the Negro Sanhedrin. The meeting at Chicago was a success beyond the fondest dreams of its promoters. I have watched with eagerness and keen interest the response of the press to the suggestion of the new enterprise. The comment has been all but universally laudatory, with a few exceptions, based it seems to me, upon a total inability or disinclination to grasp the underlying principle. In one or two instances there has appeared the thinly disguised animus that the new movement would rob some existing organization of some of its wonted or waunted prestige. Another critic exulted in the fact that the Sanhedrin had brought forth nothing new under the sun. A good friend of traditional tendencies and orthodox type of opinion indulged in the gleeful banter, that "you got the leaders of the race together for once, but you cannot do it again." He, with accommodating oblivion, forgot his earlier prophecy that the achievement was impossible in the first instance. When I first undertook to promote the idea I was overwhelmed with the counsel of the impossible. The idea was riddled in every mood and tense of ridicule. But it succeeded nevertheless. FAILURE WOULD BE TOTAL There are a few, not many, who would take gleeful delight if the proposition should collapse. This is a type of temperament which it is hard for me to fathom. All will agree that existing agencies are failing lamentably to function effectively in our racial affairs. There is universal appreciation of the fact that the failure is due in the main to lack of harmony and coordination. The Negro Sanhedrin is a serious attempt to supply this lack. Should it fail similar effort would be frustrated for fully half a generation. Why any Negro should gather anysemblance of satisfaction from the collapse of this great effort surpasses my power of comprehension. However, the pessimists may possess their souls in place and in patience. The Sanhedrin will not fail. It is to deeply grounded in racial necessity to mevert or to meet such a fate. So much for the critics and the pessimists who can never rise above the level of negativity. On the other hand, practically every race thinker has hastened to commend the great idea. The white press has proclaimed the Sanhedrin idea as one that is bound to bear fruit. A federated movement that will unite in one cord of strength the scattered strands of racial endeavor is a simple statemanlike proposition which meets with ready comprehension in every mind which grasps great social movements. EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE IN MAY Why are you allowing the movement to lag? queries many an interested inquirer. To this I can only answer with due apology, that large bodies move slowly, especially when they are first set in motion. The Chicago Conference elected a chairman, a vice-president, a secretary and a treasurer, and placed in their hands the tremendous task of forming the preliminary organization. As chairman I confess that I have been waiting for the chance of a full conference with the other officers before making further publication of our plans. This conference is planned for the month of May. The public will be informed as to the important steps then taken. The organization will be only preliminary and provisional until the next session to be held within one year from the Chicago meeting. The full proceedings of the Chicago Conference will shortly be issued and a full account given to the public of the stewardship of the movement on part of the Committee of Arrangements. This will also set forth in clear form the aim of the Sanhedrin and its method of procedure. I regard the Constitution of the Sanhedrin as a remarkable document, in that it effects a workable plan of cooperation among agencies and activities that are so diverse and overlapping in nature and scope that harmonization so far has been deceived impracticable. The Sanhedrin does not propose to flare up and die down in a day. The constitution represents the REVIEW and COMMENT PINCHOT And PENNSYLVANIA That long nourished ambition in the breast of Gifford Pinchot to be President of the United States has at last avisen and smitten his chances to attain the coveted honor. Pennsylvania has repudiated him, her Governor, and the Republican party has to all intents and purposes read him out of the fold, at least out of the fold of the regulars. A big green enclosed limousine drew up alongside of carb on a certain Norfolk St. CAN'T SIT ON the other day with a uniformed chauffer and two Penn him, her Glican party purposes re at least out lats. Pincher. Pinchot always has been regarded more or less an opportunist, but when he assayed to saddle the prohibition pony for a gallant ride to the White House he missed his success. Prohibition speaking, Pennsylvania is as weer at the Atlantic Ocean. In spirit that state has never made an attempt to conform to Volsteadism. And when the Governor in his zeal to enforce the 18th Amendment in preference to the other laws of his commonwealth and the Nation thrust a back stair at Andrew Mellon, of his own state and party, he knitted himself. er Answers isms of Sanhedrin and the Na and Andrew and party, Pincho Couzins, Francis nia, an in employed of the Fr Pinchot suggests to Senator Couzins, of Michigan, that Francis J. Heney, of California, an intrepid prosecutor, be employed to delve into the files of the Internal Revenue Bureau, a government department under Secretary Mellon. The Governor was hopeful of unearthing enough scandal in connection with prohibition enforcement to ruin Mellon politically and make shine bright his own star. He guessed wrong. Nobody likes a coward. Pinchot would destroy his party for Pinchot, and Pennsylvania reacted by denying him a seat in the National Convention of the party in Cleveland. This will be the first time in many years that the Governor of the Keystone state was not a delegate to the National Republican Convention. hedrin seemed prosiac and tame. Garvey in his robes as Emperor of Africa and DuBois arrayed in the glamor and glory of ambassadorial splendor form indeed interesting spectacles for the American Negro to look at. We all desire the ultimate redemption of Africa, albeit the programs of Garvey and DuBois may seem equally impracticable and bizarre. Mr. DuBois complains that the Sanhedrin brought no new ideas in the treatment of well known tracts From Twenty-Fifth H CAROLIN INSURANCE Durha THE CLOSE OF BUSINES verified during con- a, South Carolina and Abstracts From NORTH C Abstracts From Twenty-Fifth Annual Statement of the NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY The following figures verified during convention examination conducted by North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia Insurance Departments Income Assets (Net Value).....$ 399,497.03 State.....665,804.90 .....143,077.26 Municipal Bonds.....327,550.00 Bank, Bankers' .....38,575.00 .....119,208.22 Accrued.....32,162.69 .....7,199.00 Fred Premiums.....165,824.89 .....99,454.31 .....$1,998,853.30 Insurance in Force $41,148,787.00 Norfolk District Office Attucks Theatre Building E.M.

It is more important that we build wisely than that we make needless haste. If the organization can be fully launched and put in effective operation at the next session all of the ends of the movement will have been reasonably met. THE CRITICISM OF THE CRISIS Just as I had finished indicting the last sentence, some one called my attention to the May issue of the Crisis which contains a pointed criticism of the Sanhedrin by the learned and brilliant editor. As usual the opinion breathes an air of finality for which the learned editor is famous. He bellittles the movement because it did not indulge in vacuous denunciation and sonorous pronouncements on housing, intermarriage, union labor, and the Ku Klux Klan. One wonders if the learned editor has lost his grip on domestic conditions during his brief sojourn abroad. While chasing the chimera of the Pan African Conference and functioning for the moment as Envoy Extra Ordinary to the Court of Monrovia, perhaps the common procedure of the Negro San- $1,820,054.23 -$3,215,098.20 Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials In the past fortnight events have given to the once passive, indefinite and uncertain candidacy of Governor Al Smith of New York for the Democratic nomination in June positive form. This is not saying that he will receive the nomination but he will be in the running and that is almost seshrdluetaoiemfwyp that is almost a certainty. When death cut short the plans of the late Tanimany boss, Charles F. Murphy to go into the convention with his prodigy, Al Smith, on his shoulder with the avowed intention of jamming him thru, Democratic strategy in New York asserted itself. Franklin D. Roosevelt was harnessed to lead the Smith contingent in the preconvention campaign. Rosevelt is a born fighter. He is a progressive politician and fortunately is untainted by any stigma of political craftiness. As assistant Secretary of the Navy he added prestige to his already good record. He has had political counterts with the late Murphy and won. He is qualified. Among Negroes nationally Smith enjoys favor, on account of the consideration New Yorkers of the race have received at the hands of Tammany. What the powerful democratic organization has done for the brethren in Gotham is an open book. But Cal Coolidge has clinched the Republican nomination. He is strong among Negroes. Not on account of any brilliant strokes of recognition that he has as President accorded them as citizens, but more because he has not antagonized the group and has done enough constructive work in their behalf to entitle him to their confidence. evils. This was far from the purpose of the promoters. It might be said in passing that if my good friend, the editor of the Crisis, has any new ideas on the topics mentioned in his criticisms, he very studiously hides them from his readers of his journal. The aim of the Sanhedrin is not to find new nostrums for lynching, segregation or any other specific racial evil. The N. A. A. C.

There is no obscuring the fact that many Negroes are strong for the New York Governor. Some people endeavor to impress the world that the colored race is decidedly in favor of prohibition. That may be much desired, but it is not a fact. Colored people are just like other people regarding this thing—we have a plenty of wets and a plenty of drys—and if the plain truth were told the final count of the wets would outnumber the drys, just the same as in the white race. People vote their innermost convictions and not what the churches or even their known reputations say they are. If Governor Smith should receive the nomination his wet tendencies might surprise the all-wise ones. People vote in seclusion, and talk to the galleries. But the die is cast in favor of Coolidge in so far as colored voters figure in the reckoning. If the political code of Tammany Hall could be made national, that would be another matter. But even with the most ardent Tammanyite in the White House he would be powerless to do much for the Negro as long as the Hefflins, Byrnes, Simmons and other Southern Democrats retained a controlling hand on the party. There are some good Democrats in the North, many of whom would make as good a President to the colored brother as some Republican who have occupied the White House. But nationally they can do but little in a particular way for our group. rights organizations are now devoted to this task. The Sanhedrin proposes to federate and focus the whole machinery of race agencies upon the point of greatest pressure for the moment. It will work in through and by any existing organization to accomplish the end desired. The basis has been laid for the effective cooperation of agencies of the widest variety of type upon all problems and issues (Continued on Page 11) The State of North Carolina Leading In Racial Harmor SAYS CAROLINA RACERELATION IS IMPROVING James Weldon Johnson Concludes After Tour of State That Citizens are Receptive To Mutual Program. New York, May 2—James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who has just returned from a speaking tour in North Carolina, where he was most cordially received by white as well as by colored citizens, today, in an interview, declared that North Carolina was a southern state in which interracial relations seemed in the part of both white and colored groups a receptive attitude toward the program of the N. A. A. C. P. "On my Southern speaking tour in North Carolina," said Mr. Johnson, "I spoke in Ashville, Greensboro and Durham. In Ashville the meeting was held in the Young Men's Institute which was packed to the doors and among the audience was a former Attorney General of the United States, Mr. Geo W. Wickersham. "In Greensboro the meeting was held in the magnificent new courthouse and I was told more than 500 people had been turned away. Professor Jackson of the State Normal School, compiler of an anthology of poetry by Negroes, was present at the meeting and brought with him 40 girls of the white student body. "I was greatly impressed with the progressive spirit of the colored people in the towns of North Carolina. They are wide-awake and enterprising, and I was also impressed with the way in which they are working out, in a staisfactory manner, the relation between the races. It appears to me that perhaps in North Carolina more than in any other Southern state the relations between the races are approximating a desirable condition. "My trip also convinced me that North Carolina is a Southern State in which the program of the N. A. A. C. P. can be carried out with great success. The leading colored men and women with whom I talked want me to come down and tour all of the principal cities of the State for the purpose of stimulating anew the N. A. A. C. P. branch. I expect to go to North Carolina for a more extended stay and more intensive work in the fall." "The white press showed the most cordial spirit both I mannouncing and in reporting my meetings, in which I discussed the Negro's contribution to American civilization." COLUMBIA Columbia, N.

Simm was installed as assistant pastor of Zion. The impressive services were opened in the usual order and Rev J. W. Barco of Virginia Union University read as Scripture lesson Acts 4 and 2 Timothy 4:1-8. Prayer was offered by Rev J. James Jones, after which the choir rendered the anthem "the were ninty and nine." Rev J. M. Armistead, who has preached God's word for 49 years, 42 of which have been spent in Zion, then introduced Rev Barco who preached the installation sermon. Rev, Barco chose his text from Romans 1: 16-17, and used as his subject "The Gospel as God's Saving Mark." Before beginning his discourse he paid an excellent tribute to the work done by Rev, Armistead and said that although the edifice in which Zion's congregation worshipped will be a lasting monument to hip, the many lives which he has influenced for good will be a greater monument. The speaker then defined the Gospel as the proclamation of the grace of God manifested to man thru Christ and said its aim was to save sinful men. He proved that the gospel was powerful enough to save men because it had all of God's omnipotence behind it. Proofs of the power were given from many books of the Bible and in emphasizing these the speaker declared that it was the imperative duty of the church to seek to draw multitudes within its fold. "We talk of the 'survival of the fittest'" said the speaker, "but the gospel of Christ is universal and no man is so far gone but that it can reach him. It tells him the unfit and the misfits may survive. It does not only save from the punishment of sin but saves from sin itself and it is given to whomsoever will account it thru faith." Rev. Barco held his audience spellbound as he delivered his charge to Rev. E. F. Smith. Among the things said to him. "It is a fine thing to sway men with verbal eloquence but a much finer thing to sway men by examples of righteous living. So let your life and your work here be a plea to men to follow you as you follow Christ. Search the scriptures, preach the unsearchable riches of Christ, walk humbly with God and may His blessings crown your work." At night the Lord's Supper was administered and Rev. Amistad and Rev. Smith officiated. This solemn service closed a day which will be a memorable one in the history of Zion. On Monday night a welcome program was rendered to Rev. Smith on behalf of the church and the citizens at large, after which a reception was tendered to the members and friends of the church by the various auxiliaries.

UNION WINS OVER HOWARD-LINGOLN TRIANGLE DEBATE UNION WINS OVER HOWARD-LINGOLN TRIANGLE DEBATE --- Richmond, Va., May 6—Last Friday was victory day for the debating teams of Va. Union University. What may be regarded a paradox occurred when teams representing Union won both the affirmative and the negative side of the subject in the annual triangular debate May 2. The Red and Steel team a sweeping victory in the decision at home and in Washington. Union's home team was too much for Lincoln whom she gave a crushing defeat, in grand style before one of the largest and most enthusiastic audience that ever filled the chapel of the university. At Howard the onslaught was just as complete as at home. From the beginning Union was as master of the debate. The subject of the debate was: "Resolved, That the United States should join the World Court as stipulated by President Harding." Union defended the affirmative side of the subject at home and the negative side at Howard. The team which represented Union at home consisted of W. H. Payne, J. T. Carter, Jr., and J. Colden. The Union Spurred the alter. The team which represented Union in Washington consisted of J. R. Henderson, R. P. Daniel and E. M. B. Lee. A. Milberry was the alternate. At home and Washington Union's team displayed superior skill and intellectual acumen to the opposing teams. Their grasp of the subject and their knowledge of the whole question of internationalism was broader than that of the losing teams. Union's teams completed their debating skill but for their choice English, fine diction and superb phrasiology. The team which went to Howard was royally entertained. Not a thing was overlooked which might add comfort and pleasure to the team. Professors and students alike did everything possible to make the debaters feel at home. The courtesies and hospitality of the university were extended freely to the team. The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority entertained the debaters as has been their tradition. At *Union* the Linebackers were entertained by the Kappa Camma Chi Literary and Debating Society and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. NEW JERSEY A.M.E.Z. CONFERENCE MEETS Sessions Marked With Highly Interesting Features: Bishop Delivers Splendid Annual Address. Newark, N. J., May 7—The Fifty-first session of the New Jersey Conference of the M. E. Zion Church, which met in the Roosevelt Memorial Temple, of which Rev. S. L. Corrothers is pastor, closed last Sunday evening when the appointments were read. Bishop Wallace, one of the leading churchmen of the race presided over the session. Sunday was the day of conference, and visitors came from many of the surrounding towns in New Jersey. The sermon was preached by Bishop P. A. Wallace. At the afternoon session on Sunday one of the most impressive features was the ordination sermon and ordaining candidates for the Eldership by the Bishop. The Bishop told of the responsibilities that rest upon the shoulders of those who are ordained. He told the following candidates as Elders which gives them full powers as ministers: Revs. T. H. Tunston, E. A. Corrall, and Robert Landin. At the evening service Rev. Dr. C. L. Whitted of Philadelphia, and Secretary of the Ministerial Brotherhood, preached. The sermon was followed by the reading of the appointments. The conference opened Wednesday morning, April 23. The delegates and ministers came from various points through the University. Bishop Lee, C. Coldwell, two of the leading bishops of the conference in attendance, and made stimulating addresses on the work of the conference and the general church. SERMON BY REV. KIRBY The feature of the opening service was the sermon by Rev. J. B. Kirby of Somerville, N. J., and the celebration of the day of the General Officers were then presented to the conference: Dr. C. H. Alleyne, editor of Quarterly Review, Rev. C. H. Whitted, Secretary of Ministerial Brotherhood, J. W. Martin, Secretary of Education, J. Francis Lee of the Sunday School Board and Dr. Sutton of North Carolina. The principal feature of the Thursday School Conference was the address of Bishop P. A. Wallace. It was one of the most forward looking addresses that has ever been delivered before the conference, and took high ground upon the things that confront the church and the nation. The Bishop said that the church should seek NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE to render better service to its fellow-men and measure up to its responsibilities. He said that the minister should seek at all times to render the highest service to the church and the community. He recommended the old-fashioned revivals for the spiritual growth and welfare of the church. He stressed the importance of the ministry service in the church, and said that it was through missions that the church is extended, the speaking of the state of the country, Bishop Wallace said "Crime is still on the increase in this country. The increase of crime in America is causing thoughtful men and women to tremble for the future of the country. The Tea Post Dome scandal has caused a great deal of unesatisfaction. It has greening to know the midst of this scandal there is one man who has stood out above it all, I refer to Calvin Coolidge." SPEAKS OF LYNCHING Continuing his address the bishop said: "I am glad that lynching is on the decrease in America. This has been brought about largely through a campaign of education. The Dyer Anti-Lynching had a great deal to work up with him against lynching." Wallace spoke of the work that is being done for interracial co-operation in the South. He said that the world is working now for a better brotherhood. He called attention to the problems that the church must face as a moral Confederate and that every conference should regard the conference seriously. He told of the care that should be exercised in the election of bishops. He recommended that the Financial Plan of the church be re-organized and that the Budget system be adopted. He called attention to the necessity of maintaining strong institutions for the education of the ministry. He said that money was needed for the development of the field. The address of the bishop was praised by Rev. S. L. Corrothers, bishop C. C. Caldwell, F. M. Jacobs, bishop C. H. Brown, Dr. J. E. Rogers, the Presiding Elder of the New Jersey district. At the session on Thursday evening a sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. E. W. D. Jones, pastor of the Union Wesley Church of Washington, D. C. Dean Kelly Miller Answers Some Criticisms (Continued from Page 7) which are race wide and race deep. It is deeply to be regretted that so influential journal as the Crisis should place itself on the negative column upon a movement that is all but universally deemed potential of the largest racial good. Is it that this is the declared opinion of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, and does not Society Printing THE GUIDE PUBLISHING COMPANY prefect to commit the Crisis beyond the range of his personal authority. Let it also be hoped that the editor will change his opinion on the revelation of new light, or by placing himself in a more generous and favorable attitude to the light already revealed. THE PEOPLE RECEIVE THE SANHE DRIN GLADLY Since the adjournment of the Chicago Conference, I have spoken on the Sanhedrin plan and program in Indianapolis, New York, Baltimore, Norfolk and Richmond. The people are everywhere eager and anxious for further development and practical application. We have planned the work; now only remains to work the plan. This we propose to do regardless of the criticisms which arise from quarters where we and person to suggestive and helpful suggestions. The critics are few; the friends are many. I wish to propose a single question to the Sanhedrin critics: If the Sanhedrin fails, what will succeed? SEGREGATION AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL As I stated sometime ago in this column, the question of residential segregation by covenant is now being tested by the courts of this jurisdiction. The principle of the covenant has been upheld by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and has been argued before the Court of Appeals which is now holding the question of citizenship in the case decided there will be an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. Here is a matter that affects the whole race. The eyes of the nation are upon this spot. If segregation by covenant is first confirmed in the District of Columbia which fails wholly under federal jurisdiction, all other of the land, will gladly copy, and point the justifying finger to the example set at the capital of the Nation. This cause should engage the interest and command the support of every Negro agency and organization in the whole land. The mission of the Sanhedrin when fully "organized will be to call the attention of the whole race through a centralized agency, which reach quickly in effectively the various racialities into which the racial life is divided, and focus it upon this local danger which has serious nation-wide implication. It might well operate for this purpose through the instrumentality of the existing organization best calculated to serve the race at the needed time and place. BROADWAY EAST WASHINGTON ST. C.

"No indeed, aunt Haag. His children are not supposed to sit back there when the family lounges. He took too much like they were the owners," we were told. And it was to laugh.

In the first instance, it is about the busiest place I have ever seen. Papers must be printed on time, dispatched on time to catch certain outgrowing trains. In fact, everything must be on time—a few minutes delay may mean the loss of considerable money to the publisher, the advertiser and any amount of annoyance to thousands of subscribers. A train, or a boat missed is a costly error. Everything in a newspaper office is done with two prime factors in consideration—time and space. Of course none of this article has to do with the policy of the paper. Space is just about as important as contributed weekly to the progressive journals and it taxes the wits of the editors how to cut here and there so as to accommodate as many as possible. Now, as everything around the offices seems to be based on time and space, I have observed that the best way to get into print, is to write briefly and plainly. The copy-readers have small patience with the long drawn out text. That is because they don’t have the time to take a vacation from work to devote and hour or so reading one article to find out what it is all about. And that it is not going in the paper until they do read it over carefully is a certainty. Counteract Your Tendency toward Acid Mouth . . .

Again, they "make faces" over copy sent in on mee cards of papery, often written on both sides. The copyist usually lays this aside until he gets time to write it all over on a typwriter on one side of the paper before sending it to the typing machines. He may get the time to do this or he may not, anyhow he is going to give preference to that copy which does not require such treatment. I write so badly that he cannot read it, he is more than likely to call into his waste basket rather than spend his valuable time trying to decipher it. And right here, I'll say, the waste basket is the hardest worked article in a newspaper office. Another thing, newspaper men are ever awake and they always know the condition of the weather. They believe that everybody also knows about the weather. Things people know about are not news. Then, it's no use starting of news by saying "a day Sunday" as a fair news paper "because newspapers are not going to publish that statement. Everybody knows what kind of a day Sunday was. When writing about people there is no use of saying "we hope this or that about them" because to a newspaper "We" means the editors who may or may not be in the article, and if they do hope it they will probably say so in their editorial columns. Of course, this does not apply to paid matter. Again, those bloat around news papers have a keen 'sense' of what is and what is not news. They are trained to it. Plain, everyday, the man psychology is their chief study. They study that as persistently as the good minister, studies his sermons. They can give the article the "once over" and dedicate its news value in a jiffy. We may disagree with them often, but they have nothing to rely on except their own judgment—the responsibility is all theirs. Probably there is no person in the world who the newspaper man are more keenly on the look out for than newspaper man for advertising in his news. I suppose they must have sometime in the past been imposed on by this class of people. Anyway they are ever on the watch for him, and he seldom gets by them. Now the things to bear in mind when writing for newspapers are brevity, flexibility and ample paper. I cannot guarantee that this form will enable you to get in print, but I assure you that it will go a long way in that direction. Norfolk Journal and Guide PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE GUIDE PUBLISHING CO., Inc. 711-17 HIGHLAND AVENUE NORFOLK, VA. TELEPHONE 23100 One candidate is running for a seat in Norfolk City Council on a platform promising Sunday baseball. The candidate that promises a park where the colored population may have a baseball diamond will get the unanimous race vote. The fact that the Republican Governor of Indiana has been indicted for using the mails to defraud and has been jailed is a National disgrace. His activities involved millions of dollars and he appears to have been unconscious of the obligations of the high office he held. Fortunately the instances of such turpitude are not many among those holding high office in the public service. If All Democrats Were Like Charles F. Murphy When Mr. Charles F. Murphy, Chief of the Tammany Hall Democracy, died suddenly in New York City, last week, it not only threw the Democratic politics of New York into confusion but, in a measure, the Democratic politics of the Nation, especially as it effects the nomination of the next candidate of the Democratic party, at its June convention in New York, for President, as Mr. Murphy had set as the rounding out of his political fortunes the nomination of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York as the Democratic candidate, and he so laid his plans that that may be the outcome of the work of the Democratic convention. Mr. Murphy rose from the lowest condition of boyhood and manhood in the Gas House District of New York, the toughest district of the tough New York in other days. He was a street car conductor and a saloon keeper before he became a great man in Tammany Hall. Strange that a man with such education and early occupations should in his own way strive to make Tammany Hall a morally decent organization, and succeeded to such an extent that when he died it was truthfully said that under his leadership New York has become one of the cleanest and best governed cities in the country. That is great praise, when it is remembered that Tammany Hall was once a real stench in the nostrils of decent people, with the lowest standard of political morals in the politics of the Nation. But our interest in Mr. Murphy is to be found primarily in the fact that Mr. Murphy was a real 100-per cent American democrat. He wiped out the race and color line in New York politics. All partisans of Tammany Hall looked alike to him. The Negro. Jew, Italian, all the many race groups in New York, and their name is legion, were valued at their proper rating—their ability to deliver notes and their mental and moral fitness to hold such offices of trust as usually fall to the lot of good partisans. He did not regard the Negro as a Negro but as a partisan. He gave us a civil service commissioner, and representation in all of the municipal departments, with a large representation on the police force. True, this policy was inaugurated under Mr. Richard Croker, but Mr. Murphy not only adopted it as his own but carried it to the limit of a square deal and fairplay. If all Democrats were like Charles F. Murphy, if the Democrats of the South were like him, who did not carry the social equality scare crow into his business as a political leader, and had no need to, any more than Southern Democrats need to, the South would be a much better place in which to live and not such a good place to migrate from, as so many find it good to do. The example of Charles F. Murphy in dealing with the Negro in politics, as a man and partisan, could be studied to advantage by the thoughtful Democrats of the Southern States. Editorial Page of Respect For Law In The South The troubles which the Federal authorities have and have had in enforcing the Prohibition laws has done much to bring law enforcement into contempt in all parts of the country. The Government has failed to stop the manufacture and sale of liquors, and the illicit distillers and vendors of adulterated liquors have not only reaped a great harvest of dollars but a great harvest of deaths. All of this is scandalous, and the end of it is not yet. But failure of Prohibition enforcement has led to an attempt, which has taken on the semblance of ghostliness, to show that efforts to enforce the suffrage amendment of the Constitution with no law for enforcement built upon it is equally a failure. Nothing could be farther from the truth. What is the truth? Suffrage is general in all of the States. There being some Negroes in every state, at every election, who vote and keep alive the vital principle involved of the right to vote as well as to be voted for. More: Outside of the Southern States, in every state of the Nation, the Afro-American citizen votes, if he wants to, and has his vote counted as voted. The Southern attitude, therefore, that the Negro is disfranchised, even in the Southern States, is without foundation in fact. The Greensboro (N.C.) Daily News exults in an editorial that Southern Senators do not "resent that the Constitution is not obeyed," in the matter of allowing the Negro to vote and be voted for. That is infamy enough for one newspaper. Mr. J. W. Johnson, in an article in the New York World, puts it up to the editor of the Greensboro News to justify his position which is not justified by law, not by the facts in the case as they obtain even in Norfolk. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce takes the position that, if the South expects the Negro to remain in the South, it must "provide him with better political conditions." So it must, along with the betterment of other conditions which make life worth living. We must have more respect for law in the South; respect for all of the citizens alike in all that makes for citizenship and the things worth while in citizenship, or we shall not be happy nor prosperous. --- The Mythical Ten We dare say many readers of the Journal and Guide have followed the weekly reports in our newspapers of the selection of the Ten Greatest Negroes under the auspices of the American Federation of Students; they have done this as a matter of curiosity as well as reasonable pride in the fact that we have produced enough people in the past and present from which to select such a group. The wisdom of selecting living men, however great for any conspicuous and permanent placement, has always been regarded as dubious business, because it never can be forecasted whether a great personage will die "with his honors full upon him" or in the penitentiary or on the gallows. It depends. The vicissitude of human life can never be determined with respect to any human life until it has ceased to be the plaything of Fortune. In the final selection of the Greatest Ten there are many surprises, five being dead and buried and five being alive and yet to round out the measure of their greatness. That George Washington Carver, who still lives should be selected as the first and Booker T. Washington as the ninth, will cause as much surprise as that Mr. Frederick Douglass, whose last name is invariably spelled with one "s." "the noblest Roman of them all."—greatest in sorrows, in preparedness, in oratorical, gifts and courage and in the example of his private life, should be named second, while Mr. Robert S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender, who has developed for us the greatest newspaper of race crime and scandal, should be named as the tenth. As to the other living four named, we need say nothing, except that they are doing a good work which we shall be unable properly to appraise until they have finished it. The only people who have been properly placed in the ten selected, as far as we are capable of judging, are Frederick Douglass. Madame C. J. Walker, Paul Laurence Dunbar, whose name is invariably spelled with a "w," and Booker T. Washington. The trouble appears to be in the Norfolk Journal and Guide crass ignorance of Negro history of the American Federation of Negro Students. Any group of the ten greatest Negroes which does not contain the names of Richard Allen, the founder of the African Methodist Church. Daniel Alexander Payne, James McCune Smith. John Mercer Langston, George W. Williams and Col. Joseph T. Wilson, the historians not to mention others, must be fatally defective, and misleading. The maudlin enthusiasm with which the selectors regard their work of selection is certainly admirable, to say the least. Recreation Facilities Again As yet nothing has come out of City Hall to indicate the attitude of the city government on the matter of recreation facilities for the colored people this summer, and nothing is being done by our own people to break the silence at City Hall. Much Council discussion has ranged around tourists sites, golf courses, etc., which appeal to the enjoyment of a favored few. but for the health and comfort of the plodders, particularly those of off-color, no voice has been heard. It is realized that picking out conspicuous defects in one's home city is not good advertising, but neither is a high death rate, poor health standards and low morality. And if the latter can be minimized by a concentration upon the former, no public spirited citizen can escape the moral obligation to shout upon the house-tops. Lafayette Park is supposed to be a public park and is maintained with public revenue and every colored citizen knows that he has the right to go there and enjoy its benefits whenever he pleases, so long as he conducts himself with proper decorum, but the attitude of the colored people is rather to a peaceable adjustment of wrongs inflicted in the name of Southern tradition. What is wanted now is recreation facilities, either the free use of City Park for the colored citizens—which by every right they are entitled to—or the providing of a suitable park for their use elsewhere. The health, happiness and comfort of women and children demand this much. Spirit of the Press The Negroes Make Progress From The CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE (Greenhill, N.C.) Last Tuesday 17,000 colored people gathered at Tarboro for their county commencement. Teachers and pupils of Edgecombe county to the number of 3,500 formed a parade one mile long. Cars were tastefully decorated for the parade, creditable exhibits were displayed in the fair buildings and both children and grownups were well behaved. The police reported that not a single arrest was made and no one was seen under the influence of liquor. Such days as this in the "black belt" of North Carolina prove that the colored people of the state are making remarkable progress and the behaviour of that immense gathering of Negroes all of whom were sober speak a volume for the success of prohibition in the state. Nick Chiles Flays Editors Nom: TOPKEA PLAINDELER "There are but few Negro editors in this country now, most essay writers and sensationalists looking for the popular side of an ignorant and misguided public to satisfy their whims and curiosities. There are no more such writers as T. Thomas Fortune, who was a moulder of opinion. Negro editors of today let the mob and galley slaves mould the opinions for their guidance. The Race is suffering much on this account." "Calvin Coolidge Is A Man." "The insistence of the President upon confirmation of Walter L. Cohen, as Comptroller of the Port of New Orleans, has at last brought about his acceptance by the United States Senate. Though again and again he was appointed, and each time failed of acceptance, he still remained the one and only choice of President Coolidge, and no compromise. It takes the mind back to the old Roosevelt days. How the race thrilled when Teddy insisted upon Crum's confirmation as Collector of the Port of Charleston." SHORT CUTS Mrs. Mayme Donovan, of St. Paul, Minn., a recognized leader among the women of our group, is a candidate for the State Legislature. That we have attractive, beautiful, bewitching and charming women is no news to us, and they are not all in New York. Georgia has the greatest number of colored carpenters, and is followed by South Carolina, Louisiana and Alabama. COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES By The CAMERAMAN 1. Fifteenth vs Eighteenth 2. Effects of Negro Migration—I. 3. At the Bar. The variation between actual enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution, which provides that "the right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude," and that "the Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this article by appropriate legislation," and the Eighteenth or "liquor" prohibition amendment, which also provides that "the Congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation," is as wide as the boiling point of a Farenheit thermometer. The first-named amendment has been successfully evaded in the South by state statutes of divers descriptions and, when the occasion positively demanded it, in order to dovetail with southern sentiment, by actual denial at the polls. Consequently, it is an old story which describes "Grandfather" clauses and "constitutional" tests where hundreds of thousands of qualified Negroes, according to the Fifteenth Amendment, are denied their vote. Furthermore it is a distressing truth that southern representation in Congress is so markedly unrepresentative and that every effort at Congressional enforcement, such as that made some time ago by the Hon. George Holden Tinkham, of Massachusetts, merely brings semi-consciousness to a nation and fails, for well known reasons, to bring about the desired result. From the time the Civil Rights Bill was declared unconstitutional, down to today, the pet of the South, the doctrine of States Rights, has developed to amazing proportions and wonderment as to when its growth will stop pervades the minds of all ardent respecters of the Constitution, On the other hand, millions of dollars are being spent annually in the attempted enforcement of the prohibition amendment. In spite of this, it is asserted that 25,000,000 gallons of liquor are annually dispensed to the American people for the price of $500,000; that to every 1,500 saloons, as of pre-Voltsead days, we now have 5,000 "blind pigs;" that 50,000 of America's 150,000 physicians issue 11,258,614 prescriptions for which they receive $22,536,938; and that 1,500 persons lose their lives annually from bootleg drops. What's the answer to this constitutional anomaly? (1) Prejudice, with no good reason behind it, in states where distranchised Negroes abound; and (2) Public Sentiment, the country over, in the case of liquor violations. In the latter case, however, "padlock" injunctions, fines and imprisonment are vigorously invoked. But in the former case, only once in a lifetime does some consistent lover of the Constitution endeavor to bring about a full performance of the Fifteenth Amendment. Which is the more important, that a citizen should lose his constitutional life or that a liquor vender's patron should suffer? The former, we think by all means. --- In response to inquiries received regarding an article entitled "Back of the Exodus," which appeared in this column a few weeks ago, we are taking this means of commenting upon some of the effects of Negro migration. In doing so, we are endeavoring without prejudice, to depart from any semblance of a scientific style of discourse. A southern senator recently said that, the South was largely dependent upon Negro labor. Quite true; and so emphatically true that the South is years behind in the use of modern farm equipment and machinery, such as are found upon the farmlands of the middle west. The South's theory has been "hand labor at low wages," and a minimum of protection and advancement for that labor. In the labor unions of the South Negro representation has been denied a voice, bringing about a condition of "taxation without representation," a minimum degree of enthusiasm in the Negro labor group, and a constant desire to abandon the land of cotton. When this desire has been consummated and the industrial efficiency of the South, already weakened by the neglect to keep modern, has waned. This situation has been plainly revealed in the discussions in Congress upon the subject of restricted immigration. The South, no more than the North, cares to bind itself up with foreign labor; for aside from the slow growth of the efficiency of the foreign worker, that class has an easier access to southern capital than it has in the industrial cities of the North, where it quickly becomes unionized and thus Saturday, May 10, 1924 becomes amenable to real American control and direction. Hence, the removal of Negro labor from the South is a menace so great that frantic efforts are being made to induce it to stay South. Thus increased school appropriations and improved housing conditions have been promised by southern employers who have been accustomed through long years, to deal with the Negro worker, despite the allegation that he is "worthless" and "shiftless." This is apparent in Birmingham iron and steel mills, where the Negro worker is a well known producer, and where, in many cases, much has been done to make him satisfied and a permanent worker. To be continued. Three colored young men have just passed the rigid examinations of the New York Board of Law Examiners for admission to the Bar, and they will forthwith receive their certificates of admission and take their places as advisers of clients, guides of justice, and officers of the court. Their happy advent as attorneys lead us to scan the records, and we find that of the 120,781 males and 1,738 females pursuing the professions of lawyers, judges and justices in the United States 950 are Negroes, of whom 4 are women. This is an increase of 172 Negro barristers over the number in 1910, and marks an advance of confidence and patronage on the part of clientele. The Negro physician was a long time coming to his own, largely because of the ill-founded antipathy which the brothren had for the colored medico; but his sailing is now fairly smooth and his practice a lucrative one. Even harder has been the lot of the colored lawyer who has had virtually three elements to combat, in many communities,--the Bench the White Bar, and his own people, many of the latter of whom have selflessly employed the Negro attorney's racial adversaries. The dawn of the general success of the colored Bar is undoubtedly breaking. Racial consciousness and racial interests are slowly bringing about a racial solidarity—not the kind that advocates restrictions, but the kind that believes in the open field of endeavor, and, which, recognizing its needs for group advancement, believes that charity begins at home. Trained men, honest men, in the legal profession need not much longer fear bench, bar or brother. The identity of all are becoming more and more co-ordinated, and the goal of all is the same—simple justice—complete justice, as prescribed by the law of the land rather than the custom of the people, of certain groups. VIEWS AND REVIEWS By THOMAS L. DABNEY Virginia Union University The discussion in Congress on the immigration bill brought to light some interesting things. It revived some old issues and showed the trend of Anglo-Saxon thought regarding the race problem. Congressmen used to stress the economic argument against immigration. Now that they have called to their aid the gruesome spectre of race prejudice. They are now emphasizing the racial element in the immigration problem. This is due in part no doubt to the vicious influence to of a group of young pseudo-scientists lead by Lothrop Stoddard. While Stoddard's book "The Rising Tide of Color" is little more than the ravings of an alarmist, it nevertheless has much influence among some whites. Along with Stoddard are such men as Madison Grant, Jerome Dodd, Franklin Giddings, and Earnest Cox all of whom are writing to support the idea of the superiority of the Nordic branch of the white race. The most scientific and logical speech that the writer has seen of those delivered in Congress is that delivered by Congressman Emmanuel Celler from New York Speaking in the House of Representatives on the tenth inst. he said: FAMILY TREES LIKE CEDNARY TREES "Many who have herefore spoken on the bill have boasted of their ancestry and have in glowing words referred to the Anglo-Saxon Saxons and wonderful family trees of some of the racial stocks now here. In answer I say most family trees are like ordinary trees; the best parts are under ground." Speaking further the Congressman shows that we are not truthful when we say we oppose immigrants from southern and eastern Europe because these immigrants are the hardest to naturalize. On this point he said: "These tabulations (speaking of immigration charts) now have the imprimatur of the Senate Immigration Committee. From which we find that the average stay of an immigrant in this country before he becomes naturalized is 10.6 years. How does that compare with reference to the immigration from south and eastern Europe? On this chart we find that those countries that are termed new immigration countries are yellow and those termed old immigration countries, like England and Germany are green. You will note that the Finlanders remain in the country 10.5 years; the Austrians, 10.5 years; the Danes, 10.2 years the Hollanders, 10.1 years, Hungarians, 9.9 years, Rumanians, 9.8 years; Russians and Poles, 9.6 years; Greeks, 8.6 years Turkey in Asia, 8.5; and Turkey in Europa 8.1 years. So, of these countries whose nations remain in this country less than the average period—and there are eleven of them—we find that only three Denmark, Holland, and Ireland, are from that part of Europe toward which this bill, we assume a sort of "benevolent neutrality," whereas eight of these countries—Greece, Russia, including Poland, Rumania, Hungary, Austrin, Turkey, in Asia Turkey in Europe—are the countries against which we bend most heavily if we pass this particular Johnson bill." SEES FALLACY OF RACIAL SUPERIORITY Relative to the old Nordic superiority idea Congressman said: "The fallacy of "Nordic supremacy" was made popular by one Madison Grant, who wrote a book called "The Passing of a Great Race." This book has had great vogue, and correspondingly it has created a great mischief. The opinions expressed in his book are most dangerous. The opinions are rendered more dangerous because they come from a man who has contributed a great deal to the subject of zoology. When he entered the realm of anthropology he was like a fish out of water. He was out of his element. "It is a dithyrambic praise of the blonde, blue eyed white and of his achievements; a Cassandric prophecy of all the ill that will befall us on account of the increase of dark-eyed types. "His argument is very much like the following: The 'Nordics' are superior. They are superior because they have a light skin, narrow skull, and blue eyes. All those who have a light skin, narrow skull, and blue eyes are superior. Therefore the 'Nordics' are superior. He assumes the very thing that he sets out to prove. His book is about as fine an example of dogmatic piffe as has ever been written." Congressman Celler speaks at length quoting from Boas' book, "The Mind of Primitive Man" to show how unscientific Madison's book is. He even takes the figures of the Army physical examinations which give a fine opportunity for the comparative study of race groups. These Mr. Celler quotes to show that the immigrant whom we fear will endanger our civilization are quite equal to the American original stock whatever that may mean.

Both Tub and Shower Baths Special attention given to Ladies and children Standard B JOHN II. BOONE A 632 Queen Street, Standard Barber S JOHN H. BOONE AND JOS. A. JONES 2 Queen Street, Norfolk, Elected Trustee of Many the time we hear Physical Cultivists spreading their paganism of physical exercise, nature's bad madness in seeking to attain physical perfection or a physique supreme. The phenomena are riding down the world with hammers gallantly streaming, hurling forth their mages, advice and encouragement. They are telling every man how to put on more weight and more flesh. But what's the use Nature has its disadvantage and hold back? It might sound funny but it's so take the fortunate soul who has things thrust upon him, who is all ways lucky enough to have one giving him something. And usually they are too small—never too large, because it might spoil the possibility of whitening them down to the desired proportion. Once there was a guy who became a friend of some culture and he found it to be a great loss to him. He was one of those lucky birds who always had somebody giving him something. He found that he never had to buy very many things. When he was wearing number 15 collars all was well. He hadn't bought a collar in ten years. But when he jumped in for that physical stuff and putting on more flesh, that's where the fun began. Trying to get a 15 collar on a 16½ neck was like trying to put number 44 B. V. D.'s on a baby elephant. That's what nature did—made him buy collars. Take the old man who's beard has grown down to the first button on his vest—he always gets flashy neckties for Xmas presents. When collars and ties mean nothing in sweet old life. Take the little man who wants to hug his fat wife. It takes two tape measures to go around his avoirdupois—what chance has he? There was a pocket book snatcher who's hobby was snatching the purses of fat women who couldn't run. He snatched one fat lady's pocket but when he snatched the pocket book she snatched him and sat on him until the police came. When she got up the poor fellow bills were carved in—nature was his hold back.
