Mt. Olive church building and the installation of a pipe organ are among the immediate plans of the new pastor and his congregation, and with the co-operative effort he is credited with receiving from his members it is believed that these plans will witness early realization.

CHUCH The First, United Presbyterian Church has just closed a very interesting series of meetings that clustered about the Spring celebration of the Holy Communion. The week preceding Communion on May 11th was a week of well attended preparatory services. Each night a different visiting minister gave the message. Either the church choir or a visiting choir rendered a very fine musical program in connection with the devotional services. The following ministers visited and gave messages that inspired the st. Joseph altar: Dr. Young, of the St. Joseph altar; Mr. E. Church; Rev. H. C. Miller, of the Ebony Presbyterian Church and the Ebony Presbyterian Church, and Rev. Roberts of John Brown's Memorial Church. Each afternoon the pastor, Rev. D. F. White, conducted meetings for children, which were enthusiastically attended by the children and their mothers. Eleven children expressed their love to Christ at these meetings and two were by their parents permitted to join the church. Dr. F. W. Wilson, principal of Phyne Institute, Chase City, Va., preached a very able sermon at the morning hour and administered Communion to the largest body of communicants that have ever sat at the table during the present pastorate. On last Sabbath the pastor began sermons on "The Ministry of the risen Christ," discussed on the Walk to Emmaus in a very helpful manner. The Y. P. C. U.

J., and the Juning Missionary Society. The public is cordially invited. WT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday was a day in Mt. Olive that will long be remembered by those in attendance. The 6 o'clock prayer meeting is a source of spiritual inspiration and many are availing themselves of the opportunity of beginning the Sabbath praise and adoration in these services. The S. S. has developed into a potential auxiliary and the story of 200 by July 1st is the hour. At the morning hour pastor, Rev. Johnson, preached in a powerful sermon from the text of Gen. 3:15, which electrified and amplified his congregation; and at the night service he again preached with a power that only the Holy Spirit can give, and one was happily occupied during the service. The B. Y. P. is progressing nicely and a program of great interest will be presented this Sunday at 5:30 p. m., during which time the male choir of Shiloh Baptist Church will sing and Prof. D. G. Jacox will speak from the subject, "The Three P.'s." The installation of the pastor is in full swing and some of the ablest divines, and some of the choirs of Tidewater will appear. ST. JOHN A. M. E.

"FOR THAT BEING FORMED IN HER, IS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT" But, WHAT is the Holy Spirit? This has been the Battle Ground through all ages. Learned (?) men understand the vitriole contensions, the incriminating debates, the ruthless expulsions and the foul murders which have sickened the people of the earth through all ages as they read these histories which give accounts of the activities of the early dignitaries of the church who called themselves, FATHERS. Since I am writing in answer to scholars who regard themselves very highly and too advanced in the arts and sciences to believe any longer in JESUS, only as a common man and son of Joseph, (and if their contention be just and true), Jesus is of the common stock of man, and hence, not SEPARATE from SINNERS! What MALPIC DIABOLISM! And, too, they are too scien-tical, too too historical lore, too bright in geology, zoology, astronomy and biology, etc., to believe any longer in the INERRANCY of the HOLY SCRIPTURES and can only regard them as Jewish and Christian MYTHOLOGIES, I repeat that, since I am writing in answer to men of such wonderful and prolific culture, it will not be necessary for me to expiate at any great length on the events in the cecasestial world during the early centuries of Christianity. Finally, they (the early fath-er) in CRED, and INVENTED "HOLY GHOST" meaning of course, the Holy Spirit, I say; THEY INVENTED AN HOLY GHOST ALTOGETHER TO THEIR (the early father's) LIKING. Where they have the power to employ men and women, these insane votaries would exclude from their factory or store all men and women who were not the kind of bigots they are. If posing as philanthropists, they would make donations to institutions nor render any aid of any kind to the heads of such institutions. "HOLY GHOST" is they have. They boycott men and women and their business and professions and by reason of so doing, very many needy men, women and children are allowed to see much suffering and want, while there are ample means to prevent these distresses. I have noticed advertisements in the newspapers for a Catholic maid and a Protestant cook; a Protestant caretaker and a Catholic butler. Now, let us suppose a large number of girls who are not Catholics to be in a maid as maids. We would, upon warning, By Columbus Maxwell more either, could not make them less! If they are hungry, why deny them brand! You will pardon my digression: I did go in the interest of what a cleaner elucidation of what I had previously said; "The spirit of their (god), the devil, is still in them and is to-day just what it was yesterday! They go about their inhumanities in a different way but they are inhumanities, nevertheless". AND AS I HAVE SAID: They invented an Holy God ALTOGETHER TO THEIR LIKING. But what kind of an HOLY GHOST did they Invent? From the Catechism of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (Formerly The Turner's Catechism) Revised and Improved from pages 7-8, I quote the following: 1. Ques. Are there more Gods than one? Answer: THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BUT ONE. 2. Ques. Are there more Persons in the God-Head than one. Ans. THERE ARE THREE PERSONS IN THE GODHEAD—the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY GHOST. 3. Ques. Is the Father, God? Ans. To us there is but one God, the Father. 4. Ques. Is the Son God? Ans. Christ is over all, God-blessed forever. He is the true God. 5. Ques. Is the Holy Ghost God? Ans. The Holy Ghost is "the Eternal Spirit." 6. Ques. In what names are Christians Baptized? Ans. In the name of the Holy Trinity—The Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. From Book 170, theological Dictionary page 170, article, "Holy Ghost," I quote us follows: "Holy Ghost," the third person in the Trinity. The Holy Ghost is a real and distinct person in the God-head. 1. Personal powers of rational understanding and will are ascribed to him. I Cor. 2:10, 11; 12:11; Eph. 3:4. 2. He is joined with the other two divine persons, as the object of worship and fountain of blessing; 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; John, 5:7. I quote again from Bucks Theological Dictionary, page 441, article "Trinity," as follows: "Trinity, the union of three in one; generally applied to the ineffable mystery of three persons in one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This doctrine is rejected by many because it is incomprehensible, but as Mr. Scott, observes, if distinct personality, agency, the divine person, the Scripture, are related to the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit, no word can more exactly express the doctrine which must unavoidably be hence inferred than those commonly used on this subject, viz., that they are three distinct persons in the unity of the Godhead.

Py Aisin Sabbatical Jubilee of the Virginia Baptists In the year of our Lord 1867, the Colored Baptists of Virginia formed themselves into an organization which took the name of The Virginia Baptist State Convention. In 1917 this Convention assembled in its fifteenth anniversary and celebrated the half century of its organic life under the caption, "Golden Jubilee." This celebration under the mastery leadership of Dr. Alexander A. Galvin caused a great awakening and sacred enthusiasm among Colored Baptists in particular, and Kingdom interest in general, and complete was the success, and so fruitful was the effort, the Convention voted to hold a Sabbatical Jubilee at the expiration of every seven years thereafter. The first Sabbatical Jubilee will be held on the grounds and in the buildings of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Virginia, June 24th through the 29, 1924. A few days, and we will find ourselves assembled on this auspicious occasion.

Our school alone needs this meagre amount; it is now costing us $100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars) in runnig expense and improvements per annum. We are appealing to every church whether it is a member of the Convention or not, and every individual interested in the salvation and education of the Black Man of America, to bring or send a donation. When you see the strenuous efforts we are putting forth, and the way God is wonderfully blessing these humble efforts, can you afford to play "hands off" or stand idle while a few faithful ones in consecrated a faithful verily sweat blood for this cause which is so worthy? Whether church or individual, if you cannot come, mail your contribution not later than the 18th of June to President T. J. King, 1005 North 4th Street, Richmond, Virginia, or Corresponding Secretary, M. C. Allen, A. B., Virginia Seminary, Lynchburg, Virginia. Any amount will be gratefully received and entered on the records from $1.00 upward. Let our business and fraternal organizations help in this worthy cause. Here is the basis of our appeal: (1) The Virginia Theological Seminary and College is the only Institute of its kind in the State and several adjacent states owned, operated and financed by Colored Baptists; the only expression of Colored Baptists interested in its own salvation and education; the only effort to make a distinct contribution towards world redemption through the medium of College and Seminary training. (2) This movement is no longer an experiment, it is already a success. Many of the ablest pastors on the field record this humble Institution as their alma-mater; thus, the Trustee Board and that principely educator, President R. C. Woods have proven themselves worthy of the confidence and sacred trust of all who have in any way aided this movement, or may yet do so thru (3) In an effort to provide accommodation for that large number of students who are being annually turned away from our doors, the Trustee Board and administration have made a large out-lay of money contracting a good heavy debt, and our creditors at the close of this session are expecting payment; and not pleas of poverty nor piles of excuses. Let us free the President from any such annoyance by bringing up our money and placing it on the altar. By the grace of God, I will meet you on Seminary Hill at nine o'clock Tuesday morning, June 24, with between $1,500 (fifteen hundred dollars) and $2,000 (two thousand dollars) from dear old Fifth Street.

Pretty Bungalows In Titustown Offerings of four room bungalows in Titustown for colored people are advertised in this issue of the Journal and Guide. These bungalows, which are offered for from $750.00 to $2000 each are said to be of an extra fine quality with ordinary conveniences.

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION BILL When this review was written the immigration restriction bill with its Japanese exclusion provision was in the hands of the State Department for study and preparation of a report to the President, and very likely before it is read President Coolidge will have indicated his attitude towards the bill. The colored race has borne discrimination on account of race for centuries. It has sipped of the bitter dregs of race hatred and chargrined and gallled under its venomous sting. For that reason, racial discrimination is a thing with which Negrees will not sympathize. For the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God they must stand, let those trample under foot such a principle who will. But for vitally important reasons it is hoped the President finds away to sign the restricted immigration bill, without giving needless offense to the Japanese nation, if possible. The present restricted immigration law has but a few weeks more to run. Congress is at present on hectic days, and should the new bill go back with a presidential veto and request for modification, whether it would be repassed before the expiration of the present law is a matter of conjecture. Of course, it would be a comparatively easy matter for Congress to extend the operation of the present law, but proponents of the new bill might even delay that process. It is the greatest concern of the race that there be no intervening period without restricted immigration. News dispatches from industrial centers of some sections of the North and West report a decline in employment and wages. A tidal wave of immigration which would certainly endeavor to squeeze through any opening in or lack of law would saturate the labor market to the serious detriment of thousands of colored workmen who are still an experiment in many industries. We entertain no ill-will toward the Japanese, nor any other race of people, but restricted immigration is imperative, without the Japanese exclusion provision if possible, but with it if that be the only way.

He went away as Floyd Darrow of the army; he came back as Floyd Darrow of Bradshaw. Those who had cheered him on his departure now forgot that they had cheered him. They only remembered that he was Floyd Darrow, undesirable townman. He came back early in February of the year after the Armistice was signed. About a month after his return his sister Maisie was married to a nice young fellow from Atlanta. It was the prettiest wedding ever staged in our district. Many people were there. Among them were Floyd and myself after the ceremony and the reception and everything. Floyd and I, just for the fun of the thing, sneaked away from the others and went, for a short auto spin. Floyd owned a fliver, you know; not a wonderful one, but a second-hand one which he had purchased cheap. It was in good repair and everything, so we decided to make a good spin instead of just a mere circle for a few blocks. So we rode a long way,—far out into the country. It was a March night but it was not cold. There was a good moon and a billion stars. It was like floating along on snowy clouds. We stopped at a little settlement named Greasywood. It was there Floyd purchased a flask of whiskey from a man everybody knew to be a bootleger—and winked at. It was very poor whiskey. I thought that because I had never drank any to speak of before that night. It was after 2 o'clock before we reached home, again Bradshaw was wrapped in slumber. The marriage bells had long ceased to ring. My father was --- and several race papers in a special article on John Brown written at the grave of the famous martyr which appeared recently in the Chicago Defender called attention to some remarks uttered by the famous abolitionist which apply with equal force to the people of to-day. With due credit to Mr. Pickens this reviewer will give you the article in full: By WILLIAN PICKENS . (At John Brown's Grave, May 9.) North Elba, N. Y.—Today marks the 124th anniversary of the birth of John Brown, whose life, and especially whose death, brought the American hosts who opposed slavery face to face with those who defended slavery. On this day nearly 65 years after his martyrdom, a John Brown Memorial association of Philadelphia is advocating the building of a monument to his memory. More than half a century afterward most sane men admit that John Brown was right; that slavery was an evil not to be compromised with, but to be destroyed. The cause, of liberty and civilization has been from time to time in human history pushed forward by the man who was willing to offer his life as a sacrifice to the forms of law and the power of organized society in order to open men's eyes to the more fundamental law of conscience and of God. "His Life a Protest" "His Life a Protest" It is familiar history today how John Brown's whole life, from his birth in New England to his death on a Virginia gallows, was a protest and a warfare against human slavery. It was not the Negro that he loved. It was slavery that he hated. And unlike many others he would not compromise with brutal wrong on the shallow excuse of color. He planned and plotted and worked and fought and bleed until he made Kansas free, and then from the mountains of what was then northwestern Virginia he struck a mighty blow at the almost almighty slave power. In prison and on the scaffold he was as steadfast and unchangeable as the God in Whom he believed. He died and his immortal soul inspired a million men to accomplish the work which he dared with a handful of men to attempt. It was not his purpose to shed blood or to arouse the slaves to bloody deeds against their owners. But it was his purpose to free the slaves with as little cost as possible, but at whatever cost. He never struck a man or beast a blow that violated his own conscience. But he regarded freedom and liberty, even the liberty of his weaker fellow men, as worth the price of his life. He knew that organized might, when it is opposed, never excuses failure in its opponent, and he knew that those (Continued on Page 11) waiting up for me. He did not question Floyd but after Floyd had gone, he beat me terribly. All the hatred that he had ever entertained for Floyd—the hatred that had mellowed somewhat during the war—returned to him with added vigor. That night he acted like a mad man. For weeks after that I was not permitted to leave my door. For weeks I was the victim of blows and curses. I tried to tell him that Floyd had played the gentleman throughout that evening, had treated me with all the respect and courtesy that a man can extend to the woman who trusts him, but he would not believe me. So earnestly did I plead Floyd's cause that finally, one night, my father turned on me with abuse and blows and drove me out of his house with the knowledge that he was done with me forever. All that night I hovered at our front door. When the air grew too chill I sought shelter in a little out-building. Next morning I tried to plead with him, reason with him, but he drove me away. He called in the neighbors to witness that he was no longer responsible as my father. It was the worst blow that I had ever received. "I sought shelter among the people who had always been friends of ours—the folks that attended our church—but they gently and firmly told me that it would be impossible for them to take me in now as I ha dearned the disaprobation of my parent. Iturned to my younger friends—those whom I had come up with—but they rejected me viciously. It was not because of my father that these rejected me—it was because of my regard for Floyd Darrow. Now what else was there for me to do? I had no money and no place to sleep. I had to do something. So I went to Maisie—a bergar. "As I told you before, she had married a very nice young man from Atlanta. He was far different in appearance and manners to the average Bradshaw beau. He possessed unusual 'intelligence' When Maisie explained our childhood friendship to him, and asked him to allow me to make my tem- NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1924 porary home with them, he did not reject the petition. In fact, he was very gracious about it. So I went to live with Maisie. "In the eyes of my former friends my decision to dwell with Maisie was steeped in folly. Not that they had anything against Maisie—she was highly thought of—but because of the fact that Floyd Darrow was her brother. I did not begin to realize the tenor of their thoughts until it dawned upon me that Floyd was a frequent visitor at his sister's house. Of times he would take his meals there, paying for them. He claimed he did this to help his sister along. When he dined there he naturally ate at the same table and at the same time that I did. These meals only occurred once or twice a week at first, but after a little he began to eat all of his meals there. This, of course, called for many visits. He was a guest in our house as often as three times a day. "You must understand how I felt. You must have some idea of what the neighbors were saying! I tried to make him look at it from that angle but he had reached the stage where he did not care what folks said about him so long as they did not attempt to lay violent hands upon his person. He merely laughed at my suggestions—not in a disrespectful manner—but in the way of a man embattered. I argued and reasoned with him for a period to no avail, so finally I grew weary of it and in time reached that level where, like himself, I did not care. It was then that we began to believe everything was against us, and the only way for us to secure anyhappiness at all was to cling together in love. We would live for each other only. In the Spring we planned to migrate to a Northern city where we could live our lives unmolested by poison tongues and rankling hearts. We vowed to be as one forever. I do not believe Maisie's husband to it very well but he did not protest. He ignored us as people are supposed to ignore lovers. He was very, very tolerant on that score. "After a while Floyd went to another state to work on a public job as lucrative work was scarce in Bradshaw at that time. It was after his departure that the poison tongues began to wag. The very atmosphere was thick with rumors and gossips, and I was the target. Had it been almost any other girl in that village—one of the little unlettered creatures that had never been away to school and had never acquired that enviable town polish—it would have been different. Those girls are not expected to know. But I was educated, refined, the daughter of a bigoted man who stood well with the white folks, and of course these snobs and toadies were holding me up as high as they could as an example of what can befall a girl when she allows her own conscience to guide her love affairs. "But I could not ignore the stories altogether. I sensed the preoccupation of my position. So believing Floyd to be my only true friend, I wrote a letter to him, urging him to come back to me, as my need for him was very great. Manlike, he took his time about returning. He was making good money and did not want to leave so abruptly. I wrote other letters and prayed for his return. Meanwhile my ill-wishers were mocking me with their tales and gossip. Once I had a notion to appeal to my father but I knew that would be useless. "Finally, however, Floyd returned. As he walked from the little depot to his sister's residence, the natives stared at him leeringly. Reaching me, he demanded to know why I had sent for him so hurriedly. I told him without reserve. He was a trifle dumbfounded at first, sort of knocked out, but he was a gentleman. He promised me that he would stop these wagging tongues and then we would go North and never return. (To be continued next week.) "PROMOTED" A keen, gray-eyed gentleman, who looked as though he might have reached the half century mark, graciously offered me his paper as I sat down in the smoker. "I'm tired of reading of handistry, divorce courts and political scandal," he said, looking a trifled bored. "Grafters and other get-rich-quick artists seem to have almost pushed useful men off the map. And the papers nowadays rarely carry any news of the fellows who work themselves up from the bottom of the ladder," he added, with a faint spike. "Well," I replied, as I eyed his expensive broadcloth suit and wondered whether he was a banker or a corporation president, "maybe you don't come in contact with the people who plug along. Perhaps—" Just then the brakes ground down savagely, and with a jerk the heavy Pullman came to a halt in front of the waiting room of a station. Before I could continue, our attention was diverted to a group of colored gentlemen who were loudly cheering one of their comrades, who was about to board the train. As he stepped beneath one of the station are-lights, I was surprised but glad to see my old friend, Dr. Jones, who was the object of a hearty farewell which was being tendered him by a delegation of his associates. "What's it all about? Who is it?" inquired my m j d i l e - a g e d friend, as he peered out of the car window at the colored physician. ATTENTION!

The Largest Negro Life Insurance Company in the World "That is Dr. A. W. Jones, President of the National Medical Society," I answered quickly, with a deal of pride. "Dr. Jones?" mused my friend. "His face is familiar. Thought I knew most of the colored people on this run, but I don't seem to remember Dr. Jones." "Oh, he doesn't live here. He's located in New York. His society's had its mid-winter meeting, and I presume he's on his way back home. Here, you can read all about it in this paper," I continued, with a laugh, handing him a Negro newspaper, as the heavy train started up. "And, by the way," I added in secret glee, "you'll find that the men whose names are listed on that program are the kind you just wanted to read about—men who worked up from the bottom of the ladder." "Dr. Jones—Dr. Jones!" It seems as though I've seen him before. Say, won't you be kind enough to hand him my card and ask him to come here for a moment. After I had found my physician friend and exchanged first-hand greetings with him, I told him that Mr. John J. Scott, vice president of the Interstate Bankers' Association, wished to speak to him. "John J. Scott! I'm surprised that he remembers me, after all these years, though I could never forget him," said the doctor as I ushered him into the smoker. "Pardon me," said the hanker, as he arose and shook hands with Dr. Jones, "but your face is so very familiar that I wondered if I knew you." "I certainly hope you haven't forgotten me, for I shall never forget you," answered th doctor, graciously. "But where have we met before?" "Right on this same train, on which I was porter for over seven years. And the tips which I received from you and others of your generous habits, when added together, went a long way towards paying my expenses at the medical school," responded the physician, with a grateful smile. "Now, I well remember you," replied Mr. Scott, and I used to think then, that a man who was as efficient a porter as you were, would be equally as efficient in a higher field of endeavor. Little did I dream, though that the same thought was in your mind, and that I would meet you again when you had attained the foremost ranks, not only of your own race, but of all people. Doctor, I congratulate you," concluded the bank official, as he sat down visibly moved by the renewed acquaintance.

When fat juicy fresh croakers are selling for 10 cents a pound to seven pounds for a quarter, prices such as have prevailed in Norfolk this spring, it is just like getting manna from above, he continued. Do you know that is one of the real blessings of this town, and one of the things that makes me prefer it to the cities the migrants are flocking to, this man went on. Quite a number of people in this city have thought like this family man, for it is a treat to be able to get a plentiful supply of fine fresh fish at bottom prices such as can be had here. Beautiful spots are the prevailing species on the market now with plenty of croakers hanging on and trout in abundance. No, there is no hard times when the fish season is open, and then some one has said they are brain food; maybe, but those of us who through necessity make them a daily dish don't seem to develop brain power enough to make it possible for us to conveniently substitute them for a more luxurious dish.

Norfolk may not be in the lead in this matter, but it certainly is not bringing up the rear. A Monday morning Police Court most any week will convince the observer that the same disease prevails in this city. When a woman or a man is an outcast, they are an outcast, and it probably makes mighty little difference whom they select of their own level for companions, but the peculiarly interesting thing about it is that it is always the colored woman and the white man, never the opposite, at least not before the courts. They say that there is honor among thieves—but of social derelicts among our race, it seems that as much can not be said. A young colored woman in company with a young man wsa windo shopping along Church St., one day last week. When they came to a certain store where ladies' hose are sold her companion suggested that they go in and look at the stock. 'No,' she said, "I won't buy anything from that ole colored man." The proprietor of the store was standing in front of his place and heard the remark. He was somewhat shocked, but not surprised. About the only difference in this woman and thousands of others was that she said what she thought, while they think the sameing and act the same thing, they are not outspoken with it. Maybe, she had good reasons for her remarks, but I suspect that it was the same old thing with which every Negro business man is familiar. It is a discouraging situation to reflect on, but that is the race's problem and one it must solve.

The National Association for the Advancement of Public People, to public a letter from John W. Weeks, U. S. Secretary of War, reporting that the prison sentence of every former member of the 24th Infantry still imprisoned for alleged participation in the Hongston Riot of 1917, had been reduced, and that according to the present revisions of sentence, every one of the men will have been eligible for release over the years from now and seven more from now. The letter from the Secretary of War to the N. A. P. said. In harmony with the understanding with you, I am furnishing you the following information relative to the so-called Houston visitors: Of the fifty-four of these men who were in confinement in the penitentiary when the board of officers visited that institution, thirty were serving life sentences. As the result of the recommendations of the board of officers, made after a most careful and exhaustive investigation and consideration of each case on its individual merits, ten of the thirty men under life sentences have receive a reduction in their sentences that will make them eighteen for the reelection parole during the calendar year 1925, and the remaining twenty have received reductions from life to thirty-five years, which will make seventeen of them eligible for home parole in 1927, and four of them eligible for home parole in 1928. "In passing upon these case-case great weight was laid upon the evilance presented at the trial and the condensed in confinement of the priests concerned; and the inves "As this recent investigation has resulted in reductions in sentences in every case of the so-called House rioters, with the exception of six who are eligible for parole no later than August, 1924, and as the latest date (under the modified sentences) on which any prisoner will become eligible for home parole is August, 1928, it is considered that the War Department has been most liberal in its treatment of the prisoners. "Under a rule of the War Department governing the subject, the case of every military prisoner is considered for enlistment at once a year; and neither the recent investigation by the officers, nor any taken upon its recommendation, will preclude the consideration annually of the one of the prisoners involved." In making public this report, the A. A. C. P. made the following statement: "To summarize the above letters the facts, in brief, are: 18 of the Houston Martyrs are eligible for immediate release; 16 of them, 16 serving life sentences and 6, long terms—will he be eligible for release within a year; 16 will be eligible for release early in and the remaining four early in 1925, or three years later seven months from now. The men were committed to Stevenworth Prison in December, 1917 and have thus committed six years and five months. "While the results obtained thus far are not all that was hoped and worked for, nevertheless there is cause for rejoicing in that thus, who have the longest sentences yet to serve have only three years and seven months."

Elizabeth City, N. C., May 21.—What is regarded by a number of progressive colored citizens of eastern North Carolina as offering a splendid opportunity to race people in surrounding territory to acquire excellent beach and seashore property is found in the announced plans of the Burnside Beach Development Company to Develop Burnside Beach as an exhilarating summer resort. The development company is composed of a group of prominent business and professional colored men of this city and section with headquarters here. Their project is the natural outgrowth of a demand by colored people hereabouts for a suitable tract for seashore homes and pleasurable and invigorating recreation near the ocean during the summer months. Barside Beach is situated on Roanoke Island, 45 miles from this city, facing the waters of Cranston Sound. It has a fine natural beating, bathing and fishing directly on the island; however, where the United States Government has several hundred thousand dollars in improvements, it lies directly in one of the most frequented patch paths from northern waters to Florida. Nearby is Nags Head, one of the leading summer resorts on the cost and still reater are many lighthouses and Coast Guard stations. Surrounded With History Ranombe island and Burnside Beach are surrounded in a halo of history extending back to the founding of Colonists on the island in 1584-85 through the stirring days of the Civil War when General Ambrose Burnside captured the spot, making it headquarters for himself and troops and virtually converted Ranombe island into a refuge for colored freedmen. Nearby the battle of Ranombe Island was fought and one of the forts General Burnside captured from the Confederate forces is on the property being developed. It is planned to locate many houses on the site of this When this property is developed it is believed, it will be the finest resort for colored people found on the Atlantic coast. The development company's plans include making all the lots large enough for all purposes; to open wide streets through the tract to connect with roads, and leading to Mile 100 and one and a half miles away, and with the proposed state highway which connects with all the historic spots on the island; a steamboat wharf with daily sailings of boats from the resort to Elizabeth City and Manteo. The island, already, has two steamer lines direct to Norfolk, Va. Within a few hundred yards of Bristol Beach are three of the finest rural colored churches and not far away is an excellent rural school. In this section of the state the opportunity offered to colored people at Burnside Beach to acquire at a moderate cost locations for summer homes is believed to have never before been equalled, and it is felt that such an opportunity is not likely to again present itself in the near future. Headquarters of the Burnside Beach Development Company is located at 501 Pennsylvania Avenue, this city. Mr. F. W. M. Butler, vice-president of the Albermarle Bank and Mr. W. S. Bowser are two of the officials. CHAPEL HILL Chapel Hill, N. C.—Following an interesting Sunday school, Rev. E. D. Howell preached an excellent sermon from the subject, "Escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed." B. Y. P. U. was held at five o'clock and the topic was interestingly discussed by Messrs. C. W. Alexander, L. J. Rowsome, A. W. McCluse, Jr., Mr. T. W. Tatlam and Rev. A. W. Mizell. Selections were sung by the Junior Boys and the Star Quartette. C.

Richmond, Va., May 22—The first regular session of the Virginia State Association, Independent Benevolent Protecting Order of Elks of the Wold was held at the Williams Lodge Home in this city May 11-13. Although the first event of its kind among Virginia Elkdom, the reports state that it was indeed a success, which it is believed will have a far-reaching effect in lining up lodges that had no representation at this initial meeting for future sessions. Very constructive plans and purposes of the association were outlined and indications are that the organization is built upon a firm foundation. Elks took abode of the administration of the district and their masterly handling of its details stirred the members and delegates to enthusiasm. The business manner in which the first session of the state association of Elks was conducted and the manifested interest in general race improvement offset in a great measure the prevailing impression that Elks, in the most part, are sports and their conventions are usually for the entertainment and diversion of those able to attend them. Among the cities that represented at this meeting were Norfolk with delegates from its two lodges; Berkley, Portsmouth, Smithfield, Dendron, Farmville, Newport News, Phocus, Petersburg, Hampton and Richmond. Mr. M. S. Lowery, of Hampton, was the instigator and prime mover in inaugurating the movement. Many distinguished Elks were present among whom were Mrs. Emma V. Kelly, of Norfolk, chairman Daughters Organization, an auxiliary to the State Association, who also presented Eureka Temple; Mr. George E. Wibecan, of Brooklyn, P. G. E. B, and now an adopted son of the Virginia State Association; Mr. S. B. Noble, of Norfolk; Mr. Alexander Johnson, associate secretary of the association, who was appointed master of social session; Mr. W. M. Man, who received the appointment of legal adviser; Dr. S. B. Wilson, chairman of the advisory board; J. Henry Cromwell, state secretary; Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, Annapolis, Md., Grand Daughter Ruler and many others. Monday was the gala day of the meeting.

Cities Expand Recreation Facilities for Colored Population. New Yory' N. Y., May 21—Never before have the public opportunities of colored people for outdoor recreation and social good been so extensive, announces Playground and Recreation Association of America, which has just issued its summary of facts concerning public recreation in America during 1923. Two hundred and thirty playgrounds and recreation centers, about one twenty-eighth of the total number of 6,601 such centers reported by cities throughout the country, are maintained for the exclusive use of Negroes. The special playgrounds are provided so that the colored people will have the fairest chance to benefit by the city's expenditures for play and so that in neighborhoods of colored people there will be more recreation facilities. In addition, cities report that many playgrounds and other recreation facilities are in use by colored people as well as white people. GREAT HEALTH VALUES Commenting on the value of these increased recreation facilities in furthering Negro health and progress, the Association says, "Public recreation facilities are especially needed by Negroes, who as a rule can get, no recreation except the expensive and often degrading commercialized and often leaderless training colored children and young people in team work and good citizenship." There is still a great need for organized play among Negroes, states the Association. Hundreds of Negro neighborhoods are without recreation centers and thousands of colored children have no safe place to play. The Association has long been trying to cite the importance of providing recreation for their colored citizens. It maintains a special staff of Negro recreation specialists to help cities organize such recreation. One of these, Miss Ada Cogman, has organized dramatic groups among colored people all over the country. Another, Mf. George L. Johnson, has organized a number of colored communities, their cities the beauty of Negro spirituals as sung by large colored groups. Of the 250 play places for colored people, 178 are playgrounds for colored children, reported by 9 cities. The remaining 52 are community recreation centers maintained for the use of colored adults in 12 cities. "In 1921, 68 cities reported playground for colored children; in 1922, 70 cities," says the Association, "so the 1922 total of 89 cities shows encouraging progress. Cities were asked to report on recreation centers for colored adults for the first time in 1923." Macon, Ga., recently appropriated 81,000 for a playground for colored people. Indianapolis, Ind., has set aside for the recreation of her colored people a tractor as Douglas Park, equipped with baseball diamonds, hockey goal, pitching court, swimming pool, built at a cost of 870,000. Colored play leaders are in charge. The Board of Park Commissioners in Terre Haute, Indiana, last year gave special attention to the recreation of colored citizens by equipping a piece of ground in an undeveloped park as a Negro playground. In Ottawa, Kansas, the use of the high school building, including the gymnasium, is given to the colored people one night each week throughout the year. A volunteer conducts activities for the colored group. The colored people of Plainfield, N. J., under the direction of the City Recreation Commission, have organized the Plainfield Recreation Association to afford more opportunities for wholesome recreation for the city's Negro population. Last summer this Association financed the last four weeks of the season, the city funds proved insufficient to keep it running. Kalkanazoo, Michigan Dodge Community House is the center of social life for the Negroes of the city and its influence also extends cut into the country. DANVILLE, VA. Danville, Va.—Warm was the welcome, the Baracca members of Calvary Baptist S. S., received, when they entered the palatial residence of Mr. and Mrs Marshall Harragues, 1245 W. Paxton St., as invited guests, for the purpose of holding their monthly class meeting. President C. Hugo Grasty, after prayer by Chaplain C. C. Gill, opened the meeting for business by calling for unfinished work. It resulted in the giving of the report of a anniversary by President G. W. Vincent and Business Manager O. A. Bickert. At the request of the president, Bro. O. A. Patrick outlined a financial plan for the raising of more funds for the treasury. The plan was adopted and consisted of the appointment: 10 men, captains each one having a certain amount to collect. The members present were made to feel exceedingly glad over the return of Mr. Johnson Jackson to the fold. Mr. Jackson, like the new members, Bros. Burrell and J. C. Foster, spoke with enthusiasm, giving verbal pledges to be with Baracca in heart, spirit and fianc- e. The President G. W. Vincent, occupying the President's chair, called for the annual address of C. H. Grasty. Mr. Grasty began his efforts by impressing upon his hearers the necessity of co-operation, unity and the bearing of our own burdens without shifting them to others. He assured all that there was work enough for each and every individual. As the address progressed the speaker became more forceful laying great stress upon the necessity of accurate and complete statements of all monies received and paid out, all members, their addresses, their financial standing as class members, and all data pertaining to meetings, insisting that these successfully accomplished were some of the paramount reasons for the ambitious achievements of any organization. He pleaded with the Baracco to go forward telling that servant labor was he complimented and in sincerity related the worthy aid given by his followers, who have given new ideas, new zeal and never said no when asked to help. The old veterans of the Baracco, though young in age, came in for praise. Vice President G. W. Vincent, never tiring always ready for service. C. C. Gill, though fat, is not winded and always willing. Our Business Manager, O. A. Patrick, who has not equal in ability or service, he is called the power behind the thrope. W. B. Muse, who so scholarly teaches the Baracca every Sunday morning. Bro. James Stamps, who never misses sessions, an ardent worker and others. At the finish it was the unanimous opinion that the all inspiring address had the desired effect upon the listeners. It was appealing for its frankness, effective because of its eloquence. It included a clean definite and ambitious program for the future. Superimax at the request of W. President Vincent responded very fittingly. After a most tasteful repast, the Baracca left at an early hour for their homes. Speaking o the repeat, Bro Vincent in thanking the host and hostess, voiced the sentiments of the crowd, said, he was ready to come again. DENDRON Dendron, Va.—Rev R. L.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE HEAVY RAINS PUT CHECK ON STATE CROPS Virginia Crop Service Reports Considerable Damage In Shenandoah Valley; Floods Inundate the Low Lands. Richmond, Va., May 17.—Farm work, which had made excellent progress during the first week of the month, was stopped by the heavy rains of the past week, according to the Virginia Crop Reporting Service. In the Shenandoah Valley and Central Virginia the rains caused considerable damage by washing fields and flooding lowlands. Planting is now approximately ten days later than usual. Only a small percentage of the corn crop has been planted, and owing to the recent rains this work cannot be resumed at least for a week. In many cases land that had been prepared for planting was washed or packed so badly that the fields will have to be burrowed again. The wheat crop has made some improvement since the first of the mouth, but in many sections there has been too much moisture and the plants have a yellow and sickly appearance. The outlook for hay crops is unusually good, as above and grass have made excellent growth. In the southern counties crimson is ready to be harvested. Pastures are making splendid progress. Potato Crop Favorable In the early commercial section the white potato crop is making favorable progress, but growth is still somewhat backward. The stand is generally much better than had been expected, and on the Eastern Shore is unusually good. The work of setting sweet potato plants has commenced in the commercial districts. Tobacco plants are reported to be plentiful and in good condition. Planting has started in the southern counties; but little progress has been made owing to unfavorable weather conditions. Only fifty per cent of the cotton crop has been planted as this work has been retarded by the cold, rainy weather that are up show the need of dry, warm weather. 'Penult planting is just commencing.' Fruit prospects are generally very good. There was a heavy apple bloom except in some sections of the Shenandoah Valley. It is still no early to make an investment but east of the Blue Ridge the fruit seems to be setting well. Peaches promise an excellent crop in all sections of the state. Strawberries are ripening in the Southern counties, and shipments will be moving in volume with a few days. Cattle have been improving since the 1960s. In a few sections there is an improvement in the labor situation as compared with last year. Come and communicate with the flowers. Their Association is pure and holy.

Rumble, a successfu! ‘and well known nianofaeturey of Bue fool products. , In stating the reason for his candidacy, Mr. Rum- ble is suoted by The News as hav ing said: “The inflax of colored people to the North is due to their unprotected rights in the South, ‘The Negro of the North should at ‘all times ‘use Whatever power is ‘at his disposalsto extend a pro- ‘tecting arm to the southern Negro. ‘This power will have a tendeney [to heck the ontush from _ the South at a time when the farmer is in demand.” " He then takes up the European money situation and suggests that shen their money jg stabilized so that the medium of exchange will be attractive to ‘Ameriean exporters, the European nations will draw largely upon this country for thelr raw’ tnaterials such as cotton, gFains, meats, hides ete,, products that are raised to a vast extent by colored farmers in the South, Southwest and Middle West. Continuing, Mr. Rumble sald: “If the Negroes were bet- ter vepreseated in Congress from the northern states by men hav- ing a thorough knowledge of the situations that affect them in all parts oft the country, ‘their busi- hess connections would give them prestige that ‘would have its good effect, Men to earry these ideas fo & suceeasful issue ate not al- PANTEGO Pantego, N..

Jolin Brown knew that “who would be free themselves must strike the blow,” and he gave ad- vice to the Colored people of his ‘day which is still good for handi- capped and struggling people of all races and all days, when he said: “Nothing so charms the ‘American people as personal brav- ‘ery.

Harry Wills, "The Black Panther of New Orleans," is still on "the long, long trail" of the elusive Jack Dempsey. Now they say the two will mix it September 6. Not, however, if Mr. Dempsey can side step it. We shall see. President Coolidge appears to have all the necessary votes to get the nomination on the first ballot at the June convention of the Republican party, at Cleveland. Senator Hiram Johnson of California has faded from the political map, effaced. Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee, senior bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal, at the age of 84 years, has retired from the active work of his office. No man in his connection at this time has rendered a longer and better service than Bishop Lee. He deserves the retirement and the leisure to round out his useful life which he has attained to. The scramble for the high office of bishop of one or the other of our great Methodist bodies has grown to be so impressive as look like strivings in the nomination conventions of the two great political parties. On the face of it the scramble is scandalous. The office should seek the man; not the man the office. But that was long ago, if ever, in the Church and State. The Bible Society had its 108th anniversary in New York recently and reported that the annual issue of the Bible exceeded 7,000,000 volumes, more than one half of these volumes being demanded by the Orient. They say there is an ever increasing interest in the Bible, which now is circulated and read in 174 languages and dialects, of which 100 are in the United States. Who would have thought the 100 languages and dialects are spoken in this country? When they all speak the English language will that make them "Nordics of the 100-per-cent sort?" Evading Our Responsibility Wholesome recreation is a proved health and moral stimulant, and the efforts of the people of Norfolk to continue the projection of a forward movement having for its purpose the increase of recreation facilities here will in time redound greatly to the community's benefit. A city which does not in these times include ample recreational advantages in its public health program is adjudged to be sadly unprogressive. But the outstanding defect with the movement in Norfolk is that as yet it has not taken a direction which in any of its phases gives promise of touching the lives of the colored people, who constitute one-third of the city's population. Of the numerous proposals before the Council looking toward the establishment of more playgrounds, parks and recreation centers of divers character, there is not one that contemplates anything adjacent to a colored neighborhood. On this score an inexplicable and shameful lethargy bears down on the representative colored people of the city. Director of Public Welfare Schenck on previous occasions has stated that the greatest difficulty in making recreation facilities available to the race population of Norfolk is the finding of suitable location within convenient proximity to the largest number of Negro families. He has also passed the suggestion that interested colored people should exert themselves to find such a location, indicating a willingness on his part to endeavor to have the city acquire and equip it as a unit of the public health program. Within a few weeks the city will be in the girl of hot weather, and there is not a single public park near a colored neighborhood, where sweating mothers and babies may repair for an hour or two and escape the stiffed atmosphere of stuffy tenements; nor where growing boys and girls may go and engage in wholesome play free from the danger of street accidents. No baseball diamond for the division of race lads, and the laborer at the end of his day must find the recuperating breezes on the stoop of his home in a dust laden street. This backward state of affairs presents a shameful commentary upon the city of Norfolk, and one for which the responsibility rests heavily on the colored people themselves. Governments move under the will of the people, and so long as certain groups and sections of the people have no will to express government officials give ear to those who have and are expressing a will. If there is apparent slight in the distribution of benefits the remedy will generally be found lodged with those affected. No doubt if we should arouse ourselves from our lethargy and seriously concern ourselves about the welfare of our women and children, the sentiment of the white people would meet us more than half-way. Anyhow, the effort is worth the trying and the moral obligation involved demands that it be tried, and that without delay. Editorial Page of Flogging Our Men and Women It is not a matter of encouragement to the race that the disposition to intimidate, flog and mob men and women of the race by irresponsible white persons, should continue to crop out, and that the lawful authorities do not show the proper public spirit in, seeking out and bringing to punishment those guilty of the outrages. It is not a matter of encouragement to the race that the disposition to intimidate, flog and mob men and women of the race by irresponsible white persons, should continue to crop out, and that the lawful authorities do not show the proper public spirit in, seeking out and bringing to punishment those guilty of the outrages. In the same issue of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE, May 10, we published three news statements of related interest. Miss Elizabeth Webb, of Brenau College, at Gainesville, Ga., speaking at the biennial session of the Young Women's Christian Association, at Springfield, Mass., said that "student meetings in the South are rapidly dissipating race prejudice," and that "Young people in the South are beginning to realize that hatred for people just because they are black is unnecessary and un-Christian like." On the same page we carried a statement of the kidnapping and flogging of Dr. W. H. Brummett, a prominent physician of the race, at Talledega, Ala., with a notice to leave town in thirty days, by a small moll of white men, his offense being that "the practiced among white persons." On another page we carried the story of the kidnapping and flogging of Mrs. Alice Thomas, a hardworking mother of four children, by six white persons, at Spartanburg, S. C., the provocation being that she "talked." Mrs. Thomas recognized some of her tormentors and they were arrested and held by a local magistrate. If they are convicted and punished it would have a mighty good effect on overworked "good relations." The Interracial Commission, and all of the active agencies working for good race relations in the South, have a tremendous, but far from impossible task, in hand. The white Christian people of the South, the business and professional white people, the editors and lawmakers, have the matter of respect for law and law enforcement in their charge, as they should make the public opinion of the South. The rowdy, vulgar, lawless white minority would not long continue their dirty work of creating strife and confusion, fear and terrorism, if the white Christian, law respecting people would assert themselves as the dominant public opinion of the time and place. The peace and prosperity of the South depend upon such an assertion all along the line. Shall we have it?

It has often been said, and there was much truth in the saying, that the people of Indiana and Ohio take to politics as they do to any other business, and that they begin to be interested in and study the political game in the kindergarden stage of their education. We do not say that it is so, but from our reading and observations we conclude that there is much truth in the saying. That is to say, in short, the people of Indiana and Ohio are interested in the administration of public affairs in a larger and more active way than the citizens of most of the other states, and whichever party is in power at Washington they manage to get a very large share of the smallest and biggest offices. It is a good thing to be interested in the administration of public affairs. The right to vote and to be voted for goes hand in hand with the right to be taxed and enjoy, equally the benefits of taxation. Indiana is one of the doubtful states. Normally it is Republican, but if the party does not pull straight the people are not afraid to vote it out of power. They do the same thing with the Democrats. It is a question of good and honest administration with them as it should be with the citizens of each of the states. Parties are necessary in our system of government, but they are the servants and not the masters of the people; the people make them, they do not make the peole. Just now the Republicans of Indiana are in a bad way. Governor McCray has been convicted and sentenced to ten years in a Federal prison, and to pay a fine of $10,000, for using the mails to defraud. As he left the Executive office for Atlanta prison the Republican primaries came along, and Mr. Edward Jackson supported by the Klu Kux Klan, led all of the other candidates and received the nomination for Governor. The thing has upset all of the political slates in Indiana and has got the politicians of all parties in Washington by the ears. It was not expected that the Klan would be able to capture the Republican party and the Democrats of the State have decided to make the campaign issue Klan domination of the Republican party. The Negro Republicans of Indiana are way up in the air. They may get their hearing before the election, but just now they don't know where they are. Neither do we. Robeson Surplants Gilpin There will be general interest among lovers of the drama in the vicissitudes of the stage by which, apparently, Paul Robeson has supplanted Charles S. Gilpin as the bright particular dynamic star of the race. First, Mr. Robeson was given the role in "Susanne," a very unfortunate play, which Mr. Gilpin had made as much out of as possible, and then Mr. Robeson was given the role in a revival of "The Emperor Jones," which Mr. Gilpin made famous and which made him famous. Then Mr. Robeson was selected to have the leading role in "All God's Chillun Got Wings," instead of Mr. Gilpin. Just why Mr. Gilpin has got into the discard does not appear on the surface. He is a master artist, as we all know who have seen him in action, and we all There will be general interest among lovers of the drama in the vicissitudes of the stage by which, apparently, Paul Robeson has supplanted Charles S.

He is a master artist, as we all know who have seen him in action, and we all hope that he will soon get his stride again with another dramatic organization, and continue the brilliant career which, so far, has done so much to give our group a higher standing with lovers of the legitimate drama. Paul Robeson is a powerful actor. He is master of all of the fine points of the game. In the revival of "Emperor Jones," he was given unstinted praise by some of the best of the dramatic critics of the New York daily Norfolk Journal and Guide Newspapers. Among others, Alexander Woolcott, the famous author and dramatic critic of the New York Sun, says: "It was a canny and a successful demonstration and one who admired exceedingly the performance that Gilpin gave as Brutus Jones now rises in meeting to say that it was not so fine a performance as that which the stalwart and magnificently equipped Robeson gave last night at the Provincetown. For Robeson adds to his extraordinary physique a shrewd, rich understanding of the role and voice that is unmatched in the American theatre. This dusky giant unleashed in a great play provides the kind of evening in the theatre that you remember all your life." We have seen both Gilpin and Robeson in action. They are both great artists, and have accomplished wonders for the race by their splendid work, which has commanded the respect and applause of the most critical writers and theatre frequenters, and we are hopeful that they have really just begun to make history for the race, which is making splendid history in many directions, as a foundation upon which the good name and reputation of the race, as a constructive influence in the cultural possibilities of the Nation may surely rest.

The Board of Bishops of the African Methodist Church in session in Louisville gave the Republican Party a genteel dressing down for the manner in which it has dealt with the Negro voters. The aborted bishops declared in their adress that they were, well, satisfied with the From the Daily Press (Newport News.) The Board of Bishops of the African Methodist Church in session in Louisville gave the Republican Party a genteel dressing down for the manner in which it has dealt with the Negro voters. The colored bishops declared in their address that they were not satisfied with the treatment accorded the Negro race by the administration at Washington and declared that they would use their influence in the coming campaign to make their attitude very plain. For half a century, said the address, the Negro group of voters had sided with the Republican Party, because that party had much to do with giving the Negro race its own patron and franchise, but since the time of President Roosevelt, because that but little recognition was distribution of offices, and that the more qualified the Negroes became, the less they are recognized. "No administration," proceeded the address, "has been so slow to recognize us as the present. It was thought when we turned all our political influence and voted solidly for the present Administration that we would share in the office and enjoy other benefits of the Government. But we do not. Few have been appointed to offices that are remunerative, and the Senate, although Republican, has rejected a part of the few. The same Senate killed the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, rejected the loan of $5,000,000 to Liberia, did did loan millions to other Government that had been loaned to the Allies than Liberia, and suffered no more for the cause of the war than Liberia. "We are of the opinion that racial prejudice entered into these acts and were more potent than any other factor. "The Negro holds the balance of power in many states and he should wield that power to elect men who are friends. We cannot sit idly by as the leaders of people and suffer them longer to be the tool for politicians who have no interest outside of their own advancement, and we cannot forever vote for a party because of its past history, but must vote for those who act in our interest, and who are acting today and who will legislate for our protection and give us the same rights and protection that are given to other people." The Republican Party has never been a real friend to the Negro. It is true that it gave him the ballot, but it was not because of any consideration for the Negro. Most of the leaders, from President Lincoln down, were opposed to Negro suffrage, and a number of Republicans states had voted against it before the Fifteenth Amendment was adopted. The Republican platform of 1868 favored Negro suffrage for the Southern States only, leaving the other states free to decide the matter for themselves. But after the convention adjourned, the leaders feared that unless the Negro was enfranchised, the control of Government would pass from the Republican Party; so the Fifteenth Amendment was railroaded through in the disgraceful and revolutionary manner outlined in an article in The Daily Press of last Sunday. For its own selfish purpose the leaders of the Negroes who had just emerged from slavery, and for the further purpose of punishing the South. It saved the Republican Party, but it was the worst curse that was ever put upon the Negro. It was the source of nine-tenths of the trouble which the Negro had for many years after the War between the States. It was the "illid of his woes." But as time went on the Negro voter became a liability, instead of an asset to the Republican Party; and then the party tried to shake them off. To the Republican Party the Negro is no longer the "brother in black," but Jebabed. COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES By The CAMERAMAN (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) From Christian Science Monitor. The decision of the Congress to the United States to legislate against Asiatic immigration has a significance and an international importance far greater that may at first sight appear that those decisions are not simply whethleting a wise way to a foolish thing to overthrow the "gentlemen's agreement," or whether the methods adopted by either side were good or bad. Nor does the main importance of the action of Congress consist in its direct effects on Japanese-American relations. The real significance of the incident is that it represents another stage in the development of what is probably going to be the most difficult of all the agreed treaties to be enacted in the United States—the readjustment of the relations between the European races and the Asiatic. The problem centers on two main factors. The first is the determination of the white race, and especially of the Anglo-Saxon branch of it, to keep its stock pure—to prevent intermarriage between its own members and those of the brown, yellow, and black races, how far the rest of the peoples of Europe share that sentiment. Color feeling is certainly much less strong in France than it is in the English-speaking world. But it undoubtedly exists, there as well as in Germany, and elsewhere. Coupled with this objection to intermarriage is aement determination, especially the New World, as the Asiatics have developed territory because their different ideals of life prevent them from assimilating themselves rapidly to the local civilization and because their low economic standards can enable them to undersell the labor of the European. The feeling against Asiatic immigration is equally strong in the United States, in Canada, in Australasia, and in Africa. The second factor is the growth of a parallel movement for independence and equality with the white race throughout the continent of Asia. Twenty years ago it hardly existed. Today it is one of the most powerful souls of the ancient pernicious urbanization. It is at its strongest in Japan, which has successfully taken over the main elements of mod 1. Effects of Negro Migration—Final Although it has been pending periodically in some form ever since the close of the Civil War, state and national legislation has been accelerated by the migration. Group alliances of both races have, in various localities, been active in building up legislative formulas for racial fights, as is evidenced by national legislation which is now on the table in Washington and in many other states which have been up for consideration. Some of the measures have been barred of actual good, and many of them have contained elements which would be genuinely helpful; but it can hardly be said that all of them have been born of bad faith. The various commission bills, the Cappler Bill, the War Memorial Bill, and a number of state measures, aimed at discrimination and other inequalities, are examples of the quickened spirit to accelerate the consumption of the rights. The actions undoubtedly to the zeal for a greater freedom. Growing out of this work, have a closer scrutiny, by the Negro voters, of whom they would select to carry on their fight to the state and national legislatures. In New York City, this scrutiny is being keenly practiced, and the close electoral contests of the Harlem district are proofs that the Negro voters are seeking dates who really mean to inure to reform by legislative methods. The northward movement of Negro youth for educational betterment has been marked during the migration period. The free-spirited universities of the North are being sought by colored students from the far South. This sentiment in favor of the finer education which is available in northern sections has had a helpful effect in the South, the directors of whose schools have improved their curricula and precluded upon supporters for larger appropriations, more modern equipment, and better facilities in academic school life. In the North, the Negro youth has captured prize after prize in educational contests, emphasizing that competition with the whites in the field of knowledge has no terrors for the new-comers, who, in the southland, meet only their own racial lights in the school room. The Negro parent is no different than any other racial parent; and as greater racialization has been the pathogen of other races have been followed in the mutter of progeny, the percentage of which is slowly decreasing. Unfavorable housing conditions and higher living costs have led their influence to regress, over-sized, difficult of maintenance is nowadays no more popular in Negro life than it is with the highly-civilized whites.

But it is hardly less strong in Turkey, Arabia and Persia, in India and in the Philippines, and it is growing fast in China. Asia has begun to resent the claim of the West to superiority and to the right to interfere in its affairs while barring Astiasites from entry into the white man's land. It is the color feeling thus engendered that makes the internal problem of the British Commonwealth so difficult. The transition toward self-government in India itself would not be so troublesome if it were not for the constant irritant of the treatment of Indians in other parts of the Commonwealth, they are entitled to move freely about it. The Dominions utterly refuse to allow them to enter their territory, and the white minority in Kenya, where Theodore Roosevelt went to shoot big game, are organized in arms to insure that local Indians do not enter the lands where they live. And incidents there are and are South Africa running very high, and feeling continually to inflame public sentiment in India itself and to make difficult the working out of constitutional reform. It is clear that the question of the color line is rapidly changing from a local to a world issue. It is a problem of incalculable dimensions. It contains within itself unimaginable possibilities for good or evil to the human race. If it is unwisely or wrongly handled it may end in a lineup of white versus color which will produce a conflict and destructive than that which broke out in 1914. If it is handled wisely and rightly it will produce the basis for lasting undertaking and fruitful co-operation between the two great halves of mankind. There is no broad or easy road to a solution. It will need great patience, tolerance, understanding of other people's points of view, coupled with inflexible firmness and assertive vision directs us as the right and farsighted course. And there is no time to lose. The forces at work are gathering momentum every hour and it behoves every large-visioned citizen to consider how this new phase of the world problem is to be rightly met. was held in Pennsylvania last winter, it was urged that the professional group of the race be more largely utilized, and action was taken to see that Negro physicians and nurses under the auspices of the State Health Department, should be given a larger field of service. In a general way, throughout the beach, this sentiment is gaining weight and favor. It bespends a greater prosperity for the professional group and an increased interest in the welfare of the race. Higher training, more valuable contacts, better business, greater race pride, a nearer approach to the brotherhood of man, and, in the end, a genuine advancement in the principles of Christianity will undoubtedly follow in the work of three new organizations, Bridgeport, Comm. Newark, N. J., New York, N. Y., Philadelphia, P. A., Detroit, Mich. N. Nashville Tenn., Charleston, W. Va., and numbers of other cities, north and south, are living examples of the facts sought to be shown in these three brief installments on this absorbing topic. Just prior to the 1920 election, many Negro workers, who had acquired voting qualifications in northern states, were dropped from payrolls and forced to find a new location in new voting districts, where, by reason of an insufficient period of actual residence, they were unable to qualify as a voter. It is said that a scientifically-devised metod of snatching the ballot from those who might not vote the right way. Color has been added to this theory when it is observed that already, this year, there is a rumor that the same practice will be invoked as to Negro voters. As a forerunner to the event it has been anounced already that factory employment in a number of northern states, including New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey, is declining and that, on the other hand, an influx of workers is noted in North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and other southern states. The latest available reports of officially-compiled figures on spring employment show that New York, the continued and steady increase of operations in several branches of the iron and steel industry, metal-working industries, and foundries, stimulated the employment of labor. Reports from many sections of the state show that the anticipated boom in building is starting and this is further evidenced by the increased activity in industries manufacturing building materials and in structural fabricating plants;" that in New Jersey, "good weather has increased outdoor exposure of the iron and steel industry, automobile and accessory trades, rubber and leather industries, and certain textile trades, show a marked improvement, with employment in these lines approach- 113. What is an outstanding deed of daring and strategy in the life of Harriet Tubman? On one of her expeditions into Virginia, and with a reward on her head, dead or alive, she had the incredible nerve to enter a village where lived one of her former masters. This was necessary to the carrying out of her plans for that trip. Her only disguise was a bodily assumption of age. To reinforce this, she bought some live chickens, suspended them by the legs from a cord and proceeded along the main highway. As she turned a corner she saw coming towards her, her old master, and lest he misjudge, she through her disguise, and to make her excuse for flight, she took the excuse that held the fools and amid the general turmoil as she gave chase to the fowl which led over a fence—she escaped. 114.

There is nothing wrong per se in a white man riding as a passenger among colored people, nor with a colored man riding as a passenger among white people, but are the colored jitjeurs conscientiously right in permitting the very class of men who make Jim crow laws to ride beside their mothers, wives, sweethearts and sisters? Are they allowed to ride with wives if they pass one a thing like this to go on, which trespasses one of the few remaining rights they have? As an American Negro the jitney operator should awaken to the realization that when Southern white men allow him to ride in buses with white men and women he should then be more than pleased to extend like accommodations to white men when the ociation arises to do so, and not before.

The high rate of activity in the iron and steel and allied industries shows no appreciable *let-up and substantial employment gains are reported;* and that in Ohio, "employment conditions generally are good, all indications pointing to a very prosperous production process is reported in the automobile and rubber industries and more new factory buildings are being erected than at any time since 1918. On the other hand, of Virginia, it is said officially, that the "cotton mills are operating on a curtailed employment and production basis, and that there is a surplus of common labor apparent; of North Carolina, that "industrial employment conditions are fairly satisfactory, excepting the textile mills, which are still operating on a curtailed basis, and many hundred of workers." The industry, that "industrial activity is fairly satisfactory, though cotton-oil mills are on a part-time basis." The above is quite contrary to the rumors of unemployment and of restiveness on the part of workers. If the news and notes of such unemployment and restiveness, first referred to, are propaganda, or are, by psychological pressure, intended to move Negro workers away from their voting residences, then there is a full refutation; if they are misstated facts, so let loose in bad faith, then there is the truth. Take heed—Beware of changes which cause the loss of the ballot. You'll need it this year more than ever. DUMBELLS and DUMBDORAS A nation-wide crusade ought to be put on to round up dumbbells and dumbbolas. Dumbbells are folks who are simply dumb for pure meanness, fun or for no reason at all. In less time than two weeks you would find so many of that species that you would not be able to find a building large enough to hold all of them. Anyway, after they are rounded up, regular classes ought to be held so that the poor animals could learn something and stop being so inexcessively dumb. It's motivating to find out how many dumbbells and dumbbolas there are in existence. Of course trenches around the Fort. A request was made that the body of Col. Shaw be given up to the Union forces for burial. The answer was: "We have buried him with his nigors who led the charge." 115.

Just to show you how much of a big dumbbell some folks are: one womb walked into an ice cream parlor and asked the proprietor if he had any lemon ice. The proprietor said yes, and then she asked what kind did he have. Two fellows stopped in a café to partake of a light lunch and one asked for a hot chocolate. The other fellow, who was a dumbbell personified said, give me a hot chocolate and a cup of coffee. Well that takes the celluloid five poker. One guy was so dumb that he thought the dumbbells rang and church bells pealed. And there was another guy who was invited to an exclusive dinner. He took his fork and couched his mustache and used the finger bowl for an ash tray. In the meantime according to your position at the table you were supposed to eat the portion of the chicken that you were sitting opposite of. The person sitting at the north of the fowl was supposed to eat the neck. The guy sitting on the west of the chicken was to the wing on that and the one on the other wing so this same guy who was sitting at the extreme south of the chicken said that he was not hungry. A fellow who bought axe grenades for his wagon and butter to put on his bread for supper, put the butter on his wagon wheels and put the axe grease on his head. He thought it was jam. Now you know that something ought to be done when a certain Virginia Delegate didn't know that Hampton Roads was a river. He thought that Hampton Roads was a highway and said that he didn't see why they didn't hurry up and pay it so that the people could say talking so much about it. When people live in a State and are supposed to be a representative and don't know a seaport from a highway, the country is in a sail plight. One bozo was given a dictionary and some time later he was asked how he liked it. He said that he liked the story very well, but he couldn't understand all of the words. There was a radio fan who cided to tune in one night and some means he couldn't get connected with anything. He could make out anything, but the berry sound—Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut—so he told everybody that he got Egypt on his crystal set. Of course everybody laughed at him, because they knew that no one could get other countries on crystal receiving set. Somebody asked him how did he know that he had Egypt and he said, didn't hear them saying Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut. There was another guy who thought that General Welfare was an army officer; the League of Nations a baseball circuit and Mussolini a French pastry. A fellow took his sweetie to a prizefight and one of the contestants got knocked out. She said let's stay and see the part over again, where one knocked out. One time a guy went into the tavern and said to the what have you today. The waiter I have stewed kibbles, for liver, hog ears, chicken scambed brains, and pig feces. The guy said you are a bad of mind why don't you go to a doctor. If something isn't done for the poor dumplings, we'll soon have knowledge of unmeasurable freaks.
