Each "leader" brings a different story. They are now, the white leaders, the most points of agreement from all that they have heard in order that they may make out a stable bait for the Negro voter who sees only the Ku Klux and disappointed hopes for law enforcement, in the NO. P. O. NOT SATISFIED WITH COOLIDGE these deposter among the white confumers that had Harding in office, the question of the Negro vote could have been tickling indeed, they going so far as to admit that there would have seen a large defection of black ruffage to Democratic ranks. There is the suspicion now, however, that with the accession to power, they have born the disposition among Negroes to wait for something from this man who had such a reputation for fairness in general. They have waited and haven't been tiffed d. Administration leaders point to some things in the Coolidge record, notably the Virgin Island Commission, say, "isn't that enough?"

Y., June 4—News was made public here today that among the thirty-eight students of the Columbia Law School who "flunked" their final examinations John B.

Bascom Slemp, now secretary to the President, in which Harding admitted that in recognizing the Phillips organization formed in Atlanta in 1921 a blunder had been made was produced and turned the trick.

METROPOLITAN BANK DEPOSITS SHOW INCREASE Savings of Colored People of Norfolk Climb During Year Just Closed, According to Bank's Annual Report. NEW ACCOUNTS TOTAL MORE THAN $100,000. Savings bank deposits of the colored people of Norfolk showed a steady and substantial increase thru the fiscal year ending May 31; commercial deposits not only held their own but showed an appreciable incline and stability, indicating steady employment for the laborer and normal business for the purchaser. If the annual report of the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company read at the 15th annual stockholders meeting Thursday, May 29, may be taken as a barometer of economic conditions among the race in this city. For the Metropolitan this report showed that the year just closed was in many ways the best in the history of the institution. Not only was an encouraging increase in business volume experienced by the service of the institution, but the institution's expansion. The service wilt a great deal further than the routine of banking matters such as extending financial accommodations to home seekers, investors and striving business enterprise, in that advice and counsel of the bank's officials was freely sought and extended on financial subjects. The institution's increasing clientele, home sites, property values, present and future prospects, business locations, population trend and diverse subjects upon which the prudent person desires expert advice before making financial ventures were presented to the bankers for their counsel by a number of the masses who manifest admiration confidence in the institution, and appreciation of their services. $114,000 IN NEW BUSINESS The increase in business volume showed 2,140 new accounts totaling $114,000 for the past twelve months, besides a marked increase in active and Christmas Savings accounts. The address of Mr. W. M. Rich, president, who told in detail the condition of the bank, pointed out the high service it is rendered to the people and the business of the dealers and purposes of the institution, was enthusiastically received. Mr. W. H. C. Brown, vice-president, addressed the meeting on the "World's Depression." His talk was highly interesting and showed the speaker to be a student of world economies. He elaborated on the reading of the report and brief talks, the stockholders pledged themselves to work enthusiastically for new business, larger service and a greater Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company. Officiating these profuse expression of appreciation of the work and record made by the bank's officers and pledges of renewed interest, the stockholders elected the board of directors for the new year. Immediately after the board retired and elected the following officers: W. M. C. Brooks, vice-president and treasurer; J. C. Brooks, vice-president and secretary, and Chas. G. Owings, assistant secretary-treasurer. DEATH PRISONER KIDNAPS WOMEN Demand Guarantee of Life and Freedom for Delivery of Evangelist Held in Cells Florence, Ala., June 3.—(A. N.

Crowds Pay Tribute To Memory of Dead On Memorial Day The thirty-second annual observance of the National Memorial Day was whole heartedly and fittingly observed by the Norfolk Memorial Association Friday, May 30. Services began Sunday May 25, when a special sermon was given by John M. Brown A. E. Church by the pastor, Rev W. W. Roberts. On Friday at sunrise, the graves of soldiers and sailors were decorated by men detailed by the Officer of the Day, from the G. A. Posts and Spanish War Veterans to perform that duty. GOON JETTY SERVICE Simultaneously with the start of the veterans to the respective cemeteries began a stream of thousands of civilians laden with flowers, who until well in the afternoon trocketed to the burying ground and placed upon their burdens upon the graves of departed loved ones. Jitney service under management of the Norfolk Bus Association, Frank Moore, president, or the Douglass Park route, which was diverted to Calvary cemetery served the crowd going in that direction adequately and administratively. The annual Memorial Day parade of the former service men Heath Hunt 2 o'clock and made its way to West Point Cemetery where services in memory of men who died in American wars were held. The procession was headed by the Chief Marshall and his staff, all of whom were mounted. A detachment of sailors from the Hampton Roads Naval Training Station were mounted in a large organization. tion, veterans of foreign wars, members from the G. A. R. Posts and Spanish War Veterans headed by the Execsion Band were in the line, St. Joseph High School Band, two companies of Boy Scouts with their bugle corps furnished more music. LINE OF MARCH The line of march lay down Bute Street, to Cumberland, to Nicholson, to Monticello, to Charlotte, to Chapel, to Washington avenue, to Church, to Princess Anne Road, to the Cemetery, where the procession gathered around the monument erected in memory of the man with their country and where so many solemn demonstrations of the like are held each year. After singing "America," prayer was offered by the chaplain, James Spence read Lincoln's Gettysburg address and Miss Mary V. Johnson read a poem fitting for occasion. The presidee of the Lincoln James M. Collins, introduced Rev. H. C. Miller, orator of the day, who responded with an appropriate celygly. Both the Execsion and the St. Joseph Bands rendered selections and the detachment of sailors fired a salute over the graves of the soldiers. A bugle blew "taps." Blood red poppies were sold on the streets, which aided in lending color to the solemn significance of the observance. The services of Mr. W. A. Allen, keeper of Calvary cemetery served largely in contributing to the smoothness of the services at that burial ground and to the conveniences of the crowd that swarmed the place thrust up the day. BATHING BEACH IS AGAIN TO THE FORE BATHING BEACH IS AGAIN TO THE FORE Washington, D. C., June 5—Of the $158,196,417 carried in the second deficiency bill reported to the House of Representatives Thursday by Representative Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, $50,000 is recommended for the construction of a bathing beach for colored people. Although an appropriation of $25,000 for this purpose has been available for two years, officials and Negroes of Washington have been unable to agree upon the location of the proposed beach. The colored people of the District have insisted that their bathing beach be located in the Tidal Basin on the opposite side from the one used by white people. Just what the colored people of the District will do in the case cannot be surmised as the whites, under the lead of Col. Sherrill, who has charge of public buildings and grounds, are determined that Negroes shall bath elsewhere than in the Tidal Basin. If the charges are there are certain groups of Negroes of the District inclined to accept either the south end of Columbia Island or the Virginia end of the Francis Scott Key bridge. They argue that a half leaf is better than none. Italians Held For Shooting Race Man Oakmont, Pa., June 5—(P. N.

AS FIRST STEP TOWARD INTER-RACIAL HARMONY BROTHERS MIX UP WITH THEIR BROTHER-IN-LAW BROTHERS MIX UP WITH THEIR BROTHER-IN-LAW Well Known Young Men of Portsmouth Go To Defense of Sister and Encounters Wrath of Her Husband. CRITICAL INJURIES In an effort to protect their sister, Mrs. Helen McCoy Smith, a young school teacher of Janius Creek, Norfolk county, from what is alleged to have been continued mistreatment at the hands of her husband, Annanias Smith, Lester and Arnett McCoy, well-known young men of 1243 Glasgow street inflicted by Smith in an altercation on Deep Creek boulevard shortly after nine o'clock Monday night. Lester's wounds are critical. He is confined in King's Daughters Hospital with a stab directly above the heart, a ugly gashes in the right side and in the back of the neck.

Bank Employees Check Attempt To Rob Ports. Bank Coolness in the face of what could have easily proven instant death on the part of R. J. Kyles, cushier, and Miss Rogers, bookkeeper of the Community Saving Bank, race institution. $80 County street, Portsmouth prevented the bank from being locked by two white day-light bandits Monday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock. At a quiet hour of the day, when the street was practically free of pedestrians and no one was in the bank except the cushier, bookkeeper and a customer, two unmasked robbers, to control in the face of Mr. Kyles and ordered him to hand over a roll of bills, just deposited by Mr. Bishop Dale of the Virginia Drug Company and amounting to $300.00. This money was laying on the counter inside of the cage as the cushier had not had the opportunity to place it in the safe. Mr. Kyles declined to comply with their command with the muzzle of a sticking in his face when he ducked behind the counter with the money in his hand. One of the bandits then ordered Miss Rogers to hand over the cash. The gun was still flashing in the bandit's hand, yet she too declined to deliver the bank's funds. The bandits made a lunge at the steel cage and tried to wreck it without avail. Daunted by their futile efforts of them the banker "let's kill them." A pistol was pointed towards Miss Rogers and a shot rang out. The bullet went wide of its mark. The bandits then made a hasty retreat showing aside Mr. Dale, the depositor, who was in the bank the whole time of the melee. When they left and jumped into an awaiting automobile Dale, the depositor, secured the number of the machine. A hurried call was made to police station and in less than an hour, two young men, T. F. Hart and R. A. Martin, were overhealed on the Suffolk boulevard. The capture was made after an excited chase by the officers' car over the smooth highway. An open draw bridge halted the bandits and enabled the policemen to reach the city and lodged in jail. Hart has since been released on $2,000 bail. The car they used was found to have been rented from the U Drive It Company. What is said to have been one of the remarkable phases of the incident was the coolness of Miss Rogers under the circumstances. It is said that up to the present she has not exhibited a single sign of nervousness. In fact, she jested with the cashier and interviewers over it within a few minutes women seen to regard an emergency in the indifferent manner in which she regards her experience SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR: DR. ROBERT R. MOTON SAYS RACE GIRLS NOT PROTECTED BYPUBLICOPINION Attorney J. Thomas Newsome Demands That Laws for Protection of Women's Honor Be Sustained By Public. WANTS EQUAL RIGHTS BEFORE LAW FOR ALL (Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide) Newport News, Va., June 4 A new organization several years ago has there been a more important meeting than the one held by the inter-racial committee last Monday night at the Y. M. C. A. The clergy in large numbers, public school teachers, doctors, lawyers, business people and women in all walks of life made up the gathering. Quite number of white people of both sexes were also at the meeting. Mr. George T. Hardy presided and Judge Hudgins of the Juvenile Court was an interesting participant and made a very splendid talk. The meeting was progressing very smoothly in routine matter when Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome was called on by the chairman to address the mother in form from the various committees on "clean up week" and it was said that much good had been done by inter-racial co-operation in that direction. STARTLED AUDIENCE Lawyer Newsome threw a bomb and created a sensation from the very beginning of his address. He said that the meetings he held with the groups met in Frank and sympathetic discussion of existing moral and spiritual evils in the light of the facts as they are known to exist. He did not believe, he said that "cleaning up back yards," was half so important as purifying black hearts and creating a public sentiment looking to a higher regard for the makers of our homes—our women and girls. He wanted to know how many of the women he stands as regard to the protection of Negro women. The lawyer declared that it is well known that the Negro woman has been the foot man for the beasts of both sexes. He said that the well-known "kell known" he continued, "that sent consideration will be given her when her honor has been assa- sured and she seeks legal redress, that it has become almost a forge- gone conclusion, if it is only a Negro girl, that the matter will be practically laughed out of court. NEED OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT "This condition is not due to a lack of law to meet the cases as they arise almost daily, but to a complete absence of public opinion demanding that the Negro girl shall be protected, certainly until she reaches the age where the law looks upon her as in some sense able to defend herself." The langer himself asked the committee point blank how it stands with respect to the enforcement of the law when erimes are committed against Negro girls and Negro women.

Atlanta, Ga., June 4.—(A. N. P.) Property owned by Negroes in Georgia decreased $3,042,141 from 1922 to 1923, according to the annual report of Comptroller General William Wright. The total valuation of property returned by Negroes was $48,235,641 last year, compared to $51,275,682 for the producing and automobiles, according to the report. They turned horses and mules valued at $4,359,856, and automobiles valued at $585,569. The tax books showed that Negroes owned land valued at $15,567,017; city and town lots valued at $17,496,465, household and kitchen utensils valued at $4,260,314, and money and solvent debts amounting to $1,028,484. Migration of Negroes to the North is held largely responsible for this decrease, many landlords and property owners selling their belongings to the whites and taking their money to the whites and other Negroes transferring them to investment centers in the North while remaining here themselves. --- S-O-C-I-E-T-Y PERSONALS — Miss Rosa B.

ANSWERED FATHER'S CALL Mr. and Mrs. Smith have been married less than two years. According to her brother's statement, news of ill-treatment by her husband has been coming to their attention through the whole time. Monday, their father, who has been making his home with his daughter since the death of his wife recently, sent for her brothers, the McCoyts, to come out to their sister's home and see what could be done to ease the trouble between her and her husband. At night the brothers drove out in Lester's automobile. Pluko has m todowith her than you th Pew of the thousands of admirers and friends of our Miss Rushell, realize how much of her charm is due to her gloriously beautiful, long, straight, glossy black hair.

The McCoys proceeded back to the city and when nearing town met returning, the car containing their sister and brother-in-law. At the request of his wife, who told him she wanted to talk with her brothers. Smith turned around and started in pursuit of the machine in which the McCoys were riding. Overtaking them, both cars stopped. Both Mrs. Smith and Lester alighted. Lester inquired of her what was the trouble, but she answered him with only tears and hysterical crying. Lester says he then told both her and Smith that if they were going to continue having trouble it would be for them to separate, at the same time informing Smith that he was displeased with the treatment his only sister was receiving from him. Both brothers invited their sister to return to the city with them and promised to give her a home and maintenance, at the same time telling her that she was privileged to suit herself about it; go with them or her husband. She chose to follow her brothers and attempted to get into their machine. HUSBAND OBJECTED Her husband commanded her not to get in that car, the story continues, at the same time rushed over to his car, started the motor and reached for his pocket. Lester said, thinking that the irate husband was about to shoot his sister and attempt to get away, he rushed after him grabbing the hand he was trying to insert into his pocket. It was then Smith pulled the knife and stabbed his wife's brother. Arnett says, seeing his brother wounded and Smith attempting an escape, he sought to intercept him. Smith again brought the knife in play and drove its blade into Arnect's shoulder. He then fled, leaving his car parked in the road with the motor racing. Arnett, who is the youngest brother, brought Lester in the city as rapidly as his condition would permit and hastened to Dr. Barnes office for first aid for him. Dr Barnes rushed them both to the hospital. Lester was then unconscious. Mrs. Smith has since been making her home with her brothers at 1213 Glasgow street. HOTEL DALE Cape May, N. J.

The announcement of the coming of the famous Sabbath Glee Club of Richmond, to this city Friday night, June 6, has created keen interest and delightful anticipation among the Norfolk public. That this concert will prove a big success here there seems not to be even a possibility of doubt. The reputation of the singers assures an overwhelming success in so far as goes the entertainment the public is in for, and the rapid sale of tickets throut the week indicates that St. John A. M. E. Church will be packed to the doors on this occasion. In fact, the demand for tickets has been so lively since the announcement of the places where they might be secured, the management has seen fit to call especial attention to the necessity of prospective patrons securing their tickets early and seeking early admission to the church. CRITICS COMMENT Those who have heard the Sabathbath Glee Club sing, among whom has been the music critic of the Richmond Times Dispatch and others who have an ear attuned to music state that among all the fascinating and beautiful old spirituals none have been heard to greater effect than, "Toll the Bell," a composition of Mr. Joseph Matthews, leader at the club. In describing the singing of this spiritual, one reviewer said, "In this song the humming of the chorus, while a tenor carries the lead, is almost exactly like the reverberations of a huge beel. Matthews developed the tone of the bell so exactly by listening to a countless number of times the ringing of the fire bell." The program usually includes some of the oldest spirituals such as, "Roll Jordan, Roll," "I Want To Be Ready," "Go Down Moses," "Everytime I Feel the Spirit," "Inching Along," "No Hid in Place," "Peter on the Sea," "I Couldn't Heen Nobody Pray," "Steal Away to Jesus," "Bye and Bye," "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," "I Want to Be a Christian," and "Toll the Bell," "Resides these the club sings with ease and pronounced perfection the classics of the other races. Friday night the program will start promptly at 8:15 o'clock and all who are urged to enjoy every number are urged to be in their seats by that time. The concert is being given under auspices of the choir and music committee of St. John Church. By A. WITT Hello friends—A cat will lie before the fire—men afterwards.

SURE WITHIN FORTY- GUARANTEE OF SATIS- DEFY COMPETITION. arter Co. INFLUENCE OF FRATERNITIES ON A STUDENT'S LIFE IN COLLEGE IS QUESTIONABLE BY CHARLES H. WILLIAMS Secretary-Treasurer, C. I. A. A. Hampton, Va., May—The good and civil influences of fraternities in athletics were discussed at the recent session of the Colored Inter- collegiate Athletic Association which was held in Lynchburg, Va. The best presentation of the sub- ject was given by Dr. Walter G. Alexander, graduate manager of Lincoln University and vice presi- dent of the C. I. A. A. For some time there have been rumors among some of the college circles that the selection of members of various teams, and especially the selection of captains and managers, has depended on fraternity connections. One speaker at the meeting declared that at his institution this spring, an attempt was made to elect a baseball manager. He said that the students representing different fraternities remained in session all night and could not elect a manager. Finally, he was called upon to appoint a temporary manager. "If we could conceive of fraternities being 100 per cent beneficial" said Dr. Alexander, "the matter would deserve some serious consideration, for all of us would be concerned about preserving this wholesome influence in its entirety. If, however, we could conceive of fraternities as being 100 per cent detrimental, they would certainly be deserving of the most serious consideration, for our endowments would then be to eliminate them from college life. If, again, we could conceive of them as being partly good and partly harmful, there would still be need for the same consideration, for we would then direct our thoughts and activities towards curtailing the evil and promoting the good that is in them. Fraternities have certainly made a very desired change in the life of the average man at college that is, fraternities have been very largely instrumental in changing his viewpoint of things. "When I was a student at Lincoln, twenty-five years ago, most of our activities were centered in and around the two literary societies, namely, Philosophian and Garnett. There was nothing quite so important, outside of our schoolastic work, as these two volunteer student organizations. There was always a great deal of rivalry with in these organizations for the honor of being president at commencement time, but this was about as far as our interest went, for when ever there was any matter concerning the college as a whole, one apparently, ever thought of his connection with these societies and I am sure that not in my time nor in the time of any of my acquaintances, did membership in either of these organizations play any part in matters concerning the college as a whole. "There has developed, in the past few years, a wonderful spirit of chanishness among student bodies. It is practically common knowledge that in all schools where fraternities exist, those fraternities influence practically all phases of KISSICK'S NEW PRODUCTS for Mr. Scalp and Skin. $2.00 worth for $1.00 to anyone sending it a test treatment.

Box 102 Laboratory, 1002 Poplar Street Wilmington, Delaware His Statement Spirit of Clannishness --- college life', and preferment for everything, except scholastic honors, depends almost entirely on a student's fraternity connections. It thus happens that in many instances fitness is not an essential condition for preferment in the schools, but too often the student's popularity in his own fraternity and the allegiance among fraternities determine the student's elevation. "It is fairly common knowledge that elections for team managers, captains and other things are practically always determined by fraternity affiliation, and a man who is affiliated with a fraternity that is not closely linked with another strong fraternity, usually stands but little show in obtaining college honors, and the fellow who is not allied with any fraternity at all receives no consideration whatever. The influence of the fraternities is so strong that a student today is compelled, whether he so desires or not, to be a member of some fraternity or else he has to suffer complete ostracism so far as elective positions in college life are concerned. "It is quite common information that Deta men and Delta men will form a union against Mu men and Nu men and the question of preferment will depend on the student's popularity in his particular fraternity and the strength of the fraternity in combination. It is a matter then of the exaltation of the fraternity rather than the welfare of the school, and it is very easy to see that this kind of clamishness, which becomes so thoroughly and highly developed during the student's college life, is likely to prevail even after he has gone into the world. Men will seek each other and associate with each other not with regard to the attachments to a common a mate, but with the same old spirit which was engendered in colleges of seeking the companionship of the fellow-fraternity member. It was a common report during the football season last year that efforts were made during games to stay certain members of teams. This would happen when the quarterback and another backfield man were of the same fraternity, and, according to report, this became noticeable on one team that the coach threatened to disrupt his entire backfield, unless the quarterback offered more opportunities to the other two men in the backfield. Under favorable conditions it was easy to see that a certain man could be easily starred to the complete eclipse of other men who were equally as good, but under unfavorable conditions it might happen that the attempt to use this same star repeatedly would result in the defeat of the team. "This means, then, that something must be done and done before a very distant date to attempt to counteract this condition, and this can only be done by making student bodies realize that under no conditions must the interest of the school be made subservient to the interests of the fraternity. I have been advised that in some places Inter-Praternity Councils have been formed, but these apparently have not been very successful because the members of these councils were not willing to submerge their individual affiliations for the success of the Council. Should Be Corrected "To my mind nothing could be more profitfully considered at the annual sessions of the various graduate chapters than this very subject of fraternity influence on college activities. It must be that the majority of members of graduate chapters realize the conditions in our schools today and knowing this it seems reasonable that they, should willingly take steps to help correct any influences that are evidently pernicious. My own suggestion would be that all graduate chapters, at some early date at their annual conventions, appoint a committee to confer on this matter with the faculty of schools and representatives of undergraduate chapters, and make them realize that while the fraternity is an important factor in student life, yet it is not the biggest thing in student life, and that in all activities, fraternal or otherwise, everything must be done for the welfare of the school." GARDNER-SAUNDERS FIGHT DIM PROSPECT New York, May 29—Although a number of the colored sport writers in Gotham have been pulling for a fight for the colored lightweight championship of the world between Buddy Aunders of the National Guard, aid Johnny Gardner, the Philadelphian, we think we can say with authority, such a match is not in the making. While it is true that Gardner suffered a terrific seating at the hands of Johnny Reisler in his fight, still he has the record of three straight victories at the Commonwealth—two by the knockout route—and is slated to be started again on May 31 with some good white boy. Put in the case of Gardner it is different. Somebody close to the McMahons gave us an opinion that Duddy hasn't and "color" when it comes to appealing to the fans and on his showing the last time he appeared at the Commonwealth he failed to impress, the customers, thereby forcing the McMahons to Partisan Idea --- AMOS HOKUM---He Seeks Fame AMOS HOKUM---He Seeks Fame HELP!!

Personally we would like to see the light take place as both of the boys are anxious to meet and if appended to some sensational star but their coming on in the preliminary would find as good a house as any other two in the first star twelve. Kearns Says Dempsey Not Sidestepping Wills' Match Los Angeles, Calif., May 28— (P. N. S.) Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, last week declared that reports in western newspapers to the effect that Dempsey was trying to sidestep a match with Harry Wills in order to meet Carpentier or Firpo is without foundation, "First come, first served, is our policy, and Dempsey is willing and ready to meet anyone," Kearns declared.

PAUL GIVES THE OFFICIAL MONOGRAM By J. L. WHITEHEAD Lawrenceville, Va. May 31—The Athletic Council awarded the following named young men the "SLP" official monogram on Monday, May 26: Baseball—Charles, Lemarie Blackwell (captain-elect), Earl Francis Collins, Herman Grey Cooke, Joseph Edward Madden, Ashur Lee Maddux, Captain Wallace Thomas Parker, Theodore Clifton Quinn, John Warren Scri伯, and James Green Wallace. Track and Field—Booker Talafero Pierce. Tennis—Bertram Crummel Cassey, and Clemmon Tazewell Wortham. BLACKWELL TO LEAD NINE IN 1925 Charles Lemark Blackwell, of Kenbridge, Va., the Tiger maintay in the center field, was the unanimous choice of the baseball letter men for the captainry of St. Paul's 1925 baseball team. That Blackwell would be elected to the coveted post without opposition was the prediction of those closely connected with St. Paul's athletics. This 220 pound sterling athlete played through St. Paul's 12 games scheduled without an error. With the destiny of St. Paul's 1925 diamond machine in the hands of "Big" Blackwell, everything points to a remarkable year for the Lawrenceville boys. WALKER LANDS BASKETBALL CAPTAINCY Orrville Greenleaf Walker, St Paul's 1924 all-round athlete, was elected captain of the "24-25 basketball team at the executive meeting of the varsity basketball squad on the 26th. While basketball at St Paul is in its infancy, Walker who is well-known to the C. I. A. schools in all the collegiate sports, is certain to pilot a formidable quintet next season. Walker won "The Crocker Athletic Prize" of $100 in gold for 1924. BANKS AT THE HEAD OF TRACK William Henry Banks, the clever youngster who led, by a safe margin, the Relay in the first heat at the Hampton Meet was elected captain of the Orange and Black Track and Field team for the ensuing year. Banks' teammates made their selection on merit only, for beyond a shadow of a doubt the incumbent is the man for the "job," he having done more for St. Paul on the cinder path than any other member of the Tiger squad. Banks is a good sport, a hard fighter and a leader of the first order. The selection of Banks bids fair to a great year in 1925 for the Brunswick county lads in Track and Field activities. LOSES 5. WINS 4 C. I. A. A. GAMES While St. Paul did not come up to the expectation of her supporters, and although she fell short of predictions by not breaking even in the C. I. A. A. clashes, her performances on the diamond was commendable. St. Paul's 1924 baseball record is a follows: St. Paul 3, Hampton 4; St. Paul 3, Hampton 2; St. Paul 4, Union 3; St. Paul 0, Va. Normal 8; St. Paul 8, Howard 5; St. Papl 6, Howard 7; St. Paul 5, Union 13; St. Paul 1, Va. Normal 6; St. Paul 12, Va. Seminary 4. From the present indications, St. Paul should land the third berth in the C. I. A. A. 1924 standing. Deliver me out of 'O this slump that covers me. Gosh I'm glad I'm at The Bottom. AND FIELD TEAM By J. A. Jackson New York City—Jack Moonlixer hands us a nice bit of philosophy in the Los An- worthy achievement and strong character." That fellow deserves credit for his apt phrasing of some good advice. Andrea Razaf, one of our younger writers has placed two numbers with a Broadway Publishing house that give promise of becoming very popular. One is "A bobbed hair Bandit Stole My Heart Away" and the other is "Moonlight on the Mississippi Blues." The former has been placed in several vaudeville acts already. Harvey Baker, tenor appeared at Imperial Hall, on May 26 in a classic program of sixteen numbers with Tourgee DeBose at the piano under the management of the Donald Musical bureau. Mabel Jones, the little dancing lady who recently signalized her graduation from the Vestoff-Serova school by an appearance with the Debates in New York which was presented on May 26, by the Alpha Kapp Alpha Society of the University of Ohio, in her home town, Columbus, Ohio. Amanda Kemp's dancing pupils presented a most interesting entertainment at New Star Casino on May 23. Maron Smith's orchestra, a Chel Club unit, played the engagement. The Gonzelle White Company left New York May 25, for Ashbury Park after which they jumped to Ottawa, Canada to play the eastern Keith junior theaters. The act is booked for the whole month of time. Eddie Brown the dramatic actor was an electrician before the stage claimed him. Since he retired with the "Roseanne" company he has been building Radio instruments and has set up more than a dozen in Harlem. West as far as Philadelphia recently to install ones. Col. Douglas C.

Y., June 4—(P. N. S.)—Two new national champions were crowned here Friday when R. Earl Johnson, of Pittsburgh, won the A. A. U. Ten-mile run championship, formerly held by Willie Ritola, and H. C. Freeman of the Central Walking Club, dunned the seven-mile walk crown. Johnson took the ten-mile run after a hard fight with Albert Michelson, of the Cygnet A. C. Port Chester, Conn., and James Hennigan, of the Dorchester Club, Medford, Mass. Michelson and Hennigan finished second and third respectively after having stuck to Johnsin for a major part of the way. The times were: Johnson, 51; 29: 2-5; Michelson, 54:30; Hennigan, 54:22 4-5. It was thought that Johnson was not compelled to extend himself at any time through the whole pace, as he appeared to simply be regulating his pace sufficient to win over his competitors. He, at no time appeared to be endeavoring to finish with spurt, but as they put on additional speed Johnson seemed to slyly increase his pace, keeping all the while a sufficient lead to assure victory.

It arrayed the fathers into hostile camps and has sent coursing down through all the ages awful and scandalous instructions against the Holy Prince of PEACE. This Doctrine has been a scourge to Christianity in every way. It did not only divide the church against itself but organized many of the men of the un-Churched against the Church. Men could ask QUESTIONS with the Church to answer: men who REASON and were GREED-FREE so that they could all the better REASON. On the other hand, the Church had no love for REASON, was INTOLERANT with any and every thing that appealed to REASON of any kind; and with a command, IT not accomplish (SOUGH TO ACCOMPLISH WITH A TORCH OR SWORD!

Notwithstanding which, Joseph afterwards marries her, concludes with her as his wife, and in his turn rivals the ghost. This is putting the story into intelligible language, and, when told in this manner, there is not a priest but must be ashed to own it."

I am not dealing so much in promises but I am bringing demonstrations. Not all that I would have done for I am never content. I believe in Tennyson's idea of 'Noble discontent.' "We are now attempting something here that I regard as the very flower of civilization and the highest mission of all educational processes. We are trying the experiment of self government. I may here say that we have not made the same progress in the science of government as we have in the science of his own spirit, is greater than he who taketh a city 'is still true. We must learn this lesson and learn it well. We are attempting this here, and during the past session discipline has been largely administered by the class you see before you. In this we are attacking what seems to be our greatest weakness. We are wanting in the power of self government. Our experience this year has been so powerful that we shall continue our effort with such modification as our further experience may suggest. "We regret the absence from the restroom today of Hon. W. N. Everett, who was to speak the final words to you. We know that he would have brought to us a message pregnant with consequence. We deeply sympathize with him in the affliction which causes his absence. We thank him for his kind reception to health, to friends to noble service to his state, to our delinquency we turned to the good Bishop who kindly consented to supply Mr. Everett's place in our program today and I feel to give assurance in advance that you will give earnest sanction to the wisdom of our action. It is my great pleasure to present to you Rt. Rev. G. A. McGuire, of New York City." BISHOP SPEEKS After some preliminary remarks touching the occasion of his acceptance of the invitation to deliver the annual address, Bishop McGuire reports: "First, let me dissuade you from startling out as grumblers, broadening over and whining about the obstacles which confront you. Grumbling will get you nowhere. Inflammatory speeches and ill-advised resolutions will serve no good purpose. That is not the way to make friends with your race. Nobody has a chronic grumbling, a racial agitator, or a disturbance promoter. In the providence of Almighty God, the white man and black man are now dwelling together in this land of the aboriginal red man, and I believe it is possible for white and black to dwell together in this glorious land, each race working out its own salvation and achieving its destiny. This white man would be proud of it and should try to keep my racial stock pure and free from anmalignation." But as I cannot be mistaken for one, and would not pretend to be one even if I could, I am proud that God made me a Negro, and shall so live and serve Him, mankind in general, and my race in particular that my Creator may not require Him for my servant to be a Negro. To be a man of high integrity—that is what I strive for rather than vain struggles for that which means nothing to me. 'It matters little where I was born. Whether my parents were slaves Whether they shrank from the cold, world's scorn, or walked in the pride of wealth secure: But whether I live an honest man, and hold my integrity firm in trust. "Think of the present opportunities we have. Here is ocular demonstrations in this college that bids fair to be one of the finest --- Herling Sentiments Mark the Twenty-fifth Annual Commencement B. N. HUNTER Greensboro, N. C. — The twenty-eth annual commencement of the A&T. College of Carolina, Greensboro, began Sunday, and may ways. Not only was it interesting in itself but it carried wealth of historical background such tells of struggles, trial, disarrangements, and then of achievement, triumph, victory. For two years it has been under the administration of Dr. J. B. Dudley, present president. A man less courageous, less courageous, less useful, and one may say, less liable, would have have been power to the would have have been enforced. He fought a good fight; kept the faith; the present great and expanding institution is the school. The school is really blooming. The last General Assembly appropriated a half million dollars in its building program. Two significant buildings and many more have already been erected for now approaching completion. The enrolment during the past year reached over 500. There is 400 construction for about 500. The city had to take care of the overflow. The buildings now completed and under construction will accommodate about 100 more. There will be need of rooms at least 200. These will be provided. There will be no backyard step.

M. 2 o'clock P. M. the annual commencement took place. The address was to have been delivered to Hon. W. N. Everett, secretary of State of North Carolina and there was been disappointment in his inability to meet the inaugural new week's Mr. Everett was taken to the hospital in Charlotte for an operation and only a few days ago he was returned to his home in Rockingham, His failure, therefore, to appear was unavoidable but none the less deeply regretted. At the last moment Bishop G. A. McGuire, of New York City, was extended an invitation and prevailed upon to accept. He did so and it may said that no substitute would have been selected could have met the large and refined audience which completely filled the great auditorium. In introducing the Bishop, Dr. Dudley said: "On a similar occasion to this one you will remember that Governor Cameron Morrison was our speaker. He said that it was his purpose to make the school the dream of the Negroes of America. The legislature of 1922 gave generous appropriation for building schools and equipment. The State of North Carolina has done its part toward making this school a standard A grade college. The only thing remaining to be done is with us. There is no want of money, and buildings, and equipment. We ourselves must complete the requirement by furnishing at least 100 students up the course. We can furnish them all. Then our young men will not be under the necessity of going North for benefit that we are unable at present to provide. GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS The work we have done during the last week, I take great pride in our work. THE CITY COURT HOUSE Dudley Hall Agricultural And Technical College, Greensboro, N. C. Bishop SPEAKS Or walked in the pride of wealth course: tell you, my brothers, as sure as I can. That matters much. Norfolk Journal and Guide institution for Negroes in the South. The Federal Government has done a praiseworthy part in its maintenance, but the glorious old State of North Carolina has proved itself at the very head of the marching column of interracial comity, progress and good will, in granting in addition to yearly appropriations, the magnificent sum of half a million dollars which is the expanding dollar of new and commodo buildings and other improvements. All honor to North Carolina, its government and legislators, and its friendly white citizens. May her illustrious example spread all over the Southland, marking the dawn of a better day in this beautiful section of the United States. There has been trotted around the world to other parts of the country, but North Carolina has suffered little or nothing in this movement, for the good reason that she is providing for the educational and industrial progress of the Negro population and is manifesting a humane policy toward their general welfare and I know of no man of our race in this State who has done more to promote interracial comity while exist interracial dissect and able President, Dr. Jas. B. Dudley, whose name stands high on the list of Negro Educators of the twentieth century. POSSIBILITIES OF FUTURE "Think of the present opportunities, and also of the needs and possibilities of the future. Prepare to do your bit for racial upift and achievement." The greatness of kingland lies in the greatness of the kingland that has been, her people have been eager to make the British Empire of tomorrow greater than that of yesterday. Every racial instinct bids the Negro to take courage and go forward. With sacred and inviolable springs your heart to the future. The past is past. On stepping stones of their dead selves let Negroes rise to higher things." It was such optimism that pervaded the orate and eloquent oration of the Bishop throughout. He made a profound impression.

Political Feudalists Would Blame Negro Mineola, N. Y. May 29—Political feudalists who are carrying on controversy between adherents of Mayor William H.

It is consequently doubted, in fact, that any Negroes are involved in the disorders with which they are charged. New Agricultural Building, A., & T. College POOR LI'L CAROLIN' (Released and Copyrighted by the Famous Writers Guild) WHAT YOU HAVE MISSED That Carolin' Essex, wife of George Essex, deserted by him in a fit of frenzy, is now about to complete the story of her past life, a life she had kept from her husband because of its sorid aspect, but which now, goaded to desperation, she tells in a brave effort to win back her husband's love. Will her husband come back? Will he be able to love the unmarried mother of another man's child? What effect is the impassioned plea of "Poor Carolin'" to have on the mind of her angered husband. Read and see in this last installment of Ben Goodlow's intensely interesting story of a brown-skin love and sorrow. (Continued from last week) "It was not until you made the world sublime by asking me to become your helpmate that I remembered my story. I should have told you about Floyd then. But I was sore afraid that you would not understand. Men do not waste much sympathy on unmarried mothers, you know. Their stories are stereotyped, so men think. There is no variation. The stories are all alike, and she is blamed. So I did not tell you. I wanted you too madly to run the risk of losing you. Perhaps my motive was a selfish one—perhaps I played the part of an old but I could win and hope to keep you was to deceive you into thinking that I had never loved nor been loved. I did this because I thought that I could never live happily again after seeing you unless my life was spent in your keeping. So you accepted the fraud and married me and gave me more real happiness than I had ever known before. "It was something like six months ago that I learned, through an accident that my baby was living near me. You see, Maisie and her husband grew tired of the drum life of Bradshaw and migrated up, like trying one industrial center and then another, until they reached this city. Maisie's husband found this house after a long search, liked the rental price, and moved here. Maisie as you know is Mrs. Smith there. The husband of whom I have affection spoke, was a teacher. He been my best and truest and staunchest friends through all my trouble. "I met Mrs. Smith during a shopping tour and she had my little son with her. You can imagine the reunion. I cried copiously, and so did she. In fact, we acted so much like a couple of children that we nearly blocked downtown traffic. Maise insisted that I should accompany her home here and we enjoyed another glorious cry. Then I went about the business of getting acquainted with the poor little child I had so ruthlessly thrown aside—for I admit after leaving Bradshaw I did not write a single line to inquire after this poor little angel, or the ones who were keeping it. "After that first day I came here often. I soon convinced the child that I was it's most important the gladness that beamed in my soul when he reiprocated my love. We had jolty times together—rumping about like a pair of kids. "When you went to work at night, I used to come out here after you left the house for you evening toil. I used to come almost every night. I could not stay away. Something—the mother urge—would not allow me to stay and remain over my alotted time. That was the night little Floyd was so sick and I stayed with him until after 3 o'clock. As you know, Mr. Smith accompanied me home in a taxi!

Will her husband come to the unmarried mother of another impassioned plea of "Poor Caroor angered husband. Read and see Goodlow's intensely interesting borrow. over the night that. That was the only night that I remained away from home so long. My child was sick I deserted him once but I have scolded him because he grumbles sworn that I will never do so again. Now, my husband, that is the story that I wanted you to know. It isn't a pretty story isn't a story to self-esteem isn't a story to sympathy isn't a story to your vultures. I tell you this story without reservations to let you know, before you decide on your future actions, just what kind of woman you married. She finished with a sigh that sank into my very heart. The child was sound asleep in her arms. She crushed it to her breast and kissed it passionately. There were no tears in her eyes. Smith had ceased his pacing and was staring blankly at her. Mrs. Smith, Maude, sister of the murdered Ployd who died because he was a KIA driver, he ducked in and humpholeful I understood now why she acted so queerly. The weird scenes and memories of the mob might still haunted her. Suddenly as if the thought had just occurred to me, I looked at George. For a moment he stared down at the pathetic little woman who was softly weeping over her and felt a wonderful change had come over him. "Foolish one!" he muttered, dropping on his knees at her feet, placing his hands against her tear-stained cheeks and lifting her face so that he could look into her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me about Floyd Darrow a long time ago? Wasn't he a long time after all? Thoughtless, perhaps, as most mare, but he proved to be a man he had been his wife. Had he been a coward you would have been his wife. But he was a man. He gave his life in protecting you. Should you be ashamed to tell the work the story of a man who sacrificed for you? Should, or any man hate the posterity of such a man? He might have had his faults, but to desert the woman of his heart in times of peril was not one of them. Dry your eyes, I carol;干 your eyes and smile. Your story is the story of a man who was brave and of a woman who was loyal to him. "Then you believe—you understand." she exulted. "Yes, my Carolina," he murured. "But why did you not confide in me? You loved me, you say. Why did you not tell me this in the beginning?" "Please, please don't chide me! she laughed and crief together. Oh, I am so happy. I am a million times happy. If you still have faith in me, if you love me, and want me, and will take me home again, listen to this!" She pressed her lips to his ears. She wishered a few magic words. With a cry I cannot describe my friend leaped to his feet. I have never seen a man so overcome with excitement. For a minute or so he conducted himself like a ten year old kid. Then with a manche whoop he stooped, gath- Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials ered his wife and child up in his arms, and danced around the room with his double burden to the danger of damaging the furniture. She laughed and cried and protested and kissed him, and then when he got out of beath he dropped her into her chair again. The child, of course woke up, thinking no doubt that the house was falling in on top of him and he was missing the fun, but he did not indulge in a squall-fest. He whimpered a little as any kid would, but finally went back to sleep. "Now," said the excited man, dropping on his knees again in front of her, "let me plead with you for forgiveness." He breathed, stroked his hair as a mother would "Forgiving you for what?" "For what?" he cried, "For my doubts and fears and accusations. For my lack of faith in you. For the horrible thoughts I had concerning you. And last, for the cowardly attack I made upon you that morning when my madness made me believe that you were faintless." "my darling boy," she elided sweetly, the light of a wonderful light in her eyes as they drilled down to his very soul. "The first time you struck me that morning I kissed you. That is when I forgave you. That is all over now. We have understanding. No more shall we think of it. No more shall we mention it. It shall not mur our future happiness. It will be as a thing happened in a mad dream—thing to be forgotten as all mad dreams are. We know that we are ununderstood hunchy together. Now here is another question: shall we eat breakfast here with the Smiths, or shall we eat breakfast at AT HOME?" A little touch of humor makes the whole dara world glad. Carlin's quaint reference to breakfast was just the touch needed to dispel the last clouds of gloom from that house. We all laughed—even Matis Smith. Then we drifted out into the kitchen and left Georgia and Carolin' in there by themselves. I do not know what they talked about but it was nearly morning when the conversation bween them came to the next day when we came to the little cottage where I had first met Carolin'. The boy—little Floyd—went with them. He was to live with them always—a welcome asset to that now happy family. A week later Carolin' gave a little dinner and invited the Smiths and I, not to mention a number of her friends. We-had everything heart could wish for, including the stuff that cheers. During a lull in the festivities I drew George to one side away and he was, as well, happily happy mood, soolem-like, "slip an old pal some info. What did Carolin' whisper to you at the Smiths that night that excited you to the extent of grabbing her up and dancing, over the whole world and Mars including stations between?" "Can't you guess, old thickhead" he roared, slapping me on the face and giving a hand. You're solid oak from the shoulder blades north aren't you? Why my dear Watson, know by these presents that the Stork Special is due to stop at this station and discharge a young passenger very, very shortly." So gentleman, this ends the story of Poor Li'L Carolin', the woman who loved and was loved. PAGE EIGHT Potter Memorial School Forms A Strong Link In N. C. Educational System Trains Youth in Intelligent Use of Brain and Hand-Founder Has Brought the Institution to High Plane Against Great Odds M. C. N. HUNTER The Mary Potter Memorial School, Oxford, N. C. is one of the growing institutions of the race in this state. Having had its conception in the vision of Rev. G. C. Shaw, D. I. its principal, away back in 1890, it has been steadily forging forward, meeting and overcoming all the discouraging ingencies incident to so great undertaking until it took B in the determined high schools of the district, where requisite acceptance by the scales of ordaining requisite fitness and teachers certificates are awarded without further examination. The school has come into possession of fine property, many beautiful buildings and offers superior advantages to the young man and woman of the race in quest of thorough preparation for the increasing exactions of leadership. Dr. Shaw himself is a bright example of what can be accomplished by devotion, persistent faith, steady purpose, and vision. The young people who matriculated at Mary Potter Memorial School should recognize in him a source of lofty inspiration and look to the heights. Commencement Exercises The commencement exercises for the session of 1923-1924, opened Sunday 18, with the annual sermon to be delivered, class by Rev. H. George, Wilson, N. C., or 11 o'clock. The large chapel was densely packed by an appreciative audience which listened with deep interest to the words of counsel, wisdom, and encouragement that fell from the lips of the eloquent preacher. It was a sermon abounding in fine thought and must have left a lasting impression. At 8 p. m. of the same day, the president, Dr. Shaw, delivered his parting words to the school, always Dr. Shaw was busy in thought and expression. His address was uplifting, optimistic, Monday, May 19, 8:30 p.m. m. the annual musicale was the feature and drew to the auditorium a crowded house which thoroughly, enjoyed the rich treat which Prof. I. H. Buchanan and his assistants had provided. Tuesday, May 20, Class Day exercises at 11 o'clock n. m., and the oratorical contest at 8:30 p. m. Wednesday, May 21, the annual commencement took place in the presence of a refined audience that filled the auditorium. There were nineteen graduates occupying the rostrum which was tastefully decorated with evergreen, cut flowers and Old Glory. The program included musical selections, essays, orations, and the annual address to the graduates. The young people were happy with their education and in their treatment. They were strikingly original in thought and their delivery was good. All old so well that Goebbels gave special mention. The annual address was delivered by Dr. Frank M. Weston, Geneva, N.Y. We have been present on many similar occasions and have heard many addresses from some of the most distinguished men of the nation. There is no reservation in the assertion that the address of Dr. Weston was the most thoughtful, the most helpful, the most uplifting and soul moving, and was delivered in terms more eloquent than any we have not heard. His subject: "What Are You Worth," was presented in a manner that hinged the intense interest of the large concourse of hearers from the beginning. Any attempt at following the speaker would be futile. Nothing stenographic report would do him justice. It is to be regretted that our good friends could not suitable arrangement's for preserving such spandid deliverances for wide circulation and future effect. Otherwise they do not reach the masses and fail in the accomplishment of the great good which would follow their wider dissemination. We do greatly wish it were possible to give Dr. Weston's address entire. A beautiful and praiseworthy exhibit of the industries the school, tastefully displayed, featured the afternoon hours. The exhibits embraced results in the workshops, needle work, farm products and domestic science. The students are doing things. They are making practical applications of school room studies to the problems of life. They are not only learning about the problems of life, but doing to do them. We never know how to do things, until we actually do them. In this The Mary Potter Memorial School is fortunate in having a well-equipped mechanical, industrial and domestic science departments under the supervision of well-trained experts who are sending out students prepared to meet in a large way the exacting demands of practical life. Faculty Reception The evening of the day, from 7 to 9 o'clock was given over to a faculty reception to the Alumni and was in all respects a most delightful affair and highly enjoyed by all. The twenty-fifth commencement of the Mary Potter Memorial School passes into history. It faces the future with renewed hopes and under more propitious conditions tions. Dr. Shaw, the founder of the school, is a man of noble mould, high ideals, and anyielding faith. He was born a slave in 1863 in the town of Louisburg, N. C., received his early training and preparation for college in the public schools of the state and from private tutors. He graduated from Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, in 1886, studied one year at Princeton Theological Seminary, New Jersey, at the same time taking lectures in the college department for his A. M. This course was 3 years. He remained at Princeton one year, entered the New York, which he graduated in 1890. During this time he took an advanced course in Hebrew. He was fortunate in the choice of a help meet. He was married to Miss Mary Elizabeth Lewis, of Penn Valley, p.a., in 1890. Highly cultured in the best schools of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, she has been a telling factor in all the efforts of her noble husband. The school is under the control of the Fryedman's Board of The Presbyterian Church in the United States, and the Board of Trustees consists of Rev. S. J. Fisher, President, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Dr. E. T. White, Oxford, N. C.; Gen. B. Royer, Oxford, N. C.; E. C. Royer, Oxford, N. C.; Mr. S. Vick, Wichita, C.; Rev. H. A. Munchester, Boston, Mass.; Rev. J. Gaston, Sceryne-Trennuev, Pittsburgh, Pa.

WASHINGTON IN SPLENDID RECITAL Lawrenceville, Virginia, May 30—Monday of last week the group of Lawrenceville and vicinity enjoyed a rare musical treat. The occasion was a recital by Mrs. Carolyn Spurgeon, Spurgeon Virginia, Virginia, the spacious lower auditorium of St. Paul's Memorial Chapel was crowded to repletion by a large and representative audience. Mrs. Washington captivated her audience with the very first number, No. 1. The audience was clear birdlife soprano voice rang in the notes of this popular favorite the audience sat as if entranced for a moment, and then as the last notes died away, broke out into thunderous applause. This was followed by two other popular Fences and "Come To The Fair." Mrs. Washington was equally at home in singing Burleigh's sweet and tuneful "My Lord What A Morning" as in singing in Italian "Oech Turchine" by Denza. In addition to Negro folk songs, Mrs. Washington sang several beautiful Indian melodies. One could almost fancy he saw the "Weeping Waters" and the aid of the blue Skys as she put all her hands together in a wonderful voice in expressing the beauty and pathos of these Indian classics. "Spring's Awakening" "Homing" "The Meadow Lark" and Coleridge Taylor's beautiful and soulful "Thon Art Rise My Beloved" were among other enjoyable numbers. Mrs. Washington has a soprano voice of wonderful range and compass, one of the best we have ever heard at St. Paul. She was many times enceded and was forced to sing extra numbers. Some of our very best artists have appeared at St. Paul and it is perhaps paraphraseable that she says the equiv of any of them. Mrs. Laura Carr Elliott added much to the success of the recital by her splendid playing on the piano. All in all, it was one of the most enjoyable evenings ever spent by the faculty, students and friends, in attendance upon this recital.

The speaker in excellent style, held his audience spellbound throughout the discourse and would have been applauded many times but for the time and occasion. He spoke first of the convention, the school which it supported, namely Virgil's University of supporting this worthy necessity of supporting this worthy necessity of the Negro. In his simple but effective illustrations he showed the people that too many folks had to be cranked up and that there were not enough self-starters—too many kickers and too many workers—too many critics and not enough doors—too many theorists and not enough problem solvers. Particular stress was laid upon co-operative effort, education and time. The conclusion came all too soon. The speaker was wrought with enthusiasm and the congregation was awed by his eloquence. In his final remarks he stated that the Negro statted behind and had to travel faster than the fellow ahead in order to catch up, and in order to do this he would have to push the cow who is ahead and pull the cow is behind. And above all things a thing because of tomorrow because today is the tomorrow which we longed for yesterday. Toniorow, our tomitorioner, was the only proof that we ever lived. At three o'clock in the afternoon the pastor and congregation of the First Baptist Church worshiped with Rev. C. E. Reed at the Union Baptist Church, Shoulders Hill, Va. For the benefit of the Jubilee, a large congregation was present and the people responded liberally to the cause.

Senator Hiram Johnson of California has dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination to be President. He should not have dropped in. If the election of President should be thrown into the House of Representatives, as it may be, what then? The composition of the House is such as to make trouble in the election, which would then go to the Senate where more trouble would be inevitable. The present Congress is impossible, and we shall be glad when we have an opportunity to vote it out of power. Senator Carter Glass of Virginia has been forced forward as a possible nominee of the Democratic party for President. That is a compliment to Virginia which we can appreciate. Carter Glass is an outstanding American and we Virginians appreciate him, whether we are able to support him or may be constrained to oppose him, if he should be nominated by the Democratic party for the Presidency.

Editor Bryant Whips the Dragons One of the most significant things that happened at the General Conference of the African Methodist Church, at Louisville, recently, was the re-election of Mr. Ira T. Bryant, manager of the Sunday School Union and editor of The Allenite. We are told that his election was relatively unanimous. It was anticipated that there would be a great upheaval in the Conference over the election of Mr. Bryant to succeed himself. He had the entire Church in an uprоar over certain charges made by him against two of the Bishops, very prominent and influential, long before the meeting at Louisville, and it was expected that they would be influential in bringing about his downfall. All the world wondered what would happen. This happened, and it was the unexpected. There was no upheaval in the Conference; Mr. Bryant was quietly elected to succeed himself and the scandal of investigating the charges made by him which had shaken the foundation of the church were quietly smothered. Bishop of the Church are very human. They know that the eyes of the world are upon them, and that when they are accused of wrong doing the safest way is not always to come out in the open and prove that they are above reproach. There is plenty of hope for the African Methodist Church when men like Ira T. Bryant can be sustained in honest criticism of the doings of those highest in the Church.

The Japanese are Very Angry A great deal of pains have been taken by the American newspapers to minimize the consequences which may follow the signing of the immigration bill with the Japanese exclusion provision in it, because, they argue, the Japanese are not in a position to fight if they were so inclined, and the United States does not care a rap how the Japanese think about it anyhow. This is the attitude of the bully who swats a man in the face and punches him in the ribs, because he thinks the man to weak, and defenseless to help himself. A great A great deal of pain has been taken by the American newspapers to minimize the consequences which may follow the signing of the immigration bill with the Japanese exclusion provision in it, because, they argue, the Japanese are not in a position to fight if they were so inclined, and the United States does not care a rap how the Japanese think about it anyhow. This is the attitude of the bully who swats a man in the face and punches him in the ribs, because he thinks the man too weak, and defenseless to help himself. A great many such bullies have come to grief because of such swagger assurance. The Japanese are human and have feelings just as we have, and are disposed to be resentful, as we are, when an insult has been flung in their teeth. On the surface the diplomatic waters appear to be quiet enough, in spite of the fact that Ambassador Wood has resigned his post and will quit Japan, much to the regret of the Japanese who like him, and that Ambassador Hanahira, it is said, will resign his post at Washington and return to Japan. It is said also that the missionary work in Japan has been crippled by the exclusion clause and that many Japanese Christians are leaving the Church because they distrust "the Christian humanity, justice and brotherhood," as taught them by the missionaries. It has been made to appear that the white man's religion is not good enough for them. Strangely enough some of the native African newspapers are taking a similar position. Ten thousand former Japanese service men, on May 26, took part in Tokio, in an anti-exclusion demonstration and asked reservists of the entire country to unite for the sake of the fatherland. A resolution was adopted declaring that, in view of the American situation, they were ready to answer the call of military service. Shinkeki Uyesuji, noted Nationalist publicist, in addressing the reservists said: "If history teaches anything an eventual collision between Japan and America on the Pacific is inevitable." Lieut.-General Hirinouchi said: "We must be determined to undergo whatever hardships are necessary in avenging the insult which America has done our country." Political jingoes, gunning for votes to re-elect them to Congress, have made a war with Japan possible. The country does not want any war. Editorial Page of Madam Walker's Anniversary Five years ago the past Sunday death claimed one of the most remarkable women of her times, and of times since and removed from the Negro race one of its greatest benefactors as well as one of its most profound sources of inspiration—the late Madam C. J. Walker. However, Madam Walker's passing was only in the natural course of events, but it would be strangely unnatural were her memory so soon forgotten. But such has not been so. A life full of unselfish service such as she rendered will live in the hearts of men and in the grateful consciousness of her race for years unnumbered. Madam C. J. Walker stands out as the premier philanthropist of her race, not because she was the first to give largely to the Y. M. C. A., but because her total philanthropic gifts are not even approached by any person of color. It must be remembered that in addition to her many other gifts, the large trust funds created, that she left $98,000 in cash bequests to individuals, schools and college throut the country. Yes, Madam Walker will be remembered, loved and honored down the ages.

Wilkins in front of his place of business in New York a few days ago, there was rewritten an old, old story. A life-time spent in the association of shady characters and in the pursuit of questionable business is at all times subject to an untimely ending. Barron's tragic death, the shocking and regrettable, need not have been surprising. There is no safety in dealing with social scavengers. For forty years he had lived among them, been a part of them, knew their intimacies, befriended them and oftimes protected them from a deserved fate, and it was one of them who exacted his life. The old adage, "there is no honor among crooks," holds true in more instances than one. The famous New York sportsman and cabaret owner left wealth, a reputation known from coast to coast, thousands of admirers and many friends, and yet, he left an example unworthy of emulation by oncoming generations. He was kind and kept his hands in his pockets for his friends, it is said of him but it is to be recalled that much of his benefice was misdirected. It would have been better for society if many of those whom he kept out of jail had gone there; and, no doubt hundreds of aspiring youth have looked upon Barron Wilkins as an idol to be imitated and have shaped their lives with hopes of emulating him.

The Georgia Contest It has been interesting to those concerned with political party law and practices to observe the consecutive developments in the long fight between the Johnson and Phillips factions of the Republican party in Georgia and it will be more interesting to note whether the National Convention at Cleveland will seat the delegation headed by Phillips or the one headed by Johnson, the two comprising the most spectacular context of the few which will come up for settlement. If the convention seats the Phillips delegation it will repudiate for the first time the veteran of many intra-party conflicts—Henry Lincoln Johnson—the stern petrel of Georgia Republicanism. It will moreover, repudiate itself, for according to law and precedent as well as tradition and principle, Johnson has proved by the powerful brief he has submitted, as he has done on numerous occasions, that he and his organization are the lawful heirs and assigns of the original and defacto Republican party in Georgia, while Phillips and his organization represent the new order in Republican politics in the South—the order which proposes to create a party along strictly color lines, barring, colored men from membership just as the Ku Klux Klan would bar colored men or Jews or Catholics from membership. Whether the Republican party intends to put its seal of approval upon this sort of party principle—this revolutionary departure from party tradition—will be determined at Cleveland in the disposition of the Georgina case.

Safety Week This week is being observed as National Safety Week during which time municipal safety councils, railroads, steam, electric and automobile associations are drilling with great emphasis into the public car, "Cross Crossings Carefully." This week is being observed as National Safety Week during which time municipal safety councils, railroads, steam, electric and automobile associations are drilling with great emphasis into the public car, "Cross Crossings Carefully." Weeks for special observances seem to multiply and crowd so thick and fast upon our busy lives that we are scarcely given time to learn well the lessons they are supposed to teach. But no individual should feel too much engrossed in personal affairs as not to be able in some way to add his bit to safety education, even if it be no more than renewed determination to guard more carefully his own life and the lives of those who may at some time or another perchance to come within his keeping. Grade crossing accidents which have shown an appreciable reduction in the past two years, still claim a death-toll unnecessarily great. On account of the numerous grade crossings in this country and the prohibitive cost of elimination, this is a form of life waste that depends—for curtailment almost entirely upon the commonsense of users of the highways. There is no sense in an autoist driving heedlessly upon a railroad track or attempting to beat a moving train to it.

In fact, every person should make of himself Grade crossing accidents which have shown an appreciable reduction in the past two years, still claim a death-toll unnecessarily great. On account of the numerous grade crossings in this country and the prohibitive cost of elimination, this is a form of life waste that depends—for curtailment almost entirely upon the commonsense of users of the highways. There is no sense in an autoist driving headlessly upon a railroad track or attempting to beat a moving train to it. The chances are ninety-nine to one in favor of the locomotive and against the automobile. Pedestrials should exercise more and more care in crossing streets in our busy cities and the lesson should be thoroughly drilled into children from the toddling age to maturity. In fact, every person should make of himself a committee of one to look after his own personal safety and the safety of others as far as it be humanly possible, for him to do so. Accidents can be reduced, if the public simply wills to reduce them. Norfolk Journal and Guide Postal Savings Business Growing A very large number of people have no confidence in banks. They are afraid that their deposits will take wings and fly away. Many of these board their money in all sorts of ways, none of them safe, and the money does not earn interest and is withdrawn from circulation and therefore from use in the essential industries of the country. It is to the credit of the people of the country, however, that they are among the largest savings banks depositors in the world, and that the working capital they have deposited in the banks subject to checks and drafts is among the largest in the world. The people are fast becoming a very thrifty one; saving their money against a rainy day, instead of spending it for perishable things they do not need and can get along without. That. Afro-Americans have become more industrious and thrifty during the past quarter of a century than formerly is shown in their farm owning, the growth of their banks and insurance companies and the steady growth of their small business concerns, which are bound to grow with the years. Own a home or a farm and have a bank account is now regarded very generally among us in the same "matter of pride" way with which other race groups regard it. That is as it should be. The person who owns a home or farm or bank account is a marked one among his followers, although he may not know it. His standing in the community is assured. The fact that the post savings business of the country on April 20, showed deposits of $133,539,742, indicates that a large number of people feel that their money is safer in the keeping of the Government than in other sorts of keeping. A large number of these people are foreigners, who have been swindled by private banking concerns conducted by men of their own race. It is largely due to this fact that New York City, which has the largest foreign population, leads with deposits of $42,423,659. Brooklyn, across the river comes next. Only thirteen post offices are in the million dollar class, and all of these, except St. Louis, are in the New England and Middle States. There are 117 postal banks, but Virginia is not represented in the statement before us, and there are only seven such in all of the Southern States.

DAY DREAMS Just beyond the rainbow's end Waiting by the way, Where the fairies sprightly tend In their saintly way; Thru the sky a chiff of blue Towers as it streams, Where the pollen licks the dew Winds the road of dreams. It is there the silver moon Revels in delight, Where the sprightly fairies spoon Far into the night. There with much surprising grace Dance our fondest dreams. Trying hard to find a place Mid the rainbow's gleams. Misled groomups, children too Spend long hours of day. Gazing at the sky so blue Watching fairies play. Dut like rainbow, day dreams bring Through the velvet dark. Peace of mind and songs to sing To the morning lark. Spirit of the Press While Congress Refuses to Act From the St. Louis Arms. While the Congress of the United States is dilly-dallying and spending its time over the mere trifles, lynching and murder of the most brutal sort go merrily on. The lynching of two Negroes at Fort Myers, Florida, a few days ago for alleged assault on two white girls, show just what little regard the people of many communities have for law and order of their respective states: To ask the sheriff, the answer would be, "I am powerless." To ask the Attorney General of the State, his answer is, "I can do nothing." To put the matter up to the Governor of the State, his answer is, "It's a local affair." Thus the same old story of 35 years, which has allowed lynching to go on in this country unchecked. The United States owes the protection of life and property to all its citizens alike.

The United States owes the protection of life and property to all its citizens alike. This protection is guaranteed through the several states. The failure on the part of a state to carry out this provision of the Constitution of the United States, immediately the responsibility falls upon the National government. Let the Congress of the United States look for a moment, if it will, at the more than three thousand and five lynchings in the United States. Then let the members of Congress look at their oath of office. There is talk of adjourning within a few days without enacting any laws for the protection of life and property. Thus while Congress refuses to act, lynching goes merrily on. We shall have a fine lot of graduates soon from all of the schools of the country. Some of them give promise of great usefulness in a large way, but the most they may do will be no greater that the average influence of the army of educated phloeders who will labor in the ordinary walks. We need the few on top, high up, to lead the way, but they will not get far without an intelligent constituency, and the great body of graduates make this constituency when they all get down to the work of life. Says Destiny Of World Politics Lay In The Hands Of Sixty American Negroes In 1912 Harkening back to the memorable Republican National Convention of 1912 when in the great Coliseum of Chicago, Theodore Roosevelt made a gallant but unsuccessful fight for a third-term nomination for the presidency, and in so doing flung the Grand Old Party on the reefs and caused the election of Woodrow Wilson, the New York Times tells in a recent issue what purports to be an unwritten chapter of events that were then pregnant with possibilities of reversing the whole political situation. These events of the unwritten chapter, at last revealed, revolved around a more handful of Negro delegates, according to the Times, and were capable in their final result of shaping world destiny for the succeeding eight years, and maybe, for succeeding generations. When the convention was deadlocked and the machine was working smoothly for William Howard Taft and rolling out defeat for the invincible "Teddy," there was persecution in the brain of one man: a plan. A plan that would have undoubtedly swung the 60 Negro delegates to "Teddy" in spite of party regularity, and won for him the nomination. But the plan failed, caited because it never got to the ears of Henry Lincoln Johnson, leader of the colored delegation. Here follows the Times' story: --- The data constitute an unwritten chapter of the proceedings incident to the 1912 convention and a noteworthy addition to Rooseveltian literature, insinuasme as Taft might not have been nominated had the messenger reached his goal, Roosevelt might not have bolted, and, possibly, Wilson might not have been elected. Certainly the famous "steam roller" that figured so prominently in the convention would not have proved as effective as it did. General James S. Clarkson, now dead, at that time still highly esteemed by Calebor Roosevelt and active, although 70 years of age, was responsible for an attempt to swing the Negro delegates, in a bloc if possible, away from Taft. It was his appeal to the Negroes, with whom he had always been exceptionally friendly and who trusted him, that remained undelivered when Taft was nominated by a handful of votes above the number required. The appeal was addressed to Henry Lincoln Johnson, Negro delegate at large from Geigin, and leader of his people. General Clarkson had virtually retired from politics and was in business in New York. He had been high in the party councils five times delegate-at-large to Republican National Conventions and Chairman of the Republican National Committee. He was First Assistant Postmaster General under President Harrison, and Roscoe, when President made him supervisor of Port of New York. For twenty years he had been regarded as having charge of the Negro vote in the national convention and he had a strong personal following among Negro politicians. This following was based on the fact that the Clarksons, when General Clarkson was a boy in Iowa, operated an "underground tunnel" in Grundy County and helped more than 500 slaves to escape into Canada. Then, tea, when in office General Clarkson had appointed many Negroes to subordinate positions, and he thoroughly understood the care. TAYLOR ROOSEVELT FIGHT The Tafft-Rossevelt fight was on. It was bitter and it was close. Rossevelt, it will be recalled, was on the field himself, making speeches, holding conferences, a militant, and spectacular figure, facing it seemed, almost certain defeat. He sent for Clarkson, and the latter, with his son Grosvenor B. Clarkson, later Director of the Council of National Defense in the Wilson Administration, went to Chicago at the eleventh hour. Father and son roomed together at the Congress Hotel. Although few in Chicago realized it, us the lines were more tightly drawn, the sixty-six Negro delegates actually held the balance of power in the convention. The hectic week was drawing to a close, with the wreckage of old party ties and even old friendships strewn all about. The steam roller was in operation but, for the moment, blocked. Friday night came with the deadlock undone. The late George Perkins was doing his utmost to round up the Negro delegates for Roosevelt, but was following methods distinctly his own. It was in fact, almost impossible to get a list of these delegates. Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of Reviews, and Grosvenor Clarkson tried their utmost to get such a list. Meanwhile many of the Negroes, hearing that General Clarkson was in town, went to his room and said in effect: "General, this new crowd don't understand us. They don't think we are Americans and that we can all be bought Tell us what to do. We'll even vote for Cummins if you say General Clarkson kept his hands off, however, according to his son, until Saturday morning. At dawn that day Grosvenor Clarkson awoke and saw a light, shining over the transom of the bath room. He found that his father had pulled a table in there, so as not to awaken him, and was writing away as hard as he could, as he had done years before when he and his Saturday, June 7,1924 . 4. paper, The Iowa State Register, were political powers in Iowa. "I believe I have the solution." he told his son, "It came to me like a flash. Have this transferred and take it to the Column." SUGGESTED ROBERT T. LINCOLN He handed his son a manuscript. It was an appeal to the Negroes addressed to Johnson. It was an conditional appeal, asking Johnson to sink antigravitie and rise in the convention as a leader of his people and nominate in commemoration of the sent-sentorial of the constitution of the Negroes by Abraham Lincoln, the latter's son, Robert T. Lincoln. The appeal was a long document. It covered nearly ten type-written pages. It started far back in the days of slavery, when General Clarkson was a lad, and the keeper of it was this: "I have always believed in placing human rights over vested rights and all property rights." General Clarkson went on to tell of his activities as a boy in half of the shares, of his meeting with John Brown and of the latter's activities and then touched lightly on his own career in public office. "The letter to Johnson continued; "In the years since, as the Republican party has wavered and perjured itself and betrayed Lincoln's premises and constitutional amendments that it adopted, and allowed both the political and the civil rights of the Negroes in the Southern States largely to disappear, and as it has turned from the issues of sentiment on which it came into power and was long kept in supreme power, to material and social issues, I have been growing discontented as a Republican and ill at ease in politics. As Republican Presidents and Republican Congresses have leapt on gradually admonishing the Negro and the protection of his political and civil rights, and of his home and family, I have grown more and more discontented. "With the spectacle today of the party no longer appointing colored Republicans to official places in the South, no longer protecting the colored man nor attempting even to prevent the growth of pro-age of both men and women—a worse and more brutal form of slavery than the old sort—and the further spectacle of the Tammany Society of New York, which, with all its faults, has the one gold en quality of being human and often helping the weak, having today probably more colored men holding office than the Republican party has in the whole country. North and South, I have felt less and less like working in politics and have been occupying myself on my fifty-acre farm." There was then, in the letter a reference to General Clarkson's coming to the convention and his not having seen Johnson wherefore he is sending the letter and making a suggestion. CHANCE TO EXERCISE POWER He continued: "You and your people now have a chance to exercise a power which God has been more and more placing in your hands, with which you can arouse the Republican party from its indifference to your rights. You have been gaining hearings nowhere for years, in Congress or Executive power, and have been almost completely abandoned by the party press. With your sixty-six votes in this great convention, which is marking a mighty change from the old order to the new, you can compel attention to and get consideration of your rights, together with something far more than the party's habit of the last twelve years of merely putting a fine resolution of smear words into the national platform and then abandoning you and doing nothing until the National Convention shall have met again. A great race which now numbers four times as many people as the whole Republic had at the time of the Revolution can not live on the muckery of resolutions alone. "What I venture to suggest is that in recognition of your duty to your people and in commemoration of the semicentennial of the emancipation of the race by Abraham Lincoln, you and your sixty-five colleagues join in enacting your votes for President for Robert Lincoln, the son of the Emancipi- pator and a man fit in every requirement of ability and fidelity to be President, and in voting for him until you succeed in getting him nominated or until the convention puts in its platform some assurance that will put an end to the mocking of your people and allowing their rights to hapse and be ignored in spite of the fact that no race in the history of mankind has proved to the world in fifty years its fidelity to the Government and its fellow-men as your race has done since the war." ther General Clarkson wrote: "If I were a black man I would vote with that party which would be fair to me and mine. If your people of the South would divide as a party and vote each for the party which best represents the opinion and by the Southern people know that you are willing to submit to any test of the suffrage that is laid on all men of all race, their increasing tendency to be more just to you would be more and more accelerated." This amazing suggestion from a stalwart Republican, who had served half a century in the Republican party, rising to a position of party generalship, that the Negroes sever their connection with the Republican Party where it appeared to their best interest to do so, indicates to what surprising lengths the bitter fight of 1912 within the party had gone at that time. Toward the close of his letter Clarkson wrote, too: "Races as well as men must know when their lines of fortune change. So your race must now recognize, with thankfulness, to God and with new courage, that your line of fortune is changing for your final vindication and victory." ROGESVELT SAID. Go To It The younger Clarkson had the letter typed and handed a copy of it to Colonel Roosevelt that morning. Saturday, Roosevelt read it. Grosvenor Clarkson says, rapidly, as was his custom, then snapped his teeth and said sharply: "This is an inspiration. Go to it as fast as you can." It was the day on which the nomination of Taft was "put over." Young Clarkson says the entrances were all guarded and Taft supporters were in control everywhere. Johnson had broken a leg some time before and could not get in or out of the Coliseum easily. Young Clarkson tried to get in to him but failed. The air of the convention hall was tense; the Taft people were nervous, fearful of anything that might start a break in the ranks that were neither overstrong or oversteady. Griswenger Clarkson tried to get into the hall to Johannen in every way he knew. He knew that face was playing against him and that Johnson could not come to him. He felt he could not entrust the appeal to a third party. All his efforts at gaining an entrance failed. He sent a message to Johnson, but he did not learn whether it was ever delivered. The place was in a turmoil, as all who attended the convention remember, General Clarkson's letter was never delivered. "My father's letter was never delivered," said Grossevoy Clarkson yesterday. "That it been, I firmly believe that it would have diverted enough Negro votes to have swung the convention to Roosevelt. Many competent judges of such matters have since called the letter a mast-place of political pleading. Many of the Negro delegates afterward told both General Clarkson and my MF that they could not have resisted so overwhelming an appeal to their blood and their traditions regardless of their convention pledges." General Clarkson's letter was written in the early morning of June 22. That night Taft was nominated, 641 votes being cast for him and 107 for Roosevelt, albeit 311 were recorded as not having voted and the ballot stunted the Progressive bolt. The number of votes required to nominate was 510, so that Taft had the narrow margin of 21 votes. Had General Clarkson's letter reached Johnson and had one-half of the effect possible, Taft's nomination would not have been possible. The latest discussion has been on painless denisity. A number of the pearl pullers have signs, "Teeth Extracted Without Pain." And that doesn't mean very much. In fact it never meant very much. That sign has always been a deceptive one. There hasn't been a painless extraction yet. 'One man went to a dentist, who had one of those signs and said he wanted a painless extraction. He looked so depressed, pale and sickly the next day that all of his friends wanted to know why he didn't go to a painless dentist. He said it wasn't the tooth that caused all of the pain, but the doctor's bill. He said that he was pulled off of his feet when the doc presented the bill for damages. He told him that he didn't want the family's teeth pulled and put back. The bill seemed to indicate that that was what he was paying for. It would be a good idea if the dentists would use laughing gas when they presented the bills to their patients.
