Cotten, formerly pastor of the Brown Church, Norfolk, with the others suffered the heaviest damage. Dr. Cotten is now presiding elder of the Roanoke disfric of the A. M. E. Church. The first intimation the sleeping hushes had of the attack upon homes and lives came when explosion was heard at the door of Mrs. Elia Mason, which first door to that of Rev.

Bowling's Sermon on Bible's Fallibility Draws Criticisms of Baptist Ministers Conference. QUESTION DISCUSSED AT WEEKLY MEETING Entering the auditorium of his church Monday just before noon, where the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Norfolk and vicinity was in session, carrying a suitcase filled with volumes of Biblical authority, Rev Richard H. Bowling, pastor of the First Baptist Church, prepared to face charges of teaching heresy brought against him by a committee appointed at a previous meeting of the conference to interview him regarding a sermon he recently preached in which he disclaimed infailability of the Bible. In the church, Rev Bowling was flanked by his associate pastor, Rev Jacobs, who, also taking part in the proceedings, sat close by him thrust into the meeting. It had been felt by members of the conference after reading assertions made by Rev Bowling in his sermon as appeared in the Journal and Guide that he was guilty of heresy, and inasmuch as the committee that interviewed him failed to obtain a retraction of those statements, or a recanting of his position, it recommended that the conference go on record as reaffirming its belief in the infailability of the Bible and to admonish Rev. Bowling to desist from preaching such doctrine as contained in the sermon in question. COMMITTEE'S REPORT The committee's report which was given verbally by Rev. O. C. Jones, of Portsmouth, threw the conference into an animated discussion which at times threatened to become nironious. But thru the sheer exercise of charity and forbearance under the strain of a desire to hear and be heard, the preachers succeeded in handling the business before them without creating bitterness, and altho at the close of the meeting a unanimous agreement was nowhere insight, the spirit of friendliness was apparent and no feeling had been injured. The opportunity for heated discussion interspersed with brief flights of oratory presented itself when Rev. Bowling sought to prevent the body from acting on the committee's report before granting him a hearing on the conference floor. In his contention he was supported by a number of ministers. Rev. C. P. Madison obtained the floor and in a brief talk pointed to the fairness of Rev. Bowling's request to be heard, and aided materially in gaining for him the floor over the persistent protests of Rev. O. C. Jones, of Portsmouth. ARGUMENT AGAIN UNLOOSED When Rev. Bowling arose and began to read a prepared statement, many were of the opinion that he purposed to explain his position regarding the sermon out of which the charges grew, but instead his statement simply contained a request that he be heard in an appeal from the findings of the committee. Here the discussion broke loose again. Rev. O. Jones was demanding a vote on the motion for action on the committee's report. Rev. Bowling was insistent that the conference hear his side in detail before acting on the findings of the committee. A dozen or more members were on the floor clamoring recognition (Continued on Page Siz) DR. ROBINSON RUN DOWN ON JERSEY PIKE Hit By Speeding Car While Repairing Tire of His Own Machine; Driver Arrested Shortly After Accident. ASSOCIATE SURGEON AT DOUGLAS HOSPITAL (Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide) Philadelphia, Pa., July 7—Dr. George A. Robinson, 33 years old, associate surgeon at the Douglas Hospital here and one of the leading doctors of the country, was fatally injured Saturday when struck by an automobile while repairing a tire of his own car on the White Horse Pike, near Hammonton, N. J. He died as he was being carried into the Hammonton Hospital. The car which killed Dr. Robinson also knocked down Dr. Dayton H. C. Wilson, another physician, but did not injure Dr. Wilson. Dr. Wilson and Mrs. Robinson who was in her husband's car, ran after the other machine, but its driver sped away without stopping. Neither Mrs. Robinson nor Dr. Wilson caught the license number, but shortly afterward a stranger in the crowd which gathered slipped a piece of paper into Mrs. Robinson's hand. It contained a series of figures which turned out to be the speeding car. Mrs. Robinson gave the paper to State Troopers, who telephoned to the Department of Motor Vehicles at Trenton and learned that the owner of the car was Joshua Ware, 30 years old, of West Berlin, N. J. They found Ware painting his car and trying to straighten a mudguard. He admitted that he had run over a man, but insisted that after realizing that he had done so he had driven back to the scene of the accident, only to find no one there. Ware was arrested, and was Albert Weeks of West Berlin, who was with him in the automobile. NEGRO NAVY BAND ENTERTAINS HERE Tour of United States.

P.; According to Dr. Elwood Linsay Haines, head of St. John's Academy and Industrial school, Cape Mount, Liberia, the Ku Klux Klan of America has nothing on an organization among 2,000,000 natives of Liberia known as "The Human Leopard Society."

LAWRENCE President Interstate Dental Association DR. I. M. LAWRENCE President Interstate Dental Association NO, HONESTY IS NOT EXTINCT Shakespeare said, "To be honest, as the world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousands." According to the action of Mr. Thomas Lamb, a jitney driver of this city, he is that one out of ten thousand. Thursday night coming from Queen St. Church, Miss Marie Shell in paying her fare gave the driver a five dollar bill for what she thought was a one dollar bill. She did not notice the mistake until the next morning. Making several attempts to locate the driver who had been the one to receive the bill, and failing, she gave up her search and forgot about her loss. The next important event in this episode of honesty was the discovery by the driver that he had four more dollars than his checking up showed he should have. He immediately set out to find the person to whom it belonged. Of course he gladly returned, it, according to the report received in this office. "Every man has his fault, "Every man has his fault, and honesty is his." TRADES FROCK COAT FOR JOB THAT AIN'T Preacher and Companion Arriving in the city via of a train reaching Union Station at 8 o'clock p. m., Tuesday, July 8, from Sabuda, S. C., a man describing himself as Rev. Thomas Coleman and a companion who gave his name as Alonzo Weaver, proceeded to find their way uptown, but before getting very far were spotted by a white man, they told the police, who inquired if they wanted work. They answered they did, according to their story, union which the white man informed them he was looking for porters for the Pullman service. He painted an alluring picture of the big money earned at the work and the congeniality of the occupation. The South Carolinians became greatly excited over what appeared to them as good fortune in locating jobs as soon as putting foot in Virginia. Of course, the employing agent had to have $25.00 before he could place the men, and in order to accommodate him the preacher and his companion handed over $15.00 in cash, the minister's long suit-tail blue serge coat valued at $6.00, a silk shirt valued at $4.90 with the privilege of pawning them to make up the difference. The man escorted his new "employees" to the Portsmouth ferry, where he pointed out the steamer approaches for colored people, and then proceeded about his business which was not getting Pullman jobs for the Reverend and his friend. The police were notified of the incident, but there was nothing they could do for the Carolinians except to sit down and begin to instruct them in the ways of a certain element of people in Norfolk. They say the man gave his name as Amos Collins. LYNCHINGS TAKE BIG TUMBLE FOR FIRST HALF YEAR Records Show Thirty-one Less Mob Fatalities Than Equal Period for 1921; Stake Burning Losing Popularity.

Y., July 9—Announcement has been made that emigration from Jamaica to the United States has been stopped, at least temporarily, and that the American Consul at Kingston has been instructed by Washington that only passports of Americans desiring to come north are to be vised. First intimation of the new restriction was received here when a large number of Jamaicans planning to depart for the United States during July and August, upon applying for passports were told an American law became effective July 1, putting a check on emigration from the West Indies to the United States. This information was promptly sent by natives of the islands to relatives and friends in New York. Immigration officials at Washington admit that under the regulations of the new immigration act the British quota restrictions will operate against British subjects of the West Indian possessions. "The quota exemption of the Western Hemisphere applies only to the self-governing dominions of the British Empire, which means that the West Indian Islands possessed by Great Brijan and other European powers will fall within the quota restrictions." Commissioner Husband explained. MARIA MAYER If you want beautiful hair like others have, get a can of PLUKO HAIR DRESSING today.

Andrew Society for the promotion of dental research at which time he received a gold key. He is the second colored man to be elected to this society. Norfolk Business Institute Opens The Norfolk Business Institute, a new educational enterprise for this city, opened at the Community Center Monday night, July 8. According to statements made by the registrar, a large number of students reported and registered and classes will begin in full Monday night, July 14. Students in Norfolk and adjoining towns are showing great interest in the courses, reports the registrar, which include a straight business course for those who desire to fit themselves for secretarial work or clerical positions; a civil service postal carriers course; civil service field clerical course; lectures in business law and problems in accounting, and coaching in correspondence subjects. Norfolk has long been in need of a business institute for colored people, states those interested in the project, especially for those boys and girls who have finished high school and are not in a position to further their education in a higher institution. This, they say, is shown by a large percentage of registration of high school graduates. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE The instructors are graduates of colleges and commercial schools of note located in the North and propose to make the Norfolk Business Institute an A grade commercial school. The school's advertisement on page two announces details of the courses to be included in the curriculum. MRS. MAGGIE HERE MONDA Mammoth Mass Mened to Greet Ap Distinguished V OAKWOOD Mt.

O. J. Allen, pastor, by the Norfolk chapter of the order Monday night, July 14. Mrs. Walker is one of the nationally known women of the race and holds the distinction of being the only woman bank president in America. She is an organizer and leader of note having guided the destinies of the Order of St. Luke until it now commands preeminence among fraternal-insurance organizations. As a public speaker she possesses a charming personality and never fails to deliver a highly inspirational message. Plans for the great mass meeting have been perfected by Mr. J. S. Collins, Supervising Deputy of Virginia, who as the result of assidious work in this section in interest of the order has succeeded in greatly extending its influence in Norfolk and vicinity. A large crowd is expected to greet Mrs. Walker at First Calvary Monday night, where many will for the first time probably have their opportunity of meeting the only woman bank president in America and a most distinguished race leader.

B. Y., Jr.— Sports Editor. By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Following its custom to give its readers the best service, and to advance the good of the public, the Journal and Guide has plans on foot to run a special football edition before the coming season. In this edition football schedules will be released of all the teams of any prominence. In addition to this, views of the coaches, managers, and other well known personages connected with football will be given. In this way, the fans and graduates of the various schools can have a composite grouping of all the schedules to be referred to at any time when the date of a game is in doubt. Furthermore, the ideas of those who have intimate knowledge of college and high school football will be given, and in this way some advance idea of the kind of season and the kind of performances can be estimated. Prejudice In Athletics Prejudice in Athletics There is prejudice in athletics as in anything else. The situation is perplexing and disgusting in some cases. In an article on this page there is a report of a Negro lad, who was the only boy of his race in the South Dakota State College, who was recently unanimously elected captain of the basketball team. True Sportsmanship These instances prove to us that all white America has not completely perverted its ideals. There is the case of West and his election to the track captainship, and more recently the giving of his trip to the Olympic games by his school after the committee looked over him and his wonderful record. But there is another episode in this West case. The other episode is this. West, after being sent to the games by his school, was put into the entries for the pentathlon. But—and here is the villiany—there was a technical error in his entry and the French would not let him participate. We would not accuse the American team managers of deliberately making an error to keep West from competing, but we will say that it is a mighty peculiar mistake for a group of officials to make after sending in around 300 other entries. Why the mistake in the entry of a man who had already been given a bad deal. Tennis Stars Dr. John McGriff, of Portsmouth and a member of the Tidewater Tennis Club of Norfolk, and Dr. E. D. Downing of Roanoke, the national doubles champs are cleaning up all opposition in their matches prior to the national tourney. Dr. McGriff is seventh ranking national singles player and first on the men's doubles team along with Dr. Downing. His pre-tournament playing shows that he and Dr. Downing will bear watching in the doubles and that they bid fair to repeat their victory of last year. Off have I lobbed; and at last have learned That practice is the cheapest way to earn Scores; such as 40—love, game, and footburn. If there is delight in sport, 'tis when I see The stroke, which others plead for, work for me. Gourdin's record of 25 feet and 3 inches was beaten by 3 inches by Legendre in the Pentathlon. This makes Hubbard's attempt to break the world's record seem less easy. Not taking any credit from Legendre, it must be said that conditions must have been near that proverbial 100 per cent. GRAYS SIGN NEW CATCHER Pittsburg, Pa., July 10—(P. N. S.)—The Homestead Gray management, following the 10-10 tie with the Finkelhors Wednesday night, secured the services of Chet Foreman, formerly with the Cleveland and the Columbus Buckeyes, to replace Beckwith behind the bat. Manager Posey announced that all efforts to get two Eastern stars had fallen through, and that these men would remain with the club they are now playing with until St. Paul Has FineFootball Prospects St. Paul Has FineFootball Prospects (Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide) Lawrenceville, Va., July 10— The phenominal rise of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School in athletics is the sensation of the decade. Having climbed step by step from cellar to garret in competitive inter-collegiate and intramural sports, and having attained a commanding place in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, prove the wisdom of an athletic system of the students, by the students and for the students, and supervised by the faculty and directed by the administration. There is no school in the country that could not profit by the adoption or acquisition of such a spirit and policy as may be found at St. Paul. The athletic interests of the School are managed by the Athletic Council and the Student Athletic Board representing the faculty, alumni and students. This plan of supervision creates confidence and insures a high standard of ethics as well as close co-operation between the three great branches of the institution. The immediate supervision and direction of athletics rest with the graduate manager. Physical education is compulsory, and this course is a part of the curriculum. FOOTBALL PROSPECTS EXCELLENT The "wonder team" will enter the football arena on October 4th, with the C. I. A. A. Championship as their main objective. The Tiger team of St. Paul is one of the strongest aggregations in the C. I. A. A. and for the past two years was directly responsible for the astounding and memorable gridiron upsets. The prospects of a well-balanced, experienced and speedy team were never brighter. Several "dark horses" will don the varsity togs in 1924, and these new players are men of exceptional training, dexterity and demonstrated ability. Although Coaches Douglass and Taylor are working out a series of plays, it is the consensus of opinion that the celebrated "Douglass Shift," and the famous "Taylor Snap" will predominate. Graduate Manager J. L. Whitehead has notified the varsity men to report for practice Tuesday September 9th. Captain "Jake" Burrell will probably arrive a week ahead of his teammates. He and the coaches have arranged for several conferences in order to solve the knotty problems before the first real test which will be on October 11th, in Washington, where the Tiger and the Bison will battle for gridiron honors in the American League Park. PLAY HAMPTON AT NORFOLK St. Paul's 1924 Football Schedule is as follows: Oct. 4, N. C State Normal at Lawrenceville Oct. 11, Howard at Washington Oct. 18, Hampton at Norfolk; Oct 25, A. & T. at Lawrenceville; Nov 1, Va.

The first official athletic bulletin has just been released by the St Paul Normal and Industria a School Press. This commendable and carefully arranged publication gives a history of St. Paul's athleties; and it is featured by cut made from current photographs The booklet, which is the first of its kind to be published by a Negro school, should be a part of the collection in every library.

If them fellows in the democratick convention don't no how to bring things to a quick ending, jess let them go an ask me. What it takes to do it, I am bubbling over with. I got a few splinters that I will gibe to convention don't no how to bring things to a quick ending, jess let them go an ask me. What it takes to do it, I am bubbling over with. I got a few splinters that I will gibe to them to put in they flatform an it will help to speed up things a little an a hole lot what I mean. Them fellows been in a hot thing for a pair of weaks an they aint done nothing yet. Now the few splinters what I got is very simple an if they uses them, why things will go long a hole lot smoother. And they is this: The 1st thing they ought to go head and do is, order all the candidates to bring 'long running pants and shoes.' In this method they won't have and difficulty when it come down to the marathon. The delegates ate, etc. won't have to go the d'time in the regular pants and run the risks of tearing them. They can save them to wear back here. This will also save the old kid a lot of work sewing on his hats. Now here goes for splint! No too. The best idea of all might like another wink think. And that is, having a regular eight hour day schedule, time an a half for overtime, Sundays an holloway. By doing like that they delegates won't not have to work so hard cause they will knock off when the whistles took. If one of these silver tongued ornators gets up to say sumthing an gets the word half out an the whistle blows, why he would quit working right then and there, pull off his overhauls grab his lunch bucket an go bout his B-LZ. The convention's been going on so long that the newspaper men have run clean out of words an they don't not know what to write bout the happenings. They is using signs now, cause they have used all the words in the english language. Course if they wants sum moore I will go head an give them sum frum my Obituary—no I mean Vocabulary.

ELKS TAKE FAST ONE FROM BEACON LIGHTS The Elks team of this city added another game to its list of victories when they defeated the Portsmouth Beacon Lights in a close game to the tune of 3 to 2. The game was played on the glorious Fourth and was a thriller in spots. Both teams were guilty of errors, but the players more than made up for that in some cases by their brilliant fielding. Newman Crump, and Knight led in batting for the Elks with two hits in four times up. No Beacon light made more than one hit. Manager J.

DEHART HUBBARD OLYMPIC VICTOR DEHART HUBBARD OLYMPIC VICTOR (Special in Norfolk Journal and Guide) Olympic Stadium, Colombs, France, July 8—Dchart Hubbard, sensational Negro star of the University of Michigan, was crowned the Olympic champion in the broad jump today when he scored a victory in that event with a jump of 24 feet and 6 inches. His attempt to break the record was unsuccessful, he probably realizing that the new record made by Legendre of 25 feet and 6 inches was a little less than miraculous and something that will not happen for every jumper. However he was crowned with undying glory, for he had the best jumps in the world against him and when he won the event and helped America to pull away from Finland, he received a great ovation. Clarence Houser, University of Southern California, whose winning toss of 49 feet 2 1-2 inches pulled America's lead still higher, also came in for a deal of glory. Earl Johnson failed to place in the 10,000 metres run. Willie Ritola set a new record in the event and the going was too strong for the rest of the field., he lappig most of it. West was unable to compete because of a technical error in his entry. Charles Brookins, Iowa star, placed well in the 400 metres hurdles, but was at first disqualified because he struck a barrier. He later was given his points, however. The Stars and Stripes waved triumphantly tonight over the Olympic stadium, the third day of the Olympic games having witnessed a great battle for international athletic supremacy, in which the United States put its strongest rival, Finland, to gout in two of the three finals contested, and took almost a two to one lead in the point struggle. GOURDIN JUMPS 25 FEET AND 8 INCHES Special to Norfolk Journal and Guid Colombes, France, July 9.—Eddie Farrell, one of the assistant coaches, disclosed the fact that Ned Gourdin, Negro star who placed second in the broad jump yesterday, jumped 25 feet 8 inches this morning while demonstrating for the movies. This is one foot, two inches further than DeHart Hubbard jumped in winning the event, and exceeds the world's record established by Bob Legrendre in the pentathlon, when the Newark man leaped 25 feet 6 inches. deception with body and footwork than any player in this section His shiftiness, tactful maneuvering and aggressiveness always placed his team in a vantage position.

GLOBE BATTLE IN EASTERN LEAGUE --- Philadelphia, Pa., July 10—(A. N. P.)—Lincoln Giants of the Eastern Colored Baseball League, and the Hilldales are tied with the New Yorkers for first place. For the brief period of three days Hilldales led by reason of wins over the Baltimore Black Sox, 9 to 7, and Brooklyn Royal Giants, 4 to 2. Both games were plays at Hilldale Park, and in the meantime the Lincoln Giants were idle. Hilldale then broke even with the Baltimore Black Sox while the Lincoln Giants again sped into the lead. The Lincoln Giants have lost the services of both catchers, Gee, and Burnett, who were injured in an auto accident. The misfortune will hurt the Giant's chances.

WHY, IT'S A SPORT MODEL DOMKEY! BECKWITH A GREAT HELP TO BALTIMORE BECKWITH A GREAT HELP TO BALTIMORE Baltimore, Md., July 10—It is a fact that few, if any ball clubs ever won a pennant without a stellar performer at short says the sports editor of the Afro-American. He continues by saying: In the acquisition of Beckwith formerly of the Homestead Grays, Pittsburgh, the Sox have one of the greatest performers at this position in the Eastern League. Manager Posey, himself, admits that Beckwith is a star but due to personal reasons the two agreed to disagree and parted. The fans with one accord always give Beckwith the glad hand, and he is proving beyond a doubt his worth to the Sox. GRAYS ROMP OVER HOUSE OF DAVID Pittsburg, Pa., July 10—(P. N. S.)—Uleashing a hitting attack that was impossible to stop, and batting two House of David pitchers to all corners of spacious Forbes Field, home of the Pittsburg Pirates, the Homestead Grays defeated the club from Benton Harbor, Mich., 14-2 in a game devoid of any unusual thrills. Rile, formerly with Rube Foster's American Giants, twirled masterly hall for the Grays, setting down the opposition with five scattered bingles. The visitors scored all of their runs in one inning, a hit batsman, an error and a triple doing the work. The Grays collected 14 hits, Cannady, Gray and "Serappy" Brown doing most of the stickwork.

Dr, W. G. Alex- ander, of Newark, N, J., who was also to have been present was pre- vented from being present because of urgent calls in other directions. After a full discussion, it was decided to renew the football con- traet between the two schools for the next two years, it being under- stood that the coming (1924) game will be pliyed on Thanksgiving Day under the management of Howard University officials at Washington, or such place as may be designated hy Howard Univer sity, and the 1925 game under the keneral direction of Lincoln Uni: versity at such point 2s Lincolt may designate. 7 At this time very lively bidding has been submitted suggesting thal the game he played this fall a Washington, Atlantie City, Phila. delphia and New York. ‘The outstanding feature of thé agreement with respect to game in the future is that “the institu tion managing the game shall bea full responsibility through its res ular administrative officers of th business incident thereto, including adequate and comprehensive polic protection, and full and efficien' corps of cashiers, ticket sellers an takers, and other necessary help ers, and also for the financial shar of the visiting institution.” ‘This is taken to mean that there will bi no crowding at the gales as las year in Philadelphia, when severa’ thousand were outside when th game started. ‘The same hasis of understanding 60 per cent to the home team anc 40 per cent to the guest team was again adapted.

Prior to the present big success, he and his partner, with Sissle ahd Blake were the authors and prin- vals of “Shuffle Along,” the Jolin Cort production that has heen the biggest influence of a decade ‘on‘musical comedy. From there, Mr. Miller’s history goes back to the days of the Pekin theatre, Chi- engo, the very fitst Negro play- house of the country. — Thérefore his views are weighted with the authority of experience. ‘Miller says that “Shuffle Along” hail “Mike Manton ahead of it, as agent, and that he is one of those are people who can nieet and-han- dle any and every type of people; [and who is thoroughly informed on newspapers, the population centers ‘nd other essential information pertaining to the business of an altraction with a mixed duterest, Both of the Broadway successes thal Mr, Miller’has fostered have had on their staf Edward John- son, professionally known as “Black Carl” a colored man of quiet dignity, a geographical ex- perience that is international and 1 complete knowledge of the busi- ness end of the show world.

His value as a liason officer he- tween performers and business of- fice cannot he overestimated, his ability to interpret the views of one té the other has saved much confusion and embarrassment. In addition to this; when the show is phiying long runs, and there is aceasion to so do, Mr. Johnson has donned his evening clothes and worked on the front of the house with the entire satisfaction to the management, and entire freedom from offense to any patrons. In closing, Mr. Miller said that much of the reputed troubles and many of the losses that have been attributed to colored shows would not have oceured had, there been a RAILWAY SCHEDULES NORFOLK & WESTERN RAILWAY.

July 19—"The thing that impressed me most in Africa was the tremendous variety of nations,” said Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va. president of the Teanes and Slater Boards, in his recent address. be- fore a mass meeting of ministers, jvachers, and farmers, held in Ox: den Hall, Hampton Lnstitate. “The nations differed among themselves more than the nations of Europe—in habits, customs, !an- eenauge, and religion. 1 was Jonges in Kenya, an English colony five times as large as the State of Vir ginia, There were at least a dozer nations and languages in Kenya not to speak of the differences in the people. The national differen ves are very striking. ‘Another striking thing is th improvement in the condition of th Jwomen, ‘The men used to do th ‘fighting and the women do th jwork, OF thelr own accord thi jhe stopped. This is a great stey forward. There are government lworkers going about showing peo Iple how to raise things better.

Gregg of Hamp- ton Institute as “a friend of all men everywhere.” Doctor Dillard said in part: “Farmers have to work hard; teachers have to work hard; but the hardest worker of all, if he does his job right, is the preacher, Jesus Christ never did talk about groups of people. The right thing is to think about hu- man beings. Think about that in- dividual mother, that individual father, that individual child. Get out of the habit of talking about groups, of putting people into a mass, Talk of individual men and women. “No calling is any higher than another calling in a way. The difference is not the difference in callings or work, The difference lies in the handling that you put into the work, I cannot conceive of a farmer doing nothing but plough his fields and care for his crops. I cannot coneeive of a teacher tenching the children and nothing else, It is the spirit, the attitude, that we have; and, if your work is really preparing for the xreat positions of life, we have to look out for the way in which we do that work, “We must think about our reli- tion to others that will be affected hy our work and by our attitude. We must not think about ourselves. The fess you think about yourself in your work the surer ‘that work is to be the right kind of work. Think about what you are to do with reference to the work itself.

ASKS SQUARE DEAL OF LABOR UNIONS Philadelphia Conference Writes American Federation of Labor Requesting Changed Attitude. Philadelphia, Pa., July 2.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Fifteenth Annual Conference, has unanimously adopted a letter to the American Federation of Labor asking that labor unions cease discriminating against Negro workers. The text of the letter is as follows: For many years the American Negro has been demanding admittance to the ranks of union labor. For many years your organizations have made public profession of your interest in Negro labor, of your desire to have it unionized, and of your hatred of the black "seab." Notwithstanding this apparent surface agreement, Negro labor in the main is outside the ranks of organized labor, and the reason is first, that white union labor does not want black labor and secondly, black labor has ceased to beg admittance to union ranks because of its increasing value and efficiency outside the unions. We thus face the crisis in interracial labor conditions; the continued and determined race prejudice of white labor, together with the limitation of immigration, is giving black labor tremendous advantage. The Negro is entering the ranks of semi-skilled and skilled labor and he is entering there mainly and necessarily as a "seab". He broke the great steel strike. He will soon be in position to break any strike when he can gain economic advantage for himself. On the other hand, intelligent Negroes know full well that a blow at organized labor is a blow at all labor; that black labor today profits by the blood and sweat of labor leaders in the past who have fought oppression and monoply by organization. If there is built up in America a great black block of non-union laborers who have a right to hate unions, all laborers, ST.

Is it not time, then, that black and white labor get together. Is it not time for white unions to stop bluffing and for black laborers to stop cutting off their noses to spite their faces. We, therefore, propose that there be formed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the American Federation of Labor, the Railway Brotherhoods and any other bodies agreed upon, an Interracial Labor Commission. We propose that this Commission undertake: 1. To find out the exact attitude and practice of national labor bodies and local unions toward Negroes and of Negro labor toward unions. 2. To organize systematic propaganda against racial discrimination on the basis of these facts at the great labor meetings, in local assemblies and in local unions. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stands ready to take part in such a movement and hereby invites the co-operation of all organized labor. The Association hereby solemnly warns American laborers that unless some such step as this is taken soon the position gained by organized labor in this country is threatened with irreparable loss.

This was the first time in the history of that orgainzation that the conference at large, consisting of nearly 6,000 persons—3,500 del- exgates present—has voted a colored person into this office. As evidence of the fact that Mr. Jones was a popular choice, the audience ap- plauded vigorously when the an- nouncement was made by the Pres- ident at the general session on Tuesday night. ‘There were thir teen candidates for the five posi- tions on the Executive Board that were open—Mr. Jones standing in Detroit are Negroes.

Wooils, former presidents of the National Conference of Social Work. At this conference there were forty colored delegates. There were nineteen places on the program at which the Negro was diseussed in some form and fourteen of the speakers were colored. This recognition of the problems among Negroes and the part which “egro social workers are playing in efforts to improve the community life of the nation is considered most significant by students of in- Hterracial problems, it being con: sidered that this conference group made up of the leading and mos active social workers of the United I States and Canada is the most lib- [eral and democratic of the organ ' izations interested in human better- |ynent.

BAPTIST CHURCH On the fourth of July the Pine St. Baptist congregation held its ground breaking exercises on their new lot on the corner of E. Washington and Mulberry Sts. A tent has been placed on the site, and at 2:00 p.m. Rev. Madison, pastor of Second Calvary Baptist Church, of Norfolk, preached a powerful sermon to the large number present. His choir under the direction of Madam Jackson furnished excellent music for the occasion. A large collection was received, after which the pastor led his congregation to a spot where each in turn took the spade in hand and started the work of breaking the ground. Most of the pastors of the sister churches were present and took part in the exercises. Sunday morning 11:00 a. m., the pastor preached an excellent sermon from the text, Luke 9-10. "The Son of Man is come to seek and save that which is lost." At 3:00 p.m. m. the United Order of Good Samaritans of Shoulders Hill, had their annual sermon preached to them at this church by the pastor.

S.): John Hart, Negro mine foreman, of Hickory Ridge, is in a dying condition in the State Hospital at Shamokin with bullet wounds of the right arm, back of groin, while his alleged assailant, Chas McNorth is a fugitive in the mountains. McNorth had been ill with pneumonia for eight weeks, and a week ago asked Hart, who was his foreman, for his job at the sinking mine slope again. He was not put to work and last Wednesday night he walked into the Robert Smith boarding house, obtained a gun and in going out, shot Hart without warning. Before an effort could be made to capture him, he disappeared into the mountains. COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES By The CAMERAMAN (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) 1. "Puffed" Publicity Of late, certain members of the white press seem to be afflicted with a journalistic T epidemic which smacks of a policy of publicity and a style of narration which would make the creator of Nick Carter look to his laurels, were he alive today. (By the way, he committed suicide sometime ago.) Two recent outbursts of this "puffed" publicity occurred when the white press devoted columns and columns to newspaper minstrelsy in their descriptions of "Jim Democrat," a Negro mascot of the democratic convention, and another Negro character, whom the white press described as the "Dog Man" of Washington, D. C. More sixotant type and printers' ink were used in a ludicrous attempt to furnish news of these two Negro characters than were used to tell the story of how Johnson and Roberts had beaten up a dozen or more German soldiers. Details, deflections, and grammatical polish were used and re-used by the white press in picturing the lives of "Jim Democrat" and the "Dog Man," and if these two individuals happen to feel proud of their advent on the front page of a big daily (and we doubt it) then we suppose we should worry. Somehow or other, though, we feel that they, like us, would be more proud to see some front page "stuff" relative to some sure-enough achievements of the "brethren" which deal with more substantial accomplishments than caring for dogs and "mascoting" for conventions. Newspaper minstrelsy is on the wane, and high-powered publicity is the kind that "goes over" nowadays. And if stories of Negroes are desired by the white press, we'd be glad to donate some data on science, literature, art, music, and a dozen other subjects, as to which Negro men and women have made a name for themselves. New Jersey Justice Of Peace Under Fire Lawnside, N. J., July 10.—(P. N. S.): Activities of John C. Farmer. Justice of the Peace here, are being investigated by Assistant Prosecutor Verbalow and Motor Vehicle Officer Robie. It is said many complaints against Farmer have been filed by motorists with Motor Vehicle Commissioner Dill at Trenton. Inspector Robie placed the matter before Prosecutor Verbalow with the result that Squire Farmer was ordered to produce his court record. Squire Farmer is a Negro. Jackson, Miss., July 5.—(A. N. P.) Four thousand Negro teachers of the state, through their representatives, at the State Teachers Association Convention here, are pledged to wipe out adult illiteracy in the state. Each teacher in the state is to agree to teach one or more illiterate adult for one year without compensation. The state association will stand behind the sectional and county teachers' groups to see that the pledge is carried into effect. Another important move made is the establishment of an $8,000 fund for the publication of a monthly magazine, devoted to the interests of the teachers. Officials of the association declare that the public spirit of the Colored teachers has been met by 90 per cent of the white educational authorities of the state, there having been a slight raise in salary made for each teacher.

RICHMOND, VA NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Organized action by all teachers in the United States to obtain recognition for education in the Government, was urged by Miss Olive M. Jones, white, President of the National Educational Association at its general conference in Washington, last week. "Democracy is unsafe in America," said Miss Jones, on account of lack of education, and the Sterling-Reed bill for a Federal Department of Education is one of the most important needs confronting education today." When Bulletin 1916, No. 28, "A Study of the Private and Higher Schools for Colored People in the United States," conducted under the direction of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, white, was published by the Bureau of Education of the U.S. Government, despite criticisms which not a few Negro educators heaped upon the head of Dr. Jones for his alleged "biased view," sufficient facts concerning Negro schools and education were gathered to form a basis for constructive educational work throughout our life time. Yet, virtually every other phase of Negro advancement has been priority over the education of our youth; and the greatest pressure for a Federal Department of Education, which could be approached far more directly in behalf of Negro education than can the present state and interlocking authorities, has been made by the whites and not by us. When hearings were had up on the proposed legislation, the brothers and sisters were conspicuous by their absence; but far-seeing opponents, who could easily visualize the benefits which would accrue to our offspring through substantial federal supervision were right on the job with a veiled protest. And now we have a chance to get behind Miss Jones' statement and push the N. E. A. on to carrying out her strong suggestions. Let's not miss it. Autoist Shoots Down Miss Anna Mellon Pittsburgh, Pa., July 9—(P. N. S.) Miss Anna Mellon, aged 24 years, 2804 Bedford avenue, was shot twice by a man who fired from an automobile last Monday night in Enoch street, near Devilers. Miss Mellon was taken to the Passavant hospital where it was reported her condition is serious. She was shot in the left side and left hand. Police are looking for the gunman, who fled in the machine after the shooting. Miss Mellon told the police she recognized the man who fired at her as a former admirer. According to the story told the police by the woman it is believed that jealousy prompted the shooting. Uncle Si's Sermon THE UNSATISFIED SONNY (Copyright 1924 by the Famous Writers Guild.) Hit was de time of de pecan harvest honey. All de spryest young men was up in de pecan trees. Dew was a-thrashing de nuts off wif long fishing poles, a-shaking de littest limbs, and a-stomping on de biggest branches twelf de pecans was rattling down like a turrible hail-storm. All de rest of the people was out in de grove picking up pecans off de ground. Some was a-stooping over, some was a-squatting down, and some was crawling around; but duy was all filling dree cans wid pecans; emptying dree cans into buckets, and toting de buckets into de house to spread on de lee to dry. De Angel looked down on dat busy crowd and loved to de Lord. "Dat bunch of people sholy does preciate what-all you're done isn't 'em outen yo' bounty, Lord. Every last one on'em is working for all he's worth to get in dat crap of pecans." De Lord shook His head sorrowful like and said: "Child, hain't you seed dat little bey yonder by de shed?" De Angel cast her eye about and she enough dar in a corner by de shed she spied a little bey dat wasn't doing nary thing to help pick up de pecans. "How come he isn't working like de rest, Lord," asked de angel. "Hes onsatisfied," said de Lord. "But Lord," declams de angel, "dat ground is plumb kivered with pecans. How can he be onsatisfied." "Dat's what I want you to go down and find out," says de Lord. Bight away 'immedit, de angel flew down to whar dat little onsatisfied sonny was a-setting by de shed. "Is de ends of yo' fingers sore from picking up pecans, sonny? says she. "No'm," says de boy, "de ends of my, fingers ain't sore none." "Is yo' back most broke from bending over to pick up pecans?" axed de angel. "No'm?" says de boy, "my back ain't most broke." "Well," demands de angel, "if yo' fingers aint sore, and yo back most nist broke, how comes you ain't out dar in de grove picking up pecans?" De boy sniffs and draps his can like he was plumb disgusted. "What's dat you say??" cries de angel, "De pecans ain't worth picking up? How comes dey ain't worth picking up." "Dey's too little," says de boy, "over at Sam's place dey's got pecans so big I can't hold but two in my hands at once and dey sells for a dollar a pound. Dese pecans we've got won't bring to twenty-five cents a pound. Dey ain't worth picking up." When de Angel had heard dau saying of de onsatisfied sonny she was filled with wrath. Hit 'peared' so pumph outrageous dau a little yeller pup like him should dare to turn up his nose at sompin de great Lord God had sont him dat she just busted out: "How much you reckon you're worth, sonny?" "I don't know'm", says de boy. "Well, I knows saye de angel, "You ain't worth shucks. Dat's what-all ails you. Hit ain't de peasat dain't worth picking up. Hit's you dain't ain't worth picking up. You's so worthness you ain't even fitted to be spurred from de foot of the throne." "How you know Ise worthless, aced de boy." "I allus knows a worthless pusson soon's I see's him," says de Angel, "Ise got a sho sign. When- some-ever I sees a pusson going round turning up his nose—"Dis- here ain't good enough for me, Dat- eere ain't good enough for me—I lows to myself, "Dat pusson's worthless." Poro System Mme.

CHICAGO TOURNEY OPENED JULY 29TH CHICAGO TOURNEY OPENED JULY 29TH Chicago, Ill., July 2—The local tennis lid was thrown open here on June 29th when the annual club tournament of the Prairie Tennis Club began at 32nd and Vernon Avenue. This tournament is one of the most hotly contested in several years as several stars under surveillance are said to be in the best form and playing the best games of their careers. The Sports Editor of the Chicago Whip discusses the player and the chances in the following manner: Take the case of Richard Hudlin of St. Louis, always a great player, with a 40 per cent improvement over his last season's form and that is just what they say of him, is sure to cause trouble. And then Dr. O. B. Williams, one of the smartest and craftiest players in tennis, is said to have corrected his only fault, that of not taking time to train and condition himself. We learn that Dr. Williams is training daily in anticipation of giving his real worth to the game.

RIVERS IN FORM Another player who is consistently good is Ike Rivers, the trial horse of the club. It has correctly been said that if you can play your way past Ike Rivers you can win almost any old tournament and it has just about proved true. Another player who will give rattling like snake trouble to whoever he meets is Owen Turner. Turner is a great player and like Rivers is always in there fighting tooth and nail to win. And then we learn there are a number of dark horses in the tournament this year. We would not be surprised to see young Russell Smith, of Lane High School fame, come thru with flying colors. Some say he may not do so well, but this statement is based on his showing in the finals of the school play. MISS CHANNEL IS ALNE In the ladies' play we are unable to see anyone but Miss Channell. This sterling champ is playing in real masculine form this season, as was evidenced in the manner in which she took the proceedings at Wellerforce. Of course there will be Mother Scams and Miss Radeliffe. Miss Radeliffe is pretty sure to get into the finals with the champ, but hardly possesses the class to win out. Mother Scams will run a close third, as usual, but her speed is not such as to give her a place beyond these first two. But, anyway, it is going to be a tough series of matches and you cannot afford to miss it.

The National Democratic Convention machinery was stalled with an admixture of McAdoo oil and Smith alcohol. William Jennings Bryan, the old man on the back of the Democratic party, and the arch marplot in American politics, has reached the end of his rope. When he attempted to address the National Democratic Convention, in New York, in favor of shielding the Ku Klux Klan from being named by the Convention in its platform, the rabble in the gallery hooted and jeered him so that he was heard with difficulty and made a miserable failure of his job. He has grown old as a political stormy petrel and presdigitateur and his end is at hand. 'Tis well. There was a violent outburst of wrath in Japan, July 1, against the American exclusion law, which went into effect on that day. Americans in Japan are receiving a very, warm reception, too warm for comfort, and with all the possibilities present of some overt act of violence which may call for international trouble. The Japanese feel that the dignity of their Nation has been outraged in the discrimination, while a large section of the American people and press do not appear to think the Japanese have any dignity to outrage. Too bad, so bad a situation has been brought about to plague the two Nations. The National Democratic Convention divided half and half on the race and creed plank, and refused to single out by name the Ku Klux Klan, which remains the veiled object of the plank. On this decision the New York Herald-Tribune, which ought to be the leading newspaper in the Nation, but is not, says: "The Ku Klux Klan is not a national organization. It is largely a mushroom section outgrowth. It does not threaten our national life and cannot be treated seriously as a national peril. The Convention wisely decided not to treat it as such." Shade of Horace Greely, how did your mantle fall upon such a Republican editor, shuffler and liar? And the Republican party is dominated by the Klan in Indiana and has a commanding influence in the party in Ohio and Illinois. Where are we at anyhow?

Five fatalities by the way of mob violence is the record so far for this year against a record of 36 for the first six months of 1921. Five lynchings in six months are still five too many in a country where the courts are adequate to take care of all violations or alleged violations of the law, but the precipitate decline in this form of lawlessness in three years is certainly reassuring and indicates that public sentiment against mob action is steadily undergoing a healthy growth. The fact is, summary punishment for accused or suspected criminals without recourse to law is becoming so unpopular that only few people who hope to retain a scintilla of respectability in their communities will associate themselves with the henious practice. This is as it should be, and even though a single lynching for a period of twelve months would still be deplorable, the record for 1924 is bright enough to give rise to the hopes and expectations of witnessing a complete elimination of this barbaric stigma upon an enlightened civilization in the near future. The meagre treatment the public press has given lynchings in late years, migration of thousands of Negroes from the South the efforts of inter-racial commissions and agitation resulting from efforts to have enacted a federal lynch-law are agencies that have worked effectively to bring about the lowest mob record for nearly a half century. But whatever the cause, the effect is most welcomed. The disgraceful blotch of lynching upon the escutcheon of the American nation has been narrowed down to unprecedented proportions. The aim should now be to wipe it out entirely. Editorial Page of Public Park Privileges and Police Restrictions All the readers of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE are interested in the question of public park privileges and police restrictions, one of the hydra forms of segregation in public benefits we are just now fighting in all sections of the country, and which we must continue to fight as long as they obtain and press hard upon us. Ours is not the only race group that has to fight discrimination and oppression; we find the trail of the serpent in all directions and mingling poisonously in much of the opinion and interests of the country, and all those affected are fighting for what they conceive their legal rights, and we must expect to do so also. Others are not going to do it for us. They have troubles of their own. Public parks everywhere are purchased and maintained by all of the tax-payers of a given community, the presumption being that they have equal right to share in their benefits. There should be no contention about this, but there is plenty and to spare, and is fruitful of much injustice and brutality. In all of the Southern States, with few exceptions, the public parks are supposed to be at the pleasure of white.tax-payers only; that is the theory but not the justice of it, however local laws may appear to make it so. Our observation is that no law can make injustice legal, tolerable and acceptable. A protest always lodges against it, and a protest once lodged remains just as long as the injustice against which it is lodged remains. Our group in Louisville have been stirred as never before by the arrest and brutal handling and incarceration of two of our public school teachers, who were giving their children an outing in one of the public parks, there being no regulation against their so doing. At the end of their outing and while they were awaiting the trolley cars, two policemen ordered the children away from the swings. The teachers protested and were arrested and roughly handled and locked up leaving the little children to find their way the best they could. Such outrages should be impossible, but are all too common; they are not always met with the determined action, however, of the aggrieved which the responsible men of the race in Louisville have taken. They have acquitted themselves as men, as good Americans, who know their rights and are not afraid to defend them. We have got to learn to do in like manner everywhere. That two policemen, without warrant of law, in any city of this country, should arrest two public school teachers and abuse and bruise them and lock them up, after having them ride in a police patrol wagon through the public streets, in a public park, leaving the children without protection or guide, passes belief. And to aggravate the outrage, if possible, the government of Louisville is in the hands of the Republican party, which secured control by and with the assistance of the 30,000 Afro-American voters of the municipality. Few incidents, if any, since the industrial and economic collapse during the immediate post-war period, have been more indicative of a renewed determination and ambition among the race group to make a steady and substantial drive for greater economic accomplishments and commercial expansion than the organizing of a million dollar finance corporation at Durham a few weeks ago with practically every section of the country represented on its directorate. In the announcement of the plans and purposes of this corporation and its proposed scope of operations, it is seen that a number of successful men have disregarded sectional boundaries and have launched an effort to pool the finances of the race wherever they are available for the advancement of our group aspirations. This is encouraging, all will admit, but even more encouraging is the confidence the masses have shown in the National Negro Finance Corporation by a stream of inquiries for further information and requests for stock allotments, according to a recent announcement from headquarters of the concern. That leadership capable of commanding the confidence of the people is all that is necessary to mobilize the financial resources of the race in a gigantic movement for worthy promotion is clearly seen in the responsive chord this new project has struck. Since Negro banks have established a respectable position on the money mart, they have advanced the economic aspirations of our people immeasurably. What wonderful possibilities for race advancement abide in finance concerns under the guidance of such staunch and successful business men as the National Negro Finance Corporation has at its helm may be conjectured with a deal of confidence and inspiration. It enters upon a field ripe for a most distinct service; a fact clearly evidenced by the extensive interest being manifested in the project by those who are willing to ally themselves with it financially, all of which is most encouraging. Democratic Convention Hears Strange Noises The National Democratic Convention, during its sessions in New York, which were long drawn out and full of dramatic incidents, heard some strange noises, noises not at all pleasant to average Democratic cars. REVIEW And COMMENT BY WILLIAM BRITTON During his keynote address, Senator Byron Patton Harrison, of Mississippi, who was selected because he is master of concealing thought in a flow of words, that being one of the first qualifications of the real Keynoter, in the course of his address was interrupted by a flood of applause, during which he sat down for a moment and mopped his brow and received congratulations. Miss Anna Case, a celebrated song bird, who had done her bit, took Senators Harrison's place and lifted up her voice in song. Of course the perspiring convention turned to her, ceasing from applauding and screaming. As the song proceeded and filled the great hall, a hush came over it that was dense and tense. She was singing "John Brown's Body Lies Mouldering in the Clay, But his Soul goes Marching on." She sang it in great shape, but the convention was stunned and scandalized. Why not? It was strange noise to Democratic ears in a Democratic Convention. The applause is still coming to her, and we think it will be a long time in reaching her. But, page Anna Case. Then, again, when confusion reigned because Mr. Irwin of Georgia, had made a mas- tertful appeal against the Ku Klux Klan and called on his delegation to stand for the minority report against it, the band struck up "Marching Through Georgia, from Atlanta to the Sea," and the hubdub gradually subsided and the delegates gasped and caught their breath in amazement and other things. The greatest indignation prevailed among the Georgians, after it was all over, that the band should have been so thoughtless as to spring any such odious, to them, number, and they are still grumbling about it. But, page the bandmaster who quieted the Georgians and the convention with the ghost of Sherman and his host marching among them. And who ever expected to live to see half of the membership of a National Democratic Convention condemn the Ku Klux Klan by name? But that is what the convention did. Yes; there were some strange noises heard in the National Democratic Convention. Spirit of the Press Hypocrites Uncovered Buck Dispatch. over the Negro, who says he is where uncovered it is now.

From The Star of Zion. The plank of the Republican Convention is notably silent upon the Negro question and the Ku Klux Klan although the party had been importuned by many politicians and statesmen to express itself on the social and racial questions. It is to be regretted that the Republican party has lost its courage on moral issues. It is also to be regretted that it fears to express itself in opposition to a secret organization, whose open and avowed purpose is to influence government, for fear of its political strength and hostility. Something may yet be said in the course of the campaign to give assurance to the lovers of law and order and to bring discomfort to religious bigots and fomenters of racial strife. From the bulletin Appeal. This action of the two conventions should be food for thought for every Negro voter in the land. If the Democratic party wages open war against the Ku Klux Klan it is difficult to see why the Negro should not join the ranks of Democracy against the common foe. If the Republican party dares not openly challenge the Klan, then it must be that the Klan exercises powerful influence in the party councils. To the Negro the Klan is anathema. It stands for every kind of intimidation, repression, violence and restriction of his opportunity to better his condition. The Klan is our enemy wherever it may be and it is our duty to give battle to the end that this insidious monster shall be crushed. If Democracy offers that chance, we would be truly blind if we did not close ranks and help to meet and vanquish these hooded knights of outlawry and murder. Dickerson for Congress Lisbonville Ledger. Democrats of the First Illin e thinking of running Earl B. ce man, for Congress. nothing happens in America. s, and the Leader hopes it it will be unusual, but there wrong about it. Years ago From Louisville Ledger. The Democrats of the First Illinois District are thinking of running Earl B. Dickerson, race man, for Congress. Everything happens in America. If this happens, and the Leader hopes it will, of course it will be unusual, but there will be nothing wrong about it. Years ago Negroes ought to have been mixing up in all the parties as common sense and race interest dictated, and Negroes should have been running for office on the various tickets. We have made the fatal mistake of throwing all of our political strength one way, and today to all appearances we are between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. REVIEW And COMMENT BY WILLIAM BRITTON End of Oligarchy Oligarchic government, more respectfully termed "conservative," in the great countries of the world seems to be falling on bad days. The radicals and laborites, more respectfully characterized "progressives" are gradually, but surely coming into their own in so far as concerns governments. A quarter of a century back a Labor Premier of Great Britain would have been an impossibility, but today the Empire has at the head of its government one Ramsey McDonald, none other than a Laborite. In France the people have recently elevated to the head of affairs a Radical and a man of the same type as McDonald. He is Edouard Herriot. Thus within a year both England and France have seen the affairs of government pass out of the hands of the reactionary or Conservative group into the hands of the Progressives or Radicals. In the United States there is more real dissatisfaction with the two major parties than is observed on the surface. A vigorous progressive party standing on principles opposed to plutocratic government such as has existed in this country for ages, would command the support of an enormous element of voters and might even be elevated to power. Of course, that thing is coming eventually. The voice of the masses is crying to be heard and the times point to an early reckoning. Sound Doctrine Sound Doctrine One of the most potent truths expounded by the N. A. A. C. P. in its message to the people broadcasted at the close of its recent annual session held in Philadelphia is clothed in these words, "We must especially keep in mind the fact that the emancipation of the Negro today is more largely a matter of the state law and local ordinance than of national enactment and that the interpretation of the law and the administration of the law by the officials are just as important and often far more important than its actual content." Every Negro, and particularly those in the South, should stick a pin in that statement. In many southern states where any citizen may qualify and vote, a shameful lethargy bear down on Negroes regarding their franchise. Between presidential elections, mayors, governors, and retinue of state and local officials are elected, and in the choice of these colored people evince not the slightest concern. During presidential years they eagerly watch developments in the national campaigns and show a deal of concern about who will be the next occupant of the White House, in spite of the fact they have never taken any interest in who may be the next occupant of the City Hall of their own communities. Negroes, at first, get in the political game in your home towns, wherever such is possible. Generally those who make the laws in Washington have been lawmakers or executors locally before reaching the Capitol. Make their acquaintances at home, and you will be better able to judge their fitness to represent you in Washington. More: An effective use of the ballot in your local community will so remedy many of the ills from which you suffer that larger benefits at the hands of the Federal administration will be a natural consequence. When the Southern white man becomes more accustomed to observing your intelligent political activities at home, he will be unable to go to Washington with ridiculous conceptions of your citizenship. Remember, it is more important to you as to whom will be the next Mayor or councilmen than who will be the next President of the United States. Saturday, July 12, 1924 Where Are We? If the Negro voter has not some "brains" of his own upon which he might rely to guard him rightly in the matter of casting his ballot next November, he will be "up a tree for fear." Advice and cross advice is pouring into his ears by those who have assumed themselves to be the political monitors of the race. The N. A. A. C. P. advises a split vote or a fight on the Klan wherever and in whichever party it is strongest. In spite of the Klan and the Indiana situation the Atlanta Independent advises Negroes to swallow the Republican party, hook, line and sinker. The N. A. A. C. P. thinks a third party might settle some of our political and civic ills. Editor Ben Davis ridicules the idea and believes that the race would make a monstrous mistake if it allied itself with any other than the G. O. P. Out of New York cones praise for the Democratic party by Negroes. Just where the brethren stand is enough to puzzle the sages. But there is nothing peculiar about it. Men are going to differ politically just as in all other ways, and in a few years the colored man will be no exception to the rule in politics. Cannibals Eat Six Lighthouse Keepers San Francisco, Cal., July 9.9(A. N. P.): When the steamship, President Garfield, arrived here behind time the commander of the vessel explained that he had been delayed because of the absence of lights in the lighthouse on the Island of Sokotra. Investigation showed that cannibals on the island, between Colombo and Suez in the Indian Ocean had eaten the keeper. Stories have it that the late keeper is the sixth one to have gone the route of a cannibal esophagus. TID BITS By LEONARD MASSENBURGE All travelers in Africa comment on the deliberation of the natives. One who brings you a message does not rush up and deliver it and bolt away. He first puts his weapons in a place of safety, then seats himself comfortably on the ground, and, after a long breathing spell, tells what he has to say. If you reach a village at noon today, no matter how important it may be to keep moving, the chief will feel very much disappointed if you do not spend the whole of the next day in camp in or near his village. The last horse car left the streets of New Yory in 1917. Alcohol insanity has not increased since prohibition, says a bulletin of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. Dolls cannot be traced farther back that the reign of Queen Anne in the early part of the eighteenth century. Writers are not agreed as to the origin of the sign $ to represent dollars. Some say it came from the letters U. S., which, after the adoption of the Federal Constitution, were prefixed to Federal currency, and which later, in the hurry of writing, were run into each other, the U being made first and the S over it. The more probable explanation is that it is a modification of the figure 8, and denotes a piece of eight reals, or, the dollar, which formerly was divided into eight parts. It was then designed by the figures 8-8. St. Benedict, the Moor, was one of the first colored men to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. He was born at San Fradella, Messina, Sicily, in 1526, of African parents, who had migrated from Ethiopia to Sicily. He was superior of the monastery of Santa Maria de Jesus a Palermo and ruled until his death in 1537. When a child dies in some parts of Greenland, the natives bury a live dog with it, the dog to be used by the child as a guide to the other world. When questioned in regard to this peculiar superstition, the natives will only answer, "A dog can find his way anywhere." Leo Africanus was born at Granada, Spain in 1090, and taught Arabic and Hebrew in Rome. He wrote "A Description of Africa" in Arabic which for many years was considered the best work on that subject. BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.) 134. Who was Al-Bekri? Al-Bekri, an eleventh century writer, whose description of the Western Sudan was of such importance as to gain him the title of Historian of Negro land, was an Arabian of Ethiopian extraction. It was Al-Bekri who gave to the world the most comprehensive description of Ghana, a town situated on the banks of the Niger, which was a meeting place for commercial caravans from all parts of the world. Ghana was also a seat of learning and its schools were the most noted of the ancient era. 135. When was the first Colored Y. M. C. A. organized? The first Colored Y. M. C. A. for colored men was organized in Washington, D. C., in 1853; but like others of its kind was not of long duration, and it was not until 1876 that the work for colored men and boys was seriously considered. Dr. Stewart Robinson, a Presbyterian minister of Louisville, Ky., presented the claims for colored men's' work so eloquently that Sir George Williams, founder of Y. M. C. A. work contributed $100. to the appeal for funds. Later Dr. Henry Brown of Oberlin, was appointed Secretary of the International Committee to or- Since part of the world has gone plumb dippy and civilization has nearly made a complete change, why don't the rest of it fall in line and make the whole thing one or the other. garize associations for colored men. 136. What compromise grew out of the slavery question raised when California was admitted to statehood? In opposition to the demands of the Pro-slavery radicals, the anti-slavery radicals insisted upon (1) that the Wilmot Proviso apply to all present and future territories; (2) abolition of slavery in the district of Columbia; (3) the prohibition of all interstate traffic in slaves; Henry Clay induced the two factions to compromise, and five measures were adopted (1) establishing territorial governments of Utah and New Mexico with no reference to slavery, (2) admitting California as a free state, and (3) compensating Texas for New Mexico claim. The compromise was opposed by President Tyler, but upon his death, Milard Fillmore the succeeding president gave his signature to them all. NEXT WEEKS WHATNOTS 137. Who was Iben Khaden? 138.

I believe in Negroes because I believe in myself. Other Negroes are like me. They have all the virtues, all the faults that I have.

Negroes are gods in embryo spite of savage instincts veneried in civilization's culture. Negroes are today what the rolling centuries of yesterday have made them. Negroes are what they are because of every condition behind them and around them. Negroes do what they must. Some Negroes have reached the stage whereon they sometimes do what they will. I believe in Negroes because some day all Negroes will do what they will and they will Will to do right. I am a Negro. Robert Crawley, Richmond, Va. Honesty Frees Policy Writer Memphis, Tenn., July 9.—(A. M. P.): When James Jordan was handed into court, charged with writing policy, he explained to the court that he was walking along Beak street, bothering no one, when an officer of the law approached him and grabbed his arm. He was so taken with surprise, he claimed that he reached for his hat, beneath which was hidden the slips. The inadvertence caused him to be rested. The court was so much interested by the truth of his story that the charge against him was dismissed. Put Off Grand Jury Probe Of Shooting Birmingham, Ala., July 9-14 N. P.) The grand jury investigation into the shooting of the colored women, Mrs. Bessie Tate and Mrs. Annie Lee Pitts, by Traffic Officer A. E. Phillips, has been put off until September, due to the serious condition of the victims. Phillips shot the women, it is alleged, while they were ironing their porch, angered because one of them had moved from a house which he owned. Police Arrest Miracle Map Meridian, Miss., July 9. (A.
