Association Enjoys Business Increase The financial statement of the Norfolk Home Building and Loan Association as is made public in an advertisement appearing in this paper reflects a substantial increase in business volume enjoyed by that concern in the first six months of this year, and may be taken as indicating increasing thrift among the colored people of Norfolk and vicinity. The Norfolk Home Building Association has not only enjoyed a more than $12,000 increase in assets in the past six months, but has paid out $14,500 in matured stock in the same period. Here is where a remarkable public service has been rendered by the association, when it is realized that this $14,000 has gone towards starting some families on the road to financial independence. No doubt this money has made some renters home owners and has circulated for many things pertaining to home building, thus benefitting the community in divers ways. The association's books are now open for taking stock which will mature in 6 years and a few weeks, which it is claimed, is the shortest period for stock maturity offered by any building and loan association in the city. CROWD AT FUNERAL OF MRS. WALLACE Prominent Ministers Take Part in Services; Dr. Allen Delivers Impressive Eulogy. All that was mortal of Mrs. Eliza Wallace, wife of the late Rev. P. J. Wallace, for seventeen years pastor of First Calvary Baptist church, was laid to rest on Friday the 17th. Mrs. Wallace had been in defining health for several years, but was seriously ill only a few days prior to her death. She was taken to Dixie Hospital, Hampton Wednesday preceding her death. On Monday, July 14, at five o'clock she passed away quietly and without any outward signs of suffering, but with a fortitude and faith that was one of her marked characteristics during her life. Long before the services began the church was filled with her many friends and co-workers, upon whose countenance was displayed their evident sorrow, felt in the death of this churchwoman, characterized as one of the city's most zealous workers in church activities. Surrounded by a multitude of coral designs lay a simple but beautiful gray casket in which reclined the last mortal remains of this great church worker whose last words were, "I am through." Rev. O. J. Allen, pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church, officiated and preached the sermon. At 12:25 the soft notes of an organ prefilled the church, and the family and intimate friends filed in, almost overcome with grief. Dr. King, of Richmond opened the services with hymn C39. Dr. W. T. Johnson read the first scripture lesson, and Rev. Patterson of Hampton, the second. Rev. Brown of Bethlehem Baptist Church led the prayer to which the congregation added many a passionate "amen." In his prayer Rev. Brown thanked God for Mrs. Wallace's influence and advice, and said, "We go, not in tears, but in rejoicing that a great woman has lived a great life, and now goes to her reward." Rev. Dr. Stokes of Richmond, led the congregation in singing a hymn. Resolutions were read from the official board of the church by Mr. Williams, its secretary; by Mrs. W. T. Johnson, a co-worker with Mrs. Wallace, in behalf of Women's Baptist Missionary and Educational Association; by Mrs. Dr. Payne; Mrs. A. S. Hoard; Mrs. I. B. Ward for the Women's Missionary and Educational Union of Tidewater; Mrs. M. O. Brown; Mrs. A. L. Somerville, and others. In all she was highly cologized. It was brought out the tshé always did her best, was a member of many organizations, and stood nobly by her husband in his work teaching boys and girls: In practically all of the resolutions it was the expressed opinion that her place could not be filled. She was characterized as a "servant of God, and a most noble woman." Prof. J. R. Custis read several letters and telegrams of condolence, all praising her wonderful work. Other persons to participate in the services were Rev. F. B. Mitchell, a life long friend of the family; Mr. Jerry Anderson; Rev. O. C. Jones; Rev. King of Richmond; a soloist of the choir, whose singing by its paths and feeling brought half of the congregation to tears; Rev. Graham of Phebus, and Rev. J. H. Burks of Columbus, Ohio. Rev. Allen preached the sermon and reviewed the events leading up to her death, her character as already described, and the other qualities that were hers, and which endured her to her congregation, friends, and co-workers. Mrs. Wallace is survived by one sister and three nephews of Richmond, her native home. Interment in the family plot in Calvary Cemetery. COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES By The CAMERAMAN (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) 1. Midsummer Nights Dream 2. Blood First—Education Last 3. More Training—Better Training 4. Here Comes The Band Not to be outdone but the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which; at its recent Philadelphia Conference, endorsed the "Third Party", although it had neither chosen its vice-presidential candidate nor announced its doctrines, in full, comes now Edward W. Henry, of the Citizens' Republican Club of Philadelphia, and declares himself this year for the Democratic Party. And the Quaker City of rocked-ribbed Republican history rubs its sleepy eyes in astonishment, while the Philadelphia white press gives off an exhaust of the following content: "We believe these signs of Negro awakening are wholesome, not alone because they may redound to the benefit of the Democratic party in the campaign, but because independence of political thought among whites and Negroes alike is essential to good government. City, State and Nation would all be better ruled if those who are elected to office always exercise their duties with a settled conviction that incompetence or malfeasance would result --- in political life as they do in private life, in ignominious dismissal" The flavor of condonation of the white daily, when closely analyzed, does not bespeak all the comfort it purports to give to midsummer nights' dreamers, who have swapped political "Hosses." As we see it, the bed of thorns upon which party "bolters" claim to have lain, has been made painful by ultraracial discard as it has by seeing neglect of the party itself. Gum-shoeing activities and mistrust have fostered some "brick-bat" campaigns among the brethren which have eventually caused an internal political disintegration among them, which is rapidly wrecking their racial and political aims upon the "We're not together" reefs. To presume that by swearing allegiance to the Democratic party the day will be saved is like shadow-boxing. The editorial writer of the Philadelphia daily might well have added to his illuminating remarks on incompetence and malfaissance the verile words "Non-feasance" and "Misfeasance". Then he might have stood upon the Pennsylvania phateans and gazed southward into the bosom of the Democratic party and upon the dictator of its precepts and principals. Then he could have enlarged his editorial and the "dreamers" gazing upon the tombstones of Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Summer and Abraham Lincoln might have turned their faces to the sod and slept an endless political sleep beneath the buried paths where sleepy twilight dreams the summer time away. Those particles of the blood corpuscles of the children of Thomas W. Perrie (White??) of Baden, Maryland, which impart a darksome hue, invisible and, perhaps, imaginary, asserted themselves long enough to induce the County Board of Education to bar Mr. Perrie's children from the Baden Agricultural High School, on the ground that the kiddies are of Negro blood, and that despite their baby blue eyes and Nordic ways their blood content is saturated with a drop or two of purest African life fluid which, forever and RACE BOOKS Bishop I.

The two children, it is said, entered the school several months ago and later became the subjects of a protest which was filed with the Board of Education by some public-spirited (?) citizens who locked Education outside the back gate and hitched a blood test to the front door. The amiable principal, who was more interested in public sentiment than he was in public education promptly barred the blue-eyed babies from an opportunity of studying Shaplace's Nebular Hypothesis, and their case was carried to the august Board of Education, which has decided that "in view of the pronounced sentiment in the community, an order directing their admission would result in the closing of the school." Gracious, how inconvenient! And what matters it whether a kiddie is given an opportunity to acquire an education when the mental welfare of a white community is at stake? How terribly inconvenient!

But as yet Norfolk lags behind. That is of little importance, however. But of far more importance is the fact that Norfolk is-making material progress in at least one line of sport. Several private courts have been built, one club organized and already about to put on a club tournament. But we have one thing we would like to complain of. It it this. Comparatively, we have few Negro tennis stars—players who have really mastered the game in every essential detail. Why does this condition exist? It exists because there is no encouragement to young players. We must reconcile ourselves to the fact that our champions must be older than those of other races, men between 25 and 30 years of age, because boys at school, especially public schools, are not given proper facilities to participate in tennis. At the moment, for some unknown reasons, tennis is seldom a part of a Negro school's extra-curricula activities. For this reason little chance is allowed boys who prefer tennis to become proficient at the game until after they leave school. Therefore, as a champion has to be evolved through all the ups and downs from the raw material, and, however good he may be naturally, it will take that youth at least six years before he can hope to be the highest honors. attain the higher. But when a promising boy leaves school what is done for him by powers that he in the way of help and encouragement? Very little, we fear. He has to rely solely on his own genius. What happens is that these boys join some club and there they remain unknown, unless they are fortunate enough to have the leisure and the means to take part in public tournaments. There is one such club in Norfolk, and it is to this hitherto untapped source that we must look for our future challenges from Norfolk. champions all in the summer, the exact dates to be released later, will include in its events a junior tournament, providing enough boys who have not reached their eighteenth birthday signify that they will participate. Beautiful and appropriate prizes will be awarded to winners by this paper. Little good will be done with a too menger entry, but if sufficient number send in their entries the junior matches will be held. All boys who come under the age limit are asked to write the sports editor of the Journal and Guide and tell whether they intend entering. These facts may interest you. That they should interest you is even more natural since every Negro who competed for America either won a first place or a second or third. The Paris games were the eighth of the revived series which began at Athens in 1896, but the original games date back into the mists of antiquity, 776 B. C. being the date generally accepted as that of the first Olympiad. More about the history will be forthcoming later. Now for a few facts about the last America won 12 first places this year as compared with the 9 of four years ago; America furnished winners or scorers in 24 events as compared with 21 four years ago; of the nine world's and Olympic records set at the Colombes meet, Yankee athletes with four Negro members of the team, were responsible for five. She was responsible for two new Olympic records, two that just fell short of world's records. Paavo Nurmi set three new Olympic records and one or two world's records. More later. HOW MUCH IS A METER? HOW MUCH IS A METER? . Followers of the Olympic games, who are unfamiliar with the metric system of measurement used in the Colombes athletic events, may gain a clear idea of the distances if they visualize the meter as slightly more than a yard. The meter generally used in European countries, is computed as one ten-millionth of the distance around the earth, and is standardized at 39.77 inches. The following table give the approximate distance of some of the principal Olympic events: 100 meter dash.....109.4 yards 100 meter dash.....109.4 yards 200 meter dash.....218.7 yards 110 meter hurdles.....120.3 yards 800 meter run.....875.2 yards 5,000 meter run.....5,470 yards NEW BALL TEAM IS ORGANIZED IN CITY The Can't Talks is the unique name of Norfolk's latest baseball creation. It has been organized for the remainder of the season and intends taking on some of the best teams in this section. Jacob Cornick is the manager of this latest baseball squad and Booker Alston is secretary. His address is 208 Bolsholon St. this city. Bernie Robinson is scheduled to hold down the initial sack, while James Riddick covers the keystone bag. Sam Parker is the captain and pitcher, while Isaac Williams is the guardian of the hot corner and Wm. H. Smith holds down things in center field. Elmo "Daddy" Watson completes the inner defense at shortstop. Booker Washington is the hawker in left field and Ralph Osborne is another pitcher. Robert Perry will enter upon duties as catcher. With this roster of players the Can't Talks will emerge upon the field ready to do battle with any team that will write to the secretary of the club whose address is given above. JAMACIA TO COMPETE FOR THE DAVIS CUP London, Eng., July 16—The lawn tennis association of Jamaica, British West Indies, has filed a petition with the English Association for permission to compete for the Davis Cup Trophy as a separate nation. The plea of the island's tennis players has met with considerable favor from the home body of the English tennis world, and favorable action is expected. The Jamaica Tennis Association has beep an adjunct to the Empire's governing body and the players have been classified as British subjects. Under this ruling they compete as Englishmen and are eligible for any English team. In case the controlling body gives the island folks the privilege --- of competing separately, Jamaica will place a very strong team in the Davis Cup contests of next year. They will most likely send over a mixed team, that is a colored athlete will be a member of the invaders. B. M. Clark, the West Indian tennis king, recently competed at the Wimbledon tournament in England, the tennis classic of the world, and made a splendid showing. He is sure of a place on any aggregation of players representing Jamaica. Regardless of the request being granted by the home body, Jamaica will not be able to compete for the cup this year. The time for the challenge has long since expired, and the nations have already been zoned and paired. Springfield, Ohio, July 18—Preparation is being made for the fifth annual track and field meet to be held under the auspices of the Young Colored Men's Business association of this city. An invitation has been sent to DeHart Hubbard, world's champion broad jumper of Olympic fame, to appear as an added attraction. In the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes will be entered Cornelius Thompson and Floyd Lewis, joint holders of the 100-yard record of 10 2-5 seconds on the local track, and Harry (Wu Fang) Ward, all of Wilberforce, together with Elliott, Dayton high school star. In the high jump the competitors will be Curry, winner of the high school high jump with 5 feet 5 in.; Earl Ryder, former University of Illinois track star; James Willett of Wilberforce, holder of the Springfield record of 5 feet 6 in.; Frank Johnson and Curly Young. Ward and Mason will be the only contestants in the broad jump. Charles Sedwick, winner of the pole vault, college section of the industrial meet, will journey all the way from Clarksburg, W. Va., to compete in the pole vault. Sedwick's record is 10 feet. The 880-yard relay race, a new feature, will be entered by several relay teams, including Wilberforce and the one representing the Center St. Branch of the Y. M. C. A. of this city. In the girl's events Miss Vioia Wiegans, 13, of Fulton playground, who can jump 3 feet 9 inches, is slated as the winner of both events, Dean Mohr, director of athletics at Wilberforce University, is manager of the track and field meet.

S.)—The St. Louis Giants, owned by Charlie Mills, and with such stars in the lineup as Miles, McAdoo, Kennard, Bennett, Miller and Harris, invaded Forbes Field Friday evening for a game with the Homestead Grays. After the dust had settled over the historic field and the umpire had called the game, a glance at the score board showed that the teams had fought it out on even terms for ten innings, the game ending in a 5-5 deadlock. Rile was on the mound for the Grays while Hensley occupied Foggy knoll for the visitors. Both clubs played wonderful ball, and while the going was loose at times, many errors of omission and commission being pulled; heave hitting and sensational field kept the fans standing in their seats most of the time during the game. Up until the eighth inning, Hensley had allowed but four hits, but these four hits, coupled with numerous errors gave the Grays four runs. St. Louis, getting away to a slow start, failed to register a safe blow until the fourth inning and did not break into the run column until in the fifth when a triple and two singles scored two runs. The going was nip and tuck, from then on, in fact until the occasion of hostilities in the tent. The fielding of Miles and the hitting of Graham featured in the contest. GOURDIN COPS FIRST PLACE IN ENGLAND GOURDIN COPS FIRST PLACE IN ENGLAND (Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide) London, Eng., July 19—Edward Goudin, just from recent triumphs in the great Olympic games, was a bright star in America's victory in a post-Olympic meet with the pick of Great Britian's runners and field event athletes. He won the broad jump with a splendid leap of 23 feet, 9 1-2 inches. His nearest rival was one who witnessed his record breaking jump in the Oxford-Cambridge versus Yale-Harvard meet several years ago. Abrahams was also the runner who upset America's hope of returning victor in the 100 metres dash. The stay-at-home Britishers and the Americans who were unable to go to Paris to witness the Olympic games thus watched a miniature version of the games at Stamford Bridge when the pick of the United States and England teams, which competed in Paris, came together in a series of track and field events which resulted in American victories in eleven and British conquests in three. The result of the first event, the 400-yard relay, saw the Stars and Stripes hoisted when the Americans broke the world's record for the distance by 1 1-5 seconds. The broken record was largely NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE due to a sprint of Charles W. Paddock, of Los Angeles, in the third 100 yards and to a tremendous burst of speed by Alfred Leconey, of Philadelphia, who bent the British spinner, Harold Abrahams, to the tape after the latter had badly fumbled in taking the baton from the previous British runner. This gave the spectators an idea of something good to come and the Britishers roared with delight when the Union Jack was hoisted at the conclusion of the mile relay. Britain's success in this event was largely due to the efforts of the short-striding Scottish flyer, Eric Liddell, who steadily overlaid the Chicagogo, H. M. Fitch, and beat him by two yards. From then onward it was almost continuous hoisting of the Stars and Stripes. The four-mile relay was the most gruelling race of the afternoon. The United States won each mile by the narrowest margin, the last mile proving the fastest at 4 minutes 25 seconds, when Ray Baker, Illinois A. C., broke the tape three yards ahead of B. MacDonald. The Americans looked like easy winners until a half long from home, when H. N. Stallard, of Cambridge, who always appeared to have something in hand, overhauled S. C. Enck, Penn State, and registered Great Britain's second victory. The three-mile team race went to Great Britain, although V. H. Booth, John Hopkins, was the first home, and John Romig, Penn State, was fourth. The Britishers had men in second, third, fifth and sixth places and won on points. The mile medley relay was run in four distances. In the 440-yard section, Alan B. Hellrich, Peen State, defeated Diddell; in the 220-yard section, George L. Hill, University of Pennsylvania, defeated A. E. Porritt, New Zealand, Jackson V. Scholz, New York A. C. beat Muttier at 220 yards, while in the 880-yard section, Charles R. Brookins, Iowa defeated D. G. A. Lowe, Cambridge, with a tremendous burst of speed, when the Englishman was leading in the last 150 yards. In the running broad jump Edward Gourdin, Dorchester Club, jumped 23 feet 9 1-2 inches and Harold Abrahams 23 feet 2 1-2 in. In the hammer throw, Fred B. Tootel, Boston, broke the British record with 178 feet. Matt McGrath, New York A. C. did 168 feet and Jack Merchant, San Francisco, 156 feet 6 1-4 inches.

(Continued from Page One) They were conceived and born in that consecrated era when North- ern philanthropy was applying the first torch of light. to the benighted freedmen, Dr. King, who entered Richmond with the Nortern army was made the first president of Wayland and with the exception of a brief intermission remained con- nected with the school until the sime of his death, The institution started in the basement of Nine- teenth Street Church and remained in those unsatisfactory quarters until eight years later. when Dr. King succeeded in erecting a great brick building on Meriden Hill in Washington and it became Way- land Seminary. Richmond ‘Theological Seminary found its first practical home in Lumpkin’s jail, the old slave per of cartier days, Dr, Charles Co rey, another member of the North. ern army became head of this school in 1868 and during thirty years of painstaking service, de- yeloped it from a primary. school ‘so an academy and theological sem- inary, In 1870 the jail was left ior the building on the corner of Nineteenth and Main streets. Uston oF Tooay From this small beginning the ‘work has gone oh until a great host ‘of preachers and teachers, many of whom are holding influential “und leading positions in life. have gone forth. Virginia Union University has one of the most heautitul and substantial groups of buildings to be found on any school campus. There are. six principal granite buildings, four smaller gra nite buildings’ and five wooden. build. ings, grouped with perfect sym- metry and with fine effect. The buildings are all lighted with elec- tricity “and heated with steam, They are provided with the hest.of toilet equipment and showor haths. The library contains 13,000. vol- umes, and is open from eight a. m. until 9:30 p. m., with the excep- tion of an hour at supper time. The Theological Department of the university appeals strongly to all colored Baptists who want a covrse of study equal to that xiven in Northern theological seminaries, and yet adapted tarthe special needs of the great multitude of colored churches in the South. The stand- ard of the Theological Department is as high as any young man need desire. Hebrew and Greek and all the regular subjects of a Northern course are taught. The department attracts students from all over the country and from the West Indies and South America. One-half of the enrollment in this department comes from outside of the State of Virginia. Each year more than one hundred students looking for- ward to the ministry are enrolled in the different classes of the uni- versity. The College Department has an equally creditable standing, —Re- quirements for admission are prac- tically the same as in the standard Northern colleges. ‘The course of study is thought by many students and teachers to be moro evenly balanced and better fitted to pre- pare for wide usefulness than the average course that young men take in the white colleges. The courses are as thorough as they are broad. Teachers in the best schools of the North commend the character of the work given in such subjects as Latin and Greek. Graduates from the College De- partment have been admitted to the same grade in Northern uni- versities as graduates from the Northern colleges, and have often ranked very high in classes in these Northern schools. ‘The academy connected with the school is especially adapted to pre- pare young men cor entering ecl- ” NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE a ta aa Ea a ee Re ee 3 Soca ma ae a " a a is an a ae a : a a ‘ | ( ( ) y RED os 5 yo ee - oe Lae Soe.

N. J) —Bostlegsrs cannot ply their trade on Sunday free from moles- tation and arrest, President Judge Miller decided in the habeas corpus action brought by Clarence John- son, Philadelphia, arrested hy State police at Centre Square Sun- day with 15 cases of whiskey in his automobile, legal possession and transportation of liquor was charged, and it was the contention of his attorney that this erime does not come within the law of 1705, which prohibits arrest on Sunday except for felony, treason or breach of the peace. “The point is whether a member of the State constabulary may make an arrest on Sunday for vie- lation of the prohibition enforee- ment act of 1923," said Judge Mil- ler. He then brushed aside the act of 1705 as having no bearing on the case in point, Me said that were the contention of the peti- tioner upheld it would be possible for liquor to be transported in Pennsylvania on Sunday without interference. He held that the mere statement of such a proposi- tion was sufficient answer to it. because of its ridiculousness and therefore dismissed the writ and remanded Johnson to prison.

P.): It has taken Charles Arm. ish, of Riverside, two years to dis. cover the cause of his failing health and confinement to bed 39 weeks in the past year, and now that the cause has been removed, he is making great progress. His ease is unusual. In the sum- mer of 1922 Armish was at Sea- side Heights with a crowd of friends on a fishing trip. As he ran through the water after a boat that they were using for crabbing he felt something hurt the’ great toe uf his left foot and thought he had been slightly pinched by a crab, but let it go at that, After he reached home he felt some pain and gave home treatment, From time to time the pain would re- turn, but it never became serious until a year ago, when he became alrmingly siek, At three different times he was in bed, all the time taking medical treatment, undergoing examina- tions with accompanying suffering, When all the treatment and some minor operations failed to produce relief and his health was growing worse, Armish became much dis- couraged. Finally he came across an old friend who liver several miles from here to whom he was telling his troubles, and after all the symptoms had been described the friend said: “Armish you gor some thing in your foot, and I will tell you what to do to soak it out.” The soaking mixture was pre- seribed and under belief that it would do no harm, even if it did not do any good, Armish followed instructions, exeept that he soak- ed both fect instead of the affected one atlone, . Mrs, Armish assisted and when she examined the toe about which the complaint had been made she caw something black, got a grip with twiezers, told Armish to grit, his teeth and pulled. Out came a needle fully an inch and quarter long. Getting over the shock, he has been improving and now feels that he will regain his old-time strength and vim. During the last two years he has lost 60 pounds and his nerves have been badly af- fected, 2 KLAN ISSUE IS INVOLVED IN MURDER TRIAL Washington, V. C. July 18—(P. N. S—The Invisible Empire of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, bobbed up today in Criminal Court No, 1, presided over by Chief Jus- tice Walter 1. SleCoy, of the Su- preme Court Bench, The subject was brought up by T. Morris Wampler, counsel for four culored men who ure on Lrial on a charge of first degree murder, in connec- tion with the shooting and killing of John W, Purcell, a culored po- iceman, in the southwest section last October. Fdward 1. Talbert, of apart. ment 20, 118, Northwest, a pray. pective juror and ex-service man, was being examined by Wampler when the attorney suddenly asked him if he was a mamber of the Ku Klux Klan. “Not now," Talbert answered. “Were you ever a member of the Klan?” Wampler continued. “L yeruse to answer,” was Tal. bert's retort. £ Mitorney Wampler, who is white, and who was former counsel for Joseph Graves, now grid to he serving a jail sentence far con tempt of court under the Prohihi- tion Law, then appealed to. the court to compel Talbert to answer. and Judge MeCoy ruled that, the attorney was entitled to an an- swer, ho matter what it might he. Talbert then explained -that he dropped out of the Klan “some months” ago, having joined it when he came out of the army. + He was then challenged for cause on the ground chat no mem- ber of the Klan can sit on a jury to try a colored defendant without heing prejudiced in advance agains! them because of their color. Judge McCoy refused to order Talbert to leave the box, as no copy of the Klan oath was before the court to show that the preju- dice existed, Talbert explained that he took no oath which would cause him to discriminate against The Negro Press And The Bunksters Ry J. A. Jackson (By The Axnociated Negro Press) Journalism rests upon four well defined factors, or legs, if you will raccept a figure for illustration ReeeeR EEN ly divided, thes eaameiea 3) elementary fea-) yee) tures of a legiti-f 572 eee) mate publication’ 36 eye may be termed: #8" a7) ee reader, interest, Jigen el circulation, ad- ae oo vertising a n Opa geeeeee eae) profit, ‘This isp eee es applicable to ev- 7, aes a every knowa teQame rn eo oo ee ee ee See ene eras save such as are admittedly propa- ganda shects and in those the lat- ter two phases are disregarded, for profits are acquired in some in- direct manner that has no rela- tion to clean journalism, Into such classification comes the personal spite papers, the wildeat invest- ment come-on invitations and the stempede-sale sheets. All these are beyond the pale of true journ- alism, A. Rew) Publication A real publication must first serve its reading public with news valae that is in keeping with the price charged to every buyer of the paper, or magazine. ‘The pub- lic huys NEWS and in the purehase of its papers is as entitled to its money's werth as is the ease when buying any other commodity, In- eresting one's readers is there- fore the full purpose of every edi- tor, the stall’ of reporters, corres- pondents, special writers, column- ists and artists who make up any publication, Circulation grows from that very interest. One reader tells an- other, the casual reader becomes the regular one, Newstand sales and subscriptions increase, and the foundation for the publication is laid. ‘Then comes the first glimmering of reward. Advertising must foi- low if the paper,has been intelli- gently developed, for no journal can possibly exist upon the income that is derived from the price it sells for less the cost of maintain- ing the machinery of circulation, Not less than twenty-five per cent of the printed space of any paper must be sold to advertisers if the paper is to live. No more than 30 per cent may be so converted into money earning purposes if the readers equity is to be preserved. Advertising in addition to such a maximum proportion must at once be counterbalanced by in- crease in the ratio of news space, which of course, meuns an enlarged paper. Maintaining this relation, is what makes or breaks a publish- er, Overhend Costs ‘The cost of raw paper, the office overhead, the range of distrit- tion, editorial costs, and the spend- ing possibilities represented by the readers of the publication are «ll factors to be regarded. One cent per Hino par thousand of circulation is regarded as a bas- jcally fair rate for advertisine ‘spuce. Circulation in specific vi cles may give greater ot less value to a journal, according to the view point of the advertiser. One of the greatest robberies perpetrated upon the readers of Negro journals is found in amount of their personal likes and dis- Tikes, or to enviously soliciting open disputes with other publicists ‘This sort of copy has no interest for the average reader, and a pub- lisher should charge any — editor who uses his columng the adver- tising vate of the paper for thus ‘wasting both the publishers space and the readers time, fo rthe edi- tor is certainly the only one gain- ing anything from the practice~- and his gain is the questionable one of having had his say, and ex: hibited his ege to public gaze. ‘The survey of virtually al] of the Negro publications of the country disclosed that in one week one hundred and twelve papers con- tained nearly five hundred inches of such emotional culbursts. At prices avevaying from one dollar per inch up to $5.60, the rate of Negroes, Citiwiies, or Jews. Wampler, with other defense counsel, noted an exception to the ruling of the Court, However, Talbert ix still subject to challenge. While attorneys for the proseca- tion have nothing ta say about Tal- bert's fitness to serve as juror, the defense attorneys may still issue a peremptory challenge and remove him. | This is the first time in the his- ‘tory of the local courts that either a mémber or former member of the Klan has been compelled to advwit membership. _ N.

BOARD REFUSES TO ASK TEACHER TO MOVE OUT BOARD REFUSES TO ASK TEACHER TO MOVE OUT White Residents Petition School Authorities To Request Colored Principal To Seek Another Home Site.

A petition was presented by some of the residents living in the vicinity of Thirteenth and Tatnall streets protesting against a teacher living in that neighborhood. The teacher is Charlotte Slowe who recently moved into Tatnall street. All other houses in the block are occupied by white persons. Miss Slowe is principal of No. 22 School. She formerly lived at Second and Justition streets, but a little more than a month ago she purchased the 1301 Tattail street property: Part of the house she altered into an apartment, which she let to another colored family. A few months ago two Jewish families moved into this white neighborhood. The whites resented it by voicing their comment to the colored women who were employed as maids and cooks. But they said nothing to the Jews nor made any complaint to the police. MEMBERS OF BRIDGE CREW DROWN Columbia, S. C., July 23—(A. N.

In conjunction with the meeting of the stockholders there was a conference of Managers from all the state and districts where Supreme Life Insurance is placed and all these meetings were replete with animated discussions, real enthusiasm and a forward looking program. The president's address reviewed briefly the general trade conditions and pointed out the relationship existing between those trade conditions and the development of Supreme Life. The continued Industrial depression was emphasized with especial reference to the curtailment of production, construction, unemployment, and the short and delayed cotton crops. In spite of the admittedly bad state of depression and deflation it was pointed out that the very low money rates which now exist in the financial centers of the country, and the unprecedented appreciation in the value of the Government securities tend to reflect in no uncertain terms the great deposits—all of which stand as a bulwark against any protracted deflation.

KINKY NAPPY HAIR--DON'T HAVE MORE PRAISE FOR DAVISBY RACE PEOPLE West Virginians Living in New York Have Nothing But Commendation for Democratic Standard Bearer New York City, July 23—(A. N. P.)—It is expected that John W. Davis' record as a champion of human rights will make him a popular candidate for the presidency among Negro voters throughout the country. Interpective of party affiliations. New York Negroes formerly living in West Virginia have nothing but praise for his stand on the race question. The Democratic nominee is reputed to have successfully fought a bill introduced in the West Virginia Legislature providing for the operation of "Jim Crow" cars in the State, and is said to have openly and actively opposed other attempts at racial discrimination. That New York Negroes are keenly disappointed over the failure of Governor Smith to hand the nomination was reflected in the talk of those who gathered at the headquarters of the United Colored Democracy, 2350 Seventh avenue. They appeared somewhat cheered, however, over the assurance that Davis was not a member of the Ku Klux Klan and had proved himself a friend of the Negro. Commenting on the selection of John W. Davis as the Democratic standard bearer, Ferdinand Q. Morton, a member of the New York City Civil Service Commission and a leader of local Negro Democrats, said: "As a member of Tammany Hall, I shall, of course, support the regular Democratic ticket. The partial defeat of the intolerant element in the party encourages colored Democrats, and they will, as a unit, support their ticket.

Frequent rains interrupted and delayed the farm work very much. the wheat harvest which is usually completed in June, has been very late this season and in the northern part of the State many farmers have just finished cutting. There is generally a large crop of straw, but the heads are not as well filled as usual in some sections, and the rains have caused some damage to the grain in the shock. The yield per acre will probably be up to the average for the past ten years. Threshing has commenced in the southern part of the state. The corn crop is very late, so an early frost will cause considerable loss. The rains have prevented cultivation and most fields are grassy and weedy. Some early crops on well drained land are looking well, but the crop on river and creek bottoms, where planted, is very poor. Conditions are worst in the eastern part of the State and best in the southwest. Tobacco There has been too much rain for the proper development of tobacco plants. Growth is backward, and fields generally need working. A favorable season is needed in order to make an average yield. Hay The hay crop is generally ready for harvest, but the wet weather has prevented much progress with this work. The yield will be unusually good if all of the crop can be saved. A large acreage of cowpeas, soy beans, and millet has been sown on land that had been intended for corn, but these crops have not progressed very well owing to the wet weather. Pastures have made splendid growth and are usually fine in all parts of the state. Potatoes The digging of early potatoes progressed rapidly during the past ten days, and the shipments last week were unusually heavy. The total carlot shipment to July 12 10,916 cars compared with 10,719 cars to the same date last year. The yield on the Eastern Shore has been better than expected, while in the Norfolk section the crop turned out poorly except on well drained land. Peanuts Peanut growers have had great difficulty in keeping their fields clean, owing to the frequent rains which prevented cultivation, and which caused rapid growth of grass. The condition of the crop is poor and the outlook is discouraging. Fruit Fruit prospects continue to be above the average in most parts of the state. Blackberries are now ripening, and the crop is very good. As a result of the unusual number of damp and rainy days the quality of apples is not as good as in the southern part of the state. Livestock The condition of livestock is generally very good. Owing to the happy condition of pastures cattle have not fattened as well as expected. Lamb shipments have been heavy, and prices to the growers are very good. Labor There has been little change in the farm labor situation. In the northern and central districts labor is very scarce, but in the southwest the supply has been more plentiful as the let up in mining and other industries has released some labor for the farms. HOWARD ADDS TOITS FACULTY Washington, D. C., July 16—A number of specially trained persons who have achieved high scholastic prestige have been appointed to take places on the faculty of Howard University next year.

Casualty Company Pays Baron Wilkins Claim New York, N. Y., July 23.—(A. N. P.): Through Dr. Chas. C. Taylor, general New York agent, the Continental Casualty Company of Chicago last week paid to the heirs of the late Baron Wilkins a claim of $1,400. Mr. Wilkins took out his policy only a few months before his death. Sentenced To Die; Killed Policeman Philadelphia, Pa., July 16—(A. N. P)—Having been found guilty of murder in the first degree on May 15, for the slaying of Harry Saunders, a policeman of the vice squad, Louisiana Thomas, 23, in whose room Saunders was killed during a struggle, was sentenced by Judge Ferguson to die in the electric chair. The woman collapsed as the death sentence was pronounced. According to Saunder's mother in whose home he lived with his wife, his absence from home five nights in the week on night duty was accepted as the truth by his wife who had the utmost confidence in him. And not until she was notified that he was shot and heard testimony at the trial did she know the truth, Saunders didn't have a regular heat. He was in the vice squad and his duties were in every part of the city. In court Louisiana, the woman who killed him, declared that Saunders had persuaded her to leave her husband who was very cruel to her. She added that Saunders promised to pay for her divorce and gave her money for it. Then she learned that he was married. In the meantime, Louisiana husband, learning her whereabouts, felt remorseful and pleaded with her to return. Realizing that her faith in Saunders had gone for naught and that she had a chance to start life over again, Louisiana made preparations to return to her husband. Saunders arrived as she was about to leave. A struggle followed and Saunders was killed by his own revolver in the hands of Louisiana. There were no eye witnesses. A new trial will be asked for.

C., July 24—(P. N. S.—Sympathetic passengers aboard a train that arrived here at 7:30 Thursday morning from the South told of a mother's devotion to her dying baby child. The mother, Mrs. Martha Roberts, aged 52, of West 142nd street, New York City, was on her way home from a visit to Aiken, S. C., and the child, Arthur, aged 18 months, was with her. The child died before the train reached the Union station. Mrs. Roberts held the stilled and silent form in her arms until it was taken from her at the station and removed to the morgue. Mrs. Roberts explained that the child had been bitten by an insect at Aiken. He had been attended by a physician and the infection appeared to be recovering. She said she had no thoughts of a serious ending, as she believed that her child had virtually recovered, otherwise she would not have tried to make the long trip on the train.

Wright was about to feed his hogs when he found them running around the pen very much excited. A large blacksnake was driving off a litter of suckling pigs and trying to get their place at the lunch counter. Grabbing a stick, Wright jumped into the pen when the snake turned upon him and, with head high in the air, started to strike. Wright jumped the fence in a hurry and the snake returned to his pursuit of dinner, giving Wright time to get his gun and shoot it. It was seven feet, ten inches long and over five inches in girth, one of the largest snakes ever seen in this vicinity.

Prince Ras Taffari and his suite are attracting admirable attention wherever they go among Europeans because of the dignity of their hearing, and the marked interest they show in inventions, arts, etc., but never show any excitement. They manifest fully that they are thoroughly modern in ideas and ideals and give out the impression they desire to secure the best there is in modern civilization for their own country.

The trustees were elected and confirmed; the leaders were confirmed and the superintendent of the Sunday school and the president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Society, Mrs. Sadie Long. The president of the Y's was confirmed, and a collection of $2.00 was raised for General Claims. After which the pastor sang the closing song: "Together let us live," and the meeting was dismissed. The following Sunday, July 13, was a big day in Zion. Service was open at 11 o'clock. The pastor, Dr. Gaines preached. The collection for the morning service raised was $63.08. Afternoon the Communion took place. We had an old-fashioned testimony meeting. A small collection was raised, and at 8 o'clock in the evening service was opened and Dr. Gaines spoke. The total raised during the quarterly conference was $116.92. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE ARE FARMERS INDEPENDENT? Being Some August Thoughts On The Fourth Of July By W. W. WHEELER, Ohio Hog Farmer (In the August Farm and Fireside) Another Fourth of July has come and gone for the folks who lead "the most independent life on earth," as farm life is popularly termed. I can't remember a Fourth of July on our farm when we were not busy either at putting up hay or cutting wheat. Both the hay and the wheat were considered more important than fireworks and pienics. While I couldn't dispute the calendar's statement that it was the Fourth of July, I was most positive that as far as I was con- cerned it was not Independence Day! I couldn't see how a farmer boy my size was very independent if he had to load hay or shock wheat on a holiday. I have thought this matter over for quite a few years since then, and I alve come to these three conclusions: That we farmers are too independent for our own good; That we are not independent enough; And that our independence is, after all, our most prized possession. I have tried to discover this much-talked of independence, to chuse it up into a corner and get a look at it. Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire; where there is so much talk about it, there must be some independence. There is some; in fact, I am quite sure that often there is too much. George Parks has a reputation for independence in a community I know quite well. He farms 136 acres, and is a pretty good farmer. George raised a carload of potatoes one year. A Chicago commission house offered him a price for a carload of No. 1's. He loaded up the car with potatoes, big, little, scabby, and all kinds. "That's the way I raise 'em, and that's the way they'll have to take 'em." George said. His check was considerably less than the offer for a car of No. 1's amounted to. George roared loudly. He had been too independent to grade the potatoes, and his independence cost him a nice price of money. Lute Kelsey is another independent chap. The county agent made quite an effort in our neighborhood one fall to persuade all of us to wait until after September 27th, the "fly-tree date," before sowing our wheat. Well, everybody for two miles around waited, except Lute. He was ready to sow the week before the 27th, and sow he did. "There ain't no young feller from the county seat going to tell me when to sow wheat," Late asserted; "nor any farm papers, nor any Farm Bureau meeting. I'll sow my wheat when I'm ready." The entomologists were right that year. The next summer Lute had a bad infestation of Hessian fly. His yield was much lower than the average. Some of the neighbors felt like cussing Lute out of his independence, too, because his crop of flies did not all stay at home. Those are examples of the farmer who is too independent for his own good. I believe more farmers suffer financially from being unwilling to adopt new but well-tried methods and ideas than from any other form of excessive independence. They are independent of information, so to speak. Others are too independent with regard to the interests of their community, and with regard to any form of organization, to get on as they might. Probably any farmer will agree that, on the other hand, he is not as independent as he would like to be. "I can't see that I have any in- THOUSANDS KILLED Statistics show that thousands of people are killed every year from Rheumatism and other diseases arising. From impurities of the blood.

ALL OTHER DAYS AT 5:30 P.M. dependence at all," I remember hearing a friend say. "On an 80-acre, one-man farm like this where I can keep no steady help, I can't even be away from home twenty-four hours in succession, on account of the cows, horses, chickens, and hogs. I am a slave to my livestock, which is supposed to be working for me. "I am utterly dependent on some one else, usually quite unknown to me, to set the prices on what I have to sell, as well as on what I want to buy. "I am dependent on weather and pests and other uncontrollable factors in the making of a crop. I can be independent only at great expense and loss." If I knew the solution to all of this man's problems I could soon quit working for a living. I don't know a single man or woman in the world who is absolutely independent. I do not think there is such a person, not even the idiot savage of the South Sea Isles nor the richest man who ever lived. We all wish for independence. In one form or other it is the goal toward which most of our strivings are directed. But no one ever achieves it completely; and if we had it I fear we would find we didn't want it. All things considered, no large class of people enjoys a greater degree of genuine independence than farmers, after all. It is a limited independence, of course—merely comparative independence—but, at that, measurably greater than fall to the lot of most human beings. A farmer is independent in that he can make his own plans, arrange his own work, and think his own thoughts. Two men are in my mind as I say this. One is driver of a milk wagon in the largest city in America, and an employee of the largest milk-distributing company in the world. He has driven his wagon every day for forty-eight years and two months. He has had just three days off in nearly half a century, days when he was ill. He exercised initiative when he decided to become a milkman. For forty-eight years almost every other workday life has been made for him by somebody else. By the decision of someone else he has risen long before dawn on more than 16,000 mornings. For more than 16,000 days he has repeated, with little variation, the same routine of going to the stable for his horse and wagon, of delivering his filed Complete BEAUTY CULTURE COURSE Mme. ANNA L.

Sixteen thousand times he has gone home when, according to the decision of someone else, he had finished a day's work. His is the monotonous story of millions of workers in industry and commerce, except that he has been longer at a single job. It's a story of pleasing the boss, of fear of discharge, of watching the alarm clock at home that they may not be late punching the time clock at the station. Then there's Joe Powell, whose farm adjoins ours on the south Joe is around seventy-five now. He has owned and farmed the same place for half a century. He has stuck close to the job—very few have been his days of leisure. He still works hard. Not from necessity any more, but because he prefers to. He too has risen early more than 16,000 mornings and toiled for 16,000 days. But in all those 16,000 days I don't think Jae has ever had to take an order from anybody. Each day's program has been his to plan. His has been the privilege of deciding when to start the moving machine, and how much to cut each day; his to decide each year what crops to plant in each field, what fences to change or repair, when to wean the calves and sell the shots. He hasn't been independent of weather mar of seasons, but close as he has tied to his farm, he has directed the expenditure of his time and arranged the disposition of his efforts. He has decided when to grease the wagon and where to set the threshing machine; when to shear the sheep and where to sell the wool. Yes, a farmer's independence is real. It is not absolute; no one has complete freedom. But a farmer's thinking is unconstrained, except by the limitations of habit and capacity. He is unfettered in thought and unmuzzled in speech. He is uncontrolled by the orders of superiors and unrestricted by daily routines, except as they are a neces- All Admire Her Lovely Hair Few people who meet this beautiful girl know how she obtained the gloriously lovely hair that now makes her admired by all who see her.

I am sure it adds a definite satisfaction to be aware of our independence, such as it is; to know that we can do our own thinking, planning and arranging. I hope we are not too assertive about it, and at least not too independent of each other. For in these days the greatest power is organized power, and organized power is one of our best hopes. Just as sincerely do I hope that we will increase our independence of habits that we should outgrow—independence of habits of doing old things in old ways, of being afraid of new ideas or of scouring them. The "ombattled farmers" at Lexington and Concord fired the first shot of American independence. And as independent thinkers and doers we farmers can continue as the defenders of honest freedom and liberty for all.

The question has arisen as to whether Mr. John W. Davis is a citizen of West Virginia or New York. It is said he maintains a residence in both states but has been voting in New York of late years. As the Democratic candidate for the Presidency which state he claims as his own is of interest. The birth rate in France remains about stationary from year to year and the number of marriages has declined. Last year the excess of births was 94,871, the lowest in its history, in a population of 39,209,518, being considerably lower than that of the two previous years. It is a very serious matter and is receiving the attention of the wisest of Frenchmen. Governor Trinkle's action in pardoning young Aubrey Barrett who was serving a life sentence in the State penitentiary forms one of the proper uses of the pardoning power which the Legislature contemplated when such authority was vested in the State Executive. Barrett began his sentence in 1916 when between 15 and 17 years of age. In his conviction many influential people of the State felt that justice had miscarried. Much credit is due Senator James E. Cannon and Mr. K. T. Crawley for their continued efforts running over eight years to obtain executive clemency in this case. The Papal crusade against women's indecent clothing bobbed up again in Rome Sunday, July 13, when Mgr. Abbotti refused holy communion to two women whose "low-necked, transparent dresses aroused his indignation." He read the women a stron lecture. We do not think the crusade will get far without falling down. In Europe and America the tendency among society people is to wear as little clothing as the wearers can get away with without being arrested. This is peculiarly so at the summer resorts. No crusade can stop the craze. It will only stop when it has run its course. France Dedicates Monument To Her Negro Soldiers When we consider the rush which our men made to get into the World War, and the treatment they received at home and abroad, from the Wilson Administration and the white officers and privates, in the home camps and on the battle fronts of Europe, and contrast it all with the lavish praise and decorations the French showered upon our soldiers of the Rainbow Division, before the American regulars got upon the fighting ground, and upon our regulars, we blush for our country, which shamed itself and so wounded the Afro-American in his loyalty and devotion that it will be a long time before the wound heals. There are those who think that this is not so, because they do not give us credit for having feelings, sensitivities, such as they have; but it is true nonetheless, and the pessimistic and belligerant temper of the race now shows it to be true. France "inaugurated" a monument to the 800,000 "Black Soldiers" of her colonies, who fought in the World War, at Rheims, July 13. Genera Achinard praised their courage and the exalted part they took in the final victory, sweeping aside the German accusation against those soldiers by declaring: "Our black sharpshooters conducted themselves like good Frenchmen, showing themselves worthy of fighting by our side." He said further: "They were terrible to the Germans because they regarded the Germans as savages fighting with disloyal arms and devasting everything from love of evil. Our sharpshooters fought well for France because she treats them with humanity and justice, on the same footing as other children." What a splendid tribute from the representative of one of the greatest Nations of the times. Eduard Dalladier, Minister of the French Colonies, said at the "inauguration," as they call it, that 800,000 Black Troops fought for France and that 30,000 of them were killed on the battlefield. It is worth while to die for a country like France. The United States should be such a country, but it is far from being so. Editorial Page of President Coolidge's Belief About Heaven We all have our belief about heaven. We imagine that no two people have the same self. This division of opinion is the result of our supreme ignorance of where and when heaven is. We are all interested in the question because it appeals to each one of us, the most vital way. "To be or not to be and 'I want to go to heaven when I die,'" such the creed and philosophy of human doom and hope. However we will seem unable to answer the first or explain the second statement.

We know how we felt the loss and what we hoped for in the resurrection. What did the President think in bereavement? We are all interested to know. According to the President's pastor, Reason Noble Pierce, the President, in answering a statement about the death of his son, made by the pastor, said: "That all may well; but what would heaven be like if it were made up only of old men and women?" The an interesting way to look at it. What would it look like? And who would want to be heaven, or to Norfolk, if it were made up only old men and old women? Evidently the President imagines heaven to be a place made up of all sorts of creatures, of all ages and sizes, with the spiritual indwelling that takes them a happy family in which the happiness of one is like unto the happiness of another. The consolation of Christian faith and living and the hope of the resurrection after death sooth and sustain us in all our trials and tribulations as nothing else can; so old fast our faith and hope, however we may offer as to what really is the nature of our consolation and what the hope may contain.

Children on Norfolk Truck Farms There is probably no condition in the State Virginia so sadly in need of reasonable asse legislative reform, and which has be perpetually ignored by reformers, welfare and health agencies as that appinoining to child labor and the work of mother truck farms. Every legislative enactment the State bearing on child and women lab There is probably no condition in the State of Virginia so sadly in need of reasonable and wise legislative reform, and which has been so perpetually ignored by reformers, welfare bureaus and health agencies as that appertaining to child labor and the work of mothers on truck farms. Every legislative enactment of the State bearing on child and women labor has directed its attention to this class of workers in industry, but not one has dared question the status of women and children in the fields. The idea seems to persist that farming is an occupation so sacred to the life of the nation that the sacrifice of mothers and babies in its conduct is permissible. Bureau Publication number 130, United States Department of Labor, entitled, "Child Labor and the Work of Mothers on Norfolk Truck Farms," compiled under direction of the Children's Bureau, contains information that should command the serious attention of the Legislature of the State. A copy of this publication should find its way into the hands of every welfare county health agent and onto the desk of every welfare league. The Bulletin lists the Norfolk section of Virginia as comprising the counties of Norfolk, Princess Anne, Nansemond, Isle of Wight and York, which is described as one of the most intensive truck farming areas in the United States. After giving a highly interesting statistical review of the work of women and children on the farms in this area, pointing out their social condition, the hours worked, the nature of the work engaged in educational, living conditions, et cetera, this striking conclusion is presented: "Although some of the children employed on the farms are old enough to spend a reasonable number of hours a day at work not too physically exacting, a large proportion are very young and some work excessive hours. One-fourth of the children included in the study were under 10 years of age; one-half under 12; one-sixth under 14 and had worked more than eight hours a day; and 76, of whom 57 were under 10 years had worked from 10 to 14 hours a day. Even picking, one of the simplest kinds of work done by children, means crawling along on the ground or stooping over, under the hot sun or, as in cutting kale or spinach, exposed to the cold and dampness of winter, and when prolonged for these hours becomes laborious. "The State Child Labor law, which forbids the employment of children under 14, in practically every other occupation, places no restriction upon the work of children of any age on farms. Some legal regulation fixing a minimum age and maximum hours is necessary to protect children who are put to work on the truck farms at too early an age and who are required to work longer hours than is generally deemed advisable for the immature." Whereas all of the children employed on the farms in this area are colored, the study was confined exclusively to this race. The bulletin also points out that these children have been much handicapped educationally. They were found to be considerably more retarded in school than any other group of farm workers studied by the bureau, including colored children working on Maryland truck farms. Here is a situation that demands the attention of reformers and legislators. The Children's Bureau of the Labor Department has dug out the facts and by so doing rendered an invaluable service. Reasonable legislation for correction of the conditions found is in order. REVIEW And COMMENT BY WILLIAM BRITTON STAND-PATTERS ALARMED The stand-pat Republicans of the race are having the time of their lives in their attempt to deliver the Negro vote intact to Coolidge and Dawes in Spirit of the Press We Need Strong Men From The Negro World. Negro child life everywhere is receive more and more attention and care, especially by the parents, who, along with other ways that have enjoyed the liberal education of our times, realize as never before the possibility wrapped up in child life. Our children are receiving better care because we have more education and are financially better able to get it than formerly. We are learning the first significance of the fact, as other races are learning it, that we can expect little of the man if we neglect the child. And more is expect of children than formerly. They are博者 and their natural tendency is to run wild, to indulge in pleasures, in recreation and keep such company and hours as are a good for them physically or morally. They becomes more evident in the holiday season when the schools are closed, than at other times. It behooves our parents, therefore, guard against these excesses in the children, the holidays ar far as they reasonably can, being best for the child, because, we all know "as the twig is bent the tree inclines." We need strong Negro men for the future. We should see to it that we have strong Negro children in the present. From The Negro World.

Our children are receiving better care because we have more education and are financially better able to give it than formerly. We are learning the full significance of the fact, as other races are learning it, that we can expect little of the man if we neglect the child. And more is expected of children than formerly.

A Million for Colored Education From the Winston Bilt Million dollar endowment funds are by no means infrequent in the realm or higher education for white students, but colored schools have hitherto been forced to content themselves with far more modest resources. The announcement that Fisk University at Nashville has completed a million dollar endowment is, therefore, to be regarded as one of the most important advances in recent years in the movement to broaden the educational opportunities of the colored race. The possession of such an amount of capital will permit an institution that already takes high rank in the training of Negro students to enlarge its field of usefulness to a degree commensurate with the demands that are being made upon it. The completion of the million dollar fund is especially notable because the citizens of Nashville gave $50,000 to swell the total. This is the largest sum which a Southern city has ever subscribed for the benefit of a Negro institution, a record which reflects great credit on the Tennessee capital.

With the Democrats practically shot From The Afro-American. Not since the birth of the famous Bull Moose Party, when the indomitable Theodore Roosevelt went on the warpath and relegated the great Republican party to the third place, has there been such a threat to the two dominant parties as they face in this coming campaign. With the Democrats practically shot to pieces and suffering from internal dissensions and the mortal stabs of the bloody Ku Klux Klan, and the Republicans having flung their defiance in the face of labor, the farmers of the West and the Negro, some interesting things may happen if LaFqillette and the groups that are backing him get really in the field in earnest. Already the great railway brotherhoods, the remnant of the Roosevelt Progressives, the Forty-eighters, the Socialists, and the Westerners are solidifying their forces behind the banner of the new Third party. To the Negro voter the situation is unique, not even in the Roosevelt campaign were the issues affecting him so clearly drawn. While many of the professional political leaders whose republicanism is as changeless as Southern Democracy, will try to corral votes for the Grand Old Party as they always have done and perhaps always will do, there is already afloat much independent thinking on the part of the Negro voters.' They are thinking of Republican records; they are weighing promises and past deeds; they are thinking of the Dyer Bill, of the Ku Klux Klan; but they are also thinking of the fundamental policies of a boss controlled and politically stagnant party machine. They want revolution and a new order. They want courage and not subserviency in dealing with human problems. If the progressives or any other group holds out promise of a new day, thers is little doubt but that many Negro voters will join this new movement. They will know at least that they can't possibly make matters worse and that they might make them better. Negroes have not as yet freed themselves altogether from old Republican entanglements. But this much is already evident, Negroes are roaming the entire political field and many have reached the conclusion that there is some other political course open to them save in the traditional ranks of the G. O. P. The action of the Democratic party in their challenge to the Klan offers food for thought. There is no bigger issue than that of the Klan in the present campaign. The Ku Klux is the secret and avowed enemy of our group and we must do battle until the enemy falls. If Republicans or Democrats are done to death in the warfare, so let it be.—Pittsburg American. REVIEW And COMMENT REVIEW And COMMENT BY WILLIAM BRUTTON STAND-PATTERS ALARMED STAND-PATTERS ALARMEL The stand-pat Republicans of the race are having the time of their lives in their attempt to deliver the Negro vote intact to Coolidge and Dawes in November. Many of the old leaders, whose leadership is steadily losing its effectiveness, have become alarmed and are predicting the direst consequences for the race in event its votes fail to swing the pendulum of political fortunes in favor of the Republican ticket. But say we unto the brethren, calm yourselves. See not thou the handwriting on the wall? For half a century we have begged and pleaded for an educated race, for a race of thinking men and women, and by the grace of Him who ordains all things, the children of aunt Hagar are entering upon an era of activity governed by thought. The products of schools and colleges are now in the ascendancy. And when men THINK they cease to be like dumb driven cattle. The time may or may not be ripe for a wholesale desertion of the Republican party by colored voters. This reviewer makes no attempt to pass upon the advisability of such action. The majority of the Negro vote will go to the Republicans in November as it has done throughout the years, but there will be defections. And for the defections this column will be thankful. Thankful because they indicate that independence in thought and action will hereafter govern Negroes politically, instead of the cursed boss party rule. The old leaders may howl, berate, ridicule, swear and tear their hair. But the young intelligent voter is solloquizing, "To be or not to be Republican. Whether 'its nobler in the mind to hang on to the Old Guard despite its years of neglect of my interests, or to cast lot with Democrats, Socialist, Farm-Laborites or what-nots? Mr. Edward Henry, president of the Citizens Republican Club of Philadelphia has come out for John W. Davis, the Democratic nominee. And there are thousands of other Negro voters who would flop to Davis, were it possible to disassociate him from the Democratic party of the South. Anyhow, Mr. Henry's action, clearly indicates that the Negro vote no longer is the absolute property of the Republican party. FACTS ARE FACTS FACTS ARE FACTS The Washington Tribune is one of the few race journals in fact, the only one this column has observed, that has had the temerity to call President Coolidge to square his actions with his utterances in his Howard University commencement speech. Most of our journals feel for that flattering speech with sugar coated comment. From time immemorial white speakers have flattered us with a glowing account of our wonderful progress. They have learned how to tickle us, and practically every speech delivered to a colored audience by a white man, be he mayor or governor, is a stock talk. Certainly it would have given the race a greater thrill to have heard President Coolidge declare that discrimination in government bureaus over which the Executive has control must go, than the hearing him recount our process of sixty years—a fact any of us may familiarize ourselves with by turning to the Negro Year Book. The President's speech sounded good, but a sober reflection on it brings to mind its inconsistency with his actions. The Tribune makes no mistake when it notes that the President evaded the question regarding his stand on the Ku Klux put to him by the N. A. A. C. P. There may be many of our race whose Republicanism blinds their eyes to facts, but the facts remain just the same. The Tribune has pointed out some that cannot be glossed over. Saturday, July 26, 1924 FRANCE HONORS HEROES "Our black sharpshooters conducted themselves like good Frenchmen, showing the missees worthy of fighting by our side," said General Achinard, in his speech dedicating a monument to the colored troops that died in the great war. And here is the answer to the disparaging speeches delivered in the United States Senate against occupation of the Rhine by black troops. "Our sharpshooters fought well for France because she treats them with humanity and justice on the same footing with her other children," continued the General. Yes, and in every war in which the United States has engaged black American troops have fought well. They have defended Old Glory at every call, or anybody else America or anybody else would dare stand before an audience and declare, "She treats them with humanity and justice," meaning the United States. While France dedicates a monument at Rheims to her black heroes, biased American historians busy themselves defaming the valor of Negro men who fought under the Stars and Stripes. INDEPENDENCE DAY PRAYER Full text of the prayer uttered by Robert W. Bagnall at the Independence Hall Ceremony in Philadelphia, Monday, June 30. Mr Bagnall's prayer was as follows: Almighty Father, the God of Justice and of Brotherhood, who didst draw from far lands Thy people with vision to this country and into this place, and moved them to pen and sign the immortal words that all men have the inalienable right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness; Who led them to contend and fight that a democracy might be established here in this country—We come to Thee as those who love this our land, as those whose fathers shed their blood in every one of its wars and gave of their offspring and of themselves gladly and freely that freedom might come and that the institutions of liberty might be preserved. We come to Thee, O Lord with the blood of four thousand of Thy children who have been lynched and tortured, who have suffered the agony of the fire and the flame. Their blood cries unto Thee from the ground, "O Lord how long? How long shall injustice prevail? How long shall liberty be denied? How long shall the doctrine of equality be transgressed in this Thy land which Thou hast ordained to be in truth a Democracy?" We know that Thou art a God of Justice and that Thou lookest upon injustice and wrong with anger; that Thou desirest Thy children to cooperate with Thee that there may be ended lynching, and discrimination, and peonage, and wholesale murder, and wrong of every sort that disgraces the name of this, the land we love—our land. And so, O God, on this the birth-place of Democracy we here re-consecrate ourselves to fight with might and main for our country, that here in this land; everywhere and at all times, all men may have brotherhood, and equality, and justice, and opportunity, without regard to race or color. All of which we ask for the sake of Thy dear Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Attain a higher, nobler, place Must of its sorrows drink his cup And strive aloft from shoulders up. ROBERT DANGERFIELD CRAWLEY TRAINS DUCK TO FISH Schenectady, N. Y., July 23.(A. N. P.): Charles Dubois has trained a duck to fish in Oneota Lake at Pittsfield, Muss. He tied a fishline and a baited hook to the leg of the tame duck and let the duck swin back and fourth across the lake. According to Dubois, the duck swan across eight times, bringing in a pickered each time. Dubois refused an offer of $300 for the duck. A boundary dispute between Haiti and San Domingo arose over the interpretation of the Treaty of 1874. N. A. A. C. P. Advice On Third Party Draws Strong Comment Of Race Editors 140. What was the greatest of all Sudan States? The Kingdom of Songhay which at one time, had an area equal to that of the United States, was the greatest of all the Sudan States. For nearly nine centuries (750 A. D. to 1591) the Kings of this great state reigned in regular succession. The existence of Songhay coincides almost exactly with the life of Rome from its foundation as a republic to its downfall as an empire. 141. What assistance did Mr. John D. Rockefeller give the Colored Y. M. C. A.? The second city to erect a modern building for Colored Y. M. C. A. work was Washington, toward which John D. Rockefeller donated $25,000 and in order to stir the race to activity, stipulated that a similar amount must be raised by the efforts of colored people. So impressed were the colored people with this generous idea (Continued from page 7) ment Association" speedily set about correcting its bad political blunder." That the third party is mostly "air" is a belief of one of the papers from the far South, the Mobile Forum, which give these movements of the fringes and the radicals credit for the good they suggest, but assert that "it is not generally believed that the independent party will succeed, and further holding that two parties are "indispensable" and "sufficient" in a just and lasting government. The Forum supports its contention by the notable example of Roosevelt coming back to the fold. PHILADELPHIA TRIBUNE One writer, Ed. Henry, in the Philadelphia Tribune, finds it difficult to believe that Dean Pickens addressed the progressives at the behest of the Association. He declares that he found nothing of the sort in original pronouncements of James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association, Mr. Henry points out that the LaFollette platform contains "not a single line touching the K. K. K., the lynching evil, the Dyer Bill or any other issue in which our race is vitally interested, and he awaits with anxiety a report from either Mr. Pickens or the Association in explanation "of this pledge to the LaFollettes," to a "candidate with a platform which completely ignores issues which so vitally concern our national existence. WASHINGTON EAGLE WASHINGTON EAGLE Says the Washington Eagle: "To advise Negroes to join such movements is to ask their support to something which thinking men do not count seriously as affecting the real course of politics," and it is the further opinion of this editor that the advice of the Association "means little or nothing, inasmuch as its policies and suggestions are too much in the clouds and too little on the solid earth." "Such an organization," writes the Eagle editor, "should at least realize that the term Third party is more a mere name than an actually existing body." HOTEL TATTLER Such a paper as the New York Tattler stands in the middle of the road for the time being. It admits that the defects of the major party give the progressives standing and believes that the third party "is disposed to go as far ahead of the people in radicalism as the two old parties are to lag behind them," but continues: "We shall be in a better position a week hence to write an opinion on the position in which the Afro-American people find themselves, politically. The situation is too muddled now to do that." AFRO-AMERICAN The Afro-American, editorially swings almost to the other side. It declares that "whatever the chances for success of a progressive party, there is no disputing the fact that it will give the Negroes the chance of their lives to show their disapproval of the Republican and Democratic parties." It believes that "the time has come to institute a new and more vigorous force in American politics" and that "If the Progressive party and the candidacy of LaFollette turn out to be a party brooking no injustice; cringing before no lawless mobs; harboring no racial discrimination on any inch of American soil, with a safe economic policy giving both business and labor a fair chance to serve and reap the that they raised nearly $100, 000 of which colored men paid $27,000. 142. Who has produced the largest watermelon? John D. Carter of Garn, Denton County, Texas succeeded, by a variety of crosses, in producing a watermelon weighing 122 pounds in 1922. Mr. Carter forced to match wits with the boll-wheel, studied the Burbank method until he was able to produce his giant melon. He predicts that in the not distant future 100 pound melons will be common. From four and one-half acres Mr. Carter marketed nearly 13,000 worth of watermelon, all at wholesale. NEXT WEEK'S WHATKOIS 143. What was the Shad rack incident of 1951? 144. Who is Julius Rosen- wald? 145. Who was known as "Queen of the Pancake? vice On Third Party ment Of Race Editors reward of service, its time has come." There is considerable praise of Mr. LaFollette as a man, best Kelly Miller referring to him as the "Noblest Roman of them all" and the "thorn in the flesh of his political adversaries." The stand of the National Association may not have amounted so much, but if the streamer head of the Pittsburg American may be believed, both parties are "ringing" under the onslaught of the Advancement workers. TID BITS In 1801 an old sea captain named Randall, decided to make his will He consulted Alexander Hamilton that brilliant Negro of the Virginia Islands, and the first Secretary of Treasury, in regards to the matter and Hamilton thought it would be fine for an old salt like Randall to found a home for sailors Randall's estate consisted of $7,000 and a farm on Manhattan Island, in the outskirts of what was then the little town of New York. A will was drawn promising that the sailors' home be established and that the income from the farm be used for the support of this home, and for no other purpose. But that "farm" is now in the heart of New York City. It is "real estate" now; and is estimated to be worth about $75,000,000 it is all built up, of course, and the income from it is more than $1,000,000 a year. Down on Staten Island is Sea Harbor, the sailors' home. He has every possible comfort and attention with but only 100 inmates. And yet only about half of that million-dollar income spent each year. The rest goes in piling up. Synthetic love may drive a man to the devil or a woman to fiddle but real love runs true to the pass and inspires the lover to follow his highest aspirations and the star of his vision. The third largest library of Portuguese literature, and especially of that produced in Brazil concerning the history and development of that country, has just been opened in Washington. It contains 40,000 volumes and is a gift of Dr. Manuel De Oliveira to the Catholic University America. Dr. Lima is a Brazilian and was for many years in diplomatic service of his country. The library was collected during a period of 40 years and contains many rare works which are not be had in any library of Portugal or Brazil. The collection. It is surpassed only by one in Lima and one in Rio Janeiro. It contains also many rare prints and engravings and will eventually be housed in building at the university of São Paulo erected solely for that purpose. Atheists deny the existence of God. They do not believe that the great first cause is a supreme, intelligent, righteous person. A belief in an infinite person who man must conform himself under penalties. ---
