Asseciate Paster don eee Portsmouth. . ‘The atmosphere of the situation between Rev, RH. Bowling and the committeo of the Conference needs to be clarified, ‘The public needs to be exposed to the lead- ing rays of truth relative to the affair. First of all, the committee has never preferred any charge of heresy axainst Rev. Bowling, and just why Rey, Bowling should be- labor himself to gorge the public with a rehearsal of some notori- ous heresy trials of antiquity beg- gars explanation. It is significant to note that Baptists have been singularly free from heresy trials, Such procedure smacks too much of Roman papal influence to com- mend itself to Baptists. ‘They have not been guilty of calling up the shades of the “Inquisition” to ferret out and squash their “theo- logical ophonents.” But since the issue has been raised apropos heresy, it.would not be begging the question to add a comment respecting the same, granted that what was adjudged heresy at different periods in his- tory has sinee been accepted as sound doctrine, it would tax the credulity of the most credulous to believe that it will ultimately be considered sound doctrine to deny the infallibility of the Bible. ‘The views of Christopher Columbus on navigation, of Lyman Beecher on election, of Bushnell on whether the revival was the only doo of hope for the sinner and of Dr. Mullins as to a statement of Bap: tist principles are only ag a “tale that is told” in comparison with cur attitude toward the Bible. And We uo nol oppose the views of those who attack the historici- ty and the ethical standards of the Bible because of the novelty of their affirmation, for they are not new. They ate views hoary with age and it might help to deflate the exo of some who delight t: strut around posing as modernists to be reminded that they are mod: em in nothing save in point of time. ‘The archives of antiquity are glutted with the outworn shib- boleths of destructive rationalieti: Bible crities, And while many whe essayed to fill such a role ones flared ferth like « meteor in the sky of time—only to go back lu the “vile dust whenee they sprung unwept, unhonored and unsung” — the word of our God has stood foe eer, However mach men hav “rocked the boat," and delayec the journey, the blessed old Book te “Old Ship of Zion has lend- ed many thousands, and will land wang more.” Anent “real heretics”: we hold no brief for any who “continue in sin that grace may abound;” or affirm the goodness of God to ex- onerate their conscience; or claim that the once applied blood yen- ders them immune to hell fire, But what we all need is that least es- teemed, but highly desirable vir- tue—humility, In strong charac- ters the want of humility takes the form of pride; in weak characters it takes the form of conceit; in both it is not due so much to the overvating of self as to the failure to compare self with that which is divine, We may be conscious that we know. more than. ovr neighbor, and we may feel our- s¢lves to be better than some oth- ers, but if we ave truly Christian, instead of being puffed up anil bonstful, we will be humble when we reflect that in the sight of God we are all weak, ignorant, erring creatures. “The wisdom of this world is," still, “foolishness with God.” One may have kept all the fnw from his youth up, and yet, like the young man who “met ,the Master face to face, lack the one essential thing.” “In men whom men regard as ill, I see so much of goodness still; In men whom men pronounce di- vine, I see so much of sin ar dlot, I hesitate to draw the line setweent the two—where God has sot.” “Lest we forget,” however, there are many of us Who have had as much scholastic training, and whose conduet from our youth up swill bear as close serutiny and pub- icity as others who—by cireumlo- zation and inuendo—seek to make it appear that those who have the semerity to protest the screaming af propaganda from the — pulpit which may undermine the faith of ome youth and shock thé Christian sensibilities of the saints of God are actuated ky sinister motives und malevolent purposes, To Im- sute or insinuate such a charge ap. avoaches dangerously near to the heresy of slander, Apropos conscience versus creed: Baptists subscrihe to no creed ex- sept the Infallible Bible. We are aot commissioned to declare our holiefs. nor to assert our unbe- lief, We ave charged to “preach he Word.” ) We do not feign as disinterest ed defenders of the truth. We fp intensely interested. With Pau] conviction we feel that we.areSet for the defense of the Gopal. Whatever theory of inspiratign we may hold, celebrated Bible /achol- ars like Broadus, Boyee, Pendle- ton, Alvah Hovey, 5, G, itullins, R.A. Torrey, and G, Campbell Morgan affirm the Infallibility of the Bible. And to assert,that those who believe in verbal inspiration do so in order to justify “slavery, drink, and promisegity among saints” is not, ever. respectable nonsense, ¢ In fine, verbal ifspiration has not been discardedfby any except those who are igngfant of what is meant by verbal inspiration. And it must by no mgans be forgotten that there is a wide divergence of opinion even antong scholars om most of these’ mooted question: concerning religion. And the at- titude of the real “devout enquir- ing scholar” should be to “speak that which he knows and to testi fy concerning that which he has seen.” MONDAY MORNINGS WILLEY A. JONNSON, JR. ‘There has been a controversy over which is the most drended day or morning in the week. Tt seems to be @ consensus of whistling opinions that Monday moruing is the most dreaded of all, Of course you always find a de vintion from general rules. It hes been said that there are ex- (nticns to all rules. You don't find that Monday ‘mornings are dreaded by all folks but the majority breathe easicr when they have come and gone.

RUSSIAN MONEY By BR. 5, FEREOES. | I see by the papers that, the So- viet Government of Russia Has just completed contracts with the British Government-to have money Jcoined in London. | ‘There is bound to follow a woe- sur period of unemployment among the expressmen and junkmen as they wont have anything to haul, Time was when if one worked a week in Russia and were paid laccording to the American scale of wages, it took you a week to get your salary home. Laborers worked only half time it took the other half to get paid off. They used to dump your sal- ary by the wagon loads out in the front yard and up against the house.

Wesley Wilson, 120 Delaware St. Matters that have been hanging over since the close of last season, and others that have come up during the intervening time will be taken up and disposed of.

The boys are tumbling all over themselves getting into position positions on the cars. Their desire to get a little adventure places them on the steps, the rear and front platforms of the cars. In the resulting confusion, one boy almost loses his lunch and another his bathing suit. His friends are frantic. "Hey, hurry up there, you're keeping us waiting!" they yell as he stops at the steps of the car to pick up his materials for swimming. For the boys, especially, are eager and restless to reach the place. Then begins the ride to the beach, about two and a half miles away. The cars start through the famous old fortress, then a mildly interested town, and finally the countryside. Trees, green grass, flowers growing wild along the road. Nature in bloom, the fragrance of the countryside which ESTHER BIGGYU World's greatest singer and actress. Tous and named Hirta Beauty Prestations. They are the best in the world. Hi-Ja Chemical Co., one never gets in the city, mixed with the twang of the seaside, all cast their charm on the excited humans in the car. Now the great beach resort looms into view. The boys pile off the car, anxious to be the first to "break water." Fathers hurry to reserve tables for the family. One little fellow is particularly struck by the great body of water and the huge waves that come breaking over the beach. "Gee, that's a lot of water!" the little inland cries The boys dress quickly for the water. The more ambitious walk on the jetty for a dive. The timid stay in close and wade out. Joyous voices and happy faces leave no room for doubting that the anticipated pleasures are being realized—that the sweltering weather hold no fears for the youths in the water. Dances, trips on the merry go round and Dixie Flyer, picture taking, eating, spooning, and walks down the beach round out the day and the word is passed around that the cars are waiting to return the guests to the boat. "Tired, but happy," is the way one person expresses the experience. "Shucks," another says, "why can't we stay longer?" But they treke back to the cars. Ride thru the night. Rush for chairs on the boat. Find sweethearts, mothers, fathers, and friends; distribute the chairs and settle down for the trin back. Someone strikes up music on the boat and the quiet is broken by the rush of the younger set for the saloon where they take a few dances; and then fatigue overtakes them. They return to their places on the deck. The boat docks, they get off—slowly—take cars or get into the waiting autos, go home and have fond memories of this trip until the next. Thus an outing comes and goes.

OLD TENANT FACES EVICTION Peyton Harvey, colored, who began housekeeping with his wife 46 years ago at 2103 11th street, N. W., at a monthly rental of $12.50, is now facing eviction. He is so old he has lost trace of his age. According to his figures, he had paid enough rent to buy the house several times over. His rent was raised in 1912 to $15 a month. According to these figures he has paid about $7,200 in rent and still owns nothing but the house furnishings and his notice to vacate. The house is a two-story frame structure owed by Catherine Brooks. She stated in her notice to Harvey she desired to remoldel the house and install modern improvements. Suit was filed in municipal court to evict Harvey, and the case came up yesterday before Judge Mechan. After reading Harvey's affidavit of defense, in which the latter set forth his troubles, the court continued the case until Friday. Attorney J. N.

James State Tennis Tournament Best In History SPLENDID SPORTSMANSHIP AND ALL-ROUND PLAYING IN EVIDENCE Players Entertained Royally By V. N. I. I. Southeastern Meet Next Year. BY P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Petersburg, Va., August 9—Displaying an unbeatable brand of tennis, in combining a consummate skill in execution of strokes and splendid judgment, J. W.

SPORTMANSHIP GUP AWARDED One of the features of the tournament, which was perhaps the most successful ever held, was the awarding of a beautiful silver loving cup given to the association by Dr. E.

C. in their first appearance at the State meet against such opposition as they drew in their matches, the majority being played against the national doubles champs, Drs. Downing and McGriff. HOW FINALS WERE WON J. W. Anderson opposed W. B. Layton in the finals and in one of the best and most interesting matches of the tournament, won 6-0; 4-6; 6-4; 4-6; 6-4. Anderson had previously defeated Dr. Pogue two straight, love sets, Paige Crichton 6-0 and 6-2, and drew bye in the first round. Layton won his way to the finals by some of the most consistently brilliant tennis of the matches. In Layton's first match he defeated Dr. Patterson 6-1; 6-2 in a match featured by long volleys, and Dr. McGriff he defeated in the third round in one of the hardest fought battles of the tournament under a boiling sun 4-6; 7-5; 8-6. Anderson's backhand half-lob was broung into play in the rallies and against it and his other diversified attack and defense Layton's best game was an occasional smash at the net and his wonderful passes. He was fatigued from his gruelling test against McGriff earlier in the day and Anderson took the first set at love. Layton began rising in the second set to the heights which he had attained in his match against McGriff and smashed his way thru for the first game, won the second on vollying, broke through Anderson's serve for the third game, but lost his next serve and failed to take Anderson's service. From this point on it was a bitter battle, but Anderson was master of the situation from nearly every standpoint. Layton strove desperately to stave off defeat, but Anderson's court covering, his steady playing and coolness under fire finally won him his great victory. Let it be said here, however, that Layton played wonderful tennis. MEN'S DOUBLES FINALS Dr. J. L. McGriff and Dr. E. D. Downing, national champs faced A. H. Turner and J. W. Anderson in the finals of the men's doubles and lost 6-3; 6-3; 4-6; 6-1, in one of the best battles of the three days campaigning. No doubt the many matches which the losing team played had something to do with their inaccuracy, but the winning team played wonderful tennis. Turner and Anderson won first game when Anderson passed McGriff. Downing was lobbing effectively in the next game and the score was evened at 1-all when Turner overdrove in returning one of McGriff's terrific drives. In the next game Turner and Anderson won on Anderson's service, but the fourth game went to McGriff and Downing when McGriff service aced twice for 2-all games. They took the next game to take the lead when Downing lobbed one for the final point. Turner and Anderson, however, went after the remaining games, took the lead and especially through Anderson's many difficult returns, were never headed in the set, winning at 6-3. In the second set McGriff and Downing opened with a rush and won on Downing's service to lead at 1-love. Anderson's and Turner evened it at one all on Anderson's serve and then took the lead and held it until the count was 5-1 in games. From here McGriff and Downing rallied and brought the count to 5-3, McGriff winning a service and Downing lobbing wonderfully in the next game for a love score. Turner and Anderson Captured the set at 6-3 when Downing overdrove. After a short rest McGriff and Downing came back and with a wonderful display of tennis took the set at 6-4. McGriff was uncanny in his judgment of balls, in his vollying, and in his placements, while Downing was a shining star with his powerful forearm lobs. Downing and McGriff took the first game when McGriff took the net and outdrove his opponents for the game. McGriff and Downing took the next game on Downing's serve. Turner and Anderson made a strenuous effort to break through and did so, making the count 2-1, but favoring their opponents. McGriff's vollying smashes and well placed lobs, combined with fine strategy and court covering, and his partner's hard driven lobs and net smashes came to the front and they took their games with afine exhibition of tennis for the set at 6-4.

With the score in favor of Anderson and Turner at 5-love, and Downing serving, McGriff killed one at the net for the only game in the deciding set, which was won by Anderson and Turner for the match and the men's doubles championship of Virginia.

The match was featured by the hard driving of Mrs. Reid and the good serving of both. Mrs. Preston was better in court covering and was equally good at the net or in the baseline. MIXED DOUBLES FINAL Teamed up with the ladies singles champ of Virginia, Dr. McGriff, won the mixed doubles title from Mrs. Gertrude Jones and Mr. A. H. Turner in straight sets 6-4; 6-2. In this match the winner was seldom in doubt, as Mrs. Preston held up her end of the playing with the same ease with which she won the singles title, and Dr. McGriff was hitting his best form in his smashing volleys.

Dendron Giants Tie Capron Giants, 3-3 Game Featured by Fast Fielding of Both Teams, Called on Account of Darkness. By R. L. WOODRUFF Capron, Va., August 11.—Fielding like demons, fighting for the game until it was finally called on account of darkness, the Capron Giants tied the Dendron Giants 3 markers to three, the game being called on account of darkness in the eleventh chapter. The feature of the game was the fast and dazzling fielding of the teams, both robbing each other of sure hits in the pinches. Darden relied on Woodruff in the sixth inning, while (Chuck) Bignick on the mound for Dendron was holding the Giants to "nary a hit" up to the eighth. COLONIAL 3 shows daily: 7:45 and 9:15 P.M.

The program continues throughout the month with visiting ministers, their choirs and congregations worshipping. REV. BOWLING TALKS ON RELIGIOUS CREEDS "The very diversity of creeds testifies to the inadequacy of indiscriminate interpretation of Scripture." This appeared a very timely statement when uttered by Rev. Richard H. Bowling in the course of a special sermon at the First Baptist Church last Sunday night. He had just finished reading selections from a number of voluminous authorities placed on a table near his pulpit stand. These creeds of the Roman and Greek selections were taken from the Catholic, and the Presbyterian, Episcopal, Methodist, Lutheran and Baptist churches. Continuing he said that creeds or summaries of belief would appear indispensable for other reasons also. "For example, a creed is almost always corporate judgement of the church or branch of the church adopting it and is therefore a reasonably safe guide for its generation. Also, a creed is a means of guidance for those who desire leadership for their thinking, a guard against hasty doctrinal errors, and a bulwark against their spiritual here- Perpetual Agitation Perpetual Agitation "But if creeds are so valuable, why the perpetual agitation about them? Why the adoption of newer creeds supposedly all based on the Bible while the Bible remains the same from century to century? Why the allowance of so much individual liberty in interpretation? The earliest Baptist creed, for example, was issued in 1527. This was superceded by another in 1644, this in turn by another in 1869. This latter creed was enlarged and adopted by the American Baptists in 1742 at Philadelphia. This statement of Baptist beliefs consisted of about 13,000 words. Another widely accepted statement was issued in New Hampshire in 1832 and consisting of only about 1,500 words. Amended statements have been issued since by Edward T. Hiscox in 1890 and again in 1894. Liberty of Conscience "Moreover, this eminent Baptist authority does not stop at arrogating to himself the right to amend and re-amend a widely accepted credo of his church. He says in his New Directory for Baptist Churches, 'Baptists have their Confessions, or, as they are more commonly called, Articles of Faith. Most churches have these summaries, and each church uses such form as it may prefer; or no form at all, if such be its choice. None are binding on the conscience of any, and members are not required to subscribe to any. The new Testament alone is their authoritative and binding standard.' Traditions of Men "As to the true place of a creed, let us note the suggestion of the text, II Cor. 4:13. Paul's credo as to eternal life was based on his personal conviction, as was the similar case of the Psalmist in the happy reference to the Septuagint translation of Ps. 116:11. A creed in the long run should be more than a mere intellectual discipline. Therefore creeds are very properly abandoned or altered as they come to inadequately express a present-day faith. When a creed is merely allowed to pass unchallenged but is given no worthwhile assent, i. e., such an assent of mind and heart and will as to accept the logical implications of the creed, that creed has become obsolete, a mere outward form, a tradition of men. CONFERENCE COMES TO METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Bishop, Presiding Elders, Pastors And Lay Leaders Will Discuss Problems For Religious Advancement. The first Regional Convention of Religious Education comprising the Virginia and Alebmarle districts of the A. M. E. Zion Church will be held in Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church of this City, September 10, 11, 12. Membership in the convention includes the bishop, the Rt. Rev. G. L. Blackwell, of Philadelphia; presiding elders, pastors, preachers, district and local superintendents, district and local presidents of the Varick Christian Endeavor Societies; officers and teachers of local Sunday schools and V. C. E. Societies. A large number of delegates, representatives and visitors from Virginia and North Carolina will be in attendance including some of the most prominent church and religious workers in the denomination in these states. An elaborate program, covering practically every known subject having to deal deal with religious education, has been prepared and speakers, of ability will read leading papers, or give key discussions on these subjects, which will be followed by a general discussion from the floor. Bishop Blackwell was in the city this week making preparations for the coming of the convention. He was joined here by several prominent North Carolina and Virginia pastors and lay leaders who entered into a formal conference looking toward formulating plans to make the meeting an epoch making event. The pastor and members of Metropolitan Church are making extensive preparations for the entertainment of the visitors. The conference promises to bring to Norfolk one of the most impressive religious educational meetings held here in several years. A large number of visitors of all denominations anticipate attending the sessions. Study and Prayer "But who is to determine creed changes? And by what standards shall we gauge the adequacy or inadequacy of creeds? I would again cite the suggestion of the text. There must be a living faith behind the confession, not a mere attempt to draw up a logical statement on which all men may agree. Only when we have studied such circumstances may we be justified in changing the symbols of the faith of our fathers." Things I Believe In conclusion, the speaker read what he termed a glimpse of his own creed, the things which for him made religion a thing as vital I. "I believe in God,—His existence, His power, His love, His holiness. II. "I believe in Jesus,—as Son of Man, Son of God, as Savior from sin, and as Lord of life. III. I believe in the Holy Spirit,—as God manifest in spiritual presence, as Guide of our conscience, as Guide of our thinking. IV. I believe in Man,—as imperfect but aspiring, as a precious value in God's sight and capable of Divine Sonship, and as destined under God for personal survival of death. V. I believe in the Secondary Agencies of Salvation,—Prayer or communion with God. The Bible, God's best written word to men. The Church, guardian of the ordinances of baptism and communion, provider of needed fellowship, best means for Christian mass effect and the expression of Christian corporate mind. The Ministry, of pastors, evangelists and missionaries, for the present day utterance of the mind of God. The home as a miniature spiritual commonwealth where by Christian nurture souls are led into a saving knowledge of the Christ way of life. VI. I believe in the Program of Jesus,—transmission of truth by personal contact, world evangelization, thorogoing instruction in the Way." CUT ON FOREHEAD Wille Goodman, 918 6th street was cut on the forehead and finger by Willie Riddick at 12:30 Sunday morning, according to police records. His assailant is still a fugitive.

WARDROBE TRUNKS PART TWO PAGES 7 TO 12 Prominent War Wroker Weds Eastern Girl Chicago, Ill., Aug. 13.—(A. N. P.): A notable marriage ceremony was solemnized in this city at high noon Tuesday when Miss Ettamay Louise Smith, a teacher in the public schools of Baltimore and a member of one of that city's leading families, became the bride of Dr. Frank Adrian Pearl, Los Angeles. Dr. Edward Williams, of Hope Presbyterian Church, was the officiating divine. During the war Dr. Pearl rose to special prominence in connection with his work as director of the campaign which resulted in the erection of a community house for the famous Ninety-second division. In all parts of the country Dr. Pearl carried the story of the needs and deserts of the boys who were to make such a name for themselves, a story that provoked a response from all public spirited citizens. He also did exceptional work as a member of the medical reserve corps. A honeymoon tour of Dr. and Mrs. Pearl will include a number of large western and Canadian cities, a Pacific coast cruise and end in Los Angeles where they will be at home after October 10. were three more colored women who were elected without opposition. They were: Mrs. Cassie Harris, Fifth Ward; Mrs. Carrie Tillman, Sixteenth Ward and Mrs Florence Davis, Nineteenth Ward. Moore Nominated There were two Negroes who filed for the State Legislature from the Third District, Walthal M. Moore, who ran and won the office four years ago, and John A. Davis, attorney, who was making his first trial for office. There were also five whites who filed for the office, one of whom was a woman. Moore led the ticket for that office, while Davis lost by far less than two hundred votes. Moore had organized support while Davis had no such support. Negro Ward Against Hartman The fight made on Judge Moses Hartmann because of his decision in the golf case, was felt in several wards of the city. Hartmann lost several thousand votes in wards largely populated by Negroes. He ran behind in wards fourth, fifth, sixteenth, seventeenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-second, and twenty-third which shows that they used their votes wisely. Farm Extension Service Covers Several States --- Gaines New Manager Supreme Life Co. Columbus, Ohio, August 13.—(A. N. P.): The own supreme Life and Casualty Company has gone another step forward in local public opinion by electing Geo. L. Gaines, General Manager of its new Industrial Life Department. The appointment is here regarded as most satisfactory one for the company and for the public at large. Mr. Gaines is a man of wide experience in executive positions. He made a fine record at Wilberforce University and was an eminent success as an executive in the management of the famed hotel, Berry at Athens, Ohio. South Norwalk, Conn.-Mrs. Campbell, of Ramond street, is ill and confined in the hospital. *Quite a few of Norwalk's citizens are preparing to go with the Sons of Norwalk on their reunion to Norfolk, Virginia. *The Ladies Missionary Society had a very fine address delivered to it Friday, August 8, by Miss Rebecca Hall, of this city, at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. *The Elks had a fine time in Meriden, Conn., August 7. The Sunday school carried a large crowd to Savin Rock last Thursday. *Quite a number of people of Norwalk leave for Norfolk, Va., with the Sons of Norfolk Saturday, August 16. We wish them a pleasant stay and return home with glad tidings. *The Elks had their field day at Hanover Park, Meridan, Conn. All report a jolly time. *Mrs. Aikens, of East Norwalk, motored to Washington, D. C., to spend the remainder of the summer with her duaughter. *Miss Maxie Cooper, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Cooper, South Norwalk, is planning a bright future as she will enter Hartshorn Memorial College, Richmond, Va. RACE WINS IN CITY ELECTION IN ST. LOUIS Gains Big Representation In City Central Committee; Women Carry Three Wards Without Opposition. (Special to the Journal and Guide) St. Louis, Mo.-For the first time in the history of St. Louis, a colored man, Robert T. Scott, was elected a member of the Republican City Central Committee. Scott won out over a hot fight in the 6th Ward in which he defeated two white opponents by a nice plurality of 166 votes. The Sixth Ward has a larger Negro vote than any ward in the city. At the same time, Mrs. Elizabeth Gamble, a prominent business woman was elected Committeewoman of the same ward. Mrs. Gamble succeeds herself in office, she having been appointed to the office some time ago by the retiring committeeman, Anton Schuler. She was opposed by Mrs. Jean Colbert, white, who received 540 votes and Gertrude Williams, colored, who received 718. Mrs. Gamble received more than both of her opponents. In Twenty-third Ward The next battle ground where colored candidates played an important part for Committeeship, was in the Twenty-third Ward. Mrs. George Gallian, colored, won over six white women in a hot contest, receiving more votes than all the other five together. Walter B. Cathrell, who ran for Committeeman, lost to Maffitt Bates, white. The Twenty-third Ward it will be remembered, has been dominated by Jas. N. McKelvey for many years. But the defeat of his man, Gilsinn for Committeeman is regarded by many as the undoing of McKelvey in city politics. While his man Gilsinn was being defeated for Committeeship, McKelvey, who was candidate for Sheriff, lost his own ward to Tony Schuler, who carried the ward by a nice majority. Five Women in Committee Aside from the two, Mrs. Gamble and Mrs. Gallian, who had contests for Committeeships, there Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 13.-Declaring that previous to 1906 there was no Agricultural Extension work among Negro farmers of the South; that the work had its beginning in Macon county, Alabama, 18 years ago under the influence of Tuskegee Institute and its founder, Booker T. Washington; that the work among Negro farmers has been extended with 300 Negro Demonstration Agents to the state of Ala., Ark., Ga., Ky., La., Md., Miss., N. C., Okla., S C., Tenn. Tex., Va, and W. V.; that the work is now carried on at a yearly expenditure by the Federal and StateGovernments of $400,000; that the incessant demands upon the Federal and State Governments to create an auxiliary organization in Extension Service for Negro farmers has resulted in increasing the morale of the Negro farmer and in bringing about friendlier relations between the races in the South, T. M. Campbell, Field Agent for seven Southern States addressed 378 Negro teachers from 12 Southern states attending summer school at Tuskegee Institute today. The occasion of Campbell's address was his report on an extended tour of 2541 miles through Ala., Ark., Okla., and Texas, winding up with a visit to the 21st annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools at Dallas, Texas, July 30, 31, August 1. Other addresses by delegates to the Texas meeting were made by Prof. W. T. B. Williams, Field Agent for the Slater Fund; Clinton J. Calloway, Director of the Department of Rural School Building, and Monroe N. Work, Director of the Department of Researchs and Records, and Editor of the Negro Year Book; all of Tuskegee Institute, stating among other things, the high endorsement of the Agricultural work among Negro farmers of the South by the National meeting of Teachers in Colored Schools of the country.—By A.

SOUTH NORWALK Norfolk Journal and Guide FARMERS MAKE TOUR THRU OLD NORTH STATE Make 450-Mile Inspection Trip Thruout Vast Farm Area; Wonderful Educational Benefits Derived From Journey. (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Graham, N. C., Aug. 13.—A party of progressive Negro farmers left this city at 9:20 o'clock, July 28, for a tour of the farms of southeastern North Carolina. The first stop was made at Snow Camp, the camping ground of Cornwallis during the Revolutionary War and the home of Governor Dixon, of Montana. Siler City was reached at 11:30 o'clock, where was found a progressive little city with a population of 2000 people; five hundred of whom are members of the Negro race. Among them are some very progressive business men and farmers including Todd R. Edwards, a watch maker and jeweler; Ben Dark and George Price, prominent farmers. Leaving Siler city, the party next stopped at Carthage, famous for Tyson and Jones buggies. Introduction to the famous watermelons of John Aldridge was given by Mr. Aldridge himself. On to Taylorsville, the party found Mr. L. R. Taylor, another progressive farmer with sixty hands picking famous Elberta peaches for Northern markets. To the farmers of the party, Mr. Taylor sent over to his home two hampers of his select famous fruit. At this point Mrs. and Miss Gunn were left for a short stay. Off To Pinehurst Leaving Taylorsville the party went over to Pinehurst to visit the farm of Mr. Leonard Tufts, where a fine herd of Ayrshire cows and modern dairy barns were seen. An inspection of Mr. Tufts' fine dows of four hundred Berkshire hogs including the Onward and Wild Rose Champion types was had. A modern hog house, breeding crates, with rye, rape and chufas growing for grazing make up the equipment for these hogs. Going thru Pinchurst and on the way to Aberdeen the party saw a world's renown peach orchard laden with peaches some of which were ripe and ready for market. The practical lessons learned from these orchards were: 1) They were well cultivated and kept. (2) They were immune from the tying of cows. (3) They were pruned, sprayed and fertilized well. Lumberton, Next Stop From here the party drove to Lumberton, where the night was spent. At this place the group was highly entertained by local agent, S. T. Brooks, and his staunch friends. Leaving Lumberton Tuesday morning, the farmers drove into Whiteville, where they were met by the Home Demonstration Agent, Miss Spaulding, with ministers, teachers, farmers and their wives and children. Here the group was served a sumptuous picnic dinner which the forty-one farmers enjoyed. Short speeches and a hearty handshake and then on to Wilmington was next in order. In Wilmington Tuesday night was spent in the Wilmington High School. Prof. E. F. Colson is due much credit for the interest he took in helping to make it comfortable and happy during the sojourn of the party in Wilmington. All aboard a special car chartered for Shell Island was the next feature in the tour. Here the farmers got a fine view of the mighty Atlantic Ocean and a few went in for a dip. After enjoying themselves for a while on the beach, dinner was had at the Shell Island Hotel. Leaving here the party turned faces homeward. On the way home they stopped over for a short while at Costal Plain Experiment Station at Willard, where some good cows, pastures and one of the finest grape orchards any where in the country were seen. The night was spent at Kenansville, where the farmers were guests of farmer F. G. Davis. Thru Duplin County Leaving early Thursday morning the party drove thru Duplin and Wayne counties where some fine farm and truck crops were viewed. Arriving at the State Asylum for Colored at 11 o'clock, the group was met by Dr. Faison, who took much interest in showing the farmers the fine farm there. Here was a fine herd of 80 Holstein cows and heifers. Thirty-two of these cows were giving 110 gallons of milk per day, all of NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 Fauset Novel Reaches Chicago Critic Chicago, Ill., August 12.—(A. N. P.): A recent issue of the Chicago Tribune contained a review of "There is Confusion" by Jessie Fauset, eastern novelist. The review was written by Fannie Butcher, the Tribune's critic, who found the novel neither bright nor dull, interesting because of the story, and not great because there was not enough of the Negro in it. Miss Fauset's Négroes, according to Miss Butcher, are too much like white and eternally being hurt because they weren't, "She would have written a novel more nearly approaching greatness," had she injected something of the purely black culture into the picture." Indict Memebers Of Illinois Mob Cairo, Ill., Aug. 13.—(A. N. P.) Nine members of the mob which sought to lynch three suspects of the murder of a young white woman have been indicted by the Pulaski Circuit court grand jury. If convicted after trial they are subject to penalties of one year in prison or a $1000 fine. Two of the suspects, Hess Connors, 22, and Fred Hale, 19, were tried and found guilty. Connors was given a death sentence and Hale life imprisonment. Swarm of Bats Breaks Up Court Richardson Park, Del., Aug. 13.—(A. N. P.) Residents, who have been kept in a nervous state for a week by small boys chasing monkeys across the fields and swarms of mosquitoes that even tackled canary birds, fought off a swarm of bats Saturday night. One of the pests disrupted the Court of Magistrate Tinsman during a hearing. While Constable Popeck held the prisoner, an auto speeder, Squire Tinsman, with his family of seven children, waged a winning battle with the bat in a bedroom over the Courtroom. After the bat had been killed the court resumed its deliberations. which was consumed by the inmates of the asylum. After seeing the growing crops which were superbly fine, the party returned to the building where it was refreshed with an old time barbecue, watermelons and fruit. After dinner the party was divided into two sections, each headed by a doctor and assisted by Mr. Howell. These gentlemen took great pleasure in showing the farmers thru the different departments of this great institution, where as many as possible of the requirements of the inmates are manufactured. On To Raleigh Leaving here the farmers drove thru to Raleigh, then to Method where the night was spent at the Berry O'Kelly Training School. Before retiring for the evening, views were exchanged with Mr. O'Kelley and Prof. H. L. Trigg. The farmers were informed by Prof. Trigg that Mr. O'Kelley owns nine hundred acres of land immediately joining the school. He is a very progressive business man and farmer. The following morning the group was shown over the Central Experiment Station and State College Dairy farm, where was witnessed some excellent experimental work. Leaving Raleigh a section of the party journeyed to Durham where it was shown thru the great institution known as the Nort Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. Here the farmers were served one of the most sumptuous barbecues and dinners of the entire trip. About 450 miles were covered in making the tour, which every farmer enjoyed and feels that he was much benefitted by the journey. Much credit is due Mr. T. M. Duck, noted truck farmer of Graham; Professor J. E. Gunn, principal of the Alamance County Training School, Burlington Training School, Burlington, N. C.; and Prof. John D. Wray, Club Agent Greensboro, N. C., in helping to make this trip a success. EDWARD WATERS COLLEGE GETS NEW PRESIDENT Jacksonville, Fla.—The Trustees of Edward Waters College, conducted by the A. M.

REAL ESTATE MEN CALLED TO MEET IN CHICAGO Conference to Be Held During Session of the National Negro Business League for Perfecting Permanent Body. (Special to the Journal and Guide.) New York, Aug. 13.—(A. N. P.): Following a recent conference here with Dr. Robert R. Moton, President of the National Negro Business League, John E. Nail, of the Real Estate firm of Nail and Parker, announced that a conference of colored real estate men will be held in Chicago during the Silver Jubilee of the National Negro Business League, August 20, 21, 22, for the purpose of perfecting a permanent organization. "According to information, received from Monroe N. Work, Editor of the Negro Year Book, there are more than 1500 colored men and women engaged in the real estate business," said Mr. Nail. "We have many problems in common which can be solved through group conferences and discussions. A permanent organization offers in addition many opportunities for mutual service and benefit." Pen Observations J. A. JACKSON (For A. N. P.) The future of Negro journalism is quite safe, if we are to judge by the number of younsters whose work is being brought to our attention by their friends, and employers. One of the most promising of the lot, one with the advantages that comes from inheritance and environment is P. Bernard Young, J. A. JACKSON Jr., the seventeen year old son of the Norfolk Journal and Guide publisher. The "Kid" is in his senior year at Hampton Institute and is a prospective Columbia University student. A marked copy of the J. and G. indicating his work obliges the writer to state that he is either getting a whale of a salary for a boy, or "Dad" has a bargain in his son. He writes theatricals, dramatic reviews, sport stuff, funerals and does political re-write work with the facility of an old pencil pusher. The future of the J. and G. is insured, if that boy just keeps on as he is and doesn't get too good to heed the advice of his father. Another Promising Youth Another youth who surprises callers who often mistake him for an office boy is Joseph A. Clarke, the editor of the Columbus, Ga. Times, a sprightly new weekly that has made its appearance in the thriving Georgia city. The quality of the publication would prompt one to expect, at least, ahewiskered man of forty but you can't tell about these boys now- adays. They are smarter than "they used to was." Dropped into I. M. Lawsons Music Store on Seventh Ave., recently and heard the new Playmore record of the "Cincinnati Dream" his composition being ground out on the graphaphone. It was recorded by the Second Regiment Knights of Pythias Band of Columbus, Ohio, and it was the finest thing in the way of a brass band number that has ever come to our attention, and that is no reflection on the many others, for Colonel Johnson's boys are artists of the first rank. Dave Peyton's dream too is about to come true. On July 31, he arrived in New York in response to a series of wires from the Zeigfield offices beseaching him to come and do the music for the Broadway production. Dave has long been the greatest composer in the stock yard town, and his fame has been carried over the land by several musical comedies that he has written. Finally the big call came; and another Negro's name is going to be set in the firmament of theatricals before snow flies. Here's a nice sidelight on the jovial composer. With expenses provided for, and an invitation to stop at a big downtown hotel, he went directly from the depot to the Billboard office, and from there arranged to secure a --- NEGRO EDUCATION IN NORTH CAROLINA Itinerary of Cruise Place Arr.

FOX, in Southern Workman Of the wonderful era of progress in North Carolina during the past decade perhaps no element has been more marked than that of the development of the Negro race within the State. There can hardly be any question but that the total social and economic progress of the State has been decidedly influenced by the progress of the Negro race. In fact the development of the Negro has in a large measure made this possible. The development of the Negro as a race is undoubtedly due to im- proved educational facilities. In 1865, according to the best evidence obtainable, the total property value in North Carolina was approximately $127,000,000. According to the U. S. Census for 1920, Negroes in North Carolina own farm lands and farm property valued at approximately $125,000,000. Urban property owned by Negroes would carry this total beyond $200,000,000. Negroes today own more than 1,000,444 acres of land in the State. Much property in the hands of the whites would not equal its present value without the labor contributed by Negroes. It is also possible to conceive that if the Negroes were not here 1,000,000 acres of land and $200,000,000 of property would not be developed. MUCH CREDIT TO DR NEWBOLD In this remarkable development much credit must be given to Mr N. C. Newbold, Class of 1895 at Trinity College. His has been the leading part in building up a better relation between the races and in guiding the Negro to a more whole some civic and economic adjustment to the conditions in which he place to stop in New York where he would be among his own kindred spirits. Dave is a "regular fellow" without the least trace of the cad or snob in his make up. Between August first and tenth the U. S. Naval band from the Virgin Island, West Indies, played a series of fourteen engagements in New York City Parks. The band is under the direction of Alton B. Adams. The organization is touring the country with the permission of the Navy Department A Harlem newspaper man has been promoting the publicity. Jimmie Johnson and Cecil Mack (C. C. McPherson) have been engaged to write the music and lyrics for a Broadway white show that Will Morrisy will produce. The niece will be called "Watch out." Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials has to live and in bringing the whites to a better understanding of their duties and responsibilities with reference to their less fortunate neighbors. When called to be director of Negro education in the State in 1913, Mr. Newbold was the only person in this department. At the present time there are ten persons connected with the Division of Negro Education in the State Department of Education. The real foundation for the work for Negroes in the State was laid after the State Educational Survey was made in 1920. At that time Mr. Newbold outlined to the State Board of Education a plan for the organization of a Division of Negro Education. This plan was approved in the following session of the General Assembly and an appropriation of $15,000 was made to support the Division. Thus has been made possible an even greater expansion of the work for Negro education in the State. SOME ACHIEVEMENTS Some of the achievements of the past decade may be briefly listed but all the results accomplished are not readily stated in cold statistics. In 1913 there were approximately 2600 teachers in the Negro public schools of the State. Of this number about 500 held the old county first-grade certificate. All the others held either second or third-grade certificates. A large majority of these teachers had training below the level of the seventh grade. All three of the normal schools for Negroes were worth in property about $150,000. All three of them together received $10,000 a year for maintenance. There were practically no good buildings for Negroes in the cities or towns. Little could be expected of the Negro under the conditions and little actually was accomplished. Such were the conditions in 1913. After ten years of the guidance of this new leader in the work let us see what changes have been wrought. This year there are 3750 Negro teachers in the State. Of this total more than 2300 hold a good type of state certificate, representing a high-school education and above. Just a few more than 1200 of these teachers now hold a second or third-grade certificate which represents less than a high-school education. There are now four normal schools with a property value of approximately $1,500,000.

Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 14—(P. N. S.): In a passionate address before the local Rotarian club W. R. Satterfield declared, "The alluvial lands of the South need white people who have home building as their chief aim in life. There are no schools in our country teaching the younger generations to go back to the farms and earn a living with their own hands, therefore, the South must give her attention to the desirable white of Europe." In his address Mr. Satterfield told of the work of the Southern Alluvial Land Association had been doing in presenting the cause to the world. He said this association had been particularly successful providing a clause in the recent immigration act which will allow the South to select a reasonable number of desirable European immigrants. He pointed out the lack of interest the Negroes show in home-building and also the exodus of (Continued on page 11.) and towns at the rate of an expenditure of more than $1,000,000 a year. In the country districts they are building Negro schools at the rate of more than $5000,000 a year. CRIME REDUCED As a result of this expansion of Negro education crime has been reduced and disease checked. Among Negroes the death rate for tuberculosis has been cut in half. In 1911, the annual death rate for every 100,000 of Negro population was 391.4. By 1922 the death rate had been reduced to 169.6 for every 100,000 and of course this menace has been correspondingly removed from the door of the white man. At the close of the Civil War approximately 95 per cent of the Negroes were illiterate. Now in North Carolina only 24 per cent are illiterate and this percentage is being reduced annually. The next generation will mark a still further reduction of the work begun during the past decade is continued. (Continued on page 11.)

The last annual meeting which convened in Dallas, Texas, July 30 and 31 and August 1 closed the administration of President M. M. Bethume, and was probably the best meeting that the Association has known in all the 21 years of its organization. Mr. C. J. Calloway, of Tuskegee, Ala., who in 1923 was elected the first full time Executive Secretary, has more than justified the experiment on the part of the Association. He reported a larger membership and circulation of The Bulletin than in any previous year. The people of Texas and particularly of Dallas have set a high standard in their excellent entertainment of the teachers. North Carolina and Durham cannot afford to do less. Dr. S. G. Atkins, principal of the Slater State Normal School, and Dr. H. S. McCrory, President of Johnson C.

FARM BUREAU NEWS SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 VIRGINIA CROP REPORT FOR AUGUST Crop conditions in Virginia during July did not make any improvement as the first of the month was very wet and the last part too dry according to the Virginia Crop Reporting Service. One of the outstanding features of the August report is the large yields of hay crops such as timothy, clover, and orchard grass. In may sections the finest and largest hay crop on record has been saved in excellent condition as the weather was very favorable for curing hay. The dark side of the report is in regard to the corn crop which promises the smallest production since 1900. There has been a decrease in the forecast for cotton, peanuts, tobacco, and commercial apples, while an increase over the July forecast is indicated for wheat, oats, hay, and potatoes. The outlook for the corn crop is very poor in all sections except the Southwest, and even in that district the condition is not up to the average. The wet weather in the early summer retarded growth and prevented cultivation, while the recent dry weather has also been very injurious. In many sections the plants are twisting and yellowing. Rain is now badly needed in most parts of the State. The August 1 condition of 67 per cent indicates a production of 35,745,000 bushels compared with 53,563,000 bushels last year. The forecast for the United States it 2,576,000,000 bushels compared with 3,046,000,000 bushels last year, and 2,899,000,000 bushels the average for the five years 1918-1922. Wheat The wheat crop is turning out better than the average. Threshing has made favorable progress and while the greater part of the wheat crop has not been threshed, especially in the Southwest, carry reports indicate a yield of 13.1 bushels per acre compared with 13.3 bushels last year and 12.6 the ten year average. A total production of 9,628,000 bushels is indicated, while the crop last year was 11,145,000 bushels, and the five year average 1918-22 was 10,824,000 bushels. The increase in price has added considerably to the value of the Virginia crop. The average farm price on July 15 was $1.20 per bushel against $1.12 last year. The August forecast of all wheat for the United States is slightly larger than last year, being 814,000,000 bushels compared with 786,000,000 bushels last year and 881,000,000 bushels the average production for the five years, 1918-22. Tobacco There was a decline in the condition of tobacco during July owing to the unfavorable weather. The August first condition of 70 per cent indicates a production of 128, 826,000 pounds which compares with 150, 9000,000 pounds produced last year. Many fields of late tobacco will show rapid improvement with favorable growing season during the next three weeks. Hay Weather conditions during the past three weeks were exceedingly favorable for harvesting hay, and a large crop has been saved in excellent condition. In the Shenandoah Valley and the Southwest the crop is one of the largest ever harvested. The outlook for the late hay crops, such as cowpeas, soy beans, and millet, which are largely depended upon for feed in Central, Eastern, and Southern Virginia, is not promising as the dry weather has retarded growth, but these crops will respond quickly to favorable growing weather. However, the August 1 condition of 91 per cent is still above the average. Fruit crops still promise much better than average yields. There has been a decrease in the forecast for commercial apples due to the heavy drop during July in the Shenandoah Valley districts. The farm orchard crop is very good and practically all farms have abundant supplies for home use. Owing to the recent dry weather peaches are not as large as had been expected, but the production is much greater than usual due to the heavy set. Commercial orchards are beginning to shop the early varieties. The production of grapes, pears, and blackberries is also much above the average. The crop is very poor owing to the unfavorable growing conditions, and the yield of watermelons and cantaloupes will be considerably less than usual. Peanuts The outlook for peanuts is still uncertain, and weather conditions during the past next four weeks will determine the final estimate. While the August condition is poor, most of the crop was well worked during the past three weeks, and will now make considerable improvement with a favorable growing season. The August 1 condition of 65 per cent indicates a production of 78,546,000 pounds compared with 122,760,000 pounds last year. Cotton The Virginia cotton crop has the very low condition of 51 per cent, which is the poorest outlook that cotton has had in this State in many years. The recent dry weather permitted more thorough cultivation, and while the plants are small and growth is still the possibility of considerable improvement. Other Crops The condition of other crops on August 1 compared with the ten year average in parenthesis is as follows: Oats 89 (83); Barley 87 (88); Buckwheat 90 (90); White Potatoes 90 (84); Sweet Potatoes 77 (88); Tebacco 70 (81); Alfalfa 87 (89); Peaches 80 (49); Grapes 83 (76); Pears 73 (43); Berries 88 (81); Melons 60 (77); and Sorghum 80 (88).

Great Evangelist Meeting Marks Ground Breaking Suffolk, Val., Aug. 13.—Never before has such a religious spirit of unity and co-operation been shown in Evaelism in the city of Suffolk, as during the month of July. On the Fourth of July, Rev. T. J. Johnson, pastor of Pine Street Baptist Church erected a tent on the lot purchased by his congregation, and after an inspiring sermon preached by Rev. C P. Madison, broke ground for the new church edifice. Immediately an evangelistic campaign was launched, assisted by Rev, C. P. Madison, of Second Calvary Baptist Church and Madam Wright Jackson. Madam Jackson supported by the Pine Street Baptist Choir sent out appeals for members of the choirs of sister churches in the city to form one great choir. Thru the untiring efforts of Mr. Thomas Black and Mrs. Virginia Crocker every choir was canvassed and was represented during these meetings. The following ministers and their congregations rendered invaluable aid in these meetings: Revs. W. A. Cobb, D. D., Union Baptist; J. H. Ricks, Forest St.; A. Boone, D. D., Tyne St., Dr. Alexander, Allen Temple A M. E.; J. H. Ashby, President Church Union; Powell, President Ministers' Conference; Roebuck, Macedonia A. M. E.; Pope, Christian Church; M. N. Zollicoffer, Canaan Baptist; Alexander, Mt. Sanai, Holland, Va.; Smith Orlanda Baptist; Rector J. J. Posey. St. Mark's; Savage, Saratoga; F. Finner, Palm Tree, Wm. Bridgeford, Little Zion; Benton Harrell, Methodist, Pleasant Hill; J. Goodman, J. Edwards, Strickland, T. D. Jones, Cherry Baker, Darden. The visiting ministers were Rev. W. R. Ashburn, D. D., of New York, who preached several nights and Rev. D. Over, M. A., representing the National Baptist Convention, who also spoke, and Proph et Jones, of New York. Too much praise cannot be given the churches who gave their moral and financial support for there is not a church in town which did not contribute in some measure to the success of the meeting. Now that the court has paid over to the Pine Street Baptist Church the sum of money in litigation, together with special sums raised by the congregation for building purposes, they will begin immediate operations in the erection of their new church. Sunday morning, Rev. T. J. Johnson preached a very able sermon from the subject, "What is your Life." Sunday afternoon, Rev. C. P. Madison, preached the closing sermon of the meeting, using as a subject, "Be ye steadfast in purpose." Sunday night the tent was filled. A sacred program was rendered. Some of the participants were: Mrs. McGregor, who delivered an address urging men and women to heed the Christian call for workers; Mr. Thomas Black and Mrs. Myra Boykins sang a duet. A very excellent paper was read by Miss Maggie Goodman on the theme, "What Is Your Aim In Life." Mrs. Annie May Hunter gave a fine selection in reading, and Mrs. Annie Vick read a cultural and instructive paper on, "Counteracting Evil Influences Among Young People." These were interspersed by a solo, Miss Flossie Hill and jubilee songs. Rev. White of Trenton, N. J., was introduced and delivered a fine address. (Continued from Page Seven) During the past ten years the attitude of official North Carolina has been considerably changed in regard to the question of Negro education. This change has been wrought largely through the work of N. C. Newbold. He has been untiring and patient, constantly working away at the facts and presenting the problems facing the commonwealth, never losing his temper or resorting to political subterfuge to carry through a cherished plan. He has come to be recognized as one who understands the question of relationship of the two races in the State and his voice is now received as one having authority. It has been through his efforts that many conferences, state wide, county wide, and local, have been held in which the leaders of both races have come together for the discussion of matters affecting the interests of both races. Such conferences held in the spirit of co-operation have been the one factor which has done so much to bring about a better understanding between the races. It is in such conferences that the solutions of the vexatious race problems may be worked out at least partially. The underlying policies of the Division of Negro Education under the leadership of Mr. Newbold have been established on a firm and permanent basis. It is in his belief that the best solution of the whole matter is to go straight to the people through their constitu- Boys Stage Battle In Reformatory Rahway, N. J., Aug. 13.—(A. N. P.): The net result of a fight which followed a quarrel between a white boy and a colored boy in the reformatory here, was three boys shot, one probably fatally, and a guard injured. It was necessary to call the guards and police reserves from this city and Wood-bridge to quell the riot.

The people of North Carolina when in full possession of the facts will demonstrate what fair and square treatment of a minority group will mean to itself and to the outside world. It is the conviction of this department that no permanent progress can be made in any State unless all the elements of the population are fairly content, educated, and properly trained for their station in life. This conviction forms the basic element of the departmental policy and has been the means of gaining so much progress up to date. There are many agencies co-operating with the Division of Negro Education to carry forward the work. The most important of these are the General Education Board, the Slater Fund, the Rosenwald Fund, and the Jeanes Fund. These agencies contribute annually more than $150,000 to the furthering of Negro education in the State.

What the answer will be -finally remains to be seen. It looks as if the Germans and French will settle their differences at last, by Ger- ‘many’s promise to pay and France’s promise to withdraw her troops and interference in the domestic affairs of Germany. It is high time that this should be done, in fairness to all Ba Former Governor J, C.

They have had two women in Congress, one from Oklahoma and one from Illinois, but at this time they are without representation in Con i pe a ces ieee: Hae ney, * The women of the United States who have been accorded equal cuffrage with men, have forged ahead wonderfully in getting recogni- tion from the two leading parties. They have had two women in Congress, one from Oklahoma and one from Illinois, but at this time they are without representation in Con- gress. It stands to reason, however, that hav- ing made an opening they will not allow it to close up but will keep it open and widen it as they go along. Afro-Americans now have two women members of the Republican Na- tional Committee—Mrs. Williams of Georgia and Mrs. Booze of Mississippi—and that is piuch gain, In smaller party representation our women have raade some substantial gains in the several states, and promise to keep on coming. © ‘Phe influence which women will have in the voting in November is an unknown quantity and has all of the party managers guessing. As a matter of fact, women have not shown as general disposition to register and vote as men, but they may grow into the habit. ‘Until they do party managers will have simply to guess at woman’s influence in the voting. *. Mrs. Maridm Ferguson of Texas, has done a very wonderful thing in politics. Her hus- band was impeached as Governor of Texas and proscribed from holding office again. His wife went into the Democratic primaries and won the right of “the run off;” that is, there are two highest on the list who will go into another primary to see which shall be the candidate for Governor. She occupies the second place, and is the enti-klan candidate, and the guess is that she will beat her com. pétitor and go before the people as the regular party nominee. If she does, and the chances are in her favor, as most of those who voted for other candidates in the first primary are eounted on to vote for her in “the run off, hier election as Governor of Texas, and the first woman Governor in the country, will be a sure thing. Mrs. Ferguson's courage and Stiecess have given the woman in polities a dis: tinct boost, and if she should get the Govern. orship it may arouse the women of the country ‘to a more active interest in party affairs. It ig wonderful-how many people do not “qualify and vote. They have the right to s :voice in selecting the people who shall make cand administer their'laws, but too many neg “lect to take advantage ,of it. If the privilege Ewere denied them they would spend all of thei “time and energy in trying to secure the privi age. More than half of the white and almos Fall of the Black ‘and colored people of th ‘Southern States, from one cause and another Tpegleet to qualify and vote. ‘They are at th Figerey of the few who make it their busines “Ho.do so and ‘who profit by so doing as offic “fiolders-and in the making of laws that favo ‘Hem and the special interests they have whict {xe affected in one way and another by pol “tical control and administration, Race Rights as Construed by the Federal Supreme Court RRR NT ee Mr eee Court has taken on our civil, political and eco- Homie rights, before,and after the Civil War. What the Congress may deem to be sound law and so enact is one thing; what the Supreme Court may decide as to such law is another thing, and there is no appeal from the opinion of the Supreme Court as to the status of any Taw enacted by Congress. It is the court of last resort, not the Congress as it is in the case of the British Parliament,.to which final ‘appeal is always open, as we understand it. | Tt is a race misfortune that many of its most intelligent leaders, many of them law- vers and the great mass of the race, do not Appear to understand the Constitution of the United States when they read it, or when it is read to them. That is the attitude of the registration judges in Mississippi, where abil- ity to read the Constitution, or understand it when read to a citizen, is made a crucial ques- tion, usually answered against the Afro-Amer- ie citizen, They rush to Congress or to the President or to a National Convention, de- manding this and that as a cure all in legis- lation, or enforcement of existing legislation, without any reference to what the Constitu- Ition guarantees and what the Federal Su- preme Court has decided we are entitled to, and oe is mighty little, as far as the Federal | Gavernment is concerned, the questions raised Ibeing mostly within the jurisdiction of the | States and outside the jurisdiction of the Fed- eral jurisdiction. The ninth and tenth articles ‘of the Federal Constitution read as follows: “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. “The powers not’ delegated to the ‘United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are re- served to the States respectively, or to the people.” What these rights reserved to the States are any one can find out by reading the Con- stitution, or the decisions of the Supreme Court. In the New York World of Sunday, July 27, Mr, Rowland Thomas has an inform- ing article on this question, in which he states that the Supreme Court has voided only forty- eights acts of Congress in the last 135 years. The second case came fifty-four years after the first, and involved the Missouri Compro- mise act of 1820, which was declared void be- cause it prohibited the holding of slave prop- orty north of a certain line while granting the right to others. It was the famous Dred Scott case, in which Justice Tarley delivered the ornien that “it is held to be good law and public opinion that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect. The thirteenth decision came up on the act of 1870, and turned upon the right to receive ‘and count the vote of a citizen. The Court held that the Fifteenth amendment did not confer the right of suffrage on any one, but simply prevented the United States, from giv- ing preference to one citizen over another. ‘The seventeenth decision dealt with the Sum- ner Civil Rights act of 1875, which was de- clared void because the 13th and 14th amend- ments “only prohibit the passing of discrimi- nary acts against members of the Negro race and hold no warrant for penal enactments directed against the discriminatory. acts of private persons or corporations.” The Ku Klux Klan act of 1875 was de- clared void in 1883, the Court holding there was no warrant for the enactment of this penal statute, and that its acceptance “would invest Congress with power over the whole cat- alog of crimes which properly fall under the jurisdiction of the local police power.” In 1918 the Court further defined its posi- tion on the Civil Rights act, placing the whole body of civil rights within the jurisdiction of the States and outside that of the United States. How far a Federal Anti-Lynching law would meet the requirements of the Federal Supreme Court it should not be difficult to determine, in the light of its Opinion on the Ku Klux Klan act. Dean William Pickens, in his release, “Onto Persia,” in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of August 2, shows his ignorance when he wails that we can demand redress of Persia for murdering our acting Consul, when |we have no right to do so, while allowing of all sorts of lawlessness in Georgia, where we i ee ‘Federal Government and not to the State of which he is a citizen. We should contend ail of the time for our just rights, but we should know what those rights are and to what authority to appeal in order to get. them. Coolidge Strikes At Race Intolerance President Coolidge takes high ground on the American question of race intolerance when he replies, “I am amazed at such a let- ter” to the one sent him by a Mr. Gardner, of Fort Hamilton, N. ¥., suggesting that the President bring influence to bear to squelch the candidacy of a colored man for congress- man from New York City. His letter to the supposed American Yan- kee rings truly characteristic of New Eng- land’s loftiest traditions on the issues of race, religion and Americanism, and reveals a re- freshing harkening back to the principles upon which this nation was founded. It brings to the fore at once, and with a velhemence what centuries of a Puritan's sacred guardianship of true American liberty has imbedded into the sturdy character of the “silent man” in the White House, “Liberty” was the urge that brought the Pilgrim Fathers to Plymouth Rock and more than once since that primitive landing the progency of those fathers have unsheathed the sword and drawn blood to maintain that “Liberty” free and untrammeled, and to ex: tend to all men of this nation its glorious jbeneficence. Presiilent Coolidge fis of that stock, Race and religious bigotry should be and eis to him repugnant. His ancestry shed its blood and died to drive the vicious ‘thing to cover, and the President in his letter to the Now Yorker seized the opportunity to deal it a body blow. “The growing race problem,” which Mr. Gardner views with apparent alarm, grows in ‘proportion as such Americans as he, who ‘would deny to other good Americans the liber- ties, rights and immunities vouchsafed all ‘Americans under the Constitution, suecced in spreading their vicious propaganda, Nothing tends to create a more sober sen- timent on race and class issues than an out- ‘spoken attitude of the President, the titular ‘head of the nation, seotehing the demon of in- tolerance, There are thousands who will fail to see eye to an eye with him, but few are the intelligent Americans who will fail to appre- ciate the righteousness of his stand. President Coolidge pointedly informs Mr. Gardner that he intends to administer the Constitution as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race. This much is demanded of him. He has shown that he has the courage to measure up to the de- ‘mand, and so long as he does, the confidence of that vast body of right thinking Americans will bulwark him in every stress. Why Do We Hesitate Newspapers generally are communit, boosters. They are ever alert for worthwhil things and events with which to commen their city to the outside world.

It is good ad- vertising, and nobody realizes more the great value of judicious advertising than a news- paper—itself the best advertising medium in existence. Nevertheless, a journal that would fail to constructively criticise the evils of its own com- munity, regardless of how unpleasant the task, would be reereant to its duty and deserving of the censure of its constituency. And there does exist among our geoup ‘in Norfolk an unsavory attitude, a peculiar psy- chological complex that reacts greatly in re- tardation of our economic progress. Somehow and from somewhere there has settled upon us an inertia, a lethargy relative to our busi- ness expansion. There is not evident here among our group the fire of enthusiasm, co- operation, go-get-it, faith to do or die that beget appreciable business progress. Along this line our advancement has assumed a snail-like pace; in fact, we are merely drift. ing and drift is subject to the whims and ca- prices of every guff of wind or changing tide. Drifting business fares no better. The first freak of the economic tides is likely to send it back to its starting point. The no-money wail is more imaginary than real. The truth of the matter. is there are few enterprises here that are really out, heart and soul, after new business. Race business men in Norfolk, who are growing bald headed devising new plans, methods and resorting tc ample publicity to grow bigger in business are ay scarce as the proverbial “hen’s teeth.” ‘The spirit of go-getit, hustle and bustle is just as essential to the success of a small as toa large business, and it should be the am. dition of every little enterprise to eventually merge into the big class. Employment is good here; wages are not the lowest on the south Atlantic seaboard; our percentage of literacy is high; our city is lo- ‘cated most advantageously from a commercial viewpoint, then why the hesitancy in business expansion, why the lack of organizing the brains and abilities of the younger men for 2 try into new fields? In short the big WHY is why do we hesitate? . REVIEW And COMMENT a In another column on this page there is a releuse upder the caption, “The Negro and Applied Industries,” by Mr. Daniel W. Chase for the Asso- ciated Negro Press, What is said under that eaption speaks for itself and it speaks in thunderous tones of truth. It presents a question that should seriously engage the attention of parents, preachers, teachers and leaders. Mr. Chase deals with the “white collar” problem that has been crowding itself into our racial complex alarmingly for the past two or three gen- erations. As a race we are fos- tering a tendency to get away from manuel labor, even that part of it which is classed as skill and has a very high re- munerative value. Uncon- sciously and consciously our children at a very carly age are being inculeated with the idea that success is wrapped up in a “white collar” job, a profession, such as a lawyer, doctor, teacher or preacher. Ask any little boy of our race in the presence of his loving -parents what he wants to be ‘when he is grown-up, and be- fore he has an opportunity to speak, mother will invariably answer, lawyer, doctor of preacher. Even if the little boy should answer that he wanted to be a carpenter or electrician, mother would be likely to say, no, no. Tt is the trend of things among us, and it is not a healthy trend for our racial welfare. Our professional group'will find it impossible to make’a living unless we have well trained and well paid workers among the masses, Moreover, we must have build- ers, builders of material things; farmers and trained artisans filling every endeavor known to man. It is extreme- ly doubtful whether our race has anything to gain thru the great migration of our farm- ers and land owners from the South. Land owners are the very backbone of the economic structure of any race group, and when ownership on a farm is bartered for rontaiship in an industrial center our economie fabric is weakened. True we may gain politically by the migration, but in the final analysis all material progress The Negro and the Applied Industries By DANIEL W, CHASE For the Associated Negro Press ‘The public school curriculum provides a very liberal amount of industrial training for boys and girls. For boys, it pro- vides training in such indus- rtial subjects as handweaving, gardening, woodworking, iron- working, furniture making, shoemaking, ete. For the girls, the public school curriculum provides training in such sub- jects as sewing, cooking, house- keeping, handweaving, 100 m- weaving, embroidery, lace mak- ing, ete. Notwithstanding all the money that is expended for training along the lines of ap- plied industry, it ean be safe- ly said that the vast majority ‘of the colored population do not as yet take kindly to the industrial field as such. By this is meant those boys und girls of our group who can afford college training. There seems to be a growing ten- dency to seek higher education in the fields of medicine and surgery, law, teaching and a few for the ministry while so- cial service and recreation ac- tivities lay claim to others. ‘This would not mean much to us if the vast majority of the workers among us were trained. Every year some forty take their places in our economic. life. In view of the fact that the old system of ap- prenticeship to the skilled trades and crafts has practi- cally broken down, this means that the great number that formerly were at work gaining a knowledge of the skilled crafts so vital to our economic progress has been lessened to an appreciable extent. If this is based first and everlastingly upon material holdings. eT Se ec Mr, Hubert Harrison, of New York, brilliant scholar and lecturer, whose work on the lecture ficld under aus- pices of the New York Board ot Education is recognized as outstanding, appears to be in search of new. thrills. Out of his virile mind has come a colonization iden for the Amer- iean Negroes, if he is correctly quoted. Mr. Harrison's idea is not original, Tt has been advanced many times before, by both white and colored peo- ple of prominence. His scheme we learn, is for a separate Ne- sro State in the United States. It-is in direct opposition to Garvey's ‘African scheme, but nat more feasible nor sensible. Nobody talks or thinks about an Trish, Jew, Italian or Chinese State in the United States, Our brilliant men néed to apply their talents toward se- curing for the masses those rights and immunities guaran- teed them under the Constitu- tion as equal American citi- zens, and forget'the separate Biate bowues.. Our Business Program Our business enterprises: have increased from 20,000 in 1900 to 60,000 in 1924, states Dr. R. R, Molton, This is a great gain, but the surface is only seratched. Let's put our shoulders to the wheel and make it 200,000 during the next quarter-century. As Merchants and traders, we are coming, in spite of the handi- cap of centuries as servitors. Recently a going race bus- iness concern in the South wrote to several schools and colleges offering business courses, including Howard University, stating that the services of @ young man, or a few young men, were needed in that business. Unusual op- portunities for advancement were held out for those willing to begin at the bottom and work up. Not a single school written to was able to put the manager of the concern in touch with young Negro men ambitious to work up in busi- ness, We cannot have going and successful business enter- -prises if our young men decline the opportunities to begin at the bottom and learn the game Yes, we have made fine progress in the past 25 years, as Dr. Moton points out. But with the rivalry and competi- tion pregnant in modern bus- iness, a business foundation is necessary for success, More young men and women of the race are needed in the busi- ness world, had not broken down, we would today find large num- bers of our boys and girls working, learning the trades. The vast number leaving school find themselves thrown out into the world without adequate training. They can- not carn a livelihood. They are foreed to “pick up” an oc- cupation werever they can pos- sibly get it. Some succeed but far too many fail through no fault of their own and are doomed to a life time of drud- gery at an occupation for which they are in no way fit- fed, Industry and the com- munity as well as the individ~ ual pay the penalty for these untrained workers. * ‘The untrained worker is mi- gratory. He is a bird of pas- sage, lighting only for a time, perhaps only Jong enough to supply his temporary needs. He is a ‘square peg’ which is always seeking in vain for the square hole in which to fit himself. He is reckoned with larger perhaps than he ought to be in that incubus of indus- try, labor turnover. Recently an American inves- tigator made a survey of cor ditions in the African Repub- lic of Liberia, which would _prove that conditions seem to be world wide. It may be that Negroes, having been the slaves of mean, hard labor, with little recompense for so many generations, have formed a strong dislike for labor. Li- beria was founded soon after the Civil War. Its pioneers were American Negroes who had served in that war. To- day that Republic which be WHATNOT COLUMN 146. What remarkable progress was made by the Col- ored Y. W. C. A, within ten years? That the Colored Young Women’s Christian Association has made a more rapid ad- vancement than any other or- ganization of similar nature is a remarkable fact; when it is considered that in 1912 it had but one city and one student secretary on the na- tional board and ten years lat- er, (1922) it had eleven Na- tional Secretaries, 108 workers in seven centers with fifty- seven branches and 7,000 young colored girls registered ‘as members. Ninety thousand women and girls have been reached in various ways dur- ing a period of ten years. 147. What was the Jerry McHenry ineident? In the summer ‘of 1851, a colored man, by name Jerry McHenry was arrested under the Fugitive Slave law on com- plaint of a Missouri slave hold- er. McHenry mad an attempt to escape but failed. On the evening of October 1, a descent was made upon the jail by a party led by Gerrit Smith and Rev. Safuel I, May, both well known abolitionists, rescued Me- Henry, concealed him, and fin- ally, sent him into Canada, gan life so vigorously and so energetically two generations ago, is declining toward utter ruin, For its founders at- tacked the rude face of nature with courage and energy. The investigator states that he has been informed that the labor of the pioneers is almost in ruins. “The reason for the decay.” writes the investigator, “is found in the occupaton of the descendents. They are law- yers, preachers, small traders, clerks, and politicians. Their fathers who drained the swamps, fought fevers, cleared the jungles and prospered, wanted their sons to be ‘gentle- men’ and made no provision for carrying on the work of the pioneers.” Of course, it is very well understood that America is not Liberia. But thinking men and womten, who have to do with the training of our youth will be able to Jearn a lesson. It is regret table that that acquiring of the ‘white collar’ habit and the mastering of the professions is the acceptable term for ‘gen- telmen’ and spells SUCCESS, and the belief prevails on this side with a very large number that agriculture or manual la- bor of any kind is the function only of savages. It is a lesson that has been blazoned in dismal letters a- evoss the corridors of history since the beginning of time, and it reads thus, brains with- out brawn cannot make and maintain a great people. It is high time, then, for the Negro everywhere to take a standing broad jump out of his racial surrounding and conditions, and associations, and prove the truth which history has time after time revealed, that a race of only thinkers cannot survive, that the thinkers must be balanced by the doers. In Virginia about 1725 the mas- ters with some exceptions fav- ored instruction for slaves, and the missionaries embraced the op- portunity to instruct them, But the introduction of the cotton gin in 1793 and the rise of the slave power to supremacy from 1820 0 1860 condemned the bondman to ignorance and provoked general jealousy of Christian influence. In 1520 a Spanish staver visited South Carolina; in 1526 another Spaniard brought Negro slaves in- to Virginia; and forty years later Florida received the bane of two races, In 1619 a Dutch slave- ‘trader imported a cargo of Ne- groes into the Old Dominion State selling them at Jamestown. Next year the Pilgrims landed at Ply- mouth, and an irrepressible con- flict of ideas began. It was nut until about 1670 that Negro slav- ery gained firm footing in this country. Though black freedmen and white advocates of abolition were never unknown in the South; though Negro slaves and saxon where he died in Kingston, On. tario, in 1853. 148, Who was Richard Allen? Richad Allen who wae the founder of the African Metho. dist Episcopal Church, hegan his ministerial career when at the age of seventeen years, and s0 impressed his master with his eloquence that he allowed the youth to preach to him and finally became one uf his fitst converts, giving Allen his freedom in recoynition of that fact. Young Allen was or. dained a deacon in the Meth. odist church in 1779 by Rev, Francis Asbury, but on ac- count of prejudice and discrim. ination, withdrew from that organization, and founded bis ‘own church, which he tater he. came the first Bishop. He was also influential in organ- izing the Ist epnvention of Colored people of the United States held in Philadelphia in 1830, and a general leader of his people regardless of creed.

Bruce? defenders of slavery existed in the North, the South was chained to slavery, the North allied with free. dom. From 1620 to 1855 the principles of two opposing civili- zations wrestled for the possession of a virgin continent. Emaneipation occurred in tie re- sin British colonies, in Por- tuguese and in Spanish America after slavery had existed there for ‘centuries; but the United State: required only eighty-four years of independence to rid itself of the inheritance of iniquity by Eurape. | In Florida a planter once sup- ported a “Morvan” missionary de- tailed for labor among slaves.
