LETTER READ BEFORE BUSINESS LEAGUE MEET
(Special to the Journal and Guide.)
Washington, D. C., Aug. 21
—Economic emancipation is being splendidly wrought out by the colored people for themselves and their full political rights will be won thru the inevitable logic of their position and rightfulness of their claims. This is the belief of President Coolidge as expressed in a letter to Robert R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League.
The communication of the President was sent on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee and twenty-fifth annual session of the Business League, which is being held in Chicago, Illinois, August 20, 21 and 22.
FELICITATIONS
After felicitating the organization and extending good wishes, he paid tribute to the late Booker T. Washington, who founded the League. He commended the economic advancement of the race and reiterated his statement with regard to the political rights of Negroes that was contained in a letter a few days ago to a citizen of New York who sought to enlist his influence against a colored candidate for a Congressional nomination.
The letter was written under date of August 14, just before the President left on his vacation. Its full text is as follows:
"The approach annual convention of the National Negro Business League is of particular interest and note because it will mark the quarter centennial of this organization. In addressing to you for the convention, my felicitations and good wishes on this occasion, I wish particularly to pay tribute to the League's founder and your distinguished predecessor, the late Booker T. Washington. His vision of the problems of the colored people was indeed that of a seer, and your League is one of the monuments to his life work.
MATERIAL PROGRESS
"Only a few weeks ago I had the pleasure, at the commencement of Howard University, of reviewing briefly and inadequately the material independence and the as of the colored people. I shall not now recapitulate what was then said, but I wish to tell you of the deep impression that was made upon me by my studies of the Negro race's achievements. In the accumulation of wealth, establishment of material independent and the assumption of a full and honorable part in the economic life of the Nation, it may fairly be said that the colored people themselves have already substantially solved these phases of their problem.
"If they will go forward along the lines of their progress in recent decades, and under such leadership as your own and many others their excellent organizations are affording, their future would be well cared for. That they will continue in this way of advancement cannot be doubted by any who knows their accomplishments heretofore. They will continue their efforts for educational progress and spiritual betterment; and just as they demonstrate their eagerness for such improvement, they will find themselves enjoying a constantly greater and greater support and sympathy at the hands of the whole community.

HIGH LIGHTS IN PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S
MESSAGE TO NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE
"In the accumulation of wealth, establishment of material independence and the assumption of a full and honorable part in the economic life of the Nation, it may be fairly said that the colored people themselves have already substantially solved these phases of their problem.
"That they will continue in this way of advancement cannot be doubted by any one who knows their accomplishments heretofore.
"As to the political status and future of the colored people, I cannot better present my views than by quoting from a letter which I wrote a few days ago to a correspondent who sought to enlist my influence against having a colored man become candidate for Congressional nomination.
"I stand on that statement and believe it marks the line along which colored people will advance to the full establishment of their political status."
Fugitive Slips Mysteriously From Officers
Newark, N. J., Aug.20—(A. N. P.)—When it was learned that William Davis had run down and killed a pedestrain and his son, the police of three communities were notified and put on the watch. Detectives were sent immediately to his house and stationed in the front and rear. His landlord did not discover until the next morning that the house was guarded. When she was questioned next morning by the detectives who had kept an all-night vigil, she explained that Davis had come in during the night, packed his clothes and left. She was sure about it because he occupied the room next to hers. The officers of the law find themselves unable to explain the coming and going of their invisible prey.
UNION LABORERS' BANK CLOSES DOORS
Inability to Earn Sufficient Funds for Operating Expenses Brings End.
(Special to the Journal and Guide.)
Washington, D. C., Aug. 21.—Inability to earn sufficient return upon the money invested is given as the cause of the failure of the Union Laborers Savings Bank, located at 14th and T Streets, North-
Failed to Open
The bank failed to open its doors for business Monday morning. Its failure had been close at hand for some time. During the latter part of the week it became unable to pay off. Depositors were told on Saturday to return Monday morning, if they wished to withdraw their accounts.
On Monday morning when they approached the bank, they saw a sign on the door advising them that the bank was closed until after September 15 and for further information inquire at the office of Attorney B. L. Gaskins. At his office they were handed a notice signed by him, which told them—
"I have been consulted by several of the trustees of the Union Labor Savings' Bank, who have been informed that its business was being run at a loss and that its liabilities exceeded its assets. I have advised them that the proper thing to do is to close the bank and call a share holders' meeting to determine what steps shall be taken."
Reculiarly Operated
The Union Laborers Savings Bank was a peculiarly operated concern. It was run under a "common law declaration of trust" and was not subject to the Federal banking laws. The Government exercised no supervision over it whatever. It was purely a private business.
The general opinion is that there has been no misappropriation of funds or any irregularity in the conduct of the bank. It simply proved to be a profitless venture. James W. H. Howard was the president of it.
Anti-Lynch Placards Cause Stir In London
New York, August 20—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has received a letter from Percy E. Hurst of the Law Reform Association in London, England, telling of the stir created during the recent visit there of the American Bar Association, by the N. A. A. C. P. Anti-Lynching placards displayed by sandwichmen who paraded up and down the main streets.
So marked was the effect of the posters that an "unseen hand" had the sandwichmen relegated to side streets, writes Mr. Hurst, saying:
"I think it has been a very successful display as it has attracted widespread attention from our own public and from your lawyers, but there has undoubtedly been an unseen hand at work to nullify if possible the efforts that have been made. This has been noticeable from the fact that after the sandwichmen had paraded for several days past the hotels where the lawyers mostly put up, the police made these men stand by in side streets for which act there was no possible excuse. Furthermore, practically all comment has been kept out of the British press as to the demonstration made. This is no doubt due to almost all the editors of the London papers being lawyers, and it is therefore easy to understand the desire to suppress all agitation for strengthening the law and ending its abuses."
The N. A. A. C. P. is still receiving letters as a result of these placards, asking for the facts a bout lynching.
Promised Job; Steels Pay Envelope
Charles Robinson, 537 Church street, reported to the police this week that he had been robbed of his pay envelope containing $30.00 by a colored man about 24 years of age who lured him off under pretense of securing him a good job. Robinson said the man approached him with the job proposition on the street and when he evinced interest, he was escorted to a telephone where they called a number, ostensibly that of the prospective employer. He then told Robinson to talk with the man on the other end of the wire, a supposedly Mr. Woodhouse. While Robinson was conversing about the job the other man switched envelopes on him taking the one containing the money and placing an envelope containing paper in its place. The alleged film flammer has not been arrested.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY $ _{1} $ AUGUST 23, 1924
SONS OF NORFOLK TOLD TO "AIM HIGH" BY MAYOR
Welcome Address Holds Audience In Rapt Attention As Mr. Roper Explains Fundamentals of Life's Success.
CROWD JAMS INTO
The Sons of Norfolk re-union got a start Sunday night when a brief welcome sermon was delivered at the First Baptist Church by Rev. Richard H. Bowling, himself a Norfolk-born and a member of the organization and the welcome address was delivered by Mayor Albert L. Roper, to a crowd that packed the auditorium of the church to the doors, occupying all available space even in the isles. A large delegation of Sons and Daughters, coming from several northern cities on trains and boats entering the city Saturday and Sunday morning assembled at the initial session Sunday night, but the majority of the crowd on hand was made up of home folks.
Attorney Walter H. Land, master of ceremonies, delivered an frequent address in introducing the Mayor in which he recounted many good things done and improvements made in the colored section of Norfolk by the present City administration. For these he expressed the gratefulness of the people. Realizing that the welcome address to be delivered by Mr. Roper was the principal feature of the evening, Rev. Bowling consumed only a few minutes in preaching an able sermon.
Mayor's Address
The mayor's address was a most unusual one. He declared in his opening remarks that the new school buildings and the miles of street paving provided in recent years by the city government were not regarded as favors conferred but as the granting of things justly due. He also paid glowing tributes to Mr. Walter Smith, a personal friend of every member of the city administration, and to the city pastors, the leaders of the various movements for uplift, and to the colored population in general.
Conditions of Success
Continuing he declared, "For success in organization-building, city-building, or nation-building, there must be first all a vision. Some one standing in the lead must be able to envisage an ideal and a goal worthwhile. No towering building, beautiful and harmonious in all its parts, can be built without a plan. So no human group can achieve its best without noble ideals toward which to aim.
"But plans for buildings do not come just so, and they are not the result of the ideas of all the several workers on the building. An architect is necessary. So in human relationships, there must be gifted leaders who point the way, who are blessed with secrecy. One of the lessons which humanity has repeatedly to learn is that worthy leadership must be respected and followed.
Serving the Ranks
"Let no humble toiler in the ranks despair, however, thinking that there is nothing important that he can do. We can not all be leaders, but our leaders cannot lead without a following. The noted artist paints those wondrous frescoes on the walls that do not do so, unless some humble hod-carrier had toloslomely borne his frequent burden of brick and mortar and plaster. I say to you that no group of leaders however brilliant, can make for you a worthwhile organization or for our city a place in the front ranks of municipalities, unless each constituent member and citizen bears his part and lends his loyalty." The audience plainly manifested pleasure at listening to the Mayor and expressions after the meeting were profuse with praise of the speech. Many in the church were pleasantly surprised that the speaker gave the audience such a commendable portion of his time in delivering a talk, apparently (Continued on Page Five)

Employee Saved Huge Payroll of Steel Company
Chicago, Ill., Aug. 20—(A, N, P.)—In a recent article concerning the worker's partnership and responsibility in industry, published in the World's Work, Judge Elbert Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, pays tribute to the colored escort of the company cashier who, after the cashier had been shot and killed by one of three robbers, drew his pistol, killed one of the highwaymen, incapacitated the others and saved the corporation's payroll.
Mr. Gary writes: "That colored man had more than saved the company's money. He had staked his life. Nobody could have blamed him for running. But he didn't. Today he carries an angued gold watch of which he is prouder than of his birtlehr. He carries other things besides. He knows that he will never want for anything."
Man Cuts Wrong Weeds; Is Fined
Williamsport, Pa., Aug. 29—(A. N. P.)—John Hall, who owns a vacant lot in an undeveloped plot was hailed into police court to answer to a charge of failure to cut the weeds on the lot after directed by the police to do so in conformance with a sanitary ordinance.
Quite indignantly he explained that he had spent four hours in a bolting hot sun with a scythe cutting the unsanitary weeds and demanded that a policeman accompany him to the lot to prove his assertion. When the lot owner and officer reached the scene they discovered he had mowed the weeds on an adjoining lot. His property was untouched. He was compelled to pay the costs in the case for his mistake.
Property Reported To Police As Stolen
Mrs. Catherine Greenhill, 1837 Chapel street, who operates the Olney Cleaning and Pressing establishment, Olney Road near Church street, reports this week stolen a ladies' coat with fur collar and cuffs, left at her place of business Wednesday.

West Virginia To Build Home For Orphans
Huntington, W. Va., Aug 22—(P. N. S.)—An industrial home for orphaned Negro girls, costing $100,000 is to be built here, according to plans of the state board of control made known here Thursday. The building will be erected near the new colored orphan boys home and will be similar to the institution as the one at Salem for white girls, it was stated. Funds for the erection of the building was appropriated by the legislature at the 1921 session.
PLEADS FOR WOMAN WHO STABBED HIM
Tells Detective That He Loves Her Too Well To Desire Having Her Punished.
Hughes Poyner, 720 East Brambleton avenue, was carried to St. Vincent's hospital Wednesday afternoon of last week suffering from stab wounds in the hand, leg and a serious cut over the heart indicted by his wife, Susie Poyner, well-known as Susie Teaches. Mrs. Teaches told the police that she cut her husband in self-defense asserting that while he had her on the floor sitting on and beating her she reached in his pocket, procured his knife and stabbed him. The altercation, she said, was the result of a heated argument, started when Elmore Fentress came to her home and found her in bed. She requested Fentress to cease visiting her home, she alleges, where upon he began to abuse her. Poyner, her husband, came to her defense and forced Fentress to cease molesting Susie. When Fentress left the house Poyner started out with him. Susie became enraged at this and threw a glass at Poyner, who returned and began fighting her, she alleges. It was then she stabbed him.
Susie Teaches, now Mrs. Susie Poyner, is remembered as the woman who is alleged to have been the cause of Leon Bell being shot by Persy Jackson on Cumberland street about a year ago. Jackson is now serving time in the penitentiary for that offense. He shot Bell when Bell had apparently gained Susie's affections. She is well-known in the uptown section and is admittedly a beautiful woman. Poyner while lying on his cot in St. Vincent's hospital pleaded with Detective Nowitzy not to prefer charges against Susie; claiming that he loved her too well

BERKLEY WARD
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Services last Sunday were very interesting and helpful. The Sunday school continues in its upward ward, new members are being added to the roll each Sunday. The lessons are being interestingly taught by efficient teachers.
At the morning service the pastor was absent. The pulpit was filled by Rev. Daniel Williams, who preached a soul-stirring sermon from the text John 3:14—12:32.
Rev. Williams is a young preacher, but judging from his sermon, we hold bright hope for his future as a minister.
At 2 o'clock the funeral of Mrs. James White was held in the church. Rev. John Lassiter officiated, and delivered a wonderful message on "The Frailty of Human Life."
At 8 o'clock the St. James A. M. E. Church held their night services jointly with us. Rev. Blake, the pastor delivered a very edifying sermon from the theme, "The Omnipresence of God."
Sunday night, August 24th, we shall again worship jointly with St. James. These unions are proving interesting and helpful.
TRINITY A. M. E. CHURCH
Friday night the second quarter conference of this church was held with the presiding elder, Dr. M. E. Davis, presiding. Messrs. J. C. Faulkner and W. E. Vaughan, acting secretaries, and John L. Smith, marshal. All the reports showed a decided increase for this quarter. Beginning with early class and pray service on last Sunday all of the services were helpful and full of spiritual inspiration. The morning hour of worship was marked by a practical and self-searching sermon by Dr. M. E. Davis from St. John 14:26, 27, subject, "The Office of the Holy Spirit." The evening service was featured by another helpful and instructive message by the presiding elder.
On this Sunday night the Missionary Society will render their regular fifth Sunday night concert instead of the fifth Sunday night in this month. Lawyer I. N. Wilson

Women You Like to Look at
are almost invariably those who have long, straight hair, which always looks smooth, soft and glossy. You simply can't afford to neglect your hair nowadays, because too many other women of our group are learning how much more attractive they can make themselves, by giving their hair the extra kind of attention.
You can't imagine how easy it is to make your hair so straight and long and so easy to arrange in any manner you wish, and how it will stay that way, by using PLUKO HAIR DRESSING.
The first few applications of this delightful preparation will give your hair such a wonderful fragrance and make your hair so straight and glossy, your friends will comment on it, and its regular use will give you a thick growth of long hair.
Miss Bertha Lay, the daughter of an tractive dancer and singer now with the Graftown Bazar Musical Comedy, which is touring the South and East, says: "I find it very easy to keep my hair long, straight, glossy and easy to dress in any manner I wish using PLUKO HAIR DRESSING. I simply would not be without this wonderful preparation."

Political lightning, so to speak, has struck Norfolk, and a "fourth" party here is born, according to a letter received by the Journal and Guide this week from a resident of Huntsville, who promises to lead the "fourth" party contingent on to the White House.
Mr. R. J. Ferebee of Avenue A, who when not engaged in trying hard to find his bread and butter, is explaining to others how to win political honors, has thrown his hat into the ring and announces himself not only ready to stand as the "fourth" party candidate, but as actually in the running for the presidency.
He addresses the following letter setting forth his platform: Dear Editor, I herby wish to announce the fact that at the Convention held in Lambert's Point last week, I was nominated candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America on the Fourth party ticket.
That I bolted the Republican party because its platform was too long. Not being a long distance runner nor having run in a marathon race, I feared I should tire before reaching the end. Furthermore, I also bolted the Democratic party because its platform was too short. Being a considerable sprinter, I feared I should run off in which case would result in a serious disadvantage.
I am opposed to LaFollette for two reasons: first, because he himself is his platform and it is impossible for a man either to run or stand on himself and secondly, because in his statements, he fails to name the colored people of Norfolk specifically and it is they in whom I am most vitally interested. This is our platform in which I am well pleased.
First Plank: We believe there should be lighthouses, lifesaving stations, and lifeboats distributed along Chapel and Church streets at the intersections of Calvert, Henry, Golf streets, and the east end of Washington avenue, and that the lights should be turned on and the lifesaving apparatus got out for action immediately after every big rain.
Second Plank: That the National Government should establish and maintain at Norfolk, Va., a school for teaching and keeping trained a corps of lifesaving guards. That the citizenry also should be taught how to float home in case of emergency.
Third Plank: That the taxes for the upkeep of same should be National while the benefits would be local. That the city should pay for half the canoes needed in Huntersville.
We believe that these planks if laid carefully, will make a platform solid enough for any candidate to stand upon. That they are not vague or uncertain terms but are vague or uncertain terms but much needed.
—RILEY J. FEREBEE
Let me urge through your columns the need of my getting in the White House while Mr. Coolidge is away on vacation. While he is said to be very silent, yet he might raise some objections, so I am urging that I be elected right away. As to the salary, we'll talk about that later. I have the honor to remain,
Your most humble servant,

GROWING OLD
WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR
All of the numerous patent medicine concerns that are pushing the sale of glands to make old people young are lacking in one vital thing.
Out of the advantages they claim come from keeping young, they've missed the one that is most important.
After the dashing young sheiks woos and wins his fair maiden all of the glow and glamour of his sheikishness usually wear off.
Especially after the short span of five or six years. He has then, settled down to the seriousness of office routine.
Of course that is enough to knock off a portion of the polish, when office routine is altogether necessary.
Nevertheless, all men should strive to keep that school girl complexion and the skin you love to touch for the sake of their better half.
What is more disgusting then, for a woman to win a handsome young man only to discover that the wear and tear of a few years changes the product.
A change from a dashing cavalier to a rotund, pouchy eyed, shapeless, colorless man of which are in abundance.
After the veneer wears off there's nothing to appeal to the opposite sex.
The woman, then wants a brand new breadwinner or the old one highly repolished.
What's more boring than marrying the star half-back who has the physique of a Greek god—after a few years turns to be a Greek hog.
There was a fellow who used to keep as much makeup stuff on hand as a star actress before he married.
After he had applied all of that stuff together with the naturalness that nature endowed him with, he would've been a model for any collar ad.
But after he marched to Mendelsohn's fatal tune, he hardly five years, at least, we will get the kept a hair brush on hand.
It was not that he didn't wish to continue to lure his wife, but she thought that he would lure some other damsel.

Last Sunday's newspapers carried an article stating that Herbert Hover's Committee of Unemployment of which Ernest T. Trigg of Philadelphia is chairman has just made public the result of its investigations of seasonal operations in the construction industries. "It is a general rule," the report states, "that the building trades are occupied wholly only three to five months in the year, and practically all the cities studied show a large percentage of idleness in these trades not only from December to March but in other months as well" "Idle time represents waste and direct losses to the construction industries, the workers and the public. With due precautions and proper equipment, nearly all construction work can be carried on in winter and at no great difference in cost. If building falls off there is bound to be slackening in many other lines of industry, resulting in unemployment, decreased purchasing power of employees and further depression."
CONCERNING LOCAL SITUATIONS So far as the colored people of Norfolk and vicinity are concerned, the report is important because it is here that we have many seasonal workers. We are indebted to the farmers for giving our people jobs gathering their strawberries and potatoes in this section, in Cape Charles and elsewhere. If these workers are children or if they have no dependents and simply take up the work as a diversion, the situation is not serious and the state law regulating child labor is not violated. Proper precautions should be taken however to throw the proper moral safeguards about the children while they are working, and after their work hours, while they are at leisure. But if these workers are capable of producing a real income, the situation is serious and calls for thoughtful consideration on the part of our public men and women.
It should be borne in mind however that even in the construction industry, the tedium of the work formerly done by the workers and in which the weather was an important factor is now done either in the factories or thru power machinery so that steel an concrete construction can be carried on just as well under the low tem-
For fear that she would lose him, she insisted that he should grow fat and ugly.
There was another dame who wouldn't let her husband maintain his naturel physique and athletic grace.
Not so much that she wanted to keep him, but she didn't want him and didn't want anybody else to have him.
After all staying young may have its disadvantages, but it pays to stay young as you can anyhow.
high temperature of summer
The man working for the full year has many advantages over the part time worker. He is able to begin the purchase of a home, open a savings account at the local bank, provide his children with home surroundings to harmonize with the training they receive at school and soon enters into a social scheme that leads him away from the temptation to break the law and prepares him for dependable and trustworthy citizenship. On the other hand the migrant, or casual worker earns a stake of a couple of hundred dollars or less, returns to his home facing unemployment, past due bills and suffering anguish from the loss of seniority in his old job and fearful because of his juniority of not making good in the new one which he may find. He is thus forced to cut deeply into and use up the small pile of money which he has earned.

WARNING TO LOVERS
It isn't the first kiss that costs—
it's the upkeep.
I hear you and the barber aren't
on speaking terms.
Wisdom has come to a certain Norfolk man with the years. On the occasion of his sixty-first birthday he said: "As we now view matters, from a more mature understanding, we realize that all the good people do not belong to our lodge; that all Christians are not found in any particular church and that graft and dishonesty is about equally divided among the various party organizations. R. J. Perebee rises to inquire if caring for the shingle bob could come under the head of "roofing expenses."
Battling Sessoms has observed that you can get more out of a man by slapping his back than by pounding his nose.
Think how horrid it will be, says "Plug" Carter, when the women control and a man can't get a job unless he has a good shape.
Few sights to be encountered nowadays are more terrifying, comments David Edwards, than that of a fat woman with a double chin, sitting in the front chair next to the barber shop window, having her blonde hair bobbed.
If the weather could be controlled by popular vote, grumbles T. C. Williams, there would be a washday bloc, a picnic bloc, a tourist bloc and a visiting bloc, that wouldn't let it rain enough to raise a corn crop.

certain if there are enough skilled workers in town to take care of the new industries that are expected to come to Norfolk in the future. Colored men and women should take a personal inventory of their jobs to find out if they contain the elements of permanency and promotion, they should seek to avoid a blind alley a—job with no future—and they should seek by every means to improve themselves and their grade of work so that when the season of prosperity hits Norfolk, they will get thir share of the good jobs offered.
OVER PROBLEM
The problem therefore facing Negro leaders is to see to it that our workers are led into permanent lines in order that our racial strength in the realm of finance may be made firmer, our economic strength more secure and our capacity for achievement enduring and not subject to seasonal fluctuations and depressions. We all should recognize and understand that when we add to our racial income, we add to our self-respect and draw on and receive a larger respect of the races in our midst. Every Negro home built, every Negro man employed, every Negro shack deserted for a modern home adds to our racial worth as a whole. Wherefore let us as Negroes interest ourselves in the welfare and improvement of all of the Negroes in our midst and arouse them to a new sense of economic values and the close connection of enterprise with civic betterment.

fans saw the“old master” go down
in defeat on the courts of the
James B, Walker Tennis Club, Gth
and W. Streets N. W.. There were
some thrilling moments and the
yabble showed keen appreciation of
every perfect placement, stroke .or
drive, The crowd was generous in
applause—now for ‘Ted Thompson.
now for Talley Holmes and now
for Ted Thompson, the victorious.
The score was 5-7, 7-8, 6-1, 10-8.
In the first set Ted was very nerv-
ous and played poorly. He mana-
ged, however, to extend the set to
12 games, finally losing by the
score of 7-5. Te regained his
poise in the second set and defeat-
Jed Talley by the score of 7-5. Tal.
ley weakened in the third set. He
was very erratic. His judgment
was poor, and he allowed Ted to
jet ahead three love games hefore
he seored once. Ted won this set,

GOOD OUTLOOK
The winners will be the tennis champions of Tidewater, Virginia. The committee in charge anticipates participation in this, Norfolk's first "open" tournament, of practically every tennis player in the Tidewater section of Virginia, as well as the younger players. It is the desire of those in charge to impress on the tennis players of the section that irrespective of whether or not they are members of any club playing tennis, they are eligible to enter the tournament, provided they follow the rules for entrance. Whether the entering players have a chance to cop the cups the first time, it is their duty to enter and gain the committee. The committee is particularly anxious to have every tennis player, young or old or middle aged, to enter. Remember to enter before the first of September.
THE ATTUCKS THEATREOPENS AUSPICIOUSLY
This week, at the reopening of the Attucks Theatre, properly termed the "Show palace of the South," a lot of handsome colored gentlemen with a piano, tenor banjos, cornetts, drum, cello, and other instruments made to order for syncopation appeared out of the darkness of the pit, sat down of the front of the theatre and produced some remarkable and exhilarating jazz of the type just fitted for an audience that really enjoys a good picture. Whether they were "special for the week only" or are to remain permanently, we cannot say, but if they remain and continue to produce jazz of the type they put forth on the opening night, and if the management carries out its assurances that the same type of photo-dramas will stay at the Attucks, then we can foresee nothing but a successful run for the theatre.
This we can say, however, and we need no program to tell us so—the music at the Attucks is better than ever, and by far the best in the uptown theatres, or down town for that matter. Some of the things that the musicians made their instruments do even made that lady behind us stop telling her companion not to get this kind of hat because it faded in an inopportune moment of dampness.

After many enthralling scenes, including that of the courtroom, where Gloria is divorced her accusation against the lawyer to ruin him, her confession, and their mutual admittance of love for each other, she tells him that she cannot marry him, for fear the public will not forgive him. Don't fear the public," he tells her, "they like happy endings." "Then let's give them what they want," she replies. And we get it.
OTHER ATTRACTIONS
A comedy, "The Covered Schooner," featuring Monty Banks, an educational film on precious gems and metals, and "Kinograms," a visual news film, all very interesting, rounded out the program for the first half of the week. The last half was featured by Poli Negri's appearance in "The Spanish Dancer."
Mr. Kelly, manager of the theater, informed this paper that a five year contract has been made with "Paramount Pictures," which is tantamount to saying that for five years, at least this house will show the best productions.

Thrilling Films For Next Week
Tom Meighan, "Women-Proof Star, Discusses Big Topic of Interest to Photoplay Faux "Perfection in motion pictures—"By perfection is meant plot that are flawless and convincing acting which is subtle rather than crude, sets which are beautiful without a jarring note of the inartic. "This is what the modern American theatre audience demands in its motion pictures, according to Thomas Meighan, star in the par amount picture, "Woman-Proof, which will be the feature at the Attucks Theatre next Monday.
"Today motion picture producers are concentrating on giving a fine, artistic finish to lavish screen dramas," said Mr. Meghan. The stage manager such this result of the screen transitions of the screen have been sweet aside.
"The Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, to cite one instance, has cut down its production more than 25 per cent, so that the entire studio forces may be concentrated to a greater degree on making bigger and better pictures. During the past few years, eighty or more pictures have been produced annually. During the ensuing year only fifty-two pictures will be made. This, in my opinion, is one of the most drastic changes in policy every made by a motion picture corporation.
What critics consider to be one of the most examples of pictures made under this system is Mr. Meighan's latest starring picture, "Woman-Proof," by George Ade. The picture is a comedy-drama, the story concerning a civil engineer (Thomas Meighan) and his brother and two sisters, all of whom are required to marry within a stipulated period or lose an inheritance of millions of dollars.
Hollywood In Pictures
How many men, women and children in America who would not, so to speak, 'give their eye teeth' to see behind the scenes of a motion picture studio?
Their names must be legions, judging from the number of applications for admission to the studios—which are not granted for obvious reasons. The next best thing to actually getting on the inside is to use the inside picture on the screen.
Pamount has an original idea. The James Cruise production "Hollywood" from a story by Frank Condon, adapted by Thomas J. Gerathy, which will be the big feature at the Attucks theatre next Wednesday and Thursday, shows the inner workings and also the outer appearance of the studios. It does it in story-form. The story of a middle-western family which comes to Hollywood and the efforts of the daughter to get a job in the pictures.
AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE AFFLICTED
What is regarded as meaning much to the welfare of the colored people of the community of Norfolk is the steady progress being made by the Tidewater Hospital in its endeavor to serve a most pressing need. It is the only hospital in Norfolk open to the practice of colored physicians, and the only one under exclusive control of the race.
It is now operated under the supervision of Tidewater Colored Hospital Association, Inc., with Mr. William H. Tyler, president of the Board of Trustees and Mr. W. W. Foreman, secretary. Dr. Wilbur A. Drake has been with the institution for ten years and has given to it a sacrificial service as surgeon in charge. Associated with him on the staff are several of the leading physicians of the city. Dr. Drake is also surgeon to the Virginia Railway and Power Company of this city.
The hospital is open to the practice of reputable physicians and surgeons, who are in full charge of their cases while undergoing treatment in the hospital. For nearly ten years the hospital has been in active operation which is admittedly a fine testimonial to the splendid work it is and the Board of Trustees and the staff of workers very carnely invite the general public to co-operate with them in their sacrificing effort to serve the community.
Fine humor, love, pathos, drama —all are combined in "Hollywood" and everybody will be in it!
"The Call of the Cannon"
Richard Dix, Lois Wilson and Mojorie Daw are featured in the cast of the Zane Grey Paramount production of "The Canyon" which comes to Attucks Theatre next Friday and Saturday.
"The Call of the Canyon" is a thrilling picture of the West. Among the many big scenes are the light between Glenn Kilbourne, played by Mr. Dix, and Haze Ruff when the latter insults Lois Wilson who is cast as Carley Burch; Carley lost in a sand storm in the Arizona desert and the marathon dancing contest in the fashionable New York home of the Morrisons. There is a happy blending of thrills, paths and humor throut the action.

RELIGIOUS NEWS and Church Activities
MT. OLIVE BAPTIST
The Norfolk Union Association convened here three days last week. Helpful and inspiring sessions were held, and the delegates were loud in their praise of the church and community for their hospitality and the general spirit of friendliness that seems to pervade the very atmosphere of this community.
The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are progressing nicely, and the outing to Little Bay Beach is the most talked of subject in the minds of the little folks.
The pastor, Rev. Johnson, is still preaching the gospel with a power that can come to those only who have been chosen for the work. On Sunday morning he prescheed from the text, "Ye are the Lord's remembrancers, take ye no rest and give Him no rest, 'till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth." The church was lifted up by this powerful and appealing text, and were doubly inspired to build in this life influence for the Lord. On Monday night the Tom-Thumb wedding was given. It was a great success and reflected credit on Mrs. King, the trainer and the children likewise.
This Sunday will be great day in Mt. Olive and at 3:30, the Norfolk and Western Trainmen's Association will turn out in a body and take charge of the service.
MONUMENTAL A. M. E.

GARRETTE'S TEMPLE
The program commemorating the founding of Paine College was rendered by the Sunday school. Several papers were read and the program was good as a whole. At 11:30, Rev. G. L. Word, A. M., D. D., of Birmingham, Ala., president of Miles Memorial College, one of the connection schools of the C. M. E. Church, preached from St. Matt. 14:27, "Jesus spake unto them saying, Fear not, it is I, be not afraid;" theme, "Jesus bringing help in trouble." At 8 o'clock, the pastor preached from Matt. 25:9, "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh go ye out to meet him;" theme, "Meeting Jesus." A lively gospel message was heard and enjoyed by all present. Next Sunday the pastor will preach from the Beatitudes. On Tuesday, August 26, the pastor and delegates will leave for the District conference and Sunday school convention.

Friday night, August 22, Madam Jackson will give a musical with a hundred voices. It will be the greatest musical ever held in the city by members of one church.

The pastor will preach each night, just a short sermon, and the singing will be by the chorus.
It is hoped that it will be one of the greatest of its kind ever had here. The object of the meeting will be to get the members and friends to get closer to God, and to let the Holy Spirit lead. On Monday night will be a meeting of prayer, everybody is asked to be present. There will be thirty minutes of silent prayer.
Thomas Newsome Eulogizes the Late Giles B. Jackson
Newport News, Va., Aug. 21.—Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome, who was invited on the last evening of the Tidewater Peninsula Baptist Association and Woman's Baptist Educational Convention, in session in Newport News, to speak in eulogy of the late Giles B. Jackson, who died on Wednesday, August 15, had this to say:
"Giles B. Jackson, ripe in years and rich in honors, has fallen asleep. Seventy-six years of age, he lived to see wonders wrought in this old world of ours and contributed heartily of the best that was in him to the sum total of Negro progress in America. To do this, he often was the butt of bitter ridicule and unthinking criticism; but, undaunted, he kept the even tenor of his way,—happy that his own people had so far advanced in civilization as to adopt the age-old habit of throwing stones at the man ahead.
"He loved his own people, and mayhaps at times, leaned too far in the direction of our brothers of the other race; but no man is perfect. Giles B. Jackson knew, and realized, perhaps, better than any public man of our race in the South, that there is no good reason why all men, of whatever color or religion, should not love the one the other. Black, he certainly was a Negro, and for whatever of worth he attained in his long, busy life, no race but ours can claim the honor. None but ours gave to him those qualities of love, patience, faith and vision that made him known, in all our states wherever unusual merit is recognized. God rest his soul."

The meeting, in the opinion of the delegates, was one of the best in the history of the association. All who attended admit that they were greatly benefitted thereby.

"Things I Don't Believe In," Rev. Bowling's Topic
The special sermon at the First Baptist Church this Sunday night will be based on the topic, "Some Things I Don't Believe In." The pastor, Rev. Bowling, says that negations as wells as affirmations are necessary to a well rounded view of truth, and that he therefore feels entirely justified in announcing such a subject and preaching from it as best he can.
COOLIDGE MESSAGE TO BUSINESS LEAGUE
(Continued from Page One)
by quoting from a letter which
I wrote a few days ago to a cor-
respondent who had sought to en-
list my influence against having
a colored man become a candidate
for a Congressional nomination.
In reply, among other things, I said
"The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however, it might be received in some quarters, could not possibly be permitted by one who feels their responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican party. Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my oath to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I purpose to regard it, and administer it, as the source of the ever their belief or race."
"I stand on that statement and believe it marks the line along which the colored people will advance to the full establishment of their rightful political status. Just as emancipation from slavery was granted by the immortal Lincoln so is economic emancipation being splendidly wrought out by the colored people for themselves; so I believe their full political rights will be won through the inevitable logic of their position and rightfulness of their claims."

NOTED RACE MEN PLAN TO GO ON ALADDIN CRUISE
Cleveland, Ohio, August 20—Among the men of note who are planning to participate in the Aladdin Cruise to the West Indies is Bishop Edwrad W. Jones of Washington. Bishop Jones' diocese now includes the Virgin Islands, lately added to American territory and Bishop Jones will take advantage of the cruise as a means of getting in touch with his denominational charges on these islands.
Two other noteworthy additions to the passenger list are Prof. Scarborough of Wilberforce, one of the foremost scholars of America and William Pickens, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Mr. Pickens is enthusiastic about the cruise as an event which disregards race barriers and brings nearer the ideals for which his organization is striving. He writes the following letter to Dr. Hill, Cruise Director:
Aug. 4, 1924, New York, N. Y.
Dr. John Louis Hill,
Care of Aladdin Cruise Cor.,
2077 E. 4th St.,
Cleveland, Ohio.
My dear Mr.Hill:—
I have talked with several people about the Cruise which you are planning to conduct, with white and colored American passengers, to the West Indies and other Southern points. I am glad to note that the project seems to be backed by responsible business men, white and black, this time. There have been several failures of this kind of travel plans, but your personnel seems to insure that there will be no failure.

Address Before The National Negro ‘Business Ledgue/ Convention
Sees Opportunity For
Great Accomplish:
ment in the Avenues
of Commerce.
«Special to the Journal and Guide.)
Chieago, Il, Aug. 21—More
than six thousand people gathered
in the spacious auditorium of the
Wendell Phillips High School, Wed-
nesday evening to hear the annual
address of Dr. Robert R. Moton,
President of the National Negro
Business League which is celebrat-
ing its “Silver Jubilee” and Twen-
ty-fifth Annual Meeting in this
city, z
Dr. Moton paid a glowing tribute
to the memory of the late Dr,
Beoker T, Washington, the Found-
er and First President of the Na-
tional Negro Business League, de-
caring that “the inspiration
which he gave to business develop-
ment and the results that have been
accomplished in the years follow-
ing cannot be adequately measu-
ured.” The speaker pointed out
that the present need in Negro
business “is to stress the need for
honest, capable, expert manage-
ment as a basis for credit. and a
warrant of confidence on the part
of the business world in the_abili-
ty and the competency of the
American Negro to handle financial
and ccmmercial affairs, co-operate
and otherwise in a thorough-going
genuinely efficient business-like
fashion.”
In. speaking of the progress
which the Negro his made in the
past twenty-five years, Dr. Moton
said: “There is no need today for
discouragement; rather there is
every reason for hopefulness from
whatever angle we may view the
situation, — nothwithstanding — the
back currents and edies in ow po-
litical and social progress. The
Business League has had a very
large share in the astounding prog-
ress that the vace has made, Let
me give a few concrete examples
was organized twenty-five years
Mf this progress. When the League
ago, there were 250 drug stores;
there are today more than 900.
Then 450 undertaking _establish-
ments were conducted by Negroes;
there ave today 1558. When the
League was organized there were
but two banks, now there are 74.
We boasted, and properly, twenty-
five years age, of 10,000 _ retail
merchants; we ean boast today of
more than’25,000. In 1900 we paid
taxes on property valued at three
hundred million dollars, our realty
holdings alone today are worth one
hillion seven hundred million dol-
lars, and if we should add the. val-
ue of church property and educa.

| The speaker further urged the
‘members of the National Negro
Business League to pool their re-
sources for the commercial devel-
opment of the race; referred to
the great buying power of the race
and explained the manner in which
the National Negro Finance Cor-
poration, which was recently form-
ed. with’ a capital of one, million
dollars, would be one of the Tore-
most agencies in the economic de-
velopment of the Negro in Ameri-
ca and declared the need of such
an organization was shown by. the
jrapid sale of the stock which
;was put on the market about six
weeks ago and $100,000 worth has
been sold already.
The text of President Moton’s
addvess is as follows:
“Twenty-five years ago, Booker
T. Washington, whose name we
delight to honor and whose mem-
ory we deeply revere, cailed togeth.
er at Boston a group of business
and professional men and women
with a view of devising ways and
means by which they could fix at-
tention not less on the moral and
intellectual development of the Ne-
gero race, but at the same time on
the importance and the absolute
necessity for greater busines;
progress,
“There was organized at that
meeting the National Neer Busi-
ness League.
“Ty and out of season, sparing
neither time, means nor energy, the
great Founder of this organization
With his prophetic vision preached
the gospel of business development
for the Negro people as a funda-
mental necessity to their general
development. “His great, personal-
ity drew to his aid always many
of the leading spirits of the race.
The inspiration and impetus which
he gave to the business develop-
ment and the results that have
been accomplished in the years fol-
lowing cannot be adequately meas-
ured. The change and progress
that have come to the race during
these years is marvelous, possibly
beyond the dreams of the most
lcangwine well-wishers, within a+
well as without the race.
| Present Need in Negro Business
“We meet now in the great me-
tropolis of the Middle West in our
Twonty-fifth Annual Meeting, our
“silver Jubilee.” For sixteen years
the Founder and President of this
organization, with consummate
tact and wisdom, indomitable forec
‘and courage, sought to overcom:
what seemed almost an obsession
| with our people—business fear and
| timidity, ‘a lack of faith and cour-
age to xo into business. In laree
| measure as individuals, and ever
| more so as in groups, partnerships
{and other corporate effort, we have

(te The need for. the present
referred exclusively té the fight to
yet the Bill up for consideration
in September of 1922. At that
time.there was a chanee to get the
Dill up for consideration.
“The main reason for the failure
of the Bill to be brought up for
consideration in September of 1922,
was not Democratic opposition, for
the Democrats had not organized
or at least didnot launch their
filibuster at that time, The main
reagon for the failure was the ah-
sence of Republican Senators
‘Among those absent at that time
ag the Congressional Record of
September 21, 1922 will show, was
Senator Edxe.
Pe When an effort was again made
‘to bring the Bill up in the latter
ear of November, 1922, the Dem-
oerats. immediately Sxunehed theit
filibuster and there was never a
chance for the Bill, ‘The majority
of the Senators on the Republican
side merely made a sesture.
“However, during this period
Senator Edge was present and sup.
jported the Bill in such votes as
were taken, He also made i

Washington, D. C., August 20—
Colored voters in every section of
the country are rallying and or-
Jganizing for the support of the
Republican party in the November
elections. Coolidge and Dawes
Jelubs composed of colored men and
women are being set up every-
where and an active campaign has
heen launched in behalf of the na-
tional Republican ticket, accord-
ing to reports grown at Republican’
headquarters.
Leaders of the colored forces re~
doubled their efforts as the result
of siren appeals made to this sec
tion of the population by the fol
lowing of Senator Robert M. La-
Follette. “Keep the faith with
Coolidge and the Republican party”
has been adopted as the slogan of
leagues of colored voters in every
state and community in the land.
‘The response of colored voters
in general and of influential lead-
ers to this appeal has been grati~
fying according to daily reports
reaching Republican campa ign
leaders. Whatever LaFollette sym-
pathy there may have developed
has been effectively countered, it
is stated, and the number of col-

“VIRGINIA CROP NOTES
‘All crops, especially corn, and
tobacco were greatly improved by
recent rains Which were badly
eeded in all parts of the State ex-
cept in the Southwest, where the
weather has been more favorable
for crop growth.
Corn
The corn crop has improved con-
siderably since the recent rains,
but it is still late and the condition
js below the average,
Wheat threshing is progressing
satisfactorily, and is generally
completed in the Southern and Cen-
tral districts, Yields are better
than had been expected. Furmers
have been selling rapidly.
Tobacco
The condition of tobacco is bet-
ter than it was on August Ist when
the erop was suffering from the
ary weather. ‘The rain during the
‘week came when it was most need-
ed. Curing has commenced in the
Southern counties.
Hay
The late hay crops have im-
proved during the past week, and
now promise fair yields. ‘The car-
ly hay crop was one of the best
ever harvested in the State and
was saved in fine condition, ‘The
rains have helped pastures very
much,
Fruits

last Sunday, He said that he saw
by the rains, Peaches are ripe-

shipments have started and . will
reach the peak during the next
five days when the Albertas begin
to move, The outlook for apples
is very good, and the commercial
crop is better than last year ex-
cept in the Winchester district.
Cantaloupes are ripening, and wat-
ermelons will soon be ready for
market. The season has been un-
favorable for these crops.
Potatoes
‘The carly potato crop. made an
unusually heavy yield on the Bust-
ern Shore, and the shipments from
that section are already the largest
on record. The total carlot move-
ment to August 9, was 21,106 cars
compared with 15,129 cars lust
year. The price to growers has
cS very low. Sweet potatoes
have improved, but the condition
is still below the average,
Peanuts
The condition of peanuts has im-
proved, however, the vines are
much better than on August Ist, it
is very likely that the yield will be
fs large as usual.
! Labor
In most parts of the State there
seems te be sufficient farm labor
Jo meet the demands, Wages are
Fhigh and there is much complaint
that they are out of proportion tu

bulletin covering all the informa.

year's is in good condition. - He
stated that, “If any one crop can
}be pointed out as the cause of my
success, it is Crimson clover.” Ali
the farmers of the party stated
that Rogers has the best lot of
hogs in the county.
At Mr. Riehard Cornie’s farm
the party enjoyed a pence seram-
‘ble Mr. Corie is a prosperous
farmer, His house has heen re-
cently painted, it is well sereened
and looks the pride of the owner.
Lunch was served at the home
of Mr. Charley Luke, who with the
aid of the other furmers of Upper

luneh for the whole party. ‘This
was in accord with an extended in-
vitalion by the farmers of Upper

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.
She says it was Exelento Quinine Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxuriant. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen.
She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier for salow complexions and skin blemishes. She had used this remarkable cream but a short time when her friends began complimenting her on her clean skin and improved appearance.
Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier. They can be obtained at 25% each from nearly all drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELEENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.

"Here is an opportunity for the more effective organization and work of the Local Business Leagues, for the national organiza- tion must function in a large measure thru local organizations. We will perhaps divide the country, in so far as Negroes are concerned, into districts or zones, with chairman or vice president of the corporation, and zone chiefs, with state and city or country chief or chairman, but all of these commiteeen and women must be people of known business integrity and sound in their moral as well as business standing.
Help For Local Enterprises
"Sentiment is necessary and valuable, and we must have sentiment in 'this movement,' but sentiment must not control the movement. We must place at the disposal of local business organizations expert advice and counsel as well as financial assistance when the conditions warrant it. We must help in co-operative buying and selling in and up-to-date methods of book keeping and inventories; in neat orderly, attractive places of business and courteous service. We must take away from the Negro business enterprises the characteristic earl krs krs shiftlessness, earl krs discounty uncertain full weight, unbusiness like dealing with customers. In other words, we must, in business parlance, sell the Negro merchant to his own race as well as to other races.
"We need also to establish a central bureau from which may be sent the latest information regarding Negro business and corporate affairs of clearing house of helpful information en worthwhile enterprises.
Support of Negro Press
"I firmly believe that the time has come when our people will support such an organization with skill, vision, time and a portion of their means.
"Already the Negro press is keenly alert on this subject, and let me say in passing that the Negro newspapers, whatever may be their private differences, have a b s o l u t rung true when it comes to justice and fair play for the Negro people. We eve them a debt of gratitude which we can never adequately pay. The Negro newspapers have supported this movement from the beginning. The Negro newspapers are read more studiously and quoted more regularly by the white press of the country than ever before. Negro correspondents and staff writers are employed by leading dailies. This change from the former attitude of the white press is due to the recognized importance and value of the Negro press as a factor in our national life, and the ability of our group as thinkers and writers in dealing with present day subjects.
Era of Co-operation
"The time is rapidly approaching when all of us, wherever we are, whatever our social or educational status, who ever our professional or business, and whatever may be our differences of opinion, must in a larger measure than ever before sink personal differences and prejudices and stand together, that our race shall have an equal share in all the blessings and privileges of American civilization, without guard to creep in violation of or hobbiest security secured these privileges, we must together use them usuflissfully for the good of our race and our glorious country and to the glory of God, so that all may fully share in that "far-off divine event, to which the whole creation moves."

Dr. Moton's Address At Business League
(continued from page 7)
was asked to organize for the Federation of Labor a co-operative banking institution, not without a view to helping labor along lines of thrift and the pooling of their interest for benefit primarily of their own group. He did so, and out of that bank which Mr. Howe organized six years ago in Cleveland, the Federation of Labor today has developed fifty banks, scattered all over our country with combined assets of over a million dollars. Can we do the same? We have the money in our race to do it, and friends, we have the ability within our race to do it.
Aid Prof Julius Rosenwald
"We can command, if necessary, the advice and co-operation of the best and most experienced bankers in the country, men like Julius Rosenwald, George Foster Peabody and Clarence H. Kelsey, of the white race. Mr. Rosenwald, has spent on the Rosenwald schools in the South, I think, about a million and one-half dollars. He would gladly put an expert at our disposal and would gladly give him the knowledge if necessary, for he gives his time and sympathy to anything that has to do with the highest development of any people. There are scores of others also would gladly give their assistance when called upon.
National Negro Finance Corporation
"For several years now, we have been discussing such an organization in this League. At the meeting in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1922 a committee was appointed with Mr. C. C. Spaulding, of Durham, chairman to take up this suggestion in all of its phases and to advise methods and means by which it could be carried out, and was authorized to perfect such an organization and be attached to subsequent meeting of the League Mr. Spaulding, chairman of the committee, will make his report to morrow evening. The organization has been perfected and the charter obtained for a million-dollar financial corporation known as the National Negro Financial Corporation, capitalized at one million dollars, and I am happy to inform you that in the neighborhood of a hundred thousand dollars of stock has already been sold. At the urgent and persistent request of the committee and the presidenty temporarily, my hope is that during this gathering, or very soon thereafter certainly, we shall complete the list of permanent officers and committees. I have been surprised at the enthusiasm with which this organization has been accepted by our people; it shows that our people want something of a business sort that our leaders, with perhaps the best possible intentions, have thus far not been giving. I hope by the first of January, if not earlier, we can begin active business operations. I know the movement will have been building this organization and all other worth-while organizations, and that within twelve months, we will be functioning effectively.
"I could give you illustration after illustration in my experience in the past few months, which would prove to the most skeptical the absolute necessity for such an organization, but it must be wisely and conservatively and efficiently handled. It is not organized primarily as a money-making scheme—were that the primary object, it would not appeal to me—but it is a service organization. We might have called it the National Negro Service Corporation but that would have misled us, misleading us, circling perhaps, but it is nevertheless a distinctively service movement. It will make money, it cannot help it if it serves; it will make a great deal of money, and the question will come, comparatively soon too as how the money shall be spent in the larger development of our group.

This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands of one who has taken the treatment.
"I want to say that my 'last vipor' was restored and 'globals' renewed in twenty-four hours," Today I am on the job. I don't feel it, day over day. Before I started taking the treatment, I felt that I am enjoying a remarkable 'globals' restoration and am convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May God also aid me in discovering of such a wonderful formula prepared in the world and genuinely known as Mando, is easily used by people on old age to work like magic in its reliability on people of all ages.

Acceptances
We have reached the period in American
politics when platform declarations are re-
garded as one thing and what the candidates
say and stand for are another thing. That
is a remarkable reduction of the matter, as it
has heretofore been understood that the party
should speak and do things.
‘The change has been brought about by the
usurpation of party power, and the pereversion
of party platform promises, by the leaders,
who have used the parties to promote personal
rather than the public interests, In each of
the parties, for a long time past, a small
group of men have made the platforms and
named the candidates and used party power
when they got it to suit themselves. The peo-
ple have grown tired of that sort of thing.
So, then, it has come to pass that the pub-
lic accepted the three leading of the twelve
candidates for the Presidency for what they
personally stand rather than for what their
parties stand in their platforms. President
Coolidge, Mr. John W. Davis and Senator Rob-
ert M. LaFollette, the people understand, are
their own platforms, that is, they are supposed
to be stronger than their party and to embody
their own platform in their personalities. We
can’t say we like the change, because party
government, or government by party, is the
basis of Republican administration of affairs,
. which the executive, legislative and judicial
departments are supposed to be actuated as
lone person in the administration of the Gov-
Jernment, When this co-ordination does not
function we have hurtful conflict sudh as
President Cleveland and President Coolidge
had to deal with in the failure of Congress to
see things as the President saw them.
Senator LaFollette, who is the insurgent
candidate, is radical to the extreme in his
platform and very outspoken and emphatic
in his position on the vital questions of the
race, creed and nativity, antagonising bluntly
the stand taken by the leaders of the Invisible
Empire, who have projected themselves into
polities with a vengeance and made their ques-
tion the predominant one, however others may
regard it, Mr. Davis met the Klan challenge
with great courage and emphasis, going even
further than the Democratic platform de-
liverance by declaring that in his appointments
to office, if he should be elected President, he
would not discriminate against any citizen be-
cause of his race, creed or nativity. On this
question ‘he stands as squarely as the Consti-
tution of the United States. President Cool-
idge, on the other hand contents himself with
a simple affirmation of equality of citizenship
with special favors to none and a faithful ob-
servance and enforcement of the laws.
Afro-American voters are very much dis-
satisfied with the political status of things as
they concern them, and many of them will not
make up their minds how they will vote until
the campaign comes in sight of the voting day.
Perhaps it is just as well, Theit political
solidarity was bound to disintegrate in the
course of events, ani the disintegration ap-
pears to be at hand, with the larger part
sticking to the Republican party as a matter
of habit as well as principle,
‘We may have a candidate of our own for
Congress both in a New York and a Chicago
district. We are coming and are bound to get
there.
“Prance honors race heroes,” says a news:
‘paper headline, saying hor Black Troops from
the colonies were real Frenchmen and fought
nobly for Frence. And the United States,
-what has she said to the Black Troops who
won glory in France and whom the Frenchmen
glorified in citations and decorations? It is
shameful, a brutal answer it only can make
_ The International Dancing Masters’ As-
sociation have found so much “animal danc-
ing,” in New York as to make them nervous
and they are going to fight it. What of it?
People will have the sort of dancing they like,
‘There is so much animial in all of us that all
the daneing masters may imagine they are im-
‘mune, but we know they are not.
Judge Alfred J. Talley, in installing Judge
William Allen ss a Judge of the Court of
General Sessions, in New York, told him he
had come on “the bench of the greatest crim-
inal court in the world at a time when this
country is suffering under an indictment
which proclaims it to be the most lawless on
the earth.” That is a fearful thing for an
experienced judge to say, but the criminal
records bear him out and shame the Nation.
Read the newspapers reports of lawlessness
and the heart grows sick of the appalling
prevalence and heinousness of the crimes com:
mitted every hour all over the land.
‘Teachers Preparing for the School Work
The vacation days are nearly all gone
away. The teachers and pupils alike have|
had a long respite from the school room ex-
actions and they should be stronger and bet-
ter fitted to take up the work where they left
it off three months ago. We all have a vital
pride in our schools, public and private, in
the splendid army of children and youths whom
their teachers guide to a higher conception of
the duties of adultage, of manhood and citizen-
ship. However much ‘ve learn in the school
days of those duties we never get through
Jearning after we leave school, as new phases
arise all of the time which the man of civie
pride must front and master. An educated,
intelligent citizenship is the highest and best
asset any Nation, any race, can have to pro-
‘mote and safeguard their liberties and to pro-
mote their industry and thrift.
_ The earnestness with which the youth of
the Afro-American people have gone after and
‘mastered such education as was in their reach
‘during the past fifty years, and the good uses
they have and are putting it to, are the most
hopeful signs possible of progressive growth
in the future, based upon the foundation al-
ready made, of the most gratifying character.
_ But it is the purpose of this article to em-
phasize the use to which most of our teachers
have put their vacation days, or most of them.
‘The Summer schools for our teachers in the
South have been attended by an unusual,
growing, number of teachers and many of the
‘Summer schools of the North and West have
had large numbers of our teachers in their
courses. These teachers love their work and
are taking advantage of the opportunities to
improve themselves in the methods and tech-
nique of the teachers’ work, which are under-
going constant changes for the better and
must be mastered as the teacher goes along
fren year to year, as the doctor and lawyer
and preacher must keep abreast of all of the
changes and improvements in their high work,
«In attending the Summer schools and doing
what they can by hard study to improve them
selves in the methods and technique of their
work our teachers not only serve their own
interests best. but those of the parents and of
the tax-payers and-those who manage the ed:
ucational system. :
“Our school teachers deserve well of the
public, and when they show the devotion tc
their great work and the earnestness to better
fit theriselves for it, characteristic of them in
‘a growing way, the public will always ‘accord
them the consideration which they deserve,
Arresting A Whole Excursion
Seldom is there heard of a more ridiculous
piece of police activity than the arresting of
an entire excursion party as was done in Rich.
mond last Sunday, when about twenty of the
excursionists were suspected of having parti-
cipated in a raid and loot upon a Greek es-
tablishment in Hopewell.”
Roports of the incident state that because
of the inability of the Greek to identify a sin-
gle one of the alleged raiders, and the inabil-
ity of the police of Hopewell to cope with the
situation a blanket warrant was procured for
the apprehensior’ of the entire party, consisting
of 381 men, women and children, on its re-
turn to Richmond, Wherein lies the common-
sense or warrant of law in this wholesale ar-
rest episode is not apparent. ‘Three hundred,
sixty-one of these people were entirely inno-
cent of participation in the Hopewell out-
lawry and were in no possible way lawfully
subject to arrest. Hoarding them all together
and subjecting the women and children to the
humiliation and indignities of arrest because
twenty men of the party were suspected of
crime appears to have been a high-handed piece
of police business; in fact, a stupid blunder.
There is no more justification in arresting an
entire excursion when twenty of their number
are suspected of crime than there is arresting
the entire population of a Georgia city when
1000 of its men have burned their victim at
stake and nobody identifies a single one of
those participating in the lawlessness.
Certainly the steamer might have been law.
fully detained in Hopewell ‘a few hours to
allow the Greek ample time to try to identify
the raiders, or the discharge of passengers in
Richmond might have been so arranged to per-
mit him to observe them closely as they left
the boat, but there was no sense in arresting
everybody who went on that excursion, in
spite of the failure of the Greek to identify 2
single person as one who participated in loot-
ihe his store. .
Such proceedings as occured in Richmond
last Sunday remind us that we are still living
in an age in which individual rights hang pre-
cariously in the balance, and are all too often
roughshod over when they pertain to certain
people. .
| Mavor Roper’s Speech —
Mayor Albert L. Roper in speaking to the
colored citizens of Norfolk at the First Bap-
tist Church Sunday night while presenting the
keys of the city to the visiting Sons of Nor-
folk made a refreshing departure from the
stock talk so generally accorded colored au-
diences by prominent white speakers. The
Mayor regarded his audience as an intelligent
group of the community's citizens, just as he
would any other group, and refrained from ut-
tering hackneyed platitudes about “your won-
derful” progress, a type of talk so frequently
used by speakers, who thru their own ignor-
ance, labor under the misguided impression
that the only way to deliver a suitable speech
to Negroes is to tell them what “big” things
they have done and are doing.
He spoke to the point, every word uttered
having a real meaning, being very informing
and ladened with wholesome advice. It was
the kind of specch that one could enjoy, and
the Mayor is to be thanked for it.
Touching upon remarks made by the mas-
ter of ceremonies attorney Walter H. Land,
who, in introducing the Mayor, spoke of the
gratefulness of the colored people to the city
administration for the various benefits re-
ceived, Mr. Roper revealed that he is 2 man
above the plaudits of the crowd when he said
that no special credit was due him as Mayor
nor any other city official for what they had
done in interest of the colored people because
that received by them was no more that what
they were entitled to as good citizens of the
community, That is the truth, and simply be-
cause it is the truth, Mayor Roper would de-
serve no special eredit for uttering it if it
were not also true that so many persons in of.
ficial position seem to regard every community
benefit accorded colored people a dole given out
of the bigness of their own hearts instead of u
right purchased at the price of good and equal
citizenship.
Sunday night was usidoubtedly Mr. Rop-
er’s last appearance before a group of our
people as Mayor of the city of Norfolk, inas-
niuch as he goes out of office September 1, but
he will take with him the good-will of all the
people of this city whom he has so splendidly
served, .

The Negro Vote
From, the Zanesville, Ohio, ‘Times-Recorder.
"The Negro vote will be. an entirely new
proposition this year—entirely different from
the past. It cannot be reckoned with or count-
ed upon in the old way. The Negro vote
is becoming an educated vote, an intelligent
vote and is no longer a driven vote, in the
opinion of “The Crisis,” a national magazine
‘of the colored people. The editor, after re-
viewing the records of the two major parties
and noting their favors and their failures,
calls for the use of the ballot with far-reach-
jing intelligence.
| We must learn to vote,” he says, “we must
study democracy and government, Let us
learn what voting means and for whom to
vote and how to vote ourselves into free, mod-
ern, industrial democracy.”
Under circumstances, which he enumerated
it is impossible the editor declares, for the en-
franchised Negro of the United States to vote
a straight ticket for cither of the parties
“Our voting,” he declares, “must be primarily
a matter of individual candidate for office. In
order to vote effectively we must know the ree-
ords of candidates. We must demand of then
clear statements as to their attitude toward
matters of vital interest to us, We must ut-
terly ignore party labels and vote for the men
who will best serve us and our country.”
‘These ‘extracts show how the Negro feels,
shows how he is thinking, shows how he is
laboring to better his condition and conditions
for his children. The National Association
for ‘the Advancement of Colored People in its
15th Annual Conference Iet it be known that
the main problem before the American Negre

election. This organization has a wide follow.

Chairman, Bonrd of Directors of the

Professor East of Harvard
University, unlike Lathrop
Stoddard in “The Rising Tide
of Color,” believes that the
white race is in no danger of
being submerged by the col-
- ored races or of falling behind
in population. ‘The white race
according to his elaborate ar-
ray of figures, is increasing
more rapidly than the colored
races. “Over two-thirds of the
total yearly increase of the
world population is white,” At
the present rate, unless some
radical and relatively perma-
nent overthrow of world affairs
occurs, the white race will
have a true majority before
1950. “Looking to the North,
the East, and the West,” he
says, “the horizon is uncloud-
ed. Only in the South ap-
pears a little cloud no larger
than a man’s hand. It may be
a passing mist but it bears
watehing. From the Mason"
and Dixon's line to the Horn,
from Gibralter to the Cape of
Good Hope, the Southern out-
post is the post of danger.
‘This is the direction in which
to double the guard.”
‘This guard must prevent the
filtration of black blood into
the white world. After prov-
ing that the blacks never have
done anything as good as the
white and never will, by the
school intelligence tests (it is
unfortunate %hat Professor
East did not have the Los An-
geles school tests published in
Opportunity, July 1924, show-
ing its colored school children
to be as able as its white) by
‘the army tests, by an appeal to
history, he dilates on the dan-
ger of miscegenation. The mu-
lattoes, (contrary to what we
used to hear) procreate more
rapidly than the blacks, The
white color line begins to break
in certain places. Boston
shows a number of white and
colored marriages. The guard
must stop this. But another
factor in the situation is the
successful effort of the Na-
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
to block legislation prevent-
ing mixed marriages in the 30
per cent or so of states having
no law against it. They sup-

PUBLIC PULSE
Youth Seeking Truth
Editor Journal and (urde:
Sir:—Your paper fs to be com
mended for its news-content for the
past several weeks, particularly
for the well-written reports of the
current discussion of “verbal in-
spiration,” and “Bible infallibil-
ity.” The solicitude of the rev-
evend gentlemen for the “faith of
our youth,” and the “Christian
sensibilities of the saints of God”
is as it should he, But there is
an exprest wonder if that solici-
tude is not more keenly felt for the
“system of things as they were.”
‘The youth of today is anxiously
secking the truth of “things as
they are;” he js not satisfied with
the shouting of shibboleths from
the pulpit which too frequently are
attributed to lack of se rious
thought and prayerful preparation
‘on the part of the shouter, So,
when a young man as Rev. R. Il.
Bowling, who has lived as youth
lives; confronted with the same
opportunities and the same tempta~
tions—dares to speak out of the
wealth of his experience; “speaketh
out of his heart's fullness—God's
truth, that, because it inspires in
us the will to live truthful lives—
we listen and take heed.
It is a fact that one who has as-
sociated with many of our clergy
will find—that numbers of them
look askance on youth's aspira-
tions. It is because they miss the
vision of youth that the stereo!
typed Bible Class finds « hardy
rival in the movie or vaudeville
show, and that saints who once
found consolation in prayer meet-
ing get more comfort in a dance or
card pakty. Granted—that the
church was not instituted for
amusement or entertainment, but
to save souls. Then, through per-
sonal contact the truth must be
transmitted for the saving of
souls; thoro-going instruction in
the way will strengthen youth's
faith.
‘The system of things as they
were and as they are in a number
of instances, gives us a mechanical
sort of Sunday School with doubt-
by asking to have no laws
leaving the colored gir! power-
Jess to compel ad white seduc-
er td marry. By this claim
they gain the support of Pur-
itanieal busybodies.”
In this chapter on “Racial
Prospects and Racial Dan-
“gers,” Dr. DuBois is culled a
firebrand and, broadly speak-
ing, a liar, but it would be un-
fair to give this chapter, how-
ever interesting to us, undue
importance, The book is an
argument on the dangers of
overpopulation. It is Malthus-
ian in its doctrine, Malthus
showed that when the econom-
ic opportunities of a country
increased, its birth rate in-
creased and thus the poor were
little benefitted. Professor
East shows that this is trué
today even in our own United
States. We have had unlim-
ited territory but the time has
come to curb our immigration
and our births. Agriculture
shows diminishing returns.
Long lists of figures are cited
to show our maxium possibil-
ities. “If the expansion rate
ig not decreased, men of the
present generation will see the
United States peopled beyond
the maxium agricultural pos-
sibilities set by our calcula
tions.” ‘The agricultural mir-
acles, like the one that Texas
might feed every person on
our planet, are sent to the
scrap heap.
‘The birth rate is ‘to be kept
down by birth control. For that
the book is a great argument.
We are told that Margaret
Sanger’s recent trip “was as
important to Japan in its way
as that of Commodore Perry.”
‘The federal law against birth
control which Anthony Com-
stock pushed through Congress
in 1873 will some day “lead
the list of barbarites commit-
ted by supposedly civilized peo-
ple.” Voluntary motherhood
is argued for persuasively and
and with'a multitude of care-
fully gathered facts. Our
death rate declines and so
must our birth rate unless we
would lose such economic ad-
vantages as our country has.
This is the crossroads at which
mankind stands.
The book might be so good if
it did not have the Nordic eu-
genist’s boastfulness. To some
of us boastfulness always de-
notes weakness. “‘Dostoevski
said of Russia, “she has her
repulsive aspect but she un-
derstands the meaning of per-
sonal regeneration through hu-
mility.”” Humility! The Nor-
dic pagan does not know the

‘ers for youth who is thinking and
is desirous of learning of God, His
ma His Purpose. Then, comes
the morning sermon, exhorting us
to get to heaven, the same repeated
in different key for the evening's
discourse, perhaps extended to a
picture of “mother, father,” ct
cetera, whom we shall freet beyond

droll-winding- ittie petitions to

finitnm with extra trimming: at
Easter and Christmas, and in-
ereased emphasis at intervals on
the “rally.”
This is the thing which is under-
mining the faith of our youth and
shocks the Christian sensibilities of
many saints who long to sce the
church exercise her rightful in-
fluence over men. Youth prepares
in public school, in academy and
in college to live his life here
among his fellowmen. So, give
him the Master's faith which stood
lon no such shaky foundation as
‘whether “the” in English, Latin,
Greek or Hebrew or Syro-Chal-
dean is verbally inspired. Youth
needs the Master's faith of “thou
shall love the Lord thy God with
fall thy heart, soul and mind, and
thy neighbor as thyself.” With
this you have strengthened youth.
Make the church an expression of
the Master's faith in provision for
wholesome recreation—games
sports, libraries, in a sane and in-
telligent program which will make
its just appeal. Let our ministers
come into personal contact with
youth. Find his dreams; locate
his ambitions. Appreciate his
ambitions. Appreciate his _prob-
lems; beeome acquainted with his
lexperiences and “exemplar of the
believer in conversation and in

be no need for screaming propa:
ganda from the pulpit or elsewhere

COMMENT
et NAM RRETON
Ina recent issye of the Crisis
the editor states, “we must ut-
terly ignore party labels and
vote for the men who will
best serve us and our ‘coun-
try.” There is much in that
statement that commands the
. intelligent and serious thought
of the race electorate.
There are those who argue
that regardless of how noble a
democrat may be elected to the
presidency, there is precious
little he could do for us as a
yace, on account of his party
ties, They say that the South
in the party would make nil
of any attempt a Democrat
president might make toward
according us full citizenship
rights.
‘This broad assertion is open
to question. A strong leader
holding an uncompromis-
ing position on the Constitu-
tion, whether he be a Demo-
erat, Republican, Socialist or
of the Third party would cer-
tainly make a President wor-
thy of the confidence and the
votes of all the people. ‘Truc,
with Congress opposing his
views there would be but little,
or nothing accomplished for us
in a. material way, but after
all, so long as he stood his
grounds for the right, he
would accomplish big things
in the way of arousing senti-
ment toward justice, which in
the final analysis must under-
lic all the permanent and
steady progress we are to
make politically. Again, a few
appointments by the President
and acquiesed in by the Sen-
ate, are not worth as much to
us as would be the sentiment
created by an uncompromis-
ing defender of right, even if
he failed ever to put over a
single appointment. Jobs and
further recognition will come
when sentiment is right. Our
big problem now is to elect
those whose sentiment is sound,
regardless of the impotency of
their power to actually put in-
to practice their views. A
Democrat or Sovialist, for that
matter, who would stand for
the right even if the heavens
fall, would mean more to us
than an indifferent Republican,
even tho he had behind him the
machinery to put into effect
every item on his program.
Let us not be misled by focus-
ing our eyes on the number of
appointments we might get,
but rather concentrate on put-
ting those in office who will be
