ENTIRELY AGREEABLE That young man had no business to kiss you last night, said mother to the sweet young thing. Oh, maw, how can you say such things? That wasn't business, it was pleasure. Our idea of the manly art of self-defense—"one hundred yards in ten seconds." No man is a hero to his own mother-in-law. Willey Johnson says a girl in your arms is worth two any other place. Some people keep right on buying beef steak when they haven't a saxophone in the house. FREAKS NOT SHEIKS WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. A great deal has been said about the present day young crop of young sheiks. Most young men are trying more or less to be of the sheikish variety. Of course there are some who are doing it to great advantage, while others are falling down by the roadside. The colleges are the places where most of this type of young humanity will be found in countless numbers. Well, instead of being sheiks, most of them, if not all are simply freaks. From all indications and statistics they seem to be more of the latter than the former. Especially with their big bottom pants ruffled or pleated at the waist. By A. WITT J. T. Tanner thinks the common people are those who have to buy their oil from a dealer instead of grabbing it from the Government. *Correct this sentence: Yes, said the political They wear pants that would make a sailor froth at the mouth with envy. Then, their coats that fit like a pair of women's stays and caps that are hued down to fit their brains further verifies that fact. They also wear belts that would make comfortable belly?-bands for any draft horse. Who would consider them anything else but freaks. They would no doubt take good in a circus side show. There was a girl who connected up with one of the fellows and received the shock of her young life one summer day. She proceeded immediately without malice aforethought too disconnect the connection. She had seen him in a bathing suit at the beach. He looked like first one thing then another. She couldn't conceive of how his sheikish clothes deceived her so. It is advisable for all girls to beware of the dapper young sheiks. FENTRESS, VA. FENTRESS, VA. The services at Weeping Mary Baptist Church last Sunday were very good. The revival began.

AUTUMN THE TIME TO LAY POISON FOR PEACE BORERS Throughout much of the peach-growing district each of the Rocky Mountains from Canada to Florida, orchardists are troubled with the damaging work of the peach borer, the most important and serious pests of these trees and one that must be combated relentlessly if the peach is to be grown. Its injuries each year, including the cost of control measures, amount probably not less than $6,000,000, says the United States Department of Agriculture. This pest has been known for more than 150 years, is a native insect, and has demand- men continuously. Many methods have been tried for its eradication and control, but until 1915, when the Bureau of Entomology began experiments in the use of various toxic gases as a possible means of control, was any very practical method found.

The bout went the limit of 12 gruelling rounds with the former the master at all stages of the game. Firpo's right was helpless when pitted against the ring craft and superior skill of Wills'.

Firpo was knocked down in the second stanza for the count of four and was staggered in several other rounds under Wills' bombastic barrage. Firpo's remaining in the running until the final round is attributed to his gameness. He weathered the storm gallantly, while Wills rode with banners streaming to a glamorous victory sweeping his opponent out of the path that leads to championship honors. 9 NO OFFICIAL DECISION Due to the fact that the New Jersey ring laws do not allow decision to be rendered at the ring side, referees or judges could not give any official decision, but there was no question to the outcome of the fray. Firpo did not win a single round out of the replay. WILLS CAUTIOUS Although Wills kept up a steady fire administering his relentless and resourceful fighting, he fought cautiously and seldom took chances at long range stuff.

Wills almost bent the Argentine double at times, with sweeping righthanders to the body, mixed with swift jabs to the head.

LINCOLN LIONS TO MEET UNION ATLEAGUEPARK LINCOLN LIONS TO MEET UNION ATLEAGUEPARK Lion-Panther Struggle Follow On Heels of Hampton St. Paul Clash. The first big gun of the 1921 collegiate football season in Norfolk will be fired at League Park, Saturday, October 18, when Hampton meets the St. Paul machine. Following closely on the heels of this fray comes the mighty Lincoln "Lions" to squabble with the Union Panthers, Monday, October 27, instead of the 28th as stated in these columns in last week's issue of the Guide. Norfolk sport fans have turned out in grand style in the past two years to witness struggles between college eleven, thus making it possible this year to see four of the strongest aggregations in the C. I. A. A. perform. Very few non-college towns are fortunate in having the privilege to witness more than one college game of any consequence in a season. Several cities have already bidded for the 1922 Lincoln-Union classic. The two above games will bring to Norfolk a host of followers as well as members of the student bodies and alumni. A large number of the latter will be on hand to convert the town into a real college. Norfolk has been noted for its athletic activities and as a sporting center, but big college games did not seem to drift this way until two years ago. The city is now taking its place along side of the others and has fallen in line to receive the pick of the best games. Fans all over the country are watching with keen interest the progress of the Union squad, last year's champions, especially since the services of H. D. Martin the scrappy mentor has been lost. Harvey, of Washburn College will now direct the destinies of the capital city team and he is said to be one of the greatest athletes of that college. He has a wonderful nucleus to build a team around and Union admirers are waiting patiently for the first whistle to sound sending the steel and gray eleven into conflict.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 Oct. 27 TUSKEGEE GETS NEW GRID FIELD Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 18.—(A, N. P.): Historic Washington Field, the scene of many hectic gridiron battles and thrilling base ball games is about to be relegated to the "has been" class. This fact was evident Saturday morning when the ground was broken for the "Alumni Bowl", the future training field and battleground of the Tiger Clan. This field will consist of two gridirons, two baseball diamonds and a quarter-mile track with 220 yard straightway, all of which will be enclosed by concrete stands seating more than 20,000 people. The ground was broken by the John L. Webb, Hot Springs, Supreme Custodian of the Woodmen of Union and one of the most prominent graduates of Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Webb also contributed $100.00 towards the erection of the bowl. That the members of the Alumni Association are really behind the movement was indicated by the presence of so many graduates at the ground-breaking ceremony and the report of Captain A. J. Heedy, Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association that the graduates had contributed more than $1000.00 toward the movement already. Jesse O. Thomas, President of the Alumni Association, who made a special trip from Atlanta to attend the ceremony, stated that the initial contribution by the graduates was simply a starter and referred to the growing interest among the alumni in athletics at their alma mater. R. R. Taylor, Director of the Mechanical Department and Acting principal, referred to the value of athletics in school life and declared that the work on the bowl would be pushed at top speed until completed.

Highlights On Wills-Firpo Melee There has been quite a bit of double barrelled comment on the recent Wills-Firpo encounter which took place at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, September 11, in order to decide the most logical contender for the crown that bedecks the dome of William Harrison Dempsey, the Irish-Scotch-American man mauler, who is now in the "fillums" and taking life easy, watching now and then, two other maulers battle for the right to squabble with him. There is not anything at all funny or strange about that. All big events, more or less get their share of hullyballoo. Some are taking that Wills won and that's all whereas on the other hand some think that the Brown Panther should have rocked Firpo to the land of sweet dreams in double quick time. Nobody can be too sure in what they saw about the fight, unless they are some of the wise ones who are in the knowing. Even the best fisticie experts can do no more than advance opinion as they see things. Of course, all of them have a perfect right to form their conclusion from the deductions they made of the affair. But there is one sure thing and that is somebody knows something and that somebody knows more than they are willing to reveal yet, or may be at any other time. In the Wills-Firpo fight, which attracted more attention than any other fight during the year in which no championship title was involved it was a concensus of ragged opinions that the Wild Bull would gore the wiry Wills to death. But when the date of the battle drew near some of the dope shifted and Harry was favored. When the gong sounded ending the final round and the decisive lacing Firpo was received it was discovered that old man dope was knocked sprawling and panting for breath. Nearly everybody had expected a knock out one way or the other. It was generally believed if Firpo did not embrace the resin canvass for the final count, that Wills would go down and the doleful ten pronounced ere he could regain his perpendicular proportions, but it was not so either way. But the Argentine did kiss the floor and kissed it hard. SOMETHING HELD BACK From dope gathered from eye witnesses of the fight, it seems to be the opinion of all that Wills was holding something back, that he was pulling his blows and did not show any signs of trying for a knockout until the twelfth round. Now, the question is, what is he saving, what is he holding back? He did not extend himself on Bartley Madden for fear that he might crack his fins before meeting the Pampas Bull and here is something else to ponder over. Those who have followed the history of fistiana can well remember the actions of Jack Johnson, the master of all heavyweights. Johnson set out with a goal in view just like main object of Paddy Mullins, the overseer of the fistic business of Harry Wills to get a bout with the champion, Jack Dempsey, and he is leaving nothing undone to materialize that bout. No doubt he had Wills to pass up Madden in an easy manner to make things look soft for Firpo but in the meantime beat his opponent. After articles were signed to do battle with the Argentine Man of Destiny, to pass him up also to make Dempsey entertain the idea that a bout with Wills would be soft pickings for the champion. So was the case with Johnson as stated above, but after "Lil Arthur" was crowned king of the heavies, he pasted his opponents from pillar to post and did, not fail to knock them kicking when he got through playing with them. If this is what Wills is doing, some seem to think that he might be possibly playing with five, because every time he fails to knock out his opponents it hurts his chances of getting that sought for bout with Jack Dempsey. That may be so or it may be not, so long as a fighter beats all of his opponents as decisively as Wills beat Madden and Firpo he removes all shadows of doubt that he is entitled to a chance with the best that can be dug up including the champion and some more. No doubt Wills and his managers have planned their method of campaign for the championship and are doing it in the manner which they think is best, consequently there is no room for fans and followers to howl because the Panther is not more bombastic in his ring battles. WILLS LONE CONTENDER Firpo's miserable showing against the New Orleans scraper removes him from the running, though in the opinion of some scribes it has not boosted the batting average of the latter, as the lone contender of any merit. In the George Godfrey-Jack Renault flasco, neither men showed any signs of being a likely appendant for Wills or Dempsey. In that bout, it was said the winner would meet the winner of the Wills-Firpo fight to also decide the champion's next opponent for the highest in fistian. Of course Renault was awarded the decision to the disapproval of the fans, but it does not place him in the running. Tom Gibbons, who stayed the limit with Jack Dempsey and allowed Georges Carpenter to stay the limit with him, is highly spoken of as a worthy contender. Gibbons beat Carpenter, but that was not much to do. Battling Siki, the wild Senegalese, who does not show any signs of human intelligence has the gorgeous Georges smarting under defeat administered by his padded mitts. So Gibbons victory over the Frenchman is no feather in his crown and he has nothing to crow about. Young Stribling, who is showing some class is too young so far to even be considered, so the whole field of white hopes have been combed leaving the same answer still—Wills. Some one asks, "Why are the sport writers so hard on Wills?" That question can only be answered in one way and it is a way, in which these columns do not like to answer in and that is, a question of color. With Harry Wills' fistic ability and another hue, he would no doubt be the champion today—he would have had his chance anyway. It can be plainly seen by all that Harry stand out like a giant oak in a field of watermelons as the most logical contender of all times, but as most folks are prone to do, they allow their prejudice to over balance their keen sense of discretion—leaving the same answer still—Wills. Then another asks, "Who do you think would win if Dempsey and Wills meet in battle?" All this column can say is, the winner will win. WILL BE POPULAR If Harry Wills meets Jack Dempsey in a titular bout and emerged the victor, he will no doubt erase the blight and barrier that have been overshadowing the Negro pugilists since the times of Jack Johnson and will be one of the best liked fighters since Joe Gans, the old master and George Dixon, Little Chocolate, met everything that put on a boxing glove. Wills has been a gentleman during the entire career of his thirteen years of fighting and has not committed a single act that has a tendency to reflect on himself or fellow fighters, so far as can be learned. When he first went to Southampton to train, the villagers there rebelled against the idea of a fighter coming to their tranquil little hamlet. Of course their rebellion did NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE MCGRIFF AND OTTLEY COP J.&G.TROPHY McGriff and Ottley rode the crest to scintillating victory to cop the city doubles championship and the Journal and Guide Trophy, with the former rising to the crises in grand style and hearing the brunt of the battle when their opponents bore down on them with a barrage of shots that seemed almost impossible to return. McGriff and Ottley drew a bye in the opening round of the tournament in the lower bracket advancing them to the second. They played through the second and third rounds with ease until they reached the semi-finals, meeting Ward and Mainor who forced them to extend themselves a little, but the latter team was disposed of, thus advancing the former team to the finals where they met and defeated Harris and Faulk's in straight sets after a grueling, but brilliant match. Ottley seemed to have had a little difficulty in bringing himself to the task of playing real tennis, but his game was just erratic enough to non-plus his opponents and gain the necessary points in aiding his partner when he was at the height of his brilliance. In a number of volleys that put McGriff and Ottley on the defense some of the best tennis that has been seen in this section was exhibited and the winners launched a counter attack every time to push back Harris and Faulks into submission. In spite of the fact that Harris and Faulks dropped the match in straight sets, they played a game that is worthy of comment and they have the distinction of being the only team that gave McGriff and Ottley any trouble, because the latter team had been doped out to win from the beginning. New Novelty Scores Hit At The Attucks Gloria Swanson supported by an able cast in "Bluebird's 8th Wife" is the headliner at the Attucks Theatre next Monday and Tuesday with the other four days bringing up the rear with pictures worth seeing. The most recent and biggest feature of the Attucks is Novelty Night. Some good novellies are staged and one of the most unusual and most talked of was the novelty pulled off last Saturday, when $25.00 in cash was given away. In each envelope with the purchase of a ticket was a piece of coin ranging from one to fifty cents. Everyone who bought a ticket received a piece of money of some denomination. The stunt has met with the approval of all patrons. The idea is the origination of Mr. Kelly, the manager and will be carried out indefinitely. It is the first time a stunt of this kind was ever used in Norfolk. The Sparkling Four Quartette will appear on the program for next Wednesday's novelty.

Application of this chemical to peach trees for the control of the peach borer should be made in the fall after most of the moths have finished their egg-laying activities, to avoid late infestation of the trees. The time suggested varies from September 1 as far north as Michigan, to October 10 in Georgia and Texas. The method consists of simply applying the chemical to the soil around the base of the tree in a circular band and inch of two wide, care being taken that the inner part of the band is about two AMUSE AMUSEMENTS AT THE ATTUCKS THEATRE WED.-THURS.—NEXT WEEK Jack Holt, international motion picture star, who will appear at the Attucks, Theatre Wed, and Thurs., in the William DeMille production, "DON'T CALL, IT LOVE?"

A large number was out. At 8 o'clock the Rev. J. H. Hopkins preached from Amos 4 on "Idlers in the Church of God." MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Services Sunday were very good.

At 3:00 p. m., the church took part in the ordination of a deacon at Bethel Baptist Church. At night Rev. McRay, pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church, of Elizabeth City, N. C., preached from 2 Cor. 14:1. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Large numbers were in attendance of our services last Sunday. They were well rewarded for Rev. F. W. Jacobs, the associate pastor, delivered a very forcible and well prepared sermon on "Seeing Jesus," text John 12:20. At night he spoke to the elicitation of all present on the subject: "The Cost of Discipleship," text, Matt. 16:24. He made it clear that self-denial, cross-bearing and exemplifying Jesus, was apparently costly, yet one could easily afford to do so, when one considers the means at his disposal, and the short time one has to deny himself and bear his cross and exemplify Jesus. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were attended by only the adults of these organizations in accordance with the request from the Health Department. Rev. Bowling, the pastor, who has been attending the National Baptist Convention in Nashville, Tenn., will be back in time to fill the pulpit this Sunday. After the morning service he will administer the rite of baptism to a number of candidate and at 3 o'clock p.m., will administer Holy Communion. Everybody is welcome to this home-like church.

The delegates representing the fifteen charges of the Norfolk District made their splendid reports, which showed large increases in finances and membership. The annual sermon was preached by the writer and the missionary sermon by Rev. S. J. Drummond, and from what we could learn reached the standard. The excellent papers read by Drs. S. W. McKethan, L.

Space was given Mrs. Emma Fuqua and others of the local Woman's Mite Missionary Society and a splendid program conducted. Messrs. C. S. Ferebee and W. J.

Spratley read the resolution on memoirs, and we closed one of the finest and best entertained confer- ences ever held on the Shore. In conjunction with the District Conference, as has been the custom in Virginia for many years, the Sunday School Institute convened immediately at its close, Dr. C. R. Sanders and Supt. J. M. Collins were in their right office. Devotionals were conducted by Rev A. R. Montague, Mr. Joseph Church gave the words of welcome and the organization resulted in the election of Mr. Church and Mrs. Louise Byrd as secretaries. We then listened to an address by the presiding elder. Supt. James S. Collins and Mrs. Mary N. Smith, the assistant superintendent, got down to practical business and things moved off in fine style. The address by Supt. Collins on "The Theme" was a gem. Introductions Dr. F. A. Seaton, presiding elder of the Richmond District; D. A. Blake, State Superintendent A. C. E. League; A. L. Scruggs were introduced and addressed the Institute. The delegates made excellent reports and we took a recess. The evening session was full of pop, the congregation was large and full of enthusiasm. Mrs. Mamie E. Church sang a beautiful solo and Miss Sarah Borgs addressed the Institute on "The Sunday School a Place for Children." Drs. W. E. Spraatley and W. J.

Dr. Young is our big brother and is admired by the sons of Virginia. The Teachers Meeting conducted by the superintendent was a big feature and had its telling effect. Thursday afternoon at 4:45 p. m., Mrs. Aurelia B. Miller, president A. C. E.

Maryland Inter-racial Commission. 2. Mythical "Four Millions." 3. Unemployment in Mining Industry. With eight colored and thirteen white members, the Maryland Inter-racial Commission may now embark upon its inquisitional journey, looking to the discovery of ways and means which may promote the welfare of Maryland's 244,479 Negroes, centered in Baltimore, and stretching, principally, through Cumberland, Frederick, Hagerstown, Annapolis, and Cambridge. Press reports indicate that the consideration of legislation concerning the welfare of the Negroes of Maryland, and legislative recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly of 1927, are to form the principal duties of the Commission. We venture the hope, that the scope of the Commission's functions will extend beyond a legislative span. The Commission's colored personnel is a nearly one hundred per cent perfect as any personnel could be. The law, the pulpit, the press, business, and last, but not least, the refining influence of the fairer sex are present, backed by a wealth of experience and knowledge. We venture to presume that Maryland has not produced a more public-spirited and capable person, for this particular work, than Carl J. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American. The remaining members, too, have had their share of reactions from the ever present "problem." Coming down to brass tacks, however, if this Commission is to be a fact-finding commission—and we hope it is—it has no easy task before it. There are numerous outstanding situations in maryland which should be the objectives of a light of inquiry, whenever Negro welfare is being considered. For instance, the farm and farm loan situation is one of vital importance to the economic interests of Maryland Negroes. Unemployment, which is slowly increasing in Baltimore, and which is ever a menace to the "brother" could be deeply delved into. School appropriations and teachers' salaries might well be looked into. Sanitation in Negro communities is another subject which is of pressing importance. Last, but not least, that old-fashioned religion, which has as its motto "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men," and which is not only needed in Maryland but all over America, might be invoked to impress all those who persecute men because of their color, that it's all wrong; and to remind them that some time God is going to have His day in Court. With deep respect for the Commission, we wish it success, and we will back this up with prayer. According to a late press dispatch, four million Negroes in America have signed a petition asking for governmental assistance and sympathy in their "desire" to depart for Africa. This number would be nearly one half of the Negro population of the United States, an unbelievable total—a total, in fact, conclusively indicative of reckless abandonment of accuracy and patriotic sentiment. It is to be doubted in fact, that there may be 4,000 bonafide American Negroes, born under the American flag, schooled in her institutions, and ringing true to her ideals, who have the slightest desire to leave her balliwicks for a permanent residence in Africa, Asia or any other foreign country. The petition declares, it is reported that in order to avoid race con- Drs. J. W. Wright, L. P. Herring, J.-H. Ress and Mrs. Louise Byrd, respectively, showed deep research, capability and made a wonderful impression on the large audience present. All of the present officers were retained and the Institute closed one of the greatest and most profitable sessions in its history. The people were hospitable and in the best of spirits and used all diligence in guarding the interests of the large delegation. The Norfolk District is comprised of Drs. J. H. Ross, J. W. Wright, J. A. Young, S. W. McKethan, L. P. Herring, W. J. Miller, W. E. Spratley, Revs. W. J. Beckett, S. W. Fquua, A. R. Montague, S. J. Drummond, W. H. Davis, J. A. Beckett and G. E. Harrington. Notice!

Nothing could be more nonsensical and at the same time in the nature of a tragical thought. And the tragic strain is found in the truth that in the hearts of those who would persecute American Negroes, the "Back-to-Africa" call of the alleged petitioner awakens exulting hopes of an international segregation, and the ultimate appeasement of the lust for complete exorcism of the ten States. This hope, vain though it is, brings smiles of approval to those who advocate "his place" for the American Negro. And among this "hopeful" class there are those who sincerely believe that nearly "half" of the oppressed sincerely desire to give up the fight here and return "there."

Y., Sept. 17. Segregation cases before the courts in five States in this country, and the entire question of residential segregation of groups in America, depend upon the case now being carried on appeal before the Supreme Court of the United States, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. James A. Cobb, of Washington, who is conducting the case for the association, today said that similar cases were pending in St. Louis, Baltimore, and in California, Michigan and Louisiana: "The key case," said Mr. Cobb, "is that of Mrs. Helen Curtis who, because of her color was enjoined from taking title to property which she had purchased from a white property owner, on the ground that the sale violated a white property owners' agreement not to sell to Negroes. Adverse decision having been rendered by a lower court the case has been taken on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, where it will probably be advanced on the calendar. "What is involved is the question of residential segregation, not only against colored people in America, but against Catholics, Jews and any other groups of property owners may care to bar out by agreement amongst themselves. The present case, as the N. A. A. C. P. has already warned the colored people of America is fully as important, as in fact it is more important than the Louisville Segregation case, on which decision was rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1917. By the terms of that decision, no municipality may enact residential segregation into law. But property owners are now seeking to evade that decision by writing their own segregation law into agreements among themselves, not to sell to colored people. If this bar against colored people is sustained it would have the practical effect of nullifying the victory won in the Louisville case. Associated with Mr. Cobb in the conduct of the case are William H. Lewis, of Boston, former Assistant U. S. Attorney General; James P. Schick, and Henry E. Davis, of Washington, former U. S. Attorney and former Corporation Counsel for the District of Columbia. Associate Counsel, are A. B. Spintarn and Herbert K. Stockton, respectively chairman and member of the N. A. A. C. P. National Legal Committee, also Emory B. Smith. In connection with the above announcement, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stated that a fund of at least $5,000 would be needed to right the case to a conclusion. "We spent upwards of $15,000 to have twelve condemned to death in Arkansas and to free 67 others from long prison terms," said James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. Secretary. "The victory in those cases was a blow against neonage. We propose now to strike a blow equally powerful against residential segregation in America. Every colored man and woman who is able, for the sake of themselves and of their own people, ought to contribute to help obtain another decisive victory." Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 18.—(P. N. S.): W. H. Dick, president of the Southern Land Alluvial Association and the Mississippi Flood Control Association, and W. R. Satterfield, chairman of the executive board of the alluvial association, left here for Washington, D. C., this week for a conference with W. W. Husband, commissioner general of immigration with a view of getting first hand information on the possibility of attracting high class European farmers to the delta, which has been deserted by Negroes going North to industrial centers. ton, D.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 18.—(P. N.S.): Over six thousand members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of the World and of the Household of Ruth from all parts of the country assembled in Pittsburgh last week and held most interesting and successful meetings. The delegates spent a busy week from the time they were formally welcomed to the city Monday morning by Mayor William A. Magee at Soldiers Memorial Hall until the close of the sessions on Friday night. The meetings of the B. M. C. were held in Central Baptist Church, of which the Rev. A. Augustus Jones, is pastor; and the meetings of the Household of Ruth were held in Bethel A. M. Episcopal Church, of which the Rev. J. C. Anderson is pastor. The large auditoriums of each of these churches were crowded at each session. The competitive drill staged at forbes Field Thursday afternoon was indeed a spectacular and thrilling affair as the various patriarchies vied with each other for first honors. The first prize of 300 was won by the Alexandria Va., Patriarchy lead by Captain Smith, second prize by Baltimore Patriarchy No. 92, lead by Captain Harper; and third prize by Washington, D. C. Patriarchy No. 42 by Col. Ed. Edwards. The various competing patriarchies were well filled men and executed the many military maneuvers so well that it was hard for the ordinary spectators to decide which were the best or best. The reports of the various offices of the B. M. C. showed that the Order has made remarkable progress both in finances and membership during the past two years, words of commendation were given to the Grand Secretary, James F. Freedham, Philadelphia, and Honorey P. Slaughter, Editor of the Old Fellows Journal, for splendid reports of their respective departments. The social functions of the week are exceedingly brilliant in every detail. The monster parade on Thursday morning was a splendid fair and one that did great credit to the order as well as members of the race. The Washington, D. C., band, the only visiting musical organization lending the convention, under leadership of W. Calvin Chase, made an exceedingly favorable impression. The local entertainment committee under the leadership of Colin W. Anderson and Mrs. Mara Wells left no stones unturned for the smooth and successful running of both branches of the largest fraternal order among Negroes the world. The national officers were re-elected are as follows: Edward H. Morris, Chicago, Ill., Grand Master; Dr. I. L. Roberts, of Boston, Mass., Deputy Master; E. B. Baranco, of Baton Rouge, La.

N. P.): Rev. Edward Brewer, aged 49, pastor of the Scottsville Colored Baptist Church, was shot and killed today when he was mistaken for a ground hog by a fellow hunter, Ulysses Denmark, also of Scottsville. Corner Bunting of Oxford investigated the shooting and declared it to have been accidental. The two men were almost opposite each other in a small clump of trees; Rev. Brewer raised his head out of the bushes and as he did so, Denmark fired. The victim's head was blown off. He leaves a widow and one daughter. FUNNY SORT OF SNAKES Altoona, Pa., Sept. 18.—(A. N. P.): Persons living along Piney Creek, in the southern end of Blair County, who know snakes are greatly puzzled by a strange species which, prior to this summer, they never have seen before. The reptiles resemble black snakes, except that they are speckled with white, giving them a polka-dot appearance. They are partial to wrapping themselves around the limbs of fruit three and three have been killed were six feet in length. U. S. INSPECTS MORE THAN 80 MILLION ANIMALS IN YEAR Slaughter of nearly 80,000,000 animals in establishments operating under Federal meat inspection during the year ended June 30, 1924, is shown by the figures recently compiled by the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. The exact total of 79,814,060, which is more than 6,000,000 more animals than were slaughtered during any previous fiscal year. Hogs were the most numerous of all classes of stock, there being 54,416,481 of these animals slaughtered. This number, nearly three-fifths of the total, is also a new high mark. Calves slaughtered during this record-breaking year numbered 4,667,948, which is also the largest number on the records of the United States meat-inspection service for any year. Cattle and sheep killed under the supervision of Government inspectors numbered 9,-88,652 and 11,505,001, respectively. This record slaughter of animals indicates an increased total meat consumption in the United States, as would be expected with the growing population. It also shows what a comprehensive service the United States Department of Agriculture renders in the inspection of the Nation's meat supply.

P.; Cools Leading For LaFollette And Morton Pulls For Democrats Chicago, Ill., Sept. 18—(A. N. P.)—With November 1st scarcely six weeks away, "National headquarters" is beginning to show signs of greater activities. The practical "business program" which the new young cheftains under the command of Clarence Matthews have put into effect, is beginning to show results and according to reports, organizations of the various states and assignment of speakers by Col. Roscoe Simmons are proceeding at a rapid gait. Notables from every section of the country have been callers at the shrine reporting the status of affairs "back home" and estimating the inroads possible for La-Follette and Davis. At the Wrigley Building, Chicago, where the National Committee holds forth, considerable difference is noted in the arrangements this year as contrasted with 1920. Then the Auditorium Hotel housed the committee. The colored bureau was shunted off down one corridor where it was made a rendezvous for many of the bréthren and where they very rarely cane in contact with the powers that be. Some one remarked that they hardly knew those days what was going on. This year Director Matthews, Col. Simmons, and Miss Hallie Q. Brown all have offices on different floors and are attached to the departments with which they function. In 1920 there were a bare ten or a dozen employees. This year there are forty-six (in the Chicago headquarters) and they are working in many of the departments, white, as well as colored. "We are endeavoring to drive home to the great army of colored Republican voters the fact that the race is getting a new deal politically and that they can rely on Calvin Coolidge, Charles Dawes, and William H. Butler for real consideration and a square deal as American citizens," said Clarence Matthews. "To accomplish this end we are not using brass band methods, but employing a systematic business-like program of education which is certain not only to show the logic of fighting out our battles within the party and advance the Negro in influence with the Republican party, but demonstrate that he is interested in the civic betterment of the entire country, is not seeking patronage alone, and that when we demand the support of the party in our fight, our rights as citizens it will be with the clear consciousness of having earned that support. At the LaFollette headquarters here, Victor Cools, a new comer in politics who formerly was a labor union organizer, is attached in charge of colored organization and has one or two employees in the office there. Hubert Harrison is speaking for the Third Party cause. Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson was announced as one of the speakers and organizers, but in a recent communication from her home in Wilmington, Delaware declared the statement was "premature and unauthorized." At New York the Democrats are planning an aggressive campaign under the leadership of Ferdinand Q. Morton, the able colored Tammany leader who has been placed in charge of the colored bureau of the Democratic National Committee. Hon. Wm. H. Lewis of Boston, who recently deserted the Republican fold, Roscoe Conklin Bruce, formerly superintendent of schools in Washington, D. C., and Lester Walton of the New York World, are associated with him. The Democrats have certainly shown an ability to pick out men of high calibre and ability who, it seems, certain, will be able to give point and pep to the effort to show the brethren, "there's more than one way." TOM HILL ENHIBITS LARGE PEARS AT TROY, ALA. Troy, Ala., Sept. 18.—(P. N. S.): Thomas Hill, a prosperous fruit-grower, who resides on the Montgomery road about three miles from Troy, brought to this city two pears weighing about two pounds. Hill stated that they were of the Magnolia variety, and that he bought the trees from the Lindley Nursery, of Pomo, N. C., about two years ago. He said there were just four pears on this young tree, but their immense size created a great deal of interest in the community and he decided to place them on exhibition in the city.

Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 18—(A. N. P.)—Ligth has broken into the sessions of the 44th annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention with signs pointing toward the final re-unification of the opposing Baptist factions which split in 1915. Among other outstanding features of the convention have been a memorial funeral service held at the opening in honor of the late Andrew J. Stokes, treasurer of the convention; two messages from President Coolidge; welcome addresses by white and colored leaders of the city; the re-election of President Williams; the subscription for the new Sunday School building and the pronounced stand against any new "isms" or ideas in the Baptist doctrine. The messages of Coolidge evoked the first wild demonstration of the convention. After five minutes of applause a motion was made to appoint a committee to draft the sentiment of the convention and send it to the president. This draft assured the president of the interest of the Baptists of America in the work he has undertaken and advised him of their continued support of sound American principles.

SILAGE-MAKING HINTS BY UNITED STATES SPECIALISTS Corn silage is best prepared when the corn is cut at a stage containing about 65 cr 70 per cent moisture, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. This may be told when the lower leaves on the stock are turning brown, about 90 per cent of the The length to which the silage is cut should be from one-half to 1 inch. Silage cut this short will pack better and the silage will hold its maximum tonnage. Also, there chances for the silage to spoil are considerably reduced. In filling the silo packing is essential: The common practice is to keep the sides slightly higher than the center and to tramp the whole surface thoroughly. If the silage is too dry to pack well, water should be added. This is best done by directing a hose in the blower. Well-packed and moistened silage is less likely to mold. When the silo is filled the silage should be covered to prevent spoilage. A layer of cut corn or sorghum stalks from which ears or grain have been removed does this effectively. SPECIAL NOTICE!

Pistol Toting Too many tragedies occurring in this city are directly traceable to the promiscuous carrying and use of firearms. There is an element of young people who feel that they have not reached their majority until they have required the habit of pistol toting.

There is an element of young people who feel that they have not reached their majority until they have acquired the habit of pistol toting. Of course, they do not start out with criminal intentions; they simply adopt the fad, and like all other dangerous fads, it often has its sad results. There never was any sense in an ordinary citizen going about the streets of a well policed city with a pistol on his person, unless he was engaged in some occupation which obviously made an attack upon his life likely at any time. In the majority of shooting cases it is shown that the murderer or would-be murderer had no farther to go for his weapon than his hip pocket, and most likely a further investigation would show that this had been the keeping place of the dangerous article all the while. Of course the callous criminal and gunman will carry his pistol in spite of all the law, but in any city the murders checked up to this class of people are far in the minority. It is the ordinary fellow with ostentatious respectability who loses his temper and finds his pistol at the same time that runs up the murder total. By a severe tightening of the statute regarding the carrying of concealed weapons it should be made extremely difficult and resultingly hazardous for people to go about the city armed. A mental weakling walking around with a pistol in his pocket is a distinct public menace at all times. Editorial Page of Country," Hold Good This Year? Maine is the first State to hold an election in a Presidential year. It has become a saying that "As goes Maine so goes the country." Will that hold good this year, when strife and division in both the old parties are greater than ever before, and when there are some ten other parties in the field with Presidential candidates of their own, the most formidable of which is the LaFollette third party movement Maine held its election on Tuesday, September 9, and the Republicans swept the State by increased majorities over previous years, electing the Governor, the United States Senator and the four Congressmen. The Democratic candidates made the fight on the straight issue against the klan, which supported the Republican nominees, while the latter contented themselves with having nothing to say about the klan. It will be remembered that the Democratic candidate for Governor, Mr. William R. Pattangall, was one of the most outspoken opponents of klan influence in the Democratic convention, in New York, in June. Maine, like New Hampshire and Vermont, is mostly Protestant, with only a few Catholics and foreigners in the citizenship, and the three States invariably belong in the Republican column. The Republicans are elated over the way Maine voted and the Democrats are cast down. It is said that as a result of the Maine voting the Republicans will continue to receive klan support where they can get it without having anything to say about the klan, while the Democrats are so upset that they may drop the klan issue, or subordinate it in future. They will hardly be able to do so, however, in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, where there are many Catholics, Jews, Negroes and foreign people who insist that the klan issue is the only vital one in the campaign. The Republicans figure to win in all of those States, with the Protestant and klan vote, as well as in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, where the klan is said to control the Republican machines. The situation is one of the most contradictory and perplexing that has arisen in American politics, and just what the final outcome will be is not written on the wall; not yet. Lewis and Fortune Will Support Davis The defection of Mr. William H. Lewis of Boston from President Coolidge and the Republican party in the pending campaign has been re-enforced by that of T. Thomas Fortune, who has written Mr. Lewis and Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt to that effect. Mr. Lewis is one of the outstanding men of the race, one of its best lawyers and public speakers. Mr. Fortune is a veteran journalist of forty years' active service and is still going strong. Both these men are old enough and wise enough to know what they are doing, and can be relied upon to make their position clear, as the campaign progresses. The New York Age, which has long been one of the most dependable of Republican apologists, has been giving the party some severe and persistent drubbing ever since the Harding Administration began to show the clover foot and to backslide on Republican principles and traditions in dealing with our group, in discussing Mr. Lewis's defection, states the case with direct frankness, while insisting that "Republican shortcomings must be corrected within the party and by the leaders of the party," in the following: "The truth of these strictures made by Mr. Lewis cannot be gainsaid. The practice of exclusion from office was exemplified in the case of the minister to Haiti, the register of the Treasury, the collectors of customs at various Southern ports, the Internal Revenue collectors at Atlanta, Jacksonville, Hawaii, and other places, besides the many posts in the consular service from which the colored occupants were ejected by Secretary Bryan, in order to find places for deserving Democrats. "The practice of excluding applicants of darker skins from the civil service by requiring photographs to be attached to their applications, a Democratic device, has been continued under the Republicans with the same drastic intolerance. The petty and humiliating barriers raised to segregate the two races in the departments at Washington, and in many of the offices throughout the country, still remain in force, regardless of any change of administration. Promotion has been denied those who have deserved advancement, solely on the ground of color." Mr. Fortune says that, "unless we wisely divide our vote in the Northern and Western States, a condition of disfranchisement and lawless persecution and class legislation will be evolved just like that which exists in the Southern States, and that to prevent it we must have representation in all of the major parties." When Rich Men's Sons Do Murder "Thou shalt not kill!" was thundered out of Mount Sinai, and all Christian peoples have adopted stringent laws against those guilty of killing their fellow man. The constant complaint of those who make public opinion is that as a Nation we hold life too cheaply, and a high authority recently showed by statistics that we are the most murderous people on the earth. This is said to be possible because murderers find it easy to escape punishment for their crime against human life, because of the laws delay and the sharp practices of lawyers, who succeed in confusing the facts and consequently the juries to whom they appeal, and because of the mohocratic mass which controls so many people. REVIEW And COMMENT BY WILLIAM BRITTON Judge Runyon Federal Judge Runyon upheld the dignity of the courts when he declined to issue a warrant for the arrest of Luis Angel Firpo on an affidavit submitted to him by a group The notorious Chicago case in which two young men, members of trich families, graduates of a university, kidnapped a boy fourteen years of age and murdered him in cold blood and endeavored to conceal the body in a way to escape detection is a case in point. The murder was committed with brutal deliberation and apparently simply to satisfy a blood lust it is difficult to understand. The young men, both under twenty, showed all thru the long trial that they were as cold bloodedly inclined as hardened criminals. They plead guilty of the kidnapping and murder, and the issues were argued upon related questions of criminality and sanity, and all that, and all the country was interested in the progress of the trial. The Illinois law gives the judge discretion in imposing the death or life sentence, and Justice John R. Caverly decided to impose a sentence of life imprisonment for the murder and an additional ninety-nine years for the kidnapping. The Judge said he was moved to his decision "chiefly by the age of the defendants, boys of 18 and 19 years. It is not for the court to say that he will not in any case enforce capital punishment, but he believes it is within his province to decline to impose the sentence of death on persons who are not of full age." The decision was received by a wide division of opinion on the part of the responsible newspapers of the country, but for the most part the majority appear to regard it as a miscarriage of justice, due to the fact that the young men are members of wealthy families, who would have received the death penalty if they had been boys of poor parentage. At the bar of justice rich and poor should have the same treatment. There is too much murder in the land. There is too much law breaking in the land. Contempt of the life and property of others is dragging the Nation down and will ruin it if there shall not come about a radical reformation. Certain righteous defenders of America's morals suspect that Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine heavyweight, is a lightweight when it comes to observing the social proprieties. They have possessed themselves of telegrams alleged to have been sent by Firpo to a certain senorita, which lead them to suspect that the friendship between the two on the steamer that brought the fighter here for his bout with Wills was such as to justify his deportation as an undesirable alien. In one of the telegrams, sent more than a year ago, Firpo expresses gladness at the senorita's recovery from an illness and sends "embraces." Another is in the same tenor. It is said that they are all in the same tenor. Clearly, that is a reprehensible exhibit. No prizefighter can expect to be welcomed by highly moral America who telegraphs embraces either by document or engagement ring. No one will be deceived by Canon Chase's earnest smelling of Firpo's morals into the belief that America is really meticulous about the amounts of incoming aliens. It is common knowledge that Europeans with a mageed morals enter the port of New York every day unmolested. Some of them are cordially welcomed, and some in the course of time, marry American heiresses. Why, then, the excitement about Firpo and the companion of his recent boat trip? The answer is that Firpo was about to engage in a prize-fight that certain reformers in New York and New Jersey were anxious to prevent. It was hoped by blackening his character sufficiently to embroil him with the Immigration Department and perhaps to obtain his arrest and detention in time to break up the fight. The episode is worth public thought for the light it throws on the business of social reform when it runs amuck. In order to break up a prize-fight held in a state where it is a legal performance, a high churchman and a group of church orgainzations have demeaned themselves to the status of scandal-hunters. An appointment is sought with the President of the United States who, it is urged, should order Firpo deported in the interest of the purity of the immigration law. As if the President has not already all the national issues that his slender back can carry this year, here is another—the precise relationship between a South American prize-fighter here on a temporary sojourn, and a Cuban senorita, who has never been permitted to land. So is the round-about fight being conducted against legalized pugilism. REVIEW And COMMENT REVIEW And COMMENT Judge Runyon Federal Judge Runyon upheld the dignity of the courts when he declined to issue a warrant for the arrest of Luis Angel Firpo on an affidavit submitted to him by a group of reformers and churchmen purporting to show that the Argentine had violated the laws of the United States and was subject to deportation to his native heath, a move instituted ostensibly for maintaining the wonted sacredness of this nation's statutes, but plainly having for its purpose the preventing of a boxing contest between the man from South America and an American Negro, a proceeding entirely permissible under the laws of the sovereign state of New Jersey. Certainly, as the learned judge inferred in his opinion dismissing the request, no honest court could with dignity lend its influence to such subterfuge. But the measures resorted to by the reformers are enough to shame those who pretend to be in the reforming business with none other than pure motives. Every one respects an honest reformer, or an honest reform movement, whether they agree with it or not, but when such efforts have behind them nerverpt motives, the whole business and all connected with it falls in public esteem. Judge Runyon and everybody else knew that the real issue before him was camouflaged, and it is disgusting to think how these churchmen willfully acted a falsehood. They with unclean hands went before the bar praying the power of the court to make clean the country's laws. If the boxing laws of New Jersey are not to the liking of Mr. Canon Chase and others of his ilk, why don't they have the sincerity to concentrate an attack upon them, rather than stoop to questionable methods to block what the law condones. We are interested in knowing how much further effort is going to be made to deport Mr. Firpo, however, I hold the candid opinion that the tamed "Bull" will rest here unmolested as long as he pleases and depart when he is so inclined. Maine Election Marine Election The comfortable majority rolled up by the Republicans of Maine in the election last week which resulted in Senator Brewster being chosen governor over his Democratic rival, Mr. Pattangall need not in any sense be viewed as a Ku Klux Klan victory, in spite of allegations repeatedly made that this organization supported the Republican nominee. Maine is traditionally Republian and that generally by large pluralities. There is no reason to believe that it would have gone otherwise this year. In fact, it is practically safe to reason that even if klan alliance had been charged against the Democrats, Maine would still have gone Republian. In a state where the political victories have been going one way thrust the years, it is unreasonable to charge that another victory for the benefitted party was the result of klan affiliation. Klan influence on politics cannot be judged upon the outcome of the gubernatorial election in Maine, and those who are attempting to do that are simply taking themselves more seriously than many others are taking them. Judge Caverly and The Millionaire Murders Judge Caverly, who sentenced the two youthful Chicago millionaire confessed murders and kidnappers to the State penitentiary at Joliet for the rest of their natural lives, seems to have brought down a storm of ridicule and denunciation upon himself. The tenor of public opinion appears to have demanded for these slayers the gallows. Certainly the law permits of either life imprisonment or the sentence of death as expiation for the crime of first degree murder, but it contemplates that in every instance where the circumstances of the act were exceedingly revolting, almost beyond the pale of credibility, SATURDAY, September 20, 1924 the death sentence shall be the penalty. However, the law by virtue of making life imprisonment a penalty alternate to death, also contemplates that in the commission of murder under the most revolting circumstances, a full mental responsibility must be apparent before the latter punishment is provided. RACIAL By GEORGE E. HAYNES (Far A. N. P.) "During the first fifty years after Emancipation the freedmen and their children were fortunate in that their education was provided by missionary schools organ- It is not fair to charge those who demanded the death penalty for Leopold and Leob with having a thirst for blood. The fact, is life imprisonment sentences are so frequently made a fave by the pardoning powers that few people regard them any more as adequate punishment for dire murders. There is no doubt that society would in every case of life sentence feel perfectly revenged, if an all too early pardon did not thwart the ends of justice. And it is largely this fear that haunts those who would invoke the gallows in the case of the millionaire youths of Chicago. Lawyers may paint distressing pictures of a long monotonous life behind prison walls as greater punishment than death itself, but the public knows that only a few of those deserving of this life of punishment ever get it. BOOK CHAT By Mrs. MARY WHITE OVINGTON (For N. A. A. C. P.) The Negro From Africa to America There have been so many books upon the Negro in Africa and America, that one seans critically the advent of a new one. What does it stand for? What has it to say that has not been said already? One can answer regarding Dr. Weatherford's book that it stands for the opinion of the advance guard among the enlightened South today, and that while it does not say much that is new it gathers together a great deal of material. The first half deals with the Negro in Africa and the slave trade. The second half with the Negro today in his various relations to the life of the country. It is a source book rather than an original treatise, more than half the closely printed 450 pages being in quotation marks. The writer has read widely and has woven his material cleverly together ending each chapter with a short, well-balanced opinion of his own. When one remembers the impassioned diatribes of Smith in his "Color-Line;" the white-washed studies of Stone, plantation lord of Mississippi; even the pleading of Edgar Gardner Murphy for Noblesse Oblige, one doubly appreciates Dr. Weatherford and sees how far a portion of the South has traveled in the new century. We are shown the hideousness of the slave trade and of slavery. We read quotations from Fannie Kemble and Olmsted as often as from Smedes. And when we come to the present time, we are shown unsparingly the horrors of lynching and the utterly inadequate provisions for colored children in the public schools. The book is lacking in some ways. It omits the reconstruction period where we should have welcomed the new material that could so easily be found today but that with the death of the men who participated in that movement will soon be lost; and it shows its Southern bias by its omissions. Half the book is on present day conditions, health, housing, business, education, legal status. To give up whole chapters to the economic condition of the Negro and the law without naming the N. A. A. C. P., was really an achievement. It is interesting, too, to notice that while the beginnings of Hampton and Tuskegee are cited, not a word is said of the founding of the colleges, Atlanta, Fiske, Talladega. The wonderful beginnings of Negro education by Northern philanthropists are ignored. But since the material quoted by Dr. Weatherford is often written or compiled by workers in these organizations, one is meticulous to demand anything more. And in the Review of Sources, the last chapter of the book, a scholarly statement is made regarding each of the one hundred odd volumes, representing every shade of opinion, from which the book is made up. Especially the gath- RACIAL CONTACT "During the first fifty years after Emancipation the freedmen and their children were fortunate in that their education was provided by missionary schools organized and taught by Christian missionaries from most of the principal Protestant denomination. Along with the school grew the church. Some of these churches are independent bodies that have had the friendly counsel and financial support of white fellow-churchmen. Others have had increasingly less contact with white Christians. Some have been retained as integral parts of the parent organizations and while often in separate congregations have had fellowship in central counsels and the general organization. The friendly touch and the sympathetic ideal of brotherhood though sometimes tenuous has been maintained. There has been, however, another group of contacts between white and Negro people in America probably involving more phases of their common life than the relationship of teacher and student or that of fellow-churchman. Such relations, too, have involved millions of the masses of the white people who have never assimilated the liberalizing culture of the white world and millions of the Negro people who have never known the touch of the white missionary teacher or the liberal churchman. These contacts are those of landowners and poverty stricken, ignorant tenant frequently exploited; of the industrial employer prospecting principally for profits with little time or inclination to look beneath the swarthy exterior of the "hands" that handle the logs and timbers at his sawmill and the cotton bales at his warehouses and compress, the pick and shovel on the public work or the brick and mortar in building the city skyscraper. A state-wide conference of Negroes in Georgia in 1923 cited low wages of farm labor, bad housing conditions in cities and rural districts, and bad working conditions on plantations of absentee owners among the principal reasons for the Negro exodus from that state. A similar conference of Negro leaders in Mississippi, and later a delegation before the legislature of the same state, cited low wages, bad housing, unfair distribution of public funds for schools and other institutions and insecurity of Negro life as producing similar results in migration. There are white salesmen in the stores; or, in the streets and byways of the Negro neighborhood they paddle their ware of all descriptions to be paid for on the instalment plan. So often does the Negro's part in these transactions prove unpleasant and unprofitable that their views with misgivings, as a Greek bearing gifts, any white person who comes to his door. Then, too, there are contacts with the many representatives of the law from the policeman on the beat to the judge on the bench' and, like the disfavored generally, the Negro gets short shift. A community or a state in the South may be in commotion over some political question and the voters are called upon to decide; either tacitly or openly, as in a school election in an Okla- ering together of information regarding the Religious Life of the Negro and the Negro and education is an achievement. One gets for the first time a clear statement of the number and extent and work of the various religious denominations and a summarizing of the situation of Negro education, public and private. One is truly thankful for the description of the functions of the various funds, General Education Board, Slater Phelps-Stokes, Jeans, Rosenwald, and lastly, one is grateful for the capitalizing of the word "Negro." "No man can grow," Dr. Weatherford says, "who does not have forced upon him the responsibility of his own life." He urges the South to give the Negro greater self-expression. He would, for instance, greatly limit the franchise and then have it open to all. He suggests that the Southern States require proof that the voter has completed a certain number of grades in school. Then make the schools better and a new group of voters would grow up of intelligence and character. It does no harm to hope so. This, one notes, is all that many Negroes ask for. This Southern man has written a Booker T. Washington book, and has done it with sympathy and erudition. --- homa city recently, Negroes are not expected or allowed to vote. In Northern cities to which they are moving by hundreds of thousands many respectable families have had their homes bombed, their lives threatened or their peace otherwise disturbed when seeking to occupy houses with modern conveniences in blocks where fire police, sanitation and other city facilities are provided. In the majority of the cases contacts the Negro experiences little or none of that kindly consideration and brotherly spirit which accents the benevolent minded white man. In later years, as more than three-fourths of the Negroes have learned to read, they see in the newspapers more information about the lynching bee than about the colporteurs of Bibles; they read and feel more about segregation and about the determination of their white brothren to set them off as a thing apart than about brotherhood and good will. Leaders of both races have become awakened to the broad, deep chasm of separation which the erosion of prejudice, proscription and misunderstanding has made between the two races, as the relation of master and man and mistress and maid disappeared during the past generation. The new friendly relations upon the basis of man to man and woman to woman grow up slowly and often only in isolated situation. To meet this condition a few interracially-minded men and women of both races scattered here and there in churches and schools and occasionally in the busy market of business have set themselves to the task of changing the character of the contacts of everyday life between the millions of these two races. They have recognized and undertaken to remove many of the distinctions and injustices under which the Negro as an American citizen labors. To do this is doubles a large order, because the Negro has been developing an aloofness and particularly because the crust of public opinion has discounted the capacities of Negroes, has shut them off from many opportunities of achievement and has used their limited achievement under the restrictions as proof of their lack of capacity to achieve. The surprising thing, however, has been the remarkable success that has attended this "Interracial Movement" pioneered by a few real statesmen. It has penetrated the public school system in the South and converted communities and states to the idea of public support for Negro education, following the lines and results of the pioneer work of mission schools which demonstrated the capacities of Negro children to measure up to all tests of modern American education. ```markdown ``` The Thought --Then the Act Put buying thoughts into your advertising, then busy folks will think of you when they reach for the phone.
