AGGRAGATING PAPA PAPA, ABOUT TWENTYFIVE YOUNG-MEN CALLED TO SEE ME YESTERDAY-AND EVERYONE PROPOSED! I SUPPOSE YOU ACCEPTED ONE'S PROPOSAL. WHY NO! I WAS SURPRISED AT SO MANY WANTING TO MARRY!! SURPRISED! DON'T YOU EVER INTEND TO MARRY!!? OH YES! SOME DAY-BUT IT'S MYSTERIOUS WHY, SO MANY CAME-AND ALL PROPOSED! DIDN'T YOU SEE THE SIGN! PUT ON THE FRONT DOOR? HUSBAND WANTED SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924 AGGRAGATING PAR TWENT MEN O ME YE EV PO LOOKING BACK ON "THE GOOD DAYS" LOOKING BACK ON "THE GOOD DAYS" "It's perfectly natural for a man to look back ten or fifteen years and think of them as the Good old days gone forever," said Mr. E. Saunders, who manages the Federal Clothing Store, at 434 Main Street. "You know, it's like the old Harvard Grad, who returns to Cambridge and looks at each college building and at each land mark so affectionately, thinking of his happy college days. And when he looks at the present day undergrads walking around the campus he imagines that they can't compare with those fine follows he used to pal with. "The funny thing about it all," added Mr. Saunders, with a wide-open smile, "is that these good old days weren't so very good whorl compared to present times—only most men don't care to admit it. "For example," he pointed out, "how many people fifteen years ago had automobiles? Just a few You had to be rich to own a "devils engine" as they called them then. But now-a-days almost every family has a car, or intends to get one shortly, and it's all because one no longer has to put down a thousand dollars or so in cold cash. Selling cars on installation has helped millions of people to enjoy the countless pleasures afforded by the automobile. "It's the same think with furniture. Years ago people had to get along with what they had until they could afford to pay cush for a new home. But not now-adays. No sirege! A young couple getting married buy a good home at the start and pay as they go along. "Why people are even dressing better than they ever did before. And who will deny that a man or woman doesn't feel happier when wearing good clothes? People are buying their clothes as they buy their autos and furniture—on time payments. A man doesn't wear a shabby suit until he can afford to get a new one. He usually has an account at some reliable clothing store that offers its patrons the privilege of a charge account—like our store in this city. "As a matter of fact, added Mr. Saunders, "so strong has this habit of buying clothing on deferred payments become, that we are offering as our store at 434 Main St., does—the opportunity of buying clothing on credit. "Am I right," Mr. Saunders asked the Journal and Guide reporter, "when I say the best days are the ones we are having right now? We have better clothes, Better homes, and better opportunities to enjoy ourselves than ever before." "Right you are," replied the reporter, and he took his hat as Mr. Saunders became busily engaged with other matters.

BOOKERS STILL ON RAMPAGE; LAMBAST THE HARRISON HIGH TO THE TUNE OF 27-O SCORE Bookers Still On Rampage Lambasts Harrison High To The Tune of 27-0. The Booker. Washington high school squad is still on the rampage, decisively lambasting Harrison high school, of Roanoke to the tune of 27-0 at League Park last Friday. The much heralded Harrison Hi failed to live up to the record accorded it and displayed poor football playing to have beaten Armstrong, of Washington last season. The ripping and tearing, backs of the local team had little difficulty in driving through the line of the visiting eleven, though at times, the Roanoke school showed wonder, spurring a strong and good gain and three first downs. The Bookers scored the first touchdown early in the 'opening period, when Cole squirmed thru the mass of wrigging bodies and sprinted fifteen yards for the tally. After this, Washington almost scored at will, making three more touchdowns and making good two free tries for extra points.

Robertson, Clerk. ns Eme Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 16—In the first game of the season Morehouse was held to a scoreless tie by Benedict College. The game was hard played from start to finish with Morehouse the aggressor. The Morehouse Tigers made 9 first downs to 8 by the visiting team. Harvey had a hard lack of experience due to the fact that nearly all of the line was new material and most of the backfield. The entire game was played in Benedict's territory, with the exception of the third quarter when a blocked kick put the ball in Morehouse's territory. Benedict faced the ball and tried a drop-kick which was blocked, but covered by a Benedict player. Benedict attempted another field goal but the kick was wild. Phil Cockrel, pitcher for the Hildale team, has the credit of pitching the first ball in a Colored World Series, which was a strike Hawkins, first baseman of the Kansas City Monarchs was the first player at bat in a Colored World Series and had the first ball pitched to him called a strike. He also made the first hit, a single. Cockrel, of Hildale made the first error. Hawkins of the Monarch made the first run. The first run in a Colored World Series was made in the sixth inning and by the Kansas City Monarchs of the Western Colored League. The first game was played on Friday, October 3, in Philadelphia, Pa., on an ideal Indian summer day. E RALLY TO NS IN TOUGH GO Alexander L. G. Speed Pindle (c) C. Winfield Coleman R. G.

Coach Harris has been trying various combinations in the hope of breaking butfeld aggregation, cal-calling has been done by Legree, "Bob" Johnson, "Bill" Coley, and Underwood. With Wallace, Washington, Fuller, McLenore and Bailey to draw from, Coach Harris should have a good backfield to follow the openings made by his all-ready heavy line. BY P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Hampton, Va., Oct. 11—Unleashing a furious, relentless attack, when the hope of their supporters was at its lowest ebb, Hampton Institute vanquished the powerful machine of Virginia Seminary and University of Virginia, in ability to fight brilliantly and courageously, when every break of the game seemed unfavorable. Balked by the wonderful defense of her opponent, through the first three quarters, and by costly fumibles under the shadow of Seminary's goal posts in attempts to score, the "seasiders" gamely stuck to their guns. In the last quarter, however, with half of the time elapsed, the Hampton player jumped up the steady battering of Seminary's line and opened up an effective nerial attack. A game worth seeing needs two hard-playing eleven that are fighting for victory. Seminary was exactly that kind of a team. She had a quarterback which shrttd had a quarterback who was capable of all an-round game. She had a line and backfield which were brilliant in their work against the additions from the opposing team. O'Brien OPENS WRITE in RUSH Gunn kicked off for Hampton to Seminary's 20-yard line. Lanier reeled off 15 yards before being hauled down. One yard made by Lanier, two yards made by Watson and then a penalty—the gave Seminary a first down. Hampton stiffened and Whidby was thrown for a 3-yard loss on next play. Whidby then kicked to Hampton's 24-yard line. It was from this point that Hagan began his drive. That offer was powerful and thrilling, netted 69 yards before a fumble threw away Hampton's chance of scoring in the first quarter. Constant hammering, good generalship, the old fighting spirit, and a wonderful shoestring of a forward pass, *Hargrove to Jacobs*, paved the way for the final victory. Both teams were thwarted in their attempts to score in the first Fighting gallantly during the third Seminary score and broke up almost every try at forward-passing which the Lynchburg team attempted. Jacobs was back in the second half. He was soon running the team with his old-time headiness. Besides running up punts well, Jacobs made several good gains. One was 20 yards. Gunn missed an attempt in third quarter for a 45-yard dropkick. A little before the touchdown was made, Hampton and worked the ball within the top yard. Jacobs topped it when Thatcher was injured. He made a first down and then fumbled, thereby losing a chance to score.Gunn's second attempted drop-kick failed. Seminary took possession of the ball on her 20-yard line. Whidby kicked. Hampton's ball was on her 48-yard line. Hragrove passed to Jacobs; Jacobs made a brilliant catch, but was injured when tackled. Baker substituted for him. Another pass, Gunn to mimic "Jones," had been made. Ball was on Seminary's 18-yard line. On two plunges Mansfield made first down to put ball on 4-yard line. Hargrove and Baker gained to put ball on 1-yard line. With one down to go Mansfield made the winning score and Baker kicked extra point. Hampton—7 Va. Sem.—6 Hampton—7 L. E. L. T. Lea L. T.

DEFEATS NEWPORT NEWS 'Y' SQUAD The toddler aggregation of the Newport News Y. M. C. A. was decisively beaten by the Norfolk Athletic Club in a game marred with numerous fumbles, penalties and intermingled with comicalities at League Park Monday, before a sprinkling of fans perched here and there on the bleachers. A spite of it, the team was not disappointed; it gave the local squad the long waited chance of uncovering their stuff, enabling the coach to get the low down on the season's material. The visiting team was clearly outclassed and did not have a possible chance of tallying. All members of the local team played well, especially Jordan at guard, Theon Robinson, Billiards at Robinson, Knox, Williams and Whitechurch in the backfield. Robinson and Pattie Whitechurch did spectacular sprint stunts to the delight of bleachers.

Couch Wilson is developing a strong backfield and the youngsters are taking to the work with enthusiasm. The work of Ross, Williams and Captain Coble in the backfield is worthy of mention and they are supported by a strong array of subs. The high school team is waiting for a real test and the game with Armstrong will no doubt furnish that. In the past two games the Bookers have not really been forced to extend themselves, but next week's game bids fair to a tough struggle.

First, sin of passion such as murder, drunk- emiess, sensuality; second, sin of temperament, suilenness, jealousy, envy, hatred; third, sins of neglect, "It ig not about the things, which we do but the things which we eave undone," he said. “The man ho hid his talent in a napkin had sinned because he had done noth- ing.” “Christ has reconciled us to God in the body-of his flesh thru death,” says the Apostle Paul. He said that the greatest | blessings ‘that have come to man have come thru vicarious suffering, He re- minded the congregation that. the privilege they were now enjoying as free men was purchased by the blood of thousands of men whose bodies are now resting beneath the sod, “The Son of man eame not to be ministered unto, but to min- ister and to give his life a ransom for many.” He said, “Men are Free axents either to accept the blessings which Christ has wrought ‘or remain aliens—and the greatest tragedy that can come in a man’s life ig to live in. this land where Christ is preached and die without aneeepting Him, who, is able to save the uttermost.” He told his hear. ers that unto them was committed the ministry of reconciliation and closed by saying that the essence of the Christian religion was in liv. ing our lives reconciled to God and bringing others into that sweet communion and fellowship. It was an impressive sight to see that body of women coming to the altar to teconseerate themselves to the serviee of God. At the evening service, Rev.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924 Interior Of Dark Continent To Have A Religious And Industrial Training School Interior Of Dark Continent To Have A Religious And Industrial Training School Rev. H. C. McDowell, Missionary From Congregational Church Tells of Educational Wants In Dark Continent. New York City, Oct 17—Rev H. C. McDowell, the first colored missionary to be sent to Africa by The Congregationalist Church, in a gripping address at The Grace Congregational Church, in a Street, last Sunday told how he and his wife were seeking to build a great industrial school, in Angola, West Africa, to be modeled after Tuskegee, and when completed will be able to provide accommodations for 1500 boarding students, and several hundred day students. The announcement by Rev. Dr. A. C. Garner, pastor of the Grace Congregational Church, that Rev McDowell would tell of his experiences is a missionary in Africa, brought out a large gathering. Dr. Garner told of the work that Rev. and Mrs. McDowell were doing in Africa as missionaries, and that they were among the most efficient missionaries that had ever been sent out by and church. He said that the work they were doing in Africa had brought forth the highest praise from The Missionary Board of The Congregational Church. Pleads For Africa Rev. McDowell made a thrilling plea for Africa. In his address he said: "Africa is imprisoned, besieged, and watched on all sides. Africa has been groping for many years for something. After the world war there began a new scramble for the continent. When I went to Africa we looked upon a point where no missionary work was being done. Angola is an unexplored region, and for six days we traveled, going into a land where no missionary had gone. On our march we saw great enclosed walks which we were told were the Davis Employs Physical Director Albany, N. Y., Oct. 16—(A. N.

WHENPECKING WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. Henpecking is widely known the world over in the matrimonial industry. Henpecking has been in vogue since the beginning of nuptials and every married man is more or less henpecked. Now, there's a new one—not necessarily new, because it is as old as henpecking. It is said to be new, because most folks haven't ever stopped to consider it. Well, it is called whenpecking and it's an undeniable fact that all men are whenpecked. Lots of people want to know what this whenpecking business is. MAKES YOUR HAIR LOOK IT'S BEST There is no doubt about it, MADAM C. J.

In one of these walls' there stood an old gate, which had imprisoned a great many of the slaves. I asked permission to tear this old gate down. One of the happiest moments of my life was when I tore down this gate, which for years had represented superstition and ignorance. "I then rededicated my life to the task before me of regenerating Africa. After traveling for several days, we visited the region where Livingstone trailed on his march to open up Africa. I saw the route over which he passed. The old natives still talk of Livingstone and his work in Africa. School On Tuskegee Plan "We have secured 1500 acres of land and it is our aim to establish a great industrial school to be modeled after Tuskegee. On 300 acres of this land we plan to build, a great experimental station, under the direction of an expert in chemistry. When this is done we will have provisions for 1500 boarding students, and hundreds of day students." Rev. McDowell said that such school would be the means of assisting in training the teachers and leaders of Africa who could help to extend the work of educating the natives. He said that something must be done to save Angola before she is lost. He said that four additional missionaries were needed, and four lady teachers. The address of Rev. McDowell was followed with a brief address from Mrs. McDowell who told of the work that was being done among the girls in Africa. The address was one of the most gripping that has ever been heard, and brought about a new interest in Africa. At the conclusion of the address Dr. Garner made an appeal for collection to assist in the missionary program of the church. Rev. and Mrs. McDowell will be in America with their children for several months. Insurance Company For New Orleans New Orleans, La., Oct. 16.—(A. N.

Scholar Takes Dubois To Task New York, N. Y., Oct. 16—(A. N. P.) In the current issue of the Messenger Magazine, Thomas Millard Henry severely scopes what he terms the Crisis school of literary critics. William Wuite, Dr. Dubeis and James Weldon Johnson, for what he believes is their unparonable crime in not giving sufficient credit to the poetry of "Play-acting" is merely the mirror in which we see life. The actors are reflections of ourselves. Personality is nothing less than attractive appearance coupled with good manners. Beauty is only skin deep, but oh, how important is the skin to beauty! BEAUTY means SUCCESS; success to the actress, success to the singer, success to the debutante, success to mother, success to grandmother. Golden Brown Beauty Preparations will bring beauty to YOU.

No mention was made of the letter which Dr. Dubois wrote to the editor of the Saturday Evening Post, exalting Dunbar in comparison with the best of present-day writers.

This program provides for the appointment of a number of important committees and is the result of the conference called during the summer at Atlantic City, N.

Your Druggist Has All My Preparations EDUCATION WILL REDUCE RECORD OF HOMICIDES EDUCATION WILL REDUCE RECORD OF HOMICIDES Ex-Gov. Of Tenn. Comments On Figures Giving Memphis Homicide Record. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 16.—(A. N. P.)—Figures by the editor of Opportunity in the current issue agent the homicide record in and around Memphis, Teun, are given additional point by word from Ex-Governor Patterson of Tennessee who, in his daily column in the Commercial Appeal gives the city credit for being the worst murder center in America, Gov. Patterson writes: "Memphis led the Southern League in baseball, ad she leads the All-American League in homicides. A man who behaves himself and keeps out of bad company has still a good chance for longevity in this city, despite this bloody showing. Both the killers and the killed, as a rule, are recruited from the awkward squad. Nobody seems to know about them, and they seem to know little of themselves. Our record, though, stands as made. "It is not the quality but the quantity that is seized upon and published broadcast to our disad- vantage. Nobody wants to be killed, however, no matter who they are, and 58 killings in nine months are entirely disproportionate to our population. We could just as well get along with less, and a great deal better with none. The air of this city is not as wholesome as it should be. We have too many people in whom the animal dominates. We need most to have this changed. It will come when our people think as much of duty as they do of dollars. When they deal a little more in figures of speech, and not so much in those marked quotations. A great university here will wonderfully help us. I can think of no better medicine for our disease." Shaw Ready To Blaze Grid Trail Ruleigh, N. C., Oct 8—The present program of athletics at Shaw is encouraging. The determination to raise the department of Physical to the high plane of the other departments of the University, rekindles hope and spirit that once were great assets to the University when the various teams representing Shaw were respected and feared in any contest. Shaw teams are to be as sterling and as formidable as once they were in the days of McGriff, McBeth, Sam Jones, Lightner, Joe Brown, Wilkerson and others. Probably no better man could bring this about than Coach H. D. Martin, formerly of Virginia Union University. While at Union, Coach Martin brought fame both to himself and to that University.

MEMPHIS, TENN. by twice winning the C. I. A. A. championship, the latter of which was won in 1924, over the best organized teams the C. I. A. A. has known. Coach Martin comes fully prepared for the arduous task before him at Shaw, for he meets a situation not unlike others in which he has successfully handled. A one time New England college star, with a remarkable background of football experience, a wonderful system and staff of last year's material he should with the more than thirty new faces reporting for training, make an even higher record at Shaw. The students, alumni and friends are not looking for a championship team this year but we are expecting to be far from the cellar in C. I. A. A. activities. The strenuous season calls for games with Union at Richmond Hampton at Hampton, Lincoln at Philadelphia, Virginia Normal at Ruleigh, S. C. State at Raleigh as the outstanding lights in the present schedule. One of the main forces behind thsi program is the tireless worker Dr. J. O. Plummer who was elected by acclamation as Graduate Manager of Athletics, at the annual meeting in June. His position and influence have combined the support of the authorities at the University and the Alumni Association in this program.

Baseball And Race Progress A little white ago Negroes had no real outlet for a certain enthusiasm expressed in baseball. The psychology of the thing was that we had to expend interest on the game on the heroism of white players, such as a Ruth, a Hornsby, a Sister or an Alexander, a hero worship that led eternally to "white supremacy" and away from race idealism that should naturally be focused on black players. White sport writers of many of them, many of them, "Negroes have not the active brains like the whites," so they consigned us to the mediocre fields of obscurity. But we have refused to stay there—merit will find a way. Today, after having made the country at large, and even the major baseball commission, along with Judge Landis, supreme dictator, Mother!

We are ushering in a Negro World Series between the Kansas City Monarchs, Colored Western League Champions and the Philadelphia Hildaleas, Colored Eastern League Champions which promises to be at least professionally an event in the league's grey hair. Of course this will be considered boastful on our part, but next year when the white sport writers begin to ask why the major leagues claim the "world" championship without proving their superiority over the Negro leagues, then you will see the logic of our statement. The fair-minded whites gill agitate the Negro league and are agitating the Wills-Dempsey contention. The test is inevitable. Yes, we have made race progress by our induction in baseball along professional lines. Yesterday we played it for "sport." Uniformless, salaryless and without discipline we had our mere fun on the cornet lof, but we did not make it. We played it for "sport." Foster and others came along and raised the tone of the game with their genius, touched it with the wand of organization, and professional Negro baseball was born. Salaries produced, the interest of fans secured and the player for the first time in a positive manner could play ball at a profit.

Government) 415 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Malvern Avenue Hot Springs N. Park, Ark. --- Reid Jackson of Louisville, Ky., is said to be the youngest student to matriculate at Wilberforce University. He graduated from high school last June and is now fifteen years old. He is also a candidate for the football and track team. We call him a prodigy. They seldom turn out any better than the average boy, but some times they fulfil the promise of their precocity and become unusually great and useful people. The warlike nature of the Afro-American people is growing pagnaciously pronounced, if we may judge from the tugs of war among school children noticeable in all parts of the country. Two boys in the Armstrong High School, in Washington had an altercation over possession of a seat and one of them stabbed the other to death. The Negro man and boy with a chip on his shoulder is growing among us and needs careful watching. The same thing is noticeable among the young and grown-ups of the white group. Indeed, the belligerent spirit is making itself felt all over the world, and is dangerous to the spirit of peace and good will among men. Chipping In To Help the G. O. P. Win Tucked away at the bottom of the seventh column of the first page of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE of October 4, there was a little news item of the greatest significance. We dare say many of the readers of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE did not give it any notice at all even if they read it. It simply announced the creation of a Republican National Auxiliary Finance Committee by Clarence Matthews, head of the Negro work of the Republican National Committee, whose business it will be to solicit and collect money from Negroes who want the Republican party to win and are willing to back their want with a contribution in cash. It is a splendid idea. It commends itself to THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE. The complaint has heretofore been made that Afro-Americans asked everything in the way of cash from Republican campaign committees and gave little if anything in cash to the committee. This has always seemed to us to be a race handicap, not only during but after a campaign. Our men have too often been told when an Administration has come into power and appointive favors were asked of it, that "we paid you people during the campaign." The Wilson managers took that position after the election with Bishop Walters and others and they were justified in doing so. Let the Negro Republicans who want the Republican party to win in the November elections, and can afford to do it, send in their contribution, from a dollar all the way up. By so doing it will give the race prestige with the party after as well as before election. The Fourteenth Amendment Will Not Be Repealed There are a lot of people in the world who can never let well enough alone and who are always stirring up strife where there was none. They are interesting creatures and perhaps they are needed in the direct and cross purposes of living which make for the necessary friction that produces results. Perhaps so. But these people are a very provoking lot and it is highly probable that they do more to retard than to promote the best interests of mankind. Nothing is too sacred, nothing is too prescriptively fixed in fact, to deter them from going about making trouble. And, like all people who go about attending to the business of others, they seldom have any business of their own or have to neglect such as they have. Page H. Edwin Bolte, a Washington lawyer. We never heard of him until he filed a suit in the Federal District Court, at New Orleans, to enjoin Walter L. Cohen from administering the office of Comptroller of the Customs at New Orleans; the petition alleging that Mr. Cohen is not a citizen of the United States but "a person of African blood and descent, and is inherently incapable of being a citizen of the United States." The petition alleges further that the fourteenth article of amendment to the Constitution was adopted without the consent of eleven States which were deprived of their equal suffrage (but it does not say because of participation in rebellion), that six states were coerced into ratifying it, and that Congress had no power to declare the amendment adopted at the time it did so. It is further alleged that the points raised have never been adjudicated by the Federal Courts. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE thinks that the Supreme Court will give the petition a black eye when it reaches it, as none of the contents set up have any legal standing in fact. And then there are so many Opinions of the Court of record in which the question of the Afro-American's guarantees in it are not touched upon or in any way affected, with the further fact that there is no instance in which the Court has set aside its own Opinion, or declared invalid and void any article of the Constitution, that we are justified in concluding that the Fourteenth Amendment is in no danger of being repealed by three-fourths of the States, or that the Supreme Court or the Congress will reverse themselves. "The Fire in the Flint" Draws Fire Of course the reader of this article has read "The Fire in the Flint," by Walter F. White, one of the younger writers of the race who went to sleep unknown and woke up famous as Lord Byron did upon the publication of "Childe Harold." If you have not read it the presumption is that you will do so, because it is a great novel, and so acclaimed by the best literary critics of the country, and because it has struck home in exposing certain conditions in racial relations which those responsible for them strive earnestly to keep the world ignorant of. A Frenchman once said "The romances of fact are stranger than the romances of fiction." It is largely the case with Mr. White's book. It deals with a horrible bunch of facts in a Georgia town in a romance way that blazons the fiction only the more emphatically to blazon the facts. The highest types of the educated Afro-American are contrasted with the lowest types of the Nordics by Mr. White, which is the reverse of the postulations of the white novelists, the highest types being victimized by the lowest, with sympathetic white persons of the highest types afraid to stand out in the open and protest against the wrong and outrage of it. That is the tragedy of the South, a running sore dating from the emancipation of the slaves, which time does little to heal, largely because the awful facts have been submerged beneath a flood of white literary propaganda wearing the falsehood of fiction. It is for us to produce authors capable of tearing the falsehood from the face of white propaganda, and Mr. White is helping wonderfully to do this in "The Fire in the Flint." The Macon Telegraph has read Laurence Stallings, the literary editor of the New York World, out of his home town and its affections because of a review of Mr. White's book in which he referred to the author as "Mr White, and is alleged in some way to have "slurred Southern womanhood," although we can find no slur of the kind in the book and Heywood Broun of the New York World says he can find none. Mr. Stallings is a native of Macon, but the Telegraph serves notice upon him that "You won't have to worry about that home boy business—not any more." Can Mr. Stallings survive such repudiation of him because he is big enough in New York to characterize a great Negro author as "Mr." and to criticise his work on the broad lines of truth and not of prejudice? Perhaps. Mr. Broun also quotes Clement Wood, another young and brilliant Southern author residing in New York, and who has thrown off enough of his inherited prejudices to be able to praise an Afro-American's work in the language of discriminating truth. Disclaiming the pre-eminence for his own novel, "Nigger," as the best novel written on the Negro question, Mr. Wood says that Walter F White's "Fire in the Flint" is "the better qualified nominee." Written by one of the most brilliant of the young generation of Negro authors, it is a magnificent book. It is magnificent as propaganda—saturated with startling truth, and never erring on the side of being overdrawn." Mr. Broun quotes Mr. Wood further as saying: "it is strong too, as a story. It hardly carns the slur that certain critics have given it, that it is not perfectly written. I suspect that these critics still practice the Rebel Yell in their bath rooms. It is finely written, and its sheer drive makes the reader unaware of what small lapses there be. It is a great and significant thing in American letters when the first-rate novel comes from a Negro author. Now and henceforth the race itself speaks; and the grand Epiglottis in Atlanta had best shiver in his boots at this book, which establishes that what they hide is cloven." When three such white men, literary celebrities, as Heywood Broun, Laurence Stallings and Clement Wood, two of them Southern born, stand up for a square deal for Walter F. White and give his novel such unstinted praise because it deserves it, we can well brace up and take heart of hope. Norfolk Journal and Guide Spirit of the Press "Discouragement" knocks at every man's door some time or other. Some times "he's" a hard fellow to keep out. Bue we've "got" to keep him out! He's a hard fellow to live with. Fact of the matter is we don't want to live when he's with us. You can be of great assistance to keeping down discouragement in your department. You know, the opposite of "discouragement" is "encouragement." It's the best "medicine" in the world and don't be afraid to use it. Don't forget that we must keep on "trying." If we have tried and failed we're still better men than if we have never tried. If we don't try, of course, we'll never fail—but we will surely never accomplish anything worth while. Very few of the accomplishments of great men were perfected the first time. The man who invented one of the greatest remedies for the relief of mankind made several experiments before he perfected it. The successful writer may re-write his story many times before it is "right." So let's just keep on "trying." If things don't break just the way we want them to, "let's keep on trying some more!" Colorful News "Movies" By: The Cameraman (For Preston News Service) 1. Attack Walter L. Cohen. 2. A Hint To The Wise. 3. The Negro Press Marches On. 4. Africa! What Art Thou? Contending that the Fourteenth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution is invalid, and that, consequently, Hen. Walter L. Cohen, Harding-Coolidge appointed to the post of Comptroller of Customs at the port of New Orleans, is not a citizen of the United States and cannot lawfully hold Federal office, an ingenious but unlearned and unethical Southern attorney is said to have filed ouster proceedings against Mr. Cohen. If this report be true, it marks the height of folly and the acme of disabuse of the time-honored law of this land. It shows at what unwholesome straws the drowning exponents of racial prejudice will grasp. Let us lift the veil for a moment. When the torture chambers, special punishments, and concentrated legal afflictions practiced upon Negroes in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, and their sister states, were legally banished by the U. S. Supreme Court, upon the ground of discrimination under the Fourteenth Amendment, the South rocked and reeled in economic and civic waste and disorder. When President Grant suspended the writ of habeas corpus and sent Federal troops into South Carolina to quell the night riders, the South began a slow retaliation by the enactment of special state statutes designed to defeat the aims of free Negro citizenship. When economic sleeping sickness overcame agriculturists of the South, who, when they could not compel Negro labor to work longer for 25 cents a day, they sought to threaten them into starvation. When Negro troops journeyed to France as a protectorate of America—which includes the Solid South—the southern human peninsula tried hard to partake of all the advantages of such protection without yielding one whit of benefit to its black protectionists. And now it is grasping at the last straw, by saying that the Negro is not a citizen of the United States. If the Negro had not beer a citizen since the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment, what, in the name of Jehovah, would have become of the Solid South? It would truly have been recking in sackcloth and ashes, for even the little which it had would have been taken by economic pressure or submerged in a pallor of laziness. As to Justice, Equity and judicial cloture, the case of Mr. Cohen's opponent is weaker, in purity, than a one per cent solution of water. The Interstate Commerce Commission, established by Congress in 1887, and existing under and by virtue of the commerce clause of the U. S. Constitution recently ordered an inquiry into interstate class rates between points in various trunk line territories of the United States. As you know, gentle reader, shippers of commodities are very jealous over their margin of profits, a large part of which is dependent upon the rates which the railroad company is able to give under rulings of the Interstate Commerce Commission. A two-cent difference per hundred pounds on anything, from peanut butter to cattle on the hoof, may bankrupt one shipper and place another shipper upon financial beds of case. All of which reminds us that this same Commission which orders rate inquiries and keeps shippers on a fifty-fifty basis with each other, has equal authority to inquire into differences in car equipment and comfort. In other words, there's not a single thing in the whole wide world to stop the Interstate Commerce Commission from taking a survey of the Jim-Crow car equipment being used for interstate passengers of color, and seeing that it is just as fine as any other railway equipment. Of course, personally, we know that there's a difference—such a difference—but we know too, that the railway companies would pay no attention to our word. But they would pay attention to the mandate of the Interstate Commerce Commission. When Bishop Gaines, Edwards, and others invoked the law and went before the Commission many years ago, seeking Federal adjustment of interstate equipment furnished Negro passengers, they performed a great service to the race. Far be it from us to be thought of as desiring to stir up litigation. Yet, a word to the wise ought to be sufficient, and grievances against the attitude of the Southern railways who discriminate against colored interstate passengers in the matter of equipment should be made the subject of judicial inquiry by the Interstate Commerce Commission. How do we know? The U. S. Constitution told us so. Within the past decade no factor of Negro growth has marked a greater stride forward than has the Negro Press. The journalistic infant of yesterday is nearly full-grown today, and the reading public is being served weekly, and, in fact, daily by Negro newspapers, magazines, and bulletins financed by Negro capital, made-up and set up by Negro printers and linotypers, and put on the streets and into the mails from Negro publishing houses, manned with up-to-date equipment and supplied with material gathered by skilled Negro reporters. In fact, the 81 printers' and bookbinders' apprentices; 78 electrotypers, stereotypeers and lithographers; 1,244 printing and publishing linhors; 1,595 semiskilled printing and publishing operatives; and the 101 pressmen and plate printers, to say nothing of the linotypers, make-up and layout men, working upon Negro presses, and the many feature story writers, reporters, and operatives working upon some of America's most famous white presses, prove that the Negro journalistic venture has taken a broad leap within the past few years. Saturday, October 18, 1924 BOOK CHAT By Mrs. MARY WHITE OYINGTON (Far N. A. A. C. P.) "The Fire In The Flint" By WALTER F. WHITE Published by Alfred A. Knorp, 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Price $2.50. By mail. $2.60. Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote in a letter to Barre, "If you are going to make a book end badly, it must end badly from the beginning. Unless needs must, we have no right to pain our readers." Mr. White, whether he ever read it or not, has followed this excellent advise. His book ends tragically and it is no accident but the certain course of fate. With the first chapter when Dr. Kenneth Harper, colored, opens his office in Central City, Ga., and, a smile upon his face, fonds his instruments and wipes 'imaginary spots from his glass shelves, we know that danger is ahead of him. With all his good intentions to stick to his business and not get into contact with the whites, he can not live in safety in Central City. His ability will be his ruin. This ignorant, bigoted Southern Main Street will strangle or burn anyone who brings it a new thought, and what thought so new or so abhorrent as the idea that a Negro can ever be the equal of a white man? Kenneth's good-natured smile and his pleasant philosophy will not save him, and his brother Bob, who better understands Central City, will also be caught up and sacrificed to that prejudice that the mob reveres. There is a mastery of detail in the book that gives it great power. Minor characters, as well as those of the two Harpers, stand out with distinctness. Mr. White's women do not live, but old Judge Stevenson, chewing his cigar to a pulp while he gives his kindly advice, and the Reverend Wilson who talks dialect the better to get on with his neighbors, are especially well drawn. There is extraordinary restraint in telling the story especially considering all that Mr. White knows of lynchings, not only through investigations, but when, as a little boy he stood armed by his father's side in his home, while the mob in the Atlanta riots rushed down his street. It was the veriest chance that left him alive later to write this novel. His theme moves irresistibly towards its inevitable end. The last page is a masterpiece. After for three hundred pages following the careers of Kenneth and his brother, after growing to admire and love them and see their mobility of purpose, we read the Associated Press report of their deaths, one a rapist, the other insane. And we close the book, realizing that such has been the lying misrepresentation regarding the Negro that has been sent out to the press for the last fifty years. The book is interesting from the start and has brought forth a chorus of praise from the reviewers. It has held their attention and it has convinced them of its truth. Most noteworthy of the many reviews have been those from the Southerners. Some of the papers have handed the book over to Southerners purposefully, and their praise is best evidence of the verity of the work. The Evening Post reviewer, a Southerner, puts it very near the top of the race novels and most significant, believes that there is "much power for good in such a book." But most noteworthy is the review by the ex-soldier, Lawrence Stallings, of Macon, Georgia, whose War Play, "What Price Glory?" is creating such a fervor in New York. Mr. Stallings is intensely moved as he writes his review. He feels the passion in "The Fire In The Flint," and while he was brought up to believe in the Associated Press viewpoint he gives much honest praise to Mr. White's work. I quote two things that he says: "It is a hopeless story told with unscrupulous attention to detail and carrying with it the best portrait of the small Southern town, too. "As a first novel "The Fire In The Flint" is a significant book. As any novel it is well worth while. It is so timely. Few novels have been needed more." We all need it, and we shall all read it. Of that I feel sure. The Impressive Progress From Montgomery Advertiser. Racial prejudice and antagonisms are ground in the flesh. They can no more be escaped than the color of one's eyes, or the texture of one's skin. Nevertheless, these should not blind us to the extent that they cause injustice, or a failure to appreciate facts as they exist. The Negro as a race is making progress and it is rather rapid just now. Judged by the past, it is little short of wonderful. In the professions of law and medicine, in teaching, in business, in music, and men in literature, the Negro has proven his capacity and is proving it over again each day. For one I am glad to recognize it. It will ever be a wasteful and short-sighted policy from either a material or moral standpoint to deny education or chance to develop to an inferior race. Ignorance and the helplessness that comes from ignorance must ultimately prove a curse to any people or any civilization which has absorbed them. Only in justice, mind and soul growth, will rewards and the blessings come. I believe the South is just as rapidly learning this lesson as the Negro is advancing. It is best for both of the races that this should be so. When we get on a little further and the Negro becomes a home owner, cultivating in small farms the lands of the South, which is not only his natural, but sentimental home, we will have a still more solid prosperity. We have a vast resource of potential wealth at home we have too long overlooked. It is the Negro. We are not getting Northern farmers in any considerable numbers to take up our lands, and the immigration laws have practically cut off the foreigners. The thing to do is to make use of our own material. Arm the Negro with the weapons of knowledge and scientific education and he will solve our problem of untilled lands of the South. Good housing, fair treatment and encouragement for the Negro are the best and safest investment we can make for the future—Ex-Governor M. R. Patterson, in the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

WILKINSON, Registrar WARD UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON, The only method that will solve the Negroes' problems is a Government and a nation of his own. To be industrially, economically and religiously free, he must have a Government and a nation of his own. The Negro must work out his own governmental salvation. This is a white man's country. He's demonstrating every day that the minority shall not dictate to the majority. The Negroes only get that which is measured out to them by the majority. The new Negro is not satisfied to let his bucket down where he is because the white man can say, "Negro, draw your bucket up" and the Negro has to do it. On many occasions, he has to leave his bucket there. These things are happening every year down in some of the Southern states. Negroes have been progressive in these United States of America for the last fifty years, but this progress is only stepping stone to aggrandize the white man's posterity with all his property and money in the bank. When the white man says move, Negroes have to go and sometimes have to leave their belongings behind. Theology and the new Negro's psychology teach him to permanently exist and to assimulate. He must have a government of his own. The new Negro feels that the time will come when he should sit under his own vine and fig tree. The white man has this world in a jug and he is holding the stopper in his hand against the Negro. We are living on borrowed land and the Back to Africa movement is indispensable and not visionary of the new Negro. The intellectuals of the race should teach the ignorant more about nationhood and nation-building. Any worth while program that is put over, is usually put over by the incapable. The spirit of liberty embraces all races in common brotherhood; it voices in languages the same needs and aspirations. We are an industrial people and the great question with us is, "How do institutions best serve our needs?" We are not so wholly materialistic that we cannot deeply feel the sentiments of liberty and nationality. Both form the bread foundation upon which we must build for permanence. No intelligent consideration of the question affecting our present and future is possible without an understanding of the successive stages in the development of our system. C.
