Lynchings Climb In First 6 Months, 1925 According to statistics just released by the Department of Records and Research, Tuskegee Institute, the number of lynchings for the first six months of 1925 almost doubled the number for the same period of 1924. From January to June of last year only 4 lynchings were recorded. For a similar period this year there were 9 lynchings, an increase of 5. These 9, however, were 6 less than the 15 recorded the first six months of 1923; 21 less than the number recorded for the first six months of 1922. All of the persons lynched were colored, Offenses charged were; rage, 2; murder, 4; attacking women, 1; attacking child, 2. States in which lynchings occurred and the number in each State are as follows: Arkansas, 1; Florida, 1; Georgia, 1; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 3; Utah, 1; and Virginia, 1.

Jordan, assistant secretary and manager of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., with home offices in Richmond was in the city last Friday on business connected with his company. Mr. Jordan made a survey of Southern Aid properties while here and it is likely that the company will make some alterations and other improvements in some of its holdings in Norfolk and Portsmouth. He was a pleasant caller at various business offices here, renewing acquaintances and discussing general business situations. Mr. Jordan expressed himself as being highly pleased with the recent growth of the business of this district under Superintendent S. B. Noble, and was optimistic as to the general business and industrial outlook. In Missionary Field Rev. George T. Rouson, pastor of the Baptist Church at Murfreesboro, N. C., and principal of the public school there also, is in Virginia engaged in Missionary work under the State Convention during the summer. He will leave Tidewater for the central and western sections of the State in a few days. MORE WALTER BLOW MONTY Last week $2.75 was received as a donation for the Walter Blow fund from the S. & B.

Feature of Case MARCH TO CONVICTION OF GROUP UNEVENTFUL Raleigh, N. C., Saturday morning Jim and Hec Ballard, brothers, arrived here in custody of Deputy Sheriff Euve and Sheriff Rountree from Gatesville and were turned over to the penitentiary authorities. Jim is confined in a cell in death row, from where barring the remote possibility of a judicial review of his case or Executive intervention, he will be led down the jane thrue which none turns back to that infernal contrivance society has adopted for the speedy execution of human life—the electric chair and executed on the morning of July 30. If the succeeding events in connection with Jim Ballard's fate run as true to form as have those preceding, he will become Gates county's first contribution to the death chair. Hebe Ballard has begun his sentence of 20 years at hard labor. And such was the decree of a special term of Superior Court at Gatesville last week in which these two characters were convicted of the killing and accessory to the killing of Deputy Sheriff Vernon Eason of Gates county May 5, last. Gatesville, N. C.—With Jim Ballard awiping his doom in the State prison at Raleigh, his Hebrew teacher, he was in the same institution, his wife, Cora Ballard and Sallie Mae Ballard under sentences of two years in jail each, with the privilege of serving the time in some "good white folks" kitchenes who may feel inclined to pay their entire court costs the finale of a strange chapter in North Carolina criminal annals is about written. Jim Ballard's taking full responsibility for the killing and efforts to absoon cost of his tin from any blame for it, did not save them from long jail senten- Certainly this case has been strange in many respects. In the first place it was strange in that the eleven defendants involved were all of the same family. Again, it was strange in that the principal defendant, Jim Ballard, was saved from lynching by a private citizen who captured him and carried him out of the county by automobile while a blood-thirsty mob scoured the woods for the fugitives. The other strange feature of the Ballard case is that the trial was held under Henry A. Grady, alleged Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, while hundreds of clansmen eagerly watched the proceedings in the court of their King Kleagle. A Negro on trial for murdering a white man in a court presided over by a reputed Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan with thousands of kleagues looking on—that was odd and ironical as well. Equally as odd was the denial of a preliminary hearing to a single one of the defendants, and the close confining of all of the day from May 5, the grand jury indicted them a few minutes before the trial for their trial, even if they included among them, while one of the defendants was an expectant mother. Crowds Witness Trial To witness this trial which had such a strange background thousands jammed into the little court house square. Beyond the circumstances named, however, there was nothing odd in the succeeding events, except the consuming of four days in selecting a jury. Beyond that the marshal conviction was carried out. Ballard was indicted on a first degree murder charge. His brother Hebe, their wives Cora and Lucy Ballard; Daniel, Joe, Roy and Oscar Ballard, Siace Laila Moe Ballard, Jacob Winn and John Clark were indicted as accessories to the murder. Following the trial Ballard, Ballard, Isaac, Allen Wynn were freed, their cases being not pressed with leave. John Clark and Jacob Wynn were held for the next regular term of Superior Out of that multitude of curious folks, and folks' bent on seeing that no cog slipped between the Ballard indictment, the Ballard indictment of spectators who were optimistic or pessimistic enough to conclude that the NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1925 DR. STANLEY H. BROWN, of Cleveland, Ohio, winner of the highest scholastic honors in the class of 1925, Western Reserve Medical School, and the first colored student of Western Reserve to be so honored. Dr. Brown has been elected to membership in Alpha, Omega Fraternity, the national medical fraternity, to which the highest six of Western Reserve are annually elected. In 1922, Dr. Brown was graduated from Adelbert College, winning his Phi Beta Kappa key for excellence in scholarship. In 1921 he entered the medical college as a combination student and for four years led his class. He also left college for membership at President's Hospital, Washington, D.C, where he will begin work as interne July 1. He is a member of Pi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the Royal, Vagabond Club and the Cleveland-Intercollegiate. delay in filling the jury box presaged a stubborn fight in which Jim Ballard would have met the death penalty. Three special veniures, totaling 275 were required to obtain a jury. Most of the prospective jurors were rejected because they admitted that they were convinced of the guilt of the defendants and could not pass impartially upon the evidence presented. This was an indication of how strong sentiment was against the accused. On the strength of the testimony, defense counsel sought a change of venue but the Court, ruled, mg. Takes Blame For Killing Takes Blame For Killing On the witness stand testifying in his own behalf Jim Ballard assumed full responsibility for the slaying. He did his best to absolve his women folks and all other members of his family. Jim said was there but one gun in his house at the time of the killing and he had that. He put up a plea of self-defense, stating that he did not fire on Sheriff Eason until the latter had actually fired two shots at him. Eason, he said, ordered not to go off the officer shot at him. Jim said he proceeded upstairs, loaded his gun and shot the officer dead. He stuck to his story that one of the others indicted had anything to do with the shooting, but the jury returned verdicts of guilty as accessories against his brother Hebe, his wife Cora and Silie Mac Ballard. Jim Ballard's attempt to save the women members of his family and take the blame for the killing all upon himself was not the only instance in which the manly instinct in him arose above the primitive. When he was an exhausted fugitive hiding from bush to bush in the swamp and had been for two days hunted by hundreds of armed white men, whose skimming on the outskirts of the swamp he could easily hear, in desperation his mind turned to his wife and he sat down and scribbled in notec. I noticed all to play for me. I'm getting hungry. I'm up here about the Bill Henry Harrell place. Take care of yourself the best you can, and if you don't ever see me any more, meet me in heaven. Tell all by by. If you can tell Joe andapa to come to J. Hare's tonight. And you come too. J. B. At another time, when hunger had not so pained him and when his hopes of finally eluding his pursuers was brighter he wrote: "Dumps, I want my running shoes, gray pants. Tell Joe send me a shirt. Tell Oscar to send me a shirt. J. B." Cause of Trouble Jim Ballard's predicament grew out of his primitive idea of defending his home against all coners. Sheriff Eason went there in (Continued on Page Five) MR. CHAS. G. ARCHER, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. R.

D. from the University of Pennsylvania, June 1924. Mr. Archer expects to practice in Norfolk. STANDARD LIFE HOLDINGS BRING OVER A MILLION STANDARD LIFE HOLDINGS BRING OVER A MILLION Sale Of Atlanta Tract For Handsome Price Regarded By Many As Proving The Vision Of Heman Perry. The recent sale of Standard Life Insurance Company really holdings in Atlanta at a sum estimated at $1,250,000 by the Southern-Standard Insurance Company is taken by many as indicating the great possibilities in the ventures projected by Heman Perry, former head of the Standard. The tract involved which was one on which Mr. Perry planned to erect a colony of homes for colored people was listed among the Standard Life assets at $300,000. Its recent disposal at a million and greater has evoked considerable comment on what Perry might eventually have accomplished, had he not been overtaken by financial difficulties. There are others who give the credit for this profitable deal to Will S. Harris, president of the Southern-Standard, who is also rated as a business genius. The Standard Life went into the hands of the Southern Insurance Company about a year ago, following financial embarrassment from which it was unable to extract itself. PURCHASE OF NEW HOME REVIVES OLD RESIDENCE STRIFE Detroit Physician Driver From Residence By Irate Whites, Which He Bought In Most Exclusive Section. Dr. Alex Turner's attempt to move into his palatial home in a white neighborhood in Detroit, Mich., last week revived the strife that has gone on intermittently in recent years in congested localities between the races through the efforts of colored people, better living conditions, and the deeds of the whites to fight all encroachments in sections inhabited by them. Dr. Turner's newly purchased home at 4755 Spokane avenue, is located in one of the most exclusive residential sections of the city. The house had been formerly owned by the head of a packing concern, and had been bought by the colored doctor by the real estate firm it is not divulged. Turner commissioned the broker to buy for him when the section in (Continued on Page Fire) THE RESIGNATION OF COL. CAUSEY MAY AFFECT PARK PLANS Retirement Of City Manager Provokes Speculation Among Colored Citizens As to The Next Move. COUNCIL MAY BE ASKED TO TAKE DIRECT ACTION The announcement of the resignation of City Manager Causey has provoked considerable speculation among the colored citizens as to the final outcome of the proposal now before the city authorities for the establishment of public recreation centers. It is not believed by those who have commented on the situation that his resignation will have the effect of burying the proposal, inasmuch as Col. Causey's tender to be relieved of his duties asked that it become effective September 1, and they are of the opinion that should be longer he will still have ample time to make a definite recommendation regarding the project. Those who have been most active in trying to secure the park and playgrounds fear that should Col. Causey allow the matter to wait for the consideration of his successor, the problem of getting recreational facilities for the colored people will not be worked out before the end of the summer, and the benefit these facilities afford to the colored people to them most during this hot weather. This is based on the belief that should Council refer the matter to a new City Manager he would not be able to take definite action on it until he had been in office long enough to familiarize himself with every section of the city as well as the duties of his position. Such a delay caused by the outlined possibilities would be regarded as malumitous, according to opinion being freely expressed by those best informed on the playground situation as it now exists in this city. They are hoping that Col. Causey will act definitely and promptly before he lays down the mantle of his office. The hope is also held that in event the City Manager fails to make headway on this proposal before he stems down the matter to a definite realization without waiting for it to be handled by a successor to the City Manager. Steals Money From Mother, But Fails To Get Away A mother living on Wool street was saved the loss of $75.00 Saturday morning through the voluntary interest of Mr. Henry Morgan, proprietor of a cleaning and pressing establishment at the corner of Bute and Smith streets. He was young men between the ages of 10 and 14 years of whom was this mother's own son entered her home through an upstairs window Friday night between 9 and 10 o'clock and stole $75.00, with which they intended to make a clear away out of Norfolk. A tip on the woman's misfortune and the possible destination of the innesture struck young men into Mr. Morgan, who immediately interested himself in the case. Saturday morning he jumped into an automobile and drove to the N. Y. P. & N. wharf on intercepting the culprits before they could begin a northbound trip. A few minutes on the wharf and he sighted just what he had been traveling to, travelers prepared to put a chase on the money stolen from the mother of one of them. Morgan made a quick frustration of their seemingly well laid plans. By sheer force he arrested them made them prisoners in his car and brought them back to their starting point and saved the $75.00 for the frantic mother. The woman was profuse and thanked to her. More those only interest, in the case was to help an unfortunate woman which he very well did. No arrests have been made in the case and probably will not be, the maternal instinct of the woman pre dominating. Mr. Crocker Here Mr. W. H. Crocker, prominent realtor of Suffolk was in the city Wednesday on business. He is manager of Tidewater Agricultural College, where he made contributions for the biggest fair this fall in the history of the association. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Come From Europe To Attend Funeral Of Servant (By Associated Negro Press.)

A cablegrom sent from Mr. Chandler and his wife, who are abroad, to Rev. Robt. Tabb, of the Church of the Crucifixion, Eighth and Bainbridge street, said they will arrive this week and positively do not want the funeral held until they arrive. Governor Issues Nineteen Pardons (By Associated Negro Press.) Austin, Texas, July 1.—Continuing her pardoning policy, Governor Miriam A. Ferguson has swung back the iron gates of the Texas penitentiary and issued free passes to some 30 colored prisoners. June 15 is for those bound on the Overseas or Emancipation Day, and it has been the custom of most Texas Governors to extend the hand of mercy to unfortunate colored people in the Texas penal institutions on that date. But never before in the history of the State have so many "Emancipation Day" pardons been issued. MAYORTYLERURGES A COMPANIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST Lay Sermon By City Head Much Enjoyed; Sees Hopeful Future For Race And Names First Negro Convert Honorable S. Heth Tyler, mayor of the City of Norfolk, declared in the course of an address at the Bethany Presbyterian Church, Princess Anne Road near Church street, Sunday night, that he believed a hopeful future awaited the Negro race. Mayor Tyler took his subject, the First Negro Converter, and answered the same time to the twenty-sixth verse of the eighth chapter of Acts because of its deep historical significance in the Christian world. The story of the Ethiopian cunuch and Philip he outlined from this chapter and explained that here was revealed the first instance of a person who could be definitely identified with the Negro race accepting Christianity. In explaining the choice of subject he mentioned that he had been studying the history of the Negro race and this gave him the clue to his final choice, which had a biblical source. Alluding to the present confusion in regards to the study of the Bible, the Mayor declared: "It is a wonderful thing to study the rich truths of the Bible, hitherto unknown; but the trouble in doing this is that men in their efforts to probe the deeper truths try to use their feeble intellects to fathom God's purposes." Mr. Tyler began to warm to his subject, becoming forceful in his delivery and approaching eloquence at moments. In making a plea for a closer companionship with Christ, the Mayor said: "Anyone in the world without the spirit of Jesus is an inexplicable tragedy; without Jesus any man would be but a beast with a thin veneer of civilization—a scratch would be as despicable in the lowest beasts," and Mr. Tyler's address was well received by a fairly good sized audience. The Athenian Jubilee Chorus rendered several pleasing numbers while the rest of the musical program consisted of a piano solo by Miss Doris Dunge; a vocal solo by Miss Helma Dunge; a piano solo by Miss Elsie Frazier; and a few other selections by members of the church. Miss Louise Canada was the pianist. REV. W. SCOTT MILLER AT HOME The pastor of Bethony Presbyterian Church, who was hurried to the Tidewater Hospital on the 23rd of May, was discharged on the 6th inst., and is able to be about again. The Reverend intended to attend commencement at his kept home Yale, but his illness kept him at home. PULLMAN SLEEPER TO BEAR NAME OF MARTYRED PORTER Oscar Daniels Who Sacrificed Life In The Saving Of More Than A Score Of Others Will Be Memorialized. FIRST INSTANCE OF KIND IN HISTORY The heroism of Oscar Daniels, Pullman porter, who lost his life in the saving of more than a score of lives when a passenger train bearing excursionists from Chicago to New York was wrecked near Rockport, N. J., June 16, will company through the mailing of one of its coaches "Daniels." And this will mark the first time in the history of the company one of its officers has been named in honor of a member of the Negro race. The Sleeping Car Sirocco will bear the name of Daniels when it comes from the renai shop. At the time of the wreck, Daniels was seated in the forward end of the first Pullman, which left the rails, halting near the locomotive from which dense clouds of steam poured through a door. Daniels braved the steam to close the door. He succeeded, but fell mortally injured. He was still alive when rescuers entered the car, but after being taken outside he refused first aid, saying, "Attend to that little pup!" The doctor obeyed and when they returned they found Daniels dead. And when the sleeping car Daniels rolls thru valley, over mountains and across the western plains she will go as a rumbling tribute to the heroism of a man who died in the service of its owners that he might save others. MAJ. COX DEFENDS MARCUS GARVEY'S MIGRATION SCHEME Says He Believs U. S. Government Would Pay Transportation of Colored People To Africa. Richmond, Va.—A number of this prominent colored leaders sat among the audience which packed True Reformers' Hall Sunday afternoon and heard Major E. S. Cox tell them "where to get off at" in a speech he delivered under auspices of the local branch Universal Negro Improvement Association and a speech in which he ruthlessly used the word "nigger." Major Cox is the author of "White America" and "Let My People Go," two books in which he without reservation set forth his advocacy for the African-American. He is an active sponsor of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America and collaborator with Dr. W. A. Plecker in the advocacy of racial integrity legislation. He expressed full agreement with Marcus Garvey's program which among other things advocates wholesale migration of Negroes to Africa, a suggestion also contained in Dr. Plecker's printed talk of racial integrity. Evidently having in mind Garvey's public assertion that America is the most populous country which Negroes should leave or be deported, the Major lauded the Improvement Association leader who is now serving a five-year sentence in Atlanta Federal prison on a conviction of having defrauded his people, as the greatest Negro of the century and said he had done more for his race than any other man. The speaker declared he believed the United States Government would pay the transportation of Negroes back to Africa. Major Congress speech was entertaining whether his speech was entertaining he planned to tell the Negroes what he thought of them and to show them their place and he did it. His frequent use of the word "nigger" was resented by most of the audience however. Among those who heard the speech were John Mitchell Jr., Rev James F. Hatcher, Lawyer W. F. Denny Dr. Smith and others.

Daylight Excursion to Richmond, July 4th Outings are always an occasion for jolty, and the daylight sail up the beautiful James River on the Fourth will be no exception. This sail possesses several features not usually connected with boat sails and outing. First and foremost, this sail will allow those who take advantage of it to remain over the week-end in the States' capital, Richmond. This is possible because the boat leaves Norfolk, from the *Buxton Lake wharf*, Water street near Madison, at 8 a. m., on the Fourth of July and does not return until Sunday afternoon. Then those who go will be able to see the gigantic fleet of 400 steel ships which is anchored in the James near Camp Eustis. After these and other features are enjoyed the excursionists are due to embark at Richmond for Norfolk at 4 p. m., Sunday the 5th. The afternoon and evening sail combined is expected to be especially pleasant. "It has been announced that interested persons call 25156 Norfolk. New Auto Accessory Store Indicates Business Increase While the people of this city have been making every effort to bring more smoke stacks here, few have noticed the gradual increase of business enterprises in Norfolk. One of the most recent additions to the commercial life of the city besides being one of the most prominent is the coming here of Taubman's, dealers in automobile accessories corner of Main and Granby streets. This is the largest store in Norfolk dealing exclusively in the "trappings" for automobiles and in every conceivable accessory for the comfort of the motorists whether he is traveling as a necessity, touring for pleasure or camping. The firm operates stores in several of the larger cities of the country and has opened a store in Norfolk which compares, it is said, with those in the big northern centers. The average person would be surprised to learn of the numerous and various contrivances invented for automobile safety and comfort, by an inspection of Taubman's store. And because the store deals exclusively in accessories, and because of its tremendous buying facilities, its prices are said to be the lowest obtainable on similar stock anywhere.

OCIAL WORK OF 1ST APTIST CHURCH ATES FROM 1863 the program of the First Bap- Church, of social service and community welfare work, is sim- ply a natural development of the work started by the progressive- membership of the early church, the old church records show that July 3rd, 1863, a special meet- the church was held in which it unanimously voted to open a school for men of color on July 4th, of the same year. So present kindergarten with its inlets of little ones who have made this the most outstanding kindergarten of our group of the gr, is but the fruit of the educa- tional seed planted in that special meeting of July 3rd. The records of the church also reveal the fact that the church is active in caring for the sick and burying the dead whenever the immediate family circumstance warranted. It never allowed a member to be buried by the city to the putters' field, an organization in the church known as the Human Aid Society always looked after such cases. Out of the spirit of sympathetic usefulness of the organizations has developed one of the most useful charitable and fraternal organizations of the city with a large membership. Today the church meets that need in more definite and scientific manner. It has established a church-age which at present has eleven old people, whose every want is applied by the church. These old corn and tired saints have a marten and cavertaker whose every thought centers about them. They are at their disposal a doctor, registered nurse and an ear, eye and nose specialist. It has has also been discovered from O WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The Virginia B. Y. P. U. Con- lation will convene this year on yibth 17th to 17th, in the St. John's eptist Church, Rev. W. M.

Jupiter Pluvius Halts Sunday School Contest Severe rain storm halted the progress of workers in the Sunday school contest. Each school started to work with a renewed interest, only to have their hopes blasted by a continuous storm which lasted throughout the day. The slogan "Every member a worker," and every worker a trained one, is throwing new light on Sunday school work in this section. Several find it necessary to use each member in canvassing their church to ascertain how many church members are Sunday school members. Others are canvassing streets within a certain radius of their school. By this method these schools express themselves as reaping a rich harvest. In our report of June 27, we failed to give Mt. Lebanon credit for six new scholars. We regret very much this oversight. Sunday school workers demand more information as the contest becomes more spirited. The offices of the Secretary of the Council is flooded with requests and suggestions. This week for the benefit of the Journal and Guide readers we are publishing the total enrollment of each school.

So now the church maintains a Free Employment Bureau in the office of the church which has proved a blessing to many, both white and colored. The same first pastor, often times to accommodate his members, allowed mothers to leave their children in his home to be cared for by his wife, while the mothers were at work. Today the church operates a Day Nursery with a capacity of twenty children. This Nursery has been said by the State Authorities to be the best Day Nursery for colored children in the State. A practical nurse is in charge with an assistant on the job from seven a. m. to seven p. m. for six days in the week. The Nursery is overlooked by the King Daughters Registered nurses, who furnish milk for the sick and poor babies of the community. WHY NOT JOIN THE FLOWERS Receive a bunch each week.

It seems that the "Man of a million fists" has hopes of becoming the king of all the center class padded mitts thumpers and laying up his treasures (the crown) where moth doth not corrupt nor thieves break in and steal. Mr. Flowers has set for himself, a very high and scintillating ideal and to some extent fortune slightly favors him, but the, Deacon has a few more obstacles to kick out of his pathway and a pair of black marks to erase off of his scroll, the same being the knockouts as dealt out by that devastating right hand of Mr. Orville Chandelie. sand of M.P. Orvine Gnaphalie. Tiger Flowers' ring activities have been a target of many double-barreled attacks and scribes all over the country have taken a shot at him. Even after his short rest he came back to the game engaging in as many fights in the same space of time as he did before the short vacation and this brought out the firing squad again. About. Winning The Title. If by chance Mr. Flowers wins the middleweight championship of the world, the time will have come when it would be proper and fitting for him to retire from the strenuousness of the fight game. He will have burned himself entirely out and his retirement would be the only means by which he could hold the title any appreciable length of time. As it is, he is burning up now much too fast to ever hope to continue long at the same clip. Flowers is running the pace that kills, If by chance Mr. Flowers win the world, the time will have come for him to retire from the strenu- nage burned himself entirely out means by which he could hold time. As it is, he is burning up no tinue long at the same clip. Flo- rns much as it has been generally exports in which the participants scient activity.

Deserves All That's Due Him In spite of the above, Mr. Flowers must be commended and lauded for his success. It cannot be taken from him, Theodore is one of the best middleweights of color since the time Sam Langford made his debut in this country. Langford began as a middleweight graduating into the heavy class, the weight at which he was better known and at which he made his reputation. Be that as it was and is, the Boston Baby was a whooping good middle and as was said, Flowers is best, since that time and if any two men, deserve being the champion, he is both of them. We have our doubts unless the sensational one meets his ways. In spite of the above, Mr. Flor for his success. It cannot be take best middleweights of color since debut in this country.

Walk Miller certainly has an eye for business and if he doesn't get rich pretty soon, that is, if he isn't already, something is rotten in Denmark. As he said, his specialty is managing colored fighters and it is being borne out more and more at very short intervals. He has added two more to his already large stable. The two new additions are Speedy Dean, of Chi, a 118 pounds of just what his name implies. Dean is an ex-army man and a thumper of merit making everything from 120 to 135 pounds eat some resin dust, and the other is "Sunny Jim" Williams who hails from the wide open spaces of the West. Williams is a middleweight and it is claimed that he rivals the Famous Tiger in fistic efficiency. Some of the wise acres think that a battle between these two men would be a never to be forgotten classic—don't get ruffled dear readers, because nothing of that kind is likely to happen. Both of these scrappers are in the same stable and there will never be a bout between the two as long as they remain as they are situted at present. They could not get a better manager of their affairs than Walk Miller, the prominent Southern promoter: "Sunny Jim" does not come to Miller as Flowers did. He comes with a record as a leather pusher, being credited with knocking out the Sensational Gordon McKay, a man who had never kissed the canvass, prior to his dive at the hands of Williams. From his record he ought to make good under the direction of Miller who, most assuredly knows what to do with a fighter. A. Jumping Journalist We all have reasons to feel that Dehart Hubbard, the versatile trackman of the University of Michigan will be heartily received and warmly welcomed to the newspaper field, the game for which he made preparations while covering himself with glory as one of the stellar athletes of the year. During his school career, Hubbard gained the reputation of being a clean sport and a gentleman and these are two of the many things sports were intended to produce. With these requisites together with ability we are certain the champion jumper will make good. We all have reasons to feel trackman of the University of Michigan warmly welcomed to the newspaper preparations while covering him as athleters of the year.

I do not see how he could interrogate so damn foolishly and run loose without being a menace to somebody. All of the above came about by some of the prima donnas in the Italian Hospital fund bouts squawking about who is going on first and who was going on last. It seems that three of the principal fighters want to feature in the last bout on the card which is always considered the main event. It also seems that Greb and Walker do not want to be caught featuring in a semi-final to a Wills fight. WHY?—the why can be easily guessed. Wills said something to the effect that he would goog last or there wouldn't be any Wills-Weinert scrap on that card, consequently Mr. J. Humbert Fugazy became a bit ruffled over the rumor and sought to do the natural thing and was to inquire into the correctness of the Muffled whispers. When he found that they were right he got in touch with Harry Greb who said, "It means nothing to me, I'm the champion of the world. Don't care anything about Wills squawk. I'm going on last. Wills also said, "I have no intentions of playing second fiddle to either Walker or Greb. Don't think for a minute I'm high-hatting anybody, but the star bout is coming to me and I'm going to get it or there'll be no fight." The fourth party in the affair, Charley Weinert, through his manager, Milly McCarney does not seem to be worried at all as to when he goes on, so long as he goes. The manager of the Newark Adonis said, "Of course, we'd like to go on first. In that case I could go around and accept the congratulations of my friends on the great victory scored by Weinert." Well, well, well—the poor fellow really believes that his charge has a chance. 'S too bad, 'S too bad. Another good man gone wrong. This McCarnery fellow finished by saying, "The only disadvantage in going on last from my viewpoint (ha! ha!- his viewpoint) will be that everybody will clear off the premises after the fight is over and I'll miss all the hand shakes." This is very amusing indeed. Please reserve a bed for him in a psychopathic ward. It seems that J. Humbert Furgazy would have looked after these little details at the beginning of the arrangements for the scrap in order that there would not be hitches at the nearness of the staging of the entertainment. He ought to know that every man wants the best for himself and there could be no other way of avoiding disputes over places on the card unless that was cleared up long, long ago.

BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON. JR. John Arthur Johnson, the stevedore from the docks of Galveston, Tex., was one of the heavyweight champions of the world who never really lost his title thru inability. Jack Johnson is rarely if ever lauded by the press of the country for reasons known to all followers of the fight game and a multitude of those who only have a slight interest in the sport. But in spite of all that and the fact that his character is marred by his conduct, there is no reason why he should be isolated from the records. It also may be true that his life cannot be held up as an example, but neither could that of Napoleon Bonaparte, yet his name and deeds take prominent places in the histories of the fisticic world and not because he was a mon of unsmirred character and a man of pure and lofty ideals—but his accomplishments! He was forceful, domineering, and one of the best ring generals in history. Johnson in the fight game was what Bonaparte was in army life, a go getter and man of destiny. 1,000 yards, every mortal on the oval joined in loud acclaim. Tankins deserved applaudits. He gave sport patrons a fine effort. Breaking down rivals one by one, Tankins showed clean heels to Jerry, his hardest opponent on Sixth street. Then with the lead tucked away, Speedy Rufe tore out Fifth avenue through Schenley Park and finally to the goal, where officials awaited him. Tankins was the one scratch stater. When Henry Bloom, official starter, gave Rufus the last word in front of the Bellevue Young Men's Christian Association building, a coterie of skeptics surrounded that scene. Nary two contestant was in sight. Even two A&P NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE --By Willey A. Johnson THE CHAMPION OF ALL TIMES HAVANA 1913 THE FIGHT HE NEVER LOST—ACTUALLY. JOHNSON Was Greatest Heavy Jack Johnson was the greatest heavyweight that ever darkened the ring. When he was at his best, there was not a man living who could take his measure. In all of his fights he was never forced to extend himself to down his opponent. He always had something in reserve. He toyed with all of his opponents and put them away when he felt disposed. He was one of the only men who would name the round in which he would end his fights, and rarely failed to do so. His equal was not in the making. Everybody with good sense knows Jack Johnson never actually lost to Jess Willard, the big ham of a cowboy who never could fight. Johnson could have licked Willard with one hand thrown away, one foot in the grave, the other on a bananna skin and blind in both eyes. Johnson could have whipped a dozen Willards in the same ring and at the same time. I venture to say that Johnson can beat Willard today and a number of these little upstarts who claim they are of championship caliber, and that's that. minute men had cleared the horizon and were pedaling for dear life for Schenley oval. Somebody figured that Tankins carried too big an impost. No such sentiment held sway in Tankin's repertoire. "Go get 'em," howled Rufe's trainer as the speed merchants stepped on the gas. Tankins did as directed. Soon he began to overhaul the ruckers. He tore past jaded youngsters. Cutting them down with a grand display of speed and stamina, Tankins finally scanned Jerry, his toughest foe, racing along Sixth street. A Real Battle Royal It was a battle royal for a few minutes. Tankins pulled ahead. Nimely Suggestions for Picnic Lunches No need to worry about what to get or where to get it. Come to our newest store--everything you need is there and lower in price too!

It was a gallant game to play. Jerry gave every ounce of grit and going, but to no use. Tankins had his number and clattered home with yards to spare. Performance is Classic Because of the fact that Tankins was the only runner to run from scratch, all other competitors having handicaps of two minutes or more, his race and victory is considered a classic event. He has been congratulated on every hand. He indicates that he has just begun to train for his track career and victories and that he aims to reach the very heights of athletic success.

CALANTHE REPORT SHOWS ORDER IN FINE CONDITION Supreme harmony marked the 28th annual session of the Grand Court of Virginia Order of Calanthe which was held in the lecture room of Zion Baptist Church, Portsmouth, June 16-17, and the financial report showed the order to be substantially solvent. The sessions were presided over by Mrs. Rowena White, Grand Worthy Counselor, assisted by the Supreme Worthy Counselor E. G. Tidrington, of Illinois. 111 Courts responded to the roll call on the morning of the first day. At noon the Courts met with the Patiens and the main diorium of the church to listen to the welcome addresses coming from the citizens and responses by members of the lodges.

Tidrington and for more than an hour the members listened to valuable suggestions and information such as the Court had never heard and by which new zeal for Calantheism was infused in the listeners. Following this address the G. W. Inspector took the chair and G. W. Counsellor's annual report was read which showed that since last session three new courts and one juvenile had been added to the order. - In making this report she greeted the Grand Court and delegates and thanked them for their loyalty, cooperation and support. And after thanks were given our "Festival which art in heaven" for having kept us thru the year and allowed us to assemble in this beautiful Zion Baptist Church in the hospitable city of Portsmouth, Va. She implored each one to lay aside all petty jealousy and have only one thought in view that is to Build up" our grand and noble chapel. During the afternoon the reports of G. W.

The picture comes announced, not as a preachment, nor a vehicle pointing any moral, but strictly as a vehicle interpreting to vividly portray the challenges of being disciples of jazzmania. But it is more than the evils possible by reason of super-indulgence in this so-termed menace to the people of the land that are laid bare in "The Mad Whirl." for the picture deals specifically with the possible effect in the family relations of such indulgence. Mae McAvey has the feature role in a cast which is annually notable for the prominence of those who play the various characterizations. Jack Mulhall has the juvenile lead, and others age Myrtle Steadman, Barbara Bedford Affleck, B. Francis Clark, George Gore, Marc Aaire and Joseph Singleton, William A. Seiter, who directed "The Family Secret," and "The Fast Worker," made the "The Mad Wind," which is the screen version of "Here's How," a short story by Richard Washburn Child THUNDERING HERD ZANE GRAY'S STORY For the gratification of its patrons, the Attucks will screen, next Monday and Tuesday, Zane Gray's greatest story, "Thundering Herd," a picture full of exciting thrills, tense dramatic situations, pathos and humor, featuring Jack Holt, Noah Berry, Ernest Torrence, Lois Wilson and many other noted movie stars. "Thundering Herd" has proved the greatest association of the season where it has been all the rage, a picture that will appeal to all lovers of nature-young and old alike, and is worth ten times the price of admission to see. AL BROWN AND BLACK BILL COP PRIZES AGAIN In spite of the fact that Johnny Breslin is a fighter from New York's Hell Kitchen and fights like it, janky Al Brown, the flashy little flyweight, displayed the fact that he could fight somewhat like that uncomfortable place too, when he decisively defeated the white boy in a fast and furious 12-round affair at the Commonwealth Sporting Clug of New York Saturday night of last week. Breslin had been touted to whip Brown in good fashion, but the Harlemite did his silly with a feeling, kicking Johnny silly and making him like it. Black Bill Again Black Bill, the little flyweight from Cuba came through again, outpointing a tough baby in Corporal Izzy Swartz in a rough melee of twelve rounds which was the semi-final to the Brown-Breslin scuffle. Bill's speed carried him over in good style and outshaded his opponent by a good margin. These boys are trying to pave the way to a title match with the flyweight champion, Pancho Villa, the Friar-penmaster and at the same time are traveling they will soon be on top. Villa is somewhat of a fight dodger too and there may be quite a bit of difficulty in cornering him far a title tilt. Board: Mrs. Harriet Thompson, Richmond; Mrs. Mary Yates, Richmond; Mrs. E. B.

Hackett), whose mind has become somewhat impaired owing to the shock of his wife's death, invites the poor to his home with the intention of distributing his wealth among him. Beggars of all deceptions, the very lowest dregs of society, make their appearance in his sumptuously furnished rooms, drawn, there by the bait held out of money for which work is not required. One particularly unpropossessing indifference for a woman from the stair a room gifted birthed by the manner in which he is handling the different ornaments in the room, whereupon the beggar turns upon him in anger with the remake: "How dare you talk to me? You are only a servant here while I am an invited guest." The extreme satire contained in this situation, that this unkempt atom of humanity, who finds himself, for the first time in his life, out of the gutter he always grovelled. should look down upon a servant who is upon the respect he feels in his life, and not a guest," opens a new line of comedy not heretofore seen on the screen and is certainly refreshing. The entire story is filled with fast moving action, dramatic scenes, tense situations and splendid climaxes, with every character in the hands of an artist of the very first rank. Headed by James K. Hackett, Effie Shannon and Mabel Juliette Campbell, the cast includes Ruby de Remer, Paula Shay, William B. Adams, Hugh Thompson, Dora Mills Adams, Thea Talbot and William Bechtel. This picture will be shown at the Attucks Theatre Wednesday and Thursday of next week.

He paid $22,500 for the Spokane property. Trouble began as soon as he moved in. The first day painters were put to work on the side of the building. The rich white roundabout gathered and began hurling potatoes at the workmen. When these latter moved to the rear of the house, the pelting was kept up and they were finally compelled to stop work. All day the crowd grew and was further incited to violent action in the afternoon by the appearance of the doctor on the porch in consultation with a police captain. One boy was arrested during the day. Shortly before eight o'clock in the evening Dr. Turner was counselled to leave the house by the officers and driven to the windows of which the members of the mob threw misses, striking him, his chauffeur and, oddly enough, the police guard, Lee Bulhard.

When the officer left, Jim is alleged to have told him he would never again enter his home alive. But Eason came back. This time to serve a warrant on Jim for resisting on officer and accompanying him were, his brother, Miller Eason and Alvah Jenkins. Eason knocked to let Jim know that he had come again to enter his home but he did not. Ballard shot him dead. The other two men fled, one of them hiding in the bushes or the other going to town for help. Jim Ballard was a hunted man for two days following.

The Press Holds Conflicting Views On Spingarn Award Some Severely Criticise and Three Warmly Congratulate The Committee of Award On Its Choice. Considerable difference of opinion has been expressed over the recent award of the Amy Spingarn Medal to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The medal was presented to Mr. Johnson Tuesday in Denver at the annual sessions of the N. A. A. C. P. The award has been criticised from about the same viewpoint in at least three papers and commended in three others to date. The line of argument in the critical editorials is that the award has not been made in accord, that is, in strict accord, with the conditions under which it is ostensibly to be awarded. The Pittsburgh Courier, the New York Amsterdam News, and the Chicago Whip criticise the a war severely, notwithstanding the fact, as they admit, that Mr. Johnson is a "brilliant, energetic, and dynamic character, who is certainly worthy of commendation." The St. Luke Herald of Chamond, the Savannah Triville, and the Baltimore Afro-American decline in effect that the award was deserved and most logical. Says the St. Luke Herald: "No man in public life today is a more worthy recipient of this much coveted prize." That paper continues: "The award is given to the person of African descent who has most worthily contributed to the assets of the colored people. This year, Mr. Johnson's services as an author, diplomat and matriarch have been inspired by suspicious indices of his worth. Especially as a public servant do Mr. Johnson's services recommended themselves. "Alert, polished, straightforward and courageous, he brings in a woman for a passion story, fair play for members of his race. "It is gratifying that he can do these things without making us ashamed of the usual blatancy and hypocrisy." The Savannah Tribune takes a further step and asserts that the committee of Award has not only honored Mr. Johnson, but has honored itself by its award. The Tribune says editorially: "The committee on the ones honored were justly so. This year the Committee has honored itself in selecting James Weldon Johnson is the winner of this medal. What's the use telling our readers about Mr. Johnson. His work along racial lines for all these years speaks for itself." To this the editorials which oppose the award say indirectly; "but it is not what he has done all these years" but what he has done the past year which is supposed to win the award. For instance, the Courier takes the stand that Mr. Johnson has done not distinct public good this year. If never should have been awarded the medal, that paper claims, it should have been when he made his disclosures about Haiti. The Afro-American reviews briefly the three criticisms levelled at the award and states that of these criticisms, the second appears to it to be the most pertinent. The second criticism that paper refers to this criticism that all executives of the N. A. A. C. P.

"However," declares the Afro, if the Committee, headed as it is so such eminent citizens as Bishop John Hurst, feels that its close official relation to Mr. Johnson does not disqualify him, the rest of us are bound to agree with their judgment and congratulate the winner."

A good plan would probably be to award all remaining officers and interested individuals the Springgard Medal this year and beginning next year seek out someone not connected with the N. A. A. C. P. group," continues the News. The News goes on to state that it does not wish to criticise the awards to Professor Just, Colonel Charles Young, Harry Burleigh, Wm. Stanley Braithwaite, Charles Gilpin, George W. Carver, or Roland Hayes. "We even commend the Committee of Award for predeceased students to the late Mary B Talbert for her distinguished service in restoring the home of Frederick Douglass," declares the News. But it does look askance at the awards to DuBois, Grimke and now Johnson. The Amsterdam News speak frankly, it says, because: "We dislike seeing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People turned into a mutual admiration society, where the awarding concerned, unless, of course, it is strictly to be awarded within the N. A. A. C. P. group. And since this was not the spoken intention of the donor, we resent its being awarded to officers to whom its awarding is directly or indirectly intrusted, no matter how great their achievement is, to be possible, modest, broadminded stand to take for the permanent good of the National Association and as an impetus to the American Negro to higher achievement." The third paper which criticise the award, the Chicago Whip "James Welton Johnson is the eleventh recipient of the Spingar medal. Johnson is a brilliant, energetic and dynamic character, who is certainly worthy of commendation, but as to the comparative value of his achievements we are not so sure. It is patient and obvious that no physician no lawyer nor any business man has yet been awarded the Spingar medal. No business man, regardless of his constructive and creative attitude notwithstanding his lack making places for black boys and girls, has received the faculty of the Spingar Committee. Singers, poets, preachers and talkers are the subject for this significant Spingar trophy. It is very noticeable, however, that in recent years that award is not taken seriously, nor indicative of the real achievement of black men. It seems that it is a syndicated affair that encourages long haired men and short haired women." PHOEBUS, VA.

In so far as concerned its patients, this had been already accomplished, as more than 60 per cent of the patients are colored people.

PAGE EIGHT N. C. GOVERNOR IS AGAINST BRUTALITY IN PRISON CAMPS Governor McLean Declares Conditions Now Better Among The State Charges. Raleigh, N. C., July 2—"I am determined to throw the full influence of the State behind the prosecution of parties found guilty of administering brutal or inhuman treatment to prisoners," declared Governor Angus Walton McLean recently, after he had received a report from Pardon Commissioner Sink on conditions in North Carolina prison camps. The Governor added: "Although our investigations reveal that there is not at present any instances of brutal treatment of prisoners in North Carolina prison camps, we are watching the situation closely." The impression given was that future cases of brutality would suffer even greater punishment than that meted out to the two men who killed a Negro prisoner in North Carolina by beating him. The investigation of the prison camps was ordered by Governor McLean after the expose of conditions at the Rocky Point camp, where two guards recently were found guilty and sentenced to 20 years camp for beating to death the Negro prisoner mentioned above. The Commissioner said that in his report there was no disclosure of inhuman treatment at the present time. "On the other hand," Commissioner Sink explained, "I found these men well trented. They have instituted a crude form of student government by which the prisoners themselves determine, by majority vote, the preference of working hours and half holidays." Governor McLean denied reports that he would make any recommendations for sweeping changes in North Carolina prison laws to the next legislature. He said that in line with his inaugural declarations, he would continue the policy of indeterminate sentences in order that prisoners may be encouraged to qualify for executive clemency permitted under the law. The worst thing said, "could do the good of hope in the face of its charges. I shall hold out to them every hope I can in consonance with the law of the State. "One of the troubles with the prison situation in North Carolina is that some men, including Joseph Daniels, inmates of the state coddle its prisoners and the next that the prison be self-supporting."

CAROLINIAN GIVES HIS STATE ANOTHER BIG LAUREL WREATH Compares Florida Flogging And North Carolina Flogging And Points Out Difference In Degree Of Each. Recently much favorable comment and many nice bouquets have been cast North Carolina's way from various sources in various sections of the country because of the progress that State has been making in its road building program, its educational program and several other phases of civic ac Now comes along one of its citizens and places the State ahead of the class in another particular instance, and one in which it is doubtful if Carolina will relish the distinction. Mr. A. W. Vastory, of Rocky Mount, writes to the Journal and Guide nominating and electing his State to the head of the particular class as follows: "North Carolina leads in a great many things, but this last occasion for standing out in front is something of doubtful value. When Martin Talbert, Florida comet, was so severely applauded by the crowd from pneumonia, the whole nation was shocked. Florida went to the head of the class as having produced the abysmal brute of the century, a man who was capable not only of murder but of murdering a man placed by the law in his keeping and rendered helpless by the force that society uses to治 off, even before the beating started. "Now Florida is disbanded. North Carolina's star has eclipsed that of the State of Flowers as a rising sun dwarfs the feeble ray of a canale. North Carolina has literally snatched from the shoulders of Florida the bloody mattle of brutality and has wiped a gory hand with a snearing gesture across his body, blotting out Florida's ignominious case and submitting one even more terrible. "The swift justice that was meted out to the guards in Rocky Mount brings a measure of satisfaction, and the untimely death of the convict who was beaten into a pulp and then killed outright, will probably case the burden in a great many prison camps in the State. North Carolina has moved to the head of the class, as a first or second grade pupil moves to the head of a spelling class, and henceforth can cast no stones at any state in the Union."

Sevier Hoped To Bring About Deeper Interest In Africa. G. gesbororo, N. C., July 1—In an effort to gather African Curios and products for exhibition at the Sesqu-Centennial to be held in Philadelphia in June 1926, the Rev. S. S. Sevier, a native of Africa, has been appointed by the Commis- sioners of the Sesqu-Centen- tial to the Negro Republic of Liberia in the West Africa, and the re- placement of Rev. Sevier's trip will be placed in the commercial museum in Philadelphiia. Rev. Sevier is admirably fitted by broad experience, and by being a native of Africa himself, to accomplish his aims, which are, beside that of a collector of curios and products, to awaken a deepen interest in Africa and to establish if possible trade between Africans and the American Negro in an effort to channel some of the African wealth to America. Rev. Sevier does not entertain the idea of encouraging Negro immigration to Africa, for he believes it far more plausible to bring some African wealth here then to try to induce American Negroes to go to Africa, where many would lose their lives because of lack of adaptability to African climate. *Stewardess Board No. 1, of the Morning Star Church, met with Mrs. L.

Prof. Connor puts its squarely to the Richmond Negroes by asking the stinging question: "Do colored people of Richmond want colored leadership in our schools?" They may or may want them but the fact remains that the colored people have no concerted effort to get it has been stated by a prominent teacher, here, who was at one time president of the State Teacher Association, that when at once they were drawing up a petition to present to the Board of education in an effort to have cooled principals placed in the schools, it caused an internal war among the teachers of Richmond, the majority of whom refused to teach their names to it, declaring that they would fight for the retention of white principals.

SOUTHERN FOLK-LORE SUBJECT OF STUDY American Folk-Lore Society Appoints Philadelphia To Undertake Study of Folk Lore of Southern States. --- Philadelphia, Pa.—The recent announcement that at Arthur Huff Fausett, a graduate student in Anthropology, with Dr. Frank G. Speck, professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, had been appointed by the American Folk Lore Society to make his monthly tour of the Misericordia Alabam and other southern States for the purpose of investigating and recording the folk lore of that region has brought forth considerable interest in the work of the appointee.

COMMUNITY FUND GROWS AT HALF YEAR-MARK Colored subscribers of Richmond are in arrears over a thousand dollars on their pledges toward the Community Fund, according to a letter written recently to representative Colored citizens of Howe and T. Cree, director of the fund. The exact due from Negro pledgers according to the letter is $1,619.50. The Colored people of Richmond subscribed $10,290.75 to the fund and four of the member agencies, receiving from the fund $15,063, devote themselves exclusively to welfare work among Race people. This does not include other of agencies "which planned their races and every penny subscribed is needed to meet the obligations of agencies "which planned their work this year on faith in all the subscribers to the fund." The letter is The text of Mr. Cree's letter in full follows: "You will be glad to learn that colored people subscribed $10,290.75 to the Community Fund during the campaign last November. This was a fine showing of the interest and spirit of the race in an effort to unify the activities of all our people along lines of social welfare. "You will also be pleased to know that four member agencies are exclusively devoted to welfare work among colored people and will receive from the fund this year $15,068.00 for maintenance of their work. This does not include other agencies which are serving both races. One half of the year has now gone by and the colored subscribers are in arrears $1,619.50 in their pledges. We shall need every penny subscribed in order to meet our obligations to the agencies which planned their work this year on faith in all the subscribers to the fund. "Monthly statements sent some subscribers who are in arrears have not brought the returns we expected, hence we are writing to you to ask that you use your influence in public and private to urge your people to meet their objections. Moreover, I am personally ambitious for your Race in Richmond that they may demonstrate to the world that their pledges are as conscientiously recognized as any other racial group. I am sure you see the wisdom of this and confident we can count on you to have your people who are in arrears pay up very promptly even at some sacrifice to themselves. The trick is "Thanking you for your co-op ention, I am, "Very truly yours." RICHMOND "GOES WEST" HAMILTON GODS WEST For a while Sunday looked as if the whole city was sweating westward when the great conglomeration of automobiles, trucks, buses and everything that would move on four wheels, moved west from Mrs. Ella O. Waller's block on W. Leigh street. The block, literally speaking, black with people and automobiles, w a s the meeting place of the great throng that went west as far as Manakin, Va., a settlement about 17 miles from Richmond, to help a worthy, but poor struggling church. When it was announced that the affair was gotten up and managed by Mrs. Ella O. Waller, whose magnetic charm and powers simply drew the people to her, no one wonders at the tremendous crowd; no one expects anything but enormous amount of money. That is just what happened Sunday, when Mrs. Mankin, Va., Rev. Jos. Carrington, the pastor. The occasion being a rally in which they raised nearly $1,000.

We are all glad Amundsen and Ellsworth, with their co-workers, got back from the North Pole with their lives. Their airship experiment failed, but it may have opened the way for future success. Amundsen says he is going to make another trial to reach the North Pole. Before he left for his summer vacation last week President Coolidge delivered another broadside on economy in spending the public moneys and possible big reductions in taxation by the next Congress because of the splendid savings through the budget system during the past two years. We are all with the President in his economy program. For twenty-five years Mrs. Louisa Wetherill has lived and labored among the Indians of New Mexico, especially the Navajos, and she is convinced that industrial training is the only way to solve the Indian's problems. That appears to be the need of most backward people. If they can't do the ordinary things that make for food and clothing and housing they can't get anywhere worth going. Our missionaries are beginning to understand that what the Native Africans need most is industrial education. Given that, other sorts of education will follow. Does our group need it less in the United States? It is among our most urgent needs. The United States does not intend to restore their sovereignty to the Haitian people. On the contrary, it is announced that a clause in the original protocol gave the parties concerned the option to extend American Occupation ten years. The original agreement, it is claimed, was made by reason of threats and force, and the ten year extension announced was made by a Haitian government set up and controlled by the American authorities. The United States needs Haiti in its business. The sad part about the whole business is that the Haitian people, their leaders, are responsible for the misfortunes that have come upon them as a thief in the night and from which they find they cannot shake themselves free. New York Sets the Pace There are many things in which New York does not set the pace, many of them vital in the life of the race, such as the development of the economic and financial side of life; but in other things, also vital, it does set the pace, and there are signs that the things that it does set the pace will enable it to brace up in the things in which it does not. Success in one direction often opens the way to success in many others. Growth in anything is usually very slow, and it is difficult to force it. In civil matters, especially such as appertain to politics and charitable uplift work, the race in New York, has had wonderful success. The charitable development has been of a non-political character and has been due to the public spirit of New Yorkers, who lead the country in works of philanthropy and contributions for such deserving causes as appeal most for assistance for the common welfare, both in money values and personal service. We have made wonderful progress in the politics of New York, because a very large percentage of the race vote long ago broke away from the Republican machine and cooperated under its own leadership with the Tammany Hall Democracy. We have mixed schools as to teachers and pupils and principals, in New York; in the civil service we have a fair share of what belongs to us, and in appointive offices we fare equally as well. After years of effort to get a standing in the hospital service of New York, it has just been announced that an opening has been made in the Harlem Hospital, by naming five of our group as assisting visiting physicians and surgeons, with the understanding that the entire personnel of the hospital will be gradually transferred to the race. The patrons of the hospital are more than 50 per cent of our group, but we have not Editorial Page of hitherto enjoyed any of the official responsibilities of the hospital. It is a very great advance for the race and for our medical men, some of the strongest of whom we have in New York City. We are making our way gradually in letters, in the learned professions, in every avenue of thought and effort, and we are getting more encouragement than opposition in doing so, on the theory perhaps that nothing succeeds like success. The race has every reason to be encouraged in well doing. Results count, and every little helps. However small, however large, therefore, your job, make a good one of it and you will have your own satisfaction and the praise of your fellows. Death of Radicals The death of Senator Robert M. La-Follette of Wisconsin removes a thorn from the side of President Coolidge which must give him infinite relief, as the Senator was leader of the Radicals who stood in the way of most of the policies advocated by the President. He has been doing that for other Presidents ever since he got into National politics. He called himself a Republican, and he was perhaps more surely one than those whose policies he opposed. In the last campaign he ran for President on a platform of his own, but his showing in the voting was greatly below what was generally expected. That is because Independent parties, so called, have very little favor with American people. They showed that most decisively when they defeated Theodore Roosevelt and his Progressives. The death of Senator E. F. Ladd of North Dakota, following fast upon the death of Senator LaFollette, with whom he was in sympathetic cooperation, further weakened the Republican Radical group in the Senate, and should make it easier sailing in Congress for the Coolidge Administration in the future. The Republican party never seemed better organized and stronger than it is today, and the Democratic party never seemed more disorganized and weaker, while the hundred and one Radical organizations are working as independently of each other as they have always done. How the parties will line up four years from now we shall have to study to find out as we go along. The Afro-American partisan appears to be entirely outside the political breastworks. Will he ever get inside? Decrease in Foreign Labor Supply Helps Our Group The industrial outlook of our group has been wonderfully brightened and stimulated by the new immigration restrictions upon foreign labor, both of the unskilled, and the skilled kind, by creating a demand for our labor in most parts of the country and at better wage, working hours and conditions of work. Indeed, our labor supply is being drawn upon in such a way as to absorb most of it, and it will depend upon our workers to make a position for themgels during the next ten years, by which time the exclusion policy will have been tried out, which will make it unwise, if not unnecessary to let down the bars again for the incoming of alien labor. It is worthy of note, here, that our own thinkers among the wage-earners are moving for a more general and permanent organization, encouraged by the Federal Department of Labor. This is apparent in several directions; and the American Federation of Labor is making a drive to get more of our workers into its great organization. The National Industrial Conference Board, in an analysis just made, finds that the trend of common labor has been away instead of into the country since the 2 per cent quota immigration law went into effect in July of last year. This will be surprising information for many people. "The report shows that common laborers admitted from July, 1924, to April, 1925, were 27,908, against 97,886 during the corresponding period of the previous year, but 44,750 of that class left the country during the same time leaving a deficit of 16,842. Net immigration of all classes from July to April shows a decrease of 71.4 per cent against the corresponding period the year before. A total of 242,965 persons were admitted during the ten months, under the new quota law, as against 637,602 during the previous period, showing a decline of 62 per cent. From July to April 78,578 departed, compared with 63,324, leaving a net immigration during the last ten months of 164,387 against 574,278 the corresponding ten months prior to the new quota law." One of the reasons for the return of so many foreigners is that they cannot now bring their families here. When they have made the necessary money, they go to their families as their families cannot come here to them. That is very natural, very human. We can't say we have any sympathy for the foreign labor group, as they had none whatever for us under the old order, when they virtually controlled the labor supply, and organized unions in all of the trades, and would not work with black folks at all. In common labor, in 'specialized work, in the skilled trades it was the same. They had the monopoly and would not tolerate a black or yellow face among them. The reversal shows that the "long arm and high hand" is a dangerous game to play at, as it is sure to return to plague those who resort to it. Both Races Minute Bathing Beaches In Washington The Washington correspondent of the Springfield (Mass. Daily News, writing to his news paper on the bathing beach situation in the capital describe a number of congressmen who are in Washington during the The Afro-American is now having the chance of his life to make good as an indispensable industrial force, and we should all hope and do what we can to help him to make the most of it so that he may keep it for all time as his, he being a part of the brain and brawn of the Nation. Making Laws Without End And Increase of Crime The law's delay has been set up in most cases as excuse for mob violence, especially in the Southern States, where the laws are both made and enforced, especially as against Afro-American citizens, by those who make and enforce the laws, or should, and those who make up the mobs and excuse their criminal acts. That is to say, those who make and enforce the laws condemn themselves and the laws they make when they resort to mob violence, or other discriminatory acts, because the laws they make are not enforced. They are not enforced because those who make them do not respect them enough to obey them and insist by mob violence upon others doing what they themselves refuse to do. The South is learning by hard, sad experience, that, as Dr. Washington used to say, "there can't be one law for the white and one law for the black man—there must be one law for both." Until it learns thoroughly and applies rigidly this rule of civil justice neither the white nor the black man will be safe from too much law on the one hand and too much mob violence on the other hand. The following summary of the multiplication of laws in one year will astonish the reader: With more, than 1,000 bills introduced in each of fifteen States, the various Legislatures throughout the United States adjourned the 1925 sessions with a grand total 38,844 bills introduced, of which 10,800 are now law. New York led the thirty-eight states which held legislative sessions in number of bills proposed with 3,186, with 686 enacted into law. North Carolina headed the list with the enactment of 1,173 measures out of 1,173 offered. These figures are from the legislative report of the National Industrial Council, submitted yesterday. "It will thus be seen," adds the report, "that so far as volume of output is concerned, the 1925 State lawmakers failed to respond to the widespread public sentiment in favor of less legislation." Most of these laws are not needed at all. Most of them are in restraint of personal liberty and to promote private and corporate interests at the expense of the mass of the people. Many of the new laws conflict with old laws. It is impossible for courts and lawyers and law enforcement officers to keep track of the old and the avalanche of new laws turned out every year by Congress and the legislatures of the several states. "Too many laws," is the complaint of National and State bar associations and of tax payers generally. It is a fair statement of the case that the Nation would be greatly the gainer if Congress and the state legislatures should not meet again nor enact another law for the next ten years. When they do meet they have to do something as a justification for meeting and what they do is more damaging than beneficial to the general welfare. --- Spirit of the Press Sentiment Against Lynching Slowly Growing From Christian Science Monitor. One should not incur the stigma of being unduly optimistic when claiming to see, in the report being prepared by the commission on race relations of the Federal Council of Churches, indications of a more complete awakening of the moral sense, in the important direction covered by it, than ever before. "Slowly growing public opinion against lynching" is recorded by this commission as responsible for the prevention of threatened lynching in fifteen communities in 1924, only sixteen cases of lynching having occurred during the year. This represents the lowest figure since statistics were available, and compares more than favorably with the fifty-one lynchings and seventeen preventions in 1914. The report explains that sheriffs or other officials often manifested great moral courage in protecting their prisoners, and adds that public opinion is more and more insistently calling upon officers to uphold the law. Any evidence of regard for the law is at least as entitled to adequate recognition as the occasional evidences of disregard for it which of late years have been played up so unceasingly by certain lawless elements among the people. Both RacesMinus Bathing Beaches In Washington The Washington correspondent of the Springfield (Mass.) Daily News, writing to his newspaper on the bathing heach situation in the capital describes a number of congressmen who are in Washington during this hot weather as being remorseful and conscience striken mortals over having been the instruments through which race prejudice was permitted to thwart the proposal for added bathing facilities and to destroy those already in existence. This remorse he says is heightened by "the unusually large number of drownings in the waters near the city, as many as six a day at one time." This correspondent, who frankly lays the blame for the situation as it exists right at the door of race prejudice in Congress, which Congress itself has not admitted, sums it up as follows: "The bathing beaches provided in the past at the public expense had been made very safe to use. They were artificial to be sure, having been established in the Tidal basin, but in addition guards were engaged to watch the places where the water was deep. The water was moreover kept in a sanitary condition by the use of chlorine. Killed By Race Prejudice "The beach for the whites had been in use for some years and had been constructed at a cost of nearly $100,000. Congress arranged for a bathing beach for the colored people of the city, since the races do not mingle in the swimming, but the authorities were a long time in agreeing upon a site, for the colored people wanted one as good as the whites had. It was decided to establish it also in Tidal basin but at a point about a half mile away from the whites' beach. Race prejudice in Congress at once arose abetted by Northern white prejudice, and Congress got rid of the colored bathing beach by ordering that there should be no bathing beach at all in the Tidal basin and this order, of course, did away with the whites' beach. 'This was commanded to be dismantled. "The government authorities were ordered to find new sites and to report to Congress next winter. The ostensible reason given by Congress was that the water in the basin must be bad for the swimmers although nobody ever had died from any disease because of having bathed in the Tidal basin. Logic and truth, however, did not count for anything in the effort to get the colored bathing beach out of Potomac park, where the Tidal basin is. "All this happening last winter the city did not feel very much concern over the matter. It was cold at the time and the public bathing did not appear pressing." Suffering During Recent Heat Waye "But there came along the late heat, with the city day after day swintering in a torridity that went as high as 107 degrees. The Potomac Far From Safe "There was no place in the city to do any safe bathing in except a few private pools. Hitherto the Tidal basin beach had been very safe, indeed, for there were guards there to watch at the deep places. The people suffered immensely and they did seek the water, in this instance the Potomac river which is never very pure and has many dangerous spots. Going in anywhere to bathe was a perilous matter for those not expert in swimming. So there have been an annual number of drownings and the congressmen in town, noticing this, have expressed their remorse and Blanton of Texas, who had been one of the chief factors in getting the bathing beaches killed by law has been most vociferous in his regrets. There have been others similarly minded. "They have urged the public authorities to stop demolishing the bathing beaches at once and that money be raised by public subscription to meet expenses of reopening the beaches despite the edict of Congress. All this is still the nicer since the colored bathing beach could not be opened; it had never got so far in construction as to be complete and ready for use. Situation Is Involved "It remains to be seen what will happen. If the beaches are not opened it is likely that the drownings this season will loom up as very large and should be a plague to Congress when it convenes next December." Saturday, July 4, 1925 "Up From Monkey Or Down From God" Dr. Charles Satchel Morris Talks on Evolution the first chapter of Genesis—In the beginning God. Given an all wise, all powerful, all loving God and we do not need the eight hundred "we may well supposes," of Darwin to account for matter and life. God tells us in the first chapter of Genesis that God made the grasses, the herbs, the fruit trees—each after his kind that accounts for vegetation. When he tells us simply and grandly that he made the fish to swim after his kind—that is that fish would produce only fish—a fatal blow to evolution. He made the birds after his kind another iron force of Divine law locked up the instincts of the animals to prevent birds mating with any other bird not of its kind. It might almost seem that the great Holy Spirit that inspired Moses to write this sublime account knew of this bold and unscientific attempt in the name of science to discredit God's word and so nine times in the very first chapter of Genesis the spirit caused Moses to emphasize the fact that when God made the various forms of life he locked up an instinct in the being of each of the three million different species of life that would forever prevent it from repreflucing any other species but itself, and so of proving evolution to be utterly groundless, for Darwin had to admit that there was no proof of spontaneous gestation of life and that in all the three million species, "though they had many tribal observations, yet not a single case of one species going over into the other had been found." Next week Dr. Morris will continue the discussion of Evolution.

The Negro has city problems too. He needs a center for education, recreation and service, such as the Y. M. C. A. furnishes in its buildings, and this need has been emphasized since the recent migrations to Northern cities. The Negro lacked the means to provide such facilities. This led me to make an offer which stimulated white and colored people to work together for the same cause. They raised the needed funds, constructed the buildings and cooperated in the management of the complete property. The Y. M. C. A. appealed to me for this work because it could organize and protect the Negroes—be a big brother to a neglected group. This movement has resulted in eighteen buildings in fifteen cities. Two of the buildings are for women and girls—in New York and Philadelphia. The total value of the property is more than three million dollars. Of that amount, colored people gave nearly four hundred thousand dollars. White friends, in various cities, gave more than a million and a half. The acquisition of money is largely a matter of luck; a man inherits money or he stumbles upon some money-making opportunity. In my own case, I luckily, at the right moment, fell into a business that had great money-making possibilities. The fact that I have been commercially successful is not due so much to my ability as to great luck. There are, no doubt, men right here in this business (Sears, Roebuck & Co.) today working for modest wages who would have made a greater success of it than I have, had they had my opportunity. Having made money, my problem now is how to use it so as to give and get happiness out of it. I am glad of the privilege of trying to help the Negro climb out of the ditch. (By Associated Negro Press) Newark, N. J., July 1—When two small boys started a fist-fight Thursday night they had little idea that it would eventually reach the proportions of a race riot. A few minutes after the boys started their melee members of each race rushed forward to support their particular, representative and it was necessary to call out the reserves to quiet the opposing forces. No one was seriously injured. II. Organic Evolution By organic evolution is meant that theory or guess of science, especially popularized by Darwin, which assumes, but does not pretend to prove that all life on the earth came from one or two primordial cells—perhaps one for vegetable life and one for animal life—all vegetable life probably coming from the Algae—the lowest form of seaweed and developing upward till we reach the oak, palm and maple. Evolution also assumes that all animal life comes from some low form of animal life called the protoplasm, with out organs, sense—no eyes, ears, limbs, hands or feet that in millions and millions of years by slight but constant variation, new species a little higher than the parents were produced and still newer ones until now from that one cell life, a fish egg all the host and varied forms of life we see on earth today came out of that one cell. This not only makes the protoplasm the great great grandfather of all creeping things, all swimming things, all flying things, all beasts and cattle—but; all mankind also. In other words it makes the protoplasm well nigh omnipotent—and yet it begs the question sadly, because it does not tell us where it got matter from nor where it got life nor where the tremendous resident force that produces these great effects come from. 800 times in his "Descent of Man," and the "Origin of Species," Darwin uses his favorite formula, we may well suppose. But what is the need of pony, short sighted little man guessing and well supposing when we have the solemn and stately word of God recorded in Because I am interested chiefly in white people I take an interest I take an interest in the Negro. There are twelve million Negroes in America. They are here to stay. That's a tenth of our population. It's a question whether we want them to be vicious or decent.

It's a question whether we want them to be vicious or decent. I prefer to have my children and grandchildren live where there Mr. Rosenwald is no ignorant, uncouth and vicious underprivileged class. If we would keep the Negro down we must stay down with him. It was this thought that first interested me in the Negro. Booker Washington said: "You can't keep a man in the ditch without staying in with him and you can't get out of the ditch without him climbing out too." Soon after I had read "An American Citizen," a biography of William H. Baldwin, the friend of Tuskegee, written by John Graham Brooks, I met Booker Washington. He asked me to become one of the Tuskegee Institute trustees. In that way I became interested in education for Negroes. In one of my talks with Dr. Washington he pictured to me the miserable condition of Negro secondary schools in the South and asked me to finance an experiment in extension work that would cost about $25,000. I did it. The experiment was a success. There was $2,000 left over. Dr. Washington asked me if I would let him use it to help build a number of experimental country schoolhouses. His idea was to interest both the white people and colored people in the building of modest but substantial and comfortable schools in given rural communities, donating one fourth of the cost when one fourth had been raised by the Negroes themselves and the balance by the white people. The plan worked so well and aroused so much interest that before the first of these schools was built there were applications for funds for more. The idea spread and kept spreading with the result that we have over 2,800 schoolhouses for Negroes in the fourteen Southern states. They represent an investment of nearly twelve million dollars. About 55 per cent has been contributed by Southern white people and out of public funds; and about 22 per cent has been raised by colored people. The Julius Rosenwald Fund, as it is now called, has contributed 18 per cent and supervised the construction. The results have been so gratifying that there is a feeling of satisfaction and a desire to increase rather than limit the work. Wherever these schools are built A. H.
