In spite of certain well-recognized forces that are working to retard an amenable solution of America's race problem, there are on the other hand, equally as well recognized, but more fruitful agencies working toward a christianly and intelligent solution of the problem. Noted among these latter forces is the recent movement of prominent society women who will attempt to advance better relations through seven important meetings to be held in their respective homes during this month. One of the prominent women of this group is Mrs. Henry L. Schmeltz, of Hampton, Va., the State of John Powell and Earnest S.

Aug. 12—Richmond today is preparing to be host to one of the largest gatherings of colored people ever assembled in any Southern city, and the local committee, under the efficient management and direction of Mr. M. A. Norrell, General Chair, is straining every nerve in order to merit the honor and distinction that has been conferred upon him by the Grand Lodge of Elks. Mr. Norrell, when interviewed this morning by a Journal and Guide reporter, was very optimistic in regard to the success of the convention. He states that about twenty-five thousand reservations have already been made, and that applications for delegates are coming in daily. On being asked as to how many people he expected to attend the convention, he replied in earnestments for 50,000, and that he felt confident that by the middle of the coming week arrangements for that number will have been completed. He also states that they have been successful in securing ample feeding places, so that every delegate to the Grand Lodge will be able to eat rapidly and cheaply. They have also arranged with several of the churches to feed as many as they can. On being asked as to what the prices of meals would be, he said that meals would be served at a maximum price of 75c; this price having been set out in the bulletin which has been sent throughout the country; while sleeping space will be $1.50. He stated that the Union Council would be housed at 100, and Hartshorn Memorial College about 200, making a total of about 600 that can be housed and fed at these two places. Vice President Call, of the R. F. & P. Railroad has promised the committee that he would cooperate with them in the fullest and that the delegates would receive the most courteous attention, and that he would put up a welcome sign at his own expense. He also stated that they could have an Information Booth in the station and hire all the porters that might be necessary and the Railroad Company would pay for some.

Race barriers and race antipathy are shaking the foundations of American democracy, declare of Bishop Robert E. Jones, of the Methodist Episcopal Church in an address before the Men's Council at Round Lake, N. Y. Friday of last week. The Bishop further pointed out that the good-natured, docile Negro is being transformed and he is becoming resentful of treatment accorded him. The Bishop said: "If we will keep in mind that the Negro does not want philanthropy but just wants the man who wants a chance, not charity, we shall have an approach to the subject of race relations that will give us finally an entirely different result to which we have had hetereofe." To Deport Garvey Garvey, the incarcerated president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has had a hearing before the United States immigration agent in Atlanta, Ga., and a warrant for his deportation to Kingston, Jamaica, at the conclusion of his prison sentence has been issued.

One more of the group, Earl "Doc" McMillan awaits August 28, when Fails To Understand Why Intelligent Negroes Refuse To Line Up In The Back To Africa Movement. Major Earnest S. Cox of Richmond, spoke to a large audience at the City Armory Sunday afternoon in a mass meeting held under auspices of the local branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Major Cox's speech followed the tenor of his writings on Marcus Garvey. He strongly endorsed the Garvey colonization movement as advocated by the Improvement Association head, and took to task all Negroes who have failed to fall in line with the back to Africa idea. The speaker stated that he was puzzled to understand why intelligent colored people failed to see what he and Mr. Garvey see as the salvation offered to Negroes. He spoke of the Negro's oppression in America and held out to the race the hope of redemption in Africa. Marcus Garvey was again characterized by Major Cox as a great leader. Mr. Cox also scored the write men who have been responsible for miscegement. Numerous other speakers were on the program. It was a typical Garvey meeting, and the speech were similar to those Garvey's followers are in. All of them lauded their leader, who is now in Atlanta Federal Prison and declared that the movement would continue. Foreign Critics Acclaim Davis John P.

When the (Continued on Pune Three) Garvey Prosecution Not Instigated By Rival Organization. But By New York Prosecutors. In the exchange of questions and answers between Mr. Earnest S. Cox and the Journal and Guide on Marcus Garvey's colorization scheme and Mr. Garvey's conviction and sentence to the Federal prison, as appeared in last week's issue of this newspaper, Mr. Cox in his reply to question, "Do you believe that he (Marcus Garvey) receive other things?" "Also I understand that the Judge who tried him (Marcus Garvey) was either a member or contributor to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." To the question, "Are you aware that he (Marcus Garvey) was prosecuted by members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association," Mr. Cox replied, "The leader of rival organizations or business enterprises, I am informed. How Charges Originated This week the Journal and Guide has been furnished with information from sources unquestionably reliable that the charges against Garvey originated with the prosecuting attorneys of New York city, and this before the Crisis, the N. A. A. C. P. organ, had ever mentioned Garvey and before the N. A. A. C. P. itself had known anything about his activities. The information is to the effect that the charges against Garvey originated in two ways. First, because of suits brought against him by members of his own organization who had invested in the defrauded Bike Line under the authorization, and the efforts of the State and city of New York to make Garvey stop violating the law in his issuing and selling stock. Judge Mack, who heard the charges against Marcus Garvey is not and was never a member of the N. A. A. C. P., the Journal and Guide is informed, though he may have during some time in his life contributed to the organization as hundreds of prominent white citizens have done. Not a member or officer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People appeared as a witness against Garvey. The Guide's informant a d d s, what was already well known, that the N. A. A. C. P. is in no wise a rival organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers MEETING OF A.M.E.

DOES NOT WANT GARVEY DEPORTED Richmond, Va.—Marcus Garvey, now serving a five-year sentence in the Federal prison at Atlanta for the Black Star Steamship line swindle, in which about $4,000,000 disappeared, has a new champion in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, probably the most widely circulated morning paper in the State. Monday, morning the Times-Dispatch says editorially that the recent government order that Garvey be deported to Jamiacea, British West Indies, which he is a native, at a conclusion of his prison term is a mistake, and that white America will demand a reconsideration of his case before it permits Marcus Garvey to be thrown out and carried back to Jamiacea. The Times-Dispatch is impressed by Garvey's talk of deportation of American greens, and 'leaving in the Richmond man puts it.' RICHMOND SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 1925 Newspaper Report Denied; Minister Is Vindicated Out of the mouth of a hundred witnesses who were in attendance upon the service in question was beyond the shadow of a doubt that every essential detail in the article "Stops Sermon to a Point" of Sermon to a Point is absolutely lost. The incident described had no existence outside the dim shadow realms of imagi- nation (Sizend): R. H. H. JOHNSON. We emphatically deny the statements in the erroneous articles "Stops Frederick in Midsummer to argue 'Furth.' We would not have alluded to any circumstances such an interruption of B. L. Allen, chairman; B. L. Blaney, M. D. W. S. Cowan, F. J. Monroe, Richard Randolph, Peyton Blunt, Edward Fairfax, Carl borne Johnson, D. vid Parsons, Joseph Ruse, Isaac Shores, J. J. Lewis, James Gray, John L. Venable George Johnson, Fortune Woold ridge, W. L. Johnson, church clerk In view of the fact that I was not present at the service in question and accepted as truth statements made on the street and in a public restaurant by Mr. Jacob Horne and since upon a more thorough investigation, I have suffered a reason for believing that the alleged disturbance did not occur that Mr. Horne did not do what he said he did, and that the statements released for publication by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Johnson, B. D. A. M. a, and officers of the church fully and truthfully relate what actually transpired, I therefore take this means of retracting the article "Stops Preacher in Mist of Sermon to Argue that appeared" in Norfolk Journal and Guide, issue July 18, 1925, to enhance the fortunate encounter and extend to the pastor, officers, and church this public retraction and apology to, giving publicity to the statements of Mr. Horne. St. John Watchman Completes Drive Richmond, Va. — The Saint John Watchman, a fraternal organization, under the able direction of Grand Master W. L. Wright, with headquarters here, is rapidly moving forward. They have just chosen a successful campaign for new members in which drive they were successful in securing enough to set up two complete lodges. On Wednesday night at the Grand Lodge Hall they held their initiation, setting apart the new lodges with sixty or more candidates which was followed with a splendid repast.

O. of St. Lake stands for and to demonstrate to the world the great work that this wonderful Order has been able to carry on. They expect to "bring home the bacon." MISSIONARY RETURNS Mrs. Elizabeth Coles Boley, missionary to Africa has returned to the city. Mrs. Boley has spent several years in Africa doing missionary work, suffering the many hardships that usually fall to the bit of those who choose this phase of missionary work as their life's endeavor. She addressed a large audience at Moore Street Baptist Church, at which time it is believed that she raised a large sum for missions. The Bon Bon Puzzles, a playlet, is to be presented to the public during the week of the Elks' convention here.

A joint meeting of all the Elks in the city, including the officers and members of both lodges was held at the Reformer Hall. Friday night. The meeting was presided over by M. A. Norrell, general chairman of the Convention Committee. Information and instruction was given to all Elks present in regards to the duty and the department of Elks during the week of the convention.

Gines, pastor of Hood Temple A. M. E. Zion Church. Rev. Clarke, who is enroute to Notfolk to attend the A. M. E. Zion Connection Council which meets in that city, August 12th, preached two wonderful sermons at Hood Temple Sunday. PLAYGROUND ASSOCIATION The Playground and Recreation Association under the supervision of Mrs. Alice Holmes Harris is doing a great work here. The work is expanding because children are becoming more and more accustomed to going to the playgrounds for play. All the playgrounds in the vicinity of the Association headquarters are usually filled so much that Mrs. Harris has engaged the big back yard of the Home of the Sabbath Gice Club at 18 Leigh street, for additional play space in that vicinity. The offices of the Sabbath Gice Club promise in casual terms that the association continues to use the yard—to help equip it with play material. The Wall Street Beneficial Club continues to be in the limelight, Thursday night they entertained the new members of the club at Market Inn, the leading pleasure resort around the city, all free. Tuesday they ran their annual excursion to Buckroe and carried a large crowd. The Overseas Missionary Society of the Ebenezer Baptist Church gave a lawn party on the lawn of the Friends Orphan Asylum at St Paul and Charity streets, Monday night for the benefit of the Asylum and for missions. Religious Pugeants are coming to be quite a fad and are being popularized by most of the churches. A beautiful pageant was presented at the Second Baptist Church, Tuesday night before a large crowd. SAYS MILLIONS LIVING WILL NEVER DIE. Millions now living will never die, was the subject of Mr. Thomas E. Banks, of Cincinnati, at the Reform Hall, Sunday night, speaking under the auspices of the International 4 Bible Students, Mr. Banks who was billed as a messenger of Peace told his audience that the work of destroying death will begin with the present generation. He said that the work of destroying death will never die. His audience, seemingly became damnified when he told them that Jesus came back to the earth in 1874 and that the second world ended in 1914. The speaker further declared that billions now dead will rise to greet and live with the millions that are now living that will never die. Christ will raise men up to human perfection and this world will again be the Garden of Eden, were also among the remarkable things said by Mr. Banks, whose entire lecture seemed to be too deep for his hearts. The Community Concert Band is recently organized and under the splendid direction of Mr. Thomas Barrett has been engaged to play for and to lead in the line of march the Pittsburgh Lodge of Elks, during the convention here in August. This band, a twenty-slice organization, is composed of 29 picked exonerated musicians taken mostly from the disbanded Municipal Band, which at one time was considered one of the best bands in the State. They are now rehearsing regularly and now promise to give a good account of themselves on the day of the big parade. Invitations have gone out to the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Harris for the private dance and entertainment given at Market Inn Tuesday night in honor of Dr. and Mrs. H. L. Harris, of Chicago, and Mrs. Constance Hill, who are in the city visiting relatives. They plan to remain until after the convention. Woman Displays Richmond, Va.—A young white woman displayed remarkable nerve and coolness in an automobile accident at the corner of Second and Leigh streets. Thursday evening, when her car was struck broadside, and turned completely over by another car driven by a white man. Doubled up underneath the car, a Ford touring, which was upside down with all four wheels spinning and the engine still running, she calmly turned off the engine, after which some colored men paled her out through the windshield opening, after which she brushed herself off, exchanged a few words with the other man, and a policeman jumped in her car and drove off. Gunmen Get 18 Years And Life Imprisonment (Continued from page 1.) hours and forty-five minutes detwelve men had deliberated on Worden's fate for nearly two hours without reaching a verdict, they are said to have reverently bowed their heads, while one of their number for six minutes invoked divine guidance that they might reach a just verdict. Worden is 23 years of age. Unless out of the future years there comes the intervention of a kindier fate, he will no more be known as Worden or Charlie but will go to his grave merely as a number. The crime Worden was alleged to have had a part in was a shocking one. Following his capture the police were furnished an alleged confession in which he is said to have admitted his guilt. With this alleged confession in possession of the State, he faced a jury with the die cast against him in a trial without a death penalty over his head, has been generally regarded as his good luck. He was ably defended by two The Brown Proud MRS. ARTENA J. MILLER, prominent business, society and freeternal woman of Richmond.

They fought strenuously to save him from the chair, scoring heaviest when they succeeded in blocking the attempt of the Stato-to place several witnesses on the stand, whose testimony was calculated to prove that Warden had participated in several other robberies at the end of a gun in which these witnesses had been victims. Not a single one of them were allowed to take the stand. Mr. Taylor contended that mansucas his client was being tried for murder, evidence tending to show that he had participated in other robberies was irrelevant, and that only the purpose of prejudicing the mind of the jurors against the accused. A legal tilt between Commonwealth Attorney Witteox and Mr. Taylor ensued over this point, but Judge Sargent sustained Mr. Taylor. Fight Over Confession For two hours during the morning session lawyers for both sides wrangled over the admissibility of the alleged confession as evidence. The defense protested and sought to prove that it had been obtained through threat and was therefore invalid. The Commonwealth put on the witness stand and asked of detectives who retained this contention. The State won the point when Judge Sargeant admitted to evidence the confession. Interesting Incident Interesting Incident One of the most interesting incidents in connecticut trial was the man's intelligence and intelligence displayed by an eight-year old colored girl placed on the witness stand by the State. Through her and other witnesses Mr. Wilcox was endeavoring to clear up the matter of identity. He asked her, "What is your name, quickly and in a clear voice, the child replied, Rosa Sample."

The next question was, "Do you know right from wrong?" Her reply was, "I do." Mr. Wilcox asked, "Do you know what would be the punishment for telling an untruth?" "Yes sir," the bright girl replied. A number of other questions were asked her, each one answered in a clear straight-to-ward manner, and a tone that could be heard throughout the To beautify bobbed hair, keep it in place, sleek, trim and naturally pretty requires no little amount of care.

When asked if she could identify Worden as one of the men she saw in Mr. Gregory's store at the time of the shooting, she admitted that she could not. She told the lawyer that when the shooting started her mother grabbed her and put her behind the counter. Lawyers for the defense asked her a few questions and these she answered with the same self-confidence. Word or Fails To Testify Warden did not go on the witness stand and face the jury. He was called to testify, however, during time the court was hearing evidence on the admissibility of the alleged confession, with the jury excluded from the courtroom. In this instance the defendant did not make a good witness for himself. He testified at one time that he gave the confession through fear and as quickly contradicted himself by admitting that detectives warned him immediately after his arrest that he did not have to talk unless he cared to. His counsel declined to call him back to the stand later when the jury was in the box. Jurors Examined Messrs Tate and Wagenheim examined each prospective juror, asking all of them if they felt that they could grant a fair trial to a colored man charged with the murder of a white man. All answered in the affirmative. Two ventrenne opposed capital punishment and the State asked that they be excused from jury duty in the case. In his argument to stress on his ability of the State's witness including Mr. Gregory and a woman and her eight year old daughter who were in the store when the shooting began, to identify Worden as one of the gunmen. The defense lawyer also kept in the minds of the jurors the possibility of the alleged confession not having been voluntarily made. If he stressed the reasonable fit, Mr. Wagenheim followed a similar argument in his summing up. Showed No Emotion Charles Worden showed no signs of nervousness during the whole trial. He heard the alleged confession read to the jury without any sign of emotion. He heard the Commonwealth's Attorney demand his life, without even a discernable twitch of a muscle. Throught the long period the jury was deliberating on his fate he sat apparently emotionless, if there was any noticeable emotion whatsoever, it was a faint smile. When directed to stand and hear the verdict he was on his feet quickly, and when the words which meant his confinement for him were read, he did not flinch. When asked if he had anything to say, there was no reply. White Gets 18 Years Frank White, alleged confederate in with Worten in previous criminal escapades, who was arrested following Worten's alleged concession on the night of the Gregory murder, was tried on a charge of robbery under force of arms Thursday in the same court and drew the maximum penalty, 18 years in the penitentiary. He was identified by the clerk of the D. P. Store, corner Washington avenue, as one of the men who held up that store on a Saturday night early in July. White was not implicated in the Gregory store mall, but his companionship with the gang alleged to have participated in that crime was his undoing. Somebody squared, which led to White's arrest, in connection with a previous robbery. His attorney, Colgate Darden, also appointed by the Court, put up a strong defense, but the jury found for the maximum penalty. White is 45 years old. He is due back here when he has reached the age of 60 years. With these two cases disposed of, the curtain is swiftly falling on the careers of the youthful terrorists. One more, Earl "Doc" McMillian remains to be tried. His case will be heard August 28. MONROE Monroe, N. C.-Miss Hough, R. N., and Mrs. B. L. Beauty, R.

HES & JEWELRY E KLAVANS INC LUME ST. Phone 27744 Wallace Wins 100 Mile Race By A Margin of Less Thad Two Minutes PAGE PCJR Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 10—With the roar of thousands of speed thrilled spectators ringing in his cars, "Bobby" Wallace, in his Trey of Hearts Special, passed the estuary mark in the Gold and Glory floating high on a parachute Fair Grounds, August 8, just one minute and 40 seconds ahead of Bill Carson, of Chicago, in his Lyons Special. Wallace made the one hundred miles in one hour 22 minutes and 25 2.5 seconds, maintaining an average speed of 64.9 miles per hour. Carson's time was 63.8 miles per hour. Twenty one cars started when the bomb was fired which sent Old Glory floating high on a parachute above the heads of the cheering fans but driver after was forced out of the race. Much disappointment was occasioned when Jeffries, of Chicago, was forced out on the ninth lap after a dazzling getaway. Hugo Barnes, local favorite, in his K. & B. Special, went through a fence at the 43rd lap and could not resume running although he was uninjured. Barnes was leading at the time of the accident but Carson Wallace for him. off for third place. W. W. Woods, of Indianapolis was flagged off for fourth place. All drivers who started received $60 consolation money. It is said that at no time in the history of the Fair Grounds have so many people attended a single event. That the Gold and Glory Sweepstakes was accepted as a national institution was attested by the presence of people from other cities who had come in for this particular event. Prizes were awarded at the Speedway Ball in Exposition Hall following the race when several hundred people gathered to dance. Prizes were $1250, $500, $250 and $150. The fact that no person was injured on the grounds nor was there any friction or annoyance witnessed is considered a splendid testimonial to the efficiency and thoroughness of the Indianapolis Colored Speedway directors and the class of drivers appearing. The 1925 Gold and Glory Sweepstakes will be improved in every way say the management. YOUNG-MAINOR GET CLUB TENNIS DOUBLES TITLE Local Club Tournament Completed With Postponed Doubles Finals. Aggressive teamwork and a clever exhibition of the modern game of tennis as constituted by the combination of well executed drives and effective net smashing won the doubles championship of the fidewater Tennis club, buddy after-the-fire. Young and Johnny Mainer. They defeated Landy Taylor, finalist in club's singles, and P. Bernard Young Jr., semi-finalist against McGriff, in straight sets by the score of 6-2, 6-1, 9-7. Maineor and Miles Young advanced to the final round by default, the team of J. L. McGriff and J. E. Watkins being unable to play due to Dr. McGriff's absence from the city. McGriff had gone to West Virginia, where he won the doubles championship of the present club. Championship won their way through the first round into the semi-finals by easily winning from Harvey and Hailey. 6-1, 6-0. Defending Champs Lose Dr. Kiliu Burke and J. B. Stumpy' Robinson, defending club champions from last summer, were beaten by Taylor and P. B. Young Jr. in the semi-finals, 5-5, 6-2. This match was the most important of darkness while the score stood 5-5. It was completed on last Friday, when Taylor and Young won the match. Immediately after this match, it was decided that the final match would be played also, since Mainor and M. Young had advanced to the final meet. The match was played in Darkness soon intervened and the match was postponed until Monday of this week. Victors Make Good Team The victors made an excellent combination for doubles play. Their playing methods were slightly different, just enough so to be bewildering to their opponents and having enough in common to constitute a winning team. Bernard Young and Lonley Taylor, on the other hand, proved to be less sure in their teamwork. Both were giving with each other the first time, as Young's regular partner, his brother Thomas, had been out of the city at the beginning of the club tournament play. Individually, both of the losers are good. Taylor uses a slice with now and then a drive, and plays a cautious game. Young, on the other hand, drives and rushes the net as a rule. Taylor the combination did not go smoothly enough in its appearance as a team to win against the fine exhibitions of the champions. Other Matches Played McGriff and Watkins were favored to reach the finals and many thought they would capture the club title. He hit Hill 6-2, 6-2, but as said was forced to default. Burke and Robinson Ward and Faulku 6-2, 8-6 in an interesting match. TED THOMPSON BEATS RHETTA MISS ORA WASHINGTON WINS LADIES SINGLES Bru C. L. MACKEY Baltimore. Md.—Youth b was served in the finals of the Monumental Tennis Club open championships, held on the courts at Drudt till park last Saturday, when young Ted Thompson, 19-year old Washington boy, and Wilforce College sophomore, defeated Dr. B. M. Rhett, veteran player, and President of the Baltimore Club in straight sets, 10-8, 6-4, 6-1. Miss Ora Washington at Philadelphia, swept all opposition before her to win the championships in the ladies' singles, by defeating Miss Junior of Philadelphia, 6-2, 6-1. Earlier in the afternoon, Thompson paired with Tally Holmes, national title holder in men's singles, and defeated Dr. Rhetta and the Rev. W. Walker in men's complete Rhetta and Walker were complete. The score was 6-0, 6-0, 6-4. Johnnie Wilkinson, of Washington and Miss Washington, won the mixed doubles title, by defeating Dr. Iretta and Miss Nellie Nicholson. Climax Thompson's brilliant victory came as a climax to one of the greatest court battles ever witnessed here. Dr. Rhetta summoned all his resourceliness and court general ship, but in the crucial points, young Thompson rose to heights, and consistently held to the attacking position at the net. Thompson is a master at the net position, and when in this position he forced Dr. Rhetta to play the game as he wanted it played. The first set was a gruelling battle of 18 games, the same continually see-saving with the Washington boy invariably with the advantage. This set took toll in strength and stamina from Dr. Rhetta, as Ted came back to win the next set— Twenty Games The third set, which required 20 games to decide, brought forth the best in both players. Dr. Rhett made several attempts to wrest the attacking position from Thompson, and some command at the net, forcing Ted to the back court, he had his opponent at a disadvantage, and usually won the point. However, Ted was not to be caught often and most times he stuck to the net. This compelled him to be almost constantly on the run from the base line to the court. Different Shots Thompson has a chop that is deadly, that is, it has a minimum rebound. Dr. Rhitta played a driving game, but his drives lacked steam to make them effective. It was almost uncanny the way Ted returned many difficult shots. The fans were very partisan, and shots that should have brought a heavy hand from the gallery, went without a sound. The only praise for the excellent shots was Dr. Rhitta, himself. Court Conditions Court conditions were ideal for the finals. The rain on Wednesday had sufficiently died to leave the courts in excellent condition and fast. Thompson gave another excellent exhibition in tennis when he captured with Tally Holmes, the national doubles champion, defeated Rhitta and Walker. Here, again, the best in the net. Rey, Walker was not at his best in this match, and failed to show much of the play that characterized his early matches. Philly Girl Miss Ora Washington, of Philadelphia, who has been called the bronze Helen Wills, did not have to extend herself to defeat Miss Junior of the same city. Miss Washington defeated Miss Junior the previous week for the singles title, in the Lawnside tournament, held in New Jersey. Miss Washington is one of the four best players not to afraid to run and the captain of a world of court. The remarkable one-sided character of the match made it hard for Miss Washington to show her true form. In spite of being out-classed, Miss Junior, at times made a valiant effort, but it was hopeless against the bronzed flash. One of the most ardent tennis fans of the country, Mrs. C. O. Scams, said to be past 60, of Chicago, as present and played in the Nielsen Nicholson. Miss Nicholson won 6-3. Mrs. Scams was umpire in the ladies' singles match. Exhibitions Another exhibition match was played between young Ed Carrollow of Baltimore, and Bert Sarfax, of Washington. These youngsters played a brand of tennis that almost equaled the finals in men's singles. Young Carroll won the set, 6-3. Dr. McCard, president of the American Tennis Association, presented cups to the winners in the several matches. Finals MIXED DOUBLES—Wilkinson and Miss Washington, defeated Rhetta and Miss Nicholson, 6-4- 6-4. MEN'S DOUBLES—Holmes and Thompson defeated, Rhetta and Wilkinson, 6-0-6, 6-0- LADIES' SINGLES—Thompson defeated Miss Junior, 6-1, 6-2. MEN'S SINGLES—Thompson defeated Rhetta, 10-8, 6-1, 11-9.

Founding the curves of Bullet Harpbell and Script Lee to all views of the lot, Oscar Charles- s and his Harrisburg cochorts added the Hilldale team a fine dressing in the Saturday afternoon fitness at the Hilldale ball yard. Count was 11 to 4. Hirschen blows for a total of thirteen bases slid off the bats in invading Law Makers, and top end of the Harrisburg stop went on a hitting spree and more. The first three of these meetings First Meetings Held in already been held. It was Philadelphia, Penn., August 8 army of run getting. The first men in the list the Steelton at up" led the onslaught with safe躲ings including a brace doubles, while Cannady and Mileston cracked out home runs. anady picked his circuit swat the final frame with the bases cured. Charleston's homer wasade Campbell in the opening vision with Dixon perched on second Aduousicous day with willow, being armed only with two times at bat, a Harrisburg leader snared and scored a quartet of. Campbell, who started the fray with the home club had fairly good against the foeman and only left the impression that the knicker of Harburgtallies would been reduced had the chunky hinder gone the entire route. Marinearine Script Lee was dropped to the breach in the fifth inning and what the hawkers did to shoots was a plenty. Dalton Cooper pitched a steady time and although he permitted even dozen hits, he managed to keep behind a lead that was never added after the fourth inning, the Harburgturler was never in anger. George Carr made a conducted tour of the baser and lugged in the final Hildahltall home run drive in the fifth inning. The game was not a league con- cept, the clubs filling in a date that was made vacant on the Hildahl schedule due to the Wilmington automatic team withdrawing from the league. # HILLDALE | | R | H | O | A | F | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Briggs, rf | 1 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | |vens, ss | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | |arr, lb | 2 | 4 | 11 | 0 | 0 | |Hockey, c | 3 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |Johnson, 3b | 0 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 0 | |Thomson, lf, cf | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |Johnson, cf | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |Washington, lf | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |Warfield, 2b | 0 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 0 | |Campbell, p | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | |Lee, p | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |Winters | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | HARRISBURG GIANTS R H O A Jenkins, If 2 3 1 2 Dixon, fr 3 4 0 0 Charleston, cf 4 2 2 0 Dixon, mas 4 2 0 0 Ylbor, lb 0 12 0 B, Johnson, c 0 0 1 1 Jackson, 2b 0 0 3 3 Blackford, 3b 0 0 3 5 Cooper, p 1 1 0 4 Hilldale .....200 010 001-4 Harrisburg .....200 110 304-11 Two-base hits—Dixon, 2; Macky, Three-base hit—Cooper.

Philadelphia, Penn., August 6 Phil Cookrell heaved a brand of ball that was extremely difficult Giantons Strothers' Harrisburg Giantons to fathom, while the Hill- dale mule maulers slugged a "Cecchie" Corbett's slants with men on the base-paths with the re- sult that the Darby Daisies challenged up another victory and sent the Law Makers trailing five full games in the wake of the league leaders, by a score of 5 to 3. Circuit smashes were a big facet in the home clubs victory, Carr and Mackey driving in the entire number of tallies with home run drives, while George Carr's big bat played havoc with Corbett's offerings, a double, triple and a home run out of four trips to the platter was Carr's bit of the afternoon pastime. In fact he personally accounted for enough runs to elimin the encounter, the first inning with Briggs and Stevens on the paths, Carr drove a home run to deep center and scored the fourth half of the game in the fifth inning, when his double was followed by Mackey's home run over the right field fence. Cockrell's "spitter" and fast ball had the enemy buffaloed and for six frames the up-Staters drew blanks: However in the seventh inning the visitors apparently found the range of Cockrell's slants and hits by Charleston and Cannady pushed over two. The third and final Harrisburg tally came over in the eighth the result of Jackson's single a clean theft of second base and Shnuckelford's single. Namon Washington and "Fats" Jenkins covered more territory in the left garden than the Reds have in Russia. In the fourth inning Washington taking the ball with his back to the stands and traveling at top speed. However Washington's feat lost quite a bit of its glamor when 'Fats' Jenkins picked Phil Cockrell's apparently successful try for a home run, offff the left field fence.

WELONAY TUNNEY WILLS GOIBY SLATTERY DEMPSEY INCUMBENT MAY CHIN HE'D LOVE TO TOUCH DEMPSEY WILLS Quality of Competition Expected To Feature Southeastern Tourney By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. With representatives from North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, West Virginia, and other states indicating their intention of being on hand when play begins Monday, the Southeastern Championship tennis tournament looms as one of the season's star events. The tournament is scheduled for four days—August 17 to 20 inclusive, at Virginia Normal Institute, Petersburg, Va. A quality of competition exceeded in few tournaments will be evident when the championship battle the championships and beautiful trophies. The titles which will be at stake are the men's singles, men's doubles, ladies, singles, mixed doubles, and junior singles. A titanic struggle is in prospect for every title, but few seem so definitely headed for a memorable contest as the men's singles event. With one annual cup, the "J. B. Darden" trophy, and two three leg cups being put in competition, the "Norfolk Journal and Guide Trophy" 'and the three leg trophy being offered by the N. C. Tennis Association, everything seems to be headed for its climax in the singles. North Carolina's stars, among who are Dr. DuBissette, L. C. Cooke, W. E. Taylor, and others, are predicted to give Virginia's leading players, including McGriff, Anderson, Taylor, Turner, Downings, and several others, a hard run for the In doubles, ladies' singles and mixed doubles the fight for supremacy will be stiff, while the junior singles title seems headed for either North Carolina or Virginia, as these two states are making the strongest bid for this title. North Carolina is banking its hopes or Frank Pena will win Virginia to hold the first Southeastern junior championship if either Bernard Young or Thomas Young of Norfolk can show a winning stride. The J. L. McGriff trophy goes to the winner of junior singles. Every preparation is being made to handle the contestants. Special entertainments, dances, and so forth will constitute the schools of the art of tennis, the schools of the art of football and meals are to be obtained at the school cafeteria reasonably. A special request has been made for all persons and clubs that have not sent in their entry to do so immediately. Entries are to be sent to Mr. W. A. Rogers, V. N. I. J, Petersburg, Va. Play will begin Monday morning, so the committee-in-charge has urged all contestants to be at the Virginia Normal Institute as early as possible Monday morning. The entry fee is $5 per player for each event entered. Dr. E. D. Downing of Ronnoke is the donor of the handsome trophy for the winner of ladies singles; trophies will also be given, as already indicated, to winners of the other events.

ANOTHER FISTIC FIASCO IN PORTSMOUTH The semi-final, if it can be called that was between—well, we will say Kid Tyclelebreeches and Rough House Willie. After a brief spell of their part in the drama, one told the other that he did not care to fight him any more. Yes, quit cold, without provocation and malice afterhought. Last but not smallest. Kid Casey and another ham from Baltimore staged the final piece of disgust. These were white boys-geruited into service in a vain effort to try to save a lost cause. These boys seemed to be in love, because they had a honest-to-goodness necking party and neither one hit the other h a r d enough to break an egg. And after all was said and done, the best part of the fight program as a whole was the advertising. It was a very good job and the printer knew his opinions.

HIALE --- Schedule Dates for Local Tournament Sept. 4,5,7 Norfolk Keeping Stride In Tennis By Holding of Second Open Tourney. With tennis rapidly gaining in popularity and importance in every section of the country, Norfolk, too, will keep stride in this branch of sport when the second annual local summer classic, the Tidewater Tennis Tournament, is held the 4, 5 and 7 of September. The play will begin at an early hour in the morning and will continue until midday, until darkness for all of play. The Tidewater Tennis Tournament is now a permanent feature of Norfolk's summer athletic season. It was held last year for the first time. The Norfolk Journal and Guide, through its sports department, suggested the holding of this open tournament to the Tidewater Tennis Club and that progressive ideas immediately accepted the idea and held under auspices of the Journal and Guide in conjunction with the Tidewater club. The tournament was held in the afternoons last year. It was decided this summer to hold the tournament three full days—Friday, Saturday and Monday, which is scheduled. It was decided because it would make possible a larger out-of-town entry, but more satisfactory generally to the contestants and public. Added features this year will be ladies' singles and mixed doubles. These events will be held if enough ladies enter to justify the playing of matches in these divisions. In the following championships of Tideon, Virginia will be at stake: Male's singles, ladies' singles, Junior's singles, junior doubles, Mixed doubles, and Junior doubles. Plans are being discussed for a girls competition. There are at least four ladies in Norfolk who can compare favorably with the majority of lady players in the country. Some of these are entered in the Southeastern tournament. All are expected to be in the Tidewater tournament. Full details will appear in next week's issue. All players in Norfolk and nearby territory are urged to prepare to enter this classic affair. Winners last summer were: J. L. McGriff, men's singles; P.

Scott Files Protest (Continued from Page One) ties," and requested that documents relating to the "facts" stated by General Bullard be filed with his publishing house. In response thereto Doctor Scott has sent to Doubleday-Page Company the following letter: Dr. Scott's Letter "My dear Mr. Page: I regret that unusual pressure of duties in connection with the University has caused this too great delay in answer to your favor of June 26, 1925 "I agree most heartily with all that you say with regard to 'freedom of expression and opinion.' General Bullard is of course entitled to his'opinions of colored soldiers and colored people generally just as you can see the colored people are entitled to their opinion of him and of his actuating motives. "I agree with you wholly in the statement, "I don't believe that we shall get on with the Negro problem if publishers make it a rule to print only favorably opinions on nNegro activities." Truth can be promoted and progress advanced only as the result of conflicting ideas and opinions. "I must take it for granted, however, that a great publishing house of the reputation and dignity of Doubleday-Page Company woul d wish to be very careful before lending the influence of their imprint to opinion or propaganda calculated to damage any element of the population in the eye of their fellowmen. Most especially would such caution be expected when the opinion in question runs against the universally accented belief. General Bullard's Onslaught Stands Alone "General Bullard's onslaught on the patriotism and courage of Negro soldiers stands by itself against the opinion of every person of eminence and authority whose contact and experience qualify him to speak upon this question. Of the innumerable comments which General Bullard's diatribe has evoked not a single instance from a responsible source which sustains his position has fallen under my eye. Secretary Baker's Review "Secretary Baker's review of General Bullard's so-called facts is set forth in very great detail in the War Department. I set forth in my letter criticising General Bullard's strictures what the New York Tribune refers to 'as the evidential refutation of General Bullard's charges,' and General Ballou, in the New York Tribune of Sunday, June 28, a four column review which has no doubt come to your desk, answered in detail the General's criticisms and contradicts in detail his so-called facts. "You will no doubt recall that sometime ago the MacMillian Company published a book on the Negro Question dealing wholly in unsupoted derogatory opinion and reflection of the author. This book, though at first widely proclaimed, provoked such widespread protest and condemnation that its circulation was curtailed and its publication terminated. The Negro race as well as its numerous white friends regarded it as monstrously unfair that a great publishing house should allow itself to become the vehicle of such slander. "More recently the Dearborn Isdependent published a series of articles on the International Jew, which aroused theire of that race throughout the world. All right-minded Americans concede the justice of their complaint. Colored People Jealous of Their Good Name "Weak and defenseless peoples are always dependent upon the repute and esteem in which they are held by their more fortunate fellowmen, therefore they must most zealously guard their reputation and good name.

A striking pronouncement from high sources, however inaccurate or unsupported such pronouncement may be, unless challenged instantly will be accepted by the public which is already none too friendly, and I am sure your lamented father would have quickly sensed and recognized this principle. "I have much doubt whether the Doubleday-Page Company would be willing to publish unsupported opinion from high sources whatsoever which reflected upon the character and integrity of the South, or of the Catholic Church, or of the Irish race. All of these are better able to defend themselves than the defenseless Negro. "My only contention is that the Negro is entitled to the same consideration at the hands of high-minded publishing houses that would be accorded to any other element of our population." Other Letters Filed In addition to the above letter there has also been filed with the Doubleday-Page firm letters from the Secretary of the Committee on Public Information; an article by Former Governor Malcolm R. Patterson, and interviews with officials of one kind and another who commanded Negro troops during the World War, and last and not least, Secretary Baker's official statement issued November 8th, 1919, in which he said, after reviewing the same so-called "facts" related by General Bullard: "I authorized the publication of this statement in order that justice may be done to the officers, white and colored, and to the men of this regiment, and in the hope that the recital of the facts may make prejudice and distorted discussions impossible in the future."

SCHENCK Director Of Public Welfare Refers To Able Doctors, Nurses And Business Men. In delivering the welcome address on behalf of the city to the delegates and visitors of the A. M. E. Zion Connection) Council Wednesday night, Dr. P. S. Schenck Director of Public Welfare, declared that the progress of the Negro race in the past 15 to 20 years has, indeed, been marvelous. On this he congratulated the race and stated that he sincerely felt a just pride in the colored people's achievement because he was born and reared among them and had spent a life-time of 60 years among them. "Your race has invaded every avenue of intellectual life," Dr. Schenck declared. "You have well-qualified lawyers," he continued, "sincere and able physicians, many of whom in this city I have implicit confidence in as to ability and fitness. They measure up to the doctors of any race. You have worthy business men and merchants and are in keen competition with others and holding your own. That is marvelous considering the handicaps which have confronted you."

Improvement Over 1910 ‘These figures are an improve. ment over 1910, for there were more Race people in Virginia in 1910 who ranged from 5 to 20— 206,104 in all, But only 44.3 per ‘cent. went to school, There were ‘more males and more females, Out ‘of 128,022 males only 422 per cent, went to school and out. of 132,082 females, aly 40 per cent. attended school, ‘Phere is a special significanee in the school attendance statistics of Virginia, They show that a con- dition exists that must be eradi- jeated, namely, that the greatest number of Colored Virginians drop out of school after the eighth ‘grade, In all cases where there is ‘a high per cent. of attendance it is in the grammar school age limit —7 to.18 years. ‘The ages from 1 up to and around 20, the usual high school and early college age, show a small per cent. of atten- dance, ranging as low as 29 per cent, among Negroes. é Illiteracy Among Negroes ‘The rural sections of Virginia las in education, if the per cent. of illiteracy is any reliable criterion. Doubtless, for the lack of proper facilities, ‘the necessary encourage- ment, and proper Jaws this condi- tion exists, The total of all races—10 years or over—who are illiterate is 195, 159 out of 1,748,868. This is an 11.2 per cent. rate of illiteracy for ‘Virginia as a whole. The total number of Negroes in ‘the same age limit is 520,657. 23. per cent. of this number ave illiter- ite, The highest illiteracy in the entire State is among Negroes 21 and over. 30 per cont, 52,765 out of 176,036, are illiterate, The highest urban illiteracy jis 212 of the urban population 21 and over. In the rural section al- 50 the highest rate of illiteracy is in the 21 and over class—34.1 per cent of 220,661 being illiterate. The lowest rate of illiteracy is among the urban population from 10 to-15 yeurs old. Only 3.3 per cent. of this group are illiterate, und there are 20,750, Illiteracy Among Whites ‘The greatest illiteracy, on_ the other hand, in the white race is just 9.2 of 552,970 persons over 2L or slightly over fifty thousand in the rural districts. It ix a patent fuel, however, that better provisions are made to edu: cate the whites, accounting for the lower rate uf illiteracy. Cause for Optimism There is cause for optimism though, for in 1910 there were few: er, Negroes in Virginia, but. there was a ighér rate of illiteracy. In fact, in every age-group from the cntite State to groups according to sige in the urban and rural sections ‘the rate of illiteracy is lower, a drop of 9 per cent. in the illiteracy rate ig noted in one group—that of females, 21 and over, fer the en- tire State, In one class of the whites, how- ever, there is a higher rate of il Hiteruey now than in 1910, ‘This higher rate is among the whites for the entire State, 10 to 15 years, which has increased from 0.7 per cent. to 6.5 per cent.

By WILLEY A, JOHNSON, JR. Photor through courtesy of Avery H Williams, Engraver ‘There are few people who know what a delicate process has to he gone through to get the pictures and cartoons they see in the pa- pers, Most people have seen them year in and year out and some have not stopped to guess how it is done, while others have won- dered, asked and tried to find out. One lady asked if the cartoonist has to draw a cartoon on each one of the papers—ow! what a job that would be. This is only one of the many questions that are asked in connection with this pic- ture business. Tn order to give the reading public information on how the little trick is done, the writer interviewed a local engrav- er, who gave the complete story on the whole works. ‘After it has been explained, it will be found to be very simple. All_ progressive newspapers have Sta photographers, whose duty it is to sveure suilable news pietures. They ave equipped with a high powered cumera with very fast lenses which enxble them to wet most any kind of action photos, This is the main. source from which the papers. get their’ pies tures, Some photos are sent in by individuals, ut most times at the request of the pupers wanting the picture. The payers have what is called news picture serviee— that is, the paper isya member of aayndicate in the bisiness of sup- plying papers with pictures of hap- penings all over the world, Gelling the picture is the first thing necessary. The next step is to send the picture to the en- graver, An enjvaver is the per Son whe ix employed to make the picture ready for appearing in Lhe paper, ‘The photo is sent to the engraving department (all papers dou not have their own engraving Gepartinents) and. the engraver places it upon a specially designed ¢amera, Another picture is made from the original, ‘The photo- raphe in the engraving business has to make 2 negative from the picture the same us the — photo- 'grapher in the studio has to make fu negative of the person before the picture can be made. Negative Making |The first step in negative mak- ling is this: an ordinary piece of ‘glass that has heen washed very clean is: evated with «solution af the white of an ege ahd water. After this has dried, the glass is Feoated again, Uh is time with fa solution of colodiom, which, is [composed of several chemicals, am- ‘monian, iodide, ammonian cloride, as compared to 30,949 Colored farmers who ie owners, The number of white farmers has in- creased over three thousand. since 1910, while the number of colored farmers hus decreased nearly 1,- 500. That is, the white farmers have ineveased 3.9 per cent. and the Negro farmers decreased by 4 per cent. Various types of tenant farmers, including share tenants, croppers, share cash tenants, cash tenants, standing renters, and unspecified tenants, are as follows: white, 31, 105, which is a 6.8 per cent. de- crease since 1910. Colored, 16, 640—a 5.9 inerease since 1910. More Negroes and fewer whites are becoming tenant farmers. Value of Farms in Va. ‘The Negroes of Virginia possess ATI86 farms with a total acreage of 2,263,419 acres, of which 1,104, 461 “acres are improved, the whole of which is valued at $10,991,911.

It is this chemical acting upon the colodiom whieh makes it sensitive to light. Great care has to be taken in. removing these plates from the silver bath, Should there he any white light visible, it would act upon plate ‘and cwuse it to become fogged. After the plate is remaved from the silver bath, it is placed in a holder and put on the camera ready for exposure. Great care has to be taken here also, as all pictures are not alike. If the photograph is to be en- Targed, of course, the exposure has to be longer and if the photograph is to he reduced, naturally the ex- posure would he shorter. All pic- tures have to he made to conform to the colunins of the newspaper. A newspaper column is a fraction ever two inches in width, there- fore, ifm picture is to be made for a single column the reproduction is larger or smalier than the ori. inal, which ever the case may be. About the Little Dots Hf you will note closely you will see that the pictures whieh appear in the papers are comprised ol many small dots. Lf you dv not believe this, lake any picture ap- ponring in this paper and try bo count al the small dots you see. TT you are suecessfal you will be awarded a membership card to the paulded ell. Every pieture that is. made. to xo into the papers is photographed through what is termed a screen— therefore the little dots—which is a highly polished piece of glass that is Tree from seratches, © The ylass is ruled with « diamond that makes possible the pictures for the papers, After the negative has had the proper amount of exposure, it is then taken from the camera snd carried into x dark room where it is developed the same as any other negative. In the dark room it is carried through several dif- ferent chemicals, some of which are deadly poison, mainly eyanide potassium, © This ‘solution is used on the plate immediately after it hus been developed. It dissolves the portions of the silver on the plate that has not been alfected by the light. during the exposure. ‘This eyanide is not solely used in the engraving: business, it is also used as a quick death for ele- phants that we may be able to ob- tain their tusks for various pieces of beautiful ivory. Just a mere handful of this "poisonous fluid would kill nearly everybody in Norfolk. After the negative has received the proper treatment, in the dark room, it is dried and first coated with a solution of rubber cement, then a solution of alcohol, —no not graip—ether and gun cotton, the thvee making what i called’ stripping colodiom. . After this has dried, the negative is squared up and cut to the desired size. It is then placed into a tray containing ascetic acid and water where it remains for x while. When taken out of this, it is rinsed under water and is ready for. transferring. This is_neces- sary as pictures are photographed backwards ‘and it is up to the en- graver to see that each picture corresponds with the original. The film is transferred from one piece of glass to another. Th e film is very thin and the engraver has to be very careful in order not to spoil it. ‘The piece of glass that the film is transferred to is 14x17 inches and contains just about enough of this film, about the size of the little finger, when ‘rolled up—the film of course, not your little finger. After the film has been dried down on the large piece of glass it is placed over a stove that is used hy engravers and dried thoroughly, ‘The next. step is the printing of the picture from the negative on metal. This is very simple, but requires much pa- tience. ‘The metal, which is zine, is highly polished to remove all ‘dirt and grease. This metal is ‘then coated with a solution which Fis sensitive to light. After this solution has been applied, the met a is placed in a large’ printing ‘frame face down on top of the ‘negative. The frame is locked and placed before the printing lamp. }Xo doubt most of you know that black: photographs white and white ‘black, Where there is white show- ing on the metal the light will pass ‘through and harden the printing solution, The light does not af- ‘feet the parts that are black. The ‘exposure is very short during the printing.

Well, how is that little trick down? That is what I would like to know, To this query the engraver replied, “There're tricks in all trades an" ‘at's 'at.” | Some times big fires occur at night and the staff photographer has to be aroused from his slum- ber and rushed to the scene. Pic- tures at night are taken by, what is called the flash-light exposure. A combustible powder is used in the process. It is placed in a tray for that purpose after the camera has been timed and focused on the object. A match is applied to the powder, a sudden explosion, a glar- ing light, and the trick is done, the picture is rushed to the engray- er andthe cut is made in a very short. time, (Continued on Page Nine) * - \ aX hoe at mS PA Wey 9 Bar Sp me a eRe pat cee mMuRe Uy: f BOS cos CO a Vee OS / * VN Ga Be aN f FA 5 ee IO eae OE ; Wy SO 5 oS RA WH) if ee ae a ee NF Wi Open, ERE Sneak Si oS v { eS # 7 Z Daw = x Q eel yy 4 \j | eee Le Lo le |S ee) ge (8 ee ‘Trad Friends qe matter what some folks say to the contrary, there certainly is a lot of sentiment in business, Friend. ship, for instance, makes more satisfactory sales than’ j all the cleverness and argument in the world, ¢ You like to trade at a certain store—not because its counters are arranged in'a scientific way, but because & the folks who serve you are always friendly, and helpfull. j Be Just thet very thing—FRIENDLY SERVICE—is the m ae power that draws people together into commiunities like this, where everybody can enjoy the many benefits i of neighborly) cooperation. ses = a ai ’ And FRIENDLY SERVICE is the sentimental reason’ why you find it very much to your advantege'to trade with our advertisers—to buy where you'feel: at home, ° where Jour friends will see that you'are well satisfied.. ee 3 - Read the Ads in this Paper and save yourself money by trading at:home*° Sad ea ae Geert ee ake SCHOOL BUILDING EPS PAE AEA TIGER TRA Hampton, Va., August 12,—Thrv well-organized " summer schools colleges and county training schools the number “of” colored teachers is being rapidly inereased, necording to B.

Up to six on seven years ago there was the gen: eral fecling that a State was do. ing pretty well, if it provided cle- mentary education for colored chil dren. % years ago, there were 11 colored high schools in the South. ern States—now there are over 300. ‘Texas has 234 colored high sciools. There is not nearly 2 large-enough supply of trained men and women for the Negrd high schools.” Last Spring,’Mr. Caldwell made a tour of inspection of the work which is being done for Negroes on the collegiate level. He found that a great deal of good work was being done in many parts of the country, North as well as South, West’ as well as East. Mr. Caldwell paid warm tribu- ute to the fine work whieh is be- ing done by 327 Jeanes teachers, who are rather uniformly distrib: uted throughout the South. Vir- ginia has 57; North Carolina, 41; South Carolina, 34; Louisiana and Alabama, 29 each; Georgia, 24; and. Tennessee, 23. The Jeane: teachers carry sound ideas of edu: cation to the people and help tc raise, by slow, steady stages, the levels of community life and_ te bring about better “understanding and co-operation between the rac es. ““Teacbers who attend summer school should have the opportuni. ty” said Mr. Caldwell, “of being furnished with such lessons as will be guides to them in their fu- ture work and of hearing lessons taught by teachers with the easy voice of conversation.” | Haitian Minister | Visits Hampton ae Hampton, Va.—Hon, Hanibal Price of Washington, D.

As a result, Superintendent R._C. Staley of the Dead Letter Office, is literally swamped with letters from other folks in all parts of the country asking for a slice of the dead letter money, “if it is not all gone.” While the letters from women predominate, there are enough signed by men to disprove any sug- gestion that the fair sex are more gullible than the sterner. A fourteen-year-old girl at Mun- cie, Indiana, claiming to be a mem- ber of a large family with a wid- owed mother and little means of Support, says that “most any por- tion would be gratefully appre- ciated and put to good use in the way of education.” A man at Bordentown, N. J. “would like a share” in the thous- ands of dollars found in dead let- ters. He wants only to “square his debts” which he confides are not much.” A woman in Kokomo, Indiana, does not want a gift, but would like to borrow five thousand dollars so FIRE INSURANCE E,W CHCACD DISBANIS There will he no great Negro Fire insyrance company in Chica- go if the’ Lincala"Fire Insurance Company, ‘which gave promise of filling that role, is to he it, The Lincoln board of directors has de- cided to disband and return to stockholders money paid’in ,accord- ing to announcement coming out of the Windy City this week. ‘The Lincoln Fire Insuranee Com- pany was said to be one of the most pretentious business undertakings in the city.

Mississippi aided and abetted by Federal authority, has essayed to teach another prosperous Negro his place. This time it is Robert D. Durr, former editor of "The Bystander," Des Moines, Iowa; founder and editor of the "Southern Register," Jackson, Miss, and the "Negro Capital," also president of the Commercial Service Company and the Cotton Blossom Beauty College, former school teacher and secretary of the Des Moines, Iowa, Negro Business League. He is held in the county jail on a charge of using the United States Mail to defraud. His wife is also in jail jointly charged with the same offense. Was Prosperous Durr was an agent for a wholesale grocery firm selling direct to consumers. Beginning about February first, he placed advertisements in newspapers in Mississippi, quoting some - of the special prices on staple articles. The replies from the advertising did not come up to Durr's expectation. So he held the orders, feeling sure they would soon reach such proportions as would take care of a car load shipment, thereby defeating any further loss thru heavy freight rates on small orders. He held a few orders that came in until about the last of March and turned them over to the sales manager of one of the firms he was working on. The Durr's office to investigate. Durr wasn't in at the time, but his wife was. The inspector grabbed her, telling her to come along and wait at the post-office and as soon as her husband came up they would let her go. The inspector then went and got a search warrant and riffed Durr's desk and office. While doing this he was reported to have said he had enough "to break Durr's darn neck". When Durr heard this he know that they were at his place waiting for him, but did not know what were their; he had talk of suing and shooting him about his newspaper, he could talk on his face while they were talking in such a way. He knew no government official had any right to talk about breaking necks, but he knew regardless of what the government would or would not do, when white men in Mississippi talk that way, they have often done such. Moh and lynch stains are too numerous in Mississippi for any man to face. Do you have any knowledge of their office and talk about neck breaking. So, Durr did not go up for six weeks. During that time he tried to locate the supposed sales manager and get the people's money back, but that man could not be located, so Durr returned and gave up to the United States Marshall and Post Office Inspector. He was remitted to jail where his wife will have been over four months and he three months when they get a trial in September. He in jail in Mississippi was insulted as he is hell. Insults upon top of insults are heaped upon them. Mrs. Durr is in a delicate condition. Respect is one thing she does not get. They complain about having to sleep on dirty bed clothes, stay in the same cage with insane people men with various diseases, and for all sorts of crimes. White federal prisoners in this jail are housed separately from others. They get two meals a day. It is rough and unbalanced. Think of Mrs. Durin in a delicate condition eating regular convict victuals daily for four months. OXFORD Oxford, N.

Collier Harrison, of Indianapolis, a Civil War veteran, unlike must ante-bellum characters, possessed business foresight and sagacity, which permitted in a neat little sum of money becoming the legue of his daughters, instead of being kept by some "friendly white folks." In 1904, Harrison, being a United State pensioner, 'made the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, of Indianapolis, guardian for his children, Mamie and Lizzie Harrison. In 1917, thirteen years later, Harrison and guardian of death heirs and the mother of girls went to Greenville, N. C., and there married Joseph Harris. Mamie, the younger daughter went with her mother to North Carolina and the elder daughter, Lizzie, married and went to Indiana. It developed after a long search that she had married Potter, in Philadelphia. Mamie Harrison married Ernest Cooney, co-founder of Cooney, 1920. During all this time she died of their father, the Trust Company was conducting a nationwide search for some member of the Harrison family. Recently it located the daughters after discovering that they were again living in Indianapolis. On deposit with the Trust Company the money left them by their father had to $11,000.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE The attention of the Carnegie Hero fund commission has been called to the act of Edward and Langston Mitchell, brothers, of Pittsburgh, who on Tuesday of last week lost their lives in a futile effort to save the life of a white man who didn't want to live. The Langston brothers were drowned when they plunged into the waters of the Monongahela river in an attempt to pull out Joseph Waters, who committed suicide. The heroism of the two brothers, witnessed by hundreds of spectators who lined the Smithfield street of the river has been brought to the commission's attention.

Bellefonte, Pa.—Piching up hundreds of dollars is not an everyday occurrence, but that is what the heirs of the late Mrs.Catherine Schroyer of Milesburg did last week. And they are indebted to the honesty of James Schultz, of Curtin, for the pick-up. Mrs. Schroyer died in the Centre Co. Hospital on July 12. Prior to her illness she made her home with her son, Adam, at Milesburg. She had four children and none of them supposed she had left any appreciable estate. This week, Adam Schroyer began cleaning out various old household articles that belonged to his mother. He did not want the stove so he offered it to James Schultz if he would carry it away. Schultz agreed, loaded the stove on a truck and hauled it to his home at Curtin, a few miles away. The oven of the stove was filled with old pots and pans and a lot of other articles and Schultz decided to clean it out. One of the first things he found was an old pocket-book that was much the worse for handling. Out of curiosity he opened it, and his eyes revealed another pocketbook, also well filled with bills and change in considerable quantities. A count showed a total of $1390. Mrs. Schroyer evidently did not believe in banks and used the old stove as her depository. Schultz returned the money to Ada a m Schroyer and it will comprise the bulk of his mother's estate, which the four children will share. NEW HAVEN New Haven, Conn.—Rev. Jno. B.

WELFARE LEAGUE IS DETERMINED TO OUST DURKEE Gives Out Press Statement Substantiating Assertions and Charges Made By Orlando C. Thornton. The Howard Welfare League, of Washington, the organization of Howard University graduates which is forcing the fight on President J. Stanley Durke, with the avowed purpose of forcing his resignation from the university, has given out a news release which substantiates the charges made and the statements set forth by Orlando C. Thornton, a dismissed instructor, in a release Mr. Thornton gave out a couple of months ago. Mr. Thornton characterized the Howard Trustee Board's action in dismissing five able professors as dietitian and charged that other than their own economy as the board asserted was the case. The Howard Welfare League statement conforms to Mr. Thornton's assertions. It says. President Durke tried to coerce heads of departments and deans into recommending the dismissal of certain men. we are reliably informed, and failing in this, he presented to the committees the recommendation himself. In reply to their inquiries he informed them, it is alleged, that the immediate superiors of these men recommended that they be dropped, and that these men should be investigated. In compliance of their unsatisfactory work, these men had never received such complaints; and, that on the contrary, some of them have been recently complimented on the efficiency of their work. This summary dismissal has done irreparable damage to all these men; for, under these circumstances, other institutions are refusing to employ them. The public merely take the impression received and charges the guilt to these innocent. This disastrous action becomes more apparent when one considers the type of man dismissed. They are all educated. Being graduates of accredited universities like Chicago, Pittsburgh, Harvard, Oxford and Paris, One is a Rhodes Scholar, the only Negro who has ever attained such an honor; and he is a Doctor of Philosophy of Harvard University. They have taught at Harvard University five, seven thirtieth and sixteen years, respectively. In a well regulated institution of learning no administration would think of summarily dismissing a full professor unless on specified charges sustained by his accusers. This action to the contrary at the university would mean what an undesirable state of affairs exists at that institution. Under such circumstances Howard can never have the university spirit; because the administration is resorting to fear as the motive by which it hopes to force these men to support its uneducational advanced thought men must be free to express themselves. These men who were dismisses were told that a program of economy necessitated their elimination. This, however, is a mere subterfuge, downright camouflage, for the university to use the same day of their dismissal to use the salaries of these men to increase those of others and to finance a publicity campaign to offend the storm now sweeping against the administration because of its inefficient practices. This campaign receive the public will cost the University $15,000 or $20,000 a year. The older men of Howard, like Miller and Cook, who have not thought well of the Durkee regime but have tried to make the most superimposed evil, have been actually eliminated from the educational machinery of the University. Dean Cook will retire at the end of twelve months after having wished many an effort on the birth of his son, Dean Miller, rid of him. Dean Miller is retained on a year's probation during which he is to travel and advertise Howard University. The inspiration and enthusiasm of his brilliant leadership have been diversified from the student life of the University forever. ROPER Roper, N.

A cartoon is what is called a line cut, that is, they are drawn with pen and ink on white drawing paper and they usually appear with a white background. This is because of the white paper. The drawing is first photographed on a plate the same as the pictures are photographed. They are then placed in the printing frame and transferred to sensitized zinc. The dragon's blood is powdered on the plate which adheres to the lines only. The back of the plate is painted with asphaltum. After this is done, the plate is then placed in its hath of diluted nitrate acid, which cuts the zinc, except where the dragon's blood adheres to the lines. deep enough the high lights are routed with a routing machine away all of the plate that does not contain a line essential to the drawing. The plate is then cut and placed on a block, type-high and it is then ready to be published in the papers. In cases where a newspaper has a rotary press, the cartoons or pictures on wooden blocks cannot be used. Here a matrix is made of the cut, together with the type that goes on the same page with the picture or cartoon. A matrix is two sheets of special paper for that purpose with a chalk composition between them. This is hammered in to the cut leaving the impression in the paper white. The paper is called a mat, is placed into a stereotyping mold and molten lead is poured in making what is called a stereotype and then it is ready for the press. The same process is gone thru to supply more than one paper with the same cartoon in the same day or week. The cartoons are handled through a syndicate that employs the cartoonist. He draws only one picture. Then a cut is made in order to get a matrix. A number of mats are made, and these are sent to the various papers who do their own casting or stereotyping. A cartoonist could be in Egypt and draw cartoons for scores of paper in the U n i t e d States. The various decorations that are seen in the pictures are done some times by the engraver, the most times by an artist who is on the staff of the paper. Some times the designing is done on the picture before it is photographed and some times it is made on a separate sheet of paper which has to be photographed same as the pictures and after both are printed, the picture is mounted in the design, and here we get the decorated pictures.

SUFFOLK AFTER A COLORED HOSPITAL The public-spirited citizens of this town who enjoy the confidence and following of all the worthwhile people here, have inaugurated a movement looking toward the establishing of a Colored Hospital in this city. During the annual session of the Midwives Union of Nansenmond County and Suffolk county, held at Pine Street Baptist Church, Sunday, W. W. H. Crocker, a prominent citizen and realtor of this city, advanced the idea that such an institution be established here. The idea was enthusiastically received by the audience and within a few minutes after the suggestion was made $235 had been submitted as a unit of a fund to be raised for the cause. The $235 was subscribed by thirteen interested citizens. Suffolk, like most southern cities, is without premier hospitalization facilities for colored people. This fact has long been realized by the progressive people here, and the meeting of the midwives, women who encounter the problems of maternity among colored women so frequently in the conduct of their profession, was so seldom upon as an opportunity to start a more correcting the situation. It is believed that once the campaign to raise the necessary funds gets underway, small difficulty will be met in making the campaign a success.

This is the large number of young people who attended. A dainty repast was served by the hostess. Notice!

The local demand for copies of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE is such as to give the publishers the greatest cause for gratification, as it shows in a tangible way that our efforts to give the news and opinion the people want are successful. The legislature of Georgia is striving to redeem itself and the people its members represent. It has refused to join Tennessee in proscribing the teaching of evolution in the public schools and a drastic lynching act has been introduced the adoption of which would go far in helping to curb lynch lay in the State. When churches are divided and can't be brought into union because of the color bar there must be something wrong with the principles governing those concerned—the principles of brotherhood and communion which separate the saints from the taints of the Lord. Both are Cannanites in the last analysis and can't redeem themselves except by their works within the law of the spirit The helpful interest and instruction which our young people on Southern farms are receiving just now ought not only to be useful but assist in keeping many of them on the farms, from which the white young people are said to be going away to the cities. The small farmer who knows his business is one of the most independent persons in American life. It is a National calamity that the Big Farmer is driving out the Little Farmer. They say that is being done. Let us hope that Captain Martin E. French, the new Governor of the Virgin Islands, a majority of whose citizens are Afraid, will be a racial improvement upon Governor Philip Williams, whom he succeeded, and who has had a stormy administration for three years. If Judge Washington Williams should be recalled it would be a great help to Governor French in establishing a new and better condition of administration in the Islands.

Praverful Juries Friday night in Corporation Court after a jury had deliberated more than an hour and a half over the fate of a colored man or trial for his life on a charge of having murdered a young white man in an attempted robbery, the twelve men ceased their deliberations, reverently bowed their heads, while one of their number invoked divine guidance that they might reach a just verdict. An hour later they returned to the courtroom with a verdict carrying a penalty of life imprisonment. Undoubtedly, according to the Friday night in Corporation Court after a jury had deliberated more than an hour and a half over the fate of a colored man on trial for his life on a charge of having murdered a young white man in an attempted robbery, the twelve men ceased their deliberations, severently bowed their heads, while one of their number invoked divine guidance that they might reach a just verdict. An hour later they returned to the courtroom with a verdict carrying a penalty of life imprisonment. Undoubtedly, according to the law and the evidence and the dictates of their own consciences they had sacredly discharged their duties. In late years, the jury system has often been the subject of attack. There is apparently nothing the matter with the system itself. An able and unbiased jurist and high-minded jurors make a wholesome combination which elevates in esteem and respect our whole system of jurisprudence. Prayerful juries, are not unheard of, but it is not remembered when in a Southern community it has taken a jury two hours and forty-five minutes, a brief part of which was spent invoking divine guidance, to decide the fate of a colored man charged with the murder of a white man. Norfolk courts, being comprised of human beings, may sometimes err, but they have earned the respect of the lowliest citizen by their disposition toward absolute justice. Editorial Page of Garvey's New Friends The Richmond Times-Dispatch wants the deportation of Marcus Garvey prevented because Garyey is in favor of the deportation of American Negroes to Africa. Mr. Garvey himself is not an American Negro. He is a British subject who has spent a number of years in America spreading wild-eyed propaganda of one sort or another, the most recent phase of which is designed to get his hide out of the Atlanta Federal penitentiary, where he is serving a five-year sentence for using the United States mails to defraud. Garvey spent the first few years of his sojourn in America in inciting illiterate Negroes against the whites. He gained his popularity and got his following making harangues against the whites in America and everywhere. This diversion became very unpopular and unsafe for Mr. Garvey, so he switched off onto the African colonization scheme, naming himself "Provisional President of Africa." In furtherance of this scheme he undertook to form an alliance with the Ku Klux Klan, going to Atlanta and holding an interview with the Imperial Wizard at the Klan Palace. The Klan was sympathetic, but suspicious of Garvey, so the alliance was very apathetic. It did not avail him much. But of late he has formed the acquaintance of an organization which has its headquarters in Richmond, and which desires very much to "remove the Negroes to Africa," and in this organization Mr. Garvey has found a true friend and loyal ally. The Richmond group swallowed Garvey, "hook, line and sinker," and is working heroically to get their ideal Negro out of the penitentiary and prevent his deportation to his own native Jamaica. There are many illiterate Negroes in America, running into the thousands, perhaps, who have been excited by Garvey's talk of a Government all their own in Africa or somewhere, over which their hero would preside, but the actual business of going to Africa themselves has not yet been put up to these misguided Negroes, and neither Garvey nor any intelligent American Negro has ever thought of going to Africa for purposes of colonization. The slogan "Back to Africa" is a misnomer to American Negroes. There is no more reason why the descendants of the first Africans who settled at Jamestown should go away from America than there is that the descendants of the first English colony that settled there should return to England. Or that all the Irishmen, Germans, Italians Greeks, Spaniards, Mexicans, Russians and all other nationalities that go to make up this America should pull up and return to the land of their forefathers.

If Mr. Garvey's Richmond friends could by any stretch of the imagination succeed in removing the 12,000,000 American Negroes to Africa they would be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, because with the exception of little Liberia, there is not a foot of land in Africa that is not under the control of and inhabited by the European white man. And all of them have served official notice upon Mr. Garvey to keep out. So has little Liberia, which has had notice served upon her by the bullish British and French that if she admits Garvey or any of his fool propaganda there will be immediate trouble for Liberia and plenty of it. Now then, if Mr. Garvey's Richmond friends, including the Times-Dispatch, will join in a sincere and practical movement to assist their idol in chasing out of Africa all of the European overlords, commandeering the United States army and navy in the process, the thoughtful Negroes in this country will consider a colonization movement. Then without a doubt, if the plan succeeds, the professional propagandist, Mr. Garvey, will proceed to line up the 170,000,000 native Africans with the billion or more native sons of India, China and Japan in the impending movement to run the Europeans out of Europe and the white Americans out of America, which will be a fate they will justly deserve for setting up Garvey and his propaganda machine in Africa.

Negro Farmers In Virginia The decline in farmers and farm owners among Negroes in Virginia for the decade 1910-1920 as pointed out in an article elsewhere in this paper based on United States census reports for that period is a matter that should be of serious concern to the race. When it is recalled that migration of colored people from the South to the North and West was at its height during 1922-23, it is easy to reason that if a farm census of the State were taken now it would disclose a more precipitate drop in Negro farmers than did the last government survey. Obviously, if our national economic status is to be assured by our producing as well The decline in farmers and farm owners among Negroes in Virginia for the decade 1910-1920 as pointed out in an article elsewhere in this paper based on United States census reports for that period is a matter that should be of serious concern to the race. When it is recalled that migration of colored people from the South to the North and West was at its height during 1922-23, it is easy to reason that if a farm census of the State were taken now it would disclose a more precipitate drop in Negro farmers than did the last government survey. Obviously, if our national economic status is to be assured by our producing as well as conserving the sustenance of life, our public-spirited citizens and welfare groups Norfolk Journal and Guide must sell the "stay on the farm idea" to the rural population. Secretary of Agriculture Jardine recently said: "The farm is a business, but it is more it is a home. We want men and women to stay on the farm, not merely because they have been able to make a living there but because they have been profoundly satisfied with farm life. We must have good schools, good rural churches, good roads, wholesome recreation and pleasures if farm life is to prove attractive in the highest degree. * * A firmly established, enlightened and prosperous land-owning population is not only a great national asset, but is the safest balance wheel in our civilization." Secretary of Agriculture Jardine recently said: "The farm is a business, but it is more—it is a home. We want men and women to stay on the farm, not merely because they have been able to make a living there but because they have been profoundly satisfied with farm life. We must have good schools, good rural churches, good roads, wholesome recreation and pleasures if farm life is to prove attractive in the highest degree. * A firmly established, enlightened and prosperous land-owning population is not only a great national asset, but is the safest balance wheel in our civilization." That is well put. The problem of meeting the standards which Secretary Jardine states are necessary to make farm life attractive belongs largely to county supervisors, State officials, intelligent and rural-minded preachers and teachers and home and farm agents. While this group is aiming to make farm life attractive, the press, pulpit and welfare leagues of the cities should conduct a campaign of education which will touch the rural people and acquaint them of urban problems which include unemployment, housing difficulties and the exacting strife for a livelihood that surrounds the moneyless city dweller. "Cast down your buckets where you are," should be the slogan carried to the rural folks. Every young man who is encouraged to stay on the farm, should however, have the added encouragement to become a farm owner. There is no doubt that the almost universally unsatisfactory share-cropping system has been a factor in the depletion of farm labor and population. Ownership will stimulate agriculture by giving the farmer an air of confident independence and instilling in him the pride of personal achievement. Young men of the rural communities, "cast down your buckets where you are." Acquire a small piece of ground, till the soil with your own labor and learn the most improved methods of coaxing from Mother Earth a more abundant yield crops. This do well and you will not only become independent, healthy and contented, but the object of envy of the city plodder. Another Coal Strike Calamity. Another Coal Strike Calamity. There will be general regret that the coal operators and miners failed to reach an understanding at their recent Atlantic City meeting and that another coal strike calamity may be forced upon the country in September. There will also be general regret that there does not appear to be anywhere within the jurisdiction of the National Government power to deal with such calamities, from which the general public must be the principal sufferers. When capital and labor fail to agree as to the loot they shall get out of the general public, from which they derive their franchises and must get the purchase price of their production, power should be lodged somewhere in the National Government to compel them to agree. The miners demand an increase of wages and "the check off" and the operators flatly refuse both demands. It is not the disposition of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE to take sides against organized labor in its efforts to get better wage and working conditions, but when these are demanded unjustly and at the sacrifice of the public needs and convenience, it becomes a duty to take sides against the offenders. As a matter of fact the price of coal is as high as the ability of the consumers to pay will admit of. With the corresponding high prices of all the necessary things of life, $15 a ton for anthracite coal approaches the point of robbery. If the operators and the transportation agencies are receiving more than their share of the loot at the expense of the miners, power to equalize their relative shares should lodge somewhere in the National Government. The "check off" means that the operators shall deduct from the earnings of the miners their weekly dues to the Miners' Union. On the face of it that is none of the business of the Operators, and they should not be burdened with the trouble and expense of it. The Miners' Unions should collect their membership dues themselves, or deputize some one of their members, with the consent of the Operators, to do it for them, and pay for the time and service.

The Miners' Unions should collect their membership dues themselves, or deputize some one of their members, with the consent of the Operators, to do it for them, and pay for the time and service. The earnings of organized capital and organized labor have reached the pinnacle. The consumers of the country cannot well be bled any more than they are. The building trades and transportation and production utilities are all weighted down with abnormal earnings of invested capital and labor, and they still yell for more profits. What is needed is that the earnings of the two should be equalized in such a way as to protect the purchasing and consuming public from criminal exploitation. The National Government should have that power. The public should be protected from another coal strike calamity. --- Toward Inter-racial Understanding Mr. Alexander says: Mr. Alexander says: "Public utilities, such as parks, playgrounds, pools, libraries, are provided but sparingly for city-dwelling Negroes in the south. The streets in colored sections are not infrequently found unpaved, ill-lighted and without sewers. Perhaps in not many communities have Negroes an equal chance before the law, where, if anywhere in the world, men ought to be equal. Indiscriminate arrests, ready police, club, petit courts where men are esteemed guilty until they prove themselves innocent, are the means by which injustices innumerable are inflicted. Mob violence and lynching, though all too common still, nevertheless appear to be waning rapidly before an awakened public conscience." eminent American college professor recently brought out a volume in which he seeks to establish the following thesis: Civilization in the past was based upon the economic exploitation of one class by another within the same racial groups; exploitation within the white group must stop; it must prepare at once for a campaign of exploitation among the other races of the world. The sentiment has found cruder and more popular expression in the Ku Klux Klan. The religion of Jesus is the only influence either willing or able to challenge this philosophy of dominance and psychology of exploitation. The future of civilization is not in the hands of any one race. It is rather the task of men of goodwill from among many races. Right methods or racial adjustment can be discovered only by a democratic process, and men of other races have as definite a contribution to make to the discovery as those of the white race. In every race there are men of the Christian spirit who know that special privilege is a menace to individual and social progress, and who are willing to forego it and join like-minded men from other groups in the search for interracial justice through service and helpfulness. Racial adjustment is rendered more difficult by lack of any comprehensive body of trustworthy facts regarding race. These facts are not easily gathered nor rapidly interpreted. Long periods are required to determine the meaning of tendencies among racial groups. The technique for studying racial differences is as yet crude and ele- "Up From Monkey Or Down From God" Dr. Charles Satchel Morris Talks on Evolution Adam all die, so in Christ Jesus shall be made alive."—I Cor. 15. This was Darwin's doctrine on his dying bed and it knocks out the evolution of his young manhood. In Darwin's young manhood he was willing to sponsor evolution and receive the fame and finance that came with a theory that he admitted "took like wildfire" and "people made a religion of." But when he came to the valley and shadow of death he quietly deserted his deluded followers and their religion, EVOLUTION, and sought and I trust found refuge in Christ and His salvation. How much finer and fairer would it have been for him, instead of deserting his deluded followers secretly leaving them still to worship at the shrine of evolution, while he turned as a fallen lost son of Adam to Christ for him like Romanes, Virechow and others who found that they were fooled by the will o' the wisp of Evolution to have public disavowed evolution, admitted it only a clumsy 'guess' without scientific foundation. If he had done so millions of people who fiercely deny they are "fallen," "lost," "must be born again" or that they cannot see the kingdom of Heaven" might have humbly sought the Lord, found Him who is not far from any of us and be where I believe Bryan is and hope Darwin has gone. How beautiful for Bryan, the old warrior, to close his eyes on his beloved wife and open them on his beloved Saviour—absent from the body—present with the Lord. By W. W. Alexander, Secretary, Commission of Inter-racial Co-operation. (Reprinted from Federal Council Bulletin. American race questions are but part of a race problem which exists around the world. In Egypt, South Africa, India and the Pacific are racial situations in many respects almost identical with those in the United States, and usually more acute. The race problem in A- exists around the world. In Egypt, South Africa, India and the Pacific are racial situations in many respects almost identical with those in the United States, and usually more acute. The race problem in America would of Mr. Alexander itself be of little significance to civilization. But as an important segment of a circle of suspicion and misunderstanding that reaches around the globe, including unnumbered millions of many races and climes, it is of great significance. Among the groups recently brought into the closest contacts, "tinted races" comprise by far the larger number; but for some time past the unintended minority have enjoyed by far the larger measure of control over the affairs of the world. Unfortunately, this privileged minority has not always exercised its power in such a way as to inspire the confidence of its subjects. Indeed, the exercise of power rarely ever does result in confidence. Its very possession inspires suspicion, for which history has furnished aample and plausible grounds. Exploitation vs. Cooperation In the past, human contacts were dominated by the philosophy of exploitation. In theory, at least, this philosophy has been abandoned. The passing of slavery would seem to indicate that the improvement is real. However, the psychology resulting from exploitation persists in the minds of both groups and vastly complicates race relations today. On the one side is contempt and condescension for those formerly held in servitude; on the other side there is resentment and suspicion. One of the leading dailies in America has recently given repeated expression to the sentiment that the white race must dominate the other peoples of the world and that some sort of cooperation among white nations must be brought about at once, particularly in the interest of controlling the Pacific. The editor tells us that the people of the East must be "kept under." An VI. Last week I quoted Darwin as turning from evolution to Christ on his dying bed. Lady Hope, who visited him on his dying bed said when she spoke to him about those who rejected the first chapters of Genesis in which Moses gives an account of the creation and fall of man. "He seemed greatly disturbed. His fingers twitched nervously; a look of agony came over his face as he said, "I was a young man with unformed ideas (Darwin, on his dying bed called evolution an "unformed idea") Threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything (this is the very opposite of science which deals with facts) and to my astonishment the ideas took like wild fire. People made a religion of them, (that is throw away God's eternal revolution that is "able to make one wise unto salvation" for "unformed ideas," queries and suggestions" of a young man groping in the dark till he grabbed the theory of evolution—and then they made a religion evolution,) a religion Darwin abandoned on his dying bed and begged Lady Hope to speak to his servants of "Christ and His Salvation." Why should we need Christ's salvation if we came from monkeys?—we have never fallen. Only those need salvation who fell in Adam. The old book says, "by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin." Rom. 3. It is only because we are all children of Adam we are not great grandchildren of monkeys and therefore did not "evolute". "As in Saturday, August 15, 1925 A. H. mentary. Moreover, feeling plays so large a part in racial attitudes that it is difficult for men to be national. Feelings easily crystalize into dogma. In America today, for example, dogmatic statements about relative racial capacity are being announced, founded so far not on scientific research, but on bare, unsupported assumptions. The Promise of the Negro It should not be supposed, however, that prejudice and antagonism constitute the universal American attitude toward the Negro. Thoughtful Americans, North and South, do not share these sentiments. In America's experience with Negroes they see nothing to justify hysteria or pessimism as to the ultimate outcome. On the contrary, they see much to encourage the hope that racial differences will yet be found not a menace to civilization, but a means for its enrichment, not a cause of war, but an opportunity for fellowship in the common tasks of human welfare. The educational processes have not been in operation long enough or with sufficient thoroughness to indicate finally what special capacities American Negroes may possess. They have, however, shown an inclination to the arts that has already enriched our national life. This has had its most promising expression in music and poetry. There have been significant outcroppings also in painting, sculpture and drama. With almost no opportunity, Negroes have done conspicuous work in science. Prof George Carver, of Tuskegee Institute, has startled the world with his original and valuable contributions to the science of agricultural chemistry. Other contributions may be expected in this field as opportunities open. Not the least encouraging aspect of Negro life in America is the emphasis placed by Negro leaders on education and religion as the forces which can contribute most to the advancement of the race. While the condition of Negroes in America is steadily improving, they still labor under not a few burdensome handicaps and disabilities. Though provisions for Negro education are increasing rapidly, the ratio of public outlay per child still averages four or five times as much for white children as for colored. For higher education Negroes must yet depend largely upon institutions supported by benevolent boards or individuals. Public utilities, such as parks, playgrounds, pools, libraries, are provided but sparingly for city-dwelling Negroes in the South. The streets in colored sections are not infrequently found unpaved, ill-lighted and with hout sewers. Perhaps in not many communities have Negroes an equal chance before the law, where, if anywhere in the world, men ought to be equal. Indiscriminate arrests, ready police clubs and petit courts where men are esteemed guilty until they prove themselves innocent, are the means by which injustices innumerable are inflicted. Mob violence and lynching, though all too common still, nevertheless appear to be waning rapidly before an awakened public conscience. The Segregation Issue Segregation, in many forms, still holds general sway, particularly in the South—separation in schools, places of entertainment and of public recreation, common carriers, hotels, etc. Residential segregation is common, in most cases by tacit understanding, in others by city ordinances, which are now being tested legally and which in two recent cases have been declared unconstitutional by the lower courts: Public sentiment not infrequently operates also to exclude Negroes from certain professions and trades, makes access to the means of culture difficult for them, and denies them participation in many forms of public service. Advocates of segregation defend it on the ground that artificial burriers are necessary for the maintenance of racial integrity. On the other hand, there are those who hold that in so far as segregation is made a badge of inferiority, it defeats the very purpose it professes to serve, in that it breaks down respect for the Negro's personality, retards the development of self-respect, and makes inevitably for illicit amalgamation. One can explain on no other ground the large measure of intermingling of blood that has already taken place. It is pointed out also in the West Indies, when forced segregation does not exist, racial intermixture, the marriage and otherwise, is greater than here. Happily there are a pleas of light. Program being made at a rate that is encouraging to anyone with a sense of perspective. Our councils are all demanding the principles of Jesus to be to these questions. Those of church groups are seeking understand and to realise ideal. Multitudes of college students, destined to be the back of the next generation, areoping off age-long accretion, prejudice and looking at question intelligently astily. Negro leaders are with listened to with profound interest. The newspaper is without exception, are with the plan for justice. Inter-committees throughout the try are working together for total helpfulness. The goal is yet a long way head. There are vast tars of ignorance, misconception prejudice still blocking it Yet in the light of present it is possible for the epochs to look forward to a day understanding, justice and will shall prevail between white and colored races itica.
