Body Laid To Rest On Slope Of The City In Which Political "Ace" Staged His Memorable Battles.

RESPECTS TO DECEASED
Washington. D. C., Sept. 16
—On the slope of a hill in Mt.
Harmony cemetery the remains of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia member of the Republican National Committee, were laid at rest last Monday afternoon.
Funeral services were held at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, of which the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, is pastor. Simplicity marked them.
Order of Service
There was the funeral processional. The choir and the audience sang a hymn, "Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross." Prayer was offered by Major Oscar J. W. Scott. Barrington Guy sang "Lead Kindly Light." Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General and law partner of Mr. Johnson, read the letter of condolence from President Coolidge. Roscoe Conklin. Simmons gave the obituary.
Then came the preacher, the Rev. P. James Bryant, pastor of Wheat Street Baptist Church, Atlanta Ga. His text was: "He is not dead, but sleeps. I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live again."
Rey. Bryant's Eulogy
The Rev. Bryant told the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead, and declared that Mr. Johnson, like Lazarus, is not dead but alive.
"Death is not annihilation," said the Rev. Bryant. "Death is not cessation. Death is a transfer to another region; it is a continuation of life upon a higher and unlimited and more glorious plane." The Rev. Bryant declared that, "Every time the Odd Fellows of Georgia meet in the future, Henry Lincoln Johnson will be present. Every time a Republican convention meets in Georgia, Henry Lincoln Johnson will be present. Every time a Republican National convention meets anywhere in America, Henry Lincoln Johnson will be present. Every time life is a word to be spoken, a battle to be fought, a defense to be made for the black man, Henry Lincoln Johnson will be present in spirit. He is not dead but sleepeth."
Apxious About His Successor
Closing his sermon in an eloquent persecution, he said: "I am wonderin who in Georgia; I am wonderin who in the race; I am wonderin who in the Republican party; I am wonderin who in the councils of the Nation will take Henry Lincoln Johnson's place. Here is a challenge to the best men among to rise up and measure up to the fullness of the stature of men; the chair and sing "God Will Take Care of You," the Elks conducted their funeral ceremonies. The remains were viewed, after which the funeral cortege began its journey to his final resting place. Throughout the ordeal, Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson, the widened, bore up bravely. Not until the last clods of earth had covered the casket did she finally break down. She was supported from the grave to the carriage on the arms of her two sons, Henry Lincoln and Peter Douglas. Their offerings were many and beautiful. They took in the whole range of designs and came from persons in all walks of life as well as from various organizations.
Persons from all sections of the country came to pay their last respects and homenage a Postmaster General Harry S. New, Senator William M. Burler, the Chairman of the Republican Committee; J. Davis, Secretary of the Interior; Governor John H. Hartlett, first assistant Postmaster General; Representative J. Will Taylor, Republican National Committeeman for Tennessee; J. C.

Death Ends Notable Career
HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON
LIFE CONVICT GETS ANOTHER 20-YEAR PENITENTIARYTERM
To Serve A Life Term In The Penitentiary And 20 Years Additional; Convicted On More Charges Last Week.
To paraphrase a familiar biblical quotation to read, "The law pursueth when no man fleeth," would make a fitting quotation in the case of Charles Worden, convicted three weeks ago in Corporation Court No. 1, on a first degree murder charge in connection with the killing of Harold Gregory in his father's store on the night of July 18, and given a life term in the penitentiary. In addition to his life sentence, Worden was given 20 years in the penitentiary when he pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery by force of arms and a charge of malicious shooting in the same court last Friday. These latter charges were the outrightness of a robbery which participated in on the night of July 18 and in connection with the crime for which he got a life sentence. Commonwealth's Attorney Wilson assigned as his reason for prosecuting these two charges, in spite of Worden's life sentence, was to frustrate any possibility of an early pardon.
Now, Worden is in the penitentiary in the anomalous situation of having a life term to serve and 20 years additional. Since it was not reported that the sentences are to run concurrently, it is assumed that the man who served the first imposed of life imprisonment before starting in on his sentence. Certainly, in his case the law continued to pursue, even after his flight had been quite effectively checked.
BOY SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS IN PEN
Richmond, Va.—James Holmes, 14 year old and of Blackstone, who it claimed chained guilty to a charge of attempted assault before Judge Edwin P. Cox, sitting in the September term of Notlowtown Circuit Court, was given ten years in the State penitentiary, which is located in this city. It will be recalled that, a few weeks ago the colored lad was arrested in connection with an attempted assault on the white girl of Blackstone; it will also be remanded that he steadfastly defended his guilt. Whether or not the aged colored woman who assisted the girl in fighting off her assailant was called upon to identify the prisoner has not been divulged, as is the usual custom in such cases in which Negroes are involved, no details as to the evidence offered in the case, as to how conviction was secured by the court, was given to the public.

President Expresses Deep Sorrow at Passing of Loyal Adherent and Race's Most Able and Persistent Defender
DIED AT FREEDMEN'S
HOSPITAL THURSDAY
Washington, D. C., Sept. 12
—One of the first letters of condolence received by Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson upon the death of her husband, Henry Lincoln Johnson. Republican National Committeeman for Georgia, came from President Coolidge. Immediately upon his arrival from Swampscott, Mass., last Thursday, he was informed of the death of Mr. Johnson. He wrote Mrs. Johnson as follows:
"My dear Mrs. Johnson:
"At the moment of my return to Washington today, I have received intelligence of the death of your husband. I wish you to know of my sorrow at his passing, and of the sympathy which I feel for you and your sons in your great loss. I have long known and prized the loyalty of Mr. Johnson to his party and to myself personally, and I recognize that in his death his associates lose a valued friend and his race one of its ablest and most consistent defenders. "Most sincerely yours, "CALVIN COOLIDGE" Death Followed Stroke Mr. Johnson died at Freedman's Hospital at 1 o'clock last Thursday morning from a cerebral hemorrhage. He suffered a third stroke of apoplexy while in the water at Highland Beach, Md., Sunday, September 6, as he was about to climb a motor launch. Sylvester Pinkney and Barrington Guy, who were in the boat, pulled him out of the water and saved hip from death by drowning.
He was unconscious when he reached the shore. He was rushed to the Annapolis city hospital, where he was admitted, but when it was learned that he was colored he was ordered removed from the private room where he had been carried to a segregated ward, notwithstanding his critical condition. The superintendent even refused to permit his doctors to render him first aid in the private room. On Tuesday he was brought to Freedman's Hospital here. He died Thursday without having regained consciousness. He was under the care of Doctors Charles I. West and A. M. Curtis. He is survived by his wife, Mrs Georgia Douglas Johnson, and two sons, Lincoln and Peter.
Born in Augusta, Ga.
Henry Lincoln Johnson was born in Augusta, Ga., July 27, 1870 and received his college education at Atlanta University. He graduated from the law school of the University of Michigan in 1892. He began the practice of law in Jackson, Ga., where he had taught school and earned money with which to obtain a legal education. Mr. Johnson later moved to Atlanta where he achieved success and won the respect of the bar as one of its most brilliant members.
President Taft appointed him Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia. His nomination was confirmed March 14, 1910, but he did not assume office until May 2, 1910. He served until his resignation became effective June 30, 1914.
Delegaté Since 1896
He has been a delegate from Georgia to every Republican National Convention since 1896. In the Republican National Convention of 1912, the twenty-eight votes from Georgia which he controlled made him the arbiter of whether Taft should be nominated for a second term or the Roosevelt people given control of the convention. He remained loyal to Taft although the Roosevelt people made him all kinds of proposals towing the Georgia delegation to the supra convention. *Sir Grace Stirling*
SPAULDING SEES WEALTH AS PRIME UPLIFT FACTOR
Tells Assembly of National Baptist Convention That Money Is The Source By Which Manhood is Reached
NEW ECONOMIC ERA FOR THE RACE VISUALIZED
Baltimore, M.D. "Acquisition of money and securities is the source by which we reach genuine man and womanhood. Without money and securities there can be no leisure; without leisure there can be no thrill; without thought there can be no constructive achievement," declared C. C. Spalding, of Durham, N.C. in an address before the annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, in this city last week.
Mr. Spalding visualizes a new economic era, brought about by education and organization, opening for the American Negro, and he quoted statistics to show the Negro's importance in the nation's economic system. Negro labor, he explained, provides one-seventh of workers in the United States to operate a million farms, one-fourth of which they own themselves; one-third of all iron and steel workers, and one-tenth of all railway workers are Negroes.
Mr. Spaulding declared that uplift of colored people would be attained only when Negroes attained wealth to be recognized as a factor.
GETS 48 YEARS ON TWO CHARGES OF CRIMINAL ASSAULT
Man Trapped In Custom House And Arrested On Flimlam Charge Draws Long Sentences.
Sentences aggregating 48 years in the penitentiary, drawn in the Corporation Court No. 2, by Wallace Porter 408 Cumberland street, over a period of six months. Even at that, considering the seriousness of the nature of his alleged crimes and the State statutes covering his offenses, he was fortunate in escaping the death penalty.
Harris' downfall came through being caught-red-handed practicing the age-old flimlam game of pretending to place persons in jail, but he drew his long sentences on evidence, flimlam assault charges. Harris was tried early (Continued on Page 408)
ASKS COURT TO MOVE COLORED NEIGHBORS
ASKS COURT TO MOVE COLORED NEIGHBORS
(Special to Journal and Guide)
Richmond, Va., September 14-
Negroes the country over will
watch with interest the developments
of the Court of Law
and Equity here last week, which
will test the validity of restrictions
imposed upon residential plots by
estate developers and of current
statutes designed to separate
districts occupied by white and colored
people. Particularly will colored
citizens of Norfolk be concerned
with the progress of the city
by the newly established in that
an ordinance was enacted segregating
the white and colored residential
districts.
The suit which was filed by J. Herbert Floyd, J. F. Bailey and Frank Wallenhorst, representing residents in Chamberlayne Court, a development of the Land Investment Corporation, prays for a permanent injunction restraining Lemuel V. and Mary B. Eggleston, colored, from living any longer at 2337 Brook road.
The bill of complaint states that the Eggleston couple purchased a double lot in Chamberlayne Court in violation of the restrictions in the deed contract, and further violations of the restrictions, built a house there and are living there. The restrictions, says the bill, bar colored people from owning lots and from building and living there for a period of twenty-five years beginning March 1989. I ask the permanent injunction requiring the colored couple to vacate at once, to lease to white people pending settlement of the litigation and to sell the property to white people. In the event of refusal by them, the bill asks that the court appoint a receiver to carry out these aims.

Sharon Baptist Pastor Intimates That Garvey's Adherent Could Not Spread Propaganda in Their Church
By ROBT, A. CRUMP
Richmond, Va.—At one of the public Garvey meetings held at intervals in this city, and before the largest gathering the local branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has ever got together here, William L. Sherrell, President, General Association, assoc'd with the lecture at Sharon Baptist Church here Thursday night.
There was a good sprinkling of white people in the audience, members of the Anglo-Saxon Club, which consists of such men as Dr. Lawrence T. Price, who some months ago sent out letters asking all Southerners who were members of the Hampton Institute Endowment Fund Committee to their names and support from the committee because "N e w p o r t the committee that Hampton was "teaching social equality" Dr. W. A. Plecker, Director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, who along with John Powell drew up, and had passed in the Virginia General Assembly, the racial integrity law, and Earnest S.

RACE REPUBLICANS MEET AT BUCKROE
Decide To Hold A State Convention And Oppose Nominees Of The Lily-whites.
The answer of the Negro Republicans of Virginia to the action of the Lily-white group in their State convention at Roanoke recently, who lived with their Lily-whismis was the holding of a meeting at Bayport Hotel, Buckroe Beach Sunday at which it was decided to hold a State convention and to oppose every nominee of the Republican Roanoke convention who stands upon the Lily-white principles of "denying to colored Republicans full participation in the affairs of the party in the State."
Pollard Called Meeting
The Buckroe Beach meeting was held at the instance of Joseph R. Pollard, of Richmond, State chairman of the Republican party, as represented by an organization of colored voters, which originated in Virginia about six years ago. A large and representative delegation of men and women are attending the meeting. J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, read the call and Dr. P. A. Scott, District Chairman, took the chair. W. E. Mason, of Newport News, was elected chairman and Dr. S. J. Smith, representing Warwick county and John A. Goffigan, of Cape Charles representing the Eastern Shore, were named in the places of deceased members of the committee.
A resolution was passed endorsing Joseph R. Pollard, State chairman of the National Committeeman from Virginia. With Dr. W. E. Atkins, chairman and W. Dr. R. Walker, secretary, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions of respect in honor of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson.

K, K, KLAN WRITES TO BLACK BILLY SUNDAY
Objects to White Persons Attending His Evangelical Meetings and Threatens Him With Midnight Ride.
The Rev. Calvin P. Dixon, evangelist, who styles himself "Black Billy Sunday," is having some more trouble getting his gospel messages over. It will be recalled that during the past summer Rev. Dixon was summarily ordered away from Richmond, because it was alleged, his meetings which are held in the open air, were disturbing the quiet of the community. From Richmond he came to Norfolk and set up his tent in Perey street, where he preached highly to large crowds including many whites, until two weeks ago, when he went to Newport News, his home town, and started a meeting there.
Gets Letter Signed K. K. K.
On Monday of this week, two weeks after he closed his meetings on Percy street, Rev. Dixon received a letter signed K. K. K., which warned him to keep white people away from his meetings, adding that if he did not comply he would be treated. He told them included, so that it will take you some time to get back to town."
May Be Mistaken Identity
The letter referred to meetings on Golf street, and as Rev. Dixon is in no way connected with the Golf street meetings he thinks that the Klan, or the writer of the letter, is with the parties now conducting meetings on Golf street. He says, however, that all his meetings are open to white people as well as colored, that special seats are provided for the whites and that they are always welcome to take as prominent part in his services as they like. This has been the case for years and will continue to be his custom in the future, Rev. Dixon told the Journal and Guide.
The letter, which was dated September 8th, road is follows:
"We have been noticing in your tent meeting on Goff street, now for the past week that your congregation is mixed, with white people taking active part in your meeting. You do not seem to regard is as a violation of the law. Therefore, to avoid you and your congregation being disturbed at any time, we warn you that you notify them to stay away from your services, lest we give you a midnight ride with them included, so that it will take you some time to get back to town.
"Respectfully,
"K. K. K."
WIDOW WILL LOSE ESTATE IF SEEN IN COMPANY WITH MEN

SHEPARD PLEADS THAT ATTACKS ON DURKEE CEASE
Prominent North Carolina Educator Appeals To Alumni And Friends To Consider Best Interests of The Race.
POINTS TO FIVE-YEAR PROGRESS OF HOWARD
Durham, N. C., September 14—Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the North Carolina College for Negroes, and a foremost educator, in a strong statement issued from here this week, pleaded that he tacks on Presidency Durkee of Howard University by those who profess sincerely interest in the welfare of the institution cease. Dr. Shepard comes out in defense of President Durkee's administration, but his most saintl pleadings concern his manifested anxiety over the probable fate of the University and Negro education should the strife breeding around Howard continue. For the best interest of the University, as he regards it, he makes a plea to the Howard alumni and friends to cease their fight and antagonism against President Durkee for the best interest of the University and for the general good of the race.
Dr. Shepard said:
"As one vitally interested in the success of the race of which I am proud to be a member, and particularly in the success of Howard University, because I number as some of my closest friends many of its graduates both men and women, and because I have been accepted to the University as the Alumni of the University as an honorary member, I feel free to address this letter which I hope each graduate of the institution and each member of the Alumni Association will regard as personal.

woman that I have conquered,

HUBBY POSSESSES
BOUNDLESS LOVE
FOR FIERY SPOUSE
She Puts Out His Eyesight
And Chops His Scalp, Yet
He Pleads That She Be Not
Harmed.
A boundless love, a love that
qualled not even at having the eyes
of its possessor put out by the
object of that love, was what John
Keys, colored of Jamaica, L. L,
possessed for his wife, Louisa, in
according to revelations made in the
Jannien Court before Magistrate
Gresser has handled. Louisa was
before the court charged with strik-
ing her husband on the head, in-
flicting a deep cut during an alteration in their home Thursday afternoon.
Pleads For Her
With hands chisped before his sightless eyes and his voice trembling with emotion, Keys pleaded with the Magistrate to dismiss the complaint against his wife.
John was blinded for life three months ago when his wife threw ly into his eyes, and after being released from the hospital he successfully pleaded for her freedom.
Keys slowly walked to the bar when his case was called. He had been sitting in court holding hands with the woman who blinded him.
"Oh Judge, please let her go," Keys pleaded. "She has been good to me. She bought me a radio, She didn't hurt me."
"Well, who hit you?" asked the Magistrate.
"Judge, I did it myself. I hit the head against the washtub. Please let her judge."
To the woman, Magistrate Gresser said:
"You are an inhuman wretch. You got away with blinding your husband and then you commit this atrocious act."
As the woman denied the charge, the Magistrate continued: "The weapon had blood on it when it was taken from you. What an appalling thing to do! You are absolutely inhuman."
Objected to Boarders
The woman's head also was bandaged. According to the police the altercation started when Keys, objecting to his wife having white boards, wanted to leave the home, and during the fight that followed, he is alleged to have struck her on the head. The police also said that neither would press a charge of felonious assault against the other, they were discharged. When they left the court Louis was leading John by the hand.

RUE REFORMERS HOLD FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION
Richmond, Va.---The 45th annual session of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers was held at the Reformer Hall, September 8, 9 and 10. From all reports this was about the liveliest and from many points the most successful and harmonious session this pioneer of fraternal organizations has held in many years. An unusually interesting program was arranged. On the opening night, with Grand Master Lee Trent, of Washington, D. C., in charge, Mrs. Alma J. Scott, of Washington, delivered a wonderful address in response to the rousing welcome extended them by Prof. Miles W. Conner, of Virginia Union University. Ten minute talks by Rev. R. Beacher Taylor and Lawyer W. F. Denny, proved fascinating. Mr. Denny said all the other societies and clubs---calling many of them by name in the city---got their inspiration and ideas from the old Reformers. The session was filled with business and the outlook for the future seems very bright.
LAND BOOM
Another big land boom is on. They spring up about here at intervals. This time it is on Church Hill. A number of choice building lots on 29th, 30th and 31st Streets were sold at auction Thursday evening. A band concert and all that usually goes with these salts were in evidence.
SCHOOLS OPEN
There were not any more people in the city Thursday than there usually are at all other times, but it seems that the streets were literally swamped. Bright and smiling faces were plentiful and there was continuous chatter, such as has not been heard for some months. This day marked the opening of the public schools and thirty thousand children lined the streets going to and from school.
TO TRAIN CHOIR
Since Mr. Joseph Matthews has been well fair success in training the white choir here, he was asked to come to the Broad Street Methodist Church, white, and teach the choir there how to sing the Negro spirituals.
SOME OF SHERRILY'S POINTS
Mr. William L. Sheerrill, acting
president general of the U. N. L.
A, said among other things in his
address here Thursday night; "God
made the world and gave it to
man, not to one man but to tell.
He made black men, brown men,
yellow men and white men, just
as he made black birds, red birds
and brown birds. God never

"There is only one question for us in this country, it is the color of our skin. The Negro can go so far and no further. The Negro is wasting his time to be building up this country for the. white man when he ought to be building his own country in, which he would have equal opportunity and equal rights.
"The American Negro is the tool of the politicians. Education is not the solution to the race problem," were some of Mr. Sherrill's pointed remarks.
MASONIC GRAND LODGE
The Masonic Grand Lodge of Virginia opened its annual session at the Reformers Hall, Thursday, at which time they are celebrating the 50th anniversary of that grand old fraternity. There are more than 3,000 delegates in attendance according to Grand Master J. C. Robertson.
New Fifth Street Church Building
Sunday night marked the last service to be held in the Old 5th Street Baptist Church building. Monday morning the wreckers began to demolish the old structure to make ready for the handsome new church that is to be erected there, which will cost $100,000 when completed. Led by the pastor and the choir, the congregation marched, after the closing of, the services at the old Church Sunday night, to the Reformers Hall, at which place services will be held until the completion of the new edifice. It was quite an unusual scene, and one that filled the very soul with spiritual fire to see such a number of Christian worshipers marching through the streets and singing praises unto God. Rev. T. J. King, the pastor is, besides
being an able divine, a man of great personality and power. He has wonderful control over his immense congregation and has been able to do more good at Fifth (St. Church than any pastor they have had for a long time.

and free speech, but I do hope that every member of the race regardless of this freedom will recognize certain basic principles. The first one is, every man's liberty ends where another's rights begin. It is because of the rights of the Negro race and the involving of its future progress that certain liberties should end and the rights of others be considered.

The one man at the head is simply an executive officer using time and talent to carry out the suggestions of the many educators of the country to the best of his ability and power and to bring to the institution things which we mean the growth, expansion, and deepening of the University's ability to train and women for future service. I take it that education means the preparation of an individual for constructive service in the world.
"The combined strength and generosity of two continents stand in the background of Fisk University's progress, so surely the great United States as represented by Congress is and has been the background of Howard's progress. The sane and thoughtful person should ask him or herself the question of the race and a recipient of such favor to forget the progress already achieved and to waste my time and strength kicking against the petty thought of who is leading unless the leader is unworthy of leadership. Is it not the time to troge ahead to a more perfect place of success for our place in the scheme of things?"
"Opposed to Rioting"
"As a race we stand unalterably opposed to rioting, lawlessness, disorders, strikes, and against tension in any form. These are the things which we fight tooth and toe nail."
How then can we introduce such principles in an institution devoted to the higher training of the Negro race to fit our young men and women for the leadership of the future? To do or encourage such things prove us unworthy of leadership and unworthy of the assistance of our friends in any race. Leaders who devise such are not striking at Howard University only, but they are striking at the whole program of education for the Negro people in this country.
"I hold no brief for the President of Howard University. I have admired him as a man for several years. I have admired his fearlessness in standing for the rights of the race of which he was not a member. I have heard him sneak out in the North and in the South against injustices in the press, pleading for justice for the poor, some fully into his arm. I have heard him in the pulpit, in educational gatherings, and not once can I believe that he is inimical to the progress and achievements of the race to which I belong. Such a stand now would be contrary to all the principles for which he has stood in the past. If he has changed, is it the part of wisdom to destroy an institution and to blight the Negro so as an institution supported by the Government is concerned in order that we might destroy the President who can go no further than the Board of Trustees gives him power to go?
"One of the things which deserves careful consideration is the tremendous progress made at Howard University in the field of Art. A College, the large number of finely equipped new buildings which have been added in the various departments of the institution, the large amount of endowment raised, and the vast number of students enrolled in today Howard has the largest number of students of any university in the country.
"I appeal to my friends in my race to not let us go on record as opposing a president because he may be a support of our white friends. We need their encouragement and strength. I believe we are fast coming to the time when Negroes should manage their own institutions, but I am frank that the time has not yet come to all the institutions at the present time. Let us be worthy by our authority, by our judgment, by executive ability to construct things, then we will be called from the things we now control to things we ought to control. I appeal to every well-wisher of the Negro race. I appeal to every graduate of Howard University. I appeal to every student of Howard University to put down disorder, to put down strikes, to put down rebellion and not to put in jeopardy the future progress of petty joyless university or selfish desire. I appeal to my students not to make the race bear brunt of the opinion of the world that it cannot be trusted in leadership, that it has no poise and judgment, that it seeks to pull down instead of putting up. I appeal to down and putting up from those disorders of any kind. This is not the way, to permanent success. Law and order must prevail, not formed by lynch law must be tolerated by the freedom and progressive people. There can be no progress without the planned side of justice, side of race. We can work apart in America. We must plan together and work together to we are going to develop two races side by side, each with malicious rights which must be protected and regarded by the other race. We have no time for strife. We have no time for bitterness. We have no time for sowing seeds of discord or encouraging any individual or group of individuals who are seeking their own personal aggrandizement rather than the rights and advancement of the whole race. If there are wrongs at the university any person involved in the Council by the friends of education and the friends and supporters of the University. They cannot be remedied by strikes, intimidation, or force. This is more than a local matter. It strikes at the national heart of a people.
It is in the spirit of a brother and friend that I address this personal letter in the for mof a public appeal to the members of my race.

THE MAN HE TURNED THE TABLES
ON OUT ON THE COAST
It has been claimed by some of
the bluise ones that Harry Wills
is giving George Godfrey the run
around. Such might be true. You
never can tell. Godfrey has been
trying for some time to engage
Harry in a little gentlemanly fist-
cuffing, but it seems that the 'Pan-
ther' wants none of his game. It
is said that George is bigger,
stronger, faster, younger, bet-
ter than the gant from the Chelsea
locks. If he is all that he is one
stepping baby.
Godfrey has been coming fast and he is slated to go to the top form in his profession under careful maneuvering and he seems to have that in his present manager, who is continuing to work for his big boy. Godfrey's chief trouble has been getting the necessary heart, that lion heart of the fighter. It seems that he has a great deal of sympathy for the other fellow when he gets under weather. This is altogether the wrong attitude for a legalized man mauler, as assume the position of host and avoid-the-results. The main objective of a fighter is to crush the other fellow and the cauliflower who has not the heart to follow up any advantage has thrown a great percentage of the scrap into the water bucket. Godfrey, it is a return bout with Jake on the Coast, avenged himself by turning the tables on the French-Canadian, and winning

FROM THE PRESS BOX
Hot Times In The Old League This Year
THE baseball season that is swiftly waning has been a very hot one, indeed, in both the major and few of the minor leagues. It was uncertain practically all of the season who would come out on top of the heap in the major and Virginia leagues, but at this time it seems that the sun has set on those teams that are to battle
for season honors.
The team are being in the American and the Pirates are still shamming heftily away in the Nationals. In the Virginia League, the Richmond Colts are leading by a fairly good margin and I'll venture to say that the three named clubs will be still leading in spectative associations when all is said and done and the season and diet of battle have died away. Of course, there are quite a few more games yet before the curtains will close on the drama of the season. Yet, those teams that are leading, seemingly have the need to until the grand finale.
essary stint to take over, to start up and down race all season with first one team on the top, and then another, but now it seems that those teams that are now topping the hep are inclined to stay put. The Pirates and Giants waged a hot scramble for first position. It was generally believed by some that the Pirates would stay in the lead, but unthought of Pittsburgh did a dizzy pace and rode up the hill to ease into the league leadership. The Pirates are a way in front of McGrawLion, led with a somewhat safe margin. In the American league, the champion Senators seem to be determined to repeat this year, not only do they seem determined, it is almost certain that the ownership will not be threatened. Washington is hard to believe that the Athletics and Mack's men have been dizzy. Philadelphia started out at a fast pace to do something the club has not done since Hector was a pup. The Athletics really looked good when they were running rough shot over the other
court.
In the Virginia league Richmond has things enclosed. Portsmouth is almost out of the running and Norfolk can only win. Portsmouth can put over that final win with a Nicoa League, St. Louis is standing with ten game lead at this writing and in the final. Hildale is riding the safety best.

It does not seem at all reasonable that Wills would try to evade a fight with the Greenwich Village ididio, especially since he has expended his time to corner Dempsey. It is also clear that Wills will take on either Madden, Maloney, Kinch, or Jack Sharkey somewhere in Jersey, probably Newark. How true this is we do not know. It's only a report and it has no evidence as one as many of them are.

Wills in turn cannot hear the equally bitter complaints of George Godfrey, the big Negro fighter, who has been on Wills' spoor for almost a year. Godfrey would be no part of a set-up if this match was ever made. He is bigger than Wills, younger than Wills, faster than Wills and a better boxer than Wills.
"These are assets not to be overlooked. Godfrey knocked out Tate after Tate had held Wills about even in two ten-round affairs. A Wills-Godfrey test would draw its share of gold bullion for a cold winter just ahead, but Wills, in the meanwhile, is slipping Godfrey the same type of dead-eye which Dempsey is handling him."

HOWARD HAS TIGHT HOME GRIDIRON CARD
(By Associated Negro Press.)
Washington, D. C., Sept. 16—Coach Wattson issued a call for Howard University football candidates to report on the University Campus beginning last Monday. Seventy letters were sent out inviting all of last year's squad and a large number of new men to report. Coaches L. L. Watson and Charles West have had frequent conferences with Captain Long concerning plans for the coming season. All phases of the season's campaign have involved out in detail and candidates for the team have been impressed with the importance of pre-season training with the result that letters from men all over the country are pouring into the Coach's office, reassuring him of hearty cooperation.
Followers of the team will be interested to know that the following "vets" among others have indicated that they will be on hand, Captain Long, Campbell, Shipley, former Captain Kapsch, Daniel Miller, George Milkert, Martin, Kelley, "Dick" McClain, Bradley and Joe Dodson. These old timers expect to furnish plenty of competition for the new boys. There will be hot times on the Old Campus from Monday, September 14th until the Bisons have crushed the savage Lincoln Lions on Thanksgiving day next in Philadelphia.
Washington, D. C.-The Bison Ranch received still brighter hopes of successful season in football when word came in that the Miller Brothers of national C. I. A.

GET FIRST WIN
OFF HILLDALE
Side-arm Johnnie Harper pitched
the Lincoln Giants to their first
win of ‘the season over the Hilldale
team, when the New Yorkers
downed the, Darby Daisies at Hill-
dale Park By the score of 8 to 3.
Harper held the home team to
seven widely scattered hits, while
the visitors pounded the curves of
Red Ryan and Script Lee for four-
teen lusty blows. For seven in-
nings the game was 2 close contest
wjth Hilldale tying the count on
two oceasions and at the end of
the “stretchie” seventh the score
stood three all.
However, in the next frame the
visitors turned on the fire works
and combed Lee's delivery for five
tallies that sewgd up the game.
Capt. Charlie Lindsay of the New
York aggregation played a stellar
game both in the field and at the
bat. The visiting short-stop per
snared all of his nine chances and
laced out a single and a double,
The victory Was the first of the
season that Jim Keenan’s clan have
been able to put over on Hilldale
and since the clubs have played
their respective ten league games,
the game was an exhibition con-
test.

Gets 48 Years
In Penitentiary
(Continued from Page One)
last spring on’a charge of crimi-
nally assaulting, a 25 "year old col-
oré woman, was convicted - and
sentenced to 80 years in the peni-
tentiary. Last week in the same
court, he faced a jury on a similar
charge, alleged to have committed
on a 40 year old colored woman,
was convieted and drew a sentence
of 18 years in the penitentiary.
Caught at Custom House
Daring thg time the police were
‘on a look out for him in connection
with his alleged criminal assault
offenses, he had the nerve to go
about the city plying his flimflam
game, He was trapped when he
lured a Lembert’s Point colored
woman to the Custom House upon
the pretense of having her meet
his employer, who he said would
give her work. When the woman
met him as agreed, he induced her
to part with what money she had,
which was $2.60. He then went
inside, telling her-to wait until he
sent his employer out to see her.
Harris had intended going out of
the back doot, leaving his vietim
with the proverbial “bag to hold,”
but he found tho back door locked
His nerve prompted him to seck
the custodian’s aid in an effort to
get out the back way. His actions
aroused the suspicions of Mr, Wil
liam Thorogood, the custodian, whe
investigated and found the~flim-
flammied woman waiting on, the out
sides Mr. Thorogood, sensing the
situation, detained Harris and sent
for Traffic Officer P. Lantz, who
placed the man under arrest,
"Following his arrest, warrant:
‘began to pile up on him, resulting
in his convictions on the serious
charges and his 48-year sentence,
—'Phrowgh the alert thinking ‘o!
Mr. Thorogood this parasite has
been put out of the way for a long
time.
In sentencing him Judge Shackle.
‘ford said:
“You certainly got a light sen

‘heard your threat that no white

BEAUTY MODEL
POSES FOR A
“NOTED ARTIS!
Los Angeles, Calif., Sept, 17—
Miss Ada’ Gaines, whose photo-
graph appears on the cover of this
month's “The Crisis”. Magazine, of-
ficial publication of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, is a.sculptor's mod-
‘e} und motion picture chpracter ac-
‘tress of national note,
She was recently selected to pose
for a bust by Hester Bremer, sculp-
tor of infernational reputation;
and so remarkable in execution and
and yare in type was this portray-
jal, Bremer was given first award
by the Chicago Art Institute where
| the bust now stands.
Following this bit of success
Bremor was inspired to do a second
piece of Miss Gaines forty-eight
feet high, to be pleced in Wash-
ington Squave, Chicago.
Miss Gaines’ has been adjudged
by beauty culturists and judges of
feminine pulchrites as a rare type
of Ethiopian beauty.
Playing the leading role in the
“Star of Ethiopia” a pageant which
was recently given.in Los Angeles
her performang, was highly
lauded by Dr. W. E. B, DuBois

Major Cox, who according lo se-
eret plans of the association, was
scheduled to speak as was ‘John
Powell and Dy, Plecker. although
it was understood in’ advance by
‘the pastor and officers that_these
men were not to speak. Before
Mr. Cox had a chance to say any-
thing, Rev. Roger H. Johnson, pias-
tor of the church intervened, and
carrying out the instructions 0
the officials of ‘the church, refused
to allow Mr. Cox to speak, In a
very mil and unruffled tone of
voice Rev. Johnson informed them
that it was agaihst the wishes of
the chursh 2s a whole to allow
these gentlemen to speak at that
time.
‘The reason advanced by the of-
ficers of Shavon Church for not
wanting the Anglo-Saxon club rep-
resentatives to speak there, was
because they are spreading a'prop-
aganda, that is not to the best in-
terest of the Negra. It is un es-
tablished fact that tke motive of
the Anglo-Saxons in linking them-
selves up with the Garvey move-
ment, is to try to “drive” all Ne-
wgeoes out of America. *
No Split in Church
Tt has heen erroneously published
that Rev, Johnson seid, when he
declined to permit Mr. Cox to speak
that there was a split in his chuvel
over the Garvey movement, inti-
mating that the pastor and some of
his members are aligned with the
Garveyites. | Rev. Johnson issues
a flat denial fo this misstatement,
and further gives out the informa-
tion that there is no division what-
sover mong the members af Shar-
‘on Church, none of whom are in
any way connected with the Uni-
versal Negro Improvement Asse-
ciation, It has been reported that
Mr. Sherrill was surprised and
shoeked at the “dramatic intervup:
tion” by thy pastor. Rey. Johnson
says that Mr. Sherrill as well as
other officers of the U.N. 1. A.
were warnid before the beginning
of the mesting, and promised fail
fully that they would not attempt
to use the building for any: purpose
other than that for whieh it had
heen secured and that was for Mr
Sherrill to deliver an address
“When, therefore, in violation of
Uneir promises," said Mrg Johnson
“an attempt was made to introduec
Mr, Cox, the church officials inter:
vened.”
Rev. Johnson and the officials of
Sharon’ Church have been com
mended by many well thinking Ne
ggroes here for the stand they took

PROBLEMS OF LIFE TO BE LECTURE TO YOUNG MEN
David King Bible Class Of First Baptist ChurchInvites Every S. School and Social Club to Hear Rev. Smith.
The David King Bible Class of the First Baptist Church announces that it has secured the Rev. E. B. Smith, pastor of Zion Church, Portsmouth, to address young men of North Fork on the 4th Sunday in September at 3 p. m. on problematic serious moment affecting them at the present time.
The awful happenings of a few weeks ago when young colored men shot up a store on the corner of Chapel and Henry streets as a result of which one of them is now awaiting the electric chair are fresh in the public mind. But the situation becomes more serious when one ponders the fact that there are thousands of potential murderers still in our midst; that the same conditions that produced the murder already referred to con-

tinue to exist and the flame is liable to burst forth anew whenever opportunity or circumstance perchance meet. The question is "Should the Christian Young Men of the Community do Something for These Men Before They Set Out on a Carrier of Crime?" Rev. Smith is conceded to be a most brilliant orator and has held his own in innumerable debating contests. Even in his student life he had the faculty of drawing to him not only the matured students but the unsettled as well, and many a young man out of harmony with the faculty and facing the downward path set straight through his advice and school. The committee in charge of the meeting is planning for the reception of a group of men that will fill the church to its capacity, as every Sunday school in Norfolk is being invited to send large delegations of young men and groups of social organizations throughout the city are being solicited to turn out in a body.
Rev. Harris Speaks On "Task of Church"
Any one could easily tell that fall was near at hand who witnessed the attendance at the church school of Grace Church last Sunday. The children were present and full of life and vigor, to go to work. Mr. Mason, the superintendent, outlined plans for the "Rally Day" to be held on the 27th of September at which time a very strenuous effort will be made to secure the attendance of every child of Sunday school age. There will be a special program, according to Mr. Mason, consisting of an address by the Superintendent on the "Problems of the Church School". Rev. Harris will speak on "The Place of Religious Education in the Life of the Child" and Miss Margaret Lawrence will speak on "The Relation of the Paras to the Church School". There will be other important features and detailed announcement is promised for next week.
The 11 o'clock service found a good congregation present and Rev Harris spoke from Ephesius 4:31-32 on the "Task of the Church." The speaker developed the thought that with men living their lives surrounded by material things, the Church must address itself to the task of keeping alive the higher inward spiritual life of man. He pointed to the widespread neglect of the Church, the endowment of multitudes to get along without any religion, and surface religion without personal convictions. He pointed to the ignorance, prejudice, bitterness, eccessism, passion and sin and asked the question "Shall we ever bring men into a state of loyalty to Christ?" These things were noted as necessary for the Church to amphsize: First, the source of life; second, the meaning of life; and third the desire of life. At the evening service at 6 p. m. Rev Harris again preached and his subject was the "Worship of the Church at Corinth."
It was announced that Grue Church is to have a new feature about the first of October, a Parish paper. It is the hope of the Vestry to publish this paper on the first of each month. It will be a new means of keeping every number of the congregation in formed as to the various activities of the church.
FUNERAL OF MRS DELILAH
WHITE
The funeral of Mrs. Delilah White, who died September 7th was held at the First Baptist Church, Cape Charles, Sunday September 13th with the Rev. Dr. Cook officiating, whose subject was "The Signs of Death." He preached a beautiful sermon, portraying the failure of certain parts of the body, warns us of approaching death, also stating that we must be certain because it must come, and uncertain because we know not when the summons shall come.
Two solos were sung by Mrs. Josephine Wimberly, one at the church entitled, "I Wonder What They Are, Doing In Heaven Today," the other entitled, "Som e Sweet Day," was sung at the grave while the body was being lowered in the vault to its last resting place. As she sang in the open, her beautiful harmonious voice rang out clear, mingling with the sound of the murmuring pines which stood sentinels in the lonesome little village grave of Mrs. White was a memorial of the order of the Rose of Sharon of the Tents, who had charge of the body. The handsome cushion casket which in design was the Gates Ajar, embedded in a bank of floral tributes of which was from the crew of the Steamer Pennsylvania, of which Mrs. Addie Keelinar is stewardess. T h o floral tributes were from Norfolk and other cities, from both white and colored friends. The funeral director was Mrs. H. L. Saunders, of Bay View, Va.
Among the many friends from Norfolk, were; Mesdames Mamie Wilson, Ethel Watson, Josephine Wimberly; Mr. Richard Fisher, of Portsmouth; Mrs. Addie Keeling Lambert's Point; W. Lafayette Smith and Mr. Thomas Hester, a brother of the deceased who arrived from Suffolk to pay his last respects to his denoted sister.
Mrs. White leaves one daughter a son, a brother, many relatives and a host of friends to mourn their loss. In the death of Mrs White, Cape Charles loses one of its oldest, and influential citizens.
NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
BIBLE STORY OF BARNABAS AND PAUL DEBATED
By WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR.
Resolved: "That Barnabas Was More Christlike Than Paul," was the subject of a debate, held at the St. Paul C. M. E. Church on Monday evening under the auspices of the above named church for benefit of the $5,000 rally to be staged October 1st. Good audience heard the debate. The question was thoroughly discussed and argued by both sides. Some very interesting points were presented by the contestants and at the end of the argument the judges awarded the decision to the negative.
Some of the interesting points offered by the affirmative side were: first, the affirmative defined "Christlike" as being loving, kind, sympathetic, meek and sacrificial, and endeavored to show that Barnabas possessed these qualities in that he forgave the child and gave him the chance the same as Christ would have done. Again, Barnabas was more Christlike than Paul because the latter persecuted the Christians, doing what he thought was right. The negative charged that Barnabas' life was wholly creditable, whereas that of Paul's was not and that Barnabas was Barnabas all of his life, while Paul changed from Saul to Paul. Barnabas again was Barnabas, then Paul because he introduced the latter into the missionary work instead of vice versa and to substantiate this point the negative quoted from the Scripture.
Negatives Present Their Side
Negatives Present Their Side
In an effort to thwart and disprove all that the opposing side had claimed, the negative credited Paul with causing the kane to walk and said, he was more priest like than Barnabas, because he had established that had not been established and kept in touch with them, whereas Barnabas went into fields that had already been established; and that Paul was very successful in keeping up the missionary work until the end, even after Barnabas had discontinued. Again, said the negative, Paul was more Christlike than Barnabas in that he not only lived a good life, but performed so me supernatural works, the same as Christ did himself and that he cast devils out of a certain woman, seller of purple whose name was Lydia and who was a sorcerer. The negative also argued that the possessed some of the things that he proof for this assertion offered this testimony; that, while in prison earthquake were brought about releasing prisoners thereby causing his own liberation. Again, Paul like Christian, pitted those who wronged him, even when he was about to be beheaded, he asked forgiveness of his persecutors. The negative said that Paul sacrificed all for Christ and he, like Christ, preached and practiced the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, so much so that he disgregated blood relations, race and creed, while on the other hand Barnabas was weaker in that he deviated from his work on account of the relationship that existed between Mark and himself. The defending side asserted that he was just misunderstood. Mark his second missionary tour because he had taken him along on the first one and the latter turned back, basing their contention on one of the teachings of Christ, that any man who put his hands to the plow and turns back was not worthy of the Kingdom, or words to that effect.
The negative wound up their talk with Paul's charge to Timothy: "For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Attys, W. W. Foreman and Wm. M. Thomas were the affirmative and Attys, D. H. Edwards and B. Jerome Barnes, the negative Attys, W. L. Davis served as master of ceremonies. The judges were: Messrs. D. C. Ackle, John Smith, Johnny Williams, Misses Smith and Williams.

Height of Political Career
He reached the height of his political career in 1920 at the Republican' National Convention when he was elected the Georgia member of the National Committee over the bitter opposition of the "Ilywhite" faction in the Rpublican party. His argument of the Georgia contest cases before the Republican National Committee, resulting in the seating in the convention of the delegation headed by himself was

perhaps the most brilliant effort of his career.
After the adjournment of the convention he created a national sensation when he testified before the Kenyon Senate Committee inquiring into the expenditure of pre-convention campaign funds. His testimony centered largely upon disfranchisement practices and the lynching of Negroes.
His First Attack
It was in July, 1920, when he had the first attack which weakened him physically. On the occasion of the notification of the late President Harding of his nomination as the Republican candidate, while en route to Marion, Ohio, he had an attack of high blood pressure. He fully recovered his health. The mental strain he underwent in his fight for membership on the Republican National Committee was the immediate cause of this breakdown.
In 1921 President Harding nominated him to be Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia, but the nomination was rejected by a Republican Senate upon the personal objections of the late Senator Tom Watson, Democrat, of Georgia. He was prominent as well as popular. At the time of his death he was the Grand Legal Adviser of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World. At the convention in Richmond, Va., August 23-28 last, he responded graciously to the welcome address of Governor Trinkle of Virginia. He was active in heeding the advice of the late Wilson the Grand Exalted Ruler. He was a Past Deputy Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows.
Resignation of Rev. R. L. Heck. B. Th., As Principal Of Franklin Normal And Industrial School Causes Stir Among The Baptist Forces And Friends of Late Mrs. D. I. Hayden, Founder of The School.
This sainted heroine's w o r k should not be hindered for it was with prayer and preparation that she laid well the foundation of this school, and established it upon principles that will ever live. She spent sleepless nights and untiring energies to educate these principles in her supporters; she gave liberally of her money and time and finally sacrificed her life for these principles. This alone should cause the Board of Trustees to be able readily to settle on the future of the school. Why should this board contend? Why do they not respect the wishes of this sainted woman who gave her life for this work, and the wishes of Mrs. Marriage Allen and her friends of England who gave their financial support to establish a school of this type in the town of Franklin, Va.
After coming to Franklin and viewing the limited educational advantages of the Negro boys and girls who pledged their support if she would make the sacrifice, Mrs. D. I. Hayden saw the need of an institution of higher learning for the Negro boys and girls in that section of Virginia, and thus the financial support offered by the Baptist forces of South Side, Va., and their friends, she established and built up this institution. This institution is worth $15,000.00 and such an edifice is a reflection of credit upon her and those who have labored with her (why should the Board of Trustees turn from the principles of the school when they were the choice of the sainted woman for their offices). Her belief was that they were true disciples and would strive to make other disciples for the cause for which she lived and died. She believed that this board would execute her wishes to the letter. Then, why the delay in determining the future of Franklin Normal and Industrial School is not because of the financial burden on the trustees. Mrs. Hayden paid off the mortgage before she died and to-day there stands this monument of progress worth $15,000, given to the race by this sainted woman through her ceaseless labors. Personally, I have made this investigation, and find the property absolutely clear of encumbrances. Investigations further show that the delay is due to the efforts of the Franklin school board to get possession of the property of the Franklin Normal and

BALTIMORE MAN
CALLED TO PASTOR
SHILOH BAPTIST
Rev. V. V. K. Stokes, of Baltimore, Md., was unanimously elected pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church in a meeting of the officers and members of the church Monday night.
Shiloh Baptist Church has been without a pastor since the retirement of Rev. F. W. Black from that charge nearly a year ago. Rev. Black was the successor of Rev. J. H. Ashby, who pastored Shiloh for nearly 14 years, resigning to take a charge in Asbury Park. N. J.
the congregation has been quite impressed with Rev. Stokes for quite some time. On last Sunday he preached two able sermons to large congregations at that church and his influence has been otherwise felt in the church activities. The activities of this church were in full swing last Sunday. The moting prayer meeting was good. The Sunday school attendance was of the best. The officers of the school presented Supt. R. B. Jones, a medal. Mr. Jones has completed his eight year service in this capacity and he heightened at the children's level at 11:20, Rev. V. V. K, Stokes, of Baltimore, Md., preached an eloquent sermon. He administered communion at 3:30 o'clock B. Y. P. U. met at 6:30 p. m., and the tots seemed to have made a good showing in leading the meeting. Rev. Stokes preached again at night, and the male choir sang some of its best selections.
Industrial school from its trustees. Such an act would be selling out the accomplishments of Mrs. Hayden. If the trustees attempted such a thing they would be playing the part of Judas, an act they would not have committed during her life. The work and life of Mrs. D. I. Hayden shows that she stood for the principles of erecting and directing a school that would teach Negro boys and girls from the Negro's point of view of education. In doing this she was never antagonistic to the public schools of the Systema County. She worked in harmony to build stronger the work of the public schools in order that the boys and girls might get the best there was to be had. But in return the school boards of Franklin and Southampton county did not give the same kind of support and interest. Though struggling to build high the standard of the Negro boy and girl that they might share with the white boy and girl the advantages of high school training in preparation for the higher walks of life, she received but little encouragement from either board. nor did they lend any assistance to make the most modest steps. She mistrusted almost alone, she was the first school teacher of any note in Franklin for colored schools. Reared as an honored citizen from her childhood, she owned tax from her property and was a tax payer in the town of Franklin. She was always ready to offer her services in putting over any education program in her town or county. Yet when she was run down in the streets of Franklin by an automobile, she was given no more consideration than had she been a beast. Why didn't the school board see to it that justice was given her as a prominent educator. She was taken into the hospital, she was taken to the coroner's jury. Her last remains received no respect from the school board. They sent not even condolence to be read at her funeral. We can read between the lines and see the hypocrisy in the school board of Franklin.
The school board of Franklin asked the property be turned over to them without the least financial return to the trustees. The Baptist forces of South Slide are not willing to submit to any suicides. The school has been built upon the money given by Mrs. Hayden and her friends, by pastors, churches, Sunday schools, missionary cir-
icles, unions, and individual Negro organizations. The school has lived on the public, and the trustees should consequently heed public sentiment against the transferring of the school to a white school board.
Rev. Heck showed in his resignation statement that during his short regime the sum of $3,003.00 has been given by the people, and a balance in the treasury of $125. This makes plain the support given by the people, and such support deserves a voice in the destiny of the institution. Rev. R. L. Heck has the esteem of the public and believes that with their support he can make the institution go. He has earned their faith because he stands for and upholds the principles exemplified in Mrs. Hayden's life. She outlined these principles before the congregations of the South Side churches and they are willing to support Heck, so are the strong men such as the moderator of Bethany Baptist Association, Dr. Shands and all his boards and auxiliaries; the moderator of the Sharon Baptist Association, Dr. Johnson, his boards and auxiliaries.
We are calling on the trustee board of Franklin Normal and Industrial Institute to hear the voice of the people.
Investigation shows that there are five on the trustee board who object to the proposed transfer and maintain that it should continue as a monument to Mrs. D. I. Hayden, namely; Dr. W. R. Ashburn, Emporia, Va.; Dr. L. Aleand, N. M. Alcorn, Dr. M. C. Franklin, Va.; Mr. N. L. Rodgers, Branchville, Va.; Mr. H. B. Bess, Branchville, Va., and the Principal, Dr. R. L. Heck, Franklin,
The town in which the school was built has been stirred with indignation over the thought of any change. Let us have a mass meeting, let the church, the Sunday schools, B. Y. P. U.'s missionary circles, and other organizations that are concerned in the matter send representatives to the meeting and hear the voice of the people so that they may maintain this school in honor of its founder and as a monument to her who died a heroine to the cause of education. I shall welcome any communication from any who are interested

The growth of the Girl Reserve Movement in Norfolk is made decidedly evident, in the most recent membership report which showed a total of 384 registered serves meeting the Girls' Reserve Center Church street, in representing groups from Washington High, Dunbar, Armstrong, Price, Smallwood, Lincoln, and Lott Cave Grammar Schools. The program sent by the headquarters in New York is adhered to by the Girl Reserves, as they aim to develop the girl along more physical, physical, and visual lines, them to put into practice at home, in school, in church, and in community the standards of upright Christian living.
As one entered upon the spacious grounds of Kittrell College, the meeting place of the conference, the immediate reaction from such unique surroundings was the spirit of life, felt like saying, "How I shall really live." This was the feeling that besieged theategates, and thus the keyword of the conference became "Real living." Spiritual guidance was especially provided for thru religious discussion groups which were conducted for an hour each day under the leadership of trained women. Here such vital questions as dress, music, recreation, nature, education, friendship and money were discussed in relation to living and attitudes. Spiritual development was stressed thru the Morning Assembly which was conducted by Mrs. Cordella Winn, of the National Y. W. C. A. board whose presentation of the biographies of worthy women provided much spiritual inspiration. B-

It has been our sincere aim to inform the public of the noteworthy deeds of the Phyllis Wheatley Branch Young Women's Christian Association, and to give someitative estimate of the unheeded progress that the association has made during its existence. The service of the Girl Reserve has been and is the guiding star for the younger set of today. The "Y" is a Godsend to the women of the world; it has made living conditions in Nofolk a great deal more like what we should have them. It must live on.
PARDON FOR MAN IS DELIVERED IN COURT
Because the State needed his testimony as a witness in an important case, and in order to testify, he had to be restored to citizenship, Jesse Roose, serving a term in the penitentiary at Columbia, S.C., was pardoned by Governor McLeod of that State last week. Roose was brought to the court to testify without knowing the Solicitor had at first pposed for him a pardon. He called to the stand the following dialogue passed between him and one of the attorneys in the case: "Did you know that you had a pardon?" The man shook his head. He did not seem to catch the significance of the question. "No sub," he returned, looking around the Richland county court

RUSSIAN WRITER DESPERATE Within the past few years, under the Soviet Regime, it is estimated that 300 Russian writers and poets of some considerable claim to notice, have committed suicide due to the economic hardships which have been their lot. Censors have had much to do in suppressing their work and cutting off their livelihood, it is said. A society of Russian writers has submitted a call to the Soviet government calling attention to fact that such a condition will ultimately react against the Russian literature.

EDITOR'S NOTE: "Ne gro History in the School Curriculum" is a monograph which h covers the substance of an address delivered before the Teachers' Institute of the 10th-13th Division and Allied High and Normal Schools of Washington, D. C. January 14, 2012 Dr. Charles Vesey of History of History of Howard University. The sceech or the monograph is regarded by leading educators as a very able treatise of a subject, which of late, has increasingly engaged the attention of pedagogists, and invited the interest of students. The monograph is being published serially in these collections below is the third installment, which deals with "The Negro In America."
The Negro in America
In the second place, the contributions of Colored Americans to American History have found no place in the average school text and comparatively small space, time or comment in the school curriculum. But the growth of the institution of slavery with a description of the Slave Trade as it affected America may be found. The Negro is studied as a Slave, but not as

a Laborer, Soldier, American Citizen and Achiever of worthy results. Other nations have been slaves, in ancient and medieval times, and how easily the world has forgotten. The Negro Americans of color who took part in the era of explorations are granted no part in this period. Scholarly historians are not continuously overlooking this matter. Professor Edward Channing of Harvard, in his History of the United States, Volume I, gives an example of this type; but as I have told him on several occasions he has not touched the surface of these facts. Negroes proved of value to the Spanish as guides, companions and slaves in the Southwestern part of the United States.
Contribution of Soldiers
The contributions of the Colord Soldiers of the Revolution should not be neglected. From the Boston Massacre to the Surrender of Cornwallis, there are many incidents which deserve admittance in the presentation of our national development. These, with the patriotism of the War of 1812, at New Orleans with Jackson and on the Lakes with Perry, show that even when

beaten with the lash or cowed by threat, the Negro-Americans displayed traits of bravery comparable to the deeds of soldiery unhampered by chains of slavery and ignorance.
The individual Colored Americans who made efforts to contribute to American life should be noted; Phyllis Wheatley, the writer, who made no special innovation or contribution in American literature, but who demonstrated that even in the eighteenth century Colored Americans could have the possibilities of literary attainments, as well as manual labor; Benjamin Banneker, who at an early period in American history made a clock and published one of the first almanacs in America and who served with the Commission which surveyed and laid out the lins of the District of Columbia; Grispus Attucks, who was a martyr to the cause of American freedom and whose monument stands today upon the Boston Commons; and numbers of others who blazed the path of freedom for themselves and waited not for freedom as a gift from others; Frederick Douglass, the orator and statesman; Har
EUREKA LODGE OF ELKS IN A 1,000 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
What is planned as the greatest membership campaign for a trafical organization in the history of the city is announced in these pages by the Eureka No. 5, I. B. P. O. E. of W., to be officially launched Tuesday, September 22. The Eureka Lodge of Elks are the owners of the commodious home at 440 East Brambleton avenue, the only fraternal home offering club facilities for colored people in the city. The campaign will be auspiciously launched with a n grand street parade, ending with a mamoth ball at Phyllis Wheatley Garden at night, and will run until November 30, followed by a great initiation and supper that night and a Hello Bill" night and ball at the Phyllis Wheatley Garden, Tuesday, December 1. The campaign slogan is "Cleveland in 1920" with entirely new uniforms. The Eureka kars are planned in motion at this early date plans for carrying 2000 members to the next Grand Lodge, with each member arrayed in a dashing uniform.
Divided Into Companies
The lodge has been divided into companies A, B, C, D, and E, with 250 men in each company. Each man is pledged to get at least four new members. The companies are captained as follows: Co. A, Louis N. White, captain; Co. B, McKinney, captain; Co. C, Alvin, Dagner, captain; Co. D, William Johnson, No. 1 captain; Co. E, Johnson, No. 1. Newsome, captain.
Prizes will be awarded the Company making the highest number of members on the night of December 1, the grand "Hello Bill" night.
At the Elks Home, the headquarters of the campaign, each captain is expected to report daily. The score for his company will be checked on a large chart, fac-simile of which is printed in the Elks announcement on Page Eleven. The converging lines on that diagram point to the goal. As each company advances its progress will be marked off on its respective line on the diagram as drawn on a large bulletin board in the Elks Home. This method of keeping scores promises to foster keen rivalry between the competing companies. Already much enthusiasm is in evidence over the campaign around the headquarters, some members being quietly laying off districts even before the drive is officially launched, and getting results.

Jerry O. Gilliam, the Excalled

years would sort of farfetched, replied that he certainly
did not stated that he felt assured that the drive would prove
a big success. He pointed out
what he characterized as the wonderful advantages of being an Elk
and said he felt that when this
was properly emphasized to red-blooded young men of the city, the canvassers would experience no trouble in bringing 'em in Mr.
King's army. In these there are hundreds of young men in Norfolk who have been waiting for just such an opportunity as is now presented to align themselves with the Eureka Lodge of Elks.

National Baptists, Incorporated Send Resolution to Pres. Coolidge Endorsing Race Soldier Memorial
Copy Also Goes To Secretary Of War And Sen. Fess
The National Baptist Convention, incorporated, has made public a resolution adopted at its annual meeting in Baltimore, September 9, and sent to President Coolidge, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, and Senator Simeon D. Fess, endorsing the efforts of the National Memorial Association, which has for its object the erection of a National Memorial Building in commemoration of the heroic deeds of Negro soldiers and sailors who have served in all the wars of the republic.
A copy of the resolution as made public reads:
"GREETINGS:
"We respectfully wish to add our endorsement, and do heartily concur with the National Memorial Association, which has for its object the erection of a National Memorial Building in commemoration of the Heroic Deeds of Negro Soldiers and Sailors, who have served in all the wars of our great Republic.
"Whereas a bill known as House Joint Resolution 245, he has been offered in the House of Representatives of the United States, April 16, 1924, by Representative William R. Mood, of Indiana, requesting the Government to create a commission, to be known as the 'National Memorial Commission', to procure and determine upon a location, plans and designs for and to erect a national/memorial in the city of Washington, D. C., (where it would reflect the greatest possible good throughout the country) to the memory of Negro soldiers and soldiers who fought in the wars of our country and the late Wqid Wek, we feel that such a recognition as proposed by the said bill is a fit tribute to Negro soldiery for the admirable loyalty, devotion, fortitude and bravery he has displayed in all the wars of the Republic---and even before we could boast of the fair name Republic.
His Loyalty Unquestioned
"In every hour of the Nation's peril, the Negro, whether slave or freeman, has been loyal to the flag and Republic From the Boston Commons to the Argonne Forest he has made a record of bravery, loyalty and patriotism that has won for him the admiration of the world. The erection by the Federal Government of a memorial to the memory of our heroic dead would be an inspiration to generations of Negroes yet unborn. No one would be more proud of the safety and perpetuity of the Government ever had greater possibilities.
"Whenever our country's welfare has been in Jeopardy, and a call for men, either to win her independence, to defend her honor, or to preserve her as an inseparable union was issued, the Negro has always been among the first to respond. The records show that over 3,000 colored soldiers and sailors fought in the Revolutionary War; 3,000 in the War of 1789, 1787 in the Civil War, 1617 in Spanish-American War, and 400,000 under arms during the period of the great World War. There was never a conscientious objector; there were no conspirators against the Nation; none were convicted under the espionage law; they were all 100 per cent Americans.
"All these acts of courage plead in eloquence for justice for the martyrned who gave their all for God and country.
"His deeds of valor and sacrifice for the honor of the Nation and perpetuity of the Union have been told in song and story. But no monument of marble or bronze has been erected by the Nation now the race with which he is identifiable be the by the generation generations and roused in them veneration and pride for their heroic ancestry.
Our Tribute
"We feel that it is a tribute we owe and an honor to our Race to lay the foundation of our moral and financial support in the erection of a great memorial building not only to our dead and living heroes, but a great education temple containing a national hall of fame, art and music rooms, library and reading rooms, auditorium, and gymnasium. We feel, we feel, will be a lasting inspiration to the youth of the Negro Race and will encourage them in devotion and love of country.
"Therefore, the NATION BAPTIST CONVENTION, Inc., in annual session assembled, in the city of Baltimore, Md, September 9th to 14th, 1925, representing a membership of 3,253,733 comprising every State in the Union, do approve and endorse the work of the NATIONAL MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION, and to that end we pledge our united support for the success of this movement, and respectfully petition a favorable consideration and passage of House Joint Resolution 245 by the 69th Congress of the United States, and earnestly pray your favorable endorsement, that our Race may behold with pride a suitable shrine erected by a grateful people and Nation."

EVOLUTION RAPPED BY BAPTISTS IN ANNUAL MEETING
Five Thousand March In Parade In Baltimore, Singing Spirituals Before Opening
(By Associated Negro Press)
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 16.—A11 the general officers of the National Baptist Convention, Icc, the Rev. L. K. Williams, president, were re-elected at the session held here this week. The convention adopted resolutions against the Ku Klux Klan and Evolution, this latter stand shocking some of the visitors to the convention and inspiring sarcastic criticism from some lay delegates.
Among the prominent persons who addressed the convention were C. C. Spaulding, of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; William H. Harrison, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School, the Rev. R. L. Brady, Detroit, and Robert S. Abbott, publisher of "The Chicago Defender." The institution endorsed the World Court, New East Relief, a Memorial to Negro Soldiers, and ministerial insurance. It raised ten thousand dollars in general funds, sixty-nine thousand dollars for foreign missions, fifty-seven five hundred and eight dollars for B. Y. P. U. work. The seven hundred and fifty thousand dollar publishing house in Nashville was reported completely finished.
There were five thousand delegates and the average attendance was ten thousand. Vice Mayor Howard Bryant and Gov. Albert Ritchie welcomed the churchmen to the city. The woman's auxiliary sessions were held at Metropolitan church. They endorse the program for ex-convict education at the School and held a pageant Wednesday night. All officers were re-collected.
Record-Breaking Attendance
On the day before the opening of the great convention, there was a demonstration, in which 4,000 persons participated. This was in the form of a parade through the downtown street. An added feature of this demonstration was the singing of Negro spirituals by the large number of those participating. The singing continued throughout the entire day, and at night the army was filed to overflowing. Such spirituals as "Ive Been 'Buked'," "Way Beyond the Moon," "Over Yonder," "Good News, the Charit's Coming," and "When the Saints Go Marchin' In" found ready response from those in the great crowd.
Not only were the spirituals sung at this gathering, but there was a musical program rendered by a mixed chorus of 400 voices, the singers having been selected from the leading choirs of the denomination. These were under the direction of Edward Boatner, of Boston, Mass. One of the officials of the convention is reported as having told the singers that "the angels in Heaven were getting a furlough" while the mixed chorus was holding forth in Baltimore. Tremendous Throng Arrives Each train brought hundreds of deacons, many being from foreign states. Many in the single file at fifteen foot intervals the life-size stretch around the world and there still would be a reserve force of more than 3,000 to run the arrands for the Lord, so said one of the leaders.
Work Detailed
Work Detailed
After the singers took a rest, the work of the Baptist Church was given in detail. The speaker made the boast that the Baptist Church is the oldest in point of service, dating its birth according to one speaker; from an era ante-dating creation, "before days and nights were young and foolish." The church claims a membership of approximately 4,000,000, and this does not include the returns "from the last baptizing."
Haptists Would Outstep Klan
"We can outstep the Klan," it was stated, making reference to the recent demonstration in Washington. "If the colored people ever step out in Washington, you'll think here are no white people in the country, but we are the remains of the Rev. W. H. Moses of York, who closed his talk by saying, "We are not in the least disturbed by evolution. We are neither fundamentalists nor modernists. The Book will do for us." Others to speak were the great orator, the Rev. Dr. Bushell, of New York, who dwelt quite lengthily on the question of slavery. He excited laughter when he said that the problem of color would not be settled by sending the black man to Africa, adding that if you get a job in the other ship load would he born before breakfast tomorrow morning. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, one of the outstanding women in the denomination, who heads the Training School for Women in Washington, was in her usual vain. The Rev. Junius Gray, of Baltimore, presided.

Record-Breaking Celebration Of Decade of Negro Historical Research Held In Washington
Association For Study Of Negro History Wants $200,000 Endowment
Wonderful enthusiasm marked the celebration of the Tenth Anniversary of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in Washington, D. C., on the 9th and 10th. Negro editors, business educators and ministers attended in large numbers to show their appreciation for the work done under the direction of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, and to join ranks of those determined to give the work that support which it must have to treat the records of the Negro scientifically. Plans were formulated to carry forward the present program and, in addition, to make a study of the economic condition of the Negro. A committee was appointed to raise an endowment of $200,000 for the Association. The meeting was one of the most important ever held in the history of the race.
The very first session set a high mark of interest which the remaining ones had difficulty in reaching. Prof. John R. Hawkins in calling the meeting to order carefully reviewed the work of the last ten years, paying high tribute to D. Carter G. Woodson, the founder and to those who have stood by him and are still working efficiently. He then presented Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, who directed attention to Africa as an inviting field so long neglected by students of archaeology and anthropology. Then appeared Dr. Jas. H. Dillard, who gave his experience of a recent trip made in Africa from Port Said to Cape Town Dr. Dillard spoke in a popular vein and deeply interested his heart in paying such high tribute to the physical, moral and spiritual needs of the people. Mrs. R. Givens, of Louisville, and Mr. W. O. Hart, of Louisiana Historical Society, took part in the general discussion.
After the annual business session in the afternoon at which the present corps of officers reported on their work and were unanimously re-elected, the Association devoted a session to a discussion of the Negro of today. This discussion centered around papers on typical conditions of life in the Negro community of Baltimore and Pittsburgh by Mr. R. Maurice Moss and Mr. Abram L. Harris and around address of M. E. T. Atwell, on recreation facilities for Negroes in cities. Mr. Harris was absent, his paper was read by Mr. J. W. Scott, of Huntington, W. Va. There we present many prominent social workers and teachers of sociology, who freely participated in the discussion. Among those were Mrs. Laura R. Gleam, of Washington, and Prof. G. B. Hancock, of Union University.
The Association then heard of the conditions with respect to education from representative men of the country. Among others Mr. R. S. Grossley, representing the Department of Education of Delaware, Dr. G. E. Davis representing the Department of Education of West Virginia, Don S. H. Archer representing Morchouse College and President J. L. Peacock, of Shaw University, representing the plans and purposes of the unified New York State in their respective States that the present undesirable conditions of the rare may no longer obtain.
The first evening session was a rare occasion. Two of the most distinguished scholars of the country discussed the history of the Negro before the Civil War, Prof William T. Laprade, of Duke University, delivered a most illuminating discourse on the Negroes in the District of Columbia prior to 1862. Speaking to an intelligent audience of many of the descendants of those very Negroes, the speaker easily interested his audience in his logical array of facts interpretative of the initiative and development of the antebellum free Negroes in the District of Bin. Then came Dr. H. Wesley, of the University who accustomed himself with honor in the masterly fashion in which he showed how unwise the South before the Civil War tried to develop
Famous Yankee brig Enterprise was lost by going ashore on the Little Curocca.
industrialism along with slavery, Dr. Wesley's accurate knowledge of the aonomic aspects of the history of the South favorably impressed his hearers and aroused further interest in this neglected aspect of Negro History. One of the most interesting sessions was that of the morning of the tenth devoted to the Negro in business. The aim here was to emphasize the importance of making a survey of the Negro in the economic world. Preliminary remarks were made by Mr. John Pinkett, William G. Pearson, president of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, of Durham, North Carolina, then delivered an elaborate address showing with the Negro business man how he Falls. This discussion had been worked out with and restraint and was delivered in a convincing manner. The speaker treated the subject from two points of view, that of the business man himself and that of the community with which he has to deal.
Mr. W, Gomez, secretary-manager of the firm of which Mr. W, G. Pearson heads, then delivered an address further emphasizing the necessity for this survey and suggesting the way and means for carrying out this important program. His address was delivered with unusual force, characteristic of the earnestness which is all but peculiar to this successful business man. He was more concerned however, with finding the means than with discussing the necessity for the effort, for in the very beginning he easily convinced the audience as to the necessity for this work.
These addresses evoked further discussion in which participated Mr. C. T. Taylor of the Federal Life Insurance Company, of Washington, Prof. Kelly Miller, of the same city, Mr. C. E. Mitchell, of the Mutual Savings and Loan Company of Columbus, Ohio, the genesis of Franklin Illuminated the question by extending the discussion and warmly endorsed the plan. Out of this effort came a motion to the effect that the survey be authorized and that the committee be appointed to decide upon the modus operandi. The Nigro's pro J. J. its share of attention at the afternoon session of the second day. It was represented by Robert S. Abbott, editor and publisher of The Philadelphia L. Vann, of the Pittsburgh Courier, E. Washington Rhodes, of the Philadelphia Tribune and J. A. Jackson, of the Washington Tribune.
The second evening session, the last of the celebration, was devoted to consideration of the Negro Church. Rev. Wm. L. Imes, of New York City, began the program with an eloquent and instructive address on the American pulpit and the Negro. The discus-tion se showed evidence of preparation and mature thought, well received and loudly弘扬. Bishop L. W. Kyles, of the A. M. E. Zion Church then delivered a scholarly address on the Negro's contribution to the religious life of America.
At the close of this session Bishop John Hurst, the presiding officer, made an appeal in behalf of the Association, emphasizing the many sacrifices made by the Director during the early years when he was compelled to make up the deficits of the Association himself. This report a number of members lead by Dr. George E. Haynes spruced up the difficulty this appeal and to urge that something definite by done to secure permanent support of the Association. After much discussion there was raised in pledges and money about $1,000, and there was authorized the appointment of a committee to secure for Association an endowment of at least $200,000. Among the pledges received was $100 from Bishop L. W. Kyles, $100 from Bishop R. A. Carter, $100 from Bishop John Hurst, $70 from Edward Waters College, $50 from Mr. R. S. Abbott, $40 from R. S. Abbott, and $25 from the West Virginia Parent-Teacher Association, Mrs. Ida Gibbs Hunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Miss Laving Black and Mr. William T. Ferguson became life members paying $5,000 each.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
FORMERUNIVERSITY HEAD THINKS RACE SHOULD STAY SOUTH
Prof. W. S. Scarborough Believes Negro Gains Little By Shifting Burdens to Unknown Sections.
"The more I visit the congested parts of cities like Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York the more I am convinced that the best place for the average Negro if he is a farmer and if he is in any degree successful as such, is in the farming districts of the South" writes W. S. Scarborough former president of Wilberforce University in "Current History Margazine." "There he should remain and work on his destiny; he gains little by shifting the problem from the section where he is known to a section where he is unknown, and where, as a rule, he will not find the sympathy and cooperation necessary for a successful future.
"Then, too, the presence of large numbers of Negroes in the cities serves only to render more complex the problems of housing, of health, of education and of government; the resulting congestion also renders vice and crime more prevalent. It is a well-known fact that wherever Negro people gather in large, racial groups, prejudice intensified and the so-called "mixed" group is more difficult and is longer defended. "Further, segregation seems to be the inevitable out-cause of Negro migration northward, and the situation grows more acute with increasing numbers. On the other hand, it must be admitted that the Negro in the North has the ballot, fedom of speech, opportunities and privileges, educational advantages and the protection of the law, all of which advantages he does not have in our southern states, and the quietness value in the Negra's mind they counterbalance all else.
"I am well aware of its burdens and straggles on southern soil and those handicaps arising from northern prejudice; but in spite of all this, and undesirable as it seems to be, I believe that the Negro can and will make a future for himself even among those of the Southland who seem now hostile to his progress."
City. We hope for them an abundance of success in their future undertakings. "The Tom Thumb Wedding given last Monday night by Mrs. A. L. Lawrence was very good and much enjoyed.

Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio did the race a real good turn in his address in Columbus at the dedication of the Supreme Life Insurance Company building, when he advised it to "get money not for the sake of money alone but because of the power and prestige it gives." The race learns but slowly the fact that money is the supreme power in our civilization, but it is learning the lesson.
An Extraordinary Need
If the recommendation of City Manager Truxtun is carried out Council will make no appropriations for public improvements during the ensuing fiscal year except for extraordinary and emergency needs. Taxpayers are backing the City Manager in his determination to prevent any further increase in the tax rate by holding down expenditures. The task confronting Major Truxtun is to define clearly the extraordinary and emergency needs and distinguish them from the ordinary run of drafts on the city treasury.
There are many sections of the city which have been surfeited with certain kinds of public improvements,—parks, for instance, while there are other sections entirely devoid of such improvements. Open air spaces are necessary for the promotion of the public health. Of the twenty-one public parks in Norfolk not one is accessible to a colored residential section. Mayor Taylor expressed himself recently as being in favor of the establishment of a park in the colored residential section. In retiring from office former City Manager Causoy recommended such an improvement. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE believes that a majority of the thoughtful citizens of Norfolk feel that an adequate park and recreational center located in territory accessible to the colored population comes within the scope of extraordinary needs.

A Study in News Values
The late Dr. Booker T. Washington used to relate how upon one occasion when he made one of the most important addresses of his career to one of the largest audiences he ever appeared before in a Southern city he looked in vain through the pages of the local morning paper for some mention of his meeting, only to find it written up in six lines at the bottom of the last column of the last page under a six point caption. On the front page of the same morning paper, there was a half column story, under bold, double-column headlines, describing how a Negro sneak-thief had snatched a lady's pocket-book.
The biggest piece of news relating to colored Americans that "broke" last week was the death of Henry Lincoln Johnson at Washington. The Associated Press sent it out. One of our Norfolk dailies carried it in a few lines under the exact caption printed below:
LINK JOHNSON DIES
On the day previous this same splendid daily paper of ours carried another bit of Negro news in a conspicuous place under the exact caption reproduced below:
Colored'Alleged Burglar Arrested At Snyder Store
Colored'Alleged Burglar Arrested At Snyder Store
Notice the contrast. It all reminds one of the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, which carries a column of news relating the worthwhile achievements and activities of Macon colored people, but carries a notice to the effect that none of these papers which contain these reports are sent to white homes. The same paper, on the other hand, prints on all of its pages every day crime news made by the Negro and sends it into white homes. That is another phase of Southern psychology which Negroes do not comprehend.
Editorial Page of
Henry Lincoln Johnson
It came as a distinct shock to the Afro-American people Thursday of last week to learn that Henry Lincoln Johnson had died at his home in Washington, at noon, of apoplexy, in the fifty-fifth year of his age. Mr. Johnson had not been a well man for a number of years, and those who knew him were not surprised to learn that he had fallen by the wayside, fighting to the last and with "his honors thick upon him." There was but a brief space between the attack and the death.
Mr. Johnson was a natural politician. He took to the game as naturally as ducks take to water. Thoroughly grounded in the higher education and the law, he possessed the natural eloquence and wit that give an orator such a strong hold on the imagination and create for him a following all his own. This fact was made prominent quite recently when William Jennings Bryan died after having triumphed as an orator with his own following for more than a quarter of a century.
The magnetism of oratory has in some sort survived the witchery of poetry, although the orator and the poet are both passing out as dominating influences in the life of mankind. They have their charm, and will long have it, of course, but the peculiar power that once signalized them as the chief vehicles of the mystics and the philosophers, has been minimized by the incoming of new voices and new agencies of conception and spreading abroad of the thoughts that govern in the affairs of men.
Mr. Johnson, as an orator, possessed much of this peculiar power. If he had been called to be a member of the National Congress for Georgia he would have exercised great power and influence in the Nation.
The law firm of Pledger, Johnson and Malone, with headquarters at Atlanta, became as famous as the law firm of Elliott, Straker, Dunbar and Stewart, with headquarters at Columbia, in South Carolina, in the Reconstruction period and for some time after 1876, when the Reconstruction governments were overthrown. Pledger furnished the politics, Johnson the law, and Malone the drudge work of the firm, and it made politics a part of the business of the firm, and a very profitable part. Col. Pledger was, perhaps, the shrewdest politician the race has produced. Win or lose he was always on top in Georgia politics. It was under him that Mr. Johnson learned all about the political game which he played with so much skill when it came his turn to be boss.
In 1896 Mr. Johnson was elected a delegate at large to the National Republican Convention, and served in successive conventions until 1924, when he supported the Lowden instead of the Coolidge faction in the Cleveland convention. He served four years as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia under President Taft, from 1912 to 1916, but the Senate failed to confirm him for the same office when nominated to it by President Harding.
The most notable political victory won by Mr. Johnson came in the Harding Administration when C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia undertook to deprive him of his standing as a National Committeeman and to Lily-whiteitize the Republican politics of Georgia and of the South. The President and Chairman Adams of the National Committee had endorsed the Slemp program, but Mr. Johnson fought them to a standstill in the Committee and whipped them out in Georgia, to whose Republicans he appealed, and not in vain, and retained his position as Committeeman, with the large privileges that go with it. Mr. Johnson did not know how to be whipped. When he was whipped he kept on fighting until he won.
By the wise foresight of Mr. Johnson he is succeeded by Mrs. George S. Williams of Savannah, a competent woman of the race, who is the first woman of the race to hold such a high and honorable position, as member of the National Committee.
Major Cox and His Race Problem Complex
In the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of September 5, we carried an editorial headed, "Is Liberia a Land of Promise?" We think we proved that it is not, as far as the Afro-American is concerned. At the conclusion of the editorial we had the following to say:
"We could do better but we are doing very well in this country, better than any of the race are doing in any other country, in Africa or out of Africa. We commend this view of the question to Messrs. John Powell and Earnest Sevier Cox, who are wasting much time on our business and neglecting their own business while so doing."
Major Earnest Sevier Cox, of the White America Society, takes exception to our conclusion, in a discursive article which we
Norfolk Journal and Guide
publish in another column of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE today. He wants to know if we really mean what we say, that he and Mr. Powell are neglecting their business in attending to ours. That is what we mean. He also wants to know if we "really mean that the white man has no right to discuss the issues involved in the dwelling together of the two races." Again: "Do you mean that the Negro is to settle the Negro problem and that the white man is to have no voice in the matter?" And Major Cox invites us to a discussion of the ethnological and biological phases of the problem which he makes and which we declare to be a personal matter with him and his sort, who go about attending to other people's business and neglecting their own. We hold that there is no lawful race and color problem in this country, and those who seek to make one are simply strife breeding busy bodies.
The Constitution of the United States obliterates the race and color problem from consideration as such in defining the citizenship of the United States—which includes the Negro, the Jew, the Catholic and the Foreign born on the very same terms that it does the 100 percenters, of whom Mr. Cox is one, who would prescribe requirements of citizenship for us not found in the philosophy of Jesus, as elaborated into a Constitution of the United States nor in the system by Paul, and to which Mr. Cox subscribes as a citizen and Christian. Now, we say there is no Negro problem, simply because the Constitution, in the 13th amendment, abolished slavery, in the 14th defined citizenship, and in the 15th clinches the question, as follows: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
That being the fundamental law of the Nation why should we admit that a private citizen has the right in law or equity to make a problem which denies my co-equality with him in all matters of citizenship, and would go so far as to create a public opinion that would sanction such legislation as the Racial Integrity Law of Virginia, which, we are told, as we are in the matter of all other race legislation, "works no hardship on us." We have no argument with a person who stands for that sort of thing. He invites our undying antagonism, and, logically, the issues of all antagonism, in the last analysis, have been strife and bloodshed. Who invites strife and bloodshed? He who would question and deny and abridge our Constitutional "privileges and immunities," which are identical with those he enjoys without any question at all on our part.
Mr. Cox has reduced his race problem to two alternatives. (1.) Forcible separation of the races. (2.) Amalgamation. They can't be separated by force, except by a Constitutional amendment, and a Constitutional amendment cannot be bad without going through the intricate processes prescribed in such cases, and if Congress should submit such an amendment to the people they would not vote to ratify it. That is our belief. As to amalgamation, that will take cure of itself, as it has been doing, the white races in America having gone so far in crossing their blood with that of the Black and Red races of America as to make complete separation of them, with color as the test, a physical impossibility.
Left to intermarry among themselves, but the whites refuse to leave them to themselves in the sexual relation, the Black and Red races in the Americas, and especially in the United States, have received so much white blood that, in the induration of the American type of color they will approximate to it naturally. There are some fifty-seven race groups in the United States, say, and most of them have some of the Black and Red blood crossing, which they fetched here with them from Europe in the Angle, Teuton, Gaelic and Celtic, Latin and Slav races, all of which will blend finally in the American race type and color. What that color will be we do not know, but it will not be white, any more than it is pure unmixed white now or ever was, since the flood of waters.
The JOURNAL AND GUIDE declines to discuss with Major Cox, "the biological issues of a race problem," and it has no preferred form of "solution." We do not favor race separation by forcible expatriation and we prefer to leave the mixing of the races to take care of itself, being a matter which we were not consulted about in the beginning and shall not be consulted about in the ending, or finality, of. The Almighty God of the Republic who purposed to make "a new people and a new nation," on this Continent will take care of the matter as He has been and is doing.
When we go outside of the Constitution and the Christian philosophy to make strife-breeding problems we are in bad if not traitorious business.

Queer Psychology
From the Savannah Triangle.
It is very difficult to fathom the psychology of the average white citizen whenever it comes to a question that affects the colored citizen. They clamor for every civic benefit possible for themselves and their children. No fault can be found in their doing so, if the act would be along consistent lines. While they are demanding every possible benefit for themselves, they are equally vehement against similar benefits being accorded the colored citizens. This is not true, of course, of all of them, because there are many Christian-hearted ones who feel that the colored citizens and their children should also enjoy civic benefits.
To a more or less extent, white children play in every square in the city, even though it is against the policy of the Park and Tree Commission. The same thing is being done in Dixon Park. This park is almost surrounded by colored residents; in fact ninety per cent of the residents are colored people, and most of them are property holders. The colored children at certain times, only play on the extreme southern side of this park fully two blocks away from the white homes. Just the sight of these small children playing in the park so riles some of the white

We don't predict the outcome of Mr. Cohen's indictment. We haven't the facts before us, except that no man was more bitterly fought for a place than he, and none has created more enemies in his section than Mr. Cohen, and knowing what we do about such prejudices, we are bound to feel that the matter is a frame-up, born of race prejudice, jealousy, race hatred.
We believe that it is a "frame-up," and if the circumstance under which Mr. Cohen was appointed and confirmed in the light of the opposition to him, were not apparent, knowing the man as we do, we could not and would not believe in his guilt until it was established beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of his peers. Mr. Cohen is too old, wise and careful to do so common a thing as to advise bootleggers of the whereabouts of government vessels with a view of assisting them in violating the national prohibition law.

residents, they generally call on the police to disperse them, claiming that they are annoying, even two blocks away. More recently the police have refrained from responding to their calls, thus causing them to make another attack. A few days ago they signed a protest against the park being used as a playground for colored children. This fell flat because there is no attempt to make it a playground, but they are using it simply as a ruse to secure public sentiment in preventing colored children using it as white children are using squares and parks in other sections of the city. Sometimes, and we hope at no distant time, the proper spirit of right and justice will pervade the soul of these and other white citizens and cause them to be more tolerant towards the colored people.
Mob Hysteria
Any criminal who can get a Negro near enough to the scene of, crime and prove clever enough to clear up his own tracks is to a degree safe. How many Negroes have suffered for crimes committed by whites we have no way of knowing. Occasionally, however, some narrow shave emphasizes the danger a man is in simply by being a Negro in America. A case emphasizing this came to the public notice in the kidnapping and murder of little

The result of the investigation of the indictment of Walter L. Cohen, Custom's Collector at New Orleans, for participation in the transportation of liquor comes as welcome, but not unexpected information. Those who know the facts of the fight which this colored man had to secure his position through two administrations might. have expected that his enemies in the South would not have rested until they "got him," guilty or innocent. Such is the well known method of the South. This is merely another method of lynching. Prejudice such as exists in the southern portions of our country knows no justice, knows no right. If a man has in him a drop of Negro blood, he is fair game for the mob. If he essays to exercise his rights as an American citizen, he is impudent and deserves either the lynchers rope or political death at the hands of mental murderers.
Cohen is to be congratulated and the world should again take note of the methods of blind, ignorant, devastating prejudice.
Mary Daly. The Negro whose car was used was shot by Harrison Noel in order that he might use his taxi rather than his mother's car.
"Race prejudice," says Walter White, "flamed into existence, and if Raymond Price, the Negro taxi driver had not been killed some hours before Noel, there was a possibility that he would have been killed by the mob." Mr. White further points out that this is the second case within a few months in the Metropolitan area in which Negroes have been made innocent victims of Moh Hysteria.
It is about time that the country so much concerned about the protection of foreigners in China and Mexico do something about Mob Hysteria at home. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Some day we are going to experience the sensation of a ton of brick falling upon our house and simply because of the evil of mob hysteria within that we show so little disposition to check and destroy.
Editor of Journal and Guide,
Dear Sir:-The amazing assumption in the editorial concerning Liberia in your issue of Sept. 5, prompts me to ask for space in your columns to inquire whether you actually do mean that the white man has no right to discuss the issues involved in the dwelling together of the races. You have said that John Powell and myself are wasting time on your business and neglecting our own business. Do you mean that the Negro is to settle the Negro problem and that the white man is to have no voice in the matter though the white man furnishes nine-tenths of the population of the nation?
I have read extraordinary statements from both black and whites but never one so amazing as this. In my opinion both races should have the utmost liberty in discussing the inescapable issues involved in the dwelling together of the races.
Why should the white man not have the right to determine whether the white race shall remain white? Why should the black man not have the right to determine whether the black race shall remain black? I concede the right of the black man in this matter and I object to a black man denying a similar right to men of my race. But all black men do not deny the right of the white man to discuss those issues which mean life or death to his race for some black men hope for a future of independence and progress for the
Negro peoples of the world.
There are but two poor outcomes to a race problem: our race problem or any race problem. A race problem will eventually be solved by separation of the races or amalgamation of the races; cause I am a white man; I no right to discuss these issues. They are practically all the do discuss. My book "Whitmerica" recently reviewed your columns abounds with mentions and restatements of unavoidable issues, though reviewer was silent concern them. My book "Let My Go," is based wholly upon elemental truths. But the cecenationist press never tions them. It is because miscegenationist press is it. It knows that it has met its iter. The miscegenationist whines and snarls, sometimes snaps, at some phase of the problem. It discusses economic politics, or some aspect of color-line, but it never snips teeth in the elemental use of a race problem. The miscegenationist press never tells readers that race problems are on to solution and that there but two forms the solution take. It never tells its real that if two races dwell together eventually both races will perch but if two races separate they may be saved.
Pompous in the present the phases of a race prosecute the miscegenationist preret whether white or black, is ardly in the presence of the nature of a race problem. The why I know they are licked, reed only to press the nature of a race problem. Multitude black men as well as multitude of white men wish to presi their race. These men or discuss the nature of a race problem. They wish for their to have an independent nature its own and a future where its descendants may work out a racial destiny.
I cannot assume that least Liberia has not been a conscious success that it will never be a conspicuous success. I believe that your editorial does not justice to your people. I am Ham Lincoln when attempting assemble Negroes to start an dependent nation for Negro complained that while the African Negro secured his free through the blood and sacrifice of white then he cannot get Negroes to come for to sacrifice for their own life.

he is the type of manhood w
Lincoln sought. Other lea

I would be pleased great have the JOURNAL AND GUESS the biological issues of race problem and openly what form of solution it put. Some short-sighted individual state that they do not wish solution of the race problem, they wish the problem to go forever. But of course a problem will eventually be solved by one or the other the two possible forms a tion may take. Briefly, does paper favor the separation of races or the mixing of the race Does it hope that the N. problem will go on forever not, what form of solution? Respectfully,
