WOULD REMOVE REVENGE SPIRIT IN EXECUTIONS WOULD REMOVE REVENGE SPIRIT IN EXECUTIONS North Carolina Governor Bars Relatives of Injured Parties From Death Chamber of Condemned In The Future. Members of the families of injured parties will no longer be permitted to witness electrocutions of the party injuring at the penitentiary in Raleigh, N. C., as a source of personal satisfaction for a wrong committed, if the request of Governor McLean on Dr. J. H. Norman, warden of the prison, is acceded to, according to statements appearing in the public press this week. On numerous occasions relatives of persons wronged have asked and been granted permission to witness the execution of the parties condemned to die for these wrongs. Assistant Attorney General Nash and the Governor are of the opinion that such a practice constitutes a disgrace upon the State and the Governor wants it, abolished. Governor's Statement "The execution of a criminal is a most solemn thing in the administration of the law," the Governor declared, "representing the sovereignty of the people, and there should be nothing about an execution to indicate revenge. An execution ought not to be permitted to be looked on as an act of personal satisfaction for a wrong." When William C. Stewart and his son, Elmer, two white men were to be executed some months ago for the murder of two prohibition officers, relatives of the dead officers desired to witness the electrocutions. Mr. Nash ruled that they did not come within the law of privileged persons and protested that for relatives of the injured to be allowed to witness the execution was a disgrace upon the Commonwealth. Previous to that time legal witnesses of an electrocution were startled to see a young white woman whom a colored man was alleged to have criminally assaulted, enter the death-house and look upon his execution. The matter again was brought to the attention of the Governor when last week the husband of an assaulted woman watched the electrocution of a Moore county colored man condemned for the crime. Among Mexicans the proportion of bridegrooms who take brides older than themselves is said to be larger than among any other people. Sunflowers make excellent silage and they will often grow where corn will not. POLICE MAKE RAID IN THE VICE CRUSADE POLICE MAKE RAID IN THE VICE CRUSADE Five Arrested In Area Complained Of By Citizens; Women Offenders Draw Heavy Fines in Police Court COOPERATION PROMISED BY DIRECTOR EFFECTIVE The vice crusade instituted in certain untown districts by a group of citizens a week or more ago took an effective turn Friday night, when officers Anderson and Fentress arrested two colored women and three white sailors in a house in Smith court, the heart of the vice area complained of. The women drew fines of $20.00 each in police court Saturday morning when they were arraigned on charges of soliciting for immoral purposes. The sailors, who were used as Commonwealth witnesses were freed. Makes Strong Defense Attorney Eugene Diggs representing the women made an eloquent plan in their defense, contending that the mere presence of the white men and colored women in the house did not constitute an offense, in the absence of other evidence of improper conduct. The court asked the sailors why they went into the house, and they said that they had been invited by the women whom they had met on the streets. This testimony was evidence of solicitation and brought about the imposition of the fines. Promised Cooperation Some days ago when the pastor and a member of the trustee board of St. John's A. M. E. Church complained of vice conditions within the vicinity of their house of worship to Director of Public Safety Col. Borland, that official assured them that immediate cognizance of the situation would be taken by the police department. The arrests of Friday night are regarded as indicating that the promised police cooperation is in effect. Series of Criminal Assault Attempts Reported in City Series of Criminal Assault Attempts Reported in City A series of attempts at criminal assault approaching an epidemic of this sort of crime, recently have been committed against a number of colored women of the city, according to reports filed with the police. The latest of these attacks was on Miss Abethia Jones, 834 Princess Anne road, Wednesday night, September 30, when an unidentified brown-skinned man hold up and choked her in attempt to criminal assault, according to police reports. A few weeks previously a somewhat similar attack was made on a young woman at her home in Anne street, it was alleged. On the same day police received reports of such an attack on an aged woman of Barney street. Police are of the opinion that the crimes were committed by the same man. Detectives Nowitzky and Spencer, in an interview with a Guide reporter, expressed determination of the police to eventually apprehend the culprit and land him behind the bars for many seasons. Just a few weeks ago a man received sentences in Corporation Court No. 2 aggregating 48 years in the penitentiary, for similar crimes. Pender Freed Of Statutory Charge Frank Pender who recently was arrested on the streets at the instigation of Miss Elizabeth Johnson on a charge of attempted criminal assault, was freed when arraigned for a preliminary hearing in police court. in police court. Pender plead mistaken identity through his attorney, James M. Harrison. Mr. Harrison pointed to what he termed the improbability of Pender being the man wanted, and contended that the circumstances pointed to the crime having been committed by a person somewhat familiar with the house, inasmuch as it appeared that Miss Johnson's ass ail ail a waited until a 15-year-old boy had gone from the house just a few minutes earlier. Furthermore, it was testified that upon entering the hoise the man went directly to the room of the young woman: roof of the yoyo Miss Johnson was positive in her identification, but Pender stoutly denied his guilt.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE PRIEST FUTILE Demented Woman Fires Three Shots At Father O'Keefe Of St. Benedict The Moor In New York. A colored widow of fifty years, believed to be demented, tried vainly to assassinate Father Thomas M. O'Keefe, pastor of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Benedict the Moor, on West 43rd street, New York City, Monday morning while the priest was on his way to the church to celebrate the 8 o'clock mass, stated press dispatches Tuesday. The woman, later found to be Mrs. Helen Gruver, had concealed herself in the darkened basement of the church and fired at Father O'Keefe three times just as he entered the building through the basement. One of the bullets passed through his coat, but none hit him. Before shooting, she cried out, "Father is that you?" He answered in the affirmative, to which she replied, "I'm going to kill you." Mgr. O'Keefe ran into the streets crying some one was trying to kill him as the bullets whistled by his form. A chauffeur, in passing the building saw the woman emerge with revolver in hand. He wring it from her hands and held her until a policeman appeared on the scene and placed her under arrest. Explains Grievance At the police station Mrs. Grauer said that Mgr. O'Keefe had evicted her from a three room tenement owned by the church. Father O'Keefe said that some years ago Mrs. Grauer, who was a communicant of the church, had been granted permission to live in the tenement for which only a small rental was changed because she was a widow. Some months ago, he said, it was believed that she had died in the house, when no life had been observed in there for some time, and the door was broken open to ascertain the facts. Later two of the three rooms were taken from her. It was this, it is believed, which preyed on her mind causing her to become aggravated at Father O'Keefe. The woman had not been seen in the church for several years, Father O'Keefe said. COLORED PEOPLE TO GET $200,000 XMAS SAVINGS Race Citizens Of The City Have Sacrificed And Saved Large Sums For Special Purposes. The colored citizens of this city will have what might be very closely estimated at $200,000 Christmas savings money to spend for a joyful Yuletide or to return to the safety vaults of local banks to await the coming of the proverbial rainy day. The Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, in which the bulk of the Christmas savings of the colored citizens here is carried announce that it will pay out about $100,000. But as Negroes do business with practically every bank in the city it might be estimated that they have about another $100,000 stored around town in other financial institutions which have been punched in on their cards during the past year. Saved At Sacrifice Christmas savings money, though in most cases with members of the race is banked at a deal of sacrifice and preservation, when it comes back it is then "pure velvet." It is the little surplus beyond the weekly or monthly pay, and more than often guarantees the visit of Santa to a home that otherwise might not enjoy the visit of this patron saint. Not all of the great deluge of Christmas savings dollars that will come into the hands (Continued on Page Six) APPROVE THE BUDGETS FOR CHEST FUND Community Fund Committee Puts O. K. On Figures Presented by Budget Committee of Council. APPRECIATES FEELING OF UNITY IN CAMPAIGN The budget committee of the Community Fund this week approved the budgets for the colored agencies made and presented some days ago by the budged committee of the Colored Council of Social Agencies. The budget as prepared by the Council and approved by the Community Fund-committee is as follows. Boy's Club.....$1,785.00 Traveler's Aid.....1,386.00 Y. W. C. A.....2,017.00 United Charities.....4,500.00 Maternity Home.....1,655.00 Community Center. The Community Fund budget committee expressed itself in appreciative terms regarding the unity of feeling among the colored agencies, and the care which they had taken in preparing and studying their own budgets. It was felt that they were reasonable in the amounts asked and that the recommendations of the budget committee of the Council of Social Agencies were such as could best be accepted as a whole. It is the understanding, as in former years, that the white people will agree to match dollar for dollar the amount raised by the colored campaign organization, and collected, up to one-half of the total of the goal of the colored campaign. BREAK RECORD IN RAISING SCHOOL FUNDS Colored Citizens Surpass All Previous Efforts In Contributing For Education In The Hampton-Tuskegee Drive. All records in educational fund-raising by the colored people of America have been surpassed in the Hampton-Tuskegee Institutes' endowment campaign, after a twelve monts' effort, declared Chellis A. Austin, vice chairman of the fund, this week. Dr. Austin said headquarters reports show that 5,039 colored alumni have contributed to the fund, their aggregate pledges amounting to $211,900. This is said to represent the largest amount ever raised among the colored people for educational purposes. They have pledged $50,000 in the past month. The contributions represent every State in the Union, the number of colored persons pledging being equal to that of the white, says Mr. Austin. The average sum of gifts of white contributors has been much greater than that of the colored, owing to the higher economic status of the white race, the colored pledges averaging $12. The Hampton-Tuskegee committee hopes to raise the remaining $500,000 by the end of the year in order to complete the five million dollar fund, so as to entitle the schools to George Eastman's two million dollar gift.

Story on page 9. TRAIN PORTER'S QUICK THINKING FATAL TO BANDIT Made An Unwilling Accomplice In Hold-up, But Runs To Front Coaches And Notifies Passengers. The news dispatches sent out from Omaha, Nebraska, this week and carried in the daily press telling of the killing of the lone train bandit, R. A. Porter, after he alighted from the Union Pacific passenger train following his holding up and robbing its passengers, reveals that it was the presence of mind of the Negro Pullman porter which brought the robber to his fatal end. The robber, after boarding the train at an out of the way place encountered the porter in the vestibule of the observation car, stated the dispatches. Levelling his gun at the porter he commanded him to accompany him into the car, where the passengers were ordered to stand in the aisle with their hands up while the porter went down the aisle and searched them. The bandit informed the porter that he was the same man who the night before held up and robbed 25 passengers on a Missouri Pacific train as it was entering the yards of Omaha. In the next car the bandit confronted the brakeman, whom he ordered to search the rest of the passengers. It was then the porter used presence of mind, rushed back to the front of the train and told passengers in those cars what was happening. W.-S. Harris, a private detective, leaped from his seat and tan to the rear coach just as the bandit was about to alight. The bandit opened fire. The detective dodged behind a refrigerator and returned the fire. One shot from his pistol struck the bandit in the leg. Injured. His get-away was checked until Aubrey S. Kenworth, a special officer arrived on the scene and shot him to death. Quick Efforts Save Boy From Certain Death Sidney Fisher, Superintendent of the 130 Baxter street, New York City, proved himself some sort of a hero last week, when he saved the life of a little white boy. boy, according to press reports. The boy tried to climb over the cornice of a building at No. 140 Baxter street to reach the fire escape. He swung his legs over, slipped, nearly lost his hold and screamed for help. The superintendent, a few doors away, heard the boy's shouts, saw his predicament and rushed to the roof of his own building in a elevator. By running across roofs he was able to reach the boy in time to pull him back to safety. The boy about seven years old disappeared without giving his name. In 1924 smokers paid the government more than $325,000,000 in revenue stamps. --- ACCLAIMED --- ing PLAYGROUNDS INCREASE IN CITIES SOUTH PLAYGROUNDS MAN LEAVES INCREASE IN NOTHING TO CITIES SOUTH EXPLAIN ACT Mobile, Orangeburg, Fort Worth, Coffeville, Durham Provide Recreational Facilities For Colored People. ST. LOUIS TO PURCHASE $75,000 TRACT SOON Municipal authorities of what are regarded as farsighted Southern communities, in cooperation with the Harman Foundation of New York, in some cases, recently have tackled the question of providing recreational centers for colored people and are making headway marked by the establishment of several of such places. The need for playgrounds for children and especially Negro children is fast becoming realized, recreational Service Committees point out. It has been found that in the larger cities of the country where proper play facilities are given all children, the crime among juveniles is less. The average Negro community in a city provides an environment where there is every influence except one for the best development of a child, it is realized. In many of the homes both parents work and the child is left to find its own amusement, which usually means in the streets. Durham Open Playground Durham, N. C., has just opened its first playground for colored children at Hillside Park school with an attendance of over 300 boys and girls. Two more recreational centers are to be opened at graded schools. Through the Harmon Foundation of New York four cities have been awarded playfields for Negroes: Mobile, Ala.; Coffeyville, Kan.; Orangeburg, S. C.; and Fort Worth, Texas. The City Council of Columbus Ohio, recently appropriated $75,000 for the purchase of a ten-acre tract of land to be used as a recreational center in a district readily accessible to the mass of the coloree population. The Urban League of that city, cooperating with other organizations systematically presented the needs for such an expenditure to the city officials. RACE PHYSICIAN BADLY BEATEN BY HOODED GANG Dr. S. J. B. Collins, of Farmville, N. C., Taken From Automobile, Flogged And Ordered to Leave Town. Dr. S. J. B. Collins, prominent physician of Farmville, N. C., a British subject, was taken from his automobile while driving along the country road in his home section late in the evening of Sunday last and severely beaten by a hooded gang, according to press reports. The gang stopped the doctor and demanded that he get out of his car which contained his stenographer and another young woman. After severely dealing with the physician the gang ordered him to leave town immediately. Dr. Collins, in reporting the incident when he reached the city, stated that he was suspended in the air and beaten about the body with sticks. He called in several colored physicians who advised him to consult the Mayor. Mayor Malvin Horton informed the doctor that he would readily issue warrant against anybody whom the doctor felt should be indicted in connection with the attack. Being a subject of Great, Britain, Dr Collins has taken the matter up with the British Consulate. He is a native of Kingston, Jamaica, and has matriculated from London University. It was not stated in the news dispatches telling of the incident if a vigorous investigation of the flogging had been instituted by the authorities, but it was stated that serious efforts were being made to obtain reliable affidavits of Dr. Collins' conduct since he has been in Farmville. Largest Circulation In The South PRICE 7 CENTS Gas MAN LEAVES NOTHING TO EXPLAIN ACT Harry Brown. Well-Known Young Man Commits Suicide, Following Four Weeks' Absence. FILLED CREVICES TO MAKE DEATH SURE Harry Brown about 35 years old, 1505 Church street, son of Mr. William Otis Brown, and a well-known young man in this city, committed suicide by inhaling gas in his home Thursday afternoon. Mr. Brown left no note indicating why he desired to end his own life, and apparently none of the members of his family know of any reason why he should have wanted to die. He was unmarried and had not the cures of a family, neither is it thought that financial worries could have preyed on his mind in such as he resided with his father, who is owner of considerable real estate. The young man himself possessed a quantity of valuable jewelry, all of which was found on the dresser of the room in which he took his life. Just Returned To City Mr. Brown had been out of the city for four weeks, returning Thursday, October 1. On that day at about 1 o'clock he was seen in his home by the housekeeper, according to information given Detective Nowitzky, coroner's investigator. The housekeeper lost sight of him from that time on. Around 5 o'clock gas was smelled in the house. An investigation disclosed the young man in his room with life extinct. He had made sure that death would be certain by cramming clothes into the cracks of the door of his room, according to Detective Nowitzky. A pistol was also found nearby in the room, which evidently he had tried to use to kill himself, but it was defective and wouldn't work. When officers arrived at the house the fire department pulmotor was sent for, and was used on the body until it was certain that he was beyond resuscitation. Funeral Held Sunday The young man's funeral was held at the home of his sisters, Mrs. W, L. Davis and Mrs. Maude E. Williams, of Cumberland street, Sunday at 1:30 o'clock. Rev. K. H. Bowling officiated. Interment was in Calvary cemetery. The deceased is survived by his father and two sisters, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Davis.

HOME AND KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Department of Education and Inspiration for the Housewife Edited By- MARION JANE PARKER, Director, Home Economics, Calumet Baking Powder Company, Chicago, Illinois. With the approach of the cold, frosty days of Winter, we are all more or less inclined toward the piping hot dishes, and especially soups, fragrant and appetizing, served as a first course, or possibly heavier soups to form the main dish. This, with bread and butter, hot baking powder biscuits or cornbread, makes an excellent and nourishing meal for both children and grown-ups. Soup, in most instances, is a very economical and wholesome food. An inexpensive and at the same time, a most palatable one may be made from bits of meat and vegetables combined with a stock saved from the preparation of some other food. Where all fresh meat and vegetables must be purchased just for the soup, of course, it is more expensive. This is especially true of the small families where the house-wife is better able to regulate the amount of food to be bought and cooked for each meal, so that there are for left over. In this case it bulin of the meat. When the soup has been cooked sufficiently, it should be allowed to cool so that the fat will rise to the top and can be taken off. It is then ready to reheat and serve. For invalids, clear broths or concomes and tomato soups are preferred. For the heartier appetite, vegetable, meat and vegetable mixed, ox-tail and chicken soups are delicious. Ben's Loan Office To Have First Sale In 21 Years of Business Ben's Loan Office at 631-633 Church street announces in this issue of this newspaper their first sale in 21 years of business. The sale starts Saturday, October 10, and promises to be an unusual event in retail merchandising. For this, the first sale, the concern announces what they term wonderful bargains in all kinds of jewelry, such as diamonds, watches, rings, earrings, chains and silverware, miscellaneous articles and musical instruments. Great bargains in men's new and unredceded suits and overcoats are also announced. The sale will not interfere with the regular loan business of the concern. Benga Loan Office is an old and well-known Church street firm. Hundreds of Norfolk patrons have in times past secured real bargains at the store, and the manager now desires to be known that the most sensational bargains the store has ever offered will feature its first sale. This announcement, it is believed, will be of particular interest to men, who are preparing to lay in their winter wardrobe. AGRICULTURAL STATIONS STUDING 5,598 PROBLEMS Many important problems in agriculture are being gradually solved by the experiment stations and the grist of knowledge given to the public. During the year 1924-25 the various State experiment stations were conducting projects dealing with 5,538 different phases of agriculture, an average of 110 projects per station. In some instances projects are finished in one year, but in many cases several years may be required to complete the investigations and make the results applicable in practice. A classified list of the different projects now being carried on by the stations has been prepared by the Office of Experiment Stations of Agriculture, which shows the wide range of subject matter covered by the experimental work. Projects dealing with field crops lead in number, with a total of 1,817. Of the field crops under study, corn leads with 170 or more projects, wheat follows with 164, potatoes 162, cotton 99, alfalfa 82, oats 81, and soybeans 85. Horticulture comes second with 952 projects, of which over 400 deal with orchard fruits, the leading fruits being, apples 115 and peaches 45; 135 in small fruits; 275 in vegetables, the leading representative of which is tomatoes 34; 65 ornamentals; and 50 with nuts, the largest of which are pecans 20 and walnuts 13. The third largest group is animal production with 926 projects, including among others poultry 205, dairy cattle 191, swine 189, sheep and goats 81, beef cattle 77, and horses and mules 12. In addition to the projects carried on at the State stations, the stations maintained by the department of Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands have projects, which increase the total to 5,688.

The 1,000 membership campaign being conducted by the Eureka Lodge No. 5 of Elks went into its third week this week, after marked progress of the two preceding weeks. Present indications point to a successful campaign. The captains and their sides only need to continue to secure applicants at the present rate and the drive will be evinced the top with a bane. The captains still urge all men, who are fit to fraternalize with Ellis and who have not been solicited to report to the Elks' Home on East Brambleton avenue and secure application blanks. After this campaign has been concluded, it is the opinion of the members of Eureka lodge that it will be a very odd circumstance to meet a man in Norfolk, who is not an EIK. Preparations are already underway among the prominent members of the lodge to carry a banner delegation to Cleveland to the Grand Conclave next year. The men will be fitted out in new and striking uniforms. Tuesday night, December 1 promises to be the biggest night on local Elkdom. Eurekas will stage a mammoth ball and socialize with the newly initiated members. Phyllis Wheatley Garden will be the scene of the event, and according to the number of tickets ordered from the printer, the affair promises to be the largest attended ball ever held in the city.

Miss Abethia Jones, 834 Princess Anne road, reported to the police that she was held up and choked by a brown-skinned man, Wednesday night, September 30, who tried to criminally assault her. No arrests have been made in connection with the report. Zachary Basenore, 731 Pulaski street, poured kerosene oil into the stove in his home Wednesday last in an attempt to make a fire. He was later removed to St. Vincent's Hospital to be treated for burns he received from the explosion caused by his act. Zachary Pue was treated at St. Vincent's Hospital for a broken arm last week which he sustained when he stumbled and fell while running in the yards of the Norfolk and Southern railroad. Pue told detectives that the sight of two approaching policemen frightened him so he just couldn't keep from running. He was charged with no crime. Negro Literature BY WILLIAM PICKENS The only genuine "Negro literature" will be that which Negroes write. And yet some Negroes with high brows and low mental power are always complaining: "Why don't colored writers quit discussing their own race and do something in general literature?" Who in the mischief ever saw any "general literature?" Literature must be specific, or it's no literature. You must create a literature on something you know something about, and not on something you have heard a little about. Victor Hugo will write off French and Frenchmen, and Robert Burns of Scotland and Scotland. Hugo would have made a mess of Scotch and Burns would have messed up the French. The first rule in all writing is to write about something you know. When DuBois writes of the souls of black folk, and Dunbar writes lyrics of lowbrow life, and Jessie Faust writes a story of Philadelphia and New York colored people, they all know what they are writing about. When Woodson writes of Negro history, or when Walter White writes of Georgia life and lynching, they are likely to get read. Some Negroes have the inferiority feeling so deep-seated in their psychology, that they are always trying to "escape." When they go to create "art," they think they have to create something outside of their own life. They seem not to know that American Negro life is just as good a basis for art as any life anywhere in the world. Our Real Interpreters They do not know that the only real interpreters of the life of colored Americans must be colored Americans, and that colored American literature, history and art will never be respectable until they do it themselves. They have not even reflected that all white people ever write about is white people, and that when they do write on other subjects, they do so with a perfectly "white consciousness:" that is, if their writing is not about white people, it is for white people. Here, for example, is Mary B. Mullett writing a long (and good) article in the "American Magazine" about Roland Hayes, and see what she emphasizes: Hayes' mother is said one to have said to the aspiring boy: "Remember who you are!" This becomes Mary Mullett's cue to the interpretation of the Hayes phenomenon. It is ridiculous. The mother could not have meant that he should not aspire for the best or think himself worthy to attain it; she perhaps used that method (being an unlettered woman) to warn him of the opposition to his aspirations. And anybody can see the naive insults in the following paragraph from Miss Mullett's article: "Hayes has the typical' features of his race; and yet when he talks, these features become somehow transformed by that spirit which is within him. He has great simplicity, q ait, and gentleness; a sincere, modesty and an exquisite courtesy. Serious and thoughtful, he has none of the irresponsible: gaiety we associate with his p apple." A Silly Assumption That paragraph assumes that Negro "features" are inconsistent with all the high qualities mentioned in the paragraph—and in the article; and that Hayes' possession of both these features were "transformed" by illusions into white features. That's silly. But colored people will never get rid of that, silly stuff as long as they are merely talked about. They're got to tell their own story. And they've got to pay the expenses of the telling. If Mary B. Mulloit had been writing for colored readers, and not merely about colored people, she never would have written in that manner. In other words, if the readers of the "American," or any considerable portion of them, were known to be colored she would have written to them as well as about them. In short, colored Americans, to make a literature that expresses themselves, will not only have to do the expressing but also to pay the expressage. 100 and fiercest heat our welders work to execute your will.

After nearly two weeks of hard, gruelling practice, the Lincoln Lions give every promise of developing into a fast, sharp, aggressive combination—fairly strong on the defense and rather determined on the offensive. Under the watchful eyes of Coach Yeung the squad is expected to be well rounded out and ready to display its wares to the best advantage. Thanksgiving when the Lions meet the Howard Bisons in Philadelphia. Several criminages have been held this week in which a system of new plays and defense work proved quite successful. In the initial set, in the first string men had four touchdowns chalked to credit While no first places have been definitely assigned, as competition is keeper than ever, a forecast can be made of the probabilities, based on performance. Sanders, 219 pounds of beef, bone and muscle, his siz, looks good. Toodle of last year's dog has also been doing good. Look in this position. Carpenter, a strong bulwark of defense on last year's squall will doubtless be elected to hold right guard; Grasty to tackle continues to be a marvel in that position; Henry at left guard, though not in his usual form, is showing up well; Wilson is making a bid for left tackl, but must rocken with Wells of University, Mo.

But, if them have lowered the of the fairs. The football game between the High School and the Royal Athletic Club brought some very unpleasant thing to the surface; some things that tested the loyalty, fidelity and ideals of those who have proved a sad disappointment to may sport followers. There is no need of a great deal of preliminaries before getting down to the issues. Everybody seemed to be surprised when the Rayolos trot trotted out on the field and two very, very familiar faces came seen. They were not undergoing an optical illusion, and in the meantime hoping that such was true, but are the referees' whistle sounded beginning the struggle, those faces proved to belong to those they resembled, namely Lloyd Williams and Russell West, both former students and football players of Booker Washington School. Now, it seems reasonable that every man should have a right to participate in athletics with any club, team or organization he desires. It does not only seem sensible, but it is very true. One thing certain, it was in no other way possible to win the game, but that's not the point at issue. It seems that they codescended a good bit of their loyalty and loss much of the spirit that was instilled in them in school. Well, some may say, what does it matter who either of these young men play? It doesn't matter as has been inferred in the beginning, but here's the case of each presided in their true lights; West was held in very high esteem by the entire student body as well as his teammates while serving as captain of the school eleven. Such popularity must have been deserved. West graduated from the local school and went to college where he was a member of a college varsity eleven. Even though he was a substitute, he had had the advantages of expert coaching which helps to make good football players; he had a more intense conditioning grind with harder men, which afforded him the opportunity to become harder than most high school football players. It was bad enough for him to play against the fellows who held him in such high esteem as their captain and fellows who are supposed to be far below him in football ability in view of the difference in vantages; but it is worse when he plays against the boys he one lead men who have played any college football at all, so young men who have played any college football at all readily realizes that they have advanced from the ranks of high school football and gone on to a higher type, thus causing them to have pride to the extent of net getting into a class of game that are not on the level with the brand they have played. Rotten stuff West! Now take the case of Williams; he was out for Booker Washington's eleven and participated in scrimmages in preparation for the game with the Royal A. C. Here is where he exhibited a rank bit of unfairness. After the coach having lost, much valuable time with him, he jumps into another line-up and plays against his former teammates. From his actions, it seems that he was a spy in camp, learning what he could and then do a dade away. He knew every high school play from A to Z and this enabled him to play the signals. There is no sound when he knew that a person was playing against him, but he knew that those fellows might not have meant any harm, but people orly judge from what they see and nothing else but. Not of them have lowered themselves in the estimation of many of the fans. Hark! The Eight Rocket Again Wonder what this signing of W.

The quarterback position which presented a problem to Coach Young early in the season, is being contended for by "Buster" Brown and Hibbler, with Brown slightly in the lead by reason of his experience. He is good judgment, though their work is far from satisfactory to the coaching staff. To Play Germantown "Y" Oct. 10 The first "at home" game of the season will be played October 10 when Lincoln University meets the dermantown "Y" team on Rendall Field at Lincoln. Sanders, Callaway, Grusty, Taylor, Henry, Wilson, Lancaster; "Buster Brown and Moors," will undoubtedly be seen in action in this game, in the positions indicated. **Coaching School Opens** In many of the smaller schools of the South where some Lincoln men are to be found as teachers, the average male teacher expected to be versed in the theory and practice of athletic sports, and in football in paris, will be a back of this knowledge often leads to embarrassment. Moreover, with the increasing popularity of athletes, there is a death of good coaching skills. Realizing this peculiar need for men well trained in this field, Lincoln University has designed a coaching course under the direction of Coach Young. It is open to Seniors and Juniors only and two college credits are allowed upon completion of the work prescribed. One hour per week is devoted to lectures on theory and hours to practices ororytory work. The course embraces training in the fundamentals of football, basketball, baseball and track.

HAMPTON OFF TO SEMINARY FOR SATURDAY GAME THOMAS W. YOUNG Hampton, Va.—The Hampton a team of eight players pack away their mid-summed coats, reminiscent of an extra, week of gridiron grind made possible by Livingstone's cancellation of their scheduled game with the Seasider on October 3, and set soil for the Deanes' camp next Saturday to open its season after almost three weeks of gridiron primaries with Cody Smith has given his charges the audacity. He believes that he has selected a worldly Hampton machine. Those who journey out to Virginian Semi- tory to witness the contest will see of the hardest fought games of the season. "The team is not up to the stan- dard I should like to see it at this season," Smith said. "I believe the sound possesses the making of a genuine winning team." Hampton will in all probability have one of the strongest teams in the C. I. L. A. A. this year. The Seaside have been carefully drilled, in all departments of play, but Hampton's foe will be as foolishable this year as the Seaside found her last season. Nearly all the old players are back and the new team with Captain Malvin Wheedle, All-C. I. L. A. A. pick for quarterback, as his nucleus. With such a variety of material as the DeCornes report at camp, Seminary should make a fair bid to keep the bacon at home. However, Hampton will spare no pains for his season's debut, and will make every effort to get a victory in her first game. WANTED! A live wire salesman for Eastern North Carolina territory.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE JACK JOHNSON REPORTED AS 'DEAD BROKE' AND HAVING TROUBLE WITH FURNITURE MAN Jim L. Interscope Tucker Chicago, Ill.—Jack Johnson is giving the old adage "Never look for trouble until trouble troubles you" for this he is paging a price—how much we don't know, but since he continues to be a bull in a chinel closet we pretty easy to look on. According to the latest reports from Chicago, startling revelations are made by members of his immediate family. One that he is broke and badly bent for all says to the contrary. The former, formerly Mrs. Irving Pineau, who resided in the fashionable Brampton apartments is now doing the dishes, scrubbing the floors and other menial tasks about the Johnson home all because Mrs. Rhodes, Jack's sister refused to be her servant. This started a family-embroginship to caller to repurchase the unpaid furniture, it is alleged that Jack and his wife staged a two round bout that was fact and furious—this was for possession of the furniture and not bucks as is the usual custom. It is said that Mrs. Johnson landed a net apperent and now Jack is picking around a swollen eye — whether there is any discoloration, it is hard to tell. It is to be recalled that when Jack lost lived in New York and was a factor in the Club De Lance, the Colton Club he had a woman (twelve of course) who passed as Mrs. Johnson, and after Bedley good for a couple of farcies pursued the author, they got behind Jack and conquered him to withdraw as a factor in the club. This mould caused him no end of trouble, and the knowing ones declared that Mrs. Johnson better off with the two coins would leave the exchamp in the first opportunity. She did shortly after that, and with Six Exercises from a letter written by Gus Rhodes, a relative to Jack read. "When you were broke in Spain I used to fight one fight after another and never see a cost and above all remember I am carrying a useless arm today, barely able to earn a living and only by suffering the fact that if I do this (preferring to Mrs. Rhodes) do this (referring from Jack's home) you are going to pay me in full." "Then again," said Mrs. Rhodes, "Mrs. Pinah had only one dress, one pair of shoes and nothing else much when she came to our home. Jack has only Longtail her three dresses since June. She decided that Longtail made a dress for Jack at a former trial at 18th street court and produced a telephone schedule showing where she had spent $6,160 on long distance calls. These calls, she said, were sent to Jack when he was a patient in a nearby suburban hospital for appendicitis. ST. PAUL HAS BIG JOB DEFEATING CAROLINA STATE Russell Field, Lawrenceville, Va. Oct. 5—St. Paul had a big job defending North Carolina State. Normal School 15 to 5 this afternoon. All tough defenders. Tigers had a close call in their initial game of the 1925 football season. Several hundred persons saw the young speedy and determined Tarheels play the Tigers to a standstill forty-five of the sixty minutes consumed in the thrilling and menacing game. St. Paul played hard and uncoupled all she had, but the spinning maneuvers of the North Carolina State boys almost proved the undoing of the edible "wonder team." St. Paul was forced to a defensive game three-fourths of the time, and she was held scoreless in the first and third periods. Jimmy Hudson's defense in the second act set some of the achievements that field goal by Berrett in the third period from State twenty-six yard line tied the game, produced silence in the St. Paul Camp and put the Tiger rosters in a delirium. St. Paul opened the last frame with an indomitable will that refused to acknowledge even the possibility of defeat, and with a series of brilliant plays that caught the visitors unawares. The Tigers' navigated an exerting line attack in the fourth period was the death knell to the State players whose fond hopes of victory went to naught whenoblinded circled their hearts for a touchdown. Another stellar spurts in the final minutes of the play resulted in a touchdown by Smith through center. The Carolinians played a marvelous game in every respect, and their performance on ancient Russell Field today surpassed all expectations and was a great football team. While the titlist who entered the framed spectacular football, White Excrete, Royal Woodchuck and N. Parker waded through. Notwithstanding the fact that at the exhibition of the Tigers was n incinerere, J. L.

HOWARD DEFEATS MORGAN COLLEGE Washington, D.C. The Howard "Titans" are not to keep their goal-final clear of all opposing trespassers. Coach Watson's squid of bushies took the field first Saturday, October against Morgan in College of Business, Md. The team was 1-1. The Howard team seemed capable of smashing the best of its opponent's lines. They were very weak, however, in their defensive against forward press. Morgan compiled only one out of five attempts, thus giving Morgan the edge in theerial attacks. Howard was for suspicion in the running attack as lifespan first showed against five by seven, and two yards. Gains of five by seven, and two yards were the "Bison's" marched down the field to Morgan's goal line, Dan Brown, Dodson, Payne, Tyson, Carter, Warring, Boss and Cole all showed ability in the backfield on the offensive. The line, too, shared in the glory of the gains for the hole was there for the backfield to come through. Smith and Campbell rejoiced their own out of the play. Deck McCann, who has just reported, showed his ability as still being of steeling, a quality. Doke's displayed his usual process in his special line of the truck tracks, and all the help the plays accurately. Salle completed the only forward pass of the "Bison's", Webb, Hull, Simpson and Jefferson all played well. Captain Long was hurt in the first quarter and consequently was unable to direct his men for the remainder of the game. Coach Law's team also show up quite well. The work of Thomas, Captain and right tackle, together with that of quarterback, was an outstanding feature of Morgan's game. Morgan-0 L. E. Howard-27 McIntyre L. K. Long Hawkins L. T. V.

SIDELIGHTS ON COLORED WORLD SERIES GAMES BY JOHN HOWE Those who saw the opening game of the colored world's series in Kansas City on October first have come to think their lucky stays that they were alive and blessed with good eyesight in this modern era of presses. One of the Western Union telecommunications operators who sat in the stands and flashed the accounts of that contest to various papers through the country, declared at the end of the game that it was the best ball game that he had ever won. There was just a completeness about the whole affair that challenges description. It moved along from beginning to end like the epic game of a wonderful story rather than the real struggle of more humans in a flesh and blood combat. In the course of that twelve inning fray both teams showed up to a splendid advantage, colorful team spirit, audacity part, great teamwork machines that were brilliantly in team play than they could possibly have done in the undisciplined, every-man-for-himself method of carrying on in baseball.

The news that Dempsey has signed to fight Wills is being carefully kept from the players of both teams as a sudden shock like that might throw anybody off his game.

In the early games of the series last year it was Newt Allen who starred with the willow for the K. C's this year it is Moore and McNair who got off to the early lead. With Santop, Lewis, Washington and Robinson representing the reserve strength of Hilldale and with Mothel and Regan, Monarch reserves out of the series it looks like the Easterners should romp away to victory the wear and tear of the series begins to work on the individual players. Stevens, after playing faultlessly on Thursday had a bad day on Friday and has yielded the palm of short stop play to Moore so far this series. N.Y.'S CLASSIC BALL PAUL s.

MOOREHOUSE FOOTBALL DOPE By JOHN PITTMAN The game with South Carolina State next Saturday is looked forward to by the fans with eagerness and misgivings. S. C. State has one of the fastest backfields in the country. Last year she was the only team that secured on Tuskegee's championship eleven, and her line this year promises to be even stronger than that of last season. We estimate the average weight of her team at 185 pounds, however, it may exceed our estimate. According to the local prognosticators, if she doesn't cross our goal line, there'll be some tough trouble when we try to cross hers. This week welcomed the arrival of several men. Dago, the Tiger fullback stepped in from Savannah looking finer than ever. He claims he tackled automobiles and aeroplanes all during the summer to keep in shape. Big "Red" Cooke arrived Tuesday with a suitcase full of Sloan's liniment and witch hazel. The only thing that can stop him is the ground, if we let him tell it. The 185 pound tackle from New York got in Wednesday, and reported for practice that afternoon. He looks like a man-cater from the jungles of Tasmania, and the fellows say he acts like one, too. Parker, from Talladega, the triple-threat man, has not reported, and much to our regret, has decided to keep Morehouse waiting another year. "Key West". Irving, the Tiger captain, is expected in on the sixth, and without a doubt he won't disappoint us, because if "Key West" likes anything better than playing football, it must be playing more football. With these two exceptions, every other veteran has signed up, and is hard at it MISS VIRGINIA R. COLLETTE REAL ESTATE AND RENTALS 444 E. BUTE ST.

So far all their efforts to frantz Walter Cohen have failed. Opportunity For Our Lawyers This week the news columns of this paper announce two important appointments of colored attorneys to positions of trust of responsibility in the public affairs of Chicago city and Illinois state. In one of these instances this recognition of the capability of a Nogro member of the bar comes from that nationally known prosecutor, Robert E. Crowe, of Cook county, Illinois, in which is situated the city of Chicago. In the other instance the recognition comes from Oscar Carlstrom, Attorney General of Illinois. To these two appointments there may be attached some political significance, but under the party system of government such as we have in this country there is political significance or political potentialities attached to practically every appointment to public office made. What in this connection interests the race most is that it is steadily producing men of such capability that their talents and training are being recognized by high public officials and drafted into the public service. --- Mr. Bascom Slemp Grows To Be A Bigger Man White men sometimes, very often, have a way of rising above small things and showing themselves to be big where they had made it appear that they were very small. It is that way with Mr. C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia. He did all that he could to hitch the Lilywhite nightmare on the Republican party of the Southern States, and he made a marked man of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman for Georgia, by using his great office and the prestige of the National Committee to drive Mr. Johnson out of the Committee, and to destroy his primacy in the politics of Georgia by depriving him of all of the honors and privileges of a National Committeeman in controlling the affairs of his party in his State. In his pursuit of building a Lilywhite Re in the scrimmages. We regret to report the decision of Charlie Clark, who was beginning to show real promise as a quarterback. Charlie has decided to put aside football in favor of a job with the Atlanta Y. M. C. A., where he is encouraging little boys to be great athletes like him. As much as we would like to have Charlie fighting for the Maroon and White, we can't blame him for wanting to help his parents send him to school, and besides Charlie says the rest will nerve him up for basketball. Judson Lyons, who was showing good promise in the backfield, had his shoulder crushed, and will be laid up this season. But he says he'll take this little vacation so he can really come back strong next year, and we know he'll do it, too. WONDERS OF AFRICAN Near the great city of Memphis in ancient Egypt was located the city of Crocodilopolis, the sacred city of the crocodile and called by the Greeks, Arsinoe. It was here that the great Greecian historian, Herodotus, found and explored the upper part of this vast labyrinth, the beauty of wonder of which moved him to say that he knew of nothing in all Greece to compare with it. It contained 3,000 rooms, of which 1,500 were under ground and 1,500 overground. It was divided into courts, each one of which was surrounded by collonades of pure white marble. The whole edifice was symbolical of the zodiac and the solar system and its walls were bright with inlaid gold and shining colors. Only the priests were allowed to visit the chambers underground, where the royal builders and sacred crocodiles were buried. But anyone could wander among the endless marble beauties above. Herodotus was told by the priests that the rooms below were covered with gold and studded with jewels. Perhaps they were, because even among the ruins discoverers have found both gold and jewels. Herodotus, classic of this labyrinth, should have been called a wonder of the world. And he should have known, because he had traveled far and beheld many of the things which had been called world wonders. The most of them he found in the world, and of mystery and wisdom, and when he paid a tribute to this wonderful temple, it must have been truly worthy.

THE GUIDE PUBLISHING COMPANY NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE publican party, in the South and of destroying Mr. Johnson politically, Mr. Slemp left no stone unturned, but he failed because he was no match for Henry Lincoln Johnson in the roughe game of politics he played against him. When Mr. Johnson was dead Mr. Slemp was big enough to express his candid opinion of his toe in a way that makes him a bigger man in our estimation that he had taught us to regard him. Only a big man at bottom could write the following of a dead enemy that Mr. Slemp wrote of Mr. Johnson: "He was a man of great persuasive powers, of magnetic personality and undoubtedly the most prominent political factor of his race during his quarter of a century of active effort. "He awakened my sympathy for himself and his cause because he was always appealing for a higher right of self-expression for his race. "He succeeded where others failed because he exercised great tact, worked without friction and always made friends. His taking away is untimely and with his friends I mourn his loss." This statement by Mr. Slemp is all the more gratifying because it is true, such an estimate as the best friend of Mr. Johnson could have made. It takes a brave man to speak honestly his opinion of the enemy he had tried to destroy but who refused to be destroyed, even though he be dead. Y. M. C. A. In The Rural Sections Announcement of the tentative proposal of the Colored Work Department of the National Y. M. C. A. Council to extend its activities to the agricultural centers proves very interesting to those of us who still hold to the opinion that the farm is the backbone of the nation, and that for the best interest of the country, farm-life should be made as alluring as practicable to young America. The good influence of the Y. M. C. A. on the life of the young people in the urban centers long has been proved. It is interesting to reflect on how such an influence carried to the young people of the rural sections, making country-life more attractive and satisfying to them might stimulate agriculture and effect considerable material benefit to the country folk particularly and the nation generally. Every influence that tends to establish the rural population where it is, to retard its influx to the populous cities, where congestion, unemployment and adverse economic conditions have already made life miserable for thousands, works for the permanency of our institutions and the conservation of the health and life of our people. And in this connection the young men and women on the farms are urged to stay there and to make the best of their opportunities. There are thousands of former country people in the cities now who have been beaten and buffeted by the stern exactions of urban existence until they have lost grip on life and are confirmed failures. Self-independence anywhere is more or less a will-o-the-wisp, but certainly the man who tills an acre of land for himself, raises his own foodstuffs, minds his own hens and chickens, gets about as close to self-independence as it is possible to get. New Wage-Fixing Policy The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company proposes, in future to base the minimum wages of its employees on the purchasing power of the dollar. A prominent official of the company is reported as being the authority for the statement that such a policy of wage fixing will prevent an employee's wages declining faster than the prices of the necessities of life and will cause a rise in the workman's pay in conformity with the rise in prices of the things he must buy. That sounds good. We submit that such a system of fixing wages would constitute a revolutionary departure from the system embodied in the law of supply and demand which now controls wage making. But we believe that the new policy merits a trial, and should be adopted, in every industry where practicable. Good wages are seldom a liability upon any concern, but generally a first class investment to both the employer and the community. There are some sections, particularly in the South, where wages of colored laborers bear no relation whatsoever to the cost of living. A community in which those who do the dirty work find it impossible to earn a wage adequate to provide a decent living for themselves and their dependents, cannot expect to attract or hold efficient and contented workmen, nor make rapid commercial expansion. Good wages make good business and good business stimulates municipal growth. A Grand Program will be rendered.

E. BRAMBLETON AVE. AND LINCOLN ST. Colored People To Get $200,000 Christmas Savings (Continued from Page One) of the race next month will find their way into the channels of trade immediately, because colored people are growing more thrifty and are learning. In larger numbers to save some and spend some. But there is no doubting the fact that local stores will get the "lion's share" of these funds during the pre-holiday business. It is so because Christmas is Christmas; it comes but once a year, and folks are going to spend money to spread the joyless spirit of the times, if they can get it. The aggregate sum of Christmas savings money credited to the colored people of Norfolk this year presents more thrift and saxifice, more sweat and stint than some people might think. It is admitted that wages for common labor, most of which is performed by members of the race, in and around Norfolk could double without being considered high. The providing of the necessities of life for them and their dependents has been at considerable strain in most quarters, because these necessities are still high around Tidewater. It is safe to say that if wages should for any reason whatsoever take an upward climb next year, the 1926 Christmas savings money would show a big increase. Peking has more than 200 daily newspapers.

If they seen a new impressive sight than the hunched people marching for the King. Thousands of people lined the streets on both sides and craned their necks to watch the marchers. Some of those looking on could scarcely comprehend what it was all about, indeed they had not been associated or familiar with church affairs in the city while. The line of men were the Excelsior, the Premier Military and St. Joseph's Catholic. The marchers formed on Butte street and proceeded to Bank street, thence to Olney road, to Church street, to Princess Ame read, to Chapel street, to Charlotte street, to the Academy lot, where a bright service consisting of band concerts and a short address featured the program. M. E. Diggs, president of the Interdenominational Sunday School Council, was master of ceremonies. Several Churches Represented Practically every church in the city was represented in the annual event. It was successfully carried out and it reflected considerable credit on those who participated and those who managed it. The purpose of these annual parishes is to offer them once a year at the children of the Sunday schools of the city; to soften denomination of lines and to inspire the young folks to efforts in religious activity and consecration. MT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Services were largely attended on last Sunday and a running welcome was given the pastor on his return from a vacation. The Sunday school is making great progress and the fall program is in full swing. Rev. Johnson preached two electrifying sermons that thilled the hearts of all who heard him. The power of his preaching is attracting and drawing many eager hearers from all parts of the city. The pastor was ably supported by the choir which sang the songs of Zion in the Spirit. The B. Y. P. U. is rendering interesting programs every Sunday. The finishing touches are being added to our new addition and all are looking forward to the dedicative services. Louiset Aid Society met at the residence of Mrs. Ella Fulkner, where plans were laid for a very active program. Many were present at this opening session and enjoyed the repast served by the hostess. The Willing Workers assembled in large numbers at the residence of Mrs. C. Harris. Mrs. C. Dushill was elected president for the remainder of this term and every member expressed great determination to make this the bannen year. Mrs. Harris served a very nice repast at the close of the session. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday was Homo Coming Day with us. The very forces of nature here.

Hathews, spoke from a Volunteer Worker's View; Dr. Olive C. James, spoke of Our Church from a Member's View. Our church was interesting and helpful. The pastor, Rev. Richard H. Bowling, delivered a brief semenecte from the text Deut. 20:1, subject: "The Day of Battle." The pageant, "DYNs in the OL Home," announced for the evening service drew such a crowd that people were turned away after all seats were taken and standing room no longer available. This pageant was a marked success. Every participant deserves special mention for the most pleasing manner each part was rendered. Everybody enjoyed the evening in Zion. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. united with the other Sunday schools of the city in a city-wide Sunday school parade. This was the best parade ever staged by the Sunday School Council. Conference Colored Workers Episcopal Church In Session --- Savannah, Ga.--The Conference of Colored Workers of the Protestant Episcopal Church met in this city September 28, to October 2.

With the opening of the Sunday school, an interesting an inspiring day was began at Monumental on last Sunday. At 11:30 a.m., the congregation re-welcomed the pastor, Rev. A. C. Clark, to the pulpit. Glowing with enthusiasm, he gave a delightful account of the days spent in pleasant reminiscence of his boyhood. Choosing as his subject: "The Test of Discipleship," Rev. Clark preached from the text: "If any man would be my disciple, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow after him, his keynote of his apology: 'Self-Discipline.' Equalizing and self-aggrandizement were assigned as Satan's greatest weapons used against mankind. At night, the pastor again filled the pulpit, using as his theme: 'Bearing the Cross.' During this service the Holy Commission was administered. Four new members were received, and many visitors and friends were made welcome.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE DECLARES GOD SUPPLIES NEEDS BUT NOT WANTS --- Grace Church Rector Affirms That The Source Of AM Life And Needs Is Divine. The Sunday school of Grace P. E. Church showed signs of the reflux "Rally" last Sunday. The classes were well attended and there were many indications received vigor. Both of the regular services were very well attended, especially the morning service, which was unusual. The Rector, Rev. Harris, presided at both services. His subject was "Some Religious Convictions", text Phil. 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." He began by saying that our religious beliefs and actions which result from these beliefs should be based on convictions. One of the Christian's convictions here when he says that "God is supplier of all our needs, but our wants, mind you. Rev. Harris spoke of the three when he said that our God is the source of life which imparts: 1. Strength when we are week; 2. Comfort when in sorrow and 3. Purification of our sins. The struggle against passions, against dishonesty and against doubt were emphasized. The fact that men in all these try to overcome by relying on lower forms of help instead of the highest was dwelt upon. Using the example of Christ upon him, he was burdened. He said: "He refused bread because He was able to impart strength and would impart it." In the case of the doubt of John the Baptist when he was in prison was cited. When we are in sorrow men suggest two courses: First, they offer you the consolation of "Forgetting" and say it will soon wear off or they say take some fascinating work. The idea is to throw it off. The question should be, What did God mean by placing it on us? He helps us not out but in it. The comfort comes when we realize God's companionship in the sorrow. Take David, "Yea the I walk through the valley and the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me." It is God's company in sorrow. The almost invariable desire of a person who is about to pass from this life to that which is to come is that he may be satisfied that his sins are put behind him. He wants to feel that there are two ways in which God meets this need. First, he will pardon the sins of any one who will ask forgiveness, and secondly He offers you help in transformation. To those who seek Him in earnest He is never-failing. We owe many expressions of gratitude for this truly inspiring message. At the six o'clock service to an intensive congregation Rev. Harry is peached on the "healing of the Counselor's Servant," making special comment on Faith and Humility. REVIVAL BEGINS AT WESLEY UNION Revival services will be held at Wesley Union A. M. E.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH A large attendance was witnessed in the Sunday school. The pastor has returned to the city and was in his pulpit at the morning services. He has just concluded a vacation spent in Philadelphia and New York. Sunday morning, Rev. Williams, the pastor, preached an excellent german, Psa. 37:3, text "Trust in the Lord and do good, etc." He also preached at night after which a program was rendered by the church orchestra. Reports from the white apron and shirt sleeve rally showed that $115.20 had been raised. EASTERN STAR STAR OF CHRIST (Bruce's Park) Elder W. T.

WON'T LEAVE JAIL Kinston, N. C.—Claude Coward's term in the Lenoir County stockade has expired. Coward is free to go where he pleases, but he refuses to go anywhere, other than about his routine jail affairs. Coward went to the stockade for killing a man, and he avers that all the time he has been doing penance in prison for that deed that same man he killed has been "hunting" him. Coward declares that he sees that man's "ghost." He has found confinement with other prisoners at the stockade comforting. Sometimes he has aroused those about him by his cries in the night hours, when other convicts were asleep. Where he will spend his lonely nights of his liberty confronting him has been the biggest problem for Coward. Henry Clay and Daniel Webster borrowed money. From banks on joint notes.

Man Sentenced To Portsmouth Man Sentenced To Portsmouth A young man was arraigned by Police Justice Spindle by officer O'Brien Saturday morning on a charge of vagrancy. The officer alleged that he came up on the man sleeping in a stable and put him under arrest. The man admitted that he had no job, became tired while looking for work, lay down and went to sleep. When asked how he managed to live, he said he was in Portsmouth, with a furnishing him with food. Justice Spindle sentenced him to go back to Portsmouth and stay there. Some hangers-on around the court room were heard to remark, "what a hard sentence." DOES JIM CROW QUICKEN ONE TO HEAR A CALL? (By Associated Negro Press.) It has been rumored in various sections both North and South in the past six weeks or two months, that Dr. Earnest Hall, pastor of Liberty Baptist Church, Atlanta, has been called to a prominent Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio. To what a church Dr. Hall has "heard the Call" could not be ascertained from his congregation or official board. "Dane Rumor" persists in claiming that Dr. Hall is soon to depart from these "Mundane Shores" to take up his residence in the "Huckleberry State." This rumor has occasioned a great deal of concern, because of the place Dr. Hall has occupied in the Civic and Religious life of Atlanta and Georgia. We shall be loath to give him up, and to do so if at all, under protest. We had just settled down from a state of anxiety and unaccomplishment that was occasioned by the report being circulated that Dr. Peter Jones Bryant had been called to "Destroy it" way up in Michigan. Less than a fortnight ago, it officially came that Dr. Russell Brown, pastor of the First Congregational Church, Atlanta, for the past four years had tendered his resignation and had accepted work with the Mt. Zion Congregational Church, Cleveland, Ohio. This news came as the "lost straw that broke the Camel's back," and we are now wondering who of our prominent divines will soon "hear another call" and respond to it. The going away of so many of our prominent men has stimulated speculation in certain quarters respecting all of the influences surrounding their going. If other communities recognize in the men of Atlanta and Georgia peculiar fitness, ability and training, together with the experience, that fit them in a special way for occupying positions of leadership in other sections, then Atlanta and Georgia are to be congratulated on serving as a training and equipping station for men who have the ability and capability of developing into real outstanding leaders. The other communities ought to feel grateful to Atlanta and Georgia for this contribution to their general welfare. Atlanta should be congratulated that her favorable sons are sought with such persistence by others. If the above is true then let us thank God and take courage as we go forth to train other men and women for leadership. There is, however, another rumor about to the effect that the appearance of and ever present "JIM CROW CARS" and JIM CROW" ELEVATORS, the "COLORED THIS" and the "COLORED THAT" gives keenness to one's ear to hear a call to other climes. If the latter is true then we will have to hasten to withdraw our congratulations. If the outstanding men and women of our race are leaving Georgia because they receive treatment, a larger measure of justice and fair dealings in other copemonewealths, then it is most unfortunate for Atlanta and Georgia. We pray for the time to come when Georgia as well as many of the other states will become so mair and impartial in dealing with all races that no one will want to leave them because of not receiving a square deal. The constructive influences of both race elements should not be content until there is as much justice, fairness, and impartiality in dealing with the race and individuals in Georgia as there can be found anywhere else in the world.

The religious pageant entitled "Five Unforgettable Days In The Old Home," drew such a crowd at the First Baptist Church last Sunday night, that scores were unable to gain entrance. Long before the service hear the galleries were crowded with people of all ages. The pageant itself was a fitting climax for the observance of Home Coming Day. It was a true picture of life in an ideal Christian home, showing the characteristic scenes, from a leafy lover's lane to the death-darkened room of every man's last days. Scenes by the painter, who was suitably made to make real to the audience the story of life. Physicians and registered nurses came on the stage with their professional bags and uniforms. The undertaker and his assistant were dressed in somber black and were handling floral designs and taking down a crepe from the door. The bride carried a real bridal bouquet, and the groom was wearing a formal suit. The baby was sleeping in a crib. A real kitten set sleepily baked a cookie, and father baked their son goodbye over an old vine covered gate. The lawyer talked in actual legal terms. The night after the funeral was made solemn by all lights being out, save the old oil lamp lighted by "Sole Survivor." The music was also well-chosen solos, hymns, anthems, spirituals, and sentimental all blending to add to the effects. The sentimental songs were lifted by their unique setting and produced effects like the old hymns, "I hear you calling me." "When you come to the end of a perfect day," "O promise me," were as reverently listened to as "Nobody knows dee trouble I see." "Where is my wandering boy tonight," or "Peace, perfect peace." One of the most striking scenes was that of the mother worried sick by reason of her boy's having gotten into trouble. Her husband had been in her case and called in a day and night nurse and a specialist for consultation. Finally, arousing from her stupor, she pleaded piteously for just one more sight of her wandering boy. This was followed by a solo chorus, "Where is my wandering boy to night." Miss Wanser I. Bagall, a member of the church, was the capable director of the affair. Improved Production Methods Bring Human Happiness An era of greater prosperity and happiness for all civilized people was forsaken by engineers and economists of 31 nations who attended first world power conference, held in London, England from June 30 to July 12, 1924. Though the delegates were the world's leading technologists, their interest was focused not on technical matters but on the question, "What can be done to make human life better worth the living?" The following answer to this question was unanimously agreed upon: "Resolved, that it is the opinion of this conference that the world's most crying need today is greater production and manufacturing activity among its peoples under conditions which will promote individual prosperity and happiness, and that this can be largely achieved by the fuller development of national power resources and by the establishment of the most economical means for the general distribution and utilization of energy." This thought was developed by hundreds of speakers before the conference. The subject of the relation of power to prosperity is of such importance; that it should be understood by every thinking American. Superpower, or interconnection of power resources is not a dream of visionary men of science; it is a reality today in various parts of the United States and is being extended as rapidly as circumstances permit. On this subject, John W. Lieb, vice president of the New York Edison Company sadi: "In New York City, a considerable number of small companies had grown up during the first 20 years of central station operations. Their facilities consisted of many small and inefficient power plants using different generating and distributing systems and customers' equipment. The following decade witnessed a general consolidation and merging of these companies and a unification of generating and distributing facilities, concentrating production in a few large economical plants, and providing a safer and more reliable service." This was really the beginning of superpower service. An extension of this system to all parts of the world will bring about greater production and manufacturing activity and lighten the burden of human toil in every land. As might be expected, the initiative and energy of American citizens is leading the way. Dr.P.L.Barbour Died Thursday Dr.P.L.Barbour Died Thursday Dr. P. L.

"Old Ironsides" And Olympic Star Sesqui Attractions Philadelphia, Pa.—The fifty or more millions of visitors to the Sesquicentennial International Exposition will be welcomed above two famous old warships, the "Constitution," "Old Ironsides," and the "Olympic," which are to be restored to their former condition and moored at the Philadelphia Navy Yard adjacent to the Exposition grounds. Whether their batteries and time-worn hulks are splintered wood and rusted or dented steel and tarnished brass, here ships, gallant vessels that have won their place in history as the nation's bulwark in times of stress by turning back the onus of the enemy. always hold a poignant thrill for the patriot. Chief among the American ships whose stirring victories in other days won immortelles for their dauntless crews and deathless honors for themselves are the "Constitution" and the "Olympic." (1904; July 1904; Bulletin) "Old Ironsides 1812 Kene The "Constitution," "Old Ironsides" of song and story, wrote a thundering chapter in American naval history by her successive defeats of British frigates during the War of 1812. Her victory over the "Guerriere," pride of the British Navy, placed the American Navy on a par with any in the world. The old frigate, restored in 1830 through popular sentiment aroused by Oliver Wendell Holmes' poem, "Old Ironsides," after she had been condemned as unseaworthy, is again in a state of disrepair. She lies in the Boston Navy Yard, her hull wormeaten and rotted. The sum of $475,000, raised by popular subscription in Boston and vicinity, will be spent in reconditioning the "Constitution" and bringing her to Philadelphia. The "Olympic," admired Dewey's flagship, the gleaming vessel that bol the American fleet into Manila. Bay that bright morning of May 1, 1898, is a ship of steel and brass, a fighting machine of trouble efficiency. But like the "Constitution," her minute of lasting honor was earned by a crew whose hearts were fired by the thine of heroism. Today the "Olympic" lies in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, her commission pomant furled, her decks unscoured and her brasswork tarnished. But her gallant service at Manila Bay and her solemn pride honor in bringing to America the body of the Unknown Soldier who her buried in Arlington Cemetery have not been forgotten.

Leads Other States An understanding of just how far North Carolina outranks several other Southern states in the matter of Negro education may be gained from the following information: Alabama has not a single accredited four-year public high school; Arkansas; none; Florida; none; Georgia has 9 colored high schools, seven of which are private and two public; Louisiana has three, all public; South Carolina, none; Texas, three, all public; Virginia has 17 high schools for Negroes and of these 9 are private and 8 are public. West Virginia has 9 such schools, all public. In this connection, attention is called to the fact that Arkansas, Alabama and Florida have no regulations for accredited Negro schools. Appropriations From Public Funds Appropriations from State funds for aiding small high schools doubled during the period 1922-23 to 1924-25. In the first mentioned period the State appropriated $500 for this purpose and last year $10,300 was expended on these schools. In the State in 1923-24 there were 273,183 colored children of school age. Of this number 247,987 were enrolled in school, 187,671 being counted in the rural schools and 59,416 in the city schools. All of the city children were in long term schools, 8 to 10 months. More than 15,000 of the rural children were in 8 months schools and the remainder in the minimum, 6 months schools. A strong effort is being led by State Superintendent of Education A. T. Allen to secure a minimum term of eight months, saves the bulletin. In North Carolina there are 40 Jeanes Supervisors in forty-one counties who are working to raise the standard in rural elementary schools, through improvement in classroom instruction, improvement and building of school houses and by holding group center and county commencements. The purpose of the group center commencements is to promote school interest, community spirit and good fellowship. During the past year the Jeanes supervisors raised $150 for buildings $4,852 for health work or a total of $881,871.93 for all purposes. Bill's Epistle To The Caucasians Concerning Certain Hasty Remarks leaned forward, placed his elbows on the arms of his chair, hunched up his shoulders, and begin counting off the fingers of his left hand with the forefinger of his right. Well, when I saw all these signs of a long drawn out argument, I pushed back my typewriter, took a fresh light, and began to wonder if I could sleep with my eyes open. "Here's the idea, Mister Scott. Suppose you did write a whole bunch of stuff about what we boys did in France. That wouldn't prove anything. You wouldn't convince anybody that wasn't over there. And we fellows that were over there don't need to be convinced. But if I took something that everybody knows something about, see. Why, then, I could prove something. Ump? I could prove something, then, Umh?" "Why, yes, you could," I replied with a smile. "Now just suppose you were one of these Caucasians, which, of course I know you're not. But just suppose you were. And you should walk up to me and say, 'Bill, you Colored boys make a hot bunch of soldiers—in a pig's eye.' I'd come back at you like this." Now Bill arose and struck what was nothing; if not a dramatic attitude and delivered himself of the followinig epistle. 1. Dear Caucasians: 2. If it's just as much of a pain to me as it is to you for me to have to get you put like this, but 3. YOU'VE DONE ME WRONG. 4. A pair of days or so ago I was reading in a magazine, some cracks a woman writer was making about a university in the West. There had been a vote taken among the coeds to find out what qualities they most admired in men. And these are the qualities that non out: 5. Moderately good looking, athletically inclined, morally clean, respectful toward religion, healthy, appreciative of the good and beautiful, well-trained socially, chivalrous, optimistic, good-natured. 6. There they are. If you didn't get the drift, that's your bad luck. I'm not coming again. 7. Now I thought that was about all a man ought to be; but the writer thought otherwise. She contended that those qualities would make a good companion; but that a REAL man must have: 8. Patience, courage, industry, sound judgment, love of children, capacity for self-sacrifice. 9. Then she went on to say what she though of women that would choose the first list and neglect the second. URDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1925 School journalism in North Car- lina high schools is engaging the position of Superintendent W. A. Bison of high schools of the city who is pushing it as much sible to insure a healthy and growth. Mr. Robinson meet that he considers school milestone one of the most impor- tant extra curricular activities of high schools. For this year he has trophies for the best of school newspapers For the 1925 and for the best-Annual 1925. In this connection, upon Robinson's suggestion, the Nor- rion Journal and Guide will give a for the best editorial writen student in the 1925 session. Among the interesting figures affects on education in North Carlina disclosed in a bulletin written by Mr. Robinson and Miss W. Holland, Supervisor of national Schools is the fact that were in the past session 13 high school newspapers annals published. bulletin also shows that for form 1923-24 there were 5,037 school teachers in North Dana. That these teachers ambitions to improve them was evidenced by the fact during the summer of 1924, or 84.5 per cent of them were or in summer schools. The rate of these teachers holding and certificates was 2,679 or per cent, while 2,358 or 46.18 teachers held non-standard certifi- High Schools Increase increase in Negro high schools in State for the six-year period, 1925 has been notable. In there were 11 colored four-high schools in North Carolina. In 1924-25 this number has increased to 43, a total increase in six years or an average increase of more than five per year. schools having at least one full-high school teacher and at 20 children above the elementary school there were 86 in 1924, the 43 accredited high schools, are private and 20 are public, figures also indicate a rapid in public high schools, for in when the total number was only 4 of these were public. In public high schools in 1924-25 were 180 teachers, 4,096 students and 564 graduates. In the public high schools for the same period 146 teachers, 2,734 students and 446 graduates. These figures that in the State there were 80 high school graduates in 1925. This represents an appitable increase over the year, for in the year 1923-24 were 740 Negro high school students; 293 teachers as com- SCOTT'S SERIES was sitting at my desk the morning along about nine a.m. I was not paying any attention at all to the sounds about place.

I've never everheard anyone calling me even MODERATELY good looking. I'm NOT athletically inolined. My social training's not 40. And that's THAT. 13. If we should take any two men, or races of men, and measure them both according to this second list, why, we ought to find out how they compare as men. Oughtn't we? 14. Now don't be a sap. Of course we ought. 15. Suppose, now, that we take all the progress that the white and colored races have made in this country in the three hundred years between 1620 and 1920, and suppose we compress it all into a single lifetime. We're assuming that a single generation of men have in fifty years made the advance that has occurred from about the time the first Negroes arrived in America until just the other day. Then each year in the life of our generation would correspond to six years in the life of the two races here. 16. Get the idea? No? well, we'll go over it again, then____ There now, Do you know what it's all about? Oh, that's all right. I'm dumb like that myself sometimes. 17. Now I'll say this sort of casual like. With but fifty years to live, the colored part of our generation SPENDS THE FIRST FORTY YEARS IN SLAVERY. In other words, they have just TEN years to cover the ground that their white brothers cover in FIFTY. 18. How do you like that for a handicap? Don't you LOVE it. 19. Oh, I forgot. Eleven per cent of them gain their freedom during this time. Eleven per cent have a chance to learn something, to accumulate property. All of eleven per cent have a chance to try being men. Eleven per cent isn't much. 21. But it beats a blank. 22. In the next five years the colored folks reduce their illiteracy to 57.1 per cent. In the whole forty-five years that have now passed the white folks have got their illiteracy down to 6.2 per cent. 22. Now wipe off your slate and we'll do some figuring. 42.9 per cent is to 93.8 per cent as 5 years are to 45 years. Just to speed things up I'll give you the answer: 23. The colored folks reduce their illiteracy about four times as fast as the white folks do. But don't take my word for it. Dope it out for yourself. 24. Now some Nordic (more or less) will hop up and yelp. "But they learn everything from us." Maybe. But just run your optics over this: 25. You Caucasians had been educating yourselves for centuries when you came here. While the Negroes, as far as education goes, were an absolute zero. Does that even things up? 26. IT DON'T MISS IT. 27. And anyhow, where do you get that stuff about the Negro's learning everything from ALL the Nordics? It's a comparatively few men that are always in advance of the rest, and the many learn from the few. Does it make you any smarter to learn from one of your own race than from one of another, just so long as you LEARN. 28. IT DOES NOT. 29. In the next four years the Negroes of our generation do a little more than slice their percentage of illiteracy in half. The Caucasians do the same. Still, a half of 57.1 per cent is a bigger slice than a half of 6.2 any may you look at it. 30. Now our generation of men is forty—nine years old. Certainly old enough to marry. Well, about their family life, then? 31. First, we find that there are just as many families among the colored as among the white members of the generation. And then, we learn the surprising fact that the average number of children per family for both groups is 4.9. And so, after all, Negroes do not have gangs of kids more than do Caucasians, popular jokes to the contrary notwithstanding. 32. But there's one thing about that number, 4.9, that I can't quite make out. It's that nine-tenths of the fifth kid. Still, I suppose a blacked member is apt to bob up in the best of families. In fact, now that I've thought it over. I concede that nine-tenths is quite a general allowance. I've run across members of perfectly good families with a darn sight more than a tenth part missing. 33. AND I DON'T MEAN MAYBE. 34. Now ever, since I was knee-high to a grasshopper I've been hearing that Negroes are indolent. Not lazy, just INDOLENT. The difference is that you're not supposed to get so mad when they call you indolent as when they call you LAZY. And here I come to find out that a little less than fifty per cent of Negroes are engaged in gainful occupations as against a little more than forty-four per cent of the Caucasians. 35. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT. 36. And what's more, 38.9 per cent of colored women are wage earners to 21.1 per cent of the white. 37. Now, of course, some one could say that's because we have to. But that having to stuff doesn't make the shift any easier to bring. Now, does it? 38. TELL THE TRUTH. 39. Now our generation is well into the fifteenth, and last, year, and they'd better be thinking about passing out of the picture. How have they gone about preparing for the hereafter? Well, if it means anything to you there are about forty-six per cent of the Caucasians, belong to the leading denominations as against fifty per cent of the Negroes in the same class. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE FRANKLIN MRS. MARY ASHE is the authorized Journal and Guide Agent for Franklin. All business referred to her will be given prompt attention. Rev. M. C. Allen Installed As Pastor Of First Baptist Franklin, Va.—Rev. M. C. Allen pastor of the First Baptist Church of Franklin, Va., was installed on Sunday, October 4th. The installation services began Monday night, September 28th, and lasted thru Sunday. Sermon were delivered by Revs. J. G. StClair Drake, D. D. pastor of St Luke A. M. E. Zion Church, Franklin; T. J. Johnson, D. D., pastor of Pine Street Baptist Church, Suffolk; A. A. Galvin, pastor of First Baptist Church, of Newport News; O. E. Jones, D. D. pastor of Mt. Aarart Baptist Church, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Prof. W. B. Holland was master of ceremonies. The sermons were very practical and filled with inspiration and aspiration for the church and all the friends who were fortunate to hear them. The installation sermon was preached by Rev. W. C. Brown, D. D., of Pittsburgh. It was said by ministers and those who had witnessed many similar occasions that it was the most impressive service of its kind that they had ever witnessed. Dr. Brown, who has been a life-long friend of the pastor, said that the character the church has called to its pastorate was as determined as death, fearless as the greatest warrior, loveable, visionary as a prophet and a born race leader; and that his wife, Mrs. Wilhelmina Allen, is a good pastor wife. She is a woman of stern qualities, friendly and ap- proachable, sympathetic, fursighted, received and resourceful. He used for a text Acts 14: 2, subject: "Make a Circle". 1: Circle of Prayer; 2. Kindness; 3. Truth: 4. Love; 5. Sympathy. Dr. A. A. Galvin, chairman of the trustee board of V. T. and C., offered prayer and escorted the pastor to the pulpit while the choir sang, "A Charge to Keep I Have." When the pastor, Rev. M. C. Allen, ascended the rostrum, Mrs. Mabel Hardy, in well-chosen words, presented a beautiful hat from the Aid Society. T h e pastor made one statement "Brethren, I am determined not to know anything among you save Jesus and Him Crucified." Mr. John Daughtry, Mrs. Hattie Harris and sister, Mrs. Ruth Croprew, of Portsmouth, motored to Franklin Sunday and were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Arrington, 303 Hall street Mrs. Sadie Hurst and children, of Norfolk, Mrs. Tucie Mitchell and children, of Suffolk, have concluded a visit with their mother and grandmother, M r s. Cornelia Vaughan. Mr. William Hurst, of Norfolk, spent Sunday in the home of his mother-in-law. M r s. Cornelia I been told that colored folks are fanatics on religion. Well, if a four per cent increase in church attendance is all it itakes to make a fanatic, then we'll all on the verge of going nutty. 41. Yes, sir. statistics are sure hard on popular delusions. In fact I never have seen a single P. D. yet that could stay in the ring three rounds with n good, fast, statistic. 42. And now that our generation has passed on, it seems to me that the Negroes in it have at LEAST measured up to the Caucasians in seeking after knowledge, bettering one's economic condition, providing for a family, and caring for one's spiritual life. And what does this mean? Why, it means nothing at all, if not that they have their due share of: 43. PATIENCE,—COURAGE E,—INDUSTRY,—SOUND JUDGMENT,—LOVE OF CHILDREN,—CAPACITY FOR SELF-SACRIFICE. 44. And if they are ace-high in the qualities that make REAL men (as listed by a CAUCASIAN writer), do you mean to tell me that they would run out of any old war, or sneak off anybody's battlefield? 45. SAY, don't make me Laugh. And with this sage remark Bill swaggered out, having expressed exactly what I was thinking of. a lot more vividly than I was thinking of expressing it.

SHERIFF SLEEPS WITH RIOT GUN ACROSS HIS LAP Bids Defiance to Threatening Mob—"Will Tolerate No Foolishness," He Says. Atchison, Kan., Oct. 7—Declaring that he would resist to the utmost any effort to inflict mob violence on Melvin Bailey, alleged murderer, Sheriff Ben Fedderson defied would-be lynchers to storm the county jail where Bailey is confined. In substantiation of his challenge, the sheriff slept in a chair in front of the prisoner's door, with a riot gun in his hand. In response to menacing telephone calls and threats of violence, the Sheriff said: "The law says prisoners entrusted to my custody are entitled to protection and I will protect the Negro to the best of my ability. Personally I think he should be hung, but it should be by due process of law and not by an angry mob of irresponsible citizens. Any man who will engage in mob violence is not a law-abiding citizen and he will obtain no consideration from me. "I am not going to tolerate the slightest foolishness. If a mob comes to this jail and attempts to storm it I will shoot to kill and the chances are that there will be 15 or 20 persons wiped out before they george. "It would be an everlasting disgrace to the good citizens of this community if there should be mob violence of any attempt at mob violence. Most of the citizens are law-abiding and this community isn't controlled by mob rule. Why should a Negro be lynched just because he is a Negro? If a white man had committed the same atrocious crime there wouldn't be any talk of a necktie party. "I took an oath to enforce the law. Negroes are entitled to fair play and that's what I intend that shall be in my office." EDENTON Edenton, N.

SHAW DROPS GRADE WORK; EMPHASIS ON COLLEGE COURSE All Below Fourth Year Academy Dispensed With; Sets Pace For Colleges Maintained by Baptist Society. Raleigh, N. C.—Shaw University opened for another school year, with fine spirit, on September 21. As the institutions has now cut off all grades below the fourth year in the Academy, it sets the pace for the colleges maintained by the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and indeed for all the Southeast. Special interest attached to the entering class. The rapid advance of education in the State of North Carolina in recent years, with the placing of not less than forty-three Negro high schools on the accredited list, has given a new impetus to college work; and this year very nearly one hundred students have entered the Freshman class at Shaw. New Science Hall Opened The new Science Hall is this year used for the first time. Standing on the west side and facing east, the building adds greatly to the appearance of the campus, while the well equipped laboratories and commodious classrooms have given new dignity and efficiency to the work. And improvement is being the library. Here the space has been doubled; the curatorian, Miss French has installed a system that makes for a much more efficient handling of the books; and the facilities now afforded the student for study and research greatly exposed those in the ordinary college in the South Changes In Faculty There have been several changes in the faculty. Of special interest to the student body was the fact that Professor Robert B. of the department of Physics, required special work at Ohio State University with the degree of Master of Science. One of the features of the regular college work is the use this year of a book by the teacher in one of the required courses of the Sophomore year. This is "A New Survey of English Literature," by Professor Benjamin Brawley, a work that just recently has been published by Alfred A. Knopw, Inc. of New York. Professor Brawley's publications are now well known and have seen service at colleges and normal schools throughout the country, Harvard and Chicago being only two of the better known institutions that use his books as texts. Shaw University has had a most auspicious opening, and President Peapock and Dean Turner are looking forward to the most successful term in the history of the college. Recent graduates have this fall entered Cornell, Chicago, and other institutions, and the institution is just now coming into the larger fame that it deserves.

DANCE SAYS EVOLUTION STRIKES WITHOUT ANY AVAIL “Scholars have been diving into the sea of evolution more deeply for the last six months but have failed to bring to the surface one point sufficient to substantiate the doctrine that man is a monkey descendant,” said Dr. B. W. Dance last Sunday morning at the Third Baptist church. He was using as a text Gen. 1:11 and emphasizing the words, “after his kind.” “Man is both a human and divine being. As a believer in Christ he is more spiritual than human, he is a new creature. All things are passed away and now the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. As an unbeliever he is more humorous than spiritual, he has more faith in things seen than in things not seen and hence comes the great exponents of the theory of evolution,” declared the speaker. "It is a law of nature to believe in the teachings and traditions of the fathers, many of which are erroneous, but when men become more spiritually minded they will believe more in the Bible, the word of God than in science, the word of man. "Charles Darwin with all of his pigeon, muskrat, hawk, sparrow, and many other illustrations failed to prove the impossible, that is, the evolution of man. He scended from man, Adam was either from man himself, and the man race began with him or chronology failed to begin at the beginning or proper time and leaves an unrecorded space of creation reaching from the creation of monkey up to the time of Adam. Evolutionists should tell the reading world whether or not Adam was the monkey and if he not, they should give an account of the undated space of time from the creation of monkey to the birth of Adam if he descended from a monkey. They should also be able to make the proper connections and link up the generations of mankind in order throughout the undated time just as the generations can be traced from Adam to Noah; from Noah to Adam; from Abraham to David; from David to Babylon; from Babylon to Christ; and if Adam was the monkey's first born leaving no inference for previous generations then that should be cleared up" said Dr. Dance. "The dust of the earth from which all living creatures are made engenders a relationship between them all. But I don't believe that all animals evolved from one single protoplasmic cell. I believe that each race of creatures had separate and distinct ancestors according to the teachings of God's word. "If man descended from a monkey, God must have meant monkey when he said, 'Let us make man,' and we would have to substitute the word man with the word monkey and let it read, 'Let us make monkey in our image.' A descentant is not a man at the time of his birth or creation, but a born offspring. Adam was created a full grown man because he was without ancestors. Jesus Christ was born a child, a descentant because he had ancestors. The evolution of man destroys the virgin birth of Jesus and the monkey flesh for the creation of the Son of God. The doctrine that man evolved from monkey either codifies the monkey with a soul or infuses the psyche of man. "Lamarck, Darwin, Wallace, Weisman and all the doctrine of science will never-harm the man who believes in the teachings of the Bible. Evolution is like a serpent without fangs, strikes without avail. The Bible is enough for me." The pastor will preach next Sunday morning from the theme "Bobbed hair and short skirts." MT. HERMON PROVIDENCE A. M. E. ZION CHURCH The Sunday School was well attended. At 11:30 the pastor preached a very sermon from Zach. 4:9 verse. At 3:30 he with his congregation worshipped at Rev. F. M.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER The Beautiful Temple of El Jerra Arabia Petraca is the name given to that part of the prairie of Arabia that lies between the two gulfs of the Red Sea. Here were the mountains of Skaiai and Horeb from whence amidst the thunders Israel is said to have received her laws. Here, too, dwelt the Midianites, one of several black tribes, to whom Moses fled from Egypt and resided forty years, keeping the flocks of his black father-in-law, Jethro. It is no wonder then that travelers who would visit the Holy Land come in great numbers to Petra and there wander among the scenes that hold such memories. But the wonder of all the wonders is the beautiful rock hewn Temple of Petra, reserved not to any diety of the Bible but to Isis, the mythical black goddess of old Egypt. The Arabs call it Rl-Khazniz (the treasury) from a legend that treasures were hid in the arm dinly seen at the top of the facade. This beautiful temple stands in the opening of the narrow gorge between the desert and the rock hills of Petra. It is sculptured entirely from the living rock, not one piece of stone being added to that which nature left there. It measures 65 feet from the ground and even in its ruins stands out as one of the most beautiful temples of antiquity. It is as classic as the temples of Greece, but the Greeks never carved a temple out of a hill. That is why travelers want to see Rl-Khazniz and why they never forget it. On a cloudless day red ants have been seen to come out of their nests carrying their eggs, and migrate to higher ground. Porphyri-eight later rain flooded the old nests, but the wise ants with their ability to forecast the weather were safe. HOW TO MAKE OTHERS LOVE YOU Charm and two kisses when you give us a smile.

The Ministers' Union promised to support her to the extent of either $30 or $60 per month. Each of our churches promised to give her an offering monthly. Only one of these good churches has complied with their faithful promises, so far as we have heard. Mrs. Jordan writes: "I am delighted with my boys and girls, not because they have to be looked after by a probation office, but because I am one of the faithful servants appointed to serve for them. It if were for money, no one could hire me for the work. It is for the children who come or are sent to me. I have had six cases that I found that I well disposed of without taking them to court. I think the best of all is, my faith in the Christ. "I have had four boys and five girls paroled to me during the last quarter; 34 visited; two girls to the State school; one to the State hospital, and one to the county to her people.

Bloodhound Proves Faulty Bloodhound Proves Faulty Bloodhound evidence, which several States with progressive sleuthing systems and criminal codes have long ago outlawed, again showed its unreliability when two young men, Claude Worley, 21, of Cloverdale, and Melvin Miller, 22, of Bottecourt county, Va., confessed to the slaying of Miss Mary Dixon, 16, on the night of September 7. For the crime two other young men, Frank Mauk and Claude Arthur, had been indicted and were awaiting trial for murder, when the alleged confessions of Worley and Miller were made. The indicted young men were trailed by bloodhounds. All of the parties are white people. Miss Dixon in company with her cousin and two young men of Roanoke, Va., was riding in an automobile on Hollins road on the night of September 7, when two young men are alleged to have flashed a light into car and a moment later the car and a monument later fired through the rear curtain striking her in the head. She died a few hours later. Mauk and Arthur were run down by bloodhounds that night and had since been held in jail at Fincastle, Va. It is recalled that on occasions without number colored persons have been run down by bloodhounds in Southern communities and sent to their deaths on the evidence.

TUNNEL CAVE-IN Richmond, Va.—The greatest castrophe occurring here in many seasons happened Friday afternoon when the old C. and O. tunnel, in which a large gang of engineers and laborers were working, caved in catching any number of the workmen in the landslide and buried them alive in the tunnel. The tunnel which was built several years ago, had not been used for the regular passage of trains for a very long time. Running along the entire East End, beginning at 19th street, it was more than a mile long and was at one time the main line of the C. and O. Railroad. The worst of the landslide happened directly under Jefferson Park, where ordinarily many children play on the beautiful hillside of a well kept lawn. Many conflicting estimates of the men buried under the earth have been made. While there is still a number of men missing, it cannot be said definitely how many lost their lives until the tunnel h a s been cleared. The railroad officials say their records account for all of the men except two. Many of the residents living within the vicinity of the tunnel are fearful lest their be another cave-in. There are great yawning cracks farther up the park and to the east of the spot where the collamity occurred, some of them 4 to 5 feet wide and a hundred feet long. Prof. Daniel Returns From Europe, Gives Interesting Lecture Richmond, Va.---Prof. Robert P. Daniel, who has just returned from Europe where he has been traveling for several months as a representative of the Y. M. C. A. to the Youth Movement for world peace, delivered a splendid lecture at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Sunday night. Mr. Daniel gave an interesting outline of his travels through the nine different countries in which the commission with which he traveled had business. He was one of the two colored commissioned to take the trip with several white students. Mr. Daniel said he attended all of the conferences, which were many and close together, but was not discriminated against in a single instance. He is a member of the faculty of Union University, and the regular services were dispensed with by the pastor, Rev. Stokes, so that the congregation might hear the lecture. Workmen Uncover Hidden Dungeon Richmond, Va.----Hundreds of people whose curiosity had been aroused by the report that an underground prison had been unearthy by excavators, who were cutting out a foundation in the rear of the old Hennco county jail preparatory to adding on to the tobacco factory next door, have crowded the space in the rear of the prison to see the sights that have been dug up. Great stone walls forming cells with giant iron gratings and bars built into them have been uncovered. Handcuffs and ankle chains and many relies of an old time jail have been taken from this hidden prison. There seems to be no way of knowing just how old is this hidden dungeon. Old records have been searched but nothing has been traced as yet. Some people are of the belief that it is a part of a hidden dungeon used in connection with the Henrico jail, because it is several feet below the surface of the jail, and just in the rear of it. Others believe that it dates back further than the Henrico jail, which is itself about two hundred years old. ORPHAN HOME RAZED ORPHAN HOME RAZED Rice Memorial Home / for Colored Orphans at Highland Park, N.J., was razed by fire shortly before 10 o'clock Friday night October 3, when a 13-year-old boy upset an oil stove and the woodwork caught fire. The boy was bathing in the bath room when he upset the stove. He tried to extinguished the blaze, failing this, he went to bed without notifying the nurses. Later roused by the cracking flames gnawing at the frame structure, the nurses led the youngsters to safety. NEGRO WOMEN IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS Miss Odessa Faulkner Says Dr.Fred Palmer's SkinWhitener Best Facial Preparation Known JOURNAL, AND GUIDE BUREAU 1212 St. John Street I212 St. John Street Rev. Scott C. Burrell Critically Injured By Automobile Richmond, Va.-Rec. Scott C. Burrell, who has been secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for thirty years, was knocked down, run over and critically injured by an automobile at the corner of Second and Leigh streets, Friday night, about 8:30 o'clock. He was rushed to the Richmond Hospital, where his injuries are reported as precarious. Eyewitnesses to the accident said that both wheels of the car passed over Mr. Burrell's body and that when someone yelled, the driver became excited and backed the machine over the body again. The victim's jaw bone was broken and the bone protruded through the skin. His shoulder bone was broken and that splintered through the skin and out through his clothing; one of his eyes was said to have been knocked nearly out. Bystanders picked up the injured man who was bleeding profusely, but still conscious. He was said to have remarked: "I know this is my finish." Dr. George White, who had been summoned to render first aid, rushed him off to the hospital; where it is said everything known to medical science is being done to save his life. The minimum uni wage of hotel waitresses in New York is $15 a week, to which are added meals and tips. Washington, D. C.-Among the interesting visitors in the city the past week was Mrs. John W. Hoffman, of Ossing, N. Y., who was the guest of Misses Moten, in R. street, northwest. Mrs. Hoffman is president of the National Federation of Women's Clubs in Westchester county, and was prominently identified with the political work in her county during the last campaign. She is a member of the county and State committee. Mrs. Henrietta Williams, of Chicago, Ill., executive secretary for the women's aid society, and secretary of the Home for Aged stopped over for a visit with Mrs. Grace Lucas Thompson, of the Dudley Apt., enroute to Virginia, where she will be the guest of relatives and friends. Mrs. Williams spent a day sightseeing in and around Washington. Mrs. George S. Williams, National Committeewoman from Georgia, is now a full-fledged member of the Republican National Committee by reason of the death of Henry Lincoln Johnson, who was National Committennan. It is the first time a woman has served in this capacity, and unless a National Committeeman is appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Johnson, she will so remain. Mrs. M. C. Lawton, of Brooklyn, N. Y., was enforced by the Eastern Division Auxiliary Committee, at their recent meeting in Providence, R. I., for the position made vacant by the death of Mrs. Helen Gardner on the United States Civil Service Commission, a few days ago, President Coolidge, appointed Miss Jessie Dell, of Georgia, who is a democrat, so it is up to Mrs. Lawton to find another opening which he filled by a Republican woman.

Tuesday Mrs. Cornelia Scott, an aged woman, was run down by an automobile driven by a white woman and sustained injuries from which she died thirty minutes later. The accident was said to have been unavoidable on account of a closed-in walk way in front of a building being constructed at the corner of Fourth and Grace Streets, which obstructed the view of the driver of the car as well as that of the pedestrian. Prepare For Chest Fund Campaign Richmond, Va.---The colored people of the city have begun making preparations for the next Community Fund Drive which is to be instituted next month. At a meeting held in the Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the Y. W. C.

LaFollette was elected to succeed his father in the Federal Senate at the age of thirty and a bit more. He was elected by a landslide. He was a Republican, as his father was, in the contest but the National Republican Committee repudiated him and he will be snubbed in the Senate assignment of soft snaps, but we think he will make his way as his father did, as he is a chip off the old block. Makes High Score Again In a careful analysis including The Chicago Defender, The Negro World, The Norfolk Journal and Guide, The Attenta Independent and The Houston Informer, made by Prof. Guy B. Johnson, (white) and published in The Journal of Social Force, issued by the University of North Carolina the Journal and Guide outranks the Defender, The Negro World and The Attenta Independent in Class "A" advertising. Other just as competent authorities have already ranked the Journal and Guide ahead of all those first-rate papers and their three hundred or more contemporaries besides, in editorial value and mechanical excellence. The Journal and Guide is just a dog-gone good newspaper, and we don't have to say it ourselves in order to get it told. Readers and advertisers are rapidly recognizing the merit of this paper as shown in our increasing circulation and advertising clientele. The Vice Crusade Hope that vice conditions in certain up-town districts complained of by a number of citizens will be speedily remedied is raised by the salutary blow struck at these practices by the police Friday night in the arrest of two offenders, who were heavily fined. Fines and jail sentences will clear the streets of immoral women who make a business of trafficking on the public thoroughfare. That the police co-operation assured the committee who waited on Director of Public Safety Borland regarding the matter a few days ago, is forthcoming, is evidenced by the arrests of Friday night. The police will be encouraged to go the limit in breaking up the nuisance if the public will do its part, appear when necessary as prosecuting witnesses against those arrested. Soliciting for immoral purposes anywhere by degenerate women is offensive at all times to the better class of citizens, but when it is carried almost to the church door such as has been going on in the vicinity of St. John's A. M. E. Church, it becomes outrageous. Leaders Who Desert The Helpless Masses We have always admired the Greek and Roman commanders who preferred death by suicide rather than desert their soldiers in defeat or to fall into the hands of the enemy. And we always have had a sort of contempt for the European commanders, of whom Napoleon was the most shameful example, who preferred to run away, saving their miscrabe "souls alive," when defeated, leaving their soldiers to make the best of it in the retreat. And have you ever read the thrilling story of the retreat of Napoleon's million soldiers, with the slaughter of most of them from Moscow? It is almost as heart-rending as the retreat of the Greek tenthousand under Xenophon. Talking about Rev. C. M. Long's leaving his flock in Norfolk for a less numerous congregation and smaller salary in the North because of the hard conditions which have come to hedge about the race in Norfolk and which got on Rev. Long's nerves, even as they are on ours most of the time but without mastering us, the Baltimore Afro-American says: Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the historian, describes the migration as the safety valve movement by which the Southern Negro maintains his equilibrium. Constantly oppressed and tormented by his stronger white brother, hatred and anger within him heat to the boiling point. There must be either a boiling over, and explosion or a fight Northward, where the outside pressure is not so great. For those who elect to remain in the South under unfavorable circumstances, we recall the cele- Editorial Page of laborated reply of Harriet Tubman to Frederick Doughlass, discouraged over the seeming failure of the abolition movement before the war. Said she, "Frederick, is God Dead?" Far greater respect, however, have we for the radi- icals and pioneers, who are willing to sacrifice the home ties and the association of life long friends, in order to carve out a new destiny in a fairer land. We can understand why large numbers of the mass should become discouraged and adopt "the safety valve" Dr. Woodson says it is of "a flight northward, where the outside pressure is not so great." We respect these failures, who prove they are not strong enough to conquer in the places where they were born and reared in the same way that we respect the European "down and out" who seeks asylum in the United States from the hardships he was not strong enough to overcome in his home land; that is to say, our respect resolves itself into a form of sympathy, which is not far removed from pity. The line dividing pity from contempt is very thin. A great many people have followed the Migrant trail from the South to the North and West but they have not been the strong men and women of the race who stand by their inheritance in the human and economic values in the South and by making the most of them compel the respect of those who think the Negro is a negligible factor in the life of the South, if not in his own life. In doing this they are a protection for the great mass which in no race group does its own thinking and planning except through their exceptional leaders. "The radical pioneers" who run away and for whom the Afro-American has "far greater respect than for those who remain and fight it out, in the South, are far from being the pick of the Southern race group. They have been the "down and outs" in intelligence and property with here and there a person of the leadership type, and our men and women of light and leading have had a hard time of it looking after them and their interests in the North and West where they have gone. The records of the Urban League and other race uplift organizations in the North and West will show this to be so. All honor to the brave men and women of the race who are doing the high work of leadership in every avenue of thought and effort among our group in the South and who are determined to stand fast and fight it out with the great helpless mass and to labor always for a better condition of affairs in the life of the race in the South. "A Study In News Values" Discussing the point raised by this paper that newspapers of the opposite race almost invariably stress Negro crime and suppress Negro achievements the Virginian Pilot says: "There is a factor at work in the present disparity that has not directly to do with the question of racial identity. It is the circumstance that in the South colored readers form a very small proportion of a newspaper's circulation." It is pointed out that crime news holds an interest for everyone without regard to race, which gives Negro crimes preference over Negro achievement for white readers. As to the relative proportion of Negro readers it may be said that Negroes are growing rapidly in race consciousness and the very fact that most of what they read in many of the papers is uncomplimentary to them acts as an inhibition to their reading of that class of papers. It also accounts, perhaps, for the rapid growth of circulation among Negro papers during the past few years. It is not generally known that one Negro paper, published in Chicago, has a circulation exceeding 150,000 copies each issue. At the present rate of growth there will be several in that class within the next few years. As to the news value of crimes of the general run attributed to Negroes it is true in many instances that when the crime is dissociated from race it loses its importance. Such was true of the celebrated Kane murder that occurred in Brooklyn last Summer and the more recent atrocious Daly case in New Jersey, both of which were highly sensational front page features in the larger metropolitan papers until it was proved beyond a doubt that the murderers were not Negroes. Ordinarily when the perpetrator of a crime is not a Negro it has little sustained news value, unless it has a sex appeal, as was true of the Leopold and Leob case in Chicago and London's bamboozled Indian Prince, referred to by the Virginian-Pilot. Omit the word Negro and the story loses its magic. In the final analysis the whole question turns upon the degree to which the Negro is an economic asset—to newspapers as readers and to advertisers as buyers. There are twelve million Negroes in the United States. Illiteracy among them is now the exception rather than the rule, especially in the urban centers. They eat, wear, clothes, use fuel to keep themselves warm and for other necessary purposes. Many of them have culture and aesthetic tastes and some of them have wealth and require many of the so-called luxuries as well as the necessities of life. It is the opinion of most thoughtful Negroes that their potential buying power is either overlooked or discounted, for various reasons, most of which have no basis in ordinary justice or in economic laws. In the observations of the Virginian-Pilot, there is one very hopeful note, that in any careful examination of the problem "the development will unquestionably be in the direction of less exploitation of Negro crime and greater publicity to Negro achievement." Already a tendency in that direction has been noted, not only in our Norfolk papers, but in many of the larger papers throughout the South. Spirit of the Press Tco Busy To Spend The Money He Makes From Neura World. Mr. Samuel M. Vauclain, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, at Philadelphia, speaking to 700 pioneer workers, told them that he accumulated money because he was too busy to spend what he earned. "If you take too much time off to spend your earnings you can't accumulate, and it is intended for one to accumulate. I always saved money, and why? Because I never had time to spend what I earned, and it accumulated." Mr. Vauclain also said that he early learned that it was his business and his duty to do all the work which came to him and do it in the very best manner that he was able to do it. The person who works because he loves work and who saves because he has not time to spend what he earns, will always have plenty of work and plenty of money. Try it. It is worth while. Shepherds Desert Their Flocks Kim, Washington, Tribune Were we called upon to define education, we should say, Real education is knowing what you want, where to get it, how to use it; and then using it so as to effect the best results for the good of all concerned. One who is truly educated does not shirk when conditions are depressing. One so educated does not desert the field of much needed labor as did the Rev. C. M. Long of Norfolk, Va., who left his parish because he could no longer combat the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan. But the educated man dedicates his life and service to the success or the consummation of his ideal. And it is because of the lack of sincere, intelligent "activity" on the part of those who lay claim to education that this season creates in us a dissatisfaction. Our educators seem to be following the line of least resistance: producing encyclopaedic minds—minds possessing a multitude of facts and theories and past interpretation, instead of training pupils to interpret present conditions and creating in them a desire to act for the common weal. They are therefore sending forth minds lacking in initiative and thus collecting, rather than dispersing, the intellectual, and financial, and political clouds of depression which darken our tomorrow. "A Study In News Values" From Virginian Pilot. The Norfolk Journal, and Guide's editorial page was in a recent national competition voted the best among American Negro newspapers. So far as our limited observation of Negro papers goes this encomium is deserved. The Norfolk paper is edited with intelligence, discrimination and fine restraint. These are qualities that entitle it to a hearing when it discusses problems arising from this country's racial duality. Why, it asks, that the same white newspaper that dismissed with a few lines and a small caption the death of Henry Lineoln Johnson, one of the most eminent political leaders of the colored race, gave liberal space and a hold black head to the news of the arrest of a "colored alleged burghar." Here, it concludes, is "another phase of Southern psychology which Negroes do not comprehend." The problem here presented is an old one and we do not pretend to have the complete answer to it, nor would we risk, predicting its future. The deploement will unquestionably be in the direction of less exploitation of Negro crime and greater publicity for Negro achievement. It is not entirely a question of race. There is a factor at work in the present disparity that has not directly to do with the question of racial identity. It is the circumstance that in the South colored readers form a very small proportion of a newspaper's total circulation. Since the general rule holds that a story is worth for the newspapers what it is worth for its readers, it is to be expected that the obituaries of Negro politicians, eminent and worthy though they may have been, will not be gone into at length for a body of readers for whom he holds only casual interest. Crime, of course, has a direct human appeal, regardless of color, nativity or origin. Witness the heavy exploitation in America of the Paris "bluebeard" and London's bambooled Indian prince. One way to help redress the balance between unpleasant Negro publicity and the other kinds of Negro publicity, is for Negroes to become newspaper readers. Let the Negroes of a community begin to figure in force as a body of advertisement and news readers, and economic law will see to it that the newspapers will not unduly slight the legitimate news in which they are interested. COMMUNISM COME INSKY MAGRO LABOR NEGRO LABOR CONGRESS VS. SANHEDRIN NEGRO LABOR CONGRESS VS. SANHEDRIN RACE PRIDE And COSMETICS RACE PRIDE And COSMETICS BY BEYWOOD HALL The American Negro Labor Congress which convenes in Chicago, October 25th, marks a new epoch in the history of Negro Labor. It will be the first time in the world history that a similar body has been formed. In consideration of the fact that 98 per cent of the Negro group in America are wage workers, this body will be more representative of the Race than was the Sanhedrin, which met here a little over a year ago. The Sanhedrin was strictly a From Opportunity Magazine. Guy B. Johnson, a white Southerner with an inquiring turn of mind, has stumbled upon a curious anamoly in the self-feeling of Negroes. He asks in the Journal of Social Forces "Have hair straighteners and skin lighteners become permanent features of the Negro culture?" There is nothing impatient about this question, for it is supported by a most interesting assortment of information. He took five representative newspapers: The Chicago Defender, The Negro World, The Norfolk Journal and Guide, The Atlanta Independent, and The Houston (Texas) Informer, and studied their advertising on the theory that advertisers will not continue to spend money to exhibit their wares without some commensurate profit. Of these advertisements he made three divisions: Class A, which included advertisements of clothing, food, fuel, houses and real estate, medical and professional services, insurance and savings,—necessities; Class B, which included books, magazines, newspapers, music and musical instruments, theatres, amusements and colleges,—the cultural things; and Class C, which included beauty preparations, patent medicines, cheap jewelry, firearms, good luck emblems, clairvoyance,—the elemental desires. The preponderant majority of the advertisements of this class are of the skin and hair adjusters referred to above. And here is the result: An interpretation of these figures would doubtless draw hot protests from many Negroes and gleeful snickers from many whites who see in them nothing else but a desire on the part of the Negroes to be white. If the proportions mean anything, we have the very interesting situation of the most race conscious papers, like The Chicago Defender, and The Negro Saturday, October 10, 1925 petty bourgeois group and its interests were with there of the Negro petty bourgeois and not with that of the great Negro proletariat. This was shown by the fact that during the whole time it convened only a small portion of its time was allotted to the important question of Negro labor. This question should be paramount with any group that professes to have the welfare of the Negro at heart. The Negro is beginning to realize that organization is the only World (organ of the Garvey movement) giving greatest emphasis to the mechanism for obliterating racial characteristics, and the Southern Negro papers giving emphasis to the normal necessities of life. It is an observation worth pondering. Divorcing the matter, however, from its more ridiculous impla- mations, we have a situation, undoubtedly true, which reflects the tragic dual life of the Negro in this country. Modes and fashions to which they are exposed consult the tastes of the dominant majority. There are no special Negro styles, and the penalty of non-conformity here as elsewhere bears down with even greater severity than the bitter ridicule directed at an incongruous attempt at conformity. Right or wrong, if crinkly hair and shiny black features are the butt of Nordic ridicule, it can be understood why the commonality of Negroes will seek to change these features, and thus contribute to their chances for success in a country in which circumstances force them to live, philosophy be hanged. Rationalizations such as are facially provided by the manufacture of cosmetics, easily follow. It is all an unconscious protest against an inferior status, and this type of protest is not confined to Negroes. Dr. Alfred Adler, Veinsee scholar and neurologist in a recent interview published in the *Near York Times*, said as much of the custom now current among women of bobbing their hair. Whatever the reasons given, such as ease in handling, neatness, health and the like, back of it all is a protest against the inferior status assigned to them by man—and the desire to minimize the difference between the sexes, by becoming more like him. Woman does not want to be man—but she wants his freedom. The analogy, one may reasonably argue, carries with the Negro. way to effectively combat the forces that are at work against him. The realization of this fact by the Negro workers is beginning to be a source of anxiety to the capitalists and their benchmen of the daily press. That this awakening of the Negro masses is a source of growing concern among the capitalists has been amply demonstrated by articles and editorials of these same capitalist newspapers. The policies these papers pursue when they do mention the Negro at all (and that is usually to magnify some petty crime than an individual Negro commits as a racial stigma) has been to use a sarcastic and ironic tone, always trying to belittle any attempt on the part of the Negro at self-assertion. These policies will be continued as long as the Negro remains unorganized. But now that he is beginning to learn the proper solution of the problem, that is, organization in the projectarian movement of the world, their concern becomes apparent. These articles also show that they have woefully underestimated the intelligence of the Negro masses. The Negro should not be fooled by the hypocritical attitude adopted by these papers in their willingness to offer advice. He should see that their advice to him to follow their old leaders is a terrible indictment against these same leaders. Therefore, the only safe policy for the Negro to pursue is that policy which is in direct opposition to this advice. We have great cause to doubt the sincerity of this advice by the lateness of its appearance. Self preservation has forced the Negro into his present position, and no force at the command of the capitalists can keep him from taking his rightful place among the proletariat of the world. Business Principles More and more each year students of our race group are being graduated by the business school. We have learned through economic discrimination and disfranchisement that a group, community, or race can only hope to achieve a place among the other leading races through their ability to trade. In other words a race rises to a preeminent place through its commercial activity. Modern business is a science just as is medicine or dentistry, and to be conducted successfully it must be conducted along scientific lines. It was a very popular idea among people of our race to have the preacher; the doctor, the dentist, or the lawyer head any business, organization formed." An individual might have been successful in any of these professions and have made a poor business man became was out of his element. The conditions in business the methods used are constantly changing. The method one year might be obsolete; machinery installed an expense of millions is set and sold for junk for imp models. All this cost has met by business and pro among every customer of the enterprise. So keen is comp that the price and quality, product offered must be in with the price of the same product offered by other comp. If the price is too high, the will find itself in financial difficulties. To anticipate and cessfully solve these problems for keen business trac To put a man at the he such an enterprise who has trained in the medical and expect it to succeed a height of folly.
