FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED Washington, D. C.—During the session of the sixty-ninth Conv., which will convene next day, December 7, many questions of special interest to colored Americans will be addressed. The congress will be ready to announce the annual message of the resident on Tuesday, December It is forecast that it will con a paragraph with sole reference to the Negro, urging that he addressed his full rights and provided from all impositions especially the crime or lynching. A year ago the President made a recommendation, but no legislation based upon it was enacted the Congress. Several bills, never were introduced. It is why that identical bill will be introduced in this Congress. The Dyer Bill Representative L. C. Dyer, Redean, of Missouri, will introduce a bill to assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every law protection of the human life, the crime of lynching. This bill will be lynched in the Senate by a Democratic filibuster in the sixty-seventh Congress. Meditiststanding a Republican loyalty in both houses, there is possibility of the Dyer antit- histanding bill becoming a law as as the rules governing it, as the rules governing debate, as fact will make the fight in the site for a cloture rule particu- larly interesting to colored per- Other Bills her bills which will be inter- fered a bill to create a Negro Social Commission and a bill to monument to Negro sol- dars. the industrial commission bill provide for a commission of persons, three of whom shall colored; to be appointed by the advent.

The duties of this commission would be to study economic con- dition and labor problems affecting Negro, to discourage Boh- mine wherever it may exist and formulate a policy of mutual understanding and confidence be- tween the races.

Aged Woman Leaves $30,000.00 Estate Mrs. Kate Whelan, of Danville, Ky., the second oldest ex-slave of that State, has just died, leaving an estate valued at $30,000. Mrs. Whelan had spent her entire life in domestic service, either as a slave of for hire. Every colored person and most of the whites in the town knew her, and had for her the utmost respect and admiration. For years she lived in an old frame house adjoining the white First Christian Church in West Main street, and spite of the encroachment of progress, steadfastly to move. Her old frond dwelling presents a curious intrast with the present scene of the neighborhood. JURY FAILS TO AGREE IN THE SWEET CASE JURY FAILS TO AGREE IN THE SWEET CASE Darrow Demands Bail For All Defendants After Disagreement Follows Forty-six Hour Jury Wrangle. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM WILL BE CONTINUED After 46 hours of violent argument, which could be heard sometimes by persons outside the jury room, the jury in the case of Dr. Ossian H. Swetf and 10 other defendants of Detroit, disagreed. It was rumored that five jurors had stood for acquittal and seven for acquittal of eight defendants and conviction of second degree murder for three of the defendants. The jury dismissed at 1:31 p.m. on Friday, November 27 p., and shortly thereafter Mr. Darrow filed a motion for a new trial and made a second motion that all eleven defendants be admitted to bail for the trial has been agreed to. Eight of the defendants were at once admitted to bail on $5,000 each furnished by the colored citizens of Detroit, but opposition from the prosecutor in the case of the remaining three. led Judge Frank Murphy to set Wednesday, Dec. 2, for argument. Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, Henry Sweet and Leonard Morris are the remaining three. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced in connection with the news of the disagreement and the motion for a new trial that it would fight the case while there was any court in the land to appeal to until the 11 colored people were acquitted. All eleven of the defendants were charged with murder in connection with the death of Leon F. Breiner, white, last September 9, when a white mound of which Breiner is alleged to have been a member, stormed the Sweet home in an attempt to force them to vacate the house which is reported to be in an exclusive white neighborhood. The defense contended that the defendants fired the volley of shots which is alleged to have been fired the day before. And further that a man's home is his castle and that he has a right to protect it. "To me this case is a cross section of history and a study of human emotions." declared Mr. Darrow. "It involves the future and the hope of some of us that the future shall be better than the past." In speaking of the 11 defendants, Mr. Darrow, said "I speak not only for them but for a race which, however you may do, will go on and on to heights never reached before. I speak for a million Negroes, who have some hope and faith remaining in the institutions of the land. I speak to you in behalf of those whose ancestors were brought here in chains. I speak in behalf of faces, in faces which have haunted this courtroom ever since this trial began. I ask you in bohalf of yourselves, our race, to see that no harm comes to them. I ask you in the name of the future to do justice in this case." Denounces Lynching Hattiesburg, Miss., Dec. 3—The North Mississippi Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Couth, in session in the city, went to the University of Oklahoma for examination of lynching and all other forms of mob violence Directs Society of Musical Art A. E. ASK SUPPORT FOR MUSICAL ART SOCIETY ASK SUPPORT FOR MUSICAL ART SOCIETY R. Nathaniel Dett Issues Open Letter To Citizens. In Be half of Hampton's Entertainment Schedule. The Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute, of which Dr. R. Nathaniel Dutt, is director, addresses an open letter to its friends in the community, in which the aims of the Society are outlined and the public support asked. The Society's letter is provoked by certain murders in regard to the management of Ogden Hall, and it reads as follows: "Because of the apparent misunderstanding of the policy of Hampton Institute in regard to the management of Ogden Hall (the school chapel and auditorium) the Musical Art Society addresses this letter to its friends in the community who admire what is noble and who realize that in arts there are not distinctions because of race, creed or color. Aims Of Society "The Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute is an outgrowth of the Hampton Choral Union, and is a self-perpetuating student organization in charge of the Director of Music who, in cooperation with the students, organized it about five years ago to stimulate greater interest in music and to guarantee the success of high class pre-eminent performers, the emphasis being on those who are closely associated with music. It was not long before the organization received official recognition and was made an integral part of the school. Value To Students "It is not necessary to rehearse the achievements of the Society, nor to call attention to the value of its operations to the students, teachers, and people of the community. We quote a front page article from the Daily Press of February 22, 1925, regarding the concert by the Dennis-Shawn dancers: "In the vast audience of probably 3,000 people from Newport, New Hampton, Fremont, Fort Rosebush, Langley, Field and Fort Eustis, which many came down from Williamsburg." "It was, as stated, a most unique dance performance, and one that will go down as another good rea- (Continued on Page Three.) DANGER IN THE ASPIRATIONS OF RACES SEEN City Host to State Teachers Ass'n In Three-day Meeting Congressman Theo. E. Burton, of Ohio, Warns Virginians of the Problem of Relations Between Groups. LIBERAL STATE OF MIND NECESSARY Representative Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, came to Virginia, almost within a stone's throw of the section where certain elements seem to be bent on fostering agitation that might possibly strain the race relations in this State, and made a speech in which was couched a warning of the dangers of over-sensitive nationalism and racial intolerance. Representative Burton spoke before the Virginia Educational Conference in the city auditorium Friday night. He said that the creation of a rational state of mind among citizens of the world will go farther toward establishing and maintaining universal peace than treaties and world courts. After describing conditions in three sectors of Europe which are disturbing world peace, Mr. Burton sounded a warning, saying, "it may be stated that these are but parts of the much larger problem of the relations between the nations of the Caucasus race and other races, which have increasing aspirations as the years pass by. These latter derive encouragement from the destructive effects of the late war and the quarrels between the nations engaged in it. Some of the less advanced nations agitators of the less advanced nations are even spreading the saying that the time is coming when peoples, who have been practically under Caucasus domination, will assume such strength that they can 'put the Caucasus to bed.'" WANT MORE LAWS TO SEPARATE RACES WANT MORE LAWS TO SEPARATE RACES Members Of Anglo-Saxon Clubs Want Jim-Crow Statutes Extended To School Chapels. The first step toward securing legislation regulating theouting of persons in private school chapels and auditoriums in Virginia was made Friday night, November 27 when a meeting held under the musics of the Hampton (city) chapter of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs adopted the following resolutions: The Rescolutions "He it resolved by 380 citizens of Elizabeth County, Virginia, in mass meeting assembled, that we protest against the doctrines and teachings of sound equity, with its result tendency toward racial amalgamation and the indiscriminate seating of whites and blacks in public assemblages, as fostered, fashioned and founded at Hopkins mat and Agrarian institute. And be it further resolved that we record ourselves as requested our representative in the legislature of Virginia, Capt. George Alvin Massenburg, to introduce a bill at the next session of the general assembly of Virginia, prohibit Do You Know How to Prepare Virginia Hams? The Journal and Guide is in receipt of a letter from Mr. George Bates Brown, of Brown's Columbia Gorge Camp, Hood River, Oregon, asking this paper to furnish him with recipe of the Virginia way of curing hams, also particulars how to bake them. The Journal and Guide kindly solicits the aid of its thousands of Virginia housewives and hog raisers in complying with Mr. Brown's request. If there are any persons off this generation who remember the good old way of preparing the good Virginia ham, they will certainly help greatly to advertise this State if they will send the recipe to George Bates Brown, Box 378, Hood River, Oregon. Mr. Brown's letter is just another indication of how widely The Journal and Guide is read. When you print it in this newspaper, you reach them practically everywhere. ing the mixing of audiences at public assemblages." The resolutions, it will be noted, are directed at Hampton Institute, which for the past several months has been the target of certain agitation for a school-made rule for the segregation of the students of the school whenever whites attended concerts given in the school chapel. The basis of the agitation is that because the same rules which apply to segregation of railroad passenger coaches and street cars as to the separation of races are not likewise enforced by the Institute authorities in their private assembly rooms, Hampton "teaches social equality." Whites are welcomed at the student and other recitals held at the school, and while no attempt is made to openly segregate the students in the school, the arguments in the second attempt upon the part of the administrative authorities to compel white visitors to sit with colored people. The practice of voluntary grouping has always obtained at Hampton affairs, and quite successfully and pleasantly so, in order despite the prosecution that being carried out by a wilful group of disturbed of race relations. Real Motive Removal of White Faculty Keen observers of the battles employed by the little group of willful agitators are convinced that their real motive is not to interfere with the internal affairs of Hampton Institute, but to remove the white faculty and administrative officers from the school Principal Gregg's group when he ignored certain questions prouced to him by the Newport News Daily Press.

The thirty-eighth annual conference of the Negro State Teachers' Association met in the auditorium of the new Booker T. Washington High School Thursday morning, the M. Gandy, president of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, presiding. The address of welcome was delivered by Assistant Superintendent of Schools, E. S. Brinkley, of Norfolk. Mr Brinkley called attention to the rapid strides that have been made in recent years in the field of education and dwelt upon the fact that if education is to continue at the pace now being set, full and adequate preparation should be made by teachers who are making teaching their life's work. Show Interest in Education In referring to the new Booker Washington High School building, recently erected, Mr. Brinkley made it known that this magnificent gift to the colored people of Norfolk by the Noeofkiel board as shown by them in the education of their young people, and further expressed the belief that similar buildings would be erected throughout the various communities of Virginia where there was a like interest manifested and available funds at the command of the school authorities. Principal Miss B. B. Jones, of the Lott Carey School, also delivered an address of welcome to the course of her works stressed the study of child in the relation of teachers to their school work as one of the essential features in the program of education, if school work is to be successful. Principal Grasty Responds The response by Principal W. F. Grastry, of the Westmoreland High School, Dunville, stressed the value of the ideas advanced by Mr. Brinkley to tothorough and adequate preparation and arousing interest among the laity united with the study of the child as a firm basis upon which to build up and make strong the work of education and the thereby producing obligations for the State and giving to the community better-types of men and women. Dr. Gandy next introduced R. S. Grossey, president of the State College for Colored Youth, Dover, Del. The speaker, who also heads the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, gave an interesting address on "Educational Values, declaring the national association of Teachers." Colored Schools was projected for the sole purpose of promoting the cause of education locally and nationally.

Price School during November made considerable progress in several projects started at the beginning of the term. Much of the work was on exhibit during the Teachers Association meeting and was favorably mentioned. Five patrons and friends visited the school during the month and encouraged the children in their work. The patrons' meeting had a large number of children present on account of the Drayco pictures that were shown. Misses Johnson and Perry have returned after a few days' illness. The district principals will meet in this building on Saturday, December 12. Patrons, please take notice. J. J. SMALLWOOD The first issue of the school paper was given to the public Tuesday of last week. The paper is called The Student. Mrs. Addie Drake, who is president of the Patrons' League, announces the opening of the Day Nursery, to help take care of the small children while mothers are at work, so the large children will not be called upon to stay away from school. The patrons have planned to canvass the district to see if all children of school age are in school. All classes contributed to the exhibit. All teachers subscribed to membership in the association. Miss M. E. Southall of this school was solitary on the program. All of the work for this school was placed on exhibition in their building Wednesday afternoon. Many visitors were welcomed during that time. The work will also be displayed during the week of December 7, at which time it is hoped all parents and friends will visit the school.

Power Company Improves Service Power Company Improves Service The Virginia Electric and Power Company has improved its office facilities on East Plume street; established a service bureau to look after the needs of its customers, where patrons are invited to go and discuss any questions they may have regarding the company's service; a sales department to advise its customers as to the best methods of obtaining the most convenience and economy from the use of gas and electricity, and a merchandising department to where many electrical and gas labor-saving appliances are demonstrated. In connection with the last named department a plan has been provided, whereby customers may purchase appliances on small monthly payments if desired. These added facilities established by the power company are in keeping with its recently announced policy of forming a cooperative partnership with the local public on all matters appertaining to the company's service and to community progress. The new electrical appliance display room was opened this week, and is hailed as the company's first step in improved service. The gas appliance store is expected to open about the first of February in the building adjoining the company's present location. The V. E. P. extends a cordial invitation to all of its patrons and prospective patrons to be the company's guest during the opening this week. The office will remain open every evening during the week from 7 to 9 o'clock.

Continuing, he discussed the "Relation of the Teacher to His Co-worker," and deplored the habit of the backbiting among teachers which he alluded to as fruitful source of pull back to the profession. In conclusion, the speaker stressed the necessity of the teacher as a model of behavior in the community, as the eyes of the pubs are continually upon the teacher. Unwavering interest by the more than 800 teachers attending the conference was manifested in Thursday night's program when W. D. Gresham, State Supervisor of Negro Education, spoke on the enrollment of colored children in rural schools. Dr. Gresham gave facts and figures showing a slight increase in enrollment of colored children during the present session over that of previous years, "yet" he declared, "it was by no means what it could be." He said the girls are taking advantage of educational opportunities because of the sacrifices the mothers were willing to make for them. Fathers, he said, seem unwilling to do as much for their boys. He deplored the scarcity of boys enrolled, and intimated the race could not produce capable leaders under prevailing conditions. Dr. John M. Gandy, gave interesting information indicating what the association had accomplished during the past year in the way of improving the grade of colored teachers throughout Virginia, and of efforts to inspire them to rise higher in the teaching profession. Dr. Gandy said the conference should outline definitely its objective in this its new field. He insisted that the convention indorse the Hi-Y movement now spreading throughout Virginia. Friday morning, Dr. Charles H. Judd, dean of the School of Education, Chicago University, addressed the conference on "Modern Methods of Teaching Reading." Dr. Judd told of the teaching system in which the A. C. was discarded in teaching reading. The speaker said that few learn to read except in school. Dr. L. K. Alderman, specializes in adult education, spoke on "Self-Education," in which he discussed the value of self-activity on the part of those securing an education. Dr. Alderman gave many practical and helpful suggestions to teachers. Harris Hatt, State Superintendent of Public instruction, was introduced by Dr. Gandy, as the next speaker. Mr. Hart dwelt upon the necessity of guarding against waste of the funds raised for the educational purposes. He told the teachers nothing was so wasteful as inadequately trained and indifferent teachers, and that waste could be eliminated by securing teachers adequately trained to render efficient service. The speaker cited data showing the cost to the State of the illiterate in the matter of learning capacity. Mr. Hart congratulated Norfolk upon the new Booker T. Washington High School and also congratulated Superintendent Mason upon the type of teachers he usually gets. "After all," Mr. Hart declared, "the fundamental thing in education is the teacher behind the desk. Education should be for the purpose of development along mental, moral and social lines. But the saddest thing is the person who thinks he is educated. For if the instruction is below par, has he learned anything? We wang that education that will give us mental tenacity, mental capacity that will develop us as thinkers." Dr. Channing H. Tobias, international secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, spoke on "Work Amonk Colored Boys." The speaker stressed the importance of organizing a movement to save the colored youth from con- NORFOLL & WESTERN (Ticket Office, 105 Grandy St. Dial 26679) ALL ONLY ROUTE 18TH RICHMOND Leave Terminal (Union) Station 8:15 a.m. p.—Daily CHICAGO & ST LOUIS EXPRESS, and Columbus, connectin- g Pullman to Detroit, Detroit and St. Louis.

Dr. Tobias emphasized the need of such an organization among Negro youth as would give opportunity for expression sought by organizing a Hi-Y club among the colored boys of Virginia. The closing session Friday night was marked by interesting addresses. Director of the Normal School, Miss Edna M. Colson, Virginia Normal and industrial institute, spoke on "Unsolved Problems in Negro Education." The address contained a strong plan to Negro educators to make greater efforts to solve the problem of the mentality of the colored child and to discover the kind of education best suited to his development. Facts were cited to show that environment has much to do with the development of an alert intelligence, and what is often supposed to be innate inferiority proves to be backwardness produced by lack of suitable environment. in the cities of Rich Lynchburg, was unapassed by the committee Express Grat The committee went adopting the resolution by that: "The Negro Association expends tude to the Board of F the educational authority of Norfolk for gr concession and every and every privilege to make the way sociation a success."

Woodard, Howard University, Washington, D.C., spoke on "Negro Scholarship as a Racial Asset." He said many colored men are at work today in the field of productive scholarship and their achievements in this direction have proven a great factor in moulding and changing sentiment so as to produce a more favorable attitude toward the race the world over. The speaker scored the inferiority complex from which, se said, the race seems to be suffering and told his hearers that they "must meet statistics brought forward to prove such assertions with yet more statistics, experiments, with more rigorous experiments, and interpretation with more logical interpretation if they would hope to succeed in dispelling this heresy against the race." The closing session of the executive committee was held Saturday at 10 o'clock, during which the program of action for the ensuing year's work was outlined. The committee unanimously endorsed the program of education as announced by State Superintendent Hart in his addresses before the white and colored conferences.

PAUL ROMP Lawrenceville, Va., Nov. 26—Por the second consecutive year the St. Paul und Virginia Normal annual gridiron fracas ended in a score- jess tic. Despite the fact that the “wonder team” outplayed the Hill- topper brigade in every depart. ment of the gamo, when the final ehapter was concluded the Peters- burg eleven found itself on even terms with the Lawrenceville team. An overflowing crowd of students, alumni, faculty and friends of the two schools and football enthusiasts from many sections of the country attended “The, Thanksgiving Day Foothall Game” which was one of the finest exhibitions of football ever staged on the sacred hill of Virginia. Ideal Day Today was an idea! day for the pigskin melee. A blue western sky was a_fitting background for the glistening colors of the Hill- toppers and the Tigers. An invig- orating eun shone brightly upon the mighty elevens as, they fought like "Profans up aifd down the field for victory, which would have been the pinnacle of either team’s 1925 ambition. But as_ thrilling as was the game, a emotiorial as twas the occasion, and as eager a5 ‘wats one machine of battle to, van- quish the other, fate played the leading’role, and after the smoke of battle had gone its way the old ‘oval was still in the possession of St. Paul, not as a victorious trophy, ‘but as equipment for which she had paid the almighty dollar. ' Hitoppers Outplayed The game was a brilliant spec- tacle from every angle. The sein- tillating aerial, line plunging and erossbuck offensive of the Tiger featured. The Hilltopper played a sterling defonsive game and thrice prevented the Tiger from imprinting his versatile claw be- hind ‘the former’s goal. As. sia- tistics show, St. Puul outplayed Virginia Normal three to one, but she did not have the play to carry the ball over after wending her way to the final chalk mark Though her line was ripped % pieces and penetrated almost al will between the five yard lines, the Virginia Normal ‘defen s« proved invulnerable when St Paw needed a few inches te make it first ‘and ten on the visitors’ two yard line and one-half yard line. Tigers Attempt To Tally Virginia Normal never threat: ened, St. Paul attempted a field soal in the first and fourth periods The first had the distance and height, but went wild one yard St. Paul advanced the ball to the 2 yard line in the third, period! A ‘play for placement. kick was called, but the holder Car the place. mont ‘kick fumbled and St. Paul lost the ball on. Virginia Normal’ yard line, In the fourth period hy a scrice of forward passes and Tine. plunges, St. Paul advanced the ball to Virginia Normai’s one. half yard Tine, and for the second time, when a touchdown seemed inevitable, St, Paul lost the ball on downs. Liter jn the same pe riod St. Paul made'a final effort to. score via’ field” goal, but the ball fell short 5 yards. The Game’s Stars St. Paul's outstanding players Berd, Hall, Seviber, Hudson, J. Oliver, Baker, Nelson, Capkain Boykins, Pieree and Black well. Pierce's, work at: tackle was mar- velous and his performance today Teatarlally, ‘strengthened his bid for ANAC, 4. A.A. tackle, Byrd's 23 yard run, his interceptanco of a forward pass, his consistent guins aund his receiving of the oval hy the aerial route were the hish lights in his activities. St. Paul's dimi- nutive quarterback, Charlie Hall, ripped off 20 yards and_ several shorter gains. “His running back of punts, his work as safety man and his’ clever gencralship were sparkling. Virginia Normal’s stars today were Epps, Royal, Shelton, ‘Thomp- son and Slaughter. As far as c- lusivencss and judgment and fight were concerned, Epps was without equal. Royal played x game of no mean ability, and although he was on the defense the greater part of the game he handled the situation calmly and effectively... Shelton, Thompson and Slaughter were the inard charging forwards who thrice checked St. Paul’s deathly .on- slaucht. THE LINEUP St Paulo VN, & I. 10 Nelson L. E. Brown Blackwell L, T.

While the Bookers were romping they released a tally to the Shipbuilders very soon after connecting with their first score, which came early in the game. Booker Washington, leader in the championship race, was bent on downing the strong eleven of Newport News to bring Norfolk its first title. Huntington was far behind in the sprint, but had been giving the good ones a merry tussle during the season and came over determined to stop Washington's Fighting Bookers. It was appalled at the scant that the visiting eleven would not be able to stand the gaff and come through to take the game from the locals. It was only a matter of time when the Bookers would score and it came about six or seven minutes after the beginning of the first period. The local aggregation received the kickoff on their 12 yard line with Williams bringing up for a distance of 8 yards. The Bookers immediately set about to make a first down and several cracks at the first line of defense of the Huntington clan brought this, but Huntington braced on the next assault and forced Washington to punt on the fourth down. Tolliver kicked to the Shipbuilders' 3 yard line. After one thrust at the line that availed Huntington nothing, she kicked to her 34 yard line. Washington, taking the ball at this point, began another assault attack. The ball was worked down to the 39 yard line and Johnson attempted to register by a placement kick, but Huntington charged in fast and hard to frustrate this and the ball was blocked. However, the Fighting Bookers recovered. On the first play, Ross hit for 3 yards and Thomas, the flash back added 15 more to this and placed the ball on Huntington's 7 yard line. The Bookers were romping now and nothing short of a cyclone, tidal wave, landslide or earthquake could hold the charging locals in check. Washington was thrown for a loss on the next play, but Johnson slips through tackle for a 3 yard gain, with Tymes following with 2 more ago on the next play, Thomas eases over for the first touchdown and Johnson added the extra point via placement kick. Huntington Hits Back Having a score chalked up against them, the Huntingtonians began to fight back hard to stop the Bookers. Caught in their territory like rats in a trap, the Bookers were forced to yield a score to the visiting clan when Johnson, attempting to pass was smeared by Curry, left end for Huntington and lost the ball. Chambers, closely following the progress of the oval pouenced upon it and raced over for Huntington's first and last tally. The Shipbuilders failed to add the extra point and the count stood, 7-6 and the first quarter was still very young. This score spurred Huntington on and she put up a plucky light to even matters and to forget ahead, but the fates were against the scrapping Shipbuilders and they never had a possible chance to score again. They were kept on the defense throughout the remainder of the fray, with Booker Washington making first downs almost at will. Huntington had her back against the wall now and could only put up a stubborn fight to keep Washington out of her territory as much as possible, but the Fighting Bookers would not be turned back. Huntington Seldom Had Ball Huntington seldom had the ball in her possession, which rendered it impossible to get a real line on the visitors' offense. Nearly every Huntington gained possession of the ball, she was far down in her territory which necessitated a punt out very early in order to play the game's a fely. However, Sedgewick proved himself a worthy back by cracking the Bookers' line several times for good gains. This hefty fullback was the main offensive power of the Huntington eleven and he plouched his way through when he was elected to carry the ball. court to carry. The game began to lag during the second and third periods with some thrills dotting these frames. The game was, by no means one-sided despite the fact the local lads had the advantage all the way. Huntington forced Washington to earn every inch gained in this fray. Thomas, Tolliver and Johnson romped true to form for the Fighting Bookers, with the former standing out above the rest in this trio for consistent ground guining. Thomas was a menace on off-tackle plays and was rarely stopped under four and five yards. Thomas possessed a puzzling gait that non-plussed his opponents and he jumped almost at will. Ross, the Bookers' other versatile, a back, played his best game of the season on the local lot. Ross playing all over his last year's form, also --- Bookers Tally proved a dangerous foe and he cracked the line and snatched passes frequently for valuable yardage. Tolliver, a triple threat man and a stellar wing, now added a good bit of momentum to the pikeman affair through his kicking and wild dashes, taking the ball, on one occasion for 25 yards on a fake kick formation. Tolliver has done this on every team in the conference and opponents have been unable to stop him until his flying feet have dashed off around 20 and 25 yards. The final score came near the end of the last half with a pass from Johnson to Tolliver, which was good for 40 yards and a touchdown. Johnson added the extra point, making a final count of 14 to 6, in favor of the local squad. THE LINEUP Bookers—14 Huntington— Williams L. E. Curry Faison L. T. Howard Diggs L. G. Riddick. Tucker C.

DeHART HUBBARD'S SPORT REVIEW BY DEHART HUBBARD World's Brond Jump Title Holder The football season is over and it closed with two big upsets. Lincoln held Howard to a scoreless tie, and West Virginia beat Wilberforce. These traditional foes can always be counted on to upset the dope when they meet. Their games well may be compared to those between Hancock-Yale, Illinois-Ohio State, California-Stanford, and other famous rivalries, when it comes to fierceness of play and determination to win that game, if no other. School of that city, has won every cross country race in which he has entered this fall. His victories have all been impressive, and his time for the different races have those of any of the older men who have them. Moore shows great promise. Besides being a star cross country runner, Moore can run an excellent mile on the track. He has covered the distance in 4 minutes 28 seconds, and is always around Rivalries of this kind, that have become traditional, and that are becoming the classics of the season, are beneficial to all concerned. Competition on a high plane develops healthy minds and bodies. It develops a fighting spirit that should be of great value in after-life. It develops fair play that should be inborn in the youth of our race. In all ways it stimulates a clean, healthy spirit among students and spectators alike. There cannot be too many traditional games like those between Howard and Lincoln. Wilberforce and West Virginia, Union and Hampton. Wilberforce has never beaten West Virginia. No matter how good a team Force has and how weak Institute is considered, Institute has a way of rising up in on great game and giving Wilberforce a cridifion trimming. The same is true of Lincoln and Howard. Lincoln can always be counted on to fight Howard to the last whistle. Many years when she is doped as "outclassed", she has come back fighting and won a brilliant triumph over her ancient foe. Likewise Hampton has the Indian sign on Union. Hampton's eleven victories to Union's four show that the scasse school was that strange power possessed by some teams to rise to one great game against her traditional foe and overcome odds to come out onion. TOO MANY SQUABBLES At least three big games this season have ended in squabbles or have been marred by arguments. The Clark-Atlanta U. game was the latest case of an untimely ending due to a disagreement. Clark was dissatisfied with the referee's decisions, and her rooters ended the game by swarming on the field of play. The Howard-Wilberforce game was marred by a questionable decision that caused general dissatisfaction. Many other games have been the scenes of violent dispute. These various cases have led to a lengthy discussion on officials. There is no doubt that many of the officials who have been used are incompetent. Some of them do not know the rules, and others knowing the rules do not administer them fairly. The success of games depends as much upon the officials as upon the players. If the referee and ampire do not do their duty the game is bound to become slow and uninteresting. No matter what arguments are advanced by the various participants in the discussion, the question resolves itself into one of getting officials who know their duty and who are not afraid to perform it fairly. A suggestion that might help solve the problem: Have all the officials appointed by the C. I. A. A., or any other governing body, and be sure they have not attended either school that is playing the game. ANOTHER OLYMPIC RUNNER? Earl Johnson, our greatest distance runner, has retired, but in New York City there is a lad who should become his successor. Gus Moore, running for Boys' High Institut aces for the year. Reading from left to hedbee, quarterback and "Bumble" HUBBARD'S REVIEW School of that city, has won every cross country race in which he has entered this fall. His victories have all been impressive, and his time for the different races have always compared favorably with those of any of the older men who have them. Moore shows great promise. Besides being a star cross country runner, Moore can run an excellent mile on the track. He has covered the distance in 4 minutes 28 seconds, and is always around 4:30. With added strength and experience this lad should become a first rank performer, able to hold his own in any company. He has three years before the next Olympic Games and if he takes care of himself has an excellent chance to represent the United States at Amsterdam. He must take care not to burn himself out. More good runners are spoiled by too much running when young than most people realize. COLOR PREJUDICE AGAIN Over in Merrie England, Len Johnson, a pupilist of dark skin, hit Roland Todd. England's middle- weight champion, with everything but the water bucket in a recent match. The referee gave Johnson the decision, and all the spectators heartily agreed. All of which means that Mr. Johnson should now be middleweight champion of Merrie England and wear the Lord Lonsdale Belt. But Mr. Johnson does not wear the belt, and from all indications, never will wear it. Prejudice has crept into the little island off Europe, and no dark-skinned gentleman can wear a Lord Lonsdale Belt. That's getting as bad as America. The only difference is that in England the champion did fight the colored man, while in this country he will not even get in the same ring with him. Jack Dempsey please note.

T WILBERFORCE FAM YELLOW JACK FOUGHT, G WILBERFORCE FALLS BEFORE YELLOW JACKETS IN A HARD FOUGHT, GRUELLING GAME Columbus, Ohio. Thanksgiving Western Classics between ginnia it is improbable that the day's brilliant crowd has so fly to heights of esthetic foothold of darkest gloom by the ebb today when West Virginia for last-minute 7 to 3 victory ove Columbus, Ohio. Thanksgiving Day—In all of the stirring Western Classics between Wilberforce and West Virginia it is improbable that the two groups of supporters in today's brilliant crowd have so frequently been lifted alternately to heights of esthetic football joy or hurled to the depths of darkest gloom by the ebb and flow of a surging game as today when West Virginia fought its way to a sensational last-minute 7 to 8 victory over the Green and Gold. For three quarters each team was favored by breaks, and scores seemed imminent, but with heartening regularity forces set to work to divert the flow of battle. Then, in one spectacular maneuver in the late minutes of the final period of today's rivalries, Wilberforce envisioned itself the conqueror of its ancient foe for the first time since 1914. It was like this: Wilberforce had worked its way down to Institute's 30 yard stripe. As they had done many times before in this hectic and moving contest, the Wilberforce rooters pleaded and exhorted their team to score. "We want a touchdown!" the words rang across the sword of Neil Park, scene of many marvelous athletic struggles, and echoed with insistent rhythm. There was a feeling that a single score would win this game for either team. To Wilberforce these points would mean more than mere victory. For eleven long years it has been an arduous march. In all these years the Yellow Jackets have stung the Bulldogs into submission or held them to a tie. The green and gold Bulldog has never, in these seven seasons, got in his death grin. Today, Wilberforce under -Coach Graves admittedly had its best chance to break the maddening abit the doughy mountaineers have of carrying out their boast—"You may tie us, but you will never beat us!" To Wilberforce there was still another reason why victory would be so satisfying. Its star fullback, "Wu Fang" Ward, had, after his very first play, been forced, out, unable to return to the game. Suffering a painful knee injury, the flashing fullback could not start with his usual speed. Several West Virginia linesmen sited through his interference to down him on Wilberforce's first offensive effort for a ten yard loss. It was necessary that he be replaced and Hallie Harding was substituted for him. Then, both teams were undefeated in the West and had fared well in their intersection scraps. The victor would be undisputed Western champion and could put in a claim for national honors, whatever that means.

There was a dramatic finesse to the execution of that place kick and a determined attention to details that was lacking a few minutes later, the lack of which probably lost Wilberforce's last chance to repel successfully the fighting West Virtuinis. West Virginia had just kicked under the shadow of its own goal posts, and it was Wilberforce's ball on its own 40 yard line. Harding shot an arrow-like pass to Torrell, substituting for Burrell, former Hampton star, and Torrell galloped 35 yards to within 25 yards of the yearned for goal. The din was teal life. In two plunges Campbell, substituted a few minutes earlier for Redding garnered eight yards. Branch, Institute's left end, smeared Harding for no gain on the next play. It was the last down. Was 'Force to fail where she had failed several times before. If so, then the prospect was for another scoreless tie as last year. But 'Force was not to fail, again, at least in scoring. After a conference, each linesman was placed carefully and the backfield arranged itself in order to keep out opponents. Campbell walked back and kneeled on the 30 yard marker. The ball was passed to him. He quickly placed and held it on the ground and Ritchie sent it on a swift and sure arching journey over the goal posts and into the stands. It would have been humanly impossible to have booted the ball harder and straighter towards its goal. Wilberforce seemed to have found its soul. Institute kicked off and Ritchie returned 20 yards to his 29 yard line. A triple cross fire lateral pass, which had gained long yardage for Wilberforce every time she used it, was good for 35 precious yards with Harding running with the ball in his wonderful style. Campbell's interfering in this play kept out the only Yellow Jacket in position to halt Harding before he had made a substantial gain. Ritchie whirled through for five. On the last down a fake play from place. kick formation failed and it was Institute's ball on its 30 yard line.

The tide turned in favor of was downed on his 35 yard line, the mountaineers. Having tasted blood, the Bulldog was not satisfied to win by three points, even with just a few minutes left. Had Wilberforce kicked and taken the defensive it is probable that Institute would never have won this game. Now that Wilberforce elected to take to the air Institute was trained what to do. All afternoon Institute had been wide-awake on the defense against passes, and had snared Wilberforce passes or broken them up. So when Wilberforce received Institute's pass on its 35 yard line and elected to pass, Institute was ready. Ritchie tossed the pass to the short side of the field. Only two were there; Campbell, 'Force end, who had sneaked into the open and H. Johnson, Institute half back. Just as Campbell was about to catch the ball Johnson raced in, stashed the pikskin out of the air, and began his run that really brought victory. (Continued on Page Seven) Suits!

Special mention must be made of yt. “Bus” Coleman, who without a shadow of doubt was the out. stending star of the affray. For truly, Coleman, A, and ‘T's back- field ace, was the defensive xiant of the game.

E. of W., practically brought to a close its 1000 membership cam- paign this week with an average of 100 members a week, campaign was in progress ‘for ten weeks and closed” with 3 total of virtually 1,000 new mem- ‘bers, At the time this report was ‘released new members and paid up applications totaled 985, with more ‘than enough sure prospects to reach the 1,000 mark. The drive ‘will remain’ opon, however, until ‘Monday night, December %, and applications: wit be received unt at time at the club rates. A Heetic Campaign | ‘The campaign was a hectic affair from start to finish and finished in a climax of glory. Festivities Hin eelebration of tho successful ‘ending of the drive began to break out sporadically at the Elks Home on East Branmbleton avenue as the week drew to a close and the grand xoal loomed in sight. The lodge members. could not, conceal their glee and made no attempt to do so. Monday night, the big climax came when Eureka lodge, its friends and brother Elks. of the city, vieinity and North Carolina, gathered about 400 strong at the City Armory. in a “Hello Bill” night, For two hours the Excel- sior Band rendered a concert. Fol- lowing this, Grand Exalted Ruler, J, Finley Wilson, who eame to the city for the special purpose of join- ing in the cclebration and paying his personal congratulations to Eu- reka lodge upon the success of its campaign, was presented. He de- livered an inspiring address after which he’ led the grand mareh. Dancing with that gonuine Elk spirit consumed the rest, of the evening. But the festivities were not to end with the ending of this affair. Smoker Enjoyed Tuesday night about 300.

Institute did not have as. many actual scoring chances, but. both teams failed on several occasions just as Wilberforce did when with: in twelve yards of victory. All through the game, support ers of both teams waited for a whirlwind to get started, but for sixty minutes the West’ Virginia defense refused to open up for a touchdown either by the plunging or passing attack. No scare cane for the first three quarters. And then came Wilberforeo’s three points. And then Johnson and McConnell and Turner accounted directly and indirectly for the In- stitute vietory. Wilberforce missed ils powerful running back, Ward, and although Harding, Wil Kiams, and Ritchie gained upward of 35 yards on orcasions, never was the offensive sustained.

Williams Accepting Call To Church In' Pittsburgh. The Baptist ministers of Norfolk and vicinity in a recent meeting expressed no little concern over the reported probability of Rev. F. W. Williams, pastor of Queen Street Baptist Church, accepting his recent call to the Rodman Street Church, Pittsburgh, and evidenced a strong feeling that they would seriously regret it in event Dr. Williams decided to leave Norfolk. The ministers expressed themselves regarding the matter in the following manner: "We, the Ministers Conference of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Vicinity having been recently informed thru Reverend F. W. Williams, D. D., the pastor of the Queen Street Baptist Church of Norfolk of his reprint Baptist Church of Pittsburgh, Pa. Use this method of expressing to the public our feeling in regard to the same: "We feel that, Rodmond Street Baptist Church has made a wise choice in their call of Reverend Williams as their pastor, for we consider him one of the greatest Baptist Ministers we have. For twenty-one years he has pastored in Norfolk and his labor stands as a monument to his credit. He has built one of the most magnificent edifices in the city and has built up one of the most substantial memberships in Virginia. He has not only paid for his church all their indebtedness, but has bought a church home and other valuable property from which the church receives substantial revenue in the enlargement of his Treasury. He is the President of the United Charities for the colored people of Norfolk and through him the Colored People have been given charge of all of the charity funds of the city raised by the White People for them. For a number of years he acted as a Santa Claus for the poor people of the city using the funds that he influenced his church and friends to give. He is now president of the General Association of the State of Virginia and the vice president of the Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Conference. "We have not been informed as yet whether he has decided to go or not. We, the Ministers of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Vicinity, feel that we will lose one of the most valuable assets from our ranks should he be directed by the Holy Spirit to go. We will not by any means attempt to dictate to the will of the Holy Spirit and we hope that his stay among us will not end at this time, for there is work that he can do in the ministry. As a priest he is second to none, as a minister he can equal a friend he is loved by all." "We hope and pray that if there is anything that the Queen Street Baptist Church or the ministers at large can do to keep him among us, we would like to be informed at once by him that we may be found at our post." Committee: REV. C. P. MADISON. REV. N. B. BROWN. REV. GORDAN. GRACE P. E. CHURCH On Thanksgiving Day the service at Grace Church was very impressive. The Chancel had been filled with provisions for the poor and Rev. Harris preached a sermon for the occasion. After the service a committee from the Woman's auxiliary distributed the provisions among the poor and to the two homes for the aged. Last Sunday there was a good crowd present at the morning service at which time Rev. Harris preached on the subject: "The Day Is At Hand. Rev. Harris o'clock service, Rev. Harris preached again from the 19th and 20th verses of Isaiah. Next Sunday morning the annual meeting of the congregation will be held in the Church at 8 o'clock for the purpose of electing the vestry for 1926. After the meeting the Womans Guild will serve a supper in the Parish Hall. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH At night Rev. J. R. Askew preached an eloquent sermon, subject, "Dry Bones." FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The early prayer meeting was inspiring. At the hour of preaching Rev. F. W. Jacobs arose and announced for his text Matt. 11:9. subject: "The Master Teacher." His introduction consisted of words of commendation for the State Teachers' Association which met in the city Thanksgiving, when more than nine hundred (900) colored teachers were present. He then pictured very vividly the ideal teacher. Indeed, this was a wonderful sermon full of thought. The large audience enjoyed it most thoroughly. One lady came forward and joined the church. Many returned for the evening services. Rev. Jacob spoke on the subject: "The Pilgrim and His Pilgrimage." Those who braved the weather were richly repaid. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were largely attended and their NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE respective programs were greatly appended MINISTERSC The Board of Managers of the Church home, with the Matron and Caretaker, Mr. and Mrs. McRae are very grateful to the Willing Workers Sunday School Class for making Thanksgiving Day so pleasant for the 12 aged guests in the Home. Miss Julia Dodson, one of the public school teachers, sent out a big basket of groceries for which the Board is very thankful. SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST The services at the Second Calvary Baptist Church last Sunday were the largest attended for quite a while. Notwithstanding the chilly winds the people did not regard them as a hindrance in putting in their presence at each service, both morning and evening. The prayer meeting at 6 o'clock was spiritual with a goodly number present; the Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. was largely attended and the superintendent with his officers were found at their posts on time. At 11:30 a large crowd was present to listen to the pastor from the subject, "A Good Concience." Every one enjoyed the message. After the sermon, five persons came forward and joined the church. The song service at 3:30 o'clock was spiritual. At 6:30 the B. Y. P. U. hour, the largest attendance of the year was present. The newly elected group leaders were at their posts, cation by their presence. At 7:30 the crowd was no hand to listen to the dream sermon; "Daniel in the Lilies Den." Each of the girls the court part played their parts well as did the men. It was a sermon that every one present enjoyed, not only in listening to, but to see just how it was rendered. At the close of the sermon two persons connected themselves with the church, thus closing one of the best services from every point of view that has been conducted in the above named church for some time. BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH The 25th anniversary of the pastor, Rev. N. B. Brown, D., was quite a success. Every minister on the program appeared and each message was gladly received. On Thanksgiving Day a Union Meeting was held with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, the Macedonia Christian Church and the Bethlehem Baptist Church. Rev. W. A. Price preached an excellent sermon. On last Sunday morning the Rev. D. J. Jacox preached a very interesting sermon. In the afternoon a splendid program was rendered in behalf of the missionary circle. The pastor has been out of the city. While away he visited Richmond, his old field of labor. BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH At the morning and evening services at Bank Street, Sunday, Dr. B. F. McWilliams, of Toledo, Ohio, preached two interesting sermons which kept his hearers deep interest throughout their delivery. "Redemption" was the subject of the morning discourse. Masterly in its presentation, powerful in its exposition of the meaning of the thought expressed by redemption, the entire congregation as of one accord responded to the enlightening power and influence of the comprehensive statements which it contained and the magic spell which the pulpit orator wove around his listening-hearers manifested by their rapt attention to every word uttered. In the evening the congregation was treated to another thrilling and eloquent sermon by Dr. McWilliams on the subject: "The Faithful Saying." At the close of the sermon no one present could doubt but that the faithful saying: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," was true beyond the reach of successful contradiction. On the first Sunday, Rev. J. H. Billups, of Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, will fill the pulpit at the morning service. Rev. Billups is a speaker of known ability through Tidewater, Va. In the evening Rev. David Harris, of Eastern Shore, Va., will conduct the services in which the sacred rites of Holy Communion will be celebrat- FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Berkley Ave.) Sunday A. M. marked the beginning of Rev. J. C. Diamond's anniversary of the church. The church was beautifully decorated, everything showing progress under a successful leader. The day also marked the 57th anniversary of the church. The pastor did not preach an anniversary sermon, but took his text from 2nd King 10:31, "A Divided Heart," which gave every soul strength and food on which to build during the week: In part he said that the mission of the church was to save the world with Christ its founder and if the world is not saved, it will be because our hearts are divided. The plan of God will not fail but we are not half serving God, our hearts are divided. The only way to reach heaven was with our whole hearts. The church is holding up its motto: "A soul saved at each service." The B. Y. P. U. is growing rapidly. BRICK COL. PROPERTY Two Fine Homes AT 1/2 PRICE C. E.

HARRIS On this Coming Sunday at 7:30 o'clock there will be another dramatic sermon preached by the pastor of the Second Salvary Baptist Church on 'Daniels Vision of the Four Beasts', taken from the seventh chapter of the book of Daniel. This message is designed to be greater than the dramatic sermon of the previous Sunday night. All who were present last Sunday night are asked to be present again and bring their friends. The object of these sermons is to increase the interest of the people more in the gospel by getting them to test their faith through sight.

Secretary $500.00 RAISED FOR THE WEAVER ORPHAN HOME Citizens Rally Splendidly To Aid of Hampton Institution, After Putting Over A $12,000 Community Fund Drive Following close behind a successful Community Fund Campaign in which the colored citizens of Norfolk pledged more than $12,000, they on last Sunday raised $600.00 for the Weaver Orphan Home, of Hampton, in a mass meeting at St. John's A. M. E. Church. The amount paid to the home was laid on the table in cash and checks up to $100, the other $109 being paid from the men and churches of the city through Mr. S. B. Noble and Rev O. J. Allen. When the cash collection had closed, Mr. Noble and Rev Allen took the liberty to guarantee that the business and religious groups would be responsible for another $100.

Miss Wanzer, who is a Master Arts from the Chicago Musical College and who is now working birds her Doctorate in this line countered her experiences in this entry prior to her departure and her experience while at Fontenau, France. She related how she obtained from her former instructors in music in this country, including Percy Granger, most unqualified endorsement relative to her work as a musical artist, her extensive correspondence with the officers of the school at Fontenau and her final papers and pass incidents incident to her sailing. It was at this point that Miss Wanzer had her greatest difficulty. The committee in New York which presents the Fontenbleau Conservatory of Music in Paris and thus which one must go before being finally admitted to the conservatory of Paris explained to Miss Wanzer her futility in going there for study. She was told that she would not be treated fairly. Miss Wanzer was delayed quite some time in this interview. When finally asked again her decision in the matter, Miss Wanzer informed the Committee that she would go and see for herself. On board ship enroute Miss Wanzer met one who was familiar with the Conservatory and Miss Wanzer secured information as to the best way to reach the Conservatory. After much inconvenience she reached the Conservatory Fonteenblean, an old historic estate. Miss Wanzer was gratefully received. She was accorded the best appointments at the school, she dined at the same time both of the instructors and as soon recognized as a person no ability not only in mug but all else that makes a schol. The Guest of Honor described manner of personal instruction the different phases of her study. When the course was ended the term, out of the fifty peres who attended from this country and Europe, only seven were successful in passing and she head- this list. In one of her conversations with me interested officials of t h e school at Fontenbleau, Miss Wanzer told why it was so imperative at she attend the conservatory she not only to acquire the special thing for which she went but open the door for other people Color who perhaps if they will perserver will overcome many obstacles obtaining in this country day. Miss Wanzer has already invited to attend the school in year. She informed the officers at the Conservatory of her family with the Committee in New York and at the same time mentioned the fact that here were hers in the country perhaps who could make even a better record given the chance.

Norfolk Journal and Guide WINFALL SAYS WORLD IS SOON TO ADOPT BIRTH CONTROL Prominent Physician Says Time Has Come When Subject Must Be Discussed If Civilization Is To Be Saved Dr. James F. Cooper, medical director of the research department of the American Birth Control League, in a recent address before the Fulton County Medical Society of Georgia, declared that with the population of the United States doubling every 35 years and with the general increase of the population of the world the time has come for the people of America to prepare their minds for discussion of the question of birth control and for the physicians to study contraceptive methods. "If American civilization is to be saved, the use of some method of birth control is absolutely necessary." Dr. Cooper said. "Census statistics show that in the families of the intelligin, or biologically fit, the birth rate is approximately 2.7 or less than three children a family, while in the families of the biologically unfit the rate is three times as large per family." Increase in Morons Dr. Cooper said the increase in the number of morons and feeble-minded people in the United States is astounding. He said virtually all institutions to take care of this class of people are filled to overflowing and that there is one person in such an institution there are ten people outside who ought to be inside. "I isolation and sterilization are the two remedies which have been advanced." Dr. Cooper said. Isolation is impracticable because of the expense and because of the social questions which would be raised. Sterilization is more popular and 17 states of the Union have adopted laws providing for the sterilization of feeble-minded people and others of that class. "The intelligencia or educated classes are barely reproducing themselves, while the uneducated classes are reproducing at a rate of about three to one as compared to the educated classes," he said. Women's Altered Status The altered status of women is another reason for birth control, Dr. Cooper said. He said women are thinking for themselves both individually and collectively. He said they are entering colleges, are entering the professions and engaging in business life. These women feel that motherhood ought not to occur as a matter of chance, but ought to come at a time when the mother is prepared to bring into the world a child which will be healthy in mind and body.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Annexation Of Virgin Islands To Porto Rica Opposed The Virgin islanders are emphatically and unanimously against the proposal that the islands might be incorporated with Porto Rica for governmental purposes by action of the session of the coming Congress. The Virgin Islands were acquired by the United States from Denmark by purchase nine years ago, and the natives have often since been referred to as Ancle Sam's children. The newspaper St. Thomas Mail Notes, in large type, says "Chained to Porto Rico? St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas say never." Editorially the newspaper refers to the many contributions of the islands to the development of the United States, beginning with Alexander Hamilton, who was raised at St. Croix. Reports of the proposed annexation to Porto Rico are believed to have arisen in connection with the activities of the Virgin Islanders to have the present naval government replaced by a civil government, under which the islanders would enjoy American citizenship and a new constitution would be substituted for the old Danish laws under which the islands now live.

CELEBRATION OF NEGRO HISTORY WEEK FEBRUARY Nation-wide Observance Intended To Arouse The Public To The Importance Of Subject With World History Negro History Week will be observed the second week in February, beginning February 7, under auspices of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History of Washington, D. C., Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director. The purposes of the celebration are to popularize Negro History and to secure more support for its promotion. Dr. Woodson, himself a Negro historian of note, author of the Journal of Negro History and several other volumes dealing with the history of the race in various phases of activities, commenting on the approaching Negro History Week said: "The white people must be convinced that they cannot learn their own history unless they include that of the Negro. In fact, what we want is an unbiased history of the whole group rather than a separate and distinct story of races and creeds. That is the meaning of Negro History Week. "We must make a strenuous effort to disbuse the public mind that history is the record of the successes and disappointments of those who have contended for power. Some races may have credit for more of such questionable deeds than others, but this before an honest judge would brand them as criminals rather than unright nations. Let us teach the whole world that, according to science, there is no such thing as inferiority and superiority of races. History shows that the Negro race has accomplished as much good as any other race, although it has less conquest, exploitation and oppression to its credit. "For Negro History Week each community should organize through committees for this celebration. Every club, fraternity or lodge Rev, and Mrs. A. F. Bowe were Thanksgiving dinner guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ricks. *Mrs. Alice Epps, Mrs. Dora Brown and Mr. Wm. Gray attended the funeral of Mr. W. B.

At the Sunday night service, the pastor, Rev. A. F.

SECOND SECTION Liberia Is The Smallest U. S. Debtor Nation Liberia Is The Smallest U. S. Debtor Nation Of the debtor nations to the United States the Republic of Liberia falls into the lowest class. That fact was made known by President Coolidge Thursday night of last week, while speaking over the radio from New York, read the amounts owed the United States by foreign nations. Liberia's debt was given as $26,000. It was not the fault of the Liberians, however, that their account to the United States is so pony. It would have been at least $5,026,000 had it not been for the activities of certain Southern Congressmen of unpleasant recollections. Three years ago Liberia's application for a loan of $5,000,000 was turned down flat, in spite of certain moral commitments previously made that such a loan would be available to the Black Republic. should cooperate. Each minister is earnestly requested to deliver an address on the Sunday beginning the week. All schools are urged to hold appropriate exercise some day during the week. "This will be the proper occasion for emphasizing the importance of placing in the local library of the city or school an adequate collection of valuable books presenting passionately what the Negro has thought and felt and attempted and accomplished. The local Board of Education should be appealed to for authority to introduce in the school system a course in Negro life and history. In the proper consideration of all factors in making our civilization, the youth of both races may thereby learn the lesson of brotherhood from the equality attested by science and history."

Funds to carry on the work have been provided for building a greater dairy industry in the South. Emphasizing diversification on the average farm and more efficient methods with cows, hens and crops to feed them, covers the scope of the newly established Institute. The actual work is now in the hands of a staff of agricultural experts who are intimately familiar with farming conditions in the South and who have themselves been practical farmers. Phase of dairying and poultry raising will be over in the next few bears dollars in the farmer's pockets. Since the individual farmer cannot determine the market price himself, it is up to him to increase his profit and to lower his costs, and this is what the Institute of Animal Economics will work hand-in-glove with him to accomplish. Dairy Industry "Dairying is the logical industry of the Southern farmer," says James E. Larrove, widely known engineer and president of the large manufacturing concern whose donations made the Institute in explaining the Institute in explaining the field for its activity. "Not only are physical conditions suited for it, but an ever-increasing market is furnished in the rapidly growing population centers nearby. No other farm effort will pay him so well as efficient dairying with youth raising as a companion enterprise. The Institute will keep the farmer informed on ways to increase and hen efficiency through research and interpretation of the great work of the various agricultural colleges. It will do this in several ways. For one thing, a careful survey will be made of representative localities throughout the North to give the Institute a working knowledge of farm conditions today and what problems most relentlessly confront the farmer. An experimental farm will be operated under average farm conditions and the results of this will be made known. New methods of feeding and cating for cows and chickens, for increasing milk and egg production will be closely watched and tried out before recommendation. A bureau of interest will be established, giving personal service on any question sent in. In creating the Institute and providing largely for its maintenance, Mr. Larrowe is giving substance to what has long been a dream of his. Mr. Larrowe has a wide knowledge of both engineering and nutrition to both of which he has given a lifetime study. Ala., Dr. Chase, of the Johnstown, Pa., transferred to the Albemarle conference and is stationed at Elizabeth City. Presiding Elders are: Rev. J. E. Garrett, Edenton, and Windsor District; Rev. B.

Masons And Pastor At Log- gerheads Over Stone, And Former Quit, While Latter _Attempts Ceremony. i (Special to Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va.—What was to have been a very solemn and im- gressive ceremony, Thanksgiving Day, which would have marked the corner-stone laying of the new 5th Sfrect Baptist Church, in due and ancient form, broke up in confu- sion, without the stone having leen Jaid in the accustomed and time-honored way, according to many who journeyed out to wit- ress the ueeenion. ‘A great thiong had gathered, hundveds of whom had neve; seen acorner-stone laying, to view what ‘all felt would be the solemn sorv- ices. ‘The Masons from Capital City Lodge No. 127 and Knights ‘Templars in full regalia were there ty perform the nevessary rites. The William Lodge of Bits band came preraved to perform the duties for which they were called to perform, ‘But the stone was never laid, at Teast not by the Masons, Misunderstanding Arises ‘The first misunderstanding arose when it was discovered that there Wa ng sone there to be laid, it i said, “After some talk and seek- ing around it was found that the proper stone had not been pre- pared, but a stone that was evident- jy suitable to the pastor of the church, Rev. T. J. King, had: al- rectly been placed in what the Mfa- sons termed the improper place. According to Masonic custom, Geo. Washington, a member of the Or- der, informed the pastor that the ay place where a corner-stone could be laid properly was’ in the northeast corner of the building. Rev, King insisted, it is claimed, on having the stone placed in the front part of the building which fciees west, saying that he got his uuthority. from the architect and contractor who informed him that they lay corner-stones on any cor- ner, Heated Words Pass Considerable more talk was had, which added to the confusion, and provoked .2in exchange of heated | words. It was then found that the improvised stone in which the trea- sure was to have been dropped was only a cement cast set in the place of the stone, possibly the same day aid was too green even to support itgelf, it is said, According to Mr. Washington, the pastor ‘insisted on having the | ceremony petformed, while the Ma- sons were adverse £0 ;oinge on with what they believed to be a farce. Rey. King is said to have then tak- en from Dr. O. W, Moone, a table, which was being prepared as an alter for the occasion, and with the assistance of another minister, preceded to perform the rites him: self, Mr, Washington, in chargeot the Masons, thereupon ordered that body to retire; which they did pragefalls, washing their hands of the whole matter and marched back to the Temple. while most of the:crowd left in disgust. Dr. King. when <inproached by tho: Journal and Guide representa- tivg-on the subject, was non-com- mittal, saying that he could not make a statement without condemn ingethe other ee which would be \of no good. In his statement nithr the sermon Sunday morning, Dr.. King claimed that the Masons handled him roughly, slightly push- ing:him aside. He complained that he had not a deacon of the church nea\: him to assist him in any way. It is being openly said on the NORFOLK JOURNAL’AND.

The law should be greater than the mob everywhere. Absentee Witnesses Those who inspired the present agitation to place Hampton Institute in a false light before the people of the State, and who framed and advocated the adoption of the resolutions which were broadcast by the associated press Friday night admitted, rather boasted, in the meeting that they have never visited Hampton Institute, and some them said they never would set foot up the campus. When the matter which they have now brought to a crisis comes before the general assembly there will in all probability be some people on hand to testify we have visited Hampton Institute, and we have kept in intimate touch for years with the internal policies and operations of the renowned educational institution, and that the truth will be known. If in spite of the truth, the general assembly passes the law which it is called upon to enact upon a testimony of these absentee witnesses, the body will not do justice to Hampton Institute. A full and complete hearing on the matter when it comes up in the general assembly will expose one of the greatest spiracies of modern times to injure a useful educational institution in order to further the ends of selfish ambition.

Tribune's 41st Anniversary In commemoration of its 41st anniversary, the Philadelphia Tribune last week issued a 24-page progress edition, eight pages of which consisted of a pictorial rho graynure section.

Washington High School Team The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is not dispos to applaud athletic prowess above and beyond academic attainments of students, l when the season's record of the Booker Washington high school football team considered in relation to the scant facility and meagre funds available for athletic activities at the school, it becomes somewhat remarkable. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is not disposed to applaud athletic prowess above and beyond academic attainments of students, but when the season's record of the Booker T. Washington high school football team is considered in relation to the scant facilities and meagre funds available for athletic activities at the school, it becomes somewhat remarkable. The team made a clean sweep of its association games, and in doing so produced individual players that would be a credit to any high school eleven. Norfolk has every reason to be proud of the players, and their fellow-students can afford to applaud them with a deep sense of admiration. Both the city and school got some real good advertising out of the feats of Booker T. Washington football squad on the gridiron this year. Coach Owen Wilson has to a remarkable degree overcome the heavy odds of an apathetic public, scant funds and meagre facilities and developed a football machine which redounds greatly to his credit, especially is this true when it is remembered that the local school has no appropriation with which to pay a coach for his services. Most of the colored high schools of the State labor under a similar handicap, however, this does not detract from the brilliant record of the Booker T. Washington team. Editorial Page of Drawing The Race Line Foolishly We can all appreciate the high position taken by the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, in dealing with the protest of the Hampton branch of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs against the appearance of the glee club of the University of North Carolina at Hampton Institute, because the authorities refused to make separation of races in seating those who should attend the recital. Of those who do not like to take their chances in such seating why don't they remain away, and thus avoid unpleasantness for themselves and for others? asks the Virginian-Pilot. That is the sensible thing to do. But who expects the Anglo-Saxon Clubs to do anything sensible? The students of the white colleges of the South should take more interest in the students of the colored colleges. It would be a mutual service, and there should be no social equality nonsense mixed up with the interest and mutual service. Both races of students are preparing for service in the same communities and if they should begin to know each other better in the student days it would be all the more helpful when they begin work in their several localities. They need a common intellectual viewpoint. The easiest way to get it is by cultivating it as the students of the University of North Carolina show a disposition to cultivate it in the student days. Drawing the race line foolishly and unnecessarily is dangerous business, hurtful to all concerned. The white intellectual South needs to draw closer in sympathy and service, to the intellectual colored South. Their civil, economic interests are common.

The Rural Teacher School teaching in its true meaning ranks among the noblest of human callings, whether it be teaching the youth of the urban or rural districts. But certainly there are peculiarly difficult problems confronting the rural teacher, and with which the city teacher does not have to cope, that lend to the former an air of martyrdom. Undoubtedly, it was a realization of this fact that moved Major Allen Washington of Hampton Institute, to remark in the course of an address before the Negro State Teachers' Association Friday night: "I sympathize with the country teachers, it is they who do the hardest work of the profession."

Undoubtedly, it was a realization of this fact that moved Major Allen Washington of Hampton Institute, to remark in the course of an address before the Negro State Teachers' Association Friday night: "I sympathize with the country teachers, it is they who do the hardest work of the profession." Major Washington's remarks were timely. Our country teachers are veritable outposts of civilization. They brave long walks or rides over stretches of open country in the bleak of winter, often to spend the day teaching in dilapidated buildings. These teachers generally have to serve a class room instructor, fireside teacher and nurse. When they are cherry, patient and imbued with a real philosophy of life they carry with them in the country a revolutionizing influence. Certainly they need every encouragement. The Negro State Teachers meeting here was a very inspiring event, and one from which the teachers will undoubtedly receive much benefit. The discussions carried on in the several departmental meetings indicated that Virginia has, in the main, a high type and consecrated Negro teacher.

Senator Blease Should Be Ashamed By a slow process of elimination, Senator James Kirkman Vardaman and John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, Benjamin F. Tillman of South Carolina, Senator Thos. E. Watson of Georgia, who had made the race issue one to harp on whenever they wanted to fire the Ephesian dome at home, and who kept the race question odiously before Congress, were called up higher "from dirty labor to reward," by their Lord, and thus had their mouths shut by death or resignation or defeat, as in the case of Mr. Vardaman and John Sharp Williams. Senator Thomas Heflin, after being promoted to the Senate from the House, ceased to harp eternally on the race string. All in all, we were beginning to feel that the Federal Congress had been cleaned out of the professional race strife breeders, and had hopes that we should have no more of them. We certainly do not need any of them. By a slow process of elimination, Senator James Kirkman Vardaman and John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, Benjamin F. Tillman of South Carolina, Senator Thos E.

In a moment of mental aberration the legislature of South Carolina elected Former Governor Coleman L. Blease to a seat in the Federal Senate. He has always shown an unreasonable craziness on the race question, but it was hoped that time and education had liberalized his head. In a symposium published in the Sunday edition of the New York World, Senator Blease wrote the following sentences of stupidity and reaction from sane and just policy: "I would pass an act forbidding any white person marrying a Negro; would segregate the races; would have separate street cars, railway trains, hotels and restaurants; giving to the Negro equal service." Is it not a calamity that a man so constituted mentally should be elected by a sovereign state to represent it in the National Congress, the highest and most imposing legislative body on earth! It certainly is. We do not think the Senate or the American public will be disposed to stand much of the race strife thunder of Senator Please, who should be ashamed of himself, as the people of South Carolina should be. BUSINESS TALKS By C. E. ARMSTRONG Transportation Every enterprise, whether it be the corner-stone merchant with annual sales of $25,000 or the gigantic U. S. Steel Corporation, with annual sales of over a billion dollars, are alike at It Pays To Be Frank J. Thomas Newsome, most estimable citizen and good lawyer, sent a letter to the Daily Press, the purport of which was to show the Newport News paper that it is grossly in error in its efforts to make it appear that something is going on at Hampton Institute which is contrary to sound public policy. Mr. Newsome's letter was couched in diplomatic terms, so tactful that it lost its definiteness upon the mind of the recipient, who promptly took advantage of the softness of Mr. Newsome's words and used them to bolster up the outrageous tirade against the school. Now Mr. Newsome regrets that he wrote the letter. He spoke of the editor of the Daily Press as being his personal friend. The former acknowledges the relationship and says "it is no presumption on the part of Thomas Newsome to say that he and the editor of the Daily Press are personal friends." We do not know how the editor of the Daily Press cultivates his friends. At the meeting in Hampton last Friday night he declared in his address that if a colored man came to his front door he would take his shotgun and run him away. We don't know how Mr. Newsome regards this expression upon the part of his friend. We do not conceive of him going to the editor's front door for social purposes, but if he wanted to see him at his home on business he would have to go around to the back door or run the risk of being shot. The editor of the Daily Press recently wrote in his paper of the friendship that existed between himself and the venerable Matt N. Lewis, editor of the Newport News Star, and called upon Mr. Lewis to witness that he was right in his inhuman assault upon one of the greatest institutions in the State, but Matt N. Lewis was not caught off his guard. He promptly, publicly and in unmistakable language repudiated the editor of the Daily Press. That is what Mr. Newsome should have done. Mr. Newsome's letter was garbled by the Newport News editor in his comment upon it. He took what suited his purposes and left off that which opposed his purposes. For instance he made much of Mr. Newsome's statement that "Hampton Normal School has made a miserable failure if it teaches social equality," but failed to emphasize the conclusion of the point he was trying to make, which in Mr. Newsome's own language was that: "The Hampton Normal School located in the Old Dominion, with its students coming from all corners of the earth, has yet to record the first attempt of any of its students to attempt to intermarry with the white race." Speaking of his personal friends among the colored race the editor of the Daily Press declares: "But there is a line which God Almighty drew but the colored friend of the editor of the Daily Press never cross it. The line is never mentioned between them for it is not necessary." Then he colored friends are far more sensible and self-controlled than those of his own kind Speaking of his personal friends among the colored race the editor of the Daily Press declares: "But there is a line which God Almighty drew but the colored friends of the editor of the Daily Press never cross it. The line is never mentioned between them for it is not necessary." Then his colored friends are far more sensible and self-controlled than those of his own kind, for someone has crossed the line, and is constantly crossing it, but it is not the colored people. His testimony in behalf of the colored people of Virginia is vastly inconsistent with his insane diatribes against an institution that has done more than any other single influence in Virginia to inculcate the very principles he admires in them. Mr. Newsome will learn that it pays to be frank. Some of our leading men have the habit of glossing over what they have to say to white folks. It is an old racial trait, handed down from slavery days, and has been the means of extracting whatever Negroes wanted in the line of sufferance from the white folks. The servile manner and attitude of the supplicant flattered the gullible and conceited whites and got what the Negro wanted. Of course it never was much, but it was the servility of the Negro rather than the merit of his request that got results. The educated white man of the new day would prefer that a Negro say what he has in his mind in a frank, upstanding manner and leave off the ballahoo. He can be sure then that the Negro is sincere, and he appreciates sincerity. Right there is where Mr. Newsome erred. He did not mean what his friend Copeland thought he meant. He ought to tell him right to his teeth what he does mean and tell him in language that he can understand. BUSINESS TALKS By C. E. ARMSTRONG Transportation Every enterprise, whether it be the corner-stone merchant, with annual sales of $25,000 or the gigantic U. S. Steel Corporation, with annual sales of over a billion dollars, are alike affected by poor transportation facilities; the only difference is the size and complexity of the thing. The problems of the small man mentioned are simple; they center mainly upon getting the proper delivery service from his wholesaler; without the proper service he is compelled to carry a much larger inventory account, which cuts down his turnover, and compels him to tie up funds in merchandise that move slowly, but he must carry because some of his customers desire them. At the other extreme, adequate transportation is of such vital importance to the steel corporation, that they cannot afford to leave it to private enterprise, but have gone in the transportation business themselves, thus insuring prompt and better service both to themselves and to their customers. Again, the problem of the small merchant would be very simple if forced to transport his own merchandise; he would have to hire or buy a truck thereby solving his own problem. All businesses after they have passed the one-man stage, are affected by poor transportation service, and have entered the business; and some retail organizations like the great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, are operating a fleet of several hundred trucks. This situation of poor transportation became very acute during the recent World War, when transportation was the crux of every order; in closing all orders, salesmen were asked not what will the merchandise cost, but how soon can it be delivered. This situation led to the placing, by merchants, and manufacturers, of large orders for future delivery, in order to protect themselves. The consequence was, that when a slump in business became evident, in the spring of 1920, manufacturers had placed millions of dollars in finished or semi-finished products, against the future delivery to their customers. On the other hand, the retailer found himself with his shelves and warehouses full of merchandise that he had bought to protect himself against poor delivery, when the public was on a buying spree; when a buyer's strike became evident, and the public sought values and bought sparingly both manufacturer and retailer slashed prices to the bone; there developed in business which at its peak became not very acute, called cancelitis; the cause of this disease was not entirely due to poor transportation facilities, but it was greatly aggravated by this, because it compelled all dealers to carry a much larger inventory than they ordinarily would have had to. It behooves the management of every new enterprise, whether it be retail or manufacturing, in choosing their business location to consider the problems of transportation both for incoming raw material, and out-going finished products. A Test For Brotherhood A Test For Brotherhood Rev, Joseph Ernest Mc Afee (white) writing in "The Christian Century" states that Bermuda Negroes have become restless, because "race relations in Bermuda are not altogether satisfactory." Bishop McAfee writes, "The very fact that the Negro majority has attained such unusually high social levels must more and more complicate a situation where the black man aspires and the white man still counts sacred the doctrine that the Negro must know and 'keep his place.' There is likely to be sharp disagreement between the two races as to what that place is. Politely and socially, the Bermuda Negro, like the black world around, is restless; he wonders whether he is getting a square deal while his large majority is represented in the local parliament at most by one, two, three or four members of his more and more self-conscious race, and while white influence, self-consciously white, otherwise dominates the political and social order. The Negroes attend upon the services of the religious establishment, when they want to, of course. But their pews are segregated. Perhaps they wish them to be so. But ostentatious white superiority in the location Saturday. December 5. 1925 Pertinent Observations on That "Eternal Negro Question" WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE We speak of a land of "freemen," a home of "brave men," and before us arises the picture of fellow-beings and fellow-citizens denied their natural and civil rights. The Negro with upraised hands, in his quality of God's creature, cries out: "I am the work of Thy hands, O Lord, my God, my only hope!" In his quality of citizen, with pathos and feeling to move a stone, he appeals to fair-minded Americans: "I am thy brother; yet an outcast in our father's home." However, the national heart, with reproachate sense, feels no stings of remorse. The eyes and ears of the vast majority of white men neither see nor hear. And on and on the tragedy goes through the years, but never reaches the climax. Would that it would, and then close the reign of inequalities! The writer asks American Christians, and Catholics especially, to consider on the one hand the cruel persecutions and on the other hand the utter helplessness of the prostrate, suppliant Negroes. The Negroes brush shoulders with us, are with us by a right as fixed as the stars, by every right, political, natural and divine. Perhaps, if sufficient thought were given to the conditions, Americans might rise to blot out the disgrace, and Catholics might be moved to lift up those souls redeemed in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ and bid them look up to Christ's Church, at all times the comforter and friend of the lowly and the down trodden. Society and the Nation have been prime offenders in their dealings with the Negroes. For more than three hundred years has the tragedy been in the making, and the denouement has not come. To call this statement into question is to brand oneself as either ignorant or deceiving; perhaps, both. the mere making of laws, the drafting of resolutions at meetings, the issuing of pamphlets, the words of touring lecturers, the recasting of our National Constitution or its amending, will not, separately or jointly, effect any hasty cure of the appalling evil which stands as our shame, shakes civilization to its very base, and tells a watchful, gazing world, that apparently humanity is out of joint in the United States. The aforesaid means are but preliminaries, and do not go to the root of the evil. They have no force beyond their meaning as words, and they are but sounding brass and tinkling cymbals whose blare pierces the atmosphere but touch not a heart. A struggle that will bring into play every power must be made. With a Nation's mind preyed upon by an angry sea of surging Editor Journal and Guide, Sir:—You will find enclosed my check for $2.00 in payment of another year's subscription to your able paper without which I feel now that I could hardly get along. Its present size enables one to get weekly "all the news that's worth reading" and the editorials are clean-cut, fearless, and will compare favorably with those of any of the larger metropolitan papers. While the Negro press, generally speaking, does not receive by far the appreciation and credit that it so justly merits, I believe the time is approaching when the public is beginning more and more to realize something of the real good that the race receives both directly and indirectly from it. With every good wish for your continued success and hoping that the support of your splen did publication is increasing in the manner which it so fully deserves. I remain. of pews, and in the personnel of the officiary, embarrasses the struggle of the racial majority to self-respect, however, sincerely they acknowledge them selves relatively backward now. Here is a test for a daring brotherhood under an establishment of the Christian religion in a modern democracy." Rev. J. Thomas Brady is a white Catholic priest engaged in Catholic missionary work among the colored people. Pertinent observations on "That Eternal Negro Question," appeared in the November edition of "Our Colored Missions," a publication of the Catholic Church devoted to the cause implied in its name. The discussion takes on an added significance when it is realized that at the present time Negroes entertain more liberal views concerning membership in the Catholic Church than at any time during the history of the Race. It is said that the Catholics are making significant inroads on colored Protestantism, a move in which they are considerably aided by the Ku Klux Klan and other racial intolerance agencies. prejudices, and with only puerile efforts made to remove the furious elements, the fight is lost before the arena is reached. The struggle requires planning, studying, persistent action and scheming. The forces that must be enlisted in the battle must have no parley with that subterfuge, known in slang phraseology as "Passing the buck." Neither should any shelter be given to "Let George do it." Flame-like "dare" must light the mind of these forces, and nerve their souls. Seraph-like "Do" must radiate from their tireless fram, dilate their being, and warm their bosoms, as they battle in the spiritual power of "God wills it." And ever and in all things must the words of the Psalmist be remembered: "Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it." (Ps. 126-1). The first necessity in the solution of the intricate and knotty problem is a sensible and just agreement as to the starting point. This can be nothing less than that the complexity of this burning Negro Question is, by far and large, the creation of the Caucasian. The Negroes have not sought their own crucifixion. It is, therefore the duty of the whites to "get on the job," to rub their heavy eyes and to close the switches from off the main track of movement. They have been the unjust aggressors, and if any scalping is to be done, their heads must bend before the knife of Justice. The issue must be placed on a high moral plane, and to it must be summoned Justice, Charity, and Christian Liberty. No other principles will settle for aye the status of the poor colored man. History tells us that in 1620 the first ill-fated band of Negroes landed among the English colonists of Virginia in the vicinity of Jamestown. More than a passing remark might be offered to those English settlers for such crushing evidence of Editor Journal and Guide, Sir: Please find enclosed my check for $2.00, renewal subscription for 1926. Notwithstanding on Sunday night, September 27, my house was burned and I lost by fire my entire household and kitchen furniture including my library worth more than $800.00, I cannot afford to be without the JOURNAL AND GUIDE in my home, a paper that means so much to my race. I make a purely unsolicited statement when I say I think this paper should be a visitor to every home in the Negro Race. REV. L. J. ALEXANDER Poet's Corner "Efficiency Efficiency that fateful word, It rolls the world around. It peals in thunder from the skies, It rumbles under ground. Efficiency the farmer said, Twill raise me better crops. Efficiency the feeder quoth. Will fatten up my stock. Efficiency the miller feels, His flour barrels will fill. Efficiency the doctor says, Will cure most any ill. Efficiency the teacher seeks, To find in every class. Efficiency if rightly used, Will save us all at last. Efficiency the house wife has, Anglo-civilization, set up on a soil subsequently consecrated to the unrestricted enjoyment of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." In hypocrisy the enslavement of the Negro had its birth. Our one-time "first cousins" and "Co operators," in the "foundir" as well as in the "establishment" of the basic principles of the future American Republic, the English, came here to escape persecution and bondage in "faerie merrie" England. In Massachusetts, the banners on the outer walls proclaimed "freedom"; but along the cool waters of the James River the breezes of Heaven were contaminated with the presence of slavery. How many in those days registered a protest, history sayeth not; but at any rate, and mark it well, slavery found a HOME its first HOME, its only HOME north of the Rio Grande, where men had come, as they said, to escape slavery. In a British paradise (?) of political freedom fellowmen were to taste of slavery's tree of death. A strange anomaly to be explained, only by hypocritical selfishness! It is time that hypocrisy and selfishness be banished. Years passed, a war was fought and won, slavery was said to have ended, but the condition of the crushed and bleeding Negro had not changed much for the better. Prejudice and persecution attended the Negro's political birth in this country of ours and tied him with the chains of another slavery, the clanking of which chains still rocks civilization and makes Christianity tremble in anxiety, pity and horror. Critics may question these statements and cite a Presidential Proclamation of Emancipation, and brandish a very handy Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This Proclamation has served a purpose, we will be told. Shall we say that it has served the one purpose, with many Americans, of filling them with an logical feeling of revenge to be visited upon the heads of the Negroes? Lincoln gave teeth to his Proclamation, and the usages of time and the forceps of the dentist, "Expediency," have extracted the annoying incisors and molars. As to the potency and the efficiency of the Constitutional amendment, we will not say more than that it sounds fine, and should be pressed into real service, or in the failure thereof, should be forgotten. The incidents of each day's life, the actions of officers of the law, the speeches of political job hunters, go far in proving that the Proclamation and the Amendment all are mere words, genuine American "scrapes of paper." And serves with every meal. Efficiency the builder seeks, In putting up his steel. Efficiency so sages say, Will win in any fight. Efficiency in guns and men, Efficiency in might. So let us have Efficiency, Get it by any plan. For we must have Efficiency, In woman, child and man. —PROF. G. W. OWENS CAMERA is a KODAK. Little or big, young or old they all want a Kodak.
