Norfolk Journal and Guide SEEKS TO END U. S. CONTROL OF THE ISLAND Democrat Senator Would Turn Haitian Affairs Over to Haitians, and Investigate Conduct of U. S. General. SAYS INTERVENTION IS DISADVANTAGEOUS (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., Dec. 16—Two resolutions introduced in the Senate last week by Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, are designed to free Haiti from the domination of the United States. One of these resolutions provide for the withdrawal of United States naval forces from the island republic and for abrogation of any treaty or protocol providing for the control of the revenues of Haiti by the United States. In fact, it would put an end to American intervention on the island. The other resolution seeks to inform the Senate on the activities of Brigadier General John H. Russell in Haiti. Both resolutions were referred to the committee on foreign relations. The resolution with reference to the relations between the United States and Haiti is as follows: "Whereas the relations between the United States and the Republic of Haiti have assumed a condition which is unsatisfactory to the habitual conduct of the other disadvantage to the United States, which condition is due in large measure to the presence of the naval forces of the United States in said country and the exercise by the United States of the control of the finances and revenues of said country; and the effect of the intervention by the United States in the political affairs of the said country, the direction of their revenues and finances, and the police of the same by the United States naval forces has been accomplished and there is no further advantage either to the United States or said country from any continued intervention in its affairs: Now, there "Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate of the United States that the President should withdraw the naval forces of the United States now in Haiti and should arrange an abrogation of any trenty, protocol, or other agreement providing for the control of the revenues of Haiti by the United States, or providing for thevention of the United States in the political affairs of the state, country, and the sense of the Senate that Haiti should be free from any external interference with its domestic policies or internal administration." In 1923, 19 Per Cent of White Men Assessed Fail To Pay. While 39 Per Cent of Colored Were Delinquent. State records in Richmond revealed this week that in 1923, 19 per cent of the poll taxes assessed against white men were returned delinquent, while the percentage as to white women was 63. The percent of delinquent among colored women was the while among colored men included 99. This year marks the first that the State has had the opportunity to pursue against delinquent women per capita tax payers. The state constitution applying to men and women alike, prohibits the collection of poll taxes by legal process three years after the tax is due. This period has expired as it is concerned the first year when poll taxes were assessed against Virginia. Poll Taxes A Problem Collection of delinquent poll taxes presents a difficult problem, in spite of the legal machinery proceed for that purpose. Whenever (Continued on Page Eight) Entered as Second.

That was the terse comment of Miss Mabel Holloway, senior Liberal acts student at Howard University, whose selection as a member of the executive committee of the Executive Students Federation caused the withdrawal of the Louisiana State University representative from the federation. Miss Holloway talked freely about the National Collegiate World Court Conference, which was held at Princeton University last day and Saturday and the close of which the National Students Federation was formed. She was a member of the executive committee planned the world court conference. But she avoided telling about the stirring drama in which she was the principal figure. It was Miss Marion Thompson, junior liberal art student, one of the University representatives at the conference who gave a detailed story of the affair.

LAUTIER Talks Freely About Conference NAME OF C. R. WHARTON PUT TO THE SENATE President Names Massachusetts Man For Secretary In The Diplomatic Service Of The United States. FORMER CLERK IN STATE DEPARTMENT Washington, D. C., Dec. 16—President Coolidge last Tuesday transmitted to the Senate the nomination of Clifton R. Wharton, of Massachusetts, to be secretary in the diplomatic service of the United States. This nomination recalls the coup of the State Department last spring to vid itself of the only colored person in the Foreign Service School. In order that American diplomats should be trained in all the wiles of international diplomacy before being sent abroad, a bill was passed in the last congress providing for a Foreign Service School in the State Department. An examination was held last January. Among the successful candidates for admission to the Foreign Service School was Mr. Wharton, who was already a clerk in the State Department. Only nineteen others passed the examination. Graduated Impromptu When the school was about ready to start, there were objections to Mr. Wharton on account of his color. Here was a diplomatic problem of major importance to be solved before the students had even learned the first principles of diplomacy. The veteran diplomats of the department were called together in and secret consultation. A diplomatic coup was quietly achieved. Mr. Wharton was graduated forthwith. Without taking a day of the year's required training, he was solemnly and officially (Continued on Page Three) Colored Schools Represented At World Conference Among the 245 colleges and universities represented by the 286 young men and women delegates at the National Collegegate World Court Conference in Principetin, N.

ATTEND FUNERAL OF PROMINENT WHITE VIRGINIAN Before Death, Frank W. Davie Of Lawrenceville, Requested That Archdeacon Russell And Chorus Be At His Bier (Special to Journal and Guide) Lawrenceville, Va., Dec. 14.—The funeral of Mr. Frank W. Davie took place yesterday. Mr. Davie was one of the best known white citizens and business men in the county, being at the time of his death president of the local telephone company, and interested also in other business ventures. Mr. Davie was a stanch friend and supporter of St. Paul Normal and Industrial School and was greatly interested in its work of uplift and its efforts to promote better race relations. A short while before his death he expressed a wish, in which his wife joined, that Archdeacon Russell and singers from St. Paul be invited to take some part at his funeral. He died Saturday morning. Archdeacon Russell was in Norfolk to fill Sunday engagements in Norfolk and Hampton. At the request of the family he was wired to return as he was desired as an honorary pall bearer. Archdeacon Russell came up Saturday night and both he and his son, Rev. J. Alvin Russell, attended the funeral as honorary pall bearers. St. Paul Singers The general services were held at the house, the Rev. Mr. Gayle, pastor of the M. E. Church South, was the officiating minister. By request of Mrs. Davie a mixed sexette from St. Paul's School two selections at the house: "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and "Nearer My God To Thee" and "Lead Kind Light" at the grave. The incident is worth noting as showing the excellent race relations existing. The requests came entirely unsolicited by the school and was in the nature of a surprise. A large number of friends and business associates of Mr. Davie were present and there seemed to be perfect acquiescence in the arrangement. Mr. Davie was one of the best men in the county and was highly thought by both white and black for his integrity, broad-mindedness and likeable personality. It was the first time in the history of the county that Negroes had beer to act as bearers at a white funeral Negro singers to appear. It is another incident that shows that it is possible for the races to live together in peace harmony and good feeling. PRES. DURKEE EXONERATED BY TRUSTEES PRES. DURKEE EXONERATED BY TRUSTEES Alumni Association Considers Action of Howard University Board a "Whitewash" Of Head of The Institution. MOVE TO FORCE A CONGRESSIONAL PROBE Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.—The fight by the alumni of University to oust J. Sturley Durkee from the presidency of that institution will be shifted to Congress as a result of his complete exoneration by the board of trustees at a special meeting on last Thursday to investigate the charges which had been preferred against him and to inquire into the summary dismissal of four professors last June. To Go To Congress The leaders in the fight against Dr. Durkee believe that they can force a congressional investigation in connection with congressional appropriations for the university. It is not their desire to have Congress refuse to appropriate money for the maintenance of the school but they would justify a congressional probe into affairs at the university upon the advisability of Congress making the appropriations. The university administration expects this move. Its spokesman declare that they can-muster--many votes against a congressional probe as the opposition can get in support of it. The alumni believe that they are in a strategic position to force a congressional investigation. They have a stenographic report of the hearing before the trustee board and consider the evidence as supporting their charges against Dr. Durkee of incompetence, arbitrariness, the establishment and an unjustified handling of professors, diverting appropriations, favoritism and insulting the Race. Durkee Disapproved Special emphasis is put upon the statements expressing disapproval of the conduct of Dr. Durkee made by members of the faculty, particularly Dean Kelly, Miller, Dr. Ernest E. Just, Dean Geo. W. Cook, Dr. William V. Tunnell, Dean Dwight O. W. Holmes, Dean Lace Slowe, Professors Roy W. Tibbs, Charles H. Wesley, William Coleman and Miss Lola V. Childer. During the hearing about fifty members of the faculty were called in by the trustee board to state whether or not they approved of Dr. Durkee's administration of Howard University. The older faculty members with the exception of Dr. E. P. Davis expressed disapproval. Dr. Davis and Dean Woodard joined with the most recently employed faculty members in expressing approval. President Exonerated The trustees voted an exoneration Continued From Page 3 Georgia Answers Jersey Insult By Freeing Parmore (Special to Journal and Guide) N. J.—When the state of Georgia requested Governor Silzer of New Jersey to return Sillas Parmore to Georgia for trial for murder, interested persons protested to the Governor that Parmore would not get a fair trial in the state where his alleged crime was committed. The newspapers of Elizabeth, N. J., joined in the ridicule of Georgia justice wherever a Negro is concerned. Governor Silzer signed the extradition papers and declared if Parmore did not get a fair trial, he would never return another fugitive to Georgia. Parmore was recently tried and acquitted. Governor Walker of Georgia, wrote Mr. Silzer: "You will recall the insults heaped upon the state of Georgia by the Elizabeth, N. J. papers, and this incident illustrates the same of outside men has been fit to emphasize Georgia as bad, while as a matter of fact, the state of Georgia and its people are no worse than those of other states."

Durham, N. C.—A gift to Kittrell College, Kittrell, N. C., by B. N. Duke of this city and New York, was announced here this week by John M. Avery, secretary of the board of trustees of the college. The money is in addition to $200,000 given to the school last spring by Mr. Duke and announced at the commencement exercise. This brings Mr. Duke's total gifts to the school up to a million dollars within recent months. The money is to be used for buildings and equipment with a gift bringing the college up to the third building on campus and the training of colored youth in America, to be surpassed only by Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes. John R. Hawkins, fiscal agent for the A. M. E. Church, owners of the institution, was instrumental in securing the large gifts and who has just returned from a conference with Mr. Duke in New York, reported the latest benefaction to the administrative committee of the school. Mr. Hawkins has sistently contributed merits of Kittrell College before the New York and Durham millionaire-philanthropist. Development Program The committee has already laid out the program to be carried out as a result of the Duke benefactions. It consists of the erection of a science hall, administration building and library, nomination dormitory and memorial chapel in honor of late Angier B. Duke of B. N. Duke, who was drowned near New York two years ago. The plan is for the entire project to be completed and ready for use early in 1927. The board of trustees of the institution has been given to understand, it is said, that Mr. Duke proposes to back the college in a development program that will make it one of the best equipped Negro schools in the country. To this end, we have hundred acres of land owned the present site in been purchased a landscape architect to be employed to lay out the grounds and to locate the new buildings, with a view to beautifying the campus for the general convenience of the plant.

"It is quite possible that the Indiana delegate's misgivings as a sentiment back home were used. He must be granted the permission of sincerity. But that not make the case any the less stable. There are enterprises which the two races can work as well as enterprises in they can best work separate from the problem in Americans in desecrating this difference and ordering our act accordingly. In a national delegate conference called to for such casual duties as stating the judgment of Asian undergraduates on the Court, Negro colleges have upper place and official record of that place implies no surge of racial distinctiveness and national affront. We believe in declining to join the Georgetown Louisiana delegates, Rachinaway, of the University of Iowa took the view that will be served by those discriminating white elements that see necessity of mixing the doctrine of racial separateness with reason common sense.

Cooper EYESIGHT SPECIALIST 704 CHURCH ST.-COR QUEEN Glasses $1.20 a week RACE RELATIONS MUST CHANGE (Continued from Page One) Interracial Justice In appointing Machel Holloway, a Negro student at Howard University, on its executive committee the National Collegiate World Court Conference at Prince Edward made an arrest. This arrest lay in selecting her over other delegates presumably not so well qualified but in failing to engage accurately the narrowness that prevails in the South generally when ever the question of even the most casual contact with our colored citizens is involved. That this attitude should be held strongly by such organizations as the Ku Klux Klan is a matter for regret, but that its poison should also pervade our institutions or higher learning is nothing short of a calamity. It is becoming daily more evident that our conception of the interrelationship of the white and colored races must undergo a change. The generation that regarded slavery, and the concomitant subordination of one race to the other, as Divine right, has gone. The sons and daughters of that generation are also passing. From now on, public affairs and public influence will be in the hands of a younger generation able to regard our racial problems in the cold light of reason, more or less divorced, according to individual enlightenment, from a philosphy that antedates the Civil War. Intelligent Negroes will not be discouraged by the scattered protest against the Holloway appointment, for they are seeing too many signs of a changing tide of sentiment. Informed public opinion in the South no longer condones lynching. Millions are being spent annually by the Southern states for Negro education. Southern cities are rapidly forming commissions for the purpose of approaching the racial question intelligently and cooperatively. It may be that the fuss stirred up over Mabel Holloway is a good thing for all concerned. Its very publicity may direct attention of intelligent Southerners to the fact that the time has come when our inter-racial relations must be deflated" of its hysteries and readjusted in the light of reason."

PAGE THREE The institution has grown, and prospered in the hands of its administrative committee, and friends of the school feel that it is through a confidence in their ability to make a still greater success of it that Mr. Duke has made it the recipient of his benefactions. Half of the $200,000 given last June by Mr. Duke went into the endowment, which row amounts to $150,000, and the remainder of the gift went for new buildings, now under way. The college has now an enrollment of between 300 and 400 students row, and with the new equipment can accommodate 600 to 700 students. The college is 30 years old. co geet eA TT “PAGE-FOUR ‘VARSITY ‘#10 | LARCE-NUMBER - * ‘Washington, D..C#-The Depart- ment of Physical’ Education, thru the Howard University Board of Athletic Control, awarded ‘certifi- cates and the varsity “H” for baseball, track, and basketball at the noonday assembly held. in An- drew Rankin Memorial Chapel Tuesday, November 24.

C., Dec. 14—The Shaw University cagers are showing great form in their daily workouts prehistory to a schedule that will make them against the best team, of the country. Shr. like Hampton suffers to a certain extent because of the loss of a few stalwart players, but with the infusion of new blood, the Bear clint should develop a system of team play that will prove hectic for any live they meet, for they still have a formidable nucleus left over from last year's squad in Captain Fallenker, Black, Fowler and Armstrong. Captain Falkener, the winner of the Chicago Defender Cup in the 440 event at Hampton last year, will again lead the "Bear" of 1924. This, within itself, considering the general run of things, is substantial proof that he is a player of merit, and an exceptionally good leader. Shaw opens her schedule with Christian College at Raleigh, December 18. However, her first real test under pressure will not come until she meets St. Paul, her first C. I. A.

J.C.SMITH UNIV ADMITTED TO THE C.I.A.A Hampton, Va.—Representatives of the seven institutions composing the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association met at Hampton Institute last Friday and Saturday and held one of the most constructive and progressive comfabs in the history of the Association. Methods and plans for a general improvement of the athletics in the schools were discussed and many pertinent and timely suggestions were made through the medium of well-prepared and pointed papers written by the Athletic Directors of the various institutions. Johnson C. S. Smith University, (formally Biddle University), of Charlotte, N. C., was admitted to membership in the Association. With Dr. W. G. Alexander presiding Saturday, one of the most helpful sessions was held. Among the interesting papers read and discussed during the meeting was the comment of Mr. P. B. Young, Editor of the Norfolk Journal and Quile. Other good articles were read by Coach Hurt of Virginia Seminary, Coach Byarm of A. and T. College, Coach Taylor of St. Paul, Mr. Rogers of Va. N. and I. L., Coach Harvey of Va. Union, Coach Smith of Hampton Institute and Coach Finley of Va. N. and I. I. Influence of Fraternities A paper on "The Influence of Fraternities upon Athletics in our schools," by Mr. T. L. Puryear of the Athletic Department of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, elicited a heated discussion. The timely topics of creating interest to a greater extent in athletics, of competent officials, of loyalty to school, of extending track and field programs, of inducements to athletes and other important questions were considered and acted upon in connection with the helpful contributions made to the body, through talks and papers. Football officials for 1926 were certified and the Executive Committee vested with the authority to designate officials from the certified list for all 1926 C. I. A. A. games. A definite fee was fixed to pay all officials in all games, including the Thanksgiving Day contests. Several controversies between Association schools were adjusted to the satisfaction of those institutions concerned. Hampton was officially awarded the 1925 football championship and the official All-C. I. A. A. elevators were picked by the delegated committee. Football schedules for 1926 were arranged so that all schools in the Association will play each other during the coming season. Trophy Offered The offer of a trophy by Frank Young to be given the Association team which will first win the Championship three times was accepted by the body. The 1926 Tennis Tourney will be at St. Paul, Lawrenceville, Va., it was decided. Dr. Gregg, president of Hampton, gave a very helpful talk on athletics, and particularly emphasized the evils of professionalism in college athletics. The officers of the Association elected for 1928 are as follows: President, Mr. T. L. Putyear, 1st vice president; Mr. E. Hurt, 2nd vice president; Dr. J. W. Barco, 3rd vice president; Mr. T. L.

Open Evenings. KNABE WAREROOMS 115 W. FREEMASON ST Godfrey Signed for Bout One-half of a contract between George Godfrey, Negro heav- weight and persistent challenger of Harry Wills, and anybody else —quite a liberal challenge—has been signed for Jess McMahon for a share in the Christmas Fund pro- gram on December 23, at Madison Square Garden. Godfrey is the one who has signed. And from the way in which George has been given the "slips" by a lot of the best ones, one might judge that Godfrey will be the only tighter to lay fist on the document. At least, they have been no radical moves in that direction so far. It's of no use to mention Dempsey, the inactive champion, as Jack entered the cauliflower industry chiefly with an economic harvest in view. He has made his in the game and is through. Wills, the other foremost prize fighter of today won't be in the show. An agreement with Dempsey prevents the Brown Panther from entering into any other fictional parties behind the alleged Dempsey-Wills, scrap next summer—another of Harry's beautiful illusions. Of course there are numerous other heavies all over the country who would like to lay hands on the prize, of whom might keep the dark shadow of Godfrey moving the entire route. But the public clamors for Wills or Dempsey, and any thing else will not satisfy. Enter Wild Bull of the Pampus From the press come reports that Senator Luis Angel Firpo, the pampered Bull from an America below ours, is planning a return trip to the States. The Senator also desires another engagement with Mr. Jack Dempsey. The champion has signified his willingness to re-massacre the already hampered, flattened Firpo. Such a bout would forever live in the history of pugilism as an outrage and a disgrace to the sport. Dempsey Continues to Dodge There's one more gap which Jack has to jump before he can enter the rig with the Angel or anyone else for that matter, and that is his proposed scrap with the Harlem threat. Dempsey doesn't want to fight Wills, and probably won't. It's time for him to hang up his gloves and stop fooling the blindfolded public. Another Conference Deprived of much ancient competition and minus an organization for further advancement of inter-collegiate a*t* athletics because of her unmarried satisfaction with with the laws of the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, Alpha Phi Alpha Takes Opener In Fraternity League Nashville, Teen, Dec—Before thundering applause and hilarious rooting that bespoke the tenseness of the occasion, the Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi quintets entered into a battle of skill and wit in opening up the inter-fraternal league at Meharry. The final score was 19-17. Substitutions: Alpha- Clark Young, Rabb. Kappa-Bell Referee, Johnson, (Lincoln) umire, "Tubby" Johnson (Fisk). arm, secretary-treasurer, Mr. C. H. Williams and Assistant Secretary, Mr. J. L. Whitehead. The aforementioned officers also composed the personnel of the Executive Committee. It was voted that the C. I. A. A. meet in 1926 at A and T. College, Greensboro, N. C. Howard advances a plan for forming another league of college, including Howard, Lincoln, Wilberforce, West Virginia, Fisk, Morgan, Morehouse, Atlanta, and Knoxville College. In any loop containing schools so decidedly intersections, Howard is sure to raise disturbance. Besides it will have to be an exceptional gate that will carry Moreshouse up to play Wilberforce, or to carry West Virginia down to sound off with Atlanta. There's not too much good to be got out of the "Big Nine", as the conference is termed. It has its advantages and its disadvantages. What Howard and Lincoln both should do is to concentrate every effort on mutual agreement in the present C. I. A. A. The C. I. A. A. But why bother the C. L. A. A Competition is as rare as it ever was. In fact, it seems decidedly keener than it has ever been. While Lincoln and Howard would certainly be assets to the steadily growing association, they are by no means necessary fixtures. Serving His Time Very rarely a football player is able to go the entire route of every game during the season especially when his chool undertakes any form of a difficult program and comes out champion. That is what "Wild Man" Lee has done for practically two consecutive years. In 1924 Lee missed about a minute, but this past season, he savagely endured sixty minutes to each one of Hampton's games. He is fully using his college football career to the greatest extent. And there are still two years more ahead of him. Criticising Football Games Bill Roper, famous Princeton mentor, recently said that the graded game was being too freely criticized by incompetent judge. This fact accounts for much of the destructive criticism is levied at and indulns because they fail to make long gains when a like advancement might mean victory. They fail to consider that forcermen have to make a path for every player, and just how much of a path is provided determines the length of the gain to a great extent. Another often injustice given a football team is a personal explanation of some play in which the critic or reporter accounts the gain or loss to one fact when it was technically just the opposite. Readers want facts and opinions will not suffice. ATHLETIC BOARD OF HOWARD MEET Washington, D.

Glennard Proprietors HAMPTON ROUTS MINER NORMAL IN FIRST TILT Hampton, Va., Dec.—Two minutes and 37 seconds of startling passing and attempted shotshad elicited before Edward Hargrove, veteran Saddler centrally caged a long and late field goal to open the offense which proved the undoing of the fast quintet of Miner Normal from Washington in Hampton's first basketball game of the season in the school gymnasium. Hargrove continued his shooting streak throughout the first half registering four field goals and two free throws while Alexander, made known in Hampton's tilt with Morehouse last season, sank one on a speedy follow-through and diminutive "Shorty" Lambridge in a free throw. Minor Normalall's passing was accurate, effective, and puzzling to the Seasider quint during the entire fracas, but continued inaccuracy in shooting limited the Capitals' City lads to three goals, in the first half made by Brown, Lancaster, and Jones. Miner Normal rallied in the final priors and Jones. the lanky pivot man who seconded Hargrove with 10 points, dropped four shots, while Sims, a substitute and Tinner egh made one. Lancaster cast a couple of free throws and Brown one. The Seasiders did not tax themselves to a great extent in the last half, but managed to run up 15 points with Lambrecht and Alexander accounting for two each, the former sinking a long one from a hurried pick-up while Alexander's were results of rapid following up of shots. Hargrove made another and retired. Captain Chester Jones, leading the Seasiders for the second consecutive year, also registered a goal but was forced to quit near the end of the game on account of a slight injury, "Cutic" Brown, a newcomer in the Seasiders camp, sank three free throws. Hampton is slated to encounter the St. Paul Tigers next Saturday at home. THE LINEUP Hampton—28 Miner Normal—21 Lambrecht F. Brown Alexander F. Lancaster Hargrove C. Jones Thatcher G.

In the meantime it has been voted by the Board of Athletic Control to proceed with the organization of a Collegiate Athletic Association regarding this matter will be made later. The Board authorized the issuance of a formal statement by Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the board, reviewing the football season at Howard during the past year. The statement furnished by Dr. Davis follows: "It is interesting at this time to review the record of Howard football teams as coached by Captain L. L. Watson, Director of the Department of Physical Education, Howard University. Captain Watson had charge of the coaching at Howard during the season 1923 and 1925, and proved each season that Howard had an unbeatable defense; and steady effective offense. Eight games were played during each of the seasons he coached as follows: 1923 Howard Opponents 7 Agricultural and Tech. Inst. 0 13 Lynchburg 0 15 Livingstone 0 10 Morehouse 0 7 Willberforce 0 19 Petersburg 7 10 Hampton 6 6 Lincoln 6 96 19 Howard's average, 12; Opponents' average, 2 5-8. 1925 Howard Opponents Downin Score Score Downin 15 27 Morgan Col. 0 5 14 21 Livingstone 0 5 7 0 J. C. Smith 0 5 7 0 West Va. 0 2 18 70 N. C. State 0 6 7 6 Wilberforce 0 4 8 8 Atlanta Univ. 0 0 5 0 Lincoln Univ. 0 7 81 140 0 26 "These records were made against the most formidable rivals in the country and not against nondescript teams. A review of the records of our opponents for the seasons mentioned will show that they were going at top form. "A remarkable feature of this accomplishment is that each season Coach Watson was forced to take teams in the country. Not only were they top notch teams, but in almost every case they were veteran teams with the same coaching a group of men whose ability he did not know and mould it into a machine to play some of the best system directing them for a college generation or more. "A short while ago, Yost, the famous Michigan coach, took occasion to praise his 1925 team He called it the best team he had ever coached. (He has coached for more than 20 years). He stressed the fact that his team showed its greatness by holding a conference team to three first downs. This statement was given wide publicity and heralded as a great accomplishment. How many have noted Watson's record at Howard. His 1925 team held N. C. State College to a 70-0 score and 18 to 0 first downs; and the strong Atlanta University team to a 7-0 score and 8 to 0 first downs. Yost lost several games; Walson has not lost a game in his two years of coaching at Howard. "Vost is conceded to be one of the greatest conches in the country and his praises are sung everywhere. Watson is a much younger man who does his work in a quiet unassuming manner. He has an exceptionally good record and a splendid future. "Watson, during the past year, has done remarkably well. We call upon Howard alumni, student body, officers and teachers, to give him a hand, and a little relief from being unduly harassed. When Percy Haughton first went to Columbia from Harvard his team lost most of its games. Did Diamond heckle him? No. They came out strongly in a resolution re-affirming their confidence in him and his ability to produce a winner the next year, and he did. Watson's first season has been a howling success. We hope for an even greater success in 1926." Elected Delegates To Pythian Convention Mr. W. H. Thorogood, 321 East Brambleton avenue, and M. G. W. Williams were unanimously elected delegates to the K. of P. convention which meets in Staunton in June, 1926.

ARE YOU FIT TO MARRY FEATURE AT THE PALACE Are You Fit To Marry", the most unusual photodramas ever produced, comes to the Palace theatre next Monday for 4 days only. The story, written by the well-known Jack Lait, offers some thing entirely in motion pictures. Filled with tears and laughter its dynamic story of real life pulls at the heart strings and brings home to all who see it a full knowledge of the grave dangers threatening them and old. A splendid cast of movie stars made the film and from a standpoint of production it is far above the average. It offers unique combination of thrills sensation, entertainment and education. Efforts never before attempted are presented with vivid reality. Conditions which have received little public consideration are so plainly and truthfully handled that we realize such things exist in our own neighborhood. The wall of secrecy that has omitted delicate subject from general turn away and the hideous truth of our Social Evil is presented in such a forceful way that practical-nothing is left to the imagination. As an extra added attraction, the well-known Jaww, Lawrence Brooke, S. S., noted writer and lecturer, will give a most interesting talk telling just what he found in his Nidew-lion investigation, and he will offer in proof of his startling statements his sensational exhibit of actual cases which he secured from the World's largest institutions. The exhibit has created wide spread interest. The case has been arranged and most refined manner, owing to the delicate subject with which it deals and the delicate scenes it will be shown strictly to separate audiences, and no children will be admitted unless accompanied by parents. Women only will be admitted Monday and Tuesday. Men only will be admitted Wednesday and Thursday. ATTUCKS HAS ONE OF FINEST PIPE ORGANS BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. The Attucks Theatre, 'Show Palace of the South', as an added attraction, has installed a Robert Morton Pit Pipe Organ and it was played Monday night for the first time in connection with the super- spectacular production. On the first night of playing, a special musical program was resen- dered before a gallery crawl. The new addition places the AT-Attucks Theatre far in the lead of Colored playhouses in the South. No other colored theatre cinema or guildueville theatre boasts of a Roberte Morton Pipe Organ and this special piece of musical mechanism is the best in the city. This organ cost the local theatre $15,000 and is included among the best of its type produced by the famous pipe organ concern. It is a direct representation of a symphony orchestra and its various devices enable a kaleidoscopic variety of musical tones to be produced. There are tones to fit the moods and emotions of characters on the screen, which enables the patrons to feel as well as see what the various stars of the silent drama are portraying, whether paths or joy, solitude or happiness, excitement or tranquility, anger or hate. And it produces many other fiery passions of the human soul. The Robert Morton comes to the Attucks as a permanent feature. It is distinctly, different from all other organs in its unapproached skin, mellow and soul reaching this. This organ provides the localized heat that equals to that of a pretentious The Attucks will exploit musical programmes on this organ as special features from now on. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS The showing of Cecil B. DeMille's superproduction, "The Ten Commandments," at the Attucks was one of the biggest attractions of the season at the local movie house throughout the entire program. The picture was very stirring and a striking likeness of many individuals of everyday life. It was a modern story evolved from Biblical history, cleverly, adroitly and coherently worked out to convey strong and far-reaching moral. It laid for its background, at the beginning of the picture, Egypt, the Egypt of old when it existed all of its glorious spendor and grandeur, such corvatic magnification that only prevailed in the history of those days, and the story finally worked down to the present time. The price of admittance to see the structure was raised by the local management, but this was only due to the fact that the production was allowed to be shown at a low price by the Famous-Players-Office Corporation. These produce bottom and top prices and the company will meet these demands. The Affordable will go back to its former name, beginning Monday of next FIRST TEAM L. E. Shaughter, (Howard)---- L. T.

Mantinee and Night That A Start THE TERRIBLE RESULTS OF UN-CLEAN LIVING THRILLING SENSATIONAL EXCITING IF YOU WANT A THRILL DON'T MISS THIS The All-Time All-Star Selection BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. Speaking about difficult tasks, in connection with the selecting and picking of all-American teams—be one for you. This annual picking of all-Americans is rather tame and mild, when stacked against the job of selecting all-Americans for all-time. It's a job that's combined with a grit cut more than a number would dream of. There is the possibility of ore becoming placed in a very difficult situation. There will be a defending hullabaloo and a display of acrobacy. There will be recommendations for observation in a psycho-pathic ward when this delicate piece of work has been considered finis and likewise completed. From the vast multitude of brilliants and near brilliants who have trodden down the gridizon, the selecting and picking of individuals above the average, is enough within itself, but when it comes to picking those who are far above the average and those who seem to have few peers, if any, is a job that carries with it, the risk of life, limb, peace of mind, happiness and the further pursuit of liberty. Further, it is one of the most daring and delicate situations to deal with.

I want to write lines to try in my weak HOTEL MOUNT VEAR way to tell my worries that I am having to endure. I was the unfortunate white woman that was criminally insulted in Asheville, N.C., on the morning of September 19, 1925, and I feel that I can never see any peace through life unless I can beg for the boys that thought they were doing the right thing when they went to the jail after the Negro who insulted me. "Now what I want to do is to plead for the life of the Negro. Give him any kind of punishment besides death. He is the right one as sure as there is a God, but do please, let me plead for his life. Please don't kill him. Give him death sentence—anything but death. "And, dear governor, snare the boys who stood by for my sake. There was so many who went into the mob not knowing what it would end in, so many who had never been in anything before, and men who have got families to think of. Please do let me, if I may, plead for these poor men. Let them come back home where the families will be completed, where any wrestler can be at rest and be as they were when all this took place. "Please do answer the plea of one who would be willing to fall on their knees for the poor men who were sentenced, some to be gone from home, so long. "And then, too, think of the good mothers and fathers whose hearts are almost bowed down with grief taking their boys away from home. Some may never live to come back, others may lose their loved ones. Let me plead, beg, or anything, to bring them back. If it will do the least bit of good I will come to your office if I have to walk, to plead for the boys. Let me hear that my pleading is given. Give me another chance and I know they will be better men and we all hope there will never be another thing happen in this town again. We earnestly hope such will never happen here again, so the poor boys wont want to feel that they would like to do anybody harm. "Think of yourself how great was the temptation to see any woman mistreated. They thought they did right in taking up for me. If I can only do anything to help them in coming back home, as I know I will never know any peace until I can do as much for them. Let me hear that you will do all you can for these poor boys. Please do let me beg." Mr. Sinks Reply "Raleigh, N. C." "Dear Mrs." "I am in receipt of your letter of December 3, addressed to Governor McLean concerning the above named prisoner and others." "The governor and I are somewhat at a loss to understand your letter. I wish that it were possible for me to see you and discuss the matter personally, as your attitude is exceedingly unusual. I should be glad to have you write to me fully just why you ask that the prisoner is released. Of course, I urge the governor and I appreciate the terrible distress and suffering experienced by you, and in order that we may be fully supplied with all the facts I wish that you would write me in detail exactly why you take this attitude. "Thanking you for your very frank and candid statement already made in this case, I remain. Spotlight Ball And Breakfast Dance The Greater Norfolk Lodge No. 132. I B. P. O. E. of W.

ELABORATE PLANS FOR OPENING OF WHEATON HOTEL New Managers Promise One Of The Best Hosteleries For Accommodation of Colored People. Preparations are under way for an elaborate opening of the Wheaton Hotel, 633 Brambleton avenue, formerly the Mount Vernon Hotel, made famous by the late Lem Bright, on January 1, 1926, under the management of J. M. Harrison as proprietor, L. R. Noble, manager. Carpenters, electricians, and painters are busy engaged in renovating the hosteller. Messrs. Harrison and Noble promise that extra welcome will be available to the general public at the hotel, which they hope to make one of the most up-to-date and comfortable places in the country for the accommodation of colored people. Attorney Harrison himself has had years of experience in the hotel business. Mr. Noble, who will be the manager, is competent to handle the business both from training and contact. He is one of the leading managers of city and graduate of Ridge Technical School of Massachusetts. For the past five years he has been associated with his brother, S. B.

The Elks of Norfolk, Eureka Lodge No. 5, Greater Norfolk Lodge No. 132, and the two Temples held joint memorial exercises at Monumental A. M. E. Church Sunday afternoon with an overflow turnout. The church was packed from pulpit to door with the Elks and Daughters, who departed brothers and sisters and with visitors who assembled to behold the impressive services. The oration of the day was delivered by Grand Treasurer, Jas. T. Carter, of Richmond. Mr. Carter's talk was not inspiring to all the members of the order but to all who heard him. He sketched the early history of Negro Elkdom in a most arresting manner, recounted Virginia's important role in the upbuilding of this order during its early travail, emphasized the wonderful influence for good the Daughter Elks have had in solidifying the organization, and pointing out its opportunities, and urged the Elks to seize its wonderful opportunity to play a great role in the success of the intellectual destiny of the race. Mr. Carter let it be known that he was proud of his having the honor to address Norfolk Elks upon the occasion of their lodge of sorrow, stating that he had foregone an opportunity to speak to the Elks of Atlantic City, N. J., on the same day in order to be in Norfolk. Recites Thanatopsis James M. Harrison recited Thanatopsis with eloquence and interpretation that was entirely fitting to the occasion. W. L.

The Musical Art Society, is an outgrowth of the Hampton Choral Union, and is a self-perpetuating students organization in charge of the Director of Music, R. Nathaniel Dett, who, in cooperation, with the students organized it about five years ago to stimulate greater interest in the success of various high class presentations, the emphasis, of course, being on those more closely associated with music. The Society has achieved wonders, and has been of inestimable value to the students and the surrounding community. A testimonial to this effect was a front page article in the Daily Press of Newport, News, of February 22, the present year, regarding the concert by the Dennis-Shawn dancers. The Daily Press said: "In the vast auditorium of the University, a plea from Hampton, Newport News, Phoebus, Fort Monroe, Langley Field and Fort Easts and many came down from Williamsburg. The Press called it a most unique dance performance and another good reason for the existence of the musical Art Society. Appeal For Cooperation Recently there have been developments in and around Hampton and Newport News, outgrowths of misinformation concerning the seating arrangement in Ogden Hall, which have threatened the usefulness of the Society. For that reason the organization is now making an intensive approach to the organization and support. The purchase of a season ticket for $2.50 is one of the most concrete ways in which the public can show its appreciation of the Musical Art Society and the value of its operations to Hampton students and the community. The purchase of a season ticket before January 4, the date of the Paul Whitemen presentation will include this recital with the others which are to follow. These include George Barre, world's greatest flutist and the Lilo Symphony Orchestra; Kinka Kinney, musician and Maurice Dumnesnil, French pianist. Mr. Dumnesnil is a new star in the pianist world and is being brought to this country by the new Chickering Piano Company. He has already over 85 engagements in the larger musical centers. Dr. George Whitfield Andrews world's medal organist; Spring Concert by the Choir. states that it is, obvious what 'is saved by buying a season ticket; but the thing most desired is "your cooperation and support." If you are in high esteem, you would ever be held in higher esteem than material things." It is expected that music patrons of Norfolk, and others interested in Hampton Institute, will purchase one of these tickets at once. Doubtless, the presentations brought to this section in the past by the Musical Art Society have proved one of the greatest successes of the arts, and there can exist not an iota of doubt as to the necessity of the public showing, its appreciation in this a most concrete way, the purchase of a ticket. Tickets may be purchased at cashier's window, Hampton Institute, by mail, or orders placed with the Journal and Guide will receive prompt attention.

C. Kizer of Louisiana State University was nominated from the floor. R. P. Daniels of Virginia, Union University called attention to the fact that southern white students already had a representative in the person of P. S. Green of the University of Georgia, who had been chosen vice president of the federation. Mr. Daniels declared that a colored student should be selected in order to link up colored students with the organization Miss Holloway was elected. After the selection of representatives from the other regions, Mr. Kizer told the gathering that he thought the purpose for which he had come had been defeated, and he withdrew Louisiana State University from the conference. The conference voted to accept his withdrawal. Miss Thompson told the conference that she was proud of the fact that she could return to the Howard University campus and tell the students there that an organization had been formed that stood for the principles of democracy in fact and not in theory only. Tense Moment A representative arose and, in a wave of emotion, stated that the conference had passed a motion, the seriousness of which had not been realized. He referred to the motion to accept the withdrawals of Mr. Kizer. He declared that the secretary should be instructed by a vote of the conference to write to Louisiana State University and express the regrets of the conference that its delegate had found it necessary to withdraw and extend the university an invitation to come back into the conference. to come back into the conference. About this time, representatives of southern schools began to realize fully what had happened and opened the fight to oust Miss Holloway from membership on the executive committee.

They urged the organization not to submit to race prejudice. Miss Rachel Dunaway of the University of Texas was among those who supported Miss Holloway and denounced race prejudice. taxes, but there is no law coming him to do so.

The first proposition offered was that there should be another election since there was discontent. It was voted down. The second proposition was that there should be two representatives from the South on the executive committee. It was voted down. The third proposition was that Miss Holloway should represent colored students and another representative should be chosen to represent white southern students. It was likewise voted down. The fourth proposition was that Washington be not considered as a southern city. This would have disqualified Miss Holloway, but it was voted down. P. S. Green of the University of Georgia questioned the validity of the election and demanded a recount. He failed in this effort. He then requested the conference to ask Miss Holloway whether or not she wanted a co-worker. The conference would not permit her to answer this question. had condemned race prejudice.

Bloom Labor College The scholarships, which cover tuition and living expenses for the school year, are held by Miss Florida Pinkney of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Thomas Dabney of Ellerson Va. Brookwood Labor College, as its name indicates, is a school in Worker's Education, which aims to give young people from the Labor Movement education along lines of economics and trade union technique that will enable them to go back to their trades and help in advancing the cause of the workers. The courses of study include social economics, labor problems, trade union organization and administration, labor history, journalism, public speaking and English. Miss Pinkney a Dressmaker Miss Floria Pinkney, who holds one of the colored scholarships, is a dressmaker, having worked at her trade for six years in various New York shops. She received her training at Manhattan Trade School there. Last year she was president of the Industrial League of the Young Women's Christian Association of New York. The League has four white and one colored branch, with an active membership of 150. It is Miss Pinkney's ambition, when she has finished her two year course at Brookwood, to become an organizer among skilled colored workers. "We need organization," she said when interviewed recently, "to provide some way for the graduates of our training schools to find jobs suitable to their skill instead of having to take any sort of work that offers as they do now. If the colored workers were organized, it might be easier for them to advance in trades where their ability is on a par with white workers, and only prejudice keeps them in the lower paid positions." Dabney, Union Graduate Thomas Dabney is a graduate of Union University at Richmond, Va., having had both his high school and college work there. After leaving school he taught English, history, and mathematics at the Training School at Dillwvn, Va. While in college he was president of Lambda chapter of Phi Boca Sigma, national colored fraternity, and of Kappa Gamma Chi, a literary society. In his junior year he won the Dougfs scholarships, offered for the best essay. Mr. Dabney has written numerous articles for the press. He was for a year editor of a column of current events in the Norfolk Va. Journal and Guide. More recently he has had a series of articles in the Afro-American upon the Garvey movement. He expects in connection with his work at Brookwood to contribute serially a history of the labor movement in the United States. The December issue of the Brookwood Review contains a two column article by Mr. Dabney describing the school and its operation. A. J.

From this meeting a telegram of fraternal greetings was sent the Filipino Independence Commission now in Washington, and a committee of three was elected to proceed with arrangements for further work among the Spanish speaking population of Chicago. faculty of Brookwood School states: "We here at Brookwood are firmly convinced that there must be unity of action as between the white and colored workers, that the colored workers must be organized and that, on their part, the existing trade unions must welcome colored members and definitely help in organizing colored workers in industry. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE College Fraternity Holds Exhibit Washington, D. C. Among the many interesting features of the program of the 12th annual convention of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, which will be held in Richmond, Va., during the Christmas Holidays, the following two stand out conspicuously as representing a forward step in the right direction. First is the discussion of business subjects. The problems of trade and commerce will be studied with the aim of discovering what is needed to give the race a better business background. The questions will be approached from the standpoint of facts, figures and forces and all the light available will be brought to bear upon the subjects discussed. Speakers representing the various lines of business have been invited to address the sessions. The second feature is the holding of a commercial exhibit during the four days of the convention. The exhibit will show the progress of the race in business and will be representative of the small as well as the large racial enterprises. A Langston Taylor, the executive secretary of the fraternity, is in charge of these special features of the convention program; he states that the outlook for a great meeting is very encouraging; preparation is being made to entertain more than two hundred delegates and visitors. Prof. Monroe Work, of Tuskegee, Ala., will deliver the annual address and special addresses will be delivered by attorneys Arthur W. Mitchell and J. Franklin Wilson, of Washington, D. C., and Dr. I. L. Scruggs of Buffalo, N. Y., and Prof. J. W. Woodhouse, of Baltimore, Md. SLEEPING GERMS BY PHILIP F. JACQBS, PH.D. Have you ever looked at a tiny drop of water under a microscope and noticed the wiggling, squirming life swarming even in water that we consider pure and drinkable? If you were to hold a piece of glass with some sticky substance on it, for a minute or two, in the air of your room or on the street and then put it under a microscope, you would be equally astonished to see the myriad of germs of various kinds that have swarmed upon the glass. You and other people are breathing in this myriad by the millions. Some of them are perfectly harmless and, in fact, helpful. Others are highly dangerous. Considering the millions of germs that you and I get into our mouths either through our breath from our hands, or from our food every day, it is a wonder that so many of us are alive. But I have in mind the story of one particular germ, that has a somewhat different life history from that of others. He is called in high sounding terms—Tubercle Bacillus. You may call him the germ of tuberculosis. He has a sheet armour of thick wax in which he is thoroughly enclosed and his tiny cylindrical body is protected from many of the assaults and enemies to which germs are subject. When he gets inside you he does not act like other germs. The germs of diphtheria, typhoid fever, or pneumonia, when they attach and the soil is ripe, get down to business very quickly. What the doctors call a period of incubation, that is the time between the exposure or entry into the body and the time when the disease actually develops, is relatively short. It may be two or three days, or a week, or two or three weeks, but usually not much longer than that. In the case of the tuberculosis germ this period between the entry of the germ into the body, the actual development of tuberculosis may be a year, two years, ten years, or even a life-time. The more presence of the germ in the body may never produce disease. This germ of tuberculosis usually enters the bodies of most people in early childhood. Careful studies show that beginning with babyhood and upto the period of young manhood or young womanhood there is an ever increasing intake of tuberculosis germs into the body. By the time we reach adult life most of us, especially those who live in cities, have the germs of tuberculosis in our bodies. In an average group of men and women you would probably find that from 75 to 90 out of every 100 had tuberculosis germs in their bodies. This is nothing to be alarmed about. In fact, the presence of the tuberculosis germ in the body may be a good thing. It may convey a certain amount of immunity or protection against later attacks of other germs of tuberculosis. In other words once a colony of tuberculosis germs gets inside of the body they tend to keep others from making similar nests. The nest that the tuberculosis germ makes is most peculiar. When the tuberculosis germ gets into the body he travels along certain channels that he readily finds until he comes to a corner or a rough spot. There he lodges. Immediately the tissues of the body treat him as if he were a foreign invader, like a grain of sand, or piece of shot, or a hair, and they proceed to build a wall around him. This wall is called a "tubercule" from the Latin word that means you because it looks like a little pea, or a little round, spherical body. This wall that the tissues build around the germs may house them in for weeks, months, or years. As long as the germs remain housed in this tubercule nest they are harmless to you or any one else. But some day this wall of tissue or resistance that the body has break down as a result of various circumstances, some of which you XMAS HOLIDAY FOR UNCLE SAM'S POSTAL WORKERS XMAS HOLIDAY RACIAL TENSION FOR UNCLE SAM'S ON INCREASE IN POSTAL WORKERS NORTHERN CITIES Postmaster General Orders All Postoffices In The Country Closed On December 25th Except For Special Mail. If Postmaster General New has his way about it, Christmas Day this year is going to be the biggest and best for all employees of the postal service and especially for the ever-faithful letter carriers. He has issued orders to postmasters throughout the country that their offices will be closed all day Christmas except for the dispatch of special delivery letters and parcels and special handling letters and parcels. In order that the vast army of carriers and clerks may enjoy Christmas Day to the fullest extent with their families and friends the co-operation of every man, woman and child in the United States will be necessary. Under the leadership of the Postmaster General, a campaign is now under way throughout the country to instil into the minds of everybody the necessity for shopping and mailing early in order that there will be as little congestion at the post offices as possible during Christmas week and in order that both the sender and receiver of gifts and remembrances may reap the happiness that is contemplated by such an exchange of presents. Once more the Post Office Department urges the American public to do its Christmas shopping and mailing early. If the shopping is done now the buyer gets just what he or she wants and if the gift is mailed before December 15 it is sure to reach its destination in plenty of time before Christmas Day. can control and some of which you cannot. For instance, a person who has had influenza, or a hard cold, or pneumonia, or typhoid fever, may find that his wall of resistance is broken down because of the weakened condition of his body. He may have tried to burn the candle at both ends. After a hard day's work in the office or shop he does another day's work at night, and eventually he "pays the fiddler". He breaks down and the wall that nature has built around the germs gives way. Another man may break down his wall by too much self-indulgence, too many jazz parties, too much rich food, or the wrong kind of food. These, together with lack of rest and improper exercise, and lack of recreation do what we call "lower resistance". The wall around the tubercule breaks down and then the sleeping germs, which have lain there for months and years, come (Continued on Page Thirteen) A "I'm Not Drunk, I'm Hungry."

Cleveland, Kansas City and Detroit are mentioned by name. The trouble is attributed to housing. It is imperative for the churches to take up housing through local commissions, the report urges "Fourteen lynchings have been recorded this year up to November 15," says the report, stressing that all efforts be devoted to making 1926 a "lynchness year." It is pointed out that all the victims of mob violence in 1924 and 1925 have been Negroes, "so the matter is now fully a race relations problem." Sherrill Denounces Article On Garvey William Shearill, acting president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, through the columns of the Negro World repudiates an article recently carried in the New York Times, which stated that the debts of the U. N. L. A. had been wiped out, and intimated that Garvey's followers laid the blame for the organization's financial difficulties at Garvey's door, and now repudiated their leader. Following its appearance in the New York Times, the article was sent out to several Negro newspapers by the Preston News Service. Mr. Sherrill states that the article was an attempt to misrepresent Mr. Garvey and to place him in a false light.

The final program of the Southern Negro Boys' and Girls' 4-H Club Conference in the Tuskegee Institute, chapel, Thursday ecking. December 10, marked the close of what was, undoubtedly, one of the most pleasant and successful meetings of constructive nature that has ever been held in this sec- ture country. non of this. This first annual session of the negro agricultural boys and girls which are devoted to the sounded development of the individual by way of the head, mind, heart and health, has brought to light possibilities beyond the fondest expectation of those who are responsible for the movement. Club teams were presented representing Alabama. Mississippi and Oklahoma officially. Also, there were several visitors from the Extension Service in other states who were present to observe with a view to taking, part in next year's activities. Nevertheless, from the general expressions of satisfaction on the part of the participants, it may be said that the meeting was a most gratifying success. In addition to the boys and girls who participated in many clubs from the states taking part sent delegates of other interested club workers. Accompanying them were 25 farm and home demonstration agents from Alabama, 7 from Mississippi and 4 from Oklahoma. Foreign Visitors Present Among the many prominent white, and colored visitors who attended the conference were Mr. T. S. Sims, State Club Agent, Auburn, Ala.; Mr. J. Lawry, District Agent for North Alabama; Mr. Stephen G. Krishnaya, Madras, India; at present a student at the Teachers' College; Columbia University, N. Y. Rev. Dr. and Mrs. R. H. A. Philip, missionaries from Rhodesia, S. Africa; Dr. H. Council Trenholm, Acting President of State Normal School, Montgomery, Ala.; Mr. G. C. Hudson, State Agent for Negro Work in North Carolina; Hon. S. W. Keighwin, Commissioner for Native development in the British possessions of Africa; Mr. J. P. Russellie, divisional manager; Singer Sawing Machine Co. and Mr. W. Dean, Dear agriculture, Normal, Ala. Many other outstanding workers in various fields of institutional and extension development were present.

The North Carolina Department Public Instruction is planning get out a big issue of privacy on segro school facts, accounting reports coming from the department. In recent months so many representatives of different races and cultures have gone to North Carolina to study how that State has made such a near approach to success in the maintenance of a dual system, that State officials have taken cognizance of this general request for information and will make it readily accessible through the proposed publication. The issue will treat just ten years in state life. The first period is 1913-14, the second five years and the third 10 years later. The twenty-two items in the count individually significant. The increase in salaries, the years teachers received $494,114.83. Five years later, teachers were paid $667,697.47 two years ago they received $733,989.29. the Negro school teachers were driving a salary of $26.75 it's ago, $37.17 seven years ago and $44.88 a month in 1923. The grant term was then 114.8 days, during the War to 105.6 three years later had come back 134.6. the school population 192 years was 252,276, it went, to 265,424 in years ago and two years ago aged 293,183. The enrollment 12 years ago was 189,919 and 248,904 now. The value of school property then was $11, 363,93 and now it is $6,580,770. in 1914 the State spent $74,405 for new-school buildings and in 1925 $772,992.25. In the average value of Negro houses was $396,60 and in the lowest-rural schools in these haves dropped from 1,972 1856; our log houses. from 1,25 100 percent or illiteracy 1919 to 24.9. maintenance and appropri- or normals has gone from $14, in 1914 to $148,000 in 1924 and colleges it has increased from 100 to $62,500. And best of all, the investment in instruction, work and training has mounted from $5,38 in 1914 to $14,124 in '14. ference is attributable to the whole-hearted manner in which Tuskegee Institute threw open its doors and made available its facility at the institution which was needed for the carrying out of the program as a whole. Every department and individual showed a willingness to cooperate with members of the Extension Service to give to the boys and girls who came here a remembrance that would be both profitable and pleasant. Interesting Contests The meeting began with a general session which gave various state teams and visitors an opportunity to become acquainted with one another and with the general outline of the program to be carried out during the three days' session. The program proper began with the girls' sewing contest which began at on-thirty on the afternoon of December 9, brought to the afternoon of December 9. The cooking contest for girls started Wednesday morning at eight-thirty and lasted until Wednesday evening. The very dert manner in which these girls proceeded about the bread making and dress making indicated clearly the intensive training which the demonstration agents in their respective counties and states had ```markdown ``` these boys and girls on the farms to do the simple tasks of their daily routine well. An unusual excellence was manifest throughout the entire program and the results are highly gratifying to all those who have laughed to make the first annual session of the pro Boy's GIRL 4-H Club contend a thing worthwhile. The health contest under the direction of Miss E. V. Rivers, State Public Health nurse who travels with the movable school in Alabama, and Dr. Foote of the John A. Andrew Memorial hospital at Tuskegee Institute, offered some striking examples of the kind of young men and women the rural districts can produce if the proper rules of health and sanitation are followed out in the everyday life of the most markedly what the Extension Service means to the boys and girls on the farms of the South particularly, as well as being an insemiable benefit to the adults. Children of Six Families Barred From Public School Of Richmond On Grounds of Racial Ancestry. Richmond, Va.—The Virginia racial integrity law, under the impetus of Dr. W. A. Plecker, of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, has begun an earnest try at racially classifying the whites and non-whites with a ruthless disregard of the personal embarrassment provoked thereby. On Friday last, a jury in the Husting court here within a short time after an exhaustive hearing declared that Ray Winn was white and that the charge that he had committed miscegenation by burrowing a white woman was founded. Winn was indicted by the grand jury upon the allegation that he bore strains of the Negro race in his veins. The evidence did not sustain the charge, the verdict of the jury means that the marriage of Winn and Miss May Wilson in October, 1924 was legal. Winn declared that he had only Indian and white blood in his veins. His declaration was based out by old residents of the country in which he was born and surrounding counties. Richmond, Va.—Children of six families have been barred from the Robert Fulton school on the ground that "they have a touch of colored blood." the American Civil Liberties Union reports. Dr. Flecker of the Bureau of Vital Statistics charged that the ancestor of the children was a colored woman, part Indian blood. The families of the children claim that their ancestor was full blooded Indian. New York, N. $y$-Rev. S. H. Gumbs, presiding elder of the Manhattan District of the New York Conference, has just announced plans for the opening of a Home for Aged Ministers and lay members. The movement has the support of Bishop Heard, Leading member join Dr. Gumbel. The feature of the plan is it will look after ministers as well as ministers. A training school for evangelists, local preachers and church officers will be established in connection with the Home. Philadelphia, Pa.—Edward W. Henry, of this city was appointed by Governor Pinchot last Tuesday as Magistrate to succeed the late James Scott. Mr. Henry was endorsed for the place by a large number of men and women of both races. A delegation visited Hartsville, the Capitol, and saw the Governor personally. Mr. Henry was a former student at Atlanta University, Georgia, and a graduate of law from Howard University, and practiced law in West Virginia. He has been for many years a leader in independent Republican politics and one of the outstanding colored men to oppose the regular Republican Organization. Last year he espoused the cause of the Republican president of the United States. He was one of the best presidents the Citizens Republican Club had had, and will probably be re-elected. On account of his stamina independence, Gov. Pinchot appointed him. TENANTS OF THE LOWLANDS HAVE MISERABLE LOT TENANTS OF THE LOWLANDS HAVE MISERABLE LOT Children of Louisiana Cotton Area Denied Opportunity to Attend School, During The Harvest Season. Writing in the Daily Worker, Jennie Pincus, white, describes the ot of the peasants of the Louisiana lowlands as being most miserable from the viewpoint of education and opportunity. This writer asserts that she writes from personal observation and although she has made some efforts to have the sad conditions affecting these poor colored and white children remedied , she expects to see nothing done about it. Miss Pincus' observations are as follows: "Most of the Negroes in Louisiana live on the low, marshy land in the southeastern part of the state. Here is where rice and cotton are raised. Here live none but the poorest and hopeless class of whites as well as blacks. They live in one room or two room wooden shacks. In most of these shacks such things as glass windows or even wire screens are a luxury, unattainable. During the summer the hot sun comes in freely—so do the mosquitoes. During the winter the rain becomes a seas on a bale guest. When school opened, I noticed three little colored girls doing the washing for a neighbor instead of going to school. Upon inquiry I learned that the nearest school was four and a half miles away. But three was the school bus, it stopped for some children down the road. 'That's just it,' I was informed, 'school buses don't stop for colored children.' "When asked if they wished to go to school, these little girls explained that as soon as the cotton picking season was over they would try to walk to school, but they exerted themselves in the muddy roads kept then from going to school, that's how it was last year. "I decided to pay a visit to the principal of the local school. When I stated my errand, he looked at me with mingled surprise and contempt. He was the principal of the white school—and had nothing at all to do with the Negro children. However, I might go and see Mr. Bertrand, the local member of the school board. Mr. Bertrand was the town's banker, so I could go right to the bank. Him found the bank and the gentleman—I pre-ceded to acquaint him with my mission. "You know that niggers' school does not open until the cotton picking season is over," he informed me. "Yes, I knew that. But how will the children get to school? It is four miles away. 'Is education compulsory in this state?' I asked. "Yes, but they cannot compete any child to walk more than two and a half miles to school. And neither can we expect the parish to provide separate conveyances for every child." When I informed him that the school bus passed the home of these children, and when I suggested that the same bus carry the black as well as white children, this "hengvolent" banker stiffened and Available at wholesale rates to the profession in the leading cities of the Union.

Church of this city delivered a strong sermon recently against holding funerals on the Sabbath Day. He said the Sunday funeral is nothing more than a trole for the majority of people, and advertisement for some society or lodge and caters to the vanity of the family of the dead. Respect for the dead is not the chief motive of these Sunday funerals. Often it is a great parade and a show off. The regular religious preacher, undertaker, grave digger, and others are worked and the race is disgraced. Dr. Carter called on all ministers, undertakers, leaders in fraternal and secret organizations and all others interceded to join in the crusade to abolish Sunday funerals.

SENATE FIGHT ON DUNNING SEEMS SURE RACE REPUBLICANS RECALL FORMER KLAN CONNECTION AND UNCERTAIN POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS. Washington, D. C.—The question of the confirmation of M. O. Dunning as collector of the customs at Savannah is expected to precipitate a hail d. fight in the Senate, on account of Dunning's previous Klan connections. Senators received a rumor robin from Negro Republican leader of Georgia last Thursday in which Dunning was dismissed and refused of his confirmation demand. According to Dunning's cities, he was once prominent as an organizer of the Plan in Georgia. Past political affiliations of the appointee are likely to be aired in the fight on him. It is charged that in the early part of the campaign in 1924 he was active as a Democrat; that he helped organize Georgia for McAdoo. In the pre-poll campaign, however, he appeared in West Virginia as a supporter of Coolidge and Dawes and in opposition to John W. Davis. Reagent Daming was given the appointment as collector of customs at Savannah. His opponents charge that this was in considera-TESTED QUALITY, and Tailoring Each Suit or Overcoat which is placed in our stock must pass test of quality, style and tailoring before we accept it.

The Bookers had been voted an easy victory over the Portsmouth team due to the bad showing Noreom had made against St. Joseph the previous week, but Norcom came around strong and staged one of’the closest games of the season, The Bookers were forced to earn every inch of ground, in fact they had to come from behind to take the game. Nor- com scored first, early in the first period after an exchange of punts, one of which was fumbled by John- son, stellar quarterback and was recdvered by a Norcom player, who raced for a touchdown. In’ this game, Washington sent in her see- ond string mon against Ports- mouth and these players were so badly battered that the regulars had to be sent in as relief men, but Norcom continued to batter the first line of dofense of the Nor- folk team and garnered many first downs. But as, the game jogged along, the Bookers found them- selves and offset the onslaught of the Norcom eleven came through to got, two touchdowns and an ex- tra point to take the. game. Dunbar, of Washington, D. C., proved another tough. game for Booker Washington. It was a game of wits and the wittier of wittiest would win. Booker Washington proved the wittiest and in the final stages of the gime when each man was silhouetted against a dark gray background that :threw a gloomy pall all over the landscape, ¢ locals struck a crushing blow fo tally. And on down the line, the Fighting Bookers took them in camp as fast as they came.

All of last year’s veterans struck their old strides and set a gruelling pace for all opponents. A new find for the high school, was “Bob” Toll ver, right end.’ A better end has never graced the ranks of the ‘squad during the entire athletic history of the school. Tolliver, a versatile end, kicker and receiver of forward passes was a treat and was, in a manner, responsible for every victory gained by the Book- ers. Not in a single game, did the Fighting Bookers gain a victory, that Tolliver did not put over a tally and cach one was via the for- ward pass. Tolliver scored more individaul points than any member, on the team, His receiving wa without a peer.

Dou las, of Baltimore, in which te downed the visitors, almost single handed. He was unable, himself| to:run with the ball, due to in.| juries, but the manner in which he handled the team won the game, Johnson is a triple threat man, a fine runner in the open field, a punter, dropkicker, placement kick- x and a good defensive back. On down the line comes “Pap” Pynes, the crashing fullback, who sained much yardage and bucked ap the line with-rare ‘ability.

PORTSMOUTH, VA. a pie fae ie All-American Eleven Picked eT ee wae ee of those outside of their immediate surroundings. This eleven includes players who played in, both, white and colored institutions, while the other selection will be an all-time all-American confined to the per formers in the Negro schools only. “Fritz” Pollard, by virtue of his ability as q footballer of sterling worth, nally, earns. for himself, first choice in’ this selection, With: ‘out doubt, he is the best that has been produced and many moons will ‘have come and gone, before the Brown fiash has a peer. “Jazz” Byrd is the most logical running mate for Pollard and is one of the most outstanding player in the past five years. With this pair run- ning amuck, feathers will fly high and wide on any gridiron. And as a fullback to complete a trio that can supply all the flash and dash desired, “Terrible” Ter- ry, the hard etashing demon of Howard is voted the berth. For the brains of this trio, thrown to- gether makes up the quartette was the first snag encountered. There ‘have been a number of good quar- ters who have been important fig- ures in the showings of their re- spective elevens. After much de- liberation, Johnson, of the Carlisle Indians walks off with the gravy. As a strong defensive and offensive back, at a time, when oth brains and brawn ruled the day, Johnson lends the parade. It doesn't mat- ter, because the pass had not come in when Johnson was rampaging. It's reasonable to beliove, that with. the various qualifications Johnson possessed, he would have been adept in the new art of the game.) Of course Johnson has been claimed to be an Indian, but his personal features, countenance and manner of bearing seems to disprove this greatly and we are claiming him) ag oUF own. Now, the first line defense, to a great extent, the shield and armor of the wonderful ball carriers, “Red” Dabney has been chosen the| pivot, a breach, in which a fully capable man is required to fill. Possessing these qualifications and others, Dabney is it. Other than. a center he was a valuable all around man, having on occasions sone to the backfield to°decide the game where obhers had failed. Lewis of Harvard was good, but, ve believe Dabney is better. Robe- son, of Rutgers. and Gayle, of Hampton are the ends. There's no, juestion to their ability as wing- nen. And on down the line come, Dowdell, of Howard and Slater of | awa. Find better tackles! Both f these men were towers on both he defensive and offensive and layed Inege parts in the victories f their squads. ‘Take Clelland, of Howard and T. T: Coleman,’ of| Hampton and you have the ‘best yair of guards in the universe. ‘oloman was a tackle and a good ne at that but, had to make way or a better man on this eleven and ince a yood tackle will make a uard of equal worth, he secms he best man for this first team, sa guard nate, the “Terrible” Terry is giv- na’ halfback position with Gray lected to carry out the fullback as- jgnment and Taylor of Shaw omes in for the quarterback posi- ion and here you have a point coring backfield that’s hard to|' eat.

NOT MOUTHING SCRIPTURE For R. H. Bowling Declares Not Scripture Quoting, But Knowledge of Life And Ability To Link Both. "Just has the Ephesians were pooled by the use of the more name of Jesus, so many of us still are pooled by pious phrases which have est their true significance." So declared Rev. Richard H. Bowling on the course of his special sermon last Sunday night. He said further, "Take the matter of preaching, for example. There is an instance in some quarters on 'moreible preaching', meaning thereby the introduction of more Scripture quotations into sermons. The man who closes his eyes to the overwhelming mass of illustration material in current life and literature and seeks to substantiate every claim by prodigious quotation of incidents and maxims set down in Scripture,—that is the man whose preaching amounts to something. The Spirit works through that sort of preaching. What Preaching is "But to the contrary, we have found by hard experience that no scripture quotation but knowledge of life and the power to link it up with the Divine is what makes true preaching. How much unreasonable and un-Christian fallacy has behind the quotation of pious phrases from Scripture,—slavery, strong drink, serfdom of servants. women, wait. "The true preacher is he who has no caught the spirit of Christ that like Moses, he has a new revela- ment never sensed before; or like zekiel, he can cry, 'What mean ye that ye use this proverb . . . ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel; or like Paul can proclaim, 'For he is not a Jew that is one outwardly but he is Jew who is one awardly'; or like his Master can use to preaching his sublimest height We have heard that it was said to them of old time . . . but I say into you! No preaching is not something 'Scripture: preaching is interpreting God." FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Berkley) The pastor, Rev. J. C. Diamond told a crowded congregation many new and interesting points in the churches Greatest Drawing Cards taking his text from Ezra 10. He spoke of the beautification of the building, the music, the invitation to strongers and the able speaker, but the greatest drawing card was the Religion of Jesus Christ. He told them how they should go willing to humble themselves and confess their many sins to God and man in this way draw many to the church who would not come because of the knowledge they had of the sins of the so-called Christians. He said that humility was one of the churches great drawing cards, having Jesus as its example. There were many visiting friends present Sunday morning. The entertainment given by the different missionaries of Berkley under the name "The Tree of life," was a grand success. The B. Y. P. U. is still growing; I are invited. T. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Rev.

This mission of the subject provoked in thought and personal examination by the multitude that list to the array of facts clothed beautiful and polished English Dr. Bowling has at his comrade Hon. C. C. Spaulding, preside of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co. the largest Nei- insurance Company in the nation present, and was called to do something. He did in a very pleasing and helpful mann- nex The night service was varied and exceedingly interesting. Dr.Bowlling spoke from Acts 19:13 subject: "Fooled by a Formula." Among the many truisms stated by the speaker, which should be remembered was that the desired result is more important than the formula. At this service Mrs. Pearl Brown, a sweet singer, rendered several selections to the delight of all. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. officers are certainly working energetically to put over a program serviceable to their respective groups. In this worthy effort they are receiving the hearty co-operation of all concerned. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH Shiloh Baptist Church is taking on new life under the leadership of its new pastor. On Sunday morning, December 13th, the Sunday school was out on time with most of the two hundred a n d twenty one enrolled, present. Mr. R. B. Jones, the superintendent, with his corps of energetic teachers was on hand. The Lincoln Highway is putting much life in the school. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Rev. V. V. K. Stokes, preached a most eloquent and inspiring sermon from Zech. 8:23: "We will go with you for we have heard that God is with you"; subject: "Uniting with God's People." The house was filled to seating capacity and there was much evidence of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Three candidates were baptized and four others were received by letter. At 3 the church was full again to celebrate the last Holy Communion for this year. The seven new members were given the hand of fellowship and received their first Communion as members of this church. Dr. Stokes gave Rev Caston and Rev. Sharp charge of the Communion services who served to the spiritual delight of all present. At night the pastor preached another of his wonderful sermons, subject: "The present not the Christian's rest." Visiting ministers during the day were; Revs. Brown, Coles, Caston and Sharp. BAPTISTS LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR ONE MILLION QUARTERS BAPTISTS LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR ONE MILLION QUARTERS Enter Upon Wide Program For Increasing Usefulness On Foreign Mission Field; Help Of All Solicited. The Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, Rev. J. E. East, corresponding secretary, has launched a campaign to secure one million quarters for a greater extension of its mission work in Africa. The campaign is to be conducted intensively, the appeal being broadcast to every section of the country, to every church, village and hamlet. To facilitate the collection of the quarters gleaners holding an even number of quarters are being sent to churches, to individuals and business concerns. Those receiving the gleaners are asked to fill in and return them to Dr. East, at 701 So. 19th street, of Philadelphia, or distribute them to others who would likely fill in and return them. In launching the campaign, Dr. East states: "The Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention is endeavoring; "To put up a hospital in Liberian, West Africa and equip it for the treatment of disease for the millions of natives whose precious lives are wasted for the want of medical care, and also for the treatment of our missionaries whose usefulness could be increased, their stay in Africa prolonged, and who would be spared much suffering if they only had a place to be treated when they are sick. "To build an industrial school where carpentry, blacksmithing, tailoring, domestic science and the greatest of all, agriculture will be taught; also the natives of Africa will be trained at their door for the Gospel ministry and religious service. M. Will you not distribute them, collect and return the same to us? If one of our agents is working in your field, cooperate with him and report according to his plans; otherwise send gleaners to us. We want to reach every Baptist with a gleaner. Send for more gleaners if you need them. If you can not help, then pray that God will make our One Million Quarters Drive a success. There are more than 100,000 persons employed in the pearl fisheries of the world. A. Coppage own Reader, will read Wise Man" Dyke, at the Bypterian Church December 27—6 P. M.

Duke has made an additional gift of $750,000.00 to Kittrell College will be hailed with delight. At the commencement exercises of this college last spring it was announced that Mr. Duke had authorized a gift of $200,000.00, and this latter sum, with other smaller donations which he has made run the total of his benefactions to Kittrell to a million dollars. Following close upon the announcement that white citizens of Greensboro had given $50,000.00 for the erection of a Negro hospital, to be manned by Negro physicians and nurses, and the anonymous gift of $20,000.00 to the Winston-Salem colored orphanage, the Duke gift affords Negroes of North Carolina every reason to feel prouder than ever of their state. North Carolina has indeed set a brilliant example for other states to follow in the proper adjustment of race relations. Mr. Duke's magnificent gift is prophetic. We venture the assertion that it will be followed by larger endowments, not only to Kittrell, but to other educational institutions for the race in the South. Some states in the South have discovered that money wisely invested in Negro education brings fine returns in better citizenship and higher economic values. Every time a well-known society in Virginia proposes a new law to inflict additional educational and civil disabilities upon the race, and a new plan to forestall the endowment of such institutions as we have, North Carolina and other Southern states create a new endowment, build a new hospital or something else to prove their faith in the Negro race. Virginia occupies a conspicuous position of isolated intolerance, the like of which has not been witnessed since the days leading up to the civil war. Misrepresentation A triple column headline on the front page of Sunday's Atlanta Constitution read: "Student Federation Wrecked as Negress is Placed on Board." The text of the article told how two Southern delegates—one from a Georgia college and the other from the Louisiana State University—objected to the election of Miss Mabel Holloway, of Howard University, Washington, as a member of the executive board of the national collegiate student federation which met last Saturday at Princeton University. The delegates from Georgia and Louisiana made a scene, and when it availed them nothing they dramatically withdrew, and being able to see nothing but their own prejudices they imagined that the conference was "wrecked." As a poster of fact it was not. Accord As a matter of fact it was not. According to the reliable New York Times and the equally reliable and fair New York World, there were 245 colleges and universities represented at the meeting, with a total attendance of over 300. The withdrawal of the two Southern delegates affected neither the appointment of Miss Holloway nor the business of the federation, which was completed as programmed. But many of the Southern papers—and we regretted to find our own Norfolk Virginia-Pilot among the number—featured the story misrepresenting the facts on their front pages, printing the offensive and designedly insulting word "negress" in the headlines ostensibly for the kick which it would give those whose race prejudices must be occasionally stimulated by such rot. There were two decidedly humane features about the proceedings of the meeting which served as a rebuke to the rebellious Southerners. A young white woman representing a Texas college stood by the colored girl, stating that she had worked with Miss Holloway in arranging for the conference and could testify to her ability. The Texas girl asserted that she represented the "best element of the South," which is undoubtedly true. The other admirable thing was the anticipation of the poisonous propaganda that would be sent out by a statement issued by the conference which set forth the true facts about the termination of the meeting. It is a pity that reputable newspapers will publish reports that are calculated to Editorial Page of injure whole races and groups of people before getting all the facts about the thing published. The federation was not wrecked. On the other hand two more Southern jackasses merely braved themselves into questionable notoriety. They Missed The Point Almost without exception the Afro-American press either misunderstood or passed by without direct comment the statement in Mr. Coolidge's message to congress which covertly condoned segregation, jim crowism, disfranchisement and the like. Even the shrewd Baltimore Afro-American missed the point; the astute and vigilant Philadelphia Tribune failed to display any signs of having discerned it, and the militant Pittsburgh Courier was taken in. So far as we have been able to discover from a careful examination of the editorial pages of the race press from one end of the country to the other, only the JOURNAL AND GUIDE and the Chicago Defender took exception to the president's statement which follows: "It is fundamental of our institutions that they seek to guarantee to all our inhabitants the right to live their own lives under the protection of the public law. This does not include any license (to the Negro) to injure others materially, physically or morally, to incite revolution or violate the established customs which have long had the sanction of enlightened society." Those reservations, as laid down by President Coolidge, are the strongest argument that has ever been advanced by any one in a high place in American politics in behalf of all the political and social injustices practiced upon colored American citizens. The utter emptiness of the President's words on the Negro was commented upon by the Virginian-Pilot and the Columbia State, two strong members of the Southern white press group, the former observing that "we find him outlining his views on the standing of the Negro race without any indication that he intends his remarks to be translated into legislative action." We hope so, for if they were so translated we would be ruined. The South Carolina paper remarks that "he hands to radical Negro demands for the bread of recognition and practical aid a stone in form of a paragraph of pious platitudes promising definitely nothing." We find the Negro national committeeman from Georgia saying in his paper, the Atlantic Independent that "the President's message is a very sound and sane, statesmanlike document, calculated to prolong the era of prosperity the country is now enjoying" On that part of the message which jeopardizes his own citizenship he is as complacent as Mr. Coolidge is upon everything in general. Changes in Celebrating the Christmas We shall soon be entering upon the observance of the Christmas holidays. On Christmas day we celebrate the risen Jesus and proclaim the oneness of the race and common fatherhood and brotherhood, with "peace on earth, good will to men." But there is much of "hip service" in our proclamation. We are devout in words but not in acts. The Christian world is still at war as states, or preparing for war, while preaching a crusade against armaments, and as individuals we are still lined up sharply one against the other on issues of race and color and creed and nationality. This is not only true of the United States but of European states as well. It is gratifying, however, to be able to acknowledge that the world is a better place in which to live than it was a century ago, or twenty centuries ago, when Jesus made the atonement and his apostles "went into all the world and preached His gospel." Vast changes have come over mankind since Rome ruled the world and Jerusalem was the storm center of physical decadence and misgovernment under Herod the King and of spiritual degeneration and debasement under the priesthood. Everywhere the gospel is preached and those who want to live the better and higher life are free to do so. We celebrate the New Year in a different spirit than we observe Christmas. We look forward to the future, taking stock of the past, and we are enhearted or discouraged if we find that the old year has dealt with its generously or niggardly and roughly, and we go into the untried future sobered in either case by the solemnity of the dead year and the rebirth of new life and hope. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE extends a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to its large and increasing circle of readers, advertisers and well-wishers. May the coming year enlarge our circle and strengthen our mutual friendship and interests in all that is highest and best in living and striving. Norfolk Journal and Guide THE PRESS ON THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE THE PRESS ON THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE From Washington Daily American The reference to the Negro in the message is a masterpiece of vacuity and unconvincing rhetoric. He gives a Congress the surprising information that colored people form one-tenth of the population, that they have made remarkable progress, that they are loyal, and that they need the "sympathy, kindness and helpfulness" of the white race. And aside from a weak development of this theme he says nothing. He urges no definite plan of remedying admittedly bad conditions. He refers specifically to no federal anti-lymph law to protect human beings in a civilized country. May we suggest to the President that he has missed entirely the point. We are not asking so much for sympathy as we are demanding our rights under the Constitution. We are not petitioners for kindness so much as we are full-fledged American citizens seeking a fair and full opportunity. And the only helpfulness which we can look upon as a blessing is that helpfulness which will come from the removal of baneful obstacles illegally and unconstitutionally thrown in our path of progress. From Clereland Herald From December 11. The President has spoken. He has given the nation a straight-from-the-shoulder talk on the Negro question. It remains, now, only for him to act. There are things that he can do immediately. He can start with abolishing segregation in the departments at Washington. He can move against discrimination in the matter of political and civil service appointments. He can rid administrative forces of the country of unfair executives. There are countless things that he can do to back up his words. We await his action. From the East Tennessee News Evidence of the fact that the president is acquainted with conditions as they exist in our country is shown from his statement that the Negro race needs reassurance that the requirements of the government and society to deal out to them even handed justice will be met. The exhibition of selfishness and bigotry on the part of certain of the race's white neighbors, the too ready inclination to exhibit intolerance and the mob spirit which so readily arises where a crime is charged to a Negro, has been viewed with alarm by the thoughtful Negro for a long time, and there have been times that the members of the race have become thoroughly discouraged when the belief prevailed in his mind that there was positively no desire on the part of those who contend that they are of Christian faith to deal fairly. A reassurance is necessary indeed and the president takes a forward stride in reassuring the members of the race in question of such an inclination, when he contends for just such justice as is outlined in the literary gem which he offered to the country in the form of his speech before congress. From The Washington Tribune Eagerly, many of the faithful—some of whom had given out veiled hints and expressed vague hopes—read through the long document, in which is discussed, usually at length, every question, domestic as well as foreign, that concerns, even remotely, the Negro question, the message says practically nothing; at all events, nothing that will disconcert those who continue to strive to "keep the Negro in his place," and to make that place as dependent, as helpless, as humble, even as degraded as it is possible to make it. It would have been better had he left off altogether the few words of homily concerning us which he attached as a tail end to his lengthy dissertation. From the Chicago Defender It were bitter for the Negro of this country had the president withheld his utterances on the Negro in his message to the 60th congress. To us, it is a bitter pill when we read and attempt to harmonize the following expression taken from the president's message and apply it to the existing conditions and the injustice of discriminatory customs under which we live in this country of ours. The expression is as folows: "It is fundamental of our institutions that they seek to guarantee to all our inhabitants the right to live their own lives under the protection of the public law. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY LICENSE (to the Negro) TO INJURE OTHERS MATERIALIY, PHYSICALLY OR MORALLY, TO INCITE REVOLUTION OR VIOLATE THE ESTABLISHED CUSTOMS WHICH HAVE LONG HAD THE ACTION OF ENLIGHTENED SOCIETY." From The Afro-American President Coolidge's blow aimed at mohs is announcement to Congress that the country is not discouraged because of the failure of law makers last year to enact a federal anti-lynching bill. The President puts the issue squarply up to congress again. He is not behind the Dyer bill but he is for some measure which will stamp out mob violence. If the Dyer bill is not the measure the country needs, then there are into an acceptable piece of legislation. From the St. Louis Arms We think, at times like these, it is no time to use weasel words in dealing with our case. We are under a strain. When the president says we have made progress as a race beyond belief, we look up in his face and cry "relief." Although we have made wonderful progress, yet our burdens --- have been heavy and we are still under a strain. What we now want is immediate relief. Mr. President, won't you act in our behalf? From the Philadelphia Tribune The president's actions or rather lack of actions speak so loud until we can not hear what he says. If he really and truly believes that the colored people should be free and equal he should start at the fountain head and abolish segregation in Washington. He could use his high office to have Southern representation reduced in Congress as provided for in the constitution of the United States. He knows about the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. He could support its passage. Instead of these things he attempts to lull twelve million citizens to sleep with a few pet words. The American Negro is beyond the point where words even though pleasant words, will take the place of strong courageous action. From the Pittsburgh Courier We have no doubt as to the desire of the President to do something. Rather, we fear he lacks encouragement from his party leaders, he ought to exert his official prerogatives all the stronger. We have read messages before. We recall the words of Woodrow Wilson. We recall the words of Harding—empty words they were. We have read other and previous utterances of President Coolidge. But we have yet to read of any effort on the part of the executive to have his recommendations put into any form of legislation. All of them utter fine phrases in our behalf, and there the matter generally rests. It is folly to suppose that words without some action will always suffice. From the Cleveland Gazette Come Mr. President, practice what you preach, give Afro-American, not beautiful words only but real "sympathy, kindness, helpfulness, and reassurance" of the kind you mention; the protection and support you can easily and ought to afford them. We have had only words, occasionally beautiful sentences like the foregoing, from you and many months have passed since you were inducted into the Chief Executive's office of this great country. A little favorable action is what we need from you and not words, words, words! From the Atlanta Independent From the Atlanta Independent The country has never had a sane or safer executive than this young Vermonter, Calvin Coolide, who springs from the Plymouth stock. His message may not appeal to a goodly number of the people when first read, but when it is read carefully and critically, with the view of finding out what is best for the country, it will be found that the message is the best thing that could have been said for prevailing conditions and to inspire in the American people the right ideals of proper government. From The Washington Eagle From The Washington Eagle His attitude is one of complete misunderstanding of what the colored man wants him to say and feel and do. He speaks of sympathy, but indicates no sympathetic feeling. He is more of an iceberg than Charles Evans Hughes, and thoroughly beyond the imagination now as a candidate for re-election to high office. We cannot but believe that by mistake Ted Clark, secretary, wrote the black part of the message when it was discovered that it had been left out, and stuck it on the tail-end of the reading so that the Chinese might be duly impressed with the prominence attached to it. The whole lengthy long-drawn-out indicting was a reproduction of what has already been writ in the schoolbooks everywhere, causing us to wonder if everybody knows who should know what it's all about. From The Louisville Leader On the whole perhaps the president's message expresses the convictions of most of the people, and even his utterances concerning the Negro doubtless find a more responsive cord now than they would have received a few years back. * * * * Closing with reference to the Golden Rule, Mr. Coolidge succeeds in making one of the most direct, manly and, we believe, sincere pleas for our group that any chief executive has ever made. Nothing short of the treatment for the Negro that he urges will ever be worthy of the white people of America. From The Birmingham Reporter The president, in his appeal for sympathy and justice to the Saturday. December 19, 1925 President Coolidge On The Negro For many years after the Civil War and reconstruction, it was the habit of the president of the United States to treat the Negro question in his annual message to congress. In calling attention to the state of the nation, he never failed to urge the enforcement of law intended to secure to the recently emancipated race guaranteed rights. In those days the issue was a dynamic one. The conscience of the nation was keen on the subject. As time elapsed, public sentiment weakened. The president's reference to the Negro weakened with public sentiment. Finally the reference was omitted altogether. Since the restoration of the Republican party we have noticed a revival of the old custom. But the recent references have been weak and colorless. They express no purpose or determination but are usually tacked on at the end as a left handed indication of a kindly feeling and good will. President Coolidge's statement falls under this category. It has the monic tone rather than the positive ring of governmental autonomy. The president does not declare that he is going to enforce the laws now on the statute books guaranteeing the black man his rights nor urge the enactment of new ones if the existing enactment is insufficient. He merely avers in an abstract way that the Negro ought to be left unmolested in the quiet enjoyment of equal protection of the law. We should weigh carefully the president and determine if we can, the meaning they convey and the motive behind them. Mr. Coolidge is an average man. As another distinguished American said of himself, he may be regarded as the most average man in America. He embodies the feeling and focuses the sense of the ordinary American. He is the mouthpiece of the common mind. Therefore what he has to say expresses the normal attitude of the average white American on the Negro question. This attitude is one of kindly negativity. There is no affirmative purpose or intention. The brother in black, or rather the brother in color, will be treated with benevolent indifference. It is needless to criticise the seeming lukewarmness of the presidential reference. The futility of abuse has long been demonstrated. Let us rather thank President Coolidge for giving us a true photograph of the actual situation with which we now stand face to face. The president's treatment of the race question is in the minor key and the undertone. He reduces the Negro to the lowest denomination in the scale of American citizenship. As a helpless race, he not ought to be mistreated by his more powerful white fellow citizens. Moralulsion is always an ineffectual weapon and its employment indicates feeble administrative intention. There is nothing of that robustness of declaration which we used to hear about the enforcement of the constitution and the law. If the president reflects, as he seems to me to do, the average attitude of white America, then the Negro had better begin to think soberly about his lessoning place in the political and civil policy of the nation. The ballot was given the Negro as a means of self defense. Every class of Americans, armed with the ballot is supposed to protect itself. No body is supposed to have the time and altruistic purpose to protect one else. In the history of the human race, Negro, made a diplomatic and very effective statement. But we pray for the time to come when the races of America, who are designated as citizens of America, will be recognized under the law of the government, and the president can speak as president of all the people, and can plead for the law as their protection and consideration, regardless of race, creed or section. The Negro as such seeks no other man's opportunity or chance. He wants his own and that protected under the laws of our country. The president of the United States is handicapped and embarrassed to speak for fifteen millions of American people whom he calls loyal, safe and trustworthy. An ugly plight in our American life. If the Negro is loyal and a citizen, he should enjoy the rights and privileges of a citizen under the law and without the embarrassment of any man or section, regardless of station in life. This is especially important at a time when the civil rights of the race are being tested by the highest court of the land. To emphasize racial public policy at this time frustrates justice and equity. With a few weeks the segregation contests will be brought before the Supreme court. Let us hope that the well intended words of the president will not be quoted to our hurt before that final tribunal. ```markdown ``` no class has ever been good enough to protect another class equally with itself. Is the United States getting ready to abandon the principle of the reconstruction days of equality behind the law as well as before it? Unless there is equality in the formulation of the law, it is hopeless to expect equality in its enforcement. It would be kindly to say that horses ought to be protected in all of the essential requirements of horsehood. They should not be abused, slaughtered, or harshly handled. But horses are not a part of the body politic. We should understandly thank Mr. Coolidge for bringing this question to public notice. Whatever the president says attracts public attention. He might have remained silent with his usual taciturnity. Then it might have been supposed that the question had passed entirely out of the administrative consciousness. But the mere mention in such high connection keeps the issue alive. Mr. Coolidge is true to his own nature. His interest in the Negro is genuine and is born of granite conscience of the New Hampshire hills. But this interest is benevolent and philanthropical rather than civil and political. He evidently does not look upon the Negro as a dynamic political factor with power enough to enforce its own rights. He himself was elected by such an overwhelming majority that he owes little or nothing to the Negro as a political obligation. He views the question rather from the standpoint of kindly benefaction rather than political exigency. If he is reminiscent and elected by a slender margin which falls below the contributed Negro vote, he will doubtless under his third administration view the question in the light of practical politics which he has studiously ignored in his first and second terms. The professional Negro politician can certainly extract no comfort from the president's words. There is not the slightest intimation of giving the race a chance through appointee office to function in the government, nor of the intention to force thru congress any measures looking in the same direction. According to this philosophy it would look as if the Negro politician's occupation is gone, for at least the next three years. But there is one feature of his reference for which we are truly sorry that the president did not keep silent. His reference to the customary relations sanctioned by long usage, however kindly intended, can only suggest mischief to the cunning minds of those who are now determined to fix the Negro race in an inferior place. It will tend to justify and extend restrictive regulations calculated to keep the Negro in his appointed place. It is clearly not the prerogative of the president to advise or encourage discrimination among citizens of the United States. His duty is limited to these general relations which concern them all alike. To suggest or sanction schism among citizens on account of race, race or class, whatever may be the function or custom and tradition, is clearly aside from the function of the executive as intended by the constitution. So far as the federal government is concerned, the Negro stands on absolutely the same footing as all other citizens. Intimation or justified distinction on part of the federal government suggests license to the states and local communities to pass all manner of racial proscriptive regulations. When the new regulations governing interstate commerce was under consideration in the Sen- ate, Hon. Archibald Grimke, myself called upon Senator Finkaker to put in a provision safeguarding the rights of colored interstate passengers. The viliant Senator advised us that the best that we could hope for from the Senate was a provision for equal, put separate accommodations. We advised him that we would much prefer that no reference of any sort should be made to gase or color, unless it was a clean, clear cut fordistance of discrimination. That if we merely wished to secure equal, separate accommodation we could easily do so through the legislature of the several states. But that we desired to keep the federal statutes forever free from regulations setting up discriminations among American citizens, on account of race or color. The founders of the government did not permit one word to enter that document the smacked of race. At a time when one fifth of the total population was composed of African slaves, there was not a single word concerning race, color or slaves. It is a dangerous procedure to have these distinctions invade the federal statutes. When the present school system in the District of Columbia was being set up by Congress, there was a proposal to designate that three members of the Board of Education should be of Colored race. I strongly protested the insertion of this word before the committee on the ground, if there must needs be any discrimination in federal procedure, it were better to let it rest on agreement and understanding than to have the federal statutes fraught with race legislation which is so repugnant to the spirit and genius of American institutions. President Coolidge made a kindly mistake in intimating to the country that customary and traditional conditions should not be upset although they violate the rights of citizens and thus the fulfillment of the law. This is especially unfortunate at a time when the civil rights of the race are being tested by the highest court of the land. To emphasize racial public policy at this time frustrate justice and equity. Within a few weeks the segregation contracts will be brought before the Supreme Court. Let us hope that the well intended words of the president will not be quoted to our hurt before that final tribunal. The Poet's Corner The Rejoicing Constellations Dark was the night over Judea's silent plain; Still was the voice of Asphallith, whispering waves; When from out the eastern sky there came A star. Ah, then we mortals no more were shaves. Its gleaming light stole westward through the gloom; Its message chilled the hearts of wretches in their lair; A cultured nation sensed its awful doom; For bleating sheep shall know their shepherd's care. The constellations gathered from afar; The moon, as a giant sapphire too, was there; Each nearly or cast forth her plumed fire; While angels, voices woke their sleeping air. Where was the mighty sun that glorius night? Methinks he stayed to tend their gables above. Where were the seraphs with their shining light? Methinks they fitted round the Son of Love. Now, angels sing. Methinks he hear the constellations sing; I hear the stellar chorus far above, nigh the Throne of the King of love. They have the universe as a teneting car; They're singing, singing, telling of the Christ born here. —LEOLANA DANGERI Salisbury, N. C.
