FIRE DESTROYS HANDSOME CHURCH EDIFICE 11-YEAR-OLD BOY IS KILLED BY MERCHANT Neighborhood of Chapel And Golf Streets Stunned With Excitement When Grocer Shoots Child Over A Nickel CLAIMS THAT TRAGEDY WAS RESULT OF PLAY Residents in the neighborhood of Chapel and Goff streets we're thrown into a mixed state of amazement, excitement and no little indignation Monday afternoon, when Israel Banks, a grocer at 1300 Chapel street, shot and instantly killed a 11 year old colored Leroy Strother, who lived with his grandmother, Mrs. Annie Johnson, at 1304 Chapel street, next door to the grocer's store. Banks said he thought the gun was unloaded. He fired one bullet from a 44 calibre pistol into the lady's forehead. Shortly after the shooting he surrendered at the Second Police Pincet. Two women are almost prostrated over the affair. They are Mrs. Annie Johnson, the boy's grandmother, and Mrs. Irene Banks, the grocer's wife. Mrs. Johnson is not only grieved at the loss of her little grandson, whom she says was a mannerly and industrious child, but believes that he was wilfully murdered, and told a Guide reporter so. Neighbors stated that Mrs. Banks is in a condition not much better than Mrs. Johnson's. According to a story alleged to have been obtained by the police the boy had been putting away some wood for Banks and Banks gave him a nickel as payment. Theiad, it is claimed witnesses told Detective Nowitzky, argued that the job was worth more. Reaching under the counter Banks pulled out the gun and told the boy to leave. The gun exploded and the boy fell with a bullet wound in the center of the head. Banks carried the boy home then surrendered himself. The child was later taken to St. Vincent's Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Information obtained by a Journal and Guide reporter differs from the above in some details. The Guide reporter was told that witch (continued on Page Eight) LYNCHINGS FOR 1925 EVEN UP WITH YEAR1924 Sixteen Victims of Peculiar American Pastime Last Year Equal the Number of 1924 Victims; Miss. Leads. Sixteen persons, all colored, were lynched in the United States in 1925, according to records compiled by the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee Institute. This number, ranking with the number 16 for 1924 as the smallest number of persons lynched in any year since records of lynching have been kept, is 17 less than the number 33 for 1923 and 41 less than the number 57 for 1922. Two of the victims were insane. Three others had been formally released by the courts. 10 of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 2 from jails and 8 from officers of the law outside of jails. Two of those lynched were burned at the stake and one was put to death and body burned. Number of Preventions There were 39 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. 7 of these were in Northern states and 32 in Southern states. In 26 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 13 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would be lynchers. In 3 instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were indicted. Of the 41 persons thus before the courts, 21 were sentenced; 5 suspended sentences, dependent on good behavior of from 4 to 12 months on the road; 1 for 30 days in jail; and 15 of from 6 months on the road to 8 years in the penitentiary.

COCHRAN FOR FAMILY COURT PLEASE PUBLIC Appointment Of Widely Known Lawyer Brings Satisfaction To People Interested In Public Welfare. Much claation was evidenced by citizens here Tuesday afternoon when it was learned that City Council had eluded Hebert O. Cochran, widely-known attorney, to fill the unexpired term of three years of Judge A.W. Dey, of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, instead of taking action to consolidate this court with the Police Court. Under the pressure of private affairs, Judge Dey recently regained from the bench of the Juvenile Court, from which he had been on leave for several months, Dr. Cochran was substituting for him. It had been intermittently reported that Council booked favorably upon the idea of consolidating the Juvenile and Police Courts is a matter of public economy. Some rumors even went so far as to indicate that the former might be abolished. These reports have seen the source of much anxiety among the colored citizens, much as they regard the Juvenile and Domestic Court as one of the city's best public welfare agencies, and one whose influence vitally touches the lives of people of all races. Mr. Cockran's election to preside over this court brings to these people eminent satisfaction. The new Justice on Race (Fight) A NEW BILL FOR BATHING BEACH IN THE CAPITAL Representative Zihlman.

OPINION DOES NOT TOUCH OCCUPANCY Landing, Mich.—The Michigan Supreme Court has handed down an important and far-reaching opinion that will be viewed with interest by Negroes throughout the country, it being to the effect that restrictions made against the sale of property to Negroes on account of color were invalid. This decision, is particularly important in view of the widespread activities to exclude Negroes from certain residual districts by insuring clauses in contracts forbidding the sale of the property to anyone not of the Caucasian race. By this decree in the part of the Supreme Court, all such contracts are void in the State of Michigan. Does Not Touch Occupancy While this opinion is favorable to the colored citizens of Michigan and the country, it is pointed out that the decision does not touch upon the occupancy of premises on which restrictions have been placed which has been the bone of contention in the many cases throughout the country. The suit in question was brought by Porter and Wynon, Muskegan real estate dealers, against Wilbratt and Auxiline Barrett, white and Wilson Robinson, a Negro who purchased the property involved. Porter and Wynon had sold the lot to a Louis Parent, white, who in turn sold it to the Barrett. The contracts in both cases specified that the property should not be sold to Negroes upon penalty of the lots and all improvements referring to the real estate concern. Upon the sale of the property to Robinson, Porter and Wynon immediately brought suit in the Circuit Court on the appeal of the plaintiffs. Justice Fellows' Comment Justice Fellows, in writing his opinion, says: "We must bear in mind that we are not dealing with a restraint on the use of premises. MILL Sons And Their Form BENJAMIN F.

Colored Citizens to Get Fair Proportion of Work to be Provided in New Industrial City With Factory Investment of $25,000,000.00. New England Interests Backing Plan. The Nansemond land project, about fifteen (15) miles from Norfolk between Portsmouth and Suffolk in Nansemond county, has been purchased by the Jonathan Starr interests in New York, and will be developed into a gigantic manufacturing center, and colored citizens will be given an opportunity to purchase homes and share in employment opportunities in the new city, a representative of the Starr interests told the Journal and Guide yesterday. Located Near Suffolk Nursery wood is 7 miles square, is situated on the main boulevard leading to Port mouth to Suffolk and has excellent railroad facilities. The land is high and dry, and admirably adapted to the manufacture of textile products, to which it will be devoted. Cotton Mill Center The property was selected for will and industrial development, and, it was stated, means the movement into this new a factory investment in excess of $25,000,000. The wills will be equipped with cotton machinery from New England textile centers, and will require an immense quantity of labor at both sites. Staple products will be manufactured at the plant. These will consist of gauze and absorbent cotton. From the by-products will be made sash cord and mops. These goods are not affected by style and fashion, hence steady operation of the mills and stability of employment for their workers are assured. Will Have Colored Colony In the plan for position the new development a model city Mr. Stary has made provisions for a colored colony. The city will be built upon the most modern plans, carrying every safety arrangement for healthy living. In these improvements the colored colony shall proportionately with other areas. Three will be created also in the colored colony churches and amusement facilities oriented to meet the needs of the population. A civic center is included in these places. This will include a hospital, Community Center, House, school, library and park, laid out area an area of 600 acres especially reserved for amusement and recreation facilities. All of these facilities will be erected and conducted along the most modern and approved line. The library will be in charge of a computer library, fully prepared in the duties which are to be assumed. The schooling facilities will be of the highest order as to teachers, building and equipment. The school program includes pre-ma, high school and tertiary classes, from which will come future operators in the mill of the company. Self-Governed Community Through the activities of their civic organizations, control and operation of the colored ward will be in charge of the colored people themselves, who will enjoy every opportunity for self-government and to become the most useful citizens of the community of which they will form a part and of the state. Dr. G. Javaris Bowens, of this city, who was Director of the Department of Welfare and Hygiene of the American Chain Company, which operated here a few years ago, will have supervision of the colored activities of the model city surrounding the Starr plant. No home sites will be sold discriminately, giving rise to speculation, but will be reserved exclusively for permanent settlers. Within the next year and a half 2,000 homes will be erected in Nansense in the colored colony and others will be built as fast as necessary. To make the community life complete it is planned to locate a physician, druggist, dentist, trained nurse, grocers, barbers, butchers, department stores, etc., in the colored colony. All stores and business will be under the control of PRICE 7 CENTS LLIONS Ansemond Community For the Workers Set Fair Proportion of in New Industrial City ment of $25,000,000.00.

It is planned to bring footwear to complete mills, about $90,000 spindle, to Nexenmond, but these will be erected a wall at a time until the plant is complete. Some of the industrial plants will be operated wholly by colored labor. In the allocation of employment, the most practical idea will be followed, the representative said. Wages will be good in the new industrial city and the cost of living, including taxes, will be as low as efficient city management can make it, which can be guaranteed to be lower than in neighboring territory. Work To Begin At Once Work on the development will begin at once and it is expected that the first unit of the industrial center will be in operation by July 1. The ground will be broken for average and other necessary construction early in January. There will be openings for millwrights, electricians, machinists, steam-fitters, plumbers, skilled mechanics and other expert workmen. Cooperation Invited Communication with Mr. Starr and his associates in the plan by citizens of this community will facilitate the completion of the development and insure for this section a very much we ded accretion of capital and employment opportunities. Aside from the several employment, residential and civic benefits planned for the citizens of the industrial city, the company proposes to provide life and casualty insurance for its employees at a much lower rate than can be obtained through the usual channels.

Elastic silk covered hair nets are being worn by women athletes of Europe. ver ex- FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEYA. JOHNSON, JR. Football and the Press The press has been a potent factor in placing school athletic activities before the public and this is plainly evidenced by the large gates intercollegiate sports enjoy. Without the press, college athletics would. Like many other things, soon detect a dispersion in public interest and support. Of course, college athletics are purely academic, but they could not be carried on without the support of the public whose finance aids tremendously in keeping athletics going and serving the purposes for which they are intended and created. Were it not true that these colleges looked to the public at large to aid them in their endeavors, their games would be restricted to the school campuses and not staged in towns that yielded most lucure. In that these things are true, the press is the only means by which these activities are placed before the multitudes. We might cite the case of Harvard University and Centre College. These are institutions, one, included among the oldest and foremost in the country and the other, a more nothing, competitively speaking were coached in athletic combat. For what purpose did Centre seek a quiz with one of the schools that is for her superior in corresponding athletic competitions, and attributions when such a trip from Kentucky to Muskegan is cost a sum of money that small schools cannot afford to pay—just for the sale in the game when this journey cost a small fortune! Of course, not Centre realized, if the could make any kind of showing against the rich university, that name of the college would be on the lips of every football follower in the country. Not only did Centre make a valuable showing a game at the prince of institutions of training, but she demanded through a feat never devised at and the school from the Keen school a mountain but its name spared all over the landscape. Then what should—the PRESS. This might not have seemed the external motive of Centre, but it is consumable to persuade that it was the basic cause of the arrangement of this game. Take Grange's Case The deeds of Harold "Rol" Grange on the football field has earned for him, many thousands of dollars in less than a fortnight after he had finished his college football campaigning. What pleased the flash and dash of the writings devour of the gobblers before the masses? THE PRESS! Many thousand have been gorges in action, but more thousands have never set eyes upon this great player of all times, just who know of his accomplishments as well as those who sit in huge stadiums and CHEERS HAGH A RUSY WITH WORKS The intervention of the Christmas holidays offset the practice of the college fives for a period covering nearly two weeks, but the approach of this week found most of them getting in shape for the season that is ahead. There will be some tough assignments on tap for the big quizzes, even some of the smaller schools carry some tough games on their schedules. There were only a few games during the preshool season and most of these had little bearing on the holiday honors. Of course, the first few starts of Hampton were important fives and by taking two additional games in a row, boosts her average and places the team in the lead for the conference honors. With the practices being taken up where they were left off, various coaches will carry their teams through some hard scrummaging to make up for lost time in order to force the foreground when the season is well under way. Local Prospects Bright Prospects for local basketball looms bright with one quiet having chalked up an partial victory. Even the independent teams that have signified their intention of going through the season, deferred their workouts during the yuletide festivities, but assumed work the latter part of last week or early this week. The Booker Washington team will take to the courts this week to make preparations for the season. The Bookers claim to have a supply of material that will give a good account of itself during the campaign. With a place in which to hold workouts practically assured several teams will be seen in action when things start in full swing.

Not one of the colored men is charged with assault upon women, while two of the condemned whites are. Practically all of the cases are in the process of appeal. watched him with abated breath, and it was through the press that Oscar thousands who never saw him know of Horrid E. Gronge. The value of the press to the colleges cannot be decided and they both should go hand in hand to ward the development of the great greats—SPORTS. Collerees Profit There should always be con- ception between the press and the editor and a deep felt conception of power on the part of the editor and another con- ception. The press covering any matters, longer than several columns athletic activities, ever their column for any other nature, they do more that the rest they did was news. It used the articles more giving them little thought to the collapse and recovery, but all good things it presented to the press that they in impaled having a other paper spread. And the only share received a newspaper that is as important to them as working with the advancement of athletes. Therefore the press might do better with these news to aid the press in advancing their purposes. Realizing the value of the press to the colleges, many of them now carry their athletic writers who furnish the press with the activity of the schools. In this particular case, there can be a closer amount of cooperation than if any other manner. In all reports sent the press by school writers, the same should be as correct as possible, unbiased and should show no tinge of partisan feeling. Facts and not personal opinions should be stated. There should be not the most intention of trying to deceive one school and praise another, nor deceive one player or group of players and hand others. Each should come in for their equal share of particular mention for accomplishments, good or below par, excellent or rotten. There is a tendency on the part of some school writers to concern all advertisers to their schools and alike their details. This is a state and state of affinity and the press is usually held responsible for the state's news that something do not do proper in the individual, individual or other towns. It has marked its point now that these on the press who write about the news place little in what various official writers say about writings, putting up to call true written information and where these things are ignored, it will now have to begin forming a close tie with and carrier relationship between the press and writers.

YOUNG Newport News, Va., Jan. 1—A fastball was sea-ooned basketball team of Hortonpton High School of the city faced outcast he tonight at all the hands of a set of dibbos, reattending the Y, M, C, A, to the time of 16-11 in a close counter made more exciting by the parallel score progress. King Rivermark, previously re-raired to us just 'King,' and star of last week's game against Saint Paul came to the for so poorly after the opening and registered the first basket of the evening. Exceeding close guarding from the high school kids limited King's offensive threat and the vimidely origin of the Y Five failed to recapture from the floor, but be old, however, account for two fences. Huntington tallied almost shot for shot in the first half with Alkun and Fisher doing the dirty work for the lasers while Pinner was bringing u, the Y end. King Robingan's foul shot shortly before half time broke the tie and gave the edge to the Association last at 6-7. In the final period it was merely Hall, who had substituted for Pinner, that told Huntington she must kiss the dust making three shots and one free throw. P. Ridley and Captain Fisher made four points but the space between was 6 o wide and the Y team went away victors by a count of 16-11. Allen, for the defeated was brilliant in guard, while Fisher attempted a, a good defensive game. P. Ridley and V. Spivig dig well. Hall for the Y, M. C. A, featured the attack with Pinner close behind. K. Robinson and Coles also did good work. The Score: Substitute--Y. C. Candady, F.; Hall, C. Christian, G. Hanning- ton; Ponton, F.; V.

"Y" EXPANDS IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES The Young Men's Christian Association in the schools and colleges of America have experienced during the past twelve months the greatest growth in religious development, new relationships, world education, of any previous year during the fifty years that the "YM idea has been developing on the school campus. This certainly be a true among the colored institutions. During the year just past, Dr. A. B. Curry of the Biblical Seminary, New York City, holds institutes on religion and the practicability of Christianity in the colleges from coast to coast. Mr. G. L. Collins of Ivy. Fellowship of Reconciliation visited all of our larger colleges speaking to student and teachers and leading them in discussions on war, race and industrial and international problems. Collected students associations are now definitely related to the World Student Christian Federation composed of thirty-six nations and races. Max Yergan, secretary of the native students of South Africa, graduate of an American College, product of the Association movement, is a member of the executive board of this world organization. During October and November more than one thousand students in men and women, colored and white, of the Southern states, met in joint World Court conferences, promoted and executed by both races. One third of these delegates came from colored institutions. Men and women of both groups organized and executed the first "all Tennessee" conference of students ever staged in that state. The total attendance of this conference was about two hundred, one-quarter of which was colored. For the first time in the history of the Association, colored students formed a part of the company that went on Pilgrimages through the continent of Europe during the past summer.

Tiger Flowers, the Demon Deacon and "Man of a Million Fists," despite his two setbacks at the hands of Jack Delaney is still holding the focus of the sportive spotlight. Since then, two third flowers has been stopping all opportunities thus placing himself in a position to be considered a possible opponent for Paul Kerberbach, the hard-sounding fight by eyewitness character of the world. The winner of the recent field between Flowers and Mike McTigre is a space holder of the crown. And much is waiving, was promised a shot at Paulie and in event there was a draw decision. Michael would receive the preference. Then, was no draw. Mike was donated the verdict, which by agreement puts him in line for a return bout with the champion, but will get it. His shooting was poor according to experts that his climbers are very thin and in the meantime Flowers and his manager has found a challenge at the chin through the Revered Commish. The challenge will receive due care attention. Flowers' list of defenses is impressive and it is ladened with some of the best in the rack. The Tiger is called the "Man of a Million Fists." He lives from all angles and his manners are flying at all times, in a relatable attempt to batter his man down. If he doesn't flatten a trap, he is by a while tumpin, thus taking the day without a moth. Flowers will reach the top with the proper armwrestle. DeHART HUBBARD'S SPORT REVIEW I have often heard Fort, men host team Hound, and from other schools, as well, hosting of the number of men from their Fiat who were on the school team. "Man, we the team last year" was one of the favorite statements. And the then teams suffered. It is no secret that Howard back of a decent representative base ball team during the past few years was due to the fact that the players would rather play on the Fiat teams than on the varsity. Some would feel material went to vista in this way. Fortunately players would draw larger crowds than Varsity games, because the Fiat team is the best players. The Varsity is a Fiat man, but he would rather see his Fiat team lose all their games than know that one man of varsity calibre was in Fiat team when he should be playing for the honor of the school. Fairness is all right, but a good should come first. W. C. of New York, writes Dear Hibbard! This fellow Moore of New York is the real goods. He stands head and shoulders above the rest of the school campers. He hasn't lost a race in two years. If he devours as he should hell go to Amsterdam in 1928 on the Olympic train. Keep your eyes on him." taint institution are being conducted and recommended that the gallery of manning the hospital with an active Negro staff be continued. The fraternity also endorsed the program of and took out a life membership in the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. It authorized its committee on the Colonel Charles Young Monument to co-operate with the other organizations who have obtained the permission of Mrs. Young, in the erection of a suitable monument at the grave of this cherished soldier in Arlington Cemetery. The re-arts of the Grand Officers and the scattered chapters revealed that Omega had completed a very successful year in all of its activities. The treasury was doubled, the fraternity expanded into sixy three chapters, a definite national Omega consciousness awakened and numerous members war honors in every field of endeavor.

In the parade there were seven brass bands, and 15 silver cups were awarded competing contigents in the line of march.

The judges of the parade were Col. B. W. S. Monksey, Col. W. H. Sands, Col C. B. Borland. The mounts ridden by the chief marshal and aides pranced decorously, to the blare of the brass bands. They were well groomed animals and seemed to enjoy being in the parade. Their rides handmade with bespoke dignity. The very uniforms were worn by the paraders, the regalia and banners carried formed an arresting spectacle. The hands poured out marital strains that kept the parade moving in martial steps, while the thousands lined the streets on both sides lent car to catch every note of the music. The industrial float of the blind class of the Community Center the float of Tidewater Hospital and the trade float of R. C. Acher, contractor, were outstanding features in the parade. The group of boys riding decorated bicycles, the Phyllis Wheatley Circle, the Great Norfolk Marching Club, the Knights of Pythias and the Waldors carried off the palm for excellence in appearance. Attractively decorated automobiles carried the officials of the association. The celebration was acclaimed by the citizens as having been wholly a success. Following the parade a banquet was tendered the chief marshal and his staff at Janitah's delicatessen. The exercises at night were entirely beftitting. Miss Mary F.

LACK CF UNITY MENACES RACE, SAYS PASTOR Deckers Rev. G. J. Allen In Stirring Emancipation Oration At St. John's Church Friday Night. Lack of cohesion or race unity is the most dangerous enemy of a progress, declared Rev. G. J. Allen, D. D., pastor of the Fifth Calvary Baptist Church, before a capable audience in St. John's A.M. On Friday night upon the occasion of the 62nd anniversary celebration of the Emancipation. Dr. Allen was the orator of the day. His speech in part was as follows. "That the Negro has made unparalleled strides towards the me- ridian of the highest and best achievements, no student will dare to deny. But while he has shaken the dews of a dark and benighted night from his locks, and helped to burst the clearness of his own investment, so that he now stands with C Dr. O. L. Allen, his late to the rising sun. New environments and stronger barriers, almost insurmountable, have thrown themselves in his path and he finds himself confronted with conditions that must contest his right to live among a people whose additions, institutions, and laws are against him. How he stands; within his old head he learns the implementation of his will in his able face he hears the voice of intelligence and character.

This treatment is based on the prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You take just one teaspoon at night before retiring and hold it in your throat for 150 or 200 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription in a double action. It no longer soothes and soothes and irritation, but it quickly removes the direct cause of night coughing. So the coughing stops quickly and you sleep all night undisturbed.

IN MEMORIAM ELIZA PORTLETTE SOUTHALL JANUARY 5, 1924 APPROPRIATION BILL FOR HOWARD FACES CONGRESS Investigation of University's Administration May Be Sought In Connection With Debate On Measure. (Special Correspondence.) Washington, D. C. The House will begin consideration of the Interior Department appropriations bill this week. This bill carries the appropriation for Howard University. It is expected that the items making appropriation for Howard University will be stricken out in the House on points of order that there is no warrant in law for the appropriation. The Senate, however, as usual, will insert the items and they will be agreed to in conference. Want Howard Affairs Probed In the background is a demand for a congressional investigation of the conduct of Howard University. Representatives of a group of alumni are reported to have seen Representative Martin B. Madden, Republican, of Illinois, chairman of the House appropriations committee, and to have submitted to him the changes against the present Howard University administration. Representative Madden has not committed himself, but is understood to have the matter under consideration. The Interior Department appropriation is not likely to carry an auditing $21,000 for Howard University, not including an item of $370,000 which will be appropriated for the construction of a medical school building. This total is $3,000 less than the amount appropriated for the current fiscal year. Item For Maintenance The bill will carry an item of $125,000 for maintenance. The sum of $150,000 was requested, but the Budget Bureau recommended the same amount as was given for the past two years. For tools, material and salaries for the manual arts department the bill will carry an item of $28,000. This is $6,000 less than was appropriated for the current fiscal year. For Medical Department The bill will carry for the medical department an item of $80,000 for equipment, laboratory supplies, apparatus, and repair of laboratories and buildings. That is the same amount as appropriated for the current fiscal year. The item of $370,000 for the construction of a new building for a medical department. No part of this sum, however, will be available until there is filled with the Secretary of the interior a guarantee by the trustees of the university that suitable equipment for this building will be provided at a cost of not less than $120,000 by subscription of alumni and friends of the university. Franky Durke, president of Howard University, told a subcommittee of the House committee on appropriations when hearings were held on the bill, that the architect will submit proposals on the building in February. He also stated that $80,000 of the $150,000 necessary for the physical乔装 had been raised. Other Items Other items in the bill include $3,000 for material and apparatus for the science department, $8,000 for the library, $30,000 for improvement of grounds and repair of buildings, and $18,000 for fuel and light. The fuel and light item is an increase of $3,000 over the appropriation for the current year and was recommended by the Budget Bureau. In his general statement before the subcommittee holding hearing on the bill, Dr. Durkee said: "The trustees, after most expert advice, brought about certain consolidations which eliminate duplications of work, thus reducing both clerical and the teaching force. The money thus saved was added to the salaries of the teach- AGENTS Sell our line of quick selling products in a clean up. Write for Big Free Offer only. Be quick.

BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday Prof. M. M. Fisher, A. M., of the Theological Department, Virginia Union University, delivered two masterly and elaborate discourses during the morning and evening services at Bank St. The subject of the morning service was "Keep On Keeping On." Variety of treatment with pointed and opposite illustrations throughout the delivery riveted the attention of Prof. Fisher's heavens from the beginning to the close of the sermon. In the evening Prof. Fisher preached on "Line Up For Jesus." On the second day Rev. O. J. Allen will fill the pulpit at the services. In the evening the celebrated a cata t a t "The Dawn of Christmas" will be rendered by the Bank Street choir Sunday. Diligent preparation has been made by the choir for its presentation and visitors are cordially invited to be present to listen to this masterpiece by the famous composer, Peace. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH Services began here with a spiritual early prayer meeting. At 11:30 the pastor preached one of his best sermons. His subject was "God's Ways." B. Y. P. U. met at 5:30 o'clock in a very interesting services. At night Rev. W. T. Dules preached a searching sermon from Matt. 2:2; "Where is He that is born the king of the Jews." Four persons were united with the church. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH The morning prayer meeting of last Sunday is one to be long remembered and is considered one of the best held in some times. The Sunday school made a fine showing both in attendance and offering. At the morning service, the pastor, Rev. Billips preached from Rom. 12:1. A covenant meeting was held in the afternoon. The B. Y. P. U. met at its usual hour and rendered a very good program. The night's service was featured with the Lord's Supper. The hand of fellowship was extended to six persons. MONUMENTAL A. M. E. CHURCH Using for his text the 102nd Psalm and 2nd verse; "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." Rev. Clark very beautifully delivered a New Year sermon on last Sunday morning. In eloquent terms, he pictured the passing out of the old year and the birth of the new. With each, the accompanying joys and sorrows were reviewed. Throughout his discourse, the pastor outlined man's benefits from God, and the results and duties and responsibilities of thee. Each hearer made a critical survey of his past, and thus gained greater courage to front life's battles, remembering that he has a never-failing Friend in Christ Jesus. There were two accessions. At night, the service was beautiful and touching. The Holy Eucharist was administered while the story of Christ's agony and suffering on Calvary's cross was depicted through stereotype views and sermon. A large congregation was present at both services. Feast of Lights At Grace Church Sunday Evening The celebration of the Epiphany will take place at Grace P. E. Church this Sunday evening at six o'clock. The service is a very impressive one. Three Wise Men of the East will enter the church singing, "We Three Kings From Old Are." An address on Epiphany will be delivered by the rector, Rev. Harris. Each person in the church will be given a taper which will be lighted by the Three Wise Men, who will receive their light from the One Light on the Altar. The congregation with lighted tapers will march from the church singing, "Light of Light That Sinheth." The service is most symbolic and the public is cordially invited. A part of the silver offering will go to the United Offering of the Woman's Auxiliary which cares for missionaries all over the world. GRACE P E CHURCH Last Sunday morning to a full congregation, which included many visitors Rev. Harris necured on the subject, "Growth." The text was taken from Luke 2:10. Rev. Harris began by saving that almost all things grew. Plants, animals, human beings, ideas, industry, all these grow. It is the evidence of life that they grow. He showed how modern society has developed from the primitive family. He showed how institutions grew. Then he said that Jesus expected his kingdom to grow, citing the parables of the mustard seed and that of the leaven. The principle of growth must do so to have healthy growth. The fact that the Child Jesus grew was dwelt upon and Rev. Harris showed how He grew in physical strength, spiritual strength, wisdom and in grace. Last of all the speaker applied the idea to the church and said that growth in numbers was not all that was necessary for healthy growth, there must be development in religion, education, service and by all means it must deepen its spiritual life. A brief review of the past year's work was given and in every department it was shown that there was progress. At the six o'clock service the vestrymen for the year were installed, and Rev Harris spoke of some of the things which it was hoped would be undertaken during the coming year. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE EMANCIPATION ADDRESS STIRS RALEIGH FOLKS Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown Declares The Time Has Come For The Race To Put On The "New Freedom" Raleigh, N. C., Jan. S—Pleading for a better understanding between the white and Negro races, Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, president of the Sedalia Normal Institute, and president of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, on Friday night, January 1, delivered the private address to the celebration of the sixty-third anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which was held in the auditorium of the Washington High School. A dramatization of the problem of the working girl and what can be done by Raleigh people to afford her protection and cultural surrounding was given under the auspices of the Raleigh Women's Club, Mr. L. E. Graves secretary and manager of the Eagle Life Insurance Company and president of the Eminence Association, probed and introduced Mr. Raleigh to most pleasing musicians. Music for the orchestra was furnished by the Raleigh Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Geo. T. Jones. Large Audience Present More than five hundred persons sat spellbound as Mrs. Brown delivered an address which lasted the better part of an hour. Many of them cried openly as the speaker pictured the days of slavery, and cheered wildly as she told of the good acts of many of Radebeg's best known citizens in befriending the race. "The Negro Woman and the New Freedom" was the subject of Mrs. Brown's address. Beginning with a word picture of the sufferers of the old-time slaves, she asserted that the time and place for the race to be undertaken, the shuckles of their mothers, and put on the "new freedom" which was theirs. She paid high tribute to the "Old Black Mummies," who she asserted were entitled to have their many sacrifices for the "Old Masters" commemorated but not by a monument at Washington. She said, "if our black mummy was all that our kind white friends have said she was, they should see to it that her children possess all the rights of American citizenship." Saying that during the campaign for woman's suffrage she could not have been counted an enemy and she now realized that the ballot is the great fundamental in American life; she urged every woman of color to register and to vote intelligently for the political and social freedom of our race group. Lauds Mrs. Bickett To Mrs. Bickett, she devoted a part of her address and said that Mrs. Bickett sensed the need of the Negro and wanted to do all in her power to bring about an understanding between the groups for the advancement of both. She explained that she met Mrs. Bickett at the Memphis conference which was held for the discussion of the interracial problems confronting the white and Negro races. Speaking on what President Abraham Lincoln did for the race, she asserted that the act of assured president was as honored the poor white class of the South as was to the Negroes, for "they came into their own as much as the blackest Negro by the Emancipation Proclamation." She said that the white women of America held the key to the situation and that they are working up to the realization of the slavery that has cheated them. She asserted that it remained for the women of the Negro race what the men had failed to do. She called on the women of Raleigh to work diligently for the race. MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH Many new faces were seen in the well attended Sunday school on last Sunday. The newly elected officers were installed by Mr. R. Johnson, former superintendent e n t.

Citizens Elated Over Cochran As Juvenile Judge (Continued From Page One) judge's public career over a number of years has brought him closely in contact with social welfare problems.

In other ways he is interested in sociological questions in sociological questions without regard to class, race or sect. Judge Cochran possesses judicial temperament which embitterly fits him for the position to which he has been elected, the role being buttressed by a depth of insight problems as well as high legal qualifications. A large delegation of citizens appeared before Council Tuesday afternoon in protest against consolidation of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations with the Police Court. Among those who spoke in favor of the court as now constituted and conducted was Attorney J. Eugene Diggs who appeared on behalf of the colored citizens, Mr. Diggs, in an impassioned plan, asked for the continuance of the court along its present lines, or broader lines, declaring it was one of the few agencies which enabled the colored youth of the city to find a real grapping scene to better citizenship. Attorney Diggs is one of Norfolk's best known and most successful lawyers. In his general practice, he too, on numerous occasions has found himself face to face with questions denoting his legal condition. Naturally he is well-informed on the value of the Juvenile Court to the colored people. It is believed that his plea had considerable influence upon the action of Council. Former Judge W. W.

COCHRAN Judge of Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court ws Bw ge * Judge Robert H. Terrell was a credit to himself and his race. He served in a judicial capacity by appointment of four presidents, one of them a Democrat, in the District of Columbia, and never had one of his decisions overridden by a higher court, so he told the writer four years ago, just before he suffered the first paralytic stroke. He was a hard student but a splendid companion who got a very great deal out of living that was worth while. The domestic servant problem we always have with us, and always will have, it seems, because Americans of all races have come to regard such service as personally offensive to their self-respect. Congressman Solomon Bloom of New York has introduced a bill in Congress to remove the immigration restrictions on domestic servants, and a great many agencies are favoring it. There is said to be plenty of demand for such service, but real Americans do not care for it, because they do not like the feature of personal service and treatment of such. American housewives able to maintain servants do not appear to know how to treat domestics, the hours being long and the pay very poor as compared with wages in other employments. A Subject That Could Be Dropped With Profit It was very kind of the Ledger-Dispatch, and typical of the genuine good-will that exists in its editorial department, to write so generously of the success of the emancipation day parade. The allusions, however, to "social equality" and racial amalgamation were intended, doubtless, as admonition or remonstrance to white readers of the Ledger-Dispatch, as it is exceedingly difficult in these times to find a colored man that is inclined to invite himself to dinner with his white fellow-citizen, or who has the temerity to bootleg the anti-racial intermarriage laws and conventions. The latest developments and evidence in bootleggery of that type appear to incriminate almost exclusively the whites—not the blacks. Among thoughtful Negroes such subjects as "social equality" and amalgamation are very disagreeable and are generally taboo. Negroes indulge the hope that their white friends will eventually feel secure in expressing pleasure in their advancement without revealing a lurking suspicion that their main objective is to obtrude upon them. The Ledger-Dispatch is not to be condemned for lecturing the Anglo-Saxons on these delicate matters, for that group seems to proceed under the notion that so long as the woman has no legal status and cannot hold anyone legally accountable for her social destruction, racial intermixture is excusable. Illegally practiced, it is not violative of the Anglo-Saxon code. Give it a legal status and it is utterly repugnant and voicall respectability. Mississippi Grand Jury Indicts The Lynchers After a man has been tried by a jury and found not guilty he is supposed to be free from the charge alleged against him, but he remains in the custody of the law until he is discharged. This happened in the case of Lindsay Coleman, when he was lynched by a mob who took him from the custody of his lawyer, who happened to be a high official of the ku klux klan. The outrage provoked the wrath of Judge Alcorn and the best people of Mississippi, including the klan lawyer of the victim, and the call for a grand jury investigation was general throughout the state, one bishop and the wife of the governor and a former governor joining in the demand. The state was aroused as never before. The authorities of Coahoma county, which adjoins the county in which Mound Bayou is located, and is not far distant from that famous race community, hearkened to the voice of the people of the state. They will always do it when the people are aroused and demand that they do it. The grand jury met and brought forth substantial evidence that it was convinced that the people of the state were in earnest and would not be denied. The sheriff was indicted and his office given to another, and nine other persons were named in four in- dictments, four of them being jailed because they were unable to secure bail. If grand juries and judges in the South are going to follow the law as laid down by Judge Alcorn and the Coahoma county grand jury, there will soon be no lynchings in the South, as there have been very few in the Northwest. Moreover, there would be no need of a federal anti-lynch law, such as has been introduced in both branches of Congress at the present session, and which is said to be giving the Republicans much concern because of the troubles they had in the previous Congress with the Dyer bill. The lynching business is one which primarily belongs among the police powers of the states and if the states would do their bounden duty in dealing with it there would be no need or agitation far a federal law. The Christians of the nation have been asked to pray that we have a lynchless year for 1926, and let us hope that they will so pray and that their prayers will be answered. They certainly will be if the states elect to deal with lynchers as Judge Alcorn and the Coahoma county grand jury are dealing with them. They Educated Twelve Sons And Daughters Many aspiring souls have been cheered on the way to success by the words of the good poet, that: Many aspiring souls have been cheered on the way to success by the words of the good poet, that: "Lives of great men all remind us We may make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." There is inspiration in the sentiment. The aspiring yield to it and are comforted and sustained. But who are the great of the earth, those who burn the midnight oil and attain to the high places in literature and statemanship and the professions and business and the ministry, and journalism? Perhaps. The world so makes the classification, but Jesus, who knew men and what is in man, said, "Let him that is greatest among you be the least," or words meaning the same thing. But the world has not followed that advice, neither has its historians. They have blazoned the bloody deeds of the warriors and the tricky statesmen and the greedy princes of finance and trade, as being the greatest, and left unsung the simple virtues and the heroic sacrifices of the millions who fathered and mothered the world's men of thought and action, for nobler and higher living. There came out of American slavery thousands of poor wives and husbands who had never had the advantages of an education determined that their sons and daughters should enjoy that supreme advantage, and they out of the depths of their poverty bent themselves to the task and accomplished a greater and more lasting work than any like number of people in the history of mankind. They labored in field and mine and washtub and domestic drudgery to get the money to keep their sons and daughters in school, counting no sacrifice, no labor, too great, that would contribute to the success of their determination, and they did not labor and sacrifice in vain. Today the race has thousands of educated men and women in the professions, in business, in the ministry, in the schools in uplift work, who owe their happy homes and their success in life to the education their sacrificing mothers and fathers enabled them to secure. And some of these sons and daughters are reaching the giddy heights in their chosen work and are being recognized by the world at large as people worth while and to be reckoned with. Take a single illustration. Mrs. Camilla Hilton Hubert died recently in Hancock county, Georgia, and black and white neighbors met together and acclaimed her virtues and deplored her passing. Why? Because she had been an exceptional woman, an exceptional wife, an exceptional neighbor. She and her husband, Zack Hubert, came out of slavery empty handed and without any schooling whatever. They had twelve children, as they went along, and they educated every one of the five sons and seven daughters, gave them a college education, their severest trial coming when they had six of them in college at one time, and every one of the twelve has made his or her mark in the world as teacher, educator, preacher, uplift worker, James H. Hubert of the Urban League being perhaps the most generally known. Zack Hubert is now an old man of eighty years. For fifty years he and his wife worked hand in hand to educate their twelve children, and they succeeded beyond their fondest dreams. Death stayed his hand until they had accomplished a great and good work and seen all of their twelve children educated and with their own homes and succeeding in the life work they had chosen. Shall we not classify Zack and Camilla Hubert as among the great of the Afro-American race? Norfolk Journal and Guide THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Help In An Emergency I stood recently on one of the busiest corners of downtown New York. As suddenly as lightning came sounds of grinding brakes, clanging gongs, and the shrill whistle of traffic cops. Pedestrains were training their necks to see. Vehicles of every description were pulling in towards the curb. Then, thrilling sight, came dashing down the narrow open wny the fire apparatus of a great city; swift chemical and hos, carts, ladder-trucks, a water tower, ponderous pumping engines; all sounds of grinding brakes, clanging gongs, and the shrill whistle of traffic cops.

Somewhere in this congested area a fire had gotten beyond ordinary control. But here was help in the emergency. Think you that the emergency created this help? I tell you, No. Behind this immediate help in time of need lay unnumbered tests of men and machinery, lay the pooled resources of the entire population. There had to be also a knowledge of how to call in this help. This was no time for one to be taking instructions in how to turn in an alarm or how to telephone fire headquarters. So is it in all of life. Emergency help cannot be created in a jiffy. Toadstools grow up over night, but not these helps of man's spirit. Take friendship, that fountain of consolation in trouble, in disappointment, when plans have been thwarted, when hope flickers low. Take the peace "that passeth all understanding," that inward calm which the winds of circumstance cannot ruffle. Take surety of God. In the dark hours when poison looks sweet or a gun seems beneficent or sin appears lovely, these things are available for our rescue. They save us in a very real sense. But who ever heard of these things springing up as if by fiat? Friendship must be cultivated, nourished, just as a mother feeds, bathes, clothes, kisses, fondles, croons to her child. Spiritual poise is no outcome of a mechanical acceptance of a creed. Surety of God also is not creed-born but experience-born. Like taxpayers contributing something year after year for the upkeep of a city's fire department, so men must be learning day by day that certitude of God which stands them in good stead when only God can meet their need. And thank heaven, man's greatest needs have been anticipated from all eternity. Friendship is as real as human existence. God is no illusive vision of a delirious deathbed. He is the World Ground, the Sum Total of all spiritual energies, from everlasting to everlasting. Think you that the emergency created this help?

Spirit of The Press Lynching From The Greensboro Daily News Two aspects of the Lindsay Coleman lynching near Clarksdale, Miss., stand out conspicuously. It was one of the most notable instances on record of complete overriding of the law by a few men who were determined to kill the Negro whatever a jury thought of his guilt; and it has resulted in the greatest amount of activity after the lynching that the state has exhibited in years.

From Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. The scales of justice are so doctored by social attitude in Mississippi—and, heaven help us, nearly everywhere else in the South—that only one conclusion is possible. The Negro is dead. His white lynchers are alive and part of the ruling caste. The sheriff may not return to his duties but none of the mob will swing and none is likely to do time. * * * What kind of civilization is this of ours which seizes a poor human who has just won his vindication at the hands of a jury of adverse racial and social composition, and does him to death on general principles? Is there not here a case of mob murder so mean, so low, so degraded and so unspeakable, as to arouse the whole state of Mississippi?

It has been the claim of many a mob that in "taking the law into its own hands," it was executing justice quickly, instead of waiting for the slow machinery of the government to function. In Coahama the law was prompt in action. White men functioned in every part of the machinery. It may be reasonably assumed that when a white jury in that environment found Coleman "not guilty" there was neither "reasonable" nor other doubt of his innocence. Yet the man whose innocence was proclaimed by the state was butchered at the door of the "Temple of Justice," and in the presence of lawyers and of a sheriff of whom the best that can be said is that he was pusillanimous.

From the Roanoke Times. Mississippi must show conclusively in the only way possible that the action of the mob was not the action of the best class of citizens and that those who took part in it have neither the sympathy nor the support of the rest of the community. There is only one way in which Clarksdale can repudiate and disavow lynch law and that is by bringing the lynchers into court, there to stand trial before the tribunal whose decisions they so lawlessly and outrageously set at naught.

BUSINESS TALKS In concluding this series of twelve articles, which have taken a newly organized venture from an embryo stage to the place where it is in a position to actually do business, its success from now on will be due to the efficiency of the management. It might be well at this juncture to define the word. Management is the net results, whether good or bad, of the plans and policies of the men in executive control of the business. If these plans are weighed, and aggressively carried out, the business will grow, and possibly become an industrial giant. If the management is ultra-conservative, and afraid to venture far-a-field, the enterprise will be stunted, and doomed to be eliminated from the field of its endevor. The importance of management, is evidenced by the very large salaries being paid all the leading executives in the large corporations today. It has been found through experience, that for the conducting of business, where hundreds of thousands, or millions are involved, the high-priced man, with years of successful executive experience behind him is the cheapest man. Such a man, or group of men, is able to see leaks, and effect remedies, which result in profit to their respective companies. These savings make their large salaries sink in importance. The agitation today for economic freedom, and just compensation for its efforts as waged by various labor unions, is called labor's war against capital; but this is wrong, the strife is between labor and management. Capital itself takes a very inactive part in various disputes; it is represented by its respective management. Many busi-ness men in direct control of affairs, have arisen from the ranks, and have experienced the same hardships or fostered the same animosity towards the management as the present agitators, but as they arose in the scale of importance, their understanding became greater, and many of the things that were hazy, through a better understanding, are made clear. Such men are more than apt to be able to settle the differences on an equal basis, suitable to both labor and capital, of which they, the management, are the trustees, and responsible to for their acts. Management is never in favor of strikes or lockouts, only when the demands of labor are so unreasonable; their experiences have taught them that an idle plant earns nothing, but its depreciation charges are greater because of this idleness. The ability to keep an enterprise running profitably, with an army of satisfied customers, and a loyal group of workers, is the best tribute I know of for any management. Roland Hayes By M. ASHBY JONES. D. D. In The Atlantic. Constitution. The story of Roland Hayes in many respects is an old, old story, which is ever new and welcome, in its historic challenge to admiration. It is the story of a poor boy, born into a narrowed environment of poverty and ignorance, beetred of all artistic urge and inspiration, who by sheer genius, industry and sacrifice climbs to a pinnacle of achievement in the world of art. But in the case of Roland Hayes there was another obstacle, not usual in these stories. He is a Negro, the son of slave-parents. Even after he had won his battle and conquered the almost insuperable difficulties in gaining an education and the cultivation of his voice, how could he, an unknown Negro, get a hearing? Then it was, with a superb faith in his art, he dared Boston to try him. Hiring Symphony hall at an expense of a thousand dollars, he crowded that great auditorium and made people forget that he was a Negro. The audience the other night which greeted Roland Hayes in Atlanta was in some respects as significant as the singer. It was composed of the very best representatives of both races. This audience, too, came in answer to a challenge: Do you love beauty and are you willing to honor genius and heroic sacrifice wherever it shall find human expression? The best of the two races met with no social question involved; each maintaining its racial integrity and dignity; but they met on a very high level, a THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW plane of generous recognition of artistic attainment. Purpose of Education Purpose of Education There has been a very cheap and superficial dictum, familiar upon the lips of our people, that a Negro's voice was robbed of its music by cultivation. Roland Hayes is a striking and overwhelming refutation of this idea. The same false idea has been often applied to the mind of the Negro. It is a vicious misconception of the true purpose and process of education itself. Every gift of God is in embryo. All the faculties and powers of the personality lie latent. Education means to wake them up, challenge them to expression, direct and train, until the personality is in full possession of its powers. Of course, there is a spurious education which is bad, not only for the Negro but for the Anglo-Saxon. Much that has been called education has utterly failed to adapt the boy, whether white or black, to life, and rendered him incompetent to make his contribution to the world. We may lay it down as the inalienable eight of every baby born into the world to have a fair chance for the full and free development and expression of all the powers which God has given him. Roland Hayes is a challenge, too, to the youth of his own race. There are difficulties and obstacles to be overcome by the Negro youth, just because he is a Negro. It is not my purpose to justify, condemn or even attempt to explain away the barriers which stretch across the pathway of every ambitious Negro boy or girl. The position of the Negro youth, is the resultant of a long, long story of the past. While this position is different from others, it is not unique. Other races and classes are born into environments of peculiar difficulties. But Roland Hayes has made this priceless contribution to his race; he has revealed what a Negro boy in America, despite all difficulties, can do and be. Now, every Negro boy cannot be a Roland Hayes, nor can every Italian Nineteen twenty-five has gone into history. A New Year is upon us with its promise and its prophecy. The old year has been one of unbroken business progress and prosperity. The Negro has participated in the general tide of material Dr. Miller Dr. Miller advancement. While the showers of blessing were scattering over the land, some droppings have fallen even upon him. There has hardly been a time since the flush years of the war when the race as a whole has been more generally employed at such remunerative rate of wages. A considerable surplus of their carnings has gone into the purchase of homes or into other forms of savings. Outwardly there has been the appearance of racial peace and harmony, but underneath the leaven of suspicion has been working. There have been no violent racial outbreaks or riots on a threatening scale. The total number of lynchings have been reduced to the lowest point since accurate records have been kept. The Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund of five million dollars has been subscribed, which will adequately endow these great institutions for all time to come. A Negro has given twenty-five thousand dollars in cash contribution to Kittrell College in North Carolina which has been enriched to the extent of nearly a million dollars through the beneficence of Mr. Duke the millionaire tobacconist. His more wealthy brother has bequeathed over fifty million dollars to education and social service in the two Carolinas, in which the Negro generously shares. The Johnson C. Smith University receives an endowment of eighty thousand dollars annually which capitalizes at nearly two million dollars. No single year has ever before brought such good fortune to Negro education by way of material contributions. Other Negro schools have received their customary allotments which on the whole have shown a tendency to increase. From Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch. Nowhere else in the world do two races of alien birth, of different color and of distinct racial characteristics dwell together with as great peace and harmony or with a better mutual understanding and appreciation than do the white and colored people of the Southern United States. Racial amalgamation there can never be without bringing about a mongrel race lower than either. Social equality there can never be in the sense in what that term is ordinarily used. But as each race progresses the better element of the other applauds its progress and watches its upward course with a friendship that has in it much of real affection. The annual Emancipation parade of various Negro orders yesterday was more than creditable. It was a spectacle well worth seeing and it may be noted in pasing that it was witnessed by as many white people as colored, and that the applause among both was general. Those who had not witnessed such a parade before were probably impressed with the place the various secret orders and lodges have in the social structure of the colored people. So far as the tenets of those orders are known to the public, they inculcate principles peasant be a Caruso, but the fact that a boy is a Negro will not prevent his being a Roland Hayes. There was another very heartening and significant feature of the Hayes concert. The best of the white race met his challenge and responded with gracious and liberal appreciation to this call for recognition of worth. The story of these two races, dwelling together in the South, is unprecedented in history. Problems never before propounded and questions never before asked have called for solution and answer. How often we have given the wrong answer, and how often By KELLY MILLER Looking retrospectively over the year, just closed, Dr. Kelly Miller sees that: "There has hardly been a time since the flush years of the war when the race as a whole has been more generally employed at such remunerative rate of wages. A considerable surplus of their earnings has gone into the purchase of homes or into other forms of savings. Outwardly there has been the appearance of racial peace and harmony, but underneath the leaven of suspicion has been working. There have been no violent racial outbreaks or riots on a threatening scale. The total number of lynchings has been reduced to the lowest point since accurate records have been kept." There has been a distinctively new appreciation of Negro genius in the domain of the higher arts. Negro spirituals received an enhanced appreciation. Roland Hayes has heightened the meaning of Negro song. Dr. Locke, in the Negro edition of the Survey Graphic which he more recently edited in book form, under title of "The New Negro," has attracted the attention of the literary world to the artistic possibilities of the Negro race. For these and other specific incidents and encouraging indications we give thanks and express gratitude. And yet when we take a comprehensive view of the tendency and drift of things the general movements of the year just closed have been retrograde so far as the status of the race as a whole is concerned. When we engage in serious contemplation our spirit becomes gravely reflective rather than boastingly proud. The most serious movement of the year affecting the comprehensive well-being of the race has been the sinister dissemination of the ku klux propaganda. The fundamental purpose of this hooded order is to fix the non-white element of a national population in an inferior position. The danger is all the more insidious because it has for the time discarded the more brutal method of violence and frightfulness and resorts to the more recondite and plausible policy. Back of the ku klux spirit lies the purpose of residential segregation. During the past year that are well worth while. That this is generally true is shown by the adherence to such lodges of the more intelligent and progressive leaders of the Negro race. A comment on the parade entirely without racial significance is the way we have all learned since war days to salute the flag. The head not bared when the colors passed was the exception. Those in charge are to be congratulated on the number and quality of the hands of music which enlivened the spectacle and on the better quality of horses and better riding than has been general in parades of all kinds since horseback riding gave way to the motor car. Norfolk has every reason to think well of its colored citizens. It appreciates the efforts they are making, sometimes against difficulties, for better living conditions, for higher standards, their progress in education, their love of home life and the things that make for better citizenship. Those who took part in the parade and the race they represent are an important factor in the building of Norfolk into a better and a larger and happier city—an effort in which those of us of every race and color and creed can unitedly join. we have blundered, as blindly we have stumbled forward, only God can say. But the Roland Hayes concert stands out in striking contrast to some of the tragic experiences of our racial history and marks such an encouraging length in the progress which we have made, that one left the auditorium with new heart and hope. Cold weather through the northern hemisphere has caused such a demand for gloves that those made in Czecho-Slovakia alone this year will have a value of $4,500,000. John Adams negotiated a treaty with Holland in 1781. the tide of segregation has run high against us. The advantage which we hoped we had won by a war time decision of the Supreme Court, it now seems that we have lost during the quiet times of peace. We learn that at least seventeen cities, North South, East and West, have engaged to devise some plan to subvert the decision of the Supreme Court. Local courts, as far as tested, have upheld the legality of the method of covens among property holders. The current is running in one direction. If there is a single representative journal in America or any other organ of public opinion which espouses the contrary view, it has failed to fall under my notice. The sacred press is as silent or as sinister as the secular. This all but solid attitude on part of the whites has awakened emphatic reaction on our part. Through our militant organization, the N. A. A. C. P., we have undertaken to combat the tide of segregation. It was met in Detroit in its illegal and violent form, and fought to a temporary stand still. We are now facing it in the District of Columbia, in its peaceful and legalized form. Before this release sees the light, the case will probably be argued before the Supreme Court of the United States. There is nothing but the technical letter of the law that stands between us and segregation. There is no supporting public sentiment. We can only furnish the most capable and learned counsel and pray that the judges will be led to the righteous decision. Religiously, the past year has been a passive one. The Negro took no active part in the raging controversy between the modernist and the fundamentalists. The churches pursued their normal rounds of routine duties. The Methodist Episcopal Church South refused to reunite with their Northern brothers because the Negro stood as a stumbling block in the way. The colored contingent with becoming Christian humility recorded his willingness to accept certain limits of segregation, if that would be a means of uniting their white fellow Christians in the North and in the South. But race prejudice, the modern anti-Christ thwarted his complacent self effacement.
