WOULD SECURE GREAT AMERICAN SHIPS TO DEPORT MILLIONS OF RACE BY J. A. ROGES READ IT—Next week Mr. Rogers will give in the Journal and Guide a comprehensive re- view of what is believed the most startling revelations of face mixing ever made. "I'm glad you did not find us with g e s. we're said to be," John Pow. "I'm glad you o o the gr e s we said John Powell, founder of the Anglo-S a x o n Clubs in parting after our next meeting. Our w now kindly, if we can do anything for you be sure to let us know." PETER H. And truth to say I had not. Quite otherwise. I had found h i m and his co-worker Ernest Sevier Cox, to be very fine gentle men. indeed. Powell is. Mr. Rogers oest, sympathetic, and very kindly; Cox is jovial, mild-mannered, and quite likeable. travelled much, particularly in Africa, and free and easy manner of the globe-troter. Powell is a pianist of no mean reputation. Had I never heard of the mind of propaganda they are engaged in. I felt I could have liked them, just as much as some of my excellent friends, colored a d and a white. Both men showed, moreover, an extreme solicitude at present Necro injustices. Both seem much moved when I told of the daughter in the Chicago riot. It is just here that appearances are most deceptive; it is here where so many colored folk perk themselves to be deceived for it is from just such affable sources howagination which culminates in frithings, race-riot and racial discords which is the bane in this echelonic paradise of America. As I listened to them my mind grew awake of the history of famine I witnessed in the Chicago riot,imented by such pleasant gentlemen as these and I felt, indeed, as I were having an interview with the Devil, himself. Powell Appears Sincere Powell, particularly, strikes me as being sincere. But who knows but that the Devil is quite sincere in his mischief. There are doctrines, the preaching of which sit wits bloodless, and war; those who love the earth, spread love and light and healing. Who doubts that an apostle of the former can be quite as sincere as the latter? If there is a Devil, you may depend upon it, he is quite an aftable fellow; it is his imps who are the coarse fellows, and in this case is the rag-tags and bobtails that the knights—who are the fountain of mischief, like Messrs. Cox, Picker, and Powell. It has been charged that both men are agitating chiefly for personal gain. Powell, it is rumored, is appealed because it is said that Nathaniel Dett was chosen over him in a piano recital—but I don't think so. Both are suffering, in my opinion, particularly Powell, from swollen ego. Had they grown up in a country where there were no Negroes their excessive conceit would have found expression in dislike for members of their own so-called race. They would have been good haters of the English, French, Germans, Americans and the case may be. Their anti-Migro feeling is only incidental. Indeed, there ought to be nothing remarkable about this type to so-called Negroes, for have we had our ultra-racialists? Change the tone of men like him by bemoaning their illusion thought—to black, yellow or brown, and they would bark as loudly as the other side of the fence as they are now doing on this. It is not a matter of race but of human nature—the nature of the man who is not happy unless he is maintaining a caste or looking down upon a fellow man. Garvey Enthusiasts Both men are intensely interested in Garvey and are backing his movement. Powell says that Garvey is one of the greatest influences that has ever come into his life and anxiously wanted to know whether I thought him guilty. I replied that to the best of my knowledge he had not stolen any money but that false representations had undoubtedly been made to promote the sale of stock and that the law had held him, as head of the Black Star Line, responsi- Norfolk Journal and Guide Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Virginia.

Both declared that his imprisonment was a great injustice, and wanted to know if there was such a thing as justice on this earth. After discussing the matter of Garvey's proposed release and deportation we came to the African colonization plan, which both are lying hard, push through the present session of the legislature, thence to all the other states, and finally to Congress. "The white man," said Cox "tore your people from Africa, robbed you of all your land and your tribal rights. He crowded you in vile ships and brought you to these shores. But he may now furnish you with ships and every comfort to take you back. We intend to see that this nation acquire African territory, and divide the among you as we do. We pledge the white man to use his ships to carry you home, his weapons to fight your enemies, and his implements of peace to make you a wealthy people." I thought this even fisher than the famous promise of "forty acres and a mule," and suggested that the European powers had Africa pretty well sowed up, so far as the American Negro was concerned, who was feared thrust out the length and breadth of Africa because it was the ideal ideas, mentioned the complication I had brought on myself when I asked for a vise last summer to go to Africa. I said that the sole hope was the break-up of European domination but Cox did not seem to relish that idea. Points To Liberia "There is Liberia," he replied, "Liberia is capable of holding all the Negroes in America. Your only hope is colonization for as long as the Negro remains here he will be exploited. The Chamber of Commerce wants the Negro here because they want to rob him. It is a shame." "We stand for absolutely equal justice for both races," said Powell, "but they must be separate. Segregation hundred years in this state must not be broken down. Race mixing is biologically bad." Now, I am a mixed blood and don't think that I am such a bad follow after all, so I thought this wasn't quite complimentary. I ignoring this, however, I again suggested that from what I had learnt of the psychology of the American-Liberian I was led to believe that he was as little likely to welcome any number of American Negroes as the British. I also pointed out that since the growth of any given population was the result ofvolution that any shifting of population would cause two problems instead of one—one in the place to which it was shifted from where it was, taken. However, it strikes me that deportation is one way to settle the Hampai Institute situation and that if these gentlemen have their way I will be able to visit Africa, after all. Cox wanted to know whether Negroes would be willing to go 'back' to Africa. I told him that I knew a few who were eager to do so, but that the majority were such good Americans that when any of the number got disgusted and went to France or South America they, like the yellow cat, promptly came back. Appeals To Pride "Tell me," flashed Powell, "have your people no pride!" Their theory is that the Negro who wants to go to Africa is pride. Cox says: "Were I commissioned to retain a part of your race in America and send the others away I would retain those who wish to go and send those who wish to remain. If I kept any it would be those who wish to build a nation of your own. If my race must lose its purity, pray God that the aliens, ter be those to unite their own blood and seek to express its blood." This statement, by the way, shows that he regards analgamation as inevitable unless the (Continued on Page Eight) Must be First-Class Job Composer. Satisfactory Wages and Working Compensation.

Sensen, Republican, of Illinois, the Senate Judiciary Committee took no action at its meeting last Monday on either the McKinley anti-lynching bill or the nomination of James A. Cobb to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. Favorably Reported The McKinley anti-lynching bill has been favorably reported to the Judiciary Committee by the subcommittee to which it was referred. A motion by Senator Deneen to report it favorably to the Senate is pending. No action has been taken on the Cobb nomination. The subcommittee, to which it was referred, had not met on account of the illness of Senator Deneen last week. Both of these matters are expected to be taken up at the next meeting of the Judiciary, Committee next Monday. $1 $1 $1 $1 Are You Handy With A Kodak?

COURT ORDER HALTS ATLANTA BARBER LAW Court Proceedings to Restrain City From Putting In Effect Act Prohibiting Service To White Patrons. Atlanta, Ga., March 2—Judge E. D. Thomas in Fulton Superior Court Tuesday granted a temporary injunction restraining the city from putting into effect the barber ordinance adopted by the City Council, February 15, prohibiting Negro barbers from serving white women and white children under 14 years old by the city, and bringing by two white barbers, who employ Negro help and 13 colored barbers, who acted at the instigation of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. Violates Constitution The petitioners set out that the ordinance is contrary to the Constitution of the United States and its Fourteenth Amendment because it deprives Negro barbers of their liberty and property without due process of law. The injunction proceedings were filed by the law firms of Brandon and Hynds, Alston and Alston, Foster and Moose and Little, Powell, Smith and Goldstein, and the petitioners moved the papers at the B. C. Chaires in H. Gentminger, M. D. Dodson, B. Berry Jones, Bob Bats W, K. P. Hollis, Frank Collins, Howard Pitts, E. S. Jones, C. A. Faison, A. Nash, Berry Green, A. F. Herndon and C. F. Morris.

THE FIRST NEGRO AUTO ASSEMBLY PLANT BUILDING Enterprising Inventor Takes Experience Gained In Chicago Factory To Georgia, And Launches Race Project (Special Correspondence.) Albany, Ga.—Construction on an automobile assembly plant to be owned and operated by Negroes has begun here, according to an announcement in the Albany Herald, a local daily publication. The plant is headed by L. A. Headen, who for a number of years has experimented in motor cars, having invented a four cylinder motor, the first car containing his motor coming into existence more than six years ago, according to daily paper, that he built several cars at Plant in Chicago, but seeing, he declares, that the South is the place for the Negro to develop the fullest opportunities for economic development, came to Georgia to try to build a plant for the manufacture of his automobile. Has Tract of Land Headen is in possession of a tract of land near the city, on which there is already one building, built by the Georgia Pimento Company. This building is being added to and as soon as the addition is completed the work ofsembling the Hadoop automobile will begin. He expects to be running it a little over a month. It is believed the plant will constitute the first and only automobile assembly plant in the world owned and operated by Negroes. MAY GET. THE BILL AIMS TO PARK BEFORE TIGHTEN GRIP HOT WEATHER ON PEONAGE Council's Park Committee Still Working On Plans For Acquiring Suitable Site For Recreation Center. SEVERAL PLACES ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION There is every probability that before sultry weather again sweeps over the city, there will be available and accessible to the colored citizens of Norfolk public recreational facilities in the way of a park, adequately equipped for children, playground equipment for children, and open space for the leisure hours of adults. At least that is the determination of Councilman E. Jeff Robertson, chairman of the Council's park committee, who is assiduously working on plans to make the park a reality. In this determination he has the united support of a majority of the members of Council that body being virtually unanimous in it's decision to the most pressing feature of the city's park situation at present in the evolving of some plan that will meet the recreational needs of the colored population. Seriously Considering The Matter Courcieman Robertson told the Journal and Guide Wednesday that this matter has given him more serious thought than any other matter pertaining to the park situation, and probably as much concern as any other matter that has come to his attention since he has been a member of the Council. Mr. Robertson has given much time and attention to the situation, having personally inspected some cities to determine availability, self-commitibility for the purpose. He has met with situations, scarcely comprehensible to one who has not had such matter to deal with, but he stated that he is as much determined as ever to have that park just as soon as it possibly can be obtained. "It is a thing the colored people of this city ought to have for their health's sake and for the public good, and it is a thing due them by virtue of their citizenship," declared the senator, "and indeed I realize that these things cannot be brought about over night, I am confident we will succeed in our efforts to give your people something worthwhile in the way of public recreational facilities in no distant future," he added. Inspects Sites Although not caring publicly to mame sites under consideration for the park, Mr. Robertson did mention several that he has inspected, one of which his committee is inclined to favor, even though, he stated, his acreage is not quite as large as the committee would prefer to have. Mr. Robertson let it be known that he was prepared toward the day when the half-loaf when the whole loaf cannot be had. In fact, he looks with favor upon the idea of smaller open spaces but more of them, accessibly located throughout the city. His parting shot was: "The colored park project has not been shoved in the background by the Council and will not be until something definite has come out of it." During the interview, he gave the impression that the subject was a man which he, with the cooperation of his associates of the Council; intends to see through to a finish. DEAD MAN ARISES (By Associated Negro Press.) Baton Rouge, La., Mar. 5—The resurrection and the hegira came within five seconds last night when Willie Coats, colored, who had been "dead" for several hours, a rose from his bed around which dozens of mourners had gathered for a wake. Coats had influenza for several days, and his life was despaired of. At ten o'clock he gave a gasp which marked death thought his friends. The church bell tolled out his passing and friends gathered for the wake. At four a. m., he suddenly raised from his bed with the remark, "Iaint gon' ye?" But before he could open his eyes the mourners fled via doors and windows. When day broke the doctor came and said he broke the man had only a fainting spell. He is now able to sit up and expects to be driving the old mule within a week. FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO PARTS WARD UNI BILL AIMS TO TIGHTEN GRIP ON PEONAGE PRIZE WIN Southern Congressman Would Sanction Chattel Slavery By Federal Legislation On Con- tracts To Labor. WOULD BE BLOW TO SOUTHERN EXODUS Washington, D. C., Mar. 2—Virtual slavery would be permitted under the provisions of an amendment to the law against the holding or returning of persons to a condition of peonage. This amendment was offered by Representative Butler B. H. Aurea, Democrat, of South Carolina. It was referred to the House Judiciary Committee. Provisions of Amendment The amendment provides th a t "where a person enters into a written contract with another for personal services to be performed within one year, with intent to injure, cheat, or defraud, and receives in advance the consideration in whole or in part and then, with like intent and without just cause, fails and refuses to perform or execute such contracts, it shall not be unlawful to hold, it causes to be arrested, inform or cause to be such person for the purpose of having such person tried in a court of competent jurisdiction." The Penalties The amendment also provides that such person shall, upon conviction in any Federal or United States Court, be find not more than $500, or imprisoned not more than six months, or both." The law as it now stands makes any person, who holds, arrests, returns, or in any manner aids in the arrest or return of any person to a condition of noonage, subject to a fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both. URGENT NEED FOR PAYMENTS TO CHEST FUND According to the records of the Colored Division Community Chest Fund, states Aber E. Lee, secretary, a number of organizations and individuals making pledges to the Fund during the November campaign have not made a payment on their pledges, although one-fourth of the amount subscribed was due on January 1, of this year and another fourth, the amount was due March 1. Mr. Lee states that it is not the opinion of the officials of the Fund that some of those subscribing did not know when or where to pay, and for that reason it is requested that all who pledged kindly send in one-half the amount subscribed or any portion of the said sum to the Branch Administration. Community Banking at as early date as possible, in order that family relief and social uplift work supported by the Fund may continue. Request Is Urgent It is very urgent that this request be heeded, inasmuch as the several welfare agencies whose budgets are based upon pledges made to the Community Fund last fall, are finding their, activities seriously embarrassed on account of the irregularity of payment of these pledges. It is this time of the year when the most pressing demands are made upon charity, and it is this time of the year when the public support of charity must of necessity be the most dependable, if a great deal of human suffering is to be avoided.

Differ on Executions When Henry Butler, convicted for felonious attack upon a little white girl, was hanged in the jail yard at Georgetown, Del., Friday, February 26, a small gate in the court yard was opened and the curious crowd that had gathered and booed and catcalled the prisoner as he was led to his death, was opened so they might get a temporary view of his form dangling from the ropes. The minions of the law were determined that the crowd on the outside demanding vengeance should be appeased. This was in Delaware. Just recently the Governor Angus Cullen of North Carolina is asked to prohibit relatives of the aggrieved to witness executions of the condemned on the grounds that executions represent the sacred majesty of the law and are not intended to satisfy the demand for personal revenge. But this was in North Carolina. LINOTYPE OPERATOR WANTED Good Salary and Perman- ent Employment for right Pers on. References re- quired. Apply— Guide Publishing Co. (Incorporated) 711 E. OLNEY ROAD NORWOLK VA RESIGNS TO ACCEPT CALL TO BROOKLYN President Of Howard University Yields To Opportunity To Fill Historic Pubit And To Appease Enemies. LEAVES WASHINGTON ON FIRST OF JULY Washington, D. C., March 3—The Rev. James Stanley Dukeke has announced his resignation as president of Howard University and has accepted the pastorate of Plymouth Congregational Church in Brooklyn, N. Y. Dr. Durkelee will fill the vacancy at Plymouth Church caused by the resignation of the Rev. Dwell Dwight Hines in April of last year, after 25 years service in the church and will become its fourth pastor, the first two being Henry Ward Beecher and Dr. Lyman Abbott. He will assume his duties on July 1. Under Fire Dr. Durkee relinquishes the presidency of Howard University virtually under fire. "For more than a year the Howard Welfare League, composed of a large section of Howard alumni and expressing the sentiments of a lay lawyer, number, recently preferred charges with the board of trustees against Dr. Durkee, accusing him of inefficient, dictatorial and inhumane administration of the university's affairs. Long before the charges took place form, however, pitless publicity of the most unfriendly sort had been directed Dr. Durkee by the Howard Welfare League and by a special writer in the Afro-American under "Alumnus" in a series of articles in which startling allied exposures were made against the regime of the university head. Although there was considerable unrest and dissatisfaction regarding Dr. Durkee's administration in evidence previously, the student strike of last spring actually brought things to a head. It was then charged that Dr. Durkee's unsympathetic and dictatorial attitude had much to do with the strike. Following closely behind this, at a state hearing the was questioned that of an educational expert who had made a survey of the university's affairs, several of the most able members of the faculty were dropped. The charge immediately was made that these persons had become non grata with Durkee because they refused to train with him in his policies of alleged inefficiency. Charges Filed Some months ago the Howard Welfare League, avowedly determined to force Dr. Durkee's resignation, filed with the trustees formal charges, against him. At a special meeting called to hear the charges the university head was exonerated of every single specification made in the complaint. Dr. Durkee's vindication at the hands of the trustees did not deter, however, those who were bent or having his resignation. A threat was made to carry the fight on him to the floor of Congress via the Howard appropriation bill, but this later was abandoned, yet the unfavorable publicity whitened it up. On this day, a march with President Durkee's failing into bad grace with a large section of the colored public was his acceptance of the president of the Curry School of Expression of Boston, an institution that receives no colored students. The Howard president accepted that position in addition to his duties in Washington. This act of acceptance taken to indicate his endorsed the Boston school's policy of race discrimination, and served to bring bitter condemnation upon him. Has Many Friends Dr. Durkee, however, has a number of friends who are also friends of the university, who point to his commitment, having been one of constructive progress for Howard. The vast physical improvements at the institution and the handsome congressional appropriations to Howard in late years are accredited by his efforts. City Social and Personal Rev. E. J.

Advice To Girls BY NAOMI ATTENTION, GIRLS! In this column each week, Naomi will help you with your problems. Questions on conduct, custom, dress, love or any subject that you are interested in will be careful considered and answered. Write your questions in ink on one side of the paper and address them to "Naomi." Care Norfolk Journal and Guide, 711 E. Olney Road. Dear Naomi: I am a 3rd year high school girl, 16 years of age and my mother objects to my attending all of the frolics and dances given by the boys and girls of the school. Please say that you feel I should be allowed to go. So many do go until I feel I am missing all the fun. WISTFUL Dear Wistful: It is hard to talk to a girl when you know what you have to say will not please her. You should not want to attend all the affairs. Life will have nothing to offer you later my dear if you take in everything now. I think it would be nice for mother to let you go once in awhile. Why even a college girl cannot attend everything, get her lessons and keep her health. It is too much of a strain. Dear Naomi: I am not a school girl as I must work for my living as I have no one to support me. I am attending night school with hopes of someday being in position to seek better employment, but I get so discouraged as it seems to take so long. Please tell me if you think I can make it this way. WORRIED Dear Little Miss Worried: Of course you can make it. I am glad you have the courage to try and all you need to do is stick to it. Save all the money you can and study as hard as you can and then when you have enough for a start there are several good schools will take you and let you work your way if you mean business and I am sure you do. Send self- addressed and stamped envelope for personal reply. Dear Naomi: I am so often blue because I feel I cannot dress like the other girls. They have so many pretty things, I feel that I look shabby and I do not want to look like that nor feel like it and I do want to be an honest upright girl. Please tell me what to do to help my condition. DESIRE Dear Desire: Ah! me I can imagine how you feel but you have the main requisite and that is a desire to be honest and upright. Then you can look the whole world in the face my child and that is more important than clothes. Now listen, no girl is ever shabby who will keep her body clean and sweet and wear no soiled clothes. Be sure they are well mended and no holes in hose. Try and not wear shoes with run over heels and you can be well dressed at all times as your appearance will always be neat. Silks and satins do not make fine ladies but the heart underneath that shines through tells what you are.

"For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margaret Burton, of Kansas City. "I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and melancholia. Now I am the proud mother of a beautiful little daughter and a true companion and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I will gladly reveal it to any married women who will write me."

HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS' Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER, Home Economics Dept., Calumet Baking Powder Co. The Hot Sandwich A Complete Meal Whether the idea of hot savory sandwiches substantial enough for a whole meal in themselves originated in the tea-rooms and migrated to the home kitchen I do not know, however, the hot sandwich is a popular solution of the lunch-oon or supper menu whether one dines at home or in a tea-room. It is even found on some breakfast tables or offers a variation from the usual form of dessert. It is not so long ago that the well-known club, sandwich was practically the only hot sandwich served, and if one ever tried a sandwich meal at home, it was almost sure to consist of that timetried combination of chicken, bacon, tomato, toast and mayonnaise. This was probably because the club sandwich had hit upon the right combination for the satisfactory meal of this type—a bit of meat, a fresh vegetable and crisp toast. As soon as the ingenuity of woman caught the idea that here was a way of serving a meal and eliminating the extra service of bread, butter and separate meat and vegetable dishes, a whole flock of hot sandwiches came to be known. More are still being concocted, and they will continue to be, for the sandwich meal has come to stay, as well as the attractive sandwich shops scattered throughout our cities. Already there are types and classes of these hot sandwiches. There are those in which the frame work of the sandwich is toast, others in which it is sauted slices of bread, French-fried toast or fresh slices of bread baked with the sandwich filling, and still others in which hot baking powder biscuits or crisp toasted crackers are used. Besides the regulation—filling between two slices of breadstuff—there is the open face kind, which really isn't a sandwich at all, because the top slice is left off and a garnish of cut parsley, pickle, olive or grated cheese is used instead of the covering slice. Then is a third and novel type of sandwich, in which the outer structure is of meat. This is cut in thin slices, dipped in fritter batter and fried in fat, and a filling of vegetables put between. Many of the regulation meat sandwiches are already combined with vegetables. With others a crisp, succulent salad of cabbage, apple, celery or beets is served to complete the meal. While, with still others a glass of milk, a hot beverage or a serving of hot vegetables makes a well-balanced combination. There are even hot vegetables sandwiches for those wishing a strictly vegetarian diet; and for those liking sweets a fruit dessert sandwich may be the real mainstay of the meal.

Some of the smart shops are showing scarfs of a soft wool material—very fine flannel in a favorite—dyed to match the hats actually. The hat and the scarf bear the same decoration, which is usually very small and either of soft shades of felt appliqued or glued on, or a wool embroidery. Some of the very smart ones show in these embroidered motifs an effective use of English angora yarn. The fuzzy effect which is possible to achieve with this yarn obviates any harsh line around the edge of the embroidery because the finished motif has a fur-like fuzz which softens the outline. Making Them at Home This is a fashion which may be successfully worked out by the home dressmaker, for little untrimmed hats of felt, in different shapes and of such soft felt that they can be modeled to suit the face, are for sale in every hat department and millinery shop. A third to a half yard of flannel matching exactly the color of the hat will make a scarf, for this flannel is very wide and is in fact sold in double width, sometimes reaching 54 inches. The little felt hats have unfinished edges, the frame showing no binding, as a rule, but merely a straight cut edge. Very often the scarfs are not homemade. Flannel does not fray easily, but if after wearing it begins to, a little trimming with the scissors will make it fresh looking again. Another means of finishing the ECONOMY Moderate in price—in use—one spoonful equals two of many other brands. Eliminates failure—pre- vents waste of baking materials.

Norfolk Loan Society, Inc. 307 Dickson Building PHONE: NORFOLK 2-18 4-6 NORFOLK, VIRGINIA New York, N. Y. - Tiger Flowers, a Georgia Deacon, who wields a wicked padded mit under the glaring lights of the squared circle—being peered at thru the blue gray dim haze of a mixed aromatic and ordorous blends of Havannas, corn cobs, french briars, and scores of cigarettes, by 20,000 wild and glassy-eyed followers of the fisticock—lifted the middleweight boxing crown from the weary brow of Harry Greb, Pittsburgh Windmill, et al, in a fifteen-round fistcuffing affair at Tex Rickard's new Madison Square Garden, last Friday night. Theodore Flowers, with two flying fists, milled his way to heights unattained, and the weight legitimized the pusher of the Negro race. After a career of many vicissitudes, and gaining a popular verdict over the former champion, some time back, Flowers, finally came thru to carn widespread laurels in the cauliflower industry. Carries the Fight With the sounding of the first gong which sent challenger and champion on their merry way, Flowers carried the fight to the Pittsburgh. Throughout the first, well up into the second, the Tiger was cutting loose with all the fury of his two-fisted attack, not letting up for one moment. Amid all of this, Harry Greb, who, once flashed a mean pair of padded knuckles made intermittent, but feeble efforts to thwart the onslaught. He connected several times, but the Georgia Deacon would strike back and smother his opponent with a renewed fullisade of rights and left to body and head. Every time Greb would get a good smack at the Tiger, the latter would come back with two or three. He never would let the champion assume the offensive. When Greb started on the offense, Flowers would make the pace too fast for him and the Windmill had to be content with flapping feebly in the passing breeze. At the close of the fourth round, the Tiger's valentless attack on the champion had the fight populace at the ringside in an uprune. So deafening was the dlin raised by the onlookers; the gladiators failed to hear the bell announcing the end of the round and they were fighting fiercely and the third man in the ring had to make them know the round was over. The fifth round, also found flowers the determined aggressor. Lefts and rights, were popping off the head and body of Grein with constant regularity, while he strove desperately to get in a crushing wallop at the fast stepping challenger. And throughout the fight, these men fought and fought, with the champion rallying occasionally, on the fence, having him at every turn. The many fast pumping into his mid-section and around the section his hat popes, was more than Greb could master and instead of Flowers fading in the Garden, a once excellent Windmill was grinding out its last screak and creak and the Flowers were blooming in all the glow and glamour afforded by its bombastic buds. There was a full in the fighting around the tenth round but Flowers continued to carry the scrap not allowing the champion to get set. What Others Say: New York Herald-Tribune: "The action appeared to slow up a trifle for the tenth, although Flowers continued to force the fighting and seldom permitted Greb to become the aggressor. Greb again tried hard to bring home his right, but he invariably was short with his mark, or when he did land it was little more than a glancing blow. The champion attempted to rush Flowers in the eleventh, but the challenger met him with a hard right to the jaw and the next moment Greb was again backing away with the Negro crowing him steadily. The champion made another gallant, stand in the twelfth and this time he did succeed in turning back the challenger. He drove Flowers to the ropes with a hard right to the jaw and continued to pound FIRST CHAMP TIGER FLOWERS, who defeated Harry Greb to become first Negro middleweight champion of the world and the first Negro champion since the days of Jack Johnson. vigorously, though the Negro quickly regained his poise and before the close of the round was giving as lustily as he was receiving. This round, however, seemed to spell the finish for the champion. He slowed up perceptibly in the ninth, but the fourth and fifth flowers, however held him with blows, and continued his attack right thru to the end of the fifteenth and last round. Chicago Daily News: The men who voted the decision to Flowers were Judges Charles F. Mathison and Thomas Flynn, Referee William (Gunboat) Smith, old heavyweight fighter, was the other state athletic commission representative with voting power on the bout, and he cast his ballot for Greb. There was no reason for this division of opinion, for Flowers easily outgrew Greb. It also makes the passing of Greb. At least, the Pittsburgh boxer left that impression on the great gathering of fans after a fight in which Greb was not the Greb of old, while Flowers was better in every essential than he ever has been. Davis J. Walsh, for I. N.: Some of the customers seemed to think Greb was short-changed, but that idea was all to the falso-tset. Flowers got the decision. He fought courageously if not a sensational fight, and out-secured Greb in the majority of the exchanges. It was more of an open bouquet than a prize fight, with clowning and rough stuff at a premium. Nothing was barred except hitting with flat-irons. Greb was the worst offender and also the worst fighter. He could not lick the flap of an envelope last night. He loses, it is customary to explain the phenomenon with a gill statement to the general effect that he has seen better days. Greb was dead on his feet to start the fight, coming out for the first round like a man has just been courteously tapped behind the car with an anvil. Flowers simply murdered him without a comeback the colored man had had a real match, we would have been treated to the spectacle of a famous champion being knocked out in the first round. Starting with the fourth, it seemed that Greb had fought himself out of whatever was the matter with him and he carried what fighting there was to Flowers with something of the old spirit. He took the fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth rounds clearly enough, but, somehow, the thing lacked conviction. He couldn't muster any part of his old dash. Flowers, meantime, had carried the fifth and ninth and never, was far behind the pace at any time. Greb came back to take the tenth and eleventh rounds, but this was his last gesture. Weary almost beyond endurance Greb was haffled all over the ring through the last three rounds and barely lasted to the wire under his own power.

ALL-STARS LOSE TO Y.M.C.A. J.&G. ALL-STARS LOSE TO Y.M.C.A. BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. Newport News, Va.—The Newport News Y downed the Guide League All-Star team in a fast game on the courts of 29-13. The game was played fast throughout, with the local team showing the greatest burst of speed. The "Y" grabbed the lead early in the fray and maintained it until the final whistle. The greatest scoring done by the Association team was in the first half. The picked squad was able to hold the home team to a few scattering points during the last half of the game. Robinson and Hull were bright lights for the Y. M. C. A. team, while Bibbins and Layton seemed to show the best for the All-Star Preliminary The game was preceded by a three round boxing match, in which Kid Wright, Norfolk, opposed Kid Kizer, Newport News. This was scheduled as a no decision affair, but the referee held up the hands of both contestants, indicating a draw, then went over and held up the hand of Kid Kizer, indicating that he had won the fight. This was a plain case of the fighter having his hand held most times was the winner. Kid Wright was voted the edge over his opponent. Voted, that was all, Kizer hit him with everything but the timekeeper's whistle. The first two rounds went about every third and final round the Newport waterlogged and he did not seem to know what it was all about. Near the end of the third spasm, Wright was sent for a trip to the canvas, which he gracefully took, but came up again without taking a count, only because the referee forgot to count when the floor came up and met Wright.

Hampton, Va.—The Norfolk Athletic Club, in its first out of town game, met defeat at the hands of the Union Street High School of Hampton, Tuesday night, by a score of 25-6. It was a fast game, with the Hampton boys setting the pace and the Norfolk team fighting desperately to offset the overwhelming victory, which the home team was steadily romping to. The high school boys have a well trained team, having the advantage of being in the best position and their experience aided them greatly in evading the Norfolk A. C. guards frequently. C. J. Johnson, of the Norfolk A. C., added the comedy touch to the affair by shooting in the reverse, in other words, shooting into the basket which he was supposed to have been defending. He made his shot with much grace and ease. The feature game followed in preliminary game between the Norfolk Y. W. C. A. girls' team and the Union Street sextette. The fray was won by the home team with a count of 17-1. The Norfolk girls were outclassed and were not able to keep pace with the Hamptonians. The line-up: Union St. (25) N. A. C. (6) Bibbins F.

C., February 26.—The New Gymnastium, Armory Building at Howard University for which the Government has appropriated $197,500 for the building and for the new stadium and athletic field, and in connection with which the University Trustees have expended an additional $39,693.28 was dedicated today at 3:30 p.m. Impressive exercises were held in connection with the dedication. The principal address was delivered by Honorable Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior. Greetings were extended by Honorable Louis C. Cramton, chairman of the Subcommittee of the House on Appropriations, which handles theterior Department appropriations, under which University comes. Doctor William Matheen President of George Washington University; and Doctor Pete Guildman, who spoke for Doctor E. A. Pace, of the Catholic University of America. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, President of Howard University, presided. In his "opening remarks, he said: "More and more are we realizing that a healthy mind in a healthy body and both dominated by a healthy soul, means life at its best. On such a foundation can be built the home, the church, the school, the state, all functioning together for training the truest type of citizen. Our American colleges and universities have long sensed this great truth. "This we have seemingly over-stressed the physical development; yet it is but seeming. The public talks much about our athletic games and contests, but the real training that helps every student, correcting physical wrongs and leading to soul health, is too little known. Unpunctual Not To Be Strong "With our facilities we have accomplished much; with new facilities, we shall change the life and thinking of the university. It will be unpunctual to be less than robust, active. It will be dislaborate to the new traditions of Howard for a young man or young woman to fail in physical rowness. New impetus will be given to intellectual attainments. It will be a new joy just to be alive. But when we all take this as a gift from God and challenge to the noblest living, then the coward, the mean man, dishonest or the unclean morally—all will be outcasts from the life of real men and women, genuine sons and daughters of Howard University." Congress Gives Initial Sum It was indicated in the historical statement with reference to the Gymnastium-Armory-Stadium- Athletic field project that the movement to secure such a plant was begun seventeen years ago, but only took definite form on July 1st 1923, when the initial sum of $40,000 was appropriated by Congress.

Columbus, Ohio, March 1. Decisively outplayed by the flashy Akron Krones during the entire first half. Columbus Hi-Y Club in the second half of a fairly interesting contest tonight exhibited just enough of its sterling brand of basketball to nose out the visitors in a driving finish. 18 to 15. Hi-Y Club in Columbus on Akron on January 30, but against the much improved opponents tonight Hi-Y seemed listless and stale. At no time did its game show any sustained and colorful attack and the defense of the locals was ordinary, except on occasional instances, when aided by the steadying influence of its leader, Key, the Hi-Y braced to hold off the advances of the visitors. The visitors on the other hand demonstrated a fine ability to feint and handle the ball skillfully; they passed better than the Hi-Y, showed considerably more pen, but they could not quite outscore the locals. Somehow Hi-Y will pull through, even on its off nights, and tonight it did just that. Unless the opposing team, however, has a clear claim to superiority, local rosters pass Hi-Y is invincible. FROM TIGER AND HIS L New York.—Of all those who middleweight crown from Harry C little grand nieces, Dorothy Lee a with him. They are his little favor with them. FROM PRESS By WILLEYA TIGER AND HIS LITTLE FAVORITES THE FATHER AND SONS New York. Of all those who had confidence of his taking the middleweight crown from Harry Grieb, Tiger Flowers favors his two little grand nieces, Dorothy Lee and Oreva Mae Troup, shown here with him. They are his little favorites and he spends much spare time with them. FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. THE NEW CHAMP AND HIS TITLE There are many ways in which a champion can maintain his acquired laurels. One is that method, by which Jack Dempsey holds his crown intact and the most impressive is, the meeting and heating of every legal contender. This year's campaigning will be rather rough for the champions according to some expert opinions. Challengers are arising from all sides and claiming the spotlight, but one thing most of the crown wearers have in their favor is experience. Most of them have It seems that Tiger Flowers, the newly crowned king of the middleweight boxers, has chosen the latter course, or rather the first part of the latter—meeting. According to Flowers, he has elected to lead a very active life and will be a fighting champion. Whether he will do this or not, remains to be borne out in time to come. Many title holders have said they would give every confection a chance. Talk like that is like the pre-campaign speeches of political office seekers. Of course, the Tiger's statements might be an exception. Anyhow, time will tell. One thing certain, he will have to defend his title once every six months or get himself in bad with the Commission. In spite of this, hat and other little things, the Deacon can, so maneuver his activities that he will be able to keep the title for some little time. He can demand Grob to go around the horn and fight back before getting another chance. Where Jack Delaney, his nemesis is concerned—well, he can make him make the weight and knock him for a loop. Delaney, the light heavyweight, is a socker of merit, about 18 karats and a bushel of potatoes, but Delaney, the middleweight will be minus much steam. He is virtually a light heavyweight and when he makes the weight for the class below, he will be greatly weakened. NEW CHAMP IS SOMEWHATPIOUS NEW CHAMP IS OHIO STATE FRAT SOMEWHATPIOUS WINS TITLE Flowers, who rose to the middle-weight pinnacle after an unusual series of experiences, credited his success to observance of careful training rules and strong reliance on religion. He says he makes a practice of reading three verses in the New Testament daily, and that he not only prays before each ring contest, but calls upon Scriptural lines to strengthen his courage while under fire in the ring. "Every round of the fight last night, I repeated to myself a part of the 14th Psalms. Pleased be the Lord, who strong, warth which cheeked him to war and my fingers to fight," said Flowers, who is a steward in the Butler Colored Methodist Church of Atlanta. Theodore Flowers was born on August 15, 1895, in Camille, Ga. He was introduced to pugilism in 1917 in the gymnasium of Jack O'Brown, at Philadelphia, but it was not until Walk Miller, owner of an Atlanta, Ga. gymnasium became interested in him in 1921, that Flowers began fighting in earnest. Greb, whose unexpected defeat was attributed in some measure to careless training, today said he had no complaint to make and that he would endeavor to get back in winning form for a return bout with Flowers. The new champion has been signed for a return match with the former title holder to be held in an outdoor affair sometime in May. Of course, the Boxing Commission rejected the challenge for a return go filed by the manager of Harry Greb and return his guaranty money. The Commission only requires champions to defend their titles once every six months. Greb's challenge came too early. International Newsreel. he had confidence of his taking-the Sreb, Tiger Flowers favors his two and Oreva Mac Troup, shown here sites and he spends much spare time THE BOX JOHNSON, JR. This year's campaigning will be rather rough for the champions according to some expert opinions. Challengers are arising from all sides and claiming the spotlight, but one thing most of the crown wearers have in their favor is experience. Most of them have enough of this to thwart the invasion of the youthful aspirants and hold them at bay for quite a spell. An Aid To Supremacy. Individual brilliancy can easily be attributed to individual ability, capability, qualifications and other attributes, while aggregated brilliancy and supremacy is attributed to the things mentioned, team play and length of time together, hence Morhouse's record on the basketball courts. Any athletes playing together five, six and seven years cannot help but aid a team in reigning supreme over a long period of time, defeating teams that only hold players from two to three years, sometimes four. Morhouse has not, such a fine record with all things considered, or no other team for that matter who permits men to perform over the time allotted by associations, in which sports is organized for the best interest of all parties concerned. Next year will tell the tale, when Morchouse's long term players have gone their merry way and practically a new aggregation will be in the making. The above only applies to school athletics. Where professionals and semi-professionals are concerned, the case is different, because all things are practically equal. One has little advantage over the other. OHIO STATE FRAT WINS TITLE By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Columbus, Ohio, March 1—Due solely to its indominable spirit and court wizardry when facing almost certain defeat, the representative team of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Kappa chapter, was able to turn back the powerful Ohio State Fiends in a play-off game tonight in the University gymnasium, thereby winning, for the first time in its history, the possession of the beautiful trophy emblematic of undisputed championship in the intramural basket league of Ohio State University. With both teams tied for first place because of suffering a single defeat apiece, the Fiends' defeat coming at the hands of the victors of tonight on February 12, it fell upon the chony shoulders of Alpha's now famous quintet to come through with the victory that would give a court title, unquestioned, to a Colored team. This it did, but only after one of the most gruelling contests and against obvious tremendous odds. Fighting from behind, Alphas were leading 12 to 8 at half time; overtaken by the Fiends and trailing 18 to 14 with only four minutes remaining in the last half, the Race lads unleashed the full fury of their brilliant attack to stage a stirring rally which won the game for them when, with forty seconds left, Bertard Ware, Xenia, Ohio, sank the field goal that gave Alpha Phi Alpha its victory, 19 to 18. Last. Thursday Alpha defeated Mansfield, 43 to 25. Mansfield Blue-jackets are scheduled for a game here on March 12. Scott, Murrell, and Goode led Alpha's scoring, and Avery shone in this line for Mansfield.

Every team of any one of the three states which has dared to contest this claim during the present season has been crowned the winner of this quintet which has been dubbed "St. A's Lightning Five".

Jackson, the veteran coach who has piloted St. A's through so many victories, is confident that his team would win out in such a contest. "Y" DROPS FIRST GAME AT HOME BY THOMAS W. YOUNG *Newport News, Vs., Feb. 23.*—For the first time in two years, the "Y" basketball team has been obliged to content itself with defended to night at the mercy of the invincible Morehouse quintet, 20-14. At the end of the initial half, the score is in favor of the Atlanta boys, but in favor of the told a different story. Marshalled by the peculiess L. Traylor, brother of A. Traylor, Maroon pivot man, the Georgians glided away and left the Newport News team fighting desperately in their accumulated dust. Although the Association boys took the lead, they were unable to maintain it. "King" Robinson tallied first when he received a pass but Sykes contributed a point for Morsheau on a free throw. Again Robinson counted with two foul shots, and Sykes let go another single counter to make the score 4,2. "Y." And so the story goes on up to the end of the period with Sykes and Traylor leading the Maroon attack, and "King" Robinson the local boys'. Referee: V. S.

Thrills and sensational playing featured the fray, with the Bluefield battlers overshading the Seminary boys team, department of the game. The contest last night was one of the hardest fought seen on the local court this season. For Bluefield Institute "Jazz" Brown was the star of the game, making six baskets in the first half and he was responsible for the commanding lead of the West Virginians at the end of the first half which was 17-10. Seminary played the big blue team close during the first period when Wheedbe, Seminary star, seemed to have the ability to sink the oval from all angles. The all-play of the Holleys was also instrumental for the lead that the Icels enjoyed. Brown, Hickman and the Holley boys occupied the limelight for the Bluefield Team and Wheedbe and Bates scintillated for the visitors. Line-up Bluefield—35 Seminary—18 Hickman F. Bates Buford F.

Feb. 26. —Tuskegee, flashing the best form it has shown in some time, won handily from Alabama State Normal at Basketball 34 to 21. Tuskegee took the lead at the end of the first half and held it through the game. The score was in the end of the first half stood 2-7 in the Tigers' favor.

HUBBARD DOES IT Before amazement over Hubbard's remarkable feat of equaling the world's record in the 65-yard dash could die away, the broad jump champion had shattered a time which has been good for eighteen years. He caught and all the contests ease and potential skill of a real champion. Hubbard slipped a fifth of a second from the original 7-second record. Again we ponder.

With this fall of the champion, Harry Gieb, Flowers, we believe, is the only holder of a world's boxing title in this colored race. A tip from this small frozen burg. Look out for Charles (Phil) Rosenburg. I'll say as much for Sugg's house hath A son named Chick on the warpath. THE C. L. A. LOOP Despite Hampton's domination over the rest of the C. I. A. A. or the basketball court, there are a lot of good things to be expected from those who are now the underdogs. Since the withdrawal of Howard and Lincoln from the Association the Seasiders march to supremacy has been comparatively easy. The other members of the league possess neither the material nor the facilities to cope with their sister rival, hence a third consecutive championship for Hampton. Not only are the seasiders superior collectively, but they reign individually. There were few players on other Association teams able to match the prowess of these skimates. However, there were highlights on these other teams who deserve recognition, and merit some sort of classification on a mythical five. It seems barely rational that Hampton should supply all five men for such a team, but the truth is the light, and here is the truth. "Shortly" Lambricht is indeed, diminutive, as his moniker might imply and he is one of the dearest shots in the league. His running mate, Alexander has no riot in all manner of restoring beneath pressure. He is also a good bet from the corners. Armstrong, of Shaw, and Reed, of Virginia Semi- COURIER FIVE LOSE TO DRUGS By P. Bernard Young, Jr. Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 24—A substitute who would not accept defeat until it should be a fact settled, he said, "The first whistle was an important reason why the noted Pittsburg Courier Big Five met defeat upon its first invasion of this city when it came out second best in a fierce second half struggle against the Tyler Drugs, who won 23 to 21. This substitute was some Tyeer, erstwhile relief forward. But tonight he inspired his teammates, thrilled one of the largest, if not the largest crowd of the season, and helped the opposing team rushed the firing in the fading minutes of the last period, he fought with withering intensity and raked the "Smoky City" team with a brief but telling fire of field goals, by virtue of which his green clad team NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE A. C. W ES LEAL CLUB al five, of Va. Seminary, which downed or second meeting. ern— TRAIL W. Young nary, make a logical second choice. Armstrong is fast and requires a speedy guard to quiet him, while the Dragon forward has an unfailing eye from a distance. In the pivot position, there is no room for conjecture, as Hargrove, of Hampton, is easily the most outsanding center in the C. I. A. a. with an enviable record behind him. He has been the big scoring gun for the last three years and a keen defensive ace. Gardner, of Union, deserves second place. The Panther nucleus makes valuable use of his height and scores timely shots. Wheedbee, of Seminary, might almost as easily deserve second team, but "Mel" some times fails to come under pressure. The guard births go to Captain Jones and "Cutie" Brown, of Hampton, by a wide margin. No two guardians have been near so scintillating as these two have been, and besides both are sure shots. Jackson, of Union, and Smith, of Virginia Normal, are the next best couplet; both fighters. ALL-C. I. A.

V TRIBOLE A record seldom equalled a d likely never passed has been made by "Cutie" Brown, superb guardman of the Seisiders. Brown has just completed his first year of activity, athletic or otherwise, at Hampton. He entered last fall, and cast his lot among the cagers for a forward position. At that time guards were few and forwards many, so "Cutie" was thrown in for protection for the first time in his career. Well, the newcomer served admirably, and when time came for election of a captain, "Cutie" was the choice to succeed Chester Jones who served two years as pilot. THE BASKETBALL WHIRL BECONES DUZY On March 10th, Morehouse, conqueror of the Southeast, meets Wilberforce, legal quint of the West in what takes on all aspects of a real championship affair.

It was almost a hopeless rally that Tyrece held the spotlight in. The visiting quintet, by its much improved and often dazzling play in the final stanza, evidently was holding itself much in reserve in first twenty minutes. The game during that was no up to the usual standard of Drugs, was not what fans expected of the Courier Five. But that last half! Trailing at half time, 12 to 7, Courier Five at the ending of the third quarter was ahead 19 to 14, due chiefly to better shooting, snappier passing, and more stubborn guarding. Courier Five presented a well balanced team, that once it found the range almost walked off with the game. In handling the ball and in passing they were better than the local team. Henry, with 9 points, led Courier's attack. SLAYER IN WOMAN'S GARB Athens... the slayer of a grand guard at the Ministry of, War to be a youth disguised as a woman. Alabama Noraml Scores Victory (By Associated Negro Press.) Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 26.—Saturday night the Alabama State Normal "Hornets" passed, dribbed, and shot until they had a victory of 50-23 over the quintet from Industrial High of Birmingham. The visitors presented a plucky but green team, which made the "Hornets" work for most of their points. The locals completely bewildered the visitors time after time with their fast accurate passing and smooth floor work. COMMUNITY 5 STILL LEADS GUIDE LEAGUE COMMUNITY 5 STILL LEADS GUIDE LEAGUE BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. The postponed Guide League basketball games were won by the Community Five, who opposed the Norfolk A. C., score 17-6, and the High School boys, who opposed the Collegians, score 24-17. The Norfolk Athletic Club showed more flash in this game with the league leaders than has been displayed in previous affairs and from the outset it looked as if the Community team would experience success and at half time it was only leading by two points, 7-5. However, the blue and white squad settled down to business and romped away with the big end of the score. Collegians Outpainted The Fighting Bookers lambasted the Collegian in the floor in the first half of their fray, but Captain Layton's boys came back in the last act to make a gallant stand and a strong bid for the victory. At every turn, though, a Booker was there to take the measure of a Collegian. Booker Washington led by a fairly wide margin most of the game and was caught the plink frequently. As the game ended, the angry mob of the Collegian, began connect and he sank the ball for four baskets before all was said and done. Golden is high point scorer for the Collegians, while Bibbins, captain of the High School team, took scoring honors on his team with two field goals and four free throws, a total of eight points. Poole and Wilkins shared high point scoring honors for the Community Athletic team each getting three goals for four points. Son was high point man for the Norfolk Athletic Club, caging two goals from the floor for four points. The attendance at the games was slightly under that of the first two games and it is believed that the nostronement had a tendency to knock the crowd off a trifle. It is expected that a capacity crowd will witness the games this Friday night, which is the regular league game with the Collegians will be Norfolk's first Club for the second time and the Community Flashy Five will take on Booker Washington in their second game of the series. Last Friday's games marked the close of the first half of the race and the Community Five is still leading the dash to championship honors. The second half of the series, beginning Friday night, March 5, will have to be won by some of the other three teams of the league in order to thrust the leaders out the race. From all indications, there will be hectic struggles from now until the close has been announced. All of the teams are showing signs of giving the fans a better special reference to the N. A. C., Collegians and the High School. These teams will make it hard for the league leaders, and will make a determined and concentrated effort to check Community. The in-use Community (17) N. A. C.

Feb. 27—The Maroon Tiger returned to his liar, after having conquered the East, and completely crushed Clevie Abbott's milk-fed kittens in a one-sided combat 44-32. The Tuskegee team proved to be a plucky bunch, but could not compete with the superior team work; and accuracy in shooting of the locals. He was a fitting finale to the services of M. C.'s three outstanding stars in basketball, who will be claimed by graduation in June. We refer to Sykes, who played seven years on the Morehouse Varsity basketball team and who was unanimous choice for all American guard for two years; G. Bailey, who has played 6 years on the Varsity and has been chosen the American guard two years; A. Traylor, the American guard two years of service but has an invariable reputation for tipping off and following up. These three gave the local fans a good exhibition of their skill in their final game with Sykes as high point man with 14; Trayor second with 13; and Bailey third with 12.

J., Feb. 22—Before a crowd of some two thousand people, the Howard University tossers showed the way to the Lincoln University boys of Pennsylvania to the tune of tine 21-22 on Washington's birthday, February 22nd, in the large Orange Armory. This game was sponsored by the Howard Aulumni Club of New Jersey and club donated a silver Joving cup with three legs to be won before absolute possession. It was a beautiful cup and will make a wonderful trophy for either school. Howard got the lead in the beginning of the game and never lost in after that time, altho Lincoln boys beat the score during the first he is 10. In the meantime Coach Burs' cohorts were going better and better as the game progressed. This was evident because he substituted an entire new team with Captain Lawton in the line-up. The second combination seemed to do even better than the first and ran up 16 point before the first whistle. Spears of Howard, was the high point man of the game by collecting four shots from the floor and two free throws. Line-up Howard—29 Lincoln—12 Lawton F. Sylvera Coates F. Cooper Spears C.

THREE WEEKS RALLY AT SPRINGFIELD BAPISTH The Springfield Baptist Church will hold a rally March 8, which will continue until March 29, and on the later date the corner stone of the church will be laid by the Masonic lodge. We are remodeling our church and the members and friends are putting forth every effort to beautify it and make it the rally interesting. The services last Sunday were fine and Rev. B. E. Costen is feeling very proud of the efforts the members are putting forth, and asks the sister churches to take an active part in the rally. Write an essay on "WHY YOU SHOULD PATRONIZE THE ATTUCKS THEATRE"----submit it to the Manager of the Attucks on or before April 1st. The best essays will be published in this newspaper. Prizes will be awarded FRIDAY, APRIL 2ND, AT THE ATTUCKS THEATRE. At The Attucks "The Splendid Crime," which comes to the Attucks Theatre next week for a two days' run, offers the rare combination of an unusually interesting story and a popular star. It was written as well as produced by William de Mille, the noted Paramount director, who turned author again after a lapse of several years, and serves as a starring vehicle for Bebe Daniels. As the title suggests, the plot has a crook theme, but Mr. de Mille is not the one it ited from a serious comic angle, so that the picture is a fifty-fifty affair, in which action and comedy vie with drama and suspense. This Paramount super production will appear as the headliner of the Attucks bill, beginning Monday and playing until Tuesday. Wednesday A bewitching crook who stole with her eyes—who intrigued with her silk-clad limbs! A delicious little she-devil of the underworld Trim—petite—suave—wist—ha rams nails—yet thrusting her head like a lily, through the black swamp with the smiffed woman Love! Faith! What mockery! Yet this girl came back—back to her boy—back to those things every girl holds dear. See this smashing tale of a girl's regeneration—with a flaming background of swift moving melodrama to chill and thrill you—such is the story of "Alias Mary Flyn," who even went to denture at Attucks Wednesday, including the regular 9 p.m. special, featuring the Five Virginia Rolling Stones. Thursday and Friday Paramount's magnificent screen entertainment, "The American Venus," which immortalizes the charms of America's most beautiful girls, is something more than a de luxe motion picture. It is an eye-dazzling specked, a gorgeous glimmer of glorifying film masterpiece, in which lavish and amazing scenic effects, luxurious settings and rich and wonderful costumes are used to cover the bright and lively plot with a harmony of color, grace, beauty and novelty, and this is the screen production scheduled for the Thursday and Friday bill. Esther Ralston plays the lead, supported by Ford Sterling, Lawrence Gray, Lamphier (Bliss America) and a team of Atlantic City beauties. Saturday Contrary to the generally accepted theory, Dr. Samuel Johnson famous as the dictator of English letters in the eighteenth century, was a natural writer for the movies! And to prove it comes "The Mysterious Stranger," a frank adaptation by James Bell Smith of such parts of Dr. Johnson's old work. The History of Russelas, of Agluspatia," he created to use. The not results of this strange combination of an ancient classic and modern scenario is as delightful a motion picture as has been seen in a long time. Richard Talmadge is starred in this distinctive and unusual F. B. O. production, and it proves a panic of merriment, thrills and true entertainment from start to finish. It is not "typical" Talmadge stuff, but it is great material, and it gives the star all the chances that even a Dick Talmadge might desire to play. The comedy sequences have been particularly well developed by Director Jack Nelson, and a fine cast helps put this production over. This big picture will be shown Saturday with the regular special matinee for the children, at which time candy confection will be given away free. At The Weils Louis B. Mayer presents Marshall Neilan's uproaring success based on his own story, "Mike." This picture features the new wonder girl, Sally O'Neil supported by Chas. Murray, William Haines, Ford Sterling and is a Metro-goldwyn production. In addition, there will be the regular Pathe comedy and International News. This picture runs for the entire week. At The Colonial Lola Arlene and Seals is one of the big acts that headline the Colonial's bill the first half of next week. This is a diving and trained animal act, in which a rare novelty is presented. There will be a real tank of water on the stage, makes this act a real one. Kee, black face comedian present, wonderful line of comedy and clever act, another act on a same bill. Kee, wonderful voice and delights all of his audiences. There are three other big acts for the first half. The latter half, beginning Thursday will be featured by Moonlight in Colony, "a bright comedy skit with many laughs attached." Alice Morley is a variety of good singing and dancing, does her bit PRICALS STAGE to enliven the bill. Holmes and Sleeves presents "Coughland," an eccentric piece of hokum and comedy that produces many sidesplitting guffaws. There are two other good pieces on the card for the final half that carries a varied offering. ATTUCKS HAS BIG OFFERING ATTUCKS HAS BIG OFFERING BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON. JR. Heretofore, the management of the Attucks Theatre has been handicapped in securing the biggest and best consistently for the patrons. Big and important plays have been shown spasmodically, but not necessarily, and deny to fucubate, but now, those who attend the theatre are assured the best and biggest pictures obtainable. The Attucks has been successful in securing the entire output of the United Artists pictures and this insures a larger variety of the best pictures made. The United Artists is famous for such classics as these, Douglas Fairbanks in "Don Q," The Thief of Bagdad, "Mary Pickford in" "Sally of the Sawdust," "Amni Rooney, in" "Jack Pickford in" "Hill Billy," "Ruralho Valentino in" "The Eagle," William S. Hart's latest and greatest picture, "Tumble Weed," and "The Bat," the world's mystery story yet in the making. An option has been secured on the First National output and some of the screen spectacles to be seen together with those mentioned above are, "The Lost World," "Que Vadis," "Sundown," "Graustark and "Winds of Chance." The Attucks' achievement affords an abundant supply of the world's best cinema productions. ESSAY CONTEST IS GOING STRONG ESSAY CONTEST IS GOING STRONG BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON. JR. The gold prize essay contest, "Why You Should Patronize the Attucks Theatre is assuming definite shape as scores of contestants continue to shower the local office with their contributions. Many interesting things are being presented, they should priorize the local仰影展 and all them are flattering in their praise of the Attucks. Winers on the March subject will be announced very soon. The comforts of the theatre which give to the women and child- ren many conveniences are beyond estimable value to the public, which is accorded full opportunity to enjoy. In some of the letters sent in by the contestants in the essay contest, many praise is given Paramount Pictures' preparation and it is conceded the best. The subject for the next month will be announced in an early issue of the Guides. DIES FROM SOOT Kinston, N. C.—Reports reaching this city in explanation of its death of Alexander Cox, who a body recently was brought here for burial from Bordentown, N. J. state that Cox had died from being smothered by soot from an oil stove or asphyxiated from gas fumes. Cox was found dead by a man who entered the house where the former judged and found everything covered with a mantle of black substance that developed to a thick layer of gas used to heat the building. The Bordentown coroner took charge of the body. A brother accompanied it here. JOHN H. HARRIS The above is the likeness of Mr. Joseph Malbon, founder of the Sons of Norfolk Beneficial Association, who several years ago on Church street, in company with four other men suggested the idea of organizing a club of Norfolk born men; that the name of good old Norfolk might be perpetuated in the hearts of its native born boys and their pregnancy. How well his thoughts have grown easily can be seen in the growth of the association from a club to a fraternal and beneficial association with its home office in Norfolk and with a capital running nearly into five figures, and with subordinate lodges in several of the large cities of the country, also ladies auxiliaries of like proportions. As a token of esteem in which it holds its founder, the lodge in its session of February 7, presented him a handsome engraved medallion, which you can see, he appreciates so well that it is worn where it can be seen. Father Malbon, in further consideration of his work for the Norfolk boys, retired from office of the lodge of the lodge which he has held for 11 years, being absent from but four meetings during that time, and placed on the retired list with a free life membership in the lodge. —James E. Smith. Big Bankrupt Sale At Zfass and Hymans' The entire stock of Zfass and Hyman, 583 Church street opposite St. Vincent's Hospital, will be offered to the public in a bankrupt sale, starting Friday morning, March 5, at 10 o'clock. This lot of fine merchandise will be sold regardless of cost, after which this well-known and o reliable firm will reorganize under the same name with Mn. Zfass and Mr. Hyman as heads of the firm, giving the same polite and courteous service to their patrons, whose patronage the firm earns solely. For a number of years Zfass and Hyman have done business on Church Street, for a time they have earned a reputation for square dealing and for handling only merchandise of quality selling on dignified deferred payment terms. In the bankrupt sale will go children's and ladies' clothing, men's and boys' suits, all priced at figures unharded of for such values except in forced sales such as this. Thrifty mothers and other shoppers will save by visiting the store during this sale.

WILLING WORKERS COLONIAL "A Man's Judgment Is No Better Than his Information" ARD TIMES A BLESSING alty therefor. $2,000 per month is too large a sum for our group to waste. The Curse of the Installment Plan Another gross waste among our people comes from the 'charge it' habit. It is so easy to get goods by the use of these magic words, but so hard to pay off afterwards. There are some purchases that necessarily must be made on the installment plan, such as houses, lots, furniture, and in some cases, food. The grave danger comes from buying luxuries such as unnecessary clothing, jewelry, musical instruments and the like. Some of our most elaborately dressed, jeweldebedded men and women, have no visible means of support and are living in a two or three room flat with a fine $800 player piano in the front room. They are slaves of the 'dollar down and a dollar the rest of your life plan.' They very seldom join the responsible group of home-owning Negro citizenry. The installment habit, when used for non-necessities is a curse; the articles sometimes costing 100% more than they would on the cash basis. Turn Waste into Capital If the Negroes of Tidewater would religiously live within their incomes; would systematically save a part of everything they earn; other bills, wherever possible; on their water, gas, electric and other bills, wherever possible; would abolish the installment habit, they will be in better position to pool their money and back their own enterprises. It takes capital to run business, and before capital can be created, wealth must be saved. However great the amount of money we make as a race, if it is not spent wisely, and some of it saved, we cannot apply it in reproductive processes—the establishment of new business. Negro business must be fostered and encouraged if the race is to survive. Business Briefs The Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company is installing a first class electric elevator in its bank and office building, corner Church St. and Brambleton Ave. This elevator will serve the three floors of the building and will be run by a girl. This additional service feature in keeping with the power of the building will make possible service to its customers and office tenants. The building is about four years old—a beautiful, imposing structure representing an investment of Negro dollars in the neighborhood of a quarter million.

Many of Tidewater are learning to just that, they are learning to take the true meaning of EXPIRIT. Still there is great room for improvement. As a race, we can save substantial amounts by careful planning and forethought. Take my instance, the very simple thing of paying your gas and electric bills. Negroes of Norfolk, in the sections called Huntersville and Woodland alone, pay over $2,000 per month to the Virginia Electric Power Co. because they do not like advantage of their discounts, your bill this month, say, is $2.00. If you pay it before a certain specified date, $1.80 will pay it.

The Casselle Funeral Home is supposed to be the finest institution of it's kind owned and operated by a Negro in the world. It has a beautiful electric pipe organ and several electric pianos in it's wonderful foyer. It is so constructed that a half dozen funerals may be conducted under it's roof at one time. Negroes are criticised for being lazy. Yet as a race, judged on a basis of population, we have more workers, in our group than any other people in America. In the industrial world, Negroes are hired when no whites can be found, and are paid less than whites would receive for the same grade of work. Consequently, we are the first to feel hard times and the last to know prosperity. There is not a single grocery store conducted by one of our group in the entire High School or Brambleton sections. A wide awake, progressive man or woman, who would open a first-class, well stocked grocery business, and honest, courteous service in that section would be doing the community a service and make some money besides. Chicago has a Negro judge—Judge Albert George of the Municipal Court. He is well liked by all and is making good. Mr. Chas. L. Johnson of Springfield, O. has just begun operation of a Furnal Supply House in that city. This concern, a unique one in our race, furnishes funeral supplies and products to undertaking establishments all over the country. Question: What is meant by the terms, 2% 10 days; 30 days net.-Grocer. Answer: This quotation usually found on the invoice or bill for a lot of goods means that the selling firm will allow the buyer a discount of 2% off the bill if it is paid in ten days; otherwise the buyer must pay the net or full price within thirty days. For example, if your goods cost $100, a payment within ten days would permit you a 2% discount or $2; but after ten days you must pay the full amount or $100. Q. What is the 'meaning of "entity" as applied to real estate?— Acee in that sense means that part of the value of a piece of property that you own in your own right. For instance, if you are buying a piece of property valued at $4,000, upon which you still owe $2,000, your equity in that property is $1,000. Q. What is the best kind of insurance policy for a young married man to carry?—Newly-wed. A. The Twenty-payment life policy is the most profitable insurance for a young married man to carry.

That organization is vital to all kinds of human endeavor, no one can deny. Yet when it comes to Negro business, in a city of a colored population of 65,000 like Norfolk, we find not even the slightest pretext of organization. The advantages are numerous and obvious. For instance, if the Negro grocers hold regular meetings and worked out a regular plan of action, is there a single colored grocer who lacks vision to the extent that he would refuse to join? An association would not only be a means of protecting each other against the many ills common to grocers, but would be a source of ideas, inspiration and better methods for all its members. What is true of the merchants, holds good with the confectioners, barbers, hairdressers, tailors, undertakers, real estate agents, insurance men, printers, sheeamakers—all kinds of businesses and professions would profit by group organization. Not only should the individuals guilds or groups organize, but there should be organization in Negro Norfolk an organization of the general scope of the white Chamber of Commerce; an organization that would encourage and promote all forms of Negro business, including this. This organization would be on the lookout for opportunities for Negroes to open new concerns under the most favorable conditions. And now, without discussing why we have no such organizations, without casting blame and reflection on certain men for not forming them sooner, without living in the past by unearthing skeletons of organizations that were formed years ago, without any excuses, without any delays, let the Negro business interests of Norfolk come together at once and begin these group and main organizations NEW for future and that of the race in Norfolk demands that Negro business ORGANIZE. the most modern type, with all the approved safety devices.

Within a period of only a little more than a little more have built up industry with an annual turnover of millions of dollars. It has been demonstrated in this phase of business that the Race, afforded equal opportunity, possesses rare executive ability and business judgment. Today taxicab companies, owned and operated by Negroes, are enjoying a volume of patronage in Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, and other metropolitan centers, as well as in many smaller communities. To cite a typical example of this business prosperity, the following is quoted in a personal letter written by Walter H. Lee, President of the "Your Cab Company" of Chicago, III: "We operate a fleet of seventy-two (72) cabs. We have five substations. We employ 250 workers in all departments of our business. Our cabs hook an average of $1,000 per day. We have just bounced for the city, the neighborhood of $75,000."

NEGRO BANK DIRECTORS Police Commissioner McLaughlin, in speaking before the National Urban League, at a recent meeting in Brooklyn, is quoted as having said: "White State Superintendent of Banks, I found it necessary to look at children on the streets in negotiations to Negroes to open banks in New York City, because there were too many professional men on the Board of Directors and not enough business men of standing." MERGING OUR INSURANCE CO.'S A man who is a close student of the economic and financial activities of the Negro, and who is especially well informed concerning the insurance business, observing the almost frantic efforts of the representatant s of the various old companies to get a foothold in the various states, made the following comment: It would seem that sound business sense, coupled with a grasp of the economic trend of the time, would impel the leaders in the Negro life insurance field to seek to consolidate into a large company of several more competitively small companies now catering to that business. To do so would result in the reduction of overhead; make possible a more intensive development of the territory; facilitate the con- 651 Bramblett Avenue (In, Bramblett, Wheaton, Garden) REID and DAIL.

BUSINESS TALKS By C. E. ARMSTRONG EXPLANATION AND INVESTMENT There is hardly a word in the financial vocabulary that is so much misused and abused as the word INVESTMENT. Every stock selling scheme, every thing having to do with the raising of funds, some of which haven't a ghost of a chance to succeed, and are only a means of separating a gullible public from their monies, are foisted upon the public as an INVESTMENT. Roughly speaking, there is an element of speculation and risk in the most stable and well managed concern. Through this period all concerns must pass beaten as an INVESTMENT? In the only their senior students in the form of the bonds and notes which are accorded an investment rating. It is quite true that new enterprises must be launched every year to take the place of enterprises failing almost daily, and funds must be raised for the financing of these projects, but these enterprises are because of their newness, for men of means who can afford to allow their funds to remain with the enterprise until it has begun to earn its way. Numerous enterprises have failed because of the availance of stockholders, and the men who choose to make their promises by paying dividends out of Capital. Every enterprise must pass through a period of promotion; the length of this promotion is largely dependent upon the brains and capital back of the enterprise.

The debate will be held at the St. John's A. M. E. church at the attendance at the last debate staged at the First Baptist Church some weeks ago is any standard, then late comers will find it difficult even to obtain standing room this Thursday night. At the last debate the crowd came over pouring rain. The spirit of rivalry was high, and more than a hundred dollars was realized between the churches. Three colored tickets are being sold, each participating church having its own tickets. All the debaters say they are in good trim and expect to be able to convince their hearers as to the truth of their contentions. Rev. J. R. Askew, the great evangelist, will preach Sunday, March 7. 11 a. m. at Mt. Zion church, Monroe and Tyler Sts, subject, "Come out of the Rain." Solos and other vocal selections will be rendered by Prof. W. A. Young and company. The public is cordially invited. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Berkley Ave. After the choir very touchingly sang "He Leadeth Me," the pastor read the 26th Ps., 8 vs. He then announced his subject, which was real food for the soul—"Did Anybody Lie?" He described the meaning of habitation of God's house and His honor very clearly. He said in part that if we were truthful in answer to 26th psalm we must wash our hands from every sin for How would come and dwell with us until we were fit. The doors of the church were opened by Rev. Alston who sang, "I Sing Because I'm Happy." FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Sunrise prayer meeting was very interesting Sunday morning. The old regulars refuse to let anything dampen their ardour. The crowds assembled at the usual hour for the morning service and Rev. R. H. Bowling, the natural-born reasoner, delivered one of the greatest sermons of his life—subject, "The Day of Divine Favor," Psalms 118:24. The vast audience was visibly moved. Following this service the funeral of Brother Lucius Costan, a very faithful member, one who served as usher of the church for a long term of years, was largely attended. Rev. Bowling described very touchingly a well spent life. At night an appreciative audience was present and listened with profusion with thoughtful sermon by Rev. F. W. Jacobs, subject, "A Vision," Isaiah 61:1. This was the Nineteenth Anniversary of the Know Nothing Club. The Sunday School is being rejuvenated and all the new workers are on the job putting over a real helpful program. The B. Y. P. U. is a live wire, Interest and attendance are on the continued increase. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH The early morning prayer meeting was well attended on Sunday morning last. Rev. V. V. K. Stokes, the pastor, preached at the morning service on the subject "Zion's Travelers," in Jehovah's Witnesses during unrest on the congrega- nified deep interest in the discourse. Several visitors were present from Baltimore to hear the pastor. The Sunday school is at its height of progress and each teacher and pupil is trying to convey new thoughts and gain new members in each department of the school. The Young People's Union met at its usual hour, and the little ones rendered an excellent program, in which none participated but the small boys and girls. At 8 p. m. the pastor preached from the subject, "The Church, the Garden of the Lord," Jeremiah 31:12. The pastor emphasized who are the fruit bearers for Christ, and the people are known by the fruit they bring forth. Miss Francis Oarkins, only woman member of the New York State Industrial Board, has been made its chairman. Not Authorized To Use Name Sons of Norfolk Quartette Not Authorized To Use Name Sons of Norfolk Quartette There has been advertised profusely by some parties, who are probably doing it for financial benefits a quartette contest between the Sons of Norfolk Quartette and some other quartette to be held on March 8. The Sons of Norfolk Fraternal and Beneficial Association takes this means to notify the public that no such quartette has been authorized by the lodge to appear before the public under the name of the Sons of Norfolk Quartette, and the use of the name by these singers is an enclosure upon the rights of the above-named association. We are asking that the party or parties using this name will in the future, to save legal entanglements, desist in further use of the name Sons of Norfolk Quartette.

BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH The third Sunday in February was a day that will long linger in the memory of the members of Bethlehem Baptist Church. The day was full of spiritual fervor, beginning with the Sunday school. Rev. N. B. Brown, D. D., the pastor has been preaching unusually eloquent and fervid sermons of late, and on the occasion mentioned he appeared to have bene at his best. In his sermon he spoke on the words, "Driving Away the Birds." In the afternoon meeting guests held and was well attended.

Having recently written his will, he feels that there are certain provisions the public should know about in advance of his death. He says that at any rate he ought to be considered an authority on this funeral question since he preaches about as many funerals as any pastor in the city. Just recently has been averaging their annual week's week, during the past eleven years he has averaged nearly fifty a year. Other sermons based on his will may be looked for to follow this one, says, Rev. Bowling. The special subject for this Sunday night will be "The Arrangements for My Funeral." NT LEBANON BAPTIST The members and friends came to church in large members on last Sunday. The day's services began with the early morning prayer meeting which was very good.

SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH The services last Sunday at the Second Calvary Baptist Church were all that could be hoped for. The Lord was in His Holy Temple. The combining of the Sunday school and church has brought new life in the entire membership and the Holy Spirit is to bring to the unwashed into the fold. Last Sunday at 6:30 a goodly number was present at the prayer meeting and the Holy Spirit moved upon every heart. At 10.15 a. m., the superintendent, G. C.

BUSINESS MEN'S NIGHT AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH A most interesting service was held at First Baptist Church at 7:30 p. m., February 28. The pastor, Rev. M. C. Allen, had planned the services for the Business and Professional men and women, of Franklin and vicinity. The service was well attended and proved to be most helpful in Christianizing sentiment among the colored people of this community for better co-operation with each other in business. Mr. P. B. Young, editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, had been invited to deliver an address. He was present and brought a most helpful message, which inspired all present. Mr. J. A. Rogers, author of "From Superman to Man", and Mr. J. T. Tanner, a real estate dealer, who has a branch office in this city, were also present and delivered addresses. Dr. F. N. Harris, local physician, delivered a strong address. "Work for the Night Is Coming," was the opening song, Rev. Allen read the First Psalm and offered prayer. "Great Day t he Righteous Ate Marching," was sung by the audience. Other musical features were a quartette by Mmes. Hattie Vaughans and Beulah Walden, Messrs. R. L. Porter and James Harrison; quintette, Messrs. Morris, Pitchford, Freeman, Kee and Myrick; solo, Mrs. Rosa Bibbins and a cornet Mr. mrn. Bentley Ethar Hall, who was the musical director and the music was furnished by the business and professional local talent. The pastor, Rev. M. C. Allen, preached from the theme: "T h e Negro's Thrift Policy Un-Christian." The choir stand was filled with business and professional men and women. TOPRESENT PLAY IN OGDEN HALL TOPRESENT PLAY IN OGDEN HALL The Sophoclean Dramatic Club of Hampton Institute will present in Ogden Hall Saturday, March 13, 1928, at 7:45 p. m., two one-act plays, "Love in a French Kitchen," and "Beauty and the Jacobin," by Booth Tarkington. "Love in a French Kitchen," a short medieval fable translated by Colin C. Clements and John M. Saunders, will be presented last. The play tells of Jacqueline, who was jailed and subjected to the mental household duties by his domineering wife. The situation is made more complicated by the proverbially impossible mother-in-law. How Jacquinn finally becomes the master of his home is as much a surprise to the audience as it is to himself. TELL ROGERS SCHEME Negro is deported. Powell's question was timely. It made me wonder in face of present treatment how the governments of the several states and even the Federal government itself, would take it, if Negroes so-called showed more manly pride. One thing I felt sure that professional white men like these wouldn't find such easy sledding. I replied to the effect that the entire training of the so-called Ne- --- MRS. MARY ASH Agent and Correspondent NOTICE (Continued from Page One) gro was to make him an American citizen just as the white child. That gods, heroes and flags, of both were the same; that in the matter of paying taxes, and national duty such as service in time of war the so-called Negro was a full-fledged citizen. That short史 that made for the white man's benefit the Negro was an American but that in those things that made for his own benefit he was only a Negro. He earned his money to help his book by traveling about world, working and lecturing in book, "White America," sponsored by three Northern three Southern men. They giving provided funds to get on Congressional addition. Cox's theory is that all the civilizations of the world, the Crusaders included, were originated by a white man. I once heard a slave for fully three hours meeting in Chicago how the was originated by Negroes that Shakespeare, Beethoven that was Caesar, Alexander the Great that was great Peasants, were Negroes. There is so a Nordic theory, with that all these civilizations originated by the blondes of an emeurope. Prof. Henry Falk Osborne of the Museum of Nazi History claims all the great war this world for the Nordics. I once saw in a lunatic asylum Negro inmates both claiming they were Jesus Christ. Cox's position, if asked to accept the lunatics, would likely call the megalomaniacs, or sufferers in excessive conceit. Segregation Laws "You and other, other men," I said to Cox two days later, "have a perfect right to keep yourselves to your selves; and to agitate for same. You all have a right to think yourselves superior to Negroes but no right to treat them unjustly. The Negro has at least as hard a time earning his dollar as has the white man. Under segregation, however, as exists, in the South, the Negro gets less for his dollar than the white man. Who what what the Negro has lost? Segregation laws are designed expressly for the benefit of their makers." Both men declared that they stand absolutely for equal justice to both "races" and are working hard to bring it about. The so-called race integrity is really a law to keep humanings from being too friendly; american citizens are being cordial one with another to the exploiters of labor, black or white. Legislation of this sort based upon such fundamental norance of the eternal law of man nature, that like all such pidity it is bound to defeat its ends. The thing I had been eagerly waiting to hear finally came up for discussion. I wanted to know how they re-acted to the fact brought out by the discussion of the so-called race integrity bill that some twenty thousand of the leading families of Virginia were colored. Cox brought it up, treating the whole thing as a very good joke "What do you think little comedy in the legislature" he asked laughingly. To Powell, the zealot, it was no laughing matter, Cox went on to tell how very mixed with Negro were some of the Indians, whom the legislature in view of the recent disclosures, wanted to class as w h i t e. These mixed Indians, he said, had the highest contempt for Negroes, who, in turn disliked them. This is why I wouldn't straw to hinder Messer. Cox, Ker and Powell. They are pro-what we, colored folk, have asserted, namely, that the part of the South are so mixed perhaps only God Almighty who is of white and who is of gro ancestry, thereby break down ancestry, thereby be in need of erect. Indeed, if I would finance them in their to prove who is white and who colored. That, indeed, would the quickest way to get rid them for their own people wob them in time. "Stop off at West Point," they said. "and ask any Negro there what he thinks of those Indians." Illicit Relations A Crime Both say they are working hard to make illicit sex relations between the so-called races a crime but that the legislators didn't seem so keen for that bill. Powell. I also learnt has been spreading the propaganda through all the other legislatures where he has given lessons. Both men are also hard at work, fostering jim-crow legislation in Northern States, particularly Ohio. They bear the inter-racialists, the N. A. A. C. P. and the Negro press no particular good-will. Thus, I say, more power to the gentlemen. They are the case our friend. The racial unit, which this nation is composed, well as all the world are working standing, peace, and love, and the men are but reverse parts of machinery. These men but vide the amount of friction sary to progress. Bishop Will Montgomery Brown, Thomas Willon, and other famous Negro-behave been converted. These men will, in time see, be even the wrath of His enemies serve Him." Cox seems to have no particular love for the Virginian aristocrats either. I thought I found the clue in the introduction of his book where he said he applied for funds to push his propaganda in the earlier days and was refused. All, he received then were good wishes. Next week I shall give a view of what is perhaps its most amazing revelations race-mixing ever made.

A result of this city who was closely allied with the late Henry Associed Negro Press that it he wrote of a fact that Johnson with his stuart republicanism, was sick at heart at the continued disappointments in Republican attentions—or lack of them—and doubted not, had Johnson lived, would have this year, and for independent politics, can be stated with unquestioned confidence ninety-one per cent of the Negroes of America feel about as it is claimed Col. Johnson felt on this matter, but one can be found bold enough to make public declaration. The Associated Negro Press has made a careful study of political conditions in a national way. "How the Republican party can ask us go before the people and please would like it," declared one of the men this service who helped to manhandle the 1924 election. There have been no net gains in political progress, so far as the negro is concerned, in the last five years under Republican rule. If anything, there has been some loss. This would infer that even under the administration of President Wilson, Democrat and unsympathetic, Negroes of America fared better than under Republican rule. In some respects this is true. While there were no presidential appointments, during the World War, and afterwards, the Negro in industry and army service made distinct gains, much of which he is yet enjoying, the Negro gains, as migration from the South around the South to wake from a long slumber of indifference, and today in the Democratic South, the negro is getting more sympathetic cooperation in development—though deprived yet of the vote—in many sections of the nation, where he has the right of vote.

The information was given by Joseph Bibb, editor of the Chicago Whip, against whom Mr. Owen's articles have been directed. Over the telephone, Mr. Bibb added that the Bibb-MacNeal Publishing company had preferred charges against Randolph and Owen, who has been issued for their arrest Tuesday morning.

Meet New York, Feb 26—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received a report from Robert W. Bagnall, its director of Branches, concerning a meeting he addressed in Akron, Ohio, attended by a group of ku klux klansman. Mr. Bagnall reports as follows: When we got to the church (colored Baptist) there we found a boy 250 hard-looking whites sitting compactly together in a group, and about 25 colored people sitting on one side. Afterwards increased to about 70 and 4 or 5 colored people came in and sat in the midst of the white group. When a soloist sang very credibly the whites applaud not a but sat grim and ugly. When the collection was taken, they gave nothing, not a penny. It was clear that our visitors—the majority of our audience—was a unit of the skin. This we found out positive-afterwards. It was up to me to tell them what they needed and believe me I did." I Mr. Bagnall then reports what he told the kluxes, which included颁 remarks on the fallacy of race "superiority" the facts concerning segregation; the Negro's determination not to tolgate or accept anything less than was guaranteed him by the Constitution and the laws of the land; the absurdity of claims about "race purity." During his address, Mr. Bagnall reports that "they twisted and armed and gazed at each other, but stuck through the meeting,ley then asked for members Maryland, for example who have manifested more individual interest in Negro welfare than many Republican Senators, some of whom are up for re-election. There are some Republican Senators, under pressure, who have done some favorable things, but there are few Republican Senators in the Senate today who have "the patriotic deeds of the American Negro unfinching justice. This information is written after close scrutiny facing a period of five years. Feeling Bewildered and Bitter What the Negro voters will do, none can say. There is bewilderment among leaders and masses, and there is even bitterness. The facts may as well come out now, as later, or be talked about among themselves. Bitterness is the result of humiliation, and humiliation is the result of nothing accomplished. The late President Harding started the bitterness, for his failure to measure up to his public and private promises; this bitterness subsided a bit during the early portion of the Coolidge regime. But it is doubling back. Singularly, it directed at President Coolidge nearly a year before Republican party at large. Ninety per cent of the Negroes of America believe in the sincerity of purpose of President Coolidge. They would like to see him more aggressive, but they do not regard him as a hypocrit. There is that much of gain, for the President. Nevertheless, Negroes reason that appointments there have been miserably, few. Republicans take their position behind Wilson appointed Democrats who in their aggressive political tricks, will stop at nothing to embarrass Republican governors a Republican presidential Racial newspapers, unanimously endorse the appointment of James A. Cobb, to succeed the late Judge Terrell of Municipal Judge in Washington; but they take the position, quite generally that "this is nothing to crow about too much," and "must not be regarded by the President as sufficiently happy forever," make us politically out that Cobb's appointment is net gain," but a mere retention of place. May Switch Elks Meeting Place (By Associated Negro Press.) New Orleans, La., Mar. 4—J. Finley Wilson of Washington, D.C., grand exalted ruler of the L B. P. O. E., is in the city discussing with the officers of the local Elks the advisability of bringing the national convention of the order to this city in August. The 1925 convention held in Richmond, Virginia, was welcomed by the mayor and governor, together with distinguished citizens. Previous conventions have been held in the North, but not until this order met in the South were the delegates given the courtesy of being welcomed by the chief executives of the city and state. The convention will bring ten thousand delegates and visitors to New Orleans should the local lodge be successful in obtaining the meet.

Effect on Public Mind It has been the occasion of No. 4 April, 2014. As an indication of the effect on the public mind of Boston an editorial appeared in the Boston Herald, Wednesday, February 24, on the subject "The Boston Negro in Industry" which read in part as follows: "We are told that an actual survey disclosed the employment of Negroes in 124 Boston Industries, with only one coloured employee in each of twenty-one establishments, less than five in forty-eight, less than ten in sixty-eight, less than twenty in eighty-one. Also that no Negroes at all were found Rev. Charles Sa On The Negro By WM. H. FERNIS, A. M. Author of The African Abroad and Literary Editor of The Smokegman. Rev. Dr. Charles Satchlec Morris, dean of the Theological Seminary, at Lynchburg, Va., was the principal speaker at the Lincoln-Douglass Birthday celebrations held on Friday evening, February 12th, in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, of Washington, D. C. From the ante-bellum days when Charles Lenox Remonds, Frederick Douglass, William Howard Day and Alexander Crummell electrified audiences in England and America up to the present, the Negro race has produced a brilliant group of orators. I have heard four colored orators of late: Dr. M. C. B. Mason, corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Education Society; Hon. Archibald H Grimke, former U. S. a. consul to Santo Domingo, author of the Lives of William Lloyd Garrison and Charles Sumner, former president of WWI, author of the N. A. A. C. P. and winner of the Spingarm Medal; Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church and Dr. Charles Satchlec Morris, dean of the Theological Seminary in Lynchburg, Va., who have produced masterpieces. Dr. Mason's lectures on "Africa in America," and "Beyond the Seas," and "Waterloo," Hon. Archibald H. Grimke's address in Boston upon the Lynching of Sam Hose and his address before the constitution-making convention of 1908, Bishop Ransom's Garrison Centennial Address, and Address on John Brown at Harper's Ferry and Dr. Morris' address on "The Negro as a Soldier," "The Negro in Politics," and "Frederick Douglass," reached the high water mark. Electrified Audience They not only electrified the audience which heard them but read well in print. Each of the eight addresses had a background of scholarship, had an undercurrent of unanswerable logic running through it, was characterized by elegant diction and rose to brilliant climaxes. Dr. Morris has three things which a perfect orator must possess: a sense of manner. He is well built, slightly above medium height, with a face in which kindness and firmness are expressed, rising to a broad noble brow. He has a rich, musical, pleasing conversational voice which can, in impassioned outbursts, speak in trumpet tones. He enunciates clearly and distinctly and his movements on the platform and his manner of speaking are characterized by case and deliberation. In a word, Dr. Morris has a personality that can inexplicably be seen to have perfect mastery of both himself and his subject. In the address that I heard, he In the address that I heard, he referred to the Negro's record as in such industries as charcoal and coke, cigars and tobacco, clothing, fish curing and packing, and canning, and none in car and railroad shops, electric light and power plants, and flour and grain mills. "Yet the Pullman shops in Chicago carry on their payrolls 15,000 Negroes, the Detroit automobile industry employs them in inland, and several big Cleveland concerns employ them in hundreds. "The Urban League declares that colored eligibles are shunted out of the civil service by the discriminatory application of the rule which empowers the heads of the departments to select one of three eligibles in filling such vacancy in his department." The colored appointee is the ill-structured Boston high school graduate had been "called" thirty-five times and never selected. "The Urban League contends that the colored man, contrary to a widespread notion, is well able to acquire skill and competence to fill "advanced" positions. In this connection we are reminded of the N-gro who invented the machine to lift heavy objects on shoes, and the colored man who supplied us with the first cloak that ever ticked in America. "Thus our attention is directed awe to a problem that is old and the more significant because it is old. The Negro is here to stay. He is entitled to a square deal. An intelligent policy for the development of his abilities and his economic possibilities is one of the needs of the day. The Boston Urban League, with offices at 119 Camden street, co-operates with the National Urban League, Inc., which has branches in many cities, in the cities of this situation. The League does more. It asks Massachusetts employers to give the Negro a chance by furnishing him with work on the basis of his actual merit and by keeping him at work on the basis of his making good. a soldier from the days when Crispus Attucks died as first martyrs in the American Revolution, to the day when the Armistice was signed in the recent world war. H is graphic descriptions of Crispus Attucks, Peter Salem at Bunker Hill, Sergeant Carney T. Wagtown, Captain John C. Dupont, dippers up San Juan Hill and Nedham Roberts and Henry Johnson, performing deeds of valour and winning the Croix de Guerre in the World War, held the audience spelbound. But the address possessed something else besides gorgeous imagery and perpetual rhetoric. Gens of thought were scattered throughout it. He epitomized the history of Massachusetts by shedding his sheer power over the election of Isaac Allen to the Governor's Council, but criticize her as you may, there is a moral fibre that runs like a thread of gold throughout her history." But the real thrill of the address came when Dr. Morris told, how when on Sentry duty, Henry Johnson and Nodham Johnson put to flight over a score of German soldiers, the vanguard of a serpise attack by night. He told how Roberts and Johnson were engaged in a death grapple with two Germans, which he said it was the Fort High School against the German Gymnastium. Johnson thought quicker than the German. He realized that the man who was first to free himself and reach for his knife would be the winner. He said that Johnson wrenched himself free, seized his large knife, brought it down on the head of his combatant and then plunged it into the German who was struggling with Roberts. And then both being seized with the knife and hand grenades, routed the score or more of advancing Teutons. New York had trained the mind of Johnson. She had taught him to think quickly and clearly and received her reward that memorable night. Two of the giant Texas Negroes he had seen in the Army camps, who had a slow, rigid grip and a slow read and write, whose education had been sadly neglected, could not have thought and moved quick enough to have outguesed, outwitted and out-gamed the score or more Germans, who were rushing pell mall upon them; but would probably have stood undecided as Firpo did when he knocked Dempsey off the rope. The young York in September 1923, and did not think fast enough to put Dempsey out when he had been helped back into the ring. This was a persuasive and powerful plea for the training of the Negro's mind and heart as well as of his hand, and put a fitting upon an address that was upon the mind as by rhetoric by philosophical generalizations as well as by impassioned eloquence. Make It A Habit to Read The Ads The Buy-Word of Economy The Messages Given In Each and Every Issue of the Norfolk Journal and Guide by the Merchants of this Community Warmly Defends Race Education Appropriation When Bill H. R. 303, "An act to incorporate Howard University in the District of Columbia," recently came up for consideration in the U. S. House of Representatives, it was vigorously supported by Congressman Maurice H. Thatcher, Republican of Kentucky, who is deeply interested in Negro education, as his remarks show. "I will fully approve," said Mr. Thatcher. "I should be, in no respect, urged by the Congress in Education for the passage of this pending measure. Its passage will give to Congress explicit and complete authority to make these appropriations. The 250 years, or more, of unrequited toil of the Negro race in this country; the loyalty of that race, and its sacrifices in every war for the American flag and for white Americans; its utter impoverishment and handicap at the close of the Civil War, and its loyal Americanism and capacity for progress so mply demonstrated since that war—all constitute, in my judgment, all powerful and convincing reasons why this great Republican of ours, which must depend on universal education and universal suffrage as the two great pillars of its support, should make a just and reasonable contribution toward the education of the race." CUTS OFF HEADS OF OTHER MAN AND OWN WIFE CUTS OFF HEADS OF OTHER MAN AND OWN WIFE Farm Hand Uses Ax With Deadly Effect When He Finds' Wife And Another Man In Room of His Wife. (By Preston News Service) Ruston, La., Mar. 4—Lheriff A. J. Thigpen was called to the Joe Durritt farm, three miles south of Arcadia, where he found Jackson, 25 years old, and Mattie Hawkins, 17, lying dead in the house of Willie Hawkins, tenant on the Durrett farm Friday. Both had been killed with an ax, their heads being severed from their bodies. Both bodies also were slashed. Investigation by the authorities showed that Willie Hawkins, husband of Mattie Hawkins, had found his home when he returned unexpectedly, had broken down the door and used the ax with deadly effect. Hawkins was later found in the left of his mother's home near the scene of the crime. Em Rasberry, manager of the Durrett farm, said Hawkins was practically raised on the Durrett farm, and bears an excellent name among the white people. Hawkins was placed in jail at Ruston. SEES EUROPEAN RULE IN AFRICA GIVING WAY TO A NATIVE GOVERNMENT Tribal Government Ousts That of Akida—Native Political Development And Agriculture Being Encouraged—Construction Of Railways Aids In Development. There are two schools of thought today on the government of African natives. The first school believes in what is called direct administration; that the judgment of disputes, the collection of taxes, the expenditure of money, the amount of law, could be rigidly retained in European hands; in fact that an African colony should be firmly administered by a European, and not a native government, says a correspondent in the Christian Science Monitor, writing from DAR ES SALAAM, Tanganyika. This is the system which prevails in the French colonies of West and Equatorial Africa, the British colonies of Kenya and Rhodesia, and in part, at least, of the Belgian Congo. Explaining the opposite school of thought, this correspondent says it is one which believes in the method of indirect administration. The members of this school believe that the tribal organization of the native should be allowed to develop along natural and not European lines; that the institutions which government the man's advent should continue to govern him in tribal matters; that the white administrator should confine his activities to preventing unquestionable abuse and to giving kindly advice and encouragement. Indirect Administration Under the method of indirect administration, native courts try native cases subject to European revision; native chiefs collect native taxes, and tribe has a native treasury created out of a portion of these taxes and the fees and fines of native tribunals, f r o m which tribal salaries are paid and expenditures made for tribal purposes, as determined by tribal and not the European authority. The minister is to see that the money is not expended on manifestly foolish objects, and that it is not misappropriated. The first Governor of Tanganyika, Sir Horace Byatt, accepted in theory the method of indirect administration; but it has remained for the second Governor. Sir Donald Cameron, formerly chief secretary of Nigeria where this method has been given its fullest effect, really to put it into practice here. Unlike the method of direct administration, where Europeans simply rule a country as if it were a part of America or Europe, the method of indirect administration is difficult to apply. It demands, in the first place, a detailed study of tribal institutions; and, second, a sympathy and tolerance of minor abuses which would shock a real lover of "efficiency." Tribal Organization There are two forms of tribal organization in this territory, the democratic type, found among the Bantu, whi htakes the form of 'councils of elders,' and the autocratic type, where tribes are ruled by powerful chiefs. Among many Tanganyika tribes the latter form of organization will also be found, usually as the result of alien invasions. Of these three groups, the Amazons in which Hamitic warriors, sweeping down through Uganda, past Victoria Nyanza, left a number of powerful native kingdoms, such as the chiefs of Bukobs of the present day. At a much later date—in the eighteenth century—another Hamitie people, the Nasai, crossed what now the Tanganyika-Kenya frontier between Lake Victoria and the Rift Valley, divided between these two colonies, the paramount chief of the tribe living in Tanganyika Territory. In the south, Zulu tribes also periodically invade the country; under the name of Wangoni; they commenced the devastation of southern Tanganyika, which was completed by the Maji-Maji rebellion of 1905, in which the Germans killed about 1000 natives in the kingdom without a population. Finally, along the coast remain the traces of an Arab civilization which for a time dominated, not only the coastal strip, but also the slaving route from Bagamovo to Tabora and Uijii. Akidas Abolished It was the policy of the German Government before the war to install akidas—who were originally Arab officials utilized by the Zanzibar Administration to rule Tanganyika before the German occupation—is those parts of the territory where no native tribal organization existed. Since these akidas are really alien, as far as natives are concerned, the British administration has attempted to do away with them, and in their place substitute real representatives of the people who live in the territory he restored to power: the descendants of old chiefs; in other places, where all traces of such chiefs have disappeared, such as in the towns along the coast. The Administration is planning to introduce a system of native councils elected by the people.

The citizens of this city rallied vigorously for the support of charity in the recent campaign for Weaver Orpian Home concluded in a mammoth mass meeting in Zion Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, February 21. More than 1500 interested spectators, imbued with the spirit of helpfulness crowded into the church auditorium, and laid on the table $424.46, in spite of the numerous demands made upon them in recent months for other worthy causes. An attractive program was carried out at the meeting, the children of the Home having a most interesting number. The crowd was enthusiastic, and virtually every organization and group in the city represented by a donation seized by accredited delegates. The campaign, which he had done, then been worked more as a house to house canvass as Maud Weaver Winston, field agent of the Home, who addressed various organizations on the work of the institution she represented and told of its present needs, had a most enthusiastic culmination really went over. The people he brought that they have agreed to regard for their obligation to human uplift and met the demands most creditably. Weaver Orphan Home is conducting its campaign in various cities of the state for the purpose of raising $5,000 to be used in wiping out its present indebtedness and making possible an expansion of its usefulness. At present the Home of orphan children to care for orphans which it is compelled to decline on account of lack of facilities. It is the purpose of those in charge of the work, with the aid of the public, to remove this handicap by clearing the Home of debt and building more dormitories. The founders of the institution, the Mothers of Mrs. A. B. Wonver, and Mrs. Maud Weaver Winston, the field agent, are profuse in their thanks to the Portsmouth public for the aid given the cause.

SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1926 SUFFO SUFFOLK Suffolk, Va.—This city is a growing business center. Both the colored and the white people are working together for good. Our best education in business is growing. Our mills and factory whistles are being regularly heard, and the people are beginning to handle money. And, so the Guide's substantial subscription list is growing side by side with all other enterprises. So much that there were more copies sold and delivered last Saturday than ever before. You will thank our forks for giving you one of the best Negro papers ever read in this city. I thank my personal friends "in the North," and elsewhere for their king letters for what we tell them about their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and all their many cousins who live here. So if you read the Guide, whether or not you are in jail or dead, you will hear from your folks. Nor do I partially write about you or yours, colored or white. All of the same kind look alike to me. A student asked me, the other day, if the journal and Guide would print news about white folks?

ANTI-LYNCH BILL UNDER HAMMER OF SEN. OVERMAN Carolinian Says Administration "Can't Cram This Bill Down Throat of South," Commenting On Measure. (By Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Mar. 4—If the Republican majority in the Senate attempts to pass the McKinley-Dyer anti-lynching bill at this session, "they will have a rocky road to travel," Senator Lee S. Overman, senior Democrat of North Carolina, on the judiciary committee, stated Wednesday. Senator Overman has secured a postponement of the consideration of the bill in the full judiciary committee. The bill has been favorably reported to the full committee by a sub-committee composed of Senators Cummins and Gillet, Republicans, who voted for it, and King, Democrat, who voted against it. Overman blocked the vote to the Senate in the full committee by raising the point that a full attendance was not present and insisting that the issue go over to the next meeting. Would Violate Doctrine of States' Rights The hill would turn over to the Federal courts the trial of all persons accused of "lynch law" violations and would tax the whole community in which the lynching occurred. It will be fought by Southern Senators as a violation of what remains of the doctrine of "states' rights." Northern newspapers are making much of the situation created by the practical unanimity of the Southern Senators in voting for closure. rule on the World Court, so resolves peace. They declared that this will be embarrassed to them if an attempt is made to impose the closure rule with regard to the anti-racial lynch bill. "They can't impose closure," said Senator Overman. They have not the votes to do it. Bill Cannot Be Jammed Down South's Threat "There will be no adjournment of Congress by June 1 or July 1 or August 1," he vehemently asserted one Southern Democrat, "if an attempt is made to jam this law down one more time, it will be something like an elation or adjournment. This anti-jolting bill cannot be passed." WINTON Winton, N. C.—Mr. C. E. Dean Miss Parthonia Norris and Mrs. H. C. Evans were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. C. S.

After Six Months of Hard Knocks Loses Faith In College Education. A special dispatch to the New York World of February 27, from Lincoln, Neb., gives the views of an alumnus of the University of Nebraska, Emmett V. Maun, who gained an A. B. at the commencement last June, on college education as given by his alma mater. Mr. Maun, after six months tackling the world tells his alma mater right to her face that she was four years old of no earthly use to him out in the world says the World's dispatch, which continues: "Maun says that some graduates land in a nice job kept for them in the family business circle, and others land on their face when they take a broad running jump into the world. "I am one of those who landed on his face," he writes. "At the university they trained my mind by methods of study, they taught me theory and facts, but left me trained to meet the world and its problems." "Maura tells about his several unsuccessful efforts to find himself and that he is now confronted by a choice between two jobs, neither of which provides more than a living wage. This leaves him without ability to pay debts of honor acquired while seeking an education. It makes it impossible for him to carry out his desire to establish a home. He is without credit. He declares his college course was insufficient and left him unfit. He concludes with these pungent paragraphs: "Let the idealist use his philosophies. Let him say that money is not everything. But for everything that he tells me money will not buy I will tell him ten things that it will. "Thus, my university has failed me. It taught me idealism when I needed realism. It taught me the meaning of life in me, in a fisherman; it did not advise me and let me learn when it was too late and then turned me out four years behind the man who did not go." "If I criticise, I offer also a remedy. Discard a history, a philosophy, a Greek, a geography, a Latin and an economics instructor, and hire a $15,000-a-year man who has trained men and who knows men. Put him at the head of a vocational guidance department, and freshman and every senior. Let him advise these men at all stages and finally get a job for the man who is suited for the job. If the head of the department is the right kind of a man, and if he creates the right kind of a department, he will save 100 years of wasted lives every year," Mrs. Jane Mustgray, February 25. *Mrs. Dora Brown is the Guide's agent for Courtland, and those happenings should get in to touch with her.

The Land and Development Association which filed the petition says that the property in question has been occupied by colored residents for the past twenty years and that the city, thru its officials threaten their tenants with arrest and prosecution if they do not move. The section in question is in the heart of an aristocratic white neighborhood. WHITE CHURCHES HEAR DISCUSSED RACE RELATIONS WHITE CHURCHES HEAR DISCUSSED RACE RELATIONS (By Preston News Service) Columbus, Ohio, Mar. 5—In two of the largest, white Methodist Episcopal Churches in this city, Glenwood and Indianola Methodist Episcopal Church, last Sunday, and before the white Methodist Episcopal Preachers Meeting on Monday, Secretary I. G. Garland Penn, Cincinnati, Ohio, of the Board of Education, Methodist Episcopal Church, representing the Department of Educational Institutions for Negroes, delivered an Interracial message. In part he said that, "We are now living in an era when sober, sane and forward looking people of all races are advocates of peace and good will. This is spiritual statesmanship. The government that would be unjust to another government, the group that would initiate another group in the human race, the individual who would initiate and breed strife by injustice to others is fast becoming the object of universal condemnation. Take for instance, the avalanche of protest coming from leading white people in Atlanta and Georgia upon those who would by class legislation, be among his own people." "Those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." Anything not in harmony with right, if allowed to continue will become so ridiculous that it will kill itself. A city council would be just as much within its constitutional right to legislate that white men should not sell Negroes shoes nor receive deposits from Negroes in their banks as to say white men should not have Negroes shaves h've the "A few weeks ago Secretary Penn said he was, by accident, in a southern city in a group of white students of the South, discussing the progress of Interracial amity and good will. Some of the students from Southern universities and colleges said. The position taken by some of our people, toward the Negro, is to us so unchristian and silly as to make us look with pity at the Negro." The Atlanta case is at once unchristian and silly, the pity is upon those who sponsored it and not those against whom it is directed." "Suppose Negroes had, by law, to buy shoes from Negroes in Atlanta because white people were not allowed to fit shoes on them for sanitary reasons, as white men must not be shaved by Negroes for sanitary reasons, then fifty thousand Negroes in Atlanta buying shoes from Negroes at an average of five dollars a pair, two pairs a dollar, would mean half million dollars a year for Negroes in the shoe business and consequent loss to white business of half million, as there are no Negro shoe merchants in Atlanta. No wonder the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce calls a halt on legislation, which if consistently carried into it of how forms of business would be reorganized in ways than one. It only tends to show that prejudice is ignorance and ignorance is bad and always acts without the long look." The Modern Priscilla Art Club was pleasantly entertained last Wednesday evening by Mrs. J. Wainwright at her residence, on Armstrong avenue. The Bible Class of Zion S. S. met last Wednesday evening with Mrs. S. J. Troy, County street. Quite a large number were present and after a very interesting meeting, dainty refreshments were served by the hostess.

In Florida (By Associated Negro Press.) Jacksonville, Fla., Mar. 3—Another outstanding journalist has passed to the great beyond. Walter I. Lewis, for many years editor of the colored department of the Metropolis (now the Jacksonville Journal) died suddenly last Thursday at his home, 810 Clay street. The aged editor had been in failing health for sometime, and on Wednesday night was taken to the 120th ill. died in a car at 1:30. Walter Lewis was the best Negro in the city of Jacksonville. For more than thirty years the people of this city had come to regard him as a figure in the news- SEES THE EUROPEAN RULE IN AFRICA GIVING WAY One of the most important steps in recognizing tribal authority has been the recognition of native courts. Ever since these native tribes began, their own courts have decided disputes. After finding out what the exact composition of these courts is, the British Administration has regularized their powers and put them under official supervision. These tribunals settle all the civil disputes between natives, in accordance with tribal and not European law. They also relieve the European judicial authorities of an immense amount of criminal work. However, every criminal sentence of a tribal officer in a European officer before it can be carried out. Each court is obliged to keep a detailed record of all civil and criminal cases, including fines and fees imposed, which is periodically inspected by British officials. Annual Tribute Modified Of equal importance to this recognition of native tribunals has been the abolition of chiefs' tribute and establishment of native treasuries. Since ancient times, he chiefs of Central and East Africa have levied an annual tribute to the chiefs of the land, free from free produce or of labor. In the early days the produce thus given to the chief really went into a war chest to provide for the tribe in times of war. The chief also provided food and drink for tribal barazas, while he maintained the poor and aged of the tribe and paid salaries to his sub-chiefs and headmen. paper field. He was seen everywhere, and went everywhere in search of news which was of interest to our group here. In 1920 he was associated with the Florida Sentinel, first as associate editor, and then as editor. He held this position for several years, when the colored department of the Jacksonville Journal was reestablished and he was called to this position again. Since that time, he has been an outstanding character in the community. VETS BUREAU DEMANDS JONES' RESIGNATION Man Who Preferred Charges Against Major Ward Dismissed By Washington Officials From Service. (Special Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 24—The Veterans Bureau has demanded the resignation of W. L. Jones, engineer at the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., effective as of October 12, 1925, the date he was suspended from duty and pay. Refuses To Accept Mr. Jones, who is in Washington has refused to resign. He claims that his charges of mismanagement of the Tuskegee veterans hospital have been proved. He is seeking a congressional investigation into conditions at the hospital as well as his restoration to duty. The Veterans' Bureau suspended Mr. Jones from duty without pay. Oct. 12, 1925, pending an investigation by Melvin Chium and Miss Esher J. Bullock that he sought to injure Major J. H. Ward, the commanding officer, and bring about his removal as the hospital head. Hearings Last Week Hearings on these charges were held in the last week in October, 1925, before the personnel board in the Veterans' Bureau. The original suspension of Mr. Jones was for a period of 90 days. At its expiration he reported to Major Ward for duty. He was advised that he could not return to work until there were instructions from the veterans' Bureau on October 5, the Veterans' Bureau advised Mr. Jones that his suspension had been extended for a period not exceeding 60 more days. On February 11, he received the following letter from the Veterans' Bureau asking him to tender his resignation: Bureau's Letter "Reference is made to your letter of February 2, 1926, requesting to be advised of the present status of your case. As a result of your official conduct and other activities at Tuskegee you have brought about a condition which makes it most inadvisable to retain you in the Veterans' Bureau service at Tuskegee. There is no appropriate assignment available at any other location, which is beyond your vision existed, it is very doubtful that the position would be offered you in view of your record at Tuskegee. It is not desired to prejudice your Civil Service record thru a removal with prejudice. It is therefore suggested that you submit your resignation at once effective at the close of business October 12, 1925, the date of your suspension from duty and pay. If you do not submit your resignation, you will be dropped from the rolls in the Veterans' Bureau. This letter was signed by H. W. Longfellow, chief of the personnel division of the Veterans' Bureau; by direction. Mr. Jones charges Melvin J. Chisum with double-crossing him.

But with the construction of railways and steamships by alien governments it became possible for the chief to sell his tribute upon foreign markets and to pocket the money for his personal use. The larger, the tribute the greater the chief's, hank account; consequently he was tempted to increase the exactions from his people. Economic Benefits The British government decided that the abuses of the tribute should be done away with April 1925. In consultation with the chiefs and people, it was decided to substitute for the tribute a money payment, to consist of a certain percentage of the taxes paid by the tribe, the rate of which should be increased to take the place of the tribute which the people would no longer have to pay. This sum of money should be paid, not into the personal hands of the chiefs but into the主动性 trump of which the chiefs and subchiefs and judges, should receive fixed salaries, and the balance of which should go to a common purpose fund, for the benefit of the tribe. A striking example of the economic and political benefits of this form of administration has already occurred in the Singida district of the Dodoma province. For some years the native cattle of this area have been dying because of lack of water. When the people finally went to the Government and asked for water they were told to look for wells, and 4000s, of their tax money was set aside for constructive purposes of two months, 25 wells had been constructed, which insured a continuous water supply. Thus not only was the lives of the cattle saved, but the people were really taught how to help themselves. Some sultanates are so small that their native treasuries are too meagre really to aid the people. Consequently in several districts a movement toward the amalgamation of different sultanates in the same tribes have commenced. Several Sultanates joined the large sultanate of Yamanembe in a military order in which received an immediate benefit in the form of free seed, paid for by the native treasury, which was surely needed because of the recent drought. In addition to encouraging the political government of the native peoples of Tanganyika, the British Administration is encouraging native agriculture, whether in the form of crop instructions, couched in native terminology and in native agricultural demonstrators, of plowing schools, of credit with which to buy plows, and of controlled markets which prevents exploitation by the middlemen. Natives Becoming Rich The native of Bukoba are becoming rich off the 4000 tons of Bukoba coffee which they export every year; while the natives in the Moshi and Arusha area received a better price for their Arabic coffee this year than did the European growers. Native cotton production especially in the Shinyan district, is going ahead by leaps and bounds, while the peanut crop of the Tabora area is prodigious. In the field of education, the Government has also marked out a program. For some reason the last Governor would not co-operate with the missions in education. But this policy has happily been changed, and the cobber has been confined to the confinement of missions and government officials was held at Dar-es-Salaam, where an educational program, including a system of prantis-in-aid, w a s framed. Instruction in all village schools will be in Swahili, while instruction in the advanced or central school will be for the most part in English. One of the most interesting schools in Africa is the School for Chiefs' Son at Tabora, where 18 reigning sultans and about 70 heirs are learning, not only the three R's, but the principles of agriculture, sanitation, animal husbandry, accounts and administration—in fact, everything which will enable them to become the real No More Gray Hair Larieuse Hair Coloring makes it a Lustrous Black Hair Contour, 09A applications $1.19 POSTPAID Caddesw Mfg.

Officials I know little of the legal power the Mandate Commission constantly justify their acts on the ground that such and such an order down from the League. The Act on music must be ruled that because the labor provisions in the Mandate, the Government must in the future pay for the upkeep of road which in neighboring colonies are maintained by free labor. White Settlement The present policy of the Tanganyika Government is open to criticism in only one respect, that is the proposal to open up the Irenga and Rungwe districts for white settlement. These are the southern highlands of Tanganyikia which from the standpoint of climate, are capable of supporting European settlers. There are; moreover, few natives in the area; as far as land is concerned, there is room for both. But the very absence of natives in this area makes white settlement inadvisable. White farmers cannot exist without native labor; and the plantation owners at Kili马伊罗, Tanga and along the coast are already facing a labor crisis which the opening of the Irenga and Rungwe districts would merely aggravate. Some plantations have already restricted production and others fear that they will have to close down because of the labor shortage. The native of Tanganyika is so busy growing coffee, cotton and peanuts on his own account that he is disinclined to go away from home to work for the European settler. There is no reason. There is no reason why he should, even from the European standpoint, since there is no crop here, with the exception of sisal, which the natives cannot produce as well as, if not better than, under the plantation system. According to many people, Tanganyika has a great mining future, which if true, will constitute a still further drain on labor which makes the opening up of new areas to European settlement inadvisable, not only from the standpoint of the natives, but also of the white settler. It is to be hoped that the Mandates Commission will warn the British Government of the dangers of making Tanganyika into another Kenya.

To Reorganize Traffic Although nothing definite as to what is proposed accompanied the recent announcement of the Virginia Electric and Power Company that a reorganization of traffic there is planned, enough is known of the local-cooperation policy of Stone and Webster, new owners of the company, and of those in immediate charge of their properties to inspire confidence that whatever reorganization or re-routing is inaugurated will be predicted upon what experience, expert advice and a square-deal-for-all policy will have convinced the company are the requirements for a modern traffic system here. Undoubtedly, there is considerable room for improvement in the local transportation system, developed sort of indifferently and haphazardly during the half-dozen years of bitter bus-trolley competition and controversy. The best evidence that the new owners realize that the system is not what it ought to be is their voluntary announcement of their desire to reorganize it, which also is added evidence that the Virginia Electric and Power Company intends giving this community the best obtainable public service. A reputation for liberal-mindedness and comprehensiveness in the public utilities field preceded, or at least accompanied Stone and Webster here. Since their coming the local public has found good reasons for feeling confident that such a reputation has been earned and is valued. From this confidence flows the assurance that in the company's plans for a reorganized traffic system is embodied the idea of serving most advantageously every section of the city. Although nothing definite as to what is proposed accompanied the recent announcement of the Virginia Electric and Power Company that a reorganization of traffic here is planned, enough is known of the local-cooperation policy of Stone and Webster, new owners of the company, and of those in immediate charge of their properties to inspire confidence that whatever reorganization or re-routing is inaugurated will be predicted upon what experience, expert advice and a square-deal-for-all policy will have convinced the company are the requirements for a modern traffic system here. Undoubtedly, there is considerable room for improvement in the local transportation system, developed sort of indifferently and haphazardy during the half-dozen years of bitter bus-trolley competition and controversy.

Financial Receiver by President Wilson the event the $5,000,000 loan by the Dr. Solomon Porter Hood, who was recently on a visit to this country and appeared to be in fair health, is now returning to this country because of indifferent health, we are informed from Washington. Dr. Hood is the American Minister to Liberia. It has been customary in the absence of the Minister for the Secretary of Legation to act in his stead. It has been the invariable custom in dealing with the Liberian embassy. But things have changed for Liberia, and the State Department has designated Reid Page Clark as Charge de Affaires at Monovia, and he will proceed at once to the West Coast of Africa. It is said that he was slated for the position of Financial Receiver by President Wilson in the event the $5,000,000 loan by the Editorial Page of United States had been made to Liberia. But it was not made. It is said that Mr. Clark has been designated to take charge of American interests in Liberia, not because Minister Hood is sick unto death but because the Firestone Rubber Company, of Akron, Ohio, has secured very large concessions of rubber lands, containing also many other values, and will spend right away one hundred million dollars in developing those interests. It is said that the return of Dr. Hood amounts to a recall and that the appointment of Mr. Clark was urged as necessary to properly protect with the influence of the United States the large interests of the Firestone Rubber Company. It looks on the face of it as if the race has lost the only diplomatic position it had and that Liberia has placed itself in the position of forfeited independence, subject, to all intents and purposes, to taking orders from the Firestone Rubber Company. And Liberia is the only independent Negro government in Africa, except Abyssinia, which does not claim to be African but Semitic racially. Too bad, but no one can eat his pie and have it. Pat Harrison on Cobb Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, vigorously protests to the judiciary committee the Senate against the recommendation that A.

To the grounds "that a careful review of his record revealed that his act has been calculated to stir up race hatred that his temperament and ambition such as to disqualify him for jurisdiction." race prejudice makes strange beet. Here is Pat Harrison for once, at least, on the side of race amity, race hatred. Of course, we must get that way over Cobb's own judgement, for all we have heard Harrison requires no "careful review that his whole public career calculated to stir up race hatred that he holds his senatorship by virtue of up race hatred, for is he aificationist of the Fourteenth and Amendments, and is he not able in the Senate and bray about now because of the fact that a right to say whether Pat Harrison shall not be a United States Senator could be more calculated to race hatred than Mississippi denying tens of another race what the condescension guarantees them? The only advocates flouting of the Fourth Fifteenth Amendments not only was disregard of racial feelings absolute disdain of the organic land. Pat Harrison easily could be revered at the Senate on the grounds that his career has been calculated to stir hatred and that his seat is ill if there were enough righteous body to cause it to purge itself. Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, strongly protests to the judiciary committee of the Senate against the recommendation of James A. Cobb, whom President Coolidge named for the place made vacant on the municipal bench of the District of Columbia by the death of Judge Robert H. Terrell on the grounds "that a careful review of Cobb's record revealed that his activities had been calculated to stir up race hatred, and that his temperament and ambitions are such as to disqualify him for judicial position." Race prejudice makes strange bed-fellows. Here is Pat Harrison for once, ostensibly at least, on the side of race amity and against race hatred. Of course, we know he just got that way over Cobb's nomination to a judgeship, for all we have heard of Pat Harrison requires no "careful review" to disclose that his whole public career has been calculated to stir up race hatred. In fact he holds his senatorship by virtue of stirring up race hatred, for is he not a nullificationist of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and is he not able to stand in the Senate and bray about race hatred now because of the fact that a great bulk of the citizens of Mississippi are denied the right to say whether Pat Harrison shall or shall not be a United States Senator? What could be more calculated to stir up race hatred than Mississippi denying the citizens of another race what the constitution expressly guarantees them? The South openly advocates flouting of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments not only with a ruthless disregard of racial feelings but with absolute disdain of the organic law of the land. Pat Harrison easily could be removed from the Senate on the grounds that his public career has been calculated to stir up race hatred and that his seat is illegally held, if there were enough righteousness in that body to cause it to purge itself. Fisk Has A New President isk University has a new pres Thomas Elsa Jones, a white man yet to make his mark as a preach ator. He is to succeed Dr. Faytay die, who placed himself out of the student body and created all toubles for himself and the unive Fisk University has a new president. He is Thomas Elsa Jones, a white man who has yet to make his mark as a preacher or educator. He is to succeed Dr. Fayette McKenzie, who placed himself out of touch with the student body and created all sorts of troubles for himself and the university, simply because he did not "fit in," which many of the white presidents of Afro-American schools are failing to do. Why? Mr. Jones is said by Rev. H. H. Proctor to be acceptable to the Fisk alumni. We hope so. The disagreements we have been having between white presidents and the students of our schools of higher education the past few years have not reassured the public nor made for the best interests of our young men and women in the highest and best way. This can never be attained where the authorities and the student body are not in full sympathy. Now, what is the trouble with those in authority and student bodies of our colleges and universities? Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, who has had troubles of his own with white presidents, explains the matter in part in his article in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of February 20, when he declared that "no school which depends upon legislatures or miscellaneous contributions can expect their patrons to support educational aims and ideals in which they do not believe." Certainly not. And then Dean Miller reaches the conclusion that "The supporters of our institutions are mainly white, who have their own notions as to what the education of the Negro should be. This notion we are forced to say is growing less and less flattering to our pride and conceit." * " * " That is the fact. "But all hope is not lost," says Dean Miller. "The cultural aspect of Negro education is taking a new turn, and it is not centering in our universities, but away from them, and developing in New York. Our universities will continue to turn out teachers and professional graduates, but they will not carry the cultural standards nor the independent and high thinking which the race stands in need of. Complaint has been made that the white universities have fallen into a rut and no longer reflect the cultural possibilities, in the same way as our universities have failed, and there is a well defined movement among the whites to break away from the cut and dried programs of the universities and develop a higher and more independent class of thinkers." These young white rebels against the old order are by no means confined to the North and West; the South is furnishing her share of them, and they are making themselves heard and felt; many of them residing in the North and West and having journalistic and magazine connections which, with their work as authors make them independent of local prejudice and pressure. When it begins to get too dark, intellectually or otherwise, a little light breaks through the gloom which after awhile grows to a flood of light. It will be so with us in the long run.

BookChat Something of the epicurean quality of an editor's mind is reflected in the tasty "menu" to the March issue of Opportunity: Journal of Negro Life," published by the National Urban League, 127 East 28rd Street, New York City. There is fiction by an able Negro writer, poetry by a bevy of the younger literati, Negro history by a famous scholar and educator, a study of Negro folk lore by an eminent professor in a white university, seasoned editors' reviews of Spanish and English books pertaining to the Negro, and a continuation of the discussion of the "Negro in Industry" which began in the February issue. Some of the outstanding papers in this issue of "Opportunity," include "Race Pride and Folk Lore," by N. N. Puckett; Negro History" by Kelly Miller; "The Negro In Steel," by John T. Clark; "Labor for Southern Cotton Mills," by Richard Wood Edmonds; and excerpts of the leading papers read at the recent conference of the National Urban League. —MARY WHITE OVINGTON The Racial Equality Bugaboo They're raising a horrible hullabull on the racial equality hugaboo. They're rummaging ancestral trees, and probing into pedigrees. Examining analogies, Comparing genealogies, Dissecting one another's veins, proportion of traits, To demonstrate authority For race superiority. Tis arbitrarily decreed That only that peculiar breed Would be distinctly blue And Angle-Saxon thro and thro. With stipulations can comply, And critically qualify. Discrimination, agitation, Separation, legislation, Clamor for effectuation Determination That this Saxon purity Remains in perpetuity. Now, this grandilouquent design is theoretically fine, but in its actualities, is punctured full of failures, or who actually declare Jure who the Anglo-Saxons are? All selections of connections, All inflections of complexions, Manifold amalgamations, And untold adulterations, A form of a deft duplication. That defies elucidation, And confirms the declaration That no mortal can declare Who the Anglo-Saxons are. And furthermore, I must relate That this conglomerated state It's but the natural frution Of the Saxon's own volition, Upon their own initiation, They contrived the situation That produced amalgamation, The Saxons of the Saxons That identify the races. Hence, their fanciful seclusion Is a farcical delusion, That denies unwilling eyes All well, All well That they are coming to their own, And reaping simply what they've sowed However, since they now intend, By all invenions to amend The circumstances that offend, It seems to me, the proper course Would stray the streamlet at its source Would rearrange relations Relations that originate Conditions they would oblige Instead, they stultify their cause With their inconsequential laws, Whose impudent verbosity Breathes only animosity, And stapled defends the ends Its phraseology intends. Exclusively they designate For most incorrigible hate, All evidencing any fraction, Or hint of African extraction. They vent their sworn determination To damn us with humiliation, Indignity and degradation, We will not shall eat, And where we are to take a seat; They designate where we may ride, And likewise where we may reside; They shout voiceless negation On virtuous association, While dissuaded affiliations And amphibian emanations And disease All that they would effectuate. Instead of these fallacious schemes And these impracticable dreams, I recommend the only plan That ever could or ever can Assure the Saxon school situation From a well-educated infiltration, And salvage it the residue Of its indecimable blue. If Saxon masculinity Relinquish its affinity For the captivating graces Of the vari-colored races Of differentiate The traces they would isolate, There'd be no need to advocate, And no excuse to legislate Perminous disabilities On innocent civilizations. But if this ardent predilection Defies volitional direction, Or if the African Infection Eases societal detection. Not all the councils and the courts, And all the arsenals and forts Can rectify the situation By statutory regulation.

Washington.—Congress had a real sensation when at 3:10 the doors of the Senate swung open and Senator Seward and Mr. Lincoln entered. Senator Douglas hastened to the President-elect and greeted him cordially. Immediately Mr. Lincoln was surrounded and business was suspended. Senator Mason of Virginia declined an introduction to Mr. Lincoln, but other Southern Senators, including Latham, Bright, Rice, Green, Johnson, Fitch, and Kennedy, were introduced. During all this time there was wild excitement in the galleries where the ladies rushed to the front seats to obtain a closer view of the next President.

CLARK, M. D. Petersburg, Va. Dr. Miller fails to grow enthusiastic over the New York Times' conclusion that the ku klux klan is petering out, and depicts what a fearful menace this organization might become under fired leadership. He declared that it was only incidental that the klan had its birth in the South, and points to the inspiration for its birth and growth in the brains of a Northerner and a Harvard graduate, Lothrop Stodard, who "preached the gospel of flesh and blood in contrast with the Christian gospel of soul and spirit." Dr. Miller finds the Negro's best defense against the machinations of the klan, its proscription of the Catholics and Jesus along with those of African descent. "Had the Negro been alone," says Kelly Miller, "he would have had no way of resisting the band." nal quarrels, disputes and charges of misdeeds and financial corruption. The falling off in membership in all sections of the country seems to be beyond dispute. But notwithstanding the assurance of the Times, it might be well to exercise due caution in accepting the results of any outside investigation into the workings of a secret order. We distinctly recall how it was predicted that the Washington parade last summer would prove to be a miserable fizzle. Yet it turned out to be a momentous spectacle of menacing magnitude and meaning. No one knows its secret strength and resources or can easily divine its future prospects or portent. The ku klux klan is the one sinister significant movement that grew out of the World War. Its avowed object is to widen and deepen the color line. People who fight together on the battlefield usually become friends and comrades for life. The comradery of war goes far towards wiping out the demarkations of race, religion and color. It was to forefend this conclusion that the ku klux klan was born. It was only an incident that the origin was in the South. The author of "The Rising Tide of Color," is a Bostonian, New England born and Harvard bred. This book implanted in the minds and imagination of the people the suggestion of a deep separation between the white and the non-white portions of mankind. Mr. Lothrop Stoddard preached the gospel of flesh and blood, as contrasted with the Christian gospel of soul and spirit. Not only would he draw a line of division between the white and non-white, but also between the different breeds within the white race. It so happens that the Nordic breed connotes Protestant religion. The two basic plains in the creed are based on race and religion. The one hundred percent. American must be white and Protestant. Naturally enough this doctrine appealed most strongly at first to the South whose white population is almost wholly Protestant and is tremendously concerned with keeping white. They are so eager in pursuit of this objective that they have lost the sense of humor. Through three hundred years of bastardy they have tended to bleach out the Negro; but are now turning heaven and earth to keep the Negro from becoming bleached. The ku klux klan must hide their faces behind a veil to prevent people from seeing the smile of their own sense of inconsistency. It is strange beyond expression that this new movement should have revived a name that had been discarded and discredited by its own dastardly deeds. But stranger still is it that the North should have accepted this name of an order which a generation ago it had to put down with the strong hand of the government. The Negro is the prime objective of the klan. Its original aim was to defeat the intent of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Its present purpose is no whit different. But in the South the order is useless for this purpose. The white people of this section do not need to cover their shame with a hood in order to deprive the Negro of his rights under the law. Nor is it necessary for them to parade by night. All of which they can as easily accomplish with uncovered head in broad daylight. The Negro has no earthly need to fear the kuklux klan in the South. It is only when the propaganda spreads to the North and West that it takes on menaceful meaning to him. The Negro, to be sure is the innocent victim. He is wholly without means of defense against its evil machinations. He is not admitted to its circles. He is like a man with a nightmare. Subconsciously he clearly perceives the threatening danger, but is absolutely powerless to move or even to make an outray. He must perforce stand aside and let others fight the battle, while he looks intently but impatient on. During the ku klux parade in Washington not a Jew witnessed the spectacle, except spotter posts for the purpose. The Negro crowd crowded the avenue and gazed as not chalantly as if it were an inangible parade. The Negro's nature will save him from any prophied condemnation fate. Negro preachers in all parts of the country have welcomed the Klan and accepted their contribution. Think of the Jew or the Catholic doing such a self-debating thing. The unsophisticated Negro is assured that the Klan is not after him. This is quite true if he is willing to accept his assigned place, which is below the normal level of American citizenship. The Negro has to thank Mr. Stoddard for including white men in the list to be banned and excluding them from the embracing bond of Nordic superiority. Had the Negro alone been prescribed, he would have had means of resisting the restraining band. But when Catholics and Jews are likewise excluded he can look on and smile knowingly while the battle rages. The eye of every Negro in America was fixed on the Democratic national convention where the issue was fought to a standstill between the two exponents and opponents of the viled menace. The Republican convention, with rare political shrewdness, avoided the issue. No single outstanding Republic has yet openly declared war on the klan. Only this week, the President of the United States has uttered strong words in condemnation of its tolerance. The sin is condemned but the sinner is spared the burialization of hearing his name mentioned. Mr. Bryant said at the Madison Square convention that if you let the klan alone, it would die the death of its own folly. Maybe he was right. It may be that the silence of Mr. Coolidge is practically wise as well as politically expedient. At any rate the Negro can only stand and gaze at the ku klan as the football to be kicked back and forth between the two great parties and between facets within the parties. He has an incurable optimism. He has a self satisfied assurance that all will be well in the end. The black man is fatalist. None of these things move him. The Times also claims that the klan is deteriorating through inefficient management. As long as the seat and center of the movement is in the South the organization will be comparatively ineffective. The South has not been able to project and head up any great national movement for three generations. Its best energies have been absorbed in keeping itself white. All great movements and projects, whether political, commercial, industrial scientific or religious have had their origin, mainspring and management in the North. The break down in the ku klux klan by reason of internal dissensions and inefficient handling is little more than was to be expected from the section in which it is centered. The great projects in the South are mainly under control of Northern men and money. The real danger to the Negro and to the nation of the ku klux klan lies in the likelihood of shifting the seat of the management from the South to the North or West. Some one has facetiously said that the klan will not amount to very much until it gets a Jew to manage it. I must confess my inability to share the optimism of the New York Times. It seems that there is a temporary set back in the order due to inefficient leadership and control. The motive is still powerful in its appeal to the pride and selfishness of all. If there could be found a man of the leadership and daring of Mussolini of Italy who would tie up his destiny with a movement, it seems to me entirely likely that within a few years, the ku klux klan would as completely command this government as the facisti now control Italy. Let it be hoped however that no such leadership will be forth coming to tie itself up to such a cause which works for the disruption of human relationships. There is still appealing power in the old slogan of the brotherhood of man. Ever the Nordic must recognize that the whole creation is moving towards the moral and spiritual oneness of mankind, and that divisions based on flesh and blood will not be able finally to withstand the unifying tendency of science, religion and culture. In the mean time let us thank the Times for the thought that the hooded order is on the seizing decline. It will doublet make the final trial of its strength in the next presidential election.
