BANKS' CASE IS CONTINUED TO NEXT WEEK BANKS' CASE IS CONTINUED TO NEXT WEEK Merchant Who Shot And Killed 11-Year Old Leroy Strother Goes Over To March 24. The case of Israel Banks, who shot and killed 11-year-old Leroy Strother some months ago, which was scheduled to go to trial in Corporation Court No. 1 Wednes- day morning was continued until March 24, on motion of the Com- mongwealth. Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Arnold requested the continuance on the grounds that a witness material to the prosecution was absent. Attorney J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, assisting in the prosecution, further explained why he and his associates, Walter David H. Edwards, of the local bar felt that a continuance was necessary in a fair presentation of the State's case. J. Louis Broudy, representing the defense, was at first reluctant to acquiesce in having the case continued. He argued that the circumstances surrounding his client were such as cause him (Banks) considerable anxiety and he, Mr. Broudy, felt that they should be speedily disposed of one way or the other. When Arnold and Newsome insisted that the case go over to a later date, Broudy asked the Court to allow himself and counsel for the State to confer for a few minutes on the nature of the testimony to be given by the absent witness, Mr. Broudy stating that if after hearing the nature of this testimony, he was convinced that it was really material to the State's case, he as defense counsel, would not insist on going to trial without that testimony. The lawyers tired to the rear of the courtroom and conferred for a few minutes, after which Mr. Broudy announced to the court that he felt that the theory of the Commonwealth's case depended materially on what testimony it was believed would be adducted from the absent witness, and Mr. Broudy, therefore willingly consent to postponement. Judge B. D. White of Princess Anne County, was sitting on the bench in the absence of Judge Sargent. 5.000 CHILDREN MARCH IN PARADE (By Associated Negro Press) Orangeburg, S.

SOUTH'S JURY SYSTEMHOLDS IN COURT TEST United States Supreme Court Holds No Abridgment Of Constitutional Rights In Barring Members Of Race. PATTERSON MUST DIE ON MURDER CONVICTION (Special to the Journal and Guide) Petersburg, Va.. Mar. 15—The first case of record of a criminal case to go to the United States Supreme Court on appeal of a Negro convicted of a capital offense, on the grounds that the names of members of his race were excluded from lists from which the petit and grand juries were drawn, was lost when the high court today dismissed the appeal of James, alias "Bossy" Patterson, of this city, for the want of jurisdiction. Patterson was convicted in 1922 for the murder of Irvin Sid, and sentenced to be electrocuted. In his appeal to the Supreme Court he contended that his indictment and trial was illegal because of the exclusion of Negroes from his juries, because he had been denied a change of venue although public excitement was running high at Petersburg when he was tried and because the judge lets the bench during the trial and went into an adjoining room to use the telephone. Negroes throughout the South have leamed toward the opinion that their trials before juries in counties where members of their race are excluded from jury lists, constitute abdication of their constitutional rights. Recently a white lawyer of North Carolina, appearing before a Pennsylvania judge in opposition to the extradition of a Negro from Pennsylvania to a North Carolina city to answer an indictment raised this question, and the Pennsylvania court sustained the point, denying extradition. The Supreme Courts disclaimement of proper jurisdiction in the Patterson case means that the court or last resort in this country does not deem the law disbursement of Negroes from juries that must try Negro criminal offenses affects the constitutional guarantees of the persons to be tried, for the Supreme Court. They are invested with appropriate jurisdiction in all wherein there are, or at least the members of the court feel there are, constitutional questions involved. WILSON'S LODGE WON'T O. K. HIM Washington, D. C., March 17.—Columbia Lodge No. 85, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, at its meeting last night, voted to rescind its endorsement of J. Finley Wilson for re-election as Grand Exalted Ruler for a fifth term and to send its delegation急急地 to the Grand Lodge in Cleveland, Ohio, next August.

Bundy reversing the decision of the lodge in the case of Herbert C. Akers, recording secretary, who was exonerated by lodge on a second remarks concerning the remarks concerning Exalted Ruler Wilson. Following his exoneration by the lodge, the members bringing the charges appealed to the District Deputy. The lodge claims that the District Deputy has no jurisdiction.

C., Mar. 18—The Veterans Bureau has not yet taken action in the case of W. L. Jones, chief engineer at the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., who declined to resign by request of bureau officials. Mr. Jones has been under suspension since October 12, 1925. He was suspended upon charges made by Melvin J. Chusum, field secretary of the National Negro Press Association, following a visit to Tuskegee Hospital. Mr. Chusum charged him with disloyalty to the hospital administration and conspiring to bring about removal of Dr. J. H. Ward, the medical officer in charge of the hospital. Requested to Resign On February 11, last, Mr. Jones was requested to submit his resignation. Under date of February 26, last, he advised General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans Bureau, that he could not comply with the demand for his resignation. Since then the Veterans Bureau has taken no action in the case. TheVACillation on the part of the Veterans Bureau brought footh from Mr. Chisum, who has been in the city with A. L. Holsey, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, the charge that there are individuals in the Veterans Bureau who are in sympathy with Mr. Jones and "are using their positions in the Bureau to discredit the administration of the hospital by Negroes. For such bureau officials," Mr. Chisum said, "the plots a and schemes of Jones and his associates are a constant source of material." Mr. Chisum in his statement with regard to the Tuskegee hospital situation also denounced Mr. Jones as a real "Emperor Jones." He said: "I have been reluctant to expose public gaze the sinister character of Jones in the hope that he would resign and leave Tuskegee. My reason for making public the report at this time is because he threatens, in order to try to save himself, to destroy innocent friends of Tuskegee hospital and has contrived with the aid of certain unseruptulous persons to prepare and disseminate false and exaggerated statements to carry out his scheme. "Jones is in every way the counterpart of 'Emperor Jones.' Today he is a broken, pathetic figure, pursued by the 'tom-toms' of wickedness and defeated schemes. Blindly, foolishly, he has stumbled over the trail from Boley to Tuskegee, and as these lines are written he is in Washington. In desperation he flees vainly from himself, momentarily expecting that fatal 'silver bullet' of truth which will destroy him. Fear, the relentless tribunal of the soul pursues him by day and torments him through sleepless nights. "The helpless, hunted look which we wears tells the inevitable story of the man of fettered faith ingred and malice who awake too late to find that the struggle against right is futile and hopeless in the end." HOUSE IGNORES BUSBY CHARGES HOUSE IGNORES BUSBY CHARGES (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., March 18.—The House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday voted unanimously to report adversely the resolution introduced in the House on Wednesday, March 10, by Representative Jeff Busby, Democrat, of Mississippi, calling upon the Attorney General to transmit the report of two agents of the Department of Justice who investigated charges that Federal offices in Mississippi were being sold. The action of the Judiciary Committee is regarded as an exoneration of Perry W. Howard, National Committeeman for Mississippi, upon whose recommendation all Federal appointments in Mississippi are made. There have been two investigations into the handling of patronage in Mississippi. The first was made by postal inspectors at the direction of Postmaster General Harry S. New. The second was made by agents of the Department of Justice. HANDLING OF SPOILS IRKS CONGRESSMAN Idea Of Colored Federal Patronage Boss Doesn't Set Well With Mississippi "Lily White" of Vardaman School WANTS HOWARD'S PREROGATIVES PROBED Washington, D. C., March 16.—The attack upon him last Wednesday in the House was inspired by "lily - white" Republicans for the purpose of having him sheared of his prerogatives as a member of the Republican National Committee, Perry W. Howard declared in a statement last Monday. The attack was made on the floor of the House by Representative Jeff Busy, Democrat, of Mississippi, who introduced a resolution calling upon the Attorney General to transmit to the House the report of two agents of the Department of Justice with reference to the handling of patronage in Mississippi. Says Busby Is a Tool Mr. Howard charged that Mr. Busby is simply the tool of "illy-wild" Republicans and disappointed office-seekers, and is connected with the dying Vardanan faction in the Democratic party in Mississippi, which has always believed in riding into office by an appeal to racial prejudice. "I am sure," Mr. Howard said, "that people generally understand I, as National Committeesman, would be opposed in the handling of patronage by this element of people, who believe that the only position for a Negro is that of a menial." Mr. Howard admitted that all matters of Federal patronage in Mississippi are referred to him for a recommendation. This practice is followed by the Republican party in every state which has no Republican Senators so far as he is advised, Mr. Howard explained. His recommendations, he said, are always predicated upon the recommendation of the local county organization of the county in the office, the office of the president, or color of the heads of those county organizations. A majority of these chairmen and secretaries of county organizations, he said, are colored. Mr. Howard also declared that in every instance he requires an affidavit from the person recommended that he or she has paid no consideration to anyone in connection with the appointment. This is done, he said, for his protection against just such (Continued on Page Five) ALBEMARLE BANK CASHIER SENTENCED Elizabeth City, N. C.-W. H. Holland, former carlier of the Albemarle Bank which closed its doors on Christmas eve last, was sentenced to three years and nine months in the penitentiary on two counts with his sentences running concurrently, by Judge Henry A. Grady in Superior Court Tuesday, when tried upon charges growing out of the closing of the bank. Holland pleaded guilty to having made false entries in the bank's books and to have misapplied its funds. His testimony implicated N. E. Hart, former teller of the bank, who was immediately arrested and held under $15,000 bond. Mr. Holland declared he was being made the "goat." He denied having applied a cent of the bank's $50,000 shortest, his personal but would be manipulated its deposits in an effort to meet the bank's obligations. It was brought out at the trial that the former carlier himself closed the institution and sent for the bank examiner, then left for Indianapolis, Ind., where his sick wife with her children is. He returned here the day following Christmas, however, and was arrested on charges preferred by the bank examiner. FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO.

STEWART SCHOOL BOARD TO STIRS AUDIENCE EMPLOY THEM WITH LECTURE Writ of Mandamus Compels Washington Officials To Dismiss Two Incumbents And Hire Petitioners. Washington, D. C., Mar. 18.—The Board of Education must declare vacant the two positions in the armstrong Technical High School, which are being filled by Miss Susie V. Jennings, of 933 Westminster street, northwest, and Miss Elizabeth D. Burrell, of 1711 Eleventh street, northwest, and appoint the jackets of 1834 Ninth street, northwest, and Mrs. Mary Craft Cottrell, of 1850 Third St., northwest. Secures Writ A writ of mandamus commanding Board of Education, Supt Frank W. Bailou and Assistant Supt, Garnet C. Wilkinson to declare these positions vacant and appoint Miss Jackson was issued last week upon the order of Justice A. A. Hoehling. Her appointment will be effective as of February 14, 1924. The Jackson case, Corporation Counsel Stephens says, will control in the case of Mrs. Cottrell, except that Mrs. Cottrell was a public school teacher and was granted a leave of absence under the maternity rule. Contend Appointment Illegal In their suits against the Board of Education, Miss Jackson and Mrs. Cottrell contended that Miss Jennings and Miss Burrell were illegally appointed as teachers of domestic art in the Armstrong Technical High School in that they lacked the necessary qualifications. Miss Jackson and Mrs. Cottrell took a competitive examination on December 19, 1923, for a ment to work in the high schools. They passed this examination and were certified as eligible for appointment on February 14, 1924. They charged that they were being deprived of positions to which they were rightfully entitled to be appointed by Miss Jennings and Miss Burrell illegally filling them. Classes To Open For Deaf and Dumb Children The local school board is engaged in creating a list of deaf and dumb children in Norfolk and Newport News of school age with the view of furnishing the State Board of Education with data which is to be used in establishing educational classes for them in Norfolk. The State Board proposes to establish classes here for both the white and colored deaf and dumb children, where they can receive instruction similar to that offered in the Institute at Staunton. Parents of all children needing such instruction are asked to communicate at once with the school board, either by telephone or in writing, and it is of great importance that all names be sent in as soon as possible. Secures Writ "Why God Made Man" Subject Proves Highly Entertaining; Speaker's Explanations Simple, But Profound. The Rev. Dr. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C., brought to this city Sunday afternoon a lecture the equal of which is not often heard here on the subject: "Why God Made Man," on the occasion of Men's Day observation auspices of the (St. John) Church of the Society Dr. Stewart, a towering figure but lanky, possesses a persuasiveness calculated to capture the hearts of his auditors at once. And he certainly did that very thing Sunday afternoon. He approaches his hearers with such ease and assurance that they immediately become his friends and are delighted every minute he is speaking to them. The subject announced probably gave rise to the thought that a sensational lecture was to be heard. There was nothing of the kind in his speech, however. Indeed, the talk was beautiful for its simplicity—it was profound, polished and forceful—just exactly typical of the man delivering it. God is a sociable being and made man for companionship; God is a lovable being and made man to love; God made the earth and made man to complete its perfection, were the simple explanations of why God made man, outlined by Dr. Stewart. Yet, in outlining these simple explanations, he went into a most searching examination of man as a finite being and of God as infinite. With sweet persuasiveness, he would talk hearts to heart with his auditors and virtually astound them with what appeared to be unexposed truths. Just a few minutes of the lecture Dr. Stewart devoted to warning of young men and women who are thinking of marrying of the type of life partner to avoid, and to an exhortation of the men of the families to defend the honor of their women against every conceivable temptation or affront. He advised parents to place their children in the best environment, keep them in touch with higher things even at a sacrifice. He particularly advised the young men to steer clear of the young woman engrossed in the doings of society when he looks for a wife. He arraigned the society woman as about the most useless woman in the world, and he in turn warned the young women of the sheik type of young man. AT METROPOLITAN Bishop L. W. Kyle will hold an educational conference at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church on Tuesday March 23. This conference will comprise delegates from the Norfolk District which includes Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Sunbury and surrounding territory. Sessions will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday and 8 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Wadsworth, Republican, New York, Resents Allegati ons That American Occupation Is Tyrannous and Unjust DEMOCRAT SENATOR SPONSORS CHARGES Washington, D. C., March 18 — A memorandum by Percival Thoby, former Haitian charge d'affaires at Washington, and who represents the 61 committees of private citizens of Haiti, who are members of what is called "the Patriotic Union" of Haiti, was referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations upon the suggestion of Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, after Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., Republican, of New York, had indicated that he would move to expunge it from the record if it should be inserted. After the memorandum was read in the Senate, Senator Wadsworth objected to its insertion in the record on the ground that "it contains some extraordinary bitter denunciations of the policies of the United States Government, involving, among other things, the charge that the United States thru its policy has spread vice and corruption in this other country, and charging our Government and its agents with brutality to an extreme degree. Coming as it does from a foreigner, from a citizen or subject of another power, to me at least it is offensive." (Continued on Page Five) FAVORABLY REPORT COBB NOMINATION Washington, D. C., March 17. The nomination of James A. Cobb to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia was favored reported to the Senate Monday afternoon by the Judiciary Committee, to which it was referred. The action of the Judiciary Committee followed that of a sub-committee, which unanimously reported the nomination favorably to the full committee at its meeting Monday. The Judiciary Committee immediately ordered a favorable report to the Senate. The sub-committee held hearings last Friday and Saturday on the nomination for the Cobb. On Friday, William L. Matthew, William L. Houston, William C. Mathews, Benjamin L. Gaskins, Emmett J. Scott, J. Tsetel, Arthur G. Froe, and Ernest Lyons, of Baltimore, appeared before the committee in the interest of Mr. Cobb. Two persons appeared against him. They were J. C. Vaughn Todd and Thomas Johnson. Saturday afternoon Mr. Cobb himself appeared before the committee and made a favorable impression among members of the sub-committee were Senators Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois; Rice W. Means, Republican, of Colorado, and William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. CAMPAIGN FOR WEAVE ORPHAN HOME GOES TO WILLIAMSBURG A mass meeting is to be held at Williamsburg on March 21, in interest of the Weaver Orphan Home, of Hampton, in connection with the campaign to raise $5,000 to clear the indebtedness of the Home, which has been in progress in the cities of the State for the past several months. Mrs. Maud Weaver, Winston field agent of the Home is in Williamsburg now working up interest in the approaching meeting. She appears that indications point to an overwhelming success for her efforts. Other than cash donation expected primarily from the residents of the city, the people of the farms and rural districts are asked to contribute such things as cornmeal, flour, meat, dried fruit, peas beans and other staples, which may be used for food supplies for the orphans of the institution. FINAL COURT SCRAPS SLATED WILL BE HEATED AFFAIRS Finals of the Guide Basketball League will be staged at the Phyllis Wheatley Garden Monday night, March 25, at 7:30 p. m., in which all remaining games on schedule will be played, with the team winning the most games for the season accorded the league championship. These games will be full of interest and pep, as the two runners up, Booker Washington and Collegeian, are fully determined to check the march of the Community Flashy Five, which is now leading the league. These games are expected to have special features, the Community Five featuring Charlie Wilkins and the Fighting Bookers, Arnette Bibbins. These men are considered the best two performers in the league, each leading their teams, most times in highest points scored. Together with individual ability and all around team play, these hasketters have showed more flash than any other two men in the loop. Bibbins has the record of scoring the most points in a single game, tallying scores out of eight goals against the Community in their second meeting. Bibbins leads the league in individual scoring, having scored more than twenty points. Both the Norfolk A. C. and the Collegians will come around with a different brand of court game than has been displayed thus far. The former quint has not scored a victory this season and will make a fighting effort to wind up on top in one of its games Monday. A large crowd is expected to attend this game, and the four games will not have any effect on the dancing. The games will be cut so that they will be played off in time for the patrons to shake a wicked ankle. CLAFLIN ENDS CAGING SEASON CLAFLIN ENDS CAGING SEASON (McGhee News Service). Orangeburg, S.

CLARK DOWNS MOREHOUSE Winter returned to Atlanta full blast Friday night and on Saturday Morehouse's first game of the season was played to the accompaniment of stamping feet and the hurl glare of bon-fires. For the first time since 1918, Clark turned back the Maroon Hosts by the close score of 10-9. Rookie fingers made numb by cold messed up easy chances, the game being replete with walks, beaming and muffed flies and bonehead plays. But it was a great game for Clark. Only a few fans braved the cold but the whole town knew it before night-fall. *Score by innings:* R. H. E. Morehouse 202 121 001—9 5 8 Clark 151 100 101—10 5 Batteries: M. C.

Out of eight hard fought battles she has dropped only one. Her latest victory was achieved when she drudged Hill Avenue "Y" down to defend to the tune of 19-16. The game afforded thrill and pep from the tap off and the score was close at every point of the game. The locals were ahead at all times, however, with a two or three point lead. King Robinson started the fray with a dazzling shot from midfoot. Close guarding on both sides kept the score low during the first half. At the whistle the visitors were trailing a 7-6 score. The second period was even more furious than the first. The visiting association boys fighting hard to overcome the lead of the home team. With one and a half minutes to play, the score stood 17-4-6. The local team clinched the win when Brown intervened with a pass and dribbed down the floor for the final buzzer with only ten seconds to play. The work of Matthews and Shields at guard and Page at forward deserve special mention for the Baltimore boys, Robinson. Brown and Coles stood out for the local cagers. Robinson was high point man with six field goals and one free throw to his credit, while Shields of Baltimore was runner-up with six points. Line-up: Newport News 'Y', Baltimore 'Y'.

GANS' CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESS ENRAGED NELSON JOE GANS "THE OLD MASTER" GANS' LAST PUNCH FRACTURED ONE OF NELSON'S RIBS Every sports writer from the days of old until the present, chant the praise of Joe Gans, the master of them all, and no more proof is as conclusive as this, that the former lightweight champion was one of the greatest fighters that ever lived. the greatest ingenuity. It does not have to be vetoled that Battling Nelson, the "Durable Dane" conquered Gans when he was only a memory of his former self. So complete was Gans' mastery over his foe, that he was never ruffled in a fight. He usually ruffled his opponent by his, seeming indifference. Gans' last punch in that memorable fight with Nelson at Colma, a suburban of San Francisco, in which he told his followers that he could not last the forty-five rounds, was a crushing, short, right hand body blow that made Nelson squawed with pain. The Dane wanted to quit, the first time in his career, that he ever signified an intention that he was hurt or wanted to quit. He stated that all of his vibs had been broken. Later, it was discovered that one of his vibs was fractured. Before this third fight, Gans had been knocked out by Nelson in seventeen rounds and was staging a comeback, but the white plague had gained a firm hold on his, once little life and it was only a matter of time when he would go down. He promised to go twenty of the forty-five rounds in order to give his followers a chance to recover some of the money lost on the last fight, and told them to bet that way. In all three of the fights, Cans had Nelson beaten, almost before reception. Cans had body would not afford the steam in his invulnerable one away. It is said that Gans' last good punch paved the way for Nelson's defeat at the hands of Wolgast. FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEYA. JOHNSON, JR.

DRAWING THE LINE It is amusing, more so than alarming, to note that McDougal, a Negro legalized practitioner of the manly art of sock and flop has drawn the color line on his own kind, claiming that it is more luxurious to fight the little pink boys. Of course, it's quite true that there is more money in fighting white fighters, but why does one GREB WILL REC SECOND ME According to Jimmy D Forrest, veteran pugilistic trainer, Tiger Flowers, together with three other champions, will bite the resin dust e six more months have rumped down the pages.

Little Jimmy, further predicts that Flowers will lose his newly acquired crown to Harry Greb, former middleweight champion and one of former top clubs. DeForrest is credited the following quotation, "Flowers will be 'taken' by Greb in their second match, provided Harry gets himself in condition. If not, Dave Shade will get the colored boy in the ring, sooner or later, and simply smother him." Suggs Given Good Chance. Obviously, DeForrest thinks well of Chick Suggs, the New Bedford bantam socker. He says, "Rosenberg also finds the weight too much for him. His title would have to go, even if he happened to be a first class champion, which he is not. Chick Suggs can beat him. I imagine Fidel LaBarca could, too. Mons. James seems to feel confident that his peering into the far off future, which by the way isn't so far after all; will yield him returns with dividends. Marking Flowers down to take a drubbing at the hands of his twice victim, was done with full consciousness by Jimmy.

Everybody wants to make as much money as possible, but Mac, who no doubt, suffers with a complex of some kind, did not have to draw the line to meet the white boys. All he and his manager had to do was, try and get more white fights and take on the colored boys when there was something in it. The scraper's conclusion, decision or what not, might serve as a boomerang. Instead of getting more white fights and more money, he might get less fights of any kind an much less money. If the whites refuse to take him on and the colored boys, too, McDougall will find himself in a pretty warm place. GAIN TITLE IN ET WITH TIGER NORFOLK WHITE SOX IS READY FOR BUSINESS Somebody has begun talking baseball, and the strange thing about it is, it is real baseball that is being talked. According to information received, we might say, from an authoritative source, there will be some first class baseball displayed on the local lot. W. I. Fisher has vouchsafed that there will be a local team composed of some of the best talent available, domestic and the opposite, and this club will bear the name of Norfolk White Sox. The team will be made up of Walter Cason, cetime bright light of the Norfolk All-Stars and veteran coundsmaker; Lloyd Williams and Bob Tolliver, who have performed creditably for the Fighting Bookers, both on the baseball and football teams; Johnny Woodward, Joe Hudson, out-of-town stock, and Simon Rochelle, also a local baseballer. Fisher, who is manager of the nine, stated that he had already lined up the Brooklyn Cuban Giants for an engagement and promises to play some of the best teams available. If the plans of the local club run true to form, Norfolk stands in line to have something more than sandlot nill swapping. GAME S FISTICUFFER DR LINE ON BRO FISTICUFFER DRAWS COLOR LINE ON BROTHER BOXERS Philadelphia, Pa., March 18 (By The Associated Negro Press) — The manager of Fred McDougal, the promising colored heavyweight, has drawn the color line. The promoter of the Arena Boxing Club, on the hunt for an opponent for Jim Davis, the big African heavyweight, called on McDougal's manager after he was unable to secure someone to fight Davis. The manager said: "Although my fighter is colored, we have decided to draw the color line. There is more money in fighting white boxers." Last week, McDougal was matched to fight a promising white heavy at the New Broadway Club, but the white boy failed to appear. On his first appearance in this city, McDougal fooled the wise ones and stopped his white rival in jig time. He was looked upon as a set-up. This city, like the others, whose sport pages in their dailies are keeping up their prejudiced comment on the Flowers-Greb match, and like every daily in New York, the papers of this city predicted that Flowers would lose. And now that Flowers has agreed to give Greb a return match it hasn't slowed up the ugly comments in the least. It has been noticed that the fighters the white papers predict to win always are defeated. THE COLLEGIANS DROP FASTTILT TO HAMPTON BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. Getting off at a start and winding up with a burst of speed, carrying a heated fray to an extra period, the Collegians and Hampton Faculty members battled the high score of 20-16, was reached with the visitors on the heavy aid. Collegians were leading the way throughout the first half, amassing ten points, while the teachers were grabbing off four. This half was rather slow and void of much action, but the second session opened with a bang, when Davis, of the faculty fellows caged a neat pill from a difficult over-head angle before the half was more than a second old. This seemed to spur them to raise their sum of four points to eight. In the meantime, Collegians failed to tally and the Hampton team continued to romp until the count was evened. Layton came around to break the tie when Hampton failed, sinking a free throw and making the count 11-10, but seemingly the faculty caged and smelled the nectar of the victory, and incensed with the burning desire to take the bacon, gravy and all, back home, the visitors began sinking the ball with constant regularity. Having forged ahead in the count, through the shooting of the Vowel and Vowel count of the Hampton teachers, the Collegians were now doing the uphill fighting. With the game nearing its close, some very exciting things happened and they happened with a zip. Hampton leading the fray in the last minute and a half, by four points. Archer, intercepting a Faculty pass, evading a would-be guard, he sank the ball from beyond the free throw line to boost his team's total to thirteen points. With another half minute to play, Layton got in the clear, under his goal, receiving the ball on a pass, he politely dropped it in the cage and the count was fifteen all and the game was over, so far as the time was concerned. The even count necessitated a play-off. With five more minutes to go to decide the victor and vanguished, Davis arose to the emergency to tally first for his team. Brown came around to get a few more neat shots and boosted their scoring to twenty points, while the Collegians got only one more. Collegians failed to show any of its last half dash in this extra period and Hampton had an easy time forging ahead. Archer and Layton showed best for the Collegians, while Brown and Davis for the Hampton teachers romped away with the honors for their team. The other players performed creditably. Brown accounted for ten points for Hampton. Layton accounted for eight for his quint. Line-up Collegians—16 Hampton—29 Golden F. Davis Brown F. Brown Watkins G. Parker Archer G. L. Wilson Layton G.

Inc. arch Street PRESS AND PUBLIC ACCEPTED FLOWERS' VICTORY OVER GREB WITH GRACE AND EQUANIMITY BY LESTER A. WALTON (For the Associated Negro Press) "Tiger" Flowers of Brunswick, Ga. has been middleweight champion of the world for a fortnight. It is the first time in history a Negro has worn this fist crown. With the exception of a few Nordic writers the press and public have accepted Flowers' victory over Greb with equanimity, good grace, and in a spirit of true sportsman- Nerarchy reigns among the Negro population. Flowers' accession to the middleweight throne was woken no offensive outbursts. There have been no racial disturbances throughout the country. No highly indignant" white folks have been pushed off the sidewalk by "impudent" colored folk; nor has it been recorded that colored Americans are quitting on "superior air" styles strutting about in paecock fashion much to the irritation and discomfiture of "highly incensed" fellow white Americans. Self-restraint. This exhibition of self-restraint on the part of Negroes must be a bitter disappointment to hysterical white people who oppose mixed bouts on the grounds that they racial ill will. Perhaps the most guilleful article on the Flowers-Greb fight, and obviously published to discourage a match between Dempsey and Wills, was written by Mr. Brishane in the New York Evening Journal. The same jingoistic attitude toward the relations between the United States and Japan is observable in his lamentation against the meeting of white and colored fighters. He tells his readers there is no glory in mere brutality; that as an achievement the history of Flowers over Greb does not injure the white race nor help the black race, but adds fuel to race hatreds and fuels both races; that thoracic mass of white people will could lost a white champion, and the ignorant class of colored people will be clated to their own detriment and danger by Flowers' victory. Fails To Disclose. In what manner danger is lurking in the offing to greet the colored brother because of Flowers' victory, Mr. Brisbane does not easy to disclose. It is assumed he has inside information. If there is no glory in the Flowers' victory, as the Heast editor "authoritatively" states, why then assume the role of an alarmist and predict serious race clashes? Maybe Mr. Brisbane is too busy advertising Florida real estate where the unfriendly feeling against the Negro could hardly be more acute to study and learn Negro psychology. All the colored people I have heard comment on his editorial have read between the lines and pronounced it tummyrot. Instead of speculating about how "ignorant white people" and "ignorant colored people" will react to mixed bouts, which are nothing new, a real service would be rendered the nation by speaking out in no uncertain manner against the Klu Klux Klan which is doing more to arouse racial animosities than any other real monache to our peace and tranquility. Moreover, those engaged in fomenting these hatreds are not the "ignorant", but the "intelligent" Nordics, who profess to be follower of Christ. Fair On Subject. The editorial written by Mr. Brisbane does more to inflame the public mind and sow the seed of race hatred than a dozen mixed bouts.

It is refreshing and inspiring to read what the majority of sports writers on the New York dailies have to say on the Greb-Flowers night. Without a doubt, they are the fairest on the subject of mixed bouts in America. To these gentlemen of the press the public in general and the Negro race in particular are particularly indebted for the sentiment existing in New York today relative to the staging of fights between white and colored men. Important Factors. Two factors contributed to make the Flowers-Greb match possible the New York Boxing Commission and the New York sports writers. The Boxing Commission is deserving of praise for bringing about the setto. Yet it cannot be forgotten that the Commission reversed itself and only consented to Flowers getting a chance to win the middleweight title after the newspaper men had set up a mighty howl) demanding fair play for the mission could have been unmovable as they were in the agitation led by the press for smoking in New Madison Square Garden had they been so disposed. So let us be impartial and give credit where credit is due. Eight out of ten sports writers believe the "color line" bugahano has been given a solar plexus, an opinion formed after noting the philosophical way in which the public accepted Greb's defeat. They are demanding a fight between Dempsey and Wills and say the only hitch in arranging the classic is the heavyweight champion. Don't Know Human Nature Self-appointed guardians of "Nordic superiority" who shudder at the thought of a Negro again becoming heavyweight champion, and are unduly finicky about "Nordic prestige", don't know human nature. The white man's prestige has suffered more because of Dempsey's reprehensible actions which have aroused a suspicion that he is afraid to meet Wills than if he had been knocked out by the Harlem fighter. All the world respects a fighter, but all the world hates a coward. And he never proved his superiority by running away. His unquestioned eminent status in the civilized world today has been due to meritorious accomplishment, not evasion, inaction, and inaptitude. Either white and colored men must continue to fight for championship belts or there must be "white heavyweight champions" and "colored heavyweight champions", etc. Might Stop Other Bouts. If the narrow-minded Nordies were able to stop mixed bouts their next move would be to have banned lights between Italians, Jews, Irish, Germans, and Greeks to keep down race friction. There is such a thing as pride of race. It is natural, therefore, for members of the various groups to whoop 'em up for one of their own held in high esteem as an exponent of the manly art. But this display of partisanship seldom reaches the offensive stage. Because the average American is too good a sport and too good a loser. JOHN A.

ABRAMISON (For New York Herald-Tribune) New York—New Utrecht High School's champion team of athletes continued its unbeaten career in local track and field competition by winning De Witt Clinton's twenty-fifth annual indoor meet at the 102D Engineers Armory with a total of 27 points. Stuyvesant High School finished second with 14 points and James Madison and Boys' High tied for third with 11 tallies apiece. The Clinton trophy was the seventh team prize that has fallen to the Benshurst school boys during the present indoor campaign. Wildermuth's feat was one of the highlights of a meet which produced consistently fine performances. Gus Moore High School, turned a mile in 4:32-2:5; Otto Rosner, of New Utrecht, won his half-mile race in 2:05-3:5; Eddie Everard, of Stuyvesant, cleared 5 feet 10 inches in the running high jump, and Frank Lakes, of New York, cleared 5 feet 12 inches a distance of 51 feet 3% inches. All four are P. S. A. L. champions and they came through victoriously as expected. Moore Runs Under Difficulties. Moore's mile in 4:32 2-5, one of his best indoors, was made under difficulties. The B. H. S. star broke from the line near the tail-end of the field of thirty. He raced to the front before a full lap had been covered, and then left his rivals so far behind that he had to weave in and out as he lapped one after another of the other school boys in the last three laps. He won by a half a lap from Alfred Erda, of Poly Prep, whose sprint in the last 100 yards gained him second place over Jackson, of Gorton High. The school boys don't step aside to let the star through on the rail, as they do in the A. A. U. races, and Moore, on a clear track, could have clipped at least three seconds from his time.

The group came in response to an invitation sent out by the followmen:- Messrs. Wm. M. Rich, Eugene Diggs, A. B. Green, F. Bradley, G. Hamilton Francis, B. Young, S. O. Fields, E. D. Dale, F. R. Trigg and R. C. Daven. An enthusiastic meeting was in spite of the fact that the other outside was the worst of winter. The name adopted in Business and Professional clubs of Norfolk. The purpose outlined briefly by the committee was to provide means of closer association with the business and professions, to create a greater interest in each other's vocations and take a firmer stand in regard things pertaining to our civic economic welfare.

Question Box Questions pertaining to business problems and routine matters will be carefully answered in this column. Address your inquiries to "Business Question Box" Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va. Q. What is meant by heir property.—W. A. Young. A. "Heir property"—the bugaboo of some of our people in buying real estate in the sense it is commonly used, means that property that cannot be sold with a clear title because of the claim of some heir (whereabouts unknown) has to it. Although cases of genuine 'heir property' are rare, the matter is sufficiently important for all of us to know when to look out for it. If John Jones owns a piece of property, and dies without a will, leaving a letter bearing five children, he or the latter bequeaths, unless the courts are reported to that property cannot be sold until that child becomes of age, and each of the remaining children signs the deed. Any one legitimate heir whose name is linking on a deed of conveyance prevents a clear title. Q. Is it true that the laws of this state hold me responsible if I permit a man to ride in my car with some whiskey on his person, although I was not aware of it? Chauffeur A. Yes, under the Layman Act, you would be held responsible. That is one reason the custom of picking up unknown persons on the roads is unsafe. Visit Mme. Elliott's Beauty Salon Poro System taught.

Mr. Porter stated that he has known in several instances where Negro school boys and girls went out of their way to spend their money with one of their Race. The subject of our sketch feels that the next big job ahead of the Negro merchants of Norfolk is to organize and buy their produce in pools, thus being able to give the buying public still lower prices. The Writer's Impressions M. Porter impressed the writer as being a pleasant, affable, courteous business man. While interacting with the writer had occasion to notice the efficient and polite way he treated his customers both over the counter and telephone. The right 'stuff' is in him, and success will ultimately be his. Our Economic Future Demands That Race Patronize Him Perhaps no man is better able to judge the pulse of a neighborhood of people than the corner grocer. The average colored American home finds cause to send to the grocery store three and four times every day in the week. In this most important commercial enterprise, Negro Norfolk is exceedingly backward. There are hundreds of stores in our sections, some places, one in the four corners of a street interseer. But when one looks for grocery stores run by Negro grocers, no quotation serves better than Browning's—Here and there a star dispels the darkness'; for one can count on his fingers the first-class Negro grocery establishments of this city. Past Criticism This condition, to some extent, is due to the kind of places our grocers would conduct in decades gone by. Their stores were usually dark, dingy and unclean; a hangout for all the undesirables—Most old and old of the neighborhood. Most everything the display was unknown, and the array of display was unknown, each commodity carried cost from two to five cents more than the prevailing market price. To injury, insult was added; for the Negro grocer of old times was insolent, discounted and in some cases, dishonest. Competition and the rising tide of intelligence have given us a different type of groceryman today. He is clean, efficient, business-like; his store is generally fully stocked. His prices are the market prices of the day, and in some instances lower than those of his formidable competitors. He is affable, courteous, polite; and goes out of his way to serve his customers. Due Patronage The grocer of olden days appealed for patronage on the grounds of color—the new groceries appeals to, and that his goods compare favorably with that offered by his competitors. We do not hold that at these conditions hold good in every grocery store; but what we do say is that when Negro grocers run a clean, sanitary well-behaved business and it offer service like other stores, it is our DUTY to patronize them. And speaking of sanitation and cleanliness, the majority of our people trade with grocers of a different race whose places are positively filthy and repulsive. Prices do not attract them there either, for except in cases of meat that is near the point of rottenness, prices are of a higher quality than in Negro or chain stores. In fact, it is hard to say just what is the attraction, unless it is the sugared and honeyed words coming from the lips of men and women of a fairer face at our people's expense.

ENTERPRISING GROCER DIDN'T STOP AT FAILURE Forty-eight years ago, one of Negro Norfolk's most enterprising grocers was born in Hertford County, N.C. His early life was devoted to hard work and bitter experiences; both of which made a sturdy foundation for the work in which he is now engaged. He was compelled to stop his education after his first year in High school; but what might have been a stumbling block to the less determined, he converted into a stepping stone to real manhood; the years he would have spent in furthering his schooling, he used in the making of that world-renowned product—a self-made man. Eight years ago, he opened a first class, well-stocked, attractive grocery and feed store on the corner of Chapel and Goff. All went smooth there until the Great War came with it's aftermath. Porter had too many账 account on his books that could not be converted into cash. As a result, he was forced to close down that stand. But being a firm believer in that saying: "A man may be down, but he is never out," he reopened his business about two years ago at his present stand No. 1246 Chapel Street, between Preston and Winter Streets. Today, Porter conducts a wholesale and retail hay, grain, feed, fancy and green grocery business. Upon being asked to make a few observations on Negro business in general, Mr. Porter stated that the average Negro failed to patronize Race enterprises as he should. He stated that a large number of our people practiced the very unfair method of running charge and their bills assumed huge proportions; after which they take their business to cash and carry stores and refuse to pay off the bad bills. "Large losses," he said, "are suffered every year by Negro merchants through these practices. The service colored merchants render the public today equals and sometimes surpasses that of other stores. The Negro merchant is courteous and fair, he conducts a sanitary, honest business and goes to work every day. In the case of deliveries, for instance, I and I dare-say, the other colored grocers of Norfolk, find that delivery service is a dead loss, yet in an attempt to serve our people in every way possible, we deliver. The Negro merchant of today takes pride in carrying an up-to-date, clean-appearing stock of goods; and his prices average the same as those of the chain stores. If our people would give us the patronage they should, we could offer them even better service." Mr. Porter sees a great future ahead for the Negro grocery business; he believes that the brightest spot in the horizon is the attitude of the younger Negro toward Ne- Roland Tate's BARBER SHOP Messaging Haircut Shaving Special Attention Paid to Children and Ladies' Work ROLAND TATE, Prop. 1603 Church St. Norfolk, Va.

JOHNS Portsmouth, Va. Let us pray and "pray without ceasing!" Mr. Editor, I am glad to know that you are a man of God and a believer in prayer, so I feel free to ask space for a word, calling the colored people of Virginia to prayer. In 1 I am, 1, 2, and 3 we are called to pray as follows: "I exhort therefore, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men; 2. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour." Not only the colored people are called, but all races which wish to live and lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and honesty. We, the people of Virginia, wish to live in harmony, peace and goodwill one toward the other. We should know no race in striving and praying for peace. There is, at present, a bill before the Virginia Legislature known as the Massenburg Bill, which if passed and becomes a law, will break peace nad stir up strife among all races in the State and out of the State. It is the most far-reaching bill, in its evil effects ever brought before the law-makers of the State, that is already creating ill feelings between the races, and it is making strife among the white people. It is not reasonable, Mr. Editor, to believe that our lawmakers mean to make bad laws, but in their efforts, like all other people—sometimes make mistakes. Therefore we must pray for our law-makers, executives, and all that are in authority. The colored peo- Spring Bargains VIRGINIA R.

The colored people cannot say this. We, in all our ways must acknowledge Him, and He will direct our paths. Prov. 3:6. We must go to Him first, last and all the time. We are called in Matt. 5:44,45 to love our enemies, to bless them that curse us, do good to them that hate us, and pray for them that despitefully use us, and persecute us, that we may be the children of our Father which is in Heaven.

PASTOR TELLS OF DEBTS OF HONOR AFTER HIS DEATH SAYS PEOPLE, WHILE LIVING, SHOULD MAKE PROVISIONS FOR TAKING CARE OF THEIR OBLIGATIONS OF HONOR. "Duty and honor, as well as duty and love," said Rev. Richard H. Bowling last Sunday night, "persist after one is dead. Therefore the need for inclusion's pledges and other contracted obligations of honor for settlement on the authority of his will. Heirs have a peculiar way of ignoring just that, not specifically men-tured, and in cases where legal steps would for reasons of courtesy or expedency not be taken." The speaker was preaching on what he wanted done with his estate in the event of his death, another special sermon in his present series on A Christian's Will. Continuing, he declared, "Specific mention should CALL TO VIRGINIA BAPTISTS To The Churches and Individuals affiliated with the Virginia Baptist State Convention in the Work of Christian Education: Dear Brethren: The 59th Annual Session of the Virginia Baptist State Convention will be held with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Church, Vow, Rev. D. O'Garry, E. D. pas, Rev. Wednesday, May the 12th, 9 a.m., through Sunday the 16th, 8 p.m., 1926. Our Lord is graciously leading us on through the year to that virtual moment when at the tap of the gavel a throng shall rise to His honor and a multitude of voices shall be raised to His glory and praise for another year of blessings on His Churches. Let every church, throughout our territory, affiliated with our work have a messenger present at that sacred hour, not some time during the session, at that hour, with a gift in his hand and praise on his lips for our King. Let every church hold a special service as soon as you get this letter for the success of the coming session of our Convention, and then repeat this during the Convention week. Remember this quarter of a million dollar drive launched during last session of our Convention was an eminent necessity. Our great program of missions and education demands that we rise in our might and put it over. The effort is worth while. A sacrifice just here is worth the making. Let churches and individuals do their very best. We should raise fifty thousand dollars this year; and to do this, each church and individual should do a little more than usual. You have heeded us in a very fine eight years; but a call. I pray you, heed this call. This call is fraught with no necessity. The times are eminently propitious. The various groups fostering educational movements throughout the country are pouring out their gifts as never before. We too must do the noble thing. To the task my brethren, put it over, let our God have the glory and our people the blessings. Pres. Va. Bapt. State Convention CARD OF THANKS I want to take this means of expressing to my friends and neighbors my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their many acts of kindness during the illness of my dear son, Robert W.

At stake. At 8 o'clock the pastor spoke from the Memory and Ideals. "One's provision for his relatives is based not only on his affection for them but his faith that they may thus be better placed for perpetuating his memory and carrying on his ideals. Therefore, the wisdom, when relatives are reasonably provided for, of remembering some one or more organizations or institutions which through his generosity will be better able to continue their good work and his. "Gifts to worthwhile and permanent organizations will keep your name alive and your ideals in practice when ordinary monuments have crumbled and one's little life will be forgotten. Think of the poor little attempts at immortality in the cemeteries, little concrete and cheap stone mournments that perish before one's bones. The same money held in trust by a church or a school or a mission board or other welfare agency would be living green upon one's grave for centuries. "Even if the records of your name and gift were destroyed, the work of character-building and kingdom-spreading would go on. And that is what the Christian is interested in. Elijah, Jesus and Paul held their spirits and character. And Jesus making disposition for the care of his widowed mother left her no more money or property, but what was their best equivalent, the love and tender care of John whom He wished to take His place. Also, the immediate followers of these men built them no monuments. But see how they became heritors of what these men stood for and preserved them in their ideas for the admiration and love of all time." At the close of this sermon the pastor announced that he would preach the final sermon based on his will at the service this Sunday night. "First Baptist Church At The Subject of this sermon. A number of baptisms are scheduled to follow the morning sermon. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Many persons came to this church last Sunday to worship. Early morning prayer meeting was very lively. At 9:30 A. M. the Sunday School and a fairly good number of teachers and scholars were present. Following teaching of the lesson, each class made an excellent report. The Adult Class still holds the banner. At 11:30 the pastor preached an sermon from 11:30 to 12:00. In the Rev. Dean and his congregation worshipped here and rendered fine services. B. Y. P. U. rendered a good program at the regular hour. At night the pastor preached the annual sermon to the Sons and Daughters of Moses. Next Sunday the pastor will preach both morning and evening. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. Very good services were held at Allen Chapel on last Sunday. Sunday school was conducted at the regular hour, after which the pastor preached from 1st Cor. 5:7. At 3 o'clock various choirs of the city assembled here and redefined a creditable program. On Sunday, March 21, Men's Day will be observed at this church, and the members and pastor call for 1,000 men to attend. The program will be rendered by some of the best local talent. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH Early morning prayer meeting was well attended here Sunday, and was highly spiritual. The Sunday school is putting on all possible effort to conduct an appropriate Easter program. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Rev. V. V. K. Stokes, preached from his project, Jesus' House. In the pastor's House $510.00. The pastor emphasized the importance of worshiping in and patronizing God's house. His sermon was impressive to his hearers. Holy Communion was administered at 3:30 by the pastor, assisted by Rev. L. Sharp and Rev. W. G. Sharp, visiting ministers, also Rev. W. Mr. Eleander. At 6 o'clock B. Y. P. U. convened and Mr. Gregory, an esteemed friend of the church, opened the discussion of the topic. At 8 o'clock the pastor spoke from the subject, "Association With Jesus," Acts 4:13. In this sermon the Rev. Mr. Stokes pointed out that Jesus is the example to follow through life's career, and those who follow Him must give up the way of the world and turn to righteousness. MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH Services on last Sunday were very well attended. The Sunday school, which began the day's services, was very interesting, the teachers and scholars being thoroughly absorbed with the lesson study. The communic services at 3 o'clock were highly spiritual. At this hour the pastor spoke from John 13:11, urging upon his hearers the necessity of being clean, because God is possessed of the power to see into the human heart. The Christian Endeavor is progressing nicely. The regular revival begin at night with a prayer and praise service conducted by the pastor. Sunday afternoon, March 21, the pastor will preach a special sermon to women. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION Last Sunday was communion day at this church and many of the members were present to receive the sacred elements. On Monday night a quartete contest was held. The costumes were beautiful and a very good program was rendered by Miss Johnson, little Misses Willie Wilson and Richard Lee Dugner. On Sunday morning the Sunday school was held in the school. Last Sunday the school started a cross-country race. The get-off was greatly hindered by the inclement weather, however the "Ford," Athenian Class, D. L. Lynn, teacher, made a start of 15 miles. Several other classes moved up to 5 or 10 miles. In this race every member counts 10 miles; an increase in collection, 5 miles; a visitor 5 miles; 100 per cent attendance; 10 miles. Each class has a car and the race is to be full of thrills. Rev. A. F. Gussom preached at the morning service Sunday last. He spoke of the coming of Christ to a fair sized audience. S, C, TEACHERS TO MEET AT COLUMBIA --- Orangeburg, S. C., March 15—The State Association of Negro Teachers of South Carolina, which convenes at Columbian, March 18, 19 and 20, will be without a precedent. These three days will be brimming full of information-giving and information-receiving because those who are amply prepared to impart will be present, as well as those who are able and anxious to take in. The meeting opens properly with a welcome by Mayor Coleman. Featuring the three days' program are lectures by Dr. H. A. M. Morgan, University of Tennessee; Mr. J. B. Felton, State Agent of Negro Schools; Honorable James H. Hope, State Superintendent of Public Instruction for South Carolina; and Dr. R. S. Wilkinson, president, State College for Negroes in North Carolina. President Wilkinson will talk on "Educational Progress of Negroes in South Carolina." Of no lesser importance will be the address of the Miss Mary McSkimmon, president of the National Education Association. (By Associated Negro Press) Pine Bluff, Ark., March 18—Because she had heard that Mrs. Flora Butler had been talking about her, Mrs. Ruth Scott secured a shotgun and killed Mrs. Butler when she came to her house to call. Mrs. J. F. Jordan was called to Durham Wednesday night on account of the sudden death of her sister. ANOTHER PASTOR ACCORDS WITH BOWLING'S IDEA Rev. R. H. Bowling's recent sermon telling how he'd like his funeral conducted has struck Rev. O. J. Allen, another prominent local minister, as being very practical, indeed, and has elicited Rev. Allen's approbation in a letter which he sends the Journal and Guide, addressed to the Rev. Mr. Bowling. Particularly does the Rev. Mr. Allen disapprove of Sunday funerals as a practice, as he does of lengthy resolutions of condolence, obituaries and the like. His letter to the Rev. Mr. Bowling follows: 813 Henry St. Norfolk, Va. March 16, 1926 "Rev. R. H. Bowling "First Baptist Pastoral Home, Norfolk, Va. "My dear Fellow-Minister: I rejoice greatly that I can write you with the hope of receiving an answer in your own hand writing, and not from the land of spirits. As a rule I never bother writing or speaking to men 'after the funeral'. Although you have had yours or rather preached your funeral, I am glad we can sing. 'And are we yet to live to see each other's face.' "I read in the Journal and Guide, our greatest. Nego newspaper, a few days ago a write up of your funeral service. While this is something 'new under the sun,' yet I must congratulate you on having the initiative to let the people know publicly before you die the exact arrangements you want carried out at your funeral. If this was not known until you had passed out, many would not understand and would rise up and condemn your wife for having your wishes adhered to. My predecessor, Dr. P. J. Wallace received his funeral before death and I am told that many took exception to the arrangement, but the widow stood firm, the church backing her. Your reference to reviewing bodies in church and reading a multiplicity of resolutions was timely. Many people live in the same house, same street, the same community and while they live they see them pass frequently and never cheer to the poor pilgrim, then after death they come with a whole arm full of 'whereas' to be read at the funeral to give some notoriety. While some resolutions are appropriate and timely, too many become monotonous. "Now as to reviewing bodies in the church, this has been discarded in most of the larger cities and even in many small towns. It works a hardship on the family and tends to deepen their sorrow—for many pass and make expressions which do not console but intensify their grief. Furthermore it consumes much time. Very often it takes longer to review the body than to preach the funeral. Again many families in poor stances are forbidden to have more friends—for the reason that the public will look on and say, 'They sure put him away nice—didn't he look natural—when often the case is that all the man left he is buried in it and nothing is left for a poor wife and children. First Calvary Church discourages gorgeous funerals. As to reviewing bodies in the church—this has not been done in our church for two years. Furthermore all personal resolutions are passed to the family. Very seldom a funeral lasts one hour in our church. "A funeral should not be a place for soloists to contest, nor lodges and societies to make big displays—but simple, brief and impressive to the living to make preparation for this momentous time. "Our stand on this has brought us much criticism in Norfolk, but as ministers and leaders of the people we must take a stand and bring the people to it. "I do not remember whether you arranged your funeral for Sunday or not, but this is no longer necessary in First Calvary. There are cases which of necessity must be held on Sunday, but very often in Norfolk people die on Monday and they keep the SACRED MUSIC At ST. JOHN A. SUNDAY, MAR By St. Jo MRS. ROBERT J.

Pastor ADMISSION FREE Powell's Revelations Of Race Intermixing Further Reviewed COND SECTION By J. A. ROGERS my last article I pointed out where was much opposition to By 2. In my last article there was much so-called security bill because it will be in much territory. The State would have had a job in instituting its jimmy accommodations or rather of accommodation. Among that would be classed to the colored accession to the second Newsletter (white) in 9. would be: a United PETER B. w six senators, a United States senator to France, two secretes of war, two presidents of the United States, five generals, three the most distinguished living novelists, three governors of Virginia, a speaker of the House of Representatives, t two oars, three congressmen, one admiral, two judges of the Virginia supreme court, and many the foremost officers of the moderate army." Some of these dead men have no doubt The bill, as passed by the house, has been considerably modified, interesting feature of it is the ruling which Asiatics are not affected but native and foreign diplomats are grosses. The non-white foreign persons who unintelligible to citizenship in this country. That is, if you can't become a citizen of the United States you are O. K.! The Last Stand To continue my review of the relations of race-mixing, culled an official documents by John Sowell, the dark-skinned Nordic minister for a 101 per cent cilent white. The articles, if published, in a Negro in parts of the South, would probably have brought the job at his heels. Speaking of Montgomery County Sowell writes: "In this country there is a considerable group of near-white mixes, who are beginning to outread into other communities, although they vigorously assert their claim to a white status, the white people have never allowed it. It would be almost impossible if they are correctly recorded in the statistical statistics of the State. The registrals would meet with serious violence were they to re-identify other than white. A citizen of Blacksburg stated that it would be necessary to take company of troops into the section were any attempt made to record them properly." Case No. 2 is a group of mixed Indian, white and Negro 'descended' from slaves who had removed their native localities," who call themselves Indians. Some of these people in neighboring counties succeed in "passing" and in marrying whites." A county official says, "I list them as colored people, but it makes them mad to be listed. I know they are not white, and I know that some of them have married into white families." Another case tells of a man who claimed that he was white, but the claim was never allowed," who inhabited with several white women of the neighborhood other than his wife, having several children, who "make no such claim, but associate with Negroes, and several then have married Negroes." Case 8 is of "n white woman, five children and living with a husband, with a wife, white, gave birth to a mulatto child. As the husband apparently accepted the child as his own the wife could not do otherwise than make out the white birth certificate." She objected, however, to the director of the city bureau, who in his report to the district registrar说 "I hesitate to change the birth certificate, but several weeks ago Mrs. X was convicted of unlawful habitation with Y, and plead guilty —" Yet, he giving many instances as these the writer continues as to the which, by the way, if he would, be so scorned for Negroes. If one word of "Negro blood" could knock out ninety-nine of "white blood," would not show the extraordinary strength of the former? And since when has strength become something to be blamed of? Slave and A White Woman In another congressional district is the case of a slave who mostly before the Civil War ran away with a white woman, "who afterwards bore mulatto twins, both female. Owing to their white maternal, the twins passed for white and both married white men. From these unions have brought two large groups, t h e second the N—s. There are also white R—s and N—s in the family, but almost passes human amenity to distinguish the white S—s and N—s, from the mixed S—s and N—s. In other cases deal with white women, who have presented their husbands with colored children, another who had several white children and one colored, of which the butter is believed to be the father. Thrown In Hog-pen this case in another district is interesting: "Case No. 1, Loudon county (on file in the State records). A near-white baby was born to a Negro servant and was placed on the mother in the pig-pin to be devoured by the hogs. The employer of the servant discovered the baby and rescued it. It was a girl. The cria was adopted by a childless white couple, is now about twenty years old, her blue eyes were parents took her to another locality where she is now living and associating with white people." Other cases of white women, presenting their husbands with mulatto children are recorded. The husband of one of them "was absent from home for some time, and the woman bore a mulatto child." Having given other similar cases one of them from Stafford County (on file in the State records) in which both the wife and the daughter of a white man bore children for the same Negro the child of whom above presents the most ghastly evidence of the increasing frequency of the birth of mix-breed children to white women . . . Formerly such cases were rare even among the lowest grades of whites." Zeal of No Avail Of another district the writer says: "Although no district in the state excels the Ninth in zeal for race integrity, the infrequency of the danger has resulted in a proportionate relaxation of watchfulness in guarding the color line. Hence negrish near-white from West Virginia and Kentucky, and negrish mixed Indians from Tennessee, "Real-bones" and self-styled "Cherokees" from North Carolina have easily succeeded in 'passing'. A similar situation exists along practically the whole border of the state. We have seen already how rapidly mix-breed descendants of one individual can multiply and how easily and widely they may be distributed." After giving other cases of Indians discovered to be of mixed white and Negro ancestry the writer cites the case of a Negro who after the Civil war "came to Y county and bought the home of a prominent family. Three granddaughters of this man have married white men. These white men are of prominent families and well connected. One of them has no children. The other two are men of political and financial prestige. They have children. These two men and their prominent kinspiece are exerting great pressure on their children into the most refined and cultured associations. They even had the assurance to send a lawyer to Richmond in 1924 to use his influence to prevent the passage of the racial integrity law. "The case offers additional evidence that social position and wealth give no assured protection against the infusion of negroid blood. What has happened to families who happen to any family in Virginia." In his summary and conclusion Powell says in part: "The purpose of the forging articles has been to show that the forces leading to amalgamation are not confined to isolated communities in the State but are common to all ten congressional districts and to a common in the distribution. We have seen that the spread of the evil has not been merely geographical, but social, until it has, in a few instances, shown itself in every register of the social gamut. Most astonishing has been the evidence discovered of the disintegration of the psychological basis of the line, namely, racial self-respect or self-esteem, and of white men marrying colored women and of white women marrying or illicitly interbreeding with colored men. "This is the most appalling and threatening feature of the situation, and immediate steps for the control must be taken. The color-line in America has been more permanent in than in any other instance in history. The reason for this has been the strong tendency to place all mixed breeds on the colored side of the barrier. Both recently owned and recently acquired mix breeds have been born to coloured women and as the law provided that illigitimate children take the color of their mother, these mix-breeds even when possessing sufficient white blood for white classification, were regarded as colored. The situation changes, however, when the illegitimate mix-breeds are born of white mothers . . . The evidence of the increase of this crime among white women cannot be taken too seriously. . . Equally revolting is the compliance shown in some of the cases by the white husbands of such women . . . "Why drag forth from its concealment all this filth and rottenness to the offense of the sensitive eyes of dainty nostrils? God is good and verily all men are brothers. Let us ignore what is unpleasant, or at least recognize it only to the extent of applying a coat of whitewash. There are many who think and speak in this manner. "Incomparable folly! When has whitewash proved efficacious. " Now the above expose by Powell is a graphic picture of what has been going Virginia and through the South of the country three hundred years. And going on, too, in spite of all that an equally long line of Powels, Coxes, Coplands, Bleases, Tillmans, Vardamans, Dixons, have been able to do. This thing to anyone possessing an intellect above the prehistoric grade of a rhinoceros would then appear is fixed in nature, and nature, as the poet savs, though driven out with a pitchfork, will always return. Men and women, TENNESEE EDITOR AND PUBLISHER TWENTY YEARS WESTER L. PORTER Editor and Publisher of the East Tennessee see News (Special to Journal and Guide) Knoxville, Tenn.—In announcing plans for the issuance of a "Special Twentieth Anniversary Edition," of the East Tennessee News, which will show the phonemal progress of many institutions operated and owned by members of the racial group. The section of the country Tennesseeans point with particular pride to the accomplishments of Webster L. Porter, the editor and publisher of the newspaper that has been published continuously over a period of a score of years. Mr. Porter enjoys the distinction of having launched the East Tennessee News in 1906, at which time he was only eighteen years of age, and during the entire twenty years, he has successfully managed publication with the new populist national circulation and is recognized as one of the most effective contenders for racial recognition published by and for Negroes. Without the usual financial assistance that is given most publications, Editor Porter was dependent only on the actual receipts from the sale of subscriptions and advertising and today the East Tennessee News has a printing plant valued at $25,000 and located in a large building near the main business section of the city, that was purchased as a home for the publication more than five years ago. The institution has the largest weekly pay roll of a business establishment of the racial group in the entire section of East Tennessee, and employment is given to scores of young men and women of the race in the different departments of the news paper plant. At a publisher at eighteer, a voter at eighteen and a Mason at eighteen²³ is the record that the erudite editor has established and he tells of having exercised his fran- who meet every day, even if they do meet only as servants and master, are going to have their likes and dislikes, their loves and hates, and their intimate associations. Will passing a law—a thousand laws hinder this. This type, it has pared its heels and pared its tacs has been about as effective in preventing ransomers as the car that runs helping an express train; or a prohibition agent who sets out to take the gin out of Virginia. Whether race-mixing is good or bad is entirely out of the question. One thing is sure that men of this type have succeeded in doing but one thing: in fostering a tremendous amount of immorality. They are promoters of bad citizenship. Inheritors of the slave-holding spirit they and doing all they can do to the chains and sexual voyages on their fellow-citizens, for no other reason than a difference of complexion. Their so-called African colonization plan they well-know can preserve only as a decoy for ignorant and gullible Negroes. Virginia took perhaps the lead in making it difficult for the Northern labor agent to recruit labor during the great Negro migration. Now it is going to have a change of mind to the extent of furnishing millions of dollars to send them "back" to Africa! The great objective of the men above-mentioned has been to keep the white woman out of the mixing, and they have failed, significantly according to historical records. All one time there was law that the white woman or married a Negro, escaped slave for life with her husband, and that so worked but to encourage such marriages. (See documentary evidence in "Beginnings of Miscegenation, Journal of Negro History.") Hundreds of similar laws have been passed. The law habit is but another dope habit. "Pass the bill," wailed Copeland to the Senate, "or were lost." "Just one shot more," pleads the dope fiend, "and I'll be a man again." FENTRESS Fentress, Va.—Services at the Weeping Mary Baptist Church were well attended Sunday. A large audience greeted the pastor, Rev. W. P. Jones, at 1 o'clock, who preached a practical sermon from Matt. 9:30, 10. The Christmas Savings Club, plunging into people here, "Mrs. R. Help is able to be out again." Mrs. Quiet Jarvis is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Mary Williams, of Campostella, who is sick. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Says Segregation of Races Will Not Settle World Color Problem The Children Of Men Are One Common Family And Political, Cultural and Economic Forces Break Down Barrier The progress made by the African race in America, whether pure or mixed blood, is conclusive evidence that the 4,700,000 Bantu Africans of the South African Union have as great a capacity for development as any other section of the human race, points out the Christian Science Monitor in an editorial under the caption "The Color Problem in South Africa." This vast population of blocks is no longer content to remain disfranchised bewers of wood and drawers of water and their discontent is making a new and difficult color problem in the Union, according to the Monitor, which must be settled by the principles of tolerance and commonsense. The color problem of South Africa will not be settled by segregation, thinks the Monitor, which declares: "The various races have somehow to learn to live together in justice, into the Blue Lodge of Masons. into the Blue Lodge of St. James. The fine cooperation that has been given the effort of the publisher in planning the special anniversary publication, which is to be off press Thursday, April 29, next business, of leaders in business, educational, religious and fraternal circles, of the racial group in particular and prominent men and women of national and international affairs in general, is ample evidence of the excellent recognition which the Tennessee publication enjoys and is further complimented to the success which the publisher has enjoyed in winning recognition to the East Tennessee News. The anniversary number now being compiled by a group of experienced newspaper men representing the east, west and south, will carry not less than forty-eight pages, six sections of eight pages each, and will be looked forward to with much interest because of the fine historical data showing the growth of racial institutions. THE COLORLESS RADIO WAVE [By William Pickens] The joke is, that a lot of white folks do not know they are listening to a colored artist when they "tune in". The radio dissipates color—and that is at least one use of the radio. Colored artists are singing and playing to audiences which they could not reach in person,—we mean, where they would not be admitted in person. We will not give the correct names here, for obvious reasons, but let us tell you a joke, using the often say, as they listen over radio: "You know, Madam Celestin always does that jazz like a real Negro," or more cearsily: "She can give you an exact imitation of a nigger blues singer." The radio managers understand the weakness and the financial hazard of American race prejudice—therefore, they never announce that the said artist is a Negro and they usually use fictitious and foreign-sounding names as a further over-up, in a more urban city who is being merely worked to death "broadcasting" piano music and voice, both popular and classical. Her given name is a foreign sounding thing but her last name is very common: let us say Polonissia Johnson. She has no other name, just these two words. But how do they announce her over radio? "Dear citizens of Radioland, we will now hear the matchless rendition (or of the Prohibition Blues, as the case may be) by your favorite artist—Madame Mellissa Polonissia." Then all the dear white Radiolancers settle back in their easy chairs, in the perfect illusion of an universally white world, and listen to this dark brown girl entertain them through the colorless air. "Isn't she perfect at that jazz stuff, though?"—Yes, and equally good at Beethoven,—it's wonderful." And yet some fellow wont to invent something so that we can SEE these artists over radio, as well as hear them. That will never do; it would destroy the pleasure of too many white folks,—and throw too many black ones out of jobs,—or lessen their earnings. Let us keep on listening through the impenetrable screen of intervening air, which eliminates everything but the music.—Don’t you remember that a few years ago, Roland Hayes sang at the World’s Fair in San Francisco in a prize contest, each artist being screened off from the judges by canvass, so that he could be heard and not missed? Roland Hayes won first prize? The American judges said: “Why that sounds like a rich Russian tenor” and voted for him. Later he sang in another contest without the screen and lost. They couldn’t hear his voice because of the NOISE that his deep color made. A few years ago in Tacoma, Washington, there was a colored girl who had the best voice, and they wanted her in the show to sing a part. They said: "Now, if we are willing just to pass for Indian, we can sing for Indian, being less civilized, would be more welcome to the audience." gation of I ll Not Settle lor Problem harmony and peace. All experience shows that while segregation might be possible for a time and in limited areas, it never lasts. Political, economic and cultural forces are too strong. Sooner or later they break down all artificial barriers, for the children of men are at bottom one family, and nothing can keep them permanently apart." The Color Problem In South Africa The Monitor's editorial follows: "Most people are accustomed to think that the great problem in South Africa is still the race problem between Briton and Boer. They remember the war of 1899, the rebellion of 1914, and the violent utterances of the extreme Nationalists in more recent years. But the removal of the flag issue by the peace of 1902, the successful accomplishment of the Union in 1909, and the assumption of responsibility for the government of the country by the Nationalist Party in 1924, have gradually brought about a relaxation of the tension between the two white races. The racial issue, now that the two races and the two languages have equal rights, is steadily ceasing to be the main issue in South Africa public life and is being replaced by another. "The new issue is the color issue. The color question has always complicated South Africa life, but today it is assuming new and much more difficult forms. The population of the Union, according to the census of 1921, consisted of about 1,500,000 whites, 4,700,000 Bantu Africans, and 165,000 Asiatics. Moreover, to the north of the Union lies tropical central Africa with a large variety of Negro peoples. Before the year the native population of the Union hardly emerges, and from its virilism, and though the Indians under Mahatma Gandhi's leadership had proved themselves capable of exerting considerable political influence by means of strikes and agitation, the native peoples were hardly organized at all. "But today it is quite different. While the overwhelming mass of (Continued on page 13.) S RADIO WAVE from Fickens] But radio now makes that unnecessary. When the Imperial Wizzard, in Atlanta, turns on the radio and settles back in the midst of all his Nordic nonsense to listen to a great performance from the Station "XYZ," he does not even suspect that the person on the other end of the wave-length is just one of those "long, tall, brown-skin colored gals that would make a preacher lay his Bible down!" 20 PER CENT OF NEGRO HOMES IN DALLAS UNFIT Survey Shows That 66 Per Cent of Houses In Colored Districts Have No Bath Toilet or Running Water. New York, March 12—Elmer Scott, executive secretary of the Civic Federation of Dallas, Texas, has sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a report on a survey made on housing of both Negroes and whites in the city of Dallas, by the Dallas Interracial Committee. The report states that: "In the face of appalling obstacles, home ownership and respectable home and household conditions are fully evidenced by the facts. * * * There is no evidence that the Negroes of Dallas seek residential quarters among the whites in order to be among the whites. The thrifty and self-respecting Negroes only endeavour in this respect is to find a place where in peace and security, with and for their own people, they may have opportunity for a respectable home life with the common environmental privileges and conveniences which belong to decent living." The report finds that a frequent cause to friction between the races lies in the exploitation of the Negro by traders, often white traders, and that the Negro is exploited by "shacks unit for habitation," which "produce shocking revenues," that many homes have no conveniences, are left in bad repair, and that : In purchasing, the Negro is frequently muted in his purchase to the extent of 25 percent or more beyond what a white purchaser would pay." Almost 20 per cent of the houses inhabited by Negroes are in such a bad condition that they should be destroyed, the report finds, there being no hath, toilet or water in 66 per cent of the houses examined. The survey, toward the expenses of which the Negroes contributed $125.00 is regarded as an encouraging effort on the part of a Southern city to discover and face facts bearing on the relations of the races. 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 ZION AND C. M. E. WITHDRAW FROM S. S. CONFERENCE 1979 Associated Negro Press Chicago, III, Mar. 17.—Segregation in the International Sunday School Convention at Birmingham, Ala., according to latest reports from the Religious Education Department of the A. M. E. Zion Church will obtain. The Birmingham Convention committee has not received one lot from its plan to segregate Negroes on its main floor instead of the gallery. The A. M. E. Z. A. M. E. and C. M. E. denominations have issued official statements of withdrawal from the Birmingham Convention and advising their constituents to stay away. In addition, the Negroes have been made to eight of the twelve state organizations in which Negroes are members and in some of which already have credentials. A telegram has been received from Matthew J. Trencery saying that the Church School Department of the Methodist Episcopal Church does not favor segregation, but is in harmony with the international Council in segregating Negroes in the Birmingham Convention according to the ordinance of the city. In a recent interview, Dr. S. N. Vass was credited with including the A. M. E. Zion Church in the group that met Dr. Hopkins at Nashville on February 8 for the second time and who voted unanimous support of the Birmingham Convention. This is reported to be a gross misstatement. The A. M. E. Zion Church did not participate in that conference or instruct anybody to vote for it. Having had a letter from Dr. Vass in which he said he expected Dr. Hopkins to present, some "jim-crow arrangements" of seats for Negro delegates on the main floor and to have that in mind in writing him in the event we would not be present, an officer of the Religious Education Department of the Vass; the position of the A. M. E. Zion Church is against segregation and we see no reason to recode from that position in this instance." The Star of Zion (Charlotte, N. C.) the denomination's official organ, whose editor was secretary of our press release committee said editorially (Feb. 11): "The Star of Zion and the A. M. E. Zion Church is opposed to segregation whether proposed or endorsed by the Kuklux Klan or the International Council of Religious Education." Segregation is segregation whether in the gallery or on the front row of the main floor of the A. M. E. Z. Church, true to its traditions, has not received and will not recode from its position as announced that we shall certify no delegates to the Birmingham Convention unless our representatives are guaranteed the rights and privileges of any delegates in the convention. Italy has taken first place in Yugoslav's important trade. International S. School Executive Defends Plan Of Segregation (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Mur. 16—The Chicago Daily News carried an account of the segregation row and defense by the executive officer of the International Council of Religious Education, as follows: Allegations that the International Sunday School Convention to be held in Birmingham, Ala., April 12-19, will be boycotted by Negro churchmen as a Jim Clow affair were made today by the religious department of the E. Zion Church, 438 East 40th St. Dr. Hugh S. Marill, secretary of the organization, holding the convention, expressed regret that such an interpretation was placed upon the situation by the Negro spokesman. "The International Council of Religious Education is opposed to segregation and if the convention were to be held in a city such as Chicago there would be no question of Jim-Crowism," said D. Magill. It so happens that we meet in Birmingham's new auditorium which is governed by municipal ordinances in line with the well-known southern attitude of racial segregation. The Council has been trying to have those ordinances set aside and in this effort we have the co-operation of our birmingham community in that the matter will be adjusted, though such declarations as the one issued today are not likely to prove helpful." The Religious Education Department of the A. M. E. Zion Church has issued this reinder: Surrender of Loyalty If Dr. Mugell's statement is published in The Chicago Daily News of the University it interprets the mind of the International Council of Religious Education, the Council feels justified in surrendering its own position of record and in sacrificing its loyalty to Jesus-attitude when in conflict with "thin-well-known southern attitude of racial segregation." Why is the International Council oblivious of the attitude of Christian statesmen in the South of whom Dr. M. Ashy Jones and W. W. Alexander are representative. This group is hosts to the Federal Council of Church of Christ that met in Atlanta, Ga. and no attempt was made to segregate. Had To Inform Public Had to inform public Our release was published on days before the International Council meeting, and could Dr. Maigel expect us to withhold a statement from our constituents who were preparing to go? The International Council had had five years and seven months (since the decision to go to Birmingham) and one year since we raised the sentencing question "to have those ordnances set aside" or to declare itself honor bound to hold its course. Birmingham will be elsewhere where the rights and privileges of its members will not be denied for any SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1926 Rural S. School Defends segregation arbitrary reason. But as late as December 30, 1925, Dr. Magill admitted that each time the seating question had been raised at Birmingham, they had been told it would work out alright or words to that effect, and he and the chairman of the executive committee sought to have us delegate a committee to make the approach with the Birmingham committee and adjust it in conformity with the city's segregation ordinance. According to an official report of the conference in Nashville, Team, on the executive committee offered aured Negro leaders to accept segregation on the main floor of the convention headquarters. On February 10, our release was published. Dr. Magill's defense is pathetic. Doctors Push Health Week Campaign (By Associated Negro Press) Tuskegee Ist. Aka, Mar. 6.—"There is no greater factor in raising the health standards of the race than the physician," declares Dr. R. R. Moon, principal of Tuskegee Institute, commenting on the part of the medical men play in promoting National Negro Health Week which will be observed this year during the week beginning April 4. Since the organization of the annual health campaign, 12 years ago, both colored and white physicians and dentists have become increasingly active in doing their share to stimulate interest in fighting disease. The services of medical associations have been placed at the disposal of the committee in charge of the health campaign. In many instances, local associations of doctors and dentists are taking the lead in organizing the health week program. They have unobtained services in areas such as hygiene in arranging and explaining health exhibits and in distributing health literature among their patients and friends. The National Medical Association and its local branches throughout the country and other health agencies are actively as work on plans to promote observance of this week.

Bolling was x highly respected citizen of the community. On the night he was beaten by Huggins Bolling, with his daughter, Lucy, had come to the community and was stopping in the home of Mary Valentine. After being there fo a while, he left the house stating that he was going out to buy & pait of shoes for his daughter. In his absence Huggins went to the Val entine home to pay suit to Lucy Bolling, it is said. Huggins had ‘een warned on séveral occasions to desist from paying attention: to Lucy by her father, who ob jected to a married man’s attempt at intimacy with his daughter. Huggins, it is claimed :aade cer- tain demands upon Lucy :-nile see- ing her at tho Valenti:.. home, and when she declined to ply ‘with his wishes, he beat ier. On the return of her father, Andrew Bol ling, he was told of his daughter having been beaten by Huggins Bolling loft the house to investi- wate, and when on the outside was seized by Huggins who severely beat him with the butt of a rifle Bolling later was carried to King’s Daughters! Hospital where he die jon January 30. ‘It was yeportod in the Hunters. ville section that Hugging had been arrested and released on $600 bond. ‘The residents. of the neighborhood had not heard of any_ preliminary nearing case, yet saw Huggins wa at liberty. ‘These people employed attorney John G.

Huggins’ friends, both white and eclored, itis said, pot a vigorous fight to have him cleared of the charges, but Mr. Tilton’s -prosecution was entirely effective. | The citizens of Huntersville whe interested themselves in the cast declae Huggins was a drifter and came to their section from prac tically nowhere, ‘The Bolling mur. der makes the sixth in seven venr: committed in this section by drift tas, and “we the citizers of Hunt ersville, have awakened to the sense ‘vf our duty and do not expect t stand for such common people com ing here and committing thei crimes.” At is said that Bolling was a man not liked by the farmers of the neighborhood; beeaun: ‘he would not work for small wages and agi tated.among the other farm labor ers to insist on xood pay. | It wa: for. that reason, some of thesc farmers are said to have endeav. ored to aid Huggins in his trial for having killed Bolling. ‘One new member was added to the club, CHINA ROSE ART CLUB The China Rose Art Club, gave a manless wedding at Hood's Chapel A.

Buys Equipment And Clears Campus. Bv. F. H. MEBANE Washington, N. C.—"The success of a school depends upon the ability of the administration to bring into play as much of the energies of the community as possible and to draw to the school the support of as many patrons as possible," says E. C. Brooks, former state superintendent of public instruction in his book, "Education for Democracy." To that statement we wish to add that this success cannot be attained, this support cannot be drawn by an administration that is lacking in initiative and ability to organize, and then hold these forces intact. Through organized effort the districts of Bate and Bayside, N. C., have secured this success, the magnitude of which increases as the details of its accomplishments are unfolded. Both districts are agricultural, are very small and have little from which to draw after crops are housed in the autumn. Yet these community demonstration Club with the Florentine Demonstration Club as well have power, raised more than $1,000 cash, secured more a beautiful four-room Rosewood school, purchased a $800.00 range for the domestic science department, furnished the school with tables, charts, etc. bought window shades and playground equipment including basketball and volleyball outfits. Besides this, the club purchased a musical instrument for the school, had a pump driven, purchased a pump and blasted stamped tiles at the campground. Kitchen cabinets and is now arranging a community school garden preparatory for furnishing canned goods for a cafeteria next term. All of these accomplishments are evidences of and stand as a monument to the tireless efforts of this royal little organization and to the efforts of Miss Elizabeth J. Jones, formerly county supervisor in Branford county, which office recently was abolished. Miss Jones originated the idea of combining and building, and it was under her principalship the first effort was made to raise money to carry out the idea. It was Miss Jones' sister, how- To the millions of people who use Peterson's Ointment for piles, eczema, salt, rheum, pimply skin, store feet and chaffing, Peterson says, "Tell any sufferer from old sores that its mighty healing power is wonderful."

Peterson's Ointment ever, Mrs. Sarah L. J. Williams, the present Home Demonstration Agent, who caught the baton and solidifying the organization she found, carried the project to a success. The writer has seen her braving the storms, heat and cold, to hold conference with a club in some remote woods-bound district and has seen her coaching over and over until late hours at eight in an enclosure to help some club conserve fruit or vegetables for the winter. She has ingratiated herself into the hearts of the home-makers of the several communities of her county and her efforts have been rewarded by the saving of many dollars to the citizens of the communities in which she has worked. Having thus touched the hearts of the community of the county, she naturally has an invisible influence, and has made this influence materialize into the development of one of the best school districts of its class from Dearer to Cherokee in North Carolina.

New Orleans, La. Marca H. "The use of force, for the adjustment of race relations is the unjust deceptive and futile," said B. B. Klezer, of Atlanta, speaking before the Council of Metropolitan Man in Wesley Church, this city, which was attended by several hundred pastors and lay leaders of Bickey Robert E. Jones Episcopal Area. "Force may sometimes seem to be a question, but in time being he creates another and more difficult question for future solution. To appeal to force is like giving extension ticket to a place you don't want to go, or it only leaves you further from the desired goal than you want. Neither race has anything but trouble to expect from it." The speaker cited slavery, male rule, and the cult of Nordism in illustrations of the doctrine of force. "Those who are advocating the resort to force for the preservation of Nordic supremacy are simply advising the human race enter upon a wholesaleogy of moral and spiritual murder and schidle," the speaker maintained "race problems," he said. "Like the or spiritualists, can be scaled only by spiritual apperence, mutual understanding and good will. There is no other way." As illustrating the latter method, the speaker sketched briefly the development and results of the interracial movement in the South which is founded upon the principles of conference and cooperation between the races.

Long returned to his field of labor after a few week's absence from his pastorate at Calvary. Carrying on a revival in the State of Pennsylvania, Rev. Long though somewhat overworked, was more than glad to know that he had accomplished something on his stay. During his work in the sylvania, the church blessed through Rev. Long's efforts by having 32 converts and additions, a sermon delivered on Sunday morning, subject: "Salvation to the Lifted Christ." John 3:14-15 Dealing with the text, the pastor encouraged the church to meet the "truth" on the wide pathway of life squares. We as Negroes, the pastor said, are trying to dodge facts and truth and play with some small things in life which do not get us anything. Using Moses as an illustration, he explained the neglect of the people to look up the brazen seep. He compared that with the Negroes want to find fact or truth face to face. He spoke about the higher standards to encourage the more people of the Church. The evening service was well attended and the sermon was one worthy of note. The pastor has been constantly urging the sinners and others out side of the "Ark of Safety" to come while it is time. Since the congregation is continually growing.

NEGRO HISTORY ASS'N TO MEET AT VA. N. & I. I. Spring Conference To Be Held March 30-31. Addresses Will Center Around Negro In Reconstruction Period. The spring conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History will be held at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg, March 30-31. The recent efforts of the association has been to publish the facts of Negro history during the Reconstruction, and the program of the conference will center around this subject. Prof. John R. Hawkins will deliver an address on the Virginia Negroes in History since the Civil War; Prof. L. P. Jackson will discuss the education of the Negro during the Reconstruction; Dr. Jas. S. Russell will emphasize the rural economic progress of the race in freedom; Professors Rayford W. Logan and J. H. Johnston will deliver addresses on the Negroes' participation in the Reconstruction government of Virginia, and Prof. M. M. Fisher, and Prof. S. son will discuss the Negro church which was the stormy period. There will be presented a pageant called "The Gateway" visualizing the life and history of the Negro. Sending out the announcement of this conference Dr. Woodson refers to popularizing Negro history as a challenge to the Negro. He says: "Either convince the world that you have a record as glorious as that of any other race or remain content with a fixed status of inferiority. The greatest scholars of today are saying that there is no such thing as race in science and that there is nothing in anthropology of psychology to support such myths as the inferiority or superiority of races. These truths, however, will have little bearing on the uplift of the Negro, if they are left in the state of academic discussion. There must be an actual demonstration. The Negro must learn his past and publish it to this preindicable world. "A man's social standing is determined largely by the record of his family. A nation is known for what it has achieved. The very name of Greek or Roman excites admiration; the mere mention of the word Negro arouses contempt as contempt contributed as much to the welfare of mankind as the Greek and the Roman. The Negro himself, however, does not know it because his friends have not been anxious for him to learn his interesting story. "It is purely a matter of traditional education. In our homes and in our schools we are taught the virtues and achievements of one race only. In practically all of the school houses. The Negro is not a picture on the wall or a book on the shelf to show that the Negro has ever achieved anything. "The white people of today, then, should not be blamed for their contemptuous attitude toward the Negro. The Negroes should not be censured if some of them have the "inferiority complex." Centuries of perverted education will do almost anything; for education, after all, is too often downright propaganda. "We are taught that the Negro has no history; and judging from the pagan point of view, we must concede that the Negro lacks the prestige of recent conquest and exploitation. But a real history, not the narrative of military despots who have affiliated the world with misery while they were contending with oppression, not the record of those who have indulged themselves in luxury and ease at the expense of weaker peoples. "Today we are getting a new vision of history as the progress of mankind toward a social and spiritual ideal, the elimination of strife, the promotion of peace and good will unto the happy day when men shall forget their national prejudices, outgrow racial differences, cast aside race hate, and rise unto the altruism of a rejuvenated universe."

Lankford, an architect last Wednesday through Attorney Houston and Houston, dismissed his suit for $60,000 damages against the Nimrod Supreme Grand Encampment, Ancient Order of Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem of the World, for malicious prosecution. This damage suit resulted from a suit brought in 1924 by the order against Mr. Lankford, claiming that in 1921 he had contracted to perform architectural services and to procure a construction loan for the remodeling of its headquarters building near Eleventh and Q streets, northwest. The order charged breach of contract and sued Mr. Lankford for $1,800. When the case was called for trial, counsel announced in open court that he had decided to draw its suit. Mr. Lankford then filed suit against the order for $60,000 alleging that the order had brought suit against him maliciously for the purpose of coercing him into giving false testimony against certain officers of the order in a factual fight for control of the order. On March 1, last, the order issued a statement completely exonerating Mr. Lankford of any and all blame or default arising out of any matters pertaining to his contract with the order made February 25, 1921, for architectural services in connection with the proposed remodeling of its headquarters building. a.1607-1609 Eleventh street, northwest.

TO GIVE SERIES OF LECTURES Orangeburg, S. C.—President e. Wilkinson of State College for Negroes in South Carolina delivered a lecture, "Recent Important Scientific Development," to faculty and students recently. In response to a request from the College Department, President Wilkinson will deliver a series of lectures touching the various fields of science. The local community, and the state as well, is fortunate in having at its disposal a man so rich in scientific facts. While these talks are made for the especial benefit of students of the college, the interested public is cordially invited. Those who know President Wilkinson are aware of the fact that he has a wealth of scientific information. The following lectures with their respective dates are: "Fundamental Facts of Radio Activity" March 10; "The Relation of Chemistry to the Enrichment of Life" March 24; "The Relation of Physics to the Enrichment of Life" April 7; "The Relation of Solar Energy to Life" April 21; "Promenade Facts of Astronomy" May 19; "Every Day Atmospheric Phenomena" May 12. All these lectures are to be made simple and practical through experiments and demonstrations. RACE CONGRESS MEETS APRIL 6-8 Washington, D. C. William H. Jerrigan, president of the National Race Congress of America, has issued a call for the assembling of the 11th annual session of the Congress to meet here April 6-8. This session has been designated as the Legislative Session, deriving its name from the fact that the major discussions will center around the various anti-Negro bills introduced in the present National Congress. The conference will be held at Mt. Chelburn Baptist Church, Third and Eye streets. The annual sermon will be preached Tuesday evening, April 6th at 8 o'clock by the Rev. Dr. J. E. Kirkling, pastor of Union Baptist Church, Philadelphia.

PENNANT MILK MILK MILK TAPER MILK TAPER MILK TAPER MILK SEGREGATION OF RACES CANNOT SETTLE WORLD COLOR PROBLEM (Continued from Page 7) the native population still lives in its old conditions, contact with the white man in the towns and the mines, the spread of education and of the ideas of self-determination popularized by the war, and the growth in wealth have produced a class-consciousness among the Africans which is increasing every year. They are no longer willing to accept the status of practically disfranchised hewers of wood and drawers of water for the white man in perpetuity. And in this attitude they are actively encouraged by the politically more advanced Indians, who are also in revolt against the restrict ion in placed upon their freedom of movement and domicile by the white legislature. White Population Active "All this stirring among the Africans and the Asiatics has produced a corresponding activity of thought among the white population. Opinion, however, is deeply divided. On the one hand is the Cape Colony tradition which sought to erect no legal distinctions between black and white and which gave to the native franchise under certain restrictions. On the other side there is the northern tradition which, according to the old Dutch law, declares that there shall be no equality between white and black in church or school, because seemingly trying to protect itself against the competition from the native peoples living at a much lower standard, which tends to drive to the poor white level, by prohibiting the use of colored labor in certain occupations. Another school advocates the segregation of races in different areas in which each can grow and develop in its own way. "But whatever way public opinion may shift, and change in its demands on either side, there are certain facts which cannot be gained said. The first is the fact that capacity or development as any other section of the human race. There may be people elsewhere who doubt this, but no one who has examined the progress made by the African race in America, whether of pure or mixed blood, can hesitate to recognize that the native of South Africa is destined steadily to progress out of his ignorance and barbarism, and eventually to take his place among the white. The second fact is that the Negro race in Africa today as a whole is nowhere near the level in knowledge, or experience, or self-control of the white. His growth to equality can only be gradual. "But there is a third face that governs both the others, and that is that the various races have somehow to learn to live together in justice, harmony and peace. All experience shows that, while seg- SKATERS "SEATED" TOO OFTEN The city that is building a skating rink "to seat 14,000 people" must have a lot of poor skaters in town.—From the Tacoma Ledger.

Political, economic, and cultural forces are too strong. Sooner or later they break down all artificial barriers, for the children of men are at bottom one family, and nothing can keep them permanently apart. It's just this fact that makes the task which South Africa has in front of it so interesting: It is being compelled to grapple on a small scale and intolerable inter-color contact which modern invention is forcing in increasing degree on the consideration of the whole world. And if both sides apply to the problem the eternal qualities of justice, tolerance, and common sense, South Africa will not only find the way for herself, but will point the way for the rest of mankind.

Christian Brotherhood and Segregation The quadrennial meeting of the International Sunday School Convention will meet in Birmingham, Alabama, in April. Why an international convention of Christians should be called to meet in any city of the South will always remain a mystery. When the question of seating delegates came up a compromise was said to have been reached concerning the Negro delegates, who were to sit in the front pew all by themselves. But the compromise did not hold, and should not. The three largest denominations we have refused to send delegates to the convention, because of dissatisfaction about this seating business. They are the A. M. F. Bethel, the A. M. E. Zion and the C. M. F. denominations. That is the proper and dignified thing to do. Send no delegates to such a convention. The city council of Birmingham felt called upon to butt in with a resolution declaring that the races would be segregated in the convention. And what has the city council got to do with that? The Afro-American does not need to attend a religious or other convention where he is expected to accept insult and humiliation as a matter of fact. There is no matter of fact about such business any more, if there ever was. We need to emphasize that more and more. If we do not stand for our manhood and self-respect in all such matters our white friends show unmistakably that they will not do it for us, but will the rather rub it in as deep as they can as an evidence of the sort of good faith they appear to think will pass current with the head of the Christian church. But somebody is being badly deceived, and we are sure it is not the Afro-American Christians. Where The Brakes Were Applied Where The Brakes Were Applied The general assembly passed the Massenburg bill creating a state-wide law to meet what was admitted a local race problem. In doing so it again, by legal enactment, publicly stigmatized the members of the colored race.

The law specifically places the odiun upon colored persons. They are the one designated for separation, not the white. Even in a colored meeting place, when whites go of their own volition, the law specifies that certain seats shall be set aside for "colored persons." The same spirit, the same destructive psychology, born in hatred and abhorrence, runs through the Massenburg burg. Still the Newport News Daily Press insists that "there is nothing whatever on the bill to humiliate the colored race." Now please note that the Norris racial integrity bill was killed by the senate. Why the Norris racial integrity bill reflected upon the pride, dignity and decency of the white race. It made it unlawful for white persons to illegally mate with black persons and vice versa. It was an approach to giving the black women of Virginia the same legal protection accorded white women. And the white senate refused to pass the bill. When it comes to embarrassing the white race the general assembly knows where to apply the brakes. It all depends upon whose x is gored. The law specifically places the odium upon colored persons.

The Negro in the News A most encouraging augury for better race relations as a result of better race understanding is noted in the changing policy of the American press toward the Negro in the news. Several outstanding daily news devote considerable space to the prog A most encouraging augury for better race relations as a result of better race understanding is noted in the changing policy of the American press toward the Negro in the news. Several outstanding dailies now devote considerable space to the progress and achievements of the Negro, while they treat the crime news of the race with no more emphasis than is given all other crime news. Burly black, black brute, darkey, etc., are tabo in the columns of most respectful journals. This evidence of change of policy is gratifying, even though there is yet much room for improvement. For instance, the term "negress" and the spelling of the word Negro with a small "n" should go. That there is no justification in grammar or otherwise in spelling the word Negro with a small "n" is borne out by the readiness with which some publications decided to make the change as soon as the matter was brought to their attention. The latest big daily discarding the little "n" and adopting the capital is the Chicago Tribune, which, we are told by Melvin Chisum, secretary of the National Negro Press Association, is fair toward the colored people. At any rate, the Tribune has recognized that the word Negro should be given the same treatment in its spelling as the name of any other race group. Other publications which the JOURNAL AND GUIDE has observed spelling the word "Negro," with the capital "N" are The Outlook, the Toledo (Ohio) Blade, the Living Church, an Episcopal magazine, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Columbus (S. C.) State. The St. Louis and the Toledo papers have also put the ban on the term "negress." The use of that term in describing our women is offensive to every self-respecting Negro. We note that the term is used in describing the female of certain beasts, such as lioness, tigress, and leopardess. The association of similar language in describing colored women is generally meant to degrade and Negro readers resent its use. The race feels grateful to those publications that have decided to drop these offensive usages in referring to the Negro. They have at once made good friends out of thousands of their readers. Parks, Health And Justice "The government of the Southern cities like Richmond and Norfolk is in the hands of the white race and will always be. The reasons are too well established to need argument or explanation. But that fact gives the government a trustee relation to the colored population that cannot be avoided. Because this is a white man's government is all the more reason for elemental justice to those who do not participate in it."—Ledger-Dispatch. Thus runs the beginning of a plea for "parks for colored people." And the more pleas that are based upon the assumption that Negroes are more wards of the government the longer will parks be deferred. It is a mistake to denominate any working, self-supporting, tax-paying group of the population as "trusts" to be administered after the fashion of government wards. It detracts from the actual relations which the group sustains to its government. In every function of citizenship except the making and administering of the laws, the Negro participates, and that he does not participate more effectively in the latter is another question "too well established to need argument or explanation." Directly, in proportion as he owns property he is a tax-payer; indirectly as he labors and spends he is a tax-payer. In the final analysis the tax burdens of others who do not labor with their hands fall upon him. Until this theory is recognized and full justice accorded the Negro race upon the basis of it, plausely upon sufferance rather than upon the more fundamental principles of right will fall as they have always fallen, upon deaf ears and stony hearts. The past attitude of Norfolk, Richmond and other Southern cities, in the matter of parks, recreational facilities, sanitary conditions and proper housing for colored citizens, is another proof that the thing called "trustee relation" in government is purely romantic, theoretical and imaginary.

A Champion of Proscriptlon A champion of Prescription A correspondent whose letter is published elsewhere on this page takes the position that "we have endured so many offences of a civic nature that it is folly to howl at an act done in good faith by a private society." He has reference to the recent art exhibit, and he is following the sane line or reasoning indulged in by some of the few persons who accepted the invitation of the art society to be the jim crow guests of the exhibitors on their jim crow day, that because we are discriminated against as a class in some things we should be jim crowed in all things. There are still a few persons who patronize the jim crow theatres and permit themselves to be similarly insulted in other ways. They belong to the same school of Negroes which our correspondent defends. But their number is growing less. A correspondent whose letter is publish elsewhere on this page takes the positio that "we have endured so many offenses of civic nature that it is folly to howl at a set done in good faith by a private society.

Will he be told such an hour, "This is a wh Whether our correspondent knows it or not, the strenuous and almost frantic efforts put forth by certain interests to seduce our group into attending the art exhibit were made not so much for the purpose of affording them an opportunity to see the exhibit, as for the purpose of disproving that they would resent being discriminated against as a class. If the JOURNAL AND GUIDE had accepted the invitation, extended it to promote the jim crow day, there would have been no misleading articles in the white papers; no personal invitations sent out; no personal interviews and button-holing by certain persons high up in the public school system; no last minute conferences and no official pressure exerted to get out a showing. It was the premeditated operation of a sinister system that is working twenty-four hours every day to convince the Negro, in spite of himself, that he is a class to be regarded separately from the rest of the public and so treated in all the functions of government and society. There are, of course, many proscriptions which we endure, as our correspon dents point out, but they are not of our making, and we endure them under protest. Accepting without protest new proscriptions will not remove nor mitigate any of the existing ones, and because some persons permit themselves to be treated as inferior beings is not a good reason why others, who evade certain proscriptions, should accept or condone those of a different character. If we take the position that it is all right for the whole group to be denominated as undesirable as long as any member of the group acquiesces in it, all the pretentions we make to being respectable will fall flat. In the final analysis the trend of segregation and racial discrimination is economic. It strikes at the foundations of life. It undermines the ancient law of self-preservation. Follow the course of disfranchisement and jim crowism in all their ramifications and it leads unerringly to the business of making a living. Those who raise the false cry of "seeking social equality" when we object to the system are only beclouding the issue. The issue is economic, not social in the sense of the intermingling of persons. THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING The "L-D" Turns Prophet The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch has recently turned prophet. Says its editorial on Parks For Colored People, "The government of the Southern cities like Richmond and Norfolk is in the hands of the white race and will always be. * * this is a white man's government." So seriously does the white South take itself. It has asserted the right-cousness of white men up and black men down, white men rule and black men submit, white men think and black men assent without question, so long, that it has about persuaded itself it has the mind of God on the matter. itself it has the mind of God on the matter. So thought the Negrog Egyptian of himself when for more than four centuries he sat on the neck of enslaved Semites. So thought the Semitic Babylonian of himself while Judah's weeping slaves sat songless by the rivers. So thought the British masters of themselves while dictating to the voteless, voiceless tax-payer in the American Colonies. So thought the Indian ruling castes of themselves living in luxury while Pariahslaved for less than a living and died without redress for millenniums. However, those who have been the under dogs in all these regimes have also been guilty of some thinking. They have forever thought that status quo was not necessarily status in aeternum, that the existing order was not necessarily destined to last eternally. They have forever mused even while they wept and bled: "Other empires have crumbled. Other republics have waned. Other domineering overlordships have come an end. Why not this one? And then? Liberty!" So thought the Negro in darker days than these when up from his burdened soul there came those haunting hymns of faith in a better and happier day. Some call them "Spirituals." Others know them to have been songs of hidden hope. The Negro is still doing some thinking. Richmond and Norfolk are great cities and ruled by mighty men of a mighty race. But they are no better founded than other cities and no better born than other rulers that long since have gone the way of all the earth. This is a white man's government. But white man, like black man or yellow man, is not superior to that "Father, who without respect of persons judget according to each man's work." It is simply impossible to reconcile Impartial Love with this daily bread of veiled intimidation and suble insult. Signs in public carriers, "scareheads" in daily newspapers, slogans of statewide and South-wide organizations, forever dining white supremacy and black inferiority, have no kinship with universal brotherhood, have no Divine Fatherhood. God has never had either concubines or "free issues." He has no illiteracy for which to atone. And the Negro's thinking is not limited to theological direction. Thinks he, What about national emergencies? A world war wring promises to oppressed India from hard-pressed England. That same war induced a Virginia-born Democrat to "suggest" to the Federal Supreme Court the rendering of two long overdue decisions affecting black Americans, viz., on residential segregation and on the infamous "grandfather clause." That same war thrust black men into uniforms and under arms and be hind machine guns to protect a white Democratic President from possible assassination. * * * Will America never face similar emergencies? When such emergencies Parks For Colored People, "The government of the Southern cities like Richmond and Norfolk is in the hands of the white race and will always be. * * this is a white man's government." So seriously the white South take itself. It has asserted the right-cousness of white men up and black men down, white men rule and black men submit, white men think and black men assent without arise, now will the disaffected black tenth be won to the needed allegiance? Will he be told in such an hour, "This is a white man's government and always will be"? The answer is another story. There be prophets, and prophets. Negroes In White Publications By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. "Paul Robeson is not merely an actor and a singer of Negro Spirituals but a symbol, a sort of sublimation of what the Negro may be in the Golden Age hangs about him, and imparts to his appearance an atmosphere of affection and delight that is seldom felt in an American audience." Thus begins Miss E. S. Sergeant's portrait—a delicately and impartially etched portrait—of this now famous Negro art of whose singing "notes of eternity roll," and whose acting has "the power to wander on the borderline between acting and reality," and which is marked by "his terrible and unrestrained sincerity." She then makes a piercing analysis of his charm, philosophy, incentives, and the powerful influence of his father, "a far-sseeing old man," which assimilated, made friendly, even intercommunicated the two planes which Miss Sergeant points out exists in "the life of a Negro, or an Indian, or even a Russian Jew. * * * *" Incidentally the discussion of this dual life of the Negro is especially interesting. The article is a remarkable document. Let me quote two statements that carry much subtle, useful thought: "Yet I have never seen on the stage a man civilized, a more finished and accomplished artistic gesture than his nod to his accompanist, the signal to begin the song. This gesture is the final seal of Paul Robeson's personal case in the world. Even a Southerner would have difficulty in negating its quality and elbowing its creator from a sidewalk." Every Negro will be strengthened by reading Paul Robeson's reasons for devoting his life to his race. "The Negro nonascence!" exclaims Miss Sergeant, "The phrase was life-giving. So far as it was a fact, and not a hope or an intellectual formulation it rested on the free development of Negro characteristics and cultural resources. Through the avocations of poetry, provocations of jazz, through the theatre, through folk music the Nogro was coming into his American rights at last and offering his treasure to the common store." This is a summary of Robeson's great artistic career. It should be read in full. His collegiate career was remarkable. He led his class in scholarship, won Phi Beta Kappa key, was a fine debater, achieved a varsity letter in five sports, and won a place on Walter Camp's All-American, being judged "the greatest defensive end who ever trod the gridiron." We need not mention any of the facts of Booker Washington's life as presented in the March "Ladies Home Journal" by M. A. DeWolfe Howe in an article entitled "Causes and Their Champions." Suffice it to say that it is a woll done piece of writing and an honest estimate of Washington's service and importance. It is well worth reading, and those who have not read "Up From Slavery" and Washington's other books, which standard literary histories rate as among the best work produced in the South, will take very keen interest in its perusal. Let us make a few quotations. Referring to the Negro, Mr. Howe says: "After some sixyears of freedom—years that began with many misguided steps towards reconstruction—the wonder is not so much that he remains a problem, as that his advance in many fields of citizenship and civilization, has been so marked." The "industria: opportunities of the war time brought half a million Negroes from the South to the North, without solving the racial problem of either section. The revival of the ku klu klan spirit of which Washington thought he had seen the end in his early manhood, has contributed nothing to the long sought solution. Yet with all the discouragements, the future holds many signs of hope. "Where and why? Let the skeptic look at a recent issue of the Negro Year Book, setting forth the contemporaneous record of the race in business, industry, agriculture, education and the arts. Let him remember the conditions of the race when its progress up from slavery began. Then leave him to his conclusions." "The American Mercury," and last week's "Review of Reviews" contain some of the other good articles. Saturday, March 13, 1926. The Advocacy of the Negro Lawyer BY KELLY MILLER THE PEOPLE'S FORUM WHERE EVERYBODY MAY BE HEARD THE PEOPLE'S FORUM WHERE EVERYBODY MAY BE HEARD The nomination of James A. Cobb for municipal judge of the district of Columbia has constituted the theme of political gossip during the past three or four weeks. This replacement appointment is, so far, the most significant recognition which the race has received at the hands of the incumbent ad- PETER B. ministration. The confirmation goes without saying. It is not thinkable that a Republican administration would fail the race in the identical position where a Democratic predecessor had twice appointed and confirmed a colored man. The fitness of Mr. Cobb as a worthy successor of Judge Terrell is universally recognized and extolled. There is one aspect of the case, however, which so far seems to have escaped public attention. Mr. Cobb's elevation to the bench deprives the race of its most promising civil rights advocate from a legal point of view. He has devoted a large part of his time and talent to the legal phase of the race problem without compensation or hope of reward other than the satisfaction of having his duty. This is his absorbing passion. Mr. Cobb had understudied the ablest juris consults in the country in this feature of constitutional law. He prepared the brief upon his argument was argued before the Supreme Court. As one of the attorneys for the N. A. A. C. P. he had a wonderful opportunity in this field of jurisprudence. I think, it can be said without disparagement to our worthy counsellors at law, that no one has shown such detached and devoted interest in the constitutional aspect of the race situation as he. Single handed he pushed the Washington segregation case thru the courts to the final determination of the highest judicial tribunal. We are all hanging breathless upon the outcome of this case as it now rests on the lap of the Supreme Court. But whatever the outcome may be, the race owes a deep debt to James A. Cobb for his courage and deter- Readers of the Journal and Guide are invited to express their views upon public questions in this column.

Sir: The recent show of narrow-mindedness, self conceit and selfishness on the part of the general assembly of Virginia is without a doubt a reflection upon the sense of liberty and justice as is seemingly advocated by the judicial and legislative bodies of this state. Not since the advent of "Jim Crowism" have the liberty loving and self respecting Negroes of this state been so deliberately humiliated. In the passage of the Massenburg bill the Virginia general assembly has made a grave mistake. Not only has this bill caused unrest in the minds of the Negroes of this state and country but it has met with nation-wide disapproval that is strikingly shown in many of the country's foremost publications. The young Negro student of today will not willingly comply with a law of this type. To be compelled by law to sit in the gallery of the theatres owned and operated by whites is bad enough, but to have to take the back seat in the auditorium of a school that is exclusive to our race, a school that houses hundreds upon hundreds of young Negroes seeking for knowledge and a school that yearly turns out hundreds of Negroes who prove themselves competent in their particular line of endeavors, is more than any Negro with an ounce of pride can stand. The Massenburg bill is a gross insult to the entire Negro race. Hampton Institute for over a half century has fostered and cultivated the best in the Negro. But today to satisfy the narrow-minded, white politicians who advocated such a law, Virginia has made it improbable and almost impossible for her black sons and daughters, who like her white ones are struggling for higher education, to pursue their studies in the peace and tranquility that has been an outstanding characteristic all these many years. Indeed it is hard to conceive the ultimate outcome of such a law as the Massenburg bill. A. DOSSON McWILLIAMS Norfolk, Va. Dr. Kelly Miller believes that upon the Negro lawyer gradually evolves the responsibility of pleading the cause of the race at the bar. Although, often the recipient of jibes and ridicule, and receiving not the esteem nor the reward of colored men in other professions, the Negro lawyer yet has the largest function and meaning for his race. Momentous issues of great concern to the race have yet to be thrashed out in the courts of the land, and it is all important that the Negro lawyer play a part in presenting these issues on behalf of his race, says Dr. Miller, as no man can thoroughly understand the Negro's cause like the Negro himself. mination to exhaust ever possible legal expedient in defense of the rights of his race. The Negro lawyer is often made the butt of jibes and ridicule. He receives neither the esteem nor the reward of colored men in other professions. There is only one Negro law school in the nation. It just so happens that Mr. Cobb is the vice dean of that institution. And yet the Negro lawyer has the largest function and meaning for his race. My old neighbor, Professor John M. Langston, used often to say that, if the Negro ever secured the full and fair interpretation of his rights under the law, it would be secured through the advocacy of the Negro lawyer. However kindly the white lawyer might be, however faithful he may be to the cause which he engages to espouse, with him it is the case, and not the cause that is uppermost. Prudence and good judgment may indeed require that we employ white counsel in most, may be all of the cases brought before the Supreme Court. But in no instance should the Negro lawyer be left wholly out of the equation. He should without exception figure in every aspect of legal content. The necessity of this is obvious. No one can be as vitally interested in the cause of the Jew as the Jew himself. Now that Mr. Cobb has been called to the bench, it will be impossible for him to function as advocate of the political and civil rights of the race before The Art Exhibit Editor Journal and Guide. Sir: Under its plea of consistency, I cannot see how the Norfolk Journal and Guide and a few other citizens can condemn the Norfolk Art Society for extending an invitation to colored people to visit the exhibition a special day. Their treatment of the Negro in this case was considered an affront, a slight, Jim Crowism, ete, by the GUIDE in its editorial. As a matter of fact it may best be classified as an act of charity presented in the manner they thought we liked best. Had the exhibit closed without an invitation being extended, it seems that there would have been no offense according to the trend of the GUIDE's argument. This appears to be a case of a hard slap or none. Directly under the editorial censuring the exhibit was a news article on the favorable prospects of a colored park. If we ask for Colored parks, Colored playgrounds, Colored jitneys, etc., it is no more than could be expected that this should be taken as prima facia evidence that we preferred "Jim Crowism" and would better appreciate a Colored exhibition day. We have silently endured so many offenses of civic nature that it is folly to howl at an act done in good faith by a private society. Of course, we should be consistent, so act like a clam on some issues and like a parrot on others? In the Armory Building, the city has provided public rest rooms but over the entrance hangs a sign which reads: "For White Ladies Only," yet no conveniences are provided for colored ladies in this or any other building. In protesting these conditions, we have been as loquacious as a sphinx. Although the leading department stores have accommodations for one group that are not granted the other, yet we are not enjoined to boycott such business places. Famous paintings and sculptures have at various times been exhibited at a Ghent high school and classes have been dismissed at other white schools that pupils might view them but not once has this privilege been afforded colored students. Mrs. M...., in last week's issue writes that she visited the exhibit on the third day and the courts of the land. Some one must take his place. No more important duty devolves upon the N. A. A. C. P. than the selection of a competent and woo- ly successor to Mr. Cobb in the legal department. The Supreme Court is disposed to side-step the judicial interpretation of racial issues. Chief Justice Taney declared that the Negro had no rights that white man was bound to respect. The results of the Civil War brought to the Negro every guaranteed right accorded white men, bearing none. This was guaranteed so far as the enactment of law could go. Justice Taney and his dictum were utterly repudiated. Not only was the Negra given political and civil equality but special statutes were calculated to meet the special circumstances of his case. The Civil Rights Regulations were laws of this character. But shortly after the law was enacted, the enemies of race equality began the process of repudiation by judicial negative. The Civil Rights status were first declared unconstitutional for the states, but left effective for the territories and the District of Columbia where the federal authority exercised complete jurisdiction. A subsequent decision wiped out the application of this law, even for these federal jurisdiction. That the several states began to restrict legislative in defense of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. There has even been some feeble attempt to rescind the amendments themselves. The Negro has had to be constantly on the defense. He has brought case after case before the Supreme Court testing the constitutionality of restrictive race legislation. Rarely has he gotten a positively effective decision. The two notable exceptions were rendered during the issues of the World War, and bear every indication of having been influenced by the oneway current of that momentary struggle. Do they or do they not represent the normal attitude and disposition of the average white man? In the midst of the revolution the under man has greatly the advantage both of legislation and of judicial interpretation. The Declaration of Independence was a revolutionary document. So was the Emancipation Proclamation. The three Civil War amendments were floated on the flood of Civil War sentiment. While we rejoice in the two world war decisions which the Supreme Court rendered in our behalf, yet we must not let our jubilation blind us to the fact that the feeling of revolution fades gradually in the milder periods of peace. No sooner had peace been declared than sundry subterrors tend to negative their effectiveness and to reduce our hopes toaught. Eternal vigilance is the price the race must pay for the maintenance of its rights. "spent a pleasant hour viewing the paintings and brooches comprising the collection," and three days later became offended. The fact that she was treated cordially offset all that may be said about her later consciousness of "an open insult." When we criticize, why not confine ourselves to matters of moment. It is useless and harmful to prate over the idea of visiting a first rate art exhibit on a certain day when my dear beloved brethren will on certain days pay $1.65 to climb up in a peanut gallery to see a troupe of unknowns play fool.
