City Attorney R. W. Peatross, delivered the welcome address on behalf of the city, serving in the place of Mayor Tyler, who was unable to fill the engagement. Mr. Peatross delivered a strikingly unusual address of welcome. He stressed the principle of the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God and emphasized the worth of the Christian religion in the daily life of any people.

Mr. Bowling in his talk challenged the Christian host to produce real men, men of character and worth as their contributions to civilization; deplored strict denominational lines which set up doctrinal and creedal lines of cleavage between men and nations. The Rev. A. C. Clark stressed the importance of exemplary Christian lives in the church, while Miss Fuller laid much stress upon the relationship of the family, the church and the school. Collections of Miss Viola P. Cousins, Mrs. Lesie M. Bunch and Mrs. Madge Harris added much to the entertainment of the audience. Miss Clarine Acher served as mistress of ceremonies. At the close of the program, pointed and interesting remarks were made by the presiding bishop.

He was well known in this city and was a visitor here for his last time in August of last year, when he attended the Bishops' Conference at the Metropolitan Church. Bishop Blackwell, before his health failed, was a forceful preacher and eminent pulpiter. Several local people left the city Wednesday, night to be in Philadelphia to attend the funeral Thursday.

The trial of Israel Banks, former Chapel street merchant, for murder in connection with the killing of 11-year-old Larry Strether in Banks' store last December, was again continued Wednesday. The continence was asked on behalf of the Commission by J. Thomas Newsome, representing the Strother family. When the case was called for trial Wednesday morning of last week, Mr. Newsome asked a continuance on the grounds that witness material to the prosecution was ill and could not appear in court. Wednesday morning he informed the court that this witness was sick, and he felt that her testimony was material. J. Louis Broudy, representing the defendant, protested against further continuance, but Judge Sargent sided with protest on and put the trial off until Wednesday of next week. Banks, it is charged, shot the Strother boy following an alteration over payment for a away some good boy the boy had with the merchant. It is said Strother protested that a nickel tendered him in payment was not enough, whereupon Banks ordered him from the store, reaching behind the counter and drawing a revolver at the same time. Strother was shot in the brain and died instantly. Banks claims the wood was accidental, say he pulled the pistol merely to frighten the lad.

FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO PARTS SEGREGATION RULED INVALID BY HANCKEL SEGREGATION RULED INVALID BY HANCKEL Circuit Court Upholds Ruling Of Justice Spindle On Unconstitutionality Of Ordinance. END OF LITIGATION IN NATHAN FALL CASE Police Justice Spindle's recent ruling that Norfolk's residential regression ordinance is unconstitutional was upheld by Judge Allen R. Hankelin in the City Circuit Court Saturday. The case went before Judge Hankelin on petition of W. W. Foreman, counsel for the local branch N. A. A. C. P., who had previously instituted mandamus proceedings seeking to compel Justice Spindle to grant the Commonwealth the right of appeal from his decision declaring the ordinance unconstitutional. Judge Hankel not only sustained the police justice's ruling as to the unconstitutionality of the ordinance but also sustained him as to the density of the right of the Commission to an appeal. The ruling of the Circuit Court Judge was just the one desired by the N. A. A. C. P. attorneys, as was that of the police magistrate. They sought to appeal from the ruling of Justice Spindle merely to get a ruling on the constitutionality of the ordinance from a court of record. The case originated several weeks ago in a warrant served on Nathan Falls, a white merchant who had recently moved into a building on the corner of Chapel and Golf streets and began the operation of a grocery store. The neighborhood is regarded as a colored district, and the N. A. A. C. P. instituted legal action against Fall, charging him with violation of the ordinance, merely to test its constitutionality. When the case was finally heard before Justice Spindle he promptly ruled the law unconstitutional and dismissed the warrant against Fall. This ruling conformed exactly with the opinion of the N. A. A. C. P. attorneys, but it was their desire to have a court of record make a ruling on the point, and thus sought an appeal from the Police Court decision, which Spindle appealed on the grounds that the complainant had appeared as representatives of the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth had not the right of appeal in the case. Mr. Foreman immediately instituted mandauus proceedings seeking to compel the police magistrate to grant the appeal. It was the hearing on the mandauus proceedings which resulted in Judge Hanckel declaring the law unconstitutional and the warrant against Fall void *ab initio*, that is void from the issuance, and that the Police Justice had not erred in denying the state the right of appeal. Attorney- David Edwards acted as complainant against Fall, while B. J. Barnes assisted Foreman in the prosecution. Freed Of Charge Of Shooting Two William Johnson, alias "Pete" Johnson was acquitted in Corporation Court No. 2, Monday last, of a charge of felonious shooting of Alene White, Anna Canty and Bossy Canty, at Canty's house on Wilson road on December 13, 1925. Johnson, through his attorney James Frederic Thorogood, who was appointed by the court to defend him, entered a plea of self-defense. It was brought out in the testimony that one of the bullets from Johnson's gun penetrated the leg of Alene White, breaking it; while another bullet hit Bossy Canty making a slight wound, and the shot fired at Anna Canty went wild of its mark. The testimony offered by the prosecution was that the injured parties were shot with 45 calibre revolver and placed a fired bullet in evidence. Johnson stated that a 32 calibre weapon was used and placed the weapon with which he hit the man done the shooting in evidence. There were no witnesses for the accused. Seven were placed on the stand for the prosecution. After a forceful argument by Mr. Thorogood and an equally forceful one by Commonwealth's Attorney Harry McCoy, the jury retired and deliberated for two hours, returning a verdict of not guilty. The maximum penalty for Johnson's offense would have been thirty years in the penitentiary, which he fortunately escaped. Represents Y. M. C. A. At World Conference T.

SAYS DIVINE POWER CREATED RACE INFERIOR Congressman Expresses Sympathy For Colored Races, But Says That The Creator Intended Them Subjects. (Special Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., March 24—At the conclusion of a defense of General Robert E. Lee for leading the forces of the Confederacy in the Civil War and a plen that the North and South "get together," Representative T. Webber Wilson, Democrat, of Mississippi, attacked Negro domination of politics in his state and declared that his constituents would not stand for it. Tirade Provoked His tirade against the Negro followed a speech by Representative John N. Tillman, Democrat, of Arkansas, in which he deplored the action of the George H. Thomas Post, of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of the Republic, in petitioning Congress not to recognize societies bearing the name "Confederate" or Confederacy and calling General Robert E. Lee, the General Pennsylvania Post prot est against a move by the Daughters of the Confederacy to obtain possession of the Lee Mansion to perpetuate the Confederate leader's memory. Wilson's Remarks Mr. Wilson, in his remarks, declared that a condition exists in his state today which has no parallel since the days of reconstruction. After charging that Federal offices are sold, he said that the control of Federal patronage is almost entirely in the hands of the Negroes. "God save my country," he said, "from the sad day when Negroes are placed in the seats of the mighty and political control passes into their black hands." Continuing his tirade, he said: "Why should the administration try which God almighty did not do? The same divine power that created us. You can take a mule and curry him; you can shear his locks; you can even put "stacomb," if you please, on his hair; but by no human process can you make out of him a Kentucky thoroughbred. The Negro bears the same relationship to the Caucasian race. The Negro race is an inferior race, as compared with ours, and why do some Republicans try to do something for him that God Almighty did not do? I have nothing against the Negro. We have always had their friends, our pathway leads that way, and our pathway leads the other. My people will not submit to Negro domination. There are some things my people will not submit to, and one of them is control of their politics, either state or national, by the Negroes." In closing his invective, he declared that "if my people cannot get protection from our government, we will, please God, protect ourselves."

"All the News that's Worth Reading" SAYSJONES PLANNED TO RUIN DR.WARD Melvin Chisum, Field Secretary of National Negro Press Association, Files Confidential Report. ALLEGES SCHEME TO DISCREDIT PERSONNEL Washington, D. C., March 22—As a result of the expose made in a confidential report by Melvin Chism, Field Secretary of the National Negro Press Association to the members of the Press Association to the date of March 19, the Veterans' Bureau is holding hearings which appear to have for their purpose an attempt to discredit the facts laid bare by Chism, and to support Jones. Chisum's Statement Mr. Chisum in an interview, here said that he did not disclose all the information which he possesses in this particular and said, "There are many other aspects of this deeply laid plot to discredit the Negro personnel at the Tuskegee Veterans Hospital." "For instance," said Mr. Chisum to your correspondent, "when I was with Mr. W. L. Jones in September, he told me by way of assuring me that we were certain of in our scheme from within the Bureau at Washington, he named three men upon whom he could rely. One of these I have already told the proper official about, but I withheld for reasons of my own the names of the others. Mr Jones told me the inside facts connected with his having been advised by one of these Bureau officials to resign in April 1925 and to give as his reasons, "unsatisfactory working conditions." Jones stated to me that he staged that resignation only after he had been assured by this Veterans Bureau official that his resignation would not be accepted, but rather would provide a basis for airing charges against, Dr. Ward, the ultimate aim of which—though I think Jones failed to see this—was to rid the station of the chief Negro officials." Mr. Chisum stated further that he doubted the truthfulness of Jones in this particular at the time. "But," said Chisum, "the frantic efforts now being made to protect Jones suggest that he should be protected to protect Jones in order to keep him from exposing them. "The boldness of Jones in preferring charges against his superior officer which were proven to be trivial and without merit; Jones' retention in his post of duty after this act of gross insubordination; Jones' continued attacks upon Dr. Ward and the Bureau's tolerant attitude toward Jones' reprehensible conduct convince me that the plot against the Negro personnel is deep-seated and far-reaching. I was at pains to send copies of my report to Messrs. W. Howe and J. John T. Risher, the latter counsel-of-record for Jones and Nelson; to General Frank T. Hines and other high government officials." Death Claims Local Physician William R. Mapp, one of the best known colored physicians on the south side of the river, died at the age of 58 years, at his home, Culpepper and Walker avenues, Saturday afternoon at 12:15 o'clock, after an illness of several weeks.

YOUTH—AND ADMIRABLE QUALITY ‘The Collegians took the battle field with apparent loss or de. ficiency of confidence.

Hubbard broke the record on his first jump and on trying to better this mark on the second go, he felt short by three inches. Hubbard now holds both the out-door and in- door records.

BUT OLD AGE HAS ITS DAY When the solons of the sea washed Hampton aggregation took the floor, young and old together smiled in admiration, Neatly gitded in blue and white, these old-timers xevived memories of great days and great games. Dr. Davis, of Hamptonians, picked up his odds and ends of the cage game at Williams College and later Harvard. Dr. Davis spent most of his time in the first half of the game trying to perfect his graceful dribble on the slip- pery floor, but Fate frowned, Bnd the final whistle found him still vainly fighting to master that dribble. Yet, this game Doctor deserves a’ por- tion of the plaudits as he in- tigated the rally in the open- | ing of the second half that "changed the Collegians’ lead of 10-4 to a light end of 15-11 count. In the five minute ex- tra go, he registered the shot that" put the visitors ahead, and then dropped a free throw which practically clinched mat- ters. Next, we have Dr, William S: ‘Parker, a pharmacist of the mu- nicipality of Hampton, and tangy pivot man for the vietors.

He got his tid bits also at Hampton in the late teens, : The celebrated football mentor ‘of the Seasiders, Coach “Gid"-eon E, Smith, also offered many thrills and spilis for the _glee-choked spectators. Coach Smith very nearly shipwrecked the barge of the midshigmen in the latter halt of the last half-minute of regular playing time when he made a per- feet pass to Prot.

BY P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Springfield, O., Mar. 20—Playing against the tremendous hand-to-foot of winning its semi-final and championship games on the game night in the Fifth Annual Ohio Hi-Y Championship Tournament which began last night and wound up tonight, the Columbus Hi-Y team, affectionately termed the "Big Red," achieved the acme of its season's form tonight and successfully answered the challenge of Dayton Hi-Y by defeating that team 32 to 22 and an hour afterwards, in a fast and constantly brilliant game, qupeplied every attack of Cincinnati Hi-Y in the final, thereby coming into possession of the silver trophy emblematic of the coveted state championship among Hi-Y clubs. Coach-player Key, who recently completed his high school course, under the tournament rules, was ineligible and did not play in any of three games participated in Columbus. He immediately withdrew when informed of his ineligibility for this tourney. Incidentally, Manager Pyant of Columbus, in a conference of officials endeavored to be assured of the eligibility of certain Cincinnati stars but got not a whit of satisfaction. 14th. Unable to play, Key directed the successful journey down the burying path of the state championship from the sideline. The man in which he solved the problem of winning combinations for the Dayton game, and yet saving his men for the harder Cincinnati game which was to follow, is very commendatory to him. Dayton Outplayed and Beaten In the Dayton game, Garrett indicated what was coming when he sank a goal from mid court soon after the game started. Sixteen minutes had elapsed and under the super guarding of Daugherty and Garrett, Dayton had not scored a point. In the meantime, Rogers, Daugherty, and Butler, garnered 14 other points for Columbus, so that Columbus was soon leading 16 to 0. Then Pleasant caged a goal for Dayton. The half ended 19 to 5, favor of Columbus; the third quarter 28 to 14; and the final score was, of course, 32 to 22. Columbus, while never taken a chance, eased up noticeably in the last half of the game. Dayton shifted its line-up constantly. The Dayton basketteers who found the range best were Murray and Campbell. Capt. Rogers amassed 13 for Columbus; Butler and Rogers 5 apiece; while Shearer, Phillips, Black, Garrett, Lewis, Upson—all held the spotlight frequently either in a defensive of offensive way, depending upon their positions. Then Came Cincinnati. Confident Having disposed of the last obstacle that barred its way to the finals, Columbus retired to its dressing room while Springfield and Urbana played a consolation game. Springfield won, 24 to 8. Urbana lost their first game to Cincinnati last night, fighting pluckily but outclassed and beaten 34 to 20 by Cincinnati. The Championship Game Itself The story of the final game, the championship affair between Columbus and Cincinnati Hi-Y teams, need not to be told in play by play. Imagine two determined teams, one, the loser, heavier than the other, both making but one substitution apiece; Columbus sent Black in for Butler in the third quarter when Buter was forced to retire with four personal made in the anxiety of fast play, and Cincinnati substituted Pickens for Hubbard when Hubbard's bickering drew a final warning from Referee Harding of Wilberforce that one more offense would see him warming a seat for the remainder of the game. Imagine, too, Columbus not scoring first, but Cincy when Atkinson registered a free throw on Butler's foul. Then picture the brilliant guard, Daugherty, sinking a goal that stood 8 to 5 at end of first quarter; 19 to 13 at half time; 24 to 21 at the completion of third period; and 30 to 24 at the final whistle. And after that, picture Columbus momentarily showing the strain of two games in one night, only to brace itself and draw away from the scrapping Cincy team. Imagine too, Cincinnati rallying to get such close scores as 10 to 9, 12 to 11, 24 to 21, and 26 to 23—only to see one team, inspired by its Captain Rogers who, although playing full forty minutes in both games, was sensational in shooting, stubborn in guarding, and accurate in passing,—only to see this team assert its superiority and draw away. Then for contrast dabble your colors with Columbus' brilliant team, working with buldog spirit and machine-like precision. You have two fine guards, Daugherty and Garrett, you have a center, Butler, member of Columbus East Hi-Y, Central Ohio Champs, and there are Phillips and Rogers, corking good forwards. Then to give your picture its finishing touches, touch it up here and there with views of yelling spectators, capable officiating, every form of fine basketball from a spectators point of view, and lastly, a view of the flashy Captain Rogers of the Hi-Y champs of Ohio, with but an hours rest between two 40 minute periods of strenuous championship play, scoring a total of 26 points. This, placed against the background of some memory of a stirring game, is enough. Both teams, all the teams in the tourney, played hard, but the winners deserve their championship. They left Springfield in high spirits and determined to down the Chicago Fifty Club in a feature game held March 22nd at Columbus. Coach Mohr, of Wilberforce University announced an All-Ohio Hi-Y team after the contests as follows: First Team—Rogers, an d Butler, Columbus, forwards; Sampson, Cincinnati, center; Dawgherty, Columbus, and Hubbard, Cincinnati, guards. Second Team—Rhodes, Springfield, and Scott, Urbana, forwards; Black, Columbus, center; Campbell, Dayton, and Walker, Cincinnati, guards. Mohr said Garrett and Black missed the first team by a slight margin, and that he almost picked the entire Columbus team for All-Hi-Y. The Line-up: Columbus—30 Cin. Hi-Y—24 Phillips F.

BY FRED WHITE AMATEUR BOXING RECEIVES K. O. BY FRED WHITE (By Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Mar. 22—The barring of colored youths from amateur prize-fights in this city was given a knockout blow Friday, when Charles Fred White, the Negro member of the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission, revoked Harry McGrath's license as a judge of boxing shows and cut him off from all connection with boxing in this state. Danny Morgan, a colored newsboy, with ambitions to compete in an amateur tournament, applied for registration to the A. A. U. At first the registration was refused, but the officials of the organization learned that discrimination on account of a man's color was an offense against the Constitution of the United States and also against the State of Pennsylvania laws. They reconsidered the action and accepted Morgan's registration. HOWARD TO PLAY N. C.COLLEGE HOWARD TO PLAY N.

At no time in the fray did Morehouse take the lead, the only semblance of a catch-up coming in the fifth when the score stood 7-6. Douglass relived Collins in the sixth frame, giving upon only one hit in the three innings he pitched. Stokes went all the way for the visitors.

ALPHAS SWAMPS MANSFIELD FIVE By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Columbus, Ohio, March 12—The representative team of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Kappa Chapter, intramural league champions of Ohio State University, had a merry time swapping the Mansfield Blue jackets here tonight, 72 to 31. Avery, with 16 points led his team's hard fight, but he and his teammates were outclassed. Redden fitted into their rather poor teamplay well enough to get six points. John Scott led Alpha's attack with 24 points: Whittaker, Dattmouth star, came next with 19 points, and Bellamy next with 12. Lee lineup for other scores. Entive Alpha team played commendably. Fans wonder why Scott with his shooting is held in guard.

ALABAMA VOODOO WORKS (By Associated Negro Press) Huntsville, Ala., Mar. 22—When Gideon Walker, farm hand of Madison, Ala., was slain six years ago by John Landman, white, in a quarrel at a church, his relatives and friends buried him face downward, so that his slayer would not go far away. Voodoism teaches that when one is slain and buried face down the slayer will hover about the place till captured. The teaching proved correct in this instance, and Landman is now in jail. KIMBAL WINS W. VIRGINIA H. S. TOURNEY Institute, W. Va., Mar. 20.—Kimball high school basketeers roped Lincoln tonight in the hardest fought battle of the entire meet which has been conducted at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute at the high schools of West Virginia. The State champions of last year (Lincoln, of Wheeling), won their way to the finals by defeating the strong aggregation from Williamson by the score of 46-29. They were considered the favorites of the meet after defeating the Dubois cagers in a fast and exciting game. Kimball, however, affected a change in their line-up, which spelled the doom for the defenders of Wheeling. Throughout the tournament, the guards of Kimball had been playing more or less stationary positions, but in the entire court guarding carefully and well the two outstanding opponents from Lincoln. Campbell and Kinney were the heavy point gainers throughout the tourney for Wheeling, but in the final game, they were checked in their former activities. Their long attempts missed, and the wonderful guarding of Saddler and White prevented the excellent advancing displayed in previous games. The Final Game The final game was the fastest to the entire meet and the best brands of basketball were displayed by the two teams which represented the Northern and the Southern sections of the State. Lincoln fouled many times in their determination and eagerness to overcome a fatal handicap gained in the first moments of play. The final scores stood 30-20. All-State Team Selected In selecting the all-State team, the various coaches were elected to make the choices. The result of the balloting was as follows: First Team Campbell (Lincoln) ..... F Jas, Diggs (Dubois, William) ..... F O'Neil (Kelly Miller) ..... C Saddler (Kimball) ..... G C. Sandige (Washington) ..... G Second Team Lefttridge (Kelly Miller) ..... F Willis (Simmons) ..... G Woods (Lincoln) ..... G Tibbs (Victoria) ..... G Kelly Miller Wins Consolation Tournament In the final of the consolation tournament, Kelly Miller displayed excellent marksmanship and teamwork. They easily outpointed the heavy aggregation from Douglas High School and won on thy the score of 25 to 20, although they had to overcome a handicap of nine points gained against them during the first half. Leftridge and O'Neil worked together wonderfully in the latter period a n d forged ahead not to be overtaken again. COLLEGIANS TO MEET HAMPTON In what is termed a vengeance game, the Norfolk Collegegians will journey to Hampton Wednesday, March 31, to meet the Hampton faculty quint in the Hampton Gym in a game for the benefit of Whittier Clinic. The Hampton team was successful in downing the Collegegians in a game played here last week after a fast and furious affair. The Norfolk five is determined to get revenge and the game promises to be a close one. The fray is scheduled to get under way at 8 o'clock p. m. ST. PAUL NINE MAKING READY Lawrenceville, Va.—Spring practice has begun on the old red hill of the Tiger camp. Coach Taylor is not quite sure of his regulstring, but quite a few of the youngsters are exhibiting form that will bear close watching. A number of the old recruits are back in the fold. The Wallace duct, with southpaw Hargrove, Drew and Amis backing them will more than likely operate conditions in the box. Coach Taylor is a little dubious about his infeld as all the lads in that division are tomping neatly. Blackwell, Smith, Cook and Valentine are stepping with rare form in the outer garden. For the past four days the boys have been handicapped by three inches of snow, making rehearsals an imposibility. Their first tilt is with the V. N. and I. I. Hilltoppers in Petersburg, April 14. Trainer Manages Big Stock Farm San Diego, Cal., Mar. 22—Kid North, who as co-owner with Bob Rowe raced Knighthood and several other equally well-known thoroughbreds on various tracks of the county, is now managing the Meadowbrook Stock Farm at Pottero, near here. It is a big establishment of some 1640 acres, owned by E. Byron Eeins, and the racing division boasts 'now twenty-six well-bred mares, and eight fine年lings, while Bon Homme, son of "Sweep," and Imp Witticism are the studs. The Kid still retains his interest in the billiard establishment located 'in the' new attractive Douglass Hotel which is operated by G. A. Ramsey and Mrs. Mabel Rowe, widow of the late "Bob". Schofield No Match For Haines Augusta, Ga., Marr. 22—Haines opened the season by trouncing Schofield to the tune of 11-2. The game was slow but interesting and all spectators had two hours and ten minutes of real baseball. Haines jumped off in front and was never headed, Larrie and Moore allowing Schofield only two hits. Score by Innings: R. H. E.

HI-Y TROUNCES OMEGA CHAPTER Columbus, Ohio, March 13—The fierce guarding of Columbus Hi-Y held the local chapter team of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity to a meager eleven points while it leisurely harvested thirty-five points, winning by the indicated score of 35-11. Omega's were handicapped by injuries to one of their guards, Hines, and by the loss of Hickerson by fouls. Mendinall and Lee, both scored 4 points for Omegas. Phillips and Black led Hi-Y's scoring with eight points each. Lee lineup for other scores. Hi-Y is in top form now. Forthcoming games are with Luender Club, which holds considerable past reputation and Chicago Fifty Club on March 22nd.

Refectee Blackburn THOUGH ILL MOORE ROMPS THOUGH ILL MOORE ROMPS New York—Though ill, Gus Moore, champion spinner of Boys' High School continued to romp over all rivals in his event on the card of the Princeton Club. In the one mile run, which he won, Moore underwent a good bit of discomfits. He won handily but it was the slowest mile he has run since his sensual start. The time was 4:50 2-5, but the Brooklyn runner had not fully recovered from his illness last week. Moore suffered pains in the side and stomach during his race. At times, he almost stopped to a walk, to start out again like a flash to make up the lost distance. At the same time, he was always ahead of the rest of the field and he remained in front until the finish. It has been nearly a year and a half since Moore has lost in a schoolboy's race and despite his illness before and during his race, he maintained his long streak of victories. Paul De Marco, of Bryant finished behind Moore and Phillip Shacklette finished third. Vincent Ottley won the 100-yard senior dash, leading the field in grand style.

The game looked interesting in the first frame, but the Morehouse lads literally ran wild in the second, third and, fourth and fifth innings, piling up a large score. Six acts of the comedy had already been played when Jupiter Pluvius stepped in and sent the fans scurrying to shelter. The players being more hardy than their gaudy bedded onlookers remained undaunted and finished the affair. Morris Brown used 4 pitchers in a vain effort to stop the onslaught of Morehouse, while Forbes went the entire way, sending six men to the bench by the strike-out route. Sykes, the Morehouse outfielder brought the fans to their feet in the fourth inning by hitting a home run over the left field fense, driving Captain Hawkins in ahead of him. Score by Innings: R. H.

Pearmount's first starring production for Raymond Griffith, whose ever increasing popularity with the public is the outstanding sensation of the past year. "Hels on a Prince!" opening at the Attacks on Monday and playing Tuesday, takes audiences into the home of royalty and proves that a son of royalty does not lead an altogether happy or dull existence with the constant demands upon him for what is known in screenplay as "personal appearances" at all times and at all manner of events.

Alice Joyce, Warner Baxter, Dolores Costello and ZaSu Pitts are featured in the leading roles. "Mannequin," which opens a two days' run is the story of a child stolen from its parents, Alice Joyce and Warner Baxter, by a dull, slowwitted nursemaid Annie Pogani, played by the versatile ZaSu Pitts.

All Around Frying Pan In the name of public merriment and excitement Fred Thompson and Silver Kirk have committed entertainment in the first degree. Once more this popular star and his famous horse come to the screen with an offering which is a riot of laughter and a panic of thrills. In "All Around Frying Fan," F. B.

Miss Anderson will be presented to the local public by the Girl Reserves Committee of the Y. W. C. A., her recital being for the benefit of the Girl Reserves Conference fund. Miss Anderson's seasonal engagements usually take her into some of the largest auditoriums in the country and before some of the largest and most critical audiences, yet it is to her credit, that she triumphs amid the most exciting auditors, her every rendition being eminently crowned with artistic achievement. Her coming to Norfolk premises to afford a genuine and rare musical treat for music patrons of Tidewater Virginia and Eastern North Carolina. In Philadelphia last spring, she appeared with the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra and was most flatteringly received. At the Lewisohn Stadium Auditions in New York last June she triumphed over 300 vocalists of every race and nationality and was the only singer chosen for the Summer Stadium Concerts. Following these triumphs, the Literary Digest, a most eminent publication, said of her: "In the higher forms of music there is Roland Hayes and latterly Marian Anderson, who was the only singer chosen out of some hundred 22 contestants at the auditions for the appearance in the Summer Stadium Concerts. She drew one of the largest audiences and audited herself with horse and applaus." Added to this most unusual contribution, the Philadelphia Tribune says: "She is endowed by nature with the gift of song and possessed of a personality as charming as it is natural." but probably one of the most exact appraisals of Miss Anderson's ability is succinctly summed up in the following lines from the musical Courier, a critical music publication: "Miss Anderson has a voice most extraordinary, quality, even throughout, produced without effort, and of most unusual range. She took the audience by storm, the applause being loud and long." Certainly the local public will be most eager to avail itself of the rare opportunity of hearing an artist upon whom the Metropolitan critics have unstintedly showered such economics, and doubled the First Baptist Church will be the scene of an overflowing audience when Miss Anderson ascends the platform. Patrons are advised and urged to secure tickets early and to be in their seats at the church promptly. Tickets may be obtained at the Y. W. C. A. and will be on sale at the door of the church. Misses Mildred Dudley, Chairman of Girl Reserves Committee and B. M. Butler, Girl Reserves Secretary, are in charge of the arrangements for the recital.

Since all the stock in the Federal Reserve banks is owned by member banks, and since the majority of the board of directors of each Federal Reserve Bank are elected by member banks, Federal Reserve Banks are not under the control of the Government.

A minority of the board of each Federal Reserve Board and a certain portion of the excess profits of each Federal Reserve Bank is required to be paid the Government as a franchise tax. Why is it that upon reading the Ledger Dispatch one finds homes offered white persons with all improvements, and sometimes even including heat at prices ranging from Three Thousand to Thirty-five Hundred Dollars, while the other many companies condition at all comparable with these sell for prices of Five hundred to One Thousand Dollars higher? Are colored real estate dealers the cause of this? —W. C. Young, 1288 Church St. A. No, colored real dealers are in no way responsible for the condition described above, and there is no denying that what you have said is generally true. Several factors cause the prices of Negro property to be so much higher than the type of white real estate. First there is a determined policy in the South, as well as in many of the larger cities of the North and West to set aside certain sections of the city for Negroes. In short, residential segregation is applied to our people either through an attempt through law as was true in our own city of Norfolk; or through threats backed by quasi-official sanction and mob violence. Whatever the measure used, the result is Negroes are always forced to live in the most undesirable sections of the city to buy in more decent settlements are blocked as long as possible. This condition naturally leads to our people having a very, very few suburbs available for development. For instance, after Huntsville, Lindenwood, Washington and Cottage Heights, and the small area of Hi-school-Boulevard Terrace Section, what suburbs can we consider our home buying in Norfolk? On the other hand, the whites have ten times as many sub-divisions competing with the law of supply and demand—which stated in every day language means if the commodity is scarce, and a great many people want it, that commodity is compelled to increase in value.

The mission was a smoker given by the city baby organization.

While partaking of the attraction of hot rolls and oozing butter, genuine Smithfield ham, a selectable salad, real coffee and eggs, served by the charming waitresses of Juanita's establishment, the President, Dr. G. Hamilton Francis, asked the club and its guests to listen to a few minutes of spell-binding oratory. W. C. Brown, the first speaker enumerated, that weaved witnesses of 1956 and extended a cordial welcome to the guests to come to Norwalk whenever opportunity was hers. W. L. Davis made access to the welcome on behalf of the local members of the Bar Association. The President then table upon Henry A. Dolphin, of Norwalk, who made a splendid talk in the need of the Negro make-up and would enter into his own. 'And it knew, he said, "That hour is not far hence, and some of these men sitting here, must hasten its coming.' D. Lionel Francis of Philadelphia made a very spirited talk in which he eniglored the Negro on the distance he has come ahead in spite of obstacles and obstructions. Editor P. B. Young said the speechmaking by congratulating the club on the first birth of its existence, and predeed great things for our group of Norfolk coming through the collective efforts of the men assembled around that festive board.

The four or five Negro residential sections of Norfolk are already crowded and are being sold over and over; and frequent turnovers usually mean increasing prices. If you buy a home in Huntersville this month for $3000, and for any reason you decided to sell three months later, you would want at least $2200—your purchaser in turn would want to sell for $3500 and so on. Our people must live some whee: hence they have no other recourse, but buy at the best price they can. The actor enters in to this consideration; when a white section is finally turned 'colote', the white owner demands prices ranging from $500 to $1000 more for the premises than he would date to expect from a purchaser of his race. The Remedy?—Negroes must pool their capital, and develop tracts in and about cities for their own people.

The value of the dollar at the corner grocery and at the market today is 55.5 compared with 100 cents in July 1914. In simpler language, you could buy almost twice as much with the dollar twelve years ago than you can today. Living costs have advanced very rapidly in the last few months. Retail prices of food have gone up 9 percent, while clothing and fuel prices have advanced also. The one important item in the family budget that has shown a tendency to drop is rent, which has fallen about 5 per cent. While the cost of living has advanced, wage rates on the whole have gone still higher since 1913; as living costs advanced 71 per cent in this period, wage rates have increased 138 per cent. Y. W. C.

P. was held in the Sunday School room of the Bank Street Baptist Church on Wednesday night of last week. Dr. G. Jarvis Bowens, presided in the stead of Atty. D. H. Edwards. After regular reports were made on the condition of the Branch by officials, a very large number of officers made by the presiding officer concerning the two cases the branch is conducting at present, viz., the Strother Murder Case and the Fight on the Segregation Ordinance. Various phases of civic conditions as they affected our group and the attitude the Local Branch should assume toward them were discussed at length by J. O. Gilliam, M. S. Giddings, G. W. B. Brown, M. S. Carrington, Levi O. M. Brown, Sewey members expressed the vindication over the jitney situation and requested suitable action from the Branch to bring about a remedy. The secretary, G. W. G. Brown, presented the report of the Membership Committee which called for a monster drive for 5000 members May 3-14th. The Chapter enthusiastically adopted the report and pledged its support to see that the goal of the committee is reached. awake little tots, under the management of their efficient teacher, Mrs. Margurite Bundle, assisted by Mrs. H. A. Robinson, who presided at the piano, and Miss Margurite Moseley. "Earth's Awakening" is a two scene winter and spring drama, that is wonderfully appealing to the imagination of tots; and their rendition of it was enjoyed by every one. They recited, and sang and acted with no thought of the audience that looked on and applauded. The color scheme was white and green with every variation of the spring flowers which made the stage and children very beautiful to look upon. Odessa Robinson, Sarah Duncan, Evelyn Johnson and George Seasom, were the leading characters of the evening. And Mendelson's Spring Song, song by Miss Margurite Moseley and dramatized by ten tots was the best offering of the evening. The kindergarten is meeting a great need in the educational life of Norfolk and it is gratifying to see its growth and general acceptance by the thoughtful mothers and fathers of the community. REV.

"For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I give the charge." These words reveal that Titus was to do what circumstances would not permit Paul to attempt. So one day I shall be no longer able to lead you. You must thunder some one do what I can no longer do. This is the most important. Therefore, my specific mention of the matter in my will for your assistance." So began Rev Richard H. Bowling's final sermon based on his will. He was preaching on First Baptist Church After The Pastor's Death. No Protracted Vacaney Continuing he said, "I desire that you feel under no obligation whatever to postpone the election of my successor in the pastorate for any lengthy period of time, say six months or a year, by count- ment of honoring a former pastor by long delay, prepapling to call a successor with disadvantages, the interval much bitterness is engendered, rumors arise, factions spring up, and abuses of the office of deacon frequently come about. "With this in mind, then, I desire that you hold a duly adver- tized meeting of the membership within a month or six weeks after my death to consider the matter of securing a competent pastor.

No "Candidating" "While casting about for a suitable pastor, some man should be selected to regularly fill the pulpit who has no aspirations for the job and who, therefore, would not be tempted to cause difficulty for the pulpit committee . . . When the committee agrees upon a man, he shall be invited to preach for the church. If he fails to impress the whole church because of a temporary indisposition or inclement weather, he may be invited for a return engagement in a few weeks. If he makes a favorable impression, then the committee shall notify the church of its choice and recommend the man's election, bringing in only his name. "The present-day method of hearing many men trying to outpreach the other and so win their way into a church by one Sunday's oratory is both very faulty and unfair. Besides, it is very embarrassing to a man with exalted ideas of what a sermon should be. No Politics "Anything less than an open election with the intention of all concerned to abide by the will of the majority is unfair, inductive of trouble, un-Baptist, un-Christian. There should be no attempt on the part even of a conscientious committee to force through its church. The majority will be asked to support the new pastor. Then, let the majority say who he shall be." "Above all things, remember that when I am dead, I can be no longer your pastor. Your new leader should be called with the understanding that he has ability to lead in his own right. Do not be forever dimming into his ears what Bowling did and what methods he used. Conditionless will change the character of the membership will change. Give the new leader free rein to follow his own ideas and mould the church as he sees fit." Richard Holmes Dies M. Mr. Richard Honnes who for more than 17 years was one of the leading barbers of this city, died Monday, March 15, at 3:30 p. m. Mr. Holmes had been in failing health for more than a years. The end came peacefully at his home, 682 Brewer street. He was a native of Ollie, N. C., and a faithful member of Jerusalem Baptist Church with which he connected himself about 11 years ago. His many friends mourn his departure. Mr. Holmes is survived by a widow, Mrs. Carrie Moore; his widows; and Mrs. N. C.; three sisters, Mesdames Bertha McCullins, Ruth Houston, Eva Oast, and a host of relatives. The funeral services were held at Jerusalem Baptist Church, Rev. A. Hobbs, the pastor officiating.

A PROMINENT PASTOR DIES IN RICHMOND (By Associated Negro Press) Richmond Va., Mar. 16—Dr. Z. D. Lewis, pastor of the Second Baptist Church of this city died here yesterday following a stroke of paralysis. The minister was stricken Sunday, March 7, while conducting the regular Sunday morning services at his church and was preparing to deliver his morning sermon when the attack came. He was rushed to his home on E. Leigh street, but never fully recovered consciousness. Another stroke which overcame the pastor on Friday, March 12, was fatal. Dr. Lewis has borne an affliction for the last eight years following his first stroke of paralysis which occurred on July 4, 1918, while delivering an oration at the Woodland cemetery, the occasion of the death of the famous Rev. John Jasper. Dr. Lewis had served Church for thirty-seven years; his thirty-seventh anniversary was scheduled to be celebrated the Sunday which followed his death. He was closely connected with a number of organizations, including the Independent Order of Saint Luke, of which he was a trustee, and an executive committee member. His affiliation with that organization extended over a period of about thirty-five years. He had wide acquaintance and fellowship in most of the leading religious organizations among which are the National Baptist Convention, the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Board, and some fraternals, one of which is the Order of Love and Charity, of which Dr. Lewis was Grand Lecturer and editor of its official publication. GRACE P. E. CHURCH Last Sunday at Grace Church there was a very good congregation present at both the morning and evening services. At the 11 o'clock service, Rev. Harris delivered a very helpful sermon from Judges 5:23 on the subject: "Usefulness." This was what Morez stands for the rector sermon, to sicken one's dutry and to bring others the burden that rightly belongs to us. Three things were emphasized (1) Cowardice; under this head physical and moral cowards were spoken of. The latter being most important—to dare to stand up for the right in the face of hostile criticism. (2) False humility. Those who said that because I can do such a little I will do nothing. The feeding of the 5000 by Christ was used here very effectively to show that we should give ourselves and what we are to Christ, not minding how small the gift. (3) Laziness. Men say because they have worked on Saturday they will sleep on Sunday. T he old hymn "Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus," being very appropriate was sung as the recessional. At the six o'clock service, Rev Harris meached from Isa. 60:1. Next Sunday being Palm Sunday, the services will be held at 11 and 6 o'clock. The church will be decorated especially for the day with palms and the choir will render special music. The processional will be "Ride On, Ride On In Majesty." Rev. Harris will preach a sermon for the day and the choir will render "Jerusalem," by Parker. The recessional will be "All Glory, Laud and Honour To Thee, Redemmer, King."

TOBIAS will preach at the First Baptist Church, this Sunday morning. It is predicted that he will be heard by a record-breaking crowd. He is the successful senior secretary of the Colored Men's Department of the Y. M. C. A., and is well-known to the students and graduates of every colored college and normal school in America. He is also justly famous for his courageous championing of the cause of the American Negro. Just this week he addressed a mammoth inter-racial mass meeting in the municipal auditorium for the National Congress. He was selected seventy thousand student delegates from white southern colleges at Memphis, Tenn., bringing to them a message as to what should be their attitude to their colored brethren. This will be Norfolk's opportunity to hear an unusual man, one of the race's best trained ministers who heads the largest laymen's religious movement in the country.

Everyone Can Read It as a Serial in Norfolk Journal and Guide Beginning Saturday, April 10th the energizing forces of our national life, its capital, its inventive nature, its business prosperity, and industrial activities have shifted or less during the past few decades. An industrial study of the nation in Pennsylvania brings some interesting facts. An event is significant. The nation has brought thousands of Negro workers to this state, which workers sought to provide such a stable employment and to live social conditions. Conditions have changed. Numbers of textiles industries moved inward, and the recent immigration laws have helped Negroes more ways than one. With these changing conditions there are also noted the fact that the Negroes are coming North, the men from the North are During the period from January 1922 to September 1, 1925, as many as 1,323 Negroes were employed in certain railway capacities. The industrial workers in the main industries numbered more than 4,500; while there were seven negroes employed by coal mining companies. To make the latter interesting, it is learned that a survey conducted by the department of Labor during the year period covered by the report of railroads in Pennsylvania a gross employment of over 1,700; a coal mining company a gross employment of over 4,000; a gross employment of over 5,400, and in the general industries a gross employment of nearly 24,000. In all class however, the number of fe- male Negroes employed is so small as to be practically negligible. The greatest increase in the number of Negroes employed was in the general industries or manufacturers, the coal companies and the railroads, which reported the year 1923 as representing the peak of Negro employment. The question has been asked as to why this increase in Negro employment" the reasons may be followed fallowness; the increase in volume of orders; shortage of white labor, and shortage of foreign labor due to restricted immigration. Contractors generally accept Negro labor and it is reported that the increase in the number of Negroes employed by contractors during the last year (1925) was due to the increasing numbers of large contracts for seasonal jobs, such as bridges, state highway construction, city improvements, and to the increasing shortage of foreign labor, especially in the rural areas of immigration. In some instances Negro laborers or workers were employed to take the places of white strikers. Negroes In Industry Denendable In numbers of cases the employment of Negroes in industrial activity was more or less an experiment. It was the first time that they had been given a tryout in any great degree. A questionnaire sent to the various industries brought out the fact that Negroes in industrial employment could be depended on. One response stated that "there have been times when we have RACE RELATIONS FEATURED IN A SOUTHWIDE MEET Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett Addresses Leaders Of Quarter Million Women; Makes Profound Impression. Raleigh, N. C., March 24—The Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in annual session here last week, gave prominent place to the question of race relations, Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, president of the Virginia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and of the Virginia Industrial School for Girls, delivering the principal address, Mrs. Barrett, a very winning speaker, portrayed simply but powerfully the story of the struggle of colored women against the odds of custom, injustice, ignorance a n d environment. The address made a profound impression on the large group of women leaders gathered from parts of the South. Other speakers on the same subject were Mrs. W. A. Newen, social service superintendent of the Council, Miss Estelle Haskins, one of the council secretaries, and Mrs. Maud Henderson, of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. The report of the Council's Race Relations Commission brought out the fact that standard interracial program has been formulated, providing for committees on this subject in all the local auxiliaries, which number about 6,000 and have a total membership of 250,000 women. The objectives of these committees are as follows: (1) A better knowledge of the achievements and possibilities of Negroes, as a basis of appreciation and respect; (2) First-hand study of the progress and happiness of colored people; (3) The acceptance of definite responsibility for these conditions; and (4) A program of cooperation for their improvement. Reports in hand indicate that hundreds of local groups of women are at work along these lines. found that some of them could not be depended upon." One employer of one thousand four hundred, stated that "They require constant supervision to keep them active." The dependability, however of the Negro industrially speaking compares favorably with that of other groups likewise employed. It is interesting to note that one employer of sixty-four Negroes says, "We have had only one case of dishonesty in the last five years but, he goes on to state, "they require more supervision than our white employees." In several instances though the Negroes were favorably reported upon, two employers agreeing that "the majority are more dependable than present white labor," measuring up to a high standard of efficiency. Adaptability To Industry The Negro has been found adaptable to industry in almost all instances. Manufacturers state they are fairly easy to break in and that they are found adaptable to common labor. They fit in remarkably well says one employer for work around furnaces and for construction work. In one case a manufacturer employing 1,400 Negroes finds them valuable as unskilled laborers and as helpers to skilled workmen, an industrial employer of nearly 500 Negroes finds "they are adaptable to sixty per cent of our work." Strange to say, most of the reports received in answer to the questionnaire referred to the colored worker as being adaptable for skilled or semi-skilled industry. Even where there is 9,000 Negroes were employed by a certain railroad, this was found to be the case. It was stated that the colored worker was "more obedient and quicker to comprehend the work without complaint." Perhaps there is one field where the Negro excels and that is in concrete work, for in all cases under consideration they were found satisfactory, particularly in concrete work. Liability To Accident The Negro worker is a safe risk. It is shown that the "Negro's liability to accident does not exceed the average liability of the white worker doing the same kind of work," and in more than one instance it has been proven that the Negro is "less liable to accident than the white man," and "on account of his timidity the Negro is more careful than the average white man doing the same kind of work." Health of the Negro Worker Negro workers in industry in Pennsylvania are more or less healthy. The health of all Negro workers is reported as "good," and the time lost from work on account of sickness in most cases is almost negligible. In the large steel mills through which the time lost by Negro worker was comparatively small; in fact, the time lost by the colored workers has been reported by many large concerns as hardly noticeable. Future of the Negro in Industry As has been stated, in several cases, the employment of large numbers of Negroes in the various industries throughout the state was an experiment. The work has been so satisfactory that most of those having once employed Negroes are willing where conditions warrant to employ more. Through processes of elimination NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE MAKES STIRRING RACE RELATIONS SPEECH MRS. JANIE PORTER BARRETT there has been developed in several establishments a considerable force of Negroes in packing and loading departments, and this force has been satisfactory. The opportunity for steady dependable Negroes is good in most of the industries, but yet the color line is rigidly drawn as to certain kinds of employment by many. The coal companies differ as to their future policy in employing Negroes. One concern states that it will continue to employ efficient Negro labor; while another states that it will only employ Negro labor when they cannot possibly get white labor, and still another states that Negroes will be employed only for tunnel work. A number of large employers require Negroes to import Negro labor from the Southern states. There are fifty-six jobs or occupations in which Negroes are employed, and it would appear that in only a few instances has there appeared any real racial prejudice or antagonism.

Credit Due Our White Friends Prevention Better Than Care Breaking the Child's Will Taking Chances Extravagant Titles The Negro is extravagant in many ways, but this extravagance is especially manifest in his use of titles to describe his achievements and designate his enterprises which of necessity are weak and circumscribed. The terms "sense," "superior," "paramount," "unexcelled," "universal," and others of this class are used to describe and designate activities and enterprises of mega-accomplishments, a small margin of success in certain cities in Virginia, a little one-room pressing shop bears the name, "The National Tailoring Co." In another place, a small four-chair barber shop is "The Tonsoral Parlor." In a Western city another little pressing shop is designated by the amusing title of "National Pantitiorium, For Men and Women." And this parading of titles goes on almost "ad infinitum." In peril in no lines is this tendency toward extravagance in names more manifest than in the names given our insurance companies. "The Mammoth," "The National Benefit," and "The Supreme." Among the white people the most extensive enterprises of this line have conservative titles and these for the most part, indicate some particular principle for which they stand. For instance we find the names, "Equitable," "Reserve d'," "Mutual," "Prudential," "Conservative," "Mutual Denfit," "Reliance," and all like, all conservative titles, notwithstanding that anyone of them is worth more than all of ours combined. Could an institution supported only by a minority group be national in scope and significance? Could one grow to be mammoth in just a year or two? Could an enterprise having even the solid support of so small a contingent of citizens as our race includes, become supreme in any line? Could an institution conducted by people who are so far in arrears in their development, as compared with set a standard or be a standard? The unfortunate failure of the (Continued on Page Ten.)

(By Associate Negro Health) Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Mar. 21—Initiated as a movement purely for race benefit, the annual observance of National Negro Health Week, is constantly becoming one of the most influential factors in promoting better race relations. It has been demonstrated during the twelve years of organized health campaigns in behalf of the Negro that greater inter-racial co-operation can be effected in this field than in any other. Not only have strictly health agencies, black and white, volunteered their services in the conduct of the health week to be observed this year during the week of April 4, but business firms and social service agencies have also signified their willingness to aid. The federal bureau of Public Health Service has sent out letters to the health officers of 21 states urging them to co-operate in the drive for better Negro health. Likewise have the National Tuberculosis Association, the Inter-Racial Commission, t h e Jeanes Foundation, the Extension Bureau of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, The American Red Press, and other national organizations have taken an interest in putting the campaign over. The National Medical Association thus directed Negro Press is producing a headline in the various colored publications, of the country. Especially active have southern associations been in working for the aims of the National Negro Health Week. Dr. S. W. Welch, Alabama State health officer, has sent letters to the health department of other states requesting them to turn their attention to the health needs of the Negro. Accordingly, Dr. F. J. Underwood, Mississippi health officer, has designed one of this weekly suggestions building to the consideration of the Negro health. In Arkansas the state department of education plans to send twelve of its county workers to summer school to take courses in health work. 38 STATES HAD NO LYNCHINGS IN YEAR OF 1925 Commission On Race Relations of The Federal Council of Churches Issues Honor Roll. Washington, D. C. March 21—"Moh law has thrown down the grantit to the churches and all other organizations standing for law and order and justice through the courts," says the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches in announcing its fourth annual Non-lyaching Roll of Honor. Sixteen lynchings were recorded in 1925, showing an increase of one over the preceding year, when sixteen were reported, the statements points out. All the victims were Negroes. "For the more, the goal of achieving a lynchship in 1925, which the churches were striving not to be reached this year, for already during January there has been one Negro put to death by a nady," the report says. Two unusual events are recorded. For the first time in the records of the civil Texas was free of lynching and death had its first lynching in forty-seven wars. "During the past year five states which had previously been on the Honor Roll, namely: Arkansas s. s., Ohio, Virginia, Alabama and Utah, lost their places because of molurm within their borders," continues the document. "In the case of Utah, there had not been a lynching previously since 1884. Texas was placed on the Roll because for the first time since the beginning of full records of lynching in 1882 this state was clear of lynching. Four states, Illinois, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee, which had been on the Roll in former years, were restored because their borders were free of lynching in 1925. Thirty-eight states were free of lynching in 1925 and ten states disgraced by it. "The fourth annual Roll of Honor of the states free from lynching in 1925 is as follows: "States that have never had a record of a lynching: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. "Additional states that have no record of a lynching since 1886: Connecticut, Maine and New Jersey. "Additional states that have no record of a lynching during the past twenty years: Delaware, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Gifts of $1,000 each were made by the Louisiana, the Unity, the People's and the Liberty Industrial Life Insurance Companies and by the San Juanito Club. Bishop R. W. Jones, Hon. W. W.

Because they contain news of (By Associated Negro Press.) Durham, N. C., Mar. 24.—Leading business men of this city have become amazed at the increased mortality of the Negro, not only in sections of the South, but in the cities of the North affected by the migration. Statistics disclosed by actuaries of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, especially among the young people in the south, indicate that the North indicate an increase in mortality that is well high alarming. "There is only one way out," declared C. C. Spurling, president of the company, in a special interview with the Associated Negro Press, "and that is an improvement in housing conditions, in the cities and rural districts, and a continuous campaign of the press, in living conditions in schools and public. These efforts, we must have hearty support of business men, and well wishers of the race everywhere. "In the big housing developments throughout the country, we must not only be beneficiaries, but we must initiate plans of real development. This is especially true in the cities of the North where thousands are employed and men whom should devise and means themselves to relieve living conditions in insanitary locations. The Durham group, famous the country over for their co-operative developments, back their theories up with actions. A tour of the new residential district will prove this conclusively. Through their various organizations they are putting up houses, modern different, equipped conveniences, they are making new streets, and they are putting for early and well-known citizens. The city government is co-operating in splendid shape. Durham has a city manager and council. Business League Preparing For Cleveland Dudham recently put on a citywide drive for development of the Negro business League. It was successful. They have over 1,200 members, the city was electrified white and black, by the vigor of the drive. The daily newspapers carried columns on the achievements, and the reaction has been found in new ideas, new enterprises and new buildings. T he League has a full time secretary. Already preparations are under way for the approaching session of the National Negro Business League in Cleveland, Ohio, in Augu- ust. Goo, W. Cox, president; H. M. Michauex, vice president; R. McCants Andrews, secretary; J. H. Bailey, assistant secretary; J. C. Scarborough, treasurer; and E. R. Merrick, budget manager. "We are going to take one or two carloads of delegates to Cleveland to the national convention, and we are inviting the 1927 session to Durham," said secretary Andrews. "If any other city can approach Durham in entertainment of the League, let it stand forth and draw to the Secretary of Negro Press. A visit here would convince the most skeptical of the statement. Health, Better Health, More Health Dr. Clyde Donnell, Secretary of the National Medical Association, who is also chief medical officer of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co, is not only pushing "Health Week" with vigor and intensity, assisted by Dr. Roscoe Brown, but will go to the National Association Convention in Philadelphia in August, with an enlarged program on health development. "We must look after the health of these people," said Dr. Donnell in great seriousness.

ARROWS (Continued from Page Nine) Standard by which millions of dollars of Negro money will flow into the coffers of whites is evidence of the unwisdom of using such extravagant honourable titles. Less show, less parading of titles will mean more sympathy, less ridicule, and less justifiable criticism in case of misfortune. Credit Due Our White Friends By this term is meant those of the Arglo-Saxons who are friendly toward us and who contend for justice for us—and they are many. Many Negroes are foolish enough to say, "All white folks hate us," but they have but to think of those who are connected with the N. A. A. C. P.," those who teach in Negro schools in the South, and many others, to realize their mistake and the injustice of such assertions to those who are real friends. Negro leaders, especially preachers and editors, are ever ready to condemn any offense committed against us by white people; we are indignant at any insult offered the race; we are inclined to retaliate; but few go out of the way to give just credit to those who are friendly and helpful. The writer got off the train, at Marion, Iowa, and inquired of a white police officer the way to Sanders Sanitarium. The officer at first gave directions, then said, "Well, I am not so busy, so I'll just walk over and show you." He went all the way, about six blocks, waited until the proprietor answered the bell, and said, "Mr. Sanders, I brought this gentle man a STUDENTS TAUGHT PRACTICAL BUSINESS METHODS IN WEST VIRGINIA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Institute, W. Va.—Because of the increasing demand for more and better trained Negro business men in West Virginia and the country generally the facilities of the Department of Business Administration of this school have been increased, and Miss Theodore Fontenue, M. B. A., Columbia added to the staff of courses. Aim of Courses. Recognizing that the majority of here, since he is a stranger and did not know the way" There are no unnoticed cases; but they go unnoticed anl unmentioned. It would be to our advantage to give publicity to such acts of courtesy in order to encourage those who are disposed to be fair and to be helpful toward us. Prevention Better Than Cure There is an old adage which reads, "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure," but there are cases where "an ounce of prevention is better than a ton of cure. There are injuries which could be prevented but once sustained never can be cured. Did anyone ever make a broken vessel as good as it was before it was broken, or a torn garment equal to what it was before it was torn? Of course not! And this is true of character—an act of life in concrete, for a broken body by a dissipation of successes and mistakes, may still be useful and helpful to humanity, but such a life never can measure up to the possibilities which were before it previous to the This truth should be considered by parents who say, "Let the boys sow their wild oats," and "Let the girls have their pleasure while they are young." Following this course means that they will sustain injuries to their character and to their very lives which never can be repaired; and that having suffered thus, there never can be a return to original purity and innocence. The wounds may heal, but the sores will be there and the places will be soaked and the moral fibres weakened. Yes prevention is a thousand time better than cure. Breaking The Child's Will "I will break that child's will or kill him," is an expression often used. And often it is true that to break a will because he needs one and to break it, to weaken it, to destroy it, means to hinder him through life. When inclined to go wrong, when face to face with temptation, when evil advisors are exerting their influence, when vital interests are at stake, the child will need his will. And when duty makes insistent demands, he will need his will in order to meet these demands and discharge these duties. A child with a broken will almost surely will follow the line of least resistance, will be swayed by almost any influence, and he will struggle; therefore the very struggle is to train the child's will, guide it, control it, curb it; but break it NEVER! Taking Chances It is commendable to "take a chance," that is to venture in efforts toward self-improvement or human betterment; but it is exceedingly foolish to risk vital interests for some fleeting pleasure or questionable profit. A boy knows the danger of evil associates; he knows that such associations will endanger his character, discredit him, disgrace him, but, for sake of excitement, or as those young Chicago murd er says, "for the sake of thrill," he takes a chance—and he, lands in prison. A girl knows that a young principle she is aware of his dealings with others girls; she has been warred, the after time; but she wants someone to take her out, or she wants "steady beau," so she takes a chance; and she is disgraced and her family must share it and suffer with her. A young man admires a beautiful face, a lovely form, a graceful carriage, a musical voice, a magnetic personality, but he knows the woman is "loose," that she associates with questionable women and men low of character. The song of the siren and the smiles of the vampire intoxicate him; he takes a chance, and he is infected with an incurable malady which unfits him for life's highest duties. A young woman knows a man-is married; that his intentions-to her cannot but mean illicit love with her, but she is sorely sorrow, remorse, heart-ache, death and ruin. But she takes a chance, and surrenders to the pleasure of "stolen sweets," perhaps she becomes bold enough to flirt publicly with him and awaken the jealousy of his wife. Finally, the wife finds the other woman's letter in her husband's pocket, and this young woman is disgraced, if not murdered. She took a chance! An individual—is custodian of a trust fund; there comes the temptation to divert a part of it to his own use. He knows how others have suffered for just such action; he resists, for a long time, then he yields—he takes a chance; and he ends prison walls. Negroes will cooperate in work while concerns.

First hand information of the state are stressed. First hand information was obtained on the business needs of the state by a comprehensive and intensive study made by the faculty and students of the Business Department. The Vital Need A critical analysis of the data collected from this study showed that the vital need of this state in business is creative young men and women who will go into the field as pioneers, organizing and maintaining new business. Mercantile establishments such as grocery stores, meat markets, shoe stores, modiste shops, barrier shops, etc., are in demand all over the state. In all the communities surveyed, the managers of the inhabitants was that small enterprises of this sort, managed well and with reasonable prices charged for their commodities, would gain the wholehearted support of the Negroes of the community. Corporation Organized According to the report of the Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics, thirty-one corporations were organized by Negroes of this State with an aggregate capital of $1,167,000 in 1922-23. The stockholders of these concerns are mostly the members of the communities in which they are located. So far, these concerns have been successful, having paid dividends and, most important, have increased the confidence of the people of their business leaders. The importance of such information should not be underestimated. Building and loan associations, office buildings, banks, insurance companies, and welfare agencies amusement which requires a large outlay of capital will be readily put up by people who have confidence in the integrity and ability of their leaders in business. Young men with character, initiative and vision will find people ready to cooperate with them. Knowing that we must attempt to turn out from this Institution young men and women who will meet these needs, the Department is offering these courses which will prepare them to do the work effectively. In small concerns, such as stores, a knowledge of accounting and business mathematics is essential. An accurate balance sheet is indispensable. Accounting and Business Mathematics are therefore required subjects, and great emphasis is laid upon them. Course in Advertising. The right kind of advertising pays. A course in advertising designed primarily for stores in window displays are important is given to students closely with this course is a course in Salesmanship. Selling is an art. Salesmen are artists. Courses in the Psychology of Salesmanship and Selling are offered which should enable our students to sell a pound of meat artistically. Through the medium of various projects the students are given the opportunity to apply their theory. The College Book Store, Inc., owned and managed by students of the Business Administration Department, enables the student to put in practice his principles of accounting, advertising and salamzain, and also to develop any original or creative ability he has.

C. Las- siter delivered two able sermons from his pulpit. on. Sunday. His subject at 11 o'clock was: “The Value of Enthusiasm,” selected from the passage of Scripture 2 Peter 1:13. Ho said that, in order for a. Ghtistian to be. filled with enthusiasm he must have abiding faith in his God. He also said that this enthusiasm must be fed if-one expects to receive the bless- ‘ings which are in store for him. Ho also, said that enthusiasm was contugious and if the. Christian is guided.by the Almighty Hand, he will be so filled with this great spirit he will cause Christianity to be spread throughout the world At 7:30, he preached from a text {taken from Thess. 2:16, “Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and |Goil, even our Father, which hath loved us and hath given us ever- gating ‘consolation and good hope through grace.” Each one . who witnessed ‘the service was helped hy his discourse when he hid fin- shes telling them of “False Hope” and “Good Hope”. Rev. W. ‘A. Butts, the young minister, who has just been sent out from the jchurch, was presented with "Book ‘of Sermons” as a gift from the ‘church.

Go After The Conventions Within the ensuing months a number of local citizens will leave the city to attend conventions and annual gatherings to which they have been elected delegates. We are a convention people, most likely the bulk of our travel money being spent in going to and returning from conventions. Last year we was estimated that the race spent $250,000 with the nation's common carriers set for convention travel. Each such delegate should carry among them a kit of objectives the idea of securing the next annual meeting of his organization for Norfolk, provided of course such an idea would not be violative of the spirit of fair pay as concerns other cities. In recent years Norfolk's reputation as a convention city has been greatly enhanced. Last year he had an annual meeting here practically every week during August and September. there is no reason why we cannot continue to add our reputation in this respect. We have accommodations adequate to the needs of all our state and several of our national conventions. We have fine railroad and tramway terminals; natural attractions which make outdoor entertainment highly dubious, and within close proximity we have the grandest historical scenery to be found anywhere in the country, which makes greening a real pleasure; and added to these, we have that far-famed hospitality. As a people we are accused of having the convention habit. Probably we have, and that being true let us get the habit of bringing them to Norfolk. Good conventions, entrained by good people leave good money and carry away good advertising. Within the ensuing months a number of local citizens will leave the city to attend conventions and annual gatherings to which they have been elected delegates. We are a convention people, most likely the bulk of our travel money being spent in going to and returning from conventions. Last year it was estimated that the race spent $25,000,000 with the nation's common carriers just for convention travel. Those who go about attending to the business of others without authority to do so are usually strife breeders. We have too many such people for the good of the Nation, and far too many of them are in Congress and the state legislatures who have a knack of fathering legislation outside of the constitution or for which there is no useful purpose in the needs of those legislated for or against. Each such delegate should carry among his kit of objectives the idea of securing the next annual meeting of his organization for Norfolk, provided of course such an idea should not be violative of the spirit of fair play as concerns other cities.

We had come to believe that there were laws, and the circumvention and perversion of laws that nullified the 14th and 15th Amendments in the South. We now learn from the Governors of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky that the disfranchised groups in the South are self-disfranchised by failure to comply with the laws of the states which are applicable to all alike. We are always alearning. Now is the time to get the hoe, the rake the spade and the seeds and begin an attack on the cost of living by planning and cultivating a nice garden. Of course, that goes only for those who have or can find a few feet of available ground in which to do the digging and planting. A good garden helps to cut down the cost of living and helps to raise good muscles. Don't neglect the flowers, even if you can have only a single bed or bush. Get out the paint can and the brush and spruce up things in general for the spring. As a people we are accused of having the convention habit. Probably we have, and that being true let us get the habit of bringing them to Norfolk. Good conventions, entertained by good people leave good money and carry away good advertising. What Negro Education Has Cost We are all interested in the question of education and insist that we shall be allowed to get as much of it out of the public taxation as others and out of the gifts of the philanthropic and our own contributions possible. The spirit to get education wherever it can be got is one of the most markable and hopeful in the character of the race. People do not long and strive for anything simply for the fun of it; they have purpose in doing so, whether they are fully conscious of it or not. In the minority report on the annual appropriation to Howard University, which one Democratic member has invariably denied it his duty to oppose, Mr. Lowery Mississippi and Mr. Tydings of Maryland outstanding the significant fact that from 1879 to 1925, inclusive, a grand total of $4,150,5.50 has been appropriated for the support of Howard University, "All these appropriations have been illegal," says the minority report. Then, to prove that these appropriations are not necessary, that Negro education has been taken care of without it, the report says that, since 1865, religious and philanthropic organizations have contributed $63,500,000 to Negro education in South, the Negroes themselves contributing $30,000,000. Since 1919 these institutions have had an income of $10,000,000. These vast expenditures for education do, of course, include those from general taxation for maintenance of the public schools, to which the Negro has contributed as share in equal measure with other citizens of the time and place. That the Negro has contributed as much $30,000,000 in an independent way to his own education within the past fifty years, and built independent schools and colleges and churches and homes, besides paying his share of the public school taxation, is an object lesson which should appeal to all fair-minded people and give the race the assurance it needs to keep on in the way that it has been going in order to secure the high calling which is in American citizenship. We are all interested in the question of education and insist that we shall be allowed to get as much of it out of the public taxation as others and out of the gifts of the philanthropic and our own contributions as possible. The spirit to get education wherever it can be get is one of the most remarkable and hopeful in the character of the race. People do not long and strive for anything simply for the fun of it; they have a purpose in doing so, whether they are fully conscious of it or not. The next President of Howard University, becomes an object of interest. Who will he be? President J. Stanley Durkee, who has accepted the pastorate of Plymouth Congregational Church, Henry Ward Beecher's famous church, in Brooklyn, New York, has had a stormy occupation of the office, and the troubles which have developed under him are not all yet settled satisfactorily. He will leave these to his successor, who, if he be the right man, will have no great deal of a task in straightening out the tangle. Many naturally single out Dr. Emmet J. Scott, the secretary-treasurer of the University, as a suitable successor, and we all feel that he is amply qualified by education, temperament and experience, but he says that he does not want the position. He would prefer to remain in his present position, if his connection with the university is to be continued. Dr. John Hope of Morehouse College, Dean Kelly Miller, and others have been "mentioned," and we should like to see some one of them selected. In the minority report on the annual appropriation to Howard University, which some Democratic member has invariably deemed it his duty to oppose, Mr. Lowry of Mississippi and Mr. Tydings of Maryland bring out the significant fact that from 1879 to 1925, inclusive, a grand total of $4,150, $15.50 has been appropriated for the support of Howard University, "All these appropriations have been illegal," says the minority report. Then, to prove that these appropriations are not necessary, that Negro education has been taken care of without it, the report says that, since 1865, religious and philanthropic organizations have contributed $63,500,000 to Negro education in the South, the Negroes themselves contributing $30,000,000. Since 1919 these institutions have had an income of $1,000,000. These vast expenditures for education do not, of course, include those from general taxation for maintenance of the public schools, to which the Negro has contributed his share in equal measure with other citizens of the time and place. Are The Haitians Prospering Under American Occupation? The intelligence of Haiti, the leading citizens who used to have a revolution once a year when the coffee crop filled the national treasury, and who kept the country in a condition of revolution so that they might profit, have just issued a statement in which they arraign the American government for usurping their liberties and imposing on them a system of government they do not approve, and in this they have justice on their side; but they claim that American occupation is tyrannical, extravagant and has developed increased immorality among the people. The Patriotic Union of Haiti has appointed Pereval Thoby to represent them in this country and to bring their troubles to the attention of the American people thru the regular channels. That the Negro has contributed as much as $30,000,000 in an independent way to his own education within the past fifty years, and built independent schools and colleges and churches and homes, besides paying his share of the public school taxation, is an object lesson which should appeal to all fair-minded people and give the race the assurance it needs to keep on in the way that it has been going in order to secure the high calling which is in American citizenship. We are bound to sympathize with the Haitian people who are aggrieved, but we are also bound to look at the other side of the question and weigh the facts.

The money is being raised by the Jews of America for the aid of their kin in Eastern Europe who are facing starvation, death and extinction. David A. Brown, national chairman of the campaign, has sent out a SOS call to every state and local chairman asking that they raise immediately 10 per cent of the amounts already pledged to be sent at once to Dr. Bernard Kahn, European Director of the Joint Distribution Committee, in response to a number of alarming cablegrams from him stating that unless help is immediately forthcoming, thousands of men, women and children will die. Moe Levy, of this city, State Chairman and J. B. Hecht, local chairman, are bestirring themselves to make a quick response to Dr. Brown's SOS. Commissioner John H. Russell, the head of the American Occupation, has just made a report in which he claims that the Haitians were never in a more moral and prosperous conditions. The customs revenues have so increased that it will be possible to reduce the public debt considerably. Commissioner Russell admits that the relations of his Occupation and that of the native editors are very strained, but he insists that these newspapers have their own ends to serve. Perhaps. Editors of them have spent much time in prison to prove that they have got some part of the ends they seek to serve. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE desires that the people of Haiti shall have the sort of government they want. We are sure they do not want the sort of government they have had for a century, in which revolution and disturbance of the industrial system and constant increase in the foreign indebtedness went hand in hand. As we understand it the great mass of the Haitian people want a staple government with proper encouragement to agricultural and other development of the splendid resources of the country, with just administration of the laws, in the campaign is a great humanitarian effort. We believe that its success is assured. Human suffering is the concern of us all and must be alleviated, regardless of in what quarters of the globe or among what Norfolk Journal and Guide lineage of people it exists, so long as there is human ingenuity and material wealth that may be garnered for the alleviation. As a group we have been singularly benefited by that spirit of tolerance in the Jews. They have given countless millions for the health and education of our people. The names of Julius Rosenwald, Louis Marshall and numerous others are names to be conjured with in relation to the mighty succor they have been to our group. The splendid munificence of numerous other Jews has been to us a most helping hand. Somehow, we do not pretend to know the reason for it, but the Jew has shown for us a very general sympathy which is reciprocated. The American Jews hold in the hollow of their hands immense wealth. They are responsive to the calls of humanity. No doubt the needed money will go at once to Russia, Poland, Galicia and Besseraria to save the lives of those starving Jewish people, and the $15,000,000 should not come alone from the Jews. In their beneficence they recognize no racial bounds, and the cause which is now closest to their hearts, should be the cause of all races of men. For at the root and bottom we are of one common brotherhood. "The Greasy Domine" "The greasy domine" is a phrase used to describe a certain type of minister. In the during many summers.

The man wearing such an outfit usually is marked by some other familiar accompaniments. His skin is oily, his nose shiny, his teeth dirty, his face unshaven. The only way such a minister can rid himself of the sobriquet, "the greasy domine." is to have a care to his appearance. It is not always a matter of poverty. Frequently such a man possesses a razor and shaves himself. Does poverty prevent him from shaving every day? Often such a man spends hours sitting in some favorite meeting place discussing world problems and telling how Coolidge should run the government. If some of those precious hours were spent in some remunerative work, could he not purchase one new outfit a year? If such a man spent more time recruiting his church membership and keeping up its finances, he would not have to do any outside work to this end. The grateful people in an increased membership would gladly give him a suit, a pair of shoes, a hat, a tie, some shirts, handkerchiefs and socks. A few cents more in cash gifts and he could himself purchase the needed supplies of soap, "Mum," shaving and dental cream, shoe polish and whiskbroom. But this scornful phrase does not refer merely to the man of rundown appearance. Often one has in mind the minister's defects in character. He is untrustworthy and not dependable. He is marked by intrigue and insincerity. He is deceitful affable, the sort of person who tells you one thing, gibly assures you he is "with you," then does just the contrary and uses confidential information to your undoing. I do not wonder that decent people feel resentful to such a man and hasten to tar him with that sickening epithet "the greasy domine." But just as in the matter of clothes and outward appearance, so in the matter of character, a minister does not have to continue deserving such a reflection upon himself. Just as a new outfit improves one's appearance, so a new appreciation of one's position, a new determination to practice what one preaches, will change one's character and raise him in the estimation of those with whom he comes in contact. Neither in private nor in public can a minister afford to sanction the saying, "Don't do as you see me do, but as I tell you to do." Now as in the days of Paul a minister should be able to say without any reservation, "The things which you both * * * heard and saw in me, these things do."

Letters should be brief and to the point, not exceeding ten words. The publishers do have responsibility for the views herein expressed. Racial Consciousness Editor Journal and Guide. The article in last week's JOURNAL AND GUIDE by the Rev. R. H. Bowling under the caption, "Hampton Not To Blame," certainly portrays my personal feeling on the subject of racial consciousness, and in this connection I am compelled to express my sincere feeling as well as some experience I have had regarding the situation. When I was illiterate and a student in an industrial school some years ago, I nevertheless had burning in my soul that flame of equality of all men, and I am sure it was born there and was not the teaching of any school, and I am sure that the same feeling was born in many of my fellow students. My home is in Norfolk, and always I shall regard Norfolk as my home. In that locality when I was born, there was also born in my heart the flame of racial equality and it shall remain a part of my consciousness so long as I live. Four months ago I sent six poems, being somewhat of a poet, to the National Literary and Feature Syndicate, of Hannibal, Mo., all of which were sold except one which was entitled "Liberty." I have never been informed by the publishers why this particular piece of poetry was rejected, but I have reached my own conclusions, for in it "Caucasian" was mentioned. Why shouldn't we have the inborn feeling of equality? Why should we jim crow ourselves or supinely accept it from others? Are our leaders guilty of teaching 'dangerous doctrines' if they teach that all men are created equal? Or must our youth be told they are inferior by nature to any people? Certainly not. The Frenchman, the German, the Englishman, all have pride of race and ancestry. Are we to be made the victims of unjust legislation because we possess pride in ourselves enough to feel and believe that we are equal to all men of creation? Pride of race, of which flows the sense of equality was born in the colored youth and Hampton Institute nor any other institution has sowed into his consciousness that seed. —J. H. BAYNES South Norwalk, Conn. An Urgent Need In Norfolk To Norfolk Journal and Guide, What kind of men of tomorrow will the boys of today make with the lack of some facilities that go in the making of strong minds, healthy bodies, keen judgment and a sense of fair play? Does any community, town or city wish to point to its young men as hoodlums, or look upon them with unrestrained pride and a deep feeling of appreciation? Surely it is the latter. But these things cannot be realized without certain potent influences that serve as a molder of those things desired. These ends cannot be obtained from a better place than a Young Men's Christian Association, without, which no city of any size should feel contented. For several years now, Norfolk has been without a Y. M. C. A. This is a discredit to the city. In the meantime citizens do not seem to care whether there is another or not. This reflects upon how much they care about their offspring, their environments and the places they go seeking recreation and pleasure. It will be too late ten or fifteen years from today, to say that I wish my son had been brought up under the invigorating influences of a Young Men's Christian Association; it will be too late, ten fifteen years from today, to say that I wish my son had had the opportunity to become clean and strong in mind and body; it will be too late, ten or fifteen years from today, to say that I wish my son had been brought up in the environs of an institution that builds bodies, molds characters and curbs immorality. If the time ever comes—and it might—those who had it within their powers to furnish those things, will be the ones to hold themselves responsible. How does a Norfolk citizen feel, when he walks into a modernly equipped Y. M. C. A. of another city? How does a citizen of Norfolk feel, when visiting another town and is asked about Y. M. C. A. activities in Norfolk? How does a Norfolk citizen feel when the questioner exclaims, "What! You mean to say you don't have a "Y"? How does he feel when he has to say, we let the Y. M. C. A. slip from under us? How does he feel when he has to admit that the Norfolk Y. M. C. A. was the oldest in the country yet it winked out. No citizen of any pride can pass these things up without a feeling that they have done lit- Saturday, March 27, 1926. Mud Slinging, The Game Of Mental Sluggards BY KELLY MILLER Mud slinging is the game of the shallow mind. The only qualification needed is intellectual recklessness and moral abandon. It is the ever handy tool of the shallow minded controversialists. It is so much easier to abuse your opponent than to controvert his argument. Too sad PETER B. to say, abuse is the ready resort of the Negro when he takes issue with his fellow. The ease with which they apply ugly epithets and opprobrious aspersions is indeed amazing. This is because they feel little responsibility, personal or legal for their wild and unlicensed abuse. Rarely will the offended party resort to the law of criminal libel because the process is too complicated and involved. Personal accountability is outlawed by the milder dispensation of cultivated society. In the North, the offended party is disposed to resort to the law for protection against vile abuse when it cannot be ignored by a dignified silence. The more fiery spirit of the South immediately resents reflection or insult by personal physical force. So far as I can recall, every personal encounter that has taken place on the floors of Congress originated in the temper of some Southern Congressman or Senator. The lat. Senator Tillman, in justification of his assault upon his colleague from his own state, declared that in the South the lie is regarded as the first blow. It may be that the general progress of society has tle or nothing to re-establish that lost prestige. Yet, days have grown into years and no real effort has been made to give the young men of Norfolk things that they rightly deserve and things that go a long ways in shaping their future. As the conditions exist now, Norfolk's boys can be seen seeking a bit of wholesome pleasures and recreation where such do not prevail. They can be seen in the environs where non-helpful influences lurk. With any number of years of this kind of life, some of the characteristics cannot but be grooved in their makeup and no nation or race group is any stronger than its boys. —A. W. JOHNSON Norfolk, Va. Poor Transportation Service In view of the promises made by the Virginia Electric and Power Company in advertisements leading up to the recent referendum election which resulted in unifying the city's transportation service under operation of the power company, I feel that I voice the sentiment of the colored citizens of Norfolk when I say we are not only completely disappointed at the bus service we are now getting but thoroughly disgusted with it as well. Although I personally entertained serious misgivings regarding the carrying out of the promises of the V. E. P. as to improved service, etc., I certainly had not the slightest idea that the traction company's service would be so manifestly inferior to what we were getting from the independent busmen. The buses now in operation in our section of the city, any observant citizen will testify, are dilapidated—far worse than the equipment City Manager Truxtun condemned—unsightly and d actually unreliable—they might get you there and they might not. I have had the personal experience of having to get out of one and make it home by foot on a rainy night, after the thing just gave out. The present schedule is in no wise as good as the one the independent busmen used to maintain. In the morning' hours and a later 5 o'clock in the afternoon the bushes are so crowded that it is almost a crying shame for human beings to have to be jammed into them—in spite of all this the fare is higher than what it was under the old arrangement. Really, from the appearance of the equipment used in our section, it seems that one particular benefit of the unified transportation system has been to provide dumping ground for V. E. P. useless buses. In fact, the unified transportation system may be for the good of the community, but so far, it certainly has worked to the serious detriment of the colored people. For us, it seems a case of providing private transportation or walking. How long are we to be made the "goats?" -ROBERT H. SCOTT Newfolk, Va Pleading for greater tolerance, greater restraint and greater courtesy toward one another, Dr. Kelly Miller assails the tendency of members of the race to abuse and villify those with whose views they may honestly differ. The bishop, the editor, the statesman or any member of the race of exalted position is not immune from this stream of vituperation that may be carelessly and ignorantly directed at him from any person of any station who has an unbridled tongue and low mentality. Dr. Miller points out the injury that the race suffers in the minds of the white people as a result of this ease and abandon with which Negroes willify one another to the other group. passed the time when personal chastisement is necessary to the enforcement of good manners. But, it is painful to state that many of our orate colored controversialists do not seem to be mindful of the restraints of culture and good manners. When ever an issue arises, the one is more than apt to characterize his opponent as a coward, a traitor or a sycophant. No name is sacred; no reputation however exalted is shielded from the vilest epithets which any irresponsible upstart may see fit to apply. Bishops on the bench, high officials in public office, the editor, the scholar, the thinker does not secure immunity by his worthy deeds or excalled station. The man who is responsible for his words is frugal in the use of them. Intemperate speech is a sign of intellectual or moral infirmity. The whites have learned by bitter experience the fatuity of unwarranted abuse. At one time politicians sought to win popular support by abuse of their opponent. We used to hear of mud slinging in our national campaign. Many will recall the presidential campaign of 1884, when Cleveland and Blaine led their respective parties. Personal charges were matched by the two opposing parties to the extent that the public became utterly disgusted. But of late years both of the great parties have placed personal abuse under the ban. The candidat must rely upon the discussion of the issues, and not upon superior skill in blackguardism. Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson have divided the public mind as have no two men in recent times. They have provoked a body of controversial literature sufficient to fill libraries. And yet outside of a few outlawed publications, there is to be found very little of the vile intemperate abuse which was heaped upon the heads of public men in the earlier generations. Our experience in the District of Columbia is typical of the general result of this vituperative policy. This community is almost always divided over the issue of the public schools. Indeed the schools constitute the only feature of public affairs that appeals to the interest and passion of the average colored mind. In one of these violent issues several years ago, each side would go to the school authorities and abuse their contestants for every thing to be found in the lexicon of vituperation. A high school official at one time stated that if he were disposed to believe the asspersions which rival contestants heaped upon one another, he would conclude that there was not a decent or honest colored citizen in the District of Columbia. If Senator Butler would seriously entertain the reflections which rival claimants to political leadership heap the one upon the other, he would be justified in pronouncing—"plague on all your houses." The Northern group accuse the Southern group. The advocates of one candidate abuse those of the other. Each denounces the other as scoundrel, rascal, trickster and self-seeker. The crafty political leader hears them all, and concludes that the whole bunch is rotten and there is no political health in them. If the status of our political leadership is now at the minimum of influence and importance, it is due to this all but universal tendency to indulge in wholesale denunciation and abuse of those who for the time being and in the issue in hand may be oppositely aligned. Who does not recall the raging controversy between the advocates of higher and industrial education which filled the land a generation age? To dig up that literature today would make the intelligent Negro ashamed of his manners. The abuse heaped upon the head of Bookey T. Washington is shameful in the retrospect. In turn his upholders and defenders returned the vituperative retort in measure pressed down and running prior to death and running over. Today we speak of radical and conservative Negroes. The one calls his opponents bolshievists, anarchists, and red handed uperset of social stability. The other side retorts that—"you are cowards, and craven and crafty self-seekers." Neither seems to take the time and patience to examine into the just attitude and motive of his opponent. An ugly epithet is deemed more effective as it is certainly more intellectually economical. The white mind is generally disposed to believe whatever one Negro may say that is derogatory of another. He listens to both and humors each to think that he has scored against his rival. But each is but weakening the reputation of his race, and every member thereof. So far has this self-debasing process gone that the white man picks out some likely and likable Negro, and places upon him the stamp of his personal approval but does not delegate his hand picked leader as noble and worthy as white men are noble and worthy, but merely as the best that can be secured out of the bunch which is generally worthless. The white man will continue to pick our leaders on this principle until we learn to cease this folly of wholesale denunciation and abuse. We are now passing through the same stage that the insurance business experienced in the early years of its development. Every company praised its own policy and practice, and low rated every other rival company. Insurance agents were instructed to expose the weak points of every other company except the one which he was paid to exploit. As a result the public soon began to lose confidence in all insurances as being fraudulent and misleading. No sooner would the agent of one company leave off abusing its rival than the rival agent rang the bell and returned the abuse with interest. But when insurance statismanship found that public confidence was weakening and was undermining the entire fabric of insurance, it inaugurated a more generous policy. Agents were instructed never to run down any insurance company, but in a general way to extol all insurance, at the same time laying stress upon the peculiar claims of his own enterprise. Upon this change of policy, the public soon regained confidence in the insurance business as a whole. The several companies now find that it is good sportsmanship as well as good business to deal generously in praise, and sparingly inensure of your rivals in the same field. It is all but heart rending, to find that when one colored man is picked out for preferment that members of his own race will rush to the white powers that be anó deluge them with allied facts and arguments to show his unworthiness. More frequently than not these presentations, like Poe's "Raven," little meaning, little relevancy to bear. If all of our faults and imperfections were set down and conned by rate, few of us would see salvation. We are never justified in holding up to public gaze the faults and imperfections of our fellow man unless some worth while public good will be conserved thereby. It is easy to praise one's friends and abuse one's enemies or in other words, to commend those whom we like and condemn those whom we dislike. In much of our public discussion we note an over indulgence in these contrasted modes of procedure. Our friends are all good, and our engmies all bad. The use of adjectives and expletives is indulged in as a rhetorical pastime. They are poured out as profusely and as indiscriminately as we scatter salt and pepper over our breakfast steak. I am pleading for greater tolerance, greater courtesy and greater restraint. The race is suffering incalculable damage in the eyes of white men. The normal white man is prone to believe easily any thing that might be said instrumental to the nobility of any Negro. In catering to his prejudgment by wholesale scandal and rumors of scandal, we merely add to the already heavy weight of our own debasement. It is a safe rule to follow—if you cannot say to the white man something that will help your fellow Negro, be careful before saying anything that will hurt him. Farm schools in the Phillipines are tending to stabilize some of the nomadic tribes in the Islands. To meet the demand for teachers of Esperanto, an examination in that language was conducted recently in Vienna under the auspices of the Austrian Government.
