CHALLENGES CHRISTIANITY TO APPLY TEST TO THE RACE ISSUE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE IN CELL ANOTHER ANTI-LYNCH BILL IN CONGRESS ISGRACE OF ARREST IS TOO MUCH FOR HIM Who Had Never Been Arrested Before, Thought Death Preferable To Mortification of Jail Stigma. AVED BY TURNKEY JUST IN NICK OF TIME Believed to have been driven temporarily insane by suffering intense mortification because of his arrest on a prohibition charge, David Hobbs attempted to commit suicide in his cell in the Berkley station Saturday night. A few hours after being lodged the cell, Hobbs was discovered Officer W..A. Terry, turnkey, on the floor with a tight nose around his neck improvised in his socks. The officer was impelled to cut the knot to free throat of the man who had made almost successful attempt at killing his life. When arraigned in Police Court Monday morning with his neck rally swollen, Hobbs told the court that he had never been arrested be- fore he in his life, that he thought he couldn't get out of jail, and be- des he was afraid to face his life. Hobbs was arrested Saturday night at 1009 Louisa street by gregant Powell, who testified that small quantity of liquor was found in the house. "So you thought you wouldn't get out, and you tried to choke yourself," Justice Spindle said. But you would have gone out feet out if you had succeeded. "But any man that exhibits the singing of mortification you have serves to get off." I will dismiss me. I will dismiss any man who works or hangs himself because he charged with violation of the exhibition law." Hobbs employer testified that the man was a steady, conscientious worker and was an excellent man, and that he believed that the shame of his arrest had tem- pararily driven him insane. (By Associated Negro Press.) New Orleans, La., April 21—Sian Legre, reincarnated in the person of William Simmonds, a little man, and driver for the Yellow Cab Company, was murdered in Childred Cook, his maid, a few years ago, for inhuman treatment, according to the police. If the girl's story can be substantiated related to the district attorney, it is probable that no action will be taken by the authorities, as they termed "Simmonds a hard master" who received exactly what he deserved. Justice to The Gale-Ford Company Last week there appeared a statement in this paper that the Gale-Ford Jewelry Company was one of the two concerns doing business in this city which had stated to an advertising salesman of the Journal and Guide that they did not desire Negro trade. Mr. Frank Ford, president and treasurer of the Gale-Ford Company, has since stated that no one connected with his company is authorized to make such statement; that it would be erroneous, as such is not the policy of his company, and that colored people who trade with the Gale-Ford Jewelry Company are accorded every courtesy and consideration consistent with good business practices. the Journal and Guide is that to make this correction all of the Gale-Ford Norfolk Journal and Guide DR. S. F. COPPAGE, who was elected president of the Old Dominion State Dental Association in its annual session here last week. FIRE UPON YOUNG PEOPLE ON WAY FROM CHURCH FIRE UPON YOUNG PEOPLE ON WAY FROM CHURCH Jealous Suitor Evinces Displeasure of Seeing Young Woman In Company With Another Man. A man who is believed to have objected to the girl that he claimed was his sweetheart walking in company with another young man, did not pause to demonstrate with either of them when he met the couple strolling along the road returning from church services Sunday in company with three other young men and women, but showed his displeasure by firing a load of buckshots into the whole group, according to the story told by the victims and deductions made by officers who investigated the shooting. All of the young men and women were of the Oakwood, Norfolk County section. They told County Officers Jones and Greenwald and Patrolman O. J. Johnson that their assailant whom they met on the road blazed away at them without one word of warning. The victims were taken to St. Vincent's hospital where surgeons picked buckshots from heads, arms, legs and backs of the five in the group. Four of the names of the victims were learned to be Misses Sadie Moore and Sarah Parker, Messrs. George Drew and Sonny Flythe. The fifth victim's name was not learned. A search is being made for thin assailant. KIWANIANS TO ERECT MONUMENT TO NEGRO Memory Of Hero Who Saved Twenty-two People Will Be Reverred (By Associated Negro Press.) Vancouver, Canada, April 21—Within twelve minutes the Kiwanis Club of this city raised $1,200 of a fund of $5,000 to erect a monument to Joe Fortes, colored, who during his thirty-six years residence at English Bay taught scores of children to swim, saved the lives of twenty-two and rescued hundreds of others before they reached the drowning stage. Continuous exposure to all kinds of weather broke his health, and he died in 1922. In 1922, when interviewed by the Associated Negro Press, a leading Kiwian said, "British Columbia will not allow the memory of Joe Fortes' life of self-sacrifice to pass. He was a coward." O. D. DENTAL ASSOCIATION CLOSES MEET Two-Day Session Here Declared One of Most Successful In History of Organization. WHITE DENTISTS GIVE SPLENDID COOPERATION The Old Dominion State Dental Association closed its thirteenth annual meeting here Friday night after a two-day session. The meeting was declared to have been one of the most successful and far-reaching in the history of the association. The clinics were of the highest order and the general discussions fraught with the most scientific knowledge attained in the dental world. Clinics in Arts Building The clinics in which the white dentists participated were held in the Medical Arts Building, one of the finest and most costly structures in the city, devoted exclusively to housing offices of the medical profession, and were conducted by some of the most eminent dentists in the country. Among these were Dr. S. G. Warden, specialist, who had a paper on "Classification of Pyovirica; Dr. Paul White, Commander, D. C., U. S. N., Portsmouth, being in charge of the only exclusively dental hospital in the country, who had a paper on "Hospitalization and Treatment of Dental Patients;" Dr. J. C. Clarke and G. E. Gates, specialists, clinic on "Nitreous Oxide Anaesthesia and Analgesia—Heidbrink Technique," and Dr. H. Ellsworth Bonney, president of the Virginia Tidewater Dental Association, clinic on "Crown and Bridge." It was thru the special efforts of Dr. Bonney that the colored dentists were privileged to witness the clinics and hear the papers of these notable practitioners. Cordial Spirit The meeting in the Medical Arts Building was characterized by a most admirable spirit of cordiality and cooperation. The one idea dominant among the dentists both white and colored was for the promotion of the profession for the benefit of humanity. Nothing else seemed to matter. * Headquarters of the convention were located in the Hotel Wheaton on East Brambleton avenue. The sessions began at 10 o'clock Thursday morning with Dr. A. J. Wells delivering the welcome address on behalf of the local committee. Dr. H. P. Weeden, president of the association, delivered his annual address at this time. It was inspiring and struck a high note for the good of the profession. Immediately following the morning session the members visited the Booker T. Washington High School, where they were greatly impressed with the mammoth structure and the varied curriculum followed there. Each of the visitors made brief talks to the students and faculty gathered in the assembly room. Clinics Clinics were conducted in the afternoon by Drs. L. A. Fowlkes, child specialist of Newport News on "Dental Orthopedics"; E. B. Canaday, of Norfolk, on "Orthodontia"; and G. P. Downing, of Ronnoke, on "Conductive Anaesthesia." These clinics were conducted in the hotel lobby where the sessions were held. The public session was held Thursday night at the First Baptist Church at which time Dr. G. Hamilton Francis, delivered the welcome address on behalf of the public. The principal address was, "Oral Hygiene," by Dr. L. A. Fowlikes, of Newport News, whose talk was interesting from start to finish. Dr. Fred G. Morton, state clinician, gave a comprehensive report. Solos were sung by Dr. W. B. Anderson, of Portsmouth, and Mrs. R. J. Brown. Dr. A. J. Welles presided. Following this meeting the visiting dentists retired to Jaunita's (Continued on Page Eight). NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1926 Southerner Strikes At SENATE BILL The Unjust Laws And TO FREE HAITI Un-Christian Attitudes OF MARINES Dr. Will W. Alexander Agitates Interdenominational Young People's Conference When He Defines Jim Crow Laws and Race Discrimination as Un-Christian DECLARES FOR THE PROTECTION OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL BY THE LAW (Special to Journal and Guide) Birmingham, Ala., April 17.—The precepts of Christianity a s professed by the American people should be applied to the Jim Crow laws; to the courts of the South; to residential restrictions and inequitable distribution of the public school funds as to the races, was the challenge thrown out to the Interdenominational Young People's Conference by Dr. Will W. Alexander, Director of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, in an address here today. Dr. Alexander's address, which was a Christian plea for a Christian solution of the race problem was the most unequivocal and courageous delivered before the conference and threatened to create quite a stig, a number of his auditors starting to interrogate him NATIONAL POLITICAL HORIZON Chicago Negroes on Tuesday, April 6, under the leadership of Edawrd H. Wright, Negro member of the State Commerce Commission and committeeman of the Second Ward, nominated a state senator, four representatives, a county commissioner, and three senatorial committeemen. The Senate nomination went to Adelbert H. Roberts, who was elected two years ago, the first Negro to serve in the Illinois legislature. Spirited fighting was done in the races for the lower house of the Assembly. In the First District, Jacob Tipper, publisher of the Chicago Enterprise, and Richard E. Westbrook, an attorney, resident consul for Liberia, and one time assistant state's attorney, threw their hats in the ring against Sheadrach B. Turner and Charles Griffin, incumbents. Turner and Griffin were nominated by startling pluralities. In the Third District, powerful Oscar DePriest's candidate for the Legislature, William King, was badly defeated, the two successful nominees being George Kersey, father of the monument bill for the Eight Illinois Infantry, and committeeman of the Third Ward and Ward B. Douglass, a Deneen incumbent, all Negroes. P. W. Chavers, advertised as the founder of the Douglass National Bank, made little progress in his campaign against Congressman Martin B. Madden, polling only some 2000 votes. Madden was not even forced to leave Washington. There are many Negroes in the district who want a colored congressman, but they are not yet ready to turn their backs on Madden who has been so valuable to them. Col. Frank L. Smith defeated Senator William B. McKinley for the nomination for the United States Senate, despite a vigorous fight in which Walter Cohen, of Louisiana, Col. Patton, of Mississippi and Wayman Wilkerson, of Memphis, and other Southern leaders, went to Chicago to make in behalf of McKinley. Edward H. Wright, colored leader in Chicago, is said to have led the forces for Smith. when he had concluded it. He declared it was unjust for the white majority to discriminate against the Negro minority, and called attention to the inconvenience experienced by Negro travelers who do not have smoking car and Pullman privileges, and who are forced to ride in such dangerous places as the front couches of trains afford." Not only in matters of travel, but also in education, house-conditions and in the courts, the Negro is ruled against, declared Dr. Alexander. He said, "the courts of the South do not find white men guilty of crime upon the testimony of Negroes," and declared: "A country which does not protect every individual by law will ultimately become an unsafe country in which to live. "Every person, regardless of race should have every opportunity for advancement of powers which are within them." Referring to the population of Richmond, Dr. Alexander said it was 32 per cent Negro, "and yet only 5 per cent of the territory of that city is allotted to the race." In support of his charge that many States were discriminating against Negroes in the distribution of public school funds, Dr. Alexander quoted at length from statistics. When he had concluded some one in the audience asked: "Do you believe in the repeal of the Jim Crow law." "I believe in the repeal of unjust laws and it is unjust," replied Dr. Alexander. "Do you think that educated Negroes are more hostile to whites than uneducated Negroes?" another questioner asked. "Naturally, as the mind is cultivated one sees more clearly the injustices done," was Dr. Alexander's reply. "Do you believe in segregation?" another asked. "My time is up, I shall answer that latter," said the speaker. He said he did not advocate intermarriage and declared it was not necessary to a Christian solution of the problem. Continuing, he said. Jesus taught respect for personality. "The final rule by which personality will be judged is not race, but character. That race will be supreme, which is most capable of being Christ-like. Being a true Christian is to wish every race to have the fullest possible advancement of which it is possible." Local Musicians To Broadcast Over WTAR Dr. W.

FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO PARTS DEI L IN SENATE BILL TO FREE HAITI OF MARINES IN CONC BILL Talks On Hygiene Victor Berger, of Wisconsin, Charges Administration With "Ducking" 1924 Platform Pledges To Voters. MEASURE SIMILAR TO TWO PREDECESSORS Washington, D.C. April 20—Representative Victor L. Berger, Socialist, introduced last Friday in the House, a bill to punish state and municipal officers who fail to take proper precautions to protect individuals from mob attacks, and also to punish those who participate in such mob attacks. Mob Action A Felons The Berger bill makes it a felony to participate in any mob or assemblage composed of three or more persons acting in concert, without authority of law, for the purpose of depriving any person of his life, or doing him physical injury, resulting in death or injury to such person. Conviction would carry with it punishment by imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than five years, or by a fine not exceeding $5,000, or by both fine and imprisonment. It would also be a felony for any state or municipal officer, charged with the duty or who has the authority and power to protect the life of any individual who may be injured or killed by a mob, having such person in his charge as a prisoner, who fails or neglects to protect an individual from a mob attack, or conspires with any person to injure or kill such prisoner. Punishment upon conviction would be by imprisonment for not less than two years nor more than ten years or by a fine of not exceeding $10,000, or by both fine and imprisonment. The Attorney General of the United States, under the provisions of the Berger bill, would be authorized to institute through his proper subordinate officer in the district in which mob violence has occurred, proceedings in the United States district court to compel the forfeiture of the sum of $10,000 from the county in which the mob violence was committed. The action would be brought in the name of the United States against the county and the sum obtained would go to the person injured, or his family if killed, or to the United States if the person killed has no family. Berger charged the administration with "ducking" anti-lynching legislation, promised by the Republican platform of 1924. Young Husband Charged With Bigamy Pleads Insanity When Bennie Nixon, 22, was arraigned in Corporation Court Thursday morning on a charge of bigamy, his counsel, F. J. Thorogood, entered for him a plea of insanity and requested that the man be observed by a commission in lunacy. The Court continued the case for thirty days, during which time Nixon will be observed by city physicians with a view to determining his mental condition. Nixon is charged with having married a young woman in 1922, and having been separated from her, again married another girl 16 years of age, under a court order after having been convicted of seducing her. He failed to support her and was arrested for non-support, from which the big army charge developed. Albert Lucas, proprietor of Ab Lucas' dance hall and park at Oakwood, while riding with a young woman in his sedan who was driving Sunday, sustained painful cuts and bruises when the young woman's attention was distracted and the car went into a ditch. The machine was badly damaged. Ab Lucas Hurt DR. L. A. FOWLKES, of Newport News, who gave a most informative talk on hygiene at the public session of the Old Dominion State Dental Association at the First Baptist Church, Thursday night. NEW ORLEANS APPEAL NOT IN SUPREME COURT Clients Begin To Feel That There Is Something Suspicious About Delay In Their Case. (Special Correspondence.) Now Orleans, La., April 21—In spite of the fact that recent press releases have told of efforts being made by Attorney Knollenberg, counsel for the colored people of this city against the segregation law, that appeals from the State Supreme Court decision holding the law valid, had been filed with the United States Supreme Court, up to date of April 16, the case had not been filed with the highest court, which is a matter of common knowledge here. The colored people are beginning to get a bit suspicious and restless; the lawyer is delaying unnecessarily, it seems to some of them. The colored lawyer who is associated with him, wants to have the case docked at once. Formerly the Supreme Court allowed only twenty days, after judgment was rendered by state court, to elapse before the case would fall automatically and not be accepted by the Supreme Court. Lately the Supreme Court extended this time to sixty days. But colored people are not willing to risk their case on the virtue of this extension,—for their case was in court and a matter of litigation before the new rule was made,—and the Supreme Court always takes hold of any technicality in order to drop such a case. There is such a thing in the world as the "double-cross," although nobody is charging it yet in this case. Supreme Chancellor Green, of Pythians, was double-crossed by a Southern lawyer a little while ago, in a case to compel the railroads to furnish Pullman accommodations to colored passengers. The lawyer simply let the time slip around to the last day for going to Washington and filing the appeal, and then his wife got suddenly and conveniently sick, so that he couldn't go at all—and Green's case went overboard.

PRICE 7 CENTS ELL GRESS SOCIALIST IS SPONSOR FOR ANTI-MOB BILL King, Democrat, of Utah Moves To End American Occupation And Restore Government To Natives. DECLARES FURTHER CONTROL IS UNLAWFUL (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., April 20—A resolution directing the Committee on Foreign Relations to consider certain statements with reference to Haiti and report to the Senate members permitting the Haitian people to establish a government of their choice and assume control of their affairs and providing for the withdrawal of the American forces was introduced in the Senate last Friday by Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. The Resolution The resolution embodied a statement of some of the important facts relating to Haiti and its occupation by the military forces of the United States. It declared that the actual government of Haiti is in the hands of General John H. Russell, United States High Commissioner, supported by the military forces of the United States, and that President Louis Borno and the Haitian Council of state are subject to his will and act in accordance with his directions. It is also set out in the resolution that the term of the convention of September 16, 1915, between Haiti and the United States, expired on September 15, 1926, and that if the United States had any right under this convention to occupy Haiti and control its government and people, such right no longer exists.

Dear Namii: Have been reading your advice to being good and I have become interested in it. So, I have interested to write you about my love I received a very nice letter from one of my schoolmates last week. He expressed his care for me. I answered it Friday and might he brought his city girl to our Lyceum Program. In the letter, he said "No matter who you be with or where, remember you have a friend who loves me. I was looking for an answer money from my letter I wrote Friday, but I failed to receive Can you advise me what to do for the best. I like him very much. Please publish this so the drive may help others. Lovingly, S Dear Ms. I was compliment to know you have interested in the work you try to do. Well in writing you the letter he writes you for the fact that you need him with some one else joining, so that's alright. Now write: maybe you answer that letter too soon and maybe you were looking for an answer, years too quickly. Well time, don't rush, wait a little before you answer and then make your answer will come Childless Marriages Explained CONDUCTED BY HORTENIE THOMPSO I want you to give me some advice about something. I am going with a fellow 19 years of age and he has been with me for our entire life. He seems to love me a little, but he does not seem to love me as I love him. I want you to give me some advice whether to keep on loving him or not. Since you seem able to call a check on that love of yours, I would like to have you not get too much in love with this boy, but look on him as a good friend. You see girls 16, have not as a rule finished their books and until you do, don't give too much thought to the boys. to the boys. Naomi Dear Naomi: I am a girl 16 years of age. I have been reading the good advice you have given other girls and so I am writing you to give me some advice. I have been going with a fellow about eleven months. He went away to work and while he was gone I heard from him almost every week. Now he has come home and he has been to see me several times since he arrived, but now he does not come as regularly as he did at first. He seems to care very much for me, and talks to me wherever he sees me. I have not even see him with any other girl and he treats me fine only he does not come as often. I want you to give me good advice how to test his love toward me. D. With a fellow treating you as nice as that what is it you want done? Why dearie, what more do you ask? He wrote to you while away and he called to see you on his return and he is still anxious to talk to you wherever he sees you and does not go with any other girl. I think he is doing nicely. Probably he was coming too often at first and now calls are just right. You see a girl 6, you have a boy 8, calling on her so often any way. Just continue to treat him kindly and he pleasant and make yourself congenial. Whatever you do, don't ask him why he does not come more often. Naomi That Baby You Longed For Mrs. Burton Advices Women on Mother- hood and Communionship. "For a long time, I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Maraget Burton of Kansas, City.

There is, probably no other, one thing that so influences, and determines the destiny of woman, as personal Charm and Beauty. We too well know that character, education and refinement are all important, and are necessary to the popular and successful woman, yet, the first thing that attracts the attention of every one is, the magic charm of a Beautiful face, "School Girl" complexion, rustious hair, and soft shapely hands that are fitted with refinement and modesty, make a woman irresistible. It is impossible for men to love an unkempt woman, and other women shun her, because she has failed in the one great womanly trait, being clean, sweet, and attractive and adorable. Proper care will keep women always beautiful, neither does this apply to the early years of youth, but may be retained through all of the stages and ages of woman's existence. Beauty is a relative term. What is beauty in a child, is not beauty in a young woman or matron. To be beautiful at any age a woman must not appear older than she is. Very few women are perfect physically; something can be pointed out that is unnatural, some defect that she is constantly thinking about, that makes her uncomfortable or unhappy. Nature has given few women perfect regularity of features, but after all this regularity and symmetry of feature are not necessary factors in making a beautiful face. A smooth, soft, and unblemished face with undesirable, uninsightly lines removed, a lustrous head of hair, becoming arranged, clean, shapely, soft hands, clear bright eyes, eye brows that are well shaped, together with a body that is particularly bathed, and cised, gowned, and accentuates its poor lines, and emphasize its fine lines, these make a beautiful wom- Many people will mistake a make-up of powder, creams, rouges and raiment for true beauty. It is not, and must be only considered in the nature of an aid,—though they are frequently a hindrance, particularly when they contribute to make, us grotesque. A person must be considered to bring about an improvement in one's appearance, is cleansing the body, regularly and thoroughly. There is no eliminator equal to the warm bath taken daily; let it be your daily routine. These are the days of the bath tub, in small town and city; they are comparatively few in number who have no bath tub built in their homes. Where there are none, use the wash tub as regularly as the day dawns. The function of the bath is to open the pores, because the rubbing of the body with the wash cloth, not only cleans it, it sets up a proper circulation, which aids in carrying off the waste matter of the body both externally and internally. Thus the various deposits that are showing, either on the surface of the skin, or through the skin, are going to be easier to handle, with the aids which we plan to apply. New Vigor is given you and a real nerve tonic is administered through the bath, because it quiets and soothes. Announcement We wish to announce that we have opened, in connection with our.

The Miracle of Spring All of us do not have the same reaction under any given condition, to many the song of the first Bluebird, simply means, that house cleaning time is of hand, closets to be cleaned, winter drapes and rugs to be beaten, made moth proof and laid away—hectic days with brush pail and paint; but with what feeling of elation, she views her handwork and finds it good. To others it is the signal to do overshoes and putter in the backyard, a chance to lay that little garden, planned through the dreary days of winter. And yet a few whom sorrow has touched, to whom the cold gray days of winter have been veritable Gethsemanes—to them the tree just outside of the window, with its ugly bare branches seems to typify the dead hopes of their lives and who can plumb the depth of their thoughts on raising their shade and finding that yesterday appeared dead, today covered with leaves. The Miracle of Spring—A Resurrection of Buried Hopes, a chance to Carry On. Let us continue to cherish that Faith despite the recent declaration, of the great Botanist, Luther Burbank, that he is an unbeliever, that he has studied. Life and Death with the microscopic eye of experimental knowledge, and finds them the results of natural phenomena. Let us watch the development of that little brown husk, watch it send forth its green shoots into the sunlight and lightly break into blossoms and let who will call it the result of natural causes, the changes of nature, but we will call it one of the Miracles of God. HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN JANE-PARKER, Home Economics Dept., Calumet Haking Powder Co. Spring and early summer are the seasons when that aristocratic fresh vegetable, asparagus is usually served, but it is in its prime during the latter part of April and May, when the shoots are young and tender. Although we may be in the habit of cooking it one way, there are a variety of ways in which asparagus may be served besides creamed, buttered, on toast or in salads, but it seems an extravagance to crush this delicious young vegetable for soup making. After your taste for asparagus has begun, next come peas, carrots, and that plant containing so much iron—spinach. New peas are on the market at the present time, but are rather high. Some of the greens may appeal to you at once, while others you may have to learn to like. If you become tired of spinach, you may enjoy mixing or blending the flavors of some of the other greens such as dock, dandelion, amphibian or potassium, a dash of your per grass or mustard will give a tang to the flavor. Whether you eat them plain or mixed, just remember to have at least one green vegetable in your diet every day. New Ways of Using Spring Vegetables will be sent free to any one writing Helen H.

Howard University started her track season Saturday afternoon, April 10th with the annual undergraduate interclass meet. T he meet was fostered by Mr. Charles West, the famous athlete of Washington and Jefferson University, and now a medical student of the Howard University. Mr. West is coaching those students of the University who report on the cinderpath this year, and with the material that is available, Howard has a sure high-point scoring combination. Men are training well and many are showing rare form. Many veterans have returned to aid R. Jones, the captain, to carry Howard's honors throughout the season. The Junior Class led the meet in points, winning first place in almost every event, followed by the Sophomore and Freshmen Classes, leaving dignified Seniors far behind to bring up the rear.

HAMPTON FALLS BEFORE AGGIES BY NORMAN STEVENSON Hampton, Va., April 17—A, and T. Agnes subdued the Hampton Seadiers by the large, but inten- telling score of 14 to 8. The game would dull at times but sensational battling rallies, and specta cula catches, by the outfielders enabled the fans to enjoy their money's worth. The outstanding-feature of the game was a one-handed catch by Byrd, Hampton's flashy gardener.

JOHNSON, JR Byrd? Hubbard? Mr. Dehart Hubbard, recently and, occasionally of Cincinnati, fathoms his chances against one of the most colorful stars of football, the singular "flitting ghost of the gridiron," "Jazz" Byrd, no less than equal. The two super athletes are slated to match prowess this spring at Howard's track meet. One hundred yards will be the distance of greatest interest. Yet there are other events in which both stars are super. Mr. Byrd holds the collegiate broad jump record with a distance of 22 feet and 5 inches. He is a joint holder of the collegiate 100 yard dash, time of 10 and 1-5 seconds, and he once held the high jump mark until Young of Morgan bettered his jump by sailing 6 feet and 3-4 of an inch in the air. Whereas Mr. Byrd has a remarkable track record for the younger generations to reach for, Mr. Hubbard has a better one to overshadow his adversor's. Cincinnati's power plant has a stack of crowns that the former gridiron hero can continue only to enry. In the century he has a time equal to the best on the books, 9 and 3-5 seconds. In the broad jump he has bested 25 feet more than a dozen times, and only a few weeks ago he smashed Charlie Hoff's indoor jump mark. He equaled and then broke the world's 65 yard record during the late indoor season. There is only one event in which Mr. Byrd produces a pretier record. That is the high jump. One might easily conclude that the duel between the two luminaries will be only a walk-away for the former Michigan ace. But who dares say so? Athletes under the strain of stiff opposition—the kind Mr. Hubbard will offer—soon soar undreamed of heights. It would be unfair to Mr. Byrd to term him an exception to this rule. He may be seized with a resourcefulness like the one Ned Gourdin experienced the day he crashed through world's broad record. That is, to do the never-conceived, and then never approach the mark again. At any rate the going should be swift, and Mr. Hubbard will be in for a tough day when he gets vis-a-vis Mr. "Jazz". Byrd, the "ne-tor-be- forgotten" Lincoln flash. The Cauliflower Panic Among the several distressing industrial panics of the last few decades, the cauliflower crisis is most disquiting. Not only is there a low water mark, but the pros- pects of a rejuvenation are indeed disheartening. FROM PRESS By WILLEY The Boomerang When it was predicted, not quite a month ago, that the drawing of the color line by Fred McDougal, heavyweight box-fighting novice, might serve as a boomerang, little did we think that it would come to pass so early. McDougal and his manager, concluded to draw the color line on all colored scrapper, giving as an excuse, that there would be more money in indulging in fistfuchs with the white boys. Mac's first fight of any moment, which, by the way was not much, came back like a boomerang in the hands of one who knows little or nothing of its use, for the so-called promising heavyweight had has his money held up by the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission on account of making a poor showing against Arturo DeKuh, imported Italian heavy, who pasted him all over the landscape. McDougal got a fight with a white boy, in a 10-round semiwindup, but he will have to try to collect his share of the spoils. Bold assertions, statements and declarations do not always bring desired results. What Price Gameness? LYNNHAVEN The Sunday school of the First Baptist Church was well attended on last Sunday.

Harry Wills still hangs around waiting for that glorious day when he will exchange a teacher with the "complimentary champion", Jack Dempsey whose ring career came to an end some years ago. Gene Tunney of the sea seas, because he finds Mr. Wills unwilling to meet him and clamors for a match with Dempsey. His Majesty, George Godfrey has followed the advice of some wise bird..."Go west, young man," and is evidently seeking gold out there. Anyhow, he isn't likely to find either Will or the champion near that region. The middle and hantamweight divisions have been the points of interest for the past winter season. Tigers Flowers dethroned Harry Greb, and Chick Suggs stirred general havoc in the bantam division. This summer will turn out some important tidings for these youths. The Reign of King Flowers One of the most frequent questions flashed in fistic circles is: "Will Flowers successfully defend his title against Greb in the return engagement?" Taking a lot of things for granted we'll assume that the Georgia Demon is able to do this. He is then by no means on the easy path. It is reported that Mickel Walker, the wetter champ, desires another crown, and the one for which he is signed to try is the middleweight head gear which, proud to say, Flowers now wears. Nor is this the first time Mickey's aspirations have pointed at the dual title. Greb shattered his hopes for such last summer, and Tiger stopped Harry. Now if comparison means anything, Flowers should repulse the strongest rush of the wetterweight king. This done, we look forward to seeing Flowers stop all other challengers and remain king of the middleweights for a longer time. The Prophet Sav that we should keep our eyes on the New York Giants and Philadelphia Athletics in the major league races for baseball supremacy. While it is good to watch both of these, it would not be at all unwise to hold one eye on the Yankees who hail from Noo Yark. During the exhibition games they officially exhibited the Brooklyn Dodgers, Robins, or what nots. Now they are well away in the American League race and promise to be a burden to somebody. You just watch them. claimed another victim, in the person of Clever Sencio, Filipino bantamweight, who died as a result of a terrific beating dealt out by Bud Taylor, bantamweight man mauler of Terre Haute, Ind. The scraper from the Philippines was on his feet after those ten hectic rounds, but was later found dead in his hotel 100 m, where he died alone. Reports state that the marvelous exhibition of gameness displayed by Sencio against odds was cheered by thousands. Is this gameness, or is this foolishness? Must one give his life to gain the cheers of a crowd? It might seem to be a bad thing to give up and be called a quitter, but it seems to be a much better thing to be able to read about quitting than to be unable to hear the words of praise. Sencio, no doubt would have been living today, had he admitted defeat when he knew the odds were against him. It is a bad thing to quit, but there some times when quitting is the most logical move. Some might label this as admitting a yellow streak, but I just can't get on to the idea of giving one's life to gain the fickle and shallow plaudits of a wild-eyed mob of sport fans, who so forget you in the mad dash for another thrill. iting preachers.

BOXER WHO DREW COLOR LINE HAS MONEY HELD UP (By Associated Negro Press.) (By Associated Negro Press Philadelphia, Pa., April 22- Colored boxers met with white fighters in their matches with white fighters on the country Monday night. Arturo DuKuh, a six-foot, three-inch, 214-pound Italian, made short work of Fred McDougal, six foot, one-inch, 200-pound fighter of Burlington, N. J., when the former knocked out McDougal in the third round of a ten-round semi-final bout at the Arena. The Italian proved himself a tremendous hitter, but not much of a boxer. He didn't have to have a classy defense, however, for his weight and reach seemed to bother McDougal from the start. Although the bout was pleasing to the grief of the fighter, it looked very difficult to the promoter, who declared that McDougal wasn't doing his best. After a talk with Charles Fred White, the commissioner, the colored fighter's money was held up.

BOXING SOLONS ISSUE WARNING TO LEADING FIGHT PROMOTER RICKARD THREATENS TO BE BARRED BY N.Y. COMMISSION New York, April 22—Tex Rickard, nationally famed boxing promoter has all possibility of having his license revoked in this city according to the attitude the State Athletic Commission has assumed in connection with the promoter's efforts to stage a Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney bout at the Yankee Stadium before the outdoor season closes. In addition to not being able to stage fights if his license is revoked, Rickard will also have to close the new Madison Square Garden, which was erected at the cost of $5,000,000, of which part, only about $1,000,000 has been paid. The Commission makes it plain that it will countenance no other bout, in which the champion is featured unless Harry Wills, whom it considers the most logical contender, is the opponent. Rickard has been dickering, both with Dempsey and Tunney for a championship affair, for sometime, and is now in Texas to meet the former, when it is expected that he will affix his signature to a contract calling for the proposed tilt with the former marine. Clover Blanks Paine College (McGhee News Service) Orangeburg, S.

Claflin scored four tal- 1. Rickard Says, Old Stuff Tex Ricard looks lightly upon what the New York Boxing Solons have said and counts it as "almost stuff." He is quoted as having said, "Gene Tunney is the logical opponent for Dempsey in any ring. If the boxing commission won't stand for the bout in New York, I will pull the scrap off at Boyle's Thirty Acres." He said further, "There is little comparison between Harry Wills and Tunney. Tunney has height, weight and youth in his favor." No one knows what the New Jersey commission will do if Rickard attempts to pull the fight off in their fair state. Heretofore, the commission has been cooperating with the New York body and in some circles it is a consensus of opinions that New Jersey will still work in harmony with Messrs. Mildson, Brower and Farley. Farlev Speaks Commissioner Farley, who is chairman of the New York board speaks his mind on the affair and says in part, if Rickard stages the bout: "If he does that, knowing full well our attitude, there will be only one course open to us." Farley declared that Rickard will be declared out of office this state. You can listen to that as long as I am chairman of this commission. My associates are with me in holding for Wills as first challenger, so Rickard can not hope to get away with anything." PUSH ELKS' EDUCATION DRIVE (By Associated Negro Press.)

The first game was a thriller from start to finish, the Dragons piling up a four run lead'in the first inning that could not be overcome by the Wiley hitters. Second Game "Big" Bill Lucas, star lefthander of the Wild Cats could not hold the "Alurdeurs Row" in check and was sent to the showers in the second frame when Williams hit a homer. Three runs off four hits in the first and the homer in the second was the cause of Lucas's downfall. Smith and Dixon also followed Lucas to the showers. The Dragons have won all' of their games and have six conference wins to their credit.

YORK NOSES OUT OVER HILLDALE IN TWO GAMES York, Pa., April 19—The Hilldale club dragged two games here to the hard swatting York nine in a two game series. The eastern lengwers fought hard to stave off defeat in both games, but the York team had a little more stuff to offer. The local baseballbears had several more training than the Hilldale club and used it. Paul Stevens, the York product enjoyed a huge day before the home town fans, the Hildale shortstop had a perfect slate in the field, accepting five chances and figured in the run getting with a single in the seventh. Capt. Frank Warfield also played a whale of a fielding game around the keystones sack and batted two hits. Otto Briggs was another Hildale player who showed form with the will to collect a single and double for his. Tillman worked five innings for the home team and blanked the visitors during his stay on the rubber, only three hits being collected from his delivery. Second Act Hilldale pounded the offerings of Lynch hard and piled up a six run lead in the first three innings. Red Ryan went in behind Lee and ran head on into a gang of trouble. Red only lasted one frame and was nicked for four runs. Winters finished the game and was wild and ineffective, the big southpaw issuing five free passes to first that materially aided the York team to clinch the game. Judy Johnson had a day on with the willow, the third sacker gathering three of the eight hits collected by the Eastern Colored Leaguers. Paul Stevens, the local boy and Joe Faber of the York team both enjoyed a good day in the field. Faber also inserted a timely triple that figured in York's run getting.

C., April 16—Those "rampage" balls. Duke, Conn. Smith University just refused to defeat at the hands of Spruill, the sorrel top mound ace of the Shaw clan here today. And after trailing on the short end of a 6-1 score for seven innings they pounded on him for two runs in the seventh, making the count 6-3. In the eighth two hits and an error added another score to Shaw's list. But the Bulls came back in the eighth and run in four runs tying the count seven all. "Puddle Jumper" Allen was the hero of the eight. It was after Lendasy game by Diamond ahead of him, Coach Martin rushed K. Diamond to the mound to replace Spruill, and he retired the side without further scoring. And thus they came to the ninth. McKeithan was hit by a pitched ball. Lindsay received a free ticket. A double steal placed McKeithan on third and Lindsay on second. Gordon now at bat swing lustily at three pretty ones and quickly took a seat on the bench. Then Hayes, Smith's most dependable mounder, came up. The first ball, which was high, hit Hayes out the air with a lusty swing and missed by a foot. Coach Leech ran up and whispered a word of advice to him. The next one was a drop. Hayes crouched and swung, the crack of his bat resounding over the hills like a pistol shot sent the white pill sinking through the air and finally sinking out of sight beyond the right field fence. A home run was, scoring McKeithan and Lindsay ahead of him, and the game was over.

PETERS Lawrenceville, Va., April 22—St. Paul lost its third association game here today, when the strong and shifty A, and T, aggregation touched Wallace for seven hits, resulting in a four to one score. Wallace trudged with the whole road for the Tigers with Lanky Colson at his side. Cooke for the Tigers garnered two hits; a triple and a single resulting in the only marker for the Tigers. Colson pitched a heady game of ball, giving up but nine hits. In the last of the fourth, Valentine grounded to Henderson; Cooke in order ripped off a scorching triple to center field.

Parents can only give to their offspring, that which they possess. The children of healthy parentage will be healthy, all other things being equal, and similarly, the children of a physically degenerate family must of necessity be physically defective or unhealthy.

Tally Holmes, who was the national champion and No. 1 in 1923 and 1924, is placed at No. 4. On the basis of all round play in the nationals, and the other major tournaments held under the auspices of the A. T. A. during the season of 1925, the rating of the best player in the Thompson's superiority was unchallenged and his record bears no marks of defeat. His sole reversal of form was his defeat by Dr. O. B. Williams in the Midwestern Open Tournament at Wilborforce. However, this defeat can be discounted as this particular match was played indoors in a gymnasium, which had very little back space. This handicap was far more severe to one employing the "driving game" as does Brown, than to a chop stroke arsenal. Dr. O. B. Williams also, Dr. Williams has always been a sort of "jiinx" to Brown. Brown has frequently, easily defeated men far superior to Williams and in the same tournament, has himself been eliminated by the Chicago champion.

The boys delegated to the Older Boys Conference of Virginia, and accompanied by Mr. E. S. Peter, left Norfolk at 9 a.m. for Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. The trip was pleasant from start to finish; it was a continuous panorama of sunshine, rivers, bridges, virgin foliage, sprouting vegetation, sheep, cattle and landscape. What better start for such a conference could have been hoped for? The Captain of the train complimented the appearance of our delegation, wished us a pleasant stay in Petersburg and invited us to return on his train if we found it convenient to do so. We arrived in Petersburg on schedule time, the day before the conference by committee of boys whose coadjural greetings gave us our first impression of the pleasant days that awaited us in the City and at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. Together we hiked to the "Hill", and were received by Dean Puryear who assigned us to comfortable quarters in which we were to live until Sunday. In the early afternoon lunchme was served after which the brief intervening time before the first session was very happily spent in making acquaintances with the students and delights from all be shown at the Attucks Theatre Thursday and Friday.

C. Johns, Lynchburg, Va., who addressed the conference at length on the subject: "Our New Day in Virginia." Rev. Johns is a well read man and possessed an unusual power of speech. In a most striking manner he reviewed the old days of Virginia and visualized the new day ahead. The speaker impressed us that with the new day shall come new opportunities and new responsibilities, and that the desired new day shall come only at the instance of our efforts, our sacrifice and our prayers. At the close of the address prayer was offered and the meeting adjourned to meet again Saturday morning, April 17th. Our day had been a full one, its interest had been varied, its experiences all new to us. We had caught the spirit of the conference. After a nice warm breakfast Saturday morning we assumed conference at 9:20 a.m. To our surprise we found a full orchestra, and to our greater surprise, we learned that it had come from the Huntington High School, of Newport News. The orchestra gave a short concert and Mr. Archie Richardson again conducted a song service. At 10 o'clock, Dr. J. M. Gandy lead the conference in a solemn devotional, the theme being "Our Personal Lives In Our New Day." The leader read several passages from a scriptural text prepared by Dr. Fosdick, made a touching comment upon what he had read and lead the conference in prayer. After a selection by the orchers.

FRANK McLAUGHLIN Vice-President parts of Virginia and inspecting the unique plant and equipment of the school. DELEGATES REGISTER At 2 o'clock the delegates registered as follows: Wm. Robinson Jr., Boys Club and Bank Street Baptist Sunday School; Van Buren Luke, Boys Club and Euvika Lodge of Elks, Wendy Hosley, Boys Club of Elks, First United Presbyterian Church; Clarence Willie Street Baptist Church and Boys Club; Nathaniel McPherson, Booker T. Washington Junior High School and Boys Club; Junius Healey, First Calvary Baptist Church and Boys Club; Patrick Jeffries, First Calvary Baptist Church and Boys Club and Thomas Griffin, First Baptist Church, Lambert's Point and Boys Club. Upon registering each boy, he was given a beautiful piece of white ribbon upon which the following was printed: "1st Colored Older Boys Conference, Petersburg, Va., April 16, 17, 18, 1926" together with a neat card upon which his name and City were written. These were pinned on the left lapel of the coat, the card at the top of the hat. At 7:40 o'clock the conference assembled for its opening session. The first forty minutes were spent in singing. Familiar hymns, folk songs and spirituals were sung and several new songs were taught us by Mr. Archie G. Richardson, who led the singing. The singing was unusually good, it was alive, full of spirit and real music. CONFERENCE CALLED TO ORDER At 7:50 the conference was called to order by Dr. J. M. Gandy, President of the institution, who, after very pointed remarks introduced Mr. S. A. Brown jr. of Petersburg. Mr. Brown extended a welcome on behalf of the boys of Petersburg, after which Dean C. W. Florence extended a welcome on behalf of the City and School. In response, Mr. Lawrence Burwell of the Roanoke delegation expressed the visitors appreciation for the generous hospitality of the boys, the City of Petersburg and the school. Mr. F. Palmer of the Huntington High School of the News, responded for the leaders. After the speeches of welcome were made the Chairman announced that the conference would immediately go into organization Upon a vote of the conference it was determined that Mr. Cornelius Blackwell, of Booker T. Washington High School, Norfolk, should act as secretary pro tem. The chairman then appointed Mr. John Clare, leader of the Danville, delegation, Mr. Finney of Virginia State College and Mr. E. S. Peters, leader of the Norfolk delegation, to act as tellers for the election. The following officers were elected: W. H. Hatchett, of c Installs A Pittsburg tra and aong, the conference was divided into sections. The Senior High School boys, who are going to College met with Mr. Craver of the Student Department, National Council Y. M. C. A., Southern Region, and the boys who are yet in High School met with Mr. R. W. Bullock, National Secretary Y. M. C. A. Work with Colored Boys, Mr. Craver discussed the college Y. M. C. A. and Mr. Bullock discussed the Hi-Y. Clubs. These discussions were extended and open and after an hour the conference re-assembled. Mr. Craver's section was heard from after which Mr. Peters reported for Mr. Bullock's section, and addressed the conference briefly on the five points emphasized in that discussion. At 2 o'clock the meeting adjourned and the delegates sat for a picture at the East entrance of the Main Building. An inter-racial meeting was scheduled for 2:30 o'clock, but due to the illness of both Mrs. B. B. Mumford and Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, this part of the program was omitted and the conference went again into group conference. We were indeed happily surprised at this meeting to see Mr. T. P. Turner enter the building. All the problems common to High. School Boys were gone into with gloves off and out of these discussions we have gotten many valuable suggestions which we hope to promote for a higher, cleaner boyhood in the City of Norfolk.

ALL OTHER ITEMS OF RESOURCE This includes various petty transactions that will mean a profit to the bank. CUSTOMERS LIABILITY ACCT ACCEPTANCES Trade acceptances carried by the bank. LIABILITIES This term means what the bank "Owes." Another good way to differentiate Resources and Liabilities is to think of the Resources as where the banks money is and the Liabilities as to whom it belongs. CAPITAL STOCK PAID IN This is the amount put up by the shareholders as capital to open and run the institution. SURPLUS FUND This amount represents what a bank has been able to earn and save since it's organization. It is a reserve fund. UNDIVIDED PROFITS.

DEPOSITS AT DEPOSITS CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSITS There are usually, two kinds of these; Demand certificates which can be cast at any time and time when you have a certain period to run; such as ninety days, six months or a year. These deposits are similar to Savings Deposits in that they bear interest, only a CERTIFICATE is given for the money deposited instead of a pass book. CERTIFIED CHECKS OUT-STANDING When a customer has a check certified the money is placed in this account until the check is presented and cashed. CASHIERS CHECKS OUT-STANDING This account is similar to Certified Chucke's Check. When a customer "buys" a Chucke's Check, the money stays here until the check is cashed.

To a concern kept its ness before the eye it constantly told it was selling, it w lic interest and g share of trade. To that idea and adv and give good stu to come as anything world of chance. To success, and to open to newcomers. There is something inspiring about achievement. When one journeys to a famous city and sees wonderful buildings, fine artistic homes, a tremendous fabric of commerce and industry, he is incited to go back and try to do something along the line of attainment. And the way to success is always open to those who know how to play the game. Fortune does not come by luck. Success comes from playing the recognized game of business, taking advantage of economic law, giving the people some better service than they had before. The pages of any well circulated magazine or newspaper will give the ambitious man hints that have been boomed by advertising. He will note many articles that became a household word through the power of publicity. A few years ago the producers of these articles may have been obscure men. But they had faith to go ahead and promote their products through publicity, and a great harvest has resulted. So it is in the use of publicity in the newspaper field. All big successes in retail trade have been produced by advertising. A number of years ago in many cases these firms were unknown or non-existent, or only starting in a small way. Their owners were students of human nature. They knew that if a concern kept its name and its business before the eyes of the people, if it constantly told about the things it was selling, it would arouse public interest and get more than its share of trade. When people get that idea and advertise intelligently and give good stuff, success is sure to come as anything can be in the world of chance. It is a short path to success, and the door is always open to newcomers. MIMS. G. J. RUSSELL B. and A. GLEENARD. Prop. 738 Church Telephone. ANDREW K.

At Grace Church last Sunday a large congregation heard Rev. Harris preach on “The Spirit of Christ,” using as his text, Rom. 8:9. The further the stream gets away from the source the more impurities are gathered. Th i's thought was illustrated by showing the great difference between the observance of Easter, Christmas Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving Day, now from the beginning. If those who lived when these days were first celebrated were to return now and see ours, no doubt they Would not be able to recognize them. This same thing has befall- en Christ, Almost immediately after tho Ascension theories about Him began to develop, theories as to His pre-existence, birth, death, resurrection, the sacrament, ete. ‘These theories are by no means essential to discipleship, but hav- ing His Spirit is by all essential. Indeed, unless we have it, says the Apostle, we have no claim to be called His. “Christ didn’t give us a set of rules to live by, but He gave us certain principles, He tried to give us His Spirit, His attitude, as for example, He ‘tried to give us the spirit of forgiveness, the spirit of neighborliness, the spirit of Sab- bath observane.” "The speaker then showed how dif- ferent. men had made great im- pressions in the Church’s history by catching the Spirit of the Christ John Wesley, Martin Luther and others’ work was dwelt upon. Rev. Harris concluded by saying that, “We may not be able to be Luth- ers and Wesleys, but we could all carry the Spirit of Christ in our homes, at work, in our pleasures and in our churches.” For the offertory the choir ren- dered very beautifully “Sanctus”, with Mr. Albert Foster as. the soloist.

Sellina would call in and she meant to be a gay voice, through chattering teeth. "You better come down and dress here is warm here by the store." Fearing door performances in the street through which the parade jumped swelled so proudly into downtown, Sellina could vaguely desri. Mrs. Pool stationed just below, or gaze upturned. That first morning, on hearing this situation, Sellina had been rocked horror and mith. "I'm not old really. I'm almost dressed. I'll down directly." Mantje Pool must have sensed the shock in the girls' voice, perhaps, ever since they the image, of the girls are long out breaks cutting. Here back of her you can dress warm." Sibrery and tempted though she Selina had set her wife against "I won't go down," she said to herself, shaking with the cold. "I come down to dress behind the kitchen stove like n—like an insult in one of those dreadful Russian novels. "That sounds stuck up and world. The whole house and kind and decadent. "But I won't come down to behind the stove with a handle of underwear in my arms. Doe, this corset's like a casing of jeet. "But I won't dress behind the kitchen stove" declared Selina, during meanwhile at that hollow release, the drum. She even stuck her tongue out at it (only nineteen, member!). When she thought back, years later on that period of her High Life experience, stoves seemed to wither with memory. That might well be. A store changed the whole course of life. From the first, the schoolhouse here was her beet noir. Out of the matter of that first year it stood, large and monochrom, a black tyrant. The High Pride schoolhouse in which Selma taught was a little more than a mile up the road behind the Pool farm. She canne to know that road in all its moods, drifted with snow, wallowing in the middle. Schoolgan at past eight. Schoolgan at last eight. Selma had the mathematics of her morning reduced to the least common denominator. Up at six. A plunge into the friid garments; breakfast of bread, cheese, sometimes bacon, always rye coffee with cream or sugar. On with the milk, muffler, hood, mittens, gasket. The lunch box in bad weather. Up the road to the schoolhouse, the prairie wind that creeps into the eaves, slowing the dirt and ruts and rips and ridges in dry weather. Excellent at night in Sun, as in rain, in wind or snow, her mind's fire was fixed on the stove. The schoolhouse reached, her numbed wrestles with the rusty lock. The door opened, there smoke her mumbo snuffed, with the rusty lock. The door opened, there smoke her mumbo snuffed, with the rusty lock. Into Selma she entered her mumbo as she entered her mumbo there was a box plump with chunks of stone-wood and another dried with dried corn-cobs. Alongside this a can of kerosene. The doors as kindling. A dozen more of these son snaked with kerosene and stuffed into the maw the rusty iron potbelled store. A match. Up flared the corn-cobs. was the amount for a small wood; another to keep it company. Shut the door. Droughts. Humps. Suspense. A dare. then a chuck now. caught. In with a chuck now. caught. Another chuck. Slam the door. The schoolhouse fire is started for the day. As the room thawed gradually Selma removed layers of water garments. By the time the children arrived the room was livable. Shelia had seen herself, dignified, gentle, instructing a rooftop of cherubs in the simpler elements of learning. But it is difficult to be dignified and gracious when you are suffering from chilliness. Selina fell victim to this wild disdain as she did every child in the room. She sat at the butcher's and wiped desk or shawl ice-wool ground around her when the wind was wrong. Her milk was baked. Her white litter seemed whiter in contrast. with the black folds of this somber garment. Her silm hands were rough and chapped. The oldest child in the room was thirteen and the youngest four and a half. Early in the winter Solin had a large window opening the ice-locked windows at intervals and giving the children five minutes of exercise while the fresh cold air cleared brains and room at once. Arms waved wildly, heads wobbled, short legs worked vigorously. At the end of the week twenty High Prairie parents sent protests by note on his Katrina and Agile went to school to learn reading and writing and numbers, not to stand with open windows in the winter. On the Pool farm the winter work had set in. Klaas drove into Chicago with winter vegetables only once a week now. He and Jakob and Roel were storing potatoes and cabbages underground; repairing cences; preparing ice cream; spelling out sorting seedlings. It had been Roel who had taught Selna to build the schoolhouse fire. He had gone with her on that first morning, had starred the fire, filled the water pail, initiated her in the rites of corn-cobs, kerosene and dampers. A shy, dark, silent boy. She set out deliberately to woo him to friendship. In a book called *Tvanhoe*, Would you like to read it? "Well, I don't get much time." "You wouldn't have to hurry. Right there in the house. And there's another called *The Three Musketeers*. He was rrying not to appear pleased; to appear stolid and Dutch. Like the people from whom he had sprung, Some Dutch sailor ancestor, Sella thought, or fisherman, must have touched at an Italian port or harbor, where he saw whose eyes and skin and feeling for beauty had skipped layer on layer of pluck Netherlands to crop out now in this wistful sensitive boy. She had spoken to Pool about a shelf for her books and her photographs. He had put up a rough bit of board, very crude and ugly, but it had served. She had come from one snowy afternoon to find this shelf gone and in its place a smooth and polished one, with brackets intricately carved. Roof had cut, polished, and carved it in many hours of work in the cold little shed off the kitchen. He had there a workshop of sorts, fitted with such tools and implements as he could devise. He did man's work on the farm, yet often at night. Selina could feinly hear the rasp of his handswift offer she in the shade, which he was looked upon by Kinsa Pool as foolishness. Roof's real work in the shed was the making and mending of coldframes and hotbeds for the early spring plants. Whenever possible Roof neglected this dull work for some fancy of his own. To this Kinsa Pool objected as being "dumb." "Reel! stop that foolishness, get your mum once some wood. Carving on that box again instead of finishing them coldframes. Some day, by golly, I show you. I break every stick . . . dumb as a Groningen. Did I did not suit. He seemed not to mind, particularly, but he come back to the carved box as soon as chance presented itself. He was reading her books with such humer as to cause her to wonder if AGNEW She Would Read Aloud to Him While He Carved. her stock would last him the winter. Sometimes, after supper, when he was hammering and sawing away in the little shed Selina would snatch Maurice's old shawl off the hook, and swathed in this against draughty chinks, she would read aloud to him while he carried or talk to him above the tools. Selina was a gay and volatile person. She loved to snake this boy laugh. His dark face would flash in almost dazzling animation. Sometimes Maurice would come to the shed door, would come there a moment, hugging her arms in her rolled apron and smiling at them, uncompelling but companionable. "You make fun, hm!" Come in, Mrs. Pool. Sit down on my box and make fun, too. Here, you may have half the shawl." "Og Heden! I got no time to sit down." She was off. Roelf slid his plane slowly, more slowly, over the surface of sutin- smooth oak board. He stopped, twined a curl of shaving about his finger. "When I am a man, and earning, I am going to buy my mother a silk dress like I saw in a store in Chicago and she should put it on every day, not only for Sunday; and sit in a chair and make little flus stitches like Widow Paarlenger." "What else are you going to do when you grow up?" She waited, certain that he would say something delightful. "Drive the team to town alone to market." "Oh, Boelf!" "Sure. Already I have gone five times—twice with Jakob and three times with Pop. Pretty soon, when I am seventeen or eighteen, I can go alone. At five in the afternoon you start and at nine you are in the Haymarket. There all night you sleep on the wagon. There are gas lights. The men play dice and cards. At four in the morning you are ready when they come, the commission men and the peddlers and the grocery men. Oh, it's fine, I tell you." She "felt" she was bitterly disappointed. "Here. Look." He rummaged around in a dusty box in a corner, and suddenly shy again, laid before her a torn sheet of coarse brown paper on which he had sketched crudely, effectively, a melee of great haunched horses; wagons in high with garden tricycles; in overall with gardening; during gas torches. He drawn it with a stub of pencil exactly as it looked to him. The result was as startling as that achieved by the present-day discipline of the impressionistic school. Selina was encumbered. Once, early in December, Selina went into town. The trip was born of sudden revolt against her surroundings and the great loss of nostalgia and the claim of awards of Chicago. Early Saturday morning Klaus drove her to the railway station five miles distant. She was to stay until Sunday. A letter and been written Julie Hempel ten days before, but there had been no answer. Once in town she went straight to the Hempel house, Mrs. Hempel, thin-tipped, met her in the hall and said that Julie was out of town. She was visiting her friend Miss Arnold, in Kansas City. Selina was not asked to stay to dinner. She was not asked to sit down. When she left the house her great fine eyes seemed larger and more deep-set than ever, and her jaw-line was set hard against the invasion of tears. Suddenly she found none of her; that brushed past her, bumping her elbow and offering no apology; that claused, and stirredke, and whistled and roared in her ears now grown accustomed to the prairie silence. She spent the time between one and three buying portable presents for the entire Pool household—including bananas for Geerlie and Jozina, for whom that farmland fruit had the fascination always held for the farm children. Five and nearly trudged the five miles from the station to the farm, arriving half frozen, weary, with aching arms and nipped toes, to a great welcome of the squirrels, grunks, barks, and gutturals that formed the expression of the Pool household. She was astonished to find how happy she was return to the farm, the frying pork, to her own room with the walnut bed and the book shelf. Even the grim drum had taken on the dear and comforting aspect of the accustomed. Augusta Votes Sewers For Colored Area Augusta, Ga., April 21—The City Council of Augusta has just authorized extensive additions to the sewerage system, which will greatly improve the sanitary conditions of the Southern section of the city in which live most of the colored population. Eleven streets hitherto without sewerage will be served by the extensions authorized. That effort was initiated and carried to success through the efforts of the local interracial committee, composed of a number of leading citizens of both races. Hon. George Barrett, prominent lawyer, heads the white section of the committee, and Miss Lugy Lancy, principal of Haines Institute, is chairman of the colored section. Commenting editorially on the enterprise, the Augusta Chronicle says, "It is of importance not only to the community immediately involved in the project, but since the people of all Augusta are interested in and affected by the welfare and health of the colored population."

LAUTIER Washington, D. C., April 24—The question of whether or not Southern States are disfranchising Negroes in violation of the Constitution was injected into a discussion of the prohibition law on the floor of the Senate last Wednesday. Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Iowa, contended that laws disfranchising Negroes in Southern States were within the Constitution. Senator William Cabell Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, argued that the South solved its suffrage problems despite the Constitution. Borah Begins Discussion This discussion was begun when Senator Borah characterized Senate hearings on modification of the Volstod act as "a great campaign to find a way by which to evade the Constitution of the United States without apparently doing so." He declared that the fundamental question involved was the enforcement and upholding of the Constitution, "the only one." He declared the proposal to leave to the several states the enforcement of the Constitution. When Senator Borah declared that the great debate prior to the Civil War was over the question of "whether or not the States should determine what laws should be enforced and what should not, under the Constitution of the United States," Senator Bruce interrupted to say that "The Senator will remember, however, that when the South asked that the fugitive slave law be enforced, legislatures throughout the free States convined, in just the manner the Senator from Idaho has reprobed so strongly for the wrongs of the South under the law, and passed personal liberty laws." He added that "Judges and juries too, refused to put the law into execution." "Senator Borah asked the question if Senator Bruce contended "that the Northern States which undertook by legislation to nullify the provisions of the Constitution which gave the Southern States the right to follow their slaves were applying constitutional principles? They were simply evading, nullifying, and destroying the Constitution itself." Senator Borah said. Bruce Agrees Senator Bruce agreed with him and said that it illustrated the fact that "when laws undertake to fly in the face of nature they will not be observed." "Did not the South after the Civil War determine for itself, without regard to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. It would or would not have ignorant Negro suffrage riveted upon its neck?" Senator Bruce asked. "Did not every southern man of every station in life exercise every power that lay in him to stay the consequences of that frightful curse?" "So far as I know," replied Senator Borah, "every law passed by the Southern States and now in force with reference to Negro enclaves in the South Negro to vote, has been sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States as constitutional." Senator Bruce declared that "there is nothing which I regard with more satisfaction that the fact that when I was a boy living in a remote countryside, all the white citizens of that community were banded together like brothers for the purpose of nullifying those amendments to the Federal Constitution Congress when it enforced to enforce them; and, thank God, they defeated it." Borah's Charge Senator Borah charged that Senator Bruce was preaching the doctrine of communism in the Senate. When Senator Bruce denied this charge, Senator Borah repudiated the charge and added archily. But do I understand the able Senator Maryland to know that the Southern States know, in violation of the Constitution and in violation of the Supreme Court decisions, disfranchising the Negroes of the South?" Senator Borah asked. "I mean to say that the South has solved its own suffrage problems in its own way, and it has solved them so wisely, despite constitutional and statutory inhibitions in whole country has acquiesced in its conduct," Senator Bruce replied. The southern people chose between constitutional abstractions and civilization. Senator Bruce said. Senator George H. Moses, Republican, of New Hampshire, declared that they had another choice of reduction of representation. "It is a great and high privilege to suppress millions of votes," Senator Moses said. "and why does not southern chivalry come to the front and pay the price which the Constitution mentions. Senator Borah declared that he has "always thought that the enfranchisement of the Negro, at the time it took place, was a mistake. It was unjust to the white and unjust to the colored man. "I have said here on the floor of the Senate," Senator Borah said, "I though it was a mistake to take a race which had been in slavery for 300 years, and overnight put upon them the burdens and the obligations of discharging political duties in a great representative Republic, an almost impossible proposition. It required something of the Negro that no race in history could have adequately met. He would have been better off to have worked out through time and education his franchise. But I do not agree with the Senator (Bruce) that at the present time the Southern States are doing these things in violation of the Supreme Court decisions. They have worked out a solution within the Constitution and within the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. COLUMBIA ELKS LODGE MAY GET A SUSPENSION COLUMBIA ELKS LODGE MAY GET A SUSPENSION (Special to the Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., April 20-J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted to Ruler of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, has signified his intention of transferring his membership from Columbia Lodge No. 85, to W. Bruce Evans Lodge No. 380, of Fairmont Heights, Maryland. He has issued a special dispensation to Bruce Evans Lodge to receive his mas a member. The granting of this dispensation is taken as an indication that the Grand Exalted Ruler is preparing to go through with his threatened suspension of Columbia Lodge for ignoring the decision of District Deputy E. W. Bundy in allowing an appeal by Joseph I. Beiley in the case of Herbert C. Akers, who was acquitted by the lodge on a charge or having made standerous remarks concerning the Grand Exalted Ruler. Columbia Lodge was ordered to show cause why it should not be suspended. It advised the Grand Exalted Ruler that the lodge was of the opinion that District Deputy Bundy acted without authority, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson takes the position that the lodge should have followed the regular procedure and appealed to him and by its action in ignoring a decision of the District Deputy, the lodge rebelled against the laws and authority of the Grand Lodge. The whole matter is held in abeyance until the Grand Exalted Ruler returns from the West. He left Sunday night for Pt. Waway, South Bend and Indianapolis, Ind. RICHMOND, VA Richmond, Va.-Mr. C. W.

Henderson People Left Large Estate By Prisoner of the City Henderson, N.C., April 22. A late state belonging to Melissa Townes, of this city, who died about a year ago, and amounting to $31,916.42, was brought to an action in the City Council at its regular meeting last Monday night, in which steps were taken to list and collect taxes upon the unlisted property of the dead woman for the years 1921 to 1925, both inclusive. Tax officials of Vance county are also moving to levy upon the property, most of which never was upon the tax books. It was estimated at the meeting last Monday night that the city would realize approximately $1,500 out of the collections, and t he county will get more than that, if it presses its case. The estate came to light in the filing of a statement with the clerk of the court by the administrator, in which was listed $25,666.46 on deposit in cash in the Mechanics and Farmers Bank of Durham, a Negro bank; $1,899.96 in the Citizens Bank and Trust Company of Henderson; and houses and vacant lots in and near Henderson valued at $4,350.

(Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., April 22—Through Attorney Armand W. Scott, Mrs. Ida B. Miles has filed suit for a limited divorce from her husband, David L. Miles, whom she says is employed in the week days as a messenger in the Interior Department and on Sundays preaches at a church in Alexandria, Va. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Miles says that for the first two years and a half of their married life, they got along fine, but that at the end of that period a woman by the name of Beatrice Brown came to live in the house where they resided. Her husband, she says, became infatuated with Beatrice Brown and began clandestine meetings with her. Because of his friendship with Beatrice Brown, Mrs. Miles charges, her husband became cold and indifferent towards her. Mrs. Miles says that she went to visit her sister in Philadelphia about March 21, last, and upon her return home three weeks later she found that her husband had moved and had made no arrangements for any place for her and their two children. At the time she went to Philadelphia, she says, her husband was not speaking to her and had not spoken to her since last June. Her husband calls himself a minister of the gospel, Mrs. Miles says, and is a regular pastor of a church in Alexandria, Va. He receives about $75 a month from this church, Mrs. Miles states, and the church sisters supply him with clothes, money and other necessities of life. He is also a messenger in the Interior Department and receives $115 a month from the government, Mrs. Miles says he has told her. Mrs. Miles asks the court for a limited divorce, temporary and permanent alimony and counsel fees. The couple were married in the District of Columbia on July 29, 1920, by the Rev. W. H. Hill. They have two children, a boy, aged 2 years, and a girl, aged 15 months. Both are in the custody of the mother. WAVERLY, VA.

HAITI PRESIDENT'S TITLE QUESTIONED HAITI PRESIDENT'S TITLE QUESTIONED Washington, D. C., April 22. The appointment of a special committee to investigate the eligibility of President Louis Borne of Haiti was urged at the opening session Wednesday morning of the 11th annual meeting of the National Race Congress of America, at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church. Napoleon J. Francis, deputy inspector of Haiti, proposed the resolution, stating that under the provisions of the Haitian constitution President Borne is not eligible to hold the office of president of Haiti. Furthermore, Mr. Francis continued. President Borne, is not the people's choice, but he is able to remain in office through the inactivity of the United States officials, and the inherent power of his office. PLEA MADE TO UNITED STATES Mr. Francis also proposed resolutions to the effect that the United States Government recognize all decisions of the Haitian courts, that the Marines stationed there be withdrawn as soon as possible, and that the United States refrain from interfering in Haitian affairs except to insure order and fair treatment at the polls.

Jefferson Davis, Himself A Prisoner, Loses No Time In Evangelism While Awaiting A Hearing. (By Preston News Service) Newark, N. J.—Rev. Jefferson A. Davis, wasn't wasting any time while he was awaiting extraction to this city; detectives learned when they visited the Tombs Thursday afternoon preparatory to bringing him here to answer complaints of unbezilling sums totaling $2,905. Davis had taken under his spiritual guidance some other than another prisoner who Friday was sentenced to death on a first degree murder conviction. In fact, if the time for Davis' extradition hadn't arrived so quickly he would have confirmed the condemned man. Davis didn't tell the police about his good work in the Tombs, but one of the keepers did and added that he was a model prisoner. Davis always had his Bible and would read it nightly, the keeper said. Then he began to get all the other prisoners interested. "Toad he couldn't stay until Sunday," the keeper said. That murderer is scheduled to be confirmed a result of Davis' good teaching." The local police have five complaints against Davis, who gave his address as he was 29th, New York to October of last year, during which time Davis was general manager of the Investment Home Building Association in a Washington Street building. Robert W. Bennett, charged that he received two checks from Davis for amounts totaling $420 and they proved to be worthless. The other complaints charging embezzlement and the amount alleged to be owned by Davis Gold, Piney Goldsmith, Mr. Emma Campbell, $375; William B. Lockett, $600, and S. B. Brown, $500. Officers trailed him in New York about a month ago and effected his capture. SPIRIT KENTUCKY SUSPECT AWAY By Anastasia Presl (By Associated Negro Press.)

Years ago education meant preparation for life but today education is life, declared Miss Alice G. Bryant, director of extension work, Hampton Institute, in an address before the Second District Teachers Conference of the Negro Status Teachers Association in session at Huntington High School Auditorium on Friday of last week. The subject of Miss Bryant's address was "Reading." She has had wide experience in both elementary and secondary teaching, and outlined for the benefit of the teachers what constitutes scientific reading. She called attention to the outstanding difficulty, impunity, the inability to read rapidly and understandly. So many students, said Miss Bryant, fail to cover the requisite number of words per minute with a comprehensive grasp of the subject read as they ought to. Above all, she said, a child must first have a desire to read, then be surrounded by opportunities to ability to read well and understand as fast as he or she reads. Miss Bryant, who is a white woman, declared that in her experience as a teacher she had noted no difference in the mental capacity of children as to races. There is no difference between the brain of a colored or white child in so far as either may be endowed to grasp learning. The speaker told the teachers that one of the very best mediums for teaching pupils correct reading is the newspapers. She also included good text books, good moral stories, religious stories and books of wisdom for children. She closed her address by recommending to the teachers "Moore's Silent Reading Test" and "Smith's 100 Ways of Scientific Reading" (World Book Company, New York) for their use. Dr. Charles H. Wesley, head of the department of history at Howard University, spoke on "Dynamic Education." Dr. Wesley pointed out that "thought" is the most dynamic factor in the process of education.

The conference opened 10 O'clock, the president, Palmer, of Newport News, presiding. Music was rendered by the Huntington High School chorus.

Miss Theresa Hamlet, of Newport News, very pleasingly rendered a solo. Dr. John M. Gandy, president of V. N. & I. L. president of the Negro School Teachers' Association delivered an address in which he dwelt on the history of the association, pointing out that its most outstanding recent accomplishment was his quota of $250.00 for a national institution. Dr. Gandy closed his talk with the suggestion that a statewide spelling bee might be a good idea to engage the attention of the teachers, as well as athletic contests with the state giving prizes such as have been in vogue in North Carolina for two years. In the afternoon the session opened with music by a Junior Quartette, of Newport News, consisting of the three Savage brothers, Dr. Wesley Lawrence Talmer, Dr. Wesley delivered this session.

MASONIC TEMPLE SAVED BY THE GRAND LODGE MASONIC TEMPLE SAVED BY THE GRAND LODGE BY LOUIS R. LAUTIER Washington , D. G.-April—The unfinished Masonic structure at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, was sold at public auction Monday afternoon to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons for the District of Columbia. The successful bid for this property was the sum of $99,000. It was made by Drs. S. S. Thompson, and W. H. Jackson, acting for the Masonic Grand Lodge. It was $1,000 more than the sum offered by Harry Wardman of the Wardman Construction Company, who is said to have been bidding for the National Geographic Society, which contemplated completing the building and exchanging that property for the property owned by the Old Fellows on M Street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, northwest. A deposit of $2,500 cash was made at the time of the sale. The Masonic Grand Lodge has thirty days in which to raise and pay the sum of $30,500 representing one-third of the purchase price. The balance of the purchase price is to be represented by two promissory notes secured by a first deed of trust, payable in one and two years from the date of sale. This property was sold at public auction under an order of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia signed by Justice William Hitz, March 2, last. Attorneys Alexander Wolf and William L. Houston, opposing counsel in the litigation involving this property, were appointed trustees to make the sale. Herbert L. Davis, court auditor, who was appointed special master to hear and determine all questions involved, was directed by the trustees of the trustees and make disbursements of the proceeds of the sale to the persons entitled after the sale is confirmed by the court. Ground for the construction of this building was broken in June, 1922. On August 8, 1922, the cornerstone was laid. No work has been done on the structure since December, 1923.

Franklin, Va.—This town and surrounding communities mourn the loss of an educational leader, Prof. Henry Richard Logan, who was taken seriously ill on Friday, April 2, and died one week later, Friday, April 9, at his home here. Funeral over the remains of the deceased was held at St. Luke A.M. E. Zion Church on Monday, April 12, amidst a crowd of surrowing friends, during which time the cemetery was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Alexander, of Suffolk, in the absence of the pastor of the deceased. Resolutions of sympathy from the Franklin Grade School were read by Miss Sadie Doles; from the church by Mr. Clinton Wooding; from Southampton County Teachers' Association by which Prof. Logan was president, by Mrs. Ada U. Gary; from the family by Miss Sadie Doles. A solo, "Face to Face" was sung very touchingly by Mrs. Rosa Bibbins. Remarks on the deceased were made by County Superintendent F. F. Jenkins on behalf of the public schools and by Mr. McClan, a member of the Franklin School Board. The Rev. M. C. Allen was master of ceremonies. At the close of the funeral program, the Musonic lodge took charge and performed the sites of the order over the remains. On Tuesday the body was shipped to Elizabeth City, N. C. for internment, accompanied by the family, Prof. Logan's associate teachers; his senior high school class; his pastor, the Rev. J. St. Clair Drake; his physician, Dr. F. N. Harris; the nurse, Mrs. Erdie Smith, Rev. M. C. Allen and Dr. E. L. H. Rance, of Suffolk. Prof. H. R. Logan was born in Zenia, Ohio, where he obtained his elementary education, after which he entered the College of Liberal Arts of Howard University, from which he graduated in 1911. He later took a post-graduate course at Columbia University. For the past six years he has been a leader of educational affairs in this city, having labored untimely with the having seen erected in this city a school building which would reflect credit upon the town. Although taken before the bud of his expectation blossom into fruition, his work can never be forgotten and his spirit will live in the hearts of those with whom he came in contact. It can be truly said of him that he had the welfare of his race at heart and lived a life of service, allowing neither the opposition of friends to deter nor the malignancy of any kind to stampede him. He possessed patience as well as enthusiasm. It was his force of will and his determination not to give up that enabled him to struggle against disease and actually repel and keep it at a distance until he finally succeeded peacefully and quietly after a week's illness at the age of 38. To the family of the late Prof. H. R. Logan. Accept my heartfelt sympathy in this your hour of bereavement, I had known the deceased for more than 20 years, having been a school mate and friend of his at Howard University and later we worked together in various sections of the North. He truly was a man of a fine spirit and lofty ideas. His death comes as a personal shock and loss to me.

RAGERELATIONS COMMISSION (IN ANNUAL: MEET Tuskegee: Institnte, | Aa, APY 15-—The seventh annual meeting of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, which was held here last week, wus the most numerous- ly attended in the history of the movement, und, in the opinion of many, the hest, Seventy-five members of the Commission and staff were present. from all parts of the South, besides more than a hundred visitors and members of the Tuskegee faculty. Encouraging Reports ‘The reports from, the field were very, encouraging, indicating de- ¢ided .and general improv em ent both in interracial conditions and attitudes. It was found. that even the few unfavorable situations which developed within the yeu— such as the barber bill in Atlanta and the Hampton Institute bill in Virginfa—served to stir up and s0- lidify the friends of interracial justice rather than to work aygainst the movement. The Commission was eepectally gratified with the widespread anti- lynching campaign, as evidenced by the uprising of public senti- ment in Mississippi, the cessation ‘of lynchitigs in Texas, the grow- ing determination of’ sherilfs. to protect their prisoners, and the imiversul_ condemnation’ of this crime voiced by the newspapers. Ic is tov much to hops for the im- mediate ond of Iynchings in A- meriea, bur the Commission was encouraged to helfeve that the goal can be attained and that continued progress to thatend is to be ex- pected. Handsome medals just provided by the Commission to be awarded to sherifix who protect their prisoners fora mobs were on exhibition for the first time, and a committee of nominent people is being created to awurd these med- als to sheriffs whe msrit them. Tt was agreed thar the crusade” a gainst lynching should be pushed in every way possilfe. ‘The pres: was highly commended for its at- titude on this subject and for its intelligent” and sympathetic coop- eration with the Commission's pro- gram in general, Brightest Spots | Among the beiggh‘esi . spots in the three-day’ ses:ivn was the hour devoted to student work. Four young college men and swomen told ‘of the open-minded study of race ‘relations that is being made by [many students in Southern col- leges, and of the courageous efforts ‘whieh these young people ire make ‘ing. to apply’ the ethies of Jesus in ‘their interracial attitudes ind con- ‘duct. ‘These efforts take the form ‘of vallege courses, voluntary study ‘groups. and interracial student. fo- ums and conferences. ‘Thousands ‘of the South's brightest students uve twing influrneed by this move- nent, ST Among the specific necds em- ‘phasized and commended for spec- fal effort during the coming year were these af better railroad trans. ‘portation, fuller Negro yepresen- ‘tation on public ‘welfare boards, fairer distribution of school funds. improvement of the environment of Negro children, better housing an sanitary onditions inthe Cities, the encouragement of home ‘ownership, and the effort to. pro- mote a fuller appreciation of Ne- mo achievement and history. | BELHAVEN Belhaven, N, C.—The jactor of the Free Will Church filles his pul- pit Sunday.

Owning Your Home Folks who some years ago bought house and settled down to live in them, made a exceedingly lucky stroke. A lot of the folks are now getting their living quarter at a rate far below what the average rent is paying. They might not be able to build a new house for less than double what the home cost them. The favorable result of a good investment in real estate should be considered by every family that is ambitious to acquire an independent position.

Haitians Said Not Opposed To A Race Minister Before he left the United States recently, Mr. Percival Thoby, former Haitian Charge d' Afaires at Washington, and now representative of the Patriotic Union of Haiti, which is opposed to the American Occupation, declared that the common belief that the Haitian people were opposed to the sending of an Afro-American Minister to Haiti was not the correct view, but that of the contrary such Minister would be welcomed by them. Perhaps. We are glad to have the assurance. It may be that the marsh treatment the Haitians have received at the hands of the government set up and dominated for them by General John R. Russell, the head of the American Occupation, may have changed their views about the Haitians may be ready to receive an Afro-American Minister, as Mr. Thohde declares, but the State Department at Washington does not appear the least disposed to send any such Minister to Haiti, or any other country. The trouble now appears to be in securing any representation in the foreign service, or holding on to the little bit we have, from the White House and the Secretary of State. The political present and future of the Afro-American citizen does not appear to be one of the most pleasant things to look at steadfastly and to bank on with an other than a gambler's expectations. The Amiable Plant Wizard Is Dead. Luther Burbank, withered but not sourced by age, died at Santa Rosa, California April 11. He died surrounded by the flowering blooms and fruits that he created for the benefit of mankind, at the age of 73. Beloved by his neighbors and rated as the world's greatest horticulturist. His nature was gentle and amiable, and he loved children, although he had none of his own, and children loved him. It is estimated that Mr. Burbank made 100,000 experiments with plant life, and he wrote many volumes and articles on his favorite theme. He was no novice, and his friends found it necessary to organize a sort of finance board to protect his interests. If this had not been done, may have died a very poor man. Mr. Burbank was what is styled an "injudel." He did not "accept the arbitrary man made creed and orthodox ideas of heath and hell." Among the last things he wrote was the following: "Do I ignore what generally called the spiritual nature of man? It is the Corona, the flower of life, the fruit of which is altruism, the desire to help ourselves and others to higher archetypes and actions—in other words, to a more perfect state of harmony and environment." It is worth while to say that in the death of Mr. Burbank, Prof. George W. Carver of Tuskegee Institute becomes at least the greatest of American horticulturists. Nor other American now living has accomplished more in the creation of new plants and developing new food products out of orchids.

Christian Cowardice It is admitted, openly or privately, by all sincere Christians of the times that the most dominating and persistent challenge fronting modern Christianity is to elaborate interracial differences and strife with an application of Balm of Gilead. I not too much to believe that upon this line and simple test, Christianity will broad and enrich the ages or fail and be denied. Any gathering of professed Christians that attempts to ignore or sidetrack is fact, simply fails to confront and grape with Christianity's momentous problem, at spite of these incontrovertible ver It is admitted, openly or privately, by all sincere Christians of the times that the most dominating and persistent challenge confronting modern Christianity is to ameliorate interracial differences and strife with an application of Balm of Gilead. It is not too much to believe that upon this lone and simple test, Christianity will spread and enrich the ages or fail and be denied. Any gathering of professed Christians that attempts to ignore or sidetrack this fact, simply fails to confront and grapple with Christianity's momentous problem. Yet, in spite of these incontrovertible verities, the great gathering of the Interdenominational Young People's Conference in Birmingham, Ala., last week pursued a most remarkable policy of Christian cowardice: The disservice rendered Christianity was so manifest that the Cause would have been better served had the conference never met. Dr. Will W. Alexander, Director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, himself an apostle of interracial good will and one who is an ardent exponent of the idea of applying Mt. Sinai's code to our interracial ills, must have had in mind the thought that if Christianity means anything, it must mean: "All Men Up And No Men Down," when he essayed to tell the Birmingham gathering of the unjust and un-Christian attitudes of which the American Negro is the victim, and to utter a plea for greater Christian tolerance for the brother in black. But did this gathering of supposed young Christian people react with burning enthusiasm to the challenge of this apostle of good will? Were they receptive of this bit of undefiled and frank Christianity handed them by Dr. Alexander? Mayhags some were, but not so with those who were heard, according to the reports. They showed that they were out of sympathy with his all-encompassing idea of Christianity and proceeded to evidence a most egregious manifestation of Christian cowardice as well as a flagrant violation of the amenities deserved by a guest of the occasion. They sought to heckle the speaker. They wanted to know: "Do you believe in the repeal of the Jim Crow laws?" "Do you think that educated Negroes are more hostile to whites than uneducated Negroes?" "Do you believe in segregation?" Dr. Alexander answered the first two questions in the affirmative. He declines to answer the third. It is just as well that he didn't, as it was plain that his inquisitors were not in a mood to accept such broad Christianity as his. He is a South American of questioned courage and sincerity since 1919 he has challenged Christianity in America to apply its test to interracial good will. He knew that several weeks ago when the leaders of the Birmingham conference were convoiced with a challenge standing unquivocally upon the Christian professed by them or capitulating to Christian cowardice then seeking to manifest itself in race prejudice, they followed the latter course by announcing that there would be racial discrimination in the seating arrangements in the auditorium in which the meeting was to be held. Dr. Alexander knew that while he spoke hundreds of your colored Christians were absent from the conference because their denominations were trained from participating in it when they would not lend endorsement to the idea of race prejudice and Christianity ever a consonant. His course was bold. That the conference was cowardly. Christianity to be true to its preceptor, must recognize no traditions or customs violative of the spirit of Him "who was no respecter persons." Dr. Alexander answered the first two questions in the affirmative. He declined to answer the third. It is just as well that he didn't, as it was plain that his inquisitors were not in a mood to accept such a broad Christianity as his. He is a Southwestern of unquestioned courage and sincerity. Since 1919 he has challenged Christianity in America to apply its test to interracial good will. He knew that several weeks ago, when the leaders of the Birmingham conference were confronted with a challenge of standing unequivocally upon the Christianity professed by them or capitulating to Christian cowardice then seeking to manifest itself in race prejudice, they followed the latter course by announcing that there would be racial discrimination in the seating arrangements in the auditorium in which the meeting was to be held. Dr. Alexander knew that while he spoke hundreds of young colored Christians were absent from the conference because their denominations refrained from participating in it when they could not lend endorsement to the idea that race prejudice and Christianity ever are consonant. His course was bold. That of the conference was cowardly. Christianity, to be true to its preceptor, must recognize no traditions or customs violative of the spirit of Him "who was no respecter of persons." Medicinal Value of Silence In a recent issue of the London Times an English physician complains of the nerve shocking strains of continuous and excessive noise in the world's metropolis and emphasizes the medicinal value, so to speak, of silence. His description of conditions London and their effect upon the humanyston might apply to any large city in the country. There seems to be some danger of our losing the faculty of rest, he declares, and yet "silence is becoming one of the most important of modern medicines." This explains why physicians find it essential in many cases to get their "run down patients away to places where at least a measure of silence can be obtained. One palliative for business man, he says, is the use of motor cars which enables the more quickly to get out of the din of the city, and makes it possible for them to live in the suburbs at least partially exempt from the noises which assail them during working hours. The English have always been known for their addiction to week-one. The custom is growing in the United States but we are so strenuous in our sports and measures that it is doubtful if we derive the same degree of benefit therefrom as our cousins across the sea. However, change of scene as well as of activities and noise we are told, are beneficial, even if they lay out a day or two. Perhaps it would be better for all of us, instead of crowding the traditional two weeks' vacation with continuous and unusual exertions, we took our rests and silences in homeopathic doses.

What Is A Partisan. Anyhow? Ask the average church member, "What is Christianity, anyhow?" and, unlike Paul before Agrippa, he would stand dumb before you. He has simply failed to read and familiarize himself with the creed of the domination to which he had given his consent and in which he is supposed to believe he has not inquired into Christian dogma nor has he analyzed Christian Faith, so ignorant of proper definition of his doctrine and the faith that is in him. Does the Ask the average church member, "What is Christianity, anyhow? and, unlike Paul before Agrippa, he would stand dumb before you. He has simply failed to read and familiarize himself with the creed of the domination to which he had given his consent and in which he is supposed to believe. He has not inquired into Christian dogma, nor has he analyzed Christian Faith, so is ignorant of proper definition of his doctrine and the faith that is in him. Does that prevent him from being a good Christian? That depends. Paul says a Christian should always be able to give a reason for his faith. So it is with politics, either Republican on Democratic. The average person is utterly confused when asked, "What is a Democrat, anyhow?" In the South the reply would uniformly be, "To keep the nigger in his place, of course," but in the other three sections of the country this would not be the answer at all, but a medley of interests would make it up, all supposedly what the Republicans favor and the Democrats would oppose. It is the same with Republicans; they cannot tell you "What is a Republican, anyhow," although they can talk around the subject for hours at a time. It is interesting, therefore, to have a definition of "What is a Democrat, anyhow," defined for us by a committee composed of Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Senator Harrison of Mississippi, and Senator Edwards of New Jersey, all Democrats, or think they are. They acted as a committee for the Pathfinder Magazine, which made a poll, and got 3,000 definitions. The committee found the following to be the best answer: "A Democrat is one who believes in the fullest freedom of speech, press, and religion; and separation of church and state; laws that bear equally upon all classes, without special privilege or monopolistic advantage; rights of states guaranteed by the Constitution, and less national paternalism."

THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Marian Anderson Let others tell of her marvelous voice, her ever recurring musical triumphs, her ability to name her price for appearance in recital. It shall be mine to tell of her as a very charming and lovable human being. In Philadelphia, her home city, she is no heroic statue upon a pedestal.

This leads me to note that the money she makes is neither hoarded nor wasted. No servants, no car, no frills and finery in furnishings and clothes. Her money goes into providing an honest living, a cheerful and tastefully furnished home and a continual training for perfection in her art. One leaves her home with these impressions,—bestful fellowship, a grand piano, a plenty of good music, appropriate pictures, a group of happy people all in love with art and with each other. Another thing that impresses the common people favorably is Miss Anderson's modesty in dress. Though widely heralded is one of America's greatest contallors, she appears in recital in no extreme costumes such as compel her to protect herself from view with a fan when bowing to acknowledge an ovation. In this respect she is neither old fashioned nor ultra modern. Her dresses neither trail the floor nor invite immodest gazes. She is what the average person of Christian ideals would style a dentally dressed artist. Miss Anderson is a standing refutation of arguments for either the propriety or need of verging on the suggestive in dress for concert work. I would call attention also to her humility. There is nothing in Miss Anderson of that professional haucur that greets one with a stiff arm and a condescendingly cold book or accepts an audience's ovation with a stitched bow and an artificial smile. Her manner on the public platform is as unaffected as her behavior in the charmable circle of her friends and loved ones at home. And here indeed is she seen to advantage. Her two sisters are also gifted with the talent of song. At home with them, she is no prodigy and makes no demands to be created as such. First one sings and then the other while she plays the accompaniment. Finally, all three, along with musically inclined friends, will join in a trio, quartette or a chorus. All the while Miss Anderson is just one of the group, asserting no prominence, repressing no wounded pride, no chagging. Her girlishness, her lack of boastful pride in her accomplishments, her unaffected naturalness, her unmistakable sincerity, these things draw one to this young artist almost irresistibly. No wonder all Philadelphia still speaks of her, in the days of her childhood, as "Our own Marian." Let it be noted, finally, that she is a member of the church of Christ. Brought up in Sunday school, professing faith and being baptized when but a child, she has for years been a chair member and faithful worker in her church. She serves her church unpaid and sings at the funerals of her friends without change. In matter religious she is not mercenary. She is as she should be, a simple follower of her Lord. Just as many of us have always thought, genius can be simple in taste, hard-working, home-loving, modest and Christian.

Rogers, in The Messenger It is much harder to be a Negro South than North, and this applies to Negro editors. In the former place, where the forces of ignorance and oppression are at their worst, the Negro editor needs an especial amount of courage if he is to do many work. The Southern Negro editor, who speaks out, is sitting on a perpetual keg of gunpowder. The Northern editor has pie beside him, for here where Negroes are plentiful, the capitalists are out to trim them for all the traffic will bear. Take away the Negro and the system would collapse. The dog eaten by the fleas must not be made to get restive. And that is why an editor like P. B. Young of the Norfolk Journal and Guide deserves the most grateful thanks and support of every Negro and every lover of justice. The finest tribute paid him was the attack made on his paper by the bourons at the above-mentioned (Massenburg Bill) hearing in the Senate. * * * P. B. Young is a fighter and I am asking everyone to subscribe to his paper. BookChat MARY WHITE OVINGTON, Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "IN AUNT MAKALY'S CABIN" BY Paul Green. Published by Samuel French. Publisher, 25 West 41st Street, New York City. Price Fifty Cents. "In Aunt Mahaly's Cabin" is a gruesome, vivid picture of two Negro criminals escaping from justice and seeking refuge in the cabin of an old conjure woman. Each mistrusts the other, and still more they distrust the ghosts that they know must be about the place. Murder is committed and then the survivor begins to see supernatural things. As he turns one way, a black dog with terrible eyes confronts him. In another corner appears a little child with a long, yellow hair, dressed in white, and a third ghost is jack-o-lantern. "His body is hairy like a dog, he leaps like a grasshopper, and his face is terrible to look upon." Then comes "Raw-Head and Bloody-Bones" and "The Iron-Faced Man" who wears the uniform of a Yankee soldier. (It is interesting in this connection to note that a Yankee soldier, who once was the sign of protection and safety to the black man, is used as a bogey today.) Aunt Mahaly, the old witch, appears at the last with her goblins, and the criminal is frightened to death. It would be a most entertaining play to stage, with its queer lights and its uncanny creatures, but it would take a Gilpin to do the chief part. I have reviewed "In Aunt Mahaly's Cabin" partly to speak of this playwright, Paul Green, a white man of North Carolina, who has been for some time writing of the Negro. His play, "The No 'Count Boy'," which won first prize at the Belasco Little Theatre tournment last year, is perhaps his best piece of work. It depicts the dreamy, lovable country boy, who longs to see something beyond his every day life, and who finds a kindred spirit in a young colored girl he chances to meet. In contrast to the two is an up-and-coming, prosperous young colored farmer. The play was acted by the Houston, Texas, players and no colored people could have performed it with more sympathetic insight. French also publishes this play, though not in a volume by itself. A third play is "The Man Who Died at Four O'clock," a bright hit of comedy, also in one of French's volumes. North Carolina must be a very remarkable state, judging from the able writers who are today coming out of it. The direct cost of crime in the United States annually is estimated at $3,000,000,000. Saturday, April 24, 1926 THE PEOPLE'S FORUM WHERE EVERYBODY MAY BE HEARD I believe it was the editors of the Messenger, in one of their most radical moods, who referred to the college education of the Negro as "Hire Education." I at once appreciated the felicity of the fling, and responded, that in my view, the higher the education, the PETER H. greater should be the hire of the education. According to the socialists' point of view, the capitalists are seizing the control of the church and the school as a means of coercing public sentiment and of keeping it in the way it should go. They are wholly incapable of understanding or of appreciating disinterested philanthropy. The editors of the Messenger, I am forced to say, have deliberately forgotten to remember the wholly unselfish and altruistic beginning of Negro education, of which they were among the chief beneficiaries. --- Negro colleges and universities were the outgrowth of pure unadulterated philanthropy. There was no conceivable ulterior motive. There is no more creditable compliment to the American conscience at its best. The Negro could be of no conceivable advantage to the Northern missionaries who planted these philanthropic institutions nor to the generous donors who supplied the necessary wherewithal. My tongue shall never tire in telling of their altruistic deeds nor shall my pen waver in extolling their virtue and defending their fame. But this is not my present purpose in this release. I am concerned chiefly in this output, in pointing out the inevitable shift in the basis of support which is made necessary by changing circumstances. At first outside philanthropy, not only founded and maintained these schools and colleges, but also provided for the personal support of the students who attended them. Practically every college bred Negro of the first generation of college culture was the beneficiary of personal elemsynary aid. Such initial assistance was necessary on account of the general poverty of the race. Adequate scholarship was provided for every capable and ambitious pu Readers of the Journal and Guide are invited to express their views upon public questions in this column. Letters should be brief and to the point, not exceeding 250 words. The publishers do herein expressly dissuisibility for the views herein expressed. Are We Ever On Time? I wish through this column to call the attention of our people to a practice of theirs which serves to give outsiders and even home visitors among us a very bad impression of our way of doing things, and that practice is our tardiness in arriving at all public services or functions. It seems to me that a very few of our people have had any training whatever in punctuality. During the years I have attended numerous special exercises, such as mass meetings, lectures, recitals, etc., and invariably I have noticed that the majority of those who attend come into the house about an hour later than the time advertised for the program to begin. Even on occasions when city officials or other prominent and busy people have consented to spare a bit of time to address us, we permit them to get to the church and wait for an hour or more for their audience. It is certainly a most embarrassing situation to a busy and prominent speaker to slip away from business or forego other engagements to appear on our programs which are scheduled to begin at a certain hour, and then to come to the church and waste a whole hour waiting on us to put in an appearance. This certainly does not convince the speaker that we were in any way anxious to hear him. Only recently a very prominent artist appeared in recital and to the inconvenience of those who arrived early and were seated, a number of stragglers came in while the artist was in the midst of her performance, who, naturally enough, must have experienced some distraction. There were other prominent out-of-town visitors in the audience and a number of white people, all to witness how niggardly we colored people are here when it comes to doing a thing when it ought to be done. pil who presented himself. This wholesale system of benefaction had the inevitable effect of pauperizing the spirit of the Negro collegian. He began to look for such support as a duty of those fostering his education. The student who showed normal grasp upon the principles of knowledge was encouraged and assisted in making his way thru some Northern institution as a vindication of the higher qualities of mind which hitherto had been doubted or denied. For a long while, the Negro regarded it as the duty of Northern philanthropy to support his higher education. This beneficiary bias has not even now wholly departed from his mind. The Negro readily supports his own churches and religious foundations but relies upon the white race to support his higher institutions of learning. He is dependent for education, but self-sufficing for religion. But at best philanthropy is limited in its scope and short lived in its duration. It can be, in the very nature of the case, neither adequate nor enduring. Every firm and lasting scheme of education for any people must rest upon public support or upon the contributions of these who maintain it for their own sons and daughters. Anything else can be but a temporary and impermanent makeshift. It first, philanthropy undertook to cover the whole field from the elements to the upper stretches of knowledge. But it was soon found that the assumed front was too extended to be effectively maintained. The public schools took over the elementary phases of the task, but relied slothfully upon philanthropy to carry on the work in the secondary and higher levels. The Southern states are now more and more taking on their proper function of providing secondary education for the colored race, leaving to Northern philanthropy the field of higher education only. But even here several of the states are projecting Negro education of collegiate and university rank. State education is not a philanthropy, but the asserted and accepted duty of the state to unlighten all of its citizens. Here the Negro pays in full for whatever form or phase of education he receives. He contributes according to his ability as much as any other citizen to the maintenance and support of the state, and is entitled to derive therefrom equal advantages and facilities according his needs. should begin them on time, regardless of the size of the audience and thus set examples in promptness. As long as those who are going to attend know that the program will wait for a full house, they never bestir themselves about getting out early. This thing ought to stop somewhere, and actually it grows worse. Let us rise up and put an end to it. Norfolk, Va. CLINTON JONES Blame For Bad Citizenship Editor Journal and Guide: Your editorial of April 10th under the caption, "Who Are To Blame For Bad Citizenship?" is a question which a great number of people, public men included, seem to be unable to answer. The answer is not far to seek, for if we but open our eyes we cannot help but see who and what is to blame for bad citizenship and the crime wave which is swerving the country. The state is responsible for the general disregard of law and order. The state has the power to make good citizens or criminals out of men. The schools, colleges and universities throut the country are the citizen making institutions. The state, county and city prisons are the famous criminal factories of America, second to none in the world in their output of first class criminals. Man by punishing instead of teaching or trying to cure erring citizens, and criminals, is degenerating human kind. He is awakening that dormant part of his ego which made Nero carry punishment to the extreme without producing the results for which it was applied. Part of Christ's sermon on the mount was: "But I say unto you love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and narcissize you." Man needs to practice this doctrine of love and by so doing bad citizens would vanish and the brotherhood of man would begin. —JOHN W. WILLIAMS Norfolk, Va. The Negro college student today, not only pays his own personal expenses but in most cases also meets a tuition tax which goes a considerable way in defraying the general running expenses. So that the race is not only becoming more and more self supporting in a personal way, but is carrying an increasing share of the general overhead cost of the machinery of his higher education. As philanthropic contributions decrease, his must increase. Denominal national proselytism has constituted one of the great motives of Northorn philanthropy. Every great denomination was anxious to extend the boundaries of its influence, as well as to exemplify the missionary potential of its peculiar dispensation by invading this new and inviting territory. The Methodists, Baptists, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, and the rest planted chains of schools and colleges as agencies of gaining black reinforcement for the kingdom of heaven by way of their peculiar denominational persuasion This is still a strong surviving motive. The Negro religious denominations have established their own schools and colleges, wholly maintained, manned and supported by their own contributions. Wilberforce University Livingstone College, the Virgin in Theological Seminary and College are samples of school of this type. In a peculiar sense they deserve the recognition of generous philanthropy. For after all the only help that is worth while is the temporary help which leads to permanent self-help. As the case stands today, the Negro is supporting his own public education as a tax payer or as an indirect contributor to the public weal. He is supporting a chain of denominational schools and colleges founded and fostered for the enlargement of the religious estate. In the third place the race in increase in amount, is contributing to the support of its own education in private philanthropic schools hitherto maintained wholly by charitable contributions. It might be said that the largest Negro university has been abut wholly supported by the Negro. During the past forty years, Howard University has been supported almost wholly by congressional appropriations and tuition from the student body. The money appropriated by the government by every law or right and equity is fairly to be construed as Negro money located to Negro education in this national institution. It is deeply to be regretted that in the past there has been such feeble response to the philanthropic appeal which this university has made, and it is to be hoped that the future response will be more liberal. General philanthropy has probably not contributed ten per cent towards its establishment and general support from the foundation till now. The Negro race is not able according to its present scheme of expenditure of supporting its own higher educational institutions. Although he can and should greatly increase his contributions in this direction. If there were half of the concentrated purpose to support the universities and colleges which the race evinces for the maintenance of its churches and religious enterprises the results would be equally encouraging. Educational philanthropy today has taken a different turn from that which it exhibited immediately after the war. There is less emotion and more deliberate purpose. The great foundations and muniple individual donors have in mind the welfare of the public at large. That Negro is not singled out as a special object of benefaction as formerly, but he is considered as an essential part of the general public. Negro schools and colleges will receive bestowals, in proportion as they can show that they can utilize such grants to promote the well being of the people at large through benefiting the most needy portion of that public. Furthermore, general philanthropy will be greatly encouraged to help these Negro higher institutions in proportion as they show a disposition to help themselves. to help them serve. The Negro must more and more depend upon himself. He may not now be able to set up independent educational housekeeping for himself, but he must move as rapidly as possible in that direction. In the mean time, he can surely rely sensibly upon a generous philanthropy with the assurance that, "so long thy power has helped me, sure it will will lead me on." it still will lead me to But all this is in behalf of higher education, not the hie education as the Messenger soft fingly describes it;
