The Filipinos are able of governing their own affairs and of administering a government worthy to take its place. I did filibuster this bill to limit to defeat it."

TRIAL IN BRUTAL RAPE CASE SET FOR WEDNESDAY TRIAL IN BRUTAL RAPE CASE SET FOR WEDNESDAY Deck Hill Will Face A Jury In Corporation Court No. 1, For Alleged Attack On Mrs. Mittie Brothers. The case of Deck Hill, of 907 Princess Anne road, who was indicted by the June Gunner Jury on a charge of committing rage upon Mrs. Mittie Brothers, of the same address, in whose home he was a roomer, is set for trial on Wednesday of next week. This and the murder case also set trial next week, Friday, will be the most sensational and serious criminal cases heard in Corporation Court here in several months, both of which, on conviction, carry a maximum penalty of death. Tyms will be tried for murder in connection with the death of his wife. Hill's Case For sheer brutality and beastliness the case of Deck Hill probably has no parallel in this community, if the story as told by his alleged victim and her husband, Charlie Brothers, is true. According to their story as obtained by the police and as told to a Journal and Guide reporter by both Mr. and Mrs. Brothers, on the morning of June 2nd, Deck Hill, who had been rooming in their home for about two months, left the house in company with the woman's husband for work some minutes before 7 a.m., as was their custom, they having known each other virtually all of their lives and being natives of the same place: When the men had been gone about a minute, Mrs. Hill looked out of the front window of her bedroom on Princess Anne road to catch a street and into a grocery store, she said. Of course, she thought nothing of this, as she knew it was his custom, go into the store to purchase stockings. Leaving the house she sat on the side of her bed and on the stockings, she stated. While doing this she heard the door open which leads from the outter to her apartment. A second later, she heard the door of Hill's room open and before she could gather her wits, the door to her own room slowly opened. Hill walked in, Mrs. Brothers said, bolting the door behind him. He stood and looked down on her for a second while she sat on the bed and with a fendish smile said, "d—— it, I said I would get you." With this remark, he landed a terrific blow straight to her right ove knocking her sprawling across the bed. Another blow to her side followed, she stated, and then the man roughly demanded that she keep quiet and submit to his friend, design. Bleached With Assailant Fleamed with Mrs. Brothers said, although half dazed, she realized her danger and pleaded with the man not to take advantage of her. His answer to her plea was a rapid fire of fist blows to her lower (Continued on Page Three). JAMESA.COBB IS UPHELD BY SENATE VOTE Borno Is Greeted By Nation's Chief With Fitting Pomp 14 STATES IN SOUTH TO GET SCHOOL FUNDS Motion To Reconsider Confirmation of New Judge Falls By Two To One Vote In Executive Session. STRONG OPPOSITION FAILS TO DEVELOP (Special to the Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., June 16—The Senate last Thursday refused to reconsider its action in confirming the nomination of James A. Cobb to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia to succeed the late Judge Robert H. Terrell. The vote against reconsideration was approximately 2 to 1. Immediately upon the failure of the motion to reconsider, Senator Charles S. Dencen, Republican of Illinois, it is understood, moved that the President be advised immediately of the action of the Senate in order that he might sign a commission for Mr. Cobb. Executive Eession Vote on the motion to reconsider was had in executive session. By an unanimous consent agreement at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon the Senate began consideration of the motion of Senator Pat Harrison that it reconsider its action in confirming Mr. Cobb. The session lasted but 1 hour and 25 minutes. Senator Harrison spoke in support of his motion. He is said to have based his opposition largely on the fact that Mr. Cobb was an attorney for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, contending that attorneys for radical organizations should not be appointed to judicial positions. Senator Deneen spoke against reconsideration, it is said. The mildness of the Harrison speech is attributed to Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi, who is said to have appealed to Senator Harrison not to oppose the confirmation of Mr. Cobb. James A. Cobb was nominated on February 15, last, by President Coolidge to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. The Senate confirmed him on March 17. Senator Harrison moved a reconsideration on March 17, and the White House returned the nomination to the Senate for further action on March 22. Tire Of Living The Life They Lived,TrySuicide Tire Of Living The Life They Lived,TrySuicide Growing weary of the life they were living, and evidently feeling hopelessly beyond reform, two of uptown's notorious characters, Capidola Reed, 662 Fox Lane, and Josephine Pippen, of Lincoln street, tried suicide last week as the best way out. The Pipen woman made a complete job of her attempt, while Capidola, who is better known as "Sam Monk" did herself only slight harm. At 8:15 o'clock on the night of June 10, Josephine was found lying in the rear of 727 Lincoln street in mortal angel of carbom acid the effects of a dose of carbom acid she had. She was rushed to Vincent's Hospital, where she died about an hour later. The only motive the woman assigned for her rash act was that she was tired of living. On the night of June 9, at 9:35 o'clock, Capidola Reed took a dose of C. and N. disinfectant in her inbox in Fox Lane. She too, was hurried to St. Vincent's Hospital where her life was saved. Capidola admitted, police say, that she took the concoction with the hope of ending her life because she was tired of living. Capidola's life has been a rough one. She has had many an encounter with the law in her days, sometimes winning and sometimes losing, but the doctors say that if "Sam Monk" takes another such chance with nature's law as she took last week she will lose forever, NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY JUNE 19, 1926 National Airs From Army Band Blare Forth In Martial Strain As Haitian Party Pulls Into Union Station. JUSTICE TAKES A TUMBLE IN RICHMOND COURTS BY LOUIS R. LAUTIER Washington, D. C. June 16—Louis Borno, president of Haiti, and his party arrived here Monday afternoon. He was officially welcomed by the Secretary of State, Frank B. Kellogg, and other high government officials, and, unofficially, by more than 100 "Red Caps," who met the train on which the Haitian presidential party arrived. Make Way For The Party The eastern end of the concourse at the Union station was roped off from the train gate to the President's waiting room. Along this stretch several hundred persons gathered to catch a glimpse of the Haitian president as he passed between two files of marines in dress uniform, standing at attention. As the Haitian president with Secretary of State Kellogg walking beside him passed through the concourse, there was no outburst of applause. He was viewed in silence in marked contrast to the noise and the jeering which greeted him upon his arrival in New York city. Greeted By Coolidge A few minutes after his arrival, President Coolidge received him officially at the White House. Mme. Borno was received in the executive mansion by Mrs. Coolidge. The President and Mrs. Coolidge returned the call at the Haitian gated at 6:30 o'clock. Whatever was lacking in enthusiasm in the unofficial welcome to President Borno was made up to official ceremonies. As he stepped from his train, he raised his hat in salute and bowed slightly. Assistant Secretary of State J. Barker Wright, who was the Haitian presidential party here, presented the other United States officials who were waiting to greet him. Introductions were in French. President Borno does not speak English. With Secretary Kellogg and Mr. Wright escorting President Borno, the party started for the street. National Airs Played National Air Force. When he reached the outside of the station, he was greeted with a verse of the national anthem of Haiti and another of the Star Spangled Banner, played by the band. The party posed for photographs. They then entered automobiles which took them to the Mayflower, the capital's most palatial hotel, where the Haitian party occupied the state and adjoining suites. An escort of cavalry accompanied the party to their hotel. White Woman Gets Sentence Suspended A suspended sentence of two years in jail was given Mrs. Annie Schneider, Stop 17 11-2 Westhampton, on two charges of shoplifting, when her case was heard in Police Court before Justice Jno. Ingram yesterday morning. Mrs. Schneider, when arrested in April, was alleged by the police to have in her possession merchandise valued at more than $15,000, which she was charged with taking from local stores. A few weeks later, a search of another house adjoining her residence, revealed other merchandise of great value.—Richmond, Va. News-Leader, June 9, 1926. At the Mayflower, President Borno and members of his escort stood in the hotel doorway awaiting arrival of the White House automobiles. Two women members were given to their quarters. There is no mistaking the racial identity of President Borno. He is of a bright copper color, save in bearing and dignified in appearance. He stands about 5 feet 10 inches in height and is of slim build. His hair is gray and the height of his round, sloping forehead has been increased by partial baldness. He wears gold-rimmed eye glasses which pinch his nose and to which a narrow black ribbon is attached. His mustache is close cropped. He wore a formal black coat, striped trousers and patent leather shoes. Mme. Borno Mme. Borno, by contrast to her slim, straight, husband, is short and atout, about to his shoulder in height. She was dressed in a black and white, small-checked coat trimmed with black cuffs and wide black edges, with a wide black tail of the same material. Beneath the coat she wore a long bouse, which fell below the waist, of the same material as the body of the coat and trimmed with a narrow black edging down the front with a black bolt. Her skirt was black. She wore a close-fitting black straw hat trimmed in black velvet and light-colored silk stockings and shoes to match. She carried a small bouquet on the left lapel of her coat. A medium-length string of pearls was about her neck. President Borno's part included Mme. Borno, Leon Cham, minister of foreign affairs of Haiti. Dr. W. W. Cumbreblain, American financial capital, Capt. Roch B. LaRoche, Lieut. Osmar Cham and J. J. Morgan. Minister and Mme. Hannial Price, who met them in New York accompanied them here. President and Mme. Borno were lunchen guests of President and Mrs. Coolidge Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Tuesday morning the visitors were received by Secretary Jardine at the Agricultural Department, where the Haitian president made an inspection of the department machinery. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon he made a visit to Ft. Myer. He also visited Arlington cemetery and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He and his party were escorted by high army officers and a squadron or cavalry from the fort. POLITICAL BATTLE A great Political Battle will be held at the First Baptist Church, Friday, June 28.

HIGH 127 GRADS GET DIPLOMAS FROM BOOKER T. HIGH Class, Discarding Somber Cap And Gown, Presenting A Beautiful Spectacle In Most Becoming Attire. One hundred and twenty-seven young men and women received diplomas of graduation from Booker T. Washington High School on Tuesday morning following the close of the commencement program which began at 10 o'clock in the auditorium of the school. It was the finest appearing graduating class that ever has come out of Booker T. The somber cap and gown was discarded for becoming black suits, white shirts, black bow ties and class colors for the young men and white dresses, large bouquets, white pumps and class colors for the young women. This attire for graduating was really attractive, the contrast between that worn by the male and female group presenting a most arresting spectacle. Began Sunday The commencement exercises actually began Sunday morning when Rev. R. H. Bowling preached the commencement sermon at the First Baptist Church. Monday night was Class Night, when the seniors rendered a highly entertaining program, every member of which was excellent. Miss Anna Rosalyn Palmer was salutatorian and Mr. Benjamin McCoy was valedictorian. At the societies Tuesday morning, Dr. Persavia O'Connell, of Morgan College, Baltimore, was the commencement speaker, while presentations of diplomas was made by Mr. C. W. Mason, division superintendent of Norfolk public schools. Dr. O'Connell's address was eloquent and pointed. He spoke very pleasingly and earnestly on the present hopeful outlook for the Negro and urged that the graduates play well their part in bringing on the full realization. Said he, "The southern white man has been asking to be soowed and soiled by problems. At last he is setting himself to the task in grand style. As a direct result, large and well-equipped high school buildings like this in which these exercises are being held are scattered now from Delaware to Texas. And this has come from the newer representatives of an old regime, which even when they provided us schools saw to it that the curricula were less than they appeared to be. Once they were determined just to live in the lands and lives that we now day. This same white south is extending itself to give our boys and girls the facilities (Continued on Page Five).

ALL NEWS THAT'S WORTH READING PRICE 7 CENTS GREGG WILL GET SUPPORT OF ALUMNI Pledges Support of The Newly Elected President of The Institution, With Hopes For Success of Administration. DESIRED HOWARD GRADUATE, HOWEVER (Washington, D. C., June 16—If Bishop John Andrew Gregg of the African Methodist Episcopal Church should accept the presidency of Howard University, to which he was elected by the board of trustees last week, his administration will have the support of the alumni. In an address at the annual meeting of the General Alumni Association, the Rev. George Frazier Miller, its president, admitting that the alumni had hoped for the election of a Howard University graduate, urged the alumni to support Bishop Gregg. "We have escaped some things we have very seriously desired to avoid," he declared. "Consequently, I am trusting that this gentleman will accept his election, for, if he does not, we will leave to a further and I am in dread of faring worse. I think we should give our heartiest support to the new administration of the university as represented by the incoming president and should do all that lies in our power to make that administration a success." Following these remarks by the Rev. Frazier Miller, the alumni adopted unanimously a resolution endorsing the selection of Bishop Gregg of Howard University. Prof. Kelly Miller, who was the first choice of the alumni for president of Howard, spoke in support of the resolution. "Howard University is now in a transition stage," he said, "and in a very critical condition. The trustees are all-powerful and, therefore, all wise and all good, and we must graciously submit to their power, wisdom and goodness. They have selected a president of Howard University. They have changed the color of the executive, and, if we may not have been caught in the selection yet, we can all easily feel calamity that would befall Howard University, if, under any circumstances, his administration should fail. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all of those who wish the university well, all of those who are loyal to its aims and ideals to do all within their power to see to it that the new administration shall be a success." Others who spoke plied allegiance to the newly elected president including Prof. George W. Cook and Prof. Wm. V. Tunnell. The Bishop's Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church will meet in Detroit, Michigan, June 24. If he is granted the church work, it is understood that Bishop Gregg will accept. There is, however, no precedent in this church of a bishop having resigned from the bishopric or having been granted a leave of absence to engage in secular work. 8-YEAR OLD BOY KILLED IN FALL Earl Baker, 8-year-old, living at the corner of Louisa and Appomattox street, fell from a swing on the Abraham Lincoln School playground, Berkley, about 2 p.m., Tuesday and sustained a fracture of the skull from which he died in St. Vincent's Hospital a half hour later. The boy, with 18-year-old Linwood Eason, was pumping very vigorously in a swing, when he lost his balance and fell through a gap in the ground. He was kicked up in an unconscious condition by W. H. Thomas, 136 Princeton avenue, who was passing in his automobile and was taken to the hospital. The boy did not regain consciousness. The boys went to the playground before the arrival of the supervisor and therefore were playing unsupervised. The coroner will conduct an inquest into the death to determine if the swing was faulty or whether the tragedy was the result of gross negligence on the part of the older boy.

Plakke Snow White 50¢ Amber 25¢ Ask for ST. JOSEPH'S FINALS PACK CITY ARMORY There is one event occurring there annually which attracts the one crowd that overflows Armory Hall, the largest auditorium in the city. That event is the commencement exercises of St. Joseph's High and Grammar School, the Catholic parochial school. On Friday night last the crowd witnessing these exercises was undoubtedly larger than ever, in spite of the fact that admissions are always paid. The hall which has a capacity of approximately 2000 persons seated and standing could scarcely have taken on another living soul Friday night. It was an enormous crowd, as crowds here. The program was a lengthy one, but not a person in the audience tired of it, not if that person enjoys real live, breezy and clean entertainment by young folks. The Catholic school closing exercises include every student in the school on the program, from the tiniest toys to the graduates. Friday night was no exception. The costumes, dress, attire, etc., worn by the children were varied and entrancingly becoming—appropriate precisely for the parts to be played. Proud parents looked on with elation as their budding sons and daughters played their parts with almost perfect ease, enlarging the finest sort of training. And the bands, they were there—the Senior Band, the Junior Band and the Girls' Band—a n d their music was all that could be desired. "The opening chorus, "Soldiers of the Past," was sung by the class. Then followed a selection by the Senior Bard; then came "June Fairies," by an array of little tots as cute as they could be and trained to the minute. Next was a chorus, "Water Lillies," by the Junior Class and then "Rainbow Song and Dance," by the intermediate class. From then on it was laughter, smiles, giggles and entertainment galore produced by a playlet, "Jerusha Dow's Family Album," with about 30 young men and women characters. It is sufficient to say that this was really a hit. Then there were the drills, intermediate class; chorus, "U. S. Marines," junior class; "In A Garden," senior class and a band ensemble. It was a commencement exercises galore, that's all. The following are the Grammar School graduates awarded diplomas: Jessie L. Johnson, Dorothy M. Worthem, Venita T. Johnson, Audrey T. Shepherd, Susie E. Adams, Hattie S. Howell, Bessie M. Fields Goldie L. Smith, Laura L. Avant, John A. Bailey, Roselia L. Hicks, Evelyn L. Hicks, Joseph A. Shaw, James V. Farren, Emmett S.

More blows to her sides was the answer, she asserts. Becoming desperately bent on accomplishing his purpose, the giant assailant, picked her up from the bed, she declares, stood her on her feet and led her into his own room.

The officer told him he was under arrest, and a second or two later six plain clothes man bounded up the steps with drawn revolvers. They immediately commanded Hill to dress and follow them. The man is being held in jail pending his trial Wednesday. The Brothers are said to be respectable people in the community. They both work and maintain a modest home.

Had Known Hill He told a Guide reporter that the only reason why he had allowed Hill to room in his home is because he had known Hill for a life time, and had always regarded the man almost as he would regard a brother. Sometimes ago, he said, Hill and his wife separated, and he (Brothers) took compassion on him when Hill approached him with a request to live in his (Brothers') home. He said that he can scarcely realize that a supposed friend would so fiendishly violate his home.

Certainly the man would have killed her, she believes, had she not so soothingly assured him that the matter would be kept a secret, or if he had found Mr. Brothers' razor. Mr. Brothers' states that he had used the razor to shave himself on that morning and failed to return it to its accustomed place. For that reason, Hill, was unable to find it. Mr. Brothers is also wondering what would have been his own fate had the man killed Mrs. Brothers in the absence of any witnesses, and had suspicion begun to point toward himself. J.

The Speedy Dean, a flashy light-weight from Chicago, knocked out Bobbie | McShee in six rounds and Wolfotc Langford, a Chicago light-heavy- weight, put Kid Hall, of Cleveland to sleep in the fifth round. Both of these bouts were fast and furiously fought. Dean anil MeShee, who fought the semi-fin- ‘al, displayed much science a nd while McShee proved himself to ‘be no novice in the game, he coul:] not weather the attack of the Chi- ‘eago fighter. Several times he was knocked: down and tock the evans of five: In the sixth round he kissed the cunvass avain and vemained there. In the final, between Langford and Hall, there was plenty of ac- tion and plenty of hitting, but Langford was:too much for Kid Hall and when'the crowd was filing out the club, the Cleveland battler was. still counting the stars and wondering what it'was all about. nine ye ee ‘Old Dominion | Begins Regular | Summer Sailings The Old Dominion Line's new palatial steamers, George Wash ington and Robert EB.

Following close on the heels of the regular release of the batting averages of players of the Negro National, League arrived many Queries from Tans of al] sections of the country who have been watehing the progress of the play- ers of the league for the hitting supremacy of the circuit. These queries largely concerned the com- parative strength of thy clubs of the colored leagues and those of the white leagues, the big leayucs, as they are coramonly ¢:signated. ‘To these queries there can be but one just answer, vizi ‘Time and Patience Negio organized baseball espec- inlly the Western and Eastern Leagues, is, from a purely me- chanical standpoint, on a par with that of the much older and wider known loop, the “big leagues,” or- ganized white baseball. Of courze, there ace many points where the whit«s are superior to the colored clubs, but this, however, does not uffect the summing up of the va- rivus points awarded to both cluis, while and black. When two good clubs of either of the colored leagues moct, one can and does wit- ness a game filled with as grent or even greater baseball prowess than can be furnished by any two big league clubs under the same conditions, The weak link, how- ever, in Negro baseball lies in the inability of colored club owners to seeurs and finarce ball clubs of sufficient strength to pull out tke good player and develop them into finished products. For example, 2 colorcd club entering either Tengue is usually handicapped. by a seareiy of seasoned players who can go ahead immediately and make a, showing. ‘These players must be kept and developed—ut they do not patronize the games played by the weaker clubs suf. ficiently to support the clubs and make it possible for them to cou linus operation and develop the players.

Contizued warm weather will be sure to warm up business con- ditions. For what is so rare as a day in Sune? ‘The general business outlook is yet somewhat unsettled. In. this Scclion, crops are from two weeks to a month behind—a circumstance that is certainly retarding sales. Money conditions remain about sho same—the demand for Virzinia Beach financing making it just a trifle more difficult to secure loans now than six months ago. Postal receipts are still climbing; a gain of over $8,000 was recorded in the month of May over the revenue re- ceived during May 1925. The contracting and building field has taken on new impetus— many fine homes for Negroes ave going up in all parts of the city. Nine Everyday Business Errors To Avoid 1, Neglecting to get receipts when bills are paid in cash, 2. Neglecting to keep receipts where they can be easily located. 3. Neglecting to cheek up items in current bills. 4. Neglecting to keep cheek hook balanced. 5. Too easy starting a charge account. 6. Carelessness in handling val- uable business papers. 7. Signing documents without thoroughly understanding their contents, 8 Tendency to establish living expenses beyound your income— keeping up with the Joneses and | Boneses. “9. ‘Tendeney to invest money in ee schemes. Where the Money Goes Negroes in Norfolk are to be congratulated for leading the slate in owning homes; and yet they have not started to do what they might do in home owning. Tt is estimated that there are some 60,000 Negroes in this city— these form about 8,000 households; yet there are only a little more than 1,000 Negroes who own their homes here, Such a small per- centage is not a pleasant fact te consider, when one takes into con- sideration the fact that over 4,000 families pay an average rental of $20 per month. Where does the money go? Sta tistics prove that the average fam. ily spends in the course of a yea for furniture $15, while $86.60 is spent for TOBACCO. Theate: tickets, club dues and the like cos! the average family $32.85 2 year We must have our soft drinks ir all scasons and for this privilege we spend $14.37.

Did it ever occur to you that your evening beauty should be just as important as your day-time beauty? That it is startling indeed to your friends and acquaintances, to behold a marked change in your appearance between the two periods of the day? A woman should be charming at all times, and especially enchanting, when the evening is on; this is the time given for recreation and enjoyment; a time when most of the work-day or business women play, therefore every care should be taken to place all of her charms into fine setting, to im- USE BRINGS RANGE IN SKIN IS NAOMI BEST blotches and tan marks vanish, pimples clear up, the skin becomes clearer and lighter and the excessive oil which causes "shine" dis- appears.

R-I, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Worried: Norfolk Journal and Guide press those with whom we contact, so that they will feel your enchantment. Do you remember the evenings we did not look our best? How we have wished to live them over again, so as to rectify or displace the poorly made up face, badly arranged hair, inappropriate gown, with that preparation of care and taste we so well have learned to use to our own advantage. Do not permit the tired look of the day to remain in your eyes and on your skin, rather start earlier to prepare your toilet, so that you can cream your skin, removing every trace of makeup, and dirt of the day, then apply two hot towels, cover the face with either a pack, or a good tissue builder, lie on the bed, completely relaxed for ten minutes, remove the application, and for five minutes bathe the face with cold water. Note the change, your eyes are sparkling, the blood is coursing rapidly through your veins, there is freshness of youth on your skin, and it is all ready for the make-up, that you must carefully put on, so that it will only embellish the natural appearance, rather than to cover it, which often makes women ridiculous. Obviously the vague for short hair, has settled down for a nice lon gstay. Added hair, especially transformations are achieving much importance in the toilet, but the shingle and the bob predinate in the smart circles. The mannish hair cuts are fast growing into disfavor, and we are very happy for it, there is nothing to be preferred, over the womanly woman, herein lies on charm, shame, and in advance when she is preparing for a change in style, then settles down to the sensible modish, correct thing. Therefore the mannish hair-cut is short lived. Hair-cut is now an arrangement, or hairdress, therefore we are cutting accordingly to the shape of head, curve of neck, and poise of head, getting beautiful results. SOCIAL WORK SOCIAL WORK Iy Miss Grace S. Lewndes, Chairman Dept. of Social Work and Corrections, National Association of Colored Women. Only a few months of this sort of thing is sufficient to wreck the family. Then come the complaints in the neighborhood of small crimes, always blamed on the children whose mother works away from home. There is obedience at home, truancy, and, perhaps, Juvenile Court. There is a girl not doing so well in school; shows lack of interest, lack of concentration. School visitor and teacher discover girl about to become a mother with scant possibility of the protection of marriage. Now there must be pre-natal care and hospital service for the girl; support and medical attention for the child, which, in many cases, has been injured during the first frantic days, after discovery, in the effort to get rid of the unwelcomed child, and which may be maimed, or an ambecile and perhans diseased. Husband Losses Interest in Home Poor tired mother is worn down and heartbroken too, when husband no longer comes to dinner; sometimes stays out all night, and his contributions toward the support of the family grows less and less—because MOTHER'S earnings lessen his responsibility. White Employer Sympathetic The white family by whom Mother is employed think she is a fine woman, are full of sympathy for her and help her ever there is need. They follow her to the courts; use their influence with the hospitals and institutions; help her to secure proper legal and all the time they wondering why she has so much trouble with her family when the children of the white family are all in school and high school—and have given no trouble. Economic Condition Source of In the discussions—church—school — community — employer ALL, fail to place the responsibility PROPERLY on the economic situation which has forced the Negro Mother to leave her children and go to school time when they offered her most. And our families have lost most of their families before THEY "Wake Up" to the situation. Naomi.

High Taxes Bring High Living Costs The state, the county, the city, must now levy and collect taxes sufficient to cover the cost of the corrective influences which are necessary to meet all these needs, so that we find our living expenses soaring to unbelievable heights making the "Working Mother" more and more necessary and we wonder where it will all end. If the family and its relations are "the setting for the drama of life," who is to attend to the scene possibilities? If the health, the recreation, and character building of that product of the family—our future citizens—if our mothers are forced to consider other things of equal importance, where will the race end?

White, retiring pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church, will deliver a special message to his congregation and the city of Norfolk, this coming Sunday, June 20th at the 11 o'clock hour. At a recent meeting of the congregation, a unanimous call was extended the Rev. B. N. Evans of Chase City, Va., and in accordance with the wish of the congregation with the Mission Board has appointed him to succeed Rev. D. F. White in the pastorat: here. It is not known yet whether the Rev. Mr. Evans will accept. Mr. Evans is a graduate of Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn., and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Pittsburgh, Pa. In both of these institutions he distinguished himself as student, and in the Seminary took honors for his ability as a scholar and preacher. He has large gifts as a leader and very fine personality. Norfolk will find in him a worthy successor to the Rev. Mr. White, should he accept the bishop of the First United Presbyterian Church, if equipment means anything. This closing month of a pastorate that has been conducted with great earnestness and vigor for the past ten years is typical of these years of intense service, both to his church and the city at large. The month has been marked by unusual activity. Memorial Day was observed in a fitting and beautiful way. Then, came the annual meeting and banquet of the former Norfolk Mission College Alumni Association. Then, the church celebrated impressively the Lord's Supper after a week of evangelical meetings. 'On the heels of which came the closing exercises of the kindergarten school, which is now established and necessary institution in the community. These excercises were the best in the history of the school. At the closing of the program, the school and two tots, Mary E. Beckett and Annie Hughes presented Rev. Mr. White tokens of affection. Last Sunday Children's Day was observed. The church was beautifully decorated, the program simple, but very impressive. PETER B. and Mrs. Frank S.

Congress, which meets at Concord from June 22 to 27, inclusive, has turned the last leaf in the program of arrangements for taking care of the thousands of delegates and visitors to the congress. I. K. Lincoln Powell, chief chef with a large number of assistants led by Mrs. L. A. Henderson, says: "We are ready for the congress, no one need go hungry. We will be on duty at Concord, headquarters of the congres daily from noon to five p.m." The national and local chorus of 250 trained voices will entertain the assemblage at each session held in the Rink on Charmont avenue, near Myrle, with inspiring songs.

The chorus will be led by Mr. Alexander Gatewood, bachelor of music from Kansas. There will be delegations from the various secret and benevolent organizations of the city present to welcome the delegates. The chorus will be supported by two large orchestras. LONGSHOREMEN'S BIBLE CLASS TO LOSE FOUNDER Four years ago the Rev. D. F. White, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church of this city, organized the Longshoremen's Bible School in their fine building at the corner of Wide Street and Princess Anne Road. The school was organized, Rev. White claimed that he was made by the Holy Spirit to do so. And the success which has attended the work of the school seems to bear out his claim. From small beginnings the school has grown in numbers and power, until now its roll shows more than one hundred and fifty men as actively identified with the school, the most pronounced Union being in the membership. The influence of the school is felt throughout the Union. Many conversions have occurred right in the school during the teaching of the lesson. Men have been reconciled to their wives, others living out of wedlock have been moved to marry their companions in sin, the cold and lukewarm have been reclaimed to the church, Sunday school teachers have been constantly coached for classes on Sunday, and all kinds of freely and effectively given, health talks have calightened many on living. Men have been moved to buy homes, and lead more prosperous lives through the teachings given by Rev. White as he has met his classes from Wednesday to Wednesday. --- --- PREACHING ON FAMOUS TRAITORS "The Man Whose Tears Facilitated Murder", will be the subject of a special sermon by Rev. Richard H. Bowling at the First Church this Sunday night. This will be the subject of a book on Famous Traitors of the Bible. His first message was delivered last Sunday night from the subject, "The Woman Who Served Deceitful Food." This was based on the story of Jaal who murdered Sisera while he slept, he first having been won into her power thru her deceitful hospitality. Said the speaker, "At the bottom of all her lying and deceit was the desire for solitary advantage. Her only purpose was to win the favor of the conquerors. And she wins favor for herself at the expense of a weary, fugitive, heaten, deceived man. Selfishness is at the bottom of most women's treachery. One woman will fool a man with a blandishness and lies into marriage, because she wants him as a husband against his will. Another woman plays traitor to a man for the mere notoriety of having her name linked with that of a prominent man. There is still another woman who will slander a woman rival to prevent her winning the one man they both desire. On Wednesday morning, June 9, Rev. Mr. White tendered his resignation as teacher incident to his leaving Norfolk to take up pastoral labor in the city of Indianapolis, Ind. He then proceeded to organize the school on permanent basis, so that the work might continue without any break. The following officers were elected: Messrs. C. Struck, president; C. W. Benson, vice president; D. Little, secretary; C. Fields, assistant secretary; Revs. J. T. Johnson, teacher, and S. M. Lomas and A. Loughton, assistant teachers. NO in use.

PLYMOUTH court fell upon the Bennettts. The letter goes at length into the alleged cause for the teacher whipping the child, and concludes with the statement that the patrons of Jackson are desirous of having Miss Overton to return there to teach next fall. If the person, whose name is known, that sent the article to this news paper stating that the teacher was lined, and knew it to be untrue, that person has violated a law of the United States and has subjected herself to prosecution. Although the letter received from Jackson this week alleges the reasons why the child was whipped, these are not published out of interest, and the child, which is, of course, showing more consideration for it than did the person who seated in an untrue report of the incident, providing the report was known to be untrue. The Journal and Guide gladly publishes a correction for the benefit of Miss Overton and the people of Jackson. CITIES $5000 RAISED AT CLAFLIN FINALS Smithfield, N. C.

CHURCH On last Sunday the attendance in Sunday school was very good and an interesting program was presented by the children of the primary department in observance of Children's Day. The following persons will represent the Sunday school at the District Conference: Rev. L. L. Berry, the pastor; Lt. J. M. Collins, Sunday school superintendent; Charles S. Ferebee, Benjamin Etheridge; the Misses B. E. Clayton, A. G. Harrison, M. L. Ferebee and M. L. Jones. At the Sunday morning service at Bank Street Church, Rev. Dr. Joan R. Custis, of Portsmouth, N.H., formerly of Norfolk, preached an instructive and interesting sermon on "The Providence of God," Enkelie 1:10. Dr. Custis' treatment of the subject was practical and of the kind that gave encouragement to the large majority of these present. Throughout the sermon, God's providence as seen through all the great happenings of the world affecting the destiny of the individual man and nations, took on new meaning. During his pastorate for more than a year in the city of Portsmouth, N.H., Dr. Custis has met with marked success in the new field of his chosen treasurer. He has been signally honored by being selected as secretary of the Ministers' Conference that City. His many friends welcomed him cordially on the occasion of his recent visit to his home city. At 11:30 o'clock the pastor, Rev. Dr. L. L. Berry, was greeted by a large and avid congregation to hear the morning message, which was drawn from Jonah 3:1, 2, subject: "God's Call and Man's Answer." From this subject the pastor discussed God's call to Jonah and Jonah's answer. In this connection it was explained that man's answer to the call of God is not necessarily or never audible but reflected in a life of service. Nobody saw Paul's vision save Paul, said Dr. Berry, and none heard Paul's call but Paul, but his life of service stood as evidence that there had been a call and an answer. Dr. Berry urged the people, particularly the young, to give their lives over to God declaring that each person is expected to serve his day and generation according to his ability. In the evening the congregation was favored with another brilliant and eloquent sermon by Rev G.W. Watkins, pastor of the Bank Street Church, who spoke on the subject, "The Godly Man." The sermon was in every way a picturequease presentation of what God has in store for the Godly man. Rev Watkins spoke disprovingly of those who lead fast lives, declining to take time to think, and whose God-given years are wasted in thoughtless, frivolous living. Rev Watkins will assume the duties as regular pastor of Bank St. Church, July 1st. The activities and general spirit of the church is very encouraging, new life among the membership being very much murked. The congregation is well organized for a debt-reducing campaign in which the entire membership is showing a willingness to do its best coupled with a fine spirit of co-operation with the pastor and officials of the church. Rev. R. H. Walker At St. John Sunday Night TWO WEEKS OF SPECIAL SERVICES AT WESLEYUNION TWO WEEKS OF SPECIAL SERVICES AT WESLEYUNION Sunday night, June 20, Rev. R. II.

Beginning on Tuesday evening, June 22, Wesley Union A. M. E. Zion Church will observe what is regarded by the pastor, Rev. W. I. Rowan, and officials as a dual anniversary commemorating the nineteen years spent in Zion Methodism by the church and one year by the present pastor. Following an interesting Sunday school, the Rev. W. A. Howell conducted both morning and night services in a very instructive and inspiring manner. Next Sunday the services at this church promise to be of unusual interest because the Rev. L. T. Watson, who was recently called to the pastorate here, will preach his introductory sermon. An effort will be made by the managing committee to have not only some of the former pastors to spend one service there, but some disfigured ministers from other cities are exposed.

If men can be benefited by sleeping in the woods so can women. There services promise to be very helpful and profitable, and it is hoped that every member and friend will do what they can and all they can to bring about success. The committee consists of William M. Brown, B. F. Walker, M. S. Giddings, B. F. Stars. ST. PAUL C. M. E. CHURCH The Sunday school of this church was at its best on last Sunday. At 11:30 the pastor, Rev. J. D. Crisp, preached a strong sermon from Matthew 27:3-4, "After the Sale of Jesus." He preached again at night. All who heard these sermons admitted receiving special benefit from them. The Another Famous Traitor "The Man Whose Tears Facilitated Murder" SPECIAL SERMON AT 8 O'CLOCK FIRST BAPTIST REV. RICHARD H.

A previous installment of this story related many incidents of the early life of Madame Mamie Hightower. It painted a vivid picture of her childhood, her maidenhood with its attendant social gaieties. It gave a keen insight into her character and revealed those admirable attributes that have been admired the world over. How Mamie transformed the ugly duckling, Selma, into a beautiful, buoyant type of young womanhood and made her the envied of her social set is a tale of unselfish friendship that will linger long with those who read it. Selma was the inspiration that She Made It for Selma, Her Girlhood Chum The last installment told you how Madame Hightower first came to make her ointment for her friend Selma. Selma was her chum whose beauty was marred by an unsightly complexion. Madame Hightower's sympathetic nature and love for her chum caused her to create her first product that resulted in present famous line of Golden Brown Beauty preparations. gave our Group that which was eventually to be known as Madame Mamie Hightower's Golden Brown Beauty Ointment. The wonders that Mamie's "mixture" had worked with Selma's complexion was soon known to all who composed their friendly group and cre long influence was brought to bear upon Mamie to try her hand in business. Several of the fathers of her friends carnely besought Mamie to open a shop and capitalize on her unusual ability. But Mamie turned a dead ear to all such entreaties, at least for the present. However, she continued her tireless studies in chemistry and was gradually developing a knowledge that was to serve her in good stead through the years.

When Handy Returned to Memphis! A mammoth gathering of both races greeted Handy's return to his old home town. The popular old Lyric Theatre on Madison Ave. was packed to capacity as the "King of Jazz" and his organization of talented musicians broke forth into the familiar strains of the "Memphis Blues," one of Handy's best loved compositions. Loud applause greeted this and all subsequent numbers and the Memphis that first knew Handy as a struggling young cornetist was only too glad to pay homage to its native son who had won the praise of the Great White Way. larity that Mamie, quite bashfully, was led to the alter by the highly esteemed and industrious Zack Hightower. The wedding was quite an event because the popularity of the principals was widespread. Handsome gifts were showered upon the happy couple because many were the grateful hearts that harbored only the kindest of thoughts for Mamie and her husband. After the honeymoon the couple returned to Memphis to find happiness in a cozy planned little home which was off to the scene of many cleverly planned and highly entertaining parties.

It is not fitting that I paint a halo about their heads and characterize their domestic life as being "one long uninterrupted dream of bliss and contentment." At best they were human. They may have had little pet quarrels. Most couples do. But I am sincerely truthful when I say that both Manie and her adoring husband were exceedingly fortunate in that they thoroughly understood one another and were sympathetic with their respective hopes and ideals. As Madame Hightower told me herself and certainly she is the one to judge: "Zack has always been a faithful, loving husband. He has been kind and considerate. He has helped me in my work. I am exceedingly grateful that fortune chose such a man for me." What greater tribute need come from lips. What a volume these few words speak. Any husband may be justly proud of such words prompted by the affection of a loving wife. Manie was truly "queen of all she surveyed." A happy home . . . good husband . . . family . . . friends . . . all those things that go to make life worth living . . . Manie was rich indeed. And yet with it there was an inexplicable something lurking within the depths of Manie's great heart. It seemed to her that she heard some faraway voice calling. The Still Small Voice That Called to Mamie One evening as the happy couple sat quietly together Mamie mentioned the matter to Zack and he seriously listened to her as she endeavored to explain the mysterious urge. After considerable thought upon the subject Zack conceived the idea that the faraway voice that Mamie seemed to hear was the voice of Our Group calling her to her rightful position and place. The aftermath of this conversation was that Zack persuaded Mamie that she must continue her developments in chemistry and that she must spread the benefits of her beauty blessings over a large field. Zack's ardor in the matter and his sincerity of purpose impressed Mamie to a marked degree and 'twas well long after midnight when Mamie finally made her decision to broaden the scope of her activities and devote considerable time to the creation of various beauty aids that would fill an urgent need of Our Group.

Harsh, unruly, kinky hair caused considerable vexation to many and Mamie with ever a consideration for the welfare of her Group, excelled even her fondest dreams, by perfecting a Hair Dressing that made possible a newera of hair loveliness. This hair dressing was one of the foundation stones upon which a thriving business was built. Hundreds came from milks around to share in this great blessing.

Groundless Fears Occasionally there is heard the hysterical question “what will the world do when the coal supply is exhausted” and some answer calmly, ‘science will discover a substitute,” ‘or something to that effect. Both question and answer provide food for thought, but there is much more mental pabulum. and more readily digestible in the report of the geological survey that in the United States alone there are 3,854,000,000,000 tons of coal unmined and an equal amount in the rest of the world, Surely this report leaves no food for worry for this and several succeeding generations. The United States began mining coal in 4814 with a production that year of twenty tons. The production in 110 years since 1914 was an aggregate of 14,000,000,000 tons. ‘With 99 per cent of its original deter- ‘mined coal supply still in the ground, the people of the United States need feel no anx- jety over its future fuel, especially since the ‘United States is producing one-half the world’s output of the black diamonds. 2 What a Great City Consumes in Food Stuffs How much foodstuffs of ull sorts it takes to feed the people of Norfolk, say, few people stop to consider, but the total is enormous for one day alone and for a year would hardly bz believed, so great would it be in round numbers. And when it is considered that Norfolk, and other large cities, produce very little of their supply of foodstuffs, it appears at once how dependent we are upon the cattlemen, the fishermen, the farmer and the transportation agencies, and how help- Yess we should be if cut off for a short time from the outside supplies. We are all very dependent creatures and none of us lives to himself alone. He must have association and help of others or die. ‘A news item slates that “New York City eats one billion pounds of meat annually; add to this fifty thousand carloads of fresh fruits and vegetables, and six hundred and forly million pounds of butter, cheese and poultry, and you have a fair idea of New ‘York’s supply of perishable foods,” But New York City produces only a negligible “portion of this aggregate of perishable food- stuffs. It draws upon the world for its supplies, and thus gives employment to the -millions whose foodstuffs it buys and pays the highest prices for. The Norfolk district shares in this consumption, as it furnishes ‘a vast volume of vegetables and other per- ishable foodstuffs to the New York market. It is worth whilo to consider the vast vol- “ume of perishable foodstuffs a city like New York consumes and how much employment gives to those who produce those foodstuffs. Longest “Why this age, which has the least time of all ages for roading, should produce the longest play and the longest novel is dif- ficult to understand, but the fact is that “Back to Methuselah,” written by George ‘Bernard Shaw within this decade, is the ‘world’s longest drama and that H.

He did not appear to see any good in Negro newspapers at that time, although the Negro newspapers helped to make for him some of the big reputation he enjoyed at the time and still enjoys and which we hope he may long enjoy as one of the bright and shining literary lights of the race, Even when he is irritable and captions, fault-finding, being hard to please, we enjoy having him carry on, and take ad- vantage of what he has to instruct us in that which we may be ignorant and hazy. We know he meuns well, and swings a wonderful pen, and so we forgive him much. But Eugene Gordon is something elso. We know very little about him, and have not heard that he has accomplished any great work in journalism or literature, or other thing. The fact that he sleeps in Cam- bridge and works in Boston oxplains much, as the atmosphere of both places, so closely linked together as to be inseparable, is very literary and cultural, with the critical largely a matter of course, Anyhow, dur- ing the past two years Mr, Gordon has given much study and written much in a critical way about Afro-American newspapers and their editors. Some of his criticism has ap- peared to us to be amatzurishly egotistical, but as it amused him and did not hurt us we let it go at that. As a matter of fact he has always treated the JOURNAL AND GUIDE with n measure of fairness. Mr. Gordon has an article on “The Negro Press” in the June number of the American Mercury which is wonderfully in line with the highly bellicose and hypereritical reputation of that publication. He finds very little to praise and a great deal to blame in race newspaper and cditors. Their make-up and contents do not please him at all. He would conduct them in some other way, which he docs not outline. We rather like Mr. Gordon’s outlook. Mis viewpoint is cal- culated to make us think, which Mr. Gordon docs not always appear to do, becaus2, per- haps, he does not imagine it would serve his purpose to do so. With. a collection of 220 “Aframerican” newspapers hefore him, Mr. Gordon delib- erately discarded 197, and of “the remaining twenty-three, ten are classed as mediocrities, “yet sufficiently equipped to qualify for notice; they show an excess neither of vice nor virtue, of intelligence nor of imbzcility.” And, then, he analyzes to death the ten saved from the 220. He is evidently greatly pleased with the slaughter. The Afro-American newspaper has had # wonderful growth during the past quarter of x century, and the growth in the next twenty-five ycars, which Mr, Gordon may be here to weigh in the balance and sneer and jeer al, will he greater yet. Their editors of today have conquered untold obstacles to get where they are, and those who come af- ter them in the work will have a comparn- tively casy time of it. a County Jails As Crime Schools se and Like the chain gang but in a broader £ New | and more general sense, the county jails of ” But | the country are so many schools of crime, gligible | we are told by Hasting H.

Hart, Consultant in Delinquency and Penology of the Rus- sell Sage Foundation, in a startling article in the Sunday edition of the New York World of May 30. It is estimated that fifty million crimes are committed each day, and the Chief of Police of Washington declared that more than a fourth of the population of the national capital would be arrested be- fore the end of the year if the ratio estab- lished during the first three months is main- tained. These jails are so many schools of crime, as no proper separation of first of- fenders and young people is enforced as against association with the old and hardened criminals, in tho large prisons of the large cities of the country. And this is also true of the 893 county jails in which the federal government which has no such jails of its own in which to confine the 40,000 persons it annually has on its hands, and whom it casts som2 $2,000,000 annually to provide for. Most of these federal pris- oners are not habitual criminals, but they come out of jail as such from contact and instruction by the hardened criminals and with the determination to “get even” with society for its treatment of them. Mr. Hart says: “The present system works even niore hardships to the prisoners committed by the local courts than to the United States prisoners. The county jails are designed primarily for the accommoda- tion of the prisoners who belong to the county, especially those awaiting trial. With the tapid inerease of population, most of the county jails have been outgrown and have insufficient accommodations for their own local prisoners.” ‘Mr. Hart does not say anything about the convict lease system and the poor jails of the South, which are built upon the theory that Negroes were to be the main occupants ‘of them, but we call attention to it be- cause the Negro has suffered most from the inferiority of the jails and the brutal prac- tices of the conviet lease system.

This man is a Southern city school board chairman who acts as if he were really the head of the entire school system in his towo. Under his leadership the present Huntington High School of New- port News, Virginia, has been erected, mod- Cenly equipped, and manned with a first- vate faculty, {In addition to the usual class- Yoom facilities, there are separate rest rooms for teachers, a large lmehroom, an audi- torium, wide side-lawns for play space, and a large enclosed athletic field for paid ad- mission games.

The other teachers are all graduates of accredited colleges and teacher (raining normal schools. ‘All of this is in a city where the young- est member of the schoo! board, a white man just turned thirty, completed his high school course in the same city in a high school building not one half ‘as large or woll equipped as the present building for Ne- grees.

These other members of the hoard were not there to tell their “colored friends” a few things. They had nothing whatever to say publicly. ‘They, their friends and their wives sat as interested spectators encouraging by their plaudits the children of their colowd fellow citizens, As to Mr. Norton himself, he presided. For the white chairman of the while school board to be present at all was good to note, For him to play the role of an interested chairman was sweet. And his interest was evidently genuine. He appeared perfectly at home, presenting this or that individual or group as programmed, and commenting favorably to the audience on this or that feature, manifesting a personal knowledge of individual honor pupils or children of pa- trons espccially interested in their children's welfare, How should sueh official and personal gmaciousness be met?

Huxter Raleigh, N.C. es SLL In the stirring lines of a poem by this title deseribed an imagi- nary colloquy between Christo- phor Columbus and the master of his vessel as they sailed the unknown seas on the voyage which meant so much to him and that means so much to the world. This officer who had become fearful and utterly discouraged pleads with his admiral and ar- gues the futility of further ven- tures on the dangerous sea; he urges the admiral to desist from hir madness and save his own life and the lives of the crew; hut to every argument and overy plea, the “brave admiral” an- swits sternly, “Sail ont” ‘The result of this dogged de- termination, this intrepid cour- age, this unfaltering loyalty to a cause which seemed hopeless are known the world over, and they have been celebrated in song and story written in every language under the sun, ‘The attitude and aecomplishments of Columbus have been giving inspiration and encouragement to unnumbered thousands. On commencement day the barque of every graduato is loos*d from its mooving and he as his own “admiral” begins his voyage on the turbulent, treach- crous, dangerous sea of life. Be- hind him will be the experiences of past years, the piers to which his barque has been moored, tie quiet bays in which he has been anchored, the associations and the friendships which have been to him so pleasant and so dear; and before him will be the un- tried sea of human endeavor. For every graduate, beyond the sea are undiscovered realms; treasures of inestimable value; honor, glory and rerown, and a place among the immortals. How- ever, between him and all of these is this sea of life with its dangers. Awaiting him on this voyage are storms, tempests, ice- hergs, rocks and other terrors of the sea, which will meet him “Out ‘on the deep waters where the bil- Tows roll high.” These dangers which the grad- uate must face will test his faith, his courage, his capacity for en- dyrarcz and will try his soul. There will be times when the - fearful elements ef his nature will plead, “Brave Admiral.” But, as the commander of his vessel, "the “Captain of his Soul,” the ar- | biter of his destiny, he “must speak to the timid, fearful, falt- - ering clements of his own nature and, like Christopher Columbus, | command, Sail on! sail on; sail on!” If he will not be discouraged; if he will “sail on;” finally he ‘will behold the lights of the far- off shore and discern the dim outline of the land toward which he has been sailing; and he will at last east anchor, and, in the realm called suceess, he will find and possess treasures incalew- lable, citi aeciatERg Saturday, June 19,1926 e 8 ” NEW OPEN DOOR me | ee eV nei FER Ge) IM ee ee) Ah || ay Z\\W %, SY G EN 1 II tii ge \ Wh saeah | f Ee’ \ iL fll | fo R \ a 4 oak? } 4 BISHOP aly CH =v] oe J ct) ee XH Zz | way KN 2 Z AY AS [| — led "Se Fred Douglass Annual Celebration On May 3ist, a group of the colored schools’ of the city of tl Washington, fy arranged a i 6} Douglass Day WS PEE Celebration at so ge? the Douglass Seep Home in Ana- pom costin.

On Tune ninth, I was invited to de- liver the address on the Douglass Day in Rochester, N. Y., where the statue of Frederick Douglass graces one of the conspicuous public squares. The colored citi- zens of Rochester have already made this celebration an annual event. This was the first time that Thad had the opporturity of vis- iting this great inland city. Rochester is, T believe, the only city of its size which T had not visited. I found there many in- toresting conditions and situa- tions. ‘There are something like two thousand colored people in the midst of three hundred thousand whites, The colored contingency numbers about one in one hundred and fifty. The environment has a tradition of freedom from the curse of race prejudice. Largely for this rea- son, Frederick Douglass selected it as his home. In a positive ag- gressive sense there is very little of the race virus which one meets with where the yace contingont is more numerous. The Negro has all of the rights aecorded to any other citizen, in so far as this can be accomplished by law. And yet the social life of the two races is as separate and wide apart as one would find it in the remote South. The Negro is re- garded as a negligible factor. No one thinks of oppressing him or of going out of the way to favor him. He is permitted to make his own way without the holp or hindrance of the white people. But their numbers are too small for any extended race undertaking or enterprise. The schools are free alike to all. I was interested to notice several instances of white and Negro schaal children’ coming fr om school in Friendly personal and pleasant relations. Although [ keep both eyes opch to racial oc- eusrences in ull parts of the country, I am free to confess that I have rarcly seen it on this wise. But on deeper inquiry, T found that although the public und private schools had been open to colored youth from the days of Frederick Douglass till now, comparatively few Negro students had ever taken advan- tage of them. One colored girl is teaching in the public schools, There are none besides her for the simple reason that no others | have qualified for teacherships by scholastic preparation. T was informed that not a single Roch- ester youth of color has ever graduated from the University of Rochester. The old query re- eurs—why this delinquency in the midst of opportunity? The By KELLY MILLER egress OF Ine Country CC ov serve nationally Frederick Doug- lass Day. “We should not al- low the risiay generation to grow up in ignorance of the deeds and doings of owr illus trions names,” declares Dr. Mil- ler, who recently was the prin- cipal speaker at the Douglass Day celebration in Anacostia, Va. aud at Rochester, N. ¥. But the hove jor creating the proper stimulus for suck @ na- tional celebration and homage hax its greatest obstacle in the luck of hero worship in the Ajro-American for the great characters of his own race, thinks Kelly Miller, who reealls the difficulties that confronted those who finally sueceeded in putting the Douglass Home at Anacostia iu: becomhig shape: reason seems to me to be clear. Wherever there is to be found a small number of Negroes in a large white group where they are not socially assimilable, ambition wanes. They are not inspired by the examples of success of white youth for where they go the Negro cannot follow. They therefore sink into satisfaction with a limited sphere and out- look. I do not wish at this time to dsicuss the issue of mixed and separate schools. The question is much broader than that. Where there is no seeming op- portunity to exploit one's educa- tion, there will be little stimulus to acquire it. The only stimulus which the Negro can reasonably hope for at the present time is that supplied by the mass needs of his own race. Where the maszes are, there will the ineen- tive be also. Even when the Negro boy in the North thinks of aspiring to higher and better things, he interprets his aspira- tion in terms of the needs of his race. Hitherto he has had to think of secking a ficld in tne South where the bulk’ of Negroes were to be founa, But the Northern migration is putting a new edge on Negro incentive. No longer is it necessary for the Northern born Negro youth to think of the far South as a field to exploit his highest knowledge, he can now find the field at his very door. Negro youth in req- uisite numbers may now be ex- pected to find their way into the Northern high school and college because the presence of his race in large numbers affords an in- viting outlet for his trained tal- cnt, The question of mixed or separate schools is but incidental to the main question of stimulus and ineentive, As a general rule, the whites in Rochester treat the Negroes with utter indifference, The race contacts are purely political and geonomie . Negroes are rarely if ever employed outside of purely domestic or semi-servile pursuits. The Dowglass Day celebration is the biggest thing in the life of the Negro com- munity. The procession marches through the streets and holds brief commemorative services at the Douglass Monument, and thence proceeds to the City Hall where the program is completed A white band heads the proces. sion. The streets are lined with white people looking curivusly on. The Mayor gave the felici tation of the city, and then under the pressure of public duty must needs forthwith withdraw. Oaly one other white man remaird through the services. This was an old time anti-slavery frisnd of Mr. Douglass. Rochester has sevstal evlored churches, one doctor, two den- tists, a colored ¥. W. C. A, and the beginning of a Y. M.C. A. The feeling of racial isolation is as strong on both sides of the line as one finds it in Baltimore or Washington. It is interesting to speculaté upon the destiny of a small sul- merged group of colored people in an overwhelming white en vironment. There is a certein sort of satisfaction of living an unmolested life where the ou: ward manifestation of race prej- udice docs not keep the mind in momentary dread. Frederick Douglass had reason to hope that in the future Rochester would treat colored citizens as they did himself—as an equal-—in all of the essentiality of that term. But subsequent develop ments have belied his hopes. Rochester is off the line of travel. There has been no great inrush from the South. The tide of migration did not lead to that city. In the first place there were no opon opportunities for industrial work. It is interesting to stucy the changed mind of the Northern Negro during the last few dee- ades. At one time he deplored the inrush of Southern Negroes in the Northern cities for fear the multitudes might jeopardize the opportunitics and privilesé® which the old citizens were at eustomed to enjoy. There is m0 trace of this feeling left. All hope of social community with the whites has departed. Th? ery now is not for few Nev groes but for more of them. The minister wants more mieniber for his chureh; the doctor warts more ‘patients, the politichin wants more voters; the business wants more customers: thse social proclivities want more ¢" genial companions. In the prs ent mood of the public mind, the Nogro has no human chavee of functioning as a white ma" among white men. He mut therefore strive to play the role of leadership and development of his own group. It is therefore easy to predic’ that the small Negro group in # white community will thrive Rither it ‘will attract more Ne- groes sufficient to become a self satisfying community or the in~ dividuals will gradually move away to the more congenial cen- ters where masses of the re? are to be found, WHEN COURTESY PAYS Selfishness says a Grand Rapids statistician, is responsible for 8 er cent of all automobile accidents A thorough gentleman will always concede to a fast freight at the crossing —Detroit News.
