Delares That New Head Of University Will Have Troubles Enough Without Internal Dissension. BOWD HEARS COL. ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH (Or The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, July 7—I think my now Colored Americans know me well enough to know that I am a friend. I believe I am a friend enough to them to speak to them their faults as well as their virtues. One of the faults of the weary of jealousy of one another, we have had a very serious problem at Howard University. I believe in Negro leadership for Negroes. I want all of you to join in support of the new president of Howard University. He will have trouble enough with the administration of that great school model having to bother with telling off his critics. Stand beaten Howard's new president." Thus Col. Theodore Roosevelt, taking before a jammed meeting the National Association for the Management of Colored People in the city, called for support for the new president of Howard University, the Rev. Mordecai Johnson, the Rev. Roosevelt was chairman of the committee which chose Dr. Johnson, elected at a meeting last Wednesday. Howard new president was a Tennessee. He is not yet thirty years old. He studied at later Williams University, Morehead, Union Theological Seminary, New York, Brown University, Chicago University, and consistently sought as a lecturer on sociological subjects and race relations. He has been pictured at both Howard and Campton. DEATH CLAIMS REV. COLUMBUS MAXWELL Rev. Columbus Maxwell, who served and for a number of years worked in this city a religious and charity work known as the Army of Rescue and Religion, died in Washington, D. C., Saturday, June 17 at 1317 Q street, northwest. He was buried from the First Bryant Baptist Church, Savannah, Ga., Wednesday, June 31, in Woodsville cemetery. Rev. Maxwell went to Washington from here about three years ago. As a minister he ranked among the most learned of his professions, being modernistic in his writings. At one time he edited the coaster, a very forceful newspaper which had a wide circulation in Georgia. Did Welfare Work In Norfolk Col. Maxwell, as he went to style himself, derivated the "Col." from the command of his Army of Rescue and Relief, conducted some of the most treachening and beneficial social work ever conducted here by any individual. He got down among the herd of common people; searched from street corners, in the highways and alleys and from the finest and最难ulpults. Annually on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas he would distribute collars in the streets to receive gifts with which he would purchase dimers for widows, orphans and destitute families without regard to denomination or creed or lack of either. Rev Maxwell and the ability to corral a follow-up to convince people of his sincerity and to preach the gospel as much force, eloquence and morally recital as any man in collar. But the work of charisement, to obsess him. He did this, was humanly possible for individual to do to relieve the misunderstood and succor the needy, was widely known in this second and respected by all who knew Rev Maxwell is survived by a brother, Joseph Maxwell, prominent businessman of Washington, a father, Rev Robert Maxwell, Savannah, Ma. He never passingly, any particular church here, any activities to evangelize, and he made no special efforts toaken care of his afflictions. Roosevelt Demands Full Citizen Rights For All Americans Col. Roosevelt Declares Men Who Would Abridge The Right of Suffrage of Other Men Are Traitors. DEMANDS LIBERAL EDUCATION FOR ALL Chicago, Ill., July 7—Demanding for colored Americans full civic rights and equal opportunity it is with all other citizens, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt addressed a crowded and enthusiastic mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its 17th Annual Conference here last week. "I believe that the work the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is doing, is thoroughly patriotic and constructive," said Col. Roosevelt. "It is American in the proper sense of the word. "The United States is a country wherein all citizens are supposed to have an equal share in the government. We are according to the principles on which this Constitution was founded, equal partners in its governmental affairs. A man or group of men who attempt to deny full civic rights to any citizen on account of race, creed, or color is committing a thoroughly unAmerican act, one that is subversive of the ideals of the country. "Your organization as I see it is striving to obtain full constitutional rights for Colored Americans and by opening opportunities to them to help them build themselves into better and finer citizens. All colored Americans must have full governmental right s. There must be no distinctions made by law either covertly or openly against any of our citizens. In certain states by subterfuges as to registration or simply by force, colored citizens are denied the vote. Any state which prevents its colored citizens from exercising their privilege of the franchise simply because they are colored, is subterfing the Constitution of the United States. Every real American should demand that this evil be set right and do his level best to see that his demands receive proper attention. Says Educated Negroes Must Learn To Support Race Business Efforts "If the bullish indifference of a certain number of educated Negro people towards Negro business enterprises doesn't yield to the coordinate forces of Christian education and racial co-operation there can be no hope for: the race ultimately finding its rightful place along with other peoples of the world," declared W. P. Evans, owner of Evans Department Store in Laurinburg, N. C., which is rated as the oldest general and most established in that city regardless of color and the largest department store owned and managed by Negroes in the United States, having a stock valued at $40,000. Mr. Evans was addressing Catawba Synodical Sunday School Convention and School of Methods at Johnson C. Smith University in August of last year and his highly interesting address is now being prepared in pamphlet form for general distribution. Support Enterprises "I verily believe that it is the job of our educated people to establish and support business enterprises in the race because business is a fundamental to the perpetuation of nations as is Christianity or education.

Why not then the educated colored men in the light of education take the initiative to supply them with essential, business "I state that business is one of the greatest fundamentals of the world's progress and prosperity. Education presides over our colleges and kindred institutions, but business builds and maintains them. Therefore, to establish and perpetuate any race independence, business of that race must be one of its foundation stones. "If the Negro race had more wealth there would be less discrimination. Not that real wealth itself is immunity to discrimination, but that because of the possession of the essentials that as a rule create wealth, viz.: sobriety, economy, thrift, industry, integrity in short character and culture the race would be elegible to a greater and more sincere fellowship with all other people of the world. The American dollar is the badge of American harmony, and our race working together for the good of all, each race could have its individual life and yet live and harmony and in helpfulness to the other races which live by its side.

TRAGEDY STRIKES AWE -INTO THE NEIGHBORS While thousands made merry at the beaches Monday afternoon in observance of the Fourth, grim tragedy faded out of the heavens into the home of one of the lowest families, occupying a fourroom tenant house on the farm of John T. Riddick, in the southern part of Norfolk county, and beert a widowed mother of her main support, an 18-year-old son, Joseph Riddick. The tragedy came out of the thunderstorm in the form of a lightning bolt, striking the Riddick home with a force that tore away half of the modest structure, flashing down the chimney and striking Joseph, setting his clothes on fire and fatally shattering his frame. The youth, whose reputation for devout attendance upon religious worship had won for him the title of the "praying boy," lived seven hours after the shock, even regaining consciousness long enough to recognize his mother and take a drink of milk, which is said to be remarkable for one stricken by lightning and died Monday night. Sat With Family While the youth sat in the house with his mother, brother and two sisters, each keeping reverently quiet as is the custom with most country folks when thunder and lightning seems to rent the heavens, without warning the bolt shot down the chimney. It not only struck Joseph but a sister nearby was severely burned and another sister was forced to crawl into the yard to extinguish the flames that enveloped her after her clothes began to burn. The aged mother and the brother suffered shock. Joseph was offered a job, who has lived with her family on the Johnson farm for a quarter of a century, has experienced the loss of two sons by lightning. Ten years ago, June past, Nealy Riddick her oldest son, was instantly killed by a bolt while working on Lindsay's farm below Deep Creek. Joseph was one of nine children. Last year his father died and Joseph stepped into the breach to care for his aged mother. His father was a very religious man, it is said, and Joseph inherited his sentiments. The youth early became a leader in the religious activities of the community. In the farm districts of Norfolk county, men and women who can climb an old building prayed that makes the roof fairly tremble, rival the preaching parson for honors. Young Joseph Riddick had won his laurels as a "praying boy" and was pointed out as such by the neighbors. Had Half Holiday The youth, with the rest of the farm hands, knocked off for half holiday Monday. When he was paid off by Mr. Johnson half hour before the flash, he asked his employer to advance him a sum of money beyond the wages due him to settle some bills. Mr. Johnson readily complied. When he counted out the money he said to Joseph, "Now if the lightning should strike you I'd be just that much money out." "I dunno boss, but I guess you would," the boy replied as he pocketed the money. In less than half hour after this conversation the boy had received his fatal injuries. The lad's employer summoned a physician and did what he could for the stricken boy, who was most highly regarded by his employer. Tragedy Is Puzzling Tragedy is Punishment. This tragedy coming out of the elements is puzzling to some of the credulous neighbors. They just cannot understand Judd Riddick was such a good Christian, and people are people around Norfolk county who yet look upon lightning as the Deity expressing his omnipotence, and when a bolt strikes something on earth, these people stand in awe and wonderment of wherein lies the Divine displeasure.

Hard To Find An Ideal Mate Says Scientist (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., July—Young men and women have about one chance in a million of meeting their ideal mate, or about the same chance as drawing a royal flush, in the opinion of Dr. Karl Greenwood Miller, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, in an extended investigation into the subject through questionaires. Among the things he found men selecting women for their beautiful eyes. Many men, he learned, rejected women because of their big feet. DEFUNCT BANK STOCKHOLDERS FACE BIG LOSSES Shareholders In Brown And Stevens Institution Called On By Pennsylvania Banking Department To Pay Up. Writing in the Philadelphia Tribune, Edgar W. Roster, gives the following account of the financial delimma stockholders of the defunct Cosmopolitan Bank of that city are now facing, Mr. Roster says: "The stockholders of the Cosmopolitan State Bank, of which E. C. Brown is president and Andrew F. Stevens, vice president are being called up by Peter J. Cameron, Secretary of Banking to put the purse up of their stock. "It will be remembered that the Cosmopolitan State Bank closed its doors at the time of the mighty crash of Brown-Stevens Bank. Some of the directors of the Cosmopolitan claim that the failure of their bank was due to the Brown-Stevens failure. Brown Gets $45,000 "According to the statement of one of the directors, E. C. Brown gave a check for $15,000.00 for deposit to the Cosmopolitan Bank. He immediately drew out $15,000 from the Cosmopolitan Bank. The check for $15,000.00 which was drawn on another bank in this city was returned uncashed, for lack of funds. This was covered up, it is claimed, by a note made by E. C. Brown and Vaughn, the cashier, in the name of the bank. This is claimed to be one of the large liabilities of the bank. "This same director states that a twenty thousand dollar certificate of deposit was issued by Brown and Vaughn without the knowledge of the directors to a certain trust company. The bank is liable for this twenty thousand. Apparently no one knows where this twenty thousand went. "In addition it appears that the bank gave E. C. Brown a certificate of deposit for $10,000.00. As security for this loan a mortgage was given on the Brown-Stevens Bank building, Brond and Lombard streaks. The mortgage was duly made out and the cashier was supposed to have it recorded as an unrecorded mortgage is of no value where there are prior equities. If the statements of the bank are true, E. C. Brown received $45,000.00 cash in the now available bank. It is claimed that the Cosmopolitan Bank had $39,000.00 on deposit at the wrecked Brown-Stevens institution which it was lost. This makes a total of $4,400 lost by the bank through one source. The total deficit of the bank is $86,387.37 as reported by the banking department. $50,000 Demanded "The reasonable value of the assets of the Cosmopolitan Bank is not more $92,540.38 and the liabilities of the bank as shown by claims filed, amounts to $179,383.75, making a deficit of $86,837.37. "The total amount assessed against all of the stockholders is $50,000.00. If it were possible to collect this amount the loss to creditors and depositors of the bank would be slight. It is believed, however, that since some of the stockholders have no assets it will be impossible to collect the entire $50,000.00. E. C. Brown owned 125 shares of the bank stock. Brown is at present engaged in the real estate (Continued on Page Six). TWELVE PAGES—TWO PARTS 25,000-NAME PETITION TO MR. COOLIDGE 25,000-NAME PETITION TO MR.

RHINELANDER SAILS FOR FRANCE New York, July 7—Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander, estranged wife of the young millionaire, Kip Rhinelander, her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, of Machelle, an actress for needed for France aboard the White Star Liner Majestic which sails from this port of July 17. Young Rhinelander is in France, and friends and neighbors of Mrs. Rhinelander in New Rochelle, see in her trip abroad a step toward reconciliation. The steamship officials would not confirm the reports that Mrs. Rhinelander had booked passage. A friend of Alice's when questioned concerning the bride's plans, scoffed at the idea of reconciliation. "Alice and her mother plan to visit relatives in Coventry, England," said the friend, who is said to be very close to the Joneses, "but they will not go to Paris. Alice is through with Leonard Kip Rhinelander, her husband, and there never will be a reconciliation."

It is designed to obviate the striking out of the Howard appropriation from the Department of the Interior appropriation each year. Democrats from New York State voted with Republicans on the passage of this bill. HOW A GEORGIAN VIEWS COOLIDGE- BORNO DINNER The following letter was written by a person signing himself or herself, "A Southerner," to the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph and published by that newspaper, expressing the writer's reaction to the news telling of President Coolidge's official reception and entertainment of President Borno, of Haiti, on the latter's recent visit to Washington. The Letter To the Editor of the Telegraph: "It seems to me that Southern newspaper have been sadly remiss in their duty to the public in failing to call attention to the disgusting display which recently occurred at Washington. On June 15, the President of the United States sat down to table in the White House, that palace erected for him out of taxpayers' money, with a black Negro and his wife as guests. "When such a thing occurred during the days of (Continued on Page Siz) BULLET BRINGS DOWN ALLEGED STOREBREAKER Just a few minutes before 12 o'clock Wednesday night 10 o'clock Church street, around Queen and Bute was thrown into a state of considerable excitement when a bullet from a policeman's revolver brought down an alleged burglar who was fleeing with the officer in hot pursuit. The man fell of Queen street near the corner of Wide. He was later identified as James Jones, 21, alias Ernest Austin, 728 Smith street. A few minutes before the shooting, the police reported a report that Ben Snigel's pawn shop, 631 Church street, was being burglared. Sergeant Relihan of the Second Precinct was the first to answer the call. When he approached the store a man was seen to dart from the door and flee. The officer called to the man to halt but instead the alleged burglar quickened his gait. Policeman Shoots The policeman pursued the fleeing man until forced to bring him down with a bullet. By this time Sergeant W. E. Sykes, Officers Beasley, Anderson, Johnson and Detective Wilkins had reached the scene. Some of them surrounded the pawnshop while others went inside to make a search. Patsiers there being he I did a stack of clothes they found James Austin, also of 728 Smith street. He was brought out at the point of a gun and taken to the Second Precinct Station where he was docked on charge of storebreaking. The officers stated that the alleged burglar's had attempted to tear away a section of the rear roof of the store, tried to jimmy both the back doors and windows and finally entered by breaking the glass in the front door. Several piles of clothes had been prepared for taking out, police say. When taken to the hospital, Jones was found to be suffering from a fractured leg. Both of the men appeared to be mere youths. PRICE 7 CENTS OPPOSE DR. GREENWAY AS SCHOOL HEAD OPPOSE DR. GREENWAY AS SCHOOL HEAD Alumni Stirred Over Trustees' Selection Of Philadelphia Pastor To Head The Institution; Protests Voiced. BELIEVED TO BE OUT OF SYMPATHY WITH RACE (Special to Journal and Guide) New York, July 7—The Alumni of Lincoln University have been stirred into a rage by the knowledge that the presidency of the institution has been tendered to a southern man. The meeting at which the tender took place was held by the board of trustees of the University in the Witerspoon Building, Philadelphia, on June 23. The man to whom the presidency was tendered was Rev. Walter B. Greenway, pastor of Bethany Temple Presbyterian Church, Fifty-third and Spruce streets, Philadelphia. He was born in Broylesville, Tenn., and educated at Washington College. Committee of Trustees Committee of Trustees In May a committee of five trustees was appointed to bring into the board at its annual meeting the name of a candidate for president. The alumni favored Walter L. Wright, who has been at the university for about 30 years, and believed that the majority of this committee favored Mr. Wright. It is thought that the committee of five had no opportunity to make the recommendation effective as the board meeting, it being said that Dr. John B. Laird, president of the board, designated the county who are the real friends of the university. It is claimed that in order that the opportunity for protest might not be given the alumni and other friends of the institution, a gagging motion silencing the board until the candidate would indicate his acceptance was passed. Dr. Greenway's attitude regarding the refusal of Mayor Kendricks to allow the Ku Klux Klan to hold a parade in the city next September in connection with the Sesquient-Cennial, it is claimed, indicates that he is the type of man not wanted to head Lincoln University by the alumni and student body. Dr. Greenway was quoted in the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin as condemning the Mayor's action and declaring he march if he belonged to the Klan. He was quoted by the Bulletin as follows: "Dr. Greenway says he'd march if he belonged." Mayor Kendrick: order refusing to allow the Kux Klux Klan to hold a parade in the city next September in connection with the Sesqui-Centennial was criticized in a sermon last night by the Rev. Walter B. Greenway, Binghamton, Bethlehem "Presbyterian Church, 53rd and Spruce streets." "Where are we Americans; are we going to be sold out?" he cried. In answer to this there was a chorus which boomed, "No." Argument For New Trial For Tynes Monday, July 19 Argument on the motion for a new trial for John L. Tynes, recently convicted by a jury in Corporation Court No. 1, of a charge of second degree murder and sentenced to serve eight years in the penitentiary, will be heard by Judge Sargeant on Monday, July, 19. Tynes was convicted of causing the death of his wife, Mrs. Lenora Tynes on the night of May 6, last. Woman Severely Cut While Asleep An unidentified person is said to have entered the home of Mrs. Mamie Basemore, of Campostella Friday night, while she lay asleep and assaulted her with a knife, inflicting wounds which required several stitches by St. Vincent's hospital physicians to close.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK The business situation during the past month has sustained the impairment of those who discounted the planning prophecies, which accompanied the spring stock market slump. While it is true that business in some lines is dull, in a number of industries where a secure summer decline of activity has been predicted, reports thus indicate nothing more than a normal seasonal slackening. The decrease in commodity prices seems to have been checked. There has been a wholesale discharge of employees as some Summer have witnessed the erosion the employment outlook is copurposing in practically all areas of industry. Reports indicate that all classes of labor are well employed, with even a shortage in skilled machine operators, and semi-skilled construction workers. FARM CONDITIONS Present prospects indicate a recent croat this year that will be larger than in 1925 but smaller than 1924. Corn has been hand-draughts. Dry weather is still a serious matter with us here in the Southeast. Crops here are generally backward, the average condition might be stated as the poorest in many years. The European situation has hit the cotton a hard blow. Failure of building and loan associations to concern themselves with the fundamental and primary purpose of such concerns (to loan money for the building and acquiring of homes by members), will subject such associations to Federal taxation, according to a ruling of A. W. Gregg, solicitor of internal revenue. Mere determination of the sufficiency of security offered by members who obtain loans from the associations is not enough, if the concerns are to remain tax exept; but the concerns must look as well to the purpose for which the money is to be spent by the borrowers.

BEACH Last year thousands of individuals and millions of dollars poured into Florida? What did it result in? Nothing in particular. The sun still shines as brightly, the climate is the same, and the tide rises and falls as before. There is this main difference, though. The surging fever of real estate speculation, has subsided. There are no more hourly and daily pyramid of values. No more do we read of fabulous almost unbelievable profits being made overnight. Prices are more in accord with economic values at the present time than they have been in many months. For instance business property which sold at right to the boom, has declined to such extent that asking prices are lowered 60 per cent below those prevailing at the beginning of last year. It is apparent though that values are on the whole above the level of those preceding the 'boom'. The tumult and shouting have ceased. The bally-booching, high pressure type of salesman is seeking other fields of endeavor—in fact quite a few have camped at our own Virginia Beach. Quite a few realty experts have stated that Virginia Beach is the next field for a decided boom. But does a boom really help a community? Viewed from all vantage points, it may be safely said that the greatest value a boom has for any section is its advertising value. To the question, however, are attracted to the boom field, that would not ordinarily have bothered otherwise. And where investors place any large sum of money in a place, they are going to see to it that their investment pays. Speculation is to be shunned in Virginia Beach as well as Florida.

Both Willem Iam David, who was credited as being the promoter of the project, and Wilbur Crelin, who was out in front as business manager, refuse further support, and the club which has been in the rock during their brief stay in the Eastern League will automatically drop from the circuit.

ALBANY BLANKS BARONS TWICE ALBANY BLANKS BARONS TWICE (BY Associated Negro Press) Albany, Ga., July 8—The Albany Giants wrenkedenge on the Birmingham Black Barons for the first time, them by the Birmingham outfit earlier, in the season, by applying the white-wash brush to the "first-half champions" in two successive games. Big Bill Gatewood, veteran hurler and manager of the Giants, selected himself for mound duty in the opening game and proved to the fans that he is yet one of the best by holding the hard hitting, Barons hitless for nine innings. Following the example of his chief, McDonald held the Barons to two hits on the second day and the Giants collected 8 hits and 5 runs off Salmon, the Barons's mound ace. The score was 5-0 in favor of the Giants. Score by Inning: 1st Game R. H. E. Birmingham --- 000 000 000 0-2 Albany --- 000 140 116-7 Birmingham: Beverage; Gatewood; and Charleston.

Well figures speak for themselves and the Journal and Guide has the figures of a grocery ill made by one David Thomas to one Thomas Teimer, of the City Market, dated January 2 1899, 26 years ago, and though these ‘fig- ures do show that food prices have in some instances soared since that ‘time, they also show that in one lother instance the ascent has not been so great as some would im- lagine it has been. ‘For instance, on December 24, Christmas eve, when egys are sup- [posed to be retailing at top prices, ‘Mr. Thomas bought: two dozens of them for fifty cents. Two dozen legs would havé cost him just a- bout double that amount last Christmas eve. He also bought a bunch of celery for 25 cents. He might have done as well last year. Mr, ‘Thomas got a half peck of white potatoes for 20 cents; a half peck of sweet potatoes for 10.cents; one head of cabbage for 10° cents and on December 31, he bought a turkey for $1.40. ‘His total bill was $2.55. He wouldn't have even got a turkey for double that amount Jast December 31, had the fowl been good sized ’ and country killed. ‘Thomas' 10 cents would shave purchased about one pound of white potatoes, and for his other 10 cents he would have got a pound of sweet potatoes dur- ing December, 1925, and if his eab- bage weighed four pounds he would have paid nearly four times as much for it as he did in 1899. What difference does it. make, however, the celery would have ‘cost him about the same price in 1925 that he paid for a bunch of icin 1699, So, you see, everything has not soared in prices in the past twenty-six years, and celery is one of those things that has not, Moral: Live on celery and enjoy the prices of half century ago. ‘The David Thomas named in the bill was the father of Mr. D. Gate- wood Thomas, a well-known citi- zen of this city. ‘Through his courtesy the Journal and Guide came in possession of the relic.

Rosenwald Talks Another event that attracted much comment was the unannounced visit to one of the business meetings of the conference of Judge Roosewald, well-known for his educational activities in behalf of educated people in the South. Mr. Roosewald addressed the conference briefly, commending its work and stating that his input in the cause of the Negro succeeded from his interest in the culture of the entire country; for he felt the country could not do less as it ought to do if ten per cent or more of the population are denied opportunity. At the Sunday afternoon mass meeting of the conference in the auditorium Theater, addressed byatrice Darrow, James Weldon Johnson and Arthur B. Spingarn, surveyed estimated at 3,500 filled the entire auditorium and numbers of people crowded the street while seeking admission.

Even when the hair is worn long How long will it take a hat to go through the door? Will you love you will he with any other girl? The fashions in clothes have by degrees so closely allied themselves with fashions of the hair that there now exists a now "ensemble" spirit between the two. A Paris authority says, that smart women are neither wearing very short skirts, nor very short hair. An outstanding parallel between the hair and the costume of this season, lies in the fact that though both have similarly the same element behind, each accepts a version of the feminine mode.

Nine out of ten of the women of the grandmother age, are wearing bobbed hair, although in many cases it is becoming waved around the face so that the gracious softening lines of long hair are combined with the modishness of the bob. Even when the hair is worn long at the back, the hair line at the nape, of the neck, must be carefully shaped. The natural looking V is considered the most attractive neckline, but when one's neck is thin and long, avoid the definite V, rather have a cut of overcurves around. Bobbed hair is now an artistic hairdress, rather than a more hair cut, so I entreat each woman to be careful in selecting the style of cut as well as the person to whom she goes for a cut. There are as many barbers the are incompetent as there are hairdressers to give an artistic cut. One of the greatest aids to beauty is sound sleep. Crows feet, wrinkles, tired listless eyes, sagging muscles are all restricting influences on beauty. This is one of the reasons why a good night's sleep, so wonderfully improves our appearances, by filling out the tissues, creating a better circulation in the blood, consequently better color, and eventually rendering material aid in eradicating wrinkles. Of each of you who recommend that each of you wish to improve for appearance, to get that desired freshness of youth, to sleep more, and aim during the time of sleep, to remove every vistage of worry from your mind so as to get the proper assistance from sleep, for results. According to Des Vignoles there are something like 200 different computations as to tha Creation date, varying from 3483 B. C. to 6984 B. C.

RECENT GAINS REGISTERED BY COLORED LABOR According to an announcement made by the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League, T. Arnold Hill, director, the two sections of the country showing the most satisfactory conditions in industry for Negroes are widely separated—the New York City district and the city of Waukee, Wisconsin, the New York City district, which includes parts of Jersey City where prospects are generally bright, has actually witnessed the importation of colored workers from the South for railroads and industrial plants. Wholesale transplantations usually reveal weaknesses in the jobs offered. While the rule has followed in this case, the movement has not been entirely unsatisfactory. Wages offered have been fifty cents per hour with seventy-five cents for overtime. In Milwaukee two plants are looking for molders and chippers. Conditions there are good in all lines and the colored worker is getting a good opportunity. Both Milwaukee and New York have done something for school boys, obtained than used on account of the failure of the Pullman Company to offer them work as porters. In New York the Motion Picture Operators' Union has finally admitted colored operators to membership. As a consequence, the pay of some of them has doubled. In Milwaukee electric crane operators have entered a steel plant for the first time. In findings sections of Kentucky, in foundries in small cities of Ohio, and in parts of Michigan, gains are registered, while Fort Wayne, Indiana sustained the loss of one hundred men in the Pennsylvania Railroad Shops.

Something Different In The Menu Now that the fine warm days are here the housewife appreciates suggestions which will aid in planning attractive meals for appetites which have begun to fail. Hot dishes all have their appeal at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hot waffles for breakfast, baked beans and brown bread, and delicious home-made beef stew with dumplings such as only Mother can make, cannot help but tempt the most finky eater at lunch. At present many are trying out new recipes brought home from the cooking school, the club luncheon or perhaps borrowed from their best friend. Planning good things for the children when they arrive home for the vacation weeks and even for house-cleaning days is taking up considerable of Mother's time just now. She has not forgotten that some one's favorite is chocolate fudge cake or that one of the children is particularly fond of nut cookies, or butter scotch pie. Just such thoughts ar egoing on in hundreds of mothers' minds. pleasure it is for her to plan things to please her family. And, possibly just at the last minute before the dressmaker comes to the house for the annual Summer sewing week, the housewife remembers something that would please her. Lunches and dinners seem, at this time of the year, when everyone a pleads guilty of having Spring fever, rather hard to plan, but crisp, cool, inviting salads with some delicious, fluffy, piping, hot baking powder biscuits, strawberries and fresh cake for dessert seem actually to melt in one's mouth. So really, why does anyone find it hard to think of what to serve? Time For Ice Tea A glass of sparkling ice tea with its delicate aroma is one of the most delicious and widely used beverages during the summer months. It has a refreshing as well as a stimulating effect upon the body when hot and tired. There probably is no beverage used by the American people because it is so difficult because the average person knows so little about the selection of different teas and the methods of brewing. An old rule is one level teaspoon of tea to a cup of water. This is a good one to use when trying a new brand; but most people will find that it is not necessary to use this large amount. The housewife will have to experiment with her kind of tea to taste of her family. Some teas are much stronger than others and therefore require a smaller amount. Pour boiling water over a tea ball containing the required amount, being careful that it is only about half full, since the leaves must have room to swell and be removed from three to five minutes. Either pour off the liquid or remove the tea ball. The clearest ice tea is produced (Continued on Page Nine) MRS. EDITH E.

FUNDS NEEDED TO REBUILD TRAINING SCHOOL DORMITORY FUNDS NEEDED TO REBUILD TRAINING SCHOOL DORMITORY Washington, D. C.—A public appeal is made to the churches, fraternal organizations, individuals and other groups for aid in securing funds for the rebuilding of the main building of the National Training School for Women and Girls which was destroyed by fire on May 1st. The institution is now without shelter for carrying on its chief business, and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the president and the trustees are asking 1000 persons to give $25.00 each on or before the first of August. With that amount in hand, they will begin work of putting up a brick building. Because of the confusion and embarrassment caused by the similarity in name of the National Training School for Women and Girls and the National Training School for Girls (the District reform school) the trustees in their annual meeting of the National Training School for Women and Girls to the National Academy and Trades School for Girls. The curriculum will also be raised. The institution will do two years High School Preparatory work, four years High School, two years Normal and two years Junior College. The plans for re-organizing are now under way and graduates from the best colleges and universities will be employed. The Trades School is to be one of the equipment schools. It is the Trades School the institution is going to specialize in training women in the fine art of home making and household engineering. It is hoped that the trustees will not only receive money enough to put up a great administration building but that within the next two or three years, several other brick buildings and a gymnasium will be erected. The Training School is the first and most of educational work attempted by colored women for colored women. The faith, sacrifices and success of the founders are a challenge to the race. Contributions may be sent to: The Evening Star, The Washington Loan and Trust Company or to National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D.C.

Petersburg; which was attended by a group of boys representing the Norfolk Boys' Club, the following resolutions were adopted: "We, the boys, of the State of Virginia, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association having been called together to discuss problems of the youth of today, and having organized ourselves in the First Older Boys' Conference of the State of Virginia, do hereby resolve the following: "FIRST: To extend our deepest appreciation to the teachers and students of Virginia State College for their hospitality and co-operation and particularly to Dr. Gandy, Dean Florence, Mr. Richardson and Mr. S.

"SECOND: In our discussion group we faced the following problems common to our school life and community. 1. Student Government. 2. Bad Habits such as profanity, smoking, drinking, etc. 3. Illicit sexual relationships. 4. Proper occupation of our leisure time. 5. Question of life work. 6. Religious questions of today such as Modernism, Fundamentalism, Evolution and Religion. RESOLUTION FOR STUDENT GOVERNMENT "We resolve that in order to perfect and make the student Government, we effective we will do the following: 1. Cooperation with the faculty. 2. To personally apply resolution. 3. To have personal interviews. RESOLUTION ON BAD HABITS "We resolve to personally apply Christian standard in our lives to promote 'A COME CLEAN CAMPAIGE' among the student body to be with the parents concerning the bad habits of their children.

Chicago, June 29—Speaking last night before a mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 17th Annual Conference here, William English Walling, writer and lecturer, declared that the Negro must look for salvation elsewhere than patriotic politics. Mr. Walling urged that people throughout the United Statesote independently of established political parties. "As a persecuted minority the colored people must vote for their friends absolutely regardless of party," declared Mr. Walling. "And that is exactly what they are doing in every Northern State. When there is no friend to be voted for and no enemy to be voted against, a freed citizen may vote for 'his' party. But he knows it is only 'his' party for that one election and in that one State. In the neighboring State he knows well that that same party may be in the hands of the Ku Klax. And he doesn't know who will control 'his' party in the next election.

PLACES LARGE ORDER FOR STEEL RAILS Requisition For 55,000 Tons Costing Approximately $2,365,000.00 Goes to Carnegie And Bethlehem Companies. Roanoke, Va., July 5—Orders for 55,000 tons of new steel rails, costing approximately $2,365,000 have been placed by the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, according to an announcement made at the general office here today. The order was divided between the Carnegie Steel Company and the Bethlehem Steel Company, 37,500 tons of rail to be fabricated at the Bessemer, Pa., plant of the former company and the remainder, 17,500 tons, at the Steelton, Pa., plant of the latter commy. In announcing the placing of this large rail order, it was pointed out that it represents only the Norfolk and Western's yearly rail requirements for renewal purposes. All of the new rail, deliveries of which will begin in September of this year, will be applied to the main line and important branches replacing worn rail, which will be replaced with new line can be applied to sidings and other little used milage. In accordance with its practice of maintaining its right of way and track at a high standard of efficiency, 40,000 tons of the new rail will be 130-pound, the heaviest in general use in the United States. The remaining 15,000 tons of the order will be 100-pound rail. Furthermore, will be 30-foot lengths instead of the usual 33 foot lengths which have been considered as standard in the past. Some idea of the magnitude of this rail order was given in connection with the announcement from the general offices. In order to earn enough gross revenue to meet this yearly bill for renewing of rail, it will be necessary for the company to each carry the average load of 1,317 tons of freight, a distance of 272 miles. The average train load and the distance used in this computation were the actual averages recorded by the Norfolk and Western in 1925. The figure of $2,365,000.00 represents only the cost of the time it is received and applied to the track, the cost to the company will be considerably greater. tablespoon of lemon juice. Place the egg whites in a bowl, add two tablespoons of sugar and beat three minutes with a wooden spoon. Repeat adding a small amount of sugar at a time until the mixture is thick enough to spread, and the lemon juice gradually as the mixture thickens. You may determine if the frosting is thick enough to spread by making a cut thru it with a case knife, if it comes out clean and the cut remains parted it is of the proper proportion. Many people have a prejudice against using an uncooked frosting for ornamental purposes, but if properly made is very successful. With a pastry bag and a number of tubes, a cake may be decorated as desired with only a little practice. Cooking Your Summer Vegetables Within a few weeks our summer vegetables will be in their prime. Even now most all of them are on the market. Those of you who have gardens of your own, of course, have the advantage of the rest of us, since vegetables are so much better used soon after gathering from the garden. Many vegetables are disliked by certain members of your family; so the greatest skill in cookery is necessary to make the average family eat all of them. The general rule for conserving and food value is to bake or steam them instead of boiling, or if they have to be boiled to cook in a small amount of water, whole or their skins rather than cutting in pieces. The French are much more scientific in their methods or cooking fresh vegetables than we Americans ever hope to be. For instance they cook them in a very small amount of water and sometimes no water at all. They add a little sugar to the water or juice in which the vegetables are cooked, to give a fresh or sweetish taste. They also blanch all their delicate green vegetables before cooking. Those to be boiled should be plunged immediately into boiling salted water. Strong flavored vegetables such as cabbage, onions, cauliflower, turnips and peas sprouts should be boiled rapidly in an uncovered vessel. Mild-flavored ones as beet and peas should be boiled in as small a quantity of water as will cook them. The cover should be slightly ajar, since all vegetables require some ventilation during cooking. Asparagus is a vegetable of very delicate flavor and should be cooked carefully. It should be crisp, yet tender. The best way to serve asparagus is with a cream, Hollandaise or drawn-butter sauce. To be real good, fresh peas must LYNCHBURG ELSON HIGGINBOTHAM.

Never be guilty of fraining off the liquid, but let it evaporate, then season with salt, pepper and a generous supply of butter, or a rich cream sauce may be added, according to the individual taste. Another vegetable on the market at this time is the string-bean. Like peas they should be cooked immediately after picking. In selecting string-beans choose only those which are crisp and tender rather than those that are tough and withered. A Few Reminder 1.

White and a man giving his name as Walter Williams were later arrested. Franklyn Hoxter with Helen Hagen Williams, W. H. Stauffer, and W. H. Gertzinger. Throughout the contest *Mr. Grinnell* conducted his unit of over fifty pieces without the use of a score sheet, but varily with verve, sweep, conviction, and a fine understanding of contest compositions. When the aplause had somewhat abated, Mr. Grinnell came forward to receive the beautiful trophy as a representation of his meritorious efforts and as a true expression of the skill of his men. To listen to this band is to hear a Negro organization capable of playing the most difficult, exacting, yet enchanting composition thus far composed by the world's best music-masters. Mr. Rodman Wanamaker has recently purchased a new set of Conn silver instruments which Mr. Grinnell has placed in the hands of some of the country's best musical talent. A second band has been formed, and as soon as efficiency qualifies and necessity demands, members of this unit are promoted to the first band. Mr. Grinnel was formerly band-master of the 360th U.S. Invasion overseas, and U.S. Cavaliere. The band now under his direction plays at special times and during the days of each week in the Philadelphia Wanamaker Store, and may also be heard over the radio through station WOO. of their mother and grandmother, Mrs Matthias Munden. *Born to Mr. and Mrs. William Murden, Friday July 2, a son.* *M.

KITTRELL COLLEGE TO RAISE $100,000 KITTRELL COLLEGE TO RAISE $100,000 Durham, N. C., July 6—To supplement the recent gift of B. N. Duke, tobacco magnate of Durham, N. C., and the more recent gift of Prof. W. G. Pearson, J. M. Army, John R. Hawkins and other government Negroes, the trustees of Kittrell College, at Kittrell, N. C., have authorized a campaign to raise an additional endowment of $100,000. Prof. W. G. Pearson, of Durham, N. C. has been designated to direct the campaign, and in announcing its inauguration at campaign headquarters, Durham, N. C., stated that he expected to raise the fund in three months. The authorities of the school plan to raise the scholastic standards to those of a Class "A", College, and the increase in its endowment is an essential step in that direction. In addition, six new buildings are now being erected, and the institution is otherwise improving the plant and its equipment to meet the requirements of the standards with which it aims to conform, and to serve the increased student body which is expected next year from North Carolina and adjacent states. With $100,000 additional endowment, the school will be one of the most liberally endowed colleges for Negroes in the Southeastern, U.S., and will draw upon and serve North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia and Alabama from which states large contingents of students are expected; while at the same time, students in smaller numbers from every other state are expected to enroll. In the campaign just announced, the appeal will be directed to Negroes who are, in recent years, contributing more liberally to their own educational institutions than in the past. The alumni of the school will be enlisted for active service and participation in the campaign. With six new buildings in the process of erection, and other permanent improvements going forward under the direction of President G. A. Edwards, the campus at Kittrell is a scene of busy preparation for the coming year. Ahokie, N.

A decade ago the great world of common people was going about its business, tilling, making, carrying. Then the leader, "fight", and everything construc-toped.

White, for ten years the pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church, was relinquished his work here and assumed charge of his new field at Indianapolis, Ind., where he pastored before coming to Norfolk.

Regardless of the number of splendid men of the derpy that we may have here, our city is the poorer in men of real pulpit character Rev. D. F. White, for ten years the pastor of the. First United Presbyterian Church, has relinquished his work here and assumed charge of his new field at Indianapolis, Ind., where he pastored before coming to Norfolk. It is said the old charge was insistent that the Rev. Mr. White return to it. Indianapolis gains by our community's loss. Regardless of the number of splendid men of the clergy that we may have here, our city is the poorer in men of real pulpit character through the loss of Mr. White. His record here is one of the finest ever left by any man. For ten years he labored, never manifesting other ambitions save service to his church and the community. His flock here was small. He is fitted in every way to pastor large churches in large cities, but Mr. White went about his work here with a concession, with a singleness of purpose that made him virtually immune to the calls of more alluring fields for a decade. And when he finally gave up, he left his work in a way and shape that few pastors ever have left a charge. His congregation unanimously regretted his going; the whole community as deeply regretted it as did his members, and withal he left complete harmony in his church, even to the choice of his successor whom he himself installed. Rev. Mr. White was claimed by the First United Presbyterian Church as its pastor, but in a broader sense he pastored Norfolk. He will be remembered here more as a consecrated, devoted pastor of this city of the very highest character than he will by the church of denomination with which he was identified. Here is a man whose life elevates and dignifies the ministry. He lived amongst us for a decade during which time his lovable personality drew men unto him and his improachable character won their admiration and esteem, while his meekness and humility seemed to mark him truly as a minister of the gospel. What is said here applies equally as well to Mrs. D. F. White, except that she wore no vestments of the clergy, but never was a woman more truly a clergyman's wife than she the inspiration these two people must embrace each other must be in a The Rift In The Lute In spite of the ever vexatious and energy-steaking problems that are attendant upon America's racial duality—problems which all good citizens who are commonly interested in the welfare of the country realize in our national hindrances and wish there were not—there comes quite often a rift in the late which inspires the belief that the spirit of the brotherhood of man is not a dream impossible of attainment.

C., attached to a petition urging Governor McLean to do something little black Alvin. Mansel, condemned to death upon the conviction for rape, and that elequent, impassioned, humane plea made by attorney Hall Johnson, who has no fee to take, only a human life that he believed innocent to save?

Then comes from a white man, of South Carolina, who lay on his sick bed with his life hanging by a thread when little Alvie Bansel was convicted, swearing his belief of the boy's innocence and offering facts to prove it. Mansell is a 17-year old Negro. He is condemned to die for rape upon a white woman in Buncombo county. Prominent people, white and colored have thrown their influence his way in an effort to save his life, believing the boy innocent.

Status of the Intellectual South The intellectual status of any people always of the utmost importance to them. By it they are weighed in the balance by the cost of mankind. Those people who have an intellectual status at all, or the evidence if which has been destroyed in some myrious way, are rated as backward people The intellectual status of any people is always of the utmost importance to them. By it they are weighed in the balance by the rest of mankind. Those people who have no intellectual status at all, or the evidence of which has been destroyed in some mysterious way, are rated as backward peoples even when they are still living, as in the case of the Red Indian. Harry Stilwell Edwards, a Georgia journalist and author of some reputation, is seeking to establish a Southern university which will preserve the old literary standards of the South, with the cavalier way of living which thrived in the atmosphere of the slave system, and all that, but we have a notion that his efforts will fail, because the old order has changed, and is changing, and cannot survive the new order. The group of authors, of whom George W. Cable of Louisiana was a conspicuous example, who headed the new order which began in the 1880 period, found the South an uncomfortable place to live in because their new viewpoint was contrary to the popular will, and Mr. Cable found it more satisfying to change his residence to Northampton, Mass., where he was residing at the time of his death, in Florida, not long ago, and ever since the time Mr. Cable found it best to move away from home, Southern authors have been finding it best to do so. They have moved themselves and their literary warres to the parts of the country where there exists a tolerant public opinion and a market for their production. It has made the South poor indeed. This point is dwelt upon lucidly by Joseph Wood Krutch in reviewing for the Nation the recent work of Prof. Mims of Vanderbilt University, entitled, "The Advancing South," who shows that Prof. Mims is father to the thought that the South is advancing, intellectually, rather than that it is stagnating, with here and there an outstanding figure. There are many Southerners, he says, who will stand by anything Southern except "truth." Whoever desires to obtain a liberal education must go outside of the South to secure it, "and once he is away he has every inducture to stay away." That is, to remain where there are plenty of libraries and laboratories and tolerant public opinion and a market for his work. It is not only in literature that the South has grown poor because of lack of educational facilities and demand for literary work, and because of the existence of intolerant public opinion, but it has grown poor in the quality of its statesmanship. After the death of the Southern statesmen who came over from the slave and war period, from 1570 to 1000, they had no successors, and never before in the history of the country has Southern statesmanship been at a lower level than it is today. The Pat Harrisons, Heflins and Cole 'Bleases' are no adequate exchange for the John C. Calhouns, the Henry Clays and the John B. Gordons. And to what is the decadence to be attributed if not to the ignorance and intolerance of and intense prejudices of the white masses, who demand of their leaders that they represent them and not the best interests of the South and the country. And, as the intelligent and aspiring young white men of the South find better opportunities for education and employment in other parts of the country, so also do the intellectual and aspiring colored men. The result is and has been that the best intellects in the South go away from it in order that they may have and enjoy life more abundantly. And this will remain so, to the in- THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Why? Norfolk, Why? I am penning these lines in a distant city. From personal observation and from conversation with Negroes from South Carolina and Georgia, I am moved to ask Norfolk two questions—First, why must Norfolk have an unconstitutional order against its colored citizens using a majority of the public bus lines? Are these not public carriers, using public thoroughfares? How then can any citizens be legally denied their use? A. B. C. If it be claimed that such a restriction is for prevention of race feeling, why is thing necessary in cities not the same thing because further South, where race feeling is supposed to be so much worse? Does not Norfolk have the same sort of jim crow regulations for public conveyances as do other cities in Virginia, North and South Caroline and Georgia? Both races use the same busses in other cities, just as they use the same street cars in Norfolk. But Norfolk's Negroes must suffer inconvenience and humiliation in the matter of busses all the while being assured, nevertheless, that they are the finest colored folks anywhere. Does not all the chamber of commerce booster literature speak of the contented, dependable labor supply to be found in Norfolk? Who makes up that praiseworthy group? Is it not the Norfolk Negro? Why then must such a group be denied here what they are freely granted further South? further South, where race feeling is supposed to be so much worse?

Why then must such a group be denied here what they are freely granted further South? Again, why must Norfolk act as though she were ashamed of the accomplishments of her Negro group? When she boosts her progress and prosperity to the outside world, she publishes pictures of representative white churches, banks, homes, fraternal buildings. Are there not corresponding edifices built, owned and supported by Norfolk Negroes? It seems to me such things would convince outside capital that colored Norfolk was indeed contented and dependable. Offers of higher wages elsewhere might easily disrupt a labor supply housed in shacks and interested only in bans and drinking bouts. But a working class which can boast of its own bank, its own lodges and insurance, its own churches, its own homes—well, that's different—such a group will not readily yield to the appeals of either the labor agent or the labor agitator.

Spirit of The Press Mr. Borah and the Negro From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. William E. Borah of Idaho is a sincere man, if often radical and sometimes wrong-headed. It has been said that he is playing a loud hand in national politics; it has been hinted that his ultra-Prohibitionism springs out of a belief that the Drys will nominate the next Republican candidate for President. He hates to have such a motive ascribed to him by insinuation or directly, and proceeds to prove that he is not a vote-getter by saying at the commencement of the National Law School: William E. Borah of Idaho is a sincere man, if often radical and sometimes wrong-headed. It has been said that he is playing a loud hand in national politics; it has been hinted that his ultra-Prohibitionism springs out of a belief that the Drys will nominate the next Republican candidate for President. He hates to have such a motive ascribed to him by insinuation or directly, and proceeds to prove that he is not a vote-getter by saying at the commencement of the National Law School: "I believe that the enfranchisement of the slaves, at the time it was brought about, was one of the greatest mistakes ever made in this country. The statement may be of interest to those who say that I seek the Presidency because I espouse the Eighteenth Amendment." Hindsight is always better than foresight. Mr. Borah is correct in saying that Abraham Lincoln never accepted the idea of immediate votes for Negroes after the Civil War. He might have added that the strongest friend the Negroes had in Congress, Thad. Stevens of Pennsylvania, was not in favor of enfranchisement. But Stevens, with the cold logic characteristic of him, held that disloyal whites should also be deprived of the vote, that the whole territory should be divided up into districts without regard to state lines, and each district, having only loyal white voters, governed as a territory till a new generation had grown up. This would have been Cromwellian policy. But it would have protected the Negroes against evils which the vote never protected them against. The fact is that plenty of Northern thinkers have felt as Mr. Borah feels that enfranchisement—giving the vote to a race just emancipated—was an error. But in the conditions existing in 1895 there seemed to be only three courses, first, to restore the states as they had been and let white men make what laws they pleased; second, to follow the plan of Stevens; third, to do what was done. The first course would have put all the Negroes everywhere, even when in a state-majority as in Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina at the mercy of their former masters. Their status might have been made worse than in slavery. The second was an un-American idea. The third seemed safest, and the statesmen of the Reconstruction period were honestly governed by what they believed to be best for the country. And even now, after the practically complete nullification of the Negro's franchise, a plausible argument might be made that the inspiration of being a men and a citizen did much for the elevation of the race. Today a large marginal vote of Negroes in certain Northern states is a factor to be reckoned with on every election day. This is the element that Mr. Borah goes out of his way to offend in order to prove that he is not a trucker to the electorate of America. Probably he has hurt his chances as a candidate for nomination for the Presidency, if he is to be a candidate. That is something for time to determine. Stealing By Whites and Negroes From (Columbia S. C.) State Why do people who violate the Eighth Commandment steal? Fully as interested would be the answer to the inquiry, Why are those who refrain from violating that specific inhibition in the moral code "honest" in that particular? Is it because they are inherently honest or because the temptation, in their circumstances, is not sufficiently great? In his charge to the grand jury of Greenwood county, Judge Featherstone again directed attention to the large increase in the number of whites indicted for theft and the equally striking decrease in the number of cases brought against Negroes for that disceaseful crime. The Judge found upon examination of the Greenwood county record that there was one particular in which juries and the prosecuting solicitor were to be congratulated: in the preceding year there had been 64 convictions out of 85 trials in the criminal courts. On the other hand of those 85 tried, 50 were whites; and 16 of the white "were charged with stealing or housebreaking and larceny while only ten Negroes answered to those charges." The Judge recalled the time, as must all who are approaching middle life, when it was a rare thing to see a white person brought into court charged with committing this "infamous crime." The record in Greenwood last year is not peculiar to that county; with varying degree it was a statewide record. It is the reflection of changed conditions, changes in temptations, changes in viewpoint, but it is, as Judge Featherstone declared, "a horrible record," and his opinion is that "the only way to break it up is to convict people who are guilty, punish them and let them stay punished. It is nonsense to attempt to enforce the law when there is a sickly maudlin sentiment and too much sympathy for criminals." It is also noted by the judge that 26 whites were tried for violation of the prohibition law against nine Negroes charged with that offense. Judge Featherstone remembers the time it was an extraordinary occasion when a white person was charged with theft. At that time whites expected dishonesty on the part of Negroes; nor were the dishonest multitudes held in much less regard by either race. There was some justness there, since they were the inheritors of the morals of sorvitude, where "light fingers" were as natural as appetites. Just a few decades ago, had any dozen of our thoughtful and supposedly discerning leaders in the South been asked why Negroes stole and whites did not, there would have been expressed the practically unanimous thought that Negroes were "naturally," "racially" dishonest while white were either naturally honest or forced to honesty by race pride. But such theories are not being upheld in latter day developments. Thinking men and observers are debating whether economics have not more to do with the question of so-called honesty than racial affiliation, with the majority probably supporting the former idea. With the background and atmosphere of slavery, and in freedom occupying the lowest place in the social scale, from whom nothing was expected but labor, for which the wages in an impoverished country ranged for house servants and field hands from 30 to 60 cents a day, the only incentive to common honesty with the vast majority of Negroes was fear of being caught. They had no standards, and their thefts were for bodily needs, not much more unnatural than the raids of crows upon cornfields. But a change has taken place, and while that change began among the "upper class" of Negroes when that class developed, with its development of self respect and responsibility, it has recently been argued in discussions among groups of thoughtful men in the vicinity that the marked change in the criminal court records of Negroes in this state, especially as to larceny, is coincident with the change in their economic condition following the great rise in value of their marketable services. With double and treble former incomes they are living under better conditions in every respect, and as the incentive to dishonesty has decreased their pride or self respect or "race consciousness," or whatever it may be termed, has increased and is acting as a moral stabilizer. And in such argument there is logic. But how may the increase in the number of what Judge Featherstone properly designate "infamous offenses" by whites be accounted for? Many of them who covet another's goods are not restrained by "race pride" or sense of "race superiority," they haven't got it. The economic changes have brought Saturday, July 10, 1926 Try The Ballot As A Ballancing Weight MOB VIOLENCE PREJUDICE INJUSTICE SEGREGATION DISFRANKISEMENT PATIENCE PAYENCE ENTERTAINMENT PRAYERS PETITIONS ??? THE BALLOT On last Saturday the National Equal Rights League and United ague and United Colored American Committee presented to President Coolidge a mammoth petition containing 25,000 names protesting against racial segregation in the government departments at Washington A. H. It is no disparagement to the rest to say that Mr. Trotter was the moving inspiration of the protestation. In the interest of historical accuracy, it should be said that it was due mainly to the indomitable courage and energy of the editor of the Guardian that segregation was forced upon public attention as a national issue. Some ten or so years ago, Mr. Trotter headed a delegation to the White House to protest against departmental segregation which was at that time taking on definite shape and direction. Because the White House spokesman lost his temper, the item was carried by the associated press in sensational headlines. The discriminatory practice was all but universally condemned. Few were found with the temerity to justify the policy of government in placing a stigma upon any element of American citizenship. The American mind is always fair when forced to a frank facing of a moral issue. Those who manipulate the government will, by devious ways, circumvent the principles of democracy when applied to the brother in black, or rather the brother in colors, but none but the self confessed criminals will dare stultify the nation's conscience by frank avowal. All right minded Americans will hold up true ideals in principle, but only the incessant insistence of those debased will compel the translation of these principles into practice. Herein Mr. Trotter has been a persistent and consistent race advocate. Despite his faults of disposition and temperament (who has not his share?) Mon-them temptations; they wish money to live the faster, more expensive life of the times, and they are either unwilling to work for it or unable to earn it, and so they steal. And thousands who balk at plain theft, do not balk at "buying" goods for which they know they cannot pay. Hundreds of bogus checks are issued every day. Dishonesty is by no means confined to that class of whites appearing in the dock of the criminal courts. While there is a large and definite work which law enforcement officials, from juries to governor, may do, as Judge Fentherstone well-says, the evil is we fear, too permeating and deep rooted for courts to cure. There is dishonest thinking and dishonest acting in myriads of cases which the juries will never have before them. How may those with crooked vision be brought to see straight? roe Trotter from first to last has stood upright and down straight for every right without reserve and without delay. I have differed with him and still differ in modus operandi, but his devotion, his courage and persistence command my unlimited admiration. Because I am of a different type of temperament it nowise lessens the candor of my judgment and the sincerity of my esteem. How the awarders of the Spingarn medal could year after year overlook the claims of this intrepid agitator for human rights staggers the understanding, if it does not surpass comprehension. In the absence of previous formal recognition I suggest the staging of a nation wide testimonial to this unvivalued champion of equal rights. Waiving aside personal idiosyncracies and peculiarities of temperament, Mr. Trotter has laid every Negro in America under a heavy debt of gratitude. It was none but he that kept alive the fires of agitation when others would have let them die down in the smouldering embers of compromise and debas ing peace. But I must not in this release eulogize Mr. Trotte. I am merely describing him. The performance on last Friday was a most dignified and decorous procedure. Mr. Trotte has a genius for the picturesque and the spectacular. He seeks to dramatize every significant event in American history as a background portraying the wrongs and demanding the rights of American Negro citizens. One scarcely visit Boston without running into some celebration of some distinguished American or patriotic happening under the auspices of the Boston Guardian with intent and purpose of keeping alive in memory the just and rightoue claims of the colored race. The sesquil centennial week had been proclaimed. The mind of the nation was to be made newly conscious of the soul stirring incidents and events which gave rise to the birth of the nation. The rights of man formed the enacting principle of the Declaration of Independence. Go to, said Mr. Trotter, why not take advantage of entering into the pool of liberty while the Angle of Liberty is troubling the waters? Let us dramatize the occasion by presenting to the President of the United States a memorial demanding the application of the "liberty, fraternity, equality" in the inner workings of the government its self. Let twenty-five thousand Negroes through their signatures, speaking for twelve millions who would as willingly have signed, ask the President who embodies in his traditions the American ideals to abolish once for all by executive order the undemocratic and unAmerican and unethical practice of racial segregation within the departments of the federal government. The thought was conceived in Mr. Trotter's mind and executed through instrumentalities under his guidance. As the committee stood in the august presence' of the chief magistrate of the greatest nation on earth, I am free to confess, that I to) one felt apprehensive that Mr. Trotter as spokesman might let his unrestrained ardor for his cause get the upper hand of caution and propriety and invigile the President into a four pau, as he had done on a previous similar occasion. But displied by experience and chastened by the ripening effect of age, he kept wholly within the conons of propriety within the presidential presence. He presented the case of the twelve millions of American Negroes to the President of the United States in a clear-cut, unyielding and dignified manner, such as would have done credit to the aptest disciple of Chesterfield. Every Negro in the land can feel proud of Trotter at that moment. The committee withdrew. The petition with twenty-five thousand and signatures remained with the President. The cause of the race had been presented as forcefully as we were able to do. The response was received with appreciation and understanding. The qualified assurances were as much as we had any reason to expect. Segregation will doubles continue in the departments. But the issue has been put squarely up to the fountain head of authority. The President now knows exactly how the race feels over the iniquitous practice. The country also knows through the medium of the associated press. The race has done its duty. The oppressed must never for a moment let the oppressor think that the oppression is lightly felt. The man who feels the wound must utter the groan. The protest must continue as long as the injury lasts. The spirit of protestion will never die as long as Monroe Trotter lives and wrong endures. I entered the employ of the government under the civil service many years ago. At that time race discrimination, as we see it now was unheard of. We were relatively more Negroes in the classified service then now. The germs were present, but were not allowed to spread into full growth. I cannot however close this release without one word of caution. This specific protest is against discrimination within the government service. For several years, I have been trying to stress upon the attention of the race the importance of combating the dangerous practice of discrimination in the civil service commission thru which applicants enter the classified service. By death, resignation and retirement colored clerks are being rapidly eliminated from the government departments. There are few or no fresh recruits. They are shut out at the threshold. Unless we insist on keeping open the port of entry, in a few years, there will be left no colored clerks, and the whole question of segregation will be settled by elimination, and our last state will be worse than the first.
