CHAINGANG BOSS TRIAL DRAGS ON Here Cruelties To Convicts Charged Against Nevin C. Cranford By Rebuttal Witnesses For The State. HURY MAY GET CASE LATE NET WEEK (Special to the Journal and Guide) Albemarle, N. C., July 27—It was freely predicted that Nevin C. Cranford, alleged manical chaingang boss of North Carolina convict camp, charged with the brutal murder of two Negro prisoners James Terry and James Dowell and the inhuman andicious treatment of other prisoners in his charge, would go on the stand in his own defense, and these predictions were borne out here today when the defense rested its case shortly before noon deciding to put the defendant on the stand. The trial of Cranford began in the little court house of Alberambe week when his ailing savagery and barbaric treatment of prisoner alleged by the state was urged to light. Some of the testimony given out by witnesses for the prosecution was hair raising and blood curdling such as has been heard in the hitherto little courtroom. Twenty or more witnesses were ruled by the State which began to place these rebuttal witnesses on the stand for further testimony when the defense closed. It has been thought that the case would long drawn out, not having any possibilities of ending before the next week or later, but the turn down of events, mainly the nature of Cranford to take the lead many to believe that evidence in the case will be in stage Thursday noon. The pro-trial has seen the large trials witnessed on the first few winkle considerably. Plenty of rooms may now be found in the first room as the crowds have set off long sessions. Arthur Picker was the first defender witness to go the stand. He was put on this morning and was put through a gruel-cross-examination by State's coroner Caule. Picker stuck his main testimony and the little endeavored to impeach the success by impeaching his char- James Raymond, Earl Littaker and Barney Mills, who served under Crandaf as guards refuted the charges of cruelties in their hometimes.

He added that Crandaf never knew when he was going to inspect the camp. number of character witnesses applied for Crandaf, including W. Harris, clerk of the Superior court of Stanley county, and W.

Fraternal insurance companies with white officers and Negro members have no legal status in Virginia, a law having been passed by the last General Assembly making it unlawful for such companies or societies to insure Negro members. Thousands of Negroes in Virginia are insured in fraternal sick and accident insurance companies, paying their dues weekly or monthly, whose policies may not be worth the paper they are written upon. These policy holders are not aware of this as the existence of the law in question is not generally known. Several hundred white men make their living regularly collecting insurance premiums from colored people in Norfolk alone. PenderCompany To Run Big Picnic For Little Folks Enraged Husband Shoots Two Men And Aged Woman Law Upheld In Federal Court A case testing the law which was passed by the last session of the Virginia General Assembly was tried in federal court at Richmond last week, and Judge D. Lawrence Groner, presiding, ruled that the law is not in conflict with the constitution of the United States. The case in question affected an Alexandria company which has white officers, but insures colored people. In view of the new law, members of the society have asked for a receiver for the same, and PenderCompa BigPicnicF Three hundred underprivileged colored children with their mothers will have the privilege of going on an excursion and picnic to Jamestown Friday morning, July 30, along with an equal number of white children and their mothers, as guests of the D. Pender Grocery Company. The Pennsylvania steamer, the New York, will take the little folks and their elders from its dock here at 9 o'clock in the morning. Plans for the pilgrimage are said to be about complete. The entire trip, the cost of which will be borne by the company, is being arranged by the Visiting Nurse Service of the King's Daughters. The tickets are being divided equally between the white and colored children of the King's Daughters' wards. The trip is expected to prove a boon to dead mothers, for no child is going unaccompanied by the mother. Elaborate plans have been made for giving the young for the entertainment of their lives. For their safety there will be a group of women from the King's Daughters who will serve the lunch under the great shade trees of James Island and there will also be two nurses and two doctors from the children's clinics as a precaution against emergencies aboard the New York. The Pender children's picnic will prove the largest charity project of its kind ever undertaken here, and Mr. L. Windholz, president of the board of directors, who instituted it, is genuinely enthusiastic over its prospects. His enthusiasm is shared by the Vis- Enraged Hus Two Men And (Special to the Journal and Glide) Jacksonville, Fla.—On a Florida East Coast fast train between Miami and Jacksonville, prominent, women on their way to the meeting of the National Colored Women's Federated Clubs which meet in Oakland, Ga., report the shooting up of the train by a man enraged at the attention paid and his wife by a stranger. It is alleged that the strange man made himself known to the couple soon after the party left Miami. He was a young man of prepossessance and gave no outward evidence of his having an anterior motive in treating the newly made friends to lunch at his expense. After a length of time, the woman's husband who had accepted drinks, appeared to become suspicious of the young man and requested that he leave and not return to him, and his wife. The young man was slow to move. The stranger left the couple only after a knife had been drawn on him by the husband. Soon the young man company with another young man promemoned pass the couple as intervals which seemed Judge Groner announced that one would be named. The law in question is probably one of the many passed by the last General Assembly of Virginia in the interest of "racial integrity." Its effect is expected to be far-reaching, as there are numerous large societies and associations in Virginia owned and operated entirely by whites which have hundreds of thousands of Negroes enrolled upon their books. If the law applies to one branch of insurance it undoubtedly applies to all where the officers are white and the members, or the insured, are colored. iting Nurses Service of King's Daughters. Miss Webb, director of the service, stated: "We cannot praise too highly the generosity of the D. Pender Company, which has made possible this day of rest, recreation and pleasure for our underprivileged children and their tired and weary mothers. You must be sure we are doing our best to make it a never-to-be-forgotten occasion." Mr. Windholz stated that the idea of the picnic for the underprivileged children occurred to the company officials when they were planning the annual outing for the company employees which the place on August 11. "This is the first time we have undertaken such an outing but it probably won't be the last. Every employee is enthusiastic over the prospect of treating the kids to a day of real pleasure and I am sure if providing this picnic for the children meant giving up the employees' outing, all the 'Fender people would vote unanimously to forego their own good time in order of bringing a good business to our youngsters. Friday. We think that big business and such enterprises are getting closer together these days, which is as it should be." Just to keep the little appetites in good trim the following goodies will be taken along for their enjoyment: Ten boiled hams, a ton of ice, dozens of soak, 1,000 bottles of oil, 1,000 boxes of crackers, 20 boxes of candy, 200 portions of ice cream, 200 sponge cakes, 200 dozen rolls and two or three toys each for the children picnickers. Umph! to aggravate the woman's husband, whereupon the husband reached for his satchel, took out his revolver and began shooting at both the youth man, both of whom were shot as also was an aged woman who was hit by a stray bullet. The flurry drove the other passengers into the white coach where the conductor was apprised of the affair. Reaching Melbourne, the next station, officers entered the coach and took off the three men and the aged woman. The names of those involved have not been learned nor any further details available at this time. The man's wife proceeded to New Orleans to which destination they (she and her husband) had tickets. The shooting occurred Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. The women who reported the affair express the opinion that the young man had doped the woman's husband with a view of robbing him and that the upon the husband detecting the strange workings of the drinks he had taken, took steps to prevent the man from carrying out his plans. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1926 PLAN TO MAKE A UNIVERSITY OF THE SCHOOL Institution Will Be Conducted According To Best Methods, Announce Officials Representing Purchasers. PLAN TO MAKE SCHOOL NATIONAL IN SCOPE Smallwood-Corey Normal and Industrial Institute at Claremont, Virginia, has been acquired through purchase by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, according to an announcement made in the Negro World, official organ of the organization, in its last issue. The property, situated on the historic James River, consists of 66 acres of valuable Surry county land. There are nine buildings, the main buildings said to be valued at more than $100.000. Was In Financial Straits For some years, practically ever since the death of its founder, Prof. John D. Smallwood, Smallwood-Corey Institute has struggled along without the proper financial backing necessary to accomplish efficient work. It contains the nucleus for a great and influential educational institution in Virginia, and Universal Negro Movement. Association which holds a large national membership and sufficient finances declares that it is the aim of the organization to operate the school according to the best modern standards for conducting such institutions. It is stated that the property passed into the hands of the U. N. I. A. by deed on June 14, following several months of negotiations between the Executive Council and the old Board of Trustees of the institution, the consideration being merely the assumption of the outstanding obligations of the school amounting to about $55,000. On Historic Site Smallwood-Corey Institute stands on the site of the landing place of the second cargo of Negro slaves, who landed on the continent in 1622. The school was founded by John D. Smallwood, himself born a slave on the very spot where the school stands. He was educated at Hampton Institute and later returned to the site of his birth to found the institution which bears his name. Under the guidance of its founder, Smallwood-Corey did some very worthy educational work, but since his death it has continually encountered financial difficulties. The U. N. I. A. announces that the institution will be run under new management," but the general policy of catering to the residents of Surry county in particular and Virginia in general will not be changed, although the enrollment of students is expected to be represented by youth from all parts of the world.

TWELVE PAGES—TWO PARTS OS AS D mallwoo SEES TIME FOR RACE TO HEAD OWN SCHOOLS Dr. Penn Declares That Philanthropy To Secure Best Results In Negro Education Must. Work Thru Leaders. THINKS MOVEMENT AT HOWARD IS BEST ONE (Special to Journal and Guide) Spirit Lake, Iowa, July 28—Before the Lake Okiobia Bible Conference, Dr. I. Garland Penn, Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the secretaries for Negro Schools and Colleges of the Board of Education, Methodist Episcopal Church, declared that to secure the education of largest resources in the education of philanthropy should now work through the educated Negro as presidents, teachers and workers. The recent movement at Howard University in selecting a Negro to the presidency has in the right direction. "We had just as well be truthful about it" said Dr. Penn. It is an economic question. Thousands of Negroes are being educated and are now doing graduate work in the summer schools for their degrees, where to attend, except among their own people. He said this should not be considered as eliminating white workers from Negro schools but rather a compliment to these God-fearing, self-sacrificing men and women, in that, they have done their work so well in the last fifty years as to have prepared Negro men and women for the task. The time has also come said he, when Negro leaders and people must give of their means for the education of the race and its supplement with the education, with delivered two addresses at the Bible Conference Saturday and Monday, July twenty-fourth and twenty-sixth and conducted an Interracial Workers Conference. Several thousand white Methodist of Northwest Iowa and South Dakota heard the addresses and participated in the conferences.

DEATH d-Corey Chain Prayer Excites Detroit (By The Associated Negro Press) Detroit, Mich., July 27—There is still religious superstition among some people. Just now this city is flooded with what is known as a "Chain Painter" that has been going the rounds in this and other states for a number of years. Nobody seems to know the origin of it or who was its initial sender. The prayer, which runs: "Oh, Lord, be merciful unto us, let your face shine on all nations," is sent through mail by some one to ten persons. No name is signed. Each person receiving the prayer must sent it to ten more. And so it goes the rounds; so much so that some people have been known to have received ten prayers within ten days, as the prayer supposed to be sent, is supposed of one a day, and of each the prayer the recipient is implored not to break the endless chain, by failure to keep it going, less some great calamity befall the faithless one. Seemingly the fear of the calamity and the hope of receiving the great joy that is promised to follow in the path of all who send it has caused a never-ending stream of the Chain Prayer. LAIRD DENIES GAG VOTE ON DR.GREENWAY Dr. E. P. Roberts Replies To Dr. Laird Setting Forth Statements That Don't Square With Dr. Laird's. (Special to Journal and Guide) New York, July 28—Rev. Dr. John B. Laird, president of the board of trustees of Lincoln University, has written a letter to Dr. E. P. Roberts, of this city, president of the Lincoln Alumni Association, refuting statements appearing in the Dr. Laird press to the effect that the Dr. Laird was responsible for the selection of Dr. Greenway as president of the institution and that the election was the result of dominating the other members of the board by its president. Dr. Laird in his letter to Dr. Roberts states that he is "interested for the sake of the university in having the truth told" and declares the statements alleging that he was unsympathetic with the claims of the institution were slanderous: To Dr. Laird's letter Dr. Roberts replies, setting forth what appears to be facts not squaring with the former's statements. Dr. Laird's letter reads in part as follows: "You say that I corralled my friends and supporters on the Board and rode rough shod over the minority members in naming Dr. Greenway, and then I took steps to forstall criticism by muzzling the Members through a gag motion that the matter be secret. The above statement is absolute. And I would be easily pleased if you would give me the source of the information upon which you base the statement. Again the statements with reference to my influencing the Board in the matter of the policy of electing Trustees is untrue. "I confidently expected and hoped that in a very few years Lincoln University would be the possessor of an equipment, both scholastic and material, that would enable her to be administered altogether by the people for whom she was founded. I do not think that with her present poor material equipment it would be wise to make any radical change now. I am not trying to evade responsibility for anything that I have done as a Trustee of Lincoln, but I am interested, for the sake of the University, in having the truth told. "You know and I know that what Lincoln needs now is a large increase in her permanent funds, some of this may come from the great foundations, but at least fifty per cent of it will have to come from the friends of Negro Education. The majority of the Trustees, up to this time, I think have felt that in the Presidency just (Continued on Page Three) ALL NEWS THAT'S WORTH READING PRICE 7 CENTS DR.

Professional Club To Change Name At an informal banquet at Juanta's Delicatessen on Monday night the Business and Professional Men's Club, of which Dr. G. Hamilton Francis is president, voted to change the name of the organization so as to make more cosmopolitan and to burden its scope. In the discussion of the project by the members it was brought out that in the city there is a large group of men that would be a splendid asset to the organization but who did not consider themselves business or professional in the strictest sense and who would not consent to become affiliated with the organization, because of its cognomen. The members unanimously agreed to remove this hindrance by a change of the name of the club and it was suggested that each member, at the next meeting of the club, to be held at the Community Center, August 9, submit a name to the body, and the name which has the most popular appeal will be adopted at that meeting. The banquet was well attended, among those present be- News of Berkley BERKLEY WOMEN TABOJ "THE BOB" The Women's Community Improvement League, of Berkley holds its regular weekly meeting in its club room on Appomattox street, Wednesday. Every member was present when the president, Mrs. F. B. Reid, opened the round table discussion on "Bobbed-haired Women." The League's final opinion was against the bob for women. The report coming from the Babe Infant Conference was very encouraging. The maintenance of this conference is a boon to both babies and mothers as evidenced by large, regular attendance. The report coming from the suffrage committee was to the effect that several of the women had recently qualified and registered. This was indeed gratifying as it is the aim of the League to have every member qualify to avail herself of the privilege of the privilege of American citizenship present were, G. Hamilton Francis and Mr. R. C. Davis. Dr. Francis agrees with the women that there is a fertile field in Berkley for another colored physician of the right kind, as, since the death of Dr. J. S. Quarles and W. R. Mapp, the work of four doctors has fallen heavily upon the remaining two and is laborious at times. For this and other attendances the energetic, well-equipped man will be welcomed and will prosper. Mrs. R. G. Hodges, chairwoman of the publicity committee and supervisor of the playgrounds, brought to the League's notice the desirability of having croquet sets for the older children and mothers who frequent the recreation center. The League, through subscription, donated $6.00 to purchase. The Big Sisters, an organized girl's club, fostered by the League, is now studying "The Wonderful Story of Life," under the supervision of the president. Remarks coming from the visitors were encouraging. "Mrs. Katie Scott, vice president and Mrs. R. G. Hodges were asked to lead the discussion next week, subject: "What Can We Do to Adjust Ourselfs to the Higher Prices of Necessities." Those leaving Berkley with the Eastern Star to attend the annual convention convening in Lynchburg were: Mrs. Rosa Hudspeth, Mattie Davis and Angeline Davidson.

"But I had only been using this preparation a few days until my hair became smooth and glossier. This encouraged me so much, I kept right on using it and now I have an abundance of long, straight hair which I can arrange in any manner I wish." Improved Pluko Hair Dressing is fairly taking the country by storm as more and more men and women, like Miss Wells, are finding how easy and pleasant it is to use this delicately fragranced preparation which melts at the temperature of the scalp; soothing the itching of dandruff and quickly doing away with this trouble; making the hair soft, glossy and easily arranged; and stimulating its growth, so it soon becomes long, straight and abundant. If your dealer doesn't have Pluko, send us his name along with 50c If you want the Snow White Pluko or 25c if you want the Amber and we will send it to you through him and thus save you postage. Rev. J. C. Diamond, Rev. Lee, of Norfolk, filled the pulpit. The people were glad to welcome Rev. Lee who is undoubtedly one of the ablest men in our church. He spoke from Math. He emphasized "the Spirit of Christ and the Kingdom of God." At night, First Baptist, Trinity and St. James held their union service.

Olney Road. Dear Nanni: I have read your plans of love affairs in and I think they are very nice. I have a few questions I want to ask you. I am just as good as any girl in my class. I am tall, slim yellow girl with black boobed hair and brown eyes. I am not pretty but everybody likes me. I am a girl. I am a school has been a boy going with me that I liked very well and I believed he liked me very well. I am north and has been gone about three months. He was worried with me about what some one had said. Do you think it would be nice for me to write I have not heard from him since he has been gone. I like the boy who goes with me now, but not the other. I also treat him nice just the same. Hard Hearted Vamp Dear little Hard-Hearted Vamp: My little girl you are in spite of all that signature. You see no one has said you were not as good as the girl girls and one's niceness is always taken for granted until proved otherwise. No, if he has been gone three months and has not been seen, he has. If he was so worried about what someone had said, why not come and talk it over with you. You be a good friend, and you will be going are going with now very nice and let him return and find you doing well. Nearest Naomi: I congratulate you in your work in the course, and I trust you will continue to give advice to the young people especially, to the children, to the girls, to Paper Shar. Surely the girls have him by now. Then too, he would not care for a country girl. He girl 20 years of age and I have been having company for four years. There is a certain young man that he has given to you. I too, him develoity, he has taught him his wife, and I want to ask you to do not think our ages would make any difference. He is seven or eight years my age. We are both church workers. His position is one of the highest. I have also told him to kiss me. Do you think it harm since we are to be married in the future? Please give me your opinion of all I have said. Dear Juvenber.. I have never heard any more from Taper Shy. I guess he wrote the letter for ten, and with no intention of being. If you are positive the young man loves you and you are equally sure you love him, you are sure his age should be at warriors. If you have many tastes in common, I am glad to bear that you are both church workers and a teacher, you like your lots of pleasure. You know it is you expect it to kiss him. --- Black Mountain, N. C. is of little significance to the ordinary citizen, but when it is known that it is the station-through which you reach the famous Blue Ridge Conference Grounds, known by many as the most beautiful Conference grounds of the world, this little station takes on a different status. On the tenth day of June the writer with several others was met at Black Mountain, and after a few minutes ride by automobile we reached what was known as "High Top Colony," where we had been invited to attend the five day pre-conference Retreat of the Southern Students Conference. Here our host for the five days made us welcome to Chipmunk Lodge, better known as the summer home of the Bergomaster. Here we could really appreciate those beautiful lines of Joyce Kilmer, "poems are made by tools like me, but only God can make a tree." As one gazed upon the beautiful trees that closed Chipmunk Lodge, "against the moontimes burning glare and heat," he could see the divines of a tree. Picturesque Scene Viewed from the roomy plaza of Chipmunk Lodge, the picturesque scene of the Blue Ridge Mountains is beyond description. One might call that whole country God's Country." It is known as the "land of the sky" and truly this is no missoner for here heaven and earth seem to meet. However the physical aspect is only the significance of the Blue Ridge Conference Grounds. Beautiful beauty does an art taught by my mother is early life, and even more this human test is applied to our stay at Blue Ridge, we can say that the place was filled with beauty. A few young men, members of the Regional Council of the Y. M. C.A. of the South Representing the States of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia had gathered on this mountain side to take the principles of Jesus seriously. There were sixteen of us in all, and two of that number represented that minor race group of the South. The principal object of this threat, as it is known, was to for the coming Southern Student Conference. Those gathered were to have the responsibil-ity of the entire big conference on race and therefore they tried to I wish you joy and I wish you luck. Naomi. Dear Naomi: After reading the many letters which were written by other girls and the helpful information you have given them, I decided to ask you for aid in solving my problem. I weigh about 105 pounds this year, and I am in a high school. I am not very brilliant, but have the ability of a normal student. I will make a great deal; who is energetic and who is not. I have everything look nice and go well at all times. I have never had many experiences about as much as many other girls my age. I always amused myself at home, but now I have found out that there is much enjoyment and pleasure on the outside, life, omitting dancing and late parties. I have no boy friends and would be very glad to have a few nice admirers. I have a "turning-out party" which do along with a "turning-out party" what is going to give me? What kind of boys do you think would be best to invite to the party, and the best way to entertain them is proper, to accept anything a boy offers you the first time you meet him. Peggy. Dear Peggy: I am very glad to know that you are 'end of your books and I hope that you will keep that up and I compliment you. You will find that you will meet many nice boys at the high school and it will be bright to cultivate the boys with good and those that are well-mannered and who seek to be in school. Do you go to church and Sunday school? I should think you would meet some worries boys there. It is indeed lovely for your children and you would be 'party' and I know you will have a nice time. All of the old-fashioned games are you play and I am going to suggest you try them and I will put in games. You will find them lots of fun. I think it would show good taste not to accept the very first time unless you offer a group and he is offering you soda water. There would be nothing wrong with that. Give Your Stove A Rest I don't mean a long vacation, necessarily, but perhaps one or two days a week. But anyway that hard working stove needs a rest too just as much as you do in the hot summer months. In an effort to help you give your stove a vacation, I have planned a weeks' meals for which the stove need hardly work at all. Perhaps for a short time in the morning, possibly a little once or twice a week, but certainly not three times a day and in between times. A great many object to the long cooking of meat, but I believe it wise to get a roast or ham in hot weather as one long cooking in a morning will save much hot cooking at moon or nights. There're salads and other quickly made dishes which also take care of the remaining roast after once serving it hot. get right with their God first. The many problems and projects of the Conference were taken up in detail, but with all of them there were a seriousness, and a spirit of brotherhood that mark a new day in our Christian practices in the South. There are times in our race relationships when we are almost ready to ask as was asked during the final Dugout, during the days of Abolition, "Is God dead?" But such an experience as we had in those Blue Ridge Mountains, soon assures us that God reigns still, and that "only man is vile." When man is taken from his prefixed world and put in an environment where he can think for himself, and experiment for himself, he too emphasizes that great idea that God reigns, and if man would only permit his nobler nature to rule all would be well with the world. He soon recognizes that man is man, not because of the color of his skin or the texture of his hair, but because of that great spirit within him that lifts him above the beast of the field, and makes him big enough to forgive and to serve his needed fellowman. Not his color but his spirit counts. At "Hilton Colby Our five days together of "Hill Top Colony," under the leadership of that brave Christian man, J. W. Bergsthold, who dares to take Jesus seriously, and under the physical care of that truly fine southern lady, Mrs. Bergsthold, enabled us to see ourselves as others see us, and to conclude that "it is so much good that worst of us, and so much had in the best of us, that it does not behave any of us to talk about the rest of us." Not criticism but Christian contact is the need of the present age. Five days of Christian contact convinced the little group of men gathered on this mountain side that the difference of race had nothing to do with one's serving God; that God made no distinction in his spiritual power. It made them conclude that the blessings of the contact of these five days should be shared with that larger body of Southern students which they presented; that the two colored men who had been invited into the Retreat for the first time, should be invited remain to the Conference where their contact and influence could be felt on the entire body of from three hundred to five hundred students representing the "ten We accepted the invitation of these gallant young men, and on the morning of the 15th of June we established our headquarters in the famous Robert E. Lee Hall, where five more most historical days were spent. At the first meeting that evening, at the Negro delegates were presented to that host of young Southern White men and women as representatives of the King's Mountain Conference, and received a most hearty appeal to them. We then rented these Conference grounds until left this beautiful "Land of the sky" everything was truly beautiful; that is if "beauty is as beauty; this was." This was the first experience at the attempt to practice Christian brotherhood by most of these young men, but they played up and played the game. Our living together in Christian brotherhood was epoch-making in itself, but the thoroughness with which these men took up all of their problems relating to Christian student life, and especially that of race Relations, and Christianity, was most radical in the broadest sense of the word. Dr. Mordecal Johnson, the real prophet of our present age was invited to speak on Christianity in Race Relations. He was introduced as one of the greatest speakers of the present time, and he truly lived up to his reputation. Dr. Johnson gave the picture of the present age as no one but he can-give it, and declared that "The one way out was the Jesus way. It is the right way out for John Jones black, and it's the right way out for John Jones white. The love that has reverenced the human life" was the world, and reverencing the individual that needs help" is the only real way to practice Christianity, contended Dr. Johnson. His speech was followed up the next day with small and mass group discussions. Dr. Johnson remained there a part of two days, during which time we all sat at his feet as at the feet of a true apostle of Jesus. Every man had an opportunity to express himself, and to compare his way of solving the race problem with Jesus' way. Besides this general discussion of race relations by the entire conference, there was a special project on Race problems. Men were specially interested an opportunity to go to the very roots of the race problem. Men were led to see not only the injustice done to the Negro by the existing dou Norfolk's Greatest Credit Jewelers Building Of Good Will has meant to us the cornerstone of our business, and that good will has been created, and will be maintained, by the giving of values, by guaranteeing every purchase, by rendering a careful and personal service at all times.

The dominant opinion as expressed in reference to race relations, was that Christian contact and 'cooperation should be substituted for the baneful conditions existing. By this great Conference men were brought face to face with the challenge of to-day. The unadulterate doctrine of Jesus Christ was put before them. No half way measures, or compromises, but the whole truth was opened up. A man was free to accept or reject, but what ever he did, he did with the facts before him. The object of the Conference, said that fine young man, Francis Henson, in the opening meeting was the "searching after truth, new and old," and truly the program of the Conference justified this statement. One cannot mention this Conference without paying his respect to Sherwood Eddy, the veteran of so many of these great gatherings.

SCOTT, Proprietor T It was he who opened up the Conference, and laid the foundation for all that came thereafter. "The deepest need of the world is the discovery of God. If you want to discover God," said this great citizen of the world, "discover man. In as much as you do it unto the cripple, the colored brother, you do it unto me. God is not going to be defeated by what we do. Find God in the service of your neighbor, let him be white, black, brown or yellow." His presentation of the subject of relationships between men and women was most masterly done, and his discussion of military training in our colleges was just as effective. All one can say is that men were made to think, and to think straight. There were other leaders and speakers, but space will not permit me to mention their contributions here. When one looks at the Conference as a whole he is again compelled to say that God reigns, and that he reigns in the South; that there is a righteous remnant rising up in the Southland that is "searching after the truth, both new and old"—A remnant that is willing to take the Principles of Jesus seriously, regardless of the cost. All glory to this group of young men (and women too,) for they are true heroes. They are popularly known as fools, but they are the fools that will make this world what it ought to be. God give us more such fools. Mme. Elliott HAIR DRESSER Hair Dysing, Manicuring and Massaging. Wigs for Rent - Lessons Taught. Diplomas awarded.

BEST FOOD ER VOTING AGAINST THE TUNNEY-DEMPSEY BOUT, CHANGES RULING New York, July 28—Just what the New York State License Commission, headed by Col. J. J. Phelan, who is now on duty with his regiment, will do in regards to the proposed Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney heavyweight scramble that the State Athletic Commission sanctioned here Tuesday at its regular meeting; by a two to one vote, is still a matter of conjecture, despite rumors and counter rumors to the effect that it will refuse and will not refuse to issue permits to the principals in the fight, Tex Rickard has been trying to stage for some time. This complete flip-flop by the athletic body was due to the reversing voting of George Brower, who last week, voted with the Chairman, James Farley against such a bout and contended that Wills was really and truly the logical contender and the one to get a first crack at the champion. It had been infiltrated all along that Brower, would soon string along with William Multon, who has been holding out for a Dempsey-Tunny affair, after Brower had decided with Farley last week. PHIL COCKRELL BLANKS CAMDEN Philadelphia, Pa.-Hilldale took advantage of Lefty York's wildness and piled up enough runs in the first inning to win the抚媚, Phil Cockrell let the抚媚 down with four hits, and only in the sixth inning did they threaten George Brower, a lawyer and former chairman of the board wirell Tex in Chicago to hurry back to New York and place his bout before the commission again and this message hinted, that he would change his vote at this meeting. Rickard could not reach New York in time for the meet, but he had his representatives to appear in person and place the bout again before the commission and Brower did as hinted, over the protest of James Farley, who is still making a lone stand for Harry Wills. It is said that Col. Phelan is known to be in favor of a Wills and Dempsey fight and he takes sides with the chairman of the athletic board. Just what the apprehensions are brought to license the fight, no knows until he re-adults two weeks, he nce Brower claims that the license committee cannot refuse a license to arbitrary reasons, in spite of the fact that the license board is separate and distinct. from the boxing commission. Farley goes on record as saying that he believes the fight will never be staged in New York or elsewhere. Commissioner Brower is very jubilant over the affair and states that he went, his limit to see that the fight was brought to New York where it rightfully belongs.

The old league is still, notwithstanding the adverse reports, still out last week, going business in the same places and in the same way, with few changes. Much can be expected to happen during the current week among the league clubs. Indianapolis is at this time finishing a series with the champion Monarchs and if they are able to stand the race in Kansas City the other tribes who are to meet them will feel better when facing the champs. Detroit is fighting it out with Chicago in Chicago and this series will test the Giants' strength on the last half and should they dispose of the Detroit club decisively they will have to be counted, as a dangerous contender, on the second half of the present. St. Louis will not have a league PHIL COCKRELL BLANKS CAMDEN Philadelphia, Pa.—Hilldale took advantage of Lefty York's wildness and piled up enough runs in the first inning to win the fray, 4 to 0. Phil Cockrell let the Jerseymen down with four hits and only in the sixth inning did they threaten the platter. # HILLDALE R. H. O. A. E.

BLACK BARONS BREAK WINNING STREAK OF ADS BLACK BARONS BREAK WINNING STREAK OF ADS (By: Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala., July 28— The perfect record of the New Oreans Ads for the second half of the season was broken, here Tuesday when the Black Barons defeated the Ads by a score of 4-2. The Ads, however, took the locals into camp Monday to the tune of 4-1. The opening game was featured by the pitching of Poindexter for the locals and Willis of the visitors and the hitting of Parnell of New Orleans. Errors by the locals figured largely in the scoring. Misplays were perhaps responsible for the Ads' defalt on Tuesday, coupled with the pitching of Salmon, who was effective throughout the whole game: NEW ORLEANS AB R H PO A Laruant, if 5 0 1 0 1 Benjamin, 1b 4 0 10 1 Parnell, cf 4 2 2 1 0 Roussel, rf 4 0 1 4 0 Roth, c 4 1 1 2 0 Breaux, 3b 3 1 1 0 1 Collins, 2b 4 0 0 2 4 Henry, ss 4 0 0 5 3 Willis, p 4 0 0 3 3 BIRMINGHAM AB K H PO A McAllister, 1b .....5 1 1 1 4 0 Geechie, 2b .....4 0 2 0 4 Smith, If .....3 0 0 3 0 Mitchell, cf .....3 0 0 3 0 Williams, c .....3 0 0 3 0 Oedon, c .....4 0 0 2 0 Lilly, rf .....4 0 0 1 0 Wilford, ss .....4 0 0 2 1 Poindexter, p .....4 0 0 2 3 Totals 35 1 5 2 7 9 Score by innings: New Orleans 010 110 010-4 Birmingham 100 000 000-1 Summary--Errors, Henry 2 Willford 2, Benjamin, Willis, Geechie, Sism, Oden, Two base hit--Parnell, McAllister, Sacrifices, Benjamin, Smith, Stolen bases, Parnell 2, Breaux, Smith, Double Play--Breaux, to Benjamin to Henry.

PLAYHOUSE The Week In The Eastern League Good Used Studebakers For Sale Cheap* TERMS IF DESIRED EVERY CAR AS REPRESENTED Goburn Motor Car Co., Inc. 739 Granby Street Norfolk, Va. Washington, D. C., July 28.—A suit for $2,000 damages was filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last Saturday vs. Earl Dancer, Louis Schooler and Ethel Waters, trading as the Ethel Waters Company, by the Howard Theatre. The Ethel Waters Company failed to carry out its contract with the Howard Theatre, it is declared in the suit. According to the declaration, the Ethel Waters Company agreed to put on twenty two shows at the Howard Theatre in the week beginning July 19. There was to be three shows a day and a midnight ramble last Friday. The Ethel Waters Company was to receive 50 per cent of the gross receipts for its share. The Howard Theatre was to pay the costs of all advertising, which was to be borne equally. The Howard Theatre claims that it lived up to its part of the contract, but the Ethel Waters Company refused to play at the Howard Theatre after last Wednesday night. The Ethel Waters Company, the theatre declares received one-half of the gross receipts for the three daily performances on July 19, 20 and 21. ATTUCKS TO HAVE FIRST RUN PICTURES The Attucks Theatre is ever alert in keeping pace with the times and bending all efforts in giving its patronage the best the movie studios have to offer in the line of first-run pictures and in order to live up to this established precedent, Mr. Kelley, secretary and manager of the popular playhouse, left Wednesday evening for Washington, where he will dicker with representatives of the Marcus Lowe Theatrical Corporation. The success of this trip means that the Attucks will get some of the best pictures procured by Metro-Golden-Mayne, a company of which it is an official. It also means that all first-run pictures run by Lowe's State Theatre here will be run at the Attucks. The local playhouse is always clean, cool, comfortable and cozy. The best pictures can be seen at nominal prices. The admission admits one to any seat in the house, box, orchestra, balcony or gallery.

C. star has hit upon the solution to give the Baltimore fans the long desired winning ball team. After getting off to a good start with the players who were in Baltimore uniform when Ben arrived at that town the team cracked and began a slide to the cellar. It was then that Ben convinced the owners that a little house cleaning among the players would be in order to help the Sox get off the skids. Ben went out and dug up "Pearlie Johnson" off the. Philadelphia lots and from his performance to dat he looks like a real find at shortstop. Rubs. Yokley, the rookie pitcher is taking his turn with the regular boxmen and delivering the goods. Then the swipe the brought Mack Eggleton on bury him in the box. Bury him in the Sox an appropriate battery. But the chief item that "Brother Ben" is, is harping on, is the fact that the morale, of the Baltimore team is soaring and despite the individual ability that has been lost to the club, the Sox are a much better balanced ball club with a uniform will to win. Ert Bolden's *Hildalo club*, three time pennant winners, who got off on the wrong foot in the present race have been showing *reversal* day and Tuesday.

Oscar Charleston pulled Corbett off the mound in the first inning of the opening game. Beckwith and Johnson hit homers. LANGFORD AND MCVEY DRAW (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, J-ul-y 28—Wolcott Langford, local welter-weight; surprised his many admirers and boosted stock here Saturday afternoon at the White Sox Park when he held Jack McVey of New York to a draw in a ten round bout. Langford carried the first to McVey throughout the battle and won the majority of the early rounds. McVey made a strong finish displaying his boxing skill that has won for him the reputation of being Latoz's leading rival for the Welterweight crown, but was unable to overcome the margin that Langford had piled up in the earlier rounds. Seaweed industries are common in Japan. of form in the past two weeks and now are pressing the leaders. The chief trouble that menaced the Philadelphia entry was the lack of hitting by players who have been real threats with the willow around the Eastern loop. The unusual occurrence at least five men falling into a slump at the same time accounted for the Hildale team placing around fifth position. Of course, the loss of Rube Currie to the pitching staff took away some of the effectiveness on the defense, but the other hurlers have been coming through in fine style and but for the lack of base hits in hard contests, the world's champs would very likely be out in front by a good margin. Dashing. Dick Lundy, the youthful pilot of the Atlantic City team, is out to win with spurs the first season as a manager in the league. The Bacharach Giants have not run their string of league victories to ten straight games; moved up above Hildale and were responsible for toppling the second-placed Rats Henderson, Red Grier and Lefty Luther Farrell have been turning in victories with marked regularity and the way it looks now, the country's famous seashore resort will have to be reckoned with for top honors.

Prior to the recent Birmingham, series the Ads boasted of a perfect record. The Louisiana hurling staff is in fine shape and the pitching is all that could be expected. Supporting the moundmen is a group of fielders and hitters that ranks with the best and according to the New Orleans fans and the team the Ads are pennant bound. The offensive strength of the clan is centered around the home run king Parnell, however, he isn't the only slugger on the Ads' roster, Laurant, Benjamin, Roth and Rousell are hitting well above the .500 mark. Following closely in the wake of the League leaders are the Albany Giants, the Birmingham Barons and the Memphis Red 'Sox, with the Nashville' Elites making a game fight to displace one of the "first divisions." Just as predicted the race is hot and every team in the loop is batting hard to win the coveted gonfalon. Upsets are expected daily and the honor of leading the league is liable to change anytime as the margin, between the four leading contenders, is scant. Ranking under the disappointment of losing the first half. Big Bill Gatewood, and his Albany Giants are out to wreak vengeance upon the other teams. Albany is the "Baby City" of the circuit, but has a real team as it indulges by the record of the first half of the season. Gatewood boys are going at top speed and "are heeded for the top," according to his declaration, so watch their smoke!

The champion's crown was not at stake in this fight. In the third round of this affair, Flowers was floored for a count of seven by right to the right, but was able to stand the fast pace set by the sailor, who tried vainly to put over the sleeping pitcher. Flowers came through in grand style, outboxing outpunching, outslugging and outgeneraling his opponent nearly over the entire distance. Flowers was conceded seventh of the ten rounds, while Huffman was given two and one was left undeided. Wild swings and haymakers were the features of this seto, with the champion having the best of this as in other departments of the scrap. As result of some of these pile-driving whacks, Flowers came out of the fight sporting badly damaged equipment, resembled a white Huffman's feet, resembled a white cathedral eating raw liver. The champion weighed 1.67 the champion the paddle the bout, and the sailor scaled 171, 1-2. PRIESTLY TO COACH XAVIER ELEVEN PRIESTLY TO COACH XAVIER ELEVEN [By. Associated Negro.

LAIRD DENIES LINCOLN BOARD WAS GAGGED DR. LAIRD DENIES LINCOLN BOARD WAS GAGGED (Continued from Page-One) now we need a man who in addition to being sympathetic to the work of Lincoln, and to the highest ideals of the Colored people and in having fact and wisdom sufficient to deal with students and with the faculty upon which rests the work within the University must be able to go out and by his personality and gifts of speech, make the people see the greatness of this work and the claim it has on their benevolence. I am friendly to all the members of faculty at Lincoln. I am interested in the highest welfare of your people; and have always been associated with those who sought their elevation. But in my experience in administering educational institutions, I have not seen very much success follow the election of a member of faculty to the Presidency of that Institution. There are many reasons why a President should not have been associated previously with the institution. To Dr. Laird's lotter Dr. Roberts voyled, as follows: "More than a year ago I came to Philadelphia uninvited, and sought a conference with you. At that time I attempted to make it clear to you that the Alumni Association wished to co-operate with the Board of Trustees—that we loved Lincoln University, and wanted to help promote her best interests by interpreting to you the ideals, ambitions and desires of the Alumni and members of our race. In similar manner a committee representing the Alumni Association appeared at their own request before your Board, making a plan that the man chosen by an educator of proven ability, and of course necessarily a good administrator, at the same time possessing the inter-nacial attitude that recognizes and practices the Christian principle of the brotherhood of man. Our only other request was that representation be given the Negro on the Board of Trustees.

BRO THE HUB'S ANNUAL CLEAN SWEEP SALE IS NOW IN PROGRESS THE HUB'S ANNUAL CLEAN SWEEP SALE IS NOW IN PROGRESS The Hub's annual "clean sweep summer sale" is in full swing, and as is customary with that store at this season of the year, what is regarded as some of the finest obtainable bargains in men's and boys' clothes of the Hub high quality are available to the public. The Hub store is an institution in this city. Longer than the life of the present generation the firm has served the people of this vicinity with male's apparel that has won distinction for its high quality, and at the same time the store has earned a merited reputation for its uniform courtesy and fair dealing with all patrons of all classes. For a number of years the store was located on Main St. On that thoroughfare it had become so much of a landmark, that when the announcement was made that the store would move its most sentimental patrons felt that the change would rob the store of some of its traditions. The move to its Granby street location was made some couple of years ago, in a most commodious and somely prepared building. The change not only heightened the store, but its beautiful appointments, won the immediate appreciation of the old customers. At present the Hub store is one of the most handsomely appointed men's clothing emporiums in the South. The colored people of this city have long regarded the Hub as one of the big down-town stores where their trade is welcomed and appreciated. It has been the policy of the establishment to make this fact felt among its colored customers, and the truth is that the name Hub is mentioned uptown with a peculiar attachment not felt toward all big stores here. On page seven of this paper the Hub's summer sale is announced in detail. Some of the goods are marked at prices unobtainable on merchandise of like quality in the local market, it is believed. Thrifty mom, father and mothers will most certainly visit the store during this sale. BUSINESS BRIEFS Q. What is the most important thing which has happened to affect the world's business within the last twenty-five years? A. The greatest happening of the first quarter of this century has not been the developing of the radio, or the perfection of the airplane, it has been the decided elevation of the Moral Standard in Business. Some call this development recognition of equal rights of buyers and sellers, some speak of it as the "spirit of service"; some put it in terms of the formulation by business and for business of recognized standards and codes, some analyze it as the desire and willingness of business concerns to exchange ledger experience—whatever we call it it has resulted in a higher Moral Standard for Business and the men and women engaged in it. A few years back, the average business connated niggardillin cess, sharp practices, the tendency to fleece each customer out of as much money as possible—all the traffic would bear. The average merchant had several prices for his merchandise—what the cust o mer eventually paid for it depended on his "jewing" down ability. Today, we have arrived at that stage that every business of standing makes it an axiom that no transaction is a good transaction unless it results in advantage and satisfaction for the buyer as well as the seller. The old adage "Let the buyer beware" has been plantied by "Let the customer seek out a reliable house and rely upon that house for the quality of the commodity he buys."

CLARK, President INDIANA JOHNSON, Secretary Enlarging purposes # NOTICE To whom it may concern the husband of Mrs. Mandolina Wright Jackson, do hereby deny that I have discussed the moral standing of my wife to Rev. C. P. Madison at any time during the interviews with him during the last thirty days, or at any time since has been my privilege to serve with him. The few conversations had with Reverend C. P. Madison, were concerning three points, namely: First—The lack of cooperation of the part of my wife in carry-on on our flight or by other means. Second—Insubordination on her part in not carrying out his orders; and Third—I told him that under the circumstances that he was the one that was keeping her hand on his shoulder, if they were introduced by him, and the third and last, he myself. Respectfully submitted. N. H.

Another witness gave the alleged slayer a good character but stated he had heard stories both ways. John Latton told the court that Pickler had told him that Cranford whipped the prisoners with a heavy strap. According to the statements of M. B. Boyd, he had been told by Dr. Lentz that Cranford worked two of his Negro prisoners to death. The State introduced a witness who testified that the Negroes were whipped "worse than ever I saw any man whipped before or since." James Terry and James Howell who are alleged to have died as a result of the cruelties of Cranford and for whose death the chaingang boss is being tried, asked for shade when they were ill, but only received severe beatings meted out by their boss, was the testimony of Ed Roberts, a former convict in Men's Sweet Orr Overalls $1.95 Value $1.59 $2.50 Value $1.89 $5.00 Overalls $3.79 Boys' Base- ball Suits $1.35 Values 99c the charge of Cranford. Being so badly maltreated as to render them unable to eat their food, they were subjected to the lash of the tyrant, the witness said. He also stated that, later, he saw Cranford knock over Terry with a stick and after he fell, Cranford "stomped on his face, making a skinned place "about as large as a half-dollar." The number of blows the two men received, the witness estimated to be between 20 and 30 and a hickory stick was used. Cranford also "jobbed" the stick in Terry's mouth, the witness further stated. Roberts had signed an affidavit to the effect that Cranford was good to his convicts and when asked his reason for signing this said: "Did he ever hit you?" he was asked. "No," said Roberst. "but he kicked me so hard I couldn't sit down for a week," Roberts added. A host of character witnesses were used by both the State and the defense.

Archdeacon James S. Russell. His was the faith that moves mountains. It has moved mountains, mountains of ignorance. Discouragement of thousands who might never have raised themselves from the blind gropings of the uninfected has vanished. In its face has come hope, and a sense of direction in those upon the influence of St. Paul has fallen. Two solitary persons, thirty-seven years ago, received from the then infant institution, the first diploma granted byit. Last May a graduating class of 160 members, from all departments of instruction, Normal, High School, Trade School, and Junior School, symbolized forcibly the extent of St. Paul's growth since its foundation thirty-sight year ago. The school began operations with three teachers and less than a dozen students, four buildings large and small, and three acres of land in 1888. In 1926 it has graduated over one thousand, and eight thousand have matriculated since it doors were opened. The school owns now a total of 1600 contiguous acres, sixty odd buildings, all electric lighted and mostly all heated by steam, boasts of an annual enrollment exceeding six hundred; including students Norfolk Journal and Guide from twenty-six of these United States, Porto Rico, Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica and even far-off Africa. This is not the story of St. Paul's origin and achievement. It is, the foregoing, an indicative mention of what it began with in 1888 and what it has in 1926. Beginning in October, under the forward program of the school a building campaign will be inaugurated in which a half million approximate will be expended. The worth of St. Paul is not measured in its buildings' nobility; something of a gracious lie lies in its influence good will, in the quality of its graduates and in the social, moral, religious, and economic uplift done by it. St. Paul's Founder Born A Slave Arendaeon Russell was born in Mecklenburg county, in 1857, as a slave boy. One need not relate the fact that little less than unflagging determination on a set goal could have raised him from the lowly realm of a slave to the headship of "the largest monarchy and educational institution under the auspices of the Episcopal Church in the world for its colored world, and also one of its kind institutions of its kind in America for the education of Norwegian youth of both sexes." A brief account of the founder's life serves the dual purpose of relating his and the school's history. Many handicaps were overcome by the Archdeacon in his efforts to secure an education. "When thru the interest of friends, says Mr. W. H. Haines, "he was advised to go to Hampton Institute he was so poor that his winter suit had to be made from cloth woven by his grandmother on a community loom. His devoted mother made this, his first suit, and so proud he was to have an ideal suit. Leaving he met the branch Theological Seminary of Virginia at Peterton School, now Bishop Payne Divinity School, at the same time commencing his literally training in St. Stephen's Normal School, under the principalship of the Rev. (Maj.) Giles Buckner Cooke, founder and principal. Me while "Major," Cooke, one of the new surviving members of Gen. Robert E. Lee's staff, was rector NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1926 of St. Stephen's Church and he used young Russell as his lay reader, which proved of great help to the latter. It was at Petersburg that he first met the estimable young woman, Virginia Morgan, his future wife and devoted helpmeet; at that time a teacher in St. Stephen's Normal School. Upon finishing his course he was ordained to the Deaconate by Bishop Whittle, in St. Stephen's Church, Petersburg, and assigned as Missionary to Brunswick and Mecklenburg counties. One week after his ordination he came to Lawrenceville to take up his work. He unprepossessed task was hard to imagine. There was no church and hardly a beaker of discouraged and disheartened communicants. Prejudice was rampant and public opinion indifferent; if not actually hostile. The hill on which the shrubry now stands was a riot of shrubry and tangled undergrowth, part of it being an old neglected burying ground. The people were poor and for the most part ignorant. Schools were few and far between and social standards almost nil. This was the environment into which he arrived one cold March night, the 16th, after a long, cold, disagreeable drive of two thousand miles from Dumfries to the nearest railroad station. His young wife, Virginia Morgan Russell, now translated, followed him nine months later. Together they took up the hard work of a pioneer missionary. Their first effort was to build a church. This was done and a parish school established in the vestry room with young Mr. Russell and his wife as teachers. Soon the generosity largely of Dr. Saul Philadelphia made this possible, and it was named after him, the "Saul Building." It contained three rooms and three teachers were employed. The school grew so rapidly in numbers that soon even the Saul Building was inadequate. At Last Came The Opportunity "The necessity for a new building seemed opportune for putting into effect a scheme over which the Archdeacon had long meditated and often prayed—the establish- ment of a Normal School for boys and girls, giving a good English education, coupled with a useful trade of some kind, based on a thorough Christian and moral training. His decision was influenced by a piece of land coming on the market at this time for $1,000. He had no money, but abundant faith. He went to the owner of the land and told him he had no money, but desired to purchase the land, stating his purpose and plan of payment by giving his own notes. It was a tense moment in his career. The owner said nothing at first; only looked him over carefully. Evidently his appraisal was satisfactory, as he agreed to the proposition. The land was purchased, the next step was to erect a building. His purpose and not a dollar pledged. But with the faith characteristic of him he went right ahead and let contracts for building and lumber. This was July 2, 1888. Three days after, a Duluth, Minnesota, friend sent five dollars, the first contribution to the Normal School, September 24, 1888, the Normal School was opened in the Saul Building.* * * In 1890 the school was incorporated. Discriminates Against No Denomination Under this Act of incorporation the school came under the management and control of a board of trustees. We are told in the catalogue that by mutual agreement entered into March 11, 1907, between the trustees of St. Paul and the trustees of the American Church Institute for Negroes, an organization created by the Board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church in behalf of educational work among the Negroes of the South, the American Church Institute became visitor to the school. While awfully a Church institution, St. Paul does not discriminate against any denomination, as it has instructors and teachers representing several different denominations on its faculty. This faculty numbers at present sixty-one, many of whom have given service extending over ten to twenty years.

Four Hours Ride From Norfolk In requires about four hours for the visitor to reach Lawrenceville by train from Norfolk. Out of the abominable dreadiness and dirtiness of the ride, as one draws near the town, can be seen the St. Paul Campus spread on low rolling hills. The rugged freshness of the view is reviving. One's interest is sharpened and the desire is stronger to be out and on the grounds. In a few days much information is harvested and infinite impressions received.

Several years ago the state was redistricted in such a manner as to group the majority of its darker citizens into two congressional districts, the second and fourth. We are told that the "originators of this piece of political surgery nicknamed the delimited part the 'Black Belt', a name which has ever since stuck to it. As a political equation, the Black Belt has long since ceased to be of importance, but as a social and economic factor it remains a problem of the first order.

No part of the state is more in need of uplifting agencies; such as good schools, churches, better social environment, better homes, better farms, and increased wage earning capacities thru efficiency of labor and better production methods. The other side of this problem is that no part of the state is so lacking in these essentials to progress, healthy growth and development. This condition emphasizes the importance and necessity of the work * * * carried on by the school." Trades Once Apprentice Work Principal Russell had in mind the giving of a useful trade along with Academic and Christian training. In the early days of St. Paul's career, trades were along purely apprentice lines.

Pleads For Bars To Be Let Down In Trade Union (By Dr. Peyton News Service) Gary, Ind., July 30—Major Griffin, a member of the Hod Carrier's local No. 81, pleads that "Race bars in Trade Unions he let down." He says: "I fired for the Southern Railway Company about nine years. In the latter part of 1898 the organization of the Railroad Brotherhood of Engineers asked the firemen how they would like to join the brotherhood—they just began at the time to organize the brotherhood in the South. They colored a single failed to cooperate with the brotherhood at that time (although a number of colored men were firing throughout the southern states). And what are the conditions now?" "The doors of the brotherhood are closed to the colored people. There are just about one-third of the colored people that were firing before are working at present. While the white firemen are working, two of them on a train,—a colored man has to work by himself, doing the job of two men, and gets just a little more than half of what the two white firemen are getting. "We must organize and insist that the doors of the unions, which are now closed to us, be opened. "There must be no divisions among workers because of the color of their skin. "Workers, both white and colored, can improve their conditions only when they stand together." RALEIGH Raleigh, N. C.—Cato L.

HERTFORD THEWALL STREET JOURNAL TALKS ABOUT PORTERS Financial Publication Gives The Lowly Sleeping Car Servant The 'Once Over' In A Recent Issue. The Wall Street Journal, the widely known judicial authority published here has just issued an interesting analysis of an investigation which they have made on the wages paid the Pullman Porter. Says the Journal: "The Pullman Company employing more than 10,400 porters is among the largest if not the largest employer of colored people in this country. Considering the class of work the porters are the best paid working men in the country with an income much larger than that of the average United States workman. "His minimum wage has been increased 163 per cent in the last 3 years, it is today 141 per cent higher than the 1916 wage, and is even 23.75 per cent above the wartime peak wage fixed by the government. Minimum monthly wages, effective February 15, last, ranged from $72.50 to $90.50, according to nature of the work and amount of responsibility, while maximum rates paid porters of more than 15 years' service, range from $83.50 to $104. In "real wages, it is computed the average porter was 43 per cent better off in March, 1926, than in July 1914. Tips A Big Part of Income Annual wages range from $870 to $1,248. Wages and total income however, are far from being the same. To wages should be added the income from tips, which, while not salary, good porters regard not as degradation but as recognition of friendly, close personal service. If last year 22,470,751 sleeping car passengers had tipped the porter a quarter, and if 13,055,052 seat passengers had each tipped a dime, tips would have totaled $6,923,193, an average of $55 a month for porters in actual service last year. As a matter of fact, a fair average of tips is probably $75 a month, the state department of the company when paying porters on company and company work. Addition of $900 a year tips to the minimum and maximum wages makes indicated annual incomes $1,770 and $2,143 respectively. These indicated annual earnings are augmented normally by payment for overtime. Actual payroll figures 3,386 porters in March, 1928 showed an overtime excess of 10% above the basic rate. The average porter's income is above that average, the number of uniformed employees. There are 2,300 porters who have been in Pullman service 10 years and more who incidentally receive the free uniforms a year. There are 3,811 porters who own their homes or more than 700 in excess of the number in the service 10 years. Some own considerably more real estate than their homes. Pullman porter home ownership is more than 35 per cent of the total of full time porters against an average home ownership of 37.4 per cent among city families in this country in 1920. A recent canvass shows 1,401 porters own automobiles—not all Fords at that. Many Own Pullman Stock. Two hundred and thirty three porters have owned Pullman stock for years, and last January 1,089 porters subscribed for stock at $140 a share. In the last three years Pullman company has paid $277,035 in pensions and death benefits, and rendered financial assistance to hundreds of porters to help tide over family emergencies. A large proportion of Negro lawyers, doctors and other professional men passed to their degrees through the Pullman door of opportunity, in their employment during college vacations as temporary porters. It is no exaggeration that the Pullman's steady employment has been a great economic factor in the material development of the colored population of the United States." RICHMOND. VA.

Likewlse, St. Paul, for nine years, furnished ice and elec- trie Tights to the town of Law- renceville, and ice to the Norfotk and Danville branch of the South- ern Railway, under contract. Elev- cn hundred acres of St. Paul's property were originally a. slave plantation, on which today there Aue several old straw and gray mud houses built by the slaves. ‘The campus proper embraces about forty acres on which ther: fre spacious drill grounds, teuch: er’s park, tennis courts for both young men and young women; beautitul lawas, warm comfortable buildings, and a large dining room with modern conveniences. Expenses $100,000 Per Year ‘Twenty-five or thitty years ago the cost of running St. Paul's School was in the neighborhood of $30,000 a year. With better trained’ workers, better cquipment and buildings, “ineveased campus and so forth, the school is. nov spending from $85,000 to $190,060 a year.

H. Turner, St. Paul's busines: manager, “that the problem of in ‘dustrial cducation should be throws upon Negro schools entirely. 1 rightfully belongs to industry, it self; and industry should pay’ fo it.

They seem to know what they want, Only a few can be taken, and as a rule, only as day pupils, where they re given certain acadamic training, preparatory to trade, By the time these reach the standard vequired, for trades, many of them change their minds. ‘Their desire then is to complete high school, and before they complete high school, they want to yo to collene, You ask them what they intend doing, and the reply is, ‘Stuy law, medicine, business, or 1 don’t know.’ While this is not true of all, it is nevertheless true of the niajority of students of this class. ‘There is absolutely nothing wrong swith this, if the race can continue to support ineveasing numbers, of professional m:n with decreasing numbers of wealth providers, I ds not mean that x boy should give up his academic studies, when he takes a trade; but T do mean that the industrial emphasis should be so strong by the school teaching the trade, that academic education would be looked up as a means of greater industrial accomplishment, St. Paul Meets Problem Sue- cessfully- “St. Pan's has shown how to meet this problem successfully.

Some neighbors will borrow everything, including trouble. The hard thing about making money last is making it first. Being popular doesn't leave much time for making real friends.

Chain Gang Outrages Again Chain gang outrages have come to the front again of late. This time the progressive state of North Carolina is the scene of them. N. C. Cranford, a gang boss, has been on trial at Albemarle for the murder of two Negroes, but incidentally many outrages other than these, artocious as they are shown to have been, have come to light. Many former convicts were called and gave damaging testimony as to gang abuses and some residents of Albemarle also gave testimony about monstrous treatment and assaults. All the evidence went to show that very grave outrages had been committed and that Cranford was a very brutal man. North Carolina can afford to wipe out the chain gang system. Its people are too intelligent and progressive to tolerate it. And it can afford to make an example of such creatures as Cranford so that others in authority may be restrained from abusing authority. Senator. Borah Wants A New Party Senator William A. Borah, of Idaho, one of the outstanding, but far from being always an upstanding, statesman of the times, has allowed his zeal for Prohibition enforcement to throw him off stride, insofar as to incline him to want a new party, although in a former deliverance he declared he was not a candidate for the Presidency and could defy the Negro vote by declaring that the enfranchisement of the Negro was one of the greatest mistakes in the history of the country. That is all he knows about it. In his address at Augusta, Ga., he said that there has never been "the moral force and determination which is necessary to enforcement" of the Volstead Act, and that instead of "modification of the Volstead Act we have nullification of the constitution,"—"and to preach nullification is to preach lawlessness, ancient and persistent enemy of all republics." The New York World, an independent Democratic newspaper, reminded Senator Borah that he had nothing to say in his Augusta address of the nullification of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments by the Southern States, their legislation and public opinion, working as to those amendments irresistibly for nullification. We are reminded that Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and Jimmies G. Blaine were kept out of the Presidency because of juggling with the Negro and his problems. Liquor enforcement has forced its way into politics and has brought much division of sentiment among partisans, insofar that members of the Congress who are facing a re-election just now are in a very upset state of mind. They do not know how they are going to fare in the elections. And many of them are sure to be surprised when we have the results of the Congress voting in November. Is There a Communist Movement Among Us? We often harbor movements and other things without knowing it and are surprised when our attention has been called to the fact. And sometimes the suggestion that we are doing it has no more foundation than an "insubstantial pageant faded," as Shakespeare, the master-word painter, would phrase it. Now, take the question, "Is there a communist movement among us?" Nearly every intelligent Negro would search himself to answer the question and be unable to do so, because he has not seen in any of his associations any such movement. The United Press has sent the following cablegram which is being broadcast in the United States: "London, July 19—Russian Communists are seeking to organize Communist groups among American Negroes, according to Scotland Yard, which has been investigating the activities of Communists here. The Soviet strategy is alleged to be to induce Negroes playing in local dance halls and night clubs to accept large sums to appear in Moscow, where they would be converted to Communism and then sent to the United States to spread the doctrine." We don't believe a word of it. Scotland. Yard is the headquarters of the British police authorities and famous as such in song and story. If the Russian Communists are really spending large money among our theatrical people in Europe in the effort to make propagandists of them we are sure they will have an easier time in placing the money in that way than in getting any of the subsidized to spread the doctrine in the United States. The American Negro has not shown any disposition to take up with strange doctrines of any kind. It may be a weakness that he has not done so, but the fact remains that he has yet to show any disposition to do so. Col. Cabell's Speech It is essential as well as helpful toward interracial goodwill that we invite white persons of prominence whose views on our difficult interracial problems are known to be hopeful and sympathetic to address audiences of our people from time to time, and for the same reason we should encourage those of our group who either in speech or in song can best interpret our ideals to the other group to take advantage of the opportunities which come their way to appear before white audiences. Happily, in our own city it is frequently possible for us to secure prominent and busy white people, some whose calendar of engagements is usually filled many days in advance, to lay aside other things and accept our invitations to address us on particular occasions. And these speakers, coming to us from time to time, have almost invariably inspired and helped us and have advanced the cause of racial understanding and adjustment. But in the arrangement of these programs the utmost tact should be exercised in the selection of all who are in any way to have anything to do with carrying them out. Particularly should discretion be employed in the selection of the speaker, the one who is to introduce the speaker and the one who is to preside, for it should be borne in mind that the occurrence of any untoward incident in connection with the occasion may serve to frustrate the very purpose aimed at—the promotion of interracial harmony. A case in point was the appearance of Col. George C. Cabell at St. Paul C. M. E. church on last Sunday afternoon. It is plain that Col. Cabell did not deliver the speech he came to deliver, and it is evident that something occurred between the time he arrived at the church and the time he arose to speak that induced him to make the sort of speech he did make. Col. Cabell made references to colored people that his auditors regarded as wholly uncomplimentary and coming with poor grace from their guest. He might have been more restrained in his remarks, out of respect for the feelings of his audience, if nothing more, but it is nevertheless evident that somebody erred in advance of Col. Cabell and thus invited the sort of speech that was received. It comes with poor grace from an invited guest to speak without regard to the feelings of his host, and it comes with equally poor grace for the host to get the guest in his house and then smoke him out on questions the guest had not been forewarned would be discussed. The occurrence of last Sunday afternoon was indeed an unfortunate one, and should have been averted. The Abuse of Credit Buying The present system of installment selling and buying which modern American business methods have evolved, serves to place within reach of the American consumer more necessities, conveniences and luxuries than are enjoyed by the masses of any other people on earth. Our credit plan ramifies into every conceivable avenue of trade, covers practically every mentionable commodity and touches the lives of the peasantry, the proletariat and the aristocracy. In spite of certain recognized evils attendant upon the system, the fact is nevertheless apparent that it embodies a virtue inasmuch as it can be so employed as to enhance the health, happiness and contentment of the people. But there is sharp distinction between the judicious use and the injudicious use of the credit system. It is the failure to recognize or regard this distinction that not only joapardizes the continuity of our modern selling methods but may wreck both the buyer and seller with consequent ruin to the community. Credit stimulates buying; accelerated buying stimulates credit. Here we have action and reverse action ad infinitum gradually leavening toward commercial inflation, and unless the brakes are applied somewhere down the line somebody is likely to head on into an economic catastrophe. For the sake of business stability and for the economic health of the community the alarming tendency of the masses of the people to overburden themselves with credit purchase contracts on luxuries and nonessentials, which in the very nature of their financial circumstances they cannot possibly pay for, should be sternly discouraged. The loose and indiscriminate use of credit is an injury both to the American family and to American business. It ties the nose of the former to the grindstone and starts the latter on the road to bankruptcy. It is a fact that in some homes where the income is a very modest one, there are from one to a dozen or more credit purchase contracts, each calling for a stipulated sum weekly or monthly, while the second parties to these contracts entertain not the faintest hope of being able to meet their demands. Even a casual investigation would have convinced the seller that the prospective buyer could not possibly live up to the contract. It is realized that there are certain es- sentials, or even luxuries which the family in modest circumstances might never obtain were it not for the system of credit plan selling. The system itself is not necessarily a curse. It often proves a blessing. But, like other virtues, once abused it becomes a millstone around one's neck; it ties one's hands and blights the lives of one's dependents. Credit is a lifesaver in the time of financial distress; it should always be based on character and the surest way to safeguard it as reservoir in the time of emergency is to use it wisely. People may buy what they need and must have, and even some of the things they want, on credit if they must but they should visualize the coming due of the payments and contract to do not more than their capacity to do warrants. Credit used unwisely will make the debtor grist in the mill of debt. THE GUIDE POST BY RICHARD H. BOWLING A Sermon In Chickens Two hens had been sitting side by side for three long weeks. In each nest three little chicks had been born, while yet many eggs were still unhatched. For the good of the unborn it was decided to give all the chicks to one hen and leave all the eggs to the other. Soon three more chicks were born. These also, we thought, should be given to the first hen for mothering. Fearful lest she might not receive so cordially these late additions to her family, I put them in one at the little chicks had been born, while yet many eggs were still unhatched. For the good of the unborn it was decided to give all the chicks to one hen and leave all the eggs to the other. Soon three more chicks were born. These also, we thought, should be given to the first hen for mothering. Fearful lest she might not receive so cordially these late additions to her family, I put them in one at the time and stood by to watch the results. With many motherly clucks she welcomed the first two. Then went I to the door of this little world and placed therein the third chick. It was a poor little unfortunate. It had been stopped on. One of its eyes was completely closed. Its head was covered with a great featherless scar. This chick, more than they all, needed the comfort of a hen's call, the warmth of her sheltering body. Then the tragedy. One look at this defenseless creature and she saw that it was somehow different. With a hostile futter she rushed upon it and gave one resounding peck. The blood ran down his already wounded head. Driving off the old hen I tenderly rescued the unwanted chick. What would I do? Retaliate with a judgment of death upon the hard-hearted hen? But she was needed for the raising of the chicks which she loved. They too were young and had yet to face many dangers. Dismiss the incident from mind as a simple necessity in the evolutionary process? Well, I just couldn't. God also looks upon so grievous scenes. His men in their little world misreent fellow men. Some are set up murderously because they are different in status. They are not of a "first family," have not been to college, have neither made nor inherited a fortune. For any one of these things they are not only denied fellowship but even the privileges of attending to achieve. Is this not equally true in the matters of religion, nationality, race, color? Striking differences in any one of these matters is immediately and irrevocably interpreted as inferiority. And then inferiority is condemned to hindrance, humiliation, assault, battery and death. And God sees it all. Why does he not cut off the persecutor? He needs the hard-hearted man of privilege in the doing of other needful work. Is he just resignedly different? No, alas, no. The God that creates also loves. Like one of His preachers minding chickens with a tender heart while vacationing in rural Virginia, he grieves at the hindrance or hurt of anything which he has made. Dodging The Issue From the (Columbus, Ga.) Enquirer-Sun. The Baltimore Sun, discussing a recent decision of the supreme court, presents the facts as follows: Refusal of the Supreme Court to pass on a test case which involved the legality of contracts binding property owners in Washington not to sell homes to Negroes establishes the right to bar them out of prescribed residence districts by this method. The effect of the decision is to leave in force injunctions issued by lower courts preventing such disposal of property where agreement has been entered into not to sell to a certain class or race. The issue has aroused a great deal of controversy in a number of cities. It has intensified racial animosities and from time to time brought about riotous conduct, deplorable from every point of view.* * * The Negroes of this city are entitled to opportunity to acquire good homes to escape from the alleys and slums, to raise their standards of living, to educate their children. They are an integral part of the community. The decision of the supreme court apparently dodges the issue in a test case. The matter, as we understand it, is still left for the lower courts to determine by injunction. As to the rights of Negroes, they should be respected by all, and by none more strictly than the whites who make and enforce the laws. Whether it is illegal for a man owning property in a certain section of a city to sell it to Negroes is a question the supreme court did not determine in its decision, but it merely left in force injunctions that had previously been issued by lower courts. That the races should be segregated in the interest of and for the benefit of each is certain, but this does not mean that the district occupied by the Negroes shall be less sanitary, less healthful, less comfortable than any other section. And it may well be said that if the Negro is willing to pay for such comforts and conveniences as he can buy he is entitled to do so; but there is an unwritten law in the most cities, if not in all of them, that the Negro shall be restricted from residence in certain sections in them, and this rule may extend to business. The two races must live in close proximity to each other, but there is no necessity for them to be next door neighbors; indeed it is better for both that they should not. The intelligent Negro understands this as thoroughly as the white man, and there should be no friction, between them on this account. Borah Blowing Bubblés From The Daily Worker Senator William E. Borah, the best-lunged member of the upper congressional house, delivered a speech last Sunday in Augusta, Georgia, in which he declared that arguments for the nullification of the eighteenth amendment "are practices of the kind that are making a hell of Europe today" and that "Bolshevism in Russia, fascism in Italy, military dictatorship in Poland and nullification in the United States are whelps from the same kennel, barking at the same thing—constitutional government." The senator has allowed his sympathies with the Anti-Saloon League to get the better of his judgment. What has all this got to do with the propaganda of the brewing interests to repeal the eighteenth amendment? Nothing. Borah was talking thru his hat. He delivered his speech in a state with a rather high record for lynching Negroes. We are not aware that this form of murder is constitutional. Yet Borah, in his zeal for the constitution which yet suits the Wall Street rulers of this country, had not a word to say against the favorite Southern outdoor sport of stringing up colored workers. Political Segregation in The North and South BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE We are not sure that segregation is the proper word to use to describe the political insignificance and inconsequences into which the Afro-American partisans have fallen. They have not only been segregated but negated, especially in Southern Republican politics since the spectacular Administration of President Roosevelt, who played fast and loose with the illwhite deathhead and passed it on to the Taft Administration. Political segregation and negation have overtaken the race in the Administration of President Coolidge, who has barely recognized the existence of the Afro-American as a partisan entitled to reasonable consideration in legislation and appointments to office. The attitude of the President towards us is due to our lack of organization as much as to the way the President is built. He has less sentiment in the conduct of public affairs than any other President we have had, and that is saying much when the unsentimentality of President Harrison is recalled. We are not going to amount to anything in politics until we have sufficient organization and competent leadership to compel fair treatment of us. Numbers without organization and leadership do not count for much in war or peace. But we do not fare much better in the North and West as a political force than we do in the South, and for much the same reasons. The New York News grows quite hysterical in pronouncing against the setting up of a dual leadership in the 19th and 21st Assembly districts of Harlem, and a consolidation of the two, as we have a majority of voters in the two have been unable to get a leadership of our own from the white county machine. The News wails: The disaster of this segregation can only be imagined. It would be jim-crowism self-imposed. It would be the establishment of a lily-white Republican party and a jim-crow district in the Empire State." The trouble appears to be in ourselves and not in our stars. Where we have a majority and should elect our own we fail to have the proper organization and leadership and so divide our strength and the white candidate always beats us to the good thing. We cannot hope to win in politics, or anything else, without proper organization and leadership of our own.

DIMON THE FA THE GREAT AMERICAN DRAWBACK CREDIT PLAN Willey OHN COHN THE FAR-FLUNG COLOR LINE By KELLY MILLER I am on a little journey thru the Middle West. My itinerary involves several smaller towns in Pennsylvania and Ohio as well as a few points on the Great Lakes. As one goes from place to place throughout the country, it is interesting to watch the manifestation on providing of the spirit of race prejudice under varying conditions. No one has yet isolated and defined race prejudice. We know neither its substance nor its essence, but merely its manifestation. Like electricity, we know of a certainty what its effects are, how it may be put in operation, but of its elusion self-stuff, we know absolutely nothing. The juxtaposition of the white and non-white races provokes race prejudice. It seems to flow from the stronger to the weaker. If there be a reverse current, its flow is not so easily discerned. The universality of its manifestation whenever the provocative conditions are produced, leads to the conclusion that it is the outcome of circumstances which to some considerable extent can be manipulated and controlled. There is something in the conditioning of races to which it readily responds. Some say that it is of the nature of an innate antipathy; others claim that it is merely the result of inspired animosity. How far it can be modified is a question of dispute. But that it is modifiable is clearly proved by observation and experience. The optimist hopes to wipe it out altogether. The pessimist says it is as lasting as human nature, and can never be removed. But cial Intolerance" was a powerful reminder to the users of the term "nigger" and "darkey" that the application of these words to us is not desirable. But as able as was this masterpiece, it seems like Homer's Illiad to have suddenly ceased, for it did not include the terms "aunty" and "uncle" which are equally obnoxious to us. And the most lamentable part about the "aunty" and "uncle" terms is the fact that they are employed to a large extent by white people who mean well towards our people, and have a kindly feeling for the race. As to white strangers who thus address us, such usage of these words by them would be humorous were they not so insulting. Even at the expense of our humiliation, it is enough to provoke a smile to hear a sixty-year old white person address a twenty-year old Negro as "uncle." Funnier still a twenty-year old Nordic address a fifty-year old colored man as boy. Still funnier is the fact that every white person who thus addresses a colored person thinks he is paying the latter a compliment. But the contrary is true and this fact many a white merchant has found out and realized the loss of a sale thereby. THOMAS C. LYKES Norfolk, Va. PETER B. IT AMERICAN D CREDIT PL AR-FLUNG COL By KELLY MILLEP these are mere philosophical reflections. We know what we have seen and can bear faithful testimony of the things which have come under our own experience. Let us now consider the operation of this prejudice in isolated communities where the Negro constitutes only a small fraction of the general community. My first stop was Greensburg, Penn. This is a town of several thousand souls with a sprinkling our some 2,000 colored folk. There is no sharp racial antagonisms or discriminations. The schools are common to all. The Negro is treated with kindness where ever he is treated at all. There is no semblance of social intimacy. The Negro element has its own community and social life. There are several Negro churches. Resident tial segregation has not risen to public consciousness. The Negro lives wherever he purchases or rents. There is only such Negro settlement as likeness of condition, means and social affiliation would normally bring about. He is employed mainly as domestics, job workers and detached individual laborers. The field for professional service is painfully narrow. The young people who pass through the high schools must seek other communities for further education also for forms of work for which their superior education fits them. The people are comfortable livers, well-ordered and in the main adjusted to conditions, but are almost wholly without outlook. Such seems to be the fortune or fate of black belts in hundreds of such communities which one finds throughout the middle western country. My next appointment was in Steubenville, Ohio. This is a city of forty thousand souls, one tenth of whom are colored. The race relations are somewhat similar to those prevailing in Greensburg, except that this is an older and better established community. The colored people have a little better outlook and breathing space. Negroes find about the same range of employment, except that a number are employed in the blast furnace department by reason of their better ability, as it is assumed, to endure the excessive heat. I lectured here under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P., which manitains a thriving organization. The crying need of the colored people is some central community agency which appeals to the race as a unity. As matters now stand the churches furnish the only communal life. At best they are not able to fill the entire circle of community needs. There are a number of splendid people in this city. They live very well. Their homes are surprisingly well appointed as compared with the race in the larger cities. The professional man is here. There is need of two or three times the present number to make the community life more worth while. Dayton, Ohio is the next stop. Dayton furnishes a most interesting sociological study. There are to be found here about one hundred and fifty thousand whites and twelve thousand colored people in this city. These figures give us. numbers sufficient in size and proportion to furnish the full manifestation of race prejudice. Indeed we find every phase of this feeling showing itself, in open or covert form. The issue of separate schools is uppermost. The colored citizens have pushed the matter through the state courts and have won the final verdict that the laws of Ohio do not contemplate any scholastic separation. And yet the issue is still a live one. What can not be be accomplished by law is sought in circumvention of the law. The basic issue is one of residential segregation. There seems to be a thinly concealed purpose to have the colored people passively to consent to occupy that section of river lying west of the bridge. Those who manipulate realty values seem confident of accomplishing the result without any desire of law of municipal ordinance. Now it so happens that this is as beautiful a section of the city as any other and as well favored by way of improvements and residential advantages. This is destined to become the Harlem of Dayton. The fine residences, churches and other accommodation is which the wealthiest whites appointed for themselves twenty-five years age will shortly fall to the Negro through inheritance. I did not hear of any outbreak or agitation between the races on the question of segregation; but the separation is taking place by law of racial gravitation. I am amused to watch the whimsicalities of race prejudices as it operates in different communities. In Greensburg, the colored people were accorded the use of the park on certain days, but were not permitted to use the swimming pool. In Dayton I saw the colored and white boys swimming with seeming satisfaction in the same pool in the city park. The colored citizens are accorded the dancing pavilion every Monday; and may make special reservation at other times by special arrangements. There is no distinction in the city hospital, white and colored patients are assigned to space in the order of arrival and needs. I visited the track meet in the stadium of the University of Dayton. All of the play organizations took jart. There was absolutely no discrimination. The Negro boys took part in each event, and won the palm in due proportion to their numbers. But one thing was obvious. Whenever a colored athlete won, there was absolutely no applause. But when a white boy was victor the stadium rung with hurrahs. Was this good sportsmanship or was it the seeming discrimination due to the fact that few colored took the pains to attend the event and cheer the swarthy contestants on to victory? I said that race prejudice is whimsical. Because it slightly differs in one place from another does not justify us in assuming any superior claims or boasts of the particular community. It is as capricious as the whims of a goat. What it does today is no guarantee that it will continue to do so tomorrow. The Negro should never boast of local exemptions from prejudice. They are merely emphatic privileges, which though conceded today, may be cancelled tomorrow.
