POLICE PROBE DROWNING OF BERKLEY BOY Coroner's Investigator Admits That Fatality Looks Like It Has Some Ugly Angles To It. Detective Leon Nowitzky, coroner's investigator, is not certain that the drowning of James Kale 13, of 30 Walker avenue, Berkley Saturday morning while playing in the water at the Berkley Oil docks, foot of Seventh street with a group of other boys was purely accidental. Upon the detective's request, who desired more time to continue an investigation into the case, the inquest in the drowning was continued until Tuesday of next week by Coroner MacDonald who on Tuesday of this week held inquests into the deaths of several victims of fatal accidents during the past week. Kale could not swim, did not venture out into the water with the other boys. But, according to the story told by those who witnessed the drowning, John Lee, a 18-year old boy, took Kale by the feet and pulled him out, while the former frantically protested, "Please, please, please don't, I can't swim." After getting the younger boy into deep water, Lee is said to have pushed him under and made no effort to rescue him, merely laughing at his victim's plight. Upon hearing this story, Detectives went to the Lee boy's home, but could not locate him. The youth's mother told the officer that she had not seen her son since he left school. He tried to be tried, although the officers are said to have gone there 24 hours later. Mr. Nowitzky frankly admits that it looks to him like the drowning has some ugly angles to it, and does not seem to fit in with the usual boyish pranks in the water.

Boy Friend Too Generous Dear Naomi: We, the girls, should consider it wonderful honor to have some one so kind as you to whom we may carry our little love affairs. I am indeed very grateful for such a glorious opportunity. I am girl of 18. I have been going with boy for three years. I met him at the boarding school where I have been a student. I am now home for a vacation. He never allows a single time to pass without writing to me, and I am very painful in answering. I am really in love with him and I believe he cares a great deal for me. At the close of school he brings me home. He has had every chance in the world to act disorderly, but not one time he has done so. In every way he has proved himself a real gentleman. He takes great pride in trying to make me happy. If he hears me say that I would like to have something, he makes it his business to get it for me, though I don't approve of a boy always giving to a girl. Do you? When I return to school should I continue to go with him? I do love him, Naomi, and I hope some day to become his ideal wife. He asked me something concerning that matter. I wonder if he was serious. Naomi, please be frank and tell me if I have made a mistake. Please answer these questions: 1. Is it harm to take money from a boy? 2. If a boy asks a girl if she needs anything should she say and tell what? 3. Should a girl sit on her lovers lap? 4. If a boy respects a girl after she kisses him is he a real gentleman? Will a boy love one girl and so with another? Anxious Billie. Dear Anxious Billie: I am glad to know that you think to much of your friend and that he has proved to be so worthy.

As long as he treats you alright it will be O. K. to accept his company. Well, girlie, you know the boys are anxious to kiss the girls and if you play fast and loose with your kisses, why don't be surprised when they act slack later on. Try not to mention too often before your friend that you desire things. It may sound like a hint. 1. Yes, bad habit, don't start it. 2. I should think you would know it is not the boy's business to supply your needs. Now, when he wants to give ice cream, books and flowers and candy that is sufficient. 4. How are you going to tell that he respects you after this kissing? He naturally does not turn right off, but some times, turns when you least expect it. A Hobby Needed Here Dear Naomi: I am a married woman. I married quite young and without a doubt I know I loved my husband and I am sure that he loved me. The first three years of my marriage were filled with joy and happiness, but the fourth year my troubles began. My health began to fail and I was sick most of the time. My husband began to be very unpleasant to me, also to slap and push me around and some times make me leave home. This treatment lasted about nine months. I treated him so nice and kind thru it all that he said he felt ashamed and begged my pardon and since then he has treated me fine. Now, Naomi, I want you to help me and tell me what I can do to get new life, for I was treated so badly by him that my love grew cold for him and though he is nice to me my heart is broken; my life it seems is dead. I am not satisfied any where I go, at times I would rather die than live, I am so lonely at times it seems my heart will burst. He sent me to New York for awhile. I was so miserable I had to come home. Now, tell me how to get rid of this miserable feeling, please, and what will make me happy. There is no other man in my life. I am true to him and intend to be as long as he and I stay together. Lonesome. Dear Lonesome: Many a wife has experienced the same sensations that you are going through and it will take much will power to conquer your feeling.

But, my dear, take up a new hobby and that will help you some. Try to learn something new: sewing or typewriting or nursing and by the time you do your housework and follow your hobby, you will worry less about your troubles and then you will be in a better frame of mind to see him when he comes in the evening and try to see only his good points and forget the bad ones and remember, my dear, that none are perfect. He has his faults and I am sure you have yours. Write again and I hope you will feel better the next time. Age for Engagement Varies Dear Naomi: I am a girl 17 years of age and in high school. I have been going with a boy nearly three years. We fell out about a month ago. He has been going with another girl. Last week he met me on my way to a store nearby, and spoke to me as usual. I went into the store and as I was coming out of the store I met him again. He asked me if I was angry. He also asked if we could be friends again as we were once. I did not give him any answer but kept walking. He found out then that I did not want to have anything to do with him. Since then he has written me a letter and asked me to forgive him for all he has said or done to make me angry, and would his presence be accepted at my home on the following week, and that he could not love, any other girl but me. Just what do you think of that? Do you think I should accept him as my friend again? Please answer the following questions: 1. How old should a girl be before she accepts an engagement ring? 2. Do you think it is nice for a boy to tell a girl she looks nice in her clothes? Dear Brown Eyes: It is perfectly alright to accept him for your friend again if you wish to have him, although I would not take him just because he asked me, but if you want him why I feel you have punished him nicely and poor fellow, I am sure he thinks he has had enough. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Arab woman in traditional dress. This is Miss Charlotte A. Carter, formerly of Norfolk, now of New York. Her picture is taken in the costume in which she recently graduated with exceptional distinction. In narrating the accomplishments of students mentioned is seldom made of the parental sacrifice by which those accomplishments are made possible. No account of Miss Carter's brilliant success will be complete without the accompanying account of the idomitable heroism of her plucky little mother. The latter was unstintedly sacrificed her own promising prospects in the interest of her children, whose sole dependence she has been. Posterity will owe a heavy debt to present-day mothers, pre-eminent among whom is the mother of Miss Charlotte and Flossie Carter. In the further pursuit of her education, Miss Carter will major in mathematics, and especially in music, in which she is already quite proficient. By J. RILEY DUNGEE 1. Do not think of taking an engagement ring until you have finished school, so you see you cannot have an age-limit to that as some finish younger than others. 2. Surely that is only a compliment to say that you look nice. Naomi.

Bake in Angel Cake pan, one hour in slow oven (at 325 degrees) applying soda dissolved in water to insect bites to relieve pain and inflammation. To prevent a blister from forming a sore apply a little turpentine. Heat raisins in the oven before seeding. Thye will be much easier to do. Grass clippings are excellent to use when sweeping the rugs or carpets, much better than tea leaves. Windows may be washed quickly by dipping chamois in about two quarts of water, lukewarm, and one cup of vinegar. Wipe chamois and wipe the window as usual which will clean and dry at the same time. A handful of hay in a pail of water will take the smell of paint out of a room. If you have occasion to break a tumbler and desire it to be even, soak a piece of string in turpentine, and it will absorb the break to be, then fill the glass with cold water even with the string—set fire to the string and the glass will snap even with the string. Chased silver may be polished by brushing it thoroughly with whiting, then washing with a little turpentine and soap. Polish with chamois. OLD DOMINION LINE Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc.

One of the number was crowned queen of the day's festivities. A marriage was also solemnized in the old James-town Church, the first to be held there in over 200 years. The thousands of D. P. and Pender's employees, with their families and friends came, from Richmond, Newport News, Hampton and other points in Tidewater. The Richmonds came by way of busses, while the Newport News crowd was picked up by the three boats and the Portsmouth folks made the trip on the Hampton Roads. As to the amount of sandwiches, pies, ice-cream and cake eaten, it would take a very learned mathematician to reach the answer. There was an uncountable number of coca colas, orange crushes, and other bottles of soft drinks quaffed.

Harry Warner and Tex Dampsey met in Madison Square Garden last a Thursday night. The meeting was at the ringside and not a blow was passed. A hand-shake and a friendly greeting featured the meeting. The fight fans, however, gathered to witness Tex Rickard's boxing bill, gave the decision to Wills by a big majority when the ovation accorded the challenger proved greater than that given the champion. This ringside meeting was not on the program and threw a monkey-wrench in Rickard's to prove to Jim Farley that Dampsey was the heilof Gotham fight fans. The plan of Rickard was out to the letter and as he lead Dampsey to a ringside seat, the champion was applauded enthusiastically. Scarecely had he taken his seat, pandemonium broke- loose and as promoter and champion looked around much to the discomfiture of the former and the surprise of the latter, they saw Harry Wills and Lew Raymond coming toward them. Wills walked up to Dempsey and they shook hands, greeted each other cordially, and separated. Later as the champions departed from the gate, he bored by the added much to the anger of Rickard who later declared Lew Raymond would be henceforth barred from Madison Songey Garden. The demonstration pleased Jim Farley immensely and he nodded his approval, and looked knowingly. (By The Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 12—This week in the Southern League finds Memphis and Birmingham fighting valiantly for the coveted honors of the loop. The Black Barons have continued the pace set in the first half of the season and have not lost a series during this leg of the race. Combining timely hitting with stellar fielding and effective pitching the Barons have swept over all opposition, including the New Orleans Ads, who have held the leadership since the beginning of the second half of the season. The terrific hitting power of the Memphis has had a telling effect in the games played during the second half, and has usually told Memphis has won another game. So effective has been this offensive that Memphis boasts of a record of having lost only one series and that to Birmingham. Suggs Wins Over Filipino Fighter (By Associated Negro Press.) New York City, Aug. 12—Chick Suggs, selected as the tip-top bantamweight by Tex Rickard, continued his rampage here on Thursday night when he won a decision bout from Pete Sarminio, a Filipino bantam, at the Madison Square Garden. At the pong signifying the close of the fight there was no doubt in anybody's mind as to the winner as Chick had won every round with a wide margin. In fact the only points scored were scored by Chick. The State mine at Pernik, Bulgaria, is to have its own electric power plant.

This is one of the big scenes in Pola Negri's vivid new picture, "Flower of Night," coming to the Attucks Theatre on Monday and Tuesday. A dance for the miners and their wives is being given at the Flor de Noche gold mine. A drunken gayety prevails. Rickety tables are piled high with food and drink. Illumination, sickly and yellow, is shed by battered oil lamps that hang from the ceiling, and streamers of cut paper give an atmosphere of despair.

Dempsey-Tunney battle, here in September. While Dempsey is waiting he is utilizing his spare time telling how anxious he is to fight Harry Wills and making preparations for training to fight Tunney. According to the champion, the mainstay of his training force will be big Bill Tate, whom the champion says "gives me fine workouts. He has fought Wills and he shows me much." In the meantime, Harry Wills is sitting on the side lines watching the chance of the title, which he has sought for a number of years slip in his group through the doublecrossing of the New York Boxing-Commission that recently sanctioned the Dempsey-Tunney fight after issuing the etict that if Dempsey fought in the state of New York, Wills would be his opponent: at Rickard. It also handed a black-eye to the reports that a Dempsey-Wills battle would prove unpopular in New York. Nicolai Troubetzky # Edwin J. Brady pottraits Derek Bylandt, who dies at the end of the dance.

The picture which plays "Thursday of feature No. 1, faithfully repre- sentation of the musical from its cheap song-and-dance acts to the regal magnificence of the glorified musical comedies. Tom Moore has the title role originally made famous in the stage version of Mr. Cohan—that of a typical small-time vauvilless troupper, who considers himself the greatest song and dance man in the world. Moore plays the character with precisely the right mixture of concept, comedy and pathos, and holds the sympathetic interest of audience throughout. Besie Love Lowe with slim form of elfin and elfin in every pose brings both charm and talent to the part of the little dancer, who chastens her way to musical comedy and fame. Harrison Ford adds to his laurels with his very finished performance of the rich artist, who falls in love with the diminutive actress.

A uge 12.—The Hildale Club-staged another extra inning game at the Darby let when it took the Daisies 13 innings to gain a 2 to 1 verdict over the Paterson Silk Sox. The game was a pitcher's battle between Bullet Campbell, the Boston butcher boy and Frank Talcott, who was a collegiate star when he wore the blue of Yale. The game, however, was marred by a serious accident that occurred in the 10th inning when third base man Lou Zimmer of the Silk Sox suffered a broken leg when Robinson collided with him at third base. "In this inning Robinson, the first man to the plate, walked, Campbell sacrificed him to second, then Briggs to Talcott who elected to make the play on Robinson at third base." The base runner had a good lead from second and the sliding player and the ball reached Zimmus at about the same time but was unable to get for the play, he fetched the runner and then fell over.

LOUIS UPPETS DOBE Chicago, Ill., Aug. 12.—The National League clubs during the past week somewhat upset t he dope when the American Giants again finished the week without a defeat and the Detroit Stars grabbed the series from St. Louis Stars. The fall of the St. Louis club was the most surprising feature of the week's play in the Western Circuit. Detroit had just returned from Chicago and had dropped row to the Giants and no one expected them to treat St. Louis so rough in their encounter—but they did. TAYLOR GOES TO DETROIT There might be something to point to in Detroit incident for James Taylor, formerly manager of the St. Louis Stars and the Cleveland Elites has been added to the Detroit Staff, as coach, we hear at this time, and this might be the reason for the peppy showing of the Stars during the past week. Taylor should be a tower of strength to Detroit, and if anyone can make them dig and win he should do it. DUFF AND BARNES TO INDIANAPOLIS Duff, utility man of the Cleveland club, and Barnes, catcher, formerly with the St. Louis Stars have joined the Indianapolis A. B. C's, meeting the club last Wednesday in Chicago. Barnes is a good catcher and a fair hitter and will plug up a hole in the A's catching department. Duff is an all-around player and will be a help to the A's during the remainder of the season. MONARCHS DROP CUBANS During the past week the Monarchs halted the Cubans in their five-game series and clings to second place with a safe margin, and will have Detroit on their menu this week. Detroit should take at least two games from the champs if they display the same amount showed in their series with the ope in Kansas City as they play in Saskatoon. GIANTS TAKE TO ROAD FOR GIANTS TAKE TO ROAD FOR TWO WEEKS The league-leading, American Giants will not be seen on the home lot again for two weeks. This week they are playing in Indianapolis and the following week they take on the Detroit Stars n a series which should decide whether or not they have the real goods. The Giants left home with a record of 19 won and 10 lost during the second half. It is rumored that the Giants will consummate a trade within the next ten days which greatly enhance their penant hope. They are believed to be angling for another good pitcher. his superb understanding of those elements of screen entertainment which actually entertain.

Cockrell Of Hilldale Takes SwingAtUmpire;Fined $100 By WILLIAM PICKENS If Jack Dempsey should be permitted to fight Tunney in New York State, before he fights Harry Wills, it would make as big a joke out of Farley and the rest of the boxing Commission as it has already made out of Dempsey. Farley need not think he can fool anybody pretending that he is all for Wills, but that the two other Commissioners are overruling him. Colored people are used to that sort of bunk—especially a white man who, like Wiley, are looking forward to being run for some elective political office and to make the "culled brother" think that this particular white man, at least, was "for you." If Farley wants to prevent this injustice to Wills and this disgrace to the whole boxing business, Farley can do it. Dempsey signed a contract to fight Wills nearly a year ago, and somebody posted a $50,000 forfeit for him, and neither was to fight any other person before the year was out, during which time Dempsey was supposed to have fought Atlantic City, Aug. 12.—Taking the initiative among Eastern League managers, Ed. Bolden plastered a $100.00 fine on Phil Cockrell and suspended him for five days when the Hildale pitcher punched umpire Plackett in the third inning of today's game at the Bacharach Glants Ball Park. Bolden's version of the affair, was "the attack was unwarranted and it is the policy of the Hildale Club, to always discourage rowdy tactics and will not tolerate them on our ball club. As an organization we have been very lax in meeting out punishment to belligerent players who seek to intimidate umpires. In short it is a matter for our commissioners. If WILBERFORCE PROFS.

Wills. has kept strictly to the terms of the contract, for Wills is more than a pugilist; he is a man and a gentleman in the worthy sense of the word. If Dempsey, fights Tunney in September anywhere in the world, we expect Wills to claim and hold this $500,000 forcit. And we have heard it from a source that makes it more than more rumor that an effort has been made to buy off Wills with just $100,000. At last white people have got to learn that a Negro who is a pugilist does not have to be a venal scoundrel. haps even colored people do not realize what type of Wills is, and what names they have to hain in the front of this battle to discern to bar out a race from getting first place in the boxing world. The truth is, the white world has no boxer to oppose him who is his moral equal—even if one proves to be his pugilistic equal. Wills has them in a corner. We want him to hold them there until they confess or come clean Oldale Takes pire; Fined $100 the officials are unfair or incompetent they should be removed.

BUSINESS AND TRADE REVIEW All-For One One For All Of Starting Business "Shoe String" Passea Make Your MONEY DOUBLE itself in 10 years Buying land in a growing section is the quickest way to double your dollars.

More or less money in the form of working capital is required in every business undertaking. Even the professional, man who is selling his skill as a personal service requires capital in his business. He has had to finance years of preparation and the expenience of maintaining his business by his practice has grown so supplying dimensions. Even when this has been achieved can often invest additional funds in equipment calculated to save his time and increase his usefulness. In the ordinary commercial venture materials must be purchased, men must be employed, expenses must be paid, and selling must be taken care of, before the merchandise has been sold and the bills collected. The money is needed to bridge the gap between the initial outlay and the income. It is also probable that substantial investment must be made in machinery and equipment before business can be done at all. In this instance money is used for the purchase of tools calculated to multiply effort and the economics that make the business possible on an economic basis. As we have developed from the old hand production by machines a larger and larger investment may be necessary. Thousands of business have not year because their capital to a shoe string the venture. Starting well, but it is safer and wiser to carefully estimate the amount of capital that will be needed and have it ready for instant use. Figure Your Cash Needs If you would be sure of your financial backing, figure how much cash you will need to meet every contingency you can think of, then double this figure, and add a little more just for good measure. To succeed and progress as it should, every business must have this ample supply of money at all times. There are two reasons for this as a fundamental requisite. First, a shortage of cash at any time means a slowing up and curtailment of operations. The management must stop building and man around in an effort to get sufficient money to meet the emergency. This takes time and energy that should be spent in another of the reasons. Secondly, the money used in the best position to get them. "To him that hath shall be given" holds in the banking world as in no other place. The man with plenty of cash for current operations can easily borrow more because he is considered to be in sound financial condition and a good risk, but the man who is pressed is looked on with suspicion by his banker. He is often unable to get the accommodation he needs or is forced to sacrifice much in order to get it. It may not sound reasonable, but it is often wise to borrow money when you do not need it so as to have it, or at least to have established a regular line of credit when you do. Compute Dollar Value The other important thing to remember about money is that the dollar is not always a dollar; in fact it is seldom a dollar. In the past-warm boom with an inflated currency, our dollar was really a "forty-cent piece" so far as purchasing power was concerned. Early Fall SALE going on in Property. Small payment down and balance as rent. VIRGINIA COLLETTE REAL ESTATE & RENTALS 444 East Bute Street Motto: "Fair and Square Dealing. Near Public and Public stor- age. Phone 301935. Let your Property with me. Agents Wanted At Once. To compare sales, earnings, wages, or profits with previous years was exceedingly dangerous unless this fact was kept in mind. The business that made $100,000 in 1913 and made $200,000 in 1920 was really losing ground because the net gain as expressed in what it would buy was less than before the war. Our dollar, as this is written is worth only sixty-three cents as compared with the 1913 dollar and we are really doing business with "sixty-three cent pieces." This elastic dollar of ours must be taken into consideration when comparing one period with another and in negotiating loans which are to be paid back at a later date and under new conditions. The borrower who received forty-nine cent dollars in 1919, may have had to borrow one later, seventy-one cent dollars in 1924. He may have had he was paying 6% or 8% interest but he was really paying a much higher rate. Likewise the man who borrows sixty-cent dollars and pays them back when they are worth but forty cents in actual purchasing power makes a real profit of twenty cents on every one of them. Watch your dollars carefully and if you would avoid fooling yourself, reduce to terms or real value before you make comparisons. Money is a powerful tool for speeding progress. It is essential that you have sufficient capital before you undertake a business venture, then build your credit and borrowing power carefully. It is infinitely better to pay interest on money you do not own, there is no interest, protected, then the hindered and hampered by a lack of cash. GUIDE POITERS TO PROGRESS GUIDE POITERS TO PROGRESS In more scences than one life is not a merry-go-around. You don't cover the same distance twice. Those on the highest heights have their bitter moments—even as you and I. Will gets you up the hill. The real boss does not boss—he inspires. This is the season we are most apt to slow up—to placate ourselves; by saying "business can't be but so good in Summer" it's too hot and besides so many people are away on their vacations." But this season like any other will yield profitable results in proportion to the brains, energy and effort put in. August will be as good as May or October if we will it to be. Summer sloth—Winter want remember. As people we spend entirely too much money for a "good time" in the summer. In many instances we go the proverbial grushopper one better—for often large sums of money are borrowed on household furniture and other effects to be repaid in winter. It is easier to do a duty when it should be done than a few days later when it must. Americans entering Mexico must have $100 in United States money, which is to be left there, of course.

Inflations in the stock markets are far above normal. All indications are that the third quarter of 1926 will show reasonably satisfactory results, on the whole. The final quarter beginning October 1st is likely to develop a more definite trend in one direction or the other. There is nothing now within sight to arouse apprehension of the turn things will take. Abundant grain and cotton crops are promised. True. In this section will lose a little on account of the long drought, but even in this section it is expected that the end of the season will find them ahead of the game. From all quarters and sunday industries we are receiving cheerful reports. Railway traffic, railway earnings, tax receipts, chain stores sales, bank deposits, postal receipts, iron and steel production, dividend increases, consumption of electric power, new incorporations—these and other good prospects show that activity is measuring up to new year and other expectations. The outlook contains shades, but the bright spots undoubtedly predominate. YELLOW SULPHUR SPRINGS FINEST SUMMER RESORT Tourists and vacationists who have gone to spend some time at or merely stopped in passing Yellow Sulphur Springs of Virginia during this summer pronounced it, "a wonderful acquisition by colored enterprise." W. H. Crocker, prominent business man or Sufferer of the Springs, who has just concluded a visit to the Springs makes the following comment on the resort: "This mountain resort is located in Montgomery county, a half mile from the National Highway leading from Christianburg to Blacksburg, and a half mile from Yellow Sulphur Springs station to Blacksburg and three and half miles from Christiansburg station on the Norfolk and Western. Old Resort "This resort in the Alleghany Mountains is one of the oldest resorts in the State. It was owned and operated by white people until 1922, and on January 1 of this year a colored company known as Yellow Sulphur Springs, Inc, purchased it. The company is capitalized at $60,000 divided into shares of $10.00 each. "The acquisition of this enterprise is hailed as a new epoch in the history of the colored people. It has the largest hotel owned and operated by them anywhere in the United States. The site consists of 53 acres of land, a modern 3 story hotel, 64 large air rooms, 4 reception rooms, an ideal hall room, a spacious dining room that will seat 400 guests, enormous basement space, and furniture all the department of sunlight. In addition to the hotel there are circling right and left a circle of cottages numbering 71 in all. The springs are located about 125 yards up the valley in direct view of the front of the hotel and near the head of a circle of cottages. Just up the valley to the right of the springs there is a fine bowling alley, situated just far enough away not to annoy the guests and where a modern reservoir and swimming pool will be installed. Healthful Water "The analysis of the water of the springs as made by the United States Government in 1880 shows that it contains an unusual amount of sulphuric acid. The water of this spring has wonderful healing properties, and the old ledger shows that from 1870 to 1922 this spring has had for its guests some of the most noted men and women in this country and abroad. "This spring opened by the colored company for the accommodation of guests on June 1, and easily accommodate 2000. The Yellow Sulphur Springs, Inc, has for its officers: A. F. Brooks, president; H. C. Johnson, secretary; C. W. Poindexter, tzasurer; N. F. Berry, manager, of Roanoke and Lynchburg." "The possibilities of this movement appear wonderful, when it is realized that it is located directly at the end of the Shenandoah Valley National Park, which the Government already has endorsed and which will be shaped up as one of the great parks of the country; and within 40 or 50 miles of the Natural Bridge, besides being in section that is thrifty and alive, and standing at an elevation of 2000 feet above sea level, where the air is pure and invigorating with an environment where race prejudice is not likely to arise. "A visit to this newly acquired resort will convince you of its wonderful possibilities. I can see in this project what I have been unable to see in the other projects that our people have looked forward to for rest and comfort."

That was the tribute paid to Hattie Proctor, aged 63, a colored worker with Travelers' Aid Society here, who, after being struck by an automobile, called though unconsciousness for her chief that she might report upon the arrand she had been on when the accident befell her. The woman lies desperately ill in St. Vincent's Hospital with both of her arms and as the result of being hit by an automobile on Princess Anne road last Friday night while she was on one of her many missions of mercy. Fellow-workers with the woman, who has been 21 years helping travelers of her race about Norfolk, had nothing but the highest praise for the plush she displayed. The accident occurred about 10 clock night and the car driven by Roy Ken A. Handy, colored which struck the woman, carried hor to the hospital. There she lay in a serious condition. She was unconscious, suffering from the injuries and the shock. Calls For Executive A few minutes later she opened her eyes and called off a telephone number—that of the executive. As soon as was possible the executive was in the hospital and beside the suffering colored woman. With eyes that stared, she told briefly of her efforts to locate three small colored boys who had run away from home, and of her discoveries. Not one word did she say of her efforts, but she never, that she had not made out her monthly report and was no little worried over it until she was assured that it had been made for her from her daily reports. Now she is resting more comfortably, but in her semi-delicious condition is asking always that she be allowed to go-back to work. In August 1905, just 21 years ago, Hattie Proctor took up the work of aiding travelers especially girl from White Rock, Arkansas, Association of New York, having headquarters in Norfolk, where she met all incoming trains and aided strangers to their destinations.

She remained with the White Rose, Association until 1912, when the work was taken over by the Urban League of New York. Then in 1918, she became affiliated with the Travelers Aid Society when a local branch was organized. She is now one of the local society's 10 workers, two of whom are colored. Norfolk, since Hattie has been working at her mission of mercy, has grown from almost insignificance to the city with the eighth largest travel problem in America, 18,132,223 persons having arrived here during 1921, the latest figure available.

OBITUARY One of the largest funerals ever witnessed at Gabriel's Chapel A. M. E. Zion Church, of Hickory, Va., occurred Sunday August 1st, in the funeral of Rev. E. S. Williams, who passed away July 29th. He was born in 1859, the son of Daniel and Edith Butts Williams of Mt. Pleasant, Va. Most of his young life was spent in Norfolk county. His education for life began at the State Normal School at Elizabeth City where he stayed for a short while after which he entered Hampton Institute in 1886 remaining until 1890. His greatest place of great success, as he was a man of remarkable brilliancy and splendid Christian character. In 1891 he joined the A. M. E. Zion conference at Norfolk, Va., and was a successful pastor for the thirty-five years that he served. He moved from parsonsage to parsonage after the Methodist custom until 1906 when he bought a home in Hickory, Va., and placed his family. From thence he traveled back and forth to his field of labor until he fell ill in his revival on July 28th. His being at home when death called was due to the foresight, kind thought and Christian love of his presiding elder, Dr. J. E. Garrett, who after the night's service, photographed his home, avivaed around 4 a.m. The life of the deceased was one of unexcelled Christian progress. He was respected and loved by all, both white and black. His life toward his family, community and church distinguishes him as a wonderful specimen of physical, mental and moral manhood. He leaves a wife, six sons and two daughters. Among the children who are away from the home-stead engaged in various activities of life, are Miss' Sarah E. Williams, and Mrs. Mary Burney, of Norfolk, Va.; Messrs. E. S. Williams jr., and J. A. Williams, of Newport News, Va.; G. C. Williams, of Brooklyn, N. Y. and S. R. Williams, of Hampton Institute. Va. His funeral was beautifully preached by Dr. J. E. Garrett, presiding elder of the Edenton district of the Albermarle Conference. He was assisted by the following ministers: B. F. Harrison, presiding elder of the Elizabeth City district of the Albermarle Conference; G. N. Cuffee, Joseph Cuffee; William Cuffee, Joseph Lamb, A. M. Lefebour, of Bronthe, G. J. Johnson, Samuel Feree, G. W. Alexander, of Bells Mill, Vag. A. A. Stringfield and Dr. N. D.

Our employee was not killed in the mixing machine, as has been reported, said reports being entirely untrue and contrary to the facts. BIG LOTT CAREY CONVENTION IS HOPE OF LEADERS Affiliation of National Baptist Convention Expected To Prove Great Factor In Expansion of Work of Body. (Oodson News Service) Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 10—The twenty-ninth annual meeting of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention to be held in this city at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Dekalb avenue near Franklin avenue from August 31 to September 4, will have a double significance. Besides being the only body of national scope among the race that does foreign work exclusively, will have as a strong force the foreign mission department of the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) of which the Rev. Dr. J. Edmund Wood is the president. These two conventions agreed to unite in their foreign work a year ago, to be held here in September of Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., with other members of the Foreign Mission Board will create great interest in the work. Rev. J. S. Harten, pastor of the entertaining church is making up an attractive local program which will soon be given to the papers. Dr. Harten is very enthusiastic over the bright outlook for the meeting. His church is located on the campus of the mission. Rev. S. A. Thurston of Charlottesville, Va., will respond to the welcome address. S. S. INSTITUTE OF NORFOLK A. M. E. DISTRICT HELD The Sunday School Institute of the Norfolk District of the Virginia A. M. E.

To the Co-workers of the Virginia State Baptist Sunday School Convention: This is hoped to bring to your mind that only a few weeks and days are between us and the Silver Jubilee Meeting of our Convention. At 9:30, August 18th, the President, Prof. J. S. Lee, will sound the Gavel and marshall his forces together in the Great Silihon Baptist Church of Blackstone, Va., to begin one of the most inspiring, inspirational and beneficial meets ever held in the History of the organization, as all arrows are pointing in that direction. "Two Thousand Dollars" is the Jubilee Slogan. Every Sunday School Union and missionary are asked to make strenuous effort to meet the slogan. The Educational and Missionary System of our State and Country needs the money. They can only succeed in proportion as our interest is aroused. The people of Blackstone and the members and friends of the Shiloh Baptist Church are anxiously waiting on travel and as usual in another hospitable way are sparing neither means or time to make our stay in the city a pleasant as well as profitable one from all angles. In return they are expecting much of us. Let us not disappoint them. Every Sunday School and Union should try and send one delegate at least. Help make this the Banner year, as well as the Silver Jubilee year. Yours for the cause of God and Humanity. J. S. LEE, President G. C. MADISON Rec. Secy. TO THE PUBLIC: ST.

The members responded in a large way to this effort in that a large majority of them made some sort of contribution, with the result that $1,656.16 was raised. Although the total amount is in itself very creditable that the maitress of the members donated to it is what encourages the pastor and officers most. The spiritual interest of the church is rapidly expanding, and is being evidenced throughout the membership. The pastor has proved himself to be master of the situation at this charge, according to the comment of the members, as well as an outstanding leader of his congregation. His regular weekly sermons have brought to the church a large and continued following, thereby being crowds in attendance every Sunday. He was himself the obligatories that this appreciative attendance has placed upon him in the way of preaching, and has responded fittingly. He is preaching with unabated vigor, in spite of the hot weather, and at every appearance in the pulpit has something unusually instructive and spiritually inspiring for his congregation.

C., Aug. 3.—It was bought out here a few days ago that speed law violations mediate the automobile when William Apel, 77 years old, applied for citizenship papers. When asked by Justice Bailey, of the District Supreme Court, if he had ever been arrested. Apel scratched his memory and recalled that 40 years ago he had been required to pay the fine of $5.00 in Police Court for "seeding." Inquiry developed that the applicant then drove a horse hitched to a bread wagon "too fast." Apel was born in Germany in 1849 and came to America in 1872. In response to an inquiry of the court who had waited so long to seek naturalization, the applicant explained that since Washington is "voteless," he had not thought it necessary to apply for citizenship. He received his papers. Salem, Va.-Miss Ida Dodson has just returned from a five weeks' visit to her mother in Mt.

Many people, daily, saw Joe; but few knew his name or anything about him, and, seemingly, none cared to know. He was a Negro and conducted a shoe shining stand in a large downtown store. He kept at his work, steadily, twenty-six years and never took a vacation. There is little romance in that fact. But Joe had a reason for not taking a rest. He had special use for the money he earned. Working with him were ten colored boys. All of them were attending high school, college, or night school, and Joe smoof. That their tuition was mid. He did not read the ten boys in his work, but the ten boys needed the money for their education, and so they were given work They represented only a small number of the colored boys who had received their education thru Joe. For a quarter of a century he had been helping boys through school. Joe himself was educated and would be fairly "well off" if his earnings had not been dispensed so prodigially. At one time Booker T. Washington tried to hire him as private secretary, But, Joe, felt that he would be of more use to the colored people of Cleveland. So he spent his days shining shoes until he was carried to his grave a few weeks ago "unhonored and unsung."—Our Colored Missions. were: Misses Zonibia Bell, Odara Palmer, Olivia Clark, Eliza beth Jones, L.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1926 North Carolina Editor Opposes Voting Franchise For Negroes Declares That Race Must At First Become Economically and Industrially Independent-Thinks That Politics Should Have No Interest For Afro-Americans. Vacationists Have Lively Week At The Hotel Dale Editor Floyd F. Triplett, of the Hertford (N. C.) Herald, writes quite a lengthy article in a recent issue of his paper opposing franchise for American Negroes. Mr. Triplett asserts that his article is his reply to a progressive, educated element of Negroes of his state who have frequently approached him asking that he undertake an agitation for the restoration of the right to vote to all Negroes in the South, who have been disfranchised by local statutes. The substance of Mr. Triplett's answer to these "Negroes is that: 'The ballot is the least of things American Negroes need.'" This editor takes the position that the race needs at first to become economically, and industrially independent. His article in full follows: "The editor of The Hertford Herald has been approached frequently recently by educated, progressive Negroes of this section of the State asking that he undertake an agitation for the restoration of the right to vote to all Negroes in the South, who have been disfranchised by local statutes which they claim are in contravention of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. These advocates of Negro enfranchisement point to the progress made by the Negro race in North Carolina, and the ambition evidenced in pro-gressive Negroes, and the construc- tion work done by individuals of the race in our own county and the counties nearby, as a claim on the right to vote. "In order that there may be no longer any understanding of the policy of the newspaper or its editor on this question this is being written. It is the truth that the Negro of North Carolina, as well as other states in the South, has been worse treated since his emancipation than before. He has been worked without pay, a n d cheated out of what he has produced generally. His education and aspirations for a better standard of living have been opposed in many communities, and he has been forced into employment in spite that began to show. He has been forced or induced to "go North" for education and first-hand knowledge of better living conditions. "He has been disfranchised in the South, because he blindly followed the advice of Northern fanatics who hated the South. When he had the ballot he showed no comprehension of his responsibility for its use, and was merely a cheap tool in the hands of a corrupt set of politicians. With a great majority against them the Democrats of most Southern states deprived the masses of the powers of the right which is proof that race is not qualified to cope with the white people of the South in political matters about which they disagree. "Republican leaders and leading Negroes claimed that the elections were. fraudulent. But, whether fraudulent or not, and whether the legislation followed was legal or not, both were sustained by the highest court in the country, and there is no further legal appeal. "The bitter, tyrannical arrogance preyer, be equalled before in op- Hotel Dale, Hotel May, N. J. — The week at Hotel Dale has been lively. With the orchestra furnishing music in the Grotto every night, things have been kept interesting. Last week-end the orchestra played in the spacious reception room, made attractive by soft lights and potted palms, while the guests danced or played cards as they desired. On Thursday night the hotel assistants arranged a very artistic entertainment. They featured a Japanese Night and Mr. Freeman as chattering and the decoration com- ments achieved the effect of a beautiful Japanese Palm Garden. Next Thursday, Mr. Ruffings, the manager is planning to arrange a Bohemian effect. Of no small importance in the week's events was the visit of the Washington, D. C. Elks. The Columbia Lodge, No. 85, gave an excursion to Wildwood, and as that resort is so near to Cape May, the Cape May Lodge invited them to Cape May and entertained them at Hotel Dale. Among those who came was Judge Thomas L. Jones, of Washington, D. C., who expressed extreme pleasure with his visit. A glance at the hotel register will show the names of several other guests who visited us from the Capitol City at the same time. GUESTS New York City> W. Frederick, Mrs. Herman Bourne, M. L.

There was no reason why the freed slaves should be given the equal right with their late masters to vote on questions affecting federal, State or local welfare. They had no feeling but one of retaliation for wrongs they had been persuaded they had suffered at the hands of their late owners and masters. They were persuaded wrongly. They had made no progress in the theory of government during slavery. Their late owners had treated them well as chattels. Their wrongs were inflicted by the evil speculators and cruel marauders who captured them in their native jungles and brought them to America in irons and sold them as laborers. Largely these speculators were Northern capitalists. "Since their freedom the race has gone far through association and contact with white men. Their greatest injury has been from those well-meaning, over-zalous philanthropists who have many individuals of the capable of education, and instilled the conviction that their education fits the whole race for full participation in all activities of government and for the breaking down of all social barriers. "It is probably not possible that any country can keep up the progress of educational and commercial advancement under the control of two races which can not amalgamate without injury to both. In the nature of things there can not be amalgamation of the white and black races in this country without destroying both. Whatever could be the gain to the Negro race as a race, it would be a catastrophe to the white race that would spell degradation and reversion to barbarism for the whole. That is repugnant and unthinkable to any intelligent, normal member of either race. "But, the refusal of the white race to amalgamate with the Negro race or to receive its members as social intimates, and the opposition to sharing in the management of the government with that race as a whole at this stage of its mental and spiritual development, is not in any way discouraging to those who are working among the colored population of the South. Great strides have been made in better conditions among the Negroes of our Southland. They are learning agricultural and mechanical arts. They are getting educations that fit them to understand the fine things in literature and art. They are getting ready to learn, how civilization advanced among the white peoples of the world, and how it failed when the white races became contaminated with colored strains of blood. "Negroes are learning that they form a community separate and apart from their white neighbors, and that there is nothing socially in common between the two. They are learning now to make their own social and community life, as they have learned that they must make their own domestic life, without interference by white people. They have yet to learn how to protect themselves commercially by being honest with white people with whom they have contact.

"An enthusiastic Negro worker among his race said to the Herald man recently, in discussing this phase of the problem, that there is not one in one hundred of his race that has any real conception of honesty, integrity or the proper attitude of members of one race toward another. He said it is the work of a hundred years to educate the Negro and get them away from the inborn prejudices and natural tendencies to dishonesty that now stand in the way of their advancement. Negroes, he said, are emotional, imitative, and changeable. Even the best of them, he said, can not be depended upon. He promises, but he fails you when the time to act comes. This is not his attitude toward white men only, but he is with his own color. And that is generally true among the most advanced of the race. What can you expect among the masses that have not even begun to form stability of character? "Colored races throughout the history of the world never have reached the stage of advancement that allows them to curry on a form of self-government that compiles with the high ideals of white government. Wherever they have been allowed to largely participate in white government it has meant revolution, unrest and general chaotic conditions. The Northern states still give to the Negroes the privilege of voting in all elections. Even some Southern states, as West Virginia, Kentucky and some others extend the franchise without limit as to color. But in those states the white voters so completely dominate the politics of the states that the Negro is generally not a factor, except as he may direct by white politicians holding the balance of power in favor of the Negroes party. In all states the Negroes generally there is purely a white man's government. When that becomes endangered, the Negro will be disfranchised there just as the Japanese are in the Pacific states. "All of which brings us to the conclusion: The ballot is the least of the things American Negroes need. His greatest and most imminent?" Let every Negro be turned trained to become an asset and not a liability to his community. He must become first of all, independent industrially and economically. He must fear to be a producer at a profit to himself. "There is a common saying throughout the South, "When you educate a Negro you spoil a field hand." Very well. Spoil them all! What use has the South for mere field hands? For the "man with the hoe!" Let every Negro be turned from a field hand into an intelligent, creative, inventive human being, and let the "field hands" pass out of existence. Would that there were not one south of Mason and Dixon's Line. Would that there were not a "migger cabin" anywhere in the South! With both colors intelligent, educated, culti- Some Popular Fallacies About Race Relations By R. B. Elazar, Educational Director Commission on Intercultural Relations. Yes, like the measles, everybody has to have them, even the best of us. There the analogy ends, however; for most folks get over measles pretty promptly. Nobody wants to go around speckled for over with a million red bumps. And one would think that nobody would want to go through life with his mind bumpy with misinformation and inflamed with bad feeling concerning his fellow men. Yet lots of people do just that. 1. For example, a college student gravely informed me the other day that God turned one of Noah's sons black and sentenced his descendants to perpetual servitude. He spent a half hour searching the Bible to prove it. He didn't find it, of course, for the Bible says nothing of the kind. There is no suggestion that God cursed anybody or that anybody was turned black. (Read Genesis 9 and see for yourself.) The scientists tell us that our color variations are due to the influence of climate and environment working through long ages. Probably we were all red at first; the name Adam means "red earth," you know. Then those of us who settled in the North faded out, while those farther South grew darker. 2. "Oh, yes," someone says, "the Negro is all right in his place." An obvious truth that a often hides a fallacy; for generally it means that we who uses it has already assumed to fix the Negro's place as one of inherent inferiority and servitude. But has one human being the right thus to rate another and to deny him the chance to improve his status? Am I God, that I should set limits to the possibilities of any of God's children? Yet that is the philosophy of some today who would keep the Negro ignorant in order to keep him subservient and content. It is the philosophy of a past age and of paganism. The highest welfare of all, not the selfish convenience of a few, is the only standard that meets the test PAGES 7 TO 12 DEPICTS LIFE OF NEGRO MAID Among the various stories being sent to The Daily Worker, a publication in Chicago, in a contest the following was awarded third prize. Maggie is a colored girl of 14. She has two brothers and two sisters younger than she. Her father died leaving her mother to care for the five children. Maggie's mother works as a cook in one of Chicago's restaurants. It is very hard for them to get along with the $17 a week that she earns. Maggie's mother decided to send Maggie to work to help make both ends meet. Maggie went to an employment office. After paying a few dollars she was sent to work in a doctor's home as a maid. The doctor paid her $6 a week and her meals. If she happens to go out on the street and starts to play with the other girls and forgets for a while that she is a maid, her mistress calls to her and says: "Maggie, where are you? Come here quickly. The baby is crying." Poor Maggie then realizes that she cannot enjoy herself as the other children do but must work. She is a maid. She cannot play with the other children. She must help her mother to provide the necessities of life to her brothers and sisters. She goes back into the house. Tends to the baby. As soon as the baby is asleep she sweeps the floors, dusts the furniture and does the other housework. During idle moments she looks hungrily out of the window wishing that she were with the other girls enjoying herself. As she looks out of the window she realizes that a life of toil lifes ahead of her and that she must work hard all her life just as her mother has always done. vated there would be racial pride and community pride that would transform the wonderful South into a veritable paradise. "Who votes is not a question with the Negro. The white Anglo-Saxon will take care of the disposition to oppression in good time, no difference from whom it comes. The Negro need not fear his Anglo-Saxon American neighbor, but he does need to fear his own injustice, tendencies to disregard for culture, independence and efficiency. And both colors need not study how to produce jobs by industry and prosperity by thrift than how to hold office and corrupt voters. "This one fact is to be borne in mind by those intelligent and cultured Negro leaders—the salvation of their race rests on economic and industrial fitness and not on politics. On this line many big minded Southern men and women are ready to give the mehelp and encouragement they now have from the emotional and fanatical pitfalls of the North. Industrial training is possible with the average Negro now; training in statesmanship is out of the question always." of twentieth century intelligence and Christianity 3. "But no genuine Negro ever showed real intelligence or ability." Do you think not? What about George Carver, the South's foremost agricultural chemist and follow of the London Royal Society of Arts? What about Phyllis Wheatley, African-born slave who wrote such good poetry that she was complimented by President Washington and entertained by the royalty of England? What of Robert R. Moton, head of Tuskegee Institute, a school with 2,000 students and an annual budget of half a million dollars? What of Roland Hayes, world-famous tenor, who sings perfectly in four languages and has been honored by the crowned heads of Europe? What of Mary McLeod Bethune, who built up a great school for girls at Daytona, Florida, with a plant worth $500,000? What about hundreds more who have achieved notably in spite of great handicaps? Better inquire before you retail that particular fallacy again. 4. "The Negro has had no worthy part in American history," some one says. No? Had you heard that Crispus Attucks, a Negro, was the first martyr of American independence; that Peter Salem, a Negro, was the hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill; that Salem Poor, another Negro; distinguished himself in the same battle; that 3000 American Negroes took part in the Revolutionary War; that General Andrew Jackson warmly commended the courage at the Battle of New Negro troops at the Battle of New troops with the death of the British commander; that Commodore Perry spoke in high praise of his Negro sailors in the Battle of Lake Erie; that Negro soldiers distinguished themselves in the Spanish American War at Guasimas, El Caney and San Juan Hill; that two Negroes were the first American soldiers decorated in the World War; that four entire Negro regiments were cited for bravery in that war, and that sixty Negro officers re- NARROW VIRGINIA- CAROLINA -NEWS- EDITORIALPAGE ENTRIES FOR THE HARMON PRIZES CLOSED AUG. 1 Large Number of Candidates In The Fields of Literature, Music, Fine Arts, Education And Race Relations.

Look up the record. You'll find it interesting. 5. "But Negroes want to break down the social line between the races." Who told you so? The finest types of Negro leaders deny it emphatically. They say frankly that they prefer the society of their own people. Perfectly-natural, too. Besides, experience does not justify any such charge. Negroes want justice, not social relations. Education provision, deci-velopment, a chance to develop their best—these are the things they ask. And these requests the white man must grant, if he proposes to be even reasonably fair. 6. Finally, the most fundamental fallacy of all—the universal "superiority complex." Every racial group has it. Each thinks itself better than the rest, and consequently entitled to exploit the others, if it can. Jews thought themselves better than Gentiles; Greeks felt superior to Romans, and Romans to everybody. We white Americans are just as bad. We think ourselves the pick of the world—"God's last and best." Meantime Chinese and Koreans and East Indians look down on us in turn, as vulgar, excisable, noisy newcomers, superficial thinker a and crass materialists. Nor do Europeans think much better of us, if the truth were told. It is high time for the world to outgrow that fallacy. Nobody knows which is the superior race—or whether there be one. All we can say is that we differ in physical characteristics and in degree and kind of development. History shows that the backward race of one age often becomes the dominant race of the next, and vice versa. It behoves us all to be humble to remember that we are all human beings, owing to each other respect and good will. And the more advantaged any of us happen to be, the greater is our obligation to serve the others. **HAMPTON** Hampton, Va.—Mrs. Maggie Diggs, 18 Lincoln street, his as her guest this week, Mrs. Emma Pearl, Miss Pearl Mrs. Emma Winchbill, sister of Mrs. Diggs, and her husband, all of Philadelphia.

Z. Church, corner Queen street and Mt. Vernon avenue, was damaged by fire early Sunday morning. The structure was practically new, and the firemen, who fought the blazes for several hours, discharged it was of undetermined origin. Girls Of St. James Enjoy An Outing The Girls' Junior Class of St. James Episcopal Church school with their friends enjoyed a most refreshing outing at Buckroe Beach last Monday.

Now don't understand this to mean that every one took a dip in the surf. The members of the class are loud in their praise and feel greatly indebted to their teacher who planned and in a large way made the outing possible.

War won't make a people tough but grubbing to pay for it will. Some people apparently consecrate their lives to taking the romance out of life. Even romance of practical worth is not safe from them and so full of zeal are they that this life, once so full of romance, is approaching romantic sterility. In certain states they have legislated against that most romantic of all romantic institutions, the elopement, by requiring the lapse of a week or longer between the issuance of the marriage license and the wedding. This is but one of the death blows dealt the ancient and poetic institution of romance and it does not seem half so deadly as that just struck by the United States shipping board. At this late date and with all the traditions of maritime romance to the contrary, the shipping board says that captains are not authorized by federal law to perform marriages at sea. Thus, at a single stroke, does it divest fiction of its most poetic conclusion and rob the sea captain of his traditional and romantic office. Prison Reform Penal authorities may disagree as to the best methods of handling prisoners that will prove most helpful to society and to the prisoners themselves, but quite all of them are agreed that the lash and other cruelties reminiscent of the Inquisition era no longer belong to the prison life of civilized communities. It is unquestionably better for the moral and physical health of convicts that they be not closely confined in idleness, but assigned suitable work, but the county chaingang systems as prevails in many states are neither helpful to the prisoners or society and they prove a disgrace upon the penal system. One does not have to possess over sentimental views regarding the conduct of prisons and convict camps to insist that the prisoners be treated humanly. The lash is a degrading, brutalizing and dehumanizing weapon in connection with adult convict life, and its influence is equally debaucheting to both its victim and its user. It does not reform, but embitters; its use does not benefit but further endangers society. It should go. And along with the going of the convict lash should go the square-head, illiterate, tobacco-spitting, half-moron camp boss tyrant. No dune has any business being in charge of men either in prison or anywhere else. A man who cannot work men who are already fettered with prison walls or ball and chain without a club and a lash is just a bone-head incompetent himself and should not be on the public payroll. The states spend good money on their prisons. They should insist that value received be obtained for every cent of this money. And the day is already here when correctional institutions can best make themselves pay by carrying out the idea of salvage and reform in men in every case where a candid and thorough investigation points to the probable success of such an effort. The lash in the prison camp proves a constant temptation to use it. To say that it might be used there with discretion is putting too much faith in human nature, particularly the sort of human nature that is generally in charge of the camps. A sane forward and humane movement by Virginia and North Carolina would be to insist upon stringent reform in the county chaingang system, or its abolition altogether. There should be no question about ridding it of the lash without further ado. We Should Administer Our Own Colleges We very much agree with Dr. I. Garland Penn that we should head our schools of learning and that the philanthropists who control certain of our schools should see the wisdom of giving members of the race control of such schools; that is, they should see, or be made to see, that the best results can be secured by giving members of the race such control. The recent action of the trustees of Howard University in electing a competent Negro as President should be indicative of a tendency in the right direction, but we doubt if it impressed much the trustees of Lincoln, Atlanta, Clark and Fisk universities, Lincoln and Fisk both having recently elected white presidents when there was a clamorous demand for the election of presidents of our own group. We are not unmindful of the splendid service which white educators have rendered in those schools as well as in others maintained and controlled by white denominations and philanthropists; they have earned the undying gratitude of the race by their sacrifice and service. They did for the race what it was not able to do for itself after the civil war and up to recent years; they have given us an educated body of educated men and women, who have done and are doing splendid service as educators and preachers and journalists and the like; but this creation of such by them is the strongest possible argument that our educators for such schools should be taken from the ranks of the splendid body of men and women they have prepared for the work. Men like Booker T. Washington, Robert Russa Moton, John Hope, J. B. Dudley, Lucy Laney, W. S. Scarborough, and others, have sufficiently demonstrated the fact that we are capable of controlling and developing in educational schools, with a like demonstration in preparedness in works of the ministry, law, medicine and journalism. Our educated men and women naturally feel that they should have an open and fair field for work and promotion in our schools as they have it in our ministry and the like, and all the more so as such fair field and promotion is denied them in the general work of education, as in most work. And the character of the white men who are now controlling the work of education among Negroes, and the persons they select to conduct the work, are as different from the original philanthropists as are the Negro men and women who have been educated in their schools. The old feeling of touch and sympathy has radically changed and in the absence of such feeling the best results cannot be obtained. The American Citizen And The Ballot Elsewhere in this paper is reprinted an article written by Editor Floyd J. Triplett, of the Hertford (N. C.) Herald in which he undertakes what he terms "A frank discussion for withholding political rights to colored people in a white government" and arrives at these conclusions: that the ballot is the least of things American Negroes need; that the Negro's greatest and most immediate need is to be educated and trained to become an asset to his community; that he must first of all become independent industrially and economically; that the salvation of his race rests on economic and industrial fitness and not on politics, and that training in statesmanship is out of the question always for the Negro. Among other observations Mr. Triplett makes on the Negro is the assertion "that the masses of Negroes have not yet learned to protect themselves commercially by being honest with white people with whom they have to come in contact." Mr. Triplett writes with a good deal of toleration and restraint, yet it is plain that he holds the orthodox Southern viewpoint. His perspective arises out of the Reconstruction era, and notwithstanding the marvelous progress that has been wrought upon both white and colored of the South by the evolutionary processes of time and education in the intervening years, his mind seems yet unable to dissociate itself from the tenseness of those times made doubly so by the complex problems that followed the civil war. Mr. Triplett would assign the Negro a fixed status in the body politic somewhere just below the line of a full American citizen, yet he would seek to console and encourage him with the advice that all of the elements of citizenship-as enjoyed by other American citizens are not essential to his unhampered advancement. But with the American citizen of whatever race there can be no question of more importance than the power of the ballot. In a republic governed by the will of the majority, those who are without the ballot are serfs while those who have it are freemen. Regardless of the business wealth, education, economic and industrial fitness that a people who form an integral part of a republic may acquire, until they have acquired the ballot their destinies and all they possess are controlled by those in whose hands rest the right of suffrage. The greater our industrial, educational and economic advancement without a parallel advancement in political security the more precarious becomes our position in a government ruled by the will of the majority through the power of the ballot. Economic strength has never saved, nor even has it ever been entirely possible of attainment to a race or nation not versed in the art of government. So long as we are to live and hope to shape our destiny under the laws of this country, we need to have a voice in the making of these laws. This conclusion is inescapable. Just what Mr. Triplett's relations with the masses of Negroes have been in a commercial way as to cause him to conclude that they are not commercially honest, we are not prepared to say. But everyday instances of business transactions between white and colored people contradict his statement. The economic advancement enjoyed by the Negro of the present is based upon the commercial dealings he has had with his white neighbor, and unless he had proved of average honesty his economic status would have been pitifully below what it now is. In fact the Negro's entire wealth has been acquired purely upon his meeting his promises to pay. Moreover, there are hundreds of colored men conducting business enterprises whose credit standing will compare favably with that of the average white business man in their community. The North Carolina editor can have that fact verified by a casual investigation in his own state. Far from it, training in statesmanship is not out of the question with the Negro. It is the largest question in his life today, and it is a training that he must seek now to acquire if he is to progress to the limit of his capacity along other essential avenues. Norfolk Journal and Guide THE GUIDE POST BY RICHARD H. BOWLING They Also Live How madly everybody seems to be rushing, to settle in the big cities.

Dissatisfied migrants by the tens of thousands have come to feel that only in the "big.town" can they really live. They could by no means get the most out of life remaining in the small town or the open country. Say they, and say all the booster articles got up by the various chambers of commerce in the second New Yorks, Just think of the advantages! Paved streets, bright lights, convenient transportation, police protection, quick medical attention, good schools, amusements, plenty of work, welfare institutions, parks, municipal markets, publicity for all your good works, etc. But get an any train, or board an interurban bus, or take a motor trip of a hundred or so miles across a state. You will pass through dozens of small towns where practically all of such advantages of the big city are in evidence. People are not living in shacks simply because their town is not big enough to be listed in the nation's big cities. Where the town is small and every part may be reached quickly, there is no need for rapid transit either on the ground or under it. Where such things are not needed people are not crying and pining because they have no subways. True, small towns are not conspicuous for uniformed police swagging around with great billies and automatic guns. But such symbols of law and order are not needed in small towns where they seldom have to use the jail. In the small towns off the main highways untroubled by tramps and unvisited by thieves, they do not even have to lock their doors at night much less have extension telephones at their bedside to summon emergency detectives. Every street is a driveway as thru a city park. Just a few minutes walk and they are in the woods with sweet nature as God made her. Why go to the expense of laying out a city park? As to publicity, what do they need with newspapers? Everybody is a neighbor and everybody knows what everybody else is doing. And colored people, what advantage is it to some of them to bustle off to the big town? True, there are some sections they had better leave. True, there are some big cities north of the Mason and Dixon line where they will get a larger draft of real life. But a little travel reveals that thousands in the small towns and the countryside have no advantage whatever to gain from "pulling up." A large, airy, well-located home in a small town where every man from the mayor town is your personal friend is a far better place to rear a family than a tumbledown tenement on a back street in a city, no matter how many parks, playgrounds, miles of waterfront, scores of buses, or hundreds of municipal employees that city has. If your children in the big city must attend only second hand antiquated schools and be taught by underpaid teachers, what matters it to you if the city does boast of a million dollar high school for whites? If you and your wife must ride in a pile of junk called a jitney, and that only at certain hours or on certain restricted thoroughfares, what matters it to you if the city does not boast of palatial busses in all its boosted leafters? If your children have no place to play but in the middle of crowded streets, what matters it to you if the city does have a dozen parks or miles of bathing beaches? When I visit one small Southern town and behold Negroes voting in a Democratic primary, another and see a colored physician with fifty per cent white patronage, and also see Negroes riding on all buses without threats or intimidation I rise and shout. They also live! Spirit of The Press English Hard Even to "Natives" From: (Columbia, S. C.) It is the fiery little particles in language that make it hard. Even the mushroom politician can get away with the big words. At least he can fool the people with his man-handling of them. But how many men and women of your acquaintance can place with any degree of certainty "a" or "an" in front of the right word? If you try to take a census, you will find that not one in a hundred. In his engaging "column" or department in Scri伯尔's, Dr. William Lyon Phelps now and then undertakes to throw out a life line to some ship-wrecked brother, and in his latest contribution he offers some suggestions as to the use of "a" and "an". We quote a passage from his department: "Walter S. Campbell, of Sydney, Australia, and former Director of Agriculture of New South Wales, submits for the Ignatius Prize 'the use or rather misuse of a word' in his life, he says that 'this misuse of "a" is on the increase in Australia, and probably also in America'. And therefore we place a, instead of an, before it. The an, before some words beginning with h, seems today a little archaic, like the biblical 'an hundred sheep'. Both these scholars are guilty of the same "pathetic" fallacy, of considering English as a written and an archaic language instead of a living, growing, spoken speech. The old theory that "an" is to be used before words beginning with a vowel is utterly abandoned in living spoken English. The rule is simple—"a" before a stressed consonant SOUND headed word; and "an" before words commencing with a vowel sound; or with a very weak consonant syllable followed by a strongly accented one. These illustrations will make it clear: a union, but an onion; a united country, but an united land; HO, HO, HO, HO. a history, but an his-TOR-ical. In brief, the spelling has nothing to do with it. The pronunciation settles everything. We Need More Mercantile Business of Our Own BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE It is a reflection on the Negro race that its retail business in all sorts of necessary things is in the control of others than themselves. It is a painful thing in all of our large cities to go through the districts in which our group mostly reside to find most of the retail merchant business in the control of white persons, mostly foreigners, who come in among us and without becoming as one with us get all of the money that we spend for food and drink and often for clothing. The business is mostly conducted in a small way, but those in it, including the fruit vendors understand all of the tricks of the trade, and all of the members of the family working together to the same end they manage to make ends meet, buy property or enlarge their business and in the slow progress of time get rich or financially independent. These small white businesses which thrive on the spendings of the Negro group are helped in a vary large way by their women. In some of the large cities the women look after the shops while the men go out in the open market for employment and get profitable work, the total of which with the little business is often so much clear gain, which is saved up until the business can be enlarged or desirable property purchased. The little merchant who owns his place of business and sleeps over it saves two rents and adds it to the wages of the male members and the children old enough to work and sooth is quite rich. And the women are not only very helpful but they are extremely economical. They do not spend much in expensive clothing and expensive outings. They don't own many pleasure vehicles, but use the delivery wagon for the family outing once a week. And they don't eat up what they make in extravagant foodstuffs. They buy the cheap cuts and soap bones and eat plenty of soups and vegetables and stews, with some fruit, so that a family of five will make a solid meal on thirty cents. On the other hand, the average Negro wife will not stand for the confinement of the shop and the economy in clothing and food and the family outing once a week; she must have plenty opportunity to gossip and to go to the movie or other pleasure amusement and must have clothing a-plenty of the latest fashions, and the best food supplies in the market; and the automobile is secured just as soon as the purchase price or the credit racket can be worked to secure it. An automobile will eat up the owner if it does not earn its upkeep, just as an idle horse will eat up himself. The average Negro wife and daughter have not as yet learned to help the husband and brother build up the family fortunes by helping and practising the little economies that make the big ones, but we believe they are learning. Far be it from us to place all the blame for our lack of mercantile initiative and growth upon our women. The average man of us seldom looks to merchandising at all as an independent way to make a place for himself and his family, but relies upon the uncertainty of wage employment and seldom has anything of last week's wages on Monday after squaring accounts on Saturday night. This of the mass, of course, but as to the exceptions count them in your own family and in your own neighborhood and you will find that they are very few in number. Every one of our high schools and colleges and universities should maintain an efficient course in business, in which the Spanish language should be featured. And our theological schools also need a thorough business course. The poor financing of our preachers has cost us millions of dollars. Start small in business and grow steadily, but start. If we never start we never get anywhere, and waiting to start in a big way we often have to be buried by the little insurance benefit check or the contributions of our neighbors. We have got to get out of the poverty wage-earning class more than we are doing it, and one of the ways is to develop the small mercantile business and learn more and more to buy and sell among ourselves. Think it over. Better own a bootblack stand than work for small wages in a menial job in the biggest concern in the community. Nineteen of every 20 automobiles in Brazil are American. Cuba has a population of about 3,000,000,000. Prince Praja Dhipok, new king of Rumania has the radio craze. CRAINGANG BOSS LICENSE TO REFORM BY BEATING, MAINTING, TORTURING, KILLING I clearly recall that in October, 1924, the Mu-So-Lit Club of this city projected a symposium on the president t i a l candidates and issues. Mr. Perry Howard spoke in behalf of the Republican-party and President Coolidge. Mr. Roscoe Conckling Bruce advocated the PETER B. claims of Democracy and John W. Davis, while Mr. Arthur Mitchell upheld the banner of LaFollette and the Progressives. After the principals had showed up the superior claims of their accepted candidates upon the Negro voter, I was called upon for after remarks. I began by expressing amusement at intelligent colored men lashing themselves into political fury over what white man should occupy the White House for the ensuing four years, as if it made any vital difference which of the three bore off the palm. Any one of them would have made a very good white man's president. The status a n d treatment of the Negro would be but feebly affected by which ever of the three might be chosen. I wish now to extend that prophecy to cover the next quadrennium beginning in 1929. The partisan advocates claimed that President Coolidge, who at that time had been in the White House for more than a year, was restrained by the policies of his predecessor, but if elected and given office of his own right, he would then show the Negroes great political consideration and favor. I asked the question which was purely of mathematical character: "If Mr. Coolidge appointed no colored man to office in fourteen months, how many would he appoint in forty-eight months?" The ratio has been with all but mathematical accuracy. Aside from a replacement appointment, no colored man has yet received a confirmatory office at the hands of the president. I then maintained that the moment the President took the oath of office, he was as much president in his own right and powers as he ever could be under the constitution. Deference to the policy of his predecessor was merely a matter of courtesy. The Negro is the victim of the policy of his party, and not of whoever for the moment happens to be its political dispenser. The race need no longer look to existing parties for political salvation. What the Grand Old Party has done is of record. The Past at least is secure. The Negro's only chance is to use parties as instruments to effect this welfare as best he may. Wise affiliation depends upon time, place and circumstances. No party is now going to espouse his cause by reason of the inherent righteousness of his plea. It is wholly a matter of maneuvering for advantage. There is little hope for affirmative legislation, and not much "The race need no longer look to parties for political salvation, No party is going to espouse his cause by reason of the inherent righteousness of his plea," declares Dr. Miller, who believes that the "Negro's only chance is to use parties as instruments to effect his welfare as best he may." It makes no difference who is in the White House, Republican or Democrat, the colored citizen's political status will be but feebly affected, is the opinion of the Dean. The Republican party is an instrument of prosperity, while the Democratic party is merely a body of impotent protestants against the incidental imperfections of its rival, thinks Dr. Miller, who declares the black man's interest in public affairs is moral rather than material. With him, human rights come first and material considerations afterwards. more for appointive office, it matters not what party is in charge of the machinery of the government. --- I have repeated like assertions so often that my readers are entitled to grow tired of the retteration. But mark this, I find that repetition is the most effective method of impressing the thought deeply imbedded in the mind. Now that Mr. Moorfield Storey has given the race the same advice, I presume it will be taken more seriously to heart. Cicero somewhere declares that the simplest advice backed up by weight of learned authority has far greater weight with the common mind. The situation is perfectly normal and natural. A party is but a tool to accomplish certain ends. When that objective is accomplished, either the usefulness of the tool is at an end or it must be put to other functions. The Republican party was born to restrict the institution of slavery. In course of events, it became the chief-agency in fighting the Civil War, in saving the union, freeing the slave, and amending the Constitution in harmony with these great ends. It served this noble purpose as completely as it was calculated to do. This end, being measurably answered, the shrewd manipulators of this wonderful political machine diverted it to other more material ends. I can recall when James G. Blaine by virtue of his magnetic personality, shifted the Grand Old Party from the issue of human rights to that of material prosperity. This has been its chief function from the late eighties till the present time. The rights of the Negro have new become but a past memory. As an instrument of prosperity the Republican party is the most efficient agency ever devised by human wisdom. Excepting the Catholic Church, there is perhaps no organization in existence that can compare with it in efficiency of accomplishment. The Democratic party is merely a body of impotent protestants against the incidental imperfections of its great rival. It too is without the coherency of great princi- ple. Once in a while when the Republicans stray too far from the ways of public probity, the opposite party gets control of the machinery of the government. But for two generations, the public has not had sufficient confidence in its efficiency to keep it in power long enough to build up a body of trained men to handle wisely the great national estate. ..... The black man's interest in public affairs is moral rather than material. This is always the case of a group of people struggling under the load of oppression. With them human rights come first, material considerations afterwards. The question of manhood rights has been solved to the satisfaction of the white race. To all intents and purposes, all white men are equal before the law and behind the law. It is only the Negro who labors under serious political handicap. Under these conditions, it is expecting too much from selfish human nature to ask any political party with eye single to the main chance to jeopardize its chances by burdening itself with the heavy handicap. It is useless to condemn President Coolidge or the Republican party. Politics is a game of force. Complaint is a impotent as the bleating of the ewe against the Wolf. It is power alone that gets results in the game of politics. The fall campaign is now ap proaching. Let us hope that we shall never again re forced to listen to the same old out-worn political dope that has soothed the Negro's simple soul for two generations. President Coolidge is too honest a man to deceive the Negro. The race has no earthly reason to be disjointed in him. He promises nothing, and has faithfully kept his promise. Something less than two years ago, in the midst of the presidential campaign, I wrote a release entitled "President Coolidge in Account with the Negro." I also wrote several articles on his prospective treatment of the race question in case of his re-election. On reviewing these contributions I am almost amazed at the accuracy of my own predictions. I could hardly write more accurately, in the light of retrospect than I then wrote in the light of prophecy. The administration of President Coolidge must be analyzed purely in the light of practical political policy. The President is the agent of his fellow citizens to carry out laws and regulations which they have laid down for his guidance. Under our bipartisan plan of government he is also the head of the party to which this government has been entrusted for four years. In capacity he has wide latitude of discretion. If he is hold or aggressive like Cleveland or Rosevelt, he speaks to his party commanding what it should do if he is mild and cautious he wants for his party to speak to him on any important issue. President Coolidge belongs rather to the latter type. He does not lead his party on the race issue.
