Gets Bath and Shave Last May Cooper killed Louis B. Smith near Charleston. Thursday afternoon final arrangement were made for his payment to this life for the life of another. A bath, a shave of head and face, and except for little nervousness of hands and neck, Cooper was calm and colored as he received the Rev. J. James Crain, pastor of the Park Baptist Church and chapel of the prison, with—whom he about his approaching doom. Cooper sat silently as his head being shaved in order that the statute might make perfect cone when the current strikes him the death-dealing shock. Finished, he greeted his visitors, which included besides the minister, Capilla B. E.

SAYS ACCOMMODATIONS NOT REFUSED NEGROES Washington, D. C., Sept. 1.—Recommendation that the Interstate Commerce Commission dismiss the complaint of J. P. Hayden, lawyer of Chicago, who sought $25,000 damages against the Pullman Company for alleged failure to furnish him Pullman accommodations, was made Friday by Burton Fuller, commission examiner. Hayden said he purchased a ticket for Chicago at Atlanta two years ago, but when he asked for a Pullman ticket was ordered away from the window. The agent denied he had ever refused Pullman accommodations to the Negro, and the examiner held that rayding allegation was not sustained. He added that the Pullman Company's practices in this respect "generally are not shown to be unjustly discriminatory." EXCELSIOR BAND WINS PLAUDITS OF MULTITUDE The Excelsior won great acclaim on its trip, receiving tumultuous cheers from the multitudes along the line of march and being openly declared by the majority of the thousands of spectators to have been the finest band in the parade. Captain George W. Elliott, the leader of the band, was accorded the distinction of being made grand band master of the whole group of bands. The Norfolk band was placed near the line, leading the second division, and followed immediately by the Eureka Marehung Club. There was to have been a contest among the bands for a gold trombone instrument, but no bands entered into this contest ex- Give Public Concert On Monday afternoon, upon invitation of the city authorities of Cleveland, the Excelsior Band gave concert in the public square, at which time the demonstration given the Norfolk musicians was vociferous. In Cleveland, it was called the Army Band, it is said, several persons remarking, "none can that Army Band from Virginia" in Eureka Lodge played an important part in the convention. Its delegation stood first and last for Wilson, Bates and Carr, championed by Dr. E. Mills, who presided over the convention during balloting. Dr. Mills, it is said, maneuvered to hold the Virginia delegation in line for the Wilson, Bates and Carter triumvirate. For H. Land, member of the Eureka Lodge, was made grand district deputy. Marching Clubs In the line of march the Norfolk contingent represented by Eureka Marching Club of 40 members; Norfolk Temple No. 1 and Eureka Temple Marching Clubs lead by the band of 2E-pieces made a splendid showing. The men of the marching club wore black alpaca coats, trumped with purple; cream trousers, trumped with purple; white shoes, white socks, purple ties, purple fez and purple and yellow aprons.

Bates, Grand Secretary, at the conclusion of his annual report, marched a most scathing attack upon Harry H. Pace, who was a candidate for his office. He bitterly denounced Pace and charged him with every crime in the decalogue. Pace Replies It was agreed that Mr. Pace should be given an opportunity to reply. On Thursday he availed himself of it and replied in a calm and dispassionate manner, reiterating his charges of misconduct on the part of Bates in office and adding that the Grand Lodge minutes had failed to show any record of the sum of $778 collected for Grand Lodge dues in Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1924. This last charge made by Mr. Pace was the cause of a riotous scene on Friday morning when some of the delegates demanded to know what had become of this money. Grand Secretary Bates claimed that it had been properly on his cash book. With Pace sympathizers and Bates supporters on their feet yelling, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson disposed of this controversy by declaring that the matter should have been brought to the attention of the Grand Lodge in Richmond, Va., in 1925. The election of a Grand Secretary was reached Thursday evening. It was largely an oratorical contest with Lieut. George W. Lee of Memphis, Tenn., and Armand W. Scott of Washington, D.C. carrying off the honors, Dr. Muscle Stiele of New York City, nominated George F. Bates, Lieut. Lee nominated H. H. Pace, Mr. Scott nominated the nomination of J. Hates. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson came out openly for Pace and made a speech seconding his nomination. In the early balloting, Bates led 5 to 1. When Mr. Pace saw that he was being beaten, he withdrew his name and moved to make the election of the Grand Secretary unanimous. Grand Treasurer Elected The election of the Grand Treasurer followed. There were three candidates: opposing Grand Treasurer James T. Carter for re-election. They were James C. Martin of Chicago, III; C. Tiffany Toliver. Of Roanoke, Vn., and John White of Richmond, Va. Carter led the field 2 to 1, but before the balloting was finished each of the opposing candidates had his name withdrawn and the election of the Grand Treasurer was made unanimous. Other officers who were elected are Dr. S. H. George, Puducah, Ky., Grand Esteemed Loading Knight; Dr. Roland R. Johnson, Brooklyn, N. Y., Grand Esteemed Knight; Leonard Foreman, Akron, O., Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight; A. Clayton Cannal Jr., Augugr, Ga., grand auditor; F. Grand Gillson, Hartford, F. Grand Tyson, Gillson, A. Starr, Denver, G. Grand Inner Guard, and William Turner, Wheeling, W. Va., Grand Require. At the session on Saturday, Col. John Marshall of Chicago and Wayman Wilkerson of Memphis, were elected Grand Trustees. In a spirited contest New York City was chosen over Detroit for the next place of meetings. A Fidelity Fund A proposition for the establishment of a fidelity fund, which will provide an endowment for the widows of deceased Elks, will be submitted to the lodges on a referendum. This matter first came up Wednesday and was referred to the committee on resolutions. This committee reported it favorably Saturday. A majority of the delegates, however, have denied the convention homes and the Graft Executed Ruler decided to draw it from consideration at that time and submit it to the lodges. A proposition giving authority for the establishment of two lodges in cities having 50,000 or more colored people was adopted. A similar proposition providing that in cities where there are two or more lodges it shall be lawful to institute one temple of Daughter Elks for each lodge, was also enacted. Salaries of Grand Lodge offi- Pace Replies Election Contest A Fidelity Fund FEAR EFFECT OF LYNCHING ON DYER BILL Virginia Members Vigorously Oppose Federal Anti-Lynching Measure In Congress; Wytheville Belies Position. SEEK TO ROUND AND PUNISH LYNCHERS R. M. M. Lynn, Washington correspondent of the Newport News Daily Press, in a recent release to his newspaper declares: "An aspect of the case of lynching in Southwest Virginia is the bearing such occurrences have upon the situation in congress, where the Dyer anti-lynching bill still is pending. Every lynching in the South adds to the difficulty Southern members have in convincing colleagues from other sections that the crime is practically a thing of the past in most of the states where it once flourished. "Opposing the Dyer bill, proposing to inject the Federal government into a purely state matter, a number of congressmen spokes when the bill last was being aggressively pushed, in the midst of 1922. Several of the Virginia members, including Mr. Montague, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Drawry, maintained that there was no need for Federal interference, and pointed to the record in Virginia in recent years. Public sentiment, they declared, had almost banished the crime of lynching in the Old Dominion. "Such being the position of the Virginia members before the house naturally it must be assumed that they are among those who earnestly desire the fullest investigation of the state's 1926 lynching with a view to the punishment of the guilty. In fact, it is known that several members have so expressed themselves. If arrests and convictions are made, the state will vindicate the strong condemnation public sentiment to which he speakers in the house alluded. Their chief argument against the Dyer bill will stand." Richmond, Va.—Governor Harry Flood Byrd has named Joseph H. Chitwood, of Ronoke, to assist Attorney General Bazile in the prosecution of members of the Wythe county mob which killed Raymond Bird in the Wytheville jail, and then dragged his mutilated body to a spot outside the town and hung it from a limb. Thinks South's Problem Is The Ignorant Whites Writing in the Virginia Digest of August 21 on the Wytheville lynching, Mr. Ernest Mann, who describes himself as a Southerner by birth, training and tradition, makes this statement: "Yet, I am beginning to feel more and more deeply that our problem is not so much the Negro problem as it is the problem of the ignorant, bigoted, superstitious Southern white man." The Newport News Daily Press a few days ago published a letter which it had just received from an annoyance writer who ought to ridicule the newspaper for paper on fearless stand in denouncing the lynching. That letter as it appeared in the Daily Press furnishes most interesting study in connection with what Mr. Mann confesses to be his observation. The letter follows: "editor of the Daily Press you seem to think it very bad to lynch a negro if he commits a crime like the one in Wythevills you do not think it a crime to do what white women and children and I bet it was a man from N.

Subjected to Terrifying Experience When He Accompanied School Band on Outing In Princess Anne County. Men Were Armed and Wore Robes. Father Vincent D. Warren, rector of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, suffered no physical injuries as a result of his harrowing experience last Wednesday night, when he was seized by a band of men dressed in hooded regalia at a point near Princess Anne Court House and carried off to a secluded spot and questioned. spot and questions. When seen Thursday morning by a Journal and Guide reporter Father Warren was cheerful, and recited the story of his experience with no show of bitterness or resentment. He was uncertain, he said, what would happen at the end of his destination, and on the way silently prayed in preparation for the worst. Prayers Against Force As he was speeded away by his captors in high powered automobiles, Father Warren said he thought of his sacred Rosary beads, which he carries with him at all times and which were in the left side pocket of his trousers. He reached for this source of spiritual consolation and as he did so the man who sat beside him leveled a revolver upon him. Two men were sat on the car and the car was laid and did like it. The priest explained that he was going to pray, and while he invoked protection of his Heavenly Father his auditors held their guns on him. Taken Off Highway Father Warren was seized by the band of robbed men while he was seated in an automobile with two other white men on the highway at a point a few minutes walk from Princess Anne court house. He had accompanied a group of his colored parishioners, including St. Joseph's band, on an outing to the home of Charles Woodhouse, a colored farmer residing near the court house. On the lawn of Woodhouse home a band of concert was in progress when the abductors of Father Warren arrived, in seven automobiles. He was seized and carried away so quickly and swiftly that little commotion was created upon those who looked on. Band Played As Men Attacked As Father Warren was carried away the band struck up a lively air with the purpose of drawing the attention of those in the Wood- CHARGED WITH ILLEGAL USE OF RAILROAD PASS George Purdie, said to be an employee at the C. and O. railway terminal here went to Cleveland to the Elks Convention and is said to have enjoyed the gaities most immensely, but George, it is alleged, failed to tote fair with his wife in taking in the good time and consequently arrived back here to find himself in a mess of trouble. What, very likely, added much to George's good time is that he didn't even have to furnish the mazuma to travel to Cleveland He went on a railroad pass, it is said, the pass calling for a trip for George and his wife. However, George evidently realized that wives some much limit a man's pleasure in such trips, so he took another young woman on the pass which called for his wife's travel. Somehow, is is said, Mrs. Purdie got wind of what had happened while her husband and the other woman were on the trip and notified the authorities. When the couple had almost reached home, C, and O. Officer McKeen arrested the man while he was aboard the steamer on his way from Newport News to Norfolk Sunday and charged him with illegal use of railroad pass. When arraigned before United States Commissioner Colonna, Monday morning, he was placed under bond of $250.00. Officer McKeen stated that as a representative of the railroad company he had made no charge of violation of the Mann act against Burdie, but intimated such action might later be taken by the Federal authorities if the charges ALL NEWS THAT'S MORTH READING PRICE 7 CENTS HOURS Unharmed By Band Hooded Men My Experience When He School Band on Outing In County.

A few members of the band wavered and ceased playing for an instant, but the piece was played through, after which the party quietly returned to Norfork and spectators went to their homes, some quietly, some in confusion. The two white companions of Father Warren were meanwhile making frantic efforts to obtain aid for the abducted girl, who was hurried to Norfolk and reported the matter to the local police department. Objected to Presence of Priest Father Warren said his school band and other parishioners were at the Woodhouse farm in response to numerous invitations to bring his musicians there for an outing and community concert. The impression had gotten out among the white people, he was told, that the band was "composed of white and colored boys and girls," and there had developed objection to holding the concert on that account. When local white people had been assured, he stated, that there were no white persons in the band, the objection to the concert was lifted, but objection was made to his appearance with the band. When the party arrived at the Woodhouse farm Father Warren was told that it would be best for him to withdraw, a committee of six hooded men had visited the home and stated their objection to the appearance of the priest. So he left the place and seated himself in the automobile on the roadside with a Mr. Emmanuel, who motored him to the scene of the party, and was seated there when the mob arrived. Thought It Was a "Death Ride" So swift and mysterious was the flight of the priest's abductors that it seemed to him like a "death ride," he said. Three times the car in which he was riding paused at a tree along the roadside, the occupants making hurried glances at the grim "hanging post." But the committee rode on in until they came to a dark place alongside a little recessed roadway, and they paused, alighted and ordered the Father Warren to get out of the car. It was a dramatic moor for the priest, who had become resigned, he declares, to whatever fate awaited him. "What offense have I done," he asked himself, "except to teach little children to love the Lord." And he was perfectly willing to die, if necessary, for this cause, he told this writer. Ceremonies Brief The ceremonies were brief. "What is your purpose here?" asked the leader, in stern but kindly tones. Father Warren explained that he was trying boys and girls to educate citizens in Nortfolk, and had brought some of them to the vicinity on a little outing. "We have been incorrectly informed then," retorted his questioner, who told the priest that they understood he encouraged whites and blacks to mix for immoral purposes. "How on earth did you get such an absurd report?" inquired Father Warren. "We will not discuss that," was the reply he got, and the ceremony was over. After asking Father Warren where he wanted to go they took him to a point within six miles of the Virginia Beach boulevard, where they left him with a parting "good night!" Father. Warren. found: colored man. after considerable跌. wink. in mouth. City Social and Personal Season Wanes, Travel Turns Toward Home The conventions, the summer regents, the quick of the countrysides, the appeal of such spectacles as the Sequi-centennial Exposition—all and more have combined to act the dugnet for gathering throngs of Norfolkians and enticing them away. Some have snacked, and gone purely pleasure bent. For others rest and restoration from the tremendous activity of city life. Some others have searched for further knowledge. They have been coming and going in summer, but with what the Elles, Shriners, medical men and dentists, Business League, Nunss, and numberless others folding their summer concerts attended during the past weeks scores are returning them to "dear ole Norfolk by the Sea."

"But I had only been using this preparation a few days until my hair became smoother 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, and glossy and easily arranged; and stimulating its growth, so it soon becomes long, straight and abundant.

Questions on topics, customs, love or any subject that interested in will be carefully considered and answered. Write your questions in one column on one page, and address to "Naomi" or Norfolk Journal and Guide, 711 K. Olary Road. Will you please allow me to say just a word. I have been in long, guess you and a host of girls everywhere, had begun to think I was dead or gone back to Denver, Col. (my home), but as first said I will be in Virginia until October. I hesitated, to write until the storm blew over. I mean the storm of letters that was pouring in quite so fast as a result of the letter I wrote some time ago. I regret, most seriously regret, that I cannot comply with the wishes and hopes of these many girls and I do hope that each one will soon find her "prince charmings" the man that will be a cure for her loneliness. Sorry, but there is no way I can meet them all, although I hold the highest estimation for all that replied and I do fully appreciate and thank you for the space given that these letters might be published in your most valuable paper. I believe it shows the "sheiks" everywhere the type of men that real worthwhile wife desire. I always read your column and waited all this time to see a letter from a boy, but believe they manage their own affairs. Tell the girl that wanted to know the stamp language I say I'm sorry I cannot be of service to her, but that is a good one on me. Now, I shall close hoping you will remember me by the name I used formerly. Flapper Shy. Dear Flanner Shv: What was the grand idea in writing to the paper or to me and secure all those answers if you did not intend to write my girls. Please do not feel that all the letters that came in were intended for you because I am sure only those that called your name were meant for you. (Isn't that right girls?) Don't worry, dear boy, they will find their "prince charming" and when they do they will find he is in earnest and not playing. The stamp language was sent in for clean last week. Naomi. INDIFFERENCE THE BEST REMEDY Diar Naomi: You have given such good advice I hope you will help me. Mine is a love problem too. I am in love with a very dear boy or any way that is what I say, but here is the problem: He prettens to me that he thinks the world of me and he is going with a married woman and knows she is married, but she does not stay with her husband and when he gets in my presence and she is there he is afraid to notice me and then when she is not around he acts as if he thinks the world of me. I don't like that, but I love this toy dearly and feel that I can never give him up. Please tell me Here's a for you a in the Pepper sugar-coated jac Another treat in flavored gum inside That's Wrigley Chewing —utmost value in delight. It's really doubl and inside—a dou And it's double value in the pleasure and benefit it provides. Wrigley's adds a zest to work and play. what to do as I am awful worried. Brown Eyes. Dear Brown Eyes: Let your conscience be your guide. You do not like the treatment he is showing you. Why? Because you know it is not right. My dear child, any time a man treats you that way, why it is time to let him slide and turn your thoughts elsewhere. Have enough strength of character to let him alone and ignore him a little while and maybe he will find out for himself whether he wants to go with you or her and if he continues to go with her why take your medicine like a little woman and look for another fellow. Loads of good boys are walking around. Nanni. "What Do Women Talk About" By JESSE O. THOMAS (For Associated Negro Press.) There is a trite saying of pretty general acceptance that if one wants to get news abroad quickly and in active circulation, there are three sources immediately available—"telegraph, telephone, and tell a woman". The latter is supposed to be the most prolific in its out-reach. The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs has just closed its 15th bi-centennial session in Oakland, California. According to press reports this was perhaps the largest attended convention the association has held in its history. Pullman cars carrying delegates from practically every eastern state, joined the "Federation Special" at Chicago on July 25th. At 11 o'clock on the evening of this day, a special Pullman train, with some 264 delegates representing an equal number of leading families of our race group, started westwards across the Rockies, headed for the convention city in the state of "fruit and flowers", as well as the home of "movie stars". Railroad officials are said to have said "this is the largest special train ever drawn over our lines." Incidentally, the writer has been engaged for the past three months in an effort to secure a sufficient number of delegates to attend the National Negro Business League to guarantee one Pullman car from the Seaboard section of the south to Cleveland, O. We are leaving this afternoon and the situation is still doubled. According to the newspaper dispatches, the delegates assembled discussed a permanent scholarship fund to aid deserving girls in securing education, the Mary B. Talbert Memorial Fund to commemorate her life and work, the renovation of the Douglass Home as a "National Shrine," the permanent headquarters for the Feder- SUMMER'S MOST REFRESHING DRINK IS GOOD ICED TEA!

Towards the National Headquarters party project, the women subscribed $10,000, paying $500 of the amount in cash on the spot. If the press releases are at all accurate, it would appear that these serious-minded, clear-thinking, courageous women talk about the various measures of injustices, inequality, as well as opportunity and responsibility of our race group. What is more, they set emotion and get stimulant, and influence calculated to satisfy many of our human needs. If these are the things women "talk about," the writer would suggest that in addition to the telegraph, telephone, and tell a woman procedure" that we tell some of our "He-Male" organizations to "Go Thou and Do Likewise."

Has Your Husband Got Indigestion? Nothing creates domestic discord quicker than an attack of indigestion, and nothing gets rid of indigestion quicker than Bisurated Magnesia. No man can be sweet tempered, good natured or even fair minded when his stomach is constantly sick, sour, gassy, and upset with after-cating distress. If your husband has stomach trouble neither scold or pity him, but help him by seeing that he has a supply of Bisurated Magnesia (either powder or tablets) constantly at hand. A teaspoonful of powder or two tablets taken in a little water after meals will instantly neutralize the acids in his stomach that are causing his trouble and he can enjoy his meals with no more fear of indigestion. Bisurated Magnesia is the special form of Magnesia used by thousands to neutralize stomach acidity and quickly overcome Indigestion—do not confuse with Milk, Carbonate, Block or Citrate of Magnesia. Insist on Bisurated. Its action is safe, prompt and sure and it can be obtained at small cost from any reliable drug store. was served. Atty. Howell was toastmaster.

Andrew 'Rube' Foster Is Committed To Psychopathic Ward MATCH WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR GAME SAYS TEX By Associated Negro Press New York, Sept. 2—With a fistful of telegrams to corroborate his statement, Tex Rickard declared that Jack Dempsey, who holds the heavyweight boxing title of the world, would rather fight Wills than Tunney. Rickard's statement, in view of Dempsey's consistent and successful efforts to evade meeting Harry produced quits a laugh in boxing circles, as did his further statement that he had essayed diligently to stage a Wills-Dempsey bout. Wills' popularity with the fight fans has been established and the opinion of the powers that be relative to a bout with Dempsey is clearly evidenced by their refusal to sanction the Dempsey-Tunney fight. "My experience with the Jeffries-Johnson but long ago convinced me that a Dempsey-Wills match would not be a good thing for boxing," said Rickard. "As because he talked with persons of influence I saw no reason to change my opinion." this season.

GEORGIA Miss Gladys Robinson, Stage Star False Champions and Nordic Supremacy By WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. Do not be surprised if Gene Tunney emerges the victor by a close margin in this proposed shindig between Jack Dempsey, the inert, indolent and evasive holder of the moth covered heavyweight title, emblematic of of Nordic fisticap supremacy. Anything that might happen in this scheduled fiasco should not be surprising. And anyone who wagers on this fight—those out of the knowing, of course—will be taking the gamble of his life. Gene Tunney, the ex-euthernneck—roughneck is the most appropriate—has bluntly announced that he is also a member of that pronounced clan that believes in white supremacy, and that he is another of those powder-puff prize fighters who believes in holding a title without fighting, especially non-whites, further still, especially Harry Wills. This might break upon the tranquil minds of some, as a stunning surprise, but it should not be. Any man who openly affirms the chairman of a body that controls the game in which that individual depends upon for a livelihood, is capable or doing or saying anything else. This Tanney did, when he called Chairman James Farley of the Boxing Commission, a figurehead and a puppet. If he says such things as this, you cannot expect him to have the mentality, common sense and correct breathing to have any respect for anything else. Tanney has been called 'Gentleman Gone', but he has shown his true colors and now it appears that gentleness is the thing that is farthest from him. As a rule, few prizefighters are gentlemen, and Tanney does not happen to be among these few; Wills does. Will Not Fight Any Negro Gene Tunny makes it plain that he wins the draw color line when he wins the title from Jack Dempsey, or when the title is given him by the ex-hobo and unpatriotic Dempsey. He says, "Right here and now, I want it understood that when I win the championship from Jack Dempsey, I am going to draw the color line!" That is a time worn precedent, established by the late J. Lawrence Sullivan, so nothing we did think that an ex-marine would undoubtedly possess a different spirit in regards to fair play, despite the fact that Negroes are barred from the marine corp. He makes it emphatic about this winning business. We do not express any doubt as to its truthfulness. Tunny might be returned the victor. It will not be the first time that a championship has been gone attempt should be made to hide the fact that the fight is not on the on and up, if it isn't.

Tunney claims that Wills did not take the fair attitude by refusing to withdraw his challenge in order that he could fight Dempsey in York and for that reason he draws the line on all non-white leather pushers. But is he taking the fair attitude by drawing the color line, because Wills would not withdraw his legitimate defi? He further claims that New York has been deprived of much cash by Wills causing the fight to be kicked out of the metropolitan city. You may bet your bottom dollar that Tunney, nor any other legalized practitioner of may he and manslaughter is more interested in what a court can receive than he of what he will profit. Tunney prefers fighting in New York, not because it is his home town, nor because he wants New York to profit by the fight. He wants to fight in New York because it will mean more to him. If he possessed so much civic pride, he would not have pushed his claim for a fight with Dempsey in opposition to Wills' challenge and causing the sport to get the black eye it has received because of so much wrangling. Does Not Help The Cause Tunney's attitude towards the Negro fighter and Harry-Wills, especially, does not in the least help his cause. If he draws the line after receiving the title, it will only prove that he is like most other white champions, a firm believer of Caucasian supremacy. From Tunney's assertions, it can be clearly seen that other attaches to make the heavyweight title safe for Caucasians, and that the domains of the regal thrones shall never again be darkened by the approach of a non-Caucasian. It is or was not expected that Tunney's gaining of the title would let down the color bar. He would be like all other pseudo-superior white priests, naving fear, risking his life, and being in whether red, white polka-dot or green and where superiority rests in individual baity and not in colors or creeds; where a vaunted Nordic is what he is, because of his merits and a non-Caucasian—ditto. About Blackened Eyes The Genial Gene, further contends, speaking about Mullins and Wills, "They were instrumental in driving the fight out of the state, thus depriving the state of about $75,000 or $100,000 in needed taxation money. By refusing to step out of the way, and by insisting upon their burlesque rights they finally made a burlesque of the whole thing and dealt boxing in New York the perpetual black eye, "Ain't men funny, especially vain-incantious Caucasians. Why should Wills and Mullins step out of the way when the License Commission holds that Harry, or Harlem is the logical contender and the champion cannot fight in New York until he complies with certain clauses in the commission's constitution a pertaining to the defense of titles? Tunney, himself, probably self-styled Gentleman Gene, should have stepped out of the way, thus niding the solos of his home town in enforcing their edicts. This would have been the sportsmannals' act and the appellation would fit the ex-rougneckness—I mean Luthearnck. Tunney was instrumental in driving the fight from New York not Wills, thus giving him in court in it. Dopey black opus 11. If Dovey had fought to settle the parennial ballyhoo, Tunney have got his chance at the title soon enough. He would have been deemed the logical contender for the title irrespective of the winner, but no, this is an entire and absolute white affair and all Senegambians must be thrust aside. It is neither politics, money or fear on the part of a white champion not doing battle with a son of Ham. It is purely a case of not having white supremacy threatened. Had the gods decreed that Harry Wills been born Jew, Italian, Greek, Turk, or any other nationality whose skin was not darkened by remaining in the oven too long, he would now been champion or a past issue, for he would have had his chance at bouncing a right or left foot to freak nose of Hizsomer Jack Deloke, of Hollywood and elsewhere. Gene Tunney's popularity will be rather limited when he is given the title, because there are those who are tired of these false or racial champions. When Tunney gets the title, he will be the champion of the whites and not of the world, a very large space, where all colors of men form its population. Wills has been recognized as colored champion of the world, which makes any Caucasian title holder, white champion of the NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "Hunch Back Of Notre Dame" Comes Back To The Attucks; Two Big Features Fill The Bill SAYS THE HEAVY TITLE BELONGS TO HARRY WILLS New York, Sept. 2—Paddy Mullins, usually quiet manager of Harry Wills, heavyweight title contender went before the New York Boxing Commission at its meeting last Tuesday and demanded that the boxing fathers name Wills heavyweight champion of the world and recognize him as in view of the fact that Gunny, for a titular con- with the champion, Dempsey, in Philadelphia September 22, stated in one of the morning dailys of New York that he would draw the color line when he won the title from Jack. Mullins is quoted as saying in part, "Dempsey is unwilling to fight Wills, and now that Tummy has gone on record that he will never give the Negro contender, the title rightfully belongs to Wills, who will draw no color lines but will give everybody a chance at it." No action was taken by the commission on Mullins' request. A Zane Grey story picturized by Paramount with absolute fidelity and authenticity, with one of the most notable stallar and supporting casts in screen history and acclaimed by reviewers as one of the most entertaining and thrilling Grey stories to date, comes to the Attucks theatre for an engagement of two days starting next week. "Desert Gold," concerns itself chiefly with the lawless days at the close of the last century, along the southwestern border. Into this seething whirlpool comes the son of a rich man and there he encounters a girl. With her he escapes from bandits into the Painted Desert and amid wild rides, fights and adventure, finds love and gold. Robert Frazer plays the role of the son of wealth and Shirley Mason that of Mercedes, the Spanish girl. Neil Hamilton is seen as lecturer Thorne, of the United States cavalry and William Powell as Landree, bandit and killer. The supporting cast includes its officers, Riggs, remembered for his excellent work in "The Wandered" and Frank Lackteen who scored as a half-breed in "The Pony Express." The picture was directed by Geo. D. Stitz and supervised by Jacien Hubbard of "The Vanishing American" fame. By Popular Demand The management of the Attucks theatre, announcing another showing of the big super-picture, "The Hunchack of Notre Dame," which is to begin will be shown Wednesday night, is confident that the new presentation of the gigantic film production will occasion even greater response than was disjointed the first show in this city, when waiting crowds had to be turned away from some performances for lack of standing room. The general opinion of the pictureization of the great Hugo masterpiece, expressed on all sides after the local premier, left no room to doubt that it was吊映 as a film drama that would "live" and "adorned" to dim the allurements of the mammoth movie in the eyes of theatre-goers. Pela Negri From a drab boarding house in America to a glittering palace abreed and then back again to a rose covered cottage in America—this is the journey, replete with incidents of hazard, heartache and happiness, that Pola Negri takes in "The Crown of Lies," which will be shown at the Attucks theatre the next week. The direction is most commendable, giving evidence of the subtle ideas and adroit effects for which Dimitri Buchowetzki is known. Credit for a highly skilled performance must be given Nath Reery, dean of screen villains, who in the role of an enlisted foreign agent, goes on to the business of "dilling up" the country, the real queen having disappeared following a revolution. Saturday's Feature Tom Tyler and his pals will feature the Saturday's bill in a fast moving western story, "Glamister of the Mounted." All patrons of the Attucks will have to do is sit tight and wait a short while and they will be rewarded for their patience, because the management is bending every effort to get the best obtainable. All of the big shows are coming. Nearly every week will be feature world, which also means that there is no world's heavyweight champion. There will never be until racial champions cease to try and keep titles in their own racial clans. MIND OF MENTOR BELIEVED TO BE UNBALANCED (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Sept. 2—A Andrew "Rub" Foster, president of the National Negro Baseball League, and manager of the American Giants team, was placed in the Psychopathic hospital here WELD, being taken into custody by the police at his home, 1031 Michigan Boulevard. According to reports, Mr. Foster had been showing indications of being mentally unbalanced for several weeks and became rather violent Tuesday when accosted by a local reactor. The report further declares that he was terrorizing the inmates of his home when taken into custody. Mr. Foster has been a foremost figure in baseball circles of the country and in business realms of Chicago. His recent condition will, it is feared, cause certain complications in the working of the League of which he was the president and moving force.

The Elks on the other hand, local inhabitants say, made a fine impression upon Cleveland. A noticeable thing was the good order prevailing at all times. The city was so well pleased with having the convention here that the Elks' were invited by the city manager to remember Cleveland the next time when selecting a meeting place. The Grand Lodge voted to award Thomas W. Fleming and J. W. Turk of the general committee on arrangements medals for their fine work in caring for the convention. Clarence B. Shaw, exalted ruler of Cuyahoga Lodge No. 95, that was host of the Grand Lodge also. The affairs of the Grand Exalted Ruler were handled by Chas. J.

Gifford Pennsylvania announced Wednesday that Harry T. Farrell had been appointed to fill the vacancy on the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission by his removal of Charles Fred White, for "disobeying orders." Mr. White has been a member of the Boxing Commission since its inception, and while the Governor has given "disobeying orders" as the reason for the Negro member's removal, it is, believed that the direct cause of his dismissal was that White voted against holding the Dempsey-Tunney-fight in Pennsylvania. The successor to Mr. White was a deputy commissioner and inspector in the coal region district from which the Governor received the bulk of his support in his recent race for the Republican nomination for United States Senate.

Why Migration Continues n Charlotte (N. C.) Observed, crowds of colored passengers traverse the Southern railroads enclosed that Negro migration free is going on now as briskly as The Charlotte (N. C.) Observer, seeing large crowds of colored passengers traveling over the Southern railroads enroute North, declares that Negro migration from the South is going on now as briskly as it did some three years ago when the exodus was of national concern. The Observer is puzzled to know where these people get the money to travel with, intimating that very likely it is being furnished by Northern labor agents who are again centering their activities in the South. The JOURNAL AND OUTIDE discounts any suggestion that outside labor agents are contributing much to what migration there is. Recent Southern laws have quite effectively throttled the activities of Northern labor agents in the South. It is strange that so many Southern white people who are otherwise well informed on general matters fail utterly to comprehend in the Negro any urge to change habitation from the South to other sections in noticeable numbers except upon outside persuasion. When the Negro goes, his white neighbors immediately lay the responsibility for his going upon external forces, when as a matter of fact internal prompts serve to accelerate migration of colored people from the South with as great a force as external allurements. Self-preservation is the first law of nature and even the instinct of the beasts gives convincing manifestation of this truism. Before the American Congress enacted the present foreign immigration law a million serfs of Europe annually sought asylum in this country with the hope of escaping oppressive economic conditions, and stifling laws and customs of their homelands and with the hope of finding on our shores a broader liberty and brighter opportunity. It is a similar urge that moves the flood tide of Negroes over Southern railroads with the North and West as their destinations. Frankly, this question of Southern migration including both whites and blacks has just two major promptings—civil and economic. Given the opportunity to labor under tolerable conditions and at wages adequate to provide himself and family with decent living standards as well as to assure his children educational privileges, added to the civil guarantees of equal protection of the law that will safeguard his life, liberty and property, the colored man will be loath to desert the South though he may be ever conscious of and may unceasingly harbor a protest against certain other proscriptions bearing against him out of Southern traditions. What does most to crush the heart of hope in the Negro of the South is the near-peonage system prevailing in a wide area of his section and blighting his every chance to aspire to decent living standards, combined with the perpetually harrassing iconardy of his life and property. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that the Negro is gradually undergoing a transition from a purely rural and agricultural economy to an urban and industrial economy. Post-war conditions brought him his opportunity to fill into the great gaps created in industry through the depletion of man power as a result of the war. It is scarcely possible that the Negro ever will be again purely an agriculturist. But a simple commonsense policy in the South would go far to offset the migration, if there are those who frankly would desire to curb it. Southern white people at first must cease passing the responsibility on to external forces; invert their perspective so as to get a close up view of the conditions immediately surrounding the colored man in his native section, then bring pressure to bear to ameliorate these conditions. The State Is Powerless To Punish Lynchers Proponents of the Dyer anti-lynching still pledge to Congress have persistently based their contention for the need of federal legislation to deal with lynching on the grounds that as a general rule not only was the inceptive of local authorities is dealing with this crime been glaringly manifest but that the law machinery of the states in which lynch-law flourishes most is impotent to bring the lynchers to justice. Opponents of the Dyer bill have just a persistently countered with the contention that the competency of the laws of the states to deal with lynching is unimpaired. Southern congressmen in particular have assailed every intimation that the laws of their states were inadequate or indifferent to respect to curbing this crime. Now early one Sunday morning three weeks ago the town of Wytheville in Wythe County furnished Virginia with another lynching, and developments relative to that affair have since furnished the advocate of federal anti-lynching legislation the most unassailable argument that has ever been out into their mouths. Here are the paralegical developments; following the paralegal good Virginians, including the entire State press unanimously demanded that every lawfully run and humanly possible be done immediately to run down the perpetrators of this crime and bring them to justice, so that the Commonwealth might part expiate its shame. Governor Harry F. Byrd, the Governor's vigorous young Chick Magistrate, it was suggested, should bring the whole power of the State to bear upon this disgrace upon the Old Dominion. The Governor, like his good fellow-witness, emphasized the necessity of putting State proponents on the trail of this affair and immediately offered State assistance to the local authorities. His offer was declined. It was again made, and again rejected. Now we are told that the Governor can legally do not make under the circumstances. It is declared in statements coming out of Richmond that the Governor's part in such an affair must be predicated entirely upon the will of local authorities. Unless local authorities accept the offer of State assistance, he declared, the Governor is without authority to act. It is stated that he cannot ever offer a reward except it be supplemented to a reward already offered by local authorities, and no local reward has been offered. This means, bluntly stated, in Virginia least, a lynching is purely a local affair in fact it can be dealt with by law, the rest of the disgraced citizens of the State be handled. If the local authorities should choose to whitewash the whole affair, they have the power to do so, and the Governor nor any body else can interfere. Considering these allegations, is there any cause for fear of punishment on the part of lynchers in Virginia? They know that it is more precarious to bootleg liquor or to break the speed limit on the highway than it is to riddle a human being with his hand to a tree limb. Why, lynchers know that the State's legal machinery to go anywhere it confines after the distiller or the speeder, but when it comes to pursuing participants in mob violence, local inceptitude may effectively become an impasse. But the Governor did not lose hope. He kept his offer of State assistance open, and finally the county judge and commonwealth attorney consented to his appointment of special state counsel to assist the commonwealth's attorney in probing the lynching. Now, we are told, the State investigator may uncarthain whatever evidence they can may, but it must be presented to the local grand jury for consideration or failure in consideration, just as the jurors may please. It is stated that the grand jury has the power to ignore the State probers altogether. The most ardent advocates of federal anti-lynching legislation have never been able to muster such powerful supporting argument as has been disclosed by the lynching of Raymond Bird at Wytheville. Proponents of the Dyer anti-lynching bill still pending in Congress have persistently based their contention for the need of federal legislation to deal with lynching on the grounds that as a general rule not only has the inepititude of local authorities in dealing with this crime been glaringly manifested but that the law machinery of the states in which lynch-law flourishes most is impotent to bring the lynchers to justice.

Unless local authorities accept the offer of State assistance, it is declared, the Governor is without authority to act. It is stated that he cannot even offer a reward except it be supplementary to a reward already offered by local authorities, and no local reward has been offered. This means, bluntly stated, in Virginia at least, a lynching is purely a local affair in so far as it can be dealt with by law, the rest of the disgraced citizens of the State be hanged. If the local authorities should choose to whitewash the whole affair, they have the power to do so, and the Governor nor anybody else can interfere. Considering these allegations, is there any cause for fear of punishment on the part of lynchers in Virginia? They know that it is more precarious to bootleg liquor or to break the speed limit on the highway than it is to riddle a human being with bullets, savagely mutilate his body and hang it to a tree limb. Why, lynchers know that no local nequiescence is required for the State's legal machinery to go anywhere in its confines after the distiller or the speeder, but when it comes to pursuing participants in mob violence, local ineptitude may effectively become an impasse. But the Governor did not lose hope. He kept his offer of State assistance open, and finally the county judge and commonwealth's attorney consented to his appointment of a special state counsel to assist the commonwealth's attorney in probing the lynching. Now, we are told, the State investigators may unearth whatever evidence they can or may, but it must be presented to the local grand jury for consideration or failure of consideration, just as the jurors may please.

The most ardent advocates of federal anti-lynching legislation have never been able to muster such powerful supporting argument as has been disclosed by the lynching of Raymond Bird at Wytheville. The Passing of A Great Educator In the death of Dr. Charles William Eliot, who was for forty years president of Harvard University and for fifteen years in President Emeritus, since 1909, at the age of 92 years, the nation loses what has often been termed "America's first citizen," a summary of his work shows that: "During his years at Harvard the university developed in a way that exercised a influence upon all the schools of the country.

A summary of his work shows that: "During his years at Harvard the university developed in a way that exercised an influence upon all the schools of the country. Dr. Eliot's efforts made education more practical and more democratic than it had ever been before. Harvard had a few more than 1,000 students when he assumed the presidency and more than 6,000 when he retired. The university was poor and ill equipped when he took charge, but when he left it had an endowment fund of $20,000,000 and almost as much invested in plant and structure." But Dr. Eliot was more than a great educator; he was a great man. His unfalling characteristic was uniform courtesy. He was accessible to high and low alike. We have never heard a Negro graduate of Harvard speak in other than the highest terms of Dr. Eliot's unfalling courtesy and helpfulness. He helped to break down the color line in our higher schools and he helped to revolutionize American methods of education; and as a writer and speaker he was active in all of the advanced thought of the times. He was a very wide-awake citizen and gave more than he received to the public. It may be said of Dr. Eliot that a very great man has fallen among us. His good works will long animata hundreds of communities in which his graduates have cast their lots, many of whom have become famous, and the nation will long feel the animating impulse of his high and progressive ideas in that makes for a healthy and humane National life. THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Racing I was on a speeding interurban bus, which seemed to have the right of way. All other cars and trucks slowed up and hugged the right side of the road at sound of its piercing siren. After a while we caught up with a small cheap make of car, whose driver seemed to feel under a life and death obligation to keep the giant bus from passing. For a while the two racing vehicles sped headlong into the darkness, the thirty passenger bus on one side, the wobbling little car with its other cars and trucks slowed up and hugged the right side of the road at sound of its piercing siren. After a while we caught up with a small cheap make of car, whose driver seemed to feel under a life and death obligation to keep the giant bus from passing. For a while the two racing vehicles sped headlong into the darkness, the thirty passenger bus on one side, the wobbling little car with its chugging little engine on the other. Passengers on the bus all sat up watching first our driver, then the other car, wondering what would be the outcome. Who is not interested in a contest? chugging little engine on the other. Passengers on the bus all sat up watching first our driver, then the other car, wondering what would be the outcome. Who is not interested in a contest? But my interest in the outcome of the race waned. I saw the utter foolishness of the man at the wheel of the smaller car. Why did he feel called upon to risk the lives of himself and his companions in this unequal struggle? The bus was travelling on schedule, was due to reach the distant city on the dot. He could have trailed the bus and reached town no later than if he had had the whole road to himself. Besides, the bus was probably ten times as heavy as his car. At the speed we were travelling, one slight turn of either steering wheel by a nervous hand would have smelt smash-up and a death for the little car and its occupants. It would have been hurled in a tumbled mass of wreckage off the narrow highway into the skirting ditch. I am also moved to wonder when I behold mediocrity challenging genius only to its own hurt. The small car would achieve its purpose when it brought its occupants safe to their destination in a reasonable time. It was not built for racing. It was attempting what no one expected of it. So with different nature in people. Some were never intended by nature to be paraguas of beauty. Others were never destined for surpassing brain power. Still others were never blessed with the original endowment of oratorical power. Why need such persons, then, attempt filling places which only the possession of such absent gifts would allow? Especially when there are others in competition whose gifted natures supply them an advantage we cannot reasonably overcome. There is no sense in discounting another's beauty to enhance one's own. Your own uncomeliness cannot be made beautiful by deprivation of another. What sense is there in one speaker trying to outshine another by attempting the use of a style to which his mind does not run? No one expects purple patches from the man who matter-of-fact and has no turn toward poetry. It is positively pitiful to see a sawwoiced soloist attempting to out-sing one whose every tone is captivating. Success consists in fulfilling your destiny, not in outshining others born to different things. But my interest in the outcome of the race waned. I saw the utter foolishness of the man at the wheel of the smaller car. Why did he feel called upon to risk the lives of himself and his companions in this unequal struggle? The bus was travelling on schedule, was due to reach the distant city on the dot. He could have trailed the bus and reached town no later than if he had had the whole road to himself. Besides, the bus was probably ten times as heavy as his car. At the speed we were travelling, one slight turn of either steering wheel by a nervous hand would have spelt smash-up and a death for the little car and its occupants. It would have been hurled in a tumbled mass of wreckage off the narrow highway into the skirting ditch. I am also moved to wonder when I behold mediocre challenge genius only to its own hurt. The small car would achieve its purpose when it brought its occupants safe to their destination in a reasonable time. It was not built for racing. It was attempting what no one expected of it.

Reporters from newspapers are almost always admitted to theaters, athletic parks and other public places without charge. It appears, however, that several organizations in Philadelphia are not aware of this fact. They expect reporters to pay admission charges and afterwards give the affair a glowing write-up with big headlines. There are certain courtesies generally extended the Press.

There is a certain amount of disrespect for the colored press existing in the minds of some of our so-called "BIG NEGROES." They never think of their newspapers until they want something. At such times they can look-up the newspaper. This disrespect for the colored press is limited to the egotistic Negro who always tells you what he can get in the daily papers. The peculiar thing about it is, they never get more than a "stick" which is stuck back in the inside of the paper full of misstatements. But because of their inferiority complex they exult over it. If you expect the colored newspapers to cooperate with you, you must extend the courtesies that are generally extended to all newspapers. This is not begging for free passes, but it is simply setting forth the fact that newspaper reporters are not called upon to pay admission. BookChat SOUTHERN SUNBEAMS. A book of poems by James M. Harrison. Order direct from the author. Metropolitan Building, Norfolk, Va. This book of poems by the versatile lawyer-poet is a genuine source of entertainment. You will open it on a gray, murky afternoon and through the mists of ennui, or sorrow, or trouble these "Southern Sunbeams" will burst forth to send the clouds scurrying away like naughty culprits surprised in the execution of some mischievous prank. If you happen to be sitting on your porch your neighbors will detect a soft chuckling, and, if you are not so restrained, you might burst into raucous laughter The experience lacking, you can join, with the aid of imagination, in the "Colonel's Lament": The mint lay dying in its bed, Its leaves were sere and dry; "Oh, what's the use," the Colonel said. Our sale As he stroked his hoary head—"To raise mint with the ban on rye? Frank humor, subtle humor, and a scattering of ironic laughs do not consume all of Mr. Harrison's efforts. There courses through the poems, nevertheless, a rich humor, like an overtone in music. He joins in with the Negro's celebration of Emancipation in one poem: Doan you heath dat music hummin', and de drummers how day's drummin'. Now git ready for dey's comin' right along dis very way; Wish you see dem hawes prancin' an' de people just a-dance'. What is all dis fuss about? 'Emancipation Day. This may recall lingering memories: How us chillens would he busy, Dickin's chin up for fish. ingreet. Wid 'spectashun we'd be laffin' Tell our bury sides would ache, Wile er waitin' fee dat ginger- bread Dat Mammy uster make. Mr. Harrison has sympathy: Don't knock because he's down so low, You cannot tell how hard the blow That brought him where he's today, Nor what misfortune paved his way. . This suggests vivid imagination: HATTERAS Mithinks, sometime when history were young. Neptune and the upon some subject disagreed. Perhaps some memaid to the some sea lay sung. And long ere danger hells long long shoals rung-- To war for e'er it were decreed. From separate poems these two stanzas demonstrate an ability to paint a picture and create a mood: My heart goes down with the sinking sun. As night draws on her veil; God paints the scene I gaze upon. I hear the world's old tale. Tender as a mother's love. Sweet as lilies in the morn; Eyes bright as the stars above; Smiles sweet as the rose at dawn. There is nothing of the pessimist in Mr. Harrison's poetry. A manly philosophy permeates the book. His vehicle is limited to no single instrument. Dialect in his hands is dialect in the hands of a competent craftsman. Blank verses and lyrics both come under his treatment. Not always impeccable in technical construction, his work usually possesses that poetic touch that biggets forgiveness on this score. And in the end one must realize that form is merely the agent and vehicle of expression, and can and usually must subordinate itself to that expression. Here is stimulating, diverting verse. One does not want always to appraise and appreciate; often one is bored and merely longs to enjoy. Here one certainly finds enjoyable verse that often calls for deep appreciation. Of course this book has its defects, but you do not go into sunbeams looking for shadows, and this is a glowing array of "Southern Sunbeams." —P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR.

EMPLOYMENT IN NORTHERN INDUSTRY LAW PROTECTION BETTER: WAGE-HOMES SCHOOLS HEALTH From the (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot Abyssinia is a long way from the United States and its foreign problems of no more concern to our people than, say, the mathematical theories of Einstein. Nevertheless, if we examine the agitation of the present Abyssinian government over the Anglo-Italian convention, by which these powers agree to respect each other's special spheres of influence in Abyssinia, we come upon an emotion in which our own government has reason to feel a deep interest for it is strikingly like the Filipino emotion that is responsible for the continued demand of our little-brown brothers for independence, and it is grounded in the same fear of the consequences of economic penetration. The Abyssinian difficulty Negroes And Cemeteries From (Columbia, S. C.) State "Negro imagination does not extend many days beyond death and burial . . . the race builds no monuments to its illus- tious dead . . . I have often wondred why it was that Negro graveyards were always in a state of neglect and disre- pair. Now that Kelly Miller, himself a Negro, has thus remarked in print a commonplace of observation, the fact may perhaps be further considered openly without offense. Notoriously, the race concerns itself but little with its burying grounds, and the condition holds not only among the poor and lowly, but in communities where many Negroes live well above the comfort level. The typical Negro cemetery, regardless of the economic status of those from whose ranks it is filled, is unkempt, dilapidated, remote, unfriended. Strange that it should be so, when Negroes, beyond other components in the population, concern themselves so greatly about the incidentals of sepulture. A funeral, decent at the least, preferably with display, is regarded as indispensable. Probably half the race is insured against a failure of that ultimate gesture. Hardship is endured with fortitude that the periodical payments on such pitiful guarantees shall not lapse. A pastor is likely to prosper or not in proportion as he earns repute as a "fumeralizer." But once the body has been committed to the ground with all the pomp and ceremony that disposable means afford, and the spirit commended to heaven, survivors apparently lose interest in both; certainly they are not long, nor to practical effect, preceepied with the grave-site. Does explanation lie in Dean Miller's suggestion that the Negro "has a lively imagination, This agreement, communicated to the Abyssinian government as a flat accompli, has been protested by the latter to the League of Nations on the ground that it constitutes "a pressure incompatible with Abyssinian independence." The British government but of limited duration"? Is it true, as he seems to imply, that the continuing attention given the testing places of the dead is a guage for the civilization of a people? Or can it be possible that the Negro has intuitively sensed and as planlessly reacted to a higher notion, namely, that the inanimate envelop is insignificant? That the poor husk may well be suffered, "unwept, unhonored and unsung," to undergo by due process reabsorption into earth? Memorial honors to the dead are, if understandingly rendered, honorable alike to the departed and to the devotion of those by whom they are paid; but they properly relate to the imperishable entity, not to the flesh that such entity has put off. Here lies John Smith' belies the dearest beliefs and hopes that men entertain regarding their dead. Not there lies John Smith, nor anything with which John Smith has further to do, if we know anything at all respecting them which are taken has replied with a legalistic statement pointing out that the agreement is binding only between Italy and Great Britain and that Abyssinia is free to reject either or both of the projects planned—that no invasion of Abyssinia's sovereignty is contemplated. How innocent that explanation makes the Anglo-Italian agreement can be appreciated by imagining what would be the European reaction if, say, France and Italy should enter into a similar convention in respect of concessions to be wheeled from an independent buffer state like Switzerland. Nobody is deceived by the agreement—least of all the Abyssinian government. When two great European powers join hands to further each other's economic ambitions in the territory of a weak African state, it means, practically speaking, that the latter is on the way to be "sphere-of-influence," which is just around the corner from being divided up and annexed. Abyssinia's note of protest to the League points out that her plum, "have seldom met with foreigners who did not desire to possess themselves of Abyssinian territory and to destroy their in dependence" and notes further that "economic influence and political influence are very closely bound up together." From which we emerge to our own growing troubles in the Philippines. Here is no independent country protesting against a threatened violation of its sovereignty, but a country that was promised indpendence protesting against a threatened withholding of it. The distinction between the two cases is more delicate than is superficially apparent. Underlying both cases, is the struggle between native populations demanding to be let alone and alien civilizations demanding the right, in the name of their own economic designs, miscalled "educating and civilizing the heathen" to govern them. The connection between economic impenetration and rule is real. The one is usually followed by the other. That is why Abyssinia fears the Anglo-Italian convention and why the Filipinos fear the consequence of the new American rubber policy.
