OFFICIAL SAYS NEGRO
EMPLOYEES EFFICIENT
BY LOUIS R. LAUTIER
Washington, D. C.
- "There will be no discrimination between citizens in considering applications for positions in the Post Office Department."
That is the substance of a letter from Postmaster General Harry S. Clifford Mitchell, of the Egleston avenue, Chicago, who had written him comments about colored carriers living in White districts and during that Negroes were neither efficient nor loyal.
Citizen Complains
"I live in a residence district in Chicago," wrote Dr. Mitchell, where there are few or no Neeses. Yet the Government sees to administer its mail service to this neighborhood entirely by express. He urged the Postmaster General to use his influence to give white service to white people and in particular to those wish to remain in the Population party."
New Replies
Postmaster General New replied follows:
Let me remind you, Sir, that all persons of the United States are protected and entitled to the privileges under the Constitution, without discrimination or limitation as to race or color. They enter the public service at any time they do so under the same conditions that are prescribed for applicants, without any reservations. They are eligible to receive appointments upon qualification to positions in the classified Service.
Colored Men Loyal
I do not at all subscribe to the not imitation that colored employees are not loyal and efficient. I record of this Department receive it. Let me assure you, that there will be no discrimination between citizens in considering applications for positions in West Office Department. They receive the treatment and be elected in the rights to which American citizens are entitled, and this to the very fullest extent possible.

Workmen Rescue Man Entombed By Sand Cave-In
Workmen Rescue Man Entombed By Sand Cave-In
New York City, Sept. 10. Buried in a huge sand bin for one hour and thirty-five minutes Thursday morning, William Clark, 35, was saved by the clever workers who digging for him in the pipe in the tight packed sand, thrush which was enabled to breathe.
Clark was at work on the 6th avenue subway at Central Park, west, and 81st street. His duty was to control the chute which allows sand to flow into the concrete mixer to clog. He climbed in and soon was buried, his weight carrying him to the bottom of the pit and the loose sand packing tightly about and Covering
Workmen, realizing his danger, began hacking at the stout sides of the bin, hoping to break knees. For an hour and fifteen minutes the workmen dug the sand, which seem to grow deeper, not knowing whether they were digging or a corpse or man. When their labor was rewarded.
T. Thomas Fortune, of New York, veteran journalist and dean of Negro newspaper men, regarded for years a dye-in the-wool Republican and true to the principles of that party in victory or defeat, who has given the best years of his life to the study of politics as they relate to his race and country, and who has written thoroughly and with a degree of authority on the political game, in the article printed below, advises American Negro voters to oppose any effort of President Coolidge to succeed himself in the White House.
BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE
President Coolidge is very close-mouthed politician. It is difficult to determine whether he wants to run again for the Presidency. Information we has seeped through people put forward to speak for him who we often are as mysterious and vague in their outgivings as the Delphine Oracle of old, or as Jesus, "who spake, not to them except by a parable." And to this day we do not know what the real definition of a parable is any more than we know what a parable may mean. And the enterprising correspondents who camp on the trail of the President have all sorts of theories about the President's wishes and intentions but they give us facts. The gambit is that President Coolidge designates to succeed himself, and the offsetting fact is that a very great many Republicans in high and low places do not want him to do anything of the sort.
Negro Republicans of every sort and every where should be opposed to the designation of President Coolidge of the office.
They do not owe him anything whatsoever because he has done almost nothing to show that they supported him very solidly, for the hirth office he holds.
There has been a great deal of sputtering in newspapers over the fact that some 400 white persons who claim to be Republicans gathered in Birmingham, Alabama, and nominated a lily-wild Republican, Colonel Dallas Smith, for Governor, and Mr. Erskine Ramsay for United States Senate. There were no negatives delegates in the allegation. The Birmingham News, a daily newspaper, alleges that President Cloid Ildg is conveyed through friends a request no reference to the ku klux klan he made, but we do not believe any such thing. The lily-wild Alabama people appear to be working in sympathy with the schemes of Mr. Bascom Slemp of Virginia, who is said to be lining up the Southern Republicans whites, with the purpose, if President Coolidge should stand for a renomination of Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio who is Speaker of the House of Representatives, and husband of Alice Roosevelt, the ambitious daughter of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Of course, Mrs. Longworth wants her husband to be President. If he really in the game to win, Mr. Slemp is in a position to control the lily-wild delegates of most of the Southern states he may be able to round up, and if he got enough of such Southern delegates he would make a considerable showing in the National Convention. He can't delegate from Mississippi Georgia, however, as Perry Howard is National Committeeman for the former and Benjamin J. Davis of the latter, and they are both Coolidge men.
It looks as if the Negro has been effaced from Southern politics as parties are now ordered. He has not got the organization, the leadership, the patronage nor the money, without which it is impossible to accomplish anything. It is up to him to play a waging game, but to keep alive the waging his citizenship and constitutional right to vote and to vote for, against the times when he will have acquired the things needful to make an effective show in politics. How long will it take to do that? It all depends, but that it will take many years goes without saying. It is always a long way (Continued on Page Six)
RESIGNATION PORTER HOOD IS ACCEPTED
Ill Health Assigned As Cause For Giving Up Of Post; Friends Think Inadequate Salary Caused Retirement.
WAS APPOINTED BY
PRESIDENT HARDING
Washington, D. C., Sept. 8.—The resignation of the Rev. Solomon Porter Hood as United States minister to Liberia has been accepted, the State Department announced today. A successor has not yet been chosen.
Ill health is given as the cause for the resignation of Mr. Hood. Prior to returning to the United States he is said to have had severe paintting spells in Monrovia. Inadequate salary is also ascribed as a cause by those who know living conditions in the Liberian capital.
Salary Inadequate
The salary of the United States minister to Liberia is only $5,000 a year, which is $5,000 less than is paid to any other minister of the United States. A bill to increase it to $10,000 a year failed to be passed in the last session of Congress. According to Joseph C. Crew, acting secretary of State, "With the cost of living in Monrovia for a foreigner being even higher it is in Monrovia than it is in the United States, impossible for the American minister, to meet the requirements of diplomatic life and his family necessities on the salary now granted to the post."
Harding Appointee
The Rev. Mr. Solomon Porter Hood was appointed the United States minister to Liberia on October 26, 1921, by the late President Warren G. Harding. Shortly after his confirmation by the Senate he left for Monrovia where he assumed his duties. In January last, he was given an indefinite leave of absence on account of ill health. Reid Page-Clark, white, was sent from the State Department to Monrovia on charge de affaires. R. Wharton, the secretary of the location, could not be put in charge, the State Department said, because he was only a third class secretary and was lacking in experience. Mr. Hood returned to the United States in last February.
Chauncey Northern, Tenor, To Tour European Capitals
Northern, York, N. Y.—Chauency Newborn, the young Negro tenor, who has been singing with remarkable success during the past season, will give his farewell recital here, at St. Mark's M. E. Church, on Thursday evening, September 9th, and will then leave for a two years' tour of several countries in Europe. Northern will open his engagements aboard with three concerts in London, and will then leave an extended tour of Europe, where he will give tours in France, Germany, and Italy.
The European tour of Northern was arranged after several well known managers had heard him sing here, and wanted to give him an opportunity to be heard to larger advantage. The first of Northern's farewell recitals took place at the Sharp Street Church in Baltimore on Thursday September 2nd. In each recital he was assisted by his sister, Ida Northern.
Northern, who has been studying with Leon Reins, is regarded as one of the most gifted young tenors of the race.
REV. DR. W. L. CASH
SAYS A DEEPER VISION OF CHRIST IS WORLD NEED
Rev. Dr. Cash In Address At Opening Of National Convention Of Congregational Workers, Defines Religion.
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 9. "Religion is a transcribe of the emotion or vision of the human soul standing alone before its Maker."
This definition was given by Rev. W. L. Cash in an address at the opening of the 11th biennial session of the National Convention of Congregational Workers Among Colored People here on August 31. Mr. Cash who is pastor of Central Church, New Orleans, La., is the president of the Convention and also assistant moderator of the National Council of Congregational Church in the United States. The Convention is being entertained by Plymouth Church, Detroit, and is meeting in Masonic Temple, 632 Livingstone street.
A vision which bears fruit in service, Mr. Cash emphasized, is characteristic of the Christian religion.
"When man climbs the mount," he said, "and looks into the face of his God, he is forthward down from the ground to the plains where the moon Christian character knows no other secret than this, vision and service.
"It is an interesting fact that men's every physical activity is an effort to express in some tangible way in the world without, as much as possible of that which is going on in the world within. The measure of every man is measure of his vision. The man who is most likely to be lovable and appreciative of the worth of others is the man who is the largest worth in himself; the man whose vision is the widest.
"What the world needs today is a clearer and deeper vision of the Lord Jesus Christ. In order to speak boldly and work earnestly for His kingdom, men and women must see the glory of the Christ."

ASPIRANTS TO TRAIN FOR THE SWIFT TIDES
White Cross Bureau, Under Rev. Simon P. Drew, Sponsoring Movement To Have Negro Girl Win Honors.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 8. Next year will most likely see a colored woman crowned the first of her race to negotiate the English Channel. Aspirants for that institution a number of young women, including one of Baltimore, who, is said to have recently completed a 20-mile swim in Chesapeake Bay, were scheduled to make their first dip into the Ocean at Atlantic City. Friday September 10, at 2 p. m., and dip into the Chesapeake Bay Thursday, September 16, at 3 p. m. from a shore spot in Baltimore.
Sponsored By White Cross
The American White Cross Bureau, of which Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, is president and founder, is sponsoring the swim. He h a s stated that efforts to locate a colored girl capable of swimming the English Channel are not limited to Baptist, Methodists, or any denominations, but open to all Negro girls or women anywhere in the United States.
One year of training is the present object of the bureau, after the proper representative has been ejected. During this period, it is proposed, all expense of the swimmer in training will be borne by the bureau, whose aim is to get the financial and moral support of prominent men and women of the race to church and fraternal organizations.
Rev. Simon P. Drew, head of the bureau, which was organized in New York 29 years ago, is also pastor of the National Cosmopolitan Institutional Church, and it is said, is rated as one of the most famous evangelists of the United States.
Aspirants interested in offering as candidates for the swim should address the White Cross Bureau, 1629 V. street, N. W., Washington, D. C.

Norfolk Council Enacts Anti Mask Law
At its meeting Tuesday afternoon City Council enacted an emergency ordinance forbidding the wearing of masks in public places. There was no public discussion by councilmen of the reasons prompting the enactment of the ordinance, but it is confident that the majority of the past few days that have transpired in this vicinity in connection with masked bands moved Council to take precautionary measures. The ordinance provides a fine of from $20.00 to $100.00 for conviction on the first offense and a jail sentence of from ten to sixty days on a second offense. The Newport News City Council enacted a similar ordinance some time ago.

(Special to Journal and Guide)
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 8—Mrs. Rebecca Green, who claims to be one hundred and ten years old, is entertaining friends and callers with reminiscences of bygone days. She reminisces about the war and says she cooked johny cakes for Yankees and rebels alike on the estate of the Carroll brothers—Charles, Harper, and the later governor of Maryland, John Carroll. Mrs. Green was born a slave, and has been the mother of sixteen children, and she has outlived ten of them.
SAY SOME OF ABDUCTORS OF PRIESTKNOWN
Information That Would Lead To Identity of Members of Hooded Band Withheld It Is Said.
The names of some of the members of the robed and hooded band that abducted Father Vincent D. Warren in Princess Anne county on Wednesday night of last week are known to a number of the colored residents of the county, it is reported. These residents, it is said, fear that if they should reveal what information they possess they will be subjected to rough treatment at the hands of hooded mobs.
The New York World of Monday last reports Father Warren having said he had received information that would lead to the identity of several members of the mob who attacked him, adding: "The only trouble in making public these names would be the possible vengeance the organization of which they are members would wreak on the defenseless Negroes of the community.
Information Withheld
information
"The Negroes of Princess Anne know the klux klux klux members and they know several who composed the mob that attacked me. If they tell the names of these men they are certain to be subjected to rough treatment at the hands of hooded mobs. For that reason I am not going to make public at this time the information I have about some of the men who composed the mob."
According to the World's report, Father Warren has said that he had information that two Negroes were taken from their homes by mobs and badly beaten several days before the attack on them. These men had committed no graves offences, and if they had there were the courts to deal with them," said the priest. "Yet they were taken from their homes and flogged in some secluded place in the county.
"A colored woman gave a party to her friends in her own home in the county, and while it was in progress a band of hooded men rode up to her door and broke up the festivities in confusion. They warned her she could give no more parties. A reign of terror among the Negro residents of the county has been existing several months."
Father Warren's church was packed at the morning services on Sunday with both white and colored persons, each race occupying seats on separate sides of the auditorium. The priest delivered a fervent sermon, alluding to the indignities he recently suffered only in this manner:
"Don't do like the mob did. Don't violate the law. You remember how Christ was dragged the highways by a mob horse, how the highways by the cross He Hifted His eyes toward heaven and prayed for his persecutors in this manner, 'Father forgive them for they know not what they do.' Judge B. D. White of the Princess Anne County. Circuit Court has summoned a special jury to probe the kidnapping of Father Warren.

Insanity Plea For White Who Hired Negro To Kill
(Special to the Journal and Guide)
Wetumpka, Ala., Sept. 8—Clyde Lee Bachelor, youthful ex-service man, who, according to an Associated Press dispatch of last week, signed a written confession admitted that he plotted the murder of his father-in-law, Judge Lamar Smith, and hired Hayes Leonard, a colored farm hand to shoot the aged jurist, went on trial here Tuesday with Leonard in Elmore County Circuit Court for the murder.
Leonard has protested that he was not hired to shoot Judge Lamar Smith, but was forced to do it under the threat of rough treatment at the hand of Bachelor, whose motive was to obtain his father-in-law's property.
A plea of not guilty by reason of insanity will be entered by the counsel for the defense.
This is the third recent instance of Negroes being the "float" for whites in crimes and violence in this county. Glover in Man. Ga. was sentenced to hang a few weeks ago for the alleged killing of a white man and his sweetheart. Glover admitted his guilt, but protested that he had been hired and forced to do the deed by a white man who is still being held in custody. A short white before the State of Alabama was aroused when it was learned that in the notorious McClendon murder mystery which sent six Negroes to jail for life, the real killer had been Mrs. McClendon, white, the wife of the slain Hugh McClendon.
Macon, Ga.-Bars Davis, farin hand and alleged bootlegger, was sentenced to life imprisonment upon conviction on a second degree murder count, for his part in the slaying of Miss Hilder Smith and Miss E. W. Wilson on July 10th. The count under which the conviction was obtained charged Davis with being an accessory before the fact. Ed. Glover, Negro, has been convicted of the actual killing of the couple and sentenced to die in the electric chair at Millegedville next Thursday. In his trial he testified that Davis, the white man, held a gun on him and forced him to shoot the couple, who were engaged to be married, and were known to Davis.

Miss Josephine Baker says: "I was so delighted with the way the improved Pluko Hair Dressing smoothed out and straightened my hair, and made it easy to dress any way I wished, that I kept right on using it. In just a little while my hair began to grow. Now I have an abundance of straight, glossy hair, and it is all due to the use of the Improved Pluko Hair Dressing."
The experience of Miss Baker and thousands of other men and women of our group proves that YOU can make your hair just as long, straight and glossy as you wish, if you will follow their example and use the Improved Pluko Hair Dressing.
This delicately fragranced, soft, fine textured preparation melts at the temperature of the scalp, and goes deep into the pores, nourishing and invigorating the hair roots and making the hair straight, smooth, glossy and easy to dress any way you wish.

DANGEROUS COMBINATION
Darwin Nearest
I have read many of your letters. I think you are very nice and I want to ask a few questions. I am 15 years old, first year high school, light combed, brown eyes, dark brown hair, heavy eye brows and lashes, the opportunist, as the other girl using boy elbows is in love with me. I love him dearly. I am not allowed to have company at home, but this boy says I am the only girl he goes with. One night, with me talking about something and the same, I gave him did not suit him. so he got a certain distance we stopped and I said something and he turned around and went back. He believed something somebody told him. When he is with me his actions tell me that he jovies
What must I do to hold him? How can I make myself more attractive? How can I think he deceived me if I knew he'd find out if he goes with another girl.
Worried
Pun Worried
I do not see why you should be worried. In the first place you are too young to have company and if you are not allowed to have them call to see you at home if you are not able to walk with you elsewhere. Now, if the young man is believing what others say in preference to you, how are you going to tell whether he loves you or not for it seems to me he would start taking your word first. Instead of letting your mind run on how to hold him put all that time on your books.
Naomi.
CONQUEST PROVES BOOMERANG
Dear Naomi:
have resisted your plans of love affaires in the past and I think they are very nice. I have a few questions I want to ask you. I am 18 years of age and I have been having company three or four years. There is a certain young man that came into my life when I did not like him as I do now because I was only doing it for the sake of him but since then I have grown to like him. He is four years older than I.
1. He says he cares more for me than
I do. I don't believe him. Must
I lodge him?
2. Must I continue to like him? Don't
as "No," for I really like him.
Brown Eyes.
Dear Brown Eyes:
You see the way things are happening now. Well, that is too bad but you took him to spite your girl friends and now he uses you no pleasure as you doubt you will be able to fall in love with him when you evidently intended to play with him to tease the other girls. Now, you see how it feels to trouble one you love. You are doubting you and you are not fair with you and the other girl. Since you know how he aided you, you are the best judge of whether you can believe him or not.
SELFISHNESS TO BE CURBED
Dear Naomi:
I am a girl of 16, brown skin,
slender, dark eyes and hair.
A young man has been going
with me for a good while and he
seems to like me very well. Do
you think it right for me to have
him or some other girl?
He tells me he loves but one and
that one is me, but when I am not
in his presence he is with other
girls. I am waiting for you to ad-
vise me whether to keep him or
let him be.
Waiting for a reply.
Dear Girl:
Don't you think it is no more
than natural that the boy would
want to talk to the other girls when
you are not there or would you just
like him to sit by himself and not
have a word to say to any one else.
If so, that is selfish and the wrong
idea.

Are Palatable
We are apt to think of desserts more as accessories than as foods, and when the sweets added at the end of a meal frequently causes indigestion.
All desserts have a food value which is determined by the predominating element from which the dessert is made. Desserts such as custards are rich in protein, cornstarch or tapioca pudding is rich in starch; while those containing fat are suet and rich fruit puddings which are served with a hard sauce. These should be avoided at this season since they are heat producing foods and are not relished so much in hot weather.
The kind of a dessert is determined by a type of meal served. A heavy rich dinner calls for a light, dainty dessert, as; fruit, gelatine, ice or a sherbet.
To me not even the most simple men lis complete without some kind of a dessert. To be thoroughly enjoyed it must be tempting and palatable.
During the warm days there is a tendency for the appetite to become sluggish, and a need for stimulation of the appetite; therefore, the dessert should answer this purpose, and be just as cool and refreshing as possible. It need not be an elaborate one requiring a great expenditure of time, but simple and dainty.
Many housewives pride themselves in being able to make some certain kind of a dessert. This, of course, being her favorite one. Certainly you can think of homes where you visit and the arrival of the dessert at the table is the event of the dinner.

From New York World
When five ambulances dashed from the Harlem Hospital the other day to the West 135th street station of the I. R.

said in speaking of herself, "and my parents did everything they could to educate and help me. I'm mighty fond of music too, but when I passed the medical exams I decided that would be my career. But I still play and sing. However, I am glad to be a doctor, and while I dislike talking about myself, I'll gladly do it if there is any colored girl who may be interested and wish to follow my line.
"If a girl can stand the sight of blood and is not afraid of instruments I think being a doctor is an ideal profession for her. Women are naturally sympathetic and good nurses and all those qualities go to make up a good doctor.
"Another thing a girl who wishes to be a doctor must bear in mind is that her time belongs to others. She never knows when she will be free. The very moment she has a few hours off an accident may occur or some one of her patients need her immediate attention.
"And, greatest of all, a girl must like people. A cold, unappreciative doctor or a doctor who frightens patients will never get the best results. I believe colored girls are naturally warm-hearted and tender in their ways, and therefore, I think they would make very good doctors in this respect.
"What was my most thrilling experience? On, horrors! Sewing up a tongue! I was just starting out on my first day's work when a child was brought to me who had fallen and bitten its tongue so that it was almost hang-out of its head. I felt a bait faint, but went to it—sewed the thing up as you might a dress, and after that—it was easy. I could do anything!"

Cod Liver Oil in Sugar Coated Tablets Puts on Flesh and Builds Them Up
In just a few days—quicker than you ever dreamed of—these wonderful health building, flesh making tablets called McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets will start to help any thin, underweight little one.
After sickness and whore rickets are suspected they are especially valuable. No need to give them any more nasty Cod Liver Oil—the tablets are made to take the place of that good, but evil smelling, stomach upsetting medicine and they surely do it.
A very sick child, age 9, gained 12 pounds in 7 months.
Ask any druggist for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets—as easy to take as candy—60 tablets, 60 cents, and money back if not satisfied.

SHAW EXPECTED
TO.START YEAR
UNDER HANDICAP
Raleigh, N..C—It'is Shaw Uni-
versity’s turn this year to be hit
and hit heavily. Coach Martin wil
face the unusual handicap of start-
ing with an almost new backfield
and a line that Has only one first
string man in it. Among the
backfield men who are expected to
return are Captain-clect ‘Jule’ Mar-
tin, Carrington, and Diamond, the
Jatter of whom’ was unable to’ play
last year because of illness. Ini the
line Payne at center is the only
man. Spruill and Bowley, both
varsity ends are expected to return,
‘The return of Hughes, tackle, is
doubtful.
‘Among the list, lost by gradua-
tio nare Gill (T), Ballard (G),
Bowser (G), Mclaren (E), Mitchell
(HB), Doles (HB). .Pridgcon and
Chambers will be incligible ‘accord-
ing to the C. I. A. A, rales, haying
played four years of college foot:
ball. Glancing over this list of
men who will be unavailable for
the team, the predicament con-
fronting Shaw is obvious. It will
take a pile of courage und deter-
mination to forge a fairly success-
‘ful team for the 1926 season and
when, the fact is considered that
this is Conch Martin's third year
‘at Shaw and the year in which he
is expecting to ‘deliver.’
Depend On New Men
‘The only possible variation to
this gloomy outlook depends on the
new men who enter Shaw this
year. Such prospects as Hill of
Fayetteville Normal, Brown of Al-
bion Academy, and’ Gill of Ben-
nett would appear to the Shawites
as life-buoys thrown to ship-
wrecked sailors. In other words,
it is on the new men that Shaw
must depend, with the few remain-
ing “stars! around whom to build.
If, with such a disorganized ma-
chine, coupled with the fact that
Shaw University is the only ©. 1.
‘A. A. School which has no academ
from which to draw men, Coach
Martin is able to forge a success-
fal team, his success will have been
more than deserved. But, stranger

“A five yard penalty has been
attached to the second incompleted
Forward pass in addition to the loss

play is plain and reads as follows:
Ai there already has been one or
more incompleted passes in the se-
ries of four downs, in which the
pass occurs, the side which made

five yards hack of the spot of the

not discourage forward passing by
teams which are behind and which
need points to win or tie in the clos-

conditions the.five yard penalty is
a trivial matter.

American Giants in a five game
series, losing three out of the five.
and dropping to second place in
the standing. It was a mighty
battle staged by these two clubs
for the leadership of the league.
but the Giants had the punch at
the eritical moments, and the heavy
stick work when hits were nesded.
Both clubs got good pitching but it
takes more than good pitching to
beat a club that shows practically
no weakness in any department.
The Monarch were lucky to get
away, with ,theiv first win. They
won in tht 12th on an error which
should have teen an easy out for
the Giants.
‘The Giants are now leading the
J:ague by a slight margin and
have only five games at home to
play with the Indianapolis Cle

A Sockless Socker qyion. Flowers will “pillto in f
Since Tiger Flowers’ advent to
the game of swat. he hes not, to
this time convinced the -populace
that he carries that potent factor
in leather weilding, an exerutiating
punch. Notwithstanding that, he
has reached the heights arpired to
by all habitats of the realm of
Cauliflower. How long he will en-
dure remains to be borne out in
the near or distant future. His
flashy style of mixing it has ear-
vied him to many victories, even
to the crowning point in his di
vision. At tho same time, he seems
to stand alone ais the only fighter
to veach the top after takins
about cight trips to the canvass.
However, it ix claimed that. these
nose dives and tail spins have not
been at the hands of men in his
class. In view of this, the glow
and glamor of his succtssful cam-
paigming has been blemished vey
little. On the other hand, the
Georyia Deacon has not bech in-
strumental in sending many. op-
ponents to the floor for the doleful
count. :
How much of this takes or adds
to his laurels, also remains 2 mat:
ter of conjecture. One. fact is,
very few sockless champions hav:
long endured, or even boosted their
populavity.
Flowers has been owner of the
title since February and going
along ata pretty fair rate, turn-
ing ‘back one contender who con-
tested his right to wear the crown,
and this happened to be Greb who
dropped the title to the dusty serap-
fer,
‘From indications, the Tiger will
be at the top of his division for
come time ,unicss thers are som?
promising middleweights who may
crop up over night. ‘They must
be men with a crashing punch,
Flowers will hold his own against
the bsst, who possess nothing, but
flash sind dash, It will take a hard
wallop coupled with flash and dash
to dethrone Walk iiller’s chan-
latest Western release for F. B. 0.,
which begins a one day run zt the
Attucks ‘Theatre on Saturday.
Temeing with the novel touches
that mark ‘Tyler's productions,
this story sets a new high mark in
entertainment, and abnunds in
screaming comedy situations that
make it distinetly different from
the usual type of Western drama,
as well as furnishing the former
world’s weightlifting champion
plenty of opportunity to demor-
starte his remarkable athletic abil-
ity.
Robert De Lacey directed the
film, and F. A.B. Pine, the emi-
nent British author, wrote both
the story and the continuity. Be-
sides Tyler and Frankie Darro,
the wellknown juvenile star, th:
cast includes such names as Fred
Burns, Ethan Laidlaw, Earl Hal-
ey ani Eugenie Gilbert.

ANNUAL MEETING OF IDEAL SOCIETY PROVES SUCCESS
The National Ideal Benefit Society, with headquarters in Richmond, met in its fourteenth annual session in Philadelphia, September 7-9, with its founder and Supreme Master, A. W. Holmes, presiding. Mrs. Ellen B. Taylor, deputy of Philadelphia, and chairman of the reception committee, had prepared a splendid program to welcome the "Ideals" to that city. Among the speakers were Mayor Kendrick, Hon. Chas, B. Hall, president of the City Council; Mr. Pater Gibson, E. Washington Rhodes, assistant State's attorney; Mr. Lorenzo White, Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson of Richmond, Mrs. Martha R. Brown, of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Daisy Cook, of Newport News, who responded to the welcome addresses.
The reports of the officers of the society showed marked gains in membership and finances for the year, as well as an excellent financial condition of the Order. The election of officers resulted as follows: O. W. Holmes, supreme master; Mrs. M. S. Payne, supreme secretary; T. S. Beverly, supreme treasurer.
The Richmond division traveled in special cars and the Tidewater delegation led by Mrs. Cora Jenkins, of Newport News, and Mr. Samuel Jackson, of Norfolk, went by Cape Charles.
ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH
(So. Norfolk)
Rev. G. Oliver Wing, D. D. Pastor
The pastor preached an excellent sermon at 11 o'clock followed by a general class meeting and the Lord's Supper. Mrs. Wing, the pastor's wife and daughter, Miss Wynona, were received with a hearty welcome on their return from Washington, D. C., where they have spent two weeks with relatives and friends.
The union services between First Baptist, St. James and Trinity A.M. E. Churches are still growing in attendance and interest. Last Sunday, Rev. Mr. Wing preached from Titus 2:14, showing there is no sin too great for God to forgive.
There will be a musical and literary program at St. James Church Sunday, Sept. 12 at 3:30 p. m., under the auspices of Mrs. E. C. Floyd. The public is extended a cordial invitation with the assurance of hearing some of the best talent of Tidewater.
This church presents to the delegates of the Electoral College, Mr. Frank Greenlief Russell, a young man of high character and of a modest disposition. As a church worker his equal is hard to find. Hence the church desires your support (vote) in electing him delegate to the General Conference. He is a most respectable citizen, and his educational advantages have made him intellectually strong, and his connection with the A. M. E. Church from childhood makes him a worthy candidate.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Berkley Avenue)
Rev. J. C. Diamond, pastor, preached to a full house Sunday a.m., on "The Privileges of a Christian." In part he said: "No one is a member of the church of God who does not believe in Him. Among the many privileges of a Christian, one is that a Christion is able to commune with Christ and can be with Him. At 3 p. m., Rev. Diamond, his choir and many of his members worshipped with Rev. Robt. Harris at Bethlehem Baptist Church on Princess Anne Road 7:30 p. m., the joint meeting was held at Trinity with Rev. Wing preaching. The house was well filled and quite a lively time was experienced. S. M. A. Taylor of Jerusalem Baptist Church worshipped at First Baptist Church Sunday a. n.
MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH
Services began here with prayer meeting early Sunday morning, which proved highly spiritual. The Sunday school met at 9:30 with most of the teachers and scholars present. After an instructive lesson study, each class made a commendable report. At 11:30 a.m., a large crowd was present to hear the special sermon to the young women by the pastor which was delivered from Titus 2:4. The B. Y. P. U. met at 5:30 p. m. and conducted a pleasing program. The pastor preached again at night. On Sunday, August 22nd, Men's Day will be observed and the pastor will preach a special sermon to men at the morning hour. Rev. N. D. King, D. D., will preach at 3 p.m. The pastor will preach again at night.
Every man thinks he helps others a lot more than others help him.
Lott Carey Speaker Praises Norfolk Journal and Guide
Brooklyn, N. Y—Professor Nelson Williams of Richmond, Va., educator, promoter and secretary of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Board of the United States was one of the outstanding figures and speakers at the session of the convention held here at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church the past week. Prof. Williams was strong in his advocacy of racial enterprises and took occasion to class the Journal and Guide as the biggest race journal immediately south of the Mason and Dixon line, a power for good and hews to the line, in defense of the race.
Attention To Portsmouth And Norfolk County
From time to time we have published notices to the effect that unless news for Portsmouth and Norfolk county reaches our office not later than Tuesday afternoon it cannot be published in the current issue. Of late we have been receiving an increasing amount of news from these sections throughout the day Wednesday and even later. Our rule in this respect is being adhered to and accordingly, we have carried over for next week Portsmouth and Norfolk county news received later than Tuesday.
STATE GRAND LODGE OF MOSIACS MEETS
The State Grand Lodge of the Mosaic Templars of America held its annual meeting in Ward C. M. E. Church, Petersburg, August 31, to September 1 and 2. The session was voted one of the best ever held in the State.
The meeting was called to order Tuesday at 12 o'clock by State Grand Master R. G. Elliott. The appointment of the various committees was announced by the Grand Master and the meeting adjourned until 8 o'clock p. m.
A special program was arranged for the night session, when the welcome address to the city was made by one of the city's prominent citizens and the response made by a member of the Order. The reports coming from the various state officers showed that they had been alert to their obligations to the Order in adding new members and doing constructive work. The Grand Master made his annual address Tuesday which was very inspiring to the members. He reviewed the work since coming into the State in January showing much progress.
The National Grand Master S. J. Elliott and his private secretary, George E. Brown, were present. N. G. M. Elliott preached a very inspiring sermon to the public Wednesday night. Much credit is due the local committee for its untiring efforts to entertain the delegates and visitors while in the city. The meeting adjourned Thursday after the election of officers.
APPOINTED NATIONAL
DEPUTY OF MOSAICS
W. E. Gibson, member of the mechanical department of the Journal and Guide, and a delegate to the State Convention of Mosaic Templars in Petersburg last week, was appointed a National Deputy Grand Master of Mosaics by National Grand Master S. J. Elliott, of Little Rock, Ark. Mr. Gibson, who is a native of Little Rock, has been active in the councils of the Mosaics during their operation in this State, and his appointment comes as a deserved recognition of his work for the Order.

Clark's head and shoulders appeared and he was conscious, through carefully saving his breath. A barrell was jammed down over his head and shoulders to prevent the sand again sliding and undoing the work of his fellows. Fifteen minutes later the crew were able to move the entombed man. By this time, a harness and swing had been rigged so that Clark would be hoisted out of the treacherous, clinging, stifling sand. He was swung in the air and lowered to the ground.

from the bottom to the top, and it seems longer to the climber than to the onlooker. But there is no other way.
The only hopeful sign in the situation is the fact that the Negro in the Northern and Western states appears to be improving his position in politics, and as he has a free right to vote and be voted for we should have a great deal of substantial gain in the next few years, especially in elective offices.
But the Negro everywhere should keep alive as best he can his constitutional right to vote and be voted for, and he should set his face as a flint against any movement in Congress, such as the reduction of representation in Congress, which will justify the states in disfranchising him by accepting the penalty for so doing. We get our citizenship fro the United States and the states in which we reside, and we should not allow the states to deny or abridge our right to vote and be voted for by act of Congress and in defiance of the Federal Constitution.

U. N. I.

The excursionists will go to Claremont to inspect the educational plant. The Negro World, organ of the U. N. I. A. is now asking for donations of the members of the organization to a fund for development of Smallwood Corey.
Internal Dissension
Internal Dissertation.
There seems, however, still to be considerable dissension in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This week the anti-Garvey wing of the organization headed by George A. Weston, as president general, made a public release it has sent out to the newspapers denouncing Garvey and declaring that he and his chenchmen have been ousted of the leadership of the organization and other officers whose names are listed elected in their stead. The release declares in part as follows:
"The extraordinary misconduct, misuse of official power, and swollen ambitions of Marcus Garvey, the late President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been responsible during the past six years for the squandering of funds of the organization, the disruption of its work and the abortion of its policies. Unfortunately also the public has up to now seen only Garvey and knows little if anything of the organization which he has so gravely misrepresented. At this time therefore the organization is faced with the immediate task of setting its house in order and re-establishing itself in the esteem and respect of the world.
"Mareus Garvey was convicted and sentenced to serve a term of imprisonment in the United States penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., after a fair and impartial trial. Dring this trial his ludicrous anties would have aroused the laughter of the Negro peoples of the world had they not been so humiliating to the organization of which he was a high executive officer and whose funds he was lavishly misappropriating in a grandiose effort to keep from paying the penalty of his crime. In the same fashion as he had before misused the funds of the Association and abused the power of his office to advertise his name, he attempted to centre the entire control of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the hands of certain personal satellites. He appointed unconstitutionally to the position of control a man whom he had thrice before denounced before the organization as dishonest, immoral, inefficient and totally unfit for executive office.
"By these measures he planned to maintain his despotic control of the organization until his release from prison, when by posing as a martyr he again hoped to victimize and exploit the organization and the illiterate masses of his race. To this end records of the organization have been removed, its program disrupted and its funds diverted to the purpose of propagandizing to arouse sympathy and to cover the misdemeanors of Garvey, even the official organ of the Organization, the Negro World, being prostitute for this purpose.
"After reasoning vainly with Garvey and his henchmen, the organization has been compelled to take definite steps against him. As a result, certain misguided elements have withdrawn themselves from the Association and calling themselves "Garveyites" are holding meetings and carrying on a mail and press campaign in the interest of Garvey, using for that purpose the misappropriated funds of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
"Liberty Hall, 120 West 138th street, New York City, continues to be the Headquarters and general meeting-place of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and it is planned to erect here the executive offices and Convention Hall of the organization. Funds for this purpose were placed in the hands of Garvey five years ago, but were misappropriated by him to other purposes."
Many Remain Loyal
In spite of the position taken by this element of the organization, which retains Liberty Hall as Headquarters, denounces Garvey and uses printed letterheads of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Negro World is still retained by the Garvey wing of the organization, and each week a representative number of Garvey's loyal followers contribute letters to that paper denouncing the Weston followers. At the aforementioned mass meeting in the Commonwealth Casino of the Garvey followers, the spirit of the meeting and the loyal
W. D. BROWN, Secretary
followers of the founder of the organization was expressed by one of the speakers, Fred E. Johnson, a special field representative in the following manner:
"I want to leave just one word with you to encourage you, and that is this: "You are not fighting the Association's battles alone. You have millions of black men and women, boys and girls, scattered in various parts of the world, who see life just as you see it in the New York Local; who believe that the organization cannot exist and prosper if the name of Garvey is eliminated. We laugh at the cowardly individuals who are now fighting Marcus Garvey and who had a chance to oppose Marcus Garvey when they were in the Executive Council with him at 56 West 135th street. But since Marcus Garvey was handcuffed and locked behind bars a few synephotic cowardly Negroes feel at liberty to get up and slander and willify the man. But you and I will fight Marcus Garvey's battles while he is in prison. We are not going to fight by making a lot of noise on the street corners, but we will fight in a quiet and scientific manner, planting deeply in the minds of black men and women the principles of Garveyism.
"When Marcus Garvey dies, then we will look forward to the com-

ing of another Marcus Garvey, but as long as he lives we will know no other leader but Marcus Garvey, whether he be in prison in the United States or in exile in any quarter of the globe.
"And why should not we reverence Marcus Garvey? We must reverence him because he has caused the scales to be removed from our eyes. He has come to us with a practical program. Were it not for Marcus Garvey you and I, perhaps, would today have no real incentive to life and living. It is he who has given an impetus to Negro business and enterprises of whatever sort. It is he who has made us hold up our heads as men and women, confident in the knowledge that we are as other men are and there is naught for which we need feel ashamed." (Applause.)
The split of the organization occurred during the recent convention in New York. Fred O. Toote is acting president general, while Marcus Garvey is president general of the Garvey wing of the N. N. L.A.; W. A. Wallace is secretary-general and Levi F. Lord is chancellor. Whether the new U. N. L.A. will be able to exist and hold a following after Marcus Garvey is released from the penitentiary remains to be seen.

Many of these magazines can be borrowed for one week. On the titles are one of the best books are published, such as reference books, books on poetry, travelling science, philosophy, sociology, and many other branches of knowledge. The novels on the titles are many. Miss Marian Mer has been one of the librarians of the novel. During vacation she has read three four novels during a week, now she is giving a few points to the novel, the greatest library Miss Palmer says: "Arrange to say, upon mention, the word novel the average individual thinks of naught except in which the ideas tend to demoralize. Novels like all known to the human being both good and bad. It will be unnecessary to discuss the war because its content is ob
novels can be uplifting to any who reads them with an open mind to accept their object. There are several kinds of novels: domestic, society, historical, social life, and psychological. Every kind of activity is reflected in the real; all sorts of problems disfigured, abuses exposed and reforms enacted.
Novels whose main object is to meet the condition of the home society during any particular mood, are called domestic or so-called. Such conditions are usually sarcistically or in such a real manner that all chances of probability are erased. The historical novel is self-explanatory, a social-reform novel is one in which the necessary and most obvious reforms of that day and time interwoven into the main theme that none could possibly escape. The psychological novel is the result in which the motives of the characters—their inner lives—are carefully analyzed by the novelist, the results of certain actions are known in the light of cause and tragedy the consequences of self-indulgence; the need of self-confidence on the part of the individual for the larger good of the community or race. Some great law is always impressed.
Two novels, The Tale of Two
Silos and Silas Marner, have withdrew
the test of time because of their
style and lesson. The form-
by Charles Dickens, is a story
of the French Revolution with
Bronion and Paris as places of in-
struction and preaches a sermon on
sublime text, "Greater love
no man than this, that a
law down his life for his
child" the latter by George Eliot
of a story hermit, Silas
Marner, who was saved from self-
lessness and despair by the love
a little child.
Thus, we can see, notwithstand,
the repugnant attitude of many
novels in general, many of
most helpful and inspiring ad-
ditions have been forced to come
by the pen of the novelist,
which have not only been a source
of information but contributed
only in the development of hu-
man society.
the summer reading course for
children will close in September.
A large number of children
manifested an interest in the

Statement On Voting Privileges In the South Challenged by Pickens
William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and nationally known lecturer and protagonist of constitutional rights, recently wrote a strong letter to the editors of the New York Herald-Tribune challenging statements in the letter of Alexander Sidney Lanier that recently appeared in that paper in which Mr. Lanier challenged a statement of Henry J. Allen's article to the effect that there is discrimination against the Negro as a voter in the South.
Mr. Pickens refutes Mr. Lanier's assertion that the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution does not guarantee to every man without regard to race the right to vote.
His letter reads as follows:
"To the Editors of the New York Herald Tribune:
"The letter from Alexander Sidney Lanier, of Washington, D.C., in your issue of August 9th, is hopelessly wrong in its implications that there is no discrimination against the Negro as a voter in the South. But we are not going to deal with the mere implications, we are going to challenge the absolute truth of two of his statements.
"First he denies emphatically that "the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution guarantees to every man, 'without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude,' the right to vote."
And to prove that it does not, he quotes from the Amendment: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, or previous condition of servitude."
Lanier's Reasoning
"That does not seem to Mr. Lanier to guarantee to anybody the 'right to vote,' since it does not make voting necessary at all, but simply guarantees against race discrimination if and when there is voting. Mr. Lanier forgets that this provision must be taken together with that earlier provision of the same Constitution which says: "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican form of government."
"Now everybody knows that no Republican form of government can exist without voting, however restricted this voting may be, and the 15th Amendment guarantees to overly man that this restriction shall not lie against his race. In brief, the 15th Amendment only guarantees against race discrimination where voting is allowed at all, and At IV, of the original Constitution, by guaranteeing a Republican form of government, makes voting necessary. States may restrict but cannot altogether drop popular suffrage—and the restriction cannot lie against race. Hence, the guarantee. If an idiot or an ignorantus is denied the right to vote on account of his idocy or ignorance, this still idiot or ignorantus is guaranteed the right to vote "without regard to race."
"In the same letter Mr. Lanier also says with emphasis: 'At present there is absolutely nothing in the constitutions or laws of any Southern state that infringes or in any way violates this Amendment—the ignorant and prejudiced charges that are constantly being made to the contrary notwithstanding."
Statement Untrue
"This statement is so absolute, universal and unconditional that to refute it will require only one example to the contrary. Here it is; from the latest revised constitution of Texas: 'in no event

shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic primary election held in the State of Texas, and should a Negro vote in a democratic primary election, such ballot shall be void and election officials are herein directed to throw out such ballot and not count the same.' "This is from the constitution of Texas. We will not stop to quote from the laws based on this constitutional discrimination. In this case one swallow makes a summer.
"And now one word as to the implication: that there is no discrimination: even in Southern states where the letter of the law avoids a plain statement of discrimination, so as to avoid technical conflict with the 15th Amendment, the law is made with the plain intention, as the words of the lawmakers show, to enable the administration of the law to discriminate against Negroes. For example, the law will require educational "fitness" of candidates for registration, and then to add that the lawmakers to judge the Negroes "fitness". Such tricks are too numerous to mention here but we would offer to debate them thoroughly with Mr. Lanier or anybody else."

THINKS RELIGION IS DANGEROUS TO YOUNG MINDS
THINKS RELIGION IS DANGEROUS TO YOUNG MINDS
(By the Associated Negra Press)
New York City, Sept. 1.—That churches do not lessen crime, and that religious training is no antidote to criminal tendencies in children is contended in a striking article by Samuel Ornitz, author of *Hunch*, *Franch and Joul*, and for many years a Brooklyn, N. Y., social worker, in the September issue of the NEW MASSES.
"Gerald Chapman, most famous of recent assassins, had a splendid Catholic training," says Ornitz.
"He showed such promise that his aunt wanted to make a priest of him."
"The Whittemore Gang—Protestant, Jewish, and Catholic—had their day of fame by killing ruthlessly and stealing a million dollars worth of jewelry. They all had religious training."
Ornitz, who for twelve years handled juvenile delinquency cases as an expert in the Childrens Society of Brooklyn, declares under the title, "Do the Churches Corrupt Youth?" that most notorious criminals of recent years had received thorough religious training in youth, that intense study of religion in childhood is declared by scientists to lead to sexual crimes, and that ministers are often responsible for the production of criminals, since, "they get first chance at the child."
The author suggests that religious training should be postponed until the child's mind is more mature. Perhaps religious instruction is for the poor mind to withstand. he writes, "Pehaps it should be delayed until later in life when the intellect can stand the strain of the many horrors and monstrosities that are bound up with the standard religious interpretation of God."
"I have first-hand contact with the family history of gunmen, panders, prostitutes, murderers, rapists, grandshale embezzlers, burglaries, baby Borgias, hold-up artist. It is extremely rare to find a man or woman answering for some heinous crime who has not had some sort of religious training, simple or elaborate.
"The Catholic killer wears his scapular about his neck."
"The Jewish Kid Dropper murderer has a sacred Palestinian talisman in his vest pocket."
"The Protestant clergyman who poisoned his masters hand reins before he answers to the District Attorney."
"In my work in the Children's Society, I interviewed hundreds of boys and girls and read thousands of similar Slum, middle class, upper crust, all contributed cases. They were folks that did one thing—well—they sent their children to church and Sunday school."
Jailed For Killing Negro
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Arkadelphia, Ark. 16—Ed Pope, white, was sentenced to serve seven years in the state penitentiary Friday after a jury in Clark Circuit found him guilty of murdering Newt Nelson on a second degree charge. The white man is said to have picked a quarrel with Nelson after accusing him of writing an unfavorable letter to the owner of the farm on which they were both tenants. Pope used a knife in the fight.
Offers Apology For Insult, Then Delivers Blow
Charles J. Wright, of Hunterville, near Portsmouth, will be mighty cautious of the next man who insults him and then proffers an apology. Mr. Wright, a respected citizen of his community, last week sustained an ugly gash over his eye that required eight stitches to close for his faith in the assurance that soft words turneth away anger. His wound was said to have been inflicted by Horace Goodman, of the same community, after Goodman had gone to Mr. Wright and apologized for previous insults. Wright over the head with some unnamed instrument after the latter had most charitably accepted the apology and turned his back to enter a nearby store.
The trouble started, it is said, when Mr. Wright was standing in the yard of his home and Goodman passed through, using obscene language. Wright warned Goodman, it is stated, to desist from using such language on his premises, or he would have him arrested. Goodman, it is claimed, remarked that Wright might summon even the Creator if he desired too. Later, if he desired for his remarks and actions. The latter, of course, accepted the apology and turned to enter the store, then Goodman landed the blow on Wright's head. Goodman has been arrested and lodged in jail to await the outcome of his victim's injuries.
Throngs Attend Funeral of Death Chair Victim
(Special to Journal and Guide)
Petersburg, Va.—A crowd, estimated between 1500 and 2,000 persons attended the funeral of James Patterson, alias Bossy, whose body arrived here from the Stats penitentiary at Richmond on Saturday following his electrosecution on Friday for the murder of Irvin Seid, a merchant, here in 1922. Patterson's body w a claimed by his sister, Miss Blanche Patterson, of this city.
Since his electrosecution rumors have been flying thick and fast throughout the city to the effect that another man has confessed to having committed the crime for which Patterson paid his life. Ths. rumors are circulating among both white and colored have been so perplexed that even then been forced to take cognizance of them. Hundreds of calls have poured into police headquarters making inquiries as to these reports. The police have vigorously denied that anyone has made such a confession.
Patterson was convicted in Hustings Court of the murder of Seid, and twice appealed his case to the Supreme Court of Virginia and also to the United State Supreme Court, but his long legal fight for life failed when an order was received here on July 21 from the Supreme Court that the decision in the case stood.
There was considerable doubt locally that Patterson was not guilty of the charge, and this feeling was manifested in the aid he was given in his protracted legal battle.

City Playgrounds Stage Annual
The annual pageant of the Norfolk colored playground was staged Monday afternoon on the Berkley playgrounds, before the game. The following numbers were given by the different groups from Queen Street, the 10th floor of the Humorous Dance, "Seven Jumps," "Vollley Ball," "Physical Exercise," "Narab Dance," "Halloon Dance," "Rainbow Dances."
All of the numbers were good and well conducted, much to the credit of the children and parkrunners in the direction of Mrs. Rebecca Hodges, worked hard to make the entertainment a success. Mrs. Dorothy Barker describes the success of the physical exercise and the singing. "T h e game of volley ball was played between the Sharks and Crusader, the Sharks win 7 and Crusader 2. Doubie Ball was played between the Blue Birds and Cannies, the Blue Birds win 7, to 1. The narcissus dance, Silver Flower, was presented by the Lambert's Point children, Miss Emily Seugar, director. Other numbers were given by the children of Queen Street Playground, Miss Hilda Selden, director; and Berkley playgrounds, Mrs. R. G. Holkes, director. The children for attendance were given: the children of Berkley receiving the greatest number.
Brown Tells Why He Lost To Ted
"Well, try he tranck with you, Roger, I didn't know how. The answer came from Edgar Brown, former national singles champion at tennis, a couple of hours after he had been beaten by the present titleholder, Ted Thompson, Washington, D. C., in four sets, 10-8, 1-6, 7-5, 7-5. "Brown," we had questioned. "why didn't you smash that ball when you were up on the net? Everybody in the stands was pulled for you to smash it. And the former champion of Nebraska was appointed with playing more "upairers" or intelligent tennis than any other Negro in America, by no less an authority than Sol Butler, confessed he did not know.
Brown explains that he had learned only one angle of the tennis game. The drive from the base line, according to Brown, is a tennis fundamental and should be learned before anything else. Next should come service, then, in proper order, the net play, the smash, and variety in strokes. "It may be hard for you to understand," he pointed out, "why I could not hit the ball hard when I was on the net. I couldn't because so far I have not reached the point of smashing in learning my game. It is a defect, to be true, but I wanted to master that part of the game which came first." Which one of our male players would it take to defeat Helen Wills? we naively inquired. "Why, fellor," he responded, "Helen Wills could take Ted and me both and defuse us without extending herself. Couldn't she, Ted?"
Ted Thompson, the champion who was standing nearby, agreed with his rival.
Brown is a great personal ad-

SAMUEL HUSTON COLLEGE PLANS FOR A BIG YEAR
Austin, August—Samuel Huston College is rapidly making preparations for the evidently eventful year of work ahead and for the reception of an unusually large number of students who, according to reports of the Dean's office are coming from all parts of the state and from several other states.
The Summer School, which offered work of strictly college grade has closed a uniquely successful quarter. Very impressive convocation services were held, August 19. Superintendent A. N. McCallum of the Austin Public Schools gave the address and eight persons received the Permanent High School Teachers certificate and six were recommended for the Bachelor of Arts degree. The dormitories and rooms are having added equipment and repairs, the athletics use recently is about to be put in fine condition and the roadways and campus, already beautiful, are being made more so. Also, plans are under consideration for placing the library in a separate building and making possible a cafeteria for the students.
The new president who succeeds President R. N. Brooks, who spent four very successful years in Samuel Huston and now goes to one of the coveted professorships of Gammon Theological Seminary, is T. R. Davis, who served very acceptably for the past four years as president of Walden College, Nashville, Tennessee. He is a graduate of Howard University, where he spent four years in the preparatory school and four years in the College of Liberal Arts. After receiving his A. B. degree from Howard in 1914, he did work in Sociology in the University of Chicago for the A. M. degree. He taught Sociology and Economics in Philander Smith College for five years, served in the army one year after which he was elected to the presidency of Walden College. professor Davis has written a
treatise on a phase of the History of the Negro, which was published in the American Journal of Negro History, and contributed several articles on Education to magazines. The new president brings to the work in Samuel Huston College excellent training, splendid experience, youthful vigor, modern outlook and fine Christian character. Friends of the institution rejoice in the coming of Professor Davis to the presidency at this strategic time, when the College has forged to the front with other leading schools.
For History and coaching, another Lincoln man, William S. Taylor, follows "Whirwind" Johnson and makes possible a continuity of the Lincoln system. He won, this past year, the 1916 Class Prize, which is awarded to the student in Lincoln who is the best all-around athlete and scholar combined; he comes very highly recommended by the authorities of the University for athletic ability, scholarship and character. Dean Mohn, B. S, Ohio State University, nationally-known coach of Wilberforce, and an experienced industrial chemist, a writer on Science for magazines, recently contributing an article to the Morehouse Journal of Science, and several years a teacher of Chemistry will head the department of chemistry and probably contribute either to the line or backfield of the pigskin eleven, the type of football, for which he is so memorably noted.
Consequently, along with the other well prepared and tried teachers of the school who have already won for the institution the A Class four-year college recognition, the new president and added members of the Samuel Huston faculty give promise not only of holdout students in the front rank but also of pushing it considerable ahead.
The past school year, in February, the Board of Education of the M. E. Church, under which Samuel Huston is operated, onuicated what has been considered very epochal educational instruction, that the schools of the system concentrate on only six years of work. It is noteworthy that Samuel Huston College, of all the schools, was the only school already living up to this rule by having only two years of high school and four years of college. It was last year, also, that the State College Examiner, in the light of modern requirements, rigidly inspected the institution and awarded it recognition as an A class four-year college. State recognition by Texas,

GIVES $100,000 FOR COLORED Y.M.C.A.WORK
New York, August 25—The degree to which the welfare of the colored race is arousing the interest of prominent white persons has been shown graphically in the establishment of a trust fund for the Michigan Avenue Branch of the Buffalo, N. Y., Young Men's Christian Association, through the gift of $100,000 by the Mrs. George B. Matthews of that city. Mr. Matthews is president of the Niagara Milling Company. According to officials of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A. here, is the first large trust fund ever created for a Colored Y. M. C. A., and in their opinion the opening of a new era of expansion of enlarged effectiveness for the Association. The income, amounting to about $6,000 annually, is to be used in work among the colored population of Buffalo.
Robert B. DeFrantz, building a campaign director of the Colored Work Department of the National Council, believes that Mr. Mathews' generosity will do much to encourage renewed activity on the part of the Colored Y. M. C. A. in cities having Negro populations of 15,000 or less.
"There has been heretofore," he said, "a feeling of hesitancy about the erection of new, expensive buildings in the smaller cities, born of a fear that, once built, proper maintenance of the plant would be impossible due to a shortage of income." Mr. Mathews not only has helped to disillusion the public, but has likewise given us an incentive to work toward the accomplishment of our ends in arrears hitherto virtually untouched.
Mr. DeFrantz revealed that seven "small cities"—that is, cities having colored populations of less than 15,000—have been asking for assistance from the National Council in putting on local building campaigns this autumn. Campaigns were conducted during the past year in Buffalo, Little Rock, Ark, Dayton, Ohio, and Gernantown. Denver previously had led the Y. M. C. A's in cities of less than 15,000 Negroes with a handsome building and good equipment. Buffalo is the second to put up a new and thoroughly modern structure, and by the establishment of the trust fund has set a precedent in maintenance.
When the colored people of Buffalo were asked a year ago to give $10,000 toward the building campaign, they responded with contributions totaling more than $21,000, thus, it is said, arousing en-
sirious part of their white friends.
Mr. Mathews, donor of the trust fund, gave $25,000 toward that campaign. His later contribution of $100,000 was made on condition that the Association take steps to enlarge its building plans in anticipation of a possible 100 per cent increase in the colored population of Buffalo.
A. H. Whitford, general secretary of the Buffalo Y. M. C. A. and its various branches, and William H. Jackson, executive secretary of the Michigan Avenue Colored Branch, are generally credited with having paved the way for the establishment of the Mathews trust fund. It is said that Mr. Mathews had been deeply impressed by the work done by Mr. Jackson, since he first took over the secretaryship in 1924.
Mr. Whitford has been endeavoring for the last six years to place the Negro branch on a permanent financial basis.

10,000 MASONS IN BIG PARADE IN THE HUB CITY
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Boston, Mass., Sept. 1—Fentressed by a parade of Shriners, Templars, and blue lodge members of the Musician order, numbering more than 10,000, this city has been host to a gathering that goes down in history. The parade was directed through the downtown streets, and it is said that it will probably be among the last, on account of the congestion of traffic.
Caesar Blake of Charlotte, N. C., was re-elected head of the Imperial Council, and Newark, N. J., was chosen for the 1927 session of the Shriners, while Chicago was selected for the 1929 session of the Joint Grand International session. Ill., was elected Grand Master of the Grand Encampment, and W. H. Perry, of Louisville, Ky., secretary, Charles Gordon, Cleveland, Junior Warden.
The Masons are encouraging the promotion of education, and voted an additional scholarship. Pil-gimages were made to the grave of Prince Hall, the early founder of Masons in America, and to the monument of Crispus Attacks, on Boston Common, where wrestles were placed. The Masons who attended the convention were: Captain Gee, W. Wilson, Imperial Special Deputy, and delegates James R. Dough, Illustrous Potentate; Sidney Burke and Landy Taylor.

An Audience Of 4000 Persons Hears Dr. C. S. Brown and Dr. A. A. Graham Outline Work On Foreign Fields.
(Dodson News Service)
Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 6.—Flushed with success the officials and delegates of the 29th annual meeting of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention held here at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church for four days the past week, departed Saturday and Monday for their homes in the different states as far south and southwest as Texas and Oklahoma. The sessions were attended by large delegations from all parts of the country and with the local public made up an average of 1,200 daily
The address of the president,
C. S. Brown, Dr. W. T. Johnson,
Dr. A. A. Graham, the corresponding
secretary; Dr. Nelson Williams
and Rev. Washington, of District
Columbia, featured with the music
led by Miss Lulu May Hearts,
of Kansas City, were the high
spots of the early sessions of the
convention. Dr. Brown was roundly
applauded as he told of the work
being done on the foreign field.
Forty missionaries are distributed
among the schools and mission
stations in Monrovia and other points
on the West Coast and in Russia.
The crowning session of the convention was held at Kismet Temple Friday night in which 4,000 people gathered to listen to Dr. A. A. Graham's and other officials' story of the progress, needs and outlook for a larger work in Africa. Dr. Graham presided and made the appeal for funds so convincingly that at its conclusion it was announced that $16,000 had been laid on the table within fifty minutes. The total amount raised will probably reach $37,000. Dr. Graham sailed Wednesday on the Mauritania from New York as the accredited delegate from the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Society of the United States to attend the World Foreign Mission Baptist at Le Zonte, Belgium.

"Either," said an actress, who appeared on the same bill with me some years ago, "why don't you use Hi-Ja Quinine Dressing? It would improve your hair and increase your beauty one hundred per cent." My hair has always been a trial to me so I tried Hi-Ja.
"Thank heavens I did, for as my actress friend had told me, this wonderful, delicately scented, non-greasy hair dressing did wonders with my hair. It made it longer, straighter and more silky than it had ever been before. It enabled me to dress it in becoming styles that increased my stage charm. Soon, instead of my least attractive feature, my hair became my most admired physical asset and since that day has always been complimented. Now Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing is my most highly prized beauty aid."

No Cause For Worry :
‘There is always more or less worry con-
‘nécted with money. ‘Those of us who do not
‘have it worry about getting it, and those of
us who have it are often put to a great deal
.of worry in hanging on to,it. In addition to
this, no little worry is brought on by the de-
sire to make a jitney grow where only a
penny grew before. It seems as though
poéts.and philosophers have conspired to
bring money into disrepute, so anxious are
thoy to tell us that the mere possession of
it is a great burden.
Hin more recent times there has come to
us the warning that money carries germs,
Germ experts even wont so Zar as to demon-
strate that a bank clerk's occupation was
particularly hazardous because he handles so
much money. But now this dread has been
dispelled. After exhaustive investigation on
the subject of money as germ carriers two
‘Mlinois University experts assure us that
this danger bas been greatly exaggerated.
jHt-seems that the metals from which coins
‘are mace act as destroyers of bacteria.
‘This relieves us of the worry connected
‘with tho handling of money. ‘The next thing
for’ some expert to do is to tell us how we

* The efforts of a group of white men who
control the sports and theatrical interests of
the country to kecp the championship of
-pugilism in a white man, because they be-
Aieved their money interests would be best
served, have kept Jack Dempsey and
Harry Wills from measuring arms and
matching wits in the squared arena for four
tyéars. But their efforts have resulted in
“bringing the fight game into disrepute in
“New York state and in Pennsylvania, and
~imay have done so in the other states of the
Republic. Commerciatizing the fight same
was bound to result in the scandal which
‘came about when the Boxing Commission
_ of New York reversed itself and allowed the
“fight between Dempsey and Tunney, and the

The New Note In Negro Fiction
From ‘the Vineinian-Filot
Our own idea of tho special virtwe of Du-
hose Heyward's novel, Pargy, is that it views
the Negro as merely a Negro and not as a
symhol. We have kad novels that employ
the Negro to demonstrate tho benevalence of
the white man, We have had the novels
that employ the Negro to demonstrate the
perilous situation of the white man. We
have had a flood of novels and short stories
that employ the Negro to demonstrate the
humor of the white man. But it is refresh
ing ang strange to have a novel that employs
the Negro net to demonstrate anything
whatever about the white man, but morely
as the material fram which an artist weaves
a rich and eclorful pattern.
The very fact that strietly objective
treatment of the Negro in Southern liter-
ature is startling nes far to establish Frank
Tannebaum’s theory that the South suffers
from an emotional fixation in regard to the
Negro problem. ‘There is no manner of
doubl that among vast: numbers of Southern-
ors it is regarded as rather questionable to
think about the Negro at all. ‘The impor-
tant thing is what one fecls with regard
to him, As long ax we proceed under such
auspices, it is no wonder that we flounder
hopelessly in our efforts to find any sound
and workable solution of such a problem
as the two races dwelling logether present.
If Mr. Heyward’s book should set a now
fashion for Southern writers, causing them
hereafter to see the Nero as a Negro and
not as a problem, it might easily rise Srom
the estate of a novel to attain that of a so-
cial document.
President Lincoln And Emancipation
Front ‘The (Betershurs) Progeess-tndex
‘The Portsmouth Star says: “Abraham
Lineoln, the first Republican President of the
United ‘States, proclaimed the abolition of
slavery. in Ameria and emancipated ail
human beings from bondage.” ‘The so-called
“Bmaneipation Proclamation,” issued by
President Lincoln on January 1, 1863, pur-
ported to give freedom to slaves in territory:
in which the people were declared to be in
rebellion against the authority of the United
States. The proclamation specifically pro-
vided that it should be cosiderned as having
no reference to slaves held in Arkansas,
‘Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida Georgia,
South’ Carolina, North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, except West Virginia and seven coun-
ties of Virginia, inchiding the city of Aiex-
andria, which at that time were in control
of the government at Washington. All
this territory with exceptions noted was in
the control of the Confederate government.
‘The armed forces of the Confederacy dom-
inated the entire area described.
President Lincoln has come down in his-
tory as the “Great Emancipator.” He did
not emancipate or undertake to emancipate
a single slave in territory where his author-
ity was not recognized. For the Portsmouth
Stor to say that Abraham Lincoln “pro
claimed the abolition of slavery in America”
is to misstate history most flagrantly. When
our Portsmouth contemporary proceeds fur-
ther and says that President Lincoln “eman-
cipated all-human beings from bondage” we
can only protest that it is endeavoring to
cover very decidedly too much territory.

Pope that “worth makes the manj want of

“American Intolerance and Menace of
aState Church
Freedom to follow the dictates of one’s
conscience in matters of religion is consid
ered one of the chief glories of the Federal
Constitution as it was one of the main rea-
sons why English and European protests
‘came to the wilderness of the United States
and began to build a nation of their own.
Is this frecdom of. religious worship, along
with freedom of speech and discussion and
the right of petition for redress of griev-
-anees, being: threatened? Dr. Albert C.
Dieffenbach, editor of the Christiun Register,
in a exhauscive article in the New York
World of Sunday, August 29, maintains that
the drift is in that direction; not because of
the activity and purpose of the Catholic
Church which champions the right of the
Church to govern the temporal as well as
the spiritual life of the people, but by the
Protestants whose forefathers established as
‘a part of their government the arbitrary
separation of Church and State.
Dr. Dieffenbach maintains that the es-
tablishment of a State Church in Tennessee
and “the rising tide of Fundamentalism,”
have provoked for the American people, “One
of the greatest religious issues in the his-
tory of Christendom.” Just what this may
mean readers of the daily newspapers can
judge for themselves by the conflict between
the State and the Catholic Church which kas
arisen in the Republic of Mexico. “Funda
mentalism began as a religious issue within
the Church. It spread to all the churches.
Today they are all divided.” What appears
to be needed is a “New Luther to kill Amer-
ican intolerance and thwart the. menace of
a State Church.”
Intolerance and race prejudice sleep
in the same bed and are all but indistin-
guishable the on from the other.
Justice Spindle’s Re-election
‘That Justice R. B. Spindle finally con-
sented to stand for re-appointment to the
Police Court bench after having ones ex-
pressed a wish to retire from the position
and his being given the place for another
four-year term by Council is a matter, we
believe, for general satisfaction. No dis-
paragement of the judicial qualifications of

stated that the police justiceship is a posi-

‘occupying it, this fitness essentially embody

of varying human strata and a capacity to
harmonize as nearly as possibly the ends
of legal justice with tho ends of social jus-

Justice Spindle has shown that he pos-
sesses the ¢xact qualifications for the posi-
tion in a very marked degree. Our obser-
vations of the Police Court have been inti-
mate and have covered a number of years,
und we feel safe in asserting that his im-
partiality in administering the Jaw added to
his studied efforts always to safeguard
the rights of those who are most defenseless
and ignorant of their rights has made of his
court a model house of justice.
‘The city is fortunate in having Justice
Spindle to accept another term on the Police
Court bench, Tt is realized that the respon-
sibilities of | this position are pressing and
nerve wrecking to one who sincerely hopes
to serve it in the highest manner, but the
opportunities here to render genuinely yal-

‘A Great Month
For three things are we grateful to the
month of September. They are Fall, foot-
ball and oysters. A more popular trio is
difficult to imagine and as the good things:
in life usually come singly we are thrice
thankful for the providence of September.
There is an axiom that oysters aro in
season in the eight months of the year hav-
ing the letter “R” in their names, ‘We are
not informed whether thore is an affinity
hetwoen these months and oysters because
the letter ‘R” is also in the word oyster or
it is just a coincidence, Neither do we know
the discoverer of thz circumstances and the
author of the axiom. However, it is neither
axiom nor secret that we are jelad Septem-
dir has an “R” somewhere among her nine
Jetters and we are not particular in what
style the first oysters are served.
‘To September also are we indebted for
fair autumn. Where the summer is hot and
the winter cold there is no season quite so
delightful as autumn, It is without the ex-
tremes of temperature, is comfortably warm
at day and somniferously cool at night, is an
uid Lo efficient work and an irresistible urge
to recreation, In all it is a season in which
to live to the utmost.
‘Thirdly, September hears the first thud
of the pigskin and the first shrill blast of the
referee's whistle, ‘The nation in September
turns its eyes away from vacations and base-
ball to feast upon the gridiron. Recent de-
velopment of football in the colleges, uni-
versities, public schools and athletic clubs
has made it a national sport where once it
was strictly a college game. When football
season opens the ,whole nation is kin, class
barriers erected by education are dropped
and player and spectators play the game for
all there is in it.
Every month of the year’s twelve has
something which makes life worth while but
September seems most bountifully endowed
with the “better attractions,”

It is interesting to realize that
one is living just now. For just
now the Negro is being docu-
mented nd with the documenta.
tion comes more forcibly the
truth that man creates, writes,
sings, laughs, weeps, and dies,—
resignedly of grudingly,—just
as well if he be black as if he be
not black. In this book, one of
the University of North Caro-
lina’s series of social studies,
Odum and Johnson have treated
the songs of the Negro that he
sings at his work sympathetical-
ly, objectively, and without any
blathering sentimentality. A
keen insight porvades the effort
of these scholarly Southern au-
thors, “In some respects it is
unfortunate that classification of
the Negro workaday songs must
be attempted, for, strictly speak-
ing, accurate classification snot
possible, There is much over-
lapping apparent in most of the
best types. There are mixed pie-
tures in the majority and x cross
index would he neeessary for any
sort of complete analysis. And
yot the total picture is clearer
when. the songs are grouped ae-
cording to prevailing, themes, as
has been done in other chapters
on the wander songs, the bad
man ballads, chain gganie and jail
songs, Favorites of the construe-
tion gang, songs of woman, songs
of man, and religious remnants.
Tn each of these classes itis
readily seen that there is abund-
unee of new material of great
value. And yet, after these at-
tempts at classification, there are
sors of songs, some the fav-
orites of the present day, some
among the most attractive, which
appear best as simple work
songs, sung as an integral phy-
sical part of the Negros worka-
day offorts. These songs are not
the ‘all others’ group. They are
more than that; they ave the
songs for song’s sake, oxpres-
sion for expression’s sake, and
‘hollevin’ jes? to he’p me wid my
work.”
These authors hewail the same
tendencies about the retivence of
the uneducated Negro and the
often blunt refusal of the so-
phisticated Negro as did Prot,
Puckett in his “Folk Beliefs of
tho Southern Negro,” reviewed
recently, “in most instances
the Negro is at his ‘best? when
being urged to cooperate in the
rendering of his folk songs. By
his best is meant that he reveals
a striking nature and strong per-
sonality, whether in affirming
stoutly Uhat he knows no songs
now or that he has forgotten
what he used to know. .
Rarely ever does he ‘produeo! if
Jet alone with only a first ap-
proach. Nor can he be blamed.
He is entirely within hig own
self-protecting domain, so that
his attitude may bo put down,
not only a characteristic one but
also. a commiendable one. He
has his own fun, too, in the sit-
uation, In general there are sev-
eral types from which little sue-
cess may be expected. ‘The more
educated and sophisticated Ne-
gra not only does not as a rule
cooperate, hut looks with consid-
erable condescension upon those
who seek his help... . Nor
will the Negro student or musi-
cian himself find ready enopera-
tion among his common folk who
feel constrained to withhold
their folk art from the learned
of their own race.”
This very set of conditions
facings te folk art student is a
splendid fickd for a studious,
scientific attack. There is a
reason, it will help to know it.
A swelling crescendo, % race
vibrato inimitable, deseriptive in-
des of group character, folk
urge and race power.” And
right here it seems that such fair
and competent writers as Mes-
sts, Odum and Johnson make the
error, somewhat less. glaring, so
common among white authors:
they arz too inclusive in their
generalizations. Despite ef-
forts on occasion to avoid it, they
look, it seems to us, not upon an
individual Negro as an individ-
ual Negro, but as a symbol of
the Negro. ‘The authors in their
preface admit themselves that
the ‘songs are collected from a

Harvard says: “straight is the
way that follows my lead, and
few there be that find it.” Hol-
Iywood says: “mine is the broad
way to joy, and the multitudes
wali together there.”
Harvard and Hollywood are
hoth great educational institu-
tions. Harvard teaches the few;
Hollywood the many. A few
thousand young men, sifted and
selected by: brain wrecking pro-
cess reeruit the ranks of Har-
vard, One hundred million pu-
pils pass through Hollywood ev-
cry week. There ate no prereq-
uisites, no preliminaries of the
rigid academic sort. Whosoever
will may come, and look and
learn. All of the faets of human
history and human experience
are presented to the oye. H. G.
Walls, in a recent notable opin-
ion, has said that the traditional
four years of college education of
the Tlarvard sort is but time
wasted, and that Harvard and
Yale in the years to come will
he the home of the owl and the
bat. We are startled at this ex-
treme view, And yet we do know
that the visual dramatization of
life will greatly modify educa-
tional procedure of the future.
Instead of marching through
Gaul and Caesar at the rate of
six inches a day, the student will
envisage the whole campaign in
two hours on the screen. On its
educational side, Harvard should
direct Hollywood, while Holl y-
wood should supplement Har-
vard.
The world today stands dis-
traught. between these two con-
flicting influences—tho grave and
severe, and the lively and the
gay. Eliot stands for intellect-
tual, social and ethical severity.
Valentino, exulting in his per-
sonal pulehritude, looks upon
life as a perpetual holiday. ‘The
elements of race may enter into
these contrasted attitudes. The
Yankee ‘takes his work, his play,
his duty and his religion serious-
ly. He lives to work. He is
perhaps the only man in the
world who loves to work. The
great bulk of mankind hate to
work and love to play. ‘The aus-
terity of the Puritan is a di-
minishing. influence in the world,
Even Eliot is a protest against
the awful severity of his ances-
tors. In the days of Jonathan
Edwards, it was a sin to dance,
a sin to play cards, a sin to go
to the theater and even a sin to
read novels, Eliot stands about
half way between Jonathan Ed-
wards and Valentino. The ul-
timate aim of Harvard is to
make the world better, while
that of Hollywood is to keep the
world gay.
Eliot and Valenitino—which of
the twain achieved the greater
success? If we regard success
as the prosperous outcome of
action, measured in terms of our
common standard of values—the
almighty dollar—the Italian eas-
ily wears the palm. He earned
as much money in a year as
Eliot did in his life time. Ours
ig a material time. The supreme
query is too often: how much is.
By Keuwy Miner
he worth?, not in terms of in.
tellectual, moral and_ spiritual
values, but in terms of the ccin
of the realm. If again, we
measure success by popular ap-
preciation and applause, Vakn-
tino is the victor. Eliot has cap-
tured his thousands, and Valer-
tino his tens of thousands. The
death of the great President of
Harvard called forth the digni-
fied homage and dry-cyed respret
of the inner circle and the Brahm
caste to which he belonged ant
the cold calculated admiration of
his fellow men who held his
character and his accomplish
ments in high esteem. The pss
sing of Valentino moistened the
eyes of the multitude.
Eliot lived to bo ninety: tro
years old. Valentino reached
but a third of that age. What
is gained in intensity is lost in
time. Eliot's nature was. not
capable of experiencing the hicks
and thrills and throbs that chat-
acterized the vivacious Jtalisa.
If the making of money, the wit-
ning of popular appleuse and
admiration and the sheer enjos-
ment of the acst of exiscenc: eon
stitutes the charmed life, Valea
tino leads the way.
But there is a higher appraist-
ment of success. The happy’ ou!
come of an effort in terms of its
own high aims and ideals com
stitutes the definition which ap-
peals to the sober judgment of
mankind, From this point of
view President Fliot's life was @
superlative success. The worth-
whileness of the motive. reason
end in view, must also be given
consideration. Valentino was
of the earth, earthy. He could
never rise above the apprecia-
tion of flesh and blood. Eliot
vas filled with the higher ant
holier motive which comes fre"
above. His aim was altruistic
his virtues were vicarious. He
adhered to the school of thiet
which extolled trath and duty
rather than the popular meanins
of success. It is pathetically
true that the goul of success. Fe
duced to its lowest terms of dole
lars and cents, is leading of
youth down the steep pith of di
struction, Tho only srentnets
that is worth while grows out of
positing high ideals and adher
ing to them. ‘The outcome is i-
different.
Now Eliot and Valentino have
done their work and gone theit
way. ‘Their works do follo®
