(Special to the Journal and Guide) Mobile, Al.-Clyde Reese Bachelor, white, and Hayes Leonard, colored, were sentenced to hang for the murder of Judge Lamar Smith, father-in-law of Bachelor, following their conviction in Elmore County Circuit Court last week. October 22, was set as the date of execution. The termination of the trial of these two men, Bachelor, the confessed plotter and instigator of the crime, and Leonard, Bachelor's Negro farm tenant of low mentality and virtual peon, is looked upon as doing credit to Alabama justice. Both men had confessed their part in the crime, but counsel for Bachelor sought to plead insanity in his defense. The populace herobusts had let it be known that no double standards of justice should serve; that both men should receive the same considera- HINDUS APPEAL TO PICKENS HELP PROVE 'EM WHITE HINDUS APPEAL TO PICKENS HELP PROVE 'EM WHITE The Indian Freedom Foundation Asks N. A. A. C. P. Secretary For Financial and Moral Support. New York, N. Y., Sept. 18.—The India Freedom Foundation, Inc., of which Gibson Gardner of Washington, D. C., is president, and Sailandra N. Ghoe, of Calcutta, India, is secretary, has written a letter of appeal to William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. for "personal assistance, aid and advice, and financial and moral support" in their efforts to prove themselves white persons so that they may be permitted to enter the United States. According to Mr. Ghose's letter, Hindus were considered whites until 1923, and as such were citizenship by the United States Courts. However, in 1923, Justice Sutherland, in an advisory opinion, held that if any white persons are words of common speech to be interpreted with the understanding of the "man on the street." This ruling made the In reply to Mr. Ghosse's letter, Mr. Pickens wrote in part the following letter: "My dear Mr. Ghosse: I received your letter of August 27, soliciting aid and pass to pass a bill in Congress to declare the Hindus to be "White persons," so that they will not be barred from the privileges in America by the obsolete law of 1790 or by more recent discriminations against non-whitees. I note also that our law allows citizenship to "white" and "black"—excluding yellows and other colors—for what reason the God of Jacob may know—for no human can possibly tell. "Now, it seems to me, that from the color of most Hindus it would be easier to have them declared "black," and let them become citizens under the law that admits "blacks." "But the best thing of all would be, not to declare Hindus "black" or "white," but repell the foolish law that limits citizenship to "whites" and "blacks," to take the idiotic premature off color altogether. Why not get Senator Copley, or others, to start a fight to take color out of the laws of the United States, and take "race" out, except the human race?" Why not settle the matter by declaring any intelligent human being eligible to American citizenship? citizenship This apply does not signify that I am in sympathy with this effort in behalf of the Hindus; it means that I would like to include also all other human beings—all of whom are just like Hindus." INDICT MAN WHO SLEW WIFE WITH A PICK HANDLE INDICT MAN WHO SLEW WIFE WITH A PICK HANDLE (Supertal Correspondence) Washington, D. C., Sept. 15—An indictment charging second degree murder was returned by the grand jury hust Thursday against Roy Otsen Henson for the death of his wife, Elsie Henson on August 2, last. The indictment is in two counts. The first count charges that Henson used a pick handle in committing the crime. The second count is identical except that the second count identifies the extent identity of the hard, blunt injury is unknown to the jurors. Alleged To Have Confessed Henon is allied to have heat his wife to death in the junior's quarters in the Irvington apartment house, 1731 T street, northwest, where they lived, about 7 o'clock in the morning on August 2, last. After committing the crime, he is said to have gone his other employment to work as partners about noon and telephoned the eighth precinct police station that he had found his wife murdered. After questioning, he was taken to police headquarters where he confessed his guilt. The murder was the result of an all night quarrel over the payment of the board and lodging of their two children, who were being taken care of by Mrs. Bessie Shaw of 2456 Ontario road, northeast. Mrs. Henson had given her husband money with which to pay their board and lodging in full. He had not paid it in full. Henson, however, accused his wife of running around with another man. At the time of the murder, one of the children, who was made motherless, was two years old and the other was only nine months. They are now with his mother in the country in Maryland. tion or lack of it, and the jury so decided. Murder Occurred In August The murder of former Probate Judge Lamar Smith occurred on the night of August 30, in the town of Wetumpka, a short distance from Montgomery. The actual killing was done by the frightened, terrorized, ignorant Leonard, who yielded to the desperate pleadings and bull-dozings of his boss to pull the job. Bachelor was married to Judge Smith's daughter. The son-in-law brooded over his father-in-law's and his own impecunious circumstances. He knew that in event of the old man's death, his daughter, Bachelor's wife, would inherit the property, which was valued at probably more than $60,000. The son-in-law, however, was not known to be in straightened circumstances to any outside of his own household. It is quite probable that even Judge Lamar himself did not know that Bachelor had a modest farm just about ten miles from that of his wife's father's. He seemed to have the necessary comforts of life. His wife and one child appeared contented. But Bachelor brooded over his state and plotted the death of his kindly old father-in-law.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1926 Jury Returns Verdict Giving Equal Punishment For Both Defendants In Spite Of Insanity Plea. Leonard Cowed One of the Negroes of Bacheler's farm was the half-witted Leonard of twenty-six. He was a tenant of Bacheler, owed his landlord money for back rent and a small car. He was uneducated and known to the district as a "cornfield black." His was a state of virtual promage. He felt that he could not move because he owed his boss money. Each year he seemed to find himself still further in debt and all the more shackled to his landlord. Leonard's confession, as given to the police, described visits of Bachelor to him while he was working in the fields. "I want you to kill Judge Smith for me" the Negro declares the young man said. Leonard protected that he was horrified and flatly refused. "Don't you know we both would he do? wrong?" he asked. "I can't give a damn about that; this killing has got to be done if I have to do it myself," the Negro declares Buduhl replied. The following confessions were made by both men: Leonard's "My name is Hays Leonard. I am twenty-six years of age. On Monday night, August 30, 1922, about 8 o'clock I killed Judge Smith. I used a 12-gauge automatic shotgun. The killing took place at Judge Smith's home at Wetumpka, Elmore county, Ala. I was working for Mr. Clyde Bachelock, Judge Smith's son-in-law. I live on his plantation. My house is about 300 or 400 yards from Mr. Clyde Bachelock's house. Mr. Bachelock's house is about eight or ten miles from Judge Smith's place. "About three months before the killign, Mr. Clyde Bachelor came to me and said, I want you to kill Judge Smith for me." I told him, 'Don't you know we both would be doing wrong?' He said, 'I ain't giving a damn about that; this killig has got to go to do he if I have to do it myself, and if I do not a soul will know a thing about it.' "He said he would send me to Judge Smith' place if I would kill him. This happened about three months before the killing. Between this time and the time of the killign he sent me down there four or five times to kill Judge Smith and I would not do it. This was at night when he would send me down there. He would go ahead of me going to the house and sitting Judge Smith so that no one would think he had anything to do with the killing. He would tell me before he left on each trip to 92 sure and come down there. I went Judge Smith's home on four or five different nights to kill Judge Smith, but I did not have the nerve to do it and I would go back home. "On last Monday about noon Mr. Bachelor came into the field and talked to me about going to Judge Smith's place that night and killing the Judge. About 5 o'clock, the afternoon of last Monday he drove up to where I was picking cotton. I got into his Ford car with him. He had the shotgun when I got into the car drove me to Judge's place and told me to get out and drive his father's truck to Green's garage at Wetumpka. I did drive the truck to the garage and he followed behind me in his car. When we reached the garage, I got back into his car and went to the house and parked about a block behind the house. we crawled through the bushes to the porch which adjoins the room where Judge Smith went through the grounds, Mr. Bachelor stopped and showed me how to use the shotgun. I got under the window and the shotgun barrel against the screen. I shot one time." Bachelor's "My name is Clyde Reese Bachelor. I am twenty-five years of age.

OWN MITCHELL IS MENTIONED FOR LIBERIA West Virginian Likely To Get Support Of Senator Guy DA Goff For Place Vacated By Solomon Porter Hood. BILL TO RAISE PAY OF POSITION PENDING (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., Sept. 15—Charles E. Mitchell, of Institute, W. Va., is being mentioned in connection with the vacancy in the United States ministership to Liberia, which was caused by the resignation of Rev. Solomon Porter Hood. Mr. Mitchell is a certified public accountant and a banker, and it is best to believe that he would be acceptable to the Liberian republic. It is likely that his appointment will be urged by Senator G. D. Goff, Republican, of West Virginia. Mr. Mitchell and his wife have just returned from a European tour. He is at present in Institute, W. Va. The ministership to Liberia pays a salary of $5,000 a year. There is a fund in Congress to increase it to $10,000 a year. Mr. Mitchell is a man of independent means and would not be embarrassed by the requirements of diplomatic life. BRUTE CRIMINAL CONFESSES HE BLACKENED FACE Notorious Ex-convict Admits Assaulting Young Women; Says He Often Impersonated Negroes In His Crimes.

Before taking him into the girl's presence Tuesday police blackened his face. Three other girls also viewed Sexton and identified him as the man who stopped them Monday night at Oakland and Hampton avenues and was dragging one away when he was frightened off by an approaching motorist.

Scarborough, educator and author, is dead. The doctor passed away at his beautiful home here Friday, amid the scenes of his life's work. Dr. Scarborough was born in Macon, Ga., seventy-four years ago, and at an early age entered educational work, serving as president of Wilberforce University for a number of years and following his retirement from activism at the university was attached to the United States Department of Agriculture, being appointed by President Harding, an old friend. During his administration at Wilberforce, the university made rapid progress, and he himself be- FOREIGNER IS IMPRESSED WITH RACE GENIALITY FOREIGNER IS DEATH OF MAJOR IMPRESSED WITH BROOKS FELT AT RACE GENIALITY THE WHITE HOUSE (By Associated Negro Press) Wichita, Kans., Sept. 7.—Genialty, deep religious feeling, a devotion to the cause of international understanding, and a spirit of brotherhood—these are the outstanding characteristics which W. A. Visser 't Hooft, of the World's Committee of the Y. M. C. A. at Geneva, Switzerland, found in the colored boys he met in his visit to the Booker T. Washington Hi-Y of this city. "I was greatly pleased by the warm-hearted welcome to a foreigner," he says in World's Youth. "They (the Negroos) impress me as having more natural kindness than any other race. I have never been in close touch with the Negro race or, to put it stronger, I had never talked to a Negro until I was over twenty years of age. I was terribly conscious of being white when I found myself with one other white gentleman in a hall full of Negro students." Intensely Interesting Mr. Visser 's Hooft found the Colored Hi-Y group intensely interested in boys of other nations. He discovered in them an amazing knowledge of India and its religions, the Balkans and Balkan problems, the Japanese, various European peoples, and the work of Max Yergan among the boy and young man of South Africa. They were him of education as one means of attaining a high type of citizenship and of giving service to the country. In return, he learned, they ask for a democracy "in the fundamental sense of the term" as explained by Abraham Lincoln, government of the people by the people. They ask for the leadership of youth even though youth may be individualistic and self-assertive, for "mental independence, which is the essence of individualism, is necessary to spiritual life." Body Of Unidentified Man Unclaimed The body of an unidentified man has been lying in the morgue of Hale's Undertaking parls, Wide and Calvert streets, since August 29, when it was received from St. Vincent's Hospital. The man is said to have fallen on the streets in Franklin and was brought to the hospital here where he died. He was apparently 55 or 60 years of age. The body will he disposed of in a day or so unless it is claimed by relatives or friends. Glover Pays Penalty (By The Associated Negro Press) Milledgeville, Ga., Sept. 16—Ed Glover, convicted of slaying two white people in Macon, Ga., was electricated here at the State penitentiary Friday afternoon. Glover's case caused quite a stir in Macon, when he declared that he had been hired to commit the murder by a white man. laims Dr. arborough BABY came known as perhaps the leading Greek scholar of the Negro race, and one of the leading educators of the race. In addition to being a noted educator he was prominent in church circles, being a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which heaped upon him many merited honors. His illness, which resulted in his passing, extended over a long period, and while his death caused no great shock or surprise it will be mourned by many graduates and former students of Wilberforce and hundreds of friends, admirers and business and professional associates. He is survived by his wife, who was his help-mate in his life's work. DEATH OF MAJOR BROOKS FELT AT THE WHITE HOUSE Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Sept. 15—The tact that news of the death of Major Arthur Brooks, personal custodian at the White House, caused President Coolidge to express himself, is evidence of the esteem in which he was held. Coming to Washington from Port Royal, Virginia, as a boy, Major Brooks began his work as a messenger in the War Department. He taft brought him from this department to the White House. He was bonded custodian of all furnishings and personal effects. The fact that he was in intimate touch with the personal affairs of four presidents would have tempted most men to capitalize on the information, but according to members of the family, he regarded his relations with these men as sacred, and never discussed White House doings with members of his own family. There is much pleasure to the authors of Major Brooks in the fact that he was referred to by the President as "one of the finest men in Washington," not as one of the finest Negroes. At one time, Maj. Brooks was in command of the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia National Guards, and when he retired from active service, he was given the grade of lieutenant colonel. For many years, he was organizer and leader of the Legion Cadet Organization, and is due much credit for the interest of our people in military affairs. Funeral services were held Friday at St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church, Rev. O. L. Mitchell officiating. A company of the 572nd Infantry and the 24th Regiment of High School cadets furnished guards for the funeral and admirers gave profuse floral offerings. Among the messages of condolence was one from Elihu Root. Active palibearers were Johm Wright, Alfonso Stafford, Lemuel Harris, Walter J. Singleton, Dr. John Washington, and Col. West Hamilton. Honorary palibearers were Dr. Finney McIntosh, Dr. C. Summon McIntosh, Dr. T. E. Jones, Dr. E. C. Terry, Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson, and Judge James Cobb. Burial was in Harmony Cemetery. Peoples' Federation Bank Closed By Examiner (Preston News Service) Charleston, S. C., Sept. 16.—The People's Federation Bank, of this city, did not open its doors on Wednesday on orders of the State bank examiner.

ALL NEWS THAT'S WORTH READING PRICE 7 CENTS MOTHER GRIEF STRICKEN BY LOSS OF SON Little Bobbie Haggans Disappears With Father Following Estrangement Between His Parents. CHILD TAKEN FROM GRANDMOTHER'S HOME Little Robert Reginald Haggans, the promising four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Haggans, who until last spring occupied a handsome residence on Anne street, later residing on A avenue, is believed to have been kidnapped by his father, who has absconded the city with the child. Mr. and Mrs. Haggans had been living apart following an estrangement which occurred in July. Lewen Frenn Grand Mother Mina Tina Haggans, a charming young woman informed the Journal and Guide this week that the child was taken from the home of his grandmother, her mother, in Dudley, N. C., on Saturday, September 4, by his father who informed the grandmother that he had come for the boy to take him immediately to his mother in Norfolk. She has not known of the whereabouts of her young son nor his father since, she said. The youthful mother is distracted with grief but she informed the Guide reporter that her sorrow is prooked by the absence of her child and not her husband. Mrs. Haggans stated that the estrangement between herself and husband occurred in July, following which they separated. She took lodgings in a rented room, she said, and went to work to provide for herself, while a sister of hers carried the child to its grandmother in North Carolina, where he could receive proper attention while his mother worked out. In the meantime, Mr. Haggans, who had for a number of years been a trusted employee of Shulman's, high class men's furnishers on Granby street, and considered generally to be holding down a good position and doing well in the community, left Shulman's and found employees at a nearby summer camp. At September, he moved to North Carolina and caused his wife's mother to believe that a reconciliation between himself and wife was in immediate prospect and persuaded the grandmother to allow him to take the child back to its mother, his wife stated. Whether the father and son ever reached Norfolk, or passed around this city in a different direction, Mrs. Haggans has not learned. With tears wolling in her eyes, the beautiful young mother, related the story of the loss of her child. Nothing else seemed to concern her. She was not bitter toward her husband, mentioning him only in connection with her grief. She would give anything in this world she says, to learn the horrificities pleads with friends and tearfully pleads with friends or others to inform her at her present address, 929 Wood street, should they obtain information of any sort regarding the child.

To Tempt You At Breakfast Do you realize what you prepare for breakfast and how you serve it goes a long way toward starting the day right or wrong? The appetite in the morning is most dainty, and breakfast should not only be nourishing but also appetizing and refreshing. The breakfast, to attract a family with a languid appetite, should be as neatly laid as the dinner table. This may be done the night before to save time. Silver and dishes may all be in readiness, the coffee even measured and in the pot, and if you are having toast, the electric toaster at the table in its place. Every breakfast should start out with fruit of some kind, either fresh, canned or dried. To save time, orange juice may be prepared the night before and kept in a cool place. Grape fruit is another fruit which may always be prepared the night before; remove the seeds and core, loosen the pulp and sprinkle generously with sugar. Berries in season may be prepared the night before. Cereals are another breakfast standby, often disliked and neglected. Yet they are very nutritious. Any of the uncooked cereals may be cooked the night before and re-heated the next morning. Many people fail to cook their cereals long enough. If the children will not eat the cooked ones, the addition of dates or raisins changes the flavor. The dry cereals, when served with fruit, are delicious, either sliced peaches or crushed berries. So many mothers make the mistake by telling their children certain foods are good for them. This should never be done, for nine cases out of the foods will refuse to eat them. Cereals, muffins and griddle cakes will be enjoyed by the men folks of the family. Toast and bacon or eggs cooked in some tempting way makes an ideal main dish for breakfast. Did you ever prepare your toast by cutting a slice of bread, then placing bacon over this, and toast in the oven until both the meat and bread are golden brown? Is it really delicious and the toast requires no butter. HOME AND KITCHEN SUGGES A FEW DON'TS 1. Do not rush through you meal or stop eating too far in advance. 3. Never lay your napkin on the table after finishing eating until the hostess has first done so. 4. Never scrap up crumbs, collected around plate, with spoon or fork. 5. Never use spoon with which to sip tea or coffee. Lift your cup to your lips. 6. Do not stir contents of cup continuously. Once or twice will dissolve the sugar, then lay spoon on saucer and do not use again. 7. Break off only a small portion of bread, not more than two mouthfuls and spread at a time. Never butter a whole or half a cup of bread. slice of bread 8. Never push in your chair after getting up from a table. Leave it entirely alone. INTERESTING ITEMS INTERN 1. To ripen fruit or vegetables —When planting fruit or vegetables in the house, place them over a wire cake rest, which is slightly raised from the surface of the table. In this way the air completely surrounds the fruit or vegetables and there is no trouble of turning them over, and no bruises resulting from the pressure of a peach or tomato on a hard, flat surface. 2. Picnic Salad—When going on little picnic suppers, individual pa per drinking cups are most satisfactory as containers for salads. The salad may be packed in the individual paper cups and garnished attractively with a sprig of parsley stuck in one side. They always call forth favorable comments and are not messy to handle, and each person has his own portion casily handed out.

GAS IN STOMACH HURTS THE HEART Thousands of Cases of Heart Failure Are Caused by Acute Indigestion, Says Medical Writer Gas pressure from sour, acid, upset stomach is not only nauseating and highly uncomfortable but some day it may prompt you. When your meals are followed by bloating, a feeling of fullness or pressure, shortness of breath and pains around the heart, you may be sure that the acid condition of your stomach is pushing upwards and crowding your heart. That's the reason for the shortness of breath and sharp shooting pains. You younger or old, the presence of stomach gas is truly serious and should always be given prompt and careful attention. To quickly banish gas, cleanse and swetten the stomach, neutralize the acidity, the motility, and the daily or "needle" use of ordinary Bisuterated Magnesium. It gives almost instant relief.

SEMINARY PLAY IN ONLY COLLEGE GAME HERE NOV. 8 'BEAT ADELPHIA' BATTLE CRY OF NORFOLKA.C.PRACTICE UNDERWAY Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 16. The news leaked out of the Dempsey comp Thursday that there was a possibility that Dempsey and Wills will meet in Tia Juana within the next six months. In discussing the proposed bout Davis J. Walsh, International News Sports Editor, declared: "There are only two factors that stand between the two greatest heavyweights of the column one the signature of Wills to Dempsey contract and the possibility, however vague, that the champion might muff his chance against Gene Tunney on the night of September 23. "According to Gene Normile, manager and what not of the heavyweight champion, the winner would be stronger chance than the first. Normile says that Wills has set a prohibitive price on his head, so to speak. He wants $200,000 as I understand it. That's entirely too much for anychallenger. We ar fail enough when it comes to that, but, if Wills really wants nothing but a shot at the title as he has been claiming, he will sign up for whatever he can get. Every challenger has done that since time immemorial. Would Be Generous We are willing to give Wills a better price than any challenger has received to date. Dempsey took his almost for nothing because he felt he could win and earn his money afterward. UNION AND VA. S ONLY COLLEGE GA 07 Thewater Virginia will be host again to thousands of college football enthusiasts this Fall. After considerable effort arrangements have been complied for the eleven Va. Union University, Richmond, Va., to meet the squad of Ft. Va. Theological Seminary in the Va. League Baseball Park, Norfolk, Va., on the second in November. Ever since the launching of the premier college sport in Norfolk five years ago with a bout between Union and Morehouse, Tidwaterians have manifested an increasing interest in the gentle art of pigskinery. The college teams that have helped build up this popularity have been, Union, Morehouse, Shaw, Lincoln, Hampton and St. Paul. Last year, although BEAT ADELPHIA NORFOLK A.C. PRA Norfolk Athletic Club began its preparation for the coming football season last Monday night on the old Norfolk Academy lots. The club, this year, starts on an altogether new program. In fact, the entire system of old has undergone a change which is expected to produce very conspicuous results. Chief among the changes this year will be found in the coaching. Instead of the old fashioned naphazard style of rounded out an aggressive attack, the staff has been instituted. Dr. S. F. Coppage, C. I. A. A. official and former Howard University star continues at his post of physical director and will coach the first line defense. Reynold Gay, of local repute, coach of the Royal A.C. is backfield coach, and Winfield Layton, who played a prominent part with the Collegians during the basketball season, will have charge of the ends. With this trio of men who possess knowledge of the finer points of the game, one of the best teams in the city can GANS UP AGAINST TOUGHEST FOE Los Angeles, Cal.—Baby Joe Gans will fight Tommy O'Brien, the fighting Lishman with the knockout right on Sept. 15, at Olympic Auditorium. This will probably be his hardest fight, as O'Brien is a terror to the lightweights here. Gans beat Callahan and Callahan has a win over O'Brien so the fans dope him out to score. The great auditorium will be packed. Article Denounced By Gilmore (By The Associated Negro Press) "Chicago, Ill., Sept. 16—In press, letter to the Associate of Press, letter to the National Negro Baseball League, nounced the recent article published in a Chicago paper that he was seeking the presidency of the league, and that he "took a rap" at the new newspapers. Mr. Gilmore, who is a prominent business man in Kansas City, Missouri, and American manufacturers spend $33,000,000 each year in research work. "If Wills is sincerer, he will win that same way. If not we can only assume that he is after the loser's end." "Normale talked only after some persuasive conversation from the writer. He intimated that he preferred to await the arrival of Jas. Cofforth, from the West before putting himself either one way or the other. Cofforth was the Tex Rickard of his day which was the day of the old championship battles in California. Incidentally, it might be mentioned that Normale is one of Cofforth's very bright young men. Satisfactory Two Ways "Therefore, if Normile says that Dempsey is willing, one might very well judge that not only the champion but the promoter is amenable to the proposition. The only thing missing is the challenger and if all he wants is a fight with the champion, the fight is hot. "That at least was the story in the Dempsey camp this morning. Maybe Wills has a betted proposition he can present to the New York State Athletic commission. Maybe Normile is merely talking to hear his teeth rattle. Anyhow, I would say off hand that a proposition from Jim Ceforr if made, would be a better bet than any that might come from Niles, Mich. and way points. It would be skinned into everything else. It might pay him to lock into this car." EMINARY PLAY IN AME HERE NOV. 8 a steady downpour of rain was in evidence the entire day on which Union engaged Lincoln, yet over 1,000 admirers braved the elements to these units battle to a tie. This year's encounter promises to cap the climax. Both Lynch- burg and Union produced a division tame in occupied Intercollegiate Athletic Association's championship race of last year. So close was the traveling between Hampton, Union and Lynchburg, until only in the last few days of the season could anyone tell who would cap the rug. As both Union and Lynchburg are popular favorites here, it is expected that over 5,000 fans will within. ss the gorefest on November 8th. A' BATTLE CRY OF ACTICE UNDERWAY be expected of the Norfolk Athletic Club. Some of last year's men will be missing from the lineup, but these will be replaced with new men of ability. The team will probably be around thirty strong. From this number of capable performers, changes can be made without any changes in team play. The battle cry of the Norfolk Athletic Club this year will be, beat Adelphia. Despite the face that much concentration will be placed on the game with Richmond, an honest-to-goodness effort will be made to down every team played, home or abroad. The local team has not been able Adelphia during the long athletic relation between the two teams this season, there is more determination to lambast the capital city box. Haywood Powell is on the managerial end of the organization this year, and he will leave nothing undone which might aid in producing a winner.

HAMPTON SQUAD TO BEGIN ITS GRID GRIND NEXT WEEK (By The Associated Newspaper) Hampton, VA, Stip. I-10, Coaches Gidson E. S. Smith and Charles H. Williams have announced that the fall football practice at Hampton Institute starts September 21, in preparation for meeting the unusually heavy schedule that begins October 9th with Virginia Simi- nary. The coaches are somewhat optimistic as to the prospects of becoming 1928 champions, despite the fact that the old team was cut to pieces by graduation and workings of the academy. The realities, however, that the road will be tougher than it was last year, because of the increased size of the C. I. A. A. and the playing ability of compiting teams. Many Veteran Players Are Lost The games played this year will be without the services of "Sticky" Jacobs, star quarterback of two championship football teams; Oscar Pindle, two-time Captain, All-American and All C. I. A. A. center; James Alexander, All-American and All C. I. A. A. guard; Elmer Fortune, fighting guard and tackle; and Georg. Davis, fast tackling ends; "Sparky" Ruffin, vet ran in tackle; Sammy Mansfield and Sam Scott, hard-hitting backs. The leaving of these men will give Coaches Smith and Williams only four veterans around whom they must build another team. The men expected to return are: Captain "Wild Man" Lee, All-American tackles; "Tim" Hatcher, hatchback; and Bryd, quarterback. The second string men and new material are expected to fill the gaps left open from last year. 'Wild Man' Lee To Pilot Team The playing ability and gridiron knowledge of Leo in tackle position won him him the captaincy of the 1926 Seasiders. "Wild Man" came to the team from Peabody High in Pittsburgh and made the first lineup on first try. He has held his position with case for the last two years, being considered one of the best tackles in the game. The men have pledged their support to Leo and he expects to deplicate the championship trick this year.

Abbot's official call for aspirants for the 1925 football team. There was no practice. The men were assembled and the coach spoke to them for thirty minutes. "My object, said the coach, is to get acquainted with you and you have know me, and to say further that it is no easy task to remain a member of the Tuskegee Institute football squad. If you cannot camply with orders, rules, not neglect your studies, in fact observe the fourteen points in good sportsmanship—then you had better see me immediately and have your nana removed from my roll." Marks the man were put through some physical exercises and sent to quarters with instructions to be on the field at 4:00 o'clock the following day. Among the old men who reported ware: Captain Kitchen, Ellis, Burney, Whitlow, Adams, Stevenson, Townes, Joynes, I. Robinson, Tadlock. C.

The army promises to be one of the hardest on the Crinson schedule. The coach posted notice at the club house saying the squad will be cut to 85 men during the coming week and those found deficient in aptitude would be asked to turn in their equipment. Walk Miller Wants Jack Thompson (By The Associated Negro Press) Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 16–Mr. Thos. Seiselki, manager of Young Jack Thompson, received a telegram a few days ago from Walk Miller, manager of middleweight champion Tiger Flowers, offering to buy the contract he holds on Thompson. As Miller is a champion maker, it is shown by his interest in Thompson that he has championship stuff in him. At Lawton Springs, August 21, he beat Willie Snead and shi- shed rounds and called by the Reno-Gazette the cleverest fighter ever seen in Reno which includes a professional Joe Gans. At Fresno, Cali, Aug. 21, he knocked out the tough Frankie Tierney in seven rounds. He is a fine quiet fellow and a fighter, whom leading sport authorities here figure can beat the local favorite, Baby Joe Gans, if they should be matched here. What promises to be a regulation movie story and fashion show combined will be approximated in the forthcoming screen debut of Peggy Hopkins Joyce (Countess Morner) at the Attucks theatre, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Adults Robert St. Johns, who has a vehicle to an exact fit for the beautiful star, has laid the locale of her narrative in an atmosphere of Hollywood society, where clothes, clothes, will vie in popular appeal with an exceedingly sprightly story. Miss Joyce will, during her interpretation of the stellar role in The Skyrocket, put on a collection of goofy embodying the principal current tendencies of the stars of the screen. The cost of the extensive wardrobe necessary to properly portray the leading role amounts to a staggering cost. A $60,000 sable coat flashs its magnificent way into the one brief instant, is whisked away and is gone. There are other moments the actress has to encounter of famine gums must accompany the scenic splendors worn by the star. The Last Edition It tops even "The Third Alarm!" That is the judgment of astute motion picture critics who have seen "The Last Edition," a compelling F. B. O. melodrama revolving around a newspaper office. The picture, which brings together again the brilliant acting of Ralph Lewis and the directorial genius of Emory Johnson, will be shown for the first time locally at the Attucks Theatre when it begin a Sox Win Half; To Play For the Southern Flag (By The Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 16—14 running true to the dope the Memphis Red Sox have been declared the winners of the second half of the race in the Southern League and the opportunity to play the Birmingham Black Barons in the post-season championship series. The Red Sox clinched the ponant here this week when they won three straight games from the Albany Giants including a double-header on Labor Day. New Orleans, the most formidable rivals of the Red Sox, for the honors, two out of three games to the Black Barons of Birmingham, and the possible chance of changing the Red Sox for the leadership. The fight, however, between these two outfits has been hot from the beginning of the second half race and has been a real jive and tuck affair. With the championship in view, the Red Sox are now preparing to meet the Birmingham clan. According to the dope the Memphians will enter the race, as underdogs, but plan to upset the dope and take off the honors. Birmingham is confident that after the series is over that the flag will wave in slag-town, but Manager Smith is taking no chances. His boys are going like wild-fire and he intends to keep them on edge for this series.

Young faces the task of developing a system of defense against five different formidable systems of football as the Lions meet Wilberforce, Tuskegee, West Virginia, Morgan College, and Howard in succession. To do this with a veteran team is a very difficult task but to accomplish with a new team seems almost an impossibility. Coach Young, however, declares that he will have one of the head coaching staffs in the history of the Pennsylvania institution conceived of Dr. Ernie Martin, assistant head coach, and former Tuft star, and Walls and Goodman, former stars at Lincoln University.

What Is It? What is the widespread and perennial appeal of the Western picture? For there can be no doubt that sincere, well-written stories about the people of the West—the life of the range and the mountains, provide perhaps the most universally popular subjects for motion pictures. Exhibitors and theatre managers know it. Well-informed producers, who keep a watchful eye upon the public taste in films, know it and react upon it.

VEPCO GIVES BIG PICNIC TO BEACH FOR EMPLOYEES The colored employees of the Virginia Electric and Power Co., together with their families, spent an enjoyable day at Little Bay Beach, Friday, September 10th. The picnic was a huge success from start to finish. It is estimated that 2000 people were in attendance and took part in the program of events that were held. The beach was crowded throughout the day. Ice cream, lemonade, sandwiches, watermelons, etc., were furnished free by the company as well as bathing beach privileges and other concessions. An orchestra furnished the music during the afternoon and added greatly to the success. Dancing occupied both afternoon and night of the company busses made frequent trips between the car stop and the beach, taking the men, women and children back and forth, thus adding considerably to the pleasure of the event, particularly was this so because of the fact that so many picnickers were small children. They ranged from babies in their mothers' arms to wild youngsters, all of whom seemed to be entirely lost in the good time. There was practically a car load of watermelons on hand and those doing cutting out and serving liberally. Of the sandwiches and other refreshments there seemed to be no end, everybody could get a plenty and was made welcome to it. The Guide reporter, although not wearing the Company's identification card, joined in with the merrymakers unknown to any except Dr. Wilbur A. Drake, one of the company's surgeons, upon being asked to the event went and enjoyed the festivities to the limit.

Galli-Curci Swayed by the Seer of Sweden Emmanuel Swedenborg Scientist and Theologian Amelita Galli-Curd Clarence W. Barron Financial Advisor Prima Donna Gives Wonderful Interpretation of the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg— ing the Negro and I ran to my automobile, which was parked about two blocks from the scene of the shooting, got into the car, and I drove to my plantation. In order to get in better financial condition I decided to kill Judge Smith. I knew that in the event Judge Smith's death my wife, Judge Smith's daughter, would inherit her share of the property; and for this reason I decided to kill Judge Smith. "About three months ago I made up my mind to have Judge Smith killed. I spoke to the Negro, Hayes Leonard about three months ago and asked him if he would kill Judge Smith for me. He stated that he would. I did not promise the Negro anything to do the killing. On several occasions between the days I killed and the first time I talked with the Negro three months ago, we talked about the matter. On two occasions within the past three months the Negro and I went to Judge Smith's home to kill him, but my nerve failed me, but on last Monday night my nerve did not fail me, and I went there with the Negro and we killed hime, the Negro doing the shooting. "About thirty minutes after I got home after the shooting my aunt, Mrs. Bernard Sanford, and my two uncles, Bernard Sanford and Miles, came to the house and identified that the Judge had been shot. My wife and I dressed and went to Judge Smith's home. "About noon of the day of the killing the Negro and I agreed to kill Judge Smith that night. "We stayed around Wetumpka in the vicinity of the drug store until nearly 8 o'clock, and we then Galli-Curci S Seer of EmanuelSwedenborg, Scientist and Theologian Amelit Prima Donna Gives W of the Writings of H Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent publishes a remarkable article on Gulliver Currel and Emanuel Swedborg, by Clircester W. Barron of the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Barron declares that Gulliver Currel has the most wonderful brain he has ever met or heard of in a woman, although she is much more "a true woman with a life and sense of upbuilding in the family, and in color, form, and music." Mr. Barron is chirman of the Roth Trustees, who acting under the will of Lyda S. Rochot of New Bedford, Mass. and of the author of the publication of the Theological Works which Emanuel Swedborg wrote and published in the Latin tongue, and deposited in the Libraries of the world 150 years ago. This work was completed and published in the Mifflin Co. in 22 volumes in 1997. About three years ago there was a Cleveland paper a paraphrase that among her other accomplishments Gulliver Currel had read at the Theological Works. The claim seemed so absurd to Mr. Barron that he thought it might be easily punctured by a simple inquiry as to the edition. The Bible a Greater Work Than Ever To Mr. Barron's reply: "Yes, I have read in the past year the complete Swedborg edition in fact it is the Mifflin Edition of the Houghton Mifflin Co. that I have. "I can say certainly that the Bible to me is a greater work than it was he Mr. Barron says: "My astonishment was intensified. I memorized over many years with Swedenborg's general theological writings. I had set out to read the thirty-two volumes preparatory to this edition, reading a few pages each day I finished my self-imposed task in fourteen years. I shall probably finish a second reading my present work. Was it possible that a woman with no previous knowledge or relation to these books had really intelligently read them within a year?" Swedenborg's Writings Mr. Barron continues: As an economist, I study books on weight, measures, coings and currencies. Swedenborg is easily comprehended. As an engineer transporting ships over land he is easily visualized. As a government official in the great industry of books and smelting, declared to be the foundation of modern metallurgy, he is of interest in the encyclopedia of scientific history. As the writer of volumes—original studies in search for the human soul—he is not alone in the world. One comes to the realm of the unseen, where there is neither time nor space upon which to rest mental concepts, few may enter into the fullness of the revelation which has come into the libraries of the world through Emmanuel "Think of twenty modern-sized volumes, originally written in the Latin tongue and unfolding from the Hebrew of Genesis and the Greek of Homer, that lie beneath the letter. Annex a dozen more similar volumes that not only expound every picture set forth in the book of 'Revelation' as conveyed of a tremendous power of invisible degrees of creation and life, but also illumine all the problems of sex as presented throughout the universe from the union of love and the mystery of the crystalization in the mineral kingdom; include the deepest of all works ever written entitled, in the original Latin, 'Angelic Wisdom Composed in the Wisdom.'

Barronia Financial Authority Galli-Curd Wonderful Interpretation Emanuel Swedenborg— ought to be required to master these thirty-two volumes." Meen More Than Any Other Books Mr. Barron, still credulous, continued his correspondence with Madame Galli-Curci for some months. He learned that her son had sought the Writings of Swede denborg in a desire to know more about them. She spent the entire summer vacation studying Sweden's Works, and declared: "He have meant, and mean more to me than anything else." When Galli-Curci returned from California, Mr. Barron motored up into the Caskets to her beautiful Italian Palace, and in an afternoon he met her husband, Mr. Samuel, he was convinced that Galli-Curci had read and devoured Sweden in a brief period than anybody had ever done before. "Hours few like minutes." I wasn't the questioner. Mr. and Mrs. Samuels were at me with the sharpest and deepest questions. They seemed in perfect harmony mentally and spiritually, as in their Wanted to Learn "She wanted to know about the 'Grand Man', I told her it would be easier to comprehend it if she would forgo the idea of time and space and consider, as Swedenborg says in "The Apocalypse Explaining the World", to connect with some organ of the human body and to sustain it. Therefore the heavens have the organization of the 'Grand Man', but we need not think of it as a shape or figure. "Yes, exclaimed her husband, "I see it. I see it. I see it." Also, also, how the 'Daimls' likewise connected with every society of the heavens, and how the world within and without was knitted to in one grand poem and son of erivation, man in the image of the heavens, from which he has life in every organ of his body.

Negro from no so "Ir ic gue the F "V ared Norfolk Journal and Guide Is the Negro Church on the decline, or is the Negro, hitherto regarded by many as the most religious group in America, backsliding? Estimates based on close observation of the Northern Negro Church, would suggest an increase in Lester A. Walters, informative in the New York World. Mr. Walton says out of a total Negro population of 12,000,000 one-half are not church members. Although these unauthoritative calculations include infants and children too young to be church members, the majority are adults, continues Mr. Walton. The percentage of non-church members among Negroes in the North America asserts the World's correspondent, who gives the following treatment of the subject: "Nearly two-thirds, or almost 400,000 out of 630,000, in seven Northern centres do not attend church. Out of 175,000 in Harlem, 63,000 hold membership in the church and 115,000 do not. The figures for six other cities are: Negro No. No. Un-Place Pop. Church Churched Chicago 155,000 50,000 105,000 Indianapolis 150,000 50,000 105,000 Detroit 82,000 45,000 40,000 Cleveland 65,000 25,000 40,000 Buffalo 12,000 5,000 7,000 "The present-day tendency of the race to remain out of the religious fold in large numbers was discussed by colored and white ministers of the Gospel at the 11th biennial session of the National Convention of Congregational a Workers Among Colored People at Plymouth Church, Detroit, from August 31 to September 5. Among those invited to speak were the Rev. W. W. Alexander, of Atlanta, Secretary of the Commission on Church and Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches; the Rev. Gatius Glenn Atkins, pastor of the Iris Congregational Church Detroit, and defender-select of the Auburn Theological Seminary, of New York; Frank J. Harwood, of Appleton, Wis., and the Rev. Dan F. Bradley, of Cleveland, Moderator, respectively, of the National Council of Congregational Churches in the United States, and the Rev. Henry H. Proctor, of Brooklyn, Moderator of the Greater New York Association of Congregational Churches. "The observation was made by the Rev. Harold M. Kingsley, director of Negro work in the North of the Congregational Church Extension Boards, that there is revolt among the "old line" denominations from the "programless church;" that in Chicago alone there are six independent churches, and there are a dozen other outstanding churches in the country that have recently broken away from all denominational affiliation as protest against the conditions of young people are leaving the church altogether. "In the opinion of the Rev. Dr. Kingsley, the Negro Church, faced with new conditions arising out of unadjusted city life, is losing ground in numbers and waning in power. As a deterrent from wrong or an inspiration for good, it is becoming negligible; that the probable explanation for this alarming condition is that the change to city and industrial Life presents life a significant in new and complex phases. "Therefore, when he successfully readjusts himself to his new and complex environment he has passed a test in stamina and social vitality that leaves him sophisticated, hardened, with "eyes opened". He unconsciously judges his religion in terms of usefulness and practicality. He is freed from the religious bugaboos of yesterday, from the graveside of the dead, from the concealment of the terror is his from the mastery of the hardest and highest economic in the world. His church, aimless, programless, visionless, impotent, appears weck, ineffectual and trifling. The Negro, like the Italian, is drifting from the church because it offers no solution for his new program.

A stab is usually taken at the ministry, the critic forgetting that while his adverse estimate may be correct, it indicates another alarming factor that is usually overlooked, namely, that a group usually gets the kind of leadership it demands and deserves. Like people, like priests. The Negro minister is a sure index of the cultural level of his people. "The Negro minister, by and large, is a wholesome, salutary quality in the group of life; his faults and his virtues are the faults and virtues of his group at its present stage of development. A large patience founded on a large faith, is needed, when we discuss failings of our leaders. The faraway past out of which the Negro has struggled upward, the constantly demonstrated social vitality of the group, the appropriation of the best American standards of religious life—all demonstrate his ability to purge his religious life and to reinterpret religion in the highest terms. "The Negro church in the North is suffering from narrowness in program and intolerance to new ideas. Like the Ku Klux Klan, itself another kind of semi-religious bigotry, an expression of Protestantism, is suffering from manliness, soaking to bring in a kingdom based on love through a saturnalia of hatred. The Negro church is suffering from an emphasis on man-made customs rather than God-given principles. "Custom is more important than life. Narrow because of moral cowardice in face of new conditions, fundamentalists because of intellectual laziness, unsocial because of lagging leadership, the Negro church has lost two-thirds of its group and is in the process of the salvation of the Negro church in the North is the frank and courageous acceptance and application of the social religious gospel. "What message has the church for the bootleger whose name is legion, as he struggles with the double problem of personal sin and his economic well-paid existence? What message has the church for the man who faces high rents on small wages? It must not be overlooked that the rooming house evil is no longer that of overcrowding so much as it is that of breaking down of the moral standards of the home through the pressure of the immoral man or woman roomer. What message has the church for the victim of residential segregation? Word comes that Dr. Sweet's wife is in Arizona fighting tuberculosis as the result of the awful experience in Detroit, and that he is out there to hurry their baby who contracted infantile paralysis while the mother was incarcerated. "What message has the church for the migrant as he faces the high-standard, complex North? How does the church is dumb on these problems."

The use of Wrigley's chewing gum takes care of this important item of personal hygiene in a delightful, refreshing way. Wrigley's removes odors of dining or smoking from the breath by cleaning the teeth, by stimulating the flow of digestive juices, and by the antiseptic action of the flavoring extracts for which Wrigley's is famous—"The Flavor Lasts!" The result is a sweet breath that evidences care for one's self and consideration for others—the final touch of refinement. Wrigley's is a thrice daily routine of people of refinement. WRIGLEYS PK.

RACE BUSINESS MEN REDEEM THE MISSISSIPPI LIFE Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 17—An important financial deal consummated in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 2, 1926, by which M. S. Stuart and M. E. Onderson repurchased the Industrial business of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company in the states of Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas, and then merged it with the Universal Life Insurance Company, a Race concern of Memphis. About 80 members of all the business of the Mississippi Life is in this deal, and thus passes back into the hands and control of members of the Race. Wrecked by Heman Perry It will be recalled that in the fall of 1923 Heman E. Perry, of Atlanta, Georgia, then the President of the Standard Life Insurance Company and the Service Corporation secured control of the business of the Mississippi Life with the expressed intention of merging it with the Standard Life, but instead, on February 16, 1924, sold it to the Southern Insurance Company, of Nashville, Tennessee, a corporation of white men. On April 5, 1924, through the activity and business acumen of M. S. Stuart, a ten-year lease of the business of the Mississippi Life in the three states above mentioned was secured from the Southern Insurance Company, a position to chase the business at a stipulated price at any time during the life of the ten-year contract. The late V. L. Reuben, of Jackson, Mississippi and M. E. Anderson, of the same place, were included with Mr. Stuart as partners in this contract. Mr. Reuben died in September 1924, and the business in the three states above mentioned was operated under the supervision of Mr. Stuart, and his remaining partner, as a separate distribution unit of the Southern Insurance Company, until the consumption of the deal which merged it with the Universal Life on September 2.

(Special to Journal and Guide) Wewoka, Okla., Sept. 1.—One of the most pathetic cases involving Indian land affairs in Seminole county was filled in the District Court here on August 25, when an action was brought by David Thomas, guardian of Peter Johnson, an incompetent, against John W. Willmot, a wealthy California attorney and three big oil companies for the recovery of his ward's valuable estate. David Thomas, as plaintiff for his 56-year-old ward, an imbecile, alleges that his ward, as the result of being a Seminole freedman, received an allotment of land from the Government as his portion and distributive share of the lands belonging to the Seminole Indian tribe; and that through many defects, irrigational and the Trust Court of Seminole County, the estate has fallen into the possession of the defendant John W. Willmott. The plaintiff seeks judgment quitting title in his ward's home-stead land against the defendant, and directing him to make an accounting of all rentals, royalties and profits coming into his possession from the land dating from the time of February, 1833, and also for damages in the sum of several thousand dollars for withholding possession. The land in question is situated in the midst of an oil and gas field in Seminole county, Oklahoma, and has an appraised value of $100,000.00. The case was prepared and filed through the law offices of Ruffin D. Boulding, former Morse Moffolk, V.A., lawyer, now practicing in Wewoka, and B. C.

This has not been accomplished. Universal Life Insurance Company The Universal Life Insurance Company was organized and incorporated on the 16th day of March 1923, by Dr. J. E. Walker, former President of the Mississippi Life, and has continued to function as an independent and successful corporation. As president of the Mississippi Life from 1923, Dr. J. E. Walker was intimately and actively identified with the growth and progress of that Company, and he deserves great credit for the profitable and successful operation of that concern.

(By Associated Negro Press.) Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 7.—The Grand Lodge of Elks voted by a majority of six to take the next session of the Grand Lodge to New York. Detroit was the other chief contender. Baltimore and Montreal were in the offing. The decision to go to New York, however, threatens serious possibilities for Elkidom. Previous to leaving Cleveland, a committee session was called, headed by R. V. Ridley, Chicago, for the purpose of protesting against holding the session in New York on account of the infamous Grattin law, which prohibits a Negro Elk from wearing any kind of insignia of the Order in the State. It is argued that a session in New York may mean the complete destruction of the Order, and a number of the old line members are utterly oppose the process. The older Elkidom committee there are more than 110 lodges that have already signified their opposition to the eastern metropolis. It was evident in the voting for the next session the friends of the Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson, preferred Detroit for the next meeting place, not only on account of the New York law, but on account of the big eastern lodges in New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and other Baltimore cities.

WOMEN RAISE $913.00 FOR EDUCATION Elizabeth City, N. C.—The Wom- sels Educational and Missionary Union auxiliary to Roanoke Bapti- tion Association convened in the 10th Annual Session at Mt. Carmel Baptist near here, during the work. The people of the community pre to be engaging hosts to this gathering of women. The much building is a large one and shall on a modern plan as well as be expected, situated away from city conveniences. Rev. H. H. Norman, a pioneeracher was pastor when this imposing edifice was erected. Rev. W. A. Cobb is the pastor. But to return to the gathering. The women were present from every section of this Northeastern N. C. territory where the Association extends. They are orderly, becoming attired intelligent minded and a spirit of general good feeling prevalued. During their deliberations one could easily observe the ease, grace, lack of restraint and true joy of the delegates. There were no points of order, nor subtle points of the energy of many women gathering in the Christian normality possessed them and the sessions moved with them and they have for 18 years. Possibly the able president has set the uniformity of her unassuming behavior as a Christian. There seems to be no attempt to "show herself." She is intelligent and dignified without being show or imperious or fussy. The Union recognized her worth again by a voluntary public contribution. Mrs. M. E. Burke will remain President indefinitely. Another incident of remarkable importance was the testimonial to M. H. F. Graves the most efficient and capable secretary who has been ill for a long time. She attended Sunday to grace the Union which she has done so much to bring to its present place of useful endeavor. Another sad phase was the absence of Mrs. Esther Holmes of Junnan, N. Y., formerly of Herbert, N. Y., who has been married to meet each year and bury $100 for the Union. She passed to her reward a few weeks before the Union met. Appropriate services were held over her memory. It may be well to state that this Union is very well organized with a Junior Department presided over by Miss Elroa C. Nixon, a teacher and a graduate of Roanoke Institute, and a beginners and a Sunrise Department. Mrs. Ida Burke of Calden County directed these children at this session. Each department has its own sessions during the gathering, Ministers and laymen were present largely. Among them who served were Rev. R. C. R. Cartwright, moderator, C. L. Griffin, H. H. Norman, A. W. Lumb, S. L. Lawrence, E. Lumb, A. W. Hoffle, J. R. McKay, T. Bazemore, C. Hill. President C. F. Graves, who organized this Union was present, helping and suggesting for the good of all. He gave an account of the part which Association wishes the union to take in the Jubilee May at Elizabethtown City. Then all were in the, the total of $113 was raised, this included donations to Missions, Carrie and Reservoir. The remainder is expected to be used to remodel a building on Rockefeller Institute grounds to make better facilities. The officers were blamed and the next session goes to Which Chapel Baptist Church, which is the county pastor. The County presidents decided to have a banner next year. They did so well this year as did delegates. EDENTON I The Rev.

The meeting was brought into by bring by Grace Bolden and was intended to meet and encourage the students of the East End who are taking college education, or who intend to do so. Nothing of this kind had ever been undertaken in Newport News and Mrs. Bolden is due the credit for a great meeting that was enthusiastic and inspirational from its opening to its close. Only students who are taking college education were called upon to take part on the formal program, but the meeting did not exclude from expression the men and women who are standard back of the students in their efforts to become race leaders prepared for their work.

INCORPORATED BAPTISTS HOLD FORTH IN TEXAS BY ROGER DUIER (For The A. N. P.) Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 15.—Land tundultous and prolonged abdification, the Rev. L. K. Williams, for four years president of the National Baptist Convention, was unanimously re-elected here this afternoon in his annual address, described as the most memorable in the history of the congregation, and by virtue of a motion instituted by vice president, J. C. Jackson, of Hartford, Clem, who asked that the rules be expended in order that the action be admitted. Rev. Jackson's motion was made shortly after Dr. Williams at the conclusion of his address had given first expression of his sentiments concerning rumors that he would to resign. These rumors had been on wings out of Chicago and had invaded the president's magnificent special train to Texas. His most advisers did not know what he would do, knowing that earlier this year in Brooklyn he had announced his intention to resign, but they knew further that as soon the intention had been announced letters and telegrams of protest had clogged his calls enough to cause him to hesitate. And until he ended his address this afternoon, one had known how his opinion might be altered. This afternoon he told the delegates he would resign. wife was sincere when I said I had no desires to continue in office" he emphasized, after describing the rigors and burden of his position, "and I say now if you desire to elect anyone else and do I shall be perfectly satisfied. So do whatever seems best to you." Dr. Williams' address doalt comprehensively with problems contenting America today, the work of the church in respect to these problems, and the internal construction of the Baptist Church. He tacced the social and economic effects of the Riffian war, the Locano pacts, the British strike and the Mexican war of church and state. In our country we have felt the impact of "Eighty-five per cent" he asserted. "Eighty-five per cent of criminals are below twenty-five years of age. One out of every eleven persons who marry get a divorce. Our young people seem to be increasing in their disrese But he declared America's most important domestic problem to be the problem of the Negro. The blame for it he placed at the door of the white man. He demurred at one stage of his address against calling it a problem, because, as he said, a problem is something the solution of which is either difficult or unknown. "But those with whom this problem rest," he cried, "know what to lose. They lack courage more than they lack wisdom. They have been playing with the question.

UNINCORPORATED BAPTISTSTHRONG THE HOOSIER CITY (By the Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Sept.—The National Baptist Convention of America opened its forty-sixth annual session at Tomison Hall in this city Monday with thousands of delegates from 38 states present, headed by J. Edmund Wood of Dunville, Ky. The convention has been permeated with a religious fever, which characterizes the work of the organization and on all sides are indications of advancement in the religious and educational program of the group. Conspicuous among the various reports was that of Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the National Publishing Board which operates the largest printing and publishing plant owned by Negroes in America. Rev. Boyd gave facts and figures touching upon the work of the institution founded by his father nearly thirty years ago. He also presented a resume of the work accomplished in the twenty-fourth session of the Sunday School Council and co-operation, prevail in the workings of the convention which has already been declared to be the "greatest in the history of the organization." Some idea of the scope of the work of the publishing board can be gained from the following report of periodicals and literature which are published and circulated by this institution the past fiscal year as submitted to the secretary: Teacher (monthly) 742,291; Senior (quarterly) 1, 510,622; Junior (quarterly) 1,225,862; Advanced (quarterly) 1,769,826; Intermediate (quarterly) 1,629,281; Primary (quarterly) 1,528,621; Beginners (quarterly) 180,251; Senior B.

First U. P. Church To Undergo Repairs Sunday, September 12, brought to the First U. P. Church many of its members who had been away for some time either attending summer schools, on vacations or visiting in the north and elsewhere. All reported pleasant and profitable trips. With their return the audience was greatly increased which means much to the delight of the pastor and for the advance of the work. After the regular preaching service a congregational meeting was held at which time plans were completed for a thorough repair of the church, both inside and out. A fall program was also presented and accepted which should bring to the attention of the public many things during the week that are just ahead of the congregation. In Miss Cora Campbell, who leaves the city to take up new work at Selma University, Selma, Ala, the church loses one of its most loyal supporters and workers. The pastor feels that he expresses the sentiment of the whole church when he says that the members regret very much to lose her but hope for her a year of pleasure and profit both to herself and to others in her new field of labor. Miss Campbell has been a teacher in the schools of Norfolk for some years, has been a teacher as well as a "tie" Christian character. Miss Mamie Diggs, who was recently married was a visitor in the city a few days ago. Miss Diggs has been for years an active contributing member of the U. P. Church. She has also been the mainstay of the mission work in neglected parts of Norfolk. It is karned that Miss Diggs, who is now Mrs. Stewart will teach in North Carolina this year. Mrs. Stewart will be greatly missed both in school and church work. In her new life and field of labor it is hoped for her many years of happiness and success. ST. MARK'S COMMUNITY CHURCH The Sunday school began its exercises at the usual hour last Sunday with the assistant superintendent presiding. A new member, Mr. Clinton Henry, was added to the school roll. In the absence of the pastor, Rev. C. W. Hames, an evangelist, conducted the morning services during which he delivered an interesting sermon from Paul's epistle to the Romans. The night services were also conducted by Rev. Mr. Hames. MT. ZION A. M. F. CHURCH (Monroe and Tyler Streets) The revival of last week was quite a success. There were four conversions and five members added to the church. Rev. R. K. D. 8 After ten years of service in this field we look back with pride over some of the things which have been accomplished, both in Church and community life. The outlook in this community ten years ago was rather dark and offered very little encouragement. The church was unorganized, the public school was at a very low ebb. There were only a few who could attend. We had to complete the seventh grade work offered by the county. Now our church is well organized and is in fine working condition both spiritually and financially. Our public school is wide awake and we can no whooof of public school teachers, high school graduates, and students in Hampton Institute, V. N. I. L., Petersburg, State Normal, and Washington undergraduates in the Booker Washington High School of this city. The great awakening along educational lines and the present status of the Tituwstown school is due wholly to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Malloy who worked both day and night to raise the standard of the school. Her work did not end in the school room; but on the streets, in the homes, in the Sunday school, she followed up with the apothecary, the physician, the life. Yon on our coming here, the public school of this community lay dead as Ezekiel's bones in the valley and it was Mrs. G. R. Malloy who breathed life into these dead bones and caused them to live as they are today. Long may she live to carry on the work. She is still an efficient teacher in the Norfolk school system. Our people are appreciative of our service. This they show from their actions in various ways. At a recent meeting of the church, they voted a substantial raise in the pastor's salary and gave him a nurse for his vacation. In these ten years we have not always been able to "mount upon wings as engles, run and not be weary," but hy grace, we have been able to "walk and not faint." So we here raise our "Ebencaz," saying, "Hither, hath the Lord helped us." BISHOP W. SAMPSON BROOKS AT ST. JOHN'S A.M.E. CHURCH SUN. Educational day will be observed at St. John's A. M. E. Church this Sunday, September 19. At 11 o'clock a. m. Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, of the A. M. E. Church, now serving in West Africa, will preach. The night services will begin at 8 o'clock at which time an educational mass meeting will be conducted with an attractive program. The speakers for this occasion will be Dr. S. F. Coppage; Prof. E. P. Southall, assistant principal; Booker Washington High School Dr. G.

Byrd will serve as master of ceremonies. The coming here of Bishop Brooks is anticipated with keen delight by local church folk who know of him. He is one of the most brilliant satellites of the A. M. E. Church, a most profound praacher with an appealing personality unsurpassed. His dedication of hung doing as much for foreign missions in Africa as any living individual. His stories of Africa and African life with which he always punctulates his sermons or lectures are some of the most educational and interesting tid-bits ever heard from the platform. The Bishop possesses a commanding physique, a vigorous and forceful delivery with scholarly opinion to a treat for anybody. It is expected that a large crowd will attend these educational exercises at St. John's Sunday. Rev. Dr. L. L. Berry is the pastor. Garrett, Rev. H. Cloyd, Rev. C. M. Hamies, Rev. R. H. Davis and Rev. Jacob Smith were the speakers during the week. Mrs. W. B. Gladney, wife of the pastor, has returned from a visit to relatives in Enfield, N. C. The A. C. E. League has begun its fall and winter services. The pastor will baptize, by immersion, two candidates Sunday morning before the preaching hour takes place. The pastor, choir and congregation worshipped at Union Christian Church on Monday night. The pastor preached from Rev. 22:1. subject: "Lessons from Little Streams."

In the morning, Dr. Watkins preached on "Faith, Hope and Churility," stressing charity or love as the greatest of those. In the evening, the subject of sermon was "Together at the Place of Prayer." The speaker brought out the point that though we may differ at times in various questions that arise among us for consideration, and while they may approach a degree of shyness, we come to the place of prayer, we should be one and together, in our supplications to the Divine Mercy. dresses were most felicitous and stressed the value of sympathetic understanding, mutual good will and hearty cooperation in the common cause for which they all were fighting the world for Christ, Rev. J. Alvin Russell replied in a most happy manner to the splendid addresses of the two divines, assuring them of the Convocation's thanks and appreciation for their kind expressions. At this juncture the cablagram below was read from Archedeacon Russell, president of the Convocation, who is in London, England, for his health.

AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Write For Particular It is not too much to say that the future holds a greater responsibility for the young Negro boy and girl of today than for the boy and girl of any other of the many race groups that make up our citizenship. They belong to the youngest race group, and they enjoy less of the manifold opportunities and advantages of citizenship than any other. They will be called upon to build upon and enlarge and strengthen the foundations dug during the last fifty years of freedom by their fathers and mothers. Many of the obstacles their parents had to face and overcome have been removed, but there is abundant work for them to do as members of our group and of the citizenship of the Republic. All hail to the army of future citizens! A bright future beckons them—brighter than beckoned their forebears. Circulation audited and proved by Certified Public Accountant, (Virginia.) Having a two-dollar bill may be bad luck; but not having one is often worse than that. It is savage to sacrifice children in the name of religion; we do it only in the name of speed. He Forced Another To Kill For Him The person who hires somebody to do an unlawful thing for him which he has not the courage to do for himself, for fear of the consequences, is the rankest sort of coward. The person who kills another in order to enjoy what he has of worldly goods and would inherit in the usual order is too contemptible to be kicked. Everyday's reports show that there are many of both sorts of brutes. When Police Sergeant Becker some years ago hired a lot of gangsters to murder a person he wanted to get out of the way he was held responsible for the crime and executed legally. That is the proner course. Judge Lamar Smith was shot to death in his bed, and his wife was wounded, at Wetumka, Ala., recently. It appears that his son-in-law planned the murder in order that he might get at the wealth of his wife's father, and that he hired a Negro to do the shooting. The white man furnished the gun and drove to the Judge's house and stood by the black man and forced him to do the killing, as he insists. The two then got into the white man's automobile and rode to his plantation, ten miles away, where the white man calmly went to bed, as he testifies. What his black accomplice did he does not say, but the presumption is that he went to sleep also. The Army of Young Citizens The people who guard most jealously the education and training of their young people make the best investment for the future. Care of women and children is the highest, the most sacred trust which has been confided to man in the plan of salvation evolved out of the experience of the ages. History teaches us that much. "The child is father to the man," says Alexander Pope, and there is more truth than poetry in the saying: The child must necessarily succeed to the place in human life occupied by parents, as the parents forever go on and the children forever come on. It becomes, therefore, of the very first importance that the parents give proper care and education to the young. No better advice on the subject has been given than that of King Solomon, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." The responsibility of parents and of the State to children is one of self-preservation in the last analysis. During September the private and public schools and the schools of higher education in the land will have begun a new year of opportunity to prepare for the work of life for the millions of young people. They are the grand army of young citizens whom the future beckons to a high destiny in the grandest republic in the history of mankind. They need to be prepared for that destiny. The great responsibility reposing in them should be impressed upon them in a way that will prove inoffaceable. The future of the Republic requires that and our educational scheme is so shaped as to make this impression upon them. And what splendid opportunities for securing a thorough education has been placed in reach of the children of the Nation? Our fathers never dreamed of any such educational opportunities as being possible even for the most favored. New Things In Mental Development There are many things under the sun which are new and yet to be discovered, both in mental and physical science.

"He was burned alive in prison, under circumstances of even more than the ordinary barbarity, the leader of the mob saying, 'We want him to scorch first, and then cook slow.' The prison officials merely stood around with pails of water to keep the fire from spreading to other parts of the jail. As usual, no steps have been taken to punish the murderers. "This is the season for questioning candidates. Every one who values the good name of America, and every one who does not want instincts of fiendish ferocity transmitted to the next generation, should ask the candidates for Congress whether they will vote for the National Anti-Lynching Bill.

BOWLING Lust Is Colorless a men look upon women of and races—some with simple curiosity, some with contempt and boathing, some with pity, some with passion a-borning. But this night my blood boiled. A lone white woman and myself were the only passengers on a late interurban bus.

I have seen men look upon women of all types, shades and races—some with simple curiosity, some with contempt and loathing, some with pity, some with passion a-borning. But this night my blood boiled. A lone white woman and myself were the only passengers on a late interurban bus. Refined, well-dressed, attractive, she had bidden goodbye to her escort and put herself in the care of our white driver and the supposed chivalry of American white Southern manhood. Mile after mile we sped into the darkness, until finally the transfer point was reached. Busses from both directions were reported past due—said our driver, "You may keep your seats until your main line busses arrive." Now all went well for several minutes. But gradually it dawned upon me, one of the bystanders at the transfer point was reverting to the pure beast. Not satisfied to look now and then upon this attractive woman of his race unobtrusively and like a gentleman, he placed his elbow on the window-sill of the bus and from behind his hand kept looking upon her intently and without shame. I cannot go into the further details—suffice it to say, his lustful glances and beastly behavior started me to thinking. Suppose there had been no other bystanders—suppose I had not been there and suppose our driver had stepped the road to 'phone—would it have made any difference to this tender woman or her gallant escort miles away or her loved ones in the distant city, that she had been attacked by this cigarette-smoking, poorly-dressed bie-raced young white degenerate instead of a criminal of some other description? Could she or they in such a bitter event get solace by reflecting, "Well, thank heavens, it was not a colored man"? A lustful degenerate is a menace to decent womanhood regardless of race, color or class. Not only is the occasional Negro rapist a brute, any rapist a brute. I would have been as fearful for the safety of this white woman unaccompanied in this white man's presence as if he had been a beast of the jungle—and what I felt concerning her, I felt just as keenly as in my mind's eye. I behold my wife sitting before him, or one of my daughters or some humble member of my church. And for the women of my family and church this apprehension was by no means due to the man's race. It would certainly be not one whit of consolation to reflect that the violator of one of mine was some colored man instead of this white man. The man who by sheer force opens the gates whose only key is undefiled love is simply loathsome. The color of his skin detracts from nor adds to the indescribable horror of his crime not a particle. Lust is colorless. Mile after mile we sped into the darkness, until finally the transfer point was reached.

Many older persons recall the old song that was more or less popular thirty or more years ago, but one rarely, if at all, hears it sung these days. It ran something like this: The Montgomery Times calls for a revival of the "Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown" song. Many older persons recall the old song that was more or less popular thirty or more years ago, but one rarely, if at all, hears it sung these days. It run something like this: "Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown, Wha tyou gwine ter do when the rent comes round? What you gwine ter do when the rent comes to pay, Jest keep on workin' till the Judgment Day, Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown? "Unfortunately," says the Times, "nobody nowdays seems to be warning 'Rufus Rastus' at all. Nobody seems to be worrying about pay day any more. Everybody is buying on the installment plan, and nobody seems to inquire what would happen if times should get hard or a sudden panic or 'deflation'—some folks seem to think 'deflation' is a much nicer word than panic—should hit the country." The Times continues: "Unfortunately," says the Times, "nobody nowadays seems to be warning 'Rufus Rustus' at all. Nobody seems to be worrying about pay day any more. Everybody is buying on the installment plan, and nobody seems to inquire what would happen if times should get hard or a sudden panic or deflation"—some folks seem to think 'deflation' is a much nicer word than panic—should hit the country." The Times continues: The thought came to mind as we just heard the story of a farmer who bought a fliver and mortgaged two mules and a cow to pay for it. One mule died and the mortgagee sent for and took the other mule and cow, the cow being the main source of living for the family. This, of course, is an exaggerated case, but it shows the extremes to which people are going on the "installment plan." The next time you are tempted to buy something you might get along without, why not sing a stanza of "Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown" and then practice a little of that economy and self-control which this country so sorely needs at this time. Pay days always come, and whenever we obligate ourselves to too many pay days covering too long a period of time, some of those pay days will almost surely find us seriously uncomfortable. Perhaps the Times goes a little too far when it says that nobody seems to be worrying about pay day. There are still some who are taking thought of the future, who refrain from contracting debts without being certain they will be able to discharge them when the time comes. But there are not as many as there should be. Too many people are careless and indifferent in this respect. And it would be well for all of us to look ahead and take upon ourselves no obligation we cannot satisfy when the time comes for us to do so.

AMERICAN AESOP: Humor of the Negro, the Jew, the Irishman and others, by William Pickens, author of "The Vengeance of the Gods," "Noblewing Bonds, etc. Joseph and More Press, Boston. Price, $2.00. "The funniest book on earth," is praise not too extravagant for the new volume by William Pickens, entitled "American Aesop." In this book there are dozens of first-rate Negro stories, besides other comical tales, and a preface by Mr. Pickens which is one of the best essays on the function and essence of humor that has ever appeared. "Like the flash of white light used to take photographs at night," says the author, "Humor enables poorly sensitized minds to register what might otherwise be for them blurred spots of dark passages in the discourse—Good humor attracts sympathetic response as naturally as the sun attracts a flower—even the abstruse may be discerned through sympathy, while clearness itself may fail to penetrate indifference." Here we have a scholarly analysis written in fresh vigorous style." The stories are as good as the preface. They are practically all new, or, if a trifle worn in a few cases, they are cleverly rehabilitated. Everyone of them winds up with a "bite"—a spice and a tang that leave you chuckling for a few minutes as you ruminate before turning over the page. Like all such collections the "Aesop" should be taken gradually, say twenty pages a day. Mr. Pickens, who is spending his life trying to bring fair treatment for the colored race could not have found a better way to open our eyes of understanding for his people than by compiling this collection of witty and philosophical sayings. Many of the stories show a good-natured shrewdness and a worldly wise power of analysis not generally credited to the Negroes; indeed, we plainly get an intimation that some day the tables may be turned and those folk will be holding us "whites" up to the searching light of their ridicule, if, in fact, they have not already begun to subject us to a somewhat disconcerting glare. There's a good lesson for the laboring man of any color or race in this episode taken from Mr. Pickens' book: "A little Negro hoy was hired by some white men to dig fish huit for them. The little fellow also liked fishing, and when he saw that he had secured such a fine lot of earthworms, he really longed to have them for his own hooks. He eyed the worms covetously as he handed them over to the white fisherman, and one of the men asked: 'Well, what do want for this fine lot of huit?' "The little fellow, vigorously scratching his left ankle with his great toe nail, came out of his dilemma thus: 'I'll accept half the hait!'" — JANE GARROT. RELIGION AND BUSINESS; by W. P. Evans Landau, N. C. obnibinat from the author Mr. Evans is a prosperous business man of his home town, being proprietor of Evans' White Front Department Store. He has made success in a unique field for Negro enterprise, and enjoys liberally of both the white and colored patronage of the town. Mr. Evans' pamphlet, "Religion and Business," comprises an address he delivered some time ago before a convention of religious workers in Charlotte. It draws a relation between religion and business leaders. It gives hope and inspiration to the struggling young business man and contradicts many of the pet ideas regarding a colored man's chances of success in any line of commercial endeavor. Bishop W. J. Walls, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, reading a copy of the pamphlet, immediately sat down and wrote the author this compliment: "Mr. W. P. Evans: I have read your address on "Religion and Business" and I am frank to tell you that it is one of the most practical and original documents of its kind I have read. It is worthy of being read in every home of the race. If there could be some way to finance its distribution throughout the country, it would be worth more than its cost in the stimulus it would give our people in influencing them into business undertakings." As Bishop Walls has said, this address is a very practical and original document, and is fraught with stimulus, inspiration and race information for business and religious leaders and particularly for the young people of the race. The Sahara express runs from Paris to Timbuctu includes travel by boat, automobile and tractor as well as rail. PRESENT DAY JOURNALISM etter the other in the penitentiary. Judging from the internal evidence of the letter, I am disposed to think that he is but a normal representative of an increasing horde of city youth who has fallen upon some unlucky misadventure which has PETER B. landed him behind prison bars. I regard it as a high compliment that a youth who finds himself in such predicament should think that I can be of service to him. Of a number of such appeals which have come to me, I have never failed to respond in the most helpful way I knew how. But this had puts up to me a difficult and puzzling proposition. He wishes me to send him some colored paper for his own perusal and that of his fellow colored prison mats. It so happened that the same mail that brought this letter also contained the current copy of one of our most famous weeklies. I was curious to examine its contents with reference to its suitability for the requested purpose. Every murder of the preceding week was sensationally featured with striking pictures and deep leaded lins. The dive, the gambling den, the dance hall and the hilarious cabaret were set forth in bold appeal to the erotic nature of pleacid and unformed mind of youth. Sexual suggestion in its most libidinous appeal allured to sure destruction. Ribaldry, sport and the coarser forms of fun ran riot. There was little that was sane, safe and tonic for a reflective youth who was striving after the better way. I read the Washington Post every morning before breakfast. I regard it as one of the very best newspapers in the United States. It gathers the news from all over the world and arranges it in attractive, readable form, and gives comprehensive surveys in special articles and editorial comment. On comparing the edition of the Post on this particular day with that of the colored weekly in question. I found more murder, scandal, ribaldy and unseemly happenings on one page of the colored journal than in the entire edition of the Post. Now wouldn't this be a pretty dish to set before this fortnight youth who is seeking the better way behind prison bars? Now the world has changed since my boyhood days! I used to delight to read the Bible and Sunday school literature which set forth the good deeds of godly men and women which always pointed in the right direction. It was a disgrace for a boy to be seen looking at the Police Gazette which was the salacious journal of that day. My good old New England perception taught me that it was wrong to dance, to play cards, to go to theater, and even to read dime novels. I never was as good as my instruction. I never lived up fully to the rigid requirements. I did steal out of the dormitory on occasions and go to the theater to hear Shakespearean plays, for which I would have been instantly dismissed from Howard University, if found out. I did not give the full consent of my mind to the severe Puritanical standards. I had then and have now my full quota of faults, but hypocrisy is not one of them. I have witnessed the great transformation from the regime of that day to this. I try to keep an open mind. I frequently brush the recesses of my mind to make sure that the cobwebs are removed. I try to hold a just balance between the old and the new. To me nothing is good because it is now, nor bad because it is old. There is an abiding permanency in the eternal verities and virtues. I do not condemn the sensational newspaper. I do not even criticise the yellow journal. I merely describe them. I fully understand their motive, reason, end in view. Their whole aim is to be interesting and attractive to as many readers as possible. Vice is more inviting than virtue; sin is more alluring than righteousness. The practical journalist does not make public sentiment, he follows it. I have had considerable experience as a magazine-writer. The editor of one of America's leading magazine once told me that in all of his experience in editing several great magazines, he had never once chosen a contribution on the score of his own personal likes and taste. His only guide was what he judged would please his readers. We must have great sympathy for the colored editor. The old line virtues and values are largely discounted by the intelligence and the talented tenth. A journal adapted to their appreciation would find little financial support. The great mass of half-educated folks must be solicited. The editor must give them what they will take. The widely circulating Negro weeklies with their flaming headlines and sensational subject matter is a fact which fits into the actualities of the situation. The whites with superior advantages find themselves confronted by the same condition. The prudent editor in quest of wide circulation adjusts his journal to the requirements of the fifth grade mind, and not to those of the college graduate. There is hardly a self supporting religious journal in the country. The church or denomination who wants their standards of truth and righteousness promulgated must underwrite their own publication. The general reading public will not support them. We can clearly see that all of this is inevitable. No amount of preachment on my part will have much influence on the general drift. The world is in a state of flux and change. The old foundations are being broken up. The new foundations have not yet been definitely formed. The old order passeth before the new order is ready to take its place. There is bound to be much of chaos in the transition. Our economic, industrial, political, social and ethical procedure must needs be refashioned in light of modern science and the modern ways of thinking and doing things. The age will no longer be held in check by the dead hand of the past. The world today is hell-bent for Valentino rather than Chas. W. Eliot; for Hollywood rather than Harvard. It is doubly unfortunate for the Negro, in that AN AMERICAN PLAY From The Chicago Whip From the Chicago Whip Black Velvet is the colorful title given to a little drama showing on the stage of one of the theatres in Chicago. The author of the play and judging from the reception it is receiving, the American people do not present this theme of lust, murder and outlawing being styled American, but it is a disgrace to this noble nation. This presentation is one of the most audacious and brazen vehicles of race hatred, anti-propaganda and color madness that we have ever seen. It is more nauseating and malodorous than the "Birth of the Nation," more subtle and malignant than "White Cargo." It perverts truth, condones murder, whitewashes lust and lechery, it defiles innocence and purity, it tarnishes love, contorts life below the Mason-Dixon line, it slanders and libels the good name of honest people and boldly and unabashedly seeks to debauch the character of an offensive, subservient, simple-minded people. "Black Velvet" is the concoction of a wicked mind, tolerated by a wicked system and a people who are always unsuspecting and seemingly calloused. It is a damnable shame. This play shows the Southern plantation, the vindictive and philosophical old "Colonel." He is pictured as a humanitarian filled with a sentimental understanding of his surroundings. His grandson is depicted as a gallant warm-blooded Southern youth in love with a beautiful Northern girl but too weak to resist the physical charms of a comely octoonor servant girl. The Overser is there also. He murders the labor agent from the North and leads the lynching party along with the grandson. The victim of the lynching being a mullato who struck the grandson because of his indulgencies with the servant girl. Then a gentleman from the North is portrayed as a cold-blooded man of business who places no ideals above the dollar and is even willing to allow his daughter to marry the grandson notwithstanding the fact that he has knowledge of his illicit relations and bloody part in the lynching. It shows a handful of Southern whites controlled thousands of black people. Of course the "good old darkey" is. he misses the sustaining power of inhibition acquired by long ages of discipline and self restraint. The sudden transition from the Mississippi plantation to the delight of Harlem is more than he can endure with balance and composure. The Negroes in all of our great cities are running wild. There is but a residue of wholesome, sobering influences upon which we must rely to hold this hilarity in shock. What are our schools and colleges doing, one might ask, to cope with the situation? As our means of know'd age and culture multiply, the propensity to extravagance the more greatly vaunts itself. The great newspapers of whose erotic influence there is the bitterest complaint are owned and edited by college bred men. Our professional classes seem to encourage rather than to discourage the tendency. The old time minister cries aloud and spares not; he is merely tolerated as not knowing any better. But what is the use of empty moralizing without an effective remedy? What is to be done about conditions just described? Few will dispute; none can refute the facts as they are. There is a deep abiding feeling which finds lodgment at the very basis of the human consciousness, that, in some way or other, the good will overcome the bad, and the righteousness will finally triumph over evil. This is the saving optimism of humanity. The fall is always followed by a rebound. Even if the present generation must needs go to hell, the next will come back. The moral tendency of the present day Negro is undoubtedly retrograde. The drift of the present day youth is away from the moorings of the elders which have held the world to the right way until now. The Negro youth of the day are sowing their wild oats. The new Negro's heaven is found in Harlem. The picture is that of Babylon on the cve of its fall. But I divine that this is but an evanescent phase. The whole Negro world has not yet bowed the knee to Baal. There is enough seed corn left for the new harvest which will be for the salvation of the race. In this meantime, I have left this poor boy pining in the penitentiary, while I indulge in sermonic disquisition on the threatening life of the race. Farmers in the storm swept areas of Porto Rico are busy rebuilding. there along with his undying affection for the Colonel. In the end the Colonel gasps his last contending for racial purity and Nordic supremacy. It is a travesty against truth and a challenge to Christianity. In no Southern town do a handful of white people lyche a member of the black race when there are thousands of his own people on the scene.

The labor agents from the North did not draft thousands of black people from the South to give them "only six weeks' work." Italian peddlers did not teach the dope habit to simple-minded black people. Northern white people are not cold-blooded business automotors who place the dollar sign above their family honor. The mulattoes of the South are not overbearing and insulting. Voluptuous women with a strain of blood in them do not wittingly seek to seduce and entice the sons of the South, but are in most instances seduced and defiled themselves. One drop of blood from black ancestry does not pollute, corrupt and contaminate. The white people of the South are not the sustaining grace of this nation, neither are they destined to be eternal masters who must rule by might. In no instances have black people become insurgent and arisen in arms to annihilate the white South. In short the whole play is a campaign of lies and an infernal attempt to poison the mind of the North. Frank J. Keenan, who lends his wonderful histrionic ability to the leading role is dissipating his energy and debaucheing his splendid talent. Black Velvet is not an American play. It is not true to life and is merely a clumsy vehicle to stir up racial friction and intensify hatred. The only realistic thing in the plot was the dirty, filthy, illiterate sheriff who accompanied the lynchers with a hempen
