An Who: Attacked Girls Of
Both Races Sentenced
To Die In Chair
(By Associated Negro Press.)
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 20—This person, a *arch fend* must pay the prosecution penalty for his crime accusing the verdict of the jury which tried him in circuit court last week on charges of having attacked several small girls in the past two or three months. According to statements made, five of the six girls were colored and white. He was tried for having attacked the white girl and the boy brought in a verdict of guilty recommendation of mercy. He penalty for such a crime in his state is electrocution or life imprisonment. Lowe is alleged to have lured girls into the woods and attacked them. He first inserted advertisements in the papers for a to nurse his small child. He attacked them out some distance from the city, supposedly to go to the suburban home. There he attacked his victim and left them to their way back to the city as they could. His last three cases including the white girl arrested in getting the number of police traced him thru car numbers. After his first arrest, Lowe and others confined in a cell with him escaped. He was later captured in Indianapolis, Indiana, and carried under heavy guard. He was heavy guarded during the trial and is still in the Dauvall county jail. His attorney have filed a motion for new which was granted. Very hope that he will escape his fate is held out here.

Mrs. Alice Eason was killed near Diamond Springs Tuesday afternoon by a Norfolk and Southern car on the Cape Henry line.

Portsmouth Man's Studying . At Cornell University

INDICTED ON INCITING TO RIOT CHARGE
Accused Of Signing Names Of Negroes To Bad Letters
Richmond, Va., Oct 20—No doubt the colored citizens of Goochland county have been spared much bitter feeling against them by prominent whites of their community through the indictment brought last week against John H. Thompson 61, a well known white citizen residing several miles from the court house, on a charge of committing acts tending to incite riot. Thompson was released under $8,000. He had of having written insulting letters to a number of the most prominent white citizens of Goochland and to have signed the names of prominent colored citizens to them.
The case against him was worked up by John F. Wiley, a private detective of Richmond, and December 3, has been set as the date for trial. Meanwhile Thompson's attorneys are seeking to have a commission appointed to inquire into his mental condition.
The citizens of the county both white and colored, feel that resious race friction has probably been averted by the splendid work of Detective Wiley.
LETTER WRITER LANDS IN JAIL
Just why a man should write a letter to the wife of another man telling her that he is "on the scout" because he had killed a man, and then write a letter to her husband telling him "to start praying" doesn't seem quite clear, unless the writer means to strike terror in the breast of the male recipient of his missive. In fact, George Thomas, alias John Barco, better known as "Little Bud" didn't make that point clear when he was arraigned in Police Court Tuesday, but because he seems to possess a propensity for writing letters he now finds himself tarrying in the city jail for a two weeks wait while Detective W. C. Spencer and Officer Fentress entreat certain whether he is wanted in Georgia or Florida for killing a man.
Mr. Mara. Thelma Kelly testified Barco wrote her the "on the scout" letter from Florida and on his return to this city again told her about his having killed a man. Her husband testified that Barco also wrote him the "start praying let-
Barco was placed under $250 peace bond as far as the Kelly woman was concerned. He was charged with assaulting her when he heft her on Church street a few years ago. He will be given a hearing on the murder charge Monday.

$1,000 FELLOWSHIP FOR YOUNG WOMAN
Out Of A Group Of 150 She Was Only Colored Candidate To Compete
(Special to the Journal and Guide)
Washington, D. C., Oct. 20—Miss Anole Miller, a graduate of the Howard University School of Music. Class of 1926, of Washington, D. C., has been awarded a One Thousand Dollar Fellowship by the Juilliard Musical Foundation of New York City. Miss Miller will continue her work in voice culture. One of a group of one hundred, Miss Miller was the only colored candidate to compete for a Fellowship this year. Her success is due very largely to her own initiative and unusual musical ability.
Miss Misler matriculated at Howard University on a three-year scholarship and her senior year at Howard was made possible by a scholarship from the Juilliard Musical Foundation. As a result of a public appearance in Delaware, this summer, Miss Miller has also received Two Hundred Fifty Dollar scholarship from the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Colored Elks.
Miss Corrina Lampton, a graduate of the Howard University School of Music, has also received a fellowship from the Juilliard Musical Foundation and was further admitted by examination as a graduate student. This means that Miss Lampton has shown ability as a concert pianist and will be trained from now on for this particular work.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1926
MANSLAIN WITH HIS OWN GUN
Lambert's Point Man Shot To Death In Street Brawl
Jesse A. Elliott, of Lambert's Point is dead from a bullet fired from an automatic pistol belonging to himself, it is alleged. The pistol, when a steel-jacket from it snuffed out his life, was in the hands of another man. It had been loaned to a woman with which to shoot a third man when it fell into the hands of the man who killed its owner, according to reports current in the neighborhood. Elliott was shot at 1:30 a.m., Sunday by Prince Cook. He died two hours later.
Woman Cause of Trouble
According to the story told Detective Leon Nowitzky, who investigated the shooting, Joseph p h i n c h i a n, a young woman of the neighborhood, had some words with Johnny Griffin, familiar y o u n g h a n of the community, some hours previous to the killing, after which she warned him that should she meet him on Parker avenue again during the night she would kill him. Later on, it is alleged the Christian woman, in company with Josephine Cole, 1306 W. 45th street, James Healy, 1335 W. 42th street, and Prince Cook encountered Griffin on the street. The Christian woman, attempting to make good her threat, pulled the gun and tried to manipulate it, it is believed, but being unfamiliar with automatics was unable to fire the pistol. The Healy woman and Cook seized Josephine Christian and disarmed her, Cook taking the pistol. Later Jesse Elliott learned that Cook had his pistol and demanded that Cook return the weapon to him. An argument between Elliott and Cook ensued, then James Elliott, 1442 W. 42nd street, brother of Jesse, sought to break up the argument, telling his brother and Cook, "all you cut it out and go home." Jesse pitched off his coat and showed real fight. His brother James again intervened, throwing himself in front of Cook and Jesse in a short time to make peace. Cook it is said, with the pistol in his hand and fired the bullet hitting Jesse Elliott in a vital spot. James told Detective Nowitzky that the bullet came within a hair's breadth of getting inside of his brother. However, James did not flee after his brother had been shot, it is said, but landed on Cook and disarmed him.
Surrenders Himself
Following the shooting Cook went to the Fourth Prescinct Police Station and surrendered himself. When questioned by Detective Nowitzky he told substantially the same story as had been related to the officer by James Elliott, ex-taker that Cook claimed that he fired in self-defense, saying that he did not shoot until aware that Jesse Elliott was advancing on him with a knife.
Getting Cook's story Detective Nowitzky then rounded up all of the other parties concerned. Josephine Christian, Josephine Cole, James Healy and Johnny Griffin, all at first stoutly denied having been present when either the shooting or events leading up to it occurred. In fact, according to Mr. Nowitzky, they all professed complete ignorance of details relating to the killing. After being informed by the detective, however, that James Elliott had already told the whole story and that Cook himself had practically substantiated it, they all talked freely and admitted their parts in the tragedy.
All Parties Held
Cook is being held on a murder charge, while Josephine Christian, Josephine Cole, James Healy and Johnny Griffin were locked up on charges of mispisoning a felony, that is concealing a felony committed by the police. Reports in the neighborhood state that the pistol did belong to Jasse Elliott, the dead man, and that he had loaned it to Josephine Christian, with whom it is alleged he was intimate, to shoot Griffin.
Fred Brown Is Shot In Argument
Fred Brown, 816 Pulaski street, well-known fish vendor about town, was shot in the left arm by Johnny Hackney at 10:50 Saturday night and was painfully, if not seriously, injured, according to police reports. It is alleged the shooting followed an argument between the two men over a debt of $2.00 owed to Hackney by Brown.

South Carolina Citizens Denounce Aiken Lynching; Federal Law Demanded
The lynching of two men and a woman in Aiken, S. C., early on the morning of October 8, is interestingly discussed by prominent white citizens of South Carolina in letters in the columns of The State (Columbia) in its issue of October 13. Two of the letters are forcefully denunciatory, while one, though not condoning the crime, seeks to point out extenating circumstances. Mr. Hunter A. Gibbes, a Columbia lawyer, goes so far as to advocate the enactment of federal anti-lynching legislation.
The letters follow:
To the Editor of The State:
I have read your splendid editorial of October 11, and also the statement of L. G. Southard of Spartanburg, one of the attorneys for the defense in the Lowman trial, and I am writing to give you a "close-up," or what we newspaper men call a "low-down" of the lynching story, and you will, with the other good citizens, of the state, agree with me that, awful as the "butchery" of the three Negroes was, there is another side to the story.

First Period of "Everybody Wins" Campaign Closing; Contestants In Close Race
Neck And Neck
The first period of the Journal and Guide's "Everybody Wins" $3,500 prize subscription campaign comes to a close this Saturday night, October 23, with the contestants turning in the third week and second lap of the race with a show of skill in which indulgence at the grand prizes are anybody's yet. The second period begins immediately following the close of the first.
Some Real Hustling
Next week is certain to bring to the keenest competition that has so far developed in the contest despite the fact that the standing of the contestants at the end of this week shows that there is some real hustling in evidence and that a merry scramble for the two handsome automobiles and other cash awards is on. The compilation of the votes shows that at the close of the week the leading Norfolk city candidates are more practically than the comparative standing that they hold last week with each enjoying a large increase. W. H. M. Tatum, of Tatum's Inn, Brower and Charlotte streets, is leading with 370,000 votes. Eugene West, 1342 Church street, is holding to second place with 350,000 votes, while A. V. Rose, Hale street, displaces Mrs. Miles Young for third place with 320,000 votes.
The pace for the out-of-town contestants is being set by Mrs. Myrtle Robinson, of Hampton, who is leading with 325,000 votes. She is closely pushed by Mrs. Hale holds 315,000 votes, Mrs. H. S. Stanley, the Commercial Bank, Wilson, N. C., threatens the two leaders with a credit of 312,000 votes. Fourth place is held by Mrs. Rowena White, of Lynchburg, with 285,000 and Mr. W. W. Wallace, of Portsmouth is in fifth place with 275,000 votes.

FAITH AND LOYALTY
INSPIRE CANDIDATES
Their Letters Evidence Lofty Sentiments. Actuating The Contestants
Besides the wholesome spirit of rivalry that is being manifested by the contestants in the Journal and Guide's $3,500 grand prize distribution subscription campaign, there is a spirit of faith and loyalty actuating these contestants such as has probably never before been evidenced in an effort of this kind. Each day the manager of the campaign and the publishers of the Journal and Guide receive assurances from candidates that it is their faith in this paper and their loyalty to it as their own family organ that has as much to do with inspiring them to work to help increase its prestige and influence as is the prize to be won. For instance, the W. H. W. M. Tatakawa of the city, writes: "Dear Editor: Of course I hope to win in this campaign but whether I win or not I feel that I am doing my friends a good turn when I persuade them to become subscribers to your splendid paper."
And this from Mr. A. V. Rose, of Hale street: "Whether I win first or not I will have the satisfaction of knowing that I am working for the best race paper published and one of the best institutions of our race in this city."
Then Mr. Eugene West says he is inspired by the desire to strengthen the arms of his home town paper which has done so much to bring about better local conditions.
Mrs. G. A. Baker, of Littleton, M. C. says in her letter that she has been reading the Journal and Guide for 20 years and wants to help maintain its high standards. (Continued on page 8.)

(Special to the Journal and Guide)
Washington, D. C., Oct. 20—The trial of Charles S. Hill, an attorney, 611 F. street, northwest, on a charge of embellishment, has been set for November 1.
The case was called for trial Monday morning, but attorneys for Mr. Hill requested a continuance. They told Justice Hoehling that their client hoped to make restitution of the funds he is charged with embellishing.

Bristol, Teen, Oct. 20—Jill 19-year-old Richard Logan was shot and critically wounded here Monday afternoon of last week by Bertie Wise, white, foster daughter of R. L. Hall, because he climbed a chestnut tree in the Hall yard.

She said that I told him to come down out of that tree and when he didn't I went in the house and got daddy's pistol and shot him. I don't want any Negro boys hanging around me. The Wise girl was raised by I and Mrs. Hall, who are said to have petitioned the juvenile just a week before to have her placed home, because she was incorrigible. She is only 15 years old.

Union And St. Paul In
The Lead With The
Dragons Third
THE'BISONS'TRIUMP!
BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON
Union and St. Paul have taken the lead in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, with the former seeming to hold the slight edge. Union's victory over Shaw gives her two wins in two starts, which St. Paul's march was checked by the improved Bull of Johnson C. Smith last week when these two eleven battled to a scoreless end. The Tigers have taken two out of three games being credited with two wins and one tie game.
Va. Seminary comes in for third place and Smith and Shaw are holding down the cellar. Seminary and St. Paul are the only two teams in the association having three games. Union downed Shaw at 26-0. Va. Seminary nosed out over Va. Nov. 14. St. Paul and Smith ended fray at 0-0 Hampton had no association game last Saturday, but the Seasideers turned in a 20-0 victory over the N. C. College declaration.
Other Games
West Virginia blanked the Morgan College Boars by a score of 19-0. The Institute boys romped at will over the Marylanders. While the Bob Cats were turning in such a nice win, Wilberforce, minus Ward and several others, out on account of injuries, lambasted Simmons all over the lot and took the game by a 41-0 score.
The big struggle this week-end will find Union and St. Paul clashing at Lawrenceville, Va. Semi- and A. and T. at Lynchburg and Hampton and Va. Normal at Petersburg. At the same time Shaw and Smith will engage in battle to decide who remains in the cellar.
The big clash in the East will find Howard and West Virginia facing each other in one of the section's biggest tussles of the season. Morgan stacks up against Annapolis, who now takes off week to prepare for the strong aggregation from the far South, Tuskegee, at Philadelphia, October 29. In the Southland, Coach Abbott's eleven will meet Morhouse on the home lot.
ADMITS ATTACK
STORY WAS FAKE
White Girl Had Told Police Two Colored Men Had Detained Her
(By Associated Negro Press)
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 20—The police and many citizens of Manayunk, a suburban town, were started when Anna Brown, white, said she was attacked by two colored men Wednesday night, but later said she "made up the whole story."
Wednesday night Anna, who is seventeen, met some friends and went for an automobile ride. Their destination was a wooded section of Manayunk. She stayed out all night.
From a drug store in the suburban town, Anna 'phoned her mother that two colored men had knipped her. From the drug store Anna went direct to the police station and told her story.
She said two colored men held up the automobile in which she was riding and her friends, placed a chloroform-tolerated soaked rag over her face and dragged her from the can. They carried her in the woods and tried to attack her. They held her for two hours in a room. Man-what was being prepared and all the police of Manayunk were "called to the colors." But before they left the station house the lieutenant wanted to know who was with her or where were they. Anna had not planned the story as it should be, so she hosted for a few minutes.
Whether Annn had told her friends of her plans or not they could not be found. But to Anna it was different, and she knew it. She was not accustomed to staying out all night so the lie was the result.
Further questioning by the lieutenant brought out the truth.
"We stayed out all night," Anna confessed, "and I was afraid to go home at such an hour. So I hatched up the story of being attacked by two colored men so that it would seem real and my mother would believe me."

SUCH DEVOTION NEEDS RESPONSE
Dear Naomi:
I have been reading many of your letters. I am 22 years of age, I have not the opportunity to go about as other girls.
A young boy claims he is in love with me. He lives in North Carolina, and every time I go there I stay with my sister and he never fails to come and see me. He tells me that he cares for me and no one but me, and that he is not going to marry any one but me. He does not go with any other girl when I am not there. He is 20 years of age. The boys tell me that he is afraid to talk to girls, but he always talks to me. I do not love him, though he has been liking me for about three years.
One reason is that he cannot read or write; another is that I am a year and half older than he. Is that any harm? He would marry me at any time if I would only say, but I am not thinking about getting married for a while any way.
I am called one of the best girls in my neighborhood. I am now owner of a seven passenger Marion touring car car. Of course I do not know so many young boys, many people tell me that I would make a good wife. I hope to see this in the Guide and I also hope that some nice young man will see it too.
Waiting for a reply
Dear Waiting:
I hope you will receive your reply and you will find a young man that you can love. If the other young fellow has good habits and charming ways why not urge him to go to school and learn as it is indeed unfortunate to one not to know how in these enlightened times. If he is very anxious to win you maybe he would put forth an extra effort and thereby be many quicker. Some of them are many older than their husbands. No, there is no harm in it, but ask yourself the question, if you will have the power to be attractive to him down the years.
ON HOW TO CONDUCT
ONES SELF
Dear Naomi:
1. I appreciate the information that you give in the Journal and Guide and am now asking for some advice for myself. Please answer the following questions.
1. What should a boy say when he is introduced to a girl?
2. Should a boy extend his hand first or is it out of use to shake hands?
3. If a boy takes a girl to church or any other place should she hold his hat? And should he give her money to pay in church?
P. S. I am a young man of 23 and would like to correspond with some nice young lady with good education.
Dear Cutie:
Dear Curtis,
I hope you will find your answers
to K.
Call the young lady's name
and smile.
2. No, the lady extends her hand first if it is done at all. No, it is not out of use and yet some do not use the custom.
3. It is not necessary for her to hold your hat and yet quite a few women do that and they have broken no rule in so doing. No.

HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS
Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER
Home Economics Dept., Calumet Baking Powder Co.
FOR THE INVALID TRAY
While your patient is seriously, possibly dangerously ill, meals and medicine can be more difficult to serve. Careless commences and the patient once more begins to take an interest in life should be a pleasure as well as a duty. You should keep the menu or dishes served on the tray from becoming uninterested. During time is looked forward to eagerly for the patient to bring paper and the doctor's visit, it is about the only bright spot in the slow passing of time, unless one can have visitors and you can see how a clean tray carefully set with shining glass and silver and with a shiny knife will garnish well produced food. The patient previously didn't think it would be so bad, but nothing that should be not bad, nothing that occasionally it is a good idea to just change it. around and instead of serving lunch, have cold and jolled and perhaps a basket of fruit and vegetables on the basket made out of an orange or grape fruit shell and if salad dressing is used, a salt and scallop to form a small container.
It is not easy to balance a heavy tray, on ones laps while propped up in bed or on a stool. You can make it easier if you are fortunate enough to have a especially made heddle table which extends over the bed, the base resting on the floor, and the table also short-heddle stools or tables which are firm enough so as to slide easily, if boy could make one and enjoy the work. You can build one quicker, build one at little expense. No matter what you are cooking or serving, vary it. Serve the food on a large plate or a large bowl or paper or paper doilies, use your nester silver and china for the salad or mash dish, and slave all do not place the dish on the tray. A flower or a joke, a favor a puzzle or something not expected will net as a surprise and make one forget being uncomfortable or convalescent.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CAREFUL MEASURING
Careful measurements are absolutely necessary to ensure the best results. TE gelatin should be measured and which is elubes baking powder, salt, spices and flour, must be measured accurately and the ingredients should be such ingredients as spices and baking powder do not require sifting before measuring, but they must. Therefore they should be stirred to lighten.
All measurements should be made level. Tea gelatin using Culinary Met linking Powder, which is a strontium powder, measure a teaspoon or tablepoon, dip a tsp in the ingredient, fill, level with a knife. The same in true wine measuring a cup, fill, level with a knife, if liquid, measure the required a mount in a measuring cup, fill, level with a knife, pack down lighten in a cup until it reaches the mark indicating the required amount. If all three points are observed, the greatest success will be the result.

SHORT TALKS ON BUSINESS
BY HARRY H. PACE
(By the Associated Negro Press)
The greatest drawback to the purchase of stock in Negro Corporations has been the inconveniability of the stock into cash. Many people who have surplus or idle funds, who do not doubt the wisdom of the enterprise, or the ability of its management, or the possibility of large profits, would invest in the early stages of an enterprise if it was at all sure that the stock could be realized on at time time in the future without reasonable delay.
The absence of a central market place where definite quotations are to the worth or value of a stock is a great hindrance to this very object. The absence of any known would-be buyers is another and most important deterrent. Yet both of these things can be overcome and should be overcome if Negro business enterprises are to be built up on a satisfactory basis. We cannot expect people to buy that cannot handle those of us who are engaged in the process of developing a financial glide to the progress of the race must take heed of this thing and work together that this condition be overcome. It must become apparent to all that values in stock do not happen; values are made.
The white financial creates values for his output of stock just as the realtor does for his vacant lots that become a beautiful suburb.
The realtor buys the acre, lays out his lots with streets and driveways, and sells to an original purchaser at a handsome profit. This purchaser inspired by the confidence which the scheme and the management have brought to him tells to another and the chances are that the entire property will change hards more than once before the ultimate purchaser, the home builder who is the real investor comes in. Meanwhile the realtor has gone ahead developing the property with concrete walls, filling it with the whole thing becomes something of definite and permanent value. With complete development comes a recognized value that brings adaptability into cash, or already acceptance as collateral.
The managers and organizers of Negro commercial enterprise owe it to the public to make easy the convertibility into cash the stock of the various race enterprises. And this can be done with profit and safety to three classes; the investing public, the corporation itself and the banking institutions of the race.
As a matter of fact the banks can, to their own advantage, create a large class of investors in Negro stocks and bonds that will rebound to their safety in making loans, on approved collateral, rather than an accommodation endorsement that is too often, not good in nature.
The National Negro Bankers Association could for instance have a committee on securities whose duty it would be to have the worn statements and auditors reports of every Negro corporation seeking financial recognition filed with it, at least twice a year. These reports could be supplemented by other reports, on its officers, on its reputation in the community, on the service it was rendering the public, and its general prospects. The committee could then meet and pretty accurately determine the underlying value of the stock in each company and live at a conclusion of it is worth from the standpoint of collateral. Every member of the bank would then be notified, and an investor who owned the stock could readily ascertain how much he could get in his holdings. The knowledge that he could borrow that he could oftimes completely rid of any desire to sell.
The banks themselves would be better off because they have a security that was of an ascertained value for a loan, instead of some prominent citizen's name on a note which they could not afford to proceed against in order to collect. The corporations themselves solve a ought to support such a movement by actually finding a market for every share of their stock, which might be offered for them even if the officers themselves had to absorb it temporarily before resale. The fact that a market exists for a thing, is oftimes the greatest reason not to own to sell. There would then be a double demand, that of the investor who held the stock of the outsider who wants to buy when offered.
friendly to convertibility into cash when needed would stimulate and keep alive the purchase of Negro stocks and make possible the development of enterprises that by every reason ought to be begun.

Washington, D. C., October 18—Kosciuszko Recognition Day, signaling the 150th anniversary of the entry of Kosciuszko into George Washington's Colonial Army as a Colonel was celebrated in Memorial Continental Hall here Monday evening, October 18th, unjustices of commanding importance the arrangements were made by The Kosciuszko Association, which has been organized for the promotion of intellectual and cultural relations between Poland and the United States.
The Kosciuszko Foundation is sponsored by a distinguished committee headed by Former Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes, Elluhu Root, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University, Rupert Hughes, the novelist; Ignace Jan Paderewski, the pianist, who was formerly premier of Poland; and others of lifelong interest. The National Council of the Kosciuszko Foundation is composed of some 100 persons of national and international importance.
Among the speakers at the meeting Monday night were: the Polish Minister Jan Clechanowski; Honorable Joseph C. Cew, Undersecretary of State; Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken, President of Vassar College; Mrs. Alfred Brosseau, President General of the Daughters of Washington, and representatives of leading patriotic and educational institutions. Because of Kosciuszko's interest in the American Negro and the well-known facts regarding his wish to free American slaves, for which purpose he left to Thomas Jefferson his property in this country, the officers of the Kosciuszko Foundation requested Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, Washington to speak in behalf of the American Kosciuszko was practically the pioneer as regards the abolition of slavery in this country.
Among those in attendance were the members of the Special Polish Commission which arrived in Washington last week to present to the American Government thru President Coolidge 100 books containing 5,000,000 signatures of Polish citizens in greeting to this country, and one of the most distinguished audiences ever gathered in the National Capital District. In his address, Doctor Scott said: "When Kosciuszko came to America in the early summer of 1776 he found himself in the midst of a great outpouring of national feeling. The country was at war with Great Britain. In the churches and school houses mass meetings were being held. Democratic resolutions were being adopted. Liberty was being proclaimed. Freedom was being proclaimed. The country was in tumult and revolt. Intolerable bonds of national servitude were being severed.
"Koseiuszko came to America imbued with that philosophy of 18th Century, France which had taught him the equality of all human beings—a philosophy which endures in France until today—and with a spirit already baptized in national idealism. He threw himself into the military contest on the side of the colonists with dashing ardor and consummate ability. He was poised from Washington, his commanders, and came to be regarded with the same confidence and homage as that other international patriot, LaFayette, because he had served so greatly the cause of American independence
Kosciuszko Adhored Shavery "But in the midst of his distinguished service to American independence Kosciuszko suffered spiritual shock and agony. As he fought for the liberty of an American colonists he can face to face with the slave of the colonists, by the incongruity of the people of a nation praying and fighting for freedom while at the same time holding their fellowmen in bondage. Before he was twenty years of age the vasalage of his own serfs had filled him with abhorrence and the first act of his manhood was to break their fetters. His acquaintance with American slavery led him further to recognize, he his friend, Emmarade Thomas Jefferson that the whole commerce be master and slave was a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and the most degrading submissions on the other."
His Sympathy For The Negroes "His deep sympathy went cut to the Negro, and although the main task for which he came to the country was finished he could not forget the slave. After the American Revolution and when about to return to his beloved Poland, he wrote his will and sent it to Thomas Jefferson whom he named as his executor. In this will written more than half a century before the Civil War, the Polish patriot pleaded for the emancipation of American slaves and gave the whole of his modest fortune to be employed in purchasing and freeing them in his hands in giving them an education, and in having them instructed so that they might become good citizens—happy and useful men and women.
"Kosciuszko's wishes were never carried out, but the legacy finally went to ward the founding of the first educational institution for Colored people in the United States to be opened in the United States. In spirit and spirit, therefore, he was a pioneer in both the effort to emancipate the slaves and in the effort to train them for worthy citizenship.
NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE
Before a large gathering of Alumni and visitors, the Lincoln Lions ran up their largest score of the season and of many season past against Storer College boys from West Virginia. Storer gave ground grudgingly, but the first half, Martin and Motley brought three touchdowns. The second quarter was more of a kicking dual with the ball constantly in Storer's territory. Just before the whistle blew a forward pass from Preston to Temple, who made a nice catch netted another touchdown and kicked goal. Both teams were on the ground, both gains. Hibbing of Lincoln began to carry the ball and seemed to be the regular "Jazz" Byrd of a few years ago. Preston made a goal placement kick from the twenty-five yard line to help with the 63 points of the second half. Preston also was a consistent ground gainer. For Storer, Brown and Jones gained the most ground with forward passes.

The Game
E. B. HENDERSON
Dr. Henderson has officiated at more football games over a longer period than any official in our group. He has been in touch with many difficult and humorous situations, and varied types of coaches, officials and players. He will tell of some experiences and an awe football queries diverted to this column thru this paper. Address your query to the Sports Editor.
It is my purpose to devote this column as a clearing house for mooted points. It has been the habit of coaches and players to mail their queries to summer session teachers of football, local sports editors, and various members of the football rules committee. We are anxious to serve the football public with the knowledge and experience of the past 92 years.
To start this column a few pertinent queries in the mind of the football fraternity deserve to be answered.
What are the main changes in the rules of 1925? There were two. To prevent so many 'kick-off' going over the goal line, the forty-yard mark was restored as the spot from which the putting 60 yards between it and the goal line. In 1924 the officials were supposed in the case of a blocked kick to determine by whom the kicked ball was blocked or touched. This resulted in much confusion occasionally. In order to eliminate this confusion, the rules were changed to provide that a blocked kick which does not cross the scrummage line is played if it is not on the other hand, a blocked kick crosses the scrummage line, it is played like a kick that is not away clean.
This Year's Changes
What changes occur in the rules for this season?
1. A penalty of five yards (in addition to the loss of a down) is now imposed in each instance where a team makes more than one incomplete forward pass during the same series of fouls down.
2. A team which has scored a safety will now put the ball in play by a kick from its own line. (This is intended to hand the team that side a safety in danger and get the advantage of a thirty yard distance from which to start play.)
3. This year the ball becomes automatically dead when it crosses the side line, the side line extended, or the end line. For years when an on-side player touched the ball in the field of play and it was fumbled to outside, there resulted an unholy scramble to recover the ball, often resulting in injury because of the proximity of fences.
IS THE GAME TOO SLOW?
By Observer
Is the game being played too slowly? I have seen all the leading teams, both in Virginia and North Carolina, except Livingstone, within the past few seasons and my conclusion is that the game is being played decidedly too slowly. In every game which is played the full time there should be as many as 250 plays and not less than 225. Such tactics as holding a "conference" behind the line before every play, long drawn-out signals, placing men with the hands, stapping each man on the back and unnecessary arguments the referee uses superflous and instead of adding to the game detracts. A slowly played and dragging game is boring and referees should see that no time is unnecessarily lost. Spectators like to see action and a plenty of it, so let us have a game with more life in it.
The Kickoff
It is surprising to find so many well-coached teams absolutely unaware of the advantages and disadvantages of the kickoff. The winner of the toss in the beginning should always elect to kick-off, because each team goes on the field nervous and give your opponent the first chance to handle the ball, he may fumble close to his goal line. The ball is kicked up, suppressed and even taken from returning it beyond the 20 yard line, he is forced to punt midfield. You are in a position to begin a goal-line-drive attack. Even if you cannot make the goal line the ball is being played in his territory. In the Yale-Dartmouth game last Saturday Dartmouth won the toss and Dartmouth kicked off. On the other hand in invariably when a team is touched-down upon they receive the kick, when as a matter of fact just the opposite should be the case. There an advantage in kickoff-off? Fiedman, captain and quarterback of the Michigan eleven says
Placing Backs
Just because a man plays fullback or halfback is no reason why he should be in these positions on receiving a kickoff. The fastest back should be placed in the center near the goal posts. Grange played halfback in the last game, but on every kickoff he was in the center. Acting upon this the team kicking off should always kick to the corner. This will force a slow runner to receive the ball and almost compel him to run to one side of the field, whereas if the ball is kicked to the center the runner may go either way and your team will be scattered until his direction is determined.
Harrison Downs Dunbar Hi 12-0
Roanoke, Va., Oct. 21—Harrison Hi defeated the Dunbar high school eleven, of Lynchburg, here last week by a score of 12-0. The game hovered around mid-field throughout the first half, with neither team gaining the advantage, but Gill, fullback carrying the ball for ten yards across Dunbar's goal in the second half after the ball had been worked down to that point, scored the first touchdown. In the last five minutes of play, the second tally was made. The extra point after each touchdown was not made. Gill, Raybon, Johnson and Graham were the outstanding players.
Week's Cutting And Shooting Affrays
According to reports received at Police Headquarters, Robert Gregory, 632 Denby street, was shot in the thigh at 9:15 Friday night by James Harrell of 810 Wide street. George Smith was cut in the forehead and on the right arm on Smith street by a man called Tony at 8:30 Saturday night. Cornell Lee, 201 Kent street, was struck on the head and over the eye with a club by his son, Tolbert, Friday night at 11:45, necessitating the taking of four stitches to close his wounds. Dennis Woodruff, 908 East Brambleton avenue, was stabbed in the head at the Palace Theatre.
benches or spectators.
4. The rues on crawling, piling up, and roughness have been further clarified and given more force. Is the a. n. system used whereby spectators, members of the press, and coaches may be informed as to exactly what has happened or is happening on the field of play?
An Innovation
Scorebonds are used but are often ineffective and wrong. Some referees have evolved a system of signals on all major points that arise, such as: Hands on hips—offside, grasping the wrist—holding, arms extended upward—scoring, shaking of the fists—unnecessary roughness, etc. In Cleveland at Dunn Field an experienced referee is a considerable and safe distance away from play, moving up when the ball is declared dead and announcing the facts pertaining to the play, as stated by the referee to the captains and other players. This hawked well.
When is the "Huddle" illegal? The Huddle is legal when it is used to call the play. If it is used in conference or discussion means it is illegal and the referee may charge a time-out to the team so violating the purpose of the "Huddle" or he may penalize the team five yards for delaying the game.
WILBERFORCE RUNS OVER SIMMONS
WILBERFORCE RUNS OVER SIMMONS
Wilberforce, Ohio, October 21
An attack as insistent as the gnawing of hunger, a defense as staunch as rock-ribbed mountains, a desire to conquer as unquenchable as volcanic fires represents a courage to vanquish as collegians find "Collegiate Struggle Buggies" to start on icey-cold mornings. In the possession of the Graves-coached Green and Gold Wilberforce football machine today it must have represented an avalanche of touchdowns serving as a means to the end of Swamping Simmons University of Kentucky. With these elements of play characterizing the action of the local aggregation Simmons bravely lashed out in an effort to stem the inexorable tide, but its effort were fule and it suffered as terrific a beating as both teams and spectators suffered a terrific drenching during the attack about most of the game. While most everybody scampered for cover when black, foreboding clouds put in their sombre appearance still everybody on this attractive campus knows that Wilberforce University romped to a 41 to 0 victory.
Force
If you want to know who the stars were, aside from scoring prowess, look through the line up and the list of substitutes. Wilberforce has a good team, and although Ward and a few other well known players were out with injuries that will soon be something of the past, it played satisfying football. Redden, brother of the Wilberforce Redden of the past few years, and Mendenhall are the victors two new ends who are going to be hard to get by. Burks and Riley were noticeable in the Simmons backfield. Manson, at center, and Daniels and Norris at guard formed a powerful line combination. If Simmons would wear numbers on its jerseys it would aid those who report their games and make it easier to give individual players their credit for particularly, good playing.

N.Y.Collegians Hold Paterson
N.Y.Collegians Hold Paterson
1
New York, Oct. 21—The New York Collegians, formerly the Adelphias met and held the strong Patterson Athletic Club, last Sunday on the latter's home ground, to a scoreless tie. Out-wheed, the "Collegians" displayed a brand of football never before shown in the Jersey City. But it was evident to the crowd that the colored lads had class.
The "Collegians" had the ball in Paterson's territory the game, which was gone ended, the "Collegians" were playing stronger than at any other time, having the ball in their possession on Paterson's three yard line.
Gilmer and Tuppae were much in evidence in the backfield, and the work of the line was superb in holding the heavy orange jerseyed Paterson team off. M. Giles and J. Giles on the left wing and Coston and Brackett on the right made the openings through which the backs ploughed. Harris' passes to the backfield from center were perfect and when Ammons took the team down the field on a succession of line plunges and end runs in the final quarter, the crowd rooted wildly for the colored boys to come through with a touchdown. The Paterson team's outstanding star. At the opening of the game, Congressman Geo. N. Seger made the kick off and at the beginning of the second half, County Clerk, John McCutcheon did the honors.

WHITE COMPANY
eee ee fet Sneria!
Little Rocks, ‘Ark, Oct—Special—
‘The race lost another business en-
terprise,. when the Knights and
Daughteis. of Tabor was taken
over lock, stock and barrel by the
Standard Life Insurance Company,
lof Bureka Serings, Ark. This deal
Nias kept secret by the officials of
the Knights and Daughters of Ta-
bor from the public and it was
not until Monday, when the infor-
mation concerning, the deal became
‘known, although the papers in the
matter had been approved by the
Insurance Department of Arkansas
‘on September 7th.
‘Matter Pnauthorized ‘
‘The consideration was not made
public but nevertheless, as far as
is able to determine by the dele-
gates who attended the Grand
Session et Pine Bluff, the matter
had never been authorized bythe
Grand Session. When the Grand
Session met in regular’ convention
in Pine Bluff on July 20, no men-
tion was made of the fact that the
‘order was in such a rocky condi-
tion and that it would be necessary
to sell the Order’s Insurance De-
partment and buildings to some
‘other concern the following week.
Although, there was current rumor
bout the state that.the order was
Hingolvent and owed more than
$55,000 worth of death claims, the
officers denied this, stating. that
ja. rea) estate loan on the building
Jat Ninth and State Streets, known
as Taborian Hall for $25,000 would
jput the order in a “very good
shape.”
| Negotiations have been~ under
way, for several weeks between the
officials of the: Standard Life In-
suranee Company ‘and the Knights
and Daugtiters of Tabor.
Bought By Standard Life
Papers filed with’ the State In-
surance Départment show that the
Standard Life Insurance. Company
has undertaken to underwrite the
jinourance business of the Knights
‘and Daughters of Tabor... The
agreement was signed by W. E.
Patterson, President and W. G.
Ignalls, Seeretary of the Standard
Ife Tisurance Company ‘and Sci
pio A, Jordan, Chief Grand Mentor
and J. H. Hammonds, Grand Sec-
rotary of the Knights of Tabor.
‘The Standard Life Insurance Com
peny is the Arkansas Company or-
‘ganized bywhite men which now
owns the former Standard Life of
Georgia. ‘The Knights and Dauzh-
ters of Taber until about five years
ago was considered “one of the
strongest colored fraternal socie-
ties in‘ Arkansas. It has been
gperating its insurance department
Yor about twenty years and has a
membership of 14,26) merabevs.
The department records at the
State’ House show that the Tabors
was the first colored society to be-
gin insurance business in Arkan-
sas. The wrilten agreement trans-
fers the Taborian Hall at Ninth
and State and 118 acres of coun-
‘try property owned by the Knights
‘of Tabor to the Standard Life. The
‘property listed has about an esti-
mated value of $125,000 with an
encumberance of. 25,000.

At the courthouse in Aiken on hour following the brutal murder of 90-year-old Henni HI. However, April 25, 1925, the court gathered clamoring at the gates of the jail for the murders. Sheriff Robinson, then deputy for Howard, with the blood streaming down his face from wounds made by Bertha Lowman, and his right arm twisted and lacerated, held back the angry crowd by his appeal for law and order. "Let the law take its course, do not disgrace our county and state," he pleaded, "I beg of you, men, in the name of the dead, get back and applaud the law, back to your homes and let the largest that ever swept the streets of Aiken, almost immediately dispersed. Is that abiding by the law?
The deputy with a few guards conveyed the Negroes, Clarence and Demmon Lowman, to the penitentiary, along a road whereon at any point 50 men could have dragged the prisoners from the car and handed them over, then followed the prisoners. Is that abiding by the law? Negro societies in the North raised a fund for the defense of the Lowmans, who, they claimed, were "defending their castle." A

new trial was sought for the three prisoners, after two had been sentenced to death and the woman to life servitude, and the trial was granted. During the second trial there was no show of disturbance in the crowded courtroom, until L. G. Southard, attorney for the Lowmans, exalted over the refusal of the court to admit evidence of finding liquor at the Lowman home a day following the murder, termed the trial "nothing but another one of these dirty liquor cases." He further said in open court, "I have nothing but contempt for the Volstead act, and I only wish someone would bury a quart of liquor in my yard." He termed former Solicitor Robert L. Hunter, an old grandfather, who has been at the bar for 45 years." Of Solicitor Berte D. Carter and Bailer B. Salley, attorneys for the state, he said, "Aiken sent forth her most eminent lawyers and they were booted out of court." In the denunciation of the Volstead act he was taken to task by Judge Lambert, but his words had no effect on the assaults made by the spectators. He believed that he was insinuating that Sherif Howard was on a "dirty mission" when killed. Attorney Southard then moved that a verdict of acquittal be directed for all the Lowmans. His assistant in the case, N. J. Frederick, Negro attorney of Columbia followed in a speech in which he stated: "There is not one scintilla of evidence against these prisoners, and it is the bounded duty of the court to direct a verdict."
Now, over a thousand citizens viewed the spot of Sheriff Howard's murder. They saw him lying dead with 93 shots in his back. They saw the door of the Lowman house splintered with bullets when Demonm they said, fought the ty Robinson and Denulty McElhany in battle, shooting first at one and then at the other. They saw the bleeding hand of Robinson, with an ounce chunk of his flesh torn away by Bertha Lowman in her effort to kill him with the dead sheriff's pistol, which she had taken from his cold hand.
You could not tell these people that the Lowmans were not guilty. Demmon (they said, fought the deputies to keep them from aiding their chief, Howard. Demmon was a bad character. Only two weeks prior to the death of Sheriff Howard he had been whipped by the white citizens for his behavior. The Negro preacher of the Baptist church wrote to the sheriff to stop the Lowmans from selling liquor to his congregation, that he was to have a big rally at his church on the Sunday following the killing of Sheriff Howard, and wanted the Lowmans' raided. In the face of this Attorney Southard said: "Bertha Lowman was in her yard where she had a right to be, and
EDUCATORS WILL MEET AT V.N.I.I.
Teachers From All Parts Of Globe To Study Methods Of State School
(Special to Journal and Guide)
Petersburg, Va., Oct. 25—On October 27, a great body of leaders and teachers in education from all parts of the globe will visit the Virginia Institute and Industrial Institute at Petersburg, Virginia, to study problems in education as they relate to the Negro. Among this group are representatives from South America, Porto Rico, Haiti, China, Japan, Korea, England, France, Spain, and other places. They are here in the United States attending the International Institute at Columbia University under the guidance of Dr. M. C. Del Mango and Dr. Paul Monroe.
President John M. Gandy is trying out a new form of instruction this year—a system of student-teaching under the guidance of supervisors. The visitors will make a special study of this phase of the work along with others. Arrangements are being made to hold a conference in the afternoon for discussions of various problems in education. The officers of the school are looking forward to a profitable meeting.
the officers, as they appeared with a defective warrant, had no right on the premises."
Throughout the three days of the trial Attorney Southard's demeanor was bordering on the insolent. He blustered and shouted in a cook-of-the walk manner. He even tried to have Solicitor Carter agree to free Bertha and Demon and accept a plea of manslaughter against Clarence! On the streets he boasted that "not a hair in the head of Clarence would be touched." It is really a marvel that he was not taken out from his hotel and whipped by indignant citizens. The Negro refinement appeared much refined than his white panion, and appeared to show respect for the crape draped widow and little children of the dead sheriff, who sat within a few feet of them.
As to Mr. Southard's talk to the jury trying the case, that they were ready to acquit Bertha and Denmon, that statement is pure "bunk." Out of the 12 men nine had made up their minds to have the three Lowmans electrocuted, the other three not giving an opinion. The decision was made following the testimony of the officers and before the jury had left their seats, so strong was the evidence that the Lowmans were listed in the murder of the sheriff.
It is a pity that the awful affair has occurred to stain Aiken county—we are not certain that Aiken citizens did the killing of the Lowmans—and the people generally deploy the violent deed. But had Attorney Southard used discretion in handling the defense, feeling that he was on delicate ground, is my belief that there would have been no lynching. His conduct in court, his assertions on the street, his insults to the widow and children of the dead Henry Howard loaded the guns of the lynchers.
I have been waiting, with peculiar interest, for an editorial from you on the Aiken massacre; and it find it in this morning's issue and it shows that your paper is still to be depended upon as sound a clarion call for justice, for decency, for right, when acts have been committed which outrage those sacred, universal principles.
The cotton situation is one of much concern to all the people of this state, but the conditions that exist in that connection are as nothing when compared with this monster that has arisen in Aiken county, and it seems to me that it would be quite appropriate to hold the citizens of South Carolina to hold indignation meetings everywhere and that, if necessary, public subscription should be taken to prosecution for a most searching investigation, in order that the guilty parties might be brought to a speedy trial before an impartial jury.
South Carolina has suffered from earthquake, from storms, from pestilence, from excessive drought and from too much rain and from many other vicissitudes at the hands of Providence, and to all such things the people must how in humble submission, but this thing is different; it was the gesture, delicately visible in diabolical body, of a considerable body of people who trapped under their dirty feet everything that is dear and sacred to all people who pretend to be civilized. South Carolina stands before the world challenged to demonstrate whether she is fit for self-government, or whether there should be designated a protectorate to enforce and maintain the law of the land, which has been established before it condoms, which proceeds upon inquiry, and renders judgment only after a fair trial."
What think the sons and daughters of the men and women of 1861-1865? What think the sons and daughters of the men and women of 1876? What think the descendants of men and women of all time, of everywhere, who have been taught to pray to a righteous God: As we have done unto the least of these, so may it be done unto us?" The time for vacillating has past; the hand of an outragel Creator—a god of Love, but a God likewise of Justice and of Right is slowly but none the less surely moving toward the fatal hour when a reckoning will be demanded!
Let it be admitted that justice seems at time to move with leaden feet in South Carolina; let it be admitted, as it must be, that trials are too often permeated with prejudicial error, necessitating reversal of judgments in criminal cases by the supreme court; let it be admitted that many criminals go unwhip of justice and that the right partially prevails in more instances. What are these things, compared with wholesale murder committed in practically the very presence of the court and with an utter defiance of every theory of all rules of civil society? Crime! murder! outlawry! criminals! murderers! outlawls—since the time when such things were first presented, since such terms were forth in the language of the human race, there has not been a more diabolical and altogether, infamous invasion of human rights.
The civilized world stands by looking on uphast; waiting for the outcome of this horrible thing that has happened in South Carolina.
From A Columbia Attorney
To the Editor of The State;
Assuming that the search warrant was regularly issued, one of the Lowman family should have been convicted of murder. One should have been convicted of assault and battery with intent to kill. The third was apparently ordered by the court to be released.
This net result would have met the requirements of justice. But the mob did not wish the case to be disposed of by the courts through the orderly administration of justice. In order to prevent justice being administered the mob resorted to violence, and three helpless prisoners were cruelly murdered.
The more intelligent and thoughtful citizens of the state, those who have the welfare of South Carolina at heart, and would dispel the clouds of ignorance, prejudice, injustice, lawlessness, and perverse poverty, feel that this triple murder should be punished. But in the light of past experience the idea of punishment seems fantastic. The law officers of Aiken county will probably not even make a sinecure investigation. It is not likely that a single arrest will be made.
In the case of mob murder in South Carolina and in the South generally, the administration of justice is sloppy, careless and inefficient, in fact, justice is suspended. It does not exist. The courts simply do not function. As a result mob murder is encouraged. I say deliberately mob murder is encouraged.
Some are disposed to refer to an incident of this kind as "mob law." There is such thing as "mob law." Let us call it by the right name, mob murder. No one has ever been punished. South Carolina for mob murder. In fact, never in South has a mob murder been tried and convicted of murder.
The serious question now before us is, what shall we do to prevent, or at least discourage, mob murder? We cannot rely on our law officers. They have been generally inefficient. The remedy must be sought elsewhere.
Some years ago I wrote an article suggesting the following as a possible effective remedy: Every voter in primary and general elections should be required to swear that he has never been present at a mob murder, either as a participant or as a voluntary onlooker. Every juror should be required to take oath that he has never taken part in a mob murder. No one who has participated in a mob murder, in any jurisdiction, should be allowed to be a notary public or hold any office in the state or in any town, city or county of the state.
It might be argued that one who would be a party to a mob murder would not hesitate to swear falsely in order to vote, serve as a juror, or hold office. Quite true. But there are so many hungry office-seekers and so many opposing partisan voters, and so much keenness in selecting jurors, a false swarner would most likely be checked up. The modern Cincinnatus drives his plow so near the public Highway he is ever ready to qualify, hat in hand and oath of office ready.
The remedy suggested is a practical one. It would be constantly in the mind of the perennial office-seeker. It would be brought home to the attention of the voter at least every two years. It has the virtue of simplicity and could be enforced without any expense. A simple legislative enactment is all that is required. Why not try it? Certainly nothing better has been suggested, unless it be the Dyer federal anti-lynching law. However, against this suggestion, rayed the mayor with the subtle barrier of view over politician's point of view over solicitous for the alleged interests of the ignorant, prejudiced and shoody-minded voter. It is a short-sighted and mistaken policy. The ignorant and prejudiced need wholesome control and guidance.
It is invincible that a federal anti-lynching law will be enacted unless South Carolina and other Southern states wake up and do something, at least to discourage mob murder. At present we are encouraging, aiding and abetting mob murder to be exempt from prosecution. The common, ordinary murderer is likely to be arrested. Sometimes he is convicted. The mob murderer is really considerably lower in the scale of respectability than the garden variety of ordinary murderer, but he does not realize it. The ordinary murderer has at least the nerve to do it alone and take an awful risk. The mob murderer has not the nerve to take a chance. There is no risk. We discriminate against the common, ordinary murderer by arresting him. We coddle and encourage the mob murderer by notolitely refraining from calling his attention to the fact that his con-

duet is at least the enactment of a federal antilynching law will be another serious blow to the principle of states' rights. We have, lost out in the struggle to maintain the rights and powers of state government largely through carelessness, prejudice, indifference and inefficiency. Unless we prevent, or at least do something to discourage murder, the fair and honest thing will be to admit our inefficiency in state and county government, and humbly ask for federal aid through the federal anti-mob murder law. The enactment of a law will be mortifying in the extreme, yet in justice to those may thereafter be put to death in the South through mob murder, I am for the law. On account of the poverty, ignorance, prejudice and resulting lack of ideals among the masses of our population, we of the South can hardly expect to get very far away from mob murder for many years to come. In the meantime, it is our duty to save lives even if it be at the most expense of our pride. What is pride after all but ignorance and prejudice! A pride based on incompetency is certainly not well founded.
The politicians in the legislature have had opportunity to try to remedy the situation, but have failed to try. We should now acknowledge our incapacity and insist upon the enactment of a federal anti-mob murder law. We have nothing to fear from such a law except justice. Justice for mob murder! Nominally we are in favor of justice for mob murder, but as a practical matter we are not. Cheap talk against mob murder amounts to nothing. To act. It is hard to court our own credibility by mere words, words. It would be a wholesome lesson for the South if we should put aside hypocritical pretense, and join with the federal government in making a real effort to put a stop to mob murder, and thereby save human life, and contribute our bit to human progress.

GASIN THE ST MACH IS DANGEROUS
Recommends Daily Use of Magnesium to Overcome Trouble Caused by Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion
Gas and wind in the stomach accompanied by the full, bloated feeling after ingestion of acid in the presence of excessive bicarbonate acid in the stomach, creating "bad acid indigestion." Acid stains are dangerous because too much acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach, often leading to exacerbated by serious stomach churn. Distressing gas which distracts the stomach and hamper the normal functioning of the internal organs, after a longing to the heart.
It is the worst of folly to market a serious condition or to treat with water. It is the worst of trailing effect on the stomach acid and get from any drugst. a few ounces of Illustrated Magnesium and take a tea or a warm water after eating. This will drive the wind and blast right out of the body sweeten the stomach neutralize it to the point where there is no sourness or pain. Blunt Magnesium in Powder or to form tablets is the most form of magnesium for stomach pain. It is used by thousands of people who take meals with no more than a indication.

How to Ent in the Big Jour "Everybody
How to Enter And Win in the Big Journal and Guide "Everybody Wins" Campaign
The first step in order to share in this mammoth distribution of costly awards is to clip the nomination blank appearing on Page One of this issue and send or bring it to campaign headquarters, The Journal and Guide, 711 East Olney Road, Norfolk, Va. The Nomination Blank entitles you or the person nominated to five thousand votes. Then you will be given a FREE outfit consisting of a special receipt book, sample copies of the paper and full information relative to the campaign as well as assistance that will help you win one of the automobiles or one of the grand prizes.
It requires VOTES to win and VOTES are secured in two ways—first by clipping out the FREE 100 VOTE COUPONS which will appear in each issue of the Journal and Guide. Very soon, however, these voting coupons will be reduced to a lesser number of votes and they must be voted before the expiration date appearing thereon, but the other and faster way to get votes is by getting your friends to pay you for subscriptions to this paper. Old or renewal subscriptions count as many votes as new subscriptions but you will notice THAT MORE VOTES ARE GIVEN FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS TURNED IN NOW THAN LATER. (See schedule for votes below.) So you see that the more subscriptions you secure and the quicker you get them the better your chances will be to land a dandy new automobile. Then too, the first in the field will get the cream of the votes and the subscriptions while those who put off entering will have to take what is left. Be sure that your nomination is in RIGHT AWAY.

NEWS OF INTEREST FROM NORTH CAROLINA TOWNS AND CITIES
PULLMAN CO. IGNOREST THE BROTHERHOOD
Requests For A Wage Conference Get No Official Reply
(Special to Journal and Guide)
New York, Oct. 18—Invoking the aid of the Railway Mediation Board, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters today began an intensive campaign to force recognition from the Pullman company, which has ignored the repeated requests of the Brotherhood for a wage conference.
In a letter addressed to the Railway Mediation Board, A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood, today requested the services of the Board in securing a conference on wages and hours with the Pullman Company, declaring that more than 5,000 porters, or the 51 per cent required by law, belong to the organization. Although railway legislation makes it the duty of the company to meet their employees in a representative union when requested to do so, the Pullman company has refused even to acknowledge the letters of the Brotherhood requesting a conference, according to Brotherhood officials.
The Railway Mediation Board, to which the Brotherhood has applied for aid, was created by the Watson-Parker bill of last session of Congress and received the support, not only of the Transportation Brotherhoods, but the Railway Executives Council, of which the Pullman company is a member. The bill provides that the two parties to a railway labor dispute shall meet each other before the Board if either applies for a conference, adjustment, mediation, and arbitration boards may be set up to settle the dispute. One of the principal demands of the union is its recognition by the Pullman company as the authorized representative of the men, supplanting the Employee Representation 'Plan of the company.

How wonderful it is to be beautiful. To have hair that is long, soft and silky—hair that, when bobbed, falls in graceful curls, charmingly framing the face—hair that scents the air with a dainty, mysterious perfume.
Is it any wonder that such women are beloved?

ASSOCIATION OF TEACHERS DAY NOV.10
The Head Of National Body Announces Annual Call
November 10 is to be observed as Teacher Association Day by the colored school teachers of the country. This is a day set apart by the state organizations of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools for the purpose of increasing membership in both groups. In this connection, Mr. W. A. Robinson, of Raleigh, N. C., president of the national body makes the following announcement:
"To The Negro Teachers of America:
"Through the kindness and cooperation of the Negro Press I am enabled to send you this general message calling upon you to observe November 10, 1926, as teachings, by making a special effort to increase his support and interest in the State and National teacher organizations.
"I wish to commend the courageous and far seeing teachers of the several States who have seen the serious necessity of building up in these States strong teacher organizations and who have in spite of generally small and inadequate salaries given the necessary financial and moral support to these important movements. In most of the States it is still a minority of the Negro teachers who have yet been won to the support of the State organization of teachers but this unselfish minority is struggling to establish professional ideals for the craft and to improve the conditions of teaching and of learning in the State. Without the united help of all the teachers this determined minority is steadily winning successes by which all of the teachers will eventually profit. May I not express a hope that more teachers in every State will assume their moral obligation to their craft and join the ranks of those who are working to make of teaching in colored schools a respectable profession."
"Finally we must realize that no State can advance very far beyond its neighbor States in the opportunities it offers to its Negro citizens. Some of us are proud of the advantages we have won and are winning in our respective communities but until our neighbors are properly considered our own advantages must be limited. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools offers the only medium through which all of the Negro teachers of America and their friends may join hands for mutual help and co-operation and "The Bulletin" is the only Negro teachers journal with more than local significance. Every Negro teacher in America and every friend of Negro education can contribute to the cause of better teaching and learning conditions among Negroes by joining the Na-

TH CARO
SAY AFRICANS HAVE FAITH IN AMERICAN KIN
Max Yergan Points To Effect Of Western Culture
(Special to Journal and Guide)
New York, October 20—Out of an environment that is still largely uncivilized, the natives of South Africa, backed by a growing sentiment on the part of the white residents, are steadily advancing socially and intellectually, according to the picture of the situation just brought back from Cape Province by Max Yergan, graduate of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., and the originator and leader of the work of the Young Men's Christian Association among the natives in South Africa.
Mr. Yergan, who returned on furlough October 9 with his wife and three children after five years of uninterrupted work, has built up brilliant hopes for the future, based partly on the support given by Negroes in the United States and partly on what he calls the "growing sentiment among a certain portion of the white population in South Africa in favor of greater justice for the natives." He will remain in this country until next summer, visiting numerous cities and explaining the magnitude of the work in which he has been engaged. His return will be for another period of five years.
Honor Guest
Last week he was the honor guest at a dinner at the International House, New York, an event which has since been called the most outstanding interracial gathering ever brought together here. Of the 173 persons attending, the company was divided almost equally between white and colored persons of prominence in professional, business, educational, and religious life. Letters of greeting were received from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and others.
The speakers and guests included Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, A. M. E. bishop to Liberia; E. C. Carter, of the Inquiry; Dr. J. L. Peacock, president of Shaw University, Mr. Yergan's Alma Mater Bishop Robert E. Jones, of New Orleans, one of the two colored bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Dr. Richard C. Morse, former general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. International Committee; Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College and the only colored member of the Y. M. C. A. World's Landstant; Professor Mabel Carney, of Teachers' College, Columbia University; and Colonel William Jay Schieffelin, president of the Citizens' Union, New York.
Outline Work
At the dinner, Mr. Yergan outlined his work and his hopes for the future.
"The minds of the Europeans" he said, "is slowly awakening to the magnitude of the African situation. Wealth is pouring into that vast territory, and the world is turning there for the products which Africa yields. This had created a startling economic and social problem.
"By force of circumstances, the natives find themselves living in a civilization which is basically European. Their heritage being from that of the Europeans, they are face to face with the necessity of measuring up to the standards which surround them.
"Of the 7,000,000 people in South Africa, 5,500,000 are colored, and less than 1,000,000 of these have become Christianized. Yet those who have had opportunities of ad-

vancement, intellectually and socially, have proved themselves well able to fulfill the obligation which it imposes. And more and more they are loathing the negroes of America, who unquestionably occupy the highest place of any colored people in the world.
Political Situation
"The people among whom I work are desirous of having a share in politics, but I give as my considered view that they hold no revolutionary ideas. They are somewhat discouraged by the land situation and by the Color Bar Bill, which seeks to keep natives out of certain skilled occupations. They also are protesting certain pronals for removing some of their franchise privileges in the Capp Province. But they do not seek to overturn the existing government. "The situation is being considered with notable moderation by the native leaders, who seem willing to co-operate in every way with the government. It is my belief that in time this spirit of co-operation will meet with a definite response.
Y. M. C. A. Influence
"The Young Men's Christian Association has been responsible for bringing the claim of the natives before the white inhabitants. Out of that has come an increasing inclination to give the situation the study it deserves. One of the brightest lights on the horizon is the system of joint councils, comprising both white and colored people, seeking better interracial relations.
"Our Y. M. C. A. work has been principally among students, who will be the leaders of the next generation. Where formerly we met suspicion and opposition, the doors are now open to us everywhere. More and more the whites are taking up a serious study of the interracial problem which confronts them. I have been asked repeatedly to speak before audiences in every white college in South Africa and in many public meetings.
"We can't turn back. The Africans have faith in the American Negro, and the Europeans are beginning to realize: that we have a real contribution to make."
Through Mr. Yergan's influence, thirty Y. M. C. A's and one teachers' association have been set up, with a total membership of 4,000. Practically all of the other port cities from the colored people in this country. Mr. Yergan's plans include the exection of a Y. M. C. A. building, at a cost of $40,000, and the assignment of other Americans to the work. For the past five years he has been carrying it on alone, with the help of native secretaries.
Achieved
"The physical freedom of the slave for which Kosciuszko plead has been brought about, but the final task of emancipation remains unfinished. Elemental justice needs still to be accorded to this weakest and poorest element of our population in many, of the most fundamental ways, including protection of life, security of property, and the provision of ample educational facilities of every kind. "We are here tonight to celebrate the great work which Kosciuszko did. The great help which he gave us in achieving an independent life, the great interest took in the physical emancipation of the slave, and the great farsightedness which he exercised in providing for their education, we are here to bring again to remembrance.
"May the spirit of devotion to the liberty of all human beings which led Kosciuszko, also lead us, And may we not relinquish our interest in the children of the slaves until they are emancipated from every condition, which restricts their growth and from every incapacity which hinders them from becoming fruitful and useful American citizens."

A BIG DEMAND FOR PICKERS OF COTTON
Boll Is Unpicked And Wasting, State The League Reports
Bulletin No. 7 of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment conditions throughout the country as follows:
The inordinate exodus of Negroes from the South in recent years is again being felt in the cotton areas of Arkansas, Texas, and Missouri. The universal movement to the cotton fields, though heavy and continuous does not supply the demand. The present wage of $1.50 per hundred pounds and board—the average wage paid throughout Missouri—will doubtless be increased to secure a sufficient supply. There are reports of Negro organizations in Arkansas where cotton stands unpicked and wasting. Agents from several organizations have been seeking the return of Negro families from Chicago. Though excursions are run frequently to encourage the movement, scant success has attended the effort. The cotton seed oil mills of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, have added fifty colored workers to their regular force.
Movement to Florida From parts of Georgia and South Carolina large numbers of Negroes went to Florida to rebuild the regions devastated by the recent hurricane.
Labor Unions
A growing sentiment within the ranks of organized labor to organize Negro workers is noticed in many sections of the country. In Philadelphia where 2500 tobacco workers are employed, efforts are being made to secure their membership. In Hot Springs, Arkansas, it is reported that the change in union sentiment toward Negroes is "noticeable among bricklayers." In Columbia, S. C., more Negro plumbers and electricians are at work. These are two trades where rigid union restrictions have greatly interfered with the granting of licenses as well as employment of Negroes. You enjoy coloration picture operators, who waged a prolonged fight to secure union recognition, are picketing a Harlem theater as a protest against the theatre management's employment of non-union operators in its other picture houses. In Chicago an electrical workers' union has made concessions to colored electricians who seldom, if ever, enjoy full union privileges.
Scattered Reports
Reports from our advisors in various parts of the country indicate no noticeable fluctuations. In cities in which there are usually reportable incidents there appear to be no changes affecting colored workers. The exceptions are New York City, in the Boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. In Manhattan a new laundry gave employment to girls, a bookkeeper, and a solicitor. A publishing house and a large laboratory gave employment to their first colored office boys. From Manhattan also comes the report - without stated reason of the replacement of colored waitresses by white, and in Brooklyn a department store discontinued the use of colored girls
as elevator operators because of irregular attendance at work. A Brooklyn factory gave employment to five young men, graduates to ten to eleven employed except as porters and a position for a civil engineer has been found with a reliable concern.
We are informed of a transfer to Fort Wayne, Indiana, from AXon, Ohio, of a force of thirty-five foundry workers.

In his answer to her suit, Mr. Brown denies that he failed to provide for his family. He also squabbles over money matters and attributes them "to the extravagant tastes and notions" of his wife.
The only times he remained from her at night, he claims, were when he was substituting at work, or following his avocation as a musician. He alleges that his wife assaulted him on April 17, last, throwing a couple of glass dishes, a chair and a broom at him and, with a milk bottle bottle, cutting his head so severely that he had to have hospital treatment.
He returned from the hospital, he says, with two police officers for the purpose of getting his clothing and personal effects and found himself locked out.
His wife receives $45 a month from the rental of rooms from the house which she now occupies and which is in her name, he states. She is able-bodied, about 26 years of age, is amply capable of work and declares. Her mother, he says, is about 55 years of age, lives with his wife, is healthy and able-bodied and is willing to care for the children.

ELK GRAND OFFICER GUEST OF ORPHAN HOME NEXT SUNDAY
The annual meeting of the Weaver Orphan Home, Hampton, will be held Sunday, October 24, at Carver Memorial Presbyterian Church in Newport News at 3:00 o'clock and at the Queen Street Baptist Church, Hampton, at 7:30 o'clock p. m.
Rev. George W. Avant, grand chapel in the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World will be the special guest of this meeting and will define an address.
In announcing the meeting those in charge of the Home say: "Let us vally together to make this a more wonderful occasion than our meetings of last year. All churches, lodges, and clubs are urged to appoint their delegates, and make their appropriation, that they may be ready when the hour arrives."
It will be remembered that at the first meeting of this sort held last year more than $1,700 was raised for the Home by the people of Newport News and Hampton, and the meetings were most inspirational and informative. At that time Weaver Orphan House was carrying an indebtedness aggregating $5,000 and the appeal was made to the public to lift this indebtedness in order that the Home might carry on its work of caring for orphans without this embarrassing obligation. At the present time there is only $1,800 of that indebtedness remaining, which it is hoped to remove at the meeting next Sunday. In connection with the coming of Grand Chaplain Avant the Elks of Newport News, Phoebus and Hampton are taking it upon themselves to prepare for him a royal

SOUTH CAROLINA
PUBLIC CONDEMN
THE AIKEN AFFAIR
Columbia, S.C. G. O. Oct. That "everything possible will be done to bring to justice the members of the Aiken mob" was the assurance given this week to a representative of the State Inter-racial Committee by Governor Thomas G. McLead, "am giving the matter my constant attention," continued the governor, "and will make a thorough investigation. I feel assured that something can be done and is going to be done." The Lynching, which was the first in this State in two years, is meeting with universal condemnation as part of leading people, business bodies, and the newspapers. The Charlesham Chamber of Commerce immediately passed the following resolutions:
"Resolved, that mob violence cannot be excused under any circumstances; that the lynching of the three Negroes in Aiken County is of an exceptionally brutal and disgraceful character, involving the murder of a woman, and of a man just pronounced 'not guilty' by a judge in this State. "That such occurrences not only outrage the laws of God and man, but bring shame and disgrace to the State and County involved. "That all good citizens should strive to create a strong public sentiment which will protect our State from such tragedies, and cause public officials, State and County, to feel that no measures taken can be too strong to bring the criminals in such cases to the bar of justice."
Practically every daily paper in the State has denounced the affair in unmeasured terms and is demanding that members of the mob be apprehended and brought to justice. In this connection the Columbia State says: "Some of them can be discovered. They can be apprehended, indicted and tried. They can be apprehended, indicted and tried. County where their friends or fellow-murders would not get on the jury." "Nothing short of actual arrests will convince the public that there has been an honest effort to make an example of these mob murders," says the Sumter Item. "The governor and other authorities are faced with a duty that they cannot shirk." On this point the Charleston Post says: "Arrests and prosecutors should be made and nothing short of such will suffice. If there is to be none of these, at least there should be no pretenses. Gestures should be omitted."
The Charleston Post says: "South Carolina has been free, for a long time, of the disgrace of mob vengeance, but this triple killing in Aiken County offsets the good record and cannot fail to bring condemnation upon the State and depression upon all right-minded among its citizenry." Of the mob, the Spartanburg Herald says: "There is a great company of men on in Aiken and they have they are murderers. And knowing that, they have destroyed their own self respect. They will live and die knowing full well that they are not worthy to associate with their wives and children, and are entitled to no respect from decent people. They have fixed their own penalty."
Enters French Higher Normal School At 50
(Dr The Associated Negro Press)
Paris. Oct. 13 - Louis Blanche, who is a native of the island of Guadalupe, boasts today of being the first Negro pupil to be admitted to the higher normal school. He is fifty years old, and admits that from early boyhood he has desired to enter this school, although he was charged with being a truant while a young lad. It is said that his father, who was a public school teacher, urged him on by telling him that young Blanche's duty was on behalf of other Negroes, less gifted either by native ability, or fortune, to demonstrate the intellectual equality of races. He therefore, decided that he would never let up in work until he won the right sit in the lecture rooms through which have passed most of the greatest minds of France during the last century.

MUSICIANS IN GREAT BENEFIT ENTERTAINMENT
Indianapolis Choruses $ ^{1} $ Show Marked Improvement in the Local Music Situation.
The progress that has been made in the last few years by the colored musicians of Indianapolis was demonstrated Thursday night at the Cadle tabernacle, where a musical revue and 'jubilee, composed largely of local talent, was given for the benefit of the Colored Orphans' Home Band. The local musicians were assisted by Carl Diton, of Philadelphia, president of the National Association of Negro musicians, and a talented and versatile performer.
The program for the evening was an ambitious one, including many types of musical entertainment. Mr. Diton himself is a baritone, pianist, organist, composer and conductor. He appeared Thursday night in his various capacities, the piano number, the overture from "Tannhauser," being the most appreciated. His voice is a rich baritone and found its deepest melody in Rachmaninov's "In the Silence of the Night." His finest organ number was his own arrangement of the spiritual, "Swing Low Sweet Charlott." Mr. Diton is, moreover, a sprightly and under his guidance the combined choirs of several Negra churches attained a moving, splendidly coordinated brilliance in their offering of "Listen to the Lambs."
The feature of the local group of musicians was the Y. M. C. A. Quartet. These men have excellent voices, which blend into unusual tenor beauty. Whether in Tostil's "Goodbye," or the spiritual, "Nobody Knows the Trouble I See," or in simpler numbers, their singing gives the impression of Dickness; columnists and other local musicians who were exceptionally pleasing were Millard Burwell, tenor; Miss Lena Kira Lewis, coloratura soprano, this Jolly Four Quartet, a group of women, and Mrs. Susie Dickens, soloist with the Colored Orphans' Home Band, which in spite of the brief period of its organization gave an excellent program under the direction of Mr. Diton, who acted as guest conductor.

The Sunday school was up to the standard Sunday morning and the lesson was well taught. Every day the reverence be led by Rev. Mr. Hoggard. At 12:15 PM, Hoggard preached a very interesting sermon from 2nd Peter 3:18. At night Rev. John Baker preached a very stirring sermon from text, John 9:11. At 4:25 p. m., Mr. John T. Capehart jr., addressed a very creditable audience on the sub: "We Should Not Discuss Other People's Faults Too Frequently." This subject Mr. Capehart handled with care and thought. He proved to his heavens that discussing other people's faults is what interests him, and so the discussion is centered upon and when a person or a beast becomes intensely angry some evil of harmful deed is sure to be done. He urged that instead of rebuking and discussing the faults of others, talk about the good things that the people do and encourage them to do more good, and by so doing that we all will learn and see our own mistakes and will correct them ourselves.

Free Country: One in which 100 people have 100 different ideas of what constitutes wickedness.
Samuel Vauclain says that he has been too busy to spend the money he has saved. He has missed some experience.
These topcoat days bring thoughts of winter, mornings on the farm when the snow lay a foot deep on the level and breakfast in the cozy warmth of the kitchen beside the crackling wood range was before daylight. Lo, the mellow lamplight, the frosted windows, the savory aroma of coffee coming to a boll, music of sputtering of grease and batter on hot griddle irons—and buckwheat cakes by the stack!
Nothing else quite sticks to the ribs like the old-fashioned buckwheat griddle cakes. They were filling, but then life in the open midst the rigors of winter is productive of cavities requiring an unbelievable amount of filling.
Maybe man couldake a better pancake than the buckwheat variety, but up to now he hasn't, which fact casts the shadow of a doubt on the possibility. Given the right kind of batter, a smoking hot griddle, and the result is a work of art, the color of which is a kind of light mahogany with bird's eye maple effect. When these are taken with bricks of butter, dissolving like icebergs in a tropic sea, the thickest of maple syrup or sorghum poured copiously over the steaming-hot stack—surely they make that proverbial dish "fit for a king." Here is ecstasy that not even Omar with his "jue" and "thou" ever knew, though it is a common heritage of rural America and of those city cousins with a tie still binding them to an old-fashioned home "back on the farm."
The morning tells the intelligent man many things. Generally, it rules his day. If it starts wrong for him, the day is spoiled. A tired feeling or a headache in the morning tells him he is unwell or is burning the candle at both ends. A dislike, on the part of a healthy man, for beginning the work of the day is usually a sure indication he is not in the right physical and mental condition or not in the right place. There is something radically wrong with the habits, health or occupation of the worker who is not eager to tackle the problems and tasks of the day.
An honest man is entitled to happiness in his work. It is the one sure sign that he has found his true vocation. Love for one's work is as natural as love for one's family. Without it few succeed and none contented.
Business brings joy to more people than any other occupation because it comes nearest to being universal. The business man is a builder in a larger sense than the labour and tradesman, and, while socially he is on the same plane with the professional man, his vocation does not require the long and costly preparation that is indispensable to the profession. Business is the school of the business man, but its curriculum is not mastered by all who essay it.
Communities owe more than they sometime realize to that little inner circle of merchants, manufacturerers and other business men who are progressive because they love their work and by their progressiveness cause the community to grow and prosper.
To every person of refined sensibilities, white as well as colored, that is a very pleasing note struck by the Newport News Daily Press in its editorial, "Politeness to the Colored Race" reprinted in another column on this page. It comes as a timely reminder to the conscienceless jester in public print that so far as persons of respectability and good taste are concerned the jest is on the author whose offensive stuff at once marks him as a person of rather stunted sensibilities himself. His bizarre attempts at burlesque at the expense of the feelings of a particular race are always made at the expense of his own reputation in the regard of refined people of either race. Honest and sincere self-respect carries with it a keen sense of respect for the feelings of others, and needless affront to the feelings of other people reacts to lower esteem of the offender regardless of his position. The Daily Press renders a fine service toward interracial goodwill by calling attention to this fact for which intelligent Negroes feel especially grateful.
Now having given expression to such a splendid attitude, the Daily Press might give emphasis to its own point by following the lead of numerous other outstanding newspapers and capitalize the 'N' in spelling the word "Negro." To intelligent Ne-

"On account of the poverty, ignorance, prejudice and resulting lack of ideals, we of the South can hardly expect to get very far from mob murder for many years to come. . . . It would be a wholesome lesson for the South if we should put aside hypocritical pretense, and join with the federal government in making a real effort to put a stop to mob murder, and thereby save human life, and contribute our bit to human progress.

Here are two Southerners of widely separated sections confessing with marked similarity and candor what it appears they feel to be the real problem of the South. Taking their remarks together do they not furnish food for profound thought? And it is suspected that what these men have candidly expressed inks in the minds of hundreds of other Southerners of equal prominence. The question then boils down to this pungent fact: That lynching in the South is wound up in the spiritual backwardness of the section; that until there is an awakening of the ideals of its masses the South alone cannot hope to cope with the situation. This fact should serve to convince the Southern press that it must continue, as it is now doing, to bear the brunt of the fight against the lynching monstrosity. Through a vigorous press imbued with the ideals of righteousness, ignorance, superstition and bigotry must eventually give way.
But it requires a long time to inspire ideals into men behind whom there are generations of crassness. In the meantime stringently enforced laws are means to that end, when the lack of such ideals is expressed in crimes repugnant to the great body of orderly society. Here is where federal antilynching legislation, as suggested by Mr. Gibbes, might help to hold the unidealistic hill-billies' in check while the slow process of enlightenment, education and spiritual ideals is making over their souls.

Who has not witnessed similar refreshings in all of life? A community is steeped in utter selfishness. The very members thereof who have most to offer give next to nothing toward anything other than that which ministers to themselves. Its physicians pastors, attorneys, teachers, business men and women, easy living housewives—all are busy, too busy succeeding, to give the community any of their time or energy and but very little of their money. Listening at their shameless alibis for persistently holding aloof from human helpfulness and beholding their ever increasing wealth as they selfishly amass, one is well nigh brought to despair. Then comes into the community some young business woman or an unusual teacher or a young professional man whom the desire for luxuries cannot bribe, and the very atmosphere changes.
One comes to feel all over again that selfishlove, self-sacrificing love, is not dead. This young Greatheart seems to see every neglected child as his, every dark tencer as his home, every helpless traveler as his needy friend, every unfortunate girl as his own sister. So he works with a will in all community endeavors for good. The Travelers' Aid, the Y. W. C. A., the Maternity Ward, the Old Folks' Home, the Boys' Club, the Community Work for the Blind, the private kindergarten, the Catholic Day School and Children's Bands, the Hospitals and Founding Homes, the Church of Jesus Christ, all have in him a friend and fellowworker. Knowing that all such community endeavors are working for a better city, a healthier, happier, more contented citizenship, an equalization of opportunity and privilege for all who aspire, he forgets himself and his needs in loving labors for the poor, the illiterate and the underprivileged.
Even those who have not his spirit are refreshed to see its incarnation in him. Like perfume in a stuffy coach on a sultry day in Texas, an unselfish life blesses and helps an otherwise despicable community.

Spirit of The Press
Politeness to the Colored Race
From the (Newport News) Daily Press
The following paragraph is clipped from a Virginia newspaper:
"A negro in Pittsburgh won a parole for his youngest son when he told the court 'this is the best of my 35 children.' The flower of this large flock pleaded guilty to larceny. If this theft involved a chicken roost, it is not difficult to understand the father's high estimation of his son."
It is the first time in many years that we have seen that stale jest in print, and we had hoped that it was a thing of the past. Doubtless the scribbler who wrote the paragraph above quoted meant no offense, but all such jests naturally are offensive to honest and respectable colored people, for they are a slur at the race, and there is nothing funny in a jest that gives offense. Real politeness is consideration for the feelings of others, and colored people are as much entitled as any other people to that sort of consideration. There is no excuse for referring to them as "niggers," or even as "darkies"; no excuse for employing any term of designation which is derogatory to the race or offensive to colored men and women of refined sensibilities. There is no color line in manners.

It is the first time in many years that we have seen that stale jes in print, and we had hoped that it was a thing of the past. Doubtless the scribler who wrote the paragraph above quoted meant no offense, but all such jesst naturally are offensive to honest, and respectable colored people, for they are a slur at the race, and there is nothing funny in a jesst that gives offense. Real politeness is consideration for the feelings of others, and colored people are as much entitled as any other people to that sort of consideration. There is no excuse for referring to them as "niggers," or even as "darkies"; no excuse for employing any term of designation which is derogatory to the race or offensive to colored men and women of refined sensibilities. There is no color line in manners.
Good Report of Negroes
From The (New York) Herald-Tribune
The progress of Tuskegee Institute may be taken as dependable evidence of Negro advancement. The institute, working at its maximum capacity, is obliged to turn away many applicants. While it can take care of about 1,800 boarding students the number of those who would like to study for the regular term approaches 3,000.
Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, suggests that the heavy enrollment reflects the steady improvement in economic conditions among Negroes since the war. "Parents are increasingly able," he finds, "to provide educational facilities for their children.

The progress of Tuskegee Institute may be taken as dependable evidence of Negro advancement. The institute, working at its maximum capacity, is obliged to turn away many applicants. While it can take care of about 1,800 boarding students the number of those who would like to study for the regular term approach has 3,000. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, suggests that the heavy enrollment reflects the steady improvement in economic conditions among Negroes since the war. "Parents are increasingly able," he finds, "to provide educational facilities for their children."
With the pressure on its facilities Tuskegee has raised the standard of qualifications for entrance. It has also established new college courses, in response, it is interesting to note, to the demand from public officials of Alabama and other Southern states for college trained teachers in the public schools. Negroes, themselves, are assuming a larger share than formerly in the cost of educating their children. In the last report of the Rosenwald Fund it appears that out of $11,500,000 raised for school improvement in rural districts, they contributed $2,500,000 over and above their share of the public funds derived through taxation. Dr. Moton's annual report may well be read as an offset to the depressing news of lynchings. There was never a time, he is confident when interest in the welfare of the Negro was more widespread and substantial than it is now.
A Poem A Week
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY
In speaking of a person's faults,
Pray don't forget your own:
Remember those with houses of glass,
Should seldom throw a stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
Tis better we commence at home,
And at that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know this world is wide.
Some have their faults, and who has not?
The old as well as the young;
Perhaps we may for ought we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of a better plan,
And I find it works full well
To try my own defect cure
Before of others tell.
And though I sometimes hope to be
No worse than what I know,
My own shortcomings bid me jet
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we commence
to slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one may do,
To those who little know.
Remember curses, sometimes like
Our chickens, "roost at home":
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our faults.

BEST SERMONS 1926. Edited by Joseph Fort Newton. Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York. $2.50.
A published sermon is always incomplete, because one-half the sermon is missing, the personality of the preacher. For this reason many may seem dull which when delivered are stimulating.
Dr. Newton's choice is valuable for at least three reasons, they give us the trend of present day preaching, they furnish ideas to those who are searching for more than their minds may be able to evolve, and they are instructive and readable for laymen.
It can be safely said, after reading Dr. Fosdick, Dr. Kirk, Dr. Coffin, Bishop Morris and Bishop Brent that the emphasis is at last being placed where it rightly belongs, on the Person, Jesus Christ. This is encouraging.
Especially is Dr. Newton to be commended for his selection from Negro preachers. The Negro is due this recognition and Dr. Johns shows himself a good representative. His is one of the few sermons which follows a distinct outline and his treatment comes from the text, which cannot be said for all sermons. Some use texts as we do a hatrack.
There are, of course, some outstanding sermons. Dr. Frostick's "Christianity And War," which rightly has first place; Dr. Brown's "Where Do We Go From Here?" which is original and stimulating, we do not wonder that Dr. Brown has such a great influence upon Yale graduates. Dr. Kirk's "Can We Be Sure of God?" goes to the heart of the matter when he says that it depends upon the disposition; Bishop Bront's "The Authority of Christ." These stand out. There are others which are good. Canon Prichard's "The Law of God"; Dr. Sperry's "The Great Temptation; Bishop Morris's "The Commanding Cortitude" and Dr Coffin's "Everybody's Christ."
Some are disappointing. Dr. Machen's "Prophets False and True" gives a view of prophets to which we cannot subscribe; Bishop Stire's "Ye Shall Live" gives the accepted basis for imortality, but the treatment is ordinary; Dr. Harrison's "The Prophet Jonah" presents the modern view of Jonah, but there is nothing stimulating. Preachers who place "Best Sermons 1926" in their library will have a good treasure out of which to bring "things new and old." —B. W. HARRIS

Dear, Sir:
Feg Murray, the great athletic authority, says in his sayings: "Isn't it queer how so many of these colored college football games have to be called on account of darkness!" Of course this is a bit of sarcasm, but carries with it a suggestion that there are colored college games, and I wonder why it is, that every game indulged in by white schools from every hog path have the summary of their contests appear in the white papers? Feg Murray has discovered that colored teams play. Why is it that millions of colored readers of white papers never learn of the results of colored teams? It seems that in fairness to colored people of the country, the results of f.games played by colored teams should receive a little space. If a lynching of a Ne-

Causes For The Decline Of Lynching

There has been a gradual and steady decline in the number of reported lynchings for the past twenty five years. The Negro Year Book contains the record from 1885 down to 1924. The number rose from 78 in 1885 to 155 in 1892, from which maximum it has steadily declined to 16 in 1924. Notwithstanding certain unaccountable irregularities in the behavior of the figures, the downward tendency has been unmistakable.
The ascribed causes of lynching are listed as, homicide, felonious assault, rape, attempt at rape, robbery and theft, insult to white persons, and other causes. The cause of decline is probably not due to the cessation of the provocative offenses. The casual offenses have certainly not ceased to the extent that lynching has diminished. The recorded number was only one tenth as great in nineteen twenty four as it was twenty years ago. It is inconceivable that any form of crime has diminished with this degree of rapidity.
These figures disclose that there is no traccable connection between the frequency of lynching and national politics. There used to be a feeling, some traces of which still linger, that the triumph of the Democratic party in national affairs emboldened the Southern states to a more reckless handling of the Negro who thus became victim of the national, as well as the local Southern sentiment. But this hypothesis is plainly refuted by lynching statistics. Counting the number of lynchings by decades, we find that 323 occurred under Cleveland's first administration, 415 under McKinley, 362 under Rosevelt's first administration, 278 under his second term, 261 under Taft, 204 under Wilson's first administration, 235 under his second term, 155 under the Harding-Coolidge quadrennium, and 20 under the first year of the present administration. There is no way to read any political significance in these figures.
Of a total of 3165 Negroes lynched during the forty years, 1932 occurred under Republican rule of twenty four years, and 1233, under sixteen years of Democratic rule. The average annual number of lynchings under Republican administrations was 80, against 77 under Democratic administrations.

The general decline is undoubtedly due in large part to the accumulative effect of public condemnation. From the first the public press and other agencies of public opinion have strongly denounced the practice and condemned the perpetuation wherever it occurred. Occasionally some rash intemperate voice would be heard condoning, if not justifying the outrage, but none were to be found so hold or so brazen as to give it outright aproval. The immediate effect of this bombardment of the public conscience was not immediately apparent. The plea did not always register on the conscience of those who perpetuated the legal outrage, it did not always reach them, who in many instances were too far removed from the influence of the press or enlightened public opinion. But with time this appeal to reason and conscience seems to have penetrated to the less enlightened portions of the element which does the lynching.
The Eighteenth Amendment has undoubtedly contributed as much or more than any other single influence to the results over which we all rejoice. The wide open saloon promoted friction and strife between the races. The free access to alcoholic beverage heated the baser passion of the baser element of both races. The white mob under the delirium of liquor was ready to lynch any Negro on the slightest provocation. The removal of the saloon takes away the provocation, both of provoking crimes on the one hand, and condemn punishment on the other. Just before the Eighteenth
gro occurred, the papers everywhere would report it, and I am convinced that because of the concerted effort on the part of press representatives, to minimize the good things done by Negroes, that this "silent conspiracy" exists. I trust that Mr. Murray has at least through his sarcastic utterance, made it possible for the Negro to get a small recognition from the American press.
Very truly,

Ex-Athlete and lover of fair play.
Commenting on the steady and gradual decline of lynching in the past twenty-five years, Dr. Kelly Miller, sees no relation between this crime and national politics. "There used to be a feeling," continues Dr. Miller, "Some traces of which still linger, that the triumph of the Democratic president as a politics unfolded the south states to a more reckless handling of the Negro who thus became a victim of national as well as local sentiment. But this hypothesis is, plainly refuted by lynching statistics"
Amendment, when the Negroes were crowding into the North in unprecedented numbers, the frequency of racial outbreaks was alarming. We had begun to fear that the field of racial hatred and passion had been shifted from the South. to the North. Race riot are rife. The whole nation became apprehensive. It was feared that the outbreaks of Chicago, Washington, East Et. Louis, Omaha and elsewhere would spread to the whole nation. This would in all likelihood have been the evil fate of the 'Northern migrant had the wide open saloon continued in operation. It is not conceivable that the peace and harmony between the races, and within the Negro race in dense Negro sections of our large cities would or could prevail in the midst of the evil excitations and debasing influences of free flowing alcohol. One may move about for days in Harlem, or in corresponding sections of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit or Chicago without the slightest discernment of any indication of racial clashing. In whatever other respects prohibition may have failed, it certainly has reduced interracial conflict which is clearly registered in the reduced rate of lynching.
The agitation conducted mainly by the Association for the Advancement of Colored People culminating in the attempt to push the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill through Congress has had a residuum of good effect. It has placed upon the public records the facts of lynching which make unpleasant reading for the American who loves his country. This propaganda has also published the facts in
THE PROFESSOR
A much abused word among us indeed. Professor, "fesser," "fess," "perfesser," and "suffesser"—these are some of the pronunciation commonly used. It is enough to mispronounce words, but in this case the incorrect pronunciation is more excusable than the loose and indiscriminate application of the word. And so carelessly and inappropriately is the word used that the few who are entitled to the distinction it gives when properly used prefer the plain but honorable "Mr." Funk and Wagnallis College Standard Dictionary defines a professor as "a public teacher of the highest grade in a university or college, or in an institution where professional or technical studies are pursued; usually an officer holding a chair, and in special charge of some particular branch of higher education."
Let us say that Mr. Smith gets hold of a good moving picture machine and some excellent reels. Having these, if he can manipulate his machine skillfully, and if there is need or excuse for talk, he can say the proper thing in good English, why should he prefix the word Professor to his name? What magic or efficacy has it in these days? If his apparatus, and films are good, if he conducts his entertainment capably, if he deals fairly with the church, lodge or school with which he had a contract, is the title professor necessary?
Here's let us say, a young man who can dance beautifully and in addition can teach it; and here's a young man who can play the saxophone extremely well and teaches others how to play it. Why should they be Prof. this Prof. that? What does "professor" add to their ability, reputation, earning and pleasure-giving power. Why should they lug about with them or have imposed on them useless baggage to which they are not entitled and upon which they do not have to depend for their living or success?
Several weeks' ago there came to Louisville a young white man to teach "the Charleston." He knew the dance it and the art of teaching it. He was a drawing card. But he was just Gene La Verne. Never once was he advertised or written up as Prof. La Verne.
This week there is in the city a world famous man. His college education has been supplemented by years of travel, ex-

foreign lands which enables European statesmen to point the finger of scorn at America whenever this country essays to play the roll of moral monitor over their conduct. This gives the United States an evil reputation in the eyes of the world and causes our statesmen and publicists to animadvert to the evil from whose stigma the nation feels so keenly. All of which has its reflex effect upon public opinion which in turn influences the conduct even of the lynchers. This propaganda has made the South keenly conscious of the evil reputation which the practice of lynching had fastened on that section. No state or section of state wishes to be held up to the world as the land of lynchers. Even if the effect has not penetrated to the ultimate lyncher, it has made the officers of the law and those in charge of culprits more careful to see that the law shall take its regular course. Sheriffs do not allow themselves to do so easily overpowered, with assured immunity.
...
The facts of lynching are not absolutely accurate. They have been gathered chiefly by Tuskager Institute and by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They have had to rely upon newspaper clippings which may be inadequate and unreliable. We must also moderate our jubilation by the thought that lynchings occurring in out of way places might not be reported in the general press. The local press agent can easily suppress the report, if he is jealous of the good name of the community.
It is very interesting to note that the number of lynchings of white persons has decreased at practically the same rate and extent as that of Negroes. The number had fallen from 100 in 1892 to 4 in 1924. The same or similar cases having been operating in both instances. The epl practice as a whole is rapidly diminishing and is destined to speedy or ultimate extinction. Like other evil practices, it will run its course and pass away. In the meantime it is incumbent upon all good citizens to hasten by every means within his power a consummation so devoutly to be wished.
ploration, and contact with the best people. Yet this man is not "Professor" but just plain Ronald Amundsen. And so we might multiply illustrations drawn from other fields of human endeavor to show how much this title is misused and abused without the remotest need therefor.
In the absence of a special title, Mr. is good and honorable. Hundreds have gone with it to heights which will never be reached by many who have merited or assumed or accepted the title "professor."
Let us as a people give unto every man his due; but let us in the meanwhile discontinue the indiscriminate assumption and application of "professor."
Health and Closed Windows
By HELENA LORENZ WILLIAMS
The season of closed windows
is upon us, and with it the season
of coughs and colds. There
appears to be a relationship between
the two, for the National
Tuberculosis Association states
that "fresh outdoor air and well
ventilated rooms help to build
up resistance against disease."
As it is generally known nowa
days, one of the principal cause
of colds is lowered physical
resistance, and consequently it be
hooves us to furnish our lungs
with fresh air day and night.
Few lungs are allowed this luxury,
although fresh air is the cheapest, medicine known.
Fresh air does not necessarily mean cold air, for a room can be comfortably heated and yet be perfectly healthful. The elements that make indoor air fresh, so experts tell us, are temperature not above 68 to 70 degrees, plus movability, humidity and variability. Air that is not changed from time to time cannot be called fresh. Too many people still close their windows with the first crisp autumn breeze and do not open them again until the house is in the threes of spring cleaning. Such air in a room that has no connection with outward leading doors, and that becomes dry through and overheating is not healthful. The freshest air of all is outdoor air, because the combination of movability, variability, humidity and temperature is present there to the most perfect degree.
