NEGROES GIVE $2,700,000 YEARLY FOR EDUCATION POLYGAMY LEGALIZED. Paris, France.—To make sure that the birth rate shall not decline in the colonies, the government has legalized polygamy in the Senegal, West Africa of President Harding. Washington, Feb. 17—Bingham General Russell of the Marine Corps has been sent to Hayti to investigate conditions as the personal representative polygamy in the Senegal, West Africa of President Harding. Take Firm Stand for Standard of Morals, for Prosecution of the Women of All Races, and Suppression of Mob Violence. OPPOSE OFFENSIVE NAMES Women Pledge Themselves to Cultivate Christian Attitude of Mind in Daily Contact to Remove the Grounds of Resentment. (Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 17.—Declaring that unless lawlessness and mob violence can be checked, the very foundation of our civilization is threatened, a large company of representative Tennessee women, white, from all sections of the state, in session at McKendree church here last Thursday, pledged themselves to cultivate a Christian attitude with regard to inter-racial questions and organized the woman's section of the Tennessee Inter-Racial Committee. The meeting which was called by Mrs. Luke C. Johnson of Atlanta, representing the Southern Commission, was attended by about seventy-five women prominent in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the south. Mrs. Johnson presided and addresses were made by Rev. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Bishop Trop Beatty of Tennessee, Mrs. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee, Ala., Dr. W. D. Weatherford of Southern College, Prof. L. M. Faverord of Louisiana, and Prof. S. L. Smith of Nashville. Dr. Alexander, who is the Executive Secretary of the Inter-Racial Commission, outlined its genesis and purpose, and made a strong appeal for the application of Christian principles in inter-racial relations, instead of leaving the whole question alone, or seeking to solve it by force. Mrs. Moton, wife of Major R. R. Moton, head of Tuskegee Institute, made a brief talk, dignified and in fine spirit, expressing confidence in the friendship and co-operation of the white race and pleading for the sympathy and help of the white women of the South in the development of better Negro homes and schools. Among the declarations of the meeting were these: "We appreciate the chivalry of white men, but deplore the fact that a Colored man must suffer violence in seeking the protection of the women of their race. "Justice can never be realized until there is a single standard of morals for all, and a sentiment for the equal protection of all women. "We therefore pledge ourselves to cultivate the Christian attitude of mind in every day contacts by discouraging the use of those terms both in conversation and in the press that arouse resentment and convey a sense of inferiority or contempt; by using our influence against rudeness on the part of all public officials, and employees of public utilities; by standing for justice and opportunity and the fullest possible development to which every individual of the race can attain." WAYCROSS, business Waycross, Ga., Feb. 17. This town has been upset by notices signed "K. K. K.", posted on business places in the colored section recently. Colored proprietors are warned to leave town by a certain date. Several weeks ago a Negro hotel was burned and three persons lost their lives in the fire. It is alleged that a notice to close up and move out had been posted upon the building several days before the fire. Recently a Negro motion picture show was completely destroyed by fire after several warnings had been found on the building. STARTS SECOND TERM. Trenton, N. J., Feb. 17.—With the opening of the annual session of the New Jersey Legislature, Dr. W. G. Alexander, first member of the race to be elected as a representative of that body, has started upon his second term. He was given some very important committee assignments. He was made chairman of the Committee on Bill Revision, and chairman of the Committee on Industrial School for Colored Youths, Bordentown. He is also a member of the Committee on Social Welfare, the Committee on Public Health and the Committee on State Village for Epileptics. POLYGAMY LEGALIZED. THE MONITOR MEXIA, TEXAS, BECOMES "LIQUID GOLD" LAND Former Slaves and Their Descendants Awake to Find Themselves Wealthy Mexia, Texas, Feb. 8. "Big Slim" Simmons of Huston, may become the Crippled Croesus of the "Golden Lane" "Big Slim" drifted into the Mexia oil fields the early part of the month with his gang of colored men and announced he was ready to start drilling. Big Slim has his own company. They control a ten acre lease which they obtained from Mrs. M. B. Kemp, a white woman. "No white man can own an interest in my company," Simmons decreed. Simmons, a powerful dark-skinned man, lost a leg in a railroad accident several years ago. He walks with a crutch. Although "Big Slim" will be the first colored man to drill for oil in the "Golden Lane," the peculiar fact is that this liquid gold land was owned by Negroes when oil was first discovered. Andy Eckels, grocery store proprietor, former slave, who owns a half block west of Mexia, has consistently refused to sell. "I'll take $1,000,000 for my land," is his stock reply to all offers. "I'm contented here. There ain't goin' to be no tent nor oil well to dirty up my back yard." FIVE MILLION FOR HOWARD. Washington, Feb. 17.—At their semi- annual meeting Howard University trustees authorized a drive for $5,000. 000 endowment. Dr. M. O. Dumas of this city was elected a trustee. Alumni present included A. O. Reid and W. L. Fitzgerald of Baltimore. REOLUTION CALLS FOR NEGRO STATE ON DARK CONTINENT Southerns Ask President And Congress to Buy Land in Africa ESTABLISH GREAT REPUBLIC Jackson, Miss., Feb. 17.—Senator McCallum has just introduced in the State Senate in session here, a concurrent resolution providing for the Legislature of Mississippi to memorize the President of the United States and the National Congress to secure by treaty, by purchase or other negotiation, sufficient territory in Africa to make a suitable and final home for the American Negro where, under the tutelage of the American government, he can develop for himself a great republic, to become in time a free and sovereign state and take its place at the council board of the nations of the world. Senator McCallum proposes to use such part of the world war debt as may be necessary to acquire such territorial possessions to the end that America shall become a nation of one blood as it is in spirit, and as he says, "To give the American Negro opportunity for the development of racial development under the most advantageous circumstances." COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUE The Good Fellowship meeting of Club was largely attended by the membership of the Club and a membership drive was launched in an effort to add one hundred new members. Seyeral of the committees are working out plans laid down for them by the executive committee at its last meeting. Among the things being worked out is a plan for a competition in developing the "best kept" yard in the section where a majority of the colored people reside. Also, a committee is working in connection with the school teachers in this area to assist the pupils in their work, and general progress. The Colored Boy Scouts made a fine showing at the Auditorium Friday night, under the leadership of Dr. Craig Morris. Dan Desdunes, who has made his band famous and has been made famous by his band, is treasurer of the club. Better lights, more paved streets, better sidewalks and a general cleanup are in the offing. Betterments here will increase the average of betterments throughout the city. A cleanup week will soon be start ed in the section where most of the colored people reside. This job ought to be done better than it is done any- where else in the city. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

Douglass and His Contemporaries A recent inquiry as to the contemporaries of Frederick Douglass, addressed to the editor of The Age, possesses more than usual interest in view of the fact that this month will mark the 105th anniversary of the birth of this great tribute of his people. Born in 1817, in Talbot county, Maryland, Douglass' career as a public speaker began at Nantucket in 1841, at an anti-slavery convention. His last public utterance was made in behalf of woman suffrage, just previous to his death near Washington, February 20, 1856. During this period of over half a century Mr. Douglass had been thrown into contact with the greater and the lesser lights of both races, in the United States and abroad. Among his contemporaries of his own race may be recalled Robert Purvis and Isaiah Wears of Philadelphia, John Mercer Langston, B. K. Bruce, P. B. C. Pinch- Medical Association Elects Officers Dr. A.

Dr. A. G. Edwards, who had served faithfully and efficiently as president since its organization nine years ago, declined to serve longer in that office feeling that honors should be passed around. Dr. L. E. Britt was unanimously elected to succeed him. The other officers unanimously elected were Dr. D. W. Gooden, vice-president, Dr. A. G. Edwards, treasurer, and Dr. Craig Morris, secretary.

During this period of over half a Association Elec Retires After Nine ucceeded By Dr. L. E. are eligible to membership. The association meets regularly on the first Monday in each month. At the March meeting Dr. Britt will appoint the respective standing committees of the association. The Nebraska Association is a member of the National Medical Association and was represented at the annual convention at Louisville, Ky., last year by Drs. Edwards and Britt. At that convention Dr. Edwards was elected national vice-president for Nebraska. Dr. A. G.

He practiced successfully in Des DR. L. E. BRITT Newly Elected President Moines, Iowa, for several years and in Omaha for over fourteen years. He is well equipped and stands high in his chosen profession. Chief credit is due him for the organization of the local Association. Dr. Britt, the second president of the Association, was born in Higginsville, Mo., where he studied privately with Dr. T. A. McCleman before entering the National Medical School, Louisville, Ky., from which he was graduated as valedictorian in 1909, serving for a time as interne at the Citizens National hospital. He has been practicing here successfully for thirteen years and ranks high not only in his profession but among Omaha's most public spirited citizens. Vol. VII—No. 33 back, John R. Lynch and others who figured in the political doings of Reconstruction and the later period. But turning to his early career, we find him as an agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society traveling in company with George Foster, a Quaker, and working with such Abolitionists as Stephen S. Foster, Parker Pillsbury, Abbey Kelley, James Monroe, J. N. Buffum, Charles L. Redmond, Sydney Howard Day, Henry Highland Garnett, Theodore S. Wright, Amos G. Beaman, Charles M. Ray and others. In 1845-6 he visited England with the famous Hutchinson family of singers as fellow passengers. Here he became acquainted with Richard Cobden and John Bright, both of the members of Parliament. He also extended his labors to Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Shortly after his return to America he visited Captain John Brown, the hero of Harper's Ferry, at his home then in Springfield. Mass. Sojourner Truth, whom he styled "my quaint old sister," Gerrit Smith, Samuel Ringgold Ward, Henry Bibb, Bishop Daniel A. Payne, are referred to in his narrative at this period. He also met Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe, p revisited to her going to England, where her book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," had aroused anti-slavery enthusiasm. During the Rebellion Mr. Douglass was active in raising several regiments of colored volunteers, at the suggestion of Major George L. Stearns. His efforts to secure just and fair treatment for these soldiers brought him in contact with Governor John A. Andrew of Massachusetts and later on with President Lincoln and other officials at Washington. Charles A. A COLORED YOUTH LEADS HIS SCHOOL IN SCHOLARSHIP Countee Cullen, Student in DeWitt Clinton High School, New York, Wins Practically Every Prize and Honor Offered ATTAINS HIGHEST AVERAGE Captured Prizes in Mathematics, Debate, English, and Other Branches — Made Valedictorian—Universities Offer Scholarships. (Special to the Monitor) New York, Feb. 17—Will some one please page Arthur Brisbane? That distinguished Hearst journalist recently oracularly expressed himself on the fixed and irremediable mental inferiority of people of African blood and lineage. And now comes a youth who in competition with more than 300 classmates of the white race outranks all in scholarship and captures virtually every honor and prize offered by the school in which he was the stellar pupil. Moreover in all school activities he took a prominent place and part. He was first lieutenant of the Dothey squad, the crack military organization of his school; editor-in-chief of the "Clinton News," the weekly school journal and editor of "The Senior Margie," and vice-president of the Clinton Club. This brilliant student is Countee P. Cullen, the 18-year-old son of Rev Frederick A. Cullen, pastor of Salem M. E. church, West 1323 St., who has just completed the course at the DeWitt Clinton High School, winning practically every honor and prize which was to be competed for. There were 6,000 students at DeWitt Clinton and 300 of these were in young Cullen's class. And only three of the 300 were Negroes! That did not stop Countee Cullen. He won the highest honors possible, with an average through the four year course of 93 per cent, and graduated as valedictorian. He won prizes in department, attendance, debate, mathematics and English. One of his latest achievements was the winning of the Douglas Fairbanks oratorical contest, this being awarded him for his original poem, "I have a rendezvous with life." As a result of the splendid record made by Cullen in high school, both Columbia and New York Universities have offered him scholarships but the latter named institution was the first with their offer and the brilliant young Negro has already entered upon his studies at the New York University. His valedictory address was in the form of a poem of fifty-seven linas, entitled, "Any Senior to His Friend." and the effort was greeted with tumultuous applause from the enormous audience that filled DeWitt Clinton auditorium on graduation day. Countee has ambitions that lead to winning a Rhodes' Scholarship, carrying with it a year's study at Oxford College, England, and it is not at all improbable that he succeeds. The family lives at 234 West 131 street. 33 Whole Number 344 CATION CO-OPERATION IS THE KEYNOTE The Races Must Work Sympathetically and Intelligently Together for Mutual Progress—Faith of Armstrong Justified (By Wm. Anthony Aery) Hampton, Va., Feb. 9.—That suspicion and lack of confidence between races breed hatred, retrogression and war; that confidence and faith breed friendship, progress and peace—these two thoughts underlay the Hampton Institute Founder's Day address, which was recently delivered by Rev. Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes of New York, former secretary of Yale University, secretary of the Phelps-Stokes fund, and well-known author of religious and historical pamphlets and books, to a large and appreciative audience of white and colored citizens that assembled in Ogden Hall to pay tribute to the contribution which Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute in 1868 and served as its principal until his death in 1893. had wisely made, not only the Negro and Indian education in the United States, but also to education throughout the world. "Human Improvability under the Influence of Education, Work and Religion," was Doctor Stokes' theme. Dr. James E. Gregg in introducing Doctor Stokes, referred to the distinguished visitor as a life-long friend of Hampton Institute, as a scholar and writer, as a discerning philanthropist, and as a great administrative officer of a great university, who has generously served others and won well-merited honors. --- GROWING _____ THANK YOU Whole Number 344 PROGRESS RECORD FURNISHES REASON FOR HOPEFULNESS Doctor Anson Phelps Stokes, Founder's Day Speaker at Hampton Institute, Finds Encouragement in Striking Statistics CO-OPERATION IS KEYNOTE Need of Racial Understanding "The white man," said Doctor Stokes, "basing his faith on the wonderful progress of the black man during three centuries, must follow his own wisest leaders in showing more faith in the improvability of the Negro. Similarly the black man must increase his faith in the improvability of the average white man's attitude towards racial problems and needs, basing his faith on the slowly but steadily growing fairness of the white man towards him, and especially the advocacy of his rights to equal treatment before the law by that farsighted group of Southerners such as Curry, McIver, Mitchell, Dillard, Alderman, Jackson-Davis, Weatherford, Eagan, Alexander and Bickett, co-operating with sympathetic Northerners such as Howard, Ogden, Buttrick, Frissell, McKenzie, Hubbard, Ware and Gregg, and supported more and more by the independent press of the South There will, of course, be differences of honest opinion, both as to what is possible and desirable; there will be no lack of honest criticism; the debate will not cease, but let the whole discussion of inter-racial matters be carried on in the hopeful spirit of good will.

CONTEMPORARIES OF DOUGLASS (Continued from Page 1) Dana, then assistant secretary of war, he had known many years before at Brook Farm and afterward as managing editor of the New York Tribune. After the war, Mr. Douglass entered the lecture field with such success that he adopted it as a new vocation. Legislation in behalf of the freedmen enlisted his efforts, with such associates as George T. Downing, William E. Matthews, John F. Cook, Joseph E. Otis, A. W. Ross, William Whipper, John M. Brown and Alexander Dunlop. The National Loyalists Convention at Philadelphia was the occasion of his meeting Theodore Tiltor and Gen. Benj. F. Butler, Wendell Phillips, Senator Charles Summer and others foremost in anti-slavery matters were contemporaries of older standing. Mr. Douglass' later career in politics and as a holder of public office, brought him in contact with all the Presidents of the United States from Grant to Harrison. His quality as an orator was tested by his appearing on a Cooper Union plattform on the same occasion with Robert Ingersoll and Chaucey M. Depew and bearing favorable comparison with either. The contemporaries of Frederick Douglass during his long and eventful public career were so numerous that to but call their roll would suggest a biographical encyclopedia. The foregoing summary indicates in some measure the men of both races who lived and labored during the same e ra. It was truly an age of giants. —The New York Age. Our battle with popular prejudice requires on our part the utmost circum spection in word and deed.—Douglass RECORD INSPIRES HOPE (Continued from Page 1.) 000, of businesses conducted from 2100 to 60,000, of literacy from 10 to 80 per cent, of teachers from 600 to 43,000, of voluntary contributions to education from $80,000 to $2,700,000, of churches from 700 to 45,000, of Sunday school pupils from 50,000 to 2,250,000, of church property from $1,000,000 to $200,000—this is an extraordinary record full of reassurance to those who like to believe in human improvability. "During this difficult period of adjustment the Negro has maintained his religious faith, increased his thrift, improved his capacity as a skilled workman, developed self-respecting Christian homes, and, where educational opportunities have been suitable and adequate, strengthened his character and his capacity for the wise leadership of his own people. "The Negro's actual progress in the past is my ground for faith in his still greater progress in the future—especially now that inter-racial committees of the wisest men of both races in nearly a thousand localities are meeting regularly throughout this great Southland to discuss frankly specific local problems of race relationships. This is indeed a harbinger of promise. Armstrong's Faith is Justified "What makes General Armstrong's connection with Hampton unique is that here for the first time education, work and religion, broadened and vitalized, were brought together in a large, competently governed institution for the development of the backward races. Armstrong believed in the improvability of the Negro and the Indian under the three great forces of education, work and religion, and the experience of fifty years has justified his faith. The School has modified and must continue to modify its curriculum from time to time, but these foundation principles are fundamental and, fortunately, adjustable to all needs."

As to Its Constitutionality If the gentlemen opposing this bill are so absolutely confident that the Supreme Court of the United States will certainly declare it null and void, why fillibuster against its passage and try to prevent its enactment? What are you afraid of? 1 almost suspect that you are afraid the Su preme Court may sustain the law.— Frederick W. Dallinger, Massachu- setts. | Mr. Chairman and gentlemen ot the committee: it seems to me that this debate is bringing a great deal of extraneous matter into the Record. In view of the fate vf the thirteenth the fourteenth and the fifteenth con- stitutional amendments in the South it seems to me that my Democratic friends should not now exhibit such great tenderness as to whether this bill is constitutional or not. Nor does it seem to me that the hon- orable gentleman (Mr, Linthicum) who is afraid that it is going to create a supergovernment need con- corn himself greatly about that in view of the record of his party, which ig somewhat in favor of supergovern ment if we may judge it by the past. —Charles L. Knight, Ohio. ‘Those of us who oppose this legis- lation have taken the position that this bill is unconstitutional even un- Aer that provision of the fourteenth ‘amendment. During this discussion some very able arcuments have been made against the constitutionality of this bill in which it has been clearly shown that the bill is uncon- stitutional. It would be unwise to enact it into law even if-it was con- stitutional.—Morgan G. Sanders, Tex- Would Inerease Mob Rule 1 am opposed to this bill because it would increase mob violence by en- couraging the crimes which are the most provocative of mob violence and which more than all things else com- bined create the conditions out of which mob violence as a punishment for other offenses arises, I am op- posed to this bill because the inter- position of Federal power would les sen the sense of local responsibility and retard the growth of local purpose to suppress mob violence. T am op: rosed to this bill because it is uncon- stitutional and appeals for support to the very spirit which it denounces —the spirit of disregard for law and the sacredness of the official oath— Summers, Texas. a. ‘Cavniimania Duis _. The Government that will not de- fend its defenders, that will not pro- ‘tect those whom it compels to offer ‘their lives to protect its interest, is ‘a diserace to the family of nations, ‘and I hope that this Congress will |help to wipe such a stain from ovr fag and carry out the purpose of ‘those who drew and those who pro posed this amendment. When a state fails to punish those who commit mob murder it fails to afford due process of law and the enual nrotection of the laws. Aside from immediate police protection which in most instanees can not. be given, the one method recognize and relied on by every Government ‘as the apnropriate, the necesary, ‘and effective means for protectine ‘persons against lawlessness is the ‘punishment of those who violate [law.—Andrew J, Volstead, Minne. ‘sota. |. theless Poth my observation and = my judgement lead me to believe that this legislation will go far toward removing this disgraceful and barbar- jc practice. No man, though suilty, should be killed until he has his day in court. And we know that man” innocent persons have been burned and hanged. Let us do our part te end this awful, indefensible practice. Law and order should be encouraged. Mob law should be ended. The laws of our Republic should be enforced If equal protection is not granted by all States, then let the Federal Gov- ernment intervene. That is what this law is intended to do. 1 shall vote for it-—Israel M. Foster, Ohio. ‘A BLOT ON NATION. I have listened with considerable interest to the arguments that have been made against the adoption of this legislation, but I have heard nothing offered by the opponents of the bill which would incline me tc vote against the bill. I shall vote for the bill because I am in hearty sympathy and accord with its intents and purposes. The continued frequency of mot rule in the United States whick usually culminates in the putting tc death of the victim in many’ in stances in a most repulsive and bar- barous manner is a blot and a stain ‘on our country’s name and professed civilization, and such actions can not be justified under any circumstances I believe this bill, when enacted into law, will have a very powerful moral effect upon the law officers <q the country. I can see no good rea- son why there should be any’ oppo- sition to it, for no one can eonsist- ently condone the action of an infu- riated mob bent upon wreaking ven- geance upon a helpless victim, too often without substantial proof of the guilt of the victim, and in many instances carrying out the will of the mob in a manner far more gruesome than the crime of which the victim is charged. —Isaae Bacharach, New Jersey, NATION TIRED OF MOBS. We as a Nation know too well the efficacy of the ofderly administration which lynchings are of frequent oc- eurence must learn now that the patience of liberty loving America is about exhausted. There are no “ifs” ‘and “ands” about it, ‘This bill, amended or unamended, wil pess, and those communities can take the consequences or leave them alone The decision is up to them. (Ap- plause.) ‘ There never was a cuse of mob violence, but that every personal safeguard. constitutional, legnl, and moral, was overridden with heartless impunity. There never was a case of lynching but that every law, s0 carefully woven into our civil fabric was defied and every element of orderly, organized government for the time was overthrown. John F. Miller, Washington. , LOYALTY TO COUNTRY In the early morning of a spring day of 1918 healthy, manly colored boys began to assemble in Washing- ton Square, New York City. Thou- sands of them were formed in a mil- itary procession and marched up Fifth Avenue amid the cheering of the multitude, ‘The places of busines were decorated with the National emblem, and when they reached Mur- ray Hill they were stopped in front of the Union Club, where the Gov- ermor of the State desended, ac- companied by his official retinue, and passed to this company of col- ored troops their colors and said to them that they should bring them back with honor. ‘The survivors of this company, some of them having paid the su- preme sacrifice, came back to their country, bringing the colors with honor., They all offered their lives to save the world for democracy and to save the civil and personal free- dom of every man, woman, and child in the United States. In the heart of hearts of these brave colored boys rested the hope that their acts of bravery would also free them and give them a little higher standing in the community in which they lived. They had the hope that while they were fighting to make the world safe for democracy and save civilization they might also win a little freedom for themselves. What has been. the record? They were honorably dis- charged from the service, and within one year from the time they were dis- charged ten of their number were lynched, not one of the ten for rape. —Wm. Chalmers, Ohio.

Of the rugged substantial relies of thelr building, Mr. Nutting says “Phere ix solidity in them, durability, freedom from cuprice, and an expres. sion of that sober rationality every: where characteristic of the Puritan genius. “For adaptation to climate, wise use of accessible mtaterials, inner com venience obtained at low cost and freedom from discordant lines, Puritan domestic architecture deserves high praise.” ‘This is no less true of thelr turn ture gecessories.
