TEXAS JUDGE RELEASES NEGRO; WHITE MEN HELD LIFTING LIFT TOO RACE RELATIONS SUNDAY OBSERVED IN CITY CHURCHES Movement Inaugurated by Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America Starts Out Successfully. UNITED PROGRAMS ARE GIVEN Mass Meeting at Zion Baptist Church In Afternoon Feature of the Observance.—May Exchange Pulpits. Race Relations Sunday, the observance of which on the Sunday nearest the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, as suggested by the National Council of the Federated Churches of Christ in America, which includes all the Protestant denominations, was very generally observed throughout the country last Sunday. Omaha churches entered wholeheartedly into the movement. Several of the churches, white and colored, carried out the program suggested. Most of the churches had their special services and exercises in this connection in the evening. Among the white congregations who had colored persons on the program were the First Presbyterian church, the largest and wealthiest of that denomination in the city; First Central Grace Methodist; Westminster and Coveannt Presbyterian and Plymouth Congregational. At the First Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, pastor, made a brief address commending the movement and expressing the hope "That from such occasions as this may a spirit of helpfulness be generated by reason of our getting to know each other better." The Harmony Quartette, Dr. John Andrew Singleton, baritone; George Griffin, second tenor; H. Sherwood, first tenor; and H. L. Preston, bass, sang several songs to the delight of the congregation present. Several of the colored congregations united in a mass meeting Sunday afternoon at Zion Baptist Church, at which a fair proportion of the audience was white. The meeting was opened by the Rev. E. L. Hollis of the C. M. E. church. Other ministers taking part in the program were the Rev. Wm. Franklin, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist; the Rev. Fred Divers, pastor of Bethel the M. A. E.; and the Rev. E. H. McDonald, pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist. The principal address was made by Attorney John Adams. A solo was sung by Rufus C. Long and several selections were sung by a union choir. At the Westminster Presbyterian church, Twenty-ninth and Mason streets, in the evening, a Lincoln day program of Negro music, poetry and literature was given, a visiting quartet made up of representative colored church singers sang, while the church choir and quartet together rendered "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot." The Rev. MELVIN Robert Laird presided. Archie Baley delivered an address on Lincoln. At the Plymouth Congregational church, Eighteenth and Emmet, a similar program was held in the evening, including singing by a visiting colored quartet, and a play depicting the advance of the Negro race in this country. The play, "What We Have Done," was presented by the young people of the church, and the Rev. F. H. Anderson, pastor of the church, and Mrs. Anderson, took the roles of "Dad" and "Mammy." A quartet from St. Paul's Colored Presbyterian church, Twentysixth and Seward streets, members of the congregation and the pastor, the Rev. Russell Taylor, visited the Covenant Presbyterian church, Twenty-seventh and Pratt streets, of which the Rev. F. H. Grace is pastor, at the evening service. The Rev. Mr. Taylor addressed those assembled. Several young peoples meetings held race relations programs in the afternoon. An interchange of pulpits between white and colored churches, which was originally planned, could not be carried out because it was too late, to make such arrangements when notification of the proposed dates was received by many of the pastors. Dr. A. A. DeLarme of the First Baptist church, the Rev. M. Allen Keith of Pearl Memorial Methodist, and the Rev. Charles W. Savidge, People's church, were among those who would have welcomed such a program if arrangements could have been completed. Mrs. Larry N. Peoples returned last week after a three months' vacation with friends and relatives in Chicago and Davenport. THE MONITOR FOUGHT SEGREGATION IN NEW JERSEY SCHOOLS New York, Feb. 16—Irving T. Nutt, president of the Camden, New Jersey, Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who consistently and persistently fought segregation in and about Camden, has been appointed a member of the Camden school board by Mayor King. Mr. Nutt, according to the Camden Post-Telegram (white) "is a well known colored resident of the Seventh Ward and is an earnest advocate of equal rights for his race. He has been making a determined effort to have colored children sent to the schools nearest their homes, and is opposed to making them travel long distances to attend schools set apart for colored children. As a member of the board Mr. Nutt will be in a position to more vigorously press his demand for equal rights for his race." HARLEM OFFICE GETS EXECUTIVE SECRETARY New York, Feb. 16—Louis Berry, of Indianapolis, pastor of St. Philip's Episcopal church in that city, will take up the duties of executive secretary of the Harlem office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York City beginning March 1, it has been announced. Mr. Berry is the first person to fill the office which is newly created in order to deal with the increasing work of the Association in New York City. He was educated at Howard University and at the General Theological Seminary and has had experience in organization work. The Harlem Office of the N. A. A. C. P. is located at 2350 Seventh Ave., New York City. COMMUNISTS REJECT FRENCH OVERTURES Essen, Feb. 16—(Crusader Service) The French army of occupation approached the Communists here with a view to reaching a friendly understanding in case of serious labor troubles, but the Communists peremptorily rejected the overtures, one of the Communist leaders telling a French official that the Communists were at no time in favor of enslaving the German workers to pay France reparations for a Capitalist war for which French Capitalists were as much responsible as German capitalists. HEROISM OF RACE IN WAR IS LAUDED BY VICE-PRESIDENT Coolidge Commends Contribution of Negro to Progress of Country During Times of Peace and of War. EULOGIZES LINCOLN'S WORK Negroes Have Justified the Faith of Abraham Lincoln, Declares the Speaker at Dedication of Government Hospital. Tuskegee, Ala., Fab. 16—America stands unchangeably committed to the principle of the right to individual freedom made forever plain and clear by Abraham Lincoln, Vice President Calvin Coolidge declared Monday in an address dedicating the $2,000,000 government hospital for Negro veterans of the World War. "The life of Abraham Lincoln," he said, "gave a new and practical meaning to the right of self-government which was to grow into a great world of influence. Americans are not without justification in assuming that this nation has been called into existence to establish, to maintain, to defend and to extend that principle. Insofar as the World War was a conflict between different theories of civilization, it was a conflict between those who supported this principle and those who opposed it. It was the liberty-loving nations of the earth, those most generously committed to the principle of sovereignty of the people, who were victorious. In that victory, Abraham Lincoln had a very large share." "Freedom places grave duties and responsibilities on the individual which will bring success if met and performed, but failure if neglected and evaded," the vice president asserted. "It was the belief of Abe Lincoln," he continued, "that all people could and would finally rise to these requirements. In the less than 70 years that the Negro race in America have been in the enjoyment of freedom they have (Continued on Page Two).

THE NEGRO SANHEDRIN Kelly Miller Submits Certain Practical Suggestions Looking Towards Effective Functioning of Proposed Conference of Colored Americans FRENCH INVASION EUROPE RHUR STRUGGLES FRENCH GREECE MEMEL BALKAN ENGLAND TURKEY (Copyright, W. H. W.) My suggestion for an all-race conference has met with a nation-wide response. It is unanimously agreed that such a conference is not only important, but imperative. The proposition elicits immediate and spontaneous reaction. Great ideas are rarely ever the product of a single mind. They are but the outcome of scientific or social necessities demanded by the advancing state of knowledge or social need. Fundamental thoughts stir spontaneously in the minds of many thinkers. It is only by chance or good hap that some fortunate individual is first to formulate and give them public utterance. Fortunate indeed is he if he escapes the rivalry and jealousy of those who are fond of the self-glory of priority. I claim no originality or special merit for proclaiming the suggestion of a Negro Sanhedrin. When the cloud is surcharged with electricity, the flash may break out at any point. I have merely expressed the general feeling not before sufficiently focussed in definite form of statement. Enthusiastic supporters of the idea declare that it was already floating in their minds without form—and void. Indeed it had already received implicit or explicit expression in sundry, partial ways. The National Race Conference had felt the need and uttered it. The Equal Rights League had already sent out invitations to the several Civil Rights organizations including the N. A. A. C. P., the National Race Congress, and the Blood Brotherhood, for a joint meeting and united action. Several secret and fraternal orders were contemplating similar procedure. My suggestion differs from the others only in the comprehensiveness of its range and scope. I would have the conference take into consideration, "the state of the race," involving the entire circle of interests pertinent and peculiar to our race, and its relations to the larger social entity in which it is submerged. The national race movements hitherto have limited their attention to some particular pressing and distressing features of the problem. The dynamic power of politics has been the chief reliance. These conferences have split on the rock on which they were founded. The political agency must loom large in any effective race program, but the subject must be approached in the spirit of comprehensive race statesmanship, and not of personal and partisan manipulation. Politics forms but a single factor of our tangled problem. The internal development of the race is of primary importance aside from its external relation to the environing white world. The statesmanlike attitude will not allow itself to become excited over any single distressing factor, but views the whole problem with sobriety of temper and deliberateness of judgment. Napoleon Bonaparte suggested a Sanhedrin of the Jews of Europe in 1807. The constitution of this body comprehended the entire fabric of Jewish life and relationship. The agenda covered the whole field of Jewish interests as affecting and affected by the dominant Gentile world in which they were enveloped. The outcome of this conference has potent influence in Jewry until the present day. The East Indians meet in annual session of an All Indian Conference to consider the inlock of the race itself, and its outlook upon the world at large. The Negro needs most of all the stimulation of a race conscientiousness and the formulation of a race ideal which will furnish inspiration to every member thereof. The proposed conference looks to this end. The need is plain. A way farer, though blind, may see it. The demand is upon us. Hove we the wisdom and courage to meet it? The difficulties are great. To the timid they seem insurmountable. The cowarly spirit always sees lions in the way. But to those who have unswerving faith in the humanity of man, nothing is impossible. The next step is to devise some feasible and effective method of procedure. Merely to issue a sudden call of the wise ones to meet and deliver fiery orations, and adopt heated and masty resolutions would accomplish nothing. Violent protest against oppression and wrong is but natural ebulation of feeling. Such has been the method of all the conferences which have gone before. I now suggest that this be a conference of conferences. Let the varied organizations and agencies of nationwide aim and purpose designate some representative in Washington City. The representatives so designated will form a provisional committee. This committee is to meet as often as necessary and deliberae as long as requirements of the situation demand. When it has reached agreement upon a proper agenda let it set the time and place, and issue the call for the general conference. I suggest the city of Washington as most fitting seat of the committee because of its central location and focal advantages. In order to meet inevitable objections I suggest that the central committee in Washington may organize, on the same plan of its own complexion, local committees in various centers to cooperate in the formulation of plans. The judgment of the committee should express the findings of our best minds and hearts and conscience, and should be based upon counsel as wide as the race and as broad as its needs. If my suggestions are acceptable let the various organization proceed at once to designate representatives. I will undertake to call them together. Then my function will be at an end. The rest will be in the hands of the race. Yours truly, (Signed) KELLY MILLER. URBAN LEAGUE IS STEADILY MAKING INFLUENCE FELT Gift of $10,000.00 For Its Work Reported at the Annual Meeting When Reports are Read and Officers Elected. PHENOMENAL ADVANCEMENT Organization Which Began as Local Body With Expenditure of $2,500 Has Grown Into National Movement. New York, Feb. 16—Steady increase in the forces making for cooperation between the Negro and white races was emphasized by L. Hollingsworth Wood, Chairman of the National Urban League, at its eleventh annual meeting in the Russell Sage Foundation Building Wednesday afternoon. He reported that the year 1922 had been the most important in the history of the Urban League movement which started with a small group in New York spending $2,600 in 1910 and has grown to a national movement with branches in more than forty cities spending more than $250,000 a year. "The greatest handicap to better inter-racial relations has been the indifference of the great mass of whites and this indifference has been due mostly to the limited knowledge by the whites of Negroes," said Mr. Wood. "The last few years have shown a new and significant change which has come about through the great migration of Negroes from the South into the industrial centers of the East and Middle West and through the attention which has been brought to inter-racial relations by the exposition of Ku Klux activities, by the Congressional debates on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, by the public discussion of President Lowell's attempt to scrap one of Harvard's most precious traditions, and by similar incidents in which the Negro has figured in the news. "These incidents have made the great contribution of focussing attention on this matter and for every per- (Continued on Page Two) GROWING THANK YOU number 397 Vol. VIII—No. 33 N HELD TEXAS JUDGE FREES COLORED PRISONER CHARGED WITH RAPE Man Accused of Criminally Assaulting White Girl and Murdering Her Escort is Freed by Order of the Court. ARREST GIRL AND BROTHERS Another Case Where Truth Thwarts Attempt to Make Negro Pay the Penalty for Crime Committed by Whites Waco, Texas, Feb. 16—Watted on the wires of the Associated Press last November, came the report from this southern town that another "lynching party" was in the making, following an accusation that Ivory Clay was held in connection with a "brutal and vicious" assault on a white girl and the murdering of her escort. This crime occurred November 29, last. Last week, wafted on the wires of this same press service, came the news that Ivory Clay had been released, and that the hundreds of spectators, who crowded into the historic court house, vigorously applauded the decision of Judge R. I. Monroe. (It will be remembered that Jesse Washington was burned alive in this same court house yard in May, 1916.) This case is but one of the hundreds of cases reported over the press wires yearly, in which a colored man, accused of "assaulting" a white girl, is a prey to the fury of a blood-thirsty mob. The result is death, either via fire, bullets or the hangman's noose. No one knows the true facts in the case. The victim is hunted to his hiding place like a drowning rat or either picked up, usually taken to the place of the alleged assault, and there forced to go through untold agonies and indignities before rope, fire or bullet puts a merciful end to his life. And this state, with its warped and soulless ideas of justice, the home of the "lyncher and Ku Kluxer;" this state, at whose door the stigma of staining the Stars and Stripes of Old Glory, has fallen no less than four times in the last two months, has finally "played square." For not only was Clay released, but the decision of the court was cheered. What a contrast to a similar case in North Carolina this past week, where the governor was forced to call out the State Militia to quell the spirit of mob control. that had threatened to lynch a race man, in case a jury deliberating on his case returned a verdict of not guilty, or anything less than murder in the first degree. Girl and Two Brothers Held Clay was arrested shortly after an alleged assault on Miss Naomi Boucher, southern girl, and the murder of her escort, Grady Skipworth, on the night of November 20. At the hearing, Miss Boucher testified that Clay was the man who shot Skipworth and treated her roughly, finally throwing her over a cliff. The story as told by the girl was colored to the extreme and told of the climax to an auto ride, in which the "burly Negro," had shot Skipworth down in cold blood and then brutally assaulted her. But in direct rebuttal to this story was the action of the father of the slain man ordering the arrest of Miss Boucher and her two brothers, Horace and Bernard. What a different angle this puts on the case. Indications point to the fact that the elder Skipworth caused the arrest of the trio after he had gleaned certain facts seeming to show that the girl and his son had been surprised in a compromising position, that Skipworth was killed, and that the "Negro" story was trumped up in an endeavor to save the girl's "honor" and the lives of her brothers. Arrest Creates Sensation Recently Miss Boucher and her brothers were arrested by Ranger Captain E. D. Shumate and removed separately to other counties in order that he might have better opportunity to investigate the death of young Skipworth. The removal of the three from McLennan county created a sensation which rocked the entire state and the three were brought back only after Judge J. P. Alexander had issued a warrant for the arrest of Shumate on charges of evasion of service. "Evidence Insufficient" Habeas Corpus hearing of Clay followed sensational testimony of J. P. Williams and his son, who named Joe Miller, an alleged former roomer at the Boucher home, as the man in the (Continued on Page Two) THE MONITOR A National Weekly Newpaper Devoted Primarily to the Interests of Colored Americans.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF MILITARY PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE THEORY AND FACT VICE President Coolidge in his excellent address delivered at the opening of the "Government Hospital for Negro Veterans of the World War" at Tuskegee on Lincoln's birthday enunciated several fundamental principles to which all right-minded and well-thinking people will subscribe. He clearly defined the position to which America in theory, at least, is committed, and the principles for which she theoretically stands, but even a superficial observer must admit that there is a wide divergence between theory and fact. The theory is, as Mr. Coolidge aptly states it "That America stands unchangeably committed to the principle of the right of individual freedom made forever clear and plain by Abraham Lincoln," but the fact is that "the right of individual freedom" is largely mythical so far as a large group of American citizens is concerned. The theory is that the United States is a democracy where all her citizens are entitled to the same privileges in American national institutions; but the fact is, as the opening of this very hospital exclusively for "Negro Veterans of the World War" most graculically illustrates, that principle and application are at hostility. It is because there is such a wide divergence between theory and fact in our American life that the voice of protest is becoming clearer and louder with the belief that ultimately theory and fact, principle and practice will become more fully in accord. We are grateful for Mr. Coolidge's review of the deeds of our race which have justified the faith of Abramam Lincoln. We accept with gratitude his statement that "The Negro's record at home and abroad during the war won for them the gratitude of the American people," but we regret to say that we fail to see much evidence of this gratitude. In this again there is a yawning gulf between theory and fact. If the undeniable increase of race prejudice, in all sections of the country, studied and systematic efforts to restrict privileges and humiliate and embarrass our self-respecting people, be manifestations of this gratitude, then indeed are the American people grateful for "the Negro's recue are by no means discouraged, nor ord at home and abroad during the war." But even though we thus speak will our people abate by on jot or title all honorable efforts in the future to surpass their splendid record in peace and in war during the past sixty-five years until by the very strength of their character, manhood and achievements they will force the ideals to which America is unquestionably committed to become real not only in theory but in fact. AN ILLUSTRIOUS TRIUMVIRATE. IT is rather remarkable that February should have been the birth-month of that most illustrious triumvirate of Americans, Washington, Douglas and Lincoln. If named in chronological order, it would be Lincoln, Douglas and Washington, for Abraham Lincoln was born on Feb. 12. Frederick Douglas on Feb. 15, and George Washington on Feb. 22. The first two were born in humble circumstances and lowly station, and the last in comparative wealth and affluence. Two were of white parentage and free born, the other of African blood and lineage and born a slave. Yet all three rose to eminence and usefulness in the nation. Two of them reached the presidency of the Republic; the other, despite his color and previous servitude, arose to the high position of minister pleniotentiary of the United States and the trusted advisor of presidents. When Lincoln was born in the backwoods of Kentucky who could have fored or forseen the work to which he would be called, the eminence to which he would arise and the historic place he would hold among the nobly great? When the little Negro slave was born on a Maryland plantation, who ever dream ed that he would become a free man, sway hundreds of thousands with his eloquence and serve his native land, which counted him as a chattel, with merit and distinction, and attain a high niche in the hall of fame? Though the son of a country gentleman, none would have foretold that George Washington would have become the first president of the United States and won a place among rulers and princes of the earth. From birth and parentage his case is not so phenomenal as that of either Lincoln or Douglas. The case of the latter seemed the most unlikely and unpromising of all and yet note well to what eminence he arose. All things are possible when a child is born. No matter how lowly his parentage or humble his birth who can gauge the eminence to which he is destined to arise? It is well for us to celebrate the anniversaries of this illustrious triumvirate. They force upon our attention many helpful thoughts. The lives of Douglass and Lincoln should prove an inspiration to all youth born in humble circumstances. The life of Frederick Douglass, the slave boy who became a United States minister and the adviser of presidents, should prove an inspiration to children of our race and fill them with the desire and determination to be and do all that may become a man. The life of Douglass and of Lincoln teach clearly this truth among many others: "Honor and shame from no condition rise, Act well thy part, there all the honor lies." Hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world are observing a forty day period of fasting, penitence, prayer and special services. This forty day period, or to be exact, forty-six day period, for the Sundays are not included as days of fasting is known as Lent. The word "Lent" really means spring, but in common usage it means the period of special religious exercises and observance which many thousands of people find to be of great help to them in the spring of each year. A period of this kind, so generally used by so many thousands and for many hundreds of years, must have some real meaning, value and significance. It has. That such a season of intensive religious training, for that it what it really is, must be helpful to those who use it, goes without saying. The purpose of the observance of Lent is to help discipline character and strengthen the will. For many years the observance of Lent was confined to Roman Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherans, chiefly, but in later years other bodies of Christian people have begun to recognize its value and so its observance is growing. It may be a mere perfunctory thing, or it may prove a real spiritual help. We are quite sure that those who enter rightly and sincerely into the spirit of Lent will receive help from it. Like everything else worth while people will get out of the observance of Lent just what they put into it. RACE RELATIONS THE movement inaugurated by the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches is a step in the right direction. The plan proposed is sufficiently elastic to be applied to all communities where there is the slightest desire to come to a better understanding and more genial relationship between the races to counteract the much to be regretted and uncalled for misunderstanding which is becoming acute and which only the spirit of Christ can allay. The interchange of visits upon the part of representatives of both groups to their respective houses of worship and an attempt thereby to become acquainted cannot but bear good fruit. Where this is not deemed practicable conferences between representatives will be helpful. LENT. SPECIAL Opossum and Coon Dinner Saturday and Sunday Bell Cafe 806 South Thirteenth St. If the spirit of Christ is in the heart of both races, as we believe it is, even though it may be very imperfectly manifested, there is no reason in the world why amity and goodwill should not supplant suspicion and dislike which develops rapidly into hatred. HEROISM OF RACE IN WAR IS LAUDED BY VICE PRESIDENT (Continued from Page One) made marvelous progress. That progress is shown not only in the property which they have acquired, not only in the talent which they have exhibited in the arts, in the professions, nor yet in the administration of business affairs, all of which have been very great, but most of all in the honest, industrious way in which the great body of their people have performed Their greatest contribution lies in the fact that they have helped to do the work of the nation. "When the call came in time of war they were ready and desirous of enlisting. More than two and one-quarter millions of them were registered under the selective draft. They were more anxious to enlist than they were to evade any service for their country. In spite of every deception or temptation to which public enemies artfully subjected them, they exhibited a layloy and devotion to the cause of America which was unsurpassed. Nearly 400,000 of them went into military service. "The total casualty of Negro troops, he said, was approximately 103 officers and 1,543 enlisted men, of whom six officers and 203 enlisted men were killed in action. Four Negro officers and 43 enlisted men received the distinguished service cross, he added. It was not merely their soldiers in the field but their citizens in the supporting army of production and transportation at home, both men and women, whose efforts contributed to the success of the allied armies, the vice president asserted. "More than that, they gave generously of their resources, purchasing the securities of the government and contributing to the Red Cross and other war charities. Their patriotism' shines forth in every field of action." The Negro's record at home and abroad during the war won them the everlasting gratitude of the American people, he said. "They have justified the faith of Abraham Lincoln." Turning again to the life of Lincoln, the vice president said: "It takes time and patience and perseverance to put into practice our theory of human rights. Lincoln knew that. If there was one virtue that he seemed to possess more than another, it was that of forbearance. It is well for us, who must live together as Americans, whatever our race or creed may be, constantly to remember his words: "We are not enemies but friends. We must not be enemies." Liberty, the vice president said, is of slow growth, but irresistible. It took the long debates of Clay, Calhour and Webster and the vigilant action of Jackson, no less than the decisions of Marshall and the wise counsel of Washington, to reveal the true spirit of the union. At length the time came for another forward step, another extension of the principle of freedom. Like all others, it was wrought in sacrifice. At last the national character of our government was finally established. The fabric of the union was finally complete. The rank of citizens was all free. It was out of this period of suffering and sorrow there emerged a great statesman. Abraham Lincoln, and two great soldiers, Grant anl Lee. Each of these represented an American ideal. Lee stands for the power of the states. Grant stands for the power of the nation. But to Lincoln it was given to stand for the power of the people." UBBAN LEAGUE IS STEADILY MAKING INFLUENCE FELT son whose prejudices have been fostered there have been many real Americans who have accepted the challenge to our traditions of justice and fair play and have become aroused to throw their influence with the constructive forces. "The result has been an increased interest in and support of the Urban League movement and a like stimulation of the other forces for co-operation, such as the Commission on Inter-Racial Relations which is becoming THE MONITOR so important as an influence in the South, and the activities of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America." As material evidence of this increased interest, the Urban League announced that four new cities had organized affiliated groups in 1922 and that the income of the national organization had increased from $15,000 to a total of $43,486. Announcement was also made that friends of the late Mrs. Harry Plotz, who died in Paris last spring, had raised $10,000 which had been given to the National Urban League for the establishment of the Ella Sachs Plotz Fund, the income from which is to be devoted "to the development and training of some Negro man or woman especially fitted for social and civic service in the community." Mrs. Plotz, who was a daughter of Samuel Sachs, was an active member of the Urban League Board and a Trustee of Fisk university. Irving S. Merrell, president of the Merrell-Soule Company of Syracuse, and a trustee of Tuskegee Institute, and C. C. Paulaud, secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the largest Negro insurance company, were elected to the Executive Board, and among those re-elected for a term of three years were Felix Adler, Mrs. Julius Rosenwald Mrs. Booker T. Washington, William G. Willcox, Miss Nannie Burroughs of Washington and James H. Dillard of Charlestville, Va. The officers, including Mr. Wood, chairman; Dr. Robert R. Moton as vicechairman, William H. Baldwin as secretary and A. S. Frissell as treasurer, were re-elected. The executive secretary of the league, Eugene Kinckle Jones, presented his annual report showing the establishment of four new branches of the league, the establishment of a new monthly magazine, "Opportunity", a journal of Negro life, surveys of the Negroes of Hartford and of the industrial opportunities of the Negroes in Baltimore. Record of the work in local communities was also presented. N. H. THOMAS PROTESTS Neval H. Thomas, member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has written a letter to the Washington Evening Star, protesting against that newspaper's editorial endorsement of the plan to erect a memorial to "colored mammies" of the south in the national capital. Mr. Thomas refers to the plan as "movement having for its object to keep colored people in their former state of servitude." Mr. Thomas, after pointing out that the measure is sponsored by Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, continues: "We are glad that the white race appreciates the divine virtues of truth and loyalty which the 'black mammy' has and has in abundance, but it overlooks the other divine virtue that is here, a divine love for her offspring. She bore her sufferings in patience because she believed that through them America's conscience would quicken and give her children and her children's children the justice they so richly deserve. My own beloved mother was one of those unfortunate who had the flower of her youth spent in a slave cabin, and I know the heart of a slave mother, its intense longing for better things for her children. "Every 'black mammy' who looks down from Heaven today upon this disordered world delights to see her beautiful daughters and granddaughters aspiring and attaining unto the beautiful and the true in spite of their handicaps which the southern spirit which proposes this monument throw around them. She loves to see her reading the best in literature, filling positions of usefulness, taking honat at the best universities in the low and reigning over cultured homes, not as 'old mammy,' but as dutiful wife and tender mother. "So if the South has such deep gratitude for the virtues of this devoted group from which it reaped vast riches let it remove the numberless barriers it has gone out of its way to throw up against the progress of the noble Negro womanhood who sprang from these 'mammies.' Democracy is the monument which the 'colored mammy' wants erected to her, and not a marble shaft, which at best will be but a symbol of our servitude, to remind white and black alike that the menal callings are our place in the scheme of things."

ONLY FIFTEEN STATES FREE FROM LYNCHINGS Washington, Feb. 16—(Crusader Service)—Only fifteen states have been free from lynchings in the past ten years, the commission of church and race relations of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America declared recently in an analysis of lynching statistics from 1885 to 1921. Of these, no lynching has ever been reported in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire or Vermont, the statement said, and none has been reported since 1889 in New Jersey, Utah or Connecticut. The other states with a "clear record" in the last ten years were Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. The lynching victims from 1885 to 1921 included 1,011 white men, 17 white women, 3,001 Negro men and 68 Negro women. The number of white persons lynched has decreased rapidly since 1900. The statement cited the lynching of Italians, Mexicans, Jews, and a German during the war as "indicating that lawlessness spreads where prejudice abounds." It added that the annual rate of lynching declined slowly after the peak years of 1892 and 1893 until 1900, increased in that year and the next, and then fell off until 1918, when the tendency again turned upward.

SLAVE TO TRAVELING MANIA One of the Stanchest Monarchiet Papers Gives Space to a Sensational Article Obviously From an Authoritative Source—Says if William Had Been Born a Laborer He Might Have Perished as a Tramp—Worries Other Crowned Heads. Significant indeed are the signs of the times when the most resolute of junkers and most loyal of monarchists seriously and publicly discuss the question of William von Hohenolzlern's sanity. For many years, indeed ever since early in his reign, opponents have impugned his sanity. They have recalled the acknowledged strain of insanity which showed itself in former generations of his family, and have also stressed the well-known fact that for nearly all his life he has suffered from a chronic and most severe affection of the ear, which might readily involve a lesion of the brain. But now it is not his foes but his friends who are saying these things. The most sensational or such utterances appears in that stanchest of monarchist papers, the "Berliner Staatsbuerger Zeitung," which gives conspicuous place to a communication obviously from an important and authoritative source. In part it follows: "A mere layman is generally quite incapable of detecting any mental danger, or, if he does perceive it, of giving the sufferer suitable treatment. When, some twenty years ago, I visited an asylum for the insane in the Rhenish provinces, and was shown by the director through all his wards, I was so strangely affected that I actually began to doubt my own mental sanity, and finally asked if there really existed any mentally normal men. The director was open to conviction. It seemed as though he had expected my question or as though he himself had often thought of it. (Incidentally, ten years later he himself became insane.) He replied that perfectly normal men were in fact very rare. But to this circumstance he attached little importance. In the world there go about men who, though abnormal, are not suspected of insanity. Confined in the asylums are the patients who are dangerous to the community, though some of them may seem sane. "That the violent insane are dangerous to the community needs no detailed explanation. Many patients need only the temporary care of an asylum. The Ex-Kaiser's Mania. "The ex-kaiser suffers from psychopathic vagans, or traveling mania. An internal unrest urged him to lead a vagrant life. Men afflicted with this disease are not capable of performing their duties in regulated work. Had William been born as a laborer he might have perished as a tramp. As a member of the middle class he could have become, under certain circumstances, a capable commercial traveler. His abnormality became dangerous for the community only through the circumstance that, in accordance with tradition and usage, he had to adopt the calling of his father and lead the destinies of a people of 60,000,000, which he was not able at all to do. That the thing went wrong was really not his fault, but the fault of the monarchial German constitution, which does not intrust the direction of the reich to the most capable but to the man designated by birth. "When the ex-kaiser fled to Holland his passion moved him to disregard safety with his big traveling automobile. Holland is a little country and the imperial car ran at a speed of 80 kilometers an hour, and the imperial horn signal sounding everywhere made the Hollanders nervous. The Dutch government thereupon, without a moment's hesitation, interned the kaiser in its Amerongen castle. The order for confinement was diplomatically made, for the alleged reason that only in this way could the Dutch government assure the kaiser's safety. The confinement to the premises of the castle was for the patient the hardest blow of his life. Since then he has spent a great part of the day roaming about in the wood and in the mendows, or reading books of travel so as to procure for himself a substitute for his passion. Nut on Traveling. Traveling was to such a degree a fixed idea of the kaiser that when affairs of state or the fact that there was no one to be visited, made traveling impossible to him he sometimes passed a night in his parlor car, which stood in the railroad preserve, only five minutes from his new palace, under the pretext that he had to be in Berlin at an impossible hour the next morning. At the beginning of the summer of 1895 he indulged in this strange pastime until one evening in June the empress found the courage, when he was about driving to the station, to threaten that she would visit him in his bachelor abode. William then for several months abandoned this habit, and this was fortunate because a conspiracy threatened to break out among the domestics, who did not care to sleep so often in their clothes. They threatened to inform members of the left in the rechagst about his majesty's wandering and tell them that the entire railway traffic was much de Soap Kept In Bond. Up to less than seventy years ago all soap manufactured in England was made in bond and subject to duty, and each boiling pan was fastened down at night by an excise officer. Record Long Word. It has been reported that a word of 182 syllables has been found in the Sanskrit. The report does not include a translation of the word. ranged when his majesty passed the night in the station. "More than a hundred officials and workingmen are awake tonight owing to the kalser's caprice of sleeping in his car." Count Eulenberg said to me one evening. "Impossible! A hundred persons!" "A hundred and more—the list has passed through my hands. Just consider for a moment the work; freight trains have to be shifted on a siding and passenger trains have to run slower, as the usual signals, the whistle of the locomotives and the ringing of the bells, are not allowed. The number of employees has to be doubled in order to prevent accidents." "The first imperial travels were to St. Petersburg, Vienna, Copenhagen, London. In Copenhagen the emperor declared that he liked it there so much that he would return every summer. The Danish king almost fell from his chair. If one considers that Denmark is but a small country and that the king of this minor state has only limited means at his disposal, one will understand his dismay. In consideration of the Danish poverty the czar, whenever he visited his father-in-law, paid liberally the cost incurred by him and his retinue. The German emperor, however, whose retinue consisted of 60 heads, never spoke of money. He rather asked military parades, warship salutes, gala opera, banquets and the like. No wonder that a panic broke out when the puffed-up Berliners announced themselves. Subsequently, whenever the kaiser proposed a visit to Copenhagen the Danish ambassador in Berlin was directed to call attention to the sickness of the queen, who needed rest, and ask that the visit should be postponed. "Czar Alexander was more outspoken in his refusal of William's visits. He, to be sure, had no reason to fear that the Berlinders would eat him poor and bare, as at the court of Copenhagen, nor could he allege as an excuse that the czarina was not strong enough to stand the excitement of such visits. The czar simply wrote to his Berlin ambassador that he refused to be disturbed in his retirement by that young man of Berlin. When Bismarck during a discussion smuggled this letter into the kaiser's hands William grew pale after perusing it." The appearance of this astonishing publication in one of the strongest Prussian monarchial organs has aroused speculation upon its possible connection with the forthcoming second marriage of the ex-kaiser, to which most of his family, and especially his eldest son, the former crown prince, are known to be violently opposed. There is even gossip that a Hobenzollern family council may declare the ex-kaiser non compos mentis, and therefore incapable of reclaiming the throne, whereupon the succession would pass to the crown prince. PAYS 40 CENTS A "CUSS" Judge Invokes 1794 Law and Man Pays $2.01 Fine. It now costs 67 cents per violation for breaking the third commandment; common or garden variety of profanity is 40 cents a cuss at Patterson, Pa. Squire March, in trying Tom Burns for swearing at Miss Alice Jackson, unearthed the following blue law passed in 1794: "If any person of the age of sixteen years or upward shall profane, curse or swear by the name of God, Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, every person so offending shall pay the sum of 67 cents for each profane, curse or oath. Persons swearing by other names than the aforementioned shall pay 40 cents for each curse word uttered." After perusing this venerable ordinance and hearing what Burns is alleged to have said to Miss Jackson, the squire collected $2.01 from the offender. BRAZILIANS TAKE UP RADIO Powerful Broadcasting Station at Rio Janeiro. The radiophone craze, while now becoming an old story in the United States and other countries, has just hit Rio Janeiro. A powerful broadcasting station has been erected on the summit of Mount Corcovado, overlooking the city, and besides the government buildings many commercial and private houses are being outfitted with receiving sets with which to "listen in" on the daily programs of concerts, news reports and lectures.

The quest of wild honey has enticed hundreds of unemployed into the Snoqualmie National forest in Washington, and men are reported to be able to locate two to three bee trees every day. The bees prefer to hive up in a tall hollow cedar, but are also found in other kinds where lightning or natural deformities have caused cracks or crevices. The bees are not wild in reality, but are derelict swarms breaking away from domesticated colonies. The amount of honey found in some trees is prodigious. A big cedar opened up near Baring one day revealed a column of beeswax ten feet long and from ten inches to two feet thick. Nearly five tubs of comb-honey was removed and strained. Not Well to Be Too Observing. A person who is too nice an observer of the business, of the crowd, like one who is too close in observing the labor of the bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.—Pope. A Specialist. Young Doctor (introducing his only patient to a friend) "Mr. Brandel—my practice."-Fliegende Blatter. The Vanquishing of Nancy (® by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) You are raising this terrible dust?" Thus Nancy improvised, her head the least bit aside, her eyes dancing wickedly at sight of Lauren, most abject of all her thrails. He stood half way between door and window seat, his mouth mutinous, his eyes glowery. A letter had preceded him—the kind of letter jealousy writes and seals with a threat. Lauren had indeed threatened the empress of his heart that unless she ceased aspiring for universal masculine dominion, he was going to cut and run for it—she could take him, else have him leave her for good and always. He had thought he really meant it—but all the way to the Fitch place he had been in blue funk, fearing she might also think so. Suppose she should take him at his word, give back ring and plunge even more badly into a sea of summer flirtations? That would be hard—she was already hitting on all six cylinders that way, according to the gossip of Blainhill. A select suburb, home of families boasting super-finished daughters, naturally it disapproved of their being put out of court by an upstart without a single accomplishment. True, Nancy danced like a willow in the wind, but never bothered as to steps. She rode in any old costume she happened to be wearing, played golf with as little regard to sartorial requirements, and at auction "bid her hand" without regard for anybody's rules or signals. Also and further she called sports clothes loud, even vulgar, flip hats messy and beady things savage. Notwithstanding, she managed to look always like a picture, and to have all the most eligible beautx at her beck and call. Aggravating, considering her status as an accident. If the street had not got most of the Jennings' money, Nancy and obedient Granny would never have had a chance to snap up the Jennings' cottage for a year. The rector had vouchered for them—a work of supererogation, considering their bank account. Its lusthood possibly made them so little of stickers for the social mint, anise, and cummin. Granny's world beginning and ending in Nancy, yet in its kindly round embraced all who were in need of kindness. Still—she wouldn't Join things—not the village improvement, the special Provident, the mothers' circle, nor even the library association. "We shall stay only until Nancy gets to wanting somewhere else," she explained. "Of course we'll do our part—but as outsiders—then there won't be any trouble leaving." That had been lived up to. Her gardener had furnished plants for all the gardens whose owners lacked wherewithal to buy them—by help of the rector she was a very special individual providence—new babies might have howled down blessing on her gray head, so soft and plenteous were the layettes she supplied. The library was different. The Fitches had brought books aplenty—the they bought few new ones, so had evidently none to spare. If Nancy wanted to dip into the latest sensation it was sent her from some city agency under special contract. Granny read little beyond her Bible, prayer book and the morning paper. The paper kept her from stagnating, she said. What more could an old woman desire? She stopped midway the heavy leader she was conscientiously wading through to ask plaintively: "Laury, do you know anything about stocks? or bucket shops?" "Enough to let them alone," Laury growled, glad deep down of the stay in his progress Nancyward. Nancy sat up very straight, saying primly to Granny: "Don't tempt innocence, Grannykins, I know you're a born gambler at heart. It's your head that won't let you play the market. Everybody hasn't got such a head. Take care to set a proper example." "Now, ain't that Satan reproving sin? Laury, she has bought herself another bracelet, with her winsights at the Eton bridge last week," Granny complained. Lauren looked relieved—Nancy made a face at Granny. "I'm glad to know," he said, "been wondering where it came from since yesterday—" "And thinking it came by the Ben-Bob Bobo route," Nancy broke in. "Be ashamed of yourself for a sillykin as though I'd wear any trumpery thing you idols here would choose." "Even a ring? Like this?" Laurie questioned, moving close enough to drop a fine plain small box in Nancy's lap. She opened it gingerly, took out what it held, but did not slip it upon her dimple finger—instead held it up so the light winking through its thready gold, struck rainbows from the two diamonds of clearest water, set delicately at the ends of the gold thread. After a long look she said softly: "Apologies, Laurie. The ring is inspired. Where, oh, where did you find it?" "Didn't find it—had it made to order—my own design," Laurie stammered. Then suddenly "But it is inspired—by you." "Well said! Well done, young sirl!" Nancy countered in her most sparkling elderly manner. "What a pity you have Safety "Yes," said Mrs. Plugleigh, "I always keep my dog tied up. I never can be sure when some tramp might come along and bite him or steal his bone—Richmond Times-Dispatch. Daily Thought The best portion of a good man's life are his little nameless unremembered acts of kindness.—Wordsworth THE MONITOR Forsworn me. I wonder what you will do with it?" "Throw $\textcircled{R}$ in the river—unless I can put it where it belongs." Lauyria cried, catching her hand and trying to unclinch it. The fingers, strong for all their dimples, balked him; nothing short of violence would suffice to straighten them. Swiftly he knelt, and covered them with kisses. Nancy tried to snatch her hand away, but Laury held it with a firm, gentle varying clasp that yielded without loosing. "Let go my hand," she said imperatively after a minute of tacit struggle. He smiled at her silently—his eyes saying for his lips: 'Don't you see I can't?' The look made Nancy furious—it was so near to upsetting her determination. He ought by rights to rage at her—then she could flout, and deny him to her wicked vanity's full content. She had no thought of letting him go free—then nor ever. But neither did she intend to let him vanquish her in fair game—he must make a proper submission before he might hone for pardon. He did nothing of the sort. Instead, he rose slowly to full height—six foot two, one hand still holding hers, the other stretched protectingly around her, the emblem and sign manual of loving strength. "You are the very best girl in all the world," he said. "Trouble is, you need such a lot of making. Because I've shown myself all sorts of a fool, you've no need to try matching me. There! That's better—why! the ring fits perfectly," slipping it in place upon the member she had involuntarily unflexed, and again lifting it to his lips. A move that cost him something—namely, a hard sidewise blow that gashed his cheek with a point of the diamond nearest. Blood spurted from the slash, spotting Nancy's white frock, even staining her furious fingers. "Sight of it turned her white, sick, faint—she would have sunk to the floor but for his compelling hold. He felt her breast heave, saw tears gather and fall, heard Granny cry out in alarm—then the world went black for him, also; he barely managed to stumble toward the davenport, and fell, rather than sat down. But the blackness lightened at Nancy's cry: "Lauray I—I hurt you—but hurt myself—worse," as she stained the red flow with her soft handkerchief under which she pressed her softer lips. GIRL IS HALTED BY "SUICIDE CURE" Plan Devised by Police Proves Successful in Case of Woman Seeking Death. Los Angeles, Calif.-A "sulcide cure" devised by the Los Angeles police department, has proved its efficacy in the few cases where opportunity has been afforded to apply it. It consists of a demonstration to the person who desires to end his life that no matter how dreary and unbeatable existence seems to him, there are others who face greater troubles without even the thought of resorting to self-destruction. The most recent exposition of the value of the "cure" was in the case of a young woman who had quarreled with her fiance. She decided life was no longer worth the living. She THE BOY IN THE JAIL Was Shown Women Charged With Murder. wrote a note to her mother that she was on the way to a beach resort to drown herself. To reach the resort she had to pass through Los Angeles. Her mother notified the police of her city and they notified the Los Angeles police. The result was the latter met the train which the young woman thought was taking her to death. The policewoman to whom the young woman was turned over said little directly bearing upon the latter's case, but immediately started upon a "personally conducted" tour of the city and county jails and the homes for unfortunate young women. The would-be suicide was shown girl mothers who had no husbands; girl wives who had been deserted by their husbands; girl wives seeking divorces from their husbands; girls and women charged with various felonies, including murder. The point was soon driven home. "I see what a fool I was," said the young woman taking the tour. "I can never thank you sufficiently. I am going right home to mother and be a good girl."

THE FASHION WEEKLY BARRY MELTON She's a goodly portion of the reason why next week's big musical show at the popular Gavety is called "Keep Smiling." Bert Lahr and Harry Kay Will See to it that You Continue Grinning Smiles, laughs, tuneful songs and graceful dances, are a few of the outstanding features of James E. Cooper's music-girl revue, "Keep Smiling", which occupies the stage of the popular Gayetey theatre for the week beginning Saturday afternoon. This show is another of those delightful entertainments the Columbia Circuit is offering its patrons this season, and it is credited with being among the very best. The piece is in two big acts and nine scenes, including a prologue. Wm. K. Wells, who has contributed many successes to this circuit, has both written and staged the piece. Melville Morris and Hal Dyson have composed the tuneful numbers while Raymond B. Perez has staged the maze of dances. There are 17 musical numbers of theingly, singable variety and they are interpreted by a cast and chorus who can really sing. Advance heralding for "Keep Smiling" promises Bert Lahr, the clever German dialectician, as the featured comedian with Harry Kay as his associate in merrymaking. Dick Pritchard, Leo Pelletier and David Woods will play essential roles in "The Land of the Sun God," and will also offer a singing speciality. Lillian Rockley, the prima donna, comes highly recommended as a soprano of great personal charm. Miss Barry Melton sings "blues" in a manner all her own and Mercides LaFay is rated as one of the liveliest of soubrettes. With Emily Dyer, ingeneue, these ladies will lead the chorus in musical numbers while fine raiment will dazzle the beholders of what is in reality a fashion show. Special scenery and lighting effects will keep the stage in constant transition from one beautiful setting to another as the fun proceeds. Luke From Pineapple Leaves.
