DEMOCRATS SEEM TO BE TROUBLING POLITICAL POOL Strategy of Tammany and Chicago Bosses Who Are Recognizing the Potential Value of Race Vote. EFFECT THE REPUBLICANS Believed That Bid for Race Vote by Astute Politicians of Major Parties Will Have Important Result. Chicago, July 3.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Did you ever run into a hornet's nest? The experience, to say the least, is invigorating, and not soon to be forgotten. One may be basking in the sunshine of sweet memories and delightful anticipations, only to be rudely awakened by the mad dart of the fiery hornet, by instinct with a vengeance, set to protect his baliwick. Democratic strategy has awakened republican indifference, and the colored voters are in the position of the proverbial hornet's nest—being the said nest—with the republicans the hornet, and the democrats, the bare-footed boy who is scampering over the farm, and with the poke of a long stock, seeks to discover "What's on the inside?" Republicans regard colored America as their rightful heritage. It is like a man having so much of everything that he feels it unnecessary to bother, and then some day he awakens to the fact that what he is supposed to have has slipped away. Thanks to eight years of Woodrow Wilson and an attempted lily white policy of the early Harding regime, the "always certain and dependable" colored vote was well on the road to "Nevermore" in the republican party. Unselfish leaders—not always political—came out boldly denouncing the trend of events. Newspapers from one end of the country to the other, called the G. O. P., as conducted, bitter names, and on and on rose the tide of opposition. Democrats in big centers took advantage of this disaffection. Tammany, under Ferdinand Q. Morton and his associates in New York, made a practical appeal to the racial voters, and got away with it. They nominated a man for the legislature, and elected him. The late Tammany leader, Murphy, talked with the present Chicago leader, Brennon, and told him the fun he was having appealing to the colored vote. Brennon sat up and "took notice", with the results that the democratic party went after the colored vote in the mayoral campaign, as it had never done before in Chicago, and got away with it. Patterson, Grey, Dickerson and others were given outstanding positions in the city government. Now comes Brennon, waiting until the psychological moment in New York during the democratic national convention, and announces that the regular white democratic nominee for Congress from the First District—which is four to one color—has withdrawn on account of his health, and that Attorney Earl Dickerson will be named to take his place. That announcement means that Congressman Martin B. Madden will have the bitterest fight of his entire career in order to hold his seat as a member of the United States Congress. All political observers declare that Brennon is playing the "cleverest game of his life". Dickerson is an unusually high class, intelligent, popular and successful man. He has that which promises to elect Calvin Coolidge, personal appeal. Party appeal will mean nothing to the majority voters in Chicago, when it comes to voting for a man like Dickerson. Congressman Madden and his co-workers will have to dig down in the library of politics and bring out some new leads. This will be done, but the hornet's nest has been stirred up. It would, indeed, be the darnedest irony of if the next colored Congressman, since the passing of the late George H. White, of North Carolina, in 1901, should be a colored democrat from Chicago, Taggart, of Indiana, while the Ku Klux republicans failed to nominate a colored man for the legislature in Indianapolis, has placed one on the democratic ticket in Indiana. The question is on which is the more preferable, a Negro democrat or a Ku Klux republican? Indiana will give the answer to that little question. In the mean time, the republicans, nationally, under Chairman William M. Butler and Secretary Roy O. West, with their grand galaxy of associates, are facing the issue seriously. They are not scoffing at either advice or suggestions. They are listening to the words of the most humble citizens on the way to bring back the straying sheep to the fold. They are not starting with the hand wave of indifference, no, no. They are accepting the situation just as it is—the hardest fight in the history of American THE MONITOR STRIKERS ARE BACKING NEGRO VALEDICTORIAN Darby, Pa., July 4.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—The Darby school board, and not Hilda Bolden, manager of the famous Hildale ball team, appointed as valedictorian, is the object of the threatened "strike" by more than half the members of the Darby high school graduating class. Seniors admit that Hilda Bolden attained the highest scholastic standing but charged the board failed to take the students into their confidence in changing the standard on which appointment of a valedictorian is based. Heretofore, according to the insurgent group, the board took into consideration the activity of the eligible students along extra-curriculum lines, in addition to scholarship attainment. Early during the school year now ended, it is said, the board voted to name as valedictorian of the class, the student who had attained the highest grades. This action was not made known to the students until a month ago, and was followed shortly by announcement that Hilda Bolden would be valedictorian of the class. The dissatisfied 'element' of the senior class and student body claims the honor should have gone to Polly Baccini, a white girl, who, in addition to earning high marks in her studies, was for three years a member, and this year, captain of the hockey team, secretary of student government, secretary of the athletic association, editor of the White Bulletin, the student publication, and president of the art club. Polly, who was named salutarian, said she herself expects to attend the commencement exercises, and claims the attitude of many of her supporters is indicative of "poor sportmanship." "I do not," she says, "and am sure most of the others who are protesting do not, begrudge Hilda Bolden the honor, because her grades were really highest. "This is a school which all races are free to attend and where they should receive equal treatment. To embarrass Hilda Bolden is poor sportsmanship." Hilda doesn't blame Polly for the split in the ranks of the graduating class. "It is a most unfortunate occurrence," she said, "but I hope that by the time commencement is held the class will be reunited in spirit. The board found, after figuring it out, that I had the highest number of credits and received 'E's all through the four years in all except three subjects. Eighty credits are needed for graduation, and I received 117." Walter R. Douthett, superintendent of the Darby schools, said so far as he knows, the board will stand by its ruling and the matter is a "closed incident". "I announced the change in the board's rule for choice of a valedictorian," said Conrad T. Wadli, principal of the high school, "and that rule apparently stands." DAVAGE ELECTED PRESI DENT CLARK UNIVERSITY Cincinnati, Ohio, July 3.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—As an evidence of the Methodist Episcopal Church to not only educate the Negro, but to also use him, Dr. I. Garland Penn, one of the secretaries of the board of education, announces the unanimous election of President Matthew S. Davage to the presidency of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., at a recent meeting of the executive committee on Negro schools and colleges. Dr. Davage is a Negro and succeeds Dr. J. W. Simmons, white, who resigned. The committee selected Dr. Davage not because he is a Negro, but on his record as an educator in the system and in conformity with the policy of the board in advancing those who have proven their worth by actual results as presidents, principals and professors in the system. President-elect Davage has been president at various times of fair institutions of the system being promoted now to Clark from Rust College, Holly Springs. As an administrator, Dr. Davage is held in high esteem. The board has authorized the inauguration of a law school at Clark so that this experienced educator of the race enters upon the presidency of Clark at the period of largest responsibility as well as largest opportunity. There are other great advances being made in the system following the last General Conference which will be announced through the Associated Negro Press service from time to time. politics. That's the fact. The national democrats during the Cleveland campaign in 1884, and again during the Wilson first campaign of 1912, made a strong bid for colored votes, and got them, to a considerable extent. Those, too, were the days of party fealty. It took nerve, then, to be a democrat, even white in the North, but conditions have changed materially. Republicans have learned wisely and well that "Sure, I must fight if I would reign; increase my courage, Lord." Children of Washington Salute the National Colors Underwood & Underwood A Picturesque Sight Is the Salute to the Flag—the Daily Custom of the Children Who Live at the Marine Barracks in Washington—and as the Flag is Lowered Each Evening and the Bugle Is Blown, These Tiny Children Have Learned to Salute the Stars and Stripes With the Spirit of Soldiers. NEW YORK MANSION THAT FIGURED IN REVOLUTION De Voe House Has Sheltered Famous Figures of the Early Days. Now Occupied by Granddaughter of Patriot Who Rendered Valuable Services to the Country. Long before the days when Times square had acquired the dignity of a pasture a sturdy white house was erected on the slope of a hill near the Harlem river at a point now known as Highbridge district, the New, York Herald-Tribune says. It was a simple structure, with patriarchal porch and massive paneled doors fashioned to resist sudden attack. Loophole shutters were hung ready for emergency, the chimney was constructed of brick brought from England and to the handful of neighbors it was regarded as the last word in modern dwellings. They referred to it with civic pride when entertaining visitors from the seaport metropolis of New York. Today the same house rests amid blocks of towering apartments. Few passersby are aware that it is the home of a granddaughter of the Revolution or realize the important part it had in the making of this nation. The floors creaked often under the stately tread of Washington, the courtly Lafayette danced the minuet there, while the bluff Rochambeau, soldier fashion, toasted success to war from many a flagon while seated in its dining room. Memories of Lafayette. "I can well remember the stories my grandfather told of Lafayette. So gentle, so merry, yet so brave, the marquas was the favored one of all," said Mrs. Emma C. De Voe, granddaughter of the Revolution, who dwells in this house of glorious memories. Mrs. De Voe is eighty-four years old. Her grandfather was Andrew Corsa, who died about the middle of the last century. He was the last of the Westchester guides, that troop of hardy men who braved death by the noose to circumvent the enemy and swore by the steel to ask no quarter in battle. They were the eyes and ears of the Continental army in this section. The story of Andrew Corsa, whose picture hangs in the front room, with an ivory card of invitation to Washington's inauguration thrust in a corner of the frame, reads like a chapter from one of Cooper's novels. At the age of sixteen he was rendering important services to scouting parties that approached the British lines. A few years later he was riding at the right hand of the leader of the Colonial forces, a trusted adviser during the campaign before New York in 1781, toward the close of the Revolution. Son of Stanch Tory. As the records which Mrs. De Voe OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JULY 4, 1924 Washington Salute the N ute to the Flag—the Daily Custom of the Child as the Flag is Lowered Each Evening and the ute the Stars and Stripes With the Spirit of Se exact knowledge of the country his services were of prime importance. For hours he was constantly on horseback, giving counsel to Washington, Rochambeau, Lanzan and other generals while they passed through the fields of Morrisania, Fordham and Yonkers. "Now we come to an incident which I always liked to hear grandfather describe, for, young as I was, it appeared highly humorous and he had such a droll way of telling it. Grandfather was mounted on a spirted horse, noted for speed, but which never before had been under fire. When the allies, marching east near the Bronx river, came in sight of the enemy the fire which the British artillery opened upon them was so terrible that the horse turned tall and galloped for safety behind the old Morrisania mill. With great difficulty grandfather managed to rein him'in. Looking back, he saw Washington, Rochambeau and the other officers riding calmly along, as though nothing unusual was occurring. He forced his mount to return and resumed his place in the order of march. The officers, with good-natured laughter, welcomed him back. "At the termination of the engagement Washington was loud in his praise of this boy, whose knowledge of the country had been of so great assistance. This is shown by the official letters that grandfather received. "Every member of the Westchester guides was a personal friend of his. He himself was the youngest member of the company." Washington Frequent Visitor Even in the busy years which marked the real formation of the republic Washington did not forget the hospitality of the De Voe house, and several times he was a guest there while making tours of the old campaign ground. One of the chairs, now standing at rigid attention against the wall, was a prime favorite with the general, and a scar on one of the arms is said to have been made by his sword hilt. The old clock by which he measured the length of his visits stands in the hall with folded hands. A wooden pin in its once busy mechanism has gone awry, so the ancient timepiece silently faces the door which has opened to the touch of so many notables. To the Marquils of Lafayette the house had a fascination which extended into the days of his old age. He had learned to look upon it as a haven wherein to cast aside the cares in war. So many thrilling facts associated with the birth of the nation are clustered about the little white house and the family which has occupied it from one generation to another until the present it would need a volume to chronicle all of them. The De Voes, who helped to carve history with their swords, have been in this country since 1677. The first to make his home in the New world was Frederick De Voe, or, as the name then was spelled, De Veaux. His lands extended over many acres. Now the homestead, with its bit of land, shelters only the granddaughter of the Revolution and her son, Chauncey De Voe. To her son Mrs. De Voe is the "most remarkable mother in the universe." As he bends to say good night, while she places her hand upon his silvering hair, it seems as if the days of Lafayette himself had returned to the house on the Harlem. possesses show, when the Revolutionary troubles began Capt. Isaac Corsas, father of Andrew, held a commission under the crown and remained a stanch Tory to the end of the conflict. His estate comprised the land now occupied by St. John's college, a short distance from the scenes of his son's romance. He was unbending in his belief that the king could do no wrong. From the early days of the struggle for independence young Andrew looked askance at his father's scarlet cont, and his zeal for American liberty overcame all family considerations. "Acquainted with all the passages about Kingsbridge, Fordham and Morrisania, my grandfather's services were anxiously sought," continued Mrs. De Voe, referring to a memorandum which she had at hand. "In the summer of 1781, after the allied forces had been encamped upon the heights of Greenburg for several weeks, Washington and Rochanbeam made ready for a formidable movement toward the lines of the enemy. Those were trying days indeed, I can well remember hearing grandfather say when talking about the war. It seems like yesterday that he sat in his great chair sketching old battle plans on the ground with his cane. I was a very small girl at the time. "Count Matthew Dumas and several other young officers belonging to the French staff who had been mapping the country hereabouts were ordered to set out at daylight and to push forward until they came within sight of the enemy's most advanced redoubts at the northern end of Manhattan island. The command was given to Count Dumas, which Cornelius Oakley of White Plains was selected to act as principal guide, accompanied by his cousin, James Oakley, and by grand-father. Drove in British Outposts. "Below Milesquare the reconnotering party found a function with a body of American light infantry. The allied detachments then attacked and dispersed a strong patrol of British regulars and soon afterward drove across Kingsbridge the chasseurs that occupied the Hessian outposts. "Because of Grandfather Corsa's POLICE PROTECTION FOR NEGRO PRIZE SPEAKER Alton, Ill., July 3.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Propaganda to the effect that you only need to be recognized just like any other American was given a setback here last week when at graduating exercises featuring a Negro as the principal speaker, police were called to guard the school because of threatening anonymous letters the school officials had received because of the colored boy's presence on the program. The youth, Alexander Whitfield, 17, was awarded the honor on the basis of highest scholastic record for the four years he attended the high school, Announcement of the award was duly made. Since that time a great deal of discussion has been occasioned by the award, and the principal of the school, William H. Wheeler, has received a number of anonymous letters threatening to break up the graduating exercises should Whitfield be allowed to hold the honor. The letters were disregarded, but a request was made graduation night for police protection, and nine police officers, some in civilian clothes, were scattered about the auditorium and outside the building. The expected trouble failed to materialize, however, and Whitfield was allowed to deliver his address undisturbed. The annual school outing, a boat ride on the Mississippi, was held recently and Whitfield was barred from the celebration. The reason given by school authorities was that the boat company had a rule against Negroes being allowed on the boats. The anonymous letters and adverse comment were said to have come from sources outside the school, and a last-minute attempt to have the male members of the class refuse to appear on the platform during the exercises also failed. Ninety boys and girls, seven of whom were Negroes, were graduated from the school, and the exercises were witnessed by approximately 200 persons, of which number about five per cent were Negroes. WARNS TEACHERS ABOUT DISTINCTION OF CLASS AND RACE Youths Must Be Trained to Avoid Prejudice, Racial or Religious, Says Famous Orator to Educators. Washington, D. C., July 3.—Thousands of delegates from every state in the union arrived here for opening sessions of the National Education association's annual convention. Payson Smith, state commissioner of education of Massachusetts, addressed the delegates from the capitol steps. He warned against discriminating distinctions, asserting that the public schools "must train the youth to understand that democracy cannot he served through any instrumentality or agency that seeks to array class against class, group against group, the people of one creed against the people of another, or citizens of one racial derivation against citizens of another." In a speech Leon W. Goldrich of New York declared the public schools cannot teach different denominational rituals or creeds, and never should emphasize differences of race, color or religion. Teaching of "business morals" in schools was advocated by William B. Forbush, also of New York, who asserted that while the average school boy is not deliberately dishonest, "his motto is 'anything to get by'. He has adopted the political rather than the business standard as his code." Public schools should be transformed into character developing institutions, said Professor Edwin D. Starbuck of the University of Iowa. New York, July 3.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—A. H. Woods has contracted with the Brooks Mahleu company to costume the new "Plantation Revue" in which Florence Mills will be featured. The cost will be $25,000. This company has dressed "Shuffle Along," "Runin' Wild" and "In Bamville." GOOD HOUSING AIM Birmingham, Ala., July 3.—(Special to the Associated Negro Press.)—One thousand dollars in prizes will be awarded by the Interracial commission of this city for construction of Negro homes and the improvement of Negro communities, the contest to run from June 1, 1924, to June 1, 1925. The prizes are announced as follows: A—For best group of Negro houses constructed by owners, contractors or real estate operators, but not industrial corporations. B—For best home built by a Negro himself. C—For greatest improvement in a Negro community made by the residents thereof. D—For best home in the winning community from the standpoint of health and sanitation. GROWING THANK YOU Vol. X—No. 1 MOOREFIELD STOREY CONGRESSMAN DYER ADDRESS MEETING National Advancement Association's Fifteenth Annual Conference Proves Most Notable Gathering. HAYES SPINGARN MEDALIST Singer Who Has Achieved Distinction in United States and Europe Selected for Special Philadelphia, July 3.—With delegates in attendance from more than thirty states, including Georgia, Oklahoma, Colorado, Tennessee, South Carolina, and most of the eastern states, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People opened its fifteenth annual conference in Philadelphia with a mass meeting in the First African Methodist church at which the outstanding features were addresses by Moorfield Storey, national president of the association, and Congressman L. C. Dyer. At this meeting, too, a greeting was read from President Coolidge expressing "my good wishes to your splendid organization and my hopes for the fullest realization of its high purposes." Welcome to the conference in behalf of the city of Philadelphia was extended by Charles Hall, president of the city council, and by Isadore Martin, president of the Philadelphia branch of N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Hall took occasion during his address of welcome to deliver a vigorous denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan for which he said there was no place in America. Bishop John Hurst, presiding officer at the opening mass meeting, charged that Southern sentiment was dominating the nation despite Northern victory in the Civil War, and asserted that the time had come for Negroes to stand together and make common cause for their rights. Mr. Storey in his address, reviewed the growth of the N. A. A. C. P. from a small committee to a membership of 100,000, and asserted that it rested with colored people whether the campaign for their full citizenship rights was to be carried victoriously onward by the N. A. A. C. P. Commenting upon President Coolidge's message of greeting to the N. A. A. C. P., Mr. Storey said: "There is a very simple way of testing President Coolidge's wishes for the realization of our high aims. Let us test the President in the matter of segregation in the government departments in Washington. It began under President Wilson. It can end under Coolidge." Representative Dyer in a fiery attack upon "the most cowardly republican senators who have ever been in office" urged colored voters to vote upon the basis of present issues, not the Civil War. He asserted that not by the action of a republican but through the efforts of a member of the Farmer-Labor party the case of Walter Cohen had been reconsidered and Mr. Cohen confirmed as customs collector at the port of New Orleans. He charged Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania with giving more attention to the world court than to his colored constituents and denounced the Ku Klux Klan. "I will not vote for or support," said Mr. Dyer, "for any office, anyone who is a member of or countenances the Ku Klux Klan. If I lived in Indiana, I would not vote for the republican candidate for governor because he owes his nomination to the Klan." Spingarn Medal to Roland Hayes. The Spingarn medal, it was announced at the N. A. A. C. P. conference, goes this year to the greatest singer of his race, Roland Hayes, now triumphantly touring European cities. In Mr. Hayes' absence, it was arranged to have the medal presented by Provost Josiah H. Penniman of the University of Pennsylvania, to a representative of Mr. Hayes. The committee making the award consists of Bishop John Hurst, chairman; Dorothy Canfield Fisher, author of "The Bent Twig", etc.; James H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes and Slater funds; John Hope, president of Morehouse College; Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of The Crisis. Roland Hayes, to whom the Spingarn medal goes, has achieved unique distinction, having been hailed by leading critics in Europe and America as one of the greatest of living artists of any race. Born June 3, 1887, at Curryville, Georgia, Hayes was working as a stove molder when his voice was discovered by Mr. Calhoun, a colored singer, who urged him to study and gave him his first instruction. Roland Hayes worked his way through Fiske University, coming North with the Fiske Jubilee Singers and remained to study in Boston, (Continued on Page Three.)

PREPAREDNESS PREPAREDNESS is a word that was much used a few years ago. The main idea which was then emphasized was preparedness for war. It was realized that when the United States was drawn into the World War the country was not prepared for it. There was, therefore, much haste and waste in making provision for the conflict. We are not now concerned with the wisdom or unwisdom of our participation in the war. The point that we would make is that when war was declared the United States was not prepared for it, and so the necessity and wisdom of preparedness was stressed. We desire to stress preparedness now for our people and especially our young people. They should prepare themselves according to their inclination and ability to take their part in the world's work, so that when the call for service comes or the opportunity offers they will be prepared. The signs of the times indicate that the prepared man or woman will find his or her place. So be prepared. Preparedness for any field of human endeavor, and thorough preparedness, should be our aim. What others have done we can do. Be prepared for your opportunity when it comes. WHAT DOES IT PORTEND? ALMOST unbelievable things are coming to pass in political affairs. Who would have dared dream even a few short years ago that a Negro would be a delegate to a national Democratic Convention? And yet this has come to pass in this memorable year. Its significance cannot be fully grasped. Who would have imagined that a Negro would be nominated for Congress on the Democratic ticket? But that is just what has happened in Chicago. Earl Dickerson, a clean, capable, upstanding young attorney, is the choice of Chicago's democracy to make the race against Congressman Madden in the First District. This is another tremendously significant fact. Call it all politics, if you please, and so it is, but it shows that the party that not so long ago did not regard the Negro with favor politically is now beginning to recognize him as a potential factor and is bidding for his support in the North at least. This is as incredible as it may seem, must eventually have its effect upon the South, the stronghold of the Democratic party. Who can foretell what the outcome will be? Strange things happen in political affairs. The unexpected frequently comes to pass. SOUND DOCTRINE SANE, sensible and sound is the message that Payson Smith, state commissioner of education of Massachusetts, delivered to delegates to the National Education Association last Sunday afternoon from the capitol steps at Washington. He said that the youth of the land must be trained to avoid prejudice, racial, class or religious. The message of Leon W. Goldrich, of New York, another prominent educator, was along the same line, when he stated that "The public schools cannot teach different denominational ritual or creeds and never should emphasize differences of race, color or religion." These prominent educators have the right idea concerning the public school system. If democracy is ever to be anything more than a beautiful A PRAYER FOR DELIVERY PRETEND By Morne (For the Association GOD, who hast made me who dost love all whom because of difference separate ourselves from other teach as the unity of Thy f Thy love. As Thy Son, our mother and ministered first of Israel, but rejoiced in the man and of a Roman soldier carried by a man of Africa, t serving our own, to enter into human family; and forbid the hardness of heart, we should O GOD, who hast made man in Thine own likeness and who dost love all whom Thou hast made, suffer us not, because of difference in race, color or condition, to separate ourselves from others, and thereby from Thee; but teach as the unity of Thy family and the universality of Thy love. As Thy Son, our Savior, was born of an Hebrew mother and ministered first to His brethren of the House of Israel, but rejoiced in the faith of a Syro-Phoenician woman and of a Roman soldier, and suffered His cross to be carried by a man of Africa, teach us, also, while loving and serving our own, to enter into the communion of the whole human family; and forbid that, from pride of birth and hardness of heart, we should despise any for whom Christ died, or injure any in whom He lives. Amen. PAGE TWO theory in these United States it must be taught by precept and example in the public school where children from all classes, creeds and colors meet on terms of equality and are instructed by teachers drawn from the cosmopolitan citizenry of the country. Schools have no right to "emphasize differences of race, color or religion." How can the youth of the land be trained to avoid prejudice when they are not permitted to pursue their studies in the same schools? SPINGARN MEDALIST SATISFACTION will no doubt be quite general over the selection of Roland Hayes as the Spingarn medalist. This medal is awarded yearly to the person of African descent who in the judgment of the committee of award has done the most meritorious and outstanding work for racial advancement during the year. There are so many of our group who are doing outstanding things of merit that it is exceedingly difficult to award this coveted badge of distinction. Roland Hayes who has scored a great victory in musical circles, both in the United States and in Europe, where he is at present winning laurels before critical musical audiences, is undoubtedly the premier artist in his line and is justly entitled to the award. Roland Hayes' triumph over difficulties, which seemed almost insurmountable, should prove an inspiration to our youth who are inclined to hesitate to aspire because of outward limitations. It is a high honor to receive the Spingarn medal for it is a badge of distinction work by merit, the result of diligent, painstaking hard work. THE IRONY OF FATE THE IRONY of fate is revealed by the heated fight in the national democratic convention over a Ku Klux Klan plank. The Klan is the child of the South, the stronghold of the democrats. It was planned to "maintain white supremacy", which is the South's slogan. It was organized, primarily to "keep 'the Nigger" in its place". Had its organizer been content with that, there would have been nothing or little done about it. It would have been permitted to carry on its damnable, cowardly work, practically without let or hindrance. Negroes who protested against its villains would have been classed as "agitator", "radicals", or charged with being "too sensitive" about this "patriotic" society, because it excluded Negroes who want "social equality", etc. But, alas alas, it extended its original boundaries to include "Kelks" and "Katholicks" as well as "Koons". It took in too much territory. And so it is considered worthy of attention. This offspring of Southern bigotry, given hospitality by like-minded persons in the North, is "a monster of such frightful mien, that to be hated needs but to be seen." The fight against it in the New York convention carries its own lesson. It is proving a Frankenstein. Cleveland, Ohio, July 3.—(By the Associated Negro Press.) —Mrd Grace Taylor, wife of Dr. J. H. Taylor, local physician, has just been awarded a judgment against Hoffman's Ice Cream Parlor, an exclusive Euclid avenue establishment. Discrimination was the charge. Mrs. Taylor is a sister of Mrs. F. B. Ransom of Indianapolis, Ind., wife of the operating head of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co. Addressing last Thursday night's mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in fifteenth Annual Conference in Philadelphia assembled, Hon. Ira W. Jayne, judge of the Circuit Court of Detroit, declared that he could "prove by established facts from the industrial centers of the North" that the Negro migrating from the South had made good in his new environment. Judge Jayne said in part: "Mr. Forrester B. Washington, recently of Detroit, now of the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia, surveyed the situation. His findings have been accepted as accurate by all elements of the community. These have been supplemented by similar reports in other cities. All these figures show the Negro the equal in productive value to any group, the superior of many. In the riveting and moulding industries he has broken production records so often, that it is no longer a novelty. "496 firms in Detroit employ 40,000 Negroes, in numbers ranging from 7,500 and 4,000 down to 10, at equal pay with whites and under equal working conditions. One-fifth of the postoffice force in Detroit are Negroes. Postmaster John B. Smith says they saved the day for uninterrupted service during the recent wage demoralization. 21,000 Negroes are employed in the steel industry in the Pittsburgh district. Negro workers perform the major work in the stockyards of Chicago. These same statistics show his employment to be as regular, his health in the North as good, his dependency no more frequent than that of any other racial group. His cheerfulness, once mistaken for laziness, has been recognized as willing loyalty, and what is more important and encouraging still, he is acquiring capital and the knack of management to enter the ranks of employers." Declaring that the Negro preferred "seven dollars a day in the North to seven dollars a week in the South" and "ten months equal schooling in the North to two months' slighted schooling in the South," Judge Jayne expressed the hope that the Negro who had come North would stay. "The Negro is a man. He is here. He is a working man, respected and respectable. I hope the Negro stays until he has learned all there is to know of this industrial system which is at once our salvation and our despair. I hope the Negro leavens its sordid dullness with that inexinguishable joy and rhythm which have brought him unscarred through the crucible of slavery and degradation. I hope the Negro leavens its selfish greed with his innate loyalty and faithfulness which have always been his even in his reputation among his enemies." VIRGIN ISLANDERS PROTEST APPOINTMENT New York, July 3.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—President Coolidge has been asked to intervene to prevent "the civic scandal and judicial disgrace" of having Governor Philip Williams of the Virgin Islands appoint George Washington Williams, the present U. S. government attorney in the islands, to the post of district judge. The request was made by a mass meeting of over 1,500 persons held under the auspices of the Associated Virgin Islands Societies at St. Mark's Hall, West 138th street last Sunday. A protest against the proposed appointment was also cabled Governor Philip Williams. The letter to President Coolidge, signed by Casper Holstein, chairman, declares that Washington Williams has "achieved an unsavory reputation as official propagandist for that very naval regime which inhabitants of the islands are now doing their best to get changed." Williams, according to the letter, has practised and defended the "gross abuses" involved in an identification of judicial and administrative functions in the same person.

Advertise in The Monitor! THE MONITOR PETS ARE GROWDED IN TOWN BY EMBARGO Foot-and-Mouth Disease Quarantine on California Has Humorous Side. Sacramento.—Noah and his ark had nothing on the little mountain town of Cottonwood, Cal., when it comes to numbers and varieties of animals on hand. The foot-and-mouth disease, which has raged in California for several months, but which now has been practically wiped out, has been a serious matter, but there has been some humor in the situation, at that—witness the present state of affairs at Cottonwood. State and federal guards are stationed at Cottonwood, near the Oregon border, to enforce quarantine regulations, which, among other things, forbid the transporting of animals and birds of any description into the state to the north. Tourists are halted by the score every day and those who are found to have their pet animals or birds with them are forced to leave them behind when crossing the state boundary. Dogs, cats, canaries, parrots, chickens, goats, guinea pigs, monkeys, gold fish, horses, cows—even ostrichs and a pet snake—all these have come under the quarantine ban. The result is Cottonwood's facilities for caring for animals and birds have become overtaxed. Many of the tourists passing through are wealthy and many of the pets are valuable. Result: The youngsters of Cottonwood are capling a rich harvest from the pocketbooks of travelers who hire them to care for their pets until they can return for them or have them shipped. Every yard in town, practically, is stocked with stranded birds and animals. Two Eastern women tourists, crossing Nevada state by automobile, were halted at the California line, in accordance with the rules, and were sent into one of several tents erected for occupancy of tourists while their clothing is disinfected. While the guards at the disinfecting station were busy with the women's garments, the wind sweeping in off the desert lifted the tent from over the waiting tourists and left them, screaming and marooned, until the guards could obtain blankets for them.

Foreigners Ship Into Philadelphia.—Foreign medical students have hit upon a new plan to evade the immigration quota set by the United States, by a circuitous route which leads through the back door of the schoolroom. Only by checking up the students' credentials with the closest scrutiny is the possibility of fraud in the quota being reduced to a minimum. This is the opinion of Dr. William Pepper, dean of the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania. "Bona fide students of recognized colleges and universities are not included in the quotas set on foreign countries by the United States, and for this reason we have an increased number of students coming from the war-ravaged territories. So universally is the status of a student held in high esteem that again and again we meet with someone trying to enter the country in that gulse. Digs Up 1835 Penny Troy, Kans.—While digging in his garden, a mile east of Troy, Lester O. Hathaway uncovered a penny bearing the date of 1855.

New York, July 3.—Attempt to segregate colored from white people in the public parks of Louisville, Ky., has met with determined resistance from the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Recently two colored teachers, Misses Margaret Taylor and Naomi Anthony, took twenty colored children to the city Park for a day's outing. They pincked on the white playground for a time until three white park guards, Tyler, Zwigard and Boss, ordered them out and upon their refusal to go, choked one of the colored teachers, and took them both to the police station in a patrol wagon. The two teachers swore out a warrant charging assault and battery against one of the guards and the next morning, 100 members of the N. A. A. C. P. were in court, an attorney and had the case put over until June 24th. Lee L. Brown, of the Louisville branch, N. A. A. C. P., reports: "We visited the mayor's office and laid our complaint before him, further we had the officers arrested. Sunday four-minute speakers were sent out to the churches. The churches responded and a considerable sum of money was raised, the clubs and other organizations have declared they will help. We are going to carry this case if necessary to the Supreme Court in order to test whether we as tax payers have a right to the use of the city parks without being molested by the police officers." Mr. Brown further reports that the N. A. A. C. P. opposed the opening of a special park for colored people in Louisville and that since its opening there has been trouble over colored people using the other city parks and playgrounds. The national office of the N. A. A. C. P. has telegraphed commending the fight and offering assistance. MRS. STEELE, WHITE FRIEND OF COLORED CHILDREN, SENDS $100 FOR N. A. A. C. P.

I feel I must send another hundred. I've neglected my fences and sidewalk, until they are a sight! For I do know that precious lives are far more important.

Mrs. Steele at the Kansas City conference last year of the N. A. A. C.

Mrs. W. H. Robinson entertained at cards Monday afternoon from 2 to 6 at her residence, 2122 Lake street, in honor of her guest, Mrs. L. P. Grant of Los Angeles, Cal.

Doctor Boone told of meeting Kit Car- gon while a boy, and of assuming the mame Carson after sitting on the Scout's knee and listening to his tales of adventure. ‘The genealogy compiled by Cotone!

He set. tled on a grant of 602 acres of land obtained from Lord Granville. Colonel Cowles said: “Whether Mr. Carson settled on the land before or after he obtained the grant in 1761 {s not known. The coun- try was then Infested with Indians and wild beasts, and he was there in good Ure for the exercise of his sdven- futons nature, which cropped out in the desire of Inter generations of Car- sons to fight Indians, wild beasts or anything else that occasion might re auire.” Father a Fighter.

His son Kit was the ténth of 14 chil- dren. “Lindsay Carson bore an honorable part in the Revolutionary war, baving Ferved until the end,” sald Colonel Cowles. “A rifle he hud carried. whieh was given to his children, was of large Caliber, with part of thé stock misa- ing. Te was shot away at the same time Lindsay lost several fingers from his left hand. He removed from North to South Carolina In about ‘1786, and in 1792 went to Madison county, Kentucky, and finally estab- Iished. his heme in Howard. county.

He was once attacked by two Indians, and Had shot one when the other closed in upon him. In a hand-to-hand combat he killed the Indian with the savage’s own knife “Lindsay Carson's descendants are scattered ‘mainly through the Rocky Mountain region and the Middle-West fates. A letter from a grandson faye? “All of his sons, without a single exception, went West in search of the Mnaians and buffalo. Now that the Indian Is guarded on the reservations, fand the buffalo 1s about extinct, 1 aim fat n loss to know what their descend (ants will do for pastime.” | Taken West at the Age of Two. | Christopher, or Kit, Carson was two years old when bis. parents moved ‘from Kentucky to Missouri. When fil! child he took bis turn at twatching with the men while the set- tiers fought the Indians during the War of 1812 in the protection of Coop- ers Fort. One of the family traditions lis that Kit Carson once sald: “Twas a young boy in the school ‘house when the ery came, “Indians!” 1 Vamped to ay rifle, threw down my felling book and there It Iles.” Colonel Cowles said that most of the facts concerning Kit Carson's ear- lty history came from his sister, Mary |Ann, who was born during the exctt- ling days in Cooper's Fort, May 25, 1814, and later became Sirs.

A plank car- rying this declaration was made part of the platform, after # hot debate, by the convention that has recently ¢losed its sessions in this city. The but after he had gone onty a short distance he turned the uni:nal loose, and of course the animal made ‘straight for home, After that the Doys had to take lim with them, and that was the last we saw of him for 15 years. Married an Indian Woman. “These years he spent in trading, trapping and honting and in becom ing more familiar with the Indian customs and language. During this time he married an Indian woman, who died after he became famous. He then returned to his old home with Adaline, their ittle daughter, whom he left with one of his sisters, She was thoroughly educated In a girls’ school in Fayette, Mo, He took her finally to California, where she mar ried and settled with her husband on @ large stock ranch.” Kit Carson accompanied Fremont in 1842 on his explorations in the West, and was appointed a leurenant in the rifle corps of the army in 1847, but Colonel Cowles stated that for Some reason which he has never been able to learn the nomination was not confirmed by the senate, During the Civil war Carson was colonel of a New Mexico regiment of volunteers, serving in New Mexico and Colorado, and taking part in the battle of Val verde, N. M., and in important opera- tions against the Indians. Carson's second wife, whom he married in 1858, wa’ Josefa Jaramilto, whose sister was the wife of Governor Bent of New Mexico. He made bis home at Taos, N. M,, until his death, whieh occurred on May 28, 1868, at Fort Logan, Colo. He had three sons and three daughters by his second wife. His son Willlam, who was a protege of Gen. William T. Sherman, was sheriff of Costilla county, Colo- rado. He killed himself accidentally. His youngest gon, Christopher, Jr, wrote Colonel Cowles in 1806 that since his father’s death he had been a cowboy and spent much of his time bunting. Colonel Cowles gave this deserip- ton of Kit Carson: “He was only 5 feet 6 inches tall, but, except for the shortness of his legs, was strongly and symmetrt- cally buin, his weight being about 160 pounds, His long arms, with thelr panther-like elasticity of muscles, his broad shoulders and deep chest, indl- cated x frame well calculated to en- Sie fe arial ok trate life. His ffatures were large but well chis- eled, his complexion and hair rather light and his eyes blue, He was « perfect type of ploneer, guide, trapper and frontiersman, with all the at- tributes of that life—brave, hospitable, generous, honest, temperate and pax tr ie.” Portrait That Brought $100 Is Worth $20,000 New York.—A painting which sold at public auction in New York cfty two months ago for less than $100 and was later picked up at approximately $100 by Grosvenor B, Clarkson, director of the Counell of National Defense un- der thé Wilson administration, has been Identified as a Gainsborough.

It was overlooked by scores of collectort and dealers, though prices running Into the thousands were paid for many works which hung 6m the wall near tt Squatting Said to Have Stunted Japanese Race Washington.—A new theory to ac count for the small stature of the Japanese race has been advanced. "A member of the government herlth bureau says that the Japanese eur tom of sitting on the floor with legs cramped has retarded the development of the lower limbs of the race as whole. He quotes statistics which show the average stature of Japanese male stu: dents has increased half an inch since 1007 in consequence of spending less time sitting on the floor at home and more time in physical exercise at school. ‘As a further argument he cites the inhabitants of fishing community In Okinawa. ‘The men, who have been accustomed to spend most of thelr time squatting In the bottoms of thelr fishing boats, are below the average in stature and have unusually short legs.
