Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and President of the National Negro Business League, in announcing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the League, an organization founded by the late Booker T. Washington. "In 1900 when the League was organized there were twenty thousand business enterprises conducted by Negroes; now there are sixty-five thousand," says the Tuskegee principal. "Negro success in business may be most accurately measured by the operation of banks which requires the highest standards of judgment, analysis and integrity. There were two Negro banks in the country when the League was founded, while in 1924 there are seventy-four." The National Negro Business League will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary in Chicago, August 20, 21 and 22, at which time new economic program for the Negro will be undertaken through the work of the League. "We shall," says Dr. Moton, "present a program of business development based upon twenty-five years of the League's work in stimulating and encouraging the commercial advancement of the race. "First, the League is going to 'sell' the Negro business man to America; Second, through a million-dollar corporation recently organized, the National Negro Finance Corporation, the League will undertake to secure standing for the securities of the reputable Negro enterprises. Third, the League will assemble and make available for its members expert and specialized information on business problems. Fourth, field workers will carry the message of co-operation and efficiency to the various communities where Negro business men and women are organized. ST. LOUIS ELECTS CITY COMMITTEEMAN (By The Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 15. "The outstanding feature of Tuesday's primary was the election of Robert T. Scott to the republican city committee from the Sixth ward. Scott got 1493 votes, William L. Tamme, Jr., son of the recorder of deeds, 1327, and Robert Walker 282. Scott is the first Negro to ever be elected to the republican city committee in St. Louis. His ward has a majority of Negroes. Three colored women were elected to the republican woman's city committee: Mrs. Cassie Harris in the Fifth ward, Mrs. Elizabeth Gamble in the Sixth ward, and Mrs. George Callian in the Twenty-third. These women had white women opponents except Mrs. Harris who was unopposed, Walthall M. Moor, who served one term in the state legislature and is the only Negro in Missouri who ever had this honor, led in the contest in the Third district in which four were nominated, a nomination in St. Louis being tatamount to election. Mr. Scott's victory has deep moral significance. His campaign was made with strong Negro support, including most worth while Negroes of the party and showed what the race can do in getting what it wants when it has the power and knows how to exercise it. SHOOTS "WHITE" NEGRO (By The Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 15.—Monsy Gilreath is so light in color that he can "pass". Therefore, when Lacius Hill saw him in the park with two colored women he thought he was white. Hill decided that a white man should not sit out in a Birmingham park with these ladies unmolested. He threw a brick at Gilreath's head which didn't connect. Gilreath retaliated with two pistol bullets which did connect. Hill will recover. Gilreath gave himself up and proved that he is colored. Hill has apologized for his mistake. THE MONITOR THE VOTES NEEDED The Negro vote will be in greater request during the coming election than ever before. It will be concededly the determining factor in ten states. Neither party makes a compelling appeal. The Negro has been a republican by tradition and inertia. He adheres to his ancient allegiance because he lacks political energy and enterprise to break away. In nineteen twelve he divided his vote in comparable numbers between Roosevelt, Wilson and Taft, but soon drifted back to his first love. No one can tell how this vote will be distributed in the present campaign. But whoever gets it will have to go after it vigorously.—Kelly Miller. NEGROES BACK THEIR FRIEND FOR SENATE (By The Associated Negro Press) Newark, N. J., Aug. 15.—In the spirited fight between Walter E. Edge, present incumbent, and Hamilton F. Kean, for the last eight years republican national committeeman from New Jersey, for election to the United States Senate, opportunity is being given to observe the effect of the Negro's vote in the state where a blunt issue as between friends and enemies is presented. The political leaders of the state, Walter G. Alexander, Isaac Nutter and others, have joined solidly in the support of Mr. Kean. Their efforts are being directed toward lining up the electorate. They point to a long list of oversights and evidences of prejudice on the part of Mr. Edge, who has made promises and neglected to fulfill them, and hold up Kean as the kind of a man who has consistently treated the Negro fairly, with nothing to expect from them. It is now learned that Kean has been a silent power. Being the principal financial backer of the republican party, it was Kean who fought for Henry Lincoln Johnson in Chicago four years ago and it was he who, with Hilles of New York made the fight this year for Johnson and Howard at Cleveland. The contingent of the republican party represented by Kean is now waiting for the Negroes to name a candidate for the assembly, whereas the Edge faction has refused to name one. Besides having shown himself politically on the square he has contributed quietly to various Negro institutions. Negro support is being organized by the colored republican state committee, of which Isaac Nutter is chairman. Mrs. H. Blanche Harris, chairwoman and Mrs. Mary Green, secretary. JAIL HAITIAN LEADER (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, Aug. 15.—According to information received by Joseph Mirault, New Pork correspondent of the "Courier Haiten" Jolibois Fils, nationalist Haitian leader, has been thrown into jail again by the United States marines for having denounced in the press the America seizure of Haitian institutions and the expulsion thereof of natives. General Russell, in charge of American interests in the islands, claims to be carrying out orders from Washington. Telegrams have been sent to President Coolidge and Secretary of State Hughes acquainting them with the treatment accorded Fils and other Haitians. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1924 DISASTERS NUMEROUS IN FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR American Red Cross Lists the Many Occasions That Have Required Its Assistance. Washington.—The first half of 1924 shows a record of more disasters drawing upon the relief of the American Red Cross than any similar period in its history, according to statistics compiled at national headquarters and announced there. Assistance to the victims from Red Cross funds, it was stated, has been extended in not less than 35 localities. Floods, tornadoes, explosions, fires and epidemics in the United States and earthquakes in foreign lands called for $200,000 direct from the national Red Cross treasury, while Red Cross chapters and individuals contributed to relief work much more than that amount. In addition to these major operations there were numerous smaller disasters in which relief was given by the local Red Cross chapter without assistance from national headquarters. The Red Cross is still carrying out an extensive work of relief and reconstruction among the victims of the Lorain (Ohio) tornado of June 28, where nearly $500,000 already has been raised, and more is in sight, for the re-establishment of the stricken territory and its people. Forty trained Red Cross workers have been covering the entire tornado area and attending to every emergency need of the people who survived. The disaster in Ohio caused the most widespread destruction of any listed by the Red Cross this year, although other calamities of the half year have recorded greater death lists. Relief activities of the Red Cross were almost wholly confined to the United States, except for earthquakes in Ecuador, Costa Rica and Colombia and relief of famine sufferers in Albania. The list of disasters from January 1 to June 30, where human suffering was relieved by the Red Cross, is as follows: Tornadoes—South Carolina, Chatham county, N. C.; Martin county, N. C.; Harris county, Ga.; Meriwether county, Ga.; Tunica, Miss.; eastern Oklahoma and Lorain, Ohio; Shawnee, Okla.; Mississippi; Marion county, Ala.; Cascade county, Mont. Cloudburst—Carter county, Tenn. Windstorms—Dickinson, N. D., and sections of South Dakota, also in Minnesota. Floods—Crosby, Minn. (mine); Cumberland, Md.; Belle Fouche, S. D.; Bitter Creek, Wyo.; Harpers Ferry, W. Va. Explosions—Pekin, Ill. (starch works); Johnson City, Ill.; Welch, W. Va. (mine); Benwood, W. Va. (mine). Fires—Lindonville, Vt.; Montpellier, Vt.; Kalaune, Wash. The Red Cross also extended assistance in funds and trained workers at a serious typhoid epidemic in Lincoln Memorial university, Tennessee, and during the Arizona quarantine against the foot-and-mouth disease. The North Carolina and Ohio tornadoes called out the Mobile disaster relief unit recently organized by the American Red cross, which responded at once with trained disaster relief administrators and workers and applied relief immediately where calls were most urgent. Another noteworthy phase of this year's disaster record is the fact that localities not commonly subject to nature's wrath have been visited by calamity. Most of the disasters occurred east of the Mississippi. Makes Up the Family "Bingham," trained rooster, owned by W. E. Harwell, Jr., son of one of the city officials of Atlanta, Ga., is regarded as one of the most unusual roosters in the world. "Bingham" waits for the cook to open the back door each morning, when he enters the house and calls the family. When the family goes automobile riding the rooster perches himself alongside of the driver. He eats at the table from his own plate. "Bingham" is here shown with the baby member of the family, acting as a nurse, another duty the bird performs well. COLORED YOUTH BELIEVED WHITE GETS IN MARINES Is Discharged When Racial Identity Is Discovered After Serving Six Months IN Service DIFFERENT REASONS ARE GIVEN Released Upon Mother's Request One Statement Claims; "Passed For White," Says Another. Washington, D. C., Aug. 15.—The first known colored youth who has ever become a member of the United States Marine Corps has been ordered discharged after 6 months of service. Ralph Norman Wright, son of James Wright, retired letter carrier of Memphis, Tenn., and almost white in color, ran away from home and enlisted at St. Louis six months ago. He gave his color as white and nothing unusual was discovered about the new "devil dog." He was ordered to Paris Island, S. C., and later to the Panama Canal. Recently the mother of the boy applied to the marine corps for his discharge on the grounds that he enlisted while under age, and a law recently enacted by Congress provides that in such cases the discharge is mandatory. The discharge has been ordered and the enlisted man is now on his way back from the Canal Zone on a government transport. This is the version of the matter given by marine corps officers. From other sources, the story is heard differently. It is reported that in some manner the fact that Wright is a Negro became known in the marine corps where there is an unwritten law against men of his race, and an arrangement was fixed up for his discharge because of internal dissatisfaction. Church Gets Busy. It is said that Robert Church, a millionaire and republican politician of Memphis, who is an uncle of the marine, has protested against his nephew being discharged on account of his color and has taken the motter up with Secretary of the Navy Wilbur. Gen. Le Jeaune, commander of the marine corps, denied today that he had a protest about the discharge of the youth, but on the contrary had had a request from his people to get him out of the service for the reasons stated. There is no bar to Negroes entering other branches of the armed forces of the government, but it is an unwritten law that the Negro shall not be permitted in the marine corps. Navy Head Talks The first knowledge, it was said, that the navy department had that he was supposed to be colored was that gleaned from newspaper reports concerning his discharge Marine corps officials presumed that he was white. His photograph shows no traces of Negroid features. "The question of his color has not come up," said Brigadier General Logan Feland, acting commandant of the United States marine corps. "The fact is that his mother applied for his discharge because he is under age," he stated, "and we to the recent Act of Congress, under these circumstances, he must be discharged." Passing for White. "Passing for white" is a very common and profitable thing among colored folks who are very fair. Kelly Miller astonished official Washington by declaring sometime ago he knew several hundred persons in Washington alone who were white or colored as they desired. In this way thousands of Negroes known in their home city as colored migrate elsewhere and go over to the white race entirely. During the war the colored part of Washington knew that a colored naval officer visited his family there. Yet the records show no officers in the U. S. navy to be colored, and the unwritten law in the navy bars Negroes from all ranks above gunner's mate. Another officer in the U. S. navy is a Baltimore boy and son of a one-time Baltimore pastor. RECEIVES CERTIFICATE Miss Ruth Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jones, a student at the University of Omaha, has received her first grade certificate from the primary teachers' course. Miss Jones made a good record at Central high from which she graduated in June, 1920, and also at the university. PRINCE MAKES A FIND IN ANCIENT GREEK TOMB Sweden's Royal Heir Discovers Objects of Art More Than 3,000 Years Old. Stockholm.—The discovery of 250 gold ornaments that were ancient heirlooms even in the time of Homer, the opening of a Greek tomb that had not been disturbed for more than 3,000 years, and the discovery that the so-called saddle roof was not unknown in the architecture of that early day, are some of the important results just reported here of the Swedish archeological expedition, headed by Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf, which is excavating the ancient city of Asine, Greece. The latest discovery of the Swedish experts came somewhat as a surprise when, after having explored a tomb as big as a house and finding nothing of unusual interest, they turned to a tomb less than five feet wide. This proved to be a treasure trove, dating about 1150 B. C., in the Mycenaean, or pre-Hellenic period. It contained numerous earthenware vases of rare design and decoration, eight beautiful bronze urns and other vessels, of which one was 20 inches high. One of the smaller bronze urns contained four necklaces of gold and iridescent glass beads, and curiously enough the strings were sufficiently well preserved to show the arrangement of the beads, so that the necklaces can now be restored to their exact appearance 3,000 years ago. The necklaces contained 660 beads and other ornaments, of which 250 were of gold. The great tomb nearby, which contained few treasures, is nevertheless of great archeological value, since it is built in the form of a house and its top, hewn into the rock, is the exact shape of the familiar "saddle root" with sloping sides and gables at both ends, thus proving that this architectural detail was known in Greece more than 1,000 years B. C. The Swedish expedition has been at work in the excavation of Asne for more than two years and has already unearthed and classified more than 500,000 treasures and fragments of value, of which date back as far as 2,500 years B. C. Yet the experts say that the work has only just begun, and that still more important discoveries may be expected in the near future. All the portable finds of the crown prince's expedition are being studied in the University of Land, Sweden, to which they have been shipped by special permission of the Greek government. As soon as the examination has been completed by archeological experts the finds will be returned to Greece. German Baron Shot in Duel With Russian Berlin.—Baron von Seidlitz is in a Berlin hospital with a bullet in his knee, and the German capital's old set is busy discussing a duel which Von Seidlitz is alleged to have fought in reactionary Mecklenburg with Baron von Elsen, a Russian from Latvia. The duel is said to have grown out of a quarrel in a Berlin cafe. The combatants did not risk fighting in Prussia because of the strict antidueling law, but went with their seconds to a wooded estate in Mecklenburg. The pistol of Von Seidlitz is alleged to have failed to go off when the signal to fire was given, and there is much speculation as to whether there was foul play in the duel. Von Seidlitz, who is about fifty years old, comes from a military family. He was in the United States for some years and returned to Germany to serve in the World war, in which he fought with distinction. He is a social favorite in the Berlin diplomatic circles, in which former Crown Prince Frederick William moves. Ansonia, Conn.—Mrs. Catherine Bristol, forty-nine years old, whose funeral was held here Sunday, weighed in excess of 600 pounds and was buried in a coffin weighing 430 pounds, the largest ever used in the state, according to the undertaker who supervised the burial. The woman's death occurred on the third story of a Main street building and a block and fall was used in lowering the coffin from the rooms. Ten men acting as pallbearers carried the coffin from a hearse to the grave, a distance of 100 feet. They were obliged twice to put it down for rest during the short journey. Mrs. Bristol's death, physicians say, was caused by her increasing weight. She had been unable to leave her home for three years. Helen Byers, the three-year-old grand child of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Parker, 2010 Paul street, who has been ill, is much better. MAR Service Which E NO GRAVEYARD CAMPAIGN No longer can the republican party say to the Negro voter: "You have been bought and paid for." No longer can he be frightened away from Davis and Bryan by the immemorial scare-crow of democratic antagonism to the black man's rights. Forgetting the things that are past we must press forward to the future. * The Negro politician will not be allowed to conduct his campaign in a grave yard, rattling the dry bones of Stevens and Sumner and Grant. The Negro wants to know "which way is your musket apinting today."—Kelly Miller. MEMORIAL TABLET FOR NOTED NEGROES Philadelphia, Aug. 15.—As a part of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence to be held in this city in 1926, a memorial tablet will be erected. On this tablet will be the names of 150 leading Negroes who have contributed something substantial to the growth of our country since its founding. This list will be headed by Richard Allen, founder of the African Methodist church, Absalom Jones, founder of St. Thomas' Episcopal church, Philadelphia; James Barrett, Lott Carey, John Leisle and others who contributed to the founding of the Negro church. Frederick Douglass John M. Langston, B. K. Bruce, Hiram Revels and others in the political field; Phyllis Wheatley, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and others in the literary field. The list will also contain the business men, artists, famous women and others. This list will be presented to the Sesqui-Centennial committee for final approval. Rev. H. P. Anderson, pastor of Bethel church, who is chairman of the committee getting out the tablet, is asking for nominations of the great men of the race in order that the tablet may represent the best regardless of denomination or section of the country that the Negro has produced as it will stand for all time as a monument in the city of Brotherly Love. Henry O. Tanner, the most famous Negro artist and the son of Bishop Tanner of the African Methodist Episcopal church, will model the panel for the tablet, which will be cast in bronze, the cost of which will be about $10,000, which will be borne by the church as its contribution to the race. ROOSEVELT POST OF AMERICAN LEGION STEADILY GROWING Roosevelt Post of the American Legion is steadily growing in membership and in good works. It has done excellent work in helping ex-service men register for the bonus, as well as giving substantial aid to deserving persons. By no means has the post confined its activities to ex-service men, it has shown a deep interest in the Boy Scouts. Last week it contributed $20 to help Boy Scouts take advantage of the annual two weeks' quiting at Camp Gifford. The Post to increase its funds as well as furnish recreation for its members and friends will give a ball at Jewell hall, Twenty-fourth and Grant streets, on the night of "Defense Day", September 12. The Post meets each Friday night at the Colored Commercial Club, 1514½ North Twenty-fourth street, and extends a cordial welcome to all ex-service men to come out and get acquainted. BOYS SCOUTS GO TO CAMP Fifty-one Boy Scouts from Troops 23, 79 and the City Mission, left today for a ten days' outing at Camp Gifford. Scoutmasters Dr. Craig Morris, T. P. Mahammitt and Assistant Scout Masters W. G. Haynes, B. B. Cowan and Malcolm Scott are doing excellent work with the Boy Scouts which is a fine organization. Sunday will be visitors' day and parents and friends of the boys should avail themselves of the privilege of visiting Camp Gifford, which can be reached by convenient train or auto. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON The services Sunday will be as follows: Holy communion 7:30 a. m.; Church school at 10; sung eucharist with sermon at 11 o'clock.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. X—No. 7 rines Bars Negroes CLARENCE WHITE TAKES MUSIC CHAIR IN SOUTHERN SCHOOL Famous Violinist and Composer Will Head Important Department at West Virginia Collegiate Institute. IS WELL QUALIFIED FOR WORK Charleston, W. Va., Aug. 15.—Clarence Cameron White, noted violinist, has accepted work in the department of music of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, one of the most progressive of the tax supported institutions of the country. Mr. White was born in Clarksville, Tenn. He was reared and educated at Oberlin, Ohio, where he also received his early musical training at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. After the completion of his study there he went to Washington, D. C., where he was teacher of the violin in the Washington Conservatory of Music and in the public schools. In 1908 Mr. White went abroad for further study and became a private pupil of M. Zacharewitz, the famous Russian violinist, and also a pupil in composition of the late Coleridge Taylor. After three years study abroad, Mr. White returned to America and located in Boston, where he divided his time between teaching, concert work and composition. Popular among his compositions are "Bandana Sketches", including "Nobody Knows the Trouble Ive Seen," "Lament," "On the Bayou" and "Cabin Song." For the violin and piano Mr. White has just issued the following "Twilight." "Caprice" and "Valse Coquette." The coming of Mr. White to the West Virginia Institute is the result of winter conferences between James S. Larkin, president of the West Virginia State Board of Control; George M. Ford, state superintendent of schools; W. W. Saunders, supervisor of colored schools and President John W. Davis. A plan coming out of these conferences has crystalized to form in connection with the institution a school of music which will help to preserve the beauty of the Negro's past contribution to musical art and also to awaken and energize possibilities in the Negro for new endeavors in music. To this task Mr. White will lend his efforts in the college of West Virginia. RECORD CROWD HEARS MORRIS (By The Associated Negro Press) Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 15—Five thousand persons jammed the commodious auditorium of the First Methodist church (white) Sunday night, August 3rd, two thousand Negros packed the big radio rooms to suffocation, another thousand stood in the vestibule, while it is conservatively estimated that more than three thousand others were turned away, when Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., famous orator delivered his celebrated address on "The Bryliy Side of a Dark Subject." The great throng, one of the largest in the history of the First church, accorded the spokesman a tremendous ovation. At the same time that Mr. Morris appeared before the Los Angeles audience, he was speaking to a quarter of a million people in various parts of the country over the radio installed upon the platform. His eloquent plea for inter-racial amity and good-will was thus carried over the entire nation. The orator discussed his theme from three phases. (1) What the white man is doing for the black man. (2) What the white man and the black man are doing for each other. (3) What the black man is doing for himself. The great church auditorium was packed at 6:30 p. m. Negro jubilee chorus of 200 voices sang. Rev. Edward Ellsworth Helms, pastor, presided.

It contains a beauty in tone and language which arrests ad holds attention; but that which grips one most is its apparent candor and sincerity. One instinctively feels, even though he may differ from the speaker, that here is an honest man speaking the honest convictions of his mind and heart. He states frankly where he stands upon each issue. His position on the league of nations and world court is candidly given. He recognizes labor's right to organize for adequate wages and improved conditions. He stands for tax reduction and economy in governmental expenditures. His stand for religious rights of all American citizens is uncompromising and his manly and outspoken opposition to the forces making for disruption of the nation by fostering racial and religious hatred bespeaks the true patriot. John W. Davis' speech of acceptance enunciates the ideals for which America should stand and inasmuch as his speech reveals the man it shows him to be far in advance of his party. Could he have strength and influence enough to bring the rank and file of his party up to the standard set in his admirable speech there would be no hesitancy upon the part of the mass of our people in entrusting themselves to such statesmanlike leadership. The country at large cannot but be benefitted by such sentiments as John W. Davis has expressed in his speech of acceptance. A PRAYER FOR DELI PREN By Morne (For the Assoc GOD, who hast made a who dost love all whom harvest of difference 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.

COOLIDGE IS AMAZED PRESIDENT Coolidge is amazed. The cause of this amazement is the suggestion that he should use his influence to prevent an American citizen of dark pigmentation—which thing the Nordics hate—filling for a seat in Congress from the great "Empire state", commonly called New York. Accustomed as President Coolidge must be to foolish requests of all sorts and conditions the assinity of this from an astute New Yorker struck him with such amazement that he lost no time in inditing an illuminating epistle to the said gentleman containing the following good sound American doctrine: "Our constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my oath to support that constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it and administer it, as the source of the rights of all people, whatever their belief or race. A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary, as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself and by nobody else. "You have suggested that in some fashion I should bring influence to bear to prevent the possibility of a colored man being nominated for congress. In reply, I quote my great predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt: "! . . . I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut up on any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race and color." TIME TO SPEAK BOTH Davis and La Follette have made it plain where they stand in reference to that lawless band of VERANCE FROM RACE UDICE by Williams tated Negro Press) man in Thine own likeness and Thou hast made, suffer us not, condition to hooded hoodlums who wage cowardly war against more than half of America's most loyal citizenry. As yet Calvin Coolidge has not spoken. There is a time to speak and a time to keep silent. We believe that Coolidge should let the country know where he stands on this important issue of this campaign. So far as we are concerned there can be no compromise with the damnably cowardly band who masquerade in sheets and pillow slips and spread their spawn of racial and religious hatred. "HAVE YOU GIVEN UP?" "HAVE you given up the effort to have colored teachers again appointed in the public schools of Omaha?" This question was asked us the other day. Our reply is rather slang, "Not on your life." It never pays to give up when you are contending for the right. It pays to fight. We urge our young people to continue to qualify and file their applications. We will win. New York, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles and scores of other cities where they have mixed schools have competent teachers of color in those schools. Omaha was once in this class of progressive cities and will be again. GETTING CARELESS IT looks like our city commissioners are getting careless about giving proper attention to those sections of our city in which large numbers of our people live. The streets need cleaning quite badly, Mr. Noyes, and the sidewalks need attention, Mr. Koutsky, and the lighting facilities can be improved. Please get busy gentlemen. WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY Learning a Trade To the young man who looks forward to mastering a trade it can be suggested that the heads of industrial enterprises are nearly all men who started at the bottom of the ladder and know the details of the business from its foundations. Every successful contractor has probably worked at the bench as a carpenter or with the trowel as a bricklayer. In this democratic country the man working at a trade is eligible to the highest positions of trust and honor. The so-called "white collar jobs" often keep a man tied to a minor desk all his life while the young fellow who has mastered a trade rises above him into a position of independence. The workers who use their hands are also allowed to use their heads, in America, and the combination brings success and often fame to the ambitious and enterprising.—Baltimore Afro-American. BISHOP PARKS SENIOR BISHOP A. M. E. CHURCH With the death of Bishop L. J. Coppin, Bishop W. H. Parks becomes automatically the senior bishop of the A. M. E. church—that is senior in active service. Bishop B. F. Lee is the bishop longest in office, having been elected in 1892. As senior bishop Bishop Parks thus becomes the ranking bishop of 7,000 ministers, who are passors of 7,500 churches with a membership and following of nearly 800,000 people, and will preside over all the meetings of the Bishops' Council. Bishop Henry Eianton Parks was born in Georgia and educated in Atlanta University. He was missionary secretary from 1896 to 1908, and elected bishop in 1908. He was delegate to the Ecumenical Conference in 1911; and served as president of the Financial Board of the A. M. E. church. Was bishop over Alabama and Tennessee, served four quadrenniums over the Fifth district, and is now serving his first quadrennium over the 18th district comprising California, Washington, Oregon and Oklahoma.

That the Colored Young Women's Christian Association has made a more rapid advancement than any other organization of similar nature is a remarkable fact; when it is considered that in 1912 it had but one city and one student secretary on the national board and ten years later (1922) it had eleven national secretaries, 108 workers in seven centers with fifty-seven branches, and 7,000 young colored girls registered as members. Ninety thousand women and girls have been reached in various ways during a period of ten years. What was the Jerry McHenry incident? In the summer of 1851, a colored man, by name Jerry McHenry, was arrested under the Fugitive Slave Law on complaint of a Missouri slave holder. McHenry made an attempt to escape but failed. On the evening of October 1, a descent was made upon the jail by a party led by Gerrit Smith and Rev. Samuel I. May, both well known abolitionists, which rescued McHenry, concealed him, and finally sent him into Canada, where he died in Kingston, Ontario, in 1853. Richard Allen who was the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal church, began his ministral career when at the age of seventeen years, and so impressed his master with his eloquence that he allowed the youth to preach to him and finally became one of his first converts, giving Allen his freedom in recognition of that fact. Young Allen was ordained a deacon in the Methodist church in 1779 by Rev. Francis Asbury, but on account of prejudice and discrimination, withdrew from that organization, and founded his own church, of which he later became first bishop. He was also influential in organizing the first convention of colored people of the United States, held in Philadelphia in 1830, and a general leader of his people regardless of creed. ST. JOHN'S BAPTIST CHURCH St. John's Baptist church is holding services regularly in the Knights of Tabor hall, Twenty-fourth and Patrick avenue. The Rev. E. H. McDonald, D. D., is pastor.

Hearty of New York preached in the morning and at 8 p. m., the pastor preached on "Social Relations and Conduct in Public Places." It was a practical, plain and much-needed sermon. Next Sunday the usual services to which the public is cordially invited. CRIPPLED AT FIVE HE WINS SUCCESS Victim of Infantile Paralysis Becomes Noted Attorney. Valparaiso, Ind.-Twenty-five winters ago he crawled in the snow across the campus of Valparaiso university and up the stairs to his class rooma. Today he still crawls, but to the courtroom to represent clients who place all their confidence in him. He has won repute as an attorney. Last week J. Willard Moffett visited his old school again and crawled up the steps of the administration building to write his check toward the campaign which Valparaiso alumni are conducting to revitalize their alma mater. Crippled for life by infantile paralysis at the age of five years, Mr. Moffett has done without the use of his lower limbs, what few men do with bodies intact. It was difficult to crawl from place to place—sometimes nearly impossible—but not once was he late to class. He was graduated from the School of Law with LL. B. degree in 1900. Since then he has figured in some of the most important cases tried in the Supreme and Appellate courts of the state and has come to be the leading attorney of Huntington, Ind. He has repeatedly refused the honor of holding political offices because he prefers his practice. "There is only one school where I could have received an education without embarrassment, without discouragement, and that one is Valparaiso University," Mr. Moffett says. "I want to help in making if possible for others to get this assistance."

IT PAID HIM TO ADVERTISE One of the most persisten of success was Robinson Crusoe and he put up an advertis shirt on a pole, at the top of guage of the sea, was plain t The circulation was small but Crusoe kept at it, despite quiries for a long time. H garment after another was fr what he wanted One of the most persistent advertisers in the history of success was Robinson Crusoe. He knew what he wanted—and he put up an advertisement for one. He flung a shirt on a pole, at the top of his island, that; in the language of the sea, was plain to every sea-faring man. The circulation was small—there was no other medium but Crusoe kept at it, despite the fact that he got no inquiries for a long time. He changed his copy—as one garment after another was frayed out—and in the end got what he wanted. Suppose Crusoe had taken down that signal after a time and declared—"Advertising doesn't pay," where would he and his story be now? Put up your signal and keep it there. Crusoe advertised under very discouraging circumstances. You've got a sure thing—it is only necessary to have the patience, persistence, and pluck of Robinson Crusoe—and the good ship "Better Business" will soon tie up 'longside your pier.—Baltimore Afro-American.

TID BITS (By Leonard Massenburge for The As sociated Negro Press) In Virginia about 1725 the masters with some exceptions favored instruction for slaves, and the missionaries embraced the opportunity to instruct them. But the introduction of the cotton-gin in 1793 and the rise of the slave power to supremacy from 1820 to 1860 condemned the bondman to ignorance and provoked general jealousy of Christian influence. In 1520 a Spanish slaver visited South Carolina; in 1526 another Spaniard brought Negro slaves into Virginia; and forty years later Florida received the bane of two races. In 1619 a Dutch slave-trader imported a cargo of Negroes into the Old Dominion state, selling them at Jamestown. Next year the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, and an irrepressible conflict of ideas began. It was not until about 1670 that Negro slavery gained firm footing in this country. Though black freedmen and white advocates of abolition were never unknown in the south; though Negro slaves and Saxon defenders of slavery existed in the north, the south was chained to slavery, the north allied with freedom. From 1620 to 1865 the principles of two opposing civilizations wrestled for the possession of a virgin continent. Emancipation occurred in remaining British colonies, in Portuguese and in Spanish America after slavery had existed there for centuries, but the United States required only eighty-four years of independence to rid itself of the inheritance of iniquity bequeathed by Europe. In Florida a planter once supported a Moravian missionary detailed for labor among his slaves. The gallantry of Sergeant William Carney in the Civil War lives in the song, dedicated to his memory, "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground."

The present hope of suc eee rests on an increased knowledge ‘et the history and traditions of the Chinese Jews, better organization and More adequate financial backing. Facts which have been gradually coming to ‘Uight reveal an amazing story of small ommunities of these exiles clinging fo their ancient rites and practices through generations in the very heart ‘of Chinese ctvilization. ‘The present revival is due in large Gert to Adoiph 8. Oko, iorarian of th ‘Union college of Cincinnatl, ‘who recently brought from Europe a collection of 59 manuscripts contain- fing hymns, prayers and rituals show- fag conclusively the connection be- tween the Jews of ancient and medie- val China and those of the Western ‘world. ‘These manuscripts, written on ps- Per folded into the form of fans, are partly in Chinese and partly in an ap- gient Jewish-Persian dialect, indicat- {ing that they were originally composed By emigrants from the long-established Hebrew settlements in Persia. Ac- cording to a writer In the American Hebrew they “constitute all the man- a known to have been written Jews living in China." They were ‘eollected during the middle of the last century by missionaries sent to China by an Pnglish society, which Roped to convert thelr owners to Ghristianity. _ ++ Origin of Settlements ‘in Doubt. ‘The origin of the Jewish settle ents in China, as well as thelr probable date, is a matter of doubt ‘among scholars. One theory advanced is that a part of the Jewish people who were carried into captivity In Babylon in the Seventh century, B. C. gradually made their way eastward instead of returning ‘o Jerusalem when the city was restored to them by Cyris, king of Persia, in the Sixth century B. C. There is little or no Girect evidence to back this up, al- ‘though in the writings of Isulah there fs a reference to the “land of Sinim,” which is thought by some Old Testa- ment commentators to mean China. If ‘this supposition were correct, it would Indicate that the Jews as far back as the Pighth century B. C. knew about the Chinese. ‘Another theory is that the Jews made thelr way In considerable num- bers to China after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Emperor Titus in 70 A.D. It in known that very early fm the Christian era Jews were living ‘Rot only in Persia but in India. ‘The best testimony on the subject, however, is that of the emigrants them- selves, They belleved, according to thelr medieval writings and inscrip- tions, that they settled In China about the Third century of the present era. ‘This accords with other evidence which historians consider trustworthy. The ete of this evidence seems to show that the Jews worked thel way eastward, sometimes under pres gure of religious and racial persecu- tions, such as took place in Persia as ‘early as the First century, and some times in the role of traders seeking new markets. The Romans called the Chinese by a name meaning “siik men,” and the Jews of Persia, and, Perhaps also of the Roman empire, were silk merchants at a very early ate. It is thought probable that they followed the caravans through Cen- fal Asia, or went by sex to India, ‘and thence made their way into the ailk-produting regions of China. Marco Polo Found, Them. For a time these wanderers prob- ‘ably kept tt touch with members of their race in the Western world. Then, ‘an the Occidental Jews became scat- tered and the encient trade routes fel {to partial disuse, they were cut off ‘ghd forgotten. They were not again a. to the attention of the Occi- , $0 far as Is known, until Marco Polo found and mentioned them in ‘DMs famous travels toward the end f the Thirteenth century. Polo sald (that the Tartar emperor, Kubla Khan —a model of religious tolerance—hon- ored the religious festivals not only ef the. Mobammedans an Bud- ‘@hists but also of the Christians and the Jews, making no distinction among |. This is held to show that the must have been fairly numerous ‘and highly esteemed. A Chinese inscription of the year i bears out this conclusion. “They tm agriculture, in merchandise, in and in warfare and are “Mighly eateemed for integrity, fideltty, ‘© strict observance of their re- - ctor nedlad } pemtoe inseription of the i ‘came _fietally trom on tchoo"or, tt et or sents Cowie ‘Taal. refer to a renewed of Jews from India: which a taken place about the Tenth _ The ancient Chinese onme By ‘Reweomers was “Tins AT iene otis Gamer rm ».

Here they not only worked 2 farmers, merchante and occaston- ally a5 bankers, but manufactured a articular kind of silk fabric that was well known in that part of China, Intermarried With Chinese, For a long time the Jews of Kat- Fung-Fu clung to thelr religious and racial customs tenaciously, although they adopfad the queue and the Chi- nese method of, dress, and vometimes intermarried with the Chinese. ‘They Dailt a famous temple, of which accu- rate descriptions have been preserved and whose rifns may be restored if the present campaign succeeds. This Dullding, according to the records, was ‘a characteristic mixtare of the Hebraic and the Chinese. The Chinese infiu- ence showed itself in many other ways, for instance, in ancestor worship, The Chinese writers, however, were fond ‘of pointing out that the Jewish’ re Ugion was not at all at variance with Confucianism. Perhaps this was mere- ly the polite Orlental manner of minl- mizing religious differences among the subjects of the empire, ‘The next distinct reference to the Chinese Jews after the account given by Marco Polo was that made by the Jesuit missionaries in the Seventeenth century. The Jews had by this time Jost all trace of their origin, although they still adhered to the customs and observances handed down from father to son for many genepations. One of them, hearing that the Jesuits taught bellef in a single deity, came to the Jesuit Father Ricet in the be Wet that both were members of the same faith. ‘The Jesuit missionaries, and later those of the Protestant faith, attempted to conver the Chinese Jews to Christianity, but apparently without success. Whether the Chinese colonles—it they can still be called that—ean be rehabilitated is a question of deep in- terest to the numerous members of their race all over the world. Settles Marital.

Public schools is costing the taxpayers € the nation at least $130;000,000 an- ‘ually, it is asserted by the Eyesight Conservation Council of America, which, in a statement sent to direc tors of summer schools throughout the country, urges organized conservation of vision as a social and economle need. Warning that poor eyesight 1s & pro- Ue source of retardation, the council ‘makes pubile the results of investiga- tions showing that a large proportion of backward children have visual de fects. ‘Accompanying the statement Is report revealing that heavy moral and financial losses arise from this evil Approximately 25 per cent of all school children in the United States the council finds, are retarded in thelr studles and fully one-third of this retardation lg conservatively estimated as due to defective vision, If this 8 a correct estimate there are at least 2,000,000 school children in the United States one or more years behind In thelr studies because of de fective vision, says the council's re ort, continuing: “According to the United States bu Feau of education the cost of public elementary and secondary edueation ‘for the entire United States averaged An 1920 $04.16 per pupil per year. If each one of the 6,000,000 retarded ‘children In the United States, as esth mated, was forced to drop back only fone year the cost would be $390,000, 000. “The public school system spends ‘this amount each year in order that ‘these children may have one or more Years longer to complete thelr educa- ton. At least one-third of this amount, “or $130,000,000, is lost annually be ‘cause the eyesight of the children tg ‘Reglected. “This estimated cost is low, for the average backward pupil is retarded “more than one year. Studies made in ‘two cities of 5,815 retarded pupils ‘show a total of 12,970 school yeurs fost, making an average much jn ex. “cess of two years for each retarded “pupil. “Furthermore, the estimate does ‘not represent the total loss to the child and to the state when considera. tion is given to the future inefficiency, lowered earning power and less com- ipetent service of the individual as fan economle unit of society.” Leads to Other Troubles. John J. Tigert, Wnited States com missioner of education and a member of the hoard of councilors of the eye sight council, Is quoted as asserting, after « careful review of the situation, Mat “one of the greatest disturbing factors in measuring the effects of de fective vision upon retardation Is the fact that faulty eyesight invariably leads to other troubles, and the effect of these Is not attributed to defective vision.” The council's statement to summer school directors, signed by Guy A. Henry of New York, general director, says that “a large percentage of the pupils attending summer schools are obliged to do so merely because they have not ‘kept up with thelr classes.” Tn the teport disclosing waste the relation between sound vision and school progress Is Indicated. “Defec tive vision is responsible for much of the retardation in school progress which exists In the educational inst tutions of the country,” says the re port. “Investigations of 28,007 publi schoo! children with defective vision show that of this group an average of 67 per cent were retarded in thel studies one or more years. This fs almost three times as high as the re tardation of groups when not class fied according to eyesight. In an other group of 82,050 pupils of whict retardation Investigations were made without segregating or glving consid eration to condition of eyes, the pro portion of those retarded’ in thels studies averaged 24 per cent.” Large Number Backward.
