Abbott, Founder and Owner of Chicago Defender, Speaker at Third Anniversary of Bethel Church BISHOP CAREY ALSO PRESENT Methodist Prelate Makes Strong Plea for Funds to Pay Debt and Introduces the Speaker Standing room was at a premium in St. John's A. M. E. church Monday night where Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, spoke under the auspices of Bethel A. M. E. Church, which celebrated the third anniversary of its founding. The major object of the celebration was to raise funds to meet the mortgage on Bethel, threatened with foreclosure. The pastor of St. John's, the Rev. C. A. Williams, had graciously placed his large church at the disposal of the daughter church for this occasion, and an expectant and appreciative audience filled it to overflowing. Bishop Carey of Chicago, in charge of this district, also came to lend his influence, at great personal inconvenience. It was Mr. Abbott's first visit to Omaha and the audience was anxious to see and hear the man who had successfully built up such a large and influential newspaper as The Chicago Defender, with its $100,000 plant and 125 employees, unquestionably is. Those who expected to find in Mr. Abbott a great orator were disappointed. While he drove home many plain truths which need to be repeatedly emphasized and said many good things, there was a crudity and hesitancy which betrayed an untrained speaker. The too frequent use of the first personal pronoun was also an unconscious fault of the speaker. Mr. Abbott was placed at a great disadvantage, too, from the fact that although he was scheduled to deliver the principal address, some of them unnecessary and tiresome, postponed his address until nearly 11 o'clock. This was a great injustice to him and also to the patient audience who had come to hear him. Mr. Abbott was introduced by Bishop Carey. He expressed his delight at his reception in our city and the favorable impression it had made upon him. The keynote of his speech was "Selling American Citizenship to Ourselfs". He stressed the importance of being living and dying American citizens. "The Negro," said Mr. Abbott, "has not received American citizenship. The Constitution gives it to him, but he is loath to take it. He discounts himself. He permits foreigners to come here and be admitted to the privilege of citizenship which he declines to grasp. He is sleeping on his rights, and needs to be awakened. So long as he discuses himself and acts as though he were not an American citizen, with all that term implies, he will be taken at the value which he (Continued on Page Two) Ere many weeks roll past Omaha base ball fans will be mulling their way into the vinton street League Park for the opening home game of the season. TOMMY The Omaha Western Leaguers, the Buffalooes, are now in spring training camp in Texas and most of the regulars and all of the rookies have arrived and are rapidly being whipped into shape by Manager Griggs, Coach Leidy and Owner Barney. Recent telegraphic word from their camp gives evidence that Omaha fans may expect a crackerjack club this season, for while Mr. Burch sold several of his stars, he has also been busy in the buying market. True, Old Joe Bonowitz, Lou Koupal, Joe Dailey, Nick Cullup and Frisco Thompson will not be back this season but we have King and Harris from Shreveport, Johnny Monroe from the same state, and a couple of pitchers from Pittsburg, besides a host of very promising looking rookies to mould another pennant winner from. THE MONITOR ESSAY CONTEST ON RACE RELATIONS AROUSES GREAT INTEREST AT KNOXVILLE College Students Are Being Encouraged to Give Conscientious Study to Important Question (Preston News Service.) Knoxville, Tenn., March 13.—Great interest is being shown by the students of Knoxville College in the prize for the best essay on Race Relations recently established by Rev J. M. McQuilkin, D.D., of Pittsburgh Pa. The general subject is "The Responsibilities of Each Race for Better Race Relations.' The contest is open to all the members of the junior and senior classes, and the majority of the members of both classes have signified their intention to compete for the prizes. Dr. McQuilkin intimated that the winning essay would be published in one of the leading religious periodicals. This effort to stimulate a deeper interest in and study of race relations is highly commendable, declared a member of the college faculty, and it is hoped that many other such prizes will be established in this and other institutions throughout the country. The students of both races should be encouraged to give this question serious and conscientious study. INDUSTRIAL RACE COMMISSION BILL EXPIRES WITH CONGRESS (COLUMBIAN PRESS BUREAU.) Washington, March 13, 1925.—The Foster Bill, creating a Federal Negro Industrial Commission, carried forward into the Senate by Senator Cummins, of Iowa, automatically expired with the closing of Congress on March 4th. This proposed legislation, which has been pending for nearly two years, and which was merely a new edition of the measure introduced some time ago by Senator Spencer, of Missouri, thus dies, and there can be no Negro Industrial Commission until new legislation has been introduced, which must run the usual course of Committee hearings, debate, passage, and signed approval by the President. Such a commission was originally conceived by the late Col. Giles B. Jackson, of Virginia, who secured substantial support from Ex-Congressman Layton of Delaware, Dr. Jesse Lawson, an eminent Negro sociologist of Washington, and other proponents, both white and colored. Opposition to the industrial bill was quite marked, and Mrs. Sadie Mossell Griffin, of Philadelphia, L. O. Walker, of the Washington Tribune, Attorney James P. Neill, of Washington, and others, were vigorous active in their protests. It is expected that another effort will be made to establish the proposed commission when the new Congress convenes. CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Costen desire to thank the Prisella Art Class and the Charity Circle of which Mrs. Ardena Watson is president for their appreciated gifts to and congratulations upon the birth of their son. There always has been and always will be criticism of the magnate who sells his stars after a pennant winning season. But sometimes this is justified and especially so in such a season as last year when Owner Burch has an actual loss in gate receipts necessary to meet expenses of over $15,000. This season from all predictions of writers all over the country promises to be one of the best for years and Omaha fans should rally to the standard of their pennant winners and perhaps we will repeat this season. Reports coming from the majors' training camps tell of the almost certain success of Nick Cullop with the Yankees, whom he is with now. In a training game this week between the regulars and yannigans, Nick won the game for the latter in the 9th inning with a long homer over Whitey Witt's head in deep center field. Thompson and Koupal, who are with Pittsburg at their camp in California both look good but will undoubtedly to farmed out for further experience. Oklahoma City is counting on Thompson being at their keystone sack this year for they expect Pittsburg to send him to them in payment for Don Songer.

A NEGRO PIONEER (Columbian Press Bureau.) Portland, Oreg., March 13, 1925.—Back in the early eighties, William Bush a Missouri Colored man went to Oregon. He had $10,000 in cash and wanted to buy some Oregon land; but as that State had not co-ordinated with the Federal constitution, Bush did not buy, but journeyed on to Washington Territory, where he bought a vast acreage which is now called Bush's prairie. Later, Bush was elected to the legislature. It was he who discovered what is known as Centennial wheat, and his exhibit took first prize at the Chicago World's Fair in 1892. The Bush family is and has been well known in the southwest part of the State and has added much to the progress of Washington. Now that the states of West Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin are making attractive offers to farmers, it would be well for those who know how to farm, especially those who are migrating from the southern states, to investigate these opportunities. NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN TO MEET Washington, March 13.—The National Council of Women of the United States will be hostess of the International Council of Women during the Quinquennial to be held in Washington during the week beginning May 4th. The International Council is a federation of national councils representing thirty-nine different countries, and is organized for the promotion of unity and mutual understanding between all associations of women working for the common welfare of humanity the world over. The National Association of Colored Women is the only organization of our group affiliated with the National Council. More than a year ago when the question of preparing the program was considered, Miss Hallie Q. Brown proposed that Negro spirituals, the only true American music, be included in the musical numbers; and Miss Brown was appointed to prepare this important part of the Quinquennial program. While in Washington attending the Inauguration of President Coolidge, Miss Brown held several conferences in interest of the Quinquennial musical evening. ALLEN CHAPEL, A. M. E. CHURCH O. J.

CLUB BOYS WHEEL CHAIR FOR INVALID CHILD La Viejo Banda Club had a “Doughnut nut day,” February 7th at the Jewell Building, to raise funds to purchase a wheel chair for an invalid child, Luella Beam. Our purpose has been accomplished. Little Luella has the chair which makes it possible for her to leave her bed for the first time in three years. The Club wishes to thank all who in any way helped to make this its first public undertaking a success. We regret that space will not permit us to give the names of all who contributed toward this end, and name only those who gave the larger cash donations: Mrs. Margariette Woody, Messrs. James Bell, Lee Counsellor L. C Carey. Team work brought happiness to all. Leona Johnson, Pres. Cleotta Reynolds, Secy. Vinnie Hieronymous, Chr.

Everett Sanders, an Indiana Republican, succeeded Hon. C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia as Secretary to President Coolidge. Mr. Sanders, who did not seek renomination or re-election to the next Congress, was born near Coalmont, Clay county, Indiana, March 8, 1882, the son of Rev. James Sanders and Melissa Everal Sanders. He taught school for three years; attended the Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute for two years; entered Indiana University in 1904, and graduated from that institution with the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1907. He was admitted to the Indiana Bar in the City of Terre Haute, in June, 1907, and practiced law until he entered Congress in 1917. At the National Convention, held in Cleveland, he was prominently mentioned as a running mate on the ticket with President Coolidge. ABBOTT ADDRESSES BUSINESS MEN AT COMMERCIAL CLUB Editor of The Chicago Defender Gives Some Wholesome Advice to Business and Professional Men. Robert S. Abbott, editor of The Chicago Defender, spoke before a large number of enterprising business and professional men at the Colored Commercial Club Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. The meeting was well attended by members from the Colored Commercial Club, Negro Business and Professional Men's League, and the Junior Colored Commercial Club. Mr. Abbott was very well pleased with the future outlook of the different organizations here among the Colored men. He emphasized the great need of cooperation if any progress is to be made by the people here. The keynote of the speech of the evening was his advice to the people to shoot straight; attempt to render a service to the people in the most efficient manner possible for the good of the people rather than for self aggrandement. Mr. Abbott told of a club formed by some of the business men in Chicago known as the A. B. C. It is the intention of the club to study race relations from a standpoint of business. In order to do this the members do all in their power to acquaint themselves with the best modern methods of business in its entirety. He says whenever a business or professional man comes to the city of Chicago, he is invited to speak before the Club. Mr. Abbott said that the Negro too long has neglected small details. "We must look out for these," he said. "They count more in our success than many of the bigger things." "We have a large number of men and women coming from the colleges and universities each year, make places for all these men and women as they come to us prepared," pleaded the speaker. REGATION REGATION LOUISIANA SUPREME COURT APPROVES SEGREGATION Negro Citizens Subscribe $40,000 to Carry Case to the Supreme Court of the United New Orleans, La., March 13.—The Supreme Court of Louisiana put its stamp of approval on the segregation ordinance passed by the city council some weeks ago, which prohibits Negroes from establishing residences in white residential neighborhoods and whites from residing in Negro neighborhoods. The case was the outgrowth of a suit for a restraining injunction by a white man residing in one side of a duplex house to prevent the owner from renting the other side to Negroes. Indications are that the case will be taken to the United States Supreme Court, as Negroes are reported to be enthusiastically subscribing to a $40,000 fund necessary to take the case to the higher court. It is said that the case has now attracted nation wide attention and many cities such as Louisville, Richmond, Washington, Baltimore and others are watching the Louisiana case with interest. BLACK BELT FARM LABOR SITUATION DISCUSSED (Preston News Service.) Montgomery, Ala., March. 13.—Shortage of productive man power in the eleven Black Belt counties of Alabama was dwelt upon in a talk before the Montgomery Kiwanis Club Tuesday, by Jesse B. Hearin. Mr. Hearin made a number of striking statements, based upon his investigation of economic conditions in the Black Belt. Among other things he said: “There are but 9,000 white men 21 years of age and above in the whole of Montgomery county. “There are less than 26,000 white men 21 years of age and over in the eleven counties of the Alabama Black Belt. “Since the beginning of the recent migration of Negroes from the South, twice as many Negroes have left these eleven Black Belt counties as there are white men above 21 years of age in this section.” Mr. Hearin remarked about the high quality of the citizenship of the Black Belt, the natural fertility of the Black Belt soils, and said that in his opinion the whole problem revolves about this question of peopling the Black Belt's fertile lands. He said that this must come before the South can hope to get industries for the cities. Once solve the land problem, and industries, I think, will naturally follow." Large percentages of Negro children of school age are not enrolled in school in Southern States, according to facts brought out at the Thirty-fourth Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference held in January. 28.6 per cent of the total number of Negro children between the ages of 10 and 14, living in the rural areas of Alabama did not attend school in 1920; in Georgia the corresponding percentage was 32.5; in Louisiana, 40.0; in Mississippi, 26.2. "CHRISTIANITY AN ANITY AND "CHRISTIANITY AND RACE PROBLEM" By J. H. Oldham, Published by The George Doran Company, 244 Madison Avenue, New York City. Price $1.75. By mail $1.85. "This book was undertaken at the request of the United Council for Missionary Education and is being published for them by the Student Christian Movement." But let no one think this reads like a missionary publication. It is of broad, humanitarian interest and recognizes the fact that race prejudice is rife in Protestantism, and that the Catholic Cathedral and the Moslem Mosque are more democratic than the Evangelical church. It is an effort to get at the reason for race prejudice, to describe something of its history, and to propose certain practical steps for its diminution. "The fundamental issues on racial relations are not ethnological or biological but ethical. Our difficulties do not arise primarily from the fact that differences exist. They are created by false ideas in our own minds." This is the keynote of the volume. The chapters are given up largely to probing these ideas, to see how far they are false and what truth if any, is in them. The author brings out with clearness the sufferings of men under humiliating conditions. It is not whether --- --- GROWING :::: :::: THANK YOU 505 Vol. X—No. 36 ON EVIL COOLIDGE STANDS FOUR SQUARE FOR THE CONSTITUTION Document Guarantees Equal Rights to All American Citizens Irrespective of Race, Creed or Color ANNOUNCES AMERICANISM Gives Sufficient Assurance to All Citizens to Press Forward Unafraid Into New Period Washington, March 13, 1923.—"Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all 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 the people, whatever their belief or race may be." Thus wrote President Coolidge, on August 22, 1924, in a letter defending the ambuition of a Negro citizen to become a candidate for a seat in Congress; and on March 4, 1925, after taking oath of office again as President of the United States, Mr. Coolidge again made direct reference to the U. S. Constitution in its pronouncement against discrimination as to any citizen or class of citizens. "It would be well," said President Coolidge, "if we could replace much that is only false and ignorant prejudice with a true and enlightened pride of race. American seeks no earthly empire built on blood and force." Thus are American ideals announced upon an American platform, and it was a happy truth that after taking oath on March 4 to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, the President, neither by reference nor otherwise, made any distinction as to any citizen or class of citizens in his discussion of the future administration of the affairs of the American Government. Such a designation would have been quite unnecessary in view of the guarantees which the President has uttered in such unfailing terms since taking office. The die is cast, and with an ideal background. Equality for all citizens, without the slightest suggestion of "denying any measure of full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people," for whom, says President Coolidge, he "feels his responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican Party." This is quite enough assurance for all citizens, white and colored, to press forward into the new four-year period of progress, unafraid, consoled, and safeguarded, and with the knowledge that government of the people, for the people and by the people exists today as it did when the Constitution was amended so as to repledge American independence to all who were worthy of its protection, its peace, and its guaranties. D RACE PROBLEM" a man is poor but whether he is respected that is of prime importance. If a man lose half his crop by flood it is hard, but it is not insupportable as it is, when a conqueror takes half his crop from him in taxes, lording it over him in the meanwhile. The unchristian, petty insults that the white practices against the black, the author condemns in no uncertaintion words. He scores such men as Prof. Josey of Dartmouth, whose book I reviewed last summer, who would have the white race deliberately deny the advantages of civilization to the colored. "To settle things by the callous pursuit of material interests, and the use of superior force," he says, "and to settle them by reasoned appeal to justice and equity are two irreconcilable modes of procedure and the world must make its choice between them. The one leads to an ordered and civilized society, the other to anarchy and ruin." Mr. Oldham gives us five practical suggestions: 1. The conversion of our minds. 2. The growth of right knowledge on racial matters. 3. Cooperation between the races. 4. The creation of a right public opinion. 5.

AN IMPERATIVE NEED. IT is becoming increasingly apparent that there never was a time in the history of our race in this country when an honest, sane, fearless and intelligent press was more urgently needed than today. As the race advances in intelligence, moral character, wealth an self-respect, malignant and hostile forces oppose its progress and advance. These forces are not to be feared, but they are to be met and conquered and this can only be done by the moulding of a right public sentiment and for this we need our own publications, which should be adequately supported and financed. The race press is growing in power and influence and is continuing to grow, but it is regrettable that so many of our race are so short-sighted as not to appreciate the important work race newspapers are doing. They are meeting an imperative need. We are not a pessimist, but an optimist of the first rank. At the same time, however, we are not ignorant of conditions as they are and realize that they WILL be BETTER only as we use every ounce of energy given us to make them better. Opposition makes one strong and that, we take it is, the Divine purpose back of the opposition which confronts our racial group today. Pulpit and press have an imperative duty to perform in encouraging racial solidarity, self-respect, and self-resourcefulness. We need to have stressed the constructive side of our racial life and this the race press is striving to do. It can be done and will be done more effectively as the race journal, magazine and newspapers are more adequately supported. WAKE UP! OUR self-respecting, forward-looking citizens who are paying taxes for the support of the public schools in this city must not sleep on their rights. We must not cease our efforts until we have representation on the teachers' corps of our public schools, and representation in other departments. There are nearly 3,000 employees in the public school system of Omaha and while almost every nationality has representation in some department our people have not even a janitor. Is there anything right about this? Are you content to have it so? Well-qualified teachers of color are just as competent to impart knowledge to an ignorant and unlettered child, white or black, as are well-qualified white teachers to perform the same praiseworthy service. Urge your children to qualify and then organize and fight and continue to fight until the cause is won. Omaha has many fair-minded people who have the courage to stand for right and justice and we are only asking for right and justice when we ask that our sons and daughters having met the standards set, educationally and morally, will be given a square deal. Taxation without representation was accounted tyranny in THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedma negligible. No element of An yet clearly woven itself into and acting as the American N explorers and helped in explore the first the foundation of the cause of the rapid growth economic importance. Moder A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has depended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the choiceest heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Fulk."

Wake up. Cease sleeping on your rights. PLAN FOR BEAUTY SPRING is at hand. It is not too early to call attention to the importance of laying plans to make our homes as beautiful as it is possible to do. We have many home-owners in this city who take great pride in keep up their property. These need no urging. There are, however, many who are tenants and the houses which they occupy and the surroundings are such as to lend little incentive to beautifying. And yet, even these, can be made attractive and sightly. Suppose we all try to see just what show-places we can make our homes and those sections in which we chiefly reside. Let us plan for well-kept lawns and beautiful flowers. Let us do our part to make Omaha a city beautiful. And let us pound upon the backs of the City Commissioners to do their duty in improving the streets and alleys of the neglected sections in which some of our folks live. AND TO START IT. WILL Joseph Koutsky and Dean Noyes jump in their fliver some day next week and drive to Twenty-first and Nicholas street and view the beautiful rubbish piled up on the northwest corner of Twenty-first and Nicholas? Invite Louis R. Bostwick who is featuring beautiful spots in Nebraska to photograph the scene, have it published in the photogravure section of one of our dailies with the inscriptions "This beautiful scene is on a much-travelled thoroughfare within less than a mile of the city hall." WHY NOT? WHY should not North Twenty-fourth street be as beautiful and attractively lighted as the corresponding section of South Twentyfourth street? Whose fault is it, that it isn't? The Northside merchants should wake up There are outlying residence sections better lighter than this busy section of Northly Twenty-fourth street. OUR BUSINESS DIRECTORY HOW do you like our Negro Business Directory? Good idea, isn't it? Well, if you feel that way about it, get into it and just see how many and various are the businesses, callings and professions in which our people are engaged in this city. That's the object as well as to advertise and help build up your business. BE CHEERFUL BE cheerful, it's good for your own health and also the health of the other fellow.

He told how the race riot in Chicago had unified the race. He stressed the need of this unification everywhere. He plead for thoroughness of preparation for all work and insistence upon getting work upon merit. Efficiency will break down barriers of prejudice. He scorned the short-sightedness of those who favored separate schools as illustrating the discounting of the Negro's American citizenship. His closing counsel was "get together, stand together and take your status as American citizens. Be satisfied with nothing less." Preceding Mr. Abbott's address there was a varied program consisting of musical numbers by a chorus from Pilgrim Baptist Church and Bethel, solos by H. L. Preston and Miss Irene Cochran; a well-written history of Bethel by Mrs. S. K. Brownlow; remarks by C. C. Galloway, master of ceremonies; an admirable and well-prepared address by Mr. Robert Smith, clerk of the District Court, or "The Value of the Church to the Community"; an earnest address and plea for Bethel's mortgage fund by Bishop Carey and the receiving of offerings and pledges for the same, which totaled about $400, and well-spoken words of welcome to the guest of honor by Master Thirkield Garrett, a thirteen-year-old high school lad, which was an outstanding feature of the program. The invocation was said by Rev. J. E. Ellis of Grove M. E. and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. C. A. Williams. Tuesday night there was a banquet at Bethel A. M. E. Church as the closing feature of the celebration at which Mr. Abbott delivered an address on his observations in South America. The Rev. Frederick Divers is the pastor of Bethel. Continued from Page One gospel. These are vital suggestions and while practical are difficult enough to carry out. To have correct knowledge on racial matters, Mr. Oldham points out some of the vital errors of our scientists, especially our psychologists, is no simple matter. Scientists as well as other folk think in promo- They test the ability of the colored child on a basis of the capability of the white child. To create a right public opinion. Who has not dreamed of this and waked to see its impossibility? To spread the gospel. One may question that. Apparently the only Western nation free from race prejudice, anti-imperialistic, is atheist Russia. Certainly in those parts of the United States, where the church flourishes the most, there is the most racial intolerance. It is likely that if the doors of every Christian church were to close for good tomorrow, there would not be a whit's difference between the relations of colored and white. But the appeal to men's humanity is always worth while and this book in same, kindly fashion insists on the fundamental doctrine of all great religions, that all men are equal in the sight of God. With this truth in his heart Mr. Oldham examines the relations of the English speaking peoples to the colored races and for the most part argues wisely and convincingly regarding what he sees. RECORDER OF DEEPS FROE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL DEPUTY Washington, March 13, 1925.—Just as February closed, Congress passed Bill S. 1934, authorizing the appointment of a deputy recorder of deeds, as an additional assistant to Recorder Arthur G. Froe, appointee of the late President Harding, and Coolidge holdover. According to the new bill, which, it is said, is now ready for signature, the second deputy recorder is authorized to perform any and all acts which the recorder is authorized to do. The salary is to be $2,000, payable with the approval of the U. S. Attorney-General. The Recorder has not yet given any intimation of the person who i s to receive the plum.

Britt, well-known and successful physician, returned Saturday, February 28th from Higginsville, Mo., where he had been called by the illness and death of his mother, Mrs Anice Britt, who passed peacefully away in the home in which she had lived for forty years, February 25th. The funeral was held from the Methodist church of which she had long been a devoted member, Friday afternoon, February 27th and was attended by a large concourse of friends of both races. The local paper paid a high tribute to her as one of the most highly respected citizens of Higginsville. She is survived by several children and two grandchildren. N. Y. CIVIC CLUB HEARS SPEECHES ON NEGRO' GIFTS. The Civic Club of New York City recently gave an evening to the discussion of the Negro's gifts to America. The meeting arose as a consequence of the "Harlem Number", published as the March issue of The Survey Graphic Magazine. Speakers at the meeting were Prof. Alain Locke, of Howard University, who planned and worked on the "Harlem Number" of the Survey Graphic; Dr. W. E. B. Bois, Editor of THE CRISIS; James Weldon Johnson and Walter White, Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Konrad Bercovici, author and lecturer; and Miss Elise Johnson McDougall, Assistant Principal of Public School 89 in Harlem. Prof. Locke spoke of the youth movement in the Negro race and its spiritual and cultural significance. Dr Du Bois censured the historians' conspiracy to deny the Negro credit for his share in America's upbuilding. Mr. Johnson spoke of the bad moral effect upon the nation that comes of oppressing a minority group and said the race problem involves "saving black America's body and white America's soul." Konrad Bercovici gave his impressions of Harlem life and ridiculed "Nordic" pretensions to superiority. Miss McDougald told of her work among race mothers and children. Mr. White discussed the effects of race prejudice on white and colored people. A packed auditorium applauded the addresses. The Civic Club is the outstanding liberal club of New York City, and a meeting of this sort held there is expected to have far-reaching effects.
