HOWARD UNI HEAD DRAWS ALUMNI FIRE LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a HOWA NEGRO STUDENTS OPPOSED TO WAR AND MILITARISM Intercollegiate Association Holds Important Conference and Delegates Express Their Opinions 18 COLLEGES ARE REPRESENTED Demand Better Trained Leadership and Advocate Stronger Faculties and Also Higher Standards (Associated Negro Press,) New York, N. Y., Aug. 7.—In Nyack, the Intercollegiate Association, an association of Negro college students and graduates, held a student conference on Saturday and Sunday. It brought together a representative body of young men and women. There were sixty-two students and graduates present, representing eighteen institutions, among them being the leading colleges and universities of the country. They discussed grave and vital problems, and went down on record as being opposed to war and militarism. They demanded better trained leaders, advocated stronger faculties for Negro colleges, condemned fraternities and sororities among Negro students, as in most cases not living up to their standards. Before the conference adjourned, it sent memorials to the Chinese students, commending their stand against foreign interference, and to France deploring the brewing war in the Riff. There was a Japanese present, representing the University of Chicago, and one white delegate that came from the University of Missouri. Some of the causes of student unrest were mentioned as faculty interference; the question of discipline; the question of curriculum; and the crushing of initiative on the part of the students. Cleveland G. Allen, representing New York University, said that Fisk University was a fine example of the failure of the faculty to understand the student point of view. Eugene F. Corbic, representing City College, struck out at the fraternities among Negro college students, and said that they were not living up to their ideals. He said as they exist at present they should be abolished. George Hall, representing Howard and New York Universities, said that it had been his observation that white presidents of Negro colleges were paternal in their attitude. He said that Negro colleges with white president should demand of them the highest scholarship and fitness. W. T. Andrews, representing Columbia University, scored the fraternities for their indifference to many of the vital problems of life. PLAYGROUNDS AND RECREATIONAL CENTERS DEVELOPING MUSICIANS (Associated Negro Press.) Richmond, Va., Aug. 7.—Remarkable interest is being shown here in the musical program which has been developed as a part of the activities of the seven playgrounds conducted in the colored district of the city. Youngsters and their elders have entered into the community songs and the various dramatic activities co-connected with them with a vim and zest. Last week, George L. Johnson, musical director and organizer of the National Playground and Recreational Association of America, who also is one of the Race's best tenors, came to the city to conduct a number of song services at the playgrounds. Mr. Johnson's appearance met with a hearty response and he made a lasting impression on Richmond's music lovers while sharpening the ambitions of those who have been regular participants in the community wide efforts. His work won of a highly specialized type and he caught the fancy of the crowds who joined in the singing of such numbers as the Negro National anthem with vigor, drawing it out of the usual hundrum hymnal type of song as it has been sung by most of our group and giving it a martial effect. Authorities are predicting that many fine voices will be discovered through the singing classes conducted at these and similar playgrounds elsewhere, and point to the fact that singing properly conducted is one of the most popular of recreational activities. FRANCE DENIES RIFFS EQUALITY New York, N. Y., Aug. 7.—The hitch in peace negotiations between the French and the Riffans seems to be on the point as to the comparative equality of the French and their antagonists. The French have so far refused to admit the Riffes their omnale, and, as a consequence, the Riffans, though holding the upper hand in the fighting, have been adamant in their refusal to consider peace terms. France wants to treat Abd-El-Krim as a rebel. This does not indicate an early peace in Morocco unless the tribes affiliated with the Riffans become panicky at the extensive military operations which are under way.

MOSAIC TEMPLARS OF AMERICA IN MONSTER CONVENTION *(Associated Negro Press.) Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 7.—In a convention tense with interest and attended by the largest delegation in its history, the Grand Lodge of the Mosaic Templars of America adjourned Saturday night after a meeting which was notable because of the amount of beneficial legislation passed. The 3,500 people who were brought to the city as a result of the quadrennial session turned Little Rock into a gala city during their stay and crowded to capacity at all times the Mosaic Temple at 9th and Broadway, in which the meeting was held. National Grand Master Dr. S. J. Elliott who presided and National Grand Scrife A. E. Bush headed the slate of officers who were reelected with acclaim. Secretary Bush reported 106,000 financial members on the roll and assets in excess of one million dollars. The body agreed to begin at once a campaign for 20,000 members open to those between the ages of 16 and 30. Bishop W. T. Vernon of Kansas delivered the principal address and among other things stressed the advantages of America. "There is no better place in the world for the Negro than in America," Bishop Vernon declared. "I have traveled all over the globe, and I know America is the greatest country in the world. This is our country to protect with our lives, if need be." The convention voted to purchase the copyright of the ritual from the Bush family, thereby ending the issue raised by Atty. Scipio Jones, who received administration support in re-election to his ofice of Grand Attorney. Among the state grandmasters present were William J. Morsell, Illinois; A. W. Weatherford, Texas; L. L. Powell, Alabama; H. S. Davis, Louisiana; W. E. Davis, Florida; D. M. McQueen, Nebraska; H. E. Stewart, Kentucky; Dr. J. W. Goodgame, Alabama; D. B. Bryson, Kansas; E. W. West, W. E.

RACE 4 ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey —Arrangements have now been completed for what is probably the most distinguished reception committee that has ever greeted girls of our Group in American history. With the acceptance of Mr. Wilson Lovett, distinguished Bank President of Louisville, Kentucky, a total of five truly notable industrial and professional leaders have signified their intention of having Miss Golden Brown of America and her sister beauties, in this city on October 9th and 10th. Mr. Lovett, who is one of the financial leaders of our race, was one of the principal speakers at the recent celebration at the dedication of the new office building of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, at Columbus, Ohio, and in constant demand as an after dinner speaker. Miss Brown, who is as well known in Scotland and England, as in the United States, is one of the most distinguished educators and forceful Chautauqua speakers among our Group. NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1925 N. A. A. C. P. SECRETARY ADVISES CLEVELAND LABOR COMM. ON RACE RELATIONS In response to a letter from Clark L. Mock, labor commissioner of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, asking for advice in dealing with race relations in that city, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., recently forwarded a statement of general principles to be observed in that field. Mr. Mock asked what means could be taken to reduce the excessive rent charges to colored people with resultant overcrowding and disease. He also inquired about the problem of schooling for colored children newly arrived from the South. And he asked whether residential segregation was to be recommended. Mr. Johnson's reply, as it relates to the problems mentioned by Mr. Mock, is as follows: If you will look into the matter you will evidently find that the number of houses in Cleveland available for colored people is limited. It is then necessary to go into the causes of this limitation. Why is it that colored people cannot get houses in which to live at the normal rents charged to other people? I think an investigation of this matter would reveal the fact that the basic cause is race prejudice. Probably there is a general shortage of houses in Cleveland but you will evidently find that this general shortage is decidedly more acute where colored people are concerned; and this, I am confident, is due to race or color discrimination. Of course if colored people had the privilege of renting houses without any limitations of color being imposed upon them, this abnormal shortage, and also high rentals, would immediately disappear. NOTABLE No. 1: EDOUAR No. 2: ROBERT No. 3: MISS HA No. 4: WILSON No. 5: EUGENE Besides her great work in the cause of temperance, and her famous "Sunday lectures," Miss Brown has endeared herself to thousands by her arduous and long continued labors as a member of the faculty of Wilberforce College in Ohio. Mr. Edouard Scott, another member of the International Golden Brown Beauty Committee, has been asked to serve by Madame Mamie Hightower, because of his well known achievements as a Rembrandt of race artists, a master wielder of brush and pen, whose love of beauty and high ideals are apparent in every one of his masterpieces. The Executive Secretary, Joner the Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, is too well known as a publicist and writer for further comment to be necessary, and his recent acceptance of Madame Hightower's request to serve in the cause of beauty assures both his fellow judges and the fortunate girls who win the Golden Brown Beauty Contest the rare privilege of association and con- You state: "Experience here seems to show that colored children from the South generally make slower progress in the school than local children," etc. What you state evidently does give rise to a problem, but it is not so "serious" a problem as you appear to think, nor is it at all permanent. Colored children who come up from the South make slower progress in the Cleveland schools not because of innate mental deficiencies, but because of an almost complete lack of proper school training and facilities in the localities from which they have come. When you consider that three to four months is the average school term for colored children in rural districts of the South and that even for those three or four months they got very inadequate training, there is little to wonder at in their being backward when they are entered in such schools as you have in Cleveland. A colored child coming up from the backwoods of the South and entering upon a Cleveland school not only finds himself far behind pupils among whom he is thrown, but because of his prior lack of training, finds himself older in years than those in the particular class he is assigned. This naturally begets a sense of embarrassment and humiliation, which adds another handicap to his progress. The question of segregated schools should not for a moment be considered. Segregated schools are not only out of place in a state like Ohio, because they violate the spirit of democracy and true Americanism, but also on the ground of pure economy. They cost too much, and not alone in money. S IN LIMEN D SCOTT. L. VANN. LLIE Q. BROWN. LOVETT. KINCKLE JONES. tact with one of the most intelligent and earnest men of the Race.

There are still vestiges of it in certain backward parts of the world but it is not for a progressive and enlightened city like Cleveland to think of. You are seeking practical means to overcome, or at least reduce, excessive rentals, over-crowding and spread of disease among colored people. Enforced segregation will simply magnify conditions which you wish to abolish. Moreover, enforced segregation is contrary to the Constitution of the United States. In New York City, where there is a larger Negro population than in any equal area in the world, the whole question of race relationship is adjusting itself upon a sound and impartial basis. Although the great mass of Negroes in New York live in one section it is chiefly because they have bought up that section and made their homes there; but in New York City, the Negro, in a higher degree than in any city in the country, I feel, is regarded as a citizen of New York and not as some separate entity. And so, conversely, the Negro regards himself as a citizen of New York. This matter-of-fact relationship between white and colored people in New York, particularly in the Harlem section, is maintained without the efforts of inter-racial committees or any other intermediary groups. It is based upon the idea of common citizenship. I believe this is the only true basis upon which these apparently perplexing and serious conditions can be adjusted. I am not speaking specifically for Cleveland. I am laying down some general principles which are bound to work if they are given a fair trial.

According to terms of the contest, the next forty-eight girls (the leader in each State in the Union) will each receive a dazzling diamond ring. The idea of the contest was conceived by Madame Hightower, in order to find the most beautiful girls of our Group in every State of the Union, and to suitably honor them and pay them homage. From 50 to 100 votes are packed with each of the Golden Brown Beauty Preparations (which have been such a boon to the girls and women of the Group in the further-most corners of our country, as well as in the teeming centers.) Lately, further interest among the hundreds of lovely girls entered has been stimulated by the announcement of a number of cash and other special weekly each week beginning July 20th. The whole nation seems to be talking of this crowning success of Madame Hightower's long career POSTHUMOUS AWARD OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS TO COLORED MEDICAL OFFICER (Associated Negro Press.) Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 7.—Notification of the posthumous award of the Distinguished Service Cross to Lieutenant Urbane F. Bass, medical corps, 372nd regiment, 93rd division of the A. E. F., was received by relatives of the deceased in this city Wednesday. Lieutenant Bass was mortally wounded while rendering first aid in an advanced position under heavy enemy fire at Menthois, France, October 6, 1918. Both legs were shot away at the hip by an exploding shell. He died on the way to a hospital. Later his body was returned to Raleigh for burial, and was interred in the family lot here. The recipient of the award studied medicine at Shaw University here, and was practicing his profession in Fredericksburg, Va., at the outbreak of the war when he enlisted. He married Maude L. Vass of Raleigh. His brother-in-law Dr. R. S. Vass, a prominent Negro physician here, was also attached to the 372 regiment, and was stationed in a field hospital a short distance back of the lines when Lieutenant Bass was killed. When Bass was living in this city, he was Jim Crowed just like other Negroes and the newspapers were disrespectful to his wife when they referred to her. Nevertheless, he went to France and gave his life to protect his country. TURNS TABLES ON ACCUSER (Associated Negro Press). Salem, N. J., Aug. 7—George Jackson, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of attempting to rob Charles Newkirk, white in the latter's small store near the foot of Second street, was held for a further hearing. In his plea to Judge Mecum he declared that he was in Newkirk's place to buy liquor and that he was a regular customer. Further questioning by the police resulted in an immediate raid on Newkirk's place, where much moonshine was seized. And now Newkirk is held under $500 bail on the charge of selling liquor. KLAN PARADE CALLED OFF Washington, D. C., Aug. 7—The widely advertised and much protested Ku Klux Klan parade which was expected to be the crowning feature of the forthcoming meeting of the klan here August 8, has been called off. The decision of the organization was not due to the protest of any particular group or organization but to fictional fights within the Klan. Few things have attracted more attention and drawn more fire than did the announcement some time ago that the Ku Klux Klan was going to parade at the nation's capitol. Protest after protest was sent to the director of public buildings, parks, etc., and to President Calvin Coolidge. It was even reported that violence had been threatened. HOTEL PATTON ARRIVALS W.

Stanley Durke, president of Howard university, were passed, Emory B. Smith, alumni field secretary, and Jesse Moreland, member of the trustee board, were also vigorously attacked. The speakers were Dr. George Frazier Miller, president of the General Alumni association, Brooklyn; Arthur W. Mitchell, president of the Welfare league; Neval Thomas, N. A. A. C. P. official, and Armond W. Scott, past grand exalted ruler of the Elks. The high spot of the meeting was the presence of Emory Scott, who is said to have disregarded the advice of friends and to have gone to the meeting "to show that he was not afraid." He is reported to have endeavored to heckle Dr. Frazier Miller, drawing from the latter the caustic personal sally that Smith "had a face that only a mother could love." Arthur W. Mitchell stated that he accepted the presidency of the league because he was compelled to remove his son from Howard on the request of the boys' mother, a graduate of Howard. He stated that this action was due to "intolerable conditions at the university." He said in proof of this statement: "During this administration there have been two serious strikes of the student body, said to be due to maladministration, and another strike of students is threatened at the beginning of the fall term." Communications were received from Attorney Isaac B. Nutter, Atlantic City, and Thomas Dyett, New York City. The resolutions adopted were signed by the committee: Rev. W. D.

New York, Aug. 7.—In an interview given the New York World, Dr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Piper, who have just returned from 12 years work in the so-called barbaric Masumba district of the Belgian Congo, teaching natives how to dress and live morally, expressed themselves as being "shocked and mortified" at the immodesty of the girls and women here. "Why, there isn't much difference after all between America and Masumba," exclaimed Mrs. Piper. "In Masumbaland we tried to teach the women that they should wear something more than beads, palm oil and sunshine. But here we were shocked and mortified to discover that the girls and women wear only paint, powder and suggestion. Clothing and dancing in this civilization is worse than in Africa, for there the natives are unmoral, while here they are immoral. "It's hard to believe that the world has gone backward so fast. In the Congo we are trying to make the women wear clothes and we have succeeded to the extent of having them wrap the middle of the bodies in cloth, while in the white man's land the women are slowly divesting themselves of clothes. What would the natives say if they saw some of the things we have seen since we left Africa?" New York, Aug. 7—An active response has come from the alumni of Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes in the undertaking to raise $5,000,000 for the two Southern Negro institutions, according to a recent statement by Chella A. Austin, treasurer of the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund. Gifts from the alumni have come from every state in the country and from every foreign land where Hampton-Tuskegee graduates live. Of the former students and graduates of Hampton and Tuskegee 2,368 have already made pledges totalling $152,158.

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 choicest hertinges 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 Folk."

Daniels, who might have saved himself had he shirked duty, lost his life in trying to save the lives of passengers on his car. Dangerously injured himself, he directed the doctors' attention to a litter girl urging medical attendance upon her first. All through Daniels showed himself to be a man, and the tribute to his memory paid by the Pullman company is a gracious and appreciated honor. We hope, however, that this action upon the part of the Pullman company is but the earnest of better recognition for its faithful and intelligent employees of color. Daniels' act is not an isolated one. Similar devotion even unto death of humble Negro Pullman porters will be found in the records of the company. And yet, despite this fact and the enviable reputation that Pullman porters have earned for intelligent, efficient and faithful service, the Pullman porter has been forced to remain a porter. No promotion for him seems possible. He sees white men, in some cases intellectually his inferior, for many Pullman porters are men of liberal education, promoted to executive and administrative positions while he, however competent, if he remain in the employ of the Pullman company for fifty years, must be content to be a porter. Not that this is not an honorable calling, but in every calling there should be held out to men the possibility of promotion. We hope, therefore, that the honors bestowed upon its porters for distinguished service by the great Pullman company may not be confined to posthumous honors, but may be extended to the living in some substantial promotions in selected meritorious cases which will manifest a spirit of justice upon the part of this great public-serving corporation and prove an inspiration to that large group of men who strive so earnestly to deserve faithfully the company which gives them employment by rendering courteous and efficient service to its patrons—the Pullman porter. THE NEGRO CRIMINAL EVERY criminal, black or white, is a liability upon the community and, the sooner he is apprehended and punished by due process of law the better it is for the community and for society. Unfortunately the black race suffers more from its criminal element than the white race does from its criminal element. The reason is this, the deeds of the white criminal are looked upon as purely individual. They are charged to the individual, not to his race. But the deeds of the black criminal are regarded, in the popular mind, not as individual but as racial. The race is charged with it. Of course this is absolutely unjust and unfair. Thoughtful and broad-minded men of the other race, of whom there are not a few, admit this injustice and inveigh against it, but at the same time, by a mental attitude which it is hard to understand the popular white mind seems to regard crime by a black man, as racial, and worse than a crime of the same nature by a white man.

The daily press, wittingly or unwittingly, contributes to this strange psychology by stressing the race of the individual, if he belongs to the black race, rather than the crime. The self-respecting, law-abiding colored citizen suffers from the reflection cast upon him by the few criminals of his race in way that the white citizen does not, from his. Therefore, we are more deeply interested in seeing that criminals of our race are apprehended and brought to justice than the white citizen is. We hope, therefore, that the alleged nego criminals who have been committing crimes in this community recently, such as burglaries, holdups, murders and other crimes, be speedily apprehended, tried and sentenced. We insist, however, that they be regarded and treated simply as criminals or as persons accused of crime, with out extension of their offense, or magnifying of their crime because of their race or color.

Other sections of the city are asking for improved lights. They are getting them. North Twenty-fourth street can have improved lighting, and heaven knows it is badly needed, if the merchants and business men will unite get busy and go after them. The Negro and Jewish merchants and business men, who are vastly in the majority in that section are too easily satisfied. An attractive and well-lighted street will prove a valuable business asset. The Monitor will lead the fight for better lights on North Twenty-fourth, a white way from Cuming to Lake, and we will win it, if the business men and property owners in that section will back us up. Here then is the slogan, "A White Way from Cuming to Lake." Let us get busy and get it before the American Legion Convention.

(Northwestern Christian Advocate) On a recent morning a newspaper reader of our acquaintance discovered two items of news in the only paper he thinks he can afford to take. One item told that a student of Michigan university, DeHart Hubbard by name, had smashed the world's record in the running broad jump with a leap of 25 feet 10% inches. Another told of an attack on a store-keeper by a thief, who shot and wounded him, and then made off with the contents of the cash register. The day before, the same newspaper reader had heard a highly-training choir in one of Methodism's most famous churches as it sang with exquisite tenderness a pleading and wistful composition. "Listen to the Lambs." Now it happens that the athlete was a Negro, the robber was a Negro, and the composer of the music was a Negro. The point is that this was mentioned only once. Guess when? We have no more objection to the fact of his race being told when a Negro goes wrong than we should have if the paper gave similar information where a Jew, a Vermonter and a Czechoslovak were implicated. But we do wonder why it should seem necessary at one time and not at another? Neither do we ask that a Negro composer shall be announced as such. It is enough that he is a musician. But if "Negro" must always go on the debit side of the account, fair play suggests that the credit side might also use the word. These reflections may throw a modest ray of light on the general opinion that Negroes are lawless far beyond the average of races. He was an observant man who said, "In six months I could make this country a most uncomfortable place for red-headed men if I were permitted, whenever a red-headed man happened to become a law breaker, to state in the newspapers that he had red hair; always supposing that the hue of every other lawbreaker's hair should never be mentioned." Especially, we venture to add, if whenever a red-headed man did anything praise-worthy, all reference to his red-headedness were studiously avoided.

Artis, assistant secretary of the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A., reports te the National Association for the Advance: ment of Colored People that after a vig: orous exchange of letters he has induced the “Living Church”, one of the oldest and most powerful of religious magazines in this country, to adopt as its style the spelling of the word Negro with « capital N. The editor, Frederic Morehouse, re- ported that the matter hid never been brought to his attention before and that he would order the change made at once. /_ In his letter to the “Living Church", Mr. Artis said: “There isn't a publication in America (and there are over a hundred weeklies) issued by Negroes, which does not capital: ize the word ‘Negro’ wherever it occurs. As I mentioned, many of the white writers do the same. Under separate cover I am enclosing the March number of the ‘Sur vey Graphic’ and you will see their office use which is common to many others.” LABOR DEPARTMENT CORRECTS BULLETIN The U. S. Department of Labor through its acting secretary, W. W. Husband, has ‘offered to correct one of its bulletins in response to a complaint about the word: ing of it, mide by the National Associa: tion for the Advancement of Colored Peo: ‘ple. The N. A. A. C. P. was informed by ‘ove of ite Kansas) branches ‘that Labor Depattment bulletins had been posted bearing the following sentence: | “Very few colored men are used in the ‘wheat harvest and none should start for ‘the fields unless they have definite assur ‘ance of employment.” The sentence was characterized as-not ‘only discriminatory and unfair to colored ‘men but as tending to create prejudice in the minds of employers of farm hands. In response to the N. A. A. C. P. letter, the Department of Labor has offered to amend the bulletin and the N. A. A. C. P. has asked that the offending clause be stricken out of all bulletins and that those already in circulation be recalled and des troyed. OLD FOLKS HOME ASSOCIATION MEETS IN ELMWOOD PARK ‘The Old Folks Home Association held its monthly meeting Wednesday. morning at Elmwood park. It was preceded by a breakfast served to the members and in: ited guests, which included the ministers ‘of the city and their wives. After the ‘breakfast Mrs. Martha Taylor Smith, the president, spoke of the mortgaged debt of $4,000 which remains on the property and invited « discussion as to what should be ‘done concerning it. The concensus of ‘opinion voiced by the ministers present ‘was that a drive should be arranged for probably early next year to raise a fund to pay off this debt. An educational cam: paign should precede the drive clearing up misapprehensions and misunderstana: ings in the minds of the people which now exist. This campaign should” make it site that while it is true the Community ‘Chest contributes towards the maintenance ‘of the home, it does not contribute one ‘penny towards paying the indebtedness on the home, This must be taken care of in some other way. ‘The ministers present, the Rey, Messrs. Burchardt, Botts, Ellis, C. A.
