While visiting a friend in a hospital John E. Walker of Pittsburg, Kansas noticed that a piece of paper or cardboard was placed over the top of a drinking glass to protect its contents from dust or other particles which might not improve the patient's condition. He noticed further that it was quite easy for this temporary covering to become displaced. This gave him an idea which eventually may mean millions to him. He believed that he could invent a device that would serve as a sanitary and permanent lid or covering for a drinking glass to be used in the sick room or elsewhere that could be lifted and lowered, or opened and closed automatically. The Walker sanitary drinking glass here illustrated, was the result. The John E. Walker, President. device consists of an aluminum frame, in which the glass is placed, with a small lever which lifts the aluminum top when the container is raised from the stand or table, and automatically lowers the top when the container is placed on the table. Mr. Walker has secured a patent upon his invention. A large firm has offered to take it over and manufacture this useful article, paying him a royalty. But the Harry W. Leland, Sec. Treas. patentee wants to build up an institution which will bring the advantages to be obtained to the members of his race. He is ambitious to keep it in the hands of the race and develop a business concern that will give varied employment to young men and women of the race who are deprived of like opportunities elsewhere. The Walker-Leland Manufacturing Company of Omaha, Nebraska, has before been organized and incorporated for the purpose of manufacturing and marketing Mr. Walker's invention. The capital stock of the corporation is placed at $10,000.00 divided into one thousand shares of common stock of the par value of $10.00 a share. The officers of the company are John E. Walker, patentee, president and director; William E. Jackson, vice-president and directo; Harry W. Leland, secretary-treasurer and director.

While Dr. Amos B. Madison and several friends were crossing Twenty-fourth street opposite Dreamland Hall early Tuesday morning he and Gene Harris were knocked down by an automobile driven by Cole Anderson, 3414 Ohio street. Dr. Madison, who was commissioned at the Officers Training Camp at Des Moines and served overseas, was severely bruised and lacerated and his skull fractured. He was taken to Swedish Mission hospital where he is receiving careful attention.

There was also a five-course dinner of which many partook. The music and dinner started at 9 p. m. and lasted until the wee hours of morning. The music was played in the lobby of the new hotel, a very singly arranged little place. The dining rooms were a little to the left, to adjoining the lobby.

PLEADS FOR COLLEGE EDUCATION LeMars, Ia.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—The anniversary address on the education of the Negro before the white ministers and visitors of the Northwest Iowa Conference in session here, was delivered by Dr. I. Garland Penn. Dr. Penn recounted the wonderful growth of the schools and colleges for the Negro of the Methodist Episcopal Church, saying that thirty years ago there was not a Negro filling the presidency of one of the schools, now there are eleven Negro presidents. Thirty years ago most of the teachers were white missionaries; now out of 450 teachers fully four hundred are Negroes. The university of the system at Atlanta, Georgia, is headed by a Negro, while the institution having the largest college enrollment has a Negro as president. This, he said, showed what the investment of white missionaries and means meant in race development and assumption of responsibility. He said, however, we are not overstocked with college graduates for leadership: for in sixty years there have been graduated only ten thousand and this number has been depleted from time to time by death. He stated, however, that more Negroes were seeking college education today than ever. In 1910 there were not more than 100 college students in the Negro Methodist Episcopal Schools while in 1924 there were 690. Dr. Penn dwelt at length upon religious as well as intellectual training as a solvent for problems as well as their solution followed as men were able to know and practice the truth of God. He stressed the need of endowment to make permanent the institution he represented at a time when their future was threatened because of high cost of education and the ever-increasing standards. WHITE DOMINATION IS DOOMED IN ASIA AND ON AFRICAN CONTINENT Newspaper Correspondent Bases Thi Prediction on Observation of Moroccan War and General Outlook (From the New York Times.) London, England.—"In Africa or Asia, the old easy conditions of political suzerainty or commercial ascendancy will not again be enjoyed by European peoples or their American descendants." That is the lesson drawn from the Moroccan war by J. L. Garvin in The Sunday Observer. "Without wider unity in Europe itself and without more far-sighted and sympathetic association between Europe as a whole and the United States," he continues, "the existing supremacy of what we call Western civilization will be severely reduced in the course of the present century and the balance of a changing world may even be turned against all the white races without distinction. The awakening of Islam and Asia is already one of the larger forces of history, and that movement is only beginning. All Islam sympathizes openly or at heart with Abd el-Krim. "In Syria, those very different but equally virile highlanders, the Druses, are in arms, while discontent of Arabs is simmering in the same quarter and they would throw off French rule if they could. In Egypt, India and China agitation is nourished by Western ideas and by the native press." Mr. Garvin also sees omnious signs of discord among the white races themselves, which may have direct consequences. He writes: "Abd-el-Krim, Zaghiul, Mustapha Kemal and extremists in India and China are as popular in Berlin as at Moscow. The isolated disarmament or Germany is a spectacle for Asiatic moralists. America's rejection of the League encourages the same disagreement of the white race as a whole. Unless war prejudices are forgotten and some crude blunders of Versailles rectified, unless reconciliation is pursued and white solidarity restored the power of white civilization in the world will decline from its zenith at no very remote date." SEEK AMERICA'S MOST SEEK AMERICA'S MOST BEAUTIFUL COLORED GIRL Oklahoma City, Okla.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Who is Miss Colored America? Officials of the National Negro Business League who already are laying plans for the 1926 meeting are determined to find out. One of the most interesting features of the Tulsa meet this year was the popularity contest in which various Oklahoma cities vied with one another to name their favorite daughters Miss Oklahoma, and delegates from dozens of other states expressed a desire at the next meeting to see their own girls represented as well. Roscoe Dunjee, president of the Oklahoma State League, was appointed chairman of a committee to work out a feasible program which would embrace all of the cities of the country and give each of them an opportunity to present its most charming representative, while it would be of interest to the business men of every community. Mr. Dunjee has written Secretary Holsey that the committee has an interesting plan to present, one which will catch the fancy of both the most charming girls in the country and the business men and women as well. So that the 1926 League meeting ought to give a definite answer to the query, Who is Miss Colored America? COUNCIL BLUFFS NEWS The Rev. Mr. Gamble, pastor of Wesley Chapel A. M. E. church of Kansas City, stopped here enroute home from Horton. Kans., where he was called to attend the funeral of his father-in-law, Robert Madison, who died here in Mercy hospital, September 16. The body was shipped to his home at Horton for burial. He was a member of Bethel A. M. E. church and of the Knights of Tabor. His widow, three daughters, one son, three sisters, two brothers and other relatives survive him. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor. 25th and R Sts.

ARRESTS MAY FOLLOW BIG SHREVEPORT FIRE ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS Shreveport, La.—An investigation into the origin of the big fire which swept the Allendale residential section Friday night, destroying scores of Negroes homes, inflicting property loss variously estimated from $1,000,000 to $1,750,000; wiping out 196 homes and leaving 1,200 homeless, has been under way since the night of the confagation, it was learned Saturday from the Department of Public Safety. Police Commissioner Stringfellow is reported as saying there is a grave possibility of two or more arrests being made in connection with the fire within the course of a few days. Several suspects are under close observation by the department and arrests are expected anytime. "JIM" HILL'S COACHMAN DIES PRACTICALLY A PAUPER St. Paul, Minn.—(By the Associated Negro Press).—Waiting to be claimed by a relative, the body of Louis Liverpool lies in the city morgue here. More than fifty years ago he was brought to this city from New Orleans by James Hill, "the empire builder", and founder of the Great Northern railroad. Liverpool was the first colored coachman in this city and in the old days enjoyed the confidence of its leading men. After the elder Hill's death, however, and the breaking up of the family, the former coachman fared badly and died here, practically a pauper. Whole Number 534 SEAT of CIV GEN. SMUTS CLAIMS AFRICA WAS CRADLE OF THE HUMAN RACE Famous Soldier Quotes Darwin In Support of Claim That Man's Progenitors Came from Africa. General Jan Christian Smuts, who presided at the recent meeting of the South African Association for the Advancement of Science, maintained in a brilliant address the theory that Africa was the cradle of the human race. He quoted Darwin as saying it was more portable that man's earliest progenitors lived on the African continent than elsewhere. The great expounder of the theory of evolution was led to this conclusion by subtropical flora in Southern Africa, which were more like the plants of South America and Australia than those north of the equator. Darwin also advanced the hypothesis that certain temperate zone flora which in Africa grew only in the southwest of the Cape Province might have had their origin in an isolated continent, possibly near the South Pole, which gave to South America, Australia and South Africa flowers that have handed down their peculiarities through the ages. General Smuts rejected the theory of migration from Europe. He pointed out that most scientists were trained in Northern countries and so have absorbed a Northern bias, assuming too readily that the flora and fauna of South Africa came from the north. He called attention to the facts that Africa, India and South America are the sole diamond producers of the world; that several geological formations near the Cape are parallel in the other two regions, and that peculiar ancient banded iron stone are found in South Africa, Brazil, Western Australia and India, but are not found in Europe. He cited the Bokop skull as showing a connection between the Hottentots and their prehistoric ancestors. His address is attracting the attention of scientists everywhere and may stimulate study of prehistoric times in this less exploited part of the earth. NEGROES BEGAN CIVILIZATION (Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, Author and Editor, in the Forum.) During the period that may vary from ten thousand to fifty thousand years mankind struggled with the steps of advance. It was during these years that the black race seems always to have been first. To be sure, blacks were not the only beginners, but they seem to have been the successful and the persistent ones. Thus Africa appears as the father of mankind, and the people who eventually settled there form the largest and often the only group of human beings successfully advancing from animal savagery toward primitive civilization. In the African village were bred religion, industry, government, education and art. The primitive religion of Africa underlies the religions of the world. The African villagers from early days wove cloth, baked earthenware manufactured instruments and arms baskets and shoes, soap and glass. They worked in iron, copper, brass bronze, gold, silver, bone and ivory. Out of this industry developed the African market place which knit the continent together, with paths and trade centers, from the Gulf of Guinea to Zanzibar and from Walfish bay to Lake Chad, long before the modern coming of Europe. The sense of beauty is the last and best gift of Africa to the world. We have long known of the African artist. Traces of his work have been found in prehistoric Europe. Later rich centers of African art were brought to European knowledge on the African west coast. The primitive art of Africa is one of the greatest expressions of the human soul in all time; "black men invented art as they invented fire," they spread their ideas of art among their white neighbors, and their white neighbors, and their earliest expressions had an originality and fidelity of purpose that the primitive world never surpassed.

GROWING :::: :::: THANK YOU Vol. XI—No. 14 MAHA vilization OMAHA IS HOSTESS AMERICAN LEGION 7TH CONVENTION City In Gala Attire and Gives Cordial Welcome to Thousands Ex- Service Men and Other Visitors PARADES THRILLING SIGHT Roosevelt Post and Colored Citizens Unite In Extending Their Hospitality to Our City's Guests. Omaha has been the gracious and generous host this week of the seventh annual convention of the American Legion. The streets and buildings have been in gala dress, and our fair city looked charming and bewitching in her best bib and tucker. The carnival spirit ran high. Bands and drum corps galore and gayly uniformed men and women have been almost omnipresent. Everywhere were good-natured, jostling merry crowds. It is estimated that over 100,000 visitors enjoyed Omaha's hospitality. The parade of Tuesday with over 20,000 marchers in line, was a brilliant, colorful and thrilling spectacle. State delegations vied with each other in the beauty of their uniforms, floats and distinctive features. Delegates were in line from every state in the union and from as far distant as Manilla. Florida, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota had the largest delegations. The Theodore Roosevelt Post and the Woman's Auxiliary made a fine appearance with over a hundred in line and was heartily applauded. The delegation was headed by Lieutenants Edward Turner, Wesley Jones and Burns, the latter of Iowa; and other detachments were headed by Lieutenants Singleton, Williams and Cowan, and the Legion Auxiliary by Sergt. H. L. Preston. Throughout the line of march here and there, with several of the state delegations, were members of our group, but far too few. The electrical parade Wednesday night featuring the American Legion surpassed in beauty any previous display of artistic floats, beautiful as they have been in the past. This parade is said to have been viewed by 150,000 people. Thursday morning's military parade was another interesting feature. Among the reserve officers, corps Lieutenants Jones of Omaha and Bunderant, formerly of Omaha, but now of Beckley, W. Va., were noticed. Among the R. O. T. C. of Creighton University marched Robert A. Greene, Joseph Wakefield and Weldon Solomon, and of course some of our own boys were with the Central high school cadets who always make a fine appearance. The Roosevelt Post headquarters on North Twenty-fourth street, was one of the arondeveaux for colored legionairries. Many amusements and entertainments were provided for the visitors. Among those of our own group attending either as delegates, alternates or visitors, are Majors West H. Hamilton, Captain L. E. Jones, of Washington, D. C.; and Mrs. C. Goodlow, president, and Mrs. Francis P. Wedge, secretary of the ladies' auxiliary, Washington, D. C.; L. A. Coleman, Indianapolis; James O. Conrad, Orvil L. Carter, E.

THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S address to the American Legion was a timely message which the country needs. Its truth will be laid to heart and heeded by all who love America. It is a sagacious, sound and statesmanlike slogan to America to save her soul. That salvation lies along the pathway indicated by Calvin Coolidge in his great charge and challenge to the American Legion and through them to the whole nation. Recognition of the rights of all, tolerance, righteousness, justice, truth and service are keynotes of this great message. His main thesis that diversity is the message. His main thesis that tolerance the inner and true spirit of Americanism, needs frequent repetition in these hectic and hysterical times of fixity of type, after a very narrow pattern, and intolerance, racial and religious. This is the real heart of his message. That America is composed of various nationalities and race types, all of whom made their contribution to American life, is strikingly emphasized in the address. The president makes it quite plain that no special group has a monopoly on patriotism and that America belongs to all who are true to the law of the land. He would have America first but he reminds us, which should jar us out of our national self-conceit, that our task is to make America first, before she really can be first among the nations. Well does he say, "We can only make America first in the true sense which that means by cultivating a spirit of friendship and goodwill, by the exercise of the virtues of patience and forbearance and by being 'plenteous in mercy' and through progress at home and helpfulness abroad standing as an example of real service to humanity." His call for a mobilization of conscience and a demobilization of racial antagonisms, fears, hatreds and suspicions not only as a national, but as an international policy, puts emphasis upon the right place for bringing in an era of peace. The speech is a clarion call to America to save her own soul and help save the souls of sister nations throughout the world. THE LEGION CONVENTION WELL, the long-expected and loudly heralded American Legion Convention has come and by the time these words shall have reached our readers will have ended. How much good it will have brought to our city may be a subject of debate. It has certainly given Omaha and Nebraska wide publicity and extensive advertising. Not only the city, but the nation, have been wonderfully benefited by the timely words of President Coolidge. Of the serious work of the Legion convention, we are not in a position to speak, but that it has a serious and noble side cannot be doubted and its legislation will have a far-reaching influence. To the man on the street, the horse play and carnival spirit so prevalent, seemed to overshadow and dominate its more earnest and real purpose. Taken as a whole the Legion-naires, due consideration being made for the ebullition incident to the holiday spirit, were quite well behaved.

Moder THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE 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 choicest 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 Folk."

No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person final protection of the laws. din and harmless fun worried no one but the constitutionally grouchy. There were however, wilful and inexcusable flaunting of the law in the matter of openly drinking intoxicating liquor on the streets and in public places and gambling, "crap shooting", or "African golf"—generally considered to be an occupation of certain gentlemen of color—in hotel lobbies and on the streets which could not and did not add to the reputation of the American Legion as upholders of law and the Constitution. SHOULD JOIN THE LEGION ONE THING that has impressed us in connection with the American Legion convention is the almost negligible representation of our own group. There doubtless is some reason for this. We will not attempt to analyze the cause or causes for the lack of interest taken by Negro ex-service men in the American Legion. We simply note the fact. We believe, however, that inasmuch as the American Legion has high ideals and earnest purposes and is wielding and will wield a tremendous influence in the affairs of the country our ex-service men should get in and do their full share in helping to put the program over. We gain nothing by remaining on the outside and apart from great social movements of this kind. We lose vastly by a spirit of aloofness. We hope therefore that an active campaign will be waged by the broad-visioned ex-service men, who realizing the value of the service that can be rendered by the Legion have allied themselves with it. to enlist their comrades in this great organization which will play such an important part in national affairs. HOW WAS it that so much liquor got into Omaha before the convention of the American Legion and evidently preparatory for it? Where were the vigilant law-enforcing officers? Somebody was asleep or ajourneying. FIE UPON THEE, gentleman, it was supposed that the colored brother had a monopoly on the art of "rolling the bones"; but say he is not in it for a minute with the white skins. OMAHA can be justly proud of the manner in which she took care of the Legion. Rooevelt Post, the largest colored post in the world, and our own citizens did their part in making our guests welcome. What is the Mediterranean Race?—H. J. L. Lima, Ohio. "Mediterranean" is a term applied to those peoples bordering upon the Mediterranean Sea. English and American scientists have tried to claim that these peoples were a branch of the white race, but it is not true. The entire southern and northern coast of the Mediterranean was settled at different times by colonists from Africa and from them came the dark skins and curling hair. Sergi of Italy is the greatest authority upon the Mediterranean race and he proves them of African descent. These races include the Spanish, Italian and Grecian peoples and the peoples of bither Asia. NOTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE I easily convince open-minded man of the Negro to American man and citizen was far from American life has so subtly and warp and woof of our thinking Negro. He came with the firstiration. His labor was from NEGRO SCHOOLS TO STUDY Dr. G. R. Simpson has done the race a great favor in editing for school purposes Gragnon-Laceste's biography of Tousaint Louverture, the Negro soldier, statesman and martyr of Haiti. Here we have a valuable book subserving a double purpose. It facilitates the study of a foreign language by presenting matter of immediate interest to the Negro student. At the same time it supplies him with valuable information about one of the greatest figures in history regardless of his color. This book, then, meets a long felt need; for what stimulus can there come to a Negro student of French when he reads of the deeds of Louis the XIV, or to the Negro student of history if he is to restrict himself altogether to the study of Caesar, Napoleon and Gladstone? In this story, however, one will not find propaganda. It is merely the narrative of the unusual deeds of an exceptional man. With little opportunity for development, the hero of the story made himself a leader of men. Against tremendous odds he hurled his ill equipped soldiers at the military force of France, representing the proudest blood of Europe. He humiliatingly defeated 'these Frenchmen, and laid the foundation of an independent republic. No story is more fascinating than this. Few writers have written a narrative as gripping as this of Toussaint Louverture, the warrior, the hero, the savior of his country. To appreciate the worth of this man and the importance of drawing upon his career for impressive lessons to develop the character of the Negro youth, one cannot do better than bear in mind these words of Wendell Phillips: "I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to empire over broken oaths and a sea of blood. This man never broke his word. 'No Retaliation' was his great motto and the rule of his life; and the last words uttered to his son in France were these: 'My boy, you will one day go back to San Domingo; forget that France murdered your father.' I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he founded went down with him into his grave; I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held slaves. This man risked his empire rather than permit the slave trade in the humble villages of his dominions. Fifty years hence, when truth gets a hearing, the muse of history will put Phionc for the Greeks, Brutus for the Romans, Hampton for England, Fayette for France, choose Washington as the bright consummate flower of our earlier civilization, and John Brown as the ripe fruit of our noon-day; then, dipping her pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue, above them all, the name of the soldier, the statesman, 'the marty, Toussaint Louverture." The book is well printed and neatly bound. It contains a useful map of Haiti. It has a number of exercises for composition and conversation in French and also a useful vocabulary. It is a handy volume containing 139 pages, sold for $1.10 by the Associated Publishers, 1538 Ninth St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Move! But Where? How? H, merely because of prejudice, a black tenant can be made to move out of a city block, upon that same theory he can be made to move out of that city, out of that state, out of that country, leaving naught but debris of that time-honored principle that a man's home is his castle. Visionary though it may seem, this is just exactly what could eventually happen to everyone of us who, like Samuel A. Browne, of Staten Island, N. Y., or Harry T. Pratt, of Baltimore, Md., as well as countless others might seek to establish homes in accordance with the individual tastes and desires of a man's own choice. This type of prejudice, just like the bootlegging game, laughs at both law and all the ethics of intelligent society. Even as we go to press word comes from Detroit of a race riot, "caused," says the United (white) Press, "by the moving of a black family into a white neighborhood." Concurrently, Browne received another notice to "move out" from Castleton Hill, where he sought, with his family, to enjoy the net returns of his honest toil in the public service. But should Browne move, who can say but that he, and you and I might in years hence be asked to quit the only soil we've ever known, in order to appease the sacredness of the white man's world, as prescribed by the bigos and the "bourgeois" of America. This home problem of the black man, who seeks to select his own homesite, is the "Getsyburg" of the race's social endeavor; and like the Getsyburg of Abraham Lincoln's time goes to the heart of the American question of whether a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal can long endure. The black man of America has lived and endured too long here amid America's joys and sorrows from Getsyburg to Flanders Field to now be pushed and kicked out of the block, out of the city, out of the state and out of the country. There must be a stopping-off place somewhere, and it might as well be in the block. Otherwise, the Pacific or the Atlantic oceans seem to be the safety zone of our ultimate destination. Hence, it appears to be our move NOT TO MOVE and this GOES FOR STATEN ISLAND, BALTIMORE, DETROIT AND ANY OTHER LOCALITIES whose guardians are too holy to observe the simple sacredness of a man's homesite, selected by himself as a tribute to intelligence and the lessons of civilization. Let us exhaust our resources to uphold Lincoln's Getsyburg philosophies, lest some, instead of all, of the people prescribe the rules of Government and the boundary lines of homes.

The post commander insisted that he be registered and it was done. It is also said that a similar incident occurred at the Carleton hotel with the North Dakota delegation which had two colored delegates. In each case the post stood firm against discrimination.

I am an me all about it. I am ready to work LYNCHING THE INSANE (The Associated Negro Press.) In the blessed state of Georgia even the Negro patients in the insane asylum are not safe from the insane mob roaming outside. A violently insane Negro beat one of the white nurses with a club and she died. Some of the nurses or other employees communicated with the unincarcerated savages on the outside, and a mob of fifty of them entered the asylum and took this insane human out and brutally lynched him. If one lynching can be more beastly than another, this is the most beastly. In all actually civilized communities such an act of an absolutely insane human is considered an accident, like any other regrettable accident of nature, but not a crime to be pinned even by the law. The fiends who lynched this unfortunate creature did not even have the humanity to remove him from life as mercifully as possible, but they tied him and brutally beat him to death with clubs. These demons were consciously treating this insane man in the same way in which he had unconsciously treated his unfortunate victim. Only he had not been such a coward, for he had not come fifty strong and he had not sanely attacked the insane. And yet there are supposedly sane men in the great congress of the United States who do not understand that we need a federal law to check this beastly thing. Who is it that is insane? That Negro? That mob? Or that type of congressman? Some sensible questions need to be asked. First, what does not the state of Georgia have Negro nurses and attendants in charge of Negro insane patients? No, they give these white men and women the chance to draw the salaries on the misfortune of this otherwise segregated people. They exploit even the insane for their social economic advantage. If that nurse had been Colored, civilization would have been saved from disgrace. For the same reason every southern state should have Negro policemen in Negro sections, so that when some officer is killed by a Colored criminal the consequence would be the procedure of law against crime and not an attack by mobs against civilization and human decency. And yet these same salary-hungry hypocrites did their best to force us to accept white nurses and doctors for sick and disabled Negro soldiers at Tuskegee, so that any accident or any lie any time could have aroused these furies of hell. We knew then as we know now that those who thus tried to force their "services" on the Negro had no interest in his welfare but in their own gain. ebster 4243 And yet these Georgia fiends were following somewhat the example of our courts of law. If the reader will reflect, he will recall that almost every day, when some white person has done something violent or anti-social, his sanity is inquired into by the courts and he is often adjudged insane and irresponsible. But such an inquiry is almost never made in the case of Negro prisoners, especially when they have attacked or injured white people. The Negro who does wrong is always sane. All such insanity belongs to white people. If the truth could get a hearing, most of the very few Negroes who ever do actually commit rape or murder against white people in the south would be judged by a civilized court to be insane. In this invasion of asylums and lynching of the insane the state of Georgia has successfully reasserted its pristine supremacy in this whole beastly business. DISTINGUISHED DELEGATES FROM DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA The District of Columbia had two colored delegates to the American Legion convention in the persons of Major West H. Hamilton and Dr. Thomas E. Jones and two delegates to the Legion Auxiliary, Messames Katie C. Goodlow and Francis P. Wedge. Major West A. Hamilton and Dr. Jones were commissioned as captains and served with the 372nd Infantry, which was brigaded with the French and saw active service. Dr. Jones was awarded a distinguished service medal for bravery in action. He is first assistant surgeon at Freedman's hospital, Washington, D. C. They are members of the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia, N.G., Major Hamilton, commander.

According to the Durham Morn: ‘ing Herald, Mrs. Hunter “possesses a lyric [soprano voice of remarkable charm and bed of tone”. Another musical critic n the Raleigh Times declares she “has a ‘splendid voice, smooth, flexible, and clean jin all of its ranges.” | On the other hand, Mrs. Hunter has won ‘the praises of other musicians and writers cinong whom are Harry T. Burleigh and ‘Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson. Mr, Burleigh wrote Mrs, Hunter: Z ' “The more I think about it the more cer- tain T am that you will become one of our great ertists. You have brains, heart, intelligener. aptitude, temperament, ambi- tion, application and a magnificent physic- al equipment.” Mrs. Nelson after hearing Mrs. Hunter declared, “To say that T enjoyed it is put- ting it extremely mildly. ‘Enjoyed’ is not ‘the word. It was rather a deep sense of ultimate satisfaction that permeated my entire being when she sang.” AGENTS WANTED Reliable agents who are good work- ers wanted to sell Wavine Hair Dress. ing, Skin Bleach and other products Biggest selling line on market.
