A total of $3,000 in cash, with gold and bronze medals will be distributed in the William E. Harmon awards for distinguished achievement, under the direction of Dr. George E. Haynes, the Commission's Secretary, in the fields of literature, fine arts, science, including invention, education, business, including industry, and religion. Six first prizes of $400 each with a gold medal and the same number of second prizes of $100 with a bronze medal, were awarded to persons who were considered to have created something of national significance in the several fields, and one award of $500 and a gold medal was given to a white man for outstanding work in improving relations between white and Negro people in America. Formal presentation in the home cities of the successful candidates will be made on January 1, which is Emancipation day. Juries of five specialists in the type of work being considered, passed upon the entries in each kind of achievement. On every jury at least one member was a Negro. Among the judges who acted were: John Hays Hammond, scientist and author; Edwin E. Slosson, chemist and editor of "Science Service"; Grosvenor Atterbury, architec; Henry G. Leach, editor of the "Forum"; John H. Finley, editor of the "New York Times"; Paul Monroe, director of the International Institute; Sam A. Lewisohn, financier; J. E. Spingarn, author and literary critic; Dr. Preston Ware Oren, composer and musical editor; Harry T. Burleigh, composer and soloist of St. George's Episcopal Church, New York; William Stanley Braithwaite, poet and author; Dean William A. Bering of the school of architecture, Columbia University; and Henry S. Dennison, president of the Dennison Manufacturing company. Palmer C. Hayden, a housecleaning jobber in Greenwich Village, won the first award in fine arts with five oil paintings of water scenes. They were "Boothbay Harbor", "Portland, Maine", "Haverstraw, N. Y.", "The Sheepscot", and "The Cove". While making his living doing odd work in general cleaning he has devoted his spare time for several years to his brush, and previously his art work has come to the attention of but few outside his THE MONITOR circle of acquaintances. Mr. Hayden was born in Widewater, Va., lives at 29 Greenwich Avenue, New York, and is 33 years of age. Hale Wood-Florida, graduate of the Massachusetts second prize in fine arts with 5 paintings, four of which were landscapes. James C. Evans, 26, of Miami, Floriad, graduate oof the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was given first award in science, his specific work being two theses presented for the Bachelor and Master Degrees in Science. One of these determined a point, perviously disputed, of the effect of the closeness of coupling on maximum signal in a regenerative network. W. A. Daniel, 31, of Atlanta, Ga., was awarded second place for his social study on "The Education of Negro Ministers." The first award in education was made to Virginia Estelle Randolph, 51, of Hanover County, Va., for her original plan of adapting rural school programs to needs of Negroes in country districts of the southern states, particularly their home life. Arthur A. Schomburg, 50, of New York, was voted the second award because of his collection of publications and other literary material on Negro life and history. Countee Cullen, 23, of New York, was given first award in literature for his volume of poems, "Color". The second award in literature was made to James Weldon Johnson of New York for editorial work on Negro spirituals and an essay interpreting them. C. C. Spaulding, 52, of Durham, N. C., was accorded the first award in business for his part in the development of life insurance among Negroes and his work in helping Negro enterprises toward a firm financial standing. A. A. Alexander, 39, of Des Moines, Ill., a building contractor, received the second award. The first award in religion was given to Max Yergen, 34, Raleigh, N. C., for his religious and social service to the native students and teachers in South Africa as secretary of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A.'s of the United States, among natives of South Africa. Bishop Hurst, 63, Baltimore, Md., received the second award for his work in the development of educational and religious organization among Negroes in Florida. The single award of $500 offered to the white or colored person making an outstanding contribution toward improving relations between the two races was given to Will W. Alexander, 42, of Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Alexander, a southern white man, is executive director of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation. In issuing the announcement Dr. George E. Haynes said: "The Harmon awards mark an epoch of the new emancipation which will stimulate Negro people for the rich contributions they can make in the THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor.

That keep the word And break it to our The president's message will repay careful reading. Fortunately it is not so verbose and voluminous that to do so would be a tiresome task. The brevity of the message commends it. Upon the whole it is sane and as was anticipated, conservative. It is very optimistic and optimism is always better than pessimism. The president makes his position very plain on certain issues, while on others he leaves room for doubt as to just where he stands. He seems to favor the improvement of waterways, but whether that applies specifically to that of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers in which we of this large section are vitally interested is not quite clear. He does not appear to advocate any definite agricultural program. He is definite and clear in his position on the enforcement of prohibition, in which, of course, he is right. In discussing federal regulation, it is quite plain that he does not approve of relieving states of their duty to enforce law. "Permanent success," he wisely says, "lies in local, rather than national action. Unless the locality rises to its own requirements, there is an irresistible impulse for the national government to intervene. The states and the nation should both realize that such action is to be adopted only as a last resort." This statement prepares the way for an observation on the race question. On this he states a truth so axiomatic that no sane person will attempt to dispute it: "The social well-being of our country requires our constant effort for the amelioration of race prejudice and the extension to all elements of equal opportunity and equal protection under the laws which are guaranteed by the constitution. The federal government especially is charged with this obligation on behalf of the colored people of the nation." This obligation as we see it, embraces vastly more than the eradication of the lynching evil, of which we are so largely the victims, and to which he specifically refers. It includes all of our citizenship rights, many of which are denied by unlawful Jimcrow ordinances on public carriers and in public places. Our demand is that this "obligation" which President Coolidge concedes be fully discharged. We are grateful that he urges, with reference to lynching, that while "it remains we cannot justify neglecting to make every effort to eradicate it by law." Very good, so far as it goes, but by what law, state or federal? Many of the states having shown that they are either unable or unwilling "to eradicate it by law", it becomes necessary to enact a federal anti-lynching law, to be enforced when the state declines to act, "only as a last resort". In our judgment President Coolidge ought to have come out squarely and unequivocally in a clear-cut statement of this kind, if that is what he really means. But frankly, we do not believe he means it. The two sections of his message, treating of "Federal Regulation" and "The Negro", impress us as doubtful ambiguities, delivered for effect. "That palter with us in a double sense: several fields of human endeavor. It will liberate the white people to expect such achievement and fairly accord it recognition." Although the field of music was included in the series of awards open to Negroes, it was the opinion of the judges in music that "No original creative work was submitted of such outstanding importance as to merit the award. The fund in this field will be held in trust to be distributed in later awards if worthy productions are submitted. GOVERNOR CHANGES DEATH S Raleigh, N.

The govet plaining his action state did not believe the boy mentally responsible and state had no right to talk PIONEER CITIZEN DIES John R. Taliaferro, aged 77, who had been a resident of Omaha for more than 25 years, and of the state of Nebraska for more than 50, died at University hospital late Sunday afternoon with pneumonia. When Dr. Hutten was called to see him Saturday he found him seriously ill, and ordered that he be taken to the hospital immediately, which was done, and where he received every attention. Mr. Taliaferro was a native of Virginia, but was reared and educated in New York state. In the early seventies he came to Nebraska where he took up a homestead in the western part of the state. Some 25 years ago he came to Omaha, where he engaged in truck farming. He was a life-long Presbyterian, and during his residence here had been a faithful member of the Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church. The funeral was held from the Western Funeral Home, Thursday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Ernest, pastor of his church, officiating. Mr. Taliaferro had ben a widower for many years and lived alone. He is survived by an adopted son, Sylvester, aged 21, who is in the navy; a brother in Virginia, and a niece in New York. He was 77 years of age and highly respected by all who knew him.

GOVERNOR CHANGES DEATH SENTENCE Raleigh, N. C.—The death sentence imposed upon James Jeffreys, 18, for an alleged attack upon an aged white woman, has ben changed to life imprisonment by Governor A. W. McLean. The governor in explaining his action stated that he did not believe the boy was or is mentally responsible and that the state had no right to take the life of any of its citizens who were unable to appreciate the consequences of their acts. NEGRO FARMERS TO PONDER PROBLEMS Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Consideration of a safe farming program for 1927 is the problem which will engage the attention of Negro farmers of the South who attend the thirty-sixth annual Tuskegee Negro Conference which meets here Wednesday, January 19.

Mrs. Bessie Woods has been called to Chicago to the bedside of her sick brother, Robert Woods. St. Philip's Annual Bazaar, Thursday, December 16.—Adv. GROWING THANK YOU! Whole Number 594 NEGRO BEQUEATHS $30,000 TO THE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Chandler, Okla.—Albon L. Holsey, secretary to the Principal of Tuskegee Institute, was here last week for a conference with H. C. Callark, retired school teacher and owner of valuable city and farm property. Following their interview, Mr. Callark authorized the announcement that he has made the Tuskegee Institute chief beneficiary under the provisions of his will which has just been made and recorded. The properties owned by Mr. Callark are conservatively estimated to beworth $30,000 and less than a week ago oil was discovered on land adjacent to one of eighty acre tracts which gives added value and importance to his holdings. Mr. Callark's life story is a gripping drama of the closing days of slavery and of the pioneer days of the Middle West. He was born near Newark, New Jersey, and between the ages of three and four, he and his brother were kidnapped and taken to Mississippi where he lived as a slave boy until sixteen years old. In 1863, with the aid of a colored man, Edmund Chandler, he was "kidnapped" again and ran away to the north. When the two run-aways reached Kentucky, young Callark left his friend and benefactor and joined the Union army as orderly to one of the officers. A soldier in the same company, Matthew Haynes, became attached to the young Negro orderly because of his quiet reserve and unfailing loyalty and at the close of the war took him to his home in Missouri. Two years later, Callark went to Wyoming and thence into Iowa where he worked for a family named Gaston. The Gastons became interested in him and encouraged him to enter Tabor College, where he began his education. The friendship of the Gastons has continued till the present day, and he tells of some of the Gaston children with whom he played who are now parents and grandparents. In 1879, Mr. Callark determined to enter the teaching profession and after completing the teachers' course at a normal school in Jefferson City, Missouri., taught for nine years in Texas, and then came to this place where he farmed and taught school for more than 20 years here in Lincoln county. He is retired and now devotes his time to Sunday School work and to looking after the properties he has accumulated. He has never married and has never seen his parents since that eventful day back in New Jersey when he was stolen from them. In spite of his 77 years, he is very active; giving much of his time to reading and occasionally writing poems of real merit.
