Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there can be no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress. Booker T. Washington. EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 366 PRESIDENT IS POWERFUL IN SILENCE, AVERS PRESIDENT IS POWERFUL IN SILENCE, AVERS WASHINGTON, D. C.—One entire month of the new Coolidge administration has passed. On every hand Colored America is asking, "What is President Coolidge going to do?" There is no one hereabouts who can let one into even the outer crust of the deep secret. President Coolidge is "powerful in his silence." The situationin has already placed a number of the allied forces or allied factions—on the defensive. The best assurances that they can offer to the quarrelious is "Be patient; you know it takes time, and the President is not one to be rushed." To this the quizzical individual replies: "Sounds natural, heard that four years ago." The biggest piece of news going out of the White House recently is the announcement that the President is to spend his summer in Massachusetts. This is being played up with characteristic journalistic enterprise. Pictures of the "Summer White House" and all. But what the folks want to hear is something about some "stand" the president has taken that will give "truth a hearing," and the Brother a chance, or some "outstanding" appointment. This has not happened yet. There is more talk about the office of Register of the Treasury than any other. "We must have that office this time," many people are saying from many different sections of the country. The white force of the Register's office has already organized against it. "The President ought to name a Colored man to show them where to get off," say the folks in the street. Ernest G. Tidrington of Indiana, attorney, Vice Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, has the largest comment regarding appointment for the office. Tidrington is active in Indiana politics, backed up the straight Republican ticket in the last election, at a time when many of the leading Colored Republicans of the state got out of line, so far as the G. O. P. was concerned. Indiana went Republican, "hook, line and sinker," and hence the people who helped carry the cause, feel that there should be some practical recognition. Tidrington is cordially disposed toward the assistant leader of the Senate James E. Watson, of Indiana, and next year Senator Watson is one of the twenty-five Republican Senators who expect to hold their seat. Senator Watson has made no open declaratioin for Tidrington for the place, but it is believed that he is kindly disposed to Tidrington, and friends of the Hoosier attorney have been showing Senator Watson a "deep point" on how he will make the best Register whoever registered his cognomen for the official value of paper money. Reports emanating from various sources in Indiana that Tidrington "personna non grata," are answered by the statement that few men have as large a personal following anywhere as Tidrington has in his home state. So Washington is the high spot where all are standing by to listen in on the White House political radio. There are rumors galore, but that is mere "sounding brass and a tinkling cymbol" so far as actual developments are concerned. The last thing at night and the first thing in the morning one hears the refrain "Sight me, sight me. I am blind, I cannot see. Sight me." Oil Queen's Brother Denfendant in Suit For $15,000, Avers KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A damage suit for $15,000 has been filed against Joseph Rector, brother of Sarah Rector, Negro oil queen, by Maravan King, proprietor of a shinning parlor, for injuries sustained by the latter when he was struck by a Cadillac driven by young Rector. Self Competition is Most Important Says Capitalist By J. OGDEN ARMOUR Of Armour & Co., Chicago, Ill. It is hard enough to compete with the other fellow. But the hardest job any man has is to compete with himself. There is no mystery about competing with others. They beat you, or you beat them, and that's all there is to it. Everybody sees the results. But a man may be thoroughly outdone by himself without recognizing the cause. There are several danger signals which we may all watch, however, and they will guide us. First, we should beware of being dilatory. Putting things off is one of the sure indications that our feet are on the brink of the "slippery slope." It is easy to deceive ourselves. We say we are "waiting for the proper inspiration." Or we allow ourselves to think we are "too busy" to attend to this or that—meanwhile sorting out all the easy things to do and side-tracking the jobs that are hard or distasteful. Inspiration comes from action. It is the result of making up one's mind to take the plunge. Resolve, for instance, that you are going to call today on the hardest prospect you know; see for yourself if that won't start your wits to working; or pick out the hardest job on the schedule, or today's program—and go at it. Then note how mountains of difficulties fade away. Some men never have "inspiration" and never do big things—not because they lack the ability, but because they can't make up their minds to act. Another danger signal is losing interest in one's work. This is a red flag that denotes calamity ahead. No one ever yet lost interest in a job at which he really worked up to the limit of his capacity—unless he happened to be a misfit. And the misfits are very few compared with those who grow stale through indolence. Don't ask yourself, if you are a misfit. Ask, rather, "Am I doing my work to the limit of my ability?" Baptist Church in New Orleans Said to Be 112 Years Old (Special to The Tribune) NEW ORLEANS, La.—A gray old church blazed forth through its rustic coat of many years in a renewed splendor last week, when its loyal members gathered to commemorate the one hundred years since its doors were first opened for worship. It was the First African Baptist church, which was established 112 years ago by Nelson D. Sanders, a slave, although it was 12 years before other slaves could purchase his freedom so that he could complete his work. Five years ago, Dr. J. A. Bingaman was called to take the pulpit of the antique church, and in contrast to the faithful service of devoted slaves, who worshipped even as they prayed for freedom, the present pastor has increased the membership from 600 to 1400; paid $10,000 indebtedness, rebuilt the auditorium of the church at a cost of $40,000, bought the present parsonage and a house adjoining the church. Blood Tests Will Be Made to Determine Nationality of Baby NEW YORK—Blood tests to determine whether four-year old Agnew Reddington has Negro blood, will be offered by the boy's mother, Miss Florence Reddington, a nurse, in her $150,000 breach of promise suit against Colonel Isaac N. Ullman, Republican leader and corset manufacturer, of New Haven, Conn., which goes on trial tomorrow. Colonel Ullman, in denying parentage of the child, charged that Andrew Peters, a Negro, was the father. It is said to be the first time New York courts will be called on to decide the validity of blood tests in establishing parentage. They do strange things in Texas. Besides electing a woman governor, they arrested an oil stock salesman.—Lewiston (Me.) Journal. WE ORIGINATE----OTHERS IMITATE PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1925 Arizona is Faced With Drought Says Dean J. J. Thornber That the State of Arizona is faced with the most disastrous drought in history, if the present situation does not soon alleviate, was the statement made this week by Dean J. J. Thornber, head of the college of agriculture at the University of Arizona. According to the Dean the low level of water in Roosevelt Lake is threatening the irrigation of the cotton crop in the Salt River Valley and the Gila Valley is threatened with a like shortage. The Yuma territory is practically the only part of the state that is not faced with this shortage, according to the Dean. The situation as seen by Dean Thornber, is emphasized by J. M. Ronstadt and other cattiemen of Pima county, who are at this time attempting to find some way in which to carry the major portion of their range stock through the threatened period without too great a loss. Rockefeller Gives $2,702,168 to Negro Schools During 1924 (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK.— The Rockefeller General Education Board appropriated $2,702,168 to colored educational institutions in this country during the year of 1924. This sum does not include John D. Rockefeller, Jr's contribution of $1,000,000 to Tuskegee Hampton drive. The figures show that Tuskegee and Hampton were the largest beneficiaries. They received $650,000, while Virginia Union was second with the receipt of $300,000. Appropriations to other schools were as follows: Arkansas Baptist College, $7,500; Alcorn, Miss. $5,000; Fisk, $50,000; Florida A. and M., $4,000; Hartshorn, $7,500; Jackson, Miss., $7,500; Morehouse, $30,000; Morgan College, $55,000; Morris S. C. $25,000; Selma, Ala., $7,500; Southern, Baton Rouge, La., $50,000; Spelman, Atlanta, $73,150; State, Orangeburg, S. C., $20,000; Durham, N. C., $5,000; State, Montgomery, Ala., $4,000; Storer, Harper's Ferry, $3,000; Taladega, $15,000; Tyler, Tex. $20,000; Virginia N. and I., $25,000; Wiley, Marshall, Texas, $25.00. Elementary and Secondary Of the $500,000 awarded to elementary and secondary schools of the South, the General Education Board gave $77,500 to the Jeans Fund, and $15,000 to the Slater Fund. The sum of $134,500 was appropriated to elementary and secondary schools. The board also appropriated money for the support of rural school agents, for county training schools and summer institutes. Colored Policeman Captures Bandit but Receives No Mention (Special to The Tribune) PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Officer Adolphus Ennis of the 19 district, made a daring capture of one of three white bandits who held up a Greek restaurant here last week. The colored police encountered the bandit later found to be Clyde Campbell, as he was rushing to investigate shots coming from the vicinity of 1429 South street, where the robbery occurred. He commanded the fleeing robbers to halt. The latter's answer was a shot which pierced the policeman's coat just above the shoulder. The policeman then responded shooting the fugitive three time. The wounded man was taken to the hospital where it was pronounced that he would recover. In spite of his bravery, the colored bluecoat received no mention for his bravery. Woman Sits in Window For Hours Before it is Konwn that She is Dead (Special to The Tribune) CAMDEN, N. J.—Passersby little knew that Mrs. Lorenda Steward, whom they saw sitting in a window of her home at 1337, Princess Anne avenue, was dead, she remained in front of the window for nearly six hours before her daughter, Minnie Steward discovered that she was dead. Physicians pronounced her death due to heart trouble. A. P. A. TO URGE STUDENTS TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL GO TO COLLEGE A. P. A. TO URGE STUDENTS TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL GO TO COLLEGE WASHINGTON, D. C.—More vigorous than ever before will be the sixth annual "Go to High School-Go to College" campaign to be waged throughout the United States by the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity during the week of May 11th to 17th, inclusive, according to announcement just made by Norman L. McGhee, national secretary of the fraternity. Everyone of the 56 chapters of the fraternity, with a total membership aggregating 3500 will devote its energies to the conduct of a thoroughly systematic drive to bring the gospel "Go to High School-Go to College" to the attention of twelve million colored people, men, women and children, in every part of the United States. Experience gained in the past five years since the first campaign in 1920 has caused the fraternity to come into knowledge of the best methods to be used in reaching the masses of the colored people with its educational campaign. National Director to Prepare Bulletin. Aside from the information already in hand as to methods to be employed in the conduct of the campaign, Raymond W. Cannon, national president of the fraternity and director of the educational campaign, has spent some three months collecting various educational data to be published in a bulletin which will be scatter broadcast in the various cities, towns, and villages in every state of the Union. This bulletin will contain numerous inspirational messages from noted educators, both white and colored, and other material which suggests the value of thorough preparation on the part of the Negro child for a life of service to his race, his country, and his time. Campaign Inaugurated in 1920 "Go to High School-Go to College" week has been pronounced by leading educators as the most forward looking movement ever inaugurated by a group of college students. The first annual campaign was held in May, 1920. In that year more than five hundred thousand parents and students were reached through circulation of literature, the display of placards, through the press, and the holding of meetings by the chapters and members of the fraternity in various sections of the United States. During the year 1924 the local campaigns conducted by the fifty odd chapters reached some three and one-half million parents and students. Endorsed by Heads of the Nation In 1920 the campaign was endorsed by President Harding who said: "The need for effective work to reduce illiteracy among the colored people is very great and manifestly it can be accomplished chiefly thru the equipment of members of the colored race to do educational work among their own people." President Coolidge, in reply to a letter from the national secretary, said: "I have noted with the greatest interest the literature which you sent to me calling attention to the results of this campaign in behalf of wider educational efforts among the young colored people of the country. I cannot let pass the opportunity which you have opened to me of telling you how much I am interested in every movement of this kind. Our institutions will at last depend for their solidity and perpetuity upon the intellectual capacity of the people to deserve and maintain them. Convinced of this, I am profoundly interested in every such movement as this which you bring to my attention, and wish for you and those cooperating with you the fullest possible success." Governors and Presidents of Col leges Comment Movement The "Go to High School-Go to College" campaign also received the endorsement and support of Honorable Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce of the United States, and the commendation of the governors of five of the leading commonwealths of Attack is Made on 15 Year Old Girl By Married Man ST. LOUIS, Mo.—A forty-four year old white man, E. Clarke, father of two children, is being held in the city jail under a $2,000 bond, charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a pretty east end colored high school girl, 15, whose name is being withheld. The outrage occurred in a grocery store at Columbia and 16th streets, a Negro neighborhood, where Clark and his father-in-law were employed as clerks. Friends of the misled girl discovered her plight, when they followed her in the store after their suspicions had been aroused. She was found in a back room in company with Clark, after a colored man forced the father-in-law to allow him to investigate. Clark confessed relations with the girl, and declared that he loved her, although he has a wife. His bail was at first set at $10,000 but later changed to $2,000. Smoking Room for Ladies Now Latest Thing in Milwaukee (Special To The Tribune) MILWAUKEE, Wis. — A little room in the amen corner of the country infirmary's second floor, is a popular place these days because—sh-h!—it's a smoking room. On any sunshiny afternoon a group of old women, colored and white, may be seen there chatting, while they enjoy a tilt with their favorite pipes. Ladies' smoking rooms are regarded generally as places where the fair sex should not tread. But this rule does not apply at this institution. If the old ladies are in the least perturbed by being observed with their pipes in action, they do not show it. A plain Missouri Meerchaum—the old-fashioned corn cob—in the opinion of these old ladies, means a more comfortable smoke than all the fancy cigarettes, jeweled cases and expensive holders ever invented. One silver headed "grandma" placidly admitted that she was 90 and at the same time that her pipe had been her faithful companion for 50 years. "But," said the reformers, "don't you know that the reformers say that a pipe will shorten your life?" "Pshaw! The reformers will go, but smoking'll go on forever." Fred P. Oeflin, superintendent, declared that many of the old ladies enjoyed their pipes as much as the men and therefore he saw no reason to stop the practice. $10,000 SALARY FOR NEGRO WASHINGTON, D. C.—S. H. Dudley, colored theatrical magnet and business man, has been offered an annual salary of $10,000 to fill the office of treasurer of the Federal Loan and Finance company, which was organized here last month by a group of Negro business men. the country, and the presidents of a large number of America's leading educational institutions. Plans Underway to Broadcast Educational Message As a means of reaching more effectively all groups of the nation's citizenry messages regarding the campaign were broadcasted through radio stations in a number of large cities during the campaign of 1924. This year efforts are being made to see that an hour will be spent in sending broadcast the message of "Go to High School-Go to College" from the leading radio broadcasting stations in large cities of the country. Every possible means of disseminating information urging the colored youth of the nation to go to high school and go to college will be utilized. Five Million Persons Goal of Fraternity The goal of the fraternity this year is to reach five million parents and students with the fundamental message regarding the need of education. Among those who will cooperate with Director Raymond W. Cannon will be Associate Directors James W. McGregor, first vice president of the fraternity; Peyton F. Anderson, second vice president; James A. Scott, third vice president; Charles W. Greene, fourth vice president; Norman L. McGhee, secretary; Homer Cooper, treasurer; and Oscar C. Brown, editor of The Sphinx. Wrong Man is Taken Out by Ku Klux Klan in Williamson, N. C. WILLIAMSON, N. C.—The trial of four men, Fernie W. Sparrow, John Kurkin, John G. Carey and Alien Griffin, leaders of a mob that performed an illegal operation on Joe Needleman, 21, accused of assaulting Effie Griffin, a 17-year-old salesgirl, is being rushed with all haste, for fear of more violence. Since the crime, sentiment has changed, and Needleman, at first believed guilty, is now thought innocent. The sordidness of the incidents which preceded the attack on Needleman have caused the general belief that it was a frame-up. The assault was not reported until two weeks after it is alleged to have occurred, when Miss Griffin told her fiance, Sparrow, that the man he had introduced her to assaulted her during an automobile ride. After Needleman's arrest, although he pleaded to be removed from Martin county, which is a Klan territory, until he could prove his innocence, the sheriff, H. T. Roberson, paid him no heed; and even when he heard that a mob was coming after the prisoner, he did not attempt to interfere. The mob removed Needleman from the jail and took him two miles in the country, where they offered him a choice of having his head severed or being maimed. He was operated upon and left, but managed to reach town and secure medical aid. Doctors at first were despairing over his chances for life, but an operation is believed to have saved him. Friends of Needleman have sent $10,000 to aid in the prosecution of his abusers, and the governor has offered $800 reward for the arrest and conviction of any member of the mob. The attorney general has set out in an effort to bring all of the participants in the flendish crime to justice. Pennsylvania Man is Legally Married to His Own Sister (Special to The Tribune) Johnstown, Pa.—The hearing of Stephen Balogh, aged nineteen who married his sister, aged seventeen, in Cumberland, Md., Monday, was postponed Friday until Saturday morning. Although still held by the police, no prosecution has been made against the girl, who has told the authorities that she expects to become a mother within two months. The father, Stephen Balogh, Sr., announced Friday that he would prosecute his son "to the limit." They were arrested in a rooming house Thursday night, after a wide search by authorities of Johnstown, Cumberland and other cities. The police said Helen told them she was sorry the marriage had been broken up, and that she wanted to go on living with her brother. The case has attracted such excitement in this part of the state. This is the same city where the mayor ordered all Negroes to leave sometime ago. Educator Suggests Plan to Solve Race Problem Amicably (Special to The Tribune) NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.—"Get real leaders of the black and white races together to talk things over and we will have solved what we call the Negro problem," said Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, last Tuesday night in the Rutgers University gymnasium during a concert by the Hampton Quartet. "That seems to be a quiet way to solve one of the most difficult problems of the day," he continued, "but it's true. We at Hampton and Tuskegee are attempting to bring about the cultural emancipation of the black man and in this we believe will be found the solution." Conditions of the Negro have constantly improved since the shortage of Negro labor in the South has been noticed, the speaker said. Lynchings fell from almost fifty in 1923 to seventeen in 1924. Counties south of the Mason and Dixon line have built better school houses, Y. M. C. A.'s and living quarters for the colored men, he declared. Price 10 Cents a Copy, $2.50 a year. COLORED PEOPLE BECOMING MORE UNITED IS CLAIM WASHINGTON, D. C.—In an address before the Anthropological Society of Washington, Friday, on "Some Aspects of the Anthropology of the American Negro," Dr. L. J. Herksovitz of the National Research Council, stressed the fact that there is a tendency toward racial solidarity among the American Negro, more so than there is among the American whites. Variations Decreasing In his address, based on the problem of the variability in racial crossing of the Negro-Indian-white groups, Dr. Herksovitz declared that research developed a conception of present inter-racial admixture as a homogeneous, rather than a heterogeneous group, and showed lesser variability among Negro Americans than among the white population. Conclusions were drawn from tests made of the 1,300 colored school children of the Harlem district of New York, whose parents came from all parts of the United States and the West Indies. Negro variability from a homogeneous type in America, the speaker stated, was as low as that of the Buslars of Africa or of the Chippewa Indians or Bavarians. This statement accorded with the theory of Professor Todd, of the Western Reserve University, of greater variability among the white American group. Research by Dr. Herksovitch revealed that the growth curve of colored children who live on the poverty line, compared with that of white children who live on the highest level, shows that up to 16 years, the Negro child averages 5 pounds heavier and is from 4 to 6 centimeters taller than the white child. He declared that researches, now being conducted by him, among the male students of Howard University, reveal phenomena of prime importance that show conclusively that there is more consolidation toward a definite group among the Negroes than among the whites. Of 300 genealogies taken at Howard University yesterday, only 10 had white grandparents. With other similar statistics, the speaker concluded that racial crossing is at present on a marked decrease. Dr. Herksovitz indicated the physical destiny of the Negro in America by demonstrating that among 50 per cent of students in Howard University, and in other groups studied, the mother was lighter than the father. He presented measurements which he regarded as a working hypothesis that the Negro is tending to become a stabilized homogeneous group. The address was discussed by Dr. Hrdlycka and by Dr. Paul Bartsch of Howard Medical School. Dr. Bartsch attacked, the veracity of conclusions drawn from genealogies which disclosed the color of the legal parent, but which could not demonstrate beyond a doubt the biological parentage. The loose social conditions in many sections do not assume that the legal parents are the actual parents of the child, unfortunately. Bishop A. J. Carey Calls Educational Congress in 5th Dist.

Perhaps she's won a martyr's crown So early set her sun; "Here lies a woman," the stone should read, "Who stopped when her work was done."

It is best to thrive as a woman alive Than an early death, you know." The old saying, "A little bird told me," is said to have originated in early days when superstitious people paid considerable attention to the birds and their cries, which were believed to foretell events. Traces of their belief are to be found in the Old Testament, where verse 20, chapter 10, Ecclesiastes, speaks of "for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter."

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Alabama —"Buy Something from a Negro Merchant," is the slogan for National Negro Trade Week which will be observed May 4-11 as announced in a booklet distributed today from Tuskegee Institute, the headquarters for the National Negro Business League. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute and President of the National Negro Business League says, "This campaign is not organized in antagonism to other merchants, but it is planned for the purpose of advertising the existence of Negro business enterprises and to encourage the Negro merchants to cooperate in local trade boosting campaigns." In previous years similar campaigns have been conducted by Negro merchants in Atlanta, St. Louis, San Antonio and other places and reports show that they have not only increased the turn-over of stock of these colored enterprises, but have been the means of bringing the Negro merchants into helpful contact with the white business men of their communities. The campaign conducted in St. Louis last year made possible the employment of more than one hundred additional colored men and women in Negro stores and business organizations and showed an average of thirty per cent increase in their gross business. Local Negro Business Leagues in various parts of the country are taking an active interest in the cam- Phone TARBELL TRANS Light and He All Kinds of Merchandise in Carload Lots, Hous Packed, Storec STORAGE WAREFOU 205 Souht First Avenue WEA THE ARCH PR Keeps Good Feet Well—Makes NELSON Phone 4439 BELL TRANSFER COMPANY Light and Heavy Hauling Kinds of Merchandise Handled and Distrib in Carload Lots, Household Goods Moved, Packed, Stored and Shipped FORAGE WAREFOUSE 319 W.

The booklet as distributed from Tuskegee Institute contains valuable information for business enterprises. One cheerful thing is noted in the furious controversy at Washington over aviation. Every other kind of charge has been made, except that of corruption. Even the severest critics of the army and navy do not acuse them of any dishonesty.—Topeka Capital. A statistical note says a plumber uses 23,245 implements and appliances. What more natural than that he should always forget one of them.—Mansfield Journal. Mr. Dawes not only jolted the Senate but he split several good infinitives in doing it.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. There is a larger proportion of left-handed men than women. Investigations seemed to indicate that high intelligence is associated with a high degree of laterality or at least with stability not with ambidexterity.

S., Society Editor The Phoenix Branch of the National Negro Business League held their first social and smoker Tuesday night in Hackett's hall, 216 East Washington street. Sixteen business and professional men were present to enjoy the collation and exchange ideas. Mr. A. Jackson Temple, real estate dealer, presided as toastmaster and introduced each member, who was asked to make a three-minute talk. Some good thoughts were advanced by the speakers, in so much that many exceeded the time limit. The talk by the president of League, Mr. Walter A. Brown, was easily the keynote speech of the evening and he was roundly applauded. Cooperation, race solidarity, race pride and race loyalty were the chief thoughts advanced. The prime object of the League is to bring about a closer relationship among the business and professional men of our group, and cement them into one common mass of friends and brothers. Next meeting of the League will be held Tuesday night, April 28, in Hackett's hall, 216 East Washington, and all men of our race who are interested in the advancement of Negro business, cordially invited.
