It has been hinted at a few of the political wise that W. G. McCullough, of the Department, who was nominated the Prohibition ticket, is to be and thus defuse James then the present minority position. It is remembered that Mr. McCullough was taken around a deal and introduced to many Robert Rumbert, who is a Albert Gumbert, who is nominated by Joseph Joseph. It is now-believed Robert had McCullough sent to the members of the City-County was to be defeated and Robert had the office, and Armstrong did that out. It is even said little is to be fooled into emp McCullough under the camera McCullough to put Gumbert to himself. It now looks as the trick is to put McCullough Ad Gumbert in and fool George.

Man States Hooded Mob Cut Off Ear
Nealthy Oklahoma Man Says Floggers Accused Him of "Relations."
OKLAHOMA City, Okla., Sept. 27.
"A revolting story to how members of a masked mob at Tulsa, after mercilessly beating a victim, cut off one of his ears and tried to force him, to cut it, was made public last week by Governor C. Walton in the form of testimony given the Tulsa-Military Court by J. H. Smith-military, a race man.
"This is only one of the hundreds of such crimes committed which the civil authorities of this state refused to prosecute." declared the executive. "I ask the people of the united world, if the people of this state wanted to be not justified in proclaiming martial law in the city of Tulsa."
Smitherman related how on the night of March 10, 1922, he was summoned to his door by twelve men, eight of whom were mobile at the point of invovers, taken into the country, stripped of his clothing, handcuffed and tied to a tree, whereupon his captors accused him of sexual Negroes as Democratic advising vote against the city administration. Next, one of the men spit in his face, Smitherman testified, after accusing him of being a white woman. Then he was beaten severely by two of his abductors, he declared, adding, "One would whip until he had exhausted himself and then the other would (Continued on Page 4, Col. 2)

Shoots Girl, Giving Love As the Cause
23-Year-Old Married Girl Victim of Boarder's Bullet — Wanted to Go "Straight"
Coming as a sordid climax to an alleged intimacy which had lasted for months, neighbors say, Mrs. Edna Willard-Gibbs, attractive 23-year-old wife of William Gibbs, of 2463 Fifth avenue, was brutally shot down by Isaac Peters, "star boarder" at the Gibbs home, Sunday evening, at the foot of the steps leading up to Beaulan street, at the very spot which had so often proven a "love-trust" for pain. I whisper her because I loved her and could not bear to be without her," the man is alleged to have cried, to no one in particular, as he fled the spot.
Neighbors who rushed to the aid of the steward woman, told of hear-sounds, shots, fire in rapid succession, of seeing the man grab the woman to him, as though in one last passionate embrace and then make his escape, as the victim of his jealous rage, slowly sank to the ground in a pitiful, unconscious heap.

Wealthy N. C. Citizen
Defies Ku Klux Klan
WINSTON SALEM, N. C., Sept. 27—Defying the Klu Klu Klan, Charles M. Kooten, one of the wealthiest colored men of the state, literally took the bit in his hand, ordered building continued on his new home. Wooten was warned by the Klan against building his home on property: purchased from a. white man, threatening him with a note and a truck check. (The truck check was time was long to move.) The note read: "Take warning! A stitch in time saves nine."

Johnstown Quiet Following "Pro-Clan" Edict Which Proved Boomerang—Case Under Investigation.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Sept. 26.—Joseph Cauffiel, "the little czar of of Johnstown," has retreated to his lair under the scourging lash of rigid investigation and public protest! His tyrannical edict to Negroes and Mexicans to Johnstown years ago, aimed to grim him the crown of glory and badge of honor he expected, for his world of dreams has come tumbling down the debris weakened, beaten, his Nemesis, DEFEAT, ready to take him by the hand. Instead of the brass band of victory greeting his pro-Klann order, the Governor of Pennsylvania, the Little State, through its embassy at Washington, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, began a rigid investigation that every citizen of Johnstown, regardless of creed or color, would be given the same constitutional rights in the administration of justice. And, not without the miserable political defeat at the polls, a poison thorn in his sidel!
Today Johnstown is quiet—the excitement of the last two weeks has subsided, and the deserted homes of thousands colored and the devastated community the peace and quiet of the community had been disturbed. All attempts to interview the mayor were futile. Until a late hour Tuesday, no statement was issued from the mayor, and the evidence of the outlay by attorney Gennaro John N. English, sent to investigate the matter by Governor Pinchot, to the effect that he was satisfied with the investigation and that the local authorities had assured him there was no further action. The affair resulted from a riot at Rosedale, August 30: when two police officers were killed and four injured when a moonshined-crazed colored steel employee ran amuck between two officers, and mediately began drastic steps to rid Johnstown of its Negro newcomers. He went so far as to say he would "arm the police and walk the Negroes out of town at the point of a gun." Upon being called in question, the mayor denied that he had ordered all Negroes and Mexicans to get out of the town, but that he had merely "advised" them to do so on account of a threatened riot by the Ku Klux Klan. The mayor's "high-and arbitrary action" has been properly handled. Public opinion in the North regards the result as far-reaching as concerns the interests of the Negro laborer in the North; and nips in the bud the propaganda of the migrant is receiving ill treatment at the hands of Northern labor.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.
—Henry Lincoln Johnson, of
Georgia, probably the most
influential of the Race
political leaders of the country,
had a private talk with President
Coolidge in the White
house Thursday.
Johnson is the member of the Republican national committee from Georgia who caused a stir at the 1920 national Republican convention at Chicago when his delegates nominated him from the floor to the sur-
scription of the other Republican who
claimed it had been presided he would
not make a fight for a place on the
Republican national committee.
Since that time he was nominated by Mr. Harding to be recorder of
the election, but the United States senate de-
cided to confirm the nomination.
Holds Coolidge As His Teacher
Asked what the purpose of his visit to the White house was, Johnson said on leaving the executive offices:
"I was feeling bully and I came to pay my respects to President Coolidge. You know I was educated most entirely by New England Yankees, and I served officers of Mr. Coolidge, so that I feel that through his friends he has been my schoolmaster."
Johnson is a tall figure with an oratorical turn of phrase and an emphatic style of expression.
"Are you still Republican national committeeman from Georgia?" he was asked by one of the newspaper men.

Exodus From South Reflected in Market
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Migration is being reflected in the trading here as indicated by a remarkable rise in cotton yarn prices which show mark-ups. The question questions are rising momentarily and constantly. It is to be doubted if the spinners will be able to make their December deliveries unless relief is found in other markets. The upward movement in cotton prices is traced to boll-wewell and the migration of colored labor from the cotton plantations.

(N. A. A. A. C. P. Press Services)
NEW YORK, Sept. 27—In an interesting article on how the Russian people regard America, which appears in The New Republic, of September-19, Arthur Ruhl, famous author and newspaper correspondent, tells of the effect upon the Russian people of news regarding Yelpings in mob violence. The State, Mr. Ruhl is now in Russia, and in his article the The New Republic headed "What the Russians Think of Us." has this to say:
"A Moscow comic paper last summer published on its front page a cartoon consisting of two, pictures in parallel columns. One, representing a group of African cannibals, fights an African hunter, elmleted white man to be roasted, was labelled 'Barbarous Africa.' The other, representing a Negro burning at the stake, surrounded by a mob of gloefal whites, was labelled 'In Cultured America.' This aspect of our civilization, which puzzered the audience, was the target for satire and every chee in so oft - comes a cartoon of this sort or an editorial on The Brute with a Veneer of Civilization."

Plays "Bananas," Halts Suit for Millions
NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 27—A race band playing "Yes, We Have No Bananas" in front of the Federal building Thursday morning caused the trial of a $3,625,000 peanut suit to halt. Judge Lawrence Groner took a recess until he could issue an order prohibiting the band from playing in that vicinity. "The jazz craze' is liable to affect the jury and then there is no telling what the verdict would be," said the judge.
and it is found that the brethren of the South have lost 148 votes in the shuffle, affecting the Republican National Convention.
The statisticians have figured with a keenly sharpened pencil, or a late model calculating machine. The process of elimination has strangely enough affected most those southern states where the "Children of the Sun" have heretofore had most to say in providing delegates for the quadrennial fracas. Georgia, Lincoln Johnson's native heath; Mississippi, Perry Howard's former stamping ground; Louisiana, the bailiwick of Walter Cohen; South Caroline, where Joe Tolbert, white, is backed by colored supporters; and Texas, the home of "Bill" McDonald, all came in for a heart-rending trimming.
On the other hand, all of the "Lily White" states, including Virginia, the home of "Stemp the Slump," get increased delegates. One of the New York newspapers, commenting on the southern outlook from the delegate viewpoint, and the power to be wielded by Slemp, goes on to say that while colored America, North as well as South, feels very chilly about what's going on, it is the opinion that the bad feelings and ill temper of the voters in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, New Jersey, Delaware and other similar states "where votes count," will be looked after following the nominations.
New Trend of Activity
There is a new trend of activity cropping out among the voters in the North. It centers around the inner workings of the forces at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, who, it is charged, have played "personal and sectional politics" rather than nationwide. It is argued by those who have been observing the doings, that these forces have been very little concerned about the states other than the ones in which they have lived.
It is pointed out that if they are going to be credited with leadership, then that leadership should embrace the states where politics is being played with votes rather than with political jobs. William C. Matthew of Boston, and the state of President Coolidge, is looked upon as the potential leader, who more nearly than any other, represents the spirit of thinking which has been ignored by Johnson, Howard, Cohen and Church. There has been definite talk of "rallying around Matthews" and carrying the "Message to Garcia" via the White House and other important channels of political activity.
Senators, Governors and Congressmen to be elected along with next President, have been urged to "give some consideration to the facts in the case."

ASSOCIATED PRESS (WHITE) CORRECTS FALSE REPORT OF CHICAGO PAPER ON ALLEGED RIOT
New York Negro Tammanyites Are Not National Democrats
Removal of Ministers on Migratory Wave, Is Regarded As Uprooting Of Community Life In Southern Hamlets
(Lincoln News Service)
NEW YORK, Sept. 27—That all stuff that glitters is not 14-carat gold among the colored Democrats is in evidence here. Colored leaders who entered the alliance with Tammany Hall are saying openly that the covenant was simply for local purposes and they cannot retain their racial status nor self-respect if it is to be extended to National affairs. Probably the firm decision of the National Democratic organization to refrain from injecting any color into its parly scheme has had something to do with whether this affected it or not, it is being made clear that the interest of the colored Democrats here is so essentially localized that it is confined to the geographical boundaries of New York and the things that in them is"—such as Tammany Hall and its plethora of jobs.
If anybody expects them to shout and vote for any Democrat upon a national ticket he is slated for disappointment. Even Governor Al Smith, who re-
Removal of Wave, Is Re Community
Colored Business and Professional Men Forced to Follow in Wake of Exodus.
ATLANTA, Sept. 27.—(Special)—From the Yazoo Delta to Atlanta, the migration of Negro laborers to Northern industries has been accompanied by an exodus of colored business and professional men. Preachers have had to move to Chicago, Detroit or Cleveland to keep up with their congregations. One church in a nearby town had 300 members a year ago. Today it has only one, an ancient unable to stand the railroad trip. Last week the preacher packed his belongings and joined the procession. It is cited by leaders as a typical case.
The Baptist organization of Georgia reports that since New Year its rural churches have lost more than 10,000 members, while Bishop Will Church reports many circuits in his congregation have departed. The church is the center of the community life of the Negroes and the preacher stands first in influence as a leader.
One hears from white men of standing that in general the Southern Negroes have leaders of good, common sense. The leaders of the race in the South are the preachers, teachers, doctors and lawyers. The lawyers are put last by men of both races who have grown up with the problem. The educators stand high in influence, but the colored preacher is generally a real leader. The disruption of churches and congregations is accounted by many thinkers of serious matter. They say it may retard any movement of the colored migrants back to the Southland, something on which many are piously counting when industry slackens, although it appears that not more than 10 per cent of the migrants of the last few years have returned permanently.

cently discovered that it would not look nice for Harry Wills to swat Jack Dempsey until after the Democratic National Convention, would not command the support of the colored Tammanyites. Governor Smith does pretty well at home, and while sequestered within the cosmopolitan precincts of Gotham, is quite innocent of the discrimination and proscription, by which the National Democratic party thrives and has its being; but it has been proven that innocents at home are not innocents abroad and this is especially true in the Democratic party.
The colored Democrat of New York is a wise Democrat. In proof of this witness the revenue accrued from the pay-as-you-enter policy by which jobs are returned for allegiance. The New York colored Democrat knows that Governor Smith cannot be either nominated or elected without the same coterie of Negro haters, disfranchisers and segregationalists, who

Smith will go the way of all Democratic candidates for President. It is the path that each must tread if they expect-to-get there, and it is a path no skimmed with the route of real kindness. It is written in the Democratic ritual that a candidate must damn the Negro if he would survive to arrive and he must subscribe it or get out of the running. No Democratic candidate for President in the last twenty years has failed to take the oath of discrimination against the Negro. And, now, we have Senator Underwood, coming out of the wilderness, saying that it is not enough to have a simple votary of Democratic principles from the North, but the party. must have the real thing from the South, who is willing to stop the functions of the Government rather than stop the inhuman practice of lynching in the South.

the war period, is mainly composed of the superior type of Negro laborer.
Race issue in Politics Wanes
Heretofore the one greatest trouble with the color problem has been that the politicians have used it for a political football. The Vardaman and Tillman type used the Negro question as a stepladder to political office, and by exploiting it as a political issue retarded the South in a real handling of the problem. Now the migration is serving to take the race issue out of politics.
Mississippi has just concluded a Governorship campaign in which for the first time in a generation the race question was not an issue. Georgia is slower. Various programs have been advanced by groups interested in the betterment of race relationships, but the legislature has generally remarked that whatever Georgia does to counteract the migration it will have to be done independently of the politicians.
Suggest Remedy
Race leaders in July, in a statewide conference, issued an address to the Legislature and the white citizenry outlining the causes of migration and suggesting a remedy.
"Our greatest disturbance, however," said the conference of leaders, "is the open defiance of our laws in the form of mob violence.
"No influence has done more to drive colored people away from the State, to give Georgia a bad name in the mouths of those who live without its borders, to deter both capital and labor from our State, and to keep up the unsettled conditions of colored labor here than the influence of the mob. In the midst of it, no colored person, however honest, industrious, humble and law-abiding, can possibly feel himself safe over night."

Race Men Did Not Invade Hall and Snatch White Women from Male Escorts Wild, Hair-Raising Story Published in Chicago American Nothing But a Lie, Investigator Finds.
REV. R. W. CHRISTIAN
Hair Seed Magic Wonder Hair Grower
CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 27 — Following an investigation by Morris Lewis, Regional Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at Chicago of an alleged riot on July 30, at Worth, Ill., when, it was charged, Negroes appeared at a community dance hall and snatched white women from their partners before being driven off by the police, the Associated Press issued a refutation of the story as follows:
"Chicago, August 23 — Morris Lewis, Regional Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, denied today the report made by a Chicago newspaper, July 30, of an alleged raid on a community dance hall in Worth, Illinois.
"The circulated story told how colored workmen had entered the dance hall and snatched white women from their partners—and how they were driven off by the police.
"No such raid occurred," said Mr. Lewis. "In the first place, there is no community dance hall in Worth. There are some 75 colored laborers there. The story had its origin in an attempt by several colored laborers to hold up the commissary of the company for which they were working. Four or five men were arrested. That is the whole story.
"City officials and local newspapers corroborate the findings of my investigation and declare that the majority of the colored laborers ininity have always been orderly."
The Mokena News-Bulletin (white) of August 3rd said of the incident:
"The Chicago American came out with a wild half-raising story stating that the colored men had appeared at a dance and had pulled guns on the white men and took their girls from them. All this was bunk and in fact the whole story has caused a reflection to be cast on the colored people that is harmful.
"Fully 95 per cent if not.more of the men are said to be as orderly and law-abiding as any white men and the actions of a few hard-boiled members should not condemn the whole camp. Many of the men have

"The people of Worth greatly resent the wild story published in the Chicago paper and wish to have it understood that it would not stand for anything of the nature as described in the Windy City paper."

Complete Plans For 'Y' Opening
Sunday, September 24, 1922; will go down in Pittsburgh's history as one of its really great days. On that occasion, more than 10,000 colored citizens in one way or another participated in the dedication Center Avenue Y. M. C. A. building, in a sense, the opening of the new building, which begins this Sabbath. September 30, will surpass the other event, in meaning the dedication proper will take place, when: Bhapo Robert E. Jones, D.D., of New Orleans, La., the president; general secretary, members of the board of trustees and directors of the association of Pittsburgh, Gen. A. J. Logan, Nexelah Anderson, chairman of the branch, and Attorney Homer Brown will speak. Dr. J. E. Moorland, on his successor on the board, members of New York will also be present. Mrs. Mary Burwell is to be the dedicatory solitary, Nelson Arter, accompanist.
Wednesday, "Boys' Night," this night will be given over to the boys and their parents and to addresses given by persons interested in boys work. The principal address will be delivered by the Rev. Shelton H. Bishop, rector of the Church of the Holy Cross. His subject will be "The Church, the Young Men's Christian Association and the Boy."
RACE DELEGATIONS CALL
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
(Continued From Page One)
"Yes," snapped Johnson, "I am and I always will be."
Probably the visit of Johnson means the support to President Coolidge of certain race delegates from the southern states to the Republican national convention of 1924. There always is a scramble to swing those delegates on line and there are frequent contests as the eligibility of the delegates usually on the ground that improper influence was brought to-be to gain their support.
When certain Republican leaders told President Coolidge that he should appoint C. Bascom Slemp as his private secretary they paid high tribute to the latter's political ability. Mr. Coolidge was not in good favor with the colored political leaders, so that President Coolidge has had to act more or less as conciliator to preserve the support of the race. Mr. Coolidge on Tuesday, in receiving a delegation of race, man, had an open question in how he saw his sympathies for the race. His visitors came with a petition that the federal government do all in its power to stamp out lawlessness, to suppress oath-bound organizations and secure the effective enfranchisement of the Negroes in every foot of United States territory. What President Coolidge said in reply was not given out for publication, but those who heard the remarks described it as a beautiful little speech. Mr. Coolidge had another engagement, this being the Order of Moses, which claims a membership of 250,000 people.
Why have hair that you are ashamed of—nappy, kinky, subburn hair—when it is easy to have hair that you are proud of? Have beautiful hair that falls in straight silky, soft, gleaning strands behind your shoulders. Have hair that is long enough and soft enough to dress in any way you wish.
That's the kind of hair you want and that's the kind of hair you can have if you will use Hi-Ji Quinine Hair Dressing, the wonderful new hair treatment. Hi-Ji Quinine Hair Dressing costs no more than the ordinary dressings, but results will soon show you how greatly superior it is to them.
Not only does Hi-Ji beautify, soften and lengthen the hair, but it removes dandruff, stops itching of the scalp, letter and relievers all scalp disorders.

Then he tried to make me eat it, and, when I refused, he took the butt of the whip and hit me in the face until he was tired, all the time trying to make me eat my meat.

According to, Miss Proctor, this straightening brush will greatly facilitate the treatment of the hair and will prove a blessing to woman of my race.

Miss Proctor stated that arrangements were being made to have the brush manufactured in large quantities and that she hoped to produce it at a price that is popular and within reach of every woman. "For the past fifteen years I have been studying and experimenting, view of perfecting a hair straightening, hair smoothing, hair stability and quality and above all—one that actually would do the work.

The Late Ethel C. Cole
On the threshold of womanhood, a love-song in her heart, a hope of years of happiness within her breast, yet-faith supreme in Him—Ethel Clinton Cole has gone the way of "Laughing Water" to the land of Hereafter. And with her gone the family of famous friends! September 22nd at 8:48 A.M. her late residence, 3843 Parkview avenue, she went to eternal sleep, following a serious illness of several weeks.
Miss Cole was the devoted daughter of the late George W. Cole and Addie B. Cole, nee Ware, and the beloved betrothed of Marion Roland Perry, of Pina Bluff, Arkansas.

Dempsey and COFFROTH EXPECTED TO MAKE PROPOSITION TO CHAMP'S MANAGER
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—James W. Coffroth, proponent of hoof and fist affairs out California, way, has yet to emerge from the silence since his arrival in the east, but, according to information received from a far western source, he has some plausible arguments to offer when he attempts to line up Dempsey and Wills for a heavyweight championship bout at Tia Juana. So far Coffroth has maintained a marked reserve in discussion of the enterprise, but it is believed he will confer with Jack Kearns before the latter leaves town did proposition him as fellows:
U. S. COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC BE A CHIROPRACTOR! Enroll Now! Classes Now Open
STUDY AT NIGHT, WORK DURING THE DAY.
BITE FOR INFORMATION RESIDENCE COURSE ONLY
An established $50,000.00 College and Corporation
The only College in the world that ever graduated a

and proposition him as follow:
He, Coffroth, will promote the bout at his Tia Juana track early in the year, offering each fighter a flat guarantee, deemed commensurate with his ability and drawing power.
The arena, seating more than 50,000, to be built on a level stretch of ground near the back, but slightly higher. Racing to be supported for the day.
Proof of his financial ability to swing the enterprise and the offering of absolute guarantee that the fight will be held without official interference and that the fighters will receive their share of the purse whether the bout draws 50,000 or merely gentlemen of the press and the ushers.
Figure on Great Crowd
In addition, Goffroth can point to
the fact that the great crowds can
be, and are transported to the Mexican
border town without incon-
sidence for every important event
in the country. In fact, that
50,000 visitors from Los
Angeles and vicinity spent Labor
day at Tia Juana, while at least
20,000 more crossed the border from
Tan Diego.
They made the trip without the
lightest difficulty, the San Diego
and Arizona railroad carrying 20,000
persons to the track in a few hours.
The remainder of the crowd came by
botor, this being California's favor-
er of transportation. The roads are so good at there that
trip of 400 miles consumes only a
short time.
Running across the border from San Diego and Los Angeles is a wide public highway parallelled by two auxiliary gravel roads. Customs inspection at the border is said to be quite perfunctory, and little time is spent in hotels the Oregon, the U. S. Grant and other postgres have ample accommodations while Coronado Tent city, 30 minutes from the town, has a capacity of 10,000. The fallacy that Tex Rickard and New York are only acceptable for the promotion of championship disproved. Coffrithutation is backling. Running title bouts when Rickard still square-dealing the boys around Goldfield.

ROANOKE, Va., Sept. 27—At the fair held in this city on Sept. 23, Joe Burks won the pacing race for two days in succession. His time was 2 min. 17 sec.
St. Alcar won first place in all of the races in which he was entered showing a clean pair of heels to the fold. Both of these horses are owned by Joseph Gill, colored business man of this city, and a race-horse owner.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 27—John Arthur Johnson, former heavy weight champion of the world, had been engaged by Luis Angel Firpo to train him for his next bout, according to rumors in fisticccles here. Johnson started to train Firpo for his Dempsey fight, but the two could not get along, it is said. After Dempsey knocked some of the concenedness out of the "tame cow" of South America, he decided that he needed the "old master."

WILLS STARTS FIGHTING WAY TO DEMPSEY
Match With Homer Smith in Michigan This Week First of Series of Fights.
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 27—Harry Wills, the Bronze Panther of New Orleans, and Amender for Dempsey's heavyweight crown have been matched to fight Homer Smith of Kalamazoo, Mich, in a ten round contest at the Queensboro Stadium this week. The bout will be of unusual interest, not only because it will mark Wills' first ring appearance in a year, but also Scargent Smith gained prominence by staying the limit of a ten-round match with Luis Angel Firpo last Aug. 3 at Amah, Neb.
Smith was the first boxer to stay the limit with Firpo since the Argentine mauler's advent to pugilistic fame in this country. The Michigan fighter was knocked down almost at will by the South American but managed to weather the blows in the last bell. The contest was staged during Firpo's midsummer exhibition tour. Two weeks after the Smith bout, Joe Downey of Cincinnati, succeeded in going the limit of 10 rounds with Firpo at Indianapolis, 16-ounce gloves being used.
Wills To Fight Way To Dempsey
Wills, unsuccessful in his protracted campaign to force Jack Dempsey into a title match, now has declared his willingness to meet Firpo to decide which shall be enforced on the next firm with champion. But so far little progress has been made toward making the match, for Wills has flatly declared he will not fight Firpo in Argentine, while the South American battler already has signed with promoter Tex Rickard to box Wills next April in his native country.
Firpo is not anxious to don the gloves again-before next spring or summer but is insistent that if he fights Wills, the bout be staged in the Argentine's native land. Wills is indifferent to the match to be staged in this country. Wills plans to engage in a three months' exhibition tour following his fight with Homer Smith this week.

Senegalese Bike Rider Entered In Endurance Race
Senegalese Bike Rider Entered In Endurance Race
CHICAGO, Sept. 27- (By A. N. P.) Ali Nefatti of Senagal is to be one of the entries in the six-day bike race to be started at the Coliseum, October 27. Nefatti is a countryman and close personal friend of Siki, the great French fighter, who is now touring America. Nefatti has been one of the fastest riders appearing in the European races in the last two years. Last week he won the eleventh edition in Paris, he won one of the important races, scoring victories over Brocco Van Kempen, Ellergaard and foreign stars. He is especially good in long hard-run races.
When Siki arrived in the United States several weeks ago found the bike tracks at New York and Newark N. J., drawing immense crowds, he sent for Ali Nefatti to come over, and the latter is expected to wait some time next week. No guarantee that yet been selected for the Senegalese, but Manager Harmon states that he will not be teamed up with any of the Germans who are expected to enter the long grind.
Siki Makes U. S. Debut In Phila.
By W. Rollo Wilson
BY W. Koilo Wilson
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27—Jack Hanlon, matchmaker of the Arena, has scored a beat over all competitors. He has Battling Siki signed, sealed and ready to deliver for an eight-round, no-decision bout with George Godfrey on the night of Monday, October 8th. Godfrey is one of Jack Dempsey's sparring partners and by many is considered the best prospect among the heavies" of the match. He will go 220 pounds to the Frenchman's 180. If Siki is half as fast an he is said to be the battle will be a real slugging match for Baron Jimmy Dougherty's entry can take a lot of punishment and give a lot more in turn. This is the first time colored fighters have figured in a big show in this city for years. It is hoped that this is but a fore-runner to mixed bouts. With the soon passing of Cortelyou, police czar, and his ultimatums such may be the case.
Another big fighter who is anxious to show in Philadelphia is Lee Anderson, of Boston, who is now touring the west. Recently he knocked out Kid Norfolk and licked Sam Langford. The Courier man will be at the ringside to give our readers first-hand information about Siki, the world's sensation.
SIKI GETS LICENSE
NEW YORK City, Sept. 27—Battling Skii was, granted the license last week to box in New YorkState. While on the other hand it is reported that he was refused a license in Massachusetts by the State Boxing Commission. The commission gave me reason or refusing to grant the license which was applicable for several days ago. It is thought that probably the Bay State commission will reverse its decision in the near future.

Hubbard Only Olympic Broad Jumper In U. S.
Ralph Davis Comments on Michigan University Star—Upholds Courier's Contention.
Ralph Davis, sporting editor of The Pittsburg Press, holds up the contention of the Courier, when he makes the following comment on the broad-jumping outlook of this country, in connection with the 1924 Olympics. The Courier has held the contention that the nucleus of the 1924 American broad-jumping team will be colored, and Davis' article but confirms this contention.
"The United States will enter the Olympic games next year with only one broad-jumper who can be depended on to beat the foreign cracks. The man in question is DeHart Hubbard, the colored boy from the University of Michigan, who formerly leaped here under the colors of the Scholastic A. C.
"Hubbard is the only jumper in the world who can consistently jump over 24 feet. In fact, he is considered the greatest broad jumper that ever lived.
"Only six men - excepting Hubbard, have ever beaten 24 feet 6 inches. They are Gutterson, O'Connor, Prinstein, Worthington, Butler and Gourdin. None, of these succeeded in leapin the distance a second time. Hubbard has shown himself the peer of all broad jumpers by making eight jumps this season that exceeded that distance.
"Excepting Hubbard, the chances of the American broad jump squad taht will compete at Paris next year will be just a trifle better than ever. Ned Gourdin, holder of the world's record for the event, has never been a consistent 24 foot jumper, except for a few weeks in 1921. Sol Butler, the dusky performer from Dubuque, Iowa, who shared the spotlight among American jumpers for more than eight years, "gave back" Bob LeGendre, former only champion, again.比赛 champion, never was a sufficiently great jumper, although he has a leap of 24 feet, 3 inches to his

As to fights leading up to with Dempsey, Wills' had said to be qualified to last one more battle and if this case he would not be likely to them up on a small battle.

Commissioners of Association to Meet and Perfect Plans for Next Season.
DARBY, Pa., Sept. 27 - Facing the task of winning nine out of ten games to tie the league leading Hildale Club, the Cuban Stars have their work cut out for them to knot up; matters in the Eastern Colored League race. The Islanders bested the Brooklyn Royal's by taking four out of seven in their barnstorming trip through New York State.
Rain broke up what probably would have proved to be the deciding game of the league series for Ed. Bolden's Hildale team, when a deluge prevented the Darbyzets from mixing matters with the Cuban Stars in the final tilt with the Islanders. A win for the Hildale sluggers would have settled matters definitely and clinched the bunting for Bolden's cohorts.
But in the event that Pompey Cuban Stars copped the game, they have a mighty tough row to hoe to get near the flying Philadelphia. The Cubans dropped into Baltimore for a three game series with the Baltimore Sox, but only the first encounter will count in the league standings.

BY FAIR PLAY
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Billy Nolan, now a rancher near San Francisco, has been in town the past few days. The rumor is that he may take over the handling of Harry Wills.
That he would like to, the writer has learned from Nolan's friends, but no one close to Wills has any idea that he wants to oust Paddy Mullins, his present manager.
Nolan says that if he were Wills' manager he would force Dempsey into a battle with the contender within a short time. And maybe he would. Billy is some force when he gets down to work.
He will be recalled as the former manager of Battling Nelson, handling his affairs in the Goldfield fight when he compelled Joe, Gans to

HAWKIN'S SYNCOPATED SERENADERS
Infirmities served by Mosswilded Temple No. 89, Dt. Elks
Although the eligibility rules have taken for the time being such promising men as N. S. Patterson, John Free, David Burwell and Willer, coaches are confident of producing a strong team. Among the recruits are many high school stars. A few of them are: Butter, Wilberforce, Isaac, State, Kentucky, Langston,olliver, Kansas, Lee, Lexington High, and a number of others.
The only place with out a veteran contender is that left vacant by E. L. Red" Dabney, Dacney Pinelle and Newman, Lee, Lexington High, must show some real football to replace any of the letter men.
For two afternoons the candidates were carried through varied and strenuous conditions exercises. After the workouts there were smiles and laughter from the coaches. This week will be a continuation of the football program.

ced they are big and fast, enthusiastic and willing to learn. This will do much to off-set the lack of experience. Much stress has been laid during the early practice in training and handling the ball. Marked improvement was noticed in every department after the first week's work.
T. C. Myers, former star quarter back at Lincoln University under the tutelage of the famous Fritz Pollard and the fourth member of the famous "Ridgley, Law and Par backfield combination at Lincoln in 1918 and 1919," is coaching the football team for fun points of forward passing, and in side-stopping, dodging and in screening the ball in a running uteke.
The "havies" composing the line are being teamed by John H. "Big" Brown of Union, who himself was, for four years one of the hardest charging and most feared linemen in the Eastern Inter-college League. He is emg planting the use of the ball in games in blocking and breaking through and is developing a big, strong, hard fast charging line behind which Coach Myers' proteges will operate.
Coach Abbott in an interview today stated that he was well satisfied with the progress of his boys and felt that in spite of the fact that the team would lose theAlgers at Alamogordo would make themselves felt in the Southern Grid Circuit this season. Among the men who are showing mid-season form are Boss at Quarter-back, Joiner and Wooten at full-back, Bailey Syevens and Penny at half-back, Zadock and Danziek at tackles Brown and Wright at Guarriz and Gilbo, Duncan Clay and Watzen at end.

TWO DRILLS DAILY, RULE AT HOWARD
Many Veterans Back in Lineup, Supporters Look for Great Eleven.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 27—Howard University's football team is getting off to an early start, a good group having already reported to Coach L. L. Watson. The Boarding Department was opened fifteen days ahead of its scheduled opening by the University's judicial authorities on March 15th, with the complete corps of managers, assistants, cooks waiters, etc., so as to provide for the Football Training Table.
The coach started Monday, Sept. 17 with two drills a day until the University officially opens October 1st. Jack Nurse former star guard for Howard, will be out on the field to help help will do nothing to his Alma Mater. Among the players in Washington, in addition to Captain Doneghy who has been on the grounds for some time, are Bing Miller and Big Melton the giant guard of two years age. Melton has been on the field and get in trim for the hard grind. With the coming of Thomas Anderson the weightman of the track team and the other husky lads of Isaac season's squad including "Ray" Contea, "Cabbage" Melton, "E. A. J" Long, Bull Dogg Williams, last year Blackstein, Webster, Beechus and Priestly, supporters of Howard athletes may look for a heavy, fast fighting team. The Coach, Manager Curtis, and Captain Doneghy have been given assurance that training problems have been worked out and nothing remains out the awful fight for first team positions.
The University officials are back of the team to help to the limit and Howard spirit will be received as of old.
THE PITTSBURGH COURIER
"GRIDIRON DUST" FROM SOUTHERN COLLEGES
By "Tiny Red" Walker
Well, dear reader, here we are in the "land of sunshine" listening to the tramp of cleated feet as they circle around the gridiron over courses designated by the "chefs"—coaches; listening to the thud of the course; watching the furious tackle by the over-anxious novice; watching the husky squads as they go through callisticne procedure, loosening up muscles that have been inactive during the summer vacation; and last but not least, sneaking into blackboard practice, out the fundamentals of pligskin art, and teach their men what football means.
Southern college campuses are scenes of busy activities this week—and why? Well, only one more week remains before the whistle will blow, denoting that the grid season has begun. The college, although next Saturday's encounters will be practice games from the public's point of view, they will mean a great ideal to the coaches who will take advantage of the three in-person games their machines and get a line on the new material.
Work has been going along at a rapid rate among theanta college coaches. H. H. Manshouse, has had his squaw working hard in eager anticipation of their first game. Over at Morris
Lincoln To Open Season Against Bordentown Oct.6
Graduate Manager Alex-ander Announces That Arrangements for "Classic" Are Under Way.
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa., Sept. 27.—All details for the present football season have been completed and Coach Young has the big task of developing the "Home" and Cubs are the important part they are in perform in order that the plans arranged may be carried out successfully.
The schedule for the season is as follows:
October 6, Bordentown at Lincoln; October 13, Harrisburg "Y" at Harrisburg; October 20, Morgan College at Baltimore; October 27, West Virginia at Charleston, W.V.; November 10, St. Paul at Birmingham; November 19, Shaw at Norfolk; November 29 (Thanksgiving Day) Howard at Philadelphia. (National League Park)
Those who criticized Lincoln last year for her schedule will have a sample cause for more criticism this year, for the schedule is certainly a "heavy" one. Institute, Hampton, St. Paul, Shaw and Howard will certainly afford enough "meat" for the Lions to rest on and Coach "Lissy" Young will need to be a master dentist and doctor, too, in order to prepare the teeth and digestion of the "Jungalene" such a sumptuous but beautiful diet. The more important changes in the schedule will be the games with Hampton at Baltimore and Shaw at Norfolk.
Graduate Manager Dr. W. G. Alexander has completed all arrangements for "The Football Classic of the Season"—the Howard-Lincoln game. The game will be played in Philadelphia at the National Park and Peek-a-Boo Park. The game is very near the North Philadelphia station and is therefore very convenient to out-town folks, who arrive near game time and wish to leave soon after the game. Prices for admission will be on the same scale as heretofore, viz: Front row boxes $2 per seat; rear row boxes $1.50 per seat; Grandstand seats $1.00. Seats will be on sale when held in the office of the Graduate Manager Dr. W. G. Alexander, 279 Bank St., Newark, N.J.
Brown, Coach Addison has been whipping his men into condition for their first encounter next Saturday with Haines Institute. Work is progressing out at Clarke, while at Atlanta Coach Alken had his squad under strenuous fire all the week. The team had hard even before the opening day of school and with the arrival of the old guard on Monday a fast-snappy practice was instituted, which will be the order of work until the season closes, with J. C. McMorris in charge of the backfield, and J. A. McMorris in charge of the Coach Alken will he well supplied with a real and capable assisting staff. The Crimson and Gray eleven have before it the hardest year in the history of the institution in athletics and no stone is being left unturned in the fight to turn out an championship eleven. The Crimson arrive will begin the season with Knox Institute next Saturday.
While on board a staircase, outside the three-stile limit, I heard an old veteran of the salt water spring the following yarn: "There was once a guy who drank an enormous amount of the now prohibited, more than 30 pounds of salt water. He looked at himself one day and seriously said, 'I drink so much apple cider until I can see apple trees springing out from the crown of my head.'" Now I thought that was a good one, but imagining my companion coming back with a similar retort to the effect that he knew a football coach game so often until he son returned the oval shape of a football. And he declares he can point us to the man in question.
Let us hope that the Thanksgiving struggle between Tuskegee and Talladega will get under way this year in Ridgewood park in Birmingham. It will pay, and besides that that athlete arouse the dormant athletic spirit to practice peacefully in a number of individuals' breasts. Far too many of our interesting and worth while classics are not given the publicity and support they deserve. Oh, yes, it costs money alright, but do you think it would make much money? And "IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE?" Along with others we believe that there is no better way of advertising a school than through its athletics and it is really a happy occasion when we learn the fact that tends toward the bettering of athletics in Southern colleges.
What's more pleasing than to see groups of students gathered about college campuses discussing the possibilities of their various athletic teams? It denotes school spirit, does it matter that spiziz is present in every school corner of Diamond Hill, upon which Atlanta University stands. Every student has the college spirit and the crisp autumn breezes inform them that are a few more days and they will be on the sidelines cheering heartily for the Crismon Hurricane to bring home victory to dear Alma Mater.
The Tuskegee Tiger threatens to come out from his lair this year and go on a victorious rampage.
Jefferson Is Used at End By Roberts
WAYNESBURG, Sept. . . 27-
Coach Roberts is giving the Waynesburg college squad a short scrimage each afternoon this week, although much of the time is being used in running signals and Washington boy, who played the tackle position so well last year has been shifted to the end position. End material is not plentiful and Roberts is trying Jefferson out. "Beans" was sent into the scrimage today with Suano, the Uni-
versity's assistant coach. Left Jef's work showed up so well that it may be that he will be kept at that position.

The tentative varsity outfit annihilated the second team in their fray last week, when the latter successfully impersonated the Seminary boys. *Straight*, hard-football was the team; which played perfectly the style of football characteristic of the Lynchburgers.
The boys have been carefully drilled in all the fundamentals of football, and the rules of the oval game. The offensive work of the entire squad is excellent. Next week will be devoted mainly to defensive plays. Coach Douglas has definitely decided not to name the team to start against Seminole until a new season.

President Coolidge Must Make Good
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 27.—Last week Postmaster Harry S. New came to the Indiana capitol and issued a statement very much like he did as senator, assuring the people that it would be President Coolidge in 1924, just as he early prophesied the nomination of the late President Harding in 1920.
Close on this statement came the same word from Indiana's senior Senator, James E. Watson, whodeparts somewhat from his usual policy of watching and waiting by corroborating his erstwhile political opponent.
The "bosses" of Indiana would do well to call in a few colored citizens from the 200,000 voters in the Hoosier State if they hope for support of their own personal selections.
Sectetary Ed. Jackson, the only state officer who has colored clerks and stenographers in his office, looks like the most formidable, gubernatorial candidate who has a genuine chance of carrying the Republican colors to victory in 1924. We advise some other office holders and aspirants to not forget the 200,000 colored voters.

Make Yourself
More Attractive
USE QUINADE
No other single factor contributes so much to personal charm and attractiveness as beautiful hair. Seeby's Quinade will help to beautify and improve the hair. It will soften barsh, kinky hair, making it easier to put up in any style its length will permit.
Quinade is a medicated pomade, scientifically compounded by an experienced pharmacist. It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and roots of the hair, and which are calculated to encourage its growth.
To get best results from the use of Quinade, the scalp should be washed regularly with Quinasoap, the ideal shampoo. Seeby's Quinasoap is made with a pure vegetable oil base and produces a rich, creamy father, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and buffy and imparts refreshing feeling to the scalp, unequalized in other shampoos.
Insist on getting Seby's Quinade and Quinasoap, making for them by the full name. If unable to obtain them at your druggist's or dealer's mail us the price—Quinade 35c, Quinasoap 25c—and we will send them to you postpaid. Seeby Drug Co., Rawson street and Queen boulevard. Long Island City, N. Y.

Wanted His Discount
A train in the Wild West was held up by bandits, who ordered the passengers to give up their money. One of the victors was beaten and his turn came he reluctantly drew $300 from his coat and, taking $6, returned it to his pocket.
"What do you mean by that?" asked the bandit.
"Surely," answered the Jew, "you don't mind me taking a two per cent discount on a cash transaction?"

A gentleman farmer had a friend out to look the place over. After inspecting the bloodied stock, tractors and one thing and another, they came to a small incised cornfield.

"Flapper corn?" I never heard of that. "Is it something new?"
"No. I had it last year. That is when I gave it the name."
"And why do you call it flapper corn?"

Ninth Installment
A. S.YOU justly observed, sir, the white man's government has been a matter of evolution. The nucleus was passed away with time. Consider the painful evolution of the British government, undoubtedly the most stable and best functioning one today. Well, the Britons, after four hundred and sixty-four years of Roman rule, relapsed into barbarism when Rome left them to govern themselves. Lang says that the Picts and Daliridic Scots after driving out the English fell into a quadrangular warfare among themselves. Doesn't this sound like the case of Mexico and Haiti a few years ago?
"But these countries have the examples of the best governed countries to go by."
*Studies in the Psychology of Sex* (Vol. 3) after giving two convincing
"Well, so had the Britons," replied Dixon warmly. "It was not until the reign of Edward III that England began to have a settled government. And it took infusion after infusion of superior civilization, Gascons—to make that government. It was not until the beginning of Victoria's reign that the British Government was firmly established—fully 2,000 years after the landing of Julius Caesar. Government of England was the process of evolution. As mankind through all the ages appears ever the same state of the less developed peoples affords the more highly developed ones a fine opportunity to observe the stages through which the people must maner that the old man by watching the growing child can see himself again. England, as you will recall, had civil war after civil war, one of which, the War of the Rosos, lasted for 30 years. The Negro play came on the stage, and will very likely play it again. when he is gone. Apart from old Egypt there have been several successful Negro governments like Timbutoo, Songhay, Sudan and Uganda. The last thrived for more than five centuries and well into the present British. When Speke discovered Uganda he said that the people had developed a high state of civilization, and 'Chinese' Gordon speaks cordially of the fine government of King Queen, Stanley in Ireland, speaking of King Mesei, cays, says: "The most courtly European could not have excelled the Uganda Premier."
The Senator made no immediate reply. He was ambitious to find some bad trait peculiar to black men. His mind ran over the conventional list. First he thought of rape, but he thought of black men. Bible history in that record had been committed by white men. He had also sat on juries where white men had been sentenced for this crime. He also remembered the treatment that Negro women had received at the hands of white men. He also remembered the treatment to bring up this question. His opponent, he felt, had been too skilful in finding parallels between white and black.
He next thought of the question of mendacity: White men were not always truthful, either. He thought of stealing, but he had several business adventures and, he had to acknowledge that white men were princes in comparison to common people. He humiliated sexual immorality. Here he hesitated as thoughts of the mulatto came into his mind; divisions of the big city's Tenderloin districts flushed before him, as well as the statistics of illegitimacy among whites. But having heard so often that Negroes were more immoral than whites, he spearheaded the immorality. Strike out boldly, he said: "The highest sign of the culture of a race is the control that race exercises over the animal passions by the sheer power of its intelligence, isn't it?"
"Yes," replied Dixon. "True culture is built upon a certain measure of restraint, that is, a cultured man remembers that, after his feelings like himself. Because he has individual or racial, religious or national."
"I said animal passions."
"In't egotism an animal passion? What is more egotistic than a hog or a cat, except certain human beings?"
"Very well, then; I meant sexual passions. The white race is immeasurably superior in that respect. The Negro has a monkey, in fact, he is non-moral." And he went on at some length to tell of his experiences.
"Oh, you were thinking of sexual morality and I of ethical. But here also it is impossible to make any assertion as to the sexual morals of any people with any degree of accuracy. Negroes hold, too, quite as had an opinion of Caucasian morality. I have seen on sleeping cars and in hotels incidents among the whites similar to what you have told me. Our nearest guide in this matter must be biologists of unpredicated scientists. And before I any further I want to remind you that you said Negroes were non-moral, as I shall come to that later.
"I said animal passions."
*Studies in the Psychology of Sex* (Vol. 3) after giving two convincing reasons in favor of 'the so-called savage goes on to say: It is a common notion that the Negro and the Negro races of Africa are prone to sexual indulgence. This notion is the most intimate knowledge of these peoples. It probably gained currency in part from the open and expansive temperament of the Negro and in part from the extreme sexual character of many African orgies in the past. It is not the belief of so-called civilized folk that lack of colthes make for immorality. Finot says, These accusations must full before facts.*
*Mary Gaunt, in 'Alone in West Africa', says: There is not in all the length and breadth of Africa. I venture to swear, one-quarter of the unutterable misery and vice you may see any day in the streets in London or any great city of the world. That is the truth that has not its own system of morality and its own that it is carried out.*
The Senator did not reply Sixon continued: "I have another quotation from Havelock Ellis, as follows: 'The importance, even sacredness, of procreation, if much less than by civilized peoples, and also a certain symbolic significance is attached to human procreation; as related to natural fruitfulness generally, so that a primitive orgy, instead of being a mere manifestation of consciousness, may have a ritual significance." "But that does not mean the Negro in the United States," objected the Senator, "because we me that the Negro is not far more lustful than the Anglo-Saxon. The Negro's lustfulness will ever prevent his being of any consequence. Negro boys and girls learn well up to certain age but their strong instincts make them closely with the ape — will ever make them the inferior of white children."
"What you say of the morality of the Negro, is partly true, sir. But if Havelock Ellis and his supporters are right is not civilization largely responsible for this condition? The Caucasian cabinage with the colored woman for over 300 years! Wouldn't that spoil the morals of any people, how ever pure, originally?"
"Nothing ever will persuade me that the Caucasian can in any way be a slave or a black." And he went on to make a comparison between certain instances.
"I'm inclined to believe that the sex instinct is more highly developed among the whites, at least, certain classes of them. These I have in mind are individualistic and have greater difficulty in. finding their sexual mates. A great deal, if not the greatest part, is deep disinterest and lack of sensuality of white women is due to this dissatisfaction. Hence they are conscious, very conscious of sex. In addition, Havelock Ellis seems to prove that the more developed a people, the stronger the sex instinct. The Negro, again, eats less. stimulating food, works more laboriously and has less leisure than the white man. This is why the more uplifting diversions. I spoke of the middle class white, for, I believe that the very lowest type of Negro is, in this respect, superior to the recognized highest among the whites. I mean the aristocrats. These Negroes are so not because of any inherent virtue, but simply because they must use up a great amount of energy in colloid while the aristocrat has nothing to do. It is a matter of the most common knowledge that the aristocrats of all elites and all ages are the most lascivious and perverted group in any country."
"You will admit, at least, that race for race the white man has higher ideals of sexual morality than the black," said the Senator. "Yes, but you are forcing me to say what. I have been trying to avoid saying ever since you gave me the cue of non-morality!" "Well, what is that?" "You said Negroes were non-moral. On the other hand, said that the cue of non-morality. Now if the man with the high ideals acts in the same manner as the man that never was taught any morals—well? Is it necessary for me to say any more?" The plain truth is that civilized man with his higher intellectual development uses

Women Haters to Forfeit $5,000 If They Marry Within Ten Years
ROLLA. Mo., Sept. 27—One of the strangest matrimonial complexes in the history of Missouri, or of the whole Nation for that matter, has just come to light ill. the diocese here. After living together for sixteen years as husband and wife, legally wed under the laws of the church and of the State. A: H. Kattler, white, recently made the discovery of a woman whose own flesh and blood sister, Divorce followed.
The strange mixup, that has been revealed at this late day to make a mockery of their romance, occurred when they were children. When Mrs. Kattner, whose, given name is Bessie, was a liliping baby of only 4 years of age she was kidnapped. Gysies and other heroes had been separated, the child was placed with another family to raise. It was while she was with this family that she was kidnapped by the Gysies.
Migration Begins
True to the romany traditions they fied from town and continued their migration roaming all over the United States with their new charge. It was some twelve years after the kidnapping, in 1912, of the parents in Nebraska, that she was finally delivered from her captives. She might have fled long before, but she grew up not knowing she was not a real daughter of the gypsies and when she reached young womanhood they came over once over her are not marriageable girls worth money?
At the time, some twelve years after the kidnapping, Kattner was farming in Nebraska. Nearby was a girl named Gypsy, who had a daughter, Bessie. Kattler learned that Bessie was being mistreated by her father and sought to protect her. He intended to kill her. But Bessie culminating in their marriage, At

They hate woman! Three men hate women so much they have put that development to invention of forms far beyond the consciousness of primitive man." Dixon consulted his notebook a moment and said: "I have a quotation here from the Medical Review of Reviews for July, 1916. The editor, in speaking of the report of the Baltimore Vice Commission says: If the report of the Baltimore Vice Commission be made of this and whorened among the most reputable Baltimoreans—it lifts the cover from a never-ceasing cauldron of sensuality and seduction. Baltimore is a city taken in adultery. The 1,200 pages of tits report are a transcript of the white man's sexual life anywhere; a record that ought to him from criticizing other races." But Negro women are very immoral, persisted the Senator, illustrating his viewpoint with lurid examples. (To be continued next week.)
that time Kattler was 28 years old, Bessie 16.
Kattler and his bride continued to live upon his farm until three years ago they moved to Missouri, settling in the city of Chicago. They were particularly devoted to each other and there was never a rift in their happiness until a few months ago when Mr. Kattler visited Chicago and chanced to meet his father, from whom he had been separated, of man who was born in Chicago to his wife's birth Mr. Kattler went to live with an uncle, whose name he adopted. When his father and mother became separated he remained, with the uncle until he was a grown man. Thus he was not thrown in contact with his wife while he was a baby, knew not even that she had been kidnapped.
Makes Hard Decision
While Mr. Kattler "visiting his father he learned many family secrets, including that of his sister's kidnap. One disclosure led to another until Mr. Kattler was astounded to find that his wife was his own sister. Here he realized the problem of his life—a tragedy. What should he do? It was plain that it was his duty to live apart from his wife, but it was a hard thought to break up his own happiness and that of his wife, too. He never saw her return to Rolla, and after appraising his wife of his terrible discovery sought relief in the courts.
Fortunately there were no children born to the union. Before Kattler became worried about his correspondence and many photographs taken. The final chapter has just been written in the court here. Judge W. E. Burton granted an annulment and restored Mrs. Kattler's maiden name. Bessie has gone to Newbury. Mo. there she has obtained employment.

And if there is any little lady in their home town, New York City, or any other place, who thinks her charms are irresistible, let her try them out on these three. They're so sure they can look her right in the eye without a heart flutter that they have a large bank roll and a document with a red seal to back them. They've made a contract with each to remain bachelors for ten years. And each has put up a cash bond to be forfeited to the others in case of a sudden attack of matrimony.

"It iture is tough," sighed one. "Not at all," replied another. "It's freedom." "Yes," said William Glason. "but we sure have a lot to learn about women."
So they pledged themselves to remain bachelors for ten years to study the proposition.

COFFINS NOW COME IN JAZZ COLORS
Craze for Gay Caskets Spreads Throught the East
NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 27—Local undertakers report that the craze for gay caskets is spreading throughout the East. A manufacturing company that put out red, green, blue and yellow caskets, to replace the more subdued colors in coffins, is said to have made a business "hit" out of these caskets, but out of style, local morticians state, but gray, either in steel or silver hue, seems to be holding its own with the gayer, or so-called "jazz" style, especially among the very rich patrons. Occasionally a lavender colored casket is demanded by the gayer. The craze for jazz caskets, according to the undertakers, is more evident among the "gay dancing class," some of whose members may have "danced themselves into the grave." Anyway, undertakers are upfitting from the theatrical managers, according to one of the former.
"We belive in giving the public what it wants," he said, as he adored his chinny high hat to answer a death call.

With this and other contributing agencies a few of the stiff-necked colored people began to see the reason a woman of my program had they were firm in refusing to be known as Negroes. Furthermore, I was a black man and therefore had a absolutely not right to lead, in the opinion of the "colored" element, leaders who should have been in the hands of a yellow or a very light man. On such films prejudices our race has been retarded. There is more bitterness among us Negroes because of the caste of color than there is between any other peoples, not excluding the people of India.
I succeeded to a great extent in establishing the association in Jamaica with the assistance of a Catholic Bishop, the Governor, Sir John Bishop, the William Graham a Scottish clergyman and other white friends. I got in touch with Bocker Washington and told him what I wanted to do. He invited me to America and promised to speak with me in the Southern and other States to help work. All the States to help Fall in love made my arrangements and arrived in the United States on March 23, 1916.
Here I found a new and different problem. I immediately visited some of the then so-called Negro leaders, only to discover, after a close study of them, that they held no program, but were mere opportunists, people who were leaving off their so-called leadership while the people were grouping in the dark. I traveled through thirty-eight States and everywhere found the same condition. I visited Tuskegee and paid my respects to the dead hero, Booker Washington, and then returned to New York, where I met the New York division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. After instructing the people in the aims and returning to the association, I intended returning to Jamaica to perfect the Jamaica organization, but when we had enrolled about 800 students, the students were trist and had elected the officers if few Negro politicians began trying to turn the movement into a political club.
Political Faction Eight
Seeing that these politicians were about to destroy my ideals, I had to fight to get them out of the organization. There it was that I made my first political enemies in Harlem. They fought me until they smashed the first organization and reduced its membership to about fifteen percent of the months built up a new organization of about 1,500 members. Again the politicians came and divided us into two factions. They took away all the books of the organization, its treasury and all its belongings. At that time I was only an organizer, for it was not then my intention to emancipate an inmate in the Jamaica. The organization had its proper officers elected, and I was not an officer of the New York division, but President of the Jamaica branch.
On the second split in Harlem 18 of the members conferred with me and requested me to become President for a time of the New York organization so as to save them from the politicians. I consented and was elected President. There then sprung up two factions, one left by the politicians with the books and the money, and my faction had no money. I placed at their disposal what money I had, opened an office for them rented a meeting place, employed two women secretaries, went on the streets of Harlem at night to speak (Continued on Page 15, Col. 24).

Two New Theaters For Louisville, Ky.
According to advance announcements given front page space in the Louisville papers that city is to have two new theaters before the opening of another season. Both will be owned by Negro corporations. Concerns already established and of substantial financial standing are behind the projects. The Mammoth Realty Company has purchased property upon which they will erect a six-story building that will provide space for offices, apartments and a theater of sufficient size, and with equipment that will permit the display of the biggest and showiest available. The Domestic Life Insurance Company has purchased a new home office building at Sixth and Walnut Sis. The alterations in the structure contemplate arranging space for the First Standard bank and a film theater on the ground floor, and the company offices on the upper stories.
These with the existing Lincoln and Palace theaters, playing respectively vaudeville and pictures, will make available to Louisville all the forms of current amusement. The ownership of the established houses is also vested in race people.

Canadian Citizen Tells Of Impression 'Shuffle Along'MadeinDominion
When Joe Simms Sang "If You've Never Been Vamped by a Brownskin," the Show Was Voted a Success—Sissle, Blake and Chorus Praised.
Robert P. Edwards, the Canadian representative of the Associated Negro Press, sent a description of the reception accorded to the original "Shuffle Along" company by the Canadians, when the company played the city during the week of the Great Toronto Fair. His story, which went to over a hundred news-punners is, in part, as follows:
When Joe Simms sang, "If You've Never Been Vamped by a Brown-Skin, You've Never Been Vamped at All," on the first night when "Shuffle Along," starring Sissle and Blake, opened at the Royal Alexandrin. Canada's premier theatre, recently, he sung i parable. For the 60 odd brown-skinned flexible voice singers and versatile dancers, in gorgeous costumes, set in the most lavish and original scenery that ever graced a Canadian stage so completely vamped the exacting patrons of this famous playhouse they hundreds were turned into, thereby, the most beautiful dancers were inaugurated to persuade the management to lengthen their stay. As it was, the usually reserved patrons were so enthusiastic that they ignored all the time limits to curtain calls, and held the show until 11:30 nightly.
Needless to say, that the swelled chests, (and heads, too), glaring eyes and smiling faces of the sons and daughters of Ham bespoke their pride in the performers, whose skin and hair was like ours. And the Elites (as Bert Williams used to say) hurriedly wended their way to the Royal Alex, to make inroads on the box office to get second and third glimpses of these annihilators of the Ku Klux.
Bubie Blake was recognized early and despite his coolness and calmness the audience became hilarious, as wielding his baton with one hand and tickling the ivories with the other, he brought forth such music—well such music—and from SOME ORCHESTRA. Noble Sissle, who tried to hide behind a minor part, was compelled to come out, and he came, giving a few local stunts, closing with a recitation on "The Boys on the Trenches" and the audience west wild.
Elections is. where Canadians shine, and the show struck home at once, as the humorous campaign between dunks and Peck (alias Bayton & Sims) partner in the JimTown Grocery Store, was carried on before their eyes, from Jim Williams' Hotel to Possum Lane, Calico corners, and Spencer's Lane, to the Mayor's Office.
Everybody who comes on in this big Dixie hit, as Toronto journalism describes it, is unsparing in his or her efforts to add something to the sum total of vigor in the piece. The girls responded to numerous curtain calls, but they couldn't appease the Canuck's desire: for more. Miss Spencer and Mr. Browning sought to soothe the audience with "Love Will Find a Way," which was remarkably rendered, but in "Bandanna Days" the willy Canuck was carried away by the jazziest offering that ever crossed the Lakes.
The Syncapated Stenos are the most Jazziest of Typists, and many a staid Canadian businessman expressed a desire to them. Extra speed was added to the show by the lightning-footed Traffic Cop of Jintown.
When the curtain fell for the last time, it left the exacting Toronto society folk asking for more. Said the Africananadian, "If you've never been vamped by brownskins—You needn't finish, replied the Caucanadian, "I save and am,"—Robert P. Edwards.

Sidney Rink, the animal trainer, wrote the following from
Franklin, Neb., on Sept. 6:
"I am dropping you a line to thank you for the nice write-up. It helped me exactly forty per cent financially. This is the best-season I have ever had, besides that I have become better known to more showmen than in the whole 45 years of my stay in the business. Due to those stories, the moment I hit a fair grounds, the secretary and committeemen know me."
Frank Gilmore, the playwright, publicist and promoter, is now handling the publicity for the Kendrick-Dickerson political campaign in Philadelphia. One of his stunts was the release of an eight-page pictorial section with the Philadelphia Public Journal of Sept. 15, that was a most interestingly gotten up job. Theatrical artists were pictured to enliven the interest, while municipal employees, and party workers constituted the big message. Nige stuff, Frank.
Wm. H. Tucker, now residing at 20 Garden St. Boston, Mass., was a New York visitor for ten days. He sports a big button of the C. V. B. A. that has been his since the days when he was with Primrose and West, the Female Drummer, and other shows of years ago. His presence was taken as an occasion for a reunion of old-timers from behind "Dad Loves Stove," as the Chicago rendezvous was known, and for the revival of stories of New Orleans hospitality as known to Bob and Jim Slater, and some more of the "Ne-Yawkins" boys.
Licutenant Gassella T. Ayres promptly upon becoming the presiding official of the Columbus, Ohio, Corner for the Deacons Club, began aching for a chance to make a demonstration. Along came Wendall Talbert and eDacons Austin with the "Plantation Days" show week of Sept. 10, who provided the excuse for Columbus corner to get on the map—and, boys, they crawled way up to a prominent spot with a ring around it. It's a lucky Deacon that is booked to that town, new.
We hate to spread gossip, but you just must know what H. D. Carney, the agent ahead of the Alabama Minstrels, says about our Shreveport correspondent, Wesley Varnell. He says, in part, that "Varnell is well liked by local business people and the showfolks. He is the manager of a hundred thousand dollar poster business for the Seamans' Shreveport Advertising Company,
Jesse Shipp, Producing Genius of Williams and Walker Show,to go on Road
Director Who Made Comedians Famous to Travel as Partner With Tutt and Whitney
Jesse Shipp, the producing genius, who is responsible for the construction of the series of shows that made Williams and Walker famous, the director who declined the highest salary that at that time had been tendered a stage director in England from the country's wealthiest producing manager, rather than desert colored show business, is again in harness preparing to go "on the road."
that their new show held for them, the call of the road, or perhaps the sense of loneliness that pervaded his heart since the loss of his son, an energetic young man of whom he was inordinately proud; can not be told.
The fact remains, however, that he has become a partner with Homer Tutt, Salem Tutt Whitney and John T. Gibson, the theatrical financial genius, in the new Smarter set.
Some years since Jesse abandoned travel. He could well afford to with his business investments in New York, and the frequency with which he was called upon to either produce or revise big White Broadway shows. Then, too, he was interested in the progress of the Dressing Room Club, of which he is president. Few thought he would ever travel again.
Whether it was the seductiveness of the Whitney brothers, the appeal and the accepted authority around the Saenger Amusement Company's theater. I have known him since he was a bit of youngster trying to post bills for the Tibble Poster Company on the ears of jack rabbits in the country districts. He was once the advance agent for a circus, the first colored man I ever know to be so employed. He is a fine example of what attention to business will do." Now isn't that real news?
Ross, the trombone player with the Snap Brothers shows, and Honey Boy, an acrobatic dancer with the same outfit, are deserving of special mention, according to Sidney Rink, who visited the show n in Aberdeen, S. D. The old animal-man says that this show is "swell, clean and has a good minstrel."
Slim Thompson, the tall dancer, has been signed up by Henry Dixon, for the "Jig Time" company on the Columbia Burlesque circuit.
Louise Nelson, Pearl Moppin, Rastus Adams and Lasses Brown are the performers featured in the advertising copy and the billing of the Alabama Minstrels.
On Sept. 24, Miss Allbriton, a soprano, and Mr. Parham, heretofore known for his ability as an organist, but now appearing as a tenor, made their joint appearance at Jordon Hall at the first of a series of concerts.
The Capitol City and the Williams lodges of Elks, of Richmond, with their hands, presented their annual Sunday concert at the Friends Orphan Asylum in the Virginia capitol on Sept. 9. The proceeds of these constitute the anterled fellows' contribution to the Asylum.
Alphonso, the out-door showman, closed his Coney Island, N. Y., attraction on Sept. 16, after a successful season. While he is considering some offers for fair dates in the south, it seems that he is more likely to spend some oodles of dollars, a bit of time on self-enforcement that may include a visit Philadelphia and Boston. Of course, if anybody should point out an alluring spot, its dollars to doughnuts, that Alphonso would promptly forget himself and begin selling entertainment, for he sure likes to make money.
Everett Robbins, formerly with the Mame Smith Jazz Hounds, has his own "Five, Robbins" at the "Blue Chip" on Blue-Mound and Hawley roads in Milwaukee. The group has been there for nearly a year, and the versatile writer of "It's Nobody's Business If I Do," is very much gratified with the reputation his band has made.
Eddie Hunter, the "How Come" star, made a hurried visit to New York to do some recording on Sept. 17.
Flormy Miller and Marion Cook, of "Running Wild," motored from Boston to New York to spend Sunday, Sept. 16. The show is doing a great business at the Selwyn Theater in the Hub City.
On Sept. 15, Charles will leave the Bahamas for New York, after a most successful ten weeks in the Islands. While in the Eulethra Island, Prof. Bartlett and Dr. Knight entertained Charles and his company. The show will make another trip-over the same route soon.
Maharajah is in New England with the Lew DuFour shows. He is in Brockton, Mass., this week. As usual, he is out digging up race news for the Page, for the magician is one of our best fans.

Agricultural and Industrial Fair Is Held in Norfolk
An Editorial Worth Reprinting
This week the Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair is being held. Fairs are something more than carnivals or mere mediums for outdoor entertainment. They are educational and reflect the progress of the people. The United States Government recognizes in them one of the best mediums for disseminating valuable information on disease prevention for man and beast; the advancement of crop cultivation and the progress in domestic art; the growth in discoveries and inventions and encourages the conducting of them in all localities.
A day spent attending the fair should be of much gain to the farmer and his family, to the professional and business man, and to the masses of the people. To be keenly alive to the progress that others have made in their lines of human effort is one sure way to measure our own shortcomings and be able to set for ourselves higher standards.
Then the fair, although under the direct management of a few persons, is a community effort, and by its success or failure the whole community is measured. If we are to take advantage of the wonderful advertising possibilities the fair affords for our city, we must consider it a community enterprise and make it a success through our attendance and enthusiasm. Our citizens are making worth while efforts to get Norfolk before the world and their efforts are bearing fruit. Whatever industries come here through their effort will of course, meet the people. We need to keep the business people of our race the opportunities and possibilities for progress. They must know that we are alive and hustling people, if we are to attract some of their business.
When this paper gets in the hands of its Norfolk readers, there will yet be time to make the fair a crowning success. And it is our civic duty to make it successful, regardless of who has the direct management of the event—An excellent, constructive and progressive editorial from the Norfolk Journal and Guide, that reflects the growing recognition of the more than sixty-colored faira in the country.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 27.—Rev. John Howard Lever, formerly of Detroit and now rector of the Church of the Advocate, Eighteenth and Diamond streets, startled his congregation last Sunday by delivering a sermon aimed to arouse city council to establish race segregation throughout the city. The sermon explained all his reasons and especially stipulated that this did not apply to the Negroes only, but to Jews and every other race present in considerable numbers.
"The sermon began with an explanation that the rector's views could be confounded with those of the Ku Klux Klan, which he said, exemplified race prejudice at its "ugliest add worst."
"There are ignorant and narrow-minded people, who think those different from themselves are morally wrong and that it is necessary to harass them out with physical violence," he said. "Of such the Ku Klux Klan composed. But I have nothing to do with race prejudice. I am an exponent of race consciousness, just as was Christ when He said, 'Go into the way of the Gentiles and into any city of the Samaritans enter yet not. But go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.'" It was this text upon which he based his sermon.
He then directed his remarks to the Jews. He said he saw in them many admirable qualities, strength, virility, alertness and intelligence, which he later added are considerably overrated.
Against these he contrasted what Mob Battles I Beating Man

Then, he considered the Negroes; said they are insisting more and more upon living with the white, and added that that would be unfair to both races. He maintained any mixing would result in the loss of the culture it has taken man so long to acquire:
"I am extremely tired of hearing that segregation and zoning are unAmerican," he said. "If the principles of American democracy compelled mixing there would be dangerous friction constantly engendered. As long as I allow others as good parts of the city as I want myself, there is no reason why my race and kind cannot live by themselves.
"I hope City Council will stop dilly-dallying and face their problem honestly and fearlessly, being moved neither by great financial interests nor threats, of demagogues, but because the welfare of the city depends on it. We have a law, law. Not so which applies to business building and factories, but one applying to permissible types of dwellings and races of people to live in them. Each race of any considerable number should have its own section to live its own life, yet with plenty of contact with the other races.
"There are now in this city constant dangers of race trouble and all the elements of race riots, which, the ultimate effect, degenerate the city."

Children To Give Big Band Concert
Children To Give Big Band Concert
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 27.—An unusual feature of the early fall musical season at the Academy of Music will be a concert on October 4th by the celebrated juvenile band of the Jenkins Orphanage of Charleston, S. C. The band is composed of sixty children, ranging in age from 5 to 10 years. Similar bands have been sent throughout this country and Canada during the last twenty years giving concerts in almost every principal city. One band occupied a conspicuous place in President Taft's inaugural parade. Another played at the St. Louis Exposition and also at the Anglo-American Exposition in London. The present organization is directed by a 9-year-old boy, Captain Cracka-a-Jack, and another lad of the same age, Captain Leon Bowman. These children have been said by many many critics to have the technique and musical skill of persons many years their senior. One of the high lights of their concert at the Academy will be a drum major contest between Captains Cracka-a-Jack and Bowman, and another will be a girls' jubilee quartet, four children of the ages of 5 and 6, who will sing old plantation melodies.
The proceeds of the entertainment will be given to further the work of the orphanage, which affords a free home for children from one year up to 18. They are given a regular schooling and also trained in trades, crafts, nursing and housework. Most of the children are taken from reform schools and similar institutions.

Starting a Movement in Opposition to Negroes Who Do Not Want to Be Negroes—Urges Country for Black Man.

for the movement. In three weeks more than 2,000 new members joined. By this time I had the association incorporated so as to prevent the other faction using the name but in two weeks the politicians had stolen all the people's money and had smashed up their faction
The organization under my presidency grew by leaps and bounds. I started The Negro World. Being a journalist, I edited this paper free of cost for the association, and worked for them without pay until November, 1920. I traveled all over the country for the association at my own expense, and established branches until in 1919 we had about thirty branches in different cities. By my writings and speeches we were able to build up a large organization of over 2,000,000 by June, 1918, at which time we launched the program, of the Black Star Line.
To have built up a new organization, which was not-purely political, among Negroes in America was a wonderful feat, for the Negro politician does not allow any other kind of organization within his race to thrive. We succeeded, however, in making the Universal Negro Improvement Association so formidable in 1919 that we encountered more trouble from our political brethren. They sought the influence of the District. Attorney's office of the County of New York to put us out of business. Edwin P. Kilroe, at that time an Assistant District Attorney, on the complaint of the Negro politicians, started to investigate us and the association. Mr. Kilroe would constantly and continuously call me to his office for investigation on extraneous matters without coming to the point. The result was that after the eighth or ninth time I wrote an article in our newspaper, The Negro World, against him. This was interpreted as criminal jibel, for which I was indicted and arrested, but subsequently dismissed on retracting what I had written.
During my many tilts with Mr. Kilroe, the question of the Black Star Line was discussed. He did not want us to have a line of ships. I told him that even as there was a White Star Line, we would have, irrespective of his wishes, a Black Star Line. On June 27, 1919, we incorporated the Black Star Line of Delaware, and in September we obtained a ship. (To Be Concluded 'Next Week)
Race Finds No Real Freedom In The South
Migration of Negroes to a Country of Their Own Is Solution Suggested by Southern Authority. (Continued From Page 9)
But what of that increasing number of Negroes who are not the white man's Negroes, and what of the widening gulf between races? Has the situation improved since the return of Negro soldiers in khaki from France, where the black man from Algeria was a favorite of the Parisian drawing rooms, a recipient of the voluptuous white woman's favors? Did Siki's victory over Carpenter give a new turn to the race question, as The Boston Herald asserts? Is it true, as literature of "new Negro" type declares, that race war and revolution must presently follow if conditions continue and race segregation be insisted upon? Perhaps not. But so The Crisis is teaching and one reads in "The Souls of the Black Folks," "The Voice of the Negro," "Dark Water," "The Blank Dispatch," and like publications. The Negro Leekey thinks that race separation and distinctions are a spiritual lynching and that the Negro must feel that he is a cursed, knee-bending slave, bound and shackled by laws and customs made for slaves. And the "new Negro's" call to battle, how clear it is. Let us hear it:
Oh! kinsman we must meet the common foe;
Though far outnumbered, let us
will be brave;
still be bleed,
And for their bleed blows, deal
blow blow.
Like men we'll face the cowardly, murderous pack.
Pressed to the wall—dying —but fighting back. (To Be Concluded Next Week)

Golden Shield Lodge No. 69, F. & A.

Jericho has the two midgets, Watson and Jones, very young in the fraternity, but able to render a good account of their stewardship and always pleased when working. Brother John Gunn, of 4802 Columbus street, has been confined to his room for several days under care of a doctor. He is a member of Jericho Lodge No. 20, Menelick Chapter No. 29 and Malta Commandery No. 19.
Brother Joshua Lincoln, of 5644 Kirkwood street, is now in the St. Francis Hospital suffering from a stroke that affected his right side. He has been in the hospital for a week. A faithful member of Golden Shield Lodge No. 69, and treasurer of the same, a member of Menelick Chapter No. 29 and Malta Commandery No. 19. Brethren, let the sick smell the sweet odor of the flowers you have to give while they are living. Flowers look nice upon the casket or around the room, but in such cases it is too late for the patient to enjoy the sweet smelling odors. Take notice and be governed accordingly.
The Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. M. of Virginia met at Bristol, Va. from the 19th to the 21st. A special Pullman passed through the city with the following: Wilson F. Foreman. of Norfolk, Va. Past Grand Master; Rev. S. M. Morris, of Norfolk, Senior Grand Warden; Rev. L. L. Berry, Portsmouth, Va.; Mr. A. W. Shirely, of Washington; Mrs. L. M. Bright and J. M.

Wright, of Portsmouth, Va. They held their 49th annual convention. They report a grand meeting of the Masons.
A. J. Lewis, a prominent fraternal man, of Shetland avenue, E. E., has been appointed brigadier general on his staff. I know this will be quite a surprise to his many friends who feel that the honor conferred is a worthy one. This is the first appointment of the kind that has been given to this city. Pennsylvania can now boast of two that have been recently appointed in the person of Mr. Lewis and Gen. Charles Polk, the well-known Philadelphiaian. "A.J," deserves any honor that could be bestowed upon him as he is a hard worker in the ranks. He is efficient as well as courteous and will add much to the general deportment of the staff to which he has been honored. The Courier congratulates you, General.
North Side Lodge No. 124 initiated 35 members into the mysteries of Elkidom last week. Uncle Jess Harris, of 919 Wylie avenue, states, "What it takes to make real Elks, I have."

If we are but held up our hands for the one we have and not continually knock him, we would be far better off, for I do not believe that there is one man who is an aspirant for that high honor, would take the time or spend the money trying to make a show for this end of the state that the present incumbent has.

At last the Grand Lodge of I. B. P. O. E. of W., has consented to buy a National Home for its indigent. I have, from time to time, through these columns, urged the purchasing of such a home, so at last, they have consented to buy. I knew that if continued dissension through these columns dedicated to the enhancement of that particular course, would some day take root. So we all should thank the Almighty, who is ruler of all things, that my plea did not fall on deaf ears. I do not know where the home will be located, but I do know that the proposition offered by the Bozarth Company in Egg Harbor, N. J., would make an ideal place for the home, and if $16,000 can lead the place, it would be far better than spending thousands of dollars buying some unimproved land, and some cost, some indulgent house too small to entertain even a few. I felt, headed by such men as J. Finley Wilson, G. E. R., and Major R. R. Jackson, Chairman of the Home Board that my appeal would some day result in facts. I commend those brothers who voted for the buying of such home for such a worthy cause, as blessed; may they live long to enjoy the fruits of such a humane act. And may they be re-elected next year to further consummate their work.

Johnstown Offers South Propaganda
HE Atlanta Constitution, under date of September 16, carried a telegram from President J. S. Wannamaker, of the American Cotton Association, to the governor of Pennsylvania, touching the recent edict of the Johnstown mayor who ordered Negroes and Mexicans out of town: The telegram serves a dual purpose for the South. It ought to no of value to the North.
In the first place, the telegram shows the North that it is not the custom nor practice of the South to order all Negroes of a given community to leave the state because one or two Negroes violate the law. This is very significant, coming from the section of the country where lawlessness is supposed to have had its birth. The telegram follows:
We note the attitude of white citizens and the municipality of Johnstown, Pa., toward the Negro race as shown in press statements. All law-abiding, industrious Negroes are welcomed anywhere in the South and will be given immediate employment in cotton fields and on farms where their services are badly needed. The South does not approve of the legal or illegal holding of a community of Negroes responsible for unlawful acts of an individual Negro as appears to be the case at Johnstown. Race hatred and race riots in the South have been rare and of extremely limited and isolated instances since emancipation. There is no recorded instances in the South of legally attempting to disband and drive out a community of Negroes engaged in lawful and industrial pursuits of life. The two races have lived in peace and harmony where the laws are respected and industry pursued.
```markdown
```
In the second place, the telegram reminds the North that the South is bidding for Negro labor. President Wannamaker makes it very plain in his message that Negro labor is very badly needed in the cotton fields of the South, and elsewhere on the farms. It ought to be remembered that the South has never worked at hard labor in its whole life. The South does not propose now to begin soiling its hands, if the Negro can be induced to follow the plow, pick the cotton and fight the growing grass in the fields.
The Johnstown incident has served the South in excellent stead. Negroes are reading in newspapers that the South is offering plenty of work, better treatment and a welcome to return, with no promises of punishment for their temporary straying into "strange lands." Of course, a few Negroes will return to the South—a very few. But the Johnstown incident has furnished the South with excellent material for argument, and to say that the South is using the "advice of the Johnstown mayor" as convenient propaganda is putting it mildly.
The only answer the North can give is an instant repudiation of the Mayor of Johnstown and his ilk. Some definite action must be taken to place the Johnstown incident among the "extreme exceptions" to be found in any community. The election on the 18th instant, when the Mayor of Johnstown was defeated at the polls by the citizens of the town, indicates that the man stands alone in his logical attitude; and not only does he stand alone, but his action is repudiated by the vote of the people.
One Johnstownner will not serve to drive all Negroes back to the South. One swallow does not make a summer. But the telegram of President Wannamaker is information in the world that there is lively bidding for Negro labor. May the laborer go to the highest and best bidder. And all the while the bidders cry, the Negro should devote himself to sober thought.
The President Praises Red Cross
THE expected explosion did not materialize when President Coolidge delivered what will be referred to as his "Red Cross address." The President simply delivered such sentiment as is accepted by all Americans to be among the fundamentals of government and community happiness. We have noted that some of the editors of the country have tried to place certain words and certain meanings in the mouth of the new President. We can not attribute any special meaning to anything he said. Under different circumstances, no one would try to say the President meant anything "new" by his reference to the "moral forces" in the world. He meant simply what he said, and the expectancy of the people is responsible for much of the editorial slant" which has been given his remarks. The moral forces of the world are just what they have been from the beginning of civilized government. President Coolidge meant just that thing.
It is very fortunate for the country that President Coolidge spoke with utter disregard for the desire of politicians to hear him say something out of which "campaign material" could be made. The President seems bent upon building campaign material out of acts and deeds performed in the line of his office, and not out of addresses intended for public consumption or political propaganda in favor of his own nomination and election next year. This is typically Coolidge. He is going to be what he is, whenever he is and wherever he is, by reason of what he does, and not by reason of what he may say to the waiting public and anxious politicians of both parties.
Since 1859 the Red Cross has functioned in time of

suffering. It has grown into the hearts of the people, and its place is fixed as one of the most effective agencies for human relief known to the world. President Coolidge simply made that position more secure for the Red Cross, and more emphatic in the public mind.
I WILL be years and years before Americans can tell to their children the full history of Oklahoma. The present troubles out there are not any too complimentary of the American white man and his idea of a "land of the free and the home of the brave." Free men are allowed freedom of action and of locomotion until such action encounters the law of the land. "The brave" men of this country are willing to stand back of their institutions, including constitutions, courts, state sovereignty, and executive proclamations. Those who prefer to see law over-ridden by self-styled executives, cyclops, and gobblins were not "the brave" spoken of by the writer who tried to immortalize his country, and his country's flag.
The report that a legislature is about to convene in violation of the forces of the law set in force by the duly elected chief executive of the state place American institutions in jeopardy, and the whole country on the defensive. If, as is reported, the whole legally constituted force of the state of Oklahoma is in the hands of some person who, by the mere saying, can paralyze law enforcement in spite of executive orders; if, as is reported, the state police is in the hands of the Ku Klux Klan and will act subject to orders from the Klan leaders, then there is a menace in America which far transcends earthquakes, cyclones and famines. There is growing beneath the stars and stripes a serpent whose revolutionary fangs need but little more maturity before our government will crumble, and the whole world will be let into our borders to divide up our territory, appropriate our lands and raise above our helpless heads another flag, and set over us another army.
If we want our homes blotted out; if we want our history re-written by thugs and prowlers, let Oklahoma proceed with her lawlessness. The life of one governor may not be much in the sight of hungry thugs, but his single life will be paid for by thousands of lives harvested by the greedy fangs of the serpent of hate. We seem to be in for a period of darkness.

Earthquakes
MOST of us are accustomed to think of earthquakes as something which happened in olden times as forms of punishment sent down upon us by a Supreme Being for evils committed by us sinful mortals. Few, of this generation ever thought of them as a present reality, or possibility till the San Francisco quake and fire of 1905. More vividly do we think since the recent Tokio and Yokohama catastrophe. We usually say: "It will never come," believing that the particular evil will stay away in answer to our hopes. But nature takes no account of our desires. Earthquakes, storms, hurricanes and floods come when the physical conditions necessary to produce them arise. It is our business to be on guard against these disasters. The fact that they come seldom should not make us indifferent to them. For instance, we should insure our property against earthquakes, riots and floods! Since they seldom come, the rate for premiums should and will be low. Then when there comes a disaster like the Frisco quake of 1905, or the Tulsa riot of 1921, when 44 square blocks of Nerto

Editorial Comment of White Press of Walton-Cauffiel 'Law and Order' Edited
Two government executives, Governor J. G. Walton, of Oklahoma, and Mayor Cauffiel of Walton, have distinguished themselves for anti-Klan and pro-Klan activities in behalf of law and order. Of Walton, following the flogging and mistreatment of white citizens by the supposed Ku Klux Klan, the militia and issued the following statement:
"We have reached the point where the issue is the survival of invisible government or the permanency of our own visible government: I am going to clean that situation up if I have to take out alone and let them shoot at me."
Mayor Cauffiel, of Johnstown, ordered all Negroes who had not lived in Johnstown to leave and keep away from Johnstown. The order followed a pistol fight, when a colored man led to have killed a police officer.
The following are views from the "white" press on the action of the above named officials:

GOVERNOR WALTON!
The St. Louis Globe Democrat confesses that the Klan is a "menacing institution in many states" action of Governor Walton will establish a precedent more dangerous to American institution than is ever likely to be. We quote:
Gov. Walton himself has created by his military excesses and the assumption of a dictatorship of a character hitherto unknown in American history. It is essential, therefore, that the people of Oklahoma reduce their Governor to his proper place as a constitutional executive.
Whatever may be the facts as to the Ku Klux activities in that state they are of secondary importance when compared with those of the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma, it is not to private rights and to individual liberty. The acts of Gov. Walton are a means to constitutional government, which is the source and the instrument of law, the sole protector of our rights and liberties.

PRAISE FOR GOVERNOR
The Richmond Times Dispatch speaks courageously:
The Klan may not be responsible for all of the lawlessness charged against it, but it is adequately chargeable with a good deal of it. It as a masked organization working outside the law to take penalties upon those who have fallen under its disfavor. The practices it has indulged may have been imitated by others not connected with the organization, as is claimed by the latter, but in the final analysis the Klan must be held responsible for the reign of terror, claimed by Gov. Walton as having held the state in its grip for the past year or more. Whenever private citizens take the law into their own hands and administer private punishment, and punishment unknown to the law, that is certainly rebellion against the law, and it can hardly be successfully pleaded that the mere declaration of marital law by the Governor is an attack "upon law and constituted authority."

PROPER TREATMENT
The Detroit Free Press says the situation in Oklahoma received the proper treatment:
It may be that the Governor of Oklahoma has adopted a rather rough and ready way of interpreting his powers. Since a copy of the state constitution is not immediately available, we can arrive at an opinion about that. But as between the course he has selected and the practical answer of the commonwealth to the mercies of night riding, woman flogging, terrorists of the Ku Klux Klan there could be only one choice for a governor with blood in his vains and regard for the responsibilities of office.
Gov. Walton was bound to act, and act vigorously, and he did so. Those who object to the treatment they get from him, have an easy remedy for their sorrows. They need only to be decent, law-abiding citizens, upholding the laws instead of flouting them.

PAYING THE PRICE
The worst face that can be put upon it is the statement by the editor of a chain of Southern newspapers. "We are paying the price for remaining indifferent while a masked super-government grew up in our midst. If public officials all over this state, instead of groveling for votes, instead of fraternizing with an inevitable empire for political ends, had spent a little time studying their duty, J. C. Walton would have dared call out the militia and we would not now be living under a tatorship."

Walton would never have dared call out the militia and we would not now be living under a tatorship."
MAYOR CAUFFIEL
The Boston Post says the mayor of Johnstown is "amusing" in his pro-Klan order to Negotiate the city:
The Boston Post says the mayor of Johnstown is "amusing" in his pro-Klan order to Negroes in city;
It is almost amusing to note the way in which Mayor Cauffiel of Johnstown seeks to reduce disgust felt by liberal-minded people everywhere over his reported order to colored people of his city to leave the place unless they have lived there seven years.
The mayor now says that the papers were all wrong in saying that he had issued a formal order for these residents to quit; he only "advised" them "for their own safety and the good of Johnstown to leave the city"
But does that put the official in any better light? Such "advice," coupled with the word "safety" is just as unwarranted a violation of the rights of American citizens as any order could be. To be sophisticated minds it meant the same thing;
Come to think it over, it is just a bit worse, for it implies an official unwillingness to protect residents of Johnstown if their color happens to be not strictly up to Caucasian standards.
"TEMPERAMENTAL"
The Nation writes:
The temperamental mayor of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, complains that while he was away his city got in a ferment, "I decided," he said, "that the only thing to do was to send these newcomers out of town and keep them out." These newcomers are Negroes, two thousand of whom have been forced out of town within the past week under Mayor Cauffiel's order that only Negroes who can show years' residence be allowed to remain in the city. This is the same mayor that brought nation-wide attention to Johnstown a year ago by his spectacular stand on the sale of beer. So far the Klan Khan has been the only group to praise the mayor for "banning" Negroes purely on his own authority unsupported by any statute of Pennsylvania or the United States." They burned 121 firecrows on the hillstop surrounding Johnstown in celebration, apparently not at all concerned by the fact that the city of disregarding the law may, in the hands of Gov. Walton, probe their disadvantage.

MEXICO INVESTIGATES!
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin says a word about Mexico's appeal for protection against defraud:
The Mexican Government inquires as to the reported 'warning' of Mexicans from Johnstown, and its representatives at Washington and Philadelphia have been instructed to determine the facts. If there has been action, direct or indirect, to deprive Mexican citizens of their rights, a protest will be made to the United States Government.
But surely, the rights of citizens of Mexico are not more sacred in Pennsylvania, nor more forceable than the rights of citizens of the United States, whether they come from Georgia, South Carolina or any other of the sisterhood of states.
TREATY ASSURANCES TO MEXICO OF FAIR PLAY FOR ITS CITIZENS ARE NOT MORE BINDING OR FORCEABLE THAN CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES TO CITIZENS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY.

WINTER is coming—not only the season of the year, but, ere long, the winter season of industry. The
good times of employment will not always last. Thousands, nay millions, will be unemployed. It is no time now to throw away all one's earnings in liquor, diamond rings and pins, or other unnecessary luxuries. Sometimes people get automobiles before they get homes. Some have perfectly good teeth pulled out in order to put into their mouths showy gold ones. Others claim they purchase diamonds because they can convert diamonds into money should they need to. All these methods are bad. Unless one is doing a taxi business, an automobile is too great an expense for an average working man to carry. It is empty show, ostentation. One's good teeth should never be extracted so long as it is possible to save them. And as for converting diamonds into money, it is far wiser to put your money directly in the bank, and leave off the mere show till able to indulge the luxury.
Winter is coming—the winter of unemployment and want! Fortify yourself by laying aside a dollar before it is too late.
THE Firpo-Dempsey match is over. It lasted less than two rounds. North America won over South America, but "white supremacy" would not have suffered in either case. The champion dodger, Dempsey, must now frame some new pretext or excuse to keep from fighting the Négro challenger, Harry Wills. And it may be that Dempsey's trials will be doubled since Siki, the French Negro who defeated Carmentier in six rounds, is also in the United States

Both will probably be challenging Dempsey, the select champion. We say "selective," because this American champion seems willing to fight only such challengers as may "select" with a reasonable certainty that he can be. But just as Jeffries finally had to meet Jack Johnson, the alleged champion, Dempsey, will yet be forced by public opinion to meet a real fighter even though he is a Negro and in America.

What happened in Boston, Mass,
on March 5th, 1770?
In the early part of 1770 the Tea Tax which had been imposed on the American colonies, was subject for serious debate in the English Parliament, which body had begun to realize that "the fires of liberty, which had been smouldering in the hearts of the vexed colonists were likely to blaze forth at any time. On the day of Lord North's motion (March 5th, 1770) for the repeal of the Tea Act, a group of citizens of Boston under the leadership of Crisp Attucks (a Negro) and stirred out to burning patriotism; started out to violently protect against the many injustices suffered by this erstwhile treason people. They were met by a volley from the muskets of the English soldiers who were quartered in the city, and tucked and five of his companions fell mortally wounded. This event is known as the Boston Massacre. It is perhaps fitting to note that the
