idious Propaganda Used by U. N. I. A. Head to Further Expatriation Plot Disclosed.
Hereafter, the Pittsburgh Courier has not taken any paran-
tition with respect to the Garvey and anti-Garvey con-
servers. We have contented ourselves with publishing what
he had to say merely as a matter of news value. As
he Garvey confines his activity to interesting Negroes in
going to go to Africa at their own expense, we have nothing
since some Negroes just delight to be fleeced, we are as
to see Garvey fleece them as any one else.
But when Garvey seeks to interest the United States Gov-
ment in the expatriation of Negroes whose blood has long
bought their right to a peaceful residence in this coun-
tle the Pittsburgh Courier revolts at the idea, and views it as
advised. The letter published below was sent to a United
Senator by Garvey himself. It bears Garvey's signature.
It publish it as a disclosure to the world of the dangerous ex-
press to which Garvey will resort to continue his impracticable
program at the expense of gullible Negroes; and at the same
induce the Federal Government to underwrite his preach-
ments. He may be trying to interest Senators in a pardon, and
may be "selling his whole race for a pardon," but the Pittsburgh
Courier can inform Mr. Garvey that his letter will never
for him a pardon, nor for his impracticable scheme any
federal sanction. The Pittsburgh Courier vouches for the gen-
ess of the letter.—The Editor.
The whole letter follows:
October 22, 1923.
States Senator.
in Washington, D.C.
I am charged with the duty and capability of writing to you on matters which I feel that you are engaged in, because of your high elevated position in the Nation, because of your humanitarianism which is to be to be begun. The subject is that of the Negro problem as it confronts us, not in America, but in the world. Here is a deep and earnest desire the part of some of the most forward looking states to make an immediate effort to settlement of the perplexing previous question of race. We therefore did not delay the set-up of this great question, because not settle itself.
Universal Negro Improvement Association, an organization of million scattered members of I am President-General, is for a solution of the problem the founding and setting in Africa a nation for where the race will be the finest opportunity to de-self such as we may not ex-ten countries where we form but完毕 in a majority Government of other races.
There is no doubt that the 20th

and industrial position. This

4. Do you believe that the Negro should be taught not to aspire to be the best imitation of the white man, but the best product of himself.
5. Do you believe that the Negro should be taught not to aspire to the highest political positions in Governments of the white race, but to such positions among his own race in a Government of his own?
6. Do you believe that the Negro should have a Government of his own in Africa?
7. Would you help morally or otherwise to bring about such a possibility?
8. Do you believe that the Negro should be encouraged to aspire to the highest industrial and commercial positions in the countries of the white man in competition with him, and to his exclusion?
9. Do you believe that the Negro should be encouraged to create positions of his own in industry and commerce in a country of his own with the privilege of trading with the other races of the world?
10. Do you believe that the Negro should be encouraged to regard and respect the rights of all other races in the same manner as other races would respect the rights of the Negro?
11. Should five or six millions or any large number of Negroes in the United States of America desire a repatriation to Africa for the peaceful building up of a country of their own, or for the settlement of such countries as the established among the industries without any serious handling to the industries of America, would you assist in this direction?
It is felt that you will give deep consideration to this communication, and receive it in the spirit in which it is written—that of a desire to settle amicably a vexed question.
I am forwarding you under separate cover, a copy of the book "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey," and a copy of the September, 1923, number of the Magazine, "Current History," in which appear three articles on the Negro question in America, one written by the writer of this letter.
In the book, "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey," you will also find attached a reprint of a magazine article under the caption, "An'Appeal to, the Soul of White America." I am asking that you read the book and the articles, not with the eye of prejudice, but with the feeling of justice, in that the articles were written by a Negro from the viewpoint of a Negro, as he feels, on a question that deeply affects him.
Knowing your broadness of vision and your liberality of soul, leads me to feel that you will judge the subject matter of the book with fairness to the race.
With very best wishes, and hoping for an immediate reply, I have the honor to be,
Your humble and obedient servant.

Wanted to Attend
Funeral To "Make
Sure Wife Is Dead"
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Nov. S. — Charles Moseley, 21, was not permitted to attend his wife's funeral. The man asked the privilege the morning of the funeral, denying that he was sorry at all that he had killed her and that he only wanted to attend the funeral "to make sure she is buried." He shot her sixteen times in a taxicab last night after she had clapped him when he asked her to return to him, he said.

Slave Wedding Held Legal By Supreme Court
Decision of Tribunal Gives Man Who Married "Slave Sweetheart," $7,500.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 8.—The validity of a "slave marriage," performed before the days of the Civil War, proved the deciding factor here last week in one of the most bitter legal battles in years, when the Rev. M. H. Blackburn, 71 years old and rector of the East Baton Rouge parish, was awarded judgment for $7,500 against relatives by a decision of the State Supreme Court, as his sham of the estate left by his 150.
Slave Marriage Upheld.
The verdict was against Mrs. Cheney Cooper and Miss Selina Walker, sister and niece of the dead woman, who alleged they were the only living relatives and took charge of the estate, which was valued at more than $30,000.
The question of whether a slave marriage was valid played an important part in the legal battle; the statements of the women tending to show that the ceremony was a "mock" one, and that the dead woman was not really married to the aged preacher.
In his story, Blackburn told of his ardent courtship of the dead woman, then a "plantation belle," in the days before the Civil War, and of their subsequent marriage.
Rev. Blackburn alleged that both were working on a plantation and that they were married with the consent of their "masters." Following the emancipation proclamation, the couple lived for 2years as man and wife, with no one questioning the validity of the performance.
Mrs. Blackburn, it is alleged, acquired her rewealth through wise investment and strict attention to business, and at her death several years ago, left an estate worth approximately $20,000.
It is alleged that no children were born and that the dead woman left no will. Then began the legal battle through the courts of Louisiana for possession of the property, the sister and niece of the woman claiming that the marriage was not legal due to the peculiar circumstances surrounding the ceremony.
They further testified that the couple had secured no marriage certificate, and intimated that the ceremony was little more than a "mock" and that the couple had been living in a state of "common law" for years.
Those Going to Philadelphia Urged to Get in Touch With Committee Early.
"Yes, I'm going to Philadelphia Thanksgiving. I have already made my reservations on the Courier Special."
Such is the answer to an oft-heard query one may often hear, as the time fast approaches for the departure of the special train, being worked up by The Pittsburgh Courrier Publishing its hundreds of fans, proctors and others to the biggest social and athletic classic of the entire year—the Howard-Lincoln game—which is to be held at the American League hall park Thanksgiving afternoon.
With letters pouring in from all sections of the tri-state district, and with scores of people in the city signifying their intentions to attend the game via "Courierville," interest is already at fever heat, and present indications point to a delegation far

Girl's Skeleton Found in Ashes Of Big Church
TUSCALOOSE, Ala., Nov. 8. Discovery of the skeleton of a young girl in the ashes of a local Baptist church, just outside the city, which was destroyed by fire early Wednesday morning, caused the entire force of the sheriff's office to start an investigation of a case that has immediately developed many mysterious angles, and which may disclose a tragic murder.
Officials express the belief that the girl is colored, but are also working on the theory that the girl might have been white, and was the victim of an illicit love romance with a colored paramour.
Inquiry, begun by the coroner's office, disclosed that the skull had been fractured and several ribs broken. By the side of the skeleton, officers found the steel reinforcements of what was believed to have been an expensive suit case.
Hairpins May Furnish Clue
A bar pin pins are found near the body, but it was burned to such an extent that its previous value could not be ascertained. A number of steel hair pins, found near the body, may furnish a possible clue, and officers are using this faint evidence as a basis from which to work. Steels from the girl's stays indicated she was well dressed, it was added. Bits of charred silk negligee were also found.
The body is being held by the coroner, pending efforts at identification.
greater than that of last year, when the "Courrier Special" was inaugurated.
The special will leave Pittsburgh on Wednesday evening, November 28, at 10:30 P. M., traveling over the Pennsylvania railroad system, arriving in Philadelphia at 6:55 A.M., the day of the game. The rates are as follows:
Regular fare (one way).....$12.55
Lower berth (additional).....3.75
Upper berth (additional).....3.00
Reservations for train and game accommodations can be made by getting in touch with William G. Nunn, care of The Pittsburgh Courier, or by communicating with George Elliott. Those wishing reservations are urged to get in touch with the committee at once, in order that plenty of time can be had to make positive proper reservations.
Tickets for the game can be secured at the office of The Pittsburgh Courier, where a special bloc of tickets have been issued for the accommodation can also be made at the Pennsylvania ticket office or at the P. R. R. station.

Race Men Make Over $6,000,000 Weekly In Iron
Estimate Shows More Than 160,000 Workmen Employed and Over 1,800 Females.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—In a recent address before the American Iron and Steel Institute, of which he is president, Mr. Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel Corporation, said in part: "The prosperity of this country will apparently have cordial, appropriate and effective assistance from the national government, limited only by the established rules and principles and the general welfare of the people." He paid tribute to President Harding as the man whose words did more to bring the election day closer than anything else. Estimating the above statements, from a man who heads a productive industry that gives employment to a minimum of 600,000 men and transacts a business of more than two billion dollars annually, even a child can see that the future prosperity of this great industry depends largely upon the continuation of the economic policies fostered by the Republican party, the party whose leaders are trained business men, and, furthermore, that the reduction in the wage hours from 12 to 8 was made effective through a President who was the chief and the spokesman of the Republican party.
Engaged in the iron and steel industry are nearly 160,000 colored men who with their families aggregate a population approximately nearly 500,000 persons. A conservative estimate of the wages received by these men would be $6,400,000 per week or $166,400,000 per year, and no small part of this considerable amount flows into our colored newspaper offices and our churches, into the cash registers of our 23,526 (Continued on Page 1, Col 1).
Disbarment Proceedings Against Nutter
Hearing Called Because of Failure of Witness to Appear in N. Y. Case.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Nov. 8. Failure to resume the hearing of evidence by the New Jersey Bar Commission against Attorney Isaac Nutter, this city, on charges of unlawful conduct last week was due to the inability of Prosecutor Louis Repetto to bring to this city Thomas Morrow, who served as a juror in a conspiracy case. Morrow informed County Judge Smatters that he had been offered a bribe of $50 to "hang" the jury.
Agents of Prosecutor Repetto, after a long search, located Morrow in Florida. He promised to come to this city and appear before the investigators any date that may be fixed.
After some correspondence it was agreed that he should testify December 14, and when the commission was informed of the fact it acted on the Prosecutor's suggestion and notified all concerned in the hearing of the postponement.
Prosecutor Repetto stated that Morrow is the only remaining witness for the state to be called. The defense had entered most of its testimony.
The Prosecutor, under instructions, will ask, if the commission asks, to have him debarred from further practice in this state.

Dyer Brings Message To Pittsburgh
Father of Anti-Lynching Measure to Address Local Audience Thursday.
Fresh from the heart of the west, and bringing a message to the citizenry of Pittsburgh, Congressman Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, father of the Dyer anti-lynching measure, will hold forth at, the John Wesley Church, Arthur street, this Thursday evening, November 8, telling his plans to have his measure reintroduced at the next session of Congress.
Mr. Dyer, who is appearing under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P., will tell the race how much their effort, both individual and collective, is necessary to insure the final passage of a measure which will effectively check the reign of lynch law and mob outlawry so prevalent throughout the entire country.
The Dyer measure passed in the House at the last session, but was defecated through a Democratic filibuster on the floor of the Senate.

Never referring to her rival, she told of the few years spent with the man she loved — "better than myself" she said. The tragedy took place near the Robertson home in Grapeville, near here, shortly before midnight Sunday. Mrs. Robertson, who is 32 years old, started out to seek her husband, aged 33, as he had not returned home. Reaching the front porch she heard voices and discovered her husband and a woman a short distance away. According to the police, Mrs. Robertson fired four shots, one striking Robertson and causing his death.
In the flash and excitement, Robertson's woman companion escaped, but it is known whom she is and where she resides.
Excitement prevailed in the village for several hours after the slaying. Mrs. Robertson was arrested and police say she admitted the shooting.
The "other" woman has not been apprehended, it is said.

Surprise Raid On Apartment Discloses 'Nest
Divorce Court Yawns for Unfaithful Wife As Aftermath of Love Tangle.
NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 8.—Another domestic scandal broke loose in Harlem's exclusive residential section early Tuesday morning when Henry Dart broke into the apartment of his wife, Mrs. Beulah Dart, at 412 St. Nicholas Ave., and trapper her with R. S. Morgan, her lover a prominent real estate operator, with offices at 2161 7th Ave.
Mrs. Dart's apartment on St. Nicholas Ave., is in an exclusive residential section of Harlem, overlooking the well-known St. Nicholas Park.
Detectives Make Raid
Extreme excitement prevailed along St. Nicholas Ave., when operatives from the Boulin Detective Agency, accompanied by the irate husband broke down the door to Mrs. Dart's apartment. Morgan and Mrs. Dart were found in a bedroom, and both were said to be attired in extreme collocate.
Immediately upon entering the room Dart attacked his wife's lover and is said to have administered him a black eye.

Dart declared to detectives that he had visited his wife's apartment on another occasion and had found Morgan there. At this time, however, Morgan is said to have fled and hid under a table in the dining room. He also named motor and cabaret trips they made.
Morgan Well Known
R. S. Morgan is well known in commercial and religious circles. He was a member of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, and while a member of that church was active in the organization of a co-operative real estate concern, the concera finally broke up in wrangle, it is said. He is married, but is not living with his wife.
Immediately after the discovery Henry Dart began preparations to sue his wife for absolute divorce. He will also sue Morgan for alienation of his wife's affections, it is said. Mrs. Morgan will sue her husband for divorce, it is declared.
The Darts came from Summerville, S. C., to New York in 1917. He is employed by the wealthy Hungerford family who maintain a luxurious home at Briarcliffe, near Ossining.

According to testimony at the hearing the men are also members of the State constabulary and went to the tailor shop at 423 East Twenty-ninth street, owned by Mrs. Mabel Collier, a white woman. Mrs. Collier is married to a colored man. Judge Holmes reprimanded the men — Martin Greenlee, Henry Pfaff, Jr., Frank Nôtreale and Ray Samuelson — but said that there was not sufficient evidence to find them guilty of disorderly conduct.

Nov. 8.-Dr. J. H. Lemore as
found guilty last Monday afte-
noon of involuntary misha-
slaughter with punishment fixed
by law at five years in prison, in
connection with the death of
Mrs. Nellie Sanford, alleged to
have been due to an illegal
operation performed by the defendant.
It developed that the husband
of the deceased woman paid Dr.

Sanford was indicted jointly
with Lemore, but the trials were
called separately. The Sanfords

Demand Klan Bar at Harvard University
New York. Nov. 8. A message was sent to the Board of Overseers of Harvard University last week by the N. A. A. C. P. calling attention to reports that the Ku Klux Klan existed in the institution and asking that the organizers be ferreted out and expelled.
The message stated that the Klan was a vehicle for the dissemination of the poison of race and religious hatred, and that it would be better to close the doors of the university than to allow the "empire" to remain there.
that the package was pushed in the horn of a trombone carried by Charles Shaw and the Garrison girl let's the pair standing talking about the incident.
Clarence Cole, who was often referred to as a friend of the dead woman in the testimony, stated that he first met her in July, 1922. He said that she gave him a key of the house in which she lived in order that he could get a duplicate for himself. The last he saw of her was at midnight when he went to the cafe to say good night. He then went home, he testified, and knew him of the murder until Shaw around the time he numbered 6 o'clock the next morning. Cole testified that Mrs. Woody was the first one to discover the remains and claimed that she was attracted to it by a small white dog barking over the body.
Prosecutor Hinkle created a sensation among the spectators when he was called back to the stand County Physician Souder, who had testified that the "Gigarette Girl" had met her death through strangulation from the hands of a person whose finger nails had been manicured in a pointed style. "Dr. Souder," continued the Prosecutor, "will you examine the hands of the woman defendant and see if they correspond with the marks you found in the dead woman's neck."
The physician moved towards the motionless prisoner, who sat alongside of her attorney and was about to take hold of her hands when Justice Black asked that the question be answered and overruled it.

Man Alleged Cause Of N.C. Riot, Guilty
Must Pay Death Penalty for Alleged Assault on White Woman—Protests Innocence.
Johnson City, Tenn., Nov. 8—John Goss, alleged cause of the raceriot at Spruce Pine, N. C., was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death by electrocution on November 30, after a jury had deliberated less, than five minutes on the case.
Goss was alleged to have attacked a white woman, and this attack precipitated the disturbance of the races, which resulted in the deportation of about 200 colored citizens and a reign of martial law, ordered out by Governor Morrison.
The case was tried and a verdict rendered in less than four hours, although the man protested his innocence.
Prison Food Blamed For Man's Death
ABERDEEN, Miss., Nov. S.—Robert Baker is dead; Lobe Bake and S. cancer Hulsey are in a dying condition, presumably as the result of eating some bologna sausage last Monday night. The men were being held in jail here on the charge of selling whiskey. It is said that when meal time arrived Monday night the men decided they would not eat the beans and corn bread provided by the jail, and sent a trusty prisoner to a nearby grocery store to purchase them some sausage and crackers. The men ate hardly of them and about 11 o'clock Monday night other prisoners heard the men calling for help. The jailer was said to have been in another part of the building and did not answer the cries. Soon the cries stopped. When the jailer made his rounds at 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning he found Baker dead and the other men seriously ill. It is said that authorities plan to take action against the grocer.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER
Says Stokes Offered Him Large Sums
Herbert H. Williams, convicted of murder, told officials of the Western pentitientary that he had been offered large sums of money by W. E. D. Stokes to testify against Mrs. Stokes. Williams declares that he refused all of the offers. He stated that the first offer: was $2,000 and finally Stokes raised it to $5,000. Williams claimed that he had stolen some jewelry from Mrs. Stokes, was caught and indicted on the charge of having stolen $30,000 worth of jewelry from Mrs. Stokes. He claimed that the Stokes offered to hide the charge and pay him the additional sum if he would testify against Mrs. Stokes. Williams declared that he emphatically refused to comply with Mr. Stokes' wishes.
Prison officials claim that Williams is a model prisoner and they are led to place credence in what Williams says about the matter. The warden says that he does not think that Williams is just talking through his hat for some publicity. Williams told the warrier that he knew Mrs. Stokes only by sight and could not truthfully say anything against her and would not. He stated further that he is anxious to tell all about the offers Stokes made to him.

My legs were so weak that I saw by the papers what work 'Neutrone Prescription 99' was doing for other rheumaties, so I got some. It did me good right from the start. All the achs and pains left me the swelling in my legs went down and I feel like a young man again.

Rich From Grass Roots Down—Producing Free Milling Gold, Silver and Copper Ore
Here Is the Co-Owner Plan:—
"Tis a long lane that has no turning" is the statement of G. W. Miller, grizzled western financial magnate and mining expert, and president of the Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims, who, with his vast wealth is standing behind this company—child of his own brain—and said by him to be the practical solution to the race's pressing economic, social and political problems.
Mr. Miller, a true son of the west, that fabled country which we have often read about but few of us have ever seen, has spent 23 years in the vast solitude of that unexplored region, analyzing the country, has come out of that country, a powerful, picturesque figure, typical of the majestic solidarity of the mountains-which have for so long, been his companions, and brings to you a wealth of facts, supported by affidavits of western bankers and business men of integrity.
Here are the salient and vital points:
1. The Property
Showing It's Not a Speculation
our mountains, extending hundreds of feet in height, are gold bearing, averag-
The property owned by the Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims comprises 700 acres of land in Pima County, Arizona, 60 miles west of the city of Tucson the county seat. This land comprises one of the richest mining and ore districts in the entire country. These ores consist of gold, silver and copper. The ores occur from native metals, all grades, down to the average milling ore.
2. Not a Prospect
The property is already being shown up for sale to big eastern companies. Several representatives of these companies have already been on the ground, and have carried favorable reports back to the organizations which they represent. So you can see that the proposition is not a prospect. Over $15,000 has been expended by the co-owners of the company in showing up the property and employees are working day and night to complete the work begun within the next six months.
3. Nation's Storehouse of Gold
This 700-acre plot consists of 35 mines. Over 800 feet of work has been done in sinking shafts and driving in tunnels. Great gold-bearing ore veins have been shown up. The $50,000 still needed is for the purpose of completing the tunnels, and showing up to the satisfaction of the corporations interested in the proposition, the coarse gold zone and the zone of secondary enrichment for silver. These zones are known. We also have found out, through experimentation, that the great quartz porphydykes that make vertical outrops of

If this property is sold for $3,000,000, the price asked for, every co-owner will receive around $40 for every one dollar invested! This selling price is already in sight, and G. W. Miller, president of the company, is authority for the statement that when the showing-up process is completed, the property will sell for five times what he could get for it at present. This is why he is putting his co-owner proposition before the public, in order that they can line up with what he says "is the greatest mining financial plan ever offered to any people."
The co-owner plan is a novel one, original and the idea has its origin from G. W. Miller himself. The entire amount of stock for sale is limited to $65,000. Of this amount $15,000 has already been subscribed for and the balance is going fast. (a) Co-owner interests sell from $5.00 up. (b) Your money will not be tied up longer than six months. (c) At the end of this time the property will have been sold and you will reap a return of around $40 for every dollar invested.
The company has not only the support, but the financial backing of some of the recognized leaders of the race. All who have heard the co-owner proposition, have been convinced of its worth, of the integrity of its president, and the wonderful business opportunity it represents.

Men and Women Forced To Live In Same Cells
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 9. (By A. N. P.) A survey of 90 Georgia county prisons reveals the fact that they are among the worst in the country. This report is found in a bulletin issued by the state department of public welfare. There are county jails in Georgia, it is disclosed in the report, where men and women prisoners of all ages and of both races are compelled to live night and day in the compartment. Committee members of the department found actual instances of women prisoners living in the same cells with men prisoners and, in 11 jails there were absolutely no facilities for the segregation of prisoners, either by age, sex or race.

Knowledge is a sword of defense, cutting assister Ignorance and Superstition. It is acquired through persistent effort, patience and research. Knowledge is development, producing sensitives of all who aspire for perfection. In this world of countless activities we are surrounded by many folk whose knowledge of, and in these activities have been accepted as final. We accept their conclusions as touching material matters, for much has been accomplished by their efforts. But the knowledge most illuminating on Life's path to travelers on their pilgrimage to the Provisional Law that, as taught by the plan of Gullee, Jesus of Nazareth, as follows: "Seek ye first the king of God and His righteousness." In acquiring that knowledge we find the master key to the door of the treasure house of unlimited possibilities. The knowledge we possess, which we have received from that treasure house, we give to all peoples these facts; foremost, that the so-called death is a change of condition; that the the existence of like Pimenomena. We know and hold these truths are above contraction and cannot successfully be combated, and we further affirm these facts demonstrate to suffering humanity, is civilization's greatest balm. Spiritual knowledge in Modern Spiritualism spells progression. When systems of theology, creeds and dogmas have reached the climax of their thought, Modern Spiritualism through her mediums who are sensitive, are reaching into the land of spirit, and from that treasure house of things possible communicate between this and the world of spirit, with the so-called dead (yet much alive). The message that gives peace to the troubled mind, and consoling words to those on earth plane who are in suspense. Such comfort sublime we call religion, and that is service to fellow man.

"I Believe In A Square Deal For All"—Speelman
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—In an interview today, Harley V. Speelman, Register of the Treasury, denied generally the charges of discrimination against colored employees in his bureau.
Believes in Square Deal
In explaining his attitude toward colored people, Mr. Speelman gave as his platform "a fair chance and a square deal for everybody."
Going more specifically into the jim. grow allegations, Mr. Speelman explained the elevator service employed in his bureau, by stating that one-half of the office force is required to report for duty 15 minutes earlier and leave 15 minutes sooner in order to expedite the movement of the larger number of employees. Every other floor is required to report at 8:45 A.M.; but the floor on which the colored section is located has so many employees on it that it is divided into two sections.
Mr. Speelman pointed out as evidence of his efforts to give colored people a square deal that there had been approximately an increase in the number of colored employees under him of 115 per cent.
There are now in the office of the Register 118 colored employees, 63 of whom have been appointed in the past 18 months. Seventy-nine of these are colored section, which, it is claimed, is jim-crowded. Besides a colored section chief and an assistant section chief, there are also two colored women supervisors, who, according to the Register, are probably the first colored women ever appointed to supervisory positions in the Government service.

BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 3. — Be-
Both teams played spectacular ball but neither scored in this period. Hampton's Brilliant, Finish
In the last quarter Jacobs returned to the game and immediately upon receiving the ball worked his team down the field and rushed Hargrove over on an off-tack play for the winning touchdown. Hampton received the ball on his 10-yard line. Both teams struggled to score. Gunn been able to pass. Hargrove hit for first down. Hampton was displaying her wonderful ability to score when scores counted and was fighting with a determined and irresistible offense that finally overcame the "Lions." After working down to Lincoln's 12-yard line, a penalty put Hampton on Lincoln's 12-yard line. Hargrove then hit the line for a touchdown and Gunn scored an extra point.
"Whirwind" Johnson was rushed back into the lineup. A great aerial pass was launched by Lincoln but they failed to complete a pass. The game ended just after Williams had intercepted a pass. Thus ended one of the greatest gridiron battles in the history of collegiate football.

BY P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR.
BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 3. — Before thousands of gay and enthusiastic roots who had gathered from all party of the country to see the versatile elevenes of Hampton and Lincoln battle for gridiron supremacy, Hampton would on her greatest day of applause on the year in triumphing over the Lincoln "Lions." 7-3. For the third time this season she displayed her ability to come from behind and win at the deciding moment.
The Hampton backs and linesmen starred in both offensive and defensive play. Jacobs, at quarterback, exhibited wonderful generalship. Though badly hurt in the first period, he pluckly stuck to his position. At the end of the first half he became unconscious. He returned to the game in the last period and ran his team to victory. "Bulldog" Williams at fullback was probably Hampton's most consistent gainer. He always made gains when gains counted. Hardwick and Gunn played their usual great game. Gunn displayed more plunging ability than J. Taylor. Taylor was substituted for J.uffin, who he was injured, also gave fine ball. Hargrove was a good gainer and an excellent defensive player. He also scored the winning touchdown. Gunn, as usual, scored the extra point. Byrd of Lincoln was undoubtedly the best Lincoln gainer and ran up punts in great style. Pollit and Taylor also played great ball.
.
Lincoln kicked to Hampton's 20-yard line. Hampton was down on her 15-yard line. On the first play Williams gained 8 yards. Hardwick hit for 10 yards and a first down. Hampton fumbled, recovered, and kicked. Lincoln's ball on Hampton's 47-yard line. Johnson gained 8 yards on two plays. T. T. Coleman downed Byrd for a 2-yard loss. Lincoln kicked Gunn run 20 yards. Hardwick gained 8 yards and Lincoln braced to hold for downs. Both teams punted out of danger. The quarter ended with Lincoln in possession of the ball on Hampton's 49-yard line.
Lincoln Scores
In the second quarter on the first play "Whirlwind" Johnson fumbled and T. T. Coleman covered the pigskin. Gunn ran 15 yards on a fake play. Pollit was "substituted for Johnson and Lincoln braced to hold Hampton. After successive gains of 20, 15 and 6 yards by Byrd and Pollit, Hampton stiffened, Ruffin getting Byrd for a loss. Lincoln was unable to gain any more. Crudup then kicked a place kick from the 25-yard line.
Hampton kicked to Lincoln. Byrd advanced 20 yards. An attempted drop kick failed. The first half ended with Lincoln in possession of the ball on her 20-yard line. The second half advanced the ball to the 17-yard line in the third quarter but could not score. In this period Cap, Coleman and "Jimmie" Jones both downed Byrd for losses. Jones got through the line and downed Byrd for a 15-yard loss.
Institute Defeats Strong Theological Grid Warriors,12-0
LAKIN FIELD, Institute, W. Va., Nov. 8—The Collegiate Institute eleven took the Virginia Theological Seminary and College Football team into camp Saturday by the score of 12-0. Against a line averaging 170 lbs., the local favorites were helpless. Only during the final seven minutes of play was Institute able to dent the line for a score, which she did by playing straight football. The game was hotly and cleanly fought throughout. Smith and Hodges were terrors for Institute's defensive work, while Drewery and Turner tore off runs for 30-yard gain. For the Theologians, Capt. Moore, Jordan and Whedbeck carried the brunt of the offensive and defensive work, while Lanier was a thorn in Institute's side on forward pass intercepting. Lineup:

"GRIDIRON DUST" FROM SOUTHERN COLLEGES
-By "Tiny Red" Walker
Atlanta University,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Tim:
All that I could do during the past week was to lie in bed and dream football. My fractured limb kept good company. The team went to play Clalin last Thursday and you can imagine the time had trying to myself behind during the hour that the struggle was going on in S. C.
They sent me over to see the Morehouse-Tuskegee struggle Saturday. Although the weather was unfavorable, it was a good battle. It was a great sight to see Stevenson, Tuskegee's triple threat halfback, boot the wet, slippery pigskin for long, well-placed gains. This lanky fellow pulled his team out of many dangerous positions by his kicking and was the principal backkick for Movehouse, played a stellar role for the Macon and White
Well, old timer, today is the day of the "big fight" between A. U. and Union. Although on the sidelines, we will be in every play every minute. We are not going to make any prediction as to the outcome; suffeth it to say that the team that won't be beaten can be beaten, and the Crimson and Gray warriors have instilled into their minds that they won't be beaten.
I am hoping to be back in the game, when we meet "Tubby" Johnson and his boys from Fisk, on the 17th.

Va. Union and Atlanta on Edge For Intersectional Grid Classic Saturday
(Special to The Pittsburgh Courrier)
BY CHESTER L. WASHINGTON
When the referee's shrill whistle signals the commencement of hostilities in the much-heralded Virginia Union university-Atlanta university gridiron clash, two of the greatest colored footballs aggregations in the country will be brought together; the Dominion will probably the cream of the Colored Intercollegiate association, and the Atlanta U. crimson-clad grid warriors, one of the paramount eleven of the far South.
On the sport horizon, this great battle looms as one of the greatest intersectional games ever staged between Negro universities and all reports from both institutions point to a clash that will go down in the annals of gridiron history as a record-breaker in portraying football strategy, and as an unparalleled event in the sport world of Atl.
One mark of progress among the race is the ability to recognize competency and give it its place in the affairs of life. To be more specific, we have reference to the using of Negro officials in Southern football games.
It was the writer's humiliating displeasure to face a "few things" in the Tuskegee-Antia game played in Tuskegee, in which white men officiated. Certainly we have no personal dislike for efficient and unjudiced white officials, but when a white official calls a group of Negro players to a game, it is high time that we TAKE NOICE. Then again, when the acting captain of a team can not carry a just complaint to an official without being told, "Shut up or I'll put you out of the game," we have another occasion to take notice.
Now, another incident. News came to us that the white officials in the Talladega-Morris Brown game, which was played in Birmingham, were discontented to the extremist taking the master-channel thought to aid them in showing their authority. The wealth of efficient Negro officials makes such incidents unnecessary. Last year's grid struggles in Atlanta were well presided over by men of color and this year's contests have proved no exception. Atlantans who have proved their ability to handle a grid struggle as well as our Caucasian brother. We see no reason why Negro officials should not handle ALL of our games.
kanta from the standpoint of attendance, enthusiasm, spirit and intensive rivalry.
A report comes from Atlanta that the basketball on the university campus in far-off Georgia is that "Atlanta's going to shine the night of the 10th" and that "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight," after they carry the token of victory off their spacious stadium on that long-looked for Saturday.
Coach Martin, the aggressive grid mentor, who has developed a formidable squad again this year, hopes to have a championship aggregation. It will be remembered that through his diligent football education, Union gained the C. I. A. A. championship in '22 and the second highest honors in the basketball season. He plans to treat a teammate onto the Ponce De Leon grid arena with every man primed for action and ready to struggle nobly for victory.
Both elevents will enter the encounter with "the flush of victory" on their faces and with a degree of confidence, though they have a keen appreciation of the might of their foe. The stellar Union aggregation have proved their right to the title of mothers, for they have not owed their foe any sinn this season. The formidable Lynchburg, Va. Sem. & Col. team was trampled over by the Unionites in a manner which almost doubled the accomplishments of the Howard Blue and Gold "machine" and the fast St. Paul eleven against the same Virginians. Then Shaw was completely outplayed by the Panther grid demons, although the score was just 6-0. Atlanta defeated their ancient enemy the Dressege State Normal school, last Saturday in a keenly-contested battle; this win being a continuation of a series of successes for the Georgia gridders.
The questions as to whether the Mid-Southern or the Far-Southern colleges have the most football "brains" will be definitely settled when the two eleven trot off Force De Leon park on the eve of the 10th. Inflections point to a man for tickets and a monster crowd. If predictions are correct, all the elite of the Far-South, the Southern aristocracy of our race, will travel from miles around to witness the greatest intersection classic in the history of intercollegiate football.

Howard Eleven Takes Scalp Of Wilberforce
Howard Eleven Takes Scalp Of Wilberforce
Playing of Doneghy Stands Out As Coach Watson's System Displays Offensive Power.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 8.—True to their promise to Coach Watson, the Howard university elephant took the scalp of Wilberforce, the erstwhile unbeaten eleven from the west, in a hotly contested gridiron battle in the American League park. Friday, November 2, by a score of 7 to 0. The touchdown secured by the Howard warriors was the result of a series of line plunges which netted first down after first down until the goal of the Wilberforce boys was crossed, then the unfailing toe of Doneghy. Howard left halfback and captain of the team, put over the drop-kick which registered the other point.
In the second half Howard scored its only touchdown, distinctly outplaying the Wilberforce eleven, gaining first down after first down and putting one green and gold man after another out of the game. After a little punting contest in the beginning of the period, in the second half, the outclassed Doneghy's, the Bison's machine got going. Starting at her own 26-yard line, the Howard boys came down the field rapidly, gaining first down in quick succession, and using no trick plays, but simply line bucks, off-tackle and end run plays. Doneghy was the outstanding star in this rush down the field, he alone making gains of 6, 8 and 10. With the ball on Wilberforce's 2-yard line, Peyton. Howard full-back, plunged through center for the lone touchdown of the game. Doneghy kicked the extra point.
Doneghy was the outstanding star of the game, and struck terror in the hearts of several of the Lincoln Lions who witnessed the game by his consistent large gains. Smith Priestly and Contee also played a good game for Howard. Howard registered 19 first downs to Wilberforce's 5.
Wilberforce suffered many injuries; sh substitutions were made Brown, Fields, Stout, Hurd and Huff did much to prevent the tradition of the west from falling, and all four had to be carried from the field.

Can Wills Afford to Buck Tex Rickard?
News dispatches from the East say that Harry Wills challenger for the crown worn by Champion Jack Dempsey, ful, but to all appearances dopey, manager, Paddy Warpath against Tex Rickard and have vowed to the auspices of the "Fight Trust."
This so-called trust comprises the interest of Rickard Kane,ney and Dempsey himself.
There is hardly any argument against the right of W. to be chance at the championship; even the biased and fact. Rickard and Kearns have coldsulted with a son, as perhaps Wills similarly situated would would be good sportsmanship, but darned poor business upon losing a million dollar asset, unless there was a great demand for a Wills-Dempsey fight. It is to preclude the same of the way they fight, and they must not be more than a dangerous and Rickard and Kearns are going to be the only Wills so long as the "public," as typified by prejudiced aet. boost, sucker challengers as world beaters. For instance, Carver Firpo were no more fictiously worthy of a fight with Dempsey for championship than would be Renault, Floyd Johnson and the other. But they presented the glamour of an international and the trying to take national honors away to another land, and the both sporting and patriotic fervor. The crafty Robert was to both see the two so-called "GREAT" contests, and the leading $1,600,000.00 and the other $1,200,000.00, the writer was to be a latter suckers present. Hardly any one in the know of contrasting that are, pugilistically speaking, would complete either the bump. Carver, the other of Firpo fight, from a start-up of most sportsmanship, the equal of a Dempsey-Wills fight. But, do not
While it is pretty generally agreed that Wills is entitled to decide he should take Rickard's offer of a fight with Remuth, whom he could feat handily, and by knocking over the dubs, virtually beat Remuth his argument with the public. Wills must fight his way to the souled backing of the public; there is little moral moral red in the game. A fighter, handicapped as is, Wills must "dig" his digs his fists in the ring and not resort to moral sassion. He should fight Tex Rickard, "Jim Cattis" or "Strawberry Pete" so long as it was an opportunity to keep before the public as a top-notch performer, done, the public will take care of Mr. Rickard.

Tiger' Flowers Again Training
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 8. — Tiger Flowers, colored midnightweight championship contender, will begin light training and will soon be ready to fill his contracts in Mexico and Cuba that were cancelled due to a broken right hand that the Tiger received at Mexico City on September 16th.
Walk Miller, manager of the "Tiger" states that he has many offenses from the Middle West and East and that he is just as soon as Flowers has filled out the contracts that were called off due to the injury, he intends accepting some of the offers he has had made for the "Tiger" in the East and Middle West. Miller would like nothing better than to get a match with either Harry Greb or Mike McTigue, as he feels that his dusky warrior can defeat either of these champions.

The Famous Sheiks, formerly the Little A. A., managed by Ernest J. Bossie, and consisting of a lineup of veterans, whose names are familiar to independent football lovers in this section, will lock horns with the Stanton A. A., dubbed the "fightin' Irish," next Sunday, in South Side. The game looms as one of the most attractive on independent schedules, and their crowd is expected. Car 50 will take Sheikt rooters to the grounds. Manager Bossie still has some open dates on his schedule and would like to hear from Toledo, Uniontown, Homestead Grays and Greensburg. For games write to E. J. Bossie, 70 Fullerton street, or call Grant 9759.

Johnson last Friday night, with Harry Wills, Rickard has undertaken the negotiations in the interests of a New York newspaper fund. If arranged, the promoter plans to stage the match around holiday time, possibly December 21, at Madison Square Garden. The only city in the contract comes from statement issued by Paddy Mullins, Wills' manager, who states that his man will never fight for Rickard. But the wisecreers believe that he will change his mind, listen to reason, and get hep to the fact that Wills' only chance to meet Dempsey lies through Rickard and the New York "fight trust."

HAMPTON, Va., Nov. 8—Hampton Institute and Howard University will meet for their big game of the season on Saturday, November 17, at 2 P. M., on Armstrong Field, Hampton Institute. It is in readiness for a spectacular grand slam two strong, football eighties. The records which have been made by each team indicate that the football public will have the opportunity of seeing a splendid contest.
Hampton Launches "Varsity Club"
On November 17, following the Hampton-Howard game, the Hampton Institute athletes who have won school letters in any branch of sport from the time Hampton entered intercollegiate competition to the present will meet in the Institute Museum to organize the "Hampton Institute Varsity Club," which will help keep alive the "fighting spirit" for which Hampton men are known and which has always been evident on the gridiron, basketball court, basketball under path, or in the great game of life.
This new Varsity Club will keep its members informed about athletic conditions at Hampton Institute, including the records of the Hampton teams. It will be the means of developing a finer spirit of co-operation between former athletes in all branches of sports and the institution:

LAWRENCEVILLE, Va., Nov. 8.
—Before one thousand enthusiastic football spectators, St. Paul was very impressive in mauling the National Training School fast team on Russell Field by 38 to 0, much more so in fact than it was a year ago, when the Episcopalians beat the Nonsectarians, 12 to 0. In this afternoon the Tigers showed splendid speed, wonderful power and a defense that blanketed the attack of the Durham boys like a circus tent covers a vacant lot.
LIBERTY CYCLONES WIN
On Saturday, November 3, the Cyclones defeated the strong H. A. Little club, of North Side, to the score of 12-0. The playing of C. (Gray) Kelly, Cyclone's tackle, and the 70-yard run of "King" Gaskins for a touchdown, were the features of the game. Cyclones have Armistice Day and Thanksgiving open for games abroad. Write W. A.

2,000 Turn Out As Gray Gridders Win From Keystones,12-0
Homestead Grays defeated Homestead Keystones at Washington park Saturday after 2,000 wildly cheering gridiron fans. The Grays football team more than came up to expectations to downing this gang of "mill workers" who had lost but one-game in two seasons. Led by "Lotte" Walker and Dickerson, the Grays attack could not be denied in the third period. Walker carried the ball-to-the 1-yard line from where Dickerson crashed through tackle for a touchdown. The second touchdown was the result of a long run by Moody. Moody was the only player in which completely caught the Keystones off guard. The gain was good for 40 yards and placed the ball on the 10-yard line. Plays by Barks and Walker carried it over. The Grays presented a big fast heavy line, with four ax-scholastic stars in the backfield, Walker, Cormier, Cornish, and the outstanding stars for Henderson, the Beaver Falls baseball player, starred at fullback for Keystones.

PETERSBURG, Va., Nov. 8—Before a rather small but enthusiastic crowd, the light but fast team of the Va. Normal rode to victory over the heavy North Carolina A. & T. College here Saturday, by scoring a touchdown in the last six minutes of play, using the aerial route.
The only score came in the last quarter, when Va. Normal came in to possession of the ball on the 25-yard line, and after several gains through the line, uncorcked her artery. Epps to D. Brown, which setted the touchdown. Coles easily kicked goal for the extra point.
Atlanta University Defeats Claflin, 6-0
Atlanta University Defeats Claflin, 6-0
ORANGEBURG, S. C., Nov. 8.—In a game replete with sluggish pushing and a general lack of knowledge of the rules of the game on the part of the Clafin team, the Crimean Hurricane emerged victorious to the hurricane of 0-0 and "thankking its star" that its serious injuries were inflicted upon its officers, in its game with Clafin here today. The Hurricane scored in the second quarter when Williams took the ball over the goal line after a series of plunges had brought it from the Hurricane's 10-vard line.
Claflin threatened in the first quarter when they brought the ball to Atlanta's 10-yard line, but lacked the punch to put it over. After that punch to make the advantage advances until the ball played, when Claflin's right end broke through the line on a fake formation and ran 20 'yards before being down. In the fourth quarter Collum (the pass) Clay who crossed Claflin's line. He line was pushed back and the ball rested on the 1-yard line. Claflin held and the ball went over.

TO COMMONW.EALTH
By Geo. M. Bell
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—Perth Amboy's Big Five, the team that has the Indian Sign on the Commonwealth Big Five, came to Harlem for the first of a series of games tonight.

Both teams returned to the fray after the usual 10 minutes' rest,待续到 win, the result being that the boys used every ounce of reserve energy, resulting in a fast and interesting game.
The final result was, Perth Amboy 19, Commonwealth 36. This is the first time Commonwealth has defeated Perth Amboy in Harlem.
RENAISSANCE FIVE AND
ST. MARKS FLASHES WIN
The Renaissance Big Five made their initial bow to the sport-loving public on Saturday evening, November 3d, at the hall whose name the team carries. The audience was large and enthusiastic and enjoyed the game immensely.
The Collegiate Big Five, made up of the following well-known players: Davis, formerly of C. C., N. C., Harry Davis, formerly of Perth, boy; Wein, of Columbia, and Gordon, of Rutgers, came to Harlem full of confidence, and played a corking good game at that. But the boys of the Big R made a last minute spurt and took the lead with the result that the collegiates finished on the short end of 28-22 score.
Earlier in the week at St. Mark's Hall, the Flashes, displaying a brand of basketball that marks the professional ranks, opened an attack on the meteors of Long Island and completely carried them off their feet. The result was a 52-12 victory for the Falshes. Referee Huiswoud officiated.

To "Nip" Winters goes the honor of turning in the mots victories for Hildale last season. The eccentric southpaw won 32, lost 6 and tied one. "Bib" Mackey, who has high hopes of being "manager" next year, led in batting with .423 in 146 games. Lloyd hit .418 in 107 games.
Otto Briggs made the most hits, 248, and scored the most, 175. Warfield led in stolen bases with 67 and in sacrifices with 71. Thomas had 23 home runs and 67 doubles in 181 games. George Carr hit 21 circuit clouts in 181 games.
George scored 1228 runs, wain 134, lost 42 and tied 6 games. They had 18 shutouts and were themselves blanked in six battles.
Phillip, son of Cookrell, had an off season. All he did was win 24 out of 32 games, two of which were victories over the Athletics, and hit 290. Yes, Phil had a year.
Our old friend Capt. Fats Jenkins, of Commonwealth, has decided to play a guard position on the five this year. His place at forward is being partially filled (only partially, folks) by Grant and Moten, who alternate on the job.
Here is another "guess," so laid it aside: The present combination is fair to mediocre!
Philadelphia sportmen are already loosening the rubber on the old B. R. Tentative fcelers as to odds on the Hampton-Lincoln game are being sent out. One thousand dollars has been contributed to a pool in a Fifteenth street business place to be placed on Lincoln.
The "first annual bulletin" of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association which was organized some 12 years ago by athletic delegates of Howard, Lincoln, Shaw and Hampton has just been issued. The C. I. A. A. is now a member of the National Collegiate A. A.
To the C. I. A. A. must be given a great deal of credit for the advance in athletics generally in our colleges and schools. It has preached the doctrine of clean living and fair play and has urged the development of athletics along all lines.
The member schools are Howard, Lincoln, Union, Shaw, Virginia Theological, Virginia Normal, Hampton, W. A. Rogers of Virginia Normal is president and Charles H. Williams of Hampton is secretary-treasurer.
From all sections of the map grist comes to our mill. We have a stack of Cuban newspapers at our show showing just what is what and who is who in baseball on the Pearl of the Antilles.
John Henry Lloyd, captain of Havana, is playing first base and getting his daily hits where they count most.
Clinton Thomas, whom John Henry brought out of the West to Hilldale, is playing center field for the same outfit. In his first game he had four hits and became a popular hero over night.
Other familiar names on Havana are Luce of Cincinnati, Mack Eggleston, Chacon, Portuondo and Jimínez. Ere this writing has met the anxious eyes of the sport public "Red" Ryan and "Nip" Winters will have been added to the roster.
Hubbard, of the Brooklyn Royals, pitching for Almondares, lost his first game to Havana, 4-3, when Lloyd got on first base, through Herrera's error, went to second on a sacrifice and scored on Jimínez's single.

Bedtime Stories In a PullmanSmoker
Bedtime Stories In a PullmanSmoker
RETURNING TO ZION (Lincoln Service) There was a nasal tonic inflection in his voice that marked him Hebrew, and when I entered the smoker, I recognized the speaker as my whilom-friend, the Wandering Jew. He had been through the West, not particularly on business, but more to recoup his health. He felt fine and was pleased to note the prospects for steady domestic activity. Something must be dofe to find a market for silver, he thought. There is such little silver money used that the western mines are encountering difficulty in placing their product. The Japanese earthquake was being felt in undertakers' accessories, silks, jinens, ete, but he didn't think the captains of the funeral industry would have nerve enough to raise the price of their sad service.
The West was settling down to the determination of making the best of all conditions with a fine confidence in President Coolidge and his administrative agents. Lloyd George had absolutely "stolen" the show" among the Middle Westerners by his democratic attitude. He didn't think the colored migrants would be going South in great numbers during the winter, even if there should be a slump in production. The general outlook across seas is not so bright.
"To tell the truth," said my versatile cosmopolitan, "I believe the world is losing its mind—a sort of universal loco. The war gave it a chance to revert to its cave-man instincts, which had been so long restrained. Besides, science and invention had developed quite to the aenea and these great forces were straining at their leashes. So, the Christian nations tried their mankilling devices upon each other. They throw every artifice of destruction into the burning cauldron of human hate. Since they've had a taste of blood, they rather like it. It's a kind of a 'fe-fi-fo-fum' proposition and they will probably continue until they get their fill."
"Do I undahstand you, suh, as havin' been opposed to the wah?" asked a gentleman, who was evidently a Southern Colonel of the valiant Home Guards.
There was once a Duck that lived in the midst of a big barnyard. One summer's day the eggs that she had been setting on hatched out—all but one egg; that did not hatch. It was a big egg, so big that the Mother Duck thought that it would surely bring forth a beautiful Duckling, or perhaps even a Turkey Chick. At last the egg broke. But neither a beautiful Duckling nor a Turkey Chick appeared. It was an ugly Duckling—the ugliest duckling that the barnyard had ever seen.
"Perhaps it is a Turkey Chick after all," said the Mother Duck to herself for she did not believe that so ugly a creature could be her son. But when she had led all her children down to the water, the ugly duckling swam as well as any of them.
Now when the other Ducks that lived in the barnyard, and also the Hens and the Turkeys that lived there too, saw this ugly creature they were angry. "We will not allow such a homely thing to live in our barnyard." they cried, and immediately they began to beat the poor Duckling and to scold him and to bite him. After a few days of such treatment he was so sore and so lame that he knew he could not stay in the barnyard another minute. Sobbing and with tears in his eyes he flew over the barnyard wall and ran out into the muddows.
He soon came to a swamp where he found a flock of Wild Ducks. "You are ugly. Go away!" they shouted as soon as they had seen him. He flew off in search of some one who would
"Whether I was or not," retorted the Wandering Jew, "I didn't sit at home to keep out of the draft. I went over like a man—enlisted and fought it out. Did you?" "Wall, I didn't exactly go over, but I done my bit. I calculated I could better suhve my country by remainin' at home. When President Wilson called fo' pine I sol' th' Gov'ment right smaht at a reasonable figgh. An', ob co'es cleaned up somethin' fo' myself."
"Pine!" intoned the Jew. "Pine! Can you beat it! Pine to build ships, I suppose! Pine was about as much use in the war a sa ham-sandwich at a Jew picnic. You helped on the war with pine! Haven't you got a gross of distinguished service medals concealed about you? Pine! You're a real bargain as a hundred per cent American. Why didn't you raise mules to pull the airplanes?" The tall timber patriot retired in confusion and our philosopher continued: "There is an evidence of the prevailing mania. This man has hitched his wagon to a toad instead of a star and will never rise above a mud-puddle. He is an example of the war-like spirit that is having its inning. He wants to see a big fight so he can furnish the pine."
treent him kindly. Toward evening he had become so tired that he had to seek shelter under a rose-bush which stood outside the door of a little hut. He was so frightened that it was morning before he dared move. Then he crawled into the sunlight and stretched himself. No sooner had he done so than an old woman ran out of the hut and waving a broom above her head she chased him down the road.
The poor, ugly little Duckling didn't know what to do. It was getting cold for winter was coming on, and he had no place to go to keep warm. Day after day went by and it grew colder and colder. The snow fell, and the ponds froze over. The ugly Duckling was very miserable. But then spring came. One day while he was swimming about in a little pond, he saw a flock of strange birds flying overhead. "What beautiful creatures!" he cried. "I will follow them, for if they will only let me look at them, I will be perfectly happy." He flew after them and soon came to a wonderfully blue lake. At first he did not dare to go too close to the beautiful birds, but at last he took courage and swam into their midst, although he would surely be driven away—perhaps killed.
"What a gorgeous creature!" one of them exclaimed: "Welcome, Lord and Master." cried another. "You are the most beautiful bird of us all!" The ugly Duckling was about to ask them not to make fun of him when he looked at his own reflection in the water. Lo and behold, he was a big, beautiful, white swan!

THE DIGEST By Floyd J. Calvin
busy day and night with thoughts of his constituents—figuring how to get into the limelight, and after he is there, how to stay. Under the present form of government there is little hope of redefining the presidential burden. He is elected the people and he must necessarily have the people's interests at heart.
England has her Royal Family to placate the socially ambitious. Thus the Prime Minister is left free to attend the Empire's business. But an American president must be socially prominent and officially punctual. It is impossible for him to do both efficiently and effectively without unlucky strain.
The policy is and must remain that we should be snatched up, put through a breaking process, then cast aside. Their composition will be an assured place in history:
IMPERIAL WIZARD HIRAM WHEYANS of the Ku Klux Klan has come out in the open and laid down the law of his invisible empire. He and his hooded fraternity have definitely declared war upon the Catholics, Jews and Negroes. They style the Catholics as "more subservient to the priesthood at Rome than the presidency at Washington," and rail that the Jew is "unblendable."
Speaking at Dallas, Tex. at a county fair, where the wizard was a once practicing dentist, he said of Negroes:
"They have not, they cannot, attain the Anglo-Saxon level. Both biology and anthropology prove it, and the experience of centuries confirms that conclusion. The low mentality of savage ancestors, of jungle environs, of the bullied in blood stream of the colored race in America. No new environment can more than superficially overcome this age-old hereditary handicap."
Louis Marshall, corporation lawyer and distinguished jurist, answered for the Jews; Father John P. Burke, general secretary of the Catholic Conference, replied for the Jews; David Johnson, poet, diplomat and secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spoke up for the Negro. Mr. Johnson retorts in the New York World: "How much Mr. Evans knows about biology or anthropology I cannot say, but I do know that these two sciences are no more than as Mr. Evans declares. In fact, the direct opposite is true. There is no science by which it can be proved that the Negro or any other of the so-called backward races has not the potential powers to reach the highest development." Wizard Evans does not realize the career which he and the klan are embarking. It is dangerous and disconcerting to say the least.
If for a moment we forget the Negro, to array the Catholics and Jews, the political and financial leaders of the country, against the thirty-five million Anglo-Saxons—it is not soothing to contemplate. Since the K K K, takes only 100% native-born Protestants, and since, according to the wizard's own figures, there are only thirty-five millions of this breed, and since, according to census, there are 100,000,000 white Americans in all, it looks as if there are 65,000,000 in the country ineligible to the klux membership. This is almost double the probable housing membership, is not expected that all of the 35,000,000 are suckers. Thus the invisible empire is left with a sad deficit. What will become of them if they force the issue can only be imagined.
Another phase of the klan controversy is interesting. Louis Marshall, just before answering Wizard Evans in behalf of Jews, prefaced his remarks with a reference to Negroes. He said:
"Negroes are to be excluded because their color. Anglo-Saxon blood may have been comingled and blended with that of their African ancestors, who were forcibly brought to this country in shackles by Anglo-Saxon slave dealers. They may be Protestant. And yet the ten millions of those who had no choice in who their coming here, must disappear."
The Columbia, S. C., State not long ago, remarked:
"Were the whole race of the American Negroes of the sable, or dark, hue of the original slaves when they landed on our shores, the complexities of the 'Negro question' would not be nearly so numerous as they have come to be—and not nearly so troublesome."
The Conviction three weeks ago, reported of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, eniguent colored woman:
"She is descended on her maternal side from Richard Nichols, who compelled Peter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam, and who for a short while was Governor of the State of New York."
So that's that!

Poor Boys
ERIC D. WALRON, a young colored man from British Guiana and the Panama National Zone, has won a place in journalism as a magazine writer. His recent contributions to Current History, The Smart Set, Classic and The New Republic easily place him at the head of the younger generation of Negro writers.
Mr. Walrond started out with "On Being Black, Today he is signed as "Formerly associated editor of The Negro World and now a frequent contributor on race questions to leading magazines in America and Europe."
Mr. Walrond's basic work is chiefly confined to description and exposition. He makes no attempt at formal analysis. Having an informal mind, he interprets to the world of white what is transpiring in the world of black.
His point of view is interesting. Coming to America only three years ago, he has only an academic acquaintance and understanding of inter-racial problems. This enables him to clearly and free from a native weakness of "overstressing" the point. For instance, when he begins an article he is not obsessed with the idea that he must refute Ben Tillman and give the life to Vardaman; or spike Hoke Smith and blast the idea that he must be distorted by a vivid subconscious picture of lynching and rapine. To him the problem is simple. He knows certain historical facts. He buses his premises upon them and proceeds without much ado. The result is a current piece of literature worthy of public presentation.
The American phase of the Negro question is the most biased, distorted and agitated in the realm of racial discussion. Always a foreigner can see more good in both sides than the native. When Wells was at the Disarmament Conference he touch the disarmament subject and was fair. His only察觉 was the French Senegalese.
But when Americans start — hah! White or colored, generally they must prove some preconceived notion, regardless of the facts.
It is at least a relief to have Mr. Walrond's new point of view.
SAYS Samuel Gompers, veteran president of the American Federation of Labor:
"It is always labor's aim to support principles, not parties, in political campaigns."
"There are two things to be considered in regard to the Presidency. One of these—and by far the more important—is the platform of the party. The other is the candidate. The platform is of greater importance, because, as I think, it will be generally agreed, platforms are being more faithfully kept now than formerly. At least there is a more genuine effort to regard platforms as actual guides to practice on the part of Presidents."
This is the platform of Labor. It is easily safe, but it cannot be imitated by Negroes. The Republicans, principles, not parties? If the Republicans are hostile to Labor's interests, she goes Democratic. If the Democrats are infiltrent, she goes Republican. If both are slow there is Farmer-Labor waiting.
Not sp with the Negro. If the Republicans are hostile the Democrats are worse. If the Democrats are hostile, that is expected. If both are indifferent the Negro can only be patient. Party politics rule. No other party is strong enough to help his case.
But the situation is not hopeless. In local campaigns where the Negro can be indifferent to decide, a careful program of propaganda can be made to work wonders. If Republicans are hostile, a threat to turn them out or keep them out will invariably bring them around. If they insist on the threat being carried out as a test, then carry it out. Perchance next time they won't stray so far from the fold.
But this can only be an experiment or an expediency. The national parties have their genesis in the small local organizations. The national attitude of Negroes. If Negroes make city machine strong they make the state machine strong. If the state machines are strong the national machine is in good trim.
In northern cities it might be safe to use the rule of expedition; but beyond that point the plan is unsafe. In the field of national and state politics the Republican party remains "The Ship." It is idle for Negroes to vote otherwise.
S1D says: "From the minute we get up in the morning until we go to sleep at night, we stage a continuous show of work and play, of aspirations and pretensions, of bumbee and bombast, of hope and fear, of "the head of dressing and after a third day's work and visiting the theatre, for a more or less speculative performance, if we would only curl up in our arm chairs and "see ourselves as others see us." What a sure-fire show we would have."

Reading Character by the Finger Tips Popular and Absorbing Parlor Pastime
Would Not Work For Any Money
SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Nov. 8—Dr. Charles Proteus Steinmetz, who died in his home here last week of myocarditis, though the "highest paid electrical engineer in the world," left virtually no estate, it was learned today. His books and papers, an electric automobile, made in 1912, and a $1,500 insurance policy, the same as is issued to all the General Electric Company, apparently comprise the entire worldly wealth of the scientist and inventor.
The man who "made lightning" probably could have made millions, but apparently he never drew a salary and when he entered the employ of the General Electric company a score of years ago, declared he "did not wish to work for money."
"I do not wish to work for money," said Dr. Steinmetz. "Let me work. If I draw too much, I do not try to amount. I find of money, I will not work as well. Build a house if you wish and a laboratory. That is all I want."

Reading character by the fingers is almost as absorbing a pastime as telling fortunes with cards or by other means. Long fingers, short fingers, fingers of even length, slim fingers, fat fingers—they all have their own special significance in revealing traits of character.
The next time a number of your friends are gathered together, try reading their traits by their fingers and see how nearly correct are your drawings.
While it is true that the best all-round ability and the best all-round satisfactory character to live with will be found in those whose palms and fingers are of equal length, we must not expect to find the specific distinction along some one well-defined line—with this type of hand.
People whose palms and fingers measure exactly the same length may be trusted to look at things as a whale to pay due and equal regard to their hands working out. Without special talent, they are often versatile, good at many things, but excelling in no one thing.
The long-fingered hand is that of the person who reveals in detail; who has the sense of finish well defined, amplifies and ornaments everything she does. Accountants, bookkeepers, scientists and some inventors have long-fingered hands; although brilliant work has been done in science and inventions by those with short-fingered, well-opened, vivid hands.

Hands with long fingers and narrowed palms belong to censorious fault finders; people who see your faults and never your good qualities.
Good husbands and wives are not forbidden of hand.
Fingers that are shorter than the palm, are, of court, just the reverse.
These belong to impulsive, quick-witted people who cannot be bothered over little things. They are occasionally untidy and generally careless of appearance, they do not care a fig for conventions, for they are a law unto themselves, this last especially if their fingers are well opened. They think and act quickly.
If short fingers are thick and heavy their owners may be brutal; but a short-fingered person will never be collydly together show a conventional nature lacking in dasy and pep.
A very old book on this subject says that a man whose fingers are "well united and close, so that the air can pass between them," will be "very careful in his affairs."
A hand with all the fingers standing well apart shows a decided talent for acting as well as a vivid personality. The first and second fingers well apart indicates originality of thought; these people think for themselves, and will not take their opinions at second hand. Sometimes very clever, studious folks have this indication; but if the other fingers are close-set together there will be a marked lack of self-confidence. The second and third fingers well apart indicate originality in action.

Howard McGregor, research associate in human anatomy and the medical history who recently returned from Europe, where he studied the fossil remains of pithecanthroperectus, or "man ape." The specimens were discovered some years ago at Trilim, Java, by Professor Eugene Dubois, of the University of Amsterdam. Many experts have written about the missing man's with the pithecanthroperectus as their subject.
Professor McGregor said the idea that the man ape may have been a "Woman ape" is based on measurements of the left thigh bone. Instead of being straight up and down the apex, he has a high quality of form similar to a woman's.
Professor McGregor said he was of the opinion that "the specimen was close to man, although not necessarily ancestral.
"As some one has well expressed it," he said, "it may be a great uncle rather than a grandfather."
ICAT HOLDS UP A FAST TRAIN.
Thirty-six Lives Are Saved by Mother Feline's Bravery
ALTOONA, Pa., Nov. 9. "Min," pet cat of the car inspectors here, while strolling along the platform, decided to cross, the tracks with her family. When in the center of the maze of rails the fast, mail rushed into view. An inspector signaled the engineer to stop. The air brakes were put in action and the big train quivered to a standstill. Min, in all the majesty of her motherhood, stood back, book upon paying attention to the big locomotive which had halted only a few feet away. When the engineer of the flier discovered the reason for the stop he declared he was glad to save 36 lives—figuring the cats for nine lives each.
PALL MALL GAZETTE
NOW THING OF PAST
LONDON, Nov. S.—England's oldest newspaper, the Pall Mall Gazette, passes out of existence with today's issue. Its property, leading features and title will be absorbed by the Evening Standard. The original Gazette was founded in 1803. For many years the Gazette was owned by William Walderf Astor, who disposed of it soon after the outbreak of the World War.
This is not a good sign if the first and second are not also well apart; for the owner will lack judgment and will be easily led into folly by those who are around him. He will often prove to be "the cat who pulls the chestnuts out of the fire"—for other people.
The Finger Tips
Pointed finger tips denote ideally, romance, religious fervor, desire for love, adoration, enthusiasm and impressionability.
Square finger tips denote love of logic, exections; these respect law, order and authority; they are tidy in their habits and have talent for language.
Spatulate finger tips denote a love of movement and of excitement; a taste for realism.
The ancients called the first or "index finger" after Jupiter. It governs the moral qualities and should be well formed.
The second finger was named after Sassan the Great, it governs the mental qualities and is dominant in the hands of poets, dreamers and musicians.
The third finger is called after Apollo. It governs the artistic qualities.
These people delight in color, excitement, jeal. They are born hustlers than they practical in business. They can make money better than they stick to it.
The fourth or little finger is called after Mercury. When dominant it indicates tact and ability "to take people by the right handle." It is a bad sign when this finger is naturally crooked. Though ever so slightly; for this sows an inclination towards theft.
EVER since the self-appointed Vigilance Committee of Stowe Township issued orders to Negros to "bent it" within 24 hours, Wylie Avenue has witnessed much "patting and searching" by the police. No, a few times have they searched the rizers in the therion a deadly weapon concealed, but usually find nothing but a pocket knife or no weapon at all. The man in overalls, the shabbily dressed, has been and is the mark for this practice even until now. When weapons are found, the carrier is arrested, tried the next morning and is made a present of a stiff fine and the law, or the relation of the law and also one of the orders of the Police Department to discourage gun-toting, which will in turn eliminate or rather reduce the chances of life losses resulting from petty quarrels and disputes among the frequenters of this famous thoroughfare. And if the man in overalls was the chief law-wizard or a grave character, we would, out of fairness, be compelled to comment the department head who issued such an order and the police who carried it out.
· But the element which contributes most to our problems on Wylie Avenue is not the "blue denim" brother, or he who likes to play craps now and then, or the poker player, nor the hooch hound; it's the man and woman who have desecrated themselves to a most degenerate pursuit as their life work — the peddler of dope. With an exceptional instance here and there the dope peddler is a complex combination, of "stick-up, pick-pocket, confidence-man, and vender of life-ursuping narcotics". He dresses well, converts intelligently,eldom stays in one city. He expresses the ordinary person as a business man or a promoter. At a time when the best of society, but his income is derived from those weak physical "somethings"—called addicts—male and female—white and black.
We should be more bitter against the peddler now than ever because some one has said that "man pays particular attention to those things or conditions which are closest to him." It is getting close to us and who knows when it will reach you. She can be a case, young girl about 25 years old, age is all she become a mother. The doctors say that she cannot live through it because morpheine has eaten away everything necessary to constitute that reserve energy which a mother must have in a crisis of this kind. The baby may live. The father is indifferent and may not claim the child, care for it, educate it—should it live. The influences must be considered. The parents are respectable. The brothers she was in. In her 'teens she was considered beautiful, her form was well proportioned, and admired by all who knew her. Her manner reminded one of the Puritan simplicity. Today, even with the additional health and stamina donated by nature to her female producers, she in no way nearly resembles her former stoop-shouldered, eyes glassy with a stoop-shouldered, eyes glassy indifferent about her clothes and appearance—and about to become a mother.
She, too, was led to believe that the well-groomed man; velour hat, perfect fitting collar, matty tie, business suit, made-to-order shoes, assumed smile, fluent language and liberal pocket-book, was the man who represented the desirable type. But, alas, her first love was one of those peddlers, hence the crisis she is about to face.
The peddlers are not to be found in bunk houses or in overalls, but in the best of hotels and private homes, always well-groomed. When desperate they will operate anywhere and anybody with money is there. They will be in homes or permanent places of residence, therefore, they have no obligations and nothing to respect. They ramble from one city to another, snuffing out lives behind this systematic camouflage. And as stated before, they pick no particular person when desperate. Some of the police know of these characters, but they are not unless citizens interested in the welfare of themselves and their postity become active and help the police. When this patting and searching order goes out again, we hope to see this damnable character included, but the searching must not be confined to the street or to the house. The search and collar lizard must be included. WHAT DOES YOUR ROOMER DO FOR A LIVING?
ROOMING house with thirteen rooms (all occupied), produces a great deal of traffic during the day. An observer forming an opinion without investigating the cause might class this same house as one of prostitution or of gambling. But a resident living in the vicinity for years, and occasionally taking the downstairs stairs is used as a cofeffeeier and lunch room, should know better. Two envious politicians who are always asking for a job, which they cannot fill and discouraging eligible applicants for the same jobs, have assumed the unsalaried responsibilities of chief knockers in the Third Ward. They have attacked every Negro enterprise with the envious aggression that characterizes this building (7) passed up the Jewish hoop peddlers and political elites which control the Negro vote in this same ward. The room in house in question is successful without their patronage and this fact seems to be antagonizing their pet angora. If it wasn't for the fact that they are en

gaged in the work for which they are best fitted, we would advise, but as it is we would content ourselves by extending our large palm of frankness, with the fond hope that some day soon they will embark for the land in which others of their kind are successful in pushing up dainies in the day time and dodging pitch-forks at night.
However, the rooming house has and will continue to pass inspection. No, neither of them have clubs at present.
TWO colored plaincolthesmen, operating on the Hill, have started a crusade against unlicensed venders. This is praiseworthy if it is to include every class of violator. But we doubt whether these men can carry on this crusade successfully, in view of the fact that three shots were fired at Ray Covington just one block from where these same policemen were supposed to have been—and the shooter escaped. The slogan of the police, apparently, is "be where the trouble ain't."
THE Strategy Board appointed a committee to interview Superintendent of Police Jones as to what constituted the difference between DANGER on Fifth Avenue and Wylie Avenue. On Wylie Avenue cellular doors of Italian and French apartments may be left open all day, while on Fifth Avenue one is taking a chance to open up even for air. A reply is expected in the indefinite future.
A PROSPEROUS young athlete and amusement promoter contends that we took an unfair at him in mentioning about the poor accommodations of a certain hall. "Because," he says, "I am an advertiser in The Courier." Whereupon we take the liberty here to diverse from the regular policy of the column, in making an apology, truthful but impractical, to time enlightenment our brother about "Advertising"—an art which we have at least heard of during our sojourn here on earth.
Most colored people seem to associate advertising with donations and philanthropy, with the impression or belief that the man who has the medium of advertising derives the only benefit. If it is a newspaper they seem to think that every respect and courtesy of the man should be given to this illuminator. Advertising, simplified is the dissemination or spreading of intelligence concerning a project, enterprise or condition, formed or about to be formed. The medium for spreading this intelligence can be anything that appeals to either or all of the five senses. The eye and the ear being the two senses most used at present makes it obvious that printed or painted forms and radio broadcasting are the two foremost mediums. The newspaper takes the lead in printed forms because of usage and custom, and because those persons who are successful in newspaper making are particularly able to determine what the recorders like to read and give it to them. Radio broadcasting is still in its infancy and even when fully developed will not have the recording value of a newspaper. The weekly newspaper is the only successful newspaper published by Negroes at present, and it is in the weekly Negro papers, that local and national advertisers seek to spread intelligence concerning their products or intentions to the majority of Negroes—not because they have any particular liking for the many paper staff or because they are interested in working the Negro weeklies to complete favorably with other companies, but because it is a carrier of intelligence and news, just as effective as an individual speaker multiplied by the number of its circulation.
Advertising is an investment, not a donation or expense. For commerce or business does not include or aid the man who has a good idea or product and keeps it to himself alone. Other people must know about it. And when a proposition works up to the place where other people must know about it, advertising is the art or science which takes care of it. When people have adequate mediums of their own they use them. When they don't, they look around for other mediums which will guarantee the most probable security on their investment. When an establishment sends your advertising business they are interested in sending you spread out, your people know of your activities, your intentions, develop your ideas. With real security one can borrow money for six cents on the dollar. But you can't get advertising for less than ten cents on the dollar. Study this comparison. Advertising is a salable product and is associated in no other way with charity or philanthropy than as such. In other words, advertising is marketed the same as food or any other necessity — on a value-for-value basis.
GEORGE WOOD'S Record Shop has one of the most instructive window displays ever seen on Wylie avenue. This is possible through the courtesy of the Gennett Record Company and shows the various mechanical processes of record making. Make it a point to see it.
LET'S hear about that Big Brother Club. Wylie Avenue cannot afford to fall down on a proposition of this kind. Write a letter. Set your own limit. Suggest some persons to share, in it. Get busy now and keep busy until Christmas.
Man Who Placed Dr.J.R.Crossland Now Under Fire
Love Affairs of "Jim-Crow"
Boss of Veterans' Bureau
Brought to Light
Through Alleged Escapades of Col. Forbes.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 8.
(By A. N. P.)—The real meat of the coconut so far as the United State Veteran' Bureau is concerned, is coming to light through an investigation into the affairs of one Col. C. R. Forbes, former director of the bureau, who was appointed the position on the recommendation of "Hell and Maria" Dawes, of Chicago.
The former director is being charged with all kinds of graft, such as selling dope for gold, boothegging liquor, extensive carousals with women, and questionable contracts. Mr. Forbes appointed as his assistant a Col. Ijams, a rabid southerner, who proved to be an obstacle in the path of the Negro veterans of the service. It was under Forbes, also, that Dr. J. R. Crossland, of St. Joseph, Mo., was appointed in charge of the Jim Crow division of the bureau. Not to be outdone by his superior, Crossland, though old and patrician, is said to have diligently engaged in marriage with One of Dr. Crossland's baby dolls was said to have lived in Chicago, and Crossland was charged with making many a love call to Chicago over the official wire. Whether true or not, the Jim Crow director's wife later secured a divorce on grounds in which such charges were included.
With such graft and inefficiency as is charged to Forbes in the bureau, it is now questionable as to just what might be done with or for the Tuskegee hospital. There is a query in the minds of many of just what the bureau which handles so much money so carelessly can amount to. The question is asked: Can it ever be on the level?

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER
LODGE AND FRATERNAL NOTES
Owing to inclement weather, the Fraternal Parade which was to be held on Saturday, October 18 by the Masonic Lyceum Committee, and the Trustees of Prince Hall Temple Association, was called off. The Fraters and friends assembled at Bethel church, Wylie avenue in quite a large number, and by their actions, and appearance, things looked bright for our Masonic Temple in Pittsburgh. The General Committee of Arrangements for the International Council of Knights Templar, Order of Mystic Shrine, and Imperial Council for 1924, will meet Sunday, November 14th at Fraternal Hall. Business of importance. Every member of this committee should be present. Jericho Lodge No. 20, F. & A. M. of Pittsburgh is now undergoing: some of the things that bind you to your obligation. Our Office, Mr. White, has been confined to his bed for two weeks after an operation at the hospital.

Fraternal honors by Egyptian Lodge Knights of Phythias, and Jericho Lodge No. 20 of Pittsburgh, Pa. Bro. Harry Wafford, brother of M. Bro.

BUFFALO
Elite Lodge No. 119, B. P. O. E. of W. are taking steps to securing an Ellt's rest, and will have a special meeting for the purpose of working up enthusiasm among all of the members. The Lodge membership is growing at so rapid a rate. It seems as though no trouble should be encountered along those lines. The offer of Bro. Henry Davis, to turn over his property, that purpose, is commendable. At the last meeting, 2 candidates were initiated and, at the evening meeting, there are 16 more who wish to be taken through the vale of main slaughter and good cheer.
The course of action taken by Bison City Court of Calanthe in the case of sister Ella Kelley, and the payment of dues by the sick sister Brown, is not living up to the principles of Fidelity, Harmony,

and Love. It seems to make some difference whose garden the ox is in. The old saying "Curses like chickens will come home to roost" may that be brought vividly to the minds of the "Powers that bo". It is hoped the sisters will re-consider their action and "Do unto others, as they would have others do unto them".
Bison City Juvenile Court No. 23, O. of C, held their first reception on Saturday evening, and to the credit of the good numbers, it was a success, both financially and socially. The Juvenile Court, under the able leadership of -sister Beatrice M. Dixon, their matron, who is also District Deputy, O. O. C., is fastly marching on to the front row of Fraternal Societies.
Notice have been sent out that Hadji Temple No. 61, N. O. M.

It is understood that the committees in charge are driving hard to outpace the affair of the third Sunday in December, the Temple will close the year by taking 16 or more over the hot sands of the desert.
The meeting called by Court Douglas, No. 8494 A. O. of F., to take steps toward the erection of a memorial in memory of the late J. R. B. Barclay, was attended, and after discussing various methods, it was decided to invite all others to the meeting to be held on the 19th, with a view to forming a permanent organization of the various bodies to assume charge of the movement.

Colored Veterans Fail Indiana American Legion
The American Legion, just back from the San Francisco Annual Convention, welcomed David. Lloyd George, Europe's wonderman and England's most illustrious son, for all Indiana. Hon. Samuel Ralston, the newly Democratic sonator from Indiana; Senator James E. Watson, former Governor James P. Goodrich, all received an ovation when they apeed on the speaker's platform of Cadle Tarnacle before the 15,000 people assembled to hear the honored guest. Strange to say, Democracy was greeted most loudly. Former Senator Liberald B. Browne, the sonator, his absence, Governor McCray and Mrs. McCray were also on the platform.
Most everybody was there but the brother who evidently thought the American Legion of Indiana that voted for the Ku Klux Klan out in California two weeks ago was not particularly solicitous of their presence. Along with the irony of fate, the Rt. Rent. Lloyd George, ex-premier of England, based his plen on the spirit of Lincoln, love, liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness to every citizen not only for prosperous America, but for the world and the peace of Europe.

Texas. The progress of the 12,000 Negroes of America in 60 years could well be forgiven if here recited since there is no other a political nor philanthropical motive hidden anywhere, but the gross absurdity and utter ridiculousness of such a position in view of patent facts about every community that even a blind man knows would cause us to break out with a hearty laugh if it were not a dangerous doctrine upon which to feed our semi-barbarous misses in the revived language of Barnum. We think what the end will be if these fatigues of this supremacy crying "wolfes" in the face of prosperity, good will, brotherly love and the sublimity of peace and contentment throughout this great nation if they are permitted to subly and slandestively usurp the power of free government by "invisible" methods and false doctrine. Such an intolerant statement coming from the head of an organization with an unsavory past cannot help but arouse the peaceful thought of even the most sanguine apostle of watchful waiting.
Pastor "Love-Thief,"
Husband Gets $20,000
BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 8.—A jury in Superior Court Monday handed down a verdict of $20,000 in favor of John R. Mack against William W. Wiley for insistent pastor, for alienation of his wife's affections.
The minister was accused not only of immoral relations, but also of having been a member of leave her husband. The wife was a member of Warfield's church.

Jack Wiggins and His Ten Dancing Fools Packing 'Em In—Arthur Boykin .Next Week.
The Star theater is continuing to bring to the public the best talent available in the theatrical realm today and it is with this viewpoint uppermost in mind that Manager Tannebaum opened the popular little playhouse (Star theater), Monday night to a packed house, featuring Jack "Ginger" Wiggins and his Ten Dancing Fools.
The company consists of 12 people and rings true to its name, riot of dancing and fun. The show is slated for a one-week stay and is featuring Wiggins in the midnight ramble Friday night, doing his stuff in a buck and wing dancing contest. As you well know, Jack Wiggins is reputed to be the best yet in buck and wing dancing. Don't fail to see him perform.
Arthur Boykin Next Week

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER
About Obscene Shows
The following from the pen of Clarence Muse, erstwhile actor, film director and journalist, appeared in The Chicago Enterprise of October 20, under the head of "The Negro Theater:"
"It may be the demand of our public that the stage produce obscene productions, but I do not believe it, for at heart we are a clean people. A tainted play bolstered with smutty scenes, suggestive jokes and immoral costumes puts a dent in the better nature of every one who patronizes it. Why should the Negro theater, so young, so full of potentiality, start in missing so widely the purpose of the true stage? It is in the power of the Negro theater to uplift, even while entertaining, the morals of a race. The stage, of all things, should be clean and every spoken line and every bar of music should be a tonic and not a sedative to a man's moral nature The stage should educate the people up to accepting nothing but clean, wholesome productions. 'Bend a twig while it is young—that is to say, that while the Negro theater is in its infancy let it fulfill its purpose, that of elevating the morals of the race to a higher and fuller existence. The writer thinks as oldtimers always think—that clean plays never go begging for patronage."
At The Elmore
The appearance of the famous Lindsay quartet in the latest song hits, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, a big midnight ramble Friday night and the second appearance of Lois B. Deppe and his recording serenaders on November 22, 23, 24, 'mark the highlights in the rounds of features being brought to the Elmore theater in the near future.
Popularity Gains
The show house is continuing' its reign of popularity among music lovers and one often hears it said that the Elmore has "brought downtown into the Hill" so far as high-class releases are concerned.
Pullman Porters InNewYorkDance
NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 9—"Swinging down the Lane" will be used as a merry making slogan by the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club, Monday evening, Nov. 12 at New Star Casino, 107th st. and Lexington ave., where they will give their Armistice Frolic and Dansant in celebration of those members who went: "Over the Top" in the late war. J. L. Perkins, chairman of the entertainment, declares this affair will surpass any ever given by this organization. That being true, friends may confidently look forward to an evening crowded with pressure and satisfaction, for these Pullman boys are noted for the royal manner in which they generally entertain their guests. Preparations have been made for a record breaking crowd. Prof. Cecil Smith with his Famous Saxophone Band of 25 pieces will furnish the dance music.
Tickets, Loges and Boxes may be secured at the Pullman Porters Athletic Club, 105 W. 136th st.
Red Dresses Set Men Wild
When a girl wears a red dress on the occasion of a date with her sweetie, it's something like waving a red flag before a bull. It makes the young man wild. On the other hand, blue is disarming. It soothes a man and "leads him on in a nice way."
These precious bits of information are contained in the first lesson of the Chicago Y. W. C. A.'s course on "etiquette" for business girls, and are claimed by Miss Emily Jack Duncan, a secretary in charge, to be among the first things every young girl ought to know.
It is admitted, however, that some young men are color blind or willfully oblivious to the alleged soothing influence of "baby blue."
However, the business girls are told, they also owe it to the sheikh and to themselves, in case it's one of those old-fashioned parlor dates, to keep the red curtains and rugs out of the livingroom. Red always tends to lead toward a disaster of some sort, the Y. W. C. A. avers, and "nice girls" will avoid it.
Little girls in blue, it is contended, appear to have nicer dispositions than little girls in green, which, while pleasant, hands out the subconscious impression that the pretty wearer has mercenary ideas concealed in the back of her head, even if it isn't so. Brown, it is also advanced, is almost sure to scare a youth away because it doesn't "call out his protective instincts."
Meet Us In Cleveland, O., August, 1924
Cleveland, Ohio, was very fortunate in landing the seventeenth Annual Grand Session and Second Encampment of the Fraternal Order of Ancient United Knights and Daughters of Africa, of United States and its Possessions, August 4th to 8th, 1024. And the General Committee are making every effort to have a grand affair, and there are no reasons why they should not, because the good people of our City are assisting us in every way—"we find no refusals" and we are thanking them in advance for their liberality toward us. — Colonel James H. Thomas, General Chairman; Lieutenant Anna Craighead, General Secretary.
"Barney Google" Fined!
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Nov. 9.—Patrick Kane lives in a shack on the outskirts of the city and owns an old gray horse. Two weeks ago the sheriff arrived at the shack at the conclusion of a wrestling match between Kane and his equine pal.
It developed that Kane had attempted to induce the horse to get in his bed. The animal refused, hence the wrestling. Patrick lost.
Next night he renewed his orders. "Lay down," he commanded, after Nig was led into the shack. But the horse remained standing. Patrick applied the headlock, and the rickety building collapsed when Nig retaliated.
An amateur Barney Google, badly battered and disillusioned, paid $5 and costs for disturbing the peace.
Story of the Girl On Your Penny
Have you some pennies ready to take to. Sunday school? Look at them carefully and see if you can find the picture of a little girl. Perhaps on some you have a picture of Lincoln, and on others the picture of an Indian, but you have none that you can find with the picture of a girl.
Look at the Indian again carefully. Take a bit of paper and cover up the feathers so you can just see the face. Doesn't it look like a girl's face? It is, and there is a story about it, too.
The little girl's name was Sarah, and she lived in Philadelphia. Her father worked in the mint, the place where the money is made. One day some Indians visited their city. They wore their blankets and headdress. Sarah's father invited them to his house. One of the big Indian chiefs liked Sarah so well that he took off his headdress of feathers and put it on her. She looked so nice that an artist who was there made a sketch of her wearing the bright-colored feathers.
Not long after, a new design for the pennies was needed. Sarah's father engraved the sketch of his little daughter in the chief's headress. He sent it to the men who were to choose the pattern. These men thought that this was the best of all those that were offered; so Sarah's picture went on the new shining coins.

Mrs. Cordella Winn, National City Secretary from New York, spent a couple of days with Branch, which means much to the entire membership. A committee of management necessary to promote the work has been recently appointed. This is the first step in this direction taken by the Branch, and it is hoped that at the annual meeting of the Board of Management these committees will be permanently elected. The General Education Committee at its meeting voted to promote the following educational classes: pro ided there are as many as ten registrations in for the same: Dressmaking, Millinery, English Voice Culture, Violin and Piano. They are urging that all two are interested in either of these classes register at the Branch Office immediately. The music classes are already active and the committee recommended the same teachers to this year. At the House Committee meeting it was voted that two members of the committee would inspect the house and buy the supplies each week. The membership committee arranged for the beautiful recognition service which was held by the National City Secretary, Mrs. Cordella Winn.

more than he could stand. He startled for the doorway, but when half way he felt his pride drawing him back. No, he felt, it would never do for him to run away and leave the Negro master of the field, much as the situation exasperated him. He began pacing the room, his body swaying with the motion of the train. He began to ask himself, would he be angry? He confessed to him that it was he who had started the discussion, and that the Negro, at no time, was even disrespectful. Indeed, he felt, for fascination for the frank and courteous bearing of the man. This man, he knew, was telling the truth. Why, he asked himself, should he be angry at hearing the truth? In the analysis many points between right and policy in the treatment of the Negro dawned upon him. The more concretely he saw the matter the less he liked the stand he had always taken. In thoughtful vein he resumed his seat, and relapsed into thought, as if for minutes he demanded, as if he flaked the ashes from his cigarette with nigger: "Am I to assume, then, that prejudice against the Negro is a distinctly American trait?"
"No," responded the other who had been furiously watching the play of emotions on his face. "Color prejudice, or, more strictly, color egolism, is not a purely American trait. It exists in the Dominion of South Africa, being very keen in the former republics; in that part of Canada inhabited by Angle-Saxon, in parts of British West Africa, and to a certain extent in Cuba and the British West Indies. Cologotu is, however, one of the most places in this country, one of places mentioned does it not extend to lynching and burning alive, not even in the Transvall or Orange Colony, where the dislike is perhaps even stronger than in the South. In all of the countries intelligence and self-respect, in no matter whom, is respected. Cultured Negroes suffer little discrimination. It must be remembered that the Negro in the United States is far ahead of the South African one. The percentage of illiteracy among the Negroes of Natal is not less than 90 per cent. The Negro in the United States, broadly speaking, is ahead of the Negro everywhere else. In all of the countries I have mentioned color prejudice is directed chief-
ly against the ignorant Negro an attitude none the less wrong. In the United States, the distinction is made between good and bad, cultured and uncultured. Indeed, the refined Negro is often singled out as the especial object of attack, while the lower class one — the 'Uncle Tom' kind, is more popular, that kind being the one more idealized in white literature. From this, one may justly argue that in the United States we have color jealousy, not color prejudice; not contempt, but fear; and that the situation is maintained by the whites as a smoke screen for their own defects. In Europe the stronghold of the white race, instead of finding color joy, I more often of the United States I have everywhere thrust at me that I am not wanted. Even in remote Northern villages like Merrill, Wise. I have been hooted or refused food. As I travel over this country the greatest trouble I have as to have food served me. There are towns in the North where the most self-respecting Negro is not permitted to pass a night; there are towns in Texas and the South where if I but step from the train to the ground I do so at the peril of my life. Yet are the Americans of the Americans. Our parish woven in the most intimate texture of the fabric of the Republic. We antedated Pilgrim Fathers by one year, but while their descendants constitute the nobility of America we are in the discard. This cannot be due
to lack of accomplishments, as we have done far more than the Indian. The Spartan was not more unfinishingly loyal to his country than are we. Yet even the but yesterday-arrived alien, whom our forefathers and we have fought to make and to perpetuate this republic, have far more actual rights than—soley because of this more popular color. Although the Negro thinks in pretty much the same channels and has generally the same habits, class for class as the whites, not to speak of good relationship, the attitude is to speak of all Negroes as if they had just come from Africa. Baron d'Estournelles de Constantine of the French Senate de undoubted right when he says in his book on this country, 'The Negro is a freedman, not a citi-
"But the Negroes in the South American countries and the West Indies belonged to a higher type of African," replied the Senator. "The most peaceful ones were taken to those countries, while the most cannibalistic were brought to us."
"You will find in reading the history of the West Indies that the slave-holders there made a reverse complaint with far juster cause. A general massacre of the whites like that at Cape Francois, Haiti, in 1791, was no uncommon occurrence. And after all, why shouldn't a man be wartlike in defense of his freedom?
"The Negro in every part of the world, I have noticed, is just what his treatment makes of him. In Brazil and Jamaica I found him keenly conscious of his dignity as a man and a citizen. In the United States, where numbers are against him and where he is compelled to
"Sid" was John M. Siddall, late editor of The American Magazine, who died of cancer in July last. His was a philosophy that appealed to all; his was an inspiration worthy of perpetuation. After he knew cancer had a death grip upon him he held on, refusing to be robbed of the joy of living to the last moment. Life to "Sid" was a critical game, fascinating, inviting, thrilling. He taught Americans the beauty of hustle, the romance of achievement through seemingly insurpassable odds. He taught them to laugh, to have energy of humor — clean, healthful, intelligent. He believed in the American spirit and the American system. This means every man has a chance, no matter how low his station. He says again:
South treats the Negro far better than the North. What do you notice after passing the Mason-Dixon line coming North? That nearly all the work done by black men in the South is done by white. In the South most of the manual labor is given them. We have a large number of brakemen, locomotive engineers and other occupations from which they are barred by the unions in the North. They find ready employment in Southern factories, while they find great difficulty in getting into Northern ones. Then our unskilled labor is generally given to them. Jaritors, porters, waiters and domestics are all Negroes. In the North these jobs are filled by white foreigners. The Southern white man is far more sympathetic to the Negro. We know his failings make allowances for him, where he is held to the same standard as the white man without the white man's choices. The black man knows he can always find a friend in us. Many have I helped, many have I saved from prison. I have a cook that has been with us for 38 years. That man, white or black, that would hurt Aunt Hepsy would have to reckon with me first. No matter what you say you could never convince me that the North is a better place for your people than the South."

slink, as it were, through life, afraid to go into this or that place, wondering whether he will be served, he is naturally timid and inclined to be spiritless. The other day the head of one of the most famous educational institutions in the world, and his wife, were ejected from sleeping car on account of color. A similar incident would have happened nowhere else in the world. Sir Charles Bruce, with his vast Colonial experience, very rightly said at the Universal Races Congress that the American Negro had encountered at every step of his progress 'the most formidable opposition that the forces of avarice, jealousy, hate and fear have been able to command.' While I have met many whites who, in spite of their environment, are quite as unprejudiced as those I met in Europe or anywhere else. I have noticed, North, South, East and West, and general an exhibition of this feeling, oftimes from one world, think above such petty things, that I have been forced to the conclusion that, far more often than not, a white skin in America is the livery of servitude to the most stupid and exacting of all tyrants—Czar Prejudice. These slaves are of varying degrees—from the fanatically devoted as the lyncher to the morally timid—those who will not speak to intimate Negro acquaintances on the street for fear of what passerbly will think."
The Senator did not reply. Dixon did not reply. "I doubt if one white person in a million of those who do not like Negroes could give himself one honest reason for his attitude. Lord Brougham expresses their reason when he says: I never knew anyone to hate me, but those who I had served and those who had done me some great injustice. The plea is certainly not one of color, nor any of the European, who sees little of Negro prejudice against them? Why also the greatest amount of racial intermittence that has always gone on? People from certain European countries come to this country in search of great individual liberty, and find it; too; yet the Negro, an original citizen of the United States, never knows how it feels to be a real man when he goes to those countries whence the people came, as Russia, when it was under the Czar. And what makes it harder to bear is that one hears so many effusions about liberty, democracy and unlimited opportunities for all. When I returned to the United States, after I had been away six years, I ended up at a Southern park, libraries and places of public amusement. I felt in this boasted land of freedom what the murderer of King Humbert must have experienced in his cell, the size of which did not permit him either to stand upright or to lie at full length."
"But," objected the Senator, "the

(Continued From Page 9.)
"There is a street in this world called Easy. It is not given to most of us ever to reach it in our travels. For some reason we never seem to get that far. But there is a curious fact about Easy street. A lot of people who are fortunate enough to push their way up to it, haven't got sense enough to turn into it when they get there. They go straight across it and continue plowing forward on the more or less expensive avenues that surround them on their way. The names of some of the thoroughfares that run up to Easy street, cross it, and continue are as follows:
"Privation Lane, No Vacation Boulevard, Stingy Street, Night Work Avenue, Dollar Avenue, Overdo Alley, Economy Road,
Starvation Soul Avenue, Early and Late Street, Killjoy Lane.
"On these streets, long after thee have passed Easy street, you will see the pinched, unhappy faces of occasional travelers—mean, ugly, unintelligent and greedy fools. Miserly ignoramuses who didn't know enough to turn into Easy street when they had the chance."
For anyone feeling "down-and-out," Sid's is a reinvigorating philosophy.
M. R. ROBERT S. ABBOTT, editor and publisher of the Chicago Defender, made a trip to South America in February and returned in May.
He has written a series of vividly descriptive articles on the merits and demurits of his adventures. Brazil is Mr. Abbott's fighting piece. He urges immigration to Brazil—not a "wholesale exodus," but "the Negro with a trade or profession, who has some money and desires to go into business." It is a compliment to the North American Negro that he has produced an editor able to take a trip. The South Americans must have been well impressed, indeed, with our economic climbing. Negro newspaper men have a hard row to hoe. But Mr. Abbott's mind seems to travel in a curious circle. He seems to be wrapped up in "social freedom," or "social expansion"—yet he likes this country, admitted. He says: "In Brazil neither commercial nor social restrictions attach themselves to any man on account of race." Again:
"It was a delight beyond words to have observed the social life of the Negro, say, in Brazil, where, untrammeled by any racial feeling, he is climbing higher and higher in the scale of achievement."
Yet:
"The base of the future achievements of the Negro will remain, as now in the United States. It abruptly will be halted between two opinions. This apparently is what he would like to see in America:
"But today even in this town, slavery has left no social inconveniences for the Negro. More, the white sons and daughters of those former slave holders have intermarried and mixed freely with those who are the descendants of slaves." We know that to a great extent this is true in the United States, but it was never popularly accepted. This writer thinthes the race had best seek intra-racial social development rather than inter-racial.
FREDERICK HOUK, LAW, biographer and author of "Poor Boys Who Became Great," a syndicated newspaper feature, has now and again taken Negroes for his subjects.
Writing of James Hood, the Negro bishop, he says
Corpse lay here and there on the battlefield. Wounded man writened in pain. Little groups of helpers hurried from man to man, giving what aid they could. Among those who were helping was a young Negro about thirty years of age. His soldier, but that he was a chaplain or minister. Serious-faced, kindly, with gentle hands that spoke deep sympathy, he cared for the wounded.
"Who is he?" asked a white man who belonged to another group "Jim Hood," one of the company replied. "Jim" Hood. He's a minis-

PREACHER ABLE TO RESUME OLD LEADERSHIP
L. L. Woods, Pittsburgh Minister,
Workers' Fraises, Health Builders
"I was in sunch a run-down condition. I had such a poor appetite that I could not study my sermons, and I had a continuous headache. I have stood up in my pulpit expounding the gospel so sick I could hardly see. I was so run-down that I could not go among my flock, was forced to let the elders be the number of my congregation finally told me about Todd's Tonic and I took it. I now have a fine appetite and I can put more force and energy into my sermons. I can once more stand in my pulpit feeling full of health and vigor. My whole system is benefited and I sleep well at night. Once more I am able to go among my flock and cheer them and help them along life's way. Todd's Tonic has enabled me to take my place once more as a leader of my church. I recommend because I have seen who is run down from studies or overwork." — L. L. WOODS, 7324 Tloga Street, Pittsburgh, Pa., Minister

ter—you know—to those black fellows. Poor chaps, they fought like tigers! There isn't a thing "Jim" Hood wouldn't do for them—and they know it."
The other man continued to watch the kindly work that the black minister was carrying on. "Minister, is he? Did he come from the south? Where'd he learn enough to be a minister?" "No, he's no southern black. He came from the north, just as you and I did, but I don't know where. All I know is he's a real man."
At another time, when telling of Paul Cuffee, the Negro Sea Captain, he wrote:
Shortly after the close of the American Revolution a group of people from New England stood on a wharf and looked at a sailing vessel that had just come in from the open sea.
"That's Cuffee's boat," said one of the men. "He's a strong man, and a good sailor. He comes and goes and he always wins in from storm and dangert."
"Aye, and he always makes for ports where money is to be gained," laughed the other man.
"Unless I am mistaken he is piling up a fortune."
"Whatever else he is, he's a true man," came the answer. "He is a man of religion, a Friend, and not one of these rip-roaring capitals in inland the sea, and do little except drink and gamble and carouse."
"Aye, black though he is, he is a real man."
The one of whom they were speaking, Paul Coffee, the master of the ship that had just come to anchor, was indeed a remarkable man, one of the most remarkable men in the history of the United States."
Thousands of white boys and girls read these sketches every morning; speaks well for our "fairness" in school; lifts up words Negro characters, especially when the most white people see of us in the morning papers is something bad.
Other sketches written by Mr. Law have been "Frederick Douglass, the Slave Boy, the Great Orator," "Paul Dumbar, the Elevator Boy, the Great Negro Poet," and "Coloridge Taylor, the Great Negro Musician."
Death of Farmhand Cloaked in Mystery
MERIDIAN. Miss. Nov. 8. After he had been called to the home of Lee Kennedy by the latter's wife, Arch Johnson, Negro farmhand, was set upon and killed by the husband of the white, who also struck her in the head. The two men engaged in a struggle from which Kennedy emerged with a few scars.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE
By James N. Simms, L. L. D.
Author of Simms' Blue Book, etc.
One of the hardest things for any one to do is to choose the business or profession that he should enter upon, for his career in life.
A young man may be highly fitted to make a good doctor, but has no qualifications at all for a lawyer and vice versa. Another may have all the natural qualifications necessary to make an efficient merchant, but may be incapable of succeeding as a restaurant proprietor. We might go through the whole calendar of professions, trades, and the different kind of businesses and find that where one is fully qualified by natural personal arguments to enter a certain profession, trade or business, that he may in no wise be qualified for some other profession, trade or business.
You no doubt know stances where men advantage that educing could afford, buteed along the life chosen, while on the may know of men training is very limited opportunities to suren be at all encaust men are meeting wwide spite of their handle have natural qualifi careers chosen, and the case where one tunte to choose the
Of course it does not one has natum him that he cannot trai
It often happens that one chooses and enters upon a career that he from natural qualifications is incapable of carrying on. After having wasted a number of years, he finds that he cannot succeed in the career that he has selected, and must abandon it and take up some other job. In the meantime his new capital and energy have been lost and can never be regained. It is therefore important that one gets the right start.
To select the profession, business trade or employment that one is best suited to pursue, is by no means an easy task. Nearly every person at some time has shown special qualifications for a certain kind of vocation. When these tendencies are shown, they should be heeded.
It is true that training along certain lines fits one for certain careers but where one has natural qualifications to which it is added special training for a profession, business or trade, it makes success easy to attain and the career more brilliant

You no doubt know of many instances where men have had every advantage that education and training could afford, but could not succeed along the lines they have chosen, while on the other hand you may know of men whose educational training is very limited, and whose opportunities to succeed have not been at all encouraging. You have great success—making wonderful progress in spite of their handicaps. Such men have natural qualifications for the careers chosen, and such is usually the case where one has been fortunate to choose the right careers. Of course it does not follow that unless one has natural ability to aid him that he cannot succeed. Education and special training will fit a man for almost any undertaking, but no amount of education or training ever will be sufficient. Musicians, orators, great lawyers, surgeons, great financiers, and the world's foremost leaders are born, not made.
So every one who contemplates entering upon any kind of a career should ascertain whether he has natural qualifications for doing the thing that he has chosen. Every man to his own calling. If you can be satisfied that you are naturally qualified to do a certain thing, you have a great advantage over a deficient who cannot make a definite decision. Follow the natural bend of your mind when you are trying to decide what you shall do, and do not enter any profession, business or trade because you know of some one else who is succeeding in that particular line.
Consider carefully your natural attainments, your training and mental tendencies to assist you in deciding on the career that you shall enter.

The People's Stand, which devotes its efforts entirely to the handling of Negro papers and periodicals, reports an increasing desire for race news among the reading public. The people of this town and community and the general South are gradually growing weary reading papers that tell only of the activities of the white race, and in which our people are brought to publicity only when they are identified with some crime, and are finally turning to their own papers. We as representatives of Negro News in this town do appreciate this spirit of progressiveness in our customers. In a recent contest among the boys selling colored papers and periodicals William Nelson won.

taxi together with Miss Isdorea Nixon, 18, 309 W. Biddle street, to take them home. The three men first went by a garage for a supply of gasoline and then took the Nixon girl home first. After riding a few minutes in the machine Miss Brown stated that she had a suspicion that the men were not taking her directly home and told them so.

She made an attempt to leave the machine, but was manhandled by the three men, each of them accomplishing their purpose. She was then thrown from the car and reported the matter to the police, who upon her description arrested two of the men still driving the car.

Race Officer in Italy Displays Real Fortitude
TURIN, Italy, Nov. 8. (By A. N. P.)—Something of a sensation was created here by the fortitude shown by Lieut. Albergo, Negro officer of the Italian army, during an operation for injuries sustained when bombs were exploded before Premier Mussolini.

DOG EAT DOG
DOWN in Atlanta, the home of the rejuvenated Ku Klux Klan, a frothing Klansman entered the office of the Klan lawyer who fought for the Simmons faction and shot the barrister dead. The Evans faction is charged with the murder.
Negroes, Jews and Catholics, all over the country, may take courage from this recent "renewal of declaration of principles" by the higher-ups in the Invisible Empire. The lawyer who was murdered had represented the Simmons faction, and the reported murderer was the editor of the Klan journal. The editor is one of the leaders of the Evans faction. The two factions are at war over the money collected and supposedly squandered. The "gentlemen" just could not hide their "beliefs" in the Constitution long enough to abide by it; but losing control of that 100% Americanism they have made to suit their convenience, they commit larceny and murder with a recklessness which would make Jesse James bow his head as an amateur.
As long as they confine their strenuous activities to their own ranks, the world will have little objection to their disorder, and certainly no sympathy for their dead.
And we repeat: The only men who join the Ku Klux Klan are the white men who belong to the class "lower down." Meanwhile, we have the pleasure of standing on the side lines as disinterested observers, while dog cats dog

ARMISTICE DAY TO ME
PURSUANT to proclamations issued all over the United States, the 11th day of November will be observed with much eclate and military pomp. It is Armistice Day.
Without discussing how far we are from World Peace, and without any reference to the fighting now going on in Europe, we may be pardoned if we say our celebration is slightly premature. Armistice Day will never take its place in history until the World war is closed—to remain closed for all time. Men are not enthusiastic about going to war any more for Democracy, and an ephemeral World Peace which does not follow the cessation of battle. We have been listening now since 1918 for the peace predicted and the Humanity promised when our boys were sailing away to the tune of "Over There." Memories are not so fleeting when filled with broken pledges and promises made with wild abandon. Men and women who aided in the winning of the war are awaiting to enter into the peace they gave their all to insure.
The colored soldiery of the country will march—with irregular and scattered ranks. They, of all men who braved the Germans, are the most disappointed. Many of them misinterpreted Democracy, while others hoped for Utopian days when it was all over. These disappointments express-them themselves in an indifference all too prevalent. This country could do no greater service to its soldiery than to reassure it, all alike—that the ideals and objectives of their government are always worth fighting for—yea, dying for. A little more of the practical Democracy will make Armistice Day mean what the boys thought it meant on November 11, 1918.

Industries Like Gambling Says Atlanta Independent

The Atlanta Independent likens industries to gambling in an editorial on "Migration Has Its Disadvantages:"
Migration, like anything else, can be overdone, and we seriously fear that the movement has been overworked. The gradual movement of a group of people from one section of the country to another section is not necessarily a bad omen, but the wholesale shifting of a group of people as a class from one section of the country to another, is fraught with many dangers to the economic welfare of the section depopulated, and gives rise to perplexing problems in the sections receiving the influx, or overflow, or surplus population.
Temporary advantages do not always justify a people in leaving the section of temporary disadvantages. Disadvantages today, in the fitness of things, may prove to be advantages tomorrow, and the migrant should be certain of his game before he pulls up stakes, burns the bridge behind him and settles in a new land where he knows neither the conditions nor the people.
Industries are very much like gambling. When one section is prosperous, another section, like the gambler, is losing in economic opportunity. While we are not opposed to any American taking up his habitat wherever it pleases him best, we are undoubtedly opposed to insane, unrestricted, misguided migrations, induced by the tale of high wages and new privileges.

The Electrification of Steam Railways in Pittsburgh
United States are today practically all changing some portion of their lines to electric motive power. A majority of the railways entering the large Eastern cities are electrified so far as the portion operated within the limits of those cities is concerned.
A contributed editorial by Charles W. Dahlinger
(In The Pittsburgh Sun)
To those who have always lived and had their being within the limits of Pittsburgh, the welfare of the city has been of absorbing interest. As they look back over the years that are past, they cannot help realizing that what they have been wonderful. Yet when they become critical they see once that there is still room for further improvement
The principal railways entering Pittsburgh are the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, and the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie. These companies are, all connected with railways which have lines in other places where electric motive power is used. The trains on the Pennsylvania in probably all its entrances into New York City are propelled by electricity, and the company's Philadelphia connections are also largely so operated. The New York Central, which controls the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie, is electrified in New York City and in other cities and towns in the state of New York. Why then has Pittsburgh, where the freight tonnage is so enormous and profitable as to cause comment in other places, been neglected?
The city has a number of important railways centering here which are helping to increase not only its material prosperity and wealth, but are also largely instrumental in increasing the culture and refinement, and the health and happiness of the people. The railways, however well they may be managed, and however beneficial they are to the community, in one respect at least, have not been conducted entirely for the best interest of the public, nor have they kept abreast of the times. They still use coal, and that largely of the bituminous variety, although there is a city ordinance forbidding its use in locomotives while passing through the municipality or while being shunted about in the railway yards. The whistle of the engines, the din of their bells and the smoke and cinders and dust emitted and blown about by the wind, often disfiguring the landscape for long distances, are as bad now as they were thirty years ago. The dust and the smoke still disfigure the exterior of the houses and penetrate into the interior to the great damage of the houses and their contents, and to the injury of the health of the occupants. The cost of living in Pittsburgh has greatly increased as a result. If the railways were operated by electricity, all this loss and discomfort would be avoided. Why then have they not been electrified so far as they are operated in the Pittsburgh district?
Electricity as a motive power on the street railways in Pittsburgh has been in use for many years and no property along their lines is damaged by smoke or cinders or dust, nor is the health of the occupants affected by the shriek of whistles or the din of bells. It has been argued for the steam railways that they are operated over their own private rights of way which distinguishes them from the street railways. But does it, so far as the smoke and dirt and din emitted by their locomotives is concerned? Then why not begin a movement for a change in this particular? Does not the city possess the power to regulate the railways operated within its limits? There is already a strong sentiment in favor of such change and all that is necessary is that the railways should be made to the proper officials. Then it will become their duty to bring it about, and they will no doubt willingly undertake the task if backed by public sentiment. If once accomplished, it would mean a cleaner, brighter, healthier, happier place to live in. Property would enhance in value and the cost of living be reduced. More people would come here to live; fewer people would move away.
Electricity as a motive power on steam railways has been in successful operation in the United States and Europe for at least a score of years. The electrification of steam railways, particularly in this country, is growing every year. In 1910 there were in the United States and Canada 873 miles of track so operated, which in 1920 has increased to 3,370. The leading railways of the

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER
OPINION
Editor
By Chandler Owen
Messenger Magazine
It was Richard T. Ely who said "People offer from lacks. First, a lack of goods for the higher wants. Second, a lack of wants for the higher goods. Types of wants are essential to be satisfied. For appreciation it is obvious that if one continues his wants will atrophy; and, vice versa, if no desires and yearnings for higher things there is a likelihood that he will get them because he will put forth to attain the higher goods.
What do we mean by higher wants? The finest education, culture, real estate, personal property, main rights, and all those subdued and finer interests when embellished by poetry, music and art are a beautiful and irresistable charm over human life. This means that our young meh and women should have limitations than merely to wear gaudy clothing to display monds and jewelry, and ape the rich in consuming beverages and viands which they can ill afford. This has become too true of the city life of today. Our young men, women are too prone to mere "society" life. It is all the same and no back. We might call it a sort of "honey" existence. Again, there is a group amongst us which is satisfied to earn money irrespective of the source. For instance many of our cities the leading Negroes have earned the money or secured their property by the running of gaudy dens, speak-easy joints, houses of ill-fame, and other crimes and illegal practices. Moreover, there is a type which little regard for manhood rights. This group will shirk mouth, turn its head, or wink its eye at any sort of profession, caste and wanton narrowing of race opportunities long as it can hold political jobs or be contained in protection. Sometimes a group is not particularly seeking financial gain, but simply desires to be left alone and free from activity.
This easy-going group is a menace because of its size, commission. Those who oppose are less dangerous than apathetic, the lethargic, the inert, and the indifferent. cause the will to combat is not far from the will to kill. This group will throw away thousands of dollars in cash but will not give a cent to a fight against segregated schools. jim-crow cars, discrimination in public amusement, or an anti-lynching bill.
Of course these classifications do not include all Negroes, even though the race may marshall a few thousand battalions out of this drone class. Pressure must be brought to rid ourselves of this group, and if riddance be too difficult, then to reduce it to a minimum. There is need of carrying dead wood, especially when the load too heavy at best. We have observed for some time Negroes do not lack money so much as they do the organization of their dollars, along with the ambition to make the dollars bring in the greatest return. We, by no means, blind to the economic condition of the Negro, yet we are fairly certain that among his great needs is the need breathe into his soul the breath of manhood ambition, that this moribund man of color may have life, and have more abundantly.
in alliance with rather than in defiance of these fundamentals, or like a machine designed in ignorance of the principles of mechanics, they constitute themselves a danger to the community.
The WHAT NOT
From Among The Best
The Negro press has had its say about C. Bascom Slemp, the secretary to the President, and the Norfolk Journal and Guide brings news and comment to the effect that the Virginian may withdraw his services, which incidently, we may say, is too good to be true. Under title: "Bascom Slemp Misplaced," the Journal and Guide writes:
News has been dripping out of Washington that Mr. C. Bascom Slemp, the Secretary to the President, has gained no more of the confidence of President Coolidge than other politicians on the outside who have been making a brave effort to dig in. It is given out that the President has no confidence, no inseparable companion, but that he flocks by himself and consults himself about men and affairs, and that Mr. Slemp so far dislikes this sort of thing that he is thinking of stepping down as Secretary to the President when the first favorable opportunity will allow him to do so with becoming grace and other things. This attitude of the Presidential Sphynxism must not only be surprising, but very painful to Mr. Slemp, with whom we are unable to sympathize a little bit because he ceased to sympathize with us after he became a millionaire, and did not care to serve his Virginia constituents in Congress any longer and did not, consequently, need any Afro-American votes.
Has Mr. C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia been displaced as Secretary to the President in such a way as to make him look with favor upon retiring from the high and commanding position? Washington gossips who write for the Big Newspapers have it that way.
Underwood's Presidential Boom
Since Oscar W. Underwood, United States Senator for Alabama, as sailed the Klan in a public speech in Houston, Texas, October 27. Since it is known Senator Underwood has presidential aspirations, his statement is puzzling. In an editorial in the Birmingham Reporter we get our folks viewpoint, as follows:
When the friends of Mr. Underwood started him out on his long and tedious journey for the presidency of the United States, it did not strike the public mind as a very sincere movement and opinions were advanced, many to the effect that Mr. Underwood would not accept the call. None, regardless of their opposition to the Senator, will for a moment question his ability nor his grasp on the members of his party, nor the high esteem in which he is held by statesmen generally of the nation. And but for the section from which he comes, Mr. Underwood no doubt would go into the convention in 1924 almost without opposition. But he is a Southern product and must carry into the convention all of its illus and suspicions, the apocalyptic notions and its disregard for law and order — no righty big to the least.
The colored race has not thought very kindly of Mr. Underwood since his uncompromising and vigorous attack on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill is a measure directed at the wickedness of the South, the birthplace of savage evil. Mr. Underwood fought in protection of his section, pleading always that it was a local matter and should be left in the hands of the several states.
The utterance of Senator Underwood in his Texas address is a long step forward in an effort to save our nation from riots, lynchings and the gorilla proceedings in the administration of our laws by self-constituted authority.
It is not to be understood that we are moved to these expressions because Senator Underwood happens to be a Southerner, an Alabama Senator and hails from our city, Birmingham, but the same measure of thought would be forthcoming if any man of the South or of the nation had spoken as did Senator Underwood. Yet we know that to eradicate these Southern evils the program must begin with Southern men.
At present there is considerable discussion on "Evolution and Creation." There has always been what may be deemed a conflict between science and religion.
Science is the accumulated and accepted knowledge systematized and formulated with reference to the discovery of general truths or the operation of general laws. Religion deals with faith, worship and belief. Science deals with the study of the material world and the transformation of energy from which may be deduced mechanical, thermal, electrical and chemical phenomena. In the teaching of science every phenomena or law is a logical sequence from the Inductive and deductive reasoning of accumulated data. In the Christian religion the priests, ministers or preachers as the case may be, get hold of the child and confront it with all of the end products of the philosophy of the childhood of the world. God and the soul, heaven and hell, angels, spirits, the mysteries of the Trinity, Resurrection and what not, almost before it can walk. Philosophies are the epitomized expressions of the understanding of the age in which they originated and are not suited as stepping stones from which a totally immature or uneducated mind can leap to the inheritance of ages. It leaps rather into chaos and absurdity and philosophies are apt to convey meanings as remote from the original idea as the conception of energy or force is from that of the Deity.
From early times man has been trying to transform energy and has boasted and glorified in his physical strength. He takes pride in this force as the ultimate arbiter. Christianity since the time of Christ has inculcated the opposite creed and is largely used by civilized nations as the ostensible principle of their internal private relationships, but it has never been adopted by any nation in its international relationships. The principle of force as ultimate arbiter in international quarrels has remained unchallenged, and from this standpoint Christianity is an absolute failure. Science has multiplied man's powers many fold, and increased his capacity both of construction and destruction. Religion surely has not decreased his powers for destruction and doubtless has aided him much in his powers of construction. So, in this respect, as in others, they still are vastly different, and if religion is to be an effective agency in the future it must be adapted to suit the conditions of the time.
Philosophies, codes, political systems and religions must follow the lead of science and range themselves
