Senate Turns Down Cohen Nomination New Orleans Man Rejected For Third Time As Controller of Customs. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The United States Senate has rejected the nomination of Walter L. Cohen, Louisiana colored Republican leader, for the post of controller of customs at the port of New Orleans. This action came as an answer to President Coolidge, who sent in Cohen's name for the customs post several days ago. The into President Hardling sent Cohen's name to the Senate twice, but both times he was rejected. Then Mr. Hardling gave Cohen a recess appointment, which placed the color! Louisiana leader in the position he desired, although without pay. It has been rumored here for several months that the recess appointment has been weakly and does not care for the 50,000 a year the job carries as salary. It is said, however, that Cohen would be confirmed by the Senate as a mark of prestige. Cohen came in handy with the Haitian forces in Chicago during the 1920 national convention when he, as head of the Louisiana Republican delegates, swung them to the Haitian ranks. This act is said to be what endured the name of Cohen to the late President. The final recollection of Cohen is taken by some to mean that he ordered of Noreen addition of Fever with the administration.

False Report Denied by Dept. of Labor—Minor Position in Chicago. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21—Morris Lewis, former secretary of the Chicago branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and lately announced circulation manager of the Chicago Defender, is not the new chief in the Department of Conciliation of the Labor Department as was announced in the Afro-American, the Chicago Whip and the Chicago Defender last week. The report was denied by the Department of Labor that Lewis had been appointed to succeed the late Philip H. Brown, who died last November. The Labor Department, however, stated that Mr. Lewis had been appointed a Commissioner of Conciliation and assigned to the Chicago district. There are over such commissioners in a mining center, the secretary working under Secretary of Labor James J. Davies, all of whom, except Mr. Lewis, are white. Political Appointment The appointment of Morris Lewis comes under the category of a purely political one. It is understood he was appointed at the urgent solicitation of Senator Medil McCormick of Illinois, who comes up for reelection this year. Senator McCormick's white washing of the Haitian situation and apparent lack of sincerity in handling matters affecting the interest of the Negro race has placed him in bad with the Negro voters in Illinois, who virtually hold the balance of power in that state. Therefore, in order to try to appease these discontented voters, Senator McCormick uses his influence to have Mr. Lewis appointed, evidently with the intention of killing two bishops with one stone. Mr. Lewis' job, it was unofficially stated will bring him a salary of only $2,000 per year. Jefferson S. Coage of Delaware, who is now in the Virgin Islands as a member of a special Commission appointed to make a study of conditions in the islands, was also supposed to have been appointed to the position made vacant by Brown's death. The announcement of his appointment was likewise made in the white press by a Delaware correspondent. This correspondent claimed that Senator Ball of that state was behind the appointment.

Race Teachers SeekEqual Pay In New Jersey NEW YORK, Feb. 21—Why should the salary of the Negro teacher be less than that of his white colleagues when both have to observe the same standards of performance and make the same preparation? This is the question which the Organization of Teachers of Colored Children of the State of New Jersey is circulating with the purpose of disclosing that the lower pay in the Counties of Salem, Cape May, Cumberland and Monmouth is based on racial grounds only and not on the practical consideration of the teacher's worth. According to a resolution recently passed by the organization, race teachers in these four counties are in many cases receiving from $100 to $200 less annually than the white teachers. This same resolution voices the opinion that should this salary preference continue the morale of the teaching force will break down and inflict an irreparable injury on school children, who according to the organization, state the most need of tutelage. The second article of the resolution says "A salary惩惩 must inevitably attract an inferior grade of teacher to the colored school, preventing the colored standard; many of New Jersey's school children are in this manner denied equal educational opportunities, and the spirit of the State Constitutional is violated. Girls Told To Stay In After Dark In South NEW ORLEANS, La., Feb. 21—According to reports here a black robed order, whose members are alleged Negroes, has spread terrors to the colored residents by its recent reported kidnapping of colored women and girls after dark. Rumors state the black kluxers told a fair Creele to "stay in" after dark. The girl, Madeline Devereaux, 18, pretty, and petite, told the reporter she had been taken to a house in one of the crowded residential sections by an automobile. A single candle on a stable in the council chamber allowed her to see about 15 men housed and dressed in black robes with white crosses on their breasts. The speaker warned her against association with white men and told her the "Order" had the proper medicine for women who disobeyed.

Although\ denying the charges of the girl, medical examination made by Dr. Sullivan, one of the city examining physicians, showed that Johnson's physical condition tallied with the story told by the girl. Mrs. Mamie Jenefer, mother of the girl, stated on the witness stand that shortly after the affair an examination of the child showed not only that she had been brutally mutilated, but that she had probably been ruined for life by the ravages of disease. She is still under treatment. In his own defense Johnson denied having abused the girl, at first denying that he had ever seen her, according to the testimony of Officer Leach of the Northwestern District. In Criminal Court he admitted that the girl was in his place on the Sunday in question, but stated that she came of her own volition and that when he repulsed her attention, she then told that story of the alleged outrage. After deliberating for an hour the jury brought in a verdict of guilty of carnally knowing a female child under the age of 14 years, against Johnson. Sentence was suspended by Judge Frank.

FARM AGENTS PRAISED BY CABINET OFFICIAL; RESULT OF "PRIZE TRIP" Woman Demonstration Agent Tells of Many Difficulties Which Have Been Overcome By Scientific Methods. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Secretary Wallace of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, after receiving a group of Negro farm experts employed by the Government for field work in Alabama and Mississippi, two of whom were specially designated for a "prize trip" to Washington on account of the best work as shown by the annual extension reports, has made an official release regarding the excellent work of the entire group. The Negro workers in Alabama raised the funds among themselves for these prize trips, which ```markdown ``` LATEST RACE RECORDS We carry the largest stock of race records in Pittsburgh.

Hill, from Limestone county, Alabama, and one local home demonstration agent, Mrs. L. R. Daly, from Montgomery county. The reports were judged by an official connected with extension work in the department and representatives of the agricultural college in Alabama. To accompany the two prize winner of the State College, they sent the NEGro State agent county agent work, home demonstration work and boys' club work—Harry Simms, Rosa B. Jones and C. M. Kynete. The NEGro field representative of the Office of Extension Work, T. M. Campbell, was with the group and in addition, George C. Cypress, the Negro State club agent for Mississippi, was sent on funds raised in that state. "A campaign for building doorsteps may be considered odd," said Mrs. Daly, in telling a group of extension people about her work, "but it is typical of the conditions we have to meet and the needs of some of our people." We can only attempt to introduce very simple improvements, such as getting decent approaches to some of the farm areas among the Negroes. A little use it might about water systems, an example, for the average Negro farmer not only could not afford to put them in, but often his house has no source of water whatever, and the members of the family have to carry all their water in buckets from some neighbor's house." Mrs. Daly described many amusing and touching incidents connected with her work among Negro homes. These were substantiated in character by the account of the work among the men given by Mr. Simms. Over 78,000 of the 95,000 Negro farmers in Alabama are tenant farmers. They work under a bad system, whereby the landlord controls their financial affairs and many of them practically never out of debt. Missionary work among these Negro farmers, for in a way that is what extension work is, requires an immense amount of tact and a sympathetic attempt to come close to their special problems.

APEX PR The World Hair Prep AGENTS WANTED SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23 Longer Life For Youth and Adults Says Statistician New York White Insurance Doctor Claims Five Years Added in Decade. NE WYORK. Feb. 21. — Outlook for a longer life for the average American Negro is very bright, studies made by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's statistical division reveal. And this tendency reflects a far-reaching change in the economic and social life of America today, in the opinion of Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician. Briefly stated, the life span of the American Negro has been lengthened by five years during the last decade. This is due to two great factors. First of them the increased interest on the part of the organized public health movement in the well-being of the Negro and more especially the nursing health service. The second is the awakening of the Negro race to its opportunities for better conditions of life and labor. While the death rate among the Negro population is still in excess of that among white persons, the gap is gradually being lessened. Control is being gained over tuberculosis, typhoid fever, malaria and other diseases which caused high death rates among Negroes ten years ago. This is being brought about by the Negroes themselves. Dr. Dublin believes, through their press and other facilities for teaching prevention measures, as well as through other public health agencies. The condition of the Negro in towns and cities of the North, as well as the South, is much improved in recent years, and Dr. Dublin's studies indicate that the improvement will probably continue.

He was robbed of $802.95. The man's body was found the next morning when workers were adjusting the damper of the furnace. They notified the police.

But, happily, the new location was with her frontage comparing to that of the city's best hotels, and a depth of street, balanced by a stone structure—modeled after monuments of yoed old days—supplied with heathful springs and there—Iron City Lodge has secured a "set" and home where of itself will afford indiscreet that fraternity in such large numbers that they were forced to turn some away for lack of accommodation; and that all who sought loud praises of the new and apollous home. The picture shows that this home is the most picturesque in Western Pennsylvania, some members are rushing a hawk about the price paid to it. It is understood that $2,000 is what the home cost—the applauded is a few thousand lower—which is neither a harder beating howl: "It's too much." If one man, between 40 and 50 years old proposes the Column for a carer earning between $25 and $45 per week we are to undertake this name proposition the Column for a carer "But since the membership (which is to foot the bill) totals around 450 native average price for a carer for his family only the problem.

Especially so since the captain of the ship is our own Wesley Lane, a favorite of the Avenue. We are in situations with more creditable history. Step on her, Iron City—the conventions are coming! THE proprietor of Kravitz Loan Office is said to have reported a tray of diamond rings, some cuff links and gold rings, each costing more than $500. The loss is estimated at about $800. The column has been trying to find out what class of DIAMOND TRAY can buy for $899 PER TRAY of course, no mention was made of diamonds from day to day, in spite of protest from various Negro institutions. Since this looting occurred during the 1960s, the police should have been—alasleep, and the police reported no suspicious persons with the popular method of fastening crimes to presume that some Negro did the hooting, and they haven't found a Negro wearing one of those diamond rings which can be bought for $500 A TRAY. THE Little Savoy, which was reported on the market "for sale" that week has been raided again — in spite of the fact that it was Mr. Silverman says that he is raided often because a certain business man (man) would be closed in three months. But, our dear sir, that is not the case. Mr. Silverman has a mind to sell what you advertise on the front window the raids will cause, and that is why many of finding out who sells them are goodness of how you paint and decorate the front window.

B ACK in the days when the Avenue was infested with real bind characters, the city "wild open," a raid on disorderly houses meant something. The proprietor of the raided place was fined heavily and ordered to "stay closed—and they abided by those orders or were banished from the section. Last week a raid was made on "shackle" emporiums, Moonshine, bonded whisky, gin and wine was confounded. Each person arrested was held in bond for a court hearing. But one hour after the raid they were open, leading out of the same hollows, disgorging; the same lives and contributions to a condition which will have no good influence on the young blood which we are trying hard to blur the trail for. The Column is told to keep mum on incidents of this kind but we are entirely too dense to conceive the standard by which this practice outweighs our idea of achievement and conservation. And each day, in this particular way, we, willingly, get dumb and "dumper." Two married women who were versed in though they had known each other for years were in the world of people. The column had taken place at the end of a long line of people waiting to have work done to teeth which they had neglected—even as you and I. After spending a few minutes gasping about another woman (what is a natural sequence to two women meeting and talking) one of the ladies struck a note which appeared on account of its simplicity and soothed by reason of its beauty. "When I was a girl," she continued, "love-making was a subject for conversation with girls only. I enjoyed being in the company of boys, I true, but I liked to speak their words, and they'd like to speak their heart, laugh—I liked to put with them. And they seemed to accept me as a pet. They brought me their hardships, their troubles, their future plans, and ideals, and somehow I caught the way of their emotions and helped solve the problems and enlarge up their theories. They treated me as a pal and not a sweetheart—and I enjoyed it." Which puts before our vision the most important object of millions of wonders? placed on earth for man's pleasure and for her husband.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—It became known through official sources here late last week that the A. A. U. has called the violet from the field of stubble and has drafted what it is pleased to call a list of "potential candidates for the American Olympic game," based on performances past and present. The prospectus includes the names of Earl Johnson, national 10-mile champion; DeHart Hubbard, sensational Michigan college star; Ned Gourdin, former Harvard athlete, and holder of the world's broad jump record, and Albert Washington, the spectacular spirit of Chicago University. Johnson Heads Lift. Earl Johnson leads national championships with the possible nominees at 10,000 meters, followed by James Heinign, Dorchester, Massachusetts; Gray, Philadelphia, and F. E. Wendling, Buffalo. Johnson is a certainty on the Olympic team. With the departure of Ritola for Finland, the only man in this country who has ever won a national title from Johnson is wined off the state, and upon the Edgar Thompson runner tests the hopes of the United States in the long distance race. Hubbard and Gourdin Sure. Both Hubbard and Gourdin, who are foremost among the list of broad jumpers, have bettered 25 feet in their leaps in competition, and are required to go abroad, unless injuries bop up. All three of these men have enviable reputations. Of the nineteen national champions crowned at the national track and field championship meet held at Staggy Field in Chicago last September, no less than three champions and two more. Who would be men's none can oneth the names of most performers as DeHart Hubbard, star all-around performer at university of Michigan. E. O. Gourdin, the former Harvard athlete and the world's record holder for the broad jump. Sol Burton, national broad jumper, and Dulce Collea and R. Earl Johnson of Pittsburgh, three times national champion in the five-mile event. Washington a Comer. Albert Washington, the University of Chicago spinner, is by and for Beck to be a second round pick. He spins second to Loren Murray, the Little Newark A. C. champion, in the 100 yard dash at the last national, and although he has to fight for a position, it is almost a certainty that he will make his appearance. Last Butler Not mentioned.

Feb. 21.—Tut Jackson, Washington Court House scraper, and at one time promi- nently mentioned as a heavyweight championship possibility, won the referee's decision over Battling Siki, Senagatee, in a 10-round bout here Thursday night. Siki appeared to be in poor fighting trim, while Jackson apparently was afraid to bore into his smaller, but inherently more ferocious opponent. Siki electrified the crowd on several occasions by his unorthodox method of fighting. The bout was slow throughout, although both appeared to be fighting at their best, with Siki out of condition and Jackson timid. There were no knockdowns. Y. M. C.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21. — Whenever Larry Estridge, the sensational courtpaw who has been going like a house adore for the past year or so, is billed to appear in a bout in these parts, thousands of fans turn out with the expectation of thrills and the unexpected and these things usually happen. This makes Estridge one of the biggest cavals at the concerts this season. On the last Saturday night Estridge was paired with one Joe Lacy, a white fighter practically unknown to the fans. Billed to appear against Jimmy Darey, things went wrong and about four other fighters were substituted one after the other, but in each case the hosts fell through and it was only at weighing in on the day that Lacy, billed in a cyclone from Oklahoma, would be the man to face Estridge. The wise acres predicted that Estridge was being fed a "set-up," but the result proved another upset in that Lynch came to the fore with flying colors and gave the fans an exhibition of gameness and stamina they seldom see even at such a home of things pugilistic as the Common Man. The weights were announced as follows: Estridge, 1831, and Lynch, 1891. The usual mean went up from the gallery, but none present imagined that Estridge would experience any trouble in putting away his much heavier opponent. All wrong again. In the first round Lynch went down, but got up in a lily. The same thing happened in the second and the dyed-in-the-wool match, and the ladies their wraps and the other regalia which go with an up-to-date flapper. But Lynch continued to come strong in spite of some nasty lefts to the jaw, followed by upper cuts to his face, like a palm tree in a tropical breeze. He gave the best he had and although his blows did not appear to do much damage to the colored fighter, he kept on pilloring him so fast he had Larry going down for the openings which never came. It was a bactic encounter up to the twelfth round, when both boys outlose in such a manner each and every fan arose from his or her seat and made the welkin' ring with cheers. Estridge used up every minute he hung out there, ever willing. The white boy presented a gory aspect in the last few minutes of this round, but the fact that he had remained upon his pins up to this part of the quadruple made all hands root for him to stay, and stay he did, and when Peter Prunty, departing from his usual manner of announcing a decision, called them to the center of the court was a draw it was received most heartily by those present who voted it one of the best decisions handed down. In the bout which preceded the THE PITTSBURGH COURIER "Cyclone" Joe Williams Signs Brooklyn Royal Giants Contract For 1924 Estridge-Lynch affair Jack McVey won handily from Abbey, Adair.

A fighter in the person of the sensational Gardiner from Philadelphia was introduced and announcement was made that he will share the honors on the bill next Saturday night, which will present Lee Anderson and Kid Norfolk in the main bout.

Feb. 21. —For the express purpose of verifying the schedule drafted by a chosen committee, the Commissioners of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs will meet in Philadelphia Saturday, February 23. Fiales and Irving Brooks in the outfield. We seldom make changes on our club and the team has been intact practically for three years, which accounts for much of the success, and Manager Eddie Douglas is not hampered in any way in operating the club as in the case with many of the other teams. Douglas' word at all times is law. Manager Eddie Douglas will return from an injury take charge about March 15th. We have this season, the Brooklyn Royals should come very near coping the Eastern League pennant. PEEPING O'ER THE SPORT HORIZON An aged colored lady, after hearing two baseball fans in conversation, as regards the Negro baseball war, remarked: "Lawdy, is the colored folks declared war on the 'selfs' and killing up one 'mother, too?'" What are we fighting for anyway? In as much as the combat is intersectional what will be the victors spoil? While we wonder if there's not enough finance in the west to keep players from hurdling to the east, we at the same time are wondering if there's not enough gray matter at the heads of some of the clubs in the east capable of developing players. Youngsters, developed in the west last season, are in great demand by the eastern clubs this season. How can a manager control sixteen players on the baseball field, when, in fact, he hasn't self-control? Baseball players, playing in the Cuban Winter League, are regarded the same as players, playing in the major leagues (white). He may be a star of stars, yet he isn't considered any greater than the national game. Bench Charleston, for being insubordinate, and you'll raise the ire of the fans in America, not so in Cuba. This same practice, together with throwing games, put a stop to players going to Cuba for more four years. Such actions, if continued, especially by the leading lights of our group, will not add one whit of prestige to the already criticized standard of our play. Players of our group have, so far this year, played important parts in the progress of the Cuban Winter League, reminding some of the old-timers, of the years when "Pete Hill," Lloyd, Petway, Lindsay, Dougherty were the bulwarks around which the Cuban teams were built, which defeated the New York Giants and the Detroit Tigers. Rube Foster is reported at Hos Springs boiling out, evidently feeling that the job of tackling the active training of his club, for the coming campaign will be a strenuous one. The Washington Potomac and the Lincoln Giants may not have as strong a team as some of the clubs in the Eastern League, but they have two canable men at the heads, as managers, in Ben Taylor and Jody Gans. Texas Burnett last year first string catcher for Indianaapolis B. H. Co. has the distinction of being the president of New York. Burnett replaces the veteran, Doc Wiley. Burnett will report to Lincoln Giants about March 15. Gray writes from Cleveland that he is ready and anxious for the season to start. It is an assured fact that Pittsburgh will have two high school baseball clubs this season. There will be a merry scramble for players the latter part of March. The Eastern league with three and four clubs of the league claiming the same players. Graham, formerly of Bachrachn Giants, will be a member of the Eastern team hits from both sides of the plate.

In this way Foster has practiced his skills and helped defenders and outfielders to pick from Salmon of Darmingham will be with Lincoln Giants of New York. M. E. B.

Peter Jackson Greatest Boxer That Ever Lived CHICAGO, Ill., Feb. 21—(By A. N. P.)—New light is thrown on the age-old question: "Who was the greatest boxer who ever lived?" In an interview he held Dan Hickey, a middle-aged champion of Australia, and one of the few men to ever take the measure of Bob Fitzsimons, the answer follows. Says Hickey: "Who was the greatest boxer you ever saw?" I asked Hickey. "The greatest boxer, big of little, that I ever saw was Peter Jackson. He was the Paderewski of boxing. He never made a false move, never guessed at anything. When he started something he went through with it as the great pianist would go through a symphony. He did it with him he made things so clean that even the movie would understand it. I delighted to talk with Peter "I should know of his skill and style, for I boxed him for five years before I started out as a professional. I began when about 16 years of age. The great black was a wizard and in the ring fought like one. In the training camp, however, he was one of the easiest men in the world to work with. He would coach you along and place his gloves lightly when demonstrating a lead. He was a gentleman at hearsay when he came back to Australia to die he was received by an army of admirers. When he died the sportsmen of Australia had carved on his tombstone the simple but elegant epithet, 'Here lies a man.' "Jackson's sterling courage was never so clearly shown as in his fight with Jim Corbett. Nine days before that match Jackson was driving along the road to the front of his horse, the beast blasted, swerved sharply, and Jackson was thrown out of the ring. His leg was smashed and he was unable to move at speed in the ring. But he would not consent to a postponement. He wont sixteen-eyes until he can see that there was not a good blow struck in the fight. It was called no contest. But efforts to rematch the man failed. Jackson was willing to fight. "Pittsizzams always admitted the skill and speed of Jackson. Fitz once said that Jackson could "kick his nose in the rine and Fitz never knew the meaning of the word fear."

After this gathering the fans may be let in on the lineup of several of the clubs. We understand that Pete Hill, new Black Sox manager, will protest John Henry Lloyd's alligator mascot. Pete says that the sight of one of the critters always makes him houseick and whenever he feels that away all he can do is go somewhere and sit on a fence and cry. We attended a professional wrestling match the other night, having been assigned there in our official capacity. A few things stuck in our craw. The first was that wrestling is the most brutal sport we have ever had the misfortune to witness. The second was the utter lack of sportsmanship in that crowd which was composed largely of foreigners with Italian predominating. They could see not one good point in the skill of the Greek who opposed their idol, Gardini, whose every effort they applauded. Once they became so noisy that the only means that quieted them wasargarment. THE HAM by Sergio Renato himself. An "addict" in an American city deaf to all appeals of the law save those which were spoken to them in a foreign tongue. Truly, these folks have long road to travel before they are real American citizens. "Six" Garcia is a much improved basketball player this year and fits in well in the scheme of things devised for the Commonwealth Five. He is fast, he is alert and he is eager to learn the fine points of the game. Hop Hubbard who, the Teller of the Truth said, was on his way to the merry how-bows is showing all that skill and speed which made him the most feared and the most desired player west of Pittsburgh when he raged the floor for Wabash Y and the Fort Club. Corporal Charley Mason has thus far been the hitting sensation of the Two Team League in Palm Beach.

The sad accident which took the life of Tony Boeckel of the Boston Braves has robbed baseball of one of its most colorful players. Tony was a scraper, a sure hitter in a pinch, a fielder who rose to the heights of glory when the fate of the game hung in the scales of chance. In that Valhalla to which he has gone may he never fear the raucous echo of Bill Klem's "He's out!" At the time this is being hammered out on the Underwood (free ad) Bob Douglas has not answered our query. Hurry up, Robert. The Cuban League is fairly sizzling these days. Extra-inning games have become the rule rather than the exception down there. Almendarel and Habana put on a 4-1 tie, which went 18 innings, while Sana Clara and Habana put on a 3-1 tie, which went 18 innings. Almendarel and Habana put on a 3-1 tie, which went 18 innings. Fabre succeeded him and went to the end. Mirbalak for Habana and gave way to Oscar in the fifth. Lloyd singled and scored on a double by Portuondo in the fourth. This tied the score and was the last run of the game. Fabre and Oscar are Alex Pompez's two aces in the Eastern League. The Hon. Oscar's specialty is making George Carr and Biz Mackey look foolish in a pinch. And anyone who trifles with the bats of those birds has the stuff. The Column had a long chat with Jess McMahon the other night. Of course, basketball and boxing are the subjects under discussion. Jess says that mixed bouts at the Commonwealth draw the best crowds, but in the case of the Lee Anderson-Kid Norfolk tilt it will be different because the team is to see the Reed try to revenge himself on Lee for that licking of some moons hack. He feels, also, that Ski is good for one shot in Harlem. On the subject of basketball McMahon was just as frank. He wants to play Loendi and is willing to play the champions any place Posey may see. He would like a game Philly, pay all the expenses, guarantee an upset against the team and give the receipts fifty-fifty. Which looks to us like a better than fair proposition.

Commonwealth "5" Vanquishes Vandals, 43-17 Seasideers No Match For New York Combine — Fiall and Grant in Leading Roles. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21—The far famed Commonwealth Big Five ran over from New York, smeared the Vandals for a row of boardwalk bath houses, and caught the next rest for home. The final count was 40-3-1. The game was devoid of any features. The Seasideers seemed to have forgotten all the basket ball they ever knew and, with Captain Dersey unable to stay in the game, because of a recent sick spell and Bill Howard far from his usual form, were but a set-up for Fats Jeans and company. Commonwealth, on the other hand, played their game jungle fight and then leaped through with the victory safely in. Score at half-time was 30-5.

Union University five fell before the aggressive attack of the famous Morehouse College quintet by the score of 39 to 24 in a fiercely contested floor battle staged last Thursday night at Johnson's auditorium before an enthusiastic crowd. "The Panther five was apparently taken unawares at the brilliant teamwork of the visitors, but got on to their style in the last period and played them practically tit for tat. With Capt. Gayles and the rangy Traylor led the bulk of the scoring in the South, had an edge on the less experienced Union quintet, but the game fight put up by the Richmond college boys will never be forgotten by local floor fans. In the first period, Gayles started the scoring by caging one from a difficult angle. Then tall Traylor and teammates, registering and tipped one in a basket. Time and time again the visiting toessers would work the ball down past Union's fighting defense and shoot accurately. B. Brown, for Union, registered a thrilling sideshot in that period, as did Allen, gear the first of the contest. The first half ended 17 to 5 in favor of the team. Capt. Joe Brown, of Union, was injured in this period. In the second half, with Pitts- burgh's own Jimmy Allen proving to be a veritable whirlwind, Union made basket for basket and point for point. This period Allen made "Y" for Yankees and field goals and was speedy and accurate in shooting and passing, feeding W. Jackson, particularly, in fine fashion.

Crime Le Sensational. News of the disappearance of pretty Nellie on January 28th, and the subsequent discovery of the body in the clump of bushes, her head dented as if struck with a club, and her throat showing the marks of human fingers, has stirred this community as nothing else in a decade. Richardson left her place of employment at the store of the local postmaster after dark on Monday evening, January 28th. Testimony, it is said, will be introduced at the hearing which will show that the father was also in love. Monday night, if of them were not together, within one hundred yards of the spot the girl's body was afterwards found. All Lovers Forbidden. Testimony will also be introduced to show that the father had told his daughter's employer not to permit her to have company and that he frequently came down himself to escort her home to see that his orders were carried out. Other witnesses will be put on the stand who will declare they have seen the two together frequently. Mr. Richardson made himself so much of a nuisance, it is declared about his daughter, that the employer was on the point of saying he had to stay away or they would have to get a new servant. Mr. Mosgrove told a reporter last week that the State will attempt to prove that the father killed his daughter and that the motive was her refusal not to have any other sweetheart, or her refusal to do his bidding. Middy Tie a Clue. One of the clues that points to something strange in the case is a middy blouse tie, which Mr. Richardson bought for one of his younger daughters. The tie was unsatisfactory and the young Miss Richardson gave the tie to her dead sister to bring to town with her the day she disappeared. This was later engaged to and married to Richardson. The state believes, by the father, who will be asked to explain how he get hold of it. Urged a Searching Party.

The Association Publishers, Inc., 1538 Ninth street, N. W., Washington, D. C. 241 pages. Price $1.50 at bookstores, $1.65 by mail. We have with us today a "purpose novel" by Gertrude Sanborn. It is "an absorbing story full of vivid characters written with a swing and showing admirable technique. It is the most powerful, and the most significant of any of the novels inspired by the social crisis." A press release states: This is the work of a Milwaukee society girl who has endeavored to disprove the old theory that colored.folk are far beneath the white man's standpoint and yet remain from it apart. She endeavors to bring home the truth that there does exist a Negro culture, almost in excess of our own, in which there is much beauty and nobility. She interested in the Negro problem about two years ago and immediately went to live in a Negro colony in Chicago. Much of her time was spent at the Chicago University of Music, located in Mme. Ernestine Schumann Heink's home in the Michigan boulevard and East 21st street, and she made matters worse. The synopsis of the novel is as follows: Rod Roscoe, a white lad, with deep yearnings for the nobler things of life, lives in the dreary little town of Waterport with a father whose soul does not allow the level of their business, to a mother whose mind is so small mindless, makes matters worse. Rod is slowly pining away in this dispiriting atmosphere, and she family physician, in divining the cause, contrives to bring him in contact with Carr McClellan, a man of magnificent personality and a wounded veteran of the Rod, on meeting Carr, suffers a shock. Carr is a Negro. However, under the geniality and charm of Carr's manner, soon forgets this, and he has become the mostیلت of the man who has been established between the two Carr again, and a very close friendship is soon established between the two Carr. This companionship, however, is broken when Carr recovers, and returns to his home in Chicago. The life of the late at the loss of his friend and unable to stand Waterport any longer, boards a freight train for Chicago. Carr welcomes him and finds him a home with Amber Blair, an octoroon, who lives with her husband and a little in the city. He is a member of the American's most distinguished white statesmen, she takes the forlorn lad to her motherly heart, and under the warmth of the environment he begins to experience true happiness. The life of the University of Art, where he meets many musicians, artists, poets and authors, all Negroes. In this artistic atmosphere Rod is inspired to develop his own artistic urges, and decides to take up dancing. He studies at night, working by day as a bandman, and is a student at the school at the school where he creates many beautiful figurines at night, after the day at the office where he fills a good position, passing as a Spantard. The life of the American was a dance of the first of the Service, he was a dance, and the Centriqment millions, and seized by the spirit of the dance, he drops his brush and begins to dance. Natille catches sight of him in the mirror and is so much so good as he has, such as his son, and he is so much so good as he has, but they meet again and again. He tells of his life among the colored people and of Carr. Natille herself was reared in France, and knows nothing about American culture, he is now the most well-known and the so-called "in the quick and wishes" reason of color abroad. He has, more or less, for the both, and wishes also to go among the colored people and to meet Carr a desire that is fanned when Rod shows her one of his wonderful figurines. The long-old man is a little in the middle of the best social set, is a handsome, swaggering cake center, and a would-be artist. Jealous at Natille's interest in Rod, Lane, in order to get him out of the way, gets him a position as a dancer with a leading in Natalie, still eager to meet Carr, is finally taken by Rod's a charity ball given by the colored elite. One of the leading performers instantly fassys the game. The game is the first to be held on the other side of the day when the following day's play was the time. Carr reads Natalie's love in her eyes and, shrinks away when he remembers his and the love wins, however, and with become enhanced by the love of his life. The game is the first to be called to the world. His life is not only in his love for Carr, while his. Lane's interviews, howcoes is swallowed up in the time. And now, while his name is against it, it is a different, personal, so far from the world. Carr's father, a man of domination, is the most high-class of his own. It is about Natalie's dead mother. Seeing a picture of the first track in the strength of character the person who has never been a single, his life is the first to be the whole of his life. He's always, however, no thunders in rage. At this critical moment, Rod and Carr come to the marion, and Carrwright, towards the age of age, cries the good God. Rod, thinking of the Placute Cartrwight, determines to look up Carr's father, whom he understands is a white man of distinction, to ask him to blend for his son. Rod goes to Mississipp and sees Carr's mother. The late-grandson of the family, the son of the son, who has been a white girl she forceses disaster, and heptens North in an end-carver to prevent the marriage. In the meantime Natalie deles her father is the son of Carr. Carr, a man of dishonesty, and his son, who is the studio, where he finds her with Carr. Carrwright, mad with rage, is about to spring on Carr when Rod and Carr's mother enter. Mrs. McClellan immediately came by her son, and he was glad to recognize Carr's writing. She was found at her own misery. Natalie, another. She reveals to the great astonishment of all that Natalie's mother was the daughter of a very wealthy white man by the 1800s and others. The child is very old, and she is the thought that his had most Natalie and her millions, whips out a revolver at Carr, but Rod diverts it in such a manner that Lane shoots his own self. Cartrwright, shocked at the loss of his son, and his son, and his son, and his son, and his son, and his son, and his son, and his son are married and go to France to live while Rod becomes a famous dancer, and writes back to thank the family drector at Westport for having brought him in contact with This book makes good reading. It is a nice story beautifully and well written. But we do not commish its philosophy. It makes no attempt to help the Negro as such. It is concerned with getting recognition from the white race for the white that is in the Negro race. And, of course, we are against this because it seeks to divide the race. The characters all tell a pitiful story about discriminations, etc., but they are more concerned with dolging such discriminations personally than liberating all of their people. We recommend the book for its entertainment only. HOLIDAY, by Waldo Frank, Boni & Liveright, publishers, 61 West 45th street, New York. 233 pages. Price $2. "Holiday" possesses a certain fascination and charm which is peculiarly its own. It is easily read, and one follows the story with increasing interest. It is not violent, nor is it so very shocking. It is delightful, with a few high points which are oppoite and truthful. This is a good description of the book: "The scene of Holiday is laid in the South of today—of race prejudice, of bitterness, and of lynchings. White people—Negroes. A very beautiful and finely educated Southern girl, possessing not only charm, but kindness and an uplifting spirit, typifies the tolerant Southerner. An intelligent Negro youth, conscious of race distinctions and accepting them, kind and helpful. Around these two characters moves this extraordinary tale, "The scene of Holiday is laid in the Sourie, of bitterness, and of lynchings. White beautiful and finely educated Southern girl, poised kindness and an uplifting spirit, typifies the intelligent Negro youth, conscious of race distaste without protest—also kind and helpful. Arms move this extraordinary tale. The town is filled with one day, while is contentment, prayers, hymns, greetings. So life in the town—then a festival, celebration woods between the girl and the youth. Sympa—a release of spirit and body—Everything Fourth, the aftermath—suspicion, an accident everything—a tragedy. People go into a mad themselves in fear. The storm breaks into a We like "Holiday" better than we like any one does not arouse envy and malice. The auttelling a simple (get intricate) truthful community life in a certain part of our country between the Negro characters is a bit awkward impression of what is going on in the Negro fetchet; but all in all it is a valuable control study of race relations. "The action takes place in one day, which is a holiday. First, there is contentment, prayers, hymns, greetings. Second, movement of a quiet life in the town—then a festival, celebration. Third, a meeting in the woods between the girl and the youth. Sympathy, understanding, emotion—a release of spirit and body—Everything is satisfactory, harmonious. Fourth, the aftermath—uspicion, an accident. The girl's indifference to everything—a tragedy. People go into a mad rage; others tremble or hide themselves in fear. The storm breaks into accumulated tragedy." We like "Holiday" better than we like any other of the "Negro" novels. It does not arouse envy and malice. The author has beautifully achieved telling a simple (yet intricate), truthful, straightforward, frank tale of community life in a certain part of our country. At times the conversation between the Negro characters is a bit awkward, and at times the author's impression of what is going on in the Negro's mind seems a bit far-fetched; but all in all it is a valuable contribution to the psychological study of race relations.

Fraternal Organizations — The Negro Sanhedrin commends the participation in the Sanhedrin conference of the Fraternal Orders and Benevolent organizations and stresses their importance in race war as a precursor to the civil line. It suggests the imperative need for larger participation of the best trained intelligence and consecrated leadership in these organizations, and the utilization of their financial resources for wider social projects in education, business and community betterment. Inter-fraternity co-operation is urged as one of the most prominent initiatives for a development and maintenance of harmony of action within the race. Religion—We conceive our mission to the world to be morally virtuous and believe that the Christian religion is not only a program for the salvation of the individual, but for the salvation of society and that the application of Christian family, family and civic relations, is the basis of a practical solution of race problems and differences. The Christian church is committed to world-wide evangelization and mission and we are certain that this field of human effort offers a great opportunity for interdenominational co-operation. We would therefore urge our independent communities and constructive program of world-wide missions. Inter-Racial Relations -- The change of distribution in the Negro population demands increasing emphasis upon community adjustments on an inter-radial basis. The Negro Sanhedrin commends the system of inter-racial committees and recommends the extension of this plan to communities where they have not yet been organized. Accordingly, called to the press important for assuming financial responsibility for the support of civic and social projects. Politics and Public Utterance -- It is the sense of the Negro Sanhedrin that political activity is essential to race welfare and that we should maintain a political contact with each and every political party through a leadership that is independent, intelligent, trustworthy and incorruptible. In the present emergency we cannot forego right to free and untrammeled public utterance in protest against forms of oppression to the race and contesting the withholding of our civil and common citizenship rights. Women's Movements and Organizations—Our conviction of the value of equal participation of women in all progressive social work and the wisdom of the extension of the activities of women in every possible field leads us to commend the part they have played and to urge greater activity. Labor—It is the sense of the Negro Sanhedrin that the exploitation of Negro labor in the conflict between capital and organized labor is unfair and detrimental, and that the principle of equal pay, recognition of Negro workers in fields where labor is organized, and com- Fraternal Orga Co-Op Fraternal Organizations Pledge Co-Operation Through Commission The Commission on Fraternal and Benevolent Organizations, having taken cognizance of the papers presented and addresses made at a special session under the auspices of your honorable body, the Negro Sunhedrin, held at the meeting on the afternoon of February 13th — and having carefully taken under consideration the functions of such organizations in the matter of race unlift and advancement, beg leave to executive Council To Reveal Plans ad quarters, To Be Opened in Washington, D.C., Will Keep Public Informed — Conference Permanent.

Business—We advocate centering attention to the development of Negro business in the connection of financial prosperity and independence with all other group activity. Professional business training for the higher personnel of organized Negro business is imperative at this critical stage of development. Cultural encouragement and support of Negro business enterprises. Race Knowledge and the Promotion of Scholarship, Music, Literature and Art—We call attention to the desirability of promoting travel, exchange of students between all bodies of Negro peoples, the broadening of journalistic contacts, and the development of scientific and accurate information concerning the history of achievements and present conditions of the Negro as well as concerning the history of the race and of African civilization and culture. We believe that the development of the spiritual assets and special genius of the race, in Literature, Music, Art and Drama to be for race development and recognition, and that such activity affords one of the most f. orable points of inter-racial contact. Negro College Youth—The Negro Sanhedrin commends especially the participation of organizations representing the Negro college youth and recognizes as of utmost importance to the movement the value of their continued participation of organizations representing the and the development of the program of this committee's report which is attached hereto, and made a part hereof.

Ben Davis' Resolutions Are Met With Vigorous Protest From Leaders "More Teapot Domes To Be Exposed" Editor of Atlanta Independent Shouts, Attacking Opponents of Bill Against "Lily-Whiteism." CHICAGO, Ill., Feb. 21.—The Lineoln League held its "sieges" on the fourth floor auditorium of Big Bethel. Early last Tuesday morning Roscoe Simmons opened the barrage by a speech on the Lincoln League, followed by an "attack" from the talking machine guns of political antiquity. On Wednesday Ben Davis, the peppery editor of Georgia, threw a bomb into the ranks of the irregulars when he brought forth a formidable, set of resolutions, charging the Republican National Committee with everything in general, lily-whiteism in particular, not forgetting a few stabs at the political caucus of John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican National al committee. Mr. Davis "missed nobody." He told of the treatment Henry Lincoln Johnson received at the hands of the committee; of the failure of the committee to print a sketch of Mr. Johnson's career; along with other members' biographies; of Mr. Adams' interest to Georgia and establishing lilywhitism. The resolutions were encouched in rather harsh words, and there was no mistaking their meaning and intent. Hardly had Mr. Davis taken his seat, when Attorney Homer Phillips, of St. Louis, Mo., rose to objections. "Mr. Chairman, I am opposed to these resolutions being presented to the National committee. Mr. Adams was here on this platform as our guest today. We enunciate him last night and 'Cainized' him today. Mr. Davis interrupted: "I want these resolutions to go through. I will not hear to hand it to any committee. If you kill it, kill it right here." By this time there was great counseling among the leaders. Perry Howard, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Homer Phillips and the "generals" whispered and shook their heads in frustration of Chairman Rose Simmons. The delegation wondered what it was all about, when W. C. Carrence Matthews of Boston, a barrister of prominence and politics, let the "cat out of the bag." "I can't understand what the committee means by supporting resolutions of this kind at this time. They know a committee waited on Mr. Adams this morning at the Blackstone hotel committee has not solved. Hold out for resolutions until the committee reports. These men know this; they have betrayed the committee." Mr. Davis said: "Yes. I know about the committee." I wanted to bring it up last night when Mr. Adams was here, but you said don't bear our guest. Now it is being down there and told Mr. Adams what you could do with this convention. Mr. Johnson then asked Mr. Matthews a very pointed question: "Do you not know that Mr. Adams is holding against me? "Yes," said Mr. Matthews, "I know all that." Mr. Davis said: "There are some more 'teapot domes' to be exposed." Mr. Matthews: "Tell it all, then!" Oscar D. Priest spoke against presenting the resolutions. He said: "I talked with Mr. Addins, and he said some things I will not tell you here. But I served notice on him LINCOLN LEAGUE DARTS The Lincoln League had about 47 state bishops, but the delegates represented didn't require half that number.

Perry Howard then asked to be heard. "The people want these resolutions. Let's pass them, but first give them to a special committee to redress them in proper form. You know we can call a man, bad names, if we know how to put it in proper words, and he will think you are a bad man. What should we do to these resolutions?" A special committee, including Ben Davis, E. W. Henry, Jos. G. Carter, Mrs. Lethia Fleming, Oscar Adams, Attorney Henry Phillips and Attorney. W. C.

(Photo by Patton) Harvard Honors Arkansas Man Of Great Ambition Youth Who Left West on Freight to Seek Education Gets Scholarship. PINE BULFF, Ark., Feb. 21.—A 17-word message, received here from Boston, Mass., last Thursday night, unfolded a story of the ambition of a local youth, of a persistent fight to overcome apparently insurmountable difficulties of his triumph over the forces with which he to combat and his ultimate victory. The person in question is George R. Perry, 31 years old. The message read: "Harvard University awards ten thousand dollars in scholarships. One of most important to George R. Perry, Pine Bluff." Sought Education at 21. The real story and its beginning about ten years ago, when Perry, then in the employ of the late R. M. Knox, determined to go to college, met the teacher at Perry, a brother of the late Professor M. R. Perry. His father and mother were poor to begin with and both died while he was very young. He struggled through the local schools, working before and after school. When he felt that the time was ripe for him to begin his college, he went to Chester, Pac, where he took the examination for entrance. He could not meet the requirements and he enrolled at Downington, nearly, and working his way, prepared himself for the university after a year's study. While at Downington, Perry was forced to arise at 4:30 every morning to go out and feed the hogs, and receive mail far, after midnight. He entered Lincoln University the following year, and for two years continued to work his way at the institution. Then came the war and Perry enlisted. He served two years and then returned to Lincoln University, and obtained his A. B. degree. Still Is Broke After his graduation from Lincoln university, Perry entered the Harvard university Dental College, and for the last three terms has been working his own way through this school. He recently wrote his aunt, the widow of Professor Perry, here, that he had passed all his examinations and would graduate in June. During the last two years, his aunt said last week, her son, H. T. Perry, of Perry & Co., understudies, had given his cousin at Harvard a small amount of financial assistance, but not nearly enough to lift the burden off his own shoulders. An indication of the hard sledding Perry has had is brought out by a letter received by his cousin here recently. This letter said that, Perry would not have a single dress suit of clothes, and that his feet practically were on the ground, because of their worn condition. His cousin sent him a suit, a pair of shoes and $80 in an effort to relieve the situation. Kappa Forms Chapter. BUFFALO, N.

These attractive maidens will assist Miss Emmett in leading the half-score of musical numbers Dan Dody has staged, in which 20 "tempting temptresses" will participate. The advance heralding of "Temptations" puts particular stress, on the important item of costuming for principals and chorus and there is promise of many unique and unusual style to be disclosed in the many changes of valent the girls will accomplish.

"Roseanne" Drama Coming To Local Theatre, Feb'y 25 Charles Gilpin and All-Colored Cast Featured—Seats Anywhere In House. "Roseanne," the drama of Negro life that made a sensational debut on Broadway, New York, several weeks ago, with an all-white cast taking colored parts, will be seen at the Shubert-Pitt, Theater, next week with Charles S. Gilpin, the celebrated Negro dramatist of "Emperor Jones" fame, in the leading role. Gilpin will be supported by Evelyn Ellis, famous Lafayette player, who won widespread notice and recognition when she played with the Lafayette stock company, touring the country several times. The other characters of the drama will be colored artists of notable achievements. The management of the Shubert-Pitt have announced that colored patrons may come to the box office with the full knowledge that they will be sold seats anywhere in the house—orchestra or balcony. This announcement was made because of the practice of some local houses in subtle discrimination—segregation all colored to one side and all white to another. The management also announces that: reduction on tickets may be had by clubs taking several in lots, or individuals buying for several in a party. Gilpin's appearance promises a sensation in dramatic circles here as it will be the first time he has made a public appearance in many months. W. E. B. DuBois Called Greatest Protestant CHICAGO, IL.

Marvel Malvel Finds Wife With Lover In Bedroom Husband Sets Trap and Returns to Find Prize Catch Woman is Killed. (Courier-Whip Service) CHICAGO, Ill., Feb. 17—Suspicion, fanned by the flames of jealousy and clinched by the discovery of an unfaithful wife in the arms of her lover sent an illicit romance built on stolen sweets, tumbling about the heads of its authors early Tuesday morning. Clarence Barber, who had ostensibly left his home at 3523 Calumet avenue, to go to work, returned home unexpectedly. He found what he expected. His wife, Mrs. Bessie Barber, was in the arms of Claude Abernathy, "the other man." Abernathy, who lives at the same address, had waited until Barber left to go to his work, and had then joined Mrs. Barber in her bedroom. The angry husband, his suspicions confirmed, drew his revolver and fired two shots. One found its target in Mrs. Barber's side. She died almost instantly. The other bullet felled her lover, and he sank to the floor beside her dead body, apparently in a dying condition. Landlady Talks Mrs. Christine Haughton, at whose home the trio lived, told the coroner's jury Wednesday morning that Barber and his wife quarrelled frequently, and that he seemed to be always suspicious of her. She declared that Abernathy, the "other man," was a close friend of both husband and wife. "I was in the kitchen," she said, "when I heard a shot and ran to the second floor. There I found Mrs. Barber lying across the bed with a bullet in her side. Abernathy was lying on the floor groaning." Following the shooting Barber made his escape and at a late hour Wednesday had not been arrested. Abernathy was in such a serious condition that he was unable to give the police any version of the tragedy. Graduates From Howard Making Progress In Law WASHINGTON, D. C.

Crosswalth, organizer Operator Services' Union Local No. 61, provided the chairman explained to the teacher that it was necessary for Virgin Islands to procure in the near future their political rights, economic liberty and social equality. He paid high tribute to the native intelligence and literary estimations of the Islanders, re- taining the brilliant part played by David Vesey, who was a native of St. Thomas, in his noble attempt to break the chains of chattel slav- ing in the United States in 1822. Randolph Speaks. A. Phillip Randolph, editor Messenger, was then introduced. "The problem of the Virgin Islander," he said, "is one phase of the universal angel on the part of the world's only a place in the sun." He pointed out the need for American Negro to join with Negroes everywhere and present a solid front against the imperialists of every land. Touching on the point of constructive propaganda he said, "It is necessary to interest the entire press of this nation in the affairs of the descended peoples of the Virginias." A. B. Berle, a prominent lawyer, was at present, and in a steady flow of exhilarating oratory, he resumed his audience that they need to hang their heads in shame; for, as he said, long before America had anything worthy to be called culture, the peoples of the Virgin Islands were developing and enjoying a culture superior to that of the rest. The reality of the Virgin Islands in the fact that since the possession of these Islands by the United States, the poisoned guns of prejudice have been introduced" said Mt. Berle, "and in the place of the harmony and confidence and absence of a race problem which the native enjoyed under British face are now brought face to face with the Bourbon spirit of the South." He also paid a gifting tour to Alexander Hamilton—the father of the United States—who has it that the constitution was worked as it is, in order to present Alexander Hamilton — the West Indian — from baxoning President of the United States. Major Jackson, representing Acton Mayor Murray Hullbert, expressed the willingness of the presi- city administration to give the Virgin Islands what assistance it could give in their fight for jus- Roger Baldwin Speaks Amid thunderous applause, Roger M. Baldwin, director of the America. Civil Liberties Union, was impressed. He raised the enthusiasm of the audience to a high pitch when he pledged to the virgin of the Virgina Islands the support of his organization. "Since 1817," he said, by one all of the ideals and principles of which this nation have been formed of freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of assemblage have all been held the people of this country. Under the prince of a war for democracy nearly every right guaranteed them in the constitution of the United States has been violated; and the violation includes the prescriptions of officers in the Virginia.

"O what can we save the situation," he said, "that is remedial legislation by Congress which will permit the removal of the present barriers to trade and commerce and establish local industries." Speaking politically he referred to the vicious attitude of a certain official in the Islands, and a small group of chenches, who are eager to keep their nests feathered, rather than see established a permanent form of democratic government. He gave a clear description of the shanti machinery for law making—the plush american system of franchise which allows illiterates to vote, but denies a large majority of natives such a privilege. At the close of Mr. Francis' address the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, The Virgin Islands, acquired by the United States from Denmark in 1917, are still administered by a naval government which causes continued dissatisfaction; Whereas, no form of stable government on democratic lines has, yet been put into effect; Therefore, Be it resolved, that this assembly of Virgin Islanders resident in New York, and their friends, call upon the Congress of the United States to grant a form of government to the Islands in keeping with democratic principles, and to extend the rights of citizenship to Virgin Islanders resident in the United States proper. We further urge the removal of these barriers to trade and commerce erected by American laws, operate unfavorably in the Islands, and are not responsible for the deplorable economic conditions now existing there. ence to accept the new rates of pay with present working conditions or mileage for overtime, but to sign the ballot of the Railway Men's International Association which will give men making, for instance, fifty hours overtime, an average 'increase of S12 monthly'.

It is alleged that some effort has been made to stop the work of the Railway Men's International Association, but the body has hewn strictly to its line of purpose and intent. The association urges the partners to give courteous and competent service and ever bear in mind the great responsibility they owe the public in dispensing such service. Just as religiously do they call attention to the rights and benefits of the public. The recent effort to secure adequate raise increase, however, has thrown the body into the glare of public opinion. "What should be done and will be done for the Pullman porter is the public's business," a local member aides. President Mays would not give any opinion as to the attitude of the Pullman company. "That will be ascertained when our effort fails—we believe the company will see our side of it," he said. HAMBONE'S MEDITATIONS By J. P. Aller PAHSON WANTER KNOW EF I'SE HAVEN' SPERIENCE WID.

Testimony which grew more sensational as the case proceeded, caused the court room to be crowded so that standing room was scarcely available. Gibbs was represented only by white council and produced no witnesses. Miss Wright Named. The most sensational testimony was that which named Miss Mamie Wright, very wealthy and well known New York woman, as will be several women of Baltimore, as correspondents. This revelation was greeted with an uproar in the courtroom. Rev. S. L. Gr Ark. Choice A. M. E. B NORTH LITTLE RO Feb. 21. — The Arkansas to the next General composing 52 delegates, the Rev. S. L. Greene A. Ph. D., president of Short as Arkansas choice for ric in the African Meth coral church. The couple were married in 1919. Mrs. Gibbs, formerly married to a man named Carter of Baltimore, and after separation from him, woed by several New York millionaires, chose to become the wife of a man who had just returned from service in the navy overseas; about that time. Her beauty and talent had gained her a prominent place as a member of musical attractions on Broadway before her married life. But she soon deserted the stage to become a fashion model in one of the leading commercial houses of New York. The number of her appearances enabled her to accumulate from the profits of this position a large fortune. Squandered Over $100,000. Squandered Over $100,000. Mrs. Gibbs testimony revealed that her husband, who was a follower of $100,000 from her and squandered it all. After setting him up in business two times, she said, he had only spent the money for some other purpose. Finally the income of $1,800 a month from the rental of two apartments in which she had given him a half interest, he also threw away. These things were not worth the jewelry, her $6,600 limousine, her pictures, etc. Gibbs was absent from the trial, which he had desperately attempted to postpone, but could not because of the lack of money. As soon as news of the trial reached him at Norfolk, where he was at the time, he rushed to the testimony and brand the accusations of witnesses as lies. Robert Robinson, 245 553 street, chauffeur, who -testified he took Gibbs and a strange woman from Hoboken to Dash's inn in the Bronx; Philip King, also a chauffeur, who saw Gibbs and Mamie Wright in dishabille at 207 W. 131st street; Fred Masters and William Garret, both of whom testified to incriminating indictments committed by Gibbs and Mamie Wright were the main witnesses in the case. Miss Mamie Wright, who is very rich and very popular, both in New York and other cities in the country, was frequently seen in the company of Gibbs. Miss Emma J. Meneffe of Baltimore, who was also named and testified in the proceedings, said that Gibbs had stopped with her for three weeks last spring, at which time he had a large sum of money in his pocket. Mamie he told her of his intimacies with a number of Baltimore women. Miss. Gibbs expects to do nothing in the immediate future except to enjoy her recently acquired freedom in quiet seclusion of her home. . . . e DUQUESNE, PA.

Feb. 21. — The Arkansas delegation to the next General Conference, composing 52 delegates, will present the Rev. S. L. Greene, A. M., D. D. Ph. D., president of Shorter College, as Arkansas' choice for the bishopric in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The delegation will insist that Dr. Greene possesses the qualities which a real minister should have, being pious, yet vigorous and progressive. As a churchman, Dr. Greene has been tried out in the pastorate, presiding eldership and college persistence; advancing steadily from the humble mission to metropolitan stations, and finally to his present position as head of the leading congregation. The South, as a prominent member of many inter-racial committees in the South he has ever sustained a record for fearlessness and integrity; never once yielding to the temptation which so often comes; to persons serving on boards of mixed races to do things or sanction acts that are disloyal, unpatriotic, and can never be explained nor pass scrutiny by his people. The Arkansas delegation is solely held by Dr. Greene in this campaign and together with his campaign supporters in every section of the church it is predicted that he will be among the first to be elected at Louisville.

Ricks had sent in his resignation November 7, which was to take effect February 7, but owing to the wishes of a large number of members of the church as expressed in a meeting at 45 Academy street on January 24, the reverend rescinded the decision to attend the Academy street address voted to recall him as pastor. The deacons and trustees led by Deacons Pinkman, James H. Beckett and others refused to recognize the actions of the members who met at the Academy street address, consequently were refused recognition in the church pending a big meeting which took place on the evening of February 13 in the Chancery Court. Both sides were represented by the best legal talent obtainable in the city and the result of the hearing with a shock to the Ricks followers. It seems that from the results of the hearing in the Fourth District Criminal Court, where criminal charges had been preferred against New Ricks were dismissed by Judge Greene, one was dismissed by Grimling presenting the charges. According to information received by a reporter for this paper Judge Gries informed Judge Backus, who was presiding at the Chancey hearing that his information was that charges preferred against the pass-out of things happening in Basking Ridge. On these grounds he dismissed the case. But counsel for the Pinkman faction advise the chancellor that the charges were for things happening on the street and not in Washington and it was because of these charges that the doctor tendered his recognition. The lawyer also advised the chancellor to send the doctor Dr. Ricks first. Before a joint meeting of the deucens and trustees in session and second: before a body of Ministers (white) of the New Jersey State Baptist Conference of the Church and a letter that the Pastor wrote to the congregation calling them that on account of embarrassing rumors, he had resigned of the Church and he strongly emphasized in this letter that no member of the congregation should feel it was from coerption of the Church. He must send a counsel him to send in his relegation but by his own will and accord. ...At this junction, counsel for the Bicks faction expressed a willingness to record the actions of the Bicks Academy street presides the Charter Court designate a Master in Chancery to sit as moderator at the meeting to be held at the Church on the evening of Feb. 13th, because they feared that a riot scene might ensue in the court the attempted to hold a protest, instead of party acting as moderator. The Commissioner stated that it was not the function of the Chancery Could to suppress riot. If they thought that anything of a riotous nature might happen they could apportion that he could not get the protection that he could not get the disorder should arise when the purpose of the meeting was simply to give three truces and he further appointed counsel for the Bick faction that he had not confronted the Street meeting. On these grounds, he would be forced to give his ideas. After winning a decisive victory in the Chancery Court, sessions and tournaments on the Pickman site proceeded to the church, where they met members prepared to hold more members prepared to hold a meeting. They were there as early as 6 o'clock, holding prayer meetings. The meeting for the evening was called to order by the church clergy, Simmons. Some members of the clerk factor mounted Dr. Charles S.

Owing to the fact that Dr. Morris has been very outspoken and bitter in his defenses, he severely criticized him because of the charges preferred against him, the nomination of Dr. Morris was vigorously contested from the Ricks side. The Pinkmanites gave way to their objections and they were persecuted. He chose a choice as moderator of the evening. Mr. John T. Cheshire nominated Judge Roberson of Bayonne (white) president of the New Jersey State Baptist Association (white ministers) as moderator of the evening, and he both sides and he was voted as favorable. On taking the chair Judge Roberson stated that justice would be given both sides. The church clerk presented the order of the evening, which was the election of three nominating committee members nominating committee had been appointed by Deacon Pinkman to bring in the nominations of these 'to be voted on as trustees. When the nominating committee reported the nominations, some of the Ricks followers, but to no avail as the moderator stated that according to their customs and constitution of their church the nominating committee was legally appointed and it was in his opinion that he elected as trustees were John H. Blanes, Bartley College, Wm. Toney. In presenting these names for balloting the judge expressly stated that all those in favor of these men nominated by the nomination committee, the Pinkman and the Pinkman and the til counted. It is stated about six hundred stood. After the balloting about two hundred young men and women calling themselves the Sons and Daughters of Bethany came in, holding banners and bunting "Ozark Christian Soldiers" and asking for a square deal for Bethany and a clean church. Seeing this demonstration the members of the Ricks faction admitted defeat and began to leave the meeting. So she prominent white ministers were present at this meeting. Some among those were Dr. Goodhall, secretary of the New Jersey State Baptist Association (white), and the Memorial Baptist Church of largest Protestant Church in the city. After the meeting was heard in the hall of the church the members agreed to ask for the officers who had fought so vigorously for Bethany and what she stands for. It is not known who will take, if any. SOUTH BOSTON, VA. Dupee Ragland has returned to South Carolina after spending several days with his parents. He is attending school in South Carolina.

THE ARROWAY the Mark—Arisfoerat of Toilet As the last chip of the "Ante" was tossed upon the table, Deacon Ism called attention to the subject scheduled for discussion and looked inquiringly in the direction of Deacon Toller, the promoter. But Deacon Toller spoke not. Deacon Ism continued: "According to my early teaching as compared to interpretations of the divinity of today, there is only one way of discussing this subject and that is on the code of the fundamentalists." The three other players remained silent on the subject until the "dong-dong" of the old hall-clock announced the time for a change of activities.

Deacon Lee was an artisan, a worker with tools, a student of literature and a keen observer of human nature. As a boy he lived as one; fought, lied and stole—as most boys do. He attended church and Sunday school regularly—when he was compelled to. In his early teens he payed court to the girls of his age, but never seemed to throw his full spirit into the whirl of galaxy as did the other boys. During the period from 20 to 30 he had lived from one extreme to the other; first a devout Christian, then going down gradually, until he was classed with the lowest dogs of the gutter. During these trying times this schooling, there were four people who welcomed him, were always glad to see him and lend a hand to help—the three Deacons and his Mother. And it was the combined effort of these four loyalists which restated Deacon Lee to his former self and his work. He had always been considered fair in deciding or discussing matters, regardless of who was concerned. And it was on account of the various standards by which he had lived and through all of which he had retained the virtue of being fair, that our subject: "The Modernist and Fundamentalist Controversy as Concerns Negroes," had been referred to him. After quiet had obtained, Deacon Lee focused upward at a comfortable angle and spoke slowly. Because the controversy has its origin in a denomination known as the Episcopal Negroes—can make very little headway by allowing it to remain as such. As you know the Episcopal faith has few Negro followers, comparatively speaking. Since the Christian religion is classed as a universal one and the subjects of the controversy are the fundamentals of a universal religion, I had thought of discussing it as such, rather than attempt to confine myself to the Episcopal doctrine, which would call for many meaningless classifications and creeds with which the average mind is not familiar. We are told by some of our religious leaders that it makes no difference whether Mary was a virgin or the Christ was of immaculate conception; they claim that so long as people want to believe them and get along peacefully while believing, we will do them no good whatever by contending or proving otherwise, and confronting them with the fact that all these years their faith has been invested in an imaginary virtue. But these same brethren will tell you, also, that the very foundation of the Christian religion is the spiritual conception of Christ in the Virgin Mary—that God saw fit to demonstrate and prove his power in ushering into the world a human being by disregarding the processes of nature. And upon the history of these two characters the Christian religion has developed. Negroes do not accept religion's devotion to a historical person, but rather to a submission to an exalted superior in whom they have a strong sense of dependence, fear, reverence, gratitude and hope for the future—usually a material one. In attempting to simplify the shipping of this exalted superior they have accepted the character in the Bible as the closest and only approach to the process of the Master—and the recognized medium beyond the worshipping and the worshipped. The go-go further than this by claiming that the Bible (which is a detailed biography of Jewish religionists) was compiled under divine supervision—notwithstanding the fact that the original was written in another tongue, using language symbols which today are known as hieroglyphics and almost meaningless—even to the learned Hebrews; neither do they give any consideration to the various processes necessary in the making of a book and the probability of error as the result of handling by mere men. A little research reveals that the word "Bible" comes from the word "Biblus"—the name of a reed which grows in the marshes of Egypt and it was from the leaves of this reed that paper was manufactured for use in the making of books; and the word "Bible," meaning "book," gets its name from this reed. If Negroes are willing to discard their superstitious beliefs about this particular book and the characters therein, the controversy concerns them greatly and will benefit them wonderfully; whether or not they will be done depends upon the desire of those devoted spiritualachers to be more intelligently informed about the profession which they have chosen and which is a vital essential to the welfare and progress of any race. To accept the Bible as a "book"—a great book—and re-classifying the characters as real, personal persons who made sacrifices for what they believed to be right, should touch a more responsive chord in the hearts of our race—instead of surrounding it with compulsory dictates and evil spirited mantels. At least, it would be a more intelligent way of determining why we worship any being or power, at all. About the existence of Christ there is little debate. The extraordinary circumstances surrounding His birth and the virginity of Mary, His mother, are important and it DOES make a difference in believers' difference—whether these accuse us of being or erroneous interpreters. For there are not mere incidents, but circumstances which are emphasized by all ministers of the Christian gospel—the main cogs of the entire basic works of the Christian mechanism. it is obvious that should these main cogs be of false construction—which debating tests will prove—the powerful mechanism which we have tried for years to build will amount to just so much seraph, which means that we THE PTTTSBURGH COURIER MEN'S WHY NOT USE KONGOLENE The Veribest Yet Positively STRAIGHTENS THE HAIR ASK YOUR BARBER Kongolene 100 PERSON Elocated Ground Oil 25¢ A Necessary Adjust to Kongolene MOST USE FOR HAIRS KONGO MASSAGE & BEAUTY CREAMS Original formulation for Skin YOUTHEW!

The Episcopal Church welcomes the controversy because it is educating, as well as stimulating; because it attracts the younger set with active minds to the Episcopal faith. And our brethren of all denominations should wisely do likewise—if they are diligently seeking the truth for themselves and their charges. As Bishop Mann said recently: "With this spirit supplanting the close-lipped, word for word theory as handed down to us by well-meaning, but ill-informed religionists of by-gone days, the controversy concerns the Negro in that it will serve to inculcate facts to our posterity." Deacon Dennn, the druggist (whose father was a Methodist preacher) took a second look at his watch, then thanked Deacon Lee. "After all, old boy, you may be right—I had never thought of religion in such a liberal way." LEXINGTON, VA. Rev. C. H.

NEGROES of this country can not be told with too much emphasis of the importance of settling down to business everywhere and in every capacity. For many years before the world war, we were competing with cheater labor from across the seas. Indeed, it may be said that we could not compete. Foreign labor took the market and he it because the American Negro could not live up to American standards on the same daily wage the foreigner was pleased to accept. But the war brought a change. The doors of America have been closed to indiscriminate immigration from European countries. It is well for the American Negro that the doors have been closed. We say, well, with the proviso that the Negro accept the opportunity offered him by the closets at our many ports of entrance. American industries need us; and we need the industries. Our great host of laborers must have work. The industries must be kept going. Negroes are expected to keep them going. The opportunity is at hand. Work is plentiful everywhere. The man without a job now is the man who spends his time evading work. Let us go to the machinery of the country and tail hold of it. Let us give to the mills, the industries, the factories, every plant that gives us employment a full time card showing efficient service. Let us work every day, not every third day. Let us return to the job after pay-day, and not the fourth day after pay-day. The work is ours for the asking. Let us man the machinery of the country and make ourselves the best type of labor on earth.

Just a Mere Incident THE now infamous Teapot Dome scandal is beginning to lose its front page drawing power, and soon it will be history fit only to be resurrected in future campaigns to the dismay of Republicans and Democrats whose names have been linked with the odium.

N keeping with the spirit of fair play to American lab of every class, there has arisen a general demand for adequate pay for the Pullman porter. The organization in behalf of the men has assumed almost gigantic proportions. Indeed, it seems that the Pullman company appoints the significance of the demand more than do the making it. In order to anticipate the general demand for raise, the Pullman company hastened the report of an increase of 8 per cent, it is claimed. The men are not satisfied with the 8 per cent raise because their fight, if it may be termed a fight, is for an adjustment of working hours as well as compensation. Americans are so accustomed to paying a "bonus" almost every type of public and semi-public service that a Pullman company has been able to figure into the porter's salary the generosity of the traveling public. The figure has been almost correct. If not correct, it has so nearly a proached the estimate placed upon it by the company, the porters have been content to count their tips as a part their income, giving the Pullman company the same crew for tips as for the pay envelope. This is wrong. It is unfair to the public, and it is unfa to the porter. If the company desires to employ dependable porters; if the public is to be given reliable and trustworth- help, a sufficient wage ought to be guaranteed regardless of the generosity of the public. And it must be remember that the generosity is very often born of the little attention given by the porter, and these little attentions are not a part of thea privileges sold at the ticket window. The company can afford to pay the men adequately. The public ought to be expected to supplement the wage paid by the compan Porters ought not to depend upon the generosity of the pub for a living wage, but should be guaranteed ample sal to make the work attractive and profitable. It is hoped the porters will conduct a successful car of weight they are worth. It is likewise the hope the Pullman company will see the impropriety of longer p of weight they are worth. It is likewise the hope the public to make such a large contribution to the company pay-roll. Give the men adequate pay; they can it twice over.

It was not difficult to determine which of the two enjoyed the endorsement of the people. This Sanhedrin, was a meeting of people of serious mind. The Lincoln League was a meeting of men fighting for political prominence and a job. Out of the Sanhedrin developed a program of action. The representatives in attendance upon the serious conversation were men and women who represented some thing and some thought. At the League meetings we had the usual talk devoted to the praise of the white men who usually finance such meetings.

The program of action adopted will be the tetion of the majority of the group, and those who offer resistance will find themselves opposed by the greatest organized force this country has ever seen. Cooperation, coordination, cohesion and confidence were everywhere lauded as the basic principle upon which to build our future action.

Dean Kelly Miller leads his now organized force. His Sanhedrin has met and adjourned. It now remains for the people to try out the Sanhedrin program for two years, and then, under the terms of the Constitution adopted, if there is need of amendment or revision, we may legislate as the exigencies require. At any rate, we are off to a good beginning, with the approval of the best minds available. We ought to make some progress under our new charter. THE PUBLISHER'S CHAT THE PUBLISHER'S CHAT to make this a "house of service." I avail. From an agent who is located where I have received the following: I give your paper for the splendid service time to receive my papers late. I allow THE COURER large with us. But it counts individuals in union: "Those possible, for we deal with several hun- well-pleased with our efforts at it." I make us lay down on the job. If not feel satisfied and let up, but re-transactions up to that high mark. As we have said before we try to make this a "house of service." Evidently all our efforts are not in vain. From an agent who is located quite a distance from our office, we have received the following: "I wish to congratulate you and your paper for the splendid service that you give as I have my first time to receive my papers late. I always feel that I can depend upon THE COURRIER to get here on time." This may seem a small item, but it counts large with us. Think what it means when several hundred individuals say in unison: "Those are my sentiments." And that is possible, for we deal with several hundred people a week who are equally well-pleased with our efforts at efficiency. But compliments like those don't make us lay down on the job. If we are giving good service we do not feel satisfied and let up, but redouble our intentions to keep our transactions up to that high mark. Homely Philosophy By Georgia Douglas Johnson stop just short of it—there it is like a shy young maiden just beyond the forward shadow. You would have grasped it had you been encouraged, helped or beckoned along, but also, the encouragement that endures is self made and self ministered; turn to your own heart for succor and applause. Success is there, ever there spent traveller just beyond the shadow, Dash for it. Did you fall? Rise up more deterninedly, stride on; success is there beyond the shadow. The Man Who Sticks The man who sticks to his lesson learned; Success does not come by chance—it's earned By pounding away; for good hard knocks Make stepping-stones of the stumbling-blocks. He does not expect by a single stride To jump to the front; he is satisfied To do every day his level best, And let the future take care of the rest. For the man who sticks has the sense to see He can make himself what he wants to, If he'll off with his coat and pitch right in; 'Cause the man who sticks can't help win. Where Is Success? What success is, varies with the varying conception of it for you if it is this; for another it is that. Sometimes failure is success. Success is like beauty, comparative. But, where is success? The artist, the laborer, each alike seek it, they climb high hills, ford deep streams,hew great forests, searching, searching on and on for success and where is it? The iron-jawed, dauntless seeker finds it; the timid-and discouraged Whatnot Column By Robert P. Edwards (For A. N. P.) Who was William Still? One of the most active_workers in freeing slaves was William Still. He was chairman and secretary of the eastern branch of the Underground Railroad. His many ingenious strategies, including the digestive in boxes and cases, disguising-men in female attire, secreting in odd corners in steamers, teaching them to ape white-folks actions, etc., proved of exceptional value in aiding the slaves to freedom. Mr Still in after years wrote a book "The Underground Railroad." "The New York Times" summarize in regards to enlisting colored soldiers for service in 1863? The New York Times of February 16, 1863, in an editorial summed up the objections to enlisting colored soldiers as follows: First, that the Negroes will not fight. Second, that the whites will not fight with them, and prejudice will be so strong that we shall lose two white soldiers in battle. Third, in the free states very few Negroes will volunteer, and in the slave states we can get few because the rebels will push them southward as fast as we advance upon them. Fourth, the use of Negroes will exasperate the South. We presume it will," comments the "Times," "but so will any other scheme we may adopt which is warlike and violent, and results; and the best thing we can do is to possess ourselves in patience while the experiment is being tried." Who organized the first Southern COLORED regiment during the Civil War? To General David Hunter, commanding the army in the South, is given the honor of organizing the first southern colored regiment. He could not get white recruits and was surrounded by a multitude of able-bodied Negroes who were safe but anxious to serve as soldiers. In advance of public opinion he organized a regiment and was called to account for it by Secretary of War. He replied that he had instruction to employ all loyal persons in defense of the Union and the suppression of the rebellion; and declared that the loyalty of the Negro was beyond question.

AT THE NEXT meeting of the National Negro Business League, President Moton should entertain a motion to permanently establish and endow an "anxious seat" at Tushegee. THE-DIGEST ONE of the first acts of the new British government was to free unconditionally Mohandas K. Gandhi, the Indian nationalist leader, who was sentenced to six years in prison on March 18, 1922, for sedition in connection with the non-co-operative movement. Gandhi, who two years ago was the leader of 380,000,000 Indians in a boycott of all things British, is today an invalid and it is doubtful whether he can exercise his old personal magnetism over his followers. But, even so, the present ruling power in England, is apparently not opposed to his nationalist doctrines. By this is meant that Gandhi was the apostle of a free and self-determining India, just as MacSweyne and DeValeria hoped for a self-determining Ireland. The policy of Britain under the Conservatives and the Coalition was to use India as a mat for her imperial feet. The government officials were sent out from London; only small and unimportant positions were allowed the natives. A policy of exploitation in England's favor was the order of the day. British labor is opposed to this method. MacDonald's motives are more humanitarian than equitable. He weighs and decides in terms of human betterment rather than in terms of the pound sterling. If the freeing of Gandhi is to be construed as the first step in allowing India to adopt Home Rule, then the other darker subjects of the crown must be jubilant. There are the West Indian colonies—Jamaica, St. Kitts and Barbados—which will be next in line for self-government permission. With such a ray of hope, the subject peoples of the world can take heart and begin their fight for freedom anew. "HE SAVED the union." This is the act that places him among the great characters of the world. But he saved the union by freeing the slaves. This is the act that made him famous. The one hundred and fifteenth birthday of Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth president of the United States, which occurred this month, was the occasion for celebration, reminiscences and the paying of tributes. Children know him as "Honest Abe," the man who walked six miles to pay an insignificant debt. Students know him to poor boy who studied and read books by a pine-knot light. Young colored students, especially, reward him as the man who, in his youth, said of slaves: "If I ever get a chance to hit that thing I'll hit it hard." The aged and bent remember him as being kindly and considerate; as having a great heart that bled because of the nation's sins. Sixty years after his passing his greatness is growing. Where one part of his people formerly hated him, he is now being honored and revered. When perplexing and dark problems of state arise, our executives have the character of Lincoln as their model. He set the example of patience and forbearance, of firmness and consistency. "Let us have faith that right makes might" was his watchword. That watchword is good unto this day. It might be adopted with profit by individual citizens within our democracy, just as our statesmen hold it up as the guiding star of the whole country. THE career of Frederick Douglass, ex-slave and famous orator, was made possible by the life of Lincoln. Born on a Maryland-plantation on February 14, 1817, he was driven as other slaves until he made his escape into the North. He had an unusual thought for knowledge, and the story of how he got his education is pathless and touching. After himself becoming free, Douglass was not satisfied. He joined the anti-slavery society and traveled and lectured against the degrading institution. He told his personal story to Northern audiences, to their open astonishment and indignation. He was connected with John Brown up to shortly before the historic raid on Harper's Ferry in Virginia. Against that step he counseled, but Brown was determined. He had to flee to Europe for his life when Brown was captured and later hanged. When the Civil War came Douglas had become so widely known that he was acclaimed a leader of his rate. Lincoln consulted him on the advisability of using Negro troops against the Confederates. He also issued the Confederate Fifty-fourth Massachusetts census regiment. Two of his sons entered the service. Fred Douglas was perhaps the first influential Negro newspaper editor in the country. His weekly, The North Star, issued from his home at Rochester, N. Y., where he lived the greater part of his life, was highly regarded because of the editor's clarity of expression and simple narrative style. During reconstruction he entered politics. This was only natural. Being a leader of national repute his voice and pen were in demand by the party then in power. But he was no carpetbagger. Friends urged him to go South and return as a senator from one of the states. He was honored, however, with the diplomatic post at Haiti to the appointment of Marshall of the District of Columbia. The Marshall position carried distinction, as that officer was charged with presenting the President and the first lady at White House social functions. Douglass died in 1895. In later years he swung around the country on lecture tours. His success is one of the chief causes of the widespread belief that Negroes are natural orators. The citizens of Rochester erected a monument to his memory in one of the city squares. We Honor Douglass as one of our first heroes. THE case of the $207,000 Howard University appropriation and certain remarks by the Right Revered Francis James Grimke, a trustee of the university, has occasioned considerable stir and comment that could not be contained with dollar bills has lost Howard Grimke a $207,000 appropriation from Congress—Either Mr. Grimke was right or Jesus was a Jim Crow Christ. What Mr. Grimke said was this: "We have also in this city of Washington, D. C., a white Young Men's Christian Association and a white Young Women's Christian Association, from which colored people are excluded, and excluded because they are colored, because they happen to be of another race variety. The very fact of the existence of such associations is a standing reproach to the Christianity that they represent." It is a shame, a burning shame, that we are under the domination of a Christianity that discriminates against human beings made in the image of God and for whom Christ died, on account of race and color." No control can be maintained over individuals, but discretion and common sense based on experience ought to teach a man of Mr. Grimke's intelligence that wholesale denunciation won't remove the discriminations and injustices under which he and teh rest of us labor. We are just as much opposed to unjust segregation and discrimination as Mr. Grimke, but we would not start out to better our condition as Mr. Grimke started out. We don't need a method that doesn't get us anywhere. As a matter of fact, if it does; it keeps us back longer than we would otherwise stay back. The point is this: Until we get to where we can control something, and not be so dependent, we are compelled to take things that we would not otherwise Grimke's Error SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1928 EDITORIAL DOLIDGE let pass unchallenged. We all know that there is wrong with the white American than his black we are managing to get along somehow and progress. And further, we are mutually learning we get along better with the least possible friction. If Howard University could go to Negro institutions for $207,000 and not to Congress, then Reverend could congratulate himself. But to wake up to Islam and use abusive language in a favor—why that is impolite, even in our country. If Dr. Grimke persists in his present should resign his trusteeship of the university are too many young Negro men and women more of getting an education and helping men than of lambasting the attitude of white tians." It is not Dr. Grimke's fight as such we can but his method of procedure. LIKE we have our builders and our destroyers. We have our chronic, dissatisfied and complaining just as we have others who are at all times trying to build us up. All of us cannot rise, nor will of us stay down. But those who do go up, by male methods, should not be decried simply because they are up. Yet such seems to be the motive and tent of Lovett Ford-Whiteman, a Negro writer. The Worker, a Communist daily. Says Mr. Fort-Wilkman: "The rise of a Negro petty bourgeoisie is of recent date. During the last decade or more a lucrative real estate business has developed among class of Negroes based on the transfer of apartheid houses from white to Negro tenants. . . Through the years of life in America, the white man imposed the Negro, his ideals and social standards. As a result we have produced such exceedingly wealthy New families as the Walkers of New York, the Malone St. Louis, the Overtons of Chicago. . . Negro politics have incarcerated jobs through their ability to lead Negro voters. Yet the rise of a Negro petty bourgeoisie has its parallels in all pressed races of the world. It is only through further exploitation of the already enslaved masses that the development of a petty bourgeoisie of that race is possible." This is an attack on Negro leaders simply because they are leaders. The term "hourgeniste" is as old as the class struggle. The French made much of their "liberty, equality, fraternity" revolution. White groups and classes are well defined and are entrenched. They can withstand onslaughts by the "under-men" and their race as a whole still make good showing in civilization and progress. But now with Negroes. The better classes of us are of ten cent formation to be stable against all attacks. If our betters are destroyed we have nothing at all show why we should not sink into oblivion. Conceding truth to be in the statement that our organism is not perfect, we still maintain it is better to refrain from destructive group activities on our race is more economically. They behooves us all to strive to up in the world thereby demonstrate our fitness to live, rather begin so early to tear down—showing how easy all for us to die. WE NEVER know how much we gain by doing courteous. Kind words and a pleasant go a long way. When we are not thinking it, some little deed we have long forgotten will scurrying back, bearing a wealth of cheer and lust satisfaction. We may all be courteous. We may be the touch of the feelings of others; we may offer ourselves to the conveniences of our fellows. We should never haughty and overbearing, assuming an air of importance if our worth happens to be above that of our sociates. Little men show themselves to be great kindness and appreciation; great men soon fall in the people's estimation if they fail in small things. Wherever we are we can be courteous. On a trolley, in the home, at church, everywhere. Try to courteous. CRITICISM has been directed at the major college newspapers because they do not employ all college help. It is argued that if the editors are colour why is not the mechanical work, which seems to be less importance, done by Negro craftsmen. The work of an editor is comparatively easy, expresses his personality, good or bad. It is the mechanical display and arrangement that makes the per go. And that must at all times be good if any stairs of merit are observed. Printing is something that requires years of experience. Colored people haven't had big newspapers in plants for overlong. The white shops have not open to us. Hence when our newspapers reached the point where they called for expert mechanics, we are not able to provide them. Being a printer means ling type, in the most approved modern manner, the most approved modern appliances. The only way to do this is by doing it. Our own printers have yet had this chance. FOR several months we have observed the keen and stinging satire of George S. Seabury, the tutoring editor of The Messenger. His and Dusty" have been read with considerable apporation and delight. Although at times Mr. Seabury suffered a shortage of sheets, it is certain that a magazine he holds forth as follows: We had almost decided to withhold the prize month. The extraordinary competition promised us—there were so many fine specimens of we struck-John? from which to choose. Worn in gardd from wading through the usual reams of terioral drivel in the Negro press we were able to give up in despair and disgust. Then we managed the following dose of flubdubbery, called from a distribe against the bonus by Mr. Flood J. Cullis the prolific columnist of the Pittsburgh Council. "They (the ex-soldiers) would be sorry hear that their greatest compensation is that a president is still our chief administrator the chief authority of the government is so covered in the people." This is so good that in addition to the prize prizes somely embassed and beautifully quered dill pike), we also award Brother How the lavishly decanted tissue-paper overcrowd. The thrust in our direction is received in the manner we think it was ingrédient—with lighthearted To show that we enjoyed the pun we will remember Schuyler of this sentence he penned for the May issue of The World Tomorrow: "After a night at the Municipal Lodging House, with its pity taking and other prison-like humiliations, I finally ceeded in getting a $14-$4 week dishwashing post." When we were roaming "from job to job" in- ting was not considered a "position"; yet we graft- ed Sennyler his unpropitious synonym in exchange of the overcoat and the dill pickle.
